Editor's note: The recipe and introductory text below are excerpted from Mai Pham's book The Best of Vietnamese and Thai Cooking. Pham also shared some helpful cooking tips exclusively with Epicurious, which we've added at the bottom of the page.

Cha gio are considered culinary treasures, delighting everyone who's tried them. Light and crispy, spring rolls are traditionally wrapped with rice paper. At Lemon Grass, however, we use a more durable type of spring roll wrapper made from wheat flour. Also used for Filipino-style lumpias, they are marketed under the Menlo brand and stocked in the frozen food department of Asian grocery stores. These 8 X 8-inch wrappers seal the filling so well that no oil can seep through during frying; this is not the case with rice paper.
YIELD: Makes about 25 pieces
- 1 ounce dried bean thread noodles, soaked in hot water for 30 minutes, drained, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces with a scissors (about 2/3 cup)
- 1 tablespoon dried tree ear mushrooms, soaked in hot water for 30 minutes, drained, and stems trimmed and chopped with a scissors
- 2/3 cup finely minced yellow onion
- 2 carrots, grated
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 pound ground chicken
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/3 cup water
- 15 thin spring roll wrappers such as Menlo brand
- Oil for frying
Combine the bean thread noodles, mushrooms, onion, carrots, and green onions in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Mix in the fish sauce, garlic, salt, sugar, and black pepper. Add the chicken and pork and using a fork, break up the meat, so it is thoroughly mixed with the seasonings. Add the noodle mixture and mix well. Set aside.
Combine the cornstarch and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over low heat and stir often to prevent sticking. If mixture seems too thick, add more water. This will be the "glue" to seal the edges of the wrapper.
Cut the wrappers in half diagonally. You will have two equal triangles. Starting with the longest side toward you, place about 2 tablespoons of filling on the bottom area of the triangle. Using your fingers, mold the filling into a cylinder 2 inches long and 1 inch wide. Fold the two pointed ends of the wrapper in and roll to enclose. Dab a little cornstarch mixture along the edges (do not use too much "glue") and seal the roll. Set aside while you finish making the remaining rolls. Do not stack them.
To fry, preheat a large wok or fry pan. When hot, pour enough oil in to completely cover the spring rolls. Heat to about 325 degrees. Carefully place the rolls into the oil. Do not crowd the pan or place the rolls on top of each other. Fry the spring rolls until filling is cooked, about 5 to 6 minutes on each side, turning often until they are nicely brown and crisp. If they brown too quickly, reduce the heat as the oil is too hot. Remove the cooked spring rolls from the pan and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with dipping sauce and table salad .
To enjoy a spring roll the Vietnamese way, put it on a lettuce leaf, top with cucumber and mint, and wrap it up. Then dip in Vietnamese dipping sauce.
Chef Mai Pham shares her tips with Epicurious: Cha gio are traditionally made with rice paper wrappers. But the wrappers available in the United States are thicker than those used in Vietnam and, while fine for raw summer rolls, don't fry well their thickness makes them too sticky. For fried spring rolls, Pham suggests using thin Chinese-style wheat wrappers. Do not be tempted to substitute wonton wrappers, which are also too thick. Bean thread noodles, also called glass or cellophane noodles, are thin, transparent, wiry noodles made from mung bean starch. They're sold dried at Asian grocery stores and many supermarkets. Tree ears, also called wood ears, cloud ears, or black fungus, are thin black mushrooms that add crunch to many Asian dishes. They're sold dried in Asian markets. "Avoid the larger two-toned mushrooms as they can be tough and gritty, especially around the stems," says Pham. Fish sauce (nuoc mam), a pungent, salty liquid made from fermented anchovies, adds depth and flavor to numerous Vietnamese dishes. For best results, choose bottles priced at $3 to $4 rather than $1, and pass on jars that are dark, which indicates oxidation or the presence of additives. "Look for fish sauce in glass jars. Avoid plastic," says Pham. "The fish sauce should have a nice, even color, like iced tea." She suggests Three Crabs, Lobster Boy, and Phu Quoc brands. When cooking with fish sauce, always add it to other liquids: Never place it directly in a hot, dry pan, which would broadcast its pungent, fishy odor throughout your kitchen in a less-than-pleasant way. Soy sauce is an acceptable vegetarian substitute, though it does lack fish sauce's smoky complexity. Like dough, spring roll filling should not be overmixed or it will become too dense. Use your hands or a fork to gently mix the ingredients together.

