text: For true coffee enthusiasts, Swissmar International Corp. (Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada) exhibited its Alpenröst residential coffee bean roaster at HomeTech. According to Bruno Oehy, Swissmar account executive, the popularity of home roasting is growing as consumers continue to desire fresh coffee on demand. "Once roasted, coffee loses 40-percent of its flavor and aroma within 1 week," he explains. "Using our rotary drum technique, the roaster produces fresh-tasting coffee beans, similar to that of professional-grade roasters." The home roaster is based on the company's patented rotary drum process. After the beans are inserted into the roasting chamber, the machine's heating element heats the beans to approximately 440°F. When roasting is complete, the beans go through a cooling cycle. The drum then counter-rotates and disperses the beans. "It is similar to when a cement machine dispenses cement," Mr. Oehy explains. The entire process takes 20-25 min, he adds, depending on the roast setting. The appliance has a capacity of 8 oz (225 g) and uses a multi-directional ventilation port that can direct smoke out of the machine and into a user's ventilation hood or out a window. Additionally, the patented "Flow-Thru" air ventilation is said to keep the appliance cool throughout the roasting process. An electronic control panel allows users to choose from 15 different roast settings, ranging from light to dark. According to Mr. Oehy, users can also manually control the roasting process. "You can introduce the cooling process at anytime by pressing the 'Cooling' button," he says. "After the button is pushed, the door opens, and the fan blows air into the drum and cools the system. This is good for true coffee enthusiasts and also allows the user to change the initial setting." The roasters are currently available to markets worldwide. www.swissmar.com

making the pc able to play new games
I want to edit my pc (it is not my main )so it can play new games what should I change
And can I change the case into a bigger one And will I be able to overclock Computer :Acer veriton m661 CPU : Intel core 2 Duo E8400 / # of Core = 2 / L2 Cach = 6 MB / Clock Speed= 3 GHz Memory : 4.00 GB DDR2 (I'll increase it to 8.00 GB) video card : Intel(R) Q35 Express Chipset Family Motherboard:eq35m I can pay up to 800 usd |

you can buy a new pc
1.AMD CPU : FX-8 cores Black Edition FX 8120 (AM3+ socket, 125 W power voltage)-140$ plus shipping(you must also buy yourself a cooler that can be 50 to 100$, you should not pay more and another 15$ for the thermal compound) 2.A decent motherboard with AM3+ socket , which would support up to at least 16gb memory dd3, preferably with 4 ram slots(for up to 2 dual channel kits) this can be 100-150$ 3. I would recommend you a 8GB DDR3 dual channel memory kit(1600Mhz frequency) from corsair preferably, this would mean around 150 $ IF you can use your power supply and case would be perfect if not get yourself a 800W power supply(50-100 $) If u calculate the worst case scenario case(meaning that u pay the highest prices ) you would pay by now like 600$, meaning you can have 200$ left to buy a GPU which can be achieved but if u pay 100$ more (meaning 300$ for GPU) you can get a good Graphics Card like Nvidia GTX 660 Now its up to you what will you do, for example if u can use your current power supply and case you dont need to pay extra money for a good Graphics Card and forgot to mention about the HDD you might be able to use your current one but buying a new one (1TB) would cost u 50$ AMD FX 8-Core Black Edition FX-8120 (FD8120FRGUBOX) - See more at: AMD FX 8-Core Black Edition FX-8120 (FD8120FRGUBOX) Details |

You don`t really need to change the cpu, I had no problems playing graphic intensive games with my E8600 or the E8200. A good graphics card and maxing out the memory should be enough, You might want to think about getting a good 550 or 600 watt power supply, and make sure the cpu has a good cooler.

He is right here , and if ur motherboard supports DDR3 buy 8 GB of 1600Mhz perhaps a dual channel and a GPU this should be enough and u will spend around 400$ if u get a good GPU, yes and change the thermal compound of the CPU buy something good for like 15-20$ and maybe a cooler if this wont suffice, but u must change the thermal compound

So she went to check it out. She went to the Western Wall and there he was, walking slowly up to the holy site.
She watched him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turned to leave, using a cane and moving very slowly, she approached him for an interview.
"Pardon me, sir, I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN. What's your name?
"Morris Feinberg," he replied.
"Sir, how long have you been coming to the Western Wall and praying?"
"For about 60 years."
"60 years! That's amazing! What do you pray for?"
"I pray for peace between the Christians, Jews and the Muslims."
"I pray for all the wars and all the hatred to stop."
"I pray for all our children to grow up safely as responsible adults and to love their fellow man."
"I pray that politicians tell us the truth and put the interests of the people ahead of their own interests."

The brunette had been married about a year. One day the she came running up to her husband, jumping for joy. He didn't know how to react, so he started jumping up and down along with her.
"Why are we so happy?" he asked.
She said, "Honey, I have some really great news for you!"
"Great" he said, "tell me what you're so happy about."
She stopped, breathless from all the jumping up and down "I'm pregnant!" she gasped.
The husband was ecstatic as they had been trying for quite a while. He grabbed her, and kissed her
"Wow, that is wonderful," "I couldn't be happier!"
Then she said, "Oh, honey there's more."
"What do you mean more?", he asked.
"Well we are not having just one baby, we are going to have TWINS!"
He was amazed at how she could know so soon after getting pregnant "How do you that," he asked.
"It was easy," she said."I went to the pharmacy and bought the 2 pack home pregnancy test kit."
"Both tests came out positive!"

