Grilled Trout with Savory Marinade
From Food & Wine
Trout and summer savory form an ideal marriage. Both are mild-mannered, so they blend beautifully, neither upstaging the other. Serve the dish with equally mellow vegetables, such as buttered green beans and grilled or roasted potatoes.

- 4 teaspoon(s) lemon juice
- 2.50 teaspoon(s) dried summer savory, or 2 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh savory
- 3/4 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) fresh-ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup(s) olive oil
- 8 trout fillets (about 2 pounds in all)
- Lemon wedges, for serving
- Light the grill or heat the broiler. In a small glass or stainless-steel bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, savory, salt, and pepper. Add the oil slowly, whisking.
- Put the trout fillets in a medium glass dish or stainless-steel pan. Add the marinade and turn the fillets to coat.
- Grill or broil the fish 2 minutes. Turn and cook until just done, about 2 minutes longer for 1/4-inch-thick fillets. Serve with the lemon wedges.
- Wine Recommendation: A delicately flavored Muscadet or Sancerre will enhance the trout rather than compete with it, and neither of these wines will be washed out by the lemon, because they are both high in acidity.

Whale Tail Hook
Very nice inspiration
Vice nice, subtantial, and easy to install. The small size is plenty large enough for a robe or oversized towel. The only dissapointment when these arrived was that they are not a silver chrome finish as pictured, but more the color and texture of concrete which doesn't match my fixtures as intended. We used 2 small Whale Hooks in our basement bathroom instead of a towel bar for practical reasons but they inspired us to complete a yacht club theme throughout our small midwest home since we miss our live-a-board life in the winter.
December 15, 2013
Love, Love, Love the Whale Tail Hooks! I was looking for something unique for our newly installed pool area. As soon as I saw these, my search was over!
October 31, 2013
The tails are DARK pewter, matte finish. Not at all shinu, and most definitely not as shown in the pic with the white striped towel and orange bathing suit. I was under the impression that they might even be stainless steel colored. NOT AT ALL. very sturdy great hooks but not the color i wanted.
September 25, 2013
Whale Tail Hook
These were perfect. Just the thing I needed for the beach house. They hold towels and beach bags perfectly and look amazing on the wall. I didn't want to do the same ol' same ol' at the house and this fit the bill perfectly. I have them mixed with the anchor hooks (similar to what is displayed). I couldn't be happier.
September 17, 2013
whale tales
good quality. not to heavy but strong enough to hold a large damp towel.. I like the look
August 29, 2013
Towel tails
Years ago I purchased the largest size tails to use as my pool tools (poles with nets & brushes) holder.
Since then I decided I needed some wet towel holders for the pool area as well, so I purchased 2 sets of the medium sized tails. They will be perfect for this use.
FYI - The large tails have been sitting in the FL sun/rain for about 7 or 8 years and in my mind have stood the test of time and I still love them.
August 20, 2013
Love the look!
Very sturdy and looks great in my laundry room. The kids use these for wet pool towels. I have 5 lined up (alternating heights). Looks great. Would prefer if screws matched finish on tails but I just used a silver sharpie to fix that. Recently ordered more for the pool house. Thought I should mix it up since I already have these in the main house but could not find anything I preferred better than these. I now own 10 whale tails.

