The Zoom B3 Bass Effects & Amp Simulator is an all-in-one solution for performing and recording.
The Zoom B3 features 99 world-famous stomp box models, ranging from dynamics and EQs to overdrives, modulations and delays.
The B3 also offers 12 amp models, including some of the world's most popular bass guitar amps, such as the Ampeg SVT, Fender Bassman 100, Hartke HA3500 and Marshall Super Bass. Each one has controls for Bass, Middle and Treble, and can be mixed and matched with any of the effects.
The Zoom B3 has a 1/4-inch jack input for active and passive pickups and stereo outputs for using the B3 as an effects pedal in a pedal chain. There is a balanced XLR output for using the B3 as an amp simulator to plug directly into a mixing desk, with a pre and post effects switch, allowing the effected sound to go to the main outputs while sending the original analog bass guitar signal directly to the XLR output.
There's also USB connectivity, for using the B3 as a recording interface with the included Steinberg Sequel LE recording software, or any other digital audio workstation. The 40 built-in drum rhythms and tap tempo feature enables easy jamming, and the included looper function allows endless fun and experimentation.
Add to the already impressive feature list the built-in tuner and free Edit&Share software for creating, editing and saving your favourite presets and sharing them with others.

Review: customer did not leave any comment here
Pros: + rugged designintuitive controls easy to see display and easy to useclosely recreates each stomp box and ampvalue for money
Cons: - highly addictive
Pros: + Amazing choice of effects, really well thought out interface, straight forward to use and get some great sounds from.
Cons: - Power socket is slightly recessed, meaning that you can't use right-angled power connectors.
Review: Unbelievable for the money. Usable preprogrammed fx right out of the box but also very easy to manipulate and create your own. Some annoying quirks (no patch preselect or method of removing elements of a patch on the fly) hence a star docked. It also doesn't have an expression pedal, I use one for volume so you have to buy this separately. Doesn't muddy and alter the signal path like the Boss ME50-B seems to. If you can demo it first then even better but even buying blind you won't be disappointed.
Review: Excellent unit at the best price. Well done dv 247. The Zoom B3 is very easy to use and with a little effort it's possible to produce patches for use in a wide array of situations.

