There is no one-size-fits-all option for packing peppers to ship to market. Pepper producers find that customizing their packaging options best suits their customers' varying needs.
"We do whatever we can to individualize (packaging) for our customers and focus on what their specific needs are," said Ben Wiers, vice president of operations at Wiers Farm, Willard, Ohio.
He said they don't have clamshells but do offer specialty packs, for which he's seen a greater demand.
"Certain retail chains want the open-top bell pepper (package) because they get greater consistency with this, the same quality from pepper to pepper.
"We want to meet our customers' expectations so they can increase their sales and we can increase our sales," Wiers added. "That's why we are willing to do the specialty packs."
Prime Time International, Coachella, Calif., offers a variety of packaging options, including multicolored or single-color bell peppers in bags, or customers can mix and match colors, said director of marketing Mike Aiton. Prime Time also offers four-, six-, eight- and nine-count and choice grade.
"It gives us a lot of flexibility to put up different packs for all our customers," Aiton explained.
Aiton added that growth in miniature peppers surged last year and the company tripled its acreage.
"It's a quickly growing item for us," he said. "We have those in 1- and 2-pound bags, clamshells and bulk."
In response to its customer demand, Vancouver, British Columbia-based Oppenheimer Group anticipated all of its value-added pepper programs to increase this season, said Aaron Quon, greenhouse category director.
"Our growers are very nimble and can adapt quickly to a range of customer preferences," he said. "We offer two-packs, three-packs, four-packs and six-packs, as well as 2-pound bags using various combinations of all three colors for each. As retail value-added programs continue to grow, we will build on our substantial portfolio of packaging options."
"We pride ourselves on continuing the search for new packaging initiatives," said Kevin Batt, director of sales for BC Hot House Foods Inc., Surrey, British Columbia.
He said the bell pepper box it uses is a result of years of testing to help ensure longer shelf life.
"We continue to tailor our packing to that of the customer. Whether it's a 2-pound mixed pepper bag or 'watermelon'-sized bins for bulk/case lot sales, we have the flexibility to pack as requested."
At Nature Fresh Farms, Leamington, Ontario, the four- and six-packs are popular choices, as is the rainbow three-pack (red, yellow and orange bells), said president Peter Quiring, adding that they also offer individually wrapped peppers.
A few large retailers have expressed interest in reusable plastic containers, so Gilroy, Calif-based Uesugi Farms Inc. created ways to pack more RPCs and Euro display-ready cartons, said salesman Damon Barkdull. Uesugi Farms soon plans to pack all three colors of bell peppers into RPCs and Euros.
"Our Euro pack, or display-ready pack, is a great option for retailers," he said. "For retailers willing to use the display-ready box in their merchandising, there's virtually no extra handling. The bonus with the Euro pack is you're getting only the best peppers by color, shape and condition. Plus, it's a shrink-free pack. Less hassle means more profit at the retail end."

Jack Pritchard, a former high-level envoy to North Korea and president of the Korean Economic Institute, said on "Washington Unplugged" Wednesday that there "has been a lot of [behind the scenes] activity" between the U.S. and North Korean governments since two American journalists were detained by North Korea.
"The North Koreans have a small mission in New York, about eight or nine people. One of those individuals, at a minister level, his job is solely to maintain contact with the United States," Pritchard said. "There is an open channel of communications there that's been open since day one."
He said that "instructions" have been channeled from Kim Jung Il to New York to Washington, DC, a process that resulted in former President Bill Clinton's mission to negotiate the women's pardon. Additionally, Pritchard said that North Korean officials pressured the journalists to tell their families that it would take Mr. Clinton or another high level envoy to make the deal.
Pritchard also said that Swedish ambassador Mats Foyer was influential in the months leading up to the release, and that Foyer visited the journalists a few times.
Washington Unplugged moderator Sharyl Attkisson asked if the fact that the women were never actually sent to the hard labor camp could be seen as evidence that negotiations were ongoing.
"It's hard to tell," Pritchard said. "When they weren't [sent away] it was a clear signal that the North Koreans were looking for a dialogue with the United States."
The North Koreans indicated over the last couple of weeks "the seniority of the envoy they would be looking for," he added.
Pritchard said that the arrest in North Korea was different from the kidnapping of three hikers in Iran. He said Americans should not expect a high-level diplomatic mission to meet with Ahmadinejad.
Acknowledging that Lee and Ling broke local law is "different than a terrorist going out and capturing Americans and kind of holding them hostage," he said.
Moving forward, Pritchard said the mission should encourage the U.S. to "lead as quickly as possible to multilateral dialogue and a quick path to nuclearization."

Fifty years today, a new
president thrust into office by tragedy delivered his first State of the Union address and challenged the nation to address the drastic economic inequality that condemned millions of Americans to lives without decent housing, adequate nutrition, education or hope.
Lyndon B. Johnson's broad-ranging initiative came to be known as the War on Poverty, a cornerstone for what he termed the Great Society. His speech, on Jan. 8, 1964, led Congress to pass the Economic Opportunity Act, which established the Office of Economic Opportunity to administer federal funds targeted against poverty.
Johnson's call for direct government intervention aimed at uplifting the lives of lower-income Americans led to the creation of many programs that endure a half-century later, including Medicare and Medicaid, Head Start and food stamps. In Portage County, the War in Poverty led to the establishment of the Community Action Council and the Portage Metropolitan Housing Authority, which have worked diligently for nearly five decades to improve conditions of those in need.
When President Johnson addressed Congress in January 1964, nearly one in five Americans lived in poverty. Parts of Appalachia lacked electricity and indoor plumbing. Hunger and infant mortality posed challenges for many families. Millions lived in substandard housing.
The War on Poverty, the most far-reaching attempt at social engineering since Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal more than a generation earlier, unquestionably improved the lives of millions of Americans by enlarging the social safety net and providing necessary assistance for many. But Johnson's other war, the debacle in Vietnam that eventually consumed his presidency and turned him out of office, did a great deal to halt the progress made by Great Society programs.
Fifty years later, some would argue that the War in Poverty was a failure. The poverty level today is about 15 percent, millions remain out of work in the wake of the Great Recession of 2008, food banks continue to address local hunger issues and children in poor neighborhoods often receive substandard education. Inequality in economic opportunity persists.
But while there is no question that many Americans continue to find themselves on the short end of the economic spectrum, the dire straits confronted by millions in 1964 have eased. Programs such as Medicare and Medicaid have provided a foundation for medical care; food subsidies and housing assistance have eased hunger and provided decent housing.
Lyndon Johnson's "war" didn't defeat poverty, but it did make a difference in fighting a battle that remains to be fought today. The programs it inspired changed lives, and millions of Americans are better off today because of a president who challenged Congress to improve their living conditions.

