Selling Products in Pennsylvania
The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board has several different means of selling products in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Supplier representatives wishing to sell their products in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania are welcome to submit their items using the means listed below. Specific details regarding each avenue are outlined in the Procedures & Policies for Vendors Manual.
Regular Stock Merchandise
The Bureau of Product Selection, Product and Category Management Division reviews new regular stock listings two times per year. There are several different steps a new supplier partner must meet prior to submitting an item for listing and we encourage all potential suppliers to review the Stock Listing Policies section of the Procedures & Policies for Vendors Manual for additional information.
Bulk Alcohol Purchase Order
Indemnity Form
Instant Redeemable Coupon Worksheet
Instructions for Invoicing
Manufacturer's Rebate Offer Form
On-Pack Request Form
Regular and Luxury Merchandise Purchase Order Standard Terms and Conditions
Request for Shelf Talkers/Bottle Hangers Form
Vendor Allowance Portal (SPA) Training Guide
Vendor Code of Conduct
Questions regarding regular stock listings or category shelf sets can be directed to: email@example.com
Luxury Products
The Luxury Product Management Division is responsible for the Luxury selection within our Premium Collection retail stores. The Luxury Division evaluates fine wines from around the world and reviews each for their soundness, price/value relationship, and market appeal.
Luxury wines differ from regular stock because they are limited in distribution. Questions regarding Luxury wine can be directed to: email@example.com
Our e-commerce website seeks to offer consumers highly allocated items where only one to five cases may be available in Pennsylvania. The site often looks for products from small producers and start-up companies looking to enter the market with unique products. Collector's items, eclectic merchandise and niche products are also considered.
Items may be submitted for review directly to: firstname.lastname@example.com
Chairman's Selection™
The Chairman's Selection™ program wines are hand selected, using Pennsylvania Wine & Spirits Stores' buying power and longstanding relationships with wineries to provide savvy consumers both world-renowned wines and undiscovered gems.
Chairman's Selection™ wines are typically a minimum of 40 percent below nationally quoted prices, often at the best prices nationwide or exclusive to Pennsylvania.
Questions regarding the Chairman's Selection™ program can be directed to: email@example.com
Special Products
The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board is required to obtain any available wine or spirit that is not carried by the Board for customers in Pennsylvania in the supplier's minimum shipping quantity. The supplier's minimum shipping quantity is the least number of bottles that the supplier is willing to ship to any location within the state. The minimum quantity may be as small as one bottle or as large as a case.
Additional information regarding the Special Order Division may be directed to: firstname.lastname@example.com

Jed Delmonico didn't have the vision nearly 30 years ago that the insurance company he was starting up would someday be passed to another generation.
But since his eldest son, J.D. Delmonico, joined the firm seven years ago right out of college, the benefit has been greater than keeping it all in the family.
In the time since J.D. joined the Delmonico Insurance Agency, revenues have doubled, its client base has grown into the thousands and the company has added staff at its Lodi Street office and opened a second location in Skaneateles.
How does Jed explain that growth?
He says that running his own business required that he devote a majority of his attention and energies to managing its operation. His motivation was to work for himself and reap the rewards that come from working hard. There was little time to break away from the day-to-day administration to focus on growing the business.
"We've been able to keep J.D. away from that side," the father says, "and give him the opportunity to create and bring in new business."
The result is a family-owned business that caters to the needs of other family-owned businesses. J.D. estimates that 95 percent of the company's clients are family businesses within a 60-mile radius of Onondaga County.
"We have family businesses with as many as 1,000 employees and we have family businesses that have two employees," says J.D. "But that is what Central New York really is. The vast majority of businesses here are family-run businesses."
"Family is a priority," says Jed. "Not just our family but our employees' family."
When Jed started the business in 1983, one of his main priorities was to make the business a great place to work.
"I want the staff to be happy to come to work every Monday morning," he says. "It's a nice feeling for owners to know we are all on the same team and share the same goals."
To help navigate the issues and challenges that come along with running a successful family business, Jed and J.D. have turned to the New York Family Business Center, a nonprofit resource center.
"The center been a wonderful opportunity for us," Jed says.
J.D. says the center has been able to put them in touch with other family businesses that might be struggling with similar issues. "It has opened our eyes that no matter what kind of business you're in, family businesses all have similar issues and problems that we have to work through," he says. "We're in the insurance business, but we can talk to someone in manufacturing and help each other out."
For both Jed and J.D., making sure that the business has longevity and is something worth passing down to J.D.'s three young boys is a driving force. They believe the keys to success are providing the best quality product and best customer service they possibly can.
"We really do care about our clients and about the business," Jed says. "J.D. has three little boys but we'd like to continue to build this business up to pass along to them."
The Delmonicos consider the Central New York community as part of its extended family and strongly believe that it is important to support that community.
Two years ago, the Delmonicos played an essential role in securing a $5,000 grant from Safeco Insurance to help Skaneateles Ambulance Volunteer Emergency Services (S.A.V.E.S.) purchase new cardiac care equipment.
"We try to give back as much as we can," says Jed. "Central New York has been very good to us. We try to give back to the community that provides so much for us."

