This article is part of PharmTech's supplement "2010 Outsourcing Resources."
Participants in the roundtable include: Scott Jenkins, business unit manager, manufacturing, global pharmaceutical operations, Abbott (Abbott Park, IL); Colleen Dixon, manager, Project Management Office, Baxter's BioPharma Solutions business (Bloomington, Indiana); Michael Kosko, president, Pfizer CentreSource (Kalamazoo, MI); Jochen Alberstetter, vice-president, project management/supply- chain management, Vetter Pharma-Fertigung GmbH & Co. KG (Ravensburg, Germany).Outlining evaluations and expectations
PharmTech» Criteria such as on-time delivery and making product in specification have historically been and continue to be important elements in evaluating supplier performance. What methodologies do you use to evaluate your company's performance in this respect? How have sponsor companies' expectations changed in terms of delivery points and how they measure those criteria?
»Jenkins (Abbott): It is crucial to have a management-reporting process in place that drives a company to forecast, plan, execute and report on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual basis. This process may involve key meetings and reports and address performance indicators that drive the business. Having a set process in place allows for transparency of information and ensures that the operation is focused on the right factors: cost, compliance, customer service, and continuous improvement (what we call the "four Cs").
Several years ago, Abbott set out to become best in class from an operational-excellence standpoint. As part of our certification process, we established a methodology to ensure we could meet customers' demands within a specified window. Class-A performance means being able to achieve delivery success within a designated window of performance at least 95% of the time. As part of our process, if we step outside of this window—regardless of the reason—we perform a root-cause problem-solve (RCPS) analysis with cross-functional subject matter experts (SMEs) within our organization to understand exactly why we missed the delivery. We then implement a sustainable improvement to ensure that the cause of the misstep won't reoccur.
»Dixon (Baxter): Performance-evaluation methods are a crucial element of achieving optimal results in contract manufacturing. A true partnership must serve the needs of both the supplier and the customer, so we make every effort to carefully evaluate and measure performance, striving to meet or exceed our collective goals. This approach begins with an upfront discussion at the kickoff of a project to establish key success factors and the associated metrics to be measured throughout the project, and agreement on how the metrics will be calculated and the frequency at which they will be reviewed.
We have spent a considerable amount of energy and resources on mapping the customer experience and learning and asking which data points and associated metrics are important to our clients as a project moves from start-up to product release. To support each client's needs, our applications are designed to tailor metrics. We recognize that there are differences in how clients want metrics calculated and how they will use the data. Another component of our customer-experience strategy has been to harmonize the way we calculate and use metrics across our global facilities to ensure a common understanding of the data and how to apply the data. In addition, we use detailed, customized training programs for our project teams to make sure they understand the importance of data integrity, monitoring, tracking, and reporting. By providing clear definitions and technology investment, the client and project team together gain a heightened sense of transparency and control.
Fundamentally, our client expectations for evaluating supplier performance have not changed. A few of the common key performance indicators (KPIs) requested by clients include on-time delivery, saleable yield, exceptions, incident rates, and schedule accuracy. Other metrics such as measures of client satisfaction and mutual financial accountability, are also important to ensure a holistic approach to the partnership.
We have noticed a heightened interest in maintaining control over projects as well as a clearer understanding of potential variables and anticipated challenges. Because many clients use a combination of in-house manufacturing and outsourcing strategies, a major driver for customized metrics has become the comparison of internal manufacturing versus outsourced performance and, ultimately, long-term value. In the upfront evaluation process, clients are interested in understanding our approach to project management, data comparisons, qualification of teams, and metrics tracking as a means of supplier research and assessment. Thanks to our integrated systems, we can share the seamless approach we have to data during every step of the process.
»Kosko (Pfizer): A number of Pfizer CentreSource (PCS) customers use scorecards that are reviewed on a quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis. Many of these components are based on the Assurance of Supply/Regulatory Compliance, Quality, Service, Cost and Innovation (AQSCI) Pyramid for rating suppliers.
The base of the pyramid and its most important component is assurance of supply and regulatory compliance. This component reflects the minimum requirement for any company that supplies the pharmaceutical industry. While consistently meeting the specifications of a client is a prerequisite, companies can differentiate themselves by the services that they extend to their clients, including:
Although cost is always a factor, it is typically not the most crucial factor in a supply relationship. A producer's ability to be innovative is always valued by customers, but that ability needs to be closely coordinated due to the potential impact on regulatory filings.
»Alberstetter (Vetter): Vetter manufactures based on customer demand. We measure our deliveries using the KPI Customer Service Level (CSL) with respect to "on-time-in-full." This measurement is performed monthly and shared within the company as well as with the customers. To achieve the preset targets, we make use of SAP (an enterprise-resource planning system) and respective management tools. These tools are part of the Oliver Wight-based operational excellence procedures [Oliver Wright is an international business improvement specialist] that have been in place at Vetter for five years.

We've asked our media lords what they're thankful for, and they actually responded. First up, NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams:
I am thankful for chewy Cherry-Mint-flavored Tamiflu.
Times Op-Ed diva and man-lover Maureen Dowd's thankful desperation:
I'm thankful that my book tour is almost over; otherwise I'd have to plunge a steak knife through my heart.
And the rehabbed thoughts of Oprah's Book Club star James Frey:
I'm thankful for my wife; my little girl — she makes me laugh, smile, breaks my heart every day; I'm thankful for Oprah's generosity; for my friends, for the improvements shown by the Cleveland Indians, Browns and Cavaliers. I'm thankful for my new mink coat, my old truck that still runs, my doggies my doggies. I'm thankful for Fresh Direct, for Babbo, for the new Taco Bell on Chambers St. I'm thankful for my bike, though not I'm not thankful for the asshole who stole my tire and my seat.

Malaysia Malls Splurge on Christmas
Shopping malls in tropical Malaysia have spared no expense on decorations this Christmas, splurging heavily in a beauty arms race to attract shoppers and their cash.
One mall operator has taken to installing snow machines while another put up a 20-foot teddy bear. Millions of foreigners visit Malaysia, a country where it's summer all year round and home to two of the world's 10 largest malls.
Tourism is the second-largest foreign exchange earner for the Southeast Asian economy, generating as much as 60.6 billion ringgit ($18.4 billion) in tourist receipts last year, according to data from the country's tourism ministry. For the first nine months, tourist arrivals rose 3.3%, to 18.8 million tourists from a year earlier.
"Decoration planning is a little different this year because there are several festivals that are quite close to each other," Kenny Wong, a director of WCT Holdings Bhd which owns the Paradigm Mall in the Selangor state, told The Wall Street Journal.
Lunar New Year, a public holiday in Malaysia and celebrated by ethnic Chinese, falls on Jan. 31 in 2014, instead of Feb. 10 this year.
Paradigm Mall has invested about 800,000 ringgit to install hundreds of teddy bears.
"You can never be wrong with teddy bears," Mr. Wong said.
For 1 Utama Shopping Centre, the world's fourth-largest shopping mall by gross leasable area according to building data provider Emporis, Christmas decoration and promotion expenditure has surged one-third this year, with such decorations as hot air balloons, rocking horses and sleigh wagons.
"This is because all the hot-air balloons were made locally using a special material and filled with helium gas," said Patrick So, advertising and promotions general manager of 1 Utama, which has had 8 million visitors this year, up one million from last year.
Many malls are reporting strong growth in visitors this year, as the steadily expanding economy is leaving more cash in the hands of growing a middle-class.
"We've tracked footfalls at about 2 million shoppers, and that's about 7.5% higher year-on-year for January to November period this year," said Jazmi Kamarudin, who manages the Curve shopping mall.