I've got it on with a scenery attach script, textured, the jetpack boosting effect working (using flashlight and damage_effect), but... the animation isn't working. I figured there are two ways for it to work.
1. Script. I had a script before but I lost it in a hard drive crash. And I'm not a scripter so I can't figure out how to make it work. All I need is that when the flashlight is clicked on, the "enter" animation plays, then transitions into the "idle". Then when clicked off, the "exit" animation plays. Then ready to "enter" again when flashlight is clicked again.
2. Function. Apparently I can put on a function to the jetpack so that when flashlight is clicked etc. etc.
Problem is, I don't have either skills to do what I need to make it perfect.
What I'm asking is for the Modacity members to help me out here.

NBC's crowning primetime achievement in the past couple of years has undoubtedly been The Voice. So it should come as no surprise that The Voice Kids is in the works.
The New York Post quotes a source that says they are hoping to begin production on the show by the end of the year. Interestingly, casting calls were posted in New York, Los Angeles, and Dallas, but were pulled after producers realized they couldn't prepare the show in time for shooting at the same time as The Voice's fifth cycle.
The Voice Kids will use the same stage, but presumably different judges will be employed for the production. The Voice currently enlists Blake Shelton, Usher, Adam Levine, and Shakira. Cee-Lo and Christina Aguilera are expected to return following their break this year.
The Post notes that Germany, Holland and Finland already air their own versions of The Voice Kids, and each has been a success.
Spin offs of talent competitions aimed at kids aren't always a success, however. American Idol had a kids spin off entitled American Juniors. Even though it had the same production team as Idol, it only lasted one season.
Will you watch The Voice Kids, or do you fear you may get a little overwhelmed with all of The Voice programming? NBC has been purposely churning out new seasons of the show quickly to use it to bring new audiences to the ailing network.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Symphony No. 29
Mozart spent much of his youth traveling through Europe and performing in circumstances arranged by Leopold, his enterprising father. Their last major trip together took them through Italy for over a year, until they returned to Salzburg in December 1771. This period marked a turning point for Mozart, for at fifteen he was getting a little old to be paraded around by his father as a child prodigy. At the same time, the death of Salzburg's Archbishop (who had made Leopold the Assistant Kapellmeister and Wolfgang an honorary Konzertmeister) complicated their standing at home, and the new Archbishop proved to be a troublesome employer.
Those problems at court did not slow Mozart's composing, nor did two follow-up trips to Milan to present music for which Leopold had secured commissions on their earlier visit. Between 1771 and 1774 Mozart issued more than twenty symphonies, about half of his lifetime output. Many of those works qualify as youthful experiments, but some bear early signs of Mozart's genius, such as the Symphony No. 29 in A, written at age eighteen.
The symphony's opening movement introduces the primary theme, characterized by its descending octave leaps, over a gentle chorale accompaniment at a piano dynamic. As might be expected, this material repeats at a firm forte dynamic; the surprise is that it adds a layer of contrapuntal complexity, with the low strings chasing the violins on the same material but delayed by two beats. This heightened sense of layering and counterpoint runs throughout the symphony, as in the Andante second movement, which waits only four measures before adding a bouncing countermelody to the dignified violin theme.
After the slow movement's hush of muted strings, the minuet supplies a playful and rustic color with dramatic dynamic changes and tongue-in-cheek fanfares. Closing the symphony, the Allegro con spirito finale re-integrates ideas from the opening movement, including a new theme built from octave leaps. Call-and-response phrases and melodic imitation reinforce the work's abundance of sophisticated counterpoint, signaling a new maturity in Mozart's symphonic craft.

Garages of the Valley (World Premiere)
The composer provided the following note about Garages of the Valley for Chamber Orchestra:
Paradoxically, much of what we now think of as "the Digital Age" was dreamed up in the most low-tech of spaces. The garages that dot the landscape of Silicon Valley housed the visionaries behind Apple, Hewlett Packard, Intel, and Google.
My imagined music of these tech workshops begins hyper-kinetically yet sporadically, filled with false starts. It soon flashes into a quicksilver world of out exotic textures and tunings that is informed by the music of the French composer Gerard Grisey, whose imaginative orchestrations sound electronic but are completely unplugged. The exhilarating finale reflects the infectious optimism of the great inventors of our time, who from their dark garages conjured new worlds within the bright Valley.
The piece is dedicated to Maestro Edo de Waart, who lived just north of the Valley when some of its garages were just starting to burst with energy.

Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Serenade for Strings
A work of tremendous immediate appeal, Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings could equally well be heard on deeper listening as an artistic credo of sorts. Composed simultaneously with the 1812 Overture, the Serenade, by contrast to the bombast of 1812, represents an intent focus on craft as a vehicle for personal expression.
The private anguish Tchaikovsky wrestled with throughout his life has been well documented, centering primarily on his sexuality and social relationships. Add to these his cultural orientation as a less palpable, but no less pointedly felt, source of angst. Tchaikovsky was Russian, and held a fervent love for his homeland. He likewise grew up with a deep affinity with French culture: his mother, with whom he was close, was an amateur pianist and singer of French descent; one anecdote relates how, as a child, Tchaikovsky would kiss Russia on a map of Europe, then spit on the rest of the continent—but with his hand covering France.
The Russian-Western dichotomy would become more pronounced in his artistic maturity. Among the Russian composers of his generation, Tchaikovsky was the most firmly rooted in the Western Classical tradition, thus aesthetically distanced from his self-trained compatriots known as the Five (Balakirev, Borodin, Cui, Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov), who strived to create a distinctly Russian school of music. He was, in other words, not as Russian as the Russians; nor did he quite fit among the German Romantics (Brahms, et al.).
In the Serenade for Strings, Tchaikovsky seems to work out his cultural identity before our very ears. The Serenade demonstrates Western technique styled after Mozart—Tchaikovsky's musical idol—and Beethoven. It is, surmises musicologist Roland John Wiley, "as closely knit a motivic work as Tchaikovsky ever wrote." The opening Pezzo in forma di Sonatina— an overt homage to Mozart in both form and character—begins with a descending melodic figure that unifies much of the work. The ascending scales that follow become the theme of the fetching second movement Walzer, and reappear in the introductory measures of the poignant Élégie.
The Serenade's rollicking Finale is based on what Tchaikovsky identifies as a Tema Russo, yet derives from the motif that opens the Mozartian Pezzo in forma di Sonatina. Lest there be any doubt, the Russian theme slows to a verbatim reprise of the previous melody before the Serenade's climactic end. Wiley interprets the Serenade as "an essay in Western/Russian rapprochement which favors Russian at the end." It is also, more importantly, a sheer triumphant work. Tchaikovsky's catharsis is our gain.

