HoopsHype Nene rumors
Chris Miller: Nene will not play tonight vs. Sixers left calf strain. #WizardsTalk@ # Twitter @cmillscsn
Last summer, Nene decided to stay away from basketball to let his body heal and received a negative backlash when Brazil went winless in the FIBA Americas tournament in Venezuela. "If people want to boo because of the national team and those things, they should boo me," Coach Randy Wittman said. "Because I really thought this was a summer that Nene needed to take off for his body. The summer before he played, he had plantar fasciitis, and played through it. His body needed a recovery. And when you play 100 games, alright, like we do and you get to a point in your career where your body breaks down a little bit, you've got to let it recover. That's what I wanted him to do. So if Brazil wants to be mad, don't be mad at Nene, be mad at me." Washington Post
Schmidt said it was their own doing, while mentioning other players from Brazil and other countries that play for their national team. Cleveland Cavaliers center Anderson "Varejao, most of the time comes. [San Antonio Spurs forward] Tiago Splitter – fantastic. But Leandro and Nene. They have problems. They have big problems and I hate to say. I hate to say," Schmidt said. Nene "just come to the Olympics? Who doesn't want to play in the Olympics? Everyone! Everyone! [Manu] Ginobili goes every time [and Luis] Scola goes every time [for Argentina]. Tony Parker goes every time [for France]. Dirk Nowitzki goes every time [for Germany]. All the Dream Team in America. And why not ours? So…okay?" Washington Post
Michael Lee: Nene on boos: "The important thing is that I'm feeling very happy & I'm representing all of the Brazilian players playing abroad." #wizards Twitter @MrMichaelLee
Michael Lee: Nene on not playing for national team: "I don't have to defend myself because I didn't steal, I didn't kill & I didn't rob." #wizards Twitter @MrMichaelLee
Michael Lee: Nene continued: "Instead of celebrating this very special & unique moment, people are sticking to some very small things." #wizards Twitter @MrMichaelLee
Michael Lee: Oscar Schmidt on Nene: "Everybody knows what he's does. If you don't want to play for national team, don't talk about your country. Ever." Twitter @MrMichaelLee
"It's amazing," Nene said of the love he has received and given back since returning to his native Brazil. "You don't need to a lot. Simple gestures here, you can change people's day or a kid's life. In my way here, I just try to spend time with them as much as I can. Sign and take pictures. For me, that's nothing. That's my job, but that makes a huge impact on their life." Washington Post
But the relationship fractured for a brief period after both entered the NBA when Barbosa fired Michael Coyne, the agent who represented both players at the time. Nene stopped talking to Barbosa but later made amends after he eventually parted with Coyne as well. "You know as friends, you have up and down. We had that," Barbosa said. "But it didn't affect our relationship and we became close again and nothing is going to separate us again. He knows that. I love him. He loves me. This is a good thing." Washington Post
After practice, Nene grabbed a chair behind the Wizards' bench and Barbosa joined him for a lengthy conversation. "That's my brother," Nene said of Barbosa. "And it's always good to see him and I hope he can figure out. I wish the best for him and I hope he get healthy fast as possible, start practicing again in the NBA." Washington Post
Michael Lee: Nene no longer wears Adidas. Switched to Nike last summer after dealing with some foot troubles. Was it the shoes? We'll see #wizards Twitter @MrMichaelLee
Michael Lee: Nene: "Rio, everything is good here. Just be careful. Don't mix it up, woman for man, that's the only thing I can say, man." #wizards Twitter
In advance of Washington's trip to Brazil during the preseason, John Wall spoke to ESPN Brazil over the weekend. Nene helped him say something or other about ESPN Brazil in Portuguese. It was magical. Washington Post
Randy Wittman: "Nene got in town Aug. 30. He's been on the floor. He feels good. He's had a whole summer where he didn't have to worry about the pounding and the stuff he did last summer having the injuries he did and having to play on the (Brazil) national team and never gave his body a chance to recover. He's feeling good. He looks good. I'm pretty pleased with that. I anticipate him being ready to go. When did we play our last game? Five months ago? He's done a lot of good work this summer, not only from a rest standpoint but from physical therapy. He's built his strength back up. I anticipate we'll head into the season with no restrictions." CSNWashington.com
After rehabilitating all summer, Nene is back and training with the Wizards a little less than a month before training camp begins. He is joined this week by the Wizards' key free agent acquisition, Eric Maynor. Al Harrington, who signed in August as a free agent, has yet to report because he is dealing with a family matter. John Wall, Bradley Beal, Glen Rice and Martell Webster already have been training at Verizon Center. CSNWashington.com

