Heavy demand from grocery retailers has prompted California table grape grower-shippers to pack more of their product in clamshells.
Scattaglia Growers & Shippers LLC, Traver, Calif., began offering clamshells when its biggest customer requested them, and now has become a strong player in clamshell packaging, said Dave Parker, marketing director.
"You name it, we can do it," he said.
The company ships mostly eight-count and 10-count cartons of 2-pound clamshells and has experimented with 1-pounders, Parker said.
The Chuck Olsen Co., Visalia, Calif., also expects to ship more clamshells this season than last because of growing retail requests, said managing partner Chuck Olsen.
The company makes all of its varieties available in clamshells. The 10-count box of 2-pound packages is its most popular master pack for the containers.
Fresno, Calif.-based Crown Jewels Marketing & Distribution LLC plans to do more 2-, 3- and 4-pound bicolor and tricolor clamshells this season, said partner Atomic Torosian.
"We always try to put our premium quality in the clamshells," he said.
The company's clamshell business increases every year and now accounts for up to 15% of its table grape volume, Torosian said.
Some retailers offer clamshell containers as well as bags, he said. They price them differently and feature both on ad.
Visalia Produce Sales Inc. in Kingsburg, Calif., has packed mostly 2- and 4-pound clamshells in the past, but now is ramping up its volume of 3-pounders for certain retailers, said George Matoian, salesman.
The 3-pound container gives the illusion of a 4-pound package, but can be sold at a lower price point, Matoian said.
Clamshell volume increases as much as 10% annually at Fazio Marketing Inc., Fresno, said president Tony Fazio.
The company packs 2-, 3-, 4- and even 5-pound clamshells for traditional supermarkets as well as club stores, he said.
Most stores offer a combination of bags and clamshell containers.
"Each retailer has their own target markets and promotional programs geared to different customer bases," Fazio said.
Cost of clamshells can vary by volume and size, but Fazio said they can be double the cost of packing in bags.
Mario Macias, owner and president of Mario Macias & Co., Bakersfield, Calif., said 1-, 2- and 4-pound clamshells are a growing part of the company's business.
"A lot of different stores are jumping on these things," he said.
Clamshells aren't limited to club stores or major chains.
"Even small retailers are looking for clamshells," he said.

Foodservice suppliers are offering customers packaging formats they need, whether it's smaller sizes to fit their often limited storage space or larger sizes to handle the extra volume they may require.
Protecting the product and maintaining freshness also are important considerations.
Tailored packaging
West Pak Avocado Inc., Murrieta, Calif., packs in "splits" or half flats for some of its customers in the Midwest and Northeast, where avocado consumption is just developing, said Dan Acevedo, director of business development.
A full 25-pound lug of avocados might be too much for a restaurant where demand is growing but still limited.
Instead, West Pak might send them a 5- to 6-pound split case or half flat.
"It's the right size lug for those developing avocados and including them on their menus," he said.
Some clamshell containers developed for big-box stores have been doing very well in foodservice channels, said Ernst Van Eeghen, director of marketing and product development for Church Bros. LLC, Salinas, Calif.
They're smaller pack sizes than existing whole leaf and spring mix packaging, so they take up less space in refrigerators. And they are not shipped in corrugated cartons.
"They're just shipping in the clamshell itself," he said.
The company offers 2-pound clamshells of spring mix, wild arugula, heirloom spinach blend and 2.5-pound whole-leaf green and whole-leaf romaine.
Other drivers of change
Reducing labor costs at restaurant level and in the distribution process and managing portion control also are driving packaging changes, said Mike O'Leary, vice president of sales and marketing for the fresh-cut division of Boskovich Farms Inc., Oxnard, Calif.
Although there are many traditional pack sizes, "we have customers who are asking us for different types of pack sizes to meet their volume requirements," he said.
Mann Packing Co. Inc., Salinas, plans to use a custom, patented tray for its new whole head program to be launched at the Produce Marketing Association's foodservice conference, said Gina Nucci, director of healthy culinary innovation.
It holds the heads in place in the carton, helps ensure that the heads meet their size specifications and helps protect against mechanical damage, she said.
GreenGate Fresh LLP, Salinas, has a bagging process that is "unique in the produce industry," said Jay Iverson, vice president of sales and marketing.

MySQL's had a strict mode since 2004 to reject invalid data. They didn't make it default until late 2012 though in 5.6.8, and I couldn't find what the MariaDB default is (short of downloading the source and looking). Even then, they only it in the default config file, so manual or distro-specific configs that omit the setting will fall back to the old truncation mode.

For one, it creates lots of temporary files for every file it scans, trying to extract them like an archive whether they really are or not. That's why it scans so slowly, and will thrash your hard drive even if you're scanning files elsewhere, like over the network.
Why XFS was never an option (830 comments)
Ext3's commit interval was one of its best features.
Sure, it doesn't have to make guarantees when the app doesn't explicitly sync, but losing data 1% of the time in an outage is better than losing data 99% of those in those cases.
Whenever I saw people complaining of losses in XFS that wouldn't have happened in ext3, the "doesn't have to guarantee unless synced" thing was brought up as an excuse.

