Gold rose to settle about $1,421 per ounce on Monday, supported by strong physical buying after last week hitting a two-year low, but investors reduced holdings of bullion in the top exchange-traded fund to the lowest in nearly three years.
The technical outlook for gold, which is down more than 15 percent this year, has yet to improve despite the physical buying in Asia and elsewhere.
Spot gold rose more than 2 percent to a session-high of $1,438.66 per ounce, more than $100 higher than a two-year low of $1,321 hit on April 16. It had trimmed those gains to $1,425 per ounce, still up 1.6 percent.
Gold posted its biggest-ever daily loss in dollar terms last Monday, shocking investors who have used gold as protection against inflation and other market risks.
But while investors fled the market, the price fall has released years of pent-up retail demand in the past week. Parents buying dowries, casual shoppers and tourists have snapped up bars, coins, nuggets and jewellery.
"Physical demand is giving the price a psychological boost, but don't think that could make up for the 65-tonne outflows from ETFs last week," Saxo Bank senior manager Ole Hansen said.
"The market is obviously looking for someone to show an interest to buy at these levels but it's quite a traditional set-up that we have a sell-off and then tentative recoveries the following days."
The U.S. Mint reported sales of gold coins to the public of 167,500 ounces so far in April, the highest level since May 2010, Barclays said in a note to clients.
"This highlights the dichotomy that has developed between retail and institutional investors," the bank said.
Analysts said they see the gold price gains as short-lived, however, as inflation, a key price driver, shows signs of easing in big economies.
Investors say it is likely that the U.S. Federal Reserve could soon end its bond-buying programme, which could ease inflationary pressure.
"Sure, the market is vulnerable to intense short covering ... while many physical players see these prices as very attractive indeed and will chase price dips," VTB analyst Andrey Kryuchenkov said. "However, we still believe the market went through a fundamental shift and that a sustained rebound ...is very unlikely."
Kryuchenkov said persistent physical interest is needed to support the metal at a time when investors prefer to stay away from the market.
Gold prices thrive in a high-inflation, low-interest rate environment, because this reduces the opportunity cost of holding a metal that pays no yield.
It had rallied to an 11-month high in October last year after the Fed announced its third round of aggressive economic stimulus, raising fears the central bank's money-printing to buy assets would stoke inflation.
U.S. gold futures hit an intraday high of $1,438.80 an ounce on Monday from the previous close of $1,395.60. The June delivery settled $25.60 higher at $1,421.20 per ounce.
ETF Outflows
Holdings of the largest gold-backed exchange-traded-fund, New York's SPDR Gold Trust, dropped 0.88 percent on Friday to their lowest level since March 2010.
Outflows from exchange-traded funds could indicate that investors are parking their money in assets other than gold, but last week's trading data from the United States also showed that funds had injected new money into gold futures.
Hedge funds and money managers raised their net longs in gold futures and options in the week to April 16, a report by Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) showed on Friday, as new money entered the market at lower prices.
"Given the speed and magnitude of the price decline on Friday and Monday (of last week), which is captured within these data, it would appear any positions of size that were instigated were quickly closed, whether it was long liquidation followed by fresh longs at lower levels or fresh shorts covered subsequently," Barclays said in a note to clients.
Gold prices have come under pressure in part due to a plan by Cyprus, unveiled this month, to sell excess gold reserves to raise around 400 million euros ($523 million), which led to speculation that other indebted euro zone countries might follow suit.
In other markets, the dollar strengthened towards the yen and the euro, while shares rose after the G20 accepted Japan's bold stimulus policies, helping to counter the gloom over the global growth outlook.
Other precious metals benefited from gold's gains, with silver up 1 percent at $23 an ounce and palladium up 1 percent at $678 per ounce. Platinum was up 0.7 percent at $1,432 an ounce.

