Vinyl LP £20.99 WOODSIST043
Top Comp LP on Woodsist.
- Shipping cost: £3.35 ?
Woodsist are the up and coming label that remind me of the type of imprint I slavishly followed as a young man, in that they are American, have great quality control and a slew of good lop sided lo-medium fidelity bands. Woods have yet to strike a proper chord with me (surely only a matter of time) and their opening entry is lovely lo-fi pop, even better is Run DMT's 'Richard' a fantastic 4 track hiss and strum. White Fence an organ and drum machine treat, The Fresh and Only's win the race with a slice of fantastic 60's style psychedelic pop a la Zombies, 13th Floor Elevators -fab! Running a close second is The Mantles who somehow channel the energy and warped melodies of Love onto modern day vinyl. The Skygreen Leopards do a pretty loveable version of The Cure's 'Catch'. Alex Bleeker sounds less like Neil Young than he did on his recent '...and the freeks' album, instead a muffled Yo La Tengo or Yung Wu springs to mind. Side B has Moon Duo opening with superb minimal guitar and organ jam. City Center cover the Grateful Dead in a reverbed style. Cause Co-motion come across like a Tallulah Gosh fronted by man instead of woman, Art Museums again channel the sound of 1986 with scratchy melodic indie pop of the highest order. Nodzzz sound like Times New Viking covering the Beatles with guitar solo provided by the Feelies. Finally Ducktails calm everything down with some rustic back porch plucking.
This album is a success because its consistently of a very high quality. From this one listen I've heard about 5 bands I already want to investigate further. I'm currently investigating the reasons why the fantastic Real Estate aren't included but that's the only disappointment.

Marching on together - meeting Gary Barlow and Elton John
7:00am Thursday 2nd January 2014 in News
HIS love and talent for music has seen him share the stage with Gary Barlow and Elton John and revel at the sheer spectacle of the Olympic opening ceremony during his performance.
But for Craig Sherratt, of Norley Close, Whitecross, one of the most ‘surreal’ moments was drinking a cup of tea with Coldplay front man, Chris Martin.
The 42-year-old, who plays for the Company Performance Ensemble, is part of a marching band, which has been booked to perform on some of the UK’s biggest television shows and concerts.
He said: “I have been involved with marching bands all my life. They were looking for drummer to help with a song called Drummer Boy by Alesha Dixon and on her promotional tour and her video.
“Since then I’ve been able to spread my wings a bit more in the music business. There have been many moments that have been surreal.”
The talented drummer joined his first marching band when he was aged seven with the Warrington Corps of Drums.
“Warrington used to be the hub for marching bands,” remembers Craig, who still has a full time job in sales at a fire company. “But there are none in Warrington anymore.”
Over the years, Craig has become good friends with renowned creative director Kim Gavin and the two friends have worked together on a number of projects.
“He trusts me to get the job done. Often we are just given an idea and I have to work some of the stuff out.”
Craig is remaining tight-lipped about what the marching band has planned for the New Year but said they are some exciting things in the pipeline.
“Sometimes things can fall through at the last minute so I don’t tend to tell anyone about it,” said Craig.
Despite taking to the stage at Wembley Arena for the X Factor final and playing a part in the Olympic opening and closing ceremony, which took around 18 months of planning, Craig remains modest about his success.
He added: “It’s about being in the right place at the right time.”

She was twenty-five and he was seven
when she told him a secret
that wasn’t a secret at all.
‘You are a wizard, Tom Riddle.’
Nothingness carried her away before
his very eyes, inches at a time, dust
taken by a breeze.
She was twenty-five and he was
fourteen when she told him an answer
to the secret question he hid from
‘I can tell you about immortality, if
you just wait.’
Like smoke, she swirled into nothing
and was gone.
She was twenty-five and he was sixteen
when she asked if he had killed anyone.
‘Not yet,’ he said.
Her sad, amber gaze was the last to disappear.
She was twenty-five and he was twenty-one
when she appeared during office hours
and she would only stay for seven minutes
— he had counted the time before and
the time before that — seven and no more.
‘This is the Ministry of Magic,’ she said with surprise.
He nearly asked where she expected
him to be before he was alone again.
She was twenty-five, just like him,
when she saw him reading about
Horcruxes in his half-empty flat.
‘Tell me,’ he said from where
he watched her on the floor,
cross-legged and shirtless.
‘Tell me how to live forever.’
Pointing to the book he held as her own
fingers faded, she said, ‘Not like that.’
She was twenty-five and he was twenty-eight
when she found him at the New Year’s Eve Ball,
surreptitiously smoking cigarettes in the crisp night.
‘Not all of us have as much as time as you do,’
he whispered in her ear.
A shiver ran through her just as a laugh did
and then she was gone from the balcony of Malfoy Manor.
She was twenty-five and he was thirty-four,
numbers that weren’t divisible by
seven — but still added up that way —
when she straddled him in bed.
Between breaths and kisses, his heart
drumming from a curious panic and the
new, delicious vulnerability of his
naked body against hers, he asked,
‘How do I live forever?’
‘Oh, Tom,’ she said as something cool
and sharp slid between his ribs. Her
voice was nearly kind. ‘You don’t.’