I followed the link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306359/EN-US/ from Google search results and it lead to Microsoft's 404 page. So I searched for the article using Microsoft's integrated search and followed the url in the results. This time it worked, and by golly, it was the same exact url, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306359/EN-US/. This is not the first time support.microsoft.com has given me 404 errors on links I've followed from Google, but it is the first time I've verified that they link was in fact good, and their server gave a 404 response only when the referrer was Google. It's as though Microsoft wants me to think Google is giving me bad links.
This isn't the first time I've seen Microsoft sabotage their knowledgebase to annoy users of competing products and services. When I use Firefox, they disable their feedback form on the bottom of each article, and sometimes they demand that I login to passport just to view an article. Both annoyances go away if I switch to IE using the "IE Tab" Firefox plugin.
Lately I've been receiving 2-3 non-advertisement spams a day. It's the rare type of spam that isn't caught by thunderbird's bayesian filter. All they are is a few random phrases designed to bypass spam blockers. I view the source to confirm. There's no sort of advertisement. No URL's. No meaningful information in the headers. No html. No images. It's 100% random plaintext. And these are tiny spams, unlikely to choke many email servers with their volume. All they're doing is sending out possibly hundreds of millions of spams a day with nothing but random text, having no commercial value whatsoever, marketing or otherwise. That's the dumbest marketing plan I've ever seen. What's the point of sending spam if not to make money?
After years of reviewing crappy ERP system after ERP system, each selling for $20k to $100k for about 10 seats, I've come to the conclusion that this just might be a good market to get into. I've heard it's rather unrewarding, and comes with great responsibility, but after seeing all the crap that people try to pass off as ERP, and noticing that these companies are somehow not only still business but actually doing quite well, my confidence has never been higher. Some of these systems are even written in Microsoft Access. 2/3 of them are two-tier, where the clients work directly with data files. They just make a few sales per year per employee and they're set.
Small to medium sized businesses have widely varying "needs" (wants), so every ERP vendor has a chance to make some sales, no matter that their system isn't the best. Half of these systems are so crappy because they were built inhouse by one business with special "needs" and later marketed to other businesses with similar "needs". Given that I'm a programmer (plus everything else computer related) for a small/medium manufacturing businesses with special "needs" which finds every other ERP system to be woefully inadequate, that makes me the perfect candidate for creating a yet another new ERP system to fill yet another unsatisfied niche. Having seen so much of the competition, I ought to have a good idea of what not to do by now.
I hate this sort of work. CIS is rather boring and unrewarding compared to CS. If it doesn't make me wealthy, it'll make me crazy. Or it'll do both. Hopefully I'll still have time for fun.
A recent article really got me thinking. I hear there's still good money in "evil", so long as it's all safe and legal. How it would work is I'd split my morality into two halves. In one half, the political half, my moral opinion would be comparable to Richard Stallman's and other role models. In the other half, the economic half, morality would be defined entirely by profit minus personal consequence, as the law and the market intend. And I won't have to hate myself. It's the system's fault if I succeed. If I don't do these things, someone else will do it in my place, and my abstinence will have been for nothing. If I really abuse the system to the max, it'll get fixed so nobody can. The world will become a better place. And by then I'll have money like all those evil people I despise. Everyone will be happy. And there's only one Google.

Oh no. Just, no. I had no idea this was like a duochrome, vellux pearl sort of finish, not "frosty" which is the official finish. It does not look it in the pan. I should have read the MUA reviews first. I really, really don't like that type of e/s. It totally has the flash of blue-ish purple. Just awful on me. And I don't normally put too much stock in NYX's colour names, but they were right on the money on this one: picture an opal, and you have this e/s. It reminds me of really old fashioned, dated e/s from another era.

I adore this eyeshadow in the spring and summer. It's an ethereal sheer white shadow with a lavendar duochrome effect. I've been obsessed with anything opal since my teens, so I had to have this. I don't care how age-inaproppriate it becomes, I will wear this Opal shadow for the rest of my years :)

I'm so impressed with this product. I had been to every MAC counter in the area, searched eBay, google, everywhere to find MAC's Vellum, which is an icy white color with a blue/lavendar/periwinkle duochrome sheen. I read tons of reviews and luckily my MUA girls never fail to deliver. This is an identical product at a third of the cost. Looks absolutely gorgeous with purple eyeshadows, or alone with black liquid liner. I'm so happy to have found this and I would def repurchase again. If you're like me and usually only buy MAC eyeshadow, this was worth the risk.

This applied sheer but I could build up the color. It had that 'holographic' effect to it, which was kind of neat...not quite metallic, not quite irridescent. It's cool stuff. This came in a kit with a very wearable stone color and 'Luster,' an olive green.
It looks lovely on it's own, but my preference is to use it as a highlighter on brow bones and inner corners along with the other colors in the kit.

