The RFP Game
by Jane Ottenberg
A Fed Ex arrives on your desk with an RFP from Ford. You: a) jump for joy and immediately set up a meeting with your staff on how to wow them; or b) throw it away.
For an ad buy, most of us would jump at least a little since it signals some interest on Ford's part to advertise. RFPs are part of the number-crunching game of today's media buyers. If, on the other hand, the RFP is for a custom publishing project, keep the trash can in the vicinity. There are road blocks to winning the work, particularly if you don't know the potential client.
Here's why:
First, in many cases, the RFP is sent out already with a front-runner. One of your competitors is likely already working with the client. Custom publishing is a relationship-oriented service business so if the decision makers already know and like a competitor, it's usually an uphill battle.
Second, in custom publishing, there is only one winner. You could get to the finals and almost win. But that's not enough. You either win, or you lose. So there's a lot on the line if you aren't in control of the process.
Third, it's hard to get an apples to apples comparison of services and pricing. This is usually a qualitative decision based on the type of services you propose. One competitor might have an internal staff, another might use freelancers. Someone could propose a $50,000 art budget, while another says a $5,000 art budget is all that's needed. Typically, the client chooses the firm that it thinks will ultimately bring the best results within a comfortable budget range.
Finally, some RFPs require a tremendous amount of resources and spec work, which is fine as long as you're seriously considered.
An RFP Reality Check
You can tell I'm a bit skeptical about RFPs. Yet with the right up front information and some control over the process, RFPs can be a great opportunity to win new business. Michael Hurley, president of Hanley Wood Custom Publishing, says, "I actually like RFPs. The key, of course, is how to respond."
So, when your sales team gets fired up over that unsolicited RFP, it's time for a reality check. Here's what to do and consider when you get a custom publishing RFP with no prior relationship with the company sponsoring the project:
1) Build an inside relationship. If the contact person gives you the cold shoulder, then toss it. It's not real. If the sponsoring company truly is interested in you, that contact can be your best coach or can connect you to someone who is part of the decision.
2) Get information. Meet with the decision-makers before agreeing to do the RFP—or at least get a conference call. They will answer most of your questions and you'll get a leg up.
3) Get up-front promises from decision-makers. The RFP process should be give and take—not just give. If the company wants you to respond, your contacts will give you guidance throughout the decision-making process.
4) After you get all the information you can, make a gut decision. Don't spend days laboring over your proposal if you don't like what you've heard in the process. It's time to be real. If you think you've got a shot, go for it.
5) Respond in a big way. Your proposal should mirror the RFP questions, yet demonstrate your creativity and enthusiasm for the project.
6) Beat your chest. But even more, show you understand the sponsoring company and know how to effectively extend the brand. Put some jazz into it.
Michael Hurley's key is to "research as much as you can about the prospective client's business and corporate culture. It may give you an understanding about the tone and structure of your response."
That response, adds Hurley, should focus on the client. "Be direct. Be accurate. Be graphic. Always draw a connection to the client's business, objectives, and requested responsibilities. Try to engage those reviewing the RFP by telling a story. You want them to realize this is the shop I want and these people sound like the business partners that would support our efforts."
Bottom line: RFPs are not for the faint hearted. Go for it if you get good information throughout the process, particularly if you conclude it's a level playing field. Otherwise, use the paper shredder and move on.
Jane Ottenberg is president of The Magazine Group, a custom publishing firm headquartered in Washington, D.C. She is on the board of the Custom Publishing Council.

London is chock full of historic buildings, so it's no surprise that this gorgeously carved out home is a part of the classic London St.Pancras. The mix of media happens to be the old and the new, with the traditional and contemporary finishes and fixtures as imagined by TG Studio.
The sprawling lower level is simple and chic with grouped seating areas throughout and dashes of orange color added for some flair. Large gothic cathedral style cutout windows and reclaimed timber beams add depth and dimension to an otherwise run-of-the-mill loft. The upper mezzanine offers up views out into the city streets as well as down below to the rest of the urban abode.

The state's Cordell Hull office building seems to be in better shape than previously thought. Even so, new estimates say it could cost as much as $76 million to repair and keep using it and a neighboring structure. That's almost twice the initial figures that lead Governor Bill Haslam to ok plans for demolishing both structures.
The first study was questioned because the real estate firm that conducted it stood to benefit from closing the buildings. It, and earlier evaluations of the structure, painted a picture of deferred maintenance and shoddy construction.
This time, an architectural firm did the examination. It found that a portion of the roof on the Cordell Hull needs replacing, as do the drainage structures around the foundation. But much of the work it calls for is about modernizing the sixty-year old building and bringing it up to current codes, like increasing the load-bearing capacity in elevator lobbies and removing asbestos-laden floor tiles.
The nearby Central Services building does not fare as well. It has more significant structural problems throughout, including a failing roof that must be entirely replaced.
The report specifies that the total price tag is a worst-case scenario. It includes a 20% contingency to cover any unforeseen problems. Additionally, it details roughly $18 million worth of work that might not be necessary.
For example, the firm could not determine the condition of the anchors holding the stone veneer in place on the Cordell Hull's building's exterior. In an attempt to be thorough, the estimate includes the cost of the complicated repairs that could be necessary if further imaging shows that the anchors are, indeed failing. At the same time, it points out that the tell-tale signs of damage are missing, seeming to indicate that it's unlikely that $6 million dollar job will be needed.