A herd of onesie-wearing West Australians will be inspected on Saturday morning to ensure they meet correct cattle competition criteria.
The south-west dairy farming town Cowaramup is attempting to beat the Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people dressed as cows.
Event organiser Jill Turton said the town had sold 600 competition-approved cow onesies but people were welcome to bring their own costume as long as it adhered to the rules.
''It has to be a white outfit with black spots, it's got to have a hood and it's got to have ears and they've got to have black or white shoes,'' Ms Turton said.
Ms Turton said she expected Cowaramup would smash the current record of 470 masquerading mooers, which is held by the American city of Fairfax in Virginia.
The faux-bovine will muster at the Cowaramup Town Hall at 11am on Saturday for the record attempt.

Might as well do all this before it drops… it'll get get swept under the rug shortly after. They better hope they get some holiday stocking stuffer purchases.
Why do you think it'll get swept under the rug? I could see it falling if Gucci's album blows up more than a balloon with a grenade in it. They might want to bump that release date up a week.

Sparrow 22 suppressor & Ruger 22/45
picked up one of the new ruger 22/45s with threaded barrel yesterday took it out to the range today. i also took the hammer and hammer bushing from my ruger mark 2 with me as i wanted to try it stock and then modified. fired a total of about 400 rounds today. all rounds fired were at 10 yards range
unmodified with the magazine safety in place it is difficult to properly seat the magazine and the magazines do not drop free. i had a few fail to feed in the first 50 rounds. i removed the magazine safety and the loaded chamber indicator. after removing the indicator the fail to feed did not recur. removing the mag safety cured the difficult to seat magazine issue as well as allowed the mag to drop free.
when removing the grips i found even MORE ruger warnings lol!!
while im waiting for my tax stamp the shop i purchased it from let me use my SilencerCo Sparrow 22.
the sparrow is very easy to disassemble for cleaning. no tools required. just twist the end cap and slide the outer sleave off
it has two clamshell inner sleeves that cover the baffle assembly as you can see its a very elegent design. the manual recomds cleaning every 1000 rounds.
50 rounds at 10 yds without the supressor. fired like a dream.
50 rounds with the silencer. feeding and extraction seemed much more positive and the pistol was easier to control for follow up shots with the supressor. i could fire it a bit faster with accuracy with the supressor in place than without it.
20 rounds rapid fire with the suppressor.
over all the sparrow and the 22/45 are a perfect match once the debilitating magazine safety and loaded chamber indicator is disabled. those two features, in my estimation, are real design flaws. another slight annoyance is you cant release the bolt on a full magazine without using the bolt release. just pulling the bolt to the rear wont release it.
cant wait for the tax stamp to show up so i dont have to drive to milwaukee to use it!!
What does it say to use to clean the Suppressor with?
Sweet gun. I really want one now, suppressor and all!
when i wear this one out im gonna send it back to silencerco to have it upgraded to the stainless steel innards. they came out with that a month after i got this one *sigh*
if you also happen to have 22lr AR you can slap that puppy right on the end if the barrel is threaded. just be sure to check alignment first not all AR barrels are threaded straight. a 22cal cleaning rod should go to the bolt face without hitting the suppressor or binding.
cant shoot 223/556 thru the sparrow its 22lr only. while there are rifle sized suppressor DONT shoot 22lr through a rifle one. those suppressors are typically not user cleanable and 22lr will gunk it up FAST!!
Indoors without hearing protection it sounded like a person with very big hands clapping loudly.
Very impressive shooting!
Silencerco really impressed me at SHOT with their products and their passion for their designs.
I am going through the waiting period for the BATFE right now on a Osprey .45 and it's like the 2 weeks before Christmas when I was a kid.
Most jealous of your new toy. *drools*
now i just need to find a buyer for my mark2 target pistol heh
Great looking gun, Nice shooting. Thanks for sharing.

NEWPORT County AFC top scorer Chris Zebroski believes he, Rene Howe and Christian Jolley can combine to ensure the Exiles end the season on a high.
Jolley scored his first goal since the opening day of the campaign in Saturday's 2-0 win over Wycombe Wanderers and Zebroski netted his 12th, both thanks to assists from Howe.
The win will almost certainly be enough to keep County in League Two after a torrid post-Christmas run raised fears that they could lose their hard-won Football League status.
Now Zebroski is looking forward to playing with less pressure and trying to build momentum to carry over into next season.
"It's a relief for the whole club, it really is," said the 27-year-old striker after once again scoring against one of his legion of former clubs.
"We got some stick before the game, but it's just a really nice win to get the goal in front of our own fans.
"I knew we were on top, there was that relief when we got the first goal, because that was what we needed, and then the second goal was the icing on the cake.
"We are delighted for Christian Jolley, he's worked so hard for it and he's been due a goal and deserved it.
"I was very happy with my goal," he added. "It was a good assist from Rene and I think we deserved it.
"We knew it was important we got a result but we needed the goals to give us freedom.
"It was a little bit tense and with Northampton putting a run together, a lot of teams have been sucked into the relegation conversation.
"We didn't want to be one of those teams and the win means we can relax a bit more and try and express ourselves in the rest of the season."
Next up is the Good Friday trip to face AFC Wimbledon and relishing the chance to add to his goal tally and work on the partnership with Howe and Jolley.
"Away from home, at times, we've played some nice stuff, like against Chesterfield," he said.
"We've got the three up top, with me and Christian playing off Rene and we made it hard for Wycombe on Saturday.
"We constantly kept trying to turn their defenders and push them in and hopefully we can do the same again."

