Courtesy Stemilt GrowersStemilt Growers is promoting its Lil Snappers bagged fruit for children, which is available in conventional or organic. Two new varieties available in the Lil Snappers line this year are braeburn and fuji apples. Stemilt Growers is featuring Pinata apples and its Lil Snappers bagged fruit for children in new display shippers.
"January is our major release for Pinata, and we're going to release thousands of sales bins promoting it," said Roger Pepperl, marketing director for the Wenatchee, Wash.-based grower-shipper.
Stemilt plans to pack plenty of Pinata.
"The crop is growing, and we're continuing to put the pedal down on it," Pepperl said. "It's selling faster and the orchards are getting more mature. We're faced with a bigger crop in the next couple years and we've got to keep busy."
Pinata comes in both conventional and organic.
Besides the sales bins, which come with quick-response codes and point-of-sale signage, Pinata comes in a Lil Snapper bag and a regular 3-pound poly bag.
The QR codes take shoppers to a mobile website on the variety. Pinata also has its own Facebook page, separate from the Stemilt page, that features video to help build a fan base.
Contests and giveaways will take place on Facebook, Pepperl said.
Stemilt also has an outreach to food bloggers.
More conventional publicity also is in the works, such as ads in Cooking Light and Eating-Well magazines.
"We're doing some billboards for Pinata in the Midwest and East Coast in January," Pepperl said. "Some will extend into February or March, but we're hitting it hard in January."
Typical retail prices for Pinata are $1.99-2.49 per pound. Stemilt gave the variety a soft launch in November, but basically it is sold from January to the end of May.
"The crop is extending every year," Pepperl said. "We'd like to see that eventually be a November through June apple. Keeping up with demand keeps us from selling it longer. It's a good problem to have."
For Lil Snappers, the display bins will have a back-to-school theme.
"Fall is traditionally pencils and coats, but January is food for kids and Snappers ties in well with that, both conventional and organic," Pepperl said. "We have a lot of retailers advertising and promoting it."
The bin is a shorter version of the standard display-ready carton. Besides Pinata, gala, granny smith, Honeycrisp and Pink Lady, Stemilt Growers recently added braeburn and fuji for Lil Snappers. Five varieties are available in organic. The company also sells anjou pears under the label. The apples come in sizes 125 and 113 in stand-up, resealable bags.
Stemilt also is continuing its sponsorship of U.S. Water Polo, begun in late 2010. Another display bin shows team members in a pool, holding apples aloft.

HISTORY: Established in 1988 through cooperation with private donors and with the help of other public, institutional collection transfers, these materials were assembled rapidly in recent years at the Mercantile Library under this collection name and collecting program. The collection began with the cataloging and/or retention of the early priced catalogs which reflected the building of the Mercantile Library's earliest collections, and evolved into a deeper bibliographical resource with the passing of time.
SCOPE: This collection spans rare bookselling activity from the late eighteenth century to the present, and offers an historical view, holistically, of the rare book business in America, England, and continental Europe. The collection is of immense bibliographical, visual, and documentary use, and can serve a range of applications, from the documentation of patterns of connoisseurship locally and nationally, to the study of the history or rare book collecting and printing history.
HOLDINGS: 400 linear feet, archivally boxed and preserved, ca.100,000 printed items.
ACCESS: The collection is arranged alphabetically by bookselling firm, as special collection M-106. An inventory exists. The collection is partially catalogued through supplemental cards, as well. Some of the material may be photocopied, digitally scanned, or photographed, depending on condition.

I'm only in the early stages of the game having just bought it this week and have a question - is alien improvement dependent on the speed I improve? I'm asking, because I have a heap of research done and can improve my weapons / armour, but don't have a lot of money. If I upgrade, will the aliens also become more challenging? Or is it just sequencial - the further I get into the game, the tougher things will gradually get?

Aside from leader aliens in UFO's which change after completing story objectives. ( Outsiders - > Sectoid commander - > Etheral )
Every other alien in the game is based on how many months have passed. Aliens get maxed out around month 6 i think.
So if you rush to plasma weapons before month 3 hits you will have a great advantage over low level enemies for the next few months.

