The KSwiss Tennis Tubes 100 hits all the right notes when it comes to composing a tennis shoe. The shoe shines where it should: stability, traction and cushioning. Our testers felt it performed well as an all-around shoe once broken in. Though they offered good support, a couple of our testers felt they were too high in the ankle area, which led to discomfort. Outsole durability was also a concern for a couple of our playtesters. On the plus side, the soft and grippy outsoles of the Tennis Tubes 100 offered outstanding traction. Overall, the solid level of stability, traction and cushioning makes the Tennis Tubes 100 a good addition to the KSwiss line-up.
When you sit down and think about it, we female tennis players demand quite a bit from our tennis shoes. They need to be comfortable, stable, durable and supportive. Being lightweight doesn't hurt either. Oh, and one other thing, we want them to look good, too.
KSwiss' latest attempt to satisfy the female tennis player is the Tennis Tubes 100. The shoes are named for their cushioning system, which features round "tubes" in the midsole and is designed to provide a lightweight, responsive ride. The Tubes are visible in the midsole and run the full length of the shoe.
The Tubes Technology should allow us to check comfort off our checklist, and KSwiss designers added a pop of color over the Tubes to satisfy the looks requirement. For stability, the Tubes Tennis 100 uses the GuideGlide system, while DragGuard on the upper and the Aosta 7 outsole tackle durability.
So how well do all these parts come together? We sent out a team of playtesters to play for a month on hard courts to find out.
Comfort - Score: 3.7
The Tubes Tennis 100 got mixed reviews in this category from our testing squad. Brittany found time to be the key to comfort. She said, "There was definitely a break-in period of about three hours for me with these shoes. I helped speed up the break-in process by walking around in them before playing in them. Once broken-in, I found that they molded to my feet and were very comfortable. I thought the cushioning was perfect."
Also finding a break-in was needed was Carol E., who said, "The tops of the shoes rubbed and pinched me on the inside of my ankles. They rode a little higher than what I am used to, and there was some discomfort with the rubbing. It also took about three days of hitting for me to break them in."
Eileen praised the Tubes cushioning systems, saying, "The cushioning is great in this shoe. I thought the shoe was very comfortable and light. The upper portion of the shoe is really comfortable and super soft, with lots of padding."
"Comfort was good, but not great, for me," said Tiffani. "The cushioning was really nice. The Tubes absorbed impact well, and the uppers were soft and well padded. However, the shoe didn't fit my foot quite right. It was too narrow for me in the forefoot and too wide through the midfoot, so I experienced some bunching. I did, however, appreciate the shallow toe box, even though it ran narrow in width for me."
Chloe, who has wide feet, said, "They were fairly narrow in the toe box, and my foot was being rubbed and pinched by the sides of the shoe. Also, I have a high arch and these shoes did not provide enough support to be comfortable."
Ventilation - Score: 3.3
Though the shoe doesn't feature an abundance of mesh, our testers felt the Tubes Tennis 100 offered average ventilation. Tiffani said, "This was so-so for me. The shoe's uppers have quite a bit of padding, and that makes the shoe run warm. I didn't notice it too much while I was playing, but I couldn't wear this shoe comfortably after tennis."
Agreeing, Brittany offered, "I struggled a bit with ventilation. The shoes didn't heat up too much while I was playing. I did feel some warmth, but nothing too unusual. However/ when I stopped playing my feet became extremely hot and I would take them off immediately."
Chloe noted, "I thought that the ventilation in them was pretty average. My feet didn't get too hot and I thought they breathed fairly well."
Arch Support - Score: 3.8
Opinions on the arch support in the shoe varied by arch type. Our testers with medium height arches were satisfied, Carol E. and Eileen agreed with Brittany, who said, "I had no problem playing in this shoe. It felt comfortable and supportive."
With her high arches, Chloe disagreed. She said, "I didn't like the arch support in this shoe. I have a high arch and these shoes just didn't provide enough support for my arch. They weren't that comfortable for me."
Tiffani has low arches, and said, "I was satisfied with the amount of support I was getting for my low arches. The first time out the support sat a little high for me, but it compressed or molded to my foot during that first time on the court, so I was happy enough."
Foot Support/Stability - Score: 3.7
The Tubes Tennis 100 offered plenty of stability and support, especially in the ankle area, for most of our testers. Chloe reported, "These shoes held my feet in place pretty well. My feet didn't slide around inside the shoes and my ankles felt pretty stable, especially when I was changing direction."
There were positives and negatives for Carol E.. She said, "My toes were moving around quite a bit in the toe box. The shoe did fit snug around the arch, but didn't mold to hold my toes. My ankles felt very protected, though."
Tiffani shared some of the same sentiments, saying, "The stability was great for this shoe. I never felt like the shoe had any problems standing up to the multi-directional nature of tennis. However, the support was not up to par with the stability for me because of an awkward fit. My feet are wide in the forefoot, narrowing through the midfoot and heel. So while the shoe was tight in the forefoot, it was too wide in the midfoot area. This led to some slippage within the shoe and some buckling of material in the midfoot."
Brittany was extremely pleased with the support. She offered, "The support was the highlight of the shoe for me. I felt extremely stable with every type of movement on court. The ankle collar comes up a little higher than what I'm use to, but it helped stabilize the ankle."
Eileen, on the flip side, felt there was too much support. She said, "The shoe came up too high on my ankles. I didn't feel like my ankles would roll over, but I did feel limited in my movements. The ankle support was too high and too stiff."
Overall Sole Durability - Score: 3.4
Our team was again spilt, this time over the durability of the Aosta 7 outsole. Carol E. was pleased. After logging 40 hours on the court in these shoes, she said, "I usually wear out my tennis shoes near the toe, but no wear and tear has happened yet."
Eileen agreed, adding, "The sole was light and comfortable, so I was surprised with how durable the shoe was for me. I didn't notice any wear on the sole."
Chloe found the shoes to offer average durability, saying, "The toe and sides of the shoe were the first parts to wear out for me, but they had better durability than some of the lighter weight shoes I've worn."
Tiffani used other KSwiss models as her durability standard. She said, "I've definitely worn more durable KSwiss shoes. The Stabilor and Defier DS both held up better for me compared to this shoe. The tread started to show wear before the 10-hour mark. The traction was excellent, but I think the outsole compound is too soft to withstand heavy hard court play."
Agreeing, Brittany said, "The sole's poor durability surprised me. I saw quite a bit of wear on the shoe after just a couple hits. More specifically, I saw wear around my big toe that came up the side of the shoe."
Toe Durability - Score: 3.7
The DragGuard overlay worked well for the team. Eileen said, "The shoe shows no sign of wear in the upper or in the front of the sole."
"The sole durability was a little disappointing, but I thought the toe durability was much better," said Brittany. "The DragGuard technology on the toe was thick enough, and went high enough on the shoe, that my dragging did not cause any damage to the shoe."
Tiffani had two opinions. She noted, "This is a tough one for me to judge. The top of the toe, where the DragGuard is placed, is in pristine condition, and I don't think there'll be any problem with durability. However, the outsole material that wraps up is degrading quickly in the toe area, which is where I typically see the most wear on my shoes. The grey outsole section is already beginning to separate from the shoe."
Traction - Score: 4.1
The shoe's grip on the hard courts was excellent for most of our team. Tiffani said, "Traction is the highlight of this shoe. It really sticks to the hard courts well. I could plant and move or stop quickly without any problems."
Brittany, too, found good traction. She offered, "The traction was another positive of the shoe. I could really grip the court with this shoe, sometimes almost too well, as I would stick to the surface. After a couple hits the stickiness wore off and the traction was perfect."
Chloe had similar thoughts. She said, "These shoes had unbelievable traction, almost too much at times. I felt that they gripped the court really well and it was easy to start and stop without sliding. However, at times there was too much traction and they stuck to the ground, making it hard to change directions."
"The shoe was a little bulky for me, but I was able to stop and go on the court," said Carol E.. "Change of direction was fine, too."
Eileen struggled with the fit, saying, "This was a tough section for me to judge. The ankle collar was too high for my foot so all my movement, starting, stopping, changing direction, was hindered. I was not able to move as freely as I'm used to so I didn't feel like I could put the traction to the test."
Weight - Score: 3.7
At 13.4 ounces, the Tubes Tennis 100 falls into the average category for weight. Brittany noted, "The weight was tricky for me. I am a fan of lighter weight shoes, so this was on the heavier side for me. However, this shoe didn't feel bulky or clunky on the court. Overall, I felt my movement was a little bit slower in this shoe."
Pleasantly surprised was Carol E., who said, "Even with the extra cushioning and support, I feel that the shoe was pretty lightweight. I expected it to be much heavier in weight."
"As usual, I wasn't bothered by the weight," said Tiffani. "I am comfortable playing in some of the heaviest models, such as the adidas Barricade adilibria. The Tubes seemed to be a good middle weight option, without feeling too bulky on the feet."
Chloe wished for lighter shoes, saying, "These shoes were on the heavier end, and I'm a fan of the lighter weight shoes."
It was a great mix for Eileen, though. She said, "The weight was perfect, with plenty of cushioning for comfort."
Overall - Score: 3.4
Brittany - "I liked the stability of this shoe, especially for extra ankle support."
Carol E. - "I think the arch support is the best thing this shoe has going for it. I felt that I moved pretty well in the shoe and that the extra support didn't correlate to extra weight. The shoe is definitely a little heavier, but it does not inhibit play."
Chloe - "I liked the traction the shoes provided when I was moving on the court, and how well they held my feet in position, so I wasn't sliding around inside the shoe."
Eileen - "The weight and comfort were the highlights of this shoe for me. I liked the added comfort the Tubes provided."
Tiffani - "Traction was great, and the cushioning was plush."
Brittany - "The weight was on the heavier side, as well as the lack of sole durability."
Carol E. - "I did not like the rubbing and pinching on the inside of my upper ankles. This remained a problem throughout the entire play test. I also did not like the extra wiggle room of my toes. I felt that I lost a little support due to this."
Chloe - "I didn't like the weight, arch support, and overall comfort."
Eileen - "The ankle rise was too high for me. I felt like I couldn't move around the court easily."
Tiffani - "The fit was just off for me, and durability could be improved upon."
Comparing the Tennis Tubes 100 to other shoes they've worn, our testers said:
Brittany - "The fit and cushioning definitely reminded me of another Kswiss shoe, the BigShot. It was very similar in feel and weight to the BigShot. The durability was more along the lines of the New Balance 1187."
Carol E. - "This was not one of my favorite shoes. I think this is a great shoe for women who have weak ankles and like a little more support in the arch. Mobility is still pretty good, along with the change of direction."
Chloe - "The Tubes were a little heavier and were slightly narrower in the toebox compared with the Prince T22. However, I thought the traction was slightly better than the traction of the New Balance 1187."
Eileen - "This shoe is great on cushioning and durability. The fit was not perfect for me because of where the shoe fit around my ankles. This shoe was too high around my ankles, I prefer a lower rise for better movement on the court."
Tiffani - "This does fit into the KSwiss family. I am reminded of the Defier DS because of the good cushioning, padded uppers and general feel of the shoe, but the Tubes feel lower to the ground in the forefoot. The Defier offered better durability, but on the flip side, I got better traction from the Tubes."
Playtester Foot Types:
Brittany - Narrow width / Medium arch
Carol E. - Medium width / Medium arch
Chloe - Wide width / High arch
Eileen - Narrow width / Medium arch
Tiffani - Wide width / Low arch

