#FridayFlash: Ghosts in a Can
Paul Temberson blinked and frowned, but looked out her synth-window at Tranquility Base for a couple seconds. Deimos Recycling needed him more than he needed them, and this HR flack knew it. But it wouldn't do to piss her off too much; she might spite her own company to score a point. "A problem? What?"
"You checked 'Other' for Religion and wrote down 'none.' Our application has checkboxes for 'Unaffiliated' or 'Atheist,' if they apply." She drummed four fingers on the edge of the desk, then tapped the icon that brought up his application. "We can fix that right now, if you'd like to change it. Then we can move on to some other paperwork."
"Oh. I was going to ask about that," said Paul. "I thought it was illegal to ask for religious affiliation, but I didn't want to raise a fuss about it."
Cynthia pursed her lips for a moment. He hasn't done his research, she thought. "Actually, for us it's the opposite." She tapped at her desk for a moment. "Not only is it legal for us to ask, it's a legal obligation. Here's the governing regs. I'm surprised you haven't read them already." She pushed the icon across the desk, giving it a two-fingered twist. It opened, the corners throwing off sparkles and eddies, which annoyed her. "Section three dot four, paragraph six." Pulling up the messenger, she tapped @IT - did you upgrade my desktop and not restore prefs? Plain theme, please. Sparkly isn't professional.
"Huh," he said, tapping the document closed and pushing it back across the desk. "I wouldn't have believed it. I did my homework, but never expected that in the regs. So why do you have to ask?"
"Because we can't put atheists on a salvage crew."
"Yup. Insurers won't cover that situation, and they got the government to update the regs so we're covered."
"But why?" Paul looked truly curious.
Cynthia leaned back in her chair. This was always the hard part. "Before you recycle a can, you have to take care of the ghosts."
He looked baffled. "Ghosts. You mean like stealth hackware?"
She sighed. "I mean ghosts. The spirits of dead humans that haven't moved on."
"You're serious," he said after a long pause. "But what do ghosts have to—and what difference does it make?"
"This is something the government and the corps don't like to talk about," said Cynthia. "You can imagine why. But cans—orbital habitats—are abandoned after a few decades simply because the ghosts get to be too much to deal with. It's something about dying in micro-gee. Habitats on the moon, Mars, even larger asteroids, don't have that problem."
"Well, you can change me to Unaffiliated." Paul nodded. "But why do atheists have problems?"
"Because when faced with proof of an afterlife, a few of them lose it. Anything from nervous breakdowns to full-blown psychoses. The vast majority adjust their beliefs, but there are enough problems that insurers just don't want to deal with it." Cynthia tapped at the application.
"Okay, I can see that," said Paul. "You hear things, especially from people from out past Mars, but you put it down to sendep. Sorry, sensory deprivation."
A message popped up: Sorry. We've adjusted your prefs. Rebooting now.
"Not now!" Cynthia growled, then looked up at Paul. "Sorry. IT just rebooted my desktop."
Paul laughed. "That's one reason I'd like to take this job. Trank's nice, but you don't have to deal with flakes like that in orbit. Everyone's watching out for everyone else."
"Right. So when my desktop comes back, I can access the offer letter. You'll need to pick a crew whose spiritual advisor is compatible with your beliefs, but we have most of the major rituals represented. The spirit guides—the ones who actually help the ghosts move on—are either Tibetan or Native American. But your interactions with them will be at a professional level." She stood and stretched her hand across the desk. "Welcome to Deimos Recycling, Mr. Temberson. We're looking forward to having you on one of our crews."

Heh, this was fun. Ghosts truly would end up being another factor to deal with in the corporate infrastructure. I loved the subcontracted spirit guides.

lol, as an atheist who doesn't believe in the afterlife, I would be *delighted* to see ghosts :-D

Thinking "None" doesn't apply in the Religion box so much as "None of your business." It is pretty important, though, when you're about to run into ghosts. Aside from stealth hackware.

An unusual concept Larry.
You've got me wondering about all those beer cans I've taken to the recycle bank over the years now. :) - Fri Jun 15, 05:28:00 PM 2012
- Larry Kollar said...
Thanks, Tony! Ghosts may be a new thing, but HR is forever, right? IT too.
Mazzz, see? You'd be fine. I know a few though, I call them "evangelic atheists," who go around insisting to anyone who will listen that there's no God. It's like they're trying to convince themselves… those would be the ones to crack. :-D
JohnW, that's exactly what Paul was thinking, but didn't want to get *too* snippy.
Thanks, Sonia!
Natalie, welcome to the free-range insane asylum! Glad you liked the story, and I hope you'll hang around.

Gorgeous world building here! I really like how you captured this sense of the world where ghosts live on space station and the recyclers that need to put them to rest.

Thanks, Sylvia!
Craig, I think there's one more flash in this… where they actually go to recycle a can.
Chuck, some things never change, huh?
Glad you liked it, Cindy!

