That said, is there any way to add additional horsepower, inexpensively? It has the premium and cold weather packages. Anything else anyone can suggest?

Cook the Book: Duck Rillettes
Oddly, I'd never had duck rillettes—or any rillettes for that matter—until I moved to Brooklyn. Fortunately, Smith Street, the borough's restaurant row, changed all that. Sample, a tiny, global tapas bar with a killer cocktail list (I love their Tamarind Margarita) and a great happy hour, serves duck rillettes on toast for $6. And the relatively new bar JakeWalk often includes jars of incredibly luscious duck rillette on their menu for $7. Forget over-salted peanuts or stale popcorn—these days my bar snack of choice is much more refined.
It's also much fattier. But according to Jennifer McLagan, author of this week's Cook the Book selection, Fat: An Appreciation of a Misunderstood Ingredient, with Recipes, that isn't so bad. In her cookbook, a veritable ode to all things butter and lard, she includes instructions for making Goose, Rabbit, and Spanish-Style Pork Rillettes. Of course, there is also a recipe for classic Duck Rillettes, which I've excerpted for you today.
I recommend serving the rillettes with slices of toasted baguette and a bottle of lightly spiced pinot noir or merlot.
Win 'Fat'
In addition to excerpting a recipe each day this week, we're also giving away five (5) copies of Fat: An Appreciation of a Misunderstood Ingredient, with Recipes. Enter to win here.
Duck Rillettes
- 1 1/2 pounds duck legs, neck, wings, skin, and fat
- 10 1/2 ounces pork belly, skin removed
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1 orange
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 fresh bay leaf
- 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse sea salt
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds, crushed
- Freshly ground black pepper and fine sea salt
Cut the duck legs, neck, and wings in half. Cut the skin and fat into small pieces and the pork belly into 3/4-inch pieces. Place all duck and pork in a large bowl and add the wine. Remove a large strip of zest from the orange and set the orange aside. Peel and halve the garlic cloves, removing the germ (where the shoot starts). Add the orange zest, garlic, bay leaf, coarse salt, and coriander seeds to the duck mixture. Season generously with freshly ground pepper and toss to mix. Marinate 6 to 8 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 250ºF.
Tip the duck mixture with all the seasonings and wine into a heavy casserole or Dutch oven, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is falling off the bone, about 3 hours.
Remove the duck mixture from the oven, and tip it with all the fat and juices into a large, fine-mesh sieve suspended over a bowl. Empty the contents of the sieve onto a large platter, then pour the liquid from the bowl into a measuring cup and set aside. Let the meat mixture cool slightly.
The cooking liquid will have separated into fat and juices. Carefully pour off the fat and set aside. Add about 1/4 cup of the juices to the shredded meat mixture so that it is very moist. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more pepper and fine sea salt if necessary. Finely grate 1 tablespoon of zest from the orange and then squeeze 2 tablespoons of juice. Stir the zest and juice into the mixture.

The following guidelines and tips can help prevent such tragedies by reducing the likelihood of serious or fatal injury:
Water Safety
General: Always actively supervise children near water. Begin teaching children to swim at age 4. Teach children never to swim alone and never to dive into water less than 9-feet deep. Obey all posted safety precautions at beaches and pools.
Pools: All pools should have a locking, gated, 4-sided isolation fence (preferably one that affords visual access, i.e. fine wire- or poly-mesh, wrought iron, etc.) Door alarms, pool alarms, anti-entrapment devices and pool covers can also provide an additional layer of protection when used properly.
Open Water and Boats: Be sure children are equipped with appropriately sized life jackets approved by the U.S. Coast Guard when on boats, near open bodies of water, or when participating in water sports.
Bicycle/Scooter/Skateboard Safety
General: Make sure children wear snug, properly-fitting helmets at all times when biking or riding scooters or skateboards. Be sure children are using properly sized equipment (i.e. on a bicycle, your child's feet should touch the ground when they are sitting on the seat). Teach children the rules of the road and be sure they obey all traffic laws. Be a good example; when riding be sure you always wear a helmet and demonstrate proper etiquette and obey the law and all posted regulations.
Fall Prevention
Windows: Keep chairs, cribs, changing tables and other furniture away from windows. Install window guards on all windows above the first floor. Don't allow children to play on balconies, roofs, or near open windows.
Playgrounds: Actively supervise children at playgrounds. Make sure they use only age-appropriate equipment. Be sure playgrounds have soft-surface coverings (i.e. rubber, hardwood fiber mulch or fine sand) at least 12 inches deep, extending a minimum of six feet in all directions around the equipment.
Sports: Make sure kids wear appropriate protective gear, properly fitted when practicing and playing sports.
Motor Vehicle Safety
Car Seat Safety: Properly restrain all children ages 12 and under in a back seat on every ride. Secure infants in rear-facing car seats as long as possible, and at least until they are 12 months old and weigh 20 pounds. Secure children who weigh between 20 and 40 pounds in forward-facing car seats. Secure children over 40 pounds in belt-positioning booster seats until an adult seat belt fits properly (at least 4' 9" tall and 80 to 100 pounds, for most children that's between ages 8 and 12).
Driveway/Garage Safety: Walk all the way around a parked vehicle to check for children before entering a car and starting the motor. Toys should not be kept near parked cars as they can lure a child into a driver's blind spot.
Entrapment/Heat Stroke/Suffocation: Never leave a child unattended in a car, even if the windows are open. Always keep your car locked. Keep automobile keys out of children's reach and sight. Make sure vehicle trunks are locked at all times. Keep rear fold-down seats closed so kids won't crawl into the trunk. Have your car retrofitted with a release mechanism inside the trunk.
Wishing you and your family a safe and happy summer!