The Jelly Belly Candy Company , formerly known as The Herman Goelitz Candy Company, makes the Jelly Belly jelly bean and other candy.[2] The company is based in Fairfield, California, and produces more than 37 million pounds (17,000 tons) of candy annually[3] at its Fairfield, North Chicago, Illinois, and Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, facilities, which have nearly 800,000 square feet (74,000 m2) of production space among them. In October 2008 the company opened a 50,000 square foot manufacturing plant in Rayong, Thailand where it produces product for markets outside the USA.[3]
Jelly Belly Candy Company, manufacturer of Jelly Belly jelly beans and a wide range of confections, is a family owned and operated business now in its sixth generation of candy making. Jelly beans have been around since the 1890s, but Jelly Belly Candy Company claims to have made one of the first gourmet jelly beans in 1976. "We were making candy corn before then and we were starving," said Herman Rowland. In 1976, David Klein, a candy and nut distributor, approached the Herman Goelitz Candy Company (now Jelly Belly Candy Company) and requested a new type of jelly bean with "natural" ingredients sold in single flavors.[4][5] Fruit purees and juice concentrates were added to the natural ingredients of the Herman Goelitz Candy Company Mini Gourmet Jelly Bean, and the Jelly Belly jelly bean was born.
Jelly Belly Candy Company traces its roots to the entrepreneurial efforts of Gustav Goelitz, who came to the United States in 1866 and with his younger brothers, Albert and George. They built a successful confectionery business: Gustav Goelitz Candy, in Belleville, Illinois, and later Goelitz Brothers' Candy in St. Louis, Missouri.[6] Gustav Goelitz learned to make candy in America and was in business for himself by 1869 in Belleville, Illinois. Gustav Goelitz was joined by his brother, Albert, and together they sold handmade candies from a horse-drawn cart. The Goelitz name developed a reputation for quality confections as the brothers expanded operations. Fourth-generation Goelitz descendent, Herman G. Rowland, Sr. and his parents, Ernest Rowland and Aloyse Rowland (maiden name Goelitz) continued the expansion of the company's products on the west coast in Oakland, CA then moving to Fairfield, CA. The Herman Goelitz Candy Company was the first American manufacturer to make a gummy bear for the US market. They also made candy corn, mellocremes, gummi worms, and giant jelly beans. Confectioner Marinus van Dam was employed by the company to manage the plant and oversee new product development including Jelly Belly jelly beans, obtaining a candy manufacturing degree in the Netherlands. He emigrated to the United States and went to work for the Herman Goelitz Candy Company in the 1960s. He rose to the level of vice president before moving on to other companies and finally starting his own business, Marich Confectionery.
Traditional jelly beans start out with plain, uncolored pectin centers that are merely sweetened with sugar, with only their outer coating colored and flavored. With the Jelly Belly jelly bean, the company uses real fruit juices and natural flavors when possible to flavor the center with the intent of improving flavor. The flavor-enhancing process is also used on the outer candy shell. The finished Jelly Belly jelly beans are half the size of normal jelly beans.
David Klein sold the first Jelly Belly jelly beans in an ice cream parlor, Fosselman's, in Alhambra, California in 1976. The first flavors were Very Cherry, Tangerine, Lemon, Green Apple, Grape Jelly, Licorice, Root Beer, and Cream Soda. Total sales for the first seven-day period was $44. The product was selling for $2 per pound, which was considered a very high price at the time. Klein is no longer associated with this jelly bean and has his own company which makes David's Signature Jelly Beans.
Jelly Belly jelly beans were a favorite of U.S. President Ronald Reagan, who kept a jar of them on his desk in the White House, Blair House and on Air Force One.[2] Ronald Reagan also made them the first jelly beans in outer space, sending them on the Shuttle Orbiter Challenger during the STS-7 mission in 1983, as a surprise for the astronauts.[2] Presently, Jelly Belly Candy Company is a member of the World Cocoa Foundation.
Jelly Belly officially has 50 flavors (originally 40) that are made year-round. Additionally, Jelly Belly produces "rookie" flavors that sometimes are added to the jelly beans in the 50 official flavors if they become popular enough.
The Jelly Belly Candy Company unveiled the Jelly Belly jewel collection on National Jelly Bean Day, April 22, 2013. The Jelly Belly jewel collection features Jelly Belly jelly beans with an iridescent sheen. The original seven flavors for the Jelly Belly jewel collection are listed below. [8]
Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans were based on a product featured in the Harry Potter book series. These can be found in Hot Topic stores, the Islands of Adventure theme park in Orlando, Florida, Toys R Us, online, and select book stores. They are ambiguously colored and consist of a mixture of the original jellybean flavors, as well as some unique, less pleasant ones like grass, vomit, rotten eggs, and boogers. The brand is sold under license to Frankford Candy & Chocolate Company, which bought Cap Candy, a division of Hasbro.
According to the Harry Potter Lexicon,[9] flavors may include sardine, black pepper, grass, horseradish, vomit, booger, earwax, dirt, earthworm, spaghetti, spinach, soap, sausage, pickle, bacon, and rotten egg.
Jelly Belly BeanBoozled jelly beans have weird and wild flavors that mimic the flavor and corresponding color of a conventional Jelly Belly jelly bean. The first edition introduced in 2008 included the flavors of Skunk Spray, Rotten Egg, Ear Wax, Booger, Baby Wipes, Pencil Shavings, Toothpaste, Vomit, Moldy Cheese, and Black Pepper.[10] The second edition in 2009 added the flavors of Canned Dog Food and Centipede. The flavor Vomit was renamed Barf. The flavors of Earwax and Black Pepper were dropped. The 3rd edition released in 2013 added the flavors of Stinky Socks and Lawn Clippings. The flavors of Pencil Shavings and Centipede were dropped.[11][12]
Jelly Belly also produces sugar-free jelly beans that come in these flavors:
They are sweetened with Splenda and maltitol. In addition to sugar-free jelly beans, all varieties are certified OU Kosher by the Orthodox Union.[13]
JBz were a candy manufactured by the Jelly Belly Candy Company starting in 2003. Meant to capture the popularity of both Jelly Belly jelly beans and M&M's candies, JBz were chocolate candies covered with Jelly Belly-flavored shells. Some 20+ flavors were used for JBz, but they never caught on and were discontinued in 2009.
Among the Jelly Belly flavors used for JBz shells were Raspberry, Coconut, Strawberry Cheesecake, Juicy Pear, Apricot, Cappuccino, Very Cherry, Ice Blue Mint, Cotton Candy, Top Banana, Honey Graham Cracker, Orange Juice, Licorice, Green Apple, Sizzling Cinnamon, Grape, Blueberry, Buttered Popcorn, Toasted Marshmallow and Tutti Fruitti.[14] A "chocolate lovers" assortment was also made that included Chocolate Cappuccino, Chocolate Caramel, Chocolate Coconut, Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Chocolate Vanilla.[15] By:Trent
Jelly Belly now also makes Fruit Gems under license from Sunkist.[16] Sunkist-branded Jelly Bellys are also available and come in citrus flavours that include lemon, orange, grapefruit, lime, and tangerine. In 2012 the flavors of Fruit Gems were changed to lemon, orange, grapefruit, raspberry and blueberry.[17]
Jelly Belly Gourmet Soda is a gourmet soda line that was introduced by WIT beverages in October 2009.[18] Made with cane sugar and containing 90 calories per bottle, the new line has ten flavors, including: Lemon Drop, Sour Cherry, French Vanilla, Blueberry, Green Apple, Crushed Pineapple, Tangerine, Juicy Pear, Strawberry, and Very Cherry.
Jelly Belly TABASCO flavour beans are produced under licence from the McIlhenny Company, the makers of tabasco sauce. These beans are flavoured using the hot sauce itself, and come in bags or in bottles shaped like that of tabasco sauce.[19]
Jelly Belly Flops are "irregular jelly beans" which can come in any flavor or color that the company has produced. Some are misshapen, others are conjoined, and some might not even have the logo stamped on them. The colors might not even match the flavors of the beans. The Flops have been rumored to be factory rejects. [20]
The company operates two manufacturing plants in Fairfield, Calif., and in North Chicago, Ill. A third facility is a distribution center in Pleasant Prairie, Wis., which offers public tours. In October 2008 the company commenced production of Jelly Belly beans at its new factory in Rayong, Thailan, largely producing beans for areas outside the US.
The Jelly Belly Factory in Fairfield, California, has daily tours and was named "Best Factory Tour in America" by a 2005 Reader's Digest article. The tours, which are free, take visitors along suspended walkways over the rooms where the candy is manufactured, stopping them from time to time to watch video segments about what is going on below. A feature of the tour are several portraits made entirely of Jelly Belly jelly beans, including U.S. presidents Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.[21][22] Free product samples are distributed after the tour, while other products may be purchased in the gift shop.
Another public tour in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, operates daily and takes visitors on an indoor electric train ride through the facility to learn how candy is made, see retired manufacturing equipment, and watch shipping.
A portrait of Ronald Reagan made of Jelly Belly jelly beans is displayed at the visitor center.

It's time to look at the Supporting Actresses, a category filled with four actresses we know and love (no disrespect to Bree Williamson; we just don't know her, but we're sure the OLTL viewers will have lots to say).
Tamara Braun (ex-Ava, Days Of Our Lives)
Our Take: Back before she headed to Pine Valley and assaulted AMC viewers with the character of Reese, Tamara Braun was pretty much note perfect as the crazy Ava on Days of Our Lives. Her psychotic breakdown, and moments of genuine pain and heartbreak, make this a pretty fabulous, entertaining reel. Plus, the gallery of "What fresh hell?" facial expressions on Bo, Hope, Steve and Kayla is enlessly enjoyable.
You know the drill: after the jump, watch the other actresses, vote, and then immediately change your mind because you can't choose which deserving actress deserves it most.