Phoenix 104, San Antonio 98
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Tue, 05/15/07, 08:39am:
There was an extended moment as the game began to slip away from Phoenix last night early in the fourth quarter when the reality and breadth of their underachievement set in: The Phoenix Suns, the team that had rescued professional basketball in North America, the most likable squad in our lifetime, pro sports' fair-haired kids. Yet here they were, stumbling home from a bender, wrapping the family car around a telephone pole. If they lose this series with a whimper, they'll be broken into several little pieces, only to be reassembled as an unrecognizable derivation of what we all know and love.
When Tony Parker hit a couple of free throws with 3:58 left in the game, the Spurs extended their narrowing lead back up to seven. And, as we know, San Antonio isn't the kind of team that blows seven point leads at home. What follows is a 16-3 run that, at least momentarily, saves the Phoenix Suns from sports mortality:
- With Tim Duncan sitting with five fouls, Nash brings it up against Bruce Bowen and gets a very, very high screen from Amare [guarded by Oberto]. The height of the screen is notable, and it gets Nash a considerable running start. Nash manages to work a drive against Oberto as far as the foul line, while Amare has recovered, trying to seal Bowen in the low post. The Spurs' halfcourt man-to-man here is as sound as it's been all night. The Spurs played one of their trademark games for 42 minutes, as good as anything we've seen from them over the past decade in a big game, and the pace in this set is about at San Antonio-ish as it gets. Nash swings it to Bell who dumps it into Amare off the right mid-post, still defended by Bowen. Amare holds the ball momentarily, then springs left with a fierce drive into the lane. His layup is good. Neither Ginobili nor Finley do much in the way of help, even though they're far inside the arc.
San Antonio 95, Phoenix 90 [3:36]
- Ginobili and Oberto had run a beautiful Argentine S/R off the right wing [call it the
PinochetVidela S/R] just a few minutes before and that's clearly what Ginobili has in mind here, except that Marion rotates over on a diving Oberto. I know the box score won't be kind to Marion, but his defense last night on rotations and in general help situations was stellar - as always. Ginobili reverses the ball to Parker, who misses a wide open 19-footer. Rebound Amare.
- The Suns run the ball upcourt and Bell launches an instant 25-foot 3PA that's doesn't come close and ends up in Oberto's hands. Duncan continues to sit.
- Oberto sets a screen for Parker, who drives into the lane against a backtracking Amare, with Marion in pursuit from behind. He misses the layup, and the ball squirts over to Nash.
- Nash races it up in transition and, at 70 mph, leaves the ball for Bell at the top of the arc. The essential piece here is that, after Nash drops the ball, he plants himself in Ginobili's path. Ginobili can never recover, and Bell gets a clear lane to the hoop for a layup.
Still no Duncan underneath.
San Antonio 95, Phoenix 92 [2:42]
- The Spurs' interior defense has turned to flan and Gregg Popovich has seen enough. Tim Duncan reenters the game for Oberto.
SA tries to run a S/R for Ginobili-Duncan, but on Manu's drive, Shawn Marion steps up from the baseline and blocks the shot. Fortunately for the Spurs, it lands in Duncan's hands and he lays it off the glass for a layup.
San Antonio 97, Phoenix 92 [2:22]
- The Suns walk it up and Amare sets a high, high screen for Nash, who gets Duncan on the switch. Nash buys a second with a crossover, stops, sets, and hits a little 17-foot jumper. With five fouls, Duncan seems tentative to challenge the jump shot, for obvious reasons.
San Antonio 97, Phoenix 94 [2:05]
- Parker dishes the ball to Ginobili on the left side, with Bell giving him absolutely no room. Manu dumps it into Duncan off the left high post, and Duncan draws an immediately double-team from Marion. As Marion moves over, Parker is left alone about five feet from the basket. If Duncan holds it another second, he'll see Parker cut, but the double-team is smothering and Duncan kicks a skip pass to the first teammate he sees - Bowen alone on the wing [Marion quickly moves now to collect Parker]. This isn't Bowen's shot, so he dishes it over to a well-guarded Finley [to the extent that anyone Barbosa covers can be "well-guarded"]. With the shot clock winding down, Finley passes it back up top to Ginobili, who drives and throws up a flailing runner that draws nothing but glass. Marion on the rebound.
- In transition, Nash finds Bell along the left arc where Raja likes to set up. Bell springs to shoot the 3PA, but at the last minute sees Marion dive down the lane unguarded. Bell zips the ball into Marion at the rim and Marion jams.
Side note: Steve Kerr pretty much knows what's going on in every facet of the game at every moment, and can articulate without hysteria or hyperbole.
San Antonio 97, Phoenix 96 [1:31]
- San Antonio spreads the floor, but the movement has slowed to a halt. Phoenix is manned up, with Amare guarding Duncan on the right block, which is where Duncan gets the ball with about :06 remaining on the shot clock. He tries to spin right and drive through the lane, but Amare gives him very little. When Duncan spins left with :03 left on the shot clock, there's Marion to deny him access to the baseline. With no other recourse, Duncan forces up a fadeaway 9-footer that doesn't drop. Marion grabs the rebound. Down only one, Phoenix has officially taken control of the basketball game.
- A high Nash/Stoudemire S/R, this time on the left side. Duncan picks up the penetrating Nash, but - playing with five fouls - has to backpedal tentatively through the lane. Bowen rushes to recover and, as he picks up Nash underneath the basket, Nash drops a behind-the-back pass into the lane for Stoudemire, who skies above the rim and lays it in. Once Bowen recovers Nash, Duncan never turns to pick up Amare.
Phoenix 98, San Antonio 97 [0:53.0]
- After the SA timeout, the Spurs inbound the ball into Ginobili in their backcourt. They run a nice set here - Michael Finley fades around a Duncan baseline screen that shakes Finley free of Barbosa for a 12-foot jumper. The shot doesn't fall and, go figure, Shawn Marion collects the remains.
- Nash spends some time dribbling deep in the backcourt against Bowen. He gets the high screen from Amare at about :14 and, as Amare drags toward the hoop, Nash delivers a behind-the-back bounce pass to him at the stripe. Amare doesn't hesitate in directly challenging Duncan. The right-handed layup is good.
Lawler's Law: First team to 100 wins.
Phoenix 100, San Antonio 97 [0:32.5]
- Offense-Defense. For PHX, Thomas for Stoudemire; for SA: Horry for Bowen.
The Spurs inbound in the half-court, and the ball goes over to Ginobili on the left wing against Raja Bell. Once he collects the pass, Ginobili immediately puts it on the floor, gets a clean drive to the hoop, lays it up...bounce, bounce, bounce. It doesn't fall.
The ball dribbles into the corner where Barbosa is the first to arrive on the scene with :22.9 left in the game. Barbosa zips it over to Nash deep in the SA backcourt, with the Spurs in hot pursuit. As Nash races it up, Robert Horry delivers a forearm to Nash's head in front of the scorers table.
Plenty will be written about this incident today. What's unfortunate, other than the unnecessary violence, is that a guy who has furnished us with so many great moments had to lace a beautiful basketball game with something extracurricular. The worst of it is that this perfect series might lose some of its best on-court characters for what could be the greatest Game Five in recent memory.
A flurry of technical, flagrant and garden-variety foul shots results in...
Phoenix 102, San Antonio 98 [0:16]