- Katherine Hajer said...
Huh, I would have thought the religious types would have at least as much trouble with ghosts -- given that most Christian branches, at least, have a policy that ghosts don't exist (because they conflict with the idea of going to heaven or "the other place" -- a haunting means you're unjudged and free to be elsewhere).
Still, I like how this was set up and conveyed. I'd love to see more instalments if you were planning any! What would a ghost astronaut be like, anyhow? - Sun Jun 17, 02:46:00 PM 2012
- Larry Kollar said...
Helen, it's only courteous — they're tearing apart the ghosts' (ahem) old haunts, after all!
Thanks, Jack!
Katherine, official policy is one thing. What people believe in practice can often be quite different. (Witness how many American Catholics flout the Church's commandments on birth control.) C.S. Lewis implied that ghosts aren't unjudged, but taking a vacation of sorts. Besides, it doesn't seem important *what* the faith is, just that the recyclers have one.
Yup, there's at least one more story in this, where we'll see some actual action… - Sun Jun 17, 09:33:00 PM 2012
- John Xero said...
I'm not sure ghosts are proof of God, but then I guess that would be one of the debates of the age... Once you've proven ghosts are real, that opens up whole areas previously thought 'kooky' to serious debate and, dare I say... science... ;)
(Not that I'm calling religion kooky, more the spirit whisperer/ occult areas that are sidelined to fairgrounds and select TV channels)
Really love the idea here, Larry, and I really like the way you've woven it in with near-future tech and recognisable IT/ HR woes.
Out of interest, why Tibetan or Native American? Does that not risk moving the spirit on to the wrong afterlife? Would that in itself not cause outcry amongst other religious groups?
So much food for thought. =) - Mon Jun 18, 03:01:00 AM 2012
- John Xero said...
Oh, and afterthought...
In Mike Carey's Felix Castor series there are spirits returning from the afterlife to inhabit their old bodies (zombies, but not the aggressive eat-your-brains type), and this raises (as a minor sub plot) the debate over what rights they have. Many are homeless as their property has passed onto their children, and what responsibilities does the state have.
So if these ghosts are provably the spirits of actual humans, do they want to be moved on? Or is it like sending in a 'ghost hit squad'?
Or is it possible I over-think things...? ;) - Mon Jun 18, 03:04:00 AM 2012
- Icy Sedgwick said...
Not necessarily sure that an atheist would have no belief in an afterlife, but I still love the idea of Richard Dawkins having a mental breakdown at the sight of Casper!
- Mon Jun 18, 07:38:00 AM 2012
- Larry Kollar said...
JohnX, interesting questions. I think the nationality of the spirit guides (as they're called) is more because they tend to be most effective at the job for whatever reasons. [Handwave!] I didn't get into how long a can might be abandoned before a salvage company secures the rights to it… and there's always the possibility that squatters might have to be removed. There could be all sorts of mayhem, legal or physical, involved. I'll have to get into some of it on the sequel.
Icy, I'd love to see that meeting animated! :-D - Mon Jun 18, 10:44:00 PM 2012

CALERA – After a wild third quarter that featured two lead changes, the Calera Lady Bulldogs held on in the fourth for a 56-46 victory over the Pittsburg Lady Panthers on Thursday night.
Taylor Pickett set the pace for the Lady Bulldogs with 22 points. Ashlyn Cooper finished with 13 points and scored eight in the fourth quarter. Lynsie Patton scored 10 points, Raylee Rogers scored eight, and Micaela Curtman finished with three points to round out the scoring for Calera.
"I thought we played better defense than we have in while and the game started to change for us in the third quarter," said Calera head coach Lachelle Brown.
After a back-and-forth first quarter, the Lady Panthers led by five midway through the second. The Lady Bulldogs closed the gap and on the last play of the first half, Pickett scored three points the old-fashioned way to make it 28-26, Pitt.
The Lady Bulldogs tied the game twice before ending the third quarter on a 6-0 scoring run to take a 42-37 lead heading into the fourth. Both teams were in the bonus early in the fourth quarter and the Lady Bulldogs sank some clutch free-throws down the stretch to hang on for the win.
"I thought Taylor (Pickett) and Ashlyn (Cooper) both did a good job tonight and Raylee Rogers also did a good job of shutting down their post player," said Brown.
The win gives the Lady Bulldogs a regular-season record of 7-5 and they will have several days off before hosting the Colbert Lady Leopards on January 4.
The Calera Bulldogs made it look easy against the Pittsburg Panthers in the second game of the evening with a 59-26 win.
Preston Barkley was the leading scorer for the Bulldogs and finished with 17 points. Braxton Barton chipped in 12 points. Dakota Adams and Christian Baker also scored in double-figures with 10 points each.
Barkley scored seven of the first nine Calera points as the Bulldogs jumped out to an early 17-4 lead in the first quarter. Barton and Barkley both scored six in the second quarter and the Bulldogs outscored Pitt 16-7 in the second quarter to take a 33-11 lead into the locker room.
Calera continued to pour it on in the second half and Adams scored eight of his ten points in the third quarter. The Bulldogs mopped things up in the fourth to finish strong.
"I don't think the guys have really been having too much fun in the last couple of games but tonight they looked a lot more relaxed and enjoyed it," said Calera head coach Justin Pierce.
Next up on the schedule for the Bulldogs will be a matchup with the Colbert Leopards on January 4.