You could probably call it a change-up pitch. With a purpose.
Lew Wolff, the Oakland A's owner, has maintained a carefully measured public posture when discussing the team's dispute with the San Francisco Giants over the territorial rights to San Jose. On Wednesday, that changed. Wolff and the A's issued an official statement asserting for the first time that the team has just as much right to Santa Clara County as the Giants do -- and cited previously undisclosed evidence from a 1990 Major League Baseball owners' meeting to back up that contention.
The statement was spawned by a recent New York Daily News story that speculated the A's would be thwarted in their pursuit of a new ballpark in San Jose because the team would not receive the required three-quarters vote of approval from other franchise owners. The A's noted in their statement that commissioner Bud Selig had denied the story. The team then pointedly referenced "MLB-recorded minutes" from the meeting 21 years ago when the Giants originally requested the exclusive territorial rights to Santa Clara County.
The minutes to that meeting, the A's statement said, "clearly indicate that the Giants were granted" the territorial rights "subject to relocating to the city of Santa Clara." That's where the Giants planned to build their own South Bay ballpark until county voters rejected the plan, which called for tax increases.
Those 1990 MLB meeting minutes, it has been learned, also contain a passage that indicates the Giants' rights to Santa Clara County took effect only if the new stadium was satisfactorily completed. With that assurance, the A's owner at the time, Walter Haas, agreed to give away his franchise's shared rights to the South Bay without compensation.
If those minutes are accurate, then the Giants' claim to San Jose and the South Bay could indeed rest on more shaky ground than once believed. The A's obviously interpret it in that fashion. On the other hand, if MLB agreed 100 percent with that interpretation, the Giants' rights would have been dismissed long ago. And, indeed, the Giants released their own statement later Wednesday, asserting that their rights have been "reaffirmed by Major League Baseball on four separate occasions."
Wolff, when reached at his Los Angeles office, declined to elaborate on his formal statement. He did confirm his intention to bring a more well-rounded view of the A's mission to regain shared-territory status with the Giants in Santa Clara County.
"I'm trying to say in a gentle way that I don't consider it to be an upset of territorial rights," Wolff said. "Of course, I'm prejudiced."
He's also impatient. And growing more so every day. Isn't everyone? It has been three years since Selig appointed a special "blue ribbon" panel to examine the A's ballpark dilemma in the Bay Area. The idea was to determine if the team had exhausted opportunities for an East Bay stadium and if the Giants' claims to the South Bay should prevent an A's move to a site in downtown San Jose.
As that process unfolded ... and unfolded ... and unfolded ... Wolff continued to express optimism that the panel's investigation and decision would eventually go the A's way. He persistently supported Selig, who was Wolff's fraternity brother at the University of Wisconsin.
For those of us who love loud and messy public arguments, Wolff was being way too nice a guy. The Giants have been less restrained in promoting their side of the dispute and A's officials plainly think the Giants contributed in some way to the New York Daily News story last weekend, though there's no proof of that. Authored by Bill Madden, the column speculated that owners would never vote for the A's to occupy San Jose because it would establish a dangerous precedent that might allow another franchise such as the Kansas City Royals to build a ballpark in New Jersey and violate the Yankees' and Mets' rights to that territory.
That logic was flawed, of course. The Royals (or any other MLB team) have never shared the rights to New Jersey the way that the A's once shared rights to San Jose and Santa Clara County. Also, the Yankees did in fact permit the Mets to become New York City neighbors as an expansion team in 1962. Danger was avoided. No lives were lost.
In fact, if there were any "precedent" similar to the A's situation, it would be MLB's decision in 2005 to place the former Montreal Expos in Washington, D.C., over strenuous objections from the nearby Baltimore Orioles. The Orioles had not been granted territorial exclusivity to the Baltimore-Washington market but claimed they had legal rights to D.C., which is closer geographically to Baltimore than San Jose is to San Francisco. The Orioles eventually accepted financial and other considerations and dropped legal threats.
On Wednesday, the A's statement noted that "of the four two-team markets in MLB, only the Giants and A's do not share the exact same geographic boundaries." It also mentioned that when the Giants opened a retail souvenir and ticket outlet last year in Walnut Creek, which is in the A's official territory, Wolff did not object.
"We are not seeking a move that seeks to alter or in any manner disturb MLB territorial rights," the A's said. "We simply seek an approval to create a new venue that our organization and MLB fully recognizes is needed to eliminate our dependence on revenue sharing (and) offer fans a modern ballpark."
Selig said in January that the resolution of the A's situation was "on the front burner" for the sport. He has met with A's and Giants officials individually in the past several weeks, although the three parties have not met together in the same room. Owners and investors in both franchises have scheduled their own separate meetings in Arizona the weekend of March 17 and 18. Perhaps the commissioner could attend both sessions and knock some heads.
Meanwhile, officials in San Jose said Wednesday they remain planted firmly in wait-and-see mode. However, Councilman Sam Liccardo, who represents the downtown area, for the first time raised the possibility of governmentally addressing MLB's unique antitrust exemption, which permits the league to control franchise movement in ways other pro leagues cannot legally do.
Liccardo said that if the antitrust exemption comes to be viewed as an impediment to free-market competition and economic progress, perhaps it should be challenged.
"The Giants should have nothing to fear to see the A's compete for fans in San Jose," Liccardo said. "May the best team win. That's the American way."
Wolff and the A's upped the competition Wednesday, at least in the war for public sentiment. The Giants retaliated with their own ammunition and will no doubt continue to do so. If Selig wants it all to stop, he needs to turn up the burner even higher and get this damn thing settled.