For today’s holiday cake I bring you a Rum Cake. Rum cakes are a traditional holiday treat in the Caribbean. And yes, they have a decent amount of rum in them which normally burns off as you bake them so you don’t have to worry about a strong alcohol taste or getting a little tipsy from your dessert. Although, you can add more rum to the cake once it’s done and the cake will gladly soak it in. It’s completely up to you. One of my favorite types of rum cake is a Black Cake, it contains rum soaked fruit which help to give this cake it’s dark chocolate cake appearance. If you’re thinking it’s similar to the traditional fruit cake most people want to avoid during the holidays you are way off. It’s nothing like that. The cake I am sharing with you today has some rum soaked raisins in it, a grated apple and a nice cardamom glaze to top it off… it’s not your traditional rum cake, but delicious nonetheless.
While there was rum baked into the cake, once it was out of the oven I pierced the cake with a fork and drizzled it with a glaze consisting of more rum, confectioners’ sugar and cardamom and let it sit for twenty minutes. Per the directions after the twenty minutes I was supposed to invert the cake on a platter so it could cool completely. Unfortunately when I attempted to invert the cake it didn’t sit flat and almost broke in half because my cake didn’t end up with a flat bottom as you can see from the picture below. This was partly due to the fact that my cake baked a lot quicker than the time on the directions and I left it in the oven too long. The directions said 65 – 75 minutes and I set my oven for 60 minutes and it was probably done in about 45 – 50 minutes.
After letting the cake cool completely, I made a glaze using the remaining cardamom glaze and added whole milk and more powdered sugar and whisked it until it was smooth and then drizzled it over the cake and let it set.
And then finally enjoyed a slice and it was delicious. I normally skip adding glazes to my cakes but I am so happy I didn’t skip this one. The taste of cardamom really adds a nice layer of flavor to this cake. And in case you do need more rum, this cake is dense enough that you could pour more rum over it and it won’t fall apart.
Rum-Raisin Apple Bundt Cake
1 cup raisins
3/4 cup plus 6 tablespoons spiced rum, divided
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups flour, divided
1 medium Golden Delicious Apple, peeled and grated (1cup)
2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup dark brown sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
2 cups confectioners’ sugar, divided
1 tablespoon whole milk
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray a Bundt pan with baking spray (or grease and flour). Combine the raisins and 3/4 cup of the rum in a small bowl and microwave for a minute. Drain the raisins and reserve the rum.
Whisk the baking powder, salt and 3 1/2 cups of the flour in a medium bowl. In another bowl, toss together the drained raisins, grated apple and remaining 1/2 cup of flour.
Beat the butter and sugars in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract.
Add the flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the reserved rum, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Fold in the raisin mixture.
Spoon the batter in the prepared Bundt pan and bake until a cake tester inserted comes out clean, about 60 to 75 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk together the cardamom, 1 cup of confectioners’ sugar and the remaining 6 tablespoons on rum in a small bowl.
After removing the cake from the oven pierce the bottom all over with a form and drizzle 1/2 cup of the cardamom glaze over the cake. Let the cake stand for 20 minutes and then invert onto a plate and let cool completely.
Whisk milk, remaining confectioners’ sugar and cardamom glaze and then drizzle over the cooled cake.

French President Francois Hollande has postponed the delivery of the first Mistral-class helicopter carrier to Russia because of the situation in Ukraine, a French government statement said Tuesday.
“The President of the (French) Republic believes the current situation in eastern Ukraine does not allow the transfer of the first Mistral to Russia. He believes it is necessary to postpone the issue of allowing the transfer of the first Mistral to Russia until another [presidential] order is given,” the statement read.
Earlier on Tuesday, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius wrote on his Twitter account that the conditions for the delivery of the Mistral-class ships to Russia were not met.
Russia and France signed a $1.6 billion deal for two Mistral-class ships in June 2011. The vessels, capable of carrying 16 helicopters, four landing craft, 70 armored vehicles and 450 troops, are expected to join Russia’s Pacific Fleet.
The deal, however, has been at risk since the conflict in Ukraine started to escalate. The West, blaming Moscow for its alleged aggressive policy toward Ukraine has introduced several rounds of sanctions on Russia. In October, French President Francois Hollande threatened to suspend the deliveries of the ships to Russia.
The handover of the first ship, the Vladivostok, was scheduled for 14 November 2014 but did not take place. The second ship, the Sevastopol, is supposed to arrive in 2015.
Russia has condemned France’s failure to deliveron its contractual obligations, saying Paris would have to pay a large penalty if the deal was canceled.
Earlier in November, Russia's envoy to NATO Alexander Grushko said that Russia would not rule out legal action against France if it failed to deliver the ships.
According to a poll, conducted by French newspaper Le Figaro, about 60% of French citizens believe Paris should meet its obligation under the contract and deliver the helicopter carriers to Russia.
Moscow currently has no plans to file claims against France over Hollande's decision to put the Mistral warship deal on hold, Russian Deputy Defense Minister Yuri Borisov said Tuesday.
“No, we are not planning to file any [claims] at the moment. Everything is specified in the contract, and we will act under that contract, just like all civilized people do,” he said.

Space to Grow is an innovative urban renewal program aimed to transform Chicago’s outdated asphalt schoolyards into vibrant outdoor spaces that benefit students, communities, and the environment. Along with upgraded learning and fitness amenities, green infrastructure solutions to stormwater management help resolve neighborhood flooding.
Since its inception in 2014, the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) has transformed over 20 schools. CPS has retained ECT to provide comprehensive landscape architecture and civil engineering services for six elementary schools, including Virgil I. “Gus” Grissom School, Theophilus Schmid School, Eugene Field Elementary School, Gunsaulus Scholastic Academy, Morton Elementary School, and the Orozco Academy Elementary School.
The new outdoor spaces and playgrounds include combinations of pervious sport courts, pervious rubber and artificial turf surfaces, and permeable parking lot paving. The landscape renovations include bioretention approaches and raised planters for use by the community to grow edibles. The green approaches to stormwater runoff address recurring neighborhood flooding, combine sewer overflows, and reduce the water reclamation facility load – all while providing students with new opportunities for outdoor recreation and physical fitness.
The Space to Grow Program is the result of a collaboration between CPS, Chicago Department of Water Management, the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District, Openlands, and the Healthy Schools Campaign.
In a follow up study titled, “Community Based Green Infrastructure Solutions,” ECT worked with Openlands to research the impact of the changes by monitoring and assessing how one elementary school’s outdoor spaces performed in rain events of varying sizes.
The study found that Grissom Elementary has a projected two-year, 100 percent reduction in runoff volume. It is also expected to hold and use all stormwater that falls on the site for about 99 percent of storms. The garden is expected to reduce total suspended solids (TSS) in runoff by 97 percent on an average annual basis, resulting in an annual TSS load of 970 pounds per acre per year. In total, this is a reduction of virtually 100 percent of all pollutants.
ECT is contracted to design two new schools that will be constructed in 2020.


