10 team flex (Non PPR), 6pts PTD, start 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1Flex, 1TE, 1DST, 1K
Draft position #2 - required to draft 2QB, 4RB, 5WR, 2TE, 2DST, 2K
1.(2) Chris Johnson - 5 QBs went RD1
2.(19) R White - (A Johnson, R Moss, C Johnson, R Wayne were off the board)
3.(22) M Austin - R Mathews still on the board
4.(39) J Stewart - Reached here, but a little panicked that I passed on R Mathews
5.(42) P Rivers
6.(59) B Celek - Gates, Clark, Finley, Davis, Witten were off the board
7.(62) A Foster
8.(79) J Knox
9.(82) S Moss
10.(99) Saints DST
11.(102) R Bush
12.(119) B Roethlisberger
13.(122) J Carlson
14.(139) Jacoby Jones
15.(142) R Bironas
16.(159) Cardinals DST
17.(162) R Gould
My Draft plan for a top 4 pick was to get an elite RB, then 2 top 10 WR, then go from there. Passing on R Matthews at 3rd pick was tough and I'm still 2nd guessing my decision. I think I'll be OK with J Stewart and Foster and playing weekly matchups? Thanks for any input.

I like it. I agree with your overall strategy; you needed to take a WR in round 3, though I personally would have tried to go with someone besides Austin. I'm a bit surprised that Rivers and Foster were still available where they were, but that's your gain. I certainly don't see any glaring weaknesses on your team, at least.
Thanks. Yeah, I'm not sold on Austin as a lock top ten WR either but like his upside. Just curious, who u would have picked? A Johnson, R Moss, C Johnson, R Wayne were off the board and I felt the rest of the big 10 all have some concerns, L Fitz's QB situation is scary and vibes in ARI are terrible so far, Luv B Marshall but not sure about Henne and Marhall's role in their run heavy offense + Brutal defensive schedule, G Jennings obviously in great situation but lot of mouths to feed in GB + he burned me last year, D Jackson is looking a little fragile to start the season, Colston - well other than Brees, I try drafting as few Saints as possible to avoid pulling out my hair figuring out who will put up the numbers this week.
Also, I not sure about R Bush, got good value and he may have a bigger role this year but never seems to come to fruition. R Williams, C Taylor, and M Bush went undrafted and are available on the WW. I was close to taking a chance on Ricky but their run SOS is brutal until playoff time. Any thoughts?

Thanks for any input
If Ricky Williams is still out on the wire you should definitely pick him up. Otherwise I'd consider dropping Reggie or a kicker to speculate on a M. Williams or Raiders RB.
Compared to Team 2, I wouldn't be too worried. 2 has a slight edge at RB but 1 is better at QB which is probably a higher scoring position. WR and TE look like a push to me. Of course this is football, Where The Ball Bounces Funny (tm).
Thanks. I've been leaning towards dropping R Bush for Ricky. Reggie has looked good in the preseason but always disappoints. Ricky's SOS schedule looks brutal but actually looks much better around playoff time and Brown will likely have gone down by then.
Don't get me wrong, I think Reggie is an underrated pick, and there is reason to believe that he'll get a lot more work this year. It's just that Ricky will get even more work than that, and his only downside is his age.

Good solid draft. I know you had to draft a certain way, but if you can, drop the 2nd Defense, TE & K. You can always replace them. Grab Hightower, M. Bush & Tampa Bay Mike Willianms. If not, then Drop Carlson immediately, he is out for the season. Celek isnt a highly rated fantasy TE this year. You might do better with Kendricks, or Cook. I'm not high on Reggie Bush this year. Tim Hightower should have a MUCH better year. And Tampa Mike Williams will have a better year than Jacoby Jones. Good Luck, not matter what you decide.

La Pine High School students and staff tried to proceed with classes as usual Monday, but a threat posted on Facebook by a student to shoot students -- joke or not -- was treated as a very serious matter, with one student arrested and another questioned.
And it served as a lesson or reminder to others that there are some things you just can't joke about without facing repercussions.
Most of the people I talked to at the school said they felt school officials and the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office did the right thing by not dismissing it.
Late Monday afternoon, Deschutes County sheriff's Lt. Kevin Dizney said the arrested teen was charged with disorderly conduct, a Class A misdemeanor. He was taken to the county's juvenile detention center and later released, with a pending court date later this month.
"No evidence was located during the investigation to substantiate the suspect took any substantial step toward carrying out this threat," Dizney wrote, adding that the teen's name won't be released, since the charges don't "rise to a level warranting the release of juvenile identities.:
However, he also said the case was forwarded to the district attorney's office for review and consideration of charges.
Sophomore Kersey Bailey said she'd seen the posted threat Sunday night -- something along the lines of, "I'm going to shoot up the school tomorrow. You're all going to die." -- and she didn't really think anything of it at the time, since she knows the unidentified student well.
With one 17-year-old arrested on disorderly conduct charges -- other possible charges are pending -- and another interviewed about what was said, school officials and deputies tried to strike a balance between alarming students or parents and dismissing it as just a case of dark humor gone too far.
"In this day and age, we have to take something like that very, very seriously," said Principal Jay Mathisen. "We can't put ourselves in the position of evaluating the intentions of what a student may or may not have meant to communicate."
Most students seemed reassured by a message read to all students as the day began (see the full news release and message below).
"It's a pretty normal day," said junior Ashley Ferns. "I don't feel any less safe, I don't feel threatened at all."
Those who knew the two 17-year-olds said they didn't believe there was anything serious to the matter.
"They just don't really seem like the type that would do that," said junior Ashlee Horn, "and I guess how they were saying it seemed more like a joke."
Junior Gavin Boen said, "I was kind of surprised at what happened -- I didn't see it coming at all."
It also served as a lesson to some teens -- that there are some things it's never good to joke about.
"Now I feel bad that I didn't pay more attention to it," said Bailey. "I didn't take it as a big deal, and that could happen -- like it could have actually happened, if someone didn't report it."
Here's the full information as provided in a news release by sheriff's Lt. Kevin Dizney:
(Suspect) White Juvenile Male 17 years old
(Person of Interest) White Juvenile Male 17 years old
On March 5, 2012, at approximately 0515 hours, the Deschutes County Sheriff?s Office received information from Bend-La Pine Schools administrators of a possible threat by a student to bring a gun to school and engage in shooting students at La Pine High School today. This message was discovered on a social media site.
The sheriff?s office, in coordination with La Pine High School, was able to identify and locate the student at home prior to school starting. The initial investigation at this time has not identified any substantial step on the part of a student to carry out this threat, but the sheriff?s office is continuing this investigation and further information will be released when available.
The student is currently in the custody of the sheriff?s office. Arrest charges are pending at this time. A second student has been contacted as well and is currently speaking with deputies of the sheriff?s office about his knowledge of the incident. He is not currently a suspect at this time, but has information important to the investigation.
The Deschutes County Sheriff?s Office and Bend-La Pine Schools are committed to the safety of the citizens of Deschutes County and take any threat to the safety of public schools as a serious matter. Threats such as this impact the quality of life of all citizens and will be investigated thoroughly to ensure persons responsible for such threats are identified and brought to justice.
There is currently no known threat to La Pine High School staff or students and classes are continuing as scheduled. The Deschutes County Sheriff?s Office Detective Division is currently continuing this investigation.
Below is a copy of information that was released to teachers at La Pine High School to be read to students during their first classes to inform them of this incident:

