Retailers are no longer over a barrel in the pickle aisle. New product offerings from major manufacturers and larger jars, along with frequent advertising and trade allowances, are helping to reverse a long-term sales drop and breathe new life into the category. As a result, retailers are no longer thinking of jerkin' their gherkins off the shelves. "Everybody buys pickles because there is a lot of variety. Children love them and our pickle sales are even up a little bit," said Emily G. ...

In my quest, I've had good vendors that have turned into bad ones, vendors who haven't shipped my order and vendors that hold poor quality products. Don't worry, its not all doom and gloom. There are vendors that ship same day, have excellent products and tip top customer service. A friend turned me onto Sky Kratom about 18 months ago and after 50 or so orders, I never been so impressed with a such a consistent company. Organic Kratom is where I buy kratom.

Do I have enough timeSep 23, 20161Hi there! Im a little bit worried about something... I book a flight from Panama City, Panama Monday 26th arrives 4:03pm T4 and I have to change terminals to recheck bags and take a flight to Seattle that departs at 6:55pm from T1, do you think I will be ok... Im traveling with my 4 years old... I think we can make it, however still Im worriedMIAFri, Sep 23
Connection Southamerica - EuropeSep 21, 20161Hi everyone, I have a flight from Bogotá via FLL to Oslo with Spirit and Norwegian Airlines. I have a European passport and checked in bags so I'll need to go through immigration, customs, everything. I have a bit less than 3 hours, I arrive at 7pm and leave close to 10pm - can I make it? Any tips?MJWed, Sep 21
MYR to FLL then FLL to SJOSep 20, 20162Flying Spirit, booked reservation all in one. On December 9th we have an 8 AM flight out of Myrtle Beach arriving in Fort Lauderdale at 9:50, departing flight leaves at 10:50 AM. Since I booked on Spirit I figured the hour in between would be sufficient, but want some confirmation. Is the connection feasible? If we missed the flight - would Spirit accommodate a new one since it was their connection?dmajawMon, Sep 19Yes, that should be enough time. All you have to do is go from your arrival gate to your departure gate. Yes, if you miss your connection they will rebook you on the next available Spirit flight to San Jose, which probably wouldn't be until the next day.ZAPMon, Sep 19

Delta to Silver connection?Aug 16, 20165Hi - on 11/8/16 we arrive in FLL on Delta (from Detroit) at 12:04 pm (assume terminal 2) and our Silver flight departs terminal 1 at 2:05 pm to Marsh Harbour. I assume enough time to connect? We will have checked baggage. On return I assume this will not be enough time - we arrive FLL at 4:50 pm on Silver from Marsh Harbour and need to connect to Delta departing at 5:55 pm. I wonder if we can check luggage all the way through? Any advice would be appreciated, thanksMBRMon, Aug 15Yes, you assume correctly. That is absolutely not enough time on your return.ZAPMon, Aug 15Thanks! Delta and Silver have an "interline agreement". I assume that means I can check baggage all the way through from Detroit to Marsh Harbour and won't have to get my baggage and re-check at FLL?MBRMon, Aug 15Yes, that is what an interline agreement entails. You will have to exit security at Terminal 1's concourse C to catch your Delta flight from Concourse D at Terminal D. Unless you have TSA Pre-check, the connection is nearly impossible, especially since Silver Airways is rarely on time.ANDYMon, Aug 15Would TSA precheck or Global Entry expedite things? Detroit to FLL on Delta then catch Silver from FLL to Marsh Harbor (and then vice versa for return portion).MBRTue, Aug 16

Wood type museum seeks funds for new home
You've heard us on the plight of the Hamilton Wood Type Museum before. The only museum on the planet dedicated to the preservation, study and use of wood type, with about 1.5 million pieces of type once used in posters and newspaper headlines, is being evicted from its historic home in Two Rivers.

Daunted and even frightened by such an assignment, King never did it, concluding that the idea of trying to "put all that into a story" would be "ludicrous." »Read Full Article