Takeover Work, Diversification Justify Press-Line Purchase
|PTM Corp. provides 600 part numbers —stamped and fourslide parts—for some 70 customers, in addition to operating a sheetmetal-fabrication shop. It specializes in fasteners, clips, brackets and similar parts, as well as small assemblies.
PTM serves as a Tier One supplier to automotive OEMs by providing a patented clip used on the assembly lines of OEMs; it also supplies stamped and fourslide parts that stay with the vehicles. Since its inception, the family-owned business has offered 300-ton capacity to the marketplace, enough to grab a decent amount of market share but often not enough capacity to grab entire programs. It specializes in fasteners, clips, brackets and similar parts, as well as small assemblies.
Missing the Boat— and Not Happy About It
"For the last 10 years we've known we needed to add capacity," says Donna Russell, company vice president and daughter of the company's founder. "We were missing out on bidding entire packages, and we hated missing packages."
For that reason, earlier this year the 37-yr.-old company leaped at the opportunity to acquire on the used market a 1996-vintage 600-ton mechanical press manufactured by Eagle Press & Equipment Co., Oldcastle, Ontario, Canada. Along with the press, rated to 60 strokes/min., came an Allen Bradley Panel Vision control, a 48-in. feed line from Dallas Industries, and a 20,000-lb.-capacity straightener and uncoiler from Mecon Industries. Press bed size is 144 by 54 in.
PTM acquired the press as-built with a transfer system on board. It immediately sold off the transfer system—for half the price it paid for the press. Instead, it will use its own proprietary transfer system, designed and built inhouse, for any high-tonnage transfer jobs that come down the pike. The system attaches to the die rather than the press, and can either stay with the die or be removed and installed on other dies.
A Four-Month Upturn
"While overall we expect our business to fall by 30 percent for 2009 compared to 2008, things are definitely looking up recently," Russell says. "Shipments have trended upward for the last four months in a row. In addition to an uptick in automotive work, in the last 60 to 90 days, we've quoted more than $1 million in work for the military sector."
Helping the firm take full advantage of its newly expanded press capacity is its continued expansion of its design and development capabilities, which help it get involved in projects with customers from their inception. The firm operates a fully functional design department staffed with six engineers to "serve as an extension of our customers' engineering departments," says director of corporate sales Steve Kuhr. "Then, as we launch new jobs into production, we've optimized the designs for manufacturability, often saving our customers a significant amount of money."
About half of the firm's book of business—for about 70 customers and 600 part numbers—comes from its press department, 40 percent from four-slide operations, and 10 percent from sheetmetal fabrication and secondary assembly including welding and riveting. For more than half of its production jobs the firm has some level of design or redesign input, and that percentage continues to grow.
"More and more customers are coming to us with a concept or early design iteration and asking us to take over those responsibilities for the project," says Kuhr. "In addition, we're reengineering a lot of projects for customers, often takeover work for projects where design drawings no longer are available. In fact, this has really been an area of significant growth for us over the last year or two."
New Line Raring to go in the New Year
PTM's new Eagle press hits the ground running in December, stamping a high-tonnage job for an automotive OEM. The part—a large bracket—is of an advanced high-strength DP590 dual-phase steel that PTM expects to occupy the press for about 12 hours per month and account for $600,000 in annual sales. Not a bad start for a new press line.
"The only challenge in launching this project, now that we have the press capacity to handle dual-phase high-strength steels," says Kuhn, "is actually getting the steel inhouse. Suppliers are running lean and lead time is long."
The press PTM acquired will help the firm grow its list of key customers from just a few to around 20, a much more comfortable level, says Russell. "We had too many customers that were taking their larger parts requiring more tonnage capacity to other stampers," she says, "and just giving us the smaller stampings and fourslide parts. Now we can take on an entire package and become a key supplier to more customers. This will help develop a more in-depth and rewarding relationship with customers, for which we hope to provide our full suite of services including design and R&D."
More: Upgraded ERP, New Laser
The firm also expects, if its foray into the military marketplace takes off as expected, to add to its inventory of laser-cutting machines. "We're thinking 4000 W this time," says Kuhn, "with a large 12- by 25-ft. bed. We recently quoted a project requiring blanks 150 in. long. We want to be prepared to handle some of the larger projects out there."
PTM, like most successful stampers these days, also is busy upgrading other areas of its operations, including investing in its ERP system to include a module called Global Financials (for its Infor ERP Visual software). The firm also runs a tool design and build house called Modified Technology. It added the Global Financials module to help consolidate and control the financial accounting information for both companies.
"This is an important tool for us in managing our growth and plans for the future," says Russell, noting that the firm plans to move all of its prototype-development work out of PTM and into Modified Technology, to create an advanced engineering center.
Which begs the question: How many stampers operate what they might refer to as an advanced engineering center? And, of the stampers that are struggling out there, how many might benefit from developing such a center of excellence in the near future? MF

