Paramount Cards: Frisky Business
Paramount Cards 400 Pine St., Pawtucket, RI 02860
Business Makes greeting cards.
Key Business Executive CEO Hamilton Davison
Key Technology Executive CIO Bruce Conforto
Project Streamline inventory and distribution processes.
Objectives Lower inventory costs for the card maker, its CardSmart retail franchisees and other retailers.
Technology Used Homegrown software, mostly created with Microsoft development tools, in combination with manufacturing systems on IBM's iSeries platform, plus the iSeries version of WebSphere.
How it gave edge over bigger companies Allows cards to be sold at a steep discount, while remaining profitable.
In the small Rhode Island town of Johnston, the CardSmart store sits in a strip mall, adjacent to a well-trafficked Super Stop & Shop grocery, a hairdresser and a woman's clothier called Fashion Bug Plus.
With a "$" in its logo, "Card$mart" calls out to the bargain-minded shopper. Every card is promoted as "50% off"compared to Hallmark, the industry giant, or its rival, American Greetings. The messages, selection and artwork of the cards, and even the layout of the store, may seem familiar. But this is creative mimicry from Paramount Cards, now the third-largest maker of greeting cards in the United States and creator of the CardSmart chain.
Paramount grew by about a third in 2000 when it bought Canadian card maker Image Craft. But the rest of its growth has come from pursuing a "value" strategy, whether promoting a half-price campaign at CardSmart stores or 99-cent cards at grocery outlets.
The premise: A shopper who has just spent $50 on a gift doesn't want to spend another $5 on a card. Yet that shopper still wants a card that looks like the $5 item he might buy elsewhere.
"Nobody wants to compromise an important relationship by sending a cheap card," says Paramount CEO Hamilton Davison.
To remain profitable at lower prices, Paramount has used information technology, lean manufacturing and supply chain improvements to get more efficient. "You don't cut the cost in half, do everything else the same and stay in business," Davison says.
Even at half-price, the guerrilla attack, through both business and technology strategies, is paying off.
Hallmark and American Greetings control 85% to 90% of the market, although solid numbers are hard to come by in this industry. Hallmark is a private company that doesn't release sales totals, and so is Paramount.
But market research estimates by The Leading Edge Group put Paramount's 2003 card sales at $130 million to $140 million, compared with $4 billion for Hallmark. In an earlier study, the same research firm pegged Paramount's 1996 sales at $20 million. According to Davison, the 1996 estimate is "a little low" while the 2003 one is the "right order of magnitude," putting Paramount at about 3% of Hallmark's size.
"In some ways, it's not a David versus Goliath story," he says. "We try to not get in a fight with Goliath. We try to find market niches where we can rewrite the rules and be dominant."
The Sentiment Factory
Paramount traces its history to a card and novelty company started in 1906, four years before the birth of Hallmark. Its headquarters occupies a former thread mill, built in 1872, in the Providence suburb of Pawtucket.
When Davison's father, Charles, bought the company in 1983, Paramount was primarily selling acetate cards, where artwork is printed on a translucent cover attached to the paper card.
But in the 1980s, acetate cards fell out of fashion. At the same time, Hallmark began to squeeze all but its own cards out of its franchised retail stores. That shut off Paramount's primary sales channel.
"The company, by all rights, should have become extinct," Davison says.
Paramount instead diversified its product line and sales channels, selling into food, discount and, ultimately, its own franchised stores.
And if the company were to survive, it would also have to become more efficient. When director of information systems and technologies Paul Choquette joined the company in the early 1990s, "just to fill out an order would take a week," he recalls. Now orders that come in by 2 p.m. are shipped out the same day.
Paramount also offers its retail customers the chance to lower their inventory cost through "scan-based trading," a relationship in which the card maker retains ownership of cards on the store shelves, automatically restocks them and only gets paid when the cards actually sell.
"We try to find market niches where we can rewrite the rules and be dominant"
But that only works if the retailer's point-of-sale system can capture a 5-digit "sidebar" bar code on the back of each card, in addition to the standard 12-digit Universal Product Code. While the 12 digits provide everything needed for a scanning cash register to ring up the proper price, the sidebar tells the store's inventory system exactly which card has just disappeared off the shelf. So a store that only scans the UPC must go through a less automated process of recording which specific cards are selling and need to be reordered. A store with a more sophisticated point-of-sale system automatically detects when there is only one card of a given design left on the rack, triggering an automatic reorder for a new pack of six.
The Sentiment Store
In 1995, Davison's first year as CEO, he set up Paramount's initial company-run discount store as a laboratory for testing new designs and strategies.
By 2001, CardSmart was a business in its own right, with Petter Etholm, a former chief operating officer of the NutriSystem diet franchise, as its president. Last year, Paramount also hired as chief information officer Bruce Conforto, a former CIO of Bradlees Stores (a defunct New England retailer), to improve the technical infrastructure supporting CardSmart and other retailers. By the end of this year, Paramount expects to have about 220 CardSmart stores, with all but eight owned by franchisees.
Through the doors of the Johnston CardSmart, shoppers find a wide variety of freshly produced cards. In August, the Paramount card line located in the prime spot at the front of the store was Frisky Business, which features goofy animal pictures on "to the pet" and "from the pet" cards. A basset hound wearing Groucho glasses wishes a "Happy Birthday ... from someone who's crazy about you!" Other cards fill the full range of sentiments from mushy to romantic, goofy to sarcastic.
With more than 4,000 designs in circulation, keeping the right cards in stock is still a challenge. When the racks get picked over, shoppers are likely to walk away frustrated.
To keep that from happening, Paramount has driven up the availability of cards ordered from the warehouse. The availability rate had been in the low 90s a few years ago, and anything below 95% creates big gaps on the retail racks, Davison says. Through a program of continuous improvement, including both technological and management changes, Paramount has pushed the availability rate to over 99% and held it there for the past four years.
For its own CardSmart stores, Paramount uses a point-of-sale system called The Assistant Manager (TAM) from Lode Data Systems. After trying and discarding a couple of better-known retail systems, Paramount found TAM a better match for its franchise model because it is affordable for franchisees and allows those who run multiple stores to do their own consolidated sales analysis, according to Conforto. Paramount also found that the system's software architecture, based on Microsoft standards, made it relatively easy to customize to support Paramount's replenishment requirements.
Most of Paramount's replenishment, inventory and manufacturing software has been custom-developed by Choquette's team of developers, either working with Microsoft tools like Visual Basic and FoxPro or writing programs for the IBM iSeries (also known as AS/400) platform. By taking advantage of the iSeries version of IBM's WebSphere application server, the team now creates Web pages for running their order entry systems. That allows Paramount's Toronto operation to tap into the same order and inventory database used at the Pawtucket headquarters, over the Internet. The goal is to allow retailers to enter orders and track deliveries themselves on a Web browser, Choquette says.
Picking and Choosing
How does Paramount pick up market share? By cementing new relationships, such as with Fred's Stores, a Memphis-based retailer with 530 stores in 14 states. Paramount executives call Fred's "our Wal-Mart" because it's their biggest set of stores run by one customer.
Fred's hadn't tried scan-based trading, Conforto says, "but we held their hand, and they've done a great job." Besides providing technical assistance and advice, Conforto recommended a former colleague whom Fred's wound up hiring to help with the work. "The partnership is deeper than 'here are some UPCs, now send us some money,'" Conforto says. Fred's has also become an important reference customer, opening doors for Paramount at other retail chains, he adds.
But technology isn't always the way to gain ground on Hallmark or American Greetings. Paramount's Pawtucket warehouse, for instance, is relatively low-tech. Boxes of cards sit in trays on slanted shelves, so that a new box will slide forward whenever an empty one is removed.
Warehouse personnel who fill orders get bonuses based on the accuracy of the card shipments they put together for customers. They face random checking of orders at the warehouse. But their work is even checked, automatically, at the cash register. An error caught at a customer's checkout lane can be traced to the individual who packed the order, through the carton's bar-code.
This system of rewards and verification is so successful that Paramount officials have grown skeptical of inventory management vendors promising performance improvements.
"We're close to 99% accuracy, and we can't justify the cost to pick up another half a percent," Choquette says. Paramount's Toronto warehouse, by contrast, has a more mechanized and automated order picking operation, and its performance metrics don't appear to be any better.
As Davison points out: "We love technology and we've made a lot of technology investment, but as a small private company, we've had to pick and choose."