Ducasse Starting in 2013?
Last Friday I had a little fun on Spreecast, something we'll try and do more of in coming weeks, but one of the questions what what the Jets might do about the offensive line. After a lot of rambling by me, I made the point that the Jets are doing something this year in anticipation of next year.
Our buddies at JetNation.com wrote about it over the weekend and I think it's worth sharing their thoughts on the matter, comparing Ducasse to the failed Adrien Clarke experiment of 2007.
They are obviously grooming offensive lineman Vladimir Ducasse to be their starting left guard next season. The Jets have been rotating Ducasse in for starter Matt Slauson about 10 plays per game.
Ducasse has been a major disappointment since being drafted 61st in 2010 but going into next season both Jets guards are heading towards free agency. With the team having tight finances they are looking to fill potential holes from within but watching Ducasse often block air instead of the opponent isn't instilling confidence that he's not Clarke part II, penny wise pound foolish.
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.com
Their point about the guards is key. With both Moore and Slauson up for contracts, it stands to reason that the Jets are unlikely to keep both. With a tight cap expected for the team, their best chance might be to take on some younger (and cheaper) talent on the line. I'd expect the Jets to look to draft some players, but I'd also expect unless Moore takes a bargain deal, the Jets will work to keep Slauson and move him to the right side of the formation, where he can provide more help to whomever starts at right tackle next season.
Ducasse will likely never be tackle material, his first three years have already proven that. I know I'll get killed for it, but the truth is that he's got some crazy athleticism that can be seen in sparks. Of course it's his consistency that's been such an issue for him. Still, guard is a much easier position to cover the multitude of sins of lesser players and left guard seems like the wise choice based on the context.
With blockers on either side every play, it's less of an issue for players to get beat in pass protection. Mangold and Brick are the two best players on the line, so Ducasse would theoretically be bolstered by their play.
Which then leads us back to the cautionary tale of Adrien Clarke. Yes, it's fair to bring him up, but Brick was just in his second year at the spot and needed much more help at that point in his career. He had that in his first and third years in Kendall and then Faneca, but Clarke was more of a drag in year two. Brick is not the young player he was back in 2007, so while we see the concern, I'll want to watch Ducasse and Brick's work together more closely during the second half of the season to make a declaration on the team's best plan come the offseason …

