Here's a look at big trends for fall - 0 Comments
It's been a few months since the Fall 2014 shows wrapped. Since summer is on its way out (I know, I'm sorry, too) and fall/winter collections have already started shipping to stores, let's take this opportunity to revisit the major trends.
Shift and A-line dresses are flattering to all body types, thanks to their forgiving flares.
The louche, slouchy-leg trouser is the pant of the season. Katharine Hepburn would be right at home in these flowing and luxuriously elegant slacks.

What's a good number of eggs..for EPU

Hi ladies,
Had my U/S & Blood test.. still waiting for the results... but the U/S lady said that I had 4 follicles on my right..and 6 on my left.. and some smaller ones...
I know that this does not necessary mean that I will have 10 eggs.
Just wondering what is the average number of eggs people get during EPU?
Posted 13 April 2012 - 10:20 AM
What is a good number of eggs? Gee, how long is a piece of string??? This depends on your individual fertility indicators, so averages are meaningless. Each mature follicle can contain zero or one eggs. I have LOR and had six mature follies and four eggs in a recent EPU. They were four good eggs but none fertilised. Another lady the same age as me (in over 40s) had 10 eggs and nine fertilised. Further, it seems from others who have been around longer than me that all cycles are different. So the number of follies you have now might not be like the number you get next time. It depends on your individual response to the stimming each time. But, I'd be happy with 10 follies, that's for sure.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 10:24 AM
I am guessing it really depends on your situation.
I have PCOS and on my last EPU in November at my cd12 ultrasound I had 7 follies, I was thinking that was pretty good. Get to EPU 7 days later and I wake up the number 17 on my hand. They retrieved 17 eggs and of that 14 fertilised.....on my cycle before 8 follies at scan, 15 retrieved, 2 fertilised.....
I dont think there is an average number because there are too many things adding up to each persons individual retrieval.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 10:30 AM
I may be heading for early menopause and my last EPU at age 33 I had ten follicles, five eggs, I think 4 fertilised but only two were good for transfer. Still ended up with a BFN.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 10:31 AM
Hi Angelic
At the end of the day what you get is what you get. It may only take one. I remember last year reading about one lady who only had one follie, got one egg and got her BFP. So you never quite know. It's a crap shoot unfortunately - try to go with the flow and not too much pressure on yourself. Best of luck!
Posted 13 April 2012 - 11:07 AM
Agree with all of the above about the numbers not necessarily giving any indication of success...but I'll add my stats in too to give you an idea.
I have LOR of 6.2 (I'm 34) and at EPU had 10 eggs, of which 7 were matured, 3 fertilised (ICSI) and one made it to transfer (morula, not blast). BFN
But my FS said based on our circumstances, he was very pleased with how it all went and how I responded to the drugs etc, so will be following a similar protocol for cycle 2.
I know it's hard, but try not to think about the "numbers" too much - it does your head in! (i know it did for me!)
Posted 13 April 2012 - 11:09 AM
Thanks ladies...
I am hoping I get a few so i can freeze..
Dont want to do this stimming again..
Have had a horrible headache for the past couple of days and just vomited this morning too..
I am sooo over this....
ETA: What's LOR??
Edited by Angelic80, 13 April 2012 - 11:10 AM.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 12:05 PM
LOR is low ovarian reserve.
