Skin Clinic: Lia, Week 3
Lia, 16, has oily skin and can't get rid of her zits! She washes and exfoliates all the time, but nothing seems to work.
"This week, I've noticed that I had a small breakout. It wasn't anything serious, just a few little bumps here and there. Maybe it's because of the stress with balancing my schoolwork, cheerleading, helping out after school, and preparing for a sweet 16 that I'm participating in.The majority of my skin looks pretty healthy to me. I'm continuing my use of the Retin-A every night, and each morning when I wake up, I see an improvement. It's good to wake up in the morning and see something better about your skin. Even the slightest improvement makes me happy!"

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Brice!
Facts about Brice

- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Brice's Info...

Other Pets at WV Pet, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Brice, a Morgantown Dachshund dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Dachshund for sale in Morgantown, or seeking a Dachshund dog from a breeder in Morgantown.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Morgantown already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Morgantown breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Dachshund breeders who help with Dachshund rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Morgantown paves the way for another one to be saved.

This week, in Washington's war of attrition over the debt ceiling, the media has had many a political soundbite tossed its way: Bigger governments and smaller people.
Sacred cows. That dirty word, compromise.
These all had their moments, but none of them have made the media rounds quite like "blank check."
"Blank check" had been a rhetorical favorite of the Republican party for months, but the catchphrase really came into its own this week, yes, because it was a Republican talking point, but also because the media repeated it a lot.
Things really got going on Monday when Speaker of the House John Boehner responded to President Obama's address to the nation about raising the debt ceiling.
"The sad truth is that the president wanted a blank check six months ago, and he wants a blank check today. That is just not going to happen."
With little regard to whether or not this statement was true, the media found it particularly quotable.
The line was repeated the next day in stories like this one in The New York Times:
In response to Mr. Obama, Mr. Boehner said: "The sad truth is that the president wanted a blank check six months ago, and he wants a blank check today. That is just not going to happen."And incorporated into headlines, like this one from Bloomberg: "Boehner to Offer Plan to Avert Default, Deny Obama 'Blank Check.'"
Mr. Boehner urged the president to sign a Republican plan to raise the debt limit. "If the president signs it," he said, "the 'crisis' atmosphere he has created will simply disappear. The debt limit will be raised."
Or this one from the Associated Press: "House speaker says Obama won't get 'blank check'," which was turned into this one in The Washington Post: "On heels of Obama speech, House speaker says president won't get 'blank check' in debt fight."
ABC's Nightline, in a simple blog post, gave its audience the night's most quotable soundbites to go on and polled "Obama vs. Boehner: Who came out on top?"
"The only reason this balanced approach isn't on its way to becoming law right now is because a significant number of Republicans in Congress are insisting on a different approach, a cuts-only approach." —President Barack Obama
"The sad truth is that the president wanted a blank check six months ago, and he wants a blank check today. That is just not going to happen."
—Speaker John BoehnerWith whom do you agree?
Whether one is to infer both statements are true and equally weighable or whether, that only message—and not truth—matters in these contests is left up to the discretion of the voter. The above news stories were no better, and made no bother examining whether the 'blank check' charge of their headlines or texts were fair.
Of course, the message does matter, which is why media should use some discretion when reporting political talking points. The Speaker's comments should of course be part of the coverage on the debt ceiling debate, but it's critical these comments are reported with context, and not merely amplified by media play. (Crossroads GPS is already shelling out plenty to spread this talking point around.)
If the Speaker of House is spouting an out-an-out lie as, Adam Serwer was quick to point out on The Washington Post's Plum Line blog, was the case with Boehner's "blank check" line, this misleading rhetoric needs to be noted.
First—much to the chagrin of liberals—the president has already said he's willing to make cuts to entitlement programs. That is not the sticking point—rather, it's that the GOP is adamant that the burden of the deficit must be borne exclusively by people who rely on those programs and not include any increases in revenue for the wealthy.
But the far more dishonest statement is Boehner's line that the debt ceiling amounts to a "blank check." This is a straight-up lie. Not the everyday, casual fudging that politicians do, but a straight up lie. As the Government Accountability Office explains: "The debt limit does not control or limit the ability of the federal government to run deficits or incur obligations. Rather, it is a limit on the ability to pay obligations already incurred."
This isn't a perfect metaphor, but not raising the debt ceiling is more like refusing to pay your credit card bill than it is akin to asking for a blank check. Congress appropriates funds; if they don't want Obama to spend more, it's within Congress's power to withhold that money. That's you know, in the Constitution. I believe the GOP insisted on it being read at the beginning of the 112th Congress, but they don't seem to have been paying attention.

