The Fruit of their Labor
The Soltes family keeps a 70-year-old farm thriving
Edison, Washington, population 133, is impossibly still in the winter. The farms that sustain the area are at rest for the season, and just a few tourists mill around the downtown strip, which has become an unexpected culinary and artistic destination over the past 10 years. Frosty patches dot the edges of Edison Slough, which tangles its way alongside and under Bow Hill Road all the way to a blueberry farm that has stood for nearly seven decades.
On this misty off-season day, the farm's five acres of bushes are bare and their branches have turned a deep crimson. Recent rains have flooded the slough, rendering many of Harley and Susan Soltes's Jersey blueberry bushes inaccessible. Their corgi mix, Douglas, is enjoying free run of the fields that are off-limits during the growing season. His squat legs barely clear the farm's rich compost furrows, but he doesn't seem to mind.
Though the fields are dormant, the Soltes family is far from it. Blueberries have a brief eight-week peak season in Washington, but Bow Hill Blueberries does more than enough business to keep its owners busy all year round.
It's been this way since 2011, when the Solteses bought the acreage from the Anderson family, who had grown blueberries on the land since 1947. Susan and Harley owned the nearby Samish Flats Farm and had no plans to expand — but once Bow Hill Blueberries became available, they found the well-appointed farm hard to resist. The processing facilities, water rights, and heirloom bushes were all there; all they'd have to do was move in.
Well, almost all. Samish Flats was certified organic, and the Solteses knew that they'd want to convert Bow Hill Blueberries to the same — a notoriously long and tedious process. They obtained a transitional organic certification, a label that would qualify them to sell to certain co-ops.
There's a strong culinary focus at Bow Hill — after all, it's just down the road from Edison, a veritable food destination.
A transitional organic certification "sets you up to move seamlessly to fully certified," Susan explains. But the three years of fully organic operation required to move past the transitional phase can be tough.
"It's kind of a sacrifice for three years," says Harley. "We bought the compost, we took the risk of organic farming, but we weren't legally selling anything organic yet."
Still, they worked tirelessly to establish the farm, including a substantial rebranding effort. To make a living without selling to big-box stores — and thus having their beloved berries relabeled as Kirkland Signature or Kroger brand — Harley and Susan knew their product would need an artisan identity to match its higher price. "When people are paying more for organics, we want them to feel good about it: the health of it, the taste of it, the feel of it," Harley says.
Their daughter, Amelia, a designer, created a new visual brand for the farm, including stylish new labels and a sleek website. The Solteses commissioned a logo from local artist Jessica Bonin: a plump blueberry with a full calyx, a sign of a berry's heirloom provenance. They also asked artist Mandy Turner for a sign to hang in their farm shop: "Did you know Twinkies are $10.29 per pound?"
Alongside the farm's artisan makeover, Harley and Susan decided to turn Bow Hill Blueberries into a community center of sorts. About 10 percent of their crop goes to U-Pick customers, who number in the hundreds at the height of growing season — all while the Soltes family continues to manage the farm and retail business. "It's like running a farm and an amusement park at the same time," Harley says.
Thankfully, they have Pablo Silva, who manages the farm's field team and picking operations. While picking may seem easy, there's real skill involved in handling Bow Hill's delicate, high-quality organic fruit. And Bow Hill pays a premium for it, up to $35 per hour for a talented picker. Most people can't keep it up for more than an hour or so, but according to Harley, Pablo and his team are the best of the best. "They take ownership of the field and the farm," Harley says. "They take on the needs of the farm as their own."
The Solteses also hire youth picking crews and interns, some of whom have gone on to work in the farm store and kitchen. Day campers pick berries in the field and make crafts in the historic shed, where the farm's former owners raised mink until World War II.
"When people are paying more for organics, we want them to feel good about it: the health of it, the taste of it, the feel of it."
The Bow Hill Blueberries community even got its 15 minutes of fame this past October, when friend of the farm Ryan Ross filmed her opening segment for the Food Network show Chopped at the mink house. Chef Ryan went on to win the competition.
There's a strong culinary focus at Bow Hill — after all, it's just down the road from Edison, a veritable food destination. About 50 percent of Bow Hill's annual blueberry crop is frozen, and some of that is used to make pantry products: blueberry marinade, pickled berries, dried berries, even a blueberry ice cream created in collaboration with Lopez Island Creamery.
Each pantry product uses one of Bow Hill's blueberry varietals to its best advantage: thick-skinned Jersey berries hold their color well in ice cream, whereas sweet, tiny Stanleys take best to pickling. With the help of family and friends, Susan creates recipes that put their berries to good use, from salmon with pickled berries and creme fraiche to blueberry sabayon. They're also testing a bottled juice product, which they hope to see on the shelves soon, but there are no big expansions on the horizon. "We'd like to have fewer products and focus," Harley says. "We've done a bunch and are seeing which are really floating to the top."
While U-Pick and pantry products have proven successful for the farm, fully 80 percent of their berries are sold through the Puget Sound Food Hub. The Hub connects institutions like Microsoft, UW Medical Center, and Bon Appetit Management Company directly to farmers to purchase sustainably-farmed food. In fact, Bow Hill Blueberries has become an essential part of the food hub since the Solteses took over in 2011. Finding themselves with extra cold-storage space, Harley and Susan now host a pick-up and drop-off point for Skagit Valley Food Hub members.
Though Bow Hill Blueberries may seem to be at rest on a cold winter day, activity buzzes beneath the stillness. Frozen berries are being sent far and wide, jars of jam are bubbling away in the kitchen, and Harley, Susan, and Pablo are preparing for another growing season — a season that will draw the community together once more, out of the cold, to share in the fruit of their labor.

