Dole Fresh Vegetables is recalling baby spinach sold in 10 states after a random sample tested positive for salmonella.
The products being recalled are 6-ounce Dole Baby Spinach bag and 10-ounce Dole Baby Spinach clamshell.
Salmonella is an organism that can sicken people who eat food contaminated with it. Only the specific Baby Spinach products listed, with the exact Lot codes, UPC codes and Use-by dates identified above, are included in the recall. Most healthy adults and children rarely become seriously ill after exposure to salmonella.
The affected cases of baby spinach were sold at stores in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
They were sold in several states, including OH, however, the product is expired and would no longer be on store shelves.
Both have a "use-by-date" of August 5, 2019.
One stabbed in central Sydney street attack
But he did not appear to be acting for any terrorist groups and the attack was not being treated as terrorism, police added. Along with other passers-by, they used a milk crate and a chair to keep him pinned to the ground, he said.
Consumers with this product should throw them away. Customers with questions can call the Dole Customer Center at 1-800-356-3111.
Officials say no illnesses have been reported in association with the recall. How do I know I have salmonella versus some other gastrointestinal condition?
The illness primarily impacts young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
An estimated 1.2 million illnesses in the United States are caused by salmonella every year, including 23,000 hospitalizations and 450 deaths.
Symptoms include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps.
Symptoms usually start within six hours to four days after getting infected and usually last up to seven days.

I'm already starting to feel like I've had enough of this experiment.
Despite this, she still seems keen to flirt with me.
In order to fit in with the general ethos of the website I have invented a wife.
Our relationship, I note, has suffered because we don't spend enough time together (not surprising really, since she doesn't exist).
What I don't know is how her husband will feel about it. Aside from the little matter of her marital status, she also believes I have a wife, but she doesn't care.
She wants instant gratification even though we've exchanged only a few words online.

Market Recap:
The beginning of 2016 was plagued by concerns that the bull market was coming to an end and that the U.S. might be heading toward a recession. Connected with this were concerns surrounding: the U.S. labor market, economic growth in China, continuing volatility in oil prices, and a rising U.S. dollar. As a result, equity markets responded negatively in January and February. In March, central banks responded to investors' geopolitical concerns. The Federal Reserve Bank (Fed) lowered its median projected expectation of further rate hikes in 2016. Instead of four rate hikes as originally projected, the dot plot now suggests two. In an effort to increase inflation, the European Central Bank (ECB) instituted a significant monetary easing package. Under this new monetary policy, qualifying banks are permitted to borrow money at negative interest rates. Essentially, the ECB will be paying banks to lend money to the broader economy.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2016, domestic equities had outperformed global equities as measured by the S&P 500 (+1.4%) and MSCI ACWI ex U.S. (-0.3%) respectively. Fixed income assets had a strong quarter. Notably, global government bonds ended the quarter up, over 7% as measured by the Citi WGBI. Elsewhere in fixed income, returns were strong for emerging market sovereign debt, global high-yield, U.S. bonds, and TIPS. Infrastructure assets ended the quarter down (-5.7%) as measured by the Alerian MLP Infrastructure Index. REITs continued their strong performance from 2015 as demand continued to outweigh supply in many major hubs.
Volatility is likely to remain both persistent and elevated as we move into the second quarter of 2016. This is highlighted by little stability in correlations between stocks and bonds. While risk remained high, our measures of Risk Concentration declined slightly towards the end of March. Given the uncertainty and instability in the markets, we will continue to favor fixed income exposure over riskier assets. Within fixed income, we favor U.S. short-duration debt over intermediate and long-duration debt. We still see heightened levels of long-term interest rate risk and expect increased downside correlations amongst equities, REITs, and commodities.

