- "It has been too long since we saw him last - poor Christopher, he was always such a promising young lad."
- ― Mrs Norris to the protagonist in Town
Christopher is the estranged elder brother of the protagonist and is the son of Helena and the senior Christopher. The reasons for his absence are not known, but it is indicated that Christopher left when his sister was only a girl, and she has not seen him since. His current residence and marital status is unknown.
It is unclear how many people in Darlington are aware of the circumstances surrounding Christopher. Mrs Norris has made brief comment on it in the past, and it appears that members of the household staff such as Bessy are also informed, but treat the matter with due discretion.
Trivia Edit
- Christopher resembles the character of Frederick, Margaret Hale's brother in Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South. Both characters were absent from their household for an extended period of time because of incidents that required discretion.

Beatles' Session Drummer Andy White Dies at 85
He sat in for Ringo Starr on the band's first hit.
Even the most die-hard Beatles fans may not know the name of Andy White, who died Monday after a stroke at the age of 85, but they've certainly heard his drumming. As a regular session musician for EMI in 1962, the Scottish-born White was hired by George Martin to replace Ringo Starr during the recording of the Fab Four's first single, "Love Me Do," as well as its B-side, "P.S. I Love You." As Ian MacDonald puts in his exhaustive history of the Beatles' records, the switch to White was emblematic of a musical conservatism the group would soon overthrow: In an earlier effort on the track, "Starr had failed to 'lock-in' his bass-drum with the bass guitar ... a convention of the polite studio style of the early Sixties." (According to other observers, Starr had also been rushing the pre-chorus, which adds to the song's legend as a Scylla and Charybdis for Beatles drummers; Pete Best was fired in part because he kept dragging on the bridge.) White turned in a solid, professional effort on the track, while Ringo was reduced to playing a desultory tambourine.
White was paid only five pounds for his three hours of work on the track, and was not credited. He received no royalties from the song, which also appeared on the Beatles' first LP, Please Please Me. His career as a session musician led him to play on many famous '60s tracks, including Tom Jones's "It's Not Unusual" and Lulu's version of "Shout." In later life, White became a drumming instructor in America, where his students included the E Street Band's Steven Van Zandt. His family told the BBC that, despite his brushes with stardom, White was notable for his "amazing humility and humbleness about his many achievements."

We went to NAB this year with the ZM Interactive team to help promote and show off their new Innovacam Fisso gimbals. If you've never been to NAB, you should plan on checking it out. There's no other place like it.
There's something for everyone at NAB. You can even demo a Shot Over Camera system while drinking complementary domestics. You can also test out the newest mechanical Jib arm thats mounted to a Ford Raptor from Filmotechnic. Or maybe you're in the market for an RC Truck with a Movi Gimbal rigged to its' back... NAB is the place to check out anything and everything on the market.
Of course, you can't leave NAB empty handed. Not only did we learn tons of new stuff and meet some awesome people, we also picked up two drones and an Odessey 7Q for the FS700. So, we're stoked and ready to do big things.

2009 - Year 7 Trip to Germany
Year 7 Trip to Germany - June 2009
Monday: we left the coach park and set off to Dover. From there we took the ferry to Calais and then drove for what felt like days through France, Belgium, and Luxembourg. We arrived in Germany at long last after two films and several pit stops!!! We got to the hotel in Traben-Trarbach, got given the keys to our rooms, dumped our bags down then went exploring everyone's rooms. We had a balcony in our room.
Tuesday: we went to a town called Cochem to have a tour of Cochem castle and go shopping! After that we went on a chair lift to take us up to the animal and theme park. It was only small but loads of fun! It was a lot different to our theme parks in England; most of the rides were operated by the person behind you in the queue! We went on the rides for a while and then we went around the animal enclosures. There were boars, bears, water rats (they were so cute!!!) horses, goats and loads more but the best was at the end: we were walking to the exit through a field when we saw a herd of deer. We were in the same field as the deer and they came right up to us! We took the chair lift back down to the town and walked back to the coach. Back at the hotel we had dinner and had a general knowledge quiz, then went to bed.
Wednesday: we went to the school in Traben-Trarbach to meet our pen-pals. We had a questionnaire with questions about the school to answer, but we had to translate them for our pen-pals! It was fun! We left the school (after exchanging numbers I might add!!) and went shopping in Bernkastel. We met up again after that and we went on a boat trip along the Mosel back to Traben-Trarbach. Then we had dinner at the hotel before our evening activity: minigolf. There were a few 'strategic players' as we called ourselves! (Would you count putting your feet behind the hole to make sure the ball goes in as cheating?)
Thursday: we went to the ancient Roman city of Trier. We went to the amphitheatre and to the imperial baths. There were no lights in the hypocaust tunnels, so we went round scaring everyone that went past. People would hide behind corners and jump out at unsuspecting victims! Then we went to the Basilica and, at the end of the day, to the Porta Nigra. We went right to the top and you could see for miles!
We also went (you guessed it) shopping in Trier! We had a couple of hours and we went to ice cream shops, clothes shops, tourist shops, ice cream shops, and more clothes shops!! We went back to the hotel and had dinner then started packing. The week had gone so fast! We then got dressed up ready for the disco! We had a great time but then we had to go to bed for the last time in Germany, ready for an early start the next morning.
Friday: we had breakfast and brought our bags downstairs. We set off at half past seven for the journey home. We crossed back through Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium and then France where we caught the ferry from Calais to Dover. We cheered when we could see Salisbury Cathedral's steeple!! We were nearly home!
We all enjoyed our trip to Germany but I think we were all glad to be home. It had been a tiring few days but we all had fun.
I would like to thank all the teachers that went with us to Germany, and I would also like to thank the members of the hotel staff for taking care of us so well but the biggest thank you I think should go to Frau Tallis for organising the trip.

A fresh press of a old linocut. I'm re-vamping my etsy listings, and going through my linocuts that have yet to see the light of day. I've succeeding in making morning to noon serious "lets make art' bum time, followed by lunch and head-ache inducing etsy, slash, networking, slash, scanning, camera online time.
Today's headache. Couldn't for the life of me find my camera, and taking photo's of my art (not just scans, but in situ photos) was on the agenda. I lumbered throughout the house, up and down stairs, peaking in pockets (lots) and nooks and dusty crannies (many) getting increasingly frustrated. At least 1/2 hour later, I found it. Luckily, I wasn't feeling totally sour by then, and carried on with my plans. Took my pictures, did my scans, and re-listed two linocuts on Etsy. Hopefully the new pics will help. If one doesn't try, one will never know.

Stephanie from Beautiful Impressions has simplified being green for the rest of us and I just can't thank her enough. She took a regular child's sweatsuit and a little time and ingenuity and created one terrific child's Halloween costume. If you have procrastinated this long and think you don't have enough time to make something personal, think again. Stephanie just made your day.
Check out full details on her blog, here
Update: I'm sorry to report Stephanie has taken down her blog :( Don't worry, we have plenty more handcrafted halloween costumes in the DIY Halloween Costume round-up and we'll be adding new costumes for 2010 later this week, including the cowboy & cowgirl costumes I made last year.