Seles, I applaude your efforts, I doubt I'll ever do a deep dish but yours look good. Regards, Don
I've never made a "Sicilian" pizza, so with guidance from Matt, I tried making one. The sausage slice is present because I made up a batch of Italian sausage. No idea how authentic this might be, but it was very tasty. I'm sure I do could a lot better.
Brilliant! What formula did you end up settling on. If it tasted as good as it looks I doubt it would be your last. Very nice work. Matt
Seles, I love the look of that crust. Very rustic. I might try something like that.

If you have any deck of custom playing cards at all, then rest assured that there's a little Black Tiger in the card stock. And that was Michael Kelley's plan all along.
Years ago, Kelley was engaged in an interesting e-mail correspondence with a dethroned Nigerian king who needed an American cosigner to receive a wire transfer of US $3.4 million. Thinking it a hoax, Kelley e-mailed back his neighbor's mailing address. Then one day, while Kelley was mowing his lawn, he saw a man wearing a large crown and the hide of an African lion walk up to the neighbor's house.
"You're for real?" Kelley said. "I thought you were a hoax."
"Bet you feel dumb now," the king said. "I'm taking me and my US $3.4 million to TGI Friday's."
He did feel dumb. So dumb he slapped his forehead so hard that he knocked himself out. His vision was messed up while recovering from the head trauma: He saw everything in negative colors, except for the color red. The rest is history.

