Belzberg's offices are a great way to show off smart green design to its clients and the LEED Gold rating helps back up its claims. The roof is topped off with drought tolerant California native plants that are irrigated with a super water efficient drip irrigation system. The office achieved a 31% energy savings (compared to standards) with intelligent design, efficient systems and natural daylighting. A photovoltaic system on the roof and west facade produces 12.5% of the building's annual energy demand, and the firms further show their commitment to green energy by buying 70% of their annual power through carbon offset green tags.
In addition, rainwater is collected and infiltrated through permeable paving materials and treated before being returned to the aquifer. The office is located close to public transit, offers bike storage and shower facilities, and priority parking for alternative vehicles and carpools. Almost 85% of the construction waste was recycled, while 30% of the new materials were made with recycled content. Since its completion in 2009, the office building has been awarded the Los Angeles Business Council Architecture Award for Commercial Buildings, the Green Dot Award in 2009, the Interior Design Magazine – Best of the Year Award in 2009, and the Architectural Foundation of Los Angeles (AFLA) Design/Green Honor Award.

I assure you, you will be sick. Ive tried numerous locations in different states. Sick everytime. I'm gluten intolerant. They use the same fryer for all their fried food, and lots of cross contamination. If you look at the menu & see how many items are fried, then you will understand why your bone-in wings that are "NOT' breaded "WILL" make you sick. Everytime I have high hopes- everytime sick. Might as well eat bread.
Their allergy menu lists gluten products. Most traditional wings have gf sauce. Only bone less wings are battered.
224 Hamilton Crossing Drive, Alcoa, TN 37701
I haven't eaten at this location in a long time. But I recently looked at the allergen list and they have added some "GF" items.
1700 Delta Waters Road, Medford, Oregon 97504
Good beer and wings, just not for celiacs.
2137 Polaris Pkwy, Columbus, OH 43240
allergen list. GF beverages
1121 E North Ave, Belton, MO 64012
I called this location and talked to the NEW manager who said he is currently getting his staff ready to be gluten friendly. He said the old management was not set up to be offering gluten free but he in the process of getting things ready to offer gluten free options.
1525 William D Tate Ave, Grapevine, TX 76051
This staff has been the friendliest about dealing with gluten free that we have encountered so far!
289 George Bay Ct, Concord, NC 28027
Always love my GF options at BWW!
5590 W Broadway Ave, Crystal, MN 55428
The manager came over and reviewed the GF list with me, answered all my questions and then checked in with me once my food arrived. I was surprised at the number of choices. Great experience.
1001 Avenue of Mid-America #1, Effingham, IL 62401
No GF bread or roll substitutes however staff seemed accommodating and there is an extensive allergen list online with all of their ingredients! Very helpful.
7800 Airport Blvd, William P. Hobby Airport (HOU), Houston, TX 77061
They do not have a dedicated fryer, not celiac friendly.
5533 Carolina Beach Rd, Wilmington, NC 28412
Allergen list. I eat here often and have never gotten sick!
5590 W Broadway Ave, Crystal, MN 55428
Allergen list can be found online. I've happily enjoyed french fries, nachos, and traditional wings in sauces many many times.
500 South Koeller Street, Oshkosh, WI 54902
Almost all sauces are GF except ones that contain soy sauce, when paired with their traditional wings I'm in heaven. I'm not sure if their fries are made in a dedicated fryer but I've had them multiple times with no issues.
1986 Middle Country Road, Centereach, NY 11720
Wait staff very accommodating and informed in gluten allergies large variety of wings available ( just not boneless ) even gf beer! Nice to go out with friends and be able to eat and not scared ,And have a good time
4325 Norfolk Pkwy, West Melbourne, FL 32904
picture of the gluten free menu. bring your magnifying glass and spreadsheet program to figure out what you can eat. not gf friendly.
205 Constitution Dr #4, West Monroe, LA 71292
I have eaten at various BWW and not gotten sick. Good choices too.
2905 Geyser Dr, Colorado Springs, CO 80906
I called the manager answered and told me if you were gluten free, you cannot eat here, they have no GF menu. Places like this with a straight forward disposition on GF should be avoided. At least they are honest! I would much rather the straight forward no then lie and have us come in and get sick. :)
2700 East Main Street, Farmington, NM 87402
New to town. Love the gf options.
901 Interstate 30 Frontage Road, Rockwall, TX 75087
They were very friendly...but they do not have a gluten free selection at all...the manager made sure that we knew we'd get glutenized...he paid for our tea..then we just left... Glutenized is my word that I MADE UP...so if anyone asked I made it....LOL
1121 E North Ave, Belton, MO 64012
They were honest in the fact that ALL of their food is cross contaminated.
3812 Wards Road, Lynchburg, VA 24502
This is misrepresentation. They use a common frier and common bowls on their sauces. I went through the entire menu and everything was off limits due to preparation. Quite disappointed.
702 West Riverdale Road, Riverdale, UT 84405
Unfortunately this location no longer offers gluten free options per Paula the manager. They are otherwise very friendly and offer great wings. Maybe someday they will change back to offering a great gluten free menu
