Medicare is a completely federal social insurance program that entitles eligible persons to coverage for a defined set of benefits, including certain immunizations.21 All Medicare-eligible individuals enrolled in Part B of the program, whether entitled to coverage on the basis of age, disability, or coverage for end-stage renal disease (ESRD), are entitled to immunizations for influenza and pneumococcal disease, as well as for hepatitis B if determined to be at risk for that disease. Since the original 1965 Medicare statute excluded coverage of all preventive services, other vaccines or inoculations are excluded as "preventive immunizations" unless directly related to the treatment of an injury or direct exposure to diseases or conditions.22 Pneumococcal and influenza immunizations are covered by Medicare without deductible and coinsurance.
In 1998, 32.3 million persons aged 65 and older were covered by Medicare Part B. An additional 5 million persons under age 65 were covered as disabled or ESRD beneficiaries. Originally designed in 1965 as a health insurance program to cover the expenses of acute and rehabilitative medical care, Medicare explicitly excluded coverage of preventive services until Congress authorized the coverage of pneumococcal vaccine in 1981. In 1984, hepatitis B vaccine was covered for ESRD patients, and it is now covered for any beneficiaries who are at risk of the disease. Annual influenza immunizations were added to Medicare benefits in 1993, following a 4-year demonstration program. In 1994, the first full year in which both influenza and pneumococcal vaccines were covered, Medicare spent an estimated $100 million on the vaccines and their administration (General Accounting Office, 1995b). In 1998, Medicare paid providers $87 million for influenza immunizations, $27 million for pneumococcal immunizations, and $800,000 for hepatitis B immunizations (information provided by HCFA).
Medicare began paying providers a separate fee for vaccine administration as a uniform national policy in 1993. Prior to that time, payment for immunizations was inconsistent among Medicare administrative areas, and sometimes only the cost of the vaccine was reimbursed. As for other physician service payments, Medicare's vaccine administration payment rates vary geographically.23 For the year 2000, vaccine administration fees range from a low of $3.95 in Mississippi to a high of $5.38 in New York City, with a national average of $4.39 (information provided by HCFA).
Some have argued that Medicare administration fees are too low to compensate physicians adequately for the costs of storing and administering vaccines, and that these low fees contribute to low immunization coverage rates among beneficiaries (Poland and Miller, 2000). However, other factors contribute to low influenza and pneumococcal coverage rates for the elderly, including provider practices and knowledge, and patients'

I love this product!
My lips tend to be very flaky so wearing a lipstick can be a problem, but with this I can get the color of a lipstick with the moisturizing power of a balm.
It's a perfect balance!
The shiny sheen goes away after a few hours but the color stays.
I got it in raspberry pie and tutti frutti both lovely colors!

The packaging is cute to say the least; It's simple and it doesn't get in the way of using the product. The one slip up is that the when it twists up out of the tube the lipstick slides around so that it may eventually end up facing backward in the tube.
This lipstick is incredibly smooth; creamy is the term that best describes this product. It doesn't drag you skin during application. It's a lot more sheer than I expected it to be, but there's no need to worry that the color isn't true as this is a build-able coverage product (light-medium).
The tube I got smells just like maple sugar Quaker oatmeal. It's not a smell that I necessarily enjoy, but it's not as heavily perfumed as some other lipsticks that Revlon carries. When I began to dislike the smell the point of reducing the frequency of my wearing the product, I just de-scented it using the method described by Louise at Get Lippie. Now it's perfect!
Well, it lasts about three hours. Not very long considering the fact that this product is marketed as a multi-use lip balm and lip stick. The glossy (buttery, rather) finish becomes dull after the prescribed three hours and the moisture level diminishes noticeably; only the color remains. That's the best thing about this product; the color has great staying power; not only that, but it's also build-able color.
I bought mine for 7.99USD. It can most likely be found for cheaper online (beware of shipping).
It'll feather on the edges, so if you can find a pencil lip liner in a similar color, then do buy it! It's a good idea to avoid putting moisturizer on before using this product unless you have especially dry skin; your lips will get any overdone greasy look if you put too many other products on with this lipstick. Also, avoid getting product on the crease of your mouth; the buttery shine will not have a flattering effect the look of your lips so be careful!
4/5 stars. This product was a bit of an experiment, wasn't it? I'm a big fan of Revlon's lip products, so I was very excited to try the Lip Butters. With a change in the case and some added sealants this could be a an even better lipstick.

I LOVE these. I cannot stress that enough. These are the perfect mix of lipgloss, lipstick, and lip balm in one. They're so smooth and glide on perfectly. The colors are beautiful. MUST buy! Essential if you want something quick, cheap, quality, and effortlessly gorgeous.
I love this! it really does feel more like a balm than the usual lipstick. it goes on smoothly and moisturizes my lips. Lately, i've found my lips flaking after i wipe off and reapply my lipstick after lunch, and this is despite my diligently applying lipbalm. However, i dont have this issue with the Lipbutter. zero flaking! the pigmentation is not bad for a balm, though of course its lasting power cant compare with a traditional lipstick. but anyway, the color fades to a nice flush within a few hrs. I reapply after a few hrs.Cute packaging too :)
This product is sooo over-hyped! I purchased these in SEVERAL different colors and its really just an alright product. Body Shop lip butters are WAY more moisturizing than these. These are more like a cross between lipstick and chapstick. That's a more accurate description. I would not purchase these again.
I should also mention that certain colors go on smoother than others. Odd, but true.
Am I the only person who these lip butters do nothing for? Slippery and no color payoff for me. Red Velvet was the only one that actually stayed on. I have tried 5 of them and they all went back. I'm bummed because they look SO good on so many people. Why........????? LOL
it's a so-so product for me, it's a lil bit expensive here (and i'm not a lippies person), and there's nothing so special with it. I feel it's more like tinted lip balm for me even it's not always moisturising my lips.
mine is in # peach parfait. I have a quite pigmented lips, and i dont want too many color so i pick this one. Sadly, it has too many glitter, even if it's a good everyday color, it fails me with their glitter.
and it's not long lasting as everyone said, it's gone with the first bitten of any food i ate.
I bought the Revlon Lip Butter in Peach Parfait. While I love the dark pink base of the lip butter, I feel like there's way too much gold glitter in it. This could be a great everyday lip colour, but the glitter makes it a bit too blingy for me to wear during the day. It does enhance the natural colour of my lips though, and is quite moisturising. However on some days it feels too heavy and sticky. The lip butters are ridiculously expensive in Australia ($21.99 for one ... seriously?!), but I ordered mine on Amazon where I could get the US price. Overall it's quite a good product, I just wish there were bits about it that I could change so that I could wear it more often.

