Overall, Stacy was very responsive and very diligent. I appreciated her promptness and willingness to support me with my case in a timely manner.

I was skeptical about a contingency lawyer; and how i might I be represented. I knew I had been taken advantage of by my last employer. (no overtime pay/no meal breaks for 4 years) I really didn't know what to do or who to talk to about it. I had consultations with 2 other lawyers that told me I didn't have a strong case. I decided to talk to one more law firm. Stacy North of (Pierce & Shier Law Firm). Stacy told me that she was confident in representing my employment/labor case. Stacy was very responsive to my questions concerning my case. Stacy is very knowledgeable in all labor laws concerning; overtime wages /meal breaks/discrimination in work place and wrongful termination. After a year of court hearings, lawyers, and attorneys, Stacy won my employment/labor case. Thanks to Stacy North of Pierce & Shier LLC Law Firm I have collected over $40,000 dollars from previous employer for lost overtime and meal break wages .The good thing was I paid no money out of my pocket for representation. Stacy North has renewed my faith in the judicial system.

Stacy helped me with a workplace problem in 2011. I wasn't sure what to expect when I met with her for the first time, but she was great to work with and got me get a generous settlement with my company. She gave great advice and helped me craft a very persuasive and powerful case that was summarized in a letter to my company. She's also a very tough negotiator who projects confidence and competence in her dealings with people. I got great value for my money. I have since recommended her to two other individuals who have also been very happy with her work.

With over a decade of working for a Fortune 100 company, I have certainly had experience in dealing with some of the nation's best Employment Law attorneys. Often, I was on the defense side of the table. But, there came a time where I wanted to make sure my rights were protected- and I wasted no time in calling on Ms. North.
Although never shy of a formal trial (and very good trial attorney I might add), she possesses a great degree of negotiation skill and does not back down- fighting for her client while keeping the best strategy for successful conclusion in mind.
She balances fairness with cost and is always putting her client's needs ahead of all else. She is honest and will always provide her opinion, but never ignore the opinion of her clients.

Stacy, was amazing. She was very Professional and Knowledgeable. I was thankful to have her representing by interests through the complete litigation process. Anyone would be fortunate to have her on their side.

I found Stacy North to be an ethical, cogent, responsive and supportive attorney. For myself and my business partners she is the "go to" person for legal counsel.

Stacy is one of the strongest lawyers I have ever worked with. No only is she smart, nothing ever rattles her. Not only is great at prepping clients for depositions and the like, she is also fearless and a joy to work with despite the defendant being a very large company. Stacy is highly intelligent both IQ and EQ. I would have her in my corner anytime. Additionally, I observed her working well with subordinates and peers. A true professional. She also has a great sense of humor which comes in handy in stressful situations. I cannot recommend her more highly, as I found her to be a great negotiator, but compassionate at the same time. I got everything I wanted in the case. She also is very responsive in returning emails and calls.

Inflation persistence and nonlinearities in Central and Eastern European countries
In this paper we provide an insight into the inflation dynamics in a panel of Central and Eastern European countries. Applying unit root tests and allowing for nonlinearities, we show that inflation rates in more than half of these countries are stationary.

The Last of the Mohicans
This silent film version of James Fenimore Cooper's adventure novel packs a wallop. During the 18th century wars between the French and English, Huron Indian Magua sides with the French, while Mohicans Uncas and Chingachgook remain loyal to the Brits. The action gets intense during the Fort Henry bloodbath, but the movie's dramatic climax comes when the commander's daughter threatens to jump from a cliff rather than fall into Magua's clutches.

Whilst modern in it's presentation, -ish returns to a traditional London Dry style using botanicals including coriander seed, angelica root, almond, orris root, nutmeg, cinnamon, cassia, liquorice, lemon & orange peel and with an "extra shot" of Juniper (almost double of a standard London Dry). Ish has a much higher concentration of bespoke gin to alcohol and water providing a very smooth and full mouth-feel, this along with the extra juniper makes -ish unique and distinguisable.
Ish is housed in a stricking red bottle a with decadent looking Victorian font.
Ish comes from the suffix, symbolising British, stylish, morish...but also signifies the "Irresistable Scandalous Hallmark". Other messages scribed on the bottle; " Ish is an attitude" "bold yet stylish" "always provoking" "needs no excuses" "never apologises" "very brit" help portray the personality of -ish.
Ish is smooth with a brilliantly clean taste; the result of superior quality botanicals used in the distillation.
Nose: Intense juniper, rounded by earthy coriander and refreshing hints of citrus.
Palate: An initial sweetness from the orange, followed by a complex harmony of flavours. The juniper provides a desirable crisp dryness.
Conclusion: Elegant on the nose and well structured on the palate with sweet citrus notes