House to Vote on Stand-Alone Unemployment Insurance Bill Today
June 29, 2010 - by Donny ShawThe House of Representatives this afternoon is scheduled to pass, under the expedited suspension of the rules procedure, a new, stand-alone bill to extend unemployment insurance benefits. The bill is H.R. 5618, the "Restoration of Emergency Unemployment Compensation Act of 2010." It was introduced yesterday by Rep. Jim McDermott [D, WA-7] and has one co-sponsor — the powerful House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Rep. Sander Levin [D, MI-12].
This is expected to pass easily in the House, as indicated by its place on the suspension calendar. It would then be sent immediately to the Senate to give the upper chamber a chance to pass it before the end of the week when they are scheduled to leave for their July 4 recess.
Although the House is generally supportive of a robust benefits extension for the uninsured, Rep. McDermott has purposefully limited the scope of this bill to what he thinks can pass the Senate. The bill would not extend the Federal Additional Compensation program from the stimulus bill that provided an extra $25 per month for benefits recipients, and it only extends UI benefits to November 30, 2010, one month shorter than the Senate's stand-alone bill. It would not create a new fifth tier of benefits. 99 weeks would still be the maximum amount of time unemployed individuals could receive UI payments under this bill.
Both chambers have to pass the exact same version of the bill before it can be snet to President Obama to be signed into law. These changes make it more likely that the Senate can simply agree to the bill, avoiding a situation where the two chambers ping-pong the bill back and forth with their own amendments until they can find an agreement.
It's still unclear, though, if this has the support to pass in the Senate. For one thing, Senate Majority Leader Sen. Harry Reid [D, NV], who ultimately decides what bills get voted on, still wants to do unemployment insurance together with Medicaid funding and other unrelated tax issues. Additionally, only one Republican — Sen. Olympia Snowe [R, ME] — has said publicly so far that she would vote in favor of such bill. That means the Senate Dems may still be two votes short of the 60 they need to break an inevitable Republican filibuster.
UPDATE: Contrary to some reports I'm seeing on Twitter and Facebook, the House has no passed this bill yet. It was brought up and debated, but the vote was postponed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi [D, CA]. Under House rules (Rule XX, CLause 8), it now must be voted on within two days. But it will likely be voted on sooner, probably tonight or early tomorrow.
The fact that Dems are trying to do this under suspension of the rules is giving them a little trouble. Suspension allows bills to pass quickly and without minority obstructionism tactics (no amendments can be offered and debate time is limited to 40 minutes), but they need 2/3rds support for it to pass under the procedure. That means the Dems will need about 35 Republicans to cross the aisle and vote with them on this. The Democratic leadership is surely busy behind the scenes right now working to win over Republicans (and the GOP leadership is undoubtedly working to keep wavering members from defecting).

The entire dam congress conveniently forgets about us Americans who were raped and pillaged by the Banks, Mortgage Companies, Wall Street in general. Why do you forget this? The 99ers need the unemployment and tier 5 ..as much as others not able to find a job. The hell with Wall Street, Main Street is the only one who counts. Overlooking the 99ers could result in a complete downfall of your political careers.
Main Street doesn't supply monies for your coffers, but remember you work for us, so help us now by supporting the 99ers in your stand-alone unemployment bill. Whether you are willing to admit it or not, American is in real financial trouble, and failure to support all unemployed Americans will only lead to Americas downfall, just a Rome did.
As long as you leave out the 99ers and tier 5 , I don't support your bill or you in November.
Remember , more importantly don't forget to add the 99ers,tier 5, this way we all can share alike………We have families too.
It looks hopeless as I read this. Other reports say the bill is dead. I'm old and laid off two years ago—now on my final Extended Benefits. My son and daughter don't have jobs either—both with college degrees. We don't know what to do. We have tried to get jobs at big Macs, Walmart, etc. No replies back. I have tears in my eyes as I write this. If the house goes, where will we live? I served in Viet Nam—even got a bronze star. Worked all my life and never took more than a weeks vacation—ever! I was totally dedicated, loyal beyond belief, but the company I worked for had expensive talent at the top that needed to be kept, so they had to lay off others to make their payroll. Ahh, what's the use. The good days are gone forever. Let's see, Clinton had a surplus, Bush spent trillions on tax cuts to create high six-figure exec jobs, and now it's all Obama's fault—ahh, yeah, right. Will the last person to leave the unemployment office please turn out the lights.
Well maybe the senate can find it in their hearts to pass this bill. They need to put all their agendas aside and do what's right for the American people. The GOP do not wanna increase the defecit but however they do wanna bailout every business too big to fail. Sadly those buisnesses are one of the reasons we are in this situation.
To the 1.2 million jobless americans I thought you would be glad to know that the Republicans let the Democrates get the Small Business Bill through.
How many Small Business loans will be approved to the jobless workers who are looking at the option of doing a business start up? NONE
-Poor credit and/or unemployed need not apply.Everyone knows that banks, retailers, small or big businesses have the legal right to not interview or hire applicants if they have had any negative information on their credit history report. So on top of everything else the unemployed are trying to keep up with they must be sure to keep a high credit score standing while they are unemployed, in order to have at least a chance to get interviewed after completing MOST companies on-line application and required background information checks.
- It's not always about experience, but about the criteria businesses/agencies use to screen applications for employment.
99 weeks would still be the maximum amount of time unemployed individuals could receive UI payments under this bill. Doesn't that mean that the 99ers are SOL?

• It's the Republican party who is busy watching out for Wall Street/Corporations.
Shame on Congress for not coming up with a solution for ALL its' displaced hard working Americans.
• 9.7% unemployed = 1.2 million Americans, and 55% of the workforce have taken reduced work hours, pay-cuts, unpaid leave, forced to switch to part-time. The BP Oil Corporation's irresponsibleness is adding to lost jobs and lost lives.Yesterday, President Obama's discussed what was happening with corporations, the economy, and the need to help the displaced unemployed. Watch his entire interview on CSPAN. He gets it.

