Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
This question is for CoachJenK. When you have a chance, I just would like to talk to you. You always make me feel a little better. I still go to my therapist and I'm actually seeing her today. I still haven't had a boyfriend or a date. I didn't do the volunteering thing you suggested. I still have intense feelings for my roommates (ex?) boyfriend. He doesn't feel the same. He's definitely had time to say it but no he comes home with my roommate tonight. So yeah, that's done and I feel like I can't even be his friend anymore because it hurts.
But I realized my whole desperation for dating started when my grandfather got really sick last July. He had leukemia and last year was about the 10th year he's lived with it. He stopped getting chemo and in March said he would start again, but by then it was too late and his body couldn't fight the reoccurring pneumonia and urinary tract infections he kept getting. He passed away Thursday night. I still can't believe he's gone. But since then I've talked on here and with my therapist and it was mentioned that the dating might be an obsessive thought brought on by anxiety. Makes sense, but I still would like to date and not feel like an unwanted misfit.
Meanwhile, 2 weeks ago my roommate broke up with her boyfriend. First she basically wanted to know when they were going to get married and have kids and he realized its no time soon and he can't even picture it with her. Then when they were going to talk through things he had all these reasons for not wanting to get back together. But then she went out tonight and he showed up at the bar and then came home with her. It's like I feel crushed on so many levels. I went to the movies with him last Sunday while they were still broken up. I didn't really see this coming and especially not now. It's too painful to be his friend when I have more than friend feelings.
Also, I feel like I'm never going to have anyone. I appreciate you saying all the things you usually say about working on my weight and going out and all that. But I feel like I'm the ultimate exception to the rule. The only men ever interested in men are older than my father. I've never had a boyfriend, I'm still a virgin, and I've never had a second date. I'm 36. I don't see anything changing unless I settle for an old man.
I was taking an online dating course by April Beyer which is really good and helpful but I feel like its helpful for people who have had dates, not me. I feel like something is wrong with me. Yes, I'm overweight but it's never gotten me down like this until now.
I feel absolutely lost. My life is broken and I don't feel like there's anyway to fix it. I really don't know what to do at this point.
And while volunteering is great, its not me. I guess eventually when I realize that alone is all I'm ever going to know, then volunteering will be something to do, but I don't see any man ever wanting me because no one ever has.
My name is ***** ***** I am the Moderator for this topic. Coach JenK is not available right now, but I have sent her a message to follow up with you here, when she comes back online. If I can help further, please let me know. Thank you for your continued patience!
Thank you!
No that's ok. Thanks for asking. It's been a busy weekend and I haven't really been around anyway. Thanks again.
I am sorry but unfortunately I have exhausted all of my efforts to find a professional to answer your question. Since we have such a wide variety of professionals who come on randomly, it is possible that your question could be answered at a later time. You may repost it in a day or two if you'd like. Its difficult to predict which professionals will be on at which day and time. Again, I am sorry for the inconvenience.
Thank you,
Thanks. That's why I requested CoachJenK. People aren't too interested in helping me here. Thanks.
It's ok for the late reply. I wasn't expecting any mind blowing explanation or revelations, but you do seem to make me feel better which is why I wanted to talk to you.
As far as the roommates ex, after this weekend the only thing I can say about him is "ew". He is a nice and caring guy but this weekend when I needed my friends the most, he pretty much ignored me. We always talked and had a great relationship before, but I guess before they broke up my roommate said how the relationship I have with him upsets her because he tells me things he never tells her. So I think he's taking that as a reason not to talk to me so that he can ease her into the "friends with benefits" relationship that he wants. She cries every day because that's not what she wants at all and seeing how selfish he's being now, to her feelings and to my grief, it's disgusting to me.
It's like in addition to losing my grandfather last week, I lost a good friend. I've never had a guy friend that I felt that close to, and now he disgusts me. My emotions for him are back to the days when my roommate first started dating him and I just considered him another of her loser boyfriends. Yes, for the most part he's still caring to her, but it only seems to be because he knows he can't be pressured for marriage and kids by her in the awkward relationship they have going on now.
But other than his personality this weekend, he's the kind of guy I would like. But I don't see that happening for me at all. I feel like to get anyone, I would have to settle. Today I asked my roommate to not let me meet anyone from a dating site for a few months because I just need to feel close to someone now and I know it will lead me to a lot of bad decisions.
As far as my comfort zone, EVERYTHING seems out of my comfort zone. I just worry that I'm going to latch onto the first guy that takes any interest in me.
Ok... mini-mind blowing? :)
Thank you. I think I will still always worry about settling and not knowing what I should be doing. My roommate is very helpful and says that basically no one knows what they should be doing. But I still feel like I'm at a greater disadvantage than most. Also, I told my roommate Friday and then my therapist Saturday that I feel like my grandfather and my dad have been the most important men in my life especially since I haven't dated. And when both of them are gone, what am I going to do? I feel a little bit lost.
My roommate also recently lost her grandfather so she's been very helpful this week, despite going through her own drama with the guy. She plans to go with me to meet up groups that go to the nearby racetrack and to local bars. At least then both of us will meet new people and still be around someone we're comfortable with. That is definitely out of both of our comfort zones.
And other than volunteering, matchmakers that charge ridiculous amounts of money, and bars, I really don't know where to meet men and I would especially like one with the same interests as mine. It seems really rare that a guy with my interests is actually interested in a girl like men. He doesn't have to be identical to men, but a lot in common would be nice because I hate feeling the odd one out because I still like video games and anime.
I'm still feeling about the same if not worse.
My roommate doesn't really talk to her ex any more. For a while she had about 6 guys (including the ex) to choose from. Then she narrowed it down to one. Of course it's the one she wasn't interested in when they met and she tried to pawn him off on me because he is more my type, but like I told her, it doesn't work that way. He's interested in her and it's not like we're twins and it'd be easy for him to transfer that interest to me. After she broke up with the ex she was abstaining from sex to get to know the guys before adding sex, but now with this guy she thinks it's time.
Yay for her but I'm in the same exact position I've been in the last 7 years. On Sunday he came over to watch tv with us and I couldn't help but think its the same as it's always been. She's cuddled on the couch with someone and I'm still wondering what it feels like to cuddle. Its making me absolutely miserable. I feel like my life is over. I'm so far behind in social experience that I'm never going to feel "right" in my own skin. I'm stuck again.
As far as doing things out of my comfort zone, I took a bartending class and a Japanese class. I wanted to meet people with similar interests which is why the Japanese class, but the amount of people in the class was small and I didn't make any friends. Same basic idea for the bartending class. There was a woman in that class that barely spoke English so we helped each other with things but other than that, I didn't really talk to anyone.
I am looking into "themed" bars. I live near the Jersey shore so there are a lot of options it's just weeding out things I hate, like just sitting there watching drunk people. My roommate's new bf has taken her to a bar that has skeeball tournaments. That sounds like fun and something I would do. I'm just looking for similar type bars that are closer. Ideally, if a Dave & Buster's opened nearby I'd be there every weekend because that's my kind of fun.
I'm also looking into one day classes at the local community colleges since I'm located close to 2 of them.
I feel like I'm spending so much time alone that all its doing is giving me time to think of how lonely I feel. My roommate sometimes stays home to watch movies with me, but often she cancels to hang out at the bar with the new guy or her cousin. Tomorrow she's going out with her friends from work and I told her if they go somewhere local I'll go because at least it will be easy for me to get home when I get bored, because I always get bored. They just go to the bar and drink all day/night. I can't do that, mostly because it's ridiculously boring.
I spend a lot of time feeling hopeless/helpless. Also, I still see my therapist, and I see the psych once a month for med visits, but I feel like I don't know what to say to the psych because she puts so much focus on my weight it actually makes me feel worse. I tell her as far as work I'm feeling better but I'm still lonely and want to date. Her answer? Why did you wait so long to start working on your weight then? Not what I need to hear especially since through talking with my therapist I see that food is how I've comforted myself ever since I was about 10. If I take away that then I have nothing to help get through things.
Also last night my dog woke me up in the middle of the night and I just happened to turn on the tv when a show on Logo was coming on called "Bad Sex" and the episode was about a 37 yr old named Stella who was overweight, African American, and still a virgin. I felt like I was meant to watch that episode. But it still didn't make me feel better because she had no trouble dating and had actually had a few relationships, but she had a fear of penetration that holds her back. I have no such fear. I just can't get a date. But it was good to see someone my age having a similar struggle.
As far as food and the psych though, its to the point that I have a reminder on my phone that "food is for people who get dates" because apparently if I'm so big no one wants me than I don't need to be eating. And even as I say that I know it's not right. It's making me hate myself and I've never been like that before. I feel like I'm never going to be good enough, or fit enough, or anything so I might as well stop trying and either lay down and die or lay down with ANYONE... which is sad b/c I think I would have done that by now if I could ever get a second date. But ask me the same thing 3 years ago and I probably would have told you that no one has seen how great I am yet but that someone will. I really don't feel that any more. I feel like everything I've been hoping and living for is gone and there's no getting it back.
With the psychiatrist I still feel like when I mention wanting a relationship that she says basically that I can't have one until I lose weight. My roommate and one of my other friends think I need a different psych but I think I would get pretty much the same treatment from most of them. She says I need to stop thinking about relationships. It's stupid to me because I'm only getting older and my choices are going to be more and more limited. I'm not comfortable even thinking about kissing someone because I've only been kissed once. If I wait until I'm a perfect size to address that then I'll be alone forever. She makes me feel even worse about my life. I feel absolutely hopeless. Last time I told her I was feeling better about work, things were better at home (before my roommate started dating again) but that I feel upset when I think about what I'm missing as far as relationships. She said I shouldn't worry about that and focus on my weight. Its like relationships are only for people at a healthy weight or something.
As far as the medication, it's 40mg Prozac. I think if I hadn't had to deal with so much change this year (roommate's break up, grandfather and then uncle passing away) then it would have been fine. Even before my grandfather passed away I felt "better" and could even deal with the psych's remarks about my weight. I wasn't making any progress, but I definitely felt better. But now I'm just feeling like I'm falling apart. And she's not going to change the medication because I mentioned it once because the only thing that upsets me is relationships and she tells me to stop worrying about it and work on my weight and talk to doctors about Lapband and gastric bypass, which I don't want but nevermind that because she keeps bringing it up.
I know a big part of that is that I keep watching my roommate do things that I want to do. She dates and goes out and has fun, and I don't. It's like I don't get to and I don't know why. I'm missing a huge part of life.
And as far as not enjoying things, I like doing things with people. But I don't have a lot of people to choose from. Even now, my roommate was supposed to watch movies with me but sent a text that she'd rather be at the bar alone than at home. I hate the bar and have yet to have a good experience there that didn't make me come home crying. She's knows that.
Also, doing things alone like going to the movies, the mall, running errands just reminds me of all the years I spent doing things alone and how I'm pretty much always going to be alone. A lot of times I'll drive from one store to another running errands and stop in the parking lot to cry because it's easier for me to count the times I've run errands with someone instead of the countless times I've run errands alone. I'm sick of feeling like this and keep wondering why no one ever wants me and what am I supposed to be doing with my life because I hate it so much right now. All I have are my brother and my roommate and they have their own friends and jobs and spend tons of time without me. My work friends live too far away and I can only talk to one of them about these things. I just feel like I can't fix my life and that its all too late.
Thank you. I'm hoping to talk to the therapist today about changing psychiatrists. The psych knows how I feel about it when she talks about weight but she continues. It's been like this since March.
Last night I felt so absolutely miserable. I haven't been sleeping well but last night I know it was because I took the Prozac too close to bedtime and with too much caffeine. Then I kept asking my roommate if she needed a ride home from the bar and she said maybe so I stayed dressed. Then she tells me she's going to a diner with some "friends" from the bar and it was like the last straw. She gets to do things I don't get to do like go to diner's at 2am with guys, and I sit alone again. Everyone is living a life I want and I can't live that life. I was supposed to go to the bar with my roommate and her friends tonight (girls night out) and I don't even want to. Not only because I don't like bars but also because I just feel like I don't fit. 2 of her friends are really nice and I like them but I always feel like an outsider.
After my roommate stayed out later I drove to the hospital and sat in the parking lot of the emergency room. I couldn't stop crying. I called a helpline and asked what happens when you're having the emotional distress and you go to the emergency room. The woman explained and just talking to someone makes me feel better. I went home, cuddled with my dog and went to sleep. But today is another day and I already don't want to be around people, but I am running errands again.
Thank you and yes I already left a message for my therapist. And if I feel like this again I will go to the emergency room. I know this is all brought on by spending so much time alone meanwhile I'm watching my roommate live the life I want and not include me in things. Thank you.
Thank you for making that commitment to yourself to reach out if you are feeling so down. I know that it is hard to see your roommate out there....you have always been invited and you desire not to go because it is not your thing, but I do believe if you can get this depression to lift your desire to do things rather than be alone will feel more desirous.
You are worth it. thank you for the excellent rating as always.

