I really don't want to do this blog, but I do think that's it's time for it. The End To The Era I do believe has BEGUN.
Mark William Calaway (born March 24, 1965) The Undertaker. He is signed to WWE and is the company's most tenured performer, and he is one of the only remaining active competitors from the very first episode of WWE Raw in 1993. Calaway began his wrestling career with World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW) in 1984. He joined World Championship Wrestling (WCW) as "Mean" Mark Callous in 1989. When WCW did not renew Calaway's contract in 1990, Calaway signed with the World Wrestling Federation. After debuting as Kane the Undertaker, the name was shortened to the Undertaker and he has remained with the company since.
I remember the day that Mark walked down the ramp and entered the WWF ( at that time ) ring. Calaway made his WWF debut as "Kane the Undertaker" at a taping of WWF Superstars on November 19, 1990. His original Deadman persona depicted him as wearing a trench coat and black hat with grey gloves and boot covers. Under this Deadman persona, he was portrayed as impervious to pain, something accomplished by Calaway no-selling his opponents' attacks. Calaway made his official on-camera debut on November 22 at Survivor Series as a heel when he was the mystery partner of Ted DiBiase's Million Dollar team, where he was called Kane the Undertaker.
The Undertaker has had ONE HELL OF A WWF WWE RUN. I grew up watching him for the last 20 plus years. All the way from the WCW to today. Undertaker has one of the greatest running streaks in Pro Wrestling and in Sports period. The streak is so big that it made espn news more than once. I was excited that WWF WWE actually found a gimmick that has worked this long in this business. From the beginning Vince knew what he was doing right from the start. There has been many superstars that have had a great run, but Taker has had the Best and Biggest of them all.
I loved the re-vamping that Vince and Taker has done over the years with the character so that it always came off to us that he is the baddest ass performer of all time. There were some of the persona's that were a lil weird or not as big, but non the less every one of them worked. Vince is going to loose one of the biggest things to ever happen to the WWE since Hulk Hogan of the Eighties.
With the last few years of Takers battles at WM as really taken a major tole on him physically and I'm pretty damn sure mentally as he realizes his time is coming to a close. The list goes on and on. He made his WrestleMania debut at WrestleMania VII, quickly defeating "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka. The win was the first in his 20-0 undefeated streak at the event. All the way to his last match ( we hope not ) At WrestleMania XXVIII, The Undertaker defeated Triple H to extend his streak to 20-0. After the match Undertaker and Michaels carried Triple H to the entrance stage, where the three embraced. Could this be the first step in the door closing forever.
Taker has had a great run in the company and a AWESOME run as the CHAMP as well. Taker is one of the most tenured wrestlers Vince has left besides. Kane and PART TIMER HHH. We are steadily watching the door close on all 3 of these guys, but that's 2 other blogs that can be done for another time. I have never had the pleasure to watch the Superbowl of WWE live, but I have witnessed Taker LIVE more than once. I watched as his movements are very slow and action he is able to bring to the ring is slowly dispersing right in front of our very eyes, that's what does happen after all of these years. The GREATS know when to step away and not return to the very thing they love. ( except RIC FLAIR )
I for one would love to see the Undertaker make the last 2 Wrestlemania's, but unfortunately I am not really sure if Taker can perform well enough to give us all the caliber match we would all expect from him and to his standard. WM 29 is creeping up on us and the WORLD WIDE WEB is running rampant with all of these RUMORS and STORIES us here at RSN has the latest STORY up on his health right now. If the Taker really isn't set to compete then why force him or ask him. Taker has giving EVERYTHING TO THE WWE AND THE FANS. Taker DOESN'T have anything else to prove to me or WWE FANS.
Dow we want to see the Taker destroy Lesnar? YES! Do we all want to see Taker put Punk six feet under? YES! Do we all want to see Taker stop Ryback? YES! Do we all want to see Taker and Sting beat each other to a no contest? HELL YES! ( will we see any of this ) I'm very sad to say I REALLY DON"T THINK SO. Ryback wouldn't know how to slow it down enough without permanently injuring Taker. Lesnar would be dropped by Taker and thus ruining more of Lesnars second WWE career. Punk and Taker would be grand. Sting and Taker will never happen sorry for killing your wet dreams of this match people.
Point of this blog is give the props to the man of the WWE that really deserves it the most of all. Will we see Taker at WM 29 or even 30 ????????? The only people that can answer that now is Taker himself and the very man Taker has killed himself for of the last 20 plus years. VINCE! I feel that the Taker has probably decided to move on with his life and I'm not sure if wrestling is anywhere in that chapter. We all want to see these matches I listed above and no one more than me. I have been around for over 30 years and even I know when it's time to pass the so called TORCH and step away from the ring.
Taker is and will always be one of the greatest wrestlers, performers and PHENOMS ever to step in the WWE ring. This will be a very sad day in WWE history, but the show will go on and we will see Taker again down the line. It won't be in the ring wrestling, but it will be in the WWE regardless. The streak SHOULD NEVER BEEN BROKEN 20-0 is a GREAT record and it NEEDS TO STAY. So with the END OF AN ERA coming closer to us and the career of THE UNDERTAKER I for one want to be the first to say " THANK YOU TAKER "
Dee Thomas
I for one wouldn't be upset if he didn't wrestle at WM 29. 20-0 is a nice round number, let it stay
20-0 makes perfect sense, 21-0 and 22-0 makes about as much sense as David Arquette being a champion
Jennifer Hamilton
My favourite wrestler of all time, The Undertaker, thank you Mark for all the year an awesome memories, he doesnt have anything to prove..20-0 is perfect.
