Kneeland said Nov. 11 that attendance was about 1,850, but the final numbers were not yet available, and 212 companies exhibited.
For comparison, the New England conference had about 750 attendees and 230 booths this year.
Next year, Kneeland said the council plans to expand the number of booths by 50% to more than 300, and hold it about the same time of year in the New York Hilton, same as this year.
If the produce industry suffers from âmeeting fatigueâ it wasnât evident in New York.

Kurt Zuhlke, president and chief executive officer of Kurt Zuhlke & Associates Inc., Bangor, Pa., shows the companyâs new 24-ounce clamshell designed for tomatoes-on-the-vine. The clamshell is made with recycled PETE plastic and recyclable, he said Nov. 10 at the New York Produce Show and Conference in New York.
âEvery new show leads to business for us and becomes worthwhile,â said Paul Mastronardi, executive vice president of Mastronardi Produce, Kingsville, Ontario. âThis is a unique area where so many buyers from smaller stores donât make the PMA or United Fresh (expos).â
âThese regional shows are becoming more and more important,â said Matt Seeley, vice president of marketing and brand management for The Nunes Co. Inc., Salinas.
Kneeland said the EPC allows qualified buyers to attend the show without paying for registration, which he said it expects to continue for upcoming conferences.
Danâl Mackey Almy, president of DMA Solutions, Irving, Texas, said she worked with the council to bring in more than 30 from the consumer media in the New York area. She said the goal was to reach âinfluencersâ in the media and show them how unique the produce industry is.
She hosted a lunch Nov. 10 and gave tours through the expo.
âSome of them were blown awayâ by the people in the industry, Mackey Almy said. âThey associated produce with big ag, but then they see who we really are in the industry.â

A previous analysis of stroke prevalence rates in the United States from 1999 to 2004 revealed that women in their midlife years were more than twice as likely as men of similar age to report having had a stroke, said Amytis Towfighi, an assistant professor in the Department of Neurology at the Keck School of Medicine of USC.
To determine if this was a new phenomenon and to explore the potential contributions of vascular risk factors to stroke prevalence rates, researchers analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Surveys 1988-1994 (NHANES III) and 1999-2004.
Researchers found that while 1.79 percent of women ages 35 to 54 who participated in NHANES reported having stroke, only 0.63 percent of women the same ages who participated in the earlier survey (NHANES III) reported stroke.
The analysis compared medical history variables (including smoking, diabetes mellitus, heart attack, high blood pressure), medication usage and clinical markers among women in NHANES III and 1999-2004.
Clinical markers evaluated included waist circumference, body mass index (BMI), total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), also known as bad cholesterol, and blood pressure.
"We did not find significant differences in presence of conventional cardiovascular risk factors, such as blood pressure, total cholesterol, LDL, smoking, heart disease, high blood pressure or diabetes, when we compared the two groups," said Towfighi, lead author of the study.
Instead, women in the more recent survey were more likely to be using medications to control blood pressure and cholesterol. In fact, 14.8 percent of women in NHANES 1999-2004 reported using medications to lower blood pressure, compared to 8.9 percent in the earlier survey. Nearly 4 percent of women in NHANES 1999-2004 used medications to lower cholesterol, versus 1.4 percent in NHANES III.
"Women in NHANES 1999-2004 were significantly more obese than women a decade prior, with an average BMI of 28.67 kg/m2 versus 27.11 kg/m2 the decade prior," Towfighi said. Body mass index of 25.0 to 30.0 is considered overweight, while an index of 30.1 or more is considered obese.
"In addition, women in NHANES 1999-2004 had an average waist circumference of nearly 4 centimeters more than women in the earlier study," Towfighi said. Women in NHANES 1999-2004 also had higher average glycated hemoglobin (an indicator of poor blood sugar control).
The researchers concluded that although key traditional risk factors, such as high blood pressure, may not be higher today than in the 1990s, obesity and blood sugar markers are on the increase.
"Abdominal obesity is a known predictor of stroke in women and may be a key factor in the midlife stroke surge in women," Towfighi said. "This study highlights the need to intensify efforts in curbing the obesity epidemic in the United States."
UCLA researchers Rita Engelhardt and Bruce Ovbiagele were co-authors of the study.

Asking for lots of thoughts and prayers as my husbands cousin who is currently 31 weeks was just transferred to one of our more advanced neonatal hospitals. This is her first pregnancy. She has been on bed rest with preeclampsia for about a month now, her dr performed a stress test in his office today and the baby's HB dropped multiple times, they admitted her to our local hospital and found out that the umbilical cord pressure was twice the normal rate, so they sent her downstate. Both her and peanut are under severe stress right now, and she may end up delivering tonight, if they cant get her and baby to a comfortable state for a few more weeks. ♥
In my prayers, if the baby is born now, he/she will be fine, probably a bit tiny, but has an extremely high rate of survival at 31 weeks. My daughter was born at 27 weeks.