Gallery: Werner Aisslinger's Hemp Chair is a Modern Take on Stackable S...
Stackable chairs usually bring forth images of those old, clunky plastic and metal chairs from grade school. But designer Werner Aisslinger has modernized the concept using sustainable hemp to make a streamlined version with the same convenience. Using a production method borrowed from the automotive industry, the monobloc chair comes in natural or black and is supported by German chemical company BASF.
Each chair is pressed into shape from one continuous fiber sheet. Aisslinger, who is with BASF, created the material, which fuses 70% hemp and kenaf fibers with a water-based acrylic resin called Acrodur. The fusion process is environmentally safe and does not release any of the toxic phenols or formaldehyde from the resin — the only by-product is eco-safe water. Since the chair is made with compression molding — a common process in making automobile parts — the resin is not further activated.
Another benefit to using hemp fibers, instead of the reinforced plastic that is traditionally used in stackable chairs, is that each chair is incredibly lightweight and easy to move. The Acrodur ensures tactile durability, while still maintaining the fibrous softness of hemp.
Aisslinger designed the chair with the modern consumer in mind. The chair appropriately made its debut at an art exhibition called "Poetry Happens" in Venture Lambrate, where it was accompanied by a taxidermy sheep standing below a hemp "cloud."

Can this clock radio be fixed?
socksNovember 22, 2009
The cord on my Sony clock radio is broken (see pic). I cannot remember if something connected these two wires or how such a clean break occurred.
Can this be repaired somehow?
A power cord??? You can't solder a power cord. Just put a new plug on it. If the cord has a 'ridged' edge, connect it the same way as the original plug was.
Soldering or otherwise joining it would be illegal and, frankly, stupid.

How big will Ebb Tide get in SoCal?
After reading peoples posts about the wonderful scent, I had to pick up one of the last two at the local nursery.
They were both about 2x2 in 5g pots (from Weeks) (just under on the height) and looking very vigorous! No open flowers on these two or I am sure they would be gone.
I am trying to decide what to do to give her a tad bit of shade from the worst of the afternoon sun for now while I wait for the background plant to grow or just put her in a different spot that already has afternoon sun.
I prune mine pretty heavily after a flush, to keep her low. Maybe not a good idea, just, due to some rather arm sized mulch, she got a little dry and lanky looking, tossed some leaves I guess, so, major hair cut!
(and I ordered fine bark mulch, four cubic yards, and pieces were the size of my arm...fine, my arse!!)
I have two bushes of Ebb Tide, both four years old. One is on Dr Huey rootstock, the other one is grafted onto Fortuniana. Both are very small at about 2x2". Even in my intense heat here, the blooms are dark purple most of the time and intensely fragrant in large clusters.
we are coastal CA, Santa Barbara, so not as hot as inland. But she is already 2x2ish, guessing Dr Huey too.
Trying to figure out how much more she will take off. The rose union does look fairly old maybe this is more than a couple years old?

