Walter Owen Bentley, more commonly known as W.O. Bentley, was educated at Clifton College in Bristol and worked several jobs before building his first motorized transport - a Quadrant motorcycle. As time progressed so did his motorbikes. As they got better, he entered them in touring events and races; during one such campaign, he was awarded a gold medal for completing the London to Edinburgh trial. In 1909 he competed in the Tourist Trophy but crashed on the first lap. In 1910 he purchased a Riley 9hp car and in 1911 purchased a French Sizaire-naudin. Not satisfied with these vehicles and feeling he could create a better car; he formed a partnership with his bother, Horace Milner Bentley, in March of 1912. He focused heavily on racing in the years to come, competing in hill climbs, endurance races, time trials, and many other events. During the First World War, W.O. Bentley used his skill in modifying aero engines used by the Royal Naval Air Service. Later, he built aero engines of his own design. After the war he began work on a new engine which was completed by September of 1919. The four-cylinder unit had a displacement size of 2996cc and developed maximum power at just 3500 rpm. After sufficient testing was performed, a mock-up chassis was created for the Olympia Motor Show in London. It was an impressive machine that received much attention and praise. The 3.0-liter Bentley was later succeeded by 4.5- and 6.5-liter versions. And finally, between 1930 and 1931, the 8-liter was produced. The 8-Liter Bentley's were very impressive machines that were, in respects, an enlarged version of the successful Speed Six models. They had a lowered chassis frame and an 'F' series gearbox. Larger bearings were used to increase strength and reduce engine noise. The top-gear speed range was 3.5:1 and the six-cylinder engine had a bore of 110 mm and a stroke of 140mm. The first 8-Liter Bentley was shown at the Olympia Motor Show in October of 1930. Their appearance and stature was awe-inspiring - but equally as impressive was the vehicles performance. When fitted with a limousine body and carrying eight people, the 8-Liter Bentley's could still race to 100 mph. This was during an era when the 100 mph was nearly untouchable for road-going vehicles. Bentley had a car that could outpace the competition and could rival the most exotic and luxurious car on the market. However, what they were unable to do was avoid the poor economic conditions of the time, nor their poor financial position. By 1931, the Bentley automaker notified London Life they were unable to make their mortgage payment - in other words, they company was broke. The company's assets were purchased by Rolls-Royce which provided sufficient funding for the Bentley marque to continue. The first Rolls-Royce built Bentley was the 3.5-liter which would later become known as the 'The Silent Sports Car.' Chassis number YR5076 was sent to W.B. Henderson of Somerset, England on January 3rd of 1931. Its first owner was G.R. Wilson and Lt. Col. A.J.A. Beck. In 1953 it was sent to the United States to Leo Pavelle from New York. Ownership later passed to Bill Klein. It passed through several other US owners, and even made an appearance at the 1989 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. In 1995 it returned back to the United Kingdom when it was sold to Richard Procter. By this point in history, it had been driven 43,000 miles since new. While in Mr. Procter's care, the car was treated to a restoration. After completion, ownership passed to Mr. William Connor II in Hong Kong. In 2008 the car was brought to the Automobiles of Amelia presented by RM Auctions where it was certainly one of the highlights of the event. Its $2.2 million selling price, including buyer's premium, was the second highest of the auction. It is a very rare car and one of the greatest examples of the Bentley pre-Rolls-Royce acquisition.

The Bentley 8-Litre was an enlarged version of the Speed Six. It had a six-cylinder engine with a bore and stroke of 110 mm by 140 mm respectively, and a top gear speed range of a minimum of 6 mph and a maximum of 104 mph. It had acceleration capability of 10 to 100 mph in 50 seconds with a fully equipped saloon body. Only one hundred 8-Litre Bentleys were built. The car presented here has its original open tourer coachwork. This handsome car has velvet green paintwork with a green leather interior. The 8-Litre was the last car designed by W.O. Bentley and of the 100 examples built, 78 are still in existence today. Only sixteen 8-Litres were built with open bodywork - six drophead coupes and ten tourers - and only twelve of these open cars survive today with their original coachwork. This is indeed a rare car. This car was delivered to the original owner in Somerset, England on January 3, 1931. It was shipped to the United States in 1953. In 1995, the car's odometer read only 43,000. The Bentley was restored at that time and was repainted and re-trimmed. |

Opposed to FILM_BribesSubmitted by Stormy Weather (not verified) on Mon, 07/12/2010 - 4:40pm.
Government should not be spreading around taxpayer money to favorite industries. The business climate for ALL should be improved by lowering taxes, promoting education, and reducing crime. If the argument is to made that the NC film industry can only survive by paying bribes, excuse me, "incentives", then the money should come from the film industry via a surtax on movie tickets. Let the consumers (customers) pay for the incentives. The funds should not come from all taxpayers for the benefit of a few. »

