« January 2009 Table of Contents
The SeaFood Business team rang in the new year with a few changes to its features and editorial staff. It's my pleasure to announce several well-deserved staff promotions.
Associate Editor Steven Hedlund has been promoted to editor, SeafoodSource . In this new position, Steve is responsible for generating domestic and international news for SeafoodSource , the digital product launched last year by Diversified Business Communications, SFB 's parent company. Steve's writing for SeaFood Business has earned him the respect of the domestic industry and a thorough understanding of the global seafood trade, so he is a natural to bring an international perspective to the site's content.
April Forristall was promoted to assistant editor, SeafoodSource . April is responsible for making sure all of the news is placed on the site quickly and accurately, and will assist Steve in editing stories from our international bank of writers.
Assistant Editor James Wright has been promoted to SeaFood Business associate editor. As part of his new position, Jamie will also continue to provide domestic reporting for SeafoodSource . He is a talented writer and editor and will take on more magazine responsibilities in the coming year.
We've also made some changes to the features in the magazine. Our column devoted to seafood retailers is now called What's in Store. In this issue on p. 24, Christine Blank highlights the success of Rouses in providing fresh local seafood to Gulf Coast consumers.
Behind the Line on p. 26 is SFB 's new restaurant-focused column. Lauren Kramer gives buyers an up-to-date look at foodservice trends for both independent and chain restaurateurs. This issue shows how two upscale Miami restaurants that have opted for more casual fare and décor to lure economy-wary diners.
The hot topic of the past few years has been the establishment of sustainable seafood programs worldwide. We've added Going Green on p. 28 to monitor the sustainability progress. Lisa Duchene focuses on the growing trend of Community Supported Fisheries programs.
And last, but not least, Top Species is now written by Joanne Friedrick. She has covered a variety of topics for SFB over the past few years, and on p. 22 tackles the changes within the Alaska pollock and surimi-seafood market.
The magazine has been committed to providing professional seafood buyers with the most comprehensive industry coverage for 28 years now, and I'm sure you'll welcome these latest changes.

Thank you so much for the kind words. I have just received my copy of Gertie's new book; you will definitely not be disapointed. The book is full of useful information and tons of vintage inspired patterns. She has included a tiki-inspired dress in the book but it is not based on the above pattern.

Our management team at PBS Hawaii made an easy call today. We decided to tell the producers of a national series that we won't air a particular episode unless they re-do their narration, to pronounce key Hawaiian words correctly.
The way the narrator pronounces most of the Hawaiian place-names bears little resemblance to what we should be hearing. In fact, I didn't recognize the name of a school as pronounced. When I saw the pictures, I knew the school immediately and realized just how far off the charts the narrator is.
Our programming department, led by Linda Brock, and other staffers are not Hawaiian language experts. However, we agree there doesn't even seem to have been an effort to try to get it right. For example, Hualalai is pronounced (twice) as Hula Lolly.
This is a show that came to Hawaii and didn't do its cultural homework. As a result, the show suffers a loss of credibility.
Which is too bad, because I very much like the show's subject and its storytelling. And I appreciate the producers shooting on location on an island that is sometimes overlooked. So I won't mention the name of the show, which we have been anticipating broadcasting this fall on PBS Hawaii.
It's the second time this year that PBS Hawaii has decided to hold the line, declining to air a program about Hawaii that mangles the language of our host culture. After all, we want to uphold high standards--and English AND Hawaiian are the state's official languages.
We're not perfect, either. But we believe it's important to make one's best effort--to learn phonetic basics rather than plow through Hawaiian words without a clue.
Local stations are the heart of the PBS system, and so is education. Let's hope this show decides to go back to the audio booth, to backtrack and re-track, and give all of the TV markets in which it airs the authenticity and quality that viewers deserve.
Then, we can all sit back and enjoy the show.

