Because Market of Choice believes in social responsibility, we place great importance on giving back to our community. We receive dozens of requests every week for donations, and we simply cannot accommodate everyone's request. For this reason, we've decided that all of our charitable giving will go to support the following programs. Thank you for your understanding and support.
Angel Hair Foundation is a private, non-profit corporation that reaches out to children in Oregon who have lost their hair due to medical illness. It provides the funding needed to purchase cranial prosthesis hair systems, or "Angel Hair Systems," to help children who deal with social acceptance issues. The foundation was started when Staci, daughter of Market of Choice President Rick Wright, went through chemotherapy and received a prosthetic hair system. To help support the foundation and its mission, Market of Choice is an annual sponsor of Shall We Dance, a dance competition that features local celebrities. Learn more by visiting www.angelhairfoundation.org.
eScrip allows Market of Choice to give up to 4 percent of customer purchases to the school, group or organization of the customer's choice year round when they use a debit or credit card. Thanks to our customers, Market of Choice is the one of the largest grocery store contributors to Oregon schools through eScrip. To learn how to get involved, visit www.escrip.com.
FOOD for Lane County is a private, nonprofit food bank, whose goal is to eliminate hunger by creating access to food. As the largest local retailer, Market of Choice participates in the SCAN program by encouraging customers to add a $1, $5 or $10 coupon to their total purchases, which is then donated to the food bank. Market of Choice is also a participant and major sponsor of Chef's Night Out, a benefit dinner that donates 100 percent of its proceeds to FOOD for Lane County. In addition, Market of Choice donates thousands of pounds of food to Lane County's Food Rescue Program each year.
Linn Benton Food Share, based in Corvallis, has been pursuing the goal that "Everybody Eats" since 1981. To help, the Market of Choice store in Corvallis launched a SCAN program in 2011. Similar to its Eugene stores, customers can add a $1, $5 or $10 coupon to their purchase at checkout. That amount is then donated to Linn Benton Food Share. The Corvallis Market of Choice also donates more than 2 tons of food per month to Food Share, items that are getting close to their expiration date or prepared food that would otherwise go to waste.
Produce Buddies began in 2006 when Market of Choice partnered with local grade-school teacher Kathy Ira to help her educate her students about health and nutrition. Happy to participate, Market of Choice agreed to provide punch cards that allow children (up to age 11) to purchase one produce item – up to a $2 value – on 12 different store visits. Today, several schools use Produce Buddies to educate children about nutrition and good health.
Relief Nursery is a nonprofit program proven to strengthen high-risk families and keep children safe and healthy. Every year Market of Choice sponsors The Great Taste, a fundraising auction where its cheese and wine stewards offer tastings of their favorite products. All of the proceeds go to the Relief Nursery, whose mission is to prevent the cycle of child abuse and neglect with early intervention that focuses on building successful and resilient children, strengthening parents and preserving families. To learn more about the Relief Nursery's programs, visit www.reliefnursery.org.

When your life begins with murder, learning who to trust can be deadly. A killer with a twisted view of religion is counting the days, forty days and forty nights, and counting the murders, seven women every seven years. But he doesn't realize two determined women are counting the days too, the days until they have vengeance and the hunter becomes the hunted. Every seven years, seven women die. All blonde, all single, all pregnant. But the intriguing profiler knows more than she reveals, and the savvy TV correspondent has seen his face. Now two women with secret pasts make one vow: to stop a killer.

She can't help dreaming about being Troy's bride. But will he still want to be her groom when he finds out who she really is?

Middle-Of-The-Risk-Spectrum ETFs for Uncertainties in November
NEW YORK ( ETF Expert) -- It would be easy to blame the S&P 500's 50-point intra-day pullback from a September peak on quarterly corporate numbers alone. After all, roughly one-quarter of companies have reported and a mere 60% surpassed earnings expectations -- a "beat rate" that is lower than at any other point since the bull market began in early 2009.
Even more disconcerting? Only 40% of firms have exceeded revenue targets, demonstrating that the slowdown in sales is widespread.
At the same time, the likelihood of unimpressive quarterly results had been discussed by analysts and media pundits at great length. Are we now resorting to the easiest target to explain profit taking and risk avoidance?
There are equally compelling arguments to be made about the nature of risk-taking itself. Specifically, near-term market direction may be overwhelmed by a wider array of uncertainties than had previously existed.For example, near-term markets had previously "priced in" little change in the White House with an Obama victory and little change in Congress with the House remaining in Republican hands. While some might argue that the race was always going to be close, it was Romney's October surprise in the debates that has revived talk about "hanging chads," "voter fraud," and a "Year 2000 scenario" in November. Why would an uncertain election outcome be particularly devastating in 2012? Without a clear winner, resolution on the fiscal cliff issues might not be attainable at all; Congress wouldn't be able to fully negotiate with the executive branch. Indeed, there are few uncertainties that have as much crash-provoking power as paralysis in the U.S. government. It happened in August 2011 over the debt ceiling and it can happen again over a much