Austin and Taker the greatest legends of all time.. Yes He doesn't have anything to prove but still I want him to wrestle at WM because without Undertaker there ain't Wrestlemania.. I will miss him ..
Hard Ace
I remember my first seeing of Taker, I was only 5 or 6 at home watching a video and I was shit scared, I was scared because I had never seen such a scary character ever. Now 20 or so years on, I have been amazed and just have turned into one of his biggest fans. To me, if anyone symbolises the WWE, ...
Lol I dint even born when Taker made his debut..
Alex Elmes
Never got to see him LIVE! ..but would've loved to. I agree though...20-0 is the perfect record and shouldn't be touched. Best decision to me? ...The Undertaker, 2013 Hall of Fame!
Hard Ace
20-0 is a perfect record to retire on; he isn't needed anymore IMO to put his body in harm.
Also, if you use the tagline End of an Era, doesn't it sound like it should be the END of his career?
Timothy Givens
i didnt use the tag steve put it there. my title was just " thank you taker"
I wasn't talking about the blog, I was talking about how the match's tagline was "End of an Era" like Rock vs Cena was "Once in a Lifetime"
Adam Troy Brown
For one great blog. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching Undertaker over the last two or three decades, but yes I do believe his time is coming or already has come to an end. Secondly, there is nothing wrong with Flair remaining in the business as long as he has f he loves it the way I think he does...
Timothy Givens
how did this one make the list and not the devon blog with over 5000 views this thing makes no sense

Anonymous said: Never had an orgasm during sex. I'm a girl and I've had a few partners any advice?
1 patience
2 foreplay
3 patience
4 patience.
I don't know who decided that one, all girls orgasm the same way, or two, all girls orgasm easily. I've learned that it's extremely difficult for me to orgasm strictly through penetration - I need ample clitoral stimulation to reach a full orgasm. I learned this through lots of sex, but really more so through masturbation. I've mentioned somewhere on here before I think but it's hard to know what to ask a sexual partner to do when you don't know what you need/want yourself. make sure you're getting to know your own body well.
if you do know what pushes you over the edge, make sure you're fully stimulated before trying. (most) women's bodies need a lot of foreplay to truly enjoy an awesome mind-blowing orgasm. take your time, enjoy yourself, and don't be afraid to rock it til waterfalls. (queen bey forever)
Anonymous said: Continuing_• It was like it was my period because I bleed for 2 days and then stopped but my periods are usually 7 days so idk what happened??? Do you have any clue.
I only bled slightly the first time I had sex and don't really have any recollection of more bleeding the following times I had sex. however, everything is crazy new and shit down there so it wouldn't surprise me if you were bleeding from your vagina stretching out more. bleeding for two days though is definitely concerning. there have been several times where I've had sex and was supposed to start my period a few days later, but something about the sex made me start early. it's definitely possible it was your period and it was just short. this is totally a situation that you need to discuss with a doctor though, especially with your prolonged bleeding and it not being your period. I don't have enough medical knowledge to keep you safe!
Anonymous said: Same poster as last time. I slept with another person about 2 days after I lost my virginity and we've been fwb it also only met/hung out with him 3 times and slept with him on the 3rd we fucked like 3 times and the third time was morning sex and after he finished I went to the bathroom and realized I had blood all over me, and I went back into his room and he asked me if he popped my cherry but we had fucked 2 times before that and I didn't lose my v card to him. It wasn't time for my period

I'm really terrible at guesstimating measurements, but he was about 9 in long and if I wrapped my thumb and middle finger around it, they couldn't touch. I have pretty small hands but it was still thick as shit.
Anonymous said: hello slut, want to chat? do you have a snapping pussy. If so you are a dream come true. Been long time since my dick was worked over by a woman and her snapping pussy.
I have no idea what this means but it sounds terrifying. no thank you.
it's the ghost of christmas past!!! does anyone even still read this thing? I had so much fun here.
in case anyone was wondering, I'm still a slut and still fuckin' proud of it. miss you guys <3
Anonymous said: I am a forty-six your old man. I do not feel old. Time dort of went by quick. I never married nor had any kids. I know everyone says this, but, people tell me I look thirty-six. My question is, what sort of insight can you offer to help me be the cool older guy as opposed to the creepy older guy. I have had it go both ways. I have been sought out by women in their twenties and also repelled them. Any thoughts? More on how to act, in general, even just to be considered a desirable friend. TY
This is such stupid advice, but it's always been the best: just be yourself. It doesn't matter how you act or what you're into - if someone is going to think you're creepy, that's just what they're going to think and you shouldn't let it matter to you. Fuck the girls that are into you and pass on the ones who aren't - it's that simple!
Anonymous said: Do you enjoy pissing, my girlfriend does it all the time when we are out. In her panties,jeans,anywhere, anyhow, its a masive turn on for both of us. I just wonderd if that many girls are realy into it,or do they just do it to please their men ?
Honestly, I'm not into it. I don't personally know anyone (that I know of) that is into it so I can't really say what the motive is behind it for some girls.

