Great product, crappy price and availability
Jan. 12 2016
This review is from:
RELEASE LANYARD RING & REMOVABLE (Tools & Hardware)
Its very functional and is a must-have for Leatherman tools. Its disappointing to see that the tools come with a sheath and not a pocket clip (save for the Charge TTi). I prefer to carry in my pocket and not on my belt, which to me is way more cumbersome but to each their own.
Also appalling is the price, I have seen these as low as $4 in the US whereas up in Canada they all of a sudden become a $10+ item. Shame!

Leatherman 830850 Skeletool CX Multi-Tool (Tools & Hardware)
I have used Leatherman products extensively over the past 10 years. I am also an Engineer and do have a reasonable concept of how a product should be constructed. I will breakdown this review for each tool that is in Skeletool CX. For starters, the CX version offers a carbon fiber inlay lighter weight and a 154CM blade compared to the regular version of Skeletool.
The knife: Easily the best part of this multi tool. Its 154CM steel which is high carbon and should hold its edge longer than 420HC. The construction of the knife does allow for one handed opening of the knife which is definitely handy. I do however wish the blade was a bit longer, it seems a bit strange for such a long tool (including the carabiner) to produce a smaller 6.5cm blade (versus 7.5cm on Charge and Wave).
The pliers: Reasonable set of pliers, I feel its one of the weak points of this tool. The way its designed it doesn't fit correctly in my hand. If I turned it upside down the screw driver pokes into my palm. In its natural position (which I think is with screw driver at the bottom) it opposes the curvature of human palm. For simple prying and light squeezing its okay but don't expect more from this.
The screw driver: I really like the removable bit system. My product arrived with a Philips bit (#1 and #2) as well as a flat bit 3/16", 1/4". It was sold by Amazon.ca and is a US version (not a CDN one). They lock in just fine and do the job. Having said that, you cannot close the tool and use the screwdriver like you can with many other leatherman tools and the two side of the tools don't line up straight either thus making it a bit awkward to hold for more demanding jobs. I also own Leatherman's bit extender and can confirm that it works fine with this tool.
Clip and bottle opener: They are okay, do the job. I usually secure/carry my tools in my pocket or inside a backpack/bag so the carabiner clip isn't useful to me. The bottle opener can be handy if one likes to open a beer everyday with a multi tool. I am not one of those but I can see it being useful.
Final words: I purchased mine on sale for $69.99 which is a great price considering how much CDN$ has fallen this year. Shipping was extremely quick as I received the product next day (Free shipping option) so Amazon gets full points for that. Its a good tool if you are looking for a lighter option which is exactly what I purchased it for. For times when I am asked to make a quick trip to the grocery store or when going out with friends and family wearing normal or lighter clothes that don't have deep 8" pockets. The construction and the design leaves a bit to be desired. I am used to my Leatherman Charge TTi as my work companion and compared to this, Charge is built like a tank and offers plenty more useful features. Its sometimes a bit much to carry when wearing shorts or dress pants so that's when Skeletool CX can be extremely useful. All in all its a decent tool but its certainly not everyone's cup of tea.

This review is from:
Silicon Power Mobile X10 16GB USB 2 OTG Flash Drive for Android Smartphone/Tablet, Gold (SP016GBUF2X10V1C) (Personal Computers)
Item is as described. I can confirm it works great with Android 5.0 and above devices as well as windows 7 desktop/laptops.
I find that the cap holds the drive securely, as its the only way to attach it to a key chain. I do recommend carrying it in a pouch or an EDC case especially one is to store crucial or private data on it, because as good as the cap is, its not guaranteed to keep it secure as the cap (not the drive) slides on to the key chain. I also wish it was about half inch longer or so just to make it a bit easier to hand hold.
I am satisfied with my purchase and do recommend it to anyone who's looking for a portable solution to swap data between mobile devices and PCs.

The Legend Ends
Dec 4 2012
This review is from:
The Dark Knight Rises / L'Ascension du chevalier noir (Bilingual) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
The Movie itself:
A lot has been written & said about Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy so I am will keep this short, sweet and simple. The trilogy as a whole is perhaps one of the best ever made, it emphasized on Bruce Wayne as much as it did on Batman. His struggles, his rise and fall and his inner demons made him the superhero we came to love. Nolan's batman movies are not just comic book movies, they can also be viewed as a drama or a character study of sociopathic villains or a commentary on our extensively flawed society.
Now on to the fun stuff...
The Video:
Back in 2008 when The Dark Knight Blu-ray came out, it was the biggest release at the time. I think to this day, it's the highest selling Blu-ray of all time. Some also feel that The Dark Knight Blu-ray for the first time showcased the true calibre of this new media type. Nonetheless, it had its flaws and Warner was extensively bashed by the fans. Today, Blu-ray is a staple in our homes, like a television or a refrigerator and Warner Bros. took the time to ensure that they correct all that they did wrong with The Dark Knight Blu-ray.
The Dark Knight Rises Blu-ray arrives with perfect MPEG-4 encode, the colours are deep, rich and vibrant and the video showed no signs of excessive anti-aliasing and/or halos. Let me warn you though, the video switches between 2.40:1 and 1.78:1 aspect ratio to mimic its IMAX presentation. Please note that IMAX footage has been cropped from 1.43:1 to 1.78:1 to perfectly fit our widescreen HD television sets. While the switching aspect ratio might be an issue for some, its not for me. For me, the movie is so immersive that I never really paid any attention to its switching aspect ratio. Its near reference quality material and a treat to watch.
The Audio:
This disc features a 5.1 DTS-HD MA soundtrack and packs a lot of wallop and is loud and bombastic , all the channels are clear, all the sounds of crashes, gunshots and individuals are superb. Hans Zimmer's score has never sounded better, its like visiting an opera. If you love LFE and Bass, this is a treat for you, this will shake the room, raise your friends' eyebrows and yes your neighbours will call the cops if you play it middle of the night. This soundtrack is demo quality material and you will pat yourself on the back if you are a proud owner of a surround sound system. I can nit pick but I don't know what to, its perfect.
Final Words:
The Dark Knight Rises is an epic movie, and its anticlimactic ending is a fitting conclusion for most of us. Batman Begins ended with a Joker card, we knew there was another coming. The Dark Knight ended with Batman on the run, declared a vigilante and we knew there was another one coming. After this, there will be no more. But the movies will sit in our collection for years to come and will entertain us many times over.
Highly Recommended.