General Motors Co. shares are having the worst start to a year since returning to the market after bankruptcy. Traders are bracing for bigger declines.
General Motors Co. , the largest U.S. automaker, will raise prices by an average of $123, or 0.4 percent, per vehicle because of higher commodity costs.
To Marvin Barnes, an African- American college basketball standout whose run-ins with the law earned him the nickname "Bad News," Tom McMillen was the great white hype.
Nikolai Beshkarev, chief of the basketball office of the Soviet Sport Games Department, rarely traveled abroad with the national team. He made an exception to attend a pre-Olympic tournament from June 30 to July 2, 1972, in Munich for the Soviets and three other European squads.
Chinese affiliates of the four largest accounting firms were barred for six months from leading audits of U.S.-listed companies after failing to comply with Securities and Exchange Commission orders for documents at the heart of a series of accounting fraud probes.
Ford Motor Co. used to flood Beau Boeckmann with more cars than he knew what to do with. Now, he's not getting enough.
General Motors Co. is offering buyers interest-free financing on some 2011 models after the company increased discounts and incentives to lead all major automakers' U.S. sales gains last month.
General Motors Co. stocked Jim Ellis Chevrolet in Atlanta with plenty of Silverado full-size pickups in early 2011, part of a wager on a strong economic recovery. The strategy is backfiring.
General Motors Co. is planning to sell its stake in Ally Financial Inc., the auto lender majority owned by U.S. taxpayers, according to a person with knowledge of the transaction.
General Motors Co. Chief Executive Officer Dan Akerson's compensation mix was changed in 2012 to accommodate the possibility he may retire before his long-term restricted stock vests in three years, the company said.
"Like any shareholder, it is their decision on when to sell their shares in our company."

Why I don't really love the Church (and why I think God's okay with it)
Before commenting, I'd like to request that people please review the policies – please refrain from giving me advice (the questions I ask here are meant to stimulate discussion, they are not me actually asking for people to give to me personally solutions), questioning my testimony, or challenging my faith. Any such attempts to do so will be moderated.
I was a junior in college when I first saw the movie The Incredibles. It was a Saturday afternoon, I'd had a really bad day when plans for a project feel through in the last minute, and I was in a foul mood. Wanting only to spend money on indulgence, I took a bus to the mall to see a movie. I picked The Incredibles – it was new, it was popular, and it got great reviews. What could I lose?
I did not like the movie. What was worse, I was in a packed theatre where every single person around me loved it. They were laughing and cheering and enjoying the experience with an exuberance to which I could not relate. It was the most painful movie watching experience I can remember. When I left the theatre that day, I no longer disliked The Incredibles – I hated it.
Gallup recently released a poll (link) which revealed that the most optimistic place in America is the Provo-Orem area, where I grew up. I've found it's released a lot of mixed feelings for me in response. I'm only a year and a half away from living there, and I feel my retrospective on that experience expanding. For instance, I'm only just beginning to realize how much I despised my stint at BYU – but since it wasn't all that different from my time growing up in Utah Valley, it didn't strike me as particularly unusual at the time. I think that growing up in Utah Valley knowing that so many people around me loved living there, made me hate it all the more.
I think it's human nature to, when in the minority in any situation, to want to conform to the majority, because being that one and only person singled out with a differing opinion can be a difficult situation. I know for myself, I've often told others that I do actually agree with the majority, and then tried to convince myself of that fact. Even when I knew deep down it wasn't true.
The difficulty of it also further comes because it's easy to take a contrary perspective as an invalidation. Which certainly wasn't my intent in much of these experiences. I don't think it's invalid for other people to love Utah Valley; just as I don't think it was invalid for all those other people in the theatre to love The Incredibles. But my differing still opinion needs to be acknowledged as legitimately equal and of worth.
Some of this occurs to me because I realized recently that for the first time that I can ever remember, I'm actually happy with my life. I attend a small, tight-knit branch of people I really like (including a couple like-minded liberals), I'm attending a graduate program with people I enjoy, and I actually feel like I'm doing well in school. And I'm no longer surrounded by hoards of people who define themselves first and foremost as Mormon, people who find validation in the fact that everyone around them does the same. I find interacting with people of a variety of faiths refreshing, with different (and oftentimes more relateable) perspectives. I talked to my work supervisor once about something similar to this subject, and I think she put it best: everyone needs to live in a culture that validates them. I was never really happy living in Utah Valley, not once in 26 years.
A few weeks ago, I attended a temple trip with my branch. We're enough in the middle of nowhere that it takes a 3 1/2 hour drive to get there, so it's an all-day event. I don't attend Endowment sessions (yes, I've been Endowed, and my agitation with that is an entirely different set of issues, one which I'm not interested in discussing here) and have always done Baptisms for the Dead. But while I was sitting by the font waiting to be called for confirmations, it occurred to me that I really don't like doing Baptisms, and I think I figured out the reasons why. First of all, I am not a morning person (and I subscribe to the belief that such a thing is biological) meaning that getting up at 6 am in the morning, and then driving for 3 to 4 hours (and then 3 to 4 hours to get home) always leaves me incredibly tired. And almost every time I've gone, I've ended up having a fight with someone, and usually over stupid things. I hate fighting with people – especially when I'm tired. But even more than that, I compulsively time manage. And sitting in a room with a dozen other people not knowing when I'm going to be called up for confirmations is near about torturous for me (that is only a slight exaggeration). I hate not knowing, and having no control over when I'm going to know. I'm the kind of person that wishes that we had enough of a system that it was more all laid out in advance, because I would do much better if I knew exactly how much time I was to be sitting there and waiting. I hated that when I showed up at 6 am to the Provo Temple and waited two hours in line while other people's friends showed up and cut in line, and I still hate it now. So because of that, I don't really feel spiritual doing it. And I feel like my attempting to change this would be tantamount to a dramatic alteration of my personality.
To attend this particular trip, I had to make a number of modifications to my life in the days preceding. My Saturdays are normally taken up grocery shopping, doing laundry, and the three to four hours it takes me to do my homework. And getting all of that done in the days prior, on top of all my regular priorities, as well as the fact that I fed the Sister Missionaries the night before the trip (something I did very happily, as I like the Sisters in my branch), on top of giving up the one day of the week I have to myself and when I can sleep in, made my week incredibly stressful. I'm not saying all this to say, oh look what a great person I am for making all these sacrifices (or go the opposite, to bemoan all that I had to give up). My point is to ask: isn't enough that I sacrifice and go willingly – do I really have to love the experience?
I have spent my entire life in the church, and I feel pretty confident it's where God wants me to be. But I am never going to love being in this church. Even if I put aside all my doctrinal issues, my feminism, my liberalism, how much I hate the Mormon culture, and all the clashes I've had with other members, my experiences at BYU in particular have made very clear to me one thing: with the church as is, I will never gain acceptance; because the institution and its people don't want me for who I am – they just want me for who they think I should be.
So can't I say that's enough? Do I really have to love it? If I show up every week with a good attitude and participate in my callings and keep myself temple-worthy, is loving it really necessary? If we start requiring love from its people, we move into dangerous territory. I've long held the belief that no utopia is applicable to everyone, because people are far too varied. And I resent the idea that a place with Mormon homogeny should be the ideal for everyone, especially everyone who's Mormon. I hated living in Utah, and I resent any implication that I should feel otherwise simply because it varies from the opinion of the majority. And where other Mormons see church as a safe haven from the world, I oftentimes feel it's the opposite.
It goes back to my experience when I first saw The Incredibles. While my dislike of the movie was enhanced by it being contrary to everyone around me, it didn't change the fundamental fact that I still disliked the movie, and that my opinion of it was every bit as valid as everyone who enjoyed it. It's hard to sit in church and hear people gush about how much they love the Mormon church, or talk about loving the temple. I don't in any way mean to imply that their feelings are invalid. But at the same time, my feelings still deserve equal legitimacy and worth.