I don't see what the hype is about :( I bought one thinking it was going to be very moisturizing and long lasting like people said, but actually it dries out quickly and gives your lips a weird pasty, chalky feeling after maybe 40 minutes. The product also doesn't look that great on the lips, I have to blot my lips a lot to even out the product which applies thickly and is very sticky. After you apply it it actually accentuates the fine lines on your lips. Overall, not moisturizing, and doesn't look good
I have this in the shade Peach Parfait and thought that it would be - well, what the name said- peachy, but this was more of a light pink. This product also had a lot of glitter and gold shimmer that I could feel when I smacked my lips together. Personally, I do not like that. I also felt like this had a little bit of product for the $6-7 I spent on it. I would not buy this again.

Huge Potato Chip Tasting
- j
- Jim Leff May 8, 2001 02:21 AM
I'm about to do a major potato chip tasting, and would greatly appreciate any tips for really good brands (including small, local companies).
The following are the ones on my list which have previously been discussed on these boards. Please chime in with any other faves (I'm only looking for really good ones), including any info you have...company name, rough location, and which of their products you recommend (I'm including flavored chips in the tasting, though I'll also cover plain ones).
Cape Cod
Eagle (esp. their dark and crunchy)
Gibbles (aka Nibble With Gibble's)
Goods in blue bag
Granny Goose
Herr's ("old fashioned" lard and heinz ketchup)
Humpty Dumpty (bbq, bacon, dilly, clam, hot dog, salt & vinegar )
Kettle Chips
King's (lard)
Krunchers (esp. by Guy's Foods) (plain, bbq, jalapeno)
Lay's Lime and Salt and Vinegar
Maine Coast (made by Humpty Dumpty)
Maui Chips (out of biz I think, replaced by frito lay)
Nibble With Gibble's
Terra Blues
Tim's Cascade's (Portland, Oregon)
Utz (Ripples, Grandma Utz, Utz Kettle Classics and Old Bay Seasoning)
"We don't wash our potatoes..." etc
And last but not least...the blessed chips from La Palma Mexicatessen in SF
The only culinary contribution of Bowling Green, Ohio (unless you count the Heinz Ketchup plant) is Cain's Marcelle Potato Chips. These are not delicate chips, but are thick beasts. Cain's was making these ridged chips in the 1930s.
I haven't sampled one since the 1980s, but they were still wonderful then, and a great chip vehicle, since they are so sturdy.
re: Dave Feldman
I have to agree on the Cain's from Bowling Green. I haven't had once since graduation but they are definitely worth a taste.
re: PattyC
Dave--I just got back from Perrysburg, Ohio, where my folks live, and there is ONE other culinary contribution from the Bowling Green area: This REALLY good bottled marinade/salad dressing called "Garlic Expressions." You can get it all over Northern Ohio--not sure about anywhere else. It's "all natural," no preservatives, and it's great for grilling steak or fish, but I, who loathe salads, wolf down mesclun that's been dribbled with the stuff.
Oh--I just looked at the bottle. They have a web site www.garlic-expressions.com and you can order 6 bottles for $24 bucks! Life is good.
re: Tom Steele
Tom--please start new threads for this kind of thing, or at very least change the thread title. There will be other hounds interested to hear about this, but they won't think to look under a potato chip tasting thread!
re: Jim Leff
We called Lays about getting the Lime flavor in the NYC area--they said it's doubtful they'll bring it back. But hey, you've got lots of friends in LA who can send you a bag, right? Happy crunching.
re: Loeb
"We called Lay's about getting the Lime flavor in the NYC area--they said it's doubtful they'll bring it back."
SOB! LIME, we hardly knew ye! Does this mean Lime was ALREADY in the NYC area and I missed it??? Say it ain't so. Or do you mean, the flavor, itself, has been abandoned by Lays? I've been hunting it down in NYC ever since my January introduction in Colorado -- and have NEVER seen it. Perhaps it was marketed on the East Coast, but not NYC...?? Until I hear further on this Lime 'situation,' I will be keeping my spirits up with Salt and Vinegar. Oh! Where can I contact Lay's? - couldn't find an email address on their website. Guess I could try snailmail. (Only in our 'Chowhound world,' here, can I be such a big baby about potato chips! LOL!)
re: Tom Steele
This is good bottled dressing, and do use it as a base for marinades as well as a salad dressing. However,like so many non-emulsified dressings I find the oil/vinegar ratio out of whack with way too much oil. When I shake, the dressing separates again before I can pour and results in very oily salads. With Garlic Expressions I pour out and dispose of most of the oil. This is fairly wasteful but I do love the remaining vinegar, garlic and goop mixture in the bottle with just a little bit of oil.
re: Dave Feldman
Dave, I cannot find a SINGLE mention of these chips anywhere on the internet or in directory assistance (except for an antiques store which sells their old tins...not a good sign!).
is it possible you've got the spelling wrong? If not, they're looking OOB...
re: Jim Leff
I'm worried that Cain's might no longer exist. I've sent you a URL with a reference to the Marcelle chips.
I'll contact some friends in Bowling Green and see what they have to say.
C'mon throw in Wises and Pringles! a few more calories won't hurt and it would be fun to see where they stack up.
I think you HAVE to include our old friend, Wise -- it's been such a staple for chips in this area. Been eating them since I was a kid and I'm now an aging baby boomer. Please don't leave out this wonderful old geezer of chips. (They have an tasty oil flavor unlike any other chip I've tasted.) Thanks, Jim. Looking forward to the results of your tasting!
re: Alice
Potato chips are one of the very few items where I'm as well-versed with the cooking as with the eating. And I'll tell you a secret that I don't think anyone else has ever noticed: if you deep fry your chips, they come out tasting more or less like Lays. If you pan fry them, they taste more or less like Wise.
It's not the oil flavor that's different with Wise; I don't know how it translates on their mega-scale of production, but it's a prep method thing.
re: Jim Leff
Thanks for that interesting tidbit, Jim. As a Wise fan, I will keep that in mind when I prepare potatoes!
re: Alice
Omigod. Wise is still cranking out those greasy yet somehow crispy chips? As a mere youth in NJ about 600 years ago, my buddies & I misspent years of our lives figuring out how to boost cases of nickel bags of chips from the nearby processing plant. One score would keep us happy for weeks (prob was days, really). As a hound-in-training, I prob got higher from those nickel bags then kids today get from their nickel bags.
Lay's has just introduced a line of "gourmet" chips here in San Francisco (I'm not sure whether this is a regional test or whether they have full national distribution.)
They're called Lay's Bistro Gourmet Potato Chips and they come in a variety of flavors:
Bistro Classic
Roasted Garlic & Herb
Applewood BBQ & Smoked Cheddar
Sharp Cheddar and Jalepeno
Jim, two more for you:
1. Martin's, York Pa. If you drive to the York Market on, you can get them hand bagged by the little old ladies. The plain chips are nice and lardy. I like the BBQ chips a lot as well.
2. Route 11, Middletown, Va. These are fabulous chips. The place is owned by the folks who run the Tabard Inn restaurant in Washington. Try the "Death Rain." They are easily the hottest chips I've ever eaten.
They also have dill pickle and old bay flavors, among others.
I've included a link to their web site.
Link: http://www.rt11.com/
re: Bob W.
Thanks...but both were already on the list! I'm writing this for publication elsewhere (though I'll definitely summarize results here and link to there as soon as it's published), so I'm slightly hesitant to publish my full list (with the obscure brands) until the whole thing's done.
Does Route 11 still have thier premium line, called Tabard Chips?
re: Jim Leff
Jim, according to the Route 11 website, the Tabard Inn Yukon Gold chips are alive and well!
re: Jim Leff
Route 11 chips are in Bon Appetit August issue! (Is this a good or a bad sign?)
re: Bob W.
I realize this thread is a tad out of date but I tried the Route 11 "Chesapeake Crab" flavor chips today. Eww. I must admit the flavor has a lot of potential but the chips were SOO salty I could barely eat more than 5 (no mean feat for a potato chip). They had a nice peppery finish to them though which was good.
I have also tried the Dill flavor which were good but a bit too subtle for my taste....
Just my two cents......
re: MLogan
I have to agree with you. I'm not a major fan of Route 11 chips -- no doubt due to their lack of intensity. The dill was slightly insipid. Wish my local markets (NYC) would sell the dill in other brands.