by Karen Skophammer students enjoyed creating their balanced, mirror-image designs. s ymmetrical balance is a perfectly centered composition or one with mirrored images. In a design with only two elements, they would be almost identical or have almost the same visual mass when looked at. Symmetrical balance is a formal type of balance; a type of line symmetry when one half of it is the mirror image of the other. To emphasize symmetrical balance in a fun and engaging way for my third-graders, I introduced this project and, because of the time of year—October —we used black and orange paper. In LEARNING OBJECtIVES elementary students will . • define symmetry and provide examples of it in everyday life. • recognize art as a problem-solving, decision-making experience. • develop skill in producing original visual expressions which portray structure and art principles, as well as their ideas, thought and feelings. • make reasoned aesthetic judgments about the quality of his work. NAtIONAL ARtS StANDARDS • • • Understanding and applying media, techniques and processes. Using knowledge of structures and functions. Choosing and evaluating a range of subject matter, symbols and ideas. MAtERIALS • • 18 Magazines 12" x 18" black construction paper • • 9" x 12" orange construction paper Scissors, glue general, though, the paper colors are not that important. We begin by talking about where we can find symmetry and viewing Leonardo Da Vinci's famous Vetruvian Man, which illustrates the correlations of ideal human proportions. We talked about symmetry found inside the human body, as well: the brain, kidneys, skull and so forth. Next, I turned the students loose on a collection magazines in which they were to find pictures of symmetrical things. Some of my favorite examples they found were butterflies, dragonflies and spiders. Symmetry was also found in buildings such as the Taj Mahal, which has a line of symmetry that cuts through the center of the tomb, from top to bottom. Stained-glass windows have symmetry, as do altars in many churches. Symmetry was also be found in African and Indian masks. The human face has symmetry, some more than others. Items found on the beach—seashells, starfish and crabs— have symmetry. Many advertising signs and company logos, drain plugs in the bathrooms, showers, sinks, toothpaste tubes, light bulbs and kitchen utensils all have symmetry. My third-graders became confident in their knowledge about symmetry. It was time for the studio portion of the lesson. Using one 12" x 18" piece of black construction paper and one 9" x 12" piece of orange construction paper, I demonstrated how to create a face that was balanced on a vertical axis. I drew half of a face on the orange paper, positioned vertically right on the edge, then see october 2013 • 81 years SYMMEtRY on page 34 x www.ar tsandactivities.com

Chania - Do & See
Chania has many wonderful things to offer you on your holiday. Go on a glass-bottomed boat cruise and enjoy the wonderful sea life. If this is not thrilling enough go to Limnoupolis Water Park and feel the adrenaline rush on the waterslides. Try scuba diving or just hanging out on the beach all day. Either way you will return back home well rested.
Fort Firca
The calm ruins of the Venetian fort have lovely sea views. Its fascinating Naval Museum (next door) recalls Chania's maritime tradition. This is also where the Greek flag first was raised.
Limnoupolis Water Park
This is the kids' choice with waterslides, pools and a lazy river. For grown-ups there is a Jacuzzi and pool bar. Shops and eateries add to the attractions.
Samaria Gorge
This famous 16 kilometre hike down a spectacular mountain gorge reaches the south coast. You will need sturdy shoes, water and a hat! A good idea is to sleep one night nearby and take the bus back to Chania the next day.
Boat trips
Glass-bottomed boats cross in crystal waters to nearby St Theodore Island. Others sail to idyllic Stavros beach on Akrotiri Peninsula. The prices vary so do not hesitate to walk around to compare between the different companies.
Blue Adventures Diving
There are at least two scuba diving centers in Chania - Blue Adventures Diving and Omega Divers. They are both certified and have good reputation in the scuba business.
Omega Divers
Going scuba diving will let you peek into a new world of seldom seen creatures and will let you be a part of another element for some time.
Botanical Park & Gardens of Crete
The Botanical Park & Gardens of Crete welcomes you to 20 hectares of herbs, medicinal, ornamental plants and fruit trees from around the world. The nature and the colours is a wonderful experience for the whole family and worth a visit.
Maritime Museum of Crete
Maritime Museum of Crete is a great place to spend a couple of hours and get to know Greece a bit better. On the first floor you will find an interesting movie about the history of Crete. The view over the harbour and lighthouse from here is amazing.
Chania Archaeological Museum
The permanent exhibition at Chania Archaeological Museum tells the story of Chania's cultural history in images. The two main parts of the exhibition describes the eastern part and the Bronze Age. The other part describes the western part and the Iron Age.
Folklore Museum of Chania
Folklore Museum of Chania is a small but very interesting museum and will not take you more than 30 minutes to visit. Here you can learn a lot about the old harbour and how it came about. If you like art, the owner has an interesting art collection for you to see and maybe purchase something small.
Museum of Typography
Museum of Typography shows you the development of typography from the Gutenberg era until today. You will see different tools, objects, machines and prints which have been used throughout the development.
Manousakis Winery
Manousakis Winery is a beautiful and cosy little farm to spend a day. Get a cheese platter, taste some flavourful, fruity wine and simply relax in this lovely environment. The staff here is very friendly and you can buy the wine in the little shop.
Segway Tours
Discover Chania from a different perspective! Going on a Segway tour is a fun and easy way to discover the city and at the same time letting you spend more time on the beach relaxing.
Doctor Fish - Foot Spa & Reflexology
Doctor Fish is a lovely fish spa located in the centre of Chania. This is the perfect treat after a couple of days of walking around discovering the island.
