Shimano Twin Power XD C3000HG spinning reel review - not remotely cheap!
Further to this blog post here from a while back, I manfully lasted precisely three whole days before giving in and buying this Shimano Twin Power XD C3000HG spinning reel. I gave up smoking just before I turned 30 without any trouble at all, but I can't control myself around fishing tackle. Go figure………….
Anyway, as per always with a spinning reel, I can only tell you what I think of it after a certain amount of use, and yes, I am not Alan Hawk and his incredibly detailed and helpful in-depth spinning reel reviews. After another chunk of time I will report back on this reel, so please take this review of mine as merely my impressions after a certain amount of time with it. If it helps, I started using this Shimano Twin Power XD C3000HG at the start of August 2017, and to be honest I have hardly used another spinning reel since I (so weakly) gave in and bought it.
I can't get away from how much reel for the money the amazing 2016 model Shimano Stradic 3000FK is (review here), and my mate's one continues to perform flawlessly after a hell of a lot of saltwater use and not a whole lot of TLC. Of course there's the ever present argument about how many cheaper reels you could buy instead of this not remotely cheap Shimano Twin Power XD C3000HG, so let's be honest here - is the more expensive reel really going to last 2.4 times longer than the cheaper one (£359.99 Twin Power price divided by the £149.99 price of the Stradic)? Me sincerely thinks not, but a lot more time with this Twin Power will surely give me an inkling.
OK, so for £359.99 you should damn well expect this stunning looking Shimano Twin Power XD C3000HG spinning reel to be almost beyond sublime to fish with. And it is, to the point that sometimes when I am retrieving say a white senko at night, I turn my red bulb on and have a quick look to make sure the braid is actually coming back onto the spool as I turn the handle - it's almost too smooth, and it continues to be that smooth after three months or so. As it should be perhaps, but plenty of spinning reels I have fished with at least start to feel like they've had some decent use after this length of time (different degrees of "grindiness"). This Twin Power if anything feels better than when I first lovingly lifted it from its box.
I love the handle on this Twin Power, I love how the drag knob goes from zero to hero so quickly, the line lay is perfect of course, the 6.0:1 retrieve ratio works great for me on a reel of this size, I haven't had even a hint of braid trouble with a decent line level and casting all manner of lures in all manner of conditions (I have used both Sufix 832 and Sufix Performance Pro 8 braids on this reel, but to be honest I wouldn't expect any trouble from these two truly outstanding braids on a decent modern spinning reel anyway), the size of the reel for me sits really well on any of the lure rods I might use for my fishing, I am so glad there is no anti-reverse mechanism, and overall this Shimano Twin Power XD C3000HG is just a delight to fish with. We all like different stuff, but for me this reel just floats my boat. Will it catch more fish for me than the considerably cheaper Stradic? Nope, obviously not, but then I drive a Berlingo and you might drive a Mercedes and so on.
Is this Twin Power 2.4 times better than the cheaper Stradic 3000FK? Nope, but then how can a £149.99 spinning reel which fishes so well actually be made 2.4 times better for the sort of lure fishing we do? Sure, you can use more more expensive materials and innards or whatever, but in a saltwater environment, you and I both know that it's not going to add up to 2.4 times the life of the reel. I am not here to remotely try and justify the price of this Twin Power, and I am not going to tell you that I really need a spinning reel like this for my UK and Irish lure fishing. I sure as hell don't need the quoted 9kg of drag on this Shimano Twin Power XD C3000HG either, but it is a lovely smooth drag regardless, and as I said earlier, I like how it doesn't take endless turning to tighten it up a decent amount. Why give fish line when you don't need to?
I just really like lure fishing with this Shimano Twin Power XD C3000HG, and that's all there is to it really. Sure, it niggles me that you don't get a spare spool in the box, but then you don't tend to with the more expensive spinning reels. Hell, it seems to be increasingly rare that we get a spare spool with any spinning reels these days (I blame Brexit!), but that aside, this Twin Power does it for me to the point that I can't recall lure fishing with a specific spinning reel that I have liked quite as much. Time will tell how long this love affair goes on for - and as I said earlier, I will report back - but for the time being I can't get enough of this thing.
And I still blame the owner of Needful Things for "so innocently" putting this Shimano Twin Power XD C3000HG spinning reel into my hands in the first place………………..

text: Okay, well, I am, I think. It was a long July, and now that it's August, I am shocked that this summer has slipped by me so quickly. People are coming back, and things are changing. I'm still figuring out who I am, and I'm still trying to give my faith the upper hand. In a world where we are called to be faithful, we are constantly tempted to be simply of this world, rather than above it. That doesn't mean that we are, or that we don't fall, but that does mean that we strive to live as Christ lived, to live in him, with others, in this world of God's creation. We are called to follow Christ. We know where we are going. We have hope.

|(i wish our garden looked this cute! inspo via Pinterest)
I am beyond thankful for this weekend. For some reason, this week just drained me. Baby was a little sick through the week but not enough to cause this level of fatigue. To treat myself, I made a big pan of brownies and I am enjoying some with a large mug of Earl Grey tea. I have been on a tea kick lately. I made some fresh mint tea with some mint sprigs from our herb garden. It may be my new favorite thing.
Here are a few things that are on my mind/in my world right.
1. Watching the Work by Design Summit
I heard about Claire Diaz-Ortiz through the EntreLeadership podcast. She seems pretty interesting. So far the content has been pretty interesting but not completely in line with my worldview. It has sparked some interesting internal reflection and debate. There are still a bunch of sessions to go so maybe I'll do a summary post at the end.
2. I'm on Twitter
Yep, I did it. I feel weird. I haven't tweeted anything yet. I don't know to stay. My handle is @wearstripes. Follow if you don't mind radio silence.
3. Dreaming of home projects
I hope to see lots of paint in my future. I am ready to be past the planning phase and into the doing phase.
Have a great weekend!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Wear Pink for Breast Cancer
Tis the season to wear pink! From boutique designs to hunting gear, pink is everywhere thank to . Breast Cancer Awareness Month was founded in 1985 and is now observed across the United States and many other countries as well. That's why you're seeing so many people letting their pink flag fly. You should, too!
Be Super Aware – Get Screened
Yes, awareness is key to supporting those with cancer and all of us working together in finding a cure. However, as great as awareness is, screening is even better. Screening is an essential tool in the fight against breast cancer because when symptoms are caught early on you'll have a much better chance at a great outcome. Not sure if you qualify for screening assistance? Take our financial screener to find out!
Be a Savvy Awareness Sponsor
Not every pink product supports the cause! Sometimes referred to as "pinkwashing" this practice involves creating products for sale that look like they officially support Breast Cancer Awareness Month, when in fact they do not. Not sure who to donate to?
Social Sharing
One great way to show your support is to get active this month on social media. With your help screening and prevention concepts can reach all across your network and beyond. Share tweets and posts that are educational and inspirational as many times as you can for the rest of the month. Here are some great tweets to get you started:

Acceptance : Noticing The Great Carousel/
It's hearing that song play through headphones. There is something familiar about, and so it makes you feel real. There's comfort in the known, even the sour and sickly feelings of anxiety or the heavy footed pounding of depression. We are adaptable humans, to the point where our resilience, our motivation to survive, will turn any practiced state into something we can use - namely a false sense of security.
It's an old friend that you should have broken up with years ago. There's no enhancement happening by the two of you feeding the connection. And yet, you know her habits and thus their is something warming in the predictability. She'll always choose the precisely wrong words at the right time to make part of you ache. She'll forget to call on your birthday, you'll disagree on most principles of your lives, she'll disrespect your desire to travel, there will be an unnameable rivalry between the two of you, and she'll never fully respect or accept any of your lovers. There is always something too big about your plans, too small about the event of the day. A quiver of sarcasm in almost every response.
It's the habit you watch yourself performing as if you had removed left your body. Left the flawed physical container that does the same thing (or says the same thing or, thinks the same thing, or responds in the same way etc) as you watch from above. A movie that inevitably plays out in the same way every time. All you can do it watch and try to notice evidence of a root sticking out. Try to see, from your vantage point, if a tip of the root is exposed, poking through the surface, hoping to make itself seen so that is can be finally understood. Visibility is what we wall want, even our layered habits. If it's there, you can trace it from the tip, from the seen bit, deeper back into the unseen, into what lurks beneath that causes the familiar, safe pattern to play out each time. It's insane, and somehow, on some level, there is a surge of connection, a warmth of familiarity that flushes though you each time the pattern is performed.
With each day, new stimuli, and unpredictable happenstance, we search for ways to assert control. For some of us, it means living in way that is not serving us simply because it is familiar. It means choosing certainty over unknown because of its accessibility. Our intellect can play with pieces that it can understand. Math equations can be much more comforting than a blank, boundary-less page.
I speak from the frustration of familiar feelings rising up. I try to trade the disappointment of feeling, again, for curiosity as to what I still need to learn. For me, the feeling of inadequacy, of uncertainty to whether I have "what it takes" or "enough to offer" or if I "fit the part" is a tired run-around in my mind. However it has become a familiar part of my life. Daresay a friend.
Like being too old to ride the merry-go-round and having exciting plans to step outside of the amusement park entirely, and yet there is the big plastic horse with the red saddle and painted rose in its mane. There you are, just one more time, climbing on board, the familiar feeling not causing any surge of joy or childlike wonder, simply prompting, with slight shame you're aware, an illusion of control of certainty. Here, you know what will happen. Round and round you go.
Perhaps the practice becomes full surrender. Not only to the truth of the greater unknown, but also a giving over of the need to know when and how the music will stop playing, the friend will stop calling, and the ride will be over. Maybe it is the moment we trace the root as far as we can and then choose to fully accept what we find and what remains hidden. Acceptance, full and whole, without judgement or need to be any different, might be a supportive kind of comfort. One that stands in for familiarity. Acceptance is the pair of shoes that makes you realize just how worn out your others were; how much pain they caused you.
I'm considering the possibility that radical acceptance is the kindest gift I can offer myself. Accepting of: the choices I've made, not knowing what is going to happen, the feelings that rise and fall and seek to drown out any other awareness, the people who will or will not be there, those who will or will not say the things I want to hear, knowing how this great amusement park will stay in business, the inspiration that will flow forth and that which will halt just shy of my doorstep, my heart and all of its tragic and valiant attempts to navigate this experience as Erin.
Whole acceptance. It's a deep breath. It's an elongated exhale. It's my own arms wrapped around my body. It's unfaltering self-care. I trust that at some grand point, it becomes more comfortable, more familiar than the detail that I worked each day, with tenderness, to accept.