The Lady Tigers will open the season against French Camp at 10 a.m. and will play Leake County at 11:30 a.m..
Helms, who comes over in his first season coaching slow pitch, said although the pace is not as fast as fast pitch, he likes the action.
"I like it a lot," Helms said. "It's a slow game, and it's a hitter's game. That's one thing we do have, and that's hitters."
The season, the Lady Tigers will look for a seventh straight season to make an appearance in the 3A playoffs. They managed pull out 14 wins a season ago and saw a tough Mooreville team in the playoffs.
The Lady Tigers are again loaded with talent, according to Helms.
"Right now, we're hitting very well, and these kids are having fun," Helms said. "We're going to play ball"
Returning for the Lady Tigers will be Mary Ashton Thornburg, who hit over .600 last season. Thornburg, a junior, will play shortstop for a loaded Lady Tigers infield. MyCala Helms, an eighth grader, will play third base, and Anna Paige Lott, the sophomore, will play across at first base. Senior Lexie Flowers returns for the Lady Tigers and will play second base. Flowers hit .350 for the Lady Tigers last season.
"She's [Flowers] going to give you 100 percent every play," Helms said. "Both MyCala and Mary Ashton have strong arms at short and third, and Anna Paige is as good as it gets at first base."
The Lady Tigers will have Elizabeth Lowery at catcher, and stellar hitter Whitney Shaw returns to the Winona outfield. Shaw hit .300 a season ago. Adrienne Eskridge, who hit over .400 for the Lady Tigers last season, returns to the outfield as well as Paula Ables and Shelley Hedgepeth. Helms spoke highly of Jada Mims and Bria Weathersby, who will see time in the outfield.
Helms said Blake Bond, who he said is swinging the bat very well, will pitch this season as well as Tomesha Brown, Melissa Pacillo and senior Mary Hannah Timbs.
"The key for us is to score runs," Helms said. "And I think with this team we will. We have a group of hard working girls, and there are no slackers."
Helms said he feels the key will be pitching with a high arch on the ball. He said if they do that by playoff time, they'll be hard to beat.

Brewhouse Brown Ale
Caramel brown with a hint of chocolate, Brewhouse Brown melds four kinds of malt and American hops into a delicious dark ale. Rich and roasty, yet with a dry finish, it is the perfect companion for a hearty meal.
Rio Blanco Pale Ale
Gold Medal winner - 2010 Great American Beer Festival
Deep golden and malty, with a spicy hop flavor and well balanced hop bitterness, Rio Blanco is a uniquely Texan interpretation of an English-style pale ale. Czech Saaz hops provide a crisp finish and delicate aroma. (Contains wheat)
Full Moon Pale Rye Ale
Tawny red and full of malt and hops, Full Moon's unique flavor truly satisfies. The smooth sweetness of malted rye and barley is complemented by generous helpings of Willamette and Cascade hops, resulting in an assertive American amber ale. (Contains rye.)
Firemans #4 Blonde Ale
Silver Medal winner - 2012 Great American Beer Festival
This refreshing blonde ale strikes a perfect balance between the smoothness of the malt, the subtle fruitiness of our house ale yeast, and zesty citrus notes from Crystal hops. Firemans #4 is a great way to beat the heat - enjoy it on a Texas summer day, or pair it with spicy foods to help put out the fire. The name comes from our good friends at Firemans Texas Cruzer, a local bike builder. Check out their rad bikes at firemansbikes.com
Sisyphus Barleywine Ale
Intense and warming, Sisyphus was Real Ale's first seasonal product. A healthy portion of hops balances the rich toffee undertones of the malt. Weighing in around 11% ABV, Sisyphus Barleywine is not for the faint of heart - makes a great nightcap!
Lost Gold IPA
Massive additions of American hops in Lost Gold IPA provide the signature flavor of this Hill Country favorite. German Vienna and English Crystal malts give our IPA its rich golden-orange hue and subtle yet firm malt background. Lost Gold IPA is available year round, so there is no need to hoard this treasured brew.
Devil's Backbone
Named for the scenic ridge that runs between Blanco and Wimberley, Devil's Backbone is a Belgian-style tripel. Czech Saaz hops and Belgian yeast give this ale its distinctive flavor and aroma. Candy sugar made in-house at the brewery adds strength without increasing heaviness. The result is a deceptively strong, pale golden ale.
Hans' Pils
Silver Medal winner - 2012 Great American Beer Festival
Pilsner is one of the world's most popular beers and there are many interpretations of this style. The great pilsner beers of Germany, specifically Northern Germany, are the inspiration for our second lager - Hans' Pils. These beers are known for being hoppier than the average pilsner and ours is no exception. In fact, at 52 IBU's, it is hoppier than many pale ales. The featured hop in this beer is the spicy and herbal Tettnang Tettnanger hop. German pilsner malt yields a pale golden color and provides the perfect support for our blend of German hops. Our house German yeast strain ferments clean and dry which further adds to the authenticity of Hans' Pils.
What do you get when you take our top-selling Firemans #4 and transform it into Four Squared? Blonde Ale to the power of awesome! You might ask how we've accomplished this, and you probably should. We start with the basic Firemans recipe, add more of our premium 2-row malted barley to boost the gravity, and finish with massive charges of hops to give some bulk to this burly blonde. The clean, dry finish remains, supplemented by a proliferation of Crystal, Herkules and Amarillo hops. Add a round of dry-hopping, and you're left with commanding notes of citrus and a substantial hop flavor and aroma.

He's a man who makes quality beats that do justice to the genres he works in and takes a real interest in understanding the context of the global bass music he creates. Fave out of these two is the second track, "Piedra Fina." It just hits me in the right way. If you're looking for some bangers with a new sound, this is a must grab.

LOS ANGELES — A warning not to show too much skin didn't seem to deter the stars out Sunday for the Grammy Awards.
Jennifer Lopez was among those showing off thigh-high — or higher — openings in their dresses. Katy Perry showed down-to-there cleavage in a seafoam gown.
CBS put out a memo earlier in the week asking that "buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered" for the televised award show. The memo sent out Wednesday also warned against "see-through clothing" and exposure of "the genital region" and said that "thong type costumes are problematic."
"As you can see, I read the memo," Lopez joked as she took the stage.
Miranda Lambert revealed some leg on the red carpet and laughed about the guidelines.
"I thought it was funny," she said. "Country music has never really been a problem with that."
Singer-songwriter Skylar Grey let out an "oops!" when asked about it. "I had to show the side boob," she said. "What are they gonna do, kick me off?"
Andrew Dost of fun. said he read the memo, "but all we wanted to do is go as classy and timeless as possible." Bandmate Jack Antonoff joked that he was "showing off a lot of ankle" going sockless with high pants.
Comedian Kathy Griffin joked about the fashion warning. "I'm here to watch all the pomp and circumstance," she said. "You want to see a lack of underwear. I'm open to all the forbidden parts."
AP reporter Beth Harris contributed to this report.