Never mind.
The state Liquor Authority has reversed its recent decision that a local catering company must sell both beer and food at the Watertown Municipal Arena during Thousand Islands Privateers hockey games.
In an email from the catering company, city officials learned Friday that the Liquor Authority will now allow the company, Savory Beverages & Beyond, to sell alcohol, while the city can operate the food concession stand at the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds.
On Jan. 28, the Watertown City Council approved a contact calling for Savory to pay $300 per game for the right to operate the food concession stand. Council members made the move because they thought it would put the city in state compliance. The city now will have to void that contract.
Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham said Saturday that he did not know why the Liquor Authority had a change of heart, only joking that a parallel universe might exist within the state agency to allow the city to sell food again.
I guess we can go back where we began, the mayor said.
Mr. Graham, however, has called a special meeting for 7 p.m. today to talk about the states decision, adding that he believes the council should have a chance to weigh in on it.
The Liquor Authority also changed the procedure for how Savory can sell beer and wine at the Federal Hockey League games. Instead of requiring Savory to have a season alcohol license, the company will be allowed to get one-day permits for individual games, according to the email from Savory owner Steven A. Baytos.
The city has been making an average $527 profit by operating the concession stand this season.
The city runs the concession stand during non-Privateer events.
Two years ago, the citys Parks and Recreation Department took over the concession stand and upgraded it.
The council meeting will be in the third-floor council chambers at City Hall, 245 Washington St.