Root Canals
Is a root canal necessary for me?
I have had the build up for a crown. My dentist suggests that I have a root canal on this tooth, that does not have any current problems, prophylactically. Does it seem reasonable to do an unnecessary root canal, prior to a crown, because the root may become infected at a later date and be more expensive to treat?
I cannot say why the root canal was suggested in your case. There may be reasons particular to your tooth (i.e, large filling, close to the nerve, cracks, etc.) that would put your tooth at risk of needing a root canal. The advantage of having a root canal done prior to a crown is that if the root canal needs to be done later, they will need to drill a hole through the top of your new crown.
Whether or not the root canal is necessary and whether it should be done before the crown, is a discussion for you to have with your dentist or endodontist who knows the specifics of your particular case. If you still have concerns, you may seek out a second opinion which would include an examination.

Dynamic Duo: Hamilton's One-Two Punch on the Track & Field
Sat, 05 Jul 2014 03:20:00 GMT —
Not many kids have the mindframe that Hamilton's Bryce Wilson and Andy Bird are blessed with. They are extremely dedicated to their craft and love each and every second of it.
A pair of young track and field stars from Hamilton have been making some noise in their young careers. Bryce Wilson and Andy Bird eat, sleep and breathe the sport they love, pushing each other every day to get better and succeed. What makes it so special for them is the brotherly bond of two best friends.
Andy Bird: "Not a whole lot of kids want to do track and me and Bryce have always wanted to be good at track especially him this year and especially me in the last couple of years."
Bryce Wilson: "It's extremely cool. It seems like we're the best there is around here, you know? We've been competing good and getting those wins for our school. We got to all these tracks meets together, it's a one-two punch."
A perfect way to put it. The dynamic duo has been remarkable this summer. Wilson, only entering his eight grade year at Hamilton needs to buy a bookcase to start collecting his medals. Both will be on their way to the AAU Junior Olympics in Des Moines at the end of the month. Wilson will compete in the 100 and 200 meter dash along with the long jump. Bird, entering his freshman season, earned his way through the shot-put.
Wilson: "I want to see how good this competition is. Because you know what, there's going to be a lot of kids like me who are real fast. And it's going to be fun to run against them. It's a great feeling to be beating all these older guys. Being 1A, a little small school and beating all these older guys."
Bird: "Right now, me and Bryce are working on a lot of form. Getting our form down and keeping it that way. Like, with me in shot-put I have to spin, I have to work on my footwork, where my feet land, how I release it. With Bryce, he always struggles with the blocks and he's getting a lot better at it. So right now up until then, up until about a week left we're working real hard on form, staying in shape and getting in the weightroom."
Wilson: "In the afternoon we do two miles and sprint workouts and he does a little bit of a shot. We help each other out, tell each other what we're doing wrong and in the afternoon we go out and run two miles together at the end of the day. Six miles a day."
Bird: "I want to set an example for other kids because you don't see a lot of other kids in the weightroom. You see a lot of high schoolers that are already in high school, juniors or sophomores. But you don't see a lot of eighth graders. There's only like three or four of us that go there consistently. Bryce is out here everyday working with me or without me whenever I can be there. He's running extra, he's doing extra stuff to make sure he's prepared for high school and for this Junior Olympics in Des Moines."
Both have lofty expectations for Des Moines as well as their future. And at the top of that list, making their parents and community proud of all their hard work.
Bird: "It's a good feeling when you win a track meet or you get second and do really good to know that you're wearing the Hamilton singlet, jersey and that you represented your school well."
Wilson: "My parents are always going to my meets and stuff, My grandparents, Randy and Mona, they always go to my stuff. My Aunt, she always cheers me on. My cousin, Dalton Hayes, they are always there for me."
Bird: "We just feed off each other in a way that when one person succeeds we want to succeed with them. When we go back to say from DeKalb to Hamilton, we can say we it. And we continue our hardwork for the Junior Olympics and for his upcoming eighth grade track year and my freshman year."
Wilson: "We're just going to act like it's one of these track meets. We're all alone, just worry about ourselves and worry about how good we can do."

Mazon is a cross between J Cole and Young Lupe Fiasco, if they grew up in Harrisburg, PA in the 90's.
"It's no longer a question of if I'm going to make it, but when."
For 23-year old emcee/producer/songwriter Mazon, every studio session, song written and show performed is one closer to making his music not only a hometown name but a household favorite.
Ranking among some of the hardest working unsigned artist in the game right now, with spot dates on the Van Warped Tour '11 and recently as a guest on Shade 45 (Sirius-XM Radio) Sway in The Morning "Put Him In The Game." It's apparent that the Harrisburg native, exudes a confidence that's audible in his music and visible in stage presence. As a storyteller, reverencing hip-hop, Mazon uses his music to inspire others or move them to change.
Mazon's music mirrors a hustle and hunger for better. A better hip-hop, a better community for his people and a better life for himself. Since picking up a pen and pad in 2001, Mazon's body of work epitomizes his life and the life of anyone who was never handed anything and had to work twice as hard to claim the title of success.