Shannon Taggart Basement Vodou Photo Series Are Fascinating
Shannon Taggart's 'Basement Vodou' photo series is a continuation of her fascination with rituals and religion. For years she's been documenting spiritualists in upstate New York and in this series she explores the arcane and often misunderstood Haitian religion of Vodou. Like many documentaries of this kind Taggart had to find a way in and for this series the door was opened by a female Vodou priest, or Mambo, called Rose Marie Pierre who runs a temple in the basement of a small shop in Brooklyn, New York.
This basement is the scene for her series; the priests and laymen undergoing possession by the Loa — powerful spirits that act as intermediaries between humankind and Vodou's distant god, Bondye. Vodou rituals are mostly concerned with contacting the spirits and having them summoned, consulted and appeased. This act of summoning requires elaborate preparations depending on who the spirit is including the believers placing offerings on an altar and then indicating which particular spirit they wish summoned by drawing its 'vever', or symbol, in cornmeal sprinkled on the floor. Dancing and songs then bring the Loa to life and when the spirit finally possesses the worshipper everything becomes wild and intense. Here's how Taggart describes it:
There is screaming and thrashing…sometimes [congregants] run around the room as if confused. It can happen suddenly, so it's often jarring. People immediately gather around the one possessed and assist them with what they need and catch them if they collapse. Mambo Rose Marie is always surprised (sometimes shocked) to see my documentation of what has taken place while she was possessed.
Vodou has been ridiculed and maligned in Western culture for hundreds of years – no surprise there I hear you say- but there are a few myths that we can put to bed right now. Firstly, animal sacrifice is not arbitrary nor cruel rather the sacrifices are made to rejuvenate the spirits after the ceremony and all chickens, pigs, goats and cows are killed humanely and eaten immediately. It probably derived – like most religious rituals – out of cultural necessity. In Haiti, where there was no safe way to store meat, the practice provided people with a regular source of safe nourishment.
Seceondly, the presence of weapons in Vodou ceremonies. Weapons are not used to harm others. Instead, they are relics of Haitian slavery that Vodou practitioners have appropriated as symbols of their faith in the same way that the cross is a relic of Christian persecution.
This is a fascinating documentary series and there are alot more images for you to see on Taggarts site. I suggest you do.

Outpatient Therapies and Rehabilitation at the John and Marnie Demmer Wellness Pavilion and Dialysis Center
One Dedicated Location Meeting Outpatient Needs in a State-of-the-Art Facility
Healthcare does not begin with the onset of an illness or end when the patient goes home. On the contrary, total wellness often requires treatments and services beyond the traditional hospital setting. Those needing diabetes education, cardiovascular rehabilitation, physical and occupational therapy, and even regular dialysis will realize the benefits of treatment in a setting specifically designed to promote healing and wellness.
Dedicated Environments, Specifically Created for Maximum Benefit
The Everett Kircher Dialysis Area Dialysis: Every Hour Counts The restrictions of dialysis are considerably more tolerable with advanced technology and comfort options created especially for the patient.
Speech and Language Pathology Communication Skills Therapists address those conditions affecting speech patterns or vocalization. Through a process of clinical exercises, modeling, and feedback, patients can maximize their progress.
Diabetes Center Take Control Diabetes management — through dietary changes, exercise and educational programs, and medication — requires the right information. Physicians, dieticians, diabetes educators, and registered nurses assist patients in making important and necessary lifestyle changes.
Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation Making Gains, Measuring Progress Rehabilitation, appropriate to the patient's condition, allows the patient to regain strength, learn new skills, or make the necessary adaptations to optimize overall health and wellness.
Physical and Occupational Therapies Strengthening Old Skills, Learning New Ones When daily life is adversely affected through aging, trauma, or disease, physical and occupational therapies are prescribed. Structured to regain strength and skills, or to compensate and replace lost abilities, these therapies increase quality of life and return patients to an appropriate functional level.
Pediatric Rehabilitation For Our Youngest Patients Specially trained pediatric therapists use gentle, healing methods to reach children, adolescents, and teens with special needs as a result of illness, injury, or birth defect.
Wellness Counseling and Education A Teachable Moment Knowledge is key to realizing and then maintaining a life of good health. Skilled professionals create individualized regimens to guide patients through lifestyle changes.

Ingredients: Mica, Boron Nitride, Dimethicone, Pine Bark Extract, Pomegranate Extract. May Contain: Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides, Carmine, Manganese Violet, Ultramarines, Chromium Oxide Greens.
Our highly pigmented shadows are simple to blend, sensitivity-tested and they stay put for gorgeous, crease-free, long-lasting eye color.
This is the best product I have use, as a non make-up user. It looks and feels natural and I have had compliments on my eyes.
PurePressed is the best eyeshadow product I've ever used. It applies well, doesn't crease or smudge, and lasts ALL day! I LOVE the Ecru shade! It blends perfectly with my skin tone and looks totally natural.
Jane Iredale pressed powder eyeshadow is the best I've ever tried. I'm addicted - especially to Ecru -- wonderful for concealing the redness on my upper lids (caused by that Rx Lash Lengthener). Fabulous product -- I dont't ever want to go without it.
The eye shadows are wonderful. I have sensitive eyes and have been able to wear a limited selection of eye shadows not only from a specific brand (Bare Escentuals) but limited in shades because whatever the red product that manufactures used to create a brown was irritating. I love browns and rust and these shadows cause absolutely NO irritation and I did not have to remove. I share the same delima with lipsticks and nail varnish...maybe I might be able to find a rust shade of lipstick and nail varnish from Jane Iredale that does not peel the skin off my lips or casue my cuticles to become red and irritated. My next order will be shades of eye colur. Bobbi from Sandy Springs, GA
This color is a soft shade of beige. If you like a natural look you will love this. It blends into skin so perfectly and smoothly that I actually use it to conceal imperfections, dark circles and the veiny look around my eyelids. I also dot on freckles after my foundation. I wish they made this color for that specific function in a larger compact with a little applicator brush. I would definitely keep this in my purse for blemish touch ups Hint hint :)
...are my absolute favorite shades! Supernova adds shimmer and depth and looks perfect with my brown eyes! Also, Wines & Roses is a gorgeous color. I saw it and just had to have it. Best of all, it doesn't bother my sensitive eyes, and I know it's good for my skin!
great product never irritates eyes. You need more shades of green available
The saturation and coverage of this eye shadow is amazing. It was recommended for blue eyes, which it does off-set nicely. However the orange tint makes me look like I've been crying.
I am very happy with all the other Jane Iredale products I've tried, except for the eye shadow in Bone. I bought it for a subtle matte shadow for day wear to brighten my blue eyes. This shadow has very low (ie invisible) color saturation. It looks like I dusted my lids with translucent powder.
Jane Iredale customer service sent me Allure as an exchange for the Bone eyeshadow (which I recently reviewed). Allure is a pale sparkly neutral shade with dense coverage that brightens my dark eye lids. I'm pale with perpetual dark circles and this shadow makes we look wide awake. Such wonderful customer service makes purchasing these products as enjoyable as wearing them. Thank you.
I love how soft they are and I love Ecru. I used to wear Chanel.....no more......I will always wear Ecru. Thank you for the lovely products.
I put this eyeshadow on at 5pm. When I returned home from dinner at 10pm, it was gone. What remained, was creasd into my lid. It showed off every little crease and wrinkle in my eyelid and corner of my eye. I even used my normal eye shadow base, and powder, and then put the eyeshadow over that. Despite all of that, this did not stay one. Now I have to pay for return shipping on eyeshadow is probably the worst I've ever used. I've been so happy with the foundations, I thought this would be equally good. It's definitely not. I'm returning it all and buying my eyeshadow elsewhere.
I just bought this color and LOVE it! It's the perfect color to enhance my brown eyes, dark hair, and pale skin. I recently replaced all of my mineral eyeshadows and purchased only Jane Iredale because it does not contain bismuth oxychloride which irritate my skin. I also like the matt color options available.
I have several of the PurePressed Eye Shadows. The truly last, I love all of them! My favorites for daywear are the Cream all over my lid and the Slate Brown on the lower lid and crease

