just a good place .nothing special
just good not bad. avg. place"
Dined on 8/23/2014
Excellent, which is why we go
often. One of the best restaurants anywhere we have eaten at."
Dined on 8/23/2014
The menu sounded exciting but the
food was disappointing. The service and cocktails were excellent."
Dined on 8/22/2014
Great entrees and desserts for
Pittsburgh's restaurant week"
Dined on 8/15/2014
L and I think this may be the best
place we have ever eaten anywhere in the world. We travel quite a bit, but always look forward to our dinners here. I had a solo lunch here today, and again great."
Dined on 8/14/2014
We've eaten at The Carlton many
times & the food has always been outstanding: innovative, well prepared & presented. On this visit & our last, however, service was spotty."
Dined on 8/13/2014
A bit of a blast from the past
with old style dining elegance. Lots of great food and many reasonable wine choices."

We went here on a Sat. night,
lured by an article in the Post-Gazette "weekender" which seemed to say that the Prime Rib usual price of $29.99 was discounted by $10. When we ordered, I attempted to ask the waitress why the discount wasn't noted on the menu. She, apparently not hearing my question, told us that all that was left were end pieces. Thinking this would still be a good meal, we ordered and were served meat which was dried out, unevenly spiced and whose presentation was gross. The coup de grace, however, was the charge - $29.99! We were told that the usual price was $39.99!! When we asked about this, we were given snarky and sarcastic responses. For the record, the Zagat #1 rated steak house in D.C. charges $36. for Prime Rib!"
Dined on 8/2/2014
We forgot just how good the
Carlton is!!! We had not gone for a few years, but the experience was perfect. The appearance is very classy. Our waiter Bobby has been there for years and was absolutely the best. The dinner was incredible, from the wine, the appetizer, my fish entree to the awesome dessert. We went before a show at the Benedum. the free parking and the limo service to and from the show make it really easy to get in and out of town. We will be back!"
Dined on 8/1/2014
I enjoyed every aspect of the
experience from the greeting to the dessert."
Dined on 7/29/2014
Food was outstanding, great
service in an elegant setting."
Dined on 7/22/2014
My husband and I were celebrating
our 24th wedding anniversary! The dinner was delicious. The service was attentive but not intrusive. The pace of the courses was perfect - not rushed and not slow. The restaurant surprised us with their signature brownie dessert as an anniversary treat. They even wrote 'Happy Anniversary' on the plate using a raspberry coulis. A nice, unexpected surprise. Outstanding restaurant!!"
Dined on 7/22/2014
Not overly impressed needs some
improvement. Service is very good but the food is lacking"
Dined on 7/21/2014
Excellent food - taste and
preparation. Service alos fine. Great spot for a company dinner."
Dined on 7/17/2014
We really enjoyed our lunch. Great
food and great service."
Dined on 7/17/2014
For a Friday night, it was quite
reserved and vacant. Service was acceptable. Waiter missed the "dirty" instruction on the martini, but the pour was generous. I'm not a big eater, but for the price the portion of Veal Portobello was a little scant...more Portobello than Veal. Salad also small, but tasty. Asparagus side dish was served about as plain as possible...7 spears rolling on a small plate and already cold. Parking takes some serious effort in that garage as it's necessary to navigate down (and then back out!) two levels in a tight circle. (I'm not show how anyone in a Suburban can pull it off). My guests enjoyed their meal with no complaints."
Dined on 7/11/2014
My husband and I had wonderful
service in the bar area for a pre-dinner drink and snacks. As always, the service and food in the restaurant were both excellent. He had a salmon special which he couldn't say enough good things about. Then used the free limo service to attend a show at the Benedum. A great evening!"
Dined on 7/8/2014
Can't beat the free limo service
to various events in downtown Pittsburgh."
Dined on 7/7/2014
We visited Pittsburgh for the
Fourth of July Weekend. I read the reviews on Open Table, and gave the Carlton a shot. The food was excellent - especially the Duck (with candied walnuts and cherries (and more)) over pasta. The Dessert Selection was outstanding - I highly recommend the banana cream pie. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive. For taking a chance on a restaurant in another city, it turned out to be a great evening with the family."
Dined on 7/3/2014
Fine dining at its best. Always an
excellent meal & service! Wish there were more shrimp entrees. Love their house salad!"
Dined on 6/30/2014
Have never been disappointed.
It's our Pittsburgh favorite"
Dined on 6/28/2014
The food is not the same old
humdrum you can find anywhere. The servers great and treat you as if you were their only customer."
Dined on 6/27/2014
Dedicated Kevin Joyce and his Team
never disappoint! They can always be counted on for great food and service. For a really special experience, try one of their wine tasting dinners."
Dined on 6/27/2014
The service was excellent, the
food was delicious and we have never been disappointed in the Carleton. The limo was an added advantage."
Dined on 6/21/2014
My wife and I went to the Carlton
to celebrate our wedding anniversary, as we have done many times before. The waiter was very courteous and efficient. This was the first time that we were disappointed. My wife ordered Coconut Shrimp and was disappointed. It had so much panko that she couldn't taste the coconut. I ordered Mahi-Mahi and the breading overpowered the taste of the fish. They used to provide a small loaf of fresh bread, now it's 4 slices of two kinds of bread. The restaurant was also much noisier than previous visits. Apparently, there is now a foreman that supervises the servers behind the wall in their area. He shouted orders that reminded us of a diner-not a classy restaurant where we spent $120.00! ..Disappointing!"
Dined on 6/21/2014
Always great dining, wonderful
menu and great service"
Dined on 6/17/2014
We had a lovely dinner food was so
good I had the steak mashed potatoes and carrots and my husband had the salmon. We also had the chocolate chip cookie and ice cream for dessert ah heaven"
Dined on 6/17/2014
The food is always excellent as
is the wait staff. We've never been disappointed with anything any time we've eaten here."
Dined on 6/16/2014
Like the enigizer bunny, they just
go on and on, outperforming everyone else. The food prep, quality and prices are great. The service impeccable. It is our favorite and most frequented by us for dinner, and I often solo lunch there. It is absolutely one of my top ten on a worldwide basis."
Dined on 6/10/2014
Although the food was good, I
didn't feel the menu adequately described the dish I ordered. Once the restaurant got busier, our service was very slow."
Dined on 6/10/2014
My husband and I have been to The
Carlton 3 times now and each time more better than the last. The manager heard us say to another couple that we were celebrating our 1st anniversary later this month and he bought us a drink. The food for not of the run of the mill, very unique and very delicious."
Dined on 5/31/2014
One of my favorite places to dine
in Pittsburgh. The service is excellent and extremely personable. We are always made to feel like family and special. Food is great and we always leave satisfied. It is easy to get to and parking is not an issue. LOVE IT!"
Dined on 5/31/2014
Attended a special Italian wine
dinner with another couple. Seven award-winning wines were served with ample pours. Each food course was excellent from the swordfish to the wild boar rack to the sweet potato creme brûlée bread pudding. The $109 pp price was deemed good value. This was our 2nd visit to the Carlton in the last week -- this is a classy restaurant with food which is consistently great and an extensive list of wines which are modestly priced. We've celebrated many occasions at The Carlton and will continue to do so."
Dined on 5/30/2014
We have never had anything to
complain about. The food and the service is always superb. We always leave knowing we can't wait to come back. Thank you for always toping off our big celebrations and our for-no-reason date nights to a tee!"
Dined on 5/29/2014
We enjoyed dinner before a concert