Green Care Spa
Green Care Spa is a lovely modern spa which offers you all types of treatments. Especially popular is the Indian head massage but they also have waxing, pedicure and manicure.
Municipal Art Gallery of Chania
At the Municipal Art Gallery of Chania you can enjoy contemporary art. This is a great place if you are an art lover and want to take part of a unique collection.
Chrisoskalitissa Monastery
A piece of history can be found at the spiritual Chrisoskalitissa Monastery. Going here takes quite a while, but if you are on a road trip this place is well worth a visit. You can find the monastery on the western side of Crete. From here you get amazing views.
Rethymno is a picturesque town on the east side of Chania. If you want to go on a day trip this is a great little town. Here you can enjoy the beach, get lost in the Old Town or have a glass of wine in the harbour.
The archaeological site of Knossos is one of the most famous places on Crete. The drive from Chania takes a long time as it is located just outside Heraklion, but there are numerous tour operators that organize trips here. Knossos is claimed to be the oldest city in Europe.
Golden Fun Park
Just 5 minutes west of Chania you can find the Golden Fun Park. This entertainment park has numerous facilities like bowling lanes, miniature golf, playground and much more.

Name: Crystal Age: Old enough to understand mostly everything I write about. Genre: Adult, Romance, Adventure, Supernatural, Action, Crime, Drama, and Horror. Nickname(s): Crisz, Crissy, Tori, Christopher (yes, as in Chris Motionless' full first name), CC/Christian Coma, and Nee-chan. Race: Mixed. Half European and Mexican. Resident: Battle Creek, Michigan, USA. Bands I Love: HIM, The 69 Eyes, Motionless In White, Black Veil Brides, Asking Alexandria, The GazettE, Ayabie, KISS, Three Days Grace, Hollywood Undead, and tons more bands... On Another Note: If you want, you can request a story/oneshot and leave a small summary of what you'd like to see in it (please be detailed). And I'm also willing to do collabs with anyone. Story behind the "Christopher"/"CC" nickname: Due to my tomboy-ish nature, my oldest sister (by 10 years) calls me Christopher, a masculine form of my name 'Crystal'. Another masculine name for 'Crystal' is 'Christian', which my friends that know BVB's drummer CC can refer to me by. It's mainly due to similar personalities and us both being of Spanish decent; explaining us both having really tan skin. I'm not really offended by those nicknames, so feel free to call me by them.

1. Prime the eye and apply a matte highlight beneath the brow.
2. Blend a warm brown through the crease, blending upwards, and to the lower lashline.
3. Apply a gold cream base to the lid. A creamy pencil would work just as well!
4. Apply a purpley pink on the outer and inner lid, leaving the center open.
5. Highlight the center lid with a yellow or gold shadow, as well the inner eye near the tear duct.
6. Blend a black through the crease to deepen the look. For a warmer look, use a dark brown instead. Take the color down to the lower lashline as well.
7. Line the eye with a black pencil or gel liner. Soften the top liner with an angled brush for a smokey effect.
8. Apply mascara and falsies if you choose. Done!

Inspections, Compliance, Enforcement, and Criminal Investigations
Refrescos Lugo 26-Oct-04
Department of Health and Human Services
Public Health Service
San Juan District
October 26, 2004
Mr. Miguel Lugo
Refrescos Lugo
#AA 4 Sta. Juanita Ave.
Bayamon, P. R. 00956-4644
Dear Mr. Lugo:
On July 7 thru 9, 2004, an investigator from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspected your firm located at Sta. Juanita Ave. #AA 4, Bayamon, P. R. This inspection was conducted as a follow-up to a January 2003 inspection. The inspection documented repeated violations of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) and Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). You can find the Act and FDA regulations through links on FDA's home page at www.fda.gov.
We have reviewed the product labels collected for the following products:
Jugos Lugo Parcha (64floz, 128floz) and Lugo Light Parcha (64floz)
Jugos Lugo Limon (64floz, 128floz) and Lugo Light Limon (64floz, 128floz)
Jugos Lugo China (64floz, 128floz) and Lugo Light China (16floz, 64floz)
Jugos Lugo Toronja (64floz, 128floz) and Lugo Toronja Light (64floz, 128floz)
Jugos Lugo Tamarindo (16floz, 64floz)
Jugos Lugo UVA (16floz, 64floz, 128floz)
Jugos Lugo MAVI (64floz, 128floz)
Jugos Lugo Guanabana (64floz, 128floz)
Jugos Lugo Fruta (64floz, 128floz)
Refrescos Lugo Acerola (64floz, 128floz) and Lugo Light Acerola (64floz, 128floz)
Lugos Guava-Pina (64floz, 128floz)
Fruit Price Toronja (16floz)
Fruit Price Limon (16floz)
Fruit Price China (16floz)
Fruit Price UVA (16floz)
Upon review of the labels and during the inspection we identified several violations of the Act and applicable regulations. These violations cause your products to be misbranded under section 403 of the Act, 21 U.S.C. 343, as discussed below.
