The Fiat Punto is a popular Supermini which provides an inexpensive solution to enjoyable motoring. It is a great little car for getting around town and it is economical to run.
The Fiat Punto was manufactured between 1994 and 2006. The car has not held its value very well and as a consequence used Fiat Punto cars tend to be very inexpensive to buy and are very good value for money.
In 2006 the Fiat Punto was replaced by the Grande Punto which was manufactured until 2010 and which has a different chassis and body shell plus a new range of engines. It has much sportier lines then the Punto and has brought the marque right up to date.
Following on from the Grande Punto, in 2010 Fiat launched the Punto Evo which has a very similar appearance to the Grande but with a new engine line-up and a fuel economy of up to 69 mpg.
Although the Fiat Punto and its descendents all have a good record for reliability, economy and performance they tend to depreciate very quickly and even almost new models can be found at a fraction of the price of the new car.
The Fiat Punto is a very popular choice as a car to get around town and its price makes it very attractive to younger drivers on a budget. You will find large number of them for sale across the UK from approved Fiat dealers, independent traders and private sellers. No matter where you are in the UK, Motors.co.uk could find a deal on a used BMW Z4 near you.
The sportiest Fiat Punto is the Evo model with the 1.4 litre multi-air engine. This is equipped with a turbocharger and will develop 135 bhp and the car will accelerate from 0 to 62 mpg in 8.5 seconds. That does not make it the sportiest Supermini on the road, but it is still very respectable especially when you consider that it will return a fuel economy of 55 mpg.

Massabesic Yacht Club starts 75-year anniversary events
Margaret Adams, chair of the yearlong celebration, is a longtime member, having joined the club with her husband and two of her children in 1971.
Over the years since its founding, she said, families have continued the founders' ideals by encouraging and promoting the sport of sailing and the art of seamanship.
Adams said the speaker at this Sunday's meeting, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Chateau Restaurant on Hanover Street, will be Matt Mercer, who grew up learning to sail at MYC. The Manchester Central graduate spent his junior year aboard a tall ship that sailed around the world.
Adams said special events are planned throughout 2013 as part of the celebration. The 75th Anniversary Committee is also seeking photos, articles and stories about the club and its activities.
Former members and interested community members are invited to attend Sunday's event hosted by the executive board and the anniversary committee.
For more information about Sunday's event, to contribute memorabilia, or to learn about upcoming events, contact Adams at 668-4993 or at email@example.com.

Villagers Use All Parts of a Seal
April 25th, 2013The hunters had hoped for more, but were satisfied. We headed back toward the village, the seal lashed beside us.
At Johannes's, we carried the seal into the kitchen and placed it belly up on the floor. Jens's wife bent over, keeping her legs stiff in the Greenlandic manner, and went to work with her ulo—a sharp knife resembling a food chopper, with the handle attached to the backside of the blade.
She opened and peeled off the skin as swiftly as a mother removing an overcoat from a toddler. She cut away the fat and meat, removed the organs. In minutes all that remained was a skeleton and two large and startled-looking eyes.
Those eyes and the liver are eaten immediately as delicacies. The meat, organs, and intestines are boiled or dried for use later.
Oil from the fat would be sold for 50 Ore a liter (about a dime a quart). The skin, strung on a drying rack, would fetch 70 to 90 kroner locally, plus an additional payment after the skins are sold at auction in Copenhagen.
The preceding year village hunters had sold 1,787 skins. With proceeds from halibut, they received 230,645 kroner—$36,645. When you don't have needed amount of money there are online payday loans available with good offers.
There were also fox and shark to be sought in winter, halibut, salmon, grouse, and sea gull in summer. For seven magic days in August, when the young gulls first try to fly and spiral helplessly into the fjord, the hunters paddle among them, stunning them with blows from sticks.
It was, for Johannes and Jens, a good life; a life they wanted to keep.

Tacoma's NeighborhoodsTacoma's history and its neighborhoods go back to its earliest settlements. From the time Old Town and New Tacoma united to form the City of Tacoma in 1884, neighborhoods have served as the foundation upon which Tacoma has been built.Today, with the formation of neighborhood councils, citizens and city government continue to build on that foundation by focusing on the places about which people care the most - their neighborhoods.Neighborhood Councils are citizen groups based in each of eight neighborhoods which actively participate in shaping the future of Tacoma. The City Council created the councils to broaden citizen input and to give greater representation in city government. The Community Council is composed of the chairs of each Neighborhood Council.