1.1 The Elements of Programming
A powerful programming language is more than just a means for instructing a computer to perform tasks. The language also serves as a framework within which we organize our ideas about processes. Thus, when we describe a language, we should pay particular attention to the means that the language provides for combining simple ideas to form more complex ideas. Every powerful language has three mechanisms for accomplishing this:
- primitive expressions, which represent the simplest entities the language is concerned with,
- means of combination, by which compound elements are built from simpler ones, and
- means of abstraction, by which compound elements can be named and manipulated as units.
In programming, we deal with two kinds of elements: procedures and data. (Later we will discover that they are really not so distinct.) Informally, data is "stuff" that we want to manipulate, and procedures are descriptions of the rules for manipulating the data. Thus, any powerful programming language should be able to describe primitive data and primitive procedures and should have methods for combining and abstracting procedures and data.
In this chapter we will deal only with simple numerical data so that we can focus on the rules for building procedures.[4] In later chapters we will see that these same rules allow us to build procedures to manipulate compound data as well.
My bterhor and fiance have been coming from Manhattan to this restaurant for years and after reading your review, I'm finally going to venture to Woodside and try it!!!

82 Embassy in Washington to Department of External Affairs
Cablegram 234 WASHINGTON, [22] [1] February 1948, 6 p.m.
Security Council 21st February continued the Indonesian debate.
1. Sastroamidjojo pointed out that arrangements are proceeding for new state in West Java despite fact that it is disputed territory.
Thanked U.S.A. for insistence of good faith in implementation and China for remarks reported in our 161. [3] Resolution does not satisfy all Indonesians' needs and Committee must be strengthened.
Mentioned Hatta's letter to Van Mook on interim Government. [4] 2.
Lopez (Colombia) Committee should be strengthened.
3. Forsyth pointed ou[t] that while Canadian resolution [5] expressed majority views as to commendation and continuance of Committee and keeping Council informed, it did not take account of the feeling of several members that Committee should be strengthened. No one had opposed the principle of Judge Kirby's suggestion and the principle was acceptable to the other members of the Committee. Weight should be given to opinion of the Committee or of a number of Committee. Difficulties already arising in Indies e.g. West Java, interim Government and trade.
Committee will need all support and strength to handle difficulties. The Council should trust Committee and gave it approval for the additional means suggested.
4. Argentina Committee should proceed on present lines.
5. Van Kleffens (Netherlands). There is no [a priori] [6] objections to a Committee of Good Offices making suggestions. A matter of expediency for decision at each stage. As regards publicity however, this involves pressure and is incompatible with 'good offices' unless by agreement with parties or by report of Council. Committee by its nature cannot use pressure. Regarding Chinese suggestion or arbitration of d[if]ferences in interpretation this would destroy atmosphere of conciliation.
Republic request of 15th February to cancel West Java conference should not have been addressed to the Dutch, but to the people concerned. Netherlands will not foment but neither will it suppress popular movement for new states.
6. Chairman stated that since proposal that Committee make suggestions and publish them involved two Governments, Committee and Security Council, a formal motion would be necessary.
7. Lopez (Colombia) tabled an amendment consisting of additions to Canadian resolution to effect that parties avail themselves of Committee's assistance in case of d[if]ferences in interpretation of Renville and that Committee make use of appropriate means to assist parties to reach settlement.
8. Forsyth then formally presented the following amendment as new paragraph to be inserted immediately following present third paragraph of Canadian text:-'Considers that it is a matter for the Committee of Good Offices itself as to whether the Committee in the future should make and at its discretion publish suggestions to the parties to help them in reaching a political settlement, without necessarily waiting for the parties to request them to do so.' 9. China supported by Colombia asked for adjournment.
10. Next meeting fixed for Thursday morning 26th.