I don't know about you, but I'm sick and tired of reading about vampires and fairies and pixies and werewolves and robot-humans.
It's just getting a little old and repetitive. Like your favourite jeans that were great when they were stiff and new, but are now worn, shredding and full of holes.
The trouble is, I do enjoy the mystery and fantasy of a new species. I love delving into a world that takes me out of this world. And most of all, I crave getting just a little bit freaked out and a little bit scared by a suspenseful, frightening plotline (but not too frightening!).
So, if you are like me, I have two books to recommend to you. These are books with a paranormal twist but they do not have vampires and they are interesting, exciting and based on a fresh, new idea.
The first book I recommend for the non-vamp, pro-paranormal folks out there is Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book.
The Graveyard Book transports you to the world of ghosts and life(?) after death. It opens on the scene of a crime, wherein a two-year-old boy manages to escape the bloody hands of a murderer who kills his family. Mercifully, miraculously, the boy ends up in a graveyard, where the ghostly residents adopt him and raise him as their own. Unfortunately, the boy is being relentessly pursued by the murderer and the safest place for him is in the confines of the graveyard.
Three words I would use to describe this novel: dark, witty, mysterious. Check out the book trailer.
You'll love it. It will keep you reading.
My second non-vamp, pro-paranormal pick is Miss Perengrin's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs.
As a child, Jacob's grandfather told him stories about growing up on a small island in a home with friends who...had special "abilities," like the levitating girl on the cover of the book. Jacob believes his grandfather, until he gets to old for "fairy stories." The trouble is, Jacob wants to believe the stories are true--or does he?
A levitating girl, an invisible boy, a young woman who can hold fire, and a bird who is actually a old woman are just a few of the people Jacob encounters in his search for the truth about his grandfather's stories.
The eerie characters in this book gave me chills and the mystery kept me glued to the pages. Riggs uses old victorian photos to illustrate the book and they lend a spooky mood. You will love it.
Watch the trailer here.