Didn't grow up in the Utah Valley or go to BYU (because I knew I would hate it), but this fits my feelings otherwise. I do know other members who are happier now that they are out of Utah, so you are definitely not alone in that.
I keep going to church, but I know I will never fit in there. I do have a testimony of the basic things, so I keep going despite my many issues.
I hear ya. We moved from Utah/ Idaho when I was 11 to the eastern US. My father says it "saved his testimony".
I wish you would have explained the reasons you stay a little more. One thing I feel sure about: this life is about enjoying it – not just enduring it. If you don't love the Church, why continue? I ask this as someone who also is finding that the cons of the church out weigh the pros and that Maybe that's not changing anytime soon. Is God really ok with me slogging along, just making the best of it? Im starting to think not.
It is enough. You don't have to love it. In fact, you will get an extra cookie in heaven for doing your duty when you didn't feel like it.
The whole idea of enjoying life seems to be a uniquely modern thing. Most of life is about eating your brassicas and being OK with it–not enduring it or putting up with it, but just getting on with it. It strikes me that thinking life is meant to be enjoyed is almost as much a dead end as trying to "find yourself." It never works, because there is nothing to find and the more time you spending looking the less you actually do in life and your Vitamin D levels just get worse.
And yes, Utah Valley is both full of wonderful caring people surrounded by gorgeous mountains and also a complete hell hole.
Amen, sister. Holy cow. I've been there. My husband and I are counting down the days 'til we graduate from BYU and can get out of Utah (or at least out of Utah Valley). We are kicking ourselves that we didn't transfer when we got married. Stupid. Anyhow, everything you said in your post resonated with me, but this point especially stood out:
"with the church as is, I will never gain acceptance; because the institution and its people don't want me for who I am – they just want me for who they think I should be."
I feel this way exactly. I'm trying to re-program myself and allow myself to live my by own conscience. What's more difficult to deal with then the understanding that I will never be accepted as I am in the Church (in its current state), is the understanding that I might never be accepted as I am in my own family (with the exception of my husband–so I guess I shouldn't complain too much. It's just frustrating when I want to have a close relationship with my other family members).
This is an excellent post, and your honesty and candidness are refreshing. I personally feel very much the same way. Particularly today, I'm crabby about the church. And I ask myself why. Why stay with it? I haven't had some manifestation, or revelation, that the church is true (whatever that means). I don't have a "testimony", and not for lack of trying. So again, why. Why stay with it?
I'd love to hear your responses, if I may be so bold as to ask. I need a little encouragement, because I get very little out of church. The only compelling thing, is that it essentially my ethnicity. My primary faith language. Other than my heritage, and lack of viable alternatives, I'd like a reason to stay.
First off let me say that I am generally very skeptical of surveys that measure happiness. So much just doesn't add up. I remember sitting in a class almost 40 years ago with a well known pollster discussing polling and questions. He remarked how interesting it was that when asked about the use of birth control pills how often a woman would answer that she didn't use them but knew that her neighbor did.(Hard to imagine we are back in that debate again.) Anyway, my point is there is a lot of pressure in the church to be happy. So people will answer that they are happy. I know a lot of people who say they love the church but there actions seem to speak otherwise. They attend but they contribute in very minimal ways. They tell me how much they enjoy General Conference. Not because of conference but because they don't need to attend church.
Saying "I love the church" can be just another trite platitude. I haven't been to church in probably two years. Am I happier for it? There are some things I miss about it. But I am certainly more content than I was when I was more actively involved in the church.
There is so much to say about the topic and responses, but I don't have the place to say it right now. I'm just going to say:
I love Christ. Idolizing his "bride" is something God has counseled us against. I can't believe in a loving God who doesn't want us to be who we are, however that may appear, and therefore I don't think God is happy with an institution when it acts in direct opposition with that love. I believe God wants us to be happy, now. I don't believe that being/feeling happy and enduring yuck are mutually exclusive. I stay despite the yuck because I know I am happier when I follow my experience of God (which I gained through the Church, and retain at least through truth/doctrine if not culture).
Based upon your first paragraph I get the impression you on wish to practice that female trait of just talking about your feelings and don't seek to have any male-oriented solutions presented. Perhaps the moderation of comments needs to account for the differences in the male / female inclinations of how to tackle a problem.
For example, if the commenter is a male you can allow for a tidy summary of the issues, identification of the problem, and proposed solutions to solve it. If the commenter is a female, you can allow for a more supportive response which allows for expression of your feelings, talking about how appropriate the feelings are and, in conclusion, a bonding of spirits that strengthens the relationship between you and the commenter.
The question is, why are people motivated to do things (and why do they like/love things?)? That answer has changed drastically in the past five hundred – one hundred years.
Of course motivation is not always about return on investment, but it helps. Some things you do because they are the right thing to do, they feel right, etc. Volunteering in the community, for example. But I wouldn't say that I "love" the organizations that I volunteer for or that I support financially.
Many people decry the idea of cost/benefit analysis from volunteerism, life choices, etc, but I support this type of thinking. At some point, if you are not getting anything out of a job or activity or obligation, it's time to re-evaluate. And this answer will probably be different for everyone. Some people may stay in a job that they hate for various reasons (that I can't comprehend). Each person is responsible for their choices.
But in general, if an organization doesn't respect me personally, doesn't respect or appreciate my time or sacrifices, I do begin to seriously think about whether or not my involvement is worthwhile. Just because my great grandparents made certain choices doesn't mean I have to. Some people would call that selfish, and that's fine. For me, it means prioritizing my life, interests and family.
I'm wondering suppose you really hate Utah valley, but God wants you to live there.
Do you stay and be miserable,or move away so you might have joy?
I didn't mind living in Utah as an adult, but I had to leave to raise my kids for many of the reasons you state.