1. Several of your products contain color additives that are not declared in the ingredient statements of the products' labels. Under 21 CFR 101 .22(k)(1), a color additive subject to certification under section 721(c) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. 379e(c), shall be declared by the name of the color additive, as specified in the color additive's listing regulation in part 74 or part 82 of the CFR. The name may be abbreviated to omit the "FD&C" prefix and the term "No." (e.g., Red 40 instead of FD&C Red No. 40). Although color additives not subject to certification (e.g., the caramel color used in Jugos Lugo Mavi) need not be declared by the name specified in the applicable listing regulation, 21 CFR 101.22(k)(2) requires that they be declared, e.g., as "artificial color," or "color added." Products you manufacture that are misbranded because they contain undeclared color additives are as follows:
Your products Lugo Light Parcha, Jugos Lugo Acerola, Lugo Light Acerola, and Jugos Lugo Frutas contain a color additive subject to certification (i.e., FD&C Red No. 40) which was not declared on the products' labels as required by 21 CFR 101.22(k)(1). Failure to declare certified color additives causes a product to be misbranded under sections 403(i)(2) and 403(k) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. 343(i)(2) and 343(k).
Your Jugos Lugo Mavi and Jugos Lugo Tamarindo drinks, which both contain the color additive caramel, are misbranded under sections 403(i)(2) and 403(k) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. 343(i)(2) and 343(k), in that their labels fail to indicate that a color additive was used in the products, as required by 21 CFR 101.22(k)(2).
2. All of your products listed on page one (with the exception of Jugos Lugo MAVI) are misbranded under Sections 201(n) and 403(a) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. 321(n) and 343(a), because information required by or under authority of this Act to appear on the label or labeling does not appear thereon. As specified in 21 CFR 172.804(d) (2), the label of any food containing aspartame must [redacted]. Your products contain aspartame, but do not include the required statement.
3. All of your products listed on page one are misbranded under section 403(i)(2) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. 343(i)(2), in that the labels do not declare the common or usual name of each ingredient as specified in 21 CFR 101.4. For example, according to the information collected by our investigator, your Lugo Light China drink is made with the ingredient [redacted] which itself is composed of two or more ingredients. Unless these ingredients are exempt (See, for example, 21 CFR 101.100), they must be declared on the finished product label. In addition, according to the formulations you provided, many of your products are made with the preservative [redacted]. Preservative ingredients must be declared on the label by common or usual name and also must bear a separate description of the preservative's function, in accordance with 21 CFR 101.22(j).
4. Your Fruit Price Toronja, Limo, China, and UVA flavors; Lugo Guava-Pina flavor; and Lugo Light Acerola, Toronja, and Limon flavors are misbranded under section 403(e)(2) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. 343(e)(2), as the labels do not bear an accurate statement of quantity of the contents in terms of fluid ounces, as required by 21 CFR 101.105(a).
5. Your Jugos Lugo Parcha, Jugos Lugo Limon, Jugos Lugo China, Jugos Lugo Toronja, Jugos Lugo Tamarindo, Jugos Lugo Uva, Jugos Lugo Mavi, Jugos Lugo Guanabana, and Jugos Lugo Acerola are beverages that contain more than 0% and less than 100% juice; however, the term juice in the name of the food is not qualified to inform the consumer that the product is less than 100 percent juice in accordance with 21 CFR 102.33(a).
6. The products labeled with the term "light" Lugo Light Parcha, Lugo Light Limon, Lugo Light China, Lugo Light Toronja, and Lugo Light Acerola, fail to include the identity of the reference food and the comparative caloric and fat content in the reference food as required by 21 CFR 101.56(b)(3) and 101.13(j)(2). Because these products satisfy the provision in 21 CFR 101.56(b) (3) (iii), the percentage reduction would not need to accompany the claim on these products.
The above violations are not meant to be an all-inclusive list of deficiencies in your products and their labeling. Other violations can subject the products to legal action. It is your responsibility to ensure that all products distributed by your firm are in compliance with all applicable statutes and regulations enforced by the FDA.
You should take prompt action to correct these deviations. Failure to promptly correct these deviations may result in regulatory action without further notice. Possible actions include seizure and/or injunction.
Please note that your labels bear information both in English and Spanish. According to 21 CFR 101.15(c), these labels may bear information exclusively in English, or, in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico or in a Territory where the predominant language is one other than English, exclusively in the predominant language (in this case, Spanish). However, where labels bear information in both English and another language, all required information must appear in both languages.
Please also note, as discussed at the conclusion of the inspection, your firm is required to register with FDA in order to comply with 21 U.S.C. § 350d.
Regarding the voluntary recall of Acerola, Parcha, and Fruta drinks for re-labeling purposes, please provide information as to the outcome of this recall to Ivonne Ayala at the address below.
Please notify the San Juan District office in writing, within 15 working days of the receipt of this letter, of the specific steps you have taken to correct the noted violations. If corrective action cannot be completed within 15 working days, please state the reason for the delay and the time within which corrections will be completed.
Your reply should be sent to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, San Juan District Office, 466 Fernandez Juncos Ave., San Juan, P. R. 009091-3223, Attention: Jorge L. Gonzalez, CSO/Compliance Officer.

You will love to hate Dicapio character from the beginning to end. Not only does he narrate but there's a lot of pausing and over the top scenes; I'm sure cocaine didn't create that much fun. Entertaining? Smdh NO! Oscar worthy? NO!