Florida Solar’s net metering is under attack following a new bill filed with the state legislature, which would significantly impact Florida’s net metering program.
Thousands of jobs are at risk in an attack on a long-standing policy that 93% of Florida voters support.
Scroll down to read how you can take action and help.
What Are The SB 1024 & HB 741 Bills?
To explain the new bills, we first must go back and explain Florida’s net metering program.
Since 2008, the net metering program has allowed Florida solar customers to sell their excess solar energy back to the utility at the full retail electrical rate on their monthly bill.
Compensation is calculated on the avoided costs to the utility for the power it would have usually had to generate and output.
This new bill changes that.
The net metering program would no longer promote solar energy use. Instead, it would allow utility companies to penalize Florida solar users.
What’s the Argument?
The cost-shift argument is being used. The argument suggests that solar customers are not paying their ‘fair share of the upkeep of the grid’..
The belief is that if solar users aren’t paying for it, someone else has to.
Why Is This Florida Net Metering Bill Wrong?
Solar Customers Being Punished
The cost shift argument is effectively like a grocery store charging you more for vegetables because you grow your own vegetables in your own vegetable garden.
Anyone who takes steps to reduce their electricity bill could be accused of not paying a fair share of grid upkeep.
We all know that solar customers are already paying just to remain connected to the grid. Now they want to outprice them entirely.
Why should solar customers be punished for wanting to use and develop clean, renewable energy?
Studies Disprove the Claims
According to the Solar Energy Industries Association, sixteen state-level studies and a national study have already proved these cost-shift arguments are wrong.
The studies show that with net metering programs, states have an insignificant cost increase from solar and only is present until solar penetration meets 10% of a state’s energy generation.
The new Florida solar bill would also give utilities the chance to add base facilities charges, monthly minimum bills, electric grid access fees and other fixed charges.
We all know the utilities are feeling threatened by solar and this is an attack on the industry.
Solar Cost Shift Myth
This claim that net metering causes non-solar customers to pick up a greater share of the cost is a myth.
Even after accounting for rooftop solar energy generation, solar customers still purchase on average the same amount of electricity as non-solar customers.
Regulated utilities have around just 72,000 net-metered customers, compared to more than a massive 8.3 million total customers. Just 0.86% of regulated utility customers have rooftop solar. This idea that they are causing trouble is nonsense.
How The Bill Threatens Florida Solar:
The severity of this bill cannot be underestimated. By slowing and threatening the Florida solar industry by removing the benefits of net metering, jobs and businesses are at risk.
Thousands of Jobs at Risk
Net metering is the backbone of Florida solar and creates thousands of local jobs through solar growth.
Florida’s roof-top industry supports over 40,000 jobs, including a significant number of veterans.
The Economic Value of Florida’s Solar Industry
Florida’s growing solar industry is a vital part of the state’s economy.
With an $18.3 billion in economic value, Florida solar provides $3.2 billion in household income and generates $3.3 billion in total tax revenues.
With the climate crisis upon us, setting up obstacles to growing the Florida solar industry is like shooting yourself in the foot.
Sets the Florida Solar Industry Back a Decade
Initial modeling suggests this legislation could set Florida’s rooftop solar industry back by at least ten years – removing thousands of jobs, consumer choices, savings, property value and other benefits that come from rooftop solar in Florida.
How Can I Help Protect Florida Solar?
If you’re a concerned Florida solar customer or resident that wants to protect our industry, local companies and jobs – here’s how you can help:
Send Emails to Legislators
Florida legislators need to hear that thousands of Floridians support solar rights. With 93% of Floridians in support of net metering, we need you all to email legislators.
Solar United Neighbors has set up a page allowing you to do this all in one click. Click here to do exactly that.
“Several key legislators need to hear from you today — Senate bill sponsor Senator Jennifer Bradley, House bill sponsor Representative Lawrence McClure, House Commerce Chair Blaise Ingoglia, and your own elected representatives. Email them all and urge them to oppose SB 1024 and HB 741.”
Personalized messages have a stronger impact, so remember to mention:
- If you use solar at home or in your business
- Work in the solar industry
- Have plans to go solar
Additionally, you can find the contact information of your own representatives here.
Donate to the Florida Net Metering Defense Fund
The Florida Solar Energy Industries Association is working hard to protect Florida’s solar industry through its Political Action Committee (PAC).
Through donations, you can help them work with state policymakers to protect customers’ rights, local jobs and the economic development of the local Florida Solar industry.
Volunteer donations can be made here.
Solar Installations in Florida
If you’re considering investing in solar in Florida and want to support the local Florida solar industry, then contact us today.
Florida Power Services “The Solar Power Company” is the Sunshine’s states leading solar power installer and would love to help you save thousands of dollars in 2022, through solar tax credits, high-quality designs and financing.
Warning: Florida’s solar tax credits savings will end at their current rate in 2022. Lock in pricing now! No delays, no regrets! Make the most of those solar tax credits in 2021 and 2022!


