City Living: South Beach is Staten Island's quiet oasis by the sea
Tucked behind the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, the Staten Island waterfront neighborhood of South Beach offers a stunning year-round view and a quiet suburban feel.
The area, which sits on the boroughs eastern shore, is synonymous with the Arrochar neighborhood the two are usually paired by locals and identified as one area.
South Beach's namesake is the local stretch of sand, the welcome mat of Staten Island, frequented by locals but still somewhat unknown by many New Yorkers. According to visitstatenisland.com, since the 19th century the nearly 2-mile beach served as a hotspot for ocean lovers who rented bungalows by the boardwalk and took advantage of the now-vanished amusement rides.
The Franklin D. Roosevelt Boardwalk, once known as "The Riviera of New York City," offers breathtaking day and night views of the Verrazano and Hoffman Island. The beach boasts a family-friendly vibe with fountains, playing fields, and summertime events like movie nights, festivals and concerts.
"It's a beautiful area where people raise their families, said Joe McAllister, president of the South Beach Civic Association and a resident of 30 years who would often visit as a kid. "Crime is low and theres caring people."
He loves the quality of life he gets in South Beach.
"The streets are small; there's not a lot of speeding cars racing up and down," he said. "And the housing and residents are diverse."
The beach and accessibility is a plus for resident Maurice Asperti, the general manager at the circa 1921 Basilio Inn restaurant on Galesville Court.
"I have the bridge which is 5 minutes away by car if I need to get to Brooklyn," he said of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
But besides the access and his business, the people keep him here.
"Everybody knows each other. In the morning I go down and play bocce with the old, Italian guys who were born and raised here, he said. Its the nostalgia. Its a piece of Americana."
The area is reminiscent of a small town as much of it has remained unchanged for decades. Bungalows, Tudors and Queen Anne-style homes abound along the small streets though in recent years, townhouses and McMansions have sprung up on some blocks, notably on Father Capodanno Boulevard and Sand Lane.
Short roads like Nugen Avenue, Andrews Street, Appleby Avenue and Railroad Avenue, where the now uprooted Staten Island Railway used to run, add to the nabes sleepy and almost forgotten feel.
Its not boisterous, its very quiet, said Mary Shalo, a 96-year-old resident and Staten Island native who moved to South Beach 50 years ago. Its an ideal neighborhood.
Many small businesses dot the area. Services from doctors offices and pharmacies to hair salons are nestled among homes on some streets as well as on commercial corridors like McClean Avenue and Olympia Boulevard.
Ethnic spots like the specialty market Polish Delicious and La Canasta, a Mexican bakery, both on Sand Lane, reflect the changing demographic of the neighborhood which, according to McAllister, used to be predominantly Italian, but is now mixed with Russians, Irish, Polish and Mexican residents.
Though full of mom-and-pop joints, South Beach lacks in retail. Residents visit the Staten Island Mall in New Springville to shop for apparel or footwear. McAllister said the community pushed for a retail complex on Father Capodanno Boulevard years ago, however townhouses were built instead.
But residents are happy without big box stores, he said.
The nightlife and entertainment scene is also quiet here. McAllister said there were proposals for bars in the past but the civic and community board voted against it.
If its something nice we want it, but if its going to promote rowdiness we dont want it, he said.
But where south beach lacks in entertainment and shopping, it makes up for in accessibility and convenience. Thanks to the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, residents can quickly commute into Brooklyn and Manhattan. Buses shuttle residents around the island and to the St. Georges Ferry Terminal while expresses drive into Manhattan. The Staten Island Expressway gets residents to the Goethals Bridge.
Its the best for transportation to get to the city. This area is better compared to other parts of the island, McAllister said. Theyre all good areas in their own ways but compared to the pluses we have here in South Beach -- the beach, transportation and the housing -- other parts cant compare.