Video Game Disk Repair
Arcade game repair can save you $40-80 in replacement costs for your favorite game DVDs. For just a few dollars, you can use the Scratch Gone CD video game repair service and have your PlayStation and Xbox games in like-new condition. We can grind away, polish and remove every scratch on a game disk and have it back to you right away.
Disc Game Repair
Our game disc repair service is simple. Pop your scratched game disks in the mail and we'll fix every CD scratch quickly and professionally. Send us your scratched CD and we'll fix the game in no time at all. We fix the disc by running it through a wet-sanding process using microprocessor-controlled equipment, which almost always will completely eliminate every visible scratch and abrasion. Essentially, our machinery grinds away the worn layer of plastic in a multi-step sanding and polishing process, resulting in your used game CDs coming out looking brand new (see below). Unlike a home
game repair kit,
which can leave your valuable game discs in worse condition than they started in, our process uses the latest repair technology to yield the best results possible.
Game vs. DVD Disk Repair
There are slight differences between game CD and DVD repair. Basically, a game CD or DVD has a thin foil layer impregnated with information. In a DVD, this foil layer is near the center. With a music CD or game disk, this data layer is closer to the label side. This means that you can fix game CDs more often than DVDs, and remove a CD scratch that is far deeper than on a DVD. In short, a game CD is very easily refurbished. When you get your game back from us, you'll find that we remove all scratches on the playing surface leaving it in easily resalable condition. Get it fixed, solve it and then trade it in or sell it for a much better deal than had it been beat up and scratched. Check out our

Gaming the Dice: How Randomness Contributes to Game Experiences
More than any other medium, games allow randomness. Dumb chance or unfulfilled omens in a film are labelled plot holes, but unpredictable consequences are natural to games. It's perfectly acceptable for a video game hero to get by with the help of luck, as players we experienced it so we don't need a strict explanation for every second of play.

Today is the Norwegian National Day. This is the day we celebrate our constitution and our great nation. I feel privileged to be born in Norway, in so many ways. We have our freedom and stability, we have a secure economy with jobs for everyone and we have plenty of space and unspoiled nature. So today we celebrate how lucky we are..., but are we taking all this for granted? Do we really know how lucky we are, and what obligations follow with this privilege? I think not. Over and over again we see how economic growth and wealth rampage our natural heritage to feed our constant need for more and more - and we end up with less.

Summary: This book is authored by Judith Martin, co-author of the classic child welfare text with Dr. Alfred Kadushin. The book describes the process of carrying out one of the core child welfare services for families: foster family care. Taking an in-depth look at this service, Foster Family Care moves the reader from the experiences of children and their parents as they first enter care, through the process of settling in and confronting the problems that led to the ...show moreneed for placement, to an assessment of the outcomes of care and its consequences for the growing child. The book offers a thorough review of current literature on foster family care and a critical perspective on this service. A central theme is the concept of quality service delivery; the perspective draws heavily on attachment theory and on practice principles embedded in the concept of permanency planning.

So of course two weeks ago I planted a begonia, a geranium, mint, 3 bleeding hearts and ten other flowering plants during the most recent "hot" spell in Calgary when the temps were around the early 20s mark.
Naturally, tonight, the forecast calls for upto 4 cm of snow. Much to the amusement (I am sure) of my neighbours, I ran out in my pjs and slippers to cover up the poor plants. After having run out of burlap and tarp, I had to resort to inverted Turkish coffee cups (they're just the right size for the small seedlings that were just beginning to sprout), and three large, plastic, transparent containers. I was warned by a friend NOT to plant anything outside until after the last long weekend of May. Alas. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hopefully any damage to plants will be minimal. I read that most trees, shrubs and perennials tolerate those wet snowfalls but not sure about annuals. As for planting things out on the Victoria day long weekend (last weekend), I guess it's a general guideline. Some years you may be okay planting sooner, other years in early June you can get a frost. I took holidays this week to plant things in the yard but haven't got many things planting due to the rain and cool temps. Theres a risk of frost tonight, but I'll just gather my planted pots together and cover them. glen |
Nadia, you may want to stock up on covering material for your plants which is not plastic. Plastic does not have much insulating value, although it does keep the weight of the wet snow off the plants. Fortunately this recent dump of wet snow did not include freezing temperatures. |