It doesn't get any better
June 9 2010
This review is from:
BBC Earth: Life [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
The Movie itself:
No one is even close to BBC's Natural History Team's dedication, cinematography and expertise when it comes to Nature & Wildlife filming. The team that gave us The Blue Planet (2001) & Planet Earth (2006) return to us with perhaps their most daunting adventure. If you thought they couldn't top Planet Earth's filming & beautiful orchestras, well they did exactly that. Approximately 3,000 hours of shooting with specialized slow motion cameras specifically designed for the task, transform on the screen to some of the most magical footage I have ever witnessed on my television.
The Video:
1080p video is simply spectacular. There is only one word to describe it. Some of the close up shots of little insects and coral reefs are so vividly coloured that it made me wonder, is this really true? Or BBC's Cg team has done some marvellous work and they are marketing it as a Nature Documentary. There are some shots under the water, which suffer a little and appear to be soft. But that's understandable given that chasing "The Heat Run" of Killer Whales was considered impossible before this video.
The Audio:
If I didn't like one thing about Planet Earth, it was the lack of HD Audio. Well BBC certainly went on to fix that in this series. DTSHD-MA audio is as filling as the video. The channels are very perfectly balanced and LFE/Subwoofer kicks in precisely when it needs to add the extra punch. Narration is fully dedicated to centre channel with David Attenborough's soothing voice giving it the final touch.
Final Words:
A lot has been said about the two different versions of this documentary available in US & Canada. The discovery channel version is narrated by Oprah Winfrey while the original BBC version (this one) is narrated by David Attenborough. Sir Attenborough is a living legend in his own right, so why replace him? I could think of only one reason, all the references to weight, temperature, measurement are in Metric system, which the vast majority of Americans don't understand. Either way, it seems like a poor marketing decision. Do yourself a favour and pick up this version narrated by David Attenborough; you will watch it time and again for years to come. HD TV sets and Blu-Ray were made for this type of content. Must Have, Highly Recommended.

Quality moviemaking
Jan. 7 2010
This review is from:
Public Enemies (Special Edition) [Blu-ray] (Bilingual) (Blu-ray)
The Movie Itself:
Michael Mann has a reputation of paying great attention to detail and camera angles, after all it was he who brought us the greatest gunfight sequence in recent cinema history (Heat). With Public Enemies Mann tries to re-create some of that magic. Everyone is familiar with the story of John Dilinger, who became a hero to people while he was most wanted by lawmen. His story isn't just a story of another modern day robin hood, it also marks the era when America came out off European shadows and became the industrial juggernaut that influenced the entire world. That brought surplus money to the country, which brought corruption, mob and ofcourse the organized law enforcement to counter all of that. Dilinger is played by Johnny Depp and his arch rival in a way is FBI agent Melvin Purvis played by Christian Bale. The story skews away from reality and Mann has shuffled the sequence to make the story more exciting. Dialogues are catchy, acting is wonderful and direction is superb.
The Video:
It may not be the best transfer but its definitely right up there in terms of quality. Michael Mann shot the entire movie with HD cameras and the beauty of HD is very obvious in its clean and sharp transfer. VC-1/1080p encode is near perfect, I enjoyed the rural scenes as much as the ones in Chicago. Some scenes are so crisp that the image seemed to be glowing out of my HDTV set.
The Audio:
DTS-HD MA 5.1 track is pristine. The escape from prison scenes gave my surround sound speakers a workout, the sub level is very nicely controlled and the bass isn't overly done. While gun shots were being fired all across my living room the audio was nicely balanced and I could clearly understand the dialogue being sent through the centre channel. I love Blues' so the Otis Taylor songs were really icing on the cake for me. I will be enjoying its soundtrack for years to come.
Final Words:
Public Enemies isn`t for everyone. I recall some folks coming out of the theaters disappointed. I must say I perhaps enjoyed it more than my friends. My only gripe is that while Dilinger`s character was very well established in the movie, no insight was offered to Melvin Purvis and he seemed to be just thrown in there without a preface. Introducing the viewership to his character in a little greater depth would have been nice. If you are a fan of this genre, this is a solid release, movie has decent replay value and audio, video components are second only to perhaps the Pixar titles. Recommended.

Pixar did it again!
Nov. 10 2009
This review is from:
Up (Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy) (Bilingual) (Blu-ray)
The Movie Itself:
When I first watched this movie in theaters, I was thrilled. It was a movie meant for everyone. The novelistic first quarter, with Carl Fredericksen & the love of his life, Ellie, their fantasized story made us adults cry. The next two quarters were intriguing and kept pace with adults and kids like, made us laugh in way only Pixar can, and set us up for an ending that was perhaps most suited for kids but was satisfying for all generations. Pixar has a track record that is unparalleled by any other studio. With "Up" they have proven to us once again that there is more left in their tank to surprise us with.
The Video:
Pixar Home Videos are reference quality discs and this one is also perfect. The MPEG4 AVC 1080p transfer in 1.78:1 aspect ratio is breathtaking. Colours are spectacular, flesh tones are natural, blacks and whites are vibrant, the motion and detail is extraordinary and leaps out of the screen. Okay I have run out of words so I hope you all get the idea.
The Audio:
As impressive as the video is the DTS HDMA 5.1 track. You can actually feel the atmosphere through the speakers. The control of the channels is perhaps the best I can recall in recent memory. Heck I could even feel the wind blowing through the house when its lifted up in the air. The balloons rubbing against each other and the briefest of sounds were clear. It really is a treat and its one of those few times when my surround sound investment seems to be worthwhile.
Final Words:
Up has it all, its perhaps the best release of the year if considered as package. Its presentation is second to none and its a movie that can be enjoyed by kids of all ages including some of us who think they are too old for everything. I hope everyone picks it up and enjoys it for years to come. Highly Recommended.

