HTW Steam Wallpaper Stripper |
Titan DT Steamer |
HTP Heavy Duty Wallpaper Perforator |
HTW Steam Team Wallpaper Stripper The HTW Steam Team Wallpaper Stripper for the hire and rental, contractor and professional decorating markets is the safest and easiest to use steam wallpaper stripper available today. Robust and simple to service, the HTW features a unique anti-scald system and steam tank life-time guarantee |
The HTW will remove vinyl, foil, flock, woodchip and multi-layered papers, including painted-over wallpaper, with ease. The HTW is even effective on non-paper based
wall coverings such as hessian fixed with UPVA glues.
The HTW is designed to produce steam at just the right pressure and temperature for fast effective stripping with the minimum of condensation. This critical design feature reduces the risk of
over-wetting wallboard or the plaster surface of the wall being stripped, and keeps the working environment comfortable.
A unique, two-stage anti-scald system prevents the sudden escape of hot steam and water should the user tamper with the steam cap when the steamer is in use. First, excess pressure is safely vented when the steam cap locking lever is released. Second, if pressure still remains when the steam cap is removed, a valve inside the steam tank activates and stops the dangerous release of hot steam and water, eliminating the risk of scalding.
The long life heating element is designed specifically for the demands of steam wallpaper stripping. It will not twist, split or deform over time as it is repeatedly heated then immersed in cold water when refilled.
The hot steam tank is fully shielded from the user while four castors provide excellent mobility. These features make the HTW easy to move around the work site without the risk of picking up the steam stripper when it is in operation or when the tank is still hot after use.
The HTW is designed to efficiently plug-and-strip - simply fill with hot or cold tap water and connect to the power supply. The HTW-5 will steam-up in 10 to 25 minutes and continue to run for up to an hour and a half before switching off automatically when a low water level is reached.
The user then simply disconnects the HTW from the power supply, waits 2 minutes to allow the steamer to cool, and then refills. This eliminates the need for the user to remember to constantly check the water level and removes the need for troublesome switches, buzzers or sight glasses. Even if the HTW is left connected to the power supply with a low water level it will safely switch on and off as the heating element cools down and heats up.
The new 2006 HTW features a redesigned steam plate rail system for simple removal and fitting of the steam plate to the body of the steam stripper. Easy to use and understand, the new rail system improves the storage of the steam hose and power cable while keeping the HTW's compact, user friendly design.
The new HTW steam plate rail system is available as an upgrade kit for any age HTW-5 and is fitted in less than three minutes.

