Bottle poured into a tulip. Picked this up at Siciliano's in Michigan.
Brown with a slight red tint and a head that is there for a second. Smells like cough syrup and booze. Taste's like more cough syrup some alcohol, artificial fruit, oaky notes that just don't belong. This is awful. body is medium with a decent amount of carbonation. This isn't drinkable at all. I could handle a sip of this and that's about it. Honestly this is one of the worst beers I've ever had. I wouldn't drink this if you paid me never mind the 14 bucks I paid for this bottle.

on tap at grammer's in cincinnati. poured a deep ruby red with a small head that disappeared by the time the bartender poured it and brought it 3 ft over to me.
smell is sweet,some oak.smells like cardboard with some juice poured on it.
taste is incredibly middle of the road.this beer does absolutely nothing for me.really i just get a bit of sweetness,pear skin,cardboard.not much oak.
low level of carbonation,not very drinkable to begin with,but the low level of carbonation is the nail in the coffin .i choked this one down.

In my continuing quest to find a good fruit beer-- I picked up some bottles of this one.
A purpley brown colored beer has some orange/pink highlights and a small toffee colored head. Some spotty chunks of lacing. This beer is much darker looking than I expected. I was picturing more of a light summer day looking brew... This beer is dark and ominous.
The smell reminds me of a purple tootsie pop. Artificial sweetness and synthetic fruit flavor wrapped around a chocolaty base. Slight hint of grape chewable Tylenol too. I am thus far unimpressed. I am also noticing a little prune flavor mixed with grape and pear... The raspberries have fallen into the background and become indistinguishable. This is really muddy and much too busy. I think fruit beers are supposed to be simple by nature. Something to just enjoy. This tastes just like it smells. And that isn't a good thing. I do taste raspberries as well, but none of the flavors really seem to compliment each other. Instead they fight and bicker-- and we are left to suffer for it. I get no contribution from the oak at all. This brew just seems to have missed the mark.
This also seems to be undercarbonated... But the body does seem pretty nice. Light and pleasant.
I'll add that as I drink more of this and it starts to warm up-- it smells 100% like prune juice. And that is absolutely not what I was wanting out of this.
This is simply the worst beer I've had from New Holland, and I'm sorely disappointed. This is part of the "Cellar Series" of beer that they are releasing... Maybe this one needed a "Not ready for consumption until:" date on it.

Received from AleWather (Jeff) in the "invitational" Blind Beer BIF, thanks Jeff.
Poured into a Bellegems Bruin glass. Pours a deep garnet with a very light tan head that drops rather quickly. Some lacing evident, but it doesn't last very long, the lace races down to return to the beer. Maybe that's a good sign.
Aromas of raspberry jam, sugary, red licorise, hints of sourness. Hints of prunes, that gets stronger as it warms. No hop aroma.
Flavors of prunes. Period. Prune juice. Not pleasant. I like prunes, even had prune juice before. Don't much care for in my beer glass. Finish is short, and pruney. Did I mention it tastes like prunes.
Mouthfeel is medium, slightly metallic, decent prickle from the carbonation.
Drinkability? No freaking way. My first drainpour in a long, long time. Don't bother. Use it as a marinade. Kill slugs with it. Just don't drink it.

Presentation: 22 oz bottle with just Vintage 2010 printed on the label. Really a beautiful bottle.
Poured a murky, muddle brown. Not attractive.
The nose was the least offensive part of this beer: ripe fruits, some bitter chocolate
The taste on this beer was absolutely horrid. Rotten fruit mixed with tobacco and cardboard.
Mouth feel didn't help the situation as the carbonation was so low it couldn't pull any of the off-flavors from my tongue.
I hate to say this but this beer was a drain pour. New Holland produces some fantastic beers, this just happens to not be one.

A - dark caramel, pours a medium head that dissipates quickly
S - raspberries knock you back initially with other fruit lingering some malt as well but barely
T - Eep, it was a mix of berries, malt and sour. I was not a fan of the overly sour nature and the malt did not fill the gap
M - Mediocre and it was not as smooth as I expected from something oak aged.
O - It fills the idea of "it sounded like a good idea..."

Pours very deep brown with a one finger white head with decent retention and great lacing.
Smells like fresh raspberries with a little bit of blackberry. Somewhat of an artificial smelling sweetness though.
Flavor has some berry sweetness upfront but really just tastes like prune juice.
Very light mouthfeel and pretty flat increasing the likelihood I'm actually drinking prune juice.
I like the idea, but this one falls considerably short for me. Ends up being too thin and there are a few off flavors here. The prune metallic aftertaste lingers on the tongue which in this case is not a good thing.

Sounded good, but falls down pretty bad. Bottle opened with barely a pop. Aroma of rasperries was immediately all around. Color is a brownish amber. Flavor is at first raspberry, then pear and the oak. The oak doesn't fit at all. Also a weird flat texture in the middle and end. Wouldn't cook with this either. None of us want to finish it.

I picked this up at my local bottle shop not knowing what to expect. It was awful. Drain poured about 14oz of it.
An odd color, brown with hints of brick red. Very little carbonation, an aggressive pour yielded a couple of bubbles with zero head. The aroma is the best part of the beer. The raspberries are very forward. A base beer that reminds me of a Quad or English Barleywine in aroma, very intriguing. The flavor basically craps all over the aroma. Very little Oak character. NONE of the aromas I detected were present in the flavor. Sweet, single note malt bill with an almost embarassing lack of complexity. Raspberries are very faint. Slight brown sugar flavor. Yikes. Not good. The mouthfeel is unimpressive because it's almost flat and very sticky without the full body you'd expect in a beer this sweet at this abv.
The drinkability is very poor. Very sweet. Not something I'd revisit. Pass.

Thanks? to Richard for sharing this one.
A: The pour is a dark amber color with just about no head at all.
S: Lots of overly sweet raspberries and some fake pear aromas as well. There's a mild tart and seedy quality to the nose.
T: Oh goodness, overly ripe (nearly rotting) raspberries with the pears contributing to the cloying nature of the flavor. And just for good measure, a distinct sugary flavor as well.
M: Medium bodied with a low to moderate level of carbonation and a bit of a syrupy feel.
D: This was just not good in any sense. Way too sweet and nothing even resembling balance at all.