COLUMBIA - Aiken County residents should vaccinate their pets and avoid wild animals to protect themselves and their pets from rabies, the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control announced today.
"State law requires that all pets be vaccinated against rabies, and we strongly encourage residents to avoid contact with stray animals and make sure their own pets have been vaccinated to protect both the pets and their owners," said Sue Ferguson of DHEC's Bureau of Environmental Health.
"Veterinarians will conduct special reduced-cost rabies clinics throughout Aiken County over the next five weekends to vaccinate pet cats and dogs against the fatal disease," Ferguson said. "Vaccinations will cost $3 each at the clinics."
Ferguson said the unvaccinated pet of a North Augusta family was recently euthanized because the pet fought with a raccoon that tested positive for rabies.
"Be wary of tame animals 'acting wild' and wild animals 'acting tame' and if you are bitten or scratched by a wild animal or domestic pet, immediately wash the wound with plenty of soap and water," Ferguson said. "DHEC advises the public to be sure to get immediate medical attention for any possible exposure to the saliva of a rabid animal and to be sure to report the incident to DHEC."
According to Ferguson, rabies is fatal to humans and animals. So, anyone bitten, scratched or otherwise exposed to the saliva of a rabid animal must undergo immediate preventive measures to stop the virus from reaching the brain.
"About 400 South Carolinians have to undergo the treatments every year after being bitten by a rabid or suspected rabid animal," Ferguson said.
For more information about rabies, see DHEC's Web page at: http://www.scdhec.gov/rabies, or contact DHEC's Aiken County Environmental Health Office at (803) 642-1637.

YONGSAN GARRISON, Republic of Korea Aca,!" Yongsan Garrison officials are warning drivers to avoid using illegal U-turns into Camp Kim.
Aca,!A"The problem is that a large number of drivers disregard traffic laws and imitate bad behaviors,Aca,!A? said Russell Obey, U.S. Army Garrison-Yongsan safety and occupational health manager. Aca,!A"The results could be catastrophic.Aca,!A?
Because of a bus lane on the main road in front of Camp Kim, U-turns or left turns into Camp Kim are illegal according to Korean traffic law. U.S. Forces Korea Pamphlet 385-2 Aca,!A"Safe Driving in KoreaAca,!A? also notes that Aca,!A"drivers can only make U-turns at intersections where designated U-turn signs are posted.Aca,!A?
Aca,!A"Drivers must follow the established traffic pattern, meaning you must continue on until finding a safe and legal way to turn around,Aca,!A? Obey said.
He recommends drivers going to Camp Kim leave through Gate 20 and follow the roads behind Camp Coiner that join to the Camp Kim road. Aca,!A"This may seem like a longer way, but itAca,!a,,cs safe and legal,Aca,!A? he said.
Aca,!A"No U-turnAca,!A? signs are posted outside Camp Kim.
Ricky Oxendine, USAG-Yongsan Emergency Services director, said accidents have occurred before outside Camp Kim and could easily happen again.
Aca,!A"Earlier this year, we had an incident involving an individual who made an illegal U-turn in the bus lane, causing a bus driver to swerve to avoid hitting the vehicle. The bus ran into the perimeter wall of Camp Kim, many individuals riding in the bus had injuries,Aca,!A? Oxendine said.
He noted that violators who conduct illegal U-turns would be subject to Korean traffic laws appropriately.
Aca,!A"Anyone operating a vehicle off a USFK installation is subject to Korean traffic laws,Aca,!A? Oxendine said. Aca,!A"We all must obey the traffic laws.Aca,!A?
No left turn into Gate 1
Safety officials caution drivers that the intersection at Gate 1 can easily create traffic problems.
Aca,!A"A left turn into Gate 1 is illegal because no left-turn signal exists,Aca,!A? Obey said.
He added that drivers cannot cross from the other side of the intersection.
Aca,!A"There is no light signal that allows this,Aca,!A? Obey said. Aca,!A"We have a lot of people who live in the new high-rise buildings across the street, but they cannot drive through the intersection into Gate 1. They have to turn right only. If they cross, they are guessing and we donAca,!a,,ct want them to guess wrong.Aca,!A?
He said his office is working with Yongsan district officials to consider adjusting signals to help make it easier to enter Gate 1.

thanks for visiting my blog!
Love the overalls - never heard of them as Jon-Jons before - too cute. I am impressed that you make videos! Well done!ReplyDelete
this is too cute! i'd love for you to come link up your creations at my Friday link party today www.smallfineprint.comReplyDelete
Great videos! What pattern are you using for you Jon Jon?ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing your Jon Jon pattern :)ReplyDelete
Love this tutorial! What pattern did you use? Also, I live in the Atlanta area. What's your favorite fabric shop other than JoAnns, Hobby Lobby, etc? I recently found Intown Quilters in Decatur and fell in love!ReplyDelete
This is such a fun tutorial. I'd love to do some of these as baby shower gifts. I tried to find a link to the pattern. Am I missing it or is it in another post? I'm not having much luck finding one on the internet, but maybe I just don't know where to look.ReplyDelete
i am sooo thankful i found your tutorial! for days i've been trying to figure out how i would make it reversible, but i kept hitting road blocks. i can't wait to start now! thank you!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much!!! I am so excited to go and buy fabric to try this tomorrow!! :)ReplyDelete
Love this! What pattern are you using for you Jon Jon?ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for posting this video! I am going to a wedding in a month and need a cute outfit for my 4 month old, so I decided to make a seersucker (and monogrammed) jon jon. Your video helped me visualize what I need to do. THANK YOU!!!! I am now a dedicated follower of your blog! :)ReplyDelete
I cloth diaper our little man, which means that his outfits usually need a little extra torso length. Would you say the pattern you used has a long torso, or is it just narrow in the width? Thanks!ReplyDelete
I just made my first longall and love it. Thanks so much for posting this!ReplyDelete
- Rachel KSeptember 20, 2011 at 5:50 PM
Wow! What a great tutorial! I am going to "try" to tackle this for my two boys! Thanks so much for sharing your talent with others!! =)ReplyDelete
Thank you Thank you!! I could not follow my instructions from a pattern. Anxious to get on another one now. Your video makes everything so clear.ReplyDelete
Perfect! You would think I've been sewing for years by the look at the outfit I just made from your video! You couldn't have done it any simpler or more understanding! Thank you. I have three kids so I just did the longall for my 3 mo little boy and will do two A line dresses for my twin 3 year olds tonight. If you're perusing the web, you can check out our blog for pics. www.thekeygirls.com.ReplyDelete
Thanks again for taking time out of your day to freely help other moms be creative like you!
Great tutorial! I have been sewing for 20+ years, but never made a jon -jon that was lined or reversible before! I could never figure out quite how to do it, but this was perfect!ReplyDelete
I made a jon-jon during my son's naptime!
If anyone is looking for a jon-jon pattern (they are hard to find), you can do what I did - take a jon-jon that fits your kid, and make a pattern out of it by tracing the sections onto freezer paper, and then adding 5/8 inch all around for the seam allowance.