It was classic Wilkinson. He was deadly accurate with the boot, inventive in posession and, on his return to action following summer shoulder surgery, robust in a physical encounter.
Wilkinson celebrated the victory by punching the air. England manager Martin Johnson may well have reacted in the same way as he begins to plan for the November internationals without the injured Danny Cipriani.
Newcastle director of rugby Steve Bates said: "Jonny was outstanding again. The drop goal suggests he is back to top form.
"He played the game really cleverly, taking people on, varying his kicking game and causing them real problems.
"He hit a few people very hard, too, so there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the shoulder."
Wilkinson, who lost the England fly-half jersey to Cipriani during the RBS 6 Nations and then missed the New Zealand tour to go under the knife, returned to action yesterday refreshed after a summer off.
That translated itself onto the field. The "new" Wilkinson has grown his hair and cast off the shackles.
"My hair was actually so long that I had to cut it myself before the game because it kept getting in my eyes," said Wilkinson.
"I've taken a good holiday over the summer. This is the new me, taking risks. I looked at the (drop goal) opportunity and thought 'if it goes over then it's two scores up and pretty much game over'.
"If not I was giving the ball straight to Northampton. I think maybe the 'new me' needs to take those sorts of risks, but I was blowing on it as it got close to the crossbar."
Andy Buist scored Newcastle's other try while Scotland wing Sean Lamont touched down for Northampton but boss Jim Mallinder cursed his side's ill-discipline.
"You know when Jonny is on the field he is going to make any mistakes pay and he certainly did that," said Mallinder.
"We're very disappointed and we need to improve before we face Wasps next week."

