Technical Abstract: In this study, optimization, extension, and validation of a streamlined, qualitative and quantitative multiclass, multiresidue method was conducted to monitor great than100 veterinary drug residues in meat using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography – tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). Instrument performance is a critical factor for routine analysis, optimization centered on extensive ruggedness evaluation of the method. Various clean-up sorbents were tested and the amount of co-extractives were weighed, matrix effects were measured using post-column infusion of representative analytes, the effect of extract dilution before injecting was studied, and analyte recoveries and reproducibilities were determined. As more drug analytes were added that possessed a wider range of chemical properties, a re-appraisal of different types of C18 in dispersive solid-phase extraction clean-up and mobile phases in UHPLC-MS/MS was done. Ultimately, end-capped C18 and post-column infusion of ammonium formate as an ionization enhancer for the late-eluting anthelmintics were found to give improved qualitative results for greater analytical scope. A multi-day, multi-analyst validation demonstrated that the final method is suitable for screening purposes of 113 analytes, identification of 98 and quantification of 87 of the 127 tested drugs at or below US regulatory tolerance levels in bovine muscle.

Free online books offered to students
SARATOGA SPRINGS — Local school librarians want to get the word out during February, which is "I Love to Read Month:" More than 3,000 electronic books are available to area students to download for free.
According to Paige Jaeger, the regional BOCES coordinator for school library services, using the OverDrive media application, audiobooks and ebooks can be checked out anytime and anywhere and can help with building knowledge, comprehension and vocabulary.
The Washington-Saratoga-Warren-Hamilton-Essex BOCES School Library System maintains an area-wide virtual library, a more cost-effective alternative to each school library maintaining a digital collection, Jaeger said.
"Our cost collectively is about 25 percent of what it would be if each district had its own online library," she said.
Most of today's students own or have access to portable digital devices, such as laptop computers, tablets, e-readers, smartphones and MP3 players.
"The New Media Consortium's Horizon Report for Education says 80 percent of students now own a connectable device, at least an iPod with WiFi," Jaeger said. "So, parents providing these devices may as well embrace the educational component of them as well as the entertainment aspect."
OverDrive is the largest online library provided in the world, digitally distributing e-books, audiobooks, music and video titles. OverDrive's catalog includes more than 1 million digital titles from more than 1,000 publishers. The company's global network comprises more than 19,000 libraries and 1,000 schools. Jaeger chooses which titles are made available to local students.
OverDrive can be downloaded at coolibrary.com. The two versions of OverDrive allow access to books geared toward younger or older children. Each student has a username and password assigned by the school. District librarians can help children get to the online library.
Jaeger oversees school libraries in 32 districts. Ballston Spa High School is currently the biggest user of the online titles in her region, and Stillwater is the second largest.
"We have been early adapters of OverDrive, ahead of the curve," she said. Continued...
Jaeger encourages students' use of OverDrive audiobooks, which she said students can easily use on a $30 MP3 player from Best Buy.
"Parents may worry that listening to an assigned book instead of reading it is a sort of cheating," she said. "It isn't at all — it's fulfilling the requirement in a different modality. Of course, students should read also. But listening can be a complement."
Jaeger said one local school experimented with MP3 players for its track team so the runners could listen to homework while training. It proved to be too costly, but it demonstrates the forward thinking of current educators.
"It's a data-driven society," Jaeger said. "According to the Pew Research Group, children's reading habits today are actually higher. Kids read online — message boards, blogs, news postings — in smaller chunks. Ours is also a fast-paced society. We need to make valuable use of quiet time."