Wide World of Webcomics: The Futuristic DICEBOX Part 2
Our two-part interview with Jenn Manley Lee, creator of the acclaimed webcomic Dicebox (www.dicebox.net) concludes today. [Click Here for Part One!] In this installment, Lee talks about the major influences on Dicebox, the future of her universe, and more.Newsrama: Jenn, what's been the most interesting/gratifying reactions you've had to Dicebox over the years?
Jenn Manley Lee: How about mystifying? There's a space ship crash I decided not to show and I've never heard the end of it. I've gotten approval, criticism and confusion. Same for the fight leading up to said crash, which I also chose not to show directly.
Why did I decide not to show the crash and it causes? First, there's the matter of the pages it would have taken and how any satisfying build-up to the crash would actually drag down what was already a slow-paced story.
But more importantly, having the crash just happen as a matter of course, as what would just happen if you put Griffen and Molly and Donny and Rande together in an enclosed, cracked me up.
Now, if I could draw violence like Frank Quitely... Then I might have indulged in a good old crash and explosion. But really, what does depicting the actual crash add? (Unless you're Frank Quitely.) And how many depictions of crash landing do folks exclaim about and say, "That really added to the story!" (Again, excepting Frank Quitely. Or Yukito Kishiro.)
I do understand why people might get annoyed at me for not delivering the goods, as it were. Somewhere along the way, science fiction became to mean an action-adventure story.
The first book, Wander, certainly is not. It's a meandering slice-of-life story driven by conversation and relationships instead of plot, with the occasional fistfight and sex scene. I am laying groundwork for the other three books, giving myself a working norm to contrast with.Nrama: How do you feel you've evolved as a writer and artist since you started doing the strip?
Lee: First and foremost I've learned to pick my battles, in all aspects of the process. To consider the whole before getting frustrated by how that hand you drew isn't perfect yet; accept it as good enough and move on. That goes for a line of dialogue, which can sometimes delay a page going up if it doesn't work for me or the story.
I've also learned to embrace the innate way I create art and work at refining that process instead of trying to force myself to fit into a "better" way to make art. I still seek out other artist's process explanations, even if their art isn't at all like mine. I can still learn a great deal from what they focus on and how they tackle it.
I think as a writer I grew the most when editing and revising Book 1 for print. Reading the story as a whole, deciding to axe 14 pages' worth of material, rewriting a whole scene, that really taught me about flow and considering the story as a whole.
And, weirdly, to take my time in the pacing if it calls for it. I still consider the page as a story unit, but I don't worry so much whether it's a satisfying chunk of story by itselfNrama: What have been some of the biggest influences on Dicebox, both in comics and otherwise? I get hints of such authors as Ursula K. LeGuin, Gene Wolfe, and other SF authors who emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Lee: Tackling it from a science fiction slant, beyond the couple of authors you have mentioned, other influences to include would be Starstruck, by Elaine Lee and Mike Kaluta, the works of Octavia Butler, C.J. Cherryh, Samuel Delaney, Fritz Lieber, Neal Stephenson, Connie Willis, and John Varley, specifically his his short story collection The Barbie Murders.
I respond to authors (and stories) that are thoughtful yet playful. Meaning that I appreciate a firm sense of place, of a full world and culture, while at the same time realize that no matter how far in the future you go, no matter how advanced the technology, at the root of the story are humans—and once humans are involved, all bets are off.
You can probably guess, though, that it isn't just science fiction that has influenced me, but let's leave it at that.
Well, actually, let me share one thing; my thinking on science-fiction can be best summed up in a quote from Virginia Woolf's 1928 novel Orlando: "In the 18th century we knew how everything was done, but here I rise through the air, I listen to voices in America, I see men flying- but how is it done? I can't even begin to wonder. So my belief in magic returns."Nrama: What's coming up for Griffen and Molly?
Lee: Revelations and realizations, both for them and the audience. Many questions asked in the Book 1 will be answered in Book 2, the two biggest being how Molly lost her finger and why Griffen left her old life.
Nrama: Something I've been asking everyone in this series—what opportunities do you feel have arisen for creators with such new content delivery systems as iPads and smartphones, and what do you feel individual creators and larger companies can do to take advantage of these opportunities?
Lee: With the rise of iPads and other tablet computers I see more reading for leisure in a digital manner; the less obtrusive more flexible the tech, the more prevalent it can become. And buying and owing an ebook in whatever format now feels more like an object, something you can own and casually enjoy instead of just another file on your computer.I've sold quite a few PDFs of Book 1, the content of which is already freely available on the website. But this way the buyer owns it as an object, and has it readily available regardless of Internet connection. And it seems to satisfy a lot of folks who want to support my work but can't afford or don't want a physical book. Or can't afford the overseas shipping.
The idea of folks reading Dicebox on an iPad pleases me, as it does a great job of showing my colorwork in both vibrancy and subtlety. Part of the frustration of a color comic online is knowing that the variation of color profiles and lightness levels aren't consistent from monitor to monitor, and not knowing if folks are seeing exactly what I intended.Nrama: What are some of your other favorite comics and creators, online and off? Lee: Keep in mind that this is just some, that I'm sure I'm going to forget someone, here are creators whose work I will check out no matter what the story:
Christopher Baldwin, Alison Bechdel, Philip Bond, Coleen Coover, Howard Cruse, Evan Dahm, Barry Deutsch, kris dresen, Patrick Farley, Jaime Hernandez, Yukito Kishiro, Steve Lieber, Dylan Meconis, Carla Speed McNeil, Erika Moen, Grant Morrison, Ron Randall, Frank Quitely and Gene Yang.
And I'm still discovering more, like Jonathan Case, Tony Cliff, Ben Dewey, Emily Ivie, Jane Irwin, Molly Hayden, Kel McDonald—plus all the talent at Periscope studio that I haven't mentioned.Nrama: What's next for you?
Lee: If all goes well I'll be working on a short graphic novel that I can't talk about yet that'll be written by my spouse Kip Manley, and I'm really looking forward to it. It's a good story and should be lots of fun to illustrate.
I'll also continue to color Carla Speed McNeil's Finder installments in Dark Horse Presents along with Bill Mudron and might be work on the color for a new story to be be published elsewhere, which I really can't talk about either
Nrama: Anything else you'd like to talk about that we haven't discussed yet?Lee: Though it delights me to be thought of as subverting the norm with my take on sci-fi, that really isn't my intent. It's more what's come from my own life experience, and wanting to speak to and reflect elements of that, which has led to a mostly female cast, say, or having women in so many positions of responsibility and power in my future world-building.
What interests me more is stories—how they are told, what forms they take, where you can go with them. Since some of the earliest authors I ever read include Angela Carter and E.L. Konigsburg, well, we're back to life experiences again.
Griffen and Molly's adventures continue weekly in Dicebox at www.dicebox.net.
Next: It's a supernatural revolution with Eisner-nominee Dylan Meconis and Family Man! And coming up: We talk with the creators of Gunnerkrigg Court, Red's Planet, King of the Unknown and more!

23 December 1995
Cosmic beachcombers
IN 1994, a team of astronomers led by Wendy Freedman of the Carnegie Institution of Washington took the world by storm, using the Hubble Space Telescope to estimate the value of the Hubble constant, a measure of how fast the Universe is expanding.
The value that the team obtained was about 85 kilometres per second per megaparsec. This seemed to show that the Universe would have taken significantly less than 10 billion years to expand from a highly compressed state in the big bang to its present size. All of which was extremely embarrassing for astronomers since our own Galaxy appears to contain stars between 12 and 14 billion years old – olders than the Universe itself.
For decades, estimates of the Hubble constant have wandered up and down without ever settling on a number. But if Freedman's value turns out to be the final resting place, then cosmologists must find

dry creek bed, rain run off, small ponds and mosquitos
playing with an idea that kind of is blooming on me. let me explain.
i guess from the previous owners digging and building the large garage and deck and pool the back yard is kind of uneven. i get a lot of swampiness when i get a good rain. i've been seeing the shows with dry creek beds and artificial creeks and decided one day while it was raining to kind of make a small trench from puddle to puddle till i had sort a meadering flow from under the deck out to the drainage ditch behind the yard (and caught a cold in the process). i kind of like it so i'm going to try and finish it out as a dry creek bed and try to have all the gutters on the rear of the house and garage, any over flow from the pool and heavy rain flow to it.
meanwhile, my neighbor has a small plastic pond he never put in the ground or did anything with. it's about as big as a bath tub but not as deep and irregularly shaped like a mini pond. i may get it from him and put it in line with my creek bed, so the creek bed feeds it till it's full, then the overflow runs on out the other side down the rest of the creek bed and to the drainage ditch.
what i'm wondering is, what about the standing water in the mini pond? if there are no filters and pumps or we don't get rain for a while, i guess the water would just be there and make for good mosquito breeding. can you just throw some kind of chemical in it, or run the hose into it to keep the water somewhat fresh or something?
the creek bed i'm definitely doing, but the mini pond i may leave out if there is too much hassle surrounding it. it's just an opportunity type thing anyway and kind of defeats the purpose of what i'm doing if it's going be a self made swamp. thanks for any help.

Hello Philphine:
I would not include the pool in the creek bed. Like you said it would be a breeding ground for misquitoes (and other insects), If you tried to stock it with fish they would leave with the next rain, and it would be a catch basin for all kinds of trash and mud. It would be level full in 2 years with the silt.
I admire you for wanting to use what is at hand but this one is a little overboard.

If you put in a pump, waterfall or fountain, It will help discourage the mosquito problem, a chlorine pellet when the water gets still will help keep it clean. Without some sort of circulation, It will be just a mess.