Knoxville (WVLT) - In the overnight hours of Monday night into Tuesday morning, Knoxville Police were investigating a series of crimes in West Knoxville. While police say none of these three overnight crimes in West Knoxville are related, it has some residents and officials talking.
Volunteer TV's Kim Bedford takes a look at crime in West Knoxville and Knox County.
We all know crime can happen anywhere. Some West Knoxville residents say while they don't see much, neighbors out west often feel it can't happen to them and unfortunately, that's just not the case.
"I think there's a lot more opportunity for crime out west because we're a little more relaxed," Beth Boline has lived in the Westwood subdivision off Northshore for more than a decade. "I've always felt it was a good place to live and own a home, pretty safe, but I don't think any community is immune to crime."
And neither do Knoxville Police.
"We don't talk perception. We talk realities and facts, and it's a fact that you can be a victim of a crime no matter where you're at in this city," says Darrell DeBusk, from the Knoxville Police Department.
KPD says West Knoxville has not seen an increase in crime, in fact, the city as a whole has improved.
"Across the city, across the board, crime is down more than 14% this year versus last year," DeBusk says.
"I represent the 2nd district, which is West of Neyland Drive," Councilwoman Barbara Pelot says she just attended a neighborhood association meeting with a KPD officer Monday night. "He was saying, I have nothing to report, and that really involved primarily the Bearden area, West Hills."
Pelot says West Knoxville residents can rest at ease knowing they're in a safe area. "There have been a few incidents, but they, to me, are not reflective of any increasing crime."
Knox County Commissioner Craig Leuthold says West Knox County is not a target for crime either. "Does it happen? Yes. Is it rampid? No."
Many Westside residents like Joy Smith say they wouldn't want to raise their children anywhere else. "I don't know if we're just fortunate and blessed to be in a great part of town, but I just feel like it's a safe place to be."
The Knox County Sheriff's Department says its computer system is down and if it's back up Wednesday, we'll show you the break down of east, west, north and south crime rates.
Officials say neighborhood watch groups are one of the best things you can be a part of to reduce crime in your area.

Spring Breakers 2012
Way out of my comfort zone. Which could be a good thing, except for the fact that everything feels so shallow. Harmony Korine is a guy with experience in making his audience uncomfortable - he's the guy who wrote "Kids". But I remember "Kids" as a movie that made me feel bad, because it felt real.
Nothing in "Spring Breakers" feels real. Which may be completely intentional: A vacation spent drinking and taking drugs doesn't feel real once you're back…

Mountain photographers for happy couples who love life, each other and the great outdoors as much as we do.
Ten years ago we started this business with nothing but two photography degrees and a dream.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We knew when we met you that you were the ones for the job but you have exceeded our expectations by a long shot. Our photos are amazing and you were both such a pleasure to work with. Both Todd & I keep saying "Where were they?". The candid shots are incredible and the details you thought to capture absolutely rock! I don't know what else to say but awesome job. We enjoyed you both so much! We hope to see you soon again next time we are in Breck!
Thank you so much for these amazing photographs and for making the whole photography process so easy! How you manage to take such beautiful photos in the speed that you do baffles me! Taking the bridal party and family photos did not keep us away from the party at all. We have never been happier and the pictures show it. I feel like you really captured who we are as a couple and as individuals. It was so easy to be ourselves around you. Thank you for being a part of it and providing the photographs that allow us to relive it for the rest of our lives!Erin
Thank you thank you thank you!!! We are absolutely thrilled with the photos. They are exactly what I'd always hoped for and perfectly captured all the events, people and emotions of our day. Just looking at some of the ceremony ones makes my eyes well up with tears all over again every time I look at them, which is often. The groomsmen photos are really some of the best pictures of a group of guys I've ever seen. Plus we had such a blast hanging out with you and Mark all afternoon! I would recommend you both to all my friends. Thank you for capturing our special day so perfectly.Jennifer