You might give The Incredibles another chance, though. . . . .
She can become a Catholic and then the suffering and misery will provide her strength and salvation (I was raised a Catholic so I know the philosophy well).
Just remember, the scripture states that "Men are that they might have joy." It says nothing about women and children.
The whole idea of enjoying life seems to be a uniquely modern thing. Most of life is about eating your brassicas and being OK with it–not enduring it or putting up with it, but just getting on with it. It strikes me that thinking life is meant to be enjoyed is almost as much a dead end as trying to "find yourself." It never works, because there is nothing to find and the more time you spending looking the less you actually do in life and your Vitamin D levels just get worse.
But O, participating in the Church is a choice. If it doesn't make one happy – Why do it? That's not to say that you have to love EVERYTHING – or always LOVE it, or never struggle with anything, but if the jury is out and you've concluded that being the Church is not at all enjoyable – what next??
If you become a Catholic you will also only have to spend 45 minutes in Mass each Sunday and nobody pries into your personal life. No callings either!
My time at BYU I used to go to the Catholic Mass at St. Francis's parish every so often.
You don't have to love the church — just the members.
I, too, am a life-long member, temple recommend holder and a true believer, but the church can and does drive me crazy at times. I found the years when I lived in Utah to be especially challenging. I am a BYU graduate, and while I am proud of that fact, I can still recall some of the blatant idiocies of that period. Ok, incredibly strict dress and grooming codes (women could not wear pants while bowling!); students spying on faculty and reporting to the then-president; and you could go on and on. But I learned a lot while I was there, nevertheless. Later, in Salt Lake Valley, I had a bishop who deviated from the approved questions in a temple recommend interview in a way that was wholly inappropriate. Ultimately, that was corrected. Do I resent being asked to make a list of people to have the missionary discussions? Yes, I do, and I'm a ward missionary. That's not the way I see sharing the Gospel. Speaking as an "mature" man, with a wife and five daughters, I say don't worry. Keep your testimony of the Gospel and worry about the church later. My wife's not a morning person, either. It is biological, I'm sure. And it's okay. I'm not judging, and I'm not offering advice, but be aware that depression affects your spiritual view of life. I know from experience. If that's an issue, deal with it like the illness it is (not a sin, for Pete's sake.)
[…] reasonable to steal from libraries, risks and consequences of leaving and of staying when you don't really like it (prepare to have your testimony questioned). Plus, some explanation of disbelief — and […]
The question I'm most interested in is, WHY did you hate The Incredibles? It's certainly a valid opinion, but it's a mystifying one.
I've heard that the best thing that ever came out of Utah Valley is I15. Just remember whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
The best thing about situations with a strong suck factor is that when they're over the sweetness is wonderful. That's how it was for me when I left Provo.
God didn't make everyone to be Mobots.
I'm sorry you've been pushed to love church and not just to participate, Amalthea. I find your willingness to participate even in the face of feeling so little acceptance admirable.
Oddly enough, I may be even more of a heretic than you are, but I find church participation much easier. Although, to be fair, I don't say much about my heresies at church.
I didn't like The Incredibles either. And was surprised to hear a good friend tell me all the reasons she liked it. I said, "Yeah, I can see why you'd like the movie for those reasons, but those reasons don't work for me."
Same thing happens with church – I can see why others find immense value in participating, but their reasons don't resonate with me.
And I think that's okay. If we all liked the same things for the same reasons, life would be dull and boring. But part of the fruits of diversity is that some of the fruits are on the ends of the branches. But we're still fruits, even when the birds peck at us and the wind blows hardest where we are – we get the best sun and rain and we have great views. I don't think the owner of the vineyard will toss us out because we're growing in a different place and may look a bit misshapen.
[…] Amalthea has had what is to me a very perplexing post at Zelophehad's Daughters: Why I don't really love the church (and why I think God's okay with it.) A snippet: I have spent my entire life in the church, and I feel pretty confident it's where God […]
I will never gain acceptance; because the institution and its people don't want me for who I am – they just want me for who they think I should be.
Well, for what it's worth, I think I'm one of its people, and I like you the way you are quite a bit.
Well said, LRC.
Thanks for all the responses! (I'm sorry I've been so slow to reply.)
SNielsen, you pose a very interesting question. I think my response would be to explain to God why I don't want to live in Utah Valley, and please, can I live somewhere else? If God still insisted that's where I should live, I would ask for an explanation why. (Think Nephi killing Laban.) And if God was still insistent, I would – reluctantly, but I would do it.
Bradley – hee! I laughed.
MB – thanks!
Ziff – we'll have to compare competing heresies some day.
Jack, I wish that was the case. While I've known plenty of good members in the Church, I've also known a number who are, in my interactions with them, terrible people. Terrible in the way they, for example, exploit their callings, believing that the persecution of my character is mandated by God simply because they, in their calling, are "called of God." In fact, the closest I ever came to leaving the Church was specifically because of its people.
Sara Bay – Heh, you got me. I've never actually liked any of the Pixar movies (though I thought Monsters Inc. was okay). I'm hyper-sensitive to the depiction of women in film and television, and what I felt to be stereotypes grated on my nerves. I also found it a tad predictable – though I'm willing to admit that also may just be my film-major-wannabe-writer acting the snob.
To everyone who also struggles with staying and asked why I do, the reason I do is this: because ultimately, I think it's where God wants me to be. And when I pull away all issues I struggle with (feminism, the definition of morality, etc.) I do think the gospel is true. Though I tend to differentiate that in my mind from "the Church" – partly because I feel like The Gospel is for everyone…but The Church (as is) is not. And as long as it's run by mortals, never will or can be.
I tend to discuss this sort of thing with trepidation because I've had so many experiences of people while I was growing up that were trying to draw this kind of thing out of me, simply so they could say, "I told you so!" as if my admission that the Gospel is true is somehow an invalidation of everything I struggle with and dislike in the Church. In fact, I feel like the "I told you so!" mentality is a big reason I don't tend to get along with more orthodox types. But that may very well be an entirely different discussion.

