Upgrading to a New Facility
More WholeSoy yogurt on its way!
WholeSoy & Co. is excited to announce that we are in the process of moving to a new, more efficient, yogurt-making facility. This new facility will be able to meet the growing demand in the US and Canada for WholeSoy's delicious non-dairy, vegan yogurts!
Keep reading for the details . . .
Rest assured that the recipe is the same, the packaging is the same and most importantly, we are still proudly independently owned and operated. Our stringent manufacturing standards and allergen testing protocols will not change, and WholeSoy founder and CEO, Ted Nordquist, still taste-tests every single batch of yogurt...just like he always has! The only thing that's different is the address of our production facility.
During this move, we experienced an interruption in our weekly production of yogurts that may result in some flavors of WholeSoy being temporarily unavailable at your local stores. We want you to know that the final pieces of the move are coming together well and we expect to be up and running again at the new facility very soon. In the meantime, you may continue to have some difficulty finding our yogurts, but we expect this will only last a very short period of time.
We truly appreciate your continued support while we upgrade to a new facility and sincerely apologize in advance for the interruption in your regular breakfast, midday or late-night snack routine.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us directly by email or phone (1-877-569-6376 toll-free).
The same WholeSoy & Co. you've come to love and enjoy will be back in full swing very soon and will continue to be the best-selling soy yogurt on the market!
Thank you!
The WholeSoy & Co. Team
WholeSoy is fiercely dedicated to making the best tasting vegan soy yogurt on the market! All our products are Non-GMO Project verified and use only US grown, single-source, organic soybeans.
Comments (53)
Please please please hurry and get back in production. I MISS MY YOGURT! No joke, I am allergic to casein which is in all cows milk, I can only eat or drink milk free products and whole soy was the first yogurt I could eat in 15 years that did not cause a severe migraine headache. I don't care for the other type of dairy free products they just don't taste as good. I know a lot of people eat soy for their heart health, I eat it because it is all I can eat. Thanks Ted for being such a genius. !
Can't find your product anywhere in the eastern Essex / Passaic / Bergen County area of lovely northern New Jersey; was getting worried that this was a another sign of our continuing descent into barbarianism and endless rows of Greek-style cow-curds. Very glad to hear that it's just a temporary situation, hope your civilized product will soon be back in abundance!
Ok, so now I understand why I couldn't find your products at any stores in the bay area this. It's been brutal & painful. I rely on your product cause I have a dairy allergy which limits product options significantly. Glad to hear the delay is due to expansion. That's a good thing. I say this in a lovingly, patient manner HURRY UP :) I really miss my yogurt fix. I may be experiencing withdrawl side effects, ya think? :o :)
Whew! So glad to read this post! I've been searching all week in Seattle for Whole Soy with no luck! Now I know why. Thank you!
I'm so relieved to read this! I went to the store yesterday and couldn't find any of the large Wholesoy yogurts at all! The guy who worked there told me you were re-doing your recipes, but obviously this is misinformation - you're just moving. I really really appreciate that you make the Unsweetened Plain Soyogurt, as most Soy Yogurt has way too much sugar in it for me! Blessings.
I purchase delicious WholeSoy & Co. yogurt from my Food Coop in Brooklyn and am dismayed that I have not been able to buy any yogurt in the last two weeks. The grocery stores where I purchased your product as a back up are out as well!! The other brands are horrible so please hurry and get your product back into Brooklyn. I miss WholeSoy, particularly my favorite, Apricot Mango. Since I consume one yogurt daily you can imagine that I am suffering at this time.
I can't find WholeSoy yogurt at any of my local stores in the Burbank, CA area. At Whole Foods today I was told not to expect new supplies until July!! Is this true? Please reassure me that the wait won't be that long!
Hi Katey,
We're in the process of making some fresh new batches of yogurt and estimate some will begin to ship out early next week. We'll have a better estimate for when it will reach your area once we know which distributors have picked up the product to ship.
Since we ship everything out of Southern California, it will take less time to reach Burbank than the East Coast. Overall it varies by distributor and region.
We'll update you all here on our blog, facebook, and twitter early next week!
Still waiting for these yogurts back in my local Whole Foods! I hope they are back soon...Thanks!
Hurry back!! All of my stores are out and I miss my yogurt!
Please consider adding additional small pieces of the fruits that would go with each flavor ... i.e. peaches with peach, etc.
Hope production isn't delayed too much longer...I'm suffering withdrawal. This is the ONLY kind of soy Yogurt I can locate in the whole city of Des Moines IA.
Missing Whole Soy yogurt at the Publix Greenwise in Tampa. Hope to see the product back soon, especially my favorite lemon flavor!!
my son is allergic to milk and whole soy vanilla is his favorite yogurt with consuming two 6oz daily. We used to buy this every week but recently we were told that its temporarily out of stick. We are anxiously waiting this product to come back to Wegmans in PA. If you could update the timeline that would be great.
We are out of it in Dallas, too :( It's one of the few solids my baby was enjoying as we introduce him to real food, so it's a bit of a setback.
yes, very sad here in montgomery county, MD! :-(
Incredibly sad and dismayed here in Los Angeles, too. Haven't had for two weeks now - stopped even trying to find it any more. We go through six tubs a week, profound loss.Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Happy to know it will be back in the stores soon. Suffering major withdrawal. Husband eats average 2-3 per day and I eat my vanilla every day with mixed fresh fruits. My newest favorite with pineapples and bananas. Yum! Please hurry.....I'm very cranky without it!!!
Also none to be found in the South Bay area of California...very sad.Your comment is awaiting moderation.
The only yogurt my son can eat because of all his food allergies! Please hurry!
same here! (NYC) - my 2 yr old son cant eat regular dairy yogurt and as we keep kosher, this yogurt is our only option, and he loves it! He asks me every day, I'm so happy I saw this blog post and now I know it will be back in stores eventually!Your comment is awaiting moderation.
May 29th and still nothing back in stores, is there a date we can expect it?Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Will stop combing NYC stores now that I have seen this announcement, but I don't know what to have for breakfast!Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Hoping for it back in Dallas soon! It's the best source of protein for a gluten-free, dairy-free, kosher girl at breakfast (though I wish it were a little less sugary!). When do you expect they'll be back to stores?Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Please give us a more precise update as to when we can expect to see it back in stores. Thank you.Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Please hurry... we need our soy yogurt back on the shelves. I went to four stores yesterday... and no one has any.
I just sent my husband out to 5 different grocery stores near our home in Nothern NJ and nothing! UGH! Whole Soy Yogurt is my daily breakfast. Please give us an update on the date the new production facility will be open...your soy yogurt is the BEST that is out there...not having it has been tough.
the stores are not going to keep open their shelves for you until june end. in boulder (co) and surrounding they're already replacing you everywhere with green valley organics. i love your product but someone dropped the ball in your production transition plans. "some flavors of WholeSoy being temporarily unavailable" is an understatement. there is nothing available, zero. i just hope all the stores bring you back. some just started carrying your products very recently, and now this...Your comment is awaiting moderation.
My 3 year old son is anaphylactic to all dairy. Whole Soy Co Vanilla Soy Yogurt is a main staple of my son's diet since all other "soy" yogurt contains trace amounts of milk proteins or products. 50% of his diet consists of your vanilla soy yogurt. The stores in New York City that normally carry Whole Soy Co are completely out. I've talked to a couple of stores before seeing this post and they said they are not carrying it anymore. Please please hurry with the move, the loss of your product has generated many tears at our home.
I have also seen filling-in of the WholeSoy shelf space with other brands and I have decided to jump ship and try other brands since there doesn't seem to be any end in sight to this dearth of WholeSoy after an abrupt disappearance.Your comment is awaiting moderation.