The Senate needs to be held accountable for their incompetence and lack of integrity. Shame on them for not coming up with a 100% solution for all Americans who are forced to survive on their UI.
President Obama can't sign a bill, if Congress doesn't get it to him. President Obama's discussed the economy, and the need to help the displaced unemployed with UI Extentions on Monday and Tuesday. CSPAN.ORG
As of today, we have 9.7% unemployed, 55% of the workforce have taken reduced work hours, pay-cuts, unpaid leave, forced to switch to part-time, and BP Oil Corporation's IRRESPONSIBLENESS is adding to LOST JOBS and LOST LIVES.
1.2 million who will lose their Unemployment Insurance if Republicans get their way.The GOP have no vested interest in hearing or helping jobless people. The only communication Republicans hear is $$$$$. That's why they listen to and only support Oil Companies, Insurance Companies, Banks, Big Corporations, and Wall Street
Corporations have increased their cash reserves to $1.84 TRILLION, THE HIGHEST FIGURE IN HISTORY! Big business and the banks, after an unprecedented bailout by the public treasury, are hoarding the funds (Americans pay this back on their IRS tax bill). BIG CORPORATIONS EXECUTIVES ARE MAKING BIG BONUSES AND GETTING SALARY INCREASES FOR SHOWING HUGE PROFITS. The cash reserves of major corporations have jumped 26 percent in one year, the largest percentage increase in nearly 60 years. The cash reserves of working people, and particularly the unemployed, have not been so fortunate.
REPUBLICANS bloc, the SENATE vote and defeat a proposed extension of unemployment benefits for unemployed workers. Many of these same Senators rushed through a $700 BILLION bailout of Wall Street in 2008 in a matter of days, cannot bring itself to support even the most meager subsistence for the unemployed workers who are the victims, not the perpetrators, of the economic crisis.
$700 BILLION bailed out politician's banks/wall street, and billions to cover the Bush/Chaney oil war. Congress concerned now?!
SHAME, SHAME, SHAME to Republicans and those few Democrats who blocked several U.I. Ext. bills from passing they turned their backs on THE PEOPLE again.
Most of these same House Representatives and Senators united to pass bills that gave their Wall Street/Banks SEVERAL billion $$$s in bailouts in 2008, starting with JP MORGAN CHASE, one of the many banks that took advantage of consumers.
Then their oil companies made billions in profit during the summer of 2008, as they strategically increased gas prices by $1-$2 on Americans at the pump. Americans had to pay for gas to get to work. Soon American's household budgets were out of balance, and started foreclosing on home loans.
Your companies stayed fat$$ at the top by cutting jobs, while leaving The People jobless, without Unemployment Insurance, struggling and sadly disillusioned.
Thats fine about the additional $25 as long as they extend the unemployment for people that have been out of work for a while. Pass the bill, the people of the US needs this bill or the economy will go down even further and be in a depression like in the 1930's where they had rations. Peopl need this extension to help them live while they are searching for jobs.
Thanks to all the senators who are still trying to help us stay afloat. Its very hard having to look for work all day only to come home to search for the latest news on unemployment extensions so that I can survive while looking for work. I have been unemployed now for 6 months and don't know how I am going to pay my mortgage if i go another week without benefits. PLEASE ACT COMPASSIONATELY TODAY AND HELP THOSE IN NEED, I PRAY EVERYDAY THAT I WILL FIND A JOB SO I WILL NOT HAVE TO BE AT THE MERCY OF OTHERS. GOD BLESS US ALL.
Does this bill include EUC Benefits for people who are currently in Tier 5?
ALL OF YOU… CALL YOUR UNEMPLOYMENT OFFICES TO GAIN INFO ABOUT THIS… I do not thing this will include the 99'ers… but I could be wrong. And also too, this may not include all 50 states in the country… it really depends what your unemployment rate is. This is why I ask you to call your local unemployment offices to confirm and ask them if the bill is passed, what personally does it mean for all of you… those offices should know if you're within the guidelines to receive further UI in the future should this bill pass.
God Bless All the Senators still standing up for the American people!
I don't see how the Republicans voting NO can sleep at night knowing that they are responsible for children starving!I agree with the comments regarding Dave Camp. I watched the proceedings and was appalled by his reaction to this bill. People of Michigan, he is working against you when you are in dire need of help, along with so many others in this country. I don't know if he is up for re-election in November, but you should not give him another 2 years, even if we do get this bill passed. His arrogance was hard to take.

Croquetas/Croquettes (in patty form)
As I've mentioned before, I wage a continuous battle against food waste. Now more than ever, with my new goal to Simplify, and with it endeavor for more meaning and less cost, this battle becomes even more important. Waste not, want not, as has often been said. And so true that. Less waste means more savings, extra cash to spend on a much loved pleasure, less junk clogging our landfills and waterways…and it can also mean a delicious treat if you know your way around leftovers!
One of my mom's favorite ways to give new life to leftovers was to turn them into croquetas (also known as croquettes). Everything from leftover mince to smoked milkfish (yes, that's tinapang bangus!) would find their way into my mom's croquetas. As children, we loved these little breaded logs of soft potatoes and tasty bits of meat. We couldn't care less if they were leftovers. They were delicious and that's all our young minds needed to know.
Just as you can't predict what and how much leftovers you will find yourself with on any given day, I don't have an exact recipe for these croquetas (just as I don't have one for this cottage pie). Simply put, this is what I do: I take whatever leftovers I have, whether it's fish, mince, pork chops, longanisa (a local sausage) leftover from breakfast, or even vegetables (roasted vegetables would be awesome in this), and I shred/chop it to smallish bits. Then, depending on how much meat/veggies I have I take a couple, or more, potatoes and boil until soft, then mash. For these croquetas pictured I actually used leftover mashed potatoes (extra points for more leftovers used!). I then season the mixture with salt and pepper. You can add any other seasoning you'd like -- have you got some extra herbs lying around that need using? Chop them up and add them in! Add cumin and chili for a Mexican flavor, or soy sauce, sesame oil, and cilantro for something more oriental. Some cheese would also be delicious if this fits the combination of flavors you've got going so far (think chorizo, smoked paprika, and cheese…MMM!). Then add an egg and mix well. I just eyeball the mixture to see whether I add one or two eggs…but mostly one egg is good enough, leftovers usually not being all that much to begin with. I add all the seasoning before the egg so I can taste it before I add the raw egg. Now, shape your croquetas into logs or patties or balls (or anything your heart desires) and coat each in breadcrumbs. I personally prefer patties as I feel they cook better (and quicker) that way. Shallow fry in hot oil until golden on all sides.
You can serve this with a salad and it makes a wonderful meal. It's also great tucked into a bun for a picnic or a packed lunch. You can serve them with a dipping sauce of your choice – some garlic yogurt, sriracha, or even that old staple…ketchup!
Now that I have a child of my own, I often think of what food traditions and values I'd like to pass on to her. Definitely my love for real, home cooked meals. My respect for food and where it comes from and who brings it to us. My wariness of junk food. An appreciation for true quality…which does not necessarily equate to what is more expensive. My love for vegetables. The belief that something lovingly crafted in your own kitchen will always be better than something bought in a store. Dark chocolate over candy bars. Eating with your hands…ok, this she is already loving :)
Part of these things that I'd like to impart on little C is the avoidance of food waste. And that means no fussing about eating leftovers! For my part, I'll promise to make them as tempting as possible :)