Just a another movie about how a young kid made so much money doing schemes. I actually feel asleep during the midway point; movie went on way too long. A lot of the same curse words,like F..and S. This movie is less than a rental
Is truth stranger than fiction? Hollywood's portrayal of the life of Jordan Belfort is full-on hyperbole given that we live through all his highs and lows in 3 hours. The selfish conceit of this film cannot be overstated. Money, drugs, and the complete objectification of women are the hallmarks of this film. The story is pretty simple; get rich with other people's money, then blow it all in a despicable display of self-indulgence & questionable investment strategies. Character development is easy: everyone is addicted to money or material possessions, & that's about it. Don't expect to learn anything about the victims of white collar crime, as that would take away from the singular focus of this film. The question that remains at the end of the story is whether "Wall Street" is really as morally reprehensible as portrayed in this film? Of course it is...watch & learn.
Don't know if it was intended to be this way, but I found the movie extremely funny. The characters, especially Danny, were so over the top I just couldn't take it seriously. Kept me entertained for the entire movie, even if it did feel a bit too long.
Half-way ismovie had been directed by more than one person ( only to be shocked watching the end-credits to learn that the film had been directed by M.Sorcese), so much so that the over all tone of the film was not cohesive unto itself. I do believe that the movie had real potential... but some of the strands of the fabric of this film slipped-out of the hands of the director. LDiCaprio, actually, does a very good job in portraying a slick maneuverer, with too much charm and good-looks by-half, and his performance anchors the film. However, I believe that JonahHill was nominated for an AcademyAward... and without wishing to seem unkind, I cannot figure why he deserved the nomination. I think that this movie would have fared better as a serious exposee... perhaps with comedic overtones, than whatever it actually turned-out being.
A 'worst movie of all time' candidate! Besides riding on reputation, if not paying no attention at all, I guess Marty tried for the comedy, perhaps it's in the book (I didn't read). Comedy isn't drama done w/o intensity. Comedy is just below love itself. People not good w/fun use 'comedy' to dump bad theatrics (esp children's shows). This embarrassment of a movie shunted imcompetent work there. In fact, a couple times Leo accidently fell into a dramatic mini-moment and it rang a bell! I felt bad for him. ___ The only thing even interesting here is why, sociologically, this film was well received. But that's all that's interesting about everything... -— I hope Leo doesn't go the way of De Niro who retired 25 yrs ago. (because of how bad this film is I won't get resentful they DELETED all financial info—such pandering!!! For a real movie, see "Boiler Room" or "Margin Call". (annoying to see Jews depicted as Italians—Marty always does this)
DiCaprio was good. Movie made me laugh and made me angry at the same time because there is a lot of truth to it.
Drugs of all kinds and frantic sex. The style can be interesting. I think the character he portrayed deserved more justifiable consequences than what he received. No wonder so many of us are enraged by Wall Street greed and sociopathic behavior. Disgusting without redemptive justice.
The film addresses an interesting question. What if your earnings were suddenly1000 times more than the typical middle class family earns today? What if you earned $50 million per year instead of $50,000? It's not an easy to answer question. You may like pork chops for dinner, but you can't eat 1,000 pork chops in one meal. You can certainly pay 1000 times more for a car than a Corolla would cost, but it still will have four wheels and -- assuming you want to keep your driver's license -- you'll have to keep to the same speed limit rules as the Corolla. So what's the point? What are you going to do with all the extra loot? The film presents one possible answer: spend it on expensive parties, sex, and drugs. As a major plus, Mr. DiCaprio turns in yet another of his stellar performances. He's really a very good actor. On the minus side, the other acting in the film is mostly sub-par. And the presentation is way to much over-the-top. I found myself saying: "Ok, I get it with the sex and drugs already. Get on with the story about the business and the stocks." Alas, it is not to be. At 60 minutes in, more parties, more sex, more drugs. So I clicked to see how much longer the film was. Oh my, there was another 2 hours left to go! I couldn't take another 2 hours of this, so I popped the DVD out of the player.
Too obscene. I didn't watch it to the end. Not worth the time
About an hour too long, but entertaining to watch. I found the soundtrack to be oddly distracting and it made the timeline very confusing - I never knew how much time was passing, and assumed the soundtrack was cluing me into what decade/period it was, but it was always off! Made it really disjointed. A few of the jokes were a little cruder than I think was necessary - not that I have any problem with crude jokes, just that they detracted from the film. Overall a OK movie, great performance from DiCaprio as always, but not spectacular in any way.

SummaryAdd a Summary
One word can sum up this movie DUMB.
NoticesAdd a Notice
Other: Excessive and frequent drug use is depicted.
Sexual Content: I couldn't count how many acts of sex occur in this film. It's a lot.
Violence: There are a few scenes that may be considered violent, but I don't think that's the main issue in this film (see sexuality, coarse language, drug use).
Coarse Language: It holds the Guinness World Record for the most utterances of the F-bomb in cinematic history at 506 (averaging over 2 per minute). It's your call.
QuotesAdd a Quote
"And people in hell want slupees." -Norman Reedus as Daryl Dixon
Mark Hanna: The name of the game, moving the money from the client's pocket to your pocket.
Jordan Belfort: But if you can make your clients money at the same time it's advantageous to everyone, correct?
Mark Hanna: No.
"Most of the Wall Street jackasses I bust are douchebags, just like their fathers before them. But you ... you, Jordan, got this way all on your own."
"You show me a pay stub for $72, 000, I quit my job right now and work for you."
"I'm a former member of the middle class raised by two accountants in a tiny apartment in Bayside Queens. The year I turned 16 as the head of my own brokerage firm, I made 49 million dollars, which really pissed me off because it was three shy of a million a week."

