- Great Service and Amazing FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/28/2014Shanghai Terrace has the best service I've ever experienced. The food is absolutely perfect and the chef is very accommodating. The outdoor ambiance is very romantic and overall the terrace seating is an experience that should not be missed. The terrace has a combination of lounge type seating and actual dining tables. We started at the lounge seats for drinks and eventually were moved to a table. The flora is beautiful and very tastefully decorated.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 9/21/2014We celebrated my birthday on Sunday, September 21. The staff could not have been nicer. The food was excellent. We return again and again to this very special restaurant.Special Features:
- Great experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014One of the top restaurants in the city, on every level.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ImpressedCPowDined on 9/18/2014My husband and I wanted a decent Asian food experience above the norm with our 3 month old in tow. The service, especially related to our daughter, was impeccable and above and beyond. They gave us an over-sized table to accommodate the small stroller our daughter was in without us even inquiring if it was a possibility. I just assumed they wouldn't let us have the stroller in the restaurant and would put us at a standard sized table, but they did the complete opposite. It was unexpected and appreciated more than they know. The food was delicious and the cucumber garden fizz was refreshing with the eggplant dish and dim sum. Everyone we encountered seemed to truly want us to enjoy our experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Truly a wonderful experiencedracoDined on 9/16/2014The ambiance was very nice. Comfortable and romantic. The service was excellent; but the star of the show was truly the food. The first bite was so outstanding, it made you pause... to reflect on the flavors, experiencing the simple yet complex flavors. It was honestly the best Chinese food I've ever had, from anywhere in the world. It is on the pricier side of restaurants in Chicago, but well worth the expense.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Asian Restaurant .Chuck1VIPDined on 9/16/2014This place gets 5 stars across the board. We have been there several times this past month. Excellent every time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing foo & okay foodMiguelBuseDined on 9/11/2014Great customer service. The lamb was AMAZING. The rosemary and lavender cocktail was AMAZING. However, the crab wonton is no different then any random Chinese/Cantonese dining spot, I didn't even taste much crab. General tso chicken was very good but lacking in the sauce department and ultimately not worth the price tag. After 1 cocktail, 2 bottled waters, 2 entrees and an appetizer the meal came out to about $135 so be aware.Special Features:
- DinnerMorgan17Dined on 9/7/2014Dinner at The Shanghai Terrace was delicious ! The atmosphere was perfect to enjoy an evening dining on the terrace. The service was outstanding .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Memorable Chinese FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 9/7/2014If you want to find a place having both good Chinese food and quite environment, Shanghai Terrace is definitely a good choice. Haven being here for many times, the food here always has the power to remind me the hometown. You can taste tons of traditional Chinese food in Chinatown, however, this place, to my opinion, is the best place to enjoy Chinese food.Special Features:
- Great Chinese!GiddsDined on 9/3/2014A first class Chinese restaurant. Great tasting quality food from the appetisers to dessert! Get a seat on the outside terrace and enjoy a real foodies experience! In a word, classy.Special Features:
- First and last time at ShanghaiDispointmentDined on 8/31/2014This was our first and last time at Shanghai Terrace. We ordered our food around 7pm, both appetizers and entree. Appetizers were served in reasonable time and then came the wait! We waited more than an hour, after complaining food was finally served. I was hopping the food would be worth the wait but we were disappointed again. The food was average at best. I will give credit where it is due, the server and the manager were polite and helpful. They did not charge us for the Appetizers.Special Features:
- Probably the best Chinese In townGeorgiaGuyVIPDined on 8/29/2014Expensive, but it is the Peninsula. The food is wonderful. Great cocktail options and a good selection of wines by the glass. The outdoor terrace is great for dining, but it us probably the best outdoor bar in Chicago.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful experience all around...TyanDined on 8/26/2014We were in Chicago for a concert and our anniversary and a friend recommended Shanghai Terrace. The staff was friendly, polite and helpful throughout the entire hotel. I loved the staff uniforms. Everyone was impeccably dressed. The terrace seating is lovely. Both of our waitresses were knowledgeable and helpful. I wanted to try so many things and my friends let me know that you can get a half portion of the chicken dish she recommended. Our waitress enthusiastically told us you can get a half portion of all of the large dishes! Peking Duck, charsiu bao, Kungpao chicken & beef with rice noodles. Heaven! The food was delicious, authentic and plated beautifully. We received a complimentary dessert for our anniversary. Couldn't be happier!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect outdoor dining experienceTobiasFunkeDined on 8/23/2014Spent a wonderful weekend at the Peninsula Hotel including a great dinner at Shanghai Terrace. If the weather is right, sitting outside is a must. Great view and atmosphere. Service was perfect. Formal but friendly. Exactly how I like it. We never felt rushed but never waited for anything. I had a love affair with the wonton soup and the steamed pork dim sum. The main course of rack of lamb was very good as well. My wife had the spring shrimp roll and Kung Pao chicken which was a little spicier than she expected but still very good. They have a small but good wine list as well. Is it expensive? Yes, but definitely worth it. Will recommend to friends and will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding!Bocabrit77VIPDined on 8/22/2014Absolutely fantastic! Food, service, ambience was outstanding. Well worth it. A must in Chicago! Fabulous!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Elegance in ChicagoCaMaBoDined on 8/21/2014Spent an evening dinner here with my husband and my parents while visiting Chicago. It was our first meal in Chicago, and it was excellent. The food was tasty, the decor was exotic and elegant. Ate on the terrace after a heavy rainstorm, and the evening air was fantastic!Special Features:
- Best Chinsese Food in Chicago!EMOOREVIPDined on 8/19/2014I and a business associate had dinner at Shanghai Terrace while on a business trip to Chicago. I had eaten in Chicago's China Town many times. Shanghai Terrace in the Peninsula Hotel is the best. I had the Peking Duck and it was served with real Plum Sauce and was exceptional, almost as good as Hong Kong. I would recommend Shanghai Terrace to anyone.Special Features:
- Very attentive servers.DibsdiditDined on 8/18/2014The food is very good and the outdoor seating is fabulous!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding OverallOutstandingDined on 8/16/2014I will recommend all my friends and family. The food, ambience and customer service was the absolute best. I plan to have lunch at the Shanghai Terrace at least once every month. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.Special Features:
- Very good, overly expensivePhilVIPDined on 8/13/2014wonderful and creative Chinese food, wonderful service, very pleasant on the terrace, unnecessecarily expensive. We were celebrating our 32nd wedding anniversary so we were ok with splurging. They knew from our reservation that we were celebrating and they gave us a nice dessert to honor us. We are glad we ate outside which looked much more aesthetically pleasing than the relatively small inside part of the restaurant. Happy Red Rice was unusual and amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, but would not spend this much on Chinese food except for a very special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Stunning!!!Chicago12Dined on 8/7/2014This is one beautiful restaurant with great outdoor dinning at one of Chicago's finest hotels. You feel transformed into the wonder and beauty of China!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Wonderful dinner on the terraceArthurJacobVIPDined on 8/6/2014Dinner was slightly marred by a fundraiser being held on an adjacent terrace, particularly when we were captive listeners to their blah blah blah "God Bless America" "Reagan" "Thank you for your donations" etc., so we almost moved indoors, but thankfully the speeches were short and we persevered as it was a beautiful evening. I'd recommend the restaurant pre-emptively warn terrace diners before they sit down when they host an adjacent function. On a much note, The BEST VEGETABLE DUMPLINGS. EVER. And gracious service. Highly recommend sans the red politicos and party hacks. Excellent and beautifully executed Chinese food.Special Features:
- ALTERNATIVE TO EATING IN CHINAavipVIPDined on 8/2/2014Better than most resturants in Shanghai, good service, you can talk and hear your friends at the table, and the sole dish was excellent as were the dim sum. Only complaint - slow in filling water glasses and can become expensive but worth it.Special Features:
- Upscale ChinesePangurBanVIPDined on 8/2/2014Shanghai Terrace is a GREAT Chinese restaurant on cold and rainy nights. But it is at its best when you can dine on the TERRACE it is by far the BEST to dine outdoors. For lunch or late night dim sum with drinks it is GREAT.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Upscale delicious Chinesedogbaby60VIPDined on 7/29/2014We loved this restaurant, went back twice during our 1 week stay in Chicago. Duck 3 ways is full of subtle flavors, dim sum is quality, service matches the food. A must if you are in Chicago and love Chinese food
- gynboyDined on 7/26/2014Very much enjoyed lunch here. Best kung pao chicken I've had in years. Servers are excellent. Beautiful location on a summer afternoon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrific service, excellent food.fulltummyDined on 7/23/2014This place is a gem. The service is attentive without being overbearing. The food really is the best Chinese in Chicago. Our server was really helpful in creating a meal that was perfect for everyone. We ate family style which I would recommend for anyone inexperienced with this cuisine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great AmbianceChiJVIPDined on 7/21/2014The spice hits you as you enter the dining room and the smell raises your expectations for what you'll be eating. You won't be disappointed, the food is very good. The turnip cake was a surprise, perhaps more authentic than I expected, but tasty for sure. We had the prix fixe "land" menu for lunch and our beef was very tender (perhaps a bit more salt than I like but no problem). The pork dumpling was a little dense but the mushroom dumpling (shumai, maybe) was wonderful, wonderful. Our iced teas, at $9 per glass, were pricey, but a beautiful pitcher for refills and waitstaff that constantly attended to our glasses made the price understandable! The terrace was simply beautiful, and sitting inside or out, it's a pleasure to dine here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Swank birthday lunch in the sunSassyChicagoanVIPDined on 7/19/2014My parents, husband and I very much enjoyed the gorgeous July day outside on the Terrace, with attentive service, fantastic food and great ambiance. The plantings were beautiful and the umbrellas cut the hot sunshine nicely. Overall, a wonderful experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Morgan17Dined on 7/18/2014I have been to Shanghai Terrace a number of times for lunch and the food is always outstanding. I especially enjoy the Land option. The outdoor dining is beautiful and relaxing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- a wonderful choicegame4allseasonsVIPDined on 7/17/2014I recently dined at Shanghai Terrace and it couldn't have been better. For years an elderly friend of mine who loved the dining at the Peninsula in Hong Kong tried to get me to try ST but I never got around to it. The service was perfect; the food was unusual, subtlety seasoned, wonderful. The ambiance is also exceptional in simple elegance. The crispy duck was just as good as the great Communist Party favorite in Beijing. The rice was different and tasty. The halibut was fresh and delicate. The dessert a coconut creme brulee with mango sherbet was one of the best desserts I've had, certainly the best in a Chinese restaurant. The glass of wine was expensive but a fine brand and a full pour.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Chinese in townAMBChicagoVIPDined on 7/13/2014This is a lovely restaurant. The service is impeccable and the food not your normal fried, greasy, over flavored Chinese. We had three appetizers and three entrees for the four of us. All different and all delicious. Although their dim sum menus come in three bites, we asked for four and they accommodated us. My sister and her husband had never had this kind of subtle beautifully prepared Chinese food. They not only raved about the food, but also the service and the atmosphere. It is truly lovely to be outside on the deck with the beautiful flowers, umbrellas and lovely atmosphere. We have been to this restaurant many times and tried many dishes. All have been good, so it just depends on what you are in the mood for. Enjoy.Special Features:
- A must goJRMandCNMDined on 7/12/2014Everything at the Shanghai Terrace in the Peninsula Hotel is first class and top quality. From the minute you enter the restaurant, the waitstaff treats you like a celebrity. The menu is unique and the food is fabulous.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Impeccable service, delcious foodChicagoRNVIPDined on 7/10/2014Had dinner with a friend on the terrace. As we waited for a few minutes for our table, a waitress offered us drinks. My mocktail was delicious; I forgot there wasn't any alcohol in it. We were then seated and our server was so polite and attentive. We ordered 3 dim sum orders and a beef noodle dish. The food was enough for both of us. I was really surprised how delicious the food was. I've had Chinese food in Chinatown, but does not compare to the flavor and sauces at Shanghai Terrace. I made reservations for a friend's birthday dinner next month. Looking forward to dining with them again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- rare2postDined on 7/10/2014The food and cocktails are consistently great. But, aside from the terrace dining, what makes this place really stand out above so many other great restaurants are the people who work here. The entire staff is amazing. Attentive without being overbearing. They have consistently made our special nights out there special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect birthday dinnerworlddinersDined on 7/9/2014We took our son, daughter, and son-in-law to Shanghai Terrace to celebrate our son-in-law's birthday. The food was excellent--we had quite a variety of flavors and everyone loved their meals. The cocktails were great, as well, and the wine list was very impressive. Dining outdoors with an amazing view of the Hancock Building on a perfect summer night in Chicago was an extra-special treat, even for our kids who all live in Chicago. My husband and I, who have dined in Shanghai, thought the dinner was excellent--the jumbo tiger prawns were delicious! The staff were very attentive, and there was a lovely chocolate mousse cake with a candle for the birthday celebrant. Definitely worth a return visit!Special Features:
- Not as good as it's reviewsUnremarkableDined on 7/8/2014Small restaurant when the patio is taken by a private event Service was mediocre Peking duck was good not great and certainly not the quality or presentation we have experienced at Penninsula Hotels in Hong Kong and Bangkok
- Great service, decent food.Hydrant1Dined on 7/8/2014When we eat at a restaurant for two and have 2 entrees, 2 drinks, and an appetizer i don't usually spend a $ amount equal to my monthly college loan payments. i understand the view and ambiance is incredible but if im paying $200 for decent food its a little upsetting. The appearance on th food was great, order kung pao and it looked delicious. Took my first bite and I thought it was a Pf changs frozen dinner. Anyways, it would,be optimal to grab a drink there and take in the Hancock.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Shanghai Superior in Every WayDiningdivaVIPDined on 7/6/2014The Peninsula is the pinnacle of hospitality and graciousness. From the moment you arrive everyone is keyed into offering top-line service. On my niece's 21st birthday we celebrated at the Shanghai Terrace first with stellar cocktails accompanied by bar snacks- wasabi peas, pretzels, nuts, and crackers. They have an imaginative refreshing beverage list with virgin versions also. The bellman brought up our presents and cake to the restaurant. The valet loaded a wheel-chair into the trunk helping everyone out of our vehicle. The doormen held both doors open. We loved having time out on the Terrace in the sun and dining inside on the best Chinese Food. We started with a variety of delectable dim sun. Their home made hot sauce was wonderful.Special Features:

It doesn't get any cuter than this — Justin Bieber brought his four-year-old baby sister Jazmyn to the stage during his Home For The Holidays concert in Toronto for a "duet" of "Baby," which, if not exactly sonorous, was about as precious as precious can be. (For proof, just listen to the audience cooing and cheering the whole way through.) The clip was filmed for Canadian TV, joining his iTV special This Is Justin Bieber in the UK. And Christmas came a few days early for these Beliebers, because the sharp-looking singer also debuted a new acoustic song called "Be Alright." Check it out below.
It may be too early yet to tell if Jazmyn has the pipes to join her big brother in his pop stardom, but "Be Alright" indicates a slightly more mature sound for Justin that indicates he may just be around for awhile.

WORCESTER, Mass. (MyFoxBoston.com) -- A 27-year-old Uxbridge woman was arrested Tuesday afternoon for her alleged connection to a hit-and-run that injured a 10-year-old boy in Worcester.
Gina Amore is charged with failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk and leaving the scene of personal injury.
Investigators allege Amore hit the 10-year-old victim as he attempted to cross Pleasant Street in a marked crosswalk with his mother at about 8:15 a.m. The mother and child were signaled to cross by a crossing guard. When they reached the center of the road, the boy was hit by a Ford Explorer and thrown five feet.
The driver, allegedly Amore, is accused of quickly fleeing the scene.
The victim was transported to a local hospital with what are considered non-life threatening injuries. While investigating, police received a detailed description of the suspect's car.
At about 12:40 p.m., a patrol officer located and stopped the accused suspect's SUV at the corner of May and Pleasant streets. Investigators claim the SUV had damage to its front end. Amore was placed under arrest.
The 27-year-old is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday.

