January 18, 2013 – The Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in San Antonio hosted a "Chopped"-style cooking competition for SNA members at the 2013 Child Nutrition Industry Conference (CNIC) this past weekend.
On Saturday, nutrition directors from school districts all over the country battled it out to prepare delicious and economical meals that meet the new meal pattern requirements. CIA chefs joined in on the fun, too – Chef Michael Katz provided a culinary demonstration, lectured participants on flavor profiles and recipe development, and gave pointers and tips.
SNA members prepared healthy meals as part of a cooking competition at the Culinary Institute of America
But before they got cooking, each of the six teams hit the local Farmers Market with $25, collecting whatever fresh ingredients they want to feature in their recipes. Some of the inventive recipes included an avocado ranch dressing, jalapeno relish, risotto fries, southwest tuna wraps, and black bean soup served in a tortilla bowl. Each team was judged on creativity, team cooperation and planning.
The winning dish? Tuna casserole, fiesta chicken salad, local greens, Arborio rice, and a pineapple & strawberry cup. Congrats to the winning team members:

Stinson's Hat Trick Leads Redbirds to Exhibition Win Over EMU
Follow @ISURedbirds Tweet #ISUATH
Aug 14, 2013Box Score
YPSILANTI, Mich. - Anna Stinson recorded a hat trick, while Hannah Leinert added two goals of her own, as the Illinois State soccer team defeated Eastern Michigan, 5-4, in an exhibition match Wednesday afternoon at Scicluna Field.
Stinson's third goal and the game-winner came in the 69th minute with the match tied, 4-4, when she rifled a shot from outside the box into the upper corner of the net. The tally ended a stretch of six combined goals in a span of 22 minutes, four of which were scored by ISU.
"Normally, this time of year, defenses are a little bit ahead of the attacking side," head coach Drew Roff said. "Evidently, Eastern Michigan and us both have some firepower.
"Both teams are still trying to get the timing down in the back and get the coordination between the backs and the midfielders," Roff elaborated. "I also think fatigue was a big part of the second half, because the game definitely got stretched out. There were big gaps in the middle of the field, and both teams were able to get the ball in behind a little more consistently."
Rachel Tejada chipped in two assists for ISU, with Kyla Cross and freshman Dagny Olson adding one apiece.
The Redbirds opened the scoring in the game's second minute, when Tejada found Leinert for the freshman's first goal of the match. The Eagles responded with two goals from Angela Vultaggio, one on a breakaway and one on a header off a cross, to take a 2-1 lead into halftime.
Just as they did in the first half, the Redbirds struck quickly to begin the second 45 minutes, as Olson found Stinson to even the match at 2-2 in the 47th minute. Six minutes later, Tejada and Leinert hooked up again to give ISU its second lead of the match.
From there, the two squads alternated goals, with Vultaggio recording a hat trick of her own and tying the score at 3-3 less than a minute later. Stinson put the Redbirds back on top briefly in the 60th minute, before Michelle Rollins of EMU equalized again on a header off a corner kick in the 65th minute. Stinson scored the decisive goal less than four minutes later, as both teams were held scoreless before time ran out.
"Anna stepped up in the second half," Roff said. "At halftime, I mentioned that a couple players could pick it up a little bit, and Anna definitely was one of those players. When she's playing well and in the zone, she's a special player."
All 21 of ISU's field players saw action in the match and combined to record 21 shots. Stinson led the way with five, Leinert had four and Tejada registered three. Olson and Cross each fired two shots, while Kara Morway, Alyse Williams, Gabbi McArtor, Kayla Campbell and Keri Kujawa tallied one apiece.
"As a coach it's nice to know that there are two or three more things that we can work on the next couple days that should help our team a great deal," Roff said. "That's exactly what we wanted to get out of this exhibition match, is to find out where we are, what we do well, and what needs to get better."
The Redbirds will play their final exhibition match Sunday at home against Iowa State at 1 p.m. The season officially begins Friday, Aug. 23, against defending Mid-American Conference champion Miami (Ohio) at Adelaide Street Field.

CD/LP/Track Review
Mary Jenson: Beyond (2012)
Vocalist Mary Jenson follows her well-received 2009 recording Close Your Eyes (Self Produced) with an homage to the dream state with Beyond. Coming from a large military family that never stayed put for long, Jenson developed a gypsy's soul and a musical taste for the world rhythmic and cosmopolitan. Her song selection is novel, including compositions by The Beatles ("Come Together"), Stevie Wonder ("Too High") and Joni Mitchell ("Moon at the Window").
But it is the opener, Tom Waits' "Temptation," that really captures Jenson's world music-jazz view. Pianist Frank Martin sets up swirling smoke over the poly-rhythms of drummer Will Kennedy and uber-percussionist Alex Acuna. The arrangement is light, with moments of inventive melodic grounding firmly in in the warm climes of the Caribbean rim. Jenson's pliable voice shares these characteristics of the arrangement. She transforms this Waits ballad (sung to great humid effect by Cote de Pablo in the opening episode of NCIS, Season 6). Jenson takes away some of the humidity and adds complex undulations, giving the piece a more urgent and visceral punch.
Personnel: Mary Jenson: vocals; Frank Martin: keyboards; Mads Tolling: violin; Jose Neto: guitar; Ralphe Armstrong: bass; Will Kennedy: drums; Alex Acuna: percussion.