So far in the offseason the New York Knicks have only solidified their need for a wing by drafting Tim Hardaway Jr. and picking up Metta World Peace through free agency but their need for a big man and a third string point guard still remain.
There is no indication on the big man situation besides the fact that the Knicks have interest in re-signing Kenyon Martin but there have been a lot of players that have been rumored to be linked with the third string point guard role for the Knicks but no one has said anything about Summer League sensation Toure Murry.
Guys like Sebastian Telfair, Nate Robinson, or Delonte West would not be wise moves by the Knicks.
They are all better shooters then they are distributers and in a third string point guard you're looking to have fundamental basketball being executed.
Murry is the perfect player for the Knicks to pick up. This guy is a distributer, has the potential to be a big scorer, athletic, and is a lockdown defender. Murry has an inconsistent perimeter shot but when he is driving to the rim there is no one who can stop him as he utilizes his athleticism and size to his advantage, sometimes pulling out some audacious layups in the process.
In my opinion, Murry has been the standout player from the Knicks Summer League team.
He has been the most consistent, and with the Knicks first choice point guard Chris Smith having been out of his groove this whole tournament, Murry has taken over the floor general role and has been great for the Knicks seeing his minutes leap from 11 to 22 over the course of the first three games.
Murry's ability to space the floor in unimaginable. He is a point guard that can do it all. He is physical so he's in the paint quite often either going to the rim for a layup, trying to pass it out, or attempting to grab an offensive rebound. He has a perimeter shot but at times it is inconsistent but when he is on his game there is no stopping his shot falling.
Adding Murry to the Knicks would not only help add some youth to a veteran team but it would allow for the Knicks to bring a bit more explosiveness off of the bench, and with J.R. Smith out for 3-4 months, the Knicks are going to need all the explosiveness that they can get.

Jane Elliott co-founded Directions Media in 1998 along with husband, the late Scott Elliott. Both had previously founded Wessex, one of the first companies to offer desktop mapping and digital street and demographic data packaged together. Ms. Elliott has guided the company toward substantial growth during the Directions' fifteen year history as the first entirely online geospatial publication.
Joe Francica is the editor-in-chief, vice-publisher and member of the board of directors of Directions Media that includes Directions Magazine, the world's top-ranked publication for location intelligence, geographic information systems (GIS), and wireless location-based technology. He is the chairman and founder of two conferences sponsored by Directions Media: The Location Intelligence Conference, now in its tenth year, and the Rocket City Geospatial Conference held annually in Huntsville, Alabama.
Personally, Mr. Francica has authored numerous articles and editorials on topics ranging from market research, wireless location-based services, retail trade area analysis, and the use of geographic information system (GIS) technology for business applications.

It's rarely mentioned as a performance pioneer, but the 1957 Oldsmobile 371 J-2 Golden Rocket engine deserves more respect, even if it's more than 50 years since it was installed in a few thousand Super 88s.
The Olds V-8 was an overhead-valve (OHV) design that was very similar to the Cadillac and Chevy V-8s; the Cadillac OHV was introduced in 1949, the same year as the Olds V-8, and the Chevy, of course, in 1955. In fact, the Chevy and Olds blocks look surprising alike, although the Oldsmobile has a larger, more prominent bell housing and a more enclosed valley. The Chevy had the edge on cylinder-head airflow, but the Olds made up for it with cubic inches.
By 1957, the Chevy mill increased from 265 to 283 cubic inches, but the Olds engine was nearly 90 cubes larger. And, of course, one of the axioms of engine performance is there's no replacement for displacement. With its J-2 triple-carb induction system, the 371 was rated at 300 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque, 17 horses more than the much-celebrated-yet-finicky 283 horse, fuel-injected Chevy 283 engine.
The big-inch Olds topped the output of the non-Hemi Mopar 318 engine (290 hp) and Ford's 312 (245 hp). The supercharged Thunderbird engine was rated at 300 hp, but the Olds was naturally aspirated. And when it came to its GM-engine cousins, the J-2 engine equaled the output of Buick's top 364cid Nailhead engine and bested Pontiac's top 347-inch, Tri-Power engine (290 hp). It was also comparable to Cadillac's 300 and 325hp engines.
Indeed, the triple-carb J-2 engine was a stout performer on paper, but they're relatively rare finds today. That's because the tri-carb setup quickly gained a reputation for less-than-reliable performance and wasn't very popular. Frequent tuning was a must for optimal, stumble-free performance.
The biggest performance problem was the non-progressive nature of the induction system. As was typical of 3x2 systems at the time, the center Rochester two-barrel was the primary carburetor and the front and rear carbs kicked in simultaneously; they were either open or closed. However, there wasn't a mechanical linkage between the center and outer carbs. The vacuum-actuated front and rear units opened when the throttle on that center carb reached about 60 percent of wide-open. Power application was smooth enough, but lack of a direct link between the center and outer carbs created tuning issues. Also, the outer carbs tended to load up or become clogged without frequent use.
Tuning issues, a low "take" rate by customers and a comparatively expensive per-unit cost doomed the J-2 after the 1958 model year. It was a production run of only two years, although stacks of leftover intakes were reused and distributed to dealers with the front and rear carb mounts capped and a single two-barrel used in the center position. It was a solution for customers who were fed up with triple-carb headaches.
A modern J-2Despite the J-2's relative unpopularity when new, it has the aura of exoticness today and exemplifies a bygone era, much like Googie architecture. Factory multiple-carb setups have always been rare and the J-2 was unique in Olds' lineup.