Interview: Omari Hardwick Calls His 'Power' Character 'Beautifully Tragic'
VIBE interviewed actor Omari Hardwick on the set of Power, a Starz series premiering this summer (executive-produced by 50 Cent). Watch Omari explain his lead role above.
On being cast as the main character James "Ghost" St. Patrick
"As soon as I came on, [50 Cent] and Courtney Kemp Agboh, the show creator, let it be known that their choice was me a while ago. It's 11 years into the career and Spike Lee [was] my first boss in '03. To have Spike say 'I think this guy has it.' I think 50 looked at the years of my work and said, 'I think Omari is nutty enough [laughs], powerful enough, bright enough.' Ghost has to be a lot of different things so I'm extremely humbled that 50 and Courtney thought I could carry this cast."
On Ghost's personality and what motivates him
"I always go into a character thinking, if it scares me I can do it. I think at the end of the day I was thirsty for all sides of this guy, for the father in him, for the bad in him, for the good in him, for where he could go, where the other characters surrounding me could go. I didn't want to just do a show where my character stood out and other characters were flat or one-to-two-dimensional. I wanted everybody to have meat."
"This guy was so colorful and he was living his life where he had to figure out how to be truthful while still telling a lie. That's the thing that attracted me most to it. The drug element, the cheating element, he's having an affair... I like to think he's having an affair with life, not just with a woman or not just with the drugs on the side. Pretty amazing character, and like you said he is as tragic as anybody we've ever seen in Shakespeare. He's beautifully tragic."

Top of the Stairs
The top of the stairs directly south of Brigham Young University campus in Provo, UT. If you're in Provo, then it's easy to find BYU campus, just ask anyone. Go to the very south end and there are around 80 steps that lead to the street below. From right here at the top of these stairs are tons of amazing things to shoot! 1) the stairs themselves 2) if you're looking down the stairs and then you turn to your left, there is a great view of the Rocky Mountains 3) to your right is a pretty path that just continues downhill 4&5) straight above you is a guaranteed awesome shot of the sky because the sky in Utah is huge and full of fluffy clouds 6) go down a few steps and take a shot of the street in front-it's pretty in late afternoon with tons of shadows across the street. Any season is good to come: snowy winter, autumn with colorful leaves, sunny days all offer you cool photos. Don't walk around here at night though-it's dangerous and there's nothing to shoot!

I bought this product on www (dot) direct-sales-online (dot) com and i bet any guy would love to have this.
It is efficient, it shortened the time of my shaving; it's great that I can simply wash it after usage; it's comfortable to hold; too bad it doesn't come with a sack to keep it with the cord and brush altogether in it.
it's a really nice smooth shave, it just glides over my face without dragging and is as close as any electric shaver. Also a lot quiter than my past shavers.

This is a wonderful dish to make from left-over chapatis. The corn and mushroom filling adds crunchiness to these rolls. Once you ensure that the chapattis are fat free and replace cheese with low calorie white sauce, you have a 'heart friendly' dish at hand.

Ron Rezek designed the world's first contemporary-styled ceiling fan, the Stratos, in 1986. But his list of accomplishments in the design world is long and varied, from lifeguard equipment to contemporary lighting. In 1997, Ron started The Modern Fan Co. in Ashland, Oregon, which produces and sells only contemporary ceiling fans.
His ceiling fans have been widely used in hotels, restaurants, retail and institutional applications, and all types of residential projects.
Ron Rezek's Philosophy:
"I don't think contemporary means a stark white room. I think it means a tasteful alignment of important elements. There are some designers who copy the Modernists who have come before. But I think 'contemporary' is the pursuit of the new." "People assume that all contemporary fixtures are more functional than traditional ones. That is because contemporary fixtures are easier to clean and they seem to be more utilitarian based on their appearance. And because of their simplicity and lack of ornamentation, they also have an alliance with the industrial look. But all of this doesn't necessarily translate into function. The Modern Fan Co.'s fans are designed to be functional and energy efficient. This is part of being contemporary and pushing the edge. Energy efficiency is the wave of the future."

