Your Tablet has Wi-Fi Access, but What About this 4G Access Thing?
The ability to access, read and interact with data remotely really is the name of the game when it comes to modern day living. Whether it's your cell phone, your newly acquired smart speaker or even a new tablet you've gotten, getting information now, when you need it, is the way it's all going.
Tablet technology has exploded in just the last several years and literally puts the power of the internet in your hand – in a larger format – right now. In many cases, that's allowed tablets to replace both laptop and desktop application for many people.
When you consider acquiring one of EPC, Inc's "New-In-Box iPad Mini 2s", something to consider is that in addition to getting a great item at an outstanding price, you'll also now have access to mobile information access, regardless of your available Wi-Fi connections. Let me explain.
In addition to having access to all of the standard features of an iPad, in a smaller presentation, you'll also have cellular access ability. This can help you access even more information in a number of ways.
- 4G Connectivity: This allows you to connect to the Internet via your cell phone provider even when you're away from work or home when you don't have access to a Wi-Fi network. This is a great solution for those who travel a lot. The additional access typically will add a small cost to your monthly phone plan that ranges currently from $5-15 extra per month.
- GPS: While cell phone technology and the enhancements to GoogleMaps & other available map applications via cell phone have been enhanced, having a larger screen and 4G connectivity will not only make it easier to see your location and where you need to go, but also delivers more accuracy.
What you may have also noticed is the added price for the 4G-possible iPad. Several things to consider when deliberating additional cost include:
- Are you on the road and away from a Wi-Fi Network often? If so, the 4G connectivity is instantly valuable.
- Only have it mostly at home? Having 4G potential allows you to (depending on your provider) to use it not only at home via Wi-Fi, but also to ask your provide to "turn-on" the 4G access so now you have complete mobile access to information, and then turn if off (along with the additional cost) when you aren't using it.
- How are your eyes? The fact is that, for most, your eyesight will worsen over time and looking at data, maps, movies and more is just simply easier on the larger tablet screen.
No matter how, or when you want to access information, our new-in-box iPad Mini 2s are another excellent technology deal that we're happy to share with you and your business and/or family.
Use the form below to tell us more about your needs and we'll have a sales representative contact you immediately!

Another year is coming to an end and with that, a list of my favourites in movies, music, and TV. Again, not a "Year-End Best of" list by any means, just things that I loved this past year.

- Tyler Hilton, One More Song
- Nick Jonas, Jealous
- Jessie J, Masterpiece
- Michael Jackson ft. Justin Timberlake, Love Never Felt So Good

- Snowpiercer
- Nightcrawler
There were some REALLY good new shows that came out this year.

Let's do the Time Warp again
Last weekend, at long last, I finally saw "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" for the first time. It was inevitable that I watch it sooner or later. The cult classic seemed to be everywhere around me: friends talking about going to see it over Halloween weekend, in a scene from the original "Fame", and, more importantly, on this past week's episode of "Glee". I wanted to see "Rocky Horror" before I watched "Glee" so that I could fully enjoy the episode. So when I got back to my room one night to see people starting to watch "Rocky Horror", I decided to join them.
To say "Rocky Horror" is weird is an understatement. I was confused throughout most of the movie and spent a lot of time talking to my friends about what the writers were on when they wrote the script. And it was definitely experience to see Susan Sarandon and Tim Curry looking…different than they usually do these days. But despite its weirdness, for lack of better word, "Rocky Horror" is certainly an interesting movie. Between the bizarre plot, the lighthearted singing and dancing and the costuming, the last thing "Rocky Horror" can be described as is boring.
This morning I read an article on a Yahoo! blog about the movie that has been popular for 35 years. The blog attributes the success of "Rocky Horror" to a few factors, but there is one main point: according to the blog, "Simply put, 'Rocky Horror' isn't like your normal trip to the megaplex. Instead, it's a party."
According to the blog, audiences everywhere (many movie theaters still play "Rocky Horror" around Halloween time every year) don't just sit idly in theaters watching the film on a large screen. Instead, they dress up in costumes like those seen in the movie, shout profanities back at the screen and bring props to mimic some of the on-screen action.
"Rocky Horror" is a cultural experience that still has a huge place in pop culture. Whether or not everyone likes the movie, it seems to be here to stay. So let's do the Time Warp again!

There are a few people in my life who've used my lifestyle as reasons for my anxiety and the related symptoms.
- I'm nauseous all the time because I make dishwasher detergent instead of buying a commercial brand.
- My exhaustion is from not eating a proper diet.
- The anxiety is because my home is messy.
- I'm physically weak and that causes my joint pain, so I need to work out more.
Sorry to burst your bubbles, but my dishwasher detergent is chemical-free so it's probably healthier than commercial brands. I eat tons of fresh fruit and veggies, proteins and grains and vitamins while not consuming many processed foods and drinking a shit ton of water (Yup, I officially measured). I have panic attacks even when my home is clean and exercise makes my joint feel worse. Plus, the way I can lift and toss and wrestle my nephews is proof enough to me that I'm not that weak.
People always want to offer solutions to someone who is feeling ill. While, often, my experience has been that the intention is kind, it hasn't been so with my anxiety. These suggestions of the root cause of my anxiety are malicious and hostile, as if it's my fault I'm fucked.
I'm so tired of it. It's probably easy to assume from the fact that I'm a vegan eco-feminist that I have a lot of opinions on the way other people live their lives. But I keep them to myself. So, please, kindly do the same when it comes to how my lifestyle impacts my mental health or I'll unleash all my judgment on you.
One thing that I will admit does contribute to my anxiety is my tendency to pile way too much onto my plate and then refuse to drop anything.