The Friendship Strategy, by David Maister
Many firms claim that what distinguishes their organization is that their people are client centric and act like trusted advisors. However, few of these organizations, when they hire, have programs to select for these attitudes and skills and few have systematic programs to help their people develop them.
An organization where everybody did have a consistently high level of friendship skills would truly achieve a differentiated strategy! David Maister uses the lessons of our personal lives to explore how the habits and skills of friendliness can be applied in a business setting.
In trying to understand how to build business relationships, we should draw upon what we already know from relationships in our personal lives. People often don't do this. It sometimes seems as if, when they come to work, people leave behind everything they have learned about interacting effectively with others.
If you have an active social circle and people like being with you, the odds are that you will have a significant advantage in learning the skills and habits of business development. If, on the other hand, you're a social recluse, you will find it more difficult to convince clients to see you as a trusted advisor they wish to work with.
The way most clients choose professionals is essentially identical to the way people choose their friends. They look for professionals who can (a) put them at ease, (b) make them feel comfortable sharing their fears and concerns, (c) inspire trust in their ability to oversee both the client and his transaction, and (d) prove their dependability.
Creating these feelings in others begins with having the correct attitude—a sincere interest in others. However, the outward signs of this genuine caring are often conversational and interpersonal skills.
If you want to win a client's business, it's necessary to give the client the chance to talk to you, person to person, about their needs, wishes, and wants. The key is to make it easy and comfortable for the client to share his or her feelings and secrets. In short, if you really want to win a client's business, you must know how to have a conversation.
There's nothing conceptual or special in this use of the term "conversation." Think of it literally, the way we all use the word in everyday speech. The characteristics of a conversation include:
It's person to person; not role to role. People use normal language, not "corporate-speak."
Both sides talk, and what one says is dependent upon what the other has just said.
Both parties are engaged in joint problem solving; neither is trying to win or prevail.
It's designed to allow people with different views to learn from one another.
Marketing (and/or selling) begin to work when a conversation moves away from being a role-to-role exchange of capabilities, contracts, and costs and becomes a person-to-person interactive dialogue about ideas, beliefs, and perspectives. Only then can it build the chemistry, confidence, and commitment that lead to new revenues.
Imagine a dinner party conversation. What makes a good conversationalist in such a setting? He or she:
Has a fresh point of view, but does not try to thrust it upon everyone else
Speaks politely and respectfully
Tells good stories to illustrate key points
Is good at drawing other people's views out and drawing them into the conversation
Speaks intelligently on a variety of subjects, but is not afraid to admit areas of ignorance
Avoids trotting out well-worn arguments or clichés.
Listens with genuine interest
Is light-hearted in style, but always respectful of others' views
All of these conversational skills also apply to effective marketing and selling. You may remember to behave this way at a dinner party, but do your client meetings really meet these criteria? What about your seminars, speeches, articles, blogs, and websites?
Is the tone of your client interactions friendly, inviting the client to chat, to think about ideas and to encourage both sides to get to know each other as people?
This doesn't always come naturally to everyone. For example, if I am in the wrong mood and find a dinner party to be an effort, I may ask the person on my left, "And what are your hobbies?"
"Oh," the person might reply, "I love mountain climbing."
At this point I have to fight an overwhelming desire to turn immediately to the person on my right side to save me from having to ask the first person a follow-up question. Mountain climbing! Ye gads, this is going to be a long night!
Other people, however, can and do immediately think of three or four follow-up questions—"Where do you go?" Do you climb alone?" What got you started in this?"—and can continue posing additional questions all evening long.
By the end of dinner, their table companion, who has done nothing but talk about herself the whole time, has come to regard the questioner as an enjoyable person to be around. She will look forward to meeting again.
So it is with business development and client relations. The most trusted advisors in every profession are not those who have a ready answer for every client problem, but those who can, through questions and conversational style, put the other person at ease, make him want to tell you about himself, and engage in a dialogue.
And, just as in personal life, this is done not by trying to be impressive, but by learning how to show a genuine interest in other people and keep them talking.
Can this habit be abused? Yes. Will it work if you are only faking it? No. Can you leave it out? No.
Doing this requires that you are comfortable in your own skin, and that you are who you are. Much of traditional marketing is designed so that people aren't required to put their own humanity on display. They hide behind formal, corporate language and tactics.
Not only are such approaches ineffective, but they create the impression that the professional or the individual (and the firm) is afraid to let its hair down.
This has been an excerpt from David Maister's new book, "Strategy and the Fat Smoker: Doing What's Obvious but Not Easy"

Funnies, Food and Follicles
George Lopez will hit the late-night Monday when his variety show premieres. The first guests on Lopez Tonight: Ellen DeGeneres, Eva Longoria-Parker and Kobe Bryant. Que cool, right?
The show will air at 11 p.m. ET and he's got a huge list of heavy-hitters scheduled. Lopez, who cracks us up with his raw look at living Latino in the U.S., has been promoting the show all over the place and on his Twitter page.
Not exactly sure how this post over on Laura Martinez's blog didn't get any comments: A sperm bank that promises Latino celebrity look-alike-donors. (Wondering if they have a George Lopez look-alike? And maybe one day, donated eggs that look like Penelope?)
Ingrid Hoffman, of the Food Network's Simply Delicioso, will hawk some Latin-inspired cookware Friday, Nov. 6 on the Home Shopping Network (HSN). She'll be part of a 24-hour pachanquita with Padma Lakshmi and Ace of Cakes Duff Goldman.
"My Latin heritage is important to me and my cooking and I can't wait to introduce my cookware, designed with the expertise of T-Fal to a vast new audience of 'foodies' at HSN," Hoffmann in the official release.
Watch Hoffmann here talking about how she likes to Spanglish-up her food.

Future-proof your wireless network today.
The evolution of Wi-Fi continues, delivering increased performance, security, and reliability for the modern workforce - from tablets to smartphones, from workers to students, mobility is quickly becoming the preferred choice for connecting to the network and Internet.
Designed initially with a very narrow scope - Wi-Fi has grown to conquer both enterprise and the consumer electronics markets, by incrementally expanding its role, improving performance and security, adding new functionality, and supporting a wider range of devices and applications.
The increasing reliance on wireless communications is creating an increased sense of urgency in the enterprise to expand and deepen the Wi-Fi footprint, and improve its reliability and resiliency, as it provides the preferred wireless access technology. Proper planning for coverage, bandwidth, and capacity will be critical for organizations increasingly depending on wireless as the primary means of network access.
To better understand the pressures being placed on wireless networks due to the explosion of mobile devices and applications, Xirrus commissioned a report to examine "the future of Wi-Fi in the enterprise" by GigaOM Pro and is now available for free download here.

Should You Use Skin Care Products Containing Mineral Oil?
Mineral oil. "It's evil. Stay away from it. Especially in your hair care products."
You've probably heard that or something like it but does it have any merit? If it's been estimated by the masses that you should avoid mineral in your hair care products, what about your skin care products? Is it OK if they containing mineral oil?
A Lubricant and Little More
For starters, it's important to understand what mineral oil actually is. Mineral oil is a petroleum based lubricant. You'll find it in baby oil, diaper creams and other skin care products. It's been used for years in skin care products but not without controversy.
Mineral oil does not allow moisture (water) to penetrate the skin which is necessary to keep it from becoming dehydrated and dried out.
Unlike natural oils derived from Shea Butter and Cocoa Butter, mineral oil will not help you to seal moisture into your skin.
Mineral oil also sits on top of the skin's surface so if it's mixed into a product such a moisturizer, it does not allow that moisturizer to adequately penetrate the deep layers of your skin. Hence, the moisturizer is made ineffective.
Mineral Oil's Effect on Acne Prone Skin
If you have oily acne prone skin and use mineral oil based products, you may also notice an increase in your skin's oil production. This greatly increases the chance of a near future outbreak. That's because mineral oil clogs the pores causing your sebaceous glands to "overwork" by producing more oil. Your skin can not breathe.
With all of these hindrances to your skin being able to receive and/or retain moisture, I'd say it's a good decision to avoid skin care products containing mineral oil.
What do you say?