Statement by Mr. Ivo Sramek, Deputy Permanent Representative of the Czech Republic to the United Nations at the Security Council Debate on Children and Armed Conflict
New York, June 29, 1998
Statement by Mr. Ivo Sramek, Deputy Permanent
Representative of the Czech Republic to the United Nations at the
Security Council Debate on Children and Armed Conflict
Mr. President,
the Czech Republic welcomes this open Security Council debate on Children and Armed Conflicts, which in our opinion clearly shows that protection of children affected by war is now very high on the agenda of international community. This is certainly most appropriate, in view of the gravity of problems involved. We are grateful to the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children in Armed Conflicts, Ambassador Olara Otunnu, for his thought provoking statement. His ideas indeed deserve most careful consideration. The Czech Republic has welcome amb. Otunnu´s appointment as special representative and we gladly renew our pledge of support for his admirable and efficient efforts in furthering the cause of protecting children affected by armed conflicts. We note with satisfaction and appreciation that Amb. Otunnu´s voice has already proven to be a very audible and influential one and has contributed greatly to ensuring that the plight of children exposed to war be more vigorously addressed by the international community.
Mr. President,
the Czech Republic has aligned itself with the EU statement delivered this morning and it therefore goes without saying that it fully subscribes to its contents. I would however like to elaborate a bit and present additional views of my delegation on one specific aspect of the issue of children in armed conflicts.
The Convention on the Rights of the Child protects children, it means persons bellow the age of eighteen years, in a wide variety of situations. But paradoxically, it also contains the apparently nonsensical clause according to which the age limit for entitlement to such protection is lowered to fifteen years in case a child takes part in armed conflict, that is in a situation which typically leads to endangering and to violation of the rights of the child. Regrettably, the fact that the international community has been so far unable to set a higher standard is merely a reflection of the current state of affairs - estimates indicate that 250 000 children below the age of eighteen years take part in the more that thirty armed conflicts around the world. Under the information of UNICEF, children represent 40 per cent of all victims of armed conflicts around the world.
The Working Group of the Commission on Human Rights on a draft optional protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on involvement of children in armed conflicts has so far, after four sessions, failed to reach consensus on the text and, more importantly, on crusial issues such as the age limit for participation in armed conflicts.
We are convinced that potencial decision to set this age limit anywhere below eighteen years would discredit the fair intentions and efforts of the United Nations to protect effectively the rights of the child. We believe that those few governments which have difficulties with the text of the draft protocol will review their position so that theprotocol could be finalized as soon as possible.
The Czech Republic is now experiencing a far-reaching legislative changes and therefore we fully understand how difficult is to overhaul domestic legislation and, namely, to introduce the new rules into practice. However, we cannot accept the tendencies to adjust international standards to the domestic law of any state. On the contrary, international standards must be taken as a model for adjustment of both the domestic law and the practice.
The Czech Republic will actively promote the creation of an
international standard which will become the springboard to
changing the international practice. To this end we will support
the effort of the newly created coalition of the major
international NGOs against the use of child soldiers. The
implementation of the new standard will require a comprehensive,
long-term effort. However, we wish to reiterate the decision of the
Economic and Social Council 1997/281 and hope that the text of the
Protocol will be approved during next year.

Definitions for saffronˈsæf rən
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word saffron
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
saf•fronˈsæf rən(n.)
a crocus, Crocus sativus, having showy purple flowers.
Category: Plants
an orange-colored condiment consisting of its dried stigmas, used to color and flavor foods.
Category: Cooking
Origin of saffron:
1150–1200; ME saffran, saffron < OF safran < ML saffrānum < Ar za'farān
Princeton's WordNet
saffron, saffron crocus, Crocus sativus(noun)
Old World crocus having purple or white flowers with aromatic pungent orange stigmas used in flavoring food
dried pungent stigmas of the Old World saffron crocus
orange yellow, saffron(noun)
a shade of yellow tinged with orange
The saffron crocus plant, Crocus sativus.
A seasoning made from the stigma of the saffron plant.
A dye made from the stigma of the saffron plant.
Having a orange-yellow colour.
; a rare flower name from the saffron.
Webster Dictionary
a bulbous iridaceous plant (Crocus sativus) having blue flowers with large yellow stigmas. See Crocus
the aromatic, pungent, dried stigmas, usually with part of the stile, of the Crocus sativus. Saffron is used in cookery, and in coloring confectionery, liquors, varnishes, etc., and was formerly much used in medicine
an orange or deep yellow color, like that of the stigmas of the Crocus sativus
having the color of the stigmas of saffron flowers; deep orange-yellow; as, a saffron face; a saffron streamer
to give color and flavor to, as by means of saffron; to spice
Saffron is a spice derived from the flower of Crocus sativus, commonly known as the saffron crocus. Crocus is a genus in the family Iridaceae. Each saffron crocus grows to 20–30 cm and bears up to four flowers, each with three vivid crimson stigmas, which are each the distal end of a carpel. Together with the styles, or stalks that connect the stigmas to their host plant, the dried stigmas are used mainly in various cuisines as a seasoning and colouring agent. Saffron, long among the world's most costly spices by weight, is native to Greece or Southwest Asia and was first cultivated in Greece. As a genetically monomorphic clone, it was slowly propagated throughout much of Eurasia and was later brought to parts of North Africa, North America, and Oceania. The saffron crocus, unknown in the wild, likely descends from Crocus cartwrightianus, which originated in Crete; C. thomasii and C. pallasii are other possible precursors. The saffron crocus is a triploid that is "self-incompatible" and male sterile; it undergoes aberrant meiosis and is hence incapable of independent sexual reproduction—all propagation is by vegetative multiplication via manual "divide-and-set" of a starter clone or by interspecific hybridisation. If C. sativus is a mutant form of C. cartwrightianus, then it may have emerged via plant breeding, which would have selected for elongated stigmas, in late Bronze-Age Crete.

