Working for Scrooge: Worst Companies of 2010 for the Right to Associate
Date of publication: December 10, 2010

Attached Files
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) states that "everyone has the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests" (Article 23, Section 4).
As human rights advocates around the world celebrate International Human Rights Day, the International Labor Rights Forum (ILRF) has released our 2010 version of an annual report: "Working for Scrooge: Worst Companies of 2010 for the Right to Associate." The report includes a list of the five worst multinational corporations for union organizing. The US-based companies on ILRF's list use intimidation and even violence to violate their workers' internationally recognized right to organize.
Despite the labor rights protections in the UDHR, UN and ILO declarations and national labor laws, workers continue to see their rights trampled on a daily basis. In fact, in its most recent survey of violations of trade union rights, the International Trade Union Confederation reports at least 101 unionists were killed globally as a result of their organizing efforts in 2009, a number that is up by 30% from 2008. Additionally, as the global economic crisis spreads, many labor advocates fear that companies are using the crisis as a pretext for cracking down on unionized workers and instituting employment schemes that reduce the number of workers guaranteed union protections.
The companies on this year's list include: the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA), Chiquita, Dole, Del Monte, and R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. To find out more, please read the full report.

@jabailo, altho it was more than evident that you were casting Nordstoms attempt at technology and analytics in a very negative way, my first reaction to it ( and I am not a Nordstrom's customer or shareholder, if they have any ) was positive; what an interesting hands-on somewhat old fashioned way of customer relations and product placement, certainly not anything to run to the exits about.
Certainly it is very tech-correct to be in favor of analytics certainly at Internet Evolution but to actually practice what you preach is an entirely different matter. Would you prefer a bevy of salespeople with tablets or a bevy with sleeve garters and dogeared customer notebooks?
I always go back to my experience at Nordstrom years ago. Back then they were incredibly technology adverse. Their "analytics tool"? Every sales person kept a written customer journal. They memorized names and faces. They surveyed "their store" -- the boutiques within each floor that they managed. They looked at what customers were buying...and rejecting and moved goods around to push those things that were selling.
I recall at one job where I spent a day with the production team. It was eye-opening to work in their department and see what they did. And it really helped me when I got back to my desk because I changed how I did certain things to simplify their workload when they got my files. Everytime you cross-pollinate departments you have that opportunity to open eyes to new ways of doing things. Crossing into new disciplines is even more exciting. Just consider the businesses owned by former ballet dancers, or painters, or pilots, etc. Because they don't come with an MBA background they have a whole different view of how to run a business. Sometimes they fail, but sometimes they don't (just like the MBAs).
The Fashion Institute is just across the street from us here in New York, so I was bound to read FIT the wrong way.
Analytics can be just as much a creative art as a...well, analytical or technical one. Non homogeneous, non relational data, can include all that is available for the eye to see and the ear to hear. Rather than trying to "fill a need", I think employers should think about creating jobs that are more an investigative reporter...someone who combines research, data, snooping, maybe even paying off sources...the whole gamut of finding answers.
Far from trying to square peg and optimize, this is great new way to bring more people into the workforce who know how to use all the web and smart phone technologies and have a general desire to find things out, but maybe aren't from a traditional IT background.
This is another example of businesses working to close the skills gap.
:) Sorry... showed my localized roots there: Florida Institute of Technology!
I am guessing that's not a local branch of the Fashion Institute of Technology.
We see it in other industries, too. For example, I live near the Kennedy Space Center, and NASA works closely with FIT and other universities' engineering and space programs to help design courses and degrees that closely meet its criteria.
It reduces the risk of colleges turning out graduates with "Analytics" degrees which turn out not to be applicable in the workplace, which meanwhile has moved on. It seems to me vital that the private sector get involved with this kind of vocational education.

My brother and I would like to start a property investment company / portfolio. Buying run down houses, doing them up and then either selling them or renting. The big question is how to split this evenly. I would probably put forward the initial cash to buy the first house, get the mortgage and then continue to add funds to gear it up (if it works!) as and when I earn them. I would deal with all the finances, tax, banks etc. He would be the man on the ground, overseeing the builders, picking the houses to buy. In the interests of family harmony we think it would be a good idea to keep the equity at 50/50 but he understandably doesn't want that holding to be overly diluted when I put more cash in. He suggested the extra cash goes in as a loan at 10% but from my point of view this is a poor return having given 50% over originally and then exposing myself to further risk with limited upside potential on the additional money. At a guess We would divide the labour roughly 75 % him / 25 % me but this is only a guess and it could be different. What is the fairest solution ? Would some sort of dividend linked to the profit work? Preferance shares? or perhaos some sort of bond? We would perfer to keep it as simple as possible so that there can be little room for different interpretation of figures down the line. Any insight greatly appreciated. Thx very much for your help
So then don't dilute. He is continuing to put work(so called sweat equity) in to the company so why would you not need to keep putting money in to keep pace? From a strictly fair point of view it seems odd to say that it should start at 50/50. If you put in a million dollars and you value his time at 100 an hour it will be a long time before you hit 50/50 on that equation. | |||||||||||||
"Overseeing builders" and "picking houses to buy" does not sound like much work or sweat equity to me. Also - as the person on the hook for the money I would want to be the one with the decision on the houses. I assume you mean he is doing the leg work. I have managed rental real estate and worked with people who flipped houses. I think you have a lot more to think through. My suggestion would be to do one deal first. Then after that is completed, sold, etc. you can consider arranging future deals. I think each house will be a case-by-case basis - you should not make a hard and fast rule before taking them on. No house flip or contract will be the same as another. Most times the person who finds the deal and brings it to an investor (the finder is called a "bird dog") makes a small fixed amount - not a percentage of the profit. This is standard practice and I would not change it - even for family. "Managing contractors" is not the same as doing the work yourself - again, this is hardly worth giving a percentage of the profit away. He is taking NO risk and should not get the big rewards. I would pay him a flat fee per deal or per house or maybe even a percentage of the cost of the contractors. If he actually does work on the houses then that changes things a little. Be prepared to get into fights with your family and not speak to them for years. Doing business deals with family has a potential to screw up relationships. Most real estate partnerships and deals of the scale you are talking about that I know of are just individuals or LLCs - never a corporation. Again - you are the investor and taking ALL the risk. The only thing he has into it is time. If he wants to share in the upside then he should put his name on the loan too and put some money into the deal. This is definitely not a 50/50 enterprise from what you describe above. EDIT If you want to sweeten the deal you might consider some "steps" for payouts. For example he gets a $500 fee for bringing a deal that you close (or whatever you think is fair. Be careful about this and Real Estate licensing laws) Maybe he should get his brokers license? Then he gets either a cut of the contractors' expenses or a flat fee for managing the work. Then based on the net profit you make he can get a percentage. I would NOT go too high on this. You are taking all the risk - not him. But this scenario gives him incentive to maximize the profits. If he is doing actual work on the house then you need to figure out what that translates to - Unless he is a professional builder he should not get the same rates as a contractor. You can pay him for the work or convert it to "equity"/share of profit. Good luck | |||||
I would figure out how much money you're putting in and figure how much time he's putting in, and figure out what his time is worth in dollars. Then divide the equity based on the dollar amounts from those calculations. You could always: (1) Issue only a portion of the company's equity to you both at the beginning, and more equity could be issued to you as you put in money and him as he puts in time, based on how much his time is worth. (2) Give a management contract to him and pay him a fixed fee per item he handles. I'd carefully think this through before beginning. I'm in the real estate business on the side and even when buying foreclosed and short-sale properties, it's tough to make money. | |||

