I am a Woman
Gender clichés still strong in Georgia where democratic transformation and economic growth merges with deep-rooted social traditions. The recent UNDP research shows that gender perceptions, which have not changed much over years, place men in a dominant position in many areas of social, economic and political life.
88 percent of Georgians think that men are supposed to be breadwinners of their families. Only 37 percent of men think that women and men should make decisions together. 45 percent prefers to have a boy as the only child and gives boys privileges in education and property rights. 57 percent agrees that men have a greater chance to get a high ranking position.
Women in different regions of Georgia work to make a difference in their communities. They inspire change and often achieve success in male dominated industries.
For Public Good
Poor transport connection was a persisting problem of the village Udabno, east Georgia. 180 families were cut off from the main road and nearest regional centre with no regular transport to cover a 45 km gap. The isolation grew deeper over years until a group of active women took the matter in their own hands.
Phikria Margiani, 32, is a local choir conductor. She works with children and their parents and knows everyone in the village. After attending the UNDP training in civic engagement organized, Phikria decided that her experience and communications skills could help improve daily life of her community. Phikria and an initiative group of eight women took a lead in negotiating with the local municipality. After several months of hard work they convinced the authorities to allocate small budget for a regular mini bus to the nearest city.
"We can go to the city, do business, visit relatives. It is a great relief! I am proud of what we have achieved. It only required confidence and determination," Phikria says.
With this first success, the women's group plans to do more for their home village. They are applying for a micro grant to build a sport square and mini stadium for youth.
Micro grants for small community initiatives are part of the UNDP's gender programme in Georgia. With UNDP support, women groups in different regions of the country learn how to become active citizens, take part in decision-making, manage projects and promote a real change.
Women Farmers Take Over
Irina Pkhovelishvili chairs a first association of women farmers in Kakheti, a region in east Georgia. Women, who want to succeed within the traditional men's club of Georgian agriculture, come here for consultation, training, business partnership, legal advice, and information on credit resources and insurance.
Established in 2013 with initial assistance from UNDP, the Association has grown up to 130 members in a year. It continues expanding all over the region.
"Women can bring real change if they set their mind on it. Agriculture was degrading in Georgia back in the 1990s and it was women who kept things going. I am convinced that strong agriculture and strong farmers are the future of Georgia and want to be part of this success," Irina Pkhovelishvili says.
Irina herself is an agriculture professional and experienced farmer. Her farming business –land, live-stock and fisheries, employs up to 30 people by season. Irina has also spent nearly 10 years in local governance mainly leading agrarian issues. Her enthusiasm, motivation and networking skills inspire women to take matters into their hands and support their families out of poverty.
A Window to Equality
Irma Daushvili received the Gender Equality Award this year as the best woman entrepreneur. She runs a successful doors and windows treatment company which employees about 100 people.
After almost 20 years in business, Irma is convinced that gender equality at work place makes a team much stronger.
"Men and women are equally present in management and other operation. That's our strengths. We make all decisions together and complement each other," Irma Daushvili says.
Clean Start
Willpower and hard work is the success formula for Tika Vetriakova, 29, an entrepreneur from Georgia. Tika runs a cleaning company in Batumi, a port city on Georgia's Black Sea coast. This rapidly growing enterprise ensures tidiness of hotels, restaurants and government offices in the city.
"When I first came in business nobody believed that I could succeed with no experience and limited resources. I did not have enough people and had to knock on every door to get a contract," Tika says.
Struggling through a challenging start-up, Tika discovered that she could receive professional help in the Batumi Business Incubator. Established in 2009 by UNDP and the governments of Romania, Finland and the Ajara Autonomous Republic, the Incubator provides young businesses with affordable office spaces and assistance in business operations. Clean World – Ajara was among the first companies to enroll.
"The Incubator eased the burden of everyday problems and I could focus on my venture. I have attended training and consultations to learn about finance, marketing and human resources."
Tika's company has grown from five to 190 employees in five years. Now it is one of the most successful small businesses in the region. Blue uniforms of Tika's cleaners can be spotted at almost all social and public events in Batumi.
"I chased an opportunity and did everything in my power to succeed. Hard work paid off. Now I have new goals to pursue. Clean World Ajara is just a beginning."
I Can Fly
Irma Khetsuriani, 29, is the first Georgian wheelchair woman fencer. Last year she made it to the top five at the World Cup in Germany and now is getting ready for the championship in Canada this summer.
Irma became an athlete when she already was disabled after a spinal disease, difficult treatment and operation. She had to quit university and dramatically change her lifestyle. Fencing has become a way out, a window to the new life.
"I was surprised, even shocked when the Paralympic Committee of Georgia suggested I could do wheelchair fencing. But then I realized how exciting that was. I am the only girl in our team together with five boys. Fencing is for smart and passionate people. I only started eight months ago but I am already sold," Irma says.
Georgia still has a long way to go to ensure that people with disabilities have equal opportunities and adequate living conditions. The research by the Public Defender of Georgia and UNDP reveals the urgent need for changes in the legislation as well as in educational, healthcare, municipal and other practices. It also stresses that women with disabilities are particularly vulnerable to discrimination.
"Of course our rights are not protected. We feel it every day, every minute," Irma says.
She thinks that more information, open discussion, better laws and policies would help people with and without disability to see each other and understand that they are equal.
"Wheelchair makes you neither victim, nor hero. I can be strong, I can do good things. I can smile, dance. I can fly."