A debut novel by award-winning author Holly Goddard Jones, about the people surprisingly connected to the discovery of a dead woman's body in a small town.
Thirteen-year-old Emily Houchens doesn't have many friends. She finds more comfort playing make-believe in the woods near her house in Roma, Kentucky, than with her classmates, who find her strange and awkward. When she happens upon a dead body hidden in the woods one day, she decides not to tell anyone about her discovery—a choice that begins to haunt her.
Susanna Mitchell has always been a good girl, the dutiful daughter and wife. While her older sister Ronnie trolled bars for men and often drove home at sunrise, Susanna kept a neat house, a respectable job, and a young daughter. But when Ronnie goes missing and Susanna realizes that she's the only person in Roma who truly cares about her sister's fate, she starts to question her quiet life and its value.
The Next Time You See Me is the story of how one woman's disappearance exposes the ambitions, prejudices, and anxieties of a small southern town and its residents, who are all connected, sometimes in unexpected ways: Emily; Susanna; Tony, a failed baseball star turned detective, aspiring to be the county's first black sheriff; and Wyatt, a 55-year-old factory worker tormented by a past he can't change and by a love he doesn't think he deserves. Their stories converge in a violent climax that reveals not just the mystery of what happened to Ronnie but all of their secret selves.
©2013 Holly Goddard Jones (P)2013 Blackstone Audio, Inc
"The residents of a small Kentucky town react to the disappearance of a local woman in this first novel by short-story writer Jones…. [The author] builds intense tension surrounding the choices her flawed but compellingly sympathetic characters make as they fight against lonely isolation within the tight confines of small-town America." (Kirkus Reviews)
Love speculative fiction so I am always watching for great sci-fi or fantasy. But since I'm a book addict, any good writing works for me - mystery, historical fiction, classics, even great kids' books. Tend to steer clear of YA and romance, but sample some here and there since you never know where great stories or authors may be hiding :)
"Fascinating Characters - Great Book!"
The Next Time You See Me is an outstanding example of a well-crafted character driven novel. The plot centers on the mysterious disappearance of one of the residents of a small town, Roma Kentucky, and is sufficiently interesting to keep the narrative moving. But the plot in this book primarily serves as a means to intertwine the lives a large disparate group of people and bring each of them to a crossroads in his or her personal development. Solving the mystery of the disappearance of Ronnie creates the action, but the real secrets in this novel are hidden in the cast of intriguing characters that populate the town and the pages of the book. Goddard Jones begins the big reveal from the first page, but manages to sustain the suspense of each character almost to the end of the novel with amazing pacing. She is always pulling back just enough layers through each chapter to keep the reader's interest piqued until all the story lines of the characters converge at the end of the novel. There are no real heroes or villains in this book, just complex, multi-dimensional people reacting from their personal histories in ways that are identifiable and authentic. Goddard Jones presents each character with detail and compassion - the reader may identify with several and will probably sympathize with most. (Even the dogs in Goddard Jones' book had their own individual personalities, talents and peculiarities.) Goddard Jones is such a character author that she gives dimension even to the bit players - the night cashier at the gas station, the dog handler - that probably only appear on a page or two of the book. I was "involved" with these characters in a way that most authors never make me feel and the book ends at a point where several of the characters are right at the cusp of making big decisions for their lives and now I so want to know what they decided. If you are looking for a mystery/thriller, this won't satisfy - you will have the answer to "what happened to Ronnie" early on. But if you've been waiting to meet some new characters that will take you on fascinating internal journeys and stay with you when you finish the book, The Next Time You See Me will be a big hearty meal!
Cassandra Campbell does a good job with the narration. I adore the timbre of this woman's voice - very rich, almost smoky lush, and very suited to a dark, mysterious story like this. She does sometimes put rather dramatic pauses in paragraphs, sentences, and even within a single word (saying worst as wor-s-t or hitched as hit-ched) that might bother me more if this book weren't so engrossing. I'm no judge of an authentic Kentucky accent so I can't say if she got that right, but Campbell definitely does a first rate job of providing unique voices for all characters and this book has many. (She voiced one of the characters much like the voice of Luanne from King of the Hill - I'm sure that was accidental, but it was a little distracting since the cartoon girl image didn't fit with this story at all.)
Overall, I was very impressed by this debut novel by Holly Goddard Jones and hope to see more from her soon. Recommended!
"Bullies, Misfits and Dead Bodies"
Jones manages to create a town full of heartbreakingly real characters. The Next Time You See Me reminded me a bit of Stephen King's The Body. In both stories a young person discovers a dead body and uses the discovery to impress their classmates. There is Emily, the middle school girl known as a freak in her school, who indeed turns into a freakish character when she keeps revisiting the dead body she discovered in the woods. She wants to observe the changes as the body decomposes. At school she is mercilessly bullied and taunted.
Meantime, Susanna, Emily's desparately unhappy middle school teacher, tries to discover what happened to her sister who disappears after a night out at the bars. She contacts Joe, her former classmate, now turned detective for help. He is equally isolated by his pain and his race. As they investigate Ronnie's activities leading up to her disappearance, Susanna and Joe rekindle a flame from high school.
Over in the local factory, Wyatt, an overweight older man, provides comic fodder for the young bucks at the plant. However, his life is no joke. His own dog won't even come near him, for he has a horrible secret of his own.
Between the factory, the middle school, Susanna's home and the bleak countryside, this book explores the despair and misery of the town's residents.
Jones does an excellent job of delving into the hearts of the characters to reveal both the good and bad. She made them so real, that I couldn't really condemn even the worst of the deeds committed in this book. So the next time you see any of these characters, you'll know their hearts. The images in this book will haunt you long after you listen to the last word.
Gillian Flynn's high praise in reviews pulled me in and was what encouraged me to take a chance on this book. I can see why Gillian Flynn enjoyed it for I saw many similarities in their styles.
You will be shocked when I tell you that the ending of this book is the books weakness. It doesn't end badly, just not very inventive, surprising or powerful. Kind of ho hum. Don't let that stop you though. All the other parts of the book are mind blowing. The fact that this is the author's debut novel will have me watching her for years to come.
A large cast of complex and deep characters that range from 13 years old to 60. They are cleverly woven in such an impressive manner. The author really nailed each character "spot on". Cassandra Campbell was just masterful in her narration. Together they really spoke for those characters and brought them to life. Not a weak or boring one in the bunch.
How the author chains one character to another was keen and my favorite part. It's pure art how she did that. The author draws for you one character then hints to you the possible connection to a previous character in such a teasing slow method that allows you to slowly think ahead or assume that you have seen the relationship - sometimes you get ahead of yourself and you are wrong, other times you see it coming. A stunning novel.
"Compelled me to listen at all hours."
The story kept me engrossed from page 1. Awesome connection to the characters through the author.
Yes, I was on the edge of my seat throughout the book. I'm a commute listener and I found myself listening in the evenings and on weekends. I couldn't stop.
Another reviewer stated that the ending was flat, and I have to agree, the ending was a bit flat. But, I think it would have been impossible to have an ending that trumped the rest of the book. Every moment in this book counted.
"Great Read"
Its the best book I've listened to this year
Its a very iteresting story & the way its written keeps you going
audible recommended this book & I am very happy. Thank you!!!
"excellent development of characters and story"
If you are craving to be pulled into a book, listen to or read this intriguing gem. This book is very well done. The audio narration is excellent.
"Very Dark"
Kept hoping for a different ending. She did a good job of going back and forth between characters but did not like how it ended.
"Fantastic! A pleasure to listen to."
If you are looking for an action-packed thriller, this isn't for you. However, if you are looking for a good story with perfect character descriptions, mystery and a great voice, I recommend this. I am a big fan of Laura Lippman. If you like her books, you will like this one too.
Say something about yourself!
"Scary possibility"
Similar to Gone, Girl in the story...but also much different.
Excellent performance...look forward to her next performance
Frightening that this could happen...but we hear the news with way too many of this type of story.
"I wanted to like this novel"
I believe that the reader destroyed the essence of this book. Her voice is better suited to The Velveteen Rabbit than for a look at Kentucky, small town people.
The most interesting aspect of the book is the Kentucky setting. (I am from Kentucky and also an English teacher like the main character.). The least interesting parts were the stereotyped characters.
Nobody in Kentucky has diction consisting of overpronounced words, fake southern accents that make the reader cringe, and a prissy tone...think Nellie Olsen.
Sorry, but the novel was a disappointment.