good food, great wine list,
excellent service each and every time we visit. never had a bad meal or bad service. everyone should try it."
Dined on 5/24/2014
This place is consistently great.
The food is great, their idea of special is something new and good. A lot of business people hit it for lunch. It's less crowded and romantic in the evening with the lights down"
Dined on 5/20/2014
Having found it difficult to get a
reservation at some of the other "hot" spots in Pittsburgh, we checked on the availability of a table for 4 at The Carlton. We are so glad that we were unable to make a reservation anywhere else after going to The Carlton. Ambiance was great, wine list something out of a fairy tail (6000 bottles available to choose from in a unique variety ways to select from), Michael (our waiter) was extraordinary in every way and the food was scrumptious. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at The Carlton and will definitely return the next time we are in Pittsburgh. "
Dined on 5/17/2014
My wife and I were floored at the
low quality of our dinner on a Friday evening, our first and only visit to this institution. The Carlton seemed to have all the earmarks of a high-quality dining experience, but the food was simply terrible. The portobello salad was blah; the salmon was overcooked and the setup for it was a mishmash of flavors that spelled "bad idea." Even the bread, a dried-out brioche, was nearly inedible from a fine-dining perspective. The impression was that here we have a cook, not a chef, running the show. Bad ingredients plus bad execution couldn't be overcome by a capable and pleasant server or a creditable wine list. I'd run, not walk to McCormick & Schmick's or the Capital Grille the next time. "

Just over a month ago, Robert Griffin III was writhing in pain on the ground at FedEx Field with a torn ACL and LCL. Now, Redskins officials are so encouraged with his recovery that they say he has a "legitimate chance" to line up as the starting quarterback for the 2013 season opener, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Complete Redskins coverage at Hogs Haven
While RGIII still has a long way to go before he is near ready, he has been rehabbing aggressively since undergoing surgery. Despite how early it is in the process, the Redskins are pleased with the progress they've seen from RGIII, who recently returned to Washington to continue his rehab.
Griffin is no stranger to returning from knee injuries. He tore his ACL in 2009 as a college sophomore, but returned to Baylor in 2010 to throw for 3,501 yards and 22 touchdowns as well as run for 635 yards and eight touchdowns. RGIII sprained his LCL in his rookie season with the Redskins and was forced to miss one game before returning to the field. Upon his return, he led the Redskins to the playoffs, but didn't seem to have the explosive speed he had shown earlier in the season.
He then tore his ACL and LCL during the Redskins' playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Muscular dystrophy is a genetic muscle disease. It comes in many forms and can affect adults and children. Though there's no known cure, specialists at Nemours help kids improve their muscle and joint function in order to slow the condition's progress.

EMG (Electromyography)
Electromyography (EMG) measures the response of muscles and nerves to electrical activity. It's used to help determine muscle conditions that might be causing muscle weakness, including muscular dystrophy and nerve disorders.
How Is an EMG Done?
Muscles are stimulated by signals from nerve cells called motor neurons. This stimulation causes electrical activity in the muscle, which in turn causes the muscle to contract or tighten. The muscle contraction itself produces electrical signals.
For the purpose of EMG, a needle electrode is inserted into the muscle (the insertion of the needle might feel similar to an injection). The signal from the muscle is then transmitted from the needle electrode through a wire (or more recently, wirelessly) to a receiver/amplifier, which is connected to a device that displays a readout. The results are either printed on a paper strip or, more commonly, on a computer screen.
What Can an EMG Diagnose?
EMGs help diagnose three kinds of diseases that interfere with normal muscle contraction:
- diseases of the muscle itself (most commonly, muscular dystrophy in children)
- diseases of the neuromuscular junction, which is the connection between a nerve fiber and the muscle it supplies
- diseases "upstream" in nerves and nerve roots (which can be due to either nerve damage or ongoing nerve injury)
When Are Results Ready?
Results are available immediately but a trained medical specialist, usually neurologist, is needed to analyze and interpret them.

It's isn't yellow because of the lemon fruit although this rice dish has both lemon juice and lemon zest. It derives its color from the turmeric added to it. But the flavors are definitely not limited to the turmeric and the lemon. There are many versions and variations of lemon rice, and each has a different combination or ratio of spices. This dish has cardamon seeds, mustard seeds, coriander seeds and kaffir lime leaves. Can you now imagine the aroma and the taste?
Don't be scared by the spices in the ingredients list. They are all sold in better groceries. Even kaffir lime leaves are available in dried form. So, there really is no reason not to try cooking lemon rice. It is such a lovely dish with its earthy aromas, bright color and refreshing flavors. [Read more...]

I applied online and the process took 2 months - interviewed at Raytheon in May 2009.
Interview Details It was on the phone, I was working over sea's and called at 4 AM in the morning. Most of the questions where very to the point and had to do with the job. Then we got in to how I would work out problems that where not part of my area but could from time to time fall in to my work day.
There was 4 managers on the phone, one would be the manager that I would work for if I got the job. Each manager had questions in there area, some very open, some very to the point.
Interview Question – there was a question that was what was the best way for an object to fall, in a line or in a curve? It would depend on what you where looking for the out come to be, was what I said. They never told me if I was correct. Answer Question

I applied through another source and the process took 2 months - interviewed at Raytheon in March 2012.
Interview Details The interview process is straight forward. You interview with serveral managers and group members in a series of scheduled interviews. They give you background info on the company.
there were dinner interviews and lunch interviews. Overall very positive process. They gave us a schedule of our interviews. They allowed us to visit other departments and schedule interviews with them as well. We met several HR reresentatives as well as realtors from various compnaies who showed us arround and told us about the area.
Negotiation Details – The offer an initial ow offer. I refused it. They raised it up several thousand. I accepted. I should have asked for more money. They completer relocate you and your personal items including your car. This is a hassel free process for the most part. The new hire orientation can be difficult though.