Comment on the Maritime News
April-June 2004
HALTER'S ATB PRICE IS REVEALING. The price that Crowley is paying Halter for two 24,000-dwt ATBs was revealed last week to be $85mm. Would a deep-draft, self-propelled, high-speed product carrier with the same total capacity cost at least 20% more? Think about it. A fully developed hull form; a lot more piping systems; more electrical and electronic systems; a full-scale superstructure with accommodation for a much bigger crew; etc. This is why (a) MARAD's MSP tanker program isn't going to happen and (b) the Jones Act tanker business is over. O-V-E-R, over. Tim Colton, June 20, 2004.
MORE SHAMEFUL PRIDE. The inauguration of the reflagged Norwegian cruise ship "Pride of Aloha" was greeted with considerable fanfare. Not surprising: it's all marketing.
What is surprising is the tarantara from the U.S. Coast Guard, a normally quite rational body of folks. A Coast Guard spokesperson was quoted in the NCL press release as taking great pride in the fact that "Pride of Aloha" "met all international standards for a passenger ship." Very good, and so it should, but the Coast Guard seems to be implying that it didn't meet international standards before it was reflagged. That doesn't seem too likely: NCL is a pretty reputable outfit. What exactly is the Coast Guard saying here?
Now the second question. OK, the ship meets "all international standards", but does it meet U.S. standards? Did the Coast Guard apply to "Pride of Aloha" all the uniquely U.S. standards that it applied to the "Pride of America" when it was under construction by Ingalls, where the Coast Guard insisted that U.S. standards over-rode international standards, thus significantly contributing to the high cost of that project? And if not, why not? Tim Colton, June 11, 2004.
ANOTHER NAIL IN THE COFFIN. The unconfirmed report from "Tradewinds" that NASSCO's price for each of the two 100,000-dwt Alaskan-trade crude carriers for SeaRiver Maritime (ExxonMobil's US-flag shipping company) is going to be around $220mm is both astonishing and profoundly depressing, even to a hardened cynic like me. $2,200 per deadweight ton! BP is paying NASSCO about $1,135 per ton for its 185,000-tonners, on the first of which NASSCO is believed to be losing about $50mm, which would make its true cost about $1,405 per ton. ConocoPhillips is paying Avondale about $1,430 per ton for its 140,000-tonners, on each of which Avondale is believed to be losing about $30mm, which would make their true cost about $1,645 per ton. Even if we assume that the $220mm price has a profit in it, it's still hard to swallow.
How bad is this? An Aframax crude carrier costs about $370 per ton in Korea right now, making the rumored NASSCO price close to 6.0 times the world market price. A Suezmax crude carrier costs about $330 per ton in Korea right now, making the Avondale cost about 5.0 times the world market price and the NASSCO cost about 4.3 times the world market price. Well, ok, the spec for a Jones Act ship designed for the Alaskan trade is a lot more elaborate than that for a ship intended for conventional international trade, and that should result in only a marginal cost increase - maybe 30% or 40% - but SeaRiver's spec is apparently much more elaborate and stringent than either BP's or COP's. I had reluctantly got used to the idea that U.S. shipbuilding costs are now around 3.5 times Korean shipbuilding costs, but these figures seem to indicate that the ratio is over 4. Aaaaargh.
Let's face it, we already know that NG's not going to let any of its yards try to build any more commercial ships and now it looks as though GD's going to have to go the same way. With the demise of the coastal tanker market (see the preceding article) I fear that the future of commercial deep-draft shipbuilding in the U.S. depends on Kvaerner Philadelphia. Not a happy thought. Tim Colton, June 4, 2004.
DOES MARAD'S PRODUCT CARRIER PROGRAM MAKE SENSE? On the positive side, the market must be there, or the operators wouldn't be interested. On the other hand, not one of the interested shipyards has ever built a self-propelled, deep-draft, oceangoing tanker and Kvaerner Philadelphia is the only one that's equipped to build such a ship efficiently. And these shipbuilders are not suicidal: if the first ship costs over $90mm, the average of five is still going to be over $80mm, not the $70mm that some people are hoping for. But add about 10% for construction financing, plus legal fees, and you're nearly back to $90mm again. Subtract the $50mm subsidy per ship and you've got about $40mm, 87.5% of which can be financed with Title XI. Subtract the saving from the small break on US-fabricated steel, but that doesn't amount to much. Would a $40mm ship work for the operators when they can buy the same ship in the Far East for $30mm? Probably not, in my view. Definitely not if the program is split between two yards.
Then you get the second question. If this program, which, by the way, is still not funded, goes ahead, will the operators piggy-back on it by ordering a bunch of Jones Act product carriers? Only if the price is right and I doubt that it will be. A Jones Act tanker has a different spec. from a foreign-trade tanker and much of the learning from the first series of ships would be lost in the transition to a second series. I hate to be a cynic and, goodness knows, it would be great to see some product carriers being built in U.S. yards, but I don't think it's going to happen. In fact, I fear that we have already built our last Jones Act product carrier: from here on out, it's going to be all ATBs in the coastwise trades. Tim Colton, May 28, 2004.
IS IT TIME TO CREATE A SINGLE FEDERAL MARITIME AGENCY? Times have changed and we need to change with the times. We have five federal governmental bodies controlling the commercial maritime industry and it's time we made them one:
The U.S. Coast Guard. It's now part of the Department of Homeland Security and that is entirely logical as far as its primary duty of guarding the coast is concerned. But the Coast Guard is also responsible for all kinds of regulatory activities that have nothing to do with guarding the coast and will, inevitably, be treated as low-priority in the DHS;
The Maritime Administration. It's a promotional agency rather than a regulatory one: that's why it was in the Department of Commerce until the Reaganauts moved it.
The Federal Maritime Commission. It's a regulatory agency that's not part of anything. It's very small and the world would not be much the worse off if it was abolished.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Keeping the ports and waterways open to shipping may have been a military function in the Civil War but it certainly isn't today. The Corps should concentrate on throwing bridges across the Tigris and similarly martial activities.
N.O.A.A. Ocean research, ocean surveying and fisheries research are maritime activities, wholly unrelated to NOAA's other activities. Separate them.
So, let's take all the activities of these five bodies that
do not relate directly either to defense or to homeland security and combine
them into a new Federal Maritime Administration. Put a 4-star Coast Guard
admiral in charge, not a lobbyist, fundraiser or other political hack, and let
the coasties, who are way up there when you rate public employees on the basis
of intelligence, charm, energy, dedication, wit, etc., have two tracks to the
top. Yes, it will be difficult and confusing at first, but we have to do
something: what we've got now doesn't work. And yes, this is all very
simplistic, but this is a comment, not a position paper, designed to set you
thinking and arguing, not as a basis for legislation.
Tim Colton, May 28, 2004.
A Japanese company challenged a U.S.
company to a crew race. Both crews practiced long and hard to reach their
peak performance for the race but, when the big day came, the Japanese crew won
by a clear mile, possibly because the Japanese crew had 8 people rowing and 1
person steering, while the U.S. crew had 1 person rowing and 8 people steering.
The U.S. crew was naturally very discouraged and depressed. The U.S.
management decided that there had to be a reason for their crushing defeat and
appointed a Task Force to study the problem and recommend appropriate action.
The Task Force hired a consulting company with a silly name and paid them an
incredible amount of money. The consulting company studied the problem for
two years and then advised the U.S. crew that the problem was that too many
people were steering their boat, while not enough people were rowing.
The U.S. crew's management took this
advice very seriously and reorganized the crew so that it had 4 steering
supervisors reporting to 2 steering superintendents, reporting to a steering
manager, who was, of course, a retired admiral. They also implemented a
new performance system that would give a greater incentive to the 1 person
assigned to row. This was called the "Rowing Crew Quality First Program",
and it involved frequent meetings, dinners at local restaurants and a free
ball-point pen with the company's logo on it. A new boat, new oars, new
uniforms and improved medical benefits were promised to the crew if it won the
rematch. "We must give our rower empowerment and enrichment through this
quality program!", they cried.
In the rematch, however, the Japanese crew won by two miles. Humiliated,
the U.S. management laid off the rower for poor performance, halted development
of the new boat, sold the old boat and the oars and canceled all plans for
future investments in the crew program. The money remaining in the current
budget was distributed to the company's senior executives as bonuses.