Sail-World.com : Newport Bermuda Race - Lilla victorious in Cruiser Division
Newport Bermuda Race - Lilla victorious in Cruiser Division
'Lilla, the Irish CNB Briand 76 cruising yacht owned by Simon De Pietro'

In the 2012 Newport Bermuda Race, 'Lilla', the big red Briand 76 (IRL7600) owned by Simon and Nancy De Pietro of Cork, Ireland and Mattapoisett MA, sailed a fast straight-forward race achieving victory in Class 13 in the Cruiser Division. 'Lilla' also took first place in the whole Cruiser Division and will be presented with the Carleton Mitchell Finesterre Trophy for first place.
'Lilla' led classmate 'True', a J-160 owned by Howard Hodgson of Ipswich MA by one hour 17 min on corrected time for the win in class and division. 'True' was second in both Class 13 and the division. Third place in the Cruiser division went to 'Odyssey' a Swan 55 sailed by Glenn Dexter from Halifax NS.
And there is icing on the cake for 'Lilla'. In 2011 she raced in the Marion to Bermuda Cruising Yacht Race and set the 645-mile course record from Marion MA to Bermuda at 68:58:45. That performance last year and her top finish in the Newport Bermuda Race earn her the Bermuda Ocean Cruising Yacht Trophy presented by SAIL Magazine. This special combined competition trophy goes to the captain who has the best performance in consecutive Newport Bermuda and Marion Bermuda races. 'Lilla' sailed from Newport this time— a 10-mile shorter course in 63:17:13, some five hours and 41 minutes faster.
'The only problem we had,' said navigator Nancy De Pietro, 'was getting water to the forward head and shower. The water tank we were using was aft, on the port side [That was the high side on the long port tack all the way down from Newport] and the pump had trouble because it was sucking air up there.'

'The one great thing about sailing on this type of boat is that we get to shower after coming off of every watch,' said Simon De Pietro with a smile.
Not having water for showers would have been a crisis for this cruiser crew… all good friends and family. It was an international crew with sailors from Ireland, the Dutch West Indies, England, Canada, South Africa and the USA. 'Lilla' has a comfortable 3-cabin layout and is used for charter as well as offshore racing.
In addition to doing the Bermuda Races, she has also done the Caribbean 600. She is an aluminum yacht with just 8.5-foot draft. She does not go to weather well but on a reach her waterline works and she is good and fast. The De Pietros thought of entering the St. David's Lighthouse Division but needed to be able to use the power winches.
'True' a 53 foot J-160— also in Class 13— finished an hour behind 'Lilla' Her navigator Richard Casner of Dedham MA said, 'The conditions were perfect for 'True' we had entered as a non-spinnaker boat and we think that paid off. We were right next to the Swan 60 'Lady B' when she set a chute and we were able to walk away from her. The double headsail rig we used was just right for this boat in this race.'

Boot Camp, Core Training, Spinning, or Zumba – Which Should I Try?
Michelle Treber | May 7, 2012There are increasingly more and more options available when you look at the fitness classes or exercise programs offered at your local fitness center, YMCA, Community Center, or Community Campus. Many of these programs are also offered through on-line programs or even as TV games – but without some of the benefits of an in-person program. Here are a few of the reasons why you might want to try each of them.
Boot Camp programs are modified after military boot camps or basic training programs. They are high intensity and promote cardio, strength, endurance, and flexibility. You won't get bored with Boot Camp programs because you are always changing what you are doing and they often incorporate both indoor and outdoor activities – when the weather permits. These programs do not require special equipment or clothing – just a good pair of workout shoes. You may feel like you have gone back to school gym class, because the programs incorporate many basic calisthenics like jumping jacks or push-ups.
Another program that only requires a good pair of shoes is Core Training. With Core Training you are conditioning the middle body muscles to work in harmony. This includes the pelvis, abdomen, hips, and lower back. When your core is in harmony you have better balance and stability, often an issue for older adults. Completing Core Training programs will make it easier for you to do any type of physical activity and even basic living tasks.
Spinning programs do require a special bike – so they need to be participated in at a center or fitness program. These bikes can be adjusted for beginners and are adaptable to individual fitness levels. They combine basic indoor cycling with motivational coaching, breathing awareness, and heart rate training. It is a great non-impact cardio program. No additional equipment is required to get started, but you may decide to purchase cycling shorts with padding, moisture wicking shirts, and cycling shoes — if you decide you enjoy it.
The Zumba program is Latin-inspired dance fitness that combines fast and slow rhythms with international music. WebMD tells us that a benefit of Zumba fitness over other dance style classes is that it focuses on only 4 or 5 steps per song that are repeated over and over. So it is easier to learn and you can be a beginner and not feel intimidated by someone who has been coming for a while. Like most cardiovascular workout programs – Zumba classes burn calories, can decrease your blood pressure and body fat, increases stamina and bone density, and can improve your balance and muscular tone. You can tone your legs, arms, abdomen, and gluts. One of the great benefits of the Zumba program is the social aspect. Instructors often use a party atmosphere to make the classes fun and participants find that they forget they are exercising.
The benefits of all of these programs except Spinning, is that you don't really need special equipment to get started and you can often try an on-line version at home to see if you enjoy it. As these programs are typically high intensity – you should talk with your physician before beginning a new exercise program and be sure to drink plenty of water while taking part. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends drinking 16 – 20 ounces of water a couple hours before exercising, and then another 3 – 8 ounces every 10 to 15 minutes you exercise. Sports type beverages should only be required if you are exercising for over 60 minutes.

Comments about Da Vinci DaVinci Emily Mini 2-in-1 Convertible Wood Baby Crib in Ebony:
I bought this crib to fit in a small guest room/nursery, and it's just the right size. After assembling it, I see that my little one might grow out of it before she's two, but I should get a good year's use before converting it to a toddler bed (another plus of this crib).The mattress that comes with it is not what I would want my little one sleeping on - just a foam thing. I bought an organic latex/wool mattress made for a porta-crib.The crib looks really nice, seems like it's fairly sturdy, and is just what I was looking for! (oh, a standard crib mobile bracket does not fit on it - but that's not a big deal).[...]

Gubernatorial Candidate McAuliffe Delivers Signatures to Election Board
The latest Quinnipiac University poll shows residents are divided and still learning about Terry McAuliffe, Ken Cuccinelli.
Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe hand-delivered 35,746 signatures Wednesday to the Virginia State Board of Elections in Richmond to help secure his place on the ballot in the governor's race. McAuliffe may face Republican Virginia State Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli on the ballot come November. A new Quinnipiac University poll out Wednesday showed Cuccinelli is viewed as "having better experience, while voters see Terry McAuliffe as slightly less ideological, but neither is well-known to voters who are divided on who should be the next governor, with 40 percent for Republican Cuccinelli and 38 percent for Democrat McAuliffe," according to a news release about the new Quinnipiac University poll.