I kinda like the idea of having the pond there. Then when it rains you have the creek bed flowing through. Sounds like there is potential to have a very tranquil setting. Of course if it isn't taken care of, you most certainly will have a slimy mosquito haven.
Mosquito dunks (little donut shapped things you can float in the pond) are a natural bacteria that will kill the mosquito larvae. They are safe to use with fish.
Definately put in a pump. If you wanted to go to the expense of expanding the scale of your pond and landscaping, put a waterfall at the head of the creek and use the pond pump to circulate water up to the waterfall and let it drain back down to the pond via the creek bed.
You're probably better off just avoiding the pond altogether, but putting it in does give you some unique opportunities to explore with your landscaping.

Dry creeks, Ponds, Waterfalls, all are a great way to enhance your backyard. Your dry creek is a great idea but as said previously standing water is a breeding ground for those nice little friends of ours. I got a pond giving to me by a client and went ahead and put it in
I originally just made up a 5 gal filter myself and it kept those little friends away but you do have to clean the rocks in the filter 2 a year
.. It really is not a big deal putting these in and what you get back in return is a very tranquil setting.
Here is quick summary of what we did; Removed grass and dug a trench for the electrical conduit. Dug hole for pond with 3" of a sand bed, installed Landscape fabric everywhere including under the pond, put in 3/4" river rock and used some different size rocks to create a border around the area with river rock, Bought a prefabbed waterfall, pump which came with a fountain and made my own filter and presto. I have recently replaced my own filter and pump with a proper pond filter so I had more water running and I find it easier to clean than my own filter and does keep the water Crystal clear not to mention its a little loader so I can here it on our deck thats about 10 feet away 6 feet off the ground.
Oh by the way the foam you see in the water is not normally there, I have been doing a few things down there and I have to clean it up and replace the water.

well, i was out flea market hopping and as luck would have it, came across an even smaller shaped pond for cheap, so i think i'm gonna do it. after reading the responces and trying a bit of research, i guess i'll try to work out some kind of pump system. from the bit of reading i've done it won't be as hard or expensive as i thought, so i'll add it to the plan for now. thanks for the advise.

[1]Europe. It would seem that Europe is the only thing that matters to the capital markets in 2012.
The year started with a monster rally stemming from the latest in a long stream of "fixes" to the eurozone's crisis. But after one of the best first quarters in history, the second quarter proved to be a rude awakening.
Worries that Spain and Italy would require bailouts sent the yields of the sovereign bonds of both soaring. And the higher the yields went, the more skittish investors became about "risk on" assets such as equities and commodities. Investors legitimately feared that the eurozone would rip itself apart, and the fear of what that might mean led investors to sell first and ask questions later.
By mid-June, the S&P 500 had surrendered all of the gains of the first quarter before finishing the month strongly.
And what led to the strong finish? Why, Europe, of course.
On the eve of the last trading day of the second quarter, Europe's leaders pulled an all-nighter to hash out the details in the latest latest fix to the ongoing sovereign debt crisis. And the markets liked what they heard. When the markets opened the next day, the S&P 500 rose 2.5%, and Spanish stocks rose more than 7%.
And what were the details that led investors to celebrate? In truth, it wasn't so much the specific details (of which there were few) but an apparent change in attitude on the part of Germany. German Chancellor Angela Merkel seems to "get" that major German concessions will have to be made if the eurozone is to be saved.
Germany has been living under the delusion that all the eurozone's problems could be solved by cutting government deficits, and inflation was the chief concern to prepare for.
Yes, inflation, as utterly absurd as that might sound. In the midst of what still could snowball into a deflationary, debt-loaded collapse, Germany is concerned that aggressively loosening monetary policy will cause consumer prices to rise. How Germany could stubbornly cling to this view for this long is beyond all comprehension.
In any event, there were a handful of specifics that sent "risk-on" assets into blast off mode:
Before we get too excited, we should remember that Spain's original bank bailout earlier in June initially was met with applause. But after having time to dig into the details, the bond market found it wanting, and Spanish yields marched even higher. This has unfortunately been a recurring theme of eurozone summits.
Perhaps I am ever the optimist, but I have a little more faith this time. Germany has started making concessions that the country would not have made a month ago, and there is a growing consensus for a need to separate bank risk from sovereign risk, hence the decision to lend bailout funds to the banks directly and to create a single banking regulator for the eurozone.
Europe is close to having a solution in place, but more is needed. Other countries facing banking crises — such as the United States and United Kingdom — have the luxury of using their central banks as a lender of last resort. Finally — and after overcoming stiff German opposition — there is talk of using the European Central Bank in the same fashion. The banking union makes this far more plausible.
With all of this said, what should investors expect for the third and fourth quarters?
Because the summit failed to deliver anything quite as bold as, say, the U.S.'s TARP program of late 2008, I would not expect a rally in European stocks on par with the rally in U.S. stocks in 2009. But I most certainly do expect a rally, and I expect it to be substantial.
With bond yields likely to fall in Europe's problem economies, I would expect Spanish, Italian and Irish stocks to enjoy the best returns. And within these markets, the most beaten-down sectors should see the biggest bounce.
Investors looking to ride a European re-flation rally can consider the iShares MSCI Spain (NYSE:EWP[2]) and iShares MSCI Italy (NYSE:EWI[3]) ETFs. Both have taken a beating in the first half of 2012, and I expect to see both do quite nicely in the second half.

Unreal Tournament is not only back, but it's also gone crowd-sourced. Epic Games announced that their long-running multiplayer FPS franchise will return for PC, Mac, and Linux. Powered by Unreal Engine 4 and the community, the sky's the limit for the folks at Epic.
"We know that fans of the game area s passionate about Unreal Tournament as we are," a blog post on Epic's site reads. "We know that you have great ideas and strong opinions about where the game should go and what it should be. So let's do something radical and make this game together, in the open, and for all of us."
Unreal Tournmanet will have community input from day one (which was yesterday) and stick true to its competitive FPS roots. A team of Unreal Tournament veterans are already working on the game, but if you're wanting to join the cause, you're more than welcome to.
Man, I have so many memories of playing Unreal Tournament during lunch in my High Schoo's engineering lab. I miss those days.