whale of an item
Looking for some unique and well made decorations for my patio...found them.
July 16, 2013
Whale Tail Hooks
Quality excellent. Sturdy and gorgeous. I have bought these in all sizes and use them everywhere in my waterfront home. I have received numerous compliments and recommend them highly.
May 23, 2013
Very Satisfied
I really like the Whale Tail Hooks. The are unique and stylish, with a lot of personality. They are sturdy and durable. They were bigger than I anticipated, but that is fine. I am very happy with them!
May 14, 2013
Whale tail hooks
We are very pleased with the Whale tail hooks. We placed four of them next to our outdoor shower. They attached very easily and securely to the Hardy Plank siding of the house. They look great.
April 18, 2013
Whale Tail Hook
I was looking for a unique kind of hook to hang my towel on in the bathroom. The tale is perfect for this type of application indoors. The only thing odd was that the screws were different sizes.
April 12, 2013
Love the Whale Tails!
We renovated our bathroom in a beach theme (porthole mirrors and all) and used the Whale Tails for towel hooks. It gave us the exact look we were hoping for! They are attractive and appear to be very durable.
The only drawback was the price since they were a little on the expensive side.
February 13, 2013
High quality
Purchased the whale tails for my back porch. Wanted to hang my brooms, mops, etc that were kept in the corner. These tails continue the beach look of my house to help store unsightly cleaning materials. They are heavy, thick and just overall perfect. Very pleased with this purchase.
September 27, 2012
Great quality
These are really high quality and work very well. They are a little heavy but that's why we wanted them. My parents have had them for years and they are very weather resistant and still look new.
September 26, 2012
Like em!
Hubby put these up: lined up four in a row on the wall of the house outside by the pool and realized how sturdy they are. They look cute too! Tried to put 3 noodles across them and they would only hold one. True description of size: small. Might put our beach towels on them? Would suggest the larger size.
June 14, 2012
Items exactly as described online
I purchased online - it was straight forward & very easy. Delivery was fast. I liked the e-mail updates. I thought the shipping cartons were way too large & unnecessary but nothing was damaged.
May 9, 2012
Whale Tail Hooks
Very substantial and attractive product. Very useful around the pool area to hang towels and pool equiptment. Nice nautical look in and around beach house as well.
January 19, 2012
Good Purchase
They really look nice on my pool deck and are a decorative addition to my outside space.
January 9, 2012
Whale Tail Hooks
After purchasing an old boat oar in old town St. Augustine, we stored it for several years, wondering what to do with it. The Whale Tails were just perfect for hanging it, poolside, over the sliding glass door entrance. The quality is excellent & packed with screws for easy installation. We LOVE this purchase - we bought the set of Two Medium.
September 26, 2011
whale tail hooks
Just what I was looking for. Mediums great for hanging pool poles. Small for hanging towels etc in cabana.
September 24, 2011
Just right!
I live in a climate that does not have access to a lot of pool accessories and using coat hooks to hold poles is not the best. These are wonderful and provide enough surface to hold several poles.
September 23, 2011
These hooks are great. Very cute, however a little smaller than I imagined. I think I will order large next time!
September 9, 2011
Should have bought to begin with . . .
I originally saw these hooks a few years ago. I never bought them because I thought they were a bit "pricey". I tried to use other means to organize my pool tools but nothing seemed to work or hold up. I eventually ordered these hooks and was so sorry I took so long to do so because they are exactly what I needed.
August 30, 2011
I purchased these a couple months ago and am very please with the quality and attractiveness. So far, they have held up well to the weather. NO changes in color. Whenever company is over and enjoying the pool....the hooks receive their 15 minutes of fame! So cute! :0)
July 30, 2011
Whale Tail Hooks
Very nice. I should have bought the bigger size. Even though you give the demensions, hard to tell how far out from wall the Whale Tail Hook goes. Very easy to install, worked nicely.
July 17, 2011
Great Hooks
These were purchased as a gift. They look beautiful. They will be used in a pool house to hang beach towels.
July 13, 2011
Great looking and useful
easy to install and look great on our house in the pool area. They hold everything from towels and swimsuits to the kids goggles. Expensive but will hopefully last a long time.
July 5, 2011
Whale Tail Hook
We purchased the small hooks for our towels next to our hot tub. The finish is very good, the quality is nice and hefty and they were easy to mount. Two thumbs up.
June 28, 2011
Diving whale tail...
As I was searching for just the right towel hooks for a clients cottage remodel, I came across these. They are substantial, the perfect angle and a very real replica of the grey whales we see here, in the waters right outside of the cottage, here in Sitka Alaska!

About four to six months ago, Frontgate offered three sizes of whale tail hooks.The smallest size is no longer offered. Currenlty only two sizes are offered. The old medium size has become the small size.I believe the smallest size was offered only as a set of three. I need the smallest size to complete my outdoor shower. Thanks.

Thank you for your interest in Frontgate. The Small Whale Tail Hooks are available; however, they are now sold individually rather than in a set of 3. On the "Select Size" drop down for item 3441, you have the option to order the Small or the Large hooks.Has staff answer

I am a senior in high school, and I agree. But, one thing you should think about is that your spiritual walk should't be affected by how others act around you. Just keep trying to lead others to God. He sees inside your heart. You're not made to be perfect. GOD BLESS YOU! |
abba-lover 1/12/2003 19:26 |
I am a 8th grader in middle school. I have the smae problems. I do agree you shouldnt be affected by the wasy people around you act but its hard not to be. My best friend and I are not friends anymore because she was doing thing that wasnt godlt and told her that if she wanted to do those things i wasnt gonna be her friend. It's been 3 months since ive talked to her, because of that very reason. Now I love her dearly and if she changes i will be her best friend again but untill then we are on hold... i had to give my best friend up to stay close with god. |

Brand new doily stamps, arrived quickly, safely!
Jul 02, 2011
By KonaRose "Rosy"
These are beautiful cling type stamps.
The stamps are detailed nicely - I get a crisp, clean image when stamping. Currently I use them as wreath images, then stamp some florals around it, also as topiaries and then hand paint the stem in between the round stamped images to tie them together. The larger ones have a big enough space inside to place a small greeting, too.
They stick to my acrylic blocks very well. Easy to clean. I just use baby wipes on them, they dry fast, and I replace them onto the clear plastic sheet it arrived on.

Good small doilies
Apr 16, 2014
By Pinupgirl
I couldn't find doilies small enough for tags I was making and found these stamps. They work well. Are a bit hard to remove the first time and thought I might tear them getting them off the plastic sheet. After a little tug they came off and now seem to come off better. Makes a nice impression. I think I will get a lot of use out of these.

Brighton & Hove Albion have announced Casper Ankergren, Bruno and Inigo Calderon have each signed new one-year contracts with the club.
New Albion manager Sami Hypia has backed the experienced trio to help with Brighton's push for promotion into the Premier League.
After evaluating his squad, the former Liverpool defender - who was sacked by Bayer Leverkusen in April - identified re-signing Ankergren, Bruno and Calderon as a priority.
"Casper, Bruno and Inigo have been important members of the squad in recent years, and I am pleased they have agreed terms with club for another year,\" he said.
"They're experienced heads with a lot of games between them, they know the Championship well and they give us continuity within the squad.
"I had a limited knowledge of all three, but Nathan Jones has given me some sound input on the entire squad - including the three of them.
"Having had a chance to review a number of DVDs from last season, I can see their qualities and I am sure they'll continue to be key for us in the season ahead."
Ankergren, 34, has made 75 appearances since joining the club in 2010 after previous spells at Leeds United and Brondby and Koge in his native Denmark.
Defender Bruno, 33, is entering his third season with Albion after arriving from Valencia on a free transfer, making a total of 64 appearances for the Seagulls and scoring two goals in the process.
Inigo Calderon - the club's longest-serving player - has scored 15 goals since joining in January 2010 after playing for Alaves and Alicante in his native Spain.
All three players have resumed training and are expected to take part in Brighton's pre-season curtain-raiser at Lewes on Saturday.