I don't mean to sound totally negative but I learned all about expectations the hard way on my first cycle. My new view is hope for the best, but expect nothing; then everything is a bonus. No way I would hope for a few to freeze. The fall to Earth is way too far. Sounds like you need to find some strategy to support you atm because the reality is that even though there are a lucky few who it works for quickly, most people seem to try for several cycles and many still don't achieve their BFP. You are only at the start of the IVF gig - and I'm not that much further in than you - so you're going to need to reserve some stamina. Panadol is fine if you have headaches. All the best. Hope you don't have to stay too long. Love, Ellie x
Posted 13 April 2012 - 12:31 PM
As pilar so wisely said, what you get is what you get.
I'm 36 with low AMH. 1 had 11 follicles to begin with and 6 eggs were picked up. 3 went on to fertilize and survived for both transfer (1) and freezing (2).
It's such a fine balance between getting a good result and running the risk of OHSS. It's hard not to feel anxious though when you 'only' get 6 egg whilst others get 20 or more. There are also people who may only get a single egg too.
Our bodies can only do what they can. No more and no less.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 01:12 PM
Hi Angelic, in your position, I would be comfortable with 10 follies, I would say that is a "good number". BUT As everyone else has said it is quality over quantity and such an individual thing that varies from cycle to cycle.
My sig shows number of eggs, blasts for both my down reg cycles, which have been completely different.
Edit for clarity
Edited by cordyline, 13 April 2012 - 01:13 PM.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 02:28 PM
I would like to add that I don't think the number is important. It is the quality. My friend has had 3 babies from 4 eggs collected, 3 fertilized.
It only takes 1 to make a baby. Anything more than 1 is a bonus but won't always translate into take home babies.
Edited by Hoping4a2012baby, 31 August 2012 - 06:02 PM.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 02:42 PM
For everyone it all depends.
For me I have PCO and it's a quality v quantity scenario. I stim and get big numbers but from 14 I got one suitable to transfer and 2 frosties. I subsequently got a BFP and quickly MC. So I don't have the best quality. And it only takes one for a BFP. Goodluck OP.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 03:08 PM
So just got a call from FN...
He said everything is looking great (whatever that means...I dont know of any specific results as such)...
So EPU will be on 17/04... and I will be taking my trigger shot (Ovidrel) on Sunday..
What's everyone's experience with Ovidrel..does it hurt more than the Puregon.. I have found the Puregon alright..and not painful..except after injecting...??
Posted 13 April 2012 - 04:22 PM
Nope. Ovidrel didn't hurt at all.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 07:24 PM
Good luck OP.
Like the other girls who has said its about the quality of the embryo that makes it to transfer.
Remember that the FS is using this first cycle as a trial, so its about working out how well you respond, how many mature eggs are collected, then how many fertilise and make it to day 5 are really anyones guess, IVF is such a numbers game, dont give up, expect the worst, and hopefully achieve the best.
Good luck with EPU next week
FWIW my first ICSI cycle i cant remember how many follies i had but i got 7 eggs collected, 6 were mature and 2 made it to day 5,
Second ICSI cycle i had 20 eggs collected, 18 were mature, 15 fertilies, and 6 made it to blast. Not all thawed for FETs though
Always something to remember, that a frostie doesnt mean a transfer....