Sex Offender Management
The Bureau of Probation and Parole currently supervises 1,250 felony sex offenders throughout the state of Idaho. These offenders have been convicted of various felony sex offenses and are under supervision with an assigned probation and parole officer or sex offender unit team. The majority of sex offenders are supervised by these sex offender unit teams consisting of two or more probation and parole officers specifically trained in the monitoring of sex offenders and the unique issues with regard to this population.The Idaho Department of Correction also uses specific policy and procedure for the Bureau of Probation and Parole to monitor compliance and rehabilitative efforts of all supervised sex offenders.
Community Sex Offender Information
Idaho Department of Correction Policies Regarding Sex Offender Supervision
SOP 701.04.02.006, Sex Offenders: Supervision and Classification, provides the necessary guidelines and objectives for sex offender probation and parole officers to follow with regard to supervision of sex offenders. This policy instills guidelines and supervision procedures regarding sex offender intake, assessment, determination of supervisory level, case planning with treatment requirements, monitoring and compliance tools, sanctions and interventions, travel, housing, chaperones and activities.
Professional Organizations
Center for Sex Offender Management (CSOM)
Association for Treatment of Sexual Abusers (ATSA)
Sex offenders on probation or parole, living in our neighborhoods and working in our local businesses, present a unique risk to our communities. Probation and parole officers are required to assess the individual risks of sex offenders and monitor their progress in treatment and their compliance to the rules of supervision. Officers are required to work closely with treatment providers, verify residence and employment, conduct curfew checks, investigate alleged violations, enforce the collection of cost of supervision and restitution payments, and report the sex offender's progress and behaviors to the court or Commission of Pardons and Parole.

Liturgical Commentary
Post: #1
Liturgical Commentary
I have received a number of enquiries arising from my work on the Raising of Morning and Evening Incense, recently published as an introduction to the texts of those services by the British Orthodox Press. I thought it might be easier to answer them on the Forum.
I am hoping to complete annotated liturgical texts, with rubrics, ceremonial directions and commentary, for the Raising of Incense and the (Coptic) Liturgy of St Basil by the middle of this year. This has been a long work-in-progress, endlessly interrupted (alas) by University commitments.
The draft works are almost completed and, alas, very length: in terms of A4 single-spaced pages they run to Incense:100 pages, Prothesis:30, St Basil:200, Communion Outside the Liturgy:15 and the Fraction:30. These are not intended for use in practice: the liturgical texts used are taken for accuracy of meaning, not beauty of form!
The work on St Basil is definitely NOT intended as a ?how to do it? guide for BOC Priests, since, in my opinion, no-one should celebrate St Basil who has not received the traditional training prescribed for that rite (known as ?The Forty Days?) and participated in the formal, ceremonial completion of the training (known as ?Receiving the Sacrament?). It was my privilege to undergo that training and to ?Receive the Sacrament? from one of the Coptic Church?s most knowledgeable Monk-Priests.
By the end of the year I would like to have completed equivalent works on the rites of Baptism and Chrismation, Absolution and Matrimony.
Traditionally, the details of the rubrics, ceremonial instructions and traditions in relation to Coptic rites were transmitted orally ? during ?The Forty Days? and thereafter ? and not committed to writing. There is no Coptic equivalent of, for example, Fortescue and O?Connell (for the old Roman Catholic rite) or ?Ritual Notes? (for Anglo-Catholics). Some commentators (like Meinardus and Burmester) have given accounts which more or less summarize the traditions, and Bishop Mattaous (of The Syrian Monastery) provides the best English account of them in his ?The Spirituality of the Rites of he Holy Liturgy in the Coptic Orthodox Church? (and in other papers on the other rites).
The traditional rites were (and are!) extraordinarily complex and demanding and, I suspect, gradually being lost. Certainly, except in the case of my Monk-Priest teacher I have never seen them celebrated in their full complexity, although I am sure they are so celebrated in the more traditionalist monasteries in Egypt. This is one reason why I hope to be able to commit them to writing.
To fully participate in the rites of the Church we need to understand them so that we, whether clergy or laity, are no longer passive observers, but active participants.