No city match.
Those looking for an upmarket mid-sized sedan have so far lapped up the City. But now with the Vento entering the fray, can the Honda still hold its own? AUTO BILD INDIA fi nds out…
So far the Honda City has had a great run. And it has managed it mainly on account of its virtues. But, there's also no denying that its competition was found wanting; some weren't spacious, others lacked performance and fuel economy, while still others weren't new enough to compete. But most of all, none of the cars in the City's segment sported a badge Battle of the s nob sedans that was premium enough to compete with Honda.
Not anymore, though. Say hello to the Vento. And like we reported in our issue before last, it's spacious, well built and has a decently potent engine. It's also new and carries an equally snobbish badge, that of Volkswagen.
So then, can the City still fend off budding competition, especially when the Vento seems pretty competent on paper and has a big price advantage as well? We decided to fi nd out. And to do that we have the top-of-theline Vento Highline and the top but one, City S versions, which best compete on price against each other.
Honda upgraded the quality of plastics some time ago but the City's interiors still don't feel as rich as that of its competitor here
While the City's rear end didn't look all that exciting when it was launched, the Vento's staid and uninspiring design makes it look all the more better now
On the looks front, the City remains the car to beat. Now, the VW designers deserve a big pat on their backs for making the Vento look like it does. It looks inherently like a sedan than a hatch sporting an add-on boot. It has pleasing lines, good proportions and of course an attractive front end. But, it still doesn't command as much attention as does the City.
Inside too, the City, with its play of black, beige and silver colours along with bold and fl owing design lines that carry from the dash to the doors, feels more inviting. It also feels more spacious up front, thanks to the relatively low and long dashboard.
The Vento's high dash conceals its roomier front. But, it certainly exudes better quality, does the VW. The plastics in particular look and feel more upmarket. The operability including ergonomics is better on the Vento as well. It also has comfy seats that support you well, be it for the back, thigh or even the sides. And that holds true even for the rear.
But, that's only till you haven't rested your behind inside the City. Because once you do, it's immediately clear that even though the Vento has comfy seats, the City's are better, both front and rear. These are larger, better contoured and prove less tiring over longer jaunts. It's certainly the better car to be chauffeured around in, even though it doesn'tget the convenience of adjusting the front passenger seat from the rear like on the Vento.
Cabin of the Vento is reminiscent of VW's Polo. It is made of good quality materials and feels plush. Two-tone trim adds a dash of cheeriness
Dynamically, the Vento is ahead of the City; it has a fi rmer chassis and a more feedback rich steering
The Vento though makes a better case for itself for those who like driving. To begin with, its steering wheel is adjustable for both reach and rake (the City only gets rake adjustment), and along with height adjustment for the driver's seat it's easy to get both comfortable and cosy behind the Vento's wheel. The steering itself feels better than the City's. It's still light but it feels less artifi cially weighed than the Honda's and is more linear in its operation as well.
Then of course, it handles better. Now both cars roll quite a bit when thrown hard into bends, but the Vento thanks to higher grip levels, has a better turn in. It also responds to steering inputs with more alacrity than the Honda. And the best bit is, even though it feels tighter and more predictable than the Honda, it doesn't lose out on the ride quality front either. In fact, it rides better than the City. It's the best of both worlds really.
The City's ride isn't jarring either but when going over broken surfaces or smallish potholes, but the Honda bobs around a bit and the ride can get noisy too. Passengers can also feel nearly every bump or irregularity the City goes over. The Vento on the other hand smoothens nearly everything at slower speeds and it's only at higher speeds over pronounced undulations that it tends to wallow and roll a bit. Having said that, deep potholes can still get the better of the car.
Honda City Engine is not only a peppier performer but is also more fuel effi cient
When it comes to the drivetrains though, the Honda has a slight edge. The engine is more refi ned and even though it's a bit down on capacity, it delivers more power and helps the City post quicker acceleration times. And with well sorted gear ratios, driveability too, is a notch above the Vento's. So is the fuel effi ciency, though there's only about a kmpl separating the two.
Volkswagen Vento Engine is decently torquey
The Vento's 1.6-litre engine meanwhile is essentially the Polo's 1.2-litre unit with an added cylinder. Not surprisingly then, the Vento too fi res up as if it were a diesel. On the move, it is quieter nonetheless, and if not revved hard, is acceptably refi ned too. But, the highlight of the Vento is its gearbox's smooth and precise shifts. And along with the light clutch, it makes for an easy to drive car, particularly in the confi nes of the city.
Despite a shorter wheelbase than the Vento, Honda has given more space for its rear occupants. Along with a softer setup, this is clearly a car to be driven in
The Vento, on the other hand, offers more room for the driver and the front passenger. Shoulder room on both cars though is identical
Honda City- The City is equally good on space and is decently equipped too. It's also quicker and more effi cient. Add to it good resale, and it remains an enticing buy.
Volkswagen Vento- Better dynamics along with more comfortable ride and decent space for both passengers and space alike, the Vento HL is our pick here.
Body: Both cars are equally matched on space. While the Vento has more of it in the front, the City has more at the back. The Honda though has a bigger boot. Both cars are high on quality too, but the VW feels a lot plusher. Though the City was upgraded last year with better plastics in the cabin it still can't match the Vento. Both have similar safety equipment though.
Drive: Under this head it is the Honda that outdoes the VW. Not only does the City offer better acceleration in a straight drag, it also offers better driveability. Over and above that it offers better fuel effi ciency than the Vento, while displaying better engine characteristics as well. The only count under this head where the Vento comes out on top is its better gearbox.
Comfort: The City is softly sprung while the Vento rides a little fi rmer. Slow speed ride is better on the Honda but overall the VW does a better job of cushioning passengers. The City's suspension is noisier too. The Vento is also the better equipped with climate control and a rear AC vent. Operability of switches is also better on the VW.
Dynamics: The Vento outperforms the City on all counts, thereby winning the dynamics head by a wide margin. The Vento's steering offers better feedback, it brakes quicker and is more manoeuvrable. While the City's lighter steering is good in urban confi nes, on the highway the VW feels better. The latter also feels more planted.
Cost: Both cars cost almost the same and you will get a better resale for the Honda. The four-year warranty on the Japanese car too is better than what Volkswagen is offering on its Vento. Naturally the Honda wins the cost war. But overall, the Vento still makes a better case for itself.
The City has been beaten by the Vento even though the Honda still remains the car to buy if the balance in performance and fuel effi ciency, not to mention better warranty and resale, still dictate your buying decision. But, for every other reason like dynamics, which includes steering response, braking and directional stability as well as comfort, be it better ride or more comfort equipment, the Vento makes a better case for itself. And honestly, it isn't far behind in performance and effi ciency or resale and warranty either for that matter.