James E. Hudson, Jr., "Jimmy" 57, of Warwick, passed away on Saturday, December 14, 2019 at Kent Hospital. The world lost a truly great man. Born in Providence, James was the son of the late James E. and Edna (Mosley) Hudson, Sr.
James is survived by his daughter, Cherelle Monhollen, a grandaughter, Harper Monhollen, as well as his two sisters, Debora A. O'Connor and Donna L. St. Angelo, a niece, Christina O'Connor, and his beloved dog, Tiger.
Although Jimmy lived a majority of this life plagued with various illnesses, he never let these obstacles deter him from what meant most to him; his family. Until his last moments, he was surrounded by those who loved him for the caring person he was. His passing provides him with an opportunity he would commonly discuss, the opportunity to fish once again with his father, James Sr., and brother-in-law, Tim.

text: Facebook Tweet Help Stories New Home , Interiors Off the edge Queenstown glass pavilion Share Tweet Help Julian McPike house in Queenstown This glass-walled house, known as Jagged Edge, appears to emerge directly from the rock face on a mountain high above Lake Wakatipu. Jagged Edge takes the form of a large glass pavilion, supported from above by steel bars. A steel portal leads out to a cantilevered terrace and an elevated heated pool. When the pool is not in use, the water level is automatically lowered by 170mm to allow a pool cover to slide across. There can be no competition when it comes to the sheer grandeur of the Remarkables, the awe-inspiring mountain range set against the sparkling blue waters of Lake Wakatipu. But a new house in Queenstown challenges every preconceived notion of alpine architecture.Jagged Edge defies convention there are no gabled rooflines, and there is no framing of the view from a house nestled back into the hillside. Rather, the house steps forward to become an intrinsic part of the view. With fully glazed walls soaring to a height of 9.2m at the sharp end, it is possible to see straight through the house, which at times makes it near invisible, says owner-developer Julian McPike."It is difficult to see the house from the other side of the lake," he says. "The glass blends in with the trees and the mountains and the building simply vanishes from sight."The pyramid form of the glass pavilion echoes the fractured nature of the mountain peaks a feat only made possible by the tension structure. Ten steel roof bars that resemble cables connect to six 20m-long rock anchors to support the building, which is exposed and consequently subject to a high wind loading.A steel portal at the front of the pavilion is also instrumental in carrying the load of the facade. The portal frames an opening out to a cantilevered terrace and an elevated infinity pool lined with stainless steel.But it is the height of the glazing, and the angled prow of the building that creates the real drama on the inside."The glass walls rise so high that they dwarf everyone inside," says McPike. "Standing beneath the soaring ceiling is a little like being dwarfed by the enormity of the mountains themselves." To maximise a spectacular lake and mountain view, the interior of this hilltop house is open plan even the suspended mezzanine bedrooms are open to the floor below. Custom-designed pendant lights fill the void without providing a distraction. The house, in Queenstown, was developed by Julian McPike. "Because the ceiling rises to such a height, there is an uninterrupted view of the tops of the peaks, even from the back of the living area."To ensure all rooms maximise the view, the house is almost entirely open plan. Living areas are on the ground floor and bedrooms are on a mezzanine suspended within the pavilion this entire floor is supported by the roof and a central double-column structure."The living area is also essentially a timber platform floating between the glass walls," says McPike. "The effect is amplified at night by lights on the floor around the perimeter of the space. Premium hardwood in a light shade without any knots was chosen to enhance the pale, clean-lined look."McPike also chose to let the view speak for itself there are no artworks to detract from the outlook, apart from a large, illuminated glass sculpture beside the stairwell. To reinforce the pared-back architecture, an island bar unit is raised from beneath the floor when required.A white-lacquered kitchen, with tall black cabinets either side, is positioned at the rear of the living space. With a large island and bar stools, it is designed for easy entertaining. The house also has a subterranean wine cellar carved out of the rock a natural, textural antithesis of the sleek glass and steel.Mezzanine bedrooms are symmetrically positioned either side of the central axis, and all have views. A small reading room between the master suite and second bedroom affords a view right through the two structural columns in the centre of the house. Even in the minimalist bathrooms the emphasis is on the outlook the tub in the master suite is aligned with the view.Comfort is also assured, along with energy savings, despite the massive mount of glazing. Bedrooms in this hilltop house in Queenstown are floating platforms within a glass pavilion. The master suite has views in two directions. McPike says temperature changes are scarcely noticeable inside, as the walls feature 22mm-thick structural glass, comprised of a laminate sandwiched between two 10mm panes. The insulation is greater than a standard residential system, and there is also a low-e coating on the glass that increases the r value."Sunshades are provided at the rear of the house only, but because the house faces south, the direct sunlight does not pose too much of a problem. And the air conditioning is seldom used in summer, with passive cooling provided by cross ventilation."To save even more energy, the house is fully wired as a smart home, with an occupied and unoccupied mode. With the latter, the water heating is shut off and the house goes into stand-by mode, says McPike."The house monitors itself, ensuring the temperature inside remains between 10°C and 30°C. This safeguards materials and furnishings from the temperature extremes of the climate."The landscaping was also designed with the environment in mind. Schist walls and native plants help to ensure that the house, although distinctive, blends with the natural landscape.

