US: Snyder's-Lance hails Snack Factory cash, brand power
By Chris Mercer | 7 September 2012
US snack group Snyder's-Lance has said its acquisition of Snack Factory for US$340m will significantly boost sales, cash flow and profit margins.
Snyder's-Lance, which has agreed to purchase Snack Factory from private-equity firm VMG Partners, said that the firm's Pretzel Crisps range will become an "immediate core brand in our portfolio".
Carl Lee, Snyder-Lance's president and COO, told analysts on a conference call that Pretzel Crisps has high growth potential. "We believe there is significant growth on the horizon" he said. "Over the last three years, sales almost tripled and they're growing even faster over the past 12 months."
At the same time, Snack Factory's level of penetration will enable Snyder's-Lance to expand the reach of its existing brands, like Cape Cod and Archway.
At the bottom line, Snyder's-Lance CEO David Singer said Snack Factory has an "unusually strong free cashflow", which will improve the firm's profitability.
He said the acquisition is consistent with the company's strategy to develop and acquire national, premium brands in the US, as outlined in February this year. Many analysts were enthusiastic about the deal. "Snyder's-Lance is paying approximately 9.5 times [Snack Factory forward earnings], which seems reasonable given strong sales growth and cash flow generation, ample runway for continued strong sales gains, and a lofty margin structure," said Heather Jones, analyst at BB&T Capital Markets. "Cost synergies are fairly limited, but the sales synergy opportunity is sizable, in our view," she said in a note yesterday (6 September).
BB&T raised is earnings per share forecast for Snyder-Lance to $0.96 from $0.94 for 2012, and to $1.34 from $1.25 for 2013.
"It is unlikely that Snack Factory will continue to generate 30%+ sales growth, but we believe 15-20% is feasible over the next few years," Jones added.

my son has a bad infection right now, and if we could retract the skin we could clean it properly so we are stuck. the whole looks very small , even though it seems like the skin has separated from the head- we cant pull the skin back at all. any thoughts?
What makes you think he has an infection?
It is perfectly normal for the foreskin to be non-retractable till puberty. The age at which boys become retractable varies greatly.
More cleaning doesn't prevent infections, it actually causes them. Just as women who clean inside their vaginas with soap get more infections, men who clean under the foreskin with soap get more infections. The genitals naturally have a certain Ph and flora balance that gets disrupted by over cleaning.
Has your ds had a culture done to prove infection or are they just going by symptoms because infection and separation can look a lot alike especially to Drs who have little to no knowledge of the normal development of the intact penis.
You cannot tell by looking how small or large that hole is since it changes size all the time. It is a sphincter like the anus and clamps down when not in use to keep stuff out. If someone is messing with it it will clamp down to protect the boy unless he is fully retractable.
SAHMlovin' to DD 10/00 & DS 10/04 If your son is intact, keep him safe, visit the Intact Care forum Circ, a personal choice, Your SONS 11/98 6/99 Thyroid cancer survivor. With 5 & 2 Boxers wishing for
they did a urine culture at the emergency room last night, it is definitely an infection, his whole penis is swollen to about 3 times the size and he is in so much pain when he pees, and walks. i have to go for a follow up with a urologist next week, i am worried to hear what they recommend, but this infection is very scary.
Having been where you are I can totally sympathize it sucks, I went through so many emotions even for a few minutes doubting myself for leaving him intact then I reminded myself about dd going through a very similar thing with a nasty yeast infection and how ds had he been circed he would always have that very important part missing from his life. It is very easy to doubt yourself when everyone around you is telling you that if he was circed this wouldnt be a problem which just isnt so.
You can about bet they will give you the circ speech since the vast majority of Dr. here in the USA know nothing about the intact penis other than how to circ it. He may talk to you about steroid cream but that should only be used by a boy in puberty or adulthood because it might work to make him retract in the short term once you stop using it his body will go back to its natural non retractile state since it isnt ready to retract yet.
I am sorry your ds has went through this
You just have to keep repeating to yourself that these things happen to both boys and girls and they get better and move on. Just like when they get sick it is part of growing up. Your ds could have had the same infection had he been circed so being intact isnt the problem here.
My older brother was circed at 3yo he got an infection just like my ds and your ds but my mom was told by the Dr. it would happen again even though the abx they gave hm fixed it my mom went ahead with the circ. Because of that my brother suffered far worse with the unneeded circ than he ever did with that infection. Stories like this are the reason being intact was given a bad name.
Protect your ds dont let them cut on him for something that can easily be fixed with abx.
I wanted to ask has your ds been retracted by anyone in the past before this happened? Did anything unusual happen leading up to this incident ie a long car ride or swimming in a pool? It honestly is unusual for an infection to happen and usually a cause can be found like with my ds dirty hands = bacterial infection.
Good luck to you and remember if this was your dd with a bad infection you wouldnt consider cutting on her so your ds should be viewed in the same way.
Sorry I rambled on and on there but it is so hard to put thoughts into words for me sometimes and I always fear I will miss saying something that would help. and it scares me to think that you might consider circing your ds for this when I know that infection dosnt = circ.

