excellent on all accounts
I found him to be one of the most caring doctors I've met. If I send him an email, he answers personally and quickly with good suggestions.
don't believe the negative reviews. i received excellent and compassionate care
great experience. saved my life
great and empathetic care, friendly staff!
great experience. caring and knowledgable doctor
Don't trust the negative evals. He's a gem and the staff is great especially Diane and Natalie
The best bed-side manners in I doctor with whom I have ever had the privilege to be a patient. He is friendly, caring, kind, and concerned. I highly recommend Dr. Gaisa. I have been with him now for 3-4 years as my PCP and as a specialist. I would continue to see him if it was not for the fact that I am moving to Seattle, Washington soon. One cannot go wrong with Dr. Gaisa either as a specialist or Primary Care Physician. He was very easy to talk with about any of my concerns. I felt completely safe and never judged. Thanks, Dr. Gaisa for all of your help in keeping me as healthy as I chose to be. I will be sure to let you know when some of the extra pounds begin to disappear. I appreciate all that you and your wonderful staff have done for me and will continue to do for others. Let Peace extend from my mind to yours.
Great doctor and a very nice person. Strongly recommended.
excellent in every way. felt well taken care of
Extremely knowledgeable, especially in the study of HPV and HIV treatments. I consider him to be among the top nationwide in this field. He has spear-headed protocols in New York, that the rest of the nation will some day follow as well.
Dr Gaisa is a nice man but lacks experience and understanding of patient needs. The dr often seems frazzled and rushed
Dr. Gaisa is, i think, the best physician i have ever meet. He has all the qualities requiered for taking good care of a patient: he is smart, takes his time during the visits, listens, makes right diagnosis, and most importantly does a very good follow up.In summary he is excellent. I highly recommand him.
Very smart and caring doctor.

Losing bidders on transit contract say winner will seek more county cash
A low bidder awarded a three-year, $500 million contract for running the Milwaukee County Transit System could wind up costing the county more money, according to a lawyer for one of the losing bidders.
Dallas-basedMV Transportation's winning bid included an ultralow price for administration, but opens the door to the firm charging the county extra money for extra hours worked by top managers, said John Hoeft, a lawyer for Veolia Transportation.
By shifting some of its administrative costs to operations in its bid, MV set itself up to reap extra payments for extra hours worked by executives, Hoeft said.
His comments came during an all-day administrative appeal hearing on the July selection of MV to run the county's transit system. Though a tentative contract has been negotiated by the county with MV, the appeal of the selection process has held up contract approval.
Hoeft's version of events was countered by Krista Baisch, a lawyer representing the county. She said MV was properly selected and that its $8.6 million price for administration was reasonable, even though it was far lower than other firm's prices.
MV's size would allow it to pass along savings from economies of scale, the firm says. The company says it has transportation contracts in 130 locations, including in 28 states and Washington D.C.
"That's one of the reasons (MV's) price proposal was reasonable," Baisch said.
County Executive Chris Abele said he was convinced MV's price was solid, would be enforced and could yield enormous savings that could be plowed into transit improvements. MV's projected administrative savings over the current operator is some $16 million annually.
"I trust MV," Abele said in an interview. "You don't get a lot of opportunities to improve this dramatically.
Hoeft said MV failed to follow rules set up by the county in its bidding process and told county supervisors on an appeals panel to throw out MV's bid and rescore the four other bids.
Hoeft said the county "let MV game the system" by accepting an obviously unrealistic bid. He also said the county erred by allowing only MV answer 22 follow-up questions.
In answer to a question on its $8.6 million bid price for administrative costs, MV said it hoped to further discuss that in contract negotiations. That should have triggered throwing out MV's bid, Hoeft said.
Eric Van Schyndle, a lawyer for a second losing bidder, said MV's bid on administration would lead it to eat millions of dollars in administrative costs or rely on the firm's executives in Dallas for most administrative functions.
He said MV's administrative price was likely a mistake they would try to correct later by demanding more money.
"At that point, there's a gun to Milwaukee County's head," said Van Schyndle. He represents Milwaukee Transport Systems, the nonprofit created to operate the transit system nearly 40 years ago.
Veolia's bid for administration of the transit system was nearly $29 million, while MTS' administrative cost was listed at about $24 million.
Hoeft and Van Schyndle said the county was "arbitrary, oppressive or unreasonable" in how it handled the bidding competition, part of a test to determine whether the selection of MV should be overturned.
Baisch defended the selection of MV and called the criticism from other firms "totally and utterly false."
The review panel has authority to order a rescoring of bids or a new round of bids.
The panel began closed-door deliberations on the contract appeal late Tuesday afternoon. The committee will reconvene Thursday, said Supervisor Tony Staskunas.
If a contract for running the transit system is not in place by April 1, the county would take steps to manage the system using county employees.