I love croquettes! A childhood food that I still enjoy as an adukt. Those look lovely.
Rosa - 1:57 AM
- Christine @ CookTheStory said...
These sound fantastic! I've been working on using leftovers in the style of potato pancakes (shredded raw potato) and they've been turning out o.k. but the leftover mashed potatoes would be much better! Thanks for the idea!
- Junglefrog said...
I love croquettes or kroketten as we call them. Here in the netherlands they are usually meat based type of terrible things filled with ragout but you can make so much more out of them!
- Les rêves d'une boulangère (Brittany) said...
Your mums idea of using up leftovers into these croquettes is such a great idea.
- Mom-Friday said...
Super great! Why didn't i think of this?! Thank you for sharing this croquettes idea...best "food recycle" recipe!
- Tengo un horno y sé cómo usarlo said...
Lovely description of it. I do myself "croquetas" the Spanish way. Instead of potato, we put the leftovers into a thick bechamel sauce, let them cool enough until you have a paste you can use to form balls, cover with flour, then whisked egg, then breadcrumbs and fry in hot olive oil. (the best part is that you can do a lot of them, freeze and just fry for dinner) It is also delicious!.
Hugs from Spain. - 7:19 PM

Hi Rosa! A childhood favorite in my household as well :)
Hi Christine! You're welcome! It's a great way to use leftover :)
Hi Junglefrog! I've have some nice kroketten in the Netherlands though, with some mustard :)
Hi Brittany! It is really such a simple and efficient, not to mention delicious, way of making quite work of those leftovers!
Hi Mom-Friday! Hope this helps you with your own leftovers!
Hello Tengo un Horno! I actually love Spanish croquetas…I'm just too lazy to make a béchamel! ;)
Hi Betty! They are indeed a loveable food ;) - 2:02 PM

They look wonderful! Croquettes are delicious, I usually make the Japanese version :-)
- redmenace said...
I love croquettes, but I never make them. These looks sooo homey and delicious!
- Midge said...
I agree with you that dark chocolate is definitely better than candy bars and croquetas are an amazing comfort food. :)
(And speaking of dark chocolate, I finally did that molten babycakes recipe!) - 7:44 PM
- Skip to Malou said...
what a great way to re-create leftovers... i should remember to make croquettes when faced with left-overs to replace my never-ending drama of omelettes... haha!
thanks for the idea!
Malou - 12:47 PM
- Lee said...
I love croquettes but I have not tried making it yet. I have tried making potato pancakes out of a packet of expired instant mashed potatoes... family loved it and no one got sick.
Excellent photos as usual Joey - 11:00 PM
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Kaye! Glad you like the piece at Table For Three :) Twister fries is my guilty fast food addiction!
Hi Maria! A Japanese version sounds wonderful! What do you put in it?
Hi Redmenace! They are very easy to whip up and really a great way to use leftovers :)
Hi Midge! Molten Babycakes!! Lead the way!
Hi Malou! My never-ending drama for leftovers is fried rice! So I too have to remind myself to make these croquettes now and again :)
Hi Lee! Thank you! Well, as long as no one got sick, and everyone loved it, then I would say it was a success ;) - 2:20 AM
- Trissa said...
Hi Jo! Thanks for the very versatile recipe. Being only two in my house (usually) - I find that we are constantly strugging with too much food. This is a great way to disguise it! My Mom would love you for this!
- Tv Food and Drink said...
TREMENDOUS... and so simple. I often only cook for myself or one other, and find that I have extra potatoes all the time. And leftovers are something I'm racing to devour seven days a week, so this is perfect. Thanks for sharing! - Gary
- Joanie said...
For some reason I miss your mondrian style blog background. But your new one is cute though. I like the croquette style u did. :-)
- Nisrine | Dinners and Dreams said...
Fantastic croquettes! I've always loved these.
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Trissa! Hope this helps revitalize some leftovers on your side of the world :)
Hi Gary! What a little potato can do huh? ;)
Hi Joanie! Thanks :)
Hi Nisrine! Thank you! - 12:15 AM

Each of your bought games is using a licensed product key of that game(that's why it sometimes happens that they run out of keys during a sale and need to get more from the developer / distributor). So I'd bet if Steam ever goes down, you would get the list of all your license keys and could use them during a normal install of said game.
Sorry I read over that before...
Awesome memmory you have there!
But I still have that standpoint.
Steam's DRM is completely different from all other DRM's. The way Steam works by controlling distributing games is not restricting. It is rather enabling. If my disc blows up, cratches or by any other means renders it unreadable then I can still download my game and play it.
I don't need the disc. I don't need the CD key. There are not evil rootkits. It is not restricting me at all.
In fact it is enabling me to download and play my games everywhere. I can download it so much (if I wanted to) that Valve's bandwith costs make them lose their profit from me buying once and play everywhere.; It can even make them lose money (and they probably already did, lol ).
They have, and tested it, an exit trategy. Valve's DRM doesn't make me play the game less, or not at all. It lets me play games more. Even when they are bankrupt!
Now onto the Digital Restriction Management that is everywhere else: I am highly against that! And so unless Primal Carnage goes Steam and doesn't implement its own copy protection whatsoever I will not buy it. I will not even think about buying it for a second!
It's either no copy protection at all and laying the protection in Valve's hand or a massive no go!
And that is why we are all against DRM in the first place, because it restricts. Steam's DRM enables by decrypting games that do not have any copy protection themselves. The only reason these games are not playable on their own is because they are encrypted. They do not require Steam at all. And FWIW; you can download them all decrypted and you do not need a crack for them.
I bought all my Valve games for a reason and only downloaded Half-Life 2 because I didn't know about the backup features and the official unlock forevah patch that Valve tested inhouse.
The DRM and the other backup and re-download features are entirely separate of the DRM. You do not need a DRM system to allow these things.
But overall, I agree. I myself have the Orange Box (Half-Life 2 series, Portal, TF2) and Steam isn't too obtrusive. Although it still isn't completely ideal in me always needing to use Steam to be able to play a game. I also doubt I'll truly buy another game from there (I bought Orange Box and the like before I had properly educated myself on the dangers and pitfalls of DRM).
You have not read everything I said in this thread, have you?
Steam allows you to play games offline if you set it to remember you account.
Also: Steam is just a distribution system that downloads, lists and updates your game. It just also has a function to decrypt files. Source games are just partialy encrypted by Valve.
Backing up the games just does Ctrl-c + Ctrl+v your game folder to another place. You don't need Steam itself to play decrypted Source games. Illegal downloads have proven this... The 'crack' you then need is just a decrypted exe file, nothing more...
PS: Steam can also launch any exe file for any game you have...
You still need that initial "phone home" connection though. Being able to back up your games in physical form is a good thing though.
I didn't buy their DRM-sh*t for Windows and wont buy it on Linux!
(Yes, I would immediately buy DRM-free HL2 or L4D2)
Out of all the DRM for games out there Valves is one of the least intrusive and works really well.
I really hope they do come to linux. I would rebuy all my source games if they did

Bottega Veneta
Bottega Veneta's Spring '15 runway collection takes its cue from the easy elegance of dancers in post-rehearsal clothing. Graceful shades of baby-blue, pink and oatmeal were seen on everything from chunky knitwear to balletic T-bar flats, giving the lineup a feminine but unfussy appeal. The 'Olympia' is our current favourite of the label's iconic intrecciato bags.