Just a popcorn flick
Oct. 26 2009
This review is from:
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2-Disc Special Edition) [Blu-ray] (Bilingual) (Blu-ray)
The Movie Itself:
Revenge of the fallen is perhaps the most anticipated title of the year and therefore has been released in numerous versions (exclusive to different retailers) to milk the cash cow. I really don't have many words to explain this movie as its not the kind of material that can be analyzed based on performance and/or storyline. Its purely flash, computer generated graphics, extremely loud noise and thrashing sound effects, and yes everything has reflection leading to more of the same. It's meant to entertain the audience on the big screen and I think it does exactly that. Audience doesn't have to think or process in their minds what's being shown on the screen, they simply watch and enjoy the sounds, effects, graphics and crash! boom! bang!
The Video:
The transfer on this Blu-ray is 1080p/AVC MPEG-4. Its definitely not reference quality material but its up there in terms of sharpness, colour saturation and detail. The scenes shot in IMAX exhibit great level of detail and are worth watching a few times. Beware though, IMAX scenes were cropped top and bottom and the entire movie was presented in 2.40:1 aspect ratio.
The Audio:
Its a very typical Michael Bay track. Its loud, it pumps all the channels and thumps a lot of bass through the sub. The audio encode is DTS-HD MA 5.1 and leaves very little to be desired. The dialogue, music, sounds behind action sequences are perfectly leveled/balanced and I didn't have to adjust volume over and again to bring it to appropriate levels.
Final Words:
I guess if you are fanboy you probably have purchased this already. If you are reading this, you are undecided so for those who are, this is a rental at best. If on a given Friday evening you cant get a movie of choice you can definitely give this one go.

Not a masterpiece but a lot of fun
Aug. 15 2009
This review is from:
Fast & Furious [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
The Movie Itself: Well we are familiar with Fast & Furious franchise.. street racing, the girls, the colours & the prize. This is part 4 of the franchise and it attempts to recreate the original. Vin Diesel is back along with Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez & Jordana Brewster thus assembling the original cast. In my opinion, that's really what the franchise needed and it's good to see that it went back to its roots. The movie is on a bigger scale and involves hot pursuits across the borders and on a more uneven terrain. Nothing new and its not like its never been done before but the special effects are awesome and provide incredible entertainment.
Video: VC-1 1080p transfer with with 2.40:1 aspect ratio is gorgeous. Yes the lights, colours and textures are more amazing than they ever were before. Really an eye candy for those boasting large LCD panels with BD players. Be warned, some scenes look artificial and animated in HD but it's not the disc's or transfer's fault. Its because the Cg is not up to the level of some other Hollywood mega budget movies.
Audio: Audio track is DTS-HD MA 5.1 and comes packed with wonderful use of all five channels. Engines, wheels, tires screeching, gunshots being fired & stick shifts, you name it and this track has it. It doesn't miss any of them and you will be highly entertained.
Final Words: Its by no means a masterpiece or the biggest summer blockbuster of the year, but its a lot of fun. Its action packed and offers beautiful picture and sound. If you liked the original you will find this to be a treat especially with the gorgeous BD treatment and sacks of supplements. All others, you might want to rent it before making a decision on its permanent place in your library. Recommended.

Certainly good but not the best
March 25 2009
This review is from:
Quantum of Solace [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
The movie itself: Quantum of Solace is the sequel to critically acclaimed "Casino Royale". Its certainly not as good as its prequel but it's definitely not a let down either. While the story lacks the twist the movie is essentially a jam packed thriller that has nothing in common with the James Bond movies we got accustomed to before the turn of the century. I am a little hesitant to say it but I felt the movie was heavily influenced by Bourne Trilogy and trying to replicate that, James Bond lost its own niche.
Video: Quantum of Solace's 1080p/AVC transfer is clean and considerably sharper than Casino Royale. The grain is deliberate and is kept that way to match the rough and tough theme of the movie itself. The pallet is very clean & skin tones seemed very natural. I wouldn't rate it as high as reference quality material but it's one of the better transfers out there.
Audio: The audio is lossless (DTS-HD) and does it pack a punch. The rear channels blew my ears when they had to and subwoofer channel did its part when it was needed. I really can't complain about anything here, as its one of the best audio tracks I have come across in a while.
Final Words: If you enjoy straight out of the box no BS thrillers, the movie is a good buy for you. However, if you are someone who enjoyed the original James Bond you will probably be left with a sour taste in your mouth. As I mentioned above James Bond didn't really seem like James Bond, he seemed like a "Jason Bourne Wannabe". Hardcore Bond fans will probably bash me and send me hate mail for it, but I am here to give my honest opinion and that's what it felt like. Rent it first and then make up your mind if it warrants a purchase.

I can't say enough about the staff at the local tour company. Jack was my Guide for the City Sightseeing Tour and Andy was my Guide for the Whistler Day Trip. They were awesome!
They are knowledgeable about the city/areas we visited they educated us on the history of each of the towns we visited or traveled through as well as brought us up to speed about current events of the towns, they are funny, they learned everyone's name in the tour group, they answered all questions we had, took photos for every member of our group at every stop. When it was all down, they dropped us back to our respective hotels.
I would have not learned as much as I did if I did this on my own. It was worthwhile investment!

Victoria is a must see in this part of the world but the ferry crossing and bus transfers take a long time from Vancouver on a day trip. The seaplane cuts this journey to just half an hour and in addition you get wonderful views of Vancouver, Victoria and the islands in-between.

This was a well organised and very enjoyable day trip. Our tour leader Katrina really knew her stuff and provided a very informative and entertaining commentary for the outward journey, quieter on the way back when, as she rightly observed, many of us were a bit sleepy! This was the first time my wife and I have ever done a coach trip, we usually hire a car on holiday and find our own way but this time couldn't be bothered. We're so glad as it meant we got taken straight to all the good bits without wasting time. It was particularly valuable having a tour leader who was local and so obviously proud of the city she comes from. I hope she enjoys her trip to London in the fall! Would highly recommend this trip, it was a great decision to take it.

My son and I thoroughly enjoyed the very relaxing trip to Indian Arm. It was very well organized and a table was reserved for us on the boat which was great as you didn't have to rush for a table. Lunch was very nice and plentiful. Everyone was friendly on the trip and we chatted to some really nice tourists from the States. Weather was quite nice and at least it didn't rain. All in all a very nice day trip. Would definitely recommend it.