Patio Heater Frequently Asked Questions Posted on 22 Mar 06:18
Q: What size propane tank do I need for my patio heater?
Most full size patio heaters use a standard 20 pound propane tank. These are the same type of tanks that are commonly used with BBQ grills.
Q: Does the propane tank come with my patio heater?
Propane tanks do not typically come with the patio heater and must be purchased separately.
Q: Where do I purchase a propane tank?
Twenty pound propane tanks are easily found at home improvement stores. Additionally, there are several propane tank exchange companies where the customer can simply exchange an empty tank for a full one. This is very quick and easy.
Q: How much clearance is required above my patio heater?
Patio heaters must have clearance on all sides. It is recommended that there be three feet above the unit and two feet on each side of the unit.
Q: Can I use my patio heater indoors?
Propane patio heaters are never to be used indoors.
Q: Can I shorten the post on my patio heater so the unit is not so tall?
You should never shorten the center post on the patio heater. Patio heaters are only to be used at their original height.
Q: There is a piece of foam inside the bottom of the burner assembly around the hose? Should I remove this?
Some patio heaters come with a piece of foam inside the bottom of the burner assembly around the hose. This foam should be removed before assembling the head unit to the top of the center post. The foam is in place to keep the gas hose from being cut during shipping.
Q: Can my propane patio heater be converted to natural gas?
Our patio heaters are manufactured and safety certified for LPG only and we do not recommend altering them in any way. To do so could cause irreparable damage to the unit. If your home has a natural gas hook up then you should consider purchasing a natural gas patio heater.
Q: What is a Piezo igniter?
Many patio heaters come with what is called a Piezo igniter. A Piezo igniter is a hammer/quartz crystal mechanism. The igniter button is pressed which causes the hammer to strike the quartz crystal, creating a spark that ignites the propane.
Q: Can my patio heater be used on a wooden deck?
Patio heaters can be used on wooden decks provided that they are never left unattended. Like any fire, a responsible person of the age of majority must be present during all use.
Q: What is covered under warranty?
There is a warranty provided with each heater. This warranty is typically a one year warranty from the date of purchase. Warranty coverage is extended to damaged parts upon delivery and defective parts during the warranty period. The warranty does not cover normal wear due to use and weather related damage issues.
Q: Can I use my patio heater when it is windy?
It is recommended that you do not use a patio heater if wind conditions reach 10 miles per hour.
Q: Will low temperatures affect my patio heater?
The composition of propane changes in temperatures below 40 degrees F. While the heater may function, it will not function efficiently and will produce less heat than in temperatures over 40 degrees F.
Q: Can my patio heater be left in the rain and snow?
Patio heaters are outdoor products. However, leaving the heater exposed to the elements when not in use could cause the finish of the heater to deteriorate over time.
Q: Should I purchase a cover for my patio heater?
One excellent way to protect and extend the life of your patio heater is to purchase a cover. Covering your unit when not in use will keep your unit looking new by protecting it from the elements and also keep dust, moisture and bugs out of the burner assembly. It should be noted that a cover can act like a sail if the wind catches it so use caution when leaving covered patio heater unattended. Move the heater to an area protected from the wind or secure the heater to something immobile to keep the heater from blowing over.
Q: What size propane canister is used on a table top patio heater?
Table top patio heaters use a one pound propane canister that can be purchased at most home improvement stores.
Q: Can I use a 20 lb. propane tank with my table top patio heater?
There is an adapter hose available for purchase so that a table top patio heater can use a 20 pound propane tank.
Q: How does an infrared patio heater work?
Electric infrared patio heaters are a popular choice and an excellent alternative to gas heaters. Infrared patio heaters are electrical heaters that utilize an infrared bulb to heat the object within the glow of the bulb. It does not heat the air so it is not affected by wind. Electric infrared patio heaters are very inexpensive to operate as compared to gas heaters.
Q: How much does it cost to operate?
A 1500 watt electric infrared patio heater costs approximately 29 cents an hour to operate.
Q: Can it be operated in the rain?
Because infrared heaters are an electrical appliance, it is not recommended that they be used in the rain as there could be risk of electrocution.
Q: Do infrared patio heaters require special wiring?
A 1500 watt electric infrared patio heater draws close to 14 amps. It is recommended that it be on a dedicated line with no other appliances. A 20 amp circuit breaker is ideal.
Q: Which is hotter, infrared or halogen?
Infrared patio heaters have a more intense heat output than halogen patio heaters.

Objective. The aim was to investigate the mucosal activation of a broad range of genes associated with the T-helper 17 cell (Th17) signaling pathway in children at different stages of celiac disease (CD), including children with increased risk for CD and children with untreated and gluten-free diet (GFD)-treated CD. Material and methods. Small intestinal biopsies were taken from children with untreated and GFD-treated CD, transglutaminase antibody (TGA)-positive children with potential CD, and reference children. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) arrays were used to study the gene expression pattern of Th17-related genes, and quantitative PCR was used to study the interleukin (IL)-17A expression. Results. The mucosal expression of CD8A was elevated at all stages of CD. Children with untreated CD had diminished levels of IL-17RE, IL-23R, RORc, STAT6, CCL22, NFATC2, IL-18, CD4, CD247, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)9 but had elevated levels of MMP3, IL-17, interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and CD8A, compared to references. The majority of the aforementioned genes, being differentially expressed in untreated CD, displayed similar expression in GFD-treated children and references. Children with untreated and GFD-treated CD had elevated expression of IFN-gamma but had reduced expression of CD247. Interestingly, children with potential CD displayed reduced FOXP3, IL-21, and IL-17A levels. Conclusion. Mucosal upregulation of Th17 immunity occurs at the late stage of disease and is downregulated with dietary treatment, thus indicating that IL-17 immunity is not a fundamental feature of CD as Th1 immunity, which is not fully downregulated by GFD.
Background: Celiac disease (CD) and type 1 diabetes (T1D) are two chronic autoimmune diseases with increasing incidence worldwide. A combination of genetic, environmental and immunological factors is considered to be involved in development of the diseases, even though the exact disease mechanisms still are unknown. CD and T1D are both believed to be associated with type 1 like immune responses. However, there is limited knowledge about the complex network of intestinal and peripheral immune responses associated with the diseases.
Aims: The aim of this thesis was to explore intestinal and peripheral immune responses in children at different stages of CD and in children with T1D. Further, we studied peripheral immune responses in children at risk for T1D supplemented with probiotics during their first 6 months of life (PRODIA study).
Results & Discussion: Children with untreated CD had up-regulated T-helper (Th)1, T-cytotoxic (Tc)1, Th17 and T-regulatory (Treg) responses, but down-regulated Th2 and Th3 responses in the small intestine. The type 1 response (Th1 and Tc1) seemed to remain elevated in CD children under gluten free diet (GFD)-treatment and thus seemed to be related to the disease itself rather than the gluten intake. The Th2, Th3, Th17 and Treg responses seemed to be gluten dependent, since they normalized upon GFD-treatment. The alterations in the intestinal biopsies did not seem to correlate with the alterations seen in the blood Children with potential CD had diminished levels of the Th17 cytokine IL-17, whereas children with untreated CD had elevated levels of IL-17, indicating that IL-17 immunity develops in the late phase of CD when villous atrophy has developed. Furthermore, stimulation of intestinal epithelial cells with IL-17 induced anti-apoptotic mechanisms. The low intestinal expression of Th1, Th17 and Treg markers was normal in children with T1D, whereas children with T1D and CD had the same pattern as children with untreated CD: high intestinal secretion of pro-inflammatory and Th17 cytokines. The immune responses in children with T1D were generally influenced by the degree of villous atrophy.
As expected, the number of children in the PRODIA study developing T1D related autoantibodies during their first two years of life was low. No difference in the autoantibody emergence was seen between infants given probiotics compared to placebo. In the probiotic group, the number of circulating CD58+ monocytes was lower at 6 months of age. At 12 months of age the number of circulating CCR5+ monocytes was lower in the probiotic group, whereas the spontaneous expression of TLR9 on PBMCs was higher.
Conclusion: Most of the intestinal T-cell associated immune alterations were generally gluten dependent, since they normalized on a GFD treatment, but the type 1 response seemed to be related to the disease itself, since it was still seen in GFD treated individuals. IL-17 immunity seemed to be induced in the late stage of CD, when villous atrophy has developed and it seemed to be involved in protection from tissue damage in the inflamed intestinal mucosa. The intestinal immune responses were generally not reflected in peripheral blood.
Probiotic supplementation in infancy modulated the activation stage and stimulation response of monocytes. Thus, early exposure to microbes seemed to influence the function of the innate immune system in later life.