Each year the Miami University Alumni Association offers a limited edition ornament. The following is an overview of past ornaments.
Completed in 1924, Ogden Hall carries the name of George C. Ogden (1863), a Cincinnati physician and poet. Ogden's sister, Laura Ogden Whaling, made what was then the largest bequest in Miami's history to name the building and stipulated that it be located to the west of the school gymnasium. In order to meet Ms. Ogden's conditions without blocking Lewis Place's view of Slant Walk, the gymnasium—Herron Hall and later Van Voorhis Hall—had to be picked up and moved 522 feet to the east. Miami legend holds that, in order to meet another condition of the will, the university constructed an underground wall around Ogden Hall. at "wall" is actually the original foundation of old Herron Hall. Today, Ogden Hall remains a prominent fixture on the edge of Miami's main academic quad and connects to the popular Bell Tower Place dining hall.
Lewis Place, home to Miami's presidents since 1903, was built on High Street in 1839 by Romeo and Jane Lewis. The architecture of the house is reminiscent of Lewis' previous Florida home. In this home, Romeo's wife, Jane North Lewis, reared her nephew, Phillip North Moore (Miami 1870, Doctor of Laws 1920). As Jane cared for a number of other relatives, the home was often called "Saint's Rest."
After Jane's death in 1888, Phillip inherited the home. In 1903, he leased it rent-free to Miami for use as the president's home. After Phillip's death in 1929, his heirs sold Lewis Place to Miami, and it became the official president's home.
The house was remodeled in 1902, with a back porch added in 1951, remodeled again in 1965, and again in 1995 and 2006. As of 2015, 10 presidents and their families have resided at Lewis Place.
Miami University's Armstrong Student Center is a student dream more than a decade in the making that came to life in January 2014. Envisioned as the future of the Miami Experience, it was conceived by students and supported by alumni and friends for future generations of Miami students.
The efficient design involved renovating the former Gaskill and Rowan Halls and connecting them via a new central structure. The Armstrong Student Center's signature spaces included a three-story Bicentennial Rotunda featuring a three-dimensional Miami Seal, Slant Walk, Center for Student Engagement and Leadership (SEAL), Harry T. Wilks Theater, The Pavilion large-event space, The Commons dining area and welcoming Shade Family Room.
The Armstrong Student Center is named for 1961 Miami graduates Mike and Anne Armstrong, whose leadership gift provided a spark for the more than 11,000 alumni and friends who contributed to the effort.
Named for Miami University's first president and originally constructed to be the second women's residence hall on campus, Bishop Hall was built in 1911-12 and dedicated June 15,1912.
Robert Hamilton Bishop was a professor of history, logic and moral philosophy before serving as Miami's first president from 1824-1841. Following his resignation as president, Bishop continued to work for the University as a professor, and he is buried with his wife near the Arthur Conrad Formal Gardens.
In addition to serving as a women's residence hall on campus, portions of Bishop Hall were used as a hospital. When the influenza epidemic of 1918 hit, half of Miami's student population and a third of the faculty were said to have fallen ill within a few days. The female residents Bishop Hall were sent home at the time, and the entire building was used as a hospital to care for those affected.
The Honors Program was established at Miami in 1961, and Bishop Hall eventually would become the Honors Program residence hall and office in 1981, nearly 70 years after it was first built. Today, Bishop Hall houses upper-class students, and its location on Central Quad gives its residents convenient access to King Library as well as Bell Tower Place in Ogden Hall.
Ambassador John E. Dolibois '42, Miami University's first alumni secretary, dreamed of having a building primarily devoted to conducting official alumni business. In the October 1964 issue of Miami Alumnus, Dolibois appealed to this need for a suitable space to serve as a "visitor's headquarters"; at the time of publication, the alumni office was occupying Warfield Hall, where alumni records were stored in the basement and office supplies in the staircase wells.
While the then- vacant Lewis Place was considered as the aforementioned suitable space, new University president Phillip Shriver preferred the traditional home of Miami's former presidents for his own living quarters. It then was decided that the new alumni office would take up residence on a University-owned piece of land in the south corner of Oxford. In October 1965, the Board of Trustees approved construction of a two-story building on the corner of Chestnut Street and U.S. 27, pending successful completion of a $250,000 campaign.
Honorary alumnus William "Bill" Murstein, who never attended Miami, made an initial gift that moved construction from planning to implementation. A prominent business leader in the Cincinnati area, Murstein was known for his substantial contributions to a variety of worthwhile projects. To honor this commitment to constructing a new alumni center, the Board of Trustees voted to name the site the Murstein Alumni Center in February 1966.
Alumni operations officially moved into the Murstein Alumni Center in 1967 and have been using the facility for alumni affairs ever since. The legacy this building carries is demonstrative of the vital role Miami's alumni and friends play in shaping the University.
The Oxford Female Institute was chartered in 1849. Its original building dates to 1850 with significant additions in 1856, 1884, and 1888. The ballroom was added by Miami University in 1929 with monies raised by the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) in honor of First Lady Caroline Scott Harrison.
Caroline Scott graduated from the Oxford Female Institute where her father, The Reverend John Witherspoon Scott, was the first President. She met Benjamin Harrison while he was a college student in Cincinnati. He transferred to Miami in the 1850s and they married in 1853, one year after their graduations. Benjamin Harrison was elected President of the United States in 1888. Caroline Scott Harrison served as the first national DAR President while living in Washington, D.C.
The Oxford Female Institute and the Oxford Female College merged in 1867 and re-chartered as the Oxford College for Women in 1906. After closing in 1928, its main building was acquired by Miami and remodeled as a women's dormitory. It was during this renovation that the building's exterior was altered to its current Georgian style .For many years, the local chapter of the DAR met in the ballroom, and that tradition has been recently revived.
The restoration of this building not only preserves an historical landmark, but also provides Oxford and the surrounding area a theater, ballroom, meeting and classroom facilities as well as studios for area artists. The building now houses the Oxford Community Arts Center.
Miami Nation- Miami University: Partners in Learning Ornament (2008)
In 1972 Chief Forest Olds of the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma met Miami University President Phillip R. Shriver and a lasting connection was forged. Many officials from Student Affairs, Alumni Relations, and the Miami Nation have contributed to the unique relationship that has evolved.
The design, created by Miami Tribal artist Julie Olds, includes: the beautiful circular window from the Miami Tribal headquarters building; the crane representing the Myaamia people; and the diamond pattern which is prominent in traditional Miami ribbon work and design.
The Myaamia word neepwaantiinki, to learn from each other, aptly describes us as Partners in Learning. An Eagle feather represents the Nation; a Red Tail Hawk feather represents the University; and a red string binds the two together with trust and great respect.
We dedicate this ornament to the memory of Floyd Leonard (1925-2008), Chief of the Miami Tribe for more than 25 years, whose commitment to this relationship allowed it to grow to the extent that is witnessed in 2008. We are forever indebted to him.
Dolibois European Center (2007)
In 1968 Miami University opened a new Center in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. John E. Dolibois suggested his native Luxembourg as a location and helped establish the Miami University European Center. In 1988, the Board of Trustees of Miami University voted to change the name of the Center to the Miami University John E. Dolibois European Center (MUDEC) to honor U.S. Ambassador Dolibois for his outstanding service.
A-cat-and-a-rat. A-rat-and-a-cat. Eclectic Reader number one opened up to thousands of children the delights of the pictured page and the joys of the written word. McGuffey Hall stands as a memorial to this educational genius.
Hall Auditorium is named for the fifth president of Miami University, John W. Hall. Hall, a Presbyterian minister as were his four predecessors, was president of Miami during 1854-66.
Located on Campus Avenue, the building was completed in 1908. For eighteen years it was called either the Auditorium or the Administration Building. In September of 1926 it was named Benton Hall, after the twelfth president, and was so designated until 1969 when the Benton name was shifted to a new classroom building.
MacCracken was the son of a Miami professor, Rev. John S. MacCracken. He held degrees from Miami, Princeton, Wittenberg, and the Universities of Tübingen and Berlin. He taught in Ohio schools before serving as minister of the Oxford Presbyterian Church. He became chancellor of Pittsburgh University and later, vice chancellor and chancellor of New York University. While at NYU, a lifetime vision became a reality when he created the Hall of Fame for Great Americans.
MacCracken Hall's west wing was built in 1957 and the center and east sections added in 1961. It is one of the most photographed landmarks on Miami's campus and is used for residence and dining facilities.
The Upham Hall Arch was built in 1948 and named in honor of Dr. Alfred Horatio Upham. Upham was president of Miami during 1928-1945, after having been a student and a professor of English. Among his accomplishments are the words to the "Alma Mater" and sentimental "Old Miami." He died while in office on February 17, 1945, Miami University's Charter Day.
Miami legend says that "if you kiss your true love under the Upham Hall Arch, you will marry and the bond will never be broken." Hence, the Arch has become the site of many marriage proposals over the years.
Built by donations from the alumni, family and friends of Miami University, the chapel is a non-denominational gathering place for spiritual events. It was built with the intention that these spiritual activities round out the college education. The Chapel was dedicated on June 7, 1959 with a Sunday Baccalaureate service preceding the Monday Commencement.
President Millett called the chapel a beacon, reminding new generations that they must have a conscience as well as a career. In the narthex on the west wall are the words of John R. Simpson 1899, "Guide Us to Wisdom, Lead Us Toward the Light."
The Sesquicentennial Chapel stands in the heart of campus, located directly west of the Shriver Center. With four columns and triangular frame, its simple but classical exterior offers all who pass an invitation to meditation. Once inside, the small and humble sanctuary comforts and unites. It also serves as a popular location for the weddings of Miami students, alumni and friends.
The Beta Bells, more formally known as the Beta Theta Pi Campanile, were a gift to the University in 1939 from the Beta Theta Pi Fraternity on the occasion of the fraternity's celebration of the 100th anniversary of its founding on the Miami campus on August 8, 1839.
The bells were first heard at noon on August 8, 1939, when they were temporaily housed in the east tower of Harrison Hall (Old Main) awaiting construction of the bell tower. The tower was dedicated on May 17, 1941. The cornerstone was later turned around and re-carved to reflect the fraternity's centenary. Bronze tablets mounted at the base of the tower commemorate the presentation and dedication of the seal.
The Bells are pitched to ring the Westminster series of four notes for each quarter hour, with sixteen notes at the full hour followed by the striking of the hour on the largest bell. The tower is believed to have been the first Georgian brick standing bell tower.
Lewis Place, the spacious home of Miami's presidents since 1903, was built on High Street in 1838 by Romeo Lewis of Connecticut. The architecture of the house is reminiscent of Lewis' previous Florida plantation house. In this home, Romeo's wife, Jane North Lewis, reared her nephew, Phillip North Moore, (Miami 1870, Doctor of Laws 1920). As Jane cared for a number of other relatives, the home was often called "Saint's Rest." After Jane's death in 1888, Phillip inherited the home. In 1903, he leased it rent-free to Miami for use as a president's home. After Phillip's death in 1929, heirs sold Lewis Place to the state, and it became the official president's mansion. Remodeled in 1902 and 1965, with a back porch area was added in 1951. Presidents residing in Lewis Place, 1903-1992, include: Benton, Hughes, Upham, Hahne, Millett, Shriver, and Pearson.
Alumni Hall opened March 29, 1910 as the alumni library thanks to generous gifts to the university. Andrew Carnegie offered $40,000 if that amount could be matched by alumni and friends. The original building was 95 by 97 feet with a 70-foot high rotunda. The east wing, completed in 1924, contained a main reference room, reading room and reserve book room. The west wing was added in 1952. After construction of King Library in 1972, the building was renamed Alumni Hall and currently houses the architecture department, art/architecture library, university archives, and Alumni Hall stack storage.
Fisher Hall became part of Miami University in 1925, after serving as the Oxford Femal College from its dedication in 1856 until 1867 and as a sanitarium from 1882 until it became a Miami residence hall in 1926. It was used as a U.S. Navy training school during World War II. Fisher Hall is often remembered as the residence from which Ronald Tammen, a resident assistant, disappeared in 1953. Although declared unsafe for use as a residence hall in 1957, the lower floors were used by the Theatre Department until 1969. It was razed in 1978. In its place today stands the Timothy J. Marcum Conference Center, but it's said that the "ghost of Fisher Hall" still roams the Conrad Formal Gardens.
Old Main, the center of campus life for many decades, was known by several names during its existence. The original building was completed in 1816. Several additions were added before its final state was reached in 1898. In 1931 the building was officially renamed Harrison Hall after Benjamin Harrison '1852, the 23rd President of the United States. Old Main/Harrison Hall housed both Miami's administrative offices and classrooms. It was razed in 1958 to make room for the present Harrison Hall which was dedicated on May 9, 1959.