The tour company did a great job! Brent, our tour guide was super friendly and knowledgeable of the area and surroundings. He did a great job of accommodating everyone on our tour. The Shannon Falls was beautiful. We even walked the extra 93 steps to get a closer look. Truly stunning! So worth walking up the extra steps. the Britannia Mine was quite interesting. Were even able to pan for gold and found some specs!! The Gondola Ride was spectacular. I would take a picnic lunch and a bottle of wine with us next time! Such a great view and awesome place to have a picnic. This will save time as the food lines in the restaurant area can be long and takes up time that you can be hiking the trails and walking the Suspension Bridge! This is a great activity to do with the young ones, as there are play areas set up at each spot with different activities for them. Time is limited to each location, so keep this in mind. This is just a day trip with 3 activities, and a possibly a few pitstops along the way. For having a limited amount of days in Vancouver, this was a great and economical way to get to see the Squamish area in a day.

Fortunatly it was early in the season and we only had a group of 12. Pick-up and drop off at the hotels was done in 2 seperate vehicles, so it went very quicknot having to stop at all hotels. Sheldon our tour guide was awesome! It was a fantastic day trip! Sadly you can only put so much in 12hours. Next time I would go overnight, to get to see some more of Victoria.

The weather wasn't good for this day, but it didn't stop us from totally enjoying the day trip. The capilano suspension bridge was a great option. Unfortunately Grouse mountain turned into gross mountain as it was raining heavily and it turned really cold. We enjoyed the ride up the mountain and it was still worth it. We were disappointed however there were no grizzly bears as they went back inside. However we would still recommend this tour to everyone. Great value and very friendly tour guides who were so informative and helpful.

Doing what: Private Tour: Whistler Day Trip from Vancouver
We had 7 days in Vancouver prior to a cruise. The half day trip around Vancouver conducted by Rick was a great trip with interesting and informative descriptions of the sites. It gave us an insight into the places to visit in our spare time over the coming days. I would recommend this for your first day.
Our second day was to Whistler and this was an extremely interesting and enjoyable day with a great tour guide. The mountain bike competitions were on during our visit to it made it even more interesting. I would recommend the Gondola ride we took to Whistler Mountain, then the chairlift to the top. Although it was the end of summer there was still snow on the peak. On our return then took the Peak 2 Peak to Blackcomb mountain return with some great sights before returning to the village for a hot dog. Great day out and the highlight. The wildlife was interesting including the cheeky chipmunks and marmots.
Third day to Vancouver Island, Victoria and the Butchart Gardens. Another full wonderful day and experience with a great guide. Can't describe how great that the gardens were - you must see them.
Finally the last two days were fully utilized on the hop-on-off bus where we visited the sights, jumped off to do some shopping, and back on for more sights. We used the two days going around the circuit several times which permitted us to fit in the shopping as well. No issues at all if you are organized.
Finally we also did the Capilano Suspension Bridge and Grouse Mountain tour - another enjoyable tour.
I would recommend all of these tours if you have time.
Doing what: British Columbia Super Saver: 5-Day Tour of Vancouver, Whistler and Victoria
Great day trip and worth paying the extra to do the Vancouver to Victoria leg of the tour by seaplane. The views during take off and landing were amazing. The return leg of 3.5 hours may sound daunting, but a substantial part of this is on the ferry and weather permitting you will be able to enjoy more amazing views from on deck. Note, it is important that you contact the operator of your tour, as explained in your voucher, to get the times of your plane and bus bookings. These will not come from Viator.

If you are experiencing frequent reloading, unable to connect or load content issues, the steps below might help to improve your overall streaming experience.
Verifying Network Connection
- Is it connected? The first thing to check is whether you have lost your network connection.
- From the Home screen, go to Settings>network>repeat guided setup
- Then try playing the channel content again
- If you are connected to your network, but you are still getting those playback errors, it's more a likely wireless strength or Internet speed issue. Take a look at the other suggestions below: Verifying Wireless Signal Strength or Verifying Internet Connection.
- If you can not connect to your network, then try running guided setup again just to be safe. If you get connected, try playing the channel content again. But if you still encounter playback errors, follow the other suggestions below.
- If you can not connect to your network at all, we need to restart your unit and/or other network related parts that may be prevention this connection.
- Restart your player and try the network connection again. More details and instruction can be found here.
- Restart your network.
- Unplug the power connection from these network devices in the following order: Roku player, router, then modem (Note: your modem/router may be the same unit)
- Plug in the power connection in the reverse order: modem, router, then Roku player
- Try connecting to the network again from the Roku player
Verifying Wireless Signal Strength
- Note: you can skip this if your Roku player is wired to your router with an Ethernet cable. If you are connected using wireless networking, check that the signal strength is at least "good".
- To check your wireless signal
- From the Home screen, go to Settings>network and see what is displayed for "Signal strength"
- If it indicates "fair" or "poor" try these steps to improve the wireless signal here.
If the above gave you a "good" or "better" wireless signal and you can better enjoy streaming content playback, then you are done.
But if you are still encountering playback issues even with good wireless signal, then you may want to check out the next step: Verifying Internet Connection.
Verifying Internet Connection
- Check the connection speed of your network to the Internet. Different channels will have slightly varying minimum Internet connection speed requirements. More details and instruction can be found here.
- Change some common router settings to optimize your Internet connection. Note that these steps are intended for customers familiar with making changes in their routers and networking components. If you are not comfortable with these steps, we recommend contacting your network equipment manufacturer for assistance.
- Wireless channel, quality of service and DNS settings can have affect both wireless network experience and your Internet experience.
- Change your wireless channel to a less congested one
- Disable QoS (Quality of Service) if you are not using this service for priority traffic routing
- Change DNS servers to improve name resolution
- More details can be found here.