text: To learn how the solvent water forms hydrogen bonds, solvates polar molecules, and weakens ionic bonds. Water is one of the most essential substances on Earth. One of the most important properties of water is its ability to dissolve many different substances. The bent nature of the molecule and the unequal charge distribution play pivotal roles in the solution process. �Polarity: Polarity is directly proportional to the dipole moment of a chemical bond. �Ionic nature: The ionic nature of a compound depends on the difference in electronegativity between atoms. �Hydrogen bonding: Hydrogen bonding is a weak electrostatic attractive force developed between partly polar hydrogen and a highly electronegative atom. Part A Check all that apply. QUESTION Water is known as a polar molecule because (1) water has two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to a single oxygen atom. (2) water dipole moment is equal to zero. (3) the hydrogen atom attracts electrons much more strongly than the oxygen atom. (4) the oxygen atom has a greater attraction for electrons than the hydrogen atom does. (5) the electrons of the covalent bond are not shared equally between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms. (6) the oxygen and hydrogen atoms have the same electronegativity.

Compatable CF cards in D700?
Just purchased SanDisk 8GB 60MB/s Compact Flash Extreme 400x UDMA memory cards for my just purchased D700.Decided to check with Nikon support on line and they said I could only use Type I cards. Is this a Type I card?
In The Middle Of Difficulty, Lies Opportunity
#1. "RE: Compatable CF cards in D700?" | In response to Reply # 0ericbowles Nikonian since 25th Nov 2005Tue 20-Mar-12 10:07 PM
The only physical difference between the two types is that Type I devices are 3.3 mm thick while Type II devices are 5 mm thick.
The vast majority of all Type II devices are Microdrives and other miniature hard drives.
Type I is what you want for your camera. This one should be fine.

Terrible Car Wash. I paid for a premium wash and had to wipe down my own car while the manager & employees stood and watched. There is absolutely no pride from the manager and this matriculates to all employees. Don't be fooled by the specials; you will get 'less' that what you pay for. It is simply not worth going to this car wash, you'll just end up doing it yourself.

It shows you know nothing about the Holy Bible or religion for that matter.<quoted text>
A hypocrite would be someone who cares about the Bible or Santa Jesus the magic sky fairy. Since I don't, that makes you another idiot without a clue what he's talking about. Now about those rightwing Conservatives? Any Christians going on there?
A hypocrite would be someone who prances around on some moral high horse, talking sh1t about abortion, gays or women. Claiming to be a follower of the Bible, and then ignoring the parts they don't like. Such as paying taxes, turning the other cheek, giving your enemies your coat, treating the poor as if they are Jesus Christ himself, giving away all your wealth to get to heaven...all right from the Bible they claim to follow.
You know, hypocrites...like rightwing Conservatives.
There's reality and then there's that place where you guys live. American voters can obviously tell the difference.
I don't recall where God stated that government should confiscate money against the will of the people in order to take care of those who can't--or in our society, those who are just too lazy to work or conduct themselves with responsibility such has only having children they can afford.
But since you're an expert, let me ask: Do you suppose I'll go to heaven given the fact I worked all my life and forcibly had to support the lazy?
Jesus asked those who followed him to feed the poor and take care of the needy. He didn't ask government. In other words, it was optional to give of yourself--not mandated. Maybe you heard, Jesus and government didn't get along too well.
I'll clue you in on something else here: God didn't care for gays and he certainly disapproved of killing innocent children be they born or not. Or do you think Santa Jesus would approve of that also?
Again I stress that christianity didn't promote people paying taxes against their will. Your little piece was out of context excerpts. If you like, I can dig up a list of quotes out of the Bible that are against paying taxes. But since I can't address each one, I'll just give you a link so you understand what "Render unto Caesar" meant:

Seems we are still all holding. Wonder if NECA is going to try and get someone on the BOD?
Looks like were broke free of the holding pattern. At least for the moment. We shall see,
Sentiment: Buy
Looks like the 50 and 200 MDA's are slowly rising. We need some of those 540K shares shorted to cover,
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Looks like NECA bought over half of those 15K shares. They are one their way to a million shares.
Well now we know who sold the 15K shares. The next question is did NECA buy them. Also there was a 8K shares trade today. Lets speed this thing up, sell more share. Also looks like the float went down.
15K shares traded today. Alot of 100 share trades.
I guess we are back in the hodling pattern. There are still 450K shares shorted.

