ConAgra-Ralcorp deal speaks volumes
The brand-name food company buys the private label maker because it must -- the trend is too powerful not to.
Some decisions, some transactions say more about the U.S. economy than all of the Labor Department, Commerce Department and Agriculture Department combined. The decision by ConAgra (CAG) to buy Ralcorp (RAH) for $5 billion is one of those decisions.
ConAgra is a pretty good food company with lots of different household brands cobbled together over time that take advantage of an excellent supply chain and good relations with both supermarkets and restaurants -- read: McDonald's (MCD) -- alike. Its brands are known to you: Healthy Choice, Orville Redenbacher, Slim Jim, Hebrew National, Marie Callendar, Hunts, Wesson, Swiss Miss, Pam, Chef Boyardee. They are brands that were in your mom's cabinets, and they will be brands that are going to be in your kids' cabinets.
But something happened to brands in the Great Recession. Many of them have lost their cachet -- in part because the makers of the brands have taken price up year after year after year to please stockholders and in part because the big supermarket chains haven't been able to make as much selling them as they once did.
The combination of the endless jacking up of selling prices, and the smaller profit margins for the stores that sell them has led to a situation in which the consumer feels pinched and the supermarket feels priced out.
Enter private label.
At one point, private label came in black and white cans. The supermarkets tried to adopt the equivalent of the pipe and rack outlet store for a Filene's or a Loehmann's or maybe a Marshall's. The idea was to say, "Look at me, I am cheaper than the other stuff. Buy me."
Instead it had another connotation when it came to the register, "Look at me, I am out of work, and I am struggling." Further, when it came home, your family said, "This doesn't taste as good as the brands, but you get what you pay for."
Along the way, though, we got an evolution of thinking. First, the shopping club concept emerged, Costco (COST) being the prime example. The company, which announced a $7 special dividend Wednesday, has been at the vanguard of providing a private-label brand that is no longer questioned as being inferior to the branded product. In fact, I am sure that, judging by how few people balked at paying higher club member prices, the Kirkland brand might be considered superior to the big-time branded products. Plus, they are more lucrative to the store itself because the gross margins are gigantic vs. the heavily advertised packaged good product.
- Also see: Morning market stir
Then came a recognition that if the store bought product that just looked more like the heavily promoted product, a la Perrigo, in the drug store, it would become more popular given its reduced price tag.
The final evolution? Supermarkets now try to outdo the branded product in packaging not just price. When you get to the checkout counter, you now look smarter than the other guy, and very few believe there is a compromise in terms of quality.
Given a world where 47 million of the people in this country are on food stamps, up dramatically from just a few years ago, a world where value-buying is now considered a necessity for many and clever by everyone else, having a private-label brand has become the most important way to grow your company if you are still in the consumer packaged goods business.
ConAgra's new hybrid model addresses this new world head on. You have some branded in the categories you are certain can't be knocked off easily. And you have superior quality private label in places as widespread as Wal-Mart (WMT), the dollar stores, Costco and Trader Joe's, because the gulf in this country between rich and poor demands it for survival's stake.
So ConAgra buys Ralcorp because it must buy Ralcorp. The trend's too powerful not to. Because the world we live in is more of a Tale of Two Cities than we realize, and both cities are fed up with paying more for the same exact product simply for well-known labels. It's an irreversible pattern and CEO Gary Rodkin, perhaps the most perceptive of the branded execs, knows all too well that you capitalize on it or you eventually fade away.

Here's what caught Rob Williams' eye:
Calls began to pour into the Norfolk PD on Wednesday, on reports of a lion on the loose!
Police officials immediately called the Virginia Zoo to confirm that both of its lions were secure and accounted for.
Turns out that the "vicious lion" is a 3-year-old labradoodle!
Charlie's owner, Daniel Painter, shaved the pup in order for him to play the part of an unofficial mascot for Old Dominion University.

A Mediterranean grill in Peachtree Corners had its food permit suspended after receiving a second failing inspection score because management did not document how long food items had been left out on the buffet.
At Dalia's Grill, 6135 Peachtree Parkway, items at the cold bar and steam table are kept under time control to ensure food safety. However, management did not have any written procedures or time documentation showing how long the prepared food had been left out.
It was Dalia's third consecutive violation of time control health codes. The restaurant was given a 53/U, its second failing routine inspection score in the past six months.
Some cold foods were left out and the proper temperatures were not maintained.
Manager Salah Naser said he had pulled fresh ingredients out of the cooler to prepare salads and the food temperatures rose above the 41-degree limit.
"Some salads take half an hour to prepare and you can't control the temperature," said Naser, a 52-year veteran in the restaurant business. "You have rules and you want to be real strict with them, but it doesn't work that way in the business."
In other code violations, an employee was observed using bare hands to pull food out of a hot meat dish, then threw it back in. Another employee handled a lettuce leaf with bare hands then put it back into a batch of lettuce. Both the meat dish and the lettuce were discarded.
The restaurant was also out of compliance with food storage codes. Raw chicken was stored above tomatoes. Raw ground beef and raw eggs were placed above cut vegetables, spinach and broth.
The restaurant will re-open after a follow-up inspection, Naser said.
Here are other recent inspection scores from area restaurants.

