"Why don't you just call the hermit crab Bait?"[!!!!]It's usually his sister's role to be the macabre one.

China's Food Chain. Nobody Trusts Nobody.
2009-08-17 11:18:00 The Eileen Eats blog did an excellent, though very disquieting, post on the state of Chinese food. The post is entitled, "Food Safety– Can’t let your guard down," and it has the following money quote: Hung Huang, chief executive of the China Interactive Media Group in China, said recently in an article in the New York Times that China as a nation of food lovers is going on a diet. “Not because we don’t love to eat anymore,” she said, “but because we just don’t know what is safe to eat.” CLB's own Steve Dickinson wrote a Wall Street Journal column earlier this year, entitled, "Food Fumble," discussing how China's new food safety laws will do little to solve China's food safety problems. What will work? When will it work? What do you think?

Campagnolo 11 Speed Chain Failure
2009-06-19 06:01:00 Now if you don't use the Campy recommended, "200 dollar" chain tool to hook up your 11 speed chain, it will break. If not now, at some point. Because of the smaller tolerances and a special peening procedure involved, your conventional tool will not be able to seat the union bushing into the links properly. It will bend out and take the paper thin link along with it. Only the mighty Campy tool can properly do the following while crapping in your wallet :a) Support the left end of the link by clamping it while pushing the union bushing in adequately with a conical pusher.b) Split the protruding end by a special hole provided in the tool. c) Lock the bushing in the link ("locking the link"). Trust me, this is the Cadillac of chain tools. Your grandpa's tool just won't cut it.Now I myself thought I could somehow get away without 'following the rules'. Oh no. Didn't work. The following chain failure happened to me while climbing a long hill. I asked my local bike shop to equip th...

China Nepstar (NPD): Emerging drug store chain
2009-05-01 14:00:00 "Today, most independent drug stores in the U.S. have been replaced by the behemoth pharmacy departments; but in China, the business is still dominated by mom-and-pop operations," says China expert Tony Sagami.In his The Asia Stock Alert, he says, "However, that is changing, and getting in on the ground floor with China Nepstar (NYSE: NPD) could make you a bundle of money.""No Chinese company controls more than 1% of the country’s entire pharmacy industry. In the business world, that’s called a highly fragmented industry. Not for long. "Just like in the U.S., the pharmacy business is in the process of slowly changing from mom-and-pops to big, bulk-buying corporate giants."In China, that change is being brought on by China Nepstar, the country’s largest drugstore chain with 2,700 outlets. Established in 1995, the green Nepstar store is becoming a familiar sight in many Chinese urban neighborhoods."Being the biggest h...

Yamachan Restaurant Chain
2009-02-02 08:42:00 Yamachan is a restaurant chain in Nagoya.There are three such restaurants in close proximity to each other behind the JR Kanayama Station.By the entrance you can see the company logo a half-man/half bird-like creature with feathers and avian like feet.It also adorns many of the plates and the menu.The restaurant has the usual things on the menu you'd expect such as potato fries or fried potato and various noddle dishes.Also on the menu are examples of typical Nagoya fare such as misokushikatsu (below) which is breaded and deep fried pork dipped in miso sauce.Its a bit of an acquired taste being somewhat chewy and some people find the miso sauce a little overpowering and strong. The signature dish of the chain though is tebasaki or grilled seasoned,spicy chicken wings. A local breed of chicken,the Nagoya kochin, is used to produce this crisp,crunchy fare.You can see an example in the shot below. The photo below shows the picture menu which contains photos of the dishes available.T...

How To Have A China Ready Supply Chain
2009-01-11 02:21:00 The most recent issue of Supply & Demand Chain Executive Magazine has a really informative article by Steven Ganster on China. The article is entitled, "The China-ready Supply Chain: Key attributes to ensure a high degree of readiness for doing business well with China," and it does an excellent job setting out what foreign companies must be on the lookout for "doing business well with China and getting excellent performance from your supply chain." The article very nicely sets out the following four key challenges to address to make your supply chain China-ready and then sets out to explain how to meet these four challenges: -- China's vast and complex market landscape. China crams its 1.3 billion citizens (estimates of China's population range from 1.2 to 1.5 billion, the margin of error being the size of the United States) into a space the size of the continental United States, and it boasts more than 170 cities with a population exceeding 1 million residents.

Tom Vass: If McCain wins ... vote for IT value chain

In The Technology Stock Advisor (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2451), he explains, "As such, we would recommend Molex (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=molx) (NASDAQ: MOLX (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=molx)) which is positioned in the technology value chain.""To provide an immediate boost to capital expenditures and reward investments in cutting edge technologies, John McCain would allow companies to expense the costs of new equipment or technology in the first year.

