Why do I write with a fountain pen?
So why a fountain pen?
I'm sure that there are many reasons why an individual chooses to write with a fountain pen, but I can only answer for myself.
A good fountain pen, (note that "good" does not necessarily mean $$$) writes extremely smooth with a very light pressure on the paper. They allow me to write for extended periods of time with little hand/wrist fatigue.
So why do I have 9 of them?
Because once you buy one, you continue to look for other, smoother pens. You want to have them in varying nib widths, filled with different colors of ink, and you want to have more than one on hand in case one of them runs out of ink.
Are they expensive?
You can find disposable fountain pens like the Pilot Varsity, for about $3. A great refillable starter pen is the Lamy Safari, which costs around $25. (I have 4 of them) Mid range pens can run from $60-$100, like my favorite Pelikan M200, ($60) or my ultra-smooth Sailor Sapporo. ($105) Then there are pens that are more expensive - considered to be status symbols, like the brands Montblanc and Omas pens, ($200-$400) and also the limited edition collector's type pens that can run $1000-$5000 and up.
There are also many people that prefer to use vintage pens - ones produced as far back as the 1920's. Some of these pens are the best ever made, and they can be purchased fully restored, or in "as-is" condition for a few dollars at a local flea-market/swap meet.
The pen restoration business is a brisk one- with people like David Isaacson and Ron Zorn that will bring a sick or wounded vintage pen back to it's new found glory.
I myself have dipped into the waters of vintage pens, (I own an Esterbrook J and I once briefly owned one of the highly regarded Parker 51's) but I've come to the conclusion that I prefer modern pens for two reasons. The first is that I'm always worried about damaging a vintage pen that's not easily replaceable, and secondly, because I prefer to start new with a pen - instilling my own energy into it.
I spoke about having multiple pens in varying nib sizes, and there are also people like Mr. Richard Binder and the good folks at Pendemonium that can custom grind pen nibs into shapes that allow for more artistic and creative writing. I have two such pens - a Binder ground .07 Cursive Italic nib in a Pelikan M200 and a .05 Cursive Italic in a Lamy Safari that the nibmeister at Pendemonium ground for me. Nib grinding prices can vary - depending on who is doing the work, and what you are having done. It cost me $15 to have the CI ground by Pendemonium.
And what about inks?
Fountain pen inks come in every imaginable color, and on average cost about $8-$10) a bottle. A bottle will last you a long, long time. My favorite inks include Noodler's, Diamine and Private Reserve.
Of note - many types of fountain pen inks are not waterproof because they are water based inks.. (Never use India Ink in a fountain pen - it will destroy the pen.) If archiving your writing is important to you, check out the "Bulletproof" inks made by Noodler's.
So where can I buy a fountain pen?
While you might not find them at your local art supply store, fountain pens can easily be found at many online retailers. My personal favorites include Pendemonium, Swisher Pens and Pear Tree Pens. Pear Tree Pens has a fantastic ink sampling system...
Can I use a fountain pen on any kind of paper?
Great question. While it's a matter of personal preference, I have found the better the quality of the paper, the better the writing experience. It's a delicate balance to find a paper/pen/ink combination that meets (at least my) satisfaction. Some of the thinner, cheaper, (like the Moleskine journals that I use) can cause various inks to bleed through the paper or feather - leaving little spider web lines off of the inked lines. Some of the better quality papers and journals include Rhodia, Apica, Clairefontaine and Quo Vadis. That's not to say that a tablet from the office supply store won't work for you - it's just a matter of trying it out.
I prefer to use the hard backed Moleskine journals because they lie flat (easier to write in) and that's a difficult feature to find unless you chose to use a spiral bound book. (Which I don't like.)
So put it all together and well, using a fountain pen can get a little expensive if you are like me and are constantly trying to improve your writing experience.
What am I currently using?
This article was originally hand written using a medium nibbed Sailor Sapporo, Noodler's Bulletproof Black ink, in a large hard backed, ruled Moleskine journal. (Noodler's BB seems to be one of the least problematic inks on this Moleskine paper.)
I also commonly use a fine nibbed Pelikan M200 filled with Private Reserve's Burgundy Mist ink. An Extra Fine Lamy Safari filled with the same Burgundy Mist ink, and the Lamy Safari with the custom ground .05 Cursive Italic nib filled with Private Reserve's Arabian Rose ink.
Where can I learn more about fountain pens, inks and paper?
The Fountain Pen Network is an online community of fountain pen enthusiasts. From the novice to the long time user/collector, you will find all kinds of information in the way of conversations, reviews, photos, etc.
I hope you have found this article informative, and if you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer them or to point you in the right direction to find the information you are looking for.

Moleskines are great to write on, but it takes time to fine pens and ink combinations that work well with them. Noodlers is great because it was designed to be non-feathering (and completely safe for fountain pens).
Parker Quink, surprisingly works well with on them as well.
Nice piece.

It should take you all of 2 sec. to remove someone else's energy from a vintage fountain pen.
Nice article Biffy B!
Have you read that Hazrat Inayat Khan book in your library? If not, you might want to peek into it. If you end up liking Hazrat, his son, Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan's writting is guaranteed to blow you away.

Craig - I have two books by Khan. "The Music of Life" was recommended by a friend. I started it a long time ago, but it's been a tough read for me. My mind is always a thousand places at once- which sometimes makes it hard for me to totally relax and digest certain things as I read them.

I bought a couple Platinum Preppy fountain pens from this Japanese stationary store in the local mall. They write pretty well, but I think I may upgrade to something else soon. I have read a few review stating they write very similarly to Lamy Safaris. I'm currently using the official ink refills but I bought a converter and I am going to buy a bottle of Noodler's soon. I'm pretty new to fountain pens (I have these and a couple of Pilot Varsity pens and I think they write much smoother than the Preppys but I rarely use them because they feather a lot and don't come in blue-black, but that's the ink and I'm going to just empty one out and refill it with Noodler's once I get it)

Fountain pens certainly do have a character in writing that is hard to get with other writing sticks. I've bought a number of them over the years or so, but hadn't used one in 20+ years. A few weeks ago I pulled some out of the drawer and started writing with them again. I like the variable density I get. In truth, a good rollerball pen is just as easy to write with, but it doesn't have as much character. I like my Montblanc and Parker OK, but they're nothing to shout about. I'd kill to have the Shaeffer that I bought in the 60's and did all the calculations for my thesis -- I loved that pen, but lost it. The Shaeffer Targa looks similar and I had one or two of those too, but they didn't write anywhere near as well as my original. As a kid, I remember buying the Shaeffer cheapie pens for a buck or less. I still have an unopened package in my desk! I'll bet it's a collector's item now and worth $2-$3!