Written & Performed by Charlie Varon
Developed with & directed by David Ford

Saturday 8:30pm, Sunday at 5pm
"Irresistible… comic gold!" — SF Chronicle
At age 83, here's what Bernie hates: yoga studios, tattoo parlors, boutiques of all kinds, medical marijuana dispensaries, $6 cups of coffee and the young people who are drinking them. It's hot, an October Sunday in San Francisco. Out on the street, Bernie gets tired of waiting for a cab, sticks out his thumb. He's picked up by three 20-somethings in a Tesla with a cappuccino maker in the dashboard and two surfboards strapped to the roof. By the time they get to the beach in Bolinas, Bernie has convinced the kids to let him surf for the first time in his life, and bet them $400,000 that he'll ride a wave.
Feisty Old Jew is the story of a 20th-century man living in a 21st-century city. It's also a fast, wild ride through the fertile comic mind of the man the SF Chronicle calls "San Francisco's brightest satiric star."
Artist Biography
Charlie Varon has been called "very funny" (The New Yorker), "hilarious" (The Washington Post), and "wildly entertaining" (SF Chronicle). He has been performing at The Marsh for over two decades, where his many solo shows have won audience and critical acclaim. These shows–all created in collaboration with David Ford–include Rush Limbaugh in Night School, The People's Violin and Rabbi Sam. Charlie has performed all over the country, and his plays have been translated into 820 languages.
Press & Media
"Literary, comic gold. There's nothing surprising about Charlie Varon's ability to play four people in one car so skillfully that there's never any doubt about who's saying what, nor his remarkable skills as a satirist of our times. This is the vocal mimic who used to rattle off entire mock BBC news broadcasts, with indelibly voiced correspondents from every corner of the world…What's particularly striking about Varon's 'Feisty Old Jew,' the world premiere that opened Saturday at the Marsh, is its literary quality." – SF Chronicle
"Captivating!" — theidiolect.com
"Beautifully written. Varon is a captivating figure and skillful storyteller." — San Francisco Examiner
"An intoxicatingly delicious ride." – My Cultural Landscape

on June 6, 2013We've had our eye the men's-wear store Carson Street Clothiers since its inception. It was a long, arduous journey from abandoned storefront to bustling style outpost, and we can't help but swell with pride much like doting parents over its success.
Now that things are up and running smoothly at their actual store, co-owners Matt Breen and Brian Trunzo have finally flung open the (digital) doors of their online shop. Now, those who aren't able to make it to their Crosby Street location (yes, you read that right Carson Street Clothiers is not located on a Carson Street) are able to digitally peruse a selection of their goods.
And while the offering may be limited right now they'll be expanding over the summer checking it out is definitely worth it. Currently available is a handsome roster of summer-friendly tailoring, selvedge denim, footwear, and accessories from Style Blog favorites including Ovadia & Sons, LBM 1911, Ian Velardi, Loake, Want les Essentiels de la Vie, and, of course, Carson Street's own in-house line.

