By John DeFore
The Federal Trade Commission met in Washington on Tuesday with the aim of speeding up its efforts to regulate green marketing claims. Motivated largely by the rapid expansion of firms selling carbon-offsets, renewable energy certificates (such as those assuring buyers that they're investing in new eco-friendly power plants), and the like, the FTC's main goal is to make sure consumers know exactly what they're buying.
The FTC and invited experts are looking at items such as airline offers that charge an optional fee to offset the ecological impact of a flight and a credit cards advertising "points" of renewable energy as a reward for each dollar spent.
The current guidelines for businesses, which are summarized online here, were first introduced in 1992 and haven't been revised since 1998 — long enough ago for plenty of marketing trends to emerge as problem areas. The rules hadn't been scheduled for revision until next year; market activity prompted a bump up in the time line.
A look at those FTC guidelines suggests why parties from all three factions (consumers, industry, and regulators) might find clarification useful: While the laws explained are high-minded, insisting on substantiation and specificity when it comes to advertising claims, they also sometimes allow for flexible interpretation.
The Commission has tried to arm consumers against loophole-hungry manufacturers with a consumer tip sheet called "Sorting Out 'Green' Advertising Claims, which encourages buyers to read and investigate the fine print. But this advisory itself appears due for a freshen up, having been written during the Clinton Administration.
Visitors to the site who are curious to know how the laws are enforced can get a glimpse on the FTC website; selecting "Environment" and then "Enforcement" brings up a list of three dozen cases — curiously, the list ends in May 2000 — in which the agency has pursued companies' misleading claims.

(UPDATED COVERAGE, March 6) ORLANDO, Fla. — Florida's favorable weather likely helped the Southeast Produce Council's Southern Exposure draw its largest crowd.
With the exception of some cool weather during the inaugural Tom Page Golf Classic, the 1,773 attendees — including more than 380 retail and foodservice buyers — enjoyed spring-like weather at the Feb. 27-March 1 show.
Last year, 1,625 participated.
"We have 900-plus people in the room now. That's a long way from when we started in Lakeland," show chairman Bobby Creel, director of business development for Raleigh, N.C.-based L&M Cos., said at a March 1 luncheon.
"This is the best show up and down the East Coast," said Dominic Viglione, a produce buyer with BJ's Wholesale Club, Westborough, Mass.
Houston-based Sysco Corp. brought 15 buying executives to walk the trade show floor, visit suppliers and attend company meetings.
"Who doesn't want to come to Orlando, especially during this winter," said Rich Dachman, Sysco's vice president of produce. "I didn't have to ask anyone twice."
Doug OhlemeierHubert Cox, produce category manager for Marsh Supermarkets LLC in Indianapolis (left), talks with Jan VanDriessche, national marketing representative of North Bay Produce Inc., Traverse City, Mich., on Feb. 28 at the Southeast Produce Council's Southern Exposure in Orlando, Fla. The March 1 expo included a record 268 exhibitors.
To accommodate the additional booth space, the council opened a smaller tent pavilion.
Some exhibitors reported slower than expected traffic during the show's opening hours, especially in the new pavilion.
"Some didn't know we were over here but we will deal with it," said Dan Arnold, sales manager of Noble World Wide, the sales division of Winter Haven-based Wm. G. Roe & Sons Inc., said March 1.
Andy Brown, vice president of marketing for Fellsmere-based B&W Quality Growers Inc., said he was able to visit many customers at the booth in the new pavilion.
"There was a concern in the beginning, but it may have worked out for the better," he said. "They put some major players here and mixed it up to where this area wasn't all new people."
Peter Leifermann, director of sales and fruit procurement for Homestead-based Brooks Tropicals LLC, said the regional show format encourages effective customer interaction.
"I have spoken with people that I know haven't been here in years past," he said. "The traffic continues to be top-notch and this show format is brilliant."
During his March 1 keynote speech, Bill Cowher, former Pittsburgh Steelers coach and CBS Sports NFL analyst, commended the industry for working to fight obesity.

This thread is about the solutions for the non-pay levels, which earn longway AND other badges.
Every level's been solved at least thrice now!
The reason I made this thread is because we've got nearly all the longway solutions .
And I saw people beeing disappointed because their longway (which was green for example)
coulnd't add there solution to the Free Level "Long Way" Badge Challenge thread.
Here you can, because most of the longways are badgeless, and it's a nice challenge to make them green or whatever.
I know there is thread like this, but here I already added many longways
You may also visit my Paid (official) Levels 'Longway AND Badge' Challenge thread.