Senate Democrats have failed in their bid to pass new gun control measures.
They were trying to create tighter background checks, ban assault weapons and ban large-capacity ammunition magazines. President Obama blamed Republicans as he surrounded himself with families of the Newtown, Conn., massacre victims.
"So all in all, this was a pretty shameful day for Washington," Obama said. "A few minutes ago, a minority in the United States Senate decided it wasn't worth it. They blocked common sense gun reforms even while these families looked on from the Senate gallery."
Mark Barden, the father of one Newtown victim, joined the President in speaking out.
"Expanded background checks wouldn't have saved our loved ones, but still we came to support a bipartisan proposal from two senators, both with A ratings from the NRA," Barden said.
Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley explained why he joined others in opposing the move.
"This is a slippery slope of compromising the Second Amendment, and you go down that road, you're going to find it easier to compromise other things in the Bill of Rights," the Iowa lawmaker said.
The President said his administration will take steps on its own without Congress.

OMG that is awesome. My dh's best friend is expecting and I will have to ask dh if this would be a good baby gift...I bet he will wish we had it for ours, lol! I am printing the pattern right now!
As for cost...it looks fairly labor intensive, so I would personally charge $60-70; for a friend I would do it for materials plus $25. I'm really curious to see what other people would charge for something like this, as I've never done anything quite that...involved....to sell.
Hi Michelle! Nice to meet you! I'm Kat...let's be friends!
Thanks for the info!
My Hubby is a HUGE fan! Our DS is almost 9 months so he would be too big. So it would be great for our next LO (who by the way he wants to name Link)!
Any estimation on the price of materials?
In Red Heart, it looks like 12-15 for materials (not including the baby bottle and suede for the shoes - I'm not sure what the suede would cost, and would pribably skip it myself considering it's not sized for walkers). Personally, I'd probably use a different yarn since I'm not a huge fan of red heart, maybe Cotton or a soft wool blend, both of which would cost more.

ITA with TMayK..that looks really labor intensive...if it was a friend I would charge for materials pluse $25 like Kat...but to just retail...it would be A LOT.

OLEAN – It's all about the finish. And Sunday afternoon, the St. Bonaventure women's basketball team didn't have a very good one.
The Bonnies blew a late seven-point lead while the Temple Owls crashed the offensive glass and created second opportunities en route to a 67-59 win in front of 527 at the Reilly Center.
While Bona missed shots down the stretch, it was rebounding that caused the problems. The Bonnies failed to generate their own second chances and couldn't win the rebounding battle on the defensive side.
Temple had 11 offensive rebounds in the second half and turned them into 10 second-chance points.
That, in a nutshell, is how St. Bonaventure lost its Atlantic 10 opener.
"I'm very pleased with our kids' defensive approach for the most part," Bona coach Jim Crowley said. "We did offensively what we wanted to but didn't always make the shot. We were good at doing some things. We didn't rebound down the stretch. That's the simple side of it. When you're up seven with six [minutes] to go, you've got to finish it off by ending possessions on defense. We didn't do that."
The Bonnies took a seven-point lead (55-48) with 6:03 left to play when Doris Ortega hit a jump shot.
But it went south from there.
Temple used a 6-0 run to get back in the game while the Bonnies missed shots, gave up offensive rebounds and had untimely turnovers. A three-pointer from Tyonna Williams gave the Owls the lead, 61-59, with 1:26 left and Temple hit its free throws to close out the win.
"To be honest, it got to the point" where the Owls were missing shots, Temple coach Tonya Cardoza said of the final six minutes of the game. "They still were wide open shots but we were able to get the rebound."
The Owls fed many of those rebounds to Victoria Macaulay in the post. Macaulay finished with 23 points and 12 rebounds for Temple (7-8, 1-0 A-10), while Erica Covile had 11 points and seven rebounds, including four offensive boards.
Ortega paced the Bona offense with 16 points, but even she struggled at times, missing her first five shots of the second half. All in the flow of the offense, all types of shots she regularly makes, she could not get the ball to drop.
"It was going in the first half," Ortega said. "No excuse. I should have made the shot and it didn't go in. My team gave me confidence, got me good shots and open shots. They'd rather me take the shot than not take it at all."
That's true. Crowley has always wanted his shooters to keep shooting and in the big picture, the Bonnies shot well. Bona hit 45.3 percent (24 of 53), knocking down 5 of 11 three-pointers.
The problem came when the Bona offense picked times to hit a lull and when it stopped aggressively driving to the basket, which took away chances to create.
Meanwhile, there was that little matter of rebounding.
The Owls finished with a 38-31 advantage, the difference coming on the offensive glass – 15 for Temple and just eight for the Bonnies.
"The main part of it was we couldn't win those rebounds," said Alaina Walker, who paced the Bonnies with eight boards. "We allowed them to have second and third chances. To win that game, we needed to win those rebounds."
"We can't blow another lead because we don't rebound," Crowley said. "That's on our players to correct. It's not all of a sudden that you magically make an adjustment. You know how to box out. It burned us before. Let's not let it happen again."
The Bonnies (7-9, 0-1 A-10) will play at Richmond on Wednesday and return home to host Massachusetts next Sunday.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- At the request of Gov. Robert Bentley, the Madison County Judicial Commission will meet next week to vote on a third nominee for a vacant district court judgeship.
The commissioners will choose between Huntsville lawyers Claude Hundley III and Reta McKannan.
Nine candidates had sought the fill the vacant seat of District Judge Ruth Ann Hall, who was appointed by Bentley in July to a vacant circuit court seat.
On Aug. 11, the commission voted to send the names of two Huntsville lawyers, Jonathan Pippin and Robert Rodgers, for Bentley to consider.
But under Alabama law the governor is supposed to receive the names of three nominees for a judicial vacancy.
Things got a bit complicated Aug. 11, and the rules for nominating judges are also a bit complicated.
The eight-voting-member commission hears from each candidate seeking the judgeship and then votes. Circuit Judge Jim Smith, the commission chair, votes only to break a tie. But there were only seven voting commissioners at the Aug. 11 meeting.
Any candidate who receives five votes is nominated. Any candidate failing to get three votes is eliminated.
When there are three candidates who receive five votes, the nominating process is closed.
Under the rules, each commissioner has three votes per round, until the field is narrowed.
On Aug. 11, only four candidates received three votes or more to remain in contention after the first round, Rodgers, Pippin, Hundley and McKannan. In the second round, Rodgers and Pippin got enough votes to secure nominations.
Both McKannan and Hundley got four votes in the second round. With just their names on the ballot over the next six rounds, McKannan got four votes each time and Hundley three. None of the commissioners changed their votes during those rounds to give either five votes.
Faced with a continued deadlock, the commission voted to send just two names to Bentley.
After a third person is nominated, Bentley will have 30 days to select the new district court judge.