Analysis and Award Winners
Updated May 2017
We now have two Editors' Choice winners: the Stansport 2-Burner and Camp Chef Everest. The Stansport edged ahead in scoring, but it was too close to call just one The Best. Also, the Stansport may be discontinued soon, so grab it while you can.
Best Overall
Stansport 2-Burner
The Stansport 2-Burner wins the Editors' Choice Award, joining the reigning champion for two years running, the Camp Chef Everest. It was an incredibly close score, with the Stansport having slightly better performance in our simmering test, 5,000 more BTUs per burner. But, both this and the Everest are great which is why they both get top honors. The Stansport handled fine tuning and low cooking like a boss, boiled quickly, and had great wind resistance. Across the board, the Stansport performed fantastically, with high scores in every category we tested. Recently, Stansport announced that this stove will be discontinued: get it while you can or nab the Everest.
Excellent simmering
Fast boil time
Ignitor is hard to turn

Also One of The Best
Camp Chef Everest
For four years running, the Everest has been an Editors' Choice winner. This year, it's no longer the highest scoring stove because the Stansport is a little better at simmering and has more BTU's. That said, the performance of these stoves is so close and excellent, we give them both top honors. Note that the Everest is sometimes listed by its model name as the Camp Chef MS2HP.

Best Bang for the Buck on a Tight Budget
Coleman Butane Instastart
Retailing for a mere $30, the Coleman Butane Instastart performs like a champ. It only sports one burner, but you could buy two of them and still have only spent 60 bucks! This stove finished in eighth place out of 10 stoves tested, but that's primarily due to the fact that we tested some amazing stoves this year, so the competition was stiff. The Instastart is light and compact and absolutely held its own, scoring highest for ease of setup and tying for the highest score for packed size. It didn't have a very fast boiling time compared to the other stoves we tested, and scored lowest for group cooking since it only has one burner, but it's definitely a purchase someone counting every dollar could make without sacrificing quality.

