AMES, Iowa — There are many things such as temperature, moisture, rain, wind and the availability of sunlight that impact the quality of fall color – but having the right trees, shrubs, vines and perennials will add to colors in the home landscape each fall. Horticulturists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach point out types of trees and plants that have colorful fall foliage. To have additional questions answered, contact the Hortline at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 515-294-3108.
Shade trees that possess excellent fall foliage include Freeman maple (Acer x freemanii), Norway maple (Acer platanoides), red maple (Acer rubrum), sugar maple (Acer saccharum), white oak (Quercus alba), red oak (Quercus rubra) and black gum (Nyssa sylvatica). Freeman maples are hybrids of red and silver maples. Their leaves vary from orange to red in fall. Widely sold Freeman maples include Celebration®, Autumn Blaze® and Sienna Glen®. Easy Street™, 'Emerald Queen' and Parkway® are Norway maple cultivars with yellow fall foliage. The red maple cultivars Red Sunset® and Redpointe™ have dark red foliage in fall.
Sugar maples are native to eastern Iowa. Their fall foliage varies from yellow to orange to reddish orange. 'Commemoration,' 'Legacy' and Fall Fiesta™ are excellent sugar maple cultivars.
In fall, the foliage of white oaks is often reddish brown, while red oaks have wine red foliage. Black gums are not widely grown in Iowa. They are somewhat difficult to transplant and prefer moist, well-drained, acidic soils (pH 6.0 to 6.5). However, the black gum possesses outstanding fall foliage. Its foliage is often bright red in fall. Other possibilities include 'Moraine' sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciflua 'Moraine') with foliage that varies from yellow to red to purple, yellowwood (Cladrastis kentukea) with yellow fall foliage and ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) cultivars 'Autumn Gold' and 'The President' with golden yellow fall color.
Several deciduous shrubs have colorful fall foliage. The winged euonymus or burning bush (Euonymus alatus) has red foliage in fall. The fall foliage of fothergilla (Fothergilla spp.) varies from yellow to orange to red. Common witchhazel (Hamamelis virginiana) has yellow leaves in fall. In autumn, the foliage of Virginia sweetspire (Itea virginica) varies from yellow to orange to reddish purple. Spicebush (Lindera benzoin), staghorn sumac (Rhus typhina) and blackhaw viburnum (Viburnum prunifolium) have yellow, red and reddish purple foliage respectively.
Most perennials are grown for their colorful flowers. However, several perennials have attractive fall foliage.
Perennials with yellow foliage in fall include blue star (Amsonia spp.), balloon flower (Platycodon spp.), hosta (Hosta spp.) and monkshood (Aconitum spp.). The sensitive fern (Onoclea sensibilis) and royal fern (Osmunda regalis) also develop yellow fall color. The foliage of pigsqueak (Bergenia cordifolia) often turns burgundy red in fall. The foliage of many hardy geraniums (Geranium spp.) is yellow, orange, red or purple in autumn.
Several ornamental grasses also have striking fall color. Switchgrass (Panicum spp.) cultivars with colorful fall foliage include 'Rehbraun' (reddish brown), 'Rotstrahlbusch' (burgundy red) and 'Prairie Fire' (wine red). In fall, Miscanthus cultivars 'Purpurascens' and 'November Sunset' have orange-red and golden orange foliage respectively. Little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) has yellow to burnt orange fall color. Big bluestem cultivar 'Blaze' has orange to reddish purple fall color, while 'Blue Heaven' develops a burgundy red color in autumn.
Vines for fall color include Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), Boston ivy (Parthenocissus tricuspidata) and American bittersweet (Celastrus scandens). Virginia creeper is native to Iowa. It's palmately compound leaves turn purple-red to crimson red in fall. The autumn foliage on Boston ivy varies from yellow to orange to red. Virginia creeper and Boston ivy are woody vines that climb objects via adhesive-tipped tendrils. American bittersweet is also native to Iowa. It's leaves turn yellow in fall. Female plants also possess attractive reddish orange fruit clusters in fall. American bittersweet is a twining woody vine.

Re: Few Questions - Thinking about buying an ATS
Going to start the long process either next week or week after .. Going to test drive the heck out of it and work as many dealerships as I can to get the best deal ... Next, decision is whether to lease or not but first I want to decide if the ATS is what I am looking for ... I love the way it looks ... Anyone have one that has
issues with interior quality or quality overall or is car the real thing?

Re: Few Questions - Thinking about buying an ATS
that is great to hear ... thanks!
Hi there . I have the ATS luxury 2.5 I4, with the CUE AMD brembo brakes & 225/45R17 tires/rims(rims are machine polished aluminium w clear coat) and metallic blue. It is a looker.
Don't get the 2.0 ltr turbo it use premium gas instead of regular and the mpg is not much different. Just about 70 up difference. But really you cannot tell the difference when your driving.
Good luck on your choice. This car has chance my mind about GM, I used to be a Honda guy, this is my second Cadillac in 4 yrs.
Reply to your last post.
It's the real deal, I'm enjoying every single mile I'm setting in this car. But isn't perfect. Some minor quality & fit issues inside & out. Not noticeable at first but they are there. Like the crime around the windows is not perfectly align, some bad switching in the seats, body paint not apply evenly.
Don't get me wrong, just my O C D acting out.
I was going to lease but the dealer a got mine from let Mr take the model I wanted for the weekend, not thevsamr color forfeiture but mechanically the same. So I finance the purchase.
Great choice made, I can see this being a classic in 30 yrs from now.

Re: Few Questions - Thinking about buying an ATS
The base 2.5L is a solid engine and puts of perfectly acceptable power for day-to-day use. It's also the most economical unit. I still stick by the opinion that the 2.0T is the best compromise of power and economy for this chassis however. Be interested to hear what you think after a test drive.
Oh, and in terms of interior quality - I actually like the ATS interior the most out of all the cars in its segment. The Mercedes has too many buttons and dials, the BMW 3-series is nice (but too minimalist for my tastes), and the Audi A4 felt like sitting in someone's old 1980's Casio wrist watch... Really feel that GM nailed the interior quality thing with the ATS, at least for my own personal preference.
Hi hohums, I agree with in regards to the other vehicles.
Just want thing though, in my opinion if a vehicle recommends 87 oct. You use it and if it recommends to use 91 oct you use it. Even though you may not notice the difference, but it will prevent knocking for one.
Also remember your warranty, if something were to happen to the the fuel,emission systems and engine ,you may not be be cover because the "recommendations" were not followed.
I owned a 07 srx4, it recommends mobil1 oil, it's expensive and have use it since day one, even now that warranty had expired I'm still using it, & have not had any issues. Just my opinion!.
Yes I test drove all the 3 different engines, yes 2ltr is very good but for me 2.5 ltr met my needs.

Re: Few Questions - Thinking about buying an ATS
Yup and I completely agree that following the recommendations is the way to go. My point was just that, unlike one of the German sedans, it's not actually required to run 91 octane. It's a selling feature that you don't actually require it to run the car, so I doubt they would invalidate the warranty over that. All that said though, I put 91 Oct in my 2.0T and it runs great

Hi everyone
Does anyone has an ATS with the Brembo brakes options.
Want to here what you think.
In my opinion they complete the driving dynamics of the ATS.