Why is it that for years and years, we have been adding hard drives and using them, and many manufacturer's have written software to backup and restore existing drives (Heck, that software used to come with the new drives!), and this included limitations in Disk Controllers regarding size of drives... There has always been a "Work Around", there has never been rules saying: "Only a Clean Install--or drive won't work correctly"........... "Don't believe Benchmarks (Though we have for years)"
This drive is "Transparent"
If these drives are "Transparent" Why should all these rules 'be'?
The reason I post is: I am using multiple XT drives... I have not done anything out of the ordinary with them.... I installed them, using Restore of an existing image.... Partitioned them, Beat on them, Used them in a Raid when Posts said "DON'T!"
What the heck? Why all the rules? It's just a Hard Drive!!! As long as I don't do something stupid, like plug it in HOT or drop it..... It should do the work I ask of it....
The XT1 drives I have have not been baby'd at all.... I installed them, Updated them with firmware, and kept going.. I treat them like any other drive I've ever purchased.....
I cannot understand why we should have to treat them any different than any other hard drive that is sitting on the shelf....
IF I'm Wrong........ SEAGATE..... PLEASE ADVISE ME!!!
If I'm Right........ I assume this thread will have no answers from Seagate....
Solved! Go to Solution.
Bumping again... If I don't get an official answer.... All I have to assume is it's not needed!!!
Hello Jan,
I am trying to understand what you're asking here. Why all the rules?
I admit that I don't have the experience you have in using drives in RAID setups, let alone Momentus XT drives in RAID setups. But I'm sure you can accept that there have to be rules in every game. That's the way the universe is. Hard drives don't work well as coffee grinders, nor are they at their best when immersed in molten lava.
When discussing less obvious issues than those, it often comes down to responding to unforeseen circumstances. We really do try to put our products through a serious battery of serious tests and diagnostics before we put them out on the market, but it is impossible to recreate every single array and sampling of equipment, software, and drivers that exists in customers' homes and offices. This is why we do our best to respond to customers as they see issues arise. Ideally no issues would arise, but in an imperfect world, we expect that at least sometimes things won't work precisely like we want them to.
Anyway, in the case of these Momentus XT drives, they aren't "just a hard drive", and I don't think you acquired them just so you could have "just a hard drive". You're after the promise of increased performance. Part of that promised increased performance capability is the firmware that governs the flash part of the drive that makes it a hybrid. It is learning how to best utilise its flash memory, to know what programs to launch from the flash and which to leave on the rotating hard disk. When our product developers give their recommendations with respect to proper usage, they are, in my experience, most of the time referring to how the firmware behaves in its learning. Using a configuration that the learning firmware doesn't understand will very possibly lead to not seeing the high performance that the hybrid drive is advertised to deliver (and which it does deliver when used according to the recommended setup[s]).
I hope that helps. I have taken my best shot at answering, but I felt the question was vague enough that I may well have misunderstood what you are asking.
08-14-2012 09:43 AM - edited 08-14-2012 09:44 AM
I appreciate that the XT is a relatively new product... But due to years and years of "Plug & Play", do you really want to try and push the idea that this drive is something special, and must be treated differently?
I'm not saying it's a bad Product... NO WAY! I own 5 or 6 of them.... and haven't had one hiccough with any firmware update or operation... But I have not done "Clean Installs", or babied the drives... I treated them like any other drive I'd install...
I've moved them to and from Raid operation when needed, and once installed, I'm relying on the Drive's firmware to "Learn" the system.... If I don't get 100% speed on first use, not a problem.... It will adapt... And I'm finding it does! (Good Thing!!)
I immediately go into Device Manager and turn on write caching... to speed it up...
You'd think that if the drive needed to be babied and treated with kid gloves, instead of using it as a commodity as I do.....
I should have run into issues along the way.... But I haven't.
If this drive in fact Needs to be babied.... And I'm not.... Then this is a credit to your drive firmware... to keep me out of trouble.... And I hope that is the fact....
Personally, I don't believe I'd want any product I make to be considered as 'having to be treated specially'......
And now that I have your attention... Would you PLEASE put DRIVE ACTIVITY LED'S on your next product???
You'll Sell more to Raid user's if you do!

The MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston wants to spend as much as $3 billion over the next decade reducing deaths related to several types of cancer or even curing those diseases altogether.
Doctors at the hospital and cancer research center, the largest in the country, announced their "Moon Shots" program this week, so called because it is inspired by President John F. Kennedy's pledge in the early 1960s to put a man on the moon.
"The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has launched an ambitious and comprehensive action plan, called the Moon Shots Program, to make a giant leap for patients – to dramatically accelerate the pace of converting scientific discoveries into clinical advances that reduce cancer deaths," the hospital says on its website. "The nation's No. 1 hospital for cancer care, with its unparalleled resources and capabilities, is uniquely positioned to accelerate the end of cancer. It's closer than you think. What's learned from these initial cancer "moon shots" will ultimately lead to cures for all types of the disease."
Some of the cancers the hospital will focus on include ovarian, breast, lung, prostate, melanoma and leukemia.
"Even as the number of cancer survivors in the US is expected to reach an estimated 11.3 million by 2015, according to the American Cancer Society, cancer remains one of the most destructive and vexing diseases," the center said in a release announcing the new program.
"An estimated 100 million people worldwide are expected to lose their lives to cancer in this decade alone. The disease's devastation to humanity now exceeds that of cardiovascular disease, tuberculosis, HIV and malaria – combined."