Practically everything, beyond some familiar Mercedes Benz–supplied switchgear...more
Tesla, known for its Lotus-based electric Roadster, started from scratch with this effort. The aluminum chassis, the streamlined styling, and, most important, the battery-electric power source, were all internally developed. That motor will eventually come in four varieties that scale up in battery range—Tesla estimates the increments at 160, 230, and 300 miles—and straight-line performance. The top-of-the-line Model S Signature Performance will hit 60 mph in 4.4 seconds. It also handles extraordinarily well, a credit to the low center of gravity provided by the floor-mounted batteries and some fine chassis tuning. An enormous touch screen dominates a modern, austere cabin. There's plenty of room for five adults. If you opt for rear-facing third-row seats, two children can fit, too. Front and rear compartments offer plenty of room for luggage. All these qualities make the novel Model S a rather sensible alternative to the typical mid-size luxury sedan. Be mindful, though, that this is an unproven product from a young company. There's also the matter of recharging. Tesla is installing so-called superchargers throughout the country that can replenish a 300-mile range in only an hour, but a more typical 240-volt charger will need about five hours to accomplish the same feat.
Front head, knee, and pelvis air bags; rear side curtain air bags; ABS; stability control; and rollover and crash sensors (the latter disconnects the battery in an accident) are standard.

Smith, MD Official Launch & Author Appearance/Book Signing 11 am – 3 pm ET One of the most common questions Dr. Michael A.

In The Supplement Pyramid, Dr. Smith's new book available mid-March 2014, he covers the many reasons why even the healthiest diets fall short in terms of supplying the optimal amount of nutrients we need not just to survive, but also to thrive.

A Grand Night in the Bronx
Eat your heart out, Murderers' Row. Robinson Cano, Russell Martin and Curtis Granderson each hit a grand slam in last night's 22-9 thrashing of the Oakland Athletics, making the Yankees the first team in major league history to hit three grand slams in a game.
Cano ripped a low-and-inside splitter from Rich Harden over the right field fence in the fifth inning:
That's a bad location for Harden, considering that Cano typically crushes pitches low and at the knees:
The Yankees second baseman is slugging .778 on pitches thrown down and in, which ranks in the top 10 among MLB hitters.
One inning later, Martin hit an opposite-field shot on a high 96 MPH fastball thrown by Fautino De Los Santos:
As was the case with Cano, Martin's blast came on a pitch thrown to one of his hot spots in the zone:
Perhaps the most surprising aspect of Martin's granny is that he went the opposite way. Just four of the righty batter's 69 career home runs had been hit to the opposite field prior to last night, yet his grand slam was his second opposite-field homer of the night (he also took Harden deep in the fourth frame).
Granderson made history in the eighth, golfing a low 94 MPH Bruce Billings fastball to right-center field:
Ranking second in the majors in home runs and slugging percentage, Granderson is scorching pitches thrown just about anywhere in 2011...
...but he's killing fastballs like no one else. Granderson has a major league-best .771 slugging percentage and 24 homers against heaters. Mark Teixeira ranks a distant second in homers vs. fastballs, with 19.

OMG that's too much.
First off, them bovines got what's coming to them. Ask bijou. She knows.
I need follow up. Did the antlers prevent more alien abduction or not?
It's true. Aliens are actually protecting us.
Some cows discover secret of fire and set own barn alight. Their plan backfired as no humans were injured.It baffles me why this is not running on CNN 24 hours a day.More cows discover the secret of fire and set their own hay barn alight. Result! Three people suffered smoke-inhalation injuries and were taken to hospital.
cuz camouflage wont let heat sensors pick up the cows....So reminds me of the Bugblatter beast of Trall
Of course you all know that "Mad Cow Disease" was a government coverup of a collaboration with aliens in new methods of mind contol.
I think I remember reading that on DU, so it must be true.