Fulton County

It's no secret California lawmakers are making tough decisions to balance the state's budget, and now their cuts could impact your vacation plans.
California State Parks announced Friday a plan to close up to 70 of their 278 parks around the state. The closures will translate to a $11 million reduction for the 2011-2012 fiscal year, and another $22 million the next year.
State Parks used information from three areas to decide which parks should close, including protecting significant natural and cultural resources, maintaining public access and revenue generation, and protect closed parks so they can remain usable to future visitors.
Despite the large number of parks slated to close, State Parks say the remaining parks make up 92% of current attendance and 94% of current revenue generation.
Next time, be the first to know. FOX40 breaks news and shares stories like this with our Facebook friends and Twitter followers.
The following parks are slated to close in the next two years:
Anderson Marsh SHP

Bale Grist Mill SHP
Benbow Lake SRA
Benicia Capitol SHP
Benicia SRA
Bidwell Mansion SHP

eLangdell ebook files are free to download. But even more importantly, they lack all DRM.
While your options are limitless for how to read non-DRM files, publishing ebooks that are not locked-down actually makes support a little challenging. The ebook technology landscape is changing rapidly and we're dealing with numerous devices and software, each with its own quirks.
So here's a list of frequently asked questions, but if these don't cover your issue, please contact us and include plenty of details like what browser version, operating system, or device you are using.
- Which file do I choose for my needs?
- What's an .epub?
- How do I use an .epub?
- Why did I get a .zip file instead of .epub?
- If I have an iPad, which file do I download?
- How do I transfer my ebook file from computer to iPad, Kindle, Nook or ereader device?
- Can I download ebooks directly to my iPad, iPhone, or other device?
- How do I view ebooks on a PC or Mac?
- What's a .mobi file?
- If I have an Amazon Kindle, which file do I download?
- What's the difference between eLangdell content and Commons Content?
Which file do I choose for my needs?
Let's say you want...
- a version of the eBook file that is printable and most resembles print, with static page numbering, and you do not want to edit its content. PDF
- to read the eBook on your iPad, Nook, or nearly any non-Kindle device. ePub (ePubs even work on "your computer with a number of free software)
- to read the eBook on your Kindle. Mobi
- an easy way to edit or customize the content of the file for redistribution to students, or for other non-commercial uses. Word (edit the file then distribute to your students however you like, including eLangdell Commons)
What's an .epub file?
An .epub file is a type of file designed especially for ebooks and ereaders. It's most notably the format of choice for iBooks, iPads, iPhones, and Apple devices. Epub files do not work on Kindles. For that you'll need the .mobi.
How do I use an .epub?
If you'd like to use our .epubs, you can use one of many combinations of compatible ebook devices along with software and/or mobile apps. While fancy devices like iPads are pricey, ebook reader software is available for free for most widely-used devices like smartphones and computers.
To read an .epub on your PC or Mac computer, you'll need to download and install software, most of which is free. Nook's desktop app for either PC or Mac works well.
Why did I get a .zip file instead of .epub?
We've found that a few Windows machines take our .epubs and, inexplicably, rename the .epub file extension .zip. None of our ebook files should come to you in .zip format. If you're seeing a .zip file, it's an error.
The easiest way to fix this is by renaming your file from XXXX.zip back to XXXX.epub. Then make sure you open the .epub file with an epub-compatible software or device.
If I have an iPad, which file do I download?
The .epub version.
Can I download ebooks directly to my iPad, iPhone, or other Apple device?
Yes, if you're on an iPad, iPhone, or other internet-capable mobile Apple device you can download the .epub directly to your device, effectively bypassing the computer download and transfer process. You must have the standard iBooks app. Just use your device's Safari browser to browse to the .epub download link and download the .epub like normal. Your iPad or iPhone will ask you if you would like to open in iBooks (which you do).
How do I transfer my ebook file from computer to iPad, Kindle, Nook or ereader device?
This varies greatly depending on which device you use. This one minute video shows how to easily transfer your .epub to an iPad; it also applies to iPhones and iPod Touches. Here's an equally short video on how to transfer a .mobi to a Kindle. Here's a not-quite-as-concise video for how to transfer .epubs to Nook.
Do some searching around the web for how to transfer the file to your specific device and you'll likely find similar videos and how-tos. Don't hesitate to contact us if you're having issues with the transfer.
How do I view ebooks on a PC or Mac?
We recommend the .epub version. But first, you'll need to install a compatible software like Nook's desktop apps or even the Firefox extension EPUBreader.
More .epub-compatible software options, some of which also read .mobis, can be found in Wikipedia's .epub software listing. Look around and experiment with different options. Find which one works best for you.
What's a .mobi file?
A .mobi, like an .epub, is a file extension designed especially for ebooks; but mostly for the Amazon Kindle.
You can read .mobi files on your PC or Mac with certain software; but we usually recommend using the .epub version in most instances unless you're transferring your book to a Kindle.
If I have an Amazon Kindle, which file do I download?
The .mobi version.
What's the difference between eLangdell Content and Commons Content?
Here's a chart (click to enlarge):
Basically, eLangdell content is officially sanctioned content with CALI's seal of approval, including all of our original content created by CALI or created specifically for eLangdell by one of our authors. It is linked directly from the eLangdell homepage.
eLangdell Commons content, on the other hand, is mostly user-generated content. CALI does not commission or pre-approve any Commons content. If you see the eLangdell Commons logo in the upper left, you know you're in the Commons section of the site. We encourage legal educators to share their syllabi, presentation materials, coursepacks, and notes through the eLangdell Commons. The Commons is also a great way for faculty to distribute their personally customized, edited eLangdell content to their students (really, it's ok...eLangdell content has a creative commons license).