'09 WRX in R&T comparison
Posts: 340
Doesn't win, but shows very well. Kudos Subaru!
csdev Posts: 4I read the comparison and it made my cringe. The WRX is a much better car than the Cobalt SS because it has all wheel drive, which is the killer feature in my view. AWD is going to give the car better balance, make it easier to drive, and much safer in slippery conditions. To be fair, the focus of the article was on the most fun for the money, but I would never spend my own money on a FWD car when a high quality AWD one is available for a similar price.

ateixeira Posts: 72,587Cobalt in first place? Seriously?
I just rented one while my Miata was in the body shop.
Honestly, if GM said I could drive one for free, but I had to drive it every day, I'd still say no. Even for free. Seriously.
OK, OK, I'm sure the SS is 1000 times better, but it's still sharing the same basic platform and most of the issues I had with the base model - poor visibility, cramped rear seat, cheap plastics, poor fit and finish.
Bottom line: it feels like a brand new car from 1990.
You can't just slap nice seats and a booming engine on to that platform and say it's the best compact with the turbo. I think they're nuts.
And for it to score that much higher than the Lancer Ralliart? Seriously? -

The Plan B career for most auto writers is to practice saying "Would you like fries with that?"

[1443] Quantifying Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes in Ovarian Cancer TMAS.
Andrew Janowczyk, Sharat Chandran, Michael Feldman, Anant Madabhushi. IIT Bombay, Mumbai, India; UPenn, Philadelphia; NJ Rutgers, New Brunswick
Background: Research has shown that the presence of lymphocytes within tumor cells (tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs)), is reflective of outcome for Ovarian Cancer (OCa). Hence, is it important to distinguish between TILs and lymphocytes that reside in the stroma (non-TILs). Manually counting TILs is tedious and time consuming, thus there is a clear need for automation. Standard computer vision approaches are not only computationally expensive, but fail to account for subtle differences in local structural morphology (TILs are densely surrounded by tumor cells, non-TILs are not). We present a novel local morphologic scale (LMS) descriptor which quantitatively captures local structure. Morphologic features derived from LMS can be used to train a supervised classifier to distinguish between stroma and tumor regions, and thus TILs and non-TILs.
Design: The algorithm is as follows: Identify all lymphocytes from a stained OCa TMA using Hierarchical Normalized Cuts (HNCut), a minimally interactive object detection scheme. Next we generate LMS signatures (Figures 1 (b), (d)) for regions surrounding each lymphocyte. This signature is determined by sampling the path of "particles", which are adjusted based on a simple physics model, as they leave the region. Features (such as length of LMS path) at each location can then be extracted and used to train a classifier to distinguish between TILs and non-TILs.
Results: 16 TMA cylinders across 6 different OCa studies were used to evaluate the LMS algorithm against a pathologist's annotation of what constituted a TIL. The LMS classifier was employed to identify TILs within a total of 8000 200X200 image patches. A Probabilistic Boosting Tree was trained using LMS features to distinguish between TILs and non-TILs using 80% of the data, the remaining 20% being used for evaluation. Average ROC AUC was .803.
Conclusions: We presented a novel, local, morphologic image descriptor (LMS) that was successfully applied to rapidly and automatically discriminate TILs and non-TILs on OCa TMAs. In future work we intend to apply LMS to identifying TILs in the context of other diseases (e.g. Her2+ breast cancers).

