|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I would recommend The West River Sailing Club in Galesville, (South of Annapolis). They have an excellent (and inexpensive) learn to sail and learn to race program. It is also a nice place to relax and enjoy the view.
That is a fun place to sail.
It's much more peaceful than the Washington Sailing Marina with the planes taking off from Regan National!!
Report from sailing school
I just finished the 2-day Basic Sailing Course at Mariner Sailing School in Belle Haven, Virginia and wanted to report back.
The course was great. The first day we got right in the boat (19' Flying Scott) after a short introduction and learned/practiced points of sail, tacking and jibing. The second day was more practice with basic sailing techniques, and also man overboard and docking/mooring drills. The class size is very small, only three to a boat (we had two plus our instructor so it was almost like a private lesson for the price of a course, which was great) so there's very little time spent not sailing, and lots of practice at the tiller. There's a week of free boat rentals (weekdays only) after the class to practice and half-price rentals from the Marina afterward. For those considering a short course, I highly suggest taking it with a friend/partner so that you can have a crew to practice with after the course, or make friends with a more experienced sailor who will want to go out with you.
We had different instructors on both days, which really underlined the difference an instructor can make to the whole experience. Both were quite good, just very different styles. We learned a lot and I would definitely recommend them to others in the area who want to learn to sail.
Selecting a school
Right now I'm considering the Mariner Sailing School (in Virginia), J World Annapolis, the Chesapeake Sailing School, and BaySail. Any experience with these schools? Any opinions? Any other recommendations?
The schools you quote have 3 different programs, Red Cross, ASA and US sailing. Firstly, you need to establish which program you would like to follow. essentially: Red Cross is very basic, ASA is more cruising focussed and US Sailing is more racing focussed. Once you have done this narrow your choice to 3/4 schools by location/cost etc and then call them and ask about their program and ask if you can speak to former students. You're spending good money - get a good school!
Sailtime Annapolis
I just finished a 3 day ASA 101 class out of Port Annapolis with Sailtime. I thought the class was really good and they only have 2 people in their 101 classes. We got to sail a 22' and 33' Hunter for the class. I think having that extra 3rd day allowed you to practice what you learned in the first 2 days.
Thanks again everyone!
After reading all your very helpful responses, I think my plan is to sign up for the 2-day beginner course at the Mariner Sailing School (near DC) and spend a good part of this summer taking advantage of the cheaper boat rentals on the Potomac to practice. Thanks for reassuring me about wind conditions on the Potomac, that was my main concern about learning here, rather than on the Chesapeake.
Then next summer, perhaps I'll take one of the more advanced keelboat classes on the Chesapeake. Looks like it would be hard to go wrong among several recommended programs there, although I'm leaning slightly toward the 4-day live-aboard program at the Maryland School of Sailing.
Thanks again for all the great suggestions. I learned the hard way with a very disappointing skulling class last year that good instruction is very important - particularly with regards to boat safety (not until I dumped myself in the Potomac catching a crab on the last day of class did I realize we had done no capsize drills at all - I actually had to be rescued from the water - what if it had happened the next day when I would have been in the boat alone?) I'm determined to do my research this time around.
|I went to J World in Annapolis - I was extremely satisfied and couldn't say enough good things about the program and it's instructors. The 5 day course will set you back around $900. The instruction is done on J24's and they have you doing everything right off the bat with more than enough water time. Usually 3 students per boat that rotate between the helm, mainsheet trim and jib trim. I have also been back for some additional private instruction on a new 105 to get instruction on docking under power and other sailing techniques. I've had a few questions post-instruction with my new boat and just gave them a ring or e-mailed them and they gave very detailed answers (had to follow up on using the boom vang effectively)... They also have various alumni events - you can jump in on a first come first serve basis to jump in on their weekly races for free and they do various flotilla's (BVI's etc) at reasonable rates. I'm pretty sure Sail magazine consistently ranks them as the top sailing school based on student surveys...
I posted a reply to this thread a few days ago but I guess it got lost in the ether.
If you are looking for a "learn-to-sail" program that is convenient to your residence/work in DC, here's another vote for the Mariner Sailing School. They run a really nice basic sailing program, using Flying Scots which are a nice stable platform for beginners.
Don't worry about lack of wind -- they generally have a decent breeze there. If there is ABSOLUTELY no wind -- they will reschedule your lesson. But the Scots are actually quite decent in light air, so it's unlikely you won't sail.
Also, think of these first lessons as an initial step or building block. After completing a basic program locally, you may later want to consider a more advanced program out near Annapolis. In other words, it's not necessarily an either/or decision.

I had looked into the Annapolis Sailing School, but had crossed it off the list because I found a comment (yelp? here?) that they didn't refund or reschedule classes if there was bad weather.
I will also look into a community sailing program. I found one here, but the marina looked to be highly unpleasant (very urban, have to motor around cruise ships). I hadn't thought to extend that search to Annapolis.
2. I don't go out in small craft warnings, but I think you will find that unless there is lightning, the show goes on!!
3. Community sailing programs are great for the committed but some require as much time as ownership itself.
The long and short of it is, you are going to spend about $400
You may get good weather or bad, but either will give you experience.
When our instructor said "today we are learning to reef the main" instead of going home I just but it was an experience!!
|I took my daughters (age 11 and 8) to Chesapeake Sailing School last week. I went there becasue Annapolis SS has an age limit (12 I think) and a lot of other schools were not open yet. I went for two 4 hour private lessons for the 3 of us (I needed a refresher) as it was pretty cost effective and they train on Tanzer 22s which are easy to singlehand. The teacher (Irene) was great and she is an instructor at USNA so she new her stuff. I found that Chesapeake was friendly, more than willing to accomodate us coming all the way from upstate NY, and they were flexible.