re: Jason Perlow
Jason, Route 11's "Blair's Death Rain" chips?!?! I give up! Pray what type flavor IS this and where have you found it? The marketers must have been stoned! Can't wait to read the package copy.
re: Alice
Route 11's Death Rain chips are flavored with habaneros and possibly some other peppers. Someone brought a bag into my wife's office and people tried them without knowing what they were. There was much agita and general freaking out.
When down in New Orleans recently I brought home a bag of this year's Zapp's limited edition flavor: XXX Habanero. According to the bag they are "Dangerous to breath and brain." We'll see how they stack up against the Death Rain chips, but based on my previous experience with Zapp's, I'm expecting some extremely hot chips.
re: Bob W.
You know, I considered the Death Rain Chips too. But, much like those brightly colored frogs in South America, I figure the flaming skull was a warning to NOT TOUCH!
Perhaps I am a wimp but I just want a chip that has a nice flavor to compliment my sandwich. I don't understand products where the sole purpose seems to be to inflict pain upon oneself or to prove who has the biggest, um, taste buds.
Not that I don't get a kick out of them once in a while but there is such a proliferation of them out there! I guess they figure that the curiousity factor is all they need. Good marketers!
re: Alice
Yes as Bob says, they are barbecue-type flavored chips with lots of garlic and orange habeneros, possibly some cayenne as well. They are EXTREMELY hot. My macho friend at work from jamaica tried them and actually -coughed- when he popped a handful of them into his mouth, assuming they would be wimpy.
The bag is black and yellow with a big flaming skull on the front.
re: Julie H.
There's also a Chippery on LaGuardia Place between Bleecker and Houston. Their salt and vinegar were VERY vinegary (which I like) but the potato was still tasteable (which I also like) Also, they aren't too thick and are crispy.
I don't know how useful this is, but Burts Potato Chips, from the UK, are superb. Hand cut, cooked in small batches and carefully salted: WOW!
They don't export (sob!) and believe me, I have begged.
Here are the contact details:
Burts Potato Chips
The Parcel Shed
Station Yard
Here is the blurb from a recent UK trade show directory:
"We are the smallest artisan crisp maker in the country. Despite the rains we are frying some great potatoes this spring -Linda and Richard Burt welcome you on the stand to taste the results."
Perhaps Poore Brothers. They are rather thick and crunchy and they say they are made in small batches. They come in habanero, steak & onion (didn't care for that one) dill pickle, parmesean garlic, and plain. They have a website.
Our main local brand is Guy's
I see you have the Terra blues on your list and other Terra flavored chips were mentioned, but the plain Yukon Gold should be part of the mix.
Hi Jim,
I don't know if they are available in the U.S., but have you ever tried a local Japanese brand called "Calbee's". They actually sort of taste like potatoes.
If you want, give me an address to where I can send a CARE package, and I'll FedEx some bags of the local potato chips; plain and flavored. I'll even get somebody to translate the supposed flavors indicated on the bags.
re: Andy P.
What a coincidence--I just tried Calbee for the first time this weekend--and was about to mention it on this site.
In fact, I have all the facts in front of me. This particular bag contained "Snowpea Crisps." "Ill just have a couple I thought..." Yeah, right!! The bag was gone in 10 minutes.
Here are the details:
The look just like green snowpeas!
--called Calbee Snowpea Crisps (Baked Saya Original)
--made in Japan, distributed by Calbee America, Inc. in Buena Park, California
--Ingredients: green peas, veg oil, rice glucose, powdered soy sauce, dried bonite, distilled vingegar, malt extra, blu perilla and spices.
--15 cal. per serving--3.3 servings per bag.
--located in a Korean grocery shop on Broadway between 79th and 80th street.
The bag was--what can I say--a religious experience. Hey, ya gotta eat yer greens!!
re: Lynn
Hi Lynn,
Thanks for the tip. I've always passed them over, but today I did pick up a bag. Unfortunately, I've not gotten around to them, because I also grabbed a bag of, is everybody ready? Cheetos Puff Limited Edition Squid Ink and Curry puff snacks. (Packaged in the classiest snack food bag I've EVER seen).
I've been occasionally munching on the CPLESIACPS' since lunch, and am now going to town on them. Lets just say that they go really well with an ice cold Asahi beer.
re: Andy P.
Yes, Calbee's potato chips are available here. Picked up a bag in Oakland Chinatown a few months ago. When they say spicy, they mean it!
re: Andy P.
i loved calbee's sweet potato chips (i think they were calbee) when i was kid...though when i think back on it, i recall them as rather plain, somewhat thick, but w/ a very light texture or body (they look sorta like shrimp chips -- those white, pink and green kind i had once in a restaurant)...as a child i always wavered on whether i liked the texture...i think i leaned towards not...i just loved anything sweet potato...though these were not strongly flavored as such...and i think the taste -- combined w/ the texture -- was a bit artifical...terra sweet potato chips taste more like sweet potato, and more naturally so.
that's why even though i liked them as a child (just b/c they were sweet potato, i guess...i was never, and still am not, much of a chip person...but i liked sweet potatoes better than reg. ones), i've always bypassed them at the japanese markets here in the states.
does calbee also make the mixed vegetable shoestring-like chips! (in a green bag) love those! the salt and strange-vegetal-amalgam flavor (sorta potato-y, sorta green-y, sorta onion-y)! i always finish the bag too quickly!
re: cj
just searched and found a site (available in japanese and english).
guess i was wrong on both those chips i mentioned! i thought they were calbee, but neither are shown on the products page. (if you wanna check them out and have a japanese or maybe korean market nearby, the sweet potato comes in a pink~purplish bag and the veg comes in a green bag...i think both have a pics of the chips and a little vegetable mascot - sorta like mr. peanut - on the bag.)
the shrimp chips which are shown -- we lived off of those!!
gotta love the calbee -- making chips, mind you -- "contributes to better health for all people."
final report on charles' chips:
salt and vinegar, onion & garlic and jalapeno flavors were really very good to excellent.
plain were good
the bag that disappointed: rippled sour cream & cheddar. these did not taste good to me and some others (tho 2 guys thought they were OK!), and bec of that i wouldn't rec their rippled sorts.
the above results are based on sample of 12 people!
one thing i noticed over time was that the chips seemed to have more brown specks round the edges than some other chips. so the jackets aren't totally peeled off. didn't put me off, but people who like a "clean" chip might think otherwise
i see you have herrs: i think their salt & vinegar are good, at least the ones you get in NJ.
another to add maybe: "new york deli" (red bags). the jalapeno are very tasty and pleasantly greasy, tho they might have some unhealthy oils in them
I'm delighted you posted this topic because I'd like to discuss my two new favorite chips. 1. Cape Cod Golden Russet Potato Chips - these may be old hat to you NorthEasterners, but they seem to be hard to find here in North Carolina. These are easily the best plain potato chips I've ever eaten. Intense, potatoey flavor, superior to Krunchers! and best of all, they're not even remotely greasy (unlike Krunchers!) Some people find 'em a bit too dark, but that's the way I like 'em (uh huh, uh huh). This is my new favorite; too bad I have to drive fifty miles east of here to find a bag. . . and it's worth it! 2. Chip Thunder Buffalo Wing and Blue Cheese chips (a Lance brand) - The chip is uninspired; a Ruffles knock off, but the flavoring is absolutely incredible! Most barbeque and/or cheese flavored potato chips usually make me gag, but these have a initial spicy jalopeno flavor followed by a cool blue cheese flavor, with an underlying hint of salt and vinegar chips. I'm helplessly addicted! It's like that old Snickers commercial, first you taste the spice, than you taste the cheese, etc. etc. I suspect that this would be a love/hate flavor for most people, but I recommend them wholeheartedly. If you could just combine number one with number two, I'd be in snack food Nirvana!
re: R. Parker
My question to you is those salt and vinegar chips are they ruffled and if they are where can I find them in Georgia? Or do they ship to Georgia, I've been looking for these ruffled salt and vinegar chips for a while now! They used to sell them here and then stopped and I've been craving them ever since then! Please help me! Thanks!