oh, rest assured, we will be pitchforks-and-torches at our local stores if they try to not carry Wholesoy. :-) (actually, at one of my local stores, the staff are as dismayed as the customers.)Your comment is awaiting moderation.
--just spoke to a live human at WSCo; they are in the new factory and ramping up but don't expect to ship before the middle of June at the earliest.
(i suspect they'll have to go thru FDA/Ag/FSIS/etc inspections too...don't know how long those take to schedule)Your comment is awaiting moderation.
I hope they decide to offer a large discount coupon for all of us who are going thru " pain and suffering" of being without Soy Yogurt. :-)Your comment is awaiting moderation.
It would have been nice to know before they made the move and stopped production. I would have ordered two or three cases instead of one the last time. This is the only thing I can eat. A month and a half ago I called whole soy and co about another issue
at that time it would have been great to be informed of this move. I had even mentioned that this was the only thing I could eat. I guess I will have to try to make my own.Your comment is awaiting moderation.
It's a relief to know that you're not out of business, and it's as painful for me to wait as for everyone else who's already commented. I would buy a case of the 24oz. Unsweetened Plain if I could find it. It's the ONLY unsweetened, delicious, non-dairy yogurt I've found. Have actually made my own from scratch, but it's a serious hassle. In Marin County, CA, I've been told that we won't see supplies until the end of June -- person I spoke with at Good Earth Natural Market didn't know why.
Please hurry! as a vegan who likes a yogurt with protein, I eat no other yogurt but whole soy and exclusively the unsweetened plain. Thank you for this product!!!
Not able to find Wholesoy yogurt in stock in Minneapolis area stores. One major store chain in our area informed me they are no longer carrying the Wholesoy brand. Other stores indicate the are out of stock, and not sure when it will be available. Please start production before stores move to other products. I love your yogurt! Thanks!Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Fred Meyer in Tumwater has been out for 2 weeks and Safeway says they aren't even carrying it....We are desperate for whole soy yogart!!
Relieved to know the delay is only temporary.
Would you consider providing the lemon and/or lime yogurt in the larger tub size? I really like these flavors but rarely buy them because of the smaller/less efficient packaging. Thank you!
Whatever happened to the 32 oz container? It used to be great. Now we have to buy the 24 oz container and it's not enough, and the small ones are definitely too expensive for us. When are you going to get more realistic and offer the larger size again? We live in northern VA, near Washington, DC and there is a huge market for soy yogurt here.
Hi June,
Thanks for your comment and recommendation. We'll pass along your packaging suggestion to our team as we do keep a log of everyone's suggestions. We'll keep them in mind when researching, developing and making improvements to WholeSoy!
The largest size WholeSoy makes is the 24oz tub. We have yet to make a 32oz size. The reason we have yet to make more flavors in a larger size is because of limited shelf space at many natural food stores. However, with enough growing consumer demand for non-dairy yogurts, we hope to make it a possibility one day!
Thank you again and your recommendations will be reviewed!
Please giveaway tentative due date. We live in Brooklyn NY ands the local stores are saying 3 months from now
Today is June 3. HELP!!!
Hi Breuckelen,
We're in the process of making some fresh new batches of yogurt and estimate some will begin to ship out later this week or early next week. We'll have a better estimate for when it will reach your area once we know which distributors have picked up the product to ship.
Since we ship from California, it will typically take about two weeks for it to reach the East Coast but it varies by distributor and region. It is unlikely it will take as long as 3 months.
At which stores do you typically buy WholeSoy?
Just want to join the ruckus! I also got very worried when I saw that WholeSoy was being replaced on the shelves of the Whole Foods stores here in Denver. Glad to hear it's only temporary--there really are no other options for unsweetened, plain soy yogurt--I love it!
Mixed berry flavor is amazing. Also like lemon, raspberry, vanilla, cherry, and I want to try the mango apricot, but I have never seen it. I have not tried peach or strawberry, because I usually don't like those flavors in yogurt for some reason. Please make sure you make plenty of mixed berry and get whole foods to carry mango apricot. I am gluten-free and can't do dairy or nuts. When I'm home I mix in some ground flax. So healthy. Schools should have this for the kids with allergies.
Not having your yogurt has made it clear how valued it is. There just is nothing like it. My husband is a regular eater of your yogurt and it was a shock when our local whole foods was out, on top of other local markets. Another customer at whole foods was asking what was happening. Now I have the story, and I am happy that it is for this reason. Thank you!
WholeSoy needs to communicate better with the stores, we were told the factory was 'shut down'.
Mustard Seed
Solon, Ohio
Hi Kate,
We will follow up with Mustard Seed to make sure they are in the loop.
We have been providing constant updates to our distributors and retail contacts as well. At times not every single person working at a retail store is informed about every shortage matter but we are providing retailers with notices they can post on the shelf if they choose to. We have good standing relationships with our distributors (as we sell our products to distributors and not directly to retailers) who have been extremely understanding and supportive.
There is an update posted early this week that explains why the delays occurred here: http://wholesoyco.com/blog/item/sorry-for-the-delay
Thank you!
Local HEB and Kroger told me they discontinued Whole Soy because it didn't sell. Now I see why no one in the Houston and Friendswood, Texas area has Whole Soy yogurt. Hurry back please!
My dairy-allergic 5-year-old daughter really misses her vanilla yogurt. She tells everyone that is her favorite food and now she hasn't had it in a couple weeks. Please restock soon!
I can't wait until Whole Soy & company yogurt makes it back into Lakewood, OH! I finally got my mother to enjoy yogurt...and poof! It was gone. PLease hurry - she's on antibiotics! Thank you for your products.
Please hurry to stores in Maryland. My mother is desperate for the plain flavor. Thank you.
Take your time and do it right! As a natural foods store manager I'm glad you guys are doing things right... people just need to be patient!
Now I understand what happened, wow do I miss and love your product. Can't wait until I can find them again. I usually eat two at at time, thanks so much for creating such and wonderful and magnificent product.
Thanks for the news. I was so upset thinking Whole Soy was gone for good. This is great news that this is only a temporary problem. Bring it back to NYC as soon as possible!! I miss it so much..hard for us lactose intolerant people to get enough calcium and whole soy is a lifesaver for me.
No Whole Soy in Missouri, I am missing my lemon soy yogurt, I have had to resort to eating dairy lemon yogurt, yuck! I cant wait to have my whole soy again!
Ditto! We are missing you. My five-year old is beside himself with grief. Come back soon!
Good to know. Watched it disappear from Whole Foods in Boston and wondered what happened. Hope you are back on line soon!
Thank you for such great yogurt!! I'm looking forward to your products being available again very soon. Congratulations on your expansion and keep up your great (and delicious) work/mission!! God bless you!! :)
I love your yogurt, best I've ever had! Delighted it comes in a larger container also. Please hurry to the Buffalo, N.Y. area, I so miss my treat!
Its so good, I keep waiting for your yogurt to be back on the shelves here in the michigan whole foods! I gave up dairy products and this is a fantastic yogurt even if I didnt!
I called Whole Foods and Earthfare today...July is what I'm hearing here in NC. Please hurry my kids need their yogurt!
Please visit the blog page for the most current update (at the top): http://wholesoyco.com/blog
I am so glad I found out why your yogurt had disappeared off the stores shelves. I was so afraid I wouldn't be able to get it again. I had even contacted the store about it. I have dairy allergies and eat soy yogurt every day to try and build up my immune system. Your yogurt is the best yet! None of the others can compare to your flavors. All are good, but Cherry is #1 for me. Anxiously awaiting to see your yogurt on the shelves again.
STill none in NY area, I am in long island and have seen none
sure miss the best tasting yogurt on the planet. hurry back!!!??
Thank you all for your encouraging comments and feedback! We posted another quick update: http://wholesoyco.com/blog/item/wholesoy-returns-this-fall-october-november
We anticipate we'll be making WholeSoy yogurt again late October to early November. We'll have more regular updates and a clearer timeline when we get closer to making soy yogurt!
Thanks so much for your continued support and patience!