text: The Rev. Ron George Jr.: Holidays on the hill January 4, 2014 Story Share Home for the holidays? There's no place like home and there's no place on earth like the hills and hollers. If you grew up there you know what I mean. It's a special place filled with special people. Why is it so different and why is it that you never feel like you're home until you come back? Your dad may have gone to Ohio or Michigan to work in the auto factories on the assembly line, or he may have had to go south for the construction work or the furniture factories in North Carolina. The fact is, many a mountaineer had to leave the hills just to survive.However, some did choose to stay and that was my Dad. He had worked in Niagara Falls on the hydroelectric plant there and worked in Cleveland and Detroit, but finally we came back home. I was born on one of Dad'sout-of-state work trips. So, I'm from Niagara Falls. Well, at least thatwas where I was born. Coming home as we did meant that times would be tough in some respects, but for the most, they were always good. We may not have had all the benefits of the cities, but we had the hills to comfort us. We didn't have professional ball teams to watch, but we had our own high school team and of course WVU and Marshall to cheer for. We did cheer for all.I'm here for good if the Lord is willing. I ain't going anywhere but torest high up on that mountain. There is no place like the mountains when it comes to Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the holidays. There is deer hunting in Pendleton county, snow, mistletoe, sleigh riding on the steel runner or car hood, standing around a fire of burning tires, snow ball fights and snow men, real Christmas trees, carolers, plays, church dinners, icicles to eat, snow days, warm nights by the fire, lots of homemade candy, gifts, Santa Claus, and Christmas morning. There was the fruit and candy we received from Santa on the fire truck and the church on that Sunday, handed out a brown paper bag filled with goodies to each of us. I got my own bag filled with candy, nuts, oranges, tangerines, apples, Juicy Fruit, and Chocolate Drops. All that pine and those lights would warm up the house with the smell and glow of the Christmas tree. It was an amazing time of the year.There was no day in the world like Christmas morning. We could hardly sleep that night because we knew Santa was on the way. We didn't really get a lot of gifts and goodies throughout the year, especially since my birthday fell on Christmas Day. It was all or nothing for me on Christmas. But I was blessed abundantly. Actually, one of my uncles was born on Christmas too. His middle name was Christmas. I kind of liked that name because it was different, but I couldn't imagine all the teasing he must've had to endure. Christmas was the day that Santa came. We got up as early as Mom and Dad would let us. Look! Santa had eaten the cookies and drank all the milk, but he left us some things under the tree, and a note too. I got a steel runner and my sister got a doll baby. One year I got a brand new BB gun and a tabletop pinball machine. I loved that gun. It was the best gift ever.Then we played and we played some more. GI Joes and Barbie dolls going out together to save the world. Christmas was all about the dream and the imagination, along with all the love and joy a family could give. We probably don't realize how good it was, until it's gone or changed. Then it's the turn of the next generation to dream and to play.Mamaw found Amy Leigh's stocking and hung it on the mantle. Wow, you can't imagine such hopping, jumping, and running from our first and only grandbaby. Even though she is only five, she can stir a Quaker meeting and raise the dead on a good day with her jumps and squeals. This was one of those days. She raised me, who was nearly across the river. What? What is it? What's the matter? It's a Christmas stocking hanging on the mantle with care. A what? Oh, ok. I see now. It's the next generation's turn to jump for joy with imagination and peace on earth.Is Christmas Day when Jesus came? Is it time for Him to come again?Matthew 24 says, Be ready for it. Ready or not, He is coming again. Beprepared. It is coming and He is coming again. He came the first time and we remember, but we also remember that He is going to come again for us all who believe. This is our hope, peace, joy, and love of Christmas. He is coming for all those who believe. Isn't it exciting? What a time to be born in a country that still believes in Christ and Christmas. In the hills, we may not have had many of the modern conveniences of others in the cities, but we always have plenty of love for God and for His only begotten Son named Jesus. Since He lives, we live. Since He came, then we know He is coming again. Joy in the hills comes from Christ, the church, and the family. He gives us love from the others who love us and care for us. Dad and Mom always made sure we had plenty on Christmas, even if it meant ordering it from Wards on credit.They always paid our bill. Jesus will give you more than you can imagine if you believe. Do you believe? He is coming back to town. He has paid your bill, so we look to Christ for our Christmas. We celebrate His birthday.Happy Birthday to King Jesus.

David Skoczulek
Director, Business Development and Community Relations,
Ambulance Service of Manchester, LLC & Aetna Ambulance Service, Inc.
Manchester, CT
Leadership is the ability to be an example for others through hard work, consistency and determination.
David Skoczulek, a transplant from Orange County to Cape Cod and finally to the Hartford area, realized that southern California's racial diversity was not the norm. He says, "I have worked in emergency medical services (EMS), in varying capacities since I was 19 years old and have seen firsthand the correlation between socioeconomic status and a lack of quality health care."
Skoczulek, a practicing paramedic since 2001, has a bachelor's degree in emergency medical services from Springfield College, and a master's in public health and graduate certificate in public financial management from the University of Connecticut. His MPH thesis focused on the use of EMS to decrease the burden on Connecticut's emergency departments. He notes, "Clearly, trends in emergency services as part of the health care safety net correlated to barriers in language and culture."
Skoczulek is committed to his community and is a member of several boards and councils as well as the Rotary Club. "I pride myself on investing my time and my heart into the nonprofits, programs and agencies for which I volunteer," he says.

Free in Vegas? Yes, there are plenty of places you can drop mega-bucks in Vegas, but there are also plenty of free attractions as well. Here are my top three picks for places where your wallet won't suffer:
1. The Lion Habitat at MGM Grand
The crowds starting gathering right when we got there as the lions were due to arrive. Sure enough, three lions and their brave keeper strolled into the glass-encased display where you can even walk under them. Part of a group of 29, a few are brought in each day from the ranch where they live. After a bath with Johnson's Baby Shampoo they are ready for their close-up.
Jan's tip: Go right at 11:00 am when the lions first appear. Apparently they spend most of the rest of the day snoozing.
2. Fountain Show at Bellagio.
Yeah, yeah, yeah – you've heard it before, but it's true. You have to see this, at least once. We caught it once in the day and once at night.
3. Stroll the streets of Venice, New York and Paris.
One of the main attractions for me in Vegas is just strolling along the fake streets and canals in The Venetian, Paris and New York, New York. Only in America would you find such faithful fakes, am I right? Don't lament that they aren't the original – just enjoy them for what they are. Isn't that the point of Vegas?