Being able to load an ATV into the back of a truck isn’t easy and could lead to some problems if you’re not extremely careful during the process.
These days four-wheelers can weigh more than 1000 lbs when they’re fully loaded with gear, gun racks, storage bins and more so it’s a good idea to use quality tools when it comes to loading an ATV.
Unless you have heavy machinery at your disposal, like a crane or forklift, you’re likely going to need a proper ATV ramp to get your quad up and onto the back of your truck so you can transport it around or bring it home for the winter when it’s not in use.
- Folding dual-runner ramp for loading and unloading ATVs, UTVs, and more
- Serrated rungs for superior traction with an arched design for maximum engine and tailpipe clearance
- Rubber-coated finger-style attaching points and two safety straps support ramp on vehicle
- Manufactured from high-strength, lightweight aluminum with a 1,500 lb. total weight capacity; 750 lbs. per ramp
- Each ramp measures 7-1/2' L x 11-1/4" W and folds in half for easy transport and storage
In this review, I want to talk about my recommendations for the best ATV ramps but before I dive into my suggested choices I want to cover a little bit about to look for when you’re in the market for an ATV loading ramp.
Choosing the Right ATV Loading Ramp
Check the Weight Restriction
Every loading ramp will have its own weight restriction that will let anyone using it know the maximum weight of ATV it’s able to carry.
Usually, this weight is given in pounds (lbs) per ramp and it’s important to keep an eye out to see what the actual limit is before driving a quad onto ramps that might not be able to support it.
Rather than focusing on an ATV base weight, you need to determine roughly how much it’s going to weigh when it’s completely loaded.
Some things to keep in mind include:
- How much fuel is in the tank
- How much do any additions or upgrades add to the base weight
- Is anything being stored on the quad that’s going to add to the overall weight
While it’s not necessary to weigh every single thing beforehand it’s important to come up with a rough estimate and not exceed the ramp maximum weight so any damage to the ramp, ATV, or truck can be avoided.
Never exceed the total ramp support weight.
Determine a Suitable Length
A variety of different length ramps are available to choose from and the height of your truck or trailer will ultimately determine the length you need.
For example, a low truck bed or trailer requires a shorter ramp to work effectively while a taller truck bed or trailer will need a longer ramp.
There are different lengths available depending on the length and angle you need and I recommend making an effort to keep the angle of ramp elevator at or below 40-degrees.
It’s possible to eyeball this but it’s a much better >check out an online calculator to determine the ideal length of ramp needed.
Pick the Right Width
The width of the ramp is important because the ATV tires need ample space for grip and for movement up the ramp and onto the trailer or truck bed.
For the ramp type that comes with two separate pieces it’s a good idea to see how wide each piece is and to compare that to the width of the ATV tires to make sure there is enough space.
The other ramp type, the one that is just essentially one large and wide piece, is likely wide enough for most ATV’s but it’s still a good idea to compare the widths to see if it will fit.
The Best ATV Ramp
Now that I’ve covered some tips on how to choose the best ramp for an ATV let’s take a look at my top recommendations!
7.5 ft Aluminum Plate Top Lawnmower ATV Truck Loading Ramps
- CAPACITY OF 1,500 LBS: These ramps are ideal for transferring any...
- IDEAL ATV, DIRT BIKE, AND LAWN MOWER LOADING RAMPS: Whether you’re...
- SAFETY STRAPS INCLUDED: No need to purchase safety straps separately!...
- A FOLDING ALUMINUM RAMP WITH STURDY CONSTRUCTION: Each component of...
- PORTABLE MUST-HAVE ATV AND 4-WHEELER ACCESSORIES: ATVs and 4-wheelers...
With a total capacity of 1,500 lbs and a straightforward design my first recommendation for the best ramp for ATV use is the 7.5 ft Aluminum Plate Top Lawnmower ATV Truck Loading Ramp.
This ramp set comes with a pair of folding plate-top style ramps.
It’s designed from aluminum, which offers ample support for ATV’s up to 1,500 lbs in weight, and the arched design of the ramps provides better ground clearance that’s great for those off-road and backcountry conditions.
With a total carrying weight of 33 lbs it’s a suitable and lightweight solution for getting your quad onto the back of your truck or onto a trailer and the ramps even fold in half, making the pair even more portable.
One more notable feature is the rubber tipped fingers that help to keep the ramp in place and prevent slippage or movement while any ATVs or quads are driven up and onto a flat platform.
As for the specifics, the ramp measures 90-inches in length and each piece is 11-inches wide. When it’s folded up it’s only 45.5-inches in length or about half of the space it takes up when fully extended.