The Ray of Hope Children's Advocacy Center held an Internet safety program at Page School Center on Tuesday to inform concerned citizens about the importance of computer safety.
During a presentation was given by Jim McKinney of the Kentucky Center for School Safety, important information was shared to keep kids safe and to protect important information that could easily be stolen electronically.
McKinney went over several aspects of Internet safety, including problems associated with an individual giving too much personal information on social networking. He also went over safer ways to conduct transactions online as well.
McKinney stated a person should not give out information that could aid a predator in locating a victim.
"Part of the problem we have today is that we may be exposing information and not realize it," said McKinney.
According to McKinney, some smart phones (such as the iphone and Android phones) have the technology that allows geotagging. Geotagging embeds the latitude and longitude for the location where a photo is taken, which could help a predator find a victim.
"A person might post a photo online and not even know they have exposed their home's location," said McKinney.
McKinney did state Facebook disables that information from being embedded in photos, but other websites do not. He suggest that people go to the settings on their smart phones and turn off the feature before taking a photo. People can still use the geolocator feature for certain apps, but turning off geotagging will protect people from any info being embedded into the photo.
To help with safety, McKinney suggests families have their computer located in a common area in the home. He also recommends parents set parental controls for the computer, as well as having an updated anti-virus.
Updated anti-virus software can help prevent malware or other viruses from be placed on a computer without the owners knowing. Malware can be used to steal identities and account numbers.
McKinney commended the Bell County School District and the Ray of Hope for having the program for concerned citizens.
"Being informed is important," said McKinney. "If we are not aware of a problem, we are not going to be able to address it."
Ray of Hope Executive Director Gina Johnson said the program was phenomenal and informative.
Johnson said the program was an eye opener for her too in knowing what is really out there as far as technology goes.
"It's scary to think about what's out there," said Johnson.

The robots at this year's Consumer Electronics Show fell largely into two categories: floor cleaners and toys. But there was an exception.
That was a robot taken cleaning to new heights – literally. It is the Winbot 7 Series from Ecovacs, and this robot does do windows.
The Winbot works much like any of the floor cleaning robots, only it works on vertical surfaces. Stick it outside on your window glass and it figures out the size of your window, then travels in a zigzag pattern to clean the surface.
The Winbot has to be plugged into an electrical outlet that feeds a powerful vacuum motor that keeps it stuck to the glass as it creeps around. There is a safety tether to keep the Winbot from bombing pedestrians below if it were to lose power. If the Winbot encounters a problem it sounds an alarm.
The Winbot has a damp cleaning pad on its leading edge that is followed by a squeegee and a drying pad in back. The reusable pads could require machine washing after a single large dirty window, but more typically the company said they needed a wash every few months.
The price of replacement parts and cleaning solution have not been yet determined. The Winbot becomes available in April at a list price of $300 for the 710 model that cleans framed windows, and $400 for the 730 model that cleans framed and frameless windows.
They will be available through the Ecovacs Web site.
This post has been revised to reflect the following correction:
Correction: February 8, 2013
A report in the Gadgetwise column on the Personal Tech pages on Thursday about a window-cleaning robot gave incorrect prices from the company for two models of the robot. The model known as the Winbot 710 will cost $300, not $200, when it becomes available in April, and the Winbot 730 will cost $400, not $300.

Interesting interview. Talks Sturm, improving the team and Brayden Schenn.
As always, Dean Lombardi is a tremendous interview. I particularly liked his comments on Brayden Schenn, and how you hope that the player is a little pissed off about being sent down, but the importance of looking him in the eye and explaining why he is being sent down. They are doing this in the best interests of Schenn, and the next time we see him in a Kings sweater, he will be with the team for the entire season, I am sure.