At least four people have been killed in fighting in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), raising the death toll to seven since clashes between M23 rebels and government forces backed by UN troops started several days ago, witnesses say.
A Reuters witness saw four bodies - a woman and three children - and a resident of Ndosho named Charles Paluku quoted by the AFP news agency said a shell had landed in the area.
The victims of Saturday's fighting were killed by shells fired by M23 rebels, the UN said, as DRC and neighbouring Rwanda traded accusations over days of border fighting.
Three UN peacekeepers were wounded by shells that landed near their positions, the UN said, charging that its troops had been targeted by the rebels.
Much of the fighting has concentrated in and around Goma, a key city in North Kivu province.
Mary Robinson, the UN envoy to the African Great Lakes region, condemned the violence, saying in a statement: "The attacks on the town of Goma as well as on MONUSCO forces, and their tragic consequences on the civilian population already traumatised by two decades of conflict, are unacceptable."
"We must do everything to avoid an escalation of tension in the region," she said.
First military action
A UN brigade with troops from Malawi, South Africa and Tanzania saw its first military action on Thursday, firing artillery at the rebels. The brigade was set up by the Security Council in March to help neutralise armed groups in eastern DR Congo.Artillery fire has hit both sides of the border this week, sparking acusations and counter-accusations by both DR Congo and Rwanda.
Rwandan officials said five mortar bombs had fallen on Rwandan villages on Friday, following a rocket the previous day, and blamed Congo's army.
Rwanda twice invaded its much larger neighbour in the 1990s and sponsored Congolese rebels trying to topple the Kinshasa government.
Millions have died since then in Congo's eastern borderlands, a patchwork of rebel and militia fiefdoms rich in tin as well as tungsten and coltan ores.UN investigators have accused Rwanda of backing M23, an accusation the Rwandan government has repeatedly rejected.
The M23 rebels briefly seized Goma last year and only pulled out following a regionally brokered deal under which they were supposed to remain several miles outside the city.
Fighting has erupted periodicallyy since mid-July, ending a two-month lull in the violence, and the rebels moved closer to Goma, arguing that Kinshasa was reneging on its pledge to hold direct talks.

Tons of stuff left (tried a new Savers I'd never been in). A nice BB makers tie (just too beat up), VV shirt, CT shirt (mangled french cuffs), Armani Collezoni, Hickey Freeman. They love marking stuff up at Savers. Also left a NWT Ike Behar shirt in my size. First NWT item from a decent maker I've seen.
Anyone know anything about belt flipping? Passed on a Florsheim belt and a BB belt, both made in Italy, but I've never flipped a belt before. Also left this properly weird Burma Bibas shirt (looks like a very old label). Smoked MOP buttons, grey/black color, and was like 60% polyester, 40% rayon. Really odd. Good pass?

Should really go in the Ebay Questions, Tips & Tricks thread, BUT.... it's like everything. How much did you pay, how much do you want to make and how much is the item worth. If it was a $2 BB belt you cant "lose money" on it and how much do BB belts flip for...look on ebay, but I've had luck selling nice Coach Canvas/Leather Belt and a Vineyard Vines Fish Belt both for $29 along with this Dunhill belt for $60 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130788376378

Before the thread blows up....a 'rare' Brioni to compliment my 'rare' Brioni from yesterday. This one is actually growing on me the more I look at the pictures.
Again....what would you call this pattern? Right now I have "Dashed Stripe" or would "Salt & Pepper" be better?

Thanks, hucklecat, that was my first guess, too, but what about that chain inside? It looks like the hook is to hang decoratively onto maybe a button or button-hole, but the way it's constructed I don't see how it would display well. If that is the case, though, it's probably damn old, since it's been a while since people wore snuff-boxes as sartorial ornamentation. I don't think it's from the 18th century, however, because the black stuff on the inside is a solid piece of foam (maybe inserted later, anachronistically to keep the chain from scratching the box? No scratch marks visible under the foam, though. ). Definitely interesting. I've become obsessed with figuring out what it is.
Anybody know what the hell this is? Looks like gold fill, but aside from that, no clue. This is about the size of a small matchbox or lighter. This is not available until I figure out what on Earth this is, but might be afterward.Details: (Click to show)

Holy christ, Brianpore, that is so magnificent. Can just imagine that wonderful mohair levity. I would say to send it my way if it doesn't fit, but that's way out of my price range... Maybe the tux I found that almost worked out was the final straw to push you over the edge? I'd like to think so, if that beauty is what resulted.