Pacquiao has tried just about everything against Marquez. He needs to accept the fact that he's met his match. Marquez has Pacquiao's number and there is nothing Pacquiao can do that Marquez ain't already seen.

The danger is when he leaps in with his jab. If he connects well, it should be OK but if he misses entirely like he did, then that could spell trouble. Still, it didn't help that he tripped up over Marquez's foot. In a few similar situations, Manny was always able to pull back his head just enough to absorb Marquez's punches well or duck Marquez's punches.

Associated Press
CASABLANCA, Morocco (AP) -- The sixth-seeded Federico Delbonis of Argentina edged Canadian qualifier Filip Peliwo 6-2, 6-7 (5), 6-4 Wednesday to reach the quarterfinals of the Grand Prix Hassan II.
Delbonis, who won the Brazil Open last month, broke at 4-4 in the final set. He won six straight games to take the first set and lead 2-0 in the second. But Peliwo, the 2012 world junior champion, fought back to force a tiebreaker and leveled at one set apiece.
Meanwhile, Guillermo Garcia-Lopez and Pablo Carreno Busta of Spain advanced to the second round.
The eighth-seeded Garcia-Lopez beat Mikhail Kukushkin of Kazakhstan 7-6 (5), 7-6 (6) despite making seven double faults. Carreno Busta cruised past Tobias Kamke of Germany 6-1, 6-2.

For tax year 2015, Maryland's personal tax rates begin at 2% on the first $1000 of taxable income and increase up to a maximum of 5.75% on incomes exceeding $250,000 (or $300,000 for taxpayers filing jointly, heads of household, or qualifying widow(ers)). Nonresidents are subject to a special tax rate of 1.25%, in addition to the state income tax rate.
Maryland's 23 counties and Baltimore City also levy a local income tax, which is collected on the resident state tax return as a convenience to local governments.
There are special tax benefits available to taxpayers 65 and older, military retirees, low income families and families paying for child care. The deadline for filing your Maryland income tax is April 18, 2016, if you are filing on a calendar year basis.
Follow the links below for information on Maryland's individual income tax, including what's new for the current tax year, as well as rates, tax legislation, and frequently asked questions. Visit the Filing information section for information on the specifics of tax filing.

Growing up in a sheltered environment, I was never allowed to experience much on my own. No helping in the kitchen, no being a part of the household chores, never straying too far from my mother, no sleepovers, no, no, no, no, no. Rarely a yes. I suppose then it shouldn't have come as much of a shock when I turned into an 18 year old rebel! But that's another blog post
Because of all these built up no's and their effect on my personality, I was determined to be a YES as a mother. Let me clarify my viewpoint.
What is a YES person?
A YES person is a caregiver who allows their children to experience situations and outcomes on their own. They encourage exploring and curiosity in daily life. I will never say no to something just because I don't feel like cleaning it up. I will say yes, because learning is more important to me than a big old mess.
I provide boundaries and limits and safe environments to explore within-but I reserve the word 'No' for dangerous situations.
I always hear people talking about the terrible two's and the even worse three's – – but I am going to have to go ahead and disagree. Can they be a challenging time? Yes. However, if we shift our stance on the challenges, and resist less, the easier a transition it will be. I have found that what makes these periods of time challenging as a parent are the constant power struggles that are being fought. This is a time when kids are beginning to branch out on their own and become independent of us. They are testing the waters and isn't this what we want them to do? My goal as a mother is to raise a happy, healthy, kind, empathetic, successful human. Every moment X is learning from birth to adulthood is an opportunity to practice the skills I want him to possess as an adult. The more he can experience, the more confident in his abilities he will be!
There is nothing I enjoy more than watching Xavier be independent. Just yesterday he asked me to please leave the room so he could "eat with the guys", as he sat and watched a baseball game and cut his own ham with a real knife. I was overwhelmed with joy and such a proud mama.
Natural Consequences
Natural consequences are what happen when parents don't interfere with a learning situation. Cause and effect. I try and make use of natural consequences (NC) whenever I can. X loves to be barefoot, no matter the time of year and it seems the cold doesn't bother him. One example of NC is when Xavier wanted to go outside in barefeet this winter:
X: Ma, I want to go out with naked piggies
Me: It's very cold outside, Xavier
X: That ok, Ma. Pwwweeease? Really want to try it!
Me: You can try it, just let me know if you change your mind and we can put your shoes and socks ok
::::runs out back and right back in again:::::
X: Brrrrrr! Please put shoes and socks on me Ma
Boom. Parenting win right there folks. I did a few things here:
- Avoided a power struggle/argument
- Avoided being the bad guy that said NO
- Let him see for himself that it was cold outside (trust me more?)
While NC can be a great tool, it doesn't always work and I don't always use it. Due to his spirited nature, X is relentless when it comes to getting what he wants. Another story, a sweet treat, no nap – – and there are certain things that are not up for discussion:
- If he is in danger or if the experience would put someone else in danger
- If it involved self care or hygiene (bathing, teeth brushing, eating too many sweets)
I strongly encourage everyone to try these tactics out and see if they are a good fit for your family. It's made life a lot more fun around here that's for sure!