Schawk Signs Gravure Cylinder Supply Agreement, Posts Sales Decline
May 5, 2011Consolidated Results for First Quarter Ended March 31, 2011
Consolidated net sales in the first quarter of 2011 were $107.2 million compared to $111.7 million in the same period of 2010, a decrease of approximately $4.5 million, or 4 percent. The quarter-over-quarter sales decline was partially offset by $1.4 million of foreign currency translation gains, as the U.S. dollar declined in value relative to the local currencies of certain of the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries.
• Consumer packaged goods (CPG) accounts sales in the first quarter of 2011 were $82.3 million, or 76.8 percent of total sales, compared to $84.4 million in the same period of 2010, a decrease of 2.5 percent. The decrease over the prior-year quarter was primarily driven by decreased product and brand activity by the company's CPG clients.
• Advertising and retail accounts sales of $18.5 million, or 17.3 percent of total sales, in the first quarter of 2011 decreased 11.2 percent, from $20.8 million in the prior-year period. Included in the decline in Advertising and retail accounts sales is a $1.9 million decline in revenue related to the previously disclosed loss of a non-core, retail client during the third quarter of 2010.
• Entertainment accounts sales for the first quarter of 2011 of $6.4 million, or 6.0 percent of total sales, were essentially comparable to the $6.5 million reported in the same period of 2010.
Gross profit was $38.8 million in the first quarter of 2011, a decrease of $3.1 million from the first quarter of 2010. First-quarter 2011 gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 36.1 percent from 37.5 percent in the 2010 first-quarter period. The decline in gross profit percent was largely driven by the reduced operating leverage resulting from the lower period-over-period revenue.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses declined approximately $1.5 million to $31.0 million in the first quarter of 2011 from $32.5 million in the first quarter of 2010, principally due to the sublease of certain vacant properties in Europe.
During the first quarter of 2011, the Company reported business and systems integration expenses of $1.2 million compared to $0.1 million in the prior-year comparable period. As previously disclosed, these expenses relate to the Company's information technology and business process improvement initiative.
The company recorded a $0.5 million loss on foreign exchange exposures in the first quarter of 2011 compared to a loss of $1.8 million in the comparable prior-year period. The Company's foreign exchange gains or losses are largely driven by unhedged currency exposure from intercompany debt obligations of the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries. Since foreign currency gains or losses primarily relate to intercompany financing activity, the economic impact to the Company is minimal, as these gains or losses are mostly offset by corresponding losses or gains in accumulated comprehensive income, net, included in stockholders' equity.
There were no expenses related to the impairment of long-lived assets during the first quarter of 2011 compared to $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2010. During the first quarter of 2010, certain equipment sustained water damage and was rendered inoperable at one of the Company's facilities.
Acquisition integration and restructuring expenses increased from $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2010 to $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2011. The charges in the 2011 first quarter arose from the Company's continued focus on consolidating, reducing and re-aligning the Company's work force and operations and are for employee terminations and other associated costs. These actions are expected to result in annualized savings of approximately $1.3 million, with approximately $1.0 million to be realized during 2011.
Schawk reported operating income of $5.5 million in the 2011 first quarter compared to $6.5 million in the first quarter of 2010. The decrease in operating income compared to the prior-year period was primarily the result of the decrease in gross margin driven by lower revenue coupled with increased business and systems integration expenses, mitigated somewhat by the Company's previously-discussed cost reduction efforts, lower foreign exchange losses and reduced expenses related to the impairment of long-lived assets.
Net income in the first quarter of 2011 was $2.8 million compared to $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2010. Excluding the after-tax effects of certain expenses detailed within the non-GAAP tables at the end of this press release, first-quarter 2011 Adjusted net income was $4.2 million compared to $4.5 million on a comparable basis for the prior-year period.
Adjusted EBITDA and Management Adjusted EBITDA Performance
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2011 was $10.4 million compared to $12.2 million for the first quarter of 2010. Management adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2011 was $12.5 million compared to $14.3 million for the first quarter of 2010. Please refer to the "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA and Management Adjusted EBITDA" table attached at the end of this press release for a reconciliation of these measures.