This (my bold). My stats for what they are worth:-
Like a PP, I have PCO & I've had 22/20/19/18/19 - or something like that. When I got 22 in my first cycle I nearly flipped out with happiness & both DH & I were certain we have a whole lot of great embies. We ended up with one blastocycst, and the same happened on the next (20) cycle, both BFNs.
It's a bit of a cliche in the world of IVF but it really is quality over quantity.
Good luck angelic.
Posted 25 April 2012 - 01:52 AM
I agree - Quality over Quantity.
I have 1 ovary and only ever get 3 follies= 3 eggs. They all fertilized and 1 was transferred.
Only 1 fresh transfer ended up a BFN.
Good luck... hoping you get your BFP soon.

- good place for first timerfei0213Dined on 10/25/2014My first time here. No special occasion just that my wife wants to have fresh oysters. I tried to book other oyster bars but they are all book. Eventually, I found chewies and looked into their menu and pictures. Everything looks great and the reviews are very positive. So I gave it a try and it turned out amazing. Food and services are wonderful. I like the atmosphere but just won't recommend to bring kids. Otherwise, if you love oysters, don't miss this place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 10/3/2014Our group is always happy with their food orders, especially the chicken!! Great service to answer all our questions and if the waiter isn't sure...he finds out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- An Off NightHahnDined on 9/20/2014Love Chewies. I feel pretty lucky that this awesome gem is in my neighbourhood. The food is great, the service usually friendly and attentive, and it's a fun place to have dinner. This night, however, was a bit 'off'. Our server was MIA most of the time. The pinnacle was when he left in the middle of paying our bill, leaving us to wait for him to finish the transaction for several minutes. Finally, we had flag down someone else so we could pay and leave.Special Features:
- Food vs. noiseOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014The service was outstanding and the food was original, inventive and incredibly tasty. We were seated under one of the speakers so conversation was a little difficult. But this won't discourage us from going again, we'll just ask not to be seated directly under a speaker!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyable dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/18/2014Have been at Chewies quite few times. The Buttermilk chicken is by far the best thing on the menu. The ribs were ok. Not a good cut of ribs used but flavored were good. They definitely need to bring back the Seafood Pan RoastSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great deal but...OysterluvverDined on 8/27/2014Oysters brought me in, loud music chased me out. The service was friendly and fast. (Except when the 'boys' were chatting at the bar.) The food was fine. The prices are decent. The design is lovely. The concept is great. My friend and I were happy until they cranked the music and we couldn't talk anymore. We asked them to lower the volume a little and received a cold shoulder and a very slight reduction in noise level. I see this is an ongoing complaint from diners on Yelp and why Chewies does not pay attention to customers' complaints astonishes me. Too bad.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Chewies - KitsilanoBreadDined on 8/23/2014Food was excellent but extra bread is gonna cost ya. Service needs to step up to food level.Special Features:

- Servers didn't careAKellyDined on 8/13/2014The experience was awkward from the get-go when no one offered us drinks, menus or told us the specials even after we asked. We went for buck-a-shuck, and whomever was shucking the oysters had no clue what they were doing. They were not removed from the shell, the shells were filthy and covered in algae, there were bits of shell in with the oyster. The wine we ordered came in a tumbler glass, filled to the brim and spilling over. Considering the price of the wine- it really should have been served in a wine glass. The service was spotty at best, and a bit rude as well.
- Great apps and buck-a-shucks!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/5/2014Although we did not have anything from the mains section on the menu we had most of the apps and a bunch of raw oysters and even was fantastic. Our server was great and knew how to make us laugh. Great local beers and the oyster sauces were well thought out and very tasty. Hope to come back next time I'm in Vancouver from Ontario.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always reliableWorthiaDined on 8/2/2014Been here numerous times. Service always good. Food is consistent and tasty. Gets a little loud at times but that's part of the fun. Patio is great for watching Kits peeps come and go. Highly recommend calamari appetizer & fried chicken. If you're an oyster fan you can't beat "buck a shuck" in the afternoon and on Monday nights bottles of wine are 1/2 price. Make a reservation!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ColetteCDined on 8/2/2014After having to park several blocks away and seeing the crowded restaurant at 6pm I expected a memorable experience. Overall, the menu is suedo Creole but lacking in seafood. Not bad pricing and service was good but suggested min tip of 18% is a bit presumptuous. Overall ok experience .

Hint: pair up your brunch with a few fresh raw oysters and a Caesar. I always have excellent service here and the atmosphere is fun. It's a great spot to hit before or after the beach.Special Features:

- good food but VERY loudOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 7/18/2014Others have commented on the noise level at Chewie's but this does not appear to have been noticed. Although food and prices were good, and service competent if not too interested in a table of 3 middle aged patrons, the noise level was so loud that conversation almost impossible. Management would do well to note this oft repeated comment and consider toning down the volume a bit.
- So-so overall experiencefudtripDined on 6/27/2014Our appies came out fast but entrees took forever to come out. Fried chicken was good but mashed potatoes came out stone cold, hard and lumpy like it had been sitting out for hours, green beans were cold as well. They replaced potatoes and beans which came out much better and our server took the entree off our bill which was nice. Overall, food and service was average not what we expected for something that was featured on TV. We left a little disappointed.Special Features:
- Undercooked - over poured- overkillThought4foodDined on 6/26/2014Vegetables and potatoes were ice cold after a bit of a delay for the food - oysters and meat were the usual high quality- the waiter was stunned when I asked him not to full pour for some of our party - my second glass of wine was poured on a rocky table so it naturally spilled all over before I even saw it - lucky we had some spare napkins in purse or I would have been wearing it... I come to Chewies because the food is do good - don't understand the need for the over pouring nor for the loudness and in your face waiting style.. The food speaks for itself - the rest is juvenile overkillSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- mehjnm555Dined on 6/24/2014great patio on a good day but after the server cleared our dinner he brought us our bill without asking us if we wanted anything else and we had planned to order dessert ... but generally the staff was friendly food was indifferent ... my grits were lumpy and weird (i ordered shrimp and grits) and on my friend's oyster po' boy the tomato slices were green and raw and inedible ...Special Features:
- Loved the place!DanaDined on 6/22/2014We had a great patio Sunday experience at the Chewies last weekend. The food was great and enjoyed the service. Overall experience was fantastic!Special Features:
- FliesFlyawayDined on 6/22/2014Too many flies when we were seated in the back of the restaurant. Not enough air circulation. Staff were great and attentive though. Oysters were great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SuperrunnerDined on 6/22/2014We had a really great time and the food was really good too! I had the biscuits with eggs and my husband had waffles with fried chicken. Both great dishes!Special Features:
- Awesome food!janekk68Dined on 6/21/2014Amazing brunch at Chewies! Delicious caesar drinks. Chicken & waffles FTW.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good oysters, just ok serviceYinyinDined on 6/20/2014Group of 4 went there for happy hour. Website mentions 2 deals at this branch- a buck a shuck and half off the first bite items. The waiter said promotion for half off first bites items was not on. They should have updated the website so customers wont be disappointed. Good thing is that the fanny bay oysters were sweet, only very few pieces of shell pieces found in the oysters. Will still go back if i happen to be in the areaSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awful ExpereinceFoodieVIPDined on 6/20/2014This was our 10th visit to this restaurant and we had a very negative experience at Chewies Kitsilano. We waited a very long time for a table even though many were empty. Which seemed personal because the restaurant wasn't busy. Finally was able to order drinks & shucked oysters, arrived with bits of shell. They needed a better rinse before serving... Asked for a glass of ice and received an eye roll. The staff here used to be friendly and attentive with a nice relaxing atmosphere. NOT ANYMORE! Not sure where the attitude and temperamental service came from. Will not be returning or recommending this restaurant.
- Cool spot!LafferDined on 6/7/2014This is a very happening place, at least on a Saturday night. The place was busy and the staff were engaged and seemed like they were having fun. The food was great, really like the Gator. I will be back to check it out again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- LizzDined on 6/1/2014Upon arriving to the restaurant, the hostess did not have a friendly attitude. This somewhat ruined the experience for me already. Thankfully they have awesome food and great servers!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, great staff.AnneMarieDined on 5/24/2014We came for a birthday dinner with a 2-year old. Unfortunately there are no high chairs or booster seats, but they put us in a booth with a bench. Then, the staff found a large tablecloth that was folded up and in a bag which they brought for our little girl to sit on. Perfect! The service was excellent - the server was there when needed but not overbearing. Food was delicious, plentiful and very reasonably priced. We'll be back!Special Features:
- Enjoyable BirthdaykitseatsDined on 5/21/2014I took my girlfriend here for a birthday dinner and we both really enjoyed it. The service was fast and friendly, the food was very good and the prices were reasonable. It is a relaxed atmosphere, but does not sacrifice quality.Special Features:

The picture of how it can be used is misleading
I would recommend with reservations. You really can't put bottles inside that are taller than 10in. Which is really inconvenient. The picture shows some nice tall bottles mixed in with smaller ones and that just isn't the case. It will not close.

Zoo's bald eagle captured after 3 days on the lamFebruary 26, 2013 @ 1:26 pm
PALO ALTO, Calif. (AP) - A radio transmitter and then a feast of quail and mouse led to the capture of a California zoo's bald eagle after three days on the lam.
The Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo's tame 24-year-old bald eagle Sequoia was enjoying her daily exercise Saturday at a park when strong winds spooked her.
Instead of returning to handlers, she flew north and roosted in Menlo Park.
The San Jose Mercury News ( http://bit.ly/YUEwSH) reports Sequoia was tracked Monday to a Redwood City tree.
The famished bird finally dropped from her perch to the arm of trainer John Flynn, who rewarded her with a quail and mouse feast.
Sequoia ventured out on her own eight times while at the San Francisco Zoo. She joined the Palo Alto zoo last year.