Wichita State is now The Show in college basketball, more mailbag
Prepare yourselves, Hoopheads. It's time for the Shock Wave.
Sure, there are plenty of good storylines in college hoops (the freshmen, The Dougie, the Big Ten race), but there is no doubt that Wichita State is The Show. Technically, Syracuse is also still undefeated, but all of us sense the Orange is living on borrowed time. There are only so many times a great team can pull of great escapes. Besides, Syracuse is a powerhouse program. We expect this level of success.
Wichita State, on the other hand, is an anomaly -- a midmajor team coming off a Final Four which has a very good chance to be the first team since UNLV in 1991 to enter the NCAA tournament undefeated. That kind of profile yields lots of doubt and debate, which was evident during my weekly Twenty for Tuesday chat on Twitter. Here is a sample of the questions that showed up in my Mentions feed.
Chris (@CMBHeel): What is the I-Told-You-So line for Wichita State (for reasonable people)? 16, 8?
Leigh Knubley (@LKnubs): Is WSU for real and how far into the tourney do you see them going?
Cole Thompson (@cathompson1987): Who could be the Wichita State of last year in this years tourney??
Lucas Hohn (@LaHohn_Sports): How many Big Ten teams can beat Wichita State, on a neutral floor?
Jake Gose (@JakeGose): Could Wichita State eventually become historically the best mid-major school ever?
Stephen Runyan (@Runyan1127): Why is there so much hate for WSU? Can't we all appreciate what these kids are doing?
My answers, in order:
Assuming there are still any reasonable people left on Twitter, I'd say the Elite Eight. It'd be unfair to proclaim that even a No. 1 seed should make the Final Four or it's considered a bust. The Sweet Sixteen is probably a push, but an exit in the Round of 32 would fuel the arguments being advanced by the skeptics. Just ask Gonzaga, which was a controversial No. 1 seed last season and lost in the Round of 32 to -- ta da! -- Wichita State.
Yes, I believe the Shockers are for real. I'd be, well, shocked if they're not playing on the second weekend. And I wouldn't be, well, shocked if they ended up in Arlington. I seem to recall this team making the Final Four last year with basically the same players.
Cole, the obvious answer is Wichita State. Less obvious: Saint Louis.
Lucas, most of the Big Ten could beat Wichita State on a neutral court. Most of the Big Ten could also lose to Wichita State on a neutral court. That's called basketball. I'm not saying Wichita State would win the Big Ten if it were in that conference, but it absolutely would contend for the title. Or don't you believe the Shockers could beat Nebraska at home?
Best midmajor ever? That's a high bar. The only way the Shockers can lay that claim is to win the whole shebang. The last midmajor to win an NCAA championship was UNLV in 1990, but even though the Runnin' Rebels played in the Big West Conference, they did not fit the accepted definition of midmajor. Before that, you'd have to go back to Texas Western in 1966 and Loyola in 1963 to find midmajors that won the title. However, in the last eight years, Butler went to back-to-back national championship games, and George Mason and VCU have been to the Final Four. So we've got a ways to go before we think about giving Wichita State this label.
All the hate? Beats me, Stephen. But I'm not so sure that it is hate so much as it is healthy skepticism. I say bring it on. The Shockers are The Show, and one way or another they're going to be highly entertaining from here on out.
Let me conclude by addressing the topic of Wichita State's NCAA tournament seeding. There is a big difference between thinking a team is "overrated" and wanting to give them a lower seed based on that opinion. If the Shockers do enter Selection Sunday undefeated, they will be a mortal lock for a No. 1 seed. There won't be a debate. Even if they finish the regular season undefeated and then lose in the Missouri Valley Conference tournament, I still think they should be a No. 1 seed, but it might depend on what some of the other top candidates have done. The reality is, Wichita State has just two wins against teams ranked in the top 50 of the RPI. There are bubble teams with more wins than that.
And let me raise one more possibility: If Wichita State does run the table through the conference tournament, they will be in the running for the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament. Sure, Syracuse and Florida have the inside track, but should those teams lose a couple between now and then, the Shockers will have a strong case to be the next men up.
Finally, I know I said it before, but let me say it again: This team made the Final Four last year and had Louisville on the ropes in the second half of the national semifinal. They pass the eye test with flying colors. So you can count me among the believers.
Jon Kattelman (@jkat513): Can I hear your first team All-American group as of now?
I've been shuffling this around for several weeks, but I believe I have settled on a Firm Four:
Doug McDermott, Creighton. No-brainer. If you don't vote McBuckets for national player of the year, you don't deserve a vote.
Jabari Parker, Duke. Had a brief downturn that lasted about three games, but he is getting better every time he steps on the court -- which is a scary thought for opponents.
Shabazz Napier, UConn. Unguardable as a scorer while leading the AAC in assists and ranking third in steals.
Sean Kilpatrick, Cincinnati. Like Napier, he's the only elite scorer on his team. Despite all that defensive attention, he is leading the AAC in scoring while ranking 10th in field goal percentage and three-point percentage.
Here's how I would rank my top candidates for the coveted fifth spot:
1. Julius Randle, Kentucky
2. Tyler Ennis, Syracuse
3. DeAndre Kane, Iowa State
4. Russ Smith, Louisville
5. Scottie Wilbekin, Florida
Jeff Kelly (@jekelish): At this point do you think Syracuse NEEDS to lose a game? They're clearly worn down and then some pressure would be off.
It is hard to make this argument to athletes and coaches, but I buy into it. The burden of being undefeated can be quite heavy, and coaches have a hard time keeping their guys playing to win instead of playing not to lose. There's a reason no team has gone wire to wire since Indiana in 1976. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I wouldn't recommend trying to flirt with history.
Having said that, I was persuaded by Jim Boeheim's answer when I posed it to him over lunch in Syracuse last week: "I disagree because I think the more pressure you have in the regular season, then you're going to be used to that pressure in the NCAA tournament. Once you get to the tournament the pressure is huge, whether you've lost none or one or two. So I don't buy into that."
Robert Bahar (@robbahar): What team outside of the top 25 has the best shot at reaching the Final Four?
Don't laugh, Hoopheads. These are by definition long shots. My top five, in order:
1. Pittsburgh. They've lost every important game they've played, but they've also been competitive in each one. They also have a dynamic take-over guy in Lamar Patterson. That goes a long way.
2. New Mexico. I know, Lobos fans will settle for a win or two, but I love the inside tandem of Kirk and Bairstow.
3. SMU. Wouldn't it be just like Larry Brown to lead his team to Arlington and then bolt for the Pistons?
4. VCU. Havoc can still wreak havoc on teams that aren't used to playing against it. If this team could make a few three-pointers, it might be ranked in the top 10.
5. Stephen F. Austin. Snicker all you want, smart guy, but the Lumberjacks haven't lost since Nov. 23 and they rank 14th in the country in scoring margin. Winning is a habit.
Brandon Odell (@sportsfanatic39): (Do) you agree that having to be 20 to go pro will also help college hoops a lot?
The answer depends on how you define the word "help." From a marketing and competitive standpoint, there is plenty of upside to seeing the draft age minimum go to 20. However, I don't believe that would be fair to players who have a chance to become professionals. Will some of them make mistakes by leaving? Sure. But many of them will also benefit by taking advantage of an opportunity afforded them by the marketplace. My message to the NBA is that if you don't want these young kids in your league, then stop drafting them. Besides, college is not for everyone. I don't see how the academic mission (please try not to laugh when I use that phrase) of college athletics is served by forcing young people to go to school if they don't want to be there. If I had my druthers, there would be no age minimum at all to enter the draft.
I noticed that this issue got some extra play over NBA All-Star weekend because the league's new commissioner, Adam Silver, voiced his support for increasing the age minimum for 20. This made for catchy headlines, but it wasn't news. This was always the league's preference, so the only thing different was that someone else was saying it on behalf of the NBA. The NBA Players Association has always maintained that it does not want any age minimum. That's because the younger a player is when he enters the league, the more free agent contracts he will sign, and therefore the more money he will make. That's right, this whole thing is about money. Shocking, isn't it? The leadership of the NBAPA is in flux, but there is no indication that its position on this issue is going to change. Unless it does, we are stuck with the status quo.

I have a 2003 325xi and my wife has a 2005 325ci. My portable Garmin unit works perfectly in my car however in the convertable the unit loses signal (satellites). It's never consistent. It may works fine for several hundred miles and other times lose signal every few miles. Both cars are pre-wired for phones. My dealer thinks there is phone wiring harness and can disconnect it. Any thoughts????
Its more likely a line-of-sight issue between the Garmin unit antenna and the sky. Make sure nothing is obstructing the pathway. Also, do you have any after-market windshield tinting? That could also cause a signal decrease from the satellites (you need access to 3 for the Garmin to work).
Thanks for the response. No window tint, thought it might be a problem with the roof, but the same situation occurs when the roof is down. I've even tried a separate Garmin antennae without success. It's definitely a signal from the car but don't know what. I've taken the unit out of the car about 20 ft and it works perfectly. As I walk towards the car (with engine running) it slowly loses satellite contact. I hope the car isn't haunted!!!! Thanks again.
I know that some honda owners have traced their Navigation interference to their TPMS... but I don't know if you are having that same problem. I suspect that you might have some electronic bleed that is causing RF interference -- but it seems you alreadyknow that! 1) do you have a power tap anywhere in the vehicle? maybe from an old radar detector? or another navi? 2) do you have TPMS? is it functioning properly? Can you swap the wheels and or sensors? You can sometimes find the source of this type of 'noise' with an old AM radio -- as you move it aroudn the car the level of interference will change... Hope this helps, though they are all long shots.
You may be on to something with the TMPS. The convertable does have it, the other doesn't. Going into the shop tomorrow. We'll see. Thanks for the response. Picking up a 535i in Munich in October........I can't sleep!!!!