Auto-Populate your Equipment, Parts & Suppies with MA Source™
When it comes to setting up a CMMS for the first time, one of the biggest challenges is getting your data into the CMMS. The MA Source™ feature lets you automatically populate your equipment or parts database by using related information directly from leading MRO parts databases. When creating a new part, you can use the search feature to locate the part in the MRO database. When you locate the part you need, simply click copy to CMMS and your part record is automatically populated with the parts data.
Watch the MA Source Video here
How does it Work?
With the new MA Source™ feature switched on, you'll see the search box beside the asset name in the parts record. Simply start typing the details for the part you're looking for and the search will do the rest. When you find the information you need, click "Auto-complete details using this item" and the information from the MRO network is automatically uploaded into your CMMS. This includes name, description, images, manufacturer, supplier and UNSPSC number. This new approach to equipment and parts entry means you can cut hours, even days off your CMMS set up. By syncing your parts data with the MRO network, you'll know exactly what to get and where to get it. No more wasted time trawling through parts catalogues trying to locate spares.
If your data is already in your CMMS but could do with a clean up, it is also possible to update existing records in the CMMS by clicking the sync icon on the asset record. MA Source™ will search the MRO network for items that closely match what you have in your CMMS. When you find the item, click the "Auto-complete details using this item" button to update the asset record.
Parts Procurement. Lets Look at the Numbers
According to David Berger of Plant Services, a CMMS should deliver a 10-30% reduction of your replacements parts inventory. By using the CMMS to optimize your spares needs, your organization can reduce the amount of capital tied up in on-site replacement inventory. That means a CMMS should help you spend less by holding less stock. But these numbers can be difficult to achieve for small to medium sized business without the resources needed to analyse parts consumption. Traditionally, large enterprises have installed expensive and bloated inventory management and EAM systems to try to analyse consumption data and automate parts procurement, but this not a luxury that most small to medium sized businesses can afford. What if there was a simple solution that could procure parts and materials from directly inside your CMMS?
The Simple Solution
At Maintenance Assistant, we have simplified this process for small to medium sized business with our MA Source™ feature. It allows users to quickly search and procure indirect inventory spares from the worlds leading iMRO parts distributors, directly inside the CMMS. And when you find the part you need, you can sync the information back to your CMMS so you'll know what to order in the future. The new parts procurement feature helps you achieve those savings gains without having to invest ridiculous amounts of time and money in bloated and expensive ERP systems. It also offers a low cost way to offset the risk of downtime.
MA Source™ Tool Bar
MA Source™ also comes with a search toolbar at the top of the CMMS so you can access the functionality without having you go through a parts record. New equipment, parts or supplies can be added to the CMMS in the same way by clicking the add new or update missing information icons on the bottom right hand side of the item.

Kitchen cabinents - sticky gummy mess around handles
I am ashamed to admit it, but my kitchen cabinents have a sticky gummy buildup around the handles. They are solid cherry w/an oil finish -not varnished. They were custom made by the prior owners. When I try to scrub the gunk off, it takes off the finish. How do I get this gunk off without ruining my cabinents?
The short answer is that probably you can't get the gunk off without taking off the finish, because the gunk is a combination of oil from your fingers, kitchen grease, house dust, AND the finish.
You can find lots of products that will take off the gunk, but then you will have to figure out how to touch up the areas around the handles to match the cabinets. You may want to post on the Furniture forum and see what they have to say.
For the cleaning, if I had solid cherry cabinets, I would probably use one of the Formby's products.

Cosmetic Laser Treatments
enjoyingspringMarch 5, 2008
Has any here ever had facial Laser treatments done. If so was the treatment effective, how long did it last, was it painful and lastely what price can be expected.
I had cosmetic laser treatment on the area above my upper lip to reduce lines similar to those that occur when you purse your lips. There was improvement, but it's not possible to totally eliminate these lines. After treatment the skin is red and then becomes somewhat crusty while healing is taking place. It was 2 weeks before I felt comfortable going out in public. All in all, I was happy with the results.

On media convergence, Conservatives need a wake-up call
Bell-Astral deal raises significant consumer, business and cultural questions.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
It's hard to ignore the current debate over Bell's proposed takeover of Astral Media. From journal articles to editorials to advertisements from competitors, there are serious concerns about this major transaction. And with the level of media concentration in Canada already far outstripping that of other G8 countries, the Bell-Astral deal raises significant consumer, business and cultural questions.
A more concentrated media risks weakening Canada's cultural identity by narrowing the number of voices in the media sphere. The market power of large media conglomerates makes it increasingly difficult for new corporate media outlets to compete, thereby reducing the number of choices Canadians have in terms of where they get their news and entertainment, and how much they must pay for it.
And since media owners have considerable influence over what news is heard, what music is played and what cultural content is aired, greater media convergence could reduce access to Canadian artists, quality programming in both official languages, and balanced news from a variety of different perspectives.
This is why all eyes are on the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) as it holds public hearings this week on the potential takeover. As a specialized regulatory organization, which acts independently of government, it is in the best position to evaluate the transaction. However, while the CRTC maintains independence, it does not function in a vacuum. On matters as important as media concentration and convergence, the government should be showing leadership and providing the necessary regulatory framework to protect the public interest. Instead, Industry Minister Christian Paradis has used the CRTC's necessary arms-length status as a crutch to remain silent.
Too often in recent years, the Conservatives — and the Liberals who preceded them — have chosen to sit on their hands while media behemoths devour more and more of the country's media landscape.
The CRTC did adopt certain rules to preserve the "diversity of voices" in 2008, then restricted vertical integration in 2011 to prevent consumers from becoming the first victims of convergence. But these regulations arrived too late.
As it stands, the CRTC's policy is inspired by the banking sector. A transaction like the Bell-Astral deal is only subject to a thorough review if it enables a company to hold 35 per cent of market share. It's only when this figure reaches more than 45 per cent that the transaction is refused. But this one-size-fits-all approach to acquisition policy doesn't work when it comes to the cultural sector. And without adequate regulations, the CRTC has few tools to protect the quantity and quality of original Canadian content in the face of a major media takeover.
The CRTC just released a three-year plan emphasizing a renewed commitment to "ensure that Canadians have access to compelling creative content, from diverse sources, on a variety of platforms . . . that reflects Canada's diversity and enables Canadians to participate in their country's democratic and cultural life." But the question remains: Does it have the teeth to enforce it?
It is up to the government to protect public interest from media concentration and convergence. It's not a matter of being against company mergers in the sector, but of ensuring that the regulatory framework is solid enough to prevent missteps and the leadership from government is strong enough to give it the muscle it requires. The Bell-Astral deal is a further wake-up call to a slumbering government — the time has come to effectively control media convergence.
Andrew Cash, NDP MP for Davenport, is the opposition deputy critic for the Department of Heritage.