Re: Few Questions - Thinking about buying an ATS
Too lazy to quote...
It is my understanding that the difference between 87 and 91 in the turbo is a HP gain with the 91, not an MPG gain. I can't remember the numbers off the top of my head.

2.0T manual RWD checkin in!
its a phenomenal car, me being a student I couldn't/shouldn't have gotten the upper trims, but this car is seriously a blast.
RWD, Stick, Limited slip diff, great sound system (IMHO) BEAUTIFUL lookin car, the 2.0T f***'n hustles, sublime chassis, Brembo brakes!!(standard on the 2.0) ... I could go on and on but it truly is a great car and I love it more and more each time I drive it.
I dont have factory HID's but I'm over it, I ordered aftermarket ones, so no big deal.
if you can get a good deal/decent lease rate just do it, seriously, you wont be disappointed, and if you're into tuning at all, the LTG really is an angry beast, its just, chained down from the factory
** oh and desmar, the Brembo's are perfect, engage high and grab like a vise, I LOVE them
Hey stevo supremo, you r rite this car is a blast, handles like in rails & stops like you just and imaginary wall.
Regarding trims levels they all r great. Is whether u want pickles or bacon or all the trimmings in ur burger. Is ur choice.

I am very pleased to recognize Political Science Professor Dr. Bin Yu as the 2013-2014 Wittenberg University Laatsch Faculty Scholar. This marks the second time that he has been honored with the award, having also received it in 2006.
Professor Bin Yu joined the Wittenberg faculty in 1991. He has spent his time investing in the Political Science Department as well as East Asian Studies. His next book will be published in 2014, The Transition from Western Sovietology to Russianology. In the last two years, Dr. Yu has published 17 articles, chapters and monographs. He also plays a broader role as public intellectual. He is currently a research professor at the Army War College, where he is sharing his knowledge and expertise about Asia. He is a board member of Foreign Policy Observer in Beijing, China and previously developed the student exchange program between Wittenberg and Fudan University in Shanghai. Additionally, he has served as an expert to dozens of news organizations from many countries, including the BBC, public radio and Chinese news outlets. With his attempts to bridge the divide between academia and the broader public, and his extensive travel and outreach efforts, Professor Bin Yu is the model recipient of this honor.
Named for Melvin Henry Laatsch (1905-1974), Professor Emeritus of Political Science, this endowment was funded during our Defining Moments Campaign by a group of scholars and friends in recognition of the important influence Dr. Laatsch had on hundreds of students during his 30-year Wittenberg career. Names and accomplishments of potential recipients are turned over to the Provost each year by Political Science Department faculty, based on excellence in scholarship and teaching by one of their colleagues. The honoree also receives a professional development award of $2,500 from the Laatsch endowment.
Please join me in once again congratulating Dr. Yu on his selection as this year's Laatsch Faculty Scholar.

An advantage of the Hogue slip on grip is it may provide a better non-slip surface on the grip for better control. If it has finger indexing, this may also help. IMO, it will not reduce recoil. However, if you are able to better control the firearm you may perceive the recoil as being less. Make sure you are using the proper grip and form. Proper grip and form will help a lot with handling recoil and controlling muzzle flip.
I believe Taurus specifies what types of ammo should be used in their titanium revolvers. Certain bullet weights and powder charges can have an adverse affect on the titanium parts.

text: Shoot 50 rounds of hot 124 grain nato ammo, leave the slide locked back for a couple of days and make sure you clean and lube it especially the barrel where it rotates and the top inside of the slide. If that doesn't make it 100% than the recoil spring is gonna be the problem. Your new spring is the one w/ the compressed coils in the middle right? Are you shooting PMC bronze by any chance? I'd stick w/ WWB until the recoil spring breaks in as well. Probably not the issue but the compact has an ambi slide release, your not riding your hands up high are you?

NH group wants 'R' rating for movies showing heavy drinking
By SHAWNE K. WICKHAM
New Hampshire Sunday News | June 02. 2013 12:24AM
Now researchers at Dartmouth-Hitchcock's Norris Cotton Cancer Center say those ratings should also take depictions of alcohol use into consideration.
Elaina Bergamini is the lead author of the study, "Trends in Tobacco and Alcohol Brand Placements in Popular U.S. Movies, 1996 through 2009," published last week in the journal JAMA Pediatrics.
Meanwhile, brand placement for alcohol is still self-regulated. And the study found that alcohol brand placement has "increased significantly in movies rated acceptable for youth audiences, a trend that could have implications for teen drinking."
Bergamini said the Norris Cotton study group started out looking at cancer-risk behavior. And while its focus was on tobacco research, they also recorded data on movie depictions of alcohol, sex, violence and drugs.
About two-thirds of those top-100 movies in the study were rated G, PG or PG-13. And it turned out that 63 percent of all alcohol brand appearances were in youth-rated films.
She contends alcohol companies are intentionally inserting their brands into movies that youngsters will see.
Bergamini says both the movie and alcohol industries have a responsibility to regulate what kids see.
And she would like to see the MPAA give movies with a lot of drinking an R rating, meaning anyone under 17 has to be accompanied by a parent or guardian. "And what that ends up doing is it pushes back on the movie creators to trim some of that alcohol out," she said.

September 22
Tahoe City, California
Q & A with the Bride:
1. What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
The fenced-in outdoor lawn and stately pine trees. It was also two blocks from Skylandia Park, which is a Tahoe City Public Park with Lake Tahoe as a backdrop.
2. Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
Our DIY bunting flags, our DIY programs and menu cards, courtesy of my sister & maid of honor, and our cupcakes and macarons instead of a traditional wedding cake.
3. Give us the one moment from your wedding day that you cannot stop thinking about.
Exchanging our vows with each other! We had each selected our own vows and waited to share them until our wedding ceremony. We were both very overwhelmed with emotion and tears of happiness came pouring out!

hello everybody,
I'm a 26 girl and this year someone has given to me a great opportunity: teaching English! But I'm afraid because it's my first time and I don't know how to make my pupils love the language. moreover I'm very worried about my English because I still make errors with the grammar and in speaking. Furtermore in my classroom there is a girl coming from USA, so she knows the language better than me!!!
my questions are:
1. which are the best exercises to use to check the real student's knowledge of English?
2. How can improve my language staying here?
3. How can I manage with the American girl?
my clssroom is the fourth year of an high secondary school
Thank you very much for your help