How I Prepare Myself for Worship
I was 22 when I took my first pastorate, a small congregation in Fort Wayne, Indiana. At best we averaged forty-five people in worship.
Before that peak, we had one rough stretch. As some members moved and others went away for the summer, our average attendance over a five-month stretch dropped steadily from forty-seven to forty-four to thirty-three to twenty-two and finally, by the middle of August, to eleven.
One Sunday morning only eight people attended church. When my family came back for the evening service, nobody else showed. No one.
I sat discouraged in the front row next to Anna, my wife, and our baby, who was lying in a bassinet.
I already was defeated after the morning service, but now I felt simply awful. What in the world am I doing here? I thought. If we had had enough money, I would have packed my family in the car and left town. But we didn't have it.
As I was sitting there, I made what I later realized was a crucial decision.
"Honey," I said to my wife, "you stay here with the baby and kneel. I'm going to the nursery to pray. If I we don't pray right now, this will beat us."
While praying in the nursery, I saw a mental picture of the church building on fire-not burning up, but flames were going up from the building, and the cinders were blowing east of the church and raining on top of houses, igniting them. I felt the Lord was telling me he was still intending to bring his "fire" to that church.
I was strengthened and encouraged to stay at the church, which I did for another two years. I can't say the church exploded with Spirit-filled enthusiasm after that. In fact, it never became much larger than it was at its peak. But in those two years, we had a number of families from that housing development to the east start attending.
That incident reinforced for me the priority of prayer in ministry and especially in preparing to lead worship. A pastor, of course, must do many things to prepare to lead people weekly in worship, from preparing a sermon to making sure hymnals are in place. But before I attend to technical matters, I've learned to attend to spiritual concerns.
What Distracts Us from Worship
Prayer helps my heart, mind, and soul focus on the meaning and direction of worship. I make prayer a priority because it dissolves the distractions of worship. My story illustrates a leading distraction: the yearning for superficial success. Certainly, I was concerned about the spiritual welfare of individuals at the time, but I confess I was also overly concerned with mere numbers.
But the yearning for "successful" worship can take other forms, each of which undermines our ability to lead worship in a right spirit.
1. Seeking a smooth service. During one recent Sunday service, I became angry. A group that was to make a presentation didn't show up on time; it was a rainy day, and the van that was supposed to bring them was late. I became irritated and said a couple of abrupt things to a staff member on the platform.
At once, I felt rebuked. First, I ...

The problem is distribution, not supply. Releasing oil from the Stragic Petroleum Reserve does no good since 2 of the 4 refineries that produce gasoline are shut down due to the hurricane. The supply is there, just sitting at the end of the pipeline. The problem is the pipelines that serve the eastern part of the US are only operating at about 50% right now. They hope to have them near 100% by the end of the week. Hopefully we will start to see a drop in gas prices by then. I doubt it though. The thing that needs to happen now is the refinery companies need to get their plants fully operational so we don't have another shortage once the current supply runs low.