As far as I can tell, Mr. McAuliffe had to deliver these signatures because his party chose to operate their candidate selection process the way they did. Congratulations to him, because it must have been a lot of work. Now people should look at the policies advocated by the Gubernatorial candidates, and the track records that they have. I think it's pretty clear that Mr. Cuccinelli will win the …   more ›

I understand that we should keep some of the troubleshooting, suggestion, informational, and guide based questions should stay should someone else have the same question, but the meta would be a lot easier to navigate if we got rid of some of the stuff.
There are probably a few others, but it would be a nice idea to keep things clean to do away with stuff other people don't really need. It's kind of bad when the example tags are "Pokemaster" "ban" "this" "idiot" "suggestion."
Sure, I've hidden a bunch of questions now. Since you're an editor, it's fine if you want to hide some of the older questions like name changes, cheating accusations etc.

I was wondering when someone might twig to their little minder/snitch.
Off they go, to the lovely little seaside vacation village of Slaughter. Take the kids! Jet-ski rentals until 5PM!
Yup, given that subtle squint in the last panel, the cap'n is definitely at least suspicious. It's no surprise, because she comes across as a pretty sharp character.
Speaking of suspicions, I'm suspecting that they'll meet Los Tres Primos at Slaughter, along with their pilot. After all, that's apparently where you go to avoid official notice.

Cape Town welcomes #MeetSouthAfrica travel bloggers
Bloggers love South Africa – we know this from our #LoveCapeTown campaign. This campaign saw us bringing four international travel bloggers (@traveldudes @velvetescape @landlopers and @wildjunket) to Cape Town in July 2012 during a social media drive in which Capetonians interacted with the bloggers and their followers, telling the stories of Cape Town and her people.
Cape to Rio connections

The links between South Africa and Brazil can be drawn back a long way.
The seas that supposedly divide these two countries in some sense unite them. Both ancient ships and hi-tech yachts have charted their course along these ocean lines. Pedro Cabral, the 15th century Portuguese explorer, was on his way to the Cape of Storms (named so by Bartolomeu Dias, another Portuguese explorer of the age, and one of Cabral's contemporaries) when he landed on the coast of Brazil.
Spain vs Portugal: Photos from the match
The photographs below, of last night's 2010 FIFA World Cup™ round of 16 match at Cape Town Stadium, were taken by Skye Grove.
Portugal looking forward to a World Cup return to Cape Town
As Portugal prepares to take on reigning European champions Spain at Cape Town Stadium tomorrow, coach Carlos Queiroz says that the team should learn from their 0-0 draw against Brazil in the group stages.
Queiroz says that his team loves Cape Town and feels like coming home here. They are hoping the outcome of tomorrow's match will be similar to their crushing 7-0 victory over the People's Republic of Korea last week.

Contraction actually makes a lot of sense. If the teams can't make money with a salary cap, then maybe the market doesn't support 30 teams.
That to me is the question of the ages. How can so many be duped into actually buying game tickets for the Lions all these years?
Hey dba, any chance we can get an updated analysis for this past season? Then we can see how ridiculous the various contracts awarded this offseason were.

The 10 Best Foods For Runners
- By Matt Fitzgerald
- Published Jul. 16, 2010
- Updated Jul. 16, 2010 at 11:03 AM UTC
Are you eating the foods you should be for energy, recovery, and fitness?
Written by: Matt Fitzgerald
Suppose you could only stock your kitchen with 10 foods. As an runner, which foods should you choose? If you asked a dozen sports nutritionists to answer this question, you would almost certainly get a dozen different lists. But they would have some overlap, and share general similarities despite their specific differences. All of them would contain vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, as well as lean protein sources, good sources of healthy fats, and of course foods packed with the quality carbohydrates your muscles need to fuel workouts.
Here's my list of the 10 best foods for runners.
Wild salmon
Wild salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 essential fatty acids, which are sorely deficient in the average American's diet. Omega-3 fats boost heart health by creating more elastic blood vessels and improve nervous system functioning. These benefits go beyond general health to affect exercise performance. A study published in the European Journal of Applied Physiology showed that fish oil supplementation increased heart stroke volume (or the amount of blood the heart pumps with each contraction) and cardiac output (or the total amount of blood pumped by the heart) during low- to moderate-intensity exercise.
You can get the same benefits as fish oil supplementation by eating wild salmon or other omega-3-rich seafood two to three times per week.
Cherries are the most antioxidant-rich fruit on earth. They contain particularly large concentrations of a type of antioxidants called anthocyanins. Antioxidants provide a host of health benefits ranging from maintaining healthy blood vessels to prevention of cancerous tumor growth. They're also good for athletic performance. In one study, the addition of cherry juice to the diet of competitive rowers significantly reduced the amount of strength loss and muscle soreness they experienced after a strength test designed to cause muscle damage compared to a group of fellow rowers who received a placebo instead.
Kale is a member of the cabbage family. It contains high levels of vitamins A, B6, C and K, as well as iron and calcium, and is one of the most antioxidant-rich vegetables. NutritionData.com gives kale a maximum five-star rating in the category of optimum health. Kale also has strong anti-inflammatory properties. Low-grade inflammation resulting from exercise-induced muscle damage is a daily nuisance for many runners and can become a chronic issue in some cases. Maintaining a diet that's high in anti-inflammatory foods reduces the risk of this problem.
Skim Milk
With its balance of fast-acting carbohydrates and proteins, skim milk is the ideal post-exercise muscle recovery "food" for runners. Research has shown that muscle glycogen stores are replenished and muscle tissues are repaired fastest when carbs and proteins are consumed together after the completion of a workout. A study by researchers at Indiana University found that chocolate-flavor skim milk outperformed a popular recovery supplement when consumed after exercise.
Bananas are among the best pre-workout and pre-race foods for runners. Bananas are almost all carbohydrate. A large banana contains more than 30 grams of carbohydrate, just 1 gram of protein, and no fat whatsoever. Bananas are also extremely high in potassium (400 mg), which is lost in sweat during exercise. Their softness and light taste make them easy to consume even with pre-race nerves, and their natural "wrapper" makes them handy for eating on the road.