The Baobab Tree (Adansonia digitata) from the Family: Bombacaceae, is a traditional African tree whose seeds make an oil that is luscious and has a wonderful aroma. Called "The Tree of Life", this massive tree lives to be well over 100 years old - some sources saying 500 years - and grows wild in South Africa. The melon size fruit is collected when it falls to the ground. Our Baobab is coldpressed, unrefined and wildcrafted. The aroma is mild & nutty, and is a golden liquid.
Like Avocado oil, Baobab oil is highly penetrating, deeply nourishing and softens dry skin. It is known to restore and re-moisturize the epidermis.
Baobab is an extremely stable oil, and should be a golden yellow color. It has a shelf life of 4-5 years. Baobab oil provides a fairly good measure of unsaturated and saturated fats.

Manulife Financial's Management Hosts UBS Global Financial Services Conference (Transcript)
It shocks people that we expanded from Canada to Asia before we expanded from Canada to United States. I think we have the longest continuing history of operations of any international life insurer in Asia. We built a very solid foundation of the experience, a solid foundation of relationships throughout the region, which will enable us to continue to drive our growth going forward.
The second thing that surprises people when I tell them Manulife Asia's story is how big a part of Manulife we already are. There are a lot companies around the world who are pursuing international strategies in Asia and in many cases that's a promise for the future or it's a tiny 5% sleeve of their total operations. But as Peter said in his introduction of me and as you can see from the slide here, the Manulife Asia story is already being delivered today.
Over the last five years, we have moved our share of the Company's worldwide insurance sales from less than a fifth to half of the Company's worldwide insurance sales coming from Asia. On the bottom line, you see a very diversified picture there of earnings from around the world, but again a third of our bottom line is already coming from Asia. So this is not a story that is a promise for the future. This is a story that is already being delivered today.
Now as most of you know, Asia is not a homogenous market in the sense that the United States is – we operate in 11 countries in Asia and our approach has to vary market-by-market. But what this slide gives you is kind of a sense of some of the threads of strategy that weaved through our various operations in Asia.I think the first thing to highlight is the little circle in the middle there is that our approach to Asia is to manage as a Pan-Asian portfolio. Our approach, a little different from some countries, is we're consistent with our overall theme of diversification. We want exposure to both developed market and non-developed markets. We want exposure to Northern Asia, as well as Southeast Asia. So that is the essence of the strategy we're trying to pursue. There are really just kind of three elements of my strategy in Asia that cross all the countries. Read the rest of this transcript for free on seekingalpha.com