Hmm Chris hadn't thought about the full sun aspect. As they're quite cheap it'd be worth trying a few. How about planting some just outside the tunnel?
They grow about 2 ft tall. Here's a photo I took last year
Mine didn't start fruiting till the 3rd year. Otherwise ditto what Bob says, especially as they're in pots. Keep the soil moist, but not soggy
Allium sphaerocephalon. The bees adore them! I tend to plant to attract bees but these are the bees knees!
Thank you for all your replies and ideas. My current rotary drier is a collapsible one and also has a cover which makes it a little less noticeable (if you squint). My back garden sounds about the size of Dove's old garden - maybe a bit bigger, but currently half of it is patio, and this is what I want to reduce and grow more plants. I'm even toying with turning it into a no-mow herb lawn. I saw some fake grass today.....Nah
So with regards to the drier, yes Victoria practicality will have to take priority. It will have to stay where it is. I've removed the lower branches from the Damson tree and pruned the Corkscrew Hazel so the duvet cover and sheets are free of green stripes and captured bees. Back to the patio dilemma
I want to re-design my small back garden as I've hotched-potched it over the years around an over-sized patio. I've been trawling books and t'internet for months now, and the thing that strikes me about all these designs is no-one seems to take into account the washing line or, as in my case, a rotary airer.
Am I the only gardener who dries laundry outside? Has everyone succumbed to an electric drier? I'm all for gardening forever, housework whenever, but even I have to wash the occasional item. Anyone seen a useful book? Companion planting and laundry? Wildlife gardening and undies?
The clay, rocks and soil aren't particularly the problem. The roots would be, as they're likely to grow into plants you don't want, so I'd get as many of those out as you can.
You could give it over to wildlife, in which case there are 3 plants I know that are pretty much indestructible - at least in my garden. These are Aquilegia, Californian poppies, and (holding breath here) Nettles. The Aquilegia and Poppies are loved by bees - at least the yellow poppies are, and the Nettles are loved by butterflies amongst others. See http://www.nettles.org.uk/nettles/wildlife.asp.
I keep the nettles and Aquilegia under control, but let the poppies seed themselves.
I've been getting home from work and gardening till it goes dark. Wonderful!
I made blackcurrant jam at the weekend. At the moment 2 plants growing that are really attracting bees - Allium sphaerocephalon, and butterflies - Marjoram.
To keep cool, wear something wet - I wet my hat a lot when I'm gardening in hot weather.
A friend of mine, who lives in a hot country, keeps her clothes overnight in the fridge in one of those plastic bags you get for packing in a suitcase. She also takes clothes out the washing machine and puts them straight on
Hi Verdun, agreed March was disappointing from our perpesctive, and a lot of sowing and planting had to be delayed but I do think a lot of the plants seem to have benefitted. I thought my apples might have suffered but I've got lots of fruit developing.
Right, back to work, gardening or housework ........... hmmm which do you think might be the choice?
I had a problem many years ago with an invasive plant from my non-gardening neighbour's garden. I put Glyphosate on every leaf that came over my side. As Glyphosate is a systemic weed killer it goes through the leaves to the root. Looking at those photos I think you'd be justfied in doing that. Nothing wrong with a bit of stealth gardening
I once planted Russian vine - never again!
Thought I'd put up a photo of 3 of mine which have been wonderful this year. Warsaw Nike and Etoille Violette grow together. Pii
lu After years of failing with Clematis I know seem to have deveoped the knack. I now have 5 and still looking for some more.
Dove, Taylors is always my first port of call. Great selection and good site

The SAMFund holds a unique place amongst not just cancer-related organizations, but non-profits in general. Founder and cancer survivor Sam Eisenstein Watson focuses on a niche —Â young adult survivors of cancer — and recognizes that the tremendous financial costs of battling the disease can be more difficult to battle than the emotional ones.
People are strong, and with love and support can show amazing resilience. But bank accounts are fluid, and can too quickly be drained with hospital bills, coupled with missed work or school.
By providing financial assistance to young adult survivors of cancer, and working tirelessly for those it helps, The SAMFund empowers the individuals it helps to regain control of their lives after frightening interruptions from the disease.

Gary council action helps create jobs
By Michelle L. Quinn Post-Tribune correspondent April 16, 2013 10:32PM
Updated: May 22, 2013 6:16AM
GARY — At least 24 new jobs are slated to come to the city via ordinances passed by the Common Council.
The council passed 8-0, with Councilwoman Marilyn Krusas, D-1, absent, an ordinance authorizing the city to issue $11.5 million in revenue bonds for the Kirk Yard project. The move was the last step in moving the project forward and took several months to reach the council floor.
In turn, the city forged an agreement with Kirk Yard owner Canadian National Railway to make available to Gary residents many of the expected 150 jobs from that project, Economic Development Director Forest Hayes said. The jobs portion is written into the agreement's financials, so it's tied directly to the funding.
The railroad is already identifying local contractors for the remaining 15 percent of the construction work, he said. As well, CN will work with the city's New Day, New Jobs initiative to fit workers with positions.
"The good thing about this is CN has agreed to open up the jobs to our residents company-wide, so once they're trained, they become part of the union and therefore are eligible for jobs wherever," Hayes said. "With the building trades, you have to be part of the union before you can get a job."
The council also passed 7-1, with Councilwoman Kim Robinson casting the lone "no" vote, an ordinance that establishes an economic redevelopment zone for Metal Processing Corp. at 201 Mississippi St. The company received a 10-year tax abatement that will see property taxes decline 10 percent each year.
The abatement would be on personal property, not the land itself, said Vito LoVerde, corporate counsel for MPC.
The coiled-steel manufacturer will expand its 300,000-square-foot warehouse by an additional 70,000 to 80,000 square feet. It will lease the additional footage, LoVerde said, to accommodate $5.7 million in new equipment.
The first round of equipment has already been ordered and should take around 10 months to arrive, he said.
With the addition, MPC expects to add at least eight employees, but the total would likely be closer to 24 to cover second and third shifts, LoVerde said.
In other business, Council President Kyle Allen said landlords and property managers have until April 30 to register their rental property with the city without incurring a fee.

I left whey protein powder and will never go back, March 1, 2010
By Frijole "Ben" (Birmingham, Alabama United States)
I've always used whey protein. Lately I've found whey protein powder to be harsh on my stomach. Genetically I have high cholesterol too, and whey protein powder does contain cholesterol.
So, I looked for an alternative. I wanted something organic that didn't make a lot of ridiculous claims like the whey protein powders do. All that stuff those companies claim is garbage. All those protein powders are the same and they're all overpriced. And no one polices that industry. Who knows the actual quality of all those whey protein powders? I figured there has to be some type of protein that doesn't have cholesterol and that isn't soy based (since I have a fear of estrogen).
My search basically came down to rice protein powder, yellow pea protein powder and hemp protein powder. After doing a bit of research, it seems that hemp has a lot of really healthy offerings. Sad that so many have abused it and created a stigma around it. So I chose the hemp protein powder.
Anyway, Nutiva is a company that seems to know what they're doing. I checked out their website and it has a lot of great information and it's well put together. And they don't make ridiculous claims. Now, I'm not a hippie at all, but after watching documentaries like "Food, Inc" I have become more conscious of eating organic foods or at least foods from companies that have responsible practices.
The hemp protein powder itself tastes earthy. I don't particularly like the taste, but all the whey protein powders (who claim to taste great) taste awful so I don't really care too much. The only way I consume the hemp protein powder is in smoothies because a banana will cancel out most of the earthy flavor. Organic Peanut butter does a great job too. I use the Kirkland organic peanut butter from Costco, which is really good.
The best thing about the hemp protein powder is that it has fiber in it and is perfectly easy on my stomach. I was having issues in the bathroom before I started using the hemp protein powder and those issues stopped immediately after. We'll just say the additional fiber in my diet helped me out. But my stomach never hurts after drinking a smoothie with the hemp protein in it, quite the opposite effect of the whey protein smoothies I was drinking.
I lift weights and train pretty hard 3-4 times a week and I feel like my recovery with the hemp protein powder is just as good (if not better) than my recovery with the whey protein. It's bioavailable protein. Your body knows what to do with it.
I highly recommend this product. Even if you're not a hippie.