Umm. The firepro series have other drivers.
Just go to the amd driver site
step 1 -> Workstation Graphics
step 2 -> FirePro Performance Pre-WHQL Driver
step 3 -> FirePro 2270
step 4 -> whatever Linux architecture you have
etc. Not that hard.
PS why did you get a workstation graphics card? Those tend to be more expensive and slower than the consumer cards.

Yeah, I wish there were reviews somewhere for it!! We need a new one. We've gone through several and they are all horrible with too much static or interference. At least with Amazon they do offer free returns....hard to say though which is the better deal!

Be careful. The 2.4 GHz frequency clashes with most wifi systems and can be almost unusable due to interference. The latest technology is dect 6.0. Also older technology 900 MHz is better in terms of interference with wifi.

Ah yes BUT this is digital. as you read in the manual or on this page digital means they don't have the same issues as 2.4Ghz Analog signals which were a mess and terrible at interference. I'm in for 1!
It would make me nervous to have a baby monitor without some sort of temperature reading, especially in the winter times. Our babies' room can easily get 5 or 6 degrees below what the temperature on our thermostat in the living room reads, especially at night. Just a personal preference/food for thought though.
This is great to take for traveling or to leave at Grandma's house. I use a video monitor at home but I have 2 of these for the above mentioned and they work great!
Would be better if it worked. Unit has pretty flashing lites but outside of that... dead.

From time to time, I buy a jar of Chinese honey. It makes sense. After all, I live in China. Why not buy local? Of course, Chinese products are often suspect in some way – many Chinese folks I've spoken to are suspicious of honey coming from their own country, and as I've written about before, they have a reason to be. But I've also written that it's impossible for us to avoid toxins completely given what we, as humans, have done to our world. So Chinese honey and whatever chemicals it contains makes their way into my kitchen.
This time round, I secured a jar of acacia honey. One of the more common monofloral honeys, this honey comes from the false acacia tree (洋槐 yáng huái – black locust tree or Robinia pseudoacacia). The tree grows in warmer climates in Europe and North America, but it also grows in China. The honey is usually rather light in colour, but can have an amber hue (particularly if it has been pasteurized) like in the jar you see here.
Acacia honey has a higher fructose content than most honeys. As a result, it tastes sweeter – you will likely need less to sweeten your tea – and it probably won't crystallize like most honeys will over time.
See other posts on my Chinese honey adventures:

Dear Faithful Readers of Kylie's Blog,
Kylie was right in saying that yesterday was almost too much to handle for one blog because after reading her entry I realized a few interesting parts had been omitted. So if you would allow me to attempt to not only fill in the blanks but also attempt to write on par with my very talented and humorous travel partner.
Gatlinburg had many traps and vices along the streets including stores to entice every kind of person imaginable. Surprisingly enough even a sophisticated Canadian like Kylie (being the hillbilly I am I was attracted to nearly every store). Walking along to dinner we found a giant sock store that she found some very funny crab socks she got in honor of Crabby Cakes. Later we found a shop advertising that they had a scrapbooking section downstairs which had a t-shirts that said "Laugh, Love, Scrapbook" and "Live well, Laugh much, Scrapbook often". She also got alot of cool scrapbook pages that said Gatlinburg or just looked nice and naturey.
Other than that I think its important to note how at the Ripley's Odditorium they had this mirror you could practice rolling your tongue which you find out later is a two-sided mirror where you can watch people making idiots of themselves. As for the motion rides, while I do love them as well as 3D rides I did not force Kylie on the ride, it was her sweetness that drove her to agree to go with me becuase she knows I love them. You know since I take her to see so many chick flicks, which make me respond similarly to how she did during the ride.
Finally I wanted to add that while at the funny Italian restaurant with the Russian waitress, Kylie got yet another call from Liberty about a third department that wants to interview her. I was very proud that so many people are impressed with her resume there that three separate departments are looking to hire her. Good Job darling!
I return you to your regularly scheduled blog that is already in progress......
Day 21 & 22: Gatlinburg & Bristol, TN & Coeburn
Trip Start