[1]A rising tide of optimism helped to light a fire under the markets Wednesday as indices rallied more than 2% on good news from both Europe and the U.S. regarding the possibility of stimulus measures to help jump-start their flagging economic growth.
In the U.S., Atlanta Fed president Dennis Lockhart, who is a member of the Federal Reserve's policy-setting committee, said continuing Operation Twist is now "an option on the table." The policy, which swaps short-term bonds for ones with a longer duration to keep interest rates low, currently is set to expire at the end of the month.
In Europe, comments from the European Central Bank and a new proposal for European-wide bank rescues and bailouts helped to spur optimism.
The net result was a banner day on Wall Street, with the Nasdaq climbing 2.4% to 2,844, the Dow Jones gaining 2.37% to 12,414, and the S&P ending the day up 2.3% to 1,315.
Financial stocks surged for a second straight day, with Bank of America (NYSE:BAC[2]) tacking on 7.7% gains to Tuesday's 4% advance. Citigroup (NYSE:C[3]) forged ahead by 5.4%, Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS[4]) roared up 8%, and JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM[5]) — the "laggard" of the group — still managed a 3.4% gain.
Homebuilders also saw a jolt of momentum after Hovnavian (NYSE:HOV[6]) reported its first quarterly profit in more than two years. Profit of $1.8 million (2 cents per share) vs. a year-ago loss of $72.7 million (69 cents) led HOV shares to a 18% march. KB Home (NYSE:KBH[7]) and Ryland Group (NYSE:RYL[8]) rode the coattails, up a respective 7.4% and 5.8%.
Tech stocks also moved ahead smartly, with Oracle (NASDAQ:ORCL[9], +3%), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT[10], +3%) and IBM (NYSE:IBM[11], +2.5%) headed higher, and even beaten-down Facebook (NASDAQ:FB[12]) finding momentum with a 3%-plus gain.
Making a rare (and horrid) show Wednesday were mattress makers, which took it on the chin as Tempur-Pedic (NYSE:TPX[13]) forecast a disappointing second quarter. Sales in North America are running below plan, leading the company to cut guidance for the year. Investors led a mass exodus of almost 50% on the day. Meanwhile, Mattress Firm's (NASDAQ:MFRM[14]) fiscal first-quarter profit soared after reporting improved same-store sales, but shares plummeted more than 20% as revenue missed analyst expectations.
The combination of negative news from Mattress Firm and Tempur-Pedic weighed on shares of peer and innocent bystander Select Comfort (NASDAQ:SCSS[15]), which fell also dropped more than 20%.
Finally, for those looking for additional respite to end the day, Diageo (NYSE:DEO[16]) announced it would boost production of scotch whiskey[17] during the next 10 years in response to consumer demand. Investors cheered the news by buying up the stock more than 4% — a nice, smooth finish to the day.

There's been a number of changes in the search world over the past 15 years since it's pseudo birth, but the changes that have happened in the last 12 months have been some of the largest ever. There have been the Panda updates, the Penguin changes, and the EMD (exact match domain) changes that have made search engine optimization a much more interesting job. And not that they're the only search engine in the game, but leave it to Google to make the most news with any change, seeing as they own the vast majority of the market.
I've outlined what can happen when you make a mistake and breach one of the rules set forth by the engines. You can take a rankings hit, you could suffer a penalty in the form of maybe losing some (Google) Page Rank, or you could even be completely removed from the index if you've accumulated enough 'strikes' against your website or url. As search engine optimization experts it is our job to ensure that ourselves, nor our clients fall into any of the multitude of pitfalls which you can find yourself in. None of these scenarios are unrecoverable, although making sure to get back into the good graces of the search engines will take some time and an extensive SEO skillset.
However if you don't have time, or any search engine optimization skills under your belt, or maybe you don't have the budget to bring in the real search experts, there is a solution for your business. It is one which will still take time, but you don't have to worry so much about the SEO skills initially, because you're going to start down the road of rebranding. Completely rebuilding your brand image is really a last resort option to take for your business, as it can take almost a year to return to the search results pages. If you've found yourself far enough up the creek that rebranding is a more viable option than repairing the mistakes you've made, perhaps it's time for an evaluation of your job description.

If you have not heard of Fancy Foam, you are in for a treat. This company has taken the foamy revolution and, well, revolutionized it! Their growing line of products all represent innovative design and high quality manufacturing technology. The Fancy Foam model I want to share with you is their Extra 300 L brushless powered 3-D aerobat. This is a foam and carbon fiber constructed model that is built out of Depron Sheet foam. The air-frame is durable in the air and can be built in 1.5 hours, not including the time it takes for the Gorilla glue to dry. It took me twice as long to paint my model as it did to assemble it....
Construction of the Fancy Foam 300 L was made simple by design. Both combo versions of the kit include every part needed for the assembly except the paint -- even servos, receiver, gearbox, and prop! The kit reviewed is the Ultra High Performance Combination, which includes a Himaxx brushless motor, and retails for $349. A Standard Performance Model is also available, identical except with a GWS brushed motor for $259. A replacement airframe alone is also available for $35 -- always nice to have a backup!
This is a list of the parts included in the performance package.
The assembly manual guides you through the build process with ease. I followed the initial recommendation to paint my model before I assembled it. Fancy Foam suggests the use of Krylon Shortcuts paint. I had a bit of trouble locating it until I checked my local K-Mart. I should have gone there first! DONT use regular Krylon. A buddy of mine ruined his wing using it. It is also important to remember to use multiple light coats instead of one heavy coat. Blue masking tape worked excellent on the Depron and Shortcuts to help create an immaculate finish.
When it came time to begin assembling the parts, I found see that it would be hard to go wrong. Fancy Foam did all the figuring ahead of time! They C&C cut every hole I would need. The notches for the Hitec 55 servos were perfectly placed to make the servo installation a breeze.
Fancy Foam suggests the use of a foaming glue called Gorilla Glue. This turned out to be an awesome glue for building with foam. It required a little patience because it took longer than foam safe CA or epoxy to cure, but I found it to be worth the wait. The assembly manual reminded the builder to be careful not to use too much glue because it expands.
I cant stress this enough. Gorilla Glue expands and can cause damage if not used sparingly.
The elevator on the Extra 300 L is a full flying elevator. It was designed to work well and be very durable. I used too much and had to break part of the hinge. This caused only a cosmetic blemish; its structural integrity was unscathed.
One of the aspects of kit design I was most pleased with was that all of the hinge lines were pre-beveled by Fancy Foam as they cut the kit. Besides creating less work for the builder, it allows for stronger control surfaces. To hinge the surfaces, I used regular transparent tape. I then used my covering iron to aid the tape's adherence to the model. When all the hinges were taped, and only then, the control surfaces were bent to weaken the thin amount of foam left holding the surface in place. This design feature made the best foamy hinges I have seen yet!!
The assembly of the Himaxx brushless motor into the GWS gear-box required the included adapter. I used a vise to press the pinion gear onto the motor. It was important to drill the proper sized pilot hole in the hardwood motor mount stick to avoid cracking when I screwed the gearbox in place.
The location of all of the components set the center of gravity right where I like it. Don't ignore the manuals' recommendation for 70% exponential!
The recommended high rates put the elevator at 70 degrees. The low rate setting of only 30 degrees is much tamer, but nowhere near as much fun. The excessive elevator travel comes in handy for landing, as mentioned later.
Note: All flight photos by Bob Morrow, thanks, Bob!
I hooked the Extra up to my Wattmeter and discovered it pulled about 13-amps, static! I could not wait to take this thing for a ride. As you may have guessed, take-offs are all hand-launch. It takes off out of my hand and accelerates vertically at half throttle.
Wow, first flight was ballistic! The power was incredible but overall the model was a bit difficult to control. I landed it and dialed in some much needed exponential! When the manual that says 45% expo, take it serious.
The next flight with the model was just as it was supposed to be. Sweet, tight inside and outside loops, knife-edge into hover. The rudder was actually so aggressive and there was so much power that it was almost hard not to turn a slow knife-edge flight into a hover. The model settled in to a hovering position smoothly. (I am still working on holding it there.) Whenever it falls off toward the right wing I just hammer the throttle and it tears up into the sky like a rocket.
Once up in the sky, it was hard not to yank it around up there. The airframe is pleasantly rigid in the air. I was able to rip it through ill-attempted blenders with barely a noticeable flex in the wing. I did most of my flying with the control surfaces set at Fancy Foam's recommended high rates. These rates put the elevator at 70 degrees. The low rate setting of only 30 degrees is much tamer, but nowhere near as much fun.
The excessive elevator travel comes in handy for landing. Due to that there is no landing gear you need to do a kind of "prop and drop" approach...it's really rather easy. Essentially, I come in low, crank in a little thrust and a lot of elevator. As the tail touches the ground, cut the throttle. The plane gently falls into a comfortable landing.
This model flies so well! It is the kind of plane you can develop a relationship with. It can teach you so much as it begs you in defiance to push the envelope. "Lower lower lower!!!" it taunts, knowing you want to just as bad as it does!
The flight photos I have here dont do the model justice. You must go to Fancy Foam's Website and see the videos they have posted. A video is worth a thousand pictures.
Once in the air this little foamy beast really comes to life. It will do every (and I mean every) trick in the book. It hovers at half throttle and will do knife-edge loops! One of the greatest aspects of this model is that it will teach any pilot willing to learn how to really wring out a 3-D flyer.
This airframe costs so little and builds so quickly -- the investment is so little -- it will beckon you to try maneuvers you might otherwise never have the guts to try.
I highly recommend this Fancy Foam model to just about any pilot of any skill level beyond beginner. I would suggest however you have experience with 4 channel models before you fly it. If you are an intermediate flier just set those low rates back and keep it high.
For those advanced pilots well you know what to do. Just go nuts!! After all a new airframe is only $35 and an evenings build away. Heck, keep one in reserve...you'll always want it handy!