AWESOME instructions!! As a stay at home Mommy too I'm just now getting into sewing with my Bernina 630E. This tutorial was EXCELLENT, thank you for taking your time to make :)ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
Hey there! Thanks so much for the great instructions! What if we were not putting snaps? At what point would we sew the bottom crotch part together? Thanks so much!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 17, 2012 at 9:57 AM
Thanks so much for clearing up a few things I was unsure of! I am heading to the sewing room now! My grandson Walker is going to be so cute in his new outfits!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 15, 2013 at 4:14 PM
What type of fabric do you use for the lining?ReplyDelete
OK. So I have searched your site everywhere for an email address. I'm I blind??? I'd love to be able to connect with you. I'm in the Atl area as well. I'm a worship leader and sing at different churches all around the Atl, but have a very small potatoes embroidery business in my basement. Currently I've made 1 pillow case dress for my daughter, but would love to get this Jon Jon DOWN! I have a 15mo old I'd love to make one for. I usually contract out pants and stuff like that when custom outfits are ordered because it's really worth my time to pay someone to do, until NOW! I'm great with all the applique and embroidery of items I purchase and others make for me, but I would really love to be able to make some of the ruffle pants, straight legged pants and longalls I contract someone else to do!
I look forward to hearing from you! My contact info is on my website.
- AnonymousAugust 14, 2013 at 2:34 PM
Thank you so much, this has been a great help. I was having trouble finishing a Jon Jon and this explained very well how I needed to finish it. Great job at explaining!ReplyDelete
Your tutorial videos are FANTASTIC!!! I'm making a corduroy longall for my son's dedication and would prefer to sew up the crotch/legs for a more finished look as it's something he'll only wear once and I'm not concerned with easy access for diaper changes. I'm a novice and have no idea when/where/how to finish the crotch seams for this finished, reversible garment. Can you please help? God bless!ReplyDelete

FILE - In this Nov. 14, 1995, file photo, Mike Fetters afixes a closed sign on a door at the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum in Washington as parts of the federal government were shutdown due a federal budget impasse between President Clinton and the Republican Congress. Moments later, the sign was taken down and the museum opened as all Smithsonian museums in Washington were told from their headquarters to stay open until further notice. OK, gridlocked politicians we're used to. But why padlock the Statue of Liberty? You don't see other democracies shuttering landmarks and sending civil servants home just because their political parties can't get along. The potential for a shutdown is a quirk of American history. So if you're tired of blaming tea party Republicans or President Barack Obama, you can lay some responsibility on the Founding Fathers. Or blame Jimmy Carter. Or Newt Gingrich's temper tantrum. A quick history of government shutdowns, American-style. (AP Photo/Doug Mills, File)
WASHINGTON (AP) - The House has passed a bill to give 800,000 furloughed federal workers retroactive pay once the government reopens.
The House passed the bill in a rare Saturday session. The vote was 407-0.
The Senate was expected to OK it as well, but the timing is unclear.
The White House backs the legislation.
The federal government been partially shut down since Tuesday, the start of the new budget year.
Both President Barack Obama and Congress are in Washington on Saturday, but there's no apparent progress in ending the shutdown.
After the voting, House are planning to leave town and not return until Monday evening.
The House has passed several bills to reopen selected parts of the federal government. Democrats are rejecting the piecemeal approach, saying the entire government should be reopened.

Animal Control
Most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) List
1. How do I report a vicious/aggressive animal in my neighborhood?
Call the Animal Services Department at 850-983-4680.
an animal off our web site, call to make sure the animal is still available or
come into the shelter and select one of our adoption pets. Once you have
selected a pet to adopt you will have to complete an adoption application. You
can obtain an application off our website or in our office. There will be a 24
hour waiting period after your application is submitted.
3. What is the cost of an adoption?
The cost is $35, county residents, $40 for out of county residents if the animal is not already altered, both include a $15 refundable spay/neuter deposit when contract agreement is met and receipt is returned to us within 2 weeks. If the animal is already altered the total cost is $30.
4. How long does it take to get my deposit back?
Approximately 2-3 weeks after we receive your proof of spay/ neuter you will receive a check by mail from the finance department.
5. Can I get a refund if I return the animal to the shelter?
Yes, if it is returned within seven days you can get a refund of the adoption fee except for a $10.00 service fee. If it is for an illness there has to be a statement from a veterinarian.
6. Who is responsible for the cost of spaying/ neutering and rabies vaccination?
The adopter.
7. Do I have to get the animal spayed or neutered, if so why?
Yes, the Legislature has determined that uncontrolled breeding of dogs and cats in the state results in the production of many more puppies and kittens than are needed to replace pet animals which have died or become lost or to provide pet animals for new owners. This leads to many dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens being unwanted, becoming strays and suffering privation and death, being impounded and destroyed at great expense to the community, and constituting a public health hazard, therefore Florida State Statute 823.15 requires that every dog or cat sold or released for adoption from any public or private animal shelter or animal control agency operated by a humane society or by a county, city, or other incorporated political subdivision be sterilized.
8. At what age is my pet required to be spayed or neutered?
6 months.
9. At what age should rabies vaccination be given? Can I administer the shot at home?
Rabies vaccination at 4 months, all dogs, cats, and ferrets must be vaccinated by a licensed veterinarian.
10. What if I fail to get the adopted animal spayed or neutered?
11. What type
of animals do
Normally dogs and cats. When available we also offer ferrets, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, pigs, birds.
12. What if I come in and you don't have a specific pet that I'm looking for?
We have a wish list where you can leave your name and phone # and we will notify you when we get a pet you're interested in.
13. Do you give any shots to the animals before adoption?
Yes, we give the parvo/distemper booster and a wormer that kills hookworms and roundworms.
14. Can we bring in our animal(s) to see if it and our potential new pet get along?