I was ripped off by one of the very same kids named in a previous complaint. I am not certain the dishonesty lies with the kids selling magazines, so I will not name him.
However, you should not order magazines from this company, give them any money, or expect a response to your complaint.
After waiting well over 120 days. (Am I crazy? a magazine ordered directly will arrive in a few weeks) no magazines ever arrived. There also is no answer despite repeated call to the Denton TX office. Beware. I now have a valid excuse to turn down any slick talking sympathetic kid that shows up at the door. And it only cost me $40.

From School Library Journal
Gr 9 Up–The Good Braider follows Viola on a journey from her home in ravaged Sudan to Cairo and finally to the folds of a Sudanese community in Maine. Viola's story, told in free verse, is difficult to read without a constant lurking sense of both dread and hope. In the opening scene she gazes at the curve of the back of a boy walking the street in front of her, only to view his senseless execution moments later. This tension never completely dissipates, though it takes on different forms throughout her story; by the end it is replaced not by the fear of execution or of the lecherous soldier who forces her to trade herself for her family's safety, but by the tension of walking the line between her mother's cultural expectations and the realities of her new country. Yet while Farish so lyrically and poignantly captures Viola's wrenching experience leaving her home, navigating the waiting game of refugee life, and acculturating into the United States, she's equally successful in teasing out sweet moments of friendship and universal teenage experiences. Viola's memorable, affecting voice will go far to help students step outside of their own experience and walk a mile in another's shoes.–Jill Heritage Maza, Montclair Kimberley Academy, Montclair, NJ August 2012
From Booklist
Like Mark Bixler's adult book The Lost Boys of Sudan (2005), this powerful novel tells today's refugee story from a young viewpoint, but here, the Sudanese teen is a girl. In free-verse poems, Viola, 16, remembers being driven from home in the brutal civil war, then the long, barefoot trek to Khartoum and Cairo, escaping landmines and suffering hunger along the way, until at last she and her mother get refugee status, board a plane, and join her uncle in Portland, Maine's Sudanese community. Never exploitative, Viola's viewpoint will grip readers with its harsh truths: the shame of her rape in Sudan and the loss of her "bride wealth"; the heartbreak when her little brother dies during their escape; her wrenching separation from her grandmother. The contemporary drama in Maine is also moving and immediate. At 17, Viola is thrilled to go to school, and she makes friends, even a boyfriend who teaches her to drive: but can he get over her rape? Always there is her mother, enraged by the new ways. An essential addition to the Booklist Core Collection feature, "The New Immigration Story." — Hazel Rochman, July 1, 2012

Australia's search and rescue agency has been criticised in a classified government report as not being proactive enough in helping an asylum seeker boat that had made more than 16 calls for help over two days before eventually capsizing, killing more than 100 men.
The report into the incident, which has been kept under wraps since the tragedy unfolded in June last year, also revealed there was criticism of the Australian Maritime Safety Authority for handing over responsibility for the stricken boat to its Indonesian counterpart BASARNAS because of its limited ability to conduct long-range search and rescue operations.