TORONTO (PRWEB) December 12, 2018
St. Lawrence Dentistry offers several dental services in Mississauga, and is licensed by the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario to provide sedation dentistry, a welcomed alternative for patients who might fear dental procedures or experience anxiety.
Since 2006 Dr. Hawryluk has worked in conjunction with Board Certified Medical Anesthesiologists to provide comfortable and safe dental care to patients under anaesthesia or sedation. Patients are provided with oxygen and sleep medicine through a breathing mask, and a small intravenous catheter is placed at the back of the hand of adults, or on the foot of children who might fear the sight of needles. The entire procedure is closely supervised with monitors placed on the chest and fingertip to ensure appropriate levels of oxygen, fluids and medication are maintained. During sedation dentistry services patients are completely asleep through the dental procedure, and up to 15-30 minutes thereafter.
Patient preparation for sleep dentistry is similar to other medical procedures; first an assessment is conducted to ensure sedation is not contraindicated due to illness, current medications, or a sensitivity to sedatives. It is required that patients not consume any solid food for 8 hours preceding the sedation, and only minimal liquids (up to 1 cup) can be consumed up to 3 hours before the procedure. Dentists recommended patients wear comfortable, loose fitting clothes so monitoring equipment can easily be applied. It is mandatory that patients confirm that a person will pick them up from the Mississauga dental clinic and drive them home after the procedure, as it is not safe for patients to operate a vehicle for 24 hours following sedation.
There are several advantages to sleep dentistry services in addition to overcoming anxiety about dental procedures. Pain is a major factor preventing individuals from proceeding with necessary dental work, with sedation patients have access to a pain-free alternative and can address dental issues before they exacerbate. Some dental procedures are time consuming and might require several visits to complete. Under sedation, many procedures can be fully completed, and in less time. Sedation dentistry might also be a necessity for patients who have concerns over motor control, such as individuals with Parkinson's or ADHD who cannot stay immobile for a long period of time. Sedation puts the body in a relaxed state, allowing dentists to complete the procedure without resistance or uncontrolled movements from the patient.
Sedation dentistry is often viewed as a luxury, but is actually an affordable service available to children, adults and seniors. Access to a pain-free alternative is welcomed by many individuals who might otherwise avoid addressing dental issues and let their teeth deteriorate over time. With sedation options, perceived barriers to maintaining dental health are minimized, empowering individuals to actively manage their dental health and wellbeing for the long-term.

First Day of the Rest of My New Life
I got laid off Wednesday. Thank God for unemployment and thank God I was a hippie when I was young and know how to live without any material possessions - cause I sure won't be buying anything now.
Seriously, I could be a lot worse off. I've just got to remember the old addage:\
"Go with the flow! "