Blue Book® Suggested Retail Value Fuel Economy (city/hwy) Quick Facts
There are no 2004 Isuzu Axiom reviews. However, the following might be helpful: User ReviewsThe community thinks...
A Good Looking SUV
by Dewayne from Houston, TX on 11/20/2004.
Trim: 2004 Isuzu Axiom S 2WD, Owned less than 1 year.
I like the sporty style, size, and look of the '04 Axiom. It's roomy, affordable, has good gas mileage, and has an excellent drive. The performance is great too and, the display screen is very helpful.
I think the control area for the stereo/cd and air conditioning could be a little more visible for the driver. The control area is too compact. I wish there could have been a little more leg room and compartment space.
Overall review:
The 2004 Isuzu Axiom is an excellent buy for the money, style, size, performance, and comfortness. I would recommend it and, I would purchase another Axiom or Isuzu vehicle.

And have a semi twin Brothers just said the lab -- procedure he's down over sixty -- -- ready as well so this thing really works and I think it's.
You know I had the surgery in the morning you talked about it that is a big big step and but I did try all those other things and had the -- in the morning I was home in the evening.
What went to work full time the next day so is -- I felt you know fine with it it's too easy to do and it works.
Fantastic so now a lot of people are wondering now that you're the slimmed down version that we -- still be this -- -- -- extra.
And that people until law or kind of go see what's he gonna say -- Yeah well you know.
I think my big thing is I want -- -- get that restaurant wins and -- you know but.
To me you know I did this for health reasons you know I've been married for 25 years that wasn't like I was.
You know I'm trying to slim down for other reasons established centers now season.
I do look a lot better now -- you 200 pounds ago looks better but it's the reason I did it was was for help low rate -- blood pressure will cholesterol that kind of stuff.
And I'm ready to attack.
The season that's great.
But I've I would imagine you've got high blood pressure on occasion where peoples okay Sanchez -- -- Tivo.
Officially Mark Sanchez is the guy who's gonna start and throw the football.
At what point does Tim Tebow get the call from the coach OK Tim and poignant well I think when when we look at.
The first two years we have more success.
On offense and we had.
A guy named Brad Smith who we lost to buffalo last year did a tremendous job force run in the wildcat offense.
The guy that really invented the wildcat -- brought the wildcat to the National Football League was -- -- -- -- offensive coordinator.
The end I've been a big believer and I know -- how difficult it is to defend.
It makes you play eleven on eleven in the best wildcat quarterback in football is Tim Tebow.
Now he's you know he's a young man a complete quarterback every down for you but we have -- starting quarterback in Mark Sanchez we feel great about him.
And in all it say about Tim Tebow is he is an outstanding football player and I think.
That is real he did it really -- flourishing young.
-- well -- no question about that.
So do you do you feel any pressure about putting him in the game at all because you know because people will want to see him play because he's -- -- so popular.
My job to win games and so.
That's whatever that means right you know like that so the the pressure is you know I just I just want to win that's what our fans want more and anything else.
It is to win in in that's that's my charge yet -- and what do you think about the phenomenon where people do the Tebow.
They taking me at all the time now has an homage to Tim who is somebody.
On a higher -- -- well hopefully people do a lot of probably a lot of jet fans who will do this Tebow thing as well.
Well no doubt will be a fascination for jets fans as well as Mark Sanchez by the way in New York 62% of the people want -- to start.
38% one Tivo nationally it's about it's about the saints up.
Have a great season and make you very much I know that you'll have more energy probably to be all I've -- Contacts now that you've lost all that weight have people -- -- in new nickname.
Base they stay with the tradition for us.
Yeah I don't know -- coach -- -- thank you very much ray player but right.

When people think of sushi they automatically think of raw fish. They think if they go into the ocean and get a fish that is sushi. WRONG! The specific term for raw fish is sashimi and its not the same thing as sushi. Sushi doesn't have to have fish at all! The key ingriedient to sushi is sticky rice and seaweed. They put the sticky rice onto the seaweed. In the fourth century B.C. sushi beghan as a way to preserve raw fish. This preservation made its way to Japan. The japanese word sushi was defined "sour" or "vinegary". 3 wonder words: I have a huge appetite french fries.
Sushi is one of my favorite foods.