FreeStanding PegBoard Display for Tradeshow, Retail Display and Tool Storage
PegBoard X2™ FreeStanding Display is the next generation pegboard display system. Built with heavy duty metal construction, it will never rust, rot, corrode or degrade like traditional pegboard. And the peg hook holes will stay true for a lifetime. Each display is engineered to assemble and knock down in minutes. Some display are available with options to break down into very small footprints, as small as 24x36. All displays are made to order within 10 business days and we can also do Rush Orders.
I just want to say WOW! The PegBoard FreeStanding we ordered was perfect. We needed it in a hurry, placed the order on Monday and received the display on Good Friday. Currently the unit is holding a Bosch® tankless water heater and a Greenstar® wall hung gas boiler. We have received many compliments on the display from other plumbing and heating contractors. This was the perfect solution to our dilemma. Thanks again for the quick turnaround time and quality product. I would recommend this product to anyone.
Not sure which metal to get?

Prolific contributor to healthcare improvement Duke Rohe of MD Anderson Cancer Center provides his personal perspective on change in this paper delivered at a recent healthcare improvement conference.
In this presentation the authors provide a case study of the need to coordinate with departments outside of the ED to improve ED patient flow. Some of the results reported include eliminating 16 process steps for bed assignment, reducing admit order to patient orders by more than 50 percent and increasing the number of before noon discharges by more than 70 percent.

Lessons from turnover times - The importance of domain specific scientific knowledge
An appropriately common problem for management (industrial) engineers, analysts, etc., working with surgical suites is to reduce setup and cleanup times. A hospital may explicitly ask for the application of lean approaches to reduce their "operating room turnover times." However, much of the perceptions about turnover times turn out to be due to psychological biases.

Nice an clean a good deal for 80$!! And when you forget things in the fridge, they were kind and fast enough to go an get the items at a fast notice! I can't thank you enough. I will stay there again when in town if I can get the room for that price.
stuff is incompetent
The place was dirty. The beds were uncomfortable. I'm pretty sure it was a double bed and I was charged for 2 queen beds. The bathroom faucet never stopped running. Tile was broken from water damage from the bathtub. You can get more for your money right down the road at the Saharan Motel.
Spacious and Clean Rooms. Motel is on the main street and public transportation is fast. Lots of Thai restaurants and markets within walking distance. The rooms are very quiet and we did not hear a lot of noise during the night. Our room was right next to the main office.
- My main issue with this motel is that I secured the reservation online with my debit card on booking.com. The site says that my credit card is need because it will guarantee your booking. It also says no charge- only needed to reserve your room. Well, when I arrived at the motel and completed the check in form, the front desk lady said they did not accept debit cards after she charged my debit card. How crazy is that? If you do not accept debit cards, you should not have charged my debit card. If you do not accept debit cards, this should also be listed on booking.com. If you require only major credit cards, it needs to be listed on booking.com so that people will not be mislead. Needless to say, I had to pay twice for my room and now I have to wait 15 business days for a refund from my debit card company. So, this really left a bad taste in my mouth and I really could not enjoy myself the one night I was there. Also, all the rooms are non-smoking and I wish that would have been listed on the website.
Its clean and peaceful
No smoking.rooms
location, theme, price, quality, staff,
our reservation was cancelled and our room rented 30 minutes before we arrived. We were kindly placed in the south location but for double the price with a 5% mark up for using a credit card.
They've Racist Attitude & Behavior
The staff were really helpful.
The mattresses were covered in plastic which isn't very comfortable.
Everything, it was all great, of course in Hollywood there are freaks, but here we felt safe and nobody bothered us.
Everything was great, but donuts would've been awesome
No access to pool was very disapointing
It was my second time staying there. Room & restroom are clean, which is a plus...everything is good working condition. Staff is very friendly & polite, even other guests were polite
Parking area is small
Staff helpful and tried to explain changes made since my last stay.
The take aways, no lamps in rooms, breakfast bar removed only coffee and orange juice in 3oz cups available. Problems with using a credit card by staff.
I had a great time!
Bed bugs!!!!
Upon arrival the front desk staff was very nice and helpful .. The room was awesome and a great place to stay
Cheap, Spacious Room, Free Parking, Short Driving Distance to major Hollywood attractions...
Reception desk not knowledgable about customer concerns, utilities and pricing. We have asked to extend our stay by one night, but we have been charged extra even the room rates were cheaper for that day. We have had to check-out and check-in again even though the system could actually let this... Long walk to walk of fame, don't even bother it. The hotel is right inside of Thaitown, quite different culture than Hollywood...
Rooms were clean, good condition, restroom was immaculate...to be honest, I was expecting less because I'm not from the area and this was the lowest price that I could find on a budget.
I liked that the three beds are in one room, due to having 4 kids, and my mom with us, we were able to stay together. Most times we would have to be in different rooms seperating our family with is difficult considering i have young children as well as older children.
The parking is the only thing I did not like. I did find parking but it was so narrow and difficult to park.
Clean and well located, spacious room with everything inside.
Car park should be closed during nights as the area doesn't look very wealthy..
Friendly helpful staff Free parking Free ice machine Large rooms
Closed pool Noisy plumbing Can hear guests in room above stomping around like elephants
plastic bag around mattress is noisy and not comfortable. better use another system to protect the mattresses.
-Good Location( near bus station, near restaurants, a little bit far from the metro station) -Clean -Good WiFi - Fair place to stay in
- Staff were a little bit tough ( but at the end were good enough) -No save in the room to put my documents -A little bit noisy due to the traffic on the road
Location was excellent. Free Parking. Spacious room
If you have a room on the on first floor prepare for the squeaks of the guests on the second floor. Walls are thin and was able hear the kids early in the morning running around. So I suggest getting a room on the second floor if possible.
Great stuff, polite and ready to help, clean and spacious rooms, safe place and calm at nights.. I absolutely adored my stay in this hotel and want to come back.
Good location, safe and pretty quiet.
No pool access even though it was full of water and looked inviting.