It happens to all of us at one point in time. We get into an automobile collision and need the best auto body shop in Madison. Hopefully, it is not too bad and we are not seriously injured. But usually the car does not fare as well and comes away with significant damage.
What is the next step after your collision and you need an auto body shop?
Likely, after informing the insurance company you take your vehicle to one of their "approved" vendors.
Here is what happens next. You tell the insurance company what company you choose. By this time they have already taken phones of the car and know how extensive the damage is. If you need an expert to take a look, make sure you go to a repair shop in Madison.
They have a computer system that gives them a printed estimate stating what the replacement parts and labor will be based upon a set hourly rate.
This statement is given to the body shop. It comes with a break down of what the labor and parts "should" be and the company has to usually be able to totally fix the car for that price.
Laser Wheel Alignment: Chassis Mounted Vs Wheel Mounted
Keep in mind that what is printed out represents the best case scenario and doesn't allow for items on the car that was missed or problems that come up.
Now here are some things to watch out for. a local auto body shop in Madison is operating under very, very thin margins and the incentive to "cut corners" is huge. Getting an extra $300 off a job can really add up over the course of the month when you are talking about doing at least 3-5 vehicles every week.
The Importance of Proper Wheel Alignment
Replacement Parts in Auto Body Shops
Make sure the parts being used on your car are OEM parts. These are replacement auto body parts in Madison are sent directly from the car manufacturers and are designed with the same specs as the vehicle came with.
Aftermarket parts can be significantly cheaper yet are not the same quality and make not hold up the same in the event of another accident.
No Realignment? Talk to Your Auto Repair Team!
The frame is usually somewhat bent when a car goes through an accident of any kind. It needs to be properly realigned. You need a serious all hands on deck auto body shop to take care of you here.
Unfortunately, because the money made off one car can be very little the propensity to skip this step is very high. Later down the road this will cause your car to not drive straight but at a tilt and your tires will wear prematurely. So if you need to brush up on some tire repair, ask your mechanic straight away.
Using Bondo (Fillers) Instead of Replacing the Part
Filling any damage in with bondo is not bad in itself. If you know what the auto body shop in Madison is doing, they tell you, and this is what you are paying for then it is fine.
The problem comes in when you think you are getting a vehicle back that is 99.9% the same as before it was wrecked and it is not. Filling a damaged part in with filler rather than replacing the expensive part is a common tactic and you want to make sure it is not done on your vehicle.
Watch A Full Body Shop Repair In 90 Seconds
All damaged parts should be replaced unless you are paying a lower price for the car to just be fixed (in the case you want the cheapest price and do not care about having a car exactly the same as before). Again, you should really speak to your best auto body shop nearest you!
Keep in mind that most auto body repair shops are honest and are surviving in a tough industry.
When you think of auto body shops, the first thing that pops into your mind is usually a place where you bring your car to after you an accident that needs some sort of collision or damage repair done; you might also think that an auto body shop is a place where you would bring your car to for some minor touch up work for various scratches or dents that have mysterious migrated onto your car. Thinking these things is by no stretch wrong but another thing that auto body shops perform is custom car modifications.The realm of things that can fall into the category of custom automotive work are endless. Everything ranging from body kits to mufflers and even paint jobs can be perform by your local body shop providing they have the proper supplies and equipment for the job. As with all things, some auto body shops have a better reputation then others when it comes to do custom work. A good thing to keep in mind is the workload of the garage you are planning on visiting on any given time. If the body shop you are trying to use is full of customers, they might very well be able to do the work but the turn around time would be long. If the reputation of the shop is good enough then it is worth the wait and going through the hassle of making other plans while your car is being worked on.After you have decided on the type of work you would like to have done to your car, you should specifically ask one of the auto body shops you have in mind if they can perform the job. If you have a fancy car that requires special tools of mechanical knowledge then it might be out of the realm of possibility for certain garages. It is also well worth it to research the auto body work shop you are planning on visiting in terms of any complaints filed against them before you bring your car in. The best way to do this is by looking on the Internet for reports filed against the shop you are interested in.Before any custom work is done to your vehicle you should ask upfront for a clear cut estimate and to be telephoned if any extra work needs to be performed that is vital to the success of the original job request. If you have found a good garage, they would not do any extra work without your prior consent or agreement.
Auto Body Shops and Custom Work
The insurance companies nickel and dime them at every turn and they are made to give them at time ridiculous discounts to get any business. That's why having an auto body shop in your corner can't be stressed enough.
Nevertheless, all an auto body shop should be on is your side and corners should not be cut at your expense and being watchful is just a smart way to go.
Your Auto Body Shop In Madison Should Help You With What Car Needs Exactly?
How many times have you been in this situation: You are owed money on a construction project and are thinking of filing a mechanic's lien. But you know that after filing it there will begin a serious dispute process, and probably involving the hiring of lawyers on each side. You would like to send a notice to the other side telling them that if it is not paid, more serious steps will be taken. Well, there is a form to be used in this situation. In my experience, this is a very popular form--so much so we would like to make it available to the construction industry.This form below warns the owner that you will be filing a mechanic's lien if payment is not made within ten days. Hopefully, it will create a serious dialogue for settlement. Come up with your bottom line amount to settle and be prepared to offer it to the owner if he or she is negotiating in good faith. Remember that the last thing an owner wants is a lien on their property: it jeopardizes title, interferes with their relationship with the construction lender, and prevents refinancing or sale. This Notice is worded in a non-threatening manner so as to capitalize on this situation, with the owner knowing that you are required by law to file a lien within a set period of time or lose your lien rights.WHO CAN USE THIS FORM? All persons, whether general contractor, subcontractor, or supplier.HOW TO SERVE: There is no need to file this with the court or record with the recorder's office. It is simply served by mailing.WHO TO SERVE: If you are a general contractor, serve the owner and construction lender. If you are a subcontractor or supplier, serve the owner, general, and construction lender.HOW TO SERVE: Although not required, it is recommended for its effectiveness to be served by certified mail.WHEN: Serve ten days before you file or record the mechanic's lien. Remember, it does not extend the time to file a mechanic's lien.NOTARIZED? No.COPIES: The original signed copies are served. Keep an extra copy for your records.CERTIFICATE OF MAILING. Use a standard Proof of Service form. Sign this Proof (it is like a certificate of mailing) and staple it to the form so you have proof it was mailed to the various persons or entities.MARGINS AND FONT. This is a Word document so use the following margins so it prints out properly: Top: 18 pt; Bottom: 22 pt; Left: 58 pt; Right: 58 pt. Type size is 12.HOW TO USE? Cut and paste the form into a new Word document.WHICH STATES?Use this notice only in the following states: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia.As to California, you can use it until further notice. California is in the process of amending its mechanic's lien statutes which will require a specific notice. Check our web site for that new form.SAMPLE FORM STARTS HERENOTICE OF INTENTION TO FILE A MECHANIC'S LIEN (General) (This is not a Mechanic's Lien, nor a reflection on the credit of any contractor)__________________________________________________________________________________ Via Certified MailTO OWNER:_________________________________________________ (name(s))________________________________________________ (address--no. and street)________________________________________________ (address--city, state, zip)FROM GENERAL CONTRACTOR:_______________________________________________ (name(s))_______________________________________________ (address--no. and street)_______________________________________________ (address--city, state, zip)______________________________________________ (fax/phone)Please take notice that the undersigned lien claimant intends to file a Mechanic's Lien against your property if payment is not made for moneys owed as follows:PROJECT NAME: __________________________________________________________________________________PROPERTY SUBJECT TO LIEN (common street address or other description): __________________________________________________________________________________(1) General description of construction services furnished by Lien Claimant: _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________(2) Amount due: Through _________ (date) is $ _____________ after just credits (total performed, with extras of $ ___________ , less payments of $ ____________ ).

Anxiety, Depression, Guilt
The season of pretending
Where are you Joy?
Families are a mess
My sanity is in question
Where are you Peace?
Broken hearts
Longing for a hand to hold
Where are you Love?
A baby lay in a manger
Long ago
Wrapped in cloths
In the cold of the night
They say He is the Hope for mankind
They say He is the Prince of Peace
They say He is Love eternal
They say He came for me.
There is something here,
It calls me to stay
Maybe it is Hope
Maybe it is Peace
Maybe it is Love
The smile on a strangers face
Tells me there are answers.
Oh Christmas, tell me your secrets

(Full time) 2019 start
German BA
Germany is one of the world's largest economies, and its language is widely spoken across Europe, especially in the emerging markets of Central and Eastern Europe.
A German degree from Leeds will allow you to become fluent in this powerful language while giving you a genuine insight into German culture and society – equipping you with valuable skills that make you highly attractive to employers.
You'll consolidate and develop your spoken and written German through core language modules. You will also choose from a wide range of optional modules including applied language (translation and language for professional purposes) and modules exploring various aspects of German culture, history and politics.
The size of our department allows us to offer flexible degrees with a wide variety of choice, and our active German Society contributes to a strong sense of community. With our expert tutors and great language facilities, at Leeds we can help you get to where you want to go.
Specialist facilities
Our fully-equipped Language Centre offers plenty of facilities for language students, including digital language labs, audio/video practice booths and Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL).

It's all designed to prepare you for your year abroad, which you'll usually spend in either Germany or Austria, refining your language skills and gaining first-hand experience of the local culture.
When you come back, you'll have a fresh perspective on your studies, which will incorporate advanced language learning alongside further optional modules.