Taking down the "Great Satan": Every February in Tehran, Iran hosts an international conference titled "A World Without America"
Having started his first presidential term in 2009 by offering "a hand of friendship" to the Islamic Republic in Iran, President Barack Obama has begun his second term by renewing his invitation for direct talks with the leadership in Tehran. In a variation on the same theme, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has described Iran as "the toughest problem" facing American foreign policy today. And, yet, she too has pinned her hopes on a "diplomatic solution" before the March 2013 deadline set by Obama.
Both Obama and Clinton, who is retiring as Secretary of State, would do well to read James Buchan's insightful new book Days of God: The Revolution in Iran and Its Consequences (John Murray, £25). Buchan, who lived in Iran in the 1970s and has followed developments there for the past 40 years, has a much broader compass than Iran's relations with the United States and the 20-year dispute over alleged Iranian intentions to build a nuclear arsenal. But when it comes to the thorny issue of reaching a compromise with Iran on virtually any major issue, Buchan has grave reservations about the rose-tinted spectacles of American diplomacy under Obama. "History has shown," Buchan writes, "how on four occasions (since 1940) Iran persisted with a weak hand long after it should have folded. Iran's intransigence revealed not strength but weakness and, each time, it underestimated the bloody-mindedness of its adversaries."
According to Buchan, Iran, under the Khomeinist regime, holds one of the weakest hands it has had in its recent history and yet is adamant in playing it by rejecting all compromise. He writes: "Contemptuous of diplomacy, the Islamic Republic is now incapable of it." On two of the occasions that Buchan studies in some detail, the impasse created by Iranian intransigence ended with regime change in Tehran. On two other occasions, the Iranian leadership was forced to accept a dramatic change of course, in effect tactically surrendering to foreign diktat in order to save their regime.
Buchan shuns speculation on how the current standoff over Iran's nuclear ambitions and its campaign to "wipe Israel off the map" might end. But the mindset he describes, with a degree of understanding rare among Western commentators on Iranian affairs, tends to exclude a genuine change of course by Iran's current leadership. At best, Iran might enter a new set of negotiations to buy time and avoid tougher punishment, including possible military action by the United States and/or Israel. The mindset that Buchan describes is that of a decision-making elite of clerics, military and intelligence officers and technocrats drunk on an intoxicating mix of Shia messianic mumbo-jumbo, pseudo-Marxism and what many call pan-Islamist fascism.

Economic Recovery Is Weakest since World War II
August 20, 2012
America is slowly recovering from a hard-hitting recession that ended three years ago. Since World War II, 10 U.S. recessions have been followed by recoveries that lasted at least three years. However, the current economic recovery has been the slowest compared to all the other cases of post-recession growth. In fact, economic growth has never been weaker in postwar recovery, consumer spending has been slack and only once has job growth been slower, says the Associated Press.
The data show just how feeble growth has been since the end of the recession.
- America's gross domestic product grew 6.8 percent in the first three years after a postwar economy, compared to 15.5 percent in the eight other cases analyzed.
- Investment in housing, which grew an average of 34 percent in other cases of postwar recovery, has only grown 8 percent in the past three years.
The poor growth has also directly affected consumers and job-seekers.
- Consumer spending has grown 6.5 percent three years into recovery compared to the average growth of 14 percent in other instances of postwar recovery.
- Additionally, the current economy has created about 4 million jobs -- about 46 percent of jobs lost due to the recession. In the previous eight recoveries, the economy gained an average of 350 percent of jobs lost.
- Wages have also fallen 0.8 percent in this recovery compared to the average 1.5 percent increase in previous cases.
- The money Americans earn from interest payments fell from $1.4 trillion in 2008 to $1 trillion last year, a drop of 27 percent.