Dear Fr. Gregory,
Thank you so much for updating us like this; it is good to know that there are these works still to come.
I have found your work on the Raising of Morning and Evening Incense most edifying, and good to have to hand as a new member of the Church; but I cannot imagine a time when it will not be good to have it there. Your introduction is splendid, if I may say so, and it will be tremendous to have the other texts available - and so sensitively annotated.
Thank you so much for this work.
In Christ,
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (1 John 4:10)

Dishes with Stellar Sauces and Toppings
A hot dog without the ketchup, mustard, relish and maybe even sauerkraut is no hot dog at all! (No offense, hot dog). A rewarding way to amp up your cooking is by incorporating marinades, sauces, and toppings into the mix for oodles of sophistication and piquant flavor. Our Trout Schnitzel with Lemon-Chile Butter recipe would have to agree. Now get busy!
Looking for more ways to add flavor? Try one of these quick dry rubs and marinades and if you're thinking of making pasta, try one of Giada de Laurentiis' sauce ideas.
Poached Scrambled Eggs with Goat Cheese Sauce
Super-creamy, perfectly scrambled eggs are hard to come by. We suggest you beat the eggs, cook them quickly in a vortex of boiling water, then immediately drain them for best results. Topped with goat cheese sauce, the dish becomes a kind of reverse omelet. If you're scrambling just one egg, the cooking time will be 20 seconds. For four eggs, the time increases to 40 seconds.

text: In contrast to the black that we saw reappear on the runaway and the more muted shades of gray, we saw jolts of electric color from the neon looks of Marc Jacobs who really echoed the era of the 80s. My Michael Kors has used a vibrant orange, one of his favorite colors, and then that pop of neon lime that surprised us all. To Isaac Mizrahi's clever play with colors and patterns, layers or Jill Sander's architectural use of orange, so there's always an alternative to the classic pieces that we may already have in our wardrobe.

So, last nights movie was The Adjustment Bureau with Matt Damon. I had no idea what it was about, but I figured I couldn't go wrong with Matt Damon right? Turns out it's about an affair between a politician and a ballerina affected by mysterious forces keeping them apart. A romantic tale of "you and me against the world," and in this case the world is the hands of fate; Destiny. Two lovers apparently not meant to be together, it doesn't fit the plan. The "hands of fate" in this case is a team of fedora wearing men; the Adjustment Bureau, whose attempts to keep them in line and make sure they stay on their chosen path proves...Read More

What do you think of dreams? That they are messages from the unconscious, that they are the result of the mind processing the days events, that they are prophetic or that they have no meaning at all, and are just nonsense? A dream I had two nights in a row this week left me with a feeling of the numinosity of dreams and their meanings, and made me recall another magic dream from years ago. I dreamt that my husband was looking for a house in the city for us to rent. The first one was okay, very ordinary and nothing to rave about. The second house was a huge Victorian terrace, with high ceilings and furnished. The furniture was very large, very expensive and inside the...Read More

When it comes to choosing a life coach, finding the right one for you is like finding the right running shoes. Sometimes, off and running, you find a pair that fit just right. But, sometimes you have to try on a couple pair and compare. Still other times, you have to run around the block a couple times. Sometimes people finally cultivate the courage to...Read More
What is your experience of fear? Is it fear that you will fail, or arguably more common, that you will succeed? Is it keeping you small, feeding itself on the negative self-talk of 'not good enough', 'not accepted', or 'not loved'? What if, instead of STOP, whenever fear showed up it meant GO FOR IT! There is only one antidote to fear – and that is to do the very thing you fear. Don't wait for courage to appear to overcome the fear. Courage comes from acknowledging the fear and acting in spite of it. Until you take this step, the fear will be the monster that lurks under the bed, or the stalker lying in wait in the woods,...Read More
Anger is a human emotion. It is strongly linked to rage, and all of us have experienced it in some form since we were children. We are taught as children that anger and rage are not OK, and so we learn very early on and very skilfully to hide our anger and our rage. Anger is also linked to fear. It is often a fear response that triggers an angry outburst, and is part of the fight or flight response. But fighting and retreating are actions that we take in response to an external threat. These actions are inbuilt into our system, and exist in order to preserve our life – they are a function of the part of our brain known as the limbic system. When this function of the...Read More