Racing to Save their Son
Debra and Paul Miller fight to bring hope to their son and other boys diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Imagine your child is diagnosed with a disease for which there is no cure, and very little hope. And if it's one of hundreds of "orphan diseases" that don't garner the research dollars that bigger-name conditions do, hope for a breakthrough in treatment coming in time to help your kid dwindles.
That's what faced Debra and Paul Miller when their son, Hawken, was diagnosed in November 2002 with Duchenne, a form of muscular dystrophy that only affects boys. The prognosis the Millers received was grim. Boys are usually diagnosed by the age of five, in a wheelchair by age 12 and most don't survive through their mid-20s.
"The first thing we thought is, 'Jerry Lewis has this handled, doesn't he?'" says Paul in a video about the disease produced by CureDuchenne. It's a national nonprofit organization located in Newport Beach the couple created when they discovered how little planning and strategic thinking went into finding a cure for the disease.
Though grass-roots in origin, the nonprofit is a sophisticated national endeavor focused on identifying and underwriting scientific research; discovering and developing treatments quickly; and using the most cutting-edge science and technology such as gene therapy and stem cell research to find a cure.
The foundation is similar to an angel investor, providing seed capital to scientists and others at very early stages of research, allowing them to make a quantum leap at a critical time, with early results triggering more substantial government and commercial funding for clinical trials and subsequent research stages. CureDuchenne's $1.3 million early financing of Dutch biotech company Prosensa's research led to a later commitment by GlaxoSmithKline for up to $650 million to help speed the clinical trials and approval of that company's drug.
To date, seven research projects have made their way into human clinical trials with support from CureDuchenne. But there is one big difference between the Millers and other investors: The end goal isn't profit, it's saving their son's life, and the lives of other boys just like him.
Funding research takes funds, and that's another area at which the nonprofit excels, raising awareness of the disease through galas, golf tournaments and events like the recent Tinker Bell Half Marathon at Disneyland Resort that help produce the millions the sprint for a cure requires.
Another recent fundraiser was the Champions to Cure Duchenne gala February 9 at Balboa Bay Club & Resort, which honored hockey great Scott Niedermayer and wife Lisa. Dinner was by Josef Lageder of the BBC&R and guest chef Stan Frazier, a co-owner of A Restaurant and recent winner of "Chef Race" on BBC America.
The connection to races, athletes and athletic events is no accident. Paul Miller played college hockey at Minnesota, and the family knows the Niedermayers from Pegasus, where their kids went to school together.
But the race imagery is even more important when one imagines what motivates the passion and progress the Millers bring to the Duchenne community. "The cure is right around the corner," they say. "But we're in a race against time to save our boys."

Take a minute to scroll through the pictures in this article from the Deseret News – the photos of Matt Barraza and Tony Milner were taken in my home congregation, Holladay United Church of Christ. Our pastor, Tom Nordberg, has been with us exactly two weeks and this is the first wedding he's performed in our congregation. A legal, same sex wedding in Utah in a church by an honest to God real live ordained minister. I never thought I'd see it. But I was there watching it. This thing really happened.
There's a petition at Move On urging the governor to let the Judge's ruling stand. Please take a minute and sign it.
If you want to get married in Utah, do it now. I'm hearing that some county clerk's offices are open today – call and find out and get down there and get married!

Blockbuster Dwight Howard Trade Confirmed; Bynum, Iguodala Move
Just as the Dwight Howard trade rumors appeared to be going silent comes confirmation that a deal has finally been reached to move the disgruntled big man.
The Los Angeles Lakers will acquire the NBA's top center as part of a blockbuster four-team trade involving several All-Stars.
In exchange for giving up Howard and Jason Richardson, the Orlando Magic will receive Arron Afflalo, Al Harrington, Nikola Vucevic, Moe Harkless and draft picks from the Lakers, Philadelphia 76ers and Denver Nuggets.
Philadelphia will receive Andrew Bynum and Jason Richardson, while the Nuggets will pick up Andre Iguodala.
Pau Gasol had been a rumored piece of the deal, but indications are that he will no longer be leaving Los Angeles. That leaves the Lakers with a stacked starting lineup including Howard, Gasol, Metta World Peace, Steve Nash and Kobe Bryant.

HHS to spend $20 million on PR to promote ObamaCare
posted at 2:41 pm on May 22, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
You know what ObamaCare really needs? No, not a Constitutional loophole, or a subservient Supreme Court. It needs a public-relations campaign to convince the majorty of Americans who want it repealed that they actually love Big Brother government control of their health care. And guess what? We all get to pay for it:
The Health and Human Services Department has signed a $20 million contract with a public-relations firm to highlight part of the Affordable Care Act.
The new, multimedia ad campaign is designed to educate the public about how to stay healthy and prevent illnesses, an HHS official said.
The campaign was mandated by the Affordable Care Act and must describe the importance of prevention while also explaining preventive benefits provided by the healthcare law. The law makes many preventive services available without a co-pay or deductible, and provides new preventive benefits to Medicare patients.
The contract went to Porter Novelli in what The Hill reports as "a competitive bidding process." The result of this "competitive bidding process" just coincidentally dropped $20 million into the lap of … a former "on-air surrogate of the Obama for America campaign," as Matt Lewis reports:
The story notes that the public relations firm Porter Novelli "won the contract after a competitive bidding process." Interestingly, the managing director of Porter Novellis' Washington D.C. office is Catherine "Kiki" McLean — a true "D.C. insider," according to her bio.
Indeed she is. Among her other accomplishments, McLean's bio also notes she was "an on-air surrogate for the Obama for America campaign."
This comes on the heels of the revelation that another HHS contract, this one for almost $6 million, went to another Obama crony, Eric Whitaker, at the University of Chicago medical center at which Michelle Obama used to draw a six-figure salary. Whitaker also turned out to be the crony that allegedly tried to pay off Jeremiah Wright in 2008, according to Wright himself. Why, if these bids didn't go through a "competitive bid process," one might be tempted to look at them as payoffs, eh?
Matt asks just how competitive the bid process was that resulted in a $20 million payday to flack for ObamaCare:
This, of course, raises a few questions, including: Just how competitive was the competitive bid process that went to a senior Democrat?
And isn't this the kind of insider access Obama decried in 2008?
Why yes, yes it is, as Buzzfeed's Andrew Kaczynski pointed out just yesterday. Here is just one of four videos Andrew found from the 2008 campaign on this very subject:
ObamaCare looks more and more like a slush fund to repay Obama cronies. No wonder Obama is so desperate to save it.