Now you know what it's like to work at Bravo! Ristorante.
As if waiting tables weren't difficult enough -- answering questions about the menu, taking orders, bringing plates, whisking plates away -- servers at this upscale, contemporary Italian eatery in the Adam's Mark Hotel are also required to sing show tunes, opera pieces and, of course, "Happy Birthday," which they perform in a unique way involving their own tune and lots of streamers. Since they also handle the same number of tables as the average server in your average non-musical restaurant, it's comforting to hear that they earn a larger hourly wage for their vocal expertise -- and even more comforting to know they're making a living doing what they enjoy most.
1550 Court Place
Denver, CO 80202-5107
Category: Bars and Clubs
Region: Downtown Denver
Hours: 11:30 a.m.-2 p.m., 5:30-10:30 p.m. Monday-Thursday
11:30 a.m.-2 p.m., 5:30-11 p.m. Friday
5:30-10:30 p.m. Saturday
5:30-10:30 p.m. Sunday.
"It was tough at first," says singer-server Kristen Brown. "It's like trying to do any two jobs at once. I had a rough time being competent as a server and making my brain focus on that part of the job, which involves a lot of mental organization and intense concentration, and then switching to a completely different part of my brain, the creative part that just lets go and sings. And then you have to be very organized to make sure your food isn't going to sit there while you're finishing up a song. But singing is what I was meant to do, and this supplements my income from the singing group I belong to."
All of the dinner servers at Bravo! -- there's no singing at lunch, although there's usually a piano player -- are professional singers. The servers keep tabs on each other through the evening, and the minute all of them have a break, they come together for a song. "We never get a breather, really, the way you might in a regular restaurant job," Brown explains. "When we have that rare moment when everyone's been served and it's really a matter of going back around to make sure there's nothing else needed, that's when most servers would run to the ladies' room or chat with other servers. But that's when we sing."
Their singing is wonderful. Although the room has good acoustics and we could have chatted over the music without much problem, we found that we wanted to listen. You're simply not going to hear "Your feets too big, don't want ya, 'cause your feets too big" while you munch on calamari anywhere else in town.
The music would fall on deaf ears, though, if the rest of the Bravo! dining experience weren't also worthy of note. The dining room is open and spacious -- the singers can move easily between the tables -- and decorated in classic hotel-restaurant style: inoffensive, muted tones; billowy, floor-length draperies; a grand piano and formal furniture that isn't so stuffy you can't relax. The tidy kitchen is open to the dining area, and a large, glassed-in wine cellar adds an extra touch of class.
The menu fits perfectly with the setting, offering few surprises beyond very reasonable prices, considering the entertainment factor. But while Bravo! is not the place for innovative or off-the-beaten-path Italian fare, the dishes we tried were well executed and appealingly flavored. Executive chef Doug Ganz grew up on Long Island, where he started working in Italian restaurants at the age of fourteen, and he's cooked in Florida, Amsterdam, the U.S. Virgin Islands and, most recently, the Swan at the Inverness Hotel in Englewood. He has a real eye for detail and presentation, along with an affinity for bold flavors, and they both show to good advantage at Bravo! For example, Ganz's palate-catching antipasto platter -- garnished with fresh raspberries and blueberries -- included portabello slices that had been marinated until the spongy mushrooms absorbed both sweet and sour flavors; lightly seared, rare tuna slices rimmed with a dusting of ground fennel and drizzled with both basil-based and lemon-flavored aiolis; juicy, ripe chunks of honeydew wrapped in straight-from-Parma prosciutto; fresh, hand-selected, oil-slicked arugula leaves; bruschetta topped with diced romas, plenty of garlic and olive oil, and fresh basil; and fresh mozzarella that was heaven paired with thinly sliced soppresata, a ginger-scented, pork-based Basilicata sausage that tastes like salami with class.
The cheese plate, or formaggi misti, was another grazer's paradise, with well-chosen Parmigiano-Reggiano, young goat cheese and Cacio d'Roma, a mild-flavored semi-hard cheese that was perfect with the jumbo water crackers provided. The only thing on the plate that wasn't in tip-top shape was the Gorgonzola, which was drier than it should have been. At first I thought the cheese might be the firmer, naturale style -- as opposed to the sweeter, softer dolce -- but its flat flavor suggested that it was American-made rather than Italian and had simply been cut ahead of time.

is this bb compatible with fsa comet crankset?
The FSA Comet crankset uses the MegaeXo bottom bracket, and there seems to be a great deal of compatibility between HollowTech and MegaeXo hardware. They are both external cup bottom brackets for 68mm shells and 24mm splines. They may require the use of different spacers but it should work with a little help from someone at your local bike shop.

Last year I spent 5 months in the hospital I survived the stay, but my plants didn't, lol. I'm disabled and can't drive. I do 95% of my shopping online, I only go out to get groceries once a month. So replacing my plants has been difficult. I was looking at different places online, but a lot of them are either overpriced or have bad reputations. I'm simply looking to replace my spider plants and philadendrons. Any suggestions on sites? I'll deal with the fact that I can't hang plnts in my new apartment later, lol. Have a nice dresser I can put them on. Thanks in advance. Jen Off to read the forums some more, so much info. |

I'm sorry about your injury. Have you checked Ebay? Toni |
You might try Freecycle or Craig's List in your community. Plus, your grocery store might be a good place to look. |

Yes, that's me, the sans-for-postage person. I also happen to have an extra spider plant, and more than enough heart-leaf Philo vine, if that's the Philo you'd like to replace. So glad to hear you are recovered enough to 'need' some new plants! You're welcome to send me a private if you'd like to talk about a for-postage deal for these plants. Also have Callisia fragrans and some Aglaonemas if you're interested, and a few other odds'n'ends that could all fit together in a medium flat rate USPS box. |

Wow, thank you everyone. I don't Ebay. I've just had too many problems with them an their sellers. Purple I just emailed you. If you have something that needs a good home, I'll take it, lol. I use to do exotic bird rescue, now it's plants. At least the plants won't poop on me or chew up the TV remote, lol. Jen |