This article is on using rsnapshot and an external inexpensive USB drive to back up personal data easily.
I'm a sysadmin in my day job. How could I not care about half decent backups at home. For years I have been running Bacula which has served me half well. An old AIT drive, a couple of tapes, my trusted Adaptec 2940 card and a PostgreSQL-driven Bacula installation worked moderately well but became increasingly cumbersome and fragile. The server (a retired desktop computer) crashed randomly during backups (some ancient SCSI component started to die). Or I forgot to change one of the three needed tapes (as I lacked a changer) in time so that the backup job timeout killed the running backup. Then I had to declare the tapes as free again because cancelling a backup doesn't make Bacula free the tapes again.Or I played with PostgreSQL and inadvertently killed the director process. So maybe one backup every two weeks really ran through. And restoring files took minutes until the database finally got me the list of files. Finally one of my tapes got stuck in the drive and the drive refused to eject it. Of course the emergency ejection screw did nothing. Enough was enough. So I thought I could use an external USB drive instead of tapes but Bacula did not actually support that. An ancient shell script (vchanger) should emulate a tape changer with USB disk drives. I was too far off from KISS. What in theory sounded like decent hard- and software failed me.
I decided to spend 50€ (the price of one AIT tape) on a 500 GB external USB disk drive and learn about rsnapshot. And in no time I had a simple backup running where I didn't have to worry about a huge index database and could instantly access any files backed up. What I did:
Format, label and get the UUID
After plugging in the disk for the first time I ran "dmesg" to find out which device the disk was occupying:
[219991.641225] scsi 12:0:0:0: Direct-Access Seagate Portable 0130 PQ: 0 ANSI: 4
[219991.641765] sd 12:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg4 type 0
[219991.642462] sd 12:0:0:0: [sdc] 976773168 512-byte logical blocks: (500 GB/465 GiB)
[219991.643080] sd 12:0:0:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off
[219991.643083] sd 12:0:0:0: [sdc] Mode Sense: 2f 08 00 00
[219991.643085] sd 12:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through
[219991.644964] sd 12:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through
[219991.646599] sdc: sdc1
[219991.694834] sd 12:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through
[219991.695212] sd 12:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI disk
So the disk was at /dev/sdc1. I formatted the disk using
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdc1
and read the UUID (a unique identifier assigned to each disk while formatting) using
tune2fs -l /dev/sdc1 | grep UUID
which gave me
Filesystem UUID: 44449456-2b13-47df-bfcf-9c5eedf3b287
Set up autofs
You will want to have your USB mounted automatically when you plug it in and use it. On a server there is no plug-and-play like that by default. But the "autofs" software does that well. Install it:
apt-get install autofs
Edit the /etc/auto.master file and add this line:
/var/autofs/removable /etc/auto.usbdrive --timeout=2,sync,nodev,nosuid
Also create an /etc/auto.usbdrive file (that you just pointed to) and add the line into it:
usbdrive -fstype=auto UUID=44449456-2b13-47df-bfcf-9c5eedf3b287
And finally restart the autofs process:
/etc/init.d/autofs restart
This does not yet mount the disk though. But if you change into the /var/autofs/removable/usbdrive directory then autofs will look for a disk with the given UUID and mount it there on-the-fly. Try it:
cd /var/autofs/removable/usbdrive
You may notice a short delay while autofs mounts the disk. Then you should find yourself on the mounted USB drive. Type "df ." to see the filesystem. It should look like:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdc1 459G 198M 435G 1% /var/autofs/removable/usbdrive
Install and configure rsnapshot
Install the rsnapshot package:
apt-get install rsnapshot
The default configuration file is located in /etc/rsnapshot.conf. Edit it. But beware that all elements have to be seperated by actual Tabs. I'm using VIM and in my default settings I used "expandtabs" which automatically turned my Tabs into spaces. You don't want that.
In that file configure "snapshot_root" to point to your autofs directory:
snapshot_root /var/autofs/removable/usbdrive
Unless you are happy with the default backup times you will want to change the "interval" section. Make sure that you edit the /etc/cron.d/rsnapshot, too, or else rsnapshot won't run automatically at all. I found the intervals a bit tricky but the the "man rsnapshot" manpage helped me understand it. You can use different names for the different frequencies of backups you run. But the names like "hourly" or "daily" do not mean anything. rsnapshot doesn't have any association of "hourly" to 60 minutes for example.
My configuration reads:
retain daily 7
retain weekly 4
This is much less magical than you might imagine. It just means that if you run "rsnapshot daily" then it will create backups called daily.0 to daily.6 and rotate the numbers on every rsnapshot run. You won't have more than 7 "daily" directories though which is what you specify in the "retain" line. And you need to make sure that you call "rsnapshot daily" through a crontab. As you can imagine I'm running 7 daily backups (up to one week) and 4 weekly backups (up to one month). So my /etc/cron.d/rsnapshot file has these lines:
30 2 * * * root /usr/bin/rsnapshot daily
0 4 * * 1 root /usr/bin/rsnapshot weekly
Are you unfamiliar with crontab entries? It's quite easy. You specify the times that you want the certain command run. The columns stand for minute, hour, day of month, month and the day of the week. So my daily job runs at 2:30 at night every day. And the weekly job is run at 4:00 at night on every monday. See "man 5 crontab" for a reference.
Back to your /etc/rsnapshot.conf. Define which directories you want to back up and which you want to have excluded. This is what I use:
backup /var/ myserver/