This just works. I should have purchased additional reagents. decent By shane on 2/13/2014 shane would recommend this product to a friend does the job, may have fluctuations in readings. Only comes with three reagent packs. Great, but buy more regent right away By Mtthbrook on 2/9/2014 Mtthbrook would recommend this product to a friend Product works great and is easy to use but your going to need more reagent than they include so you may as we'll order the 25 pack from brs at the same time Exellent By Arnaudys on 2/6/2014 Arnaudys would recommend this product to a friend This is the first time that I own one of this test kit, I`m so happy that I bought Hanna Checker. After testing with and seen the results I went ahead and order the Alk and Cal. I would encourage serious reefer in the hobby to get one of this. Price wise, little big expensive but well worth it. Over all awesome test kit, well don by Hanna checker. I only wish they had a test kit for Mg as well... Reefers out there with phosphate problems don`t waste time and money in guessing what the result is, you might have a lot of money and time invested your tank, you need to make sure and not guess. The design needs improvement By John on 2/1/2014 John would recommend this product to a friend For context, I am relatively new to the hobby and cannot compare this checker to the alternatives - either for ease of use or accuracy. What I will comment on are the two weaknesses raised by others: the very short timeout, and the reagent packets. The unit will timeout too quickly between the two measurements. In measuring two water samples, I had to redo one because I took a little too long before returning the sample w/the reagent. This seems excessive. Another reviewer has suggested using one bottle for the plan sample and the other for a sample + reagent so you don't have to wait - I shall definitely try this. On to the reagent packets: Other test kits I have used contain small bottles of reagent + a measuring spoon. If the thought behind the packets is to avoid inaccuracy due to the amount of reagent scooped out with a measuring spoon, I can't believe the packets are much better - by the time one has completely opened the packet to see if any is lurking in a corner, any extra might be spilled or you suffer from the timeout. There is a video on the manufacturer's website (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8e_EOWAkLTc#t=26) which shows a different way of opening the packets (cut on two adjacent sides, rather than just along the top as indicated on the packets themselves). I have yet to try their method, but it may help. Finally, I second the suggestion that you should order more reagent packets when ordering the checker. It comes with 8 packets, which will not likely translate into running 8 complete tests. Simple to Use By Todd on 1/26/2014 Todd would recommend this product to a friend For those looking to get an accurate reading this checker is extremely easy to use as well as accurate. For those who are keeping SPS this is a must have. No more color charts By Mario on 1/23/2014 Mario would recommend this product to a friend Works great. Wish there was a liquid reagent, but had no problems using this right out of the box. Easy to use and well made By chris on 1/15/2014 chris would recommend this product to a friend I really like the Hanna Checker. It is very easy to perform the tests. I still wish it was a little more accurate. The instructions say to expect a +/- .04 result variance. When you are trying to maintain as close to 0 as possible it seems kind of useless if your results can be between 0- .04. Great tester By Matt on 1/14/2014 Matt would recommend this product to a friend Yes, there are some complaints about this test. If you take your time and have a little patience it will work out fine. The results are well worth a little learning, you get a digital readout with the numbers instead of trying to match up the color to a chart which may or may not match. You will want to order the refill packets as well, you will need them anyways. A great piece of gear. The good, the bad and the ugly By David on 12/16/2013 David would recommend this product to a friend The good news is the Hanna Checker is nicely packaged and easy to use. The bad is that I have to repeat the test because I keep getting error messages. The ugly part is that they don't provide enough of the test powder packets and they are difficult to open. I may be getting inconsistent results because I am getting differing amounts of test powder in the test vials. Buy a refill right off the bat. Fill one vial with a clean water sample and another with the powered or the checked can time out on you. Good tool but fell a bit short on execution. No way I am going back to another tester. Needs more reagent and better packaging By Jaculus on 12/11/2013 Jaculus would recommend this product to a friend My first non-5 Star rating here. Like others have said the packet is a PITA! Really its ridiculous to expect us to use those packets. I know they have the video that shows how to use the packets and the tricks,, why not just ship it differently. Also as many have said, shipping this with only 6 packets is a JOKE. Otherwise, the system works far FAR better than any other method especially trying to read those color shades. Buy this if you have phosphate issues you need to watch closely BUT expect to watch the special video on how to deal with the reagent packets and for sure you will need to buy the refill packets with your initial purchase to avoid extra shipping charges when you realize they only ship 6 of the packets with the product. it works great for me By Dustin on 12/11/2013 Dustin would recommend this product to a friend I hate all the othe test kits for phos. I like reading numbers and not colors. I dont have any issues with this checker.

I'm surprised that this guy hasn't gotten more credit for being as talented as he is. Yeah sure, hes not playing really fast hardcore crazy repetative junk and hitting his double bass pedal a lot (thankfully never)... but plays some REALLY tasteful licks and has some a fantastic sense of where the song is headed and sets it up accordingly. Thank you Jon for being a great drummer in a great band :)

RICHMOND, Va. (WUSA) -- The Virginia House Of Delegates passed the Virginia's Road to the Future transportation funding and reform package on Tuesday morning. According to a statement from Governor Bob McDonnell it:
"...will generate the largest infusion of funding for Virginia's transportation system in more than 25 years. The plan will invest $3 billion over just the next five years to create a safe, efficient and reliable transportation system throughout the Commonwealth, while creating an estimated 20,000 jobs. "
The governor earlier cited a study on traffic congestion in Northern Virginia as part of his push to pass transportation funding bills HB 2313 and SB 1355. The study by the Texas Transportation Institute showed drivers in the area lose 67 hours in delays each year. The report also shows each driver loses $1398.
The bill had some amendments before it was advanced by the House.
The Senate still needs to vote on the legislation.

