Frequently Asked Questions
What is Vegetable Glycerin and why do I want it in my soap?
Vegetable Glycerin is a by-product of the soap-making process. It's a natural humectant, which means it attracts moisture from the environment to its surface. Glycerin's most common function in beauty products is to prevent soaps, creams and makeup from over-drying. South of France soaps are made with only the most pure vegetable ingredients: olive, palm and coconut oil. Because Vegetable Glycerin is a valuable commodity to the health and beauty industry as an additive in lotions and cosmetics, many soap manufacturers sell the glycerin that results from their soap-making process to other companies. South of France retains this important ingredient and adds it back into the soap. The resulting bars are excellent for dry skin, as the Vegetable Glycerin content helps hold moisture in the outer layers of the skin.
What are Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate and Sodium Tallowate?
Sodium Laureth Sulfate and its close relative, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLSs) are inexpensive synthetic foaming agents and degreasers, widely used in commercial soap production. In industrial application, SLSs are mainly used as engine degreasers, floor cleaners and car wash soaps. SLSs are commonly used in clinical trials to intentionally irritate the skin, so that researchers can measure the rate at which skin heals. SLSs are linked to eye irritation, rashes on the skin and scalp, and other allergic reactions. South of France soaps do not contain Sodium Laureth Sulfate or Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. SoF soaps produce rich, dense foam naturally and are gentle to the skin.
Sodium Tallowate (or Tallow) is animal fat, and is found in many commercial soap products. It is inexpensive, plentiful and has been known to clog pores. South of France takes pride in the fact that their products never contain any animal by-products and are cruelty-free (never tested on animals).
What is Shea Butter?
Shea Butter is derived from the nut of the Karite Tree, which is native to the dry savannah belt of West Africa, from Senegal to Sudan, and onto the foothills of the Ethiopian highlands. Shea Butter is a natural moisturizer, possessing a high concentration of Vitamin E. It nourishes, rejuvenates, hydrates, conditions the skin and promotes cellular growth. Although the Shea Nut is essentially a tree nut, it does not belong to the list of commonly allergenic tree nuts; there are no reports of allergic reactions to Shea Nuts or products containing Shea Butter. Additionally Shea Butter has been proven useful in relieving dry skin and dermatitis.
Are South of France soaps made in France?
South of France Natural Body Care was created by a French-American transplant who had become frustrated by the lack of quality body care products on the American market in the early 1990s. His vision was to bring artesian soap-making practices to America, to prove that it is possible to make high-quality, fragrant, natural soaps affordably. Nearly 20 years later, South of France has established itself as an innovator and leader in the American body care industry. Although the techniques used to create their body care products originated in the South of France, due to current economic pressures, all South of France products are now produced domestically, ensuring that South of France products are always available at a value.
Are South of France soaps hypo-allergenic?
South of France soaps are free from the following harsh chemical ingredients that are commonly used in the body care industry:
- No Sodium Laureth Sulfate/Sodium Laurel Sulfate
- No Tetrasodium EDTA
- No Parabens
- No Phthalates
- No Animal By-Products
- No Animal Testing
- No Synthetic Colorants
- No Synthetic Fragrances*
South of France cannot make the claim that their products are hypo-allergenic because they do use essential oils and blends of fragrance to impart scent to their products; often the ingredients used for fragrance can trigger specific allergic reactions. Typically, an individual who is sensitive to fragrance can work with his or her dermatologist or allergen specialist to isolate and identify which fragrance(s) trigger their specific reaction and thereby avoid using products with that particular fragrance. Because SoF products do not contain harsh chemical ingredients, often individuals who have (1) sensitive skin or (2) an allergy to one of the afore-listed harsh chemical ingredients, find that SoF products provide relief from their allergies/sensitivities while other, synthetic products fail to do so.
*Some of the fragrances used in their products are described as "blends of fragrance," which means that, while natural essential oils are used in formulating the fragrance, trace amounts of synthetic ingredients are also used. (These synthetic ingredients are not petroleum-based and do not contain phthalates.) This is necessary because it is impossible to achieve some fragrances naturally, without using harsh chemical preservatives. It is worth noting that fragrance typically accounts for less than 1% of the total composition of any one product. All South of France products are at least 99.1% natural, if not 100% natural.
What is the shelf-life for South of France soaps?
South of France soaps have a shelf life of at least 4 years, if not longer; however, the fragrances contained in their products will begin to fade after approximately two years. This is due to the fact that South of France products do not use harsh chemical preservatives, a decision that was made with your safety in mind. So, while your bar of Lavender soap (for example) may begin to lose its fragrance after two years, the bar itself will remain perfectly good & useable for up to four years.
Is South of France packaging recyclable?
Yes! The bar soap carton is 100% recyclable and is made from paper that has been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council that soil and wildlife habitats have been protected, local communities were consulted, and aboriginal rights respected. The bottle is manufactured from a minimum of 30% Post-Consumer Waste (PCW) and is BPA-free.