WASHINGTON, D.C., June 30, 2011 - The Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism joined Catholics for Choice, the National Council of Jewish Women, and the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice in leading a briefing today on Capitol Hill to highlight religious support for access to reproductive health care services, including abortion services. The briefing was also sponsored by more than a dozen faith organizations, including the Men of Reform Judaism and Women of Reform Judaism.
At issue are two bills that would severely restrict a woman's right to access safe and affordable abortion services. The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act (H.R. 3/S. 906) and the Protect Life Act (H.R. 358/S. 877) would limit a woman's ability to use her own private funds for abortion services and expand conscience clauses in a way that fails to strike the proper balance between the individual health care provider's right to his or her own religious and moral beliefs and the patient's right to access health care services in a timely manner. The briefing emphasized that millions of people of faith oppose these bills based on our shared commitments to respecting women's moral agency, achieving social justice in health care, protecting women's lives and health, and safeguarding religious liberty.
RAC Eisendrath Legislative Assistant Deborah Swerdlow spoke at the briefing about how the two bills rob women of the right to choose and deny their dignity as human beings. Below are statements from all of the speakers:
Deborah Swerdlow, RAC Eisendrath Legislative Assistant: "The restrictions on federal funding and insurance coverage of abortion services, the continuation of the ban on servicewomen using their own private funds for abortion services, and so-called 'conscience clauses' that prioritize the health care provider over the woman's health and well-being are an affront to a woman's fundamental dignity. The Reform Jewish Movement, like the other faith traditions represented here today, strongly believes that women are moral agents entitled to and capable of making their own health decisions."
Sara Hutchinson, Director for Domestic Programs at Catholics for Choice: "Despite the best efforts of the U.S. bishops to claim otherwise, large majorities of Catholic voters support access to and coverage for abortions in private- or government-run health systems. Catholic social justice tradition encourages us to advocate for the poor, and our intellectual tradition requires our respect for conscience-based decisions people make about their lives, including decisions about reproductive health."
Amy Cotton, Legislative Associate at the National Council of Jewish Women: "NCJW has a long history of support for women's reproductive choices and is proud to join some of our partner organizations to share why millions of people of faith similarly support reproductive rights. We recognize that within and across religious traditions, people can and do hold a variety of views on this issue and we submit that this diversity of opinions is a question our nation has answered by upholding the key, founding principle of religious freedom. We call on Congress to preserve this key tenet by rejecting proposals like S. 906 and S. 877, both of which - if passed - would result in the Legislature endorsing one religious viewpoint over others."
Nicolette Paterson, Director of Public Policy at the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice: "Members of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice -- including the Episcopal Church, Presbyterian Church (USA), United Church of Christ, the General Board of Church and Society and the Women's Division of the United Methodist Church, the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations, and Reform, Conservative, Reconstructionist and Humanistic Judaism -- support women's access to comprehensive reproductive health care, including abortion care. As religious organizations, we believe that legislation such as S. 906 and S. 877, which will hurt all women but particularly those who are poor, vulnerable and marginalized, is profoundly unjust. Comprehensive reproductive health care is compassionate, necessary and morally just, and our elected representatives have a duty to women and families to ensure it is accessible to all."

text: I keep getting told that I should refinance my mortgage. While I know that works for some people, in my case, I think it just don't make any sense. I currently am down to owing $40K on my mortgage, which currently is due to be paid off in May 2018, at 4.5%. Now, why in the world would I refinance to a 10 year mortgage at a lower rate (which around here seems to be around 3.9%) and extend the length to 10 years, when I will have it paid off in 5 years leaving everything as is? And would I not have to shell out a few thousand bucks upfront for fees and processing, etc.? To me it just does not make sense to refinance in my situation. Am I right?

Here is my Han in Carbonite Boebblehead model. I meant to post this with work in progress photos, but the photos are HUGE. I had enough trouble trying to upload them, and so I'll only post the latest photo of Boba and his bounty. I'll try to resize the photos so I can post them here if you want to.
This HIC was made from the standard Han Solo Bobblehead, with carbonite made from plaster, new hands from two part epoxy, and the carbonite block casing from scrap pieces of sintra.
It still needs to be attached to the base, and the side panes are missing. Still, I think I got pretty close to the 'original'...
What do you think?

Phoenix Nordic Skiing Teams Open Season at Grandview XC Challenge
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
IRONWOOD, Mich. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay men's and women's Nordic skiing teams got one of their first chances to race in the snow over the weekend at the Grandview XC Challenge in Ironwood, Mich. The Phoenix squads competed in the freestyle events on Saturday before wrapping up with the classic races on Sunday.
Matt Nistler (Bemidji, Minn.) had a great weekend for the Phoenix men, pacing his team with a 15th-place finish in the 10K classic (27:33) on Sunday after crossing the line in 20th in the 10K freestyle (25:03) on Saturday. Matt Nichols (Wausau, Wis.), a 17-year-old freshman, also had a strong showing in Ironwood, finishing 21st overall in the classic race (27:53) and 26th in the freestyle (25:34).
Eddie Gurney (Brookfield, Wis.) turned in a pair of strong performances as well, placing 22nd in the 10K freestyle (25:15) and 27th in the 10K classic (28:11).
Hanne Guthrie (Chanhassen, Minn.) led the Phoenix women in both races over the weekend, placing 24th in the 5K freestyle event (15:00) on Saturday and 26th in the 10K classic (34:19) on Sunday.
"Hanne Guthrie is having a breakthrough season," Phoenix head coach Ken Statz said. "Her hard work throughout the summer is starting to pay off. She is as tough as nails and is a very hard worker. Look for her name at the top of the results for years to come."
Next on the schedule for the Green Bay Nordic skiing teams is the US Nationals, held in Rumford, Maine from Monday, Jan. 2 through Friday, Jan. 6. Competing at the US Nationals for the Phoenix will be Nichols, Nistler, Gurney and Guthrie.