Remember how I said I was a product of the 80's, not to long ago. [[check it]]
Well, guess what? Reports of an 80's icon reemerging into the spotlight are surfacing all around the music and entertainment industry.
The 80's boy band, New Kids on the Block are planning on a reunion.
I know what you're thinking.
You're thinking, "No Way!"
But I say, "WAY!!"
"Just get on the floor and do the New Kids Dance!"
They predicted the reunion really, in their song "Hangin' Tough", I quote "if you try to keep us down we're gonna come right back!"
Here they are 14 years later and getting some new buzz.
"ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh ohh!"
I'm not a fan, but my friend Olivia loves 'em, still to this day. My sister still has the CD in her old room at my parents' house. Why she left it there and not bring it to New York with her, who knows.
I will admit, however, that I've seen these guys in concert.
Here's an article on their rumored reunion.

Affordable Automated Braking Safety Packages Coming to Toyota Models
Toyota had a busy time last week at the New York International Auto Show (NYIAS). Not only did the automaker unveil the eighth hybrid to grace its lineup in the RAV4 Hybrid, but it also donated a brand new modified RAV4 to US Army veteran Alfredo Delossantos. And on top of that, the Japanese automaker officially announced that it would be rolling out affordable automated braking safety packages to all models by the end of 2017.
Until now, such packages have usually been offered only on upper trim levels or in luxury brands' models. Toyota wants to change that by making the safety technology available to a wider range of drivers, with the end result of making the road a safer place for everyone. The technology will initially roll out on the 2016 RAV4 and Avalon models, followed by three more models to be announced later this year. Toyota will keep rolling out the package to different models until all its vehicles are offered with this optional additional safety package.
"Taking high-level driver assist to the next level, the safety packages will be offered as a very-low-cost option and will be systematically introduced across nearly all U.S. Toyota and Lexus models and trim levels, top-to-bottom, by the end of 2017," explained Jim Lentz, President and CEO Toyota Motor North America. "Pushing these systems across our lineup, as quickly as possible, can help protect people in the event of a crash. More importantly it will help prevent some crashes from ever happening in the first place."
Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) helps prevent crashes in three ways: preventing or lessening the impact of rear collisions, keeping drivers within their own lanes, and enhancing safety at night. The technology will come as an optional add-on for buyers of compact vehicles for around $300, and for mid-size and premium models for around $500.
Stay tuned for more information on models that will receive this technology later on this year.

Conservationist, scholar, soldier, white hunter and fabled lover ¿ Denys Finch Hatton was an aristocrat of leonine nonchalance. After a dazzling career at Eton and Oxford, he sailed in 1910 for British East Africa. There he first had an affair with the glamorous aviatrix Beryl Markham, and then ¿ famously ¿ with Karen Blixen, a romance immortalised in her memoir Out of Africa. ¿No one who ever met him,¿ his Times obituary concluded, ¿whether man or woman, old or young, white or black, failed to come under his spell.¿
Too Close to the Sun is a story of big guns and small planes, princes from England and sultans from Zanzibar, marauding lions, syphilis, self-destruction and the tragedy of the human heart. Sara Wheeler tracks her quarry from a dreamlike Edwardian childhood in a Lincolnshire mansion through to the battlefields of the East African campaign ¿ one of the last remaining untold stories of the First World War. An elusive hero in the mythic story of the British settlers in East Africa, Finch Hatton was the open road made flesh, and Wheeler uses his biography to illuminate a generation.

Business and community leaders attended the ceremony where community leaders presented three business organisations a Good Business Egg Award of New Zealand. Winners for 2014 included: the Department of Conservation (DOC) for their outstanding work in educating New Zealanders through the environment; CQHotels Wellington for their contribution to community health; and The Warehouse for community empowerment.
Over the past year, seventy-nine businesses have been judged on their commitment to the community, as surveys and questionnaires were collected and a judging panel formed for each category. Included in the list were LBG members ANZ, BNZ, Cadbury (Mondeléz), Holden, NZ Post, Optus and Westfield. LBG Director Simon J. Robinson said this recognises the commitment by LBG members to their local communities and said, "it is inspiring to see our members in New Zealand recognised for the authentic corporate community investment they achieve."
The Hon. Jo Goodhew Minister of The Community and Voluntary Sector spoke at the event in support of business commitment to New Zealand communities. "The winners epitomise businesses that are working to enhance the betterment of their communities, whilst gaining positives from their community connections," says Mrs Goodhew. "Collectively they have closely engaged with a very significant number of people in communities across New Zealand to share their skills."
BACS founder Julie Donvin-Irons, of the Stanley East Company explained "Many NZ businesses invest in the community and the Good Business Eggs of New Zealand Awards are significant. Business gets some acknowledgment for what they do and the value lies in what the community truly thinks of them." Julie highlighted that company size does not matter, stating that "...whether a global giant or small enterprise they have been recognised for the quality of their investment in communities".
LBG sponsored the event, along with the Funding Information Service (FIS), Cadbury and the Stanley East Company.

Dirty Laundry
This project outlines my own experience with emotional and sexual abuse, taking phrases said to me by individuals who were abusive in some fashion, and putting them onto underwear. I had a goal of taking sexual abuse out of the 'taboo' closet, airing this heavy topic, and exhibiting it in an effort to create conversation.
These pairs of women's panties were embroidered and silk screened by myself with phrases said to me by people who were abusive and who, in saying these things, damaged my self worth. This project was undertaken over the course of a week, as my cumulative body of work at the end of my Fibre Arts Specialization in Haliburton.

I had my period on June 6th and sex on June 27th. After having unprotected sex I had the first emergency contraceptive pill (Postinor) 5 hours later. I had the second pill 17 hours later. Do I have a very high chance of pregnancy, keeping in mind that I have irregular periods? I am freaked out. I plead for your advice.
Thanks a million!
Your risk of pregnancy is very low, but would have been far lower had you used a condom.
Important question: What contraceptive do you plan to use going forward?
Her reply on 7-4: "Thanks a million for your feedback. Sorry I have another question. When can I expect my period and regarding the previous question, just thought it would be important to let you know that I have irregular periods. Are my chances still low?"
RAHs' reply on 7-5: Emergency contraceptive pills can cause the next period to be unpredictable. Repeat a pregnancy test in one week.
RAH's reply on 7-14: I have 3 questions for you:
- Have you had a period yet?
- Did you do a pregnancy test? If so, what were the results?
- What have you decided to use as your ongoing contraceptive?
RAH's reply on 7-25: Repeat that pregnancy test (a sensitive urine pregnancy test – not a blood test). Let me know the results.
RAH's reply on 7-25: Repeat that pregnancy test (a sensitive urine pregnancy test – not a blood test). Let me know the results.