Senior Systems Engineer Interview (Positive Experience; Average Interview)
I applied online and the process took 5 days - interviewed at Raytheon in August 2012.
Interview Details The interview process happened very quickly. I was called for an interview on Tuesday and the interview took place on Thursday of that week. The invited approximately 5 other candidates. Food was put out, an overview of the company was given, then we broke off and had 1-on-1 interviews. Most people had 2-3 interviews. It lasted for approximately 2 hours. Decisions were made by Tuesday of the next week. The entire hiring process took about a month. It was a little longer than expected as they were sometimes slow to get back to me. Overall though, it was a good Interview and Hiring experience.
Interview Question – The interviewers all asked what I considered to be fairly standard interview questions. It felt more of a personality interview than a technical one. All three interviews obviously asked me about my technical background and problem solving abilities but for the majority of the interviews they wanted to know about what type of person I am. The teams appeared to be very strong and most likely wanted the candidate to be a good personalty fit as well. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Salary was negotiable but they remained fairly fixed in terms of their starting offer.

Following the surprising announcement that Wanderlei Silva had been removed from his upcoming match-up at UFC 175 against Chael Sonnen, it appears that the reasons behind the sudden switch were with his failure to submit an application to fight in Nevada, and also his unwillingness to subject himself to random drug tests.
MMAFighting.com revealed the news on Wednesday evening.
According to the Nevada State Athletic Commission Executive Director Bob Bennett, Silva had enough time to apply for licensure in the State of Nevada but opted not to do so and was subsequently removed from the fight card.
Additionally, both competitors were to be subjected to random drug tests ahead of their scheduled encounter in July. Sonnen fulfilled his obligation, but it appears that Silva refused to do the same.
Now with Wand out of the fight, Vitor Belfort, who was initially supposed to face Weidman at UFC 173, is likely to take his place on the card. The NSAC had also mentioned that Belfort had applied for licensure in Nevada last week.
The UFC issued the following statement on Wednesday:
"Due to issues related to Wanderlei Silva's licensing in the state of Nevada, the UFC was forced to seek a replacement opponent to face Chael Sonnen at UFC 175 on Saturday, July 5 in Las Vegas. Former UFC champion Vitor Belfort has accepted the fight with Sonnen, subject to Belfort receiving a license to compete from the Nevada Athletic Commission."
UFC 175 takes place July 5, at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Apparently during his physical at the combine an irregularity was detected with his heart:
Star Lotulelei sidelined by heart condition at combine - NFL.com
That could change after his NFL Scouting Combine physical. Lotulelei's agent, Bruce Tollner, told NFL.com's Akbar Gbaja-Biamila on Sunday that the player will not take part in combine drills in Indianapolis after an echocardiogram detected a heart condition.
Tollner said Lotulelei was asked to not participate in workouts until after being able to consult with a specialist. Lotulelei plans to see a specialist later this week and will continue to interview with NFL teams at the combine. Lotulelei anticipates taking part in every test at Utah's pro day March 20, Tollner said. According to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, who first reported the news, Lotulelei's left ventricle is pumping at 44 percent efficiency compared to the normal range of 55 percent to 70 percent.
For his stake I hope it turns out to not be serious.

Oracle saved the biggest news for last at its OpenWorld conference in San Francisco. CEO Larry Ellison took the stage Wednesday afternoon to announce two hardware products developed with Hewlett-Packard that are designed to provide very high performance for data warehousing applications.
Calling them "Oracle's first hardware products," Ellison introduced the HP Oracle Database Machine and the HP Oracle Exadata Storage Server, which are preconfigured server racks including Oracle software and HP ProLiant servers.
[ For more news from Oracle OpenWorld 2008, check out InfoWorld's special report. ]
The Exadata Storage Server includes a dozen disk drives and two quad-core Intel processors that are used to perform database query operations on the storage equipment itself, reducing the amount of data that has to be shuttled back to the database server. This gives a 10-fold performance boost compared to Oracle's current data warehouse products, according to Ellison.
"The storage system itself runs the Oracle database's fast parallel query software, so we took the capability you normally find in the database servers and moved it into the storage server next to each and every disk drive," Ellison said.
"We're taking a tremendous load off the interconnect between the server and the storage grid, returning just the query results instead of whole data blocks. It makes a huge difference," he added.
The storage servers can be ordered separately for use with an existing Oracle data warehouse, or as part of the HP Oracle Database Machine, which includes eight Oracle database servers and 14 Exadata Storage Servers in one rack. The database servers include 64 Intel processor cores, Oracle's business intelligence software and its Real Application Clusters technology.
Each storage server is connected to the database server with two InfiniBand pipes. Each can carry data at 20Gbps, but the speed of the system is limited to the speed of the disk drives, which limit the throughput speed to 1Gbps, Ellison said. The Storage Servers include up to 168TB of storage, he said.
Ever the showman, Ellison chuckled with delight as he stood next to one of the hulking Database Machines on stage. Joking about the storage capacity, he quipped, "This is 1,400 times larger than Apple's largest iPod."
The Linux version of the Database Machine is available immediately, he said, with support for other operating systems to follow. He said the Exadata Storage Server will work with "any Oracle database server," suggesting customers won't have to be using the current 11g version for their data warehouse.
The Database Machine is priced at $4,000 per terabyte of storage, plus the database license costs, Oracle said. The systems can be ordered from Oracle, and Oracle will be responsible for sales and support, while HP will handle the delivery and servicing of the hardware.
As Oracle enters the hardware game, data in the enterprise "is proliferating at astonishingly high rates," Ellison said.
"That creates a fundamental problem. The disk storage systems that are available today ... can store 10, 100TB of data, but they can't move that data off the disks and into the database servers very fast," he said.