10 Spring-Cleaning Tips for Your Porch
Get your outdoor spaces summer-ready with cleaning tips for everything from set-in concrete stains to mildewed umbrellas.
Concrete Patios
Degrime with a 10:1 solution of warm water and an environmentally safe cleaner, such as Simple Green. Leave the mixture on for 15 minutes, scrub with a stiff broom, and then rinse.
Stains on Concrete
Add bleach to the solution on the previous slide—about a cup for a 10' by 10' patio.
Steps and siding
Pressure wash these areas to tackle dirt and mildew. Avoid pressure washing tiles, which can loosen from the force.
Powder-coated Aluminum Furniture
Don't scrub; if the finish wears off, it will corrode. Use a soft kitchen sponge and soapy water.
Wash, allow to dry completely, and then apply a teak sealer for added protection.
Wood and Wicker
Clean with a soft brush and mild dish soap. Anything harsher could damage the surface.
Wrought Iron
Remove algae with a brush and a strong disinfectant—OdoBan works well.
Outdoor Light Fixtures
Wipe with a soft, damp microfiber cloth. Avoid chemical cleaners, which can leave behind a filmy coating.
Outdoor Cushions
Clean with a sponge, water, and mild dish soap. Then prop them in the sun to dry.
Use warm water and an environmentally safe cleaner to rinse away mildew, and then leave open to dry.

KAPALUA - Between playing golf and analyzing it, Brandel Chamblee knows what job is tougher.
"I'm going to say playing because you have so many variables," said the former PGA Tour member and current Golf Channel analyst, on Maui for the Hyundai Tournament of Champions at the Kapalua Plantation Course.
With more than 17 hours of live tournament coverage, cameras converging from almost every angle and some of golf's biggest television personalities on hand, the sport's eyes are on Kapalua this week.
Article Photos
Aerial images are captured for the Golf Channel on Saturday by a cameraman on a crane and from a plane circling the Plantation Course.
The Maui News / MATTHEW THAYER photo
"The brightest people in golf are here," Chamblee said. "They're all here and I get to hang out with them and talk golf with them. It's a blast, it really is. And I get paid to do it, but I would be doing it anyway."
After a 15-year PGA Tour career that included more than $4 million in earnings, Chamblee made a full-time transition to television in 2004. He joined the Golf Channel as a lead analyst for its Champions Tour coverage after serving as a part-time commentator for ABC in 2003.
Chamblee is no stranger to Maui. He played in Kapalua's inaugural PGA Tour event in 1999, and also at the Lincoln-Mercury Kapalua International. He has been an analyst at the Tournament of Champions since 2003.
"Other than that I've been here 50 times because Hawaii's my favorite place in the world. I was just here three weeks ago on a vacation, so I come here all the time," he said.
Chamblee said that of all the courses he's experienced, Kapalua stands out.
"There's nothing like this course. None of the other events are anything like this. The closest, you know, they used to play in an event in Castle Pines, Colorado, called The International, and it had elevation changes like this but it didn't have views of the Pacific and Molokai," he said.
Chamblee said this year's coverage includes all kinds of "new bells and whistles."
"We have charts that allow us to more clearly show elevation changes," he said. "They're 3D-looking charts that give the fan at home a very clear idea of how much drop or rise there is with every shot. You can say there's a pretty big drop, but we have a way of putting it in perspective for the fan."
Also new this year is the addition of aerial coverage of the 7,411-yard Plantation Course.
Of all the pairings at this week's tournament, one of the most anticipated might be off the course and in the broadcast booth. Analysts Nick Faldo and Johnny Miller are together for the first time in Maui, a duo that Chamblee said "adds to the entertainment value of the show."
"They go at things completely different," Chamblee explained. "Nick doesn't use any notes, he gets up there and he just goes off the cuff and that's his style and it works for him. Johnny is much more analytical. He's got lots of notes and he says his things, and inevitably they're going to butt heads a few times and take shots at each other."
Chamblee had plenty to say about the tournament itself, including the limited number of participants at this year's event. The 27-person field is the smallest since the winners-only tournament moved to Kapalua.
"Golf is global now and when this tournament limits the champions to just the PGA Tour, they're hurting themselves," he said. "This is the Tournament of Champions and it should be the tournament of champions of every major tournament in the world - you should have representatives here from the Japanese Tour, from the Australasian Tour, from the Sunshine Tour, from the European Tour. It's time, I think that since golf is so global right now, I think that move alone would invigorate this tournament and give it a shot in the arm."

There was a perfect storm that led to my getting IC - I'll send you a PM about that. I've had it since September of last year. As for what I've done for it in the past, see my last post.
Perhaps I will keep at it with the salt. It's just that the flushes didn't do anything to help with my detox symptoms when they were bad before. It only increased the bloat, even though I was doing them properly.

Baseball Team Defeats Purdue 4-3 at Ball Diamond
Ball State's baseball team handed Big Ten Conference opponent Purdue a 4-3 loss at Ball Diamond Wednesday afternoon.
With the win, the Cardinals improved to 24-20 overall, while the Boilermakers fell to 16-28 on the season.
In Wednesday's game, all the scoring took place in two innings. Purdue jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the second before a Ball State four run seventh frame sealed the victory.
Cameron Schooley recorded the pitching win despite facing only one batter in the eighth, and Miles Moeller recorded his second save of the year after allowing only one hit in the final 1.2 innings. Matt Johnsen went 6.2 innings as the starter, allowing only two earned runs on six hits and striking out three.
The Cardinals closed the gap to 3-2 in the seventh after Blake Beemer walked with one out and Billy Wellman clobbered his third home run of the season. T.J. Weir singled and pinch hitter Jake Hines followed with a single to right field. Elbert Devarie's ground out moved the runners to second and third before Wes Winkle's single to left scored two and put Ball State ahead 4-3.
Winkle was 1-for-4 with two runs-batted-in on the day, while Wellman was 2-for-3 with two RBI nd one run scored. Devarie was 2-for-3 on the day, while Beemer and Weir were each 1-for-3.
Ball State is in second place in the Mid-American Conference West Division and will host Toledo in a three-game league series Friday through Sunday at Ball Diamond. The Rockets enter the Friday contest with a 10-11 MAC mark, while the Cardinals are 11-10 in the league. Friday's first pitch is scheduled for 3 p.m. at Ball Diamond and admission is free.