Midway through a three-store renovation, Penhollow Thriftway is already enjoying its decision to make fresh produce a signature department. The independent operator's redesign shifts produce to first in the shopping pattern and roughly doubles the floor space allocated to the department.
The result is a "produce punch" when customers enter the store, according to Jim Penhollow, owner of the three stores located around Seattle. The update of the Ballinger unit was completed late last summer, the Renton unit was finished in late September, and the operator's third unit is slated for redesign this coming May, said Penhollow.
"Small independent stores can take control of their own destiny and maintain independence," he said. "You have to have a focal point of what food really is. If we don't do something to differentiate ourselves, we won't make it. Produce is the most important thing a customer can take into their house and feed their family. We want to get into that niche and put out the best effort that we can."
The operator initially conducted a survey of the marketing areas the units are located in to determine what the customers wanted. While the Renton unit is located amid commercial buildings and a small Seattle suburb, the Ballinger unit posed a challenge. This unit is located in a suburb that straddles two counties, where neighborhoods are both blue collar and contain million-dollar, waterfront homes.
"Many of our neighbors did not know the store was even there," said Penhollow. "Or they equated it to another unit that had been there previously."
What's more, the Thriftway group did not get high marks for its produce offerings, and Penhollow suspected the smaller size of the departments may have made the difference as consumers compared them to competing retailers.
"You always have to fight when you are small, because you're perceived as expensive," he told SN. "Opening up the produce department made the stores look larger and the produce offerings bountiful."
The 25,000-square-foot Ballinger unit's produce department was moved to the front of the store and doubled in size to 3,200 square feet of floor space.
Similarly, the 40,000-square-foot Renton unit also enlarged its produce department from 4,000 square feet to 8,000 square feet. This size has enabled Penhollow to add new items and expand entire categories. Larger displays lend themselves to a brimming, bulk effect. Signage has been carefully redesigned to offer customers not only item and price information, but details as to growing method, origin and preparation or serving suggestions.
"Selection, quality and variety are the points we want to get across to customers entering the stores," said Penhollow. "We want to offer good-sized displays for selection. For variety we want to offer not just ginger root but taro root and horseradish root, for example. There are so many produce items available that the average store doesn't get. Now with our expansion we can offer more."
In both remodels to date, old cases were removed and the operator shifted to new double-deck cases. New moveable dry tables were employed to increase flexibility. These tables can also accommodate larger displays than previously, plus they can be shifted within the department to keep the look fresh. The ability to build bigger displays has also given the operator the ability to leverage his buying ability.
"We find the best farms and bring their crops to market," said Penhollow. "There is much more produce available today. Last fall we had an apple festival and featured 52 varieties."
The redesign doubled the organic offerings and increased the number of specialty items, too. Organics are merchandised in an eight-foot, four-deck refrigerated case with a well. Pink tape, used to identify organic selections, also makes it easy for front-end checkers to spot, reducing ring errors. Previous to the remodel, 35 stockkeeping units of organics were offered. Now that presentation is expanded to more than 100 pieces.
When available, the Thriftway group carries both organic and conventionally grown items, double-facing them within the department. In select categories -- including spring mix, greens and bunch carrots -- Penhollow has shifted to offering organic only.
"Conventional customers do not care if these items are organic or not and actually see the growing method as an added value," he said.
Specialty items are displayed in terra-cotta trays that promote a natural effect. Mushrooms, baby vegetables and peppers were in particular abundance when SN toured both units. SKUs here have increased 50% under the new setup.
A Salad Garden greens bar -- priced at $6.99 per pound -- makes available salad mixes, stir-fry mix, fajita mix and broccoli florets, along with sliced radishes, cucumbers and mushrooms. Toppings such as green onion, marinated artichoke hearts, red onion and shredded cheddar cheese are merchandised in crocks. Additionally, eight different dressings, plus two vinegars and olive oil, are available, and customers can place their selection in take-home, clear plastic containers. The self-service case is refrigerated with misting capabilities.
Elsewhere, service seafood and service meat were also added to the floor plans. Now grill-ready and oven-ready selections are offered along with a full compliment of sausages. The deli was expanded to incorporate a self-service cold-food bar; expanded specialty cheeses; and an olive bar. A self-service, hot-food bar was added to the Renton unit to service workers in the surrounding area during lunchtime. Both food bar prices are $6.99 per pound at both stores.
To accommodate the expansion of produce and deli in the Ballinger store, Penhollow elected to eliminate bulk foods and reduce the grocery presentation by one aisle. Fitting the service meat and seafood cases into the store required Penhollow to remove an additional grocery space by 18 feet, though angled case runs have helped minimize the decrease in dry goods. The Renton remodel removed two grocery aisles to accommodate the fresh-food focus.
"We have not eliminated selection. We cut down on offering every size in every brand in every category," he said.
"Since the renovations we have had positive comments from customers," said Penhollow. "They like the quality offered and the number of items now available. We feel we did a good job, but the customers will ultimately tell us the truth."
To introduce Ballinger-area consumers to the redesign, Penhollow embarked on an extensive direct-mail campaign. Every week, for 12 weeks, fliers were mailed to homes within the areas to introduce shoppers and potential shoppers to the changes. The fresh-oriented brochures punctuated the deepened offerings. Produce, seafood and meat items were photographed and headlines such as "Get Fresh With Us," "Come To Your Senses" and "Berry, Berry Cook!" were emblazoned on the cover. Inside, a lead item was featured along with a coupon for products such as a free, single tall latte, specially priced premium ice cream, $3 off a whole rotisserie chicken and a free dozen eggs. More specially priced items completed the inside of the brochure. The outside of the flier contained a map to the unit and a brief description about the changes.
"Advertising and direct mail are always a gamble," said Penhollow. "But these fliers really helped us tell our neighbors and customers about the changes in produce, seafood and the deli. We have to be different. The Wednesday ads have been grocers' only avenue and there the only recognition you get is that you are cheaper."
In both locations the store remained open during the renovations. "In produce we put the displays on wheels and watered the wet rack items with watering cans," said Penhollow, who plans to refurbish his stores every three years in order to remain competitive.
"You can get caught up in operations as a way to run your business, but your food still has to look beautiful," he said.