Posted: Nov 12, 2012
Akash Mirchandani and the Crimson competed at the Ivy League Match Play (Oct. 20-21) (Harvard Athletic Communications).
By Kevin Rhoads, Head Coach for Men's and Women's Golf
The 2012 fall season has come to a close for the Harvard men's and women's golf teams. It was a season of change and progress.
A New Coaching Structure
During the off-season, I transitioned from Head Women's Coach to being the Head Coach for both the men's and women's teams. It is a true honor having the opportunity to coach both teams. Although it has only been a couple of months, I have enjoyed every moment with both teams. It is fun to be a part of the successes. Equally invigorating are the learning opportunities created by each challenge we face together. I look forward to our time moving forward.
Among other factors making the transition possible was the hiring of two incredible Assistant Coaches. Given the coaching structure, having exactly the right personnel in the Assistant Coaches positions was an imperative. On the women's side, a confluence of favorable events allowed Claire Sheldon, '10 to come on as Assistant Coach. Among many other positive attributes, Claire was a 3-time All Ivy performer and team captain her senior year. On the men's side we have been fortunate to welcome Daniel Joseph. Daniel is an Assistant Professional at The Country Club who has also worked at Pebble Beach, Augusta National, and Oakmont Country Club. Given their talents and opportunities, we will be happy for whatever time we have their expertise, energy, enthusiasm, and influence.
One of the most fun coaching challenges every year is figuring out what each player needs to play, practice, and think his or her best, while at the same time bringing the team together as a group to try to accomplish our goals. This year's process has been unique given the number of new players – both new to Harvard and new to me. Unsurprisingly, the individuals on both teams are a true pleasure to coach. On both the men's and women's side I see a team chemistry that is as strong as any of the teams with which I have been associated. Each team has players that are diverse in their backgrounds and experiences, and genuinely value that quality in their teammates. They also have strong affection for one another and are committed to doing what they need to do to be successful. I'm excited about our prospects both this year and in the years to come.
The Men's Team
The men's team returned five players from last year's squad, and welcomed two new players. Last year the Crimson graduated stalwarts Mark Pollak and Tony Grillo – holders of the top four season scoring averages in team history. These are big shoes to fill. A young, strong, balanced and talented team has risen to the challenge. Junior captain Theo Lederhausen has provided thoughtful, inclusive leadership in addition to his strong game. Lederhausen, fellow juniors Seiji Liu and Kevin McCarthy, and sophomore Akash Mirchandani all played in every tournament in the fall for the men. As a sign of the depth of the team and talent level, junior Michael Lai and freshmen Un Cho and Rohan Ramnath also played in multiple tournaments. The balance means that teammates will push each other to keep working.
Competitively, the men had good stretches in every tournament that they played. In their first tournament, The McLaughlin hosted by St. John's, Harvard displayed a level indicative of how good they can be. They were tied for second in the 16-team field through the first round and even midway through the second round of the 36-hole first day. Some external challenges with waning daylight proved distracting through the second round, and they lost some ground to eventually finish 11th overall. During a weekend when the team was not quite at the top of their game, they finished 5th out of 11 teams at the MacDonald Cup hosted by Yale. It was a tournament that indicated progress at being able to score well no matter how well they are playing.
Individually . . . Liu had an impressive T-2nd finish at Yale shooting one-under for two rounds. Lederhausen T-26 at the McLaughlin, and Mirchandani T-32 at the Windon – both impressively strong fields. And at the Ivy Match Play we saw great focus at clutch times. Notably, Ramnath, after sitting out the first three events with an injured back, showed great promise going undefeated in three matches.
The Women's Team
The ladies picked up where they left off last year – and improved upon it. They faced two big challenges of the fall: a new dynamic where they shared their head coach with another team while assimilating a new assistant coach, and a team that only included 5 players. Instead of allowing external factors to prove detrimental, they embraced the challenges and turned them into strengths.
The women's team chose to look at the coaching change in a very positive light; they weren't losing their head coach but were gaining a great assistant coach. Then, the team size was reduced from an expected 8 players to only 5 players due to injuries, school demands, and changing priorities for upperclassmen. Given that most tournaments allow 5 players to represent their school, having only 5 players puts the present squad in a potentially precarious position. Again taking the mature approach and focusing on the positive, the team embraced the challenge.
The three upperclassmen include reigning Ivy Champion junior captain Bonnie Hu, and standout sophomores Tiffany Lim and Brenna Nelsen. This is as good a group of players and leaders as the team has seen. Thus, the two freshmen, Courtney Hooton and Christine Lin, have received a crash course in Harvard Women's Golf culture, and have become part of the closest team that I have coached at Harvard.
The team is also the strongest yet for the Harvard women's program. The fall results were as follows: 3rd at Yale, 2nd at Penn State, and T14 out of 17 at Stanford. Given that this team is accustomed to winning multiple events in both the fall and spring seasons, not winning a tournament could appear to be a poor showing. A closer look, however, shows the impressive level of the team's play. The two teams that beat Harvard at Yale were Nova Southeastern – current #1 team in the country for Division II, and Penn State, currently ranked #28 in the country for Division I. At Penn State, only Penn State beat Harvard. And at Stanford, Harvard tied with #40 University of Oregon, and beat #35 Texas and #45 Cal Berkeley in a field that contained 5 of the top 10-ranked teams and 8 of the top 20 teams in the country.
The Crimson finished the fall season ranked #46 in the country – its highest ranking in program history. They are ranked #12 in the East Region, also their highest ranking ever. Everyone on the team averaged below 76, and 4 of the 5 players averaged below 75. Their average drop score was 78.05 – the 15th lowest in the country. The team scoring average of 296 is more than 8 shots lower than their previous best team scoring average. Individually, Tiffany Lim had two top-8 finishes, Bonnie, Brenna and Christine finished as high as 11th at Yale and Penn State respectively, and Courtney finished 15th at Penn State. Most importantly, they just were solid in every tournament.
Looking Forward
So the fall season was one of progress for both teams. Each team was able to assimilate new personnel and new cultural and performance elements. I'm looking forward to seeing what we can accomplish in the spring. Our fall and spring golf seasons allow for an extended "half-time" to reflect on the fall, make strategic tweaks and work hard to prepare for the spring. We intend to take advantage of this opportunity.
Thank You!
I would like to thank all of the Friends of Harvard Golf for their continued support that makes our pursuit of excellence possible. A note of thanks also goes out to parents of team members. Many of you were able to make it to tournaments this fall and we always love to see friendly faces on the road. We appreciate you taking the time, spending the money, and making the effort to come.

Hopefully you all saw the announcement that Fred Schernecker's tireless efforts to advance the program have been validated by an unprecedented act of generosity on the part of Paul M. Weissman, '52. Mr. Weissman along with his wife, Harriet, endowed the Director of Golf Position.
Best wishes for Happy Holidays and see you in the spring!

Morenci Garden Club members kept the downtown looking good all summer with the hanging baskets of flowers plus the large sidewalk containers that featured a variety of plants.
The hanging baskets are gone for the year, but the sidewalk pots have several weeks remaining, thanks to a donation by Pearl Phelps. Pearl bought a pot of mums for each container at the Garden Club's recent mum sale. Club members planted them and the downtown now has a new look for the fall.
The appearance will get even better as area organizations and businesses adopt a light pole for the Morenci Area Chamber of Commerce's annual light pole decorating contest.

Learn How To Do Home Improvement Like A Pro
If you've ever heard the old adage "measure twice and cut once," then you're well on your way to learning the correct way of making home improvements. That isn't all there is to know, however. So find out what you don't know in the article below. Flooring tips and advice from tiles dorchester and carpets dorchester. Experts in all kinds of flooring in and around the dorset area such as Tiles Bridport and tiles poole to name but a few
Wires and cords can be a safety hazard and unsightly. When doing home improvements, consider adding your home surround sound and networking wires into your attic. If everything is ready to go and wired for these amenities, you will be able to use this as a selling point for your home later.
If you are working on a new home improvement project, make sure that you are complimenting your environment rather than fighting against it. If you are in an area that has high winds, then you most likely will not be spending much time outside. As such, it probably would be in your best interest to work on indoor arrangements. By the same token, you can still enjoy the outdoors, by simply adding a glass structure. This can help block out the environment while still providing you with an outdoors atmosphere.
Apply striping to the walls prior to doing a paneling installation. The old wall tends to show no matter what you do when installing paneling. To start, simply measure where the panels meet. At every place where panels are going to join, put a little paint on the wall in a color that will closely match the paneling.
Adding another bathroom to your house could greatly increase its value. Consider the usefulness and convenience that a second bath adds to the living situation in the home. It is common for more than one person to need in the bathroom at one time.
When planning for landscaping upgrades, consider native plants in your yard plan. They're generally more hardy and require less water than non-natives. Your plant choices will vary depending on your area, but your county agricultural extension will be able to help you with planning. Also check to see if a local university has a program to help homeowners with native landscaping.
The number one tip is to have a plan in place before hand. Without a well thought out plan of action you are more likely to make poor choices and end up with a disaster. If you plan in advance, you will have a much easier time completing the project.
Consult a professional for larger jobs. Even if you think you know what you are doing, you can benefit from a professional's experience in the field. A professional has done the job more often than you have and can help you find supplies, get the job done quicker and troubleshoot any problems.
Millions of homeowners decide every day to make some type of improvement to their homes, and many of them end up with poor results. Pay attention to the tips provided to you in this article so that you're always making the best possible home improvement decisions when it's time to spruce up your house.