Yesterday I accidentally made a discovery
For the past week after working well the Civil 3D software slowed to a crawl for the sampleLine process. The autocad forum had no help for this specific slowdown and an email to a C3D expert found this is a known issue with no real solution other than to split the drawing into several dozen drawings with xref and shortcuts.
So out of frustration I re-tuned the computer (for this machine we paid the extra cost for unlocked hardware and bios after the experience with my locked HP laptop) - it fixed the slowdown. But, now some of the C3D corridor processes are unusably slow; it looks like C3D has a bi-modal optimal hardware configuration.
For a 4x4GB [16GB] dual dual-channel modules the two opposing settings for the memory are:
I am considering purchasing a third memory set for this machine to try and satisfy both a ~1800Mhz memory speed and CAS latency 7 response time:
What do you think?
I think you're chasing the wrong thing. As a single-threaded app that can only utilize one core, RAM speed is not the bottleneck even with 1333 MHz. Instead, it's at the CPU. That's why C3D performs so much better with the new 2nd Gen i3/i5/i7 chips... One of the big improvements in that line of chips was the MMU.
Are you REALLY running C3D on Server2008...? I suspect that might be more the cause of a lot of your problems... Server2008 does not make an ideal OS for a CAD computer.
Some good points:
All that said, in theory you could be correct - but in real world use, I found a very big difference in performance for differing C3D functions with the two memory configurations.
You are getting yourself into trouble, and chasing ghosts...
Yes, "Nehalem" referred to the early i3/i5/i7. But "Sandy Bridge" is "2nd Gen i3/i5/i7". Two very different things. It's also unwise to try direct comparisons between components of Intel and AMD CPUs, since so many things are structured differently.
In any case, you are running into very bizarre problems. They are not typical. And the thing that is weirdest about what you are doing is that you are trying to use Windows Server as an OS for a CAD workstation. I would view that as insane, if for no other reason than it takes Windows Server so much longer to boot up and shut down, let alone all the rest.
If anything, maybe you should concentrate on what Services you have running. You may be able to tune Windows Server to behave much like a CAD Workstation, but it's not intended to be used that way, so I suspect you'll have to do a lot of tweaking. That all seems like wasted time and expense to me.
What do you have that actually is defined in the drawing containing the Sample Lines?
Are you currently using data shortcuts/references to manage the design data?
How large is the alignment that you are sampling?
Are you sampling a corridor also? If so, does it reside in the same drawing?
The sample lines are in the worst case scenario as best I can tell. The criteria you asked for I am guessing are the things that can be done to resolve sample line performance problems; validating that this is a well known problem.
The point is that I accidentally solved the sampleLine performance issue by tuning the memory. And today I am going to test different memory settings to see the behavior on the sampleLine and corridor function. Do you have any suggestions to help ensure the test results are usefull.
Also - what is your opinion for this idea; on the autocad c3d help wiki a performance page that summarizes the topic like this and at the bottom of the page a table where anyone that cares can place hardware and software configurations that work well for them like this table. When I built my computer I researched configurations and found very little except for this website http://www.c3dbenelux.org who made an exception so I could join and review the test results. even now I am still finding major new information like "Sandy Bridge has a exceptionally improved memory unit", nice. But in real world use what does it mean. If we post to the table what we 'feel' works and post some index scores then we can compare, learn, and form a more effective community.
I am not surprised that tweaking the memory would have some impact in performance.
However, in the time, effort, and money spent on adjusting, tweaking, and improving hardware configuration (above what you find in multiple blogs and even posts here from Autodesk employees) versus the performance improvement gained through that process seems minimal and even costly compared to looking at project/data workflow.
What do you mean? In most cases several people are collaborating and their work has a workflow so I see your point - in this specific case I am working by myself so the workflow is nonexistent; unless you mean workflow as in first build the entire model then last build sampleLines and when it locks-up on the last sampleLine hand the C3D model off - it is now complete. I did that but did sampleLines before payItem mapping so maybe I should have done payItem mapping before sampleLines then run QTO reports. But the point is that the model becomes unusable at some point.
For context, this specific case is using a location-based model, there are 450+ surfaces, 77 corridors, 10 alignments, and many sampleLines. The workflow for a location-based C3D model is without doubt complicated and I am not going to test it to show how complicated or if it is even possible. Hardware tests are costly only once - after that it is returned thousands of times. If I find through considerable time, effort, and cost that C3D 'likes' 1800Mhz memory with a CAS 7 and this is replicatable for everyone then there is no cost beyond myself. And, if it mitigates the need to orchestrate workflows more complicated than the flea-flicker play - good.
To keep this subjective and give some real values, attached is a video of the process I will use to test the sampleLine and corridor performance.
These are the steps I propose to use for the 2 opposing memory configurations: documentation is with CamStudio screen capture and 4 measured metrics are save time for sampleLine and corridor, time to map payItem, time to rename surface - measured in seconds from video. The test machine specifications are here.
seem complete, through, degree, documented, and allows a 3rd party to repeat
Test Results:
By accident I noticed the performance in corridor and sample line differed noticeably with different hardware configuration. After testing, a faster processor and memory speed with slower memory response resulted in good corridor processing but slow sampleLine processing - and the opposite - slower processor and memory speed with faster memory response resulted in slow corridor processing and faster sampleLine processing. Above are the results with context using actual values rather than an arbitrary fast and slow.
The final results are not consistent with my initial 'discovery', the sampleLine time was better with a faster processor and slower memory response, but in testing is has the best time with the opposite configuration - I think the difference in 'feel' is in the time to open the alignment sampleLine list rather than the overall sampleLine time. The difference in feel between the settings is noticeable and annoying enough that I took the time to look for a new configuration and then test, document, and post here for comments; essentially each setting results in an opposing function that feels like it 'doesn't work'. The sampleLine is twice as fast, the corridor surface name is five times slower and the corridorSave is twice as fast.
I could test further, in greater detail, and generate better test runs for comparisons with better accuracy in the measurements but what is here is sufficient to validate that there is a significant difference in opposing function performance with different hardware settings. Until there is more discussion and reproduction of these results I am not going to test further.

Injury hindering Ian Stewart's chances of making Cubs' roster
BY GORDON WITTENMYER email@example.com March 10, 2013 4:00PM
Cubs batter Ian Stewart connects for a two-run homer in the fourth inning of the Chicago Cubs 11-7 win over the San Diego Padres Monday May 28, 2012 at Wrigley Field. | Tom Cruze~Sun-Times
Related Stories
MESA, Ariz. – Third baseman Ian Stewart's chances to make the team appear to be narrowing with every day his window of playing opportunity narrows because of a persistent quad injury.
Manager Dale Sveum said Sunday that the quad strain Stewart suffered Feb. 21 in an intrasquad game is still bothering him enough that his return to the lineup has been pushed back until possibly next week.
Stewart and Josh Vitters have nearly identical injuries and are on a similar timeline, running together daily under supervision of trainers.
"They're still feeling stiffness when they're running at 80 percent," Sveum said. "So hopefully, maybe, this weekend. But it seems to be getting pushed back every day."
The club was originally targeting Friday for Stewart's return, which would give Stewart a small enough window of playing time that Sveum referred to it as a "cram session" of at-bats for making the club.
Sunday Sveum said, "It's getting more crammy."
Opening the season on the disabled list is not among the options the Cubs are considering as they decide whether to commit to paying Stewart's full $2 million contract by putting him on the opening roster or pay just $500,000 by releasing him before that.
Sveum-favorite Luis Valbuena is considered a strong defensive option to take over the position, as he did when Stewart was injured last year. And Valbuena is having an especially strong spring offensively.
--Prospect Junior Lake was scratched from Sunday's lineup after showing up with a sore throwing shoulder. He's day to day.
--Right-hander Matt Garza was to have his recovering left lat evaluated today to determine if he's able to restart a throwing program in the next day or two. He's expected to miss the first month of the season.
--Shortstop Starlin Castro (hamstring) and utility man Brent Lillibridge (groin) both look ready to play, Sveum said, and are scheduled to return to the lineup Wednesday following Tuesday's scheduled off day.