Lovely shadow! This is exactly like Mac's Frozen White pigment in my opinion. Opal is a highly pigmented white shade that flashes bluish lavendar. I use this with nearly all my lavendar/ purple & gray eyeshadows. Now that I've discovered this, I doubt I will ever buy Frozen White pigment again. Retails for $5.00 at NYXCosmetics.com

Gorgeous gorgeous. Scored this for $5.99 at the local SDM... wish they carried more MYX stuff. This shade is a frosty white with a bluish silver sheen (like MAC's Pink Opal pigment which is white and shines pink-gold). Other reviewers compared it to MAC Vellum, which I haven't tried.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet. Opal is a dead-ringer for MAC's vellum...it's basically a white (but sheer enough to be used easily) color that flashes blue/lavender. Very pretty paired with either blues, grey, or black colors...I like this with MAC't tilt and Knight Divine. Useful color...and quite unique

Opal is a very nice off-white "opal" shade with iridescent lavender and blue shimmer. Soooo pretty! Great as a base and highlight shade, this looks hot paired with the 2 it comes with in the trio: Luster and Platinum Silver. As usual, NYX quality is exceptional for the price: pigmented, long-lasting, no creasing, soft texture. I love NYX!

My mother-in-law has a large pink dahlia at the corner of her porch. It is in a protected spot and has not been dug in the twenty-two years I've been married to he daughter, in spite of the fact that she lives in central Indiana (Zone 5).
Last spring I too a cutting from it, brought it home, and rooted it, thinking I'd surprise her with another plant like the one she has. It rooted easily and I set it out in my garden. I did not allow it to bloom, since I was more concerned with it building up a good root system this year. It didn't get very big, but we had an extremely hot dry summer. It was bushy and two or three feet tall. When I dug it this week there was a cluster of roots at the base of what was once the cutting, but no tubers at all. Is it possible that this tuberless root will "Keep" over the winter? Thanks for Your Input |
Follow-Up Postings:
It will keep, if the roots are long then cut them down to a better size, replant again next year and you will get tubers. More info here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynw3ebPnuwE |

I wanted to change this since the last one has being there for a long time.
But I do have some news to write down!
Firstly, I was just seing my art... and wow, I really didn't knew they get any views. It was nice to find out that all are over the 200 views, and some even 700 or more than 1.000! It's a new thing to me, but anyway, thanks everyone for the views and nice ratings <3 I haven't being drawing a lot lately... I haven't got a lot of inspiration plus my tablet isn't sensitive on my Mac so I can't draw nice things digitaly... but somehow, it's my fault since I haven't even made the efford to search for tutorials to install it rightly, hehehe... Maybe soon I will, and I'll draw more... maybe.
Now another exciting new! Tomorrow I'm getting a lovely Canon HD video camera with a lot of nice features! I'm really curious to try the video world... maybe I'll be able to upload some things here (:

My univertisy is on a stroke since a month already, as other schools and university of here, mostly for the educational problem and the goberment. The thing of the schools that where taken back by force is not a thing related to me luckly, but yeah, is being quite violent and the goberment had made the military force to take the schools where students are sleeping and living because the stroke, since those places are votation places for this weekend... and I will vote haha, this Sunday, the primary votations, not the president votations still yet though

The funny thing was that in a magazine,I read about Santiago and the Spanish have a drink called 'Sangria' and I am curious to know if you have tried it?(A strange question,I know,just ignore it if you want.)
I was born in Barcelona (Spain) and I know Sangria c: is a drink of wine with fruits, mainly peaches and strawberries, but it's quite free the fruits you can put on it.. I haven't tasted it since I'm not a fan of wine, but my parents do it on summer since is a cold drink n_n Though, in Santiago is not a very common thing, but since my family is spanish it is for us.

2013-06-17 09:04:07
Annabelle(the doll)has red hair and a huge smile while yours has red eyes and a huge smile...Hmmm..Never mind.
Hahah, yeah, I think my mind got obsessed and this night I hear noises coming from where I left the dolls before getting sleep, meep xD Haha, but I like to be scared and to feel watched.. I'm so weird
2013-06-17 09:00:10
Well,sorry about telling you about that story then,I hope it did not scare you too badly but the world is full of strange things and this is really one of them.Maybe the clowns don't seem so bad anymore...What do you think,miss?
2013-06-16 21:52:30
Wait,you called your doll creepy and the way you said she(or he)looked,it reminds me of a story:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noGgqbWkLuQ
Yes,it is true if you want to believe it...
Wahh, that's so creepy, I got two similar dolls of those (one identical to the other, just that one is 30cm long and the other 120cm) the doll is made based on the one of the japanese game "ib" (like: http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/i /2013/125/7/a/ib_doll_by_xkuroten shix-d648hs4.jpg exactly this is one of them) and I have her with the big one on a chair just on my side, and while seing that video I was peeking at them to see if they more or what hahaha
2013-06-16 00:00:47
So,are you afraid of clowns after watching that?I remembered watching it when I was much younger,and it did not scare me(what was wrong with me back then?),maybe because it was a comedy.
Nah, I'm never afraid c: I actually got a 120cm long creepy doll with red eyes and huge smile with the one I sleep with, haha x3