985 Fort Union Boulevard, Midvale, UT 84047
several options, lots of sauce choices, very accommodating. This is one of my go to places.
1700 Delta Waters Road, Medford, Oregon 97504
They are not Gluten Free! All their food is cooked and fried together. They do not have a dedicated gluten free prep or cooking area!
7345 S Durango Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89148
I usually stick to the boneless skinless grilled chicken tenders and a side salad. No experiences with hidden gluten because I ask them to leave croutons off. Service at this location sucks. I usually drive further to visit the one on Hualapai.
970 S Gilbert Rd, Gilbert, AZ 85296
My son has celiac and was very excited to learn that Buffalo Wild Wings advertised that they had guluten-free menu items and so we went there. Upon asking the waitress what our gluten free options were, she said, "Well chicken doesn't have gluten in it, right? And neither do potatoes, right?" Upon further investigation we discovered that they didn't know if the sauces were GF or not and that everything is cooked in the same oil including onion rings, etc. We were really bummed as we love their food and would love to be able to eat there. I hope they make changes in the future to make them more celiac friendly.
1986 Middle Country Road, Centereach, NY 11720
Ordered off the GF menu & I had an allergic reaction.
4345 Merle Hay Rd, Des Moines, IA 50310
I loved BBWW before I went gluten free. Of course my choices are now limited, I still enjoy eating here. I usually order their naked chicken tenders, without the seasoning, and their fries. They have multiple, great sauces you can still use. To date I have never had a problem. The waitresses are always super attentive to marking down no seasoning. I usually go during lunch or during a less busy period just to cut down on any chances of catastrophe to my gut.
1776 W Prien Lake Rd, Lake Charles, LA 70601
I have been here several times and not been glutened. The original wings and naked tenders are safe, as are the chips and queso and fries.
4325 Norfolk Pkwy, West Melbourne, FL 32904
friendly staff willing to work with our needs
3820 S Broadway St, Minot, ND 58701
Staff not well informed about gluten free but will offer you a allergen list... Way too risky for cross contam. Would not recommend .
2800 Raleigh Rd Pkwy W, Wilson, NC 27896
Staff is very cautious about saying the allergy menu. So I would suggest get regular wings with no sauce and pick a gluten free dip. nachos are good.
13977 Trade Center Dr, Fishers, IN 46038
Messed up our order twice. Had to talk to Manager both times. Food was ok, but we probably won't give it a 3rd try
Lighthouse Plaza Blvd, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971
Waitress was very helpful and knew exactly what I could eat. I had the nachos and had no problems.
2690 Tittabawassee Road, Saginaw, MI 48604
Was brought a salad with croutons and sometimes get a stomach ache after eating here likely cross contamination but they will bring you am allergen menu and try to work with you
2950 South 108th Street, West Allis, Wisconsin 53227
there is no GF menu there. just a hard-to-read chart. with an X or no X. says no separate fryers. a star goes for GF bottled beer. :)
648 Turner St, Auburn, ME 04210
I was really disappointed, the waitress was not informative and do not seem to care. That being said, be careful with the menu. Items listed gluten free are still fried and seasoned in the same fryer and containers as the regular menu items. The honey BBQ salad was good and so far no problems
4736 Frederica St, Owensboro, KY 42301
There wasn't anything that told me about gluten free and also the waiters didn't know
103 Quarry Rd, Downingtown, PA 19335
Wings are super. Most sauces are gf. Their buffalo chips and fries are gf too, not the wedges. Extensive allergen list online.
555 Shelburne Rd, Burlington, VT 05401
Dedicated fryer making the wings safe to eat. Great waitstaff. Even had a menu that listed which sauces for the wings were safe!
2062 Limestone Rd, Wilmington, DE 19808
Ask for sauce on the side because they toss breaded and non-breaded items in the same bucket. No designated dryer.
14157 Steele Creek Rd, Charlotte, NC 28273
Awesome manager and staff. Very knowledgable about allergies! Almost everything there I can eat!
1424 Central Park Cir, O'Fallon, IL 62269
I always get glutenated when I eat here. I have eaten at some other bww and been ok but not this one. I'm never going back
10056 Two Notch Rd, Columbia, SC 29223
Allergen list, which includes gluten, is posted online.
179 Mid Rivers Mall Dr, St Peters, MO 63376
Accommodating staff
289 George Bay Ct, Concord, NC 28027
They had a pretty large selecting of GF items. My child was excited that they had fries. Most restaurant can not provide that simple item.
3820 S Broadway St, Minot, ND 58701
Glutin free
Meeting Boulevard, Rock Hill, SC 29730
Good food, great place
1352 Brandywine Blvd, Zanesville, OH 43701
2136 William Street, Cape Girardeau, MO 63703
The staff isn't very knowledgeable about gluten and other allergens, but they will give you an allergens list when asked. There isn't a large variety of options, but at least there is something.
1986 Middle Country Road, Centereach, NY 11720
Totally a great surprise to find they have a gluten free menu AND beer. My girlfriend is highly allergic and it's hard to take her to goto fun spots like this because it will make her sick and to find they have a gluten free menu that's amazing!