After 24 years, Welk steps down as Davis High hoops coach

So glad I will finally feel comfortable returning to a Davis game.

It really was time. Jay had a strong ability to break his players down, but struggled to build them back up.
Abefroman22 Farmington, UTMarch 19, 2014 11:30 a.m.
Wasn't suprprised to see Roger Reid mentioned by Jay in this article...as someone who had to play for Jay, Roger seems to be his hero.
Unbelievable West Jordan, UtahMarch 18, 2014 8:33 p.m.
It seems many of our tenured head coaches are stepping away from the game, anymore. Coach Welk produced many fine teams throughout the years. His teams dictated many outcomes due to their hard nose play.
mudlakerules Cedar Hills, UTMarch 18, 2014 7:38 p.m.
Coach Jay is one of the most respected guys in the coaching business. He's done things "the right way" taught players to play "the right way." As he has shared with his colleagues many lessons, I've tried to gather as much information as possible to learn how he's run such a successful and first-class program. A young coach would be very fortunate to sit in on a session and learn from Coach Welk. Jay will me missed and has not only influenced many young men but many other coaches as well! Good luck with your next adventures! Doug Meacham, Am Fork high school
CC Saint George, UTMarch 18, 2014 4:45 p.m.
Coach...You did it the right way. I always enjoyed watching your teams play. Good luck in your future endeavors..Davis High School is certainly fortunate to have had you through the years.
123456 Salt Lake City, UTMarch 18, 2014 10:54 a.m.
Coach Welk is absolutely one of the best people in the business. His teams always played the right way on the court and acted the right way off. A really classy guy who will be missed sorely in profession by all who know him. Best of luck coach and Godspeed!

Great and clear sound ! Both for voices and cutlery. Thank you. Keep the good job and equipment too ;))
Thanks for this! I'm going to use it in a radio spot as a background conversation in ancient Egypt - my thinking being that German sounds similar to Hebrew, and Thai sounds similar to ancient Egyptian. Weird? Maybe. But definitely fun. :)

Seed Oils
FassZination Styrian Pumpkin Seed Oil
In Store Only
Learn more about VOM FASS seed oils below and explore the origination of the plant from which the oil is derived, the oil production, culinary uses, and health benefits.
Styrian Pumpkin Seed Oil
Plant and Oil Production
Pumpkin seed oil originated in North and South America and then spread throughout Europe during the 16th century. Today it is predominately grown in Austria, Slovenia, Hungary, Romania and China. Our Styrian Pumpkin Seed Oil from Austria is officially stamped by the EU with the Protected Geographic Indication which is designed to promote and protect names of quality agricultural products and foodstuffs. This essentially means that the pumpkin seeds used for Styrian pumpkin seed oil must come from specifically indicated regions and may only be pressed in Styria.
The oil of pumpkin seed is obtained from pressing the ground and roasted seeds. Cold-pressed oil has a green color and is not widely available so VOM FASS is proud to offer this treasured oil.
Culinary Uses
Pumpkin seed oil should ideally only be used for the preparation of cold dishes that benefit from a deliciously strong nutty smell and flavor. This oil is spectacular for dressing salads or flavoring starches such as rice, cereals, and oats. Boiled potatoes with herbs and pumpkin seed oil are a true delicacy!
Health and Cosmetics
Pumpkin seed oil can be used as a carrier oil and in creams used for dry and cracking skin. In naturopathy, it has been found to be beneficial for urinary tract infections, problems with the vertebral discs, as well as for cystitis and other disorders of the bladder.
Sesame Seed Oil
Plant and Oil Production
Sesame is one of the oldest seed oils. It is a flowering plant that is similar to rape seed. It originated in East Africa and India but today the plant is grown in Turkey, India, China and Egypt. Sesame oil is made from the hulled, conditioned and flaked seeds by pressing or extraction. In some countries the seeds are roasted before pressing. Cold-pressed sesame oil is golden yellow in color, has a slightly nutty smell and a mild flavor. Extracted sesame oil is pale yellow and has no distinctive smell or taste. The oil from roasted seeds is golden brown and has a more intensive nutty flavor.
Culinary Uses
Sesame oil is often used in the food industry to make margarine and is also very popular in the baking industry. The cold-pressed oils go well on a variety salads and vegetables but is particularly well-suited for cooking and frying Asian dishes. Sesame oil can also be used simply as a seasoning on a wide range of foods from meats to starches.
Health and Cosmetics
Pure sesame oil may be beneficial for dry to normal skin. It is often used to prevent stretch marks, as baby oil or to massage scars. It is widely used in Ayurvedic medicine and is traditionally considered a nerve tonic in India.