Sorry if this isn't a good place to ask this question; if you have a better idea, please let me know.
I have a weeping pussy willow that was planted last year and did very well. It was a very hot summer and the top of the tree started to turn yellow (I think) and I wondered if it was a little unhappy. Then this year, spring was two weeks late to come and so it flowered its catskins on one side, and then it got cold and by the time the other side tried to flower, the right side ones were going to seed. So after all that, the leaves came and now the top is sparse of leaves, while the bottom 3/4 of the tree is full and beautiful. Any thoughts? Should I fertilize? Water more this summer (supposed to be another hot one)? Will it recover next year and be prettier. Thanks in advance, everyone |

If you decide to fertilize you might consider using 1/2 strength or 1/2 the usual amount. Or better yet, fertilize with organic fertilizer or compost. I would definitely water if it has not rained weekly. I would mulch several inches deep and all the way out to the drip line, but not up against the trunk of the tree (leave a few inches circle around). It sounds like it was stressed and should recover if it is planted in an area that usually has favorable conditions for it (sun? shade? drainage?). I have a new dogwood, and I don't think I watered it enough last year when it was newly planted. I thought it was a goner but it bloomed this year. Also make sure your tree is not being bumped or hit with a mower or string trimmer. That kills lots of trees. Laurie |
Thanks so much. I haven't mulched or fertilized this year but plan to at least fertilize. Mulch seems to be a lot of money and I have a lot of garden. I could just mulch around the tree to help it. This year it has rained so much it was quite unseasonal. So last year, being a really hot summer, I obviously didn't water it enough last year. I will help it along this year and hope for a good comeback next year. I only fear that it is too late for it. ??? |

You might be able to get free tree trimmings that have gone through a chipper shredder from your town, local energy company (they have to trim trees from powerlines) or a tree service company. They will not be as polished looking as the bagged type, but they will serve the same purpose. Goodluck! I also have a willow that is suffering--I think it dries out too much. I moved some of them to a lower spot in my yard and they do better there it seems. If you are having the same heat wave we are, I'd give it a bit of extra water and hope for the best. I tend to avoid fertilizing when plants are stressed unless I can identify a nutrient deficiency. Are the only new leaves turning yellow (chlorosis)? Only old leaves (nitrogen deficiency) or all the leaves in one location of the tree? |

