The Raymour & Flanigan at Seneca Mall Rte 57 Warners, NY 13164 315-652-3711 is the worst store on the planet. They sold a friend of mine a sectional couch for a 1,000 bucks. That would have been fine if the couch was not damaged. We were going to load the couch onto my truck when we had noticed that it had a rip in the bottom about 5 inches long. If you have ever moved a couch you know that it is easier to move though doorways without the feet on. So my friend unscrewed one of the feet from the bottom of the couch. Upon doing this about a 20inch by 20 inch corner from the bottom cover fell. It was being held on by the foot of the couch!
Now the inside of the couch had been reveled. We saw that the corner of the frame of the couch had been broken and then repaired! Someone had "fixed" it by taking a piece of pine and "marring" it with sheet rock screws to the broken frame. So we tell the stock boys what we had found and one of them asked "did you rip it?" They then got the sales girl who said she "didn't no nothing about it" "they should have done a 360 on it" then went to get the store manager. The store manager (**) came back and asked us why WE ripped it. We said it was ripped to fix a broken frame and not stapled back up.
She then told us that she had us on video RIPPING the cover off the couch!! I was so pissed. I felt so bad for my friend. He was sold a broken couch, discovered the cover-up and then was accused of damaging property to get a discount! I left the building because I was so pissed off. My friend made them show him the video tape they claimed they had and it showed that we did NOT do what they accused us of. They refunded his money and told him that they had the same couch at a different store for 700 bucks more. Real nice. He declined the offer and left. I will never shop at Raymour And Flanigan. And I will tell all my friends of my experience.
LIVERPOOL, NEW YORK -- I purchased a full size pillow-top Sealy mattress from Raymour and Flanigan in 2004 that developed an impression of 3+ inches (making it uncomfortable to sleep on) within a year of using it. Raymour and Flanigan replaced the mattress with another one exactly like it due to "manufacture defect". The second mattress also developed an impression of 2.5 to 3 inches deep in less than a year. After calling in to notify Raymour and Flanigan that the second mattress had also failed, they gave me store credit based on the purchase price of bad mattress that I could used to purchase a different one. I ended up using the store credit towards a Sealy plush queen sized mattress.
The same thing happened again with the plush queen mattress. It developed a very deep impression of about 3 inches were I slept on it within a year. As one might imagine I got annoyed at having my mattress fail every year. Raymour and Flanigan told me to "rotate" the mattress. This was BS since the impression was the same down the middle of the mattress rotated one way as it was the other. They replaced the mattress yet again with another one just like it that also failed and formed a deep impression in well under a year.
After the second queen mattress had failed Ramour and Flanigan gave me store credit based on the price of my queen mattress to come in and select a different one. When I came in the store to make this reselection the salesman was pushy and lied to me about what mattresses were available. He tried to talk me into getting onto a payment plan for a $2000.00+ mattress when my store credit was for $600.00 based on the queen mattress I bought just two years before.
And get this; all their mattress prices had gone up. That meant that if I wanted to purchase a mattress the same as the one that failed, I would have to spend an additional $150.00-$200.00 on top of my store credit from the old mattress. I was very pee'd and ended up using my store credit to buy the cheapest Sealy queen mattress that I could find (no thanks to the lying salesman).
At present 2009 the cheap mattress that I bought is forming a good impression. It hasn't even been 6 months since I bought it! All I really want at this point is to return the mattress to Raymour and Flanigan for a full refund (which they don't do). I'll buy a $40.00 air mattress from Dick's sporting goods and sleep on it. At least it will never form an uncomfortable impression. If it's too soft I'll add air. If it's too firm I'll take air away. If anything happens to it I'm only out 40 bucks!
STATEN ISLAND, NEW YORK -- My mother purchased a twin mattress from the Richmond Avenue Staten Island location of the store. The sales person was very helpful (or course he was, we were there to spend money) and eventually my mom picked out an acceptable mattress at a reasonable price, a Sealy Posturepedic Cambria Heights model. I should mention that we also went to Macy's to compare, but ultimately went with Raymour and Flanigan because of their free delivery and quick delivery date.
The mattress was delivered on time, with no hassles. However, after a few days, my mother was complaining that the mattress was too soft, and she thought that she should exchange the mattress for a firmer, more expensive model. We waited until today, 2/25/09. The mattress was originally purchased on 1/26/09. We went to the store to speak to **, who remembered us and told us to come with him when we explained the situation. He brought us to a woman who we assumed was the store manager. She never introduced herself, and would not speak to us directly, only to **.
After walking away from us, with our paperwork, she finally returned a few minutes later and told us that in order for us to exchange mattresses, we would have to pay an additional $99. This is because, as she said, they throw out the mattress, so this is them taking a loss on the product. We said, "so then they throw it out?" She said yes, even though it has been documented that this mattress is only a month old. In addition, we would now have to pay over $100 for pick up of the "old" mattress and delivery of the new one. Huh?? But the original delivery fee was free.
Before we've even upgraded we are already spending $200. We asked where in the policy this was written. She was holding a slip of paper in her hand, the one not holding our envelope, and said we should have received that information.
We told her that we didn't have it in our packet, and she then tried to slip it into our paperwork while calling us liars. At least ** looked embarrassed and tried to get her to make a deal with us, but she basically told us that the policy stood, whether we had had it explained to us at the time of purchase or not, and to take it or leave it. She was so rude that we ended up leaving without our new mattress. This was a scam and we are so disgusted that we want everyone to know about their shoddy consumer practices, and their callousness in dealing with us.
PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA -- Re: A purchase from hell: Raymour & Flanigan, Franklin Mills Store. On Sept. 7, 2008 I purchased a Shelburne king size bedroom set from your Franklin Mills store. When the bedroom set was delivered, I did not see a screw point on the headboard sticking up through the top which held the lamp underneath the headboard on. When my husband came home from work that day he noticed it immediately and called the store. The customer service told him because I accepted the delivery I can't return it.