For the past few months now, local Dallas radio station 91.7 KXT has been randomly dropping a few new songs by Oscar Delaughter into their rotation. Imagine catching the tail end of a song that sounded really interesting, only for Shazam to tell you that song doesn’t exist. Luckily, KXT keeps a running playlist on their website but, frustratingly enough, when you would find that the song you missed was by Oscar Delaughter, there would be no link to Spotify or iTunes. The guy was a digital ghost in an era where that’s nearly impossible.
Just a few hours ago, Oscar Delaughter decided to step out into the light and surprise released his debut self-titled EP. It’s a shame that we had to wait this long for it because it is really quite good. Over the EP’s 19 minutes, Delaughter darts from genre to genre, displaying his Timberlake-esque swagger on Grand Prize to dabbling in alt-power-pop on Lost and You Don’t Know to showing he can hang with the best of the Soundcloud group on This Feelin and You Remind Me.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I love the first thing you hear from a new artist. Sometimes the artist has a crystal clear identity of exactly who and what they are and other times it’s more of a coming out party, showcasing all the different facets of their talent. On the Oscar Delaughter EP, it feels like a mix of both. Musically, Delaughter’s influences are pretty clear – JT, Post Malone, Future, and not surprisingly, his own dad, Tim Delaughter of The Polyphonic Spree/Tripping Daisy – and that’s not a bad thing. He is a young artist, still finding his style and direction, so why not use the sounds that he loves and create something of his own with them?
The reason, though, that I think this EP is more than just a collection of catchy songs in the popular styles of today, is the heart that it shows. Top 40 hasn’t ever really done a whole lot for me and it has less to do with the music than it does the content. When pop hits have nothing to say, there is no risk, no vulnerability, and no emotional connection with the listener. This EP feels, lyrically, very honest and I can’t imagine putting myself out there like that at such a young age – it seems to share more a kinship with mid-90’s emo music than it does with the music that it actually sounds like. And that, is the biggest reason to be excited about what we’ll hear in the future from Delaughter. In an age where it is increasingly easy to detach the worries and sadness from the perfect Instagram pictures, there is ever-growing need for artists like Delaughter who inject honesty and pathos into the music that already sounds perfect.
p.s. I have listened to Lost and You Remind Me probably 5 times each now – those two songs are simply outstanding. I also loved the nod to his dad with the vocal effects on You Don’t Know and using what sounds to me like a Spree-related Placid Audio Copperphone mic on the second verse of Lost. The production on Lost should also be noted…Greg Kurstin would be proud!

It’s not always easy to be a human on this planet. I’ve spent the better part of my life trying (and mostly failing) to figure it out. I worked for a fortune 500 company for 30 years and fled the moment I reached retirement eligibility. I spent some of those years (okay, a LOT of them) drunk every evening, which in hindsight made it infinitely harder to be a human on this planet!
Some people just seem to have been born knowing how life works – as though they were given “THE LIFE MANUAL” before conception and retained its knowledge at birth. I know that’s just perception. Everyone struggles – some just hide it better than others. Those others (like me) find it considerably easier to hide from life than learn to live in it.
Almost 10 months ago now, I decided to stop hiding. To begin with, I got sober, though this is not going to be a sobriety blog. I got real about the work I was doing in the world and realized I’d made it mostly about making everyone around me happy and that it didn’t particularly make ME happy. And I started looking at what it would take to get me happy.
There is one idea that has repeated itself throughout my life – it has informed the things I read, the experiences I gravitate toward, the people who inspire delight in my heart. As the song says, I’ve “got to believe in magic” because without it, what’s the point?
Now, I don’t necessarily mean woo-woo, Harry Potter, rabbit-out-of-hat, kinds of magic (though I do love all of that). I’m talking about the simpler kinds of magic – a good book on a rainy day, the sight of the milky way on a dark night, a simple human kindness that brings a tear to my eye, those small moments of delight that give me goosebumps. I think a life spent focused on seeking and seeing these types of magic is one that I would be proud to have lived when my days on this planet are done.
I want to live simply. I want to sit by the window when it rains and read books I’ll never be tested on. I want to paint because I want to, not because I have something to prove. I want to listen to my body, fall asleep when the moon is high and wake up slowly, with no place to rush off to. I want not to be governed by money or clocks or any of the artificial restraints that humanity imposes on itself. I just want to be… boundless and infinite. — Author Unknown

The cytoplasmic tails of Uukuniemi Virus (Bunyaviridae) G(N) and G(C) glycoproteins are important for intracellular targeting and the budding of virus-like particles
2007 (English)In: Journal of Virology, ISSN 0022-538X, E-ISSN 1098-5514, Vol. 81, no 20, 11381-11391 p.Article in journal (Refereed) Published
Functional motifs within the cytoplasmic tails of the two glycoproteins G(N) and G(C) of Uukuniemi virus (UUK) (Bunyaviridae family) were identified with the help of our recently developed virus-like particle (VLP) system for UUK virus (A. K. Overby, V. Popov, E. P. Neve, and R. F. Pettersson, J. Virol. 80:10428-10435, 2006). We previously reported that information necessary for the packaging of ribonucleoproteins into VLPs is located within the G(N) cytoplasmic tail (A. K. Overby, R. F. Pettersson, and E. P. Neve, J. Virol. 81:3198-3205, 2007). The G(N) glycoprotein cytoplasmic tail specifically interacts with the ribonucleoproteins and is critical for genome packaging. In addition, two other regions in the G(N) cytoplasmic tail, encompassing residues 21 to 25 and 46 to 50, were shown to be important for particle generation and release. By the introduction of point mutations within these two regions, we demonstrate that leucines at positions 23 and 24 are crucial for the initiation of VLP budding, while leucine 46, glutamate 47, and leucine 50 are important for efficient exit from the endoplasmic reticulum and subsequent transport to the Golgi complex. We found that budding and particle generation are highly dependent on the intracellular localization of both glycoproteins. The short cytoplasmic tail of UUK G(C) contains a lysine at position -3 from the C terminus that is highly conserved among members of the Phlebovirus, Hantavirus, and Orthobunyavirus genera. Mutating this single amino acid residue in G(C) resulted in the mislocalization of not only G(C) but also G(N) to the plasma membrane, and VLP generation was compromised in cells expressing this mutant. Together, these results demonstrate that the cytoplasmic tails of both G(N) and G(C) contain specific information necessary for efficient virus particle generation.