I received product sample in exchange for my post. All opinions are mine and mine alone.
Are you looking to revamp your living space or bedroom space? SAUDER furniture has the best looking furniture and at super amazing prices. They really offer a great quality furniture line with your budget in mind. They give you options to fit in a lot of several budgets without ever over spending no matter how big or small your price limit is. SAUDER has some really great collections too. I love their Harbow View collection.
I got the Barrister Lane Collection entertainment cardenza in a salt oak finish. I must say it looks just like the picture. The stand is heavy and strong. It was pretty easy for my husband to build. My kids also helped build it and mess around with all the energy being passed around the room. T.V's have become a center piece for a room. So the furniture they stand on or hang above should matter. Thats right where your eye goes. You can even say you stare at that spot for a few hours a day. I fell in love with this stand online. It is not only strong and will last a long time but it was under $300. That blew me away.
If I bought this stand anywhere else by a different brand, I'd be paying with my arms and legs. This price makes it affordable for me to keep purchasing more form the collection to match. SAUDER is just amazing. The customer service is superior if any issues do arrise, so no worries if you do order online or purchase from a local store that carries them. This T.V. stand even has tempered glass. Is great for the fact I have three kids and one who is learning to walk. He already gets inside the stand, I can;t imagine if he fell into the door and it broke just like real glass. This saves him or anyone that breaks it by not allowing them to get super hurt. SAUDER is a great brand and delivers with their quality and customer in mind. I am not just saying all this so you check them out. They are worth the check, by the way. They are true and I have several pieces of their stuff in my house. My whole bedroom is decked out in SAUDER. Thats because I want nice, grown up furniture. With our 3 kids, it's hard to spend $1,000 on one dresser or just know it will probably be colored on or broken some point down the road.
So be sure to check them out and see what is you style of furniture there! What is your favorite collection? I would love to know.

So you want to field a Star Destroyer? Done! You want to see a fur ball of Tie-Fighters swarming around Rebel frigates? Done! You want to decide the fate of the galaxy with your expertly timed tactics? Done!
Star Wars Armada is the new pre-painted, miniatures game coming out from Fantasy Flight Games that allows you to go head-to-head with your opponent in a truly epic scale. You have probably played or at least seen Fantasy Flight's X-Wing game and want to start drawing comparisons between X-Wing and Armada. The difference should be significant. Yes, they are both pre-painted, tactical miniature games set in the Star Wars universe, but the game mechanics are different. Below is a list of some of the gaming features for Armada.
Cool features:
- The larger your capital ship, the longer it takes to react
- Multilayered defenses (shields, hull, defense tokens)
- A tactical need to balance multiple systems on your ships like, defense, armaments, and engines
- Defense tokens that you can spend to modify your defenses or take evasive maneuvers
- Set hidden command actions
- A really cool, dynamic maneuver tool for capital ships
- Intuitive dials to track stats on ships
- Objectives with special rules that will change your mission during each game
Intuitive Tracker Dials
An X-wing squadron is shown connected to its base which tracks its remaining hit points (shown here at "5") and whether or not it has activated. Here, the blue tab on the left of the base indicates that the squadron has not yet activated. Once the squadron has activated, the tab is pushed through to the other side and displays its orange end.
In Star Wars: Armada, you command the unmatched power of the Imperial fleet, or gain the opportunity to prove your tactical acumen as an admiral in the Rebel Alliance. Massive Star Destroyers fly to battle against Rebel corvettes and frigates. Banks of turbolasers unleash torrential volleys of fire against squadrons of X-wings and TIEs.Fantasy Flight Games
- Rules
- Articulated maneuver tool

Boeing [NYSE:BA] today announced an agreement with flydubai to add Software Distribution Tools to the list of Boeing services the airline utilizes to enhance maintenance and engineering operations, safety and efficiency across the airline's growing 737 fleet.
The agreement, which extends to flydubai's 737 MAXs, builds on flydubai's current implementation of Boeing's Airplane Health Management on the airline's Next-Generation 737s and 737 MAXs. Both are data analytics-driven Boeing solutions.
"Boeing's Airplane Health Management and other software tools allow flydubai to proactively initiate planning for necessary repairs, strengthening the efficiency of our 737 fleet operations," said Mick Hills, Senior Vice President, Engineering and Maintenance at flydubai. "By reducing the maintenance and ground time for our fleet, these solutions ultimately help to benefit on-time arrivals and departures for our customers."
"We are pleased to add flydubai to our roster of customers supported by our data analytics-driven products through which we are able to provide real-time data, enhancing and accelerating the airline's success as it continues to expand its 737 fleet," said David Longridge, vice president of sales and marketing, Boeing Commercial Aviation Services.
Boeing's Airplane Health Management is currently used by more than 90 airline fleets worldwide to collect and evaluate airplane operations data while the airplane is in flight. Designed to interface with existing airplane systems and communication infrastructure, the system captures real-time data and notifies ground crews of any potential maintenance issues before the airplane lands.
This minimizes schedule disruptions and maintenance delays, resulting in significant efficiencies and cost savings for airlines. The predictive analytics tools of AHM provide insights to the performance of the system to airline maintenance and engineering staff. These insights enhance safety, enable ground crews to address technical issues during scheduled maintenance, avoid costly disruptions and reduce overall maintenance costs.

C-740 Ultra Zoom review
By Tracey Capen | on August 11, 2003
Price When Reviewed: £340 plus VAT
Expert Rating:
Best prices today
Olympus's C-740 isn't the first digital camera to have a 10x optical zoom, but it is the first we've reviewed that costs under £400. At its maximum focal length, the zoom is the 35mm equivalent of a 380mm telephoto lens – sufficient for sports, nature, and other outdoor shooting. This camera takes the kitchen-sink approach to exposure controls: in addition to a full-automatic mode, you can switch between six scene modes, aperture and shutter priority, a program mode, and full manual. It also has manual focus. The useful My Mode option lets you save up to four customized groupings of control settings – typically, different combinations that you use frequently. The C-740 earned the highest scores we've recorded among 3mp cameras. Although most of its shots were a shade underexposed, they had nice detail and solid, accurate, well-saturated colours. Our outdoor photo, taken on a bright, sunny day, showed almost no noise in the blue sky, although the blue appeared a bit flat. The C-740 also captured shadow details that many units tend to miss. The one knock: a shot taken indoors with flash displayed slightly cadaverous skin tones. Most of our casual photos looked surprisingly sharp and nicely exposed, except for an outdoor portrait with fill flash, in which our model's skin was badly overexposed. We found the C-740 easy to use. Though we prefer optical viewfinders for their clarity, the C-740's electronic eye-level viewfinder is bright, sharp, and eyewear friendly. It has one big advantage over most, too: you can check out your settings without looking at the LCD. A large dial on the top of the camera lets you switch among the exposure modes (including the scene settings), and dedicated buttons let you turn on the self-timer, macro mode, and flash settings. Typical of recent Olympus cameras, when its menus are activated, you can use the four-way navigation buttons as shortcut keys. The menus are typically four layers deep, but they're well organized. The optical zoom works smoothly, but the camera seems slow to refocus. Olympus addressed one complaint we've had with its previous cameras: the lens cap now attaches to the end of the lens, not the body. That lets you leave the camera on and use the cap to protect the lens between shots – especially useful in dusty conditions. Another improvement is the ability to edit video in the camera, albeit on a simple level: you can trim scenes from movies. When playing back video, you can fast-forward, reverse, or view it frame-by-frame. Like all Olympus digital cameras, this model comes with Camedia Master, a robust application for managing, sharing, printing, and editing. The documentation didn't thrill us. Though the C-740 comes with a nice getting-started poster, the booklet covers the basic controls and functions while mentioning the more complex stuff only in passing. Olympus does include a full PDF reference manual, but it isn't easy to thumb through. Printed, the Acrobat file spanned over 200 single-sided pages. Other gripes: about half the size of a postage stamp (or an SD Card), the XD-Picture Card media is easy to lose, and most media readers and kiosks don't yet support it. And because it's relatively new, it tends to be more expensive than more common types of media. Using the flash during close-up photography can be a problem, too – if you get within five inches of your subject, the lens can cast a large shadow in the bottom of your shot.