David Russell/Disney-ABC Domestic TV
Bring on the blue.
Dad-to-be Josh Duhamel revealed in funny fashion that he and wife Fergie will be welcoming a boy in late August/early September.
The Transformers actor, 40, confirmed the sex of his soon-to-be firstborn during a taping of LIVE with Kelly and Michael, which will air Wednesday.
During a segment called Du or Don't, Part II: Baby Edition, Ripa holds up two onesies – one pink, one blue – and asks him to choose between them. The actor played coy at first, and whipped the audience into a frenzy before snatching the blue onesie and holding it up in triumph.
The reveal comes just days after the expectant singer officially changed her name to Fergie Duhamel, ensuring that the new family will all have the same last name. Togetherness is important to the couple, Duhamel explains.
"I can't imagine having a kid and then not being able to be there – that would just drive me crazy. My head would be at home with mom and baby," the actor said recently. "We want to work it out so that we can be together; whether I am working, they can come with [me] or if she is working I can go with them. I can't see myself ever wanting to be away from my wife and kid."

A T-ara representative has opened up about the group's controversy.
On the August 3rd broadcast of JTBC's 'Entertainment Exclusive', the rep stated during an interview, "Hwayoung was the last to join the group. I'm sure she thought she was working hard, but that probably wasn't the case from the original members' point of view."
"Afterwards, Hwayoung developed a 'celebrity complex'," the rep continued. "She got arrogant, because she was a member of T-ara and she was also a celebrity. The other members started disciplining her about that, then things began escalating and ultimately got to where it is now."
Another representative added, "There are probably a few members within T-ara that got along with Hwayoung. But the more influential members' voices most likely became harder to ignore, and the members were probably in a difficult predicament where they had to choose a side."

Dr. Martens is a legendary brand. It all started in the German town of Seeshaupt in 1945, when a certain Dr. Klaus Maertens hurt his foot in a skiing accident in the Bavarian Alps. To make walking easier as he recovered, he designed a shoe with an air-cushioned sole. In 1959, the R. Griggs Group based in the English village of Wollaston decided to market the concept and designed the first work shoe to incorporate this revolutionary sole. The "Dr. Martens 1460" boot was launched on 1 April 1960 — the birth of an icon.