About MassMEDIC
Founded in 1996, the Massachusetts Medical Device Industry Council (MassMEDIC) is the largest regional MedTech association in the United States, with over 300 members representing manufacturers, product developers, suppliers, research institutions and academic health centers. Over the past 20+ years, the efforts of MassMEDIC and its members have driven industry success and growth in the region, establishing Massachusetts as a world leader in this sector.
The Challenges You're Facing
Today's healthcare environment, with its focus on driving higher quality care at a lower cost, presents both opportunities and challenges for the MedTech industry. Advanced testing and procedures, coupled with new trends such as population health management and connected care, are fueling innovations in devices, diagnostics and digital health.
At the same time, MedTech companies are compelled to make significant changes to all aspects of their operations to contend with greater regulatory oversight, complex new policies (such as the FDA's UDI rule), and pressures from healthcare providers around everything from pricing to healthcare acquired infections (HAI) reduction and cybersecurity. Not to mention the impact of payment reform, continued competition from abroad and global supply chain issues.
MassMEDIC Is Your Partner in Addressing These Challenges.
"MassMEDIC offers a number of key events that provide new and upcoming medical device companies with the opportunity to present their novel technologies to leaders in the MedTech industry."

Look at last week's article about media LIES on the new unemplyment claims that come out every Friday. This blog was right, again (parsent score: The Maverick Conservative 10,372 Media 0). Does Rick Santelli (on CNBC, but a MOLE in an organization in which he does not fit) read this blog? You would thnk so, snce this morning he said the very sAME things that this blog has been tellng you about new unemplyment claims daims data released by the government every Thursday, and about government empllyhment data in general. As Santelli said this morning, the data has become so DISTROTED that it is almost USELESS.
What did this blog tell yu last week? The media--all of them, except me and Santelli--told yu last week taht new unemplyment claims DROPPED 6,00, to 357,000 (from a REVISED number for the previous week--see last week's article). What this blog, and Santelli, are telling yoyu--this blog in advaqnce--is that the headines last week were a LIE. This Thursday's weekly reort came out today, and REVISEDlast week's number from 357,000 to 357,000. That's right. Instead of DROPPING last week 'suposed" "good" news), the number ROSE last week (bad news). You just can't LIE any worese thqan that, but our media does it EVERY WEEK on these numbers (as Santelli told yo this morning).
thus, what was the LIE this morning? The LIE was that new unempyment claims rose by 13,000, to 380,000. Now that is a truly BAD number--another indication that we may be REPEATING the pattern of the past two years; a pattern of supposed "good" news in the winer, replaced by "bad" news as we proceed into spring and summer. But this media statement that new calims (measure of layoffs) rose 13,000 is the usual LIE. Rick Santelli said it this way (correctly): "The way I look at it, claims rose 23,000. That is the difference between the 380,00000 initially reported this week and the 357,000 initially reported last week". That is exactly right, and what this blog has been telling you for YEARS> This week's number will be REVISED next week. We don't know what the final number will be. But n an APPLES-toAPPLES basis, the number ROSE 23,000 from last week (comparing UNREVISED number with UNREVISED number). No matter how you look at it, we are 23,000 jobs WORSE OFF tghan we were in last week's report. As this blog has shown, the usual pattern is for that to be REPEATED next week--teh lie to be repeated--as the number (the 380,000 this week) is almsot ALWAYS revised UPWARD. That upward revisin is becoming WORSE. It used to be consistently around 3,000. Two weeks ago, the reviison was 16,000. This week the UPWARD revision was 10,000. The weekly number appears to be getting MORE UNRELIABLE (and it was never very reliable).
Now others on CNBC were telling yu that EASTERdistorted the "seasonabl adjustment", so that 380,000 may be too high (unreliable). That is actualy correct. But it merely PROVES what Santelli and I have been telling you: The "seasonal adjustment" has been obviously UNRELIABLE for a LONG TIMME. Santelli even told you what this blog has been telling you: that the apparetn "improvement" in new unemplyment calims this winter might be ENTIRELY due to the WATHER (distorting the seasonal adjutment) . What Santelli and I are tellig you EVERY WEEK is that--despite the media LIES in reporting these as concrete numbers--is that this reorted number of new unemplyment claims iss NOT a matter of accounting. It is an ADJUSTED number, and the adjustment often is WRONG. Santelli even mentioned the same apparent new SEASONAL PATTERN in new unemplymemnet claims, not adequately "figured" in the current ADJUSTMENT formulas. As this blog has told yu, it is even WORSE as far as the MONTHLY emplyment numbers are concerned. Santelli told lyou that he is beginning to believe thqat ALL of tese numbers have become pretty much USELESS. Yet, the ENTIRE case for an "improving" economy has rested on these FALLIBLE numbers. I still think that the weekly number of new unemplyment claims has some significance, OVER TIME. I agree with Santelli that the MONTHLY numbers are USELESS. Too many games; too many "adjustments". Too little attentin to CHANGES in seasonal patterns.
For three months, essentially since the beginning of this year, there as been NO IMPROVEMENT in new unemplyment claims. In fact, we are now at the TOP of the recent range. For FOUR STRAIGHT WEEKS, as I told you probably WOULD happen (next wekek;s news today) last week, the number of new unemplyment caims has been above 360,0000. The 380,000 SHATTERED the recent range of 350,000 to 365,000, and would be REALLY BAD news, if confirmed as the new trend. However, it is Easter, and you have to wait and see if that number is "real". The TREND is now BAD, and has NOAT been "good" ever since the number first went below 360,000. The most that you can say is that "improvement" STALLED for most of the first three months, and is now giving indications of REVERSAL. Yet, the media has continued to cite these numbers as "evidence" of "improvement" int he economy, when they have been showing NO IMPROVING TREND. Look at how the media may LIE next week. Say that Easter skewed the numbers, and that nextg week's number is 365,000. The media is going to say that shows the "improving trend" is intact, and reportt it as "great" news, when that will be another LIE. You would EXPECT the number to go down toward the top of the recent range next week--that is, down toward 365,000. If that does NOT happen, then we are well on our way to REPEATING the pattern of the past two years. In fact, next week's number needs to go to 350,000, just to show a two-week average of 365,000 (the ATOP of the recent range).
Do you tink "economists" figured in Easter in their calculaitons, or had ANY CLUE? Nope. Economists regularly put themselves into that class of people--Wall Street economists and Wall Street people in general-who are The Stupidest Peole on Earth . "Economists" had "predicted" that this week's number would be 355,000. Hey, they only missed it by 25,0000. Stick with this bog. Predictions in The Maverick Conservative actually tend to COMEA TRUE. As statedm, I would EXPECTA the number to be below 380,000 next week. If it is not, then I think we can come pretty close to saiying that the APPARENT improvement in the labor market has NOT BEEN REAL. That is the problem with saying that this apparent DETERIORATION has not been "real". That means that the prior "improvement"--except there has been none since almsot the beginning of the year--has nto been real either.
P.S. No proofreading or spell checking (bad eyesight).