Pig eaters travel free
3:08pm Monday 19th November 2012 in Business
A UNIQUE customer service has been introduced to link two company properties.
The Pig hotels has created Pig Mobiles, a free link between its hotel in the New Forest and the company's latest addition the Pig in the Wall in Southampton.
The Southampton venture, an up-market B&B does not offer lunch or dinner, but now guests who wish to dine at its sister property near Brockenhurst can get a free ride in the Pig Land Rovers.
"We wanted to ensure guests who stay at the Pig in the Wall can still choose to dine at the Pig in the Forest.
It's proving very popular," explained director Lora Strizic.
The Pig in the Wall, which opened in October, offers breakfast and also an afternoon deli bites service with wine.

McALESTER —
McAlester Public Schools Superintendent Marsha Gore's husband, Skip Gore, was approved for hire by the MPS Board of Education on Monday night as the director of plant facilities and operations.
Marsha Gore said policy does not prohibit couples from working in the school system or within administration together. She said there is a policy that couples cannot be in direct supervisory roles over one another in administration and that she is not her husband's supervisor.
Board of Education President Janet Wansick confirmed there is no policy forbidding couples to be employed as administrators at the same time as long as they are not in direct supervisory roles over each other. She said Business Manager and treasurer Brent Grilliot will be Skip Gore's supervisor.

A Japanese man was boasting about how his country had such advanced medical technology. He said, "We take the lungs out of a man, perform an operation, put the lungs back in, and in 4 weeks, the man is looking for work."
An Englishman said, "We are far more advanced than you. We can take the heart out of a man, perform surgery and have him ready for work in just 3 weeks."
The Irishman says, "That's nothing; we can take a kidney out of a man, put into another man's body and have them looking for work in 2 weeks."
The American says, "Well hell, that's nothin'. We had an idiot taken out of Texas, put in the Whitehouse and now half the country is lookin' for work!"