Apparently I hit a chord with my readers this May when I posted "Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse." The initial response was overwhelming, with people of all ages and all walks of life writing and calling to say how much they enjoyed reading the blog and how they were getting prepared for any emergency, whether it be hurricanes, floods, or yes even a zombie apocalypse. The response hasn't slowed down and that has made me wonder what it is about zombies that is so intriguing? Recently, I had a chance to talk to a veritable zombie expert, Max Brooks, and asked him a few questions about the topic now dear to both our hearts…zombies.
On the off chance you don't know who Max Brooks is, he's the author of The Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, which will be acted out on the silver screen December 2012 by A-Lister Brad Pitt. Since we share a common interest in the undead I thought I'd pick Max's brain about how he became interested in the topic and why zombies are so entrenched in popular culture now a days.
The Interview
First, I have to ask, what's your favorite zombie movie?
BROOKS: The original "Dawn of the Dead" by George A. Romero. I've always been big on social commentary and I don't think you can find a movie (of ANY genre) that dealt more accurately with the death of triumph of 1970s consumerism over 1960s idealism. I think Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" and Oliver Stone's "Wall Street" have nothing on "DOTD" when it comes to indicting short-sighted greed.
You've been working with zombies, for quite a while now, what first got you interested?
BROOKS: It was a childhood phobia that evolved into an adult fascination. As I got older I realized that zombie stories were a powerful tool for examining real world issues. Because zombies are a macro-threat, (as opposed to say, a single werewolf/vampire micro threat), they can kill people by simply disrupting the slender threads that hold society together. In a zombie outbreak, how many people would die from starvation, dehydration, and unhygienic living conditions?
The notion of a walking plague also terrifies me, and that comes from growing in the 1980s. When I was a kid, I watched AIDS go from an obscure, arcane curiosity to a global pandemic. What drove me crazy was that unlike the Black Death or the Spanish Influenza, AIDS could have simply been stopped by a pamphlet: A couple dos and don'ts, a little education and clear-headed leadership and it might have ended up as a footnote in a virologists' medical text. If that's not zombies, I don't know what is. Like AIDS, they're very easy to stop, and with the right clear-headed leadership, they could be wiped out before ever becoming a threat. But in zombie stories, we don't have that kind of leadership, or education, or organization. Humanity makes one mistake after another and before you know it, there's a global pandemic. In the original "Dawn of the Dead," a scientist is screaming that "We've got be logical! We've got to be rational! It's the only way to survive!" A decade later, a lot of real scientists said the same thing about AIDS.
Until I blogged about zombies I had no idea there were so many groups working on projects involving zombies, from actors and singers to school teachers, it seemed like everyone had zombies on the brain. Why do you think zombies are so popular? Are they the new vampire or are they bigger?
BROOKS: I think zombie stories express the current societal anxieties we're all confronting on a daily basis. The last time zombies were popular were the 1970s. It was a time of transitions, and some of them were quite scary. You had terrorism, controversial wars, economic malaise, environmental concerns and a deep social divide not seen since the Civil War. All those problems seemed to dissipate (along with zombie interest) in the 80s and 90s. Now they're all back, and new and improved. A lot of people have disaster preparedness on the brain, and it's a lot "safer", psychologically to ruminate on a zombie disaster rather than, say, a hurricane or an earthquake induced tsunami. When confronted with real anxiety, a lot of people shut down. For them, planning for an actual crisis is just too scary, too paralyzing to think about. Make it a zombie attack, though, then there's some psychological padding. Ask someone to plan for swine flu quarantine, you'll get "that's such a downer." Ask them to plan for a zombie siege and you'll get "that'd be awesome!"
Your book and upcoming movie, World War Z, follows a reporter during a zombie apocalypse. While you were writing the story you must have thought a lot about what you would do if zombies ever started roaming the streets again. If you were going to prepare for a scenario like the one in World War Z, what would you put in your emergency kit?
BROOKS: Everything I already have in my Earthquake survival kit. I grew up in Southern California and disaster preparedness was drilled into everyday life. We had earthquake drills, earthquake kits, earthquake plans both at home and at school. Living in L.A. we also had to prepare for the occasional forest fire, flash flood, rolling blackout and Rodney King riot. The great thing about the undead is that a zombie survival kit doesn't need anything 'zombie specific'. No cross, no garlic, no silver bullets (unless you plan to trade the silver for penicillin). Everything you need for a zombie attack, you'd need for any large scale disaster. When I wrote, in "The Zombie Survival Guide" about getting first aid kid, a hand crank radio/flashlight, an emergency blanket, bottled water (and some means of purifying more!), I didn't have to look any farther than what's already sitting in a backpack under my bed.
That's so true, I hope people will continue to see that if you're prepared for a zombie apocalypse you're prepared for any emergency. In fact, for those of you with kids, it might be easier to convince your family to put together an emergency kit and plan if you tell them you want to be prepared for zombies (sort of like telling kids spinach really will give them muscles like Popeye.)
A big thank you to Max for talking to me about the undead. I hope you all enjoyed reading, if you can't get enough zombies check out our zombie page for information on posters, graphic novels, and more from CDC. Or visit Max's website for more on his zombie projects, including the new paperback edition of World War Z.

If you're considering adopting a cat this is a great time to do it.
Many Central Coast animal shelters say they're at full capacity.
Kittens, born in the spring during kitten season, are now growing into adults, making them harder to adopt.
So this month, Woods Humane Society is waiving adoption fees.
The same is true for North County Humane Society. Their adoption fee is $100 and all cats are spay or neutered, vaccinated, and micro-chipped.

For instance, you can read a humidity sensor connected to a potted plant and turn on an automatic watering system if it gets too dry. Or, you can make a stand-alone chat server which is plugged into your internet router. Or, you can have it tweet every time your cat passes through a pet door. Or, you can have it start a pot of coffee when your alarm goes off in the morning.
Basically, if there is something that is in any way controlled by electricity, the Arduino can interface with it in some manner. And even if it is not controlled by electricity, you can probably still use things which are (like motors and electromagnets), to interface with it.
The possibilities of the Arduino are almost limitless. As such, there is no way that one single tutorial can cover everything you might ever need to know. That said, I've done my best to give a basic overview of the fundamental skills and knowledge that you need to get your Arduino up and running. If nothing more, this should function as a springboard into further experimentation and learning.