Lock washer behind the nut? Do you have an extra/new nut for it? Does it have to be replaced? Neat little pistol back then but I'm glad I waited for the p-22.
Anyone have any ideas on getting a barrel nut loose on a sw2213? Ive tried soakingit in penetrating oil. Using the right tool. Tried heat etc. If thers any gunsmiths any ideas? Im aboit to pay to jave it removed. Jim
Lock washer behind the nut? Do you have an extra/new nut for it? Does it have to be replaced? Neat little pistol back then but I'm glad I waited for the p-22.
I think the lock washer is missing since the barrel slides back and forth. Ewkarms sells a replacement nut/suppressor adaptor so if the nut gets messed up I have a option. Im going to run it over to a smith this weekend and see what theyll charge to remove it. Jim
Factory may be cheaper.good luck man.Does it work now? If so. ..
Last edited by nutznboltz; 02-06-2014 at 10:36 PM. Reason: cause
I cant shoot it now because the slide moves up when it goes back. Ill contact sw too. Jim
Don't recall sending anything back to s&w but ruger has treated me right on couple of times. As in pay shipping to them and boom you get it back no charge. Can't vouch for s&w tho.but you'll get a quote at least. If I had a Browning I wanted refinished who could put it back like factory but the factory? My 2cents. Neat little pistol btw.
The last 2 things I've sent back to S&W didn't end up being handled well at all. I sent back a pistol scope and they sent me some POS you couldn't even see through worth crap and 2-3 correspondence later on this,I got to sent it back. They sent a different one,,the same model, that was only slightly better, and this is a $300 scope, supposedly!! I tried to get in touch on another firearms related issue and it went unaddressed by them,too, I never got an answer back at all.
Then after many I calls and finally I got some rude SOB from the shop on the phone when I was trying to get the pistol scope mount issue squared away. And all I was trying to do was just find a mount that would match the same screw pattern of the original scope mount that was on the gun to start with, made by them BTW. The dumb bastard couldn't get through his head that the new style mount holes would overlap the original holes by 1/2 the width,,his answer,,we'll just do some more holes!!!! WHAT ???,,,last thing I want is 6 holes in the back strap of my Model 57 , Custom Shop 41 Mag,,, Not Very Fucking Likely!!!!! That gun was over a grand back in 1979-80 when I bought it, I don't want it butchered !!!
I haven't bought another new Smith in 7-8 years, other than the body guard 380. With service like that I probably won't again either.
Just some of the stuff I've run into with them.
That washer isn't a lock washer btw, its a thrust washer, which acts like a barrel bushing, it's a good possibility if it had been fired without it,, it could have peened the back side of the nut over from hitting the slide ,, locking it to the barrel threads making it hard to get off. Just a possibility, and the bad part, you wouldn't know till you get it apart either. It's more than likely going to require parts if this is the case. Somethings going to be buggered for sure, if what I suspect is true.
That's just a guess on my part though,not being able to see the gun personally. I think there was a Browning or Mauser design gun set up kinda like that ,,way back when, late 1800's -early 1900's,wasn't there ,I don't recall ??
I stopped at the smith today and they quoted me $40 to remove the nut. 2-3 weeks but what the heck. Ive got a blued sw422 i traded for a few years ago. I swapped the slide and made a two toned 422 out of it. I see ewkarms sells the threaded adapter for these little guns. If the gunsmith has to destroy the nut im going to go with the threaded adapter. Im hoping the threads on the barrel isnt all bjggered up. Jim
Like I said I've never sent a Smith back. Always worked on my own except for a couple ruger pistol s that had to have factory replacement parts. Good luck on the local guy .
Im usually a do it yourselfer but this this is stuck so hard i just dont have the tools to do it right. Even if I could drill the nut and crack it my cheap drillpress would probably wander enought to hit the barrel or frame. This time I decided to send it out before I screw it up.

|I was flattened by the flu earlier in the week and needed a relatively easy outing - Mt Hope fit the bill perfectly! The snowpitch below the summit is still there - though probably not for long - and required an ax. The snow was deep and suncupped. Views from the top of this peak are simply amazing. Storm clouds suggested we skip Quail and just hike that one with the dogs next time. Climbed up with a juvenile male goat following us and taking quite an interest in us. Drinks and dinner at Eddy Line afterwards. With Mike.

|Up from the Willis Gulch TH, via the NE ridge, with Megan and Katie, both 13. A nice day. En route down, though, Katie fractured her ankle. Fortunately we were already on the trail. She didn't really know what happened; she didn't even fall over, but just caught her foot wrong some way. So much for the high end ankle-protecting hiking boots I'd bought her in Denver a couple of days earlier... I didn't know at the time that the bone was damaged, but it was absolutely clear that she wouldn't be able to walk off the mountain. Fortunately, we were only ~ 2 mi from the TH -- all downhill -- and on a major trail, so it wasn't too hard to carry her out (95lbs). Definitely fortunate that this didn't happen higher on the hill. I assumed soft tissue damage, but we went anyway to the ER at Aspen Hosp to check out the injury: fracture. Ouch.

3900 S. Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas, NV, 891191000
Location: Strip
Type: Museums And Exhibits, Family Friendly
Although the "ship of dreams" met its demise nearly a century ago, the spirit of the Titanic and its passengers live on through "Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition."
Described as a floating palace, the incomparable Titanic was deemed "practically unsinkable" by the White Star Line and its builders. But on a calm, April night in 1912, the massive luxury liner struck an iceberg and slowly sank into the North Atlantic.
Since then, many items from the wreckage have been recovered and added to "Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition." The 25,000-square-foot exhibit features numerous items from the Titanic, including a suitcase, a felt bowler hat, the ship's whistles, glassware etched with the logo of the White Star Line and even a massive piece of the ship itself. In addition, the exhibit features a full-scale re-creation of the Grand Staircase as well as a newly expanded outer Promenade Deck, complete with a re-creation of the frigid temperatures felt on that fateful April night.
The personal artifacts on display offer haunting, emotional connections to the forever-altered lives of those on board the Titanic. Visitors even have a chance to walk through authentically recreated first- and third-class rooms, with furnishings by original manufacturers.
The passenger list for the Titanic's maiden voyage read like a social register for the time, including names such as John Jacob Astor IV, who built the Astoria Hotel in New York; women's rights advocate Molly Brown; businessman Benjamin Guggenheim; Isidor Straus, of the L. Straus & Son fame, and his wife; and many others. There also were a number of immigrants on board, pursuing the dream of a better life in America.
Of the 2,228 passengers on board; more than 1,500 of them died. The exhibit concludes with a memorial wall honoring all those who lost their lives that fateful night.
The subject matter is somber, but "Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition" details an important chapter in maritime history that will leave a lasting impression.