Recent debates around the whole "local driver" issue involving a local taxi firm are illustrated beautifully by two buildings on Hull's Holderness Road. They are connected by real proximity, but separated by the passage of 70 years. Yards from 35 taxi's bustling taxi office stands the Boyes store, built on the site of what was the Savoy Cinema.
In the media, we hear a lot about the 0.3% - those candidates for Ukip who've said or done stupid things, things which neither Ukip nor anyone else in the country would. They've had the oxygen of publicity for far too long. I want to talk about the 99.7%, about what we believe.
From Stockton South, to Rochester and Strood, voters across the political spectrum are united in the belief that it's wrong for the NHS to be part of an American trade deal. It's time for the Prime Minister to listen. Britain won't be fooled by vague assurances over the NHS. The only way to ensure our NHS is protected from this trade deal is to remove it from these talks entirely. It's time for the Prime Minister to show some backbone. Cameron must use his veto and exempt the NHS from this deal.
'Tis the season of Nativity scenes. But here's a question to consider: would Joseph and Mary even have been able to reach Bethlehem if they were making that same journey today? hatever your view of Jesus or Muhammad, if you are a Palestinian resident of the West Bank you are a victim of the longest military occupation in the world.
If Europe wishes to find a solution for the problems of the Middle East, it needs to correct a number of misconceptions about Syria. Most importantly, it needs to realise that the key threat is not ISIS but the Assad regime, both of which are engaged with a fight to the death with Europe's only possible ally: the rebels.
It seems that week after week, we're hit with another story of Nigel Farage or one of his UKIP counterparts spouting racist, sexist and homophobic comments left right and centre. It's become worryingly predictable, and it seems that although there is a candidate step down here and there, a half-hearted apology and a tepid reassurance that this is 'not representative of UKIP', they continue to receive support.
Helping genuine refugees with support into a new independent life, where they can work, learn English and to be part of this country. Letting inaccurate stereotypes fuel the debate will harm our country in the long run.
Euroscepticism used to be a very English phenomenon. But, as this year's European elections demonstrated, it now has much wider credentials... Few EU member states have been left untouched by public protest over Europe, either on the streets or at the ballot box.
Last week saw the publication of the annual Ofsted report which looked at the outcomes of schools' inspections in 2013-14. The report's headline-grabber was that progress in secondary schools in the UK 'has stalled', with 29% of state secondary schools now rated as less than good.
Being at a loss for words is never ideal for a journalist, yet the mind-numbing massacre of 132 schoolchildren in Peshawar has left me struggling... The 132 children of the Army Public School in Peshawar who died in last Tuesday's attack were its latest victims. They will not be the last.
The announcement that the US and Cuba are to begin the process of normalising relations after decades of a US-imposed economic blockade and policy of undermining the Cuban Revolution is long overdue.
Today, our legal system is one step closer to being able to hold domestic violence perpetrators accountable for their crimes. It is one step closer to being able to accurately depict the true nature of domestic violence within the courtroom and further protect victims of domestic violence and their children.
The status quo is not sacrosanct. The rules by which we are governed are not set in stone. If you feel your representatives don't, in fact, represent you, you have the means to change the system that keeps them in business.
One of the biggest problems Ukip have at the moment is that, despite the best efforts of the often charming and eloquent man-of-the-people, pint swilling, cigarette puffing, Nigel Farage; the image many other Ukip party members project is of homophobic, unintelligent, misogynistic, sexist, and borderline racist little Englanders.
If we want the kind of economy and country where all are empowered to make the most of their careers and lives, and where the needs of the many are prioritised over those of the few, we need to understand the real story behind the coalition 'recovery'.
Moving back to London this year and covering stories in this part of the world has reminded of one important historic reality: Western Europe is a political, social and economic miracle. Think about it: A mere seven decades after one of the most deadly and genocidal wars in human history, the mere idea of conflict in this region is unthinkable.

It was a wonderful visit
it was a great experience
A world-class architectural home on the Chesapeake
We stayed here for several nights over New Years' weekend. It's an amazing place.
It's really quiet, tremendously private, and quite secluded. The wide-open views of the Chesapeake are really impressive. Each morning when we woke up, the home's huge windows revealed dramatic sunrises across the water and flocks of geese migrating overhead. The public spaces are huge, and we enjoyed relaxing in the home's great room. We're fans of modern architecture, and this home did not disappoint. It's quite unique.
This home is an amazing Chesapeake Bay retreat. We'd absolutely recommend it to anyone.

MARK HUGHES COBB: Popular not necessarily the best
Published: Friday, September 19, 2003 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, September 18, 2003 at 11:00 p.m.
Even if 90 percent of what Stephen King writes is cheeseburger ' and more recently, as he coughs up tripe such as "Dreamcatcher" and "From a Buick 8," he's a lot closer to dog food ' that doesn't deny his 10 percent literary merit.
Even his worst critics don't deny he can spin a yarn, and the fairest will tell you "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption," "Misery" and parts of the "Dark Tower" series could stand on any shelf.
But whether that selection, over 30 years of output, calls for a prestigious literary award is another question. Some days I enjoy a cheeseburger. I just don't write odes to it.
The group that presents the National Book Awards will give its 2003 medal for distinguished contribution to American letters to King. Anticipating the criticism, the National Book Foundation noted King's "storytelling skill, his promotion of less-established writers, his donations to libraries and schools and the sheer volume of his work, which has found a multitude of readers."
Although intended strictly as a literary honor, the NBF also considered King's work in tele-vision and the movies.
If the NBF board members had slogged through both the book and the film adaptations of "Dreamcatchers," they might have re-thought that statement. Talk about sheer volume: They made me want to scream.
The NBF seems to have fallen prey to the high-school mentality pervading the arts, as pop culture slowly eats away at its foundations. Here's the nutshell: Popular is the best. Popular must be the best. Or why else would it be popular?
Possibly the silliest proponent of this is the People's Choice Awards. "The people" have made their choices, reflected in ticket and CD sales, in ratings and ad revenues.
So why give an award? Because some of "the people" apparently feel the general run of awards are snooty, lauding shows or songs they maybe haven't heard of, or didn't like on first glance or listen.
But that's what awards are for: merit, not popularity. And the two can't be confused, although they can intersect (see the "Lord of the Rings" movies).
This "popularity rules" mentality could bloom from American ideals, where all men are created equal, where majority rules (while the minorities, theoretically, are protected).
But that brings to mind my friends Ray and Michael, busking their (highly award-/sworthy) songs on a Parisian courtyard when they noticed a large crowd clustering at the other end. Curious, they packed up and went to check out the competition. Connoisseurs of fine art were paying money to throw darts into a fat man's belly. And if I'd been there, I probably would have done the same. After all, I could hear Ray and Michael play any time.
But does that make the dart-belly guy an award-worthy artist? As a surrealist, perhaps.
Without standards, there's no edge to the envelope, and the whole thing folds. I may read Stephen King more than John Updike or Phillip Roth (previous NBF honorees), but that's partly because King is easy and engaging and I'm lazy at the end of a day.
We need the Chuck Yeagers as much as we need the airline pilots. Commercial pilots get us there, smooth, safe and sound (most of the time). But without the test pilots, we will never know how high we can fly.
So does King have the right stuff? The NBF thinks so, but the NBF is attracting passengers, not shooting for the stars.