Only one burner
No windscreen

Top Pick for Group Cooking
Camp Chef Pro 60
The Pro 60 was definitely the largest stove we tested, so it's no surprise it took the win for group cooking. With powerful burners that can be finessed down for extremely low simmering, combined with a windscreen and oxygen regulators for combating the breeze, as well as two large side tables that fold out for prep space, it's almost like you're cooking indoors in a real kitchen. The tradeoff for all this luxury is a hefty price tag and the fact that the stove weighs a whopping 47 pounds and has a bit more involved setup. However, if you find yourself on large group camping trips often and you have the capability to set up and stay a few days, this could very likely be the stove for you.
Fold-out side tables for prep

Top Pick for Expandability
Eureka Spire LX
We definitely needed a special award for the clever Eureka Spire LX. As far as fun added features that are available for the stoves we tested, this one takes the pancake. The Spire LX boasts a JetLink accessory port that allows the chef at hand to either connect another Eureka stove or a JetBoil and run it all off the same fuel source. No more waiting around for water to boil before you can start breakfast in earnest. With this setup, you can do it all quickly and easily, with a stove that performed well across the (test metric) board.
Good wind resistance
Easy to clean
Ability to attach another stove or JetBoil

Analysis and Test Results
There are several important questions to consider before buying. In a nutshell, you will want to start by considering whether a car camping stove (like the ones in this review) or a backpacking stove will better suit your needs. You should also think about how many people you typically need to cook for, how often you camp, and what the conditions of your favorite camping locations are (elevation, wind, etc). Addressing these questions will significantly improve the likelihood of being satisfied with your purchase. For a more in-depth look into these questions, check out our Buying Advice article.
Before diving into our Best-In-Class review, here's some additional information on the scoring criteria we used to evaluate each stove. Each performance metric was weighted based on importance in our effort to calculate the final scores. For example, the most important metric, "Time to Boil", has a weighting of 25 percent, while the metrics we've determined to be less important, like "Packed Size," are only weighted 10 percent. Weighting aside, breaking down the metrics in this way helps you decide which categories are most important to you and which product will ultimately best meet your needs. Simmering, wind resistance, group cooking, ease of care, and ease of setup were among the additional metrics we based our testing on.
Different Types
All the products we tested in this review are car camping stoves, which means they aren't the kind of cooking implement that you'd stuff into your backpack and head into the backcountry with. Instead, they are the kind of stoves that you pull out of your trunk and carry 20 feet to the nearest picnic table. If a backpacking stove is what you're interested in, be sure to check out The Best Backpacking Stove Review.
In this review, all the stoves we tested had two burners except for the Coleman Butane Instastart, which only has one. We reviewed a plethora of tabletop models, such as the Primus Kinjia and the Coleman Triton, as well as a couple of large free-standing models, such as the Stansport Outdoor Stove. We even tested a stove that allows you to hook up and run another stove or JetBoil off the same fuel source, the Eureka Spire LX. Please see our Buying Advice guide for more information on what to look for if you're cooking for large groups, have limited packing space, or are buying a camping stove for the first time.
Criteria for Evaluation
Check out the chart below to see where each camp stove in our review ranked in Overall Performance.
Time to Boil
Time to boil was the most heavily weighted metric we used to rate the products in this review. Generally speaking, the more power a model has, the better it boils, and the more efficient of a cooking experience one would (hopefully) have. What became apparent during our boil test, however, is that BTU ratings — surprise! — weren't everything.
We had a tie for first place between the Stansport 2-Burner and the Camp Chef Everest. Both stoves boiled a quart of 60-degree water in two and a half minutes and a quart of 50-degree water on a breezy day in three and a half minutes. The Stansport 2 Burner has two 25,000 BTU burners and the Camp Chef Everest has two 20,000 BTU burners. Despite the fact that the Camp Chef Pro 60 has 30,000 BTU burners and the Stansport Outdoor Stove boasts 35,000 BTU burners, they just couldn't boil as fast (though the Pro 60 was close if there was no wind present).
The large 5" burners on the Pro 60 and the 5.5" burners on the Stansport Outdoor were surrounded by so much cooking surface area that they were much more easily affected by the wind. The flame is also physically farther away from the cookware on these large stoves. The compact design of the Stansport 2-Burner and the Camp Chef Everest clearly made a difference with wind protection, allowing for much faster boil times.
The slowest contender in the boil test was the Coleman Butane Instastart. With only one 7,650 BTU burner and no wind guard, this didn't come as much of a surprise. A simple aluminum windscreen would greatly help the efficiency of this model. It's a cheap addition that would easily fit inside the handy case that comes with the stove. And it's worth mentioning that despite this stove coming in at the bottom of the pack for this test, it still boiled a quart of 60-degree water with no wind in just 5 minutes and a quart of 50-degree water on a cooler, breezier day in 7.25 minutes. The Coleman Triton and the Primus Onja both struggled to boil water efficiently and came in near the bottom of our fleet.
All our boil tests were conducted at elevations of just over 5,000 feet.
Simmering Ability
Often overlooked in favor of BTU power, simmering ability significantly contributes to the usability and functionality of a camping stove. The ability for a stove to be proficient at low heat also means better fuel efficiency, which equates to more bang for your buck over the long term. In the simmering category, our Editors' Choice, the Stansport 2-Burner, took the win, just barely beating out the reigning champ, the Camp Chef Everest. The flame power on this Stansport is impressive for its compact size, with only 5,000 fewer BTUs per burner than the giant Camp Chef Pro 60. But unlike the larger models we tested, the Stansport 2-Burner was able to tame down its power and simmer with finesse and grace. We were able to slow cook sauces, and fry eggs easily and with confidence, much like you would on a gas range at home.
The stove with the poorest simmering capability by far was the Coleman Hyperflame Fyrecadet. This stove ran hot hot hot! We were a bit surprised by this because you can actually turn the flame down very low (to the point it's hard to tell if it's even still on), but the stove still cooks hard and fast. It also didn't seem to ever cook evenly, despite the wide sturdy burners. During one testing session we tried to cook raw sausage patties and ended up with a hard char on the outside of raw meat and a pan so burnt it required an extended soak to get clean.
Group Cooking
When it comes to cooking for a crowd, bigger is definitely better. So it's no surprise that the Camp Chef Pro 60 was our clear winner in this category. With two large 30,000 BTU burners and a fold-out prep table on each side, there's by far enough space and power on this stove to meet all your cooking needs. The cooktop over the two burners is a continuous grate, making it easy to shuffle around pots and pans of any and all sizes.
The grate is also tight enough to accommodate very small cookware like a bialetti (a small stove-top coffee maker) or a tiny pot. The side trays are really what sets this stove apart for group cooking, as they provide invaluable space for prep, and storage while cooking. If you find yourself frequently camping and cooking with large groups, this stove is highly recommended. Otherwise, the weight, size, and price of this model probably don't make sense, and you should go with a more compact model.
Another group cooking option is to use an affordable one-burner like the Coleman Instastart, along with a compact two-burner of your choice. This allows two or more people to cook at once and will likely take up less space in your vehicle during transport. By itself, the Instastart scored the lowest in the group cooking category, as it has only one burner. But with a price of just $29.99, it's a fantastic addition to own and you won't end up paying hundreds of dollars to lug around a giant stove. If you have a bigger group, bring it; if you don't, you can leave it at home!