Jen, you said you used to do Exotic Bird Rescue. Were you a volunteer? 10 or so years ago, I was planning on doing the same, but, at the time I worked, plus we had a dog, cat and 9 birds. I know what you mean about plants not pooping on everything in sight. :) I'm happy Purple is helping you out. |
- Posted by artisticjen none (My Page) on Fri, Nov 1, 13 at 12:46
Toni-I wasn't a volunteer. It was something my and I did. We took in birds with bahavior problem or had phydical disabilities. At one point we had 26 birds, ranging from a Macaw to Cockatoos to Cockatiels to Lovebirds. If nobody wanted them and they needed a home, we took them. I also did behavioral work with owners and their birds. I had to give it up when I left the ex and became disabled. I've been around birds my whole life. I love anything with feathers, lol. But I also like long haired kitty cats. ;) Right now I just have my Pionus. I'm thinking about getting her a Then again, there's alot of things I want to do but just can't. See what happens when you get me talking (typing) about birds, lol. I'll stop now. Jen |

Jen, second to plants, I enjoy talking birds. :) Cats, dogs, too... You'll be blessed taking in birds w/behavior problems and disabilities. Especially disabilities. One problem with large birds, such as Macaws..People see blue/gold/red feathered friends at their local pet store..An employee convinces 'x' customer what great pets Macaws make. "He only eats seeds." NOT! A few months later, 'if that long,' 'x' customer is bored w/their macaw, keeps the poor guy/gal locked in its cage. Ignores..and hears complaints from their EX-neighbor friends. One reason there's so many abandoned birds. It's sad. We had a Catalina a little over 21-years. As he aged, he grew violent..and very very possessive. Long story, but I had to find a home for our guy. He was surgically sexed, so we knew he was male. Point is...When we went to the pet store, I intended to buy a Cockatiels. An employee hurried over...gotta make $.. Sorry, I could go on and on, but better stop.. lol. What type of friend are you considering...for your Pionus. Toni |

Electioneering at New York Tech Meetup
About 60 of 200 registered attendees gathered at New Work City last night to hear two-minute speeches by the candidates for an open New York Tech Meetup board seat. Meetup and NYTM founder Scott Heiferman stood in the audience in a red hoodie, board member Esther Dyson settled on the window ledge in a #newsfoo t-shirt, and scene staple Gary Sharma wandered about with his sponsored tie (Pivotal Labs and Inkba) as 15 candidates gave their vision of what should change about the largest meetup in New York, which last year incorporated as a nonprofit 501c(6), giving it the power to lobby government, among other things.

Penza and other wholesalers say the general economic slowdown prompts them to only work harder and work to better serve their customers.
Mike Maxwell, president of Procacci Bros. Sales Corp., said Philadelphia remains strong.
"The city is doing well," he said. "The whole atmosphere of the city is upbeat. If you visit a city where lots of things are happening, there's a euphoria that attracts people."
Doug Ohlemeier |
Rick Milavsky, vice president of BRS Produce Co., in front of his produce display on the Philadelphia Regional Produce Market. |
Though Richard Nardella, chief executive and financial officer of Nardella Inc., admits he hast been affected by the economic slowdown, he said business has remained strong.
"Because of the economy, most of our customers have had a little downswing," Nardella said. "Restaurants are feeling it the worst. Retailers are slightly down, but for the most part their business is staying steady. Business is good. Everyone is hoping the economy will bounce back, and I am excited about the future."
Rick Milavsky, vice president of BRS Produce Co., also characterizes sales as consistent despite the downturn in the economy,
"Everyone has been struggling," he said. "You hear it from all of your customers. All the customers, the little people and the big ones, you see them paying a little slower. They all say they're just paying their bills but are happy to be working. If you want to work, you just hang in there. Eventually, it will level out."
Sales have been positive for distributors outside of the metropolitan area of Philadelphia, such as Four Seasons Produce Inc., Ephrata.
"From what I can tell and the communication we get from customers, it's a better year this year on the East Coast," said Ron Carkoski, president and chief executive officer. "For the most part, they are seeing things stronger, better and there's kind of a resurrection coming back to the business. It's not back to what they would consider strong, but it has what I would call a fragile strength — a strength that wasn't there at the end of last year."
Carkoski said demand appears to be stronger and that he can see customers getting back into ordering.
He said Four Seasons' customers seem to possess a more positive attitude on spending.
Four Seasons focuses on distributing produce to retailers and wholesalers.