LINDEN, MI -- After the Fenton and Grand Blanc boys basketball teams won their district semifinal games Wednesday to set up a Class A showdown between the two squads, everyone knew it would be one of the better games of the season.
From the opening tipoff, the battle Friday night at Linden High School between the Tigers and Bobcats was almost destined to be great. Fenton senior Cory Cox got things going from the start, draining a 3-pointer from the left side of the court to give his team an early lead.
The bucket from beyond the arc also gave Cox an important individual milestone, putting him over 1,000 points for his high school basketball career. And while Grand Blanc went on to win the game with a tie-breaking layup in the final 13 seconds, Cox was still able to show he is one of the best players in the Greater Flint area.
"That feels good and it is a good individual accomplishment," Cox said of passing the 1,000-point mark. "I wasn't sure if I could get there this year, and it wasn't like I set my mind to it at the beginning of the year, but as the year went on I saw myself getting closer and I was tracking it a bit. I knew I would probably get it in this game and it feels pretty good for only playing three years varsity ball."
Cox played his sophomore year as part of the Flushing varsity boys program before transferring to Fenton before his junior year. The senior forward came in needing just two points to surpass the mark and the 3-pointer more than did it.
Outside of the points, Cox has also been a leader for a Fenton team that won 19 games in the regular season and another Flint Metro League championship. The Tigers started all four seniors on the roster Friday, but when Coach Tim Olszewski needed to give his starters a quick breather, Cox was right there on the court coaching the younger players.
"Coming over to Fenton has been great for me and these last two years have been phenomenal and the journey with both teams have been awesome," Cox said. "We lost a total of four games and won over 40 games, so my career here has been awesome. It has been a great two years of being here."
Last season, Cox was an integral part of the first Fenton team to win a Class A district championship as the Tigers upset Clarkston to move on to the regional semifinals. This year's district finals, however, didn't go as Cox and Fenton had wanted.
The game lived up to its billing as Fenton and Grand Blanc went in the half tied 26-26. Even when the Tigers built a six-point lead in the third quarter and the Bobcats were without senior Bart Williams, Grand Blanc still battled back to force a 34-34 tie heading into the fourth before Nick Randle hit the game-winning layup.
"We came out and knew (Grand Blanc) had quick guards and knew they weren't very good 3-point shooters, but they did hit some big shots," Cox said. "I didn't really know who No. 15 (Tre'von Avery) was, but he came out when Bart Williams got hurt and had like 10 straight points and that was something we weren't really expecting."
Even with an early exit in the playoffs his senior season, Cox, who committed to play at Cornerstone University next season, has helped continue a tradition at Fenton. And in his final game in a Fenton jersey, Cox did everything his coach could hope for.
"Cory is such a coachable young man and he came from a program that played a lot of zone, so we were changing him to the whole man-defense mentality, which was a lot more aggressive than he was accustomed to," Olszewski said. "But, he bought into it and he got right on board. He has been a constant team player and could care less if he scored or got the accolades, he just wanted to win.
"It has been amazing to coach him."

HUGHESVILLE - Two projects from Hughesville High School and one from Montoursville Area High School achieved top honors at the May 25 Pennsylvania High School Computer Fair at Dickinson College, Carlisle.
Rabeka Showers and Brandt Snyder, both juniors at Hughesville High School, took first place in the Multimedia category. Their movie, made with the voice of fellow student Kelsey Murphy, describes the environmentally friendly changes being made in the East Lycoming School District.
Brandt Snyder and Jessica Culver, both from Hughesville High School, placed first in the Digital Movie category. Their movie, starring students Dallan White and Matthew McGee, illustrated a fight over a mysterious briefcase and used many movie-making programs and effects.
Kimberly Aul, a senior at Montoursville Area High School, placed third in Curriculum Web Design with her site that was a part of her graduation project and examined her trip to China as a student ambassador.
"I'm proud of Kimberly for being the first Montoursville student to get to the state competition," said her adviser, Linda Keiser.
Brandt Snyder became the first student in the state computer fair competition history to have two first places in the same year.
The PA State High School Computer Fair brings together some of the best and brightest tech savvy high school students in the state with 22 intermediate units participating, representing most of the school districts in Pennsylvania.
To participate at the state level, students must first place first at a regional computer fair. The Intermediate Unit 17 competition was held in March with students from Bradford, Sullivan, Tioga and Lycoming counties competing in nine categories and the first-place winners progressing to the state competition.
Jacob Lowe from Hughesville High School, who spent more than 150 hours coding to create his web page, said, "We all worked incredibly hard and, even though some of us did not win, it was an awesome experience in the long run."
While the judges carefully analyzed each individual project, students participated in various workshops in animation, movie making and sound recordings with some of the state's premiere instructors.
Other regional first-place winners who won trips to the state level were Alaina Mosso from Williamsport Area High School in Graphic Design; Breann English, Sloane Stradley and Madelin Beattie from Williamsport Area High School with a 3D project in Desktop Publishing; Asa Frank from Williamsport Area High School in Programming; Jacob Lowe, Rabeka Showers and Brandt Snyder from Hughesville High School in Informational Web Page; Jessica Culver from Hughesville High School in Animation; and Preston Barto from Hughesville High School with a Computer Fair Logo.
Two of the projects are on the Internet at energy.elsd.org and youtube.com with a search term of "Beyond Business Action."

Guess the composer Friday at Luther Memorial Church
When he gives the final downbeat at Luther Memorial Church on Friday night, Matthew Kraemer will have conducted his second "Guess the Composer" concert with the Erie Chamber Orchestra.
His first, in 2012, was also a "Guess the New Music Director" concert, and for Kraemer, a "Guess Where I Might Have A Job" concert, coming as it did during the search for the successor to the late Bruce Morton Wright, the orchestra's founder.
As auditions go, it was a tough assignment for the Indiana native. Imagine being called for a leading role in a film and being handed a random collection of scenes from other movies, not the script.
"When the scores arrived, there were works that I'd never heard of," Kraemer said. "So it was a very challenging program to wrap my head around in two weeks."
He certainly rose to the challenge, winning the approval of the "Guess" concert audience, and eventually, the job.
Now Kraemer returns as the ECO's second music director, and the "Guess" concert will be a little less pressure-filled. But it will still be the same lark it's always been, a bit of late-winter whimsy.
"Bruce was always challenging his audiences, and he worked very hard at finding works that sounded like other composers', or at least not like other works the composer might have written," Kraemer said of his much-loved predecessor.
Of the format, he said, "It was different than what I expected. The 'Guess' concerts I'd done in the past were lighter pieces with recognizable melodies, but some works that Bruce chose were completely unfamiliar to me."
For 2013, Kraemer has tweaked the formula, finding material by well-known composers that's uncharacteristic of their larger body of work. "We also have pieces that sound like the work of other composers. It should be fun."
That sentiment sums up Kraemer's first year at the ECO.
"It's been a wonderful experience," he said. "The orchestra has grown, the repertoire we're playing has added diversity, and that's good for us, but also for our audience. It's about creativity."
Almost all the ECO concerts in 2012-13 have been standing room only, which raises a question.
"Should we maybe repeat these programs at a second concert?" Kraemer mused. "When you have one concert and it's pretty packed, it's a sign that we're putting on good concerts."