If you are weighing up the installation costs of double-glazing, then it's important to know that it is a long-term investment. By fitting your home with double-glazed windows, you are securing your home's value for the long-run.
Modern windows ensure that your home is secure, warm and sound-proof, which will instantly boost its kerb appeal. It really helps to understand Double Glazing installation costs to really understand the value of what you're purchasing.
One of the biggest barriers to installing double-glazed window is the anxiety around the cost. In order to save up for this investment, it helps to know just how much they will cost & understand how they work.
The total cost
The total cost of your project will depend on the number of windows you have, the size of those windows and the cost according to the region you live in.
However, when it comes to the size of your property, the maths is pretty straightforward. For example, if you live an apartment, replacing your windows could cost anything from over £1,500 to well over £2,500.
If you live in a two-story home, the cost will be roughly double that amount. For a full house, fitted with white uPVC windows (at an average size), you can expect to pay around the region of £4,500.
Per window
It's hard to give an exact figure on the cost of your uPVC windows, as this will depend entirely on their size.
However, for 1m x 1m window, you can expect to pay around £300. Per window, it can cost as little as just over £200 for an even smaller window. The cost of this will go up depending on:
- The size of the window
- The material of the frame
- The area of the country you live in
- The colour you choose
Increased prices
As mentioned, the most cost-effective way to install double-glazing is by purchasing uPVC windows. If you're looking at other materials, you can expect the price to go up somewhat.
Products such as aluminium and wood are far more difficult to manufacture, which means they will be more expensive to invest in.
For example, one tilt and turn window made from white uPVC will cost around £240. Incredibly, by just changing the material to wood this cost will go up to a whopping £800.
Within wood, you have a number of different categories, with softwood being the cheapest material to work with. However, this is not always an ideal product to choose, particularly in cold and wet climates – as we have in Britain.
It will require a lot of maintenance, which just adds more cost down the road; so that £800 may not be the last you pay. So for those that live near the sea, where the weather is worse, and maintenance would be higher, a different material would be more beneficial.
The price you pay for a double-glazing installation is not just for the windows. You are paying for labour costs and other building materials.
The best way to know exactly how much you will pay for a fully-fitted home with double-glazing is to contact the double-glazing installers for a quote. This way, you can get a reasonable estimate based on the actual project in hand.

Iconic Vegemite now Officially Vegan by changing…Nothing At All
Vegan Certification to coincide with World Vegan Day
Vegemite, the Australian version of Marmite, is beloved by many Aussies. The spread contains no animal products of any kind – hence the use of "Vege" in the branding. Always a vegan product, it is now officially so thanks to a certification now given by Vegan Australia announced as part of World Vegan Day.
So it has achieved the certification by "doing absolutely nothing" to its recipe.
The iconic brand has confirmed that the logo will start to roll out on its jars in the next few months.
Vegemite senior marketing manager Matt Grey said: "to keep Vegemite relevant today, it needs to appeal to all Australians".
The brand can now drill further into the vegan/vegetarian diet that is spreading throughout Australia. It is estimated that there are 500,000 vegans in Australia and a further 2.5 million vegetarians, which is an increase of 300,000 vegetarians since 2014.
Certification gives vegans added confidence
There has been a mixed reaction from the public. To some, the re-packaging is somewhat unnecessary. To others, it will be reassuring to be certain that every ingredient is animal-free. What is beyond doubt, is that to join the vegan trend Vegemite is proudly being seen to join Team Vegan.
Vegan Australia welcomed the approach by Vegemite as it does from any product brand even if the products are assumed to be vegan. It has a strict certification process to ensure that a product does not contain a single ingredient which is derived from animals and that no testing on animals has been involved in the process. This certification was probably the easiest it has ever had to consider.
By way of interest Vegemite which is rich in B vitamins is also halal but not gluten-free. There is a newly launched gluten-free option.