When a group of family friends who belong to one IT company decided to spend their summer vacation by visiting their counterparts in another states, I could not contained my excitement because my brother decided to bring me including my mom and my cousin. By the way, my brother is one of the department heads in their company based in Houston. Included in the itinerary is to visit historical landmarks along the way. The trip will take us all the way to New York and back. Their company alloted a 7-day travel including meeting their peers in all the states/cities we will pass through.
Instead of driving a car for each employee and their family, the company decided to get the service of a luxury motorcoach. It was my first time actually to ride a motorcoach. All the employees were allowed to bring their family member as well, so I guess hiring a motorcoach was the best and economical way to travel from Houston to New York. While planning for the trip, my brother told that the motorcoach they hired is a family owned bus charters and operating since 1936. In my mind, I thought we will ride on an old bus. My excitement to travel with his company transformed into somewhat gloominess.
On the day of our tour, a big bus stopped in front of my brother's office. I heard that it's the motorcoach that they hired. My excitement jumped for joy when I've found out that we will ride on a first-class luxurios motorcoach! There were more than 40 of us and we were all seated comfortably to this huge full-size luxury touring motor coach.
I love to travel and when I do, I make sure that I hit the road on style. First, aside from the reclining seats that were so comfy with ample leg room, it was also my firsthand to experience a coach fully equipped with restroom, wifi and individual climate control. And before I forget, it has also various electronics connectors where you can watch DVD or listen to your favorite music to make the trip more enjoyable. It was like riding a first-class airplane.
We were provided with the good looking, humored face driver. I would say he was very professional, safety conscious and patient. He's a bit old already but he really made our trip fun and exciting. Aside from the very cautious driver, we also had our own tour guide. I was not able to get the information if she's from the same bus company or was hired from a travel company. She was very knowledgeable, very courteous and accommodating to all our questions. The drive and the tour guide worked in tandem providing us not only a safe travel but almost a never-ending fun and laughter.
Our ride was so smooth and we did not encounter even a single engine trouble not even a flat tires. The motorcoach that my brother's company hired was truly commendable when it comes to safety of their passengers. They worked hard to ensure our long travel from Texas to New York and back was executed smoothly.
One of the highlights of the travel was visiting the counterparts of my brother's company in various states and stopping on different historical landmarks. But for me, the experience to ride a luxury motorcoach was worth the travel in itself. I highly recommend for a group to hire a first-class luxury motorcoach when travelling in numbers.

More on those nasty immigration judges...
An astute reader's memory was triggered by "Mock Trial," the article I wrote last week about Miami's immigration judges. Judge Bruce Solow, who said of one asylum seeker's case that it "was so vague and general you could vomit," was the subject of a Daily Business Review article published on March 27. (Sorry I can't link to the article itself — the DBR demands a flagrantly overpriced sum to download a story more than six weeks old. I had to go into New Times' dusty stacks to find it.)
The article was about the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals opinion in the case of asylum seeker Shizhuang Zheng, who claimed he was persecuted by the Chinese government for practicing Falun Gong. In 1999, the Chinese government outlawed the spiritual movement and its meditation exercises. Thousands of those who practiced it were incarcerated and "deprogrammed," according to the U.S. State Department. The Federal Court remanded Zheng's asylum case back to a lower court because Solow's denial "was based on his own knowledge of Falun Gong, and was not supported by the record."
The Circuit Court's opinion stated that, "The Immigration Judge [found] Zheng's responses to questions regarding the nature of Falun Gong insufficient to show that 'he kn[ew] anything', declaring Zheng's responses to be 'as instructive as opening a fortune cookie' and 'quite off-the-wall.'"
Judge Solow opined that "Falun Gong... is an advancement in a step process which incorporates various Taoism, Buddhism, and eastern metaphysical...and other recognized religions of betterment, of moving yourself along to each step to a higher plane so that you become, not just well, 'Yeah, I'm a better person.' I read that as, again, out of a fortune cookie."

Even worse, one of the reasons Judge Solow questioned Zheng's credibility was because he was "sniffling like crazy" during the hearing, even though Zheng had, in Solow's words, practiced Falun Gong because it "fixed him up."
According to the Eleventh Circuit opinion, Solow "commented on Zheng's sniffling twice during the hearing. The second time, he appeared almost hostile about it: 'Still sniffling, huh?... Here, I'll give you a tissue. Yeah. Go ahead, have a nice tissue on the Court. Go ahead.'"

- - Which mountain to hit in SLC on Dec 3rd? (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/intermountain-us/43309-mountain-hit-slc-dec-3rd.html)
Which mountain to hit in SLC on Dec 3rd?
I will be out there on December 2-4 with a few buddies. As of today and/or the near term forecast, which mountain do you recommend we hit in regards to how much snow it currently has. Thanks!
I will be hitting SLC throughout this season for business so will tack on an extra day to board each time :)
What kind of riding do you do/looking to get out of a resort? Park/Powder/Steeps/Chutes/Bowls/Trees/Cliffs?
There are a lot of choices in SLC/Utah. Each offering something different.
But be aware, that no matter where you go in the US/CA december 3rd is very early in the ski season, so a lot of places wont have speculator coverage. But UT/CO/PNW will have more than most.
Sorry I didn't clarify. I was looking for the mountain that had the most snow currently. I ride everything. However these days less park and more all mountain/steeps/trees etc.
Last season I was up in SLC a few times and hit Park City, Canyons, Solitude, Snowbird. Great place to board...so many choices!
If you're concerned about snow wait until you get here and play it by ear on who has the most open. Right now coverage isn't very good. That can change though pending on storms.
Brighton Solitude or Snowbird are the only decent places to hit this early

text: What am I missing? Rivera came in with the Yankees leading by three runs or less and recorded the final out. I thought Buck was wrong when he stated Rivera did not get the save, but it is not showing in the box score either. How many times do setup men start the ninth leading by 4 runs or more during the regular season, give up a run or two before the closer jogs in and scarfs up a cheap save? I've seen it a hundred times. I don't know if it's right, but it's how it has always been. Has there been a rules change?