Vandal smashes Mass. aquarium, killing fish, coralAP , Associated Press
Feb. 24, 2013 12:21 PM ET
FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) — A vandal who broke into a Fall River fish and pet store destroyed a 180-gallon reef tank, killing nearly all the fish and coral. Owner Bob Schenck told The Herald News (http://bit.ly/WZ93B8 ) that the damage on Wednesday was "totally malicious." The Boston Globe reported on Sunday (http://bo.st/15F2dnm ) that an 18-year-old tropical fish survived the attack. Schenk said security cameras showed that the suspect was inside the darkened store for more than 90 minutes. The vandal struck the large tank with a pipe several times until it finally cracked. Moments later, he took out a piece of glass from the tank to make the water inside gush out faster. © The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Meet Gia Ruiz, Danny McBride's girlfriend and now wife. The Eastbound and Down star married his girlfriend in a ceremony on a whim. Yes, he and Gia eloped. Read more about their wedding and see photos here!
Gia Ruiz, Danny McBride's girlfriend became a McBride on October 9th, 2010 when the couple decided to elope. We don't have a lot of information on their big day, but we do have a bit of information on how they met. Ruiz and McBride are said to have met while working on Danny's hit show Eastbound & Down. Gia apparently works in the art department as art director for the HBO show.
Gia currently works for HBO and they are working now on season two together. About the hit show and its potential longevity, McBride explained how the network and cast have been dealing with the show's success. Danny told a source, "We've approached each season … where, we have no idea if we'll be able to do it again, so we try to make it where it could be self-contained. But if we're allowed to continue, we kind of know where to go. In our wildest dreams, this was like a three-season show that arced over those three seasons, so we do have an idea of where to go: It's to an Ewok village, next season is 'Return of the Jedi.' There's all this parallel action between a space station and a planet with furry creatures, and I think people will like that. It's different from what we've been doing."
When and if we get any wedding photos from the big day, we will be sure to hook you up.
Congratulations to Gia Ruiz, Danny McBride's girlfriend turned bride! We wish you many years of happiness and love together, you crazy kids!

2011 promises to be a blockbuster year in legal history-related books. Published just this month is Tomiko Brown-Nagin's important new book, Courage to Dissent: Atlanta and the Long History of the Civil Rights Movement. Hat tip to Al Brophy. Here's the book description:
The Civil Rights movement that emerged in the United States after World War II was a reaction against centuries of racial discrimination. In this sweeping history of the Civil Rights movement in Atlanta--the South's largest and most economically important city--from the 1940s through 1980, Tomiko Brown-Nagin shows that the movement featured a vast array of activists and many sophisticated approaches to activism. Long before "black power" emerged and gave black dissent from the mainstream civil rights agenda a new name, African Americans in Atlanta debated the meaning of equality and the steps necessary to obtain social and economic justice.
This groundbreaking book uncovers the activism of visionaries-both well-known legal figures and unsung citizens-from across the ideological spectrum who sought something different from, or more complicated than, "integration." Local activists often played leading roles in carrying out the integrationist agenda of the NAACP, but some also pursued goals that differed markedly from those of the venerable civil rights organization. Brown-Nagin discusses debates over politics, housing, public accommodations, and schools. She documents how the bruising battle over school desegregation in the 1970s, which featured opposing camps of African Americans, had its roots in the years before Brown v. Board of Education .
Exploring the complex interplay between the local and national, between lawyers and communities, between elites and grassroots, and between middle-class and working-class African Americans,Courage to Dissent tells gripping stories about the long struggle for equality that speak to the nation's current urban crisis. This remarkable book will transform our understanding of the Civil Rights era.
And the blurbs:
Here's the table of contents."Courage to Dissent is a magnificent achievement, brilliantly analyzing significant tensions within the civil rights movement: between different classes, generations, local and national actors, proponents of direct action and litigation, clients and lawyers. Elegantly written, prodigiously researched, and compellingly argued, Brown-Nagin has made an extraordinary contribution."--Michael J. Klarman, Harvard Law School, and winner of the 2005 Bancroft Prize for From Jim Crow to Civil Rights
"In an excellent work, Professor Brown-Nagin shines a welcome spotlight on unsung 'movement lawyers' like Donald Hollowell, Howard Moore, Jr., and Len Holt--legal warriors and allies of civil rights activists whose courage and skill have gone unrecognized. In the process, she reminds us of the possibility of nobility in the law and the legal profession."--Julian Bond, Chairman of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 1998-2010
"In her magisterial account of the Civil Rights movement in Atlanta, Tomiko Brown-Nagin shows that it was not just elites working at the national level who had the power to change the course of history. Rather, the grassroots, composed of thousands of ordinary citizens, was crucial. Working together involved lots of conflict; yet, Brown-Nagin opens the door on a truly amazing synergy that ushered in a long overdue revolution. Courage to Dissent is a masterpiece of rigorous scholarship, careful analysis and good old-fashioned story-telling."--Lani Guinier, Professor of Law, Harvard University
"This is an absolutely compelling study of the tangled history of civil rights in Atlanta following World War II (and especially Brown v. Board of Education ). No one interested in the actual operation of our fragmented legal system can ignore it, not to mention anyone interested in finding out more about the remarkable cast of characters who contended with one another in trying to shape the future of the South's most important city."--Sanford Levinson, Professor of Law and Government, University of Texas
Brown-Nagin is Justice Thurgood Marshall Distinguished Professor of Law and Professor of History at the University of Virginia, and an upcoming guest blogger on the Legal History Blog.