Vintage buildings have plenty of charm, but some original elements can pose a decorating challenge. Rather than cringe at something you don't like, embrace it and find a work-around. If the bathroom tile is a shade you can't stand, pick a color you do like to serve as the room's main hue. The tone of green used in this bathroom has just a twinge of yellow which helps the accents to stand out and the yellow tile to recede. Try a blue-green with powder blue tile or sherbet orange with salmon color tile.

Hi everyone,
I'm the mom of a two year old girl, and we are about currently trying for our second child. I have a good friend who had a great experience in both of her births with a midwife and that has caused me to start researching midwives in general, but I've gotten frustrated with the amount and quality of information available online. I'd like to create a website to capture all of the information I've gathered in this process, but I'm not sure if other people would find it helpful or what information they would most like to see.
So I was wondering, is there anyone out there who has used a midwife? How did it go?
What is the one thing you wish you knew going in to the process?
If you could design a site to help educate expectant parents about midwives, what would you like to see on it?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Our area has a lot of CNM/ARNPs. They all deliver in hospitals but the experience was definitely still different than using an OB. I've seen a CNM for last half of my first pregnancy, and my full second pregnancy and will use the same CNM I used for my second IME the CNMs are still less apt to rush towards medication and provide a lot more info on natural treatments than my OB does (the one I used first half of my first pregnancy is technically still my OB since the hospital based nurses have to practice under a doctor even though I've used a CNM for all my OBGYN care for the last three years). They have longer time slots/ lower patient loads than an OB does and also when I planned a natural labor and delivery they were super gung-ho about it and AMAZINGLY supportive in the l&d room. For me, since I have a history of postpartum hemmorrhaging, I need to have access to meds to force my uterus to keep contracting post delivery. I could have a homebirth if I used a CNM/ARNP but unfortunately there aren't any in our area that aren't hospital affiliated. But I feel like it's a good middle ground for someone who wants care that is less invasive, more personal, but to still have the security of a hospital birth too if that is something important to them
Hi Cassie186,
That's the situation I'm in. I was high risk with my first pregnancy and so need to be in a hospital for the delivery, but I'm drawn to the quality of care I've heard midwives provide. So I'm trying to find a midwifery practice that deliveres in a hospital, but that's proving more difficult than I expected.
How did you find your CNM? Did you just google and then have to call around to find one that delivered in a hospital or do all CNMs in your state practice in hospitals?
I used a midwife, and it was certainly a good decision for me. Before researching childbirth in America, I had no idea that the people who normally attend births were essentially surgeons, or people who specialized in complicated pregnancies, etc. I didn't know midwives were in hospitals and are the people who work best with women who are having a normal pregnancy. (By normal I simply mean uncomplicated and generally healthy.)
I did not have any complications, and I was healthy throughout my pregnancy. I had very minimal interventions, and I had a great birthing experience in a hospital because I chose to labor with a midwife. There were a lot of factors that went into that, but she listened to my requests and followed them 100%. I didn't ask for anything crazy--I just wanted to request pain medication once I was ready instead of having someone ask me if I wanted it, I wanted delayed cord clamping, and I wanted the lights dimmed. (She left them off and used a flashlight when I pushed! It was great.) I'm sure there are OBs out there who would have done the same, but I felt immense support from her. For example, there was a time when I had to be seen by a male OB because she wasn't in the office that day. He came in with a student and told me they were going to check my cervix. I said, "Oh, that's okay, you don't need to do that. I don't really want that." He told me it was his routine procedure. I should have rebuttled, but my pants were down, and I felt peer pressure because the student (who I didn't even know was going to be there) was looking at me along with him. That wouldn't have happened with my CNM.
Anyway, I'm obviously pro-midwife. I think they're great in our hospitals, and I wish our country had more of them!
We have a great group of midwives in our area. I chose the midwifery group here because I'd see every one of them (a group of 8) throughout my pregnancy either at a prenatal appointment or at the open house they host four times a year. This made me feel very comfortable with who would be delivering our babies.
For the site, I'd have a tip to be sure to call your insurance carrier and ask if they cover prenatal visits and delivery via a midwife. I think most will as long as there's access to a physician if necessary at the birth. I think its also important to note that midwives support the birth plan of the mother and father, whether they choose drugs or not.
I've had two experiences with midwives so far. One really good! And one really bad! The first one was when I was having our first child(who is now 2 and 1/2). We were seeing an OB but I decided to call around and find a local midwife to maybe assist in the birth. I had Group B Strep(GBS). I told her about it and she made it out like it was "no big deal" and that "you don't need antibiotics". Granted, I think there are a few things you can do to naturally destroy GBS, like taking probiotics and eating healthy cultured foods like yogurt and milk kefir...but seriously? No big deal? I was positive for GBS and due in less than a month...unless I could retest and get a negative, I felt like it was a big deal. Needless to say, that was the only conversation that I had with her. Not just because of the GBS thing, but she made me feel really uneducated and like I didn't know what I wanted for myself. Kind of demeaning even because this was my first rodeo.
My 2nd experience is with the baby we are having now. And it's really awesome! I'm 23 weeks along and we are currently seeing a midwife. The hospital we are delivering at has an OB office in the hospital. There are two main OBs and midwives that assist. Unless this pregnancy becomes high risk, we see our favorite midwife(Megan) for each doctor visit and she will also be delivering our baby in the hospital. But the awesome part is, if anything goes wrong, we are already in a hospital with an NICU and an OB is right down the hall in case our midwife needs help. Honestly though, our midwife so far has been very knowledgeable, I don't see a difference between her and our previous OB, and she's much more personable(and so are all the other midwives we've met with this pregnancy). She's also been very encouraging for natural birth and I don't feel like I'm just another patient or number.
I think midwives are great. Just like I think doctors are great. I will probably choose a midwife over a doctor at this point, just because of my personal experiences but there are bad doctors just like there are bad midwives. Do your research online. Ask friends about their experiences with their doctors/midwives. Start "shopping" for OBs and midwives early on or even before pregnancy so that you can find who you want to stick with early on.