I will toss in Boulder Potato Chips. Try the malt vinegar with sea salt. The malt flavor is an unusual twist on the old vinegar. Very good flavor. Their Thai flavored chips seem interesting, but I have not tried them.
i've haven't always been a big chip fan but, jay's chips from chicago deserve to be included. since i've moved to virginia, i really miss that taste!!!
There a brand of Chips (Phiineas Fogg) I like from England that I havent seen in years. I used to love their Punjab Puri chips. It's been so long they may be out of biz and they probably taste like chemicals to me now.
re: Steve Potenberg
A seasoning? Ethnic delicacy?
I don't know whether you're still looking for different brands of potato chips for your tasting, but I noticed this brand on the web today -- I haven't tasted it -- was looking at other things on this site and happened to see the potato chips. Here's the link:
re: Nancy Berry
Recently tried these. Wonderfully fiery. I'm not normally a fan of "fat" (thick) potato chips, but 'Chile Today/Hot Tamale was a very worthy flavor!
I have moved from Northern Virginia to southeastern North Carolina. I can not find Gibble's potato chips down here. WHERE CAN I FIND SOME GIBBLE'S??? HELP!!!!
re: Dave Perry
sorry, out of business. no longer can you "Nibble With Gibbles".
re: Jim Leff
Jim: When/where will we see the results of the tasting?
re: JenniferFishWilson
In an upcoming issue of Attache, the US Air inflight magazine (which is a really cool publication...I like most of the in-flight mags, but this one's my fave).
My deal with them is that I'm allowed to put the article online after a few months, so definitely look for it here.
re: Jim Leff
Glad to hear we'll be able to read the results on Chowhound. I'm a big Chowhound supporter and will go out of my way for "The Cause" but can't bring myself to buy a US Air ticket just to read your Chip article. Looking forward to the results!
re: Jim Leff
I have seen these as recently as last year in Kroger's in Cincinnati. Actually I have seen several different brands incorporate the "marcelled" description on their package. I doubt that any one brand claims it as an exclusive. Over the years I have eaten potato chips all over the U. S. (note previous potato "chip off"). For unique flavor King's from central PA which are fried in lard (much more intense than Grandma Utz) stand alone. I don't know the twon they are made in but, generally, it is around Reading, PA. This part of PA is sort of like ground zero for potato chips in America.
Now that I've re-ordered Kitch'n Cook'd twice since the original order I totally agree that they are the best with the olive oil second and Zapp's CrawTaters third. I've grudgingly come around but you were right!
Any potato chip that states on the box "keep out of sunlight" and "refrigerate immediately" is worth the price. And this is truly a lot.
re: Joe
" I have seen these as recently as last year in Kroger's in Cincinnati"
not sure what you're referring to....my posting, which you're replying to, doesn't discuss any specific brands.
Yes, keep all chips (shoot, all foods) out of sunlight. Refrigeration is not necessary. AFter opening over 200 bags of chips earlier the summer (leftovers all went to charity), I am now a leading authority on keeping opened bags fresh. Here's whatcha do.
purge as much air from the bag as possible, and flatten out the bag above the chip line. Fold over the top inch of the bag, and then do two more, wider folds until the bag's folded tightly just above the chips. Be careful not to introduce air during this process! Then put three paper clips along the top of the bag.
Even in 90 degree heat and high humidity, the chips will last a week without sogging. Just don't keep the bag open for any longer than you have to. Open, grab, munch, close. Memorize that.
Note: the maui chip bag is brittle. For them, put the whole bag inside a freezer seal-'em bag. Purge the air by sucking on the bag just before sealing.
re: Jim Leff
An elegant tutorial on chip keeping. Classic, probably should be carved over the chip sections of any food supermart.
re: berkleybabe
I will accept that praise. And more. Because in opening several hundred bags of chips (which involved accepting about 50 large crates from UPS, trying each one not once, but twice, feeding an entire dorm of skinny college students with a portion of the leftovers, and begging friends to come try just fifty or sixty more products even though they'd sworn off ever again eating another potato chip) over the course of a few weeks, I learned something. I learned, once again, that by going wildly over the top, you can really get to know stuff.
I can walk into a supermarket in any part of the country, glimpse the chip selection out of the corner of my eye and wear that weary, superior, seen-it-all look on my face, like a contractor scanning the woodworking nails at Home Depot.
I own the aisle. I know what forty bags weigh. I know how to open bags, and I know what packing materials lead to the freshest product. I know their lifespan. I know how to reseal the bags. I know how to ship them. I can identify the oil in a snap. I know all the obscure products, the ones you see only rarely. My pants don't fit.
My entire apartment was completely packed with crates of chips, bags of chips, fragments of chips, for about a month. I really really pushed it for a few weeks there (amazingly, I still like the things). It's an extreme approach, nowhere near as fun as gradually ramping up knowledge (hey, it was a gig), but it was an amazing experience that made me pretty much the Chip Wiz in just a month.
Kids, don't try this at home.
re: Jim Leff
just wanted to say how much i enjoyed your "what i did this summer" essay! now that's a job not just anyone could undertake-i fear few are truly that devoted and brave.
re: Jim Leff
this is life.....this is life
If you can get your hands on either Lays Smokey Bacon or Ruffles Sour Cream & Bacon, sold in Canada, those are hands down the best readily available flavours I've found. They taste pretty similar - though I think the Ruffles have a slight edge.
*Edit - no clue how I ended up on this thread as it appears to be 13 years old. I am curious to know how that chip tasting turned out!