I am on the CIC committee... fanks carola..
Virginia, if you are on Facebook already....type in A Pocono Country Place POA and supposedly you will get in.... we need at least 100 likes, so we can name our own page....whatever that means.... you know how good I am with all this.
Morning! Thanks for the start up Carol. Can't stay here long cause we need to go to the store to get some shopping done so I can continue to wash clothes. At least today is sunny. I have a bit more energy today too!
Nat I found the page without any problem. Just started typing and it came up so I liked it for you. You got 68 likes already. Read the comments too. Boy some people want everything don't they?
Hope everyone has a great day and I'll be back before nap time! LOL!
Good Morning Ladies,
I went to church and had a wonderful time seeing everyone again! I made it though but got a little tired when I was standing outside of church afterwards and had to leave. I came home and fixed my hungry DH breakfast. I used a small saucer to eat out of. DH says that I still don't eat much but I can tell I am eating more now than when sick.
Carol I hope that you get your scooter. That should help you ride around town to get things done.
Diva N I will type that to join you in your board on FB.
Good morning Kimmie!
Laureen that is the only trouble with weekends is that you have to go to the store or wash or something else to get ready for the work week! When do you think you will hear about your transfer?
Have a good one,
Love the thread title, says it all!
Very lovely day here, perfect. Having barbecue chicken and some fire roasted corn, coleslaw, with strawberry short cake for dessert. Easy peasey!
DH is napping in his chair, the house is so quiet except for me tapping on the keyboard.
Will like your page Nat. Dee
Thanks everyone for liking our community page , it put us over the 100 mark..
PS, if you go on that fb, click on photos, scroll down, where the pictures begin, the 7th picture is of Paul and me...I have a white sweater, with green scarf, and Paul has blue shirt and sweater, and wearing glasses.
Nat--you guys look youthful and make a handsome couple. No one overweight in that picture.
I liked the picture of Karen and Virginia with their DHs. Everyone looks of average weight. Motivation to lose weight......lols
I expected Doris back by now. Must be having big computer problems!!
Carol--who has to approve you getting the scooter? Is it part of the national health care program?
Well, a good friend is off to Ireland and I'm jealous. Another friend came to visit from Florida but her mother fell and broke her hip so she had to rush back to check on her. Her mother is 98.
Karen--No more falls and a wonderful visit with your sister and friends and more good eating. Life is good.
Virginia--have you fermented your kefir for a second time? I trying it today. How do you drink It?
Marlene, I'm letting my kerfir ferment for about 24 hours. Next I put the grains in new container of milk. The fermented kerfir gets a tight lid and put in the fridge. I'm only making about 1 - 2 cups each day. I drink an 8 oz glass with I splash of OJ in it. Also tried making smoothies but hate cleaning up the blender. Just wonder how many calories? I'm using 2% milk. I found it helpful to google information and watch the videos.
Karen, glad you were able to go to church today! Definitely no more falling! This is beginning to be an epidemic!
Carol, will Ben be on a break soon? You need to get him to come help you clean out a space in the garage for the scooter! Hope it gets approved quickly!
Don't like our weather report for the next couple of days.
Carol, hope you are able to get the scooter soon. Should make it easier for you with BFF gone so much. Do other folks travel the roadways in scooters? How far is it to get the Sunday papers?
Lots of damage in the mid west from storms overnight. The radar maps are a mess for today but the bad stuff isn't supposed to reach us until late afternoon. We are going to get our walk in a bit early.
Got our walk in with just a few sprinkles as we got back home. Expecting a call from gyn. doc's office today. She is checking on my getting approved for the Forteo study that Eli Lily has going. It is the only approved drug known to rebuild bones. It is a shot you give yourself every day (small needle in the abdomen or thigh). Of course, as with any drug there a many side effects listed so would have to see how it goes. If approved for their study, the cost is greatly reduced.
Hi ladies,
I went out to eat with my two sister. I wore my leg brace and by the time I made it home my left foot was swollen twice its size! The leg brace causes the swelling and so does walking. I was hoping that would all leave with my back surgery! It looks like I will be back to the sandals I wore to church that were light weight and easy to walk in with my foot drop. I can't wait to address this issue with my doc on the 9 th.
Today I am going with my sis to visit my nephew, wife and kids. I will stay off my feet as much as possible.
Dee that meal was easy!!
Diva N I could not get on FB today. I will try later.
Carol when do you get the scooter? That is great that you can go to town and back.
Virginia I envy you being able to walk with you dh. Don't stop unless it is something that prevents you from doing so. The sky here last night was lite up with lightening and thunder.
Marlene I am trying my best not to fall. I am having a wonderful time with my sis. She will be driving today since I can't.
I miss Diva D bantering with her sis!
So our Carol is gonna kinda be a biker...sort of! I'll need pics of this, of course.
Virginia...wish I could walk...I mean...I CAN walk, but you know what I mean. Think I will try going up and down the driveway.
Karen, keep thinking positive...it can't help but get better.
Marlene...just saw a whole spread on Austin in one of my ladies mags. (NO,NAT...
NOT my Chippendales mag!)
Anyhow it is upstairs now, but I'll have to remember to let you know about some of the places...a Vietnamese restaurant, a popular hotel, etc. etc. Sounds like a good place to live.
Sharon...you can't imagine how much I really enjoyed that film clip...I would LOVE to visit Oliveri, but something tells me flying is NOT in my future.
Missing Doris...
Saturday we went car shopping...going through THAT again, and yesterday I watched the events at the Vatican...there was an adventure here last night...see dialogue.
Today is the start of the Healthy Team vs. FAT!
A lot to do today...later...(( )), Rags
We have heavy, cold rain today. We had to get our labs for our appts. tomorrow @ Joslin, out into the driving rain we went. Hubby got all the way inside the building and had forgot to bring his lab sheet in, he was soaked by the time he got back in. I took a chill from my jeans getting soaked and I have been under a blankie with a sweatshirt on for extra warmth. The furnace is whining away saying it is as cold as I am.
Wanting to find somewhere that will have a nice soup for lunch. Soup day for sure!
This is my planned day to start walking, if it is raining I will just do a Leslie Sansone Walk at Home DVD. Glad you got your walk in Virginia.
I miss DD! What is taking her so long to get back on line! Waah!
Our Carol will be mobile soon! Yeah! Takes a boatload of paperwork and lots of $$ to get a scooter here. I know of hardly anyone that has one.
Karen, sorry to hear your foot swelled up so much. I can't wait to hear what the doc says about it.
Off to get a bite of lunch somewhere. Dee
Any of you guys in the middle of those tornadoes?
I do not miss Doris....ok, maybe a little.... computer still down...
Karen, hope you are better soon.....
Had a friend's son come to help me with the outside work, carrying stuff, and cleaning up the outside, he was a great worker... we were busy all day.
Nothing here, just some winds and cool.
Can your friend come help DHand I? DH is working on selling some stuff to get rid of it but it isn't cleaning up the yard and I just haven't had the energy to get out there and work on it. I did get the lawn bags out the other day! LOL!
Scooter situation sounds good Carol. Glad you'll be able to get it. Better to get the road version just in case.
Karen hope the swelling in the foot goes down. It will be interesting to see what the doc says too. If it happens with the brace I'm figuring its making it hard for the blood to get out of the foot especially when its in a down position for any length of time. Does it go down any over night?
Dee the picture of Hailey is just darling! Such a cute little girl.
Rags you getting a new car? What are you looking at. Don't get anything you are going to have to climb into cause with your legs etc that might not be wise.
Virginia did you hear from the doc? Would be great to be part of the study. Those winds you got are probably the winds my son flew through last night on his flight to Mexico. He's there till Friday and said it was a really rough flight. And since he builds jets he notices every little thing that could be "wrong". Hope you didn't have any damage from the winds.
Marlene part of me would like to go to Ireland and/or Scotland but just doesn't seem real safe anymore. I just like traveling!
Well gotta get over the other place. Be back tomorrow night.
Hi all - Well, I'm sorta back. This is an old computer that I finally could get to you on but it isn't easy or pleasant. My son in law was able to retrieve the files I needed from the other computer and will work to get it back in shape. Good luck!!
My sister is here now from Houston which is one reason this will be short - I will be taking her to the airport on Wed. morning.
I haven't had time to read all of the old so excuse the fact that I don't know what is going on.
Thanks Virginia--I remember now that you said you like the taste of buttermilk, etc. I'm disguising it in smoothies. Thinking about taking a shot glass of it to see if I can learn to like it. I added vanilla this time to the strained kefir. I did like the organic orange peel and slices I put in the Kefir once. I stopped taking it after I was put on antibiotics by the dentist and then started again afterwards. The first time after the antibiotics, my stomach complained but usually it's fine.
Karen--when do you get to drive again? I hope the swelling is just part of the healing process for you. I'm trying to prepare for the 8th as I know they will tell me not to drive until the tube comes out. Some of my helpers that helped last time will be out of town so it will be interesting to see how it goes. Maybe it won't be so bad. There's lots of restaurants and stores within walking distance and I will need to walk so.....in case I don't feel like all the food prep stuff and clean up here. I really really really dread this surgery as I just now feeling like my ole self but on the other hand, the out of place expander is aggravating.
Doris--we do miss you!!!! Nat any news about her computer?
Laureen--this is my friend's third trip to Ireland....lucky dog..My nephew flies everywhere for his job including Mexico. I should check on him and see if he is home. What does your son do? My nephew is a mechanical engineer and runs a wire plant.
maybe that front will make it down here and cool things off, but no tornadoes.
Carol--that scooter sounds like fun......and it will allow you more independence to get out when you want to without having to ride that bus.
Perhaps you saw on the weather/news about the tornado and storms tearing through Miss, AL and TN last night. The weakened storm passed probably four miles or so from us. We got lots of rain, wind and lightening. Our power was out maybe an hour.
Welcome back Doris! Hope your computer gets fixed!
Get your walking shoes on ladies, the sun is up!!!