Here is a little horror movie from the eighties(Sorry,I can't find the whole movie but I thought that I shared it anyway,since you wrote that you loved horror):http://www.google.com.sg/url?sa=t&rct=j&am p;am p;q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&c d=4&cad=rja&ved=0CE8QtwIwAw&url=ht tp%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DPcFP8 HDFPGQ&ei=wMGyUcSvLJG0rAeT2YGADg&usg=A FQjCNFT2Vis2oPpNrMVztJwKQma1WnPUw&sig2=9Es v3-xH6YWzRGJZ5yXBaA&bvm=bv.47534661,d.bmk
My 50th comment on one post,so hooray!
Sorry for the late reply, I think I died for a couple of days hahaha, anyway, I've seing a lot of images of that movie, mostly because it was the reason to a lot of people to make them have a trauma with clowns and in that time, the clown horror movies became pretty popular for what I've seing c:
2013-06-13 00:25:38
I should have known,but it's kind of creepy,don't you think?It is all because of the tragic story behind it that makes it that way.
2013-06-12 23:14:55
Ouch,I hope you are fine by now.The best part was that it wasn't my dog,in fact,I don't know who it belonged to.I am fine with any kind of art,but there is one picture I came across,it is kind of,well,disturbing.Be warned,it can get very eerie,so here is the link:http://urbanlegendsonline.com/japanese-girls-s uicide-drawing/
Ahhh, I have seing it before, I had a time where I was obsessed with creepy pastas (those kind of internet stories), they are really well done :P
2013-06-12 10:45:38
Talking about being chased by something,I remembered being chased by a large dog that was defending its puppy when all I did was to take back someone's ball from its mouth.Good thing,I ran fast enough or else...
Hahaha, I got once bite by my dog, when I was a kid, I wanted to pet her when she was eating a bone. She didn't bite me hard but i did got some wounds on my hand... while it could have being way worse since she was a big Aleman Pastor dog
2013-06-11 21:56:24
Me,no unless what happened to me about six years ago,when I screwed up,trying an obstacle course and ended up being a yo-yo,upside down metres above ground.
Oh my, that sounds terrible D: did you get out of it without complications after the shock?
2013-06-11 11:14:24
I am just a little curious,miss,but are you easily frightened?
Oh, well, it's a good question. To start I actually love horror movies, I enjoy them and I have seing a lot of them (probably, I watch around 50 horror movies every year haha) to the point that there are things that doesn't scare me anymore. But on real life, if I'm walking in my house at night and I hear something, I do go and run like a crazy on the stairs as if I'm chased by something xD So in the end, yes, I am easily frightened because I get scared with simple things.. but when it comes to more hardcore things, or to just pure horror and maybe gore and such, I really don't get scared haha... I'm quite weird.
And you?
2013-06-09 23:11:37
You could say that monkeys really use their brains.
By the way, what kind of music do you like? I think I haven't asked you before

2013-06-08 22:43:31
Well,I was thinking about zombies,so we are not so different in thought.
2013-06-08 11:08:15
Happy World Oceans Day and quite strangely,Brain Tumors Day(though it is not something to be happy about.)
I don't know why that made me remember about the people that eats monkey's brain, and that made me laugh. I'm a horrible person haha
2013-06-07 11:19:17

2013-05-31 11:18:44

2013-05-30 10:29:02
Have you been to Chillán Viejo?(I read about such a place but never heard of it.)
I have being in Chillán (not sure what part of Chillán is the Chillán viejo, since viejo is old in spanish, so probably is the original área of Chillán and so on) (: it's a nice city that's on a region more to the south of Santiago, there're natural hot springs since there're some volcanos over there and also resorts, some sections of cordillera with ski centers and such on... but despites that, the city is not that modern as Santiago is, but has more nature and pure air
2013-05-29 08:47:40
Oh my,that sounds terrible,I hope that everything will be back to normal(Mother Nature is funny sometimes.)There is nothing interesting happening here so far,except replying to you.Anyway,happy United Peacekeepers Day!
Thanks (: to you too, and luckly today the sun came out so probably things will be better now n_n
2013-05-28 11:37:11
So,did anything interesting happen to you recently?
Not much, since here on Santiago there's a storm that has the capital on red alert xD so I didn't went to college yesterday and today either, since this city is not prepared to all the water that has fallen and everything is a mess, and to you?