What a life! What a man!
He defined the term "living legend".
Ralph Edmund Stanley (February 25, 1927 – June 23, 2016)
Ralph Stanley, a 1st generation bluegrass pioneer has died at age 89 according to reports in the Tennessean newspaper.
Stanley died at his home in Sandy Ridge, Virginia, because of difficulties from skin cancer, publicist Kirt Webster said.
Stanley was given an honorary doctorate of music from Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, Tennessee, in 1976, and he was often referred to as "Dr. Ralph Stanley."
Stanley began playing music in 1946, originally with his brother Carter as part of The Stanley Brothers, and most often as the leader of his band, The Clinch Mountain Boys.
He was part of the first generation of bluegrass musicians and was inducted into both the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Honor and the Grand Ole Opry.
Ralph Edmond Stanley was born, grew up, and lived in rural Southwest Virginia—"in a little town called McClure at a place called Big Spraddle, just up the holler" from where he moved in 1936 and lived ever since in Dickenson County.
The son of Lee and Lucy Stanley, Ralph did not grow up around a lot of music in his home. As he says, his "daddy didn't play an instrument, but sometimes he would sing church music. And I'd hear him sing songs like 'Man of Constant Sorrow,' 'Pretty Polly' and 'Omie Wise.'"
"I got my first banjo when I was a teenager. I guess I was 15, 16 years old. My aunt had this old banjo, and Mother bought it for me ... paid $5 for it, which back then was probably like $5,000. [My parents] had a little store, and I remember my aunt took it out in groceries" Stanley reported in an interview.
He learned to play the clawhammer style banjo from his mother:

How To Tell If Your Fuel Filter Is Clogged
Fuel: your automobile runs on it, obviously, but it's not the only thing that gets into your car. Contaminants, dirt, and the odd thing make their way into your fuel, which goes all throughout the car.
If there's no fuel getting to your engine, the vehicle won't go. So how do you prevent this problem? Read on.
The fuel filter will collect all manner of contaminants. Remember how you get your gas from the gas station? Well that gas is also stored in giant tanks underground. These tanks corrode and get dirty' just like your gas tank can. Dirt, rust, and other contaminants go from the gas station;s tank to your vehicle's, and it's the fuel filter's job to prevent that stuff from reaching your fuel injection system and engine.
You can tell that you may need a new fuel filter by looking for a few basic signs. When you hit the gas, your vehicle does one of the following:
- Shudders
- Sputters
- Hesitates
- Lacks Power
- Stalls
When your fuel filter gets clogged, not enough gas gets to your engine, which causes a loss of power, or could even result in a vehicle stall.
In addition, your vehicle may be underperforming because the fuel filter is getting dirty or clogged without showing obvious signs of distress. For older vehicles, manufacturers may recommend changing your fuel filter every 12,000 miles, but that number may varies widely. Depending on your environment and driving habits, you may have to change your filter sooner than the recommended interval. Some are designed for extended service and there is no maintenance interval for fuel filter replacement. Check your Chilton subscription for maintenance intervals as well as tests, troubleshooting, diagnostics, and technical service bulletins.
You can also remove your fuel filter to see how it looks. You'll need a few tools like wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers, and pliers' although, again, your specific needs will vary based on your vehicle. Fuel filters are attached to the fuel line in various ways. Check your Chilton subscription for instructions for your vehicle.
Filters are fairly inexpensive, starting at around $15, and some cost much more than that. Consult your owner's manual for information about the specific fuel filter you need.
When you remove the fuel filter, you'll see what sort of fuel spills out. Gasoline should be relatively clear, with a bluish hue. If the fuel in the filter is brown or more opaque, that's a sure sign you should change it.
If you're handy, changing your fuel filter is an easy, inexpensive project to do at home. It usually requires few tools and only a little time. Consult your Chilton subscription for the fuel filter maintenance interval and fuel filter replacement procedure.

Golf in New Zealand has a storied history, and if we refer to sport in an industry sense, one that is fast growing on the back of Kiwi golfers strutting their stuff on the big stage. Michael Campbell's win at the 2005 US Open certainly revived interest in the sport, and one that has just kept spinning over a decade later.
As such, there are around 390 golf courses dotting the Land of the Long White Cloud, each with their own unique characteristics and natural beauty. Four of these, situated around Auckland, represent the highest pinnacle of each aspect. In this article, we've gone through the ins and outs of each of these four courses, part of our 7 day Auckland tour.
Titirangi Golf Club
The Titirangi Golf Club took the old adage "risk and reward" and ran with it, and this Alister MacKenzie designed course presents a challenge at every turn. Formidable tree lines follow almost every hole along the course, and the bunkers are designed to hurt anyone that strays off path. Don't let that scare you off, though, this is a driver's course, and will be a fun and enjoyable day out for anyone.
Formosa Auckland Country Club
Designed by Bob Charles – the first Kiwi and left hander to win a major tournament – The Formosa rewards those that either just enjoy the recreational side of golf, or those that are pinpoint accurate. Strategically placed bunkers and hazards place demand on players to get it right each time, and the sights of the plains on the horizon and Waiheke Island are as picture perfect as you will find anywhere else.
Gulf Harbour Country Club
A long, winding course situated on the shoreline of the Hauraki Gulf, this course moves over gentle hills and slopes, presenting a beautiful, if not demanding challenge to behold. Treelines can be vicious in on some holes, whilst others present uncompromising rough as the main hazard, offering great diversity throughout the course. The approach down the 18th is perhaps the most spectacular – a slightly downhill, long hole that leads up to the grand clubhouse.
The Grange Golf Club
Deceptively open and free flowing, whilst featuring numerous slopes and hills, the eight time host of the New Zealand Open is a challenge for even the most seasoned of golfers. The course is immaculate and perfectly sculpted through every hole, and is an iconic sight of golf in New Zealand. A few tricky par 3's break up the series of doglegs and driving holes found throughout the 18, with quite a large number of the greens well protected by some strategically placed bunkers.