Polish P64
I was at a LGS and I was checking out a surplus Polish P64 in 9mm Makarov. I didn't know much about them so I checked out a few reviews on youtube all seemed positive. Does anyone have any experience with them and would they recommend me going back and picking it up? $200 with holster and extra mag.
Love the 9x18 Mac :cool:
Not a bad price. Nice little shooter, but for the money, I prefer the CZ82.
I bought one from JG Sales several years ago when they were under $200. The one I bought was in pristine condition and looked like it might have never seen any firing. They are good, solid guns for work and/or utility purposes. The DA trigger pull is very stiff, but can be helped with a Wolfe spring kit. The thin profile frame and 9x18 round create for a nasty recoiling little gun. A stiffer recoil spring can help, but 100 is about the most you'll want to shoot at one time. They will give the web of your hand a beating. I keep mine in the console of my truck and shoot it to keep proficient. I do NOT take it to the range for fun shooting though. It just depends on what you plan on using the gun for.
Thanks guys I think I'm going to pick it up tomorrow after work as they are closed Mondays. (Hope it's still there)
Sounds good. Be sure to post some pictures after you get it home! There is also a forum strictly dedicated to the P-64. Lots of good guys with tons of technical knowledge. If you can't find an answer to a question in other places first, give them a try over there. I was active over there back when I first bought mine, but I've since let that fizzle out.
Thanks for the heads up on the P64 forum and I'll post a pic tomorrow evening.
Very good pistol from the Eastern Bloc. Picked up one for a friend a while back, pristine and looked unfired also. He loves his. For a budget priced pistol, they are good buys. They're not as smooth or refined as the PPK it's designed after, but a reliable and rugged weapon none the less. Most of the Makarov calibered pistols are getting in short supply now, I'm told.
How similar in design and function are these pistols to the FEG pistols they resemble?
1 Attachment(s)
For the money and round it's a great gun and, following everything everyone said about it already I'll add that the recoil I do not mind but the stock DOUBLE ACTION trigger pull needs the Wolfe spring. Additionaly, they are surprisingly accurate (despite my having to "pinky" the diminutive gun) -- I was amazed the first time I took it to the range. I effectively stopped using my oversized, overweight, "I don't care what happens to it" Makarov for the P-64.
Think of it in the family of ComBlock military copies; in this case of the Walther PPK to the Makarov's being an obvious cheap copy of a Walther PP. Load it with some Buffalo Bore and you have an exceptional defense/carry arm -- different doctrine I know, but how the Polish Army ever figured it was the right design for their standard military sidearm I'll never quite figure. I'm just glad they did, and that Reagan won The Cold War...

COLUMBUS, Ohio - President Barack Obama enters the final hours of the 2012 campaign with an edge in the hunt for the 270 electoral votes needed to win and more ways to reach that magic number. Yet the race is remarkably close in at least six states that could go either way, giving Republican Mitt Romney hope that he can pull off a come-from-behind victory.
If the election were held now, an Associated Press analysis found that Obama would be all but assured of 249 votes, by carrying 20 states that are solidly Democratic or leaning his way - Iowa, Nevada and Pennsylvania among them - and the District of Columbia. Romney would lay claim to 206, from probable victories in 24 states that are strong Republican turf or tilt toward the GOP, including North Carolina.
Up for grabs are 83 electoral votes spread across Colorado, Florida, Ohio, New Hampshire, Virginia and Wisconsin. Of those, Republicans and Democrats alike say Obama seems in a bit better shape than Romney in Ohio and Wisconsin, while Romney appears to be performing slightly better than Obama or has pulled even in Florida and Virginia.
The AP's analysis is not meant to be predictive, but instead to provide a snapshot of a race that has been extraordinarily close from the outset. The analysis is based on interviews with more than a dozen Republican and Democratic strategists in Washington and in the most contested states; public polls; internal campaign surveys; early vote figures; spending on television advertising; candidate travel; and get-out-the-vote organizations.
Both Republicans and Democrats say Tuesday's election has tightened across the board the homestretch. Many factors are adding to the uncertainty, including early vote tallies, Election Day turnout and the impact of Superstorm Sandy in the East. There's no telling the impact of Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson, who's on the ballot in 48 states, including all the battlegrounds, or Virgil Goode, an ex-congressman from Virginia who's running on the Constitution Party ticket.

AVMA endorses military working dog monument
WASHINGTON — The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) threw its support to the construction of a new national monument that will recognize the contributions made by military working dogs to our nation's security.
The AVMA Executive Board endorsed the Military Working Dog Teams National Monument at a recent meeting. The monument will be located on a 5,000-square-foot lot on the ground of the new national Museum of the United States Army in Fort Belvoir, Va., 25 minutes from the nation's capitol. The National Monument for Military Working Dog Teams is overseeing the project, slated to open in Fall 2013. The project has been in the works since October 2009.
The monument will portray a military dog handler with the four primary working dog breeds used in military operations—a Doberman Pinscher, a German Shepherd, a Labrador Retriever and a Belgian Malinois.