Mount Tecumseh
On the drive to the trailhead this morning we were in and out of the fog. The hike for today would be another 4,000 footer, Mount Tecumseh (4,003') via the Mount Tecumseh Trail from the Waterville Valley Ski area. This is the shortest mountain on the AMC 4,000 footer list.
Saturday, October 13, 2012
Hike to Carter Dome via Mount Hight
A cold front last night brought snow to the high peaks. Cold, crisp and clear was the forecast for today. As we set out for the trailhead temps were in the 20's - wind chill was colder! Today's hike would take us up the 19 Mile Brook Trail to Mount Hight via the Carter Dome Trail then over to Carter Dome along the Carter-Moriah Trail and down to Carter Notch Hut. The return trip to the trailhead would be down the 19 Mile Brook Trail. This hike was 10.4 miles long and included a 4,000 footer, Carter Dome (4,832').
Monday, October 8, 2012
Hiking the Moats
Driving to the trailhead through Pinkham Notch I caught an occasional glimpse of white on the highest peaks, snow from last night's passing cold front. The high summits remained in the clouds all day. Today's hike would take me up to the Moats, a beautiful set of mountains that can be seen from North Conway, NH.

I'm planning on teaching a Gender and Islam course this Fall, and as I collect readings, I realize popular and scholarly sources are ALWAYS producing work on gender-and-Islam.
Fascinating that, to Muslims and non-Muslims, gender is usually the primary shaping factor of religious identity, and the most salient Issue.
So my reading list grows, and grows, and grows. Works on spirituality, service, creed, etc? Much less so. So when people say they are "just human" and not feminist, or they don't see gender, I tend to giggle inwardly. Let's accept our general fixation and examine it, instead of pretending it's not there.

Emilee just 6 days old in the neonatal department in hospital
Emilee 8 days old at Tyler's 4th Birthday Party
This is my sweet baby girl Emilee! She was born August 19, 1998 and her birth stats are in the table below! Emilee surprised us all by coming three weeks and four days early! I was sitting and sleeping in the recliner in the living room when my water broke! Surprised the heck out of me because with Tyler I was induced I never had my water break! So anyways I woke up my hubby and said I think my water just broke but it says in this book to call your doctor and you might still not go into labor right away. So I told him to go back to sleep and I would call my mom who was my lamaze coach and we would go up to the hospital...if anything happened we would call! Well, by the time we reached the hospital I was having hard contractions, we live in the country and the hospital is 45 minutes away! My contractions were pretty hard and about five minutes apart...they rushed me right in, and to make a long story short I had her about 6 hours later! In between that time was alot of heavy breathin, back labor and whirlpool tub:))) Sounds like fun??? Since she was so early she had to stay in the neonatal unit of the hospital for her first week, which was really tough on us all.

Trucking Association offers no-toll alternative to the state's Rhode Works plan
Plan to provide predictable revenue to address deteriorating roads and bridges
Earlier this year, OOIDA and the Rhode Island Trucking Association blasted the state's Rhode Works toll plan claiming it is anti-business. The state's plan would toll trucks $100 million a year to pay for bridge repairs, bus and rail service, bike lanes and sidewalks. As far as truckers are concerned, the state's RhodeWorks plan is unfair and nothing more than double taxation in the form of a 'user fee' for Trucks only. Federal law prohibits tolls on any roads or bridges funded by federal fuel taxes and other taxes going into the Highway Trust Fund so to get around that an electronic user fee would be imposed.

This Week in Time : 12th to 18th December
If you would like to see your watch featured on Timepiece Chronicle then make sure to use #thisweekintime when posting
As I'm sure you were all aware, over the weekend the Hodinkee Collectors Summit 2015 took place and boy did #hsummit light up Instagram for a few days. Mint Daytonas cosying up to Nautiluses (Nautilus's....Nautili?), NOS Heuers next to Speedmaster. Based soley off the Instagram pictures it seemed like a fantastic event and this watch was one making it's rounds throughout the attendees. This Universal Geneve Compax, courtesy of michaelzeff, was one of my favorite pieces on show, not just for an amazingly crisp dial but also for it's amazingly modern size of 46mm. 46mm!! Oh wow! The hands have just got the perfect amount of patina on them and I love the vintage strap that you can just about seeing on either side.
I've said before that it's only the watch I'm interested in for #ThisWeekinTime but sometimes the framing and photography as well so of course I was gonna use this when I saw it. This stunning photo of a Rolex Submariner Ref. 6538 with jumping ladybird is courtesy of mattsworldpics and boy what a photo it is. I'm not sure what to look at first, the watch or the bug! Browsing through Matt's instagram you can see how much he truly loves watches and uses his skills in photograph to capture them in all their mechanical glory. Excuse me whilst I go find a caterpillar to drape on my Zenith!
Each watch is unique to it's owner; how the watch is worn, strap choice, each scratch and ding is special. This customized Undone watch by jazzbass251 is special because of all those things and because of the elements that David wanted added to it. The bass clef at 12 is such a personal touch yet it doesn't look out of place at all on the dial. (Reminds me of when I was in the bass section in Choir at school. Nowadays I'm a tenor. Strange how voices change over time!) I like the subtle different shades of oranges on the hour markers on the dial and bezel with the lighter hands really standing out against them both.
Last Tuesday was the Christies Speedmaster sale so Instagram was flooded on that very special Speedy Tuesday. This Ref.145.022 belongs to none other than 1025vintage who purchased the watch a few days ago and it's a beauty. This Speedmaster is the same reference as worn by Ed White and seemingly hasn't aged a day since then. A beautiful step dial really makes this watch for me (along with everything else about it to be honest) and congrats have to be given on such a great choice.
This is a piece that photographs don't do justice as seeing this pocket watch in motion in someone's hands is a sight to behold. This video is from swisswatches and it shows everything in such detail. My favorite part of this pocket watch is the tourbillon that forms a Maltese Cross every fifteen seconds. Imagine the painstakingly large amount of time that has gone into designing this piece is mindboggling. Whilst I think that the dial is perhaps over-designed, the majesty of the movement underneath is on a whole other level.
Looking at the photos from Atom Moore and now Justinvrakas here, I think to myself that I really really need to get myself a macro lens. This reference Bulova diver has been featured before on #ThisWeekinTime but on another wrist and it's great to see it again up close. With the macro lens you can see every detail that a quick glance won't show you: the subtle bend of the chronograph seconds hand, the polishing marks on the hour markers and the vinyl record like grooves on the sub dials. I just love it.
The cliched phrase of "They don't make 'em like this anymore" is often heard when talking about watches. Whilst it is true in some cases, this two-tone omega from 1938 is certainly one of that isn't made anymore! What a dial. The amazing Art Deco numerals, the combination of the black and grey dial, the wicked hands. This my friends, is an amazing watch. Thanks to josecarlossaldanha for sharing on Instagram!