THIS ITEM IS OUT OF STOCK. CLICK HERE TO VIEW SIMILAR PRODUCTS.Our take: The G&G Full Metal Gearbox Combat Machine M4 Raider w/ an integrated rail system and full-length M4 barrel is a high-quality, high-performance Airsoft AEG rifle that is affordable at the same time. It is basically G&G's take on the iconic M4 RIS rifle, and features many of the high-end features normally found only on much more expensive G&G Top Tech [$350+] models. The CM M4 Raider comes standard with a 6-point retractable crane stock to allow nunchuck-style battery storage, making it extremely versatile. With the stock fully retracted, it packs a fierce punch in indoor/CQB games meanwhile with the stock fully extended, it can still run with the big boys in outdoor games. With a muzzle velocity that easily overpowers Tokyo Marui AEGs and a reinforced high performance full metal gearbox, the G&G CM M4 Raider is a force to be reckoned with out on the Airsoft fields. It has been engineered to be compatible with Tokyo Marui and many other aftermarket upgrade parts, and thus it is a modular platform on which customizations and upgrades can be done with ease.G&G has reinforced the build ofthe gearbox to be on par with their more-expensive "Top Tech" line of $350+ AEGs, making this M4-RIS Raider an amazing value. In addition, the internals have been enhanced right from the factory to deliver an extremely high rate of fire [ROF] right out of the box; users can take advantage of 900-1000 rounds per minute using a 9.6v battery! Add a precision crafted barrel that enhances accuracy and minimizes barrel wobble, and you have an amazingly SOLID fully automatic railed M4 AEG w/ a crane stock at an unbeatable price. The barrel length is that of a full-size M4 Carbine, aiding in both accuracy and power delivery, as making the weapon a full-size rifle as opposed to a compact M4.Specifications:- Shoots 310-330 FPS, compared with only 285 FPS by the Tokyo Marui M4 RIS AEG (priced @ $300+)- Full length barrel makes this a full-sized M4 RIS rifle- This AEG is 100% compatible with Tokyo Marui parts- Enhanced high-performance full metal gearbox/high-torque motor- Semi/Fully Automatic firing models with functional safety- 450rd high capacity magazine comes standard- Adjustable hop-up is integrated into rifle design, along w/ 4-point retractable rear stock- Full metal barrel assembly for a solid build- Adjustable iron sights; (removable rear iron sight)- This M4 is extremely versatile and will dominate in any game, be it CQB (close-quarters combat) or outdoors- Battery and charger not included- BOTTOM LINE: If you want a gun with similar HIGH-END components to the G&G TOP TECH M4, but with EVEN MORE functionality AT ABOUT HALF THE PRICE, this is your BEST BET, GUARANTEED.For maximum performance, we recommend a 9.6v nun-chuck battery. 8.4v nun-chuck batteries will also work perfectly with this rifle. For safe and quick charging, an universal smart charger is recommended.Specifications:Operation: Electric AutomaticFiring Modes: Semi-automatic and Full-automaticMuzzle Velocity: 310-330 FPSMagazine: 450-round high capacity (gear wind-up)Gearbox: Full metalHop-up: AdjustableWeight: 7 poundsAmmo type: Seamless 0.20g or heavier (0.23g, 0.25g, 0.26g, 0.28g, etc) BBs. For maximum performance and accuracy, Airsoft Megastore recommends GoldenBall ProSlick BBs which carry perfect spherical consistency and density, available at Airsoft Megastore for the lowest price on the market, guaranteed.Package includes: Rifle, 450-round high capacity magazine, 1,000rd pack of G&G 0.20g BBsNOTE: This AEG DOES NOT come with a battery or charger. We recommend using a smart charger when charging airsoft AEG batteries.
"One of the best guns I have ever owned. I was not sure on the gun because of the plastic body, but it is so durable so do not let that stop you from purchasing this gun. Pros: lightweight, durable, good rate of fire, shoots moderately hard. Cons: only a little stock wobble. Worth every penny."
found this review helpful.
"Ill start off with saying that I'm nowhere near being a pro at airsoft, but I know that this gun is quality. It shoots around 350 FPS at about 850 rounds per minute with an 8.4v battery. It's build is very sturdy, with the only exception being to the wiggly mag. The mag is metal, along with most of the internals. This includes the inner barrel and obviously the gearbox. All in all, it was worth every penny put in to it. Oh, and the design is fully upgradeable, so that's a plus. I'm very happy with my buy and recommend this to any CQB player."
"this gun has change my life i never whip so much ass before in airsoft before if your looking for a good gun its this one, note this gun does not come with battery or charger and the clip is alitle wobble i suggest this gun to any real airsoft players and also get a black acog or holographic sight with this gun it will make it 10 times sexy"
"I bought one of these, shot 385 right out of the box. I put a 6.03 barrel in it, and one of the friends that I regularly play with is now scared of it. We play with a group that rarely uses guns that cost less than $500 bucks, and many of them were completely shocked at the cost and performance of this amazing buy! Only issue I had was the outer barrel did fall off, but about 5 minutes and a pair of allen wrenches fixed that."
"this gun is amazing, it is perfect for cqb clocking in at around 320-340 which makes it good for outdoor play too, it is also very reliable and has good trigger response and a long battery life, all in all i give it 9.999999999/10"
found this review helpful.
"this gun is AMAZING me and 3 of my friends have it and we all think its the best in firing rate and mobility and all i have to say is its worth your money"
"when i got this gun i was very exited and when i first used it with a 9.6 1600 mah battery i was any less excited. the pros of this gun are
great fps
great rof
amazing look
great accuracy
wobbley clip but easy to fix that
mostly hard durable plastic"
"I've had this rifle for about three months and its still performing as it did out of the box, which was incredible. I leave welts on my friends with this thing at forty yards, and they swear I'm firing hot when I'm only chrono'd at 365fps.
This rifle is a great base for upgrades too with the lengthy quad rail, although it practically needs none. It accepts paint well, as mine is sitting pretty with a nice desert camo pattern that's been on there for a month and a half now. Single-point slings work great, as it has a sling plate pre-installed. Also comes with an aluminum inner barrel, which is one step up from the standard brass on most AEGs
The battery sits in the 6-point stock, and its pretty simple to hook up once you thread the plug and nunchucks through the removeable template piece in the back. A 450rd hi-cap coming standard is also a plus. Iron sights are standard M16, so I NcStar'd mine with a red/green dot reflex and that alone with the paint tac it out a great deal.
Overall I have more range and power than all my friends, including a $400 full-metal licensed Herstal F2000. No mechanical problems at all and none foreseeable.
Sorry if I seem like a fanboy for this rifle, but it has just been that good to me. 5 stars."
"We picked this up and have shot thousands through the gun with no problems at all. Great accuracy and power, rate of fire is right, shoots through pop cans easily. For the price and light weight, a solid purchase. Actual weight with battery is 4 lbs 14 ounces SUPER LIGHT"
"Overall it's a great gun, I haven't had problems with it and it's a great price, seeing as how I've looked around other sites, and everywhere else that has it, has it listed as $200+ ."
"My friend got this gun in July and it is really nice. Good rpms and fps. It is also fairly accurate
"I bought this gun and the full metal JG M-4. the JG is quite heavy, the G & G is very light. One spring upgrade and the G&G would match the JG in overall distance. The JG may feel more like A real M-4, but if you just want to play wargames, the G&G is a real treat. The battery was easy enough to load, the JG with 9.6 was impossible to load battery, The barrel detent is not sized for the 9.6, nor is the tabs on the handle[had to grind one off,] .I would've posted this on the JG comments, but I already commented before I got the gun, so they won't let me review it again. I've had zero troubles with the G&G, it 's my best AEG purchase yet."
"i want this gun so much too bad my mom doesnt want to pay this much for an airsoft gun"
"This gun is really excellent! the range rate of fire are both really great. Gun looks realistic. I will have videos of me useing this gun on my team channel on youtube and maybe a review. if you want to check it out go to
"Just got mine in the mail, great performance, light, great feel, the only problem was the clip was a little wobbly, still works great thoug!"
"this gun is sweet i use it at an arena it is so good i love it!"
"This gun is really good. But the people below me are idiots. STOP ASKING QUESTIONS YOU IDIOTS!!!. THIS IS A PLACE WHERE YOUU ARE SUPPOSED TO WRITE A REVIEW ON HOW GOOD THE GUN IS OR WHERE IT NEEDS WORK!!!! IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, CONTACT THEIR !@#$%* SUPPORT EMAIL ADDRESS!!!!! "
"I highly recommend this gun to anyone beginners or even pros they will both have fun with it. I would recommend you get a 9.6v nunchuck with it because it does not come with one and if you are experienced enough to open the gun up slam in a Madbull 6.01 tight bore and you will have amazing accuracy. "
"Yes it comes with the one point adapter, and its just a great overall gun, chronoed at 384 out of the box with .2's its a great gun"
"this gun is so good for the money and very sharp looking i love the way it feels and i love the way it shootes"
"good for a expert player great for a new player
great gun great price thankyou airsoft megastore.
"Nope the gun doesn't come with a battery but you can buy a great 9.6v for it from allbattery.com for 20$ verses paying around 40$ everywhere else. But I would still get the gun. You won't find a cheaper G$G AEG anywhere and G&G is really good quality lasts forever goooood guns. "
"This gun is outstanding for both beginners and experienced airsoft players. For a good rof, get a 9.6v 1600mah nunchuck battery.
Perfect fps (not too hard but still has some punch)
Great accuracy
good rof
very sturdy and reliable
Looks ssseeeexxxxyyyy
lots of ris rails for attachments.
Slight stock/mag wobble( Not bad though)
tricky to get battery in/out
overall 5/5 this thing does work
"just wanted to tell you that it is a signature cut, all G&G guns come with a chip from the flash hider"
"i got this gun a week ago and it has been operating to its fullest extent i could of asked for, fps are good, rof is good, distance for fps is amazing, and the weight is very good for a big or small person. the gun is built tough and wont break unless u run it over abs plastic ftw! buy this gun you wont be mad!!"
"Is the barrel as long as it shows in the pic because I've seen a few vids on YouTube and they were short barrels"
"This gun has a great feel when you hold it and the grip feels great the mag is a little bit loose but it still feeds great. the fps when i cronoed it it came out at an avrage of 367 fps with .20 gram bbs a little low but the accuracy makes up for it. it shoots straight for about 150 feet then drops and at a distance of 50 feet the spread is about 1 ft by 1 ft overall great gun p.s. the battery is tricky to get into but it goes into the stock .instead of pushing the leaver to adjust the stock you pull it out and slide it off to expose the wires."
"I just ordered this gun.. Cant wait to get it"
"This is a very good gun for anyone beginning in airsoft or even a mid-level player. It Gets good accuracy, Great rate of fire, and great range. All aroud a really good gun."
"this gun is totally amazing and i highly reccomend buying it!!!!!!!!
pros: alot
cons: none :)"
"What is the length of the gun and is it really heavy??"
"where would you get the battery and charger from and how much
im thinking about getting this or a m4 s system"
"Hi, I see a one point sling adapter in the picture. Can anyone tell me if this actually comes on the gun or do I have to buy it?"
"does this gun come with a battey? I saw it said 900-1000 rpm with 9.6v. is that included?"
This is a very versatile and durable gun. It's great for anything from CQB to mid-long range target practice. It's very easy to add attachments because the fact that it has a built in quad rail. It could even be used for a display gun to show off all of your great expensive attachments and upgrades. This is probably the best m4 for the bang for your buck. It shoots very accurately and has a descent fps. If you're looking for a good all around m4, that's not too pricey, this is definitely the gun for you. M4's are generally pretty good all around guns, but this one out stands all the rest. I'd pay $200 for this gun. That's how great this gun is. Note: If you're not planning on getting a grip for this gun, you should definitely get rail covers because the rails can be pretty sharp. Buy this gun, and go have fun!
We are glad to hear that you are enjoying this product! We agree that the rails can be a little uncomfortable to hold over long periods of time, have you checked out the T&D Airsoft RIS Textured Rail Cover Set of 8 (5 to 14 slots) - BLACK? The T&D Airsoft Slim Handguard Rail Cover Ladders Set of 4 - BLACK is also great if you are just looking to round off the edges without adding much more "shape" to the rail.
"This is a great gun all around!!! Metal gearbox, mosty ABS plastic but not much to complain about at all. Its just like metal. The iron sights are great and gun gun is accurate as HELL! Perfect FPS for both CQB at regular. Just remember to get a 9.6V nunchuck and a smart charger. PROS: Great weight, metal gearbox, accurate (Shot mailbox from roof 60 ft away!) great iron sights, 450 rd mag, plenty of rails, looks awesome. CONS: Only thing I have to say is that the mag has a bit of wiggle room but no biggie...4 stars cuz nothing is perfect."
"This is a solid buy for anyone especially for the price. I havnt had any problems and its pretty realistic. Good fps,(hurts). In a gun like this there is a lot of room for error but G&G did a great job.
This gun has been a blast. If your looking for reliability buy this gun just take care of it."
"im geting three guns for x-mas this been mine and two 109.00 m-4 comp spec guns for my 12 and 13 yr olds looks great cant wait to play"
"my motor stoped working within a cuple of weeks but i did enjoy it before it stoped working "
"I just got this gun yesterday. I tested it out and it stuck on safety when I put it on semi. then it would get stuck if I put it on full auto, and it would not stop shooting. I had to put it on safety to make it stop. otherwise it is a good gun. good FPS, and the battery wasn't a lot of trouble. i'm trying to contact AMS on the probs.
I know it's not an expensive gun but I could have got a real gun for the price. now I just have a dysfunctional toy.
if you get one it might not have these problems but don't get to disappointed. though it might be good
oh and a note to all you people asking questions read the description first, then contact the store. don't use the reviews to ask questions. you mess up the rating.
- next day. I just called AMS and they are going to replace my gun, i'm so exited!
- month later, they said it had no problems when they tested it. so i'm using store credit to get a dif gun. i'm thinking the GR15 version of this."