It has been four long months since security forces snatched Irina Khalip, at left, from Minsk's Independence Square while she was reporting on a protest of the flawed December 19 Belarusian presidential vote.
While Khalip was giving a live account from the square to the Russian radio station Ekho Moskvy, riot police beat her and forcibly drove her away. (Her husband, opposition presidential candidate Andrei Sannikov, was repeatedly struck with clubs and also arrested. He remains imprisoned today.) Khalip was one of at least 20 journalists detained that night, but her treatment has been especially harsh.
A prominent Belarusian journalist, Khalip had worked as the Minsk-based correspondent for the independent Moscow-based newspaper Novaya Gazeta for the past five years, regularly reporting on the activities of the notorious Belarusian security service, the KGB. It was the KGB who held her for more than a month.
In that time, Irina was kept incommunicado, in isolation. Meanwhile, authorities pressured her parents to stop talking to the press about their daughter, conducted sudden searches of their home, and tried to place the journalist's 3-year-old son with Sannikov, Daniil, in foster care.
Due to mounting international outcry, the government abandoned its attempts to take Daniil away from his grandparents and placed Irina under house arrest in late January. But being under house arrest in Belarus is a surreal ordeal.
Two KGB agents are stationed in Irina's home around the clock, monitoring her every move. She is not allowed to make or receive phone calls, answer the door, have visitors other than her parents, or write letters, Khalip's mother, Lyutsina Yuryevna Khalip, told Novaya Gazeta. In a moving piece from March 31, the paper presented a snippet of Khalip's life as retold by her mother. It seems the hardest of her daily challenges is having to explain her new, bizarre reality to Daniil.
Danka [a diminutive for Daniil] has a reel of questions. "Why mama never goes outside?" he asks. "I'm not feeling well," she says. "Why doesn't she answer the phone?" "I'm busy," she says. "Why doesn't grandma come upstairs?" And, finally, why doesn't papa ever come back from his business trip? "Call the doctor, mama, maybe he will let you go outside for a walk," Danka is asking. "Call the train driver, tell him to drive papa home faster!"
Belarus is the only country in the former Soviet bloc where the national security service still carries its old name, the KGB. That one choice exemplifies the policies of the Belarusian government, which is stubbornly determined to remain in the past, intimidate any independent voice into silence, and punish those who refuse to play by the rules.
Khalip refused to play by the rules. Living as if Belarus were a democratic country, she made her own rules. Despite harassment, surveillance, and threats, she covered official wrongdoing, investigated corruption in the high echelons, and published searing exposes that made the KGB cringe. She didn't relent even after receiving death threats. She chose to remain in Belarus in spite of it all.
I cannot call her now and ask her why she did it when she knew the risks. But if she could, I'm sure she'd say she did it because she believed she could make a difference. Because she refused to live in a prison built of fear. Because she wanted her Daniil to grow up in a country where independent-minded citizens are able to pursue truth, ask tough questions, and express their views without fear of reprisal.
In the signature secretive manner of repressive regimes, Belarus has quietly prolonged Khalip's house arrest until May 13. Initially charged with "organizing mass unrest"--a criminal count that carries up to 15 years in prison--Irina's indictment was downgraded in early April to "organizing and preparing activities severely disruptive of public order." She now faces up to three years behind bars if convicted. Her trial will begin on May 11 at the Zavodsky district court in Minsk.

I used papers from Graphic 45's Domestic Goddess line, interspersed with some Prima blossoms, added a touch of lace, some bling and a velvet leaf. The little wooden blocks can be rotated to show the day, date and month. Cute, huh?
Happy New Year everyone! And may 2010 bring you good health and happiness!

Strolling over from their own track just a block away, the girls of Germantown Friends opened their dual meet season with a non-league contest against the Quakers of Penn Charter. Garnering most of its points from first-place finishes in a dozen events, PC outpointed the visiting Tigers, 76-49.
It was the second head-to-head engagement for Charter, which won a very early Girls Inter-Ac League opener against Springside back on St. Patrick's Day. GFS was making its dual meet debut but was focused on other things, such as a large invitational meet at Neshaminy High School on Saturday and its Friends Schools League opener a few days after that.
"This was an opportunity to try some things out," said Tigers coach Rob Hewitt. "We wanted to have our relays ready for the Lady Skins (the Neshaminy event) and for our meet on Tuesday with George School. They're the defending champions in our league, and I think we'll also have to watch out for Friends Central and Westtown."
Back at the meet against Springside, Penn Charter mentor Liz Fleming made note of the multi-event scoring capabilities of two seniors bound for the University of Pennsylvania, Amma Ntoso and Colleen Fehm. Last Thursday Ntoso won all four of the events she entered, the long jump, the triple jump, and the 100 and 300 hurdles. Fehm focused on vertical distance as she captured first place in the high jump and the pole vault.
Sophomore Catie Skinner, the 2010 Pa. Independent Schools cross country champion, won the 1600 meters for the Quakers and came in second behind her senior teammate, Elyse Wilkinson.
GFS received a strong showing in the sprints from junior Morgan Ramsey, who won the 100 meter dash and was runner-up in the 200. In the longer footraces, sophomore Eliza Lukens-Day delivered second-place points for the visitors in the 1600, and placed third in the 800.
Other than that, the Tigers' points came from a wide variety of performers. PC swept the shot put thanks to junior Saagarika Thanvi, sophomore Ashley Brown, and senior Heather Jones, but Germantown scored in every other event.
In the mile relay at the end of the afternoon, GFS cruised after Tess junior Doggett opened up an imposing lead on the opening leg. Fellow 11th grader Carey Celata and seniors Sarah Bergman and Brooke Palus brought it home for the Tigers.