Skip to comments.The Mustang Becomes an Obamamobile
Posted on 04/20/2012 6:21:08 PM PDT by rhema
The greening of a classic car makes it unrecognizable to drivers.
The Ford Motor Company is giving its Mustang a unique 50th birthday present: death.
Detroit will still market an automobile called the Mustang. It just won't bear much of a resemblance to the iconic roadster driven by the likes of Lt. Frank Bullitt and James Bond.
Ford's new "Evos" concept features gull-wing doors, a rounded, aerodynamic body, and a smaller design clearly inspired by Europe. When Ford officially unveils its new Mustang in 2014, company insiders insist it will embrace this visual transformation.
More pertinent than its changing look will be its changing feel. Rumors abound, to the chagrin of drag racers, regarding the introduction of independent rear suspension. The five-liter engine supposedly morphs into a two-liter one. There is even talk of a hybrid Mustang.
Why not a hang-glider F-18?
A 2012 Ford Mustang boasting an eight-cylinder, five-liter engine goes from zero to sixty in less than five seconds. It takes a lot of fuel to generate all that power. The muscle car travels an average of twenty miles for every gallon of gasoline consumed. It's a performance car, albeit one that performs the way that drivers, rather than bureaucrats, want.
Twenty miles per gallon is considerably less than fifty-six miles to the gallon. That is the 2025 industry fuel-efficiency standard announced by the Obama Administration last year. With automakers having to produce a fleet of cars traveling an average of further than 56 miles per gallon by 2025, and further than 34 miles per gallon by 2016, a Mustang guzzling a gallon of gas every twenty miles would be certain to bring the fleet average below the mandated standard.
(Excerpt) Read more at spectator.org ...
It is a camarotang! I like it, but I will keep my 2012 shelby gt 500 for now.
The EPA will soon ban all cars that can make their tires smoke by accelerating. There is a safety exemption that allows smoking tires produce by rapid braking. However the new black box will determine if the driver was at fault and, if so, appropriate fines will be charged to their credit card. No credit card? No one will be allowed to purchase a new or used car or license plates without having a major credit card. Armed Black Panther members will strictly enforce the federal no smoking ordinance and may legally kill those white people they detect smoking their tires.
"`Probe'? I think I like it!" Barry Obama
Probe was almost the Mustang. 1994
Ain't gonna work. I would suggest buying a Mustang now, before they destroy it.
The car handled fine even on winding roads, the weight of the engine kept the front end on the ground when you kept your foot on the brake and put the throttle to the floor, then release brake pedal, what a thrill that was. The car handled even better when I got rid of the poly-glass wide ovals and put on T/A radials 60 series. And by the way I also replaced the original distributor with an Accel dual point w/50000 volt coil.
I'll take the two on the left.
The Ford Motor Company is giving its Mustang a unique 50th birthday present: death. Detroit will still market an automobile called the Mustang. It just won't bear much of a resemblance......the same move years ago resulted in the Mustang II.
The Mustang, which has had a strong retro look since 2005, is losing steam, too. Last year Ford sold 70,438, down 4.4% from 2010 and less than half the 166,530 it sold in 2006.
This is because the 2005-2009 models were the most strongly "retro", looking like the '69-'70 Fastback models - arguably the first-generation Mustang's zenith with the Mach 1, Boss 302 and Boss 429. In '71, the car got big and bloated, like a variant of the Torino. Despite increases in performance from 2010-12, the cars are NOT as attractive.
Another BIG reason (duh, Ford/WSJ) is that Dodge brought the Challenger to market in 2008 and Chevy rolled the new Camaro out in 2010. Of course Ford is going to lose some sales to the non-brand-loyal buyers who now have a choice. Even Hyundai is after a piece of Ford's ponycar action with the Genesis coupe.
You just made me sports some wood!
When I was a teenager and muscles care ruled our world, I had a boyfried that had a beautiful sky blue Roadrunner with a white top. We used to get on the highway in front of my house poor bleach on the road and make beautiful white smoke with those tires. I have some pictures somewhere. If I knew how to post them I would.
In retrospect, that worked for him, because he had a mostly good eye for when a tool couldn't be used, and I only saw him fall prey to a bad tool.
But it was cars. My dad had two of the worst cars ever (on the list) in a three year period! He didn't have good car sense.
He had this:
...and this...
Whew. Then he got this, and little kids we were, we called it the "beep beep" because of that silly french horn. But you know, when I look at it now...I think I like it!
My dad had a white one in 1966 when he was stationed at the Navy Yard in Washington DC. It is best known in my family for the smell. My dad took us with him to pick up some things for the yard at a store called GEM. (My dad worked part time there for years)
One of those things was a bag of manure.
Now, being a small car, the only place you could put that bag of manure with a full car of kids was the floor underfoot, where we were expected to rest our feet gently on top of it.
As soon as we began driving, as my feet rested on that back of manure, I began to kick my feet on it in the bored manner of a boy who has been banished to Right Field in Little League, because you can't hit...can't catch, you stand out there the whole game wearing grooves in the ground with your sneakers where you stand.
Well, that's what I did to that bag of manure. I admit it. I just giggled at my dads puzzled and panicked look as he got the smell and looked back.
That car was just about six months old, as I recall.
Anyway, here I am, talking about how cars were his weak point, but then you know what? As I thought of those cars, I remembered this one:
A 1964 Chrysler New Yorker wagon just like this one, except it had a red interior. Push button transmission. Room for 10 people. 413 cubic inches. Built like a fricking Sherman Tank. (Traveled across country in it, my parents spent their wedding anniversary with us all sleeping in the car,a the front end of the car off the ground on a hill, the rear stuck in the mud. We lost the brakes coming down Pikes Peak!!!)
So, I thought..."THAT was a beastly, car, and a good one, too. (Took it to Japan and Subic Bay)
Then, he got this car:
Ours was silver, and it was the first car I ever went over 100mph in...
But you know...the one I got to drive in High School, was...this:
Had the same paint scheme, but the shift lever was on the dashboard. I had that great slant six.
Come to think of it, Dad...You made some great choices!
Got any views in the backseat?
I have a cousin who has either 4 or 5 of those early models. They are just sitting on his property and will probably just rust away eventually.
I noticed a year or so ago, he put a sign on them which read "Not For Sale". He is now approaching 70 and he obviously in never going to restore them.
I just don't understand why he doesn't sell them while they are still in fairly good shape.
I swear from the back seat of a brand-new '90 we were doing 100 in second gear in about 3.7 seconds.
I drove a 79 or 80 "Mustang" once, pretty much the same thing as a Mercury Capri. That was a very sad car to have the Mustang badge.
Yes, and they were fairly reliable too - my sister loved hers. The vehicle was fine, it was just the attempt to foist off a Mazda as a Mustang that was a bad idea.
Pretty sweet, but honestly what Mustang fan wouldn't give it up for a '65 GT350 with only 300 hp?
Oh, man. A Capri. My brother had one, a real ball-buster of a car.
Agreed. I had the turbo version. Only problem was the suspension and engine mounts were of poor design... it was a ditch-hunter under heavy boost.
Like most I think the 89-70 Boss Mustangs were the pinnacle, but I think the hated 73ish Stangs with the 351Cleveland 4V (especially the Boss 351) is seriously underrated. Yes it was a pig, but it was a FAST pig. People should look up it's stats vs the 429. You will be in for a shock.
That car, with side pipes, rear window louvers and 50s/70s to me is the 'classic' redneck backyard hotrod. I've built a few cars over the years (and trucks) but never could find one in salvagable condition that the owner didn't want a fortune for (just the regular ones, bit the Boss, which is rare as hen's teeth to begin with.) They are usually either on the wrong side of 'project' quality or in good shape and should be left alone for what they are.
And a 351C4V at 7,000 RPM makes the most beautiful sound on earth.
Not Guilty, Not Guilty, Not Guilty, Guilty as charged,
Oh wait, wrong thread
Edit - 69-70.....grrrr....
We are restoring a 67; looks just like that picture. Well it will hopefully look like that one.
No sunscreen?
"Gen Y will never have a peak of buying cars, because these dumb asses keep their faces shoved in an I-pod or I-pad for the rest of their lives, lest someone 'dis them electronically."
Well, mom and dad won't be able to drive them to the game store forever.
Seriously, both the Mustang and Camaro are basically going to be history, due to demographics. Both start and mid-20's and the one you actually WANT is 45-60K. Seriously. This is why the average age of a buyer is in the 50's.
I am not buying it, for 2 reasons. Ford isn't Government Motors. They will build what people will open their wallets and buy. For Mustang, that is horsepower. Who is afraid of IRS? Contrary to the article, the drag race crowd wasnt putting 1000 HP in front of a stock axle. The Ford 9 inch rear end has been the standard for drag racing for 40 years and for that reason, it is one of the cheapest to build and modify. The IRS in a factory horse car will be great. As a road racer with a solid rear axle, trust me the difference is astounding. If Ford keeps the current body, current motor and puts IRS in, I may not need to buy a Corvette (I hate GM, but that thing goes turns and stops like nothing else for the dollar)
Reason 2? Remember the Ford Probe? It was touted as the next Mustang until fans flooded Ford with mail. They will do the same thing. Drown in the adoration of thousands and release this "next Mustang" as a new model. The next Mustang will have a short deck, long hood and a V8. Anything else is economic suicide.
A lady never tells and gentleman never asks!!!!
I tred that on my Opel GT. Virginia wouldnt let me replace both side mirrors with cameras. They said i could do one.
I tred that on my Opel GT. Virginia wouldnt let me replace both side mirrors with cameras. They said i could do one.
Bingo! check out my post
The Cobra IRS was fairly stout short of a 5000 RPM sidestep of the clutch, so it's definitely doable. The aftermarket stuff nearly bulletproofed it (granted, it's no 9 in.)
Check out what the off-Road guys do with Mendiola transaxles and Porsche/custom CVs. They withstand big power, and get 20+ inches of travel while pounding/shock loading everything in ways that makes that sidestep look like a Sunday drive. For 1000 miles at a clip.
Make that for 35,000 and give it 400 hp standard and they will sell a million a year
Its a shitbox my cat wouldnt even use.
I want my my muscle cars.
gen Y is a bunch of punkassed dumbasses running around in little handgrenades called JSBs.The reason a 51 year old man is the prime customer for the mustang is because he is not sadled with all the college debt from a studies degree.FORD will be jumping all over their unit if they go this route.My God what a shitbox.
I am not sure that a turbo 4 cyl. Rear drive Mustang is a bad idea.
The SVO turbo was a nice car.
What it will boil down to is weight control (keep it light), and good alloys for the exhaust valves so you can sustain high power outputs under high boost pressure.
But I doubt I'll be a customer, because it will probably still be assembled by uaw workers, meaning quality will be hit or miss.
im not afraid to open my wallet for a Mustang. That broad in the front seat scares me more economically.
The original 64 Mustang was designed with IRS, but from a price perspective it didnt make sense. So they used a cheap Falcon axle. Having IRS is awesome. Drive an early 2000's Mustang with IRS next to a faster, stronger GT with live axle. I guarantee after that drive what you want is the power of the v8 with the IRS.
The only downside to IRS I'm aware of is cost/complexity. When done right/beefy, they are killer. I think a lot of people just don't understand them for performance applications.
Sure, drag racing is one thing when you have monster slicks and a ton of bite, but the reliability gained comes with a huge penalty in all other scenarios. Like I said above, the off-road racers perfected the beefy IRS in brutal conditions. 400 HP to the ground on 37 in tires puts incredible stress on IRS components - far more than a drag car. But that IRS helps the vehicles so equipped out handle their solid brethren. In the late 90s, Ivan Stewart's Toyota Trophy Truck regularly beat up on the Solid trucks with far more travel. Of course that was all custom gear, but the principle applies.
It can be done with modern tech, no prob. I just think the real hurdle is in the traditionalist mindset.
"Back in the day when I was a yut (late 50s early 60s) my group of teenage friends and I prided ourselves on our ability to name the make, model and year of every car that we saw on the streets. Now they all look the same. ;-("
I remember that very well. Reminds me of an old joke (hope I don't get Zotted), where a bored house wife was out grocery shopping and followed the bag boy out to the parking lot. She watched his muscular rear end for a while, then moved up beside him and whispered "I have an itchypussy."
The teenager promptly responded "You'll have to point it out to me because I can't tell one of them Japanese cars apart from the others."
I'm talking about the smoke...
Bleach, tires?
ROFLMAO! Great funny to send me off to bed. Thanks.
Bleach burnouts result in very thick white smoke.
Also check what I want, real badly!
Thanks for the pic...
No, it's not a '64 Stang. 1964 was almost a half century ago. Not that the original Mustang was anything to write home about. I had one, and it handled like a pig and had brakes that were a joke, albeit a scary one. Basically, the Mustang formula was to take cheapo Falcon parts and cover them up better looking sheet metal. It was not until Ol' Shel tweaked the dang thing and gave us the first GT350 that the Mustang started getting good.
Truth be told, the 2012 Boss 302 is a better car in every way than the original was in 1969-70. It is quicker, faster, stops better, handles MUCH better and even gets better gas mileage to boot. It's arguably the best Mustang ever, and it will blow many much more expensive Shelbys with much higher horsepower ratings right off the track. Nostalgia is a wonderful thing, but given the choice of Steve McQueen's Green '68 for the movie or it namesake Ford offered up 40 years later, I'd take the '08. I love the 390, but it was basically a truck engine.
It's 2012, and Pontiac is gone, taking with it the Firebird and GTO. Plymouth is also gone, but it had been a long time since anything like the Road Runner or 'Cuda had been built with a Plymouth nameplate anyway. Same goes for Olds and the mighty 4-4-2 which was finally reduced to a Cutlass trim package on models that had the 260 Olds V8. Getting rid of it was a mercy killing.
If the Mustang ever dies, it won't be Ford that kills it this time. It will be Congress, CARB, the EPA and politicians like Obama who believe that all cars should be badge-engineered Chevy Volts. The 2005 and newer Mustangs are good cars in spite of these leftists, not because of them. No matter what kind of Mustang Ford builds, Shelby, Roush, Saleen (he's bought his company back) and others will offer all sorts of interesting variants on it.
What's going away is the manual transmission. Each year, more and more models (except for smaller cars) are not being offered with a true manual gearbox. On many models which do offer a stick shift, it's usually on available with the weakest engine in the lineup and on the lowest trim level. On sportier models, paddle shifters for auto trannys are all the rage these days. Heck, you can't even get a manual in a full-size truck anymore unless you opt for a heavy duty with a diesel engine.
I've owned two Mustangs, a '66 that was built on a Falcon chassis and a Mustang II hatchback that was built on a Pinto chassis. At least the II had the Cologne V6 with a four speed manual. Not exactly a bat out of hell, but it drove better than the wheezy 2.3 liter four banger. Funny thing was that the Mercury Capri II with the same engine was quicker and handled better mainly because it wasn't as heavy as the Mustang.
Someday I hope to come across an '08 Bullit that hasn't been trashed too badly. I'll jump all over it. My dream car is a '12 Boss 302, but I don't think I'll be able to afford one, even used.
I looked at your about page; I was overhead in 73-74 flying P-3s locating NVN gun runners (small coastal freighters closely hugging the coast line) for you guys to move in and blow them out of the water! We had no armor, no weapons on board and no self-sealing fuel tanks so my eyesight improved to 20-100, and I could visually ID those sneaky little bastards from 5 miles away, back off and track them on radar while you guys closed in for the kill. I bet your gunners mates had fun with that!