Old Wounds and New Oil
Charles Payne
1/2/2013 12:01:00 AM - Charles Payne
It was all about peace on earth and goodwill to all men last week. Today it's about oil, nationalism and long-term beefs.
The Self Defense Force of Japan was forced recently to scramble an F-15 in response to China flying a cargo plane over disputed islands at the center of a brewing conflict. Thus far the saber rattling has been confined to economic boycotts and some physical violence aimed at Japanese workers living in China. But this thing is heating up to the point where neither side will be able to back down and save face at the same time. Moreover, neither side wants to give up what could be a mother lode of fossil fuel.
Recently it was discovered there could be a lot of oil in the region and these islands (called Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China) are just one area of dispute.
While Americans are being sold a pipedream instead of actually building pipelines the rest of the world continues to scramble for fossil fuels. I always say those countries that control vast amounts of food and fuel will be dominant players in the global economy for the next thirty years - and I'm not talking solar panels or windmills. China knows this and I suspect even our current administration understands this despite the fairy tales and wasted taxpayer dollars on projects that are too early or too useless.
In the meantime, what's brewing in Asia could make the Middle East conflict look like kids in a sandbox.
According to US estimates there are 28 billion barrels of oil in the South China Sea. According to Chinese estimates there are 213 billion barrels of oil in the South China Sea. Some experts think both estimates are woefully low. So while America lurches toward a trade war centered over slowing the importation of glass panels, China has developed global deals in all corners of the planet to suck up as much oil and natural gas as possible but probably needs more to displace America as the most powerful nation in the world.
The dispute with Japan is just one of many. Things have gotten so problematic recently that a high ranking politician in the Philippines said his nation approved of Japan ditching its pacifist constitution and rearming itself. For those that may not know or remember, Japan committed some of the worst war crimes in history against the people (especially women) of the Philippines and other nations in the Pacific during WWII. Yet today the concern is over an "imperial China."
China Wants These Islands and More:
• Spartly from Vietnam
• Paracel from Vietnam
• Huangyan from Philippines
• Diaoyu from Japan
Honest Abe
The Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of their nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes. - Article 9
The Japanese Constitution was amended on May 3, 1947 to prohibit acts of war by the state. Accordingly, the nation cannot maintain an army, navy or air force. Of course, the nation does have weapons and ships under its extended police force but nothing like the kind of military characteristic of the nation throughout time. That is probably going to change in a hurry. A couple of weeks ago Shinzo Abe was elected back into office in one of the biggest landslide elections in Japanese history.
When Abe won back in 2006 he promised a "more confident country brimming with attractiveness and vigor" and to ditch article 9. This time he has promised the same and more. He has already visited the Yasukuni Shrine which the international community, led by China, denounces as a shrine for WWII war criminals. Abe has also promised to manhandle the Bank of Japan, forcing them to print more money in an effort to pull the nation out of a two-decade long struggle that has seen prices drift to the same or even lower levels.
Yes, Ben Bernanke eat your heart out, this guy says put the pedal to the metal and let's inflate our way out of this hole.
Ironically, this morning I would rather focus on the saber rattling. You see, Japan is in a crisis that historically has brought about nationalism and war. Debt to GDP is over 200% and half the young men are considered "grass-eaters" who would rather go to the beauty salon than the gym, have no interest in working long hours and are not even that much into girls. The country is in its fifth recession in the past 15 years. Talk about living off the past. Nobody talks about Japan ruling the world economically or otherwise.
That is, nobody talked about it until Abe won 325 of 480 seats in the lower house of the Diet.
Sequester and Military Spending
How often have you heard someone, especially some liberal comic, remark America doesn't need all those military bases all over the world. It actually sounds logical but for a few key points. First, in an all-volunteer military the allure of being stationed overseas is a great recruiting tool. I had a blast in North Dakota but believe it or not it wasn't on my wish list of places to be stationed. But there is an even more pressing issue. If we close bases in and around Japan and Germany both nations will have cause to ditch their pacifist Constitutions or those parts forced upon them in defeat.
Right now there doesn't appear to be a threat from Germany, which hasn't made a lot of noise about its article 24 but make no mistake there would be a movement for greater self-reliance and military might should America pull out. War economies generally have an amazing ability to jump-start stalled gears of commerce. After a series of mistakes America finally pulled out of the Great Depression after being pulled into WWII. This must look attractive to Japan and could get it brimming with confidence once more. It might even get some of those grass-eaters to stop playing with their smart phones and pick up some weights.
President Obama left his Hawaiian vacation early to deal with our fiscal cliff drama. If nothing is done we'll begin massive cuts to military spending along with crushing tax hikes. For those that think the former is no big deal - think again. A set of dominos could be ready to go off that could see a fresh arms race with deep-pocketed nations. The Japanese promised to never get belligerent again by starting a war or armed conflict, but Shinzo Abe was elected on a platform of pure belligerency.
I guess one could say the same for President Obama whose war on success moves into another level over the next four years. But, just how far is the administration willing to implement a socialist agenda in an era of greater global competition in economics that's not too far off militarily as well? The conservative party in Japan is making no bones about it - they have a game plan and determination to bring a 20 year slide to a halt. Conservatives in the US House of Representatives are also making no bones about it - they have drawn a line against higher taxes.
The showdown in America, like the turmoil in the Middle East, may one day pale in comparison to the war in Asia.
I know, I know it's a long ways off and may never happen. Just like we have room to build even higher piles of debt, slow economic growth and live with subpar educational standards. We have all the time in the world, except with it comes to stopping the cooling of the planet. I get that as the general message from the White House. The thing is the world is moving faster than we think and we could be closer to a point of no return sooner rather than later.
There are more consequences than advertised by massively cutting our defense budget and capabilities. The media isn't talking about it which makes it even more dangerous.
Peace on earth and goodwill toward men… that was yesterday, today it's about old wounds and new oil.

