A boat owner who thinks his boat is worth more than it is will pick a broker who tells him what he wants to hear. (Same for home owners and realtors.) So in order to get listings, brokers often have to list unreasonably high and wait however long it takes for the seller to soften his price.

Sometimes the seller doesn't want to sell and is happy to keep using the boat. Sometimes the seller just doesn't have time to worry about it and thinks someone will come along if he waits long enough. Sometimes the seller is dead and the heirs are arguing over the right strategy.
But one thing is for sure - the vast majority of boats that you will see have been on the market a long time and will remain on the market a long time. The few that are well cared for and have motivated sellers will get snatched up before you ever see them, or right after you see them if you don't act quickly.
So it's this tough situation where you can get lulled into slow action because you think nothing sells quickly, but if you find "the boat" you'd better act quickly because everyone else is looking for the same high level of maintenance that you are.

Shopping at Aldi is my new thrill! 2 new locations in Huntsville AL
4 comments:
Where did that open? I was really disappointed by the one in Homewood when we first moved here. I was so excited because I used to shop at one in Austria, but there was nothing German in the entire store except maybe some chocolate that you could find anywhere. Glad yours is more impressive!ReplyDelete
Hi Anna - just found your blog, loving the recipes! At my place, I do all the cookin' and shoppin', so always glad to find good recipes. I'm also an unrepentant yard-saler (and former Huntsville boy - Roll Tide!), so I'm finding plenty o' good stuff to read - thanks!ReplyDelete
Also glad to see you share the Aldi love - they're one of my favorite obsessions. Every shopping trip's a new adventure...!
Stephie: Huntsville has two Aldi's now. Both on 72. One in Madison in front of the TJ Maxx and one near Sparkman Drive. Unusual yours didn't have much German food. These had frozen German strudels (Spinach and Zucchini) and Frozen German Potato Cakes as well as dried Spaetzel and spiced red cabbage. I really wish ours had alcohol like other states though!ReplyDelete
Jeff: I'm so glad you found my blog! I got some great tips off of your Aldi blog!
This store sounds awesome. I've never heard of it, but I'm sure I drove right past it when I was in Madison the other week. Sounds like it's similar to Trader Joe's? Definitely going to have to stop in.ReplyDelete
Thank you for taking interest in this blog! I love comments and I will try to respond to them all. If you enjoy my posts, I encourage you to sign up and follow it on blogger. Thanks! -Anna

Cowboys to draft a quarterback?
APR 09, 2013 11:53p ET
How about the next level, with players like Ryan Nassib, E.J. Manuel, Tyler Wilson, Tyler Bray, Zac Dysert, Mike Glennon, Mike Scott and Landry Jones among the names?
I say there is evidence you're still too high.
Let the guessers consider those names while you know the facts: Finding a long-shot candidate to someday be the successor to Tony Romo is on Dallas' things-to-do list. But with just six picks in the upcoming NFL Draft, the Cowboys might not be able to afford to take a projected third-stringer (a QB who would sit behind Romo and Kyle Orton) high.
What they can do it take extensive looks at quarterbacks who are far less coveted.
Quarterbacks like Tanner Marsh of Arkansas Tech, Kyle Padron of Eastern Washington and Jake Mullin of McMurry University.
Who? Who? Who?
I can offer up those names because I'm told those three players, due to their regional connections, are expected to participate in Wednesday's "Dallas Day" at Cowboys Stadium. To my knowledge, none of the more heralded QBs mentioned above have engaged in visits with the Cowboys. That doesn't rule them out as draft prospects, of course.
But Marsh, Padron and Mullin – none of whom have the cache to rank on anybody's mock draft board – might be lucky to be seventh-round guys. Oh, and Dallas doesn't even have a seventh-rounder right now, so one of these fellas might land at Valley Ranch as an undrafted rookie free agent.
It's not as sexy or headline-grabbing as tossing the word "Cowboys" into a story that includes a mention of "Romo" and "Geno Smith" or whomever … but it's the truth regarding the real work being done, and the real names being explored, at Cowboys HQ.