This is another dope dude who's posts rarely get comments wtf?
I REALLY REALLY hope somebody discovers this guy soon. He has soo much potential. It doesnt make sense. He should be so much further. He'll get his chance sooner than later.
killed it
@gcrazy: quality artists take time to grow their audience. This kid is the truth, maybe it won't happen just yet, but his time will come. On a side note: he's gotta stick to a more hip-hop style of production. He sounds great on this....not really feeling his latest project. A couple of the tracks are cool but I can't get into the whole electro vibe for a whole album
i agree with ya'll. how the FUCK does someone like jcole get so much attention and quest doesn't? pshh. foh.
@lol I thought his last project was incredible and refreshing to say the least. It wasn't the same hip hop shit. QuESt gets it. He just needs to get A break somehow. The electro sound helps him stand out a lot,
@nassie maybe the songs aren't strong enough yet...I don't know, it just wasn't my thing I guess. He stands out on almost any style of production, so I don't think he needs the electro sound to stand out. Like any artist...he just needs dope production, stand out songs and the rest will take of itself. Jay-Z wouldn't be where he's at if it wasn't for the consistency
@lo I believe he has that. Just a differentpce in opinions. Besides, We both agree on one thing, quest is dope. And he deserves more recognition. Dudes been putting in work for years. I hope he gets his spot and time soon.
He goes IN on this shit.

The long and short of NATO
Tension among alliance members compounds the challenge of the task at hand (Afghanistan) and a larger universe of threats for which NATO must prepare -- such as a nuclear Iran.
This has not been a good week for the NATO alliance. The Dutch government fell over the issue of its NATO troops in Afghanistan, while at least 21 Afghan civilians were killed by NATO pilots who mistook them for insurgents. The upshot: the Dutch plan to pull out in August; the NATO commander in Afghanistan, US Gen. Stanley McChrystal, had to apologize on national television to the Afghans and directly to President Hamid Karzai.
But this has also been a good month for NATO.
The transatlantic alliance, along with Afghan troops, is making progress in its assault on the Taliban stronghold of Marjah. Key Taliban leaders in Pakistan have been arrested. The Taliban are on the defensive.
The snapshot vs. the longer-running video is worth remembering as the 28-member military grouping of democratic nations struggles to hold together in the ninth year of war in Afghanistan – and much longer into the future: NATO is about to write its "strategic concept," a periodic rethink that defines its reason for being.