A Sri Lankan Parliamentary panel on Saturday found the country's first woman Chief Justice Shirani Bandaranayake guilty on three counts of professional misconduct, a verdict that is likely to pave way for her dismissal.
"We limited our investigation to five counts. Since they were serious enough we did not go into the rest of the nine charges", Nimal Siripala de Silva, a senior Minister said.
He said that the committee "found her guilty on three charges while exonerating her from two charges".
Officials said that the lady chief justice now faces removal from office within a month.
The allegations of financial and professional misconduct against the Chief Justice was levelled by the ruling United People's Freedom Alliance.
Under Parliamentary procedure, if the Chief Justice is found guilty of even one charge, and a majority of the 225-member house votes for her removal, the President can dismiss her.
The ruling party holds two-thirds of the house.
Anura Yapa, another senior Minister who chaired the probe panel said that the panel had interviewed 16 witnesses and 139 documents.
Bandaranayake and her lawyers had on Thursday walked out of the Parliamentary committee meeting calling it unfair.
Later, in a letter to Speaker of Parliament, she offered to subject her to a probe which is free and transparent.
US, European Union and International Committee of Jurists have urged for a transparent investigation.
The move to impeach Bandaranayake came after she scuttled several bills, including one that gave more powers to President Mahinda Rajapakse's brother Basil, the economic development minister.
Opposition committee members hearing the accusations walked out on Friday.

SPEEDWAY — After a rainstorm rolled through and forced Covenant Christian's sectional opener against South Putnam to be postponed from Wednesday night to Thursday, the Warriors had some additional challenges.
Despite these obstacles, Covenant Christian defeated South Putnam 4-3 to advance to the semifinals.
"I thought the effort was a lot better (Wednesday) night, when we jumped on their pitcher early," Covenant coach Andy Gossel said. "When we got it going in the fifth inning, we scored a few times. It's nice to keep surviving and advance to play Cloverdale on Monday."
Before the delay Wednesday, the Warriors got on top of the Eagles early as Zachary Riffle scored from second on a single by Grayson Prather. However, in between the first and second innings, the skies opened up and forced the postponement.
South Putnam bounced back Thursday, with an RBI ground out in the bottom of the fourth to make it 1-1.
However, the Warriors exploded in the fifth inning, scoring three runs. Riffle had an RBI single and Caleb Keehner pushed another run across with an RBI sacrifice fly. Then Prather drove in his second run of the game with an RBI double.
The Eagles scored twice in the bottom of the seventh, adding some excitement to the game but the Warriors were able to hold on for the victory.
Keehner pitched six innings, between the two nights, for the win. He gave up only four hits and one run, while striking out five. Jake LaBounty pitched the seventh inning for the save.
Covenant Christian will battle Cloverdale at 10 a.m. Monday at Speedway.

So, you may be wondering... what about tap water? Homeland Security recommends households keep at least one gallon of water per person per day for three days in case of an emergency. You can use commercially bottled water, but you can simply store your own tap water. FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) recommends storing tap water in clean and rinsed plastic, glass, enameled metal, or fiberglass containers. Once you have filled the container, it should be tightly sealed and stored in a dark, cool location. The water should be rotated out about every six months. It won't necessarily go 'bad', but you may get some algae on the container (gross) and there is a slight risk of bacterial growth after several months of storage.
The recommendation is to discard bottled water within 2 weeks after you open it, but FEMA's recommendation for how long you can keep tap water is really quite a lot longer. Personally, when I store tap water (e.g., for the hurricane season), I only keep it for a couple of weeks to a month. If the water starts to turn green, use it to water your plants or something, clean the container, and refill it with fresh tap water. Similarly, discard the tap water if it develops any other discoloration or has an 'off' odor.

Since all plastic container (PE, PP, Pet, Nalgene etc.) contain mor or less of some plasticicers, which do leek slowly into the water I would prefer glass containers to store water for longer time. And store it in the dark, but not necessarily in the fridge

This reminds me. What do you think of disinfecting fruits & vegetables and other things by spraying with vinegar, then Hydrogen Peroxide, then rinsing?
- August 24, 2011 at 10:06 pm(3) birdie says:
I have plastic bottles filled with my well water that look and taste fine. Have had them for 2-3 years. They are stored in my dog kennel building that has A/C and some heat. The water is for my dogs…what do you think???? OK?

Well water containes diseases
- June 22, 2012 at 12:31 pm(5) eileen says:
I buy the gallon or two gallon ziplock storage bags, fill them with water and freeze. If I need water just thaw. I also use them as cold packs in the cooler, if I need drinking water it's right there. It's a twofer! I change out the bags every spring.
- July 30, 2012 at 12:25 pm(6) Ginger says:
To Bob…and where exactly do you think the water you drink comes from? Or bottled water that says "Spring" water. People don't make water, it all comes from the ground.

I store water in water barrels from Emergency Essentials) (15Gal) and add 2 teaspoons of Clorox to each barrel.Last indefinitely if not opened. The Clorox kills and prevents fungus and disease from forming.
- November 25, 2012 at 1:07 pm(10) Jay says:
I think yankee doodle has the wisest advice. I am not sure of the ratio of bleach to H2O, but it is deriveable. Only problem w/ 15 gallon barrels are they are not so moveable.
My plan – Yes I am currently watching Doomsday Preppers — is to start by filling 2L Soda bottles. I have a water softener and filter to the tap water in my house. Also, I believe in MA – flouride is added to water.
In any case, this is reasonable start. I will also write a "born-on-date- on the bottled water, and cycle it out for cooking, watering, etc every 3-6 months. A milk crate will fit ~ 10 – 2L bottles, so the crate not only offers great storage, transport, and sturdy qualities, but also facilitates both stowing and cycling out – restowing efforts. Thats my 411 at present, still learning

Im gonna bug out one day should i bring water with me?
- March 14, 2013 at 4:57 pm(12) Dante says:
I've read for bleach, it is 1/8th a TSP per gallon of water.
- July 8, 2013 at 4:46 pm(13) robert says:
yankeedoodle got it right, cant store indefinitely if you have big storage containers ratio of bleach to water is, 15gal- 2 teaspoons 55gal-6 teaspoons. rotate or re disinfect every 6 months
- August 14, 2013 at 3:52 pm(14) American-MC says:
We need more water sampling stations here in the U.S. I believe if we have proper testing stations we would know whether or not our water is safe to drink..
- September 7, 2013 at 9:58 am(15) Chad says:
1. Use bleach that does not have an added scent (like lemon).
2. Add 1/8 teaspoon (8 drops or about 0.75 milliliters) of household
liquid bleach to 1 gallon (16 cups) of water.
3. Mix well and wait 30 minutes or more before drinking.
If tap water is cloudy:
1. Use bleach that does not have an added scent (like lemon).
2. Add 1/4 teaspoon (16 drops or 1.5 milliliters) of household liquid
bleach to 1 gallon (16 cups) of water.
3. Mix well and wait 30 minutes or more before drinking.
Remember that containers may need to be sanitized before using them to store safe water:
1. Use bleach that does not have an added scent (like lemon). 2. Add 1 teaspoon (64 drops or 5 milliliters) of household liquid
bleach to 1 quart (32oz, 4 cups, or about 1 liter) of water.
3. Pour this into a clean storage container and shake well, making sure that the solution coats the entire inside of the container.
4. Let sit at least 30 seconds, and then pour out solution.
5. Let air dry OR rinse with clean water that has already been made
safe, if available. This is CDC recommendation, so I would go by this. Oh and the Source for ALL drinking water is not the GROUND, I would research before I say something I wasn't sure about so that it doesn't make me look foolish.