Clean room and common areas. Polite staff
Hot tub was closed for maintenance
Very spacious and clean rooms. Was quiet when we stayed. Free Wi-fi with simple sign-in. Smooth experience.
Friendly staff, clean environment, good location
A dog barking next dog every morning around 5:00 AM
Good location & hours of operation
Room location & so so continental breakfast
Great service and facilities at an excellent price.
The hotel is wonderful! The rooms are great, very nice bedding and quiet. The restaurant is the best....a delightful dining experience! The staff is also very helpful and professional. The hotel deserves all of its 4 stars.
The only thing (and a small thing), the cleaning staff did not do a great job cleaning the bathroom and did not leave new shampoo and conditioner
The manager corrected a problem immediately, wrote me a lovely card and included water bottles and chocolates with his card. He was very nice. The free breakfast is great with variety.
The ceiling paint in the bathroom over the shower was peeling, everything else was fine.
Not up to the usual standards for Hampton Inn.
The king size bed was very comfortable
Very nice hotel, pool was clean, staff was awesome
It was a little bit noisy at night-time. We had 4 small children. We had to call the front desk to ask them to address the issue.
very quant & comfortable. Jeri was an awesome hostess & the breakfast was beyond great. the cookies that she left in our room were also delicious.
there was nothing that we didn't like. the place was awesome.
It was located away from the noise of the town.
good location good breakfast
maybe it was the specific room(at the top of the main stairs) but very loud party noise until late into the night both nights we stayed . No mini fridge,microwave,or dvd player in room.
Seemed expensive for the area
close to expressway, breakfast buffet
TV worked poorly, poorly lit screen
I liked the lobby decor. It is as it appears online. The room was standard but spacious very clean from the linen to the towels.
The heating unit was noisy. No extra blanket and didn't know I needed one until I was half asleep and the room temperature changed. Group of kids staying in the same hall who had a couple of outburst and running in the hall.I had asked for a date change t
Easy access to ny thru way.
I wouldn't stay here aging if you paid me. It was dirty noisy and cold, just a few more miles into Canandaigua you can stay for less money and alot better accommodations.
Great value (compared to others hotels nearby) Comfortable bed Clean bathroom Decent breakfast
Outdated, but expected for the price
beds were very uncomfortable. no place to eat breakfast. fan in bathroom was very noisey. couldn't use bathroom without turning that fan on.
Close to the arena :
The breakfast was not at all adequate and we had to go out for breakfast.
Free wifi; Convenient parking; Microwave and fridge; Overall room design; Cleanliness. Good value/price ratio.
A light bulb was nonfunctional; Air conditioner is a bit old and air was not the most fresh after a night's stay; Refrigerator occasionally turns its noisy engine on during mid night;
The location was great.
Not alot of choices for breakfast. The hotel was not as clean as I would like it. The sheets were clean but the place was dingy and I didn't want to put my bare feet on the carpet.
The room service from Erie Grill was delicious! The hotel is also right next to the Erie Canal which makes a nice walk on a nice day.
Room was not what I would consider resort quality. I got both a massage and facial and was not impressed. Overall I feel the hotel was NOT worth the cost. Shower low quality, customer service didnt answer phone calls
The rooms are very nice and comfortable. The food was creative and the staff very attentive.
Could not get a Spa reservation during my entire stay (two and days). Disappointing since it was a weekend, apparently to cater to outside cliente for the Spa more than guests.
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us Please send us an email and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

A count of homeless people in Aiken County will take place this month, coordinated by Lisa Tindal, executive director of Mental Health America of Aiken County. The data will be provided to the federal Housing and Urban Development agency.
The project will take place Jan. 24 – an effort that is done every two years, Tindal said.
It is done specifically to get numbers, not people's names, and can assist agencies in the community in obtaining eligible federal funds.
"One night is set aside for each city, county and state to get an accurate picture of the homeless," Tindal said. "It's done through collaboration with other agencies."
The process provides two kinds of information.
A "sheltered count" refers to a total of people who are in Aiken County shelters – such as the Cumbee Center to Assist Abused Persons, Nurture Home, My Father's House, My Salem Ministries and the Salvation Army.
The agencies are asked to provide a form for each person housed in their shelter. Tindal said demographic information is sough, including single members with children, men and veterans.
An "unsheltered count" will be done over Jan. 24-31.
The homeless people accounted for in that process are those served through a number of agencies for a range of needs.
Those facilities include Area Churches Together Serving, Community Ministries of North Augusta, Aiken-Barnwell Community Action, Christ Central, Aiken Housing Authority, Aiken County 211, Megiddo Dream Station, Our Lady of the Valley Ministries, the Department of Social Services, Goodwill and the Community Medical Clinic.
Each agency will be asked to determined that an individual is homeless. If so, the agency can complete a one-page form for that person.
Tindal was asked to coordinate the count process. She is a member of the Midlands Area Consortium for the Homeless Board.
Federal fund applications can be challenging, Tindal said. The collection of accurate data will serve as an effective tool when seeking funding.
"It is also important for those of us who serve the homeless to be able to inform our local government officials and community leaders of the needs in Aiken," Tindal said in a letter to the other agencies.