NJ: Buckle up Your Dog & Cat or Face Fines
Garden State drivers who fail to buckle up their cat or dog could face criminal charges as well as fines totaling up to $1,000, according to the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission.
"You should not be driving down the road under any circumstances with a dog driving the car," said Elyse Coffey, a spokesperson for the New Jersey MVC. "We don't want dogs driving with the steering wheel and we don't want cats who sit on the dashboard."
State officials are teaming up with the NJ Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to enforce laws requiring motorists to "properly restrain their pets."
The law forbids dogs from hanging out windows – and also from riding in the bed of a pickup truck.
Drivers who fail to do so could face fines from $250 to $1,000 – for each offense. They could also be charged with disorderly conduct under New Jersey's animal cruelty statutes.
"As your family gets ready to embark on their family vacation, you take the time to buckle up your kids because you love them," Coffey told Fox News Radio. "It's also time to take a look at your furry family members."
She said driving with a distracted animal in the car could be dangerous not only for the family pet, but also for other motorists.
Coffey cited a 2010 AAA survey indicating that 31 percent of drivers said they were distracted by their dog while driving.
"I hate to sound like we're picking on dogs, but that's normally the animal we're talking about," she said, noting that the law requires all animals to be buckled up.
"We're not talking about dogs who will lay down nicely on the back seat," she said. "We're talking about cute lap dogs that sit on your lap and look like they are literally driving the car – or other dogs who hang so far out the window they could leap."
A number of New Jersey motorists are calling the law ridiculous and overreaching.
"What nonsense," one reader told the CBS television affiliate in Philadelphia. "I have an SUV that my dog rides in the back of. Why on Earth would I tie her down?"
"That is not overreaching," Coffee said. "At any moment that dog could see something interesting and decide to jump out of the car."
Another reader pondered, "Does that mean I have to buckle my puppy/kitten in an infant car seat?
Coffey said there are plenty of protective animal devices on the market.
"They are not constraining at all," she said. 'They simply prevent an animal – in case of a horrible accident – from becoming a projectile."

Squad attend Save the Children presentation
Arsenal's first-team squad attended a special Save The Children presentation at the training ground this week.
The players gathered for a talk about the work of the Club's global charity partner ahead of a training session at London Colney. Over the forthcoming season, Arsenal will be supporting the charity on a range of education projects in the UK and overseas, helping the poorest children get a better start in life and giving them the chance to grow and fulfil their potential.

I was wondering if any of you have attempted painting the Bantha skull on the bell,or if EVERYONE uses decals.I plan on painting my own & was wondering if it was worth the effort.
Printable View
I was wondering if any of you have attempted painting the Bantha skull on the bell,or if EVERYONE uses decals.I plan on painting my own & was wondering if it was worth the effort.
I painted mine, it gives it a certain "look" but I had to touch it up 2-3 times to get it to look right, but to save time, you could always get a decal, apply it, then paint over it to give it that hand made look.
Paint it... you can always tell if something is a sticker and this particular design looks best as painted art. Now the chest emblem would look fine either way in my opinion.
Does anyone have a movie accurate, correct scale pic we could print off to use as a template/reference? And what color should the ESB skull be?
Painted mine and it came out great. Don't have the template that I used right now. I'll see if I can find it.
I painted my own emblems. I made a template from a pic posted here, cut it out and traced on painters tape that was on a transparency sheet. I cut it out with an exacto and peeled it off. I used a rust primer for the color.
i hand painted mine and i must say i even impressed myself .
Yep....I painted my on my Boba 1.0 version.....the bantha skull turned out perfect....the chest one I was never really happy with. Boba 2.0 is pretty much done now.....but no chest emblem yet. I'm gunshy after the first one. I'll have to practice a bit and take my time.
hey, i paint my own too....well, maybe i got a little chepo, and printed off a pic of the emblem, cut it out, and just spray painted it on...but, i DID do the pinstriping with a very fine brush tip, and some paint. :-)
i don use a decal, i just print the skull and the chest symbol on a regular paper and the paste on to the armor :D works very well
but the decal is your best choice

Where desktop sanity prevails
While the knock-down drag-out debate over the great leap in desktop environment "developments" has raged over the last several months, Clement Lefebvre and the team over at Linux Mint have been taking a more sane and sound approach — mostly under the radar — to the whole desktop interface hubbub.
Thankfully this approach comes with enormously positive results: Desktop environment developments on tap for Linux Mint 12 could be an enormous boon for both Linux Mint itself and for other distros choosing to integrate some or all of these UI developments.
Lefebvre outlines in great detail what's in store for Linux Mint 12 in a blog item posted Friday. After apologizing to folks for not being more forthcoming with the changes — "The reason we've been so silent is because we didn't want to promise something we could not guarantee," he writes — Lefebvre delves into an excellent solution to the whole desktop fiasco, which includes:
— An improved GNOME 3 experience thanks to Mint GNOME Shell Extentions: To their credit, Linux Mint stuck to their GNOME 2.32 guns in Linux Mint 11. However, realizing that the writing was on the wall for the lack of future for GNOME 2.32 (more on this later), Lefevbre and the Linux Mint team put together a set of extensions — MGSE — which "makes it possible for you to use Gnome 3 in a traditional way. You can disable all components within MGSE to get a pure Gnome 3 experience, or you can enable all of them to get a Gnome 3 desktop that is similar to what you've been using before. Of course you can also pick and only enable the components you like to design your own desktop," according to Lefevbre.
As an aside, if you'll permit me a Captain Obvious moment, this is how things work in the FOSS realm. Ideally, extensions like MGSE can be picked up by GNOME and integrated into later updates or releases of the desktop environment, providing a lot more flexibility for users who may be using another desktop because of GNOME 3's rigidity.
— Check MATE: Not one to shy away from herculean tasks, the Linux Mint team will try — try is the key word here — to provide MATE, a fork of Gnome 2.32, on Linux Mint 12. Conflicts between GNOME 2 and 3 are many and profound, which makes this an arduous task to provide that GNOME 3 and MATE will coexist peacefully on your computer, switching freely between desktops from the login screen. But Lefevbre sounds hopeful: "Conflicts with Gnome and the migrations of applications and themes are easy to fix. So if MATE makes it to our liveDVD, it's likely to come with some rough edges but with your feedback we'll be able to solve most problems very quickly."
Linux Mint 12 is expected to be released later this month, around the 20th. A release candidate could be available by the end of this week.
Numbers being what they are — mostly misleading on Distrowatch for any category past seven days (it's a "lies, damned lies and statistics" situation, as outlined by Mark Twain, for any category other than a week) — it's this kind of listening to the community, and responding in a positive manner, that makes Linux Mint a rising popular choice when it comes to Linux distros.