Baby brother of the Asus Zenbook UX31E, the Asus Zenbook UX21E takes the same basic shape and shrinks it down to an even more compact size. With an 11-inch screen, the smaller Zenbook is less than 30cm wide and weighs in at just 1.154kg, so this Ultrabook might be a good option for people on the move.

Look at all of this... wow!

Whenever I go to NYC I always go to Crumbs & get the Bababooey or Artie Lange
Cupcakes kick ass
think I'm flying (probably just falling)
Amazing how well Howie feeds them...
..when someone is providing the food for free.
I'm glad cupcakes have made a resurgence in the last few years (although, they don't need to be that size). They're a nice memory of childhood. When I had to coordinate catered lunches in past jobs, everyone - old, young, man, woman - loved the cupcakes and there were never any left.
My posts are merely conjecture and opinion; furthermore, they have no relation to anyone living or deceased.
Crumbs is pretty good but Magnolia's DESTROYS them.
I'm as straight as the line that you sniff up your nose / And I'm as hard as the booze that you swill down your throat / and I'm as bad as the shit you breath into your lungs / And I'll fuck you up as fast as the pill on your tongue!
Looks good.
I think Cupcake Wednesday is Howeave's way of giving them a raise? Because giving marbles away is not Howard's style.
What am I saying? Howeave wouldn't even schill for this. These cupcakes must be from sponsors or something
Howard, my weakness is the black and white cookies, gary dell'abate

It looks like a child's birthday party. They are so disconnected from reality.

Oklahoma football: Jalen Saunders grew into the man his father had hoped he'd be
The Fresno State transfer has developed into a heck of a receiver, which is good news for the Sooners
NORMAN — Following Oklahoma's loss to Notre Dame, wide receiver Jalen Saunders sat at breakfast with his parents with little to say.
His father, Walter, had been around a quiet Jalen many times before. He coached his eldest son in everything from basketball to track since he was age 4.

NewsOK Related Articles
Walter knew now was the time to be dad — to see how Jalen was liking classes and Oklahoma, to talk about non-football things.
That night, back home in California, Walter sent his son a few text messages about things he could improve.
Talk to Jalen Saunders about his performance that night against Notre Dame — when he turned out 15 receptions with a record eight catches in the first quarter — and he refuses to glorify himself.
Talk to Jalen about his father — who's raised him not to be a good football player but also a good man — and he talks of a person who is not only his father but his coach, his brother and his best friend.
Jalen and Walter shared a lot of time together over the years. There are a lot of times they won't talk about because they prefer to not relive the days, but it's an integral part of who Jalen Saunders is and how he came to Oklahoma.
It started when Jalen was 4. He'd just finished playing a basketball game with a bunch of 7-year-olds. Jalen scored "something like 38 points." His dad was shocked as he drove the car home. Walter was staring out the front windshield, trying to pay attention to the road but also comprehend what just happened when he felt Jalen's tiny fingers tap his shoulder.
"Daddy," Jalen said. "Can you start a track team for me?"
OK, Walter said. He'd give his son anything he wanted if Jalen showed dedication to it. "Why? What's up?"
"I need you to start a track team because I need to get faster, because in a couple years I'm going to play football," Jalen continued. "And I'm playing football so I can go to the NFL.
"Just that matter of fact. Just point blank," Walter said. "I almost crashed the car because I was welling up with tears. My wife grabbed my leg. I don't get very emotional, but when I heard that, I thought, 'Oh, my baby! Oh my gosh!'
"It was that moment that I knew and I told him, 'If that's what you want, it's my job to prepare you for it.'"
A few months later, Walter — a former track runner and wide receiver at the University of Idaho — began to coach Jalen's first track team.
Walter and Jalen began to travel across America — to Texas, Florida, New York, Maryland, Nebraska — to see different levels of speed. Walter took Jalen to compete in seven junior Olympics. He taught him how to dribble a basketball and play more than one position on the football field. Walter taught Jalen how to catch a football.
He'd run with Jalen and beat him to show him how he needed to still improve.
Jalen used to ask him, "Dad why are you still training?"
"I told him, 'Son, I'm not just training to be what I once was,'" Walter said. "'I'm training for life.'"
When Jalen was 15, the relationship between father and son was almost cut short.
In a course of six months, Walter had gone from having severe headaches, to being diagnosed with San Joaquin Valley Fever before dropping 100 pounds lying in a hospital bed.