We hope you are safe and healthy through this global pandemic. The international crisis that is COVID-19 has impacted everyone in such a short period of time and we send our love and best wishes to our surrounding community and the rest of the world. Throughout this crisis, on top of your own responsibilities, we ask that you remember Downtown Frostburg small businesses!
Small business owners are only a small sector of society that have been impacted by COVID-19 related closures, but the impact the crisis has had on their passion and their business model is incredibly daunting. Although all business and economic stimulation is a positive thing, small businesses offer a crucial aid to local, state, and the national economies.
Did you know that for every $100 you spend at a local business, an extra 25% of that money is kept within the community? That's $68 to the local community versus $43 per every $100 spent! And through shopping at local businesses, you also support the local services, like accounting, marketing, and supplying that these business owners employ to help manage their business; whereas corporate businesses employ large marketing firms, build their own international supply chains, and have their own incorporated financial advisers.
Local retailers also offer a wider variety of products than found in bigger shops and offer finds so unique you may not even be able to find them on traditional corporate shelves. Creative minds and entrepreneurs are the kinds of people who built the nation, so why not support those kinds of people who reside near your home?
As for creating jobs, small business takes the cake. In 2017, small businesses employed nearly 80 million Americans, with every $10 million spent at local businesses creating 57 jobs versus 14 jobs at large corporations. Because of the jobs that small businesses offer, neighborhoods with successful downtown districts can see an increase in home value by 50% which in turn mills tax revenue from new residents to use for community infrastructure like schools and public safety.
Shop local. Never stop supporting local businesses. In trying times like these when you may feel unable to help from your home, the answer simply is: you still can, and pretty easily. Many of Downtown Frostburg's businesses are tirelessly working to provide you with delivery services, online shopping options, and updates, classes, and tutorials on their social medias.
Also, purchase gift cards! Many of our business members already offered options for purchasing gift cards and they, with our help, are working to continue these services and to find ways to offer more!
You can look to our social media and here on our website for more updates regarding how COVID-19 is impacting our community and how you can continue to support local small business!

Rwandans have moved beyond mere survival and are now more determined than ever to pursue a prosperous and dignified future, President Paul Kagame has said.
Kagame was on Wednesday giving a keynote speech at a major conference in Los Angeles, California in the United States, which attracted leaders from both the private and public sectors.
"Twenty years ago we sank to the very bottom; observers considered Rwanda a failed state and predicted it would remain so. For people of Rwanda, that was not an option.
"We had to move upwards and do it together. It's about restoring life, hope and dignity of our people," the President told his audience, according to a statement from the President's office.
In 1994, Rwanda suffered one of the worst genocides in human history, losing more than a million of its people in the process.
The annual summit, dubbed the Los Angeles World Affairs Council, was initiated in 1953 with the objective of presenting speakers to "help Americans better understand the outside world and America's role on the global stage".
Stressing Rwanda's commitment to draw from its own context to provide solutions to its challenges, President Kagame shared the example of the Gacaca justice system. "In ten years, Gacaca tried two million cases for less than one billion dollars. The UN funded International Criminal Tribunal (for Rwanda) tried 60 cases in 19 years at a cost of two billion dollars."
The keynote speech was followed by an interactive session where topics discussed included Rwanda's vision for the future and peace and security in the region.
President Kagame cited prosperity, stability and peace and security as top priorities for Rwanda's future. "When we look around the world, in some places prosperity has been taken for granted. The question is why shouldn't this be possible for others? We believe it is possible for Rwanda and Africa."
The Head of State also emphasised the importance of regional integration and continental cooperation. "I don't think of Rwanda out of the African context. Rwanda is not and cannot be an island. I wish for the rest of Africa what I wish for my country."
Earlier in the day, Kagame toured the Shoah Foundation where 50, 000 testimonies of genocide survivors are preserved, including testimonies of survivors of the Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda.
Prior to addressing the Los Angeles World Affairs Council, President Kagame also held an interactive session with over 40 high school students.
The President was expected to continue his tour of California in San Francisco where he will be addressing the Wisdom 2.0 Conference on the socio-economic transformation of Rwanda, his office said.
The conference was expected to attract over 2000 leaders in several fields, including technology to politics, media and private sector to discuss the role of technology in transforming lives.