One teen is dead and another is in custody after a shooting in Minneapolis Friday afternoon.
The shooting took place around 3:30 p.m. Friday afternoon at the 2900 block of Bloomington Ave.
The family is identifying the victim as 16-year-old Trequan Sykes and, according to police, the shooting took place during an argument behind Sykes' home.
Police say Trequan collapsed just inside his apartment and was then rushed to the hospital – but it was too late.
Minneapolis police arrested the 16-year-old suspect near 28th Street East and Bloomington Avenue South around 7 p.m. Friday. He was then booked into the Hennepin County Juvenile Detention Center pending murder charges.
"It's senseless," said Minneapolis City Council member Gary Schiff. "Kids using guns to address conflict. It's just incomprehensible how easy it is for a kid to get a hand on a gun in this city. If kids didn't have guns this might have been a fist fight."
According to his family, Sykes was a superb athlete at Roosevelt High School, especially in football.
Schiff says it's the first murder in his ward in about a year, but unfortunately he fears it's not the end of the violence.

The William E. English Foundation provides below-market-rate office and program space for non-profit social service organizations that serve Indianapolis residents.
The English Foundation was established in 1932 with proceeds from the will of Captain William E. English (1850-1926). It is a supporting organization to The Indianapolis Foundation.
The directors of the English Foundation constructed the English Foundation Building in 1953. The building provides over 60,000 square feet of office space for its tenants at approximately two-thirds the cost of comparable commercial buildings, allowing thousands of dollars annually to be to be available for program services rather than for office rental costs
The facility houses the offices of Central Indiana Community Foundation, The Indianapolis Foundation, the English Foundation, and thirteen charitable service organizations, including:
- Arthritis Foundation, Indiana Chapter
- Child Care Answers
- Day Nursery Association
- Family Service of Central Indiana
- Gennesaret Free Clinic
- Happy Hollow Children's Camp, Inc.
- Indiana Association of Rehabilitation Facilities, Inc.
- Indianapolis Legal Aid Society, Inc.
- Indianapolis Parks Foundation
- Lacy Leadership Association (LLA)
- Momentive Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Central Indiana, Inc.
- Social Health Association of Central Indiana
- Techpoint Foundation
- YMCA of Greater Indianapolis, Inc.
- YMCA Urban Mission
About Captain William E. English
William E. English was a visionary philanthropist in the Indianapolis community in the early 1900s. Upon his death in 1926, and his wife's death in 1932, The Indianapolis Foundation, an affiliate of Central Indiana Community Foundation (CICF), inherited the entire English estate.
In his will, Mr. English made a provision that allowed for the construction of a building for Indianapolis organized charities. The English Foundation would, in William E. English's words "…become and remain forever the headquarters of Indianapolis organized charity…" The English Foundation Building at 615 North Alabama Street was built in 1953 to fulfill his dream.
Today, the building carries on his vision as it provides office space for charitable community service organizations.

The following post is from HRC Foundation Welcoming Schools Director, Kim Westheimer: A study released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that 27% of middle school students and 16% of high school students in Massachusetts have been bullied. The study shows an association between bullying and poor grades, suicidal ideation, self-injury, and witnessing violence in the home. This type of survey can inform school officials and policy makers about the general scope of the problem of bullying. But there are a few missing pieces.Continue Reading ►

The present high standing of Polish Pottery from Boleslawiec stems from the seven centuries of work of local craftsmen and artists of pottery. Even though old pottery hardly resembled modern ceramics, both archeologists and contemporary tradesmen easily distinguish Boleslawiec Polish Ceramics from products of lesser quality. Despite the fact that only those affluent enough could afford the purchase of deluxe Boleslawiec Pottery, the fame of Boleslawiec in Poland extends well over several centuries.
The oldest existant pieces of Polish Stoneware are dated back to the first half of the 16th Century and bear distinctive features of the Renaissance style. The technique of decorating underneath the glaze begins with the age of Baroque. With this technique, decorations in the form of branches, flower, birds and religious motives were introduced onto the product before the process of burning and by means of special punches and only then the ornamented piece was covered with glaze. Often, Polish Pottery ordered by magnates and royalty was decorated with their coats of arms. For example, the pottery made especially for Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, was decorated with his initials and the crown.
Growing popularity of Boleslawiec Pottery stimulated demand, which in turn led to the growing number of manufacturers to produce the pottery. There were already 15 ceramic workshops in Boleslawiec at the beginning of the 19th century. At the same time, the insistence of royal administration led to the emergence of a tendency to alter traditional forms of Boleslawiec Ceramics in order to make it resemble the then fashionable china. Nevertheless, most of the manufacturers showed considerable resistance to this trend and retained original well-established patterns featured by relatively thick walls and the resulting softness of lines. Punch technique remained the basic decorative style.
The rising fame of the original Boleslawiec Ceramics, which differed in style from china and yet considered equally refined, made it possible to increase the volumes of production and, consequently, in the middle of the 19th century, Boleslawiec became the center of ceramic the industry in central Europe. In the year 1844, the Polish stoneware from Jan Gottlieb Altmann's manufacturer was awarded the Golden Medal on the prestigious exhibition in London. This valuable award boosted the fame of Bunzlauer Ceramics and confirmed the already high standing of this type of ceramics in European markets.
In our Polish Pottery Wholesale, you will find a great selection of bowls from little dipping bowls, through small and medium serving bowls, up to large scalloped or mixing Boleslawiec bowls.
Polish Stoneware is oven, microwave, dishwasher, and freezer safe. It is also lead and cadmium-free, and chip-resistant. We offer a huge variety of baking dishes in all sizes, such as: rectangular baking dishes, casserole baking dishes with lid and many more. Additionally, all Polish pottery dishes are covered with glaze, which makes them extremely easy to wash, since nothing sticks to it. Our store offers a great variety of dinnerware in our fabulous kitchen and table category, including products like salt and pepper shakers, vinegar and olive oil decanter sets and napkin holders. We must also mention our egg cups, which are ideal for serving soft boiled eggs. We offer an array of coffee pots and mugs, as well as beautiful pitchers on special discount.