It was on a Sunday afternoon about five years ago. I had just gotten back to the city after visiting my girlfriend at the time and a bunch of my buddies were getting together to play an impromptu game of softball. It was the type of game where you don't really keep score and everyone gets an at bat each inning. We were goofing around, diving at balls we normally would've easily caught and trying for behind the back catches.
In the fourth or fifth inning it was my turn to pitch and so I took the mound and even moved a couple steps in front of the rubber to toss some meatballs to the opposing team. The third or fourth batter I faced rocketed one right back at me that hit me square in the face, broke my nose and knocked me down. Blood poured out everywhere. I was on the ground kicking my legs until I came through. When I did, I asked those assembled around me if I still had my teeth. One of my friends looked through the hole in my face above my lip to find that I miraculously kept all of my top teeth but had lost a couple on the bottom.
I walked to the emergency room at Toronto Western and required 28 stitches to put my face together. I was so in shock that I didn't even feel any pain until about five hours later when I was getting my prescription filled. I had to leave the Shopper's Drug Mart to go vomit on the street. Other than the Oxycontin highs, it was not a very pleasant experience.
From a press release sent out today by sporting good manufacturers Easton-Bell:
Though serious injuries are rare, baseball pitchers without head protection face a level of risk that can be addressed through the development of a well-designed baseball pitching helmet. Easton-Bell Sports is leading research and development for a new era of baseball head protection, designed to provide baseball pitchers with the protection they desire without compromising comfort or performance.
While Easton-Bell's pitching helmet likely wouldn't have saved from a temporary Frankenstein face, it could be a life saver when you compare the damage that a baseball can do when goofing around to what could happen with Major League pitches coming off of Major League bats should make the validity of this innovation a no brainer, which humourously enough is exactly what you'd be if you were struck hard enough in the head with a baseball without protection.
It may seem strange to see pitchers wearing this at first, but I'm sure it was strange to see batters using helmets too when they were first introduced.
Unfortunately, Major League Baseball isn't exactly known for being quick to act on innovations, and so it'll most likely be a little while before we start seeing our favourite players take the mound with the best protection available. Progress will also be blocked by the tough guy machismo factor that we saw most recently in the late nineties when hockey players held out on wearing helmets. My only hope is that it doesn't take a serious injury or death to push MLB into action like it did for first and third base coaches wearing helmets.
For more information on the new helmets, Easton-Bell CEO Paul Harrington spoke with Jeff Blair on the FAN 590 earlier today.

Payment-by-results has the potential to be hugely positive for the voluntary sector, but there are caveats, writes Rhodri Davies, Policy Manager at the Charities Aid Foundation.
Today has seen another upsurge of interest in payment-by-results (PbR) as the announcement of a Ministry of Justice consultation on "transforming rehabilitation" made headlines across the media. This just confirmed what many people already suspected: the Coalition government is very keen on opening up public services to providers from the private and voluntary sectors on a PbR basis, and wants to drive this agenda through as quickly as possible.
The Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) believes that PbR has the potential to be hugely positive for the voluntary sector. However, we are concerned that despite the rhetoric about a desire to involve voluntary sector providers, the way PbR is being implemented makes it too difficult for charities and social enterprises to bid for contracts. The danger is that the benefit of their expertise and innovation will be lost because contracts end up going only to the private sector service delivery giants like Serco, Capita and A4e.
CAF published a report at the end of last year (Funding Good Outcomes) highlighting our concerns about the challenges the implementation of PbR is throwing up for charities and the investors who want to back them to deliver services.
One of our key points is that those commissioning PbR services should think in terms of risk sharing rather than risk transfer. Of course commissioners want to minimise their own risks, and if there are socially-motivated investors happy to help them do this, so much the better. But only up to a point. We do not believe that it is right for PbR to be used as a way of effectively outsourcing the entire risk of funding public services. We recommend that PbR contracts should be structured so that a proportion of payments are made up front to cover core costs and a proportion are made only when (or if) agreed outcomes are delivered. This would represent a much fairer balance of risk between the commissioner and the service provider, and also reduce the level of risk that social investors are being asked to take.
We also believe it is vital that voluntary organisations get the support they need to be able to bid for and deliver contracts. If the Government really wants to see charities and social enterprises playing a key role in the PbR revolution in areas such as rehabilitation, it cannot simply trust to the market to make this happen. Many voluntary organisations have the potential to bring value to service delivery, but do not have the skills and resources to go from providing innovative, small scale interventions to being credible providers of services at a larger scale. They will require help to bridge this gap.
It is encouraging that the government obviously recognises this challenge, and has announced additional funding to help voluntary organisations prepare for PbR in rehabilitation services. However the £500,000 set aside for this purpose seems inadequate. Given the scale of the transformation, it is likely that there will be a large number of charities interested in getting involved in delivering rehabilitation services, so the demand on this fund will very quickly outstrip the money available. There are other pots of money available, such as the Cabinet Office's Investment and Contract Readiness fund, but more needs to be done to match up this supply with the demand created by the growth of the PbR agenda.