Why is SHE allowed back on the thread??? I thought we got rid of HER......shesshh
Virginia, glad the tornadoes were not in your way; Alabama really got hit...poor people...
Marlene, when are you going for your procedures?
Haven't planted anything yet.....still too early, put my over winter plants outside, to weather them.....will have to bring them in and out, if the temp goes to 32....
Hi Ladies,
I had a fun day at nephew's house with his darling kids, wife and sis. He took us out to eat at Bandanas BBQ. I had the ribs, smoked sausage, baked beans, potato salad and garlic bread. It was real tasty! Sis drove home from there and I got back in time to see DWTS. I haven't voted at all this season. I am so glad that Nene is off. She thinks that she can dance and loves to be the center of attention.
The swelling of my left foot goes down over night but when I walk on it, it swells back up again. It doesn't swell as bad as when I put that foot brace on. I don't think I will be wearing it until I see what happens at the doc or if I will need to see another specialist. I thought this would go away with this back surgery!!!
I have so much leftovers that I will be fixing and eating some of them today. I have leftovers meatballs and spaghetti, prime rib and bbq from yesterday.
Diva D is back online!!! We sure did miss your spunkiness!. I hope your other computer can be fixed. Did you have a virus?
Rags I am about out of positive thoughts! I just want to be able to wear my foot brace so that I don't fall. I will look at PM to see what kind of car you are looking for. I still want a small one but won't get it until the end of this year.
Dee there is nothing worse than to get wet or soaked in the rain. I hope you finally got warmed. A big bowl of soup sounds like just what the doc ordered! I just want the swelling to go away but I think there are other issues involved here. I want to find out what they are and get it taken care of!!!
Carol I need a scooter too to get around town and about. My school friend would ride hers to school and save big gas bucks! The swelling goes down over night until I walk on it. The swelling never goes away. Happy 11th Anniversary here at Prevention! Stay warm!!
Diva N I knew you missed your sis so be nice to her. The bad weather missed us. Glad you got help with outside work.
Laureen I wouldn't have the energy either to do the yard work after putting in a whole day at work. My left outer leg is still sensitive and so is the foot. If I put on shoes or that leg brace it puffs up like a balloon. The swelling goes down a little over night but it stays swollen. I think I have another issue here to deal with. I would love to use my foot brace so that I don't fall.
Marlene I don't get to drive until May 9th when I hope to get released from doc. I had this swelling before my surgery. I couldn't use my foot brace because my left outer leg was sensitive to touch and would swell when anything was put on it. The foot also would swell if shoe was put on it or the brace. Is the surgery to take out the expander? I hope you feel like your ole self again without any down time. You are lucky to have all the eating places so close to you. I would eat out every day because it would be cheaper than fixing a whole meal and having to eat on it for days!!!
oh, don't you remember when you were young, and walk in the rain, and get soaking wet, oh, I would love that, but it would have to be warm..
Karen, you are going to get all better, I just feel it in my bones....
There's Doris!!! You slipped in while I was posting. have fun with your sis.
Nat--tomorrow is PreOp visit and surgery will be on the May 8th.
Karen--Does the surgery seem to have helped at all so far? How's the pain? The surgery is to take out the defective expander and put in a new expander. The expanders are temporary --just to make pockets for the breast implants later. I will drive before they release me if I feel up to par. There's a place a couple of blocks away called "Fit for Life" which supposedly has prepared single meals for take home that are healthy. They don't have too many gluten free meals tho.
About time for my YMCA class so later.
Have a delicious day without the calories.
Happy forum Anniversary Carol!
Nat, I loved to play in the rain as a child, those rains that came straight down and Mom would sit on the porch and watch us. Fun times. Now that i am older I get a chill when I get wet, even in the summer, going indoors the AC makes me cold.
Your menu at the BBQ place sounded so good Karen. We have gone to Smokey Bones a bit lately. I love the fire roasted corn, yumm.
Marlene, how long will you be in the hospital? Sure hope your friends can step up to the plate since some are out of town. I love it when my friends lean on me, makes me feel good to help. Wish I was there to help you! You will be fine. And I totally understand you would be reluctant to have another surgery so soon. Hugs.
DD, do you have the newest IE virus they talked about? Sure hope not. We missed you so much, well, most of us did. LOL! You can guess who didn't! Behave Nat!
Virginia, glad to hear you are ok. My sister lives in Cumberland Gap area of Tenn. and they had storm damage at her house with mostly trees uprooted. My ex SIL had her truck windshield broken by flying limbs. My brother had a lot of damage to his biggest trees. What a mess to clean up.
Off to freshen up before the Joslin Endo appt. this afternoon. We shall go to Target while on that end of town. Fun! We have one right by our house but I love this one by the mall, much nicer and lots more things to choose from.
Sharon, thinking of you today. Dee
tiz raining, and do not want to walk, or sing in the rain.....it got cold.
I did not miss Doris..
Carole, I think Laureen said she has a water fountain.... I have been thinking about one saw one at Dr. Smith and Foster.com.... is this one electric?
Marlene....good luck....
ooo, love the walking barefoot in the puddles
Yep thats the I have 3 of. I think one may given up the ghost but the others are fine. The filter has to cleaned periodically. We made a piece of green scrubby into a filer and its keot the water real clean. Depends on how sloppy they eat etc. Would buy another if one of these broke down. This one is electric Nat. Both drink out of the running water too.
Not sure of Karens area, but around here you can only get a cart or w/c is at a specific place/ audtorium. Towns don't rent them.
Karen hope the doc has an answer for you and a solution.
Well am on the tablet so not easy and NCIS is on so need to go. Battery warning just came on to. Guess its a sign.
Be back tomorrow.
So glad Doris is back. Missed you. Enjoy your sister. Nice when family visits.
I liked to walk in the water along the curbs after a rain as a kid. Still don't care if I get wet. Only use an umbrella if its pouring. Love a nice clean gentle spring rain.
Marlene I'm sure the surgery will go fine. You know what to expect and its replacing the expander, not starting from scratch.
crapy day today....cold, very cold and rainy...can't complain, those poor people in Alabama and Miss...
That fountain is cheaper than the one at Dr. Smith and Foster...I like it.. but changing filter every week, can be expensive...
busy day today,
Good morning ladies,
It got a little cold yesterday evening. I went over to sis' trailer and she fixed us shrimp po'boy sandwiches with the shrimps she bought in N.O. It was very tasty!
DH is letting this guy sell his puppies. I think the guy will try to sell them for $100 each which I don't think he will get that much without papers. The pups are adorable.
Marlene the surgery helped with the pain but not with the swelling. I hope everything goes well with your surgery. You are lucky to have so many eating places.
Dee I have eaten at Smokey Bones and love their bbq,
Kimmie I bet you would love running in the rain when it is hot!
Diva N it is too cold to do anything in the rain now!
Carol I don't need to rent a scooter when I have my truck to drive me all over. I am hoping the doc says that I can drive. There are no places around here to rent scooters. You have to buy them. In tourist areas they rent them to get around town. When do you get your scooter? I like driving the mobile baskets in the stores for people with mobility problems. It sure makes shopping easier. I think Belle will like her water fountain. Did you get enough sleep?
Chilly, drab and rainy... kinda like I feel today.
Want one of dem puppies! Also want someone to come to my house and make me some shrimp po'boys!
Carol, you were just made to have a little girl to spoil...yer gonna go BROKE!
Sharona was supposed to be in the sky today...(with diamonds?). Hope all will be well there.
Marlene...thinking of you a lot. Think I told you about the article in Good Housekeeping that features Austin. Looks like a great place to live...maybe just OUTSIDE the city.
It mentions the Elizabeth St. Cafe for Vietnamese food and the Magnolia Cafe for great breakfasts. Do you go to these? Also the Gourdough's food trucks are mentioned...have something called "over the top donuts". Do they come on your street?
Well, enough about donuts....gonna go visit the healthy eating thread and lose some pounds!
Will try to post here daily, but may not be able to get to all these posts.
(( )) to ALL, Rags
Carol, I know you won't have any problems with the fountain if you clean it every week. We are bad and only clean it when it looks bad. You fill the back tank about every 3 days or so. We have hard water so it gets more crusty things on the motor etc for us. Would be lost without it. I'm sure Belle will enjoy it. She sounds like she's getting more affectionate all the time.
Karen how long will your sis be there? Glad you are enjoying spending time with her.
Rags, no puppies! None for me either. Yep Sharon was in the sky with dia monds! Please no talking about donuts. Don't need any encouragement.
Nat the filter you clean is the little thing in the back of the water and you just wash it out. Takes less than a minute. It just slides up and down in it's slots. Wasn't too bad here but was drizzely which made it hard to enjoy the warmer weather. Was also grey outside. But then I was inside all day!
Work was busy and full of crazy things. Then spent 2 hours with the investment guys and we are combining 3 accounts into one and may add a fourth. Can't remember if it was an IRA or not. We should get a better interest rate with this company. But money is secure and I can't lose what I'm putting in. So many questions though and so much to consider. Exhausting. Came home at 8:30 ate some dinner and now it's past my bedtime.
So going to go to the "other side" for the night.
I really need a puppy. Real bad. never been so long without a doggie friend.
Rags, I've been to Magnolia cafe but not for breakfast. I remember it being good. I haven't been to or heard of the other Vietnamese place. I looked it up and it's"across" the river which means that I seldom venture that far altho several of my friends live in South Austin. I've have to remember it-- if I'm over in that direction at a mealtime. Will be there tomorrow but no time for a meal. Austin is a great place to live (when one is young (cough, cough) but now it just seems crowded and traffic is a b****, I'm sure it will take me 2 hours to get home tomorrow as they are working on the roads again. There's a ton of food trucks around too. A few of them are well known and have been on Food Network. Several of the stone and mortar buildings/restaurants on the next busy road close to me have sprung from food trucks originally. Most of the food trucks start in South Austin where real estate is somewhat cheaper and "weird" is prized. I don't know how I ended up in Central Austin. I swear it use to be North Austin.
Wonderful weather.