The Real
Bosphorus Cymbals has established in 1996 by three master cymbal smiths, Hasan Seker, Ibrahim Yakici and Hasan Ozdemir. They are called as Masters because they are the most experienced cymbal smiths in Turkey who are still working actively.
The Masters started to work at a cymbal workshop in 1983 when they were 11-12 years old. At the beginning it was a summer time job but they loved what they have been doing and they decided to quit the school and continue working. Their teachers were Mehmet Tamdeger and Agop Tomurcuk who were also the owners of the workshop. During their service for that company for 16 years, they have learned everything and became master cymbal smiths. Even during that period they were being noticed by the visitors with their fine work.
They quit from the company after 16 years because of some disagreements with their bosses and established their own company. But even today they have good relationships with their former employers. Masters never gave up showing respect to their teachers.
Today our company has 16 cymbal smiths and 8 of them is being trained since the first day and became master cymbal smiths. The rest of our team is still in training period to be a master. The Masters are still working in the workshop with their employers and guiding them to create the perfect cymbals with their nearly 30 years of experience.
Bosphorus Cymbals became a global brand and a leading company because of the perfection of the product lines and revolutionary approaches to the production of traditional Turkish cymbals. Some of our product lines like Master Vintage Series™, described as "one of the most inspiring cymbals ever made" at some magazine reviews.
The manufacturing method of Bosphorus Cymbals is %100 Handmade. It means we are manufacturing cymbals only with the traditional method and without using any kind of technology like machines or computers. That is why Bosphorus Cymbals factory is looks like an old workshop instead of a big manufacturing facility. The factory has capacity to make 30 cymbals a day which means every single piece of our product is a limited edition for global market.

Aldermen set utility rates for city
The Mayor and Board of Aldermen literally hope their new rates will hold water as they go into effect early this fall.
With a unanimous vote on July 6, the board approved a new water and sewer rate structure. Rates will follow those used by the Tunica County Utility District. Residential customers will pay $12 a month for water up to 6000 gallons, plus $10 per month for sewer services up to 6000 gallons. Every 1000 gallons over the minimum will cost $2 for water and $3 for sewer. Commercial customers are divided into three different categories: small, large and hotels, motels and apartment complexes. Small commercial businesses are defined as those who will use less than 15,000 gallons a month. They will pay $12 for water up to 6000 gallons and $2 for every 1000 gallons over that. They will pay $18 for sewer services up to 6000 gallons and $3 for every 1000 gallons over the minimum.

It's a same old drill: you get a cold, see the doctor, get a prescription. And you assume those pills are making you better, but the FDA says for decades, doctors have been prescribing pills that don't work.
Wednesday, the agency announced it's pulling 500 unapproved cold and allergy meds like Lodrane, Cardec and Pedia-hist from the market.
"If you look at this list it's actually quite simple," Dr. Richard Wingert of Cape Coral Ear Nose and Throat explained. "There's only about 10 different ingredients on here and everything is simply a reformulation of about 10 basic ingredients. I am not amazed at this because I see how many formulations and concoctions these things are. Every manufacturer has one."
Officials say some have potentially risky combinations of ingredients, while others marketed as "timed-release" may release active ingredients too slowly or too quickly.
"It doesn't have a therapeutic effect and that's what we want," Wingert said. "Every drug goes off right away, and it's supposed to be a long-acting, sometimes a 24-hour drug."
Experts also concerned some are inappropriately labeled for use by infants and children.
Companies have 90 days to stop manufacturing and 180 days to stop shipping. The FDA assures consumers, there are still plenty of other medications on the market that do meet FDA standards.