Chemistry Tutor Charlotte North Carolina
Certified Chemistry Tutor Charlotte North Carolina. Find Affordable Tutoring for elementary school, middle school, high school and college.
Students no longer need tutors to live in the same city, state, or country to get assistance. My friends are very smart so that wasn't the issue at all. I heard he went to pursue his first love, computers. Always keep paperwork in that cabinet, safely locked away, so that even your spouse can't access it. How do you convince your child that needing a tutor is not a bad thing? While a tutor can be an enlightening experience, having one can also be expensive and the time a tutor spends with your child is limited. If you wish to study on the night before your testing date, you can simply review the main principles of each subject matter. Does that leave you with any time whatsoever to take up a regular job? Selling on eBay (or Other Related Sites) This has come about to be one of the best ways to earn money online. Creating a college student-tutor connection in these types of context correctly addresses that goal. There are procedures and training methodologies to master abacus use. With this belief paradigm in hand we have accordingly built a company that is service motivated. When teaching adding even and odd numbers, whether in the classroom or at home, encourage kids to come up with the equations. no one wants to pay for specialized instruction and only be told what he or she is having difficulty with. Also, the online trainers are often known to be better than conventional educators and teachers when it comes to problem solving, explanation skills and query resolution. To prevent missing points on your math test because of simple math errors, plan on double-checking your work. That means they are pretty much available any time you need them since you'll either be in school in the morning or asleep at night. Free Math Help has neat readable and organized lessons. Most colleges and universities will give you a free diagnostic test to tell you if you are ready to start with the general studies math course or if you should drop back to a developmental math course that is at a lower level. Like many other subjects, math is also governed by set rules and techniques and once you have mastered these techniques, any mathematical problem will be easy to solve. Or you can even download some worksheets to ease the stress. And at higher levels of learning, the concepts of math become more complex with the introduction of different forms of math such as algebra, trigonometry and so on. Many students find math a challenging subject, and hiring a Math Tutor can provide a great solution for trouble in the classroom. Rote learning promotes memorization which is only one pathway to total comprehension. While there are parents that homeschool who have dropped out of high school, the vast majority have a bachelors degree or higher. My childhood memories of not being able to finish basic multiplication facts in a two-minute time frame sent me packing from math to my favorite world of words, literature, writing.