Composting food waste relieves pressure on landfills while producing an inexpensive, nutrient-rich soil amendment that farmers use to improve soil fertility. Compost adds organic matter to the soil, increasing the water-holding capacity of its structure, facilitating root penetration and making nutrients available to crops over time.
Subsistence farmers have traditionally relied on composting and livestock manure to improve soils. The Ibo tribe of Nigeria, for example, used branches from trees for mulching, applied goat dung to individual plants, and composted human waste as early as the 1970s. In Zimbabwe, farmers traditionally graze cattle during the day and contain them in pens at night so that they can collect the manure and spread it over farmland.
A number of projects have been teaching farmers across the continent how to compost and improve the quality of compost produced. A participatory radio show in the Zégoua region of Mali resulted in a 64 percent increase in household adoption of composting. In Kenya, a demonstration project turned waste from households, vegetable markets, and an avocado processing plant into compost that farmers could use to increase crop yields or sell. And farmers in Pelungu, Ghana, are building goat shelters with sloped floors that transport dung into a central location using gravity. The manure is then composted and used on farms.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Dooney!
Facts about Dooney
- Breed: Poodle (Miniature) Mix
- Color: White - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Dooney's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, a special needs pet, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Dooney is a three-year-old poodle mix who is blind and epileptic. But don't let his special needs turn you away! His epilepsy has been addressed with (easy and cheap) medication and he gets along great despite his blindness. He's very smart and learns to navigate very quickly. Special needs animals are wonderful companions too, and are especially deserving of loving homes.
Dooney is from Iran. He was found dumped at a park when he was just a puppy. He has been stateside for four months and is eagerly looking for a place to call home.
Dooney is very friendly and loves to be held. he sleeps most of the day.
Dooney is neutered, up to date with shots and microchipped. He is housetrained once he is shown where to go.
This is a courtesy post for Vafa Animal Shelter.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Dooney, a Vista Poodle (Miniature) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Poodle (Miniature) for sale in Vista, or seeking a Poodle (Miniature) dog from a breeder in Vista.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Vista 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 Vista 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 Poodle (Miniature) breeders who help with Poodle (Miniature) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Vista paves the way for another one to be saved.