The VetEx Women's Denali Team's second training took place in Leadville, Colorado March 30th – April 1st, 2018. This training was intended to be much more intense and realistic than the first training in January where we met each other, slept in a hostel and attempted the Angel of Shavano in Salida. The Leadville training itinerary consisted of 3 nights of winter camping, rope team training, and hopes of summiting Homestake Peak at 13,209'.
Friday morning the team arrived at the grocery store armed with a list of meals and a breakdown of their ingredients. Our first test: distribute the list and shop as a team. We tackled it with ease and next we broke down all the meals by day. We consolidated cars and headed up to Crane Park Trailhead. There we were briefed by VetEx Co-founder and Leader Nick Watson on what to expect for the next 3 days and nights. He told us that we will be continually tested, and from there, he and the other VetEx leaders would determine the best fit for the final team to represent the organization take on Denali in 2019. We received team gear, packed up, rigged our sleds and begun on the 5 or so mile snowshoe to the base of Slide Lake. By the time we arrived, we were exhausted but still had to rally to set up camp for the night. We set up camp, made a quick Mountainhouse Meal and went straight to bed.
The next morning we made breakfast and got a pleasant tutorial on how to use a wag bag (i.e. how to properly shit in the woods) then broke down camp. We packed up our gear completely, attached our sleds to our packs and roped up as teams. This was our first attempt at snowshoeing roped up with all our gear. We circled the lake a few times and then settled on a new spot to set up camp. This would be our first time assembling camp with no instruction. We worked as two teams, one setting up each Hilleberg tent and the other digging out our kitchen tent. Once complete, we sat and ate dinner while our Team Leader, Candice Creecy explained what to expect on Denali. She explained the different types of cold weather injuries, how to spot them, how to treat them and what to do in case of a medical emergency. As we settled in for the night it began to snow, which made for a great night's rest because we were nice and warm equipped with Thermarest sleeping pads and bags.
We woke up to about a foot of fresh powder, ate breakfast, and roped up excited for the possibility of summiting Homestake. The winds were high and we were warned by our leaders that summiting may not have been in the cards that day. Eager to make the attempt, we marched on. Once out of the shelter of tree line we were quickly struck by the reality of constant 20 mph winds with gusts 30-50 mph. The team never wavered and we triumphantly reached the summit. Once off the peak, we ate lunch and listened again to the realities of what we would face in Alaska. We made it back to camp and practiced belaying as a team on fixed ropes.
Monday morning the team was jolted awake by jarring winds. Our Hilleberg tents shook violently but held strong. Our start time back to the trailhead had to be pushed back due to the winds. Once finally packed up, the remaining team members headed roped up with sleds and packs for our final test of wills. We were warned that going downhill with sleds would be frustrating and boy was it. However, to a testament of our amazing team members, we made it to the trailhead egos unscathed. We unpacked and returned all of our sponsored gear. The long weekend was over, we all felt a sense of pride and relief. Being outside amongst fellow veterans is a joy that VetEx makes possible. Next challenge: Mount Baker. Bring it on!

This guide is intended for those who would like to get their ex back. Regardless of your situation, you can learn a lot from this program, before you achieve your ultimate goal. For many, they panic and in many ways, essentially harass their ex — this is the LAST thing you want to do.
The program is eye-opening in the sense that there is a better way. Regardless of your situation, this get ex back guide will help you break that barrier so that you can reconnect. In fact, whether you win your ex back or not, this program is a great support system and helps you better understand your own self-worth.
About The Ex Factor Guide
If you are aiming to win your ex back, this program will help you do just that. If you follow the steps throughout, you will create an opportunity for love to blossom once again. Reflect on who you are, as well as what being a 'good partner' means. In many ways, the guide takes you on a personal journey, allowing you to connect with yourself, as well as your ex.
Learn about the effectiveness of the 'No contact' rule — leaving your ex be for at least a month. Although this may be challenging, it will significantly increase your chances of winning them back. You have to play it cool and even play the field — all which all outlined throughout this program.
About the author: Brad Browning appears to have been hurt in the past, and he was sick of seeing people suffering from a broken heart. Working as both a relationship coach and expert, he knows what it takes to help those in need. He specifically wants to help those who lost someone they love, helping them see their own worth before winning them back.
What's Included within The Ex Factor Guide?
This informative guide is broken down into various chapters, showcasing the steps you need to take in order to succeed. Although not an inclusive list, here is what you can expect from this program:
- In chapter 1, you will see how Brad is here for you, as well as the real reason why you're alone. He helps you realize that he too was once heartbroken and grieving, but today, he's happy and well. He provides the level of support you need during this emotional time.
- By chapter 2, you will learn about all of the attractive characteristics of a partner. Ask yourself, are you a leader? Do you do what you want, despite what others may think? Do you take care of yourself in terms of your appearance? All of these factors and more are discussed throughout this enlightening chapter.
- In comparison, chapter 3 highlights a list of unattractive characteristics. This is meant to provide some guidance in terms of your own situation — if you can relate to some of these characteristics, this may be a great time for self-reflection. No one is perfect, including your ex, so in order to get their attention, you can work on some of these traits, showcasing positive change.
- Both chapters 4 and 5 are critical and need your special attention. Basically, the last thing you want to do is panic and pressure your ex. The BEST thing you can do is follow the 'no contact' rule. This means that for a full month, you do not reach out to your ex. Practical suggestions are offered in order to use your time wisely, working on you and your needs. Whether you begin exercising or pick up a new hobby, this is your time — enjoy it!
- Even you don't want to, chapter 6 offers the benefits associated with dating other people. This is especially true if you have mutual friends or still have each other on social media. Let your ex know that you're playing the field — even if you desperately want them back. You'll also learn what you should do if your ex begins dating someone. This ties into chapter 7 — what if your ex contacts you? As well as chapter 8, what if your ex doesn't contact you at all?
- Chapter 9 you will love, because it involves going on a date with your ex. By this stage, you will have mastered what it is you should and shouldn't do in terms of achieving your goal. From body language to tone of voice, everything is covered in detail. Chapter 10 is the best case scenario, providing tips on how to seduce your ex all over again.
Benefits of The Ex Factor Guide
Let's face it — nobody wants to be alone or missing their ex. If this is you, then you can benefit from this program. Many of us do not know what to do when we split up with our partners — we panic, and in turn, ruin our chances of ever winning them back.
The program takes a unique approach, helping you every step of the way. You no longer need to wonder 'what if' — because as long as you follow the advice throughout, you will know that you did everything in your power to reconcile your relationship. What's even better, is that you will likely come out of this program a better person, more confident in your own skin.
Just some of the way which you'll benefit include, but are certainly not limited to:
- Brad's sincere support — the author of this program truly wants to help you bridge the gap between you and your ex so that you can find peace and happiness. Although he was hurt in the past, today, he has a clear, motivated mind. He wants to help others achieve their relationship goals, as they fight to win their ex back.
- A guide that is easy-to-follow — broken down into informative chapters, you can skip ahead to areas of interest, but be sure to read the program in its entirety. Well-written and simple to understand, anyone can implement the advice into their life, ensuring the results they seek.
- No obligation or risk — with the 60-day money back guarantee, there's no risk.