Great article. I must also admit to a passion for fountain pens, currently owning seven. I find my Parker best for day to day use, using it with my moleskin notebook. There is absolutely nothing that writes as well as a fountain pen.

Hi, this is a great review. I am a newbie with a fountain pen world. I bought a Lamy safari a month age. It introduced me a whole different writing world. As the reviewer mentioned that the medium nib was very smooth but too wide, I had to replace the EF nib for my lecture note.
Unfortunately my safari was broken after I used less than a month. The connecting area (the middle of the pen) was separated. The pen was always kept in my pencil case like many other pens.
The pen looked like stud but I am a kind of disappoint. I sent the pen to Lamy service center and am waiting now.

Four longtime friends from Sedalia decided this year to start something they've never seen in their town before, a farmer's market. But more than just a market — they're selling education, too.
"The idea is to expose people to learning how to grow their own food, different methods of growing food," said Johanna Santucci, 69, treasurer of the new Sedalia Community Market.
The market, which kicked off in June, is held at the Sedalia post office parking lot from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sundays so that it wouldn't compete with Saturday's Castle Rock farmers market. It has the usual fresh garden produce, as well as such things as "shares of goats," offered by the market's vice president, Deanna Meye. She has a herd of about 20 goats and sells shares for $50 a month, which gives buyers a regular supply of fresh goat milk.
But in addition, the market offers workshops on such things as an old German gardening technique that's great for regions with water issues. To retain water longer, it involves digging a hole, filling with wood, then hay, wetting it down and putting dirt on top of that and then planting.
Meyer plans to pass out information on an upcoming workshop that will be held on her family's 400-acre property. Participants will hike through the property and learn about various native plants' medicinal and nutritional properties.
Meyer said that some of the weeds people routinely pull out of their vegetable gardens, such as lamb's quarter, shepherd's purse and amaranth, are tastier and more nutritious than the lettuce they leave behind. And if someone is sick and needs a dose of Vitamin C, pinch off some needles, particularly new-growth needles, from a Douglas fir or any other pine tree.
"It's an incredibly dense (dose) of Vitamin C," Meyer said. "And the flavor is very citrusy," she said.
In addition to Santucci and Meyer, the other two women starting the market are Carrie Thompson, president, and Regina Precosto, secretary.
"It's all about community," said Precosto, 53, who has lived in Sedalia for 20 years. "I wanted to help start this market because I believe in bartering, trading and, where necessary, buying as much as possible within my community. I like knowing who and where my food and other products come from."
Santucci said they also wanted to give an outlet to all those talented people in the area who make quilts, pottery and other things, but didn't have any outlet to sell them.

'At Taliesin West, his winter home in Arizona, the founder of organic architecture decried men who "scrambled through life … cutting themselves off from the divinity within".' (Karsh)
Frank Lloyd Wright's career spanned over 70 years in which he was a key figure in the development of modern twentieth-century architecture. His approach required simplicity and repose as his first principle and this dictated the removal of unnecessary items, such as interior walls, in his designs, creating the open-space look. His second principle called for as many styles of houses as there are styles of people. At the time Karsh made this portrait of him, Wright was involved in the task of erecting the PriceCompanyTower in Oklahoma, which was to be taller than the JohnsonResearchLaboratoryTower.

This is for -3p^2+84p-288, but I am also stuck on the other problem
November 25, 2007
I didn't think you were going to answer the other question. Now I have -3(p^2-28p+96) I am now stuck I eventually need this to be set to equal zero

November 25, 2007
No, But should I charge $24 to get the largest weekly profit?
November 25, 2007
So is it -3(p-24)(p+4) I have to find which will give me my largest profit so I need to set them equal to zero. That would then be $24, right? How do I determine max possible weekly profit?
November 25, 2007
Wait, the other one is wrong, it is -3(p-24)(p-4). So the max possible weekly profit is $24 dollars??? Now how do I determine the max possible weekly profit and be certain the profit is maximized?
November 25, 2007
I got -3(p^2-28p+96) Now How do I factor this further I need to eventually set it equal to zero
November 25, 2007
That is wrong too Now I got -3p^2+84p-288 Is this right, I cannot figure out how to factor it though
November 25, 2007
I made a mistake it should be -296 but I do not think this is right because I know I am supposed to factor this and I cannot get it to factor.
November 25, 2007
I got -3p^2+84p+298 Is this right?

We did what Matt said but we do not know what to do next, our teacher told us to set the derivative equal to zero and then factor to get more than one answer and say which one maximizes the profit but we cannot solve P'=0
November 25, 2007
I am confused on how you did the cost part. I think I got P' but I don't see this in your work. I know I have to set P' equal to zero but I don't know if I have to factor or something first
November 25, 2007
For the first part I took R' and set this equal to zero to get 22, is this right too.

Robotics Association Benelux - IFR Industry Association Member
Audit procedure of RAB Robotics Safety Mark almost finished!
Since the formation of the Robotics Association Benelux (RAB) in September 2007, a lot of effort has been put in brand awareness, expansion of members and sponsors, the organisation of the highly successful Robot Safety Seminar 2008 and the development of the RAB Robotics Safety Mark. The latter is considered as one of the main pillars for members of the RAB: with the RAB Robotics Safety Mark, the RAB members can actually show to the market that their business will satisfy the strict requirements regarding safety.
In the 4th quarter of 2008 the Technical Commission of RAB has - together with an independent safety advisor - developed an audit procedure. In this procedure the European Regulations will be checked by an independent safety advisor (not a RAB member).
To guarantee the independence of the audit procedure, the right to use the RAB Robotics Safety Mark will be granted by a separate foundation: foundation RAB Robotics Safety Mark. In this perspective, a non-RAB member will also have the ability to apply for an audit procedure and gain the RAB Robotics Safety Mark.
One thing is for sure: to become and maintain a member of RAB, one has to gain the RAB Robotics Safety Mark, no exceptions!
The RAB board has already formal approved the audit procedure. In the 2nd quarter the first audits will be executed. In the 3rd quarter (15th October) the first RAB Robotics Safety Marks will be festal awarded at the Robot Safety Seminar 2009 event!