It´s more about him being new to discussion at this forum (35 posts). He wants to make a point and get some confirmation. Do you think I gave up because Rock Sexton gave me hard time (with logical reasons ofc) when I suggested that there might be Widow Bucky romance flashback. Or when we "fought" over the IG pictures and theories.
He doesn´t know exactly where the line goes or how to drop things and move on even if you disagree when he is a newbie. To have someone partly agree would probably make him move on and start talk more about other stuff.
You are treating him with what he deserves, not as newcommer, but as experienced member. Don´t get me wrong, someone must tell him to turn it down a notch but don´t get so "angry" because he does a little wrong. Suggestions and a nice approach usually does it.
You weren't here when he started.
EVERY single post of his...literally, literally every single post was an over exaggeration, regarding the lack of news. Completely unnecessary. It's all he talked about, and would disregard anyone else' valid rebuttal against it. It got wearisome, and now, that he's at it again...people have every right to be complaining

Is there anything better than a mom? Now that I have two children of my own, I feel more grateful than ever for my own mother.
I spent some time recently looking through the pictures we've taken of our girls and I noticed how rarely I appear in them – I'm almost always the one behind the camera! I need to be better about making sure other people snap pictures of me with my children, since I love looking at the photos I do have of me interacting with them.
These quotes about motherhood, some funny, some sweet, really summed up all the different kinds of love I have for my sweet little daughters:

In 2010, a study conducted by the University of Illinois at Chicago showed that over 95% of Illinois' kids had insurance coverage, making Illinois a state with one of the lowest rates of uninsured children in the nation. Much of this success can be attributed to the All Kids health insurance program, which provides for affordable, comprehensive health insurance for all Illinois children (up to age 19) who need coverage, regardless of family income or immigration status. Higher-income families pay monthly premiums ranging from $15 - $300/child, along with co-pays for doctor visits and other health care services.
Unfortunately, starting this Friday July 1st, All Kids will only allow for "some kids" to qualify for coverage. Legislation passed by the Illinois General Assembly and signed by the Governor in January places an income cap on the program at the start of July, effectively cutting off eligibility at 300% of the federal poverty level (FPL). This is equivalent to about $5,500/month or $66,000/year for a family of four.
Children enrolled in All Kids at or above 300% FPL by June 30th, 2011 are allowed to continue All Kids coverage for up to 12 months until July 1st, 2012, when NO children above 300% FPL will be allowed to continue their coverage.
While the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services estimates that fewer than 4,000 children are enrolled in All Kids above the income cap, it's likely that many of these families enrolled their children in All Kids because private insurance was unaffordable or inaccessible or because coverage options were insufficient for their child's health care needs.
So where does this leave families who will no longer be able to qualify for All Kids?
Families can pursue employer-based insurance or insurance on the individual market. The Affordable Care Act included a provision, effective September 23, 2010, that no longer allows insurance companies to deny children health insurance because of pre-existing conditions.
Some children may be eligible for the Illinois Pre-existing Condition Insurance Plan (IPXP) if they have a pre-existing condition and have been uninsured for at least six months. The Illinois Comprehensive Health Insurance Plan may also be an option for some families.
However, these options may be unaffordable or inaccessible to many families. If this is the case for you or for a family you know, the Illinois Maternal and Child Health Coalition is interested in hearing your story. These stories can help us with advocacy efforts to persuade legislators to revise the changes to All Kids in upcoming legislative sessions.

It is almost three years since Andy Murray last met Rafa Nadal, a hiatus in their rivalry that has coincided with the Scot winning Olympic gold and his first two grand slam titles.
Today, a chipper-looking Murray will get the ultimate test on clay when he takes on the Spaniard in the quarter-finals of the Rome Masters.
Their clash will be the perfect gauge of Murray's form as he heads into the French Open and on the evidence of this week, the Scot will believe he has a fighting chance.
Loading article content
"It'll be a great match for me with the French Open just around the corner because I'll see exactly where my game's at and what I need to improve," Murray said yesterday, after seeing off drop-shot king Juergen Melzer 7-6, 6-4 in a solid display.
"I haven't played him for a long time. I didn't play him at all when Ivan [Lendl] was coaching me. Both of our games will have changed in the last three years."
Amid Murray's fantastic performances in winning the London Olympics, US Open and Wimbledon, there were those who suggested his triumphs were abetted by the absence of Nadal.
The world No. 1 ruined Murray's grand slam hopes three times in succession in 2011, beating him in the semi-finals in Paris, at Wimbledon and in New York.
As Nadal recovered from injury, Murray backed up Olympic gold with victory at the US Open and doubled his grand slam tally at Wimbledon, an event where an injury-affected Nadal went out in round one. Coincidence it may be, but today's contest will be the first since Tokyo in 2011, when Murray won in three sets to reduce his head-to-head deficit to 13-5.
Clay is Nadal's domain, of course, but the good news for Murray is that he should be the far fresher of the two, having celebrated his 27th birthday yesterday with a confident victory over Melzer. The Austrian is an awkward customer and led by a break early on, using his deadly drop shot to great effect. But with the confidence of five wins out of five wins against Melzer in the past, Murray worked his way into the match. "This week I wanted to play solid tennis as much as possible and I did a pretty good job today," Murray said. "It was a lot easier to build the points and have a specific game plan. I did a decent job. There's some things I'd like to do better. It is a surface that takes me time to get used to the movement."
His own form should give him encouragement that he can do some damage against Nadal and that belief will have increased after the world No.1, seven times the champion in Rome, found himself a set and 2-0 behind to Russian Mikhail Youzhny.
Having needed well over three hours to get past Gilles Simon in round one, Nadal again made routine but uncharacteristic mistakes. As always, the fight was there and Nadal reeled off 12 of the last 13 games to win 6-7, 6-2, 6-1.
Grigor Dimitrov continues to improve, a 6-7, 6-2, 6-2 win over Tomas Berdych taking him into the last eight. But the hopes of his other half, Maria Sharapova, claiming back-to-back titles ended by a stunning display from Ana Ivanovic as the Serb won 6-1, 6-4.