- Conference date: 31 Aug - 4 Sept 1998
- Location: Asilomar, California (USA)
The Penning trap mass spectrometer (PTMS) at the University of Washington has been rebuilt into a new state-of-the-art magnet/cryostat system with external Helmholtz compensation coils (controlled by a nearby flux-gate sensor). This system gives a total magnetic shielding factor of (which includes the effects of a passive internal flux-stabilizing coil supplied by the manufacturer). When the new magnet/cryostat is fitted with a system to control its boil-off pressure, the typical temporal field stability is ∼−0.017(2) ppb/h. The ultimate resolution of this improved spectrometer is expected to exceed 0.020 ppb with 100 hours of data using a single ion. The comparison of a ion with a ion suggests that the spectrometer's accuracy may indeed match its resolution. To demonstrate the spectrometer's improved performance over its previous version, the cyclotron frequency of a single proton is compared to the corresponding frequency of a single ion, yielding a determination of the proton's atomic mass given by The primary systematic error (overcome in this case) is due to a position sensitivity within the non-uniform magnetic field, enhanced by the electrostatic trapping potentials of these ions which differ by a factor of three. A residual limitation to the overall field stability appears to be due to a long-term temperature-dependent temporal wander in the magnetic field.

We're starting a MB reno and we just saw some Riobel faucets and shower fixtures that we liked. The prices seem very reasonable. I've never heard of this Canadian company before. Has anyone purchased and installed these? Any comments or recommendations? Should we stay clear of them or do they have a good reputation? I couldn't find anything in the forums about them or on the web. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi. We have Riobel faucets and shower fixtures in one of our bathrooms. No complaints. They were bought at a reputable kitchen and bath place locally here in Canada. They are made in Quebec. They are good quality as far as I know. |
- Posted by jbrazmania (My Page) on Thu, Feb 7, 13 at 9:59
Thanks for your follow-up post, door1. We would be buying it from a plumbing supply company in Massachusetts. They had nothing but positive things to say about Riobel, but I had never heard of them. Their prices seem very reasonable, too! |
We're building a five-bathroom home, and quite a few plumbing fixtures on our final list are Riobel - including a floor-mount master bathtub filler, rainshower and handshower heads, sink faucets....- to name a few. They felt solid in my hands, although what do i know... and they are at a great price point too. As i had never heard of the brand before i did some google on it, and found that PLUMBERS REALLY HATE RIOBEL!!! many of the plumbers also comment on how they had to talk to the tile setter specifically before installing any Riobel trims.... the showroom sales ALL rave about it, ("oh it's a good brand! they do wholesale / high end spec houses that's why you've never heard about them the way you heard about Toto and Kohler") - same thing i found on plumber forums... i wonder how much of a kickback Riobel must offer to showroom sales worldwide, that EVERYONE seems effectively bribed to sing their praises? Are the said praises fabricated, or well deserved?? would REALLY appreciate any first-hand feedback on Riobel products, esp things that are hard or expensive to replace (behind the wall etc), before we bite the bullet. |
We have Riobel fixtures for our new shower. Was the only way I could justify going with Brushed Nickel as every other line was so much more expensive in the BN finish. We haven't installed them yet, DH is 'the plumber'. Our experience was similar to others, bought from a very reputable plumbing supply place who thought Riobel was excellent, and they have had no complaints! I was talked out of a more expensive line as they said the fittings were more cheaply made... will post again in a year or so with a follow-up (hopefully positive! :>) |

Should my pool filter run 24/7 or less than that?
I just installed a new gunite pool in NJ. |
Follow-Up Postings:
When curing most plaster finishes, it's 24/7 for a month or so. Then about 1 to 1.25 turns of the pool's volume per day, during the day. For all other pools, about 1 to 1.25 turns of the pool's volume per day, during the day. During colder months, for those that don't winterize, about a 1/3rd of a turn is enough due to chlorine's departure is significantly reduced by the colder water. Less energy is available then. Not your issue Jeremy. Scott |
Thanks a lot. That's helpful. |