Google Running Feedback Experiment That's Similar To Human Quality Rater Test
Google has long asked searchers to provide feedback on the quality of its search results, and often runs a number of tests aimed at encouraging such feedback. The latest such experiment, which seems to have been live for at least a month or so, is a bit different because it asks searchers for feedback only on certain results.
Eli Schwartz recently shared with us a screenshot after doing a search for [product synonym]. As you can see below, Google is using the open space on the right of the results page to ask "Which result do you prefer?"
What's most interesting is that Google isn't asking for general feedback on the search results page as a whole; it's specifically pulling out two of the results — and not the top two. In this case, Google is specifying the third and fourth links and asking the searcher to "visit both pages before choosing."
That's similar to the "side-by-side" tasks that Google's army of human search quality raters often perform — a type of task that you can learn more about in these articles:
- Interview With A Google Search Quality Rater
- Google Search Quality Raters Instructions Gain New "Page Quality" Guidelines
In that second article, you'll find a screenshot of a "basic" side-by-side task that also asks the evaluator to view two specific pages and choose the better result.
The Street recently saw this same feedback form, and pointed out that the "Learn more" link at the bottom leads to a Google help page that says user feedback "will not directly influence the ranking of any single page," and refers to how the data is used in conjunction with its "professional search evaluators."
In a typical year, we experiment with tens of thousands of possible changes. These changes, whether minor or major, are tested extensively by professional search evaluators, who look at results and give us feedback, and "live traffic experiments" where we turn on a change for a portion of users. Testing helps us whittle down our list of changes to about 500 improvements per year.
Earlier this summer, Google was running a similar, but less specific, feedback test that asked searchers "How Satisfied Are You With These Results?" That survey asked for feedback on the full search results page.

Phil Jagielka: Don't compare Romelu Lukaku to Didier Drogba
Everton captain Phil Jagielka says on-loan Chelsea striker has taken the Toffees 'to the next level'
- Image Credit: AP
- Everton's Romelu Lukaku, centre, shoots wide as Newcastle's Fabrizio Coloccini, left, and Cheik Ismael Tiote look on during their English Premier League soccer match at Goodison Park Stadium, Liverpool, England, Monday Sept. 30, 2013.
Liverpool, United Kingdom: Romelu Lukaku deserves recognition as a star in his own right without prompting regular comparisons to Didier Drogba, according to Everton captain Phil Jagielka.
Jagielka understands why the Belgian continues to be seen as the likely successor to the legendary Chelsea striker, but he believes that the time will come when the on-loan Everton forward has established his own reputation.
"Drogba doesn't mean anything to us at Everton," Jagielka said. "We know a lot about him of course, but we don't want to draw comparisons.
"Rom's his own person, his own player, he's got his own style. He plays a bit different, but I can see why people have made those comparisons — and at the end of the day it's not a bad guy to be compared to. But for us, we just want him to keep progressing as a person and a player and if we keep him firing on all cylinders all season he will really help us out. "He's a real presence up front. First and foremost he's a fantastic lad, on the pitch and the training field, he's just desperate to do well.
"Obviously he wasn't quite getting a nod at Chelsea and that's made him even hungrier than he was last season. He's a fantastic acquisition for us. He's a great player and has probably taken us up to that next level. If he can keep himself fit and keep himself confident, he could be great for us.
"He has all the attributes to be a top-class player and he's still quite a young boy. When you look at him and he's so physically well developed, you expect him to be in his late 20s but he's just a young man. It makes it quite scary to think, really.
"Possibly he makes the wrong decisions from time to time, but when he gets everything right, when you look how he was against Newcastle — his assist for Ross's goal and the fact he took his two fantastically well. He's got everything.
"His vision is superb too, he can hold players off, and he's someone the other midfielders and attacking players love to play with. Competition for places up there is really strong at the moment."
Having scored three league goals — more than any of Chelsea's strikers — questions will inevitably be asked about the logic of Jose Mourinho's decision to let Lukaku go, but Jagielka thinks players will always look better when given senior status — something the 20-year-old did not have at Stamford Bridge.
"Chelsea just brought in Eto'o and they've got Torres and Ba, so it's difficult," Jagielka said.
"They have an amazing squad but for whatever -reason were not offering Rom as much football as he wanted. It makes a difference that he knows he's going to play."