'saw the boys at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Hollywood this past August. It was the third time seeing them in this fabulous venue. They totally rocked the dump! I brought two friends that had never seen Skynyrd live before. They were blown away to say the least. I am happy to say I've been watchin' and listenin' to Skynyrd since 1974. I saw them play the first time in Detroit in 1976 with their hot new player 'Steve Gaines'. It's 34 years later and I love them all even more today. Can't wait for them to return to Calif in 2011. Rock on Boys.... Rock on!

The Evasion jailbreak for iPhones running iOS 6.x was patched up real well by Apple in iOS 6.1.3—but now, a dev has managed to finally crack version 6.1.4 on the iPhone 5. Read More >>
xRec, which appeared in the iTunes store on Saturday, promises to record everything on your iPhone's screen — including apps that prohibit screengrabs. If you're into that sneaky kind of thing, you had better grab it fast, because we don't expect it to stay in iTunes very long. Read More >>
A developer has built a fully functional Game Boy Advance emulator for iPhone and iPad, and has managed to get it working in such a way that it can be installed directly through a web browser link -- with no jailbreak action required. Read More >>
iOS 7 won't be coming to your iPhone and iPad until this fall, but a lot of its best features are available through third-party apps and jailbreak hacks right now. If you want to get in on the action early, here a few ways to add some of the new functionality right now. Read More >>
Though Google Glass runs Android, it's not exactly as wide open as your typical Android phone. And given its spot as the most futuristic tech available right now, you know hackers want to tinker with Google's specs. Legendary hacker Jay Freeman, famously known as Saurik who created the Cydia app store for iOS jailbreak phones, did just that. He's already gained root access to Google Glass. Read More >>
One of Facebook Home's most appealing -- or nauseating, depending on how you look at it -- features is Chat Heads. Your friends' faces popping up on top of everything else so you can chat with them while doing other things. Chat Heads are now part of Facebook for iOS, but to make them infect integrate fully with your iPhone, free of the app as Zuckerberg intended, you'll need this awesome new jailbreak tweak. Read More >>
Apple has finally patched the gaping lockscreen hole in iOS 6.1, but in the process it's also killed-off the exploits used by Evad3rs for their Evasi0n jailbreak. In fact, Cupertino went as far as to credit the jailbreakers for finding the four of the six holes. If you're running a jailbroken iPhone or iPad, don't update, for now. Read More >>
Whenever you bring up jailbreaking with the uninitiated, you're faced with that one, recurring question: "Why? Why should I jailbreak?" This beautiful, functional, better-than-stock lockscreen is as good an answer as any. Read More >>
Have one of those 7 million jailbroken iDevices? Like it that way? Then wait, stop, don't touch anything. iOS 6.1.3 is poised to ruin your day, and there might not be any going back. Read More >>
Apple's finally gotten around to fixing the Exchange looping bug that was sucking batteries dry with another point update, but it's failed to nail shut the gaping hole in its lockscreen. Glad to see Apple's got its priorities straight. Read More >>
One of the biggest drawbacks with the Surface RT is that it can't run standard Windows apps written for x86 processors. Well, that was until the hacking hive-mind of XDA had a go. Now there's a new utility for your jailbroken Surface RT that'll potentially let you run more or less anything. Read More >>

iOS 6.1.1 was released yesterday, and there's already a jailbreak available for it. The Evasi0n jailbreak tool which hit the internet last week has been updated to v1.3, and it will now liberate everything. Read More >>
Earlier this week, the jailbreak tool to rule them all, evasi0n, was released and since then there have been close to seven million new jailbroken iOS devices. At least that's what the creator of Cydia told Forbes. Read More >>
The iPhone 5's longer screen is great, but not all your apps have been updated yet to support the extra pixels. The result is a boxed app, which isn't really an issue until you invoke the keyboard and it's halfway up the screen. FullForce for the iPhone 5 fixes that. Read More >>
After literally millions of people jumped on the super-simple Evasi0n jailbreak, and pretty much overwhelmed Cydia, the Evad3rs have been tracking down and squashing bugs like warring Trojans. So it's time to check for updates, either through Cydia or Evasi0n.com to crush any issues. Oh, and the awesome SBSettings got an update too while you're in there. [Twitter] Read More >>