Pics?Hey folks. Read your labels. I tried a new kind of bug repellent (some sort of OFF branded product that is now in the garbage can). Later, I was doing some playing and at one point noticed the finish on my SG was sticky where I had been resting my arm. I believe something in the bug spray has softened the finish and now parts of it are like they are covered with an adhesive. I've tried Dawn, rubbing alcohol, and naphtha with little to no effect. I'm afraid to try anything else because I don't want to damage the finish further.
Now that I look at the label, it does say to avoid using it around furniture finishes so I'm not going to have any recourse with the company.
Fortunately, there's a great luthier/refinish shop near by (Lay's Guitar). I'm taking it to them shortly. I'm hoping it can be buffed out, but I'm afraid a refinish is in order.
I wouldn't have thought about bug spray being a problem but now I'm going to have to read the labels of anything that might remotely come into contact with my instruments and suggest you all do the same.
For reference, it's a 2013 Standard. I assume it's laquer, but I suppose it could be a poly finish.

He stood in the first flush of the morning savoring a moment of calm contemplation.
All that could be heard was the gentle swishing sound of the water lapping softly at the bank of the lake. The damp smell of the marshy wetlands permeated the air as he watched birds skim over the surface of the lake.
After a lifetime of work tucked in cloistered rooms he felt a sense of peace as never before. Popping out hesitantly from the water was the central leg of the swivel armchair and its ergonomic backrest.
The boss fortunately was in deeper waters.

I am a terrible blog mother. I had forgotten my baby's (read: blog's) birthday until ten minutes ago, and now I am sat here rush-writing this post.
Hannah, International is three years old today! That's three years of writing, three years of travelling, three years of growing, and three lovely years of interacting with people in and out of the blogging world. I started Hannah, International to record my year abroad during university, my journey studying foreign languages, and to generally document my life through my experience of foreign cultures. Since then, my blog has expanded to other topics such as fashion and beauty (only a few posts, mind you), restaurant reviews, and life musings.
When I first started, I used Hannah, International more like a diary. I would greet my readers (what few readers I had – hi, friends and family!) and document things in a "I did this and then I did this" kind of way. Now, I aim to inform and entertain as well as letting people know what I get up to and what I'm thinking about. I broach topics that I didn't even consider touching on three years ago, and I spit out my thoughts in the form of words in a post to help me process certain issues.
Since the 11th of November 2013, I have published 156 posts (including this one and the one scheduled to go up later this afternoon) – that's an average of one post a week for three years! Across my social media accounts, I have almost 2000 followers, and my blog has had almost 12,000 hits. My most viewed post has been On My Guard as a Young Woman in Paris, my most consistently popular post is France vs Spain: The 5 Biggest Differences I Have Noticed (So Far!), and my first ever post was Introduction. I have written about such a variety of topics, but some of the posts I'm most proud of are Why I Can't Eat Spanish Biscuits Any More and I'm Committing Fraud and Somehow Getting Away With It, as well as my South Korea Second-Timer and Budapest is the Buda-Best travel series.
I feel like I have gone from strength to strength in all aspects of my blog. My photography is much better, my content is more interesting, my writing style is much more captivating (I hope!), and my layout looks sooooo much better, if I may say so myself! I think, also, that now my personality and humour shines through a lot more, something that I am particularly happy about.
I never set out to gain followers and earn money or get freebies. I simply wanted to record my journey through university and life, and share it with whoever wanted to read about it. I have made some good friends through this blogging lark, and have become a person who is more informed, more active, and more interested in so many issues and other topics that are talked about today.
To finish off this rambling post, I want to say a humungous THANK YOU to everyone who reads Hannah, International. I enjoy what I write, I hope you enjoy what I write, and I hope you continue to enjoy what I write about in the future. I have an exciting year ahead, and lots of plans for the blog, so, please, stick with me and enjoy the ride!

The Story So Far...
The Movie
Back when I reviewed the '80s teen classic License to Drive, I shared the story of my last day at college, when myself and the inimitable Matthew J. McCue, decided to recapture our youth and rent the Corey-filled License and the eminently-quotable, but criminally under-appreciated The Monster Squad (on VHS!). As the last thing I experienced before entering "the real world," these films hold a special place in my heart.
But sentimentality will only go so far when it comes to enjoying an old film or TV show (a fact cruelly learned in reviewing the He-Man cartoons.) Fortunately for The Monster Squad, there's much more than nostalgia going for it, as the story of a band of horror film fans battling the classic movie monsters is an fun (and often funny) piece of filmmaking that's also solid '80s nostalgia and an exciting action flick.
Blending a couple of genres, including adventure, comedy and horror, the film is a great example of one of my favorite story concepts: the team-up. Bring together a disparate group of people with a common goal or enemy and see if they can overcome their differences to use their unique talents to overcome the odds. Whether it's Revenge of the Nerds, The Goonies or Ocean's 11, the results tend to be, at the least, interesting, and usually pretty damn good (perhaps because you have to be a good writer to juggle multiple characters.)
Such is the case here, as young Sean (Andre Gower) and his friends, a bunch of grade-school fright fans, discover that Dracula, aided by Wolfman, the Mummy, Frankenstein's Monster and Gillman (similar to the Creature from the Black Lagoon,) has arrived in town, looking to take over the world by obtaining an amulet that would give him ultimate power. Since the kids, including the unfortunately-nicknamed Fat Kid and Fonzie-lite Rudy, can't get anyone to take their warnings seriously, they have to go it alone, finding their only ally in the neighborhood's scary German guy. That's pretty much the whole story, but it's more than enough to fill out the quick-moving 82 minutes.
Sure, the plot's a bit silly at points, driven by some insane coincidences, but the film has a definite sense of fun and action, and it never takes itself too seriously, balancing the menace of the monsters and the enthusiasm of the children, and even showing some self-awareness (as characters comment on things that don't make much sense.) On the other hand, it shows respect for the concepts at the film's core, including the mythology of the monsters, and even shows a bit of depth in spots. A somewhat subtle subplot about Sean's parents' marital trouble is rather unique for a film like this, while I'll never forget when I first realized what Scary German Guy's line about knowing monsters really meant. To this day it's amazing that this little tid-bit is so casually thrown into a movie like this.
While the movie looks great, thanks to a solid filmmaking effort from director Fred Dekker and company, it's the writing, from Dekker and Lethal Weapon scribe Shane Black, and the acting by a truly great cast of child actors that sells it, led by Gower, who is everything you'd want from the leader of the Monster Squad. For a perfect example of how good these kids are, check out Patrick (Robby Kiger) when things start to heat up. It's rare to see a child actor play panicked so well. Even Ashley Bank, who plays Sean's little sister Phoebe, is good, avoiding the cutesy crap that could have negatively affected the film (and intensely raising the stakes in the finale.) The writing actually picks up speed as the plot advances, and ends up delivering some of the most bad-ass one-liner moments in action comedy history, as each of the Squad's members gets their moment in the sun.
One of the things that struck me most in revisiting the film is how it would be impossible to make today, as it's way more adult than would be allowed in a movie ostensibly aimed at kids. The language used by the children and the behavior of the kids, including some naughtiness involving Patrick's teenage sister, would raise more than a few eyebrows. But because Fat Kid gets tortured at school, being called a "faggot," and Sean curses in front of his mom and takes it back, the movie has a sense of reality to it that helps counteract the dated clothing and brand logos that otherwise date the film. Though you'd have to think tqoce if you'd want a young kid experiencing the scares or language here, anybody can sit down with The Monster Squad and it will feel like a fresh, fun time.
The Blu-Ray
The Quality
Sitting down to watch this pressing, it felt like something was missing aurally. Hitting the info button on my remote confirmed it, as this disc sports only a DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 (not the full 5.1 track on the Lionsgate set.) Admittedly, this is more authentic in terms of the original presentation, but it just feels empty for a film that has a lot going on (the climactic fight with the monsters comes off flat now.) The rest of the elements are clean and clear, with no distortion, as the dialogue enjoys quality separation in a center-balanced mix.
The Extras
The Bottom Line