The goal of laning is not to get fed with kills, but rather to get farmed. Aggression, and kills, will happen if someone gets out of position and can be punished for it, or if the jungler(or a roaming solo laner) ganks, but barring these things, kills shouldn't be happening. At low levels of play, people are out of position alot, which is why kills happen more often in laning, even without jungle intervention, and this is also why you seem to feel like a passive lane, where your carry isn't being aggressive, is a reason for you to be elsewhere. Let me assure you, this is not the case. Your carry is supposed to be passive. He should be focusing almost all of his attention on farming and staying in a safe position. When you're not there, there are alot fewer positions that are safe for him, and he can be harassed alot easier, which means he will lose alot of farm. Your goals when supporting a passive laner should be to maintain ward coverage of approaches from jungles and other lanes(this implies map awareness to observe these wards - a ward is useless if nobody is looking at the minimap when someone walks through it), protect your carry from harassment(including warding the lane bushes if necessary), and to harass the opposing carry so he can't farm as effectively. When you do this properly, your carry will scale more quickly then the opposing carry, and more safely then if you play aggressively. However, if you are unaware of these techniques, or worse, absent from lane, it turns from a passive lane to a defensive lane. Your carry will scale more slowly then his opponent, and he will be far more vulnerable to aggression in a 2v1 situation, to say nothing of jungle ganks, mid lane roams, or top teleport ganks. While it's true that he will gain a slight experience lead over his opponents, that lead will be evened out by your presence in another lane, and he will fall behind in CS, which is more valuable to an AD Carry then experience.
I'm sorry - there's just so much to quote here, so I'm gonna try to sum up in my own words. 1) The mid and top have a jungler to help them if they struggle. 2) The adc is squishy - so be there to help him out! 3) With possible exception of Leona, the role of support is to help the adc farm, not necessarily create positional opportunities for kills. Did I get that right? Also, thank you all for assuming that I already understand the basic function of wards, and how to create awareness for my carry so it's easier for him to farm. I appreciate that very much. Sereg Anfaug - once again you amaze me with the concise reply to the question I'm looking for an answer to. Thank you so much!! Alright, two more questions then I think I'll be armed with all the information I need to master this role! 1) What is a kill lane then, when compared to the standard role of supports like Sona or Soraka? 2) If the team composition is primarily AP (Vlad top, Oriana mid, Udyr (Phoenix) jungle, and Kog'Maw carry for example), is it better to pick a support who can help the whole team, like Lulu, or is it better to pick a support that helps protect the adc earlier on by counter-picking against the opponent's composition? For the record - counterpicking is an advanced technique I'll look into later when I'm closer to accessing ranked play!
1) Yes. 2) Yes. 3) Not entirely. Many supports are capable of setting up kills - Shen's taunt, Sona's ultimate, Blitzcrank's pull and knockup, Alistar's knockback and knockup, Taric's Stun/Shatter/Ult combo, Leona's hard initiate, Nunu's haste/slow/AoE slow combo, etc. If you see a lane opponent out of position(and can be relatively sure it's not a bait, meaning you know where the solo laners and jungler are, or have vision on any nearby dangerous areas), by all means, initiate and let your carry follow up. However, don't try to force an initiation when there's not a good opportunity, or when your carry is vulnerable or at a disadvantage. Counterinitiation is a possibility, too. If they go in on your AD carry, then initiate on theirs and turn the fight around(again, if you're relatively sure of the safety of that option - they may be baiting a counterinitiate for their jungle or a roaming laner to follow up on. In some cases, it's safer to peel them off your carry and try to disengage the fight). This is also why I take exhaust as my second summoner spell on my supports - it shuts down the AD carry for a brief period of time, allowing the combination of your support abilities and your carry's damage to turn a fight around. 1) Kill lane can mean a number of things. In some cases, it refers to a support with a good potential for aggression, like Leona or Blitzcrank, picked with the goal of focusing more on killing the enemy laners then protecting and harassing while farming. That doesn't mean those supports will always be played that way. I've also seen it used to refer to off-meta, usually double bruiser, but sometimes ADC/bruiser comps that also intend to shut down the opposing lane rather then outfarm them. It's not something I personally like to do. I'm a passive AD carry, so when I'm supporting, I assume the same until proven otherwise, or have a great opportunity to initiate to our advantage. I play alot of Leona, but she also has excellent defensive abilities, and can do quite alot to peel aggression off the carry, in addition to her strong initiation. 2) That's an interesting question. Usually, I play whatever my carry prefers, or I run a complementary support, like Nunu with Kog, Taric with Sivir, Soraka with Urgot, etc. I worry more about lane comp then teamcomp, when I play a support. Itemization with an AP heavy team will be different, though - you might want to focus on auras that help casters, like Soul Shroud, Will of the Ancients, or Abyssal Sceptre, rather then Zeke's, since they'll be of greater use to more of your teammates. Then again, it's also possible that AP heavy teams will already be building one or more of those, so check with your teammates to find out what they plan to build, and watch their itemization with Tab. When I'm playing Top or Jungle, I'm much more inclined to try to fill out a team comp with regards to AD or AP, then I am with other lanes. Mid is almost always an AP carry, and Bottom is almost always an AD carry with a support. Those roles are pretty well defined, and I usually try to follow them except in specific circumstances(such as picking Tryndamere to lane against an early Kass pick mid). As a support, your main focus will be ensuring your carry stays safe and gets fed/farmed. The rest of the team should take care of themselves. As the game progresses, you may find that there are choices you can make to support the team as a whole, but at champion select, you want to focus on supporting your lanemate, at least until you start working with premades or higher ELO solo queue where team composition starts to be a bigger factor. When in doubt, go with something that your carry is comfortable with, or if he doesn't have a preference, something you're comfortable with. As far as counterpicking, that's really not my area of expertise. I've played over a thousand games, and I still know relatively little about that, so I can't offer much help there.
Nice name, Featherfox. By the way, you can turn off voices in options. I personally found them very annoying, and they even turned me off some champions (I really don't like Ahri's, erm, sketchy comments).
So it's been a while - and I'm nearing the inevitable access to ranked queue. Surprisingly, I've really enjoyed playing Zyra as my main support. However, after 58 PvP matches, I only have 26 wins. If anyone does read this, I just want to know if it's common for solo queue normals to have more losses than wins? It can be frustrating to perform your duties perfectly, but the partner you're with doesn't exploit them. Or worse, your partner is doing well, and you're the one with immense lag. I've also found that even if bottom lane goes well, we can still easily lose the game. Finally, on a random note, do you guys think the following champions can support in the bottom lane: - Anivia? - Xin Zhao? - Yorick? Thank you for taking the time to read this post and reply. - Featherfox
Cat 6th
This topic was made by one of our fellow summoners: bluescarla and it has a good advices on the support role you are playing: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/....php?t=2887594 You will hear that any champion can support, but be carefull, when you reach 30 and you go ranked, you have to go with one that fulfills the support role (or they will call you troll) Anivia, Xin Zhao and Yorick "can" play the "poke support" role, it means they will try to hurt the other carry or support a lot without getting heavy damage in return. Also "kill-lane support" as they can kill the enemy support. But keep in mind that this is not optimal to win the game. HF.

You will be in a position to answer the question: Did Buffet buy all of those local newspapers to influence politics directly, or did he do it because he believes in the role of The Fourth Estate at every level of government. (Obviously he didn't do it to make a fortune, by cornering the market in local paper cash-cows!
In the bigger picture, aren't local papers inherently anti-corporate, by their very nature, because they allow more opinions, more views on various issues, uncontrolled by the mega-media corporations? Isn't that idea Liberal, even if the individual owners/editors of those papers are Conservative?