BeardedDork wrote:In your example you are going to be saying that a member of Lord Starl's household did this, if that is the household of the local lord. If a person is not highborn themselves they'll probably want to be careful before accusing a member of a lords household of impropriety. The lord is responsible for the actions of his underlings good and bad.
No, in my example the mother was simply saying some noble was the father, and she herself lives in the North. The bastard's last name has nothing to do with where the noble parent (mother or father) is from, only where the bastard was born (note that a few of Aegon the Unworthy's Great Bastards, such as Aegon Rivers, dispite being bastards of a the King, took the bastard name of the Riverlands).
* Jon Snow being one obvious exception.
BeardedDork wrote:People talk, and before long the mother will have to name someone, then rumors would spread and reputations would be tarnished, in the end it's easier to just kill mother and babe. Clearly that's not generally speaking what happens, though I'm sure it does now and again.
Reputations would not really be that tarnished. Generally speaking, for male nobles, having bastards is a sign of virility. Typically, the disdain is more from having broken an oath of marriage (ie, sleeping with someone not your spouse) rather than the birth of a bastard itself. For women, like all sexist cultures, it is a little worse, but generally for them, the shame is more on their husband (if married, because it's like something being 'stolen' from the husband') or their father (because he's seen as too weak to get a good match for his daughter now).
Heck, remember that Westeros used to have the Lord's right of "first night" - clearly, getting it on outside of marriage isn't that frowned upon.
In no way would it rise to the level of needing to kill parent or babe, except in extreme circumstances. Remember, without the say of the King himself, the noble has absolutely no responsibilities towards the bastard (although some do offer aid), and the bastard has absolutely no rights of inheritance.
The only time we seeing bastards being killed is Cersei's hunt for Robert's brood. In her case though, while she didn't love Robert, she wasn't killing them because they shamed her, she was having them killed because they looked like Robert while Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen didn't, and that led credibility to Stannis' claims of Cersei and Jaime's incest.
In fact, it's quite useful to keep bastards around; Roose Bolton cares not a whit for Ramsay Snow, until his last trueborn son dies. With Dominic's death, the Bolton line looks at its end, until Roose arranges to have his bastard legitimized, and thus, House Bolton can continue (even if he doesn't particularly like his (ex-)bastard sons actions). And being remembered as the guy who let his house die out because he couldn't have one more child is a far worse reputation than having a kid on the wrong side of the sheets.
BeardedDork wrote:But you did hit on the point of the bastard name, you aren't saying anything about the father, could be anybody, lord or baker.
No, not anybody. It has to be a noble, and unless the baker, porter, of stableboy is also a noble, the babe may be a bastard, but doesn't get the name.
Note too, it doesn't have to be the father that's a noble. A bastard born of a noblewoman to a commoner father would also get the regional bastard name.
BeardedDork wrote:Edit: reviewing the Bastards on A wiki of Ice and Fire we can see that if a Bastard's father can be narrowed down to belonging t a single house which is usually going to be the case if only highborn sire bastards with Bastard's names, they are often but not always styled as "The Bastard of _____"
I don't know if we can read a whole lot from those. Sure, it might be useful as a way to clarify who Ser Daemon Sand or Ser Rollard Storm are affiliated with, but I don't know if just having that sort of stylization means anything, except convenience. That said, those bastards probably are more accepted, given that they have some position of importance in their houses, but they are ones they earned by knighthood, rather than blood.
Note too, that those aren't titles to be earned, just nicknames, akin to "The Mountain That Rides" or "The Bold".
BeardedDork wrote:We also see at least one example of a bastard with a Bastard's name not sired by a highborn, Walys Flowers .
Walys' mother was a Hightower. Again, only one parent need be noble, not just the father.