Then I decided to ask if they'd like to give one to you! And they said - Um sure!!!
So Friday morning the van pulled up to the house and out came a really awesome vase of Fruit Flowers! Pineapple daisies, melon leaves and chocolate covered strawberries - my personal favorite.
When they asked me to review - they told me to be honest - and that's great - cuz I don't usually mince words. And I'll tell you - this fruit was delicious! I mean - obviously - it's pretty - but then my big question was - will the fruit be fresh/sweet? Yup - it was all great! I think my favorite little find was that instead of some block of styrofoam - they actually use a head of lettuce as the base!
The service was great as well - Denita is the manager of the Cincinnati location (on Fields Ertl) and she was really helpful and when I had to change the delivery location at the last minute it was no problem!
I really did love all the fruit - I have to say - I just don't usually eat much fruit. I just don't want to go to the work of cutting it up (I know - such a lame excuse!) - but this was great - so much better than a fruit basket with a pile of fruit. FruitFlowers.com does all the work for you and then they arrange it so its even more enticing to eat. I have definitely never eaten fruit for breakfast two days in a row!
My husband now knows - if he ever wants to surprise me with a treat - FruitFlowers.com is the way to go! As long as those chocolate-covered strawberries are included! Man - those were great and it was nice to have a little bit of chocolate thrown in with the uber-healthy fruit!
Just saw this on the site too - if fruit isn't your thing - get a Veggie Basket!
Denita is providing a Dazzling Tulips and Daisies Dipped basket for one of you! And the giveaway will be finished in time for you to send it as a Christmas gift or for your own holiday table! I can't wait to find out what the winner thinks of this one!
Because the Cincinnati store is donating the prize - this is limited to folks in the Cincinnati/NKY area.

Created by internet entrepreneur Les Troglodistes, an Anglo-Cyprian businessman who made his fortune from a string of traditional delicatessen stores in his native home (London), Del.icio.us (pronounced "del-ik-e-o-us") is the world's only international online deli, delivering fresh quiche, and humus direct to homes around the globe.
Humble Beginnings[edit]
From a one-room store in Dick Van Dyke Street, in the heart of London's Docklands, Les Troglodistes, the youngest son of a Cyprian sailor created the beginnings of his business empire. For a thripence, swarfy seafarers could purchase the lastest delicacies to be offloaded from the multitude of ships berthing in the Thames. Formed in 1953, within ten years "The Happy Trog" (as it was then known) had branches throughout the UK, and in the late 1960s had expanded into mainland Europe.
By the close of the 1970s the franchise was a worldwide success, but all this would be shown to be small fish. With the creation of the internet, Troglodistes in a stroke of marketing genius rebranded the company and linked his entire opperation into the growth of online markets. And thus was born Del.icio.us - Deli Delivery.
Virtual Counter[edit]
The Del.icio.us Virtual Counter offers customers a wide range of high quality, local produce - including cheeses, salads, cooked meats, take-away bites, breads, and delicious desserts such as biscuits, cakes, chocolate cake, strawberry cake, banana cake, and other puddings.
Browsers of the site are able to take a guided tour of the Del.icio.us Virtual Counter at a single click, where they can view thumbnails demonstrating the variety and quality of the sites range.
Les Troglodistes deliver the food by means of sling and catapult. Although this means you lose around 90% of the product you pay for, it is very efficient and you will be eating in no time; (and so will the people on the street where the 90% of food landed).

Previn's "Streetcar" is a rare hit among contemporary operas.
The opera (which uses a scrupulously faithful libretto by Philip Littell) has superbly crafted, full-blooded set pieces. There are luscious arias for Blanche, confrontations both savage and meltingly tender, and moody orchestral interludes evoking smoldering lusts. But just as important, Previn displays a confidence in the power of pure lyricism to carry raw emotion that has not been apparent in opera since Britten's day.
...It is certainly Previn's finest work and that [should] tempt you to ride this STREETCAR.
When Previn came out to bow ... he and Fleming seemed shy about sharing the enthusiastic applause. Yet they, and director Colin Graham and this stylish cast, had put onstage a work that will have to be considered in any appraisal of opera's grand march to the millennium.
There is an appropriate musical gravity, with a bluesy feel and a nervous undertone that serves the story well. Occasionally, the score recalls the onetime modernism of Stravinsky.
Fleming is nothing short of magnificent as Blanche - golden-age singing combined with dramatic gifts that the old-time singers never even tried for.
...it is skillful music, intelligent, responsive, sensitive, and atmospheric you can hear the heat rising from the pavement.
Where Previn's musicianship shows most clearly is in his writing for voices every word of the text was audible.
A Streetcar Named Desire, born at the end of the century, will remain one of the absolute masterpieces of the last fifty years.
The Pulitzer Prize-winning drama has been transformed by a splendid libretto by Phillip Littell....
"Streetcar" makes for wonderful lyric theater and can grip audiences with the added depth only music can provide.
What makes this Streetcar so worthwhile is the music.... The score ranges from angry dissonance to romantic lyricism. Streetcar is rich with color, by turns lush, frantic, heartbreaking, even funny.... Though the score has no outright jazz, there are moments of real jazziness: this is, after all, New Orleans. The clunky moments -- notably, when the nurse and doctor take Blanche away -- are offset by some fine ones. Though 20th century operas tend to be short on arias, Streetcar includes two showstoppers for Blanche.
The big question, of course, is whether a work as exquisitely, even as preciously wrought as Tennessee Williams's play needed, wanted or could be helped by the addition of music, beyond the mood music that the playwright himself asked for in his stage directions. In the orchestra, Previn maintains a respectful reticence behind the voices. At the same time the worrisome, ominous emotions it expresses convey a great deal of the violent, unspoken subtext. The score sounds genuinely contemporary...the play of instrumental colors is exciting; the overlay of blues and the pop idioms creates an overall sound of urban America. Theater-trained, dramatically astute composers [are] careful to shape the overall dynamics of their scores so that one feels and suffers the increasing entrapment of a genuinely tragic plot. Previn's vocalizing of pain is superb...in each instance, the sung music remains lucid, appropriate, even passionate.
A Streetcar Named Desire is the best new opera I have seen and heard since Britten's Death in Venice 25 years ago. In its remarkable faithfulness to the emotional tensions of the original, its richly textured, all-American score and its dedication to singable, intelligible vocal lines that are at once contemporary, pleasing to the ear and keenly in character, it marks a uniquely successful venture in the broad field of popular American music drama.
Two arias in Act III are showpieces that place Blanche squarely on the fringes of sanity. The first, "I want magic," already has been extracted as a concert aria, but it is the second aria, "I can smell the sea air," that exudes time-stopping rapture, recalling the farewell-to-life transcendence pervading Strauss' "Four Last Songs."
Previn leads the San Francisco Opera in what sounds like a definitive performance of his first, impressive plunge into the operatic art. May there be more.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – After staying in-state for each of their first three meets of the 2011 campaign, Lipscomb's cross country teams will be spread over the country this weekend; Bison and Lady Bison athletes will compete in three different meets in three different parts of the country, all on Saturday, Sept. 24.
The top Lady Bison runners will be at the Stanford Invitational in Palo Alto, Calif., scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. (CT), while the top men's athletes go to Spokane, Wash., for the Erik Andersen Invitational, beginning at 12:45 p.m. (CT). The remainder of the squad will be in Chattanooga for the Chattanooga Cross Country Festival, with the women's race scheduled for 1 p.m. (CT).
The Lady Bisons showed well last week in the Vanderbilt Commodore Invitational, their first meet without the injured Dani Walker. Lipscomb finished second overall as a team behind Alabama. Sophomore Tessa Hoefle and senior Ashley Lehman finished second and third, respectively, for the Lady Bisons.
A handful of freshmen runners have been imperative to the Lady Bisons in the first races of the season; Minna Fields, Maggie Lawrence and Kendra Lobley have each put up strong times for Lipscomb in 2011.
The men's side was a respectable sixth last weekend on the Vaughn's Gap course (in the second of three meets on Lipscomb's home trail this season), led by junior Isaiah Greer's 18th-place finish. Coach Bill Taylor has challenged his men's squad this week to stick closer to Greer in order to put up stronger times.
Taylor hopes that juniors Ashton Fisher and Geoff Musick will close the gap between themselves and Greer this weekend. Freshman Ryan Gadsey has improved each week and is poised to become a strong member of the Bison runners this season.
The squads are expected to face tremendous competition at every stop this weekend. For the women's team, host Stanford poses a formidable opponent at sixth in the nation; other squads expected to be in Palo Alto are regionally-ranked Cal, San Francisco, Cal Poly, UC Davis, UCLA, Utah and Loyola Marymount, as well as Lipcomb's sister school of Pepperdine.
In Spokane, the men are slated to see a contingent of teams from west of the Rocky Mountains, including Gonzaga, Montana State (13th in the Mountain Region) and Washington State (sixth in the West).
The Chattanooga race will have a much smaller field; small-school powers such as Oglethorpe and Maryville headline the field at Chickamauga Dam.
Next weekend, the squads will reconvene for the Louisville Classic at Tom Sawyer State Park. The meet is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m.