Jessica & Jered's Solar-Heated, Stylish Home
Green Tour
Name: Jered and Jessica Bogli
Location: NE Portland, Oregon
Size: 3600 sq ft
Years lived in: 3ish
Jessica and Jered's abode is as environmentally conscious as it is luxurious. With its roof-top solar-collectors that provide heat 10 months of the year, the overflowing edible garden and the outside/inside use of lovely porch space, this home embodies high-end green style.
Jessica and Jered came upon their extraordinary space a few years ago after Jessica repeatedly jogged by building project. The couple had been searching for a unique space and when the builder, noted for his sustainable practices, said he no longer wanted it for himself, and would Jessica and Jered be interested, Jessica stopped in her tracks and the rest is history. Within a few hours, their offer was accepted and they were the new owners of a very stylish, open home. That was one fortuitous run that Jessica set out on! Since moving in about three years ago, Jered and Jessica have decorated with a mixture of hi/lo mid-century furniture and objects (bought, collected, and found, i.e., the tree stump in the living room was claimed by Jered after a photo shoot he worked on!). They favor simple lines, artwork discovered in odd places — old notes, hand painted skateboard decks and old coloring books are framed and look great — and sweet personal details such as mini bicycle figurines.
One noticeable aspect of this fabulous home is how open the space is. With floor to ceiling glass doors lining most of the rooms, facing porches and the garden, the outside and inside co-exist on one and the same plane. This is such a great way to spend time, with doors wide open or napping in a hammock attached to the deck. These glass doors, coupled with the giant windows and large tree in the yard, keep the house cool in the summer and cozy in the winter. The home's insulation is made from recycled blue jeans. The eight solar collectors on the roof provide the home with heat for about 10 months of the year and hot water year round. A rooftop garden of native plants also help to cool the home in the warm weather months and absorb much of the Portland rain fall. Jered and Jessica love to garden and the beds Jered built out of imposing steel are 'dog proof.' Meaning, their rottweiler Oliver, "a vegetable lover," can't dig in the just-out-of reach beds. The garden has a modern, structured sense balanced by all the organic plants.
Jessica and Jered, a school-health-education consultant and graphic designer at Nike, are committed to many green practices within their lifestyle as well as in their home. An avid skateboarder and bicyclist, Jered would rather be outside in the elements on either of these modes of transportation than traveling by car. The couple often cook for large groups of friends, Middle-eastern and Thai food, with the produce they grow themselves. Both being from the East Coast originally, they have embraced the relaxed vibe of the West and emphasis on sustainability. Their home is a reflection of their love of great design, which just so happens to be green. Jessica and Jered have created a space that inspires creativity and good times. Join us on a tour!

I LOVE seeing vintage posters in homes - particularly green homes! - as a vintage poster dealer I often tell clients and potential clients that these wonderful pieces of ephemera can go ANYWHERE and this story is one I will point them to as an illustration of that! Great use of space, and great use of posters!!