We loved this rice, served with Jerk Chicken, Caribbean Coleslaw, and a mango salsa.
Good, flavorful but next time will cut the cayenne down to 1/4 tsp.
Excellent rice dish! I made it as it, with the exception of the green onions but that's just because I forgot it. It's nice and spicy and flavorful! I will definitely be making this again. Next time I will have all the ingredients pre-prepared so I don't have to run around the kitchen so much! I served with roasted parmesan cauliflower and a cayenne/paprika rubbed beef roast.
Oh boy is this AWESOME!! I made it as a side dish for chicken enchiladas and it was fantastic. A keeper!!! I followed the instructions exactly and it turned out great!!
Very good rice that was so easy to make. I dont care for cilantro so I used parsley instead and a pinch of red pepper flakes for the cayenne. Loved the toasted nutty flavor! Served with Wildflour's Hacienda Pork Chops Grande!, topped with a bit of the sauce from the pork chops and enjoyed. Made and reviewed for ZWT 4.
5 stars from DH. He loved the taste of this rice. I don't really like cilantro so that's why it was not a real hit with me. I wanted to try but I knew that DH would like this LOL He's happy to have leftovers for his lunches. Thanks Mama. Made for the Babes of ZWT4
Delicious!!!! This tastes very similar to Qdoba's rice to me. I used 1/2 jalapeño pepper for the spice. I'll definitely make this time and time again, it was so easy! Made for ZWT4.
This was a nice side dish. I think my cilantro was losing it's oomph and my jalepeno wasn't so hot though. I think that made the difference on the rating. We still enjoyed it but it could have had a more full flavour but that, I'm sure, is totally the fault of my ingrediants. Next time I'll add some red pepper flakes too adn try fresh chives instead of green onions. Made for ZWT4
Very easy to make and delicious! I used brown rice, so added slightly more liquid and cooked for about 40 minutes. We don't like cilantro, so I left it out, and I also used chives instead of green onions. A great side dish that I will make again. Made for ZWT4.
I didn't have cilantro and accidently used diced yellow onion instead of green. I for got to saute the onion and garlic prior to adding the broth and then added hot pepper AND cayenne to the mix. With all those mistakes, you'd think it would turn out bad. But it was wonderful! Even with the additional hot pepper, it wasn't too hot. The rice had a kick but also had a lovely subtle flavor. It could accompany almost any dish. I'll be making this often. Thanks for posting.

Family Fitness Across the Generations
3 ways to get the whole family fit -- together
By Wendy C. Fries
Reviewed By Michael Smith, MD
Exercise is good for the body. Family togetherness is good for the spirit. So why not put two good things together and do a workout the whole family can enjoy?
Here are three types of exercise that can include kids, parents, and grandparents, providing fitness and fun for everyone from 7 to 77.
Walking: The Perennial Favorite
Almost everyone can walk, and we can do it just about anywhere, from tots and parents strolling the sidewalks to grandparents and grandkids speed-walking at the mall.
We all know that regular physical activity, like walking, helps control weight and reduces risks for heart attack, cancer, diabetes, and high blood pressure. But walking is more than good for you -- it can also add pleasure to your day.
"Don't forget to up the fun," advises Brigitte Mesa, a walking enthusiast who lives in New Jersey.
We're all more likely to exercise when it's disguised as something else, Mesa says. That's why she and her husband spice up their walking workouts with Frisbee throwing, nature hikes, dog walks, sightseeing, and picnics in the park.
Here are more tips for fun walking workouts, from WebMD Weight Loss Clinic members and other locomotion lovers:

BEIJING (AP) - At least 300 people are dead, thousands injured and others buried under rubble after a series of strong earthquakes in western China.
Mud and wood homes collapsed and people poured into the streets for safety andf to look for relatives.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the main quake was a magnitude 6.9 temblor. There were aftershocks of 5.2 and stronger.
Rescue workers are trying to dig trapped people out but efforts are hindered by telecommunications problems, with phone lines down.

It would be nice to also display the list in a blog page.
I have a new project where I show users a list os things in development, so they know what they can count on in the future, so that thay don't keep emailing me about things they would like in the site that are already being implemented. I do this list by hand in a page but it would be really neat if I could have a Todo List in the dashboard that I could also show in that page, with a shortcode or in some other way.
And thanks for this useful plugin.

Connectivity, meanwhile, doesn't disappoint either. Samsung provides exactly the same huge variety of options as on the 24in version of its HD range, meaning you get DVI-D, dual v1.2 HDMIs, VGA, component, composite and SCART taking care of video. The only notable (and puzzling) absentee here is S-Video, which is superior to composite as a standard definition analogue connector. Audio is covered by 3.5mm in and out jacks, and an optical digital-out to carry surround sound from HDMI sources. TV-specific connections consist of an antenna jack, and a CI slot for Freeview viewing.
Thankfully, all these ports are incredibly easy to access. The majority are located on the monitor's back, angled out to make hooking cables up a doddle. On the right-hand side is a hinged flap behind which you'll find the second HDMI, CI slot and headphone jack.
One of the highlights of Samsung's LCD TV/monitor range is without doubt the remote; the company has a lot of experience making televisions, and it shows. It's very comfortable to hold, and places the most important buttons perfectly under your thumb. It feels very well-built, too, and sports soft-feel buttons positioned in a logical, intuitive layout that makes it easy to use even in the dark, despite not being backlit.
To be honest, you'll rarely want to use the monitor's own buttons in preference to the remote, but just in case your dog chews it up, it's good to know the T220HD's controls work well. Hidden from view on the left side, the buttons are easily distinguishable by feel, and offer a pleasant tactile experience - unlike the touch-sensitive ones many manufacturers implement these days. As well as calling up and navigating the menu, these controls provide shortcuts to changing TV channel, volume and input source.
The menu system is also very attractive and easy to use. You get a large, full-colour menu panel, which actually looks like it's running on a high definition screen rather than something from the Atari days. The five huge icons on the left give logical visual representations of display properties, audio, Freeview, other settings and input. Input is the simplest menu, which lets you switch between the monitor's various ones and allows you to assign them a name from a set list. Thus you can label a certain input as 'Satellite STB' or 'D-VHS', though considering all the consoles out there 'GAME' is a bit generic.

"Vermont" Top 5 Page for this destination Vermont by nuker
Vermont Travel Guide: 879 reviews and 1,887 photos
Vermont is a state I have been visiting for many years now with family, friends, and just my wife. I love driving through the mountains and the farms as you drive from town to town. Vermont typifies small town living and the America you see in Norman Rockwell paintings.
Most people tend to visit Vermont is the fall and the winter. New England int he fall is the host of some of the most beautiful foliage in the world. People from everywhere flock to Vermont to experience the change from summer to fall.
Vermont is also host to some of the best skiing in Eastern half of the United States. Not being a skier, I can't provide too much help in this category. One thing I don know, is the "ski villages" are great places to hang out and visit whether you ski or not. The scenery and snow is non-stop.
The top towns I have vistited are Burlington, Stowe, and Killington. Are three will provide a memorable visit no matter how long you spend there. Just the drive from town to town is worth it. As you drive, you see the Green Mountains, rivers, streams and all the beautiful small towns in between. If you are visiting Hartford, New York City, Boston, or Providence, I recommend highly taking a couple of day (even one day) and drive to Vermont. You will not be disappointed!