The Eureka Spire LX is another compact option with lots of potential for group cooking. With the additional purchase of a JetLink Accessory Hose, you can hook up another Eureka stove and run both of them off the same fuel source, literally doubling your available cooking area. You can alternatively purchase the Luna Satellite Burner that allows you to attach a JetBoil. Neither of these are cheap options however, with the JetLink hose retailing for $39.95, and the Luna Burner for $59.95 (not including the JetBoil Flash itself).
Ease of Setup
While car camping stoves are typically much easier to set up than their backpacking counterparts, some are more user-friendly than others. We chose the Coleman Butane Instastart as the winner in this category in no small part because the directions for how to get it up and running are printed right on the lid. This makes it super easy for a new user to be able to jump in and help out if needed. And all the stove requires for setup is placing the butane canister in the fuel compartment properly, flipping a switch to lock it into place, and then turning the knob all the way past high to self-ignite. Very fast and easy.
A close second in this category was the Primus Kinjia. The Kinjia was the only stove we tested that had an already attached fuel hose; this stove required no fussing with screwing a metal elbow into place, which is nice, especially if you have cold fingers! It comes with a special stand to prop up the fuel bottle at the correct angle after you screw it into the hose. The nice thing about this is that you can set the fuel bottle wherever you'd like within the bounds of the hose. The potential issue is that it's a separate and important piece that could get lost.
The size of the Camp Chef Pro 60 made it the most involved stove to set up. It has multiple parts that come separately (propane hose, leg stabilizer, and windscreen) and it's big and bulky. The 47-pound stove has to be flipped over in order to fold out and secure the legs. The manufacturer recommends tightening the hose for the propane tank with a wrench, which isn't included. On top of this, we had an issue with one of the barrel nuts (that connects the side tray table) falling out. Reattaching this barrel nut requires not one, but two Allen wrenches. Basically, there is a lot to potentially contend with here. If you want a stove of similar size that's much easier to set up, consider the Stansport Outdoor Stove instead.
Ease of Care
Most good car camping stoves are engineered with the assumption that they are going to get filthy and that you aren't going to want to do anything about it right away. What this means is that they tend to be pretty low maintenance and easy to clean. That said, we did notice some big differences between the various models. By far the most low-maintenance stove was the Stansport Outdoor Stove. Its construction is such that beneath the cooking grate only the burners stand in the way of food hitting the ground. So when, inevitably, food flies out of your skillet, it will hit the ground instead of collecting at the bottom of your stove. This aspect could potentially be seen as a negative if you're camping in a place like Yosemite, where the less food to hit the ground, the better. Additionally, the entire stove is painted black, the most filth friendly color.
The Camp Chef Pro 60 was one of the most involved models to clean. Unlike the Stansport Outdoor, there is a thin metal sheet beneath the cooking grate and burners that prevents food spills from landing on the ground. Food bits accumulate here until you unscrew a special hook on the left side and remove the grate (it cannot just be lifted out like most two-burner stoves). Once you've done this, everything is accessible and easy to clean, but it's a bit of a pesky step.
At the bottom of the pack for Ease of Care was the Primus Onja. While this stove is cute as a button, it has lots of bells and whistles that do not appear to be as durable as we would have liked. The base of the stove is covered in black fabric that, though removable via tons of Velcro, is bound to get messed up and possibly burned, given enough time. On top of that, there is a removable shoulder strap and a non-removable packing strap that holds in an oak cutting board — a cool feature for sure, but both of these things get dirty and stretched out quickly, as well as often being in the way. Finally, the paint around the burners is white — after our very first use, the paint was irreparably burned black from the heat of the burners.
Wind Resistance
Wind resistance is tricky to test, as you can't exactly order up the same wind for every cooking experience. And when it does crop up, it can significantly interfere with the performance of a stove. Even the smallest bit of wind can drastically effect a flame and its efficiency. What became really clear for us in assessing this metric is that, despite the 60-70,000 BTUs available on our bigger models, wind resistance suffered due to a lack of adequate wind protection from, primarily, the large amount of physical space between the cookware and the burners. Our top two performers in this category, the Stansport 2-Burner and the Camp Chef Everest, had the essential balance of high BTUs (50,000 and 40,000 respectively), as well as a compact design.
Both the Coleman Instastart and the Primus Onja really struggled in this department. These are the stoves with the lowest BTUs and neither has a windscreen, so it doesn't come as much of a surprise. One of the tests we gave the stoves in order to attempt to measure wind in a more controlled manner, was to set up a box fan 24 inches to the side of each stove, and run it continuously on low — while trying to boil water. The Instastart took a whopping 21.5 minutes to complete the task and we gave up on the Primus Onja after 27 minutes and waning fuel.
At least in the case of the Coleman Instastart you could supplement your own windscreen, but with the funky tall and narrow design of the Primus Onja, this isn't nearly as feasible. Others that struggled with this test were the the Coleman Triton, clocking in at 15 minutes, and the Stansport Outdoor at 9.5 minutes. All of the other stoves made it through the box fan test in 8.5 minutes or less, with the Camp Chef Everest and Stansport 2-Burner hardly being phased, taking only 15 to 60 seconds longer than without the fan (remember however, that the fan was set up on the side — results would be different for wind coming from the front, or wind that was constantly changing directions).
Packed Size
Our winners for packed size were the Coleman Instastart and the Primus Kinjia, as noted in the chart below.
The Instastart comes with a handy lightweight plastic suitcase, measuring 14.25 x 12 x 4.5 inches, while the sleek and slim Kinjia design is a mere 18.5 x 11.75 x 3.5 inches. Both have obvious accessible handles and are just plain easy to store away in your car and carry around.
No shocker, the giant Camp Chef Pro 60 scored the lowest on packed size. Disassembled, this stove's dimensions are 33 x 14.5 x 9.5 inches. The windscreen and leg stabilizer do not pack inside the stove, so these items have to be transported separately. Add in the fact that this stove weighs 47 pounds, and you don't have the most easily transportable stove. But hey, you'll burn off a few calories lugging it around before you cook all that food.
There are many different accessories to go with camp stoves, from cookwear to griddle attachments. Some that we recommend looking into are the Camp Table with Legs 32 and the Camp Chef Two Burner Carry Bag. A camp table can come in very handy if you are planning on cooking up an awesome meal away from the comforts of a picnic table. And a carrying case helps keep everything compact and in one location, while also keeping it all protected.
Check out the Camp Chef Deluxe Outdoor Oven or the Stansport Steel Outdoor Stove and Oven if you want to bake cinnamon rolls or cookies while the rest of your meal cooks (no, we're not kidding!), as well as the various grills and griddles available from Camp Chef that you can add to the top of the Camp Chef Pro 60.
As mentioned above, Eureka has some very cool accessories, namely the Jetlink Hose and the Luna Satellite Burner, add-ons that allow you to hook up another stove or a JetBoil and run it all off the same fuel source.
The Coleman Hyperflame Fyrecadet trademarked Swaptop design allows you to unclip the burner grate it comes with and replace it with any other Swaptop accessory, such as the Coleman Roadtrip Swaptop Cast Iron Griddle. And Primus makes some lovely, though not cheap, utensil sets such as the Primus Campfire Prep Set and the Primus Campfire Cutting Set.
With a large assortment of camp stoves on the market to choose from, making a final decision about what type to buy is no easy task. Deciding how many burners you want, whether you want a free-standing or table top design, what potential accessories you may want to add to your set up all these choices depend on the number of people you plan to camp with and cook for, the available packing space in your vehicle, the cookware you plan to use, and your basic needs as a camp chef. Hopefully our thorough testing will help you sort through the options and find the stove that is best for you and your needs. If you still need guidance on how to choose, please read through our Buying Advice article.