Of course you can decide to backup your entire server and just exclude evil mount points like /mnt, /dev, /sys, /media and /proc. But in a case of total emergency I'd rather reinstall Debian, install the packages and restore the files. I'm excluding the database directories for MySQL and PostgreSQL here because I cannot just copy the files but need to run a proper backup.
What I also do back up a list of installed Debian packages in case I would need to reinstall:
backup_script /usr/bin/dpkg --get-selections > packages.txt installed-packages/
And I backup the databases:
backup_script /usr/bin/mysqldump --opt --databases mailserver mysql | gzip > mysqldump mysql/
I have the MySQL root password stored in /root/.my.cnf so I don't need to mention it here.
Test the rsnapshot configuration
To make sure your configuration is correct run
rsnapshot configtest
Fix any errors until rsnapshot is happy and shows "Syntax OK".
You can simulate a daily backup by running:
rsnapshot -t daily
It will print out the commands that rsnapshot would run.
Restoring files
If you want to access the files that rsnapshot backed up this is as simple as could be. In /var/autofs/removable/usbdrive/... you will find directories for hourly, daily and weekly backups. Since rsnapshot cleverly uses hardlinks unchanged files barely take up any space. You can just browse around in the respective subdirectories and access your files.
That way you can even buy a second external USB disk drive and put the first disk off-site in case your house burns down, get burglared or your cat pees on the first disk.
Off-site backup
Of course if you lost the one external disk then all your backups would be ruined. So I suggest you get a second external disk and once a month swap them. Depending on your paranoia you can lock them in your bank's deposit box or give it to your mother-in-law. As opposed to other backup solutions you can just use the second disk without much configuration. Make sure the autofs knows about it and plug it in.
Kudos to Jochen R. who recommended rsnapshot to me.

Tobacco Report: PA Earns Failing Grades
The American Lung Association report gives Pennsylvania two failing grades.
The American Lung Association says Pennsylvania is not adequately funding programs to protect children and cut back on illnesses related to tobacco use. This comes as a result of Wednesday's release of its State of Tobacco Control 2013 report. This is the 11th year for the report which looks at how states and the federal government are spending their money on tobacco control programs. Pennsylvania received the following grades for 2012. "Pennsylvania must make it a priority to invest in programs that keep kids off tobacco and to help smokers quit," says Deb Brown, president and CEO of the American Lung Association of the Mid-Atlantic, in a press release. "That starts with increasing Pennsylvania's current level of tobacco prevention and…

"So lets be generous to your arguement and say 75% of those are caused by smoke related tobacco. " That's actually close to reality. The yearly fatality rate is ~6800 specifically for smoking. "We are still at nearly 10,000 new cancers every year caused by smokeless tobacco. " As opposed to 400,000+ fatalities from SMOKING, of which ~6800 are from oral cancers? This is where that 98% less harmful…   more ›