white wicker elephant
plant stand
antique table
antique furniture
estate auction
It was another great weekend for my low-cost and eco-friendly decorating project. I went to our local antique mall on Saturday and found a retro white wicker elephant plant stand for $23...it is identical to the one featured in the May issue of Domino, which quotes a price of $75. Less than a third of that price works for me!
While at the antique mall, I saw a sign for an estate auction happening Saturday evening. My boyfriend and I went, and it really paid off. For a total of $40, picked up an antique wood table with six chairs, a buffet side table, a set of 50s-style salad bowls, two chairs for our patio and a Chinese tea set. Great deal! We painted the buffet and table with black, zero-VOC paint we already had around the house and refinished the seat cushions on the chair with some white burlap. They have really tied the room together and we both agreed are probably now our nicest pieces of furniture, along with being some of our least expensive.
I also picked up a couple of frames for some handmade paper I purchased at Two Hands Paperie in Boulder, Colorado, last time I went there for an editorial meeting with our editor-in-chief, Robyn Griggs Lawrence, who lives there. This paper is inexpensive and supports local artisans. It's a simple and elegant way to bring some unique art into our home.
Finally, we wanted to get some living things in our space, so we purchased a Mexican lime tree for the patio and a fern for the living room, both of which I repotted with organic potting mix. I am hoping to start growing some herbs and veggies out there, soon, too...and got the great suggestion from one of our reader comments to put a bucket out there to collect rainwater for the outdoor plants. More to come...