Even though I moved to Virginia in 1999, Vermont will always be home. I was born in Berlin...
Burlington is actually not the capital of Vermont, Montpelier is.
I am pretty sure that when you mentioned Burlington as being the capital of Vermont that that was an incorrect statement.
Dear nuker -- Burlington's a great small city, but Montpelier's the capital.
farms, meadows, mountains, and that amazing foliage...you can't beat Vermont.
Your winter scenes were absolutely gorgeous--
nice page, you pretty much described VT pretty well. But being a Vermonter, I feel it's my job to inform you that Montpelier is our state capitol, not Burlington. Personally I think Burlington would be a better capitol city. Common misconception
Great page. Brings back childhood memories.
great page with wonderful winter photos
I knew more from Vermont,thank`s your great page!

Visiting the Eva Empire
Anyone who has spent five minutes in New York City over the past few weeks has seen the campaign signs; some merely state the name of the candidate and some take it a step further, employing the use of catchy phrases. Manhattan borough president candidate Eva Moskowitz's signs, emblazoned with "Don't get mad. Get Eva," fall into the latter category. So today, on Primary Day, I decided to take my sign appreciation to a new level. I decided to go get some Eva.
Making my way through the Upper East Side, the turf war, in all its democratic glory, was evident. Surrounded by Scott Stringer signs, the Eva Kids, in their fire engine red T-shirts, had staked out 92nd and 3rd, a mere block away from the Eric Cesnik camp that had claimed the corner of 91st and 3rd.
I had heard that Eva was campaigning on 92nd and 2nd, but after being directed up and down 92nd street five times in a fruitless quest to find her, I took refuge in a polling center where she was scheduled to appear and settled in, watching as people fanned themselves with the literature handed out by the bevy of workers on the streets.
Moskowitz, the councilwoman from the Upper East Side, has managed to stand out in a race that has been glossed over in favor of mayoral coverage. She has been in the spotlight recently due to a complaint she filed with the Campaign Finance Board alleging that opponent Stringer illegally accepted help from the Working Families Party in the form of mailings and phone calls.

"It completely eviscerates the concept of a cap [on spending]," she tells the Voice. "If you want to win so much that you're not willing to do it honestly, then what's the point?"
Stringer and the WFP are not the only enemies Moskowitz has in this town. A few years ago, the woman whose fliers read "Doesn't Go Along to Get Along" launched a campaign against the United Federation of Teachers, "committing a sin" by "cracking open the books" and investigating work-rule misuse in the public school system, she says. Her actions prompted UFT boss Randi Weingarten to vow to "punish" her, Moskowitz says.
But today, at around 3:40 pm, the candidate that has been called "Evil Moskowitz" entered the room inconspicuously and without pomp, trailed only by an aide and welcomed warmly by the crowd of poll workers and citizens. She slowly walked around, shaking hands, bending down to talk to constituents, taking her time to listen to a wheelchair-bound man who told her of the lack of a ramp on the corner of 86th and Madison.
As she exited the room quietly, she passed a woman in the hallway. "The voting is in there, ma'am," she said. Without a hint of recognition, the woman thanked her and moved on.

AbstractCrew behavioral health and performance are of high importance, especially for long duration exploration missions. Early detection of stress and effective options for restoration and enhancement of behavioral health are imperative for accomplishment of mission objectives and for maintaining a productive spaceflight environment. To address the behavioral health issues during exploration missions, the NASA Behavioral Health and Performance Program Element (BHP) is looking for a non-invasive technology that would unobtrusively, and with minimal crew time and effort: monitor physiological markers of stress; offer countermeasures for maintenance and restoration of behavioral health; and identify methods to prevent decrements in behavioral health. The primary goal of this project is the development of a tool to provide Behavioral Monitoring and Evaluation for the Delivery of Interactive Cognitive behavioral therapy (B-MEDIC). During Phase I we will provide an analysis of measures and technologies for physiologically monitoring, assessing and treating stress; and provide requirements for the technological enhancements necessary to produce B-MEDIC. By the end of Phase II, our multi-disciplinary team proposes to develop a functioning prototype of B-MEDIC to address the following gaps outlined in the BHP Integrated Research Plan (July 2010): BMED1, BMED2, and BMED6. (Phase I TRL: Beginning 1, End 3)

Todd Haley has to have an advantage over other candidates to be interviewed for the job of Head Coach in Arizona, other than maybe Ray Horton (current Defensive Coordinator). His good relationship and reputation with the franchise may very well help be a deciding factor when it's all said and done. If he really wants this job it's probably his to lose. If there is a place where he could fit in and try to start repairing his head coaching stigma, it's in Arizona. For me even if this move does make sense in some ways, I still find it odd that just a year removed from the disaster in Kansas City that somebody really thinks Haley is the man to steer their ship. Nothing personal against Haley, but the Chiefs situation was just flat out bad when he left. Like the old saying goes, some are cut out to be Head Coaches and some are better suited to Coordinators. That's not a bad thing, just a fact of life in professional sports. Lebeau didn't do so well in Cincinnati but we all know he's a de...