Middlefield selectmen met earlier this week to review a nearly 60-page proposed contract to sell Powder Ridge ski area to Sean Hayes, owner of Brownstone Exploration and Discovery Park in Portland.
The special meeting on July 2 took place in executive session and lasted about three hours. The meeting ended with selectmen agreeing to make a few, minor adjustments to the propsal before voting on whether to send it to voters.
The meeting itself might have been uneventful, except for the fact that several Middlefield residents showed up to town hall prior to the meeting to question whether town officials should be negotiating the contract behind closed doors.
"The reason I showed up [Monday], first of all the meeting got posted on Friday afternoon at 2:25 p.m. It was not posted on the website, which is now required, a minor point but important because nobody knows that these meetings are going on," said Marianne Corona, who challenged the legality of the executive session and urged selectmen to hold the meeting in public.
Corona was joined at town hall by Middlefield residents Jim Brown, Cheryl Pizzo and John Augeri.
The group spent about 45 minutes with selectmen and town attorney Kenneth Antin, according to Corona, and raised concerns about the openess of the negotiations between the two parties.
The proposed agreement, according to First Selectman Jon Brayshaw, is nearly complete. Brayshaw told Patch on Tuesday that a public hearing on the contract could be held as early as this month and would be followed shortly thereafter by a town meeting where residents would have the chance to vote for or against the proposal.
But Corona said residents should be allowed to have input on the contract during negotiations. She also said residents should have the chance to vote on the proposal before it is authorized by selectmen.
"[Powder Ridge] is something that is town owned," Corona told Patch on Tuesday. "The public needs to see the contract before you ask them a 'yes' or a 'no.'"
Corona and several other residents to sell Powder Ridge. She said she went to town hall on Monday in an effort to "let people know what's going on."
"I'm not trying to poke at this, at right or wrong or whatever's going on, but to get more of this exposed for the public. This is probably the biggest real estate deal we're ever going to encounter," she said.
According to Brayshaw, Monday's meeting was the first time selectmen themselves had reviewed the proposed sales agreement in its entirety. He said he is cautious about making the document public until it's "perfect."
"It's a work in progress but it's coming into the home stretch," he said.
Brayshaw said the meeting met the requirements of Freedom of Information (FOI) laws and called Corona's challenge of the meeting "misleading."
"She accused me of having it at a time where people couldn't attend. The truth of the matter is [selectman] Dave Burgess was going on vacation [Tuesday]. We didn't do it to be clandestine, we did it to be kind and considerate of Dave's vacation plans," Brayshaw said.
Hayes has agreed to purchase Powder Ridge for $700,000 and said he plans to invest another $4-$5 million into the property.
Last week, Hayes said he was "."
Accordng to Brayshaw, Hayes has secured financing for the deal through private investors but continues to keep his financing options open. A financial audit, Brayshaw said, is still in progress.
Selectman will meet again in about a week to review the changes to the proposed agreement.
"It deserves not to be rushed," Brayshaw said.

I was trying to think about what my ideal offseason moves for the Rams would be.
Free Agency:
Top Priorities-
Andy Levitre OG Buffalo- He's 26 and hasn't missed a start in 4 years. I've read his asking price will be around 5 million so he'd be a relatively cheap but extremely productive option for the Left Guard spot. I like Rob Turner and hope we can resign him, but think we could use an upgrade at the position plus an interior line of Levitre, Wells, Dahl would be a force. Then having Rob Turner, Rokevious Watkins, and Shelley Smith as back up options if any of the starters were to go down would really be huge.
Dwayne Bowe WR KC, Percy Harvin WR MN, Mike Wallace WR PITT, or Greg Jennings GB- There are no legitimate top wide receivers in this year's draft. Cordarrelle Patterson is emerging as the top WR in the draft but he's still considered a project. The Rams have a project in Brian Quick and need an instant #1 threat. I like the Rams receiving core right now but they are really lacking a true #1. One of Bowe, Wallace, or Jennings could be signed for around 10 million which would be a hit to our cap but at this point in Bradford's career I think it's a shot worth taking. He's cheap right now, could be retained, and wouldn't cost much in terms of a trade. If the Viks will deal him, I like that option the best.
Jerome Felton????- He's the fullback who led the way for AD this year who may be a free agent. This would be more of a luxury but he would be a nice addition for Pead or Richardson. Wouldn't be too expensive given a guy like Vontae Leach only makes 3 mil. I havn't really heard much speculation about this but it's a thought.
Cut Quintin Mikell and try to resign him- Although Mikell could've been a pro bowler last year and was statistically the best pass rushing safety in the league he is vastly overpaid for his age and pass coverage skills. I love Mikell with the Rams and really hope he's back next year but we could use the money. If he's not able to be resigned then we could go after William Moore or Jarius Byrd who are both younger, have similar productivity, and who would both cost less than what Mikell is being paid right now.
Cut Wayne Hunter- Wayne Hunter was awful and makes way too much.
Let Brandon Gibson walk- I really like Gibson but the receiving core needs a #1 and with an addition of that, that makes the WR core too crowded. If Amendola wants ridiculous money I say let him walk and retain Gibson though.
Let Steven Jackson go- Love Steven and appreciate everything he has done for this franchise but if he wants too much I think the team needs to move in a different direction. Richardson has shown he's a quality back when splitting time and when Isiah Pead has gotten carries he's been productive so I'd like to see what he can do.
Try to convince Bradford to restructure his lucrative contract- This could free up a ton of cash and also could benefit Bradford in the long run. Freeing up cash now would allow the Rams to go after a big offensive weapon in free agency thus increasing Bradford's production and perhaps ultimately making him money in the long run.
1-16: Draft Lane Johnson OT Oklahoma- One of the Rams biggest needs is a starting RT. If Lane Johnson is available I think he needs to be taken. This is assuming Joeckel and Fisher are gone. If Jarvis Jones or Barkevious Mingo are somehow available I would suggest taking either one of them to replace McIntosh at OLB. If Johnson is not available I say go take Kenny Vaccarro out of Texas. Paired up with Mikell, that would make the Rams secondary one of the best in the league featuring Vaccarro, Mikell, Finnegan, Jenkins, and Trumaine Johnson.
1-22: Draft Kenny Vaccarro FS Texas- This is assuming Vaccarro is there. If he's not there wait until round 3 and go get Baccarri Rambo. If we choose Vaccarro at 16 I say we go get Dallas Thomas OT from Tennessee.
2: Draft Arthur Brown OLB K-State
3: Draft Justin Hunter WR Tennessee
4: Draft Dion Sims TE Michigan State
5: Draft Kwame Geathers DT Georgia
6: Draft Tyrann Mathieu???- Jeff Fischer says he wants more turnovers and Mathieu could be Jenoris Jenkins 2.0. Mathieu could also take Kick and Punt returns on special teams and would be the 4th best corner on the Rams. Would definitely have to interview him and see what the organization thinks of him, but if he interviews well and is available this late why not take a flier on him? He's got a high ceiling, with potential to be a stud, and this late in the draft wouldn't be a huge risk.
7: Draft Tanner Hawkinson OT Kansas (<-- gross)
A lot of these options I just listed are relatively optimistic, but let me know what you guys think!