How to develop persistence/
You've probably read articles and bloggers talk about how you need persistence. I used to think this was a ethereal quality that I lacked and somehow need to push through another back-breaking barrier of hard work to achieve.
Now I don't believe persistence comes about like that.
I believe persistence comes through this process:
1) Having a vision (your version of a a 'wow' life) which for you, is something worth pursuing!
2) Asking for what you want, and
3) To keep asking
Something worth pursuing
Only your most beautiful, plentiful, most glorious dream has any real power. The other ideas aren't enough to pull, draw or entice us from our current security. We know we COULD take the prestigious government scientist job that everyone else thinks is great, but what we actually want is to lead an engineering company developing sustainable solutions for the developing world or becoming organic farmer. Or cake-maker or party hostess. Whatever it is.
When we dream enough, allowing ourselves to do that, imaging every possible detail of a wonderful life that sustains and engages and pleases US and we know WHY we want to do it, we realise we HAVE to do it, we won't act on or settle for a life of anything less.
Stepping into that 'you' - the one you want to be - even for a few seconds (and in your head!) creates a force and determination in you that develops persistence.
It is the desire of something that needs expressing within us that gives us this muscle, that previously we thought we didn't have.
We have to ask
This week last year, I was about to go into my last week of full-time work. Supported by my coach at the time, I'd approached my boss and asked to go part-time, despite the fact that at the time there was no part-time position available (it was created). Of course, the business I worked for took a decision based on its need, not just my request, but the fact is I had to ask before it could be considered. And they said yes!
Of course, there is the possibility that someone says 'No.' And it's disappointing and you feel as though you've failed, it's all gone wrong. But opportunities abound. After a time, our energy and enthusiasm is renewed and we try again. Not necessarily the same question of the same person. But ask again for what we want.
Keep asking
When I was about 6 years old, during a particularly wet and windy spell, my schoolfriend and I wanted somewhere to sit during playtime, about an hour and a half a day ,over three breaks.
We shared our laments one afternoon with our headteacher, who was often on playground duty. He said nothing, just ignored us our dancing around him, trying to get his attention.
So we developed our own course of persistence, following him round the playground, giving him every reason we could think of for being able to sit down somewhere (our legs were tired, we wanted to talk, we would be a bit more sheltered from the rain) asking him in slightly whiny voices 'But Whyyyyy?' whenever he refused our claims.
We had come up with this plan together and egged on by each other and our desire, we persisted. We were quite giggly and small, and my headmaster was over 6ft, so I can imagine two small schoolgirls tiptoeing behind him, flicking the whistle he carried (wound around his fingers, hands held behind his back) as he strolled round the playground would have been fairly irritating.
After several weeks of this every lunchtime (I'm pretty sure it was at least two weeks but time seemed much longer in those days!), he gave in.
Whether it was because he got fed up with us always hanging around or he had a sudden moment of pity for us, I don't know. I suspect the former but I remember being faintly surprised by our victory and delighted. We had got what we wanted!
We delighted in the honour of sharing a small log every lunchtime, to the envy of our other friends who were suspicious of this preferential treatment.
Thinking back now to such a little example makes me wonder. How much in my life have I thought I couldn't have what I wanted because I didn't ask, let alone persisted?
Is there something you really want right now? Have you asked for it? Are you prepared to keep asking?

Installing Email Server without any GUI (All CLI, line-by-line)
As such, I have it preset for them to set the private IP address they would like, what web address they want, or DNS address they want, and what VoiP phone's/#'s to input.
I'm now working on Email Servers, but I cannot find any guide that doesn't have some sort of GUI during the installation. I was wondering if anyone knew of an online guide all text based, that could help me figure out how to build this step in my installer.
I just need an email server guide enough to get 2 people email addresses on the same public network that I can configure my MX Records on my local DNS, and be able to send/receive/view/delete emails.
*(Note: I am using raspbian lite os with several Pi3B's.)

Having found a button phobic who was willing to work with me I began to send her photographs of buttons in order to gauge her response to a range of buttons. Some of these (below) I asked her to put into order of repulsion so that it might be possible to discover a pattern- in terms of colour, size, design and material. (The numbers on the photos are mine for identification rather than her order.)
I sent images rather than the real thing in order that her reaction displayed revulsion rather than fear (a distinction explored in the paper: Disgust and a Specific Phobia of Buttons by Lissette M Saavedra Ms. and Wendy K Silverman Phd. (Publ J.Am.Acad.Child adoles. Psychiatry Nov 2002).
I then called her and she put them in order. With other photographs of specific buttons, she wrote on them and sent the photo back. I have now started to make pictures based on her response.

Jada Emotionally Helps Singer, August Alsina, Reveal His Severe Disease To Fans
ILOSM fam' we all can use a good shoulder to lean on every now and then and for singer, August Alsina, his good friend, Jada Pinkett Smith, was that shoulder for him recently. *Scroll to bottom to see Jada's and Augusts' emotional interview clips*
Some of us Old Schoolers may not be very familiar with the 25 year old cat who burst onto the R&B scene few years ago, so let us first catch you up to speed on who he is. He's the 25 year old New Orleans, La. bred singer who released his first album in 2015 through Def Jam Records. His hit, "I Luv This Sh*t" is still heating up the airwaves…
He's also the young brotha who was rumored to be dating Jada's mother, earlier this year (2017), after photos surfaced of him on family vacations with the Smith family. The rumor really caught steam when August posted a photo online of just he and Jada's mom, with a caption that read "date night." It turns out, Jada refers to him as her close friend and he has been pictured quite often with Jada and her family for about two years now.
Now, in an emotional interview, Jada is helping August talk to his fans and reveal the real cause behind his frequent health issues that have had many of his fans concerned. He collapsed on stage a couple years ago, then he was in a coma and shortly after that, he revealed that he was going blind and had to have some type of surgery during his hospitalization.
Sadly, Jada and August have finally revealed that he has a very severe level of kidney disease, which runs in his family. August admitted, in the interview, that he didn't want to tell his fans initially, because he didn't want sympathy.
He posted two videos of his conversation with Jada to Instagram. In his first caption, he expressed gratitude for Jada taking the time to help him through this:
@augustalsina: Sat down with my favorite person on planet earth to have one of the most HEALING conversations.. I hope it's as healing for you as it was for us. I pray that you not only hear me but you FEEL me. This shall soon come. #DRUGS
In the second caption he asked his fans for forgiveness and support:
@augustalsina: Please excuse my defense mechanism in this clip..
I'm sicker than ever & having a hard time accepting what I feel & what the Doctors are saying is most true. After sitting down and talking with my fathers mother and sister.. They explained to me that sickness & illness runs in my family. My father & grandfather both died of severe illness. 😞😒 but they were FIGHTERS & that's all that matters. 💪🏽✨✨✨ Just ride with me is all I ask.
Keeping August Alsina in our thoughts and prayers as he fights toward a full recovery from his illness.

