Glad to find a robe that comes in sizes. A small is large enough to fully cover me, but not drown me in material (5'7", 118 lbs.) Washes nicely, did not shrink much in the dryer. Very happy.

It's exactly what I was looking for. I love the robes at a resort we vaction at and wanted one for home but they're just to expensive to buy from the resort. I've had a hard time finding one that was the same quality as the resorts but the product description on Overstock was very helpful and informative.

Here is a rare thing – an operatic recital so specialized and so specifically suited to the artist that it earns my recommendation for that alone. But when the artist is Bryan Hymel, with his unmistakable timbre and ability to pluck notes at will from the air, and then use them with almost peerless musicality, the recommendation more than doubles. This is Hymel's debut recital disc and it delivers on all fronts. Staying within the repertory that has catapulted him to operatic fame, this is an all-French recital, and, to his eternal credit, is left of centre in terms of offering a range of arias seldom encountered (two were completely new to me). Spanning close to a century of music, Hymel is thrilling throughout, whether as Rossini's Guillaume Tell or Meyerbeer's Vasco da Gama. There are some Verdi (from Les Vêpres siciliennes and Jérusalem) extracts here too, notably in their French versions. Voices like this come along seldom – as does this degree of artistry – making this disc nothing less than essential.

Piotr Beczała is at home in a wide repertory, but he has a special affinity for French opera. His new album covers many of the arias commonly found in French recitals (Carmen, Faust et al), but is no less welcome as his style and tonal beauty carry each selection, and he is never less than dramatically apt and communicative. Beczała studied extensively with the great Nicolai Gedda – the master of this repertory a generation back – and it shows, through perfectly placed line and weighting of the sung text. There is much to enjoy here, and – like Hymel – he adds some French versions of Italian arias for variety (Verdi's Don Carlos, notably). The recital ends with the St Sulpice scene from Massenet's Manon with guest artist Diana Damrau – worth the price of the disc alone.
Buy The French Collection from the ROH Shop
French-Canadian contralto Marie-Nicole Lemieux recently made her debut in an all-French recital at Wigmore Hall, paired, as here, with the great pianist Roger Vignoles. Some of that song repertory finds its way onto this very lovely disc, but the experience is widened with the addition of pieces by Rachmaninoff and Wolf. Lemieux has a substantial voice, which allows for great expressive breadth, but she is too experienced a performer (and recording artist) to allow any imbalance; this is as intimately a performed recital as any – she has the ability to sing for you and you alone, in perfectly judged cameos. It's difficult to choose a favourite track – perhaps Fauré's Cinq mélodies 'de Venise' is mine, but you are sure to find your own. A first-class recital from an important artist, and one you will keep going back to.

Anna Netrebko, hot on the heels of her recording of Strauss's Four Last Songs, heads the cast of Deutsche Grammophon's new Iolanta. Tchaikovsky's seldom performed opera, which had its premiere on the same night as The Nutcracker, is relatively neglected. However, this recording, and Netrebko's championing of the work on stages around the world, will change perceptions. Conductor Emmanuel Villaume finds the tender wonderment at the heart of this beautiful work, and the cast is strong from top to bottom. As Iolanta, the blind Princess of the title, Netrebko dominates the opera, singing with unfailing beauty of tone and dramatic intent. She herself has said that the music of Iolanta is a source of joy – and on this hearing recording, it surely is.

As I write this, the sounds of the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House can be heard in the Covent Garden orchestra pit, rehearsing for Wagner's Der fliegende Holländer, under the baton of Latvian conductor Andris Nelsons. His new recording of this opera, with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and NDR Choir, must rank as the finest modern recording. The orchestra hurtles into the overture and Nelsons never lets the pace flag; there is tension even in the reflective moments, and when he gives the orchestra its head, it is genuinely thrilling. Terje Stensvold is vocally lighter as the Dutchman than we would expect, but he knows his way around the role, and there is a welcome balance between his Dutchman and Kwangchul Youn's Daland. Anja Kampe is magnificent in one of Wagner's most difficult soprano roles, and with artists of the calibre of Christopher Ventris (Erik), Jane Henschel (Mary) and Russell Thomas (Steersman), this recording has everything going for it.