|I'm new. I just moved here from Africa.
|Cady Heron
|Appeared in
|Mean Girls
|Betsy Heron
Chip Heron
|Portrayed by
|Lindsay Lohan
Cady is a student at North Shore High School who moved to Evanston after living her last 12 years in Africa. Her parents are Chip and Betsy Heron, who are research zoologists. She is initiated into the Plastics early in the movie, having a plan to ruin Regina George's life.
Early Life
Cady grew up in Africa, with her mother home schooling her. She loved animals and nature. A picture is seen by Aaron Samuels of Cady when she was a little girl on an Asian elephant. Cady's first love was Nfume, but he ended up not liking her back. She claims to have had a lot of friends back in Africa, which is not the case in Evanston.
Mean GirlsDuring Cady's first day of school, she was considered an outcast and ate her lunch in a bathroom stall. The second day of school, Damian Leigh and Janis Ian befriend her. At lunch, Jason, a skeez, tries to scam on her and Regina George came to her aid. This begins her friendship with The Plastics. Janis wants to use this friendship for revenge on Regina, but Cady thinks Regina is sweet and will not do wrong. Janis presented Cady with a hand drawn Map to North Shore High School.
At Chris Eisel's Halloween Party Regina takes back her ex-boyfriend, the love interest of Cady, Aaron Samuels. The two of them were canoodling in front of Cady, causing her enragement. Cady would then agree to the plans from Janis to mess-up Regina's life.
Cady got sucked into girl world. She wrote in the Burn Book a lie about Ms. Norbury, that she made up. After Regina's technically good physique was ruined, she was not allowed to sit with them. Then Cady became the new Queen Bee. Gretchen Wieners and Karen Smith pry Cady into having a small get-together.
Cady tried to seduce Aaron, telling him that she pretended to be bad at math in order to get closer to him, but threw-up on him after she couldn't control the word vomit after Aaron told her she was like a clone of Regina. Regina saw this and then later was told the truth about Kälteen Bars by Shane Oman. At this point Regina knew Cady was sabotaging her and decided to take-down the remaining 3 Plastics.
Cady took the sole blame for writing the Burn Book. She wins Spring Fling Queen and elects to break and share the plastic crown.
After that redemption she becomes what she calls an Actual Human Being. By the start of her senior year she is dating Aaron Samuels. Aaron was now attending Northwestern University. They see each other on weekends.
Physical Appearance
Cady is a gorgeous young teenage girl, standing somewhere around 5'4 and 5'5. Her most notable feature has to be her bright red hair. Along with that, Cady has a rather pale skin complexion, green eyes and even some freckles on her cheeks.
|I know it may look like I was being like a bitch, but that's only because I was acting like a bitch.
|Calling somebody else fat won't make you any skinnier. Calling someone stupid doesn't make you any smarter. And ruining Regina George's life definitely didn't make me any happier. All you can do in life is try to solve the problem in front of you.
|It's Cady.
|You're not stupid, Karen.
|It's October 3rd.
|Yeah, I like math. And food
|I don't know, I mean, she's so weird, she just, you know, came up to me and started talking to me about crack.