Updated: Tuesday, 03 Jul 2012, 1:30 PM EDT
Published : Tuesday, 03 Jul 2012, 1:05 PM EDT
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The new Spider-Man has launched with the same midnight magic as the old one.
"The Amazing Spider-Man" pulled in $7.5 million from its debut screenings Tuesday just after midnight. According to distributor Sony Pictures, that matches the amount that "Spider-Man 3" took in from its first midnight screenings in 2007 on the way to what was then a record $151.1 million opening weekend.
Photos: Red Carpet Style: Spider-Man
Midnight screenings generally have become bigger business since then, hitting a peak as fans shelled out $43.5 million for midnight shows of the "Harry Potter" finale last summer.
While "The Amazing Spider-Man" is well back in the pack by comparison, its midnight debut hints at strong box office through the Fourth of July weekend, with industry expectations as high as $120 million in its first six days.
"The Amazing Spider-Man" opened last week in 13 overseas markets, pulling in about $50 million through the weekend.
The new movie is a fresh start for the Marvel Comics superhero, retelling teen orphan Peter Parker's encounter with a mutant spider whose bite endows the youth with strength, agility and heightened senses.
Andrew Garfield plays Peter, taking over from Tobey Maguire, who starred in Sony's previous three "Spider-Man" films directed by Sam Raimi. Sony and Marvel Studios went back to the drawing board after Raimi decided against returning for another sequel on his Spidey franchise.

This year's event is generously supported by Google, the Yale Law School Information Society Project and the Princeton Center for Information Technology Policy.
About the event: Intellectual property regimes seek to benefit society through a variety of incentives, from improving access to encouraging innovation to preserving public knowledge. However, evidence has been building to suggest that there are substantial flaws in the design and implementation of various IP regimes, leading to failures in policy and harms to the public. As a result, active communities have formed to address these shortcomings and the important issues they raise, such as the tension between free speech and efforts to expand copyright's scope and enforcement tools; the importance of fair use and follow-on creativity; the role of alternative licensing systems such as Creative Commons or the GNU Public License; the appropriateness of patent protection for software and business methods; and the conflict between overpatenting of pharmaceuticals and broad access to medicines and diagnostic technologies. But there's much more that can be done.
Innovate / Activate is about sharing, discussing, and
reexamining our approaches to improving global welfare through identifying
new and existing IP-related activism efforts, developing strategies for
overcoming IP obstacles, and delivering practical solutions to spur

Solid Jan. hiring would boost hopes for US economy
WASHINGTON (AP) — The January employment report is expected to show Friday that job growth remained steady last month even though Americans began receiving smaller paychecks that could keep the economy sluggish.
Economists forecast that the economy added 155,000 jobs in January and that the unemployment rate stayed at 7.8 percent for a third straight month, according to a survey by FactSet.
The Labor Department will release the report at 8:30 a.m. EST.
The economy has averaged about 150,000 additional jobs a month over the past two years, not enough to rapidly reduce still-high unemployment.
Still, even modest hiring would cushion the impact of the higher Social Security taxes that most consumers are paying this year. And it would help the economy resume growing after it shrank at an annual rate of 0.1 percent in the October-December quarter.
Higher Social Security taxes are reducing take-home pay for most Americans. A person earning $50,000 a year will have about $1,000 less to spend in 2013. A household with two high-paid workers will have up to $4,500 less.
Analysts expect the Social Security tax increase to shave about a half-point off economic growth in 2013 given that consumers drive about 70 percent of economic activity.
The hit to consumers is coming at a precarious moment for the economy. It contracted in the fourth quarter for the first time in 3½ years. The decline was driven largely by a steep cut in defense spending and a drop in exports. Analysts generally think those factors will prove temporary and that the economy will resume growing.
Still, the contraction last quarter points to what are likely to be key challenges for the economy this year: the prospect of sharp government spending cuts and uncertainty over whether Congress will agree to raise the federal borrowing cap.
Most analysts predict that the economy will grow again in the January-March quarter, though likely at a lackluster annual rate of around 1 percent. They expect the economy to expand about 2 percent for the full year. Continued...
Two key drivers of growth improved last quarter: Consumer spending increased at a faster pace. And businesses invested more in equipment and software.
In addition, homebuilders are stepping up construction to meet rising demand. That could generate more construction jobs.
And home prices are rising steadily. That tends to make Americans feel wealthier and more likely to spend. Housing could add as much as 1 percentage point to economic growth this year, some economists estimate.
Auto sales reached their highest level in five years in 2012 and are expected to keep growing this year. That's boosting production and hiring at U.S. automakers and their suppliers.
Some recent signs suggest that the job market is holding steady and may even improve a bit. The average number of people seeking unemployment aid each week in the past month is near a four-year low.
Weekly applications for unemployment benefits were distorted in January by the government's difficulties in seasonally adjusting its figures in January. Even so, applications are gradually ticking down, economists say.
Payroll provider ADP said Wednesday that private U.S. businesses added 192,000 jobs in January, up from 185,000 in December. Most of the gains came from small businesses, the ADP data showed.
The department will revise its estimates of job gains for the past five years on Friday. The changes are expected to show that the economy added more jobs in 2012 than previously thought.