I acquired a new 1911 this weekend through a trade with our very own NGIB. It is a Springfield Legend Series TGO II. I put about 150 rounds through it this weekend with no problems and it was very accurate. I had never heard of this model before, but did some research on the 1911forum.com. They discontinued this model some years back, and my TGO II is # 209. I have no idea how many of these they made. Springfield made 3 models in this series: TGO I was a full Custom Shop gun, TGO II was a highly enhanced production model, and the TGO III was a Loaded model with a lightweight frame. The TGO II is equivalent to a target setup on a TRP model of today according to posters over on the 1911forum. This model has BoMar Low mount adjustable sight with a Dawson fiber optic front sight. It came with two pairs of slim grips: one set of Thin Lined Cocobolo Smooth Wood, and the other is Black Macarta Double Diamond Grips. Another feature that I really like is the Robar Industries Bi-Tone coatings on the gun. The slide has Roguard Proprietary Black Finish, and the frame has NP-3 Proprietary Nickel/Teflon Finish. They are both very slick and tough. This Robar stuff is awsome! I am impressed with the frame to slide fit and how tight it is. There is no play at all when they are put together, but the slide glides very smoothly on the frame. The barrel locks up nice and tight. The barrel lugs are so sharp it almost feels like they could cut you. Some things I don't like are the 2 piece FLGR. You need an Allen wrench to unscrew the 2 piece FLGR to be able to field strip the gun. I might order a GI style guide rod for it, because I already have a SS recoil spring plug. Another thing I'm not crazy about is the 20 LPI front strap checkering. It is rough, but caused no hand issues when I shot the gun. The last thing is the trigger, it is heavy so I will have some work done to it. Overall, I am very pleased with this gun and look forward to shooting it more. Post-It Note @ 21 feet

Drake equation
Syllabification: Drake e·qua·tion Astronomy
Definition of Drake equation in English:
A speculative equation that gives an estimate of the likelihood of discovering intelligent extraterrestrial life in the galaxy, expressed as the product of a series of factors such as the number of stars, the fraction of stars with planets, the fraction of planets on which life evolves, the average lifetime of a civilization, etc. It was formulated by the US astronomer Frank Drake in 1961.
Example sentences

Apps: Chrome 25, Google Maps 1.1, iBooks 3.1, Into the Dead + Wheel of Fortune
The newest update for Google's Chrome (free), the memorably-named version 25.0.1364.86, features improved search and sharing. In a feature rolling out in the coming weeks, a search term can be seen in the omnibox, instead of the long search URL. Holding the back button can now quickly access any page in your tab history, and any web page can now be shared via Messages. Bug fixes and stability and security improvements are included in the update, as well.
Also from Google, a version 1.1 update for the iPhone and iPod touch app Google Maps (free) brings a search for Google Contacts; signing in lets users access saved address for friends and family by name. Version 1.1 also introduces a quicker local search by category, and the ability to choose between miles and kilometers for distance units. Some features may not be available in all countries, and there is still no iPad-specific version of the app.
Apple's iBooks (free) also received an update today, as version 3.1 brings hundreds of thousands of Japanese books to Japan's iBookstore, including fiction, light novels, and manga. The updated version of iBooks also includes "a number of improvements for reading Asian language books."
PikPok's Into the Dead (free) is a first-person endless runner game, with zombies. The game features multiple modes, including classic and new massacre mode, with a "hardcore mode" coming soon. Multiple weapons help players stay alive, as do perks and power ups to start your run. The game's most recent version 1.2 added zombie theme packs, including footballer and WWII zombies.
New version 1.1 of Wheel of Fortune ($3) from Sony Pictures Television adds a turn-based multiplayer mode. The mode, called Spin Together, lets you challenge competitors across social networks to a game of Wheel of Fortune. This update also allows players to unlock new multiplayer achievements, and dress their avatars in new Wheel of Fortune-themed clothes. Load time has been improved, as well as "improved frequency" of landing on bankrupt or lose a turn.

It is natural to apply multiple-length-scale methods to the study of optical-fiber transmission because the key length scales span 13 orders of magnitude and cluster in three main groups. At the lowest scale, corresponding to micrometers, the full set of Maxwell's equations should be used. At the intermediate scale, corresponding to the range from one centimeter to tens of meters, the coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equation should be used. Finally, at the longest length scale, corresponding to the range from tens to thousands of kilometers, the Manakov-PMD equation should be used, and, when polarization mode dispersion can be neglected and the fiber gain and loss can be averaged out, one arrives at the scalar nonlinear Schrödinger equation. As an illustrative example of multiple-scale-length techniques, the nonlinear Schrödinger equation will be derived, carefully taking into account the actual length scales that are important in optical-fiber transmission.

Capuano warns Obama must 'respect' vote on Syria
- Sections:
- Local Coverage
If President Obama ignores the vote of Congress over Syria, U.S. Rep. Michael E. Capuano said on Boston Herald Radio today he'd consider suing him stressing "he has to listen to what Congress says."
Capuano said he's not sure if a vote will be taken by Sept. 9 on how to respond to the use of chemical weapons in the civil war in Syria, but it will happen soon.
"Congress is the only appropriate place to declare war," he said during today's "Morning Meeting" show on Herald radio. "He has to listen to what Congress says ... he has to respect the decision."
Capuano joined 10 others in a lawsuit in 2011 over the administration's air attacks against Libya and for not seeking congressional approval first.
Today Capuano would not rule out another lawsuit if the president were to launch an attack against Syria, if Congress votes down any action, saying if he felt it were "appropriate," he would.
"When you are the biggest, baddest guy on the block you have to use it in an appropriate way," Capuano said. "A short-term military strike will have long-term implications."
Secretary of State John F. Kerry and other administration officials are slated to testify in multiple hearings today on Capitol Hill, where members of Congress were briefed yesterday and will be again today.
Obama's decision to seek a congressional green light before military action has drawn support and criticism on both sides of the aisle, with some — like Arizona U.S. Sen. John McCain — pushing for actions that go beyond the president's plan of a limited strike.
Like McCain, Bay State U.S. Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Edward J. Markey — both ordinarily staunch supporters of the president — said they needed more details, and declined to publicly back or denounce a strike.