text:
The only reason I made these in the first place was that the recipe was asking for two very-very ripe bananas and I had just that – two bananas bought about two weeks ago which I should have taken a picture of, but I did not want to scare anyone :).
I have altered the recipe a bit by adding some walnuts which introduced some nutricious crunch into these guys. Baking these muffins works as the best aromatizer you can get for your appartment, the cinnamon and banana aroma can still be felt two days after baking. Please let me know if you'd like the recipe.
The more I cook with Veganomicon – the more I fall in love with vegan cooking and really stop being so skeptical about all the weird ingredients in this cookbook.

Engineering Research
Historian of science and technology, Rosalyn Williams, has asserted that engineering is undergoing a transformative evolution as a profession. Engineering research is a key element of this transformative evolution.
Research in the Gallogly College of Engineering is focused on both basic and applied topics of societal significance: bioengineering, energy, engineering education, infrastructure, nanotechnology, and weather technology. Compatible with the regional and national research focus on biofuels, Gallogly College researchers are developing technologies for improved and highly efficient processes for production of biomass-derived liquid fuels.
In recent years, cross-disciplinary research has been a key factor in the growth of our research programs and expenditures. The college leads five cross-disciplinary research institutes and centers that bring together faculty, students, and other professional participants from different disciplines: Center for Engineering Optimization (CEO), Dynamic Structures Sensing and Control (DySSC) Center, Institute for Applied Surfactant Research (IASR), Institute for Oklahoma Technology Applications (IOTA), and Oklahoma Bioengineering Center (OBC). Also, the CoE faculty provides leadership in the Center for the Study of Human Operator Performance (CSHOP).
The Institute for Oklahoma Technology Applications (IOTA) serves as an umbrella institute for the following centers: CASI - Center for Aerospace Systems/Support Infrastructure; CELDi - Center for Engineering Logistics and Distribution; CREW - Center for Restoration of Ecosystems and Watersheds; and OTC - Oklahoma Transportation Center.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Aug. 25, 2015) – With the return of ETSU football just days away, the ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics has released a special "Top 10 Things to Know" list to help fans prepare and plan for a fun-filled game day experience.
"We thought this would be a great way to get information out to the public regarding game days and what they can expect from their experience at Kermit Tipton Stadium – whether that be during pregame, in-game or post-game," said ETSU Senior Associate Athletic Director/COO Scott Carter.
The countdown will begin today and run through next Thursday, Sept. 3, the day the Buccaneers will kick off the start of a new football program at home against Kennesaw State. Fans interested in more detailed and complete game day information are encouraged to visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the football home page where they will find the ETSU Game Day Central link.
Here is the Top 10 "Things to Know" list:
10. There will be a postgame fireworks display at Kermit Tipton Stadium on Sept. 3, which will begin at the conclusion of the game (approximately between 10:30 and 11 p.m.).
9. Traditions are an important part of a memorable Game Day. Fans are encouraged to be part of the game day experience by learning new cheers, memorizing the words to the ETSU fight song, and making their way to lineup for the Buc Walk, which will occur 1 hour and 35 minutes prior to kick off during every home game.
8. Upon entering Kermit Tipton Stadium, fans may be approached by ETSU athletic department staff and asked to participate in a brief survey, which will be completed on a touchpad tablet. We appreciate fans' willingness to participate in this process.
7. The ticket Will Call tent will be located on the south end of Kermit Tipton Stadium at the gates nearest the Food City Zone pregame tailgate area.
6. Fans familiar with the traditional traffic patterns for events at Freedom Hall Civic Center can expect much the same experience during ETSU football game days. Take Roan Street until you turn onto Liberty Bell Boulevard. All public parking areas will be accessible from Liberty Bell Blvd. and Pactolas Road.
5. Fans are encouraged to enjoy pregame tailgating in the parking areas around Kermit Tipton Stadium. Simple guidelines can be found at ETSUBucs.com, but can be summed up by the "Golden Rule" of simply being courteous and a good neighbor to other fans in the parking area.
4. The Food City Zone will open three hours prior to kickoff and will provide a great place to make pregame memories. Located just south of Kermit Tipton Stadium, the Food City Zone will provide games, fellowship, food tasting, and other family fun prior to kickoff.
3. Concessions stands will be available for fans throughout Kermit Tipton Stadium, along with several other local food vendors who will be providing multiple selections for any hungry Buccaneer fan. Patrons should be prepared to pay with cash at concession stands.
2. Download the ETSU Game Time App via the Apple and Android app stores, which will be available in the coming days. The ETSU Game Time App has been designed to help any Buccaneer fan make the most of their game day experience, with information regarding tickets, tailgating, parking, traditions, restaurants, hotels, and much more.
1. The final tip for ETSU game days? Have fun, make memories, cheer for the blue and gold, and be sure to invite your friends to the next game. Go Bucs!