An overview of the nature of corruption in South Sudan and the legal and institutional framework available to address it
Please provide an overview of the nature of corruption in South Sudan. What legal and institutional framework is available to address corruption?
Corruption permeates all sectors of the economy in South Sudan and all levels of the state apparatus, and manifests itself through various forms, including grand corruption and clientelistic networks along tribal lines.Since independence, the country has taken steps to promote transparency and accountability to fight corruption, South Sudan's anti-corruption framework is still in its infancy. Where legal instruments exist, lack of capacity, resources and political will often hamper effective implementation.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Don't worry, the white dog with the pink leg is supposed to be there, as are the bees, fake snow and rocks floating on water.
It's all part of the unpredictable and self-described "randomness" of French contemporary artist Pierre Huyghe's retrospective at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
The show, which opens on Sunday for its only U.S. viewing, exhibits 60 of Huyghe's works over the past 28 years. It includes videos, interactive works, paintings as well as animals and fake weather that visitors have to confront.
Huyghe's art, and the show as a whole, is an open environment meant to change and act randomly over time.
"I let the situation unfold; I just give the condition of a situation, but I do not know the outcome," said the 52-year-old artist.
His works like "Human," the white Ibizan Hound with the pink leg freely roaming the labyrinthine gallery of sharp diagonal walls, challenge easy definition.
"I might not even try," said the show's curator Jarrett Gregory, who called Huyghe's art an outlier in the contemporary landscape.
"It's about the experience and not looking at discrete works," Gregory added. "It's a redefinition of what we typically expect when we think of an artwork."
The retrospective has already been on view at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, Germany. The LACMA show also features the premiere of "Precambrian Explosion," an aquarium with a live ecosystem and floating rock.
Visitors are also able to step out into the California sun as machines overhead dump fake snow, fog and rain all while thousands of bees swarm from a concrete classical sculpture of a lounging nude woman with beehive head, "Untilled (Liegender Frauenakt)."
Huyghe says he likes to remove viewers from our human system of knowledge making them confront animal instincts.
The 19-minute film "Untitled (Human Mask)," a confusion of human and animals, set against the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan shows a monkey in a white mask with long brown-haired wig wandering its own learned habitat: the restaurant where it works in real life.
"I'm interested in the fact that I just can't say, do this or do that ... This animal will have a survival instinct. You need to either reproduce or eat," he said.

Republicans Lose, Bigly
From Iron Knee at Political Irony:
The Republicans have been trying to repeal Obamacare for seven years. While Obama was president, they passed bills over 50 times repealing the ACA, only to have them vetoed by the president (or die in the Senate). Back then, that was easy because they knew it wouldn't ever become effective, so they would not have to suffer the blowback from 25 million people losing their health care.
But now, the GOP controls both houses of Congress and the White House, and they failed. Wasn't even that close. It was so bad, they didn't even dare bring it up for a vote.
Of course, immediately afterward Trump tried to blame the Democrats because none of them voted for a bill that would dismantle one of Obama's greatest achievements:
Another Trumpworld Grab Bag
From Vixen Strangely at Strangely Blogged:
News Alert: @POTUS spending weekend working at the White House. pic.twitter.com/kAtZVQE2Mr
— Fox News (@FoxNews) March 26, 2017
I just want to point out that this weekend is another weekend where President Trump visited a couple of his golf courses to hit the links and schmooze in familiar surroundings, like he does most weekends since he became president, and Fox Mushroom Farm is being a little less than honest in pretending that he literally spent the whole weekend at the White House. There is photographic proof he did not. Just because he went to the golf course that he owns closest to the White House does not mean he worked at the White House. He smacked a little white ball around. And I get that Republicans have very little trouble with Trump always being golfing. So Eisenhower! Very suburban! Oddly, they never liked to see Barack Obama smacking little white balls around.
But you know, this is Fox News, after all, the official sponsor of saying stuff out loud that Trump doesn't want folks to know came from him, except that you do.
Kindness or Cruelty? "If Your Animal Needs You, You Gotta Be There"
From Michael John Scott at MadMikesAmerica:
Life can be filled with unkindness and in some cases unkindness can often be the best kindness, as is the sad case of Michael Whalen and his beloved dog Allie.
Whalen was charged by the Virginia Beach patrol for animal cruelty after allegedly shooting Allie, his dog of 15 years. He says it was an act of kindness, not abuse.

Dems Stop Being 'Polite' In The Face Of GOP Policies
From Frances Langum:
#TrumpCare steals billions from Medicaid and cuts taxes for the richest Americans. This is shameful. #PayMoreForLess #ProtectOurCare pic.twitter.com/CzkMwhC5hH

We're Not Done Yet
From PZ Myers:
The crappy Republican version of health care went down in flames (yay!), but don't get cocky, kids. We're not done. The Republicans still control everything, and they've got less flashy, less public, sneakier plans to destroy everything you hold dear.
Like science.
Who to Trust More: The GOP Deregulationists or the Statists
From Libertarian Michael A. LaFerrara at Principled Perspectives:
The credibility of this rant against deregulation collapses with a single statement; "Odd, we thought . . . people were learning that burning fossil fuels threatens everything we value."
If this is the mindset of the people making environmental regulations—and there is every indication that it is—then every environmental regulation is suspect.
The fossil fuel industry is a heroic, morally virtuous industry that provides, and will be needed for the foreseeable future to provide, the vast bulk of the energy that drives our industrial economy, and thus the well-being of human beings. The benefits far outweigh the negatives, yet the environmentalist mindset is blinding hostility toward the fossil fuel industry, despite its huge value.
Just who is the fossil fuel industry? Its investors, employees, and customers—in other words, all of us. If we value our lives—and the Star-Ledger apparently believes nobody values their lives—then it is the enemies of fossil fuels who threaten everything we value.
Ding, Dong, the Bill is Dead
From Infidel753:
Epic fail. Epic pwnage. Obama gets the last laugh.
For the second time in as many days, the House vote on the bill to take away 24 million people's health insurance was canceled because defeat was certain. The solid opposition of House Democrats was a necessary precondition for that defeat, but the Republican majority still couldn't pass it, because they were not similarly united. And it's important to remember why.