What? Please don't, those are nice! They're so close to my size; if they would fit better, I'd definitely take them off your hands for you. No need to trash nice boots in good shape.

Haha, I like how in the photo they show this is to be used for IT band release. Ouch! Maybe it's because I'm skinny, but those rumbles look a little too big for that. Then again, I'm also wishing my foam roller were more effective...

The first auction event will be held on November 21 – 22, 2014 in Fredericksburg, Virginia. It will feature a large number of fine collectibles such as the formal award document for the Oak Leaves to the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross conferred on December 31, 1941 upon German U-Boat Commander Kapitänleutnant Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock, the legendary Commander of "U-96" who became immortal through the well known movie, Das Boot, by Wolfgang Petersen. This is arguably one of the finest Oak Leaves Documents that has ever been offered for auction.
Other highlights from the Third Reich period are a truly magnificent Combined Pilot Observer Badge in Diamonds awarded by Hermann Göring (one of the few originals), and one of the finest SA-High Leader Daggers known to exist in private hands.
Next to a wide variety of WWII and Third Reich collectibles, medals, daggers, and historical and military antiques from many countries and periods, the Fred Rockwood collection of Imperial German Orders and Medals will be another highlight of this ground-breaking first auction.
In addition, one of the top items of this sale will be an original 1813 Grand Cross to the Iron Cross, arguably one of the most important pre-1918 German Medals, offered from a highly important German Collection. Also included in this first auction will be an illustrious and extensively-documented grouping of the WWI German Tank Battle Badge (Kampfwagenabzeichen) with award documents to Feldwebel Karl Eggert (1. Komp. Kraftfahr-Abteilung 3, Schwere Kampfwagen-Abt. 1).
Although this new company is completely independent from Auktionshaus Andreas Thies Germany (which will continue its widely recognized prestigious High End Sales of Orders, Medals and Militaria in Germany), this new US-based auction house will cooperate closely with both Auktionshaus Andreas Thies and Johnson Reference Books & Militaria. This transatlantic alliance will provide a whole new range of services and possibilities to both buyers and consignors.
The combined expertise and integrity of Andreas Thies, with his 30 years of experience in the auction business and his unprecedented knowledge of Orders and Medals; LTC (ret.)Tom Johnson, who has been one of the world's leading authorities on WWII German daggers for the past 50 years and the author of some of the definitive reference books on the subject; and COL (ret.) Michael Everett, as a renowned expert in WWII German Medals and Militaria, will guarantee to collectors what we have chosen to be the motto of our business:
We will be happy to accept consignments until early August should you wish to have some quality single items or collections included in this sale. As of now, auctions will be scheduled for twice a year in spring and autumn.
Our experts will be happy to meet you at the following shows: Freising (June 12-14), OMSA Convention in Irvine, CA (August 14-17), Reichershofen (September 18-20), the MAX Show (October 2-4) and Gunzenhausen (October 9-11) as well as Kassel (November 26-30).

Bloody or tarry stools
Bloody or tarry stools
DefinitionBloody stools often are a sign or a problem in the digestive tract. Blood in the stool may come from anywhere along your digestive tract from your mouth to your anus.
Alternative Names
Stools - bloody; Hematochezia; Melena; Stools - black or tarry
Heavy or rapid bleeding in the upper GI tract can cause bright red stools.
Eating black licorice, lead, iron pills, bismuth medicines like Pepto-Bismol, or blueberries can also cause black stools. Beets and tomatoes can sometimes make stools appear reddish. In these cases, your doctor can test the stool with a chemical to rule out the presence of blood.
Bleeding in the esophagus or stomach (such as with peptic ulcer disease) can also cause you to vomit blood.
Common Causes
Bleeding that takes place in the esophagus, stomach, or the first part of the small intestine most often causes the stool to appear black or tarry. Your doctor may use the term "melena."
Bleeding in the upper part of the GI tract will usually cause black stools due to:
- Abnormal blood vessels
- A tear in the esophagus from violent vomiting (Mallory-Weiss tear)
- Bleeding ulcer in the stomach
- When blood supply is cut off to part of the intestines
- Inflammation of the stomach lining (gastritis)
- Trauma or foreign body
- Widened, overgrown veins (called varices) in the esophagus and stomach
Maroon-colored stools or bright red blood often men that the blood is coming from the small or large bowel, rectum, or anus. The term "hematochezia" is used to describe this finding.
- Abnormal blood vessels
- Anal fissures
- When blood supply is cut off to part of the intestines, called Bowel inschemia
- Polyps or cancer in the colon or small intestine
- Diverticulosis (abnormal pouches in the colon)
- Hemorrhoids (common cause of bright red blood)
- Inflammatory bowel disease (such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis)
- Infection in the intestines
- Trauma or foreign body
Call your health care provider if
Call your doctor right away if you notice blood or changes in the color of your stool. You should be examined by your doctor even if you think that hemorrhoids are causing the blood in your stool.
In children, a small amount of blood in the stool is usually not serious. The most common cause is constipation. You should still tell your child's doctor if you notice this problem.
What to expect at your health care provider's office
Your doctor will take a medical history and perform a physical exam that focuses on your abdomen and rectum.
You may be asked the following questions:
- Are you taking blood thinners (aspirin, warfarin, clopidogrel, Aggrenox) or NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen)?
- Have you had any trauma to the abdomen or rectum?
- Have you swallowed a foreign object accidentally?
- Have you eaten black licorice, lead, Pepto-Bismol, or blueberries?
- Have you had more than one episode of blood in your stool? Is every stool this way?
- Have you lost any weight recently?
- Is there blood on the toilet paper only?
- What color is the stool?
- When did the problem develop?
- What other symptoms are present (such as abdominal pain, vomiting blood, bloating, excessive gas, diarrhea, or fever?)
You may need to have one or more tests to look for the cause:
- Angiography
- Barium studies
- Bleeding scan (nuclear medicine)
- Blood studies, including a complete blood count ( CBC) and differential, serum chemistries, clotting studies
- Colonoscopy
- Esophagogastroduodenoscopy or EGD
- Stool culture
- Tests for the presence of Helicobacter pylori infection