Bottle shared with my friend Chris. 2010 model.
Poured a rusty trombone with some big soapy bubbles that pop and fade. Looks like raspberry prune juice if such an amalgamation existed.
Smells heavily of chocolate, prunes, raisins, and boozy dark fruits.
Tastes like oaky prunetastic surprise. Raspberry pokes through with chocolate, dark fruits, and coffee. Back end is mildly tannic.
Mouthfeel is thin and carbonation is a bit funky. I would not reach for this again and the bottle wasn't finished either.

Bottle into red wine glass. I'm not sure if I should actually thank Jeff (Alewatcher) for this one - he sounded almost vengeful when he described it to me.
Pours a pretty dark red-brown, highlights of ruby as the light hits it. No head at all, anywhere, but nice color - not an entirely ugly beer.
Nose is kind of weird. Like plasticized prunes, bit rubbery, and a bit of overly-toasted breadcrust mixed in there as well. Prunes come off as almost rotting at points.
Taste is both better and worse. Promising, bright raspberry tartness almost instantly evaporate into those same rotting prune and bizarrely chalky breadcrust notes. The pears come through really clearly, which is a shame - this one really leads me to believe that pears have no place in beer. The flavor combo is nigh on revolting, ESPECIALLY when combined with the weird, chalky, bready brown ale qualities this one takes on. Raspberries are there in the finish, and I feel like they could almost turn things around with a different base beer, but not this one. I suppose I could say this one was a bit too ambitious, but after reading the bill of ingredients it looks like something a 12 year old would dream up - I can't imagine ANYONE thinking a brown ale with pears and raspberries and a wee bit of tartness would be a good idea. And it isn't. If they had taken out the pears, it would have moved up a notch, I believe, and changing the base beer to something like a golden ale would maybe move it up another. But as it is, blech
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, moderate carbonation. Finish isn't nearly clean enough for my taste. Drinkability is a barefoot walk through broken glass. You're left dwelling on the awful bits endless, losing any promising aspects way too quickly.

Pours like a flat coke. Brown.
Aroma has some rancid, rotten fruit notes (raspberry, red grapes). Alcohol is present. Maybe some wood. Not appealing. It smells like it's trying and failing miserably.
The taste is similar to semi-rotten plums with a certain raspberry sharpness that isn't very welcome. The taste is all over the place and is just a mess. Thin, watery body, low carbonation.
This is a weak offering from an otherwise ok brewery. The label description is misleading and I couldn't recommend this to anyone. Any of it is too much for me.

Purchased 22 ounce bottle directly from New Holland Brewing Company Bar last month. Bottle was of 2011 vintage.
Poured into a tall pilsner glass. Achieved good 1-1/2 finger head with a medium hard pour. Nice amber color.
Smelled sweet and sweet was what I was in the mood for but the taste was sweeter than expected, and taste combinations did not work for me at all. I could taste the oak, but it was overwhelmed by incompatible pear and raspberry. It seemed to have a chocolaty after taste. It was just too much for me and my pallet. I couldn't finish it. I've had sweet beers before that tasted better with age, but I didn't buy two bottles, and I won't buy another one to try it again.

This one pours like a dark grape/cranberry juice concoction with an off white lacing around the glass. It smells of sweet fruity syrups, an odd mix of sweet berries. It tastes of light chocolate malts with a dry and bitter, yet somehow still overly sweet finish. This beer is odd. It's so disjointed. It drinks medium bodied and sticky. There's a lot of sugar. This beer is a mess and odd at that. The chocolate and berries just don't work in unison.

We obviously came out ahead of the Lions in that trade, but I was actually hoping we took Patrick Robinson with our first round pick and was mad when the Saints took him. Turns out Cook was a better pick anyway.
It's fun to look back and the Vikings were definitely the winner of this one. I liked Jahvid Best's potential, but the office was right in their assessment of his injury history. Just another example of our excellent injury evaluation staff.
The grand price of this trade was Everson Griffin. That dude can play!
Could have had the Gronk...
I liked the trade back but... my god... the trade for Toby had to be equally as bad.
2 and 3rd for a back up RB. Mean while Texans took Ben Tate with our pick and could have had Navarro Bowman.
Rewind'12: Jared Allen's playing time - NFC North Blog - ESPNQuote:
The only noticeable change came in the uptick in playing time for backup Everson Griffen, due in part to a shoulder injury that cost Robison one game. Griffen played on more than half of the Vikings' snaps as either a tackle or end, and he actually played more frequently than starting nose tackle Letroy Guion.

CSIRO Scientists' Aquaculture Holy Grail: Fish-Free Prawn Food 116
from the sweet-sweet-prawn dept.
The Novaq formula is a closely guarded secret
Whenever anyone says that the answer is always the same...
Novaq is made out of PEOPLE!
Which really isn't that scandelous, since prawns are crustaceans and very comfortable eating dead matter.
Which really isn't that scandelous, since prawns are crustaceans
Er, Novaq is made out of PRAWNS!
Not quite as impactful though, probably not even to a prawn.
My kingdom for mod points!
Whatever this Novaq thing is, it sure sounds tasty. I say we cut the middle-prawn out, and make Novaq a spreadable condiment for toast.
Come to think of it, Australians already do consume something suspiciously similar. I believe it's called Vegemite.