TINIAN, Northern Mariana Island - Today marked the beginning of 24-hour surge operations on Guam and Tinian for Marines and sailors participating in Exercise Forager Fury 2012.
Surge operations are slated to last at least 80 hours and simulate a continuous operational tempo.
"Surge operations are basically Marine Aircraft Group 12 showing in force how they can do continuous flight operations in a simulated hostile environment," said Master Sgt. Roy L. Clayton Jr., the staff noncommissioned officer in charge of Marine forces on Tinian with Marine Wing support Squadron 171, MAG-12, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III Marine Expeditionary Force. "They are training to get the maximum amount of flights and we are training to provide the best aviation ground support possible."
During the surge, MWSS-171 will provide support for various types of aircraft.
"We are expecting mostly FA-18s but we will also get some MH-60s from the Navy and some MV-22 Ospreys during surge operations," said Clayton. "Surge operations should last for at least three to four days."
In order to maintain a constant tempo, Marines and sailors will work in shifts to keep everybody fresh.
"We are going to do two rotational shifts at 12 hours each to give some of the Marines a break and bring fresh, well rested Marines in," said Clayton.
Safety is the main priority for any Marine Corps exercise and FF12 is no different.
"For the upcoming surge event, our plan is to be within a two-minute standby time to be ready for any possible emergencies that the aircraft might have," said Staff Sgt. Joaquin Moreno, an expeditionary airfield technician and runway supervisor with the squadron. "A two-minute standby is the time we are allotted during an in-flight emergency to have the arresting gear ready to take an emergency arrestment."
With the Marines on Tinian providing aviation ground support to the aircraft out of Guam, the surge is sure to be a valued training experience for all involved.

Author | exchange4media Chennai Bureau | Friday, Aug 10,2007 9:24 AM
Buoyant by the success of 'Super Dancer', Amrita TV is now gearing for 'Super Dancer Junior'. The new show will be an elimination dance contest in the folk, semi-classical, cinema, thematic choreography or fusion dance styles, on the lines of 'Super Dancer'. The half-hour show is expected to go on-air by mid-September in the 7 pm time slot.
The channel is now inviting aspirants in the age group of 10-15 years for the same. Auditions are being held in Bangalore, Chennai and Thiruvananthapuram.
Noted film choreographer Kala Master from Chennai, who has choreographed over 3,600 songs for Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi films, will be the main judge for the new show, along with a panel comprising other renowned artistes. Kala Master also was the main judge for 'Super Dancer'.
'Super Dancer Junior' will be filmed on specially designed sets with live audiences. This will be a high energy, professional, quality reality show with many noted dance celebrities participating in it.
Meanwhile, 'Super Dancer' which was launched on May 14 with 20 contestants, now has six contenders fighting for the crown with a first prize of a Suzuki Swift. The grand finale will be telecast live as one of the Amrita TV's programme menu during Onam, this month.
This apart, Amrita TV's morning programme 'Udayamritam' has been featured in 'The Limca Book of Records 2007 -- India at Her Best' for creating the longest single-shot non-fiction programme in Indian television.
Around 50 traditional artistes and 75 crew members worked in unison to create this episode of 'Udayamritam' .Unlike fiction, the team was not able to dub the audio later and so went ahead with spot recording. The entire sequence was recorded using a hand-held camera. The show was anchored by Mochitha, winner of the State Award for Best Television Presenter 2005-2006. Reji Syne was the director and Prasanth was the cameraman.
'Udayamritam' is a one-hour morning show focussing on heritage, culture, yoga and folklore, and has been telecast non-stop daily from 6.30 am to 7.30 am since the inception of the channel.

sported the S Cloud feature. There is also a new launcher, similar to the one on the Samsung Galaxy S III, and a new contacts list along with improvements to the performance of the device. A new feature lets you raise the phablet to dial the phone number of the contact that you are looking at on the screen. Unfortunately, it seems that some new bloatware comes with the update. Samsung Galaxy S II owners should be on the lookout for this new software version as well.
The update, as we said, is being sent out OTA although those with an unlocked model will have to hook up the phone to their computer and access Samsung Kies to score the new features.

Everyone has seen the stacking of bracelets, but a trend that I think is really going to take over is stacking of rings! It's just as fun as the bracelets! This Fashionista (who has a love for skulls) rocks this trend.
Rings come in such a wide range of sizes, styles and finishes. Small, dainty rings look great stacked together on one finger. This Fashionista isn't afraid to mix metals which shows off her fun personal style.
Another ring trend I've been seeing a lot is the knuckle ring. These rings rest at the top of your finger right above your joint. Knuckle rings tend to be more dainty and thinner. Etsy makes the perfect set of dainty knuckle rings at the perfect price. Larger cocktail rings can really show of your personal style, and is my favorite type. The bigger the better when it comes to rings. A good place to get affordable larger rings is Forever 21. If you like rings with more sparkle to them this blinged dome ring is perfect.
Mixing and matching rings is a good way to show of your personal style. This is such an easy trend to work because it doesn't have to look perfect!
Spotted: Balenciaga showed ring sets in their spring 2013 jewelry collection.