Voyage 5. A HYBRID'S HYBRIS…
THE CULTURAL "IMPORT" OF THE ORIENT may have far-reaching effects in a land of the Occident, as we have already seen happening in Spain, and especially in Andalusia: Phoenicians and Hellenes, Punics and Romans, Berbers and barbarians, Arabs and Moors, Jews and Gypsies (Roma), along, of course, with the local Iberians, who had been the result of other intermarriages, created a complex and diversified racial and cultural blend full of vitality and dynamism.
It goes without saying that Andalusia, Iberia as a whole, is not a unique case: there are similar ethno-cultural mosaics in each and every crossroad of space and time, of geography and history. If Iberia is the bridge between Europe and Africa, the Balkans and Asia Minor form an infinitely more important passage connecting the "old" world of Europe with the even "older" and "wiser" Asia. It is as clear as a sunny day, "brighter than the sun", as the Greeks used to say, that a "passage" between Scandinavia and Greenland, e.g. Iceland, would be of interest to almost no-one – except the Vikings! It is the destiny of those areas where, among other things, the sun is anything but bright…
If Iberia is the bridge between Europe and Africa, the Balkans and
Asia Minor form an infinitely more important passage connecting
the "old" world of Europe with the even "older" and "wiser" Asia.
"The lack of racial purity has had crucially beneficial resonances" in such cultural crossroads, Bartók has already made clear. "A complete separation from foreign influences means stagnation: well assimilated foreign impulses offer possibilities of enrichment." Yet, a positive process ends up as negative, and everyone is in a hurry to secure exclusive rights on common, undivided heritage. rebetiko e.g. is "authentically Hellenic, free from outside influence"; flamenco, too, is "purely and absolutely Andalusian". If we had politicians talking, we would pay no attention; but we have musicologists, the "experts". The flamencologist Donn Pohren, as an American, is not obsessed to see everything… pure as the driven snow:
"In their patriotic insistence on regional purity of expression I cannot help but think that these Andalusian musicologists have overlooked one thing: that Andalusia is a fabulous blend of races and cultures, and as such has only relatively recently developed a culture it can call its own. If they would only permit themselves to think of their blood mixture: Phoenician, Greek, Celtic, Roman, Vandal,(a) Visigothic, Moorish, Negro (Negroes were first introduced into Spain as Moorish slaves and soldiers), Jewish, Syrian, Indian, and so forth. And as much as both sides might wish to deny the fact, there has certainly been a strong intermixing of gypsy and andaluz blood in Andalusia. There are few pure gypsies left in Andalusia, and as for pure andaluces; just what is a pure andaluz?" (Lives and Legends of Flamenco, A Biographical History, The Dance Introduction).
"There are few pure gypsies left in Andalusia, and as for pure
andaluces; just what is a pure andaluz?" (Donn Pohren)
Artistic creation at these crossroads of the Mediterranean is highly attractive – for the additional reason that during the last centuries it is strongly influenced by external factors: mainly by developments in northern Europe and across the Atlantic. However, the components of such hybrids, born through a natural process, are anything but stable: they may vary depending on the circumstances. The fragile equilibrium of these heterogeneous elements that imbues them with irresistible charm is sometimes in danger of being upset. Their advantage may well turn into a disadvantage.
We can see, therefore, that conditions similar to those which made these hybrids be born, can now wipe them out. When new political conditions emerge and frontiers are surpassed or redrawn, the situation changes most radically. Such a radical change has been the creation of the European Union, or of the so-called "global village" – as it was equally radical on Iberian scale centuries ago when the Castilians became dominant throughout the peninsula except Portugal, with the expulsion of the Moors, Arabs or Berbers, that brought about the end of Muslim rule in Iberia.
Flamenco began to take shape in those new circumstances, in the midst of the persecutions the Castilians unleashed against all non-Catholics, spearheaded by the odious "Holy" Inquisition. Thus, flamenco is only indirectly related to the Andalusian music that flourished during the preceding centuries on both sides of the Strait of Gibraltar, being restricted later just in the Maghreb: the two arts never coexisted.
This fact, however, does not seem to bother those who, either in search of their cultural identity (a romantic quest), or commercial gain (a cynical quest), try to create brand new hybrids, cloned or not, hoping that under the new "globalized" conditions they will be sustainable and – this is even more important – profitable. Unfortunately (or, rather, fortunately), viable hybrids are born in real life rather than in a test tube, bottom-up and not top-down, through a long coexistence of ordinary people from different ethnicities, not through some initiatives, noble or not, by individual artists, however distinguished and talented they are.
Viable hybrids are born in real life rather than in a test tube, bottom-up
and not top-down, through a long coexistence of ordinary people from
different ethnicities, not through some initiatives by individual artists…