BASS Federation Nation Northern Divisional - Winneconne Chain - Tournament
2008-09-05 12:32:00 Day 3, my partner convinced me it would be to both of our benefits to use his boat, as he had a ton of waypoints for good smallies out on Winnebago. It took some convincing and some considerable thought on my part before I gave in. We discussed, that we would go back and forth on our water which was actually close to each other if needed and that he would have about an hour to prove the worth of his smallies reefs, before I would go back and forth on my largemouth water.There was a pretty decent wind from the Northeast coming down the lake, but we made it to our starting area. Chris worked the boat off the edges of his prime area trying to get some bigger bites for about the first 30 minutes or so, nothing doing. We then worked our way towards the sweet spot, he immediately boated a 14.5" smallie and reluctantly put in the box. I then caught a smallie on a Green Pumpkin Copper Flake tube that only the slime of his tail touched and I tosse...
BASS Federation Nation Northern Divisional - Winneconne Chain - Tournament
2008-09-05 12:32:00 My goal on day 2 was basically to repeat day 1, I figured that if I caught a 10lb limit every day, that would keep me moving up. My 2nd day partner was Robert Sullivan from Iowa, he had 2 keepers on Day 1, so he was up for letting me fish my fish, as long as we saved a little time for one key bank that he wanted to work.We were boat #36 out of 48, yet had no problem getting into my area first. The bites were a little slower this morning. I caught a couple short fish early and my partner had one that looked like it would have kept jump off. I then got on a little run and caught 3 keepers by about 8am. Here is how the flurry went down. I caught the first one on a dock piling (baby Brushhog) where there was some clumped weeds where a rock bank transitioned to a sea wall. The bite was kind of weird and I suspected there was another fish there by the way that fish bit. So I quickly pitched back and caught a 13" fish. I threw...
BASS Federation Nation Northern Divisional - Winneconne Chain - Tournament
2008-09-05 12:32:00 One thing that I forgot to mention about practice, is how bad the power situation for charging batteries was at the hotel before the official practice. There were a bunch of guys sharing plug-ins and many guys woke up the next morning with almost no charge on their batteries. Guys had to give up time on the water to come in and charge their batteries or try to practice with no trolling motor. My StayNCharge and All Charge systems that kept my batteries charged from my outboard and tow vehicle were a life saver until the actual boat yard was ready. It sure is nice having piece of mind, not worrying about getting a charge no matter where you are.Day 1 - I drew David Thompson from Illinois. Talking to him, he seemed like a good hook, fished a lot of the Stren Series & Opens. He had some pad fish going in Buttes De Mortes, so he agreed we would fish my fish first and save his fish for the afternoon. We were boat #21 and made it to my area in...
BASS Federation Nation Northern Divisional - Winneconne Chain - Practice Da
2008-09-05 12:32:00 Too speed things up here, I am going to combine practice days 3. There was a whole lot of fishing done in those 2 days, but only 4 or 5 keepers caught in my boat those days.Day 3 was calm as predicted, so Ryan & I launched my boat at Miller's Park and ran across to the Stockbridge area, hunting and pecking on reefs. We caught a couple smallies pretty quickly, but nothing that would measure. We kept working our way down, visiting areas around Winnebago point as well. Same story, nothing but small smallmouth. The last area we visited was in front of Pipe Creek / Calumet Harbor. There we found a nice rock pile that lined the channel and we actually caught one nice keeper and had another 3lb fish jump off. Both of those fish fell for a Green Pumpkin Fork Craw on a Picasso Shakedown head.From there we came back across the lake and started looking for largemouth down around the Long Point Island. We caught fish all around working our way...
BASS Federation Nation Northern Divisional - Winneconne Chain - Practice Da
2008-09-05 12:32:00 Practice day 2 started with me figuring our why I was not getting power to my front graph. It only took me about 20-30 minutes to get that squared away. Ryan & I got the boat gassed up and launched just south of the fox rive on Lake Winnebago. We started fishing some weeds and scattered rock in 3-5 feet in North Asylum bay, this was an area that we fished in the June Bassmaster Weekend Series tournament. I quickly caught several fish on White/Blue Secret Weapon Spinnerbait, none of them were keepers and Ryan got a short smallie on a Gold 1/4oz Rat-L-Trap. We moved down and I tried some soft plastics and caught a short largemouth, I had one other good bite, but that was it.From there we moved into the docks, we fished about 40 of them and got bites on 3, I marked those with the GPS to revisit later if I was looking for a good bite, as the one fish I caught was over 3lbs on a tube. After docks, we spent a couple hours hopping reefs looking for a...

My intention was to spend a day fishing the south end of the Wolf River and around Poygan and some of those lakes so that I would have water in that area if my partner took his time over there.We started fishing the lower Wolf, we caught several short smallmouth and largemouth. I did get one nice keeper largemouth on a black blue fleck tube on some eel grass near a cut. We then ventured out in to Poygan, we fished a cut on the north end and I got a keeper largemouth on a Stanley Ribbit using the new 4/0 Tru-Tungsten Hack Hook. We got a couple more bites theres in the duck weed, but that was it. We then headed to Willow...
Whitefish Chain - Bassmasters Weekend Series Tournament #2 - July 19th, 200
2008-09-05 12:32:00 I was able to practice for this event only on the Friday before the tournament. I spent about 7 hours out on the water and found a few decent deep weed edges that were producing and checked a few shallow areas with mixed results. I drew boat #21 out of 50. Not too bad, but I actually would have preferred the 3rd flight and the extra time to fish.I started out on a deep weed edge that created an inside turn that had some good coontail clumps on it off of Swede's Bar. I caught 2 small keepers there, but nothing like the bites I had in practice. I then ran to a small shallow weed depression near by and caught a quick limit on a green Brovarney Swim Jig and actually caught one nice fish that was over 2.5lbs. From there I hit another deep coontail area and we caught a couple more small bass. I then ran some docks that had been good to me in the past and another weedline and just a couple short fish. So I hit a small slop area that I h...