We refer to the contestants of this year's Distinguished Young Women of Tennessee scholarship program. It doesn't seem possible that a full year has come and gone since our DYW special guests, and their hundreds of family members, friends and other loved ones graced the landscape of our welcoming community.
To quote a familiar adage, "Time flies when you're having fun."
And that's exactly what happens each year in July when Cleveland takes the spotlight as the center stage for the popular DYW program.
This is certainly not our first.
Who would believe this is the sixth consecutive year the popular statewide DYW event has chosen our community as its host city? In truth, the widely respected program over the years has traveled from city to city — in most cases, the bigger metro areas — in order to bring its zest and the beautiful smiles of its contestants to different corners of Tennessee.
We use the word "beautiful" in a special context.
Those who are familiar with the premise of the Distinguished Young Woman scholarship program — formerly known as the Junior Miss — best understand it as being a life-changing and experiential event in the lives of young women.
It is about beauty. But this beauty comes from deep within ... the heart, the soul, the very fabric of what makes these young ladies the apples of their parents' eyes.
It is about graciousness. Some believe this to be a dying trait in today's society where words like "rat race" and "deadline" and "hurry" dominate the day. But we know better ... because we know programs like Distinguished Young Women remind us of the value in treating others as we wish to be treated.
It is about community service. The heart of the Distinguished Young Woman contestant is probably the biggest of all because its path in life is one that is directed to the needs, to the comfort and to the well-being of others.
It is about talent. The young women of the DYW program are among the finest in self-expression. They sing. They dance. They make the music of generational love. They recite poetry. They understand that life is a gift and the greatest gift that can be given is the expression of life.
It is about education. DYW contestants don't enter this program for glory or prestige. They do it for the scholarships and for personal growth. To educate the mind is to prepare the heart for the challenges of another day.
It is about ambassadorship. Everywhere a DYW contestant travels, she represents her family, her school, her church, her hometown and all who have had a hand in influencing her direction.
Today, the Distinguished Young Women of Tennessee contestants arrive at 1 p.m. They will convene at Cleveland Middle School and will be greeted by Courtney Miller, Distinguished Young Woman of Tennessee 2014 who shined on a Cleveland stage last year and who hails from Rhea County.
Host families will also be on hand to escort them to their weeklong homes away from homes.
Although their week chock full of activities will begin with a calm picnic tonight at Red Clay State Park, they will launch four days of rehearsals, interviews, community service projects and personal visits first thing Monday morning.
Their week will include a volunteer activity at Garden Plaza Retirement Community on Tuesday and another civic service Thursday along the Cleveland/Bradley County Greenway. They will rehearse twice a day for long hours Monday through Thursday in preparation for Friday night's preliminaries and Saturday night's finals, both at the beautiful Dixon Center on the Lee University campus.
We wish them well, these 24 adopted daughters of Cleveland and Bradley County. We hope you, your family, friends and loved ones, enjoy your stay.
For the next week, Cleveland's population will swell just a little.
And we couldn't be happier!
Our warmest welcome to: Hannah Kimberly Reese, Allyson Elizabeth Coyle, Caitlyn Marie Moro, Kadee Lynn Klimowicz, Kathleen Michaela Guice, Cara Leigh Creighton, Choe Michaela Lyle, Savannah Beth Willard, Madeline Deneen Fest, Charnae Gyana Hines, Julia Zarianna Hurley, Peyton Kirby Wilson, Allyn Mackenzie Guice, Hannah Darlynn King, Ryleigh Paige Stewart, Macy Jean Marin, Destiny Irene Mears, Rachel Michele Moffett, Lacy Cheyenne Slinker, Emily Melissa Wilt, Ashley Rebekah Stevens, Savannah Eloise Stone (Distinguished Young Woman of Cleveland), Courtney Sherry Johnson and Elizabeth Neely Merriman.

Rubber Pin Box
The RPB
Back to Category Menu
Fifth wheel owners know about that harsh, jerky, chucking action that comes from towing a fifth wheel. They also recognize that some roads will just wear you out from that jerking/chucking action. They have just come to accept it as a normal part of towing. These uncomfortable aspects of towing are the result of longitudinal and lateral forces being transmitted from the trailer to the truck. They cause that troublesome chucking action you feel, especially on Interstate highways with expansion joints. They also contribute to the harshness and jerking you feel when going over railroad tracks or roads with that washboard effect. And, these forces cause that "clunking feeling" when you come to a stop and start up again. The MOR/ryde Pin Box System provides: Greatly reduced back-and-forth chucking and jerking Cushioned sensation over uneven road conditions Jerk-fee starts and stops Smoother, more comfortable in-cab ride See the Pin Box in action The MOR/ryde pin box system utilizes a unique rubber shear spring to positively deal with this rough, towing road shock. The rubber spring works in a horizontal planar motion (in a longitudinal and lateral motion) to absorb the towing shock. This allows the MOR/ryde pin box system to effectively diminish the transfer of forces from the trailer to the truck. The MOR/ryde pin box system can be installed on most fifth wheel trailers. Installation is bolt-on and typically takes about one hour. Watch the full product video > United States Patent Number 6,986,524
Ordering a MOR/ryde Pin Box System for your fifth wheel is very simple and straight forward. Please identify the following: What is the part number of the stock pin box? (usually found on a label on the pin box) What is the GVWR of the Trailer? MOR/ryde has a specific rubber spring for different weight ratings. Download the Pin Box Fit Chart to cross reference these answers to a MOR/ryde RPB part number. OR, if the stock part number is not available, a few easy measurements will tell you what you need. Please download the Pin Box Identification Guide that outlines the measurements you need and how to cross reference them to a MOR/ryde RPB part number.

"When I watched your ad on the man who takes the tours to Alaska and back, I was skeptical. BUT, not anymore. The new pin box made our ride much more enjoyable. It did not make for a perfect ride, but what could? With the roads being what they are now and the lack of repair to them, I would recommend the MOR/ryde pin box to anyone who pulls a fifth wheel. My wife and I installed it by ourselves, with the help of a come along to load it into my hitch, and then we backed it right into the existing frame. Once we got the two upper back bolts in, it was a snap. I wish we had done this years ago." Colby West "I really like the MOR/ryde suspension and pin box system. It sure takes a lot of movement between my truck and trailer and makes it a lot smoother. My other trailer did not have it and there is a world of difference. Thanks!" James Stephens "From the first movement until 3500 miles later, this is the best investment one can put on their fifth wheel trailer. No more jerking back and forth; an unbelievable ride. Thanks to your product I still have my fillings in place." Scott Mueller "It does just as you advertised. I live on Vancouver Island in the Comox Valley. The paved roads can be like a roller coaster in the north part of the Island. I had the surging and hammering going over bridges and roads with sagging black top and frost heaves. I read this pin box would improve the ride fairly well, so I thought I'd take a chance on installing one. It's a difference between night and day. I love the thing. Don Bool "I just installed my new pin box before Christmas. We departed on a short 500 mile trip after Christmas. What a significant difference the new pin box made. I will be one who forwards the reward of a MOR/ryde pin box." Richard Stokes "We had the MOR/ryde pin box installed on our Travel Supreme 5th wheel at the Rally in Goshen. When leaving the Rally I noticed a difference immediately as we crossed the RR tracks it was like I could feel the truck go over the tracks but not the trailer. The pin box performed excellent al the way home, as there is a great improvement in the ride on the interstate roads that had previously given us a push pull ride." Dennis Nelson "Just wanted to let you know how happy we are with your MOR/ryde fifth wheel hitch that we bought from you at the Florida camper show. Our ride home from Florida to Maine was our first chance to use the hitch and we couldn't believe the difference in the ride, it was all you said it would be and we would recommend it to anybody with a fifth wheel."