I think one of the issues with the term "low carb," is low carb in comparison to what?
If you use the govt's recommendations to get 60% of your calories from carbs, then I'd guess there are a substantial number of Paleo and Primal people who are low carb. And I think/hope that those govt guidelines have finally been debunked by the 30+ years that have made a lot of us who followed them look like fattened up cattle ready for slaughter. At 60%, for an 1800 calorie per day intake, the govt recommends getting 1080 calories from grains, beans, potatoes, etc. That's 270 grams of carbs.
If you use Mark's guidelines, I'm guessing fewer of us are "low carb." Mark talks about insidious weight gain at about 150 gms of carbs or 600 calories. Also, Mark's carb curve (which I know a lot of people don't like) doesn't address caloric input per day. At least the graphic doesn't; I'd have to search the blog post to see if that addressed it.
For a person whose point of reference started with cereal every morning, lowfat foods that were made to taste better by adding sugar to them, a lunch between two pieces of bread, frequent pizza (most popular food in the US), lots of fruit (because heaven knows you shouldn't get your vitaminC from peppers or liver), and crackers, chips, etc., laden with corn and HFCS, Primal and Paleo have literally turned their world and their pyramid upside down.
Anyway, I'm drifting off point. To discuss low carb, you have to have a reference point. Paleo and Primal are lower carb than CW. Within Paleo and Primal are subgroups that are at various levels of carb intake based on their weight, health, activity, and experience.
Until we define "lower than what," we can't really discuss low carb.

DOYLINE, La. — The cleanup of 3,000 tons of explosives haphazardly stored at a munitions plant has frayed the nerves of residents who evacuated, closed a high school and spawned a criminal investigation of the company that owns the materials.
Authorities said about half of the town's 800 residents had heeded requests to leave during the cleanup, which started Saturday, but some appeared to be returning to their homes. Some displaced residents were exasperated by the sheer volume of explosive material, which is more than authorities initially estimated. Adding to the uncertainty was a forecast of thunderstorms today that could slow efforts to move the propellant used in artillery shells to safer storage sites.
"We got outside the evacuation area when they said there was a million pounds. Now it's 6 million," said Frank Peetz, 71, who was staying with his wife in a camper at a nearby state park. "Maybe we ought to be up in Arkansas somewhere."
State police say some of the propellant was found spilling out of boxes crammed into buildings, and they have opened a criminal investigation into why the materials were not stored in bunkers at the state-owned site, leased by Explo Systems.
Weather could complicate the transfer of the roughly 6 million pounds of propellant. If lightning is spotted within 5 miles of the site, authorities will suspend efforts to move it, state police spokeswoman Lt. Julie Lewis said.
Lewis said that as of late Monday, crews had segregated or safely stored 1.2 million pounds of the propellant since the cleanup started.

Versatile Dr. Zoot plays at P.I. Downs on Friday
When the swing revival exploded like a bullet train to destination cool in the late 1990s, Sal Ventura hopped aboard.
He never disembarked, not even when the fad blew over and the train slowed down.
Ventura still leads Dr. Zoot, a Pittsburgh-based swing band that rolls into Presque Isle Downs & Casino for the first time on Friday night. At its peak, the band's schedule was packed.
"It's not like the good old days," said Ventura, who sings and plays keyboards. "We were working, four, five nights a week, which is unheard of today for musicians to be working that much."
When swing started to fizzle, the band branched out, widening its scope to keep people dancing and gigs rolling in.
"We're still doing swing, but we're more of a mixed bag now," Ventura said. "People, I guess, like the variety more. We do Latin, some soul music, different things like that -- mainly dance-style music.
"We have such a large repertoire we can virtually play all night without even playing swing. Or, we could play swing all night. Generally, we like to do a little of everything."
On its last album, Dr. Zoot ventured into Southern waters with the tropical island-flavored "Zoot Island." For its first Erie show, Ventura plans to keep the set list diverse: some island tunes, but also plenty of swing. The band will definitely wear its zoot attire, and delve into originals and classics.
"We like Count Basie a lot," Ventura said. "And we like Duke Ellington, (Frank) Sinatra, Louis Prima. There are so many good artists, like Louis Armstrong. Most of them are (from the) '30s and '40s.
Ventura, upright bassist Al Peden, trombone player Mark Snyder and trumpeter Oscar Menosky have been with Dr. Zoot from the get-go, which explains why the snazzy band is so tight and can switch styles on a dime. Dr. Zoot also includes guitarist Izzy Arlet, drummer Jason May and saxophonist Dan Heasley, though he may not make it to Friday's show.
Dr. Zoot has released eight albums since 1998's "Ghosts of Swing" and still plays early originals such as "Jump, Jive and Shake" and "Trip the Night Fantastic."
"We have so many songs," Ventura said. "If people are dancing, we might bust into 'September' by Earth, Wind & Fire. It's a feel-the-crowd type of thing. We'll do some bluesy stuff, some funky stuff. People often remark it's amazing how many different genres we can jump into."
Including, most of all, jump swing.

The first Game of the Week features a rematch of a 2006 Week One beat-down. Last season, the Cardinals put a 55-10 drubbing on the Tigers in their home opener. This season, Tigard gets to play host, and you can bet that the Tigers are going to be looking for some payback, especially after losing a heart breaker to Bethel (WA) last week.
Sean Meagher will be live blogging the game, and The Oregonian will be there taking video to be posted after the game.
Go ahead and leave your predictions in the comments. And be sure to check back in on Friday night for our first Game of the Week.

The main rule of 'da Bungalow' was that there were no celebrities allowed, except for Comic Relief. Celebrity Bungalow Heads included: Fearne Cotton, Chris Parker and Timmy Mallett.
The lack of celebrity was symbolised in earlier series by the presence of a minor, and often somewhat cult, celebrity, locked up in a cage in the dungeon of the Bungalow. In later series, the celebrity would sit in the attic. In both cases they would say nothing and often do nothing. Some people who have been in the cage or the attic include: Vince Earl, Sarah Greene, John Kettley, Hugo Myatt (as Treguard from Knightmare), Su Pollard, Bodger and Badger and Peter Simon.
For the final series, however, this rule was changed, and five Bungalow Heads were joined by a Celebrity Bungalow Head.
The first celebrity to enter the Bungalow was Rachel Stevens. It seems, however, that she did not know what she was letting herself in for; she later stormed out when it was time for the finale of the show, Creamy Muck Muck: Muckversity Challenge. Melvin Odoom had to take her place in the sketch, given that she obviously did not want to be covered in creamy muck muck. Reports suggest that Dick & Dom have banned Rachel Stevens from any live broadcast they do in the future

The invitation last month for a party celebrating the recent return of Republican rule to Evesham featured this request: Contributions to campaign funds and political action committees should not exceed $300.
At that amount, under New Jersey law, donors do not have to be identified. It also is the maximum an individual or firm can give before being disqualified from receiving a public contract under an Evesham ordinance that restricts what is called "pay-to-play," or trading campaign cash for government business.