On the same day the Obama administration announced a proposal to curb greenhouse gas emissions from power plants by 30 percent come 2030, a new Washington Post-ABC News survey finds a huge majority of Americans support the crux of the plan — even if it will cost them personally.
Fully 63 percent of Americans say they'd support such a plan even if it raised their energy bills by $20 per month. Strikingly, 51 percent of Republicans endorse that idea, too. (Though the $20 figure is a pure hypothetical, the fact that Americans are so gung-ho about footing a bill for a vast regulatory shift is nonetheless notable.)
Perhaps the broad bipartisan support explains why some Democrats are looking to make climate change a major issue in the midterm elections. Jon Terbush
While many Americans tune in to Sunday night's Oscars ceremony, the Trump White House will host its first major social event: the 2017 Governors' Dinner. The black tie affair includes a receiving line, reception, and formal dinner with the First and Second Couples. It is timed to correspond with the National Governors Association's winter meeting in Washington each year.
"The Governors' Dinner is one of the most important social events held at the White House each year," said Laura Dowling, who was the chief White House floral designer for six of President Obama's eight years in office. "In terms of scope, style and planning requirements, it is just one step below a state dinner in organizational complexity."
The dinner is First Lady Melania Trump's first in her new role as White House hostess. "The first lady has put a lot of time into this event, welcoming our nation's governors to the capital," said White House Press Secretary of the evening's festivities. Bonnie Kristian
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Sunday offered a dismissive assessment of President Trump's first month in office in conversation with ABC's George Stephanopoulos. "What has the Trump administration done?" she asked. "From their inaugural address, where they talked about decay and carnage, they've done nothing except put Wall Street first, make America sick again, instill fear in our immigration population in our country, and make sure Russia maintains its grip on our foreign policy."
"I call him the deflector-in-chief," Pelosi added. "He has no jobs bill, so he has got to talk about the press. He has no jobs bill, so he has to talk about kids, transgender kids in school. He has no jobs bill, so he has to talk about immigrants and have a ban on Muslims coming to country." Watch an excerpt of her comments below. Bonnie Kristian

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R), Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), and former Republican Senator Rick Santorum all said in interviews Sunday that calls for a special prosecutor to investigate alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election are premature. The possibility of such an appointment was raised Friday by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who argued it is inappropriate for the investigation to be performed by someone, like new Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who is a political appointee.
"The Justice Department over the course of time has shown itself, with the professionals that are there, to have the ability to investigate these type of things," Christie said in a conversation with CNN's Jake Tapper. "When a special prosecutor gets involved, the thing gets completely out of control."
"I think that's way, way getting ahead of ourselves here," Cotton said while talking with Chuck Todd on NBC. "There's no allegations of any crime occurring, there's not even an indication that there's criminal investigations underway by the FBI as opposed to counterintelligence investigations, which the FBI conducts all the time."
"The rush to a special prosecutor is always a dangerous thing," Santorum said in a different segment of Tapper's show, contending that appointing a special prosecutor would usurp congressional power. Watch comments from all three below. Bonnie Kristian

Oscar-nominated actress Meryl Streep has accused Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld of defamation for comments, published Thursday in Women's Wear Daily, in which he said she declined to wear his dress to Sunday's the Academy Awards ceremony because another designer offered to pay her for the exposure.
"Don't continue the dress. We found somebody who will pay us," Lagerfeld said he was told after beginning work on Streep's gown. He added, "A genius actress, but cheapness also, no?"
Streep denied Lagerfeld's account Thursday, and Chanel issued a statement confirming her claim that "there was no mention of the reason" she chose a different designer. But late Saturday evening, Streep issued a vehement second statement. "Karl Lagerfeld, a prominent designer, defamed me, my stylist, and the illustrious designer whose dress I chose to wear, in an important industry publication," she said. "That publication printed this defamation, unchecked. Subsequently, the story was picked up globally, and continues, globally, to overwhelm my appearance at the Oscars, on the occasion of my record breaking 20th nomination, and to eclipse this honor in the eyes of the media, my colleagues and the audience."
Streep ended her statement with a demand for an explicit apology from Lagerfeld: "He lied, they printed the lie, and I am still waiting." Bonnie Kristian

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) refused during an interview on CNN's State of the Union to say he would share his presidential campaign email list with the Democratic National Committee. His evasion came less than 24 hours after his preferred candidate for DNC chair, Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), lost to the establishment-supported former Labor Secretary Tom Perez.
"Where we are right now is that we are going to support and have supported and will continue to support those candidates who have the guts to stand up for working families and take on the big money interests," Sanders said in response to a question about the list from host Jake Tapper. "What we are going to do is support those candidates who have the guts to stand up to the 1 percent and fight for the 99 percent."
As Tim Murphy explained at Mother Jones earlier this month, Sanders' campaign "rewrote the rules of email fundraising during his campaign by relentlessly courting small-dollar contributors," many of them first-time political donors. The DNC is "desperate" for the list, Murphy said, though the Sanders camp believes party leadership is missing the point: "The list wasn't the campaign's secret weapon; Sanders was."

