Red-tape is simply maddening. If you run a business, you know what this means. It seems like government bureaucrats insist on regulating anything and everything—if it moves, they regulate it. But, the NFIB Legal Center and NFIB work hard to cut through needless red-tape.
We know that business owners are struggling with the costs of an ever-tightening regulatory noose and piles of paperwork. But, nothing is more frustrating than being forced to jump through pointless regulatory hoops. That is why NFIB's Legal Center filed in support of business owners in CTIA v. City of San Francisco.
Last year, the City of San Francisco enacted an ordinance prohibiting vendors from selling cell phones unless they also issued a warning about the possibility that cell phone use might—somehow—cause cancer. But, the City admitted, after the lawsuit was filed, that it had no evidence to support the cancer allegations. In other words, the regulation was based on nothing but conjecture and speculation.
In the end, NFIB helped secure a victory for small business owners. A federal court of appeals recently struck down the San Francisco ordinance. The labeling requirement made no sense and violated business owners' First Amendment protection against compelled government speech.
Now, we understand the need for reasonable regulation. Obviously labeling requirements make sense if there are legitimate health and safety concerns about a product. But, we will continue to stand up against regulatory restrictions that hurt business and accomplish nothing else. Indeed, this victory is important, but it represents only a skirmish in a larger battle against regulatory overreach in America. As always, we continue the fight for small business rights.

In addition, Small Businesses for Sensible Regulations, a project of NFIB, is a new effort dedicated to protecting small businesses and American jobs from the impacts of regulations recently proposed by the Obama administration.

Base metal Harvard round stripe cufflinks
Material: Base Metal, Enamel
Brand: Smart Turnout
Origin: United Kingdom
Smart Turnout's name comes from the British military term "smartly turned out," which means "looking one's best." Founded in 1999 by Scots Guards officer Philip Turner, this London-based label offers men's clothing and accessories evocative of traditional British style and heritage. Smart Turnout's bags, scarves, watch box sets (a watch plus four nylon grosgrain watch bands), and knitwear reproduce the vibrant color combinations used by prestigious British and American institutions. What could make a guy feel more ready to do battle at the office than pulling on a pair of socks named for the Adjutant General's Corps or the Queen's Dragoon Guards? Other nods toward preppy personalization include ribbon belts, cricket sweaters, and regimental ties inspired by the Royal Marines and Navy, top English education institutions (Eton, Harrow) and the U.S.'s Ivy League universities.

