I bought Tillamook and Hannaford ice cream yesterday, both French Vanilla. I wanted to do a taste test. Tillamook is definitely creamier, mainly because the main ingredient is cream, while milk fat comes first on the Hannaford label. Aside from the milk-related ingredients, Hannaford's has corn syrup and diglycerides. Tillamook has similar "extras," but not quite as many, although it does have the various gums, and it also has water.

As I said above, Tillamook is creamier, if that's what you want. Hannaford has more of what I would call texture. It's more chewable, while Tillamook is more drinkable. The taste of each one is very similar, and preference would be a matter of personal taste. They both tasted good to me.

The big difference is price. Hannaford costs $2.99, while Tillamook costs $6.16. As far as I'm concerned, Hannaford's ice cream is fine.

Hello all, I’ve been a photographer for 60 years. I have never owned a tripod. I always lived in the city and spent most of my time walking the streets. Recent health issues require I walk with a cane so I’m going to try my hand at landscape photography. I’ve watched a number of tripod shootouts on YouTube and I like the Sirui ST124 ST-Series Carbon Fiber Tripod with K-10X Arca-Type Ball Head. My question for anyone that has owned this is it worth $350? If not what would you suggest under $400? I’m six foot tall and my main camera is a Nikon D750. Thank you for the help. Marty

On the west coast of Florida, a little north of Tampa, lies the beautiful small town of Tarpon Springs. Around the turn of the century ( 1900's) The coastal waters in the area were discovered to be a superior production region for natural sponges. Because of this, word spread to Europe and many sponge divers...mostly from Greece...relocated to and around Tarpon Springs. Consequently, there is a large Greek population in the area.

The harvesting of sponges occurs mostly in waters 60 to 100 feet in depth. Some SCUBA diving is employed but the predominant means of collecting the sponges is performed by divers in full suits, metal helmets, with air supplied to the diver by long hoses. At the end of a day's diving, the collected " crop " is brought to the docks where it is graded for size and quality. It is then sold at the retail level or sold to the wholesale market. The town supports a nice museum dedicated to the industry.