I wonder if humans fed on Novaq grow 40% faster and are healthier and more robust
Hahaha, pure awesome. Now I'm trying to picture a prawn Charlton Heston.
Hahaha, pure awesome. Now I'm trying to picture a prawn Charlton Heston.
That wouldn't be very impressive. He'd be kind of a shrimp.
...and very comfortable eating dead matter.
Last I checked, pretty much all humans I know are comfortable eating dead matter as well.
Quite so, but very few are really comfortable eating living matter. Yuck!
I always make my gummybears act with made up voices before I eat them. They taste so much better if they seem a bit more alive.
I don't know about you, but everything I eat is dead. Hamburgers, pizza, peanut butter, milk - all dead. None of it alive or moving or anything.
So I'm not sure what your point is about crustaceans.
I don't see a problem.
As long as the people aren't fed on wild fish it should be sustainable.
They gave it up when they said it was made from micro organisms... Its plankton.
aka brine shrimp, but 'Sea Monkey' sounds better.
It might be a freshwater version of the same thing... so not brine... but yeah.
They gave it up when they said it was made from micro organisms... Its plankton.
So Soylent Novaq really is shrimp!
So, instead of harvesting wild fish to feed the farmed fish, we harvest the wild plankton that feed the wild fish that we don't want to kill.
Yes, you eliminate the middleman (middlefish?) but you are farming just the same. Ecologically, you are stomping on the food chain at a lower level which can cause even bigger issues. Lots and lots of things in the ocean (including the ocean bottom itself) feed on plankton.
I think the plankton can be farmed as well and fed on some sort of cultivated feed stock.
You would think so, they're just wee critters, but one gets the feeling from TFA that this is the secret sauce.
As usual, not enough info to go on. Too busy to research it further. It's not raining and my boat needs (more) work.
They gave it up when they said it was made from micro organisms... Its plankton.
It is NOT made of plankton, it's made of dried marine bacteria.
Or mad cows and sheep... what could go wrong?
soylent green is people!!!!!!!
TRAgic that i cannot use the caps for that
The Novaq formula is a closely guarded secret
Whenever anyone says that the answer is always the same...
Novaq is made out of PEOPLE!
Dude, c'mon, that is sooooo 1970's.
It's made out of GMO these days. Get with the times man.
Well, "Prawns" love it.. so maybe it is made from cat food..
See the very first comment (lower your threshold).
I don't eat prawns, so I wouldn't know.
Things get simpler down the food chain. There's less of a complex genome creating over-engineered organs everywhere.
Crustaceans are about as simple as a complex machine can get. They don't require a wide range of stuff to eat, but what they do eat and live in has to be a certain temperature because that's what they've evolved to.
The large farmed prawns that are grown in the same fields as rice are freshwater prawns. Actually most of the large prawns in stores are freshwater prawns, generally grown in pens in rivers in Asia.
Let me guess... you have NO idea about fish nutrition, if you are suggesting that high-fructose corn syrup is used in formulations for fish feeds.
Protip: most of the fish we eat are carnivores, so their tolerance to high-carbohydrate diets is rather low.
See Detroit if you want to start understanding why Republicans are irrelevant to cuts happening.
When you run out of other people's money, things get cut. That's just how life works. Republicans are just trying to ease the shock of a natural effect, but if you want to make it more painful later go right ahead - you aren't the ones prepared for the painful shock. While millions die in cities the Mormons for instance are sitting on a years supply of food for every family in Utah. So they will simply take over the remnants of what is left...
So basically the Republicans are trying to save you from Mormon rule, but you seem to WANT to be ruled by Mormons. I mean they are nice and all but it just doesn't seem appealing to me.
Well, if they have food and we have none, there is only one question that needs answering: Who has more/the bigger guns?
Mormons have a plan. Republicans will just let everyone starve. Seems like an obvious choice.
WTF? you do realise this is an article about Australian research?
There was an interesting piece on Radiolab* last year about some guys who'd found an protein-rich insect whose larva at almost anything, including agricultural waste and pig manure. They reduced the amount of waste that had to be dealt with and result in copious quantities of nutritious bug flesh.
One of the suggested uses was food for farmed fish.
* I think . . . I'm having trouble finding the segment in the archives.
Hell, give me that on a ball of rice with some wasabi, let me dip it in soy, I'll eat it. Google knows that I've eaten worse and stranger, and paid good money for it.
Remember the ribwich? "Think smaller, and more legs."
Black Soldier Flies
This article says Black Soldier flies eat pig manure and agricultural wastes, and are good fish food, and have been known useful for this purpose since the 1990s, though research has continued and some of the research papers were written in the last few years.

Prawns are not Kosher, can't be eaten by Jews. Some say is is because the prawns scavenge.
So Jews cant have a Lobster either.So saw Pig meat by pigs whose feet never touch the ground can be eaten (raised on wood planks).
So maybe now maggot or krill raised prawns will pass a rabbi's blessing and we can finally have seafood on the Easter menu.
The environmentalists will still find a way to hate it, regardless of whether or not it's actually good for the environment.
The feminists will hate it too, because "OMG pr0n!!!1!1!!"
We think of fish is heart healthy, but fin fish don't produce omega-3 fatty acids; they bioaccumulate Omega 3s produced by the algae at the bottom of the food chain. Farm-raised fin fish may or may not have a healthy fat profile based on their diet. Grass fed beef has a healthier fat profile than grain fed beef, as well as containing useful phyotchemical (chemicals from plants) like carotenoids. Same goes for pork; lard from pasture raised pigs is relatively high in mono- and poly-unsaturated fats.
The pattern seems to be that the best thing to feed an animal is something that approximates that species' natural food in the wild. So I'm skeptical of a secret, proprietary, industrially produced feed. It's not necessarily a bad thing, particularly if it's just a matter of skipping a few trophic levels (i.e., feeding the animal something prepared from stuff that's lower on its natural prey's food chain). Aquaculture needs something like that. The world's population demands more seafood than can be wild caught. But I'm not enthusiastic about buying meat from animals raised on mystery food.
It looks like the secret is to feed them vat fed plankton instead of similar or identical species of the wild plankton they normally eat - which was apparently much hard than that sounds. The big deal is it means a more reliable supply.
So is the vat-fed plankton as healthy as the wild stuff? Because if not, then the unhealthy part of that diet will exist in the farmed prawn. Basically take the GPP's argument "Just like food, your food itself is what it eats. " and follow that down the food chain.
So is the vat-fed plankton as healthy as the wild stuff?
Sure, why wouldn't it be? It may well be different. The problem is that plankton is in trouble [uri.edu]. Algae is facing the same challenge.