According to their own genealogical trees, those "romantics" highlight either the Arabic or the Indian elements of flamenco, having related collaborations.(b) There are, however, some… "realistically romantic" musicians suffused with "romantic realism", whose work, although not commercial, lies on a firm and sound basis. Their aim is not to combine two different – albeit akin – genres with an eye to… sex or marriage (i.e. mating or pairing them), but merely to revive a once live tradition, such as the Andalusian, in Spain. The simplest and most reasonable quest is often the most marginal…
Whatever the case, the conditions favour such ventures: the Arab world is a next-door neighbour, and the revival of Arab-Spanish relations is a very positive perspective – both economically and politically. The Indies, on the other hand, appear not only distant but also exotic. Even if the political motive is absent, such collaborations satisfy the public's thirst for exoticism. This is one of the reasons that such hybrids proliferate – and are… sold out! The aficionados may turn their backs on such projects and thus the musicians alienate themselves from their best allies, but this seems hardly to bother them. Perhaps because they no longer depend on aficionados; they depend on the venues and the companies distributing music and organizing concerts. Living under a "market economy", it's natural for them to have "market behaviour". The corrupting money…
"Money, not afición,(c) is today's God, overwhelming both purity of expression and the flamenco way of life",(d) Pohren comments in the Foreword of his Lives and Legends of Flamenco. And in The Song Introduction, under the heading Creation, he explains:
"In recent years there have been various attempts at creativity within the cante.(c) One has been the movement to take flamenco back to its Arabic roots, the result being called Andalusí. Lole and Manuel started the movement when she began singing Moorish-sounding love songs to a bulerías beat. The result was interesting, but not considered flamenco by the serious aficionado.(c) Along the same lines Juan el Lebrijano and his guitar accompanist got together with a group of Moorish musicians, including an excellent Moorish singer, Mohamed Chkara, and alternated coplas.(c) The effect was much more Moorish than flamenco, exotic and catchy and a good seller of records… But el Lebrijano was tame compared to Enrique Morente, many of whose innovations were so unusual as to be nearly unrecognizable as flamenco. Some of Camarón de la Isla's innovations carried more flamenco punch – others were based on crowd pleasing pop songs…
"I have tolerated El Turronero's renditions of la caña and el polo to the accompaniment of a punk rock group and two sexy go-go girls.* I have witnessed La Bernarda de Utrera on stage in Madrid sing only cuplés por bulerías. This is truly sacrilege, for La Bernarda is capable of excellent, meaningful cante. I have watched such excellent flamenco dancers as El Güito and Merche Esmeralda merge flamenco with modern dancing to Emilio de Diego's abstract guitar composition (taped) and the equally as abstract singing of a young cantaor.(c) The guitar composition was interesting if overly repetitious, but the dancing was simply dull and might be crossed off as a not-so-dazzling experiment. What was really maddening is that Güito and Merche, two of the finest flamenco dancers, were each permitted to dance only one authentic flamenco dance during the entire show. More subtly distressing was a performance of Enrique de Melchor, son of the late, great Melchor de Marchena. Enrique, in an accompanying role, proceeded to prove to the audience that he is without doubt one of flamenco's top guitar virtuosos; he was simply bubbling over with technique… In the process, of course, he completely overshadowed the singers he accompanied, which used to be a major sin for accompanists. Oddly enough, if the singers realized what was happening (they must have) they didn't seem to mind, for Enrique is much in demand as an accompanist. Perhaps the singers are getting used to it… Lastly, there are the many groups who have incorporated a variety of instruments into their pseudo-flamenco efforts…"
* Let's consult The Encyclopedia of Flamenco in the first book of Pohren's trilogy, The Art of Flamenco, to realize how grave Turronero's sacrilege was:
"The caña and polo have become known as the most pure and ancient forms of flamenco still in existence… [They] say that they are the first outcroppings of gypsy cante. [Nevertheless], they are much too formal in structure, and greatly lacking in primitive emotion, signifying that they had a more literate background, very likely religious, probably the Gregorian chant…(e)
"Two early literary references to the caña cast light on its naming and pre-flamenco origin. The earliest was written by the Englishman Richard Ford in 1830. He wrote that the caña, 'is actually the guannia, or Arabic song'… Another early writer, Estébanez Calderón, wrote in 1847 much the same information about the caña having derived its name from the 'guannia', which signifies 'song' in Arabic. He goes on to describe the singing of the caña in much the same way as Ford. What does this signify, if these gentlemen are correct? For one thing, that the name 'caña' came from 'guannia', and that before becoming flamenco it was an Arabic song. It follows that the polo had much the same birth. And something else, more important: that no doubt far more flamenco than theorists like to think had its origins in the Oriental music of Spain's neighbors to the South."
"Far more flamenco than theorists like to think had its origins in the
Oriental music of Spain's neighbors to the South." (Donn Pohren)
It is in such cases that those who consider a hybrid to be a bastard are justified. And it's sad because, behind such characterizations and arguments, racist views perhaps underlie. Unfortunately, it is true: Although appealing with an irresistible charm, a hybrid may occasionally end up as ὕβρις–hybris (or hubris)…