www.usmemorialday.org -- a web site devoted entirely to Memorial Day -- defines it as, "Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service."
If we differ on the definition of "our nation's service," so be it. But Memorial Day should be a time to remember not only dead members of the armed forces, but also dead members of other forces that also died in "our nation's service."
Dr. George Tiller died exactly one year ago this Memorial Day week-end. On May 31, 2009, Dr. Tiller was shot by Scott Roeder, a self-styled "pro-life" person who sees nothing wrong with gunning down the abortion-provider during a religious service at Tiller's Lutheran church.
Shannon Elizabeth Lowney, then 25 and Lee Ann Nichols, then 38, both staff members at Planned Parenthood of Massachusetts were senselessly and fatally gunned down at their desks by John Salvi on December 31, 1994. In 1998 Dr. Barnett Slepian was shot to death at his home in Amherst, New York and Robert Sanderson, an off-duty police officer who worked as a security guard at an abortion clinic in Birmingham, Alabama, was killed when his workplace was bombed.
Tiller, Lowney, Nichols, Slepian and Sanderson are heroes of the war America sees but is reluctant to recognize. It is a war that has been raging since January 22, 1973 when Roe v. Wade became the law of the land.
Few Americans realize that when Roe was finally passed it did not "legalize" abortion, which was already available in more than half the states. What Roe did was give all women in the US the same access to safe and legal abortions whatever state they called home.
National Abortion Federation statistics show that between 1989 and 2004, 179 incidents if bombings, attempted bombings and arson occurred at abortion facilities across America.
Between 1991 and 2004, when NAF started tracking these statistics, 24 people were murdered - Dr. Tiller's assassination brings that number to 25.
Then there were the nearly 3500 incidents of invasion, assault and battery, stalking, death threats, burglary and vandalism. There were also nearly 500 blockades at clinics and the tens of thousands of picketing demonstrations to be counted, complete with full-color blown-up photographs of fetuses, and hateful epithets hurled at clinic staff and-- worse-- at patients.
All this allegedly occurs in the name of "life."
Most women and men born after 1960 have no recollection of a time when abortion was legally unavailable. They do not recall a time when a woman facing an unintended and unwanted pregnancy had only the options to have the child and keep it, give it up for adoption, or risk an illegal abortion with all the medical risks that illegal procedure entailed. They did not attend the funerals of sisters, mothers, friends, wives and other women we loved for whom no one could stop the hemorrhaging or cure the sepsis an illegal or self-induced abortion created.
We take legal abortion, now available but ever shrinking in scope, for granted, much as we see other freedoms as written in stone. We assume a perpetual right to free expression, an endless right to travel freely, an untouchable right to a jury of our peers, as well as a secure right to privately make our own reproductive choices. I know the last right listed here is in serious jeopardy today: the others are at least at high risk.
This Memorial Day, speeches will be made about the men and women who died in Europe, in Korea, in Vietnam and in the Middle East. Wreaths and flags will be placed on their graves. Speakers will say that these soldiers died to protect our freedoms: they will especially recall the recently killed in the two wars still raging, in Iraq and Afghanistan.
We need to recall a third war still raging and a right that was also fought for as women's most basic freedom to control their own fertility is sacrificed at the altar of political maneuvering for health care legislation and will likely be sacrificed further by desperate incumbents come mid-term elections.
We should remember the heroes of that ongoing war for reproductive choices, as well as the millions of women who died before them, from the bleeding, self-mutilation and/or infections, before America declared that such slaughter of grown human beings-- often mothers to other children-- had to stop.
These heroes and their cause may never be wrapped in the flag, but neither should they be suffocated by it.
I will never understand their pretzel logic.
I too have thought of these alleged "pro-lifers" as terrorists too Why they kill in the name of life, I'll never understand.
How true that this choice is one so many young women take too much for granted. I try to emphasize it, and so much else about the Bad Old Days, whenever I talk w/young women—not that they ever listen to me.
I cringe when people say "abortion should not be used as birth control"because that is what it is. I think the best reason (for any reason) for having an abortion is "I do not want to have a child". I am so grateful for all the health care providers and activists who made these choices possible, and sad that so many have been forced to work behind bullet proof glass or go out of business altogether. We are entering a new era of "inaccessible and barely legal".
My father served in Vietnam. My grandfather served in the infantry during World War II. Another grandfather was in the military but was luckily never called into deployment. They all have seen the worst that mankind has to offer and have forever been altered by what they experienced. Their friends and colleagues are buried in cemetaries across this country, Europe, and Asia. I consider myself blessed that all three made it home alive, since that wasn't the case for so many other families.
My father visited the Vietnam Veterans Memorial for the first time on Memorial Day. I think it was the 25th anniversary of the memorial. He thought he had dealt with his feelings about his experience in Vietnam, but seeing the names of his dead friends - and the flood of memories that brought - was more than he could handle. The quintessential tough guy broke down in tears, along with many other men and women at the memorial that day. My grandfather to this day refuses to speak about what he saw and experienced in Europe. He did tell me about the exact moment he knew he was heading overseas - when he realized that his train was heading in the wrong direction - and the awful recognition that he and his friends were simply cannonfodder at a time when the Army needed more bodies.
So at a time when Memorial Day is already threatened by those who see it as just another three-day weekend, or the official start to summer, I guess your post just triggered a protective instinct in me. I never served myself, so its my responsibility as a citizen to uphold that holiday as sacred on behalf of my father, grandfathers, and all those who were hurt or lost fighting for my freedoms and opportunities.
This isn't to say that we shouldn't celebrate and honor the sacrifices made by Dr. Tiller and countless other individuals in the name of choice and individual rights. Their efforts and bravery are equally deserving of the honor we bestow on our fallen veterans. Let's just pick another day and give everyone their due.
And good call on a 'makes you think' post.
"In 1966, the federal government, under the direction of President Lyndon Johnson, declared Waterloo, N.Y., the official birthplace of Memorial Day. They chose Waterloo—which had first celebrated the day on May 5, 1866—because the town had made Memorial Day an annual, community-wide event during which businesses closed and residents decorated the graves of soldiers with flowers and flags.
By the late 1800s, many communities across the country had begun to celebrate Memorial Day and, after World War I, observances also began to honor those who had died in all of America's wars. In 1971, Congress declared Memorial Day a national holiday to be celebrated the last Monday in May. (Veterans Day, a day set aside to honor all veterans, living and dead, is celebrated each year on November 11.)
Today, Memorial Day is celebrated at Arlington National Cemetery with a ceremony in which a small American flag is placed on each grave. Also, it is customary for the president or vice-president to give a speech honoring the contributions of the dead and lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. About 5,000 people attend the ceremony annually."
Shiela and Poppi - I'm honored to have your rates- Thanks
coachcatain and elsmao3 - Welcome to my page and thanks for the thoughtful reads and comments.
Oryoki Bowl...so THAT's where you got all those good genes!
Reader not Writer...I refer you to the opening sentence of this piece and the first sentence of the second paragraph...If anyone would like to give us our own holiday to remember these Choice Heroes, we'll take it...but that's not likely. So I am choosing to remember their "service to the nation" this weekend. You are very generous to give me the Rate despite your disagreement....and generosity of that sort is something OS could use more of...Thank you for setting such a lovely tone for debate.
Sophie- Thanks for making the point
The twisted logic of individuals who kill in the name of preserving life escapes me.
marbles...And when does the woman's life begin? Are you willing to sentence her to possible death? We KNOW she's a living, breathing, human adult...with a birth certificate, driver's license, voter registration, passport...the works. Is she disposable? In any case, whatever you believe, you cannot condone the murder of clinic staff, can you?
Rodney, welcome to my page and thank you for your wisdom.
It's easy to honor those who make the ultimate sacrifice against "the other".
It's much harded to stand up and appreciate the struggle to defend our fundamental rights and privileges when they are assaulted by foes closer to home and hearth.
Wherever you stand on the issue the violence perpetrated in this argument is wrong. Call it terrorism, criminal, insanity, but more simply it is, wrong.
Here's a revelatory site memorializing Dr. Tiller's death:
And I've got to hope someday we can all be free and equal. I know, I'm a dreamer.
marbles...that's a GOOD thing.
Connie Mack- RE, "...I know I'm a dreamer..."
as John Lennon said, "..But [you're] not the only one..."
Keep on keepin' on!
Being pro life means no abortion, no death penalty, no pulling feeding tubes, and no taking of life by judging another too evil to live. Hypocrisy is being anti abortion and pro death penalty, picking and choosing our morals as if they are on a smorgasbord. There will never be reconciliation between the two sides, both being firm in their beliefs. The law (Roe v. Wade) means nothing to the pro life folks, it being a creation of man. You'll see me as a person of diminished intelligence, a man who has no say anyway, a religious zealot, a nutjob. I'm of the family of man and what affects some of us, affects all of us. I'm a father and a grandfather and I love children and the thought of a life not brought into their own person-hood, grieves my heart. I also serve a God who is love and try as I might, I can find no love in this act, with love being selfless.
Please leave Memorial Day for our war dead. Over one million, two hundred and thirty four thousand lives lost so we might have this conversation. They deserve a day of their own.
This is the first article, [you have written] I have read. It will not be the last. I agree this past holiday should be an Honor Day for our military fallen. I also don't believe there will ever be a day for the martyrs for this important cause . I do thank you for reminding us. This is an important issue.
We will some day see the Old Times return I fear. I read and sign petitions all I can to keep this freedom for the future women. I tell all the pro-life women and girls that bring it up to me I believe in their choice to have their babies. I would also tell them I believe in their choice not to have a baby. I have to ask also if they believe in the death penalty. Almost all said yes. Now the pro-choicers have almost always said no to the question.
I also think we should be able to remember all the other issues that are going on in this country and add a voice to them also.
I heard Keith Olberman once tell of a truely religious man say curse words are not what is meant to use the Lords name in vain. I found this important. It is the hypocrisy of some one doing a wrong in Gods name. Like planning and [while in prayer for Gods help] killing these people. I'll remember these words always.