I've tried to burn ScummVM v1.4.1 to a DVD with some games, but it just froze at the helix loading screen (the one with the rotating 0es and 1s).
At the first try I put all the files provided with the package from the official downloads.php page) and a folder for each game, with their short names (examples: FT, ATLANTIS, SWORD1) into an ISO (created with Nero Burning ROM), but forgot to create a SYSTEM.CNF file, silly me.
At the second one, same as the first but now with the SYSTEM.CNF, and made with UltraISO (with the option to "create a PS2 DVD"), it just froze, tested in two different slim consoles.
This is the SYSTEM.CNF file I've created:
Notice that I'm trying to boot the version without HDD and adapter support.
Code: Select all
BOOT2 = cdrom0:\SCUMMVM.ELF;1
Then, not wanting to waste anymore discs, I installed PCSX2 to test each new try.
Here goes the things I've already tried while using PCSX2:
• To put an SCUMMVM.INI file inside the image;
• To make the CNF boot the "SCUMMVM-N.ELF" version instead of the normal one;
• To delete the three IRXs needed for remote play;
• To put all the game folders under the "games" directory;
• To run only the ELFs through the emulator, without making an image, but then the helix rotated infinitely.
No success with any possible solution I thought about, even after searching about it.
Another important fact is that once I had a working ScummVM DVD, but it got scratched and stopped working, but I don't know which version was that. This assures that the consoles aren't the problem here.
I've got the Windows, the PSP and the Android versions to work correctly (altough having some minor problems with PSP version's sound).
And I would like to thank you guys for your work in this wonderful program and its ports.

An Evolving Resource on GY6 50-150cc Scooters
Call me Bashan, that's my handle on all the forums. I got into scooters last fall when my wife decided we should have a couple and two showed up in crates from the internet. After hating them while struggling to assemble them, I grew to love them. We now both thoroughly enjoy our weekend rides and I've come to enjoy working on them.
Chinese scooters are enigmatic, no doubt about it. They seem to be relatively basic in design, yet reveal layer upon layer of functional nuance that can present the most experienced owner with fascinating diagnostic and repair challenges. Sometimes these can only be accomplished through assistance from other owners who are more than willing to offer their expertise.
This has led to a fascinating world of online scooter enthusiasts that haunt cyberspace on the various forums. I consider many of these characters my friends even though I would not recognize them in person; I hope they don't look like their avatars. These mavens possess an astounding body of knowledge that is scattered among countless individuals and sources. This website is a humble attempt to bring that vast information base together in

Mahindra's Constant PTO HP Bales Me OutWednesday, August 30th, 2006
Wet has been the word for us the past few days. Couldn't buy the rain when we needed it for the second cutting of hay. Now that it is too late to do much good, we get downpours. Only 2 dry days this week. One of them I spent moving dirt for my neighbor. He's a retired union machinist that was born and raised here before going to Ohio for work. He's truly a wealth of knowledge about my descendants. We had been working on the second poultry barn when he came by to visit. He told us a good story about my great Uncle Norman (Pete as we called him). Seems he decided to go into the chicken business. Between him and my Grandpa Virgil, they amassed about 2,000 fryers. It was winter and the only heat in the poultry houses was wood stoves. It got really cold one night, and even with the stoves going full blast the chickens piled on each other in a corner to stay warm. Naturally, several of them suffocated. Pete hired boys in the neighborhood to help him dress all of those birds. Since he was single and knew he wouldn't need all those birds – he and the boys went door to door giving them away.
I have had several calls this week wanting to know about buying hay. I've just had to tell them we'll see how much there is. To get the most of what little is there, we've decided to square bale everything this cutting. That means lots of work and time.
I sure hope my old IH 46 baler holds up. Old square balers can be trouble. I was ready to junk this one until I bought the Mahindra 6000 4WD. Before, I ran it with a MF 135 and it mistied a lot of bales. With the Mahindra it has done great. I attribute it to the constant pto hp. I believe the 135 was not supplying enough hp constantly and causing the misties. We are looking at buying a new square baler this year.
Most likely a MF 1835 or 1837. I like the inline design.
Didn't get a chance this week to go to the local Mahindra dealer like I wanted. I am afraid I will keep putting off trading tractors until I let the good interest rates get away. My thinking was I'd wait until after the season was over and maybe get a better deal. I've always been told you can buy cheaper in the winter.
The children are ready to place their order for some new laying chickens. Eggs seem to be the only thing on the place that consistently makes money. About 8 years ago we were introduced to the Red Star/Golden Comet sex link chicken and they have really performed well. They start laying at only 22 weeks and don't stop, on half the feed we were feeding other brown egg laying chickens. Mattie and Garett say we need ducks, guineas, and pheasants this time too!
The 2 little baby goats the kids adopted are growing and doing fine. We have put them in a dog kennel in the high grass at the edge of the fence during the days. During one of the downpours this week, Mattie came running to tell me her goats were getting wet. Needless to say I got suckered into going out in the rain to put them back in the barn. In exchange she would help me make peach preserves. I'll give her credit — although she's not much help at 5, she hung in there and watched the whole process.
Well, lots to do! Have fun and be safe! Until next time…..