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
The differences are caused by a microbe called yeast, pictured here. Yeast is a kind of fungus. If you open up a package of baker's yeast bought from the supermarket and sprinkle some out, you'll see tiny brownish grains. These are clumps of dehydrated yeast cells (dehydrated means most of the water has been removed). Let them sit there for a while and watch them and you'll soon get bored. They don't exactly do much, do they? But put them in bread dough and after a while you can definitely see that they must be doing something. But what exactly are they doing?
You'll find out in this activity in which you'll make your own bread dough. Print out these pages and follow the directions to do this activity at home. When you're done, come back to this page to test your newfound knowledge by answering the questions at the end. (No fair peeking at the answers before you do the activity!)
Note: This activity can be done within one hour, though you could stretch it over a few hours if you wish, depending on how many different sweeteners you want to try.
1. Using the ruler, measure the point 3 centimeters from one end of each straw and mark that point with a line using the permanent marker.
2. Put ¼ cup of flour into each of your bowls. Mark the first bowl as the "Control." Mark the others as 1, 2, and 3. (Just imagine that the dough in the illustration below is in four separate bowls.)
3. Measure 1 teaspoon of sugar and add it to the flour in the bowl marked 1. Put 2 teaspoons of sugar into bowl 2. Put 3 teaspoons of sugar into bowl 3.
4. Pour ¼ of a package of yeast (or ¼ teaspoon) into each of the four bowls. Using the spoon, stir together the ingredients in each bowl starting with the Control bowl.5. Fill a cup with warm water from your faucet. The water should be warm, not hot and steaming. Dust your hands with a little flour. Carefully add the water to the Control bowl about a teaspoonful at a time and begin to knead the mixture. Your dough should eventually feel kind of like Play-Doh—it should be damp, not wet, it'll be sticky at first, but should eventually reach a point where it's just damp enough that it no longer really sticks to the bowl or your hands. If it's too sticky still, add a little bit more flour. Form the dough into a ball.
6. Repeat step 5 with each of the remaining bowls, working as quickly as you can. (If you have friends or classmates or parents helping out, each person should take a bowl and everyone should do step 5 at the same time.)
7. Working quickly, push three straws into the Control dough until the dough inside the straw reaches the 3-centimeter mark. Lay these straws by the Control bowl. Repeat this step with each of the remaining bowls. Be sure to keep the straws beside the right bowls and don't mix them up. (Again, if you've got more people working with you on this activity, each person should take a ball of dough and everyone should do this step all at the same time.)
8. Now pinch the bottoms of each of your Control dough straws, pushing the dough up from the bottom enough to clip a clothespin to the end of each straw. Mark the new height of the dough on each straw. Stand the straws upright using the clothespins as bases. Do the same with the rest of the straws. Label the batches of straws as Control, 1, 2 and 3.
9. Mark the time on your clock or watch or set your timer for 10 minutes. Wait 10 minutes. Then measure and mark the heights of the dough in each straw and record these heights and the time in your notebook. Repeat this step 10 minutes later. Repeat after another 10 minutes has passed.
10. During the 10-minute intervals while waiting for the dough in the straws to do its thing, discard your first batches of dough from each bowl and wash the bowls out. Dry them thoroughly. Be sure to keep an eye on the clock while you're doing this so that you don't miss the 10-minute deadline to check and measure your straws.
11. Repeat the dough making process only this time use a different kind of sweetener than sugar. Repeat the steps of filling and marking the straws. Label the new batch of straws and set them away from your first batch. Repeat the process of measuring the dough height in the straws at 10-minute intervals and recording the results in your notebook. Be sure to record the heights of this new batch of straws separately from the first batch.
12. Graph your results. First, calculate the average final height for each set of three straws in your first batch. Make a bar graph showing these average heights with the number of teaspoons of sugar (0, 1, 2, 3) on the horizontal axis and the height in centimeters on the vertical axis. Make a similar bar graph for your second batch of straws. See the sample graph on the right.
13. Throw away all the straws when you're done. You might want to save the clothespins for another project in the future. Discard the dough in the bowls and wash them out. Clean up any spilled flour, sugar or yeast.
This experiment is based on an activity developed by the National Association of Biology Teachers.

Specially formulated to kill tough invasive weeds & brush.
CUT-Carefully cut the two white zip ties securing the hose and pump handle with scissors. Use caution not to cut the white hose.
CONNECT- Unwind the hose. Firmly push the connector at the end of the hose into the spout on the pump until it locks into place.
EXTEND WAND- Lift sprayer wand off bottle. Push the yellow button while pulling out on the wand nozzle tip. Fully extend the wand until the yellow button snaps into the "SPRAY" position. NOTE: white trigger will not function until the wand is fully extended and the yellow button is fully visible in the "SPRAY" position.
PUMP- Make sure the handle is screwed on TIGHTLY or the bottle will not pressurize. Pump the handle 15 -20 times to pressurize the bottle. A full bottle requires fewer pumps than a half full bottle. Pumping to the higher range will provide longer sprayer duration. After pumping, push pump down & turn handle clockwise to lock into carrying position. NOTE: This bottle is designed to expand under pressure & cannot be over-pressurized.
SPRAY- Aim wand. Spray by pushing down the white trigger with your thumb. Adjust spray pattern by rotating the white nozzle tip one half rotation. Spray weeds until thoroughly wet.
STORE- When finished spraying, push the yellow button and push wand until the yellow button snaps back into the original storage position. Place the wand back onto the bottle with the nozzle facing down.
DEPRESSURIZE- Push pump handle all the way down and turn pump handle and cap counter-clockwise to relieve pressure, then re-tighten prior to storing.
ENTERY- People and pets may enter treated areas after spray has dried.
Any time weeds are actively growing. Works best when there is little to no wind, temperature is above 60° & it's sunny.
Whenever weeds are actively growing.
Apply to the leaves of weeds in areas such as along fence lines, sidewalks, patios, mulch areas, recreational areas, and more. Remember Roundup is so effective that it will kill grasses too so it should NOT be used to spot treat in your lawn.
Do not spray plants or grasses that you like - they will die. Do not use for vegetable garden preparation or in and around fruits and vegetables.
Covers up to 400 sq. ft.
People and pets many enter treated area after spray has dried. Glyphosate targets an enzyme found in plants but not people or pets.
To protect the environment, do not allow pesticide to enter or run off into storm drains, drainage ditches, gutters or surface waters. Applying this product when rain is not predicted for the next 24 hours will help to ensure that rain does not wash pesticide off the treatment area.