YORKTOWN, Va. (AP) - A Marine from Hereford was killed when he fell from a third-story window at the bachelor enlisted quarters at Yorktown Naval Weapons Station, authorities said Thursday.
Lance Cpl. Gilberto L. Rodriguez, 22, fell from a window in a common area about 1 a.m. Monday, said Capt. David Griesmer, a spokesman for the Norfolk-based Marine Corps' Atlantic Forces Command.
Rodriguez died at the scene, Griesmer said. Rodriguez was off duty when he fell, Griesmer said.
The Naval Criminal Investigative Service is investigating, but foul play is not suspected, Griesmer said. No one witnessed the fall, he said.
Rodriguez was a member of the 2nd Fleet Anti-Terrorism Security Team Company, based at Yorktown, Griesmer said. He lived in the bachelor quarters.

Dear Editor,
I often walk in the morning at the Jerry Blackwell Sports Complex track at Gahagan. We are very lucky to have it in our community. I think the place is awesome and beautifully maintained. My friends coach ball at this park for the children of this community.
However, I'm always really disappointed to see how our community trashes a place that they are blessed to have. I get there early right before the maintenance workers. There are boiled peanuts shells, discard bottles, litter, food containers randomly thrown everywhere around the bleachers and the field. I then see these maintenance men have to pick up other's disgusting trash. I've even seen these grown men in the rain picking up nasty, wet garbage that rude people left for them. It makes me mad for them. I can see how hard these men work to keep the place clean, mow, and all the other maintenance issues that need to be done. I guess people just think the garbage magically disappears. No, some men with enough work to do already are picking up after people who act like two-year olds.
Everyone--please show respect for the Jerry Blackwell Sports Complex and the men that work hard to maintain it.

RESERVATIONS: We accept VISA and Mastercard. Reservations and current availability of each of our five studios can be found on our Bears' Place Guest House website (bearsplacekona).
We have enjoyed exploring the Big Island for over 25 years and love to share our island home with guests from around the world. As fellow travelers, we know how to make guests feel at home and welcome. We designed and built Bears' Place ourselves specifically as a Guest House in 2007. Having been in the Hawaii vacation accommodation business since the 1980s, we knew what features the home needed to provide guests with a great vacation experience. Our third generation of family members are now guest house hosts in training.
We chose the location, because we felt it was the best place to live on the island - close to our favorite beaches, handy to shopping and dining, close to a gorgeous golf course and a short drive to the airport. The hillside location makes for lovely ocean views of the Kona Coast, and the elevation of 1600 feet gives us the perfect year round temperature, so heating and cooling aren't necessary.
One of the nice things about the four spacious studios that comprise the guest house is that they also work great for family reunions and wedding parties - guests who want to have the whole home to themselves. Guests can cook meals in the full kitchen and have fun together, yet they can also choose to enjoy the privacy of their own space, complete with kitchenette for that early morning cup of coffee or late night snack.
Nice place to stay, near Kailua and the beautiful beaches of North Kona/South Kohala. Rooms are perfect, big and clean, with a nice lanai and stuff to cook on the room. Our hostess were nice and friendly, and they gave us nice tips about where to go for bodyboarding and snorkel. If we ever go back to Hawaii we will stay back with them. Thanks!
We enjoyed meeting Nanette and her mother Anne and staying three nights at their Bears' Place Guest House. It's located high up in a residential neighborhood and easy driving distance to any place on the Kona side of the Island. We were in the second floor Plumerial Suite and the only disappointment was the haze that kept ocean view limited. We ran into that on our entire Hawaii visit. The unit was very neat, clean and well furnished. We enjoyed the beaches, shops and eating places in the area. Compared to Oahu, getting around on the Big Island as far a traffic and road conditions is a dream. We would stay with them again and would recommend to family and friends.
My wife and I spent five nights in this lovely guest house run by Anne and Nanette and were very impressed how every detail was thought out with practicality and efficiency. The Orchid Room had a fully equipped kitchen with all the utensils, pots and pans, coffee, tea, coffee maker, toaster, etc. The refrigerator had an ice maker and inside we found two huge homemade muffins and two fresh fruit plates as welcome treats. And they tasted so good!
The queen size bed was very comfortable and lanai offered lounge chairs, a table with chairs. We often enjoyed peaceful serenity there with a glass of wine.
The Bear's Place guest house had a great location in a residential area, 10-15 min from the airport. We appreciated a beach cooler, beach chairs, beach umbrella and towels which was above our expectations. The owners, Anne and Nanette, came to greet us personally upon arrival and provided a lot of suggestions where to shop and what to see. We definitively recommend The Bear's Place guest house and would love to come back soon.
We stayed at Nanette's Place for three nights, last November. It's beautiful, big and cozy, we felt at home. Nanette is very welcoming, the hibiscus room has all facilities to cook, a balcony and we can make our laundry. It's 10 minutes drive to Kona. Wonderful stay, many thanks !
Our stay in Kalua Kona was most pleasant and enjoyable! Our 10 days of exploring the Island went smoothly to a large degree because of being able to settle into the comfortable, clean, quiet and relaxing suite and beautiful natural surroundings we experienced while staying at Bear's Place Guest House. We had wanted to find a pleasant alternative to a condo or hotel and were drawn to the website for Bear's Place Guest House. When we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised at the attention to small details that gave our accommodation a personal touch, eg. finding a plate of fresh fruit and muffins and orchid in the fridge for us to enjoy the first morning. Our suite was very well supplied with everything from extra blankets and linens for an extra sleeping bed, to a well stocked kitchenette giving us the complete flexibility to plan for preparing meals if we so chose. We loved eating and sitting under the covered and private lanai outside, surrounded by banana plants and inquisitive geckos. The design of the guest house ensures each suite to have a full amount of privacy and independence. We made good use of the free WIFI service provided to check emails etc. We were able to use the amenities of Bear's Place o do our own laundry and dishes, and be able to even pack a provided cooler to take with us on daytrips. We appreciated being higher on the sloped hills above Kona where it was both cooler and quieter. Bear's Place is conveniently located only within 15-20 minutes driving of downtown Kona. , or 10 minutes from the Kona airport. Travelling north on the Island was super easy using the nearby Mamalaoha Highway. Only a mile away from Bear's Place is also a convenience store and gas pump, with a good restaurant/pizza service inside from which to order take- out food. We would certainly highly recommend Bear's Place to anyone visiting Kalua Kona! Thank you to our welcoming and hospitable hosts, Nanette and Anne!
We enjoyed our stay. Bears Place was centrally located, clean and comfortable. Nanette and Anne did all they could to make us feel at home -- from leaving a breakfast in the refrigerator to leaving a snack for us each night.
We truly enjoyed our 3 night stay in the Orchid suite. Very comfortable and the owners were warm and welcoming. An incredible value. We will recommend the Bears' Place to our friends and family!
A great home-base for exploring the Big Island of Hawaii. Centrally located 7 miles north of downtown Kailua Kona, at a comfortable elevation in a quiet neighborhood, we are 10-15 minutes from the airport and the beautiful beaches along the Kona-Kohala Coast. We are half a mile ifrom the picturesque Makalei Hawaii Golf Course. Waimea is a half hour drive, and Hilo and Volcanoes National Park make a great day trip.
Other Activities: Whalewatching, manta ray diving, zip lining, swimming with dolphins, stand up paddle boarding, kayaking and boogieboarding.