The collection: waterfowl calls are valued as American folk art.
Dedicated waterfowlers tend to be among the most addicted of collectors. They never seem to accumulate enough camouflage clothing, guns, ammo, art work, decoys, boats, motors and maybe most of all, game calls. A lanyard of calls around a hunter's neck proves membership in the royal fraternity of marsh men and river rats.
One of my favorite stories about stockpiles of gear occurred several years back. A guy (who for obvious reasons will go unnamed) grew tired of a bunch of old, unusable wooden decoys Grandpa had stored in the shed. The old blocks were always in the way just gathering dust, and providing a haven for spiders and bugs. Finally, the decoys were carted to a burning pit and set ablaze Verb 1. set ablaze - set fire to; cause to start burning; "Lightening set fire to the forest"
set afire, set aflame, set on fire
combust, burn - cause to burn or combust; "The sun burned off the fog"; "We combust coal and other fossil fuels" . Some time after the fire, the guy commented to a pal, "Got more room in the shed because I burned those old wooden decoys Grandpa bought years ago from some fellow in Henry, Ill."
Certainly, Grandpa turned over in his grave, as did Charles Perdew. The guy who burned a fortune of the most collectable of wooden decoys didn't have a clue. But he did have more room in the shed for junk.
Being the first-born male of my generation into a family of hardcore waterfowlers, I had little choice but to take the torch and continue the tradition as a camo-clad warrior. After some training and being found worthy, my reward was my grandfather's old black hard rubber D-2 Olt duck call. The call was to be blown sparingly and proudly displayed as part of my hunting attire.
In 1950, the Canada goose Canada goose
Brown-backed, light-breasted goose (Branta canadensis) with a black head and neck and white cheeks. Subspecies vary in size, from the 4.4-lb (2-kg) cackling goose to the 14.3-lb (6.5-kg) giant Canada goose, which has a wingspread of up to 6.6 ft (2 m). flute call, an invention of Olt employer Al Sonderman, took the waterfowl waterfowl, common term for members of the order Anseriformes, wild, aquatic, typically freshwater birds including ducks, geese, and screamers. In Great Britain the term is also used to designate species kept for ornamental purposes on private lakes or ponds, while in world by storm. On my 12th birthday, an Olt A-50 goose call was added to the hand-woven lanyard.
Most mothers had strict rules about practice sessions when boys tried to imitate the calls of the majestic birds. Thus, as a pre-teen, my life as a game call collector had begun, and little did I know the enjoyment, entertainment, friends and travel the tools of the waterfowl trade had in store for me.
I hunted the flats, sloughs and backwaters of the Illinois and mighty Mississippi rivers, and my passion for 'fowling grew, as did my accumulation of duck and goose calls. Some were gifts, but most were purchased at the local hardware store. Most were of the common hunting variety of the day--Lohman, Faulk's, Herter's and Olt. For some strange reason, I kept the boxes in which the calls were packaged.
My collection continued to grow thanks to many of the veterans who retired from waterfowling. Many would give me a call they'd blown during their career stating, "This is to remind you, lad, of the days we shared doing our thing on the river."
Not only did I treasure their gifts, but the memories are priceless.
In 1987, a chance meeting with Illinois wildlife biologist '''
The examples and perspective in this article or section may not represent a worldwide view of the subject.
Please [ improve this article] or discuss the issue on the talk page.
A wildlife biologist is someone who studies wild animals and their habitats. Dave Harper David Douglas Harper (born May 5, 1966 in Eureka, California) was an American football linebacker in the NFL for the Dallas Cowboys. He played college football at Humboldt State University. opened my eyes to the real world of game call collecting. Harper was ingrained in the central and southern Illinois world of waterfowl, first as the son of a duck club manager, next as a guide, and after his college degree, as a dedicated biologist.
Harper asked me if I'd ever seen a $500 duck call.
"No, and neither have you!" I said.
Harper produced a "Carved Mallards" call and explained that a serious collector had offered him $500 for the crown stopper piece. I then recalled an article in an outdoor magazine featuring Gary Rieker, an avid call collector from northern Illinois For the university, see Northern Illinois University
Northern Illinois is a region generally covering the northern third of the U.S. state of Illinois. Economics . Further research produced Rieker's phone number. After a lengthy conversation, during which he suggested an even higher value for the Perdew Carved Mallards call, we scheduled a meeting for Rieker and Harper. My friend, Nick Siemer, and I were invited to the rendezvous with the invitation to bring our calls for inspection and evaluation.
At the meeting, during a discussion about Perdew's famous "Duck's Head," Rieker sorted through my box of "junk." One call caught his attention immediately.
"Where'd you get this call? Would you like to sell it?" he asked. My answer to selling was a simple "no." Rieker identified the old wooden, checkered check·ered
1. Divided into squares.
2. Marked by light and dark patches; diversified in color.
3. Marked by great changes or shifts in fortune: a checkered career. piece as an early J.T. Beckhart. Furthermore, he suggested the Arkansas call had substantial value.
My now-identified Beckhart call had been a gift from a retired senior duck hunter who insisted I add it to my assortment. Although I never used it, the call became very special. I also remembered the old fellow saying he had bought the Beckhart call for $5 in the early 1900s from the maker himself.
The remainder of the Harper/Rieker evening was a learning session on the history of game calls, call values and the hobby of collecting. Rieker's knowledge of American folk art folk art, the art works of a culturally homogeneous people produced by artists without formal training. The forms of such works are generally developed into a tradition that is either cut off from or tenuously connected to the contemporary cultural mainstream. seemed endless as he shared his passion and knowledge about the legends of the waterfowl world. My journey as a true collector reached a new level.
The next step in the dance came from David Jackson David Jackson is the name of several notable men:
- David Jackson (delegate) (1747-1801), American physician, Continental Congressman for Pennsylvania
- David Edward Jackson (1788-1837), American explorer, frontiersman, and trapper
- David S. Jackson (died 1872), U.S.
Philip S. Olt began making duck calls in the late 1800s, and in 1904, started manufacturing and selling his product to hunters in the tradition-rich Illinois River Illinois River
River, northeastern Illinois, U.S. Formed by the junction of the Des Plaines River and Kankakee River in Illinois, it flows southwest across the state, joining the Mississippi River after a course of 273 mi (440 km). Valley. The venture was highly successful. The Olt Company lasted into the 21st century, nearly 100 years. During that time, Olt products dominated the game call business, marketing many varieties of waterfowl calls, as well as calls for owls, crows, squirrel, pheasant pheasant, common name for some members of a family (Phasianidae) of henlike birds related to the grouse and including the Old World partridge, the peacock, various domestic and jungle fowls, and the true pheasants (genus Phasianus). and other game species. Untold thousands were sold throughout the world, and virtually every waterfowl hunter in America possessed a call bearing the P.S. Olt name.
Jackson suggested that my son, Todd, and I attend an event in the spring at St. Charles, Ill., to further our knowledge of calls and collecting. The gathering, hosted by the Callmakers and Collectors Association of America, was a weeklong event attracting waterfowl enthusiasts from across America. After attending the 1988 show, it was apparent the Reid assortment of game calls was not only special to the family, but many were highly sought by collectors.
The purchase of Brian J. McGrath's book, Duck Calls and Other Game Calls, began my study and advanced my appreciation of game calls in general, duck calls in particular. The Texas author was the first to publish a book that pictured, discussed and rated calls as to their place in history and their rareness. Soon to follow McGrath's work would be master duck call maker and major collector Howard Harlan, with his book, Duck Calls, An Enduring American Folk Art. Harlan and W. Crew Anderson's publication gave collectors photos, documentation and detailed information on hundreds of calls.
Additional books that expanded knowledge for the hobby are Christensen's Duck Calls of Illinois, The Arkansas Duck Hunter's Almanac almanac, originally, a calendar with notations of astronomical and other data. Almanacs have been known in simple form almost since the invention of writing, for they served to record religious feasts, seasonal changes, and the like. by Bowman and Wright, Russell Caldwell's Reelfoot Lake and Donna Tonelli's Top of the Line Hunting Collectibles.
The craze of attaining waterfowl memorabilia has grown over the last four decades to the point that never-imagined dollars are paid for special pieces. No one in their wildest dreams would have thought that a shotshell box would sell for $34,000, a Kinney & Harlow duck call for $63,000, carved shorebirds and duck decoys for six figures and an Elmer Crowell goose decoy DECOY. A pond used for the breeding and maintenance of water-fowl. 11 Mod. 74, 130; S. C. 3 Salk. 9; Holt, 14 11 East, 571. for well over a million dollars. Most would say, "Unbelievable." But folks, it's a fact.
Undoubtedly, the Callmakers and Collectors Association of America, founded in 1987, has played a major role in the popularity and enthusiasm for acquiring this American art form. With 370 members in 41 states, Canada and New Zealand New Zealand (zē`lənd), island country (2005 est. pop. 4,035,000), 104,454 sq mi (270,534 sq km), in the S Pacific Ocean, over 1,000 mi (1,600 km) SE of Australia. The capital is Wellington; the largest city and leading port is Auckland. , the organization publishes a quarterly newsletter and a membership directory. They gather at special waterfowl events and host their major rendezvous each year the last week of April in St. Charles, Ill. Modern-day call makers attend the event to display their works of art and compete for special honors in the fancy call contest. The show, which is open to the public, focuses on buying, swapping, trading and spreading the hobby of collecting. Without fail, someone is always shocked as to the value of a piece of family history that Granddad passed along to the kids.
Since the beginning of my waterfowl career, the years have flown by as rapidly as a green-winged teal teal: see duck.
Any of about 15 species (genus Anas, family Anatidae) of small dabbling ducks found on the major continents and many islands. Many are popular game birds. . The Reid call collection numbers more than 200. My collection doesn't come close to the extremists of the hobby. Many of the calls are proudly displayed in our riverside home, my wife says, to remind me of the past and look toward the future. We have a detailed catalog that describes each call, its origin and the date obtained. For some calls, I even wrote a story about the friend who passed it on to me. I take pride in possessing calls of Perdew, Hooker, Beckhart, O'Dean, Allen, Major, Quinn and Harlan, just to name a few. But other calls hold personal significance: Granddad's D-2 Olt, Dad's Lohman, calls I bought as a kid and the variety given to me by the old timers who took the time to train a boy.
It is apparent that once an individual is hooked on collecting, the trend is to acquire more and more. Vintage wooden calls from the early makers seem to be the most sought-after, but modern-day craftsmen have certainly made their mark. In this age of acrylic calls, another generation of collectors has arrived. The attractive, bright, multi-colored calls now dominate the commercial market and are the choice of many hunters, as well as competition callers. Hunting catalogs feature pages of the eye-catching pieces endorsed by pro staffers and world champions.
Many of the calls have gold- or silver-colored bands around the barrels bearing a logo name, some with special edition numbers. The calls of the 21st century are more numerous and attainable than those of the ages gone by.
I could write volumes concerning the history of my collection and calls, but I'm sure you've gotten the message about the passion, pleasure and memories of the tools of the trade. The bottom line: If you're a waterfowler wa·ter·fowl·er
A person who hunts waterfowl. , you are a collector.
On Ernest Hemingway's writing desk in his historic home in Key West, Fla., sits an old wooden decoy and a small sign that reads, "To remind me of a place I'd rather be."
Maybe that is why I collect duck calls.