I had to give up a one time return policy to have them give me an undamaged headboard. This was a manufacturer defect per one of your techs, I found out later. When I purchased the set I told ** that I wanted this set and the chest. I never received the chest.
** told me he did not add that to the order and I would have to come to purchase that and would have to pay another $75 delivery charge. When I came in he apologized and told me he will give me the discount of $75 to make up for the mistake. I thanked him and went on my way. That weekend we set the bed up. We discovered the base is incorrect. The drawers should be at the bottom and the empty panel at the headboard per the R&F website image.
The footboard also does not line up with the pre-drilled holes that the manufacture had made. The one I have now has the drawers at the headboard leaving me unable to access the two drawers. I called the store to speak with **. He told me to just move the nightstand when I need to access them. I told him the nightstand was heavy and hard to move.
He told me to leave enough room between the two so I can access it. According to the direction there is a right and left base. I had to wait 3 wk. for a tech to come out and agree it was the wrong side and I showed him the directions, he drew a diagram and I signed it. I got a call saying the drawer base will be delivered. I took the day off and when it was delivered the person said it's the same one that I have now. I paid over $3600.00 for this set it was not a floor model nor an outlet item.
Finally they said they will special order the base. They finally ordered the correct base. On 12/15 I got a call and was told the base was in. On 12/20 I was told the base was badly damaged and there will not be a delivery today. I could have cried. Till this day 12/26/2008 I have not received the correct drawer base.
When I received my bill that I financed through Wells Fargo and it had finance charges on it of $75. I called and spoke to Cust. Service and they told me that because the items were made on different days I was not eligible for the 2012 no interest charge. It should have been made on one day but ** never placed the order correctly. On 12/20 I received my bill again and the finance is still there.
I called them again and was told the manager is now gone to redo the bill and charge me reg. price for the bedroom set. I told the women I didn't receive a sale price. She told me I will be charged for the special order base charge and the full cost of the chest with two delivery charges which would come to $4119.00 then, I can have no financing till 2012. She said "because see SWEETIE you can't have them both". I can't believe how I have been treated. My husband wants the set out of the house because of the way he was treated. I was not rude with them. I love this set.
After talking to them on 12/20 I agree with my husband, I would also like the bedroom set taken out. I have always brought from R&F. They are a decent business and won't close their doors tomorrow morning. I could have received this experience from La Donne furniture. My mother always brought her furniture from Mealy's. I will also from this from point on. I am in need of a living room set, a child's bedroom set, and a king size mattress. I am sorry to say R&F will not receive my business. I would like the furniture to be picked up. I will no longer deal with the store.
WEST HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT -- My husband and I have ordered a large amount of furniture from here recently. We ordered a leather sofa, loveseat, chair, ottoman, 6 seat dining table, office desk, hutch, two book shelves, and hall tree. These orders were spread out between two different times in about a 2-3 month time span. First off their 3 day delivery is false advertising. I think maybe the living room furniture was the only thing that came in 3 days. Then the arm to the couch had a huge chunk of stuffing missing in it when it was delivered. We called to have it replaced. A guy came out to see it and said a whole new couch would come and someone would call me.
No one called me for 2-3 weeks and then delivered it when it was convenient for them. Then, the dining table came broken as well. The delivery people just took it back on the truck with them. So I called and they said a new one would be at my home on that Thursday. Thursday came, no table and no call. So I call them again and they said that it would be there over another week, the next Friday. That 3 day guarantee sure is great.
After a bunch of hassle we finally got our table. Now, when we ordered the hall tree which was another $600 we were told it ships later because it's a special item. We were told that the date it would be delivered to our home was January 4th. We ordered it early November by the way. January 4th came and went to call to hall tree once again. We called and talked to the store manager, **, 4 different occasions for the table and now this. He has always been rude and never tried to solve the problem. All he has ever said was when the tree will get here "next time". Oh... he did offer us a $100 gift card that couldn't be used towards our order.
It could only be used towards a new purchase where we spend more money on their furniture. Like that would ever happen. So he then proceeds to tell me that it would be here Jan 24th and gave me his word he would call me personally a couple days in advance with delivery times. Well.... he never did. So the 23rd I called the Sales Manager, **, who is the one who sold us the furniture in the first place. He seemed very nice and I thought he would be more accommodating. I called him and he said this was the first he had heard of any of this and was very disturbed by it.
He assured me he would call the manufacturer the next day and call me immediately to let me know what was going on. I was a little relieved after getting off the phone with him till the next day when I never received a call. It is now the 25th and I call **, the store manager again.
He doesn't apologize or anything than say it was supposed to be here and he'll have to call to see when it will "really" get here again for the third time. I am almost 100% positive I will not hear from him until I have to call again and I still do not know when and if I will ever get my hall tree. What's better is he says I have to deal with it because I cannot cancel my order for this item. Another great thing about their company other than the delivery times and staff is that every single time the delivery guys came they tracked mud and dirt all over my carpet.
After the first time they did this I let it go. The next time they came to redeliver the couch I put 3 very large paint tarps on the carpet. I asked them politely to step on those and they said sure. Lo and behold they stepped on the tarps as well as the carpet too. I am sick of Raymour and Flanigan and will NEVER buy furniture from them again.