Two-time Academy Award winner Hilary Swank, 30, was ordered March 30 to pony up $163 (including $21 in extra fees) after a New Zealand court rejected her appeal of the $142 fine she received for failing to declare fruit (one apple and one orange) that she was carrying upon arrival Jan. 15 at Auckland International Airport. Swank's rep says, ''Hilary is of course going to pay the fine and promises to finish her fruit on the plane next time.''. . .On March 9, an L.A. judge ordered Death Row Records exec Marion ''Suge'' Knight, 39, and his company to fork over $107 million to former producer/ manager Lydia Harris, 42, who alleged in a 2002 suit that she was shut out of the gangsta-rap label she cofounded with Knight back in 1989.

Girls basketball: Rensselaer overwhelmed in regional semifinal loss to Benton Central
BY TOMMY WILLIAMS Post Tribune correspodent February 16, 2013 11:18PM
Updated: March 18, 2013 7:13AM
RENSSELAER — With the Class 3A regional semifinal game no longer in doubt and the best season Rensselaer has had in seven years all but over, there was a look of resignation.
Running into a buzz saw can do that to a team. It was all too familiar to the Bombers, who lost to this same Benton Central team by 42 points in early December.
The Bisons began the game with a 24-2 run and never looked back in a 64-28 win, ending the Bombers' chances of winning their first regional championship.
"Obviously we did not get off to the start we wanted to but my kids battled," Rensselaer coach Jeff Marlow said. "We played hard all the way to the end but we didn't shoot the ball that well."
Benton Central (21-3) didn't have that problem, especially from long distance. The Bisons hit 14 3-pointers in the game with four of them coming in the first quarter, when they went on their game-clinching run. Cassidy Deno had seven of those treys and a game-high 23 points.
"Cassidy and (Benton Central backcourt mate Caitlyn) Laura Tolen are all-stars in my book," Marlow said. "And they played like it today."
Rensselaer's Laura Tooner is no slouch, either, and Benton Central knew that. The Bisons keyed on her the entire game, not allowing her to burn them early with her trademark 3-point shots.
Still, the senior scored 15 points with three 3-pointers in her final game with the Bombers, who were a surprise entry into the regionals after upset wins over Kankakee Valley and Hanover Central last week.
"We played our best and we gave it our all and that's all I can ask for," Tonner said. "I'm glad to be a part of this team no matter what. I'm just glad we won sectionals."
Coming back next season for Rensselaer (16-8) is feisty 6-foot sophomore Emilie Ziese, who finished with seven points.
Deno finished with five 3-pointers for the Bisons and 13 points while Tessa Brouillette would also add 13.

If you've ever flown to Canada or within, you know that fares are usually pretty high – even for relatively short flights. In fact, I often recommend using miles for Canadian flights since they are usually the same as domestic US roundtrips, but cost more to buy so the value of each mile is higher (for example Canada redemptions are great with Avios points and even Aeroplan has reduced priced 15,000 mile awards for certain short-haul flights).
However, if you have any trips within or to Canada coming up before April 30, 2012 you might want to check to see if your flight is eligible for Air Canada's 50% off sale on select routes. They are matching Porter's sale, which gives 50% off base fares when you use code BOX50. WestJet is also matching!
Key details:
- Valid on Tango fares (within Canada) or Tango Plus (US Destinations).
- For travel until April 30, 2012.
- Book by January 6, 2012 midnight, from your city of departure.
For flights within Canada, the following cities are eligible:
- Halifax, NS
- Moncton, NB
- Montreal, QC
- Ottawa, ON
- Quebec, QC
- Sault Ste. Marie, ON
- St. Johns NL
- Sudbury, ON
- Timmins, ON
- Thunder Bay, ON
- Toronto City, ON**
- Toronto, ON
- Windsor, ON
For travel to/from the US, you can travel to many Canadian cities from/to Boston, Chicago and Newark.
I priced out a random weekend trip from Newark to Toronto and the regular fare, including taxes, was $398.03.
With the USPROMO26DEC11 promo code the flight dropped down to $243.22. The taxes of $72.31 stayed the same, which is why the whole price was not halved.