Drop Dead Delicious Stuffed Zucchini
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 45 mins
My mother-in-law is famous for her stuffed zucchini, and now I have the pleasure to share the recipe with all of you.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 medium zucchini
- 1 medium onion, minced
- 1 (7 ounce) can roasted red peppers, chopped
- 1⁄2 green pepper, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 thyme, sprigs
- 1⁄4-1⁄2 teaspoon oregano
- salt and pepper
- 3⁄4 lb ground beef (or chicken, turkey, fish, 1 can of tuna, or other veggies...you get the idea)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 slices cheese (any kind really, we use Gouda or Gruyere, though this really is a matter of personal preference)
- Wash zucchini, and put in a pot of cold water (do not remove ends).
- Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes, maybe a little longer depending on the size of your zucchini.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a fairly large skillet.
- Saute garlic first, then add onions, green pepper, thyme, and oregano.
- When the veggies begin to soften, add ground meat (or whatever you are using), season with salt and pepper, and brown until cooked through.
- Drain off any excess grease.
- Set aside to cool slightly.
- When the zucchini have cooked through, remove from water, and allow to cool enough to handle.
- Slice cooled zucchini lengthwise, and scoop out center, leaving a little veggie flesh to form a"boat.
- "Mix ground meat mixture with the red peppers, and the scooped out zucchini (chopped), and the egg.
- Fill the zucchini boats with the mixture, and top each with a slice of cheese.
- Bake in a 375ºF oven for 20-30 minutes, until heated through, and cheese begins to bubble and brown.
- Serve hot.
- Note: If making this dish with tuna or fish, I like to add a little mayo or garlic mayo, and substitute the raw egg for a hard boiled and chopped one.

I thought these were amazing! Delicious and impressive looking. I used ground beef and can't wait to try it with other meats as well. I used one small jar of chopped roasted peppers, drained,and thought it was the just right amount (about 1/2 cup). The flavors all blended very nicely. Be sure to add enough salt and pepper - I was pretty lighthanded with the seasonings and next time with be more generous, but that is no fault of the recipe. I will definitely make this one for guests if I know they are zucchini fans. Great recipe!
Absolutely wonderful!! This was so delicious...I made mine with ground beef mixed with ground pork, and used store-bought roasted peppers, and also, I used way more fresh garlic than called for, (about 1 heaping tablespoon!) and added about 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese to the hamberger/pork mixture for an extra kick!...otherwise made as directed. I baked hem tented with foil for about 35 minutes, uncovered them and put under the broiler for a couple of minutes. These were to die for, thanks so much Canary Girl for sharing such a wonderful recipe, I will make this again!...kittencal:)
I had some left-over roasted red peppers and I wanted to use them with zucchini. I found this recipe and used it as a basis for a very delicious side dish! I replaced the green pepper with mushrooms and omitted the meat. Since I was in a bit of a hurry and the "stuffing" was still very hot, I thought the egg would scramble if I added it, so I left that out too. I kept the seasonings the same and they were delicious. Once I got the "hang" of getting the zucchini flesh out, while leaving the skin intact, things were great. I put the stuffing back into the zucchini boats and gave a liberal sprinkling of parmesan cheese. 15 minutes in the oven and then a couple more under the broiler and they were absolutely delicious. They looked wonderful too! Thank you, canarygirl, for a very versatile recipe!

He started out as a system engineer, held various positions in sales and marketing and was promoted to worldwide business unit manager for the IBM/SAP joint venture. Stephan earned his MBA degree at IMD Lausanne, Switzerland in 1992, which is when he launched his entrepreneurial career. While at IMD, Stephan co-founded OPED AG, a highly innovative orthopedic device company, which today employs 300 people and is still privately owned. He led OPED AG for 10 years as CEO; his main expertise and talent being funding, as well as the sales and marketing aspects of the business. Stephan developed the concept of providing standardized outpatient care plans, which revolutionized OPED's sales approach—it sold comprehensive "treatment solutions" rather than mere medical devices. These care plans were the impetus for iGetBetter. In 2005, Stephan moved to Boston to start distribution of OPED products in the US, which is also when he and Christian Marten began formulating the idea of creating online care coordination plans. Under Stephan's stewardship, the iGetBetter project progressed successfully, culminating in the establishment of iGetBetter, Inc. in January, 2013. Today, Stephan owns and oversees OPED USA, is a board member of OPED AG, and continues to be actively involved with iGetBetter's strategy and vision.