Proposed Methodology for Structuring an Endogenous Grazing Sector for the CARD-RCA Model, A
The CARD-RCA linear programming model of United States agriculture has evolved through more than a decade of detailed research at the Center for Agricultural and Rural Development. At the present time, the model is equipped for endogenous treatment of the production and transportation of the major crops in U.S. agriculture. An optional livestock sector is also available. The model has been used for analysis of several topics of interest to policy makers, academics, and producers in the private sector. Under contract with the Soil Conservation Service, the model is being further developed in preparation for more extensive use by the government, and several potential avenues to improvement are being explored. This paper explains the need for including rangeland and permanent pasture use as an endogenous sector in the CARD-RCA model. Also, the problems of modeling rangeland use are discussed, and a methodology for constructing the range sector is examined. This report, therefore, is preliminary in nature and intended for use of CARD, SCS, and FS personnel as they review the needs for the research project at hand. Actual documentation of the grazing sector will be prepared once the sector has been constructed and tested for use in the CARD-RCA models.

We're in for a long, hot summer. So to stave off heat stroke, we're bringing you our favorite summer treats each week as part of Frozen Friday, giving you the scoop on our favorite ice-cold recipes and party ideas to help you stay cool all summer long.
Frozen dessert on a stick. Isn't it great? With one hand holding your treat, you still have an entirely separate one free. You can steer, scroll through your phone, swat away mosquitoes — the possibilities are endless. That's why we're tipping our hat to the ice pop, one of the all-time greatest summer treats. And, since it's August and we're craving something intensely refreshing, we've tracked down the fruitiest recipes our hands can hold.
1. Frozen Yogurt Coconut Pops: The fresh fruit puree in Nadia G's coconut ice pops can be made from whatever produce you happen to have on-hand — blueberries, peaches, you name it — but what really makes their flavors perk up is a pre-serving coconut sprinkle (pictured above).
2. Vanilla Peach Pops: How can you make a vegan dessert stand up to its dairy-laden counterparts? Take a page from Love and Lemons' playbook and top fresh, ripe peaches with rich vanilla almond milk before freezing. Take that, ice cream.