IMCAI [International Mirror Class Association of Ireland]
IMCAI wholly endorses the initiative taken by Norman Lee and Bryan Armstrong.
This year the Mirror celebrates its 50th birthday. The Mirror class has been a cornerstone for the launch of thousands of sailing careers in Ireland and around the world. In our youth, many of us, including sailors from virtually all Classes look back fondly at Mirror Nationals in which up to 130 Mirrors gathered. Enduring friendships were made that have spread throughout all fleets including the cruising fraternity and to this day form a compelling bond among the sailing family.
Mirrors also provided the grounding for so many successful sailors, from Round the World winners to Olympians:-
Olympic Silver Medallist Stuart Bithell learned to sail in a Mirror; he said "the Mirror is great to learn in. I developed tactical skills which I took forward into the 420 and then onto the 470". Round the World Yachtswomen, Dame Ellen Mac Arthur, who broke the record for the fastest solo circumnavigation in 2005 and Dee Caffari, the first woman to sail non-stop around the world both ways are big fans of the Mirror. Dee had this to say; "it does not matter how high performance your yacht or dinghy is today, I can almost guarantee that at some stage in a sailor's career they have sat in a Mirror to learn the basic skills". Double Olympic silver medallist and round the world yachtsman Ian Walker said he "owed his career to the Mirror".
However, far more importantly Mirror Sailing has grounded tens of thousands of sailors that now just race for leisure in a host of different classes or merely potter about or cruise near or far.
The Mirror is a superb boat, relatively stable but highly responsive. Importantly, the Mirror requires a crew of two which hones young sailor's skills in communication and dependency. Skippers, crew and parents form an everlasting bond which has been such a huge contributor to the greater sailing family and which underpins the sport and indeed the ISA. The Mirror is also a very affordable boat with hundreds, if not thousands lying in sheds around the country.
Present Status of Mirror Class:
Against the above background, the decimation of the Mirror fleet in recent years is regrettable and represents a long term body blow to the development of the sport in general. The 2012 National Championships mustered just over 30 boats and Provincial titles often have less than 20 competitors. While one must be careful in apportioning "blame" for this decline, successive IMCAI Committees have worked extremely hard in promoting and developing the Class. Hundreds of hours of voluntary effort has gone into the management and development of the Class but it seems that no matter how much effort is put in, the Class continues to decline.
It is clear that something is radically wrong. This is borne out by other dinghy fleets that are taking part in this debate.
Role of ISA:
There has been disquiet and much debate among the Mirror family for a number of years now in regard to the role of the ISA in supporting the Mirror Class. In general, there is a feeling of total disconnect between the Class and the ISA. Some believe that ISA is almost hostile to the Class.
During the Mirror Europeans at Poole last year, the disparity in the level of coaching available to UK Mirror sailors and Irish Sailors was almost embarrassing. IMCAI took immediate steps to rectify this and put together an inaugural National Winter Coaching program. IMCAI sought funding / assistance from ISA but received no response.
Instead, a host of volunteers came together to make the program a success, not least Lough Ree Yacht Club who provided fully heated club facilities, rescue boats, man power and indoor storage facilities. Parents raised the funds to pay the Coaches.
There is something wrong when initiatives such as this have to be undertaken with zero input from ISA. For example, it would have been brilliant for Mirror sailors to have Annalise Murphy come and speak to them on a Saturday or Sunday as part of the Coaching program.
Finally, with the Gathering and the Mirror World Championships at Lough Derg both this year, it would appear to provide a golden opportunity for ISA to promote Irish Sailing worldwide (we say this notwithstanding a small monitory contribution from ISA to LDYC).
Clearly, the creation of elitist Classes by the ISA is not helping those Classes excluded from the program. This of course is unfair and indeed discriminatory. IMCAI believe that this has impacted severely on the Mirror Class, on sailors, on boat manufacturers and resale values of boats. As the sole representative body for sailing in Ireland, the ISA has onerous responsibilities. By giving exclusivity to certain Classes at the expense of rival Classes, ISA is effectively distorting the market. Two precedents involving similar though not identical situations have arisen with the SJAI [Showing Jumping Association of Ireland] and the Irish Kennel Club. In both cases, the National Representative Associations had to significantly amend certain exclusivity practices and provide undertakings accordingly.
IMCAI believes that ISA has lost its way and needs to undertake a root and branch reappraisal of its focus, in particular having regard to the aspirations contained in ISA's 2020 Vision statement;-
· Make Access to Boating Easier, Increase Participation in Boating Activities, Improve Standard of Sailing and Manage Legislation.
· The profile of "sailing and boating as an activity for all" will be embedded in the activities of the ISA while increasing standards in every aspect in the sport will be the underlying principle of the organisation.
Various contributors have made very pertinent points and clearly a committee needs to be set up to assist in steering ISA in a manner that reflects, in the first instance, the aspirations of members. Structural changes may well be required in order to represent ISA's would be position to the Sports Council but the overriding requirement is to create a framework that can take on board the issues raised by such a large cross section of ISA members with a view to implementing changes. It would seem logical that the two proposers of the motion, Norman Lee and Bryan Armstrong would play a pivotal role in bringing this agenda forward.