Okay, so I have written about using credit cards for everything we'd normally buy anyway and getting cash back for it. My favorite credit card company, Discover, has apparently created a new card – Discover It.
Looking Into a New Card
Here was a comment that my blogging buddy, Andy from Tight Fisted Miser, left on one of the guest posts here on February 5:
Crystal, you should upgrade your Discover More card to the Discover IT card. The new card has all the same features as the More card but it starts at 1% cash back while the More card starts at just 0.25% cash back. I was able to upgrade mine in about 5 minutes with online chat.
I can't argue with making more cash back, so I checked this new card out. It really does look identical to Discover More except it does simply start at 1% cash back each year without having to hit a certain spending mark. It even has the 5% cash back rotating categories that my card has now. So I logged in to use the online chat yesterday, but all of the chat agents were busy and I was too lazy to call. I'll get my butt into gear tomorrow. 😉
Why I Use Credit Cards
I know most financial blogs dislike and even hate credit cards, but I look at them as a bonus if you can keep your spending in check. If having a card tends to make you spend more freely, than credit cards are not for you.
Mr. BFS and I actually have a problem with spending cash – it just seems to disappear. So credit cards work well for us since the charges just stare at us in the face all month. Plus, I use our credit card statements to keep up with our budget. I just print them out and input our spending into the correct categories on our Excel budget for the month. Plus, I like getting 1-5% cash back on bills and purchases that we would make anyway.
Cash Back 2012
Just to give you an idea, here is what we got back in 2012 for using our credit cards.
Discover Cash Back (we use this for everything but gasoline)
- $580 cash back (redeemed about $300 worth throughout the year in gift cards to get extra cash back, for example, $20 at Bath and Body Works for a $25 gift card)

A high-ranking official from the Commonwealth of the Bahamas might seem an unlikely person to help chart the future course of Charleston's historic preservation efforts, but Davidson L. Hepburn has worn many hats.
As president of the United Nation's 35th General Conference, Hepburn could offer key advice and support to those hoping to make Charleston the first American city placed on the United Nations' World Heritage List.
Hepburn, who currently chairs the Antiquities, Monuments and Museums Corp. of The Bahamas, is in town this week and has been kept very busy.
The idea for his visit took root because of a chance meeting with Lowcountry resident Rusty Denman at a church in the Bahamas. Shortly afterward, the Charleston World Heritage Coalition - the new nonprofit hoping to get the city recognized as a World Heritage Site - invited Hepburn as its guest.
Hepburn's informal visit will raise awareness of the Charleston World Heritage Coalition, and he could offer advice as the coalition's application takes shape, coalition executive director Thomas Aspinwall said.
The United Nations currently recognizes 981 world heritage sites, including the Taj Mahal, the Pyramids of Giza and Machu Picchu. But the United States has only 21 of them - mostly federally owned landmarks, such as the Statue of Liberty, the Grand Canyon and Yosemite National Park.
That's partly because Congress passed a law forbidding any World Heritage application without the consent of 100 percent of the property owners, a hurdle that so far has prevented any of the United States' historic districts from making the list.
Local preservationists had been discouraged from applying because of the daunting task of convincing every homeowner in the district, but this new attempt will knit together about 20 prominent civic and religious buildings.
"Charleston's domestic architecture is certainly important, but we feel the civic, religious and community architecture is representative of a distinctly American city and really the embodiment of the American experience, both good and bad," Aspinwall said.
To enlist Hepburn's help, organizers pulled out all the stops, with a series of dinners in private homes, special tours, a Spoleto performance and meetings with Charleston Mayor Joe Riley, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel, artist Jonathan Green and others.
Hepburn and his wife, Dr. Ada Thompson-Hepburn, met Thursday evening with Historic Charleston Foundation Director Kitty Robinson, Preservation Society of Charleston Chairman Kristopher King and others.
The hour-long discussion ranged from keeping the city's neighborhood authentic to managing tourism to the political challenges of getting designated as a World Heritage Site.
Hepburn offered encouraging words and said Charleston is well on the road to getting listed. "The only thing I can say is for you not to get discouraged," he said. "It's going to happen."
Thompson-Hepburn said she has been impressed to see Charleston for the first time. "It's just wow, wow, wow, wow for 24 hours," she said.
The city's preservation ethic also is stronger than anything found in their home country, Hepburn said.
"In the Bahamas, people just tear down anything, and they tear them down to make parking lots," he said. "I know you have some ideas I can take back to Nassau and put into play."
The Charleston World Heritage Coalition hopes to send off its detailed application to the National Park Service within a few years.
When deemed worthy, the application then would be forwarded to the United Nations' Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, known as UNESCO, which ultimately would vote to accept it, turn it down, or refer it back to the United States for revision. That process could take several more years.
Those working on Charleston's World Heritage application say their success would demonstrate Charleston's excellent quality of life and help attract investment of talent and industry as well as grant money for our cultural and religious institutions.
"World Heritage designation can be used as a platform to achieve other things," Aspinwall said.