In a sweet respite from the avalanche of suck that's buried me in my last few trips to the multiplex, Crazy Heart is a blast of fresh air. A York Peppermint Patty on celluloid.
Bad Blake (Jeff Bridges) is an alcoholic country singer, who has fallen from the giddy heights of stardom and now scrapes out a meager living traversing the Southwest in his beat-up truck, playing dive bars and bowling alleys.
Blake has four wives under his belt, an agent who's trying to convince him to write songs again--if he ever wants to make real money again--and he lives in the shadow of his former protégé Tommy Sweet (Colin Farrell), whom Blake taught everything he knows. Sweet ran with his music, though, and achieved a level of success that Blake only vaguely remembers.
At one of his bar gigs, he meets Jean (Maggie Gyllenhaal) a young reporter who wants to interview Blake about his life and music. They quickly become attracted to each other, and Blake begins to see a second chance at life he never thought he'd get. Soon enough, though, his demons threaten to destroy his chance for happiness.
Written and directed by Scott Cooper (and based on the book of the same name) Crazy Heart won't set any records for originality, but the film's easy-going pace and emotional honesty, along with a career defining performance from Jeff Bridges, elevate the movie above its scant plotting.
Cooper elicits a mournful tone from the desert landscapes, the dingy motel rooms and the smoky bars, which is all mirrored by the music and the lines of age and regret that adorn Bridges' hound-dog face.
Thematically, the most obvious comparison would be last year's The Wrestler, a story of redemption for a man who's seen enough pain and only finds solace in the approbation of his fans. And like that film, it is its central performance that takes an overly familiar story and turns it into something special.
But the fact is that it's fairly well-worn material that does wrap things up too neatly with what I felt was an unnecessary epilogue. In fact, when the screen went black at what I hoped was the film's end (because it felt like the natural place for it to end, not because of tedium), someone in the packed house blurted out, "That's it?" (I felt like explaining to her that sometimes dotting all your "I's" and crossing all your "T's" can hurt a film.)
Crazy Heart trusted the audience pretty far with its unhurried pace, content to dwell with and explore these people, and I just wish it would have committed to leaving Bad Blake's future to the imagination. That would have really completed what felt like an ethereal experience.
It's a fault that's easy to forgive considering the amazing performance from Jeff Bridges. As Bad Blake, Bridges delivers in a way that assures Oscar consideration (as of this writing, he's already picked up a Golden Globe). Between his flabby alcoholic paunch, whiskey sweat and grizzled countenance, his entire body tells Blake's story in ways words would fail, unless they are the lyrics to his songs. It almost felt like you were living with him.
Then there's the music, penned by the legendary T. Bone Burnett and performed very ably by Bridges. It's good old school country in the vein of Merle Haggard and Kris Kristofferson (upon whom the character of Bad Blake is partially based), and Bridges probably has a second career on his hands if he chooses to go that route. Nothing takes me out of a movie about a musician faster than when it's plain the actor portraying him or her is not performing the music. Thankfully, Bridges fills out the triplex of his great performance with his assured crooning and warm guitar tones that seem to have been recorded live.
Supporting roles are good as well, with Maggie Gyllenhaal shining as Jean. She sees the beauty in Blake's worn features and falls in love with the damaged beauty of his tired soul. You can see her opening up despite her trepidation and, like Bridges, she can travel through a range of emotions in just a few glances. Her wan, unconventional sexiness doesn't overpower the believability of her relationship with Bad Blake. She needs to work on her Oklahoma accent, though.
Colin Farrell has a smaller role as Tommy Sweet, adopting a Texas drawl and singing alongside Bridges in a great duet on the film's signature song, Fallin' and Flyin'. The nature of their relationship could easily have gone the easy route of antagonism, but all these characters are too genuinely written for such simplicity. It's another example of the film's emotional depth.
In a wasteland of derivative rom-com's, groan-inducing genre crap and snooze worthy studio sacrificial lambs, Crazy Heart is an oasis that shouldn't be missed.
Don't Try Rome
When in Rome is the kind of movie I would have forgotten about maybe 30 or 40 seconds after I had seen it, if I didn't have to write about it. Actually, it's a movie I wouldn't have seen in the first place, if I didn't have to write about it.
Still, in the realm of formulaic romantic comedies, it wasn't the worst thing I've ever seen. How's that for a ringing endorsement?
Beth (Kristen Bell) is an unlucky-in-love curator for the Guggenheim Museum, in the midst of putting together an important show, when she gets word that her sister, Joan (Alexis Dziena), is about to marry a guy she met on a trip to Italy--after having known each other for a mere two weeks.
Dropping everything, she flies to Italy for the blessed event where she meets Nick (Josh Duhamel), a sports writer whose budding football career was cut short when he was struck by lightning (Yes, you read that right) and charming hunk who immediately strikes up a rapport with the klutzy Beth.
After inadvertently spying Nick sneaking a kiss from a raven-haired beauty, Beth, fueled by more than a little champagne, romps around in a fountain that people toss coins into and wish for true love. Beth removes five of them, hoping that their intended wishes will bring the lovelorn Beth romantic solace.
Unbeknownst to her though, the fountain is actually magical and taking the coins earns her a quadruplet of smitten suitors who chase her all over New York and engage in fruitless attempts to win Beth's heart, while Nick's amore for Beth might or might not be influenced by a poker chip she also took from the fountain.
The oddball troupe of romantic hopefuls include Jon Heder as Lance, a street magician who uses his tricks to woo Beth; Dax Shepard as Gale, a narcissistic body builder who's sure his ripped torso will do the trick; Will Arnett as Antonio, an Italian artist who actually follows her back from Italy; and Danny DeVito as Al Russo, a ... well, I'm not too sure what he had going for him outside of being Danny DeVito.
The (only) funny thing about When in Rome is that there's actually a pretty high caliber set of comedic guns on display--and that includes Bell--though Heder doesn't impress, and his appeal baffles me (while Napoleon Dynamite fans, another baffling group, will rejoice for a certain cameo). It's just sad that the rote, vanilla suffocatingly predictable screenplay sidelines most of them. I mean, sure we all know how this thing is going to end, but I actually identified the actual plot devices that would bring about the wholly expected ending within the first 10 minutes of the movie.
The pedestrian script by David Diamond and David Weissman is directed with minimal flair by Mark Steven Johnson (Daredevil, Ghost Rider), though the film looks pretty enough thanks to some decent cinematography by John Bailey. Kristen Bell's ease on the eyes doesn't hurt much, and I imagine the same would be true for the ladies and Josh Duhamel.
Speaking of the cast, Bell and Duhamel make affable enough leads (though his friend Puck, played by SNL alum Bobby Moynihan grated my nerves. I wouldn't have imagined a more annoying version of Kevin James were possible), and seem to have a genuine chemistry.
Bell has a Christina Applegate-like comic timing that would be better served by some actually funny material, though most of the chuckles come from Dax Shepard and Will Arnett who are really going to town in the manic absurdity department.
Danny DeVito is a sweetheart as Al Russo, though to be honest I was having a hard time figuring out why he was in the movie at all if the film wasn't going to utilize his inherent insanity. If he had played Russo like Louie from Taxi, he could have easily stolen the entire flick.
It's not as though they weren't swinging for the fences, and I can't fault When in Rome for not trying to entertain--just for failing much more than it succeeds.

The Center
The main administrative offices of NYU Shanghai are located on the campus of East China Normal University, one of the country's premier institutions of higher learning, located to the northwest of the city center. The sprawling, green campus hosts many facilities such as a large library, classroom and administrative buildings, dormitories, extensive playing fields, and various small shops and restaurants. There you'll find the director and student activities and housing staff, a computer lab and lounge for studying and checking email as well as a ping-pong table where students hold frequent tournaments.
Mandarin language courses also meet mornings in classrooms on campus and are taught by ECNU professors who are experts in teaching Chinese as a second language. A shuttle bus runs throughout the day to transport you to all your content courses which meet at the NYU Shanghai downtown center, conveniently located near Zhongshan Park and many nearby restaurants, shops and a metro station. Modern classrooms, a computer lab and meeting rooms are available at the downtown center which is staffed by an NYU Shanghai administrator. The centralized nature and small size of the NYU Shanghai program also provides an amazing community environment for you as a student.