News Details
SUPERFLEX, a Danish collective founded in 1993, employs a clean, rigorous approachreminiscent of a factory or Alexandrian libraryto conduct a wide-ranging investigation of the didactic traces of 20th-century culture. Rather than artworks, they call their projects "tools," designed to be actively used and reused. "Modern Times, Forever," the collective's most recent Los Angeles exhibition, dealt with large themes that could be considered relevant to all humanity, but at the same time, the show was saturated with the weight of European history and angst. Seeing it in the face of concurrent Pacific Standard Time California art-mania seemed outright exotic.
Blackout (2009) (made with Simon Starling) consisted of an extremely dim set of lamps that were originally designed to get around blackout prohibitions in Copenhagen during WWII. This type of lamp, which doesn't emit any light upwards, was used to keep Copenhagen's Tivoli Gardens amusement park open at night. In the midst of this dim light was a thick catalog documenting the production of these lamps for a 2009 exhibition in Denmark; one lamp was made each day, eventually lighting the entire exhibition hall. The images in the catalog were as dark as their surroundings. After adjusting one's eyes in 1301PE, one could barely make out the shadowy images of mechanical parts, a dark gallery space, and people at work.
In the next room, a screening of the exhibition's eponymous work Modern Times Forever (2011) took up an entire wall. Touted as the longest film ever made, the 240-hour long movie is a 3-D animation depicting Helsinki's iconic Stora Enso building (known as the "Sugar Cube") slowly decaying. Modernist buildings are never supposed to become ruins, and this installation, which originally took place on the street next to the actual Stora Enso building, evinces a feeling of futuristic unease. Hundreds of years go by each day as the Modernist wonder feels the effects of weather and time.
The friendlier Experience Climate Change as an Animal (2009) is a series of graphic posters advertising "Hypnosis Group Sessions" to take place in the future, between 2012 and 2050 in which participants will be hypnotized to perceive climate change as a mammoth, a mosquito, a jellyfish, eagle and polar bear. Each animal's session takes place in a city perhaps appropriate, like the jellyfish in Brazil, or bizarre, like the mammoth in Zanzibar.
All of these works possessed a strangely dislocated sense of purity and idealism. The monumental ambition of the film Modern Times Forever recalled some of Warhol's films, like Empire (1964), but was thoroughly erased of that artist's cheeky pop sensibility. The socially engaged aspects of the other two "tools" certainly felt contemporary, but again their simplicity and earnestness made it feel as though the complicating influence of artists like Dan Graham or Mike Kelley, or writers like Philip K. Dick, never happened. It's eerie, but given SUPERFLEX's highly progressive global practice, that was probably part of the plan.

The NFL called off last night's Eagles-Vikings game in Philadelphia, but not everyone was in agreement. And that includes the man who holds Pennsylvania's highest elected office.
Said Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell to KYW-TV of postponing the game until Tuesday: "This is football; football's played in bad weather. I think the fans would have gotten there, the subways work and the major arteries are still open and other fans would have stayed home. But you play football regardless of the weather."
And when asked how Vince Lombardi would have reacted to such news the governor said: "He'd be mocking us."
On NBC, Cris Collinsworth also wondered whether this could put the NFL in a corner if a similar storm hits when the New York-New Jersey Super Bowl is held in 2014.
Said Collinsworth: "My question is, what is the precedent that comes out of this? What do we take forward? Does this now mean that every time there is a forecast for 8-10 inches of snow we cancel the game, we don't play playoff games, potentially, we don't play in Giants Stadium (for the Super Bowl)? . . . Going forward, I guess, the cities involved have some control over whether football games are going to be played or not."
What do you say? Was it an over-reaction, or can there never be too much concern for public safety?
Now then, let's roll out today's game balls for recommended reading, conversation starters and significant fluff that may have surfaced while you were sleeping.
The 49ers have had enough of Mike Singletary.
The Tim Tebow legend has been launched in Denver. Maybe they'll rename the Rockies for him.
The Carolina Panthers win . . . the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft.
The NFL canceled in Philadelphia, but the NHL declined to postpone the Islanders game in New York. The Islanders won, but barely 3,000 showed up.
Mark Prior isn't bitter, and thinks he could become a Yankee.
Bud Greenspan, who shaped the way we view the Olympics, is dead at the age of 84.
Might the Titans get rid of both Vince Young and Jeff Fisher?
And while you're battling the snow, be aware there's a 100-year-old skiing champion out there.