Vineyards are some of the oldest crops of the world. Grapes are used to produce wine and juice with the seeds remaining as a by-product. The seeds are cleaned, dried and ground. The oil is mostly pressed and hardly ever extracted from these seeds. Depending on the type of grape, the color of cold-pressed oil is can vary between yellow to green. It has a bitter-sweet flavor and a nutty grape smell. The extracted and refined oil has a somewhat pale color and a rather neutral taste and smell.
Culinary Uses
Grape seed oil can be used for cold dishes. The refined oil can also be used for steaming and frying other dishes but cold-pressed grape seed oil should only be heated slightly.
Health and Cosmetics
The grape seed oil is quickly absorbed into the skin and is therefore well suited for dry and aging skins; both as a massage or a base oil. In naturopathy, grape seed oil is used in cases of cardiovascular issues.
Sunflower Oil
The Plant
The sunflower plant Helianthus annuuswas was first cultivated and domesticated by the Native Americans in present-day Arizona and New Mexico around 3000 BC. Although native to North America, the sunflower was commercialized in Russia, spread in popularity throughout Europe and only recently became a cultivated crop once again in the U.S., most extensively in the 1970's, in order to satisfy the growing demand.
Oil Production
Native Americans used the oil from sunflowers for making bread, topically on the body and hair, and also medicinally for snakebites and in other ointments. Although much later in history, it was the Europeans who patented the squeezing of the oil from the seed and popularized its usage in the kitchen.
The oil of the sunflower is made from the mature seeds. The husk is removed and the oil is produced either by cold-pressing or by extraction.
Culinary Uses
Within the food industry, sunflower oil is often used for the production of margarine, salad dressings and mayonnaise. Refined sunflower oil is commonly used for low to extremely high temperature frying of most any type of food. Cold-pressed sunflower oil should only be heated slightly in cooking and sautéing. Sunflower oil is also a natural preservative as it helps to keep foods fresher and healthier for a longer period of time.
Health & Cosmetics
Sunflower oil is particularly beneficial as an emollient in lotions to moisturize and hydrate skin and has the advantage of possessing a long shelf life. In naturopathy, it is used for joint diseases, kidneys problems and for cases of poor blood circulation.

C.R. England, one of the nation's largest refrigerated carriers, today celebrated the opening of a new terminal at 2250 South Riverside Avenue in Colton, CA on Wednesday, June 11, 2014.
Also announced at the event was the addition of 10 new LNG trucks to the company's Southern California fleets. "We are excited about the facilities that we are offering our drivers and staff and we are pleased to be an involved member of the city of Colton," said Brandon Harrison. "This new facility will greatly increase the services and amenities that we can provide our drivers in Southern California as well as provide closer access to many of our customers. Our goal at C.R. England is to provide a world-class experience for our employees – both driver and non-driver and independent contractors. Facilities like Colton, help us provide these opportunities." This 34-acre facility is the second largest C.R. England facility nationwide and will feature the following amenities:
- 30,000 square foot Maintenance Shop with eight service bays and a state-of-the-art truck wash
- 18,000 square feet are dedicated to a Driver Resource Center including laundry, TV lounge, game room, an exercise facility and Driver Training facilities. Additional space is allocated to non-driver support staff office space, including operations for several key Dedicated fleets
- Parking for more than 250 tractors and 350 trailers
- Parking for drivers and employees
The ribbon cutting event also featured the display of two of the 10 new Mack Pinnacle 12-liter Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) tractors being added to the Southern California fleets. "C.R. England is a strong advocate of sustainable transportation and is aggressively implementing and testing new technology, equipment and training to provide our customers and our environment with greener transportation," said Zach England. "Although there are still challenges with utilizing natural gas tractors in our fleets, such as equipment costs, maintenance, and degradation MPG, we have made the commitment to continually test this equipment and introduce them into strategic areas where the freight and fueling networks fit best."
"Collaboration with both vendors and shippers has been a critical factor in the success of the implementation of natural gas tractors. We have seen some of the many benefits of natural gas. We hope to continue to expand our presence this year and into the future. We are driven to continually find ways to decrease our carbon footprint."
- Safe fuel option: It is non-toxic and disperses quickly.
- Environmentally friendly: It is the cleanest alternative transportation fuels available
- Domestic: 98-99 percent of the gas C.R. England uses comes from North America.
- Natural gas is abundant in North America.
- Twelve-liter is spark- ignited, not diesel-ignited, removing the need to have dual fuel, and removing the need to have Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF).
- The 12-liter lighter than its 15-liter counterpart.
- As LNG technology has improved over time, England expects better maintenance results from the 12-liter.
In 2011, C.R. England introduced 15-liter LNG tractors into its fleet. Two years later, England introduced a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fleet in Utah. Attending the Colton ribbon cutting were C.R. England Chief Operating Officers Zach England and Brandon Harrison. Government and civic leaders included Colton Mayor Pro Tem Isaac T. Suchil; Colton City Council Members Susan Oliva, Frank Gonzales and Frank Navarro; Ashley Jones, a representative of State Assembly Member Cheryl R. Brown; John Futch, Field Representative for San Bernardino County 3rd District Supervisor James Ramos; Interim Colton City Manager and Chief of Police Steve Ward; Colton Economic Development Manager Arthur Morgan; Laura Mancha, representing San Bernardino County 5th District Supervisor Josie Gonzales; and Colton Chamber Executive Director Chetay Catalano. Also in attendance were customers, vendors, drivers and employees of C.R. England.

Griffiths quits Sydney FC for China
Sydney FC have suffered a blow with striker Joel Griffiths leaving the A-League club and expected to return to the Chinese Super League.
Griffiths sought and was granted a release from the final season of his contract on Tuesday, just seven months after arriving.
"Disappointed is a nice word to use to be honest," Sydney CEO Tony Pignata told 2MM radio.
"Unfortunately he got a really good offer and good luck to the lad. It's a good deal for him but we'll just go out and get another striker."
Griffiths, who has successful stints with Beijing Guoan and Shanghai Shenhua, scored three goals in his eight games after joining the Sky Blues mid-season in December.
The 33-year-old's departure leaves coach Frank Farina's attack looking short on experience outside superstar Alessandro Del Piero.
Del Piero is backed by a new signing in Young Socceroos striker Corey Gameiro, the returning Yairo Yau plus youngsters Joel Chianese, Blake Powell and Mitch Mallia.