If a urine culture comes back positive, that means UTI, not foreskin infection. To confirm foreskin infection, the outside of the foreskin should be swabbed. Premature forcible retracting can actually cause UTIs.
Did the swelling start after the ER visit? Did he have a catheter? Was he forcibly retracted to place the cath? The swelling could be from that if he was. In which case he just needs to heal.
If the swelling started before you went to the ER, I would wonder if some one has been trying to retract him. Does anyone other than you change his diapers or bath him?

Their apps are generally tied into various movies and T.V. shows. While the shows and movies are usually good, the apps sometimes lack a whole lot. There is one game that was released in the last 30 days that we weren't to sure about at first. That was until we read that Angry Mob Games was actually behind the title. Those guys have brought some real winners to the table like Guerrilla Bob and Muffin Knight. At launch the game came in at $2.99 and sold quite well, clearing 10,000 downloads in under 30 days. User comments put it in a top of its class style game with visuals and controls that are superb. After taking a look at gameplay video sure made us want the game even more. Boy oh boy would I love to be a Predator. Not that I am a crazy killer or anything, but those guys are pretty wicked. In the game you take on the role of a Predator on the game reserve after the nine most deadliest killers from earth. Using stealth, alien technology and various tactics to collect their heads as trophies of your kills. The game is loaded full of the coolest gadgets that the real Predators used. Like your cloaking ability, thermal vision, razor whip, long-range cannons and much more. All while covering 31 intense and hostile alien environments. Predators is even optimized for Xperia Play and NVIDIA Tegra chipped devices too. All in all, a must have game for fans of the movies and gamers a like. At $2.99 it was well worth picking up, at $0.99 it is a must have. They don't mention if this is a new permanent price or just a sale on the game, so don't delay and pick it up for a buck while you still can. Just click or scan the QR code below to snag it today.

Oscars Red Carpet: Where's the Bling?
Oscars Red Carpet: Where's the Bling?
by Fashion
Like us on Facebook
The Oscars is the biggest event of the year in Hollywood. The time where everyone pulls out all the stops: the gowns, the hair, the makeup, the jewelry... but wait, this year, where was all the jewelry? One trend I noticed was bare necks on the red carpet and it almost made these women look like they were missing something. I love seeing what jewels people wear just as much as I love to see which designer dress they are wearing; so I have to ask, where was all the bling?

I think that reese could have worn a really sparkly necklace and got away with it- although she looked amazing anyway.
kscincotta 8 years
I'm with the majority of you ladies - I think a bare neckline looks very fresh and pretty. I love the move towards earrings and no necklaces, esp since it lets the bodice of the dress take center stage.
Marci 8 years
I like the bare neck for a change.
DarlingDA 8 years
I think most of these dresses didn't need the necklace (especially Reese with all that long hair). I think they made the right choice to keep it classy and understated, especially Helen Mirren

I think everyone was going for the old Hollywood look. Simple and elegant. It's nice to not see everyone dripping in bling for a change. Who am I kidding, I love bling!
zeldaf 8 years
I like the move toward clean necklines and big earrings. In most of these cases I think necklaces would've been overkill with all the hair and makeup working as an accessory too.
mom2 8 years
reese looks so good
crispet1 8 years
I think Reese is the only one who couldve done better with a necklace. Many of the other gowns are already sparkly/metallic and a necklace (in addition to the earrings) would be too much. But Reese looks so great I dont notice the bare neckline as a negative.

22 year old actress Q'orianka Kilcher climbs from a makeshift platform on the anchor chain of the "Clipper Hope" cargo ship and returns to the Greenpeace ship "Rainbow Warrior" near the port of São Luis do Maranhão, Brazil. The seven day protest is currently stopping the ship from loading pig iron which is a key ingredient in the steel making process. Greenpeace research has linked this commodity to rainforest destruction, slave labor and the invasion of indigenous land.

There is no official definition of underinflated against which to write citations, so the cops have historically been sort of making it up as they go along -- more than 30,000 tickets written on a regulation that has been proven impossible to determine.

Why should we worry about defining underinflation? Because of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's CSA (Compliance, Safety, Accountability) enforcement program.