Cheers outweigh protest at Hong Kong's Olympic torch relay
Proud citizens welcomed the flame back to China Friday, but critics say the autonomous city deferred to Beijing by barring some activists.
After a global tour dogged by controversy, the 2008 Olympics torch was paraded in Hong Kong Friday in its first tour since returning to China, drawing elated crowds that vastly outnumbered a smattering of political demonstrators.
The smooth run through Hong Kong, an autonomous city that has long offered space for social and political dissent, closes a bumpy chapter in Beijing's pre-Olympics global charm offensive. The torch's remaining legs in China are unlikely to become lightning rods for anti-China activism, particularly over Tibet, as they had in London, Paris, and San Francisco.
In its wake, though, some here question whether local authorities overstepped the mark by refusing entry to several foreign activists who planned to protest during the relay.
Since its handover from British to Chinese rule in 1997, Hong Kong has trod a delicate balance between upholding its freedoms, including robust political debate, and keeping on the right side of Beijing.
In recent weeks, as pressure mounted to ensure a trouble-free torch run, other signals have emerged of a possible claw-back in Hong Kong's freedoms. An august law journal abruptly shelved an article on Tibet in its May issue by Paul Harris, a constitutional lawyer. Its author describes the move as self-censorship that reveals a narrowing of debate over issues deemed sensitive by Beijing. He also criticizes authorities for deporting pro-Tibetan activists who have no criminal record.
"There's an increasing atmosphere that people who are law-abiding and are planning to take part in lawful demonstrations that Beijing doesn't like may be refused entry," he says.

I am having a prep sink on my island. I really dont know what sink to buy! The cabinet is 24" wide. I already bought my main sink - a Blanco wave undermount stainless steel sink. I was going to just get another Blanco (single bowl) sink that was smaller. But then I was looking at mrdirectint.com and the prices on that website are much less! They have sinks that look similar to the Blanco sink I was going to buy for a prep sink. Should I stick with Blanco so that the finishes match? Will it really even be noticeable? Should my main sink and prep sink have a similar shape? DH wants a small prep sink. but i've seen people post here that they got the largest one they could fit. I'm not sure what to do. I've never had a prep sink before. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would be careful about other brands of stainless sinks. I have heard that some that have been imported from China have rusted. Blanco is one of the best stainless sink manufacturers in the world, in my opinion. I would stick with them. As for size... I have never heard anyone complain about a sink that was too large! |
Typically bar prep sinks are 15-18" W All stainless steel will match, make sure you are getting at least 18 guauge thickness and you should be good to go. |
Your title say size, but you seem to be more concerned about price. Besides the price or matching finish, the quality of the stainless, the overall quality of the manufacture, the gauge or thickness of the metal, the use or lack of an undercoating to reduce noise, delivery and availability, return policy if the sink isn't what was expected, whether the manufacturer and the dealer will be around to deal with any issues should they arise and more should factor into your decision make sure you are factoring all these things into your decision. The sink will be used daily, probably many times daily, and for a long time. Depending on how it is mounted, replacing it could be a real pain -- and is likely to cost more than the savings you are looking at just to pull it out, disconnect and reconnect the plumbing. There are plenty of reasons not to skimp. Personally, I would not go smaller than 15x15 (close to what I have --and a Blanco, BTW) or 16 x16 for a prep sink, and if you have room for 18 inches or more, that can be a good thing. I would also try to have an 8 or 9 inch depth to reduce splashing in a smaller bowl and to be able to fit colanders,e tc. I was trying to balance the need for work space on my island and am very happy I didn't go smaller . I might have been able to go slightly larger, but I have a 21" depth cabinet and I think we balanced everything we were working with pretty well. |
Mine is 12 x 14 (elkay). It fits a large collander, which is what I wanted min. We started out with a 24" cab planned, but ended up shrinking it to 20" when we decided on that sink, and that gave me 4" more on a drawer stack in the island. I wanted to maximize counter space. I'm happy with the size. |