Carnival Freedom 8 day July- August 2012: Carnival Freedom Cruise Review by thebigtripper
Overall Member Rating
Carnival Freedom 8 day July- August 2012
Destination: Southern Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
The cruise that I am reviewing today is the July 28 to August 5 sailing of the Carnival Freedom out of Ft. Lauderdale. ( Port Everglades ) It was an eight day cruise that called at Grand Turk, La Romana in the Dominican Republic, Aruba, and Curacao.
Part I- The "Port Experience".
My wife and I drove from the Houston, Texas area, to Ft. Lauderdale and were accompanied by another couple, who are our semi-regular "cruise mates." In spite of the 1000+ mile road trip, we actually enjoyed the journey, for the most part. Let me preface my following comments by pointing out More that we are from Texas, and as anyone from Texas can tell you, firearms are a fairly routine part of a Texas existence. That being the reality, I have a Texas Concealed Handgun License, and do carry regularly. For me to contemplate a trip of that distance through several states unarmed would not have been thinkable. By the way, the Texas CHL is perfectly valid in all the states that were traversed on this trip. One of my travel mates on this trip is a retired Texas State Trooper, and, as such, is authorized to carry a concealed handgun as well.. So, we were both armed on this trip. The point of this information follows. Our intention was to park at the parking garage at the port, but as we approached the guarded entry to the Port, we were asked if we had any firearms in the vehicle. Of course we replied in the affirmative, and the resulting "shocked, and quizzical" look from the guard was funny. He was totally taken aback, and clearly did not know how to proceed. He asked for assistance, and our identification was checked by a Sheriff's Deputy, who explained the Port's "no firearms" policy and suggested a perfectly reasonable alternative which we followed. We parked at the adjacent "Park and Go" lot, and used their very efficient shuttle service to the ship. This not only was quick and easy, but pleasant and more cost effective as well. I highly recommend using this option. Please don't assume that I am on a rant about the Port policies, because I am not. I understand the security issues. However, I do think this policy should be made clear to potential cruisers by Carnival. After all, as my wife pointed out, when the guard saw the Texas plates on our vehicle the question asked should not have been, "do you have any firearms with you,", but rather, "how many firearms do you have with you?" Surely this was not the first time that this has happened, and just as surely, it won't be the last.
Beyond this, there were no real "issues" concerning the boarding procedures at the port. They were straightforward, and as efficient as any other port that we have sailed from.
We did enjoy a display of bravado by the U.S. Coast Guard as we pulled out of Port Everglades. A pair of their high speed craft performed "showy" maneuvers alongside as we went to sea, which were clearly designed to impress the young ladies onboard. It was, however, fun to watch our "taxes at work." On a serious note, we did get to watch a real - life emergency unfold on our last day out as a Coast Guard helicopter airlifted a stricken passenger from our vessel to a hospital in Miami. A very professional display.
Part II. The Ship.
The Carnival Freedom is a reasonably new ship having been in service since 2007. It is a fairly typical example of Italian shipbuilding, in the "high density" layout that is common to modern Caribbean cruisers serving primarily American ports. That being said, I have to comment on the interior styling and appointments. The ship simply looks a bit "gaudy." Little of the interior furnishings match in any substantive way, and, in fact, in many instances they clash rather badly. In the "central staircase" area amidships it is a bit like being in a "pinball machine" with mismatched colors, golds, reds, and greens, that can make you dizzy. Don't get me wrong. The ship is clean and well maintained, it just doesn't seem to follow any logical styling path.
The staff seemed polite and reasonably efficient, with clean rooms, and pleasant personalities being the norm. Nowhere did we encounter rudeness or indifference from the crew. We utilized the "open seating" dining in the "Chic" dining room, and were most pleased by both the service and the food quality and selection. The food choices at the Lido Buffet were not as broad, and in many cases not as well prepared. It also seemed that the dining areas on the Lido Deck were, for the most part, slightly understaffed during some periods, with tables not being cleaned as quickly as one might have expected. Also, be warned, the floors in many areas of the Lido serving areas remained treacherously slippery during most of the cruise. Proceed with caution.
Our cabin was perfectly adequate with only a couple of annoying glitches. Our bathroom door would not latch closed, and we never once managed to get a TV remote control that worked, despite having it replaced. An inoperative Television was, however, repaired in a timely and efficient manner.
The layout of the ship was a bit strange in some areas. For example, to get to the miniature golf one must climb to the funnel, and walk across the active basketball court, after first picking up clubs and balls two decks below. Not very efficient, but again, a fairly modest issue. Also the location of the Adult section, "Serenity" seems a bit odd, as it offers only a limited respite from younger passengers.
A note about onboard shopping. Carnival seems to place little emphasis on the onboard shopping experience. With only two or three small, sparsely outfitted shops onboard there was little serious interest displayed. The souvenir shop opened a bit late, and store personnel didn't seem keen on selling anything. The jewelry and watch store seemed only a bit better. And in a theme common to all cruise lines, there was little in the way of toddler and small children's items. Don't cruise lines study demographics? Don't they realize how many of their customers are grandparents? Just try to find a 2T shirt on a cruise.
The ship's "ride" was reasonable with a minimum of rolling and noise. Noise on our deck (Deck 1) was about as expected with some loud talking at all hours, but not enough to cause us any serious loss of sleep. By the way, Deck 1 turned out to be a pretty good spot, especially when coming and going from ship to shore and on debarkation. Speaking of debarkation. It was, in a word, smooth. We carried our own bags, and were off the ship shortly after 6:30 a.m. No complaints here.
The ship's "entertainment" was spotty at best. It was the last voyage with the current performing troupe and it did appear at times that they were simply "going through the motions." The production numbers were adequate, but not outstanding. We sampled three of four comedians that performed on this cruise. At the "family" shows two were pretty good, but the third, a gentleman of Cuban heritage whose name I will not mention was just simply not funny at all. My wife rightly pointed out after his performance that the funniest thing that he said all night was that he expected people to pay $10.00 for his CD.
It was our Cruise Director's final cruise before his upcoming marriage, and while we certainly wish him the best, I must say that he also at times appeared bored with his mission. This ship suffers from a distinct lack of communication between the Cruise Director and the customers. At our first stop we didn't even get an announcement informing people that the gangways were open and that we could disembark. People just kind of meandered down and out on their own.
Again, please don't misunderstand. We really did enjoy this cruise, and will undoubtedly sail with Carnival again, it's just that some things legitimately fell short. This is not meant as an indictment against Carnival. For the most part they are great.
Part III- The Destinations
Grand Turk, an island in the Turks and Caicos was our first stop. It is a beautiful place with seemingly friendly people. We took the "Grand Turk Experience" shore excursion, and saw much of the island from the remnants of the old salt industry to a very attractive and well maintained lighthouse with a breath taking scenic overlook. The highlight of this stop for many people, however, turned out to be the beautiful manmade shopping village created by Carnival itself. Here you will find not only a plethora of the usual duty free shops, including an old Florida favorite, Ron Jon's Surf Shop, but a huge pool, manmade beach, and Flowrider., It truly can serve as your Grand Turk destination if you choose not to venture out on an excursion.
La Romana, in the Dominican Republic, is in a word, "useless." Why Carnival or anybody else for that matter bothers to stop here escapes me. Our excursion to Saona Island was cancelled due to weather so we spent the day onboard. A member of our party actually asked at the Shore Excursion desk if there was anything worth going ashore for since our excursion had been cancelled. The one word response was . "No." There is literally only a parking lot to catch tour buses, and be aware that walking into town alone is not advised. This can be a dangerous place.
Aruba, a Dutch island about fifteen miles from the Venezuelan coast was a bit of a disappointment. Our island tour proved that there are few areas of interest on the island. The natural bridge has collapsed, and what is left at that location is filthy and not particularly photogenic. There are some nice areas along the North shore to photograph breakers and natural rock erosion, and some limited access sand dunes. Other than that the natives consider a pile of climbing rocks, and a dilapidated lighthouse as worthy of tourist interest. They are wrong. Aruba does have a strip of beautiful beaches, magnificent hotels, and trendy shops, but beyond the beach the island is essentially an arid desert. As my wife described it, "Arizona with beachfront property." One note of caution. Beware of the "open vehicle" tours. They are hot and dusty. Refer to the aforementioned Arizona analogy. The heat index in Aruba during our visit was 105 degrees.
Curacao, another Dutch possession some forty miles or so from Venezuela turned out to be the real gem of this trip. The island is better maintained than Aruba, neater, cleaner, and certainly more colorful. The shops are unique, and the capital of Willemstad is a pleasure to walk around in and sightsee. The economy seems better than Aruba, probably due to the oil refinery and ship repair yard that includes one of the largest dry-dock facilities in the Caribbean. Our shore excursion was conducted on an air conditioned bus and included a semi-submersible event that showed off the local coral and undersea life very effectively. We went back into town later in the day just for a stroll and to walk across the "swinging bridge" that divides the city. It was an enjoyable day, and I must admit that a future return trip to Curacao is a distinct probability for us.
In conclusion this cruise was attractive to us primarily due to its unique itinerary, and in this it did not disappoint. I find visiting new places fascinating, and just because they don't always live up to my expectations doesn't mean that I don't enjoy seeing them ,and experiencing their respective differences. Overall, this is a cruise itinerary that I would recommend, and a ship, and cruise line that I would recommend. The few problems, disappointments, and revelations, that we encountered are all part of travelling. Good or bad, they are all learning experiences.
Of course this review is made up of my own personal opinions and experiences. I am sure that many others on the same cruise had different interpretations of the events, and their own unique experiences, and this is certainly as it should be. Less

The lights are on
The latest Rockstar video focuses on two
biggest keys to the L.A. Noire's murder mystery intrigue – interrogation and
The video walks you through the typical case progression, from crime scene to the questioning of witnesses and suspects. The more clues you find during your investigations, the more avenues of inquiry will be available in your line of inquiry. Not everyone you question is cooperative, so knowing when to pour on the flattery, go aggressive with a bad cop routine, or blindside them with a critical piece of evidence could catch them off guard and get them to start singing.
For more L.A. Noire coverage, be sure to check out our cover story, second look, and recent hands-on impressions.