Dave Hoops column: What's to explain the blossoming beer business?
DULUTH — Beer is fun and comfortable, and I love to talk about it.
I just returned to Duluth after spending a few days in Denver judging beer at the Great American Beer Festival, the largest beer competition in the world. An award from there is, as I like to say, the equivalent of receiving an Academy Award for brewers.
Our region was well represented. Earth Rider Brewery won a gold medal for its Duluth Coffee Company Pale Ale, as well as Ursa Minor Brewing's Scotch Ale winning a bronze. Only four brewers in Minnesota won medals in this competition (pretty awesome for the Twin Ports). With more than 9,500 entries, this is not really surprising. This fact got me thinking about just how big of a deal beer and small breweries have become in the United States.
When I moved to Minnesota in 1999, there were four or five breweries selling beer. Now there are almost 200. In the Denver city limits alone, there are more than 80. Consider these numbers with the fact that there are more than 120 different styles. The numbers don't lie — it's the greatest time in history to be a beer drinker.
Almost everyone I speak with has an opinion about how we have arrived at this point. Is it the never-before-offered ingredients, the hundreds of brands on the shelf, the media covering beer like never before? It could be, but often I find myself thinking about you, the reader and beer drinker. It seems lost in the hyperbole that beer consumers have changed dramatically in the past 10 years. Younger people have embraced beer; women's purchase percentages have risen, and with more styles being offered, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Six-Pack have been able to purchase beers locally made that fit into the national brand profiles that may have been their go-tos in the past.
Beer drinkers are interested in learning about styles and quality as never before. I know from personal experience with many years behind the bar at craft breweries that the questions and conversations have evolved greatly. And what's great about that? The thirst for better and better beer is alive and well. Folks have many choices, and beer has always (for hundreds of years at least) been here and continues to expand and entice.
I, for one, am very excited about the next 10 years in beer. I usually save my predictions for the January column each year but a few teasers:
• Beer laws in Minnesota will continue to move toward the status quo in other states.
• New styles and lower alcohol offerings will continue to grow.
• Breweries will help to recharge and excite communities through collaboration, family friendly experiences and civic support at a never-before-seen level.
This next point is a fun one. In Duluth, the partnerships between small businesses in many categories, such as small plate food pop-ups, bakers, fruit growers, coffee roasters, silkscreen and signage companies, local musicians and events are the norm for local breweries, cideries and distillers. This integration and collaboration among local businesses is exciting and fun — a great part of our community.
As we move forward, sustainability will become one of our big challenges, with human resources and changing customer habits. I hope brewers can continue to up the bar on the experience, quality, variety and the continued promise of now and the future being the best time in history to be a beer drinker.
I want to thank you all for the notes and emails that I've been sent with your comments and thoughts.
Please weigh in with any questions or thoughts about the growth of beer.

Hi All,
I am an artist ( oil and pastels) by trade so the coloring of artisan chocolates really appeals to me. I was wondering if I could make my own colored cocoa butter using oil candy colors and cocoa butter, or is there more involved.
Also, if I add the oil candy color to white chocolate will it affect the temper?

Beautiful day chocolate friends.
I'm brand new here on the forum. Almost two years ago, I started making pralines in the Czech Republic. There are not many manufacturers and not at all those who work by hand. I have a big problem with cleaning the molds. I like to work cleanly, so I absolutely clean and polish alcohol before each batch of molds. I use my little helper for this - an accumulation screwdriver with an extension, which I made from a wine cork - it works perfectly. I apply clean make-up tampons and possibly alcohol to it.
But now I have a lot of molds and manual cleaning is crazy. I bought an older dishwasher in a restaurant and I can't find a product (soap, detergent) that would well remove the remnants of chocolate from the sides of the molds and at the same time, of course, would not destroy the molds? Does anyone have any type or advice for any other cleaning machine, please?
I bought a special product "Brillform", which is intended for rinsing already washed molds - it should ensure shine without polishing each tube, but first I have to get the chocolate away.
Here is a link to my website and instagram, you can look at my work and I will be very happy and grateful for any advice and warnings on what I could improve, because there is no professional in the Czech Republic focused on pralines, so there is no one to learn from I teach myself by rehearsing and from great books, videos and watching the world's chocolatiers.
Thank you again