Where I stayed
Andrew's Grandparent's House
Yesterday began very early because we needed to drive to St. Paul for Andrew to take a drug test for his new job before hitting the road for Gatlinburg. The drug place was very shady. It used to be a tanning place and also a hair salon. You can tell what it was because the signs are still up and barely painted over. So he was very freaked out and just trying to drink a lot while we waiting for the workers to arrive back from the drug store (there was a sign saying they just stepped out). But he was glad to get it over with. Although, he said he had trouble getting enough to fill the line but you don't really need to know all this information.
Then we hit the road on the way to the closest Panera which was an hour away but only added about 10 minutes to our driving time to the tourist trap of the world. So we finally got there, by this time we were starved and got some breakfast. I had a very delicious bagel and pumpkin muffie and Andrew had a bagel breakfast sandwich. We got them to go so we could keep truckin'.
Daniel told us we would arrive in Gatlinburg right after 11 am so this was very exciting and about half an hour before we had planned. At about 10:30 we were already seeing the outside fringes of tackiness. For the last part of our drive we could see giant stores, mini-golf places, and lots of t-shirts for sale. We even saw an upside down building and a life-size replica of the Titanic. Yes it is a very interesting area.
Once we reached the actual city of Gatlinburg, which took a bit longer than Daniel said because of all the crazy traffic, we found a good parking spot near our first attraction and headed inside. This was Ripley's Believe It or Not Odditorium. Here they had lots of crazy things that you think aren't real but they are. We say a goat with two heads, a guy who had two pupils in each eye, the suit from the tallest man in the world, and many optical illusions. One favorite exhibit of mine was describing how John Dillinger once escaped from prison by carving a potato into the shape of a gun and dying it with iodine. They also had a wax mold made of his face. That was a bit creepy. It was in a scary crime section where they had a door that would shoot people that came in, miniature guns that actually shot, a ball and chain, and the story of a man who was in prison for 20 years because his pants ripped. Oh one other very interesting thing we saw was a chastity belt. It is a bit difficult to explain so you'll have to see the picture. It was a bit disturbing. Andrew's favorite part of this attraction was this bridge that looks like it is swaying but it is actually an illusion and the room around it is moving back and Fourth. He also really liked this part where you walk out and it looks like they have a sculpture of a girl without a top on up ahead but then when you keep walking she disappears because it's just an illusion. We laughed really hard at this.
Next, we walked along and were planning to head down to one place we thought about going for lunch. On the way, we found Ripley's Moving Theater. This is one of the attractions we were planning on going to and we weren't really hungry yet so we decided to go right then. You must understand that I hate these things and I am very scared of 3D movies and things. Oh and did I mention, this motion ride also was in 3D. Yes, it was my worst nightmare. But Andrew loves them and really wanted to go. So we got in line even though we were not sure which of their 2 movies they were showing right then. It turned out that they were actually showing both of them. What a nice surprise for us! So I held on for dear life and closed my eyes for most of it. The first movie was about snow and you were riding a sled down a hill and through some rickety tubes. I thought it was pretty scary because we fell backwards a few times, another one of my fears. But then the second show started. I thought I would like this one because it was about skateboarding but then we kept going off these big ramps and flying through the air. Needless to say, my hands were rather sweaty and tired from holding on so tight to the grips. Then, when we left and I bent down to grab my purse, I whacked my head off of the hand rail between the rows of seats. Yeah, my day was really getting better. But after a bit of a stroll I recovered.
So, we kept walking towards lunch. Then, we saw this cool place that you could act like someone in the gold rush. They give you a bucket of dirt and this wooden frame with wire mesh inside. What you do is scoop the dirt into your mesh thing and put it down in the water to get the mud out. Then, whatever gems you find you get to keep. I asked if you actually found stuff and the guy said, "Of course, this is the real deal honey" or something like that. Anyways, it was lots of fun and we actually did find lots of good stones. We found some Topaz, Tourmaline, little emeralds, some Garnet and some others. The best gem I found was a large chunk of a Ruby that all the people working there said was really nice. They told us that we could probably get 2 3-Karat Rubies out of it but it cost about $50 per karat to cut. So, we didn't cut right now but we may look for somewhere to cut it later. They will cut any stones you find and put them in different jewelry if you wanted. We did not get any cut them but went back later in the evening to talk to them when they were less busy. Andrew wanted some cuff links but to get a stone cut big enough for them was going to be a bit expensive so he decided to wait. I got an Amethyst cut but I still need to find a setting for it when I get it back in 3 weeks.
Then finally we got to the place we were headed but it was closed. Then we realized we had planned to go to a different place on the other end of the strip to eat lunch but it was far away so we just wandered down toward the Aquarium (our after-lunch destination) and found a place along there. We decided on a place that's name sounded familiar so we thought we may have seen it be recommended online, Legends by Max (or something like that). It was good but I don't think we will go back next time. Our waitress didn't really speak English but seemed like she was from Russia or somewhere around there even though the restaurant is supposed to be Italian. I asked for a side salad to go with my sandwich and she said "I think I will bring you the whole thing and you just eat some." But I did get a side salad so apparently her assistant did speak some English. But the food was decent and it looked nice and the bathroom was clean. So it was an enjoyable experience.
Then, it was off to see the fishies. We stopped at a few candy stores on the way, they are in abundance in Gatlinburg, to get some dessert and snacked on it as we strolled. The aquarium was also by Ripley's Believe it or Not so there were lots of interesting facts written about the fish there. We saw these fish that hop around in the mud. They were very cool and some of Andrew's favorite but the video talked about how they had to do with evolution so that was kind of not as nice. We also saw these fish that have built-in bifocals because they swim at the surface and can see above and below the water. There were other fish that could change their sex. One group of fish always travels in a group of about 32 females and 1 male. When the male dies, the highest ranking female changes and becomes the male for the group. They also had a shark tunnel where you go through and there are sharks all around you. There were even some scratches on the glass that they said was a result of a shark attack. They had a tunnel to crawl through the penguin aquarium too but none of the penguins were swimming so it wasn't as exciting. Although, you could come up in the middle and they were right there looking at you through the glass.
I couldn't resist getting a few souvenirs at the aquarium and found this delightful little shark in a sweatshirt that said Ripley's Aquarium. But I wanted a shark in a blue sweatshirt but they only sold them in pink and purple sweatshirts. But they did have turtles wearing blue or green sweaters. So, Andrew was very sweet and had the brilliant idea to have a turtle and a shark switch shirts. The plan went off without a hitch and now I am the proud owner of a shark-y in a blue sweatshirt. I am very happy with him because he is very cute.
After the aquarium, we took our time strolling back to the place we tried to eat for lunch because we knew where it was and it looked good. We stopped at several shops on the way and got some cheesy souvenirs and I found some scrap booking stuff. I think we may have also stopped at another candy store. Well there was for sure some candy store we stopped at sometime through out the day where they had lots of gummy things - we got gummy lobsters, dinosaurs, and mini bears but passed on the eggs, sharks, and fishes.
When we got back to the Cherokee grill for dinner we headed right in and got a table. Our waiter was very nice and the food was delicious. I got a spit roasted half chicken so I was able to better educate Andrew on the differences between dark and white meat. Andrew got some catfish which he also throughly enjoyed. We would definitely consider going back to this place and I recommend it to you if you ever head to this place.
After dinner we strolled back to the area of the car and stopped to talk to the gem place when I decided to get that one stone cut, as I mentioned before. When we got near the car we found the space needle arcade. We didn't plan to go anywhere else. We were actually excited to be leaving a little earlier than planned. But somehow we ended up looking around this arcade. And I saw they had a pirate Elmo you could win. Then we were hooked. So we got some tokens and played for a while. We first played the fun games to get that out of our system so we could focus on winning tickets. So we played until we had enough for Elmo. When we went to trade our tickets in, the guy was very nice and actually let us have some extra prizes and charged us less for Elmo so that was good. Then we were satisfied and left just after the time we had originally planned to.
Since it was late we decided to only drive back to Andrew's Grandparent's house (his Mamaw and Papaw) since it was about an hour closer than his house. Daniel told us we could be there at 11:30 but we didn't get there until midnight because we stopped for Gas and McFlurries. And we actually first stopped at a Ben and Jerry's but it was closed, sadly. When we arrived at Mamaw and Papaw's, I had already been sleeping for about half the drive so we pretty much fell right asleep. In the morning, we got up to have breakfast with Papaw before he headed out for an appointment then went back to sleep for about another 3 hours. Apparently, it was a very draining day of being tourists. Then we ate some lunch and headed back to Andrew's house. I very much enjoyed eating meals there and I think his Mamaw enjoyed cooking for us. She kept asking if I liked things then giving me the recipe. I wish I thought I could remember them, but I'm sure she would give them to me again if I asked.
On the way back, we stopped at the Pizza Inn to get a cookie pizza. Andrew has wanted me to try one of these every time I have come in but something has always happened and we weren't able to. I have yet to eat a slice of it but it looks delicious. I think it will be for dessert after the southern feast Andrew's mom is cooking up for us. She is making sweet potato balls, fried squash and cornbread so far.
I am also excited I got two exciting e-mails today. One was from the person that interviewed me giving me some coding problems I need to work on as "next steps" and another was from a professor who was passing on some job opportunities. So you can be praying for those things especially that I have the time and knowledge to do that coding.
The rest of today will be focused on packing and getting things done that need to get done before I head back to Lynchburg then home. It has been a good trip to the south, a very different south than Charleston but still with the same pride. I hope you have enjoyed seeing both sides of it.
Hooray for Kylie getting a US job! They would be crazy not to hire her.....
Also, we went to Gatlinburg when I was 10. We also went to Hillbilly golf (the one in the picture). I tried to play, but I hit the ball too hard and it flew right off into the mountain. I was forced to reimburse them for this golf ball. Good times