The full-size Sportsman 400 H.O. is the best value ATV on the market. Built with the same full-size chassis as the Sportsman 570 H.O., it delivers exceptional ride and handling and the reliable power of a 455cc liquid-cooled engine.
True AWD keeps you moving, automatically engaging all four wheels when you need more forward traction and reverting back to 2WD when you don't. Other ATVs use a limited-slip differential, engaging only three wheels.
The most integrated storage of any ATV. The 6.5 gallon capacity lets you stow-away loads of gear and still have access to it, even with items tied to the deck (or storage cover).
An aggressive body style gives the Sportsman an intimidating look and clear sight lines for the driver. Integrated front storage and Lock & Ride® compatible rear rack make it easy to carry gear.
Radiator is mounted high in the chassis and angled rearward to keep it out of mud and you on the trail longer.
The Sportsman lives up to its Hard Working reputation with a 1,225 lb. towing capacity, so you can tow trailers loaded with material and equipment.
A full 11.25" of obstacle-clearing ground clearance lets you tackle some of the tougher terrain that comes your way.
The Sportsman was the world's first ATV with IRS, a feature that made it as popular as it is today. Its rock-solid design has 9.5" of travel to minimize body roll and keep the ride smooth.

Hacking settlement to cost Stratfor $1.75 million
Stratfor has agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit filed against the global intelligence firm after hackers affiliated with Anonymous stole subscriber data from its computers last year, Reuters reported today.
The settlement -- which calls for Stratfor to offer subscribers one month of free access to its service, a digital version of a book, and credit-monitoring service, in addition to paying attorney fees -- is expected to cost the company about $1.75 million, according to the settlement given preliminary approval by Judge Denis Hurley in U.S. federal court in New York.

Fab Silberstein eagerly shows off her retro-inspired swimwear line, pulling out a soft one-piece with a lacy over-skirt, then several vibrantly patterned bikinis — all samples from her second La Belle Rebelle collection, which she will present to buyers at next week's SwimShow in Miami Beach.
With a degree in fashion merchandising and financial help from her family, Silberstein launched her line here last year, manufacturing in her native Uruguay.
Like dozens of other South Florida designers, Silberstein is translating her dreams into fashion, and has chosen Miami to showcase her wares.
"In Miami, I feel there is this underlying culture of very talented, emerging designers that are just starting to break out," said Silberstein, 25, who opened a shop on Washington Avenue in Miami Beach in June. "I'm seeing it grow."
As Swim Week kicks off in the coming days — with a flurry of trade and fashion shows, parties and other events surrounding swimwear, the fashion world is again aiming the spotlight on South Florida. Here, the Miami aesthetic reigns, with more bright colors, prints and flowing, cutting-edge styles.
Whether designing swimwear, footwear, children's or menswear, women's apparel, evening and bridal gowns or lingerie, fashion designers are flourishing in Miami, where barriers to entry are lower, and competition less fierce than in other U.S. design hubs like New York or Los Angeles.
"Years ago, you almost had to live in one of the major fashion capitals to really become known as a designer or make your mark in the industry," said Charlene Parsons, department chair for fashion at Miami International University of Art & Design, who has watched the industry develop over 40 years. "Now, you can almost live anywhere, because of the Internet and because of how things have changed."
Indeed, from new entrants to more established brands like Perry Ellis International, Rene Ruiz, Eberjey or Julian Chang, South Florida has proven to be an exciting, desirable base for creating a collection and building a brand name.
The fashion industry is spurred by the Swimwear Association of Florida's SwimShow — the largest swimwear trade show in the world that brings buyers here from across the globe each July — plus swanky Art Basel Miami Beach and fashion-related events that are spread throughout the year. New designer boutiques opening in Aventura, Bal Harbour Shops and the Design District also help boost the area's cachet.
"What we're finding is that more and more we have fashion lifestyle companies looking to establish in Miami, not just for retail but for their business operation," said Pamela Fuertes, vice president of the international economic development program at the Beacon Council. "Companies are saying we need to be in a place that is exciting and growing, and that is Miami."
For the past five years, the Beacon Council, Miami-Dade County's economic development agency, has targeted the fashion industry as an area for growth.
"It really does make sense because it is one of these industries making Miami modern, sophisticated and really attractive," Fuertes said.
Most recently, the Beacon Council's One Community One Goal creative design committee has begun an initiative to create a fashion design incubator in Miami, geared to helping foster the industry's development, Fuertes said. The effort is in its infancy, though, and no date is yet set — nor has funding yet been determined — for the project, she said.