Welcome to The Quazcast – a weekly podcast that brings listeners in on a frank conversation between myself and a random person from the world of sports.
I might speak with a 90-year-old NFL kicker one week, the manager of a Major League Baseball team the next, and a bull fighter the week after that. The Quazcast is about digging deep and avoiding the cliché question and answers that too often plague sports interviews.
This week's guest is former New York Giants running back Jarrod Bunch. A former first round pick out of Michigan in 1991, Bunch has moved on from his brief professional football career to make a name for himself in the world of acting.
After being named Giants Offensive Player of the Year in just his second season with the team – he was tied for second in the NFL with 4.8 yards per carry – he suffered a debilitating knee injury that eventually forced him to retire in 1995. Bunch then went on to train in mixed martial arts as a means of rehabbing his injury, and eventually found himself in New York also training to be an actor. Since then, Bunch has appeared in such films as Only in America: The Don King Story and Django Unchained.
Below is an excerpt of our conversation and a recording of our complete interview. To get future podcasts downloaded straight to your listening device, you can subscribe to The Quazcast on iTunes.
Jeff Pearlman: When you were a rookie in 1991, a first round pick, 27th overall for the New York Giants, did you have to quote-on-quote pay your dues to any degree?
Jarrod Branch: Yeah, I did, the thing about it is that I knew I was going to have to go through it and did I like it? No.. I had to go through it in college, when you're a freshman in college you have to go through it.
JP: Let me interrupt you, I remember I interviewed, I don't know if you knew Robert Jones, he was a linebacker who played in Miami, I interviewed him for a book I wrote on the Cowboys and he told me when he showed up in Miami they took all the freshman and they pinned them down and they shaved their heads, he said he would not allow it, he fought back, wouldn't allow it and that whole year was filled with misery for him because he wouldn't go along.
JB: That's it, you know if you just let it go, the people who don't really fight back or really don't put up a lot of resistance it's over, it's like it happens at that time and it's over. The people who fight back and show some resistance, they know they got you, they know that every time they give you some type of something they're going to get a reaction from you and that's what they're looking for.
The upperclassmen who are not secure with themselves, that's the only power that they will have in life really, is getting a response from a person, when they don't get a response they leave them alone. When they do get this response and they find the person, oh every time I know can get a response from him, I can feel some power when I do something to this person, that's the person they always pick on.
JP: The one thing I find interesting and I saw today even on Facebook, people were commenting and Facebook is the new sad gauge of everything but Richie Incognito used racial slurs, he used them before in his life, it was caught on video, I feel like there are some things that can't be taken out of context and I feel like using the N-word, no matter what the context unless you're just describing a Snoop Dogg lyric, he sent text messages to Jonathan Martin, who comes from a bi-racial background, using the N-word too.
I was surprised to see his teammates actually defending him, even African-America teammates defending him and that's the one thing that kind of baffled me a little bit because it seems like some things are very unforgivable and that strikes me as one of them but I guess not maybe.
JB: I've seen that too, I've heard it and my take on that is that the use of the word has become acceptable and when I say acceptable I'm saying acceptable period. Not just if you're black you can say it, now it's whatever race you are, if you grew up in a black area or you grew up hanging around people of color and they somehow accept you as one of them then you can say it too.
I don't like to get into the discussion because there's no winning, there will always be someone who feels a certain way on either side. With him (Incognito) and the team that's coming out, I think and I have nothing to back up what I'm saying, but just my feeling is that the Miami Dolphins themselves are taking a big hit on this thing.
The coach has said, listen, we're a team, we're the Miami Dolphins, everyone won't be here next year but the Miami Dolphins will be and it's our job to make sure that they continue on so I think that the team is like all coming together as a team and the coach is trying to use this as something, they've still got football games to play and I think they're trying to bring themselves in as a team and use this to propel them and pull them together instead of breaking them apart.
The team was actually having a pretty good year and I don't think it should be looked at as this was the turning point where they threw the rest of the season away because of these events and that's what the coach is telling them, now you see guys coming out, backing them up and standing behind them.
JP: You know what I find very interesting is that, I didn't see the conversation going this way but you're very fascinating in the area, I've been working on a story on the one year anniversary of the death of Jovan Belcher, the Kansas City Chief linebacker who shot his girlfriend and then went to the Kansas City facility last year and shot himself in front of the coach and the general manager.
I was thinking Jovan Belcher, I was thinking Jonathan Martin, we sort of have these assumptions Jarrod that you guys being football players and pro athletes in general are living the life and that everything is great and you're making great money and you're playing in packed stadiums and this is just the greatest ever, this is the culmination of a dream, what do you have to be upset about, what do you have to be depressed about, you don't have any problems you're driving a Rolls Royce or a Bentley, it's not that simple is it?
JB: It's far from being that simple, playing football is an actual job, it is a job, no matter what you hear what people see on Sundays is what's fun about playing football, but there's so much that goes into those two to three hours on Sunday or Monday night or Sunday night or Thursday night, there's so much more that goes into it and when I say pressure, it's pressure that you are fighting for your job, to keep your income to continually come into your house by doing something every single day that only comes down to a Sunday, a Monday or a Thursday.
JP: So Jarrod comes in, 1991, plays 16 games and only starts one, then 1992 has an excellent year, starts 13 games, runs for 501 yards. 1993, it was in camp when you suffered your injury, and what happened exactly? Do you recall?
JB: Yeah, absolutely, it was our first full scrimmage and it was our first year with Dan Reeves and usually the first team, if it's the first team offence against the second team defence it's everything except live tackling, everything is live except you don't tackle and you don't take the ball carrier down, with Dan Reeves everything was live, everything period.
It was the first scrimmage with the second team and pop, boom, tore my knee up.
JP: What was it like? What did that pain feel like? I know it's been a long time but how would you describe that pain because most of us will never experience that.
JB: Ah man, I imagine it would be like breaking a bone, because when it happened the leg bent in an extreme way and you can hear the pops, pop, pop, pop and you try to stand up, you know, do whatever you can to get up and it's just not working, I won't forget that.
For years every time I saw someone running the ball I was looking for the same thing, where are their legs, how did they get tackled because if you look at almost every play it's like literally inches, if a person didn't move their foot or their knee in a different angle it could have been snapped.
Almost every play and for years, that's why I didn't like to watch football that much, that's all I was looking at, everything was ah, ah, ooh, ah, that's me watching.
JP: So you were able to come back, but is coming back after an injury like that, is it coming back but not really coming back?
JB: Mentally you think that you are ready to come back, I thought I was ready to come back but in my mind I was saying move here and it was literally like that, I was saying move here and in the pros if you have to say move here it's too late, that here has now moved so I was a step behind, a step slower, my reaction time was slower and it just wasn't the same.

Harris Presents Digital Radio Technology at Dominican Republic Radio Event
Cincinnati - Aug 14, 2007 - Harris showcased its digital radio technology at the Digital Radio Forum in the Dominican Republic. Harris teamed with its Dominican Republic dealer, Repuestos de Radio and TV, to provide presentations for regional broadcasters interested in digital radio.
The forum, which was planned by Indotel, the Dominican Republic's equivalent of the FCC, showed radio transmission technology and implementation strategies for all three standards.
The Harris exhibition included the Flexstar HDX exciter operating in hybrid mode with a Harris Z-Series tri-mode transmitter. The company showed examples of how stations are using HD Radio to multicast in the U.S., and provided a formal presentation on the three digital standards: HD Radio, DRM and DAB.
Representatives of numerous islands, including Bermuda and the Bahamas, attended the event. It was noted that some broadcasters in Puerto Rico are currently transmitting an HD Radio signal, and because of this, many Caribbean nations seem to be leaning toward HD Radio broadcasting.
While HD Radio was the focus of most discussion, Caribbean broadcasters also expressed interest in DRM and DAB. Broadcasters from Europe were on hand to discuss successes with these standards.