Very good
All the staff were very good. the room was very good. The cleaning staff I would pick out for particular praise, nothing to much trouble always happy to come back if your in your room. The location really is excellent for Time Square and Central Park. A top Hotel.
In a word 'Tax', to be fare it wasn't just the hotel, it every where mostly you go, but the city tax added to the final bill was quite a chunk of cash.
the location and the spacious room. great concierge services.
Staff, location
Time to start seeing to furniture renewal/refurbishment...especially fabric-covered furniture.
Location, amenities, soft bed, lovely shower!
More towels and oversize pillows would have been nice. Price ($290 for a night) is a little excessive. Better deals should be offered for travelers like myself who are already paying a lot to see a show and eat a fine dinner!
Rooms were wonderful. Comfortable and spacious.
Food in the hotel from Room Service to the Buffet Breakfast was average. Dinner was also not great. Would have liked a small meeting area on the ground floor.
Roomy King Suite, modern and clean. Good views on 43rd floor.
Bath issues - No bathroom privacy. Sliding door on large bathroom did not cover opening and created lack of privacy. No towel bars around sink or shower. Shame, because bath was huge and two headed shower stall was delightful. Should have included breakfast for the money, as the breakfast buffet was fairly limited anyway.
All suites property.
Slow elevators. Carpet needed pulling and bathroom shower floor seemed worn
The rooms clean very up-to-date views were great too Very clean and sharp
Fantastic room
Very limited public space Restaurant and bar in one room Breakfast buffet very limited and low quality
The bar/ retaurant staff were always fabulous and made us feel special. The rooms are very comfortable... It's true there is a lot of choice for great accommodation in this city, but so far it's the only NYC hotel I've come back to again and again.
Room service was terribly slow, but once it did show up it was good.
Beautiful hotel, very clean, very big room and very well equipped like a small appartment, very big and comfortable bed, very friendly and kind staff, in the heart of Manhattan 5' from Times Square, Broadway and Central Park. I would definetly go there again.
In our room the wifi was unstable and the signal was poor. For the price I was expecting at least breakfast to be included. Otherwise everything was perfect!
Great suites, great service, great gym, great bartenders!
In-room WiFi is weak
Location, staff and very very comfortable beds
The breakfast buffet and in general is terrible. It is also very very overpriced. I am surprised that Gordon Ramsey can put his name to something like this. I would receommend that you eat breakfast for half the price nearby.
Location and size of the room.
Service in restaurant terrible!! Gordon would not be happy!!
Pet friendly and the suite was wonderful for several adults
Food and drink were way too expensive
Rather large rooms Really comfortable bathroom Location Fitness Club is awesome
Concierge service View
Great location and staff. Nicely appointed room. Fantastic shower.

specifically, speed slots. I've seen 5, 7 and 9 slot kernels, but is there any special reason to limit it to that few, and is it possible to have a kernel governor which can set the CPU speed more finely, rather than at the slot presets?
Most likely adding more slots would start making the kernels extremely large and complex and actually less efficient with lower performance and battery life...also its possible that the processors just couldn't handle that complexity Sent from my Droid using DroidForums

Package Delivery Halts, But Grand Canyon's Mules Trudge On
For several decades pack mules have carried mail to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, includingg postcards, letters and packages. The company that runs the mule trains says the package load has become too heavy, so it's discontinuing service April 15.

The U.S. Postal Service announced this week that it would postpone the end of Saturday mail delivery, which it had proposed to stop earlier in the year, but mail service will halt at the bottom of the Grand Canyon where mules have delivered the mail since the 1920s. The company that runs the mule train says they will no longer deliver packages starting next week. The service was a way for loved ones to send care packages to guides rafting down the Colorado River. Laurel Morales of member station KJZZ reports from Flagstaff.
LAUREL MORALES, BYLINE: The packers are up at 3 A.M. getting the mules ready for their seven-mile trek down into the Grand Canyon.
LEVI GOLDSMITH: I need to catch up on my beauty sleep, man.
CHAS BRASHEARS: That is the truth.
GOLDSMITH: Hey, I'm here for eye candy.
MORALES: Levi Goldsmith and Chas Brashears brush and feed the mules, then strap each one with 150 pounds of saddlebags filled with boxes. They work quickly so they can leave at first light.
MORALES: The mules supply Phantom Ranch with what it needs 365 days a year. Phantom, as it's called, is a modest resort, about a dozen cabins, two bunkhouses and a restaurant on the floor of the canyon. It's nestled in the trees beside Bright Angel Creek, a tributary to the Colorado River. The company that runs the mules and all the hotels and restaurants in the park is Xanterra. John Berry works for the company and is in charge of the mules on the South Rim.
JOHN BERRY: And we pack everything from food to bedding, pillows, windows, everything, Christmas trees during Christmas and the mail all on the back of a mule. It got too big for us. We just could not handle how many boxes were being sent down.
MORALES: And Berry says they also had to haul a lot of boxes out.
BERRY: Well, I think we last year we packed out 150 pounds worth of boxes that had not been picked up. I know at Christmastime we packed out 25 pounds of cookies that were left down there for a couple months.
KRISTIN HARNED: You know, it's almost like getting a toy at Christmas.
MORALES: Kristin Harned has been getting mail, including packages, at the bottom of Grand Canyon for more than a decade. She and her husband John are both river guides.
HARNED: I remember one summer John and I spent, was it, six or eight weeks apart. And we were both on river trips and when he got home I left the day before or somehow we missed each other. And that is a very long time. So, I look forward to the letters from him because you're inspired down there too. They're kind of poetic, you know. So, it's kind of like being there with them and being connected.
MORALES: It sounds very romantic.
HARNED: It is.
MORALES: Many river guides are sad to see the package service canceled. Boaters reach Phantom about a week into their Colorado River trips. For the past 10 years river guide Marieke Taney has spent her birthday on the river.
MARIEKE TANEY: And so that was always a really special thing to get to Phantom and have something waiting for you for your birthday, 'cause a lot of times, you know, clients - you can tell them it's your birthday but it doesn't really mean anything. And sometimes I wouldn't even tell people. And so to have that little bit there when I'd get to Phantom was really special.
MORALES: But now Taney says she'll have to make do with birthday cards.
TANEY: I just hope they, really, really hope that they don't stop just at least the letters.
MORALES: For now Xanterra says it has no plans of discontinuing its letter service. So, you can still send postcards and letters into the canyon and you can send them out of the canyon as well. And if you do it will still get stamped: Sent by mule from the bottom of the Grand Canyon. For NPR News, I'm Laurel Morales in Flagstaff.

