Good morning Carol. Great choices once again. Thank you for including my post. Now for my score today. My success or failure is normally dependent upon whether I commented on Lou Ludwig's post. Today I did not and as a result it was a WIPEOUT. So it took some time on your post this morning to read them all. Thanks! Enjoy your day.

Fyi, fortunately the Feature filter still works on the blog page. I assume sooner or later the development team will fix the issue and we'll see all the "old" new features make it to the front page.