The Black Star Riders, the new incarnation of Thin Lizzy, have released snippets of their new material via their YouTube channel. The band is currently recording in California with producer Kevin Shirley.
In one video, guitarist Damon Johnson explains the recording process to fans:
"Ricky (Warwick) or I would bring in a song idea, and as soon as Scott starts playing on it, it sounds like Thin Lizzy, whether Scott realizes it or not. Everybody who's heard the new music says it has that classic Thin Lizzy vibe. No, it can't sound like the original band. But that classic Lizzy vibe is absolutely there."
BSR feature Scott Gorham (guitar), Warwick (vocals), Damon Johnson(guitar), Marco Mendoza (bass) and new member Jimmy Degrasso (drums).
The band does not include current Thin Lizzy drummer Darren Wharton or co-founder Brian Downey.

This Winter Let Kids Grapple With A Flavor Sensation
SELAH, Wash., Jan. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The winter blues have arrived in kid's lunches and the "same old, same old" snack time keeps showing up. So why not change up the offerings with one of mother nature's favorites, an apple that comes with a twist. Grapple® Brand Apples combine two favorite fruits - apples and grapes into one crunchy bite kids really enjoy.
Each winter Grapple® Brand Apples are at their best. They are incredibly crunchy and sweet and give off the aroma of concord grapes, which appeals to kids, and those young at heart. Kids love the combination of mixing up two favorite flavors in one bite. Parents like them too, as they give kids a healthy snack while still passing the cool taste test.
Grapples begin as either a Washington State Gala or Fuji apple. Through a complex, patented process the apples take on grape flavor and an aromatic smell from being gently bathed with an ingredient mix that is primarily grape flavor and pure water.
Worried about their nutrition? Grapple Brand Apples are as healthy to eat as any other apple. In fact the apple maintains its natural supply of vitamins, minerals, nutrients and fiber. They are not a GMO product. All ingredients are USDA and FDA approved and the process has been licensed by the Washington State Department of Agriculture.Grapple Snack Idea: Grapple Apple Rings 4 medium unpeeled Grapples, cored but left whole1/4 cup peanut butter1-1/2 teaspoons honey1/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips2 tablespoons dried cranberries In a small bowl, combine peanut butter and honey; fold in chocolate chips and cranberries and mix well. Fill centers of apples with peanut butter mixture; refrigerate 30 min. Cut into 1/4-in. rings. Makes about 2 dozen

History of Andover schools
Andover Public Schools Today
The Andover, Kansas, public school district spans 47 square miles in Butler and Sedgwick counties. Andover is located east of Wichita and is home to more than 10,000 people. Approximately 4,800 students attend the six elementary, two middle, and two high schools in the Andover school district.
Andover Public Schools hold high expectations for students and staff. Andover schools take pride in their academic excellence and progress to exceed local, state and NCLB goals. Our tradition of excellence is evident in our National Merit Finalists and Semi-Finalists, Standard of Excellence awards, state championships in athletics and activities, and regional and national recognitions awarded to programs and staff. Andover is a progressive district focused on helping students succeed.
The Board of Education is committed to small schools and small class sizes. The district has seen considerable growth in the last decade. The community overwhelming approved a bond issue in 2005 to support the growing population. The bond issue included building three new elementary schools -- a new Robert M. Martin Elementary School opened in Fall 2007, and Wheatland Elementary School and Prairie Creek Elementary School opened in Fall 2008 -- as well as classroom additions to Cottonwood Elementary School, renovation of Meadowlark Elementary School, classroom additions and a competition gym at Andover High School, and safety and security improvements district-wide.
The district enjoys a partnership with Butler Community College that allows high school students the opportunity to earn college credit hours. The district also participates in the Butler County Special Education Cooperative and the South Central Kansas Education Service Center. Andover employs counselors and nurses in each building, has intervention and prevention teams available to work with at-risk students, employs paraprofessionals to assist librarians and teachers, and has active parent volunteer organizations that enhance learning experiences.
All of this has contributed to the success of Andover Public Schools.
Andover Public Schools History
But where did all this growth begin? How did Andover schools become schools of choice for so many people? Here's some of what we know:
In 1875, the same year professional baseball had its first recorded shutout, the first newspaper cartoon strip appeared in print, and Susan B. Anthony was arrested for attempting to vote, a wooden one-room schoolhouse was built near where Andover now stands. This school was moved to Andover when the town was laid out. The portion that was moved was adjoined with a new school house, built at a cost of $2,000, on Andover Road just north of Allison Street. It was completed in 1882 and school started that fall. This was the first Andover school, and Professor Hanskin was in charge of the 86 students who attended. In 1917, the cost of first class postage went up to 3 cents, the United States entered World War I, and the first permanent school building for the Andover School District was constructed – a three story brick building. A bus barn was the only other structure at the time, and the district was known as "District 122." It wasn't until consolidation in 1965 that the district became "USD 385."
A number of small schools in surrounding townships were consolidated into the Andover school district over the years. Rose (school #27) in Bruno Township, which opened in 1871, closed in 1948 after consolidating with Andover. Indianola (school #50), also opened in 1871 and later consolidated with Andover. School #61 in Bruno Township opened in 1872 and consolidated with Andover in 1910. Lorena (school #91) opened in 1872 and consolidated with Andover in 1945.
A bond issue was passed in 1950-51 to expand the Andover school to accommodate the growth in the area following World War II. This expansion included the building that forms part of Cottonwood Elementary School today. A new elementary school was completed in the late 1950s and added on to in the 1960s, when a new stadium, cafeteria and classrooms were added at the high school (the cafeteria and classrooms are what is currently the stadium building, and the high school was later Andover Intermediate and is now Cottonwood Elementary school). Two school bond issues were voted down by residents in the mid 70s, though one passed in 1978 to build a new upper level school – Andover High School -- a 120,000 square foot structure designed to school 750 students. It was built at a cost of $3,703,050. The class of 1982 was the first senior class to graduate from this facility. In the late 1980s, additions were made to the high school and the Butler County Community College wing was added.
Andover Elementary (later Andover Intermediate for grades 3-5 and then Martin Primary South for K-3, and now Meadowlark Elementary School for K-5) was built in 1959, with additions in 1966 and 1981. Andover Primary School for grades 1-2 (later Robert M. Martin Primary and then Martin Primary North, now Robert M. Martin Elementary School for K-5) was built in 1987, and was originally built to accommodate primary (grades 1-2) children. A second addition was added in 1988 to accommodate kindergarten and additional 1st‑2nd grade children. In 1997, the school accommodated children K-3. In 2000, the district reorganized, and each of the four elementary schools now serves students in K-5. Andover Middle School was built in 1996, and the older part of Cottonwood Elementary School (which was first high school, then middle school) was built in 1947. Cottonwood opened as an elementary in 2000.
A $52 million bond was passed in November 1998 to meet the demands of a growing student population. The bond program provided for an additional high school (Andover Central High School, which opened in 2001), middle school (Andover Central Middle School, which opened in 2001) and elementary school (Sunflower Elementary School, which opened in 2000). It also included an addition to Cottonwood Elementary School, new district athletic fields and improvements to Andover High School and central service facilities. This is also when the district moved from two K‑3 buildings and one 4‑5 building to four K‑5 elementaries. A primary reason was to create schools that were smaller in order to improve student achievement, student involvement, and student safety and create neighborhood schools. The community's vote to approve this bond issue supports the Board of Education's commitment to small class size.