— Adapted From "Simple French Desserts" by Jill O'Connor (Chronicle Books, 2000). Makes 8 servings.
2-inch piece fresh ginger
1 cup sugar
3 cups warm water, or less
1 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise
4 firm, barely ripe Bosc pears
1 or 2 tablespoons Poire William or other pear brandy (optional)
1 1/2 pints vanilla ice cream
Chocolate sauce or caramel sauce for serving (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped pistachios for garnish (optional)
1. Peel the ginger and cut into 1/4-inch-thick disks.
2. In a deep saucepan large enough to hold the pear halves in a single layer, combine the ginger, sugar and 1/2 cup of the water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cook the syrup until it turns a medium amber brown. Remove the pan from heat and carefully add the remaining 2 1/2 cups water (you may not need all the water). Stir until the caramel is completely dissolved. Add the vanilla bean to the syrup.
3. Peel the pears, leaving the stems intact. Cut the pears in half lengthwise. Use a melon baller to remove the central core. Draw the melon baller from the core to the top of the pear, removing the interior stem, up to the top of the pear. Add the pears to the caramel syrup, but do not cover the pears completely.
4. Simmer and cook the pears, covered, until they are tender but not mushy when pierced with a sharp knife, 15 to 20 minutes (the length of time depends on the ripeness of the fruit). Stir in the pear brandy, if using.
5. Remove the pan from heat and let the pears cool to room temperature in the liquid. The pears can be served immediately, or covered and refrigerated in the poaching liquid for up to 2 days.
6. To serve, drain the pears and place each pear half on a dessert plate. Place a scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside or on top of the poached pear. Drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce, if using. Sprinkle with the pistachios, if using, and serve immediately.

ADRs, Analysts, and Accuracy: Does Cross Listing in the U.S. Improve a Firm's Information Environment and Increase Market Value?

This paper investigates the relation between cross listing in the U.S., with its resulting commitment to increased disclosure, and the information environment of non-U.S. firms. We find that firms that cross-list on U.S. exchanges have greater analyst coverage and increased forecast accuracy relative to firms that are not cross listed. A time-series analysis shows that the change in analyst coverage and forecast accuracy occurs around cross listing. We also document that firms that have more analyst coverage and higher forecast accuracy have a higher valuation. Further, the change in firm value around cross listing is correlated with changes in the firm's information environment. Our findings support the hypothesis that cross-listed firms have better information environments, which are associated with higher market valuations.

Angels' Scioscia: 'Important week' for Morales
TEMPE, Ariz. – Kendrys Morales' comeback attempt could be entering a critical final phase this week with the possibility of him getting into game action next week for the first time since fracturing his left ankle on May 29, 2010.
"He has some important hurdles this week," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said of the rehabbing slugger. "This will be an important week for him."
Last week, Morales' running program (done in relative privacy on the far fields of the minor-league complex) progressed to running first to third on the curve of the outfield grass. He was scheduled to take that running onto the infield dirt for the first time Monday, without touching the bases. By the end of the week, he could be running the bases normally.
"That window hasn't changed," Scioscia said of getting Morales in game action some time late next week. "Once he repeats (running) the bases and comes out of it well ... he's ready for games at some level."
That first introduction to a game setting in over 21 months could come in minor-league camp games which begin on March 15. The Angels would be able to more closely control Morales' running in the loosely-formatted games, pulling him for pinch-runners while continuing to get him at-bats.
"This is an important first step," Scioscia said of Morales running on the dirt infield. "You have to be able to run at a certain level to play this game. He's not going to run like Peter Bourjos. But you have to break out of the batter's box and run at a certain level and keep a degree of comfort in his ankle to where he can swing the bat.
"Those hurdles have not been crossed yet."
Nor has sliding. At some point this week, Morales also have to test his ankle – and his own confidence in it – with some sliding practice, most likely starting on grass and progressing from there "so he can get a comfort level with that."
The Angels entered spring training guardedly optimistic that Morales would finally be able to return this season and team with Albert Pujols in the middle of their lineup. The first weeks of spring training have featured steady progress with no setbacks in Morales' program. But Scioscia said he still views the prospect of Morales' return with caution.
"If you want to take a realistic look at this, you're (waiting to see him) playing a whole season," Scioscia said. "We're going to hopefully get him to where he's functional, where he can maintain it, hopefully have him in the lineup as much as we can and evaluate it as we go and, by the end of the year, have an idea of how he held up.
"We're definitely excited about where he is with an understanding that the last 10 percent a player is trying to get is sometimes elusive. We don't anticipate that. But if your question is – has our comfort level soared because of where he is right now? I'll say it has gradually increased from when we saw him taking ground balls and swinging in January. That comfort level has grown."