Hi!! I am a young mother and student at West Texas A&M University. I love cooking because I do it well. My husband and daughter are always well fed. I like to find creative ways to prepare food for my daughter. She is 3 years old, and like most
children, she is a picky eater. Because I have a busy schedule, I like foods that I can prepare quickly without cooking out of a box. And because we are not a wealthy family, I like to cook great meals with inexpensive ingredients. I enjoy school so I chose to study to become a teacher. I do pretty well in my studies so I am fortunate enough to get good scholarships.
I recently fell in love with tilapia. I love to batter and bake fish. I am a big fan of cheesecake.

WHEN HE WAS an undergraduate student at The University of Texas at Austin, Billy Hibbs, Jr. worked at the university's Bureau of Business Research (BBR). That experience clearly honed the skills and abilities he would need to be a successful businessman. And he is that: Billy is Chairman and CEO of Heartland Security Insurance Group, headquartered in Tyler, Texas.
Started by Billy Hibbs, Sr., in 1967, the diversified holding company welcomed partner James L. Hallmark in 1970, which then established the Hibbs-Hallmark Insurance Agency. Today the organization has expanded to provide a host of insurance services through seven independent operating units. The breadth of services is almost as diverse as the insurance industry itself. Heartland Security Insurance Group has grown in size and scope under the direction of Billy Hibbs, Jr., but he was ready for that growth, thanks to his days at UT Austin's BBR.
Billy and his family had been looking for an opportunity to do something significant at The University of Texas at Tyler, having been actively engaged with UT Tyler throughout most of its 40 year history. When Billy learned that Dr. Harold Doty, Dean of the UT Tyler College of Business and Technology, wanted to establish an organization for business and economic research, Billy was immediately interested. "This is something that is very much needed for East Texas and will complement the mission of the university," Billy said. "UT Tyler students need to know the importance of economic information, how to analyze it, and how to use it in making wise business decisions."
So Billy, along with his mother, Mrs. Jeannie Hibbs, his wife, Tisa Weiss Hibbs, and Barry Jones, the President of Heartland Security Insurance Group—all of whom comprise the Hibbs Family Foundation—created the Hibbs Institute of Business and Economic Research Endowment at The University of Texas at Tyler. "We are so pleased to have the Hibbs name so closely associated with UT Tyler, and to continue our partnership through this new initiative," said UT Tyler President Rodney H. Mabry.
The Hibbs Institute for Business and Economic Research facilitates business growth and economic development throughout East Texas by serving as a key source of information for regional businesses, governments, and economic development agencies.
The institute serves a 41-county area and monitors and reports on critical trends in industry, the economy, and regional demographics. The information is used to attract, start and grow businesses in East Texas. Data resources are provided to assist businesses and government agencies in making decisions critical to economic development. The Hibbs Institute Economic Forecast Summit is held each year to inform area business leaders about emerging trends and insights.
UT Tyler is grateful to the Hibbs Family Foundation for their confidence, support and vision. Because of their generosity, The Hibbs Institute of Business and Economic Research Endowment will benefit East Texas and generations of UT Tyler students to come.