We hope you enjoyed reading our last post, "Mixed Messages". We will be re-visiting that topic in today's post thanks to the latest crap to come rolling down from the "mountain".
Meet the Hartz Facebook Flea & Tick Care Station:
So, Hartz is going to relieve consumer fears about buying the wrong products by offering their suggestions on what's safe to use?
You probably know where this is going.
The system works like this. You tell Hartz if you have a cat or a dog, how old the animal is, how much it weighs and where you live in the United States. This "sophisticated" app takes all that data, analyzes it, gives you a coupon for good ole Hartz and makes a postcard for you to tell all your friends about the wonderful deal you just got on some reckless poison.
To be fair, the Care Station doesn't always recommend Hartz. If you tell the app your animal is under the age or weight limit, it cautions you against using the products, employing cutesy animal graphics. Aww.
Of course, Hartz, has also accounted for the combination of underage and underweight at the same time! What attention to detail:
Okay, so, aside from the expected bias towards Hartz products, what's the problem?
We're glad you asked.
In our last post we revealed that Hartz has been sending out messages in direct opposition to their EPA approved labeling, specifically on the subject of age.
As a reminder, here is some of the advice Hartz offers on its Facebook Flea & Tick Education Tab, on the topic of appropriate age:
In this instance, the advice above matches with Hartz' labeling, though Hartz does not go into nearly as much detail on what they consider elderly on their labels (but that's a whole other post):
Keeping all this in mind, please watch the following video (for the record, you do not have to be logged in to Facebook to use this app and the music is our addition):
Yep. Although Hartz considers cats to be elderly at 7 years of age and they state on their labeling not to use the products on aged cats, they carelessly tell you to run out and choose from an assortment of Hartz flea & tick "treatments" and apply them to your cat of 10 or more years of age, well over the Company's definition of "aged".
If you're wondering, the same results can be obtained if you select the "7-9 Years" option and, yes, the error occurs on the dog side of the fence too:
As soon as we saw news of this release, we made sure to let Hartz know what was coming:
With today's post, we believe we delivered on that promise.
P.S. – More on Fitch later.

Josh is deserving of the spot and can fill the spot left by DT. He has been editor for the longest of any of the current editors and has done a great job as editor (if we forget about the hiding of all those RMT questions. :P)
And then we can promote one of our many experts to the spot of Editor, maybe even promote two experts to editor, seeing as we are now on the second column of the Special users page (we have a lot of experts.)
We have many excellent candidates for the editor position but the two that stand out most are Halcyonic Falcon and Hex. Both are excellent users.
Halcyonic Falcon has even reached the 10000 mark, the old point for promotion to expert, all of whom that have previously done so are now editors (besides Shx, whose not being on the site has to do with that). While he isn't on as often as someone such as Mew, he still clocks in more hours than DD and is a decently active user.
Hex is also a great user. He is on more often than HF is, as well as on more often than 4S. While he doesn't have as many points than UberPwnage (a user whose swift point rise brings back memories), he has been on longer than UP, and I'm sure users would rather the new editor have been on for more than five months (maybe next promotion round UP.)

| I'm not smart enough or pretty enough or perfect enough for him...
I like this guy, but I can't help but feel that I'm not good enough for him. I daydream that I'm the perfect girl...for him...to the point where it is very very unhealthy. I can't focus on my schoolwork...I constantly daydream that I'm this perfect human being in my traits, prettyness, intelligence...for him. I constantly worry and hope and wish that I was perfect...for him. Its seriously making me depressed and I can't focus on my schoolwork because of it...I constantly think..."If only I was good enough..for him" help me out of my depression, please the sad part is even though I really like him...he's just one of those guys who just wants one thing...and I am sooo not ready for that. maybe i should forget about him and move on and think about guys that will treat me right and not just look at girls like sex objects?

From my experience as a man, and from talking to men about this sort of thing. Men tend to not go for the "Perfect girl" in that sense, frankly perfect people are scary and just a little odd. Its the imperfections that make a woman so attractive to a man. The flaws, not the flawlessness.

Another thing: recognize wishing as the bad habit it is. Nothing has caused me more grief than wishing everything was different. It's nothing more than a momentary ego boost that leaves you with even more loathing for who you really are. Don't let yourself indulge in those incessant fantasies. They are only exercises in self-hatred. Instead, identify areas of your life you can improve and pick one and work on it. Do something concrete. Develop some good habits. This site is full of ways to do this. I find working on physical fitness first helps inspire one to change other areas. It's not about making a physical transformation as much as simply respecting and honoring your body, as a habit. It is hard to dislike yourself when you do things to love yourself regularly. | |

Hey lightthecandle. I always believe it's a good idea to get into relationships with people who will respect you and treat you well. Sometimes knowing this doesn't stop you from falling into destructive relationships because we all want to be loved. However, I think if anything a relationship with him at this point would serve not to build you up but to bring you down even more. I hope you can believe me when I say I know what it feels like to wish that you could be with a person and that it will make everything better -- but even in good relationships that is not the case. Bad feelings may disappear for a while, but eventually you are right back with yourself...only now the other person gets blamed for your unhappiness. Truthfully they were not the one providing it to you in the first place. We each have to secure our own well-being if it is to be a lasting state for us. Taking care of yourself and living a life you love that inspires you is the best gift you can give to yourself and to any partner. It feels so free when you aren't responsible for another person's happiness. You are in fact perfect just the way you are and so is he. That doesn't mean getting with him is the best thing for you. It can be difficult I know, but try to turn your focus elsewhere and particularly on yourself. Take care of yourself and a healthy relationship will be much easier to find and enjoy. |

If you are tired of being depressed, then it is in your best interest to release the need to impress/be perfect/approval/acceptance and choose a desire that you know you can fulfill in place of that need. If you focus on desires that you can fulfill, then unrealistic needs will go away (and thus the negative emotions of not fulfilling them). | |

| my relationship with myself is terrible. I have so much self hate and anger towards myself I don't know what to do with myself. I'm trying to love myself, I really am, i'm reading books on raising self esteem, seeing my therapist, taking my meds, talking to people but nothing. NOTHING , seems to be working I've read so much personal development stuff over the years, but I still feel like garbage. I don't know what else to do I just feel so hopeless

I've been in your shoes. You feel like garbage because you CHOOSE to feel like garbage. In a sick way, it gives you an identity, and it gives you an emotional pay-off. For me, I needed an excuse to not take responsibility for my life. I needed the attention being depressed gave me (even negative attention was ok). I was really invested in being "totally NOT ok." Letting go of that identity is tough. It's comfortable. And, if you let that identity go, then who are you really? I really recommend you read Eckhart Tolle "A New Earth" and watch the Oprah/Tolle webinar. |