I originally posted this at the SuperGardeners Forum. I'm duplicating here for info from another post.
I was concerned that my numbers didn't match, because Tapla and others have reported up to 60% waste (fines) when sifting Turface and my numbers were not even close to that. I later found out why: I was sifting with Fiberglass insect screen, not aluminum. Fiberglass has rectangular mesh, 1/16 x 1/32 vs aluminum being 1/16 square. I was fortunate because I live in a hot arid climate and definitely need the slightly smaller particles. There is still no PWT in my containers even using the fiberglass and I use a smaller #10 grit size. ========================= Original Post ===================================
In case you don't want to read ahead, here are MY conclusions:
Disclaimers: These numbers are largely influenced by my insect screen (fiberglass) and how I sift. If you sift longer, you'll remove more waste. The waste calculation by weight is based on stated weight, which I did not confirm prior to sifting. By volume also does not reflect settling. Also, the volume numbers are rough estimates and the cost figures are obviously local. Al/Tapla has also experienced varied Turface waste by bag batch. I took these measurements to compare waste between 4 of the water retention products recommended. Waste calculations by volume will never resemble ones based on weight. Dust/fines are the heaviest part of the product where measurement by weight could be triple the volume. But I believe they are helpful when comparing against each other, which was my goal. MEASUREMENTS OF WASTE BY WEIGHT Numbers are weight in US lbs. * Calcuated based on stated weight of product. All amounts were weighed and recorded. Afterward, they were re-weighed and recorded separately and then checked against the first recording for accuracy. Discrepancies were negligible. I simultaneously double-sift, the top screen is a 1/8th hardware cloth, the bottom screen is fiberglass insect screen -- it appears 1/16th x 1/32th. What remains above 1/8th is the largest of the particles, what remains above the insect screen is the small to medium size. What falls through both is the waste/dust i.e. definitely smaller than 1/32 (which is the key size to avoid PWT). The calculations in the first table were performed by weight -- not volume. I used a typical home scale which obviously is not precise especially when measuring < 0.5 lbs. Even though I never measured by volume (wish I had), I did take basic measurements (filled up the same #5 containers and took pictures). After reviewing the photos, here are very rough estimates of usable volume after my sifting. VERY ROUGH ESTIMATES OF WASTE BY VOLUME Listed in US gallons
PRODUCT Usable My Cost $/Usable G *Unsure if this price is inflated. Only asked & found this at one vendor whom I later found out was ripping me off on another product, charging $22 for a bag of Turface which was only $10.99 at a competitor one block away.
Follow-Up Postings:
My conclusions (updated): * Napa Floor Dry is the most cost effective solution and offered an even distribution of particle sizes from 1/8 to 1/16. My recommendation is the Napa Floor Dry. Though due to my climate and application, I still buy an equal amount of Turface as Floor Dry. Other Benefits: Napa Floor Dry bags are half the size for half the cost of Turface, so they are easier for smaller batches. They are also the only bags to have handles on them. Al/Tapla has stated that Floor Dry (Calcined DE products) are a bit more water and CEC retentive than Turface. I have used all the above for a year now and have not seen the "mud" degradation experienced by some using Oil-Dri products. Also, because of the small amount of waste and even distribution of particle sizes, a huge benefit is scooping directly from the bag. In order to force the smallest fines down to the bottom of the bag, use the handle to hold the bag vertically and shake it. Then jostle it around the sides, again keeping it vertical. Finally, store the bag standing upright. This makes it easy for those less critical situations, wherein you can easily scoop Floor Dry directly and not take the time to sift. In no situations have I scooped into the lowest 25% of the bag however. When important, I always sift the entire bag and recommend the same. Lastly, this thread didn't discuss the various product sources and types. But Napa Floor Dry is mined by EP Minerals which also produces Axis and Playball. As can be seen in this links: Floor Dry and Axis are nearly identical in appearance. Example Photo of Wet Products -- Chris |

The wild bunnies have discovered that raspberry leaves and cane tips are delicious, which means that I got no berries this year, and little prospect of any next year! (And they were just recovering from the deer getting in a couple of years ago.) Can you help me try again? I bought upright supports to lash them to, so your extras won't go to waste!
I have a number of things that I can bring in exchange:

Hi! This is my first time here and, wow, what a great place! Last year I received some potted hyacyths(sp) and daffodils, and I was wondering if I could use them again this year for forcing indoors. I have never done this before, so is there anyone out there with very detailed instructions on how to do this? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by Peach_Fuzz 4 (My Page) on Mon, Sep 19, 05 at 21:11
In my experience, forcing uses most of the bulb's energy. I usually plant mine in the yard after forcing them for a season. Others may have had better experiences with re-using the bulbs; I'm curious to see what others have to say. |
brenleigh: Probably not because as someone else has responded, the process of forcing takes too much of the bulbs energy and I would also plant them in the garden. As for the subject of forcing, I'd opt to locate an excellent copy of "Crockett's Indoor Garden" by James Underwood Crockett of The Victory Garden fame. Unfortunately, it is out of print, but copies may be found at or through your local public library and/or at either of the two sources listed below. http://www.abe.com OR http://www.albris.com Both are excellent sources of used and new books in good to new condition. Hope this helps! Bill |
I once saw a dutch gardener, who after forcing her bulbs, took them and ran them through her shredder and into her composter. She claimed that they were done, so she might as get that last little bit of good from them. Today, I was over briefly at a neighbour's place, and he had several very large pots in his garage, into which he had planted his daffodils for next spring's show. He was planning to keep them indoors for the winter, watering only occasionally so they did not get too dry. He claims to have good success. I saw another person who plants her new bulbs into large pots, and then takes them outdoors where the snow collects, puts the pots on their sides, and in the winter shovels the snow onto the pots so they don't get too cold. Putting them on their sides, prevents a build up of water and freezing. She says she has good success. Both of these folks plant for shows outdoors, and not indoors. I am thinking that both of these would not take as much energy as forcing the bulb to bloom mid winter or very early spring indoors. I think I may try the latter idea myself for a splash of colour in spring. I don't know if that helps you at all, but really for the price of daffodil bulbs, it is probably not worthy of a great effort to try to salvage them. Like Peach Fuzz, I usually plant the forced bulb into the garden in a back corner. If it makes it, fine. If not, c'est la vie! |
- Posted by Sheryl_Ontario ONT z5 (My Page) on Sat, Dec 17, 05 at 14:34
I would think that the plant, while growing the previous year, would need a lot of fertilizer and full sun all day to store enough energy in the bulb for the next season's growth. If you grew it indoors, you won't get much this year. |