2011 Ford Edge
akirby Posts: 7,757The LS, Aviator and Expedition all had problems repaired under warranty. Only the Aviator was serious - new head.
If you look at the facts ALL new vehicles are fairly reliable. The worst one today is better than the best one was 15 years ago.
There are exceptions and Ford has had problems with specific vehicles including MFT. But you can't say one brand is better or worse than another based on anecdotal evidence. -
m6user Posts: 3,048But you can't say one brand is better or worse than another based on anecdotal evidence.
Exactly. Which is why the rating outfits seek hundreds or thousands of owner's experiences and compare the averages to get rankings. I used to buy mostly GM and a few Ford. When I compare the repair experiences I had with all those vehicles(which on the most part liked/loved them all) there is no comparison to the 10, 9 and 5 year old Japanese products I now own. I really just can't believe how many recalls and warranty repairs there were with the GM and Ford products over the years and then out of warranty repairs which I accepted while assuming that it was "normal". Well, I discovered it was not normal for the Japanese brands. While I would love to buy a Ford or a GM(had a couple of Chrysler products too but not impressed at all) again, I am gunshy.
I've had about 22 GM products and 6 Ford products so I think I've got some pretty good history and knowledge of the brands. I realize that things have changed recently but not ready to chance it quite yet. -
akirby Posts: 7,757You should ask the folks that had Toyota engine sludge problems or Honda transmission problems or Toyota Tacoma frames that rusted IN HALF whether they're perfect or not.
JD Power is the best source for quality data. Ford is not perfect and has had issues but the others aren't perfect either.
If you don't want a Ford then don't buy one. -
m6user Posts: 3,048I agree with that. Those surveys of "one" are not applicable to others or to a brand but they do apply to us personally when a stark difference is noted through actual first hand experience over many, many vehicles.
The reason I have the Edge bookmarked is because I was seriously looking at it at one time but can't get over the user interface with the controls. I hate the mytouch stuff and I like vehicles loaded and it's impossible to stay away from it when the vehicle is loaded. I realize it and sync has been improved and improved but I want nothing to do with those type of capacitive controls. I also looked at the new Escape but can't get over the styling or the lack of storage cubbies in the dash and console area. I hate using my cupholders for everything but drinks. :sick: -
avery1 Posts: 372I had never had a Japanese brand and after hearing rave reviews bought a 1999 Lexus RX. Wonderful car in many ways but it had several major issues. There was the sludge in the engine problem. There were many, many complaints about this problem and after years they extended the warranty to cover that but it was diagnosed in my car after the warranty extension. Fortunately the diagnosis was wrong. There was also the early failure of transmissions that they didn't address. Cost me $4700 for a new transmission at 110,000. (My brothers Chrysler van went through 3 trannys in the same time frame.)
Before these Lexus problems surfaced I bought a Toyota Sienna to replace an Aerostar. Again, a great car in many ways. But there is a premature failure of the sliding doors with hundreds of failures noted in the thread here on Edmunds. Usually the fix is about $1800. After years of complaints Toyota has finally issued a warranty extension that covers some of the failures. It isn't so much the problems that surface it is how the company deals with them. I have not been satisfied with the Toyota way of dealing with them.
So I sold the Lexus and bought a Volvo XC 60. So far so good after 18 months but will see. -
m6user Posts: 3,048Trying to fine tune an adjustment seemed diffucult. It's like those old radios where the dial just nevers seems to hit the station right. Kind of a silly way to explain it but that's the way it seemed. After a lengthy test drive the sync voice commands just couldn't get it right on so many tries that I gave up and so did the salesman. He said there must be somethning wrong with that particular car I was testing. Maybe they should be test driving one that works, ya think?? Anyway, it may be something over a lot of time one could get used to but I just don't want to spend $40k and have to learn that much. There were a couple of other little bugaboos in the driving experience that didn't feel right to me but that is probably very specific to me and may not bother others at all.
conkev Posts: 7I totally agree with what you are saying. I have been a loyal customer to Ford for 25 years. I think their new body styles and technolory are cool/cutting edge. I too would love to buy a new Ford Edge, but, based on my past experience with Ford products and the ratings and reviews on the Edge, I bought the Lexus RX 350 AWD instead. Mywife is happy, so I'm happy.

char4 Posts: 2Last night whule I was in the car and trying to exit the panic alarm started- when I pressed the panic button it wouldn't turn off. A message came on the dash to start the car and the alarm would turn off but when I tried to start the car it wouldn't start. When I opened the car door the alarm would start again, the message came on but again I couldn't start the car to turn it off. Mu husband who was standing outside the car was able to turn it off with his remote. Is there some sequence which is required to stop the alarm if you are in this situation? This is a 2011 Edge Limited.
akirby Posts: 7,757Maybe you hit the door lock on the remote which armed the system and it went off when you opened the door from the inside without unlocking it and disarming it first. It happens a lot, especially if you leave the kids in the car and lock the doors then they decide to open the door.
Try hitting the lock/unlock button on the remote first, then the panic button if that doesn't work. Could have just been a glitch. -
tazerity1 Posts: 1I ordered this car right from the plant when they came out. I have now 53,000 km's on it and everything on this car is perfect, Sync works great and android phone and music no problems. I am really proud to drive this car and would definitely recommend to anyone. I wish all my cars in the past worked as well as this one does.
Tom -
bigk3 Posts: 1Hmmm. Not sure I get what the complications are with MYFORD TOUCH. I spent 15 minutes today in a Ford Edge Limited and it was very easy going thru MFT. Everything worked fine for me and I had no problems manuvering thru the system. Sync worked fine also but granted I watched a YOUTUBE video the night before and the syntax you use matters. Sounds to me like you had a broken salesman.
Also spent time in an Audi Q5 with MMI and WOW you want to talk about complicated. That one will take a learning curve. Maybe if I had an Audi video that one would have gone smoother too though? -

My new 2013 Edge has those horrible spots (just like the 2011 Escape I just turned in) In the past I was able to remove the spots from the Escape but the next day after getting the Edge I had a lot of spots of which I can not get out. I have read the sad stories of others taking their cars to the dealers and the results have been almost worse than when they took them in. Why won't Ford listen to us and STOP using those recycled products that cause these stains (just water). Can someone grab Fords' ear? This is the 3rd Ford I have had in 2 1/2 years and I am pretty sure I won't buy anymore. Help -