Thanks! This is a great place to get started in the amazing world of Arduino. Bookmarked.
yes its possible...it will cost you around $8,here is the link
I did select the Uno as my board. I reset it, I unplugged and replugged.
I still cannot get the serial port to allow me to make a choice.
The same thing happened to me, I had to reinstall the drivers. This helped
my arduino does not seem to be connecting to the program i selected arduino uno and the program wont let me select a serial port NEED HELP PLEASE!!!
I must say awesome article. The tutorial is fantastic very clear and understandable. The way you write is awesome. I understand almost everything what you taught in this tutorial. I must say thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge.
It must say awesome article. The tutorial is fantastic very clear and understandable. The way you write is awesome. I understand almost everything what you taught in this tutorial. I must say thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge.
Was guessing if there's a way you can bring me some starying data about Arduino, just like this you're publishing here, in a pdf format, so I can study it offline.
I have a project that needs to contrlol relays to switch on/of 12volts.
Can Arduino capable of doing multi-switching (9 or 12 volts) around 6 to 10 switches?
I don't often open my account, would it be better to give me a reply on my mail?
at firstname.lastname@example.com....Thank you very much.
An Arduino is an open-source microcontroller development board. In plain English, you can use the Arduino to read sensors and control things like motors and lights. This allows you to upload programs to this board which can then interact with things in the real world. With this, you can make devices which respond and react to the world at large.
A microcontroller is a computer chip, which is like a mini computer that controls things.
You attach microcontrollers (and other components) to PCB boards.
-What would be the best starter project for arduino?
-Do you recommend any particular books or ibles on this subject?
-Does a computer have to have USB 2.0 ports to operate an arduino?
(Mine only has USB 1.0 ports.)
if anybody has any other advice, please leave a comment below.
I recommend this one ;-)
...but you should try searching the site for some of the Arduino guides and eBooks. Those are pretty good. Also, arduino.cc has a ton of useful information. It just takes a little digging through.
What do you ultimately want to make with an Arduino? Once I have a sense of that, I can probably recommend some intro projects that might help you.

Laboratory of Biomolecular Mechanisms
Laboratory leader: Steven Wood 301-796-0243 firstname.lastname@example.com
There has been substantial progress in determining the effect of hyaluronic acid (HA) samples of different molecular weights on RAW 264.7 inflammatory nitric oxide response to specific amounts of endotoxin +/- gamma-interferon. Several samples of HA were assayed for their endotoxin levels using the kinetic chromogenic limulus lysate assay. No direct effect of HA on the macrophage cell line has been observed; however, the endotoxin response of RAW 264.7 is under some circumstances increased---and more so if interferon gamma is present. These early data in the project agree with preliminary pilot experiments that HA may be enhancing ongoing inflammatory responses but may not be directly causing inflammation.
New genomic and genetic technologies are expected to impact CDRH in major ways. The Center is beginning to receive submissions of genomic and genetic diagnostic microarray devices and expects more--some in co-development with drug or biological therapeutics. In addition, these technologies will be used to evaluate the safety of products such as implants and materials (toxico-genomics). However, considerable technical uncertainties impede the acceptance of these products and data. The Genomics Laboratory is providing support to the Center via 1) prioritization of the technical issues affecting microarray data that impact product review, and 2) application of the new technologies to both new and long-standing problems, including medical device adverse events, identification of medical device pathogen contaminants, and safety evaluation of products. Additionally, the Cell Biology Laboratory is investigating immunotoxicity related to particular patient susceptibility, in regards to biomaterials and devices that contact patient blood.

Walk a mile in my shoes
James Whitmore, managing director at Postar, was in the audience at MediaTel's Connected Consumer conference on Monday. He urges the use of plain speaking in making this connected marketplace more accessible to consumers... whilst using a few long words of his own !
The philosophy of communication. This may not be what MediaTel had in mind when they hosted a discussion about "how to reach the connected consumer" but it is what caught my imagination.
I blame Mark Cross, panel member and erstwhile COI bigwig. (In a previous life, he also endured a short period as my boss, although his career has since recovered.)
Not only does he have a wonderfully tautological name, his new job title is like a question from a philosophy exam. This is not an easy and cheap jibe at the over-inflated, flowery and nonsensical things we call ourselves. Mark is on a higher and more serious plain.
"Senior Partner, Equal."
I was so intrigued by this that I missed most of what he had to say. My mind was now attuned to the meaning of words.
The intention of the morning that I attended was to debate how best to reach the connected consumer and to discuss the merits of the various business models that hope to succeed in doing so.
As often with this sort of event, enthusiasm for the technology and excitement about the money to be made threatened to dwarf the other side of the equation - the poor old consumer. The business opportunity will come to naught unless the technology fulfils an accepted and understood customer need.
Many, many years ago I "did time" in the classified ad department of a national newspaper. It was run like the galley of a Roman trireme. Stripped to the waist and deprived of water and victuals, we were forced to intone, "To sell Joe Bloggs what Joe Bloggs buys, one must see Joe Bloggs through Joe Bloggs' eyes".
As a maxim, it may be trite but it rings true. You'll never sell anything if you don't give some serious thought to what it is like to be the person who might possibly buy from you.
The seminar audience accepted what was meant by "content proposition points of view; ecosystem-centric strategies; apps presenting up; distribution windowing; over-the-top operators; 24/7 mantras" and so on. This may be fine as shorthand between practitioners but it begs the question why some sectors of the media industry treat English as a second tongue, only to be attempted when talking to their customers. One would have thought that if you can disambiguate the language at its source you would have a far better opportunity of making yourself understood in the world at large.
The more memorable contributions to the debate were plainly spoken. One likened the concurrent consumption of separate media streams, so called "dual-screening", to the ancient practice of knitting when the telly was on. Watching TV at the same time as titting about on a mobile telephone or tablet computer is perhaps the modern equivalent of knitting whilst you watch. It is a displacement activity. The image is clear.
There is a need to properly understand the nature of concurrent activity before leaping to the conclusion that this must be a goldmine for advertisers. It was suggested that only if the second device had relevance to the first - for example, it acted to change TV channels or to enter related competitions - would it actually offer an opportunity for connected commercial communication. Without this link, a person's interaction with a second screen is most likely to reflect a degree of disengagement from the first screen or device. This might not be such a good place to seek a commercial opportunity.
More fish in a pond do not lead to a bigger pond. It is the customer that will dictate the pace as well as determining how the various "connectable" media are actually used. More often than not, they will seek the assurance of trusted brands to bring coherence to the choices on offer. Disappointingly for commercial interests, for many people, less will be enough.