hi, who was the builder? it's a great house...
Love everything in this home. Way to go, fellow Portlanders! Dumbest question ever: Where have you hidden the power source for your arco lamp? We have a floating arrangement in our living room as well, and I wanted to put a floor lamp behind the couch, but I am stumped by what to do with the cord! Tricks? Secrets? Suggestions?
Another stupid question: where are those glass and metal containers from? I've been looking for a nice set of slimmer containers to fit in my kitchen and have had no luck so far since I refuse to use plastic!
kewl :)
i like your home, esp the exterior + the front garden. except for the solar panels sticking up.
are your windows always open to the neighbours like that? i do see you have rollers, in general i couldn't have neighbours looking into my home.
What green roof system or assembly did you use?
There are a couple outlets in the floor and that is where the power for the arco lamp comes from.
The metal and glass containers are... uh.. either cost plus world market or Ikea... pretty sure cost plus.
We keep the windows open most of the time. Yeah it is like living in a fishbowl. We've all got the same parts so nobody should be too shocked to see me in my underware holding a cup of coffee!
The builder was Darryl Erlandson http://stumpenergy.com/home/
The architect was Brian White: http://www.architecturew.com/
Where did they buy the blue jean insulation? What is the cost?
How on earth is "no south facing windows" considered a "green feature" in Portland? Perhaps in Texas, but not here. In the summer months, the sun doesn't come from the south, it's east/west and overhead. In the winter, if one is lucky enough to have some sun, one would appreciate that solar heating. When one looks at this house and its site placement, the lack of south facing windows is one of its failings, not a feature.

The content of the O'Reilly Factor was recently analyzed and compared against "rhetorical techniques identified as elements of propaganda by the now-defunct research group Institute for Propaganda Analysis". The findings indicate that host Bill O'Reilly called someone a name almost 9 times a minute.
Philippe Chancel's photos of North Korea. "No country, no regime, past or present, has ever conceived such an environment of ubiquitous propaganda, not even those who instigated or experienced the marxist-leninists revolutions of the last century. Not even Nazi Germany." (via conscientious)
Art and genocide...why doesn't Soviet and Communist Chinese propaganda imagery offend us like Nazi propaganda does? The Stalinist and Maoist regimes were responsible for more deaths than the Nazis.
A collection of almost 1500 Soviet and Russian propaganda and advertising posters. (thx, mark)
The Competitive Enterprise Institute has produced two TV ads critical of the global scientific and political consensus on global warming. "Carbon dioxide. They call it pollution. We call it life." CEI is funded in part by energy companies, but I guess they're not that well funded because that's some of the most laughable propaganda I've ever seen. (thx, kyle)
Clip of Dj Spooky's "Rebirth of a Nation", a remix of D.W. Griffith's "Birth of a Nation" adapted from a Ku Klux Klan propaganda piece.
The super amazing brain and abilities of North Korean leader Kim Jong-il. "Kim pilots jet fighters, pens operas, produces movies and accomplished a feat unmatched in the annals of professional golf by shooting 11 holes-in-one on the first round he ever played."

Republicans don't need a new political strategy. They need a new economic strategy. There are problems with the old capitalistic system. Republicans need to acknowledge that and update it to give far more people a better opportunity to get rich. If you don't, you're never going to win another election and the country will go off the cliff. You can improve the capitalist system without redistribution of wealth!

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) won't be the only 2012 presidential hopeful to weigh in on the topic of Texas seceding from the union. In the wake of President Obama's reelection victory, conservatives submitted several sore loser petitions to a White House website permitting citizens to petition the Obama Administration and receive a response if they garner at least 25,000 signatures on their petition. A petition calling upon the administration to "[p]eacefully grant the State of Texas to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own NEW government" received the required signatures, and thus will receive a response. We anticipate the Obama Administration's views on Texas secession will be very different than Mr. Perry's initial sympathy for Texas secession — although Perry has since backed off that sympathy.

Bicycling, in-line skating and skateboarding have many health benefits: They improve balance, strengthen the heart, lung and leg muscles, and burn calories. You and your child can get lifelong pleasure out of bike riding, in-line skating and skateboarding, but it's important to instill good safety habits in your children before you let them roll away.
Follow these safety rules to help make sure your bike ride is injury-free:
It is important to ride a bike that is the right size for you. Be sure it's not too big or too hard to ride. You should be able to put the balls of your feet on the ground when sitting on the seat.
Helmets come in a variety of sizes, styles, colors and prices. Whatever helmet you decide to buy, be sure it's approved by US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Approved helmets will have a label on the inside of the helmet showing it meets strict safety standards.
Some helmets are multi-sport, which can be used for in-line-skating, skateboarding, bicycling or other wheel sports. Helmets specifically called "bicycle helmets" are designed only for biking.
Your helmet fits properly if:
Even experienced in-line skaters can crash and be injured. Please follow these tips to stay safe while skating:
When riding a skateboard, please follow these skateboard safety tips:
Skateboards should never be used on the street. Even experienced skateboarders can fall, so learning how to fall safely can help keep you from being seriously injured.

Summary: When Vince heads out to sunny L.A. to go to college, he feels like he is finally going to be able to leave his shady family and their illegal antics behind. Once he arrives at school, he is paired up with the son of a prominent congressman as a roommate-finally some respectability! Not to mention that the girls in college are something else. With his girlfriend, Kendra, giving him such a hard time, Vince is beginning to wonder if single life is the way to go.