Washington: Casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, who along with his wife ploughed more than $US92 million into efforts to help mostly losing candidates in the 2012 elections, is undertaking a new strategy for 2016 - to tap his fortune on behalf of a more mainstream Republican with a clear shot to win the White House, according to people familiar with his thinking.
In 2012, Sheldon and Miriam Adelson spent so much of their money on long-shot candidate Newt Gingrich they helped extend an ugly intra-party fight that left the eventual nominee, Mitt Romney, severely bruised by the time he faced US President Barack Obama in the general election.
This time, the Adelsons are plotting their investments based not on personal loyalty, but on a much more strategic aim: to help select a Republican nominee they believe will have broad appeal to an increasingly diverse national electorate.
The change in attitude comes amid early jockeying by a lengthy list of aspiring Republican presidential contenders to win the affections of the billionaire, who is in the early stages of assessing the field.
"The bar for support is going to be much higher," said Andy Abboud, Adelson's top political adviser and an executive at the Adelson-run Las Vegas Sands Corp. He added, "There's going to be a lot more scrutiny."
This strategy would favour more established 2016 hopefuls such as former Florida governor Jeb Bush, New Jersey governor Chris Christie, Wisconsin governor Scott Walker and Ohio governor John Kasich. All four descended this week on Adelson's luxury hotel in Las Vegas, the Venetian, for an important step in what some are calling the "Sheldon Primary".
Officially, the potential 2016 candidates will be at the hotel for the meeting of the Republican Jewish Coalition, but Adelson was also scheduled to hold casual one-on-one chats - over coffee, at dinner or in his private office - with the prospective candidates.
Victor Chaltiel, a GOP donor and an Adelson friend who sits on the board of Las Vegas Sands, said at this early stage in the 2016 sweepstakes, Adelson is "neutral" and has his eye on a number of potential candidates, including Bush and Christie.
"He doesn't want a crazy extremist to be the nominee," Chaltiel said. "He wants someone who has the chance to win the election, who is reasonable in his positions, who has convictions but is not totally crazy."
Chaltiel said Adelson is concerned about the impact the George Washington Bridge traffic scandal in New Jersey has had on Christie's political image. He also said Adelson admires Bush and believes he has the unique potential to do what Romney could not: win over a large number of non-white voters. Bush, whose wife is Mexican-American, speaks fluent Spanish.
Adelson's approach in evaluating the next batch of candidates has significant implications not just for those vying for his support, but also for the Republican Party as a whole.
In 2012, the Adelsons emerged - perhaps more than any other donors - as potent symbols of the remade campaign-finance landscape, in which a small handful of the ultra wealthy could alter the trajectory of a race. While other conservative donors, such as the industrialist brothers Charles and David Koch, can inject substantial financial firepower into campaigns, Adelson is perhaps the most highly sought-after because of his willingness to dip into his personal fortune to back candidate-specific super political action committees (PACs).
The $US15 million the Adelsons gave to Winning Our Future, the pro-Gingrich super PAC, financed a brutal television ad campaign against Romney. Once Gingrich dropped out of the race, the Adelsons embraced Romney and poured $US30 million into the leading pro-Romney super PAC, Restore Our Future. In all, the couple reported giving $US92.8 million to super PACs in 2012, making them by far the biggest individual donors of the cycle, based on money that gets reported to the Federal Election Commission, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics.
The Adelsons also reportedly donated tens of millions of dollars to politically active non-profit organisations, including Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS, as well as to groups affiliated with the Koch-backed political network, which do not disclose their donors.
Adelson, who is worth an estimated $US37.9 billion, according to Bloomberg, is driven by what he has said he sees as Obama's socialist agenda. He is a fierce opponent of organised labor, is currently embroiled in a fight to ban online gambling and is a staunch supporter of Israel.
He has a personal friendship with one possible candidate: former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee who he has called "a great person, a great American and a great Zionist". But it remains to be seen whether their friendship would translate into financial support should Huckabee run.

In Reply to: RE: your Sony XA5400ES does the same thing... posted by Jim Pearce on February 05, 2017 at 13:03:15
Jim The excellent Sony XA5400ES is a mch SACD player, whilst the Marantz SA-10 like the previous obese SA-7S1 is Stereo only.
Follow Ups:
Presumably your Sony does a very good job with CDs using this strategy.
So the 5400 converts PCM to DSD on CDs?
I've never heard that before.
I like my 5400 on SACD, but it's thin and bright on CDs, not as good as XA7 CD player.
But, that being said, I love my HAP Z1 in Full-Sony Mode:
DSEE Auto, Remastering Engine On, Precision Upsampling.
It sounds much better than Mytek 192/DSD or Lampi Euforia, in direct comparison.
Sony's new Portable stuff has newer technology, I hope there is a Z2 in the near future
that uses it.
Yes, definitely oldmkvi: have a look at Kal's review of your Sony: http://www.stereophile.com/content/music-round-36-page-2#Exdjij4SPkvsOMgD.97 .
These things are always somewhat taste and system dependent. Of the three players that aspire to reference quality that I've owned and had in my current system: the Marantz SA-14, Esoteric DV-50 and Oppo bdp-95, none have employed this conversion to DSD. But my brother's Meridian 208 outperformed all three for CD, to the best of my memory, except for the Oppo with HDCD - where the Oppo is outstanding. Of these three players I liked the Marantz the least: not only did it take up extra space in my rack but it was overly warm relative to my system and taste. But knowing Marantz I'd be surprised if the new player doesn't sound "warm and liquid" as well, regardless of the "new" DAC technology.
My brother now prefers the Bryston bda-3 DAC, driven by the Meridian. While Bryston massively oversamples the PCM to 384/32 they keep DSD and PCM conversion totally separate "to avoid conversion", so that playback is "bit perfect" to the original media. Personally I've developed a resistance to these marketing claims based on competing technologies.
It will be interesting to hear if the latest Marantz 1 bit dac is any better than the previous one, however as I have already posted I am not interested in Stereo only SACD players.
Right, so there's no reason to keep posting about 2 Ch equipment...
My 5400 does not sound thin & bright on Cds, it is excellent as in the first Hi-Fi Choice review by Alvin Gold

By Brad Zimanek, Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser
HOOVER, Ala. –- First-year Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin was the first coach to step to the microphone Tuesday at the Southeastern Conference Football media days and knows the Aggies will quickly be indoctrinated in their first season in the league.
"Do you know how many times that people have said to me that you are going to play the last six defending national champions?" Sumlin said.
Actually, it's only four teams that represent the six titles -– Alabama (2009 and '11), Auburn (2010), LSU (2007) and Florida (2006 and '08).
"It's a pretty damn hard league," Sumlin said.
Texas A&M hosts Florida on Sept. 8 and LSU on Oct. 20 and travels to Auburn on Oct. 27 and Alabama on Nov. 10.
"There is no doubt our fans our extremely excited," Sumlin said. "It's a big deal."
Sumlin is known as an offensive coach and had Houston on the verge of a BCS game last yar. What does he think the Aggies need to do to succeed now?
"We need to be bigger and faster against SEC defenses," Sumlin said. "We have been able to adapt and do things at Houston and other places. I've been able to utilize our personnel."