That stardom came courtesy of a fateful meeting with Evan Rogers. The New Yorker was vacationing in Barbados with his wife, a native of the island, when he was introduced to Rihanna. Rogers had spent years producing pop hits for such superstars as *NSYNC, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson, and Rod Stewart, and he offered the talented Rihanna a chance to record. Along with Rogers' production partner, Carl Sturken (the other half of Syndicated Rhythm Productions), Rihanna recorded several demos that sparked the interest of the Carter Administration -- that is, the newly appointed Def Jam president Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter. This led to an audition, and Rihanna both received and accepted an on-the-spot offer to sign with Def Jam.
Come summer 2005, Def Jam rolled out "Pon de Replay," the lively leadoff single from Music of the Sun. Produced almost entirely by Rogers and Sturken, the song synthesized Caribbean rhythms with urban-pop songwriting. "Pon de Replay" caught fire almost immediately, climbing all the way to number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and contesting that summer's reign of Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together" atop the chart. The debut album spawned one other hit, "If It's Lovin' That You Want," which also broke the Top 40. Rihanna's follow-up effort, A Girl Like Me, saw even greater success and spawned three sizable singles: a chart-topper ("S.O.S.") and two Top Ten hits ("Unfaithful," "Break It Off").
Rihanna's third album, 2007's Good Girl Gone Bad, continued her success while signaling a change of direction. Good Girl Gone Bad was a first-rate dance-pop album, stacked with several chart-topping singles and boasting collaborations with Jay-Z, Ne-Yo, Timbaland, and StarGate. The lead single, "Umbrella," shot to number one, as did "Take a Bow" and "Disturbia." Its success turned Rihanna into one of the planet's biggest pop stars.
Rated R was released in 2009 during the wake of a physical altercation with romantic interest Chris Brown, who pleaded guilty to felony assault. The album's lead single, "Russian Roulette" -- written with Ne-Yo -- was one of the year's most controversial singles, and it set the tone for the singer's new, dark direction. Rated R peaked within the Top Five of the Billboard 200, while another one of its singles, "Rude Boy," topped the Hot 100. Rated R: Remixed was released in the spring of 2010 and featured ten tracks from the album revamped for the dancefloor by Chew Fu.
Loud, Rihanna's fifth studio album, followed in November and was led by the StarGate-produced "Only Girl (In the World)." That song, as well as the follow-up singles "What's My Name?" and "S&M," all topped the Billboard Hot 100. In November 2011, shortly after Loud's "Cheers (Drink to That)" entered the Top Ten, the singer released Talk That Talk. The single "We Found Love" with Calvin Harris earned the top spot in the Hot 100, and the album peaked at number three.
Unapologetic, Rihanna's seventh studio album, featured some of her brashest material and was led by "Diamonds" -- her 18th Top Ten single. Unapologetic became her first number one album, and eventually produced further Top Ten hits in "Stay" and "Jump." By the fall of 2013, another record had fallen: her feature on Eminem's "The Monster" helped it hit number one on the pop charts, tying her with Michael Jackson for the most chart-toppers in Billboard chart history. The song won a Grammy Award in the category of Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. In early 2015, Rihanna released "FourFiveSeconds," a stripped-down single featuring the unlikely duo of Kanye West and Paul McCartney. It topped the Hot 100 and was followed by the cruder "B**ch Better Have My Money," which led the way to Anti the following January. ~ Jason Birchmeier