what about city water that's in my hot water tank
- September 25, 2013 at 2:25 pm(17) andrew says:
For all who think well water is unsafe! Drank well water all my life until I bought a house and they forced me to go to city water. Well water can be some of the cleanest water on the planet it is a natural cleaned water. Also store the water in any clean containers glass is nice but not all that easy to come by. I keep 200 gals. of clean water in my basement you can aquire a test kit at any hunting or camping store cheap. I have spent yrs. in the woods drank from streams and rivers and never had snakes or anything else grow inside me. If that concerned then get a test kit and next time you toss a cigarette but out the window of your car remember you are contaminating that same water you need to live.
- October 16, 2013 at 2:44 pm(18) Sherry says:
The problem is that I drank most of the water a while ago. I don't know how long; and I drank a little from it at lunch today. It tasted bitter; and my mouth still has a bitter taste. I am concerned that it may have had bacteria in it that will make me sick.
- November 12, 2013 at 5:24 pm(19) Ed says:
Sherry, did it make you ill or were you ok?
- November 26, 2013 at 1:56 pm(20) Garry says:
I have heard that adding " One Drop " of bleach per gallon of water will kill off any bad bacteria in the water. I am not a chemist, so please do not take my words as gospel. Ingesting bleach can poison you and kill you. I urge you to do you're own investigation on disinfecting drinking water using any form of chemicals. Please check with an expert ! There may be safer ways to disinfect stored water. Be you're own detective and share you're findings.
- December 4, 2013 at 7:30 pm(21) Jeff says:
I did what the original poster said, keep it till it goes green and water the plants.
So it turned green I went to water the plants and then the water main broke outside so I had no water for 3 days.
I ended up having to eat the soil, it didn't taste good but at least it was wet

Thanks annie
Your advice is useful to me…about storage of tap water..
I m from india.where i live have water level problem.
I use to store tap water in bottles for 6 days,i was scared about my health,and about the effect of stored tap water for such a long time on my health..
- May 7, 2014 at 2:46 pm(23) Simon says:
I'm from the uk. I once left freshwater in a 5gallon plastic container in the back of my campervan, after going away for a weekend in it. The area where the water is stored is permanently dark and reasonably cool. The container has a cap screwed tight on it.. Although its not totally airtight, as there is a hole in the middle of the cap for a small plastic pipe that runs through into the water, which is then pumped into the van. I was very surprised a few months later when I went to empty the water, to find that although the water was seemingly clear and clean, there was a thick gloopy, slimey sort of layer, on the pipe that had been resting inside the water tank. I still dont know what caused this, and I would really like to find out.

Friday, February 3, 2012
Dr. David Cushman, Westminster College professor and chair of the Department of Economics and Business, presented "Mankiw vs. DeLong and Krugman on the CEA's Real GDP Forecasts in Early 2009: What Might a Times Series Statistician Have Said Based on ARIMA Techniques?" at the Southern Economic Association annual conference Nov. 19-21 in Washington, D.C.
According to Cushman, in early 2009 three prominent economics bloggers sharply disagreed on whether the incoming Obama administration's optimistic forecast for economic growth was likely to come true.
Greg Mankiw (Harvard) was quite skeptical, while Brad DeLong (University of California-Berkeley) and Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman (Princeton) expressed high confidence in the Obama forecast. Three years later, Mankiw has been proven correct.
Cushman's paper analyzes whether this would have been obvious back in 2009 to a statistician using a standard forecasting technique known as ARIMA. Cushman's conclusion is that the ARIMA forecasts would have supported Mankiw's skepticism and given no support to the optimism of the Obama administration, DeLong, and Krugman.
Cushman, who holds the Captain William McKee Chair of Economics and Business, has been with Westminster since 2005. He earned an undergraduate degree from Stetson University and master's degree and Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University.

Baldock String Violin 1st E Varnished Gut 0.58
Nicholas Baldock's Kathedrale and Antiquus strings are increasingly popular with baroque string players. More information on Baldock strings can be found in the "Strings" link on the left hand side of our website.
Varnishing tends to prolong the life of the string, especially if in a hot and humid environment, and protects the string from perspiration.