Dougherty County Superintendent David Mosely has released the following statement regarding his employment status with the Dougherty County School System:
In an effort to fully comply with the rules and regulations of Georgia Teacher Retirement, I have decided my best option is to continue my role as interim superintendent as a part-time contract employee of the board, know in education as a "49-percenter," through June 30, 2014.
Parents, students and citizens can rest assured I will continue to give my best effort to improve the school district. I have communicated by the email to board members, below, my desire to continue serving in the capacity of interim superintendent.
Below is the email sent to the Dougherty County School Board:
This is to inform you that the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia did not accept the employment contract amendment you approved at the October 7th meeting. I have discussed this matter with Mr. Coleman and have asked him to prepare another amendment that provides for the following:
The employment cannot exceed 49% of the full-time hours of the position
A monthly salary of $7,145.83 (49% of the established full-time rate, per my original contract)
Reimbursement of actual living expenses (rent, travel, utilities, cable TV and internet)
Not only do I feel these proposed contractual arrangements will prove satisfactory to TRS and will allow us to proceed with the business of school improvement, I also feel the approval of these changes will provide some relief for those of you who are receiving negative feedback regarding my salary.

On Tap Today: Return of the alt-country angel (and friends)
Tuesday's generally not much of a day for music, at least not during this stubborn Milwaukee winter (c'mon, spring - get here already). But today's not an ordinary Tuesday.
Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell - two of American music's singular voices who, by the way, are longtime friends - are at the Pabst Theater tonight at 8, sharing music from their new album, "Old Yellow Moon." Their opening act ain't no slouch either: singer-songwriter-guitarist-legend Richard Thompson, performing with his Electric Trio. »Read Full Blog Post

Under Tami Workentin's direction, Milwaukee Chamber Theatre produced the first of these light comedies, with Matt Daniels as Jeeves, in 2010. In "Bloom," Workentin again directs and Daniels returns as Jeeves. The remaining characters and actors are all new, as is the setting. »Read Full Article