Parkway Hitch Bike Carrier
It's not hard to spend $400 on a bike rack, but why bother when you can get the Thule Parkway Hitch 4-Bike Carrier for virtually half as much? It's not like the Parkway's been gutted to make it more affordable, either. It locks right into your vehicle's standard hitch receiver, and holds your bikes solidly in the classic anti-sway cradles, so they don't smash into each other even when you're grinding up rocky roads to the top of an epic shuttle lap. The Parkway can haul up to 140lb, so even four burly rigs should be able to fit without an issue.
- Rack for car shuttles and family trips
- Steel construction is extremely strong
- Rubber cradles are gentle on your bike frame
- Compatible with standard 2-inch hitch receivers
- Carries up to 140 pounds and fits up to four bikes
- Tilts away from vehicle for trunk or tailgate access
- Item #THU0175

Great Carrier!
This was so simple to assemble and mount into the hitch. With the 4-bike carry and easy load, mountain biking is about the ride and any thoughts of transporting our bikes is left behind (with the hitch). Love the tilt feature. I had one without this for quite awhile and will never go back. Easy access to the rear compartment of my SUV is one pin-pull away. We often take the dog riding and this is so much nicer for him too!

Thule Vertex Bike Rack - 4 Bike
This is well made and easy to use. It fit my 2006 Honda CRV with enough room to get past the spare tire hanging off the back. I did not need a hitch extension. I had to replace the top 5/8 bolt with a 5/8 pin to allow the arms to fold when not loaded with bikes.

Good basic bike rack
Good sturdy rack, a little challenging to get 4 bikes on especially kids bike with smaller frames but doable. Wish the rack came with a pin instead of bolt at top so it was possible to fold down rack part that holds bikes when not in use.

Sturdy, gets 'er done
Very nice construction, seems sturdy enough for 4 bikes, just be careful going over rough bumps... My main gripe is that it doesn't rotate down when you're not using it - not a huge deal I guess, but it seems like all other racks (including Thule's) rotate down and out of the way when you don't feel like driving with 5' poles behind you...

Decent Rack, Good Price
This is the first and only hitch rack I've had on my 4Runner, and there are definitely plenty of reasons to like it. It was a cinch to setup, it's always been stable, it leans away from the vehicle with ease, and it was relatively cheap for a 4-bike rack. That said, I'm not totally happy with the carrying style. The cradles are fine, and can rotate as needed, but it can be difficult finagling certain frames, especially full suspensions, onto the rack. Also, I know the carrier arm can't extend 12 feet off the back of the vehicle, but it'd be quite the feat to get 4 bikes on this rack. I've only carried three at once on this rack, and it wasn't easy getting them on and off. Overall, not a bad buy for the price, but it works best only carrying two bikes at a time.

Parkway with extender hitch

Great for the Price
Despite problems, it's great for the price and free shipping! My vehicle is a 09 Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited X with the Rubicon Wheel and Tire package and hard top. This rack did not have a long enough receiver tube to clear my 32'' BFG MT spare tire. I will need an extender tube but then my departure angle will suffer and I worry that my rack may hit the ground on uneven terrain. Other issues include not being able to open my gate or glass even when you pull the pin to lower the rack. It's still not enough to let the glass flip up past my tail gate. When the hardtop is off this may not be an issue. Also, the rack does not secure to your hitch with a pin. The hole is small and threaded. Very poor design, you will need to get a longer bolt. Also, the "arms" of the rack do not fold down. This is another modification you will have to do. Additionally, the rubber straps to hold the bike seem to fall off often.

It does the job.
If you have a standard shaped road or mt. bike you will be good to go. I would recommend replacing the top pin so that it folds down. It holds the bikes on well and does not scratch them up.

Thule 956 bike rack
It is a good rack, easy to install. But it's not designed for some odd shape bikes, you gonna need a adapter for them which is another $20 or $30. Though the rack could swing down to load bikes, the top part could not be fold as some advanced model. If you happen to have a small garage, it will block the door. I bought a 3/8" ($5) pin from LOWES, replace one bolt to make the topper part able to fold.

Another great Thule product
Purchased Thule Parkway 2" for a 14-hour (mostly interstate) family vacation road trip. Wanted a quality entry-level rack. Loaded it up with two adult mountain bikes and two kids bikes (oddly shaped) -- all of varying weights, sizes, tube dimensions. All fit just fine and remained remarkably stable even at interstate speeds -- no swaying. Easy to assemble. Solid construction. Very pleased.