Hi, I have some knowledge about encoding problems in POI,and things Japan. So I describe it.I'm glad if it helps your discussion :) >Do you mean the the Excel file itself knows and can communicate what >encoding is used? Is it somewhere in its record structure? Otherwise, >how are you going to know what encoding to use, unless you let the >client application pass it in? I don't have the Bible of Excel files format :P,but I found there is in each Record object that contains string in my local experiments. there is 2 cases. 1.16Bit Unicode(like UTF-16LE you are naming ENCODING_UTF_16) 2.16Bit Unicode,but the high byte of each characters cutted off (you are naming ENCODING_COMPRESSED_UNICODE). This may be simply ISO-8859-1.I don't know how you should manage the codes U+00A0-U+00FF in XLS format XP Perhaps,in engilsh locale,using case2.and in other regions, using case1. BoundSheetRecord#field_4_compressed_unicode_flag indicate it. In HeaderRecord and FooterRecord,it is not implemented, (Now I submitted a patch Bug 17039 because it is only a simple bug,as a lack of the implementation:D)but there is a byte as a flag to indicate it. I don't know things about the values in each cells XP And,in Java process,character encoding should be 16bitUnicode. It is in the specification of Java. Even if a String object contains characters that is not 16bitUnicode,it is NOT YOUR BUSINESS.The responsibility to operate it as correct semantic is in each application's developers. We Japanese are often using local encoding rules called Shift_JIS or EUC_JP or JIS(or Windows-31J XP).When we make a Java process, we often use java.io.Reader or java.io.Writer to change encoding between native rule and 16BitUnicode.We often use other way to manage the encoding of Strings.So, what you should do is to say "POI will accept only true 16BitUnicode"(and fix small bugs:D), I feel. Now I'm using POI with a lot of Japanese String(16BitUnicode), It woks good(except HSSFHeader & HSSFFooter:)). Thanks. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrew C.

The 2d's travel for work and fun – it's a bonus when you can get fun out of a work trip. Here are a few general tips we can pass on about traveling – all posts also have a few tips called out in them.
- Buy a guide – We're big fans of the Lonely Planet series or for the uber-cool (and sometimes deep-pocketed), there's also the Wallpaper series. The Lonely Planet series has a good overview of where you're going, maps, easy to follow layout, and good, honest reviews on places to stay (also broken down in to a range of budgets) and eat. Obviously this isn't for those who just want to show up and experience whatever happens, but as you've may have learned in the About section, dpr doesn't excel in the 'just winging it' department.
- Visas and vaccinations – Make sure you know whether or not you'll require a visa to enter a country *before* you get there (sometimes you'll need to get it before you go, and sometimes you can get it on arrival). You can find this out online or through a good travel agent. The same goes for vaccinations – a good travel medical clinic will be able to counsel you on this or you can find out the information online. Make sure you keep your basic vaccinations up to date, and for some countries, you will require proof of vaccination upon entry. Do your homework before you go!
- Hotels/accommodation – Use the free resources that are out there to help you decide. Tripadvisor is a great resource we always go to before we book for hotels and even for some alternatives like condos, apartments, and houses. People are honest and you can always weed out the super high-maintenance reviews. Another good sign is if the management team responds to good and bad reviews. We won't book a condo or an Airbnb reservation unless we've read at least one review. We always contact the owner with lots of questions, too, which will generally give you an idea if you're a fit for the property/owner or not. The fitness centre is another big thing for us – what are the hours, are there pics, or where's the closest gym?
- Cars/other transportation– We often find that hotwire.com gives great rates that we can't get on cars from the rental places, but you can only do a return rental (i.e. pick up and drop off from the same place). We've never had to cancel a hotwire reservation, but this might not be an option for you if you think that might be the case. Will you need a GPS? Bring your own and save the outrageous daily fee or if you're old-school, CAA and AAA have free maps and guides for members. If you're staying in a city with good mass transportation, ask at the station about buying a daily/weekly pass or a card that will give you bonuses for use – these are often cheaper than buying a ticket for every trip.
- If you're flying, make sure you have an assigned seat on your ticket – We will never book a ticket that doesn't give us assigned seats – whether we need to pay a small fee or it's part of the ticket price. This might seem like a no-brainer, but it's not for everyone. Just remember that if you don't have an assigned seat, you're going to be the first one staying put when/if the plane is oversold. If you have time on your hands and want a voucher, that's cool, but if not, get the assigned seats.
- Buying your plane tickets online – They're generally cheaper on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (even if by $20 or so – hey, that's another meal at your destination!). There's also usually a window 2-3 months before you travel where they're also at their lowest (except for high seasons like Christmas). I'll often use Expedia to compare from one carrier to another, but then we'll book directly with the airline's website – sorry, Expedia, but we'd rather deal directly with the airline if I have to make a cancellation or if there's a change.
- Points (of all kinds) – We're point-seekers and users – you'll notice that when you read our Adventures. The main airline we travel with is Air Canada simply because we live in Toronto, so we seek out associated hotels, flights, car rentals where we can earn Aeroplan/Star Alliance points. Sometimes it's worth paying a few more bucks for a flight or for a credit card that lets you collect these points (at least to us). And when we go to cash in those points, we always determine whether it's actually worth using them or paying (e.g. we haven't paid for a flight from Toronto to Edmonton for nearly 10 years, and why would we want to when it runs between $500-800 depending on the time of year?). Sometimes you'll need to book points flights pretty far in advance, depending on the destination and the season, so if you start thinking that you want to use points for a major holiday, start checking things out as soon as you can (you can usually book up to a year in advance).
- If you travel a lot outside of Canada (especially between the US and Canada), have you considered getting a Nexus card? We got ours last year and haven't looked back – avoid those nasty Customs lines and breeze right through the kiosks instead (be warned that you can't carry food with you if you're going to use your Nexus card, otherwise you'll be in secondary screening, and also be warned that Customs agents can randomly pull you aside in to secondary screening anyway if you use Nexus). Many airports also have a separate security line for Nexus card holders that's part of the priority lane. The application procedure is easy – fill out an online application, pay a fee, head to the nearest interview centre to speak with both US and Canadian Customs agents.
- Do you really need to check in baggage? Only rarely will we check in baggage, even for a trip of 2 weeks to Hawaii, it's been carry-on only. Remember that all liquids over 100 mL need to be checked in – but can you buy the mini toiletries that suffice for carry-on allowance, and if you need a jug of sunscreen, can you buy it at your destination instead? Also, do you really need to pack that hairdryer, or will the hotel have one? Can you wash clothes while you're away? Or do you really need a new outfit for everyday? Even when traveling for work, you can pack smartly with a couple of bottoms and a few tops to rotate. This will allow you to avoid waiting for baggage (and yes, our biggest motivator for this strategy has been waiting for baggage at our home airport, Pearson International – we've waited for over an hour, more than once, for our so-called priority-tagged luggage).
- Know what you need to pull out for security at the airport. Prepare for this ahead of time – this might also seem like a no-brainer, but for people who don't travel often, it's not. Put all your liquids and gels in a sandwich-sized baggie that's easy to access in your bag (*remember, nothing over 100 mL here, so no bottles of water and down your coffee before you get to the security belt), and put it in a basket along with your laptop, belt, and stuff from your pockets. Put your shoes on the belt, and put your jacket, purse, etc., in another bin. If you have a metal bottle for water, pull it out – they always ask for this to be removed from dpr's bag. Knowing what you have to do makes this part of the trip a little less stressful when there's a big line up.