The recent Labor Day weekend had friends and I discussing the changing job market. Many of us had launched into second (and even third) career paths, something that certainly wasn't expected when we initially graduated from college. This got me to thinking of others who have a secondary career path (or sometimes even just a second job!); the writers who keep me supplied in romances.
Contrary to what many in the media may think, an author does not, as Eileen Dreyer so succinctly put it, choose this path because she is "a sexually frustrated loser dressed in a robe and bunny slippers who lives in a dreary apartment with my cat and lives vicariously through my devastatingly beautiful heroines." Most seem to choose it because it is a girlhood dream. And many, many, many of them come to writing only after having pursued another career first. I am fascinated by the diversity of what those careers are and thought others might be to. So here it is, a cataloging of what several of the greats did before they were romance writers.
Linda Howard worked at a trucking company, which explains to me at least why she can create such realistic men. I would imagine working in a male dominated field like that would show one a great deal about how the opposite sex thinks. Susanna Kearsley was a museum curator, and I think that is reflected in the wonderful historical settings of some of her novels. Justine Davis was in law enforcement before being a writer. She writes authentic romantic suspense with an authentic flavor now. And Inez Kelly was a 911 dispatcher and Linnea Sinclair worked as a private detective and also a news reporter before taking on romantic science fiction. Sandra Brown also worked as a reporter, and Pamela Clare "went to work for a newspaper and held almost every position in the newsroom before becoming the paper's first woman editor." Karina Bliss, who has received a DIK here at AAR for Here Comes the Groom, worked as a travel journalist. And Carla Kelly? Well, among her many and varied careers, she has worked as a park ranger and was a Valley City Time Record feature writer.

This is great sends my baby boy back to sleep in minutes I would recommend and would buy this again if I need to !!
We have tested out this product but as our baby hasn't arrived yet, I can't comment on the effect it has but it seems to create a relaxed and soothing environment, perfect for sleep time.
Its a really nice looking product and its not bulky. I am personally not sure on the music or the heartbeat but I'm sure a little one wont care. also the colours are blue, green and red not amber as description says.
Does not seem to have that much of a calming impact on my baby when she is unsettled at night, but I still put it on and it is nice to have.
Product is very easy to use. Has a lovely tone whilst playing music and the lights look lovely reflecting on the ceiling! Top buy

Sergio Perez has hit back at "those who still doubt", saying money may buy a race-seat but "never" the results.
Speaking at last weekend's Autosport International, Paul di Resta revealed that he had held talks with McLaren about a race-seat for this year's Championship.
However, instead of signing the Scot, McLaren opted to give the drive to TelMex-backed Perez. Di Resta hinted that it was the money that secured the job for the Mexican driver.
"There's a commercial side and money's tight," said the Force India driver. "Perez has some good backing."
Perez has hit back saying his results, which included three podium finishes with Sauber last season, speak for themselves.
"The money can buy you a seat but never the results," the 22-year-old wrote on Twitter.
"Say that to those who still doubt."