SPRINGFIELD, MA - A Holyoke man was sentenced on Friday, January 22, 2010 in federal court for Conspiracy and Distribution of Cocaine Base.
United States Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz; Warren T. Bamford, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation - Boston Field Division; Chief Anthony R. Scott of the Holyoke Police Department; Commissioner William J. Fitchet of the Springfield Police Department; Colonel Marian McGovern, Superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police; and Sheriff Michael Ashe of Hampden County announced today that JOHN HARLEY, age 41, of Holyoke was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Michael A. Ponsor to 10 years imprisonment, to be followed by eight years of supervised release. HARLEY pled guilty to Conspiracy and Distribution of Cocaine Base and Possession with intent to Distribute Cocaine Base on July 23, 2009.
At the earlier plea hearing, the prosecutor told the Court that had the case proceeded to trial the Government's evidence would have proven that on November 19, 2007, HARLEY cooked powder cocaine into 25 grams of crack cocaine, which was then sold by a co-defendant.
The case was investigated by the FBI's Western Massachusetts Gang Task Force, a Safe Street/HIDTA Initiative. It was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Alex J. Grant of Ortiz's Springfield Branch Unit.

The 2013-2014 short course season was a year in which many team records were broken. Quad-A swimmers racked up a total of 24 new team records. Antony DeMott and Reese Fye claimed two records a piece in the 11-12 boys' age group. DeMott broke team records in the 100 free (54.17) and 200 fly (2:15.89). Fye set new team records in the 500 free (5:19.18) and 1000 free (10:52.71). David Murphy set nine new 15-16 boys' records and one new open record. Murphy's records were 50 free (21.28), 100 free (46.39), 200 free (1:43.60), 500 free (4:48.33), 100 back (53.54), 100 breast (58.07), 200 breast (2:09.98), 200 IM (1:55.85), and 400 IM (4:14.85). Murphy's 200 IM was also a new open age group team record. On the girls' side, Nicole Fye set eight new records in the 15-16 age group and two open records. Her records came in the 100 free (53.57), 200 free (1:52.79), 500 free (4:56.23), 1650 free (17:05.12), 200 back (2:06.26), 100 fly (57.91), 200 fly (2:02.06), and 400 IM (4:34.74). Her open records came in the 1650 free and 200 fly. This was a great season for Quad-A swimmers. We hope to carry this success into the long course season.
Murphy Competes Against Olympians
The Speedo Champions Series converged on the Mecklenburg County Aquatic Center in Charlotte, N.C. April 13-16 for the Southern Zone Eastern Sectional swim meet. The meet hosted over 500 of the best swimmers in the world including U.S. Olympians Ryan Lochte, (11-time medalist) and Cullen Jones, (four-time medalist). Olympian, Hungarian, and European National Champion, Laszlo Cseh, Dutch Olympian, Dion Dreesens, and numerous NCAA champions were all competing for the Speedo crown. Accompanying the Olympians were local swimming stars David Murphy Jr. and Nicole Fye, from Quad A. The Speedo Champions Series displays some of the top swimming talent from across the United States, with professional and amateur swimmers competing together. The series has several stops scheduled for 2014 which are broken into zones. The Southern Zone Eastern Series is made up of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia. In order to qualify, each swimmer competing must meet a specific USA time standard in the event that he or she is competing. Murphy, representing the Americus Blue Tide, was one of the youngest swimmers in attendance. He qualified in nine events but chose to compete in eight of them during the grueling four-day meet. The events that Murphy entered were the 50, 100, and 200 Yard Freestyle, 100 and 200 Yard Breaststroke, 100 Yard Backstroke, 100 Yard Fly and 200 Yard