The Moab Fire District of the Bureau of Land Management has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) to analyze potential impacts associated with a normal year fire stabilization and rehabilitation plan (NFRP) to guide post-wildland fire management actions on public lands throughout the Moab, Monticello and Price field offices.
During a normal fire year the Moab Fire District averages one hundred wildfires resulting in 10,000 to 16,000 acres each year of disturbed and potentially damaged land. A programmatic NFRP would streamline emergency stabilization and rehabilitation (ES&R) procedures and enable timely on-the-ground treatments.
Although the final decision regarding implementation of ES&R actions rests with the field office manager, an NFRP can save time and decrease costs by reducing the repetitive preparation of stabilization and rehabilitation plans for individual fires.
Also, potential impacts from recommended ES&R measures are assessed during the development of the NFRP, which saves valuable time in implementing management actions to protect the health and safety of the public while preventing resource degradation and restoring ecosystem health.
The BLM collaborated with interested parties as well as federal, state and county agencies in putting together the proposed action for this valuable plan. The interested public is encouraged to comment on the final NFRP through Dec. 22 and a copy of the EA will be available in the Moab, Monticello and Price field offices.
Those who wish to withhold name or street address from public review or from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act must state this prominently at the beginning of written comments. Such requests will be honored to the extent allowed by law.
All submissions from organizations or businesses and from individuals identifying themselves as representatives or officials of organizations or businesses, will be made available for public inspection in their entirety.
Questions or comments regarding the NFRP can be emailed to email@example.com, or mailed to the attention of Kate Juenger, Bureau of Land Management, Moab/Price/Monticello Field Office, 82 East Dogwood, Moab, UT 84523. For more information contact Brian Keating, ES&R Coordinator, at 435-259-2194 or Kate Juenger, Planning Coordinator, at 435-259-2195.

Designated Driver programs are a key component of a community-based comprehensive impaired driving prevention effort. Combined with highly visible law enforcement, a Designated Driver program gives people the information they need to make informed choices and seek
alternatives to driving
while impaired. Safe Ride programs provide transportation for persons who
plan to drink.
Americans who participate
in social events where alcohol is available believe that people should use
Designated Drivers. Designated driving programs are simple, requiring as few
as two people to operate. The only requirement is that people plan ahead and
either select one person to refrain from drinking alcohol or arrange for a
safe ride home. Designating a sober driver in situations when alcohol is present
is something that should always be practiced.
For 58 years, the Ad Council has created the timely and compelling public service messages Americans needed to hear. Its mission is to use the power of advertising to raise awareness of, and stimulate action against, problems confronting Americans. One such problem is drinking and driving.
By creating the Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Drunk campaign, the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Ad Council launched an effort that would change the way Americans think about drinking and driving. Eighty-four percent of Americans recall having seen or heard a Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Drunk public service announcement. Nearly 80 percent report they took action to prevent a friend or loved one from driving drunk, and 25 percent report they stopped drinking and driving as a result of the campaign.
The Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Drunk campaign has taken many forms. Most recently, the "Innocent Victims" phase of PSAs features victims of drunk driving crashes. The message is clear: drunk driving is a deadly act that ends thousands of lives each year.
The Ad Council has produced PSAs for TV, radio, print, out of home and online media outlets. These PSAs encourage individuals to intervene and do whatever it takes to prevent someone from drinking and driving. The Ad Council PSAs are available for distribution to your local media outlets' public service directors to support your efforts to prevent drunk driving. By doing so, you can increase exposure of the impaired driving issue.
The Friends Campaign is produced in partnership with RADD and NAB.