What are the forces moving the Minnesota economy? Adam Belz tries to identify the trends and show the connections between Minnesota and the larger U.S. and global economies. You can connect with him on Twitter: @adambelz
Just over a quarter of the way through the decade, Minnesota's economy is creating jobs faster – and in different industries -- than state economists projected in 2010.
For some reason, the ranks of management in Minnesota have swollen in the past three years by 11 percent. That's much faster than projected, with companies and enterprises adding more managers since January 2010 than was predicted for the whole decade.
Food service, hotels, custodial and administrative support have all added jobs four times faster than expected, basically meeting their predicted gains for the decade after only two and a half years.
Not always, but generally, those industries offer lower-paying jobs.
Manufacturing, mining and logging, wholesale and retail trade, professional services and finance and insurance have all added jobs at least twice as fast as projected. Those industries generally provide better-paying jobs.
Overall the state was projected to add 368,000 jobs this decade. So far, Minnesota has added 158,000 positions, about 43 percent progress toward the projection for 2020.
A few industries are growing slower than projected. New jobs in health care are abundant, just as economists predicted. Nearly one in five jobs created in the state between January 2010 and August 2013 was in the health care industry.
But hiring in the health care industry is not keeping pace with projections. Between 2010 and 2020, the state predicted health care would account for 35 percent of all new employment. Almost three years into the decade, and health care has accounted for 18.5 percent of new jobs in the state.
Another sector growing slower than projected has been construction, but only slightly. The only industry to shed jobs between January 2010 and August 2013 was information, which includes newspapers, publishing and broadcasting.
I used two different state data tools (the Employment Outlook and Current Employment Statistics) to create this spreadsheet, in which I sort the industries by comparing actual gains through August with projected gains for the decade. A 25 percent in progress toward the 2020 goal would be right on pace. Most industries are doing better than that, as you can see.
(Data note: I deleted the government categories because it was easier to organize the data that way, which is why if you add up the numbers you won't get a sum that matches the total nonfarm number at bottom. The percentages are still accurate.)
If anyone wants a copy of the spreadsheet to play with or wants to know where to get the data, shoot me an email: firstname.lastname@example.com