I have LOTS of different tomato seed varieties (Approx 70 different) and am looking to trade for different hot pepper varieties. Here is the deal - Most of my tomato seeds are from 2006/2007 growing season, however over the last week I randomly tested 15 different varieties from 2006/2007 and 14 of the 15 came up within 5 days, these seeds have been dried and stored properly and are still very viable. I am willing to trade 5 tomato varieties for each 1 of your peppers seeds that are on my "Want List" or 4 tomato varieties for each 1 of Hot pepper varieties you propose to me not on my wish list. I also have a limited amount of Trinidad Moruga Scorpion seeds to trade. Let me know if you are interested in doing a trade. http://www.gardenweb.com/members/exch/pepperseedman |

FAQS: Can Root Kill harm my pipes/sewer lines? Root Kill will not harm the commode pipes when used as directed. Do not apply Root Kill through sink or tub drains as it may corrode these metals.

Now Showing: Ivar Zeile and Rebecca Peebles
For this year's Now Showing, Westword's fall arts guide, we asked artistic movers and shakers to answer a few questions about the state of the arts, both locally and around the world. We'll be rolling out their answers over the next few weeks in pairs that combine both veterans and newcomers in similar disciplines. Today, we hear from independent gallerists Ivar Zeile and Rebecca Peebles. Facebook.com/DenverDigerati Denver Digerati compadres Chris Coleman, Alex McMango, Ivar Zeile and Ryan Pattie.
See also: Now Showing: Kent Thompson and Emily Tarquin
Denver Theatre District's "Friday Flash" program 2013 from Denver Digerati on Vimeo.
Ivar Zeile, Plus GalleryIvar Zeile's Plus Gallery has evolved through a few guises over the last ten or more years into one of Denver's plum galleries, where art both collectable and adventurous draws continuing crowds to view work by local and national artists. With a stable that includes such hot emerging names as Jenny Morgan and Xi Zhang, Zeile not only champions work with depth, but also pushes parameters. More recently, he's curated Friday Flash public digital-art and video programs with Ryan Pattie for the Denver Theatre District, opening up a whole new level of interest locally.
What do you think of recent developments in your field, and the current scene?
The field of visual arts has expanded like wildfire in the last several years. On the surface that looks like a very positive thing, but my sense is that its all very overwhelming for a community like Denver's and brings with it a lot more questions than answers. Namely, is there genuine patron support behind the upswing? Can the media possibly cover it all in a meaningful way? A lot of great talent with depth has been brewing in Denver over the last decade or more, but trying to maintain quality and high standards is still a major challenge.
What could be done to improve the scene?
Numerous individuals and operations within the visual-art scene could stand to be more professional and respectful in their approach to others. Leaders, whether business or community, could have a more honest, concrete understanding of what allows an art scene to thrive, what patronage is, and a desire to be a part of getting it there. Artists could also be more thoughtful in how the "network" is structured and their role within it. Collectors could do a lot to improve the scene simply by "buying in" and continuing to support artists as they mature. Price-point and demand seem to be a major factors in why the best artists choose to leave the city for higher ground. Young professionals could possibly stand to take a few art-appreciation classes, that's for sure. Overall, everyone could broaden their thinking and understanding of what makes a scene function well. There's not a single component that bears the brunt; there are really so many important "tipping" points that need to be reached. Oh, and eliminating the mountains and natural beauty of the state would help, as would getting rid of the Internet and cell phones, lowering gas prices and having a system of government that everyone believes in.
Who/what has inspired you most in your career?
The people who have given me authentic long-term support -- those who have made the transition from being interested in art to being patrons and have started to understand the real nature of what that means, particularly as it relates to artists' careers, the livelihood of the gallery and Denver's image as a place where great art can be nurtured. Quite a number of artists that I've worked with, I don't think would have lasted more than a few years if it wasn't for their talent, understanding and human decency that has gone well above and beyond the norm. My wife -- boy, what she has put up with. And my kid, who just told his first-grade class that he wants to be an "art dealer" when he grows up!
Who/what will you be watching for this arts season?
We just opened an outstanding exhibition by Allie Pohl, one of the smartest, young artists anywhere right now; she is moving forward by leaps and bounds on the national level. Jenny Morgan is still on track to become one of the greatest artists ever to come out of Denver; her major NYC debut occurs in October and was just touted as one of top 100 shows worldwide of the fall season by Modern Painters, quite deservedly so. Xi Zhang is also ready to expand his base outside of Colorado. I think the world is ready to open up to his remarkable talent based on the inquiries we've received from both galleries and collectors this year. I look forward to further growth and interest in my community project Denver Digerati, a major focus of my efforts lately. I really can't sleep at night half the time due to the ideas percolating because of it. And Milton Melvin Croissant III: Keep an eye on that great name. He's blown my mind for the last couple of years now, and I would expect this Denver original to continue doing so.