From the Farm to Your Neighborhood Store
Fresh, Local and Organic
Do you long for the taste of a sweet, juicy Hood strawberry? Do you celebrate fresh greens grown locally? Then you are in the right place. From local rhubarb and snap peas, to seasonal berries and apples, we have everything that a great produce department should have — plus a few surprises! We buy direct from growers throughout the year, so our produce is just about as fresh as if you had picked it yourself.
Inaba Farms
Yakima, WA
Starting out with just three crops on 300 acres using techniques cultivated in Japan, the Inaba family has been farming in the Yakima Valley for over 100 years. Today, they farm 20 crops, including asparagus, tomatoes, green beans and watermelons on 1,500 acres of certified organic and transitional soil, using environmentally and socially responsible farming practices.
Siri and Son Farm
Clackamas, OR
Crisp summer lettuce, dark green spinach, spicy radishes, festive cilantro, crunchy green onions and tangy rhubarb are just a few of the organic crops grown at Siri and Son Farm in Clackamas, Oregon. The Siri family has been farming their 200 acres for over four generations and is one of the very last agricultural holdouts in their growing region. They are also frequent shoppers at our Happy Valley store.
Mustard Seed Farms
St Paul, OR
David and Nancy Brown have been farming in the Newberg/St Paul area since 1965. They've provided us with an array of quality produce, from green beans to pumpkins, for over 10 years. We love them for their quality and consitency, and because they're so close to home. Did we mention that they have over 80 acres certified organic? Wonderful. To learn more visit Mustard Seed Farms.
Rising C Ranch
Reedley, CA
Eric Christensen knows citrus. He knows that picking when it's ripe makes all the difference, even if it means wa iting an extra week or two. He knows that qualit y matters, so he keeps his use of pesticides to a m inimum, and picks a nd packs each order right on the farm. And he knows that Jeff Fairchild, our Produce Buyer, gets all giddy when Eric makes a few varieties a vailable e xclusively to New Seasons Market for our annual citrus tasting. Thank you Eric!
April Joy Farm
Ridgefield, WA
April Thatcher grew up just down the road from her April Joy Farm in Ridgefield, Washington on her family's small farm. After earning her engineering degree and working in the field of green energy, she followed her heart back to the land, buying her neighbor's farm where, as one of five children, she milked cows in exchange for milk. April, along with her husband, tends 45 crops of fruits, vegetables and herbs on 24 acres and raises hogs for direct sale.
Sespe Creek Organics
Fillmore, CA
John Wise and his family have been growing citrus on their land for more than twenty years, and our produce buyer, Jeff Fairchild, has been buying from John right from the start. If you've purchased lemons or Valencia oranges at New Seasons, chances are, they were from John's farm.
Sespe Creek is located in an inland coastal area of California, with a milder climate contributing to slower-growing, richly flavored fruit. John grows, picks and packs his fruit right on the farm, ensuring that only the best of the crop is shipped to us.
Sunset Lane Farm
Brownsville, OR
Marco and Kay Franciosa give life to 10 acres of fertile farmland in the Calapooia River Valley, where they grow a variety of greens. They plant in late spring, then in the autumn they harvest the roots—which can extend a foot or more—and remove the leafy tops. They hold the roots at near-freezing temperatures for a few weeks to trick them into thinking they've been through winter.
Ready to sprout new growth, the roots are planted in warmer raised beds, buried deep enough that the tender new leaves will remain covered with soil. After another three to four weeks, ripe Belgian endives are ready to be dug up, trimmed, washed and sent to New Seasons Market. Kay and Marco are the only Belgian endive growers in the Northwest committed to using these traditional growing methods. The crispy, boat-shaped leaves are perfect carriers for seafood salads, creamy avocado dip or a wild rice blend, and they can be stuffed, braised or chopped in a salad.