...if I was a registered financial advisor and I am not, I would advise my VU1 clients to sell on this recent pump. Bill said he wanted to keep the burn rate as low as possible. That's no way to start over on a product launch. Also, what concerned me most was the bulb assembly taking place in two different locations, a couple hundred miles from each other. If it was in the USA I'd say maybe but in China that's nuts. Also debt piling up, and back on the, " looking for investors trail" which hasn't worked before so why now? Limited production capabilities and looking to ramp it up next year 2014 Q1 or Q2 yawn. Very dismal. I'm not a big fan of Bill but I left the CC feeling sorry for him...a lack of enthusiasm, and it appeared that he spent all of a few minutes preparing his outline for the CC. Once again, it sounds like they have several electrical distributors (ED's as he referred to them) interested but nothing to deliver that would make this a revenue generator instead of a novelty.
I listened and while there could have been some more specifics, there were several interesting pieces of information given that I found encouraging, such as: 1) Production is currently in the thousands per month, but will increase (and I got the sense it wouldn't take too long) into the tens of thousands per month. Obviously we'd all like to see it in millions per month, but I'd rather have them ramp up with organic growth and watching production quality early on, than get ahead of the demand or have quality issues. 2) They're putting the R40 ahead of the A19 - still going to do both, but seem to think they can produce an R40 sooner and some distributors want more than one SKU to sell. The positive part is that they're listening to the market and proceeding to fairly quickly bring on a second product. 3) The team is back in the US. They must be confident manufacturing will go smoothly. 4) They're setting up a permanent R&D facility in the bay area. A dying company doesn't do that. 5) Samples are going out to about 200 distributors, with a hope/expectation that will trigger purchase orders. With low initial production rates and Lowes taking some stock, it shouldn't take many POs to sell all they can make, which is much better than the prospect of a high inventory and slow sell-through. 6) Bill said that while they need to raise some capital, they're aiming to do it while minimizing the dilutive effect on current shareholders, particularly at the current share price level. As an existing shareholder, I prefer that approach, so that the value being created per share I own is maximized, and the market isn't flooded with shares. 7) He acknowledged that there debts in default, but noted that this has been the case for a while, that the company has been in frequent contact with those debt holders, is paying interest and penalties and is working to pay them off. From the tone, it seems that there is not an imminent threat and they're being reasonable.
Mr. Smith at it again. I was going to ask a few questions on the call but didn't want to make him look foolish. So, they will start production in the thousands of bulbs a month. Sad thing is they need to be making thousands of bulbs a day (not per month) to support any decent size purchase orders let alone cover fixed production and overhead costs. I bet they are running at less than a 100 bulbs a day. If VUOC were to produce and sell 10K bulbs a month. 10K x 20 = $200K and this is before any costs... Payroll, rents, production, engineering, overhead/utilities, shipping/logistics, taxes, etc.. No way VUOC can become cash flow neutral/positive unless they sell at least 25-30K bulbs a month and considering today's valuation VUOC's best option will likely be a take under (somewhere near 10-20 cents per share) by someone willing to invest some serious capital into the technology, production, supply-chain, etc. Good luck to all longs however you would be wise to cash out on any uptick, IMHO.
ESL, I disagree on every one of your points. Given past results it's just fantasy but cudos for the fast typing. I think this tech started at the U of C Davis. Let the students figure out the quality assurance issues of this thing. Let 'em loose and we'll see some good old fashioned American know how and possibly a viable revenue producer. Keep it in the US and work the bugs out.
Just one more thought to add as an observation but Bill also mentioned the sale of the newly produced (what 2 years now) bulbs would generate revenue but would not help with cash flow. Back to square one: Where can VU1 find some dupes to ante up to extend this charade? It's becoming harder and harder.
He may have meant free cash flow. There's no surprise that they have bills to pay first with any funds that come in.

Top 10 desktop replacement laptops
With fast processors, gobs of RAM, 3D graphics, and large screens (16 inches or higher), these powerhouses make ideal replacements for desktop PCs
It's a stretch to call any computer weighing 10 or 12 pounds a "laptop," but these bulky beasts do combine portability and high performance -- if not quite the power and speed of a top-end desktop machine. Battery life (short) and price (high) can also be an issue. But if you want a system that goes places, and you don't want to feel underpowered when you get there, these desktop replacement powerhouses fit the bill. A rich diversity of features, and a wide range of prices (from $1,200 to $4,000 and more), offer plenty of options.

'Bartlett takes office as the youngest Secretary of Highways Pennsylvania has ever had, he hopes to build roads on the groundwork laid by Secretary Henry D. Harral. Mr. Bart,lett, who takes over the top job in the State Highway Department next month, told newsmen in the District 2 Office at Clearfield yesterday that the department has a long way to go to build all of the major highways, connector routes and access roads which it needs. He said this would mean moving forward in a series of steps, the first of which was the establishment during the present administration of the six-year planning program. He called for new and better road designs, upgrading of the recruitment program for engineers, and betterment of overall professional standards' to show each department employe that he is a valuable part of the team. ' This does not entail any major changes from the Harral administration, heexplained, but rather an extension of policies now in force.