Every three years, the New York Wine & Grape Foundation teams up with Cornell Cooperative Extension on a major "Viticulture" conference, which next year will be the 2013 version on Feb. 6 through 8 at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center.
The three-day conference and trade show includes dozens of seminars on viticulture, enology, wine marketing, legal and regulatory issues, and financial management, always starting with a "big bang" on the first morning.
Next year, that means the trio of John Gillespie (President of the Wine Market Council), Danny Brager (Vice President of the Nielsen Company) and Dr. Greg Carpenter (Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University) giving an overview of wine market trends in the United States.
Then California wine journalist Dan Berger will offer his perspective on where New York stands in the national scene, joined by officials from National Grape Cooperative/Welch Foods and Constellation Brands on what all this means to New York growers and vintners.
Another first-day feature of the conference is the Northern Grapes Project sessions of viticulture, enology, and marketing orchestrated by Dr. Tim Martinson of Cornell Cooperative Extension who secured a $3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to study the emergence and potential of "cold climate varieties" along with colleagues in many other states.
And that's only the beginning. There are lots of other topics and great speakers over the three days, along with our Unity Banquet, a major trade show, and all kinds of industry networking opportunities. All of this will soon be posted on a special web site, but for now just mark your calendar for Feb. 6-8. It's not to be missed. .
Jim Trezise of Penn Yan has been the President of the New York Wine & Grape Foundation since 1985 and President of the International Riesling Foundation since 2011.

Sticker shock: Why are glasses so expensive?

One factor: the world's largest eyewear company, the Italian firm Luxottica, controls a big chunk of the business. Lesley Stahl reports.

- Check out this site. We were quoted 300 from out local chain optical store. Got top of the line lenses and just the frame wanted for 70 bucks. Got a second set of polycarbonate single vision for 25. They are perfect. Prescription is sharp as tack. Will never go to a chain again. Hopefully Lux wont but these folks out.

- Here is a great response in a clever way to this 60 Minutes story on Luxottica. LE3 is representing the independent eyewear sector - the part of the eyewear industry 60 Minutes forgot to mention or acknowledge in their story... Not everything is Luxottica and not everything is overprices...there are quality products out there too and independent opticians that offer real service.

- I do not work in the optical industry, but since many of the post are from industry experts perhaps you could help me. My background has only caused me to have more questions than answers
During my last two years of college my photography skills earned me a part time job with a local studio. I quickly learned during this time of film cameras that the quality of the lens was far more important than the box that held the film. I used a Zeiss Planar f2.8, the same lens the astronauts used to photograph the moon. Therefore I view the lens as more important for good vision than the frames that hold them.
After graduation I worked my way up through the ranks as a pharmaceutical sales rep. It was then I learned that it was actually the generic drugs, both Rx and house brand OTC items, that had a far greater profit percent for the retailer than did the brand names. Some of the generics were actually made by the same mfg. as the brand name and were of equal quality. That was not always the case however and some of the low cost generics were of such poor quality they were virtually ineffective. Some blood level test revealed some to be less than 25% of what they should be. Today before I take generics I look at who made it. With years in the business I know the manufactures so it's easy for me, but may not be for the average consumer.
When it comes to eye glass lenses I don't have that inside knowledge and think maybe generics were pushed on me because of a larger profit percent. I had always purchased Varilux progressive lenses with great results through a local private practice. When I moved to another city I was drawn into Visionworks by a half price sale. I picked out one of their best Flexon frames, but was told by the salesman I was wasting money paying for the Varilux name and should buy their lenses that were equal in quality, but a lot less money. I did so, and the lenses actually turned out to be very good. Next time I needed glasses I was back in for the same lenses but was told they no longer had that exact lenses but did have another that was even better. This time I was not so lucky, the Antireflective coating was so bad it looked like cracking paint. They replaced them but the new lenses are still terrible. After a short time they have somewhat of a fog look and require cleaning several times a day. Walk outside an hour they need cleaning. I always clean my glasses with the same care as any lens. With my glasses I rinse, spray with cleaner and wipe, rinse, dry with a quality lens cloth. Next trip to Visionworks I want my Varilux back. The salesman then tells me they now have a new HD lenses and if I want the best lenses this is it and Varilux has nothing to compare with it. Driving home that night something wasn't right and I had to change back to my old fog glasses. The next day in the sunlight I noticed there was no peripheral vision, somewhat like looking through binoculars.
My family member's medical needs followed by her death prevented my returning them to the store, which is almost 4 hours roundtrip away, so I am past their 30 day period and probably have two pair to throw away. I don't want to make a mistake again. I'm looking at going back to Varilux but the Crizal ad claiming less cleaning problem is appealing and I think they may be made by the same company
So in short, I am looking for the BEST Progressive lenses available and I don't mind paying for the best. I would really appreciate any input from those of you that are truly knowledgeable of high quality progressive lenses.
I also added this comment as a reply to two post from people who indicated knowledge of progressive lenses in hopes they could help. Sorry for the duplication but I'm really looking for all the expert input I can get. - Reply to this comment
- Eyewear is expensive in a shop. No matter if this is purchased from a Walmart or an independent optician selling Luxottica fare. And quality is a very subjective matter. Some frames from high priced brand names will break much sooner then you'd expect, whereas lower priced frames sometimes will last for many years.
Is it any surprise that while optical shops are facing stagnating sales in these hard times, the sales of eye wear through online shops is booming? Just look at their visitor numbers and it clear there is a 20-30% increase in this sales channel per year.
As much as opticians try to talk down the online shops, it is a reality that savings of 80% or more are possible. And these online shops are not stupid. Some are investing very significantly in the development of tools to address the very things opticians hammer on, such as correct vertical placement of the lenses and a correct adjustment of the frame to the customers' face.
Of course, opticians are concerned of what the internet future has in store for them. But in my opinion, we'll see a significant increase in sales of eye wear over the internet in the next few years. Sites like www.visio-rx.com clearly show that buying your glasses online is a safe way to get good quality glasses for a very competitive price.
Is there a market for $300 or $800 glasses. Sure. But the reality is that many people will not spend this on a pair of shoes. Nor will (or can) they spend this on a pair of glasses. In those cases, a good quality pair from an online source is not a bad thing. - Reply to this comment
- This tread makes my blood boil!
For one, a lot of comments going against the report are from people who would have a serious conflict of interest. I'm talking about people who make over $100,000 a year from the business, store owners and "doctors."
Second, the cost of manufacturing glasses, cheaper models or "premium" ones, is still less than $30. It's plastic. If you think the premium models like Gucci and L.V. are worth it because of the material and workmanship, then you're not well informed, as China can do it cheaper, plastic is cheap, and it's all mass produced. A small part of the profit goes to the worker, a lot goes to cover the store and the eye doctor's salary, and another piece of the pie goes to the big corp.
Third, a lot of people have no idea how much cheaper glasses are in other countries. In Korea, for example, a new frame with lenses costs anywhere from $30 to over $500, the average being $70 or so. Anything over $120 is usually a foreign brand like Kenneth Cole or Gucci or a higher end local product.
In Korea, glasses are so affordable because there are a number of domestic producers, something that America outsourced long ago. In addition, their system isn't dictated by the "doctor" guild and insurance industry. In Korea, there are eye technicians who do the work that our "doctors" do, but for a fraction of the cost, which drives down cost. Moreover, more local competition with solid quality pushes down the price to something more reasonable.
I'm not trying to insult the profession, but I believe that this one, like many others, are overpaid, which then push the cost onto the consumer. In korea, an exam takes 5 minutes, require no appointment, and is FREE!
The eye business in the U.S., like many others, is failing the consumer.
For the difficult-to-do face-fitting argument, that's a joke! When I had a problem in Korea, they fixed my glasses in a second and for free.
Seriously people, there are many great ideas that we can learn from other countries. However, the groups who want to defend the status quo are often stronger with great motivation, as they have a lot more to lose and gain, but the average consumer is not so informed or organized.
Thank you, Frontline! Amazing work for getting many consumers to rethink about their choices and for raising greater awareness.