This substantial ring features a cool blue stone that will highlight your singular style. The ring's centerpiece is a faceted marquise-shaped gem of amazonite that glistens like ice in the winter sun. Framing the stone and twisting down the shank is a one-of-a-kind open scrollwork design of sterling silver. Inspired by the wintry months but stylish enough to wear year-round, this bold ring is must-have addition to your collection. Ring measures 1" long x 3/4" wide. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Quiet stretches across the land, and the soothing scent of fresh air rises like a gentle breath from the earth at rest. The soft blue green of amazonite evokes a fresh breeze carrying the promise of spring, while scalloped sterling silver adds a regal and feminine finish to the gemstone's lovely hue.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

"Cleveland-Bolivar county started crime stoppers. We're trying to get awareness out and offer you the number to contact someone," said Chairman Mark Williams. "You're given a code number and you leave your tip. If the tip leads to an arrest you get a cash reward of up to $1000."
The program is a member of Crime Stoppers USA, which is a "national Crime Stoppers organization that spans the United States to create a network of local programs that work together to prevent and solve crimes in communities and schools across the nation," according to the CSUSA website.
The program is funded through a small percentage of county and city traffic fines, as well as private donations.
The Cleveland-Bolivar County Crime Stoppers Program Committee wants to promote the name so that members of the community and Bolivar County residents are aware and that they have the ability to help if they know something about a crime that has been committed.
"Right now we are trying to get our name out there more. We've gotten permission from the city to put them on any sign we want to as long as it's not a stop sign," said Williams.
The committee plans to add more signs each year, including in the county and so far is currently in the process of posting 50 new signs around Cleveland.
The committee has also had local companies create Crime Stoppers chip clips, thermometers, small flashlights, and pencils to promote the name.
These items will be given out at local football games, such as this past Friday's Cleveland High School and East Side High School football games, and events throughout the community.
"We just wanted things people could keep in their household to keep brand awareness. We've ordered a whole lot of pencils and the DARE officers are giving them out in the school systems," said Williams.
"We're very fortunate here that we don't have the crime like other areas, yet we still have crime. We want people to call the number, help out our law enforcement, get these people off the streets, and they can make some money out of it at the same time," said Williams.
The Crime Stoppers insures anonymity of informants.
"We don't want to know who they are. We just want to reduce crime and try to do our part to help out and do that," said Mark Robinson, treasurer of the program.
Not only does the Crime Stoppers program take anonymous tips, but they also help to promote safety in the community.
The committee has a child fingerprinting kit that allows someone to get a print out of a child's fingerprints, photo id, height, weight, eye color, and any other identifying markers the child may have.
"Any organization can borrow it and we work hand in hand to use that kit," said Robinson.
Different organizations or schools have used this to insure parent's are prepared if something were to happen to their child.
"If they come up missing we can report it and we've got fingerprints on them. It's been really good," said Robinson.
"All we ask is if when someone borrows it they take care of the paper and replace the ink," said Williams.
With new signs for Crime Stoppers appearing throughout Cleveland, it is hopeful that more residents will be aware they have the opportunity to keep their community safe.
Crime Stoppers takes anonymous tips on crimes. A caller is given an id number and if the caller's information leads to an arrest or conviction, that person could receive a cash reward from Crime Stoppers.
To provide information on any case, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