Well, since nobody knows what is in it, it is hard to say. I suggest a wait-and-see approach, but testing the resulting fish does make sense.
A challenge here is we really don't have a good understanding of what foods are or aren't healthy, or what makes them that way. You can talk about Omega 3s and all that, but there isn't a lot of outcomes data on Omega 3s, when trials are done there are many different kinds of Omega 3s so it is hard to compare them to products you can actually buy, and we have no idea what the Omega 3s are actually doing (though there are theories).
Omega 3s are actually one of the better-understood dietary ingredients - for most other foods we know even less about what is good/bad for you. Oh sure, everybody has their pet theories and there are TONS of advice floating around. The problem is that you can't lock people in cages and feed them controlled diets in a blinded fashion while keeping them from drinking/smoking/etc, so it is really hard to know just what it is that makes people gain weight at some times and lose it at others, and develop diabetes.
A team of CSIRO scientists has discovered the holy grail of aquaculture by developing the world's first fish-free prawn food: According to the article there is intense global interest in Novaq because it solves one of the farmed prawn industry's biggest problems — its reliance on wild fisheries as a core ingredient in prawn food. The Novaq formula is a closely guarded secret, but it is known that the product is based on microscopic marine organisms. Not only will the new feed introduce greater sustainability into a growth industry but prawns fed on the new diet grow 40% faster and are healthier and more robust.
Don't worry prawn farmers, now you'll only be reliant on CSIRO.
Seriously, who green-lighted this advertisement?
Do you even know who the CSIRO [csiro.au] is?
I doubt they will be manufacturing this themselves, just licensing it to others. This is a good thing for Australia given the Axe the prime minister has taken to their budget.
Unless there's a lot of prawn farmers hanging out at
put CSIRO (whoever they may be) in a corner with Mosanto and the like.
Ten seconds on Google would have saved you from making a fool of yourself.
That's the new idea of dice after beta: Slashdot - new for fish farmers
I foresee, they will find cheaper ingredients as time past.,, the hard part is what to call it, "Man made fake shrimp" or plawns a whole new word.
It's replacing wild caught fish that are ground up and used for feed with farm raised plankton that are compressed into pellets.
Two obvious benefits are 1) raising the plankton is much more sustainable than catching wild fish, and 2) the plankton is apparently a better diet for the shrimp.
It wouldn't surprise me if that plankton also makes a good protein supplement for non-marine animals like chickens. Maybe even cut out the middleman/shrimp/chicken and feed it directly to people.
TFA is a little vague about this. It sort of implies that they are raising plankton and that the breakthrough has been basically plankton husbandry. If that is indeed the case, then the ecological footprint of this may be reasonable (we, of course, don't know what it takes to grow plankton on an industrial scale).
If, however, they are actually harvesting wild plankton, and plan on doing this on an industrial scale, then I forsee some problems. Plankton are at the core of the oceans food change. Take a bit enough bite out of that and you've trashed the ocean ecology.
The CSIRO team's first breakthrough was working out how to feed and then farm them.
"They are harvested when they are 40 days old.
Maybe even cut out the middleman/shrimp/chicken and feed it directly to people.
I've eaten plankton and while it is a great supplement, it tastes nothing like shrimp or chicken.
Somebody will have to invent a quality Plankton Burger. (TM)
This is fairly off-topic, but for some reason I am reminded that the Chinese word for "lobster" translates literally as "dragon shrimp".
We too would decrease our rate of growth and be less robust and healthy if we exclusively ate the meat of tigers which have been exclusively fed with people. I'm not sure about that rate of growth and robustness, though.
I've got a better idea than little shrimpies. I say feed the homeless to the hungry. Gets rid of two problems at once!
Sir, I'm afraid your house has termites... Please come with me.
Because a company would never lie about something like that.
They are disgusting, it's the same as eating insects - locusts, cockroaches, etc.
Do you even know why you're NOT vegan? If everybody else in the world was vegan, would you still be insisting that it's 'normal' to eat animal products?
They are disgusting, it's the same as eating insects - locusts, cockroaches, etc.
So they're yummy? deep fried locusts, crickets etc are delicious and much more ecologically sustainable than a vegan diet.
If everybody else in the world was vegan...
But they're not. People are omnivores with big energy and protein requirements, especially when young and growing. Calorie and protein rich foods like meat and seafood are highly desirable components of a human's diet. Deal with it.
If everybody else in the world was vegan, would you still be insisting that it's 'normal' to eat animal products?
Err, no, because it wouldn't be - by definition.
In fact I'm not sure what your point is.
If everybody went around with their face painted blue and said "I've traveled from 1983 to say this" before every sentence, that would be normal. But it wouldn't make it a good idea.
Perhaps your saying that 'normal' isn't the same thing as 'natural', but since societies where the unnatural (painting your face blue) is normal are the exceptions, it's a good approximation to it.
This isn't a good argument for veganism, because most societies throughout most of history have eaten meat. So meat eating is normal and therefore likely natural.
Another possibility is that you don't know the meaning of the word 'normal' and think it actually means 'natural'. In the west that level of ignorance is
Maybe he meant orthogonal.
If everybody else in the world was vegan, would you still be insisting that it's 'normal' to eat animal products?
Yes, because our teeth are designed to chew meat and our body is evolved to process animal protein.
If you want me to eat something, you have to tell me exactly what it is, and how it was grown; If it's something from the animal kingdom then I want to know what you're feeding them, and how they're raised. We require ingredients lists on our other food products too. Before you cook shrimp or prawn you have to remove their "sand vein" AKA their digestive tract AKA their shit tube -- Guess what's in there? What they last ate. Some of that shit gets into what I eat. Now their job is to convince me that none of the "marine micro-organisms" in Novaq are harmful, and are free of things like, say, marine flesh eating bacteria...
All the food I eat I've grown myself, or gotten from the farmer's market from local farmers who's farm I have visited, or at the very least it has all of the ingredients listed. I only have one life, and I should have the information available to make an informed decision about what I fuel myself with, and the cost to the environment that I am a part of. That information includes how and where things are fished, hunted, farmed, etc. This extends to other purchases too. Eg: I'd only buy lab-grown diamonds to ensure I'm not supporting the blood-diamond trade. Electronics are often made in shitty conditions too. Just like it was unfortunate but necessary to use proprietary Unixes to make GNU/Linux, it is unfortunate that I must purchase hardware made under pitiful working conditions. When I do so I buy the fastest and most upgradeable hardware available so as to mitigate the frequency of my hardware purchases. Retired hardware goes to into the server rack or my home-grown cloud cluster that serves all my AV storage, display and streaming needs. What is decommissioned gets recycled, just like all the packaging I buy. I do the same with food waste via compost pile for my own garden.
It's more expensive to eat free-range chickens which keep the bugs out of the pesticide free garden, but they produce tastier eggs and taste better themselves (yes, I've done double blind taste tests, For Science!). It's usually more expensive, but sometimes it can be cheaper, to go in with a few friends or family on beef from a mobile butcher and have it cut however we like from a cow of our choice at a local farm. I understand that not everyone can afford to eat the way I do. However, if I can afford to eat better or healthier or in a way that enriches the local community or ecosystem then I do so.
I don't eat pesticide or herbicide. It is not necessary to do so. Contrary to popular belief, these poisons have not been tested for safety on animals, humans, or the ecosystem. Seriously, the chemicals they test on animals and humans are then added to other "stabilizing" or "inactive" chemicals prior to use in the field and the end result does change the properties of the pesticides and herbicides, they become more deadly, and the end result has not been tested on animals or humans. I also don't take drugs that have been on the market for less than 10 years (thus has 20-25 years of testing). Did you believe Tobacco farming corporations when they valued profit over people and said smoking is good for you, or when they said it wasn't harmful for decades? Why would you believe chemical making corporations then? I don't eat plants covered in poison (or that produce poison internally that kills critters we need for our ecosystem), I don't eat meat that eats such poison or that is sick or raised on feed that is a "closely guarded secret". I don't feed my family milk that has growth hormones either.
Did you know you can leave seeds in the sun to accelerate mutations for the test crops you select against to produce better yield while preserving genetic diversity rather than use a corporation's mono-culture which nature simply adapts to? You see, "exposing plants to UV light" isn't patentable and doesn't yield patentable produce. It's true that without poisons bugs will eat some of the plants. The portion of a crop that nature reclaims is the cost of doing business in her neck o
If you want me to eat something, you have to tell me exactly what it is.
Like an old girlfriend of mine said, "I ain't gonna put anything in my mouth what I don't know where it's been."
You must be fun at potlucks.
Imagine trillions of years from now on a planet far-far away, some technician named Vort assembling computer subroutines from a small number of libraries (known as the Legacy code) that dropped from a space probe billions of years before he was born.
Vort's creating "organic" software to get one of his jobs done, one that's just like Vort's ancestors created using these well-known components that always seemed to do the job. It's really expensive to assemble components this way because the Legacy codes are very inefficient, and you need to string together lots of calls to get all the requirements you need for the job, but it's known to be a sustainable process and even if nobody understands it, Legacy code doesn't have any "secret ingredients".
Back a few decades ago, Vort recalls there where two movements that tried to change the way code was assembled to get a job done:
One was to actually modify software to have it do what you wanted it to do, but the purveyors of this black magic were evil companies that wanted to keep these modifications to themselves and you could never be sure what type of modification they made or what side effects they had.
The other group was called the Open movement which wrote all new code free of the original Legacy libraries, but offered them to everyone so that they could see for themselves. Sadly although there were many experts among the Open group, normal users of open code did not have the expertise to validate the new code so it was just as mysterious as the Legacy code. Contrary to popular belief, the new open code has been used at most less than 10 years (meaning tested less than 25 years), the Legacy code has been tested for 1000's of years...
Nope, Vort, will continue to use the original Legacy code. None of that modified code for Vort, also, none of that open code created from scratch. Vort would continue to use Legacy code...
FTFY, you may be an OPEN code advocate, but you are a LEGACY food advocate, not an OPEN food advocate.
prawns fed on the new diet grow 40% faster and are healthier and more robust.
Look similar to the the claims for the rations given to cows, while their meat is not the healthier one [mayoclinic.org]. When the ultimate metric is rate of production instead of quality (specially if have health consequences) a lot of consumers will be harmed.