A logo is the base of a company's brand identity and global recognition but with change in time and growing competition, companies have started sprucing up their logos.

The redesigning is such a crucial process that you never know ...
As a passionate cinema go'er I always enjoy viewing these amazing movie posters to judge what kind of movie it would. Being a designer, I believe nothing better than a poster can advertise a movie but unfortunately it is a form of art, which has been forgotten.

Logos…The world seems like a colorful pastry with all these lively emblems all around us. No one can deny the fact that a proper logo is one of the simplest ways to create brand recognition because a visual symbol is more memorable than words.

Lyndon folding patio doors feature contemporary design with all security and safety features at a very competitive price. Constructed from premium selected softwood
"My only gripe with these doors is the instructions particularly with regard to fixing the frame. The instructions were ambiguous and not clear when it came to which fixings to use in what situations. At one stage you are asked to fix the frame to the wall but it was not clear if it meant actually drilling through the frame itself or using only the steel straps that I had already attached to the backside of the frame. I spent too long reading the instructions in an effort to understand them. Next time I will be able to do it all in half the time. The other gripe is that I took the frame measurements from the website and allowed a 5mm gap in the opening I made. Having attached the holed and countersunk straps to the frame, it would not fit the opening. So I needed to modify the opening to allow it to fit. It should be made clear on the website page that 10mm should be allowed around the whole frame. However, when we finally had the doors hung they looked brilliant and glide like a dream. I presume that when finally the glass units become unsealed, you have to buy a new door??"
"Received these doors but the paint work on one around the glass was v bad with flaking and paint on the glass. The seal on another had come away and the paint wasn't great on that one either. The other also had damaged seal and poor paint work. Got replacements and these were better but seal still squashed on 2 of them and paint could be better. We were v careful to lie them flat to protect the seal but they came damaged. The seal should be covered in polystyrene to protect it."
"Great looking door, fits really well, just a shame that after 3 weeks and 2 locking mechanisms neither myself or my builder can make the lock work as such the door is still not secure and does not lock, so perfect timing to be asked to write a review, perhaps this will encourage Wickes to deal issues far quicker and send someone round to deal with this - then you would have had a glowing review - oh well."

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Gretel!
Facts about Gretel
- Breed: Domestic Longhair
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Long
Gretel's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Gretel is a sweet and loving kitten who spends her days playing with her sister, Georgia. Gretel and Georgia would love to find a forever home together as they are bonded. If you have room in your heart and your home, please consider these two sweeties.
Other Pets at Cat Sense, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Gretel, a Murrysville Domestic Longhair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Longhair for sale in Murrysville, or seeking a Domestic Longhair kitten from a breeder in Murrysville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Murrysville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Murrysville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Longhair breeders who help with Domestic Longhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Murrysville paves the way for another one to be saved.

Cataclysm Live Beta Stream: Choose My Adventure, Horde edition
Note: The stream is of the Cataclysm beta. It and the chat below are full of spoilers. You have been warned.
Update: The stream is now over. If you wish to watch the video replay, please click on the picture above.
Hello, and welcome to the live version of Choose My Adventure (beta edition). It's Wednesday, so the stream will be for the Horde! The winner of the polls was Roblinator, the goblin shaman, which is unfortunate. She is stuck. Very, very stuck. I didn't do the workaround when I should have and now she can't move on to Lost Isles. Obviously, I'm going to have to start her over again (beta is beta). So today, barring a miracle, I will be playing Robinemia.
Join me after the break while I narrate, read quests and take requests from the chat room. The show will run for at least an hour and be viewable on video, if you weren't able to watch it live. Also after the break are polls and some notes.

Some names are long and some are short. Play this little concentration game to help your preschoolers recognize their own name and the names of their classmates.
To prepared the game…
- Print each child's name (upper and lower case) on a two separate sentence strips.
- Cut one name apart leaving one letter of each child's name on a card.
To play the game…
- Mix all the letter cards of each child's name that is participating.
- Turn all the letter cards over in the center of the table.
- Have the children place their name card in front of them.
- Each child takes a turn drawing a card.
- If the card they turn over is a letter in his or her name then they keep the card and put it on or under their name card.
- Keep playing until everyone has found the letters in their name.
This isn't a win or lose game – the idea is to have the children help each other find, recognize, and build their name one letter at a time!