I'm a freak when it comes to pictures. I love taking them, editing them, printing them, and scrapbooking them. I love looking through my scrapbooks year after year, and reliving all the wonderful (or not so wonderful) moments. The kids love looking through their books, too, and honestly now they ask me to scrapbook so they can see how different they look this year from last. Sadly, this chapter of my life has me too busy to keep up with everything on that front, but it's there-on my never ending to do list.
But, I'm always on the lookout for websites, products, or anything to feed my obsession. Most recently, I stumbled across the website www.scancafe.com. The beauty of this website is that you can send in your old "nondigital" photos, and they will scan them, enhance them, and send them back in digitized form (CDs or DVDs). It's been a silent stress of mine that my daughter's newborn and baby pics are only HARD COPIES from film, and this option totally solves that problem for me! I'm adding it to my picture to-dos, and now her pictures (and maybe some others of us pre-kid) will be forever archived-ready for scrapbooking at any moment.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Jim Cramer fills his blog on RealMoney every day with his up-to-the-minute reactions to what's happening in the market and his legendary ahead-of-the-crowd ideas. This week he blogged on:
- three things that make him nervous; and
- when the market has no idea what to do.
Click here for information on RealMoney, where you can see all the blogs, including Jim Cramer's -- and reader comments -- in real time.
3 Things Make Me NervousPosted at 2:22 p.m. EDT on Friday, Sept. 20 Three things make me nervous. One, the Volatility Index (VIX) is way too low. Two, we are headed into the budget showdown, and you need cash to buy as the showdown goes along -- it is a gauntlet, remember. Three, we are so overbought it makes sense to take profits, even if things are good -- and they aren't. We are so uncertain at this juncture. The financials act terribly because people sense that rates can't stay down, even as they appear to be. Retail has really stalled. We have earnings around the corner. We are hitting all sorts of new highs. Yet, where's the beef? If you haven't read a single Washington story, you know that you are going to hear endless shutdown talk. Why is that a reason to buy? It is only a reason to buy when we get closer to the end and you need cash now. (TSLA), Amazon (AMZN) and Netflix (NFLX) mock all the short-sellers. They show the worst of the speculative spirits. A classic case of cult stocks that are immune -- until they aren't. At the time of publication, Action Alerts PLUS, which Cramer co-manages as a charitable trust, had no positions in the stocks mentioned.
Reading This Fed Rotation Posted at 2:13 p.m. EDT on Thursday, Sept. 19 Sometimes the market has no idea what to do. This is one of those times. First, we have decided that the Fed is all powerful and because it got rates down to 2.75% on the 10-year Treasury note, we should sell stocks that do well in a recession, especially if they delivered just in-line earnings. So consumer packaged goods company ConAgra (CAG), which reported pretty much exactly what it said it would nine days ago, gets clobbered, going down another dollar on top of the two bucks it lost the day of the preannouncement. Why not? Who needs an underperforming food company when the Fed just greenlighted an economic expansion. Who needs Slim Jims when we can buy stocks of companies that make cabinets and washing machines? Same with General Mills (GIS). This fantastic company reported an in-line number and gave in-line guidance, and it has been eviscerated. Who needs Cheerios when we can buy railroad stocks?

A Brief History of the Flying Car
The dream and promise of the flying car is more than a century old. Yet we're still not zipping around in them. Our history of audacious attempts shows why building a machine that can fly and drive has proven so difficult.
By Phil Berg
The first flight of the M400X Skycar is scuttled; it's another miscue by inventor Paul Moller, who has been trying to get a car airborne since the 1970s.

Those torrents aren't going to download themselves. You're going to want yourself a solid bittorrent client, and since you're running Android, you're in luck. The BitTorrent app underwent a big 2.0 redesign just last month, and now µTorrent is starting to do the same. It's a much needed change too. Just take a look.
In an update to version 4.2.16, Google's YouTube app has received a (thankfully) refreshed UI for ten-inch screens, along with some bug fixes. The "revamped" UI seems to be the only thing of note in this update (though if there are any hidden goodies, you can be sure Ron will tell us about them soon), but it makes for a great refresh. For the sake of comparison, we'll take a look at a few before and after shots.
Skitch, a popular annotation and sharing app, received an update to version 2.0 today with a redesigned interface, a handful of useful markup tools, and improved Evernote integration.
For those unaware, Skitch is an app that allows users to "communicate visually with friends, co-workers, or anyone." Essentially, it can draw in resources like notes, photos, screenshots, or maps, and then add markup to convey ideas or highlight important aspects of the document for later reference or sharing.
"Android has always put you in control when it comes to staying notified and connected. Now you can take action directly from the notifications shade," says Android's updated "What's New" page. Indeed, today's Jelly Bean announcement saw a number of improvements to the already handy notification system we've come to know and love in previous iterations of Android. Not only can the new notifications system display larger, richer notifications, developers can create actionable notification with interactive controls for telephony, music, and more.
When it comes to testing bandwidth throughput of your Android device, the Speedtest.net app is considered a de facto standard - it's functional, the UI is gorgeous, and there is a good chance they have a server pretty close to your location. I've tried all the speed testing programs in the Market, and always kept coming back to this one. For a long time the app has remained unchanged on the Market, lagging behind its iOS counterpart and its shiny new user interface.