Tumble Drier for the Girls
February 22, 2013 in Uncategorized
Hirsch's Umhlanga recently donated a Tumble Dryer to the Christ Church Foundation when they heard that the girls at the home were having a major problem drying their clothes with all the rainfall that Durban has been experiencing. The foundation's orphanage currently houses 15 homeless girls.
The orphanage provides the girls with shelter and education, giving them a second chance in life.
Christ Church is a mission and development agency committed to serving and addressing the needs of children and youth in KwaZulu Natal. Some of these current needs are: homelessness, dysfunctional families, poverty, HIV and AIDS, gender inequality and life-skills.
On arrival of the Hirsch's truck, the girls all started dancing for joy.
The staff gladly accepted the gift and the delivery team installed it at the home. "We are so happy that a big company like Hirsch's see the good work that we do, and helps us to change their lives" said teacher and house mother, Cynthia Khumalo.

This perfume does not last, not even for ten minutes. So disappointing for the price. Nobody would even know you're wearing perfume because it would be gone by the time you step out the door. Beautiful packaging, amazingly beautiful scent. Such a disappointment.

I absolutely LOVE this fragrance! I got a sample from Sephora, and it was love at first spritz! I knew as soon as I emptied that little sample vial that I would be taking a trip to the mall for more! Marc Jacobs Daisy is like crack to me: highly addictive & I can't get enough of it. I have been wearing this fragrance every day since I first used up that sample, and I can't think of any fragrance that is more "me." Daisy is a pretty, delicate, floral that reminds me of wearing fresh, clean linens on a breezy spring day when all of the new plants are beginning to sprout buds. I just love everything about this fragrance- except for the price. Unfortunately, greed in the beauty industry has just become more and more rampant, and Marc Jacobs products are no exception.

Gorgeous scent, when I first smelt it - it was subtle yet so unique. Works well with the chemistry of my skin however only for 10 minutes. This product does not last! I am literally out the door and it is gone, when comparing this with my other go to scent; Issey Miyake Leau Dissey which lasts at least 24 hours on me, Daisy just does not compare.

My all time favorite perfume. It smells really floral and girly, which is the reason why I love it. It's perfect for younger people, because of how vibrant it is. I prefer this over the other Marc Jacobs perfumes, and I will definitely repurchase this as soon as I run out.

I love this fragrance and definitely wears it almost everyday in the morning! It just smells really fresh and not too strong. The packaging is absolutely cute too. For some reason, it does not last too long on me which is why I took off 1 lippie.

For the third straight year, a group from the Jordan Brand Classic is travelling Internationally -- this time to Istanbul, Turkey -- for a two-day training camp with 40 of the top prospects in Europe from March 3-8. Ten players will be selected as the Most Valuable Players from the camp and they will travel to the United States in April, along with six players from other regions of the world to compete in the third annual International Game as part of the Jordan Brand Classic on Saturday, April 17th at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Follow along with our blog and daily photo gallery from staff member Kevin Foley.
March 6th (6:00 am EST / 1:00 pm Turkish time)
It's the first day of camp! There was no snow on the ground this morning, so we were all happy that the weather held off. The buses were loaded with players and staff at 8 am and we were on our way to the Darüşşafaka arena. The first session of the morning was strength and conditioning work with NIKE Sparq trainer Chris Thomas. For almost 90 minutes, the players learned ways to stretch out and to improve their core strength. The workout was very tough for a lot of the players, especially for the bigger kids who are so tall at an early age. Too often players at this age focus on the game, rather than improving their own bodies off the court.
We ate lunch at a nearby cafeteria. The food was pretty good - chicken, spaghetti, french fries and a salad. I sat with two of our NIKE country managers from Slovenia and Serbia. I always find it fascinating to learn about the global game of basketball, especially how others in sports marketing run events and develop their players. It is great to be around so many people who are passionate about continuing to grow the game and helping young players reach their dreams.
Before the second session, I had a chance to see the local Darüşşafaka Cooper Tires Turkish team practicing - including Jordan Brand Classic alum Jamareo Davidson who played at Alabama. There was also one of the local Turkish players who was our Turkish MVP from the first year of the event. It is such a nice arena so it must be an unbelievable atmosphere for games. I will be back after the afternoon Skill Development session with Ganon Baker.
March 6th (10:00 am EST / 5:00 pm Turkish time)
Ganon Baker took over in the afternoon with a very strenuous skill development workout focusing on improving dribbling and shooting. The players really got into the drills, which have become a great tool for evaluation. And Ganon spared no one, using boxing gloves, padded oars and tennis balls in two hours of intensity. The goal is to simulate the physical play that these players are going to experience in future years. The players know that there are 10 spots to earn a trip to New York City so every play is important. The rest of the day will include various shooting competitions and 5-on-5 games. At this point, the players are tired and in a lot of pain, but the desire to play well is evident. More later from Istanbul!
March 6th (6:00 pm EST / 1:00 am Turkish time)
The day finished up with some very competitive 3-on-3 games. While a couple of the players showed off some athleticism with a few dunks in the game, they really took on a fundamental look. I watch so much American basketball and you can see such a major difference in the style of play. For example, players in Europe actually rebound. The shot goes up, they box out and grab the rebound with two hands. The American game of basketball is more above-the-rim with players trying to tip-in shots or knock them away from the basket. I really enjoyed watching the games -- and it is still hard to believe that these are only 16-year-old kids.
After the session ended at 8:15 pm, we went back to the hotel, changed and went out to dinner. We always try to see some of the cooler spots, given that we spend 90% of our time in the gym during the trip. We went to a restaurant called "360" which was at the top of a building and had a panoramic view of the city. It was a little overcast, so I could only imagine how amazing the view would be on a perfect day.
Because of traffic we didn't even get to the restaurant until 10:15, then climbed up 15 flights of stairs to the rooftop. We ended up eating close to 11:30, but I had a great steak and a "jenga"-looking stack of french fries. When in a foreighn country and with a foreign menu, you can never go wrong with a steak. As people finished eating around us, the staff would come by and swoop-up the table to create a dance floor. By about 12:15 am, the music became so loud you couldn't hear the person next to you. At 12:30 am, a cirque-du-soleil character emerged on top of one of the tables twirling a hoola-hoop contraption. Everyone stood to see and ... the tables quickly disappeared faster. Good plan by the restaurant. We finished our meal, briskly walked through the below-freezing temperatures and headed back to our mini-bus for the ride back to the hotel. My head hit the pillow at 1:15 am -- 19 hours after my alarm went off this morning. We have a busy final day tomorrow with our all-star game and selection of the 10 MVPs.