Former Zambian President Will Join in Global Village & Discovery Center Grand Opening
AMERICUS, Ga., May 19, 2003–Veteran African statesman and Zambia's world-esteemed founding father Dr. Kenneth David Kaunda will unveil the African homes at Habitat for Humanity International's Global Village & Discovery Center grand opening ceremony in Americus, Ga., on June 7, 2003.
"What impresses me most about Habitat for Humanity is that we build the people, even before we build the houses. We do not build simply with brick and mortar; we build with human hearts. I cannot think of anything more sustainable than that," said Kaunda.
Joining Kaunda at the grand opening will be Pastor Mambo Mkhize and his wife, Zinhle, from Durban, South Africa. They worked alongside former U.S. President Jimmy Carter to build their own Habitat for Humanity home during the Jimmy Carter Work Project 2002, and will return the favor by being present June 7 to bless the house representing South Africa in the Global Village display.
"I feel honored to be invited to America because it is the only way I will fulfill the Godliness in me. Because we all know that our God is a contributor and not a consumer. God is very much concerned about the global needs, not only the local needs," said Mkhize.
An advocate of a strong Christian faith, peace, justice and democracy, Kaunda became the first African president to yield to the people's wish for multi-party elections. He was defeated and handed over power to the newly elected President Frederick Chiluba without hesitation. The first Zambian head of state will join former President Carter and Habitat for Humanity International founder and president Millard Fuller on a special tour of the Global Village & Discovery Center.
Dr Kaunda, 79, a one-time schoolteacher who along with Tanzania's Julius Nyerere and South Africa's Nelson Mandela defined African independence, will later speak about the worldwide need to eliminate poverty housing and the successful efforts of Habitat for Humanity.
Inspired by his experience at the JCWP 2002 in Durban, Kaunda went home determined to instigate a similar attack on poverty housing in Zambia. Based upon the same foundation of community spirit, the Kenneth Kaunda Work Project (KKWP) 2003 was born. This weeklong event, October 6-10, 2003, will highlight the critical work of Habitat for Humanity by constructing decent, affordable houses with 20 families in Lusaka, Zambia. Hundreds of volunteers from diverse backgrounds will come together and join this ambitious effort to eradicate poverty housing in Zambia.
At Habitat for Humanity International's Global Village & Discovery Center [1] opening, visitors will see first-hand the housing transformation that liberates families living in poverty around the world. In the 6-acre attraction, guests travel to the Habitat homes of 15 countries in Africa, Asia and Central America, and participate in hands-on activities such as brick and tile making. The village eventually will expand to 35 houses, including those from Europe and South America, all with different building styles that demonstrate environmentally and culturally appropriate housing.
Guests and visitors will be treated to lots of international foods, children's activities, storytelling and tours. The opening ceremony will also feature international music as well as performances by Atlanta based African Dance Connection.
The Global Village & Discovery Center is a valued addition to the rich cultural, historical and heritage attractions of southwest Georgia. It will feature: five guest areas, including a Visitor Welcome Center; an International Marketplace with Theater, Galleries, Marketplace Store and Exploration Center; a "Living in Poverty" housing exhibit; the Global Village of 35 Habitat houses (15 houses to be completed by opening day); the Experience area where families can learn how to make bricks and tiles; detailed descriptions of how Habitat homes are built globally at costs ranging from $2,900 to $4,300, including a hurricane-resistant stone home in Haiti, a Guatemalan house of concrete and steel, a pressed-earth brick home in Kenya and a wood home on stilts in Papua New Guinea; hosts and guides who describe the lives and customs of families around the world and re-create scenes with guests that include tribal welcomes in Ghana or villager meetings in Fiji; opportunities for visitors to plan a Global Village volunteer vacation to one of 80 countries or to purchase and inscribe a brick for the Donor Recognition Plaza.
Within 20 miles of the Global Village are President Jimmy Carter's home and museum in Plains, the Andersonville National Monument, the National POW Museum and many homes, hotels, churches and other buildings on the National Register of Historic Places. The SAM Shortline excursion train travels a route from Cordele, Ga., to Archery (President Carter's boyhood home) with stops at the Georgia Veterans State Park, the Georgia Rural Telephone Museum in Leslie, the Global Village & Discovery Center in Americus and Plains.
Founded by Millard Fuller and his wife, Linda, in 1976, Habitat for Humanity International is an ecumenical Christian ministry dedicated to eliminating poverty housing. With its affiliates in 3,000-plus communities in 87 nations, Habitat has built more than 125,000 homes with partner families with no-profit, zero-interest mortgages. The new Global Village & Discovery Center attraction is funded separately from the home-building mission through designated gifts and contributions.

Syndicated — The 2012 buying and selling season is well underway and the housing market is finally showing signs of life. Agents are sharing stories of bidding wars in many markets as buyers are getting off the fence, ready to capitalize on still-record low levels of affordability.
So is now really a good time to buy? In many markets yes, and some places are better markets for buyers than others.
Knowing that some people might still be wary of dipping their toes in the real estate market, we looked at the places where it makes a lot of sense to buy if you live there. To determine our Best Places to Buy in 2012 list, we gave equal weight to several factors including:
- housing prices compared to local incomes
- home value trends (where home values have been stabilizing or rising over the past year and past quarter)
- unemployment rates and the change in unemployment rates over the past year
- whether buying makes more sense than renting.
One caveat - just because your city didn't rise to the top of our list doesn't mean you shouldn't buy there. If you're planning to live in your home at least 5-7 years and have good credit, now can be a great time to buy in many markets.
Grand Rapids, MI
Home values are on the upswing in Grand Rapids, increasing on a monthly, quarterly and yearly basis according to Zillow's Home Value Index (ZHVI). Home values are up 4.8 percent from April last year.The median home value is $108,000 which compares favorably with median incomes in the area. The unemployment picture is also improving in Grand Rapids, falling nearly 2 percent this past year.

I understand that the OP has a real dilemma here. His wife bought him a 70-200 and he doesn't want to appear to be an ungrateful lout by leaving it at home, but I would strongly suggest he try to finesse that one. (This, by the way is why I advise everyone to admit to their spouse or significant other that they have at least one "white" lens. Once you admit to owning one, you can sneak in another couple lenses with the same white coating and most non-photographers will never notice the difference, as long as you don't ever let them see both lenses at once. )unfocused....i acutally did LOL when I read this part...so funny.
by the way...I agree with ALL of your advice.

NEWTOWN, Pa., June 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Marquette University Law School won the Law School Admission Council's (LSAC) Fifth Annual Diversity Matters Award for exceptional programming. The award is designed to recognize law school programming that encourages racially and ethnically diverse students to consider law as a career.
The awards were announced at LSAC's Annual Meeting and Educational Conference in Asheville, North Carolina on May 31, 2014. The University of Denver Sturm College of Law earned the second place award, while the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law received the third place award.
The Diversity Matters Award is part of LSAC's DiscoverLaw.org initiative, which supports programs aimed at increasing diversity in law school and the legal profession, where ethnic and racial minorities are often underrepresented. Law schools are encouraged to host events that demonstrate to high school, community college, and early college students why the world does need another lawyer. The Diversity Matters Award is given to the law school that demonstrates the highest level of outreach each year. This year, Marquette was one of two law schools that conducted five events. The school received additional points for the high attendance level at its events, exceptional website promotion, and the number of students who ultimately registered to receive additional information about legal education through DiscoverLaw.org.
According to Kent D. Lollis, LSAC's Executive Director for Diversity Initiatives, "Promoting diversity is a core value of the Law School Admission Council. The percentage of lawyers from racial and ethnic groups is just over 10 percent, which is very low. Marquette law school sponsored outreach programs that were creative, inventive, and reached the largest number of students from diverse backgrounds."
About Law School Admission Council
Law School Admission Council (LSAC) is a nonprofit association of 219 law schools in the US, Canada, and Australia whose mission is to streamline the law school admission process for applicants and law schools. Based in Newtown, PA, LSAC is the sponsor of the Law School Admission Test and myriad services for law schools and their applicants. Website: LSAC.org