The current show of Georgia O'Keeffe's work, Modern Nature, at San Francisco's DeYoung Museum reveals the the gardener observing nature.
The works in the exhibition are all from a period of her life when she painted at the vacation resort town of Lake George, New York, before moving to the Southwest where she spent most of her career. O'Keeffe was married to Alfred Stieglitz during this time, the famous photographer and gallerist who almost single handedly popularized impressionist art in America.
We see her studies of the Eastern landscapes with the trees, leaves, and most remarkably the garden flowers from the summer garden of the Stieglitz family, seen with the appreciation of a gardener that seeks to celebrate plants.
"I wish people were all trees and I think I could enjoy them then." Georgia O'Keeffe 1921 Continue Reading →

Beyonce and Katy Perry are also set to perform at the star-studded inauguration, which is typically a private affair, CBS News reported.
During the last inauguration festivities, Jay-Z reportedly performed at it.

Public mosquito control programs have been started in many cities and towns across the country. Even the best community mosquito control program will only reduce the risk from West Nile virus and thus wherever you live, personal protection against mosquito bites is your best safeguard.
Since 1999, in the United States more than 60 mosquito species have been found in West Nile virus positive mosquito pools. These are pools from which West Nile virus was isolated, West Nile RNA detected, or West Nile antigen was detected using a variety of diagnostic tests. Although a mosquito species found positive for the virus in nature may potentially be a carrier, further tests are usually needed to determine if the species is efficient in transmitting the virus to humans. It is important to know which mosquitoes are efficient carriers of the virus in your state or local community.
The summer of 2013 east coast and southern states are seeing large numbers of the Asian Tiger Mosquito. The mosquito is known to be an aggressive daytime biter and is a carrier of the West Nile Virus. For more information on this mosquito see these publications:
University of Florida -- Featured Creatures
University of Maryland -- Mosquitoes
You may track identification of positive virus mosquito pools for your county and state at the link -
Tracking positive mosquito pools in the United States
Adult female mosquitoes need blood to produce eggs and perpetuate their species. Although they can survive by feeding on sugary liquids, it is only after a blood meal that they start producing eggs. Only female mosquitoes bite. Male mosquitoes feed on sugars found in fruits and flowers.
Mosquitoes looking for a blood meal are mainly attracted to carbon dioxide in the breath, body heat, and sweat of humans. Lactic acid and numerous other scents emitted by the human skin have also been found attractive to mosquitoes. Individuals who produce more body heat, sweat, carbon dioxide, and lactic acid will be more attractive to mosquitoes.
Birds, horses, cattle, dogs, cats, rabbits, squirrels, and other animals are fed upon by mosquitoes. It is when mosquitoes bite different hosts that disease-causing microorganisms may be spread.
The West Nile virus is a disease that primarily affects birds. It may be transmitted by mosquitoes from infected birds to other hosts such as humans or horses. The West Nile virus has not been shown to be transmitted from human to human, horses to humans, or horses to horses. Thus, the West Nile virus is carried by various species of birds and spread by mosquitoes.
Insect repellents are recommended as the best way for one to protect themselves from mosquito bites when involved in outdoor activities. Repellents act by making a person "undesirable" for feeding or in other words the repellent masks the gases and scents known to be attractive to mosquitoes.
DEET and Picaridin are recommended to be applied to the skin and permethrin applied on the clothing. DEET and Picaridin repel mosquitoes while permethrin actually kills mosquitoes on contact.
Using DEET or Picaridin alone or permethrin alone will not be as effective as using the two in combination. However, using DEET or Picaridin alone may be sufficient for most outdoor activities such as going to the park, mowing the lawn, gardening, or relaxing in the backyard. Individuals who will be outdoors for an extended period of time, like hunters and campers, are encouraged to use the combination of DEET or Picaridin and permethrin.
There are alternative repellents such as combinations of soybean oil, geranium oil and coconut oil and lemon eucalyptus that have been shown to repel mosquitoes, but only for short periods of time. Before using any repellent read and follow all label directions.
Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water. Limit the number of places around your home for mosquitoes to breed by getting rid of items that hold water. Repair broken screens and windows on your home.
Support your community mosquito control programs.