Bill Hughes and Bernadine Carraher who previously worked together for six years set up Mind the Gap Films in 2001. The company specialises in television entertainment, music, documentaries, and other factual programming. We regularly work on large scale productions with budgets of over €1 million and bring them in on time and on budget.
Mind the Gap Films are
currently in post-production on a new BAI/Science Foundation Ireland/S481 funded series called "Eureka! The Big Bang Query". The 10 part series is presented by comedian Neil Delamere with a host of scientists and comedians along for the ride. It will be broadcast on RTÉ2 beginning Monday 14th March at 10.30pm.
2015 saw Mind the Gap produce an entertainment series for RTÉ1 which saw 3
celebrity chefs recreate historical banquets in 6 of the 'big houses' around
the country. We also worked on a new 4 part series for TV3 called "Dáil on the Dole". The programme gave households surviving on social
welfare the opportunity to host their local T.D. so that each could walk a mile
in the other's shoes. The second series of "Ireland's Spelling Bee" was broadcast on RTÉ1 in the Summer. Ground-breaking documentary "These Walls Can Talk" explored the complex history of St. Joseph's School for Deaf Boys in Cabra. The documentary aired on RTÉ1 in the Autumn. "FAB! The Night the Beatles Came to Dublin" used a mix of archive footage and interviews with people who attended the two concerts put on by the Beatles in Dublin's famous Adelphi Theatre to tell the story of that memorable day in the capital's cultural history.
We have produced 3
comedy-history documentaries with hugely popular comedian Neil Delamere. In
2011 our 2 part IFTA award winning series "The Only Viking in the Village" saw
Neil go in search of our Viking ancestors. In 2013 he returned to tackle the
fact and fiction surrounding our patron saint in "There's Something About
Patrick", which went on to win a Celtic Media award. We have just completed
post-production on a four-part BAI funded comedic exploration of four Irish
heroes of yore – Cúchulain, Fionn MacCumhaill, Red Hugh O'Donnell and Grace
O'Malley. "Holding Out For A Hero" airs on RTÉ2 in December 2014.
In 2014 Mind the Gap Films
completed 2 new RTÉ1 documentaries. In the "The Bee" children from all over
Ireland competed in the Eason Nationwide Spelling Bee competition. The result is an inspirational film that
captures the next generation of young Irish people and their determination to
make their schools and families proud. Six-part lifestyle series "Domestic
Divas" saw presenters Aisli Madden & Cat Lawlor help Celtic Tiger cubs with
their domestic dilemmas. From the social butterfly who has no time to cook or
clean his flat, to the single mother who needs help to make her son's 1st
birthday extra special, the Domestic Divas offer simple tips and tricks to
transform even the most domestically challenged.
"Glaoch an Cheoil" is an 8 part
series that aired on TG4 in Winter 2013. This long form observational
documentary paired unused musical instruments with people who had always wanted
to learn how to play. We followed the journeys of these new musicians which
culminated in a special concert for the President in Áras an Uachtaráin.
In 2012 Mind the Gap Films produced
gripping historical documentary "Glaoch ón Tríú Reich" for TG4. The film saw
German linguist and fluent Irish speaker Dr. Arndt Wigger explore the Irish
language radio broadcasts made from Berlin to Ireland during World War Two. He
specifically wanted to investigate the role played by his former mentor Hans
Hartmann who was head of this radio service to Ireland. This lead Arndt on a
revealing and sometimes painful journey through Conamara, Donegal and Berlin to
try to at last determine whether or not Hartmann was a Nazi.
In 2012 we produced 9 part
young people's series "Pump Up My Dance" for RTÉ. The series gave young dancers
the chance to have a masterclass with renowned choreographers in nine different
dance styles – Hip Hop, Ballet, Musical Theatre, Jazz, Contemporary,
Breakdance, Irish, Tap and Latin.
July 2011 saw our observational
documentary Comically Challenged air on BBC NI. It dealt with the the
relationship between comedy and disability and featured the internationally
renowned comedians Adam Hills and Tanya Lee Davis. The show was a mix of Obs doc and
multi-camera studio.
Kids archaeology adventure game
show Ireland Dig It! launched the young people's schedule on RTÉ in September
2010 and was heavily repeated. The show
was filmed on location using multi-camera OB in the Craggaunowen Heritage Park
and in museums across Ireland.
Our show Hallelujah Broadway
pays homage to the music of Broadway for PBS and RTE. The show was filmed in Prague in Feb 2010 in front of a live
audience, in a baroque church in the centre of the Old Town of Prague. The team of 80 included professionals from
the UK, Ireland and the Czech Republic. We brought in the acclaimed UK director Tony
Gregory and top DOP from the UK, Paul Jarvis.
The show aired to great acclaim on 60% of the PBS stations across the
USA. The RTÉ version of the show was
broadcast on Easter Sunday 2010.
Our light entertainment show
Celebrity Jigs and Reels had two series filmed in Ardmore studios and two New
Year's Specials. The shows were
broadcast live on RTE with ratings of 33% to 38%. The final New Year's programme was filmed in
RTE in front of a live audience and rang in the New Year 2008 with a 44%
In January 2010 we completed a
series for TV3 called Modern Ireland as well as a long form obs-doc for RTÉ
called "Music Changes Lives".Music Changes Lives won a Radharc Award in 2010
and later that year won the European Journalist of the Year award for Ireland.
Our acclaimed documentary "John O'Conor's Beethoven Bootcamp" on
world renowned Irish pianist John O'Conor's masterclass was shown at the Dublin
Documentary Film Festival and on RTE in February 2009. Our observational documentary An Bhfuil Cead
Agam, following 10 adults at a summer Gaeltacht course trying to revive their

in the Gaeltacht, living under the same strict rules as the teenagers, to try
to improve their Irish.
In 2006 we filmed the series
Irish Tenors and Friends in Ardmore
studios in front of a live audience. Andrew Lloyd Webber was one of many
international guests who came to Dublin
for the series. The show was pre-recorded
and broadcast in the summer of 2006.

Snowe's blindly ideological view on health care asserts, against common sense, that even when the outcome is likely to be inferior, we should prefer "private" solutions.