A team of two from Plas Pencelli Outdoor Centre took Boswell, our Boma 7 All Terrain wheelchair, up to the summit of Pen-y-Fan on Friday. It was misty (as the photo shows) so sadly no views. This was a trial ascent to see how do-able it is.
The team found that Boswell could manage the entire route fine and took 55 minutes to get to the summit. The entire trip was ~7 miles and Boswell managed it happily on 1 charge. As anticipated, the
30 odd drainage ditches across the path proved challenging with Boswell's smaller front wheels dropping down into them and having to climb out again every time one was crossed. Boswell coped OK but the sheer number of them made it wearing and fairly uncomfortable for the rider. We are exploring whether plastic ramps (of the sort used for cars getting out of snow) might help bridge the drainage channels and make the ride more comfortable.
Anyway, it was an exciting achievement and evidence of the Boma 7's impressive capability in rough and challenging terrain.
In the right weather, it is possible that ascents of Pen-y-Fan in Boswell could be made by special arrangement by someone with restricted mobility hiring the Boma 7 accompanied by a qualified local guide. Contact us if you would like to discuss possibilities.

28 Aug 2015 American Junior Results
St. Augustine, Fla. – There was no stopping Andrew Alligood in his quest to reach a double-digit below par tournament score. He followed up on his -7 in yesterday's round with a -6 today to finish 14 under par for the three rounds of competition to claim the winner's trophy.
That gave Alligood back-to-back victories in the American Junior held at the Slammer & Squire course in World Golf Village. Last year he won the event with an eight-under par 208.
Sofia Seldemirova put together seven birdies and nine holes of par in today's competition. Only two bogeys kept her from finishing seven under. It was a great round and Seldemirova had a big smile on her face as she accepted the winner's trophy after finishing -1 for the three rounds.
"It was a good tournament really for me," said Seldemirova. "I am happy because it is my first time playing a tournament under par. It was a low round for me with a minus five. I am really happy with this.
The two bogeys were really, really stupid. They were the holes that I made birdies through other rounds, but still I can't complain. It was a great round."
For Alligood, the only thing that was missing from his game today was a red cape and a large letter "S' on his chest. After a second round that put him eight under par for two rounds, he took the course this morning looking to accomplish a new goal.
After his outstanding game yesterday, he said his goal was to achieve a double-digit-below-par score in this tournament. That would be his first ever double-digit low tournament score.
"That was my only focus for the tournament. It was cool when you are so focused on making a goal, other than winning. It kind of distracts you from where you are on the course. Then, once I got to double digits, Rags (Justin) Ragognetti, my coach, said 'okay let's get to 15 under. Let's see how low you can go.'"
Alligood admitted he had a little bit of trouble with his putting game today. If he was having difficulty, his competition must have really been having problems. He recorded eight birdies in today's round and said he should have made three more.
"Putting is really hard on these greens," said Alligood." I don't know why. They are perfectly smooth, perfectly speedy, it is just, I don't know.
"I have not seen anybody putt well (today), including myself. I don't know what it is. I had a lot of shorter birdie putts which helped."
Alligood opened the day on the 10th hole and by the time he had completed three holes, he was already two under. He scored two more birdies before he completed the back nine and was already four under.
Alligood added two more birdies in the final nine holes, but a bogey on the par four 17th hole and another bogey on the 1st hole kept him to a six under in today's play and gave him a three-round total of 202 and the 2015 American Junior championship.
Janes Lombardo from Germany finished in second place in the Boys Division with -3. He played a solid and consistent game, recording 14 pars, three birdies and one bogey on the day.
"My driving was pretty consistent, my iron game was good as well," Lombardo said. "My putting was okay but I missed a couple of birdie putts, especially on the last three holes. I played consistent I had many greens in regulation and many fairways. I felt pretty good about the day."
Popular Nigerian golfer Tokunbo Toks Pedro finished in third place for the Boys Division with a +1 for three days of play. The problem with his game today was that he could not take advantage of the eight birdies he hit. Those minus scores were pretty much offset by seven bogeys and one double bogey.
"I struggled off the tee but I was really good with everything else," Perdo explained."This course is one of those courses that you have to put yourself in position, and if you are struggling off the tee, you are going to have a lot of problems making pars.
"I had a lot of penalty strokes from tee shots and that is what put me into trouble. I was in the water and lost balls. I putted great, I hit my wedges great, I hit my irons pretty well and just kept giving, myself chances for birdies."
Rounding out the top three in the Girls Division were Maria Fernanda Martinez from Mexico with +12 and Phu Pwint Yati Khine, finishing at +14.

Dive computers are commonly used by Scuba Divers today. Dive computers provide and record large amounts of information during your dive. Each manufacturer and every dive computer provides different kinds of information. The most common information is depth, time of day, bottom time, water temperature, date, maximum depth, ascent warning, log mode, as well as many others. There are generally two types of computers, stand-alone and air-integrated.
Stand-alone computers are independent of your other dive gear. It does not monitor the amount of air in your cylinder. Stand-alone computers can be wrist mounted or in a console with your pressure gauge. Stand-alone computers are easy to transfer or use with other diving configurations and are generally on the lower end of a manufacturer's model line.
Air-integrated computers or gas-integrated computers connect to your regulator via the high-pressure port. They replace the standard analog pressure gauge because they are responsible for measuring the amount of air in your cylinder. This type of computer is more complicated and relies on electronics to monitor the air supply in your cylinder, depth, bottom time, etc. Basically, it's an all-in-one package, meaning less to carry, but if the batteries fail or something else fails with the unit, your dive is over, maybe for the whole day or trip.
Most computers today are nitrox compatible, meaning that they will accept a different gas mixture than standard air. Nitrox mixtures contain more oxygen and less nitrogen, so your no-decompression limits differ when diving nitrox. Nitrox computers require you to set the oxygen percentage you are diving, which mean they can be a little more complicated. For details on diving nitrox, refer to the nitrox section of this website.
More and more computers allow you to program more than one diving gas into the computer. There are a number of two-gas model computers on the market today. Two-gas model computers allow you to program a primary dive gas and a secondary dive gas for one dive. Many times, the secondary dive gas is used for decompression, which means you're exceeding no-decompression limits. Make sure you have the proper training before conducting decompression dives.
Computers provide you a lot of information about your dive, which is stored in a log in the memory of the computer. This log can be reviewed later or downloaded to a computer for storage or for building your logbook. The log function can be very valuable, especially when planning future dives to the same area, because you can look up things like maximum depth, water temperature, bottom times, etc. This information can make dive planning much easier.
When looking to buy a dive computer, don't rush out and buy the first one you see. Shop around and do some research about the features and functions they offer. Talk to active divers who use computers and found out what they use, how they like their computer, or what they would want if they purchased another computer. Because there are so many on the market, deciding how to spend your money can be confusing. Shop around and ask for help so that your purchase is a valuable one.
Cost: $250 to $1500
Bottom timers
Bottom timers provide depth, dive time, temperature, and maximum depth. They are not computers, meaning they don't track nitrogen or oxygen exposure. Bottom timers are used often by technical divers when using decompression software to cut dive tables.
Cost: $150