Review: The Chowder House Restaurant - Zephyrhills
Posted in the Zephyrhills Forum
Sep 7, 2010
If you want fresh seafood in a clean, friendly atmosphere and at a very reasonable price, you need to visit The Chowder House while in the Tampa area. The portions are enormous and the food is delicious. The service is outstanding. It's just like eating in Maine, Cape Cod, and many New England restaurants. They have something on the menu for all tastes. And, everything is cooked fresh. Will definitely go back again!!!

Prior to our return to Canada late March of this year, we had the opportunity of eating at this restaurant shortly after it opened. We enjoyed the ambiance, the food and the staff very much. A definate positive recommendation to anyone who likes seafood.

I did not have a good experience at the Chowder House. The service was terrible, the food took forever and when it finally arrived it was cold. Then less than 15 minutes later I had severe abdominal cramping.:( Would not recommend at all.
Mar 21, 2011
Best seafood in Zephyrhills hands down. Great service and a comfortable atmosphere. I took my wife for our anniversary and we couldn't have felt more special. We can spot the real seafood and you can't get it anywhere else in town.
Apr 13, 2011
Our friends, my husband and I had dinner there last night. Not only was the waitress top notch, but the food was also top notch. So sorry that we haven't been going there since we came here in Nov. We're leaving next week for home and on way home from restaurant we decided that we had to go again before we leave for home. We with the new business much success while we're away up north for the summer,and look forward to frequenting there next year when we return back to Zephyrhills.

My all time favorite place to eat. The almond crusted haddock is to die for. But everything is great, and if you're not a seafood person, they have delicious pasta dishes too. I would recommend this restaurant very highly.
Jun 12, 2011
This restaurant is awful. There are roaches running around and the employees do nothing but sit outside and smoke. We sent our food back and decided to just take the left overs home and feed it to our dogs. A couple of our friends went shortly after us and they got food posioned and found a hair in their food. I was NOT recommed this restaurant. half a mile down the road a restaurant called Maine-ly New England is much better and has much better service and food all around. During the season they have music and fun activities and just a great environment. Chowder house is just awful.

restaurant is awful!!! got food posioned and was in the hospital for days! should have sued but too nice of a person...do not reccommend to anyone!!

My husband and I visited The Chowder House for lunch. A charming young man served us rich, thick cups of (yum-yum) Maine Clam Chowder and delicious Po-Boy Pollack sandwiches. Good food at reasonable prices with friendly, efficient service. very pleasant experience for us. Will definitely be back.

I use to work at the Chowder House and left after being emotionally tourtured by the owner. Everyone is always walking on egg shells and the owner is nothing but smoke and mirrors. The kitchen is run very poorly and cleaning is not a top priority. All of the seafood is frozen and he only buys the cheapest of everything. He markets well but its all a big lie. Chowder from a can and more roaches than you can shake a stick at. Very over priced and the dining room smells like an old bar like it use to be. Many people with abdominal cramps.... beware.
Jan 23, 2012
Loved the Chowder House lots on your plate, friendly atmostphere. We were visiting from Canada
Feb 26, 2012
had the pleasure of meeting a beautiful young lady the other day while my wife and I were outside Mainely New England waiting for our table. She had stopped to take some pictures of the restaurant which had been opened by her Father and was his pride and joy for over 15 years. What I learned affected me so deeply that I had to find a way to share it. The 2 men who own this restaurant did not come by it through hard work or their own ideas. They stole it from this sweet little lady breaking her heart in the process. These 2 fellas did one of the dirtiest things I've heard of in a long, long time. One was her husband and the other was her best friend of many years.They are the owners of this Chowder House. Neither of them knew anything about the restaurant business and still wouldn't if it weren't for this gal. She had grown up her entire life in the restaurant business. Her Dad owned restaurants since she was a small child. She worked alongside him her whole life learning everything she needed to open her own restaurant and make it a success. Her Father opened Mainely in the 80's and she got her friend a job there and even gave him a place to live so he could move down here. The other fella is now her ex husband and he's not even from New-England. She had her Dad teach them both how to cook and in the 90's she opened the Yankee Chowder house that used to be on 301.It fulfilled her life long dream. Her mistake was bringing these two along with her. They stole everything she had and didn't give her one red cent. If you could see the pain in this ladies eyes it would probably make you cry. It did me and I'm an old Mainiac. Imagine having your best friend and your husband or wife turn on you and take away your greatest source of pride and accomplishment. Stealing everything from you in the process. They stole the name from her, the menu and all her Fathers recipes. They even stole her pictures and decorations many of which were gifts from her customers that held great sentimental meaning to her. They copied everything that was hers and then tried to pass it off as their own while she was literally left destitute. She is such a sweet gal too. She's a good Maine girl who made the mistake of trusting the wrong people! She has been left with nothing while these two are making money off of her and her Father who has since died. he had a heart attack when these two opened this restaurant. It no doubt killed him to see his daughters and his lifes work so unscrupulously stolen right out from under them. It ain't right. That's for damn sure. She can't open her restaurant again because it's been taken from her. It doesn't surprise me that the place isn't doing well. These two obviously don't have a drop of decency or a speck of moral character. After reading some of these reviews and eating there myself a few times it's evident that they are not doing a very good job of running the place. It's easy to not care about something that you didn't work for or earn. When you steal something from someone it's not a source of pride. It's all about greed and money. Sad what they took from this little gal. She has nothing now. I think all us Mainers should boycott this joint and force it to close so this gal can have her life back. She deserves it. She was robbed and betrayed by the two people closest to her so they could make a quick buck off her hard work. Wrong, wrong, wrong. She's one pretty girl but the pain in her eyes is so clear and so sad. My heart just aches for her. Harold King. Waterville, Maine and Zephyrhills, Fla

The last time I ate here, the creamed seafood pasta dish I was served had been scalded and reeked of burnt taste and aroma. They had tried a rookie trick to cover it up by added sugar to it. Any chef worth a dime knows better. They acted as if I had come in just to cause trouble. I left it uneaten, minus one bite, yet they charged me full price for my last meal in this dump!