Diana Damrau is singing Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor to acclaim across the world at the moment. In this recording, a live performance, she takes ownership of the role. Completely in control of Lucia's vocal pyrotechnics, without ever using them to show off, she understands the role perfectly, and uses the decoration to express emotion and growing insanity to chilling effect. She is surrounded by a stellar cast including Joseph Calleja, who sings with grace and unfailing style. The final scene, which includes the oft-cut Wolf's Crag scene, gives Calleja's Edgardo some additional dimension, and allows him a moment opposite Ludovic Tezier's Enrico (smoothly sung and thoughtfully characterized). Jesús López Cobos conducts his second recorded Lucia, leading a detailed and melancholy account without any loss of brilliance where it is needed.

Maria Callas - Pure (Warner Classics)
Callas recorded for EMI (now part of the Warner stable) for the best part of her professional life. It remains perhaps the most remarkable discography left by a singer, and huge thanks are due to Warner for returning to the original recording tapes in a gigantic undertaking that has resulted in Callas' entire catalogue being reissued and remastered with sound quality unlike we have heard before. Cleaned up but with their essence not tampered with, her recordings are now more immediate and fresh, instantly arresting and it has become easier to comprehend the genius that Callas unquestionably was. You can invest in the complete works with an awesome box set, or buy recitals and operas individually. But if you want to have a listen to how great the changes are, you could start with Pure, a single-CD release featuring tracks from throughout her career. Many of them were recorded in her prime, with some from the latter years when vocal troubles beset the voice – but not the art. As a CD of favourite soprano arias, it works perfectly. As a sampler of the Callas catalogue, it merely hints at the treasures within.

Antonio Pappano – Rossini Overtures (Warner Classics)
We need hardly pretend we didn't know Antonio Pappano was a great Rossinian, so the spark evident in this disc won't surprise anybody. Pappano 'gets' Rossini – the subtle gradations of colour and tempi that make this music unique - and here he catches the tinta of each overture. It's a great mix of the familiar and the less so – overtures from La Cenerentola and Il barbiere di Siviglia we can all hum along to, alongside lesser-known extracts from Semiramide and Le siege de Corinthe, the latter almost Mozartian in its formal detail. The penultimate track is the opening of Guillaume Tell, which Pappano will conduct later this Season - one of six operas at Covent Garden he's unleashing his baton on in 2014/15. Finally, the disc is rounded off on an unexpected note with a wind quartet, 'Andante e tema con variazione' – a work totally unfamiliar to me but well worth hearing.

Cecilia Bartoli – St Petersburg (Decca)
It seems that there's no stopping Cecilia Bartoli in her quest for the rare and the valuable. Her latest musical excavation takes her to the Imperial court of St Petersburg, where Italian opera was all the rage with the Tsars. Much of the music though has fallen into obscurity, but on this CD you can enjoy an astoundingly good selection of arias never before recorded - and in many cases - not heard in centuries. The range is astonishing and each work plays to Bartoli's strengths: if the voice is no longer as full as it was, it is still remarkable in its flexibility and range and fully equal to the technical demands of the style. Bartoli has never gives less than her all, and as ever her energy and commitment bursts from the speakers. If Cimarosa is the only familiar composer on the disc, the real discovery for me is Raupach, writing in Russian: full marks to Bartoli for delivering some fiercely challenging music in a language she has not sung previously. This is the best of her recent discs, I think, and a must-have.

Grigolo made his Royal Opera debut in 2010 as Des Grieux in Manon, and has since returned to sing the title role in Faust, Alfredo Germont in La traviata, the Duke of Mantua in Rigoletto and Rodolfo in La bohème for The Royal Opera.
Vittorio Grigolo will sing the role of Nemorino in L'elisir d'amore 18 November–13 December 2014. Tickets are still available.
The production will also be screened live in cinemas across the world on 26 November as part of the Royal Opera House's Live Cinema Season.

After the usual slow summer, the recording companies have gone into overdrive and this month's recommendations are chosen from a wide field, not least the re-issue on Warner Classics of the entire studio recordings of Maria Callas, re-mastered from the original tapes and an astonishing aural experience. Topping the charts now though is Joyce DiDonato's new album, Stella di Napoli.
DiDonato requires no introduction, and in this recording the mezzo explores some little-known reaches of the bel canto repertoire. Few singers today understand how to build the aural architecture that allows bel canto its natural expression, let alone the technique to deliver it, but DiDonato excels throughout. Each aria is delivered as an individual act of expression, alive to the text and music and this creates a fascinatingly varied recital – no mean achievement in music that in lesser hands can sound too similar. There are rich pickings and many surprises, not least alternative takes on Lammermoor (Carafa's Le nozze di Lammermoor in place of Bellini's better-known Lucia di Lammermoor) and Sonnambula (Valentini's Il sonnambulo instead of Bellini's La sonnambula), and the final prayer from Maria Stuarda in Donizetti's own reworking. A captivating and must-have disc.