This calendar features the flowers of the months. Flowers have a language of their own. Every sentiment is expressed in one form or another by the delicate blooms. Of course, even the experts disagree on the true meaning of many flowers and most have different meanings to different people. While all flowers convey thoughtfulness and love, here are some of the more traditional flower meanings.
- January: Carnation which can mean I'll never forget you, fascination, sorry I can't be with you, sweet and lovely, innocence or true love.
- February: Violet meaning let's take a chance, faithfulness, I'll always be true, or there is sunshine in your smile.
- March: Daffodil which can mean regards, unrequited love, you're the only one or the sun is always shining when I'm with you.
- April: Daisy one of the most liked flowers can mean innocence, loyal love, I'll never tell or purity.
- May: Lily of the Valley could mean sweetness, tears of the Virgin Mary, return to happiness, humility or you've made my life complete.
- June: The Rose regardless of the color always means love. Pink roses mean happiness, red roses say "I Love You", white roses stand for innocence and purity, and rosebuds mean pure and lovely.
- July: The Larkspur represents fickleness.
- August: The Poppy means pleasure, wealth, success, imagination or eternal sleep.
- September: Asters are a symbol of love and daintiness.
- October: The blooms of the Cosmos represent cheerfulness and admiration.
- November: Chrysanthemums mean rest,t ruth, slighted love or you're a wonderful friend.
- December: A Narcissus represents egotism, formality or stay as sweet as you are.
If you were to ask a dozen people what a particular flower represented you would most likely get a dozen different answers. But always remember that a gift of flowers for a special someone will certainly create its own personal meaning and a cherished memory.

The Vian Wolverines head to Hennessey on Friday in what is starting to look like an annual Thanksgiving reunion and for good reason.
The two teams are facing each other for the third straight season in the Class 2A quarterfinals with each having a win over the other at home.
In 2011, Hennessey beat Vian 18-7 in Hennessey on its way to back-to-back state championships while the Wolverines ended the Eagles' hopes of a three-peat with a 43-13 win last year in Vian. This season, Vian enters the game at 12-0 and No. 3 in the Associated Press poll while Hennessey is 11-1 and No. 4.
"They're a great program," said Vian coach Brandon Tyler. "Just the way the bracket is drawn, if you win your district and they win theirs, the possibility is there that you're going to meet in the third round. That's the way the bracket played out and we've got to go with what the OSSAA puts out there."
Having played each other the last two years, Tyler is as familiar with the Eagles as he would be a district opponent.
"We kind of know each other and the personnel," Tyler said. "It makes for a fun ball game. It says a lot about both programs being in this spot for three years in a row."
Hennessey, on the other hand, has a motivating factor of having lost the last meeting. Rick Luetjen, in his fifth year at Hennessey, said that his guys are not focusing on the revenge aspect of Friday's game.
"I know (Vian) put a lot into the game last year because we were the team that knocked them off the year before and they were hoping to win it that year," Luetjen said. "We as a coaching staff don't push the revenge mode because if you sell out too hard to it, there are still games to be played if you're able to win this game. We're going to treat it just like a regular game and I'm sure they're doing the same thing."
Luetjen did say that preparation this week is a little easier because the two schools have faced each other the past two seasons. Sometimes, more is learned by what takes place on the field and not what is seen in the film room.
"The more knowledge you have on a team, the easier it is to prepare for them," Luetjen said. "One thing you might not know about a program is their physicality and their size and what kind of heart they play with. Now that we've played each other two years in a row, going into the third one, our kids know what to expect from their kids and their kids know what to expect from ours."

Well I don't mind playing anyone. My gamer tag is The Dwayne.
Also, word of caution to people. Has anyone ever gotten that "your file has been damaged." And you had to end up deleting it? Well the answer is here. No more do you have to do that, I shall tell you what to do.....for a price =) </P?
Nah, I'm kidding. The thing is is it has to do with your connection. Not service but if connected at all. If you made your profile WHILE your internet was connected, then you must start your game with the connection already. If you made your profile WITHOUT a connection then you must always load profile with no connection. Why is this? I do not know but hey, now you know your game disc isn't buggy.

|#247 Subject: Dead or Alive Ultimate Sucks! Posted: 11/15/2004 23:09:55
Yes I said it, this game sucks many a nutsack. Finally played it online today (and got my ass kicked might I add), and everything they (whoever they are) said about the lag was right, this game can get horrible at times. I think it'smostly due to the fact that you have so many connections at once (though Halo 2 doesn't seem to lag nearly as much, hmmm). Also I never remembered countering to be so difficult (even with out the lag), and somehow the computer can pick me up from a roll and throw me, yet I can be right next to them and try to throw, only to look stupid and get my ass kicked, I would say this game is a big disappointed, but I wasn't expecting much...

|#262 Subject: the floor sounds good Posted: 01/09/2005 04:36:41
That arcade stick is a sight to behold.
How does it handle? Does it offer a decent cord length? If it mimicks the one on the X-Box controllers, then that would be very good news to hear. Particularily since it is one of the few controllers in existence that possess enough mass to haul down an X-Box from the force of it's weight alone. I have a pair of those Soul Calibur II Universal arcade sticks from Nubytech and, the only real beef I have with them is the controller cord's length.
I would think a sturdy table would provide the best possible surface to place the arcade stick, it would allow for both a comfortable position and a solid playing surface.