It's not often that the interests of progress and historical preservation work together.
But civic and business leaders in Woodstock think they've found a way to merge the concepts to stimulate business in the community's historical Town Square.
It's not often that the interests of progress and historical preservation work together.
But civic and business leaders in Woodstock think they've found a way to merge the concepts to stimulate business in the community's historical Town Square.
It involves combining a historical preservation plan and special tax financing into a strategy to draw more visitors to the Town Square, which features cobblestone streets and a collection of 19th Century buildings.
The plan calls for expanding the city's historical preservation district beyond the Town Square, then converting properties in those areas to blend in with the historical district.
Square retailers, who over the years have seen business siphoned off by shopping malls, are strong backers of the plan.
"The retailers on the square are very enthusiastic about the possibilities to increase their business and the value of their structures," said Sandra Hauschildt, director of the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce.
The draft of an ordinance to establish a seven-member Historic Preservation Commission and implement a preservation plan is under study by city leaders, members of the central business district, the chamber of commerce and others.
The city also has contracted with the consulting firm Teska & Associates for a $30,000 study focused on enhancing Woodstock's downtown while preserving its historical character.
The city would like to expand the historical preservation district beyond the Town Square to include the nearby Woodstock Die Cast factory site. Purchased by the city earlier this year, the factory is scheduled for demolition sometime in 1996.
If the ordinance is approved by the City Council, the new Historic Preservation Commission would act as an oversight committee for development on the property. Eventually, the city hopes to establish a tax increment financing plan around development of the Die Cast property to help finance downtown improvements.
The committee hopes some of that money will be reinvested in historical preservation. Part of the qualifying criteria for TIF money, or federal and state grants and loans, will be for individuals to meet guidelines set forth by the preservation ordinance.
The primary purpose of the preservation ordinance is to obtain certified local-government status from the State Historic Preservation Agency. That would allow property owners to present their case and receive certification, at the local level, that their property is of historical significance or value.
That, in turn, may open the door for residents and business owners to receive tax incentives and state and federal grants to restore or improve their properties.
"I think there's got to be some extra attention focused to the downtown area, especially since McHenry County is growing so fast,"said Steve Scully, owner ofJoey T's Cafe Italiano. "Woodstock is becoming a mecca for the county when it comes to restaurants and entertainment."

You're a high-school senior applying to a competitive college where the SAT and ACT are optional. You want to skip the test, but your inner nag says, "if you don't submit your scores, you're not getting in."
Starting in the fall, Hampshire College in Amherst, MA, won't look at your scores, even if you do submit them. Not for admissions, or to evaluate students for scholarships. The small, liberal-arts college used to make test scores optional.
It was hardly alone. Since 2005 the list of schools switching to test-optional admissions keeps growing. There are 150 top- tier schools on the list now.
But scrapping standardized tests completely can come with a cost. Sarah Lawrence College in New York, stopped collecting SAT scores in 2005 from applicants, but went back to doing it in 2012. Without those stats, it was removed from the U.S. News & World Report college rankings.
In explaining their decision, Hampshire administrators went for the well-worn arguments about the tests' bias against low-income and disadvantaged students. Administrators also pointed to what they believe is an over reliance on tests, in general, as a means of evaluation:
At Hampshire, students receive detailed evaluations from professors rather than letter grades. Classroom discussions, written work, and projects are evaluated. But not, according to the school, " through the use of "tests" in the traditional sense."
Hampshire's move comes not long before the debut of a revamped SAT in 2016. The new test will put more focus on demonstrating knowledge and skills that the College Board —the test's creator—believes are most important for college and career readiness.

PINEHURST, N.C. — Martin Kaymer might not have already won this U.S. Open, but Phil Mickelson's definitely lost it.
While the former world No. 1 from Germany continued compiling record low scores and opening a six-shot cushion on the field, everybody's sentimental favorite faded into the background on the stage he hoped to complete his career slam.
"The hole looks like a thimble to me right now," Mickelson said after a second-round 3-over-par 73 left him 13 shots behind runaway leader Kaymer. "I'm having a hard time finding it."
Some might suggest that Mickelson puts the mental in sentimental with his willingness to make radical changes on the fly in the biggest tournaments. He admitted as much Tuesday.
"Right now the game plan is X, but it can certainly become Y in a matter of minutes," he said.
That sudden shift to "Plan Why" happened Friday. Mickelson changed his putting before the tournament to a claw grip he felt would work better on the slick and slopey greens. But he switched back Friday to a conventional grip and adjusted his head alignment trying to find a stroke that could conjure up a run at the man who was 10 shots in front of him when Mickelson started his round.
After a pair of birdies on the second and third holes, it looked like Mickelson might have hit on the right formula. Then it all went south.
"I thought I was going to have a good putting day," he said. "I made the putt on 2 and 3 and I hit a really good putt on 5 that didn't go and I thought I was going to have a good day. The 3-putt on 6 shook me a little bit. Then 8. After that I was really fighting it."
By the end of the day, his fight seemed over. His willingness to concede that Kaymer might not win only went so far as to think somebody else might do it.
"We have always had crazy things happen," Mickelson said of U.S. Open weekends. "So you just never know. There's a lot of guys right there ready to pounce if he slips up."
Kaymer will have to slip as he seems to have everybody chasing for second place – a position Mickelson is uninterested in achieving for the seventh time in 15 years. The 2010 PGA champion took full advantage of the two most benign days possible on Pinehurst No. 2 and rattled off a pair of 65s – each of them two shots better than the next best score in the field. The combination adds up to the lowest 36-hole score (130) in U.S. Open history and tied the largest margin (six) in 114 installments of America's oldest championship.
"It gets boring the words that I use, but I mean there's not much to say," Kaymer confessed of his nearly flawless form. "It's just good right now the way I play golf."
That's the understatement of the year. Only a month ago Kaymer was running away with The Players Championship until a late-afternoon rain delay disrupted his roll. He still held on at the end for the second biggest victory of his career.
Those staring up at his score at Pinehurst were struggling to figure out how he lapped them all.
"I heard he played the No. 3 course," Kevin Na said of the 5,800-yard Donald Ross sister track adjacent to No. 2. "Is that true?"
Brendon Todd, the former Georgia golfer with the closest look at Kaymer in solo second at 4-under, was impressed.
"Kaymer's performance has been incredible," Todd said. "He's playing a brand of golf that we haven't seen probably in a long time – since maybe Tiger."
Close. Kaymer's 36-hole lead ties the absurd margin that Woods owned in his record-shattering 15-stroke victory at Pebble Beach in 2000.
Rory McIlroy matched it as well at Congressional in 2011 when he went on to win by eight.
"Obviously, I played Congressional and I thought, 'How can you shoot that low?'" Kaymer recalled of McIlroy's performance in 2011 that came a 36th-hole bogey from matching his pair of 65s this week. "And that's probably what a lot of other people think about me right now."
On Wednesday when the Pinehurst greens were approaching unplayable, Kaymer believed 8-over might be a winning score. But overnight watering before Thursday and an inch of overnight rain before Friday allowed Kaymer to get 18 strokes ahead of his target score.
"I wouldn't take it anymore, obviously," he said.
Stranger things have happened. Dr. Gil Morgan was the first player to reach double digit figures under par in a U.S. Open, getting to 12-under in 1992 at Pebble Beach. He played the rest of the way in 17-over and wound up tied for 13th.
More recently at Pinehurst, Retief Goosen held a three-shot 54-hole lead over the likes of Jason Gore and Olin Browne in 2005 and looked unbeatable.
Goosen's coronation, however, was derailed by a Sunday 81 that left him staggering away in 11th place.
Can Kaymer hold off the bunched-up masses in his wake?
"If he does it for two more days, then we're all playing for second spot," said Adam Scott, whose Friday 67 got him to even par. "But we all know that U.S. Opens get very difficult. ... I don't know why he would change anything of what he's doing. Potentially, he goes out (Saturday) and plays better than everyone again and this thing's over."
Kaymer doesn't plan on changing anything but won't think about it being over until it's over.
"I don't want to put more pressure on myself," he said. "There's enough pressure playing the U.S. Open and trying to finish as high as possible."