Wild Elderberry Tea Helps Relieve Cold and Flu Symptoms and Whets Your Palate
Wild Elderberry Tea Tin
Wild Elderberry Tea Helps Relieve Cold and Flu Symptoms and Whets Your Palate
Wild Elderberry Tea Tin 9 9
Just wild about elderberry I love to have a cup every evening.The tea is great tasting and the smell divine.I even love the cute tin the bags come in.Of course,the main thing is its good for your health. March 4, 2014
not what I thought it was I was so excited to see that you had an elderberry tea when i was placing my last order, that I got careless and didn't read everything in the description. After receiving it today I was going to write my review and then saw all the other reviews AND the correct ingredients. I had, like several others, seen Dr. Oz recommend elderberry tea to help with colds and flu. This is not an herbal or fruit based tea with the main ingredients being elderberry. It is ceylon tea with NATURAL FLAVORS. That is not at all the same as a tea made with elderberries. I am disappointed and will have to remember not to drink it at night since caffeine in any amount keeps me awake for many hours. Disappointed in your representation. You have not disappointed me very often at all. So sorry I had to write this review. January 12, 2014
Tea Have had a couple of cups now,and I must say it is very good ! I've never seen it anywhere else but your store. Thanks so much for stocking it ! Veronica November 15, 2013
Not an herbal tea! The ingredients of this tea are: "Ceylon tea, Natural flavors". Ceylon is a regular caffeinated tea. Elderberries aren't even mentioned. I am guessing that the Elderberries are in the "Natural flavors", but that leaves me wondering if any real Elderberries were used at all, or if it is simply flavored, caffeinated tea. If so, I don't see how any healthful benefits from the Elderberries could be available. This is not the product described on this web site. I really like Vermont General Store, so I'm very disappointed. March 27, 2013
Really does Work! I was so excited when I found this tea here! I had been searching since I heard Dr Oz on his show saying how great this Eleerberry Tea was for relieving the symtoms of colds. I tried it and it does work! After I finish here, I am going to buy some more! Thanks DR Oz , and thanks Vermont Country Store. March 8, 2013
Elderberry Tea Works I was so impressed with the help that this tea gave me in ending by bout with nasal and sinus congestion. I just shared one of my containers with some of my friends at the Senior Center. I will definitely need to buy some more of it. February 13, 2013
yummy I actually stumbled on you website by pure accident but so glad i did. I was.specifically looking for Elderberry Tea and yours in the tin caught my eyes. It delicious and i add an Elderberry extract as well to it. Feeling great. February 13, 2013
It nice tea get over on cold and flu season Few weeks ago I too suffer from the FLU I felt achy luckly I watching Dr Oz show he talk about wild elderberry tea since I reallly don't have health food store around my hood I decied score off this website I love it IT was very fruity tea nice aroma yes if I have flu again I drink this I may order two boxes next time February 12, 2013

Roadrunner & Artist News
Roadrunner Sign goneblind
Posted on February 12, 2008Ladies and gentlemen, welcome the hardest working band in the business, goneblind. Hailing from Houston, TX, the band has spent the past three years touring the US - on their own accord and dime.Three years ago also happens to be the same time when Roadrunner A&R Rep Ron Burman started taking notice. At the annual SXSW festival in Austin, TX, Ron saw the band for the first time. Though some songs were in place, Ron tells that at the time something was missing.
Fast forward three years, late 2001, to a goneblind show at Arlene Grocery in NYC. "They fuckin' smoked," Ron states. "Fuckin' blew me away." And so it is, Roadrunner's latest band in the family, goneblind.
John Curry - vocals and guitar
Mitch Burman - bass
Marc Archer - drums
Artie Rincon - guitar
Description of the band? Hear for yourself - in our downloads section you will find an MP3 file of their song "Reminder", a demo recorded back in August 2001 in Orlando, Florida. For you tech guys out there, this demo was recorded on a lil' Roland 2480.
goneblind, welcome aboard.
goneblind, one of the newest acts to the Roadrunner family, is hitting the road from July 11-August 3 in the USA. This band, which is no stranger to the wears of the road, is confirmed to play the side stage on the upcoming Jerry Cantrell / Creed tour. The exact lineup for this tour is as follows: Creed headlining, Jerry Cantrell in direct support, and 12 Stones opening. On the side stage, it will be goneblind and another act called Familiar 48.

I'd say it's slightly a hitter's park, but nothing extraordinary like Coors field. There is no reason to change it. Basically every ballpark favors either pitchers or hitters, Camden Yards just happens to favor hitters and look FANTASTIC to top it off.

I have the MGIB-SR along with the Kicker coming my way, so that's about $530/mo. and I also have a bonus coming my way for $10,000 which, after taxes, should be ~$7500 I'm figuring. I'm trying to get an apartment, can I also qualify for any sort of BAH or do I have to be Title 10?