NEW YORK – MGP & Associates PR launched a new reputation management consulting service today called The Reputation Doctor® Two-Hour Counseling Session for the low, introductory price of only $950. The one-on-one counseling session with crisis and reputation management veteran Mike Paul offers a significant savings over his usual hourly rate of $850 per hour, plus expenses. The low introductory rate offers a total savings of $750.
"This new reputation counseling service is exclusive and only offered by MGP & Associates PR," said Mike Paul, the Reputation Doctor® and president & senior counselor at MGP & Associates PR. "No other public relations firm in the world offers a reputation management counseling session similar to this, which is like visiting your therapist, but focused solely on improving your reputation."
The Reputation Doctor® 2-Hour Counseling Session will benefit two types of organizational and individual clients:
1) Those seeking immediate short-term help on a limited budget. Especially in today's economy, there are many times when organizations or individuals need immediate counseling to find a solution for a challenging reputation problem and are not interested in a long-term contract. The Reputation Doctor® Two-Hour Counseling Session allows an organization or individual to obtain reputation counseling from the top expert in just two hours. Additional sessions are available upon request.
2) Those seeking to engage a reputation management consultant but prefer to ensure quality of service and compatibility prior to signing a long-term agreement.
Trusting the counsel of your consultant is crucial to the success of a long-term relationship. The Reputation Doctor® Two-Hour Counseling Session allows clients to "kick the tires" and "test drive" MGP & Associates PR's reputation management services before signing a long-term agreement, especially for larger, more complicated reputation problems which require more counseling time.
A few examples of reputation challenges that can be addressed during The Reputation Doctor® Two-Hour Counseling Session include:
For Individuals -
• Fighting for your reputation in a legal battle.
• Overcoming reputation issues associated with a divorce.
• Conquering reputation issues at work.
• Improving your reputation at home and with your family.
For Corporations or Organizations –
• Overcoming a reputation for fraud or wrongdoing.
• Fighting for your reputation in a legal battle.
• Transitioning from a CEO with reputation problems to a new CEO unknown to employees and customers.
• Improving the corporate reputation by stopping hurtful internal rumors and other damaging internal communication problems.
"I disagree with those who say public relations consulting is about placing media stories and spin," said Mike Paul. Mr. Paul has always believed the public relations profession is more about counseling and truly changing behavior to improve reputations. "Our profession has as many specialties as the professions of law and medicine; crisis and reputation management have their roots in psychology and changing ineffective or destructive habits," continued Paul.
The Reputation Doctor® Two-Hour Counseling Session is a powerful tool in reputation management because it provides a concrete and focused prescription for repairing your reputation. Why? Because Your Reputation Is Everything!™ To make a confidential appointment for The Reputation Doctor® Two-Hour Session, please call 212-595-8500 or email email@example.com.

Your reputation is everything!™ I'm such a firm believer in that statement that I made it my company's tagline. We've all seen major corporations lose billions of dollars, or even go out of business, because of reputation crises. And while it might be tempting to think it can never happen to you as a small business owner, I'm afraid to say it certainly can.
So do the right thing for your business and start with a reputation audit. You can't begin unless you know what to look for, what to invest in, and what to change. Here are some tips to help you get started:
1. The customer is always right.
Do you ask your customers if there's anything you can do to improve your products or services? If the answer is "no," you're running the risk of having a reputation in crisis. Prepare yourself for hearing negative feedback and humbly accept it, fix it, and communicate the change back to your customers.
2. Online reviews can make or break a small business.
With an abundance of popular online review sites like Yelp and Citysearch, customer satisfaction has more accountability than ever. Trying to manipulate these sites won't work. The best solution is to exceed customer expectations and treat them better than you treat your own family. Many small businesses say they are accountable to their customers and other stakeholders, but few are consistent.
3. Boundaries and rules are very important for all staff.
Don't succumb to informal rules, guidelines, and processes—even if family and friends are running your business. Develop clear job descriptions and make employees understand their responsibilities. Hold them accountable with clear, weekly communication to ensure they're carrying them out. Do so humbly and listen actively to their concerns. Employee feedback is important to a successful small business. Make sure the lines of communication are clear, open and a two-way street.
4. Buy a ticket for the truth train.
The truth is crucially important for a small business. Being truthful is your bond and the lifeblood of your business. Don't ever lie to your customers, your staff, your vendors – and most importantly – yourself. Be mindful that your reputation resides in the minds of others. Your integrity and character are the backbone of your business.
5. Follow your reputation bricks.
Having counseled various clients worldwide, I developed the "6 Reputation Bricks" to help build, maintain, and repair a company's business reputation. Truth, honesty, humility, transparency, accountability, and consistency comprise the list and will help you avoid the slippery slope of reputation crises.
Don't forget your business is not the brick or mortar, the building, or the tools used to run your business. Your business is about people. When you don't put them first, your business will suffer. Why? Because your reputation is everything.
Mike Paul is known globally as The Reputation Doctor®. He is considered one of the leading reputation experts in the world. You've seen him on TV as a top TV news commentator discussing reputations in crisis in the national and international news. He is also president and senior counselor of MGP & Associates PR based in New York.