Oldham is wonderful with excellent for honest and hardworking people but I do agree some areas have gang culture which gives bad name to Oldham Ilyas - Sun 20 Mar 2011 1:34 am
I agree with most of the comments about Oldham. We have all been badly let down!! No cinema, no market (unless your Asian), no employment, no spirit, no future and no hope. If this is what politics does to a town then you can keep it. Oldham reflects most towns in the North West but for me it's the worst of the worse. I have tried so hard not to be racist but the politicians have forced multiculturism on this town. Where do we integrate apart from the odd visit to the Indian curry house!! Where's all the asian fans at the footy on a saturday afternoon? The face of Oldham has changed beyond belief and on the few times I visit the town centre, I get depressed. Poor education, poor housing, working class nah there's no f*****g jobs! Underclass yes!! A generation badly let down!!!

eh who's this captain saying about b and bs there are some excellent guest houses and hotels in Blackpool many who DO NOT buy cheap food from Aldi While i do tend to agree about the undesirables but just go up to the North end its lovely and quiet and clean we spend many weekends there in some great hotels WITH EN SUITE and more then his so called £10 a night too but worth every penny Annabelle - Sun 20 Jun 2010 12:22 pm

Oldham was great until it was taken out of Lancashire and put in the silly creation of Greater Manchester. Now it has lost its identity and is seen by many just a suburb of Manchester. Manchester gets all the developments whilst Oldham gets none. Then you have the people of Chadderton who used to have strong Oldham accents.. now they just speak like mancunians.... its a crying shame P Bates - Fri 07 May 2010 9:55 pm
Like most of the commentators on this site i was born in Oldham and still have
great affection for the town, i often ask myself if distance is lending enchantment,
of course if you dont live in oldham day to day it does.
This was never a pretty town, never a town of culture, its saving grace was, warm people with good manners and a certain pride in themselves, in the 60s and 70s i would have brought any stranger to Oldham and would expect them to receive a warm welcome and to be treated with respect.
Todays Oldham has no working class it has a underclass ,a group of people who owe no allegiance to any part of society, so different that we no longer have anything in common with them, badly brought up, badly educated, badly misled about the nature of the modern world.
i do agree with one of the points made above, that is that older people are starting to judge young people as a group and not as individuals, i know this is wrong and i have
been caught out owning this point of view.
Who is at fault, us daft governments and people who say, "wouldnt it be nice if everyone was nice to each other"we all remember what happened to the last man who said that, they nailed him to a tree.
As regards asians, i always found hindus to be wonderful people, they keep their
culture but fit in, muslims seem to have no interest in, or find any value in the society they have chosen to live in, that said, who would want their children to have the same values as the Oldham underclass.
Oldham council are useless, you and i know they are, the market is nearly gone and that was the only reason people from out of town would come there, in a few years it will be gone and then why would anyone come to shop at the same places available in any town.
Unless we change its over, forget politics, forget the stupid people who have run our affairs for years, for gods sake lets do something.
A town can survive a loss of industry but no town can survive an amputation of its spirit, confident people and towns are more understanding of strangers and immigrants, more able to find value in the exotic.
As the man said, "The past is another country, they do things differently there". Best regards from South Africa

Not all people from Manchester are rude, most people are warm and friendly. It's just like anywhere else. If you think it's that bad come visit Dundee where i live people here are rude to the extreme even though we are meant to be a friendly city I see different. Michelle - Sat 20 Feb 2010 10:45 am
I have lived in or near to oldham all my life and i feel like we are being taken over by outsiders a bit more every day there is nothing to do here other than go and get drunk as i am not really a drinker it is very boring for me the only other thing to do is walk around the town center like a zombie most of the shops are crap and the market is a joke its almost a no go area for white people some people wont like me saying that but i can't help it if its true enoch powell right simon turner - Fri 19 Feb 2010 10:40 pm
Oldham is now a dump. I was born and raised there and used to be proud of all the "firsts" there, and the people used to be second to none. Now when I visit the UK I go to Rochdale and give Oldham a wide berth. It is sad and I hate to say it, but the multi cultural experiments have been a dismal failure. In retrospect I believe that we should all have listened to Enoch Powell. J de Wit - Sun 14 Feb 2010 2:12 am

Still living away from Preston but still feeling the call to go back there. When I last left a message I was bemoaning the fact that Prestonbus had been taken over by Stagecoach. Now I hear they might have to sell it again - another incentive for me to return! However, what's happened to PNE - from promising beginnings, they've started to slide down the table. Let's hope Irvine can drag them back up again. bob dilworth - Tue 08 Dec 2009 7:54 pm

I have lived in Oldham (moorside) for the past 10 years.

I have lived in Oldham all my life. Like so many others of my age (58)I always held my heritage in high regard. That heritage is being systematically destroyed by this & past councils in an attempt to find a "new brand" The sight of the Tonn Hall looking down majestically onto the 2nd rate developments that surround it will bring a tear to many a proud eye. Although they tell us continuously how good race relations now are I must admit to feeling like a Man Utd fan playing away in Turkey the last time I went t,Town.There is no joy, which is always essential in hard times.Oldhams people have been badly let down by self serving politicians.