Resale Price Maintenance: An Economic Study of the FTC's Case Against Corning Glass Works
The study is intended to help increase understanding of the economic motivation for RPM when the products at issue are relatively simple goods that do not fit the most well-known efficiency rationales for the practice. The study found no evidence of collusion among Corning's dealers...
Vertical Contracts as Strategic Commitments
Recent literature has shown that when retailers cannot observe contracts between a manufacturer and their rivals, the manufacturer will be unable to obtain the vertically integrated profit using two-part tariff contracts alone. It has been suggested that vertical restraints, such as...
Antitrust: Results from the Laboratory
Industrial organization issues that are relevant to antitrust have been studied in the laboratory for over three decades, and the results of this research offer useful insights for applied work in antitrust. Experimental methods provide a means for enhancing our understanding of...
The Antitrust Implications of Entry by Small-Scale Hospitals
Analyses of general acute care hospital mergers have traditionally defined the relevant product market as inpatient medical and surgical acute care and have generally assumed that economies of scale exist at least up to 100 beds. However, an examination of recent entry into...
Telecommunications Bypass and the "Brandon Effect"
The creation of a charge for long distance companies to access the local telephone companies' switched network created the incentive to bypass the local switched network in order to avoid access charges that were substantially above cost. This paper explores the implications of a...
Fight, Fold or Settle?: Modeling the Reaction to FTC Merger Challenges
This paper models the reaction of firms to Federal Trade Commission (FTC) decisions to seek to block proposed horizontal mergers. Finns' responses to the FTC are shown to depend on a number of factors, including the structural merits of the FTC challenge, the efficiencies potentially...
Product Variety and Consumer Search
Previous work on consumer search has shown that consumers facing positive search costs do not sample more than one firm; that is, no search occurs in equilibrium. This result, as well as the price charged, are independent of the magnitude of search costs. I develop a model in which...
An Analysis of Department Store Reference Pricing in Metropolitan Washington
This report presents empirical evidence on the likely consumer injury associated with department store reference pricing, the common pricing strategy in which sale prices are contrasted prominently with regular prices in newspaper advertising. The study concludes that although...
Beyond the Rhetoric: An Inquiry into the Goal of the Sherman Act
The Sherman Antitrust Act is over a century old, yet debate continues about its original goal. Previous authors, focusing on the substance of the 1890 debate, have reached various conclusions about this goal. Instead of concentrating on the congressional debates, this paper examines...
The Minimum Optimal Steel Plant and the Survivor Technique of Cost Estimation
The survivor technique is used to examine economies of scale in the steel industry, and the results are compared to an earlier engineering approach study by Tarr. Specifically the paper focuses on the conventional integrated steel mill of over 1 million tons a year. The results are...
Auctions Under Increasing Costs: Coordination Problems and the Existence of an Asymmetric Equilibrium
This paper models procurement auctions when suppliers face increasing costs. It is shown than an asymmetric equilibrium exists whereby one bidder bids different prices on each project in a series of simultaneous auctions, while its competitor bids the same price on each project. This...
Advertising Restrictions as Rent Increasing Costs
This paper develops more general conditions for identifying when a cost increase may be profitable for incumbent firms. Given those conditions, it then shows that advertising restrictions can act as rent increasing costs and raise the profits of association members. As with previous...
Case Studies of the Price Effects of Horizontal Mergers
The study examines the aftermath of mergers in three industries: titanium dioxide, cement, and corrugated paperboard. The study finds a mixture of results with likely pro-competitive outcomes in cement and paperboard, and a potentially large anti-competitive outcome in titanium...
Market-Share Quotas
Anecdotal evidence reveals that an import quota is not always filled when the quota is specified in terms of a market-share limit instead of a quantity limit. In a simple Cournot duopoly, we provide a theoretical rationale for this outcome. Imposing a market-share quota eliminates...
Antidumping Policy
We examine antidumping policy in a model where a foreign firm is a monopolist in the foreign market, but competes with a native firm in the home market. An antidumping policy changes strategic behavior by giving firms an incentive to manipulate the price differential between home and...
Are Judges Smarter than Economists? Sunk Costs, The Threat of Entry and The Competitive Process
Several recent antitrust cases indicate that courts believe the threat of entry can serve as an effective deterrent to an anticompetitive price increase. Yet there does not exist in the economic literature a general model that explains how entry can be such a threat, given the...
Bondholder Reaction to Increases in Leverage
This paper finds that firms that have substantially increased leverage are more likely to issue convertible debt than firms that have increased leverage only slightly. Also, firms that have substantially decreased leverage are more likely to issue convertible debt than firms that...

Some Antitrust Concerns of Partial Equity Acquisitions

- Description
Jack Daniel's has released a brand new limited edition bottle in celebration of the 120th anniversary of the famous White Rabbit saloon in Lynchburg, Tennessee. The saloon itself was owned by Jack and located in the heart of the town centre in Lynchburg.
This commemorative bottle was released in September because, as everyone knows, the whole month of September is dedicated to Jack Daniel's for his birthday as no one knows the exact date. The bottles themselves are uniquely identified with their own number printed on the black label of each bottle and all are encased in brilliantly looking boxes. They took the display of the box containing the white rabbit to a new level, meaning when you put two of the boxes together, they will form a very decorative picture that is a must have for any collector of Jack Daniel's.