Chlorine: historical information
Chlorine was discovered in 1774 by Carl Wilhelm Scheele. He obtained it through the reaction of the mineral pyrolusite (manganese dioxide, MnO2) with hydrochloric acid (HCl, then known as muriatic acid). Scheele thought the resulting gas contained oxygen. Sir Humphry Davy proposed and confirmed chlorine to be an element in 1810, and he also named the element.

TO: Superintendents of Schools
FROM: Susan A. Gendron, Commissioner
DATE: May 18, 2007
RE: Conference Call with Superintendents and the Release of the Suggested Model for Reorganizing School Units
As you have probably heard, the Legislature's Education and Cultural Affairs Committee is expected to hear on Monday afternoon about the latest proposal for school administrative reorganization. The Committee has asked me to present the suggested model for reorganizing school units, which we developed based on the draft proposal from the Appropriations Committee's Subcommittee on Education.
At the same time, I will post the suggested model, the criteria used, a list of all suggested regional school units (RSU's), and maps with links to the files on our website and will send you an informational letter with a link to that information.
In addition, I invite you to participate in a conference call at 3:00 p.m. that day so that I can walk you through the materials and answer your questions about how we arrived at the model, and describe expected next steps. I would request that this conference call be limited to superintendents (and immediate staff, as appropriate) only, as the phone system will allow for only 125 callers to participate. We will provide a number of venues for others to have their questions answered over the coming days and weeks.
Should the public session with the Education Committee go longer than expected, we may have to delay the conference call. Staff from my office will activate the call at 3:00 p.m. and notify you of the new time. We will send a notice by e-mail, as well.
Please contact David Connerty-Marin at 624-6880 or at firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions regarding the conference call or the release of the model on Monday.

Amanda Blumenherst, the LPGA golfer who spent much of her childhood inFort Wayne, is stepping away from the tour after this season.
In an interview with golfchannel.com, Blumenherst confirmed she would like to spend more time with her husband, Nate Freiman, who plays baseball for the Oakland A's and is a former player with the Fort Wayne TinCaps.
"I don't want to say I'm retiring, because you never know what will happen," Blumenherst said in the story. "Maybe I'll decide in a couple years to come back, and this will just be a little break, you never know."
Blumenherst, 26, and Freiman, 26, who met while athletes at Duke, married last year but their respective careers have kept them apart.
Blumenherst, who has been a professional since 2010, has earned $527,871 on tour. She has six top-10 finishes but hasn't won yet on tour.
She was the 2008 U.S. Amateur champion.
"This was a tough decision, because golf has been such a huge part of my life for the last 20 years, but Nate and I have talked about it and prayed about it," Blumenherst told the Golf Channel. "I definitely know it's the right decision for me, this new chapter of our lives."
Blumenherst grew up playing a lot at Sycamore Hills Golf Club, which is playing host to this week's Hotel Fitness Championship, part of the new Web.com Tour Finals.
Last year, she helped organize an unofficial event with LPGA players that benefited the local Mad Anthonys charity. This year, that tournament was folded into the Hotel Fitness Championship.
"The LPGA is an amazing place," said Blumenherst, who couldn't be reached by The Journal Gazette. "I love being a part of the tour, and I love the people. It's not that I've lost my love for golf, but with this new chapter in my life, I want to be a part of that. I want to be with Nate, and, hopefully, down the road, I want us to have a family. I wouldn't want to split my time away from family, our children."

Try using the old tactic of shouting out buzzwords and slogans to rouse the (ignorant no more) masses, while your enforcers stamp down on any dissenting voices. It just wont work nowadays; the people formally on the podium are now just faces in the crowd. In this new world everyone has access to the facts (and not just those supplied by the opposing factions) and a voice of their own.

DETROIT (AP) -- Individualized programs for students and other offerings by the Detroit Public Schools will be showcased during the district's annual spring open enrollment period.
The district says events begin Monday with a weeklong "Spend a Day in K" pre-kindergarten to kindergarten transition program. Pre-kindergarten students in each elementary school will take part in daily activities with kindergarten classrooms.
An open enrollment fair will be held May 3 for students with special needs. A Cinco de Mayo outdoor enrollment fair also will be held that day for students in southwest Detroit. The kindergarten-eighth grade All-Schools Open House and high school and career academy fair for ninth-graders also are scheduled.
Open enrollment runs through May 20 and is part of the district's five-year strategic plan to keep current students and attract new students.