The software giant said weaknesses in server service mechanisms within these OSes could allow for remote code execution (RCE) exploits through the use of a "specially crafted" remote procedure call (RPC) request.
RPC technology, first adopted by Microsoft in the mid-1980s, allows subroutine code to execute on other computers on a shared network. What's unique about this RPC vulnerability is that subroutines can be executed without programmer interference. It allows an almost automatic remote interaction between CPUs in a shared processing environment.
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability in the affected Windows OSes and run arbitrary code without authentication. Redmond is hastening an out-of-cycle patch because the vulnerability is reminiscent of self-replicating malware or a "wormable exploit," as Microsoft calls it.
"Based on the number of Windows systems that are potentially exposed to a massive attack, it was in Microsoft's best interest to just go ahead and patch it," said Jon Oltsik, an analyst at Milfort, Mass.-based IT research firm Enterprise Strategy Group. "This exploit that applies to this fix is not in the wild to a great degree but the thinking behind the bulletin was probably, 'why wait.'"
Security experts say that for users running newer versions of Windows, such as Vista and Windows Server 2008, the potential attack associated with this bulletin cannot be anonymous and must use authenticated user credentials to exploit the vulnerability. However, they do warn that this does not mean it's impossible to exploit the vulnerability in a newer Windows OS. It just won't be as easy.
Nevertheless, the common consensus among observers is that IT pros should install the patch now.
"In normal situations, administrators could typically test the patch against their production network to ensure the patch does not break functionality," said Jason Miller, security data team manager at St. Paul, Minn.-based Shavlik Technologies. "But in this situation, enterprise IT workers should patch this vulnerability immediately to their servers and workstations."
It's not often that Redmond issues off-cycle or out-of-band patches. It's done so just a handful of times since 2006. Coincidentally, 2006 was the year a similar patch pertaining to this issue was released. Thursday's patch replaces that September 2006 hotfix.
Because the fix is critical and will require a restart, security pros say IT managers and staff should collaborate to ensure seamless installation and testing. They recommend coordinating with desktop or end-point support personnel, as well as with network administrators and off-site consultants, where applicable.

When it comes to furnishing our homes we often go along the lines of the cheaper, the better. But for some items are worth splashing out for – such as your bed, after all we spend more than half our lives sleeping so we might as well make sure we're comfortable!
But sometimes it's not easy to invest in a new bed – after all they can be pricey, especially with new designs like individual spring mattresses and memory foam. So what can you do to improve the bed you already have?
There are a few things to consider – if your mattress is really uncomfortable for example, with springs sticking out, big lumps and lots of creaking, then it may be time to consider replacing it. However, if there are a few minor lumps and bumps, they could be sorted out with the help of a memory foam mattress topper, like this one from Silent Night! Memory foam was developed by NASA to help absorb impact but it's a brilliant material that helps distribute your weight evenly and 'cradles' your body, which should not only help with a lumpy mattress but also with those aches and pains too.
However, if your mattress is really beyond repair and you want a bed that you can actually sleep on, then you might be left wondering what on earth you should be buying, as there's so much choice these days. Here's a quick guide to the types of mattress available:
Open Spring: The biggest selling mattress in the world with a wire edge to help the mattress keep
its shape.
Pocket Spring: Springs are individually housed in each pocket, allowing for greater comfort than an open spring mattress and helping weight distribution. Reduces the rolling effect if you and your partner differ greatly in body size. With over 1000 pocket springs, this Rest Assured mattress will help you to get a good night's sleep.
Visco-elastic (memory foam): Reacts to body heat and provides excellent support for joints, reducing pressure points. Maximises weight distribution, so you won't feel your partner shuffling about! Hypo allergenic and has anti-microbial properties. Take a look at the different types of memory foam mattresses here.
Now you've picked your mattress type, what about the actual bed frame? Here's a quick guide to the most common types of bed to choose from:
Divan: A divan bed acts as a solid base for a sprung mattress – providing additional support and are perfect if you are short on space, since most come with built in drawers underneath. Take a look at our selection of divan beds to pick the right one for you.
Bedstead: These are more decorative, often havinga built in head/foot board. A bowed slat basewill allow for more cushioned support. They can be made from a variety of materials including wood, metal and leather frames. Obviously, this comes down to personal preference but we love this classic faux-leather bedstead – timeless elegance and in-built storage underneath too!
Storage beds: Some beds are built specifically with storage in mind –with inbuilt drawers underneath. Some can even house additional guest beds underneath, commonly for children's beds for when they may have friends to stay over! Others, like this Camdon lift-up storage bed, offer you storage space that is often wasted.
Once you've found your perfect bed, you want to make it as inviting as possible. With star luxury available you'll be spoilt for choice with our celebrity ranges. We love Coleen's debut home collection – for a pretty Spring look why not check out her Serena range with gorgeous lilac butterflies or opt for Country House chic with Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen's 'Wings of Love' bed runner for a real bedroom makeover?

Discussion in 'Dancing on TV' started by sbrnsmith, Aug 23, 2016.
A www- Sasha and Emma- my cold heart just melted a little!
And.... Ryan and Cheryl are safe!
They were being a little too kind with some of those scores... poor performance of one of my favorite cha cha songs. Nothing in it was just particularly bad, but there was a clear lack of effort in it.
Don't care for Gleb.
When are the team dances? Those are usually fun
I think next week, at least according to Wikipedia.
Gleb is eye candy...
I liked Jana and gleb this week but the double aerial cartwheel by Lindsey and Calvin was siiiicckkkk
I wish they had done some actual tango under the shower. Once they got there it was all lifts and poses and stuff.
Not enough room and too risky. Glen slipped twice as it was. Watch again
yeah, I felt the bedroom/shower tango was overscored just because of the supposed "wow" factor. The tango itself was decent, but not 10-worthy.
Anyone still watching the show? The semifinal was actually decent for everyone dancing. The over-scoring though is way out of hand it seems without Len there.
Yeah, overscoring for some, which made others relatively underscored. It's probably the right four in the finals though.
I just figured that they were scoring everyone about the same to make it mostly up to the viewer votes to decide. Perfect scores should NOT be that easy to get. Screwing up and still getting a 9?!? WTH.
Laurie is so over rated. I hate saying that about a 16 year old- I hate you show!
I love Calvin.
Miss Ryan andCheryl
Jana- whatever
James- glad to see sharna back
Totally agree. I noticed the high semi-final scoring many seasons ago. Maybe it is intended to generate more excitement for the finals. Hype trumps substance. However, I am impressed how the some of the dance neophytes discover a natural talent and give us many enjoyable (and sometimes astonishing) performances.