I live on the sholver housing estate near moorside. A few years ago I visited stockport. I never knew how bad oldham was unil i visted there. there arnt gangs roaming the street in the early hours there arnt drug dealers and underage pregnant girls wandering down the street with a fag in there hand. Oldham is a s***hole i am sad to say and now getting worse. Fights And stabbings yorkshire street brought in panorama. And there has just been a few drug related shootings taking two young mens lives and i hear people are coming up from manchester to fight with the drug dealers round here. This talk breaks my heart. Oldham in the 70s was brill so i hear. This place needs a clean up fast.

I was born in springhead and still live there today (although I am only 19). I hate Oldham. I think there is a lot of negative energy between ethnic groups, and between the older and younger generations. Being a clever kid, (not that i'm boasting but I have good gcse's and a-levels) it's hard when most of my age group are pregnant, taking drugs or just generally disrespectful to everyone, including themselves. These peers make the older generation (especially around Saddleworth) think we are all the same. Which does annoy me slightly as I feel i'm a good person and after working in the Drs surgery in Uppermill for a few months it horrifies me to find out how rude older people can be when they see a young person behind the desk. I think Oldham is a shambles. It's getting rougher and rougher by the minute and all I can say is thank god i'm going to University this year to get away from it. Although, there are good people in Oldham and people who genuinly want
to get on in life. It's just a shame more people can't get up off their bums, get jobs, get proper lives and stop living in world of poverty and crime. I hope the older ones of you read this and realise that there are good young people in Oldham. It's just the odd ones that spoil it for the rest of us. We need more police, and people claiming benefits should be given jobs in the community to help make Oldham a better place. It's the people who make a town and it's only those people who can make it a nicer place to live and a town to be proud of.

Lived in Preston for about 3 years. Did my University there and worked for William hill. Can't stop myself to mention that it is a great place to live and to enjoy the night life. In a span of 3 years, I have made so many friends around.. miss them all and miss the place.. hope to come back when i get a chance at least to see everything again.
VKuchi - Fri 21 Aug 2009 4:33 pm
I was born and educated in Oldham, have lived and worked in this town all my life (69 years) so I feel more than qualified to say that in my own personnel opinion, Oldham like many other rough northern towns has slowly but surely sunk into a large cesspit of it's own making. The rot seemed to have started around the 1980s and is fast getting worse with no end in sight. The clowns who think that moving the rail track 500 yards nearer the town centre will be the towns saviour must be barmy. What can Oldham offer any visitor other than the weekend loonies to join the band of crackpots, drug dealers and trouble makers that we already have on Yorkshire st. I cannot afford to rid myself of this town or indeed I would. Again my opinion is that the influx of various ethnics and religions has not been beneficial in any way or form, in fact they have exasperated the situation along with our home grown jerks. It is very sad to see a once proud town made by a once pr
oud people, to end up being a huge s*** pit.

Born in Beckett Street. Raised a 1/4 mile from the Town Hall.
What a wonderful town with a lotta countryside just calling you to come and play. The Giants Head below Raikes Lane and Monkey's Temple (Underground Chambers),
Nobody knew where the temple was.
The Cut and the Ivy Road Valley.
The Pubs of note. British Queen, Yates Wine Lodge, Balmoral the Derby Street pub crawl from Bradshawgate to Daubhill. And the 5 Finger Spread (generally in a Taxi ). All made life more exciting.
The Lilly Whites home or away. Bolton had it all. Although I don't get back often it is always a pleasure. Philadelphia is great but Bolton will always be..... HOME

Avalanche at Oilers, G68/08-09
In the long history of a sports franchise, there are usually only a few sharp turns and building is a slow, slow process. I think you have to be a real fan to endure years and years of hardship or stupidity before someone arrives with clarity, direction and a big pot of blind, dumb luck.
Early in their existence the Quebec Nordiques were a good team, a championship calibre team. I used to collect WHA cards and watch the TV games and the Nords quickly became a recognizable brand. The Vancouver Blazers and the Ottawa Nationals might come and go, but the Nordiques had people everyone recognized on their team and they won hockey games too.
The second stanza would be the early NHL years, and for Quebec it was a time of smart drafts, the Stastny's and trying to beat the Habs to the top of the division. The third (and final Quebec) stanza involved being bad enough to draft high and being lucky in that the Lindros trade went Philly's way.
The most successful movement in the piece came in Denver, the Sakic era. Led by Burnaby Joe and one of the most unique players in the game's history (Forsberg), the Avalanche won two Stanley's (1996 and 2001) and were also noteworthy in that if they got to the dance they won it.
The fifth change is the one we're in now. Sakic can't do the chores and Forsberg's achilles has been found, the Avalanche have good players but they're hurt or struggling and the club is wasting some very good seasons by veterans (including a very nice season by Ryan Smyth).
If I'm an Avalanche fan, my bet is that the Denver side is pushing for a division title before the Oildrop. Clarity and direction are powerful things.