NEWINGTON, CONNECTICUT -- I was warned, but I did not heed and now I regret it! The problems started as soon as we walked in the door and the sales lady wanted to show us everything (as long as it was top of the line). Had to search the store ourselves to find something in our budget. When we decided what we were going to buy she asked us 3 times if we wanted to take the cleaning warranty for $300, after we said NO 3 times. Then we brought up we saw an offer for no interest for 2 years and she said there was no such thing. Until of course we pulled out the newspaper ad with that day's date on it with the offer. "Oh", was her answer and then she asked if we wanted the $300 cleaning warranty again!
We ordered a dining room set along with an entertainment unit that included 2 bookends, a light bar and a console. We said we would only buy it if we could get it in a week (mind you they guarantee delivery of 3 days). She promised we would have it in 3 days (Tues), the absolute latest on Friday.
The call came in on Mon that they would deliver only the console on Tues and the rest may come in on Friday. I asked them to hold delivery of the one item so that all items could be delivered together. OK. The manager of the Newington store then called the same day to ask us please to take delivery of the one item because he doesn't get paid unless delivery is made. Offered to waive the delivery fee. I told him no. He offered to hunt down the bookends and dining table. Called the next day and alas has found the bookends, light bar and dining table but that they released the console to someone else. I still don't understand.
Anyway because I wanted him to stop calling me and was afraid if I held delivery again that they would release the other stuff I took it. Delivery came on Fri 8/19 between the hours of 9-3. Asked for the hour ahead call time so I could leave work. Called 20 min before. Delivered entertainment unit without console and dining table that had 7 wobbly chairs, 1 damaged end chair and table that they left without putting together. Asked the delivery guys about the chairs and they told me to put felt on the bottom. Said they don't put together furniture.
I then called the store manager and they should have indeed put together the table and that they would have to send a service technician to look at the chairs. I looked myself and the chairs were wobbly because the legs did not all have the circle wooden tabs, only 2 on each chair did - hence the wobbling. They set up the technician coming out on a separate day that they could deliver the console and put the table together.
Came on 8/25 (called 20 min before instead of the agreed upon 1 hr before) to put the table together - guess what? Table had a chip. Was informed that they would send a technician out to repair! I told him that it was unacceptable, that I wanted a brand new table, not a brand new table that would be repaired. So it's now 2 weeks later and I have damaged furniture in my brand new house still without a resolution. NEVER AGAIN, BUYER BEWARE!
135 EAST 125TH ST MANHATTAN, NEW YORK -- Raymour and Flanigan misinformed me about my delivery date. Then, they brought part of my living room furniture and the wrong size frame for my bed. After setting a new delivery date with them, they showed me the amount of customers that ordered the same piece of furniture and expects me to be sympathetic to those customers and forget that I'm a customer also. They took it upon themselves to deliver the supposed correct bed frame to my door on a date that I did not schedule with them and parked it in front my closet door.
Every day I have to drag this huge box to get into my closet. Presently I am still awaiting part of my living room. The excuses for my complete delivery has been going on for close to one month. I am a disgusted and disappointed customer and would not shop at this store ever again.
LIVERPOOL, NEW YORK -- Placed an order for a sofa and loveseat on 4/16/15. Next day received a call from Raymour & Flanigan Customer Services that the items was out of stock, will be shipped on 5/4/15. On 5/4, no call. Called Customer Services to inquire about my purchase, was told item and loveseat were still on back order, will be in stock on 5/11/15. On 5/11/15, receive a call from customer services that the sofa & loveseat was in stock and will be delivered on 5/19/15.
Today (5/15/15) I received a call, was told my items were out of stock, will be in stock by the end of June. How can this be out of stock when I was told both sofa and loveseat were scheduled to be delivered on Tuesday 5/19? Sounds like Raymour & Flanigan gave my items to someone else more worthy than I. There is a saying, at least once in your life you will experience the worst customer service you can ever imagine, well my experience with this purchase was definitely was my worst. After this experience, I will NEVER, EVER shop Raymour & Flanigan.
PHILLIPSBURG, NEW JERSEY -- We recently purchased a living room set - Sofa, 2 Chairs and an accent table - from Raymour and Flanigan. I have to say, the sales consultant was pretty helpful. The only complaint with him was he kept stopping to try to take care of other potential customers as he was showing us furniture. It wasn't like we were taking up a lot of time, so it was kind of insulting and annoying.
Anyway, once we made a selection, we were passed off to a manager to complete the sale. The store had all kinds of signs stating 12 months no interest. It really didn't matter to us, because we planned to pay cash or with our credit card. The manager said we could finance the furniture and wouldn't need to pay any interest if we paid it off right away. OK, no problem, we gave him enough information to do this and were on our way.
About 4 days later, we received a Raymour and Flanigan credit card in the mail. We were not informed we were signing up for a credit card and were pretty pissed. We have very few credit cards and are very careful with credit. We did not want a new credit card. I immediately cancelled it, but this sort of trickery will not be rewarded by shopping there again.
HALFMOON, NEW YORK -- Customers Beware!!! The product starts to fall apart within 12 months of purchase. A technician visited our home 4 times to try to repair the piece for different structural problems. When we finally decided to replace the product we discovered that the sales representative had lied to us at the time of purchase deceitfully charging us an extra $259.95 which he hid in the bill. At the time, I asked for an itemized bill but he said there was no need, we were not being charged for the Platinum Protection Plan, it was being offered free of charge as a special promotion.
DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY. ALWAYS INSIST ON AN ITEMIZED BILL. THIS COMPANY LIES TO ITS CUSTOMERS. When discussing this issue with the regional vice-president of sales his comment was "The salesman did not lie to you, he was simply enhancing your buying experience, allowing you to purchase the product without the need to worry about any additional expenses." Bottom line, that sales representative stole $259.95 from me and his action has been condoned and supported at all managerial levels. This company and its managers are not to be trusted with their twisted sense of morality.