Jandy Heat Pumps are among the most efficient and reliable swimming pool Heat Pumps in the industry. They work by utilizing a minimal amount of electricity to power their components. A heat pump draws heat from ambient air and transfers it to the swimming pool water. The savings that result from using a Heat Pump instead of traditional methods like gas, propane or electricity, can amount to 80% over a propane gas unit, 50-70% over natural gas and over 600% over resistance heaters. Jandy Heat Pumps are a component of Jandy's Energy Smart Products, designed to conserve energy and lower operating costs. Advanced Controls: The control panel allows you to manage the water temperature of the pool and spa as well as a timer function that allows you to control when the Heat Pump will run. The control panel features can be accessed at the heat pump or relocated to your home, cabana, or patio, allowing you to adjust the heat pump's settings remotely for added ease and convenience. Add additional panels to control your heat pump from wherever you find most convenient. There is an optional Maintenance feature for pools and spas, allowing you to keep water temperature constant, instead of powering up the heater every time you want to go for a swim. This can help you save up to an additional 30% in energy costs. Patented Features: Air Defrost allows the heat pump to operate at low temperatures. The optional hot gases Defrost/Chiller feature allows EE-Ti to heat your pool when temperatures drop as low as 38 degrees and cool your pool during the hottest summer months. Efficient Design: Large surface area of the Evaporator means more ambient air is pulled into the unit at a time, further minimizing energy use. Additionally, the Maintain Temperature feature keeps water at a constant temperature, 24 hours per day, by overriding the pool time clock. The proprietary twisted titanium heat exchanger provides maximum heat transfer resulting in increased output, high efficiency and superior hydraulic flow. With all of these features, the Jandy EE-Ti can save as much as 80% to heat your pool over alternate heating methods. Automation Ready: The optional AUTOHP Kit provides complete pool to spa automation with the touch of a button from your conveniently located control system. The AUTOHP allows easy connection to Jandy controls and other pool/spa automation systems and automatic valve systems.