This is going to be really left wing, but I think the reason why you like him so much is because deep down you know he will treat you like crap and your current self hate of yourself wants to bring more of that into your life through another person. How you have described him, as a guy who only wants one thing, really sounds like there's nothing more to him than his looks and his bravado. How could anyone like that with no substance like the true and real substance in another. I can see that he would cause misery in another person that isn't at least as forceful metal-emotionally as he is. I could be wrong though, he could be very nice and sweet, but I'm just not hearing that. Right now though you should take an opportunity to look into yourself and find out why you like him so much. What in you resonates with him and makes you like him so much? It's good that you are doing the work to raise your self esteem but I think it's like building a house on quicksand. The foundations are far from solid. There's a deep core of belief in you that sees yourself as not good enough, and that you deserve to be with an arsehole. Take some time out this easter to have a deep look in yourself and try and discover why you have such a negative vew of yourself. Use this self discover to free yourself from those negative beliefs and recreate yourself as the whole and perfect person that you are, flaws and all. The real truth is that all of us humans really are perfect and it's just our own views that keep us away from seeing that. Discover that for yourself by deep self discovery and your life will change for the better. |

He's really not a bad guy, but a sweet, funny guy (just a pervert sometimes, but aren't all guys?)I think the reason why I like him so much is he's the only guy that's really had a crush on me ever...even in highschool , when I was really unnatractive, so maybe that's why. but also, like I said he's HILARIOUS...and I think that's what I need in my life...someone funny to take away the pain in my life and save me from myself... and once again,he's really not a bad guy I know better than to go for jerks who will treat me like crap | |

OH MY GOSH, you totally need to read "Why Men Love Bitches" by some chick i cant think of right now. ANYWAY, it completely validated my entire existence as a woman. i aint no doormat, but i got caught up in the problem of wanting to be perfect for this guy i was best friends with and was with for 4 years. then it came down to my career or him. LOL, as if. it totally broke my heart into a million little pieces to feel like i had been wasting my time. i kind of should have known all along though, and i think this book shows women the tricks of the "trade" (of relationships) and how not to be walked all over and taken advantage of by skeevy dudes just looking for sex. oh, and as a bonus, it turns out that men fall in love with girls who DONT let them take advantage (aka bitches). ...or you could just read steve pavlina's blogs and become the ultra super version of yourself who doesn't NEED anyone. either way, just don't be a goober and think crappy thoughts like that. not even if it feels all good and squishy at the time. be confident in your self and your own being and don't rely on ANYONE to make you happy but YOURSELF. (seriously, its a mistake. you'll find out) |

oh, i should have read this 1st... ok, make the decision to be a happy person. no matter how much it HURTS (yes, it does) to tear yourself away from being subservient to the world by depending on it. sometimes painful things are better than a long, dreary, ♥♥♥♥♥♥, life of depression and self hate. find SUPPORT. not in the way of dependence, but just a community of people you know you can trust to lend a sympathetic ear when you need to vent frustrations and mentors to give you good advice along the way. if you don't have a family member or close friends who can offer this, there are community organizations and groups you should get involved with. just the fact that you are HERE is an AWESOME step in the right direction! *remember all the great things you wanted to be as a kid, get out there and DO it and finding a guy that will be all head over heels in love with you will take care of itself* | |

You mean to say that you aren't smart enough or pretty enough or perfect enough for yourself. You're simply projecting your own self-evaluation onto him. You want to be different from who you are? Then do something different. Learn something different. Think something different. Read about new philosophies. Take up new hobbies. Beliefs->thoughts->feelings->actions. Change one, and watch how it affects the others. If you can change your beliefs, then you can change who you are. That's what you want, isn't it? |

Dear lightthecandle, This poor funny guy is just a symptom for you in your self-hate. Your subconscious mind has tried to find something unnattainable to aim for so you can continue to loath yourself. It's hard to drag your focus back. I know, I know, he's a great distraction from the boring "trying to care about me" stuff. It's because what you're doing to improve your relationship with yourself at the moment is not working! I'll suggest EFT, (my website has a free beginner's guide or check my video on Youtube ) cos its the easiest and best way I know to improve your life, and simply start with a statement like "Even though I hate myself, I'm open to the possibility that I can change that". I'd also suggest that you do EFT on whatever is bothering you whenever it occurs or as soon as possible afterwards. Then, compile a list of the 5 nastiest things that ever happened to you, from birth onwards. Spend half an hour a day working through that list, doing EFT on each one til it doesn't bother you at all and you could tell someone about it without flinching at all. When you've done that, make another list of the 5 nastiest events, and do it again, half an hour a day. Over a few weeks, if you do this, I promise, you will feel better, and this guy will seem irrelevent. Check my webpage for articles about using EFT, and let me know if you get stuck. Always happy to help. Wishing you joy Hazel |

Another person is not what you need! Looking for salvation in another person is a death trap. I've seen it happen to so many people in my life. They look for another person to make them happy, and that person is ALWAYS abusive in some way. You have to identify why you don't like yourself and learn to forgive yourself for it. Happiness will only be a mirage for you until you recognize that. This guy is an ass. He has a 'crush' on you because he senses you are vulnerable and you need him for something. Stay away. | |

| I'm feeling alot better =)
Well, its been a long tough, depressive few weeks, but I'm starting to realize that I don't need a guy to make me feel that I'm loved or feel better about myself. its true, I need to find myself first, get better (mentally, emotionally, and physically) and just take care of myself and be kind to myself instead of constantly wishing to go back to the past, or be the perfect person for him. I'm just so sick and tired of all this crap. its sooo not fun, when 95% of your thoughts are about him, and how inadequate i am for him and how I wish I could be perfect for him(I'm serious, unfortunately). but I'm learning to be ok with all this, everyone please pray for me. thanks for all your replies, I read them all and try to learn and incorporate the advice in my life. |

Glad you are feeling better. I will certainly pray for you. Try catching yourself when you start to think of him and direct your thoughts somewhere else. At first it may seem hard, but if you practice you will see your obsessive thoughts about him decrease. You have a lot of strength to draw from, now you just have to start recognizing that and doing what you can. All my best. |

The best thing i could tell you is to give God a chance. He knows better than anything else because he created you. Once you deeply understand how He sees you, you will begin to become enlightened as to how much you are loved and a wonderful beautiful woman, regardless of anything.

On a never ending quest to improve my knitting skills, keep the backs of my stitching projects neat, and organize the chaos that is my life. Welcome aboard!
Monday, January 16, 2012
It was going so well. . .
I have done a million things to try and figure out what went wrong with her face--bought new floss, took everything to the cross stitch shop to have another pair of eyes look at it, posted it on the HAED BB--all my floss is the correct color and the only thing that makes sense right now, if it is not a charting error, is that I did something wrong. I think I have pinpointed it to a specific color(DMC 224). There is NO WAY I am frogging over 1 stitches on 28 count SOOOOOO that means I get to restitch the ENTIRE page all 7,840 stitches. Right now I am too angry to redo it and therefore I will be letting it set until February.
Onto other things for a couple of weeks.