7101 S Harlem Ave, Bridgeview, IL | Directions 6045541.762209 -87.800069
Nice atmosphere – I came here for lunch last week for the first time with some co-workers. Parking was really easy as they have an adequately sized private lot. We walked in, sat down (there were five of us) and the waitress got our drink order. I didn't notice any particularly mouth-watering smells when we were inside, and nothing bad either. They serve pop in cans, which is a little different than what I'm used to, and the waitress didn't seem to speak/understand English completely so we had a little difficulty with our orders. Fortunately, one of our party members spoke a little spanish and confirmed our orders with the waitress.
While we waited, we watched some spanish soap operas that they play on the TVs throughout the dining area. The food was ready in a short time and I enjoyed the asada tacos with cilantro and cheese. I've honestly had better tasting asada tacos but these were acceptable. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their food as well.
It took a long time to get our check and a to-go box, though. I didn't have to pay for my meal but prices looked fair in the menu. I'm gonna give this place another go and I'll update my review when I do. This place is 4-star capable, IMO.

Professor of Plant Biology
Department of Plant Biology
To see a more or less updated CV, and save yourself the frustration of reading any longer, see: CV
Plant Biology Department
Reproductive Isolation Calculator
Dr. Schemske received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois in 1977. The following year he completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Balboa, Panama. Before joining the University of Washington Botany Department in 1989, Dr. Schemske was an Associate Professor at the University of Chicago.
Research Interests
'The challenge of studying adaptive variation in nature is that one has to know so much about the biology of the organism. Thus, it would seem that the second phase of the Dobzhanskian project, to show that genetic differentiation has occurred by natural selection, seems to evade us.' Lewontin (1997, p. 353)
The influential studies of Drosophila carried out by Dobzhansky and his colleagues illustrated the existence of adaptive genetic variation both within and between populations (Dobzhansky and Epling 1944; Dobzhansky and Levene 1948). Similarly, experiments conducted by researchers at the Carnegie Institution demonstrated that plant populations display marked local adaptation (Clausen, Keck, and Hiesey, 1940; Hiesey, Nobs, and Björkman 1971). Subsequent studies in both plants and animals provided abundant proof that the morphological and physiological differences observed between species and populations are often ecological adaptations (Antonovics and Bradshaw 1970; Schemske 1984; Endler 1986; Schluter and McPhail 1992).
The goal of my research is to characterize the mechanisms of adaptation. This requires information on both the ecological significance of putative adaptive traits as well as an understanding of their genetic basis. Such comprehensive studies are extremely difficult to accomplish; thus it is perhaps not surprising that our current knowledge of adaptation is inadequate. In a recent review of the literature, Orr and Coyne (1992) found only eight studies that had identified both the adaptive value and the genetic basis of differences between species in nature.
A central theme of my work is the link between temporal and spatial variation in ecological conditions and the adaptive differentiation of populations and species. I rely on ecological and genetic approaches to investigate the origin and maintenance of biological diversity. Such complex problems often require interdisciplinary solutions. I have established a number of rewarding collaborations that have greatly expanded the scope of my research program. For example, my work with Dr. H. D. Bradshaw, Jr. has introduced genetic mapping approaches to the field of population biology, demonstrating a powerful new approach to the study of natural populations. In the future, we plan to establish interdisciplinary training programs that will bring together researchers from a variety of fields. My long-term goal is to promote the study of adaptation at all levels, from the gene to the population. This research agenda takes its cue from the pioneering efforts of Clausen, Keck and Hiesey, whose collaborations in the mid-20th century provided a framework for the field of population biology. I have endeavored to follow their lead, bringing new technology to bear on the same, fundamental questions: How do organisms adapt to their environment?
The following links take you to brief discussions of my specific research interests and the abstracts from selected papers in each area.