You may have noticed over the last few months a number of videos have been popping up on YouTube offering a high-quality alternative. Unfortunately, high-quality doesn't mean HD. That is, until now.
An engineer at YouTube has let slip that by adding just a little bit of code to the end of a video's URL can up the quality of the video to 720p.
While it doesn't work on all videos – it all depends on how good the source material is – it does make a huge difference in the crispness of the footage.
Code breaker
The code in question is &fmt=22. Add this to the end of the URL in your search bar and it will apparently stream the video in HD quality.
One of the examples given is an update to the YouTube hit 'Where The Hell Is Matt?'.
So far, YouTube's high-quality button only offers mp4 videos encoded using H.264 with stereo AAC sound at 480x360, so a 720p upgrade is welcomed.

Some fun facts from the Pixar 'Toy' box
Susan Wloszczyna, USA TODAY
1. Tinny, the one-man-band character from the Oscar-winning Pixar short Tin Toy, was supposed to be a star of 1995's Toy Story. But he was deemed too antiquated. A military action figure was suggested before filmmakers settled on a space toy.
2. Early on, new-fangled spaceman Buzz Lightyear was known as Lunar Larry. His first name pays tribute to Apollo astronaut Buzz Aldrin.
3. Old-fashioned cowpoke Woody began life as a ventriloquist dummy, but his hinged jaw was deemed too "creepy." John Lasseter, director of the first and second Toy Story films, instead turned him into a pull-string doll inspired by his own talking Casper the Friendly Ghost stuffed doll.
4. Woody's name honors Western actor Woody Strode.
5. In the original Toy Story, Woody's personality was abrasive and sarcastic. After a test screening went badly, he was reworked into the flawed yet dedicated leader that he is today.
6. Lasseter always wanted Tom Hanks to speak for Woody, explaining that the actor "has the ability to take emotions and make them appealing, even if the character, like the one in A League of Their Own, is down-and-out and despicable."
7.Billy Crystal was the first choice to be Buzz, but he turned the offer down — a decision he later regretted. He did play the one-eyed Mike Wazowski in 2001's Monsters, Inc.
8. Buzz started off as a Dudley Do-Right superhero given to grand gestures. But when Tim Allen joined the voice cast, the spaceman sounded more like his Tool Time guy from Home Improvement. "Tim came up with the idea of playing him like a blue-collar cop," says Lee Unkrich, director of Toy Story 3, who has worked on all the films.
9. Originally, Barbie was supposed to rescue Woody and Buzz from Sid, the vicious kid next door. But Mattel refused to grant permission for her use, only to let her appear in the sequels. Instead, Woody saved the day.
10. Toy Story was the first foray into animated voice work for Hanks and Allen.

Porch swing fire pit – the fire has been one of the elements that have most astonished man, being an element that provides light and warmth with its beautiful colors. From warm up the soul, to cook delicious meals, the fire has become part of our daily lives, being in fireplaces, stoves and campfires. The fires have become very popular constructions in all things with patios and gardens, being the meeting point on a cool night or just being the perfect spot to cook chocolate marshmallows to share with family and friends. A swing can be a great way to enjoy the warmer months and put a living space on the front of your home. Installing takes just a few hours and a little know how.
The first step to install porch swing fire pit is to determine the future position. There must be enough space between the back of the swing and the edge of the house, or make sure that swing does not come into contact with either when used. An easy way to measure this is to tie a rope to the top of a plastic chair, keep it in the air so that the chair seat is on the sitting level. Then push the chair back to the point that someone is sitting on it to slide off. If something matters before this point then it must be moved further. Make a pencil mark on the roof of the veranda after finding the perfect distance. If you mount your swing parallel to the house go to the next step. If you mount your swing parallel to the front of the house, proceed to the next step. If you mount the perpendicular scanning the next two steps and then proceed to step four.
Place porch swing fire pit on the floor of the greenhouse in exact location it will eventually hang above. Using a string or rope, attach one end to the center of each handle in the swing and extend them vertically to the point directly above them in the ceiling. Place a mark on each spot using a pen. If you have access to the area between the roof and the roof above continue, if not skip to step three. Take measurements of the two pencil marks based on distance from the house and the end of the ceiling. Get access to the wind above and make markings pencil at corresponding measurements.

Find Out Who is Worried About Cat Diseases and Why You Should Pay Attention
The Ultimate Cat Diseases Trick
In case you have one cat which has been infected, it's far better keep him away from different felines for some time. Cats will also shed their appetite, slim down, and appear lethargic. It is helpful to offer you cat with some cozy bedding.
There are several more things you should know to correctly care for your cat. First, make sure he or she is getting plenty of fluids. To see if he or she is really suffering from this condition, the vet will have to rule out other possible causes of the hair loss first. If he or she appears to be extremely distressed in the final stages of pregnancy, contact your vet immediately.
Based on the bond you've got with your cat, she might wish to be near you. Cats are permitted to lick your face. If your cat isn't acting like its regular self, take it to the vet immediately. You might realize that your pregnant cat gets a whole lot more affectionate towards you.
Even without chemotherapy therapy, the disease itself can result in lethargy. It is quite simple to avoid this fatal disease. Kidney disease is among the most usual.
In regards to pets, all of them have their very own organic instincts. Skin-fungus nearly all type of pets can acquire significant skin-diseases like rash or fungus. Being a real cat owner, you have to make certain you give your pet the very best cat food you are able to. Since our pets are exposed to several environmental hazards which could compromise the immune system, obtaining the capability to guarantee good immune function is very important. Your pet isn't able to let you know when something is wrong so it's your choice to see the signs and symptoms. Thus, one ought to be extra careful when dealing with kittens because they have an inclination to find this disease frequently. Kittens with the disease will probably have to be offered with supportive care.
Cats don't offer a darn." They groom themselves and as a result manage to swallow some of their hair. They can live for quite a few years without showing any symptoms of illness at all. It's possible tonot but your cat a hearing aid, but you are able to do a few easy things to earn life easier for the two of you. Cats are a rather significant part the family. To discover the suitable answer, your cat should find a vet to be tested. You might need to get started feeding your cat a different kind of food.
Cats are extremely predictable animals. Keeping your cat indoors is another effortless way to guard your cat. A sick cat isn't something anyone would like to have.
Cats are far more difficult to read. At this stage of feline rabies, they can start to have seizures and may die. A wholesome cat is one which runs around, purrs and plays while keeping a healthful and safe environment to stop injury.
There are a number of explanations for why cats can experience difficulties with hair loss. Some cats also become secondary bacterial infections that could prolong the disease. They need to wear supportive dressings until they improve. They think the litter box is causing the pain. Unless, obviously, you choose to remove the cat eventually (which isn't generally the case for many cat lovers). As an overall rule cats don't need a justification to vomit and a lot of the time it isn't anything to be concerned about.
Cats can result in damage and hurt people. They do not normally cough or sneeze so if you notice this, look for other signs of illness. They are similar to humans when it comes to anxious behavior. They start losing weight. Your cat could have an upper respiratory illness that needs hospitalization. For this reason, it can readily be transmitted to your cat if he's bitten through an infected cat. Unless your female cat was spayed, one particular day you are likely likely to find that she's pregnant.
Cats can develop assorted types of dermatitis. Your cat should return each calendar year, however, for the FVRCPC vaccine. Cats can be picky, but if you don't have changed their food, they don't have a reason to suddenly choose to stop eating. If you prefer to have a really good healthful cat for a very long time, treat it well.