Review: Attack of the Friday Monsters takes us back to a time when giant monsters were king
There was a time when giant monsters (Kaiju) ruled young boys' imaginations in Japan, thanks to a stream of various Tokusatsu shows, like Super Sentai (or Power Rangers in the west). These shows took various real-life catastrophies, like pollution, and put them into monster form so kids would be able to relate. Attack of the Friday Monsters! A Tokyo Tale takes us back to that time, and... Read More

During the 80s and 90s they were on top of the charts. But, in the mid 90s Restless Heart split, the five band members saying they'd had enough.
Fortunately for fans, the band came back together in 2002, and they've been touring ever since.
"It's the original five guys. It's just really an honor to still be together. Hit the stage, play and sing together," said lead singer Larry Stewart.
We caught up with Stewart at the Las Vegas airport. Via Skype, he told us what fans can expect Friday night at Restless Heart's concert.
"People are going to hear over 25 years of Restless Heart music, some new stuff, of course all the old hits. We're having a great time. I hear it's a great venue and performing arts center."
Next year, the band will celebrate 30 years. Stewart says Restless Heart is anything but restless on the stage.
"We're recording two, three different projects for our 30th anniversary and really having a great time doing it," said Stewart. "Probably more fun than we've ever had because we know what's important. We know what we're doing. We know each other and how to do this."

Slow summer days
I'm trying so hard not to rush this summer away. People (husband, brother, even the damn piano teacher) are always telling me: slow down, girl! what's the rush?
As for that, I have no answer. What can I say - I'm a girl on the move, for what that's worth. Bouncing from one to the next, never satisfied unless another 8 projects are lined up, and then usually overwhelmed which does nothing productive but inevitably results in an increase in speed. Watch out world - Jorth is coming and she can't slow down! Who gave her a license? (nobody, thank heavens. Imagine me on the road? Shudder) When God was handing out life philosophies, he definitely grabbed one from the ant basket for me. No singing the summer away like the slothful grasshopper for me. Heck, one might enjoy themselves that way. Must. Go. On. Always. Full. Speed!
Except for this summer. A nasty bug that hit over Christmas and has lingered, casting both a pall over new year and the gift of an prescription script has meant a lot less zooming by yours truly. And loathe as I am to admit to myself, I'm actually enjoying it. Sleeping in past eight, and dribbling on the pillow. Spending a whole splendid afternoon doing nothing but knitting on the couch. Sprawling on the bed in the heat creeping in from the bedroom window despite the drawn blind, and lazily devouring a book. Heck, I'm even savouring the cracked heels and chipped sparkly nail polish from too many hours in the local pool doing the slowest breaststroke laps you ever will see.
Besides, it won't be long before Grumbles will be spending her summers hanging out with friends, leaving her poor old mum behind in her own speedy dust. I've gotta make the most of this time while I still can because one day she won't want to spend a summer with me playing Lego Friends, ramming tokens into the Connect Four set, making pancakes on the weekend morns. I've gotta grab this summer with both hands, and enjoy it. Slowly and deliberately.

I'm tired of the stress, I'm going clubbing with the girls tonight. Yeah, I may hurt tomorrow.. or probably longer, but it will be worth it.
Well, my body hurts, of course. I am stressed… but not? I don't know how to explain it. I am having a good time though. I'm going clubbing tonight with 2/3 of my roommates. It was one of their birthdays yesterday, so we're REALLY celebrating tonight. I'm pretty excited to get around and have a good time. It's nice being single, so I don't feel bad for dancing and flirting with other guys. I feel FREE! But, hopefully my body is okay with my escapades. :D

Must purchase the spin on adapter that matches the filter thread on your vehicle. Without filter elements - 2 required. For use with EaBP90, EaBP100 or EaBP110 Element.