I created the linkshell Eye of the Eternal.
I noticed alot of people have trouble finding a reliable LS or a fun/social community to talk to, for the reason we all have to apply to join one, and even after getting accepted it takes ages to get invited.

Entrepreneurs must master the art of juggling to be successful. This is a lesson that Marylyn Harris '07, University of St. Thomas Cameron School of Business alumna, knows all too well. Today she manages several separate business ventures, is a sought-after speaker on veteran benefits and entrepreneurial opportunities, and raises two children.
Harris has been recognized with local and national accolades for her work. This year alone, she received the 2013 White House Champion of Change award, awarded by First Lady Michelle Obama, and was honored by Mayor Annise Parker at the 2013 Small Business Awards Luncheon for her Women Veterans Business Center.
The Women Veteran's Business Center is her most recent venture and is aimed at educating and empowering women veterans and veteran families to own businesses. This is an issue close to her heart as she herself is a disabled woman veteran and entrepreneur. She wrote two books on the topic, "25 FREE Resources Every Texas Veteran Needs to Know" and "25 FREE Resources Every Texas Woman Veteran Needs to Know."
"Taking my kids to the White House is definitely a highlight," Harris said. "I have a life that is full of highlights. It is just a testimony to the abundant blessings in my life."
Aside from the Center, she is the President and CEO of Harrland Healthcare Consulting LLC, a medical consulting company that provides healthcare service and products, and is the National Ambassador for V-Wise, a program committed to providing women Veterans the tools to become successful entrepreneurs. Before Harris was an entrepreneurial success she had been a nurse for more than 20 years and served in the U.S. Army during Operation Desert Storm. Beginning to feel burned out and observing that healthcare was increasingly less about care and more about business, she knew she owed it to herself to go to business school.
Through her work with the Army, Harris was given the opportunity to serve her country. As a nurse she was able to serve the sick and infirm. Likewise, her studies at St. Thomas provided her with tools she now uses to serve her fellow veterans.
Harris had a full St. Thomas experience; she wrote for The Cauldron student newspaper, served in the student senate and went on study abroad trips. It was then that she began to hone her global perspective. She plans to work in international business, and after meeting other students from all over the globe, found it would be an attainable dream.
"What my education at St. Thomas did was take someone who was very much a business novice and gave me a knowledge base," Harris said. "It gave me not only an introduction to economics, marketing and accounting, it gave me a global perspective on life."
Her education is marked with hard work and motivation. It was this motivation that afforded her the opportunity to participate in the Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans after earning her MBA at St. Thomas. The boot camp is a program for disabled veterans, in conjunction with eight business schools, that teaches veterans the fundamentals of developing and executing a business plan. It was at Florida State University, while attending this boot camp, when Harris put together the business plan for the Women Veterans Business Center. After presenting her business plan to her boot camp professors and community investors, she was awarded $1,000 to help launch her business. Five months later she launched the Women Veterans Business Center in Houston.
Harris is not content to rest on her past success. She intends to pursue a doctoral degree so that she may teach at a collegiate level in the future. She also wants to continue growing her current business ventures. Harris is setting her trajectory "northeast," which is to say she is moving forward and moving up.

"Very rarely, and then only for urgent practical purposes, were those secrets ever committed to writing. Normally they would be passed from the priest to the initiate by word of mouth; dependent for their accurate transmission on the trained memories of men dedicated to the learning and recitation of their "scriptures". But if for some drastic reason like the disruption of their cultic centres by war or persecution, it became necessary to write down the precious names of the herbs and the manner

Due to its various stages and ratios of inhalation to exhalation, it is also suitable for most people. Keeping this in mind, the Yoga Research Foundation (YRF) undertook a research project from January to June 2002 to study some of the basic psychophysiological effects of nadi shodhana pranayama on 22 students enrolled in the Sannyasa Training Course

This technique will not only awaken the Kundalini energy, moving you towards spiritual enlightenment, it also can improve your health and remove all stress and unhappiness in your life. This Kriya Technique for Kundalini Awakening is probably one of the easiest ways to enter a blissful state of meditation.

Mula Bandha Mula Bandha, the root lock, is an important Yoga practice, but one that is often tucked into the back pages of Yoga manuals. The Sanskrit word mula refers to the root of a plant or tree. As in English, root can also mean the foot or base of an object, or the origin of a thing (the root of the problem). Here, mula indicates the base of the torso, the perineum, and it is associated with the Muladhara Chakra, lowest of the energy centers along the spine. Mula Bandha accompanies both

LOS ANGELES -- Jammin Java said it has secured $4 million in funding from two financial institutions to support an aggressive expansion for Marley Coffee, its flagship brand.
Jammin Java has signed a credit agreement with TCA Global Credit Master Fund that allows the company to borrow up to $2 million with a term of one year. It has also entered into an equity line of credit investment agreement with Fairhills Capital Management, which allows it to issue and sell up to $2 million worth of its common stock to Fairhills Capital.
Marley Coffee chairman Rohan Marley said the funding will support the Los Angeles-based company's plan to establish new distribution channels for its products nationally and internationally.
Marley Coffee chief executive Brent Toevs said the company and coffee brand has already strengthened its global presence through several important milestones achieved over the past year. "The reality is that we are executing on numerous initiatives, and with this financing in place we plan to strategically increase our workforce to successfully implement these business-building programs and continue our growth."
Marley Coffee is available for OCS in traditional fraction packages and single-serve pods, and is coming to full-line vending through branded machines.