I have two major projects for my thesis. The first is identifying new pectin biosynthetic enzymes in Arabidopsis thaliana through heterologous expression of putative enzymes in HEK293 cells. The second is a detailed cell wall analysis of switchgrass modified in one of these enzymes. My goal is to increase our fundamental understanding of cell wall biosynthesis and use that knowledge to modify biofeedstock crops to enhance their capacity for biofuel production.


Root Zero has launched what it says is the UK’s ‘first’ carbon neutral potatoes with paper bag packaging, which will be sold in 200 Co-Op stores across the UK.
The potatoes are grown in Pembrokeshire by Puffin Produce and packed in “plastic-free paper bags”, which Root Zero claims will prevent more than five and a half tonnes of plastic arriving on supermarket shelves.
In addition, the packaging apparently uses innovations in water-based inks and adhesive technology to ensure it is recyclable and can be reprocessed back into high-quality paper. It can also be used to store other vegetables and is home-compostable, according to the company.
Root Zero collaborated with Van der Windt Packaging on the potato packaging, which uses the latter’s cartoPaper. This is allegedly fully recyclable and biodegradable, as well as having a high calorie content that makes it suitable for energy generation uses.
The packaging also features tips for customers on cooking potatoes with skins, alongside other methods to reduce food waste, as part of Root Zero’s commitment to raising awareness of the link between food waste and climate change.
Root Zero also worked with certification body Control Union to earn the Plastic Free standard for its potato packaging.
Federica Cionci, who leads the Plastic Free scheme at Control Union, says: “Plastic pollution causes devastating loss of biodiversity, harms human and animal health, and costs the global economy nearly £2 trillion per year. Yet the production of plastic continues to increase.
“The Plastic Free Certification from A Plastic Planet is a simple but robust scheme to give both businesses and consumers reassurance that products or packaging are indeed 100% plastic free.
“The innovative products used in the Root Zero packaging, including inks and adhesive as well as the cartoPaper itself, show that moving away from plastic packaging is becoming a more and more realistic option for businesses, and we congratulate Puffin Produce on the positive example they are setting for other producers and retailers.”
Root Zero adds that it will continue to invest in carbon offsetting projects to neutralise carbon emissions that are “currently unavoidable”. For example, the company will begin generating its own energy by installing solar panels at its production sites, while also using fuel-efficient tractors and electric cars for transporting its products.
This initiative by Root Zero aims to address emissions across the entire supply chain, including with its partners. Puffin Produce has set a target to reduce the carbon intensity of Root Zero potatoes by 51%, and its total operation emissions by 46%, by 2030.
Root Zero joins several other initiatives by companies to reduce plastic waste and carbon footprints in the food industry. Partnering with SILBO, Mondi developed a paper-based, compostable bag with a bio-based coating for potatoes packaged in Ireland, Poland, France, and Germany. In Ireland, Tesco also unveiled a recyclable, paper-based packaging that uses FSC accredited material for its own-brand potatoes.
With trials beginning in 200 Co-Op stores, Root Zero is expected to announce further supermarket availability in the coming months.

In Pittsburgh, an Urban Homestead for Hospitality and Sanctuary
There’s a neighborhood in Pittsburgh, PA where the rusting metal of an abandoned steel mill still stands, a symbol of both what the city was and the potential it has for reinvention. Like its mill, the area of Hazelwood seems rough around the edges, but if you meet a few residents, it’s all too easy to become smitten with the tight-knit neighborhood. This was the case for Dylan Rooke, who had heard of an available fixer-upper, met some neighbors, and fell for the passionate community.

Aspen Music Festival, which was founded in 1949.ASPEN, Colo. -- During the last few days I've been visiting Aspen, a place where many musicians have spent their summers studying, performing and teaching. In the winter the main attraction is skiing, but in the summer, it's classical music, in the form of
What this means is that during the summer, this small ski resort town suddenly bursts with a population of classical music lovers and musicians. Music is everywhere. There are newspaper reviews of classical concerts every day, and copies of the festival schedule lying around everywhere. Yesterday I encountered a college-age couple talking over coffee about the merits of various violin players, while at the next table sat young man who sang a lead part in a performance of Rossini's "Barber of Seville," which I'd seen on Saturday. And there are also things like a bluegrass festival atop the mountain -- you have to ride a gondola up to see it.
It's that kind of place -- just walking down the streets, you might run into any number of people who are celebrities in our classical music world -- this summer you might pass artists such as Augustin Hadelich, Daniel Hope, Midori, Sarah Chang, Gil Shaham. Or you just might bump into one of the world's finest violin or viola teachers such as Paul Kantor, Robert Lipsett, Sylvia Rosenberg, Almita Vamos, Bing Wang, Masao Kawasaki -- the list goes on and on.
Over a period eight weeks, the Aspen Music Festival attracts a staggering number of top-flight musicians, playing host to more than 130 artists and faculty members who represent nearly every major conservatory, music school, and orchestra in the United States. During that period, more than 600 young musicians between the ages of 10 and 37 study at the Aspen Music School, from about 40 states and 40 countries. And there are some 300 performances, master classes, lectures, and panels, many of them open to the public as well as the students.
It's actually a little overwhelming.
I'm fortunate enough to be here while several violinists are visiting, including Grammy award-winning Augustin Hadelich, who is giving a recital Wednesday night, playing the highly unusual Violin Concerto by György Ligeti -- a piece that I must admit, I have never heard -- but I will! A few days later, on Sunday, Hadelich will perform the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in a 4 p.m. concert with the the Aspen Festival Orchestra.
On Monday I spoke with Augustin about Aspen and about this unique and interesting concerto, for which he has become a champion. The Ligeti concerto, written in 1992, requires several of the orchestra players to tune their instruments to unconventional pitches ("scordatura" tuning, but to microtonal pitches), while the soloist tunes to conventional pitches. The music also requires four wind players to play the ocarina, an ancient kind of clay flute. At Aspen Hadelich will play a new cadenza by Thomas Adés, which he first premiered in January with the composer conducting the Boston Symphony (a performance that received glowing reviews).