- I have owned an independent high end optical store for 25 years, Ray Ban being our lowest end line. Most of the lines we carry are from little family owned companies out of Europe and they are just as expensive if not more than most of the Luxottica lines. I will tell you that there is a huge difference in quality in frames and materials. Cheap frames have finishes that wear out quickly and when bent, easily break. Quality frames last longer and are much more repairable.
Leslie, I bet you are wearing expensive clothing and shoes to all the public events you attend when you need to look your best. Or do you buy your clothes at Costco and Walmart? I understand Costco twists arms to get the lowest price from their vendors and it has destroyed so many small businesses with their financial power!
Do a story about that!
I certainly do not appreciate Luxottica being a competitor to our business, but they provide quality and are a very fair company to work with otherwise.
That was actually a cruel commentary that hurts our profession even more so in these times of recession. You exaggerated many points that unfortunately only us eyewear professionals detect and the general public won't. - Reply to this comment
- I have a couple CHANEL frames and I know that they were made by LUX but what I don't like is that on CHANEL.COM they have a video of the CHANEL company and the process of making glasses and they make it seem that is all done by CHANEL and I don't think that is true. IT IS?

Mini lamb burgers recipe
These mini lamb burgers are perfect party food to feed the crowd. They are moist and flavoursome, poked into a teeny tiny bun with some great accompaniments. Serve them at your kids parties or grown-up cocktail parties today.
After school snacks, BBQ, Christmas, Dinner, Finger food, Hamburger, Lamb, Mince, Party food, Snacks
Prep Time:
20 minutes
Cook Time:
20 minutes
Lamb burger patties
- 1kg lamb mince
- 1 red onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1/3 cup tomato sauce
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup parsley, chopped
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Other ingredients
- rocket
- mayonnaise
- mozzarella cheese, grated
- tomato sauce
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper and set aside.
Place all of the patty ingredients, except the olive oil, into a food processor and process until combined. Form them into small patties.
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and fry each patty for 2 minutes each side to brown. Place on the baking tray and bake for 20 minutes.
Preheat the griller.
Split your buns and place the rocket on each one with a dollop of mayonaise. Place a patty on top with a little cheese.
Place under the griller for 3 minutes until the cheese is just melted. Add some tomato sauce to each burger and place the bun on top. Serve immediately.
- If you try to fry these little lamb patties in the pan until cooked through they just dry out. Cooking them in the oven in bulk is a much faster way to feed a hungry crowd. You can brown these the day before and pop them into the oven when you are ready to eat.
- I like to serve a nice bowl of tzatziki beside these burgers. The dip matches very well with lamb flavours.
- Be really careful to watch when you are melting the cheese. You want it just melted on your hamburger.