These light kits are designed to fit the Asok and Animefan RF toppers. They run on a 3v coin cell battery (either the 2025 or the 2032). They are self contained and do not need a hollow stalk. There are 2 red LEDs that alternatively flash on the back of the board behind the tilt switch.
In the second pic, the area where the pen is shows where the Rf topper will need a bit of sanding to get the kit to fit properly, this is due to the type of tilt switch used and the excess resin in the toppers, as well as a little sanding around the inside of the red LED holes.
The vids below show the two versions I will be building; one with a white LED and one with a green LED. While not movie accurate, I like the green one and it is also the one I will have in my own FP lid. The clear piece in the vids sits inside the topper with nothing added to help hold it in, but a small magnet glued to the topper and a small piece of metal like a washer glued to the clear Perspex piece should be enough to hold it in place.
Lou (Darth Voorhees) now has a helmet kit with an RF topper that will fit the self contained light kit. So now it is the Asok/Animefan/DVH Self contained Rf light kit.
Animefan has made some changes to his topper and stalk. His kit now includes a stalk that has a hollow tube for wires as well as a threaded mounting post. With these new parts on the stalk, the light kit will not fit inside the topper due to new stalk.
The light kit still fits his RF topper, but due to the changes to the stalk, some extra work will be needed for it to fit. The tube and threaded post will need to be removed for the kit to fit, along with the sanding referred to in the pics below.
If any animefan buyers have any questions feel free to send me a PM and I will try to help as much as I can.
Check out post #226 for pics and a video of the kit (with a few modifications) installed in the new Animefan RF topper.
If there is interest in this new modified kit, I can make this a permanent item and ad it to the sellbuddy ad.
Green kits are also available, but they will not be sold through sellbuddy. If one of those is desired, please send me a PM and I will let you know the timeframe of availability, and the price is the same as the white kit.
Once the kit is shipped I will send you a PM with the tracking info, and I will be using the US Postal Service for shipping.
I just found out from WebChief on the bounty hunter's guild (he is the detachment leader) that the new Boba Fett ESB CRL lists the perspex light as white, and the ROTJ is white as well for level 2/3 approval. This information as of right now is correct, but I will keep an eye on the CRLs for any changes.
I will offer these with a green Perspex LED, but only by request.
I also made a slight change in the board, the ones that I will be offering from now on are a little smaller and the Perspex led is more in the center of the Perspex piece.
The tilt switch on the kit is very sensitive, so when installing the kit make sure that the topper has been sanded out like in the picture below on the right, otherwise the tilt switch leads could be bent, which would cause it to not work correctly.
Here is a Dropbox link for instructions for my kits.

Hi guys,
I am really thrilled to be able to share this info with you although the circumstances that brought the ability for me to share this is less than ideal.
As some of you may know, there is strong evidence that the PrePro2 costume was supposed to be THE esb hero suit. It is the suit that was most photographed for publicity. It was the suit that Kenner used for their photoshoot for the toy. It was also the Prepro2 helmet that was sent to Don Post to be cast for their helmet line.
As long as I have been in this hobby there has been a rumor that the ESB suit was stolen. There was never really any proof, just a rumor. Well, in a way, the ESB suit, or at least the INTENDED ESB helmet was stolen as well as the jet pack. I do not know if the rest of the suit was stolen or not, but at least the helmet and the jet pack have resurfaced.
The story about how the helmet resurfaced is an interesting one. The helmet was brought to a popular auction house with hopes of being sold for approx $80k. However, the auction house looked into the background of this particular piece and was told by Gary Kurtz (I think it was Kurtz, but it might have been Johnston... it has been a while) that it was indeed a helmet that had been stolen. I find it a bit difficult to believe that Kurtz would remember THAT helmet in particular, but regardless, however it got there, it was in private hands. Fortunately for us, a close friend was able to take a number of photos of the helmet which sadly was in VERY bad shape. This friend is NOT a member of this board and it makes me very sad to hear that someone here on this board is claiming to have taken these pics themselves. Why people can't simply stand on their own merits, talent and skill instead of lying and sucking off the effort of others like vultures, is beyond me. Anyway, while this friend had initially asked that these images not be shared, due to the dishonesty of others, he has now said that I can share these with everyone! So, I guess something good has come from this bad situation.
This helmet was bought directly by a high end collector in CA who also has the jet pack. This is the only hero helmet and hero jet pack that we know to be in private hands.
On a final note, I want to remind everyone that Rogue Studios' plug is a first generation casting of this helmet. Sadly you can see where the helmet was cut from the mold by careless people at Don Post... the two long scratches on the dome.
Enjoy and share as you would like... just don't take credit for them! BTW, I think there is a LOT to be learned from these pics in regard to helmet build and assembly, so go for it!
PS. I will not comment further on the situation that made this come about. I have said my piece and that is all I will say about it.

UPDATED: Accident cleared on Route 82 in Salem
Salem — Traffic is moving again on Route 82 after a car hit and knocked down an utility pole early this morning.
The roadway east of the Salem Four Corners on Route 82 to Harris Road was closed as emergency personnel cleared the scene.
A school bus carrying high school students turned onto Clark Lane in an effort to avoid the traffic congestion, but struck a stonewall, a fire official said. Students were subsequently loaded onto another bus.
No injuries were reported in either accident. The accident was reported around 7:00 a.m.
Superintendent of Schools Joseph Onofrio II could not be reached for comment.

After doing some searching here it seems Palmetto State Armory and JSE have the best prices on AR parts but it's frustrating when you go there they don't have many parts in stock. The AR building is all new to me so how long do they take to restock anyway? Are there any other suppliers that have decent prices and items in stock?
Thanks in advance.

Anyone.. ANYONE.. have a recipe for hevi-shot in 12 gauge using a cheddite primer (or win 209) and steel powder? I have some old hevi-shot shells and they are duds. They lost all their buffer and don't have enough compression to shoot correctly anymore. So I'm just going to reload them. They were rem #2's but I dumped them out and separated the shot and got about half #4 and half #2 with two shells worth of #6. I have roughly 30 1 1/4 shells to reload.
So I plan to load the 4's and 6's for ducks and the 2's for geese or just shoot them at late season mallards to use them up if I don't get out for geese this year.
Looking for something around the 1 1/8 to 1 1/4oz range. 2.75 or 3" doesnt matter. Hull, wad, does not matter to me. I'll order what I need. More cost effective to order the components for a handful of shells than to buy new hevi-shot!
My preference would be a 2.75" 1 1/8 recipe using a rem or AA hull. Don't need crazy speed. 1300fps would be more than enough.
So someone, lay a recipe on me!

Sunday, May 15, 2011, 09:09 PMAs we have been periodically reminded since mid-March, plutonium, strontium 90, and radioactive iodine (131-I) have been spreading from the melting Fukushima nuclear reactors and reaching cities throughout the US. Radioactive elements can harm life forms by causing cells and their DNA to mutate. Many have been directly linked to various forms of cancer. The Fukushima disaster has the potential to harm people throughout the world through exposure to radiation. The good news is that there are simple nutritional steps you can take to protect yourself.