The impulse of some conservative House Republicans "to say just get rid of the whole thing" in the ObamaCare reform process is "not acceptable," Ohio Governor John Kasich argued during an appearance on CBS' Face the Nation Sunday. "Republicans have to reach out to some of the Democrats" in Congress if they are to craft a new health care program "that still provides coverage to people," the former Republican presidential candidate told host John Dickerson.
"You have 20 million people, or 700,000 people in my state" whose health coverage is now provided through the Affordable Care Act, Kasich said. "Where do the mentally ill go? Where do the drug addicted go?" Kasich conceded reforms are needed to make the system functional and affordable, but, he added, "we're just not going to pull the rug out from under people." Watch his comments in context below, and see this analysis from The Week's Ryan Cooper on how Kasich's fears could come true. Bonnie Kristian

BREWER – A tractor-trailer was ripped in half in a collision with a train in the Brewer community in south Lee County on Thursday morning, but the driver escaped serious injury.
The truck was eastbound on Brewer Road – also known as County Road 520 – and the BNSF-operated train was heading northwest toward Tupelo when the collision occurred about 8 a.m., said Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson.
The train appears to have struck the truck just behind the rear axle of the cab, Johnson said. The cab separated from the trailer. The two pieces ended up in ditches on opposite sides of the tracks. The cab of the truck, separated from its wheels. The trailer crumbled with the floor nearly separating from the rest of the box.
Raymond Buchanon, 33, of Memphis was driving the empty rig and was able to crawl out of the cab on his own, Johnson said. He was taken to North Mississippi Medical Center with apparently minor injuries. He was treated and released.
"He's a lucky man," Johnson said.
The train crew was unharmed, and the train was not derailed in the incident.
There was no hazardous cargo on the train or in the tractor trailer. Lee County Emergency Management officials notified both the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency and the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality of the wreck. Plantersville firefighters were on the scene to help monitor diesel fuel leaking from the truck.
The accident remains under investigation by the Lee County sheriff's department and BNSF officials. Investigators have confirmed the signal lights at the crossing were functioning at the time of the accident, Johnson said.
The accident stopped traffic on Brewer Road between Highway 6 and County Road 855 for a couple of hours. The empty coal train was delayed about 50 minutes, said Joe Faust, the BNSF public affairs director for the region.
Drivers at Crosstown in Tupelo might have noticed fewer trains on Thursday morning, but the impact on train traffic was minimal, Faust said.
According to Federal Railroad Administration statistics, Mississippi recorded 41 highway-rail incidents and four deaths in the first 10 months of 2011, the most current statistics available.

For Immediate Release Saturday, January 20, 2001
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) today announced the awarding of $112.3 million to fund the hiring of 1433 law enforcement officers in 369 cities and towns across the country.
"These investments represent our continuing resolve to provide big cities and small towns throughout the country with the support they need to establish and sustain safe communities", said Ralph Justus, Acting Director of the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services.
To date, the COPS program has funded more than 110,000 officers through approximately 31,000 grants. These grants have been awarded to more than 12,000 law enforcement agencies in support of making communities safer by increasing the number of officers available for patrol in local jurisdictions.
Funds awarded to law enforcement agencies by the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services provide up to 75% of the total salary and benefits of each new officer for three years, and up to a maximum of $75,000 per officer. State or local funds pay the remainder. All jurisdictions that receive funding must submit and adhere to a plan to retain COPS-funded officer positions for at least one complete budget cycle after federal funding has ended.
In addition to funding law enforcement positions, the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services has been the catalyst for innovations in community policing, and the broad implementation of this effective law enforcement strategy. Currently, departments that employ community policing serve 87% of American communities.

France 1848 – French Polynesia 1903
Les Alyscamps
oil on canvas
canvas 91.5 (h) x 72.5 (w) cm
Musée d'Orsay, Paris , Gift of Countess Vitali in memory of her brother Viscount Guy de Cholet 1923

Van Gogh, who migrated south from Paris in 1888, envisaged a community of artists at Arles, and he desperately wanted Gauguin to be involved. Finally persuaded by Vincent (and by Theo's financial support) Gauguin left Pont-Aven in Brittany, arriving in Arles in October 1888. Les Alyscamps is one of the first paintings he produced there. Van Gogh took Gauguin to his favourite sites: the two artists painted together on the plains of the Crau, and at the ancient cemetery, Les Alyscamps.1
Gauguin later claimed to have been unimpressed by the magnificent Roman remains at Arles and the flat treeless landscape of the Camargue area. Les Alyscamps was consecrated for the burial of Christians in the third century by Arles' first bishop; very little of the Roman necropolis remained in the nineteenth century other than a few empty sarcophagi and an avenue lined with poplars. The ancient site was partially compromised by the proximity of the railway workshops just across the Craponne Canal, but Gauguin only hints at this, including a plume of smoke in the sky at left. Painting from outside the tree-lined avenue, Gauguin concentrates on the canal, the undulating ground and range of vegetation, making the domed tower of the Romanesque church and the three figures the focal point of his work. He was more impressed by the local people themselves—the Arlesiennes were famed for their spirit, dignity and bearing, and reminded Gauguin, with their black pleated shawls and elegant coiffure, of the women of ancient Greece.2 Les Alyscamps was also a popular place for promenading, and a meeting place for lovers, and Gauguin makes ironic reference to this with this work's alternate title, The three graces at the temple of Venus. It was under this title that he sent the work to Theo van Gogh in December 1888.
Gauguin expends only the necessary paint on his canvas. He composes the work according to traditional one-point perspective but with few concessions to pictorial realism. The recession of the canal at left, and the line of trees at right, is undermined by the central figures on what appears to be higher ground. The lower half of the canvas—a patch-work of paths, stones and scraggly bushes, grassy mounds with arbitrary patches of pale orange and the flame-red bush—culminates in the pyramid of trees crowned by the octagonal bell-tower of Saint-Honorat. The canvas is divided: the 'cool' left side, with sky and clouds reflected in the canal below, contrasts with the extravagant, saturated hues of the yellows and orange at right. The hatched brushstrokes of the green foliage which punctuates the autumnal trees is reminiscent of Cézanne. The massing of colour and decorative quality would later be exploited to extraordinary effect by the artist.