Manufacturing activity in the central Atlantic region expanded for the fourth straight month, according to the Richmond Fed's latest survey. Looking at the main components of the overall index, shipments and new orders grew more slowly, while employment growth held steady. Other indicators varied but suggested continued solid activity. Manufacturers reported that backlogs grew at a slightly slower pace and that increases in capacity utilization and delivery times eased somewhat, while finished goods inventories grew at a somewhat slower rate.
Looking forward, manufacturers' optimism remained in place in January. Survey contacts at more firms looked for steady growth in shipments, new orders, backlog of orders, and capacity utilization in the next six months.
Survey measures of current prices revealed that prices of raw materials grew at a slightly quicker pace in January, while finished goods prices were little changed. Respondents indicated that during the next six months they expected somewhat slower growth in both raw materials and finished goods prices from what they had anticipated last month.
In January, the seasonally adjusted composite index of manufacturing activity — our broadest measure of manufacturing — fell seven points to 18 from December's reading of 25. Among the index's components, shipments dropped seven points to 23, new orders lost twelve points to finish at 17, and the jobs index was unchanged at 14.
Other indicators generally suggested continued solid growth. The index for capacity utilization edged down three points to 18, and the backlogs of orders grew more slowly, losing nine points to 5. The delivery times index eased two points to end at 15, while our gauges for inventories were mixed in January. The finished goods inventory index trimmed four points in January to end at 7, while the raw materials inventories index was unchanged at 9.
Hiring conditions continued to firm at District plants in December. The manufacturing employment index held steady at 14, while the average workweek measure continued to move higher, picking up five points to 20. In contrast, wage growth dropped three points to 13.
In the January survey, our contacts remained generally optimistic about their business prospects during the next six months. The index of expected shipments inched down five points to end at 38, while the new orders, backlogs and capacity utilization indexes each dropped seven points to 40, 18, and 34, respectively. Planned capital expenditures edged up two points to 29, while the vendor lead time index fell five points to 12.
District manufacturers' intentions to expand hiring were also generally optimistic in January. The expected manufacturing employment index declined six points to 17, while the average workweek indicator improved two points to 13. In contrast, the expected wages index posted a ten-point gain to finish at 44.
District manufacturers reported that raw materials prices increased at an average annual rate of 2.79 percent from December's reading of 2.53 percent. Finished goods prices rose at a 2.17 percent pace, nearly unchanged from December's reading of 2.13 percent last month.
Looking ahead, respondents expected that the prices they pay will advance at a 3.17 percent pace compared to December's reading of 3.70 percent. Additionally, contacts looked for finished goods prices to increase at a 2.34 percent annual rate, a tad below last month's expectation of 2.41 percent.