Doctors James and Phyllis Balch write in Prescription for Nutritional Healing,
Radioactive elements are structurally similar to their nonradioactive counterparts, differing only in the number of neutrons the atoms contain. This is why nutrition is important in preventing or blocking damage from exposure to radioactive elements. If you do not obtain sufficient amounts of calcium, potassium, and other minerals in your diet, your body may absorb radioactive elements that are similar in structure to these nutrients. For example, if you do not obtain enough calcium, your body will absorb radioactive strontium 90 or other elements that are similar in structure to calcium, if they are available. Similarly, if you obtain sufficient potassium from your diet, your body will be less likely to retain any radioactive cesium 137 it encounters, as this element is similar to potassium. If the cells are able to obtain all nutrients they need from your diet, they will be less likely to avsorb radioactive substitutes, which are then more likely to be discarded from the body.
Some of the Balchs' top recommendations include daily intake of calcium and magnesium (2-1 ratio in mg's between these), kelp (great source of minerals including iodine), coenzyme Q10, vitamin C, apple pectin, and various antioxidants. Calcium/magnesium and iodine supplementation avoid uptake of similar radioactive elements, as does consuming your daily value of potassium. Apple pectin bonds with strontium 90 and removes it from the body.
I am keeping up with my calcium, magnesium, kelp, co-Q10, and usual attention to antioxidants, as these are easy steps for me to protect myself from the effects of radiation that I may be exposed to due to the Fukushima disaster. Being attentive to your intake of calcium/magnesium, iodine, potassium, and antioxidants is a small step you can take to protect yourself from what we hope are only small levels of radioactive exposure. Let's also hope that Japan and the other affected governments give us more information in the near future about how much radiation we are actually talking about. The figures we are aware of are still primarily limited to isolated independent studies.

Alexa Wnorowski is a rising senior in Biological Engineering studying at Cornell University. Her summer REU at Johns Hopkins University involved studying the blood brain barrier in the materials science and engineering laboratory of Peter Searson. Searson directs the Institute for NanoBioTechnology that hosts the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU).
"The goal is to figure out how to move drugs across this tight junction of cells that protects the brain," Alexa explained. Alexa used a four-channel microfluidic device fabricated in the Searson lab.
"Each channel has a slightly different shear stress because it has a slightly different height," she explained. "We seed a culture of cells at the bottom of the channel and let them grow so that they are confluent. Then we run media through the device and we see how the different shear stresses affects proliferation of the cells."
Although she conducted research before, Alexa said she had never worked with microfluidic devices before. She said to gain a broader perspective on research, it's important to work in several different laboratories. "Every lab is run in different ways and have very different atmospheres, " she said. "This experience has shown me how research in conducted in different labs."
Alexa's goal is to earn a PhD in biomedical engineering.

A. Alfred Taubman Gift for Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights to WSU Law School is largest in School's History
* Please note that the below release is dated and building and programming specifications for the Damon J. Keith Center may have changed since it was written. Please contact Mary Hollens, Senior Director of Development and Alumni Relations at (313) 577-4141 or email@example.com with questions.
Industrialist and philanthropist A. Alfred Taubman has donated $3 million to Wayne State University Law School, the largest single gift to the School in its history. The gift, announced last week, was made in honor of Judge Damon J. Keith, U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit. Judge Keith is a Law School alumnus, having received his LL.M. in 1956.
The gift will be used for the Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights, which is currently in the architectural planning phase. The new structure will replace the School's existing classroom building, which was built in the 1960s. In addition to classrooms, the building will house offices, meeting areas, and an auditorium, all with the latest technology, including a wireless environment.
The Center for Civil Rights, which will be housed in the Keith Building, will showcase parts of the Damon J. Keith Law Collection of African American Legal History, established in 1999, as well as the nationally acclaimed Marching Toward Justice exhibit, which traces the history of the 14th Amendment, and the Saluting a Giant exhibit, which honors the career of Judge Damon J. Keith. The Center will also host events on the topics of public policy, urban renewal, and racial justice.
"We are pleased and proud that the planned new Center at our Law School will be named after distinguished Detroit citizen and federal judge Damon J. Keith and that his longtime friend and civic booster Al Taubman is partnering with us in making this important project a reality," said WSU President Irvin D. Reid. The gift is part of Wayne State University's capital campaign, Wayne First! The campaign was publicly launched in May, 2005.
Damon J. Keith and Alfred Taubman have been friends for over two decades, and have collaborated on several previous projects, including the bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution. The gift to the Law School combines Taubman's vision for the revitalization of the city of Detroit with Keith's passion for civil rights, according to Law School Dean Frank H. Wu. "This gift will help the Law School move from a local and regionally recognized name, to the national level, both academically and in our programming as we contribute to a diverse democracy," continued Wu.
Wayne State University Law School was founded in 1927 as Detroit City Law School, and is the only public urban law school in the Detroit metropolitan area.

text: IRR International Reagent Resource (IRR) was established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to provide registered users with reagents, tools and information for studying and detection of Influenza Virus. The IRR acquires, authenticates, and produces reagents that scientists need to carry out basic research and develop improved diagnostic tests, vaccines, and detection methods. Public health labs also use the reagents across the globe for the surveillance of newly emerging strains of Influenza, such as Influenza (H1N1) and (H5N1). By centralizing these functions within the IRR, access to and use of these materials in the scientific and public health community is monitored and quality control of the reagents is assured. The International Reagent Resource is managed under contract by American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). A one-year contract with nine option years to manage IRR was awarded to ATCC in September 2008.

Please help me find a first name to go with mn Elise
Hi Everyone,
We are expecting our 2nd daughter in Sept. and, while we've already decided on a middle name (Elise, to honor a favorite aunt) we cannot come up with a first name that we can both agree on. We can definitely can agree what we don't want, though: Nothing unisex, trendy, in the top 10 (even better if its out of the top 20, as our last name is incredibly common), and something that matches big sister Mia's name (popular now, but she's 10 and it wasn't nearly as popular back then). If we could avoid names that lend themselves to nicknames, that would be great, but that's not a dealbreaker. We do have 3 on our 'maybe' list (Cara, Brooke & Jocelyn, to maybe give you a better idea of what we're looking for), but I'm not sure if any of those 3 are THE ONE and I'd really like to have another couple of options to take into the delivery room with me.
So, its kind of a fussy, tall order, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated b/c I've gotten to the point where I feel like I'm reading the same names over and over and over again when I search the internet or pour through books.
Thanks so much!!