Biotic Interactions and the Evolution of Tropical Diversity
"Since the animals and plants which exist in the world are products of the evolutionary development of living matter, any differences between tropical and temperate organisms must be the outcome of differences in evolutionary patterns." (Dobzhansky 1950)
How do we explain the extraordinary biological diversity of tropical regions? Few questions have generated such interest, yet we still struggle to find the answers. One of the greatest obstacles is that the question is multi-faceted, so a single mechanism is unlikely to provide both a necessary and sufficient explanation. Most of the hypotheses put forth to explain tropical diversity are purely ecological, and therefore do not identify the causal mechanisms responsible for diversity gradients. For example, energy is one of the best predictors of diversity, yet the energy hypothesis fails to identify how or why new species are produced in productive sites.
Here I review the major ideas concerning the origins of tropical diversity, with the goal of linking ecological and evolutionary perspectives. I first discuss the papers reprinted in this section, illustrating their individual contributions and their relationship to a general theory of tropical diversity. This is followed by a review of the evidence and explanations for latitudinal diversity gradients, a discussion of the mechanisms that may contribute to the origin and maintenance of diverse communities, and recommendations for future research directions.

75% of the CEO
George E. Deese
I have been working at Flowers Foods full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – There are no Pros Here, you will get screwed
Cons – Management could care less if you work hard to try & to get promoted ,If you are not one of the good old boys your S.O.L Management at Plant level needs to be looked at, along with HR
they THINK THEY CAN GET OVER ON EVERYONE, You can not trust anyone there,
Advice to Senior Management – Clean house
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
I worked at Flowers Foods full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Great Pay and benefits, Outstanding safety training (Kudos Doc!)
Cons – Poor work/life balance, total lack of employee engagement and empowerment, any efforts/suggestions for industry standard process improvements are discourage. Generally, extremely poor "shop floor" employee moral.The only issues causing more concern than the facility's sanitation techniques are upper management's moral and ethical values. Poor follow-through by the maintenance manager to ensure adequate parts, supplies and training are provided, little support from all but one lead, one supervisor, and one assistant chief engineer my 2-year experience there (Kudos Nguyen, John, and Jeff!)
Advice to Senior Management – Better education and training in Lean manufacturing and Six Sigma certification requirements for Lead + positions would reduce scrap and increase production. A shift from "reactive" to Total Productive Maintenance would decrease unplanned maintenance significantly, reducing the need for mandatory overtime. Any planning and scheduling between maintenance and production would enable at the very least the facilitation of a 'reasonably" effective preventative maintenance plan. The maintenance plans (work cards) in a majority of instances do not coincide with the equipment in place. Considering the facility has been operational for over 8 years (at the time) and this has not been corrected speaks volumes of the mismanagement of the department head's lack of dedication to improve conditions, processes, and efficiency as well as extreme lack of education, experience, and proficiency for the position.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
I have been working at Flowers Foods full-time
Pros – There are no pros working for this company
Cons – In the piedmont NC area. Branch Managent and Assistant Mgmt.are either kin or best buddies. And if they have a friend who wants a job, they will start harassing a worker that they have no liking for in hopes they will quit. Their most used words are, I'm going to fire you., I'm going to write you up, Total verbal harrassment every day and hour you are on the job. Very much a imtimidating and hostile company.
Advice to Senior Management – Need to put their friendship aside that they have with the Branch Management and listen more to the workers.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