The Red Leather Diary: Reclaiming a Life Through the Pages of a Lost Journal (Paperback)
"A world straight from the pages of an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel. . . . An extraordinary story about coming of age, following your dreams and discovering (or rediscovering) who you are, were and want to be." — Parade
Rescued from a Dumpster on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, a discarded diary brings to life the glamorous, forgotten world of an extraordinary young woman
Opening the tarnished brass lock of a red leather diary found in the basement of a New York City apartment building, New York Times writer Lily Koppel embarked on a journey into the past. Compelled by the hopes and heartaches captured in the pages, Koppel set out to find the diary's owner, a 90-year old woman named Florence. Eventually reunited with her diary, Florence ventured back to the girl she once was, rediscovering a lost self that burned with artistic fervor.
Joining intimate interviews with original diary entries, The Red Leather Diary is an evocative and entrancing work that recreates the romance and glitter, sophistication and promise, of 1930s New York, bringing to life the true story of a precocious young woman who dared to follow her dreams.
About the Author
Lily Koppel writes for the New York Times and other publications. She lives in New York City.
Praise For…
"Skillful reporting, fine prose and [an] excellent eye for period detail. . . . A story about not one but two lovable characters—and the city that brought them together."
— New York Times Book Review
"A novelistic biography. . . . Conjures up a romantic version of the Manhattan of Howitt's youth."
— Washington Post Book World
"A world straight from the pages of an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel. . . . The Red Leather Diary is Koppel's tribute to both the tempestuous girl she came to know on paper and the older, more even-tempered women she grew to love in real life. It's an extraordinary story about coming of age, following your dreams and discovering (or rediscovering) who you are, were and want to be."
— Parade
"Florence's life reads like E.L. Doctorow's Ragtime in places, with all the famous paths crossed and situations experienced; while descriptions of city life recall Marjorie Hart's Summer at Tiffany... Together, Koppel and Florence take readers through a world dizzy with new ideas, rhythms and inventions."
— BookPage
"After a front-page story appeared in the New York Times Sunday City section, interest in Florence's fascinating story prompted the author to write a full-length book that works as both a biography and a spellbinding glimpse into a vanished era."
— Booklist
"Koppel's love of New York is obvious in the details she draws from Florence's diary, which show how the city has changed in ways both big and small. An entertaining and enjoyable work."
— Library Journal
"In The Red Leather Diary, Lily Koppel finds an old journal in a Dumpster, gets lost in its rich take on 1930s New York and, improbably, tracks down the now-90-year-old woman whose life—real and imagined—fills its worn pages."
— Reader's Digest (Editors' Choice)
"New York Times writer Lily Koppel's The Red Leather Diary melds three life-affirming subjects—Florence Wolfson's journal of life in 1930s Manhattan, Koppel's discovery of it in a Dumpster decades later, and the meeting of the two women—into one enchanting memoir."
— Elle
"Sparked by a felicitous discovery in an Upper West Side dumpster, New York Times writer Lily Koppel spins an enthralling true fairy tale about a Depression-era ingénue."
— Vogue
"A fascinating book—inventive and inspiring."
— Erica Jong, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Fear of Flying

California Riding Magazine • August, 2014
Custom Saddlery
California is the seat of an ever-growing saddle empire.