DEVON WHITE just graduated from La Salle University, but he has another season of eligibility. Under a fairly recent NCAA rule, a player who has graduated with eligibility can play immediately at another school if he takes graduate-level courses. So White will play next season at Niagara for coach Joe Mihalich, a La Salle grad himself.
The 6-8 White (Strawberry Mansion) often showed flashes of talent but could not sustain it. Perhaps a change of venue will help.
"I went up there on a visit and kind of enjoyed myself," White said. "I felt at home up there. The guys treated me well. The students welcomed me with open arms. I knew a couple of guys that played for [Mihalich], and they told me he was a great guy. I kind of went off their word a little bit." n

If you have a hard time understanding Einstein's theory of relativity, maybe that's because you've never heard Walter Smith strum it on his baritone ukulele.
"It's glorious and eerie, this theory; Its light is shining on me," Smith, a physics professor at Haverford College, sang to his introductory class last week in the plaintive tones of a folk troubadour. "I see time dilation and feel the elation, of relativity."
As the last note fades, his 20 students burst into applause - just as they do over the course of the semester for his swooning ballad, "The Love Song of the Electric Field," or the Broadway-style toe-tapper "Energy Eigenstates," among others.

Expectation and excitement in New Zealand is on the rise after a memorable 1-0 win over Serbia in Austria.
The All Whites looked comfortable against the European outfit, even though they lacked a number of first teamers.
Shane Smeltz ended a dry patch with a well taken goal, and a clean sheet for the new look defence, which had Ryan Nelsen marshalling newcomers Tommy Smith and Winston Reid, was also encouraging.
Jeremy Christie was solid as a second midfield workhorse, and the front three, especially Rory Fallon, showed more movement than in any game in the past year.
Fallon dropped deep for the goal and stayed mobile enough to flick on Reid's long ball for an assist for Smeltz.
The result was just reward for another encouraging performance, coming days after their last gasp defeat to Australia in Melbourne.
Maybe it was against a team neither at full pelt, nor full strength – the Serbs were without their talisman and captain Dejan Stankovic, of Internazionale – but it was still a game to take inspiration from.
Back in Aotearoa, the result over the number 15 ranked team has been heralded as one of the nation's best ever results.
Another win in Austria over neighbouring Slovenia at the weekend could continue to raise expectations and confidence of making a significant impact.
Victory over the Slovenes could also strike worry into World Cup opponents Slovakia – the former Yugoslav republic took maximum points from Vladimir Weiss' team in qualification, their only defeats.
Let's hope the levels of confidence and performance can continue their upward trend and peak at the right time.
incredible result
Despite of this result, it'll be difficult 4 NZ to go 2nd round.
God defend New Zealand!
Stick to the black Away Jersey!!!!!
That was nowhere near the NZ top lineup, either - Killen, Vicelich, Brown, McGlinchey missing & Sigmund not starting. Jeremy Christie is 4th choice midfielder; Wood is 18yrs old, Smith 20 & Reid 21.
Thanks for your comments.
Sam - Yes it was a top result - great to see it. Let's hope they carry on coming.
Khokan - Yes, it will be very difficult - but achievable. It's not the toughest group in the comp at all. You never know...
Diego - Yeah I agree about the shirts! I think we may see the black kit against Paraguay and Slovakia.
StickmanH - good point. I did address it slightly but was great to see strength in depth. I think Smith looks like a good find in particular - he's been better with every game. Reid also looked solid. Having another more defensive midfielder in the team (Christie) is a plus in a 3-4-3 system, but obviously we need and want Tim Brown back.
I think Australia was robbed in the last World Cup against Italy and should have won. New Zealand show great spirit as well. Even though these two Oceanic teams are inferior to us Europeans in technical and tactical capabilities, their spirit and impressive physique can score sensational results. I wish them all the best! (since Sweden isnt there anyway...)
Obviously a brilliant result, we were immense and definitely deserved to win on the night. I agree with StickmanH, we are starting to get some real strength in depth, something which we have not had in a while...these are exciting times. Look at the age of some of our squad players: McGlinchey- 23, Wood- 18, Brockie- 22, Ried- 21, Smith- 20...guys who have all shown promise and can only get better with this experience.
new zealand played very intelligently. i was quite frustrated but im not disheartened as it is only a friendly after all. however it will do wonders for the kiwis confidence and good to see youngsters emerging. living in australia i can see the obvious benefits for us aussies having a strong and football enthused neighbour. hopefully they make a great impact at the world cup even if they dont manage to qualify to the next round but they are capable of springing a few surprises thats for sure!
Yeah, come on New Zealand. The All Whites are a force to be reckoned with.
go on new zealand! slovaks and paraguay watch out.
As a proud New Zealander I will be genuinely surprised if we don't win the world cup.
Wow... StickmanH and the author Marky Marcus Anselm... what are you guys on?
I rate that pretty much the best 11 we could have fielded.
Reid and Smith are far better options that grandpa Vicelich and Benny "Boot!!!" Sigmund. "Boot" as in that is all he can do, like the munter at the back when you played against Dannevirke HS.
The young chaps alongside Nelsen are good ball players and are the future along with Wood of the game for NZ. Tim Brown is a weak link and I think most are glad he is out of action.
I think that line up was near perfect for the A-dubs.
Definitely agree that the black kit is the way to roll.
Woah woah woah, 'inferior' to European teams is hardly the way I'd put it. They may not have hugely successful or popular players, but a win over Serbia labels them a bit better than the 'superior' European countries that didn't even qualify, like Belgium and Russia, both excellent teams. Be careful what you say, quality is only determined by results, and I'm damn sure NZ proved their lack of inferiority against Serbia.
Edward - Reid and Smith have potential but I'd definitely start the tournament with Vicelich and Sigmund alongside Nelsen, if we're playing 3-4-3. But they clearly can step in if needed, and I think they both have long futures in the national team. Glad we agree on the shirts though.
Charade - good point about quality is only determind by results. Greece's Euro 2004 win is a case in point, and perhaps more pertinently, Germany in 1990. Not saying NZ will go that far, but tactics, determination, stamina and luck are often as important as skill in these tournaments.