Investigating the natural world has always defined my character. Over the years, I grew to love any activities that brought me outdoors and into the woods. I learned to appreciate the environment and the creatures that live within it.
When I started my career as a middle school Life Science teacher some 18 years ago, I purchased my first "real" camera. I learned what I could from basic photography courses and photography books, and began my quest to capture the powerful imagery which Nature bestows.
My creative purpose is to effectively merge the worlds of Natural Science and Art, but in the absence of natural elements, I am impelled to be resourceful, creating interesting images using commonplace objects and playthings.
I reside in Congers, NY with my husband and two children. I credit my active membership in the Rockland Photography Club for the education, motivation and inspiration that has nurtured my growth as an artist.
The BeanRunner Cafe is a partner in Art with the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art (HVCCA)

One of the homeowner's favorite pieces is the buffet in the dining room.

The Moberg family likes to mix things up whenever they move. Their latest nest, perched overlooking the river in Titusville, is a study in classy coastal style with nary a piece of rattan in sight.
The Mobergs are always on the move, so keeping things neat and classy is a must. The couple and their three children have picked up stakes three times in the last four years, and even though they have just settled into their fourth-floor, 2,7000-square-foot condo on the Indian River at Harbor Pointe, the family is already forging ahead with a new home for next year.
Weve moved 17 times in 23 years, so weve gotten it down to a science, says Sharon Moberg. We dont like to do anything twice, so we always look for something new. When weve sold our last two homes, we sold them with everything. That way, the person who buys them knows they are getting exactly what they saw in the first showing.
When their current condo goes up for sale, prospective buyers will be assured that everything they see is everything they get, down to the bedspreads and towels, if the buyers so desires.
To outfit their ongoing series of homes, the Mobergs depend on Donnetta Malone of Accents Home Décor and Fine Furniture in Cocoa. The family gives Malone a general idea of what they want and then lets her loose.
She even gets us the towels, the sheets and the dishes, says Moberg. We just bring the personal photos, our clothes and our toiletries.
Moving frequently nixes design boredom. With their 5,000 square-foot-home home in Titusvilles Hidden Oaks, where the family lived for 18 months, the look was traditional. The family then settled into a north Brevard riverview residence for the next 17 months. The 1,900-foot-home was less than half of the size of the Mobergs previous place, but since they started with a fresh slate, designing around cherished pieces was not an issue, so the smaller space presented no problems. To outfit that house, the Mobergs opted for the tried and true.
The design there was Tommy Bahama, with leather and rattan, says Moberg. We decorate the houses we live in to try and reflect the outside and we felt the Tommy Bahama look was perfect for that home.
From there, the move was to the current condo, where no Tommy Bahama chair need apply.
We thought the look here needed to be simple, says Moberg. When this home goes up for sale, we wanted anyone who comes in to look at to think that they cant leave and not make an offer.
The Mobergs new place reflects an upscale Florida look, an atmosphere of spas and beaches and blue skies. The palette throughout the condominium focused on sands and taupes and turquoises, with a surprising dash of tangerine in the teens room.
The Tangerine Room emerged from a turtle painting the Mobergs oldest daughter considered a must-have. Malone painted the bedrooms back wall an eye riveting tangerine and accented the space with heavy loop pillows that shimmer. A retro-style blue/green chair is comfy yet grown-up enough to suit the thirteen-year-old. Malone nailed the look the young woman wanted.
She didnt want it to look like a little kids room, says Malone.
The textured rug, set at an angle, echoes the blues, green and tangerines of the other furnishings.
Rugs bring a flat surface to life and cut down on noise, which is important if you have children in the house, says Malone.
Textured rugs are also part of the design picture in most of the Moberg residence. In the master bedroom, for example, the blue and chocolate textured rug is angled at 45 degrees off the corners of the bed and pair well with the chocolate leather recliner that is highlighted by blue ceramic flowers on the wall. Contemporary abstracts rule over the cream-and-driftwood bedroom ensemble.
The artworks have the feeling of sun, sky and sand without really being anything specific, explains Malone.
A pair of ceramic lamps by Uttermost are crisp as an early morning dip in the ocean.
In the main living area, Malone outfitted the space with a spa blue theater-style sectional with kid-friendly fabric.
Its a new style of cotton blend that cleans with terry cloth and mild soap, she says.
Giving it subtle but definite pop are the contrasting pillows that mimic the fabric of the nearby recliner. On the wall, a pair of cut glass and stainless steel sea turtles serve to further define the coastal ambiance.
The star of the dining room is the buffet, Malones favorite piece and one that contrasts intensively with the driftwood dining table and linen fabric chairs the Mobergs selected. Three blue cut glass bottles partly filled with sand.
The dinette area is also a study in contrasts, thanks to the accented tray ceiling that crowns aquamarine blue chairs flanking the tables crisp, clean lines. A cascade of real leaves, preserved forever by Uttermost, is striking, inexpensive and in keeping with the goal of the design.
Donnetta Malone has her work cut out as the Mobergs begin planning for the next chapter in their book of homeownership. The next project entails a 7,000-square-foot French County home the family hopes to have finished by February of next year.
Id like it to be a mini-Biltmore, says Moberg. As soon as it is done, this one goes up for sale.
For all you pack rats out there, consider the benefits of a no-ties lifestyle such as the Mobergs, who think moving isnt a hassle, but rather an opportunity to experience something new.
Its very liberating, says Sharon Moberg.

Ocean Spray Prepares for the 2013 North American Cranberry Harvest Cooperative expects global industry will harvest between 11.1-11.5 million barrels Business Wire LAKEVILLE-MIDDLEBORO, Mass. -- September 23, 2013 Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc., a grower-owned cooperative, today announced its latest estimate for the 2013 cranberry crop, with the harvest just underway. Providing conditions stay as expected, Ocean Spray believes the global industry crop will range between 11.1 and 11.5 million barrels, coming in close to the 2012 global industry crop of 11.2 million barrels. Approximately 80 percent of the cranberries harvested will be consumed in North America with the remaining 20 percent shipped overseas. The cooperative is focused on international expansion and aggressively marketing cranberries abroad. Cranberries are featured in more than 1,000 products in over 50 countries worldwide. "As a cooperative, our mission is to market the fruit of our grower-owners. To do that, Ocean Spray is focused on increasing demand for our great-tasting, good-for-you cranberry products through bold market expansion, development of new distribution channels and product innovation," said Randy Papadellis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ocean Spray. "These efforts benefit not only Ocean Spray's grower-owners but the entire cranberry industry." The power of the cranberry centers on its well-documented urinary tract health benefits and emerging heart health properties. Just over 200,000 barrels of Ocean Spray's 2013 harvest will be sold as fresh cranberries, available now through the end of the year, while the remaining fruit will become juice beverages, dried cranberries, cranberry sauce and other cranberry products. Ocean Spray grower-owners are located throughout all cranberry growing regions including Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin, as well as British Columbia and Eastern Canada. This June, Ocean Spray also celebrated its first springtime harvest in Chile. "Harvesting cranberries is the culmination of an entire year's worth of work," said fourth-generation Ocean Spray grower Gary Garretson, CEO of southeastern Massachusetts based Slocum-Gibbs Cranberry Co. "The crop looks good and we're excited to be underway with our harvest and bringing in the fruit that will become Ocean Spray® products." The North American harvest begins in mid-September and will run through mid-November finishing just in time for Thanksgiving. Of the 400 million pounds (4 million barrels) of cranberries Americans consume annually, 20 percent – or 80 million pounds – will be consumed Thanksgiving week. Ocean Spray is aggressively marketing cranberries and finding unique ways to bring the beauty of the harvest to those who live far away from the iconic bogs. In late September, Ocean Spray kicks off the harvest with its annual Bogs Across America tour, where the cooperative will bring lifelike cranberry bogs, complete with fresh, floating cranberries to New York; Orlando, Fla.; and, for the first time, Washington, D.C. Cranberry farmers will be "in the bog" to educate consumers about the taste, health and heritage of America's native berry. Globally, Ocean Spray is introducing cranberries to new consumers and expanding into new markets. In Russia and China, the cooperative is holding sampling events and cooking demonstrations incorporating dried cranberries in everyday local recipes. Ocean Spray continues its growth in Latin America with launches in Chile, Columbia and Peru. Ocean Spray growers will also be going to Europe to educate consumers on this uniquely American fruit. Online, www.oceanspray.com will feature Ocean Spray's virtual harvest as well as fall recipes. Consumers can also learn more about cranberry's unique health benefits at www.cranberryhealth.com. About Ocean Spray Ocean Spray is a vibrant agricultural cooperative owned by more than 700 cranberry and grapefruit growers in the United States, Canada, and Chile who have helped preserve the family farming way of life for generations. Formed in 1930, Ocean Spray is now the world's leading producer of cranberry juices, juice drinks and dried cranberries, and is the best-selling brand in the bottled juice category. The cooperative's cranberries are currently featured in more than 1,000 great-tasting, good-for-you products in over 50 countries worldwide. With more than 2,000 employees and nearly 20 cranberry receiving and processing facilities, Ocean Spray is committed to managing our business in a way that respects our communities, employees and the environment. In fiscal year 2012, Ocean Spray posted record-high gross sales of $2.2 billion and net proceeds of $338 million.