Water Services Trust Fund
|Just moments after meeting, we knew we needed a photo together.
Today I met with members of the sanitation team at WSTF. The Water Services Trust Fund, Kenya, was established under the Water Act, 2002 with the mandate "to assist in financing the provision of water services to areas of Kenya which are without adequate water services." They receive and utilize funds from governments all over the world.
Standing next to me here is Ismail Fahmy Shaiye, the new CEO. He did not know I was coming today, but his eyes got big when I said I was from Vermont. So did my eyes when he told me, "I went to Vermont Law School!" Can you believe it? He is an Environmental Lawyer and he remembers the Pheonix composting toilets Abe installed at UVM. He decided to sit in on my presentation.
|A cup of tea together, our work on the big screen and a great discussion.
This team is just beginning to implement a very large grant from the Gates Foundation to install latrines in several smaller cities in Kenya. They said that it is not too late for them to be hearing about us, and they are very curious and interested in how we could collaborate. I am so proud of our work at the Rich Earth Institute. We can make a significant contribution to help solve this global sanitation crisis!
|I didn't write down everyone's name (and I can't remember) –
but Simon, on the right smiled after the photo and said,
" We are like a cult….we sanitation people…we understand each other."
What a GREAT day!

TOS – Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Neuromuscular Deep Tissue Massage can reduce your Thoracic Outlet syndrome (TOS and much more. Repetitive motion from sports, muscle fatigue decreases proper circulation to these areas can cause deep aches, throbbing, tingling, numbness, spasming, shooting pain in the neck, spine, arms and hands. TOS may cause you to loose sleep and take a leave of absence from work.
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) is a group of distinct disorders producing signs and symptoms attributed to compression of nerves and blood vessels in the thoracic outlet region or vertebra connected to the rib cage from the shoulder to mid- back.
Clinical signs and symptoms of TOS usually include deep joint and muscle pain in the neck and shoulder area and numbness and weakness in the arms and hands.
Risk factors for TOS may include trauma to the shoulder/neck, postural distortions, congenital anomalies (cervical rib and band syndrome). Epidemiologic studies have shown that TOS may be associated with certain occupations that involve repetitive motion in work environments. When your body is in static postural positions for prolonged periods of time at your desk as well as jobs involving heavy lifting contributes towards these symptoms.
A variety of other conditions may produce signs and symptoms that may be confused with TOS including carpal tunnel syndrome, cervical spine disease (Scoliosis) with nerve root compression, tumors of the spinal cord or brachial plexus, as well as a variety of other neuromuscular disorders.
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS)
Examples of symptoms described by those suffering from TOS. These are excerpts from a medical chat room web site where surgery and medication was prescribed. Two to four years later these patients were still in pain and the pain was moving throughout their body.

Leonardo DiCaprio And Girlfriend Kelly Rohrbach Split
Leonardo DiCaprio and his girlfriend Kelly Rohrbach have split, a source close to the actor confirms to Gossip Cop. There was talk over New Year's of DiCaprio and Rohrbach having broken up when he threw a bash in a villa in St. Barts filled with a slew of other models.
Gossip Cop is told DiCaprio and Rohrbach went their separate ways shortly after Thanksgiving, which was the last time the couple had been seen together. Their work commitments are being mentioned as the reason for their split. An insider tells Gossip Cop there are "no hard feelings," adding that it was "mutual" and "amicable."
DiCaprio and Rohrbach started dating last summer. While together, Gossip Cop exclusively debunked a number of inaccurate reports about the pair, including an OK! cover story in October that wrongly claimed they were engaged. The tabloid falsely reported that DiCaprio had popped the question to Rohrbach on September 26 while the two enjoyed dinner in a New York restaurant. At the time, a mutual pal of ours and the actor said story was untrue "garbage."
Rohrbach is the latest blonde model not to make it to the altar with DiCaprio. His past ex-girlfriends include, Gisele Bundchen, Toni Garrn, Erin Heatherton, and Bar Refaeli.

Does Stem Cell Therapy Really Work?
Stem Cell Therapy is a topical cream treatment that can make your skin look fine and smooth. This topical skin treatment can add life to your skin and make you feel young once again. Here are some of the advantages: It increases production of new skin cells; It revives your old stem cells and energizes new ones; It reduces wrinkles; It increases elastin synthesis. This anti-aging solution will not need such medical instruments like scalpels and syringes. This product prevents the need for lots of cover-up makeups that just hide your skin. It increases collagen production while preventing the appearances of wrinkles. It works like a switch by telling your skin to produce your own stem cells. Stem Cell Therapy can change the way you look and make you feel good about it.

I've searched around a bit it seems that you need to start the game with IOS249 but that didn't work as well...I can only deduce that I have an older version of IOS249. can anyone link me the latest version of whatever I need to install to play the game but without messing any of the currently working games? and since I've been out of the loop for more than a year now,I can hardly remember what to do with those .wad files and everything else so if someone could provide me with instructions on how to get it working,that would be awesome

In today's turbulent business climate, leaders are facing complex problems. A leader's ability to successfully navigate continually changing, uncertain waters requires continual reflection and improvement. A great resource for developing your leadership capability can be found in the book, Leadership Agility by William B. Joiner and Stephen A. Josephs.
In their book, Joiner and Josephs state that, "At its core, leadership agility is a process of stepping back from your current focus in a way that allows you to make wiser decisions and then fully engage in what needs to be done next. We call this core process reflective action. Reflective action is both the essence of leadership agility and the best way to develop it."
And just how is reflective action both an essence of leadership agility and the best way to develop it? The paradox is easily resolved once you understand what it is.
First, pick one issue, but before you jump to a solution, make sure that you fully understand the issue. The next step – and one that is commonly overlooked according to Joiner and Josephs – is to clarify your desired outcome. Then clarify what you need to do to achieve your desired outcome. And finally, after you have taken action, reflect and learn from what happened.
The process sounds very agile to me! And as you may have surmised, reflective action can be something that is rapid and intuitive, like when you are in the midst of a conversation, or it can be more deliberate and systematic, such as taking time to thought in developing a new business strategy.
It does take a willingness to look honestly at yourself, along with a little curiosity, courage, and self-confidence to experiment with new behaviors. The good news is that you can make reflection action a daily practice and a means of continually improving as a leader.