The Andalucia region
Álora is 40 km inland from the Costa del Sol near the famous climbing area of El Chorro at the head of the Guadalhorce Valley famous for citrus fruit growing. Famous for the warm sunny climate, the Arabic architecture and food, the moorish influences of the old towns, and the gentleness and welcoming nature of the Andalucian people, this is a wonderful place to visit and has something for everyone.
Transport via road or rail is excellent, and access to cities, sporting activities and wonderful beaches is really good. Malaga is underrated and the old town is well worth a visit - not only to see the Picasso Museum. The shopping is good too! Recommendations for day trips - Cordoba by train, Gibraltar by car, Nerja/Maro by car (just over an hour)
Álora is a traditional white hill town with winding streets, and lots of small shops, restaurants and bars. Just 12 km from the town is El Chorro with world class climbing attracting the best climbers. The Ardales Lakes are just a short drive through the national park - wonderful for swimming, hiking, cycling, and gentle walks. This is a beautiful area year round.
Andalucia is renowned for its Ferias, its festivals and holidays. Here we have a feria in July when everyone enjoys the holiday atmosphere, enjoys the dancing and singing with flamenco of course being the star performer. The nearby areas and villages all have their own ferias too, so there is plenty of enjoyment to be had. However, all year round there are excellent restaurants, many having large covered terraces for shady summer eating. In winter we celebrate the day of the kings on the 6th January, and we have holidays for 'Andalucia Day' and various saints days throughout the year. Any excuse really to get together with friends, relax and eat together and generally have fun.