One of two
I want to ask you.Between Razer Copperhead and Logitech G5 , which one is the better mouse for gaming and Adobe Photoshop?
Spot on man!!
Im glad your likeing the G5, and found the extra info valuable.
Ill be waitng to hear your more in depth review of the G5.
P.S. - You know, it wouldent hurt to register.
I have to say, it is superior to the Copperhead in every way I care about. While the middle button is still a bit inaccurate, the fact that the scroll tilt effectively adds 2 very good buttons more than makes up for it. (After one day of use, I seem to left scroll + middle click about 15-20% of the time when trying to middle click under no pressure, and much more often when mousing frantically.)
I will post my full thoughts on these two mice in a day or two. But my initital take is similar to yours: The G5 is a nice step forward from the 510, and is undeniably superior to the Copperhead. While Logitech did make some mistakes, they are definatley moving in the right direction and I have a lot of hope for their next gaming mouse.
I will say this about that.
if you ahte the 510...you will hate the G5.
The scroll wheel is harder to middle click on the G5 becuase it wants to "slip" to the side thanks to the side scroll. It takes a few days to get used to it unfortunately.
So beings that the middle mouse/scroll click was your biggest pet peve, stay away from teh G5.
Unfortuantely, the mouse you describe, i think its made of unobtanium.
And, off the top of my head, i cant think of any gaming mice that are worth beans that come close to teh features you want/need as a gamer. But ill be thinking.
Your comment really hits home because my current mouse *IS* in fact the original Mouseman Wheel that I pulled out of my junk drawer after breaking my last optical in a fit of rage. When I hooked it up I was friggen AMAZED at how good that old mouse felt (especially the PERFECT side button) and have been using it for months as even though it is a mechanical mouse. I have yet to see a mouse as well designed and can't fathom why all the new mice are so crap compared to this old design. I've bought and returned 3-4 mice since I switched to the mouseman but now I *really* need a new one as my wheel has finally lost 100% of its 'click' and is completely smooth scrolling like the idiotic MS mice.
So here's what I'm looking for, if anybody has any suggestions please give them:
A large, right handed design. At the very least, main buttons that can be clicked even if you let the tips of your fingers hang over the front edge of the mouse (ie: the MX 1000 and 510 are horrid in this regard since the main buttons are recessed so you cant click by pushing down on the front edge).
A good, clicky, scroll wheel that is close to the front of the mouse, and it easy to use as a button without being super careful about accidently scrolling. The 510 scroll wheel was great for accuracy (need 3 clicks to get to the weapon / quickbar / whatever you need to get to? no problem, you'll be able to achieve the right number of clicks with extreme quickness and 99% accuracy after just a day or two of using the mouse). However, the 510 scroll wheel was not easy for me to reach, and was recessed too much to use as a button effectively. Side scrolling would be a large bonus IF everything else is good. Two more easy to hit buttons is never a bad thing.
Good side buttons on the thumb side. My PERFECT design (remember, this is a large, righty mouse) would have 3 buttons on the thumb side, stacked VERTICALLY. The modern 2 button horizontal layout boggles my mind as the thumb naturally moves in the opposite direction and I'd much rather simply move my thumb a tiny bit up or down and press with whatever part of my thumb is comfortable for me than have to either bend my thumb or do a non intuitive 'back click' determine which button I want. I 'hold' the mouse with the base of my hand so accidently clicking a thumb button while mousing isn't a problem and in my pefect design my thumb would very lighly rest on the middle button and allow me to easily hit that button or the upper / lower ones.
(I could go on about this for hours, but on a quick note, another modern thing that I very much dislike is the 4 button diamond layout for gamepad buttons. The 6 button layout, while separating the buttons into 3 'primary' and 3 'secondary' buttons in a way, is simply superior as one's thumb naturally moves along the three buttons in a row much more easily than moving around a diamond. But the console wars ended up going for 'cool looking' controllers in order to market the units and now the PC gamepads have gone along with the diamond design. With the XBox controller our fate was sealed and it's hilarious because MS went with the diamond but at the same time acknoledged the superiority of the 6 button layout by including the black / white buttons. But they couldn't line up these buttons perfectly with the others beacuse that would make it TOO obvious that the 3x2 layout is better and the controller was designed for looks so they had to misalign the B/W and make them tiny and pretend that they were like teritary bonus buttons even though every game proceeded to use them for important functions. Dammit, I could punch somebody in the face right now!)
A right side button is a bonus. But it has to be in the right spot and quite large in order to accomidate the less accurate nature of using one's pinky / ring fingers and the fact that the placement of said fingers is probably what varies the most among different people. If the button is in a place where I can hit it without changing how I hold the mouse I certainly will use it for something non essential... and eventually learn to hit it well enough to upgrade what I bind it to.. and eventually want a second button over there. But it HAS to be in the right place! The Copperhead's 2 right side buttons are absolutely useless to me due to the way I hold the mouse. For me, a button shaped / positioned like the orginal MM Wheel side button would be perfect although it should take a lot less pressure to click. (If you haven't used the orginal MMW, its side button is along the bottom edge of the mouse about 2/5 of the way from the front of the mouse, and is about 1.5 inches long and half an inch high. It is truly the greatest side button of all time)
And umm... good mousing precision, obviously.
I have been looking for a new mouse for almost A YEAR now, and my current (8 year old!) mouse is now unusable due to wear and tear, so please, suggestions are welcome!
ROFL @ "wow my eyes hurt"
One thing i forgot to mention too, is that i like the software with the G5 better then Razers software.
I dont know if its becuase of the years of useing Logitechs software that ive grown accustomed to their layout. But i just felt it was easier to use.
^^^ wow my eyes hurt
Well said man... I think you hit most of what I want/look for in a mouse.
Now for my two cents... *looks over my shoulder for Jen* (no hard feel'ns hon, just giving you a hard time)
First, let me say, the Copperhead is a GREAT mouse, excelent tracking, quick responce, and all in all a quality made product.
But, with all that in mind...the G5 is the mouse for me.
I think the Razer would be best suited for lefties. Thanks to its semetrical design. It offers left hand gamers an opportunity to have a quality high DPI fragging mouse. And thats about where my recemendations of the Razor end.
For starters, Im really not a fan of semetrical mice. I just dont find them confortable over long gaming sesions. And ive felt that way since my first Logitech Mouseman 3-Button mouse back in the Dawango Doom II days. And i like the way the 5x series case from Logitech fills my hand without lifting my hand off the mousing surface to do so. ALong the same line, as a guy with large hands, the copperhead feels small and to low profile in my hand, and really makes my wrist hurt useing it for a long gaming sesion. Plus ive never been a fan of Razors hyper sensitive buttons. They just dont do it for me. I like a good authoritative click. Helps remove accidental railgun firings in the heat of battle.
The other thing i dont like about the razer is the lack of weight. Some people prefer this, i on the other hand prefer a heavier weighted mouse. The G5 offers the best of both worlds with its removable weight tray (also known as the battery slot on the wireless version) with customizable weighting. I can then weight the mouse so that its flickable to my tastes. A GREAT feature that im slightly disappointed no one has implimented sooner.
Also, i can do without the corny LED lighting of the razor. Yeah, the G5 has some base lights in the weight tray, and the little LED display up top, but neither of them are any mroe distracting then the rear light on an MS Explorer mouse, or the LED underlighting of typical optical mice. Personally I find the movement of the blue light in my lower right peripherial vision to be distracting at best, and downright nausiating in a quick multiplayer game of Q4 where is straking all over my vision, and drawing my eyes tword it (another reason why i hate VW dash boards with their blue back lighting AMBER FOOS!)
Plus, i may be a little biased tword the G5 becuase im a former MX510 user. And i really like the design of that mouse. ANd im glad that Logitech took the time to improve the design to make it better.
Little things like removing the "forward" navigation button on the thumb well, i never really used it. But i discovered alot of games wouldent map to it natively. So its no loss to me. THey also removed the application button from teh top of the mouse, and added side scrolling to the mouse wheel. Although one thing i do really miss are the "cruise" buttons for and aft of the scroll wheel. Althogh they couldent be used in gaming...so i suppose the loss isnt terribly great for a hardcore gamer, but i liked to use them when browsing.
They also made some improvments to the foot pads. The 510/518 had a "flaw" (in my oppinion) where there where not enough foot pads on the base. Particularly to the right hand side of the optical assembly. Where the majority of any of your hands weight would be transfered. They put one on the left...but stupidly not on the right. Relying on the two front and rear pads. This would cause the chassis of the mouse to rub on your mousing surface and scuff it. Not so bad if you use a 3M Percise Mousing Surface a fUnc pad or another simmilar "soft" uniform grid surface, but a real PITA if you use an icemat, everglide, ratpad, etc. that can be somewhat abrasive over time. Fortunately logitech fixed that issue by creating half moon shaped PTFE pads front and rear. WHich do a damn fine job of keeping it slippery. And give a little fudge factor without getting stuck ona foot pad standoff should your mouses edge slip off your fragging surface.
Not to mention the best part. The G5 comes in at about $10-$15 (US) cheaper then the Razer at the retail level.
I do have some small gripes with the G5, i dont so much like the new fabric wrapped cord. It just...bugs me. And i think that may be due in part to the fact that the mouse is no longer PS/2 compatible. Ive always prefered to use a PS/2 adapter and crank up the PS/2 rate for smoothness and accuracy. I still feel that im "missing" somthing with the G5 in terms of fluidity, and if i could only just get it to work a PS/2 adapter that maybe it would fix it. But alas, its not meant to be. But i will say, i did feel the same lack of fluidity in the Razer as well. Plus i could do without the "rustic" paint job...i think it looks as ghey as the blue backlit scroll wheel does. But tollerable (i.e. non-visible) in a dark dim monitor lit gaming room.
So, anyway, thats my 2¢. But considering hte length, is probibly more like 5 to 10. ROFL!
wow.. honesly i had skipped that picture because it just looked like a pic of the bottom of the mouse... /endignorance]
I wouldnt say I have big hands... more like paws... My palm is literally longer than any of my fingers by a good 1-2 inches, and it literally swallows a mouse. The wheel being so far forward isnt something that makes it bad... Its just something out of the ordinary for me.
|Greg King
The picture of the bottom of the mouse on the last page of the review shows the side buttons just about as well as my camera would allow. The scroll wheel is nice for me. I do however have a good size hand. The thumb side buttons are easy to access but the one on the right hand side of the mouse are a pain in the ass.
|Rob Williams
|I still *love* the MX518. Drew is currently reviewing the G5, which will be posted next week. Myself, I prefer the 518 over the G5 only because of the feel of the mouse. But for laser/style I'd go with the G5.
Thanks for the link lovin' greg... I think i'll be picking up one of those...
|This mouse looks awsome! too bad none of the pictures really give you a feel for the additional buttons layout... As far as over all design it looks sweet, but the editors pictures of it show the mouse wheel to be smaller than what im used to and WAY out front
|Greg King
Rob has the 518 and it has been reviewed here. It pretty much kicks ass.
There is some link lovin' if I have ever seen link lovin'.
Nice review... anyone tried this and the Logitech gaming mouse? i forget which it is... the 510 or something? I need a new one.. my silicon inserts on gone on this one.

'Buffalo appeared to become passive immediately after Penguins C Robert Lang tied the score with 11 minutes left in regulation. Only one forward forechecked, and the defensemen became reluctant to pinch along the boards as aggressively as they had all series. "I don't think we were tight. I didn't feel that at all," C Stu Barnes said. "I felt we gave it everything we had the whole way. There isn't a guy in here who didn't give everything he had until the end."