Is it safe to take these so called natural pills if you are diabetic?
That is a very complex question, my sweet. In most cases, within reason, if an herbal supplement is safe for the general population it is okay for us to experiment with---BUT we need to keep extra careful records of our BS readings. And in most cases it would be better to eat a few raspeberries, fresh or frozen, than take a supplement which may have fillers in it.
Berries are the only fruit I can eat without a big spike, so I rotate through blueberries, raspberries and cranberries, for instance---a third cup with almond milk and a dollop of heavy cream and stevia is very satisfying.
I take many supplements, but I have experimented with each very carefully over the course of 15 years.....We are all different and will react differently---just as we will with standard diabetes or BP meds, etc.
Stay in touch, now....Judith in Portland
You ask about safety. Are you concerned whether this supplement is effective or not?
Raspberry ketones is an extract from berries. It was placed on the list of Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) list by the FDA in 1965. This indicates that it is safe in small quantities as a food additive. Subsequently, many claims have been made about Raspberry Ketones, mostly based on the effect in mice in very, very high doses. There really is not any evidence of benefit for humans. I'm not clear that high doses are even safe. You should be clear that Raspberry ketones is known to slim down your wallet.
I have taken them for 1 month for increasing my metabolism. I did have a lot more energy (and not the jittery kind of energy!), but did not have any real weight loss, however, it was during the holidays so maybe I would have gained. I have been off them for a week and I may try them again just for the increase in energy ;) For me, I had no blood sugar issues..but like anything you may want to contact your doc about the safety for you.
If you're not on any oral meds that might interact it's best to check with your pharmacist.
I saw them on Dr. Oz to help you lose weight! I am going to keep a lose eye on my sugars and how I see. There is also green coffee pills that helps you lose weight.
I'm not really a fan of Dr. Oz. He is a bit of a quack, jumping from fad to fad.
I think the pills you are talking about may be green tea extract. I have to tell you, I've never found any supplements that really helped me lose weight. I think eating a low carb diet can be really effective for weight loss. As a T2 and being insulin resistance it stands out even more. I've also had good luck with Intermittent Fasting. One day a week, I skip breakfast and dinner, doing a 24 hour fast (usually on the weekend). Beyond the weight loss, I think it has helped me learn to better deal with hunger.