Mises Daily
Rules for International Monetary Reform
In chapter 9 of my book, Money, Bank Credit, and Economic Cycles (pp. 789–803), I design a process of transition toward the only world financial order that, being fully compatible with the free-enterprise system, can eliminate the financial crises and economic recessions that cyclically affect the world's economies. Such a proposal for international financial reform is, of course, extremely relevant at this time, since the disconcerted governments of Europe and America are planning a world conference to reform the international monetary system in order to avoid future financial and banking crises such as the one that currently grips the entire Western world. As I explain in detail over the nine chapters of my book, any future reform will fail as miserably as past reforms unless it strikes at the very root of the present problems and rests on the following principles:
the reestablishment of a 100% reserve requirement on all bank demand deposits and equivalents;
the elimination of central banks as lenders of last resort (which will be unnecessary if the first principle is applied, and harmful if they continue to act as financial central-planning agencies); and
the privatization of the current, monopolistic, and fiduciary state-issued money and its replacement with a classic gold standard.
This radical, definitive reform would essentially mark the culmination of the 1989 fall of the Berlin Wall and real socialism, since it would mean the application of the same principles of liberalization and private property to the only sphere — finance and banking — that has until now remained mired in central planning (by "central" banks), extreme interventionism (the fixing of interest rates, the tangled web of government regulations), and state monopoly (legal-tender laws, which require the acceptance of the current, state-issued fiduciary money) — circumstances with disastrous consequences, as we have seen.
I should point out that the transition process designed in the above-mentioned chapter of my book could also permit, from the outset, the bailing out of the current banking system, thus preventing its rapid collapse, and with it the sudden monetary squeeze that would be inevitable if, in an environment of widespread broken trust among depositors, a significant volume of bank deposits were to disappear.
This short-term goal, which, at present, western governments are desperately striving for with the most varied plans (the massive purchases of "toxic" bank assets, the ad hominem guarantee of all deposits, or simply the partial or total nationalization of the private banking system), could be reached much faster and more effectively, and in a manner much less harmful to the market economy, if the first step in my proposal for reform (page 792 in my book) were immediately taken: to back the total amount of current bank deposits (demand deposits and equivalents) with cash, bills to be turned over to banks, which from then on would maintain a 100% reserve with respect to deposits. As I explain in chapter 9, chart IX-2, which shows the consolidated balance sheet for the banking system following this step, the issuance of these bills would in no way be inflationary (since the new money would be "sterilized," so to speak, by its purpose as backing to satisfy any deposit withdrawals).
Furthermore, this step would free up all banking assets (toxic or not) that currently appear as backing for demand deposits (and equivalents) on the balance sheets of private banks. On the assumption that the transition to the new financial system would take place under "normal" circumstances, and not in the midst of a financial crisis as acute as the current one, I proposed in my book that the freed assets be transferred to a set of mutual funds created ad hoc and managed by the banking system, and that the shares in these funds be exchanged for outstanding treasury bonds and for the implicit liabilities connected with the public social-security system (pp. 796–797).
Nevertheless, in the current climate of severe financial and economic crisis, we have another alternative: apart from canceling "toxic" assets with these funds, we could devote a portion of the rest, if desired, to enabling savers (not depositors whose deposits would already be backed 100 percent) to recover a large part of the value lost in their investments (particularly in loans to commercial banks, investment banks, and holding companies). These measures would immediately restore confidence and would leave a significant remainder to be exchanged — once and for all and at no cost — for a sizeable portion of the national debt, our initial aim.
I conclude with an important final warning: naturally (and I must never tire of repeating it) the solution I propose is only valid in the context of an irrevocable decision to establish a free-banking system subject to a 100% reserve requirement on demand deposits. Any of the reforms noted above, if adopted in the absence of a prior, firm conviction and decision to change the international financial and banking system as indicated, would be simply disastrous: a private banking system that continued to operate with a fractional reserve (orchestrated by the corresponding central banks), would generate — in a cascading effect, and based on the cash created to back deposits — an inflationary expansion like none other in history, one which would eventually finish off our entire economic system.

I'm trying to find out what varieties of strawberries will do well at 2500 ft. Suches, GA
Any ideas? I believe that it is considered zone 5, but my googling research says that the winters are mild allowing for year round gardening. |

Suches, GA is in USDA Hardiness Zone 7, as is most of N GA. I gave up growing strawberries years ago, when one of the neighbor's kids considered it his private garden for berries every morning to eat with cereal. He would pick every ripe one on the vines and since there were 7 kids in the household, I'm sure none were wasted! Here's a link for the NCSU Extension Service that has a number of recommended varieties that should do well in your location. |

"I told the president-elect he can count on complete cooperation from my administration as he makes the transition to the White House," Bush said Wednesday from the White House.
"It will be a stirring sight to watch President Obama, his wife Michelle, and their beautiful girls step through the doors of the White House. I know millions of Americans will be overcome with pride at this inspiring moment that so many have awaited so long.
President Bush also called Sen. John McCain to congratulate him and Gov. Sarah Palin on their "determined" campaign.