Speaking in New York, Mr Hockey was forced to allay a growing perception among US investors that there is a risky property bubble forming off the back of record-low Reserve Bank of Australia interest rates.
"Australia is a long way from a housing bubble," he said in an interview with CNBC.
His comments came ahead of a new report from property forecasters BIS Shrapnel, which said Sydney house prices will surge 19 per cent over the next three years,
Melbourne prices will rise by 6 per cent due to an oversupply of inner city apartments, while Perth will jump 17 per cent and Brisbane will gain by 16 per cent, according to BIS.
The prospect of annual price gains that outpace wages growth has intensified debate about the sustainability of recent gains – with national prices up 5.8 per cent over the 12 months to mid-September.
The Reserve Bank on Tuesday reiterated its position that the property market remains benign, saying the value of homes relative to incomes is below the level of most of the past decade.
Reserve Bank data shows the value of homes is around four times household disposable incomes.
Still, the bank acknowledged in its minutes on Tuesday that auction clearance rates are well above average and turnover is rising.
Australian market different
Mr Hockey said many commentators in the US did not understand Australia's housing market.
"The fact is we have a very generous immigration program and we have very slow supply coming in the market," he said.
"Rising house prices in Australia help to make some of the more marginal new housing developments affordable, realistic and deliverable.
"In turn, that increase in supply helps to manage the market."
Mr Hockey emphasised the value of superannuation holdings of many Australians exceeds the equity they have in their homes.
"The third fact is a lot of Australians put a lot of new capital into their homes, renovate their homes and upgrade their homes.
"We have the largest homes, on average, perhaps in the western world and the world more generally in size. It is a very different asset class in Australia to that in other jurisdictions."
The Australian Financial Review reported last month that London-based hedge funds were betting against the Australian property market by shorting the shares of the major banks.
Housing finance data shows loans – to buyers other than first-home buyers – are growing fast.
Safety of landlord status
Spring Financial Group's Keith Cullen said self-funded retirees who were spooked by the fall in equities prices during the global financial crisis are showing interest in buying real estate as an alternative.
"The low interest rate environment . . . and the uncertainty and volatility over the last few years of the sharemarket has probably seen people retreat to the relative safety of that landlord status," Mr Cullen said.
"We are actually seeing lots of self-funded retirees with reasonable amounts of capital convert it into buying properties outright and . . . feeling comfortable they are going to be collecting rent forever and their bricks and mortar will always be there."
BIS Shrapnel said in its report that investor demand is accelerating because of improved rental yields, lower interest rates and the return of capital price gains.
"Interest rate policy is expected to eventually begin to be tightened through the [three year] forecast period, with price growth in most markets beginning to slow by 2015-16," it said.

There generally isn't much difference between printers in the amount of ink that is put down on the paper per unit area. You can get a good estimate of ink costs by finding out the capacity of the ink cartridges for each printer and dividing that into the price of a cartridge; that will give you dollars per millilitre. It isn't exact, because there can be substantial differences in the amount of ink different printers waste doing warm up and cleaning cycles.
Extra colors and extra shades of the same color are quality considerations. There are reasons why higher end, wider format printers use 8, 10, or even 12 inks. Extra colors extend the gamut of the printer – with more colors a printer can more accurately reproduce your images. Different shades of the same color make for smoother graduations in the print – less chance of posterization.
IMHO if you are only going to use the scanning facility for documents and as a copier, then you would be better getting an inexpensive all-in-one, and using the difference in price towards a real dedicated photo printer.

Tyson eyes Hampden bout
Heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson's next fight is being lined up for Glasgow.
BBC Scotland understands negotiations are now at an advanced stage for Tyson's bout against American Lou Savarese to be staged at the revamped Hampden Park on 24 June.
The final contract details still have to be agreed on what will be another massive night for UK boxing, following Tyson's controversial last visit to the UK in January.
Tickets for that fight in Manchester, which Tyson won easily, sold out within two days and there would be a similiar rush for the Hampden event.
One of the obstacles to the fight going ahead is the granting of a licence from Glasgow City Council.
No approach
This normally takes between eight and ten weeks to be processed by the Protective Services Department.
BBC Scotland understands the council has not yet been approached, with the scheduled date for the fight only six weeks away.
Representatives from Frank Warren's Sports Network company travelled to Glasgow earlier this year, with a view to staging Tyson's next fight at the national stadium.
The future of the stadium was only recently secured after its owners ran into financial difficulties.
A rescue package was eventually put together to the satisfaction of all concerned, and the stadium was saved.
Ibrox stadium, home of Rangers Football Club, was also in the running to stage the fighter's next bout, but was ruled out when a suitable date could not be found.