Rebus McTaggart: CrimeWarrior
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2007
The List's 2006 Best Breakthrough Act, Richard Thomson brings you more McTaggart. Ecclefechan's sole defender of the law ineptly tackles a grisly new case.
Original Review:
He's a competent actor, but Richard Thomson really needs to work on his script.
In this tediously predictable character comedy, featuring Ecclefechan's lecherous and pompous 'top cop', Thomson pulls out some of the most tired material going, such as donning drag as a female witness in a pointless and uninspired Basic Instinct-style interview scene.
Were that not pantomime enough, he then gets his bottom out.
We see Rebus conducting an amateur autopsy like he's making love to the cadaver – it's the 'gross-out' style the Farrelly brothers milked dry years ago. These farcical scenes are interspersed with lame attempts at satire, giving the show a schizophrenic lack of conviction.
In other areas, he comes up with some reasonable jokes and the script just needs pruning. A stakeout scene in which Thomson sits on stage stonily eating his way through a range of foods as he waits for some action would be great were it about four minutes shorter. As it is, the audience is made to get the joke and continue getting it until it loses all its original appeal.
Likewise, a brilliant, inventive police chase, in which increasingly fantastical weapons and vehicles are created using only sound effects and mime, could be improved only by being slightly more succinct.
Thomson has confidence, charm and acting ability and there was no shortage of applause when the show ended. But unless he improves his writing, he will never be more than mediocre.

Just saw the show and all I can say is, what a complete waste of a Saturday night. No originality whatsoever and whilst it may be funny to some, the sight of a man wearing a tight Lycra dress just isn't comedy to me. I think this guy should try acing rather than comedy as it's clearly the writing of good comedy that he struggles with. Trust me, save your hard earned cash, or go to the movies instead!

Plan for Promoting Efficient Responsible Geothermal Energy Development
In the next step toward efficient development of geothermal energy resources on Federal lands, the Bureau of Land Management and the USDA Forest Service have initiated a public comment period on a Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) for leasing geothermal resources in the Western States and Alaska.
Publication of a Notice of Availability for the Draft PEIS in today's Federal Register begins a 90-day public comment period on the alternatives and impact analysis presented in the draft document. The preferred Alternative considers approximately 117 million acres of public lands and 75 million acres of National Forest lands for potential geothermal leasing. The BLM administers geothermal leasing on the public lands it manages and on lands in the National Forest System, where the Forest Service is the surface management agency.
"Federal lands in the West and Alaska contain the largest potential geothermal resources in this country," said BLM Director Jim Caswell. "With the strong interest and support of state and local governments and clear direction from Congress, we are taking the next step in an aggressive program to make these resources available for responsible development to help meet the Nation's energy needs."
For lease applications pending as of January 1, 2005, the Record of Decision (ROD) on the Final PEIS will identify whether geothermal leasing is appropriate on lands identified in the applications and complete processing of these applications, as required by the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The ROD will also amend BLM resource management plans to allocate lands with geothermal potential as being closed or open to leasing with minor or major constraints, and will provide information to the Forest Service to facilitate the agency's consent decisions for geothermal leasing on National Forest System lands. Additionally, to protect special resource values, the BLM and Forest Service are proposing a comprehensive list of stipulations, conditions of approval (COAs), and best management practices (BMPs) to be incorporated into future leases.
The preferred Alternative in the Draft PEIS considers all public lands and National Forest System lands with potential for geothermal development available for leasing except those that are withdrawn or administratively closed to geothermal leasing. The Draft PEIS also evaluates another alternative based on public input gained during scoping that would limit geothermal leasing for electrical generation to areas near transmission lines.
Written comments on the Draft PEIS may be submitted by any of three methods:
In addition, comments may be submitted at public meetings scheduled for 13 cities in July. Dates and locations for the meetings are as follows:
The hours for all meetings are 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., local time.
Geothermal energy production uses heat located naturally beneath the surface of the earth to generate electricity with little or no need to burn fuel. Geothermal energy currently accounts for 8.5 percent of renewable energy generation in the U.S. Though it generates a small portion of the Nation's electricity, the U.S. continues to be the world leader in generating electricity using geothermal energy. In 2005, geothermal energy generated over 14,800 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity, which is enough power to supply the annual needs of 1.3 million homes.
Almost half of the nation's geothermal energy production and about 90 percent of U.S. geothermal resources occur on Federal lands. Currently, 29 geothermal power plants are operating under BLM authorization on Federal lands in California, Nevada and Utah. They have a total capacity of 1250 MW and supply the needs of 1.2 million homes.

Levelling the field Trenching and Screening Machine planting Grapes Planting stakes Wire
This work is very important to smooth the field. The longitudinal slope and the croosfall are very dangerus: the first one beause rain can erode the soil while the second one is very dangerous for the tractor that can turn over.
These two works are very important for the stucture of the soil. The bulldozer moves the earth up and down for levelling it, but this work makes the soil too hard. Then the ripper crashes the soil 1,5 metres deep (this work is calledtrencing the soil) and the escavator by its rab makes the soil soft taking away the stones (this work is called screening). Now the soil is ready for planting the vines.
Finally the vineyard
After the grapes installation (one year) it is necessary to plant the stakes in the rows of grapes.
The wires are attached at the stakes and the rows (filare) are complete. Now the grapes have everything to grow and produce.