This is a very important month in Curve history, with 19 home dates serving as a significant barometer of the interest fans either still do or do not have in the 11-season-old franchise.
Prior to Saturday's terrific holiday turnout, the largest crowd this season at Blair County Ballpark was 5,321. Just two years ago, the team averaged 5,318 fans for the entire season. The average this season is 3,976, down 17.7 percent from the figure of 4,829 this time a year ago.
We've previously discussed many of the factors behind the dropoff - economy, poor weather, the been-there, done-that feeling for some fans - but one thing that cannot be blamed is a lack of good-faith effort by owner Bob Lozinak and his management team.
The Curve slashed ticket and food prices well before the season started. They also have instituted numerous cost-cutting measures, established special ticket deals and giveaways and recently announced a fundraising campaign that provides local groups an easy way to raise money by selling tickets to games later this month.
Short of devaluing the product by giving away thousands of tickets per night, Lozinak and the Curve have done about everything they can to pack more butts into the seats at Blair County Ballpark.
Former owner Chuck Greenberg was tremendous for the Curve, and the Curve were tremendous for him. He increased the franchise's notoriety, and the franchise returned the favor by giving him a platform to enhance his own reputation.
Greenberg is a shrewd businessman who came along at the right time and made a lot of money by owning the Curve for seven years. He also got out at the perfect time as he could see the writing on the wall through the steadily decreasing attendance and general declining interest in the franchise.
Lozinak made his millions owning McDonald's franchises and is a low-key person, so he's not in the minor league baseball business to make a lot of money or schmooze with executives. His primary interest is owning a team in his hometown because of the pride and joy he gets out of it, not the perks or the money.
Regardless, Lozinak has every reason to be concerned about the big attendance drop this year. The concern could be seen in his face and heard in his voice on a few occasions this season when he glanced out over particularly small crowds at BCB.
What makes this month so important is that, no matter how much he may want the franchise to remain in his family for decades, Lozinak needs to see that the people of Altoona and the region are not taking the Curve for granted.
He needs to see lots more people in the stands.
Having 19 home games in July is a godsend for the Curve, who used to post numerous 6,000-plus crowds per season and need to pull in that many people several times this month.
Sure, the franchise padded attendance numbers in the past. All minor league teams do. But there also were many legitimate huge crowds of 7,000 or more, as evidenced by the eye test of the packed upper deck, left field bleachers, grassy bank and overflowing concourse.
Those gigantic crowds have been non-existent so far this year, and they are badly needed because that's the only way to boost a sagging attendance average.
This is the month things have to turn around for the Curve. If they don't, it might never happen, and the once-great franchise may be unable to avoid taking a step toward minor league mediocrity.

In Spain, pets are sold much like groceries, but every year more than 140,000 animals are abandoned when their owners grow tired of them.
A new law will block the sale of dogs and cats in pet shops after government figures revealed that at least 110,000 dogs and 33,000 cats were abandoned last year, the highest level in Europe.

Don't bug me!
These days, we're pestered by so many irritants that it's a real bother trying not to get exasperated.
(''Don't be such a grumpy, old man!" Pardon me. That was my wife, who is looking over my shoulder as I write.)
You want to see grumpy? There's a whole science behind what bugs us and why.
Great. Researchers won't even let us get peeved by pet nuisances without turning it into a science project. They'll probably test us on it, too.
(My wife: ''Tests are fun.'')
Oh, you were one of THOSE pesky students. Figures.
Anyway, to be clear, I am not talking about the fossil of an ant as big as a hummingbird that was found in Wyoming. Bruce Archibald, a paleoentomologist at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, announced last week that the monster ant was 2 inches long.
(''Wow! That would bug me.'')
That's another thing that beleaguers me - I warm up to a topic and my wife changes its direction.
Look, when I said ''bug,'' I didn't mean a bug bug, but a bugging kind of bug. Got it?
(''A dinosaur ant in the house still would bug me.'')
If you must read over my shoulder, pay attention. I wasn't talking about dinosaurs. I was talking about bugs. I mean, things that bug us.
Anyway, a new book called ''Annoying: The Science of What Bugs Us'' was written by a couple of NPR guys named Joe Palca and Flora Lichtman.
(''Is NPR still on the air?'')
We are not talking about perturbing public radio with funding cuts. We are talking about the science of what bugs us. Please stop interrupting.
According to the authors from NPR, which may or may not still be on the air ...
(''I just checked. They're on. Want to listen?'')
Not now! Anyway, the science of annoyance says that to be buggy, a thing should be ''temporary, unpleasant and unpredictable, like a boring meeting or mosquito bites.''
(''Or ant bites. From giant, dinosaur ants.'')
Um, yeah. So, think about the guy at the restaurant talking on the cell phone. People at other tables are talking to each other. Why is it that only the cell phone talker chafes the soul?
(''Maybe he's calling the exterminator for the dinosaur ants.'')
It is not! It's because phone talkers practically shout, and usually about things we don't care to know. Palca and Lichtman say it fits the description of unpleasant and temporary. We hope it's temporary. Actually, we don't know how long the call will last and can't do anything about it.
(''We could send the dinosaur ants over to carry away the phone.'')
Hmm. Wait, they're fossils! As I was saying... another reason phone calls bug us is it is impossible not to listen. We're hardwired to follow conversations. We can't turn them off. And when half of the conversation is missing and there's no way we can understand what's going on and we wished the person would just shut up, it's particularly agitating.
(''Then it's a good thing that everyone can hear both sides of this conversation.'')
Actually, I was thinking... um, never mind.
Yes, dear?
(''People can be annoying. Deal with it.'')
Sigh. That's the true science of it all.