I am not sure where to go with this question. There is a lot of talk on this forum of hormones (!) so I thought I'd start here. If you know of a better place, please let me know.
I am not yet menopausal, but know it is just around the corner. My periods have been real screwy for about 10 years. I am 48. The doctor has given me a prescription for Provera to bring on a period, and I will begin it tomorrow. She then gave me samples of the Nuva Ring to be inserted once I start bleeding and before day 5. It's a ring that stays in for 3 weeks, then out for a week to have a period. Just like the pill, except I don't need to remember to take one each day. Also, since it is localized, the side effects aren't supposed to be as bad as with the pill. Has anyone here used it? If so, do you like it? Does it do a good job regulating? Did you get a lot of side effects?Can a tampon be used with it, since there is a chance I could still be having a period when it comes time to insert a new one? Thank you in advance for any information you are able to share. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would worry about infection from inserting something and leaving it in that long. Don't worry about side effects of oral medication until you have taken it awhile. You may not have any. |
Now is the time for you to read Dr. John Lee's book, "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause." About $13 at most health food stores. Tells you what things are good for you and what are not. He was telling us several years ago how harmful and dangerous synthetic hormones are for us and the dr's were still telling us they were good for our hearts! YIKES - and I took them for 15 yrs before I read his book. Get it!!!! Lois |
I forgot I posted this question, since I got no responses early on, and I stopped checking. Lois, thanks for the book recommendation. I will go look for it immediately. Just an update, I have been using the ring since I posted as a 6 month trial. My 6 months will be up soon and I need to make a decision. The dr. said she would let me use it until I am 52 if I like it. I am definately going to read the book before I make my decision. As for the results, eehh, I am not really sure. I am regular for the first time in years. I was on the pill years ago and I guess I expected the same kind of period, lighter. That's not really the case. Sometimes I begin spotting before I take it out on Sunday. It continues throughout the week then my period actually begins on Thurs. or Fri. Sun. tends to be my heaviest day, and that is the day the new ring needs to go back in. Don't like that. I thought it would be over by then. By the following Mon or Tues. it is all over. Back to the research. Thanks so much. |

42% of all consumers purchase organic products.
The group of principals who make up the ownership and leadership of Purple Cow Organics® are building a business around these statements. Commitment to a "remarkable" quality, "remarkable" service, and the never ending commitment to learn.
Look around your local store or farmers' market. Shoppers pick up fruit and vegetables. They squeeze, smell, knock, and even listen to it. Then they select another for comparison and repeat until they have located the "perfect" it.
Unfortunately, this selection process doesn't determine the quality of produce.
Think back to eighth grade science class. The nutrients in our fruits and vegetables don't just magically appear. They come from the soil. They only come from the soil.
There is a recipe - a very careful, very patient, very precise recipe - for giving back to the earth. It's part science, part passion, and it was crafted by Purple Cow Organics.
It's a recipe that won't just grow a better tomato. It creates healthier, more beautiful landscapes - on a farm, in a park, on a golf course, or an urban rooftop. It naturally promotes growth and resists disease (by sam tf inc). It is what Mother Nature would brew up if we weren't constantly getting in her way.
At Purple Cow, our team draws from experience in organic farming, environmental stewardship, landscape construction, and culinary arts which provides a level of expertise that is fueled by a true passion for their work.
If you're a long-term thinker ... if quality is just as important as quantity ... if "pure" is just as important as "pretty" ... there's a good chance that you'll appreciate the care and the craftsmanship that only comes from Purple Cow.
Here's a chance to pay it forward.
Here's an opportunity to end decades of only "taking".
Here's Purple Cow Organics.

PITTSBURGH – Testing in the Drug Chemistry section of the Department of Laboratories Division of the Medical Examiner's Office reveals that the stamp bags associated with the current overdose deaths marked "Theraflu" and "Bud Ice" contain a mixture of both Heroin and Fentanyl.
The presence of the powder form of Fentanyl indicates an illicit production of this drug. Ongoing investigation into these deaths will continue.

A View From The Top...A Survey of ACAHO Presidents and Chief Executive Officers
Over the past five years, the Association of Canadian Academic Healthcare Organizations (ACAHO) has moved a significant way in terms of providing a national voice for Teaching Hospitals, Regional Health Authorities and their Research Institutes that are responsible for the academic mission (i.e., service provision, education & training, and research & innovation). In support of this mandate, the Association has developed and released a number of policy-related documents that focus on the strategic activities of members and the role of the federal government.
To supplement the views as well as recommendations that have been offered to the federal government by the Association, it was thought timely to ask its members (i.e., its Presidents and CEOs) to comment on a range of health system policy issues at one moment in time.

Resources for German-Bohemian ResearchResearch MissionResearch in the Czech and Slovak Republics Research materials in the GBHS Library
The German Bohemian Heritage Society's
The GBHS was founded in 1984 for the purpose of gathering information about
the immigration and culture of the ethnic German people from Bohemia to
Minnesota. It was discovered that a very large chain migration took place
starting in the latter part of the 19th century and continuing until WWI
from Kries Bischofteinitz, Tachau, and Mies to the town of New Ulm and
the surrounding rural counties of Brown and Nicollet. With this migration,
a significant transplantation of culture also took place, especially of
language and music. This information was gathered and presented in a book
published by the society entitled German-Bohemians, The Quiet Immigrants.