We chose Greenock as an easier drive from the Wirral (Cheshire) than fighting the traffic down to a southern port.
On embarkation we parked the car (£7 a night in Greenock) at the port; our luggage disappeared and was next seen in the cabin.
Painless embarkation and we were soon in Cabin 7009 on the Lido (Promenade) Deck. Even larger than 7031 which we had occupied over Xmas.
Cabin immaculate although we took the sensible precaution of using our own Dettol wipes to clean off the surfaces of door handles, remote control etc. Hygiene throughout the ship was first class with hand sprays at all entrances to restaurants and lounges. Sad how some people had to be reminded to use them!
Tissues were even provided to open the public toilet doors on exiting and we were requested not to shake hands with the Captain and ship`s Officers at the receptions. The wiping and cleaning of toilets, handrails etc. was constant As far as I am aware no norovirus during the cruise.
F.Olsen have obviously learned the lesson from past outbreaks.
Food was generally good but by no means first class with all meals plated rather than silver service. The soups excellent but at least four main course dishes on our table of six foul. Steaks either cooked to rubber or oozing blood (medium had been requested), dry turkey and dreadful chicken. However there was plenty of other choices and,spread over sixteen nights, no great problems.
The table waiters were efficient but seemed under pressure and I wonder if the overall number of waiters has been reduced to cut costs?
The ship operates a two sitting lunch and dinner. 6.30pm. is too early for a cruise and 8.30pm slightly too late. We much prefer the one sitting cruise with dining any time between 7.00p.m. and 9.30pm.
The "midnight" buffet actually opens at 11.15pm. and, as we had only recently risen from the dinner table we did not partake. It was however quite amusing to see the stampede of passengers who had perhaps not eaten for four hours and had at least seven hours to go before breakfast!
The entertainment, which is a subjective opinion, was what one would expect on a small ship and went from mediocre to poor. The song and dance group were enthusiastic and that says it all. Two exceptions. The Rosario string trio who played in a lounge but gave a concert in the theatre. The only cruise I have been on where the entertainers received a "standing ovation" They were brilliant with a wonderful mixture of classical, music from the shows and popular music.
Memo to Fred Olsen. "Whatever you pay them double it"
Second the Crew Show. The traditional costumes, dances and singing of the Filipino and Indonesian crew members, male and female, put the "professionals" to shame.
As we sailed from Greenock a large number of Scots on the ship. On formal nights the kilts, trews and ornate jackets of the men made a wonderful splash of colour. We were piped away by a pipe band and welcomed back by a lone piper.
All in all a good cruise and we will certainly sail with Fred Olsen again but perhaps try another ship.