Individual Medley. On Friday, Murphy finished a strong 10th place in the 100 Breast finals with a time of 58.47 seconds. After the meet on Friday, Murphy left the pool confident in preparation for his early morning heat versus Lochte in the 50 Yard Freestyle. Unfortunately, his confidence was shaken due to thieves breaking the side glass of his car and stealing his swim bag that contained all of his competition gear while he was eating dinner. When Murphy walked into the aquatic center on Saturday morning, the only thing he had in his possession was a borrowed swim cap. He was able to purchase a racing suite and other gear prior to entering the pool for his heat against Lochte. Murphy finished 4th in the heat and 18th overall with a time of 21.54 seconds. When asked how he handled the adversity of losing all of his equipment the night before he was to compete against two Olympians in the 50 Yard Freestyle, Murphy stated, "It was very unfortunate to have someone steal all of my stuff on a night right before one of the biggest races of my career. I had to block it out and focus on the race at the time." Cullen Jones won the event with Lochte finishing a close second place. On Sunday, Murphy regained his confidence and finished 17th in the 100 Yard Freestyle with Lochte winning and Dion Dreesens finishing third. After the meet, Murphy commented on his experience. "It was a great experience to be able to compete against the fastest swimmers in the USA and in the world. This is one of the many beauties of competitive swimming where amateur and professional swimmers compete in the same regional and national competitions." Fye was unable to compete in the meet due to an acute illness.
Quad-A Places Third at Age Group State
The defending Georgia Swimming Short Course State Champions, Americus Blue Tide/Quad A swim team, faced some tough competition in route to placing third in the Division III Georgia 14 and under age group State Championships last weekend. Fifty-five teams and over 1,100 swimmers converged on the Georgia Tech Aquatic Center, with all eyeing the coveted state championship crown. One of the smaller teams in the state, the Americus Blue Tide/Quad A were represented by 12 athletes who all performed to their maximum, with Antony DeMott winning the high point award for 11 year olds with his stellar performance over the three days of competition. On the first day of the meet, Maggie Davis swam to a 12th place finish in the 14-year-old 1000 free. She also claimed 11th place in the 100 fly. Daniel Iordanov placed eighth for the 11-year-olds with a personal best time of 12:54.07, and Reese Fye grabbed a fourth place finisg for the 12-year-olds. Allie Murphy took 17th place in the 50 free for the 14-year-olds. In finals that night, Antony DeMott started out strong with a third place finish in the 200 IM. He then turned around and won the 50 free with an incredible time of 25.30. DeMott would then win another event in the 100 fly with a close, come-from-behind finish. Fye claimed seventh place in the 100 fly, and the 14 and under girls 800 free relay team of Maggie Davis, Allie Murphy, Olivia Thomas, and Jordan Brown finished 17th. On day two, the 12 and under boys 200 medley relay team consisting of Iordanov, DeMott, Fye, and Levi DeMott took home 16th place. Davis then finished 28th in the 200 free, and Kalman DeMott finished 28th in the 200 breast. Fye also claimed 17th in the 50 fly. The girls 200 free relay of Murphy, Davis, Thomas, and Brown swam to a 19th place. The boys 200 free relay took 16th place. Davis then took 22nd in the 400 IM while Iordanov took 15th in the event. In the days finals, Antony DeMott claimed the third spot in the 200 free. He then went on to grab an eighth place finish in the 100 back. He was not done yet, however. In the 50 fly, Demott claimed yet another victory to continue his tremendous meet. Murphy, Thomas, Davis, and Brown went on to take 19th in the 400 medley relay.