What type of player did the Chicago Bears get when they signed Michael Bush to a four year contract in March? There's a lot of misconceptions on what type of player Bush is and what type of player he can be in Chicago.
Is Bush the type of player who can come in and be a starter if Forte decides to hold out part of the season? To answer those questions I broke Bush's game on tape as an Oakland Raider to find out what precisely the Bears have in the 6-foot-1 240-pound running back.
Michael Bush is a big running back and he runs hard and is pretty fast and nimble for his size. He has good vision to the hole and good cutback ability for a player of his size. He can accelerate through the hole that he sees and pick up positive yards. He played in an inside-zone rushing offensive in Oakland much like he will here in Chicago and performed above average in that offense.
Bush has quick feet and soft hands and can make people miss better than most running backs. Once he gets going Bush can be tough to bring down in the open field. He rarely has carries go for negative yards, but the Raiders have a pretty strong run blocking offensive line.
Bush gets a lot of good yards between the tackles as he doesn't have a lot of speed to threaten the edge like Forte does. He's a grinder, a pile pusher that could be a really solid compliment to Forte's style.
Also benefiting Bush's production is that the Raiders like to go jumbo a lot and bring in sixth offensive lineman, make him eligible and put him on the edge of the formation. They get good yards out of this heavy formation look.
Bush is pretty athletic for his size he can jump over a pile, cut back into an open hole and get into the second level pretty quickly.
Bush is not a power running back any means even at size well above average most NFL backs. Perhaps Bush's biggest weakness is an upright style that leaves him vulnerable to being cut down at the legs a lot.
Getting tripped up or cut down below the waist was Bush's biggest weakness that I saw on tape. He isn't a lower the shoulders and fight his way forward for extra yards kind of player.
He can be tough to bring down, but that is more related to his overall size versus his style of running. Bears fans should not expect Michael Bush to run like Marion Barber did for the Bears last year.
Also of concern is the Bears' offensive line and it's tendency to give up a lot of yards behind the line of scrimmage. Bush does not do well with defenders around his feet or when there is penetration.
Bush is by no means a short yardage back so if the thought process is that he will be the answer to Matt Forte's short yardage struggles, Bears fans may want to rethink that.
He gets most of his positive yards when there is a good surge in front of him and he can lean into the pile. He can be cut down pretty easily if there is a lot of traffic.
What is going to make this Bears offense successful are the new weapons the Bears have in place. Bush can be successful in Chicago if he's not asked to fulfill the role Matt Forte has had to since his rookie season. Bush is not a franchise back like Forte and the Bears probably shouldn't consider hims a starter capable of replacing Forte.
He is a very good complimentary back that could really lengthen Forte's career in Chicago. He could succeed as a starter and keep the Bears' offense efficient enough but he doesn't have any where near the home run ability of Forte.
The primary goal the Bears should have for Bush is to lessen Forte's carries and prolong his career. When you watch a guy like Bush run you learn to appreciate what the Bears have in Forte even more. Forte is an all-around back who can win in all phases of the running game with his athleticism.
What the Bears have in Bush is a player that shouldn't be the primary starter, but if it came down to it could be productive enough in a balanced run-oriented attack.

A huge thanks to all the pilots for making it over to the event, and a huge thank you to crew and organizing team for getting the whole thing running. Without your support the event would not be successful! And especially, a huge thank you to Nick for stepping up to the role of Contest Director at the very last minute and helping me take care of a lot of the work load in the final weeks.
The sponsors have also made this an event to be remembered with all the prizes for so many contestants, with ArmSoar Composite Gliders (duh!!!), Fly-Dream, Graupner SJ, Vortex Team, JR Propo, KST Servos, and Smart Model.
Also, the great support from the three major F3K clubs in China: South China Soaring Association, Yang Cheng Hu F3K Group, and the Beijing Wind Wing Soaring Association.
Huge congratulations to all the pilots in the flyoffs, and especially to the top podium pilots.