The EPDM Roofing Association (ERA) announced it has marked its fifth anniversary with several key research and education projects in the coming year. The association represents the manufacturers and suppliers of EPDM single-ply roofing products for both new construction and replacement roofing projects. Member companies in the ERA include Carlisle Syntec and Firestone Building Products.
As part of its commitment to providing current and accurate data documenting the many benefits of EPDM roofing systems, ERA will conduct further work on several technical research and educational programs in 2008, including:
o An ongoing recycling research project, which so far has determined that it is logistically viable to remove EPDM from a roof and create a product from recycled membrane
o A new research project to evaluate the performance of EPDM membrane in severe weather conditions
o Support of third-party research that will confirm that ballasted roofs, using EPDM membrane, serve as a "cool roofing" alternative, matching the energy savings performance of reflective roof products
o An AIA-certified continuing education program on sustainable roof systems and garden roofs
o Ensuring that LEED, Green Globes and other environmentally conscious certification programs recognize the vital role EPDM plays in developing a roof system that meets their standards.
o Developing progressive solutions with state regulators to meet the growing desire to protect the environment while preserving design options for roofing construction.
"In 2008 we need to continue the (recycling) program," said Jim Jannasch, EPDM product manager for Firestone Building Products. "First, we'd like the industry to get access to more recycling grinders. Today the only two grinders are in Michigan and Ohio. We also need to develop new uses for the recycled product. We're doing the walking paths now, but we'd love to take that recycled material back to roofing products."
Jannasch said the next phase of the recylcing project will focus on adding more grinders, and to that end has asked that any companies that operate large grinders or have a use for ground rubber contact the ERA offices at email@example.com. To date the ERA has reported that 1.5 million sf of EPDM roofs have been recycled.

Farmers Insurance extends tournament sponsorship through 2019November 05, 2013
SAN DIEGO, CA – The PGA TOUR, Farmers Insurance and the Century Club of San Diego announced today that Farmers has extended its title sponsorship of the Farmers Insurance Open by five years, through 2019.
The new agreement will take effect following the 2014 tournament, scheduled for the week of Jan. 20-26 at Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego.
"Farmers Insurance has been a wonderful partner of the PGA TOUR and Century Club since becoming the title sponsor in 2010," said PGA TOUR Commissioner Tim Finchem. "Farmers has remained very active in its role as title sponsor as well as in its support of the Century Club's charitable initiatives through the tournament. We are extremely pleased to announce this five-year extension, which guarantees the continuation of the positive impact the Farmers Insurance Open has had throughout the San Diego area."
In 2013, the tournament generated nearly $2.5 million to San Diego charities, raising the all-time total to more than $26 million.
"On behalf of the thousands of Farmers Insurance agents, district managers and employees across the country, we are proud to partner with the PGA TOUR, the Century Club of San Diego and the city of San Diego in extending our sponsorship of the Farmers Insurance Open through 2019," said Mike Linton, Chief Marketing Officer for Farmers Insurance. "Our sponsorship enables us to continue to provide charitable support for the communities we serve."
"Farmers Insurance stepped up at a critical time in our history in 2010 to support the event and San Diego community. To be able to continue our relationship to showcase Torrey Pines and San Diego to millions of viewers worldwide while generating millions in economic and charitable impact furthers our mission," Scott Morse, President Century Club of San Diego.
Tiger Woods won the 2013 Farmers Insurance Open, the seventh time he has won the tournament and eighth time he has won at Torrey Pines, including the 2008 U.S. Open.
"I look forward to defending my title at the Farmers Insurance Open and appreciate their support of the PGA TOUR," Woods said. "Torrey Pines is part of some great memories for me. I watched the TOUR here with my pop during the old Andy Williams tournament. I was really young back then and saw Mark O'Meara and John Cook play. I appreciate all the support from the fans in San Diego. They've always been great to me."

Sin City is worried that its well-honed style is crimping its business.
Born of carefully crafted slogans — "What happens here, stays here" — and smiling, sequined showgirls, the image of a 24-hour adult Disneyland with free-flowing booze and casino chips is making the tourist destination seem radioactive to companies keen on not appearing frivolous as they seek government bailouts.
In recent weeks, at least four major companies canceled meetings worth hundreds of thousands of dollars — not because of costs, but because of appearances. Even President Obama questioned the propriety of flying off to Las Vegas if taxpayers were helping foot the bill.
Tourism officials, already nervous after watching meeting and convention attendance fall 5 percent last year, are challenging the impression that business meetings are wasteful — especially those conducted under the neon lights of Las Vegas.
"It's necessary, for us to thrive in this community, that folks come here and realize that this is not some stepchild," Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman said. "This is a very important place for people to conduct very important business."
Goodman — who often appears at functions with a showgirl on each arm — sent a letter to Obama objecting to his remarks.
"You can't get corporate jets, you can't go take a trip to Las Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on the taxpayers' dime," Obama said during a town hall meeting in Indiana.
Obama's comment came after Wells Fargo & Co. canceled a conference at two high-end Las Vegas hotels in response to a barrage of criticism from Capitol Hill.
The company, which received a $25 billion bailout, cried foul in a full-page New York Times ad and said media reports about bailed-out companies have been "deliberately misleading." The bank said it would cancel all recognition events this year.
Wells Fargo is not alone. Since the fall, companies that have taken $277 billion in federal assistance through the Troubled Asset Relief Program have faced increased scrutiny for travel practices by lawmakers and an angry public.
Roger Dow, president of the Travel Industry Association, called the growing attention paralyzing for corporate meetings and events, which represent 15 percent of all travel spending nationwide.
"We have to stop this from being epidemic," said Dow, who also said Wells Fargo should not have canceled.
Those who promote Las Vegas, the nation's top business travel destination, are quick to list reasons why it's a good place to book meetings: easy airline access; 140,000 hotel rooms; low rates; plentiful convention facilities; a wide range of dining and entertainment options.
For years, promotion has unabashedly included gambling and nightlife. On the convention authority's Web site, a section for meeting planners features photographs of showgirls, the Las Vegas Strip and a roulette wheel.
"The two are not at odds with one another," said Mayor Goodman, who also chairs the convention authority.
Robert Goldstein, senior vice president of Las Vegas Sands Corp., is annoyed that a company can't do business at a fun destination.
"We're not going to pretend all this stuff doesn't exist," Goldstein said. "Last time I checked, alcohol was prevalent in a lot of major cities, and you can go anyplace in the country if you want to see girls."
Some tourism officials don't think Las Vegas should cling to its reputation as a party town if it wants to attract image-conscious companies.
"In light of the recession, in light of everything, we absolutely have to change," said Karen Gordon, president of Activity Planners International, which assists corporate meeting planners.