Hi Everybody. Just got the invite (wonder who I played that decided to send it to me) But anyway glad to be here. I'm relatively new to the online gaming community but since I've signed up for Xbox live Online gaming is a blast. The only games I play online are Dead or Alive Ultimate 2, and Street Fighter Anniversary Collection (which I got yesterday) I do play Dead or Alive 1 ultimate but no one ever seems to be online when I like to challenge somebody..it's like a ghost town..which is really sad because it's quite a fun game. When I usually play though I use the random character select. I feel that even though I don't know all the combos and counter attacks to every characters, I get the most fun out of it when I use a character I don't normaly use. Instead of most pepople who have a preferred character, and unleash a barrage of combos and don't even let me attack, and then punch me in the head when I'm down. But alas some people play like that. But to me it's not about winning (sure it's nice if you do win) it's about having fun. So I couldn't care less if I ever reack a C ranking again (I'm currently at D) So if you like to play my gamertag is "The Mini Kami"
|#270 Subject: Arcade Stick Posted: 02/24/2005 20:41:02
I pick it up a couple weeks a go and I highly recommend it to any one who likes fighting game. It's the best arcade sick I have ever owned. I like so much I ordered an adapter so i can use it with my Dreamcast.

Related Event
On stage, Scott Miller offers a few apologies then begins singing about sin in Indiana—the crowd responding with hand-claps and a few laughs as he plays the song's irresistibly hooky guitar lines. It's standing room only (no chairs), as fans crowd the aisles for a show that's far more intimate than one of Miller's dates at the Bijou Theatre (acoustics notwithstanding). Bearded old record collectors mingle with coffee-shop hipsters in a gathering of the local-music faithful to celebrate the new independent album release of a Knoxville hero.
It's a scene you won't find online. Furthermore, the managers at Wal-Mart and Target probably have no idea what's going on here at The Disc Exchange on a Monday evening, and wouldn't allow such a thing to happen in their stores even if they did. But it's also a scene that's becoming increasingly rare as brick-and-mortar record stores face a seismic shift in consumer buying habits that's still rocking the entire music industry—forcing local mom-and-pops as well as national retail titans like Tower Records and Virgin Megastores to close their doors.
Can local record stores survive the onslaught of Apple's iTunes Store, which became the number-one U.S. music seller last year?
"As long as there are still people (and there are) who want to hold an actual CD and look at the artwork, then record stores are still important," writes Scott Miller in an e-mail. "Besides shows, stores like The Disc Exchange are vital to what I do. Whatever is going to happen with the music 'biz' is surely nothing but beneficial to independent musicians, hence why I left Sugar Hill (a good label) and struck out on my own. I can reach my fans directly without lots of middle men taking their cut. That's nice. Surely record stores can find a niche in there. And will."
That's the aim of around 1,000 independent record retailers around the world as they unite behind Record Store Day on Saturday, April 18, a concerted effort to raise their public profiles. Participating stores, including The Disc Exchange and Lost and Found Records, will be highlighting what they do best with day-long in-store performances, special sales, and exclusive records from artists ranging from Bruce Springsteen to Jay Reatard. Their message is simple: We still exist, and we're still cool.
"A lot of times in the press it sounds like we're in the last throes of this whole industry here," says Disc Exchange co-owner Allan Miller, who founded the business in 1987 while a student at the University of Tennessee. "But that's not the case. So this is a way to remind everybody in the country that there are music stores that are doing quite well. And if they haven't thought about it, they should go back and check things out."
With Record Store Day, indie retailers hope to stake a claim for their continued relevance with consumers, which has taken a beating in recent years. According to the Recording Industry Association of America's year-end shipment statistics, CDs saw a nearly 25 percent drop in units shipped between 2007 and 2008, continuing several years of steep declines. In the same time frame, downloaded album sales were up almost 34 percent. Last month, market research company NPD Group released its annual Digital Music Study—with more bad tidings for CD retailers. According to its sample survey of 4,000 consumers, there were nearly 17 million fewer CD buyers in 2008 compared to 2007; meanwhile, purchasers of digital downloads increased by just over 8 million, to 36 million Internet users.
And those are just the legal downloaders—there are probably millions more illegal music downloaders using peer-to-peer file sharing or simply swapping hard drives. But digital downloading is just one problem facing indie record stores—they also have the music industry itself to contend with, which has turned to department store chains for help, offering them subsidies and "exclusive" releases from the likes of AC/DC and Prince.
"One of the biggest impacts has been the loss-leaders at the big-box stores," says John Bevis, The Disc Exchange's CEO. "What we make a living off of, they're using to draw people in to buy refrigerators and microwaves. And the music industry did it to themselves on this one, they got into bed with these companies and were feeding them advertising dollars—and they were taking those advertising dollars and selling stuff for $9.99. We all pay the same amount for these records, but they were making up for that loss with advertising money."
Piling onto record-stores' woes were the loads of crappy albums released by major labels in the past decade with only one good radio single; since CD singles became almost nonexistent, it forced consumers to buy expensive full-length CDs. "It was giving people more of a reason to go download that one song for free," says Bevis. "Why would they buy the whole record when there's only one good song?" Worse, the loss of CD singles closed an avenue to new buyers.
"The industry itself has pretty much shot itself in both feet by eliminating singles," declares Jay Nations, former owner of Raven Records, a store still fondly remembered by local collectors despite closing in 1994 after nearly a decade. "The immediacy of getting the hot track and having a physical thing to listen to and collect—I think that's what used to get kids hooked on collecting and interested in music anyway. There are so many distractions now with video games and Facebook and MySpace—so many things that chew up your time besides going to the record store."
So, how can independent record stores fight for their survival against such forces? One bright spot has been vinyl; years after being superseded by the "perfect sound" and convenience of CDs, old-fashioned LPs, EPs, and 45s are hot again. In that 2008 RIAA shipment report, LP and EP sales zoomed up 124 percent over the previous year.
"Vinyl is essential," Nations says. "There are a lot of younger kids coming in, and there's so much more information on collecting now than there was 20 years ago. I mean, I have kids coming up to me at record shows that know more about original pressings of Jimi Hendrix records than I do. It's really cool!"
Vinyl diehards Mike and Maria Armstrong at Lost and Found Records have been selling LPs since 1990 when the husband-and-wife team opened their first store on Kingston Pike. After a four-year interlude of selling only on the Internet, they decided to go back to a real storefront in 2006 with their current smaller location in North Knoxville.
"When we first started, the majority of people were dumping their records because they had decided that CDs were the biggest, best thing," Maria Armstrong says. "That's when we decided to open the store—Mike said, 'I think as long as we can get good records, people will always buy them.' We always knew we couldn't compete with the big-box stores, so I thought I'd find something that nobody else is doing, which is records."
It's been a steady business ever since, and now the Armstrongs are selling a lot of records to the same people who dumped them in the '90s. ("Probably daily I have somebody tell me, 'Oh I wish I never sold my records.'") But they're also seeing a whole new clientele of buyers who weren't even alive during vinyl's heyday. "My youngest customers are probably about 13 years old—we have a lot of young people coming in who are getting their parents' turntables out of the attic," Maria Armstrong says. Likewise, The Disc Exchange has built an entire room devoted to vinyl within its store to capitalize on the renewed interest.
Meanwhile, in a more modern effort, a consortium of independent record stores (including The Disc Exchange) is about to launch its own iTunes competitor, thinkindie.com. Years in the making, it's a belated yet promising entry into digital downloads on behalf of brick-and-mortar stores. With a focus on local and independent artists, it will offer more of a record-store clerk's perspective on what's cool than the more mainstream iTunes. Each store will get credit for sales generated by its customers; tracks are $1.11 each (iTunes song prices have crept up to $1.29 for major artists), and songs will have a 320 bit rate for better sound quality compared to iTune's standard 128 bit. Allan Miller expects the site will help boost the Disc Exchange's overall online sales.
"We've just recently nailed down our used inventory on our site, and I think that's a big deal," he says. "We sell music all over the world; we shipped some to South Vietnam yesterday. And I think our download site will put us in the same league as iTunes—we'll at least be in the game."
Beyond hoped-for online sales and higher-margin boutique items like T-shirts and posters, record stores have also been turning to one other feature that may give them a competitive advantage: a love of music. This comes in the forms of clerks who actually know what they're talking about, and owners who support local musicians with shows and sales.
"The retail outlets that are going to make it will have a strong community component," says Nations. "Having live shows, promoting live shows, just being really in touch with the local music community is a big part of it. Because the really successful shops—like Harvest Records in Asheville and Grimy's in Nashville—both promote a lot of shows and they're keeping their names out there that way. And they just really have a strong, loyal clientele."
The Disc Exchange has been doing just that with shows like Scott Miller's launch party, and Bevis cautiously says he thinks the worst of the CD shakeout is behind them.
"I think we're at a point now where the surprises are out of the way, I hope," Bevis says. "We can see there is an ability to co-exist; only the strong will survive, and we hope that we're one of the strong ones. I think there's always going to be room for physical goods and digital goods, and you have to find that balance to survive."
But what if the forward-thinking futurists of online forums are right, and we will soon live in a world without brick-and-mortar record stores?
"Oh, man that'd be awful! Terrible! Let's not think about that," groans Nations. "Gosh, that'd be a true depression. The world would be a sorry place without record stores. It's just an essential part of a real city—you've got to have a record store!"