Winter hoop house growing questions....
Hello. I have been been organic gardening for about 6 years now and decided to try a hoop house this winter. We are drinking a lot of green smoothies nowadays and can benefit from having fresh greens grow all winter long. I built a small lean-to last winter where the temps got up to 100 some days because the auto vent failed on me. But sill, our kale plants grew to the top and bent over and we had a great crop. My hoop house this year is directly over my garden and is 12x18x7 so I have a lot more room. I already have kale and chard planted, but I would like to know this late in the season if there is anything else that I can put in there to harvest during the winter months. Anything from seed that will grow fast enough? Or anywhere on the net that I can buy plants to put in there? I know it's very late and everything should have been started a long time ago, but I was just curious. If not, then I guess all I have will be about 40 kale plants and 20 chard which is not a bad thing, just was hoping for some variety since I had the space. Any help or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
You may want to ask this question on the veggie growing forum:
Winter sowing is a completely different "thing" than you are doing, I don't know if this group would be as helpful to you!
Also check out the forum for your growing region/state. I bet there are other hoop house growers there.

Breaking News
German odometer scam hits millions
- From: AAP
- June 30, 2014
NEARLY a third of all second-hand cars sold in Germany have been rigged by unscrupulous dealers, who wind back the odometers and trick customers into paying more for alleged low-mileage examples, a report claims.
GERMANY'S ADAC car club warns that private buyers are most likely to be hit by the fraudulent practice, which is often difficult to detect, especially if service documents have also been forged.The club said cars made from 2000 onwards, when mechanical odometers were phased out in favour of digital versions, were particularly prone to manipulation. Devices for resetting a car's mileage could now be bought for the equivalent of less than $US10,000 ($A10,820) and the fraud carried out within the space of 30 seconds, said the ADAC. Cheaper copies from China of the equipment were offered for sale at a fraction of that price. The warning comes as a dealer went on trial in Munich for allegedly tampering with the odometers of dozens of high-mileage Italian luxury cars. Prosecutors said the man bought the cars cheaply and sold them at a premium to unwitting customers. Among the brazen cases cited by the ADAC in Germany, where millions of second-hand cars change hands annually, was another case in Munich in 2011. A car was seized by police after it turned out that the dealer had rewound the true mileage of 700,000 kilometres back to 150,000 kilometres. Under German law, dealers have to take back a "clocked" car and refund the sale price only if the buyer can prove that it was deliberately tampered with. ADAC experts advised customers to examine a second-hand car carefully if the claimed mileage appears not to match the general condition. Telltale signs of high mileage include thoroughly worn seats and rubber mats.

2006 Chevrolet Cobalt
steering Problems
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2006 Cobalt continued to carry the torch first lit by the 2005 model year. To be clear, that torch is burning bright with widespread power steering issues, electrical curiosities and a dangerous ignition switch defect which led to a massive recall by GM. This isn't a great torch to carry.
The 2006 added it's own special flare with gas leaks due to cracks in the "return portion of the modular reservoir assembly." A recall of 2006 Cobalts was issued to fix the problem, but only to vehicles sold in or current registered in Arizona and Nevada, leaving other owners to pay for repairs themselves.
Between this car stalling while driving, giving owners fits with power steering failure and having it be a potential tinderbox because of gas leaks, we felt we had no other option than to award it our "Avoid Like the Plague" badge.

Senator John McCain has been deemed "Ready to Lead" in his online ads, and now he's ready to call his Democratic rival SenatorBarack Obama...er...un-ready. According to The Media Trust Company, McCain's camp dropped two new display ads yesterday, just in time for Obama's much-anticipated Mile High acceptance speech last night.
He's also touting his experience in search ads. A search for "McCain" turns up this ad: "No On The Job Training Needed Help Elect John McCain."