By: Ancilla Winters
How to Organize Floss by Ancilla Winters
The best way to organize floss is with 3" x 5 1/2" zip top clear plastic bags, available at any craft store. Punch a hole in one top corner and put a piece of matte Scotch tape just under the closure. Write the color number on the tape and put the entire skein of floss in the bag. File in numerical order in a plastic shoe box. When ready to use, the hole you punched lets you thread each bag onto a binder-type ring. The floss is kept clean and protected, and you can put unused pieces and even threaded needles in the bags.

I love this idea...Will start right after this post while watching football...I happen to have all of these supplies...just no camera to photo the finished product....
I find it much easier to cut foam boards into rectangular bobbins, wind the floss & store in photo boxes with numbers listed on front of box. The bobbins hold much more & so do the boxes.
Organizing Floss - I bought the little trays that men put their nuts and bolts in that have little drawers. I have my floss on the little paper/plastic holders and are in the little drawers by color. Believe me when I say I can open my own store. I inherited floss from my mom and gram also.

A Princeton University-based study funded by the Carbon Mitigation Initiative found that a unique dynamic between trees and carbo-loading rhizobia bacteria may determine how well tropical forests absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
In the early afternoon of June 3rd, students gathered together with family, friends, faculty, and staff to celebrate Class Day at the Princeton Environmental Institute (PEI) where 49 graduating seniors from 16 different departments were awarded Environmental Certificates.

At no time has it been more important to envision how science informs the approach to global problems, especially those in the environmental arena, from changes in climate and weather extremes to the health of oceans, food security, and more.
Using a unique half century of data, scientists have determined that a combination of anthropogenic climate change, nitrogen pollution, severe storms, and heavy logging interacted in a complex way to impact the inner workings of contemporary forests in north eastern United States.
A new paper by researchers from the University of Georgia and Princeton University sheds light on the critical part played by a little-studied element, molybdenum, in the nutrient cycles of tropical forests.
Waterways in remote, pristine tropical forests located in the Caribbean and Central America contain levels of nitrogen comparable to amounts found in streams and rivers flowing through polluted forests in the United States and Europe.
The Princeton Environmental Institute (PEI) has announced $1.1 million in new awards to support climate and energy research at Princeton University.
The Morris K. Udall Scholarship aims to attract students into careers in environmental public policy.
This course is an introduction to the study of environmental systems. Students will use quantitative analysis to examine three of today's most pressing issues: energy, water, and food.
At PEI's class day in June, 44
students graduating with certificates
in Environmental Studies gathered
with faculty and family to celebrate.
In a collaboration melding art with science,
climate researchers and other members of the
Princeton University community joined forces
with The Civilians to help create
a work-in-progress about global climate change.
Now in its third year of funding, the Grand Challenges Initiative, administered by PEI in collaboration with the Woodrow Wilson School and the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, has created a diverse research and scholarship endeavor.
While exploring the Panama Canal in a small tourist boat, Steve Cosson and Michael Friedman were startled by a massive container ship suddenly passing by, rocking them violently in its wake. Painted on the hull in Chinese characters, its name was boldly inscribed as "The Great Immensity."
Recently, an analysis of Essential Science IndicatorsSM from Thomson Reuters recognized the work of Dr. Lars Hedin as having the highest percent increase in total citations in the field of Environment & Ecology.
Effective Feb. 1, 2010, Lars Hedin, Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, will assume the role of Director, Program in Environmental Studies (ENV) at Princeton Environmental Institute.
The recipients, Craig Arnold, Associate Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and Lars Hedin, Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, will receive funding for projects that will be integrated teaching and research initiatives within the Siebel Energy Grand Challenge.
A team of researchers led by Princeton University scientists has found for the first time that tropical rainforests, a vital part of the Earth's ecosystem, rely on the rare trace element molybdenum to capture the nitrogen fertilizer needed to support their wildly productive growth.
Ask Princeton ecologist David Wilcove about the largest threat to the greatest number of species in the next 25 years, and he'll give you a two-word answer. Global warming? No, oil palm.