By On Top Magazine Staff; Published: July 23, 2013
Comedian Daniel Whitney, known by his stage character Larry the Cable Guy, believes people should mind their own business when it comes to gay marriage.
During an interview with Larry King, Whitney, 50, said that he was a "libertarian conservative."
"Leave me alone," King said, referring to the libertarian philosophy.
"Yeah, pretty much. Mind your own business," Whitney responded. "That's one thing I can't figure out about the country lately is, why can't people mind their own business?"
"Do you care if gays play football or get married?" King asked.
"You know I'm so sick of hearing about gay this, gay that. I could care less. It ain't affecting my life at all. Yeah, it gets so irritating."
"I wish people would … I don't know when we turned in to a nation of 3-year-old babies. But everything offends everybody, everything offends. We live in the free-est, greatest country in the world. That's why there's so many people bitching about stuff, because they got it too good in this country. Those other countries, you don't hear them bitching. You know why? Because they gotta go out and try to find something to eat. That's why."
"Live your life, leave other people alone, and just enjoy your life. Enjoy being an American, it's a great country. Why you gotta complain about everything?" (The video is embedded on this page. Visit our video library for more videos.)

Mapping New Directions
De los Santos 13 likes to map things out.
Born in Santo
Domingo, Dominican Republic, De los Santos moved to Boston
at age 8, and decided by eighth grade that she would likely
attend Smith. By her junior year at the John D. OBryant
School of Mathematics and Science, her course was clear:
enroll at Smith, major in economics, and go on to law school
to practice immigration law.
For as long as she can remember,
De los Santos intended to become an attorney. But during
her sophomore year at Smith, things changed. I realized
that while I was doing well in econ, I didnt really love
it, she says. She took an inspiring class on the Caribbean,
at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, that ultimately
led to a minor in history. And a Praxis internship that summer
at a womens health center in Santa Cruz, Calif., gave De
los Santos the opportunity to work with a predominately Mexican
and Central American community, exploring the nonprofit field.
De los Santos returned to Smith
and approached Michelle Joffroy, associate professor in Spanish
and Portuguese, equipped with a list outlining her goals
and wishes for the next two years. I
had a sort of a table, she says, and she was blown away
by that. So began a student-adviser relationship that blossomed
into a mentorship as De los Santos decided on a major in
Latin American studies.
Lucia Suarez, an associate professor
of Spanish at Amherst College, also became a mentor and friend,
and De los Santos participated in a summer
research program at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
I started analyzing how the
Latino students were using activism to promote positivity
in their communities, she explains about the Chicago program. A
lot of the time when you see the news you see only the bad
things that are happening in Latin America. Because I love
history, I ask, Well,
how about thinking about all of the great things that have
been happening, such as the womens movement and childrens
Her passion for her Dominican
heritage and her identity as a Latina were a catalyst for
De los Santos to join Nosotras, Smiths Latin American association. Unity
House is a place she says she will miss in particular. Its amazing. Its homey.
Ive organized teas there for Nosotras and the last two years weve had cafecitos.
We get to talk about all kinds of things.
De los Santos looks forward
to joining the Association of Latina Alumnae of Smith (ALAS),
but she realizes that being at Smith has also made her consider
and embrace all the parts of her identity, including being
a woman of color, a U.S. citizen and a Smithie.
While De
los Santos path has meandered, there are a few constants.
One is her determination to remain involved in working with marginalized communities. I
want to give back to the community, whether its teaching, after school or working
with the immigration rights movement, she says.
As De los Santos steps up to
receive her diploma, she will be the first in her family
to graduate from college in the United States. In five years,
De los Santos sees herself with a masters
degree in Latin American studies, pursuing a doctorate and blending her interests
in history and the Caribbean.
Its going to take a long time, but Im sure Im going to be able to fulfill
all the goals Ive set for myself, she says with conviction.

Headed down to Topshop Knightsbridge last saturday morning for the personal shopper breakfast event.
Lots of yummy fruit tarts to fill in the stomach!
crowds awaiting for the spring summer 2011 presentation to start
Topshop personal shopper, Anny Lin (love her socks), presenting the key trends for this season. Apparently there were 4 key trends for this season, which were, Snake Valley, Graduation, Swedish Summer and New Age Constellation. I saw lots of transcendent and edgy prints, and plenty of fringes as well.
Tell me who doesn't love that jacket
The swedish summer look. Love the flowy chiffon materials and the see through at the back of that blouse.
More more printed skirts
This white high waisted wide leg pants has got to be my favorite so far. Obsessed.
Ginette Chittick as star guest!
Presenting two models here wearing part of the collections. Personally prefer the left look here. Love everything that she's wearing, shoes especially!! but probably not the clutch though.
Ginette Chittick has a really adorable hair I must say, and loving her colorful outfit that morning.
Thanks Topshop for the invite and the 20 percent discount offer was well used. We bought this cute printed sweater, round sunglasses and a pretty socks to pair with my heels. Would definitely come back to grab that white wide leg pants, the fitting room was crowded with people and we were rushing down to another place that afternoon. Clearer image of my outfit on the next post.. X

i wanna laugh now just by looking at her (right)
I'm telling myself right now that this should be the last time i see myself in sneakers.
Pictures that were taken recently. Exams are around the corner and i must say that i'm pretty good at organizing my time. Juggling time between studying, tuitions and still being able to take a stroll with some of the bestfriends (saturday evening is an exception i guess) and not to mention, taking pictures and blogging.
On a brighter note, I think I've started to like Singapore more and more now. Although it is a lil bit too late to say this but I see that there's no reason to hate this place (aside the kiasu-ism). Singapore is definitely a good place to live in. I think one day I might claim this place as a second home to me.