For Sales Operations Analysts, annual average wages total $56K per year. Total cash earnings of Sales Operations Analysts range from $42K on the low end to $80K on the high end; the final amount can include bonuses and profit sharing proceeds that occasionally exceed $9K and $10K, respectively. Location and career duration each impact pay for this group, with the former having the largest influence. Job satisfaction is high and work is enjoyable for most Sales Operations Analysts. Men make up a slight majority of Sales Operations Analysts (56 percent) who responded to the survey. Medical and dental benefits are awarded to almost all, and a fair number earn vision coverage. Respondents to the PayScale salary survey provided the data for this report.

The sales operations analyst helps drive sales growth by identifying areas for expansion and improvement. They use methods such as analyzing key metrics; coordinating with sales, accounting and marketing teams to develop and implement solutions; and coordinating with local, regional, national, and global sales teams to ensure sales goals are met in a timely fashion and in compliance with best practices and relevant regulations. They also create reports based on their analysis of sales data and present that data to others in their organization, including management. The sales operation analyst may also be called upon to communicate with clients in person, through email, and over the phone to create and build sales relationships.Read More...
The sales operations analyst generally works in a high-intensity environment in which they are responsible for several concurrent tasks, which makes the ability to multitask and solve problems quickly important. Attention to detail and meet deadlines are also needed. The analyst must also be proficient with basic computer software. Sales operations analysts generally work during normal business hours in an office environment.
Most employers typically require prospective sales operation analysts to possess at least a bachelor's degree in business administration, finance, or a related field. In addition, many employers require applicants have experience working in a sales operations environment.
Overall, survey participants reported applying a fair number of skills to their work. Most notably, skills in Business Analysis, Forecasting, Database Management & Reporting, and Customer Relationship Management are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 6 percent and 10 percent. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include Customer Service. The majority of those who know Data Analysis also know Salesforce and Customer Relationship Management (CRM).
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Those in the early stages of their career can expect to make around $55K; however, individuals with five to 10 years of experience bring in $65K on average — a distinctly larger sum. Sales Operations Analysts see a median salary of $72K after reaching one to two decades on the job. Sales Operations Analysts who claim more than two decades of experience actually make somewhat smaller average paychecks of $65K.
San Francisco is home to an above-average pay rate for Sales Operations Analysts, 21 percent higher than the national average. Sales Operations Analysts will also find cushy salaries in San Jose (+19 percent), Dallas (+11 percent), New York (+8 percent), and Mountain View (+8 percent). Sales Operations Analysts in Nashville earn salaries far below the national average by 28 percent, proving that geography overwhelmingly affects the pay scale for those in this field. A couple other locations with smaller-than-average paychecks include Atlanta and Seattle (12 percent lower).

A preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference made to the accompanying drawings, in which:
The prescription controlling the loading device 80 in terms of its filling action is adapted to be delivered, along with a patient's identification data, by way of a communication network, such as the internet 65 or a chip card 68, to a computer 67 controlling operation of the loading device 80. Alternatively, the prescription can be delivered conventionally on a paper printout, from which the necessary information is transferred by typing to the computer 67 controlling the dosage.
The cartridges 20, 40 are adapted to be disengaged from the dispensing device 35 and to be transferred to the loading device 80 for filling or loading the dosage compartments 27, 47 of a cartridge with desired doses of medication. In addition, the mechanism 73 associated with the loading device 80 furnishes the loaded cartridge 20 with identification data ID, on the basis of which the loaded or filled cartridge 20, 40 can be certifiably returned to the correct dispensing device 35.
The dispensing device 35 has its program electronics 19 re-programmable with an external programming unit. In the depicted case, the external programming unit comprises a mobile telephone 36, whereby a dispensing program or its updatings can be fed to the program electronics 19 by way of an IR link 37, 38 shown in
The cartridge 20, 40 can be furnished with identification data, e.g. by attaching to the cartridge an identification-data carrying label ID by means of the mechanism 73. Optionally or additionally, the identification can be certified.
The following description deals in more detail with the dispensing device shown in
The cartridge 20 comprises preferably a transparent machine-washable plastic manufactured in food-grade plastics. The cartridge is provided with 28 dosage compartments 27 for tablets. The cartridges 20 are interchangeable between various dispensing devices. The cartridge has its central hole 24 provided with a gear rim 18 b, which supplies the cartridge with its rotary drive from a gearwheel 18 a of the motor 18 placed in the central hollow of the housing 10 (the necessary gear between the motor 18 and the gearwheel 18 a has not been shown).
The housing 10 is manufactured in transparent plastics e.g. as a plastic extrudate. Consequently, a prescription or an identification tag ID, attached to the bottom of the cartridge 20, is visible as required through a transparent floor 21 of the housing 10. Through a rim collar 13 of the housing it is possible to visually observe medications remaining in the dosage compartments 27 of a cartridge (even in the case that the shell portion is non-transparent).
An electronics unit 55 is disposed inside a cylindrical central hollow 11 within the housing 10. The electronics unit is provided with a memory-equipped, programmable processor 19, which can be programmed with four daily times for medication by means of key buttons 56 or an IR link 37, 38 included in the unit 55. In addition, the program takes care of necessary safety times and delay times, as well as a deadline for the ingestion of a dose. The IR link 37, 38, included in the unit 55, along with the GSM module 62, serving as an accessory, enables a telecontrol over medication and eventual alarms regarding malfunctions. Hence, the program takes care of the specification-compliant function of a dispensing device and, merely by modifying the program, it is possible to develop various versions of a dispensing device. Naturally, the IR link can be replaced with an RF link or other links operating in compliance with standards.
A floor panel 29, having a hole 29 a for the operation of an IR link, encloses the housing hollow 11 which has space also for a sound signal device 75 and a battery.
The motor 18 comprises e.g. a stepped motor, which activates its operation upon pressing down the push button 3 as pins 3 a depress the programming keys 56 of the electronics unit 55. However, this activation only occurs after the signaling device 75, 76 has been activated under the control of program electronics 19, 55. Every time the elements 18, 18 a operating the cartridge 20 are activated, the information about a dispensing occurrence is transmitted to a distant control file, which comprises e.g. a www-page in the internet and which constitutes a monitoring log for taking the medication. Optionally, a memory associated with the program electronics 19, 55 is used to collect information about dispensing occurrences and to transmit the same at prescribed times to said control file.
Thus, the electronics unit 55 included in the dispensing device is programmable either by a patient him- or herself or by medical personnel (keys 56) or by means of the computer 66 or utilizing an IR link 138 in the programming device 101 or 102, or in the GSM telephone. According to its programming, the dosage dispenser electronics 19, 55, 75, outputs a signal to the user whenever it is time for medication and prevents the ingestion of any dose of medication other than the one to be taken at that precise time.
As the dosage cartridges 20 containing doses of medication are carried independently of a dispensing device from the loading device 80 to the dispensing device 35, the dosage cartridge 20 must be provided with a cover 28. This cover 20 may be a rotatable cover of thin transparent plastics, which is provided by a loading opening 28 a (
As shown in
The jacket or shell portion 2 has a bottom edge which can be locked with an appropriate forming to the top edge of an outer housing rim 13. In view of switching the cartridges 20, there must be an engagement between the jacket 2 and the housing 10 which is readily disconnectable and reconnectable (if necessary, also lockable). This can be implemented e.g. by forming the opposing edges with a combination of short threading and bayonet coupling. A lock cylinder may be placed inside the protrusion 69.
As shown in
As can be learned from the above description the invention serves an advanced logistics for delivering medicines from dispensary to the users (patients) and for efficient monitoring of appropriate use or disposition of the medicines.

Despite the fact that the American Psychiatric Association put forth a resolution in 2009 stating that "there is insufficient evidence that sexual orientation change efforts work," there are still numerous facilities and therapists that claim they can "cure" homosexuality. It breaks my heart and makes me angry, in equal measure, when I hear about teens being sent off to so-called conversion therapy camps. To put it plainly, I find the notion that GLBTQ people can/need to be "fixed" is simply horrifying. I recognize that some people's religious views are the reason they don't condone homosexuality, but I reject the implication that one's religious beliefs can or should be forced upon anyone else. Though some some places [California, New Jersey, Oregon, and Washington D.C.] have passed laws banning conversion therapy for minors, I am appalled that so many states haven't stepped up. Hopefully, books like The Summer I Wasn't Me and The Miseducation of Cameron Post can help to open people's eyes and to bring about further change. Continue reading

Skylight presents intimate take on 'Porgy & Bess'
In the summer of 1926, George Gershwin returned home from rehearsals for a new musical. Wired and needing to clear his head, he picked up a recent bestselling novel as bedtime reading. He didn't put it down until he had finished it the following morning. The novel was DuBose Heyward's "Porgy."
In "The Life and Times of Porgy and Bess: The Story of an American Classic," Hollis Alpert describes what happened next: Gershwin was so excited "by the story and its author's apparent musical sensitivity" that he immediately wrote Heyward and suggested they collaborate on an opera. Nine years later, it made a now-legendary Broadway debut as "Porgy and Bess." »Read Full Article(1)

Capucci pour Homme by Roberto Capucci
Bon giorno! This evokes an Italian bakeshop or sidewalk trattoria. Pungent sweet orange and mulled cider with rich spices and a great masculine base of coffee, leather, patchouli. That sweetness punches through the dark basenotes to make this a refreshing and charismatic fragrance. Last 6+ hours on skin.