Main :: POD Farm / POD Studio / TonePort
by imannoyed on 2012-08-13 10:03:23
I have a toneport UX2 & my setup is a toshiba satelitte c655 i3 processor & 8gb of ram. I use samplitude producer 11.5 as a DAW.
I am having severe dropouts when I try to record my guitar & vocals at same time. I just want to do a live recording. I have changed my toneport settings to the lowest quality to see if that helps but I am still having the same problem. I have latest drivers etc.
I also tried doing the same in audacity with the same outcome
I am considering reformatting my laptop & only having a DAW installed on windows. (use ubuntu for internet & other stuff etc...)
Before i go down that road though is there anything I can try?
Can you make Win 7 hardware profiles where the only thing starting up/running is for audio recording ?
Its getting frustrating as everytime I feel creative, for whatever reason Im getting let down by the technology. I tried pod farm but it seems to hate my setup so Im back to gearbox, but still got the massive drop outs.
Please help folks !!
by Triryche on 2012-08-13 10:31:53
Are you selecting the Line6 UX2 ASIO as you device in Samplitude?
(I do not think you can do this in Audacity, last time a check it was not ASIO compatible).
And there is a bunch of info here, including optimizing Windows for Audio Recording.
by TheRealZap on 2012-08-13 10:52:58
try getting slim drivers (google it) free and it will check for updated drivers specific to your machine... often times finding motherboard driver updates ect that play a huge part...
by imannoyed on 2012-08-13 14:58:14
Yes i am doing this... I have optimised windows, deactivated services anti virus etc. but its still doing same in samplitude & audacity. It worked fine on my old xp desktop dual core with 2gb ram.... it may just be a toneport/win 7 compatibility error ...
I dont know what to try next though.
by imannoyed on 2012-08-13 15:00:58
All my system drivers are up to date as well.....I may have to downgrade to XP or something, i dont want to do that... but not sure what to do next. As a side note my friend has a mac with similar spec & he can rec 8 tracks at once with no issues..... with a UX8
by Triryche on 2012-08-13 15:12:29
Sorry I forgot the link
thereis a lot of things to try.
But Windows 7 is not necessarily the issue.
Many users, including myself, are running this on Win 7 without issues.
by imannoyed on 2012-08-13 15:24:07
ok will try link when the line 6 comes back online... hopefully i can do this.
Does anyone else succesfully record with toneport & laptop?
I am also running in high performance mode ... I dont know what else to tweak.
I am not doing any complex stuff, just recording 2 tracks live....
by imannoyed on 2012-08-13 15:29:26
i will try what i can on this link... thanks. hopefully this can get resolved.
by TheRealZap on 2012-08-13 16:01:10
everyone thinks their drivers are up to date... but who thinks to get a driver for their northbridge or pci bus?
slimdrivers finds those forgotten things on your motherboard as well as everything else... worth looking into.
by imannoyed on 2012-08-13 16:23:24
Hi, I have slim drivers on my pc. I have all my drivers up to date. I will keep using gearbox for the time being as its not as painful as pod farm but still dropping out, i will miss the layout though.
if its any difference when i listen back to what i recorded its not like a pop (at the time i hear pop & almost like a slowdown) or anything but more like a cd skipping, where a chunk of song is missing & it jumps.
I will keep trying though as i do like pod farm.
Its just a bit disheartening when you get an idea for a song & the pc lets you down...
Any time I have tried recently, I spend about 20mins going through the hardware settings etc, I can rarely get through 1 take without some sort of error happening.
I have tried also using a mic in the onboard soundcard, this seems to work fine, but its poor quality & no real use if I cant use gearbox or farm.
Thanks for all your help folks its much appreciated, I will check my usb settings on laptop also as there may be something in there i have missed.
The information above may not be current, and you should direct questions to the current forum or review the manual.

LGBT swim club preps for annual charity event in Chestertown
by Yusef Najafi
Published on July 7, 2010, 10:32pm | Comments
The DC Aquatics Club (DCAC) is preparing to welcome more than 170 swimmers from the mid-Atlantic region for the 19th annual Maryland Swim for Life event on July 10 in Chestertown, Md.
''It's an open-water swimming competition that's also a fundraiser for local area HIV/AIDS organizations and the Chester River Organization,'' says