AT THE END of the day, DeSean Jackson forgave his own sins, and those of his offense. Chip Kelly, to his credit, did not. Michael Vick worked both sides of the aisle, but when pushed a little, sounded less like a chip off the old Chip and more like the receiver he gently chided for being "irrational."
"Maybe we need to score 37 points to win this game," Vick said, as if proposing the preposterous.
But there's nothing preposterous about it. Not with a defense that has now played six inauspicious quarters of football after that Holy Cow first half against Washington a week ago. Not with the unsightly talent in the secondary, talent that is highly unlikely to be upgraded over the next 4 months of football.

Twin bombings targeting the police in the northwest Pakistani city of Peshawar killed five people, including a senior police officer.
In the first attack, Deputy Superintendent of Police Rasheed Khan, his driver, a guard and a passer-by were killed and seven others injured when a suicide bomber, traveling on foot, detonated 15 pounds of explosives, police official Shafqat Malik said, The Associated Press reported.
Just miles from the first attack, terrorists detonated a roadside bomb as a patrol car passed by, killing one policeman and injuring three others, police official Fazle Wahid said.
No terror group has claimed responsibility for the bombings, but police suspect the Pakistani Taliban, who are heavily entrenched in the country's northwestern tribal area near Peshawar.

Secretary-General Urges Action against Climate Change during Arctic Circle Visit
2 September 2009: UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon ended his trip to Norway with a boat trip to the polar ice of the Arctic Circle, where he stood on the ice and urged world leaders to take action against climate change.
Ban said that he was informed by scientists that global warming is altering the Arctic faster than any other area. Before leaving Norway, Secretary-General Ban visited the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, in Norway, and highlighted that it represents a creative initiative to fight for long-term food security in the face of climate change.[UN News Report][Statement at Svalbard Global Seed Vault]

CHARLES TOWN - The phrase 'never say never' could easily be Janet Harner's mantra, because she prides herself on being a life learner who constantly takes on new challenges and shares her experience with others.
A Baltimore native with a thriving banking career before moving here 33 years ago, Harner has been with Jefferson County Schools since 1986 when she was hired as a secretary in the district's finance department.
Just three years later, she moved into her current executive secretary position in the superintendent's office. Since then, Harner has worked for seven superintendents, including Susan Wall, who now holds that post.

Janet Harner, who has been employed with Jefferson County Schools for 27 years, prides herself on being a life-long learner and encourages others to also keep growing. In 2012, she became the first person in her family to graduate from college. As part of her academic credits, Harner accompanied a group from Shepherd University to China where she climbed part of the Great Wall of China. Harner is shown here with a Chinese family she met during the visit and they have corresponded with her via email since she returned home.
A strong proponent of education, Harner knows she is in the right place because education has been so important in her own life.
"I think it is important to continue to grow and continue to learn in order to keep up. Education is especially important now because the world is changing so rapidly. And the world of education is also changing, especially this year with the new legislative mandates that are taking place in West Virginia," she said.
No stranger to challenges, Harner achieved a lifelong dream in spring 2012 when she was the first of her family to graduate from college. Despite having spent the previous two years recovering from a broken hip and elbow, she graduated from Shepherd University and was also inducted into the honor society of Phi Kappa Phi.
Her final three credits were earned by visiting China along with a professor and classmates from a business administration class, Harner said.
Harner, who earned the nickname Granny Janney, credits them for giving her the courage to climb part of the Great Wall of China.
Prior to attending Shepherd University, Harner graduated with honors from Blue Ridge Community and Technical College with an associate of applied science degree.
She also credits her parents for having stressed the importance of learning and moving ahead.
Although her father didn't complete grade school and her mother only finished 10th grade, they were wise about life, Harner said.
"My dad always said to take advantage of every opportunity you have to learn and grow, because your education is something no one can take away from you. And this advice has really been the foundation for my life," she said with a smile, recalling early days at a business college that also helped shape her character.
"I wrote with the left hand, but as a 'lefty' I had to overcome the obstacle of writing shorthand using a fountain pen without smudging ink across the page," said Harner, who ultimately graduated first in her class and still uses her shorthand skills while taking notes for minutes at board of education meetings.
In addition to her job, Harner also shares with others and encourages them to also move ahead.
A PASS (Providing Academic and Self Esteem Support) volunteer in the school system for about 15 years, Harner spends time each week working with a student who can use a little extra help.
Since spending time with children is a favorite pastime, Harner - who has five grandchildren - had an unusual request from a student last year.
At that time, "the Wright Denny student wanted me to follow him to Charles Town Middle School and so I did, because I thought that was a pretty unique request for a child that age," she said.
In 1999, she helped found and is now current president of the West Virginia Executive Secretaries Association, a subsidiary of the West Virginia School Boards Association.
Her dedication has not gone unnoticed by others, including her selection as Secretary of the Year for the Delaware, Maryland and District of Columbia region of the National Secretaries Association.
She was also the co-recipient of the Jefferson County Schools 2006 Service Personnel of the Year award.
While she's not currently taking any classes, that's not entirely out of the question in the future, Harner said.
"Never underestimate the value of education - you're never too old to learn and grow," she said.