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Gran Ronda Barcelona
Average hotel
We stayed for 5 nights at the end of February. Our first room was the size of a match box! When i went to reception they offered me a bigger room, so we moved. The second room was huge - its pot luck what size room you end up with! But the sink was broken. The third room was also large and at the front with a balcony which was nice. But the rooms lacked attention to detail - bulbs not working and wallpaper hanging off. There is no bath or iron as stated on the hotels web site. However, the location is fantastic (5 minutes walk to las Ramblas), the level of cleanliness exceptional and the free internet access useful. The staff were ok, but the cleaners woke us up several mornings and then one morning we received a non-requested wake up phone call - at 0645! Overall, for cleanliness, location and a bed to sleep in this hotel is fine, but not reccommended for anything more than that.
Excellent choice
My girlfriend and I stayed in Gran Ronda at the beginning of February for 2 nights. The Hotel is very modern, with glass and timber decoration on the inside. The glass lift where you can see the atrium is brilliant as well as the centre of the reception where you can see the glass painted roof 6 stories up. Very impressive.
The bedroom was a bit small but you get used to it as the Flat TV, the spotless bathroom and the contemporary design of the room and its location [10 mins walk from the centre square] cover for that.
The hotel was an excellent value for money and I surely recommend it to everyone.
Lovely hotel in ideal location
I stayed here with my girlfriend at the end of january for four nights and i have to say i have no faults with it at all. As mentioned on other reviews its a short walk from la ramblas with the university at the top of the road. On the day we arrived at 12 we booked in and were told our room was not ready which is not surrising seeming like it was quite early but were allowed to leave our luggage in a locked cupboard which was very handy. The room was tastefully furnished (flat screen TV!!)and the bathroom was spotless and the shower was nice and strong which i like. We didnt eat in the hotel as there were so many cafes and restaurants around and we spent most of our time checking out the fantastic sights barcelona has to offer. the staff were a small bit firm but every time i talked to them they were curtious and mannerly and when we left they were very accommodating on booking taxi's and helping us with our luggage. There was just one thing but its a problem with all hotels in spain, the walls are quite thin so sounds from surrounding rooms can be heard quite clearly, so if you are offended by certain 'sounds' then best bring some ear plugs. It only happened one night and last only 10 or 15 minutes but was quite clear. I would recommended this hotel to all my friends.
Modern, trendy and great location
We stayed at the Apsis Gran Ronda for 3 nights in January 2006. The hotel is a very nice modern hotel wih a traditional facade. It is located approx 5 minutes walk from La Rambla and Place de Catalonia on a quiet street. We only had breakfast in the hotel on the last day as this was €11pp...it was basic enough and for some reason the dining room was roasting....the breakfast is not very good value compared to the miriad little restaurants/cafes when you venture out into the streets of barcelona. The room we stayed in was very tastefully decorated with a modern twist. We had a room at the front of the building looking out onto the street, we had a small wrought iron balcony and double doors which was nice too. Everything in the room was perfect and very comfortable, no problems at all - and the bathroom was brand new and very trendy! The staff weren't overly gushingly friendly but were helpful if needed so that was fine by us - there's a tiny bar at the hotel but we didn't venture down as each time we walked by there wan't anyone sitting at it or serving. There's too much to do in Barcelona to be sitting in your hotel bar anyway! This is a fab hotel if you want a nice comfy room and a lovely central safe location to base yourself... Do the bus tour, it's fun and great to see everything at once - especially the Segradia Familia. Also the restaurants in the Barri Gothic are FAB and very cheap so go exploring - don't just stick to Rambla - or if ya do then have a late nite digestif in Cafe de L'Opera
Nice modern hotel
I stayed here only one night in January 2006 and
it was satisfactory. My room was also clean, modern and with flat screen (only on german channel DSF)
The staff was friendly.
The location is ok, but there are better locations.
The rate was also very good (but it was January), so if it is like this again, I will come back.
Nice rooms..unhelpful staff
my room was great. clean, modern, with flat screen tv. location of hotel is great. you are close to Las Ramblas, the metro, all the shopping and restaurants you could ever want. I got a great rate (50-60 euro per night). However I found the staff extremely unhelpful. They could not give me costs for incidentals and there were no tourist materials in the lobby. I would recommend this hotel for a very independent budget traveler who does not need much help from the hotel staff.
A brand new hotel
This hotel is a little gem that's situated very close to Universitat, Plaza Catalunya and Ramblas. But this street is not as busy as those around Catalunya or Ramblas so you can get a good night's sleep and be refreshed for another day of exploring. Rooms are very tastefully furnished. Wooden floors. Very nice fittings in the bathroom. And you must see that flat screen tv! We had a good-sized shower. They have free internet access in the lobby. And are close to Metros and buses. We did not have breakfast included but there are many Starbucks, Dunking Donuts, McDonalds, and smaller coffee shops close by. Staff was helpful in providing us with maps and information on places to go and how to get there. I'll definitely stay here again.

Leah and I told him we were hoping to go out and eat somewhere that serves seafood or traditional Spanish foods. However, Fede informed us that eating out was 'not in his budget' so we should just eat what he makes. And once again Leah and I felt obliged to ...

