What's with all those funny words?

That's why we send you the text first! The language of sailing seems very strange and takes some getting used too. You asked why? Well, if I told you to pull in "that line", which one would you pull? There can be many many lines (ropes) on a boat so each one has a specific name. In fact ALL parts on a boat have a specific name. It's confusing at first, but you will thank us later and impress your friends knowing what all those funny words mean!

The Tortoise Diet, Patty Church RN, BSN shares her real-life...
The story of the Tortoise and the Hare was, as you know, about a race. There are certainly a lot of “hare-brained” diets out there which invariably promise “quick and easy” weight loss, usually by means of starvation, deprivation and/or strenuous exercise. The problem with quick weight loss, however, is that it almost never lasts. That's because the "weight" being lost is primarily the loss of water and muscle, rather than the loss of stored body fat.

How is Hyde's name pronounced?

w i n t e r f a l l } . . . seeing in monochrome;
Just like it sounds. Hyde as in Jekyll and Hyde, or Hyde as in the game, hide and seek (not to be mistakened with the jrockers of the same names XD). Due to the Japanese language, Japanese fans pronunce it Haido, since that's how his name is written in katakana. However, if you're not a native Japanese speaker, it'll probably sound awkward if you try to pronounce Hyde's name the Japanese way o_O;

We even thought about how much Bee-Quick a typical beekeeper would need in a season, and how much everyone dislikes storing things between seasons. We tried to create the best-packaged product since comb honey!