Virgin Blue Takinâ Care Of Business With New Sydney Blue Room Lounge And Valet Parking06/08/2003
Airline Adds More Online And Service Innovations Across The Network
Virgin Blue continued its onslaught into the corporate market today with the opening of the new Sydney airport 'Blue Room', extending its rollout of the next generation of airport lounges across the nation.
Australia's hottest new music sensation, Duncan James, helped Virgin Blue's Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey, kick off the celebrations today with a special performance of his hit debut single "Speed of Life".
The new lounge has been 'Virginised' to offer travellers a modern, high-tech and business friendly facility that is both relaxing and fun.
By self-funding the Blue Room, Virgin Blue continues to address the needs of the discerning business traveller, without compromising its position as Australia's low cost and low fare leader.
The Sydney Blue Room follows Brisbane as the second facility that will further strengthen Virgin Blue's inroads into all sectors of the business market including the airline's recent signings with many of Australia's top fifty Corporate Accounts.
Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey, said, "In the same way that Virgin Blue has helped revolutionise air travel in Australia, we plan to transform the expensive and dated product currently in the market, by offering a refreshing and affordable alternative to the traditional airport lounge."
He continued, "During 2003 there has been a coming of age for Virgin Blue as we are now making a solid impact on every segment of the market due to our high frequency, friendly service and on time departures. The only niche that we are struggling in seems to be a few Commonwealth agencies who appear to be less concerned about getting good value for the taxpayer than our growing list of major corporate clients."
Virgin's Blue Room is its latest innovation in terms of choice for both corporate and leisure travellers and part of the ongoing strategy to enhance the Virgin Blue experience for airline Guests without increasing fares.
Anyone can access the Blue Room facilities by paying an introductory pay-as-you-go $5 entry fee or by snapping up a special 'early bird' annual Blue Room Passport* for $175 before 30 September. The $195 standard annual membership fee will apply thereafter.
Guests can also choose to buy exclusive Blue Room Voucher* Booklets containing 50 prepaid $5 coupons that can be redeemed for entry and/or massage and beauty services, food or refreshments in any Blue Room.
The vouchers can be used by both members and non-members of the Blue Room and are designed to give companies the freedom to supply cash equivalent coupons to travelling staff so they can take advantage of the convenience of the lounge when they please, without having to worry about blowing the budget nor filing numerous detailed expense claims to their boss.
Other complimentary services in the Blue Room include:
State of the art surround sound Sony Wega Theatrette with movies on the big screen (popcorn optional).
Workstations where travellers can 'plug in' and go about their business.
Comfy armchairs to relax in while watching the large plasma or digital televisions.
A 'play-zone' incorporating Sony PlayStation® consoles for big kids looking to brush up on their game skills.
A quality selection of newspapers and magazines.
Express Check-in for those with hand luggage only.
Courtesy fax and photocopier.
For a reasonable fee the Blue Room also offers:
Convenient valet parking service.**
A 'Chill Out Zone' where Guests can relax with day spa treatments including beauty and massage therapy.
A café serving delicious meals and gourmet coffees.
A private bar offering bubbles, beer, bourbon and other alcoholic beverages at pub prices.
Sydney is the first Virgin Blue port to offer a Valet Parking Service for busy flyers who want the extra time and the personalised service and convenience.
This service is provided in conjunction with Sydney Airport and offers short or long term parking while operating on a 'user pays' basis to ensure it has no impact on the airline's operating costs.
Concluding his comments on the both the Blue Room and Valet Parking, Brett Godfrey noted, "This is clearly the best and most efficient way forward for us to allow the airline to continue passing the savings onto the travelling public, while sticking with the same low fare strategy we've maintained since day one."
In addition to providing further service enhancements, Virgin Blue is also leading the market with new time saving initiatives, including a number of technological innovations. The newest Virgin Blue innovations and enhancements include:
Changes on the Net
In a first for on-line airline booking engines, Virgin Blue has recently introduced a new update to its award winning website called "CHANGEonline". Launched on 4th July, this feature allows Guests to change their bookings online rather than calling the Guest Contact Centre.
On top of providing this convenient and easy to use system, Virgin Blue is also passing on the saving to travellers by offering a reduction on the change of booking fee from $30 to $25 for changes made over the net on our discount 'Fair Fares' and 'Mid-Week Mini Fares'. Virgin Blue 'Fully Flexible Fares' for the business traveller continue to allow free changes even thirty minutes before departure as the airline ensures its products meets the needs of those with fluid schedules.
While operating for only a month, Virgin Blue's "CHANGEonline" option has proven so popular with Guests that more than one-third of all booking changes are now made online allowing further savings and convenience that the airline is passing back to its Guests.
'Blue Zone' To Go Network Wide
Following the success of Virgin Blue's trial of 'Blue Zone' seating options on long haul sectors, Guests can now pre-reserve an extra roomy exit row or front row seat on every flight network wide for an introductory price of just $30 extra per flight for any 'Blue Zone' seat purchased by September 30.
The Blue Zone seating offers Guests the equivalent of a 40 inch (100 cm) seat pitch and is available on every flight from today.
Brett Godfrey said, "Corporate travellers have told us they like the space of business class but clearly cannot justify the cost. As a result, Virgin Blue now allows Guests to pre-book 'Blue Zone' seating for a fraction of the cost of our competitor's business class fare.
Leaving the biggest and best till last, the airline hinted that Guests should stay tuned for Virgin Blue's soon to be launched Melbourne Blue Room which will be accompanied by other network wide service and online enhancements to ensure Virgin Blue maintains its role as the Australian airline industry technology leader.
* Blue Room Passports and Voucher Booklets can be purchased at the Blue Room Welcome Desk in Sydney or Brisbane or by calling Virgin Blue's award winning Guest Contact Centre on 13 67 89.
** Valet Parking is located at the east end of the T2 Domestic Terminal and accessible via the departures road way. Follow the blue road signs to T2 Valet Parking and turn left from the domestic departures roadway. Bookings are not required (although they are accepted) and rates start from $49 for one day parking. For further information please call the Valet Parking team on (02)9352-7419.

Psalm 67.35,26
God is wonderful among his saints.
Verse: Bless God in the congregations.
BRETHREN, before faith came, we were confined under the law, kept under restraint until faith should be revealed. So that the law was our custodian until Christ came, that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a custodian; for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise. I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no better than a slave, though he is the owner of all the estate; but he is under guardians and trustees until the date set by the father. So with us; when we were children, we were slaves to the elemental spirits of the universe. But when the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.

— Maudite —
Rich and lightly sweet, La Maudite is a great ale well worth savoring. Fire and brimstone red, this sumptuous brew is surprisingly well-balanced and smoothly caramelized.
Its sweet, spicy flavor goes perfectly with strong-tasting soft washed-rind cheeses like Le Fêtard or Gruyère. It is one the rare beers that can be served with tomatoes and spicy dishes. Try it with grilled meats or a dessert of crème brûlée or tiramisu.