Best Kung Pao Beef ever! My husband rated it a 9 1/2 out of 10. I followed the recipe exactly except for the Guilin Chili sauce that I did not have so I used Sambal Oelek instead. Spicy, deep in flavor from the black vinegar and the sauce was the perfect thickness. Tender beef with crunchy peanuts all with that slight numbing of the Sichuan peppercorns. Delish!

I thought this was great! I agree with the other reviewer... the szechwan peppercorn was a bit much and distracted from the rest of the dish. Otherwise I thought the flavors were great and just as the show implies... Easy!

This tastes JUST like the dish served in a Chinese restaurant. In fact, even better! I leave out the Sichuan peppercorns, because I don't like the flavor, but otherwise, this recipe is a real winner. LOVE!!! BTW: the internet has all the Chinese sauces you need, if you aren't lucky enough to live near a Chinatown. It's worth the effort!!!

Couldn't find the ingredients for this dish and it didn't come close to what it should've been. Short of a trip to China Town in NYC or San Francisco, I don't really know how you can find those particular chilies, the Sichuan peppercorns and that Chili sauce. Heinz chili sauce sure didn't work.

Amazing! Once cooked I had to run out so I put it away for the next night. Microwaved it and it was amazing. The sauce was a little vinegar tasting at first but when it sat overnight and those flavors married it was fantastic. I only used 3 dry chiles and 1 jalapenio insted of the serrano and it was just the right amount of heat.
on October 23, 2011
WOW! What a great dish. Spicy but tasty, just the right amount of heat. I like the stickiness of the sauce on the beef. I like my steak on the very pink side so I did not cook it very long. I had leftovers the next day and the microwave made the beef very chewy. Won't be microwaving the next time if we have leftovers. So good! Great recipe

This is a delicious recipe and very different from any other stir fry I have made. The sauce is so unique and the flavor of the szechuan peppercorns was so interesting. I would make one change to the recipe. Next time I will cook the steak until it is still quite pink, only stir frying it briefly before adding the sauce. Steak dries out when it is well done and it should be cooked to medium done at most. The dish was delicious but the steak over cooked and lost its lovely texture. It was still delicious, but the steak was not the star it should have been.
We all loved this and none of us had ever had a Chinese dish like it, or had ever tried szechuan peppercorns. I will make this again and again. This time, my steak will be flash stir fried so it isn't over cooked.

This recipe is so good. It is by far the most authentic Chinese dish we ever cooked. It serves 4 but my wife and I could not stop eating it. So technically it only serves 2. I also love that you control the level of spicy. We chose 4 red dry Thai chiles and 4 serranos.

Two of the mandrels are identical and all of them are so sharp that you will bleed while tying tubes unless you cut the tip off. Obviously made by someone who never tied a tube fly.

Pixar Beats Handily
Updated from 4:49 p.m.
Pixar (PIXR) beat the earnings estimate it made analysts back at midquarter and offered guidance well above current expectations.
The computer-generated animation studio cited the "stellar" box office performance of The Incredibles, released last November.
For the fourth quarter ended Jan. 1, Pixar reported earnings of $55.2 million, or 91 cents per share. That's down from the $1.44 per share Pixar earned in the fourth quarter of 2003, but ahead of the Thomson First Call expectation of 77 cents.With Pixar's one-movie-a-year release schedule making quarterly results erratic, analysts had a wide range of quarterly estimates going into the release -- anywhere from 64 cents to $1.25 per share, according to Thomson. The company earned $2.38 a share for the year, ahead of the company's Nov. 11 guidance range of $2.10 to $2.20 a share. Fourth-quarter revenue amounted to $108.9 million, down from $164.8 million a year earlier but beating the consensus figure of $97 million. Year-earlier results were boosted by the November 2003 home video release of Finding Nemo. The company plans to release The Incredibles on DVD March 15. Looking ahead, the company forecast first-quarter 2005 EPS in the range of 85 cents to 95 cents. The eight-analyst estimate for the first quarter currently stands at 27 cents per share. The company's next theatrical release, Cars, isn't expected to be released until the summer of 2006. It's slated to be the last original feature produced and distributed under Pixar's multiyear agreement with Disney (DIS). Pixar hasn't revealed any agreement as to what studio might replace Disney as its distributor for future movies. Shares in Pixar, up $1 to $89.88 in normal trading, gained another $1.95 after hours.

Applied behavior analysis Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries
Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia
Applied behavior analysis (ABA), previously known as behavior modification, is the application of operant and classical conditioning that modifies human behaviors, especially as part of a learning or treatment process. Behavior analysts focus on the observable relationship of behavior to the environment, including antecedents and consequences, without resort to "hypothetical constructs". By functionally assessing the relationship between a targeted behavior and the environment, the methods of ABA can be used to change that behavior.

14 Camping Essentials
Take the rough out of "roughing it" by packing the right supplies
By Arianne Cohen
It should have four features: built-in pockets and hooks to hold lanterns and sleep gear, enough height for you to stand up straight, a separate "room" for sleeping, and most important, the possibility of pitching it all by yourself in five minutes. I like the one-piece Coleman Instant Tent 6 ($178.99; Coleman.com).
Tip! Pick a model that sleeps double the number of people you plan to sleep, so you have enough space to relax.