C A+F Computers: Sometimes I need my own computer
B A+F Overall Experience: It is a good school
A A+F Majors: The dental program is very rigorous, as it should be. Being a new school, the faculty is always looking for suggestions to make the class better. Everything here is state of the art and the clinic is brand new will all top of the line equipment.
Majors: I have not had an internship or anything of the like. I am in the dental program (my first year) and will be working in the clinic my third year.
A A+F Guys & Girls: I do not see why this matters. Midwestern is a health care, graduate school. Majority of the people are in commited relationships or are married. The dental students are very attractive though, so there is eye candy and everyone here is smart since they are going to be doctors.
A A+F Local Atmosphere: Downers Grove is very close to Chicago, so there is plenty to do there! There are many towns surrounding the school that have quality living, food, and entertainment. There are plenty of malls and shopping centers nearby as well.
A A+F Parking: There is a huge parking garage on campus and many other parking locations available. Spots fill up quickly, but there are usually spots open on the upper floors of the garage. When leaving the garage, there can be a wait, but that is dependent on your class size. 130 people leaving the garage at once can clog it up.
A+ A+F Health & Safety: I think the fact that campus is gated and there is security monitoring who enters and leaves campus makes it feel very safe.
B A+F Weather: It's by Chicago therefore the weather in the windy city is unpredictable. This winter was way too long and the summers not long enough.
A A+F Local Atmosphere: Downers grove is a suburb next to Chicago, which makes it nice and quite during the week but with great places to go to during the weekend. About an hour away is UIC another dental college and we sometimes have events with their classes.
B A+F Academics: I'm in the Dental Medicine Program, and have had mixed fillings about my education regarding my dental classes so far. We have an amazing SIM clinic, unfortunately the dental faculty is all over the place at times, and we have a lot of down time where we are just sitting around without making the best of our time. The work load is substantial, because we are in dental school.
B+ A+F Academics: I came to Midwestern University because of its Dental Medicine program, the campus is great, the professors are specialist in their field, therefore the classes are nicely integrated. The dental classes are a little unorganized because the dental program is only 2 years old.
B A+F Off-Campus Housing: Many extremely nice options but with a price tag to match
A A+F Diversity: This is a graduate school so the diversity is excellent because they select the best candidates from anywhere
A A+F Athletics: There are no athletics but there are many intramural opportunities
B A+F Athletics: This school does not have any official athletic teams, but they do have intramural sports. They also have a gym in the Health and Wellness Center you can use.
B A+F Campus Housing: I heard the dorms are very expensive on campus, so most students rent an apartment near school.
B A+F Campus Strictness: You need your ID to get into the campus or else it becomes difficult. You also need your ID to enter any building. They are pretty strict about this. You also cannot be more than 10 minutes late for most exams in the testing center or they might not let you take the test.
B A+F Parking: Sometimes it is difficult to find parking, but if you come early enough, you can find a good spot. You mostly park in the parking garage.
B A+F Majors: There are many majors at this school such as pharmacy, dentistry, medicine, and physical therapy. They are all very challenging programs.
B A+F Majors: Pharmacy program is good and very challenging. Expect to complete several rotations.Medicine and dental programs are also very well-established.
B A+F Academics: The courses are rather challenging, and tests can be difficult at times. You need to study hard.
B A+F Health & Safety: This school has a Wellness Center where you can get all your immunizations done. Security is high, so it is a relatively safe school.
B A+F Diversity: This school is not that diverse with most students being Caucasian. There are some other races, but not many.
B A+F Academics: Classes are challenging and tests can be difficult if you don't study for them.

i want to let everyone know that i have gone in and edited the subject line of the threads that show the bonding process from start to finish.
the title remains the same, but i have updated it with *BONDED* afterwards. this will give new people a good starting point if they want to read about successful bonding.
if you decide to document your bonding experience, first of all... THANK YOU! reading other's experiences is very helpful for people to see what does and does not work for some buns.
second, my suggestion is that you try to keep the whole process in the same thread so the back story is available for folks coming into the story late.
finally, if you have the ability to take pictures (or even better, short 1-2 minute videos!), that is very helpful when determining body language. it's usually easier to "see" what is going on then to try to put into words...
Posted By coco25 on 02/11/2010 05:41 PM Can u bond 2 male bunnies and How long do u think it will take?
Absolutely! Two neutered bucks can be bonded. Unfixed rabbits will more likely fight and it can be nasty. On how long it takes - this is totally variable. Some create an instant bond, sometimes it's a week, 2, a month, several, even longer. Some bonds can be difficult and take longer maybe due to rabbits personalities or history, but they get there eventually.
2 things that will help are having neutral space to work in (i.e.area both rabbits have not spent time in) and consistancy of bonding sessions. Daily work with them should get them well on the way to becoming bonded.
If you have further questions, perhaps start a new thread regarding your rabbits. I'm afraid your questions might become lost in this thread...
Hi i am happy to tell you that we got both male bunnies out at the same time and they are doing pretty good.I'm so happy and excited.
Thanks vey much! ill try to figure out how! (computer challenged)
Hello Griffenbun. If you create a new thread for your question it is more likely to be seen and answered. Currently your post is at end of an older thread and may get lost. For a new thread, just click on Add New Topic at the top left hand side just above the Green bar titled "Topics". In case you don't create a new thread I'll try answer your question. (I can paste it in new thread if you do make one.) When the rabbits sit heads together like that they are requesting each other to groom them, It's a bit like a stand off between them. Have both your rabbits been spayed and neutered? This will help tremendously in bonding.
by the way, I have my eye on that little grey dutch marked bunny of yours!!!!!!!
yes they're both spayed/neutered. good to finally know what that means !! I've been google-ing it like crazy! There is definitely alot of tension in the tub with these two! She is for sure the aggressive one, she seems annoyed that he is so eager. Do you think there's any hope?
oh my goodness he's hard to keep an eye on! He is a big personality in a small package, we bought him from the Humane Society and could not be happier. he is soooooo gooooooood! learns very fast and knows what no means already!..loves to cuddle and will sleep with me in bed at times. Has to jump on everyone he meets!
I am sitting with them now. She is munching hay stuffed into a wine box (with separate compartments) and he is watching her and me. His two prized possessions, I guess he thinks