I know that's a big claim to make - but I've eaten a lot of them in my day and these will live in infamy. Yes - you are about to find out where the best mozzarella sticks on the planet are located. Be patient my friends...you'll know in a couple of paragraphs. :-)
First - I must say that I headed back home for my 20 year high school reunion last week and it was a fantastic time! I also ate out a lot - usually I hit up Carlos O'Kellys and Maid Rite but this trip - I decided to branch out and hit up some of my other favorites from my days of tearing it up in the big CR!
Also - I think I'll be the #1 food blogger in Cedar Rapids/Iowa City when these couple of weeks have passed - there isn't much competition and I think I have 8 restaurants that I went to!
Now - back to those cheese sticks. Where are they?
Yes - the Tic Toc - it's a small, locally owned "bar & grill" near Mt. Mercy College. My bff Amy went there to school and introduced me to these amazing sticks many moons ago. When we got to town - we decided that was the first place to visit!
And the little nugget in the photo is her son - Tanner. He is a HAM - as you'll see by the photos at the end. He was posing for me - the above is his "Yeah - I'm a cool tough guy" pose.
1. They're huge - it's like a 1/4 pound of mozzarella cheese in each stick - and even this cheesaholic only ate one!
2. Um - they came with ranch - duh.
3. They are BATTERED instead of breaded.
4. It's a light fry on them.
5. They are not greasy at all!
So there you have it - the best mozz sticks in the USA!
Again - the ham - here he's doing his rapper imitation.
Amy got the french dip ($6.25) and enjoyed it...
We were all too busy catching up to really discuss the food - other than obsessing over the sticks.
And now - more "Faces of Tanner"
"Zombies Got Me" Tanner
"I've got muscles like Larry" Tanner
"Superhero Posing" Tanner
I love that kid - even more than the mozzarella sticks.
Why Should You Go? I would almost say make a special trip to Iowa for these sticks. And there is enough other great food along the way - it's a great trip. And go see a Hawkeye game!!!!

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 85 diseños de 25 diseñadores freelance.
TextSomething OR TextSomething.com
TextSomething lets you text funny jokes and messages to your friends in an easy, pre-packaged way. It then lets you post these jokes to various outlets, like Facebook, Twitter, etc.
The key themes around this product are:
- texting
- sending a friend or a group of friends a joke or a funny message
- sharing a text across your social network(s)
- different categories of jokes that can be sent
TextSomething targets everyone! I imagine the service will be more popular with certain demographics, like male teenagers and college students.
- I am looking primarily for a logo design, but one that will inform how I should shift and mold the rest of the product design.
So far, I have been focused on building the service itself, and I'd like to use the logo as inspiration for the rest of my product design.
- Simple but cartoonish/bold is good; by simple, I mean safe and fewer colors rather than more, so that we can mix this logo with any page.
- I would like to be able to take a small part of the logo (perhaps the head of a character or an image within the logo) to create the page.ico
- I would like to do the same for a potential mobile icon, for an iPhone or android app, so please keep this in mind when thinking of the page.ico
- I like Foursquare's badge designs; if I were going to do this myself, I'd keep that in the back of my mind.
- This is a service for a person to send a particular joke or message to another person via text message, so I want to emphasize the friendly, fun and social/connecting nature of the product in this logo.
- Semi-comparable services (for ideas) might be:
someecards (funny cards to send to friends)
prank dial (pranks that you can pull on friends)
college humor (funny videos, etc)

Who's Who in Economics, Fourth Edition
Edited by Mark Blaug and Howard R. Vane
This major reference work, now in its fourth edition, is an extensive and authoritative guide to the most frequently cited academic economists throughout the world. As with the previous editions, each of the entries is written by the entrants themselves and gives pertinent biographical data, principal fields of interest, chief publications and a statement of their principal contributions to economics as they – and not the editors – perceive them. This edition includes only living economists whose articles, published in the period 1990–2000, have been most frequently cited and as such it is the most up-to-date biographical dictionary of the leading players in the economics profession.