"That's a FABULOUS shirt, sweetie! Mind if we take a picture?" through my blurry peripheral vision I saw two of the largest gay men I have ever seen in my entire life. One of them was wearing a pink tutu and fairy wings. The other in a t-shirt emblazoned with "I'm not gay, but my boyfriend is" and a top hat made of palm fronds. I didn't remember taking any hallucinogens, so I knew what I was looking at was very real. Normally, you might think this to be an odd interaction, but on Duval Street in Key West…anything goes. "Sure, kittens!" I chirped, finding the whole situation highly entertaining. Two, six foot, muscular men; one channeling his inner Sugar Plum Fairy and the other singing Lady Gaga, chasing me down to be photographed with me…and my boring "Cash Only" t-shirt. "Where did you get that? LOVE IT," the Nutcracker Suite reject sang as they positioned themselves around my chest, blowing kisses.
As the sun was rising over Sloppy Joe's, I happily posed for my photo-op. "Work it, girl!" they laughed as the guy working at the information booth snapped a few shots. "Oh, this is so going on Facebook, Steve is going to die," I didn't ask who Steve was, but I knew by the company he kept, that Steve was awesome. "I got it on-line," I laughed, as I tried to make my best sexy face. "Oh my god, it goes great with your boobs! Did you get those on-line, too?" the guy in the top hat squealed. "No, they came with the frame, honey!" I responded, again laughing hysterically. "Ooh! Smart, cute and sassy! If I wasn't such a queen, I'd be all over you," said the man in the wings. "Settle down, we don't want to make Steve jealous" I directed. "You're too cute! What's your name, honey?" he inquired. "My friend's call me Delicious!" I laughed; I've always wanted to say that. "Well, Delicious. Thanks for the pictures". "Do you know where I can get a Bloody Mary?" I asked, figuring if anyone knew where I could get an early morning drink, it was these two. "Oh, um…go down to the end of the block. There's a bar called the Schooner Warf . Tell Bob, Jack sent you," and in a flash, they were gone.
It was 7 a.m. on Saturday morning; there was no logical reason for me to be awake. My body just wouldn't let me sleep anymore. When I opened my eyes, I discovered I had been sleeping on a couch. My boyfriend was cuddled up next to me. He is secretly a spooner, sometimes in the early morning hours I will wake up to him hugging me. If you asked him, he'd never admit to doing this, it would ruin his image. He calls me "The Furnace". It's a reference to the incredible amount of body heat I generate while unconscious; it's not a compliment and has nothing to do with whether or not he finds me attractive. I don't have any control over what my body does while I'm sleeping, although I wish I could keep my internal temperature at a level more conducive to snuggling, this admission may ruin my image, too.
The couch we were sleeping on was located on a yacht in a marina smack dab in the middle of Key West, FL. It's good to be me, sometimes. This weekend was definitely one of those times. The yacht is a large vessel captained by friends of my boyfriend's; they were nice enough to invite us down for the weekend. I was still fully clothed, and had the traces of last night's make-up on my face…so I did what any adventurous broad with a few hours to kill and a screaming hangover does…I climbed off the boat, located my shoes and went in search of a Bloody Mary. The people in the hotel room directly above the boat gave me a standing ovation when they saw me stirring. I provided them with an obligatory curtsey, and thanked them for their support. I didn't ask them why they were cheering, I could feel my hip throbbing with the pain of a fresh bruise, and I knew I must've fallen down and provided some other kind of drunken entertainment to my adoring fans. "Boy, you're up early" they shouted down to me as the gripped their coffee cups and peered over the balcony through bloodshot eyes. "Yep, you know where a girl can get a Bloody Mary at this hour?" I yelled back. "You're looking for a drink, already? What a trooper! We're not worthy! We're not worthy!" they chanted, pretending to bow. "Well, I'm probably still drunk, it has more to do with being stupid, than the fortitude of my liver," I confessed. "There should be some place, but we don't know where," they admitted. "Let us know what you find," and so began my early morning exploration of the island.
I felt like I had the entire place to myself, until the gay paparazzi tracked me down, I wasn't aware that anyone else was awake. It was an eerie, yet peaceful experience. All of the shops were closed and the bars that had been jammed with people the night before were empty. I have never seen Key West this desolate, but I'm glad I got the chance to see it through sort of sober eyes. When I'm there, I forget I'm the tourist. Having spent most of my life near a vacation destination, it has all the comforts of home. There are restaurants with $13.00 sandwiches. Gift shops selling everything from beach towels to cheaply manufactured hookas. There are even the clothing stores, with the over-priced tropical print dresses and "Liquidation! Everything must go" signs in the windows. If you learn nothing else from me, please absorb the following: these places are not going out of business, they are not struggling…they just want you to think you're getting a deal. If you go back a year from now, the same signs will be hanging in the window as if the store's name is actually "Going out of business". When I go to places like this, touristy ones, I try to find the places where the locals congregate.
The Schooner Warf was definitely a local joint. Bob was behind the bar, right where Jack said he would be. Local places are never as clean as the establishments on the main roads; they are always tucked in a corner somewhere. They are situated this way because the locals are hiding from you, after years of being surrounded by happy, tan people, spending money; your excitement with the area they call home loses its charm. It's not that the locals don't appreciate your presence; they just don't want to have to entertain you. They aren't on vacation and they don't care where you're from, they just want to have a drink in silence. I found a quiet place at the end of the bar; Bob came over and introduced himself. He handed me a newspaper, and stood waiting patiently for my order. A newspaper is usually a silent directive, it means, "read this, and don't talk to me". I ordered my drink and said "Jack told me to come here". Bob smirked, "Jack's still out and about, is he?". "Yeah, he stopped me on Duval and asked to take a picture with me". "That crazy bastard. What was the costume today?". "Um, Fairy Ballerina?" I said, trying to gauge Bob's mood. "Well, any friend of Jack's is a friend of mine," he said as he made my drink. Bob was salty looking, older, in his 50's I would say. "What's your name, honey?" he asked. "Sara, but you can call me Delicious" I said dryly. Bob broke out in a roaring laughter, "Everyone, this is Delicious," he announced to the patrons at the bar. "I don't think she's from here, but she should be,". "I don't think my liver could handle it, but I'd be willing to give it a try," I said, sucking down my drink. "Delicious, where are you from?". "Well, Bob. I come from the great frozen north of Fort Lauderdale,". "I thought I detected an accent," he laughed. "Pardon my mood earlier, I thought you were one of those bubble heads from Wisconsin. I just didn't think I could have another conversation about the ocean and how peaceful it is here,". "It's pretty fucking peaceful. But, please don't feel obligated to entertain me" I declared. "Your drinks are on the house, I love a non-tourist, tourist." He said seriously, as a smile appeared from under his mustache. "That just means you get a bigger tip, Bob." "Exactly, Delicious". Bob and I had an understanding; if I wasn't obnoxious he'd keep the drinks flowing. My one Bloody Mary turned in to four; before I knew it, I had made friends with several weather beaten people seated on bar stools. They were all from somewhere else, but came to Key West to get away from something or feel like they belonged. I couldn't take advantage of Bob's generosity and I knew that my boyfriend would be worried about me if I stayed out too much longer. It's generally not a good idea for me to wander around places like this unattended; I pick up strays. He probably wouldn't be pleased if I was a puddle before he even got the sleep out of his eyes and had a gaggle of men in feather boas following me home. So, I took my last drink to go and made my way back to the boat. The cruise ships were just letting their passengers off for a day in Key West. I was asked to pose for three more pictures on my way back, but none of them were as interesting as Jack and the guy in the hat. I obliged, laughing that my chest was getting so much attention.
By the time I hit the dock, the people on the boat were stirring, they all looked like they'd been hit by trucks. We sat on the back of the boat trying to determine the origin of the various stains and bruises. It was clear we'd all had a great time, but the details were quite fuzzy. The only people we could count on for an accurate description of the events of the previous night were seated on the balcony above us, and I was afraid to ask.

text: Most specialized workers who do concrete coring have the capabilities of completing all the aspects of sawing and drilling concrete in just a matter of minutes. The work entails a lot of hard work. For success in any local concrete coring, one needs to use the proper coring tools that are readily available in the market. The tools are meant to probe in areas that have concrete or on the outer surfaces where there is brick. Tools that can otherwise be used include the diamond core bit and the whole tools catalog kit. With the right tools a local concrete coring procedure can be done in an efficient manner in just seconds. Such local concrete coring maneuvers are more prominent in the developed countries around the world. A vital tool is the concrete coring equipment, which is mainly used to drill holes on concrete walls. In this process plenty of water is needed for the concrete coring equipment to function efficiently. Even with the overflow of water, special collection system surrounding the concrete coring equipment normally minimizes any water spillage that would cause a mess to the surroundings. A need for a concrete coring service needs to be put in place, if not in all, most regions. Here the supposed duties vary with the magnitude of work, but the main duties among others would be cutting and coring to a construction industry. In addition to that, a concrete coring service can also do some sort of demolition or renovation depending on the agreement in the work proposal. A company by the name of Concrete Coring Services started its operations in the early 80's. This means, they have got the technical expertise to meet customers' requirements and specific needs. This is what has guaranteed the company such a large customer base compared to their competitors.

Rosé is here to stay, and other international wine trends
By Jessica Allen - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - 0 Comments
You can't find a bottle of wine for under $5 in most Canadian liquor stores, despite the fact that low-cost vino makes up 70 per cent of wine consumption globally. The irony was not lost on the crowd at the Jan. 22 Vinexpo news conference that detailed the results of a global study on current wine and spirit trends. They even giggled after seeing a chart breaking down world wine consumption by price in 2007 to 2011 with a forecast to 2016. In 2011, almost 70 per cent of wine sales were for bottles under $5 USD. Twenty-one per cent were for bottles priced between $5 and $10, and the remaining nine percent were for wines costing more than $10. The next chart broke down Canada's consumption in the same way, only there wasn't even an under $5 category (see the first two slides below).
But Vinexpo chairman Xavier de Eizaguirre–and Baron Philippe de Rothschild's managing director–looked on the bright side of Canadians having practically no access to wines $5 and under. They tend to be of poorer quality, he said. Think of it as training our palates to not accept cheap plonk.