We know how easy it is to get busy, and put your health on the back burner. All of us are short on time, and it seems like everything else but our health becomes a priority. In the mean time, chemical toxins, physical traumas, and emotional stress are getting in the way of your body's innate ability to heal. We believe, if you take the initiative and make your health a priority, you will not only begin to feel better, but you will live well.
Our purpose is to educate as many families and individuals as possible toward optimal health through natural chiropractic care.
As parents who want to be around for our kids for many years to come, we have been so blessed by Align and the doctors here. Not only do we learn more each adjustment about the importance of our health but we are training up our children to also be well. We are cared for, loved and prayed for by these incredible doctors who want nothing more than to change the world through the incredible power of our own bodies. We are all in better health, have more knowledge and are truly living healthier lifestyles because of the corrective and educational nature of Align. We can't wait to see all God has in store for the future of our healthier lives as a family of five. - Samarah H.
I am so grateful for the care I have received at Align Health and Wellness. After a year of living from session to session at a different chiropractic clinic, I had a wake up call this past spring. My back went out completely and I was left nearly immobile for almost 5 days. That does not work well for a mother of two young and very active sons! That is when I came to Align, curious to know more about the practice of corrective chiropractic. Fast forward six months ago to now. I have seen significant positive changes to my structure--changes that many medical doctors do not believe are even possible! After so many positive changes to my own health since becoming enrolled at Align, I have introduced my children to the doctors' care as well. We are so thankful for the incredible care at Align and their ongoing resource of wellness in our community. Elissa M.
I have seen medical doctors and other chiropractors over the years that would temporarily help my symptoms. Luckily, my friends Bill and Kim referred me to Align Health & Wellness. I was in so much pain at the time, I was thrilled to try anything! The doctors at Align found major subluxation and offered to help me through chiropractic care. After three to four weeks, my conditions improved almost 100%. I was convinced! A few weeks after that, the rest of our family began care. Our kids have been less sick, especially over the wintertime. We haven't had any ear infections. Our son Mitchell doesn't have to use his nebulizer anymore. My body and family thank you! Lane U.
I have suffered from migraines since my early teens. Now in my late 20's, I thought that it was just going to be a part of my life. I had seen numerous doctors and neurologists and no solution was found, except t try medication. I did not like taking the drugs they prescribed because the side effects were awful. After only two months working with the doctors at Align, I noticed a big difference in the number of headache days I was experiencing. After five months now, I can't even remember when I had my last migraine. I have discontinued all of the medications I was on and I feel like a new person! The doctors at Align have changed my life in so many ways. I look forward to continuing on this journey to health and wellness! I will be a client for life! Stephanie H.
It wasn't until a year after I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease that I found Align Health & Wellness. I was frustrated with the doctors I was working with and a co-worker suggested I go to Align "just to see if they could help." I never thought about seeing a chiropractor for anything other than back pain and certainly not for maintenance care, but Dr. Tom and his team don't just talk to me about my spine. The doctors here live and breathe chiropractic. They are so passionate and truly believe in what they do, so much so that it is contagious. It's hard not to get excited about the many amazing things chiropractic care can do for you with them. They are the reason I come here. They are the reason I drag my kids out the door and in the car for 40 minutes every Wednesday morning to get a 3 minute adjustment. That three minutes is important and I trust the doctors at Align with my health and the health of my family. Cat E.

5 Years have passed by so quickly!
As was written about your caddies getting sick or hurt ... I (Robert Fisher) actually had the opportunity to caddie for Robert Karllson during that 2012 PGA. It was awesome.
Ser you in 2021!
@thewearyfox Bummer about the shrimp tacos! They really were a heck of a good deal. And yes, the water there is pricy. My hat's off to you for bringing your own gallon jug.
Well let me catch you up on a couple of things Paul from my experience at the PGA Championship's first round of play yesterday (Thursday). First: NO 3 for $10 shrimp tacos available. Instead they were fish tacos ("sorry, weve run out of shrimp sir") and they were outrageously priced at $10 each. What seemed to be the best deal for food when comparing price vs quantity was the chicken fingers and fries. You get 4 fingers and a good amount of fries for $9.50. Second: Bottled water is $3 for a small, yes small, bottle; Gatorade is $4.50 for a small bottle as well. I was applauded by the inspection staff at the gate for bringing a sealed semi-frozen 1-gallon bottle of distilled water (99 cent pre-purchase) that lasted me the entire day's event. And lastly, the best place for viewing, if you prefer not to walk the course, was atop the bleachers overlooking the 18th green. And I do mean atop....the top bench provided a constant cool breeze from the ocean while having a great view of the final hole (second shot to the green and all chipping and putting....VERY FEW greens were hit in regulation and few birdies were made on the 500+ yard par 4 18th.
Ive been to Hominy Grill three times and while the service is great the food is blah. Simply underwhelming
Who would of thought so much was going on way out here? Eat your hearts out the rest of you.
I've been reading everything in the local press about the PGA. Maybe I missed something. But, this take on the whole thing is the best piece I've read. Great job Allyson. The quotes from Fisher, Bocchio, Bloomer, Morrison, Wright and Wetter make for interesting insights as to what the players will face this week. This piece works because casual weekend players can relate.
Golf is generally boring.
plex- note the last sentence in the Bowens Island blurb :)
really? oysters in August?? obviously you've never eaten an oyster in the Lowcountry before, or at Bowen's in the past six months.
Re:Bowens Island, local oysters aren't in season, but their fried shrimp are pretty damn good too.
Good advice.
I'll probably let others attend. Let's hope it is good for the local economy.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
I used this great find fabric at Hancocks.. and used all 10 yards of it into it. XD I guess its just one mother of dresses.
- Personal Thoughts:
- After making the first pink Chii dress, I think this one was a lot easier. I used my own pattern for this costume but applied the same skirt style. I love this costume but since its white it got dirty easily.

i think that may be done, not positive. But if you get 4 bottles, 1 of them will be free - that would equate to 25%
Is the 20% discount still valid? Doesn't seem to be working.
I will check.