Argentine countertenor Franco Fagioli recently had the Wigmore Hall on its feet as he earned one of the few standing ovations that the Hall has witnessed of late. The countertenor soon debuts at the Royal Opera House in Idomeneo so this new release from him of arias by baroque composer Nicola Porpora is very timely. Accompanied by the excellent Academia Montis Regalis, you can be guaranteed an hour of absolutely sensational singing. Fagioli is a true virtuoso and it seems none of these arias holds any fear for him: the voice is distinctive and dramatic, and his technique allows him to sing astonishingly complex vocal lines with ease and abandon.

Jonas Kaufmann is seemingly never far from the recording studio and has just released his latest album, You Mean the World to Me. A tribute to the great Richard Tauber and his Berlin contemporaries, Kaufmann offers a generous selection of song and operetta by Lehár, Stolz, Kálman and their like, and even includes a tantalizing glimpse of Korngold's Die Tote Stadt - based on this performance, what a Paul he would be! With Julia Kleiter offering stylish soprano support and the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin under the lively baton of Jochen Rieder, it's clear Kaufmann loves this repertory and he sings it with real affection and style. It's a charmer of a disc and one you'll return to often.

Christian Thielemann and the Staatskapelle Dresden - Elektra (Deutsche Grammophon)
Elektra has been lucky in the studio, so much so that a new contender for the throne has to have some special attributes. Does Christian Thielemann have what it takes? Yes, in short. The Dresden Staatskapelle plays for Thielemann with a savage grace. Tempi are not rushed but tension ebbs and flows at key moments, details are exemplary and illuminating, and where horror is needed it lurks just below the surface: the stomach-churning procession that heralds Klytämnestra's entry for example, or the cumulative explosion of Elektra's final dance. Orchestrally this recording is up there with the best. In the casting department, we are spoiled by René Pape's rock-solid, implacable Orest, Anne Schwanewilms's magnificently neurotic Chrysothemis, and Waltraud Meier's compellingly sung - and acted - Klytämnestra. Evelyn Herlitzius is Europe's go-to Elektra and in this live performance her commitment is total, her attack fearless and the occasional misfires doesn't derail her success. With the maids and other small roles well sung, there's no weak link and the eruption of applause at the conclusion tells of an astonishingly intense night. I was unable to break off listening, and I can't really pay this recording a greater compliment.
René Jacobs and the B'Rock Orchestra - Orlando (Archiv Opera)
If you need a palate cleanser after the horrors of Elektra, look no further than René Jacobs' new recording of Handel's Orlando. A counter tenor turned conductor, Jacobs has made recordings of a huge range of baroque music. In opera he is the perfect singer's conductor and, in the studio, he retains an exhilarating sense of theatre throughout. Birds sing, winds howl, but never at the expense of the musical experience, which is perfectly judged. The star name on the cast list is Bejun Mehta, who takes the title role. Mehta's Orlando won plaudits at the Royal Opera House in 2007 when he led the revival of this production (in 2003 he had sung Medoro to Alice Coote's Orlando). Technically assured and dramatically involved from the get-go, it is a very welcome document to have his performance capture on disc. Beyond Mehta the cast is superb, with Jacobs regular Sunhae Im as Dorinda and the excellent Sophie Karthäuser as Angelica. The oddly named B'Rock Orchestra prove themselves an exemplary period band. This brings the number of commercially recorded Orlandos in the catalogue to three, and I would happily place this new recording in pole position.
Anna Bonitatibus - Semiramide (Sony Music)
When Mehta sang Orlando with The Royal Opera, his Medoro was Anna Bonitatibus. A regular and acclaimed Cherubino in David McVicar's Le nozze di Figaro, the mezzo is blessed with a richly expressive voice enlivened with a quick and attractive vibrato. Sony Music has lavishly packed a two-CD set of Ms Bonitatibus in a range of arias all taken from operas inspired by Semiramis, the legendary Assyrian queen. Many of us know Rossini's take on this (and Bonitatibus gives a brilliantly sung 'Bel raggio lusinghier') but much of this repertory is unknown and several of the tracks amount to world premiere recordings. Covering well over a century of music, this is an extraordinary document exceptionally performed by both the mezzo and the excellent Accademia degli Astrusi and La Stagione Armonica under Federico Ferri. A serious achievement, both musically and academically.