Communication examined following boat tragedy
Language barriers between Indonesian maritime search and rescue authorities and their Australian counterparts are being scrutinised at an inquest into the deaths of 17 asylum seekers in June last year.
The report by Customs and Border Protection was tendered in the Western Australian Coroners Court on Wednesday during the resumption of an inquest into the sinking of the boat that became known as the Kaniva or the SIEV 358 on June 21 last year.
It is believed there were 214 men on the boat; 210 were from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran and four were Indonesian crew members. Seventeen drowned and more than 80 are still missing believed dead.
The inquest is looking into the identities of the men who died, the cause of death, the circumstances in which the boat sank, the rescue efforts and communications between BASARNAS and AMSA.
Details in the classified report emerged while AMSA manager Alan Lloyd was giving evidence about Australia's response to the boat's calls for help.
Under questioning from the counsel assisting the inquest, Marco Tedeschi, and WA Coroner Alastair Hope, Mr Lloyd admitted that AMSA and BASARNAS had never got down to discussing the ''nitty gritty'' of who had the right boats and planes to assist in such a situation.
Mr Lloyd said the incident was transferred to the Indonesians under the correct protocols because it was in Indonesia's search and rescue zone, and it was up to Indonesia to determine its response.
But it is also revealed in the report - much of which has been redacted - that AMSA was warned at the height of the incident that Indonesia did not have the capability to take over the search and rescue, and that it was not sending any boats. Despite that, AMSA still transferred responsibility to the Indonesians.
Mr Lloyd said it was quite clear that Indonesia had accepted co-ordination for the incident and it was not up to AMSA to determine what action BASARNAS would take.
Mr Lloyd has also told the inquest that, despite all the phone calls and reports that the boat was travelling at just one knot and at times drifting, AMSA did not consider the boat was in a distress situation and therefore did not issue an emergency broadcast to other ships in the area until days later, when the boat was seen capsized.
The inquest is continuing.

Hi, I am somewhat new to wordpress and know very little about it.
For my website I use Inkthemes Golden Eagle theme.
When I post a "Page" there is a "Visual" Tab that you can enter text and it gives options for font colors, bold, italics, etc, and it displays the text without code. Then there is a "text" tab that shows the same text but with all of the code as well.
My problem is that the "Visual" Tab has disappeared. I don't know if I deleted it or if I clicked on something by accident that hid it from view.
Any help or advice would is much appreciated. Thanks.

I am 5'2," and this ball is too small for me to use the way I expected (core exercises). I went by the size guidelines for my height. I have tried a larger one before and prefer it. It is hard to inflate this ball firmly, and when I sit on it, my knees are way above my hips. Also, the pump comes apart easily, letting out the air when you try to inflate it.
- How accurate was the sizing? accurate
Wrote about this above in review of 65 cm stability ball and gave them both 5 star rating.
Easy to use,color was accurate, as expected
it arrived on time and in good shape
Great size... easy to inflate and dis-inflate. Air does not leak out. I am happy with my purchase.
Dr suggested I get this to use for back problems so far I haven't seen any change but it is a bit to eairly
Easy to inflate. Stays inflated. Appropriate size. Nice bright color pink.
Great ball, easy to use, blows up easily and seems durable
Bought this for daughter. She loves it. We both use it. Great product great price.
This ball was perfect as I am short and needed a smaller ball than the average ball. I was very lucky to find it and who doesn't love pink.
Just what I was looking for. Perfect size and the pump was included.
This ball is a good size to use when arising. It's stable and strong.
Sitting on it right now. It fit perfect in my Gaiam Ball chair.
Worked great, but I use it for work and one of the office cat's popped it :(
This is exactly as pictured/described. Just an FYI to those who are worried about size, I would recommend a size up if you plan to do situps/etc on this. It definitely does the trick (I can still do situps), but it was just a little smaller than I had expected. Granted, I didnt measure the ball at the gym to see if it would be the same size, incase anyone else is in the same boat as me -would prefer one size up.
I would defintely recommend this product!! If your looking for a way to work out your abs this is what you want. The ball is extremely easy to use and comes with easy to read directions and a helpful guide that shows you multiple ways to use the ball. I love this product and have already gotten tighter abs in just one week.
- How accurate was the sizing? extremeley accurate
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. quality was very good, the stability ball's material is very thick and flexible
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? yes
I'm 5'4 and its a great size for me. the last one I had was to big this one is a lot easy to use. its good for short people and kids.
- How accurate was the sizing? accurate
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. very good
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? yes