ALLEN PARK, MI - AUGUST 04: Head coach Jim Schwartz looks on during training camp at the Detroit Lions Headquarters and Training Facility on August 4, 2009 in Allen Park, Michigan. (Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)
ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz was part of a team that held Hall of Fame running back Barry Sanders to 41 yards on 19 carries in the final game of the regular season 14 years ago. Schwartz was a 32-year-old defensive assistant at the time for the Baltimore Ravens, who defeated the Lions, 19-10. It was Dec. 27, 1998, a day that Lions fans will never forget. Seven months later, Sanders rocked their world by faxing a statement to the Wichita (Kan.) Eagle, his hometown newspaper, saying that he was retiring from football. That was the day Lions fans wish they could forget. Sanders controversial retirement story is part of a new documentary, Barry Sanders: A Football Life, that airs for the first time Wednesday night at 8 oclock on the NFL Network. I was part of the last game he played, Schwartz said Wednesday following his team's practice. It was one of those weeks you dont sleep very well the whole week. You lose about 10 pounds because theres no scheme...

London 2012
Posted by Dale Buss on July 23, 2012 05:39 PM
Just as McDonald's is gearing up its controversial sponsorship of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London that begins this week, the world's biggest fast-food brand is introducing a new US Olympics tie-in marketing program designed to continue to reposition the brand as at least a reasonable alternative for healthful fare in the eyes of American consumers.
"Favorites Under 400 Calories" is a new menu "platform" featuring existing popular food and beverage choices at McDonald's, in an attempt to remind customers that they have plenty of healthful and even diet-friendly choices under the golden arches. Team USA gold medal contenders hurdler Lolo Jones (above) and boxer Marlen Esparza are featured in a new series of commercials supporting the Olympics contest.Continue reading...

Just as Britons start greeting visitors descending on London for the Summer Olympics, news this week will either have them leaping off the couch to get moving — as Olympic sponsors such as McDonald's have been urging folks to do — or slump back in despair and reaching for another handful of crisps.
Apparently the 60 million good citizens of the UK are the, well, fattest in Western Europe, and when London was awarded the 2012 Summer Olympics back in 2005, officials pledged to use the Games as incentive for 2 million Britons to increase their physical activity by the opening ceremonies.
"When the torch is lit July 27," writes the Associated Press, the U.K. "government will not only have failed, it will have backed away from its pledge entirely. Last year, the U.K. quietly dropped its aim to get 1 million more Britons into sports; the pledge to get another 1 million people more active through things like biking or walking to work has also been scrapped."Continue reading...

It's a dilemma as old as the first wild stalk of broccoli: How do you get a child to eat it? The latest twist on the ancient battle for kids' gullets is a new campaign by Birds Eye, the frozen-vegetable giant, with Nickelodeon and the Partnership for a Healthier America.
As part of an initiative that launched in May called "GenVeg" — for Generation Vegetable, of course — Bird's Eye is marketing directly to children through a cross-promotional partnership with the popular kids TV show iCarly. The centerpiece of the co-branded campaign is a contest, "iCarly Cooks with Birds Eye," in which kids visiting the Nick.com website will be encouraged to develop wacky new recipes for vegetables. The contest kicked off Monday with a video featuring Jennette McCurdy, one of the stars of the show.
"We're hoping that will add to the cachet with kids, and we're also filming a commercial with kids that will be airing on Nickelodeon," Alan Creveling, Bird's Eye brand manager, told brandchannel. "It's a very Nickelodeon way: putting kids in charge of things."Continue reading...