We have a 2 node production cluster where the 2 nodes are sharing a single database. We are trying to implement Spring SAML and have confirmed it works on a single test server.
We don't have any kind of session state sharing between the 2 nodes in the cluster, as we just use sticky sessions in the load balancer to keep each user stuck to one of the nodes. Would you think that Spring SAML would work in this kind of setup, or is there state between SAML http communications that needs to be shared between the two nodes?
Also, if we implemented Spring Security session state sharing between the nodes would that help?

The Carroll County Board of Supervisors has agreed to pay up to $12,000 to cover a local baseball team's expenses for the Dixie Pre-Majors World Series in Guntersville, Alabama.
The board unanimously passed a motion during its July 16 meeting to send Carroll County's Dixie Pre-Majors' baseball team (ages 15-17) to the Dixie Pre-Majors World Series, which begins with Opening Ceremonies July 27 in Alabama. Carroll County earned the World Series berth by beating Halifax County in the Virginia State Tournament Championship on July 11 in South Boston.
The Carroll team, coached by Larry Snow, will be just the third in county history to make a trip to the Dixie World Series. After Carroll's 13- and 14-year-old Dixie Boys captured the state crown in 1987, no county team had accomplished the feat again until the Carroll Dixie Pre-Majors did it in 2009.
"It's a big honor for Carroll County or any other team to get to go. And the Recreation Department will need extra funds for the bus trip and expenses while they are there," Supervisors' Chairman Sam Dickson said. "The last time (in 2009) we allotted $10,000 and it ended up costing about $12,000."
Dickson said the board could approve $12,000 of funding to send the team to Alabama this year, and if it cost less than that, the county could reclaim what is leftover. Pine Creek District Supervisor Bob Martin then made a motion for the county to allow up to $12,000 to send the Dixie Pre-Majors team to Alabama.
"I think it's a good pat on the back for Carroll County and all the coaches that have put in long hours and the kids that have practiced long hours to go there. I am strongly in favor it," Martin said. "I move we allot up to $12,000 for the Dixie Pre-Majors to go to Alabama to the World Series."
Sulphur Springs District Supervisor David Hutchins echoed Martin's thoughts. He said he was sure some people would argue that the county could find better things to do with $12,000, but he thought this group of kids did a tremendous job.
"The same thing with the team in 2009, they didn't win, but they represented Carroll County well and I think it's an honor to have a team there," Hutchins said. "I'd second that motion."
Dickson said while $12,000 is a lot of money, it's also an investment in the county's youth.
"If you can keep a third of them off drugs, it's my belief that you save money later by keeping them out of jail," Dickson said. "We may have a 10- to 15-year dry spell when we don't have a team (go to the World Series) and I think we need to send them off."
The board then unanimously passed the motion to allot up to $12,000 to send the Carroll team to the World Series in Alabama.

A lawmaker from opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy party, Phyo Min Thein, says the two houses of parliament might agree Wednesday to form the commission.
The NLD has long said that the constitution is undemocratic because of provisions that allow the military to control a substantial percentage of parliamentary seats and disqualify Suu Kyi from running for the presidency.
However, the proposal to establish the commission comes from President Thein Sein's ruling Union Solidarity and Development Party. Some members of the party say they want to change provisions concerning state governments to allow ethnic minorities increased self-rule.
Conflict with ethnic minorities seeking greater autonomy has bedeviled Myanmar since it obtained independence from Britain in 1948, and has often involved armed rebellions.
If parliament votes to establish the body, its first task will be to determine if the constitution should be amended.
The constitution was basically dictated by the former military government in which Thein Sein served as prime minister, and the USDP was set up largely to serve the military's interests.
Since coming to office in 2011, Thein Sein has instituted a series of significant
While USDP members says a constitutional review is not aimed at meeting Suu Kyi's demands, the process sends a signal that the government party is flexible and perhaps willing to make some sort of deal with her party before the 2015 general election.
Aye Mauk, a USDP lawmaker, said a constitution review committee would deal with chapters regarding ethnic minorities, and other political issues would likely also be considered.
"Some modifications of the constitution have to be made after peace talks with ethnic groups and issues regarding autonomy in state and region levels will be considered during the review process," he said. One provision that might be changed is the president's prerogative to appoint state-level chief ministers. Many border areas dominated by ethnic minorities would like to elect their own.
Phyo Min Thein suggested the ruling party proposal was meant to reward Suu Kyi for her moderate position in a dispute over a copper mine. Suu Kyi headed a committee that recommended that operations at the Letpadaung copper mine in northwestern Myanmar be allowed to continue to honor the joint venture contract with neighboring China and reassure potential foreign investors.
Residents near the mine had mounted strong protests against it, and said they were greatly disappointed that Suu Kyi failed to support their demands that the mine stop operating because of environmental damage.

Woman airlifted to hospital after A595 crash
Last updated at 09:26, Sunday, 29 April 2012
A woman motorist has been flown to hospital in Newcastle after a two-car accident on the A595 near Parton.
The accident happened at 3.15pm on Saturday.
The section of road involved - known as the Parton Mile Road - was closed as fire crews from Workington and Whitehaven worked alongside other emergency workers.
The firefighters, who called in the air ambulance, had to use heavy cutting equipment to free the injured woman from her vehicle.
She was treated at the scene by paramedics and later flown by air ambulance to hospital in Newcastle.
No details have yet been released about her injuries.
Two other women had managed to get out of the car before the emergency services arrived.
Fire service station manager Andrew Ingrams said: "There were three female casualties and two of them had managed to get out of the car before we arrived but one was trapped in her vehicle. Paramedics were there as well as ourselves and the police.
"It was quite a difficult extrication. We were working alongside the paramedics.
"The woman who was trapped was the driver of one of the cars."
A spokesman for Cumbria police confirmed that the injured woman was flown to hospital in Newcastle.
He added: "We would like to appeal for witnesses to get in touch."
Anyone with information should call police on 101.