Gone fishing with Charlie Crist -- for $25 large
Gov. Charlie Crist is hosting another big money fishing fundraiser in the Keys. The event is May 15 and 16 in Key Wes and is to benefit the Republican Party of Florida.
VIP admission is $25,000, followed by $10,000 to throw a line with him. A paltry $5k won't get you on the boat, but it will get you a fish sandwich. (click image to enlarge)

For too long too many of us have stepped aside, looked the other way and allowed powerful and profit-motivated corporations to dictate to us how our environment is going to be treated, and it's not a pretty picture. —David Whitlock, pastor of Lebanon Baptist Church
FRANKFORT, Ky. — A group of Catholic nuns who successfully redirected the route of a proposed pipeline off their land are joining other religious leaders who say their faith has prompted them to oppose the ongoing project.
The Sisters of Loretto and members from Baptist, Presbyterian and Unitarian churches delivered a 36,000-signature petition to Gov. Steve Beshear's office at the Kentucky Capitol Tuesday. The group of about 50 demonstrators called on the governor to oppose the Bluegrass Pipeline project, saying the natural gas liquids transmission line is a danger to leak hazardous materials.
"For too long too many of us have stepped aside, looked the other way and allowed powerful and profit-motivated corporatons to dictate to us how our environment is going to be treated, and it's not a pretty picture," David Whitlock, pastor of Lebanon Baptist Church, said on the steps of the capitol.
Whitlock said the pipeline would desecrate "God's land" and protesting the project is "the responsibility God has given us."
Opponents of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, a method used to extract natural gas, have also taken aim at the pipeline, which would carry material from fracking sites in the Northeast through Kentucky and on to the Gulf of Mexico. The online petition included signatures from people around the country, organizers said.
Fracking involves extracting oil and gas from rock by injecting high-pressure mixtures of water, sand or gravel and chemicals. Opponents say it causes groundwater contamination and other environmental problems.
The companies building the pipeline began about a month ago securing easements along the project's proposed path through 14 counties in northern and central Kentucky.
About 50 miles of the projected 180-mile path in Kentucky have been secured through deals with private landowners, said Tom Droege, a spokesman with Tulsa-based Williams Co., one of the companies building the pipeline. The company is expecting to spend $30 million to $50 million on the 50-foot wide easement purchases in Kentucky.
The sisters, who live on a 780-acre tract in Marion County, refused to speak with project surveyors in July when they visited the Loretto Motherhouse. Pipeline officials later said they would seek a route north of the sisters' land, and would also steer clear of land owned by the Abbey of Gethsemani, the home of a group of Catholic monks in Nelson County.
Susan Classen, a co-member of the Loretto community, said the sisters would continue to fight the project even though it won't affect their land.
"This is not just about us, it's about everyone and the land all over Kentucky," Classen said.
After a round of brief speeches on the capitol steps, the demonstrators went inside to deliver the petition to a staffer in the governor's office. The petition was organized by a group called Faithful America, and its website references the Sisters of Loretto, saying "the fracking industry messed with the wrong nuns."
Beshear did not appear during the protest, but said in a statement that his office is "monitoring this issue very closely."
"If we find that there is a need for state government to take action to increase protections for our landowners and for the protection of our environment, we will have adequate time to do so in the regular (General Assembly) session that begins in January," Beshear said.
The pipeline company is also currently securing easements for a route through Ohio.
The material carried by the pipeline would be a liquid byproduct of the natural gas refining process that is used to make plastics, medical supplies and carpet, among other products. The liquids contain flammable substances including propane, butane and ethane.

Are dental blocks safe or are there any bad side effects?
Dental Blocks Caution?
Doctor Answers 2
Dental blocks are usually very safe
Dental blocks are usually very safe.
Occasionally adverse reactions can occur and may be the result of injection directly into the vessels or nerves, allergy, inadequate block, bruiising, swelling or poor understanding of the technique or anatomy.
Dental blocks: Safe or Not?
Dental blocks are very safe, if performed by a physician who is familiar with the anatomy of the nerves and technique. The paired sensory nerves, which innervate the upper lip and lateral nose are called the infraaorbital nerves. The paired nerves, which innervate the lower lip are called the mental nerves. There is a midline nerve, which supplies the middle part of the upper lip called the infraciliary nerve. These nerves are routinely blocked, either through the gums or through the skin, using local anesthetic and a fine needle.
Some patients claim to be "allergic" to Epinephrine, which is often combined in the local anesthetic. They remember feeling jittery, nervous and having a headache. These effects can result from the inadvertent injection of the local anesthetic into a mucosal vessel. An experienced injector who proposes dental blocks for injectable fillers around the mouth and lips, will know how to avoid these undesired side effects and if they do occur, how to manage them. Just select your injector well.
These answers are for educational purposes and should not be relied upon as a substitute for medical advice you may receive from your physician. If you have a medical emergency, please call 911. These answers do not constitute or initiate a patient/doctor relationship.

Discussion in 'Miscellaneous Flag Discussion' started by EmailPoster, Jun 6, 2006.
Your website states:...
Good question, and I don't actually have a reference for the answer. I would guess, however, that in time of war you would only be permitted to display the flag or flags of the nation or nation the United States (or any other nation, for that matter) was fighting against on a lower flag pole.
It's always appropriate to have all the flags on the same sized poles, and I can't imagine it happens regularly that one nation is slighted because they are at war with another. I'm thinking for example of the flags at the United Nations; they certainly aren't going to make one flag pole shorter or keep from raising one flag all the way to the top just because some nations are at war.
Even if you don't get into the argument about what defines a war--any armed conflict? a formal declaration? does the "war on terror" count?--it seems to me like it's just good manners and won't get you in trouble if you keep all the national flags flying on the same sized poles, no matter who is fighting whom.

General Motors Company is considering pulling their sponsorship from Penn State University due to the Jerry Sandusky child abuse scandal. GM spokesperson Tom Henderson said that the automotive company is considering it right now, but did not mention if or when a decision will be made.
GM's regional offices are the ones that decide the sponsorships for college team events. Former longtime Penn State football coach Joe Paterno covered up allegations that former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky sexually abused children according to a report by former FBI director Louis Freeh.
The NCAA fined Penn State $60 million and issued a four year bowl ban. State Farm insurance said earlier this week that they would no longer air advertisements during Penn State's home football games, but will still air ads at their away games. Sandusky was found guilty on 45 charges of child-sex abuse last month.