The annual reunion of the old soldiers of Comanche and adjoining counties for 1898 was held in Snare's Grove, at Wilmore, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week.
There may have been some who questioned the ability of the executive committee and of the people of Comanche county to secure a good attendance and furnish a good program at this meeting. If so, their doubts would have been quickly dispelled by lingering for awhile at the reunion grounds on either of the three days.
The weather was perfect in every respect, although slightly cool during the first evening for those on the grounds who happened to be scarce on bedding. An ample supply of tents arrived and were put up on Tuesday evening. The attendance on the first day was better than is usual on the first day of such occasions. Several families arrived during the day with their camping outfits and secured comfortable tents. When everything was in place in the tents, many of them presented quite a cozy and homelike appearance. On every hand were barrels and boxes, all filled with good things to eat.
Early Wednesday morning people began to arrive from all directions. They came on the morning train from the west, on horse back, in buggies and in wagons - whole wagon and buggy loads of people, all happy and expecting to spend a day or two in a real sociable and friendly reunion with the old soldiers - and they did.
By noon the crowd numbered between eight and nine hundred people. The forenoon was spent principally in social converse with an occasional diversion of some kind. A happier gathering was probably never assembled in Comanche county, than the one that sat down (possibly a few stood) to tables groaning with tempting viands on Wednesday.
At 2:30 p.m., most of the crowd assembled about the speaker's platform and
Capt. B. M. Veatchintroduced Hon: S. M. Jackson of this city, who delivered the address of welcome. The words which he spoke were eloquent and patriotic and conveyed a most hearty welcome to all present. We will give his speech in full next week. Mr. Jackson was followed by E. F. Reser of Kiowa county, who responded to the address of welcome and also spoke for a half hour or more on Grand Army matters. His speech was well received and was heartily applauded. Judge R. M. Painter of Meade county, was next introduced and for half an hour held the close attention of the audience with his eloquent and patriotic words. Capt. Veatch made a short talk at the close of Judge Painter's address, after which the audience was photographed by F. M. Steele, the reunion artist.
Quite a number of the large crowd of Wednesday stayed over night and until the afternoon of Thursday. The dancing platform was well patronized during the evening. That and the social chats among the vets and their friends constituted the principal part of the program for Wednesday evening. Thursday was somewhat a repetition of Wednesday, except the crowd was not so large. Judge Painter made another address, which abounded in patriotic utterances. Stirring speeches were also made by G. Rodgers of Ashland, Capt. B. M. Veatch of Coldwater, and others.
So closed one of the most enjoyable and successful G. A. R. reunions ever held in this part of the state.
HURRAH for the Grand Army of the Republic!
Patriotism received quite a boom this week.
Where's the unfortunate person who wasn't there.
Snare's Grove is a model place for a reunion.
Isn't it fun to live in a tent - for a few days.
Coldwater and Protection each sent a large delegation on Wednesday.
Thanks, Comrade Snare, for the use of your beautiful grove and for other kindness.
Jerry Simpson and Chester I. Long failed to come, but their places were filled by other speakers.
We heard of one accident and one runaway. Ask Dr. Purdon for particulars in regard to the latter.
The committee which had the arrangements in charge deserve three cheers which we heartily propose.
Among the Kiowa county comrades present we noticed Judge Douglass, O. J. Greenleaf, Wm. Henderson and E. A. Reser.
The STAR editor shared the hospitality and splendid dinner of the families of Elias Willard and
J. W. Yorkon Wednesday.
Frank Willard and Will Myers were the representatives present of the present war. They are still in the employment and subject to the orders of Uncle Sam.
J. W. Marrs, whose home in near Belvidere and who was among the earliest settlers of this county, was present and exchanged army and pioneer experiences with "the boys."
Clark county was represented at the reunion by S. H. Hughes, of Lexington, Robt. Chrisman, of Protection, G. Rogers and A. McMains, of Ashland and Geo. Gillam, of Englewood.
The cooking and serving of the beef and potatoes, coffee, beans, bread, etc., by the Grand Army was a great success. Much credit is due those who had that department in charge. Abundance of eatables were furnished free to all.
J. A. Jarnagin and family and Uncle John Fulton and family, both old soldiers, attended the reunion at Wilmore.
Thanks to Shirley Brier for transcribing and contributing the above article for use on this web page!
According to a list of the Grand Army of the Republic Posts in the State of Kansas, Post# 427, the J. H. McWilliams Post, was located in Nescatunga; Post# 398, The Scott Post, was located in Coldwater; no posts were listed for Buttermilk, Protection or Wilmore.

The "Comrade Snare" referred to in the above article was
Oliver Hazard Perry Snare, 16 May 1847 - 09 October 1915. From his obituary in The Western Star, October 15, 1915: "As a Union soldier, Mr. Snare made an honorable record during the Civil War. He was a member of Co. K., Twenty first Ohio Infantry. He was mustered into the service in 1863. He was at the battle of Chickamaugua, Lookout Mountain and a number of other engagements along the line of Sherman's march to the sea. A portion of the time he did scout duty under Gen. Sherman. His devotion to his country and his loyalty to the flag were unquestioned. Six comrades of the Civil War acted as pall bearers at his funeral. They were: Owen Connaughton, W. H. Kimple, J. A. Jarnagin, D. F. Edmonds, Elias Willard and W. E. Fisher."

Hey everybody,
My temple is a Sri Lankan vihara, and as far as I know all of the resident bhikkhus are Sri Lankan. I was hoping to get your insight (hah!) on a couple of things.
1. What is the typical way for an upāsaka to address a bhikkhu? Añjali at chest level? Face? Forehead? Is there an actual bow involved? If so, how deep?
2. One night I was in the common area, and a Sri Lankan woman came to talk to the abbot (is there a Pāḷi term for "abbot?"), but instead of just greeting him with the añjali mudra, she went ahead and did a full-out five-point prostration right in front of him. Is THIS what I should be doing? Is it a gender thing? Is the abbot of a monastery shown respect in a different way than regular bhikkhus?
The last thing I want to do is be the dumbest, whitest guy in the place and give some sort of corny pan-Asian bow that'll just show how little I know about the culture I'm interacting with. I want to engage these people on their terms, not on mine. Help me out?
Your sahadhammika,