The family of a missing Michigan woman who has serious health problems is concerned for her safety and is appealing to the public for help finding her.
Donna Hudson, 50, was last seen by a family member at a restaurant on Detroit's east side on June 8. She missed a doctor's appointment the following morning and her current whereabouts are unknown.
Hudson has a heart condition, among other health issues, and does not have her medication with her, according to her sister, Beatrice Dinwiddie, 46, of Detroit.
"We are very worried about her," Dinwiddie told The Huffington Post. "This is very out of character for her. I usually take her where she needs to go and she usually calls me or her grandchildren at least every other day."
Related Resources:

Dinwiddie said her sister's health has declined in recent years and that she has suffered from a heart attack and two strokes.
"She has not picked up her medication from the pharmacy or anything," she said.
Individuals living on the east side near Hudson's old neighborhood at Van Dyke and Miller have claimed they spotted Hudson with an unknown man prior to her disappearance. The man allegedly claimed Hudson owed him money and beat her.
"A few people said that guy jumped her but I don't know how true it is," Dinwiddie said.
Contacted by HuffPost, a spokeswoman for the Detroit Police Department said authorities have no evidence of foul play.
"Right now all we know is that she is missing," the spokeswoman said Wednesday.
Dinwiddie is hoping someone will come forward with information that leads to her missing family member.
"I don't know what really happened to her," she said. "We miss her and we are hoping she is alright."
Hudson is 5-feet, 7-inches tall, weighs about 105 pounds and has brown eyes, short gray hair and a medium brown complexion. She was last seen wearing a white shirt, light blue jeans and white gym shoes.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Detroit Police Department's Criminal Investigations Bureau at 313-596-1340.

Macon police charged a third suspect after a recent string of armed robberies that included two holdups this week on Bloomfield Road at the Family Dollar store and Nu-Way restaurant.
Antonio Knight, 17, turned himself in Thursday at the Macon detective bureau and confessed to taking part in the first armed robbery of the Family Dollar store late last year, according to a Macon police news release.
Knight said he was not involved in other armed robberies tied to Rodriquex Alexandra Snell, 19, and an unnamed 16-year-old.
Snell and the juvenile are accused of this week's robberies and an armed robbery that took place Saturday morning in the parking lot of the Golden Corral on Presidential Parkway, which is in Bibb County's jurisdiction.