Vermeil Plating: Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze: Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or 18K gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
Morganite is the soft pink, sometimes peach or lavender colored, variety of beryl. Often referred to as "pink beryl," morganite has been called "pink emerald" and "pink aquamarine" to emphasize the kinship to its popular cousins. The pastel gem is colored by trace amounts of manganese in the crystal structure. It has excellent fire and is dichroic, meaning it shows pink hues when viewed from one angle and near colorless properties from another. Almost all morganite is heat-treated to produce or enhance the pink color. Lower quality morganite occurs in colors ranging from a peach-orange to a pinkish-yellow, but once it's heat-treated, the color changes to a beautiful soft pink.
First discovered in Madagascar in 1911, morganite was named after the American banker and gem enthusiast, John Pierpont Morgan. Legend says that he went down with the Titanic, but Morgan actually missed the doomed maiden voyage and died the following year in Rome, just shy of his 76th birthday. While morganite can be found in Mozambique, Namibia, Afghanistan, Russia and the United States, the finest morganites come from Madagascar and Brazil. In fact, the largest faceted morganite came from Madagascar. It is a 598.70ct cushion-shaped stone residing in the British Museum.
Morganite's hardness ranks 7.5-8.0 on the Mohs Scale . With its dazzling luster, exquisite color and sufficient hardness, the stone is especially suitable for jewelry. Unfortunately, morganite is relatively rare. This fact alone prevents it from achieving greater popularity as a jewelry gem.
Palladium: A selection of our jewelry is made of sterling palladium alloy. Palladium is a member of the platinum group of precious metals. By replacing a portion of the copper content used in standard sterling silver with palladium, this proprietary formula renders a precious metal with superior performance attributes. Sterling palladium is five times more tarnish-resistant than standard sterling silver and has strength similar to that of 14K gold.
Palladium has been used as a precious metal in jewelry since 1939, originally as an alternative to platinum for making white gold. Its naturally white color requires no rhodium plating. Additionally, palladium is proportionally much lighter than platinum and is ideal for use in heavier gemstone jewelry. It is a more expensive alloy than nickel, but it seldom causes the allergic reactions that nickel alloy can.
Gems en Vogue II The vintage inspired designs of Gems en Vogue II conjure romantic visions of elegance from the Art Deco movement to the French Renaissance. Set in advanced Sterling Palladium Alloy with 18K Gold Embraced™ accents, each piece of Gem en Vogue II jewelry is a wearable work of art, individually designed and executed with intriguing, often unexpected detail and highlighted by a colorful variety of unique gems.
Each piece of jewelry is designed around a specific gemstone and is often inspired by nature or architecture and influenced by historical jewelry and current fashion trends. The ultimate goal is always to present customers with original jewelry pieces they'll be delighted to wear.
About the Guest Guest Michael Valitutti G.G. (GIA) is a graduate gemologist from the Gemological Institute of America with a wealth of knowledge and a deep passion for gemstones and jewelry. Winner of two design competitions and the subject of numerous articles and industry news, Michael introduced Sterling Palladium Alloy to America in 2006 with the launch of Gems en Vogue II.
Before entering the jewelry business, Michael had decided to pursue his MBA. However, before returning to his studies, he took a summer job working for a friend - a jeweler in a swanky area of downtown Toronto. He recalls, "I liked it so much, I decided to pursue this career full time, so I asked for a refund of my tuition and the rest is history." It's no surprise that Michael ended up on TV selling jewelry. More than 30 years ago, he did a pilot for his own TV show. He also worked at the TV station on weekends, working his way up to floor director. Now he is at home on TV and at home in the jewelry business.

Loading... Musta torni I : Revolverimies (edition 2009)by Stephen King, Kari Salminen (Translator), Michael Whelan (Cover designer)
Work detailsThe Gunslinger by Stephen King
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. Since it's late at night and I should go to bed, quick review: Read this book. It's part western, part fantasy, part everything else you can read about on wikipedia or anywhere else. It's worth a read, I didn't want to put the book down, yet it took me a bit because shoveling snow got in the way. I'm really looking forward to continuing the series now. Might have to do that tomorrow. Read the first four about a dozen years ago, when no one was certain if Stephen King would ever finish them. Rereading during those hours when Beka has woken me up, and I can't go back to sleep (which is a lot lately). Still find the story very enjoyable. With the dryness of the dessert almost consuming him with his lack of water, he walks alone. When The Gunslinger comes upon a lonesome man and his raven he's trying to locate his one sworn enemy The Man In Black. When The Gunslinger is sent off to a town that, like everyplace else, is in the middle of no-where he resides with the bar maid Alice until the tragedy strikes the town. The Gunslinger never seems to be able to escape all the death and heartache that one man single handedly caused. Will the Gunslinger ever catch The Man In Black, or will he be left wondering about the mystery of The Dark Tower? The Gunslinger by Stephen King was deffinetly NOT what I expected. I mostly know Stephen King for his horror works such as The Shining, or Rose Red. This story, in my opinion, was very slow paced and a little boring. To add to that the fact at how hard it is to relate to the characters makes this book one I would never recommend to anyone looking for a good read. But if you enjoy long winded, dragged out story lines that don't seem to go anywhere this is a book for you. I admit it, I have never really liked Stephen King's horror novels. I do like his 'On Writing' book, but his horror works have always sat uncomfortably with me. I thought perhaps his fantasy work would be a bit different, but it slowly dawned on me, as I read this book, that it's his style of writing fiction that bothers me. The story itself is slow and plodding. I did quite like the end - not just because it was the end (though that was part of it), but also because it finally felt like it was going somewhere. Prior warning was given to me about the slowness of this novel, but I think my dislike just stems from the writing style. The story itself is fine, a bit different, a bit weird, but fine. I can't help but think if someone else had written it, I would probably like it better. It was just too sloggy and boring. I don't want to read about some guy chasing another guy while the world is dying around them. Every word seemed to drip with apathy, lethargy and hopelessness the character[s] waswere feeling. no reviews | add a review Is contained inThe Dark Tower Boxed Set (Books 1-4) by Stephen King The Dark Tower, Books 1-3: The Gunslinger, The Drawing of the Three, and The Waste Lands by Stephen King Has the adaptationWas inspired byHas as a concordance

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0452284694, Paperback)Thirty-three years, a horrific and life-altering accident, and thousands of desperately rabid fans in the making, Stephen King's quest to complete his magnum opus rivals the quest of Roland and his band of gunslingers who inhabit the Dark Tower series. Loyal DT fans and new readers alike will appreciate this revised edition of The Gunslinger, which breathes new life into Roland of Gilead, and offers readers a "clearer start and slightly easier entry into Roland's world."King writes both a new introduction and foreword to this revised edition, and the ever-patient, ever-loyal "constant reader" is rewarded with secrets to the series's inception. That a "magic" ream of green paper and a Robert Browning poem, came together to reveal to King his "ka" is no real surprise (this is King after all), but who would have thought that the squinty-eyed trio of Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach would set the author on his true path to the Tower? While King credits Tolkien for inspiring the "quest and magic" that pervades the series, it was Sergio Leone's The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly that helped create the epic proportions and "almost absurdly majestic western backdrop" of Roland's world. To King, The Gunslinger demanded revision because once the series was complete it became obvious that "the beginning was out of sync with the ending." While the revision adds only 35 pages, Dark Tower purists will notice the changes to Allie's fate and Roland's interaction with Cort, Jake, and the Man in Black--all stellar scenes that will reignite the hunger for the rest of the series. Newcomers will appreciate the details and insight into Roland's life. The revised Roland of Gilead (nee Deschain) is embodied with more humanity--he loves, he pities, he regrets. What DT fans might miss is the same ambiguity and mystery of the original that gave the original its pulpy underground feel (back when King himself awaited word from Roland's world). --Daphne Durham (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:25:03 -0400) First portion of an epic story of a fantastic world of good versus evil in which the hero, The Gunslinger, pursues The Man in Black.