From: Americus Blue Tide and Friends of the Deriso Pool!!
We were able to extend our deadline so that we could work out an agreement with Georgia Southwestern. Now, today, just one week into October, we signed a bridge agreement that will lead to a one-year lease (Nov 1, 2012 to Oct 31, 2013), subject to Board of Regents approval. Americus Blue Tide will be responsible for the entire utility and chemical bills, and we will be able to run programs and keep all the revenues. Our strategy is to 1) design a comprehensive list of programs, memberships and partnerships, and then 2) publicize and market them widely.
Our Booster Club is an integral and ongoing part of our strategy and we still need everyone's support to continue and grow the Americus Blue Tide into a sustainable organization. If you have been waiting to contribute until we had a deal in place with GSW, you no longer have to worry. We have a pool!
To all the high school swimmers…get your goggles and swimsuits ready as your season is right around the corner and we have a pool waiting on you.

The Good: It is solid, strong and light! it comes in great colors, chrome loos sick. The sizes it comes in are perfect. This Frame has really good all round geometry.
The Bad: The only thing i would change is make it low cut.
I have had this frame for 6 months now, I haven't had any problems! Its a sweet frame, good work fit!!
The Good: I looked at no reviews before I bought this and then I come on here and see that every review says its perfect. Cant wait to run this frame. I was getting tired of my old atock frame. And its just about to give out. Hopefully I get it soon.
The Bad: Obviously nothing
the frame seems like a solid piece of work. Always can rely on fit (:
The Good: perfect price to quality ratio... strong as fuck ... good wieght about 4.7lbs.. they have sexy colors/ the blue ! raw looks sick.. and now smoked chrome witch looks super sexy.. super tech street frame short back end = easier manuels and spin tricks.. 75.5 heattube angle = easier hang fives/tens and nose manuels .. downtube and toptube gussets ... they have any size u need!
The Bad: Nothing ... last frame im ever gonna buy ... i have the smoked chrome finish on it and im in love with that shit.... for 300$ ur best choice for a street rider... fit wifi!
.................................. Get it....
The Good: Truly I love this frame best frame I had for the 5 years I've been riding. the geo feels amazing , the frame has some weight but who cares! when u ride it u cant even notice any huge weight difference for people who want a light frame, I've tried this frame on park,street and trails, and its really nice going off jumps and coping. and I'm a pretty hard rider, i go for big gaps and so on, and it hold it really nice for just about any riding style!
The Bad: Haven't had a bad thing about it at all.
Truly I love it as you can tell, I will probably never change frames unless this goes and if it does, Im probably gonna get it again! or just send it into warranty and get a new one. but overall I recommend this frame to anyone that likes fit and wants a nice frame for anything and can hold up to some pretty hard impacts!
The Good: short cs, double gussets, steep front end, lower bb
The Bad: have nothing bad to say

Ashtanga Yoga and Scoliosis
Can scoliosis be healed with Ashtanga Yoga? The answer would be both yes and no depending on what type of scoliosis we are talking about and what we mean by healing. There are generally two types of scoliosis: Functional scoliosis which is a structural normal spine with a lateral curve often caused by muscular spasm or a difference in leg length. If the curve is caused by muscular spasm this type could be entirely corrected by yoga. Structural scoliosis involves a lateral curve with a rotation and it is irreversible. This type of...read more
Ashtanga Yoga Myths
There are some misleading myths circulating about Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga discouraging people from taking on the practice. We always stress the importance of keeping the practice clean and connected to the roots and at the same time make it accessible for more people. I do believe that Ashtanga Yoga has gotten a reputation of being something it is not and maybe we can help clarify a little by looking at some of the myths.

What do you do with a Balsamic Glaze
- l
- littlegreenfrog6 Jan 2, 2011 09:27 AM
About a month ago, I purchased a bottle of Balsamic Glaze of Modena, and have become addicted to the stuff. I have also learned that it is quite easy to make and I could have saved myself the money. Nonetheless, I have tried it on fresh strawberries, and made a killer pork tenderloin with mushrooms and dried cranberries. I'd like to hear more suggestions on using it. It seems to really bring out the flavor in foods.
Many years ago I did the same thing - I purchased it but that was the first and only time. Have been making it ever since.
In addition to pork and strawberries I mix it with preserves, such as blackberry, to glaze duck or lamb. It is also lovely drizzled over melons. As with traditional 25-year-old balsamic I drizzle it over Parmesan cheese. I also shave raw asparagus, Parmesan cheese and slice pears onto a platter, toss in some toasted nuts and drizzle with balsamic glaze. It is also good over grilled radicchio.
It is also fun to run lines across the plate for amuse bouche to rest upon. I love doing that with fricos then stuffing the fricos with a goat cheese (or other) mousse.
I never purchased the glaze, but I make it myself by reducing the vinegar with a touch of honey.
My favorite thing is to drizzle it over grilled/roasted vegetables along with fresh mozz. I suppose it would also make a nice glaze for roast chicken or duck. Balsamic glazed carrots, asparagus, pearl onions...very versatile ingredient.
Oops - thought of some more!
Glazed salmon
Drizzled on pears
Glazed pork ribs that has been rubbed with a spicy dry rub
Glazed Flat iron steak
Glazed goat cheese tart or goat cheese cheesecake
I make a pizza with caramelized onions and smoked gouda with balsamic glaze drizzled on top.
-wild mushroom and caramelized onion tart, with a thin bed of ricotta and/or gruyere cheese drizzled with the glaze to finish.
-sauteed chicken with strawberries and balsamic - marinate the strawbs in balsamic; saute chicken, stir in strawberries and mint; serve drizzled with glaze and some feta crumbles
-halibut - marinated halibut in glaze mixed with a little garlic and olive oil; make a bed of asparagus and onions on parchment or foil; lay halibut on top and broil; reduce marinade and serve over fish.
-i use it in a variation on baklava with raspberries... i call if faux-klava.
I have just made some balsamic glaze from a recipe in 'Eat Fresh' by Annabel Langbein (New Zealand).
Combine 1 cup balsamic vinegar with 1/2 cup apple juice and bring to the boil in a small saucepan. Simmer until thickened and reduced to 1/3 cup (about 10-15 minutes - although it took about 1/2 hour for mine to reduce to 1/3 cup). Pour into a bottle and cool to room temperature. Reheat gently to bring to a spoonable consistency. Makes 1/3 cup.
Sauté some fresh spinach in a bit of garlic butter and drizzle the balsamic over it to serve.