The band formed in Aberdeen, Washington, the same town that produced Nirvana's Cobain and Krist Novoselic. For Nirvana and many other Seattle-area bands, the Melvins' sludge was inspirational; the younger bands took the Sabbath-styled heaviness of the Melvins, while adding an equally important pop song structure, which the group tended to lack. While all of their disciples became famous after Nirvana broke big in 1991 (including Mudhoney, which featured former Melvins bassist Matt Lukin), the Melvins only expanded their cult slightly. They did earn a major-label contract with Atlantic, but after releasing three records for the label, they were dropped in late 1996 and the group returned to indie status, landing with Amphetamine Reptile for 1998's Alive at the F*cker Club. The late '90s and early 2000s century saw a flurry of releases by the band: The Maggot, The Bootlicker, The Crybaby, Electroretard, The Colossus of Destiny, Hostile Ambient Takeover, Pigs of the Roman Empire, and Houdini Live 2005: A Live History of Gluttony and Lust, all of which (except for the fourth one) were issued on Mike Patton's Ipecac label.
In addition to their Melvins activities, singer/guitarist Buzz Osborne joined Patton (and former Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo and Mr. Bungle bassist Trevor Dunn) for the experimental outfit Fantômas, resulting in a number of releases (1999's self-titled debut, 2001's The Director's Cut, 2002's Millennium Monsterwork by "the Fantômas Melvins Big Band" (recorded live in San Francisco on New Year's Eve 2000 but not released until two years later), 2004's Delirium Cordia, and 2005's Suspended Animation), while the Melvins' latest bassist, Kevin Rutmanis, joined Patton in another side project, Tomahawk. In 2006, Big Business bassist Jared Warren and drummer Coady Willis joined the Melvins, appearing on that year's Senile Animal album. The follow-ups, 2008's Nude with Boots, 2010's The Bride Screamed Murder, and a live album titled Sugar Daddy Live, were recorded with the same lineup and released by Ipecac.
The band returned in 2012 with a stripped-down lineup, dubbed Melvins Lite, for Freak Puke, which found Crover and Osborne recording without the boys from Big Business, instead adding standup bassist Dunn to their roster to round out the band's already formidable bottom-end sound. Mixing things up even further, the band teamed up with a host of guests, including the likes of Jello Biafra and J.G. Thirlwell, for Everybody Loves Sausages, an album of covers that arrived in 2013. Another new album, Tres Cabrones, released in November of that same year, saw them reunited with original drummer Mike Dillard -- who had previously appeared only on their early demo tapes -- while usual drummer Dale Crover took over on bass duties. Another odd team-up occurred in 2014, as Crover and Osborne joined the Butthole Surfers' J.D. Pinkus and Paul Leary on the eclectic Hold It In. Two unusual releases from the Melvins arrived in 2016. An album the group began recording in 1999 with Mike Kunka of Godheadsilo was finally completed and released as Three Men and a Baby, credited to Mike & the Melvins. And in mid-2016 they issued Basses Loaded, where the group recruited a handful of favorite bass players to collaborate on songs. The guest artists included Krist Novoselic of Nirvana, Steve McDonald of Redd Kross and OFF!, Jeff Pinkus, Trevor Dunn, and Jared Warren. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine & Greg Prato

NORTHFIELD, IL-- Kraft Foods Inc. says it's on track to complete a three-year initiative to reduce sodium by an average of 10% across its North American food portfolio by the end of 2012.
The food giant reported that it has already eliminated the equivalent of 14 million pounds of salt, or 1 billion teaspoons, from the North American diet annually since it announced the initiative.
"Sodium plays several important roles in food, including enhancing taste and texture as well as helping keep products fresh," said Russ Moroz, Kraft Foods vice-president of research, development and quality. "But our scientists and product developers also know more than half of North Americans are interested in lowering their sodium intake."
Moroz said the development teams were able to make meaningful reductions in sodium without sacrificing the taste, quality or safety in some of Kraft's products.
Among other products, Kraft has slashed sodium in Oscar Mayer bacon by more than 10%, in Kraft Easy Mac Cups by 30%, and in Oscar Mayer smoked deli-style ham and beef bologna and Teddy Grahams snacks by 25%.

never expected to sleep in the inn on this game
This is the last dungeon for lv.201 and below there are actually more party dungeons in the 200s but this one is pretty much the last one that drops chests easily.
7 guys 8 girls, it's obvious the last character is a guy
after i reached lv.201 i conquered the quests in the beach zone to reach lv.215 took 3 days to get to 215 when i wasn't going full throttle

Talesweaver - one thing you need to know is that they scraped episode 1 and episode 2 because it was "buggy" they will be reintroduced in the near future as a forgotten adventure quest which is pretty much the same episode story thing except you kill the boss right away and skip most of the story before you reach the boss, kind of sad they wasted so much time on the story and it gets scraped rofl...
didn't really play much today so i only got to lv.225 instead of lv.250~ because i found out there was a way to level real fast during episode 3 chapter 2 where you protect the old priest lady and the monster there gives 4500 exp, you could leave, give up quest and get the quest again and kill them again, for 100k experiance per round, so tommorrow i'll be lv.250 surely and start grinding equipment.
Moon Island, this is where you go as you reach lv.200 this house up here looks nice, the waterfall is nice and most of all stairs look nice!
one of the fields in this island, not as mobby but you could mob like this yep.
went back to the main island because i didnt turn in one quest in this beach and ran into an army of ducks
which you can't see...
so i go further and die randomly because i ran too deep and get crushed by a giant rock dinosaur turtle aka the strongest boss in the game!!
Episode 3 Chapter 1, this is a test to prove your swordmanship but it's pretty much a game of clicking the right wooden fighters, really annoying with a crappy mouse and they make you get 40000 points minimum to pass the test. it was necessary to unlock that other quest which can be done during Chapter 2, what a struggle!!
Pretty ghost in chapter 2, this is pretty much right before the quest that gives you 100k exp a round

Been wanting to reminisce for awhile now, so here it goes:
does anyone know how to kill this bastard? (Vol Dragon)
After so many tries, it always ends up the same, he flies up and shoots a 1 hit kill fireball ...
"I wish my lawn was emo, so it would cut itself."
Finally got it. Using it with steam big picture mode and a controller (the mouse controls are kinda laggy)
took 8 hours to unlock this map because i was reading the story xD... would have taken like 4 hours if i skipped the story but all is well since i finally unlocked this map where you kill a bunch of wierd soldiers from another dimension you can repeat this and get to lv.245 quickly i leveled up 10 times in one hour and from lv.240 the exp got a little rough, i might have to move soon but if i try hard i could stay here atleast until lv.250 but most move on around lv.245...
trying to unlock this one instance dungeon called derin which could be done once a day unless you get keys to enter more, need another day
to complete the unlocking quest since they only let you transform into cobolds once a day.
it's kind of hilarious that i haven't done any stat resets and still survive every zone not to mention with junk gear
Just beat the game and started on NG+

Obama New
The White House's chief lawyer learned weeks ago that an audit of the Internal Revenue Service likely would show that agency employees inappropriately targeted conservative groups, a senior White House official said Sunday.
That disclosure has prompted a debate over whether the president should have been notified at that time.
In the week of April 22, the Office of the White House Counsel and its head, Kathryn Ruemmler, were told by Treasury Department attorneys that an inspector general's report was nearing completion, the White House official said. In that conversation, Ms. Ruemmler learned that "a small number of line IRS employees had improperly scrutinized certain…organizations by using words like 'tea party' and 'patriot,' " the official said.