The Specialty Equipment Market Association show in Las Vegas is an annual celebration of all that is new, popular, wacky, unsafe, and occasionally production-ready in the world of aftermarket tuning. SEMA concept cars range from lifted trucks to slammed hot-rods, and from turbocharged hot hatches to luxury sedans with shimmering paint jobs.Some cars are tweaked by start-up outfits, others by established tuning companies, and others by automakers themselves.
This year's SEMA show proved no different than before, with cars on display running the gamut from awesome production-intent vehicles to tuner specials of questionable taste. Our top ten favorite vehicles from the 2012 SEMA show are listed below in no particular order.
1. Ford Cobra Jet Twin-Turbo Concept
As if a 5.0-liter V-8 engine in a turnkey NHRA-legal drag car wasn't good enough, the engineers at Ford Racing bolted on two turbochargers to create this concept car. Ford says the twin-turbo Cobra Jet will run the quarter-mile in about eight seconds at over 150 mph. This car and its modified engine won't be put into production or made available in the Ford Racing parts catalog, but engineers say lessons from building the Cobra Jet Twin-Turbo concept will be applied to future street cars.
2. Icon D200
We love old-school pickup trucks to begin with, and we love them even more when companies like Icon rest-mod the trucks of yesterday with modern-day equipment. Based on a 1965 Dodge D200, the Icon D200 packs the chassis from a brand-new Ram 3500, a 4.5-inch lift kit, and a Cummins 5.9-liter inline-six turbo-diesel tuned for 975 lb-ft of torque. Icon says the D200 is just a one-off for this year's SEMA show, but as the company already offers a line of resto-mod vehicles like the Toyota FJ40 and Jeep CJ, we're crossing our fingers the D200 will eventually be sold to the public.
3. Dodge Charger Juiced
We're already fans of the Dodge Charger -- we named it an Automobile All-Star and have been pleased with our Four Seasons example -- but this version tweaked by Chrysler Group's Mopar for the SEMA show is even hotter. The main upgrade is the addition of a Dodge Viper-derived 8.0-liter V-10 crate engine, rated at 650 hp and 600 lb-ft, and backed by a six-speed manual transmission from the Dodge Challenger SRT8. The copper paint job, lowered suspension, and 20-inch wheels make the Charger Juiced look good, too.
4. Chevrolet COPO Camaro Convertible
Like the Ford Cobra Jet, the Chevrolet COPO Camaro is a special turn-key drag racer. Chevrolet will build just 69 copies of the car this year, and two of them will be convertibles. Yes, convertible drag racers -- a roll cage keeps occupants safe, the fabric top is fully functional, and Chevrolet assures us the car can legally be run at NHRA-sanctioned events so long as the convertible top is raised. Under the hood is a supercharged 5.4-liter V-8 engine good for 550 hp, coupled to a three-speed automatic transmission. Chevrolet will keep one of the two convertibles, and the other will be auctioned by Barrett-Jackson in January, with profits benefitting the American Heart Association.
5. Toyota DragQuoia Family Sequoia Dragster
The Toyota Sequoia is a pleasant and practical vehicle, but it was never exciting until NHRA driver transformed it into this DragQuoia. Apparently inspired by Brown's desire to take his family racing with him, the DragQuoia packs a full roll cage, 21.5-inch wide rear tires, a supercharged 5.7-liter V-8, and a nitrous-oxide system. Yet the car also packs two adult-sized racing seats, two child-sized race seats, and a special baby racing seat. We doubt Brown will actually take his family down the drag strip in this modified Sequoia, but it's certainly a cool concept that could add some excitement to the morning school run.
6. 2013 Chevrolet Camaro Hot Wheels Edition
At last year's SEMA show, Chevrolet revealed a bright-green concept car that was supposed to look like a real life Hot Wheels toy. This year, the automaker revealed the Camaro Hot Wheels Edition, a $6995 package that goes into limited production early next year. Developed in partnership with Hot Wheels, the treatment includes several visual tweaks designed to recall the style of the eponymous toys: 21-inch wheels with a red lip, Kinetic Blue paint, the front grille and rear spoiler from the Camaro ZL1, matte-black exterior accents, branded door-sill plates and floor mats, plus a smattering of Hot Wheels logos. The Hot Wheels package can be applied to any Camaro 2LT or 2SS, whether coupe or convertible. The car looks just like the toys we played with as kids, making it perfect for any adults who have yet to outgrow his or her youth.
7. Fiat 500 Beach Cruiser
Mopar also worked its magic on the Fiat 500, transforming the cutesy Italian runabout into the California-inspired Beach Cruiser. The car's body has been widened a foot, and those massive fenders now house red aluminum wheels with shiny center dishes. Atop the roof sits a chrome-and-teak surfboard rack, while the interior carpeting has been replaced by more wood. Topping off this funky, old-school Beach Cruiser is a hula-girl toy wobbling on the dashboard.
8. Hyundai Veloster Turbo "Velocity" Concept
What's better than a Hyundai Veloster Turbo with 201 hp? How about a factory-tuned concept version called Velocity that has 400 hp?A new body kit, spoiler, and widened fenders hint at the performance upgrades, which include new pistons and connecting rods from Cosworth, as well as a larger turbocharger and intercooler. The interior features a roll bar and data recorder GPS and video, while the chassis benefits from larger Brembo brakes and firmer Bilstein springs and dampers. Yeah, this is the sort of Hyundai Veloster Turbo we'd be more than happy to drive.
9. Subaru WRX and WRX STI Special Editions
It's no secret we're fans of the all-wheel-drive, turbocharged rockets that are the Subaru WRX and WRX STI, so we were pleased to see special versions of the cars at SEMA. Subaru showed off versions of the 2013 WRX and WRX STI sedans with a Halloween-like orange and black paint scheme. The exterior has Tangerine Orange paint, black wheels, and black mirrors, while the interior gets orange stitching on the door panels, seats, shifter, and floor mats. Subaru will make just 200 copies of the WRX Special Edition and another 100 copies of the WRX STI Special Edition. The cars reach showrooms in the spring, and we think they look pretty darn cool.
10. Silver Bullet Ford F-150
Truckin' Magazine got their hands on a 2013 Ford F-150 EcoBoost and, rather than lift it skyward, lowered the truck and added more power. Their goal with the F-150 FX2 Sport was not to create an off-road or towing monster, but a truck with a sportier driving experience. New 22-inch wheels are wrapped sticky Nitto tires, and larger brakes are meant to help counteract the truck's weight and newfound performance. The latter comes courtesy of a new intake, new headers, and a new exhaust for the twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine, plus a computer reflash from Bully Dog. Truckin' Magazine's goal is to bump output from the factory rating of 365 hp to 500 hp. Lowered suspension, better brakes, and more horsepower? That's our kind of tuner truck.