How to de-stress from work worries
The Vancouver Sun has a nice, although brief, article on reducing stress.
1. Exercise. It helps to release stress, as it improves overall physical and mental health, and improves sleep. This could include any type of activity or meditation, including yoga, tai chi or even a brisk walk to the store.
I don't know if meditation strictly counts as exercise, but certainly both physical exercise and meditation are very valuable in reducing stress.
2. Focus on building a strong support network. Relationships are vital to coping with stress throughout the year.
Buddhist teachings place a lot of stress on building a sense of community, with an emphasis on spiritual friendship, lovingkindness, and sangha …

As I drive through Chester, I love to sight see. I like to look at the new shops opening and like that they all offer something a little different. As I began to look at these new shopping opportunities though, I started to notice the user-friendliness to the older adult population. Many of these shops sell items that this age group had in their homes in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. What a great experience it would be for someone in their 80s to go shopping in these stores, reminisce about their own childhood, and perhaps buy an item or two to take home. I started to observe that accessibility would be a significant issue. I have noticed businesses with street parking without a very safe route to enter, no upper level access in multi-story buildings, difficult to read signage, and limited mobility once inside. If someone in a wheelchair wanted to shop in some of these locations, it would be extremely difficult.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau (2010), Chester, Virginia's 65 years of age and older population makes up 11.2 percent of the total population. Of this 11.2 percent, 6.5 percent are female. These are the older adults that would frequent the local retail establishments. Although these numbers may seem small, the impact can actually be much larger. It is not uncommon to see three generations of family members shopping and dining together. If a building is not easily accessible, there are now three potential customers lost (or at least the potential immediate revenue).
My recommendations would be to make sure that the entrance is easily accessible by car and by foot, make signage using contrasting colors for those individuals of any age that may have visual impairments, make the pathways through the aisles wide enough for better maneuverability. A few minor adaptations like these could make a great day for an older adult out shopping.

Rain pounding on the car roof, we wound our way around yet another infamous Highway One S-curve, high beams blazing a hole in the darkness. Then suddenly, a beacon — blue lights, strung along Nick's pier, beckoning with a shimmer and a flick. We had arrived; a warm fire and a hearty meal awaited.
Sold in 2011 to a group of silent investors after a ballyhooed makeover by Pat Kuleto, et al, the revamped, prettied-up yet ever country-coastal Nick's Cove is much as it was. The dining rooms still feels like a hunting and fishing camp lodge with dark woods, brass accents, an open-hearth stone fireplace and taxidermied critters gazing upon the scene. But there's a twist.
Executive chef Austin Perkins, working the stoves at Nick's Cove since 2008, added "executive" to his title during the transition and kept many of the familiar menu items and the focus on seasonal, Marin- and Sonoma-sourced foods.
But Perkins' winter menu speaks volumes about his ability to juggle an interest in gamier meats with the abundant, ultra-fresh seafood, often caught within view of his kitchen, that Nick's is known for. It speaks to Perkins' capacity to articulate the range of skills needed to showcase these diverse selections.
Of course there are oysters in all manner of preparation — Hog Island is steps away though Tomales Bay and Preston Point are also represented — and the New England-style clam chowder ($11) is not going anywhere. With other dishes, Perkins casts a gimlet eye to fresh and light versus hale and hearty.
Perfectly cooked seared dayboat scallops ($17) had a gorgeous honeyed character, the cipollini onions melding beautifully with the blood orange juice, champagne vinegar and brown sugar in the accompanying gastrique. Crab mac 'n' cheese ($16), a riff on the rib-sticking classic, benefited from big pieces of crab and a not too heavy three-cheese and Mornay sauce.
Daily seafood specials reflect what's sustainable/seasonal and Perkins' wish to prepare it "so you can taste the fish." For winter, that means halibut in a delicate nage ($24) with squash and root vegetables and a chili-flecked cioppino ($24) with layers of tomato, aromatics and seasonings enriching the stock. Seared ahi ($25), atop a radiant orange carrot purée, was gussied up with a robust kumquat and coriander relish that tamed the sweet carrot and boosted the mild fish.
On the meatier side, smoked veal gnocchi ($26) had a depth of flavor unusual for this mild mannered youngster. First bathed in almondwood smoke then braised in veal stock, the pulled shoulder meat was rich yet intriguing. Perkins smartly paired the veal's now-dense, full-throated flavor with knuckle-sized pasta and a hint of sauce sweetened with cipollini and tomato jam. Goat meatballs ($13), blanketed in a Moroccan-spiced tomato-leek sauce, were boldly gamey — almost tart. Duck confit pot pie ($24), thickened with velouté and scented with thyme and marjoram, was soft and creamy, crowned with butter-rich pastry.
Cauliflower salad ($10) with mustard vinaigrette and grilled endive with prosciutto di Parma and blood orange relish ($14) were hearty enough to be entrées. But I would use any remaining calories on the sublime desserts.
Crafted by pastry chef Gillian Helquist, the sweet endings ($9) are designed to add lightness at the finale of a big meal. And her confections are just that. Meyer lemon semifreddo, ethereal layers of sponge and tangy cream, was tarted up with huckleberry sauce while lemon verbena pot de crème, served with an almond quince financier, was joyfully fresh and sprightly. And the bittersweet chocolate tart, more mousseline than flourless, winked with candied kumquats and vanilla ice cream.
Perkins' citrus-inflected winter menu matches the feeling of old roadhouse-cum-hunting and fishing lodge. Game meats paired with seafood feels perfectly appropriate here. Besides, if this is what Perkins and Helquist can do with lemons and kumquats, I cannot wait to drive up in the fog of summer and experience their take on peaches and strawberries.

I did a stupid thing yesterday, I accidently washed my green and my white bathroom rugs in the same load in the washing machine. Now my white one has a bit of green on it, how do I get it back to white again. I don't know what I was thinking when I did this. Can someone help please. |