Q&A: Philip Galanes' 'Social Q's' in the age of digitalism
Once a week Philip Galanes answers questions about how to act and react in a polite society - a different path from his livelihood as an entertainment lawyer. And his job as an interior design consultant for private clients. And another job as a novelist, first with "Father's Day" in 2004 and then with "Emma's Table" in 2008.
But the questions are perfect for his Social Q's column, which runs each Sunday in The New York Times. Galanes gathered several of his most popular and most peculiar questions in a book called "Social Q's: How to Survive the Quirks, Quandaries, and Quagmires of Today" (Simon & Schuster). »Read Full Article
Singing, acting both stellar in 'Figaro'
Actors are taught to act and opera singers are taught to sing - and all too rarely do the twain really meet.
The Florentine Opera Company's production of Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro," directed by Candace Evans, cast that notion aside Friday evening with a spot-on blend of absolutely sterling singing and audience-connected acting. »Read Full Article
Theatre Gigante taps dark, creative energy in 'Electra'
While her father is out of town on business, her mother takes a lover. When her father comes home, Mom and her new consort stab him. She herself is thrown out of the house. Her baby brother now lives in exile.
No wonder Electra has a complex. The question is whether her righteous anger regarding the murder of her father (Agamemnon) can justify plotting with her brother (Orestes) to murder Mom (Clytemnestra) and Mom's new squeeze (Aegisthus). »Read Full Article

We are experiencing a pullback in precious metals and mining stocks as investors react momentarily to a purported better than expected jobs report. It is reported that the unemployment rate increased despite adding 171,000 new jobs. The numbers look abysmal. However, the media reports that the economy is picking up and no more QE will be needed. Hence, precious metals are hammered. We have seen this before where investors are shaken out during corrections while the long term gold and silver players add more on pullbacks. Now gold and silver are in correction mode and beginning to reach key reversal levels. Our readers know that there will be pullbacks to shakeout investors from the long term upward trend and a base may be formed to be able to regain the technical strength to break through all time highs. The U.S. will continue to keep interest rates at record lows to pay down skyrocketing debts. This will devalue the dollar causing a long term inflation which will continue to cause the value of gold and silver to be the ultimate safe haven at this time. Precious metals are selling off and the weak hands may be shaken out soon as we reach oversold levels. Investors may be misdirected out of their core positions in precious metals and miners at at time when we may see a reversal and a move into new all time highs in gold and silver. Gold (GLD) is the most oversold since May, where we saw a major reversal and eventual breakout in August on the open ended QE3 announcement. Notice now that gold has pulled back to that breakout area, its 50% retracement and six month uptrend. It is also pulling back to the 200 day moving average. This is a healthy and normal correction with an extremely strong technical support area. We may see a possible reversal and the strong hands regain control at these critical technical levels. We are once again going through a time for testing of our essential position in wealth in the earth equities. Investors are experiencing pain at a time that it is easy to throw in the towel and run to the sidelines in the form of cash and treasuries. For many of my readers we know this could be a snare exactly at the wrong time. We have Central Banks all over the world devaluing currencies through quantitative easing, the Fiscal Cliff is around the corner which could mean another credit downgrades and don't forget about nuclear Iran. These are all fundamental forces which could send not only oil and gold higher but silver soaring. Silver has made a 50% retracement of its July to October move and is the most oversold since the July reversal. Silver looks like it is coming into major support at $30 at the 200 day moving average and rising uptrend. The demand for silver could rise rapidly as an alternative to fiat currency not only for American citizens, but in all the regions where currency debasement are taking place. Silver is one of the easiest alternatives for the common individual to diversify his holdings away from fiat currency as it is more affordable and fungible than gold. Also gold is currently overvalued to silver according to the historic mean of the gold-silver ratio. Silver provides a cheap alternative for the working-middle class citizen. Look for $30 to be a strong base for the silver price. We reiterate, the markets are like a casino, where the House tries to discourage the majority of the players who go home empty handed, while a select few go home winners. We have learned that market makers look at the same charts that we do and use them to fake out investors only to put in important reversals at support areas. This is exactly what is happening now. Charts can serve to fake us out. The shorts are taking advantage of the low volume and uncertainty originating from Hurricane Sandy and the upcoming U.S. election. Remember politicians tend to make promises during campaigns which are forgotten as soon as the election is over. Not much will change in our view. Whoever is elected will be facing significant hurdles both economically and geopolitically. Many of the major players and banks in Manhattan have not yet returned to the market due to the Hurricane and Election. The volume is low at a time during which the next base is being established for eventual lift-offs into new highs possibly right after the vote. Remember, that the long range technical picture of the upward trajectory of wealth in the earth equities is still intact and undergoing a needed period of rest and rehabilitation in this ongoing long term upward cycle. We had a powerful move up-move this summer as an open ended QE3 was announced. Despite the recent myopic focus of investors from the jobs report, the world ignores major gold and silver swans such as the recently announced open ended QE3 and its impact on the U.S. dollar. We are deluged by global instabilities, fiscal cliffs and unsustainable sovereign debt. Public sentiment in the junior miners is at a record low. Some small explorers are selling at fractions of their true value. We may be far from a bubble in precious metals indicated by this negative sentiment in the sector. At the time of a bubble, junior mining equities would be selling at multiples of their true value. Instead, they currently represent fire-sale purchases as some great assets are being completely overlooked by the masses. The juniors continue to be bought by major players such as the emerging nations who are placing large bets on the long term upward trend in our chosen sectors of gold, silver, uranium and rare earths. Note China continues to purchase undervalued miners in North America and is opening banks to finance mine development. This was approved by our own Federal Reserve. The meaning of this activity is that this volatility in precious metals and mining equities while striking panic is just a test to shake us out. This is precisely a time not to be concerned. The more sophisticated buyers may be taking advantage of the situation to hold on and indeed add to positions for those who were not able to get in before this summer breakout. Remember, bull trends in gold and silver rise on walls of worry. Healthy pullbacks afford secondary opportunities. We may be basing and bottoming right now. A powerful reversal could occur after the election. In fact, the junior miners are outrageously oversold and represent a deeply discounted contrarian opportunity. Many of our readers were concerned by some brokers putting downgrades on the uranium miners. These bearish downgrades are lovely music to our ears. Remember these are the same banks which may be financing these companies at record lows. Is the same old game of smart money buying low when nobody wants it and selling it to the masses at record highs being played? There may be additional short selling for the period immediately ahead before the election. The negative sentiment and oversold conditions in precious metals and mining equities are the major ingredients for the coming reversal which could be a year end rally in precious metals and miners into new highs.