Sorry for the delay but Victoriavllie (QMJHL) has waived the rights of Guillame Richard after he informed the team that he will be pursuing hockey in the US. I am a little surprised that he did not even opt to attend training camp. Additionally as you will see in the referenced article UMaine picked up another recruit, F Mikael Huchette, who recently who spurned the QMJHL for US hockey. There is still a long time before either are scheduled for arrival so anything can happen between now and then...
UMaine also received a committment from F Thomas Pichette ('03) however I have no current information regarding his intent to play QMJHL or NCAA. He is a product of the same hockey advisor/academy as Richard and Huchette

After a long reflection matured with family members and his advisor Denis Francoeur, the defender Guillaume Richard decided to continue his career in the United States. Engaged with the University of Maine starting in the 2021-2022 season, Richard never hid his interest in the NCAA and it was finally this one that prevailed over everything else.
This decision prompted the Victoriaville Tigres to waive the rights of the one they had selected in 7th place in the last draft of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL). "It's a reflection that lasted a very long time. It's been ten years since I worked with William and at a young age, he was already going to tournaments in the United States. He became aware of the possibilities there were. Those who have the option of playing in the United States or in the QMJHL are very privileged. [...] On one side or the other, the decision is up to the family. We answer questions and we will look for the necessary information. Both options were interesting for Guillaume, but it's since he was very young that he sees himself playing in the NCAA, "said Francoeur.
Clan counselor Richard assures that it is nothing against the Victorian organization or the Courteau circuit if the young defender preferred to turn their backs on them. "I knew the QMJHL and it's a great circuit. It makes it possible to develop hockey players well and as far as studies are concerned, they have done a lot of work on this side in order to supervise young people. [...] The selection session and the meetings went very well with the Tigers. It is a first class organization. Guillaume felt pampered at having been selected by them, but in the end, it was the path to the United States that was still at the top of his list. "
The Blizzard product of the Séminaire Saint-François will now leave the ranks of the midget AAA level to align with the Mount St Charles Academy next season. He is also expected to evolve for a few games in the USHL with the Tri-City Storm during this period. Asked if there was a chance to see Richard appear one day in the QMJHL, Francoeur concedes it was hard to know. "As I speak, I have no answer to that. Currently, it is clear in his head that this is the path he wants to take (NCAA's). There are different stages to go through, but for starters, he will go to Mount St Charles and play some games in the USHL. If he is still comfortable in this environment, I believe he will continue on this avenue. [..] He could come back, but he could not do the opposite. Both options are open, but for the moment, Guillaume is very happy with his decision. "
A lower caliber?
The best defender of Quebec in the 2019 vintage, Richard's talent is obvious. Having achieved 27 points in 38 games with the Blizzard this year and the most productive defenseman at Team Quebec at the Canada Games, the Quebecer has always excelled in facing the elite of his age group. We improve by playing against the best according to the saying.
In the case of Richard, this could change as the level of play of the circuit in which evolves the Mount St Charles Academy is not recognized as being the highest. According to some stakeholders consulted, the USHS-RI offers a lower caliber than the midget AAA. For a defender who would be of caliber to play in the QMJHL, it could be a little too easy. "It's a program that is development-oriented. In Guillaume's age, these are very important years in the development of a hockey player that are not necessarily related to the level of play. It is certain that if we seek the best caliber, it could be the USHL or the QMJHL. For next year, it's a caliber similar to the midget AAA. It's important for talented players to dominate at their level before moving on to the next stage, "insisted Francoeur.
In the case of the University of Maine, although its hockey program does not have the reputation of Boston College, the University of North Dakota or the University of Michigan, it manages to produce good players. Just think of Paul Kariya, Garth Snow, Brett Clark and Gustav Nyquist. Coaches John Tortorella and Jim Montgomery also studied there. "For a hockey player, what is important is to have the opportunity to showcase yourself. If the young person performs, no matter the organization, the recruiters will come to see him play. That's what the University of Maine will offer William. This university plays in a very good conference in the company of the Boston University, Boston College, Northeasthern University University and company. He will have the chance to be seen.
Harry Roy is back on the market.
Red is hoping they grow and get slower
I swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell.
Maine Hockey Love it or Leave it
Fire red!
Not to look too far ahead but things could be really bad for 20-21 when you factor in they lose Fossier, Shea, smith, and likely Doherty and Tralmaks as well. Those are five of your top seven or eight forwards from this coming season. Dawe and Holesinsky(complete bust) are also wildcards. I personally dont see things working out with Dawe but hope to be proven wrong.