I worked at Flowers Foods full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Working with the independant distributors on increasing their sales. Health care benefits are decent.
Cons – Work week for Sales Managers average 70-85 hours per week. Averaged about $12 on high hour weeks. Company cannot convince any qualified people to in essence "purchase" their own job which makes it very hard to develop a competent workforce. Moral is the worst of any company I have ever been associated with. Have sat in on many interviews where prospective distributors are told they can change to better routes if one comes open....then when one comes open they are told that changes are no longer allowed. If you have a family, personal time is virtually non-existant and career advancement to other locations is frowned upon because they have a hard time filling the management positions.
Advice to Senior Management – Don't take ideas that differ from upper managements' for increasing sales personal. Help your employees grow by assisting them when they seek promotions.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at Flowers Foods
Pros – Fast growing company. Some day we (R/O) might make money.
Cons – Company growing on the backs of the route owners.
Advice to Senior Management – Help the route owners before they go bankrupt, can not afford to keep up with growth of low volume accounts.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

I have been working at Flowers Foods
Pros – Work by yourself and are able to work without a supervisor breathing down your neck most of the time
Cons – They will give you a big allowance when you start and pait a wonderful picture just to get you to buy a route. Once you are there for a 6 months to a year they will start to cut that allowance. I work 60 hours a week and 7 days a week andI am only bring home $400.00 a week average. I was promised $1000.00 to buy the route. This is a real scam as I am seeing. I should have believed the other route drivers in Oklahoma city that told me this before I bought a route. This is happening to many of us here. Many more have quite cause of this.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep your word. Relize you will make more money if you take care of the ones working hard for you.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

I have been working at Flowers Foods
Pros – Work by yourself without someone constantly working with you breathing down your neck.Money at one time was very good.
Cons – The guy above me says it all I rarely get a paycheck anymore I made good money last year.I went out due to illness for 5mths for a surgery and came back to NOT getting a paycheck no matter what my route made that week.I work everyday and very hard I have been in this business for over 20yrs working at diffrent companies and this is the WORST! I have lost everything due to this company never paying me I dont know how they expect me to pay for my gas when I work a full week and they tell m I owe THEM 400$ at the weeks end How does this happen and no I make sure my stale is under the % which im allowed.I cant figure out the pay checks I have no idea how they figure it out and ive asked to be shown how to do it and no one can show me because its "Not their job" im living off of NOTHING and they dont give a damn!! Its so bad im almost thinking of leaving it and letting the route go eventhough I put so much hard work into it. I dont know how they can live with themselves they are getting paid for what I do every week but I dont? I have asked again and again for help but they pass it on to the next person who passes it to the next and where does that leave me? BROKE!! I cant stand this company I hate it I wish I never came here im losing everything I have because of this company I hope you all read this im writing to the big wigs can you see whats going on ? Do you just not care about the people that take your product to the stores? NO you dont!!
Advice to Senior Management – Listen to what your drivers are telling you and know that we need a steady paycheck every week just like you
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