Just 16km west of Datong, the monumental Yungang Caves (云冈石窟, yúngāng shíkū), a set of Buddhist grottoes carved into the side of a sandstone cliff, are a must. Built around 400 AD at a time of Buddhist revival, the caves were the first and grandest of the three major Buddhist grottoes, the other two being the Longmen Caves in Luoyang and the Mogao Caves in Gansu. These are the best preserved, but prepare to be disappointed by their surroundings – the atmosphere has for years been blighted by nearby coal mines, and the benefits afforded by the recent addition of parkland have been eroded by a huge and even more recently built shopping mall. However, it's still well worth the trip.
Arranged in three clusters (east, central and west) and numbered east to west from 1 to 51, the caves originally spread across an area more than 15km long, though today just a kilometre-long fragment survives. If it's spectacle you're after, just wander at will, but to get an idea of the changes of style and the accumulation of influences, you need to move sequentially between the three clusters. The earliest group is caves 16–20, followed by 7, 8, 9 and 10, then 5, 6 and 11 – the last to be completed before the court moved to Luoyang. Then followed 4, 13, 14 and 15, with the caves at the eastern end – 1, 2 and 3 – and cave 21 in the west, carved last. Caves 22–50 are smaller and less interesting.
Building the Yungang Caves
Building the Yungang Caves
Construction of the Yungang Caves began in 453 AD, when Datong was the capital of the Northern Wei dynasty, and petered out around 525, after the centre of power moved to Luoyang. The caves were made by first hollowing out a section at the top of the cliff, then digging into the rock, down to the ground and out, leaving two holes, one above the other. As many as forty thousand craftsmen worked on the project, coming from as far as India and Central Asia, and there is much foreign influence in the carvings: Greek motifs (tridents and acanthus leaves), Persian symbols (lions and weapons), and bearded figures, even images of the Hindu deities Shiva and Vishnu, are incorporated among the more common dragons and phoenixes of Chinese origin. The soft, rounded modelling of the sandstone figures – China's first stone statues – lining the cave interiors has more in common with the terracotta carvings of the Mogao Caves near Dunhuang in Gansu, begun a few years earlier, than with the sharp, more linear features of Luoyang's later limestone work. In addition, a number of the seated Buddhas have sharp, almost Caucasian noses.
The caves' present condition is misleading, as originally the cave entrances would have been covered with wooden facades, and the sculptures would have been faced with plaster and brightly painted; the larger sculptures are pitted with regular holes, which would once have held wooden supports on which the plaster face was built. Over the centuries, some of the caves have inevitably suffered from weathering, though there seems to have been little vandalism, certainly less than at Luoyang.

VW's 2.0-liter turbocharged direct injection engine was predicted to be both a blessing and a curse for aftermarket part manufacturers. A blessing in that the motor itself and fuel system have evolved to be more robust than the first generation 2.0, but a curse with the higher degree of programming difficulty due to more advanced encryption. In essence, it is more tunable but harder to tune. Considering these changes, we wanted to test how adept some aftermarket manufacturers are at meeting the challenge and how much better the second generation 2.0 TSI responds to aftermarket parts. Our earlier Proven with the first generation 2.0 required fuel system upgrades (fuel pumps and injectors) in order to produce decent power. In theory the second gen should be easier to squeeze power out of-throw on a turbo and some supporting mods and voila-instant power. We shall see.

Sunoco 260 GT Plus 104 octane 5-gallon can
The GTI was equipped with 18-inch BFG g-Force T/A KDW tires and from a standstill they were able to grip the asphalt and propel the GTI forward. First gear disappeared instantly; in the blink of an eye I found myself easily shifting to third. With a solid, smooth pull to redline even with the A/C on, there was no noticeable performance drop. In low speed, higher gear situations (a great test for power and torque), I hit the accelerator and the car was still able to pull solidly-the GTI passed with flying colors.
Sometimes when you drive a modded car, it's fast but doesn't really feel like it's fast. I now know why they wanted me to put on all the bells and whistles with the KO4. Now the car is giddy fast. When you floor it, the pit of your stomach drops a bit, and you find yourself giggling like a little schoolgirl.
The 104 octane and GIAC race program added another dimension to the GTI's already stellar performance, because let's face it: more power equals more fun.

'Teen Mom' Kailyn Lowry Secret Wedding Details Revealed
Yesterday we were over the moon excited over the news that Teen Mom star Kailyn Lowry and her long-term stud of a fiance Jose "Javi" Marroquin got hitched in a secret ceremony. It's about time these crazy kids tied the knot, especially with Javi headed off for the Air Force. Alongside her son, Isaac, 3, they make the most adorable family!
Although we don't know too much about the hushed nuptials, details about their tiny ceremony are starting to emerge and we're amped!
Check 'em out, here:
1. The wedding was VERY small: The couple had a super small, no-frills ceremony at an Allentown, Pennsylvania courthouse.
2. They've been married for months: Crazy how this never got out! The couple has actually been married since September! Way to keep this one under wraps you two.
3. Kailyn wore a simple white dress and jewelry: Looking beautiful while keeping things low-key, Kailyn opted for a high-neck white sundress with a thin belt and a silver, large-face watch. She kept her hair pinned back out of her face.
4. They drove away in their Jeep: With a "Just Married!" message on the back, the couple left the courthouse happy as could be in their blue chariot.
5. There will be a bigger ceremony to come: Kailyn told In Touch that the couple will be having a big wedding in the fall once Javi comes back home. Apparently Javi has a huge family and has had NO trouble at all picking out seven groomsmen. Holy WOW!
Are you happy about Kailyn and Javi's big news?