Max Emanuel Cencic - Rokoko (Decca)
The spectacular rise of the countertenor over the last decade has seen several float to the top of the superstar recording stakes. Pre-eminent among them is ex-Vienna Boys Choir member Max Emanuel Cencic who, after a slew of releases on various labels, has now signed exclusively to Decca. His first release for them is Rokoko, an album of dramatic arias by the often overlooked composer Adolf Hasse. Cencic is a bold singer who takes risks but has the technique to pull them off. Hasse's arias span the full dramatic range, from plaintive lament to heroic coloratura, and Cencic is in spectacular voice and command throughout. It's muscular, virile singing, and the disc is hugely recommendable.
Iestyn Davies - Your Tuneful Voice: Handel Oratorio Arias (Vivat)
British countertenor Iestyn Davies also enjoys an extensive and acclaimed recording history. His latest release, Your Tuneful Voice, has him take on a range of arias from oratorios by Handel. Exquisitely accompanied by The King's Consort and with contributions from soprano Carolyn Sampson, this finds Davies at his most congenial. Far less the obvious showman than Cencic, Davies sings with a quiet and direct sincerity that communicates superbly both text and music. Virtuosity is there when required, always at the service of the musical line and weighted with dramatic intention. A very beautiful recital, well worth adding to your collection.
Krassimira Stoyanova - Verdi (Orfeo)
Soprano Krassimira Stoyanova has come late to the Verdi celebrations. Better late than never in this instance as I'd rate this as the best soprano Verdi recital to appear for some time. The repertory choices may seem a little safe, but they represent where Stoyanova's voice and temperament are most suited. She offers surprising bite in Aida's daunting 'Ritorna Vincitor' (she takes the role on for the first time in Munich next season), but is able to use her luminous voice to magnificent effect in arias from Il Trovatore, Don Carlo and Otello (among others). She has the style, a voice of immense beauty and flexibility, and a peerless technique. Simply titled Verdi, this is a disc of quality and integrity.

As part of our series of recommended recordings from the Royal Opera House Shop, this month we take a look at releases from two great singers and a conductor with strong connections to the Royal Opera House.
Juan Diego Flórez - L'Amour (CD, Decca)
Juan Diego Flórez breaks new ground with L'Amour, his tenor still as centred and thrillingly agile, but now showing a touch of steel that - as recently hinted - will allow him to move into a broader repertoire. L'Amour is the kind of record you thought might never be made again – a recital of French lyric arias, previously so much the territory of Nicolai Gedda and Alfredo Kraus, but here superbly sung by Florez and showing immense promise for some heavier roles: his two excepts from Werther make one really want to hear him restore this role to its rightful voice. This is an hour of unalloyed pleasure.
Parsifal - the Metropolitan Opera (DVD/Blu-Ray, Dir: Francois Girard)
Francois Girard's production of Parsifal at the Met does not stake new dramatic or interpretive milestones, instead he allows the story to unfold organically in vistas of breathtaking beauty that echo the music without dictating its intent.
The cast fielded here could have made Parsifal work on a bare stage, but allied to Girard's hieratic symbols and ever-shifting projections, it grows into something of overwhelming beauty and power: the last moments are, as any great Parsifal should be, transcendently lovely. Kaufmann's Parsifal must now be without competition: singing with immense strength and dramatic intensity, he is exceptional in all his key moments, and never less than immersed in the whole - this is no star turn. René Pape's Gurnemanz is a known entity and again he leads the field today in this marathon role, singing with beauty and detail throughout, Peter Mattei towers as the ideal Amfortas, Evgeny Nikitin excels as Klingsor, and Katarina Dalayman offers a Kundry that is perhaps a little below the achievements of her colleagues but is nonetheless superb. Daniele Gatti conducts, taking the Met Orchestra places it has not been for a while. I would urge you to own this Parsifal: it is a very special experience.
Jonas Kaufmann - Winterreise (CD, Sony)
Jonas Kaufmann's take on Winterreise might split opinion: those who will hear it live at the Royal Opera House in April will doubtless make their own minds up, but as an audio experience, Kaufman seems to me ideal in this rare outing onto the lieder stage. His gritty tenor perfectly mirrors the angst-ridden narration, the voice opens up thrillingly at key moments, and above all the drama is seen as a linear experience: each song is given its own treatment but not at the expense of the bigger work. Is he too theatrical with it? Perhaps, if you prefer your lieder more intimate, but for me Kaufmann catches both the naivety and despair central to the text and to Schubert's agonized settings. Helmut Deutsch is a perfect accompanist, supporting, colouring and adding to the implacable flow of the cycle.