GW Women's Hoops Opens GSU Invite Against #22/21 Georgia
Colonials Face Third Ranked Opponent in Four Games
Nov. 28, 2013
WHO: GW Women's Basketball (3-1)
The Last Meeting
December 28, 2006
San Diego, CA
The Colonials, who are 1-1 this season against ranked teams with a win over No. 10/11 California and a loss at No. 8 Maryland, will then face either Jacksonville State or host Georgia State on Sunday, depending on the results of Friday's contests.
GW is 3-1 for the second year in a row following Monday's 83-56 rout of USC Upstate. The Colonials have not been 4-1 since 2007-08 en route to the NCAA Sweet 16.
Graduate student Danni Jackson scored a season-high 19 points on Monday against the Spartans, including the 1,000th point of her career. Entering the game needing three points for the milestone, she got it out of the way early, draining a three-pointer on her first shot of the contest. Jackson is the 28th member of GW's 1,000-point club.
Graduate student Megan Nipe scored in double figures for the fourth straight game with 14 points, while junior Chakecia Miller had 10. In addition, freshman Caira Washington neared her first career double-double with nine points and nine rebounds.
Nipe is the Atlantic 10's fourth-leading scorer, averaging 19.5 points per game. She is joined in double figures on the year by Jackson (12.5 ppg) and Miller (10.0 ppg). Graduate student Brooke Wilson ranks seventh in the A-10 in rebounding with 8.3 rpg and Washington is 14th with 7.0 rpg to go with 9.0 ppg.
Ranked 22nd in the Associated Press poll and 21st in the USA Today Coaches poll, Georgia is 6-0 and will play away from Stegeman Coliseum for the first time this season. The Lady Bulldogs are coming off a 74-58 win over South Carolina State on Tuesday. Erika Ford scored 23 points on 9-of-10 shooting, while Tiara Griffin neared a triple-double with 16 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists.
Griffin leads four Lady Bulldogs who are averaging in double figures with 14.0 points per game, followed by Khaalidah Miller with 12.5 ppg. Shacobia Barbee is Georgia's leading rebounder with 8.8 rpg to go with 11.0 ppg. Georgia is averaging 63.2 points per game but has outscored its opponents by more than 16 points per contest, limiting them to just 47.0 ppg.
The Lady Bulldogs, who reached the Elite Eight last season, were picked to finish seventh out of 14 teams in the Southeastern Conference after graduating three seniors who were drafted into the WNBA. Barbee was selected to the Preseason All-SEC second team after earning spots on the SEC All-Freshman Team and All-Defensive Team last season.
Friday's game marks the third-ever meeting between GW and Georgia, with each of the previous two meetings also occurring on neutral courts. The first matchup between the Colonials and Lady Bulldogs took place in the first round of the 1998 NCAA Tournament, a 74-72 upset for 10th-seeded GW over seventh-seeded Georgia. The teams also met at the 2006 Surf 'N Slam Hoop Classic in San Diego, which the No. 17/16 Colonials won, 66-54, over the No. 11/10 Lady Bulldogs.
Following this weekend's tournament, GW will head back to D.C. for the remainder of 2013, starting with a visit to crosstown rival Georgetown.

The toasty fire burning in the main dining room of the Fisherman's Kove restaurant was a welcome sight the evening of our mid-week visit.
It was one of those raw and rainy nights that seemed to beg for a burning fire and a hot toddy to warm the old bones. The weather had kept away all but a handful of stalwart diners, and a raucous bunch of sports fans at the bar, giving my friend and I free run of the dining room.

