A Question of Ice
“Of late years, artificial ice has taken to some extent-largely in the Southern part of the United States-the place of the natural product, which I consider a very beneficial change, for the reason that the artificial cake comes in the same regular size, therefore, easier to pack and place away, more convenient and more wholesome, as it does not contain any impurities. Again, it does not produce as much slime as the natural ice and, therefore, when used behind the bar for mixing drinks, as well as in the restaurant for drinking water, it is preferable, and there is no difficulty in keeping it clear.”
My very favorite quote is the one on page 45 that starts out “The greatest accomplishment of a bartender lies in his ability to exactly suit his customer. . .” This is where Johnson shows us that he... Harry Johnson - gaz regan

...be the better option. - If your CSS has been added to by a number of different authors over time, look to tools like UnCSS to automate the removal of styles – doing that process by hand is no fun! - the battle for high performing CSS will not be won in the selectors used, it will be won with the judicious use of property and values - getting something painted to screen fast is obviously important but so is how a page feels when the user interacts with it.

By not letting that moment when he rushed Beck’s stage become a “Look at Kanye, he’s now just a playful guy” moment, he assured us that he’s still Kanye.

Update, 2/9 6:13 AM EST: Beck has offered his thoughts on the whole situation in an interview with Us Weekly. Turns out he was actually kind of stoked about the whole thing. "I was just so excited he was coming up. He deserves to be on stage as much as anybody," Beck told Us Weekly.

The day we hiked, about 50 people were stung by bees. Locals say that yellow jacket nest are quite numerous. If you decide to bushwack, please keep this in mind.