Event Happenings:
Oct 1
My trip started by waking up at 5:30am and getting ready for Michael to come pick up Enya and I. We left my house at around 6:30am and went to the airport to pick-up Joe. Turns out Joe's flight landed around an hour earlier than planned! After a luxurious McDonald's breakfast we started our drive through Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Dongguan, and Guangzhou to get to Sanshui. Because the 1st is the National Day and all highways are toll-free during these holidays, the traffic was baddddddddd!!!! From Sha Tou Jiao port it usually takes 3.5 hours to drive to the field… and it turned into about 6 hours… phew!!! That's a total of about 9 hours driving for Michael from 6am :DTook many detours into smaller roads in the city to try and get away from the traffic, I think Michael's legs were already sore by the time we got to the field!
A bunch of the pilots have started to arrive on the 1st and we spent the day flying. Okay, I probably just spent most of the day BS'ing at the field and flew maybe half a dozen flights. No… Don't think I'm very prepped!
That night we had dinner at the buffet at our hotel, and more and more guys joined during the course of the meal and even while we were enjoying beers after dinner at the bar.
Oct 2
The next day is also practice day at the field. There was some carnage, not spectacular enough unfortunately. After a long day of practice at the field in hot weather and stupid easy conditions we went to the seafood boat as per SCSA tradition. The food was very local and I think the guys really quite liked the atmosphere and food! The Shanghai crew tried to get me drunk as usual before Nick and I gave the pilots' meeting… I don't remember drinking anything at all.
I think the pilots' meeting went super smooth with perfect professionalism……. NOT! I think this is the first time in F3K where the pilots' meeting was given by a guy who couldn't stand up from too much beer and red wine… hahaha!!! I don't remember much of it but I hear it was pretty good
Oct 3
Woke up at 6:30am to make sure there is enough time to eat a nice breakfast before leaving with the bus at 8:00am. Got to the field and after a bit of test flying and prep work, the contest went underway. Conditions were quite nice but for some reason I just couldn't really connect to it. First round I flew my usual style of reading something downwind and chasing after it…. Went out 3 times….. and the last time coming back with a broken model. 1 down… 1 to go. Not a good start to 3 days of tasks!!!
There was quite a bit of exceptional flying from all the guys, it seems that the level rose to the occasion. With only 1 plane left and no ballast provision (simply have not had time to really do any prep for my own flying and planes for the event), I had to fly conservatively and not able to really fly the way that I am used to. Ended up with eleventh in the warm up contest after the 6 rounds.
Lots of great flying by Joe with perfect grands during the whole day, and dropped his last round of 939. Tang Zhigao from China flew very consistently as usual and ended up in second, while Kazuo Kaneko from Japan came in third with over 98% even with a 0 round when he forgot he had to fly and went to be a timer!!!
Carl Strautins the international newbie did great and ended up in fifth even though he claims it's his third or fourth time flying DLG in 3 years… yeah, having a 72m launch doesn't hurt either! Maybe beginners luck ,hahahaha
Had dinner at the hotel buffet and drinks afterwards at the bar, time for bed.
Oct 4
We arrived at the field as usual after breakfast, and got the news that we may have difficulty using the main contest field. Not great news in the morning right before the APO! The field we have permission to fly on is part of the Beijiang dike system that protects Guangzhou from flooding. The official report was that during the National holidays, important infrastructures like this is set to higher security alert. Apparently there was a fire nearby during the warm up contest, and the office in charge of this section of the dike felt it was better to lock down the area and not allow anyone to use the fields. The decision was made quickly that we would switch to our backup field. We arrived at the field and started to setup at around 10:30am, and set the first round to start at noon so that everyone gets time to practice and get used to the location.
I think overall, the move to the backup location really made the competition much more interesting, as it is a very technical field to fly at with massive sink traps making for lots of score separation. The field is located on the tip of an island in the middle of a large river, and a couple meters above the water level. Upwind are some buildings on the other side of the river which is quite wide. Downwind of the field is the tents, flags, power lines, a cliff to the water, and then large boats. If you go downwind, the only way to succeed is if you are at or above launch height. Once you reach lower than maybe 45~50 meters, the air is choppy and the sink is incredible from the air rushing down the cliff to the water. There were so many land outs it was amazing to watch.
Joe's first flight in the AULD was probably one of the most memorable flights of the whole event. He was probably 1:30 or so into his flight when he was maybe 200 meters or so out upwind and 10 meters above the ground. He walked over to the lip, and managed to fly and salvage the flight by doing a few passes on the small cliff, and still somehow managed to get both himself and the model back to the box. Honestly, I don't think anyone else could have pulled that off with what seemed like 2 meters right off the cliff back through pretty choppy air through the field and get back into the box. At times we were quite worried the model was gone into the river… well, it's Joe.
I flew well and continued to fly quite good for the day except a poor 555 round. Round 1 was Task C, most of us managed the 3 on the first and third flights, but while everyone came down around 1~2 minutes, I managed to get the full 3 minutes and immediately put the hurt on everyone.
In round 2 task G, first flight I must have lost my mind. Because with 20 seconds left in the first flight, I was at the correct distance. At 10 seconds, it felt I was too close already, and even with full breaks I was zooming past and had to run to grab it. Once I picked it up and re-launched, I realized I landed with the wind… WHAT? I can't believe I made such a dumb mistake. Next flight I got a great turnaround and I was back on track, or so I thought. Next landing, I tried to do a good turnaround and as I was coming in, I grabbed the blade, readjusted, and ended up pushing my plane out of the box. After a relatively boring rest of the round I dropped 12, and luckily it was enough for another 1000.
I don't remember much from round 3 task B, I managed 7:36 and it was enough to get a 1000. The spread wasn't as great on this task as I hoped, but as long as I got the grand I was happy.
The first major mistake I made was in round 4 task F, with 4 pilots getting 3 maxes and the 1000's, I managed to put myself into a corner and only fly 5 minutes, with a score of 555. Luckily there is a drop soon.
The air was getting lighter and lighter, while there were some soft air around it took quite a bit of patience and smooth flying to make use of it, but it seemed that the sink was still there in the field. Round 5 task I, I got a hunch that something might be brewing upwind to the left from the test flight and decided to give it a shot. Launched high, and went straight into air. As I moved forward the plane just kept rising and with 12mm of camber, the plane was doing really well. I think 3 other models were there with me but started slightly lower and behind me, and it was fun just watching them sink while I continued to go up. I felt I flew very well in the round, and with a 20s drop I managed to get the 1000 and pull the scores apart a bit.
After the 5 rounds of flying, we went back to the hotel for buffet again, and after dinner, Joe gave us a short 1 hour session on thermal basics, while I tried to translate it to my non-native Mandarin Chinese. The audience was quite interactive after the initial shyness and we all learned quite a bit.
Apparently I missed some colorful stuff that night because I went to bed early after the thermal section….
Oct 5
As we were loading onto the big bus to head to the field, these 2 girls suddenly entered our bus. Hmm…. All the guys in the back are looking at each other and wondering what the hell is going on, until I asked them where they were going. "Oh, we are going to watch the plane contest." Okay then!!
As more rumors and stories filled the bus and airwaves about these two ladies, we uncovered that Slim Shady tried to pick them up at the bar after the thermal session, and got rejected. Then the pook gai hum ga chan hai lo Pimp with the accent asked them to come watch the comp, and they actually woke up early to come! I hope my story is accurate, maybe Slim Shady or the Pimp with an accent can clear it up and shed some light!
Round 6 task A, the beginning of my downfall. Everything I did from this point on was so wrong that we reckon if I did everything exactly opposite, I would have made some more grands. Thermal to the left? Let's turn right. Straight launch into a read upwind? Nah, maybe it's more fun to hook the launch and spend a lifetime in sink before trying to push back up. Sounds like a good plan. Everything just fell apart and each round I was getting more and more confused with my flying.
It was an extremely humbling experience, and now I know with definition that this is something I need to work on. The ability to focus and refocus after a bad round is absolutely fundamental in becoming a top pilot.
Well the contest was over for me, jumping off a cliff with a 100% score after the first day and ending up with 81% after half a day of flying on Sunday. But, it gave me a very educational perspective as a caller for Joe during the flyoffs.
I may have passed my bad streak to Joe, because after such a perfect prelim with perfect 9* 1000's, he started to make some small mistakes. Recoverable, until the loop popped off the elevator in 5*2 after a hard landing, and the plane launched, arched down, and hit a caller in the leg directly. Quite a severe bruising to the timer which required medical attention after the round, and a damaged plane, we were not 100% sure of the rules regarding contact with a person on launch, so swapped planes and continued to fly. We lost 26 seconds during the whole ordeal, from the other side of the field, retrieval, powering up and checking new model, swapping, and having it back in the air. Unfortunately, upon checking the rulebook (supplied by the big Nerd Pimp), contact with a person at launch also results in a 0 for the round in addition to the 100 penalty from total score.
Carl, you are such a good pilot it's incredible. Your 72m launches are pretty wimpy in comparison to my launches but they're passable, but at least you can speak BS almost as well as me, that's a start. I am really looking forward to flying with you again soon.
Jon, it's great to see you again and darnit that's a great score against a tough tough group of pilots in a very technical field, you rocked the flyoffs mate. I mean, some day you're going to have to stop coming in second but for now that's okay It was really nice to finally meet Shona, and I'm glad you got the chance to go around Guangzhou shopping and sightseeing, it is a wonderful city full of so much history and culture.
Joe, thank you so much for coming over and showing us how it's done, everyone had their eyes on your plane for most of the comp and we all learned a lot from your flying and decisions. Please don't make hitting people a habit on launch, planes have feelings too.
Kajiro-San, you are OK. I will tell everyone in China you are as good as me, hahaha J Please fly well so I can see you in Croatia next year!!
Kaneko-San, 私はあなたの爆発髪をもう一度見て満足しています!
Iyobe-San, next time you beat Kajiro-San please remember to take a photo, otherwise he is too old to remember properly! Hahahaha
Tang Zhigao, you have been consistently at the top for the past year and it shows that all your hard work is paying off! I'm glad to be on your team, keep on going!
Li Han, since even the last time I've seen you, you have improved immensely. Your presence and positive energy is helping promote the sport of F3K and giving it a very positive image, good job and keep it up! You have a very good future in this discipline.
Nick, thank you so much for your hard work. I know it's been super busy for you and to step up to the plate at a moment's notice is incredible. You know what you have to improve on, go at it!!
Shady, you are the real Slim Shady, please stand up! I don't know anyone else with 9.5 Snipes, better protect your last 'mint' condition one like a baby!!! You have a very good attitude and desire to learn, so start as a blank sheet and pick up as much good info as you can. Ask the guys for help, either in Beijing or online, and just keep going no matter what.
Pang, thanks for the shirt trade! Now I can be undercover when I come over to Singapore, not that we would need a warm shirt!! Great flying buddy, and good luck at the Typhoon race in Taiwan!
Sherwin, next time have both eyes open when you fly!! Great to fly with you man, see you next year.
Yizhi, dude I can't thank you enough, that was so awesome of you! See you later this month…ahem
Chong, you are one lucky guy! It must be great to have your wife's support at the field when you are flying! Great to meet you and hope to see you in Singapore next year!
Ronald, it's been a few years since we've met, it's so exciting to see the sport become so popular in Singapore now. Keep it up and you finally have a lot of guys to play with!
Richard, you need to have some fun and fly as well as TM next time! I bet you had the itch to do some flying at least part of your stay at the event, don't lie!! Hahaha. Cheers and see you soon I hope.
Chotiwutti, you've improved a lot since last year, it's great to see progress and congratulations on getting your son hooked as well!
Tanutch, good flying buddy! With only a few months of flying you were able to complete the APO, keep working hard and you will improve very fast. Your launches are nice and smooth and your flying is nice. Keep practicing and keep soaring!
Sam, good to see you again Sam, you have a lot of potential, keep at it and work on your launch and setup. School is important so obviously for the next few years that will keep you occupied, but don't lose the passion for soaring! Looking forward to seeing you next month in Taiwan, yay!
Hsieh, I bet you are glad you listened and came fly at the APO! It's such a great experience and you won so much in the raffle!!! See you soon and looking forward to flying with you in November in Taiwan.
Lin, I think you are the furthest pilot to ever come to fly DLG's in China so far! All the way from Brazil, I hope you enjoyed the event and tell some stories to the guys back home! Hope to see you in Croatia next year
Flying Reflections:
After the competition, a few of the top Chinese pilots got together and had a long discussion on our own reflections, thoughts after the competition, and critiques of each other's flying until 3:30am. In addition, it was nice to be able to take the bus back to Hong Kong with Joe and get him all to myself (no sharing!) for a few hours and get comments and suggestions.
Out of all the things I need to work on, these are some of the most important things in no particular order:
1. Mental toughness and the ability to focus and refocus during a competition, and to reduce the effect of one or two bad rounds on the mental aspect of flying. This has been a reoccurring event this year where I fly great in the beginning and then end up choking after flying a bad round and can't refocus back into the proper flying mindset.
2. Preparations for a competition, including making sure the models are ready (install ballast, plane trimming, and having enough planes), practice (3 or 4 times in 5 months is not enough), and the on-site setup of my tent and area.
3. Thermal reading skills, trying to improve the observation of the entire surroundings, and be more critical and confident in the reads.
4. Flying skills, especially in lift to try to increase the ability of turning both ways without bias, increase ability to find the best air inside a body of rising air, and general ability of making the best use of the thermal given.
Asia Pacific Open Future Development:
Being the first of its kind, I am super excited to see it take off and get the ball rolling in the Asia Pacific region. We are in a big need of a good competition system in the region and the APO will be a very important milestone. After some preliminary discussion with the other teams, it seems that the APO may go towards a FAI sanctioned format, and turned into the equivalent of the European Championships. The competition will likely be held every two years, spaced apart from the World Championships so that it will be able to attract the best pilots and teams from the region to compete.
At the moment, it seems that Australia is very interested in hosting the next event in 2016. Singapore may also be interested. China will not bid in 2016, since we have already hosted in 2014.
This is just the first step, and hopefully with the continual support from the pilots in the region, and organizers from different countries, the APO will flourish and become even more.
This first Asia Pacific Open has finally drawn to a close. It was amazing to be amongst so many like-minded people who just enjoy doing the same thing, from all different parts of the Asia Pacific region and all walks of life. The new experiences and knowledge gained, new friends acquired, and laughter shared, really makes this such a memorable event. As the first step in pursuing high level competition, I wish all pilots happy thermals and F3K excellence.