« December 2008 Table of Contents
Stan Crais is competitive by nature - he once battled a 38-pound wahoo on a hand line and had it mounted for his son. Such tenacity may explain Crais' ability to endure 35 years in the seafood industry. He joined Performance Food Group of Richmond, Va., a couple of years ago as the national frozen and seafood category manager. Crais' position at PFG, one of the biggest U.S. broadline distributors, requires a busy pace and long hours. But Crais doesn't seem to mind.
"A sense of ownership and pride are probably the best two character traits one needs in this sector of the business," says Crais, 52, who oversees a warehouse that supplies the company's 17 locations nationwide. "It'll never get done right [otherwise]. We're all pretty much Type A personalities - very competitive, even internally."
PFG, which provides everything from frozen shrimp to silverware to more than 41,000 foodservice companies, is poised for growth. Earlier this year, the company was acquired for $1.3 billion by venture-capital investment firms Blackstone Group and Wellspring Capital Management, which already owned distributor Vistar Corp. PFG is now being fused with Vistar's Roma Food, an Italian-specialty distributor, a union that has a combined 31 distribution centers and annual revenues of $10 billion.
Crais, who was previously VP at Atlanta-based food cooperative UniPro, is excited about the opportunities that the growing company offers. Still, he speaks fondly of the days he was a "Bubba Gump" working on a shrimp boat in his native Louisiana, even though the seafood industry of those days is a shell of its former self.
"It was very easy to make money then - you didn't have the high fuel costs. There were very few days when you didn't cover the cost of the boat itself," says Crais. "Today, at $3 plus a gallon for diesel, you gotta catch a lot of shrimp just to break even. When I head down South now, I see a lot of boats just tied up."
These days, Crais is tied up with a daily regimen of at least 130 inbound e-mails and 50 incoming phone calls from customers and within his distribution network. He squeezed me into his busy schedule in late October to talk about frozen food, carbon footprints and, of course, college football.
CRAIS : It's our job to source product, work with our quality assurance team and also be heavily involved in merchandising the product to our distributor sales reps around the country. Our job doesn't end at buying; it ultimately ends when the restaurant sells [the product] to their customers. We're involved in purchasing, sales and marketing of everything we do. As a result, we're expected to be experts on everything. We just have a lot of answers.
All seafood, most of which is frozen, and I oversee everything in the freezer with the exception of meat proteins. Everything else that goes in the freezer would be me, including ice cream, desserts, vegetables and appetizers.
Poultry, meat, grocery, seafood and frozen, canned goods and equipment and supplies. At the end of the day, I'm competing with our other center-of-plate categories. A restaurant operator only has so many dollars to spend, so I'm trying to draw attention to my category.
We're lean and mean here. The entire department, including me, is three people. We have a project manager who's responsible for baked goods and another who is the manager for the warehouse itself. He places orders for supplies and oversees outbound shipments as well.
Most of our customers are mid-scale, family-casual restaurants. We're seeing a lot of movement to bake and broil products; they're getting away from frying. If a product is breaded, it's lightly breaded with crumbs. [We use] a lot of ethnic seasonings with tilapia, catfish and shrimp. One thing about shrimp is there are very few menus that [don't feature it] in one form or fashion.
On an average day, we're involved with about 300 to 400 species between finfish and shellfish. It's pretty in-depth. A large part of our business is shrimp, but we deal with eel, monkfish, tuna, you name it.
One of the bigger issues facing us is continually demonstrating to our restaurants that there are times of the year when they really should change their menu. [Certain species are] a better value at certain times of the year. The restaurants that have a harder time at remaining profitable are the ones that don't want to change their menu, which you need to do to bring consumers back for multiple visits. It's one of the drawbacks of a chain.
I would hope so. When people buy beef that's 30 days old they can say it's aged. Seafood that's 30 days old is rotten - it doesn't get better with age. But if it's frozen 45 minutes after being caught, when you thaw it out 45 days later, it's still 45 minutes old. Flash-freezing is a form of preservation, not processing. When you just throw leftover fish in the freezer, the cell structure will be destroyed.
We were looking at that before it was the "in" thing to do. We want to be as environmentally friendly as possible based on the technology that exists. Our trucks don't go faster than 62 mph because we've determined that's their maximum fuel efficiency. For years, we've been doing things that have impacted our carbon footprint, like maximizing our inbound freight and buying full containers or truckloads to reduce the cost and impact.

The Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) has no policy regarding partnered couples co-facilitating Our Whole Lives (OWL) programs. This is a congregational decision. Couples have successfully led OWL in many congregations. Occasionally, couple leadership has been problematic. Among the factors to consider:
Some congregations do not allow couples to co-facilitate any curricula together without other co-facilitators, citing these safety and legal concerns:
It should be noted that having other co-facilitators in addition to a couple can address many of the above concerns about safety, diversity, and logistics.