CSI developed the breakthrough proprietary Mixed Phase Catalyst technology which reduces converter costs by utilizing up to 90% less precious metals than a conventional catalytic coating technology.
RockPort initially invested in Catalytic Solutions ("CSI") in which it saw the game-changing catalyst coating technology that CSI was developing and backed the Company through the long and difficult market adoption cycles in the auto industry. With major OEMs as anchor customers, timely acquisitions in the heavy duty diesel market and the merger with NASDAQ traded CDTI, the company is poised for the growth we envisioned.

The gold in this painting is symbolic of things that are celestial, enlightenment, virtuous, radiance, glory & divinity. Gold is a symbol for wisdom and heavenly beings. The storm clouds represent trials and adversity. The light and clouds around the temple represent the Light of Christ, the presence of the Savior and the veil. The light of Christ penetrates any darkness if you have faith. The reflections are a reminder to reflect on all the good things in your life and also to reflect the light of Christ by living his teachings. The umbrellas are symbolic of the shield of the gospel. Red is symbolic of how love is the heart of the home. It also symbolizes the atonement and the beautiful gift of repentance and healing. Green is symbolic of everlasting life and hope.

I have been a fan of Sandra Rast's work since I first saw it in college. We just received this as a gift and we couldn't be happier. We had a large empty space on our wall and have been wanting a picture of the temple and this couldn't have been more perfect. The frame is handmade in the USA, the art piece itself is stunning. Wonderful quality. Perfect addition to any home! It's lovely.

Color not as vivid
by Grace - reviewed on November 29, 2012
The color was one important thing that struck me before purchasing the painting online on Black Friday! I just received the paint (quick delivery) and I was disappointed to notice that the color is not as show online. It is not as VIBRANT... however it still makes a statement in my living room therefore I am keeping it. Can't beat the deal I got it for too!
by Chelsea - reviewed on October 11, 2013
This is the gift I bought for my husband when he was baptized this summer. We had been wanting a beautiful picture of the temple for the home and I fell in love with this one. We have it hanging in our living room and constantly receive compliments about how beautiful it is. We absolutely love this piece!

Since I beat two games in three days I'm just going to group this together. No surprises this time, as most people have heard of (and played) both games on the docket. Remember, just because I'm talking about it does not make it insanely obscure or expensive.
Link's Crossbow Training is a Wii title that comes packed with the Wii Zapper. Since Nintendo felt the need to only sell the game in such an expensive manner, I went the used game route and picked up a copy at Gamestop for $2.69. I popped it in after supper and promised myself that I couldn't possibly be disappointed in such a good deal.
I felt like I was playing a third-person shooter on rails. This could have been done brilliantly, had the game actually used that setting in a cohesive manner. In reality, the sections were just random clips of the game retrofitted to work using only one weapon. On top of that, the one scene from the game did work like LCT is absent from the game (known as the Giant Bird scene). I understand that the reason is likely because Nintendo forced the player to replay that part 7-8 times in a single play-through, but it is also the only time I've played a Panzer Dragoon clone that didn't blatantly use dragons.
57 minutes after I clicked start, I was done. Completely. I mean, I COULD go for 100%, but that would require playing it.
Total Playing Time: 57 minutes Score: 6.5 (once again, high because I only paid $3)
Katamari Damacy is a rather interesting concoction for the PS2 mixed up by Namco back in 2003. The goal of the game was to create stars using spare material on Earth. However, as it is explained, the inhabitants do not want to be sent into the atmosphere to burn brightly for everyone else to see. This is the King of the Cosmos' problem.
Enter the Prince, in a sincere moment of fatherhood, we learn that the King is making his ultimatium on his child by giving him the task of rolling up these unwilling creatures with a Katamari, or globe of near-infinite stickiness. After a minute of explaining how two joysticks are used to move around the enormous ball, the Prince is thrust onto the earth world and put on a timer. When time is up, the globe must be a certain size, or the King will grow angry with his creation and smash it into stardust; forcing the Prince to start all over again.
At first, there is no reason this game couldn't have been on the PS1, the graphics and colors come straight from 1998 and the need to explore the dual joysticks remind me of 1999 and Ape Escape all over again. Then a miracle happens, the katamari reaches a certain number and the game spazzes out in real time. The Prince has become much more powerful, and those things that were angry with you are now very very afraid.
It's time to roll them up. Every last one.
This is the majesty of Katamari Damacy, a true sense of accomplishment and newfound power can be felt several times a minute. The player is in full control of how exactly everything sent into space. Like the prince, eventually the time comes to stop worrying about their livelihood and think of your own. After all, dad's waiting; and you're not the only prince for the job.
I found this on Amazon for $10. It was a reprint, but the only difference is the game case.
Total Playing Time: 13:10 Score: 8.0