Weeks like this, I hope, remind you why you joined NFIB.
President Obama's jaw-dropping comments over the weekend, where he said "If you've got a business – you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen," felt like a punch in the gut to small-business owners all over this country. It was one of the more blatant examples of the lack of respect that I know you have felt from government – subtly or explicitly – since you started your business.
I know you were angry when you heard his words. I know you probably wanted to give the president a piece of your mind, and I wouldn't be surprised if many of you have already called the White House this week. At NFIB, we did respond to the president's offensive statement immediately. We talked to the press and took to the airwaves to share your outrage. This is the statement we sent to the media:
What a disappointment to hear President Obama's revealing comments challenging the significance of America's entrepreneurs.
His unfortunate remarks over the weekend show an utter lack of understanding and appreciation for the people who take a huge personal risk and work endless hours to start a business and create jobs.
Every small-business owner who took a second mortgage on their home, maxed out their credit cards or borrowed money from their own retirement savings to start their business disagrees strongly with President Obama's claim. They know that hard work does matter.
Every small business is not indebted to the government or some other benefactor. If anything, small businesses are historically an economic and job-creating powerhouse in spite of the government.
We are encouraged to see that the news media is very interested in your reaction to the president's words. They have already quoted from our statement extensively. If you would like an opportunity to talk to the press directly about how this moment made you feel, please contact NFIB's media-relations office at email@example.com.
As an NFIB member, you may be inspired right now to increase your activism and involvement. If you have friends or family members who are business owners and are also outraged this week, I hope you will mention membership in NFIB as a way to fight back. Encourage them to join. After all, the more members we have, the stronger our voice will be and the less likely we will be in the future to have leaders in Washington, D.C. who just don't get it.

At the end of the day, your team is the laughing stock of the league. You know it. I know it. Everyone knows it. You don't have a leg to stand on.

North Melbourne finally had their Best & Fairest last night.
Unsurprising that they leave it til November. Generally the cheapest time to book out a function room with all the other teams having had their event. They can get a nice discount and afford a semi-decent bingo hall.
They book it then because they expect to be still celebrating grand final success.
Richmond hold it in the first week in September. I kid you not people.