Watch Report is a Dutch magazine about watches and their fourth edition has just appeared in the stores. Watch Report has nice cover stories and their coverage on novelties is quite actual for a magazine on paper. One of the subjects in the latest copy is a top 3 of all time favorite watches, given by Watch Report readers. The result is no surprise, but personally I would have thought that place 1 and 2 would be vice-versa.
So, here it goes, the Top 3 of watches (of all time) by Watch Report:
1. The Omega Speedmaster Professional. Watch Report pictured a ref.105.002-62, caliber 321 model. However, since I don't have one, here is a picture of my own 145.022-67 caliber 321, on a ref.1039 bracelet.
2. Rolex Submariner. It doesn't tell which model exactly, Watch Report pictured an early 5513. However, since I don't have a 5513, here goes a picture from JKWatchStore (who has some nice ones in stock):
3. Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 'Jumbo'. In the magazine, a pre A-series is being pictured, which I don't have. Aside from the dial, nothing much changed with the current ref.15202ST version, which is pictured below.
I love the Top 3 selection and I seem to fit in the general opinion of the readers perfectly 🙂 Other watches that were submitted but didn't make it in the Top 3 were:
All pretty classic and iconic time pieces if you ask me. As I wrote above, I wouldn't have guessed that the Submariner would be 2nd place and the Speedy on the first spot. My personal top 3 would look a bit different, 1. Speedmaster Professional, 2. Royal Oak (non-Offshore), 3. Nautilus.
What is your Top 3? Leave a comment below, as I am very curious if the Watch Report magazine represents most of us 🙂
Ever since he was a young child, Robert-Jan was drawn to watches, even though it were digital Casio and quartz Swatch models at the time. In the mid-1990s, his interest increased when he started to read about mechanical watches in... read more

So, when last we touched base, I had convinced hubby to finally try CrossFit. Well, I'm happy to say he survived, and has agreed to try it for 2 weeks (for free) and then decide if he's going to sign up for real. His two weeks start next Monday (on his birthday!), and we've signed up for the 6:30pm class together. I'm excited to get to workout with him, and then after class, I will take him out for a nice birthday dinner.
Before we go WOD together on Monday, we get to golf together on Saturday. We are playing in a charity tournament with our friends Pam and Mark at Wooden Sticks…an awesome "copy cat" golf course. It has holes from some of the top courses from around the PGA. It should be a fun afternoon and I'm really looking forward to it. I'm going to need to watch this video for a hole by hole run down of the course.
Speaking of golf, the weather cooperated on Tuesday and I was able to get out for my weekly EWGA league night. We missed the week before due to torrential rain, so it was nice to get out there again. I even managed to play a decent game, shooting a 46. I think my best before was a 49. Between that, and shooting a decent round (99) last Sunday, my handicap has dropped! I'm getting closer to the 2nd flight. Not sure I will make it, but I'm making progress!
I've got my second round match play game next Tuesday. Hopefully I can keep the good stuff going. Fingers crossed!
Okay..bedtime. I'm reading a new book and hoping to read a few chapters before I can't hold my eyes open anymore.
Sweet dreams!
What are you reading these days?

From November 2017 until the start of 2018, HENI Gallery in London presented an exhibition of works by Simone Fattal to coincide with the publication of Simone Fattal: Watercolours by HENI Publishing.
The limited edition book presents over 100 watercolours works, from still lifes to abstracts. Made between 1972 and 2016, the book depicts a combination of painting, collage and sculptural works, all preceded by a discussion with the Artistic Director of London's Serpentine Gallery, Han-Ulrich Obrist. This open discussion sees Fattal ruminating on her childhood in Damascus, her publishing company Post-Apollo Press, and other recurring themes that continue to inspire her long-standing affinity with the watercolour medium.
ArtReview reviewed the exhibition as in their February 2018 issue

A Spirited Affair
By Lisa Shames | Photo: Courtesy of Rabbit Hole | August 21, 2017
He has deep roots in Chicago, but Kaveh Zamanian found his true passion in Louisville—and that's good news for bourbon lovers.
Kaveh Zamanian admits he wasn't always a fan of bourbon; scotch was more his jam. But that all changed when he met Heather Bass, a Kentucky native who introduced him to the American whiskey's attributes—as well as her own. The couple married and moved from Logan Square to a suburb near Louisville, where they settled in with their three children. A few years later, Zamanian, a psychoanalyst by trade and history buff by nature, reached out to a few of the city's bourbon industry insiders and, after doing some experimenting, got the bug to make it himself. It was Heather who came up with the company's name, Rabbit Hole, an apt description of the journey they soon would be taking.
Last November, Chicago got a taste of Rabbit Hole's three spirits: Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, Kentucky straight rye whiskey and a straight bourbon whiskey finished in PX sherry casks. A Kentucky rye barrel finish London dry gin will be available soon. And Zamanian and Rabbit Hole are just getting started. In early 2018, a 55,000-square-foot facility near Louisville's Churchill Downs racetrack will open, featuring a bar, restaurant and event space in partnership with Proprietors LLC (the same cocktail consulting team behind NYC's trendsetting Death & Co.), along with a new state-of-the-art distillery. "Consumers are more sophisticated these days," says Zamanian, "and we saw the opportunity to do something different."