Just got it and it's amazing!
Outstanding! S.
Products were great , shorts are awesome!! Just purchased 2 more pair!! 5 Star
About two months ago I dropped this mug.. my perfect coffee days were gone in an instant. So I went online to find in bold black letters SOLD OUT, and the side banner "email me when back in stock". My coffee world came to a grinding holt, pun intended. Last week I got that email from ZeroFoxtrot.. you know the one I'm talking about. The one that took all of 10 secondos to push the link, select, buy and receive purchase request the best coffee mug ever!! Perfect coffee days are back on track.
Great coffee mug...I can get my go fast with one fill up....ramped up...blood on the highway.
In the day and age of machines it's great to see a handmade cup of great quality. The misses and I have already planned out the next several cups to purchase.
Packaging was well done, even though post and customs were in no hurry, package arrived safe and sound.
Love the shirt and mug! Nice to see Canadian content.
Communication was friendly, and prompt.
From a vet, Thank you!
Alberta, Canada
Serious Attitude with this sweet stoneware mug!
Great mug. Well worth the money.
Love this mug, I purchased it because I'm overseas and didn't have a coffee mug here. I love the quality and my 'hate and discontent' gets a lot of comments!! Keep up the good work
The second coffee mug I purchased from ZF and I cannot express just how great these things are in craftsmanship and design. Keep it up!
Exceptionally perfect.
The quality of the cup and label is great. The weight is perfect for a determined coffee drinker. It's going to make a great deployment gift for my husband.
Prompt courteous service. Great coffee Cups!
Got this for a duo Fathers day/Birthday Gift. He thought it was bad ass, so good enough for me.
Greatest mug I've ever owned. Definitely will be adding to my collection soon.
Bad ass mug for heavy coffee drinkers like myself. Haven't decided on my next mug purchase but I will add another to my collection
This is one of the coolest fucking things I've ever owned. My coffee tastes so much better, and I am a better person for drinking out of it. I now have the ability to instantaneously kill anyone if they look directly into my eyes while I sip from this chalice. Thank you for forging this in the fires of democracy, and fueling my very soul
If you want a coffee mug that stands above the rest, look no further. Holds all of the good stuff, looks awesome, and handles like a mug worthy of your favorite brew.
Love this cup as much as the last two, will difinaltly be buying more!
Amazing American mug full of hope and aspirations yet determined to crush the soul of anyone not resident enough to hold it. (well done gentlemen - a solid win in both the use and gifting categories)
Awesome mug, a mans mug!!!
I love my coffee mugs and my beer stein. Keep it salty, Zero!
The two coffee mugs I purchased are completely bad ass and high quality. The beer stein looks like it's straight out of a Disney cartoon. I'll buy again. Thanks Zero keep it salty!
Love this thing! It's got such a large capacity for coffee that you practically only need one cup for the whole morning. I've gotten tons of compliments on it too because no one has ever seen something like this mug.
Fast & professional. Everything arrived beautifully.
This mug is amazing! It looks even better in person than it does online. I've had people ask me about it when they see it and want to know where they can get one of their own. This is not my first mug from ZF and I'm sure it won't be my last. Keep the great products coming guys!!
Zero Foxtrot. Excellent quality of work , amazing detail . The iraq mug was not available anymore. Keep up with the supply and deman . Need to order 3 . Keep up the good work .
Great quality mug, great design
Loved my mug. Beautiful colors and great design. However, less than a week of use and it made a spill off a shelf and didn't survive the fall. I loved it while it lasted. My Great War cup took the same fate when the accident occurred.
I love this coffee mug, great quality, excited to drink coffee from it every time.
This mug is amazing! It's big for those of us who need more than one cup of coffee, it's well made and solid, and then logo makes it a true warrior's mug!
Enough said. Keeps my coffee hot and is a great conversation starter. Not that I talk too much before half the cup is gone.
No better way to get ready for today's challenge than to grab a mug of confidence
The coffee steins that I purchased are too awesome for words! They always give me that veteran's pride when I look at them. So many of my friends and loved ones ask me about them and where I got them. I tell them that if they want to support the great veterans and active duty soldiers of our nation, then buy the sweet products that veteran-owned companies offer! You won't regret it!
Love this mug, it's badass! Thank you!
Very cool mug worth the money! Will be buying more
Awesome design, holds a large amount of coffee. Really great mug! Gets lots of positive comments.
Excellent service! Unbelievable quality of the mug! All my friends are envious! I can't wait to order more!
The design on this mug is fantastic! The hand craftsmanship is well worth your money and I will definitely purchase more ZF drink ware. However, when I first used the mug I found that the mug was slightly scratching the desk I placed it on. To fix that I just sanded down the bottom of the mug with 100 grit sandpaper. I own 4 mugs and steins from ZF and this was the first mug I had an issue with so the likely hood of you having an issue is very small! Awesome hand craftsmanship!
Beautifully made. Love this cup!
When I hold the mug in my hands and my coworkers at the office see it, they stay away from me. Just the way I like it!
What you see is a great looking and well designed mug. What you don't see is the materials this thing is forged from. Its some serious stoneware more than worthy to be part of your EDC. Gun, Blade, MUG!
This is my fifth mug of this style and I love it! I have given two smaller mugs as gifts and they say they always get comments and requests on where they got it. I love the stein because I have decided to drink less "cups" of coffee so going from my "hate and discontent" mug to my "coffee and honor" stein has really made the translation easier!!! I love these mugs!!!
I believe the helmet on the Mug was inspired by the name on my title. Great quality mug, and you can take pride in knowing it was made in the United States. I use it for my Coffee every morning, Inise it for my mead every other night. Great quality. Fine addition to my zulu mug/stein collection.
Pretty pricey but a well made mug!
Great quality shirts and mugs. Definitely making another purchase.
Top shelf mug!!! Love it!!!
Great Coffee, high octane way to start my day!
Great mug. Now I started a collection. Shipping is lightning fast.
Great coffee cup, well made heavy weight not a cheaply made cup. It was my favorite
Until one of my kids knoked it off a shelf.
I will be ordering another soon.
coffee and Mug was great, stoked on my purchase!
Honestly cant get enough of the coffee!
I am kind of a coffee mug snob, and this one is absolutely amazing. It has a permanent place on my desk for my all-day coffee. The handle is nice and large, and it also has a nice and stable shape, so it won't tip over if something knocks into it. Great product! Thank you!
This is my second purchase from ZF, and as with the last, I was not disappointed. The materials are excellent, the design of the mug is comfortable to use and drink out of, it's sturdy and heavy, which I like, and it holds plenty of whichever beverage I'm currently sipping.
10/10, I'll be buying more. Thank you for another great product, and thank you for your service.
Given it a run with coffee and beer! Massive mug and colours are great!
This new coffee mug is wicked awesome brah. It's huge, like me. The colors are unreal and the quality can't be matched. Zero never fails to deliver. Thanks again brah
Nice mug with HL Mencken reference. Wish the handle was a tad bigger to fit my XL glove size hands.
Love it. Well made. Will be used for many years to come!
Love this mug and its great look. Shipped quickly too.
Quality is great. A little expensive for what it is
5 stars mug, made is America! Thank you for your service!
Once again perfect. Bought this for a beer mug rather than coffee, the only thing I I could say against I prefer the shape and colors on the mugs over the Stine but damn of they don't make some damn fine mugs
First off, thank you all for your service! Second, thank you for the outstanding products produced here in the USA made by the ones that served this great country!!! Love the coffee cups! Thanks again
Got these as gifts for Fathers Day and they were a big hit!! Love the weight and oversized mug, definitely my go to mug for coffee now. I moved my "Hate and Discontent" mug to the desk at work lol. Thank you and please get more mugs like this one in your lineup, looking to add to my Zero collection.
Great work of art. Nice and big for lots of coffee. The glaze on this piece is amazing.
The mug i received is amazing. Pictures do this thing no justice. I will for sure get more
All I can say is no one will be disappointed in anyway by your mugs!
Very nice lots of complements from alot of people,great quality
Nice coffe mug, wife put it up in China cabinet, might have to get another.
This mug looks even better in person. My husband loves it, especially the way the top of the mug is made. Badass piece!
Great craftsmanship
Don't just talk the talk... drink the Coffee so you can say it fast true and clear for the Honor!!! RAH! :D
Thanks for a awsome stuff! Everyone is happy with the merchandise! Keep doing what you do!
More amazing stuff!!!! Mugs are tip top and worthy of envy!
This mug is bigger than I thought but it is a work of art. It will make a great Father's Day present. Can't wait for the next thing zero foxtrot brings forth.
Love my new mug
Bought as a gift, it's a lot bigger than expected, made really well and looks fantastic! Hubby was very happy with it.
The best coffee mug I own!
Coffee & Honor (LIMITED)
This is now the second mug that i own by zero foxtrot and i love them both.these mugs are kick ass and i enjoy pooring my freshly brewed coffee into both of them.
Sick mug, great construction and super big! Keeps my java hot.
Beautiful mug, worth every penny
Well manufactured tankard with a richly detailed seal. Another great addition to the ZF selection of drinkware which are inspired by traditions, events, history, and attitudes of the armed forces who sacrifice so much for this country./Users/Loki/Downloads/IMG_1290.JPG
Once upon a time, a man took and stretched the earth out into a tiny little piece, and then threw that small piece of the world onto a wheel, and spun that wheel until it formed a 24 oz mug. Then the earth was thrown into a furnace with a glaze and a stamp, and baked until it was shiny.
And that's what this mug is; the earth, small enough to fit in your mitts, big enough for 24 oz of coffee. Of course it's awesome.
Total badass here. It's too big for coffee though. Better for beer! Either way, another superior product release from ZF.
I was going to order just a mug but liked a couple designs and noticed free shipping on orders over $99 so I went nuts. 2 mugs, a bag of reaper blend, and 2 shirts later and I placed my order. A few days later I got my stuff and the quality is superb. The mugs and shirts look awesome and the coffee tastes great. I'd definitely order again.

Allen Iverson's Reebok Question Mids May Be Getting A Leather & Canvas Makeover
Earlier this year, Reebok re-released the Reebok Questions Mids that Allen Iverson wore when he first came into the NBA. Arguably Iverson's most popular signature sneaker, they went quickly with sneakerheads from all over the world snatching them all up within just a few days of them hitting stores (good luck copping a pair on eBay today if you missed out!). The response was so great that Reebok has even gone back and put together another Iverson re-release, this time choosing to go with the Reebok Answer IV. However, it appears that they're not done with the Questions just yet.
As you can see from the photo above, Reebok seems to be working on a brand-new makeup of the Question Mids that (hopefully!) will be hitting stores soon. The new Reebok Questions are designed with leather and canvas and are presently crafted using royal blue and bright red colorways. Fans of the Reebok Question will definitely have a lot of love for these. They stand out even more prominently than the original Questions and the colorways really make these things pop.
Now, for the bad news. We have absolutely no idea when or where these will turn up. There's actually a chance that they may never hit shelves. Photos of them started making the rounds on the 'net earlier this week (we saw them first on Frank The Butcher's Twitter) and a few people seemed to think that these were samples that Reebok was working on for a wider release sometime in the near future. But, for now, we don't have any details about when or where these will drop. We do know that they're dope, though, and we do know that Reebok would be crazy not to at least consider releasing them. So, what do you say, Swizz Beatz? Can we expect to see these hit stores soon?