RFI/RFP Management
At some point, most companies will issue a Merchant Services RFI (Request for Information) or a RFP (Request for Proposal) to find the right payment solutions provider. Companies typically go through RFI/RFP process because they are looking for better pricing, a better service provider, or simply trying to gauge changes in the marketplace since the last time they negotiated their payments contract. Many treasury professionals find the RFP process to be time consuming and find deciphering the nuances in the payments landscape to be very complex. Merchant acquirers or payment processors use different names and acronyms when presenting pricing, product features and capabilities, Service Level Agreements, and reporting capabilities. Unlike buying insurance where multiple providers can be easily compared, buying payment processing services is extremely difficult.
Optimized Payments Consulting helps clients simplify their RFI/RFP process by leveraging its experience in the payments industry and its large database of previously negotiated agreements. We help clients align their point-of-sale, technology integration, service, reporting, and financial needs with an optimal acquiring partner. Moreover, we help our clients negotiate very competitive pricing and service level agreements. Our Fortune 1000 clients tell us that we helped them achieve better results than they could have achieved on their own. In fact, the payback period for our consulting fees is typically 1-2 months.
We work with clients to manage all or part of the RFI/RFP process, based on their needs. Contact us to see how we can help you!

On the surface, it may seem like pregnant women are hard to shop for — especially if you've never been pregnant yourself.
But in reality, there are actually a ton of things that an expecting mama wants (and needs) that make for perfect presents. Check out these fun gifts.
Originally published December 2015. Updated November 2016.
Every mom needs a diaper bag, but she'd adore this over-the-top incredible diaper bag that looks more like an amazing purse. She won't splurge on it, but you can. (charlotte+asher, $195)
This glorious chemise from Cake Maternity is perfect for her expanding belly and designed for easy breastfeeding access after her baby is born. (Cake Maternity, $85)
Organic cocoa butter blends with organic shea and organic essential oils into a massage bar from LUSH that pregnant moms will love. (LUSH USA, $12)
Pamper the mama-to-be with this amazing gift set from Dear Baby Products (Etsy, $75).
The mama-to-be on your list will love a big box full of awesome baby toys. And her baby will too. (Please and Carrots, price varies)
Gift her with grocery delivery services that she can customize to her own needs, for before or after the baby is born.
Gorgeous and warm, the aden + anais daydream blanket is perfect for snuggling on the couch. (aden + anais, $150)
For those moms-to-be who are on bed rest, a brand-new tablet (Amazon.com, $50) can help beat the boredom.
A generous gift of a one-time deep cleaning will be very much appreciated.
A cute pregnancy journal that the expectant mother can use to pen her wishes, hopes and dreams is an excellent gift. (Amazon.com, $14)
Toasty toes can be the difference between comfort and misery for a pregnant mama. (Duluth Trading Company, $20)
If you're looking to really splurge, a nice camera is the perfect gift for an expecting mother. Smart phones work in a pinch, but there's really no substitute for a quality camera. (Best Buy, $500)
This "grassy" drying rack is not only super functional, it's also super cute. Expecting mamas who don't want to skimp on pretty design in their home will truly appreciate it. (Amazon, $14)
These fun prenatal headphones attach to her belly so baby can listen to music and voices, which is said to help with brain development. (Amazon, $50)
This shirt is funny because it's so true. (Thug Life Shirts, $28)
When you're pregnant, even just shaving your legs is a major chore. A handy-dandy extension pole makes things a little easier. (Amazon, $30)
Just because she's pregnant, it doesn't mean she doesn't still want a fun cocktail. Preggatinis: Mixology for the Mom-To-Be has a bunch of tasty virgin drinks, so she can still party during the holiday season. (Amazon, $12)
Help her feel pampered at home with Mama Mio's "Your Pregnancy Essentials" lotion and face wash kit. (Amazon, $36)
She may be pregnant, but that doesn't mean she wants diapers!

My goal this week is to live in the sunshine, swim in a pool (it'll have to do as we live in the mountains), and drink the wild air!
It's dang hot right now where we live, but outside is where my children constantly want to be and this week I am going to join them, as much as I possibly can.
We will be hiking and biking and swimming, and loads of other fun things. I'll be sure to follow up with of our adventures!

Who Has High Tendencies of Having Shared Psychotic Disorder
It is possible for a person to have a psychotic disorder at a given time after mingling with a person who is already diagnosed with psychosis. This condition is known as the shared psychotic disorder. As the term implies, this psychotic disorder develops after a healthy person mingles with a psychotic one. Here are the people who are vulnerable to having shared psychotic behavior.
If you have known a psychotic person all your life and that you had some sort of relationship be it by blood or merely friendship, you are in for a risk of having shared psychotic behavior. This happens because you have known the person for so long and you had that connection. This special connection would yield results such as believing in the delusions and hallucinations of the patient without realizing that these are all unhealthy beliefs.
Those who have difficulty in coping or have that difficulty in building up social relationships are at risk to developing shared psychotic disorder too. This especially happens when the person isolates himself from the society and the only one present to mingle with is the person diagnosed with psychosis. Socially unhealthy people tend to withdraw from people and has therefore poor ability to think soundly too. This is even a disorder termed as the anti-social behavior problem which may result to psychosis if not taken action of.
The only difference between a person suffering from shared psychotic disorder and a person diagnosed to have psychosis is the fact that the former has the ability to think soundly. Though delusions and hallucinations are present, the person is not disconnected from the realities of life.
There is also a good prognosis for people suffering from shared psychotic disorder. After the person is separated from the one who has psychosis, he or she will return to a normal healthy mind. This can just happen at any time. But, for a speedy recovery, there are several ways on how this disorder can be eradicated fast.
The most effective, convenient and cheapest way to correct this problem is through family therapy. Merely showing support may help the person return to the normal state. Instead of isolating the person, encourage discussions to the affected person.
If possible, let the person stay away from the one with psychotic behavior. Let him or her mingle with healthy people instead so that the idea of delusions and hallucinations will be erased and that reality is introduced. This would also encourage the person to mingle with people effectively rather than isolating self that may result to having vulnerability to psychological disorders.
Though shared psychotic disorder is a mild condition, there is still a great deal over preventing it from happening. If there is a person in the household diagnosed with psychosis, let this person be admitted to a psychiatric facility for treatment. This way, the person affected may be treated to wave away delusions and hallucinations and people attached to the person will not suffer from getting the same unrealistic beliefs.