When they're not closed for the summer we eat there at least once a week. That tells you something right there. We have never,never had a bad meal. The prices are right and service is good and friendly. The bad part is that they closed for this past summer. There is nowhere we would rather go for seafood than the Chowder House in Zephyrhills.

This is a VERY good restaurant, clean, well managed, with excellent food. There is wide variety on the menu, all delicious. The staff is generally good, with the exception of one waitress that we avoid. She always seems to have a bad day, which ruins our dining experience, so AVOID the short, dark haired, sharp faced waitress. My wife and I really enjoy the food and especially the nice young man who works in different areas, wait staff, kitchen, etc. He, alone, is a draw for us. We go often and enjoy the specials as well as the regular menu.

Travel to Zephyrhills twice a year as a vendor at the local car show. Came across Chowder House on Google. I am from New England originally and live in Ohio, where you don't get real seafood. I noticed real clams on the menu and could not believe it! We tried both clam chowders, fried clams and seafood platter. This was the best seafood meal we have ever had! Every piece of food had its own delicious taste! Even the cole slaw was the best! Wonderful service and pleasant decor. We would recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Zephyrhills area.

I've never been there and love the place because someone that lives in z hills hates the place. I'm going there right now because everybody I talked to where I live in z hills says the place is fantastic. Sounds like another case of you can't believe everything you read on the internet, especially if a competitor is slamming another local business to keep people from going there. I have abdominal cramping after reading a negative post that is not sensible. My advice is to go try it for yourself and then make your own decision.

Bowers & Wilkins A7 Review
Bowers & Wilkins is a top-notch speaker manufacturer with accordingly expensive products. These include the A7, a wireless speaker that supports Apple AirPlay. A Bowers & Wilkins A7 review from PC Mag acknowledges the speaker's steep price (starting at $500) but says the A7 is an elite system with very rich bass and loud, clear, detailed audio. At Tech Crunch, a Bowers & Wilkins A7 review concludes that this speaker is worth the money -- it simply sounds that good. It's also incredibly easy to set up, the reviewer says.
The Bowers & Wilkins A7 (starting at $500, Amazon) uses Apple's wireless AirPlay technology to stream music from Apple devices. That means it's tied to a Wi-Fi network (or Ethernet port) but can stream from any compatible device within range. The speaker also has a USB port, where you can plug in and play music from a PC and a 3.5 mm audio input for plugging in other non-Apple devices. There is no dock connector for charging. The system Bowers & Wilkins A7 a pretty powerful, 50-watt subwoofer and weighs about 10 pounds. It measures 8.6 x 14.2 x 6.3 inches, so it's not nearly as compact as the portable speakers on our list of budget options.
Where to buy
If you have the funds, the Bowers & Wilkins A7 is worth it, reviewers say. It's no doubt one of the best speakers for an iPod, iPhone, or iPad and can even function as an all-in-one home audio system.

Very friendly chickens, good layers, and beautiful
Pros: Very sweet temperament, lovely color, great layers
Cons: Can't think of any
I will start by saying that I love Australorps. In fact, my very favorite hen is an Australorp. She is such a sweet chicken and just let's you walk right up to her to pick her up. She doesn't run or anything. Sometimes she even comes up to me and acts like she wants to be petted. I love their deep black color with a greenish sheen and how they are built. They are also great layers. There was actually once a laying record record set when a hen laid 364 eggs in 365 days. If you are looking for friendly laying hens, these should be a top choice.