The Pulse of Baking Article Archive
Add customers with non-traditional outlets
Question: I've spoken with retail bakers who in recent years have opened cold-spots in indoor food markets, farmers markets and other uncommon locations. A couple of nearby sites seem to be promising, but I'm unsure of what to consider. Do you have any suggestions?
Retail bakery/supermarket partnerships? Sure
Question: Our (retail/specialty wholesale) bakery has a great reputation for high-quality products. Our community has several supermarkets; one has an in-store bakery. Should I consider wholesaling my products to the supermarkets?
Surprising nutrition, flavor from seeds
Question: A few months ago, I added high-quality variety breads and rolls to my bakery's lineup of sweet goods and cookies. Now I want to expand the bread list, but I don't have extra time to do it. I've heard that adding seeds could help. Any suggestions?
Harness the power of social media
Question: I recognize that I must become social media savvy in order to grow my bakery business. But the mushrooming growth of social media sites is intimidating. How do I get into social networking without becoming overwhelmed?
Protect your online reputation
Question: About two months ago, I learned that my bakery was getting negative reviews on Yelp and nasty comments on Facebook. Turns out that an employee whom I had let go for cause started the postings and encouraged friends to do the same. I believe in free speech, but this is ridiculous. What can I do?
Is your pricing keeping pace with costs?
Question: When the price of ingredients went through the roof in 2008, we increased our retail prices after profitability was becoming seriously compromised. We recovered our profit levels, but several good customers complained about the increases. More recently, other operating expenses continue to increase, putting pressure on profits. We don't want to anger customers. What's a better way to raise prices?
Tap mobile apps to tap more sales
Question: Our 25-year-old son says we're missing sales by not offering a mobile app to link iPads, iPhones and Androids to our bakery-café's website. "That's how people my age are shopping," he tells us. What gives—is he right?
Top quality trumps variety when selecting fruit ingredients
Cake sales in my retail bakery are good, but I would like to give them a boost. Pastry chefs on TV cable shows praise the appeal of tropical fruit flavors such as mango, guava and papaya. Could adding some of these flavors spark my cake and pastry sales?
Let premium chocolate help build bakery sales
Question: I'm sure our bakery is similar to other full-line operations in that we use a lot of chocolate. It's good-quality chocolate, but it's not premium grade, which costs more. Would the extra expense for top-quality chocolate pay off?
'Gourmet' donuts? Believe it
Question: As the economy slogs on, I'm searching for opportunities to inject life into sales at my retail bakery. Gourmet, or upscale, donuts are one such example. The term, "gourmet donuts," sounds like an oxymoron; still, some specialty donut shops are scoring sales. What can I learn from them?
Roll in sales with rolled fondant
Question: We're getting more requests for rolled fondant cakes. We do a good business in traditional buttercream cakes, and I'm skittish about bringing on a product that's very labor-intensive. Do you have any suggestions as to how I may approach this?
Big market awaits in social networks
Question: I'm a bakery field merchandiser for a large supermarket chain in the Northeast. Everywhere I go, every store I visit, I see—and hear—people using smart phones to communicate on Facebook and Twitter. This form of connecting seems so obvious for in-store bakeries. What's happening?
Inject life into impulse sales
Question: Like other supermarket in-stores, my company's bakeries have taken hits during the recession. Impulse sales seem to be most-affected. I would appreciate any suggestions to give them a boost.
Crank up in-store sales with creative cookies
Question: For many years, cookie sales along with cake sales have formed the bedrock that supports our in-store bakeries. During the recession, however, growth in cookie sales slipped some. Do you have any ideas on how we can put more growth back into cookies?
Green in-store bakeries article
Question: At a recent trade show, a couple of exhibitors talked about how in-store bakeries will become involved as more supermarket companies start or expand recycling and energy conservation programs. What should I be watching for?
Smaller product sizes, larger margins
Question: Our in-stores have offered cake and pie slices for about five years. Most customers are singles or couples who simply don't want to waste product from whole sizes. Consumers generally seem to be more interested in eating better. Does this apparent trend also offer potential for small product sizes?
Gluten-free is no fad
Question: It seems that in the healthy baking arena demand is growing for gluten-free products. We think our in-stores should offer them but are unsure of their pros and cons. Any ideas?
Make in-store demos value-added events
Question: We sample bakery foods in our in-stores and occasionally have demos (product demonstrations). However, the effort has little impact on what's important—sales. Do you have a suggestion on how to improve the promotions?
Regional bakery foods break new ground
Question: My field merchandisers and I would like to try a bakery product that would be new to our market--something popular elsewhere but untried in our territory. Do you know any in-store operators who have done this?