Alzheimer's disease takes a devastating toll, not just on those with the disease but also on their caregivers. My father was heartbroken having to watch my mother battle Alzheimer's for 13 years until she passed away in 2010. He needed as much support as possible to care for her.
Currently, there are more than five million Americans living with Alzheimer's disease, including 6,400 Alaskans. In addition, more than 15.7 million Americans are caring for someone with Alzheimer's or another dementia, including 33,000 caregivers in Alaska.
Editor's Note: The letter below was written in response to the proposed funding of the University of Alaska.
Dear House Finance Committee Members,
My name is Gary J. Turner and I have been the director/CEO of Kenai Peninsula College, a unit of the University of Alaska Anchorage for the last 14 years. KPC has two campuses (one in Homer and one in Soldotna) and two extension sites (one in Seward and one in Anchorage). We were founded in 1964 and serve approximately 2,500 students on the Kenai Peninsula and across the state via distance education.
Although Alaska is experiencing another painful trough in the oil price cycle, it is only temporary in nature and should not be used to permanently sandblast the shine off of Alaska. To go there would cause a rapid exodus of Alaska's voluntary private sector causing a Detroit-style death spiral.
Hi! My name is Ashlyn H. I am a fifth-grade student at Harlan Intermediate School in Harlan, Iowa. My class is studying the geography and history of the United States. I am excited to learn more about your state of Alaska. I would really appreciate it if you would send me pictures, postcards, information or souvenirs from your state. My teacher, Mrs. Newlin, would like a car license plate, if possible, for a school project.
I really appreciate your time and look forward to learning more about your fantastic state!
Thank you!
Ashlyn Hill
I found the response of Mayor Porter in the Clarion's Feb. 21 article on Recording Comp Plan Meetings quite enlightening. She intends to run the meetings her way regardless of what the public or even the council says.
The main players pushing the Comp Plan this year are the same as in 2013. Their attitudes have not changed. Can we expect the outcome to be any different?
The citizens of the City of Kenai should take a more proactive approach this time. The citizens should insist on being involved in defining and implementing the process.
Governor Jay Hammond fought hard to create the Permanent Fund dividend program in order that a portion of one-time oil wealth will be shared equally with all future Alaskans.
Borough Mayor Mike Navarre has been traveling around the state all winter attending meetings to actively promote Democrat Gov. Bill Walker's Permanent Fund raid.
Navarre and other high government officials insist they can spend our (the people's) share of Alaska's oil wealth better than we can. Their argument is "the people want the bloated government that many of these same high government officials created." The majority of regular people reject this fairy tale as the nonsense it is.
The Kenai-Soldotna Shrine Club is here to help and provide care for those families with children who have burns, cleft lip or palates, as well as other orthopedic health care needs.
As Shriners, we have access to one of the world's largest pediatric sub-specialty health care systems in the world. With 22 hospitals located in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, we improve the lives of children by providing specialty care.
If you know of a child we can help, please contact a Shriner or call the Al Alaska Shrine Center in Anchorage at 907-274-4344 or visit www.shrinershq.com.
The local Salvation Army, its employees and volunteers would like to express our sincere thanks to the Kenai Home Depot for the donation of materials and painting supplies to help us add display space at our Soldotna Store. In addition, they provided a special cart to the Kenai Store to assist us in transporting large items within the store. Home Depot, their manager, Alan Sherlock along with Amber Goggia, Kyle Esch and Caleb Kuehn were highly organized, provided amazing service, assistance and with our deepest appreciation made this happen for our community.
Thank you to all of the community members, volunteers, and sponsors who helped make the 9th annual Electronics Recycling Event a success. 83 households, 1 business, and 3 nonprofits brought in 10,912 pounds of material. That's over 5 tons of electronics that will be reclaimed, repurposed, and recycled into more products and electronics.

Kurt Elling: Stories from New York
"Among the women, Becca Stevens is writing some very beautiful things and has a richly textured approach to music. It lights up like a firefly when she sings. She's so wonderful to hear and so wonderful to be in the presence when it's happening live. Gretchen Parlato, another virtuoso-level performer. I'm, interested to hear how her thing continues to develop. She's so smart. There's a gal up in Canada named Laurie Cullen. She's not known in the states at all. I don't know how much touring she does. But my goodness she's got a great sound and a very smart concept ... It's definitely happening. Jo Lawry and Kate McGarry. They're a couple of great singers going down their own paths. There's quite a few really good people out there at this point. And that doesn't even include the fact that Mark Murphy is still making incredible last-minute additions to his oeuvre. And Jon Hendricks is ready to blow any night of the week in any room in the world."
So is Kurt Elling.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - Two launch explosions. Three satellites stuck in useless orbits. Another satellite vaporized in the atmosphere.
The United States has had six U.S. rocket failures in less than nine months with losses totaling $3.5 billion, mostly at taxpayer expense.
It's considered the worst string of botched U.S. rocket launches since the mid-1980s; space shuttle Challenger was among the casualties back then.
The question being asked Wednesday just hours after the latest mishap was: What's going on?
"The problem, I think, is that this is still hard. We have not learned how to make the launch systems that we have anywhere near the reliability of aircraft, for example," said John Logsdon, director of George Washington University's space policy institute. "And so as long as we use these systems, there are going to be failures. Now when they all come in a row, it's really kind of nasty. But statistically, I think that's as likely as any other outcome."
The six rockets were carrying three military satellites, two commercial communication satellites and a privately owned satellite capable of taking detailed, military-quality photographs of Earth.
Three of the rockets were launched by the Air Force; three by aerospace companies.
As for the safety implications for NASA's space shuttle program, the shuttle itself, at least, has no parts in common with the errant rockets. But the same two contractors that built them - Boeing Co. and Lockheed Martin Corp. - also work on the shuttle.
"Underneath, there may be some systemic problems," Logsdon said.
Still, the shuttle program has been affected by the launch fiascos.
Columbia is grounded, and its telescope-delivery mission in July is on hold until the Air Force figures out why an upper-stage motor on a Titan IV rocket failed during a satellite launch last month. The same kind of motor will be used to propel NASA's $1.5 billion Chandra X-ray telescope.
Boeing's newest rocket, the Delta III, was the latest to flop.
After a month of delays, including a countdown that went all the way down to zero without an engine ignition, the Delta III blasted off Tuesday night. Everything seemed to go well until 22 minutes into the flight when the upper stage that's needed to boost the satellite into a higher orbit either did not fire for the second time or did not fire long enough.
Instead of circling Earth thousands of miles high, the communication satellite was left in a useless, lopsided orbit 98 miles by about 860 miles. The chances of saving the satellite were slim.
It was the second botched flight in a row for the Delta III, which was intended to grab more of the launch market for Boeing.
The inaugural flight in August ended in a fireball 71 seconds after liftoff because of a poor computer program. The satellite was destroyed.
Also in August, an Air Force Titan IV rocket carrying a spy satellite blew up less than a minute into flight. An Air Force investigation uncovered faulty wiring as well as questionable quality control by Lockheed Martin. All Titan models were grounded during the investigation.
The Titan IV - the Pentagon's most powerful rocket and the only one able to lift hefty military payloads - was back in action April 9. But the missile-warning satellite it was carrying ended up in a useless orbit.
Another Titan IV lifted off last Friday, but that military communication satellite also ended up in an orbit thousands of miles too low.