Kim Kardashian is going to shell out some serious dough so she can keep her MASSIVE engagement ring ... and TMZ has learned, the cash is all going to Kris Humphries.
Sources close to the former couple tell us ... it was Kris who originally bought the 20.5 carat diamond stunner ... and Kim loved the ring so much, she included a clause in the pre-nup which allows her to buy the ring from Kris for the original purchase price in the case of a divorce.
Ironically, without a special clause in the prenup, Kim would have been the proud owner outright, because once they became man and wife, the ring would have been Kim's.
Since the couple is now kaput -- the diamond is in Kim's court. We're told KK still LOVES the ring -- and will pay Kris so she can keep it.
As far as price goes -- Kim never disclosed how much Kris plunked down, but according to multiple reports, it's valued around $2 mil.
This is more and more sickening by the moment. Having just divorced after 10 years, much counseling, crying, and trying to make it work...the rings were so heavy on my fingers..heavy in the sense that all they could do was remind me of failure. Failure to keep the 10 year marriage together. He didn't want the rings, nor did I, so they promptly went to the local jewelry store to cash in on the gold craze...didn't get much, just enough to make payments on joint credit cards and the like. What is she going to do with the rings? Put them on ebay? Collect them like Liz Taylor? The rings should be sold and the money given to the people that spent money on hotel, air fare and the like to attend this sham of a wedding. Or better yet, give the money to a domestic violence shelter or to starving children right here in this country. Of all this bunch, the one that makes me gag the most is the Mother. Who goes out partying with their grown children? Who wants her there in the first place? She is a classic example of a mid life crisis woman living her life thru her daughters. The last time I watched that show and never watched again...she was presenting Bruce Kardashian with a huge photo of her naked, wrapped only in an American flag. That was it for me. Gag. What a horrible example for those younger girls. She is nothing more than a pimp mom, and she is going to get even richer pimping the 2 younger ones out. I hope they all become ugly old hags. That fat butt of hers is bound to sag eventually. Oh, that will be yet another episode, getting the fat sucked out of her. What's next for this bunch of liars? I hope that her "fans" stop buying the cheap crap they sell and I hope Mom's make their daughters turn this crap off. Do you really want your little girls to grown up to be this stupid?
How incredibly tacky of her to ever wear it. Of course, she has no real class.
Mama Kris did a lousy job as spin doctor, first saying Kris H. was an indian giver, now saying the ring is only worth half as 1st reported so that people will say Kris H. was cheap & only spent $1 mil? Woman shut up. Your daughter is looking like a big enough idiot as it is without your help.
There aren't enough Ka$hdashians to mark dislike on comments to make a difference.
She needs to pay him more than that. She's has a made a mockery out on the institution of marriage and has humiliated Kris humphries and his family. But, I don't believe some of these leaks... But he should be paid out for many reasons... I really hope he can write a tell all book and doesn't have a clause in the agreement that he can't talk about anything. I hope he takes her for all she is worth for the way that she has suckered him and all of her viewers and fans... Stupid fame whore!!!
She's a doucebag....f!cking skank. Ya pay him back and give him his gifts too...also apologies to him and stfu.
We are not fans we all pay a Kardashian tax. E is giving the money generated by the ads, even no*****ching the show and not fan at ALL we pay our product more. When the taxman is going to find out of Kris Jenner hidden money.
I stoped watching the show since the season2 but i m paying a Kardashian tax. The money generated by the ads are been paid by everyone, E pay the Kardashian from the ads, it means Im paying more my shopping. When the taxman is going to find out about were is Kris Jenner Hidden money.
He should consider himself lucky and count the losses. I am so sick of hearing about the Kardashians---I wish they would just stay out of the limelight at least until after the holidays and give the media and all of us a break from this gold digging family.
Who includes that in their prenup?
Kim is a filthy liar
How many women who are MADLY IN LOVE write a clause like that? That duplicist bioche. It was a scam on the world. Pretend wedding like a 5 year would do and having milllions believe she met her Prince. I will be very disappointed if her Facebook page isn't down to the thousands instead of millions.....why continue to make her rich...UNLIKE FACEBOOK AND TWITTER IMMEDIATELY.
An interesting story here, is how the US taxpayer was ripped off. Did these people take tax deductions on their tax returns for the cost of this nonsense based on the position that their antics are tax deductible?
If that is true and it goes public, we are going to have another angry mob akin to the one against Wall Street!
KarTRA$Hians Good one....
don't believe humphries was in on this scam of a marriage. if that were the case they would have had humphries filing the divorce papers,kim gets to play the victim again,her fans,viewers and the public would all feel sorry for her,humphries takes the pay off money and goes away,kim goes on with her show ratings go up,pushing and selling the kardasdian merchandise making even more money than before.and everyone lives happier and richer ever after. though i do believe kim was scouting for someone she could marry on the show for profit and discard whenever she chose to.
Kim, if you and your family claim your issue lies in being "in love with being in love" then spend your money where it will be best put to use, THERAPY. Give back the ring, and spend some $ on a charity close to your heart,volunteer your time in a selfless manner.
Didnt this ho 'ANNOUNCE' she was going into hiding just after she 'ANNOUNCED' she was banning the drama from E?
So why is this ho in hiding still selling stories? Too greedy to let one dime get by