The last week of October was Red Ribbon Week at Cottonwood Elementary School in Orangeville. Red Ribbon Week is a week to promote drug awareness among the students. It is going on throughout the school district as part of a campaign for students to avoid drugs and other harmful substances that could cause intoxication, sickness, mental or physical impairment, and even death. Red Ribbon Week is set aside the last week of October for drug awareness. Red ribbon week was set aside at Cottonwood Elementary School to make children aware of the harmful substances and to be free of drugs.
The Cottonwood Elementary School, Parent Teachers Association President Carmen Humphrey, works in conjunction with the school teachers and staff to help the school with their Red Ribbon Week. Every day there is an event to make the children aware of harmful drugs.
Monday was wear red day. On this day each student was given a red bracelet with a number to wear. Then each day during the week the office secretary would call out a students bracelet number. If the student was still wearing the bracelet and came to the office, they were given a treat.
Tuesday was camouflage day or Be All You Can Be and Be Drug Free. The children dressed in camouflage clothing on that day.
Wednesday was Don't Be a Dum Dum. On that day the children dressed as nerds. Also the Governing Youth Council from Emery High School presented a Skit with a Western theme for Red Ribbon Week at Cottonwood Elementary School in Orangeville.
The Governing Youth Council members A.J. Borda, Laurel Jeffries, Jennifer Anderson, Tylynn Webster, and Brody Humphrey presented the skit. All of the characters were dressed as cowboys and in this skit, the rules of the ranch were discussed, demonstrated and sung about. The Rules Of The Ranch were as follows, "Only Say Positive Things To Your Self." "Treat Others The Way You Would Like To Be Treated." "Don't Be Discouraged By Mistakes." "Do Your Best At Whatever You Do." "Be Responsible." "Find The Things You Like To Do and Learn To Do Them Well." The Governing Youth Council is under the direction of Advisor Lorie Huntington from Four Corners Behavioral Health.
On Wednesday after the skit all the students were given red balloons to release into the air over Orangeville. It was a beautiful sight to see the balloons floating up into a cloudless blue sky.
Thursday was Be Drug Free Inside and Out. The students dressed in clothes turned inside out. Sgt. Tom Harrison and Detective Jerod Curtis from the Emery County Sheriff's Office, Drug Task Force, presented several topics starting with tobacco, marijuana, alcohol along with other harmful drugs and finally a discussion of what to be aware of in the community and to report illegal activity. The demonstration of what alcohol impairment looks like (using special glasses) was very convincing. The final instructions that these officers gave were as follows: If you are asked to try a harmful substance, Just Say No.
Friday was Hocus Pocus Don't Let Drugs Be Your Focus. The children and teachers dressed in their Halloween costumes walked out of the school front door and around the block as children's proud parents watched.
Friday evening Cottonwood Elementary held a Halloween Carnival and Spook Alley that included a soup supper all for $3.

Author of Ed Engoron's Choclatique, Running Press, 2011
Muffins are the all-American quick bread that is baked in small portions usually in the shape of cupcakes. Usually they are not as sweet as cupcakes and generally are not frosted. They may be filled with sweet fillings, such as chocolate, toffee or fruit—the most common being blueberries.
My muffins are made with both dark and milk chocolate. They are rich and tender, high-rising, and deep chocolaty—both in color and flavor—kissed with the flavor of fresh orange zest. Serve them warm right from the oven; spread them with butter, jam or better yet one of my chocolate butters. You will soon discover they are the totally decadent way to start the day.
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ready In: 45 minutes
Yields 12 muffins
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/3 cup Choclatique 72% Ebony Dark Chocolate Pastilles, melted
1 tablespoon orange zest
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup Choclatique Milk Chocolate Chips
- Preheat oven to 400º F.
- Lightly spray a 12 cup muffin pan with food release, or line with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time along with the melted chocolate then stir in the orange zest, orange juice, vanilla extract and buttermilk.
- Pour into the flour mixture, and mix just until evenly moist.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spoon or scoop batter into muffin cups.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let muffins cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before removing from the pan.
ChefSecret: To make sure the chocolate chips don't drop down to the bottom of the muffin tin, lightly toss them in flour before folding into the batter and they will stay suspended in the middle of the muffin.

It's important to buckle up, every trip, every time, no matter the distance of the drive. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 52 percent of car crashes occur within a five-mile radius of a motorist's home and nearly 70 percent happen within 10 miles from home. Wearing a seat belt doubles motorists' and passengers' chances of surviving a crash.
"Buckling up—something that takes literally two seconds—can be the difference between life and serious injury, or even death, in a crash," said Sgt. MaQuade Chesley, Public Information Officer. "We encourage drivers to fasten their seat belts before they start their car, and to enforce this rule with passengers to ensure everyone is buckled before taking off."
During this Joining Forces enforcement campaign, which runs through Dec. 10, officers are looking for drivers who "fake it" by rushing to click their belt into place when pulled over for another offense. Faking it won't protect lives. Drivers are not only accountable for themselves, but they also will be penalized for occupants in the vehicle who are not restrained.
While Nevada's seat belt use rate of 91 percent is higher than the national average of 86 percent, law enforcement officials are zeroing in on that nine percent who do not wear their seat belts. The intent of the Joining Forces campaign is to educate that minority— which accounts for 43 percent of fatalities on the state's roadways—about the importance of buckling up.
Nevada Joining Forces is a multi-jurisdictional law enforcement program that promotes statewide enforcement of seat belt use, DUI, distracted driving, speed and pedestrian safety. During this campaign last year, Nevada's Joining Forces partners made 4,801 stops statewide, citing 3,986 adults and 95 teens. In addition, 328 adults were issued citations for improperly restraining children.
The Click It or Ticket campaign is the nation's most successful seat belt compliance effort, significantly raising awareness and seat belt usage since its inception. More information about seat belt use and Nevada's Zero Fatalities program is available at http://ZeroFatalitiesNV.com/buckle.