SHEPHERDSTOWN - Local resident Dr. William D. Theriault spoke about the West Virginia GeoExplorer Project to the Pack Horse Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution in the home of Patricia Toffling during the chapter's October meeting. Hostesses included Patricia Toffling, Dorrene Hale, Marsha Krashoc, Marie Snowden and Kathy Sholl.
The GeoExplorer Project (WVGP) is a geographically based web resource used to explore the history, culture and architecture of West Virginia and is sponsored by the Jefferson County Historic Landmarks Commission. Jefferson County serves as the starting point for this project, but the project will later expand to include the rest of the state. The WVGP database currently contains entries of more than 1,800 marriages and 2,600 deaths published in 19th-century Jefferson County newspapers. Additional volunteers are needed. More information is available at www.wvgeohistory.org.
After refreshments, upcoming chapter events were discussed, including the following:
A naturalization ceremony to induct new citizens into the U.S.A. will be held at 10 a.m. Oct. 26 at the Federal Building, 217 West King St., in Martinsburg.
Celebrating the movement of the DAR Bee Line March Monument rededication will be held at Elmwood Cemetery, 4849 Kearneysville Pike in Shepherdstown at 2 p.m. Oct. 28. A reception after the ceremony will be held at the Shepherdstown Train Station. The monument is being re-dedicated exactly 80 years from the day it was first dedicated. The public is invited.
Chair of the Conservation Committee Penny Hoeflinger reminded chapter members that Nov. 15 is Recycling Day for America. Everyone is asked to reduce waste - look at packaging before buying and buy the product with less waste.
November is the month that the chapter remembers veterans by giving small personal items to fill Christmas stockings distributed during a holiday party at the VA Medical Center in Martinsburg.
Constitution Week was a huge success for the Pack Horse Ford Chapter. Committee members distributed 700 copies of the Constitution to local schools and rang the local church bells Sept. 17. A patriotic wreath, made by member Darla Ambrose, was placed at the gravesite of James Madison during the chapter's visit to Montpelier in Virginia. Constitution Week Committee members created an attractive window display in the storefront window of Wait and Dickinson Craft Gallery in Shepherdstown. The theme of the display was "Heroes Walked Among Us." Committee members included Chairman Jane Snyder, Vonda Miller, Marie Snowden, Martha Anne McIntosh and Carolyn Bryant.
Share your interests in historic preservation, patriotism and education. For more information about the Daughters of the American Revolution, visit www.DAR.org.

|About The Farm Animals
Farm animals are the beating heart of any city farm, and we are no exception. It took until 2005 (we arrived on site in 1998!) for the first animals to arrive. By early 2005 we had completed the animal house as a shell and later in the summer we had also managed to employ Chris Jones as our first Animal Keeper.
Click the Picture options below to find out more about the animals we keep.
It didn't take long for the sounds and smells of a real farm to merge into the daily life of the Farm. With the arrival of Rocky, our emblematic Light Sussex Cockerel, who's still ruling the roost to this day, and Fluffy, our leader of the ducks (she's an Silver apple yard) and hatched from an egg by pupils at neighbouring Cadle Primary school, we were a real, working city farm.
Spring 2006 saw the birth of our first lambs, Lotty (Chris is funded through the Big Lottery!), Leticia and Larry. They are Llanwenogs, a rare Welsh breed, and as well as captivating visitors they have become the media stars of the Farm. They have featured on BBC Wales evening news, various publications and in November 2007 Lotty briefly joined the world of media 'A' listers. Her skill at opening the latch on the sheep pen in the animal house with her mouth gained headlines like "The Great Ewedini" and "Lock, flock and two two bales of hay", as well as countless blogs of the CCTV footage of her being caught in action. We prefer the headline "It could be Ewe" .
In Spring 2012, Cornflower our rare Welsh pig gave birth to the three little pigs - Woodina, Srawberry and Briquette.
We now keep pigs, sheep, ducks, chickens and doves!
Why we keep farm animals?
We adhere to a strict animal welfare policy to ensure that our animals are kept safely and comfortably in line with the Farm's aim to…
"provide its animals with the highest standards of humane care."
We also seek to promote rare breed farm animals, and especially Welsh rare-breeds. This is in an effort to preserve both animal biodiversity and Welsh cultural heritage.
But we are a working farm and as a working farm we seek to educate visitors on where their food comes from, including meat and eggs. As such our breeding and stocking policy is to provide food for the plate as well as increased awareness of the issues surrounding food production.
We make every effort to feed our animals on locally produced, organic and GM free feed.
Our Animal keeper is supported through the Big Lottery Fund

Good to hear from you!
I also have a very active outdoor job, and it does make things a little different. I wish there was a trick to getting past the carb flu, but I don't honestly know of any. You just have to woman-up and do it. I promise, if you stick with it and really keep it clean, the crappy feelings will pass. Just give it a couple of weeks with 100% effort.
I swear, I spent the first couple of weeks fantasizing about 7/11's chocolate frosted donuts. I mean, SERIOUSLY fantasizing about their taste and texture and taking that first bite and... it was just awful. But now it's not like that. I really don't care. I like other foods more now, and I make sure I have the healthy ones around me instead.

Tony, I'll try asking one final time. Hopefully you can let us know the answer.
Can we use the $5 Need for Speed coupon with NFS Most Wanted when it goes on sale? The coupon was sent out to people that purchased the NFS package that went on sale a month or so ago.
My bad dude I thought I answered this. I'm actually not sure on the coupon, you could actually check now by just going to the checkout page for NFS:MW and see if the credit is applied. If it is applied now it should be tomorrow.

Erin Peters thought she was dreaming as she sat behind the steering wheel of her sedan and watched a pair of headlights swirl around her.
She quickly pulled her thoughts back to what had just happened, realizing she had been in a head-on crash, she couldn't feel her legs, and she needed help. The other driver was drunk when he hit her, and he fled the scene, leaving her to call 911 on her own.
Six months after that May 11 crash, Ronnie Wayne McDonald, 29, faces a prison sentence. He pleaded guilty last month to vehicular assault-driving under the influence and fleeing the scene of a crash.
McDonald, who didn't suffer any major injuries, shouldn't have been behind the wheel that day, and it wasn't his first time driving drunk. He was driving without a valid license, and he had already served prison time in Arkansas for his fourth DUI.
It frustrates Erin, 27, that a person with that kind of a record was on the road at all, let alone after drinking. On top of the complications from her broken leg, pelvis and arm, Erin has also been hit hard financially, with mounting medical bills and continuing payments on her car that was totaled.
"There's a lot of stress I have to deal with just based on how bills are going to get paid, things that I really shouldn't have to deal with," she said.
McDonald is scheduled to be sentenced Friday, but authorities say it will likely be postponed. Erin said she hopes for the harshest sentence possible because McDonald has shown no remorse and no desire to rehabilitate.
"I'm really fortunate that I didn't die, and I think that's the main thing I've been focused on, but it's unfortunate he wasn't stopped before this," she said.
McDonald's Chevrolet Tahoe collided with Erin's Hyundai Sonata at the intersection of Colo. 392 and Weld County Road 13. Colorado State Patrol arrested McDonald after he fled the scene, according to an arrest affidavit. He told the trooper that the other driver had hit him, and he didn't remember the crash, according to the report.
Immediately after the crash, Erin put fear and panic out of her mind. As emergency crews called in the Jaws of Life to extract her from her mangled car, she said she called her boss and her mother to tell them she had been injured in a crash. She said the officer who was assigned to keep her calm told her she "made his job easy."
Erin says that same "goal-oriented" mentality is what has helped her stay positive and motivated, even through many setbacks in her recovery.
"If I let my depression take me down, I don't think I'd be this far," Erin said.
Erin underwent surgeries for compound fractures in her leg and her broken pelvis. Her fractured arm went unnoticed until after she was released from a rehabilitation center at the end of May. Days after she got home, she completely broke her arm while getting out of bed, sending her back to the hospital.
"I lost almost all of my hope on that day," she said. "I wanted to give up."
About a month after that, she was re-admitted to the hospital for an infection.
Erin said she is still making $400 payments each month on her car, which remains with police. She said her insurance company won't file a claim until police release the car, and that won't happen until McDonald is sentenced.
"I can't move on because financially it's too hard," she said.
Erin said she wants harsh penalties to be imposed sooner for people who are caught driving drunk.
"As someone who has been hit by a drunk driver, especially a repeat offender, I definitely feel like if there were harsher penalties, that people wouldn't do it if they didn't just continue to get a slap on the wrist," she said.
Erin is looking forward to the end of this legal ordeal, but she knows she still has a lot of work to do to fully heal and move on.
"I will have these scars, and it's a possibility I will have pain for the rest of my life," she said. "My full recovery won't ever be back to normal."