Fill sales dips with unique promotions
Question: During the many years I've been involved in in-store baking, sales trends have nearly always tracked like a roller-coaster ride, cresting at each holiday and then dipping until the next holiday. This has occurred regardless of good or bad economic times. Like other operators, we've used promotions based on deals with suppliers, but afterward sales have fallen off. Do you know of any tactics to minimize the sales dips?
BakeMark: Fine-tune in-store bakery production
Question: I agree with the notion that no in-store bakery can be all things to all customers if it wants to remain in business. An in-store operator must limit products to a manageable number of SKUs and then choose the appropriate production method (scratch/mix, frozen raw and par-bake, and thaw-and-sell) for each product. We're still struggling with this situation. Does any operator have recent experience dealing with this?
Chocolate: in-stores' recession fighter
Question: As the economy slogs on, our in-store bakeries need something to inject life into sales. We've toyed with the idea of using chocolate as an ingredient. But, preparing chocolate can be tricky, and good chocolate is expensive. Is now a good time to consider this?
Take pies from common to coveted
Question: Cheap commodity pies unfortunately persist throughout the in-store baking industry. They drive-down consumers' expectations of in-store pies, and they don't return real CTO. Some one- to five-unit operators have scored success with gourmet pies. Have any larger supermarket chains done it?
Put accountability in employees' hands
Question: Our central bakery, which supplies five in-store bakeries, runs three shifts, seven days a week, which requires associated cross-training at several different production stations. Maintaining product consistency and finding and retaining high-quality associates are challenges. How can we improve these issues?
Optimize crusty bread sales
Question: Our bakeries have seen some improvement in sales this year after 18 months of slight declines. However, one category, crusty and artisan breads and rolls, still is experiencing flat to lower sales. Do you have suggestions as to how we can put some life back into these products?
Grab on-the-go bakery sales
Question: I've read articles describing how consumers during the recession have turned to supermarkets for on-the-go foods and away from restaurants and fast-food outlets. Our bakeries and delis could do a better job of capturing such sales. Do you have any suggestions from operators that do this well?
Make in-store cross-selling work
Question: I recently visited relatives in San Francisco, who shop a local independent supermarket operation with a handful of stores. The in-store bakeries and other perimeter departments do a bang-up job of cross-merchandising. A bakery manager told me that her store regularly has such promotions and that they always give her sales big bumps. I'm a bakery merchandiser in a large chain. What are some ways I can improve cross-merchandising efforts?
Service sales: Bring back customers
Question: I've been in the in-store baking industry for almost 30 years. During the last 20 years, in-stores gradually have moved toward more self-service and away from service sales to reduce labor costs. Our operation is no different. At this year's International Dairy-Deli-Bakery Association show, I learned that some in-store operators are bringing back more service. What gives?
Adapt to demand for smaller product sizes
Question: More in-store customers are asking for products in smaller sizes, such as cake slices and half loaves of bread. This is creating something of a dilemma for our bakery managers. If more sales come from smaller sizes, unit volume may grow, but sales dollars will decline. How are other in-store operators adjusting to this apparent trend?
Trim stales, increase sales
Question: We see differences in shrink (stales) rates across our bakeries—as much as 4% (of total bakery sales). We do a good job of monitoring shrink with a new scanning program, so our recordkeeping is accurate. How can we get some consistency from store to store?
Make no-sugar bakery sales successful
In the last Pulse of Baking, reader A.C. of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., sought information about the market for no-sugar bakery foods. We reported trends in the growth of diagnosed diabetes and improvements in the quality and taste of no-sugar bakery products. In this issue, we look at how an in-store operator is building its no-sugar bakery sales.
Boost in-store breakfast sales
Question: I've been in the in-store baking business for more than 30 years. During previous recessions, in-stores benefitted because consumers ate out less often and frequently purchased products from the bakery and deli to take home. Is this recession having the same effect?
No-sugar bakery foods: Ready to grow?
Question: We hear much about the alarming growth of diabetes, and our in-store bakery managers hear more requests for no-sugar products. Unfortunately, no-sugar items historically haven't tasted good. How much potential does no-sugar bakery have, and how can we go after it?
Clean-label bakery foods: Right for your in-stores?
Question: More consumers apparently are reading ingredient labels. Our bakery managers tell us more customers are asking questions about all-natural ingredients. If we move toward an all-natural approach, we will need to develop a clean-label program. Which points should we consider?Return to top