In the week of April 22, the Office of the White House Counsel and its head, Kathryn Ruemmler, were told by Treasury Department attorneys that an inspector general's report was nearing completion, the White House official said. In that conversation, Ms. Ruemmler learned that "a small number of line IRS employees had improperly scrutinized certain…organizations by using words like 'tea party' and 'patriot,' " the official said.
President Barack Obama said last week he learned about the controversy at the same time as the public, on May 10, when an IRS official revealed it to a conference of lawyers. The president's statement drew criticism, focusing attention on his management style and whether he has kept himself sufficiently informed about the agencies under his authority.
Others, including veterans of previous scandals, said the counsel—whose role is to advise the president on all legal matters concerning his job and the White House—was right to avoid telling Mr. Obama about the audit's early findings. Doing so could have caused a new storm by creating the appearance of meddling in an independent investigation that hadn't yet concluded, former officials said.
The White House, which declined to make Ms. Ruemmler available for comment Sunday, wouldn't say whether she shared the information with anyone else in the senior administration staff.
The new detail doesn't help answer some fundamental questions about the IRS scandal, including how it began and who, if anyone, in the administration was aware of the severity of the inspector general's probe before last November's presidential election.
Instead, it focuses attention on the White House's handling of the matter, which has blown up into the kind of crisis that could persist.
When findings are so potentially damaging, the president should immediately be informed, said Lanny Davis, who served as a special counsel to President Bill Clinton.
Of the controversies dogging Mr. Obama, including the terrorist assault in Benghazi, Libya, and the Justice Department's seizure of phone records of Associated Press journalists, the IRS case "is the most nuclear issue of all," Mr. Davis said. It involves the "misuse of the IRS" and "anyone who knew about this a few weeks ago and didn't tell the president shouldn't be in the White House," Mr. Davis said.
On the Sunday political talk shows, the White House rejected suggestions that the president should have taken action before the inspector general's office released its report May 14, a few days after the probe's findings were disclosed in news accounts.
Dan Pfeiffer, a White House senior adviser, said on NBC that the matter "was handled in the exact appropriate way. As I said, we do not ever do anything to give the appearance of interference in an investigation. What would be an actual scandal would be if we somehow were involved" in such interference.
Treasury Secretary Jack Lew was notified in a March 2013 meeting with the Treasury inspector general for the IRS that an audit was "forthcoming," according to the Treasury Department. But at that meeting, the inspector general didn't provide details of his findings, the Treasury said.
Jack Quinn, who served as White House counsel under former President Bill Clinton, said Ms. Ruemmler's office acted correctly in not sharing the information directly with the president.
If she had instead gotten "involved and called people over to the White House for a full briefing to know all the details, you know what we'd be talking about now? We'd be talking about whether she had tried to interfere with the IG's investigation," Mr. Quinn said.
John Podesta, a former White House chief of staff under Mr. Clinton, said: "The worst thing is if you do anything that is perceived to be interfering with an independent investigation" especially if it isn't fully complete. "That gets you in such trouble your head spins."
Republicans are expected to zero in on the question of who in the Obama administration's senior ranks knew about the IRS's targeting of conservative groups, especially before the November election last year.
Republican lawmakers on House oversight committees are pressing the investigation, with more hearings set for this week.
"Exactly who in the administration knew what about the IRS targeting is one of the key outstanding questions," said Rep. Darrell Issa (R., Calif.), chairman of a House oversight committee that plans to hold a hearing Wednesday on the matter, in an emailed statement.
"In waiting so long to address wrongdoing and inform the public, President Obama and his administration seem more preoccupied with having deniability than quickly addressing serious wrongdoing," Mr. Issa added.
In his comments Sunday, Mr. Pfeiffer suggested that more personnel changes could come at the IRS, after last week's ouster of acting commissioner Steven Miller by the president. Mr. Pfeiffer also went on the offensive, saying that White House cooperation with GOP investigators has its limits and that Mr. Obama won't take part in "partisan fishing expeditions."

My dogs HATES his nails being clipped
I have a 9 month old German Shepherd who will absolutely not stand his front nails being clipped. My sister does the clipping, and I attempt to hold him down, but he thrashes so much that I just can't. (he's around 90-100 pounds) He froths at the mouth and makes noises like we're torturing him. We've had to buy a mussel because he will bite us. He's not scared of the clippers, because we can do his back nails just fine. We've tried to distract him with peanut butter but he rather ignore it and escape the situation. I've even conditioned him into letting me touch his paws just in a regular situation. It's just when the clippers are involved he goes mad. We don't want to have to take him into the vet every time we have to groom him, so can someone help me think of a solution to this issue? Thank you.
Thats my Magick too. I'd clip the nail on his hind legs while he chews on his bullystick. But come to the front and he goes crazy..
He still does but after one year now, we just "battle" it out till he gives up & lay there tired & i can clip & file his nails too! Oh, the battling also happen to be after a one hour run...
Maybe try to drain his energy then clip the nails?

I second the dremel training. If you google the dober dawn website (or just search this forum), there are great instructions for introducing the dremel. We've been working on it for weeks and have just started being able to actually grind a little off of the nail. However, my 85lb Shepherd, who would fight and cry for nail trimmings before, now lays down and offers me his paws and lets me put the dremel to his nails. That is so worth the time we've put into the desensitization. The dremel is a good thing and he gets to choose whether he would like to earn treats or not. Of course he decides to go for the treats :)
Thumbs up on the dremel.
I have always taken my time getting the dog used to paws AND nails handled when we started may only get one or two nails at a time with treats for each nail.
I have a ritual that we throw balls first until he is panting, then I sit on the deck and ask him to down and roll on his side. I have always had better luck training the dog to be calm while I did the nails than hold him down, even with one who was terrible - once he realized I was "in charge" he settled down quite nicely.
FWIW I have a tiny clipper and I trim back the paw hair as well to minimize risk of grabbing it with the dremel.
Has he been quicked before?
Thank you for all the replies! My sister and I will definitely pick a Dremel rotary tool. We usually do exercise him before we do any sort of grooming, but recently we've been in the single digits with the weather, so none of us wants to be out side for too long. But we tried to clip his front paws with more success today. We tried a different position, we laid him on his back while my sister propped him up on her leg, and I held on to his back legs. This way he for sure couldn't get out of the hold, and once he realized that he stopped struggling as much and we were able to get all the nails done.
We've never cut his quick, but we're not sure if the breeders ever have. We picked him up at 5 months, but it didn't really seem they kept up on grooming with him (his ears had a lot of wax in them).
Another vote for the Dremel.
My GSD is seriously food-oriented, and hates nail trimming too.
I start by closing his kennel (that clues him in that torture is to follow), and I put on my safety glasses and headlamp for the operation. I lure him with carrot pieces and reassure him that it's okay. I put a big carrot on the counter in front of him to show him he gets a treat when we're done. He's extremely hesitant, but I get him to come to me, and I help him into a sit position. He stands for the rear feet.
At first it was just one foot per evening, but now all four. When I'm done there is lots of praise, petting, and he gets his carrot. Then I comb him, which he loves.
My last GSD clippers were a fight and Dremel was better. This guy I have now would be physically impossible with clippers. Making the ordeal a positive experience is they key for mine.
definitely the dremel but I think you need to do some counter conditioning. show him the clippers and treat him. Put the clippers up. Don't cut his nails, just treat him for accepting them in his space. Do the same with the dremel before you just start it up.