Music is central to the celebration of Christmas, be it cheesy pop standards or favourite carols. Benjamin Britten, whose centenary year we have been celebrating, wrote extensively for this time of year, whether arranging carols or writing new cantatas. As a final hurrah for this great composer's centenary year, my recommended recordings this month feature Britten's Christmas music first and foremost.
The Choir of King's College – Saint Nicolas (King's College)
Britten enjoyed a long and successful collaboration with Cambridge, and in particular with the Choir of King's College. This new recording of his cantata is an ideal alternative to the familiar: the cantata's nine parts trace the life of Saint Nicolas, the saint who became known in the west as Santa Claus, but there the obvious Christmas connection ends. The music, which allows for audience participation in sweeping arrangements of hymns such as 'All people that on earth do dwell', is engaging in its seeming simplicity: scored for tenor (here the superb Andrew Kennedy follows in the footsteps of Peter Pears, who created the part), choir, organ and orchestra. Steven Cleobury leads the Choir of King's College and the Britten Sinfonia in a performance of great variety and a real sense of occasion. It's the perfect antidote to too many mince pies, and will continue to delight you long after the festive season has passed. An extra bonus, the CD also includes the great Hymn to Saint Cecilia and the extraordinary Rejoice in the Lamb.
The Choir of King's College – A Ceremony of Carols (Decca)
Britten's most celebrated Christmas music is surely the Ceremony of Carols, an arrangement of medieval texts that has become a staple of choirs around the world. Britten preferred his original arrangement - for a boys' choir - and it is this version that appears on Decca's annual King's College compilation, again under the direction of Steven Cleobury. It emerges as fresh as ever, but I have to profess a preference for 'A Boy was Born', which includes an exquisite arrangement of Christina Rossetti's poem In the Bleak Midwinter. It's a generous disc and also offers contributions from Britten and Pears themselves, before wrapping up with a perfectly judged 'The Holly and the Ivy'. A perfect disc for Christmas, whether you like the traditional or are looking for something a little different.
Paul McCreesh and the Gabrieli Consort with the trebles of the Copenhagen Royal Chapel Choir – Incarnation (Signum)
Paul McCreesh and the Gabrieli Consort (with the trebles of the Copenhagen Royal Chapel Choir) provide my personal 'best of the season'. Carols old and new, spanning eight centuries from anonymous medieval carols (including the lovely and familiar 'Veni, Veni, Emanuel') to new arrangements by Pott, Dove and Leighton make up the programme. Performed with extreme beauty and remarkable intimacy, this is an inspirational disc that gave me real pleasure on first hearing, that only increases on repeated playing. Dove's The Three Kings is an incandescent piece of music making, and the disc concludes with the complete Britten A Boy was Born, in as atmospheric a performance as you may hope to hear.

Keep the Magic Alive With Date Night
When you've been with the same person for a while, things are taken to a whole other level. Things can go from spicy and exhilarating to comfy and uneventful. Guys are probably fine with no longer having to go out of their way to impress you, but women get sad that things aren't as special anymore.
If you're feeling like things are boring or dull, you've got to try harder to make your relationship exciting again. It's time to introduce "Date Night." Both of you can agree on one night a week where you go out to dinner or order in, rent a movie, go to a show, play a board game, take a bath together, go for a long walk, make love for hours - or whatever you guys want to do.
The only rule is that you both have to commit to devoting this one day to one another, no making excuses. "Date Night" is a great way to guarantee some special time together and it gives you something to look forward to each week!