"I recently made a purchase from this website and was 100% disappointed with it! I thought personalized wine bottles would be a cute gift for the bachelorette party I was planning, so I placed a small order. A couple hours after it was placed, someone from the company called me to tell me there was a problem viewing the picture I uploaded. I replied back via email (as requested) with an attachment of the picture. A week goes by without me hearing anything from them, so I assumed everything was okay...I received my order, and it was NOT what I ordered!! I tried getting a hold of customer service a few times with no response, and when I finally did, I was told I would have to pay a rushed shipping fee to get it to me by the time I would need it? I asked for a full refund!!! Too bad by order was small and apparently not worth their time or the effort it would take to correct a customer service mistake, because it would've made an awesome gift - I just picked the wrong company to order form."
"A little disappointed in the quality of the colors."
"Excellent -- fast and accurate service. The web site is a little hard to deal with. But, other than that, I would continue to use BYB."
"I enjoyed the easy to use design tools. The labels were delivered fast. The quality was top notch with a nice matte finish. Now our home brew and wine looks store bought. "
"Nice and quick. I will use them again"
"This was my 5th or 6th order with you. Very easy to make my order on line, quick shipping, good quality."
"They turned out awesome thank you."
"Very good experience. The labels arrived sooner than expected and as usual of a high, professional quality."
"Awesome Product, requiring a review tho. They won't stop emailing me. Seems to be the only negative. "
"great, as usual. thanks again"
"The order came in quickly and was perfect. "
"The ordering process was fine, no problems."
"The labels were high quality. I really liked that I could put any font text in any location on the label. They are sticking very well.
The labels were more difficult to peel, since they were cut individually instead of several per sheet.
I will definitely order again."
"Fun product. Everyone LOVED their water bottles. Great addition to our party!!!"
"Great process, great product, fast delivery!"

Fox Picks Up Action Spec for Davis Entertainment (Exclusive)
John Davis is attached to produce the project from writer Robert Lynn.
Fox has picked up an untitled action spec from scribe Robert Lynn. John Davis is attached to produce via his Fox-based Davis Entertainment banner.
The logline is being (frustratingly) kept under wraps.
Ira Napoliello will oversee the project for Davis Entertainment. Jason Young will oversee the project for Fox.
Davis produced Chronicle, the surprise hit released earlier this year that proved to be trampolines for actor Dane DeHaan and director Josh Trank. Other recent credits include Mr. Popper's Penguins and Gulliver's Travels.
Lynn last year wrote The Envoy, which was acquired by Warner Bros. with Silver Pictures producing. That script followed a diplomatic courier who finds that the package he's carrying contains plans for a terrorist attack.
He is repped by UTA, Kaplane/Perrone Entertainment and attorney Owen Seitel.

local branding
Posted by Dale Buss on September 5, 2012 06:06 PM
One way McDonald's plans to keep on growing around the globe is to open itself increasingly to local tastes rather than simply trying to impose the Big Mac on every national market, which is how the chain started out. Interestingly, however, just as McDonald's is making such a move in India with new vegetarian restaurants, it's being tripped up by a matter of cultural sensitivity just a few hundred miles from McDonald's Chicago headquarters in the good ol' U.S. of A.
It seems that billboards in St. Paul touted McDonald's breakfast offerings in Hmong, the indigenous language of Hmong-Americans who comprise a major enclave of 64,000 people in the Twin Cities. The billboards put up by local franchisees — the first time McDonald's has ever advertised to Asia's Hmong community in the U.S. — were supposed to say, "Coffee Gets You Up, Breakfast Gets You Going."
But thanks to a garbled translation from English to Hmong, the text reads as gobbledygook to the Hmong-American population. McDonald's apologized for the error and set about to correct it immediately. Overseas, meanwhile, McDonald's newest culturally relevant move outside the U.S. — bringing vegetarian-only fare to some restaurants in India next year — is one of the biggest efforts by McDonald's in accommodating its brand to consumers outside its home U.S. market, and also inadvertently stepping on some toes.Continue reading...

The sea to the west of the barriers is the North Sea and to the East is Scapa Flow.
Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights. In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states. Text by Steve Smith.

help with my kava plant
deanna12061979March 19, 2013
I ordered a kava plant that was shipped to me about a month ago and when it arrived the leaves were green. Now the leaves are all turning brown. What could this be? I left it in the soil it was shipped in and put it in a larger pot and added more soil. I really want this to thrive. Any help is appreciated.

Australian pine as bonsai?
I'm new to bonsai, but I thought I'd give it a try with some cheap/free materials. I went out to the beach and pulled a few Australian Pine saplings out of the ground. Most of them had a very long taproot, but one had only roots that went out to the side, and not down (must have been right on top of concrete). I shaped it a bit, washed the roots of soil and put it in a shallow pot with perlite as the medium. It has been living for almost 2 months, and growing happily. I think it will make a fine specimen as long as it gets enough sun and water. Since they're a legume, they have nitrogen fixing bacteria on the roots, and can live in very poor soil. I still fertilize once every week or 2 though. How well do you guys think this will work? I thought that since they're so invasive here, it'd be easy to get one to grow, and since they grow so fast, it'll make a nice specimen quite quickly.
I also acquired an austrailian pine for the same purpose, the owner of the property was happy to let me try and dig one up.
The woody parts of these trees becomes very rigid, very fast,and I have only read about bonsai successfully.
My actual plant trials have...just survived my uneducated toilings.
The roots of my 'pine' were very easy to clean and separate. Pruning wasn't too bad, but I am afraid the woody parts will be my eventual problem. It's hard to shape something so rigid, and I just wanted to make sure I could keep it alive before toiling somemore...
For staring with a sapling, I don't know how much to push the pot, soil, pruning issues. Hopefully someone can answer your questions, because I am interested in them as well