In the wake of the tsunami that devastated South Asia and East Africa in December 2004, Bay Ridge bands gathered together for a benefit at Peggy O'Neill's to raise money for UNICEF. After Hurricane Katrina, the community united to raise money for New Orleans.
Now, in support of the men and women in the armed forces, Bay Ridge bands will come together once again for a good cause.
On May 3, the Rocking For Our Troops benefit, supported by the Brooklyn Young Republican Club and held at Peggy O'Neill's in Coney Island, will feature local bands, such as Hell or High Water and The Dirty Stayouts, in a benefit to support our troops abroad.
Last year, Brooklyn native and Bay Ridge native Tony Ieva, who at the time had a nephew serving in Iraq in the Marines and has multiple war veterans in his family, including his late brother and father, started the benefit as a way to give back to the troops.
"I would hear so many people say they supported our troops but, I didn't see anything but protest marches, and demonstrations on TV, so I decided something positive needed to be done," says Ieva, who, a mainstay in the Bay Ridge music community, is a drummer in the bands Hell or High Water and Our Back Pages.
That inaugural event raised over $3,000 for the Wounded Warrior Project, which raises public awareness and enlists the public's aid for the needs of the severely injured service men and women.
This year, money goes to the USO of Metropolitan New York, a nonprofit organization which sends entertainment to our troops abroad, and kicking off the event will be The Liberty Bells, the USO's own female act, a nostalgic 1940's troupe reminiscent of the Andrews Sisters.
Bands returning to the Rocking For Troops benefit from last year's include Hell or High Water, The Dirty Stayouts, Prodigal Child, Head Over The Hill, and John Lepore & The Silver Falcons, new to the event this year are Our Back Pages and The Windsor Terrors for an all-Brooklyn event.
"Here in Bay Ridge, it's a very tight community of musicians. We all know each other, all support each other," says Ieva, who, in addition to being found drumming in the Bay Ridge music scene, can also be found on the B1 bus as the driver ("If you see driver banging on the stealing wheel, that's me").
Kicking off the lineup will be The Windsor Terrors at 2 p.m., a classic rock outfit that specializes in music from the British invasion era, followed by Hell Or High Water at 3 p.m., a Grateful Dead and classic rock-prone band that recently celebrated their 18th year rocking out together.
Continuing the classic rock vibe is The Dirty Stayouts at 4 p.m. and then, at 5 p.m., Prodigal Child, led by Mike Riddle belting out blues and rock classics while laying it down on the guitar. Then there's southern rock with Head Over the Hill at 6 p.m. followed by Our Back Pages at 7 p.m. New to the Bay Ridge music scene, the band will be playing '60's classics and the tunes inspired by them from the '70's and '80's.
Closing out the night will be John Lepore and The Silver Falcons doing 60's classics, including a lot of Byrds, as well as their own original music.
Like last year, the shindig will be held at Peggy O'Neill's in Coney Island.
"Hosting this benefit is the least we can do to support and thank those who have made so many sacrifices defending our freedom," says John Imbriale, owner of Peggy O'Neill's.
After a successful first benefit, and the second one gearing up, Bay Ridge can expect to be rocking out for the troops next year as well.
"People get to see all these great bands at the same time," says Ieva. "I hope it gets bigger and better every year."
The Rocking For Our Troops benefit will be held on May 3 at Peggy O'Neill's (1904 Surf Avenue) from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. Admission is $15 in advance by calling Tony Ieva at 347-668-4122, $20 the day of the event and free for active duty military personnel.

I like the results this brush gives me when applying liquid foundation but it sheds way too much. I won't be repurchasing this brush because of reason and will be looking for a new flat top brush to replace it with.

This brush has made me fall in love with liquid foundations/bb creams. Everything just goes on so well with this brush and looks so awesome on my skin!
I decided to try stippling after just using my fingers to blend liquid stuff on my face because it was just so messy and difficult to get even coverage. I was deciding between this brush and the ELF stipple brush initially and decided to go with the ELF one as it was much cheaper and I wasn't sure if stippling would be my thing. The ELF one made stippling rather difficult (read my review of it for more details) and I got the F80 after deciding to take the plunge with stippling and the F80 has just made my makeup routine a million times easier. I haven't tried this brush with any other mode of application.
I loove that this brush is so dense but still so soft. I pump out some bb cream on my finger, put it in a streak across one cheek, then use this in a stippling motion to spread the bb cream all over my cheek. It never scratches against my skin and spreads the cream out so evenly you can't even see where the cream starts and ends. You also need less product because of how evenly you can spread the product across your face. The brush also does not absorb much product. It takes me about 20-30 seconds (no kidding) to stipple the cream across one cheek for a really airbrushed look. There's never any issue with patchiness or blotchiness or basically any issue with coverage.
My only two gripes with this brush are:
First, it takes REALLY long to dry when you wash it because its so dense. But I think its well worth the coverage it offers. just plan ahead so you don't end up with it being still wet when you want to use it.
Also, the brush head is rather big so I have a bit of a problem getting into some areas of my face like between my nose and cheek. Again, I can live with this because the larger size means you can cover more of your face more quickly so your whole makeup routine takes less time which means more time in bed in the mornings!
If anyone else is deciding between the ELF stipple brush and this, I'd say get the ELF one for a starter brush if you're new to stippling or for travelling but get the Sigma F80 if you're sure you're going to be using liquid stuff on your face or you're already a stipple pro.

HG foundation brush, really excellent for applying liquid foundation. Buffs everything in smoothly without any streaking or lines. It's great for creating natural coverage. Does not shed - I've had mine for more than a year and I don't think a single bristle has dropped, even with frequent washing. I use brush cleaning spray to clean it after every use and deep cleanse once a week.
The only caveat is that this brush isn't so good for applying powder foundations. I find that it creates a lot of wastage. My powder foundations seem to go very fast when I use this brush. Perhaps it's because it sheers out the coverage and I always feel that I need to apply more to create my desired look. Hence, I would prefer to use a smaller brush for powder foundations.
Also, due to the density of the bristles. the brush takes a long time to dry. I use it with the Sigma Dry N Shape (this is a brush holder for expediting drying after washing) and it still takes about 12 hours to dry completely.
This is an awesome brush with a low price (US$18) and I highly recommend it to those who regularly work with liquid foundation. For powder foundation, you might wanna try RT's Expert Face Brush which is also really good.