Video: WI Dem. Rep. Gordon Hintz understands why he is the minority party
Simply priceless to watch: WI Democrat Gordon Hintz: have this meltdown on the Assembly floor.: Take away his: anger and you'd think he was talking about the Obamacare bill that was rammed down our throats this time last year.: But, I guess that was different—government takeover of one-sixth of the US economy, increasing health insurance premiums, and stripping doctors and patients of their rights is good, whereas fixing a $3 billion budget deficit and clipping taxpayer-funded public unions is bad.: And a life-threatening emergency if not passed—remember.:
Hintz touches on so many topics in his 3-minute rant—from transparency, public debate, having to read a piddly 144-page bill, to the 35,000 people outside clammoring to have their voices heard.
Where was he when the more than one million Americans: gathered at the Capitol and were ignored by the: Democrats?: Was Hintz outraged when Republicans said they needed time to read the 2,000+ page Obamacare bill?: Where was his outrage when: Harry Reid slipped in his manager's amendment: replacing the entire Obamacare bill and then voted on it?: Was he outraged when Nancy Pelosi met with Obama and other Democrat leaders behind closed doors locking out Republicans during the so-called 'conference'?: Was he outraged when debate was cut off on Obamacare by the Democrats in Congress?: I could go on and on (and wrote extensively about it) as this type "professionalism" was on display for two years with Pelosi and Reid at the helm.
But, at least Hintz gets why the Democrats are in the minority…and in Wisconsin.
For the record, this video was extremely difficult to find as it has continually been scrubbed by the compliant lefty media.

just my taste in humor.
I love you incorporated all the personality cores, I loved the Adventure Core and Fact core, seeing more of them was great, and so was the interaction.
I've been waiting for someone to use those clips to make a conversation. Very well done there. However, I think if you had a better tablet, or spent more time in photoshop purhaps, the shading and such you did for the orbs would look a lot better. Also, the animations could be more frequent and relative to the orbs' dialogue down to the syllable. Just small fixes that could make this 9 a 10 in my opinion.
This was so funny i loved it! you get a 8!

Do you think fans should stop the "woo" at the end of the Rock Chalk Chant?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on January 6, 2012
"I don't think it matters."
"I'm not a fan of the woo."
"Just leave it be — with the woo. They're just having fun. "
"If anything, it just adds to the hype of the game."

Woo cares?
TopJayhawk 3 years, 2 months ago
Actually it is one of the better questions they have ask.

Well now this changes everything! I refuse to give up my cheerleader outfit . . .
classclown 3 years, 2 months ago
No. If the people that are paying good money to attend the games want to Woo, then let them Woo to their hearts content. It's not hurting anything with the possible exception of a few snob's sensibilities.
Woo on young'uns!
Richard Heckler 3 years, 2 months ago
How long has this wooing be going on?
Why suddenly are some objecting?
Are some trying to take the woo out of going to college?
JackMcKee 3 years, 2 months ago
people have been objecting since the first woo was uttered. I think most people were hoping it would be a passing fad. The woo'ers I've seen all look like people that are there for the socializing and not for the actual game. It's the unfortunate byproduct of being the only successful sports team in the area. I doubt these people can name more than 10 people that have ever worn a Jayhawk jersey.
Richard Heckler 3 years, 2 months ago
What do socializers look like?
How are they different from real Jayhawks?
College has some socializing tendencies attached....
I say Jayhawk Basketball is a mammoth social experience.
Wooing represents change...
JackMcKee 3 years, 2 months ago
a person who is at the game just to be seen at the game who doesn't really know or care to know what's going on in the actual game, traditions or anything but their own selfish desire for attention. The people who are only at the games because it is the trendy thing to do. They are the ones I have observed doing the "woo". They typically have bleach blond hair and many have had cosmetic surgery for enhancement of particular features.

What a huge victory for those of us who like to know what we are eating! It is nothing more than freedom of information and truth in labeling, but you can bet the all-powerful food industry will fight it until it gets overturned. Maybe other states could ride the momentum of this win with their own legislation.

I hate to break the news to some of you folks but ALL your food has been genetically modified. Where do you think Holstein cows come from, or potatoes or corn or beans or lettuce or chickens or.....? Its called plant or animal breeding where genetics are altered and modified. Ignorance prevails in Vermont and other places! It means your food prices will now increase and will not provide you any benefit, period!