Adobe Drops 64-Bit Flash Support for Linux
"Making significant architectural changes" the official answer.
Adobe has discontinued 64-bit Flash 10.1 development for Linux stating that significant architectural changes were being made to the plugin that would add improved security.
"We are fully committed to bringing native 64-bit Flash Player for the desktop by providing native support for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux 64-bit platforms in an upcoming major release of Flash Player," Adobe wrote on their Adobe Labs site.
The 64-bit plugin was first made available for testing two years ago, but a finished, official 64-bit plugin never materialized. It's uncertain what caused this setback at Adobe, but speculation points to Adobe's focus on Flash 10.1.
Adobe gave no timetable for when it would begin development (or redevelopment) on a 64-bit plugin.

This was the first lipstick I ever purchased from MAC. It's a really fun salmon coral lipstick, and is really perfect for summer! It's a little bit more sheer than most of the lipsticks I've tried, including the other lustre finishes in my collection, but I don't mind much, since it looks really nice the way it is. I have really fair, cool toned skin (with the added bonus of red hair, which makes anything orange-ey a huge no by default), but the color doesn't look garish or "too much" at all, and is super easy to wear with almost any outfit. The color you see in the tube may be a little scary, but since it almost seems to be part lipbalm, it's still very wearable.
The only reason it loses a star is it has a shorter wear-time than most MAC lipsticks, since it has a more gloss-like finish, but it's not enough to make me dislike the product.
The only thing is it was LE, and hasn't been available for awhile. I'm desperately trying to find somewhere that's selling these, since I'm just about out of this lipstick. I wish they'd make this part of their permanent line!
More reviews by browneyessmiles
I was intrigued by this as some of my favorite YT gurus love this color. I swapped for this and was disappointed. It was just too bright and possibly too cool toned for my yellow-toned complexion. I back-2-Mac'd this.
I was so excited to get this lipstick but it was awful on me. It truly looked like I just ate spaghetti. Really sheer peachy color,super slippery and did not last at all. I returned it.
More reviews by shadesofyellow
Beautiful pinky-coral shade on my NC25 (w/yellower undertones) skin. It's almost like a lipstick/gloss with how slick it is. Its lasts about 2 hours on me.
I do have a bone to pick though. Whether it's indicative to this shade or batch, I don't know but I purchased this recently (part of the Pleasureseeker collection, I think) through MAC online. In that same order I bought Venus as well. Same formula, same batch code. Well my Cut a Caper broke off at the base and I've been unable to melt it back together. (It makes me sad every time I use it because its such a beautiful shade, and it's harder to get color on using just a lip brush). However, happyish ending. I wrote to MAC, just to let them know about the issue, and they offered to send me a replacement (of a different shade, since Cut A Caper is LE).
I saw this on a blog and decided to try it on the MAC counter. It's a peachy sheer lipstick that gives a little color and it's perfect for using it in the day. I really like it and usually apply two coats because it doesn't show a lot on my lips.
I have a number of peachy/ coral lipsticks from Mac that I love (eg See Sheer, Pleasureseeker, Fashion City, Crosswires) and this "should" have worked on me (NC 30) but didn't. It's not bad, but just a bit too whitish milky, not flattering. Would have given 4 for the color in general, but I found that it didn't apply as evenly as other lustre lipsticks, which is my favorite formula in Mac. That was the deal breaker. Tried hard for a week to make it work but sadly had to return.

I agree with all the superlatives with regard to this lipstick. i love it too. I'm calling it a "happy color". However, I wanted to add my two cents and that is that this is extremely similar, a dupe, I would dare say identical to MAC Fresh Salmon, also a lustre finish which was part of the spring collection two years ago, Color something. Sorry not to be more exact. All this just FYI!
I am so in love with this pinky perfect lipstick. I have very pigmented lips and this lipstick is a "my lips but better" shade. I'm partial to the signature MAC vanilla scent, and this is no exception. It is creamy in application and the staying power is great. It looks soft and pretty but not overdone. My skin tone is NC25-30 for reference. Would definitely purchase again and again!

More reviews by LizLaughandLove
This is an incredibly beautiful lipstick. I'm a fan of nude, light pinky lipsticks but the issue for me is that I have incredibly tan skin, so a lot of lipsticks in that color range look pasty and odd on me. This light pinky peach color is very flattering on my tanner skin tone. It's a very soft, smooth lipstick and the packaging is as sleek and beautiful as every other MAC lipstick. If you like lighter nude/pink lipsticks, this is definitely one to pick up, since it is limited edition. Beautiful lipstick.