The following is a list of the NBA's top five highest salaried teams. (And thanks to Hoopsworld.com for providing the data).
Hoopsvibe's quick call: This list proves that the best team isn't always the one that spends the most money.
1.) The Los Angeles Lakers - $102,256,438
Point and case. The Lakers may have the largest payroll in the league but their current record is the worst on this list. The organization kept busy this offseason and when they acquired both Dwight Howard and Steve Nash, it was looking like the purple and gold were the team to beat. And indeed, they have been the team to beat. Yes, it's still early in the season, but having won only three games with their expensive lineup is pretty embarrassing. Let's hope the recent hiring of Mike D'Antoni turns things around.
2.) The Miami Heat - $87,595,822
It shouldn't come as much of a shock that the Heat are number 2 on this list. They pretty much cleared out their books a few years ago to make sure there was enough cap space for Lebron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade to be on the roster. And as it turns out, that was a good idea. Micky Arison, Pat Riley and company made a good decision in doing so seeing that the Heat are the defending NBA Champions and are currently sitting at the top of their division.
3.) The New York Knicks - $82,010,527
The Knicks could quite possibly be the surprise of the season so far. J.R. Smith is posting career numbers, averaging 18.2 points per game. Raymond Felton is averaging 14 points and 6.2 assists while Carmelo Anthony's 26.8 ppg leads the league in scoring. As a result, they're 5-0; all the while Amare Staudemire has been on the bench with knee injury. Who knows if they'll keep it up, but it will certainly be interesting to see how they play with Amare back in the lineup.
4.) The Brookyln Nets - $83,511,726
The NBA's newest team are 4-2 to start the season. They have a new stadium in the Barclays Center and with Deron Williams, Brooks Lopez, Kris Humphries and Joe Johnson on their payroll, they certainly have a few expenses. But if they continue to win games, those expenses most likely won't be much of an issue.
5.) The Memphis Grizzlies - $77,098,154
I was pretty surprised when Memphis came in at #5 on this list. I would have thought Boston, or San Antonio, or even Oklahoma City would have been ahead of the Grizz. Then again, they do have Rudy Gay, Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol on their roster. Those three guys alone take up about $47 million of the payroll. And for good reason; they combine for over 51 points per game.

Dwyane Wade told USA Today Sports that he is donating his entire game salary from tonight's game against the Knicks to Hurricane Sandy relief.
Hoopsvibe's Quick Call: Dwyane Wade is the man.

Something about Dwyane Wade's performance in game one of the 2012 NBA Finals on Tuesday night looked awkward. And some of his postgame comments seemed to confirm what everyone was thinking.
HoopsVibe Very Quick Call: Is it possible that D Wade's best days are behind him?
Read More
On the chances of him staying in Phoenix: "Honestly, I have no clue. I couldn't predict. I don't know what the future holds at this point. And I'm actually OK with that. I think now's the time to maybe get some distance from it and try to find a clear perspective on where I am. Until I do that, I couldn't put a number on it or take a guess on what the chances are on whether I'll be back or not."
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: This is the end of the line for Steve Nash and the Phoenix Suns.
Although fit and productive, Nash is in his late thirties and the window to win a championship is quickly closing. In fact, that window is shut if he re-ups with the Suns -as Robert Sarver's club is starting to rebuild.
So expect the two-time MVP and first ballot Hall of Fame table-setter to head elsewhere for the Mid Level Exception in July when he hits free agency.
A few possibilities:
There's an argument that Nash will re-sign with the Suns because his three children live with his ex-wife in Phoenix, Arizona. Of course, family matters. But Nash is, and always has been, highly competitive. His drive took him from being an unheralded Canadian prospect to one of the faces of the NBA.
And his drive will force him to leave Phoenix and most likely sign with a competitive squad next season.

Greenberg and Pandol are both watching Peru's table grape production, as is Tjerandsen. All three said Peru's export volumes to the U.S. are so low that the South American country's impact on the table grape deal is not expected to be too dramatic.
"It is the new sexy thing, though," Pandol said. "Timing is the key for Peru. The question is will they challenge Chile. We haven't seen any yet."
Pandol said Peru ships about as many seedless grapes in its entire season as the Golden State does in a week.