Wedding: 3/16/2013
My husband and I got married this past March at the Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center and we were so impressed by Kristin and her team at Capers.
We had researched tons of caterers extensively before choosing Capers. We attended 6 tastings in total from different companies and Capers was definitely a step up from the rest, in terms of both quality of food and value. It was also the company that we felt understood us the most. After deciding on Capers, we found that Kristin was very responsive to our requests and suggestions, and really did everything she could to execute our vision, including helping us set up our own dessert table and transforming a bare arts center into a grand ballroom complete with gold chivari chairs and candles throughout.
We received tons of compliments on the food, which was definitely one of the most important things to me! The passed hors d'oeuvres were so unique and special - mini lobster rolls, grilled cheese batons with tomato soup shooters, their list is endless!
If you work with Capers, know that you're working with an experienced team that produces high calibre food, provides exceptional service, and helps to make your wedding vision come true!
Wedding: 9/6/2013
We used Capers Catering for our wedding, and we have nothing but good things to say about them. When we did our tasting, the chef was very accommodating with our preferences/needs. The food was amazing, and we knew right away that we wanted to use Capers for our wedding. Throughout the wedding planning process, we worked with Kristin O'Connor and she was amazing at knowing even the smallest details about the venue. It made the planning process so much easier, and she made sure that everything would be setup smoothly for the wedding. On the wedding day, Kristin overlooked the setup, and made sure that the day went as planned. Of course, the food was delicious, and all the guests were amazed with the food. We highly recommend Capers!
Wedding: 7/27/2013
Capers Catering catered our wedding that took place on July 27, 2013 at the Courageous Sailing Center in Charlestown, MA.
From beginning to end of the wedding process, Capers was amazing to work with. Kristin O'Connor was our catering coordinator who alongside her amazing chef, John and her team, Kate and Dulce who were there with us to celebrate the big day allowed for the day-John, my husband and our families could not have been happier with the way everything went on the Big Day.
The food was fantastic, the set-up of the tent was gorgeous, the service was amazing-honestly can not say enough great things.
Although I do not plan on having another wedding (sad because it truly was the happiest day of our life!) I will absolutely use them when I have a special event that needs a full service caterer like Capers.
Thank you all you made our wedding amazing!
Wedding: 8/3/2013
My wedding was at Codman Estate, Lincoln, MA, in August 2013. Historic New England (who run the Estate as a historic property and event space) have a limited list of caterers they trust to trust the site well and will work well with the site staff. When I got around to researching, I was so glad they directed me to Capers. From the start, Kate was assigned to our event, and she was very helpful and easy to reach. She was easy to talk to and work with about budget constraints.
We went for a tasting (adding another person at the last minute who they accommodated beautifully) and you could tell that the staff there truly cared about the taste, variety and presentation of the food we would be serving. I did some things for the wedding myself, but I really appreciated that they worked with Historic New England and the Codman Estate to take care of chairs and linens and let me know what sort of things I'd have to take care of- they helped me be organized. We had some special lemonades served before our ceremony and these fabulous passed hors d'oeurves immediately after. They took care of the bar and our signature drinks and all the servers I spoke to were so nice and professional.
We had a variety of cupcakes and ice cream sundaes instead of traditional wedding cake and people raved about it.
The thing that made Capers and Kate so special was that she acted as a sort of "wedding planner" for us on the day of the event. I knew she was keeping track of the time and the details and that everything was running smoothly so I could really enjoy the event.
I cannot stress how delicious our dinners were- to start we had little salads with flowers on them then, braised boneless short ribs or salmon or a stacked vegetable dish for vegans. I was absolutely and totally happy with all of it and my guests loved it.
Wedding: 7/12/2014
I cannot say enough wonderful things about this company and it's employees. Working with Capers was by far one of my favorite parts about our wedding. I am allergic to gluten, so I just assumed that I wouldn't be eating much at our wedding in order to accommodate the guests. That was absolutely not the case, Capers did almost a completely gluten free menu for us and it was one of the best meals I've ever had. The most incredible part was that the guests didn't even know the food was gluten free, and they raved about it as well. Additionally, working with Kate and John to create our menu was a blast. My husband Frank and I spend a lot of time in South Carolina and they were able to take recipes from our favorite restaurants and recreate them! Not only were Kate and John fabulous to work with, but their staff that worked our wedding was amazing too. Literally, the kindest and most thoughtful catering company I have ever met! I know that it can seem like a huge amount of money to go with a caterer, but look no further than Capers. You will NOT be disappointed. I really hope that we'll get a chance to work with them again in the near future!
Wedding: 6/28/2014
We used Capers for our June 2014 wedding at the Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation (CRMI), upon the recommendation of our wedding planner (Emilie Chang of Pink Orchid Weddings). From the tasting we did in June 2013 to the delicious cupcakes that ended our wedding reception, we had a wonderful experience with Capers staff. We worked with Kate Monteiro and the chef to design a menu of passed hors d'oeuvres (mini lobster rolls, spring rolls, watermelon feta cups, and crab cakes), salad, stations (sliders, mac and cheese, and tacos) with three types of cupcakes for dessert. They helped us accommodate allergies (nut and soy) as well as vegan and gluten-free diets. Kate was so helpful and knowledgeable about catering and about the CRMI space and logistics that we never worried one bit about how the catering would go. The food also turned out amazing. Our guests could not stop raving about it!
Wedding: 10/11/2014
I have been married for one month now and I am still hearing from people that the food at the wedding was amazing...and there were a lot of foodies there. :) I am not one to normally write reviews but after our experience with Capers Catering I was compelled. It started right from the beginning. I rushed from work to make it to our appointment after a 12 hour day through the snow and they had hot cider in a mason jar upon my arrival. Kristin was very professional, organized, and quite frankly wonderful. We discussed food options, threw out ideas that weren't even on the menu and discussed multiple options, all the while being excited about food and the anticipated event. They offered to go above and behind with everything, including but not limited to, helping with putting out a few last minute decorations, adding cider to the menu the day before the wedding, one staff member even offered to tie my wife's shoe when she couldn't bend down. The staff was overly friendly, professional, and diligent. If you are having any hesitations wether to hire Capers Catering quite frankly you are crazy. :)
Wedding: 9/27/2014
Kate from Capers was one of the main reasons my wedding day went off without a hitch. The food was delicious, she was incredibly easy to work with in advance (according to my mother), and they received rave reviews from everyone in attendance. We trusted them to make many of the decisions (where to put the bar, number of servers etc), and from set up to clean up, everything was run very smoothly. All service staff that I interacted with were friendly, and my father gave instructions to a few to follow me around with mini lobster rolls...I may have been the only well-fed bride ever! They set a schedule, stuck to it, and checked in often to make sure we were all happy. It was the first time Capers had worked our venue, and our host said that they did an impeccable job breaking down and cleaning, and she plans on using them in the future. As a side-note, we were thrown a day after brunch and they catered that as well, and it was also insanely delicious. I usually find catered brunch food to be disappointing, but theirs was far better than most restaurants' breakfast.