I write these articles well in advance of publishing and dispatch to the mailboxes of subscribers, hence my last article on the market may have been read after the recent wild runup in prices, making it not as timely as one might hope for. In it, I cited frost as an example of an agent for bullish market behavior. In light of recent events, I could and should have mentioned that drought is the culprit for the most recent uptrend.
What has the industry in a froth is that there has never been a drought during the coffee "flowering" period in Brazil -- the flowers preceding the actual coffee cherry development. For this reason, no one can look to history as a guide for what damage to expect, or not, to the coming crop.
This has been enough to spark speculation on the part of big fund money that has bought on heavily-driven market gains recently. We can hope cooler heads prevail, and will be keeping a watchful eye on this as it develops.
This issue should arrive in time for the OneShow, NAMA's annual fête with Chicago as this year's host. I feel it is my duty to recommend Lou Mitchell's for breakfast during your visit. With a prominent original Gold Cup award on one wall, and signs of Colombian coffee abundant, you'll feel right at home.
Trade shows are where ideas and the future lie as bedfellows. If you are diligent, there is much to be garnered by attending.
Over the course of my life, my dad Stuart Daw and I found ourselves contemplating many of these opportunities and their potential efficacies. Sometimes we were too far ahead, others times we just simply knew too much to be smart about what was presented. I offer a few examples here.
Specialty coffee. Stuart Daw opened a gourmet bean and nut shop in the center of what was then Canada's first shopping mall, Sherway Gardens in Toronto. This was, as I recall, around 1969 or so. After running it for a few years, he did not believe there was a big future in it, as it distracted from the core roasting business. So he sold it to a man named Tim Snelgrove who would put his moniker on it -- and hence, Timothy's was born.
Water. In the mid 1980s, an acquaintance with an engineering background came to us with the idea of opening a bottled water plant with the intent of selling five-gallon jugs as well as the newly developed three-gallon bottles. Single-serve bottled water was not yet widely available, and after a few years we felt that the filtered business was winning the office wars and there did not appear to be enough volume and margin in the single-serve retail market, so we sold the plant to a local investor. Within five years single-serve bottled water was everywhere.
Packaging. During a mid-1990s trade show a young woman and an elderly gentleman showed up at our booth and exclaimed that they had heard from several sources that we were the ones to talk to regarding their new invention. They proceeded to show us what looked to be a small toothpaste tube, but upon further inspection and explanation it turned out to contain coffee atop a small filter. When the tube was pierced to admit a dose of hot water, the water would open the bottom seal and brewed coffee would flow past it into a waiting cup. We found the device intriguing but when we inquired as to the unit cost we had to suppress our laughter that they expected this to sell for five to six times the cost of an open-brewed cup of coffee. We told them we would get back with them, but after a short consult, we could not get past the price proposition. That device was picked up by Mars, Inc. and became Flavia.
Going global. Lastly, in the early 1990s when I was looking for ideas to set our U.S. plant, Southern Heritage Coffee, apart from the competition, I decided to go beyond green-coffee brokers to meet up and work with coffee farmers from different origins, buying the best of their crops and marketing the beans to operators as "Coffees of the World." The higher price-point, and likely our limited marketing funds, made this a tough go and I decided to drop the idea in favor of a broader spectrum of specialty coffees. Today, this idea of direct-farm relationships has been embraced by specialty coffee elitists and is labelled "Third Wave Coffee."
The point of this painful exercise is, hopefully, to shine light on the fact that our industry -- office coffee service, vending and water (bottled and filtered) -- have been at the epicenters of some of the biggest market trends the beverage world has ever known, though we are rarely recognized for it. Just ask anyone outside the business how Green Mountain found its success and see how many mention the OCS industry. So while you walk the aisles, all aglow and quite possibly overwhelmed at the opportunities that are presented, know that the next great idea resides there. If you find it, try to hang on to it long enough to let it blossom before deciding it is not worthy of your efforts.
May your cup run deep, and the brew exquisite.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:17am
The Springfield College men's lacrosse team captured its sixth-straight Pilgrim Lacrosse League Championship on Saturday with a 14-3 win over Babson College on Stagg Field Saturday afternoon.
With the win, Springfield improves to 10-7 and earns an automatic qualifying bid to the upcoming NCAA Championship. The entire 2013 NCAA Division III Championship field will be announced at 10:00 pm on Sunday evening on a selection show airing on NCAA.com.
For the game, Springfield held a 42-37 advantage in shots, including a 25-12 cushion in the first half. The Pride won the ground ball battle, 42-38, as Springfield won 11 of the game's 21 face-offs.
The Pride benefited from several standout performances, including a career-best performance from goalie Connor Nash, who produced 18 saves in the win. Midfielder Kevin Freeman poured in five goals, and Ryon Lynch continued to power the offense, registering two goals and four assists.
Babson's Ryan Dawidjan tallied a game-high eight ground balls and caused four turnovers, while James Whalen was strong in net with 12 stops. The Beavers three goals came from Alex Packer, Spencer Low, and Scott Doten.
It was the visitors who struck for the game's first goal, as Doten ripped a shot into the top shelf off a inside look from John Obadia for a man-up marker with 8:32 left in the first quarter.
However, Lynch answered back with a man-up goal of his own 1:39 later to kick start a five-goal run by Springfield as it opened up a 5-1 lead with 14:43 to play in the opening half. Freeman scored twice in the run, including finishing with just 2.6 seconds left in the first quarter following a gorgeous spin dodge to break free out of a timeout.
Babson responded with a strike just 19 seconds after the Pride's fifth-straight goal after Low skipped home a shot off an Alex Patinkin pass.
Springfield would not be denied though, using another five-goal burst over the next 18:23 of the game to grab a 10-2 stranglehold of the game. Lynch simply took over the game during the run, factoring in on four of the five strikes, including three sensational assists.
The Beavers scored the final goal of the afternoon with 5:12 in the third from Packer, before the home team netted the final four goals of the afternoon, two of which came off the stick of Freeman

Eves: Xcel thanks Summit community
November 16, 2012
On behalf of Xcel Energy, I want to thank our customers in Summit County for their cooperation and understanding on Nov. 11 and 12 as we repaired a leak in one of our natural gas pipelines.
Even though there was no safety risk from the leak, we knew that with temperatures expected to drop to near zero, people needed the heat that natural gas provides. Our crews worked as quickly and safely as possible, but the nature of the leak and winter weather conditions meant they had to work through the night into Monday morning.
We thank our customers who were able to conserve natural gas use in response to our request and we appreciate everyone's patience and understanding of the short electric interruptions that occurred in some areas. These actions helped us minimize gas service outages in the area.
Again, thank you for your help and understanding.

Since 2009, students, both undergraduates and postgraduates, from INBT labs have had the opportunity to participate in internships at IMEC's state-of-the-art research facility. These internships have the dual purpose of providing international research experience for students as well as furthering the research interests of both Hopkins and IMEC.