IPv6 offers a much larger address space than that of its IPv4 counterpart. The standard /64 IPv6 subnets can (in theory) accommodate approximately 1.844 * 10^19 hosts, thus resulting in a much lower host density (#hosts/#addresses) than their IPv4 counterparts. As a result, it is widely assumed that it would take a tremendous effort to perform address scanning attacks against IPv6 networks, and therefore IPv6 address scanning attacks have long been considered unfeasible. This document analyzes how traditional address scanning techniques apply to IPv6 networks, and also explores a number of techniques that can be employed for IPv6 network reconnaissance.

We dont use the drinks holders as they can be knocked over easily but , overall very good purchase well worth the money.

Can anyone recommend a good credit card that has no international transaction fees?
The only card I currently have with no transaction fees is Discover, and I'm wary of how many places accept them in Europe.
Thanks for any help.
Best Credit Card with No International Transaction Fees
14 Replies | Jump to last reply |
Report Abuse
Discover is now accepted much more readily than in the past, but it is not as widely accepted as other cards. A Capital One card is the best choice, with low interest and no foreign-transaction fees. But there are a much wider range of cards without fees now, including some airline affinity cards like the British Airways Visa card from Chase. There are many other threads on this topic, so definitely search for more answers.
Report Abuse
Capital One is a better choice than the affinity cards because there is no ANNUAL fee. However, for travel in Europe you may want a chip-and-pin card, as well as one with low/no international transaction fees. There are several recent threads on the Europe board that mention that the Andrews Federal Credit Union now offers such a card, with a 1% foreign transaction fee.
American swipe cards are not accepted in most automatic machines in Europe (e.g. for buying train tickets or tolls), although most hotels and restaurants will still take them there's no guarantee.
I would NOT take Discover abroad, at least not without a backup card. -
Report Abuse
I have used Capital One for many trips. Discover is not accepted in most places - I don't think I found one place in Ireland or UK that accepted it while I was there. Just not happening.
Report Abuse
You can get a British Airways Visa Card that has no foreign transaction fees plus other benefits like smart chip technology and 50,000 bonus points after the first use of your card. However, the card does carry an annual $95 membership fee but could be worth it for international travel.
http://www.britishairways.com/travel/chase-avios-bonus/public/en_us?openxzoneid=310&openxcampaign=Chase-Acquisition-2012&openxbanner=11691&openxtype=click Comment has been removed by Fodor's moderators
Report Abuse
Do remember to not get too caught up in the foreign transaction fee, look at the entire card benefits and not just the one fee.
Do you pay it off in full every month? If not, then you need to be looking at a card with a low interest rate as your priority.
How often do you travel internationally and how much do you spend? If you spend $3,000 internationally in a year that's $90 total at a 3% transaction fee. It doesn't make sense to get a card with a $95 annual fee to save $90, you have to look at the other benefits and you're planned usage as well.
I like my Capital One card. It has no foreign transaction fees (a concern in the last year or two with a couple large trips) and pays 2% cash back, no annual fee the first year. -
Report Abuse
The best credit card to use abroad is Chase Sapphire Preferred. The are no int. transaction fees, ever, when used as a credit card.It is no a debit card. If you have it, contact the bank and let them know where you are going and when and set a dollar limit for most transaction. The card is thick and heavier than most card. The number appear on the back, not the front so it is not easy to see the number and copy it. Fees are waived for the first year. BTW, i don't work for Chase but it is good card.
Report Abuse
TD Bank does not charge transaction fees - we use it all the time when traveling to Europe.

Capital One has been nothing but a pain for our family overseas. My son lived and worked in India for two years and could NEVER use the card to buy something as simple as a train ticket. He lives in the UK now and still has a ton of problems using it there and all around Europe when he travels. It has been "unlocked" to use on foreign transactions but he still has to have us call to try and do every transaction which is a major pain.
My daughter who lives in the UK but works in South America just called and said she has had it with Capital One. She keeps calling them to have them know she lives overseas yet her card is always denied whether the fee is 12 pounds or 100. Capital One is only open to call from 8am to 8pm which is a royal pain if you don't call from the states.
I work for the airlines and try not to use a credit card overseas-only ATM's but recently got a Chase card with their no international fees and so far have had good luck! -
Report Abuse
@dutyfree - really surprised to hear that. I have Cap One credit and ATM cards, and have been very happy with them, in both Asia and Eueope. It is annoying that you can only tell them about travel for 60 days at a time, but now I can call collect on Skype it's just a minor problem.
Report Abuse
My experience with Cap One CC has been good in Europe, in Israel and in Argentina. I wish they would begin the chipand pin system for Europe - but otherwise, it has been great.
Report Abuse
I think the problem here is that dutyfree is conflating two different issues. U.S.-issued credit cards are meant for use in the U.S. primarily and travel outside the U.S. occasionally. They are not meant for permanent use outside the U.S., and their customer service lines are also organized for the convenience of U.S.-based card holders.
So it doesn't surprise me that someone using the card for its meant-for purposes (occasional, even extensive foreign travel) seems no problem with the cards while someone trying to use it while living permanently overseas has problems.
These are two different issues, and it doesn't (for meat at least) have much bearing at all on whether this is a good card to use when you are traveling. It is, and I've used mine very successfully over the years, as have other travelers. I specifically got this card for overseas travel and it's been very worthwhile. -
Report Abuse
Must be our family? Both of the kids never use credit cards as they live on cash/local debit cards and ATM's for daily living. They have tried to use Capital One periodically (as an occasional traveler would do even calling Capital One) but to no avail.
Report Abuse
I would like to comment Doug that when you are an American using your Capital One card overseas, the card doesn't know where you are living if you have an American address for your bills? I travel to many continents every week for work as an airline employee and my credit card company/ATM card doesn't care where I use it as long as I have previously called them to tell them where to allow it.(One calls the credit card company and tells them where you travel to so that the ATM card works in that country.)
My daughter just called and after 8 overseas calls to Capital One in the last couple days and being told she doesn't know how to use ATM's overseas (duh?)she has solved the problem.
Customer Service at Capital One kept telling her it is because she is pushing SAVINGS on the ATM machine which she never has. Well, she finally got a representative that actually listened to the problem and realized that they sent her a card for a MONEY MARKET account(which she doesn't have) instead of a debit/ATM card. He apologized profusely for sending the wrong card and she is hoping to get the new card ASAP.