Tried the hard mode a bit yesterday, was a bit unclear on the precise sequence of events in the transition. How long do you wait before sending in a tank + healers to the shadow realm (is there a particular reason to rush) and to what extent do you need to clear up the embers/infernos. We were having enough trouble getting to 75% that it was hard to tell quite what was going wrong at that point, but it seemed like there was probably a trick to it (perhaps delaying 75% until a previous set of adds were cleared up). Any tips?
The way my guild handled the mini-bosses was as follows:
Baltharus: We pulled him to the large open area south of where he starts. The OT stood at maximum taunt range away, going towards the portal, while the MT kept him facing the wall back there. Everyone else was spread out behind him. The OT taunted him the minute he did his whirlwind thing so he'd run straight at the OT and not hit anyone else. When there was a clone, both tanks would basically switch whatever Baltharus they would be tanking whenever one would do a whirlwind (e.g. if I was tanking the real one, and the clone did a whirlwind, I would taunt the clone and the OT would taunt the real one). Obviously all DPS was on the real one (marked by a skull) at all times.
Saviana: Tanked her facing the pool of water, and that was really it, just people who were marked had to run away. Easiest of the three IMO. I'm not sure if she resets aggro after she flies up so just to be safe I would taunt+Avenger's Shield to make sure I picked her back up.
Zarithrian: Hardest of the three IMO. We basically had one tank on the boss, one to pick up the adds which proved VERY hard since one comes from each end of the area, and both are casters so they don't have to come near you. We had a bit of trouble with the taunting off stuff since the tank on Zarithrian would have to AOE to pick up the casters, and the tank on the adds would have to break them to run to Zarithrian. We managed to do it but it was very messy, and I'd appreciate any better tips
Unfortunately for all that, we only got into Phase 2 on Halion himself since people were being cleansed before running to the end so there were void zones basically right under the boss.
Decent discussion over there about the trash and mini bosses.

We were having some issues with our first attempt on normal mode in RS 10. I'm wondering if anyone can confirm or disprove this theory I came up with. The basis for this theory assumes two thing. The orbs always spawn in the same place at the start of phase 2. The orbs proceed 180 degrees around the perimeter every 20 seconds.
I believe I found a secret to the beams and moving around. I watched the video's carefully and believe the beams are on an exact timer. If the illustrations are correct and accurate more than just an example, then I also believe the orbs take exactly 20 seconds to rotate 180 degrees around the circle. This means that the beam always starts on a line exactly where the last one ended. This means the beams are completely predictable.
I propose the following strategy then...
The first beam will start when the orbs are lined up North and South. It will end when lined up with East and West. Because the orbs are moving clockwise, if the raid positions in the Northwest corner, they will not have to move at all for the entire beam duration.
The second beam starts when the orbs are lined up East and West and ends on North and South. So if the tank aligns Halion's head to the West/Southwest, and the raid positions in the lower Southwest corner, again...they will not need to move to avoid the beam.
On the third beam, it will be just like the first. So the tank moves Halion's head to the North/Northwest and the raid repositions in the Northwest corner again. From here on it's just alternating between the Northwest and Southwest corners. If my perception and calculations are correct, this is all that's needed to stay clear of the beams.

I strongly doubt this will work on heroic. But we kind of zerg'd the first time by accident since I only heard "take the adds" and no one said "taunt off"; so I just took the adds.
The basic strategy for the twilight realm is simple. Let the orb pass you while it is inactive and start kiting to chase it. The first one you will likely end up chasing longer depending on your initial position when you first enter. While it is active, kite the boss chasing the cutter. When it deactivates, stop kiting and wait until they flip all the way around and resume kiting after the next other orb passes you. It takes a little getting used to but this is significantly easier on both the raid and the tank than trying to flip the dragon back and forth risking the raid being hit by breaths and cleaves.
Another reason you actually want to kite the boss the correct way is because of the void zones. You will almost always drop one during a cutter and one when the cutter isn't active. If you only have two positions you are standing in, you are always standing in a void zone. If you actually kite the boss around the circle as intended, the void zone on the other end is cleared before you get back to that point in your path.