I am an ex employee of Body of Change (training general manager)
Body of Change does not care about its clients, it is a mill to SELL training to unwitting people who get douped into needing a trainer to "guide them". If you need a personal trainer please do research on who you are looking to hire. BOC is only there to lock people in to long term contracts so they are now paying absorbant rates for training, plus paying for the GYM membership also.
To top it off the trainers only make $6 per session, not even close to industry standards. For the most part trainers are very young and inexperianced, that is not to say that they do not have good trainers, some, very few, are gifted trainers. Please do not fall into the trap, you will be charged no matter what, the contracts are iron clad, so ther is no getting out of it, you get charged wheter you use sessions or not. They use High pressure sales tactics, that are drilled into every "assistant manger" to con potential clients into signing a contract that affords them nothing but headaches, Cancel your credit card that they are using because it wont stop the billing, complain to the state department about unfair business pratices, if you go to the BBB it will resolve nothing, the BBB is paid to tell you what the company wants you to hear. Please head this advice from an ex training general manager, I trained some of the best scammers in the gyms today!!

I just downloaded and installed Types, and it's giving me fits.
Whenever I try to delete something, I either get a blank screen or some bit of Javascript, such as:
{"output":"","execute":"jQuery(\"#wpcf-list-activate-member\").parents(\"tr\").css(\"background-color\", \"#FF0000\").fadeOut();","wpcf_nonce_ajax_callback":"09a728d917"}
This was displayed when I tried deleting a custom post type that I'd just created.
The only other plugins that I currently have installed are Widget Logic and Image Widget, and de-activating them had no effect on this weird behavior.
Anyone else having this kind of trouble?

Can we still win it?
the EPL I mean. We are 10 pts off the top and if we beat the gooners and the mancs then they just need to drop a further 7/8 points respectively.
Start praying to your gods. Ommmmmmmmmmmm......
cluck cluckSort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
No we cant win it , though its quite feasible that arsenal drop enough points and finish fourth to our third. We just have to concentate on finishing the season strongly and our CL run.
We have only lost three times this season though which is good going the only difference between us and chelsea at the moment is that they were winning scrappy games 1-0 and we were drawing them 0-0 1-1.

METAIRIE, La. (AP) -- Saints starting cornerback Tracy Porter will miss the rest of his rookie season after dislocating his right wrist during Monday night's game against Minnesota.
Porter had surgery on the wrist and the Saints decided Tuesday afternoon to place him on injured reserve.
Head coach Sean Payton discussed the injury earlier in the day but did not know at the time how long Porter would be sidelined.
Porter hurt the wrist while trying to defend a desperation heave by Minnesota's Gus Frerotte. Bernard Berrian caught the pass for the tying touchdown as he collided with teammate Aundrae Allison, Porter and Saints safety Josh Bullocks near the goal line. The Vikings went on to win, 30-27.
Porter was the Saints' second-round draft pick last spring and won the starting job in training camp. Through the first five games of the season, he's been credited with 25 tackles, including a sack, to go with one interception and five passes defended.

Last Tuesday, a Muslim woman was publicly forced to remove her clothes by four armed policemen while sunbathing on a beach in Nice, France. Her attire, black leggings, a blue tunic and matching headscarf, was judged in violation of the recent "burkini ban" introduced in response to the July 14 terror attack in the French coastal town. Her ticket read that she was not wearing "an outfit respecting good morals and secularism". Judges upheld the ban, as 'the clothing could be viewed as a "provocation exacerbating tensions."
Among the 86 victims of the Nice attack who were celebrating the unity of the French nation on Bastille Day were 30 Muslims, some of them wearing headscarfs. And yet, the city of Nice, along with an increasing number of cities across France, legally branded the wearers of an Australian piece of clothing as representatives of Islamic terrorism because the association might arise and cause offense in the minds of others. 70 years after the modern bikini scandalized France, by which time it was still banned or discouraged in much of Europe and the US, local governments went from outlawing revealing swimwear in the name of good morals to outlawing modest swimwear in the name of good morals and secularism.
Terrorism-induced mass-hysteria has once again made "good morals" a matter of law.