"Wonderful week"
We enjoyed a super week in Casa Los Olivos and didn't want to leave. The house is very clean, comfortable and very well equipped with a private garden and a lovely pool. It is such a relaxing place and Helen and Alan are superb hosts - very friendly and helpful but never intrusive. It is a lovely area of Spain with splendid lakes and mountains and thankfully very Spanish and not touristy. Alora is a nice town with everything you could need including an excellent train service into Malaga which proved to be an interesting city to explore. We very much hope that we can make a return holiday in 2012.

"A lovely week in Spain"
My husband and I stayed at Casa Los Olivos back in June. We had such a lovely stay. The hosts were very friendly and gave us some great recommendations for nearby places to visit. The self catering accommodation was very comfortable and spacious but we spent most of the time lying around by the pool and having table tennis championships. Perfect!

"Total Relaxation, Total Comfort, Totally Brilliant"
As parents of two young children the words 'family' and 'holiday' haven't exactly gelled in the past - but this was a really lovely, relaxing 'family holiday'. The accommodation is spotless and very well appointed - we didn't have to lug travel cot or car seats with us as they were provided - and having 2 bathrooms in the cottage was great. The location is beautiful with views of the mountains and the church in Allora. A safe pool (well fenced in and locked when not in use) meant we could let the kids run around the garden without worrying. Enjoyed the outdoor table tennis and the many comfy places around the villa to enjoy that sundown G&T. We went into Allora (which feels Spanish rather than touristy) a couple of times to eat and thanks to the hosts recommendations had excellent meals. The hosts are very welcoming and helpful (and were good at only being around when we needed them!) - they even babysat for us one evening giving us the chance for a grown up night out. The kids loved the wolf sanctury and the beach is a short car ride away. Would recommend - we will be back!

Within a short time of arriving at Casa Los Olivos it felt like home. Everything is there, everything works and the house is comfortable without being showy (a bonus when you have young children racing around!)
The owners, Helen and Alan, live in the house next door and are always on hand when needed with local information and recommendations for places to eat and visit.
The highlight is the fabulous pool, great fun for the kids and a tranquil place for an evening swim too.
If you don't want the hustle and bustle of the coast, this is a wonderful base for a family holiday. I recommend it.

The word tapering in financial terms is increasingly being used to refer to the reduction of the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing, or bond buying programme.
"Taper talk" started in June 2013 when speculation increased that the Fed would start on a tapered end to QE in 2014. The increase in bond yields had already inflicted heavy losses on bond investors. There were mixed opinions on whether tapering or suspending QE would be good for markets or not.

Welcome, Guest (Log in) | Your Account
Sacred Flame opened up for business officially in October 2010 and it's been one amazing journey! However, I will be starting a new chapter and unfortunately this means I have closed up shop as of August 15th, 2014.
I am truly, deeply grateful to all of my customers and supporters. And of course to those simple plastic circles. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
It has been a damn fine pleasure serving you, meeting you, and spinning with you! There have been so many awesome connections made and doors opened through both my time with the hoop and running this little business. It's been a blessing.
As for the why of it: Come September my partner and I will be uprooting and setting off to travel long term. Our goal is to learn more, explore more, experience more, and flow more. I invite you to follow along via my personal blog or on Instagram.
Lots of love! ♥