Custom Saddlery is literally everywhere. American riders from coast to coast have sworn their loyalty to the brand for many years and it's one of few American saddle companies making inroads in the birthplace of the craft, Europe.
While it began in New Jersey and is now headquartered in Aiken, SC, the company holds a very special place for California in its history and its heart.
Founder Cary Wallace packed up and moved the fledging enterprise to San Diego back in 2001. The family-run business opened shop in 1998, in New Jersey, and Cary spent much of the first three years working the Northeast dressage circuit. One trip to Del Mar changed all that. "The response was good and I could see we needed a presence in California if we were ever going to make a go at having a successful saddle company," Cary recalls. "Three months later, I sold my house and moved to California."
The company has been on a track of gradual and hard-earned ascent ever since. Securing Steffen Peters' endorsement early on helped Custom Saddlery get the industry's attention. The three-time Olympian and World Cup champion was riding in another brand when Cary first approached him.
Custom Saddlery's Cary Wallace
"I had met him a few times before talking about saddles," Cary explains. "So this time around I just asked him point blank if he would try a few saddles with no strings attached." Steffen is both fiercely loyal and open minded, so he agreed to test ride Cary's models. "He liked what we provided him. We made some tweaks and ended up getting him a few saddles," Cary explains. "Over time we refined them to the point where he was really comfortable."
Steffen's eventual endorsement was key. The San Diego-based star has received generous offers from many saddle companies, but his loyalty to Custom has been unshakable for some time. "They are simply the best dressage saddles on the market," says Steffen, who has a signature line in Custom's Advantage models.
"That someone like Steffen trusted us enough with his riding and high level horses was a major win for us," Cary notes. "It gave our company credibility and, for us, validation."
Today, Steffen heads a very long list of riders who endorse Custom saddles. Fellow dressage Olympians Sue Blinks, Leslie Reid and Hilda Gurney and eventer Gina Miles, are just a few of them. 2012 Olympic dressage reserve rider Heather Blitz and most recent addition, Swedish Olympian Patrik Kittel, are a few more. But you won't find Cary tooting that horn. "We try to remain very grounded in our approach to working with our customers. It isn't in our nature to brag about our achievements but rather to live off of the satisfaction of our customers."
An Ever-Evolving Process
With Steffen, at the beginning of their relationship and on through to the present, there's no such thing as a finished product. It's a matter of tweaking things in response to the rider's feedback and to any changes in the horse's conformation or performance. That's the case working with Olympians, beginners and horse/rider pairs at every level in between. "We won't stop until we have made our customers feel good about their saddles," Cary says.
Every saddle in Custom's wide selection starts with the conviction that fitting the rider and the horse are equally critical. State-of-the-art facilities in Aiken use the latest technology to ensure design details that are anatomically correct for both.
Horse and rider measurements are the first step. These can be a do-it-yourself project using Custom's easy-to-follow instructions or can be determined with the help of a company certified fitter, of which there are several on the West Coast. Next, it's a statement of preferences regarding knee blocks, flap length, seat size and depth, tree type and other options that enable the saddle to be completely customized. Custom prides itself on the practical attributes of its saddles, but many leather, color and trim choices also provide ample opportunities for personality and pizzazz.
A 10-day trial period on finished orders is a unique reflection of Custom's confidence in its work. Purchases are not finalized until the trial period is over, and customers are strongly encouraged to ride in their new saddle at least five or six times during this period.
The last decade has seen an onslaught of information regarding saddles and saddle fit. The upside is that more riders understand the importance of proper saddle fit, but there is a downside in that the amount of information available can be overwhelming and confusing.
"I think there is a lot of misinformation out there," Cary acknowledges. "The problem is and always will be that horses cannot talk and that owners always write the checks. This creates tremendous conflicts in that most, if not all, professionals never attribute any problems with the horse to the way their riders are affecting them. Another problem is that some horse care professionals attribute issues to the saddle in ways that are difficult to corroborate."
Cary is not at all suggesting that such scenarios are the result of anybody purposely deceiving a horse owner, but they can further complicate the process of nailing down the source of a problem.
"The way we try to address this is just to work with the customer in an altruistic way and treat their requests as honestly and genuinely as possible," Cary explains.
"Each horse and rider combination is unique and we approach each case in a fresh and open manner," he continues. "There are always many things you can do to help a rider and/or horse be more comfortable. With so many models, along with varying methods of fitting horses, the combinations are limitless and aid us in trying to better connect our customers with their equine partners."
Cary is grateful for Custom Saddlery's success and he's constantly pursuing his definition of success: "growing and improving in everything that happens with and around our saddles. That's what success is all about." New designs and saddle trees are exciting aspects of Custom's future, Cary reports. "There are so many fronts you need to be fighting on." Expanding into new countries is one of those, but the constant for Cary and his Custom Saddlery crew is "coming up with more and better ways to make horses and riders more comfortable."

'Avengers: Endgame' Cut Scene Involved Captain America's Beheading
Joe and Anthony Russo, the directors of Avengers: Endgame, revealed that they cut a scene that involved Thanos beheading Captain America (played by Chris Evans).
The scene would see Thanos cut off Captain America's head in 2014, and head to the future to show future Captain America his severed head in the aftermath of their battle.
"Anthony and I were clinging to this concept that we wanted Thanos to walk up to the Avengers and throw Captain America's head on the ground. We couldn't give up on it, and finally we said, 'All right, what if we don't do that, can we find another way into the third act?' And that's when it turned into what it is now," Joe said during an interview with EW.
The actual end of Avengers: Endgame saw Captain America head back in time to return the Infinity Stones. He then went back to the 1940s to live out his life, before jumping to the future to hand his Captain America shield over to Falcon (Anthony Mackie).
If you missed it, Avengers: Endgame just reached a huge milestone!