Danica Patrick, who is competing for the first time at Martinsville Speedway, said she'll use car owner Tony Stewart, a three-time winner at the track, as a sounding board
MARTINSVILLE, Va. — Many drivers employ humor to cope with disastrous debuts at Martinsville Speedway, but it'll be no laughing matter for Danica Patrick if Sunday's STP 500 is a new miserable experience.
"I think (the Las Vegas race) was the worst day of my life," she said with a laugh Friday morning before her first laps on the 0.526-mile oval in Sprint Cup practice.. "I can't have another worst day of my life."
PATRICK: Braces for Martinsville debut
Patrick, though, is expecting the shortest track in NASCAR's premier series could make for a very long afternoon, and there'd be no shortage of veterans who would agree. As a rookie at Martinsville in 2000, Dale Earnhardt Jr. jokes about running into competitors' cars, the pace car and an ambulance on his way to a 36th. Tony Stewart initially hated the place so much, he said it was "a parking lot with curbs" and would have been better served as a bass pond.
COLUMN: Martinsville action shouldn't be missed
Three-time champion Stewart is a three-time winner at Martinsville, and Patrick said she'd be using her car owner as a sounding board for advice while also following his line around the oval in practice.
But she conceded, "I don't know what to expect. Am I going to go out there and be just fine or am I going to go out there and be a total disaster? It might feel like those times when I drove a Nationwide car for the first time at tracks that I hadn't been to and all I do is look in my mirror the whole time for what's going on."
PHOTOS: Danica Patrick's NASCAR career
Stewart-Haas Racing had scheduled to test Patrick at Martinsville, but plans were scuttled because a new tire couldn't be used. She did turn laps at Rockingham Speedway's short track and seemed confident she learned about proper braking and building stamina.
Martinsville also will mark only the second time Patrick has made a track debut this season (having raced Cup prior to the 2013 season at Daytona International Speedway, Phoenix International Raceway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway and Bristol Motor Speedway).
"I always feel like the more new a situation is, kind of the less expectations there are and in general the less pressure and less nerves," she said. "Definitely being here for the first time and understanding how challenging it is, I feel like it's only up from here. I have no doubt that it will be a hard day, but I'm also of the belief that it can also be a really fun day. If the car performs as well as it did at (the test), there's no reason we can't have a decent day."
Since finishing eighth from the pole position in the season-opening Daytona 500, Patrick's No. 10 Chevrolet hasn't finished in the top 25 in four starts.
"It's been not as good as what I had hoped for," she said. "Then again I also said I'm not going to set expectation levels at this point."
Patrick did manage a 26th two weeks ago in her first outing at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif., which provided a glimmer of hope.
"I really thought I was going to get lapped five or more times at least; that's how bad I felt in practice," she said. "We did end up a lap down, but at least we were kind of respectable. Most importantly, we made the car better throughout the race. That was something that hasn't happened all season. So that's a positive I take from Fontana."

Nothing better than fresh orange juice! Review by Erica
Okay Review by AJ
Gets out a a lot of the juice but you have to make sure to place the right container beneath to prevent loss of juice.I ended up spilling a lot of juice. (Posted on 2/21/16)

Very good and convinient Review by AnnaJ
Overall very good after regular citrus juicer...power of mixer does it all. The only thing is that to control amount of pulp you have to manually add it to your juice. (Posted on 12/10/15)

Great product for a great price ! Review by Ruth
I received this and used it right away as I juice oranges every morning. It was easy to install on the Kitchen Aid Mixer I have and juicing the oranges went very smoothly. Putting a good sized bowl underneath the juicer helps but the juice is pretty much contained in the area at the end of the juicer anyway so there was no "juice everywhere" but a smooth stream of juice that goes into the bowl. You can use the bowl from the Kitchen Aid Mixer or another bowl you have. The juicer is certainly worth the money. I'm just hoping the plastic part doesn't get damaged. However, if it did, I'd just order another one...it's worth it to me. (Posted on 1/29/15)

Nearly Commercial Quality Juicer At A Great Price Review by Guest
I bought a cheap Black & Decker stand alone juicer with an anemic motor and cheap plastic gears that died after a couple of pounds of lemons. I replaced it with the KitchenAid juicer attachment for only a few dollars more and have processed a lot of citrus with this KitchenAid mixer attachment. I will often volunteer to bring a five gallon cooler of home squeezed lemonade or limeade to various functions and this Kitchenaid juicer is up to the task. It has lasted a long time, is still going strong, and there is much less hand fatigue when processing large amounts of fruit compared to the vertical stand alone versions. Many times, I've processed six pounds of lemons in 15-20 minutes. The power of a KitchenAid mixer will juice a lemon in a hurry! Lose the plastic strainer that quickly clogs and use a large stainless strainer with a handle and two ears that fit nicely over the top of the stainless KitchenAid mixer bowl to catch the juice. Dump water through the pulp and stir with a spoon to extract the last of the juice and leave the pulp and seeds behind. I'll juice a bag of lemons and freeze the juice in plastic ice cube trays and keep them in the freezer to use instead of fresh lemon juice when cooking, or to make a quick glass of lemonade (1 lemon juice cube, 1 T sugar, 8 oz water, stir to melt cube and dissolve sugar, then fill the glass with ice). BTW - To make five gallons of fresh homemade lemonade or limeade, juice six pounds of fruit (three of the two pound bags, about thirty lemons), add water to make three gallons, stir in six cups of sugar, and add a bag of ice to fill the five gallon cooler. (Posted on 8/7/11)
Kitchenaid citrus juicer JE Review by Guest
I purchased this attachment to juice a large number of oranges. After about 10 pounds of fruit a black substance appeared in the cup. This turned out to be residue from the bushing in the cup. Apparently juice managed to get on the spindle and ate up the bronze or brass bushing. Kitchenaid informed me that the unit was not designed to do such a large amount of fruit but rather a couple of oranges for breakfast. For that task I have a hand operated air cooled model from the dollar store. In fairness, they did replace the juicer at no charge, but this isn't the kind of product I have come to expect from Kitchenaid. (Posted on 5/14/11)
Kitchenaid Citrus Juicer Attachment Review by Guest
I have large orange and lemon trees in my backyard that I'm not always successful in giving away all the fruit. I usually resort to juicing what's left, but most juicers I've found are not up to the task and make it rather tedious work. This Kitchenaid Citrus Attachment setup provides plenty of power at different speeds and by grasping the machine at both ends you can clean out the pulp completely and easily. This citrus juicer attachment may be a bit much for just the occasional glass of juice, but for someone who's got a several dozen oranges or lemons to dispose of, it's a godsend! (Posted on 5/9/11)

Except for community centers operated by specific organizations, other community centers are just simply rental spaces for parties or rooms with gym facilities.