Doomsday prophets will again have a field day forecasting an Apocalypse, following the eruption of Mt. Etna in Italy on Tuesday.
The eruption provided a spectacular fireworks display that was caused by Europe's tallest volcano spewing out hot lava and gas toward the sky.
Klaus Dorchfeldt, videographer and webmaster of Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology caught the eruption on video.
The volcano had exhibited restive signs the past few weeks and on Jan 22, lava and strong flashes were observed at its New Southeast Crater, seen clearly from the Sicilian foothills. Its Bocca Nuova Crater also erupted in 2011 for 10 days, from Jan 10 to 20.
Mr Dorschfeldt was on a volcano watch since he was aware that Mt Etna's recent signals are indicators of new activity.
"I've followed the activity of Etna for many years, and with time you learn to know it as if it were your friend . . . Following it constantly you learn to be a keen observe and a minor change can lead to something important," OurAmazingPlanet quoted Mr Dorschfeldt.
He observed three paroxysmal eruptive episodes in less than 36 hours. He warned that while the local population has no immediate danger from lava flows, air travelers could be affected by the ash plume.
The volcanic eruption would likely be tied up to recent end-of-the-world scenarios being theorised following several events such as the meteor shower last week in Russia, the near hit of an asteroid and even religious events such as the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, said to be the precedent for an end-times pope.
Experts, however, pointed out that super-eruptions are very rare, and the odds that one will happen in our lifetimes is very, very small. Based on research, taking into account the full span of the earth's geologic history, chances of a super-eruption is on the average once every 700,000 years, geologists said.
Drew Shindell, climate scientist at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, said there is absolutely no sign of a super-eruption hovering anytime soon.
"There has been only on super-eruption in more than 100,000 years, so odds are miniscule for either near-future or within our lifetime," OurAmazingPlanet quoted Mr Shindell.

Male Perverts Granted Access to High School Girls' Locker Rooms
The triumph of moonbattery makes the Age of Hope & Change a great time to be a pervert. From Los Angeles:
One of the largest public charter high schools in the nation allows a boy who identifies as female to use the girls locker room and bathrooms — despite protests from a female student who says she feels uncomfortable and vulnerable by his presence.
What's more, the female student — who just finished her sophomore year at the Los Angeles-based Granada Hills Charter High School — claims the boy in question harassed her, touched her hair, stared strangely at her, and also peeked at girls over the stalls while they used the toilet.
"It's amazing to me that a public school who is responsible to protect the rights of all students will blatantly ignore the Constitutional right to privacy of young female students within the locker rooms and restrooms of the school," Robert Tyler, the girl's attorney, told The College Fix.
That's what they get for being normal. Political correctness dictates that normal people don't deserve rights, because they are oppressors of the sacred castes, prominent among which are perverts.
It will get worse before it gets better in the Land of Fruits and Nuts.
The California Assembly (same as House of Representatives in most states) passed Assembly Bill 1266 by a 46-25 vote. …
AB 1266 states that public schools cannot discriminate in any way concerning the sex of the student.
Sounds nice, since we all know that to "discriminate" is the ultimate sin. But if you swallow that, you have to swallow this:
Section 221.5 of the Education Code is amended to read: …
A pupil shall be permitted to participate in sex-segregated school programs and activities, including athletic teams and competitions, and use facilities consistent with his or her gender identity, irrespective of the gender listed on the pupil's records.
This means that horny adolescent boys no longer need to drill holes in the wall to the girls' shower, as in the movie Porky's. They can just proclaim themselves to be female at heart and march right in, boners a'bobbing.
The liberal campaign against decency will continue its blitzkrieg until it encounters meaningful resistance — which is no longer possible in California, as the demographic transformation of the state by massive Third World immigration has ensured an unbreakable Democrat stranglehold. All 46 votes for this depraved bill were by Democrats.
As goes California, so goes the nation, just as soon as Chuck Schumer and his RINO collaborators can ram amnesty home.