I liked her the first season and then I couldn't stand her. I like her the least out of any of them. She is so needy and treats people so bad. She is also a big ol' whiner. I don't see this marriage lasting. :/

Monday gossip roundup: Lady Gaga takes a vow of silence
Lady Gaga is looking to keep her mouth shut for a while, she reveals in an interview with Oprah Winfrey. "Other than this interview, Oprah, I do not intend to speak to anyone for a very long time," the pop star says. And it looks like she's not going to be listening to a lot either: "The latest thing I do is I don't read a damn thing," Gaga says. "No press, no television. If my mom calls and says, 'Did you hear about?' I don't want to know nothing about anything that is going on in relation to music. I shut it all off."
With her baby due any day now, Jessica Simpson held a lavish baby shower at her home this weekend, with family and friends like sister Ashlee Simpson, Ellen Pompeo and Jessica Alba in attendance, according to Us Weekly. "It was a kid-friendly shower, with many of her friends bringing babies," a source says. "She received tons of gifts mostly wrapped in pink gift wrap and boxes. There were several books, stuffed toys and clothes among other items."
A little more than a month since her mom, Whitney Houston, passed away, Bobbi Kristina Brown is reportedly engaged to Nick Gordon, the man raised as a son by Houston, according to People magazine. "Yes, they are engaged, but the family is trying to coax her away from it," a source says, while second source confirms that "Nick asked Krissi about a week ago to marry him." Brown has been spotted sporting a diamond ring that is believed to have belonged to her mom.
Gwyneth Paltrow is taking the New York Times for task over reporting that she'd worked with a ghostwriter for "My Father's Daughter," a cookbook she released last year. "Love The New York Times dining section but this week's facts need checking. No ghostwriter on my cookbook, I wrote every word myself," Paltrow posted to Twitter in response to an article that named Julia Turshen as the book's uncredited collaborator. The article even stated that Turshen is "writing a second cookbook with Gwyneth Paltrow after their collaboration on 'My Father's Daughter.'"
While her public feud with Michael Bay might have cost her a role in the last "Transformers" film, Megan Fox earned at least one new supporter: her "Friends with Kids" co-star, Chris O'Dowd. "Who wouldn't have a fallout with [Bay]?" O'Dowd tells the Toronto Sun. "It's one of the sexist things I've ever seen. She called him an a–hole. Well, he is a f—ing a–hole. She's not the only one who has said that. Why has she been singled out?" One difference between Fox and O'Dowd, though? O'Dowd wouldn't work with Bay in the first place. "I would never f—ing watch his films, never mind go and act in them," he says.
After one season on the Oprah Winfrey Network, Rosie O'Donnell's new talk show is getting the boot, Winfrey announced. "I thank Rosie from the bottom of my heart for joining me on this journey. She has been an incredible partner, working to deliver the best possible show every single day," Winfrey said in a statement. "As I have learned in the last 15 months, a new network launch is always a challenge and ratings grow over time as you continue to gather an audience. I'm grateful to Rosie and the dedicated 'Rosie Show' team for giving it their all." The show's last episode tapes today and will air March 30.

Languedoc & Provence Sun N°52 (July-August-September 2014)
You may have noticed that this issue covers the months of July, August and September. After much debate, discussions and sleepless nights, we have decided that the best way forward for Languedoc & Provence SUN would be to become a quarterly publication. In practice, this means that the magazine will now be published four times a year instead of six, each issue covering 3 months.
The main objective of the magazine has always been to provide quality articles and content about our region and its many attributes. Going quarterly will give us more time to research potential articles, interview interesting people, meet new contributors and gather topical and useful information for you our readers.
This new version will have more pages than the previous one, allowing us to increase the content of each issue, giving you more reading material in one piece.
You may have become familiar with our regular contributors, who do a fantastic job. I take this opportunity to thank them warmly for their valuable input and great imagination, whatever the topic. If you have a little bit of spare time occasionally and share our love of writing, I'm always on the lookout for good quality articles about our area: it could just be your own story, or the portrait of someone you know, a beautiful place, an interesting festival. Whatever the idea, let
me know about it, our next contributor could be you!
If you have any comments or suggestions, you can always email me. In the meantime, I hope you keep on reading the magazine; the kind comments we receive always make all the hard work worthwhile. Have a nice holiday!

Organic Farming vs. Conventional Farming: Why do you favour one over the other?
I have a background in commercial agriculture - namely tree fruits, and more recentley vegetables and berries - and now work in pesticide research and integrated pest management programs. I'd like to know what people think of the organic vs conventional farming debate - this means what you believe the word "organic farming" entails, what you think the problems with either system are, what your opinions on pesticides are (organic and synthetic), and if you have ever heard of Integrated Pest Management (IPM for short). If you feel comfortable, I'd like to know if you have an agricultural background or not when you are sharing your opinions - this way we might be able to see where any divides might occur. I'd like to limit this to a debate/conversation that does not include GMOs (although I'm sure it'll come up, as it always seems to find a way into these sorts of conversations), as that is an entirely different topic. Let's hear some passion! But try not to attack others opinions, let's use this as a learning platform as it is meant to be!
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Feb 19 2012: I like "organic farming", but really what I like is local farming. It will not supply for the global demand, but it will supplement it, and provide jobs for people in cities who like to work in the earth. Hydroponic farming, is an entertaining notion to me, especially when combined with a sustainable energy source.
I live in Los Angeles, CA, and we get a lot of sun, I'd like to see us build the worlds tallest building, a giant warehouse farm. Such ideas would certainly require less pesticides, but i'm not against pesticides 100 percent, they are necessary. Making them as harmless to children as possible of course, is a good idea. A few of the ones still in use have to be very well washed I believe. I am just a consumer though.
I also just want to mention, that people are allowed to believe what they want... Some people don't like chemicals, so there is a market for organic fruit. It probably won't disappear, but I don't think it will replace conventional farming. I think when people say organic, what they are really thinking, is as healthy and natural as possible.
Feb 19 2012: I wholeheartedly agree with you!
The only problem I have is that people believe that organic is chemical free - it most certainly isn't. Sure some small operations will not use chemicals (and that's where your buying local comes in! - 'organic' you buy in a grocery store will not be chemical free). In fact, the very low residual levels of organic-rated pesticides means that the growers must reapply again to get protection. If somebody wants natural - that's fine with me, but I have a problem when people try to push organic as healthier and better for the environment. Some of their practices are extremely detrimental to water sources... and it does very crop-to-crop, but for example applying manure to their crops is a huge contamination source.
I'm sorry if this seemed pushy - I know I got on a bit of a rant for a few days there - and I really appreciate the response! When I wrote all this I was really only trying to spur some conversation on the topic because I know that people generally have a misunderstanding of what it means to be 'organic' as far as commercial practices go - and it just really got to me at the time, and wanted to try to share what I know of the industry. I have extended family members and know unrelated growers that are organic, and some of the mixtures that are considered 'organic' are probably much more toxic than what a conventional grower would apply. Actually, one of my colleagues told me that she avoids buying organic fruits and vegetables because she doesn't trust the chemicals and mixtures that are applied to organic crops.
Like I said I don't really have a problem with buying organic fruits and veggies - but my problem comes from the industry leading people to believe that it is something it is not. I know people want as 'healthy and natural' as possible - as do I!
Feb 19 2012: Oh, and IPM (Integrated Pest Management), which is what I truly am a believer and supporter of above all else, can and is applied to both conventional and organic operations!
Thank you for the response, I'm glad that someone else shared their thoughts on this, and I'm so happy to hear about the local support - that is the best way, regardless of whether you are more supportive of conventional or organic
Feb 27 2012: Ive been eating 100% organic for almost a year and i feel much better. I have much more energy than i used to and i look noticeably healthier. I know poor people cant afford organic and thats sad that they are the ones who have to suffer from the diseases associated with conventional agriculture. It is worth the extra 10-20% that they charge in the markets because you will save money from not having to undergo cancer treatments in the future and the more its supported, the cheaper it will become. I am not just a organic farmer but a farm owner. I know people like Jesse have to find a way to feel good about what they are doing but i grow veggies without using pesticides and i never have problems. Read a book called: 'The Soil and Health', if you are interested in how to naturally eliminate all pest and plant disease problems before buying into this idea that people need pesticides.
Feb 27 2012: I'm not trying to feel good about myself Daniel - my program is aimed at reducing pesticide use through the use of other control methods, however as of yet we haven't been able to justify pesticde bans. Part of my program is the health side - we overspray (more times than the label, at higher concentrations) and then sample the fruit/veggies/beans/whatever and send them off to a lab (and this is after the Pre-Harvest Interval, at which point a grower is not permitted to apply chemicals to their crop). It must still come in at at the very least 100-1000X below the MRL (maximum residue levels - the point at which POTENTIALLY someone could START to feel any side effect at all).
My program is aimed at reducing risks to both consumers and the environment, while still giving growers ways to control pest injury to their crops. Please tell me what part of my job it is that you don't approve of?
Feb 27 2012: Sorry - that's if they ate the fruit before the chemical had time to break down - this, for example, is if we sprayed and harvested in the same day - which does not happen because commercial growers legally have to follow the label and the pre-harvest intervals, etc. And it still has to meet regulations as if it were to go to shelf immediately after being sprayed - no washes, no time to break down, etc. This is true in both Canada and the USA (Minor Use Program and the IR-4 programs, respectively).
Mar 5 2012: David - I thought you might be interested in this news article that I was shown on greenhouse growing which fits in perfectly with your mention of building 'greenhouse skyscrapers'