Hi to all!
I'm new to this forums and I'm really glad I found such a good comunity; I have been reading some of the old posts and they are wonderful. Anyway, I'm 27 and planning to marry my girlfriend (same age, divorced and with a 2.5yrs beautiful daughter) on Feb next year :) What worries us a little bit is that we are somewhat different when it comes to showing affections, specially in the day to day.
Oh yes, comunication is a top priority for us, it is a non-negotiable thing for us, so that's not a problem. Thank you for your time

Follow-Up Postings:
"Communication" is fine. However, it doesn't cover the ground. If you need what your intended can't provide, that's the ball game. Not that you're great and she's bad -- it's just a mismatch. That kind of mis-match can be critical. "What worries us a little bit is that we are somewhat different when it comes to showing affections, specially in the day to day." Know what? That's how you live your life -- day-to-day. Every day. Day after day. I'm not sure I've got the whole picture but from this little bit I would advise you that this worry you've described can be a killer. By all means see a counselor. And listen to what they say. |
And here's the other thing to think about...she sounds a little scared from the first marriage. Just keep showing it and she will catch on. My dh of 26 years came from a non showy family also, it gets easier as the years go. He now is huggy most of the time. Our boys are not....but they always used to be. Could be cause they are 20 and 23.... Karen L |
- Posted by vickey__mn (My Page) on Sat, Apr 8, 06 at 10:16
I also "read into" this message, so I could be wrong... You said that that even though she showed affection it wasn't the same way as you. Specifically you said "even thou she shows love in a thousand different ways" WOW that's a LOT, but yet you make it sound like that isn't enough so I have to wonder why, and the only thing I can come up with when "a thousand different ways" can't be enough is ....because it isn't the way you do, and some people feel that if they are not shown affection the way they show affection it's not "RIGHT". (my husband and I had to work through this so that's why I have this speculation) Now did I "Love his less" because I wasn't in my words "clingy" to him...NO, clingy made me feel uncomfortable. So we've come to a common ground over the years (as Karen SL mentioned He and I caught on over the years). Just food for thought Vickey-MN |
First of all, thank you very much for your replies, they are truly apreciated! I don't want to give the impression that I'm complaining about my fiancee's behavior; we are both aware of our differences and want to start working on them as soon as possible so they won't affect badly our marriage. As much as I can feel unconfortable due to the differences, so can she and I want her to be truly happy with me and never feel asphyxiated by my "huggyness". Those of you that live/lived a similar situation, how did you find a common ground? Best regards |

I once heard a man tell his son "Don't marry the girl you can live with; marry the girl you can't live without" It sounds like you feel this way. Does she? If you both feel this way then I think any other obstacles will be overcome. My first marraige was to a man 'I could live with'. It was 20 years of work. My second is to a man I can't live without. It is his second as well. Don't get me wrong - we still have our problems - but it is so much easier to deal with them when we know the bottom line is that we just can't stand to be apart. |
I can understand where you're coming from (well, more where she's coming from). My husband is very huggy and physically demonstrative...I am not -- due to a lack of such of demonstrativeness in my family, as well as some sexual abuse history on my part. I personally start to feel physically threatened or uncomfortable if someone, including my husband, invades my personal space when I'm not expecting it, or not "in the mood" for it. This is something we've had to overcome, by both compromising -- I push my physical comfort boundaries whenever possible, and he knows not to push me when I ask him not to. The important thing is for both of you to be aware of this issue, and work together towards a mutally comfortable level of affection -- it is possible for those of us who are "colder" to learn to appreciate snuggling on the couch for a while, and for those that are more physically demonstrative to occasionally just say "I love you" without diving in for a hug every time. I think it's very important that you find out if you can make each other happy in this regard before you get married. I do also think that lack of physical affection can be a sign of a major issue in the relationship, though, if it's accompanied by actual physical pushing away by one partner, or a refusal to discuss the situation. My poor brother-in-law was married to a woman that would push him away if he came over to hug her, and they had no sex life (they just recently divorced; not a surprise to any of us who had seen how she avoided ever being close to him). If the lack of demonstrativeness is extending into all areas of your romantic life, then you have a major problem. |
Oh yes, she's definetly a woman I can't live without! I feel as she was made exactly for me as being with her is very easy and natural for me; sometimes I feel so much love for her that it almost hurts... well, those of you that live with somebody you couldn't live without know the feeling ;). rivkadr, there's definetly a lof of demonstrativeness in our relationship, both ways; so I think this is something we can work out and not a mayor problem. Well, it somehows feel good to know that we are not alone with our differences. Thank you again for your replies! |