100% of customers would recommend this product to a friend (6 out of 6)
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Just under $19, which is £12 on this side of the pond, well cheap, easy to adjust, very powerful, comfortable. We don't use 18650 batteries much in England, but the AAA conversion chamber provided would be well used here. I bought some Surefire batteries, charger and UK plug adaptor anyway, seeing as they are a good price on this site.
Cons: Not sure why the lens cover can swivel round and round? It doesn't make a difference to the beam, which is adjusted by moving the lens cover forward and back. Also, while it is easy to move the whole lamp to shine in front of you or onto the ground, it does seem a bit to 'free' i.e. it could do with being a little stiffer so it doesn't feel like it is going to move when you move around.
Other: Having had a chance to use it, I'd still buy it!
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Great headlamp with good brightness ,5 flash modes and focus zoom..Included Trustfire battery have great working time.
Cons: Quality of battery holder,i must repair one cold soldering here after one crash,but overall quality is good for that price.No memmory effect(every time starts with high mode).
Other: Overall I can say,that is a great headlamp.I use it on tramp,where is very usefull every night :D. You can use it as a 18650 charger too.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Very bright light. I could not measure but 300m not a problem for it. Red flashlight on the back is very useful if I want to find during night time. Using outdoor activities variable focus is a pleasure. Charger has 3 LED indication, red empty battery, yellow good battery level but charging, green means fully charged battery.
Cons: Build quality could be better. Strobe option is not useful for me but can be good for other owners.
Other: Head strip is too short.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: I like that it uses either 3 X AAA or 1 X 18650. Is great light and powerful white light, reaches large distances and has adjustable focus which is really very useful to illuminate far distances
Cons: I think that the red led on the back is ugly and useless, I'd like to remove it but it seems like I should to manipulate the circuit. The material of the case for the battery it seems fragile, but it works great.
Other: If you want a All-in-One product this is the one, and reasonably price
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Nicely weighted and strong light.
Cons: I have found the straps too short. Also the rechargable battery refused to charge.Have tried to make complaint and find it too much of a fuss to take photos ,upload etc. Have used it with the adapter and three aaa batteries and yes it is a strong light.Rubber grommet on the charging socket has released itself and refuses to stay in place.
Other: Affordable light that didnt cost a bomb.Time will tell about its longevity.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: The light is brighter than pretty much every headlamp I own (and I have a lot of headlamps). With the ability to focus the beam, it's usefulness extends dozens of yards beyond any other light I own. The switch seems solid, it has an indicator light that flashes on the battery every 5 seconds, which is both a plus and a minus, but almost a month after putting the battery in, it's still just as bright as the day I put the battery it, so the draw is very low. The fact that the battery can be recharged without removing is a huge plus.
Cons: I wish there was a way to turn off the battery indicator light. The battery box seems a little cheap, but has held up so far quite well. Sometimes it can be a bit tough to get closed all the way, but that's better than something that comes open all the time, especially since you can charge it in the case. I wish there was a high, medium and low vs. a high, low, strobe. I'd like something around 200, 24, 10 lumens and the low isn't low enough to get the serious endurance this light has the potential for. 90% of my use is with the low, but there's a lot of times it's brighter than I need. Sometimes I just want enough light to read directions on a package, sometimes I need enough to just walk around, and rarely, but occasionally, I need something that will light up the night (which this definitely does!).
Other: This is a reasonably well built light with some higher end features, including a good quality switch, focused beam, rechargable battery that can be charged without removing it, and the ability to use AAAs instead of the 18650 if you're unable to get power to recharge the batteries. If this light were marketed by Black Diamond it would easily be a $100 light, but they also would have done a better job on the battery box and overall product finish. Still, this is a solid value.