We were livng in Wyandra, 100 km south of Charleville (about 1 000km west of Brisbane) in 1993 and I was transferred out to Birdsville in far far SW Queensland. Our previous dog Max, a Smithfield cattle dog, had met an untimely end and we were offered the choice of our neighbours silky terrier pups. I went next door and chose Minnie and she was the most fantastic dog one could ever have.
Min was very loyal and lots of fun. Barry was in and out of a wheelchair for the five years following when we were given Minnie and Minnie stayed by his side all the time. Considering that we were living in the Outback where social services are non-existent, Min looked after Barry during the long hours when I would be at school.
Min loved sitting on my quilts when I was trying to sew them and the first two quilts that I made, both log cabins, were claimed by her. The photo above shows Minnie laying in a basket of quilting fabric waiting to be folded.
The photo above shows Minnie laying on some rows of a row by row that I was working on and hopefully I shall finish that UFO in the next couple of months!
Here's another photo of Minnie, looking very stressed out - not! And yes, that is more quilt fabric that she is laying on, with a dresden plate quilt in the background.
Okay, here is yet another photo of Minnie laying on a teddy bear quilt made for a friend's daughter:
Minnie died of end stage kidney disease, poor little thing. She was one of those dogs with a huge personality and everyone who met her just loved her. I could not do a blog about quilting without including Min, hence the name of the blog. I originally was going to call the blog Killerdog Quilts because an old Aboriginal bloke out in Birdsville nicknamed Minnie Killerdog but someone said to me that that didn't sound like a good name for a quilt design company (which is what I hope to eventually start up), hence the name of my blog now. Old Albert called Minnie Killerdog because she used to bark ferociously at him when he walked past the schoolhouse (where we were living in Birdsville on his way to the pub). Albert's thongs/flip flops used to make a loud noise when he walked past our house so hence Min would bark at him. As she was only small (about 5kg and not even a foot high) she could only bite you up to your ankles, so the name was a bit of a joke. RIP my little hund (German for dog), Killerdog, mutt, four-legged human ... we called her all sorts of names, most of which she answered to!

Council tax payers in the capital will be forced to pay more than expected if the cost of staging the London Olympics overruns, the culture secretary, Tessa Jowell, has admitted.
Giving evidence to the Commons culture, media and sports committee on the 2012 games yesterday, Ms Jowell refused to put a cap on the amount London's council tax payers will have to pay for any Olympic overspend.
From next April, Londoners will pay an extra £20 council tax on band D properties for six years from 2006, with the option to extend it for two years.
Ms Jowell has already conceded that the payback period by council tax payers may be as long as 12 years in order to raise the £625m needed from them towards the cost of the games. Most of the estimated total bill of £2.235bn is due to come from the national lottery.
Her comments yesterday, as reported in the Daily Mail, suggested council tax payers could be paying off some of the cost of the games for many more years beyond the cut off point.
Ms Jowell told the scrutiny committee that though the Olympic budget had been planned with extreme "rigour", council tax payers were set to pick up part of the tab if costs soared.
"What I cannot say is that there will be any guarantee there will be a cap," she told the panel of MPs. "What I can say is that there is a daily vigilance on monitoring the costs and taking all reasonable steps available to contain those costs to the figures submitted in the candidate file."
Ms Jowell's view clashes with repeated assurances given by the London mayor, Ken Livingstone, that council tax payers will not be stung for extra cash if costs spiral out of control.
Mr Livingstone insisted that Ms Jowell's comments were "nothing new".
"I have made it quite clear that I do not think Londoners should have to pay more in council tax than the amount already agreed," he said. "The truth is the funding package I negotiated with the government is a first class deal and Londoners can rely on me to protect their interests in any future debates on the Olympics."
But London assembly members were not convinced. Dee Doocey, the assembly's Liberal Democrat Olympics spokeswoman, said Ms Jowell's comments were "deeply concerning".
"Just months after the capital won the chance to host the Olympics in 2012, ministers are already warning Londoners that they could be paying substantially more than they promised," she said.
"Why are ministers now sounding so pessimistic about whether the games will be delivered on time and on budget? What do ministers know that we don't? Londoners deserve an answer since they are set to bear a lot of the costs."

Buying Nicotine E-Cigarettes in Australia
If you live in Australia, you may think it is illegal to buy electronic nicotine cigarettes in your country.
Good news! E-cigarettes are legal to purchase in Australia as long as you order:
- through international post
- supply of 3-months worth or less (<$1000 USD)
- for personal use
Under these guidelines there is no import prohibition from customs and no customs fees.
Australian law states it is illegal to sell, advertise, and import for resale products that contain nicotine, so e-cig companies in the country can only sell zero-nicotine products.