FILE -- House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, left, and President Barack Obama meet with congressional leaders in the Cabinet Room of the White House. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster)
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says President Barack Obama had a constructive meeting with congressional leaders on the looming "fiscal cliff" that could undermine the economy and slow job creation in the new year.
Obama met with the top leaders of the House and Senate for more than an hour Friday on ways to avert the cliff, a series of automatic tax increases and spending cuts scheduled to take effect Jan. 1. in the absence of intervening action.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Obama and the legislative leaders "agreed to do everything possible to find a solution" and find a balanced approach to reduce the deficit that includes increased revenue favored by Democrats and spending cuts favored by Republicans.
Congressional leaders expressed confidence they could reach a deal before Christmas.

Parker, J., 2006. I remember that... Reminiscence groups with people with dementia: A valuable site for practice learning. Groupwork, 16 (1), pp. 7-28.
Full text available as:
Restricted to Registered users only
This paper describes a small scale group project developing and delivering reminiscence work with people with dementia and undertaken by social work students as part of their practice learning experiences. The potential for enhancing the student learning experience and additional benefits for staff and group participants are explored and the limitations of the study critiqued. Findings indicated that students and staff gain mutual benefits from such projects which also have the potential to create possibilities for the enhancement of service delivery. The project stemmed from a desire and objective to ensure the sustainability of reminiscence work as part of an earlier cross-European comparison of the use of volunteers in working with people with dementia. However, sustainability issues require careful planning and thought. The study highlights the need for the participation of all stakeholders, especially those who are marginalised, in developing and undertaking groupwork.

That's what the ground-breaking "Purchase for Progress" initiative has done in 20 countries around the world. Now in the fifth and final year of its pilot phase, here's what five farmers who took part in it have to say about the experience.

WFP implemented the first "Integral Course on Health, Nourishment and Nutrition with Emphasis on Gender: Management and Storage of Food and their Application in Emergencies" with the aim of educating men and women in a series of key issues related to health, nourishment and nutrition that may have a positive impact in the assistance provided to vulnerable groups.
25 July 2012
Pizza Hut and the World Food Programme are celebrating on August 26th the Puch Marathon II, an event that is part of the overall World Hunger Relief campaign that are promoted by YUM! Brands. The main goal is to increase public awareness of the issue of hunger and to raise funds for WFP and other international organizations.

Description: For Jack Crews, the rules of the road are simple: Don't look at the cargo. Don't question the route. And don't stop moving, if you want to stay alive. Jack's driving days were over until he got an offer he couldn't refuse. But what was expected to be a straight run up north has taken some unexpected turns. Now, the stakes are high as gun runners, government agents and a fleet of monstrous 18-wheelers pursue Jack in an intense highway duel.

Are you in overwhelm about what is happening to YOUR world when it comes to Technology? We use to think that using a remote control was a challenge. REALLY. Now we find ourselves not only bombarded with e-mail from all different directions, but we have five different ways to check the e-mail and alerts going off like alarm clocks all hours of the day and night. Morning arrives and it starts all over again. Even if you were to be on your computer during all waking hours of the day and night you still couldn't be on every social media site that the media is "touting," and, quite frankly, who would want to?
It's time to really look out for #1 and decide how you want to DESIGN your life and go for it. (There may not be a "DO OVER") Of course you may want to tweak it from time to time or even change directions, but the fact is that this YOUR life and it's up to you to create your life BY DESIGN.
Here are some tips to get started today!
1) Find time to have a couple of hours to yourself. YES…you can do it. Choose a place other than your home or office. Get out of your own environment. Tapping into your own creativity often times is best found in a completely different setting than the day-to-day. (BE SURE YOU DO NOT TAKE YOUR DEVICES WITH YOU: NO PHONES, IPADS, IPODS, LAPTOPS, ETC). This is time to connect to your own authentic self and your creativity!
2) Think FORWARD. What is it that you really want in your life? Freedom, peace, great relationships, travel, more time. Dig down deep and look at the "IF I COULD HAVE IT ALL" scenario with the ALL being what you really see as critical for you. Write it down. Detail it. Sit with it and see what FEELS right for you.
3) NO TECH DAYS. Allow yourself to detach, disconnect, and disallow any technical devices for one day a week! Yes…you can survive and even THRIVE on getting away from the technology overload and find something else to do for a day. Take a nature day or day with the family without answering your phone. The calls will be waiting for you tomorrow and guess what? You will find that you are clearer about what you want your life to look like with fresh new ideas and the energy to go along with them.