Technology reporter Stanley A. Miller II tracks news and trends, from the coolest new gadgets to the latest stuff on the Web
GameStop wants your old Apple gadgets
GameStop officially kicked off a new trade-in program for Apple products, ranging from first-generation iPod Classics to the latest group of iDevices like the iPhone and iPad.
The game stores are offering compensation in both cash or store credit, although as you'd expect, you get more credit than cash for swaps. GameStop's website for Apple trade-ins doesn't list the retailer's exchange rates, but a quick call to a local store reveals payouts like $17 in credit for a 30GB third-generation iPod Classic or $150 in credit for a 16GB iPhone 4.
Granted, there are lots of places you can send your unwanted Apple tech for money, but that often requires shipping out the items and then having to wait for a check to arrive in the mail. GameStop is offering immediate gratification, and with the game-buying season just ramping up, the new program offers yet another way to take the sting out of buying new games.
And the bar for Apple trade-ins seems relatively low: The device must be able to power up; be free of dents, scratches and cracked screens; and not have any personal engravings. It seems pretty obvious shoppers will eventually see these devices refurbished and for sale, although a date for sales has not been announced.

"The War Room" Meets Web 2.0
by Mike Connery, Tue Jul 04, 2006 at 08:33:59 AM EDT
Cross posted at Future Majority - a new blog about tools, tactics, and policies for reaching voters under 30
I love that title, unfortunately, I can't take credit for it. I stole it from an MIT blog post I found via Buzz Machine. He used it to describe the potential impact of services like YouTube on the political process.
If you don't know, The War Room is a video documentary by DA Pennebaker about the pioneering of rapid response campaigning by the 1992 Bill Clinton Campaign. It's a great film, albeit a bit dated now since it makes a big fat zero references to the internet. (Which makes any the idea of War Room 2.0 even more fascinating). If you don't know the phrase Web 2.0, you can see what it looks like here and here and here.
From the mystery MIT blogger:
While on one hand internet video could be employed as an effective communications tool, on the other hand it could be a threat to those who ignore it. Few would argue that John Kerry's "I voted for the amendment before I voted against it" quote did not play an important role in the past presidential election. Traditionally candidates have faced opposition campaigns which, at best, deployed a small number of operatives to monitor their opponents' media appearances. In the near future, candidates will have to learn to perform in an environment where the opposition could have a million eyes and ears. A misstep could easily be recorded on camera or phone, uploaded by Joe User, amplified by bloggers, then repeated by the mainstream media in a matter of hours. Think of it as "The War Room" meets Web 2.0.
People will probably fool around with this during the 2006 midterm cycle, but I'm betting that most candidates/campaigns don't really figure it out until 2007, when the party primaries will begin to heat up. Whichever candidates really figure this out first will gain a huge advantage over their competitors both in the media and among voters under 35 - which will be the largerst voting demographic in '07 and '08.
Of course, the beauty of this model is that campaigns don't have to figure it out. Their supporters, or amatuer remixers, will just start to do it - because its their way of contributing to the campaign, or wreaking havoc on a candidate they dont' like. Or just plain because its fun. So I'm sure we'll see some of it during this campaign cycle (my bet is on the Lamont campaign. I can't believe no one's done a remix on that ridiculous cartoon commercial Lieberman put out.) But I don't expect to see campaigns deal with this type of freelance support in an intelligent manner until after it's been field tested a bit.
Buzz Machine hints at the future:
For the upcoming elections, I think any video sharing service worth its salt should enable sharing and editing of video: We, the people, should take along our cameras and put up entire stump speeches. We should also TiVo and share candidates' spiels on TV and also network reports. Then we should be enabled to easily remix compliations of quotes: what all the candidates really said about immigration, or Daily-Show-like what-he-said-then-vs.-now comparisons.

For once the drama is not focused on Kim but on her other family members!
Bruce Jenner is allegedly secretly consulting divorce lawyers to end his marriage with Kris Jenner after 21 years together. The former Olympian feels like his wife treats him like a doormat and he just can't take it anymore.
A source revealed, "She constantly belittles his appearance and complains to mutual friends that he's a boring old fart. Then she has the gall to flaunt her relationships with younger guys in his face!"
Bruce also is said to be upset with Kris being perceived as the one who wears the pants in the family and he's tired of constantly being humiliated.
I hate to say this because divorce sucks but he's making the right move. Everything Bruce says is true and there's no denying it because the family lives almost every aspect of their lives on TV for viewers to see (who could forget Kourtney giving birth? *cringe). Kris is always talking about hot guys on the show and almost even cheated on Bruce with her ex in one episode!