This sound like a great, but very hard and long game.. Gotta try it..
I kinda want this now. Seeing the gameplay aspects that we are least familiar with in more detail has assuaged some of my doubt. But, I'll still wait for the review.
I can't decide which edition I am trying to swoop up.
So good
Wow. There are some recognizeable faces from the acting world in there.
Pre ordered this weeks ago thanks to Game Informers heads up on Gamestop's pre order deal!
Every video I see of this game just pumps me up more! Can't wait!
This just gets better and better.
the voice animations are amazing
Since L.A. Noire is a Rockstar game, I wonder if the character you play as can be wanted just like in other G.T.A. games. I know the guy you play as is a detective and all, but still.
L.A. Noire seems to be a much slower game than Rockstar's previous installments. Still, the interactive interrogation and (almost disturbingly) realistic facial features are gunna make this game a best seller.
this looks so good! i cant wait

Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/UnNews:Microsoft finds problem with font folder, urges people to delete it
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit UnNews:Microsoft finds problem with font folder, urges people to delete it
Just something I came up with while on IRC. Any thoughts / suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Lieutenant THEDUDEMAN Dude ... Totally UOTM KUN GotA F@H 00:28, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
|The article comes as across as too attacky, bombastic, and blunt. Like most unNews articles, this one reads too much like a one liner stretched out for 2.5 - 3 kilobytes. I have seen worse; this article does attempt to start out deadpan and go more outlandish from there, but it doesn't come off too well. I think the main problem is the premise is way to bombastic and exaggerated for it to work good. Excessive & unwarranted hyperbole tends to turn off the reader, as does too much attackiness. It makes it sound the author is ranting and raving because he likes to rant, rave, and complain, not because the subject matter deserves such a rant or the rant itself is funny.
You could try to change the perspective of the article, for example, have it be a press Micro$oft that "accidentally" insults itself. Also, you'll probably need to tone down the premise, making the intentions of Micro$oft a bit less evil.
|Prose and Formatting:
|I don't see any major formatting errors. However, you should probably add a list of sources at the end, in case the reader doesn't know about the recent security problems in internet explorer.
|The image is far too cliche. If you had something like a split screen showing hacked fonts versus regular fonts, it might more humorous.
|Basically, what I said in the concept section. The article is too attacky, bombastic, and blunt. Also, the article is quite short, only 2.7 kilobytes. It needs more fleshing out and more ideas in the article.
|Improvability Score:
|This article should age relatively well for an unNews article. Although it is a parody of the defects with internet explorer, it does not depend on that news story for its existence, and Microsoft will be in news again for a similar problem eventually.
|Final Score:
|I have the feeling might be judging unNews too harshly. However, I am holding unNews articles to the same standards that I am hold mainspace articles to, and I do tend to give out low scores. It seems that most unNews articles are one-liners stretched out to stub length, and many tend to be based on one-liners that aren't that good to begin with. In some my recent reviews of unNews articles, I have compared the humor to taking "one idea and bludgeon[ing] the hell out of it". Either I'm not "getting" the unNews, unNews articles are supposed to be less thorough than mainspace articles, or people are just writing bad unNews. Now, there are some unNews articles that I have found funny, like UnNews:Kenneth_Starr_vows_to_investigate_Obama_sex_scandal. But I digress.

A sunny Eccentric
Jim Herrick on AN Wilson's biography of Iris Murdoch
Iris Murdoch asked AN Wilson a friend to write her biography. He declined, but instead now offers a personal memoir of his relations with her. It is a fluent and largely anecdotal account, which captures the woman and her work most vividly. There exists a solid biography by Peter Conradi (Harper Collins, 2001), but Wilson prefers to examine how "an individual becomes a writer, and what of their life goes into fashioning their books".IRIS MURDOCH
AN Wilson
276 pp
He is unhappy with the way that Richard Eyre's film and John Bayley's books have left Murdoch defined by her Alzheimers rather than her novels and philosophy. Indeed, he seems a little cool towards John Bayley, her husband, and Wilson's former tutor. There is something rather ghoulish about the delineation of the collapse of a brilliant person's mind . Wilson concentrates on the sunny, eccentric person who possessed "a sortofgreatness".
The mage of Oxford has to be balanced with the wine and whisky swigging, promiscuous and much loved woman. She did not always tell the truth about herself, but could be capable of acts of great kindness. (Her novels had made her wealthy and she apparently left £2 million on her death.) As a student and briefly a lecturer she made Oxford her home, though she kept a flat in London and was surprisingly knowledgeable about London pubs and public transport. She was willingly seduced by bullying intellectual men as a young woman, but her later lesbian affairs may have been more important to her.
When I first read her novels, as a teenager, I thought what an amazing imagination she must have had to invent the sexual merrygoround that her characters dance. In fact, it was fully lived in her life. And if her characters are, well, a little odd, so was she and so did she see her friends. Wilson is good at recreating the charismatic and at times foolish woman and the spellbinding but also clumsy and careless novelist. Although she thought she had not abandoned her leftleaning youth, she could sound quite Thatcherite on matters such as comprehensive schools or striking miners.
The novels are there, all 26 of them, outliving her but not widely read today. Wilson has got it right when he pronounces that they contain some great writing and some tosh. Her aim was to create a reality so real you could touch it; but in fact, her failed priests and homosexual writers, and despairing nuns and retired actors all failed to see each other with the clarity that was the touchstone of her belief in the moral perception of others. She aspired to be a Tolstoy or Dostoevsky but had neither the necessary sense of history nor the intimation of the demonic.
It must be said that her compelling oeuvre has been widely enjoyed. The early novels are sharp, pointed and funny, the later ones became capacious, baggy jaunts for her philosophical ideas attached to a cast that was more real in her imagination than on the page. She believed deeply that our ego, our solipsism created a veil which prevented us from seeing each other clearly: "Love is the extremely difficult realisation that something other than oneself is real."
As a philosopher she reacted to existentialism and logical positivism with a deep belief that philosophy should be about freedom and morality and love and God. She wrote about Sartre and, later, Kant and Heidegger but it was Plato who influenced her most. She was often described as an atheist with a deeply religious temperament. To her the contemplative life was as important as the active one even though there was nothing divine to contemplate. Wilson considers that she was rare among English novelists in considering the loss of faith that was "a dominant fact in the personal lives of millions in the last century". If Iris Murdoch's ideas seem somewhat of a muddle, she believed the world was a muddle, a mess, which it was our duty to live through.
Wilson sees Murdoch and her work clearly, judiciously. Her novels are littered with memorable sentences, such as "Oh! The tormenting strangeness of our ignorance of other minds, the privileged comfort of the secrecy of our own." (The Black Prince) Wilson has made us a little less ignorant of the strangeness of Iris Murdoch's mind.
Iris Murdoch is available from Amazon (UK)