When they're not being shut out by Kershaw, doesn't it seem like the Giants score eight runs just about every game, lately? Not complaining, or anything. I really dig it. Just noting.
So I, being the mystic that I am, starting sleuthing around about what the number eight means.
- The Baltimore Orioles Hall of Famer Cal Ripken, Jr.'s number was 8 as was the New York Yankees, for Hall of Famer's Yogi Berra.
- Eight is considered a lucky number in Chinese culture because it sounds like the word meaning to generate wealth (發(T) 发(S); Pinyin: fā). Property with the number 8 may be valued greatly by Chinese. For example, a Hong Kong number plate with the number 8 was sold for $640,000. The opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics in Beijing started at 8 seconds and 8 minutes past 8 pm (local time) on 8 August 2008.
- In human adult dentition there are eight teeth in each quadrant. The eighth tooth is the so-called wisdom tooth.
- In the Middle Ages, 8 was the number of "unmoving" stars in the sky, and symbolized the perfectioning of incoming planetary energy.
- 8 Mile is a (Diamond Girl note: artsy, slow, emo) 2002 film directed by Curtis Hanson
- The 8-track cartridge is a musical recording format
- "Section 8″ is common U.S. slang for "crazy", based on the U.S. military's Section 8 discharge for mentally unfit personnel
- In numerology, 8 is the number of building, and in some theories, also the number of destruction.
- The Dharmacakra, a Buddhist symbol, has eight spokes. The Buddha's principal teaching—the Four Noble Truths — ramifies as the Noble Eightfold Path. In Mahayana Buddhism, the branches of the Eightfold Path are embodied by the Eight Great Bodhisattvas (Manjusri, Vajrapani, Avalokiteśvara, Maitreya, Ksitigarbha, Nivaranavishkambhi, Akasagarbha, and Samantabhadra). Similarly, Buddha's birthday falls on the 8th day of the 4th month of the Chinese calendar.
- 8 apparitions appear to Macbeth in Act 4 scene 1 of Shakespeare's Macbeth as representations of the 8 descendants of Banquo
- A stop sign has eight sides.
So, yeah. I think the eight runs thing has a big meaning. I just can't quite figure out what it is, but… I'm sure it's there.

p.s. Wikipedia rocks.

Rowe was born on November 6, 1924, in Americus, Ga. The fourth of six Rhett brothers, Pop, as he was affectionately called by his family, graduated from high school in Columbus, and played on the football team while attending Mississippi State University. He served in World War II and later married his sweetheart, Betty Lewis, on December 19, 1948. When Betty died of cancer in 1990, they had been a devoted couple for almost 43 years. Their married life was spent almost entirely in Cleveland, where Pop worked for Planters Equipment. A familiar figure on Cleveland tennis courts, he was a formidable player for decades because of his great stamina, shot making ability, and ambidextrous playing style.
Pop loved gardening and always had a large and productive vegetable garden, which he shared with friends, neighbors, and family. Another love was his horses, though he didn't buy his first one until he was 60-years-old. Over the years his family nicknamed him the "Horse Whisperer" of the Delta because of his extraordinary ability to handle and train them. He didn't give up his riding and gardening until he was 86-years-old.
More important than anything else in his life was Pop's relationship with Jesus Christ and with his family. He was a model to his sons and grandchildren of what a husband, father, and Christian gentleman should be and do. He was a man of prayer and prayed faithfully and regularly for his family, extended family, and friends. A deacon at First Baptist Church in Cleveland for many years, he was a greeter at the church on Sunday mornings right up until a few months before his death and made a point of studying the church directory so he could call people by name.
Pop will be gratefully remembered by his sons and daughters-in-law, Rowe and Melinda Rhett of Memphis, Glenn and Gail Rhett of Vicksburg, Bob and Kay Rhett of Canton, 10 grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held at First Baptist Church in Cleveland on Saturday, November 2, 2013, at 11 a.m., and visitation will be in the fellowship hall the hour prior to the service. Burial will follow at Friendship Cemetery in Columbus.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to Baptist Medical & Dental Mission International (BMDMI) , 11 Plaza Drive, Hattiesburg, MS 39402, the First Baptist Church (Cleveland) Buildings Renovation Fund, or a charity of the donor's choice.
Memorial Funeral Home, Columbus, MS (662)328-4432