Wedding: 8/30/2014
The entire Capers team was amazing from the beginning to the very end. They were highly professional, detail-oriented, incredibly friendly and fun. Their menu and dishes were both beautiful and scrumptious. For weeks after the reception, guests continually gave their own rave reviews to us. They were a true pleasure to work with and we'd choose them over again every time.
Wedding: 5/25/2014
I cannot say enough how amazing Capers was with all aspects of our wedding. When my wife and I went for our tasting, Kristin genuinely wanted to get to know us before talking business. As a result, we felt comfortable working with Capers from start to finish and they did everything we asked to nail every part of our menu. When we called Capers the week of our wedding to request a new beer, they said no problem, and made it happen. On our wedding day, the Capers staff took care of us and our guests, and they were a seamless part of the night.
As for the food, it was amazing. From the mini lobster rolls during cocktail hour to the flank steak and mac n' cheese bar, to the cake pops and chocolate dipped Oreos, everything was a hit. Our guests raved about the food and we agreed with all the compliments they shared.
Capers also did an amazing job incorporating personal touches throughout our wedding. Feature cocktails were a highlight along with signage and decor items that complimented our theme perfectly.
There is absolutely nothing I would want to change about how Capers managed our menu, bar, decor, and service. We have received rave reviews about our wedding and we know that Capers was a huge part of the reason why. We would absolutely recommend Capers to any couple who is planning their wedding and we know they will receive the same quality of service and food we did!
Wedding: 7/12/2014
Capers was wonderful to work with and the food was delicious! Kate was our contact person, and she was super responsive, accommodating, and helpful. She was the closest person we had to a wedding planner. She helped us choose the food and table settings, work through the timeline and details of the day, and coordinate with our other vendors. She met with my parents and I at the rental store to choose tablecloths and settings, and then took a photo and emailed it to my florist on the spot. She talked through the timeline hour-by-hour so my fiancee and I could understand the flow of the day and make decisions about how we wanted everything to go. After doing the final site visit, she created and emailed us maps of the facility and the reception with all the details we discussed (dinner tables, cocktail tables, cake table, DJ table, bars, etc.). My mother-in-law wanted to do something special with the desserts in addition to the cake, and Capers helped us achieve her vision. Kate always responded to emails quickly and professionally. She also dealt with last minute changes with ease and flexibility. Guests emailed us the week of the wedding with food requests ranging from gluten free, to no nuts/seeds, to vegan. We also had a few guests drop/add at the last minute, including a couple who decided to bring their 6-year-old and not tell us until we met him at the wedding. Throughout all of this, Capers was pleasant and adjusted easily to the changes. My one moment of disappointment was when I realized (late in the process) that I had misunderstood and thought that Kate would be there to coordinate everything on the actual day; she actually coordinates everything with an Event Manager who is the person there on the actual day. I was nervous to hear that, but Kate had been so wonderful and organized throughout the process that I trusted everything would be fine, and it was. She still made time to stop by to say hello at the wedding, and the Event Manager was terrific.
Wedding: 8/23/2014
Capers catered our wedding at the Peabody Essex Museum and WOW, was the food delicious. We got so many compliments on all the food and how it was served hot. The pacing of the courses and attention to some allergies/food restrictions was great.
We also really enjoyed working with Kristin! She is friendly, knowledgeable, responsive, and all-around great at her job. We had some craziness with needing extra-large tables and custom made-to-order linens to go with them, all at the last minute. Kristin jumped through hoops with the equipment rental folks to make sure we had what we needed, on time. She also worked with our baker, and the PEM coordinator, and generally made things easy for us.
This review can't omit the fantastic three hour tasting we had, with lots of great food to try and good conversation and no feeling of being rushed or pressured to sign.
The only reason for four stars is that Capers is also very expensive. You are definitely paying for the excellent food and excellent client service. As foodies with the ability to afford Capers, it was worth it for us because the only other option was Hawthorne. In seriously considering Hawthorne, it's a good value -- MUCH cheaper, and also much lower quality food and client service in our experience.
Wedding: 8/1/2014
Capers catered our wedding at the Codman Estate in Lincoln, MA in August 2014. We couldn't have been happier with them.
We interviewed a number of other businesses. We were looking for one that could work within our budget and, more importantly, understood us.
Communication was also very important to us. Neither the bride nor groom were living locally so the majority of planning had to take place over emails and through phone calls. We wanted to work with people that were quick to respond and were available.
Capers blew our expectations out of the water on all fronts. We worked with Kate Monteiro and she was the epitome of professional, responsive, inspirational, calm, and kind.
Kate worked with us to plan every detail of our menu and worked to incorporate small things that wove together our past, present, and future lives together. Her ability to take disconnected ideas that we provided her and pull them together into a cohesive menu was outstanding.
Jon, the chef, was also terrific to work with. When we went for our tasting he seemed to understand quickly what we were looking for and was enthusiastic about tweaking different dishes to make sure we would have the perfect meal for the perfect day. He did not make us feel bad for requesting changes and seemed happy to add things to the menu in order to capture and reflect our vision.
Capers stood out to us as being different from other options in that they anticipated our needs. Neither my husband nor I have been planning our wedding since we were little and Kate and Jon did not wait for us to ask questions. Instead they anticipated our needs and helped us work through difficult decisions that we didn't even have on our radar. Their ability to help manage the two of us through the planning process with patience and kindness made a huge difference.
In one particular moment that could have washed the entire wedding away, literally, Kate managed to re-arragane the entire ceremony and reception in a matter of minutes. With 40 minutes to go until our outdoor ceremony, the 10% chance of rain turned to 100% chance of floods and about 150 phones went off simultaneously with emergency warnings. Kate calmly implemented a workaround and saved the day. The food was wonderful, and not waterlogged and our guests were comfortable even after they had to squeeze into our plan-b option in the carriage house.
People are still telling us how great the food was.
Wedding: 8/31/2014
In addition to providing great food, Capers was so easy to work with. There were other caterers a bit less expensive, but we chose Capers because it was clear that they would find a way to meet our needs. On the wedding day, we didn't have to worry about a thing, leaving us to thoroughly enjoy our own wedding.
Wedding: 10/5/2014
My wife and I thought we were going to end up working with a different local caterer but we started having second thoughts after some red flags, so we called up Capers and were invited up for a tasting.