Pankaj Tripathi is one of the most respected actors who have always managed to give better performances with each project. While he has quite the line-up of films for the coming year, he was initially supposed to be a part of Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari's Panga starring Kangana Ranaut and Jassie Gill. But, due to the lack of dates, Pankaj Tripathi had no option but to opt-out of the project.
A source close to the project revealed that even though Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari was keen on having Pankaj Tripathi on-board, and had narrated a crucial role to him. After giving his nod, he was supposed to join the team for the Bhopal schedule in February but since his plate was full of other projects like Kagaz, Mirzapur 2, Mimi, '83, Ludo, and Kargil Girl.
Well, it surely would have been a treat to watch Pankaj Tripathi be a part of this sport-drama. Pankaj Tripathi said that it would have been great to do the film but unfortunately the dates didn't work out.

B&M Bargains has set its offer price at 270p, valuing the discount retailer at £2.7bn and catapulting it into 10th place by market capitalisation.
The valuation positions B&M ahead of established names such as Home Retail, Dixons and Ocado in terms of market capitalisation.
Meanwhile, My Sale, the flash Sales site that Arcadia tycoon Sir Philip Green invested in last month, has set its offer price at 226p, valuing it at £340m. The etailer is launching on AIM.
B&M's IPO is set to raise £1.08bn, of which the retailer will receive £75m with selling shareholders, founders the Arora family, and private equity firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice receiving the remaining amount. The free float will be 40% of the business.
Conditional dealings began today at 8am, with unconditional dealings beginning on Tuesday next week.
B&M chief executive Simon Arora said: "We are delighted that investors have demonstrated their support for B&M and its growth story in the value sector and that they share our excitement about the group's future.
"We believe that becoming a public company gives us the right long-term ownership model, allowing us to build on our strong track record as we move to the next stage of development. We look forward to continuing to offer incredible value to our loyal customers, to bring the B&M experience to more people as we roll out stores and to breathe life into high streets and retail parks across Britain, creating thousands of jobs each year."
B&M's valuation puts it far ahead of other retail floats this year, including Ao.com's £1.2bn and Pets at Home's £1.3bn listings.
It comes at a time when investor appetite seems to have waned for retail stock. Game Digital last week floated with a market valuation of £340m, down from the £400m originally mooted.
And last month Card Factory also listed at its lower price of 225p to 240p per share, from the original price guidance of between 250p-300p per share, valuing it at £776m. Meanwhile, Fat Face abandoned its £400m float plans in May blaming "retail IPO indigestion".
Apart from Poundland and Shoe Zone, all retail IPOs this year are trading at below their float price.

It's common to visit the tailor to hem your jeans or alter your suits. However, you may not realize how many more useful services a quality custom tailor offers. Next time you feel dissatisfied with an item of clothing, consider these four ways a professional can improve it.
Lesser-Known Options Custom Tailors Offer
1. Create a New Neckline
Many people have a few preferred neckline types that flatter their body, whether it's a scoop, sweetheart, or square style. If you have a blouse or dress you love aside from this detail, a tailor can customize it to suit a preference. In addition to altering the neckline's shape, these professionals can add or remove collars. Breathe new life into your clothes when you update them to a style you adore.
2. Add a Zipper
Dresses and jumpsuits can be challenging to climb into. To help you slip into your favorite piece with ease, a tailor can add a visible or hidden zipper. The adjustment improves your comfort and prevents damage when dressing.
3. Bridge the Gap
Maybe you have the perfect item of clothing—except for the gap in the waist. Unfortunately, even belts can lead to bunching and discomfort when attempting to correct the issue. Instead, bring your clothing to a custom tailor. A professional can alter your jeans, pants, or dress to ensure a seamless fit.
4. Dye Fabric
If your favorite denim jeans or cotton dress appears faded, stained, or worn, visit a tailor rather than throw the beloved item away. A professional can dye natural fabrics like denim, linen, cotton, and silk nearly any color you choose. For example, if you want to dye a pair of light-wash jeans a deep indigo, or a wine-stained cream dress a lovely shade of red, you can customize and update apparel.
For the sophisticated services you need in Manhattan, NY, head to Wo's Custom Tailoring. They have been offering customers in and around the Upper East Side impeccable craftsmanship and customer service for over four decades. To learn more about how they can assist, from suits to wedding dresses, visit the website.