A lot of folks unwittingly -- and repeatedly -- make misguided money decisions based upon well-intentioned beliefs.
This guest post comes from Len Penzo at Len Penzo dot Com.
The other day I was at the gas station and I observed a soccer mom topping off the tank of her bright yellow Hummer.
Thunk. Thunk, thunk, thunk. Thunk. Thunk, thunk. Thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk.
Oh, brother.
Maybe I am being a bit snooty, but I find that kind of behavior extremely annoying, not to mention just a wee bit ignorant. Don't you?
Readers share unbelievably dense comments about personal finance they've heard. Got any to add?
Talk about your latte factor! Smart Spending message board reader "AmberStorck" was told it would be silly to shell out 30 whole bucks for a coffee machine when you could just buy a cup for $3.50 at Starbucks.
Or how about this one: "I never redeem rewards points. It's just a waste of money."
Or: "I can't ride the bus because I don't know how." (Did this person fail "sitting down" in kindergarten?)
2010 sees home prices sink by $1.7 trillion. Falling taxes deprive communities of crucial services.
This post comes from Marilyn Lewis of MSN Money.
Since housing values started plummeting in 2006, the U.S. housing market has lost almost $9 trillion -- enough to fund 12 Iraq wars. That's the news from researchers at Zillow, the online real estate marketplace.
A big chunk of that loss -- $1.7 trillion -- was shed in 2010 alone.
"That's 63% more than the $1 trillion in value that homes lost last year," The Wall Street Journal points out.
More employers plan to reward workers with gifts, bonuses and parties. But some are more generous than others.
All 12,400 employees of Ikea US got a bicycle from their employer as a holiday gift this year.
Meanwhile, Googlers (that's what employees of Google are called) are getting a $1,000 Christmas bonus -- and that's after the notably generous employer picks up the taxes on the gift. (Other employers take note: Googlers are getting a pay raise of at least 10% next year too.)
What's in store for the rest of us -- at least those of us who are on a company payroll?
With constant updates on social media, who needs an end-of-year message? Yet some folks see hope for paper cards.
Back, oh, about a decade ago, I found the perfect holiday cards. But then I got busy, and I never sent them, so I put them away for next year. Next year came, and the next, and those cards are still sitting in a closet somewhere.
Sound familiar?
Between your excuses and mine, fewer people are sending Christmas cards. Holiday greetings on paper haven't yet gone the way of white gloves, but they are getting less popular, particularly among younger people. Some people, to save money or save paper, send e-mail greetings instead.
Chocolate, digital music, ammo and lots of your other favorite things have become more expensive in 2011.
Updated: May 19, 2011, 8:30 a.m. ET
This post comes from Beth Pinsker at dealnews.com.
The cost of technology goes down steadily, making HDTVs and Blu-ray players today a much better deal than they were a year ago. It's too bad that most other things rise in price.
Here's a list of 10 things that cost more this year than they did in 2010:
Online merchants are offering lots of shipping deals this year. More than 1,100 will be part of Free Shipping Day.
I ordered some custom-printed items the other day. When it came time to check out, the company wanted $16.95 for shipping. I had a coupon that would give me 25% off the purchase price or free shipping, but not both. I wanted both.
I dropped by the website FreeShipping.org and found a separate free shipping coupon. I got 25% off plus free shipping.
This may be the year of the free shipping wars. But if, like me, you find that every merchant is offering free shipping except the one you want to order from, you may want to wait for Free Shipping Day, which is Dec. 17.
RadioShack makes it possible this week, but there are conditions.
This post comes from Matt Brownell at partner site MainStreet.
The iPhone 4 came out earlier this year, and it's still a hot enough product that you'll have a hard time getting it for less than $200 with a new or renewed contract. But RadioShack earlier this week announced it will be offering it for just $25.
Are there conditions? You bet there are conditions.

1. Sealing deadly court files:
In the wake of continuing disclosures about General Motors' failure to acknowledge critical safety issues related to faulty ignition switches, there's a looming issue that has not been addressed: How litigation settlements negotiated by private parties can result in court-sanctioned cover-ups that endanger the public.
We now know that there were several cases in which the families of people who died in crashes after ignition switches failed quietly received cash settlements from GM.
In return for the cash, the plaintiffs not only promised to withhold the settlement details but also agreed with GM that the court files would be sealed. In some cases, those sealed records included documents and transcripts of pre-trial deposition testimony that contained evidence gathered about the dangers of the faulty switches.
As this editorial in USA Today points out, "Outrageous as it sounds, such secrecy is routine. Powerful companies and institutions regularly suppress information about public risks, ranging from incompetent doctors to abusive priests to defective products."
One reason the secrecy is "routine" is that both parties involved benefit. The plaintiff -- and the plaintiffs' lawyers -- get a quick cash payout. The defendant gets the case killed without the bad publicity and the wave of suits that could come from a public trial, let alone an adverse jury verdict.

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ (WTAQ) - The bye week did wonders for the defending Super Bowl champions, as the New York Giants dismantled the Green Bay Packers 38-10 in an NFC title game re-match Sunday night at Met Life Stadium.
Both teams traded touchdowns early in the 1st quarter, but that's when the Giants (7-4) kicked it into a higher gear as they dominated both lines of scrimmage and forced Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers to turn the ball over twice. Rodgers was also sacked 5 times.
Giants quarterback Eli Manning finished 16-of-30 for 249 yards and 3 TD's.
The loss snapped the Packers five-game winning streak, while the Giants ended a two-game slide.
Get a full recap with Mark Daniels and Nick Vitrano on the 5th Quarter, Monday at 5 p.m. exclusively on 97.5/1360 News Talk WTAQ.