He Shave's My HeadHi there, i am a sub/slave to my H, about every 2-3 yrs he shaves my hair completly of my head and keeps me bald for a year, his group says that it is one of the most erotic things they have seen especially when i alway have to be totally fre from all other body hair, i get a total body wax every week for them, its been going on for years, its just another way of playing games with his sub.
I would love to see a photo of you totally bald
He lets you grow your hair out to about a foot or foot and a half, then shaves you bald again AND a total body wax! He does this all in front of his group? What kind of group is this? Sounds a bit kinky. That having it done and doing it to you in private is erotic, I get that. Does he bid you around to other members of his group to perform the denudation process?
Most importantly, being the center of attention, do YOU find it erotic?
Do they all *** over your shaven head?. I saw that in a **** video once and found it incredibly horny.
Nothing wrong with that
wow, you are lucky to have found a man who will shave you. Im still looking.
I will shave you!
I will!
I want bf to shave my head but he won't....
Is he nuts??!! I'd shave you in a heartbeat if you were mine :)
I will!
your husband is very lucky,do you like being bald,and would you stay that way if he asked
I FEEL BAD FOR YOU IF YOU DON'T LIKE Being BALD! YOU MUST BE A GOOD PERSON TO GO ALONG With IT I FIND IT SOMEWHAT SEXY,Hope you can too,good luck

Strong company earnings boosted stocks on Wall Street Friday. Investors also saw a chance to add to their holdings after declines earlier in the week.
Stocks rise on Wall Street aided by earnings
Nike reported a surge in profit, sending its stock price to a record. Tiffany topped earnings predictions, boosted by demand from customers in Asia.
A strong run-up in stocks this year is encouraging investors to buy whenever the market dips, says Ron Florance, managing director of investment strategy at Wells Fargo Private Bank.
"We still have an astonishing amount of money sitting on the sidelines," says Florance.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 90.54 points, or 0.6 percent, to 14,512.03 Friday. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 11.09 points, or 0.7 percent, to 1,556.89. The Nasdaq composite gained 22.40 points, or 0.7 percent, to 3,245.
Nike's stock hit an all-time high, rising 11 percent to $59.53 after the company reported a spike in quarterly profit. Tiffany's stock rose nearly 2 percent to $69.23 after it reported strong earnings.
Despite Friday's gains, the S&P 500 was down for the week, falling seven points, or 0.3 percent. The index was weighed down by another debt crisis in Europe and disappointing corporate news.
The Dow had its worst week in more than a month, shedding a fraction of a percentage point.
The markets got hit on several fronts.
The Mediterranean island nation of Cyprus, a banking haven, struggled to devise a plan to avoid financial collapse.
Oracle reported weak sales. FedEx, a bellwether for the economy, posted a drop in quarterly profit and cut its annual earnings forecast.
As a result, the S&P 500 logged only its second weekly decline of the year. The first came the week of Feb. 22, when investors were spooked by the minutes from a Federal Reserve policy meeting. The minutes revealed disagreement over how long to keep buying bonds in an effort to boost the economy.

AS A podiatrist, Dr. Maasi J. Smith knows a whole lot about scary - gangrenous cysts, bulging bunions, hammertoes so pronounced that they need surgery, icky fungal conditions and worse.
Not much freaks him out. He's cool, calm and unflappable, which I suspect is why he's attracted to the horror genre. Smith recently came out with the revised edition of his self-published suspense novel, Mischiefmakers.
It's an eerie tale about a young woman in Newark who's caught between reality and some sinister place. I picked it up recently and found that you don't have to flip that many pages before the characters are screaming in terror and a creepy voice shouts out, "I am the dragon whose angels shall descend upon your flesh like locusts. Lord of the black mass, I am vengeance and indulgence. I am undefiled wisdom, author of the black book! You mean nothing to me, animal, do not speak to me, ever, die!"

" Mark Taylor is the man! He knows an awful lot. He should its his company. All the staff here know what they're doing and are good at what they do. I had a broken tail light and popped in here. Within minutes and for only a few $ it was fixed. The previous time i had a leak from my air con. I was a bit worried it was going to be a big expensive job. a quick investiagation proved it wasn't anything big at all. Voila fixed! Taylors is my first point of call for any electrical issues in my car. It should be yours too. They do servicings and much much more as well."