I bought this brush after read tons of positive reviews about this brush.
This brush is so so dense but really soft. It is so lovely. I also love the finish that it gave me. Flawless and natural.
Unfortunately enough, this brush feels so big on my face, I found it quite difficult to really blend the foundation. And because of that, sometimes it gave me a cakey look.
I probably should use the F82 since it's smaller. But for now, I stick with my Chanel Foundation Brush no 6.

I love my beauty blender but I was super curious about this brush. I frickin love it!! It's dense yet soft enough to blend any foundation or powder across your skin without hurting yourself. I prefer this over the real techniques buffing brush and the elf studio powder brush for applying liquid foundations. I use this with my revlon colorstay and it gives me an airbrush, flawless finish! With this brush, i find that i tend to use less foundation as well. Definitely would repurchase!

One of my favorite foundation brushes that applies flawlessly. Buffs perfectly onto my skin and absorbs all of the makeup onto the brush. There is not any left over or wasted makeup after applying. In other brushes ive used the makeup gets stuck in the bristles and creates a huge mess which also reflects in my makeup application. No complaints here! I'm a happy gal when using my synthetic flat top kabuki
Age: 19-24
Skin: Normal, Fair-Medium, Cool

THE best foundation brush of all time! I cannot believe how long it took me to find this! Evens out foundation perfectly, and you wont be wasting product. It buffs out makeup perfectly and doesn't leave any streaks. The quality is perfect. Hairs don't fall out. I've washed it a million times and still haven't noticed any shedding. There's a great YouTube video review on this brush compared to other foundation applicators. After watching it I was immediately SOLD.....And I GUARANTEE you will be too. Skip to 4:30 and watch until the end where she does a demonstration on a mirror.

My favorite foundation brush, it blends out your foundation perfectly. It is perfect for cream/whipped foundations it is one if not the best foundation brushes I've ever had. It does take sometime to dry and it a brush guard will help it keep its shape. It is great quality, relatively inexpensive. I'd probably pay more for it!
Age: 25-29
Skin: Dry, Fair-Medium, Not Sure

This brush is very soft. I use it mainly to apply my MAC foundation. It is so easy to apply, and leaves a flawless finish. I bought the 5-brush synthetic set, and this is the only one that I really use on a daily basis. Would definitely buy again.

After the bad news on gay marriage out of the Supreme Court this week, here's some good news for conservatives: Demographics are on our side!
As M. Stanton Evans has recently pointed out, "Believers in religious doctrine, the traditional family and pro-life attitudes on abortion are systematically outperforming their secular-liberal opponents in the demographic sweepstakes -- having appreciably more children per couple -- resulting in a fertility gap that works against the liberals."
Republican states, such as Utah and Kentucky, have been steadily gaining population, while liberal states, such as New York and Vermont, are consistent demographic losers. It should not come as a surprise, though it always does, that people opposed to abortion are out-populating those who consider abortion a right.
Jewish publications have repeatedly observed that the declining fertility rate among all American Jews except the Orthodox -- the group that votes 86 percent Republican -- means that, in another generation or two, Jews could be majority Republican. (What a wonderful world it would be if Marco Rubio had half of Chuck Schumer's IQ!)
But liberals always have a workaround. For decades, their solution to the left's demographic collapse has been immigration. Idiot Republicans being buffaloed into supporting Rubio's amnesty bill are not merely throwing Democrats a lifeline -- they're allowing Democrats to flip an imminent conservative victory into a permanent liberal majority.
With native-born liberals unwilling to reproduce themselves, liberals need a constant influx of new Democratic voters from other countries -- and there happen to be 11 million of them living here right now! Contrary to Rubio-Republicans who think "they all look alike," the vast majority of Hispanics are not "social conservatives." (That's blacks, Marco.)

Update: Rookie Dallas officer resigns after arrest for DWI suspicion in Highland Park
Update at 4:47 p.m. on Dec. 3, by staff writer Tristan Hallman: Rodarte has resigned under investigation, police said.
His resignation makes him ineligible for rehire.
Rodarte joined the department in April 2013.
Update at 4:43 p.m. on Dec. 1: A Dallas police officer was found slumped over in his car in the center lane of Mockingbird Lane before he was arrested early Sunday in Highland Park, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
Aaron Rodarte, 25, of Irving, was charged with driving while intoxicated and evading arrest. He was released from jail after posting a $500 bond and was put on administrative leave from his job with the Dallas Police Department.
Highland Park police say they found Rodarte's BMW running but at a stop in the middle of the road near Roland Avenue at 3:18 a.m., according to the affidavit. Officers banged on the windows until Rodarte woke up. They said Rodarte was given a sobriety test and then tried to run. He was apprehended and arrested.
Rodarte was taken to Dallas County jail. His breath sample tested 0.11 in blood alcohol content, which is over the legal limit of 0.08.
Original post at 11:15 a.m. on Nov. 30: A Dallas police officer was arrested Sunday morning in Highland Park on charges of driving while intoxicated and evading arrest.
Officer Aaron Rodarte has been placed on administrative leave, according to a Dallas Police Department news release. The police department will conduct an internal investigation.

Did you know that more than 900 students in our schools are homeless? Heartland Credit Union is matching donations for the next 6-7 weeks that will directly benefit these students.
The Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) Transition Education Program (TEP) strives to raise awareness of this growing problem as well as provide homeless students with transportation, school supplies, breakfast and more. So far this school year, TEP has identified 964 homeless students, an increase of 30% over last year at this time.
This year, the Heartland Credit Union selected TEP as the recipient of their holiday giving project "Give Local," launching a combined campaign. Each holiday season for the past several years, they have chosen an organization to benefit with the goal of raising awareness as well as money. This year they've invited other area credit unions to join them to increase impact and grant funding.
In this story, learn how you can help kids like De'Jerah, a local seventh grader, who's meeting life's challenges head on with the help of school, family and friends.
The campaign will run for 6-7 weeks starting on December 11. Donate now
Heartland Credit Union began the campaign funding with a base of $5,000 and have since raised that amount to $11,100 by rallying other credit unions* in the area. The credit unions will match additional donations dollar for dollar with funds going to support TEP.
TEP plans to use some of the funds as seed money to create a "Getting Ready for School" shower and transportation pick up site, where unsheltered students and their families could go to get ready for school in the morning. Some of the funds will be used for items that cannot be accessed through other means and yet are critical for student engagement. Examples might be class pictures, haircuts, yearbooks or school book sales. It could also be used for other immediate needs, such as snow pants, boots and winter jackets.
*Heartland Credit Union is working in partnership with the following credit unions to make this possible:

City center hotel
They have available leisure suites at around C$200 per night in high season (plus taxes of around $35.00) which are ideal for people traveling with children although the main bedroom is very restricted due to the fact that the bed takes up much of the room. An acceptable hotel especially if you have a room with a view on floors 11 upwards but in many ways looks somewhat run down especially in the corridors which are very narrow and claustrophobic. The entrance to the hotel and Lobby area makes it certainly look like a 4 diamond hotel, but if looked at from more of a distance on the side, it looks very much like a typical 50's style building.
The restaurant on floor 18 is very pleasant and has some very good views of Victoria and of the shorelines of Washington State but food and drinks here are fairly pricy.
Probably worth considering for a stay of no more than a couple of days and don't want to walk more than a couple of hundred meters to the harbour area. If you are able to stretch to around C$350 plus tax in the high season for a 250 sq ft room, then maybe the very central Fairmont Empress Hotel is a better bet.
Directions: Heading into victoria from the Ferry or airport, follow Hwy 17 which changes into Blanchard St. Near the center of the city on take a right into Burdett Road
Nice suites, great location
I have used this hotel several times and almost always been very satisfied. Floors 2 to 4 are all standard rooms, which are fine for business travel, but what I really enjoyed was the one-bedroom suites on the higher floors. They have balconies, spacious living room and well-stocked kitchenette, including a fridgeand TVs in both rooms. All the rooms have been clean and comfortable with nice bathrooms, the usual tv/coffee/internet access. Parking is included.
The only time I didn't enjoy my room was when I was put on the second floor next to the pool and gym. The music from the gym was too loud and the place smelled of chlorine, so I wouldn't accept a room on the second floor again.
The staff are very friendly and helpful. I have eaten room service a couple of times and been happy with the service and quality. I have only eaten at the restaurant Vista 18 on the 18th floor (nice view!) for breakfast but it was very good and I hear good things about the tapas in the evening. I also had munchies in the lounge on the main level and that was good too.
Unique Quality: The beds are really comfortable in this hotel, in all the rooms. Nice pool and hot tub. Great central location.
Directions: Behind the Empress, close to the waterfront

Is she broke or something? Why is she in public and trying to be relevant again? Can we pay her to go away?
Her vaginal grip can crush a car.
Fuck it.
I wonder what grit she uses on her face? That sure is smooth.
Double aught emery cloth.
Must be related to Mickey Rooney. I see the resemblance.
Smart lady! She's hiding her arms and hands!
Madge finally realized that no one wants to buy a fragrance that's make them smell like a wizened crone with lacquered talons.
Finally our pleads have been heeded… Arms and penis are tucked…
Even she doesn't want to be seen holding MDNA
Her face is becoming more and more frozen & mask-like.
Thank U for hiding the hands; they are scary.
At her age, not wearing pants is more of an oversight than a fashion statement.
What is the best way to clean vomit off the keyboard?
Those have been some busy legs over the years.
… because who doesn't want to smell like Madonna? Except, you know… everybody.
That's not a lace skirt, those are just the bats that flew from her vagina and got caught in the fabric.
Shouldn't there be a lesbian hiding down under her dress in this picture?
Thank God for that piece of fabric right over the crotch.
Right… I forgot that Kevlar was a fabric. Thanks!
Dress as see-thru as her soul.
She actually doesn't look bad when you can't see her old hands…
I was thinking that too. Then I saw her feet . :(
Aaaaaaaand then I hit "View Full Size"…. no me gusta
is it too late to have that madonna vs courtney steel cage match?

Coverage was very minimal with this and it did dry my skin out. About 2 hours after setting my face with this powder, I looked in the mirror and it looked like all the moisture in my skin was sucked out and every line in my face was enhanced. This is not a good powder and I couldn't make it work.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other

I've been using this off and on for a year or so now. I usually use my powder brush to apply or else it can look really cakey. It covers nicely but can be a bit drying. I notice sometimes at the end of the day it can look shiny and really cakey. it's not too bad with coverage but the price isn't really worth getting all the time.

I recieved a coupon from my dermatologist to try this powder. So I went to the store thinking it would help WRONG! This product doesn't help anything it covers for a bit then an hour later bam everything visible. I have sensitive & oily skin and harsh acne and the powder makes my face itchy. If you're like me I wouldn't recommend it too expensive and not worth it.

Love this powder! Buildable coverage and doesn't make me break out. It does dramatize dry skin spots but that can be easily fixed with moisturizer.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I have break-out prone skin & always have (since I was about 10, lucky me.) I have to be very carefully about the products I put on my face, and have found that less is always better. I do not wear foundation (see my review of Revlon's anit-blemish concealer for my approach to "foundation."). I love to play up my eyes, cover a few spots, add blush & move on. I use this product with a very large brush to simply put a light dusting of the product all over my face when I am completely done with my make-up in the morning. It sets my concealer perfectly, and, for at least a few hours (unless I am crazy-busy) holds down the shine. I don't reapply during the day. (Unless I can completely cleanse my face & start over, I do not reapply makeup during the day because that just breaks me out.) This powder is one of the few that doesn't seem to aggrivate my skin, and it has skin-clearing ingredients. I doubt that it makes my skin "better" in any sense, but I can tell you, it doesn't make it worse. And that's a huge advantage over some many others I've tried.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Hazel
This didn't really provide a lot of coverage, which I like because I just like to use my powder foundation lightly I'm not into wearing a whole bunch of makeup on my face. It didn't make me break out like a lot of things do but it also didn't help with any breakouts. I would buy it again just because it gives the right amount of coverage I want and doesn't irritate my skin.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Green
I used this for a while to keep my make-up from getting oily and to stop my face from shinning throughout the day and I think it does a a pretty good job at that but I do have to say I would like to go out and try to find one that does better and is cheaper.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Acne-prone, Dark, Warm
Hair: Brown, Relaxed, Medium
Eyes: Hazel
This was my very first powder, and I used it by itself and it didn't really do much. Now I look back and realize how cakey my face looked. The sponge is a complete waste and makes me look even worse. There is almost no color pay off. I'm able to wear their "darkest" shade, which is Tan, and it's not even that dark at ALL! Their never seems to be a good color range with this brand, which I hate. I mainly use this powder for setting makeup because it's so sheer. Overall, I do keep buying it but for different reasons than what it's for.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Normal, Fair, Cool
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Blue
Eeeeeekk. Not lovin this stuff. First of all, it doesnt cover anything. The applicator that it comes with is useless. Second of all, it dries out my skin. I put it on and my skin feels disgustingly dry. I guess if you have skin that is perfect and a little more on the oily side this would work for you because it can give a nice look to my skin if i just use a little tiny bit to set my foundation. I wont be repurchasing.