John Denyer has always been a fan of Oldsmobiles and J-2 engines. When he located a 1957 Golden Rocket, he thought it would make a great powerplant for his 1949 Olds. But like any self-respecting hot rodder, we wanted more from his J-2 than the factory supplied. He also wanted the cruising assurance of trouble-free reliability and rotating-assembly durability. For that, he turned to Wixom, Michigan's Thomson Automotive, a longtime street- and racing-engine builder.
Denyer's plan was to have the engine retain its original look, especially the tri-carb induction system, but carry stronger, reliability-ensuring parts on the inside. To that end, the engine work included:
* A slight increase in displacement* Adoption of Chevy big-block connecting rods* Modern forged aluminum pistons* Custom-grind camshaft* Oil filter system changed to accept conventional spin-on filter
Thomson machined the block and bored its cylinders slightly, taking it from 4.000 inches to 4.093 inches. They matched the bigger cylinders with a slightly longer-stroke (3.725 inches) crankshaft, increasing the displacement 21 cubic inches, to 392. The crank was machined to accept Chevy big-block connecting rods, enabling the use of heavy-duty forged rods (along with new, forged pistons) to deliver the bottom end strength Denyer was looking for. Besides that, it was virtually impossible to find replacement Oldsmobile bearings for the standard rods.
Some of the other special ingredients in this street engine recipe include a custom-grind, flat-tappet hydraulic camshaft that delivers slightly greater lift and duration than the original, but it's not a "big" cam by any stretch of the imagination, with 202 degrees of duration at 0.050-inch lift.
Only the mildest of clean-up work was performed on the heads, too. It basically amounted to a thorough valve job and fitting them with hardened valve seats for worry-free pump-gas performance. The compression ratio was lowered from the original 10.0:1 to about 9:1, so that the engine would be more compatible with today's unleaded gasoline. The 300hp gross rating of the production J-2 was achieved with 97-octane leaded premium gas that was common in the 1950s.
From an appearance standpoint, the new-age Olds wears a set of aftermarket finned valve covers that are machined to accept reproduction "Rocket" spark plug wire hold-down brackets. The result is a nicely detailed bit of flash to accent the otherwise factory look.
Dyno detailsThe triple Rochester carburetors were sent out for rebuilding and refinishing, and came back looking better than new. While they were out, Thomson cleaned up the intake manifold and carefully rebuilt the intricate linkages.
With a fresh coat of Oldsmobile-green paint, the restored J-2 looked factory-fresh on the outside, apart for a few carefully selected dress-up parts, and was thoroughly modernized inside. Work moved to the engine dynamometer for break-in and testing.
Expectations were kept in check, as the larger displacement would be tempered somewhat by the low-flow cylinder heads and lower-compression, and lower compression generally means less power, because of reduced cylinder pressure. When the dust settled and the revs returned to zero, the triple-carb Olds delivered a 303-horsepower performance, with 414 lb-ft of torque.
On the face of it, 303 horses don't sound remarkable these days, but for an easy-cruising street rod that's not intended for competition in the Friday-night bracket series, it's a fine result. And, given the heads, intake, and exhaust manifolds were stock, and the camshaft was comparatively mild. The fact that the engine topped the original output, but with less squeeze in the heads and lower-octane unleaded fuel, was encouraging.
More impressive, however, was the robust torque, as the peak level is only part of the story. By only 2,500 rpm, the engine was making 406 lb-ft and held above the 400 lb-ft level through 3,800 rpm, and even then, it held in the 390-lb-ft neighborhood through 4,000 rpm. And because this mill isn't what you'd call an "rpm" engine, breathing was all done by 4,700 rpm anyway. (Another 1,000 rpm would do wonders.)
So, while it may lack that horsepower of, say, a new LS7 crate engine, this updated Golden Rocket delivers plenty of usable pulling power. It is also built with stronger parts on the inside for greater durability and carries the classic style on the outside that simply can't be matched in a modern engine.
Sounds like a success to us.
ROCKET ROSTERRecalling Olds' space-age V-8sThe Olds overhead-valve engine that was introduced in 1949 was marketed as the Rocket V-8; in its production models, it was called the Rocket 88. In the following years, variations on the Rocket them were introduced, but many considered all Olds V-8 engines through the mid-Seventies "Rockets."
Not all of Oldsmobile's engines carried Rocket nomenclature, muddying the water on what constitutes a real Rocket, but here's a quick primer on the officially named Rocket mills:

Exchange students are welcome to visit the United States through Program of Academic Exchange, also known as PAX. The students are 15-to 18-years-old who have studied English for at least three years, and are motivated to learn more about the U.S. by attending high school and living with a host family.
Founded in 1990, PAX is a non-profit educational organization. Host families are responsible for the student's meals and the added expense of housing another family member; everything else is covered by the student.

"I, too, love Seinfeld, but is there not a problem when the show is cited as a referent for one's Jewish identity? For many of us, being Jewish has become, above all things, funny. All that's left in the void of fluency and profundity is laughter…Despite having been raised in an intellectual and self-consciously Jewish home, I knew almost nothing about what was supposedly my own belief system. And worse, I felt satisfied with how little I knew. Sometimes I thought of my stance as… an achievement, but there's no achievement in passive forfeiture."
— Excerpt from an awesome article in The New York Times about Passover written by Jonathan Safran Foer.