Relations between state and tribal governments are not where some expected 23 years after a call for a century of reconciliation.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. -- Among the echoes of George Mickelson's voice that resonate yet today, long after his death 20 years ago in an Iowa plane crash, is a call the former governor once made for racial reconciliation in his beloved South Dakota.
Mickelson's gubernatorial answer to the ugly history of the Wounded Knee massacre a century earlier was to push legislators to change Columbus Day to Native American Day beginning in 1990.
And they did.
His remedy for the adversarial relationship of state and tribal governments, and for the border town bigotries and racial stereotypes he knew divided South Dakota, was to call for first a Year of Reconciliation, and then a century, again starting in 1990.
Many South Dakotans embraced the idea, too.
But now it's nearly a quarter century later, and in many ways the passion of Mickelson's vision died with him in that plane crash. Would he be happy with the progress that has been made since then? The answer is not so black and white, those who advocated for racial reconciliation with him say.
"I think parts of where South Dakota has come, he would be pleased with," said Frank Brost, who was Mickelson's chief of staff. "I don't think he would be pleased with where we are compared to where we hoped we would be."
English professor Chuck Woodard at South Dakota State University has staged an annual gathering called "Consider the Century" for 25 years now, inviting tribal people in to reflect about their culture's past and future. It bothered him in 1989 that the state's centennial mantra was to "Celebrate the Century" when virtually nowhere in those celebrations was there an acknowledgment of the tribal story and history in South Dakota.
"Calling it a celebration was simply, in my opinion and those of a lot of others, a whitewashing of history that was continuing," said Woodard. "I wasn't expecting a gnashing of teeth. But inclusive programming that was more forthcoming about the last 100 years, and the challenges and consequences of what happened to and was done to tribal people, seemed to me to be very appropriate."
If the state wasn't going to acknowledge that history, Woodard said, he would.
Among the speakers at the first year of his conference was tribal newspaper publisher Tim Giago, who had pushed Mickelson to create the Year of Reconciliation. There was so much opportunity in those early days to really forge improved race relations, Giago recalled.
"The governor and I had sat down and outlined what we were going to do," he said. "What I thought would have been very important to the state was going to communities that border the reservations. ... McIntosh, McLaughlin, Winner, Sisseton, places like that ... and bring Native Americans and the citizens of those communities together to talk about the things we could accomplish as friends."
But it never happened. Giago went off on a Nieman fellowship at Harvard University in 1990. Mickelson got busy with governing and then he died in 1993.
Years later, Giago and others went to Gov. Mike Rounds, who was governor from 2003 to 2011, asking him to rekindle Mickelson's dream by creating a Year of Unity in the state. Rounds obliged them, designating 2010 as that year, and there were a number of community events to commemorate the designation.
"Rounds and I spoke at the Wagner community school," Giago said. "We had the gymnasium packed to the rafters, and it was a tremendous thing. People came together and listened to us talk about unity. Of course, that kind of thing didn't last nearly long enough."
Certainly when it comes to race relations, there has been progress.
Woodard sees it at places such as South Dakota State University and the University of South Dakota, where there are tribal student centers now, American Indian Studies programs and more events embracing cultural diversity.
State legislation in 2007 created the Indian Education Act, which mandated the development of curriculum and coursework in South Dakota American Indian history and culture. Within that work has been the development of the Oceti Sakowin Essential Understandings and Standards, which address the achievement gap of American Indian students by embracing their identity and promoting cultural understanding among non-native students and teachers.
South Dakota's tribal colleges are entering agreements with the technical schools and universities on everything from developing more health care workers to engaging in research.
"I was just at Crazy Horse," the governor's son, Sioux Falls Rep. Mark Mickelson, said recently. "They're running a Native American university there with the help and support of the University of South Dakota. That's a good thing."
For all of those accomplishments, Woodard said, "there is still a lot of opposition in this state, things that continue to be taboo subjects. There's still quite a bit of polarization in South Dakota, so there is more work to be done."
Gov. Mickelson would not be happy with the progress made between state and tribal governments, Brost said. The trust he tried to promote among those bodies has not prevailed over the adversarial nature of tribal-state relations, especially on issues of jurisdiction and taxation, Brost said.
"George was frustrated many times," Brost said. "The tribes wanted to go back and talk about the treaties and history, and he was more focused on what we can do to go forward and make people's lives better and to bring economic opportunity to Indian people.
"He wanted to change things, and I do know there have been agreements here on revenue-type things. But I just feel that we still don't have a feeling of trust between the tribes and state like probably North Dakota does with its tribes. North Dakota works very much better with its native governments. They are much more integrated. I think George would be disappointed that that's not the case here."
The reality is, South Dakota is only through a quarter of the century of reconciliation, Mark Mickelson said. In a country that has elected a black president since his father's death, there is still hope for better race relations in South Dakota, too, he said, even if there is more work to do.
Giago believes the state should use Native American Day as a focal point for future reconciliation efforts.
"As the only state out of 50 that has Native American Day as a holiday, that date should be utilized," he said. "We need to start using that day to change attitudes and change lives in this state. We need to go into schools, including Native American schools on the reservation, and talk about why this day is important."

Golson and Huffman in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre lineup
Just checked with some people who are with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees in Norfolk.
As of right now , the two Triple-A outfielders currently on the 40-man roster — center fielder Greg Golson and corner outfielder Chad Huffman — are both in the lineup. That's with batting practice just ending.
If that changes, that would seem to be a good indication of which direction the Yankees are leaning should Curtis Granderson indeed end up on the disabled list.
UPDATE, 6:28 p.m.: Sorry. Just listened to the Girardi audio. Sounds like they could call-up a pitcher for the time being. That seems to be a possibility, anyway. Get a reliever for a few days to help the short-handed bullpen, then maybe call-up an outfielder to fill Granderson's spot after a few days.
UPDATE, 6:39 p.m.: The top relievers in Scranton have been Jonathan Albaladejo, Royce Ring and Mark Melancon. For whatever it's worth: Albaladejo and Ring pitched yesterday. Melancon did not.

A light blue jacket with contrasting shawl collar, unbuttoned shirt, and pink, yellow, and blue striped pocket square compliment his red pants and Taylor's entire look.
For his second look, things get serious in lots of black and white. Robert opted for a suit with wide (and I mean wiiiiide) peak lapels, a wide silk tie, and a black and white gingham shirt. A great pair of geeky glasses finishes off the look.
Thanks for sharing these pics with us, Matthew and Katie! Robert, you did a great job, man. I can't wait to see what you pull together for the wedding.