By BUST Magazine in Movies on Aug 17, 2013
In a world where movie-trailer voiceovers are dominated by men, one woman has a dream—to become the first woman to ever utter the words "in a world" in a movie trailer.
Lake Bell (Childrens Hospital), who also wrote and directed this comedy, stars as Carol, an underemployed vocal coach and aspiring voice actor whose father, Sam (Fred Melamed), is a superstar in the insular movie trailer industry. After Sam kicks Carol out of the house to make room for his girlfriend, she becomes a rising movie-trailer star in her own right—much to Sam's annoyance.
Thanks to Bell's comedy connections, even the small roles here are filled by recognizable, hilarious actors, like Tig Notaro and Nick Offerman (who play sound engineers). Among a very talented cast, however, Demetri Martin stands out as Louis, a charmingly awkward engineer with a crush on Carol.
For all its laughs, In A World… isn't short on messages or touching moments—Bell tackles marriage, infidelity, and forgiveness in a subplot about Carol's sister and brother-in-law, examines father/daughter relationships, and takes viewers behind Sam's exaggerated masculinity to show the insecurity beneath. Most importantly, though, the film is about women striving and succeeding in male-dominated industries. The point is driven home in a cameo by Geena Davis, who delivers a speech that would be right at home at the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media. And of course, it's damn funny, too.

LGI Reports Fiscal 2011 Results
Liberty Global, Inc. ("Liberty Global," "LGI," or the "Company") (NASDAQ: LBTYA, LBTYB and LBTYK), today announces financial and operating results for the year and the three months ("Q4") ended December 31, 2011. Please note that our Australian business, Austar, has been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented. Highlights for the full year compared to the same period for 2010 (unless noted), include: 1
- Organic RGU 2 additions increased 42% to 1.2 million
- Revenue of $9.5 billion, representing rebased 3 growth of 5%
- Operating Cash Flow ("OCF") 4 of $4.5 billion, reflecting rebased growth of 5%
- Operating income increased 30% to $1.8 billion
- Adjusted Free Cash Flow ("Adjusted FCF") 5 of $791 million, up 20%
Liberty Global's President and CEO Mike Fries commented, "The operating momentum we exhibited throughout 2011 continued into the fourth quarter with 380,000 net RGU additions, and 1.2 million for the full year. Our broadband bundles are driving demand across our footprint, which is now over 90% upgraded to offer 100+ Mbps speeds. 6 This demand propelled us to a record quarter in both broadband and telephony, as we added approximately 230,000 RGUs of each product in the fourth quarter."
"Strong subscriber growth helped generate rebased revenue growth of 5% in the fourth quarter to $2.4 billion, while OCF also increased 5% on a rebased basis to $1.1 billion. For the full year, we generated revenue of $9.5 billion and OCF of $4.5 billion, reflecting rebased growth of 5% for both. We achieved or exceeded all of our operating guidance targets, including Adjusted Free Cash Flow, which grew 20% to $791 million. Looking ahead, we are optimistic regarding our growth prospects in 2012 given the strong RGU additions that we have seen so far this year."

The Ultimate Guide to Spring '14 Bridal Trends
The bridal trends for Spring 2014 leave room to try something a bit different. While gorgeous white gowns and traditional strapless silhouettes certainly made their customary appearance, it wasn't all run of the mill. Vera Wang surprised with black-and-white looks, finished with dramatic black opera-length gloves. Oscar de la Renta dipped into the color wheel for a true "something blue," Reem Acra turned out cocktail minis topped with veiled umbrellas, and Carolina Herrera debuted a sexier kind of wedding-day ensemble (think deep V-front necklines). For inspiration aplenty — and a closer look at what exactly the Spring '14 bridal forecast means for your own wedding-dress search — click on.

Lower Taxes in New Haven - Stop the Raises
WE THE PEOPLE demand that the Board of Aldermen and the New Haven City Administration FREEZE all administrative and non union salaries at current levels, including the Mayor and City Clerk salaries. Due to the precarious financial situation of the New Haven government, the last several years of TAX INCREASES, and the overall dismal economic outlook for the average taxpayer in New Haven. If and when the city administration can come back to the taxpayers with a real DECREASE IN TAXES, then the Board of Aldermen and the City Administration may consider a reasonable increase in wages for future years, not based on some retroactive formula or argument.

Comments: I hope the Mayor and the Alders read the papers and note the comments by concerned citizens. But the Mayor and the Alders that ran this year did win another 2 year term (except for one). Until we voters send a clearer message, we should not be surprised by the audacity of this request.

Comments: It is time for the aldermanic board to work for the people of New Haven rather than for city hall.