Wherein I Trip in a Gopher Hole: Montana Diary.2, Illustrated
September 2, 2012 6 Comments
If you missed Day 1's installment, it's here. Of course I've come to Project Vote Smart to work, but today's Sunday, a day off, and when I planned to come this week, I didn't even think about the fact that there'd be no working tomorrow–Labor Day–either. I'm assured they'll have plenty for me to do during the four work days I'll be here, and in the meantime I have the chance to explore my surroundings and work on the music I need to learn for the concert I'll be doing in Bozeman a week from today.
From what I gather (and there's a lot I still don't know), most of the staff, and all the interns who come for ten-weeks stints, are in their twenties. Then there are the member-volunteers who normally come for two weeks. The ones I've met so far seem to be retirement-age; I think I'm the "baby" among them. The ranch is surrounded by mountains. Around me are lakes, trees, birds with calls I've never heard before and whose markings I've never seen, fields, a stream with a consistent trebly music punctuated by a hand-drum sound, lots of sky, all kinds of insects (three of which have already wound up in my bathroom, and as some of you may know, I'm not so good with insects). The wind and sun are playing a game, a variation on the one in the old fable: one makes you put your jacket on, the other makes you take it off, and back and forth, back and forth; must be great fun for them.
This morning I took a walk with Cathy, mentioned in yesterday's post; she's been here once before, so she sort of knows here way around the property. We got only slightly lost, which was fine, because you don't really get lost, and everywhere you go there's plenty to see and hear.

Mahatma Gandhi who is fondly called as the father of Nation was believed to be loved by almost all which is only the half side of story and sort of misleading. His thoughts were very different and his principles of satya and ahimsa did not please many. Same was the case with Nathuram Godse, He was not able to digest the reason of partition and was furious at the role of Mahatma Gandhi and the congress party. He believed that they could have acted smartly to tackle all the riots post partition. After assassination of Gandhi Nathuram Godse was a name on everyone's mouth.
He became an overnight villain in front of the Indians, but not every Indian had similar thoughts. He had a fair share of his own supporters. Not everyone agreed with the Gandhian way of dealing with things. In recent turn of events this is evidently visible as we see setting up of temple of Nathuram Godse in Gwalior. Hindu Mahasabha has installed an idol of Nathuram Godse in their office.
Organizations like UPNNS(Uttar Pradesh Nav Nirman Sena) have announced that they won't let anyone build any such temple but it remains to be seen if they can really manage. Even Congress opposed Hindu Mahasabha and asked for a strict action to be taken against Hindu Mahasabha. As an Indian citizen there is nothing wrong in expressing the feelings as long as it is not bringing any kind of harm to nation or national integrity but at the end of the day actions must be both ethically correct and should not do any loss to national honor.

Cumulus Networks Recognized as a Visionary in Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Center Networking
Positioned as 'Visionary' for the first time and Open Networking is a key buying criteria for majority of enterprises
With their open networking platform Cumulus Linux, Cumulus Networks helps organizations of all sizes adopt web-scale technologies to reach the speed and agility of web-scale giants. According to 2016 Gartner research, by 2020, 40% of global enterprise CIOs will have initiated a corporate web-scale IT initiative, which is a significant increase from today's fewer than 5%.[1]
Gartner defines a Visionary company as having demonstrated an ability to increase the features in its offering to provide a unique and differentiated approach to the market. A Visionary has innovated in one or more of the key areas of data center infrastructure, such as management (including virtualization), security (including policy enforcement), SDN and operational efficiency, as well as cost reductions.[2]
"We believe our position in the Visionaries quadrant this year, our first-ever placement in the Gartner Magic Quadrant, and market momentum for an open, disaggregated solution is validation of our founding belief that companies need to embrace web-scale architectures," said Josh Leslie, CEO of Cumulus Networks. "While we now have more than 750 customers running Cumulus Linux, our work has only just begun - we're going to continue creating new, innovative solutions like NetQ that build upon our foundation, Cumulus Linux, to give more businesses the tools they need to design, build and operate their infrastructure the web-scale networking way."
"There is a growing willingness to move away from proprietary solutions. Our end-user survey (n = 83) indicated that 42% of clients consider open standards and multivendor interoperability support a mandatory requirement, 34% consider it very important, and 20% consider it somewhat important, so openness is a relevant buying criterion for 96% of the end users... Disaggregation of hardware and software can be seen as a first step toward more vendor independence. Interest and adoption of white-/brite-box switching has increased significantly within hyperscale data centers over the past several quarters, and we expect it to reach 22% of the total data center Ethernet switch market by 2020… As a consequence, we have seen enterprise adoption of brite box (the most successful delivery model in this market segment) grow, and we estimate about 1,000 paying enterprise customers as of March 2017. ." Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Data Center Networking, 2017
This Gartner recognition comes amidst rapid momentum for Cumulus Networks over the past year. The company saw more than 200%+ bookings growth fueled by high profile customer wins, including more than one-third of the Fortune 50. Cumulus Networks has achieved several milestones such as:
? Expanded the product portfolio: Through technical innovations like NetQ, the first product offering outside of the core OS, Cumulus Networks is helping operators proactively manage network infrastructure and bring web-scale efficiencies to network operations, making NetDevOps a reality.
? Welcomed Free Range Routing project to The Linux Foundation: Helped introduce Free Range Routing, a routing protocol stack designed to make engineers' lives easier and help bring reliability and economics of web-scale to organizations of all sizes.
? Supported the Open19 initiative: The company announced support for Open19, an initiative to develop a new standard for data center infrastructure, making it easier for companies of all sizes to make the transition to web-scale.
? Introduced Cumulus Express: Cumulus Express streamlines and simplifies the first step in the process for organizations looking to adopt web-scale principles.
? Demonstrated support for modular platforms with Facebook Backpack: Announced Facebook's latest open hardware platform, Backpack, runs Cumulus Linux network OS to unlock web-scale networking for enterprises and make it simple for data center operators to take advantage of the first open ecosystem chassis.
More than 750 high-profile customer wins: New customers include NASA, Verizon, Athena Health,
and Outbrain. Cumulus Networks now has over 750 customers, including 32% of the
Fortune 50.
"Cumulus Networks had the foresight to know that the world was ready for an open network OS, unlike other well known competitors who are still struggling to catch up. The level of integration with third party systems is phenomenal because it's just Linux. Follow the Rocket Turtle, take the red pill." Joshua Brown, Healthcare Realty Trust Inc.