Not only were the Boise State Broncos able to snuff out one of the hottest scorers in the country Wednesday night, they were able to catch fire themselves.
Boise State held Air Force guard Michael Lyons, the Mountain West's leading scorer, to 10 points, and found some scoring balance themselves in a 77-65 win.
"A complete game," Boise State coach Leon Rice said.
Lyons, who was coming off a 45-point performance Saturday, was held to 2-of-9 shooting and 10 points - his third-lowest showing of the season.
After shooting 57.1 percent from the field, the Falcons were held to 36.7 percent (11-of-30) in the second half, as Boise State yielded 26 fewer points Wednesday against Air Force than it had Jan. 19 in Colorado Springs. Lyons, who sprained a finger in the first half Wednesday, had 37 points in that game.
"We changed up some schemes ... to hold Lyons to that, and we held them to 37 percent in the second half, that's pretty good defense," Boise State guard Jeff Elorriaga said. "We were happy with the way we played. That was a big key, because they blitzkrieged us with 91 points last time."
Though the Broncos (17-8, 5-6 MW) came into the game as the only team in the Mountain West allowing more than 70 points per game in conference play, they have held their past four opponents to 62.3 points per game.
Rice said Air Force (15-10, 6-6) had too many close baskets in the team's last meeting, and the Broncos worked to cut off some of those angles. The Falcons attempted 25 3-pointers in what Rice called "another big step for us defensively."
"They had great intensity on defense," Air Force guard Todd Fletcher said. "Just that alone kind of took us out of the flow we normally have. They were great (Wednesday)."
As strong as the defensive effort was, the showing on the other end matched it, with four players scoring in double figures. In the Broncos' previous game, Saturday at New Mexico, they were held to a season-low 50 points.
Boise State shot 53.7 percent from the field, its best in a conference game since March 4, 2010, and got 22 assists on 29 field goals while only turning it over six times.
"The ball movement (Wednesday) was great, and that's what led us to all those easy baskets," Elorriaga said.
The Broncos had their fair share of open looks, making 10 3-pointers, their most since Jan. 9. Elorriaga bounced back from a 1-of-9 showing Saturday by making 5-of-12 3-pointers.
With Air Force trailing 35-34 at halftime, the Broncos had hoped to be more aggressive, but the long distance shots were open, and they made back-to-back 3-pointers in first 36 seconds of the second half to go up by seven. Air Force never got within five points again.
"It's funny, you spend halftime talking about getting the ball to the hole and getting to the free-throw line, because we hadn't shot any free throws, and right away, it's two quick 3s," Rice said. " Whack, whack, they hit the first two, and that got things rolling."
Anthony Drmic led all scorers with 23 points, 21 in the second half. He scored 18 of the Broncos' first 28 points in the second half, as they led by as many as 21 points. Elorriaga had 17 points, Thomas Bropleh had 10 off the bench and Derrick Marks had 11 points and nine assists.
Boise State, on the bubble for an NCAA Tournament at-large bid, moved to within a half-game of the Falcons for fifth in the conference standings with a road game at Fresno State this Saturday.
"This was a crucial game for us, and we knew it," Rice said.

When they needed him most, the Trail Blazers turned to their All-Star on Saturday. On a night when the Blazers were far from their best against struggling Detroit, LaMarcus Aldridge put on dominant performance, getting 31 points and 12 rebounds to fuel a 112-101 victory before 20,161 at the Rose Garden. "He was huge," Blazers forward Nicolas Batum said. "He had an All-Star game tonight." Aldridge's points weren't just statbook stuffers. Many came at crucial points of a game the Blazers, trying desperately to make a final playoff push, could not afford to lose. After trailing by as many as 11 points, the Blazers (31-34) scratched their way into a 77-75 lead at the end of the third quarter, then went to their All-Star to take control.
LaMarcus Aldridge puts in an All-Star effort to lead Blazers past Pistons

Suitable from 18 - 36 months
Order in the next 5 hours 41 minutes for express home delivery on Monday
Young children will happily zoom off to sleep in this lovely retro chick sleeping bag design.
In super soft and warm 100% cotton jersey fabric in gorgeous contemporary colours, this grobag is perfect to keep little ones snuggled up throughout the night.
Just to comment on the previous feedback about the bag being too large... it has been designed to be long so that you can put your sleeping baby into a carseat without having to undress them to fit the staps. The extra length helps when trying to clip into the crutch stap between their legs... useful when driving home after an evening at the grandparents and they are bathed and ready for bed before we leave.
The sleeping bag is of good quality and has a lovely design. My only issue is that the largest size - 18-36 months - is very big. It's hard to imagine a 3 year old child to be that tall - the bag is 110 cm long, which means it is suitable for a child about 130 cm tall. Even if we allow for 10 cm leeway, that still means the child should be 120 cm tall to fit comfortably in the bag. I hope that this information will help other customers to decide which size to buy.

A little Tillamook Muenster teaches your taste buds to love sauerkraut. United with grilled onions, sliced ham and brown mustard on butter-grilled sourdough bread… this sandwich is the result of globalization.
"This is another sandwich special we occasionally run at the carts. Kraut, Tillamook Muenster, and spicy brown mustard make for a very nice combo, while the onions and ham round things out quite well." – Matt Breslow of the Grilled Cheese Grill
8 slices (8 oz) sliced Tillamook® Muenster Cheese
4 oz (½ cup) sauerkraut
4 oz (½ cup) grilled onions
8 oz sliced ham
4 slices sourdough bread
Spicy brown mustard of your choice
Tillamook® Salted Butter, melted
Preheat a countertop griddle or frying pan to medium-high heat. Butter one side of all slices of bread and place on the grill, butter side down. Put an even amount of Tillamook Muenster on the slices of bread and place a pot lid over both slices to help the cheese melt.
On the other side of the griddle (or in another frying pan), mix the kraut and onions and begin heating them. At the same time, grill the slices of ham. Once hot, transfer the ham onto half of the bread slices, and scoop the kraut and onions on top of the ham. If mustard is in a squirt bottle, squirt your desired amount over the kraut and onions.
Once the cheese is melted and bread is browned, close the sandwich. Flip it over a few times, allowing the cheese to melt into the ingredients. When it's done, pull it from the griddle, cut, and enjoy.