The Los Gatos, California, town council has unanimously approved a forty-five day moratorium on granting business licenses to companies that sell guns until a permanent ordinance on the sale of firearms is discussed and/or implemented.
The Los Gatos Council Agenda Report outlines the details of the moratorium and provides this justification:
"A temporary moratorium will prevent new commercial operations engaged in the sale of firearms, ammunition, and/or explosive devices from locating in the Town until land use related procedures and regulations are considered and adopted. Without an immediate moratorium in place, a new firearms dealer could obtain a Town business license within a matter of days which occurred previously with Templar Sports."
According to KLIV, the controversy began when Templar Sports opened in the town in December. Citizens protested, claiming they were not given enough public notice before the store was issued a business license.
A public meeting is scheduled for April 15, at which time the town council can extend the moratorium for up to 10 months and 15 days.
The Los Gatos Patch reports:
"The prohibition came through the adoption of an urgency ordinance that will give town staff time to research, study and return to the Council a potential town ordinance to designate which land-use zones may be appropriate for such sales in the future, including consideration of appropriate proximity limits from schools, parks and selected establishments."
"The Right Views" contacted the Assistant Town Manager of Los Gatos, Pamela Jacobs, who confirmed the 45-day moratorium.
Ms. Jacobs told "The Right Views" that the moratorium does not affect existing businesses in Los Gatos, but for the forty-five day period, no new establishments will be given business licenses if they plan on selling firearms.
The moratorium, she said, gives the town council time to look at any new regulations regarding the locations of new businesses that wish to sell firearms.
She also confirmed that the moratorium was implemented after citizens of Los Gatos voiced concerns about Templar Sports.
The Templar Sports website says it is the "Bay Area's premier sports shop that specializes in firearms and fishing sales and service."

Notes from around the Caribbean Winter Leagues
It was an interesting night in the Dominican Winter League. This kid named Miguel Sano went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts. He must be terrible, right? Wait a minute. I'll search the internet and find some info on him. Oh, never mind. He hit 28 homers in Lo-A ball as a 19 year-old and those prospect geeks here at Baseball Prospectus are supposedly ranking him in the Top 25 of their upcoming Top 101 Prospects List. Must've been an off night. I also noticed that this guy named Manny had four hits in his game. Figured he must be in this top 101, too. He wasn't. It turns out he's an older guy that debuted in the majors way before the invention of prospect ranking.

Joseph Dispenza
Eros was the god of love in Greek mythology. And with a power as potent as that of love and desire, it should come as no surprise that Eros played a significant role in myth and legend. Indeed, Eros was the darling of poets and artists over the centuries. But there is more to this god — he also inspired desire in countless Greek gods, goddesses, heroes, and heroines.
There are two popular but very different versions of the birth of this important god. According to the Greek poet Hesiod, Eros was one of the first deities born into the world. Hesiod, in his Theogony, claims that Eros emerged from Chaos (which can be described as a sort of void) along with Gaia (the Earth) and Tartarus (the Underworld). Furthermore, the Theogony features an intriguing description of Eros:
"…and Eros, the fairest of the deathless gods;
he unstrings the limbs and subdues both mind
and sensible thought in the breasts of all gods and all men."
(Hesiod, Theogony, 120-2)
The power wielded by Eros is made clear in this passage — no one, divine or mortal, could resist his spell of enchantment. In Hesiod's version, therefore, Eros is a potent, irresistible god.
However, there is one other significant variation in myth about the birth of Eros. According to some sources, Eros was the son of the goddess Aphrodite (occasionally, it is claimed that he is the child of both Aphrodite and Ares). As Aphrodite's son, Eros loses a bit of his power and prestige and becomes more of a companion (or accomplice) to the goddess of love and desire. This could be one possible explanation for why Eros, over the centuries, is transformed in myth and art from a handsome young man to a chubby mischievous child.
One of the great stories from the myths is that of Eros and Psyche. Aphrodite was jealous and angry because a mortal princess named Psyche had become so famous for her beauty that mere mortals were beginning to say that she was even more lovely than Aphrodite herself.
So Aphrodite sent her son Eros, the god of love, to shoot Psyche with one of his arrows, to make her fall in love with the most hideous monster he could find. But the girl's exquisite beauty so enchanted him that he could not bring himself to carry out his mother's command. Instead, he made Psyche fall in love with him, and married her.
Eros was known as Cupid in Roman mythology.

(See the previous three month's newsletters for the first and second parts of the Clean Sweep, on your Well–Being, your Physical Environment, and your Money.)
The Penantes: Blessings of the Household Gods
Riches from the Depths: Poseidon
Dr. Leonard challenges you to complete all 100 items in one year. Below is the part of the Clean Sweep devoted to your relationships. You might want to print out this newsletter and sit quietly scoring yourself on the questions. If true, check the box marked True. Be rigorous; be a hard grader. If the statement is sometimes or usually true please DO NOT check the True box until the statement is virtually always true for you. Then WORK TO MAKE THE STATEMENT TRUE. You may change any statement to fit your situation better.

Rick Santorum Senior Strategist John Brabender opens up to CNN's Soledad O'Brien about campaign, other candidates after primary wins in Mississippi and Alabama.
Brabender says, "Yes, I mean, everybody thought I think Romney was going to win Mississippi and everybody thought Gingrich was going to win Alabama and Rick Santorum won both of them coming off the heels of winning Kansas on Saturday. So it's an exciting time for the campaign and I think Rick Santorum said it best that a lot of average Americans are showing people the pollsters don't know as well as they do. And so it was a pretty big upset last night and certainly gives the campaign a tremendous amount of momentum."
He continues, "Rick Santorum made it very loud and clear that he's not running to be the conservative alternative for Mitt Romney, he's running to be the conservative alternative to Barack Obama…. The belief among conservatives is we're not going to ever beat Barack Obama by just putting up Barack Obama light, and so there is a real path that says if conservatives and Tea Party supporters decide that we are now going to unite behind one candidate, not only will he be the nominee but I strongly believe will beat Barack Obama."
When O'Brien asks Brabender about Romney saying that Santorum "is at the desperate end of his campaign," he replies, "I'm not sure I'm going to listen to the value judgment of a guy who strapped his dog on the top of the roof of his car and went hurling down the highway."
Starting Point with Soledad O'Brien airs week mornings from 7-9am ET on CNN.