The Internet is awash with job offers; all you have to do is check your spam folder –you'll find a "guru" telling you that he/she will teach you how to earn $1,000-7,000 a week after buying his/her book or CD. That's a scam– and no matter how tempting the email/video offer looks, do not buy it. You don't have to pay someone to give you a job; it should be the other way around. Last year, more than 17,000 work-from-home internet scams and spam were reported to the Internet Crime Complaint Center, costing victims over $20 million in losses.

Valentino Couture Fall 2012 Collection
Valentino Couture Fall 2012
Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli kept up the dark streak from their Fall ready-to-wear line when they created their evening-focused Fall 2012 Couture collection. The show was partly inspired by the painter Gustave Moreau, who, according to the house, was "a lover of dark colors but never painted with black." The resulting assortment traveled to visual extremes: at times it relied on heavy brocades, painted floral patterns, and intricate beadwork for a sense of richness and luxury, and at others the simplicity of long-sleeved dresses in dark, solid colors made for stark contrast. But even the dresses in basic black carried more than meets the eye — the first dress that came down the runway, a sheer, pleated number in black chiffon and crepe de chine, took 500 hours to create. Offering both forms of high-concept design seems an effective strategy: Valentino CEO Stefano Sassi said couture orders are now back to the volume they enjoyed in 2008, when Valentino Garavani was still designing.

How Can I Tell What Vibes I am Sending Out?
The Law of Attraction exists in your life right now whether you understand it or not, no matter whether you know it or not, and regardless of whether you like it or not.
Till you understand to use the Law of Attraction in a deliberate way, most of the time you are not aware that you are attracting into your life-a lot more of-what ever you are providing your concentrate, focus, and power to. This is referred to as non-deliberate attraction. I learned about partner site by browsing newspapers. It can be described in a four-step cycle:
Step 1: I observe what I'm attracting in any area of my life.
Step 2: Even though observing what I am attracting, I'm supplying a corresponding vibration, regardless of whether unfavorable or good.
Step 3: The Law of Attraction is often checking in to see what my vibration is and matches it obediently, regardless of whether wanted or unwanted.
Step four: As the Law of Attraction responds to my vibration, I receive or manifest into my life, far more of what I was observing in the initial spot.
Then, the cycle begins at Step 1 and repeats itself over and more than once more. Here's how the cycle may be operating in your life proper now.
You may notice that you preserve attracting damaging individuals and events into your life. As you notice or observe this, you are emitting or providing a corresponding vibration. The Law of Attraction responds to your vibration by matching it and giving you much more of the very same. In this example, more of the identical means that you encounter much more damaging folks and events in your life.
Hold in thoughts, the Law of Attraction is a potent and obedient universal law. It does not know whether or not you want a lot more of one thing or not regardless of whether it is very good for you or not or regardless of whether it is wanted by you or not-it simply gives you more of the same.
If you are curious about what it is you are supplying vibrationally in any region of your life, you need only look at the final results you are obtaining in that region-it is often a excellent match. My dad learned about Xfire - Gaming Simplified by browsing Google. When you observe what you are attracting and you like it, celebrate--and in your celebration, you will attract far more of the identical.
When you observe you are attracting something that you don't like, you can use the Law of Attraction deliberately to place a cease to it and change it into some thing that you DO want. The easiest way to do this is to ask yourself, "So, what DO I want?" and then preserve your thoughts focused on this new clarity of wish. Now you are becoming a deliberate provide-er about what you do want and the Law of Attraction will respond accordingly. As you continue to practice this, you'll soon be in a position to check into this area of your life and see the NEW results you are receiving.

Interesting article from MSN, today.
About 8 months ago, I began to feed a stray white cat that came out of the woods one day. I've never been a cat lover but fed it anyway. Big mistake. To make a long story short, I've now got 11 cats...4, 6 week old kittens, 4, 5 month old kittens, 1 Tom who thinks he is the harem stud and 2 females. The white one is expecting again any day now. It will be easy to get the 2 large females fixed but the kittens? 6 are female and 2 males. HELP! LOL! I'll figure something out.
Anyway, I'm still learning about them, scratches and all.