While we were sampling a plate of hors d'oeuvres, chef Jon came out and we talked about which apps we really loved (the mini lobster rolls are a MUST and the mini grilled cheese rectangles with creamy tomato soup shooters!), and we talked about a couple options that we didn't think fit in quite as well with what we had in mind so he asked us a few questions to determine what we really liked and what the feel of our wedding would be and then he ran back into the kitchen and excitedly and immediately showed us some potential other options. It was awesome that he was so open and receptive to changing things up and really took the time to talk to us and hear about our favorite restaurant experiences and that kind of thing to gauge what we were looking for. The entire tasting was fantastic and between chef Jon and Kate, we were really happy that we ended up calling them and we knew without a doubt that we wanted to hire Capers.
Kate was truly fantastic to work with. She is so organized and responsive and knowledgable and she made everything super easy for us. She helped point out things we could do to make our service run as smoothly as possible and we were so appreciative. She is invaluable and a total rock star! And she was responsible for so much more than just the catering since we had both our ceremony and reception on site at the Lyman Estate. Everything was literally perfect!
In addition to the excellent service, the food was incredible. Everything that Capers did not only met our expectations but exceeded them. The food on our wedding day was even better than it was at the tasting and we thought it was amazing then! The flavors were bright and crisp and balanced and the plating and service were impeccable. Our guests are still raving about everything, over two weeks later.
We feel so fortunate that we ended up calling Capers. It turned out to be the best decision ever!
Wedding: 8/28/2014
The food was displayed beautifully and it all tasted fantastic! The team did a great job serving and taking care of all of the guests with very little direction.
Wedding: 6/16/2014
My fiancé and I used Capers for our wedding in June 2014. Everyone that we dealt with was super professional and organized, especially Kate, our catering planner. She was very quick to respond to all of my emails/calls and open to helping us make substitutions so we could stay within our budget. The chef did a great job creating a dairy free menu, and the presentation of the food & beverages was so beautiful that decorations weren't needed on the food stations.
My only complaint is that I wish the catering director had made us plates of everything for later, since we were so busy with our guests & wedding responsibilities that we only got to taste maybe half of the food that was served. Kind of a shame since we spent so much on it! Overall, though, I would definitely recommend them to anyone planning a wedding in the Boston area!
Wedding: 3/5/2014
Highly recommend Capers, these guys are great to work with and made planning our wedding so much easier.
First, everything they made was delicious. I still have people commenting on how great the food was 6 months later. During the menu planning, they were really great at offering suggestions that fit the vibe and atmosphere we were going for. They also made a number of customizations, as I am vegan, but none of my guests were. I wanted enough options where I could get a good meal, as I was paying for this, but I didn't want my guest to feel alienated and like they were being served "weird" food.
In addition to the food, one of the really key things about Capers is that they provide you a coordinator. We worked with Kate, who was incredible. I initially expected that our coordinator would really just oversee the production of the meal. No, Kate goes above and beyond there. She helps you with the timelines, she helps you with the rentals, she helps make sure all the other vendors are where they need to be. She responds super quickly to all communication, including the roughly 50+ emails and calls she got from my mom during her "brainstorming." She really goes above what would be expected of a catering manager. We even had a couple of extra people show up to our wedding (they thought that they could bring dates, even though their invite was for one). Kate realized this before the reception even started and was able to coordinate the extra seating and place settings so that none of the additional people felt uncomfortable.
Five stars all around. Working with them takes away a lot of stress out of the process and the day of.
Wedding: 8/20/2014
I cannot imagine our wedding without Kate and Capers!
My husband and I were unable to conduct a tasting before committing to a caterer, which put a lot more pressure on our first point of contact and initial proposal. Kate immediately impressed us with her responsiveness, attention to detail and creativity – our very first proposal from Kate was exactly what we were looking for!
Throughout the planning process, Kate was professional, knowledgeable, organized, hard working, enthusiastic and supportive. She helped up decide on and secure our rentals, led us through a wonderful tasting experience, put together an optimal floor plan for our 3-floor venue, create a wedding timeline and much more! Kate fully immersed herself in understanding our vision and I valued her every recommendation.
At our tasting, we had the most positive experience with Kate and chef John. We were blown away by the quality of food from the appetizers to entrees to late night snacks and appreciated their efforts to make the tasting special and enjoyable. Kate always strikes the perfect balance between professionalism and making the process personal!
Kate played a most integral role in the planning, execution and overall success of our wedding. On our wedding day, Capers above and beyond delivered what we had imagined and so much more! Kate, Diane and the entire Capers team were attentive, gracious and hard working. They made our wedding flow perfectly and pulled everything together from decorations to keeping us on schedule. During cocktails, servers delivered beverages and appetizers to our wedding party as we took some final pictures together. Diane regularly checked in during dinner to make sure my husband and I had everything we needed and some of the servers even rushed to get me a piece of cake since I didn't have time to sit during the dessert!
Thank you Kate and Capers for the most wonderful experience!
Wedding: 7/5/2014
Caper's was AMAZING! I contacted a few caterers and Caper's was the first to respond and also provided the best price and menu. Our contact at Caper's was Kristin and she was so wonderful about getting back to my emails quickly and helping me with anything extra for the wedding (for example, they took care of making "reserved" signs for the ceremony). The food was phenomenal and beautifully presented! Caper's not only provided the food, they really made the event happen. Diane was our coordinator for the day and she was perfect! She made sure everything was set-up (including all of my DIY projects) and checked in regularly to see if there was anything my husband or I needed. In fact, one of the staff members tracked my husband and I down with a plate of appetizers during the cocktail hour (we were having some trouble bustling my dress and it was taking a lot longer than we expected), which we really appreciated because otherwise we would have missed them completely! All of the staff was very professional, friendly, and just wonderful! We can't say enough good things about Caper's and if we ever need a caterer again, we will be calling them!

"I had ordered a menu card to use as a Thank You card. Kristen called to help me with my ordered and suggested that I use the response card. I put a picture of us on the front and below it said Thank you and our names. On the back "Thank you for attending our wedding and for those that could not make it you were missed" Blessings & Love It showed up in 5 days. The card is beautiful and just what I wanted. The customer service was excellent!"
"I like the added touch of our new Monogram on the front. They are blank inside, which I think is best so thank you notes can be personal. These match the invites perfect."
"I ordered these cards for the thank you's for our shower! I love the paper they came on and the printing was great! They even changed the colors for me to match my wedding's (navy blue & pink). My only complaint is that they were much smaller than I had envisioned them being. Which is my fault for not looking more closely at the measurements. This may or may not be a problem for most depending on how long their thank you cards are."