Since taking over as New England's starting signalcaller in 2001, QB Tom Brady has helped transform the Patriots into one of the most successful franchises in the sport.
New England won three Super Bowls from 2001-04, and under the guidance of head coach Bill Belichick, appeared well on their way to becoming one of the most dominant dynasties in NFL history.
But following the '04 campaign, things began to change.
After picking up his third ring, WR David Patten joined the Redskins in '05. His departure was followed by that of WRs David Givens and Deion Branch and TE Christian Fauria the next year. By the '07 season, TE Daniel Graham and FB Patrick Pass were gone, and WR Troy Brown played in just one game.
Sure, the Pats went on to an undefeated regular season that year and have been perennial playoff contenders ever since, but winning the big game hasn't come quite as easy.
Brady's veteran targets were replaced by the likes of WRs Randy Moss, Wes Welker, Jabar Gaffney and TE Ben Watson. While that group may have added some gaudy numbers to their résumés, the Patriots' name has been left off the Lombardi Trophy during their tenure.
But there was a clear changing of the guard in 2010.
Watson's six-year stint in New England came to an end when he signed a three-year deal with the Browns in the offseason, and Moss was shipped to Minnesota four games into the season.
The Patriots didn't skip a beat after trading Moss, replacing him by bringing back Branch, a familiar name from the Super Bowl days. With Moss gone, Welker and Branch became the top two wideouts in New England, but their success was only part of what allowed Brady to have one of the most accurate seasons in NFL history. He got a lot of help from a couple of new weapons.
Rookie TEs Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski proved to be dependable targets in New England all season long. Despite splitting time, both finished the regular season ranked in the top six in receiving yards among rookies, finishing the season with more combined touchdown receptions than any other rookie duo.
Hernandez — who finished the regular season with 45 catches for 563 yards and six TDs — led the way with his athletic ability, becoming the only rookie tight end to reel in multiple catches of 40-plus yards, while Gronkowski established himself as a well-rounded tight end with a knack for catching the ball in the endzone as he completed his first pro season with 42-546-10.
Both played large roles as the Patriots finished the season with an NFL-best 14-2 record, re-establishing the importance of the tight end position in New England.
Falling into place
Both Gronkowski and Hernandez were considered among the most talented tight ends in the 2010 draft, but neither came off the board in the first round.
Gronkowski, who was selected with the tenth pick in the second round (42nd overall), showed how talented he was in his two-year playing career at Arizona. After posting 47-672-10 in '08 and being named a third-team All-American by the Associated Press, Gronkowski had already become the school's career and single-season receiving leader among tight ends. But back surgery kept him out for the entire '09 season, his junior year, causing him to drop out of the first round.
Hernandez had no problems putting up numbers at Florida in '09, as the John Mackey Award winner turned in a 68-850-5 season before declaring for the draft following his junior year.
It was off-the-field issues that got the former Gator in trouble. Hernandez admitted to failing a drug test during his time in Gainesville, sending his draft stock plummeting — he wasn't selected until the fourth round.
"At the time, yeah it mattered, because it's a dream to be a first-rounder and be the first tight end taken," Hernandez told PFW. "But your whole goal is to get to this professional level. I feel blessed just to be drafted. Once you get to the team, that's when it matters and that's when you've got to prove yourself. I just love the game of football, so just being here today is a dream come true."
Hernandez and Gronkowski had become friends during the NFL Combine, but neither expected that the two would become teammates. When it happened, it didn't take long for that bond to continue to grow.
"When we were learning the playbook we were studying together, getting things down together and just helping each other with the routes," Gronkowski said. "We push each other in the weight room, on the field, all the time. I have fun working with him. It's a pleasure to have him on the team."
The rookies weren't the only members of the team that had learning to do.
Veteran TE Alge Crumpler had just arrived in New England after spending the previous two seasons with the Titans. Although the 33-year-old had plenty of NFL experience, Crumpler was faced with revamping his playing style, as his days as a dangerous receiving threat were coming to an end.
As the three tight ends began working together, Crumpler became a mentor-type for the rookies.
"I love working with those guys," Crumpler said. "They're both two young, gifted tight ends. They keep our locker room full of energy. They've grown so much since the first day they've been here. I just really enjoy playing with them."
Immediate impact
It didn't take long for either rookie to leave a lasting impression.
On the Patriots' third offensive play of the season, Brady found Hernandez on a short pass to the left side of the field. Hernandez caught the ball and ran 45 yards before finally being brought down on his first career reception.
Not much else was heard from the Patriots' tight end position until the fourth quarter. With just 7:41 remaining in the game, Gronkowski's first pro catch went for a one-yard score, giving "Gronk" his first of a Patriots rookie record 10 TD catches.
The rookies' strong play forced Belichick to begin throwing to the tight ends more than he ever had in the past. The combined receiving totals of Gronkowski and Hernandez topped the production of Watson's last three seasons combined in New England.
The lack of targets toward the position in the past could have been viewed as a negative by the new group of tight ends, but Gronkowski said they never looked at it as an obstacle.
"We really don't look at trends," he said. "We really don't look at anything in the past. We look to the future now. We control our own roles as tight ends. We're just out there as a tight ends group; everyone is working hard every single day. ... We control our own role by what we do."
While both rookies were effective in their first seasons in New England, it wasn't until the second half of the year that they really turned it on. Seven games in, Hernandez was still without a touchdown, and Gronkowski had accumulated just 101 receiving yards.
Halfway through the season, Pats tight ends coach Brian Ferentz said he expected more production from his rookies.
"Offensively, we're pleased to some extent with the maturation of our young guys," he said. "As always, we expect improvement every week, and certainly this isn't an easy place to play. We demand a lot of all our players, whether they're young or old. I think just as a collective staff, and with all the young guys, we're pleased with the progress, but certainly we're going to expect a lot more out of them down the stretch."
They both answered the call. Hernandez caught six touchdown passes from Week Nine on, even though he missed the final two games with a hip injury. Gronkowski piled up 32-445-7 in the season's final nine games.
Things didn't pan out as expected for New England in the postseason, as the Patriots fell 28-21 to the Jets in the divisional round. But what did come from the game is this: Brady targeted his tight ends 12 times, completing eight passes. When was the last time Brady connected eight or more times with his tight ends in a playoff game? Jan. 19, 2002, the Pats' first postseason win of the Belichick-Brady era.
Building blocks
If the Patriots were looking for a position of strength on offense, they likely found one in their new tight ends.
They recorded more receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns than any other group under Belichick and accounted for half of Brady's touchdown throws in 2010.
"We're really close, closer than I've been with any tight end grouping that I've ever been with," Hernandez said. "Me and Gronkowski met at the Combine and became good friends there and then we come here and actually being able to play together, work together, compete together; we have a real special bond between our tight ends."
When the Patriots won their first Super Bowl following the '01 season, they didn't do it with a lot of big-name, flashy players. TE Jermaine Wiggins was in just his second year with the team, Troy Brown was in his ninth and Patten his fifth.
That team won't be far off from what New England will have to offer in 2011. Both Hernandez and Gronkowski will have a year under their belts; Welker will be entering his fifth season with the team, Branch his sixth.
While no one knows exactly what the future holds for the Patriots, Hernandez said a return to New England's glory days would be the ultimate goal.
"Only time will tell," he said. "All we can do is keep working forward and hope for the best. All I want to do is keep winning and get to the big games, and hopefully make it to the big dance."

Americus, Ga. - Oct. 25, 1999 - The Lions Clubs International Foundation will provide up to $3 million dollars per year for the next three years to build Habitat for Humanity houses with visually impaired and otherwise disabled people.
The Foundation is donating the funds under its "Core Four" grants program, which funds Lions programs for preserving eyesight, combating disability, promoting health and serving youth. Since Helen Keller addressed a Lions convention in 1925, Lions have emphasized serving those who are visually impaired or who have other physical or mental disabilities.
"This grant from Lions Clubs International makes the Lions one of Habitat for Humanity's important partners," said Millard Fuller, founder and president of Habitat for Humanity International. "Because of the Lions' generosity thousands of people in need will soon have decent, affordable shelter."
Through a pilot program, launched at Habitat's 1999 Jimmy Carter Work Project in the Philippines, Lions Clubs International Foundation has already sponsored 19 Habitat houses. Local Lions Clubs and individual club members have long volunteered with Habitat for Humanity, raised funds and served on local boards of Habitat affiliates.
Lions Club leadership is also encouraging the clubs' 1.4 million members to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity.
Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit worldwide, ecumenical Christian organization dedicated to eliminating poverty housing. Habitat for Humanity brings together people with resources and people in need to build simple, decent, affordable houses. The homes are sold to those in need at no profit, through no-interest loans. Founded in 1976 by Millard Fuller along with his wife Linda, Habitat for Humanity has built more than 85,000 houses, providing shelter for more than 425,000 people worldwide. It has affiliates in every state of the United States and in 63 other countries around the world.

Rated 5 out of 5 by drumorgan Great Value I used to wear dress shirts for work every day (for 7 years) and now I just wear them to go out in a suit. I went through a lot of shirts and wore a lot of them out wearing/laundering them. So, I tried a bunch of different brands/styles. For me, these shirts (with their touch of texture) just seemed to hold up better. They feel very nice (I love the slimfit) and they have a cufflink collar, which I prefer. I went to the Outlet and bought one and remembered how much I liked them. Then when I saw them online here for about $16 it was a no brainer. I bought four and will order four more. At that price, I can rotate them and not wear them out. Super deal. May 7, 2014

There are a number of magazines out now with their summer movie previews. The May 3rd issues of "People" and "Rolling Stone" both contain brief mentions of the moive. The May issue of "Premiere" contains a small preview which says in part:
"We redesigned Dumbledore a little bit," Cuaron says. "He is a bit more shabby, a bit more hippie chic." Nobody beats the wiz: Dumbledore's a bit more sprightlier as well. "On the first day, I ran up a flight of stairs and everyone said, 'Dumbledore never runs,' " recalls Gambon. "So I said, "Well, this one obviously does.' "