Christian's focus then turned to international sales with travel around the world. In 2000, Christian moved to the U.S. to start the distribution of OPED products. In 2005, he joined Stephan in Boston, MA and together they streamlined OPED for success. As Managing Director and COO at OPED USA, Christian has gained comprehensive knowledge of all aspects of the medical device business. Extensive travels throughout the U.S. brought him into many hospitals and physicians' offices, leading to countless discussions with healthcare professionals and also patients about healthcare. Based on his experiences, Christian created the first product concept for iGetBetter and our namesake. Christian led the development of the application from concept to usable product, which resulted in the establishment of iGetBetter, Inc. where he is responsible for the functional evolution of the product, as well as driving the introduction and operational deployment with customers.

David Lebudzinski, M.D. began working with the iGetBetter project as a consulting physician in early 2012.

Chili Powder Light - DISCONTINUED
Chili Powder Light - DISCONTINUED
We use only the finest, rich, fruity chilies in this blend. These light chilies are baked for only half the time as our dark chilies. This results in a lighter color and flavor. This chili powder has mild heat and contains chili powder, salt, cumin, garlic, black pepper, cloves and other spices.
Why Buy Your Spices at Silver Cloud
Why buy spices online when they are so readily available at your local store? The answer is quality and price. The spices sold at your local store are often a year or two old. As spices age, they loose much of their flavor. Silver Cloud's spices are always fresh, never old. Our products are also an excellent value.

In recent years Britain has become the dominant nation on two wheels, which must be quite unsettling for the Aussies, with their strong and proud cycling culture.
Britain's ability to extend its success from track to road has been helped by TeamSky, the professional team that helped Mark Cavendish, Bradley Wiggins and now Chris Froome rise to the top, which was - and remains - closely linked to the Team GB set-up.
For the last few years Australia's equivalent team – Orica-GreenEDGE – has been trying to emulate the Brits, boasting a majority Aussie roster and a good haul of stage wins.
So it's perhaps unsurprising that the two teams have set up their own equivalent to the Ashes – a best-of-five 'battle' challenge.
The first battle sees their riders play rock-paper-scissors. There's even a sly attempt at gamesmanship from one of the Aussie riders…

Landmark 20,000 Lbs Received!
With the close of 2013, we have reached a new landmark with more than 20,000 pounds of coffee having been shipped to overseas military personnel through our Military Match program since the program's inception. This is only accomplished through a partnership with our customers.
"The coffee that we receive while deployed to Kuwait through the Military Match Program was like a slice of home here in the Middle East," said CPT Noel S. Bellas, Commander 1021st Vertical Engineer Company, Louisiana Army National Guard, Kuwait. "It really had a positive impact on the morale of our Soldiers to have something as familiar as Community Coffee in the mornings because Community Coffee is our overwhelming brand of choice for the majority of our Soldiers in the 1021st EN CO. We have shared it with our sister units from around the country."
Every day, our U.S. military men and women show us what it truly means to go beyond. It can be so important to our servicemen and servicewomen to get a care package from home. And, of course, we'd suggest a little cup of home — a great cup of coffee goes a long way to provide comfort. We are deeply honored to have shipped more than 20,000 pounds of coffee to our servicemen and servicewomen since 2008.
- Community Coffee Company supports the U.S. military personnel by doubling orders to ensure servicemen and servicewomen get a cup of home. Customers purchase four bags of Community® coffee for those serving, and the company matches the order with four additional bags to military addresses (APO/FPO addresses).
- Customers have the opportunity to choose one type of these five traditional ground roasted coffees: Dark Roast 16 oz., Between Roast 16 oz., Medium Roast 16 oz., New Orleans Blend® Coffee and Chicory 16 oz., and Decaffeinated 13 oz. All customers need are valid overseas military addresses (APO/FPO addresses). The eight bags plus a signature Military Match mug will be shipped to the APO/FPO address provided. Community Coffee Company does encourage at least 30 business days for an order to arrive to some overseas destinations. The company covers the shipping cost of the additional 4 bags of coffee.
Valentine's Day Reminder: With Valentine's Day around the corner, it's the perfect time to start thinking about care packages for the military personnel. With shipping charges, military personnel get 8 bags of coffee for $38.95. More information is available at CommunityCoffee.com or by going directly to CommunityCoffee.com/AboutUs/MilitaryMatch.aspx

Reynolds CEO Downplays Recent Deal Chatter
Investors betting on deal between Reynolds American and Lorillard might not want to get to far ahead of themselves.
That at least appears to be the message of Reynolds American CEO Susan Cameron, who downplayed recent market speculation that Reynolds might try to buy rival Lorillard.
"I'm very confident in our organic business, let's just say that," she said during Q&A at a Goldman Sachs conference, adding investors shouldn't read too much into her surprise return as CEO on May 1, when she replaced Daniel Delen.
Shares of Lorillard are down more than 1%, while Reynolds is off less than a percent.
Ms. Cameron also dampened speculation British American Tobacco will up its 42% Reynolds stake after a 10-year standstill agreement preventing a hostile takeover expires in July.
"I don't see BAT as a stealth predator. I see them as a partner," she said.
Speculation in recent months has focused on British American Tobacco upping its 42% stake in Reynolds or teaming with Reynolds to buy Lorillard.
Shares of U.S. tobacco companies Reynolds American and Lorillard jumped Monday after the Times of London, citing unnamed sources, reported that U.K.'s British American Tobacco has hired bankers to advise on M&A options in the U.S.
Many analysts have questioned a Lorillard deal given antitrust issues and uncertainty over menthol regulation.
Any tie-up between Reynolds and Lorillard would leave about 90% of the U.S. tobacco industry in the hands of two companies and thus, likely face a strenuous antitrust review.
On top of that, the Food and Drug Administration is mulling curbs on menthol-flavored cigarettes after having already banned all other cigarette flavors. Menthol cigarettes generate the bulk of Lorillard's revenue.

The recent discovery of vitamin K and the impetus it has given to a more intensive study of the problems of blood coagulation has resulted in the publication of concise monographs both in this country and abroad. This condensed presentation first reviews and summarizes the current views on blood coagulation and the methods available for the quantitative study of the various factors. The discussion of the five main factors concerned with disturbed blood coagulability is terse except for hypoprothrombinemia, which receives the major emphasis. The author attempts to evaluate the part that calcium, fibrinogen, thrombokinase (thromboplastin), heparin and prothrombin play in bleeding states in children. Fanconi frankly states that he has never seen a case of bleeding on the basis of insufficiency of fibrinogen and only 1 questionable case in which decrease in calcium may have been a factor. The role of insufficiency of thrombokinase (thromboplastin) is concerned mainly with

Definition of Artificial pacemaker
Artificial pacemaker: A device that uses electrical impulses to regulate the heart rhythm or reproduce it. An internal pacemaker is one in which the electrodes to the heart, the electronic circuitry, and the power supply are all implanted internally, within the body. Although there are different types of pacemakers, all are designed to treat a heart rate that is too slow (bradycardia). Pacemakers may function continuously and stimulate the heart at a fixed rate, or they may function at an increased rate during exercise. A pacemaker can also be programmed to detect an overly long pause between heartbeats and then stimulate the heart.