|Florida District
555 Winderley Place, Suite 200
Maitland, Florida 32751
Telephone: 407-475-4700
March 19, 2012
Herman D. Lue
Oriental Packing Co., Inc.
14855 SW 137th St., Suite 103
Miami, FL 33196
Dear Mr. Lue:
We conducted an inspection of your spice processing facility, located at 14855 SW 137th Street, Suite 103, Miami, FL 33196 on December 19-20, 22, 2011 and January 4, 2012. During the inspection, the FDA investigators documented serious violations of the Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) regulation for foods, Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 110 (21 CFR 110). Based on these violations, the ingredients and finished food products manufactured in your facility are adulterated within the meaning of Section 402(a)(4) [21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(4)] of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act), in that they have been prepared, packed or held under insanitary conditions whereby they may become contaminated with filth, or whereby they may have been rendered injurious to health. You can find the Act and FDA's regulations through links in FDA's home page at www.fda.gov.
FDA investigators observed the following violations of the CGMP regulation for foods (21 CFR 110):
1. In order to comply with 21 CFR 110.35(d), you must clean and sanitize all food contact surfaces, including storage containers and equipment, in a manner that protects against contamination of food.
Our inspection revealed that your firm failed to clean and sanitize with any routine frequency, shared equipment used to mix all single spice and spice blend products that contain both non-allergenic and allergenic sub-ingredients. Specifically, the investigators observed that interior food-contact surfaces of the large and small product mixers, storage and transport containers used for bulk finished product, and package filling machines are not cleaned nor sanitized between the manufacture of products containing the allergen wheat and products that do not contain the allergen wheat as evidenced by:
- An employee deposited Fish Seasoning from the mixer into a plastic (b)(4) gallon container that had previously been filled with (b)(4) Seasoning. The container was not cleaned prior to filling with Fish Seasoning.
- An accumulation of spice residue was observed on interior food contact surfaces of the blades and kettle of the small mixer, which was covered and ready for next use.
- Containers used to hold different products that contain wheat are also used without subsequent cleaning or sanitizing for products that do not contain wheat..
2. In order to comply with 21 CFR 110.80, all reasonable precautions must be taken to ensure that production procedures do not contribute to contamination from any source. Therefore, equipment, containers and utensils used to convey, hold, and store food shall be constructed, handled, and maintained during manufacturing or storage in a manner that protects against contamination.
Our inspection revealed that your firm processes a variety of blended spice products on equipment that has not been adequately cleaned and sanitized and stores food product, raw materials, and packaging materials, in a manner that does not protect against contamination, as evidenced by:
- On the bottom of the large mixer, there is a plastic chute that is damaged and separating from the equipment and was attached to the mixer using adhesive tape, that exhibits an accumulation of spice residue.
- Raw ingredients were stored in open bags that were not sealed closed to protect against contamination.
- Plastic lids used for packaging were stored open and uncovered, directly against a wall on the floor of the packaging area.
3. In order to comply with 21 CFR 110.35(c), no pests are allowed in any area of a food plant. Furthermore, effective measures must be taken to exclude pests from the processing areas and to protect against the contamination of food on the premises by pests. However, our investigators observed the following evidence of a lack of adequate pest control:
- One dead roach was located on the floor under the raw material weighing and preparation table in the mixing room loft.
- An unscreened loading bay door in the receiving open was left open when loading and/or unloading activities were not being conducted.
Labeling Comments:
Your product Blue Mountain Country Jamaican Curry Powder fails to bear a nutrition facts panel on the product label as required by 21 CFR 101.9. However, per 21 CFR 101.9(j)(4) a food containing insignificant amounts of all nutrients is exempt from nutrition labeling requirements. If the product is determined to contain insignificant amounts of all nutrients, it is exempt from nutrition labeling requirements.
The serving size declaration for the "Grace Fish Seasoning" product is not based on the reference amount customarily consumed (RACC) established for this specific type of product, as required by 21 CFR 101.12(b). Specifically, the label declares a serving size as "1/2 TSP. (1g)", however the RACC established for "Salt, salt substitutes, seasoning salts (e.g., garlic salt)" is "1/4 tsp".
The ingredient statement for the "Jamaican Choice Flavor Enhancer" product indicates that the product is solely comprised of "monosodium glutamate (MSG)". Per 21 CFR 101.22(h)(5), any monosodium glutamate used as an ingredient in in food shall be declared by its common or usual name, "monosodium glutamate". Therefore, the use of the term "flavor enhancer" in the product name is not an appropriately descriptive term.
We acknowledge receipt of your firm's response letter dated January 10, 2012 to the FDA-483, Inspectional Observations, issued to you at the close of the inspection. However, we were unable to properly evaluate your response since you did not provide any documentation of your implemented corrections. In addition, you did not indicate when each correction was implemented, or how you will improve monitoring of these conditions to prevent future violations.
We may take further action if you do not promptly correct these violations. For instance, we may take further action to seize your product(s) and/or enjoin your firm from operating.
You should respond in writing within fifteen (15) working days from your receipt of this letter. Your response should outline the specific steps you have taken to correct the noted violations, including an explanation of how you plan to prevent these violations, or similar violations, from occurring again. You should include documentation of the corrective actions you have taken. If you cannot complete all corrections before you respond, you should explain the reason for your delay and state when you will correct any remaining violations.
This letter may not list all the violations at your facility. You are responsible for ensuring that your processing plant operates in compliance with the Act and the Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulation (21 CFR Part 110). You also have a responsibility to use procedures to prevent further violations of the Act and all applicable regulations.
Please send your reply to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Attention: Angela E. Glenn, Acting Compliance Officer, 555 Winderley Place, Suite 200, Maitland, FL 32751. If you have any questions regarding any issues in this letter, please contact Ms. Glenn by telephone at (407) 475-4724.