A 'Twit'ter feed for thought?
Eddie Andelman, who spent more than 40 years working as a sports talk radio host in Boston, apparently is no fan of Western Massachusetts.
Andelman, whose Twitter profile calls him "The Godfather of Sports Radio," had this to say Wednesday afternoon on his account, @eddieandelman:
"just spent the day in western mass. sell it to new york or canada. most houses have just a half bathroom with no door."
Andelman, who hosted shows on several stations during his lengthy career, may have a difficult time if he pleads ignorance about the tweet. Also from his profile: "Tweets are really my thoughts, although one of my sons actually types them because I have no idea what a tweet is."
That's what friends are for
Friendships abound for members of the Holyoke St. Patrick's Parade Committee, as committee member Barbara LaFlamme can attest.
When a serious house fire started in her dryer, fellow committee member Roger J. Reidy spotted it as he drove past her home and stopped his truck to call fellow committee member Jim Tierney, who just happens to handle LaFlamme's homeowner's insurance.
Within a few hours, not only had Tierney got the adjuster to the scene, but also had workers there to repair the damage and saw to it that the General Cleaners cleaned all the clothes. The house, we hear, is practically like new, completely repaired, and LaFlamme won't have to do any spring cleaning this year.

|HopeDance to bring film fest to Cotatis Songbird
HopeDance Films from San Luis Obispo is traveling to Sonoma County for a special showing of new documentaries, including a film festival, Aug. 27-30, at Songbird Community Healing Center in Cotati. The films include "Animal Communicator," "Cowspiracy," and "Song of the New Earth."
HopeDance Films, run by Bob Banner, is trying to create "ecologically sustainable, practical, down-to-earth solutions, holistic, healthy and awakened community."
One of the ways they do this is by purchasing the rights to show new movies. The films are usually followed by a discussion or some other community-building event. Because HopeDance Films is located in San Luis Obispo, they can usually only afford to come to this area once or twice/year.
"I love having them come to Songbird," says director Jasmine Gold, "because they are right in line with our mission of "sharing information, providing healing, and supporting growth for everyone through community, connection, and creativity.
• "Animal Communicator" (Wednesday, Aug. 27, 7:30 p.m., $10) will be followed by a discussion with two local animal communicators, Renee Gallagos and Barbara Martin. According to Banner, "Be prepared to have your paradigm replaced. This is one of the most moving and inspiring and provocative docs I've seen in a long time."
• "Cowspiracy" (Thursday, Aug. 28, 7:30 p.m., $10), a new groundbreaking feature length environmental documentary that uncovers the most destructive industry facing the planet today… and solutions, will be followed by a discussion.
• "Song of the New Earth," a new documentary profiling Sound Shaman Tom Kenyon and the Power of Sound (Saturday, Aug. 30, 10 a.m., $15) will be introduced by Santon de La Vie, Founder and Director of the Global Healing Forum and followed by a sound journey with sound specialist Jan Cercone.
For further information, contact Gold, Director of Songbird Community Healing Center at email@example.com, www.songbirdcenter.org, (707) 795-2398 or Banner, Director of HopeDance Films at firstname.lastname@example.com, www.hopedance.org, (805) 762-4848. Songbird is located at 8297 Old Redwood Highway in Cotati.

HARRISBURG - Top officials from Parx Casino say they've stepped up patrols of the parking lot to combat the problem of parents leaving children unattended in cars at the Bensalem gambling hall while they're gambling.
Parx chief executive Leonard DeAngelo and chief counsel Thomas Bonner testified Thursday before the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board in Harrisburg.
Bonner says the casino, which is next to the Philadelphia Park racetrack, has added a second around-the-clock security patrol in the parking lot and a third vehicle during peak weekend periods. He says the number of security cameras in the 5,000-space lot has nearly doubled.

The former CEO of a health supplement company was sentenced Wednesday to nine years in prison for soliciting a hit on his estranged wife, sexy model Monica Olsen.
During the sentencing hearing in Los Angeles, Olsen, 32, told the judge that, behind his charming facade, Dino Guglielmelli, 53, had a "dark side" and would become erratic, delusional and destructive.
"He had everything one can dream of: beautiful children, a home, a loyal wife. But time and time again, he seeks to destroy it all," Olsen said in a victim impact statement to the court.
"For Mr. Guglielmelli, life is a just a game. He views people as objects to be controlled, manipulated and disposed of at his will," she added. "In this case, it was me. He told me, 'I only think in black and white. You are gray and need to be expelled.' "
Guglielmelli's company, Creation's Garden, once posted annual sales of $50 million, but declared bankruptcy Nov. 20 after Guglielmelli's arrest the previous month.
The arrest followed a business lunch where Guglielmelli ordered the hit. According to evidence presented in court, Guglielmelli, during a lunch of mint chicken and noodles, offered friend and business associate Richard Fuhrmann $80,000 – not knowing that Fuhrmann was recording their conversation.
During the conversation, Fuhrmann asked how the couple's two daughters were going to be if their mother died. Guglielmelli said, "They're totally fine. All they need is their dad."
Guglielmelli's attorney, Anthony Brooklier, told PEOPLE earlier this year that he intended to show during trial that Fuhrmann was a false friend who set Guglielmelli up for his own financial gain, and that Guglielmelli did not really want his wife murdered.
However, with the threat of life in prison hanging over his head, Guglielmelli decided to avoid trial and take a deal. He pleaded no contest last Friday to attempted murder.
Olsen, whose legal name is Monica Adreny, worked in New York and Milan for top designers including Helmut Lang, Thierry Mugler, Michael Kors and BCBG Max Azria.