Let's talk about pink eye. I'm Dr. Alan Greene. Pink eye is a very common problem especially among children. And first off, yes it is contagious - very contagious. Whenever they touch their eyes, and it is common to rub eyes when you have pink eye, the hands are then infected and contagious. Then they touch other objects. They touch your hands. You have an infected hand and you touch your own nose or mouth or eye and you can get pink eye that way. So the best way to break that chain of infection is frequent hand washing spread by the hands.
Now, often schools will recommend that kids have some kind of eye drops and antibiotic eye drops before they go back to school. This is often done. Most pink eye in general pink eye is defined as viral conjunctivitis. It's a virus where the antibiotics don't make a big difference. But if you do need to give eye drops for whatever reason for the eye, let me talk about how to get them in because with children, it can be kind of tough. And the best thing is you get them to lie down on their back, and when they're lying on their back, it's okay if they close their eyes or open their eyes - don't worry about trying to hold the eyes open. But just put 3, 4, or 5 drops right in the corner of the eye while they're lying flat and then when they do blink, their eyes open it will slip right in there. Take care of it that way. But be sure and wash your hands afterwards.

The Mentalist Review: Cho Smiles!by Christine Orlando at . Comments
Kimball Cho has always been a fascinating character and one of my favorites on The Mentalist. My general complaint has been that we don't get to see enough of him, which is why "Rhapsody in Red" made me so happy.
For once Cho, with his dead pan delivery and stoic looks, got his chance to shine.
When Anthony picked Cho's keys and jacked his ride, it should have shaken that cool demeanor. Even with Jane calling him Starsky and offering him a ride, Cho's self control was firmly in place.
He never seemed angry with the kid, even when he had to handcuff him to the file cabinet because he reminded him to much of his younger self.
Can you just imagine what a smart mouthed, little gang banger Cho must of been? That picture is the exact opposite of the imperturbable man we know now.I appreciated the scene when Cho went head to head with the DA's office. ("I agreed I shouldn't help. Didn't say I wouldn't.") Yet the look on his face told us he was worried about the fallout for the CBI. It was a great moment of doubt that played over his face, but his conscience obviously wouldn't let him walk away from that child without trying to help.
The case of the week didn't really hold my interest, although I liked the music almost as much as Jane. When Jane played on the drums it was such a little boy moment. I enjoyed seeing Jane's mischievous side just having a bit of fun.
And I loved it when Teresa immediately knew Jane had started the rumor about the victim having a scandalous affair. She knows him so well now that she didn't miss a beat.
All in all this was a light hearted episode to hold us over before next week's season finale. A Red John confrontation awaits. I can't wait.