I just joined a nifty women's book club yesterday. The 12 of us were treated to some wonderful refreshments by the host: among the stand-outs, a refreshing cool and sweetened beverage,Pineapple-Basil Tea,and a whipped cream, toasted coconut custard, pecan shortbread confection I am still swooning over. Seriously! (And, then there was her home, decorated to the nines with amazing Christmas decor. But that's a subject for another message board.) Who can share some of their VIP cold or warm refreshments (sweet and/or savory)that would be appreciated by a group of to 12 - 15 women. The meetings are held monthly, on Wednesday, from 2 - 3:45 p.m. Almost all of us are in our late 50's to late 60's: no health issues, from what I can discern. (I love to cook, but also don't want to spend an inordinate amount of time with prep; just like most of us.) I don't know when I'll be called on to host, but I want to be prepared. Whatever you can suggest would be much appreciated.This message has been edited. Last edited by: aychihuahua, | |||
So it was a drink and a nosh? Did it follow the theme of the book (some book clubs do and I wondered since it was pineapple and coconut thought the book might be set in a tropical locale) If the book determines the theme of the food, you might have to wait until you know when it is your turn but . . . that being said -- some favorites of ours: espresso shortbread (always cut them in hearts and dip in shortbread -- they have a crunch from the coffeebeans and the chocolate -- yum) madeleines -- made with orange and rosemary or lavender -- they're a simple tea cake (and you need a special pan but they are really good especially if you fix herbal ones) Ina Garten's bark (she does both white chocolate and chocolate) and it's outstanding with cashews, dried cranberries apricots, etc. chocolate ganache cake (another of Ina's and so easy and so chocolatey) -- can be made in cupcakes as well as a single layer cake. Drinks -- almond tea cinnamon iced tea lavender lemonade minty iced tea (Probably now the wow factor of your hostess's drink) If you're interested in any of the recipes, I will be happy to share. Martha | ||||
Ay - I'd suggest warm Cranberry Wassail. Spouse and I just had some. Recipe from Oceanspray is below: Ingredients: 1 64-ounce bottle Ocean Spray® Cranberry Juice Cocktail 2 1/2 cups apple juice 1/4 cup sugar, optional 3 3-inch cinnamon sticks 1 teaspoon whole allspice 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg Orange slices, garnish Whole cloves, garnish Directions: Combine all ingredients, except garnishes, in a large saucepan. Heat to boiling, reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Strain punch to remove spices. Place in a heat proof punch bowl. Garnish with orange slices studded with cloves. Makes 14 6-ounce servings. | ||||
For refreshment times when it's my turn, I like to start with a sweet item, pastry in the morning, maybe bars or cookies in the afternoon. Then I add a bit of fresh fruit or vegetable, cheese or ice cream perhaps. It's also nice to have something salty like nuts or cracker. Beverages I try to offer one that is low calorie, one hot, one cold, one no caffeine. However it's not necessary to offer four beverages - coffee and punch or a hot fruit drink and ice water. | ||||
Aychihuahua will get a better feel for the usual refreshments as she gets more comfortable with the group. From her first outing it sounds like they keep it simple - snack and a beverage, not a full blown tea or anything elaborate. The Wassail or warm spiced cider would be good if your turn comes in the winter. Otherwise a couple of tea options would be nice. Something like pecan bars are a favorite treat also if heading towards spring, I love lemon bars. Think about what you like to bake and serve that. No need to be overly stressed about the food. | ||||
Mini brie cups. In a mini muffin pan push a 4" square of puff pastry into the bottom of each muffin holder, put a chunk of brie into the bottom and top with Raspberry or Apricot Jelly, or a combination of both (pear jam also pairs well with brie). Bake at 375 for about 10-12 minutes, or until done. They're good warm or room temp.. One of our daughters made these at Thanksgiving and they were a hit, savory and sweet and very easy! | ||||
I knew you ladies would come through! Great, great ideas. I will steal them all! An aside: regarding the subject matter of the bookclub, it does not lend itself too easily to food themes. It is a reading club that deals with faith in action and social justice issues. | ||||

Our soy candles produce a soothing aroma that invites relaxation and promotes peaceful energy. The soy candle comes with a real soybean on the top to remind you that you're burning a pure soy candle. Our wax is FREE from pesticides, herbicides and genetically modified material. Nature's Karma's soy candles are made with GMO-free, organic, US farmed soybean wax and cotton wicks. Infused with essential oils and premium fragrance oils for the perfect aromas. Soy candles are the great consumer choice for green candles - made from 100% natural plant wax that won't pollute the air! Soy candles are eco-friendly, clean burning, and best of all, made from a renewable resource! The perfect compliment to any environmentally conscious consumer and a comforting addition to any "green" home.
When you burn your soy candle for the first time, it is important to remember that it has a memory. Please be sure to burn it long enough for the wax to be fully melted across the width of the candle. A full melt pool on the first burn will ensure an even burn in subsequent burns and avoid the wax "tunneling". This will allow your candle to get a full melt pool, thus increasing the scent dispersion. A correct burn releases the maximum fragrance. Also trim your wicks in between burning; this will extend the life of your candle.

The state police held two classes this year with 340 recruits, graduating 133 in October. That was the first class since 2009.
The Cuomo administration is proposing a $732 million budget for state police for the year starting April 1.