Caribbean Island Tanning Center lives up to its tropical name in a literal way, bringing the best of summer indoors with its sandy beach, decorative palm trees, and vibrant collection of blue and yellow beach huts. The salon's beachy vibe doesn't end there, as more than 20 tanning units imbue skin with a bronze hue ready-made for an island vacation. Alongside a Mystic Tan booth with three levels of sunless tanning solutions, the salon features comfortable lie-down beds that harness UV rays to promote a healthy glow. Special leg tanners regulate uneven thigh tones, and a UV teeth-whitening system casts the sun's light on smiles and pasty tooth fairies.
Tommy's Tanning offers customers more than two dozen bronzing options, from single-session spray tans for special occasions to yearly memberships inside five levels of tanning beds. The vertical and horizontal beds imbue skin with color while cooling faces and playing music for a more comfortable tanning session. For UV-free color, VersaSpa spray-tanning booths coat the skin in a streak-free glow, all while the client stands in a comfortable, wide-open interior.
With a focus on safe and healthy skincare, Caribbean Tan bronzes and rejuvenates pallid body plains with pristine, state-of-the-art technology. UV-free red-light therapy stimulates lazy metabolisms and spruces up sagging skin with help from penetrating LED light rays and subliminal messages from L.L. Cool J. Deep layers of collagen and elastin are stimulated by the process, firming the outer surface and improving overall skin suppleness. The crimson beams can also help to reduce existing blemishes and fine lines, correct sun damage, and counteract naturally green complexions.
Beach House Tanning features numerous tanning options—beds, booths, spray tanning, and airbrushing—and a team of certified technicians on hand to help clients navigate them all. For an even, full-body tan, a 12-minute stint in a black energy bed should suffice—160-watt lamps and six facial lamps produce a rich, all-over tan, and full-body air conditioning keeps things comfortable. The S-Class beds add a touch of spa-like extravagance thanks to an aromatherapy feature, which pipes in scents that may evoke visions of a tropical beach or an exotic new car. In addition to its tanning beds, Beach House Tanning also offers VersaPro spray tanning and airbrush tanning, which can be customized to meet each client's unique skin type.

It's episode four of The Voice's blind auditions, with Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green, Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton back in their red-spinning spaceship chairs yet again.
How much fun is this show?
American Idol likes to tout its star-creating power, and The Voice may not have an answer to that until it produces its own Kelly Clarkson ... or even a Scotty McCreery.
Still, it remains a far more entertaining show in many respects, from the diversity of the vocalists trying out, to the rapport between the judges and the unique format.
Who got the stars to turn around Monday and joined Teams Adam, Cee Lo, Blake and Xtina? Let's break down the performances of Monday's Voice aspirants, by team:
Team Adam Levine
Mathai, who covered Adele (never a bad choice nowadays), showed creativity, stage presence and raw vocal talent. Adam was lucky to land this hot commodity.
Adam also snagged Nicolle Galyon, who wants to be the first country music piano girl. She sounds great, despite her obvious problem with nerves. Take a look:
Karla Davis and those two join previous team members Tony Lucca, Kim Yarbrough, Angel Taylor, Pip, Katrina Parker, Chris Cauley and Nathan Parrett.