Domy, As long as she feels the same way you should be O.K.. Best of luck to you both. |
- Posted by april_bloom (My Page) on Tue, May 23, 06 at 16:38
One word, COMPROMISE, on both sides. She needs to learn to stroke you, and you need to learn when to back off. Sounds like you have the makings for a good marriage otherwise! |
Domy I think you are wonderful, thinking about all this before you get married. It has taken me years to figure all this out whilst being married. I think you should work out what actions show affection. I know for me I love being hugged from behind and gently kissed on my neck. I love my hand being held and patted. I want to be kissed when I am going out, and coming home. A gentle hand at the bottom of my back. Words also come into it, encouragement, interest, compromosing. Lots more. I dont think I would feel comfortable sitting on my brother's lap! But I guess its what you are used to. I have a friend whose husband is always kissing her, and professing love, in front of other people. I think she finds this a bit embarassing. Its a bit obessesive. You are starting off on the right road to marriage, all the best to you. One more thing I wondered...how does she show affection to her daughter ? Maybe you could think about that as well. Take care. |
There is a book called Love Languages or something like that. It talks about the different ways that people show love. Usually people SHOW love in they way in which they want to receive it but it usually is NOT what the other person wants. This book teaches your to recognize these love languages and how to satisfy the person you love in the way that makes them FEEL loved. I suggest it for all couples. |
Update: well, we started seeing the pre-marriage counselor and it is somehow helping us; I say "somehow" because we feel that we have achieved more by openly discussing how we feel than by seeing the couselor. The counselor is definetly a welcome help, but 80% of work must come from the couple itself (obviously). Anyway, as time passes we are more and more in tune; she's tender with me and I respect her when she want's to be a little more by herself. When one of the two feels unconfortable, it just says so to the other one. Again, thank you all for your inputs! 213 more days to go for the big day! :) Regards Domy PS: at the risk of starting a flame war, I'll add that reading togheter Cosmopolitan (yes, the magazine...) can do wonders to a couple's life! *wink* |
Glad to hear things are going well for you and that you both have input into how to make your communication tip top. "when something's wrong, it's important to make sure the other person knows about it. " - I totally agree with you here. My DH and I had this exact conflict this week....he says I should tell him if I an unhappy about something, but I get myself into a mess 'cause I dont want to upset people and then I dont say what I really think. I realize now this is not the way to go, as the situation can build resentment after a while. Its important to work at sharpening your communication skills. Its very exhausting sometimes ! All the best to you, my friend. Popi |

I am a complete novice gardener and would love to be able to take a cutting from a 40 year old rose bush in my front garden (blooms every year)so that I have have the same variety in my newly landscaped rear garden.
How do I do this, and when is the best time? Thanks in advance for any advice. Yvonne |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Yvonne, It is not at all difficult. I've done this many times. Choose a straight stem and cut off about 12inches from the top just below a leaf node. Pull off the leaves along the stem and leave just two at the top. Dig your spade into the ground where you want it to grow, wiggle it about to form a narrow hole and bury about six inches of the cutting into this wedge. Firm up the soil around the cutting, name it, water it and watch it grow. Within a few weeks you will see more leaves appear, which is a sign that it has taken. Leave it in this spot until next spring, and then uproot it carefully and replant it. I usually take three cuttings off a plant and share the extras with friends and neighbours. You can use this method for many other perennials too, like ceonothus, clematis, geraniums, potentilla, euonymous, hebes, weigela and even abutilon. Just make sure you pick a healthy straight stem. For other flowers I only use about 6-8 inch stems and they work very well. Do tell us how it goes, |
Thank you. I will give it a go. Yvonne |

Yvonne, l do mine in a similar way, last year l tried this for the first time, l cannot believe how easy it was. My method is this:- cut lengths of rose stem, about 1ft, strip off some of the lower leaves, cut below a leaf joint,dip in hormone rooting powder, and plant up to one third of the stem in a very deep flower pot, about five to a pot. Label them, and stand the pots outside, l did put mine overwinter in the cold greenhouse, but two l just planted in the border, did as well.These were taken last summer and by this summer, they have made bushes, as big as those you buy in pots, and all are flowering. |
Anyone tried rooting apple cuttings? I have to trim a damaged stem off my Red Sentinel crab and it has 3 nice shoots on it. I know they can be grafted but it seems a waste not to try rooting the cuttings. Brian |
Brian, I think a hardy tree like a crab apple might work from a cutting. Why not try it? You might end up getting a different tree to the one you have, but why not? Iona |
For what it's worth there is another method of producing another rose bush and that is by air layering. With a sharp clean kinfe make two parralle cuts about 11/2 inches apart around the circumference of the stem through the cambium layer then connect the two cuts wiyh one long cut and remove ring of bark exposing woody tissue. Apply sphagnum moss (moist not wet) to the wound and then wrap in clear polythene wrapper. Tie off both ends to stop moisture escape and to curtail pathogen invasion. From this wound adventious roots will form and when this occurs cut off just below root formation and plant out new plant where required. |

Is it too late to do rose cuttings now? Or when all the leaves have fallen? Or is it better to do them in the growing season? |
Growing season. |
- Posted by dampflippers Tyne & Wear UK (My Page) on Sat, Oct 8, 05 at 12:43
I was wondering whether you could just plant your winter prunings. |
Concerning the idea of cuttings from crab apples. You will get an identical plant from a cutting. It's seed where you might get something else. This is, of course, providing you take your cutting from above the graft point if your tree is grafted. Regarding rose cuttings, I have a climbing Buff Beauty grown from a cutting which is fine but if your original bush is grafted on to a vigorous rootstock you may find a cutting on its own roots is weaker growing. |
- Posted by dampflippers Tyne & Wear UK (My Page) on Thu, Sep 13, 07 at 6:21
Rats, forgot to take my rose cuttings earlier in the summer. Is it too late now? I think I'll try anyway, but thought I'd ask. Also, what is the best time to take cuttings from a hazel? Corylus avellana. |
- Posted by andrew_london UK zone 8/9? (My Page) on Sat, Sep 15, 07 at 17:48
The normal time of year to take rose cuttings is autumn. You take a hardwood cutting and bury it either in the ground or in pots in a cold frame until the next autumn. The likely success rate is 50 per cent. Many of the old roses are better from cuttings because they will spread slowly on their own roots - and you don't have to worry about suckers. The problem (as Flora says) comes with Floribundas and Hybrid Teas which may grow weakly. |
- Posted by Angie(email@example.com) onTue, Jun 21, 11 at 15:59
So, what if every likely stem already has buds on it? Do I clip off the buds? Leave them? Wait until fall? Thanks. |
hi, all im new to this forum and just wanted to ask if any one has tied roses from seeds as only 2 of mine came up , and I lost one an d now have just the I which is now about 15 inches tall , how long before it flowers .all so my rose cuttings only 10 out 50 have taken , I put them in pots as I have a sandy soil here. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Sis!
Facts about Sis
- Breed: Pointer Mix
- Color: Brindle - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Sis's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Sis is a good girl who belonged to a person who did not feed her. We noticed her finding food in a dumpster, so took her home. She is a lovely companion, good with dogs, cats, and people. Age about 2 years. Weight about 40 pounds and gaining. Sis has a very dignified way of begging at the table: she just sits quietly and stares with her big brown eyes. Fee $150. Please do the application at morganspot.org to arrange to meet Sis.
Other Pets at Saving pets One at a Time
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sis, a Stockport Pointer dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pointer for sale in Stockport, or seeking a Pointer dog from a breeder in Stockport.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Stockport already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Stockport breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Pointer breeders who help with Pointer rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Stockport paves the way for another one to be saved.