One summer afternoon in 2009 I was practicing in my dorm at the Heifetz International Music Institute, in a sprawling basement room where I lived with three other girls my age. I was studying Bruch’s Scottish Fantasy—a piece I found difficult, but loved very much. Something from the communication class that afternoon reverberated in my mind, and I was feeling newly free. I paced around my room while I played, exploring different sounds, colors, and possibilities of phrase structure. As I walked around, my eyes landed on a bug on the wall. I stopped for a moment to consider the bug and its existence. Suddenly, I felt a rush of emotion, a tenderness. I began to play again, this time for the bug (which probably had no idea it was the recipient of such attention). I felt the power and delight of channeling my musical energy somewhere specific, connecting to someone (well, something). Daniel Heifetz often talks about sending your energy over the footlights, all the way to the back row of the hall, so that you reach each person in the audience. Now I strive to reach each insect in the concert hall, as well.
Flash forward nine years. This summer, I am on the violin faculty for the Institute’s PEG (Program for the Exceptionally Gifted), designed for students ages 9–14. My three-week session with seven violin students is coming to a close, and I’ve been reflecting on my own studies at the Heifetz Institute. It’s a joy to take what I’ve learned and pass it on to young musicians. The students of HeifetzPEG are at a pivotal point in their musical lives, as they go through middle school. Yes—scales, etudes, and understanding of the fingerboard are important. But at Heifetz, students are working on more than that. Keep reading...Comments (2)

DIY Hog Roast Recipe
Hog roasting has been around for generations, and very little of it has changed from the days of cavemen. Sure, the equipment is much nicer, but the pigs still take the same amount of time to cook. The flavours are still the same. The sense of community around the pit is timeless.
Whether you’re looking to spit a suckling or feed the entire neighbourhood with a hefty swine, here’s what you need to know about roasting a hog.
Choosing Your Hog
How many people are coming to your backyard bash? Generally speaking, each pound of pig will feed one person, so 100 guests would necessitate a 100lb hog. Keep in mind that the meat is never served alone, so they’ll be adding slaw, chips and beans to their plates in addition to the pork itself.
You should also look at the amount of fat on the carcass. Too little and your roasted pig will be dry and stringy; too much and it will be greasy and unappetizing.
Buying the Right Equipment
There are a myriad of ways to roast a hog and different equipment for each. For example, if you want the fastest cooking time possible, you’ll need to spit your pig. If you want juicy, succulent meat all the way through, look into a concrete block pit or professional roaster.If your not looking to make a habit of roasting pigs and other food then a hog roast hire option might be worthwhile for you, you can get hog roast hire in Warwickshire and many areas of the UK.
Mixing Your Rub
A “rub” is a collection of herbs, spices and seasoning’s rubbed onto the skin of the hog for flavoring. No one wants to eat a bland slab of meat, so the rub is one of the most important parts of preparing your pig.
Here are a few common ingredients for rubs:
– Onion salt
– Garlic salt
– Black pepper
For spicier, Cajun-style hogs, experiment with chili pepper or cayenne pepper. For a sweet taste, put a little sugar in the mix.
Preparing Your Hog
If you’re spitting your hog, there won’t be a lot of prep involved; you can just haul the animal on the spit and start turning. On the other hand, if you’re working with a concrete pit or roaster, you’ll want to butterfly the ribs before roasting so the hog will lay flat and cook evenly.
Your job isn’t over just because the hog is on the grate. In fact, this is where your duty really begins; roasted hogs need to be monitored on a near-constant basis to prevent burning, charring or over-smoking. The larger animals can take up to 20 hours to cook, too, meaning you and your friends will need to take shifts. But that’s the spirit of a hog roast!


The French equivalent of our “Britain in Bloom” competition is the “Villes et Villages Fleuris” and you’ll see the above sign on the approach to the winning towns and villages.
They are chosen after a rigourous selection process, based on the care they have taken with their floral decoration; the beauty of their parks and gardens; and the work they have done to improve the urban environment and provide visitors a friendly welcome.
Some of these districts are well-known cities, while others are little villages deep in the heart of the countryside – the 2005 Gold Medal Ville Fleurie winner being Le Plessis Robinson (92 Hauts de Seine, Ile de France) – really an outer suburb of Paris, about 15 miles Southwest of the city centre.
Before taking the name “Robinson”, Le Plessis was known as Plessis-Raoul, and Plessis-Piquet, and it was only in 1905 that it became Plessis-Robinson, thanks to a restaurant owner who, in 1898, had the idea of setting up little restaurants with music and dancing among the trees, reproducing the home of Robinson-Crusoë. These were enormously successful at the turn of the century, and the thousands of Parisians who came out to it every Sunday made their reputation.
The town is distinguished by its abundant greenery, alongside elegant floral displays: 1,200 original hanging displays, flowery meadows …Le Plessis-Robinson has been a green town for a long time, with a great variety of parks, gardens, woods and squares. It distinguished itself in 1919 by launching a competition for concepts which, in 1929, gave birth to the Garden City, a major event in the history of town planning. Nowadays, Le Plessis is the highest town in Hauts-de-Seine (at 170m), as well as the greenest, with 50 m2 of open spaces per head of the population, or 100 hectares of parks and woodland!