It continues to blow my mind that "investors" do not do any homework.1. Subscription - Do you know what that actually is? or where that money is coming from?RS's "subscription" is for the online games and online tutors. When the customer buys the program they get a set amount of time to use play these games and get online tutors. IMPORTANT: the amount of "free" use of these is based on how many levels they purchase. If they get 5 levels they get 15 FIFTEEN months free. For one level I believe it's 3 mths or so. This is important because the "subscription" income seen ONLY IF and WHEN the customer reaches the end of that set time AND DECIDES to continue it, i.e., paying to renew.IMPORTANT: The customer MUST have high-speed Internet connection to play games and have the online tutor. If they dont, or, if they choose not to take advantage of those online services.... there will be ZERO subscription incomeIMPORTANT: RS has never said (of course) how many users are actually using the online services. I bet very few.IMPORTANT: V4 totale has up to recently been only available in the US and JUST available in Japan. Where is alll this income going to come from?On a side note, they ARE testing true subscriptions (3 and 6 mth) ONLY for those language with 5 levels but not US/UK English (in the US market)This has only recently began, and not available at the kiosks.They had these in the past but eliminated them btw.Btw, just checked out the other intl sites and they are offering 6-12 mth subscriptions.And for the final point. it is international where all the true competition really is.RS cant even get their US market halfway right, what makes you think they can do it international.RS has been a true company for at least 10 years yet still cannot get their !$#@ together.
RS was taken public with the sole goal of flipping it for a profit. Thats what VC companies do, and they also tried to do a secondary too (but failed).They just concentrated on selling yellow boxes with zero forward thinking about new technologies coming. They thought it would be a quick flip and money would be made. No need to look at the future.None of the managements has any experience with languages (ex. CEO). Matter a fact, many come from AOL brought over by COO Eichmann who is no longer there. We all know about AOL. RS has always been a follower & always takes way too much time doing things.Thats why there are no apps for iphone, ipads or anything else. Instead they spend a bunch of money on bs games that no one uses. And most importantly, thats why so much money is/was put into ads & marketing. Brand recognition.
"Thats why there are no apps for iphone, ipads or anything else"- You are not current with you info. Mobile app is available for download for you smart device.
And that transition would require a radical restructuring of their business model and cost structure. To do institutional sales, you will need a large commissioned sales force and much better service and support than they have now(there are a lot of complaints in product reviews about RST's technical support). And paying all of those online tutors is a very different business model than with just packaged software.And it's not like RST has any big built in advantage in that market either. As with apps and other packaged software, a lot of what they are offering is free or much cheaper elsewhere. And then you still have to restructure the consumer/retail part of the business. That probably means shrinking distribution, imo, which will be costly due to potential writeoffs.The huge loss that the company guided to in Q1 is telling you that their business model is in trouble, imo. But you're right, 'investors' often don't do their homework anymore.
Great now you are using definition refinements to support your case. The app is the companion, the complement, the exception of the main learning system. Takeaway: Learning a new language is an endeavor, not easily achieved with mobile devices and free apps. For those who are outcome driven, the binary decision to go forth or not with an investment in RS tool is a function of the expected time, effort, and efficacy to the cause. The tool provides structured learning and is a proven system. Segmentation and pricing is their challenge not the tool nor the delivery model (SaaS).
You right, but we are not arguing here if the software is good are not.We are discussing IF the company has any strategic sense & the fact IF they were innovative and created a true app they would have sold sooo much more at much more profit.Take for example their demos disks. Those cost 1$+ to make not incl. shipping. They constantly advertise those demo disks and know for a fact they are sent out by the thousands. Think how much they would save & how much more exposure they would get if they made a simple demo app for each language. Thats what i call innovation. What exactly is "segmentation", I have yet to see any kind of definition for that term.And delivery IS their challenge. Do they continue to sell yellow boxes w/ risk of piracy or to mention all the overhand to make those boxes not to mention shippingOr, do it all online (better margins).Pricing (profit) is directly related to delivery method