Irish parade organizers seek fundraising boost
BY STEVE METSCH email@example.com March 4, 2013 3:28PM
An excited Amber Richard, 21, of Burbank, smiles near the start of the South Side Irish St. Patrick's Day Parade in Chicago, Illinois, Sunday, March, 11, 2012. | Joseph P. Meier~Sun-Times Media
Updated: April 6, 2013 6:22AM
Some of the folks who will be wearin' the green Sunday are needin' some green.
Sales of raffle tickets that help support the South Side Irish St. Patrick's Day Parade are lagging this year, organizers said Monday. They even posted a plea for help on the parade's Facebook page.
Not to worry, though: The parade, scheduled for noon Sunday in Chicago's 19th Ward, will go on as planned even if the parade committee's goal of 1,000 tickets sold is not reached, parade spokeswoman Ellyn Caruso said.
"We will still have a parade. This is to offset the costs of security and permits and cleanup, all the good stuff that goes on with having a parade of this size. This is a big endeavor," Caruso said.
About 500 tickets — half the goal — had been sold as of Monday, Caruso said.
"We definitely need help in selling the raffle tickets," Caruso said.
Parade committee co-chairman Joe Connelly said the late drive to sell tickets is not unusual.
"Last year we were in a similar position. But by the end of the week, all the tickets were sold," he said.
It costs the committee about $200,000 to present the parade, Connelly said.
"About half of that is for city fees and the use of an outside security firm. And then there are all sorts of odds and ends. Most of the bands, we have to pay something toward their travel costs, then we have insurance and we put about 200 porta-potties out along Western Avenue. Those all add up," Connelly said.
The Facebook item posted Monday read:
"This is an unusual post and request. We all love the parade, that is why we are here. The parade committee works year round to raise money so the parade can be a fun, safe, family event. All the money we raise through parties, golf outing, raffles, banners, etc., goes to the parade. A big moneymaker is our raffle ticket sales, and frankly, we are behind. So here comes the unusual request ... "
The post then gives directions to people who would like to buy a ticket.
Tickets are $50 for a chance to win a $10,000 grand prize, and 1,000 tickets will be sold, the posting said. There are nine smaller prizes, so each ticket has a 1 in 100 chance of winning something, it said.
People were responding. By late afternoon, more than a dozen had said they would buy tickets.
The grand prize winner will be announced Sunday, Caruso said.

As usual, history is in part catching up to where the Canary in the Coal Mine (me) was years ago.
Pope Francis said that too much time and energy is being WASTED on abortion and the gay marriage issues. These personal issues have become an unhealthy obsession with too many religious fanatics. These relatively unimportant religious-subjective issues are crowding out time and energy for issues that Do need attention and affect the WORLD. This is the SAME advice I was giving to the Republican Party long before the 2012 election. In the election campaign Romney did the EXACT OPPOSITE, and as I had predicted if he went down that road, Romney Lost.
Romney worked hard at been an Evangelical religious assh*le and he succeeded. P.S. I DO believe there is a God, and I don't think She is against women's rights. Only women give birth and create new life, and isn't Creating new life what God does?
ALSO, as touched on between-the-lines by Pope Francis. Too many people, like some Republican Party sickos go hysterical over Hollywood male movie stars having sex, and over abortions. However, these SAME People think that bombing and murdering thousands of Muslim Children and women is absolutely wonderful and what Jesus wants.
When America bombs and murders women who were pregnant that's NOT abortion if the women were Muslims. Right?
The world ALSO caught up with the Canary in one of Today's Wall Street Journal editorials. It was by Mr. Holman Jenkins Jr. who wrote. "Asset Bubbles for the rich and a welfare boom for the rest does NOT a recovery make." Exactly what I've been saying for over 3 years. The faggots that the Mitt Romneys, Rick Santorums, Newt Gingrichs, etc SHOULD be speaking out Against are the FED faggots who's queer Trillions of never ending Debt IS causing Massive and PERMANENT damage to America.
Is there ANYONE in Washington DC who can think past the next election? America CANNOT live on FED faggot phony money forever. American Cannot keep stealing wealth from the World with its now faggot Treasury Bonds. There are ten years olds who can GET THAT.
FED faggot money has Re-Created the Stock Market and Real Estate BUBBLES. FED faggot money HAS made every slimy Gordon Gekko even Richer. FED faggot money has Already turned MILLIONS of American's into welfare zombies. The FED's ant-free market manipulated cheap money for Only S&P BIG corporations (NOT little people) is financing the AUTOMATION of good jobs in America, and replacing good jobs with lower-pay dead-end sh*t jobs. If Osama bin Laden was alive he'd say, "The American faggot FED is My Dream come true."
If you like this essay forward a copy to your Congressman and Senator.