Doc Watson
Original name: Arthel Lane Watson
Mar. 3, 1923
Deep Gap
Watauga County
North Carolina, USA
May 29, 2012
Forsyth County
North Carolina, USA
Country and Western, Bluegrass, Gospel, and Folk Musician. An eye infection caused him to lose his vision before his first birthday. Despite his blindness, his parents taught him to work hard and be self-sufficient. He attended North Carolina's school for the visually impaired, The Governor Moorehead School, in Raleigh NC. Growing up, he learned to play the guitar and performed on the local street corners with his older brother. By the time he became an adult, he had become a proficient acoustic and electric guitar player, as well as the banjo. According to him, he received his nickname "Doc" during a live radio broadcast when the announcer remarked that his given name, Arthel, was odd and that he needed an easy nickname to go by. Someone in the audience shouted "Call him Doc!" presumably in reference to fictional detective Sherlock Holmes' assistant, Doctor Watson, and the name stuck with him. In 1953, he joined the Johnson City TN-based Jack Williams' country and western swing band on electric guitar. Because the band rarely had a fiddle player and was often requested to play for square dancers, he taught himself to play fiddle tunes on his electric guitar. He later transferred the technique to the acoustic guitar, and playing fiddle tunes became part of his unique signature sound. In 1960, as America revived its interest in folk music, he began playing the acoustic guitar and banjo exclusively. His musical career ignited when he played on his first recording "Old Time Music at Clarence Ashley's." He began to tour as a solo performer and appeared at universities and clubs like The Ash Grove in Los Angeles CA. In 1963, he received his big break along with rave reviews for his performance at the renowned Newport Folk Festival. He recorded his first solo album in 1964 and started performing with his son Merle the same year. They toured and recorded together until 1985 when Merle was tragically killed in a farming accident. After the folk revival waned in the late 1960s, his career was sustained by his performance of "Tennessee Stud" on the 1992 live album recording "Will the Circle Be Unbroken." He toured the world during the late 1970s and early 1980s, and recorded over fifty albums between 1963 and 2006. In 1986 he received the North Carolina Award and in 1994 he received a North Carolina Folk Heritage Award. Also in 1994, he teamed up with Randy and Earl Scruggs to contribute "Keep on the Sunny Side" to the AIDS benefit album "Red Hot + Country." In 2000, he was inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Honor. In 1997, he received the National Medal of Arts from President Bill Clinton. He also won seven Grammy awards during his career for ethnic, folk, and country recordings. He was also known for Merlefest, which was an annual gathering of musicians in Wilkesboro NC, named in memory of his son. A sculpture of him playing his guitar on a park bench sits at the corner of King and Depot Streets in Boone NC. The plaque on the bench reads: "Just One of the People."

The Tony Hawk series has had a bumpy ride lately. Although I noted my small affinity towards Shred in my Quest to beat every Tony Hawk game ever this year, it was too little too late: Activision had lost most of its market and former fans had become jaded.
Tony Hawk HD was an attempt to rekindle the love for said franchise, and I'd say they only partially succeeded. Although "HD" does recapture a lot of what made the series great in the first place, a lot of people outright didn't like the lack of levels, the glitches, and how different the physics system was: all valid complaints.
But where Activision nearly lost everyone entirely was the way they handled the first, and only announced DLC pack. First, it was supposed to offer reverts only in the three scant levels the pack offered.
Then it was delayed for months on end, with little to no feedback on when it would actually be released. Then reverts were suddenly patched into every level in the game, and now, we're ready to see what Robomodo has been working on all this time.... read more

City Slickers Archery Help?
I am a twenty year old college football player who has lived in the New England area for my entire life. I just made a website that teaches people who want to get involved in bow hunting. I have some ideas, like I wanted to sell the hand carved longbows I made for really cheap, (because we all know how expensive a longbow can be, I wanted people to be able to buy a bow for less money so they can get started, instead of buying one for like $300 or $200) on the website. I have hunting stories, all the equipment and explanations of the equipment and terms needed to get started. Please check out the website and let me know what you think. My website is, Cityslickersarchery.com. Please, I would really appreciated feedback on what I could improve. Thank you.

Hey, again, I have been getting some GREAT advice from members through private messages and I thank all of you! Some of you have messaged me and said some pretty nasty stuff saying that this was a spam attempt. And I apologize to all of you that believed that! In no means do I intend for that! I appreciate everyones input. To let you know I will explain what my website is about so you have a clearer sense and what I plan to do to improve my website.
This website, which I have been in the process of making for the past 2 years is a website intended for people who want to get involved and know where to start in the sport of archery or bowhunting. I explain the terms and lingo of archery and all of the techniques and equipment used in archery and bowhunting. I go through everything from what a draw length and weight is, to odor control.
Now what I plan to do, Hopefully, between my school work and football in college, I will be able to add my homemade longbows, for cheap, to the website because we all know how expensive longbows can be. I was planning on selling them for around $100- $150 per bow. However, I am afraid that if people who are new to the sport see this on the site will be scared away that all of the information is just B.S and I would want them to just buy the bows and not read the information. Also, I plan to take different kinds of game, such as whitetail deer, turkey, hogs and elk and put diagrams on where to shoot and techniques used specifically for that animal.
Thank you and I am anxiously awaiting any advice that any of you can help me.
My website is Cityslickersarchery.comhttp://www.cityslickersarchery.com
Thank you

Making this coleslaw is a good way to use the extra cabbage, carrots and green peppers from your garden. It's also handy for big get-togethers.
Recommended: 70 Summer Recipes to Pack in Your Picnic Basket
- 1 medium head cabbage, shredded (about 10 cups)
- 1 carrot, shredded
- 1 green pepper, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup vinegar
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon celery seed

- In a large bowl, combine vegetables with salt; let stand 1 hour. Place remaining ingredients in a saucepan; bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute. Cool.

"I give my 90 year old aunt all my Taste of Home magazines when I am through with them. She found this recipe and made it with a head of cabbage I had grown. The coleslaw turned out to be a real hit with the whole family at our yearly gathering in the fall. Very GOOD!"