To make a 3D Christmas tree cookie you will need:
- Circle Cookies in graduated sizes (see below)
- Green 10-Second Glaze
- Gold 10-Second Glaze
- White 10-Secod Glaze
- Red 10-Second Glaze
- Silver (Grey) 10-Second Glaze
- Parchment Paper
- White Sanding Sugar
- Red Disco Dust
- Silver Disco Dust
- Gold Disco Dust
Decide how tall you'd like your tree to stand.
The one pictured above is about 12" tall.
I used all of the round and fluted cutters from this set with a few added
mini fluted circles for the very top.....a total of 16 cookies.
On "baking day", also plan to make glaze icing transfers in preparation for "decorating day".
First I made some tree branches to add dimension to the tree itself.
Simply pipe green branches onto parchment paper and allow to dry overnight.
Let your imagination run with the ornament transfers.
If you use disco dust.....prepare for a mess......and sparkly decor in your house for days!
For mine I made.......
red hearts with red disco dust sprinkled over them...
Silver (grey) round ornaments with silver disco dust....
Snowflakes with white sanding sugar.....
and candy canes with white glaze and red stripes added while the white was still wet.
I failed to take photos of the stars I made for the tops of the trees.
I used gold disco dust on them.......the same method used to create the hearts and silver ornaments.
Allow all of these to dry overnight on the parchment paper.
The next day you can remove them easily.
On decorating day, assemble your circles in the order you will glue them with green glaze.
Add glaze and let the assembly begin! :)
Starting at the top, cover the entire tree with green glaze.
Push the branch icing transfers into the wet icing.
Add your ornaments all over the tree.
And for the grand finale.....add the sparkly golden star to the top.
To get the star to dry in place, I taped a stick to my shelf rack at the right height
behind the star to keep it from falling off the tree (see photo).
Allow the tree to dry overnight before moving it.
If you'd like to make a small version of this tree,
(one that will fit in the new BRP ornament boxes.....)
you do everything the same as above, but on a much smaller scale.
(I used two tiny mini fluted circles plus the three smallest cutters in the set above.)
Unfortunately, the cute gold star makes the tree too tall for the BRP box
so you'll have to leave it off if you're using the boxes....or make it much smaller.
It's a challenging cookie project......
but well worth the oooos.....and ahhhhs you'll hear when they see this tree on display as a centerpiece,
or receive the mini tree in that cute little box. :)

Now that President Obama is all settled in to his second term, campaign adviser David Axelrod is lending a hand to Italian Prime Minister Mario
And while Axelrod has faced a wide, wide variety of attack ads in his time, we're pretty sure he's never seen one quite like this. The ad, which is featured on the party's website, has been translated as, "A guru recommended to Monti to attack his opponents. But the guru, sooner or later, will leave and Italy's problems will remain." Fair enough — Axelrod is an American political strategist working abroad, after all.

We stayed here on our honeymoon trip and it was wonderful! There's a lot of history in this beautiful home, and Paco has it packed with amazing art. The patio and garden were beautiful and inviting. The staff were all very kind and helpful, including one of Paco's sons! They saw that we had a couple of bottles of wine in our room and provided us with wine glasses without our having to ask. The breakfasts were delicious with many choices ranging from eggs to granola to made-to-order belgian waffles. We will definitely stay here again. My only criticism would be that the room we stayed in was large, but just a bit overcrowded with furniture. But we had plenty of places to sit!

I had the pleasure of staying here for one night albeit a very busy night because of the "Solar Fest" (which I didn't know when I made the reservation. Despite the chaos Pablo was very gracious and the Inn itself is beautiful. We stayed in the Sonrisa room which was even better than the pics. Breakfast was very nice as well although pretty basic - waffles were good, hard boiled eggs... I would definitely return given the opportunity.

At the end of 2007 my little sister and I decided to drive west for a road trip to Santa Fe, Taos and Frisco, CO (we're from Chicago). Out of all of hotels and B&B, La Dona Luz was by far our favorite. The fireplace made the room cozy and the staff was very helpful. We can't wait to get back in the summer when the gardens are in full bloom. It is also located in the heart of Taos so walking to all the shops was super easy! We also recommend breakfast at Michael's while you're in town -there's nothing like it. We also brought my dog with and had no hassle checking her in with us too! Overall, this place is Taos through and through! We highly recommend it.