Louisiana has much to offer retirees who are looking to relocate -- a welcoming lively culture, diverse natural beauty, warm climate and a relatively low cost of living.
The baby-boomer generation is the largest and wealthiest retiring generation in U.S. history. There are approximately 75 million baby boomers in the United States and 12,000 turn 50 each day.
Annually, about 400,000 people move to another state upon retirement. Today�s retirees are doing so with more wealth than ever before. They are retiring younger, are more educated and have much to contribute to the communities they live in.
In 1997, individuals were commissioned from across Louisiana to form the Louisiana Retirement Task Force. This group was charged with determining the economic benefits and feasibility of a statewide retirement initiative. In 1999 the state Legislature created the LA Retirement Commission in the Office of the Lieutenant Governor. In May 2006 the commission adopted a strategic plan focusing on three priorities:
Education: Develop and deliver basic educational services and materials that create a greater awareness of the economic value of promoting Louisiana as a preferred retirement destination.
Marketing: Market Louisiana as retirement destination. Help local communities develop their own marketing efforts and connect the statewide marketing effort to the local plan.
Development Support: Provide technical support and facilitation to elected officials, governmental agencies, local economic-development organizations and local developers that help the state to improve our assets and standing as a preferred retirement destination.
This spring the Louisiana Retirement Commission officially launched Redefine Life, Retire Louisiana. Communities from around the state were invited to apply to be designated a certified Louisiana Retirement Community. The City of Thibodaux and the Thibodaux Chamber of Commerce partnered to complete the 10-page application. In addition to highlighting the many attributes that make Thibodaux amenable to retirees, many regional amenities were included in the application. Nineteen communities submitted applications for the designation and seven were selected as the inaugural group. Thibodaux is in that number.
Other communities selected include Covington, Crowley, Lake Charles, St. Landry Parish, Natchitoches Parish and Jefferson Parish.
The Lieutenant Governor�s Office will launch a marketing campaign generating a great deal of focus on the bayou region. They will provide technical assistance to the communities selected and a $10,000 grant for local marketing efforts.
Kathy B. Benoit is the President/CEO for theThibodaux Chamber of Commerce.
Retirees could be a boon for Thibodaux
Louisiana has much to offer retirees who are looking to relocate -- a welcoming lively culture, diverse natural beauty, warm climate and a relatively low cost of living.

I am so excited it is finally October. I pulled out a special present I made for my oldest son two weeks ago. I LOVE books and fortunately he has picked up on this, and may just LOVE them more then me! We pull out books for each holiday and decorate his room. Halloween may just be one day...but we appreciate the 30 days leading up to it as well...or even more.
This year, I created a special pillowcase for my three year old. It has a pumpkin "book pocket" on the front of it. The countdown to Halloween begins. Each evening, I sneak a new book in the pocket before bedtime. We have an amazing collection of Halloween books that I have either bought at garage sales, purchased through Scholastic, or books that have been passed on to us from my mom (the teacher). This new tradition is already a huge hit!
I thought of tons of adorable fu-fu girls pillows...but I have a sweet boy. I finally decided on a bat and his name.
I am not a seamstress by any means. I do everything the "cheater" way. I cut out an orange pumpkin from some cheery orange polka dot material. I then pinned it to a piece of wax paper and zig-zag stiched around the top edge to give it a finished look. Then I carefully tore away the waxed paper.
I stiched the pumpkin, leaving the pocket opening on top, on the Halloween pillowcase I created. There are plenty of great pillowcase tutorials out there if you need a pattern or direction so I spared these details.
I just sneak a book in each evening, and bedtime is a lot more exciting. Here is us on the bunk bed reading our first book.
These are the wonderful Halloween books on our list:

Of course we'll need Matt&Team to say: but the two videos blending with the smudge tool and switching to the flat knife looks like a bug. I can replicate it here exactly, instantly. I thought it might be your tool settings. But I can replicate it with most any of the flat knife and smudge tool settings with a little more or less manipulation of the paint. Terrific illustration. Let's see what the Ambient technical team has to say (?). EDIT. I suggest you post the anomaly videos in technical support, because I think you've found a bug. (?)
And the black-blend example is divine - an example of AR being rather impressive to get such a clean black. Nice job old boy.

Mercedes has officially unveiled the new GLC Coupe.
The crossover coupe trend shows no sign of slowing down as Mercedes has unveiled the new GLC Coupe.
Set to debut at the New York Auto Show tomorrow, the GLC Coupe follows in the footsteps of the GLE Coupe and adopts a sporty front fascia with a single bar grille and large air intakes. Bigger changes occur aft of the A-pillar as the crossover has a sporty roofline that is approximately 1.6-inches longer than that of the standard GLC. A closer inspection reveals slender LED taillights, a dual exhaust system, and a power liftgate with an integrated spoiler. Other highlights include a sporty rear diffuser and standard 19-inch alloy wheels.
The interior largely carries over but it comes nicely equipped with MB-Tex upholstery, a power driver's seat, and an infotainment system with a seven-inch display. Drivers will also find a glass sunroof and a standard rearview camera which should help to minimize blind spots when backing up.
A variety of options will be available including heated / ventilated front seats, an ambient interior lighting system, and an infotainment system with a larger 8.4-inch display. Customers can also order a Head-up display, an Air balance package, and an Interior Sport Package that adds a flat-bottom steering wheel, rubber studded pedals, and AMG-branded floor mats.
The entry-level GLC300 4Matic Coupe is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 241 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. The engine is connected to a nine-speed automatic transmission and a standard all-wheel-drive system.
Moving up to the GLC43 Coupe rewards buyers with a biturbo 3.0-liter V6 engine that develops 362 hp and 384 lb-ft of torque. It is paired to a nine-speed automatic transmission and a rear-based AMG Performance 4Matic all-wheel-drive system which enables the crossover to run from 0-60 mph in less than five seconds.
The GLC300 4MATIC Coupe and GLC43 Coupe will go on sale in the United States early next year.


text: WHEW! The past few days in Oklahoma have been quite unique for November. I think we missed out on Fall this year, which is über depressing, as it is my favorite season of all. We had a heat wave of a weekend, causing me to pull out my lightweight fabrics and match them with something fun – like florals! Hard to believe I have had this skirt now for three years, but watercolor-like painted fabric mixed with pockets is an unbeatable combination. What did you put on to beat the heat?!

Home delivery of fruits and vegetables as well as other groceries is a new concept to most.
Those of us who do our own groceries like the control of picking out our produce and making sure what we pay for is exactly what we want.
But if we could choose, wouldn't we rather spend the extra time?if any?with family and attend to more important matters, than spend the hour on a supermarket run?
This is where The Green Grocer can help you.
The Green Grocer is Manila's first home delivery service of organic produce, grass-fed and all natural meats, farm-direct dairy products, premium deli items, and other grocery necessities.
We deliver only the freshest harvest at your doorstep every Wednesday and Saturday, straight from the different farms we represent located in Tagaytay, Laguna, Batangas, Benguet, Negros and Bukidnon.