It may be too early to say the cola wars are over, although it's clear that PepsiCo is ready and willing to take on another archrival. Following years of competing with Coca-Cola with its array of beverage and snack food brands in the U.S., PepsiCo is now getting into the red-hot yogurt market and adding Dannon to its competitive set.
Faced with a U.S. yogurt market that is more crowded than ever with brands, and demonstrating almost no growth except in the Greek yogurt category, PepsiCo announced Monday that it's introducing a fresh brand to yogurt-loving Americans — and one that isn't focusing on Greek — via a new partnership with the Theo Muller Group, Germany's largest privately held dairy
That's the prospect for Muller Quaker Dairy when it finally enters stores in northeastern and mid-Atlantic states with three lines of yogurt products birthed by the joint venture. Muller Quaker promises "innovative premium" products that aim to create differentiation and taste excitement in a U.S. yogurt category that PepsiCo executives believe is lacking both.
"It's been an 'I gotta have it because it's good for me' kind of a product," Dr. Mehmood Khan, who oversees PepsiCo's global research and development, commented to the New York Times. "The 'wanna have it' was missing."Continue reading...

While many global marketers are aiming Olympics-related campaigns at young consumers, the real core of TV watchers of London's Summer Olympics are expected to be older Gen X-ers and boomers. Those generations also struggle more than younger ones with obesity and other health issues.
All of that may be why Coca-Cola is using its Olympics sponsorship to do more than promote its new global "Move to the Beat" campaign, which is aimed at teens. Another new initiative by Coke is highlighting active lifestyles by centering on an "eight-pack" of athletes even though the first one revealed — Shawn Johnson — won't be competing in London following her recent surprise retirement from the sport.
In a challenging time in America for soft drink brands, led by New York City's proposed ban on large soft drinks, Coke is hoisting a healthy living banner into the London 2012 Olympics with a campaign which claims that — despite being dismissed as overcaloric sugar water by many health critics — the brand actually has an association with healthy lifestyles.Continue reading...

If the battle between New York and Big Soda were a sumo wrestling match, it might shake the entire Eastern Seaboard. The two giants have only begun squaring off in a titanic battle for the gullets and obeisance of Manhattan residents and the moral high ground too, after Mayor Bloomberg's proposed ban on selling carbonated soft drinks above 16 ounces in regulated outlets in Gotham.
The American soft-drink industry is ramping up its campaign to fight New York's proposed restrictions on large sugary drinks. Now the city is in the midst of a public-comment period on the proposal ahead of a scheduled July 24th public hearing, and PepsiCo, Coca-Cola and allies aren't sugar-coating their words in letting it be known exactly what they think of Bloomberg's idea.Continue reading...

Just because Chobani has opened up a huge lead in the Greek-style category it invented — and that is reshaping the U.S. yogurt business — doesn't mean that others can't try to chip away. Dannon has grabbed a significant share after sensing the opportunity with Chobani's rapid rise.
Other players, big and small, also are attempting to make more noise and get their stakes of a Greek-style market that has been calculated at about $1.5 billion a year now and still growing by strong double-digits — even coming up in discussions of Greece's Eurozone crisis. Yoplait, Hain Celestial and the Pinkberry chain are among the brands that are making their own plays. Ben & Jerry's just revamped its frozen yogurt line to make Greek Yogurt the basis of the line. Fage and Chobani have a friend in U.S. senator Chuck Schumer.
The most closely watched Greek yogurt brand is Yoplait. The General Mills line, which has shared the top of the U.S. yogurt market with Dannon for many years, got a particularly late start in the Greek segment. But now it's launching 40 new yogurt products, and Greek yogurt will be the centerpiece of that rollout this summer.Continue reading...

Lest traditional June Dairy Month close before dairy products get their well-deserved day in the marketing sun, let's turn our attention to a rising star in the milk-products firmament: butter.
That's right — congealed animal fat. The traditional Public Health Enemy No. 1 — cue the Paula Deen references — when it comes to clogged arteries. The iconic dairy product that you thought was a goner long before Oldsmobile. Butter is actually enjoying a renaissance these days — perhaps a halo effect from the popularity of bacon, and certainly thanks in part to efforts by the leading U.S. butter brand, Land O' Lakes.
Whether margarine or butter actually is more healthful has been a confused issue for decades now after margarine took an early lead. "People have become concerned about industrially produced trans fatty acids found in margarines, which increases risk factors for heart disease," Gregory Miller, EVP of the National Dairy Council, told brandchannel. And "we have learned that saturated fat intake is not as important a risk factor for heart disease as previously thought."Continue reading...