I have been working at Flowers Foods
Pros – Easy purchasing terms. No down payment, flexible credit terms. Anyone with a pulse can own a nature's own bread route.
Cons – Heartless management, dissapearing percentages has left me very little to live on. Some weeks because of slow sales, truck repairs or because they freaking feel like it; i may not even get a paycheck after 70hrs of work.
Advice to Senior Management – Slavery is illegal in all 50 states. Treat us with respect instead of something you scrape off the bottom of your shoes.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Eat Them!
Eat Them! the new game by FluffyLogic launched exclusively on the PlayStation Network on 22 December 2010 for €7.99/£6.29.
Eat Them! gives gamers the chance to create and bring to life colossal monsters in order to flatten entire cities and feast on their inhabitants. Always dreamed of laying waste to downtown? Here's your chance:
- Build your unique creature in the Monster Lab and go on a monster mash, causing as much damage to the city as possible.
- Power your rampaging beast's weapons and abilities by eating the city's inhabitants.
- Enjoy bonus missions, multiplayer modes and global leaderboards to maximise your monster madness.
Inspired by the wave of monster films such as Godzilla that reached its peak in the 50s, and with an added dash of Hammer Horror, Eat Them! lets you control a series of towering monsters as they smash, crash and munch their way across a number of cityscapes and wraps it all up in a distinctive and colourful comic book art style.
As disgraced government scientist Dr Wilder, your aim is to wreak havoc on the city that spurned you by assembling your monster and unleashing it on the terrified citizens of the city. And since the monsters are people-powered, these good folk had better watch themselves because the more you progress, the more people-eating you'll need to do to keep the beast going.
Once you hit the city streets, there is a wide range of buildings, vehicles and more for you to unleash your wanton destruction on; and best of all, there are heaps of pesky humans for you to snaffle up and gobble from pesky civilians running for cover to the meddling security forces intent on stopping you in your tracks.
Head over to PlayStation Store now to unleash your inner monster and embark on your very own mission of ultimate destruction.
Eat Them! E3 Trailer
You can follow the development of Eat Them! in a series of Developer Diaries from some of the FluffyLogic team. When asked where the inspiration for Eat Them! came from, Ana Kronschnabl, Producer/CEO at FluffyLogic replied:
I am a big fan of monster movies – the old-school films where a guy in a giant rubber suit goes mad in a model city while the cameras roll… I wanted to be able to do just that. I also love comics, from the 50s horror and sci-fi classics to 70s Hammer Horror Fanzines. And finally, I love games that have a strong destructive vibe – the truth is, smashing stuff is fun! I also really, really wanted to be able to eat people…. in a friendly, "I'm just a monster, I can't help it" kind of a way. So we put all that into a digital blender and the result is Eat Them!
8/10 – VideoGamer
Eat Them! taps in to what makes mindless destruction addictively fun. It has the kind of spirit that's usually reserved for the days when you burned plastic toy soldiers with a magnifying glass in the sun or stomped down on your Lego house while pretending to be a giant: simple ideas that are at the root of the games we make up as kids. A brilliant little title…
7/10 – HeartCore Gaming
The look and feel, the monsters, the sounds and music and most of all the customization takes the genre to a new level.
Getting into the Monster Mode
Create a range of monsters that are specifically designed for each game mode:
- In Destruction and Maximum Destruction game modes, causing damage quickly is crucial, so combinations of the most powerful weapons will reap benefits.
- In Race modes, speed of movement and extra jump height are more beneficial than powerful weapons.
- In Survival mode, having long-range weapons that can take out more advanced enemies is useful, as is having high Max Power and low Power Drain stats.
Stick, Smash & Move
Keep moving to avoid taking too much damage; the monster is harder to hit whilst moving and the defence forces won't be able to converge on its position so easily.
Monster Mix-Up
By having a mixture of indirect weapons and melee weapons, monsters can often deal damage to multiple targets at once.
A head for Destruction
Roar heads are more useful in earlier missions where the majority of defence forces will be human. For later levels where vehicles will lead the defence, monsters are better off with weapon-equipped heads.
Don't Be Afraid to Hide Under the Bed
Losing a monster will heavily impact on your chances of achieving Gold: whatever the game mode, don't let your monster die!
Be a Beast!
Attacking the ground floor of buildings is often the most efficient way to flatten them as any floors above are destroyed automatically.
Everything is a Weapon
Picking up objects takes time, but striking buildings with them causes masses of damage so can be well worth the effort – large vehicles are the best choice.
Go for Gargantuan Gold
Make sure you score Gold in early missions as this will unlock bigger and better monster parts which will help in later levels.
Make Time for More Mayhem
Scoring Gold in the final mission Comeuppance will award the Time Slide backpack. When activated, this slows everything around you for a short time, which is essential to achieve the very best scores.
You've got the tips, so now get smashing! Download Eat Them! from PlayStation Store and put your monstrous skills to the test.