Restaurants in Rome
Although some ethnic food is available, when in Rome, it's best to eat Italian. Rome's traditional cuisine includes offal – try it in the Testaccio district. The area around Piazza Navona offers a choice of upmarket options, including the acclaimed Il Pagliaccio. For atmospheric dining, try Trastevere's osterias, with paper tablecloths and wine in carafes. Last orders are at around 10.30pm. Many places close in August. A cover charge, but not service, is usually included in the bill.
Il Pagliaccio
Italian with Eastern twists
Understated decor in muted colours allows the inspired food to shine at Il
Pagliaccio. This gourmet restaurant, near Piazza Navona in central Rome,
brings Eastern influences to Italian food - and creates exciting flavours in
the process. Try dishes such as sirloin steak with spicy broth, or venison
with ceps, chestnuts and quince.

The mind behind Mariano's.
The concept behind Mariano's Fresh Market was designed with the consumer in mind: to deliver the highest quality products from around the world. CEO Robert Mariano opened his first eponymous grocery store in Arlington Heights (July 2010), and with eight locations in the Chicago area, you'll find just about everything from kosher bagels to Italian mozzarella imported from Caserta. Mariano's neighborly shopping environment is filled with amenities like an Italian coffee shop, a sit-down sushi bar and more. The store's "Shop well. Eat well. Live well" tagline is fitting, as Mr. Mariano and his employees exude the philosophy on a daily basis. Keep reading and you'll see what we mean…
Where did you get the idea for Mariano's? From traveling I'd done throughout Europe. I was working on the concept of a European food hall. There was always a thought to take that and combine it with everyday needs.
How does Mariano's differ from other grocery stores? I just happened to be with a customer who said, 'Here's my impression: I get great quality, I get everything I need in one place, I get people who want to help me, and I get very good prices. You exceed in every level.' I think our customers' responses speak better than I can. Our employees do things day in and day out to wow the customers. And you can't order that or dictate it as management; you have to create the environment so it feels natural and genuine.
How do you manage to give customers quality items for less money? The economic model we've built here is predicated on high-volume units and the notion that food is a staple that nourishes our families. So you must have confidence that the prices are fair. They're not high on some days and low on others, because that adds stress to the customers. No customer wants to pay 50 cents more for something on a certain day.
What do you love most about Mariano's? The soup bar – we make all soups in-house. Those are all our own recipes developed by our executive chef, Sue Becker. And the chicken potpie is extraordinarily great – we make it in our commissary.
And your fried chicken was among Time Out Chicago's 'Top 100 Things We Ate This Year.'Yes, we go through a fair amount of work to make that fried chicken. I believe if we're going to prepare food it has to be done in a traditional way and not with short cuts.
Will we see a Mariano's in every neighborhood soon? We have eight area stores right now, and five are currently under construction: Frankfurt, Harwood Heights, Elmhurst, Wheaton and another store on 16th and Clark will open up later this year. And it looks like another four to five will open in 2014. Our goal in the next three to five years is to have about 25-30 stores.
Best advice you ever received? Dominick [DiMatteo, owner and founder of Dominick's Finer Foods] used to always say, 'Take care of the customer one at a time.' He'd also say, 'Who is your customer and how are you trying to serve them? Continuously look how to do it better, how to do it more relevant to your customer.'
Fave restaurant hidden gem? Piccolo Sogno.
Share the next food trend. We're in the middle of it – the notion that today's customer is interested in meals. For us it's not product, it's meals. They think about, 'Where do I go eat?' So it's different than 15-20 years ago, when they'd come and buy all the ingredients.
Where do you see yourself in five years? Well, not golfing and not sailing. I open grocery stores, so I'll probably be doing about the same.
Best part of your job? Watching people be successful. Watching people serve customers, the smiles on customers' faces, the genuine thanks they see and the pride that the employees see. Mariano's is its own community.