Amelia Freidline, Copy EditorAround the new year it seems like every media outlet — and the entire world of the Internet — is abuzz with lists of predictions for the months ahead.
According to the folks in the know, in 2014, pastels will be big for spring, Google+ will emerge as a major player in social media, and finger print scans or eyeball recognition on tech devices will increasingly replace the need for complicated passwords.
Oh, and Pantone's color of the year is "radiant orchid." Maybe that's why I had dreams recently about purple cauliflower.
Some of these lists have serious insights and some are just silly.
Bloomberg Businessweek, reporting on ad firm JWT's "100 things to watch in 2014," distilled the food-related news down into this nugget: "Food marketing in 2014 will be ugly."
Of course I had to click that link.
"Ugly produce" holds down spot 93 of JWT's list.
Bloomberg writer Venessa Wong explains that "almost six in 10 people surveyed by JWT say they 'like goods that are a little flawed or imperfect' ... and seven in 10 find beauty in flaws."
JWT cites European efforts to curb food waste by marketing misshapen produce instead of throwing it away or refusing to sell it at retail.
Austria-based retailer Billa markets these under its private label "Wunderlinge" (a portmanteau of "anomaly" and "miracle"), and German chain Edekka is testing selling "flawed" fruits and vegetables at a discout, JWT reports.
The European products reminded me of how Castroville, Calif.-based Ocean Mist Farms has promoted frost-kissed artichokes as more flavorful than regular artichokes, despite their less beautiful appearance.
Fresno, Calif.-based Baloian Farms has received good reception of its 1-pound packages of Oddbells, misshapen red and green bell peppers.
I think it's great that companies are developing clever ways to market their less-than-perfect-looking fruits and vegetables rather than just hiding them in bulk bags — I pulled a carrot out of the crisper the other day that had a shape only a mother carrot could love.
But Bloomberg's Wong had a good point.
"The survey never asks how flawed (shoppers are) willing to go," she writes. "In an age of epic food waste, it's reassuring that consumers may find something charming about a bruised apple, but would they prefer it to a flawless apple that cost the same? Preferences often are emotional, and JWT's point, perhaps, is: Only if the marketing is persuasive enough."

Good day, I would like to start growing bananas. I have done some research. I have been looking into 3 bananas (SDC, Dwarf Red, and a Dwarf C). The only problem is I would like to start out with only 2 bananas (one for a friend and one for me). Since I live in the north, I plan on having the plants in pots and bring them in during the winter. I would like fruit. In your expert opinion, which 2 should I buy? I would also welcome any help with growing them. Thank you for your time. |

Hi I suggest the Williams, here is the info 'Williams Hybrid' is one of the main bananas of commerce. The plant grows to 6 to 8 feet. They produce very large heads of fruit that are sweet and delicious. They are wind resistant and cold hardy. see pic at link below |

Just in from the Pac-10:
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. – UCLA sophomore guard Doreena Campbell was named the U.S. Bank Pac-10 Women's Basketball Player of the Week for January 5-11, Commissioner Tom Hansen announced today.
Campbell, a native of Alexandria, Va., led UCLA to its first regular-season victory in four years against crosstown rival USC, besting the Trojans, 87-75, on Sunday. Campbell led the Bruins in scoring with 20 points and grabbed a career-high nine rebounds in the win.
The sophomore guard keyed an impressive 12-2 UCLA run in the second half, hitting three-consecutive shots from the floor, including back-to-back three pointers. Campbell also made four baskets beyond the arc in the contest, tying a career best.
This is the first Pac-10 Player of the Week honor for Campbell and the 38th all-time for UCLA.
The Ducks nominated freshman Jasmin Holliday, who scored in double figures against both Arizona and ASU.

April 25 2013, Ward Clayton
A look at some of the top player picks for the North Texas LPGA Shootout, a new tournament on the 2013 LPGA schedule which begins Thursday at Las Colinas Country Club in Irving, Texas:Top 3:
- Angela Stanford: There are quite a few Texas connections in this week's tournament, but none bigger than five-time LPGA winner Stanford. She lives in Saginaw and is a Fort Worth native (30 minutes west of Las Colinas), graduated from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth and is a huge Texas Rangers baseball fan. Plus, she practices at Shady Oaks Country Club in Fort Worth, Ben Hogan's old club.
- Stacy Lewis: Lewis is a native of The Woodlands, Texas (suburban Houston) so she too is having a Lone Star State homecoming this week. Even more so, she is looking to regain the top spot in the Rolex Women's World Rankings from Inbee Park, who moved to No. 1 during an off week two weeks ago.
- Paula Creamer: Creamer has five consecutive top-20 finishes this season entering the tournament and is primed to break a victory drought that dates back to the 2010 U.S. Women's Open.
- Gerina Piller: The Plano, Texas, resident and University of Texas-El Paso graduate continues the Texas theme. But she also has picked up her game in her fourth LPGA season, with two top-10 finishes and no missed cuts. Plus, she may be inspired by husband Martin Piller's T11 finish on the Web.com Tour two weeks ago in Midland, Texas.