Lovesick Blues: The Romance and Wreckage of Country Music's Greats Posted by: Aaron Stearns | 0 Comments
There's an evolution to love in the South. If we're to believe the music, it goes something like: 1) Courtin'. 2) Marryin'. 3) Drinkin'. 4) Cheatin'. 5) Divorcin'. 6) Repeat.
We typically take our romance either saccharine sweet or downright gothic. So, in honor of Valentine's Day, Bourbon and Boots' Editor, Amy Bowers, and her main squeeze, ruminate on some of country music's most admirable and infamous unions.
"Help Me Make It Through The Night" – June Carter Cash & Johnny Cash
When you think of undying, down-right, ring of fire-type true love, you can't help but think of Johnny and June. They met backstage at the Grand Ole Opry in 1956. Sure, Johnny had married just two years earlier, but his immediate connection to June was undeniable. After three kids with first wife, she divorced Johnny in 1966 due to his booze and amphetamine abuse (not to mention his obvious attraction to June, who at this point was performing often with Cash).
After many failed proposals, June finally agreed to marry Johnny in 1968 when he did it on stage in front of 7,000 fans. The two were inseparable after that. June was credited with sticking by his side while he battled addiction. They were married for 35 years and had one son together, John Carter Cash, a music producer. June died in early 2003 and Johnny continued to record music and even played a few surprise shows, including his last public performance in July 2003. Before he sang their most notable hit, "Ring of Fire," he said to the audience, "The spirit of June Carter overshadows me tonight with the love she had for me and the love I have for her. We connect somewhere between here and heaven. She came down for a short visit, I guess, from heaven to visit with me tonight to give me courage and inspiration like she always has." Johnny followed June in death just two months later.
"(We're Not) The Jet Set" – Tammy Wynette & George Jones
If Johnny and June were Antony and Cleopatra, George and Tammy were more like Richard Burton and Liz Taylor who played them. It must've been tough to be married to George. There's the famous story of Tammy taking away George's keys and him driving his John Deere mower an hour and a half – at 5 mph – to get to the liquor store. But that's a rare charming anecdote in the six stormy years they were married. In that time, George gained the nickname "No Show" for so often being too drunk to perform, found a new friend in cocaine, and eventually wound up in an Alabama psychiatric hospital. Their divorce finally came in 1975 after a whiskey-drunk Jones chased Wynette around the house with a loaded rifle. If all that weren't bad enough, they named their poor daughter "Tamala Georgette."
The great consolation, of course, is that their duets are arguably the best in the history of country music. From "Golden Ring" to "Two Story House" to "Something To Brag About," all the rage they had at each other off stage translated into passion once they were on it. Jones and Wynette both eventually found lasting love in subsequent marriages (George in his fourth and Tammy in her fifth). They also gradually put aside their differences and performed together several more times before Wynette's death in 1998.
"Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain" – Willie Nelson
Arguably the most beloved artist in the history of country music, the Red-Headed Stranger is no stranger to marriage, having tied the knot four times and fathered seven children. His first marriage, to Martha Matthews, produced three children, but was rife with violence. In the most notorious episode, she found him passed out again, so she sewed him up in the bed-sheet and beat him senseless with a broomstick. Willie's second marriage (to Shirley Collie) wasn't much better, ending when she found the bill from a Houston maternity ward charged to Nelson and Connie Koepke for the birth of a daughter, Paula Carlene Nelson. Nelson married Keopke soon after, a union which lasted 17 years until they divorced in 1988 and Nelson married his current wife, Annie D'Angelo. The couple has two children together. The fourth time seems to have been the charm for this Highwayman.
Lorrie Morgan & The State of Tennessee
In a 2004 interview with Larry King, Morgan said, "Drama is something that lets you know you're still alive." And King can sympathize as he may be the only person on Earth that's been married more times than Lorrie Morgan. (King's eight to her six.)
Morgan married a bass player from George Jones' band, then a one-time bus driver for Clint Black, then singer/songwriter Jon Randall. She was married to singer Keith Whitley until he drank himself to death to get away from her. In the early 2000s, Morgan and singer Sammy Kershaw got married, got mutual restraining orders, reconciled, both (separately) filed for bankruptcy, got more restraining orders, then divorced for good in 2007. Mixed in there, she had relatively long-term relationships with Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman and actor and former Republican Senator Fred Thompson (we hope to God it wasn't at the same time). Morgan trod back up a well-worn path to the altar in 2010 to marry Tennessee businessman, Randy White. But this time it's real.
Out Of The Limelight – Dolly Parton & Carl Thomas and Loretta Lynn & Oliver "Dolittle" Lynn
There's a breed of country music romance that doesn't thrive on turmoil and public displays of anger, or any display for that matter. Perhaps the key to a successful (or at least lasting) marriage is for one member to be nearly invisible. Both Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn have been/were married for nearly 50 years to "quiet types" Carl Thomas and Oliver "Doolittle" Lynn.
Parton met Thomas at the Wishy-Washy Laundromat on her first day in Nashville. Two years later, the couple were wed. The reclusive Carl operates an asphalt company in Nashville and Parton claims that he's only seen her perform once ever. While a person's privacy must be respected, Carl's extreme reclusiveness does nothing to refute (and has mostly been the cause of) the years of rumors questioning Dolly's sexuality. It certainly doesn't help that plastic surgeries are gradually turning Dolly and Kenny Rogers into the same person.
Meanwhile in Kentucky, Lynn married Doolittle, a former moonshine-runner known locally as "Mooney" (does everybody get two nicknames in Kentucky?), in their hometown of Butcher Hollow in 1948. She was 15, he was 21. To escape the coal mining cycle, the couple moved all the way to Washington state to explore the logging industry, but without much luck. By the time Loretta was 19, she and Oliver/Mooney/Doolittle had 6 children. By 21, he had become her manager. The couple stayed together until his death in 1996 at the age of 70 and, though lasting, their relationship was checkered to say the least. Doolittle was a known womanizer and alcoholic and there were accounts of domestic violence on both of their parts. Browsing briefly through the liner notes and lyrics, it also becomes easy to see that Doolittle was the inspiration for songs like, "Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)," "The Pill," "You Ain't Woman Enough (To Take My Man)," and "Fist City."
Think Of The Children
Music also brought together and (literally) gave birth to some of the most impressive and melodic progeny around.
A.P. Carter, his wife Sarah, and her cousin, Maybelle, made up the Carter Family. By the time the trio called it quits, Maybelle's three daughters – Helen, Anita, and June – carried on the tradition. June would go on to marry Johnny Cash, of course, then both June's daughter from her first marriage, Carlene Carter, and Johnny's daughter from his first, Rosanne, would both have impressive careers.
There's Hank, Hank Jr., and Hank III. Then there are Tillises, Judds, and Mandrells (this is starting to sound like an anatomy class). Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter brought their son Shooter into the world. And though Steve Earle's marriage to Carol Ann Hunter was short-lived, it produced the great young Justin Townes Earle (named for Earle's friend and one of the best songwriters of the last century, Townes Van Zandt).
Even if the marriages were often unharmonious in private, we can be thankful that they wrenched, wrestled and strangled out such beauty for the rest of us. The above are just a small sampling, of course. Feel free to add to our list with comments below…