Slightly transparent on a lighter colored top sheet but something black or dark, you wouldn't be able to see through it.

COMMON SENSE: All Quiet on the Southern Front?
By Harold on Fri, 06/03/2011 - 4:01pm
WASHINGTON . According to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, everything is hunky-dory on America's southern border. In her public appearances and speeches, Napolitano consistently claims that things along our side of the U.S.–Mexico border are "safer than ever" and that "spillover violence" is simply "a widespread misperception."

Gus plays down Healy link
Brighton boss Gus Poyet has played down speculation linking him with a move for David Healy.The Northen Ireland striker is currently out of the first-team picture at Sunderland but although Poyet wants to bolster his firepower, he insists Healy is not a target."I suspect these rumours came about because I know him very well and he is a person I enjoyed working with when I was at Leeds," said Poyet."That said, from my point of view, I would love to have David with us. However, that is another matter because we have not spoken to anyone about it and we have not contacted the club, so it is nothing more than speculation."

Signature Acoustics Elements Series C-12
" The C-12s are the first IEM from Indian company, Signature Acoustics. The C-12s use a hand-made wooden housing and a great looking wooden Y-split and slider. At around $60 (AUD) they are a budget IEM which is impressive given their hand-made and all wood design, but the sound is just a little way off from being something to get excited about. Overall, the sound is smooth, laid-back..." --Loquah

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Freshman Molly Melton scored 17 points to lead Knoxville Webb to the TSSAA Division II-A girls state title with a 41-34 win Saturday over defending champion Franklin Road Academy.
Junior Kelly Vittetoe added 12 points for the Lady Spartans (26-6) in a rematch of last year's championship game. Webb also won the D-II Class AA girls' title in 2009 and the D-II crown in 2007.
FRA junior Derica Wyatt, who added the 2012 Miss Basketball award to her 2010 honor, was held to 11 points for the Lady Panthers (31-5).
Melton, the tournament MVP, had seven second-quarter points, including two free throws on an FRA technical, as Webb outscored the Lady Panthers 14-5. She also hit a 3-pointer that bounced in on the third-quarter buzzer after Mariah Canday's 3 helped cut Webb's 13-point lead to 29-21.
Melton sank another 3-pointer with 6:38 remaining, and Vittetoe and Melton had back-to-back baskets after Christine Matthews pulled FRA within 35-27. Matthews' eight points all came in the final quarter.

It feels like a tough job when it comes to predicting the 10 qualifiers from semi final 1. Looking at my past predictions I use to be able to pick out 8 out of 10 right. And after I've been watching the third and last rehearsal on the tv-screen in the press centre, I now think I should be able to live up to my previous record.
One whole year we need to wait for Eurovision, then what is happening? We get excited and start remembering pretty things from the past contests. Fevers like preparing for the trip, missing our friends who we meet once a year. Euroclub and parties, taking crazy pictures, working hard, smiling for promo-materials.
There were a lot of things that people didn't predict were going to happen before the curtain went up on the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest. Few thought Ireland would claim its third victory with the two rock'n'roll kids and nearly bankrupt RTÉ. And even fewer thought that Riverdance would become one of the biggest shows in the world.
We now know the result of the four semi finals, and boy was I wrong in my predictions. I made the huge mistake of thinking that the viewer's would vote exactly like they did last year. Then they voted all the big stars through to the final. But this year something has happened. The big question is what?!
Yes, how hard can it be to select a bunch of great songs sung by good singers and let them compete against each other in a national final well set up? Apparently it is very difficult this year.
As a Swede, I'm waiting with excitement for the Melodifestivalen season to start. All the artists and composers have been announced, so as of right now we're just waiting for the party to start. And meanwhile there are of course speculations among the Swedish fans, about who will surprise us this year, and who will be the winner of Melodifestivalen 2010?
On 5th October 2009 in Berlin, the MTV European Music Awards was held. Two of the most famous Eurovision singers, Dima Bilan and Elena Paparizou were nominated for Best European Act, Russian and Greek. In the voting, Dima Bilan took a better place then Elena Paparizou. But, the winner is......
This year, the BBC showed Europe that actually, they and the United Kingdom do take the Eurovision Song Contest seriously. They persuaded Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, possibly the biggest name in musical theatre, to write the song and head a talent search for the winner.
Travelling to the Netherlands three or four times a year I have realised that they have an unwritten rule that lie as a duvet over the whole country. It has to do with Gerard Joling – and De Toppers – and I can't live up to it.
The concept of a song written only for the Eurovision Song Contest is more than 50 years old, and it could do with a facelift.