President Barack Obama reacts as he misses a shot while golfing on the first hole at Farm Neck Golf Club in Oak Bluffs, Mass., on the island of Martha's Vineyard on Sunday, Aug. 11, 2013. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin)
EDGARTOWN, Mass. (AP) -- As soon as the skies turned blue and the sun illuminated Martha's Vineyard, the vacationing President Barack Obama hit the links again.
The White House says the president is playing a round of golf with World Bank President Jim Kim, Comcast chief executive Brian Roberts and former U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk.
The game at the Vineyard Golf Club in Edgartown is the third round of golf for Obama since he arrived Saturday on this picturesque Massachusetts island. It's his second match at the Vineyard club.
Heavy rain Tuesday scuttled any golf plans Obama may have had. He played basketball instead.
Before leaving his rented vacation home on Wednesday, the White House said Obama was briefed by national security adviser Susan Rice on the violence unfolding in Egypt.

Some women never reach orgasm, although this can improve with time.
The large majority of women reach orgasm easily through clitoral stimulation. A small minority of women also orgasm via the vagina.
For many specialists, the difference between clitoral or vaginal orgasm is theoretical as clitoral orgasm can initiate vaginal orgasm.
The vagina only generally becomes an organ of "pleasure" with age.
A small proportion of women experience vaginal orgasm if their clitoris is stimulated at the same time.
Female ejaculation
Female ejaculation is when a woman releases liquid at the time of orgasm.
This liquid originates from the urinary tract and can be in significant quantities.

September 28, 2007
The Muslim man that resigned Thursday from the Virginia Commission on Immigration, after online videos surfaced showing him denouncing Israel, spoke out on Friday.
Calling the situation a "smear campaign" Dr. Esam S. Omeish met with
media members Friday morning. His resignation was accepted by
Virginia Governor Tim Kaine.
Omeish, the president of the Muslim American Society, is shown in videos denouncing Israel for actions ranging from its invasion of Lebanon to its alleged "control" of the U-S Congress. The taped incident dates back to the summer of 2006. In another undated video, he tells a crowd of Washington, D.C. Muslims that the "jihad way is a way to liberate your land."
Omeish had the following to say:
"My resignation as a member of the Virginia Commission on
Immigration and as the President of the Muslim American Society
(unintelligible) was submitted to Virginia Governor Tim Kaine.
I submitted the resignation from the commission because of the controversy that erupted following the allegations and the smear campaigns about past activities.
I submitted the resignation willingly to prevent any controversy from distracting the very important work of the commission on immigration and I continue to wish them utmost success in addressing this very vital matter for the future of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
I, while clearly disappointed and dismayed, along with the Muslim community of Virginia wish to continue to work with the Governor and his staff in any future capacity for the betterment of the Commonwealth.
We have appreciated the opportunities in the past and we continue to do so and we will make certain that the betterment of the Commonwealth supreme."

Last week Arctic Monkeys stopped by Australian radio station Triple J and participated in the station's famed Like A Version segment, where bands cover a song of their choice. Arctic Monkeys (Alex & Matt) were up and took on Tame Impala's "Feels Like We Only Go Backwards."
It's an acoustic cover, tackled solely by Turner. Hearing him play it with his British accent gives the song a really pretty feel. I may be biased, but I think he really did the song justice, and then some. The first part of the video clip also features a fun bit.
They also performed "Do I Wanna Know", where Helders adds his vocals as well as some tambourine. Helder also admits his favorite cover of "Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?" is Miley Cyrus'.
Find both performances posted below.