I'm in need of some clarification on the phase 2 transition for both 10 an 25 Hard mode.
I'm having people dieing from cleave as they're entering the shadow realm. What should we do to prevent this? I tried moving him out a lil bit, but that ends up screwin me over with the beams.
We tried this strat. Our raid was not behind the dragon but on the side as shown in the video. Whenever we ran straight through the dragon we got stunned. I am wondering if there is a spot along the side of the dragon that is ideal to run through where you don't get stunned or cleaved or if the stun was just dealt with as part of the strat.
How are you splitting up the healers and dps on heroic mode, and what general dps benchmarks are you using? Based on our experience so far, I would ideally go with 6 ranged dps and 4 melee with strong cleave abilities in the physical realm, 5 melee in the twilight realm, 3 tanks, 7 healers. Because we aren't such a melee heavy guild though, I've been sending in a few of our more mobile ranged dpsers (affliction warlocks, shadow priests) into the Twilight realm for Phase 3 as well to make sure we have enough cleave damage on the fire spawns in the Physical realm.
How many ranged dps should we expect it to take to kill each Infernal? It looked like we could mostly ignore the small adds and let passive AoE damage take care of them in phase 1, and shouldn't be much of a problem in phase 3 either with a little more focus on AoE damage.
In phase 3, I split the groups with 10 in the Twilight Realm (1 tank, 4 healers, 5 dps) and 15 in Physical (2 tanks, 3 healers, 10dps).

After our second week trying hard mode, we decided to use Heroism on P1 so we get only two infernals.
P2 is just avoid mistakes, we left 1 healer and 1 tank above.
But our problems comes on transition to P3 when the tank (warrior) is most of the times 2 shotted or healers cant keep him up for longer even chaining cooldowns, shield wall, guardian spirit, last stand, trinkets, guardian spirit again and so on. The tank is full 277
I checked as all dps is dowsntairs, most of the times upstairs we get a 10 or 15% dmg increase instantly.
So r we doing something wrong?? How we can improve tank survival, should we stop dps downstairs untill dps is balanced on both realms??
if you're not hitting enrage timers, there's simply no reason to try to explode so fast during that transition. If that's where your warrior is dying as he's trying to get set up with only 1 healer just have your DPS hold until you're set up. trying to edge out any dps like that prematurely just means they'll have to stop dps'ing at another point in the fight to let the top catchup anyways, so whats the point? Also make sure your healer outside is pre-healing as the transition hits, if he/she waits till the dragon spawns and starts wailing on your reality tank he's gonna die before she gets off a heal.

Albatross Honored - 2012 National Sea Scout Flagship
IRVING, TX -The Sea Scout Ship Albatross has been selected as the 2012 National Flagship by the Boy Scouts of America. 2012 is the 100-year anniversary of the Sea Scout program, which will be celebrated by over 7000 Sea Scouts and their communities throughout the United States.
BoatUS and Sea Scouts, BSA recognizes Sea Scout Ship 72, S.S.S. Albatross from Martinez, California, chartered by Security Owners Corporation of the Mt. Diablo Silverado Council as the recipient of the 2012 National Flagship Award. The award was created by BoatUS in 2002 to mark the 90th anniversary of Sea Scouts. It is presented in recognition of excellence in program quality, youth achievement, and adult commitment. It is these attributes, as reflected by the S.S.S. Albatross and its exemplary program of seamanship and youth development, that we honor them with this award.
A heartfelt congratulation goes to Ship Boatswain Catherine Murphy-Bevan, Skipper Adam Mollwitz, and the dedicated S.S.S. Albatross crew and adult volunteers. The S.S.S, Albatross name will be inscribed on a perpetual trophy now on display at the National Scouting Museum in Irving, Texas. An identical trophy will be presented to the ship's leadership at the 60th Ancient Mariner Regatta, onboard the USS Hornet, in Alameda California.
As a part of the Ship's qualifications, they met or exceeded all national standards as a part of their application for consideration. The ship's quarterdeck and skipper completed a full application and provided support through written summary of their accomplishments and activities they participated in during this past year.
Since 1932, the Sea Scouts have been an active part of the Martinez Community, and the Western Region. This year the ship is participating in the Relay for Life, as well as hosting two Regattas.
The Albatross Sea Base, with the help of the crew, parents, and the adult staff, has become the training center for several units of the area. The Albatross main training vessel is a 65 foot ex-Navy torpedo Retriever from 1968, aptly named "Albatross". Their other training vessels include a ski boat named "Little Tross", a runabout named "Tadpole", a whaleboat named "Shanagagines", and other small sail and powerboats.
The co-ed Albatross crew works hard and plays hard: learning to maintain their boat; learn new skills; and compete in a wide array of events. A few highlights of their activities include:
An official Sea Scout SALUTE goes to Ship 72, S.S.S. Albatross for their efforts. We wish them well as they continue to promote water safety and provide a quality Sea Scout program to the youth of their area.