i have faithfully watched this show forever. i am so tired of re-runs, come on please get some new shows on.
Sorry youstolemeaway. I will apologize if I offended you, because it was not my intention. I see that you love Robin Tunney. Robin seems like a wonderful actress and an intelligent person.
My complaint was not against her or her character. My complaint was against your complaint saying that There Was Not Enough Lisbon in the show. And I think there is enough. And yes, I still say that Lisbon is, 80% of the time, the counterweight to Jane. And as a character, Lisbon is only fun as a counterpoint to Jane. For the vast majority of viewers, not the minority fans involved in forums and follow the characters, What makes the series different, fun and entertaining is Jane and historical interaction with the rest of the team. I speak of the public. That audience is one that allows the series is not canceled.
And it is true that two people watching the same show, they may be seeing different things, because I think Lisbon always acts like a nagging mother, and if my mother will laugh at my feelings and my creative side and paecerÃa me crazy "cruel" . In this type of "cruelty" I meant. That crazy part is the best character. That "cruelty" is showing great chemistry between between them, one of the best things about this show.
It is true that she protects him, but in the same way as the rest of his team, except that Jane is helpless: He isn't cop and the reasons why working in the CBI are traumatic. On the other hand, Lisbon is smart and independent of their bosses and his career has not only risky to defend Jane, has also risky to defend their own discretion, as in the episode in which she is suspended for criticizing LaRoche. Well, do not forget that Lisbon and Jane are only characters, not people.
Again sorry for my bad English
Lnsy, the show could never continue without Lisbon. I don't think you have understand that this character isn't only written to be Jane's boss but also a good friend and will most likely be the reason why Jane won't kill Red John or why Jane won't get charged if he killed Red John.
She's much more important than people think she is. If she died Jane would't be able to manage it I am sure. She's too important to him. Also you are wrong about Lisbon being a secondary character. Robin Tunney is written as the female lead NOT as a secondary character. That would be Cho, Rigsby and Van Pelt. I'm sure the show hasn't 60 million viwers around the world because of Lisbon but I'm also show it hasn't these amount of viewers because of Jane. It's the dynamic that makes it so great.
Also read carefully. No one here doesn't like jane but you must accept that people criticise him as much as you criticise Lisbon for example. No one said the show is about "Lisbon and friends" either. Please read before you make assumptions like this. And please respect that there are people who are more fans of Lisbon or Cho than Jane. That doesn't mena they hate Jane tho.
Yeah wow this is just so typical. "If you don't like jane go watch another show" blabla. I never said I didn't like him but it's obvious to me that the show wouldn't do as good if the team wasn't there as well. Too bad so many people just don't get how many others watch for the dynamic of the characters and NOT for Simon Baker.
You should read my posts more carfully before attacking me.
Why did the writers write the team in when they never intend to devlop them? The show could very well be just about Jane solving crimes ALONE. But no they wrote in a team, so they should also use it. @Lnsy Yeah and some normal viewers are very biased and don't do Jane or the show any favor too. The way you talk about Lisbon just totally confirms you have no idea what your talking about and how essential she is to the show and the character of Jane. You think she's cruel to jane? Really? Have you followed the same show as me? have you seen what she has done for him? Risking her career a couple of times, stikcing out her neck for him, taking all his shit? And he never gives anything back.He ows her BIG time.
You also say you don't read other forum so why making an assumption that's just not true? Just because I post my opinion here you make silly statement like "Lisbon fans are so biased". That what I would call BIASED my dear. I stand by my opinion for more Lisbon next season. I hope the writers give her a love interest.
Yeah if you don't like Jane go watch some other show. It's his show and he can be as goofy or stoic as he wants. That said, every god damned character on this show is awesome. Not one of them feels out of place and not one of them feels forced. That said, Jane -is- the focus of the show. He'll always be there. With his smile. Just because he can.
I would not see the show if not for Jane. I recall that the show is called The Mentalist, he is the protagonist, Lisbon is a secondary character, if she died as a character, you do not desire, the show would continue without her. The show may have more than 60 million viewers around the world and it isn't because of Lisbon (the show is not about Lisbon and friends). I irrated me that fans who write about Lisbon, always criticize Jane, if you do not like to see him leave the show. This show has a protagonist and his name is Patrick Jane. If you'll notice, Lisbon's personality is created to be a counterweight to Jane.
I think Lisbon is irrelevant. She is a bossy with Jane, but she leaves him qu resolve the cases. She has no sense of humor and sometimes she is cruel to him. But this is television.
If I had to choose I would stay with the first season where she had less prominence and there was more interaction between Jane and the rest of the team.
I never write in forums I am a normal viewer, but some followers of Lisbon-Tunney are very biased and they do not do her any favors. Sorry for my English.
Cho is awesome, there is so much depth to his character that we are drip fed, every so often we are treated to little Cho moments. Jane is starting to annoy me a little and Lisbon doesn't get the screen time she deserves.
Cho is laconic but he was very good with the boy. He is a wonderful character and it is always a pleasure when the focus is on him. I was rather disappointed with Jane in this episode. A little too much self-indulgence which undercuts his charm.
Cho FTW!
Cho was great but I want more Lisbon! My highlight always is Robin Tunney as Lisbon and there was just not enough in this episode. But is it just me or does she get prettier with every episode? What I found a bit disappointing was that they missed the opportunity to give us at least a little more character information on her when it was so easy. Remember Season 2 when Jane tried to guess which instrument she played in highschool? I thought it would have been perfect to tell us the secret if it had been her playing the instrument by the end. But no it was once again Jane, cause obviously we are meant to believe he can just to EVERYTHING.
He's the lead that's clear but if it wasn't for Lisbon I wouldn't watch. So please writers a bit more focus and her next season! Robin is a great actress and deserves it.