Some quick lessons for this week
1. Any clothes I buy recently seem to have a green, turquoise or floral theme, or occasionally all 3! As part of my jewelery course I had to create an item inspired by a piece of fabric – I came up with this necklace and bracelet, which seems to co-ordinate with lots in my wardrobe!
2. Still love my bathroom and this week our downstairs cloakroom is getting the same treatment! Photos coming soon I hope
3. When you son "helps" his Dad to varnish the garden bench, it would be a good idea to try to remove the varnish from the child sooner rather than later. If not, your child with still look flithy days later, no matter how hard you try to un-varnish him!
4. This week on Britains Got Talent the gymnastic group Spelbound were amazing
5. I learned that it costs £49 PER CHILD to renew their passports! (That's $75 dollars each!) – unfortunately all needed to be renewed before this summer.
5. As promised in the title, here are some more recent creations, coming to an online store (www.janmarydesigns.com!) near you soon!
Summer Brights – Necklace, bracelet and ear-rings
- Free Shipping to anywhere in the world – use code bloggyfriend before 31 May 2010 – so now is the perfect chance to treat yourself or buy a gift for someone else.
Don't see anything you like in my current stock? You can request a custom order in the style and colors of your choice.
For more lessons learned visit From Inmates to Playdates where Julie learned some lessons at the gym this week.
So, back to my first lesson, and the colors I am loving this season, what colors (colours – yes, UK friends, I can still spell!) are you being drawn to this summer? (or winter for those in Oz?).
You know the drill – please share…..I love your comments and try to reply/visit your blog if I can.
17 comments on New Lessons and new jewelery by janmary designs with FREE shipping
Love all the colors…especially red blue and yellow theme (o:
I can just imagine your son with varnish on him
I went to see the kitchen redo and really liked it
good luck with the passports -
Oh I love the turquoise and green (I'm a big fan of anything green).
The same thing goes for paint, get the paint off the kids asap and my old neighbour found out the hard way that it isn't a good idea to leave the dregs of a tin of paint in the back garden to dry out if there happens to be a mop and a grandson nearby. Yep, mopped the patio with gloss paint:)
And eeeep for the passport fee, I hadn't realised it had gone up so much!!!
I love your jewelry. I don't wear much myself, but I may have to rethink that. Carla
The jewelry is beautiful!! I love the green and blue one!!
Your jewelry is absolutely beautiful! Love the turquoise/green, and love the summer brights. Gorgeous.
Thanks for stopping by!
Your jewelry is beautiful as always, JanMary!
It cost almost $90 for a passport here and now we need one (or some type of "extended" license) to get into Canada. UGH.
Well, since you asked. I do not like the current fad of geometric shapes in clothes or the turquoise and brown combos. I tend to buy classic styles that last for years. I do like those little beads you used in these two sets. My favorite is the second one because the colors are more my favorites. Jewel tones, that's me.
Mama Bear -
You've been busy creating lovely pieces!!
YUP- passport fees are ugly -
hope the weather by you is pleasant by now -
can't wait!! -
You amaze me – haha, it will be a bad thing when we get together and lets NOT clue our husbands in about this for they will know that there is going to be a whole lot of creating going on…
Don't you love how creativity, sense of design, colour flow from one project to another?
Passports are very expensive. Not much of an incentive to get people to travel. Ah well, I know its worth it.
The colourful set looks like a summer party!
Thanks for sharing once again.
Love, Barb
These are so pretty! I am sure this take a lot of patience as you put them together. Much better than I could ever do!
Happy SITS Saturday Sharefest. Your jewelry is gorgeous!
These are wonderful! Stopping from Sharefest at SITS.
Stopping in from Sits sharefest… since you were post number one I had to stop! lovely jewelry! I am laughing b/c a familiar blog friend posted above me! small world! =) Happy Weekend to ya!
Jenn ~ http://www.seizingmyday.com
love ur crafty craftiness!! ur dreamy!!
Your jewelry is beautiful. I am loving all of those colors together! Thanks for stopping by 504 Main.
Ohhh, I love the green and turqoise jewelry. You are very talented. I love all colors and I especially love pink!
I also like the turquoise and green. So fresh.
And about your comment… it was there. It just comes to me first for approval (though I don't think the blog says that anywhere). Maybe the script is used by optometrists only. It is a curious thing.