Jet Set Waterproof Eye Liner is yet another gel eyeliner whose price tag isn't warranted given its blatant, late-to-the-game-yet-with-nothing-new-to-add similarities to several less-expensive options. This is waterproof, comes in a range of classic and trendy colors (of which Teal is not recommended), and wears beautifully. We couldn't fault anyone for using this eyeliner, but we'd be sure to tell them they spent too much money!
Note: like most long-wearing gel liners, this one has a tendency to dry out unless you replace the cap tightly after each and every use. Forgetting to do this even once can make this eyeliner unusable.
Perhaps one of the most interesting things about Smashbox is that its name refers to the early, accordion-style cameras and that Smashbox is first and foremost a Hollywood-based photography studio. The company's creators, Dean and Davis Factor, have their heritage in makeup—their great-grandfather was the legendary makeup artist Max Factor. However, this seems to be a case where the proverbial apple didn't fall all that close to the tree. It is apparent that Dean and Davis are better at their respective careers as CEO and photographer, respectively, than at creating a cosmetics line. The makeup, which debuted in 1996, began as a collection of trendy and fashion-forward colors coupled with a pleasingly neutral palette of foundations, concealers, and powders. Nowadays, many of the colors are too sheer to register on medium to dark skin tones, shiny products abound, and several of the complexion-enhancing products just don't look as natural on skin as they should. In fact, the foundations and concealers could use some updating; they haven't kept pace with what other makeup artistry lines are launching, and don't demonstrate much longevity under normal conditions, as in day-to-day casual makeup.
Realizing that celebrities sell products better than the product claims themselves, Smashbox steadily capitalizes on its ties to Hollywood and often mentions several famous faces who wear their products. Their counter brochures follow suit, tempting women to sit down with a Smashbox artist to get the star treatment. It's easy to get caught up in the hype, but as a comprehensive line Smashbox doesn't have what it takes to create A-list glamour, at least not if you're looking for cutting-edge textures and finishes.

Il Mulino for Miami Spice: Pure Elegance and Veal Rigatoni
We are past the halfway point of Miami Spice. You know what that means? You only have a short time left to have a three-course feast. Not sure where to go? Take a drive to Sunny Isles beach for some scenery and an exquisite Miami Spice dinner that would otherwise never be possible at $39. all photos by Carla Torres What's cooking for Miami Spice? Il Mulino
Il Mulino has history, New York kind of history. Located at the Aqualina towers, the place looks like a Rolls Royce dealership. The restaurant is as fancy as it gets. A Maitre'd welcomes you, while a captain (server) guides you through culinary wonderland.
See also: Miami Spice at J&G Grill: Just Grand
Sit down and before you even have the chance to glance at a menu, you're overwhelmed with options. Two baskets of bread, a slab of parmiggiano, fried zucchini, bruschetta with mussels, and spicy salami make for the perfect antipasti. And it's all complimentary.
Order and your pasta gets prepped and sautéed table-side, your branzino sliced fresh, and professionally cleaned so there's no waste. These are all very difficult things to do while wearing a tuxedo, with a white shirt nonetheless, and executed with nothing less than impeccable tact. The same as the food.
A cheesy welcome makes you feel giddy, and excited for the meal that awaits.
Caprese features fresh buffalo mozzarella with sliced tomato and basil. Other appetizer options include a classic spinach salad with bacon and mushrooms, mussels with white site sauce or spicy marinara, or parpadelle pomodoro drenched in fresh tomato and basil sauce (pictured below). Possibly the best cooked pasta I've ever eaten. You can attribute that to the tableside sautee.

Vetri-Liver Canine Bite-sized Chews are designed to support liver health, methylation processes and detoxification functions in dogs.Add this item to your cart:
Phase I and Phase II support: Phase I detoxification involves the neutralizing of unwanted chemicals by conversion. Toxins like hormones, drugs, pesticides, pollutants etc. are converted into less harmful substances. Free radicals are produced during this process. If excessive, those radicals can damage liver cells. Nutrients like b vitamins, vitamin E, folic acid, glutathione and other antioxidants contained in Vetri-Liver Canine support the process of neutralizing free radicals. Phase II detoxification involves the elimination of unwanted substances from the body, also through conversion, from water-soluble chemicals into substances that can be excreted via bile and urine. Glutathione, turmeric and cysteine, included in Vetri-Liver Canine, support this pathway and the conversion process. Important Ingredients: Dimethylglycine DMG: Vetri-Science® Laboratories' patented product to support the production of glutathione and SAMe and to support immune system health. DMG also supports circulation and acts as an antioxidant. Gluta-Syn: 1000 mg of Gluta-Syn whey protein isolate support glutathione production and liver detoxification. Artichoke leaf extract: This extract supports bile flow and helps support normal liver metabolism. N-acetyl cysteine: This antioxidant supports sulfur donation and glutathione production, as well as offers antioxidant support. Vitamins E & A: These two vitamins help the body to protect the liver from copper accumulation and free radical damage, respectively. Vitamin B's: B vitamins help to support energy and the methylation process, which in turn supports liver detoxification processes.

The Morales case was not the company's first accounting headache. There were separate, earlier incidents suggesting Quail H Farms was leaking money, Smith said.
"In late 2009, I locked down on the cash sales side of our business and the accounting quickly went from $75,000 or $100,000 to about $250,000," he said. Among other procedural changes, cash and paperwork began to accompany each other from start to finish.
If the difference was being skimmed, it's unknown who the recipients were.
Civil suit filed
The case against Morales concerned sales made from October 2010 to January 2011. Quail H Farms went on to name her and El Cocho Produce among others as defendants in a civil suit filed Aug. 27 in state Superior Court in Los Angeles.
The suit alleges that starting in October 2010, El Cocho Produce buyer Hector Santos paid Morales for fresh produce in cash or checks payable to her, or deposited funds to her personal checking account. The sales were made without permission of Quail H Farms, according to court documents.
El Cocho Produce did not immediately answer phone calls seeking comment. Jeffrey Salberg, an attorney representing Quail H Farms, said in an e-mail that the Los Angeles company filed a general denial of claims. A written discovery process is next.
Morales sold and delivered more than $225,000 worth of products to Santos and to El Cocho Produce principal Alberto Arellano, the suit alleges, but Quail H Farms was paid only about $108,000. The company claims more than $29,000 was paid to Morales.
"Defendants knew ... that they would continue to receive substantial price concessions and credits if they continued to pay Morales directly for the produce," the suit claims.