"Spent quite a bit of money here and although they did a relatively good job I probably won't go back. I thought they were a bit over priced when I compared them to other suppliers and when they did something wrong although they fixed it up it was very begrudgingly and made me feel quite awkward. Nothing wrong with the product I have though and I dont want to detour others"

Heavy Pistol is a weapon in Saints Row IV.
- The handgun of choice for any Saint.
- — Weapon Description [7]
There are 4 costumes for the Heavy Pistol in the base game: .45 Fletcher, Cumia Magnum, DEK-RD Railpistol and The Captain. An additional costume, the Flintlock, is available in the Pirate's Booty Pack DLC.
Clip Size, Damage, Rate of Fire and Recoil can all be upgraded 5 levels each, with a separate Explosive Ammo "ultimate upgrade".[8]
In comparison to the Quickshot Pistol, the Heavy Pistol exchanges rate of fire, magazine capacity and reload speed for greatly increased damage, regardless of the Quickshot Pistol's Damage upgrade, which gives the Heavy Pistol the advantage in terms of ammo conservation. The Alien Pistol performs similarly to the Heavy Pistol terms of performance but the Heavy Pistol has the advantages/disadvantages of using magazines.
Though descended from Saints Row The Third's 45 Shepherd, the Heavy Pistol has a slower default rate of fire and does literally 2/3rds the damage. The Explosive Ammo upgrade also has a less intense ragdoll force compared to the original, making it more difficult to "juggle" enemies. Despite this, at full upgrade the Heavy Pistol does more damage per shot than a fully upgraded Shepherd.
The Heavy Pistol is automatically equipped during The Saints Wing, and is added to the Weapons Cache.
Saints recruited off the street are equipped with one if Upgrades are not purchased to give them better weapons.
Weapon BreakdownEdit
- Explosive rounds upgrade can stun targets, send them flying and can possibly hit multiple targets if tightly packed
- Consumes ammo at a slower rate than the Quickshot Pistol
- Dual-wield upgrades makes these pistols versatile
- More powerful than the Quickshot Pistol
- Heavy recoil without Recoil upgrades
- Slow firing without Rate of Fire upgrades
- Smaller Clip Size than the Quickshot Pistol

Trivia Edit
- The Captain is based on the pistol used by Captain Malcolm Reynolds in Firefly, and the quotes are references to the series.
- The DEK-RD Railpistol is based on the gun used by Rick Deckard in Blade Runner, and the name and quotes are references to the film.
- The "Bloody Mess" skin is a reference to the Bloody Mess perk/trait from the Fallout series, which features a .223 pistol being similar to the DEK-RD Railpistol.
- The .45 Fletcher is based on the GDHC .50, which is based off the Magnum Research Desert Eagle.
- The .45 Fletcher also has a Picatinny rail along the barrel, a feature of current production Mark XIX Desert Eagles and barrels.
- The .45 Fletcher was first revealed in the PAX gameplay demo.[21]
- The Cumia Magnum is based on the Chiappa Rhino 60DS. The gun is named after radio host Anthony Cumia from the Opie and Anthony show. Mr.Cumia is known on the show for his love of guns and large collection of them.
- The Heavy Pistol is used by The Protagonist in many cutscenes in Saints Row IV.[1][2][3][4]
- The "45" in the .45 Fletcher's name means it fires the .45 ACP round, or possibly the .45 GAP, though given its connection to both the .44 Shepherd and 45 Shepherd it terms of raw power, it's more likely chambered in .45 Winchester Magnum.

Call for Yellow The story of how I met Penny is short, very short. We actually met in a yellow field near my owner's barn. I found her trying to sneak into the grain and stopped her, but she wouldn't leave after I told her she couldn't have any. No, Penny was much more stubborn. She stayed around the whole day,and for most of the night. By the time the sun started to rise, she turned to me and told me her name. At the time, I thought it was strange. Whywould a border collie need to know a mouse's name? She then went on to tell me she could not find food anywhere around here besides these bags of grain my owner barely used. Something was different about her, I could tell. So, I then allowed her to go and take as much as she could carry. I'm glad I did, or I wouldn't have the story of Penny. Not how we met, but just Penny. From the day I gave her grain, and on, we started to talk more and more. I could tell she was sad, because there were a few moments where she would break away from the
Definitely Alive Chapter TwoDefinitely AliveAt around dawn, Vicky stirred to see that Sidney was still awake, staring out at the city as the sun rose nearby it seemed. She sat up a little, clamoring off of Sidney and back to laying against the wall. Disturbing her from her thoughts, Sidney watched as Vicky awoke and sat up. The child's eyes were glazed over and still tired, but it seemed she often got this much sleep anyways. She started rubbing Vicky's back again gently, making sure she was ok. All alone. Both of them with no strings attached anywhere nearby or at all maybe."I'm sorry about your Town Vicky, I really, really am." Vicky looked up and smiled sadly at the crazy woman's kind words, "So, eight years old and walking around the country all on your own? Pretty brave if you ask me." Vicky tilted her head slightly, remembering the night before."I never told you how old I am." Sidney sat up straighter and smiled."Lucky guess." Sidney scoffed, grinning. Vicky shrugged and turned b
AWAKE Chapter 1AwakeAwake. She was awake, but she couldn't recall what had happened to her before. Yes, she was a Time Lord- or Lady. She was from Galifray, six years old when she left. It felt like a century since she was sent away secretly; actually a century and three years to be more exact. At a hundred and nine you'd think she'd be considered pretty old, but she was terribly young for what possibilities she could have for a long, long time. Even with her age, she only looked about 19 the last time she checked.As she sat up, the girl clutched her throbbing head, wincing in the pain. The farthest back she could remember was spiraling through the deep emptiness that was space at the edge on the universe. It seemed like a deep sleep now, but she could clearly remember her parent's faces as she was hidden in a time capsule- or at least what she thought was a time capsule. A horrible time war had raged the realities as they knew it, but for some reason she was sent away. Her
The Hidden Lantern:. Chapter 6Chapter 6 ''On an island, singled from the rest, upon this hill of earth, there in the top-most spot, a cave shows itself only to the needed of heart,and hides away from the others. There in that cave, thy answers seek. Upon the doorway into the caverns, hangs but a single light ofhope, and farwell. The cave of the Hidden Lantern.'' The island flashed in her head, leading up a path of stones. It was a lush and beautiful island, but most was hidden for it was the darkof the night in her mind. The world around her seemed to be dim, yet there, at the top of this mountainous hill, a single light flashed.In the light a shadow figure passed into it, hidden by the light if possible. It's arms opened into a warm embrace, but her olive eyesfluttered open before she met with it. Gasping for air, Carmen shot up, looking around. It had all been a dream, but it felt so real; thecold of the night, the hardened ground below, the smells of the jungle lush, even salty taste of the sea nearby.
From Panels to Pages: Hook, Line and SinkerThere are some days where life throws you something totally unexpected that takes you out of the daily routine. I've noticed these changes can oftentimes be little adventures in and of themselves, wonderful little side stories to our "normal" walks.Then again, living in a home full of Pokémon means that "normal" is usually anything but. So on a sunny Wednesday morning, another of life's little twists and turns came to trip me up.Or rather, the twisting, turning tip of my dear Arbok's tail was what tripped me up.I really should've learned by now that the long corridors of the Manor are the most likely spots for Arbok or my other serpentine Pokémon pals to ambush me! It's in their nature, after all; scouting out places to surprise their marks, which are most of the time all me. Within seconds of the toe of my shoe bumping into the purple appendage sticking out of the side storage room, she'd curled her tail all the way up my leg."WHOA! What the--?"My surprise took away any
The Shadow Game - Mai Valentine TG (Request)Paul was an avid Yu-Gi-Oh! player. He considered himself pretty good at it. He often won local tournaments and played online quite a bit. He was online playing against some other players like he usually was. He came across a certain player, asking him to play a "shadow game." Paul assumed the guy was just joking, and said "Sure." to him. Nothing was different from any other game. Paul was getting a bit upset, as he kept on getting poor cards and was just generally unlucky. Paul lost the match and was left with a short chat before he disconnected. "Well you lost, and this was a shadow game. Although, the punishment for losing is, let's say, a bit more fun." the opponent said before leaving the lobby. Paul sat at his desk for a moment, taking it in. He assumed it was nothing to worry about, but was still curious why his opponent talked the way he did. Before he could continue, Paul felt a strange feeling surround his body.Paul's hair grew greatly as it reached down to his back, turning
Tauric Gas"Phew…I thought that game was never going to end!" Phil said as he took off his football helmet, wiping the sweat from his brow. What started as a simple match against a rival team had ended up going into overtime due to tough defense and blocking, and eventually it was a touchdown scored by Phil that won it for his team. On top of that, Phil managed to get through the game without spontaneously transforming into his anthropomorphic eagle form. It had become sort of a 'secret weapon' for his team, but at the same time, he didn't want to fork out more money to pay for replacement clothing. However, he didn't have any clue that by the end of the day, he'd never have to deal with that problem ever again."And now that the game's finished, I should really get to work!" Phil said as he placed his helmet in his locker, deciding to skip showering until later on. Normally he'd shower as soon as a game had finished, but con