See the By-Pass Replacement Parts Lists
BMK23 Installation and Servicing Instructions
The Ea By-Pass Oil Filter (EaBP) provides the best possible filtration protection against wear and oil degradation. Working in conjunction with the engine's full-flow oil filter,
the AMSOIL Ea By-Pass Filter operates by filtering oil on a "partial-flow" basis. It draws approximately 10 percent of the oil pump's capacity at any one time and traps the extremely small,
wear-causing contaminants that full-flow filters can't remove. The AMSOIL Ea Bypass Filter typically filters all the oil in the system several times an hour, so the engine continuously receives analytically clean oil.
Higher Efficiency
AMSOIL EaBP Filters have an efficiency of 98.7 percent at two
microns. At normal operating RPMs the EaBP Filter will filter all of
the oil in a typical five quart sump in less than 10 minutes.
Superior Construction
The superior construction of AMSOIL EaBP Filters provides better sealing
and increased longevity along with superior corrosion resistance.
AMSOIL EaBP Filters have a marine powder coated exterior; and
their zinc-dichromate base plates increase rust protection. EaBP
Filters have a nitrile HNBR gasket and an orange silicone anti-drain
valve. The two stage pleated and layered cellulose/full synthetic
media has an efficiency rating of 98.7 percent at two microns.
Longer Lasting
When used in conjunction with AMSOIL motor oil and an AMSOIL EaO or Donaldson Endurance™ filter, the EaBP90, 100 and 110 Filters should be changed every other full-flow filter change up to 60,000 miles or one year whichever comes first. When used with other brands of motor oil or full-flow filters, the EaBP Filter should be changed every other full-flow filter change. AMSOIL recommends using oil analysis when extending oil drain intervals.
AMSOIL recommends changing the EaBP120 every other full-flow filter change up to 90,000 miles or one year whichever comes first. Extended oil drain intervals should always be accompanied by an oil analysis program.
Increased Oil Capacity
The increased fluid system capacity and filtration
life provides improved oil cooling and ensures that
equipment constantly runs on clean oil. Engine efficiency
is increased, providing extended engine life.
Soot Removal
AMSOIL has designed a high-efficiency
by-pass filter element that is also a soot removal
device. AMSOIL Ea By-Pass Filters use a synthetic/cellulose sandwiched media. The inner
layer of the element is composed of a highly efficient
cellulose media covered with a full synthetic
media outer layer. These filters remove 39 percent
of soot contaminants less than one micron.
Soot removal efficiency increases approximately
10 to 14 percent when the EaBP Filter is used in conjunction with a standard full-flow filter.
By-Pass Filtration Benefits
BK299When ordering the BMK23:
- Spin-on Adapter BP402M is designed for 2008-Present Chevrolet 1500 & 2500 gas engines.
For your convenience, AMSOIL offers Ea Oil Filters guaranteed for up to
15,000 miles or up to 25,000 miles, depending on application,
when used with AMSOIL synthetic motor oil.

The gender breakdown shows that 45 percent of the class of 2009 are male and 55 percent are female. The class also boasts 16 percent first generation college students, up from 13 percent last year. Despite the colleges efforts to increase diversity at St. Olaf, 10 percent of the students are multicultural, down slightly from 11 percent last year.
The college reports two high school grade point averages for the class of 2009, one reported and one adjusted.
The adjusted average removes weighted grades and non-core classes like badminton from calculation. This average is 3.65 for the incoming class, with 143 students having a perfect 4.0 adjusted GPA.
The average reported GPA, which includes weighted grades, is 3.77, with 250 students having a 4.0 or higher. The average class rank is in the eighty-ninth percentile, with 57 percent of the students graduating in the top 10 percent of their class.
The class SAT average is 1284, slightly up from last year, and the ACT average is 27.
Students that apply to St. Olaf tend to apply to the same other schools, called overlap schools.
"Our five major [overlap schools] in decreasing order are Gustavus, University of Minnesota, University of Wisconsin at Madison, University of St. Thomas and Carleton," said Michael Kyle, vice president and dean of enrollment.
Kyle is especially proud of the colleges commitment to enroll traditionally under-represented populations, which is exemplified by the increase from three percent to 16 percent of first-generation college students.
"We are distinctive in continuing our outreach to historically under-represented populations, [with respect to] multicultural and socio-economical [considerations, as well as attracting] first-generation college students and immigrant populations," Kyle said.
The diversity of the student body is just one consideration of the admissions office.
In trying to compete for the best applicants, "one of our strategies is to use the musical ensembles to promote St. Olaf on their tours," Kyle said. He explained that the college invited prospective students to St. Olaf ensemble concerts while they toured the United States. Prospective students could then meet current students and alumni.
"A lot of alums encourage potential students to apply here," Kyle said. "There is something to perpetuating a tradition."
In future years, St. Olaf hopes to attract students from outside the Midwest. "We are going to look harder in new places, [such as] Texas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Colorado, the Pacific Northwest and Northern California," said Kyle.
To encourage a more diverse enrollment, the Board of Regents has approved President Christopher Thomfordes plan to match the multicultural population of St. Olaf with the increasing multicultural population of the Upper Midwest.
"The goal is that fourteen percent of the student body will be multicultural by 2009," said Kyle.
Over the past 25 years, the student demographics have changed some, but not much. In 1981, 1,760 applicants were accepted and 800 of them enrolled. For the class of 2008, 3,118 were accepted, of which 785 enrolled.
In 1981, 64 percent of enrolled students were Lutheran; 50 percent are Lutheran in the class of 2008.
The average ACT score of 25 in 1981 has risen to 28 for the class of 2008.
The two to three percent of multicultural students in 1981 has increased to 11 percent in the class of 2008.
The percentage of students from Minnesota has dropped from 67 percent in 1981 to 57 percent for the class of 2008.