City of Seattle's Domestic Partnership Registration Program
Since 1994, the City of Seattle has offered unmarried couples in long-term committed relationships an opportunity to document those relationships by registering a domestic partnership with the Seattle City Clerk's Office.
Domestic Partnership Registration is voluntary, and does not create any new or different legal rights or responsibilities, or any contractual or financial obligations between those registered.
Who Can Register a Domestic Partnership with the City of Seattle?
Under City of Seattle Ordinance 117244, Domestic Partners are defined as any two people who:
- Are both 18 years of age are older;
- Are not married;
- Are not related to one another by blood in a manner that would bar their marriage in Washington State;
- Have a relationship of mutual support, caring, and commitment; and
- Do not have any other domestic partner.
- The Domestic Partnership Registration Program does not require residence in Seattle; it is open to all persons anywhere who wish to participate.
How to Register a Domestic Partnership with the City of Seattle
- Download the Domestic Partnership Registration Form, or request a copy from the City Clerk's Office;
- Fill out the form (please write clearly);
- Both partners must sign the form and both signatures must be notarized;
- Bring or mail the form with the $25 registration fee to the City Clerk's Office.
- Make checks payable to "City of Seattle"
Other Important Information
- Program Fees:
- Registration fee: $25
- Certificate replacement fee: $10
- See the City Clerk's Office Fee Schedule for more information.
- Forms of Payment Accepted:
- check
- money order
- cash - in person only; please do not send cash through the mail
- The Certificate of Registration is typically sent to the applicants within three business days of our receiving the application. Certificates are sent by U.S. Postal Service first-class mail.
- Certificates can be issued in person; please call ahead to make an appointment for this service.
- Domestic Partnership Registration is not confidential. It is a public record under Revised Code of Washington (RCW) Section 42.56.
Domestic Partnership and City of Seattle Employees
It is the policy of the City of Seattle to recognize legal, same-sex marriages as identical to opposite-sex marriages. (See Executive Order 02-04.) A legally binding, same-sex marriage is one registered in a state or country that authorizes same sex marriages.
If you are a City of Seattle employee, you can obtain a City-authorized Domestic Partnership form (see SMC Section 4.30.010) from your Benefits representative in the Seattle Department of Human Resources.
If a Registered Domestic Partnership Ends
- To cancel the registration of a domestic partnership, fill out the Domestic Partnership Termination Form and mail it to the City Clerk's Office.
- Only one partner needs to sign the form; the signature must be notarized.
- A confirmation letter will be sent to the requesting partner (and, if requested, to the other partner as well).

Playboy's Top Ten Party Schools Ranks LSU 7th
I was disappointed when LSU didn't show up on the Playboy Top Ten Party List last year, but that has changed.The Playboy list of Top Party Schools of 2013 puts West Virginia at #1. Why are the Moutaineers at the top? The magazine cited popular partying activities such as FallFest and St. Patrick's Day – as well as the anarchy that broke out last fall after West Virginia's football team defeated Texas.
"The locals call Morgantown a drinking town with a football problem," Playboy said. "We call it a seven-year plan with the possibility of parole."
The top 10:
1. West Virginia University
2. University of Wisconsin
3. University of Colorado
4. University of Southern California
5. Florida State University
6. University of Texas
7. Louisiana State University
8. University of Georgia
9. Arizona State University
10. University of Maryland
Last year, the University of Virginia was #1. That school fell out of the top 10 this year. Texas was #4 last year. Tulane was #8, but also fell out of the top 10.

International Competition Hurts Spangler's Business
Chinese candy-cane makers spur large seasonal layoff.
Foreign competition is putting a dent in the holiday spirit at northwest Ohio's Spangler Candy Co., the world's largest maker of candy canes, according to a report in The Blade.
The Bryan, Ohio-based company is laying off 88 of its 400 workers indefinitely. A key reason: inroads by Chinese manufacturers into the U.S. candy-cane market.
The seasonal layoff is one of the largest in recent years, and its length could be longer than usual while company officials assess the situation, Dean Spangler, president and CEO, told the newspaper. "It would be a serious mistake to underestimate the Chinese," he said. "But we're very confident in our own abilities."
Spangler, whose company also makes candy canes in Mexico, hopes to get a good forecast for 2006 production needs within 90 days.
Several Chinese manufacturers are trying to market their products in the United States, and Spangler isn't sure which ones will be the strongest. At least one major drugstore chain and one major dollar-store chain, he said, are stocking Chinese-made candy canes this holiday season. Their wholesale prices appear to be 20 to 30 percent below the price of domestic candy canes, he added.
Imports of non-chocolate candies from China have "really increased" in the last few years, Susan Smith, an executive for the National Confectioners Association in Vienna, Va., told The Blade.
Imports from China grew about 25 percent in each of the last two years. The U.S. market share of imported confectioneries more than doubled in a 12-year period ending 2002, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The 99-year-old Spangler Candy makes about 4 million candy canes daily during the production season, split between the Bryan plant and a factory in Juarez, Mexico, which it opened four years ago, the newspaper reported. The Mexican plant, opened to take advantage of lower sugar prices, not lower labor costs, employs about 150. A small number of its workers will be laid off at the end of the year for maintenance reasons.
Mexican workers make about half of the company's candy canes, a product line that two years ago brought in about $20 million a year, or about a third of the firm's revenues. Because the company is privately owned, it is uncertain what revenues are now.
The candy-cane line includes traditional red-and-white confections priced lower than they were a quarter century ago to higher-margin treats in various flavors. The firm makes the lower-end traditional canes mostly in Mexico and the higher-end treats with flavors in Bryan, where its hourly workers are paid roughly $11 to $17 an hour.
In Bryan, there were no seasonal layoffs at the end of last year; 49 of the 300 hourly workers represented by Teamsters Local 20 were laid off in late 2003. In past years, workers have been called back between March and May of the next year, the newspaper said.
The company, which also makes Dum Dum lollipops, creates about half of the 1.8 billion candy canes produced by U.S.-based companies worldwide, according to Spangler. The firm's production totals up to a billion canes annually.

TPWD News Release — Feb. 19, 2014
Signs and laminated posters promoting the survey have been distributed at boat ramps and businesses at Lake Tawakoni. The survey can be accessed online at: https://survey.tpwd.texas.gov/TakeSurvey.aspx?SurveyID=ll13988.
A printed copy of the survey is also available upon request. The survey will remain open through June 2014.
Information from the survey will supplement sampling techniques designed to collect information on blue catfish in the lake and on the anglers who target them for recreation and consumption. Input from a broad spectrum of catfish anglers will help TPWD make informed management decisions for Lake Tawakoni's blue catfish fishery.
Lake Tawakoni is renowned for the quality of its blue catfish fishery, attracting anglers in large numbers. In 2001, the Texas Legislature declared West Tawakoni the "Catfish Capital of Texas."
Texas' catfish fisheries have been receiving greater attention from the TPWD Inland Fisheries Division as biologists work to develop a statewide catfish management plan. Results from this survey will help shape catfish management throughout Texas.
For more information or a printed copy of the survey, contact Kevin Storey, 2122 Old Henderson Highway, Tyler, TX 75702; (903) 593-5077; firstname.lastname@example.com.