Catholic learning sessions to start in Pittsburgh
The Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh expects 6,000 educators in town this week for the 2014 National Catholic Educational Association convention.
Washington Archbishop Cardinal Donald Wuerl, who grew up in Mt. Washington and was bishop here from 1988 to 2006, will top the list of speakers on Tuesday through Thursday in the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, Downtown. Pittsburgh Bishop David Zubik will attend.
Michael Latusek, superintendent and acting secretary of education for the diocese, said students and teachers trickled in and out of the convention center all weekend setting up school banners, stuffing gift bags, arranging meeting space and hanging posters spotlighting the diocese's high-achieving students.
"It's been a yearlong planning process for us, so it's so nice that the weather has worked out," Latusek said. "We're hoping Pittsburgh and the diocese make a nice impression."
Locals will offer tours of the Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic High School in Cranberry while educators get their pick among dozens of programs designed to blend the science of teaching with the mission of the church.
Sessions will address reading techniques, Montessori teaching, a Christ-centered approach to bullying, engaging parents, implementing new technology and increasing enrollment, among other topics.
The diocese is down about 800 students this year from last, when enrollment was about 21,000 in preschool to 12th grade.
Tuition is up across the diocese, which operates more than 100 schools in Western Pennsylvania. Diocese administrators from Allentown, the only diocese in the state where enrollment grew, will speak.
"We've got a game plan and scripts for every occasion," Latusek said.

The National Theatre's multi-award-winning production of War Horse, has been seen by over 4 million people worldwide since its premiere at the National Theatre in 2007. On Thursday 27 February the performance will be broadcast live to Theatr Mwldan for the very first time from its home at the New London Theatre in the West End as part of National Theatre Live.

A triumph of theatricality – The Observer
Based on the novel by Michael Morpurgo, War Horse is the powerful story of a young boy called Albert and his beloved horse, Joey, who has been requisitioned to fight for the British in World War I. Caught in enemy crossfire, Joey ends up serving on both sides during the war before landing in No Man's Land, while Albert, not old enough to enlist, embarks on a treacherous mission to find his horse and bring him home. A remarkable tale of courage, loyalty and friendship, War Horse features ground-breaking puppetry work by South Africa's Handspring Puppet Company, which brings breathing and galloping horses to life on stage.
Absolutely guaranteed to move the heart – Sunday Express
War Horse is currently celebrating its sixth year on the London stage and is now on a tour of the UK and Ireland.

On new Milwaukee friends, brats and drinking
Making friends in a new town can be difficult. I am not saying Milwaukeeans are standoffish but they definitely run in cliques. Breaking into one of these social circles can be difficult but once you're in, you're in.
Our friends The Colonel and Ms. Red seem to be a center for social activity. As I've said before, everyone has a nickname. It was at one of their notorious "Dinghy Parties" we got out first invite to a party outside of our current new Milwaukee social circle, which consisted of Win the bartender at The Highbury (he also works his magic at Club Garibaldi), MF Lee, Jim, Silky Pete and Bernard.
But, back to the party invite. Of course this party was a brat party so we ventured out of Bay View to the land of dragons – that's Bay View speak for anything south of Morgan Avenue or west of Howell.
This being my first brat party, I was very excited – I mean what does one wear to such an occasion? We arrived and the place was packed. We were greeted with hugs and brats – so there's one catch here: I don't eat pig (pigs are smart, Google it) – but nonetheless we had fun and we finally felt like we made some in roads into the social scene of Milwaukee. Guess it's all about the brats. Or, of course, as I like brats.
Event socializing in Milwaukee is the best – be it the Bay View Bash, tailgating at a Brewers game – it's something you just don't do at a Yankees game – or checking out some local music (something near and dear to my heart).
You Milwaukeeans indeed live by the creed – go big or go home! Be it a beer chaser with your Bloody Mary, which also includes a beef stick, a shot of Powers with your beer or a roll of the dice for who buys the next shot.
You, wonderful Milwaukeeans, put the D in drinking. All of which will be explored in another column coming very soon. Until then, cheers.Read more...

The best thing about Boatwerks Restaurant in Holland is the view. They are located on Lake Macatawa, next to Kollen Park, about 35 minutes from our inn. Their food is good, service-also good, but we go there for the view. This visit was in April so it was too cold for seating on the deck, but when it warms up, this is the best place to be if you like water:
The service has always been good, the atmosphere is nautical (what else?) in a speedboat/waterskiing kind of way. The food quality has really improved. We used to recommend this place for lunch only, but now dinner would be good as well.
We had a sampler of appetizers due to our tight schedule, very good. The Asian sauce-kind of a combination Hoisin and duck sauce-went well with everything.

Army Sex Offender on Duty in Texas
Florida Times-Union | August 31, 2007Though a judge ordered him supervised by Florida probation officials, a registered Nassau County sex offender has left the state, courtesy of the Army.
A month after pleading guilty to lewd and lascivious conduct with a teenage girl, Spc. Shawn Stacy Sapp, 38, is back on duty as a helicopter mechanic at Fort Hood, Texas. Officers there reviewed his charges and determined he was "retainable in the U.S. Army," court documents show.
"I just find it hard to believe that they would have convicted sex offenders in the military. We can't be that desperate," said Assistant State Attorney Jonathan Sacks, one of two Nassau prosecutors who worked on Sapp's case.
A captain and a first sergeant at Fort Hood who were involved in the decision to retain Sapp didn't return phone calls Monday afternoon.
Sapp will be supervised by the Texas Department of Corrections under an arrangement with Florida, Florida corrections spokeswoman Jo Ellyn Rackleff said. Circuit Judge Robert Foster ordered that Sapp not be deployed overseas, Rackleff said.
Sapp was in Fernandina Beach on leave when his crime occurred in 2003, Rackleff said. She said he was arrested in Texas in 2005 after returning from overseas deployment and extradited to Florida. He was in jail for nearly two years before reaching the plea deal, Sacks said.
Initially he was charged with one count of lewd and lascivious conduct and four counts of sexual battery involving a minor. Prosecutors dropped the sexual battery counts under the plea agreement.
His attorney, Teresa Sopp, couldn't be reached for comment Monday.
Foster sentenced him July 17 to 689 days time served and three years of probation, and Sapp was required to register as a sex offender. Florida's sex offender registry lists his location as Bell County, Texas, and says he notified the Florida Department of Law Enforcement about that address Aug. 10.
Sacks said Sopp presented a letter to the court in early August from Capt. Chad Corrigan, Sapp's commanding officer at Fort Hood.
"Upon review of the charges ... Shawn S. Sapp has been determined retainable in the U.S. Army," Corrigan wrote. "Service member is still on active duty."
Sapp isn't listed on the Texas sex offender registry.