Purchasing your first DSLR is a big, important moment in your photographic journey, whether or not you ever intend to make photography more than just a hobby. However, the reality of purchasing and owning your first DSLR is often a lot less exciting than what you imagined while you were saving up to buy it.
If you have a hard time making sure everyone's looking at you when capturing a group photo, perhaps you should take a page out of this photographers book… and go sign up for some dance lessons.

Almost every smartphone camera comes with a dedicated panorama mode nowadays. Normally, this mode is used to capture large areas in a single image. However, its true abilities are only limited by your imagination.
As YouTubers Sam and Niko show us in the above video, the feature can be used to create glitched panorama portraits that humorously warp and contort subjects.

You might not know Bailey the golden retriever, but you probably do know OF her. She's the dog from one of the famous "I have no idea what I'm doing" Internet memes that you've probably seen floating around.
What you might not know is that Bailey does a lot more than sit in front of the computer looking confused. She does everything from chopping wood, to washing cars, to balancing her checkbook, and her owner (actually, we're not sure who's taking care of who…) is there to take pictures of every adventure.

Saturday March 16th (We can meet earlier and ride together out to Buckeye)
0930 Sheep Camp Restaurant
304 E US Highway 85 Buckeye, AZ
Have a little food and BS then MC85 west to Oglesby road north then west to Baseline road the NW on Salome Highway to Courthouse Rd west which turns into Centennial rd there we pick up the ElPaso Pipeline road aka 571st Ave which we ride for about 85 miles to 95 north arriving in Quartzite, AZ for a late lunch. On the way back we can jump on the freeway and attempt to stay awake after a long ride.
I am asking if you guys think this is a good idea because I have never been out that way and because of the 160 or so miles riding freeway home. Let me know it could be epic cool or fail but as always it would provide adventure.

"We put a basic picture of our daughter on the front and chose to put one photo of her dressed as superman and flying through the air (in her daddy's hands) on the back. We got a lot of praise from our friends and family about how cute the card was. Now the pressure is on to put on a great superhero party!"
"When I received these cards in the mail (early), I was happily surprised to see what good quality they were. Everyone I sent them to said how cute they were."
"Adorable card! Perfect for my son's Halloween themed 7th birthday party! Quality work! Delivery was also speedy! Thank you Tiny Prints!"
"I used this card for a Thank-you card for my husband's golf theme 60th birthday party. I used a picture of him showing up for the surprise party after completing a golf game. I put 60 on the flag and included his name on the side and wrote a thank-you note across the bottom instead of using it as an invite. The product is once again of high quality and so I was thrilled to send them out. Quite a few of our friends and relatives have commented on the great thank-you card they had received and a few have asked where I got them from, which again I share Tiny Prints information."
"Very pleased with the quality and speed of delivery of our superheroes invitation. Colours look good, it's excellent quality paper and straightforward ordering process, no hitches. No hesitation in using TinyPrints again and would recommend to friends."

LOS ANGELES -- The creator of "Star Trek" and his wife will spend eternity together in space. Celestis Inc., a company that specializes in "memorial spaceflights," said Monday that it will ship the remains of Gene Roddenberry and Majel Barrett Roddenberry into space next year.
The couple's cremated remains will be sealed into specially made capsules designed to withstand the rigors of space travel. A rocket-launched spacecraft will carry the capsules, along with digitized tributes from fans. The Roddenberrys' remains - and the spacecraft - will travel ever deeper into space and will not return to earth, company spokeswoman Susan Schonfeld said.
After Gene Roddenberry died in 1991, his wife commissioned Celestis to launch a part of his remains into space in 1997. She died Dec. 18, 2008.