Just for MicroBeta, I'm revising the Design Error item to say:
• The remote will not repeat automatically unless you hold down a key for a full 3 seconds.
I hope that's clear.
Ok.Trying to slide up/down in a list, a menu, or the Guide, one item at a time.
I've never seen it do that. I just tried in the playlist and guide on four different receivers and it does not do that. AFAIK, it never has.
For me it takes about a second, and I'm pretty sure the delay is to make sure you don't start scrolling when you don't intend to.
AAMOF, it's really darned quick on my HR24 and H24.
I almost exclusively use a universal remote but I used the DirecTV remote for this test.

'Tis the season for tears | The extraordinary, untold story of Marta Vieira da Silva
Dois Riachos, Brazil, Dec 28 | Marta Vieira da Silva, proclaimed by FIFA on Dec 18 as the best player in women's soccer, has been on the road for much of the past six years.
Beginning at 14, when she followed a path from the nordeste to Rio de Janeiro, seeking opportunity with Vasco da Gama, she has played around the world for age-group and the full Brazilian national team and now, professionally, for Umeå IK in Sweden. The journey took her to the Zurich Opera House last Monday night for recognition, at 20, on a gilded stage and with a golden trophy.

Bobby Thomson hits the "shot heard 'round the world," Woody Guthrie passes away, Germany comes together, and O.J. Simpson is found not guilty, all on this day.
1996: The day after David Lee Roth released an open letter apologizing to the media and the fans, stating that he was an unwitting participant in a Van Halen publicity stunt after recording a couple of songs for a greatest hits package and making an MTV Video Music Awards appearance (pictured), the rest of the band issues their own statement, saying they never suggested to Roth he was guaranteed to be the band's next lead singer following the June 1996 departure of Sammy Hagar, who had replaced Roth in 1985. This marked the second time Roth would be dismissed from the band.

EuroFresh Inc. officials want to keep the company operating pending its sale to NatureSweet, and have indicated in bankruptcy documents they want to pay Perishable Agricultural Commodity Act creditors as soon as possible.
Along with its bankruptcy filing on Jan. 27, Eurofresh filed a number of motions requesting permission to continue paying employees and operating expenses such as utility bills and shipping costs.
The Willcox, Ariz., greenhouse giant also filed a motion asking Judge Eileen Hollowell to allow it to pay produce suppliers who have PACA claims. Eurofresh estimates they owed about $600,000 in PACA claims, incurred before they filed for bankruptcy protection.
The bankruptcy petition states Eurofresh has debts of between $50 million and $100 million, with assets of between $10 million and $50 million. Attorneys representing Eurofresh did not immediately respond to calls for comment on Jan. 29.
Motions in the case were presented Jan. 28 in Tucson, Ariz. As of noon Central time Jan. 29, the judge had not posted any orders regarding the motions.
One motion on the schedule seeks permission to sell the company and its assets to NatureSweet Ltd., San Antonio.
The sale price, according to the motion, is $51.1 million. It would include the 318 acres of EuroFresh tomato/cucumber greenhouses, as well as the company's other real and intellectual property.
"The purchase agreement provides that the purchaser will offer to employ all employees, provided that the purchaser will not be obligated to retain employees after the closing date," the motion states.
Motions from Eurofresh detail the company's financial troubles, which date back to at least 2009 when it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy debt reorganization.
That reorganization was necessary because of a "highly leveraged balance sheet," high interest costs, reduced production volumes because of a plant disease, and high energy prices in 2005, 2006 and 2008, according to the motion. Another factor cited for financial problems was higher employee costs related to immigration issues.
"The debtor emerged from Chapter 11 in Nov. 2009 with a lower level of debt and new ownership comprised of its pre-petition bondholders and Johan van den Berg who invested new capital," according to the motion.
Eurofresh Inc. owns a total of 318 acres of greenhouses, including these in Willcox, Ariz."Over the next two years, the debtor resolved its operating issues only to face a widespread pricing decline in the industry resulting from increased greenhouse acreage in the U.S. and Canada, increased 'shade' tomatoes crossing the border from Mexico, and extremely mild weather," according to the motion.