By Rosalba O'Brien
LONDON (Reuters) - Anglo-Dutch consumer goods company Unilever Plc/NV's
The company "We're making much clearer choices - allocating resources, and concentrating where we see the most potential," Chief Financial Officer Jean-Marc Huet told reporters after on a call with reporter journalists on Wednesday. "It could be the launch of Tresemme (hair care products) in Brazil, Indonesia, India. It could be the launch of this product in the U.S., Magnum (ice cream) in the Philippines, Bertolli Gold (olive oil spread) in the Nordics, the UK - the list continues." Dove Damage Therapy haircare and Rexona Maximum Protection deodorant had been stand-out successes in 2012, the company said, while it is promoting its new Axe/Lynx Apollo deodorant with a global competition offering a trip into space. Unilever shares were up 3 percent at 2,527 pence at 1254 GMT, a record high for the company, born 83 years ago out of the merger of Sunlight Soap and foods maker Lever Brothers and Dutch group Margarine Unie. Now it is the spreads business - Flora margarine, and others - which is more exposed to sluggish developed markets and the biggest drag on the company's growth, with the foods business growing a comparatively weak 1.8 percent last year. "In spreads we're focused on recovering the volumes. We've taken some pretty serious price actions," said Huet. Huet cautioned that overall markets still remained tough, with no room for complacency. "In 2013 the markets in which we operate will continue to be difficult. Competition will remain intense and consumers are still feeling very much the effects of austerity measures," he said. STANDARD GUIDANCE The maker of Omo detergent and Ben & Jerry's ice-cream said overall 2012 underlying sales grew 6.9 percent, beating forecasts of 6.5 percent. Emerging markets, which make up around 55 percent of the company's turnover, grew 11.4 percent. That performance contrasts with rivals that have been slower to move into fast-growth regions. Unilever's main household products rival Procter & Gamble Unilever did not give a specific outlook for 2013, but repeated its mantra of focusing on growing ahead of its markets, on steady core operating margin improvement and on strong cash flow. "As expected, 2013 guidance was the standard and somewhat vague," said analyst Andrew Wood at Bernstein. "Management remains cautious on the markets and competition, but that was no different to its position 12 months ago. Still, it will be tough for Unilever to repeat 2012's success, especially on the top line." Analysts at Shore Capital retained their 'buy' rating on the stock, saying that despite the high valuation, Unilever's investment potential remained "in its infancy", pointing to the company's emerging markets exposure and sustained margin expansion. Core operating margin grew to 13.8 percent in 2012, bettering many analyst predictions, as Unilever said it stayed "rigorous" on driving down costs. Raw material cost rises were expected to be between low and single digits in 2013, Huet said. Sales for the full year were up 10.5 percent at 51.3 billion euros, while core earnings per share rose 11 percent to 1.57 euros, both in line with forecasts.

I was advised by Hush Puppies that this style ran on the small side. So I ordered it in a half size larger. (I wear an 8 and went to an 8 1/2). I find that I am constantly falling out of my shoes. An 8 would have been perfect and that was what I as going to order to begin with. I should Have stuck to my own instincts. Now I'll have to figure out how to keep the shoes on my feet so I can walk in them! Aside from all that they are extremely comfortable, even with the height. The hidden platform makes all the difference. They are gorgeous to look at ,and make my legs look in shape! Now if I could only figure out which colour I want for this season. The Black were the winter's choice.
Thank you very much for the feedback! We value our customers' comments and we will definitely watch out for that kind of issue!

United Airlines on Tuesday did what it said it would do.
That is, the airline announced that it would make a commitment to Mammoth beyond one daily flight from San Francisco.
In addition, the airline tweaked its schedule with SFO in the hopes that it could alleviate a turnback/cancellation rate of over 30 percent last season.
No longer will the jets have to land in the dark and take off from Mammoth in the dark. Rather, the flights have been moved up to earlier in the day
But the big news comes from Down South.
In the coming ski season, United will offer San Diego and Orange County residents access to Mammoth Yosemite Airport. United is also expanding service from San Francisco International Airport to Mammoth Lakes with a second flight from Friday – Monday.
The new flights will depart daily throughout the winter from San Diego and four days per week from Orange County (Friday - Monday). In addition, air service to and from San Francisco now includes additional Friday - Monday flight service to complement the daily flight service already in existence.
United Express regional partner SkyWest Airlines will operate the flights using 66-seat CRJ700 regional jets which include six first-class and 60 economy seats per plane. The first flights of the season are scheduled to depart Thursday, December 15, from San Francisco and San Diego and Friday, December 16 from Orange County.
The service from the two new markets of San Diego and Orange County has been long-awaited by Mammoth's many customers in these areas.
"The new service will allow fans of Mammoth in San Diego and Orange County to spend less time in their car and more time on the slopes with the ability to get to Mammoth Mountain in about an hour," said Howard Pickett, Chief Marketing Officer of Mammoth Mountain Ski Area, in a press release.
"The additional flight from San Francisco will greatly benefit out-of-state visitors by providing an additional connection for even easier access to Mammoth through United's San Francisco hub."
Mammoth Yosemite Airport also receives year-round flights from Los Angeles and winter seasonal flights from San Jose through Alaska Airlines.
The new schedule looks like this:
Alaska Airlines - 800-547-9308