First notice day for September grain futures brought a softer corn market and slightly higher soybean market while wheat was lower for September and slightly higher in December. December corn finished just off its low, down 7¾ at $7.67½. November soybeans were a half cent higher, finishing at $14.57½. September Chicago wheat finished 5 cents lower, at $7.45¼.
Much of today's trade was focused on the higher than expected deliveries for wheat and soy oil. Also released today was another private estimate ahead of September's USDA report. A private group estimated that the corn yield is 149.1 and the soybean yield is 41. We will continue to hear estimates ahead of this report; however, at the forefront of the market is the current weather pattern as soybeans are reaching a critical point in their maturation process. Overnight rains were solid for the northern part of the Corn Belt and were disappointing for the central to southern sections that have had a tough time getting rains all season. Without the needed rains in these growing areas, soybeans should be supported at these levels.
We continue to hear discussions about the final yields, and today's private estimate was no different. This week's crop progress lowered the corn rating by 3% and the bean rating by 2%. Until we get more definitive information from the upcoming harvest, the market could remain supported on production fears. If corn yields are lowered from current guesses, obviously we can still see this market take out the highs. By the same token, in a year with this much variability the market will be very anxious (volatile) if yields start coming back better than expected. We also need to be careful about observing the demand issues that high corn is presenting to the cattle industry. Weekly export sales will be released tomorrow morning (estimates are below) and the market will be watching to see if export business has been scaled back as a result of these high prices.
What does this all mean to the producer? We recommend being cautious with marginal positions and look to move short positions over to cash sales if possible to make sure we have sustainability. We can also look at a wide range collar spread (selling a call and buying a put), which will allow for more upside potential if needed. For those reluctant to sell due to production uncertainty, we like December $7 corn puts, which are a relatively inexpensive way to get protection on for harvest.

Trish McEvoy: Chic and Sheer Collection
The two eyeshadows are French Vanilla (Deluxe size £18) which is a slightly warm toned vanilla and Soft Grey (£12) true medium grey.
Both of the shadows have a matte formula. The texture is really smooth, applies evenly with good pigment and blends with ease.
The collection also includes the Brush 62 Fan (£28), its flat, with an arched shape.
It feels lightweight and gently against the skin. I think this brush is genius, it applies a light dusting of product, never over done, its also great for precision cheekbone highlighting and for applying a whisper of powder to set my under eye concealer.
For size comparison here is the brush against the medium compact
The Bronzer in Golden (£22) is limited edition. Its very smooth, has good pigment and applies really well.
As I am very pale there are very few bronzers I can wear so I was surprised this worked for me. I think application with the fan brush helped as it applies a sheer veil of colour. The shade is a medium gently shimmered bronze with a golden glow. It doesn't go on with any red or orange tones like a lot of bronzers do. It works to give definition and a healthy natural glow, I also really like it applied to the eyes in the crease.
Swatches below: French Vanilla, Soft Grey, Golden Bronzer, Golden Bronzer blended in.
The light wasn't so good today so I'll try and get some eye look pictures up for you soon.
The collection also includes a SPF 15 lipstick in shade Mulberry, a Beauty Booster SPF 15 Lip Gloss and a Beauty Booster SPF 15 Lip Balm. I really want to get the Mulberry lipstick, its not currently on the Selfridges website to buy separately so I'll keep my eye out for it, of course while perusing the website I had to console myself and buy a few other Trish McEvoy goodies instead so I'll be showing you those soon.
Trish McEvoy are available online from selfridges.com
Disclosure: I was sent these items for free.

Hope you can get your hands on the lipstick! The bronzer sounds really nice, it looks quite dark, but it's great that it works well on lighter skin.ReplyDelete
I love that everything is more natural & polished. :)
Is the brush thick or thin? I am looking for a fan brush but I haven't really seen anything that caught my eyesReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing this collection:)
You have reminded me that I never got any further with my Trish McEvoy mission. I think the Mulberry lipstick sounds really interesting. I like the look of that fan brush too xReplyDelete
Love the fan brush and the bronzer!ReplyDelete

I have never considered TMcE products - there is something a bit "executive woman" about them for me, and I feel I am far too prone to come out of the Ladies with my skirt tucked into my knickers to be part of that club. However I do like the colours in the eyeshadow palette very much. Thanks for this. xReplyDelete
Hi Vintage Makeup,ReplyDelete
I'll be stalking the webiste to see if the lipstick comes up :) Yes the bronzer is quite dark in the pan, I think the fan brush does the magic in making it wearable for me :)
Hi Katherine,
Its thin, bit less than 1cm in thickness. A lot of the fan brushes I see are really big, this has a more consise brush and I think thats why it works for a variety of things :)
Hi Jane,
It has made me want to try more of their brushes, I was eyeing up the £180 kit, although might have to save for that one! The more I looked at the site the more I want, I really wish selfridges had better postage costs! xx
Hi Sherry,
They are lovely, I am so pleased I got to try them :)
Hi Jan,
LOL, well thats a visual ;)
I think there is quite a lot from the line you'd like, they have a nice little eye palette called beauty emergency card which has lots of neutrals in it x

Angkorăng´kôr [key], site of several capitals of the Khmer Empire, north of Tônlé Sap, NW Cambodia, for about five and a half centuries (9th to 15th), the heart of the empire. Extending over an area of 120 sq mi (323 sq km), the ruins contain some of the most imposing monuments in the world, including about a thousand temples, mainly Hindu and some Buddhist; ancient Greater Angkor, however, had an extent perhaps nearly 10 times that size (according to satellite photographs published in 2007), and was home to perhaps 750,000 people. The earliest temples were constructed of brick, the later of stone, and many are covered with elaborate sculptures. The Angkor site also contains palaces and other buildings associated with the Khmer state. The first capital of the empire was founded by Yasovarman I (r. 889–900) and was centered around the pyramidal temple of Phnom Bak Kheng.