Radicals long have used the judicial system as an effective last-ditch weapon to circumvent decisions by the legislative branch. This past Friday, one of their leading lights, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, better known as ACORN, showed the advantages of having a sympathetic federal judge in one's corner. This past Friday, U.S. District Judge Nina Gershon of the Eastern District of New York, a Clinton appointee, issued a preliminary injunction against the recent congressional cutoff of funds for the New Orleans-based nonprofit network.
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, has a justly earned reputation this decade for voter registration fraud, embezzlement and other illegal acts. Yet according to an eagerly-awaited internal assessment released yesterday, the radical nationwide nonprofit network's main, if not sole, problem is inadequate employee training and oversight. The audit, supervised by former Massachusetts Attorney General Scott Harshbarger, had been prompted by employees of ACORN offices in different cities caught in a video sting this summer giving advice on how to hide assets and falsify loan documents. The New Orleans-based "anti-poverty" organization and its defenders see vindication. Critics see a whitewash, a set of rigged conclusions. The latter view is hard to avoid.
No organization likes bad publicity. And when allied organizations create it, disavowing ties to them becomes attractive. The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) has exercised that option - at least on the surface. On Wednesday, September 30, the union's secretary-treasurer, Anna Burger, told a congressional panel that her organization no longer has a working relationship with the New Orleans-based nationwide nonprofit "anti-poverty" network ACORN, an acronym for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. ACORN, as almost everyone in this country with a pulse knows by now, has been the target of federal and state investigations into a wide range of criminal activity. A very embarrassing and widely-aired homemade undercover video hasn't helped its case. Yet all the same, the union's move looks like a case of bait and switch.
Where there's smoke, there's fire. And in the case of the radical nonprofit network, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, the fire is more than five times as bad as originally reported. According to results from an internal audit released yesterday, top ACORN members embezzled around $5 million during its years under the helm of founder Wade Rathke. That's well above the roughly $950,000 that Rathke's brother, former ACORN chief financial officer Dale, reportedly stole during 1999-2000 - and that Wade Rathke ordered covered up lest the incident create bad publicity. Fittingly, current ACORN chief organizer Bertha Lewis claims the latest allegations to be "completely false."
With each passing week, the shadowy radical political network that has made possible the career of President Barack Obama is being dragged into the sunlight. And almost all paths of this network, directly or indirectly, lead to or from the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), a virtual corruption machine of the Democratic Party Left. One of the more disturbing aspects of the Obama-ACORN connection is that the White House political affairs director is one Patrick Gaspard.
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, is fast becoming radioactive to any organization contemplating doing business (or further business) with it. Federal agencies are no exception to the growing list of entities that recently have dropped their ties to the New Orleans-based nonprofit network. The Internal Revenue Service announced yesterday that it no longer would include ACORN as a partner in its Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program.
NLPC has asked JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon to end financial support for Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), and its affiliates. According to the 2007 tax return for the JPMorgan Chase Foundation, the most recent available, ACORN Housing, Inc. was the recipient of a million dollar grant in 2007. Another grant of $25,000 was made to the ACORN Institute. In a letter to Dimon, I warned:
Continued identification with ACORN harms the company's brand name and reputation, and carries special risks for this company, a recipient of taxpayer TARP funds. The New York Times has identified you as President Obama's "favorite banker."
Continued identification with ACORN harms the company's brand name and reputation, and carries special risks for this company, a recipient of taxpayer TARP funds. The New York Times has identified you as President Obama's "favorite banker."
One of the defining hallmarks of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, is its propensity for using front organizations to advance its goals. The New Orleans-based nonprofit organization has fully 360 subsidiary and adjunct groups. Lately, one of its affiliates, a misleadingly-named nonprofit entity called New York Agency for Community Affairs, Inc. (NYACA), has been at the center of attention. A recent probe by a consortium of New York City newspapers shows NYACA thus far in this year alone has received hundreds of thousands of dollars from New York state and local taxpayers for political campaign services.
A new book by Barron's reporter Erin Arvedlund asserts that banking giant JPMorgan Chase became aware of Madoff's Ponzi scheme months before his arrest, prompting the bank to liquidate its positions in a Madoff-related fund. Yet, the bank continued to accept deposits into Madoff's main account at the bank from unsuspecting investors who were about to lose everything.
NLPC is a critic of JPMorgan Chase's support for political and social causes that are contrary to the bank's interests and hostile to the capitalist system itself, such as ACORN. Although these new revelations are a separate controversy, both reflect an apparent willingness by the firm to work with shady enterprises if it is perceived to be in its own interest.
Jason Sanders was an adviser to the Tides Foundation, a San Francisco philanthropy that for over three decades has been a major funding source for progressive-Left projects on issues such as global sustainability, reproductive justice, and AIDS treatment. What his employer didn't know is that his own favorite cause was himself. This past March 25, Sanders pleaded guilty in San Francisco federal court to embezzling $132,600 from the foundation over a three-year period. He had been indicted last August following an internal audit. From February 2005 to March 2008, federal prosecutors charged, Sanders, now 38, stole funds from the nonprofit group.