I finally hooked up with my ex yesterday it was amaaaazing !
I posted last week i belive about having 2 emotional affairs here is the link just in case :
Anyways me and one of the finally hooked up yesterday, we both left work early and went to a local hotel for about 3hrs it was so much fun, we smoked some MJ (it was my first time smoking in over 4yrs) & we just went at it. We talked just like the old time when we were bff(because after we broke up in hs we still remained bff) It felt so good catching up with him and doing other things if you know what i mean. His penis was so much bigger then my SO, but i didnt tell him that,i woke up today so exhausted from all the fun. I hope we can keep this going. We both know it's not right but in reality we don't care he is legally married because he had to since he got her pregnant and im with my SO because i got pregnant also although we are not married we still live together and have 2 kids. I know im gonna get bashed for this but to me its just all in good fun, i deserve some time off from my hectic & boring life.
the reason why i'm doing it is for many reasons but to be honest i know my SO is not the love of my life for a fact, theres just so many things different between us, plus he has so many issues to he is not perfect.
Quoting Anonymous:
I'm not gonna bash you. T actually does feel good to know that someone else is taking care of your needs. I have cheated before and if I wasn't pregnant I would do it again. I did it because my sex life with dh sucks to the point where he only wants it once a month and I couldnt take it anymore so I cheated.

"I do know the evil that you do, because I was once part of it"
This quote sums up why so many people have fallen in love #TomHardy's show Taboo. It's a challenging, bold and unabashedly unique series that follows a decidedly dissolute character through the darkness, dirt and debauchery of Regency Britain.
Following his father's death, James Keziah Delaney (Hardy) — who is presumed dead himself — returns to London after a decade-long absence to claim his inheritance and forge his own path, regardless of the enemies he's making.
With a darkly supernatural feel, meditative tone and a riveting central performance, Taboo stands slightly apart from its period drama brethren. Not many series can boast cool hats, diamond dealings and voodoo sex, after all!
However, if Taboo has got you in the mood for more shows involving pithy put-downs, shady schemes, and the occasional frock coat, then look no further than the nine suggestions below!
9. Life on Mars (2006-2007)
Length: 2 Seasons
Starring: John Simm & Phillip Glennister
It may be the oldest show on the list, but time has not dimmed the excellence of Life on Mars. The story sees Manchester policeman Sam Tyler (Simm) repeatedly ask "Am I mad, in a coma, or back in time?" after he abruptly wakes up in 1973, after being hit by a car.
Leaning more towards a police procedural than a costume drama, it may not have the same visual pizzazz or the violence of Taboo, but Life on Mars more than makes up for this with its similarly rough-and-ready treatment of the past. Indeed, Sam has to frequently contend with the bigoted, knee-jerk responses of his boss, the beloved Gene Hunt (Glennister). Their bickering provides most of the show's humor.
But like Taboo, Life on Mars is granted even more depth through the increasing use of its supernatural elements, following its acclaimed opening (above). Heart-stopping, swashbuckling and thought-provoking, the central premise will keep you guessing throughout the show, and through its sequel Ashes to Ashes.
8. Wolf Hall (2015)
Length: 1 Season
Starring: Mark Rylance, Damian Lewis & Claire Foy
Wolf Hall is probably the most traditional British costume drama on this list, although dismissing it as such would do it a great disservice. Charting the rise of the powerful Thomas Cromwell (Rylance), who was an adviser to King Henry VIII (Lewis), the show follows his political manoeuvrings in a trying time for Britain. Like Taboo, it's brilliantly realized, and Hardy's Delaney is comparable to Rylance's Cromwell in that both characters scheme to get what they want, regardless of the consequences.
Highly praised in the UK, Wolf Hall also features Taboo alumni Mark Gatiss and Jonathan Pryce, as well as certain #TomHolland in his pre-#SpiderMan days.
7. Penny Dreadful (2014-2016)
Length: 3 Seasons
Starring: Eva Green, Timothy Dalton & Reeve Carney
If Taboo dips its toe into the pool of gothic fantasy, then Penny Dreadful dives straight into it with cackling abandon.
Created by Skyfall writer John Logan, as well as respected director Sam Mendes, the series is set in the Victorian era. It features famous literary creations such as Frankenstein's monster (Rory Kinnear) and Dorian Gray (Carney) interweaving in the most unexpected ways. Think of it as a sort of #MarvelCinematicUniverse for Gothic monsters, but with more melodrama, more gore and not as much team-assembling. Nevertheless, these icons are brought together in a skilful fashion, and the fact that they inhabit the same world is never forced or contrived.
The show may take a little bit of time to find its footing in its first series, but by Season 2, you'll be sorry you ever doubted it. The effects are outstanding, and the enchanting #EvaGreen is on fine form as she battles dark forces to help Sir Malcom Murray (Dalton) find his missing daughter...you'll soon be as addicted to it as Dracula is to blood!
6. The Knick (2014-Present)
Length: 2 Seasons (Currently)
Starring: Clive Owen, Andre Holland & Jeremy Bobb
The events in The Knick may unfurl nearly a century after the setting of Taboo, but there are a lot of parallels between the two shows. Stephen Soderbergh introduces us to a fictional version of the Knickerbocker Hospital of New York, at a point where society was undergoing a huge change thanks to increasing diversity and technological innovation...sound familiar?
We also witness the struggles of a highly strung and ambitious lead character; here, it is Clive Owen's Dr. Thackery, whose struggle for success is at odds with his own demons, which mainly revolve around his opium addiction. Andre Holland is another member of the highly capable and compelling cast, and he is as equally fantastic in The Knick as he is in the Oscar-courting movie #Moonlight.
Authentic and visceral, this is definitely one for Taboo fans — but don't watch on a full stomach like I did. It's pretty explicit in the operating theater scenes, and I can never look at spaghetti bolognese in the same way that I once did.

5. Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (2015)
Length: 1 Season
Starring: Bertie Carvel, Eddie Marsan & Marc Warren
Here's another spellbinding entry for the magically inclined! An adaptation of Susanna Clarke's novel, Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell was advertized as the works of Jane Austen meeting #HarryPotter, which is an accurate (although slightly simplistic) summary of this wildly imaginative show.
Based in the same time frame as Taboo, we enter an alternate version of the Napoleonic wars where magic is real, though shunned and unpracticed- except by the titular characters, that is. But when their education and rivalry in the mystic arts deepens, there are huge implications for the world at large. It also tackles the grim subject of slavery, which few historical dramas, except for the likes of Garrow's Law, tend to do.
This is another unique and thrilling show, where the eerie magic and exotic dimensions recall the dark visions and incantations spoken and seen by Tom Hardy's Delaney. Featuring sinister fairies and dark spells, this is another BBC drama that shouldn't be missed.
4. Black Sails (2014-2017)
Length: 4 Seasons
Starring: Toby Stephens, Hannah New & Luke Arnold
Shiver me timbers! Grab your grog, get your parrot to pipe down and feast your eyes on Black Sails, the show that serves as a prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novel Treasure Island. Captain Flint (Stephens) recruits John Silver (Arnold) as a cook, before becoming embroiled in a quest to acquire the treasure from the Spanish ship Urca de Lima.
There is a lot of pleasure to be had with this series, with its great visuals and its successful integration of the Treasure Island tale with fictionalized versions of real life pirates such as Blackbeard (Ray Stephenson) — but don't go into this show expecting #PiratesoftheCaribbean levels of daring heroism. Black Sails is a more thoughtful affair, concerning itself with the power plays between pirates instead of reveling in swashbuckling action; however, gory murders and heaving bosoms are never too far away.
Like the fuses to a gunpowder keg, Black Sails may be a slow and steady burn, but the payoff is explosive.
3. Whitechapel (2009-2013)
Length: 4 Seasons
Starring: Rupert Penry-Jones, Phil Davis & Steve Pemberton
London has a long history of violence and murder, and Whitechapel does a great job of reminding us of that fact. The inexperienced DI Chandler (Penry-Jones) and embittered D.S. Miles (Davis) are forced to work together when the city experiences a wave of copycat killings, which mimic the styles and scenarios of Jack the Ripper and the Kray Twins.
Whitechapel may not be the flashiest or sleekest of series on this list, but there is still a lot of good stuff to sink your teeth into. The updated takes on London's most notorious killers are as thrilling for fans of crime drama as they are for "Ripperologists" and other historians (who in turn receive a nod in the form of Steve Pemberton's marvelous, multi-faceted performance).
As the cases unfold, the darkened scenery drips with menace and unpredictability, and the audience is forever made uneasy as they peer to see what our hardened heroes will find, or do, next.
2. Ripper Street (2012-2016)
Length: 5 Seasons
Starring: Matthew Macfadyen, Jerome Flynn, Adam Rothenberg & Myanna Buring
Ripper Street follows Inspector Reid (Macfayden) and his fellow police officers who labor to keep law and order in the upswing in violent crime in the wake of Jack the Ripper. Indeed, the shadowy streets are bristling with conmen and killers, who even corrupt the corridors of state and law enforcement in later series.
With an eye on Guy Ritchie's #SherlockHolmes movies, Ripper Street is a far bloodier and — dare I say it — better offering than its progenitor; yet, even after it's resurrection, by Amazon it remains criminally overlooked and underrated. Rather than causing the show to stumble, the BBC's cancellation of it in 2013 only proved to catapult the show to even higher levels of sophistication.
Powerful performed (Myanna Buring and #GameofThrone's Jerome Flynn are particular standouts) as well as deftly scripted and strikingly shot, Ripper Street is definitely a show that you should consider watching if you enjoy Tom Hardy's Taboo.
1. Peaky Blinders (2013-Present)
Length: 3 Seasons (Currently)
Starring: Cillian Murphy, Sam Neill, Helen McCrory & Tom Hardy
If you're a fan of Taboo, Peaky Blinders MUST absolutely be a priority for you. Actually, even if you weren't a Taboo fan, this show should still top your 'To Watch' list. Following the First World War, the British Empire teeters on the beginnings of its collapse, whilst a criminal empire in Birmingham rises, lead by the wily Tommy Shelby (Murphy).
When you can count Snoop Dog and the late #DavidBowie among your fans, you know you're doing something right. As it is the case in Breaking Bad, you'll soon find yourself cheering on the cold-hearted criminals, despite the horrors they inflict upon each other. This crackling, stylish show is filled to the brim with fine thesps, and twists and turns aplenty. What else would you expect from the same people behind Taboo?
It's also very refreshing for British viewers to have a series that doesn't revolve around the default drama setting of central London. Seriously guys, check this one out.
With Taboo potentially running for two more seasons, it's going to be thrilling to see where the ever-stomping, perpetually moody-Delaney will go next in his quest for vengeance against the East India Trading Company. In the meantime, we can whisk ourselves away into these sensational shows, as we wait for even more greatness that will be coming our way!

[This was split by the moderators from a thread "Cincinnati Chili" on the Midwest board http://www.chowhound.com/topics/30780... ]
Skyline has sometimes been described more as a "condiment" than as a beefy, beany, tomatoey mess like texas chili. I love skyline and have a wicker clothing hamper full of cans of it, that I replenish with trips to Cincy taking empty suitcases outbound and cases from Krogers on the return.
I don't eat it like a big pot of chili, but instead use it like this (add your own variations):
* Heat up some frozen beef&cheese taquitos and smother them with Skyline chili and then reheat; you will never look back;
* Heat up some vegetables (e.g., okra, red peppers, sweet corn, onion) then stir them into polenta from an easy-to-use tube, then re-heat with Skyline chili and top off with goat cheese and sharp paprika (goat cheese goes FABULOUSLY with Skyline);
Skyline is indeed not "chili" like out of a Hormel can. It is a magnificently sublime substance that can be added in careful, measured amounts to substances like chevre, corn tortillas, zesty veggies, cheddar cheese, alfredo & white sauces, et. al. to yield something wildly satisfying. I grew up in Wisconsin, and only got hooked on Skyline on a couple rare trips to Cincy a decade or more ago, and now can't live without it.

Retaining wall
Here is a pressure treated wood retaining wall we completed last week. The old wall was built out of railway ties that were filled with creosote. We had to dispose of these a little differently than just dumping everything into the landfill. Permits were required and we had to take the old wall to a special site for disposal. Read More

Our office voted to head over to the re-opening of The Friendly Thai on Queen - re-opened as a buffet.
I am a big advocate of giving a new resto time to figure things out but I don't have a lot of patience for the veterans. I suppose it may be good in a month or two, but today it was completely gross!
Tasteless, oily, mostly meatless, over cooked. The place is arranged like the original cafeteria must have been in 1842 before they figured out how to arrange tables for comfort and flow. It is a pathetic set up with lousy food.