Man's eternal quest for faster and ever-more efficient ways to shoot blood into his penis has taken a step into the 21st century. We're now using nanotechnology to churn out our boners, thanks to an Egyptian-made transdermal patch.
When you take Sildenafil citrate (Viagra) orally, up to 70 per cent of the drug is stolen away by your liver, presumably for tiny awesome liver boners. Wholly unacceptable. Researchers at Egypt's Alexandria University tackled the problem with a nanodelivery system similar to the way cancer treatment drugs are delivered. Because that's what not having an erection is: a terrible condition we must stave off at any cost. The patch uses a "self-emulsifying" nanocarrier to bond it to lipids and allow it to cross membranes.
The research looks good, but we're not sure when you'll be able to pick up a boner patch at your local pharmacy. Whenever it does arrive, though, remember this: Faster effect and fewer side effects are good things in any medication, but god help the poor unfortunate idiot who slaps a dozen on his arm mistakenly looking for a nicotine fix.

Hi all,
After about a year away from Marathon, I felt the creative impulse to design another level! Some of you might have downloaded a set of seven levels I uploaded a while back, and at the time I decided to hang up my Marathon hat--played Phoenix some, and knowing I didn't have the patience nor talent to match that quality of level making, I retired. Well, you can't keep a Marathon'er away for long!
I would merge this level with the others I had created, but I don't want to force the eight or so of you who actually played the short scenario to go through it again just to play one new level. So I'm going to upload this as a single level, even though its part of a greater scenario.
This mess of overlapping multi-level floors started as an idea I had to see if I could make a "boss level" in Marathon. It kind of works. Not a whole lot of aliens, but the ones you do meet are brutal. I've had to balance the hell out of this to make sure it is actually beatable (lowered the damage of some alien shots, for instance, and remove a few baddies)
There are probably some small errors. The only real Aleph advantages I used were the increased transparent lines and distance limits, and even those are hardly over the maximum. You could probably even play this in Infinity, but might get buggy in a few spots.
Enjoy, and let me know what you all think!
note: the Pfhorums doesn't seem to let me upload a file without zipping it first, I have no idea if I did it right, please let me know if it didn't work.

Rated 5 out of 5 by P&CMerlot from Great Warranty My wife and I have used All-Clad pots for over thirty years. We started with LTD and have since changed our cooktop to induction, so now use D5. The one 8 fry pan we use frequently showed some wear and tear more than usual. Contacted All-Clad and they agreed it was a bit more than usual and promptly replaced it.Date published: 2019-12-06Rated 5 out of 5 by chuck from excellent finish have used several times, very pleased with resultsDate published: 2019-03-12Rated 3 out of 5 by Peaches1 from Nice pan, but disappointed in staining I bought the All-Clad TK stainless steel nonstick frying pans in 2 sizes in October 2017. They were the most expensive pans in the store but the salesperson assured me they'd be the last pans I would buy. The pans work well enough, but the bottoms are very stained after only 8 months of use. I tried the special Wenol stainless steel cleaner that the Williams-Sonoma salesperson recommended—it doesn't work. I have also tried Barkeeper's Secret—it works a little better, but it will take days of scrubbing and many ruined manicures to clean these pans. I wish I had known this before buying them. If it bothers you (see photos), you should invest in something different. I have a Wolf gas stove, btw.Date published: 2018-07-07Rated 5 out of 5 by Brigadier from Slippery I love these pans. Heat retention is superb and the nonstick interior is so slick. I use ½ tsp. of oil with a shave of butter & my omelets are "slip sliding away." I wouldn't dare flip my omelets. Also, the slick interior makes them easy to clean. Oh, and the handles, ohhhhh the handles! These are the most comfortable handle in the All-Clad line for my huge hands. The only downside is the lid; when I need a tight fitting lid I can't use the universal lid made for the pan and All-Clad has no recommendation to the lids that would fit them.Date published: 2018-01-30Rated 1 out of 5 by KevinSchott from Wait on this, hopefully NS1 returns All Clad name. It's a beautiful pan, but All Clad needs to step up their non-stick game. I had to send the pan back twice to All Clad after the non-stick surface wore down, (all in the same year, and I baby the pan). I'm hoping NS1 is a significant improvement.Date published: 2015-10-08Rated 5 out of 5 by CherylF from TKM d5 Stainless nonstick Fry Pan Used it as soon as I got it. It worked perfectly. I was looking for a good non stick 8 inch fry pan and I have found it. I am extremely happy with my purchase.Date published: 2015-07-01

A supplier who has been helping teachers like you for nearly 20 years.
Generally, the terms are a 10% discount, $8.00 flat-rate shipping (USA only), and 30 days to collect money from your students. (The first teacher order is always pre-paid.) You only have to order at least 6 of one or more items and have a minimum item total of $60 to qualify for the 10 percent discount and $8 shipping.

* You get all your supplies from one source, delivered to your door. (We can often special order art supplies not listed in our catalog.) It saves you and your students valuable time.
* Your students will appreciate not having to drive around endlessly to find the materials. Learning a new craft is fun, but driving around town searching for materials – which they may not even find – is not.
* Your students will be using identical materials and they each have all the supplies they need for the first class. Your teaching job is simplified.
* You have only to order 6 of any item, with a minimum total of $60 to qualify for the 10% discount and $8 shipping.

* How can I order from John Neal, Bookseller for my class?
1. You can order a generous supply and return any unneeded items. There is no restocking fee.
2. You can call us after your first class and we can rush your shipment out.

* I don't want to tie up my money in supplies for students.
* I won't receive payment for the supplies until the first class.
1. Many of our teachers put their class orders on a charge card. We won't charge your order until it ships.

* Do you accept purchase orders from institutions?
Yes. We prefer a copy of the Purchase Order either faxed or mailed. But we can accept the Purchase Order number over the phone.
* I can sometimes find materials at a lower price than you offer. Can you meet other suppliers' prices?
Please give us a chance to match any prices that you are getting from other web, mail order, or local stores. We may be able to offer the same price and save you the time and expense of driving to several stores and/or special ordering. Please let us know the price and who is offering it. You'll get a prompt reply. When practical, we want to supply all your class needs.
* I'm teaching at a craft store. Do you offer discounts to stores?
While we are not a wholesaler, we may be able to offer the store the items you want your students to use at an acceptable price. Have the store contact us.