Suspect arrested following police standoff in deaths of 3 women
EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio East Cleveland Police Chief Ralph Spotts has publicly identified the suspect in the deaths of three women found wrapped in trash bags, and officers and volunteers have ended hours of searching without finding more bodies.
Spotts said Sunday that 35-year-old registered sex offender Michael Madison is in custody and expected to be formally charged today.
Sunday's search included scouring about 40 abandoned houses and other areas, but turned up no more bodies in the neighborhood where three were found separately on Friday and Saturday.
A medical examiner says the bodies were in advanced stages of decomposition, and it will take days to identify the women and determine how they died.
The suspect, who was arrested Friday after a police standoff, has indicated he might have been influenced by Cleveland serial killer Anthony Sowell, who was convicted in 2011 of killing 11 women and sentenced to death, Norton said.
"He said some things that led us to believe that in some way, shape, or form, Sowell might be an influence," Norton told The Associated Press.
A report of a foul odor emanating from a home led police to the discovery of the first body, found in a garage, and to the suspect. Two other bodies were found Saturday — one in a backyard and the other in the basement of a vacant house. The bodies, all female, were found about 100 to 200 yards apart, and authorities say the victims were killed in the last six to 10 days.
About three dozen volunteers, including community anti-crime activists, fanned out Sunday morning across yards, through vacant houses and along a railroad to help police search.

Packers Sign QB Seneca Wallace
- Updated: September 2, 2013
According to reports, the Green Bay Packers have signed veteran QB, Seneca Wallace. This signing comes on the heels of the Packers cutting Vince Young.
Wallace was cut by the San Francisco 49ers and coach Jim Harbaugh informed reporters that Wallace would be retiring. That won't be the case, as Wallace and his knowledge of the 49ers playbook, will be standing on the Packers sidelines when when the two teams play in their season opener.
Wallace has played in 62 NFL games, logging 21 starters. He's thrown for 4,808 yards and 31 touchdowns while yielding 18 interceptions.
To make room for Wallace, the Packers cut QB B.J. Coleman. The Packers also signed another 49er reject on Sunday, quarterback Scott Tolzien.

Wyoming Army National Guard 67th Army Band first sergeant, 1st Sgt. Diane Smith and bandmaster Chief Warrant Officer 3 John Robert Phillips pose at the Wyoming Military Department's annual Governor's Reception, Oct. 13, 2012, at Little America Resort, in Cheyenne, Wyo. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Stewart Dyer)
CHEYENNE – This year the Wyoming Military Department's Governor's Reception served as the inaugural performance for the new bandmaster of the Wyoming Army National Guard's 67th Army Band "Wyoming's Own". Chief Warrant Officer 3 John Robert Phillips directed the band in their ceremonial music, concert band and the rock band in his first performance as a member of the unit.
Phillips comes to the WyANG from the 101st Army Band, Colorado National Guard where he started his National Guard career as an instrumentalist and worked his way up the ranks to become the bandmaster. Prior to joining the Guard, Phillips served in the Marine Corps, serving as a musician from 1985 to 1989, and as a Marine Reservist from 1989 to 1991. He was an instrumentalist with the 1st Marine Division at Camp Pendleton, Calif. He also shot competitively for the Marine Corps rifle team.
In 1991, Philips left the Marine Corps Reserve, where he was serving as an air squadron operator, and joined the Colorado National Guard Army band as an instrumentalist playing the euphonium. He became the unit commander after earning his Warrant Officer rank at Fort Rucker, Ala., in 2001.
Phillips said he has high expectations for his time in Wyoming. "I feel very excited by the challenge of coming to Wyoming. The transition from the 101st Army Band to the 67th feels very natural, and I look forward to creating new commanders and a growth plan for the unit," he said.
"Army bands tell the Soldiers' story and are the perfect public affairs tool. Our business is music, I plan to advocate for the mission of Army bands in Wyoming and work hard to perform during holidays, special events and historical markers throughout the year, because Army bands fill a unique niche during these events."
The addition of Phillips to the WyANG comes as a welcome to the Soldiers of the 67th Army Band. "I am excited for the musical leadership and experience that CW3 Phillips brings to Wyoming, the Soldier-musicians of the 67th deserve the opportunity to learn and perform at new levels of musical proficiency," said 1st Sgt. Diane Smith, noncommissioned officer in charge of the band.
The current commander of the 67th, Chief Warrant Officer 3 Nathan Galloway, also expressed his welcome, "Chief Phillips is an exceptional Warrant Officer and the epitome of the professional bandmaster. He is the right man at the right time in the band and will move the unit forward in positive ways," he said.
Phillips is married with two adult children and lives in Arvada, Colo. He is a music teacher at Mitchell Elementary School, in Golden, Colo., where he teaches multiple levels of music education from first through sixth grade, as well as several after school musical groups. He is the co-director of the Jefferson County community band and is a member of the Jeffco Brass, a musical group that performs numerous concerts in the Denver metropolitan area.

There are a ton of fun pottery decorating techniques out there involving slips and underglazes. And the technique in today's video is another fine example, and one I hadn't ever seen until filming Erin Furimsky's Layered Surfaces DVD. So, I thought it would be a good one to share.
In this technique, Erin slip trails some patterns on a piece, then paints a couple of layers of different colored underglazes on top. After everything dries to bone dry, she sands and scrapes away at the layers creating an effect similar in appearance to layered paint. And it is gorgeous. Check it out! – Jennifer Harnetty, editor.

I love how she did this, but I am wondering how you get green and yellow slip? I'm just a beginner, to be honest and I know what slip is, but I have never seen this color. Is there a color additive in this? Thanks for the great video. I'd really love to try this sometime.
I too would love to see the finished cup. I was so looking forward to it and felt let down with just the tile demo.
I appreciated the detail of the finished tile, but it is a common feeling I have after these videos…I would like to see the finished piece, not just something else that is sort of similiar. I realize that not all of the pieces we see demonstrated will come out as hoped,(I know my percentage of pieces that turn out well can be pretty low at times) but it would be something to try to include when possible. Loved the idea of this technique and will try it!

Check the fuel rail to make sure that there isn't anything obstructing the lines flow. Follow the line getting pressure until you are not getting pressure anymore and investigate that area. When you remove the regulator, does fuel spray out when you pressurize the line? I feel like there is a line blockage somewhere, maybe even on the return line?