Mythia's Melon Gum ResearchMythia and Herb are lab partners who love working together as a team. Herb has a knack to test drink any potions before it can be available for public use.Today, Mythia and Herb are conducting research on creating a special flavored gum that are different from any other common gum people can buy in stores or gas stations. They gathered up all the required ingredients including a fresh green watermelon to get it's flavor."Mix them all together and this watermelon gum should be ready to go," Mythia said checking to make sure all systems can go."Right on it, Miss Celtil," Herb said and mixed the ingredients as if she was stirring whipped cream icing on a cake.The machine began making noises like what would you hear in a factory and processed all the ingredients and then finally after the procedure, two pieces of gum were finally made. They were green colored strips that look sweet like a bubble gum flavored gum.Herb grabbed the two strips and shared one with Mythia. The duo felt acco
How I claimed Amy Rose pt. 05How I claimed Amy RoseA narrative through the eyes of Shadow the Hedgehog---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I teleported away and into the police station since I had to do some worthless paper work and some other boring and tedious tasks. I walked up to the chief and he pointed me in the direction of where I needed to go and I walked up to an officers desk. It was the same officer that thanked me when I busted the car."Hi there.... Again....." I said as I crossed my arms.She jumped up and saluted me, saying, "Oh it's you! My name is officer Nikita-"I cut her off by raising my hand,"Let me first say, I hate formalities... Not because I'm not interested in meeting others, it just believe they are a huge waste of time....She slightly relaxed and responded with, "Yes sir, sorry sir..."I never got a good look at her the first time, but I see that she's an anthro dark husky, 5' 10", short black hair with white highlights, her
Downfall, part 4Watching the black and white warrior take a defensive stance spoke thousands of words to the battle seasoned leader that Cinderstar was. Her stance is full of openings and she smells like fear and anger. This is not a trained warrior, if she's even a warrior at all, She noted. Her nose wrinkled at the small queen's words."You call this safe? This kit has brought nothing but war to this Clan. No, not a kit, not even a kit would be foolish enough to attack two of it's closest allies unprovoked. I don't even have the words to describe this joke of a leader." Cinderstar lashed her tail in fury. "But i am moved that you still choose to stand for him. Any member of a Clan, warrior or not, could learn from one such as yourself in the lesson of loyalty."Still in her battling position, Cinderstar bounced slightly on her legs, feeling pumped up now. "Come at me then, I will give you a fair fight." the orange leader spoke earnestly, passion glinting in her
Story For Bram A cool breeze blew over her hazel fur, making her stir. She stood up, smiling and stretching, and opened her blueand seafoam green eyes. "Hey Bram.." said a soft voice next to Bram. "Hey Robin!" Bram said with a cheerful tone,not a thing showing as usual. "I was just seeing how you were doing.." Robin said, in a sad, worn-out tone. Bramtilted her head to the side, "I'm fine! How are.. you doing..?" Robin sighed and slumped to the forest floor. "Nuthin'.just the usual sad mood that comes on sometimes... I'll get over it." Bram nuzzled her friend's side, her eyes floodingwith a happy, innocent gleam. "Ok Robin. If you ever want to talk I'm here!" the brown tabby said, rolling over on herback, her head leaning against Robin's side. "How come your always so cheerful Bram? I know not a lot happens to you, but you always seem so positive.. theremust be a time where your sad?" Bram paused for a second thinking, then sighed in a unusual way. "I do get

Injuries at the critical years of development really hurt Cuma. He almost played his way onto our team as an 18 year old in 08-09. He was set to make team Canada at the WJC but an injury in camp cost him that chance. He came back a lesser player, evident that he couldn't crack the WJC team the next season. Another injury last year. If not for the knee injury late 2008(pre-WJC), he's in his 2nd/3rd season in the NHL(IMO). Set him back significantly, and he hasn't been able to recover. There's still hope but nearly 2 years into his pro career without getting a look is worrisome, especially with our defense and the injuries that forced an emergency signing of a teammate(Fredheim) over recalling him.
Why was Scandella drafted late in the 2nd? Well, he was a couple years removed from being an undersized forward, and only had 1 season of experience in the Q on a weak team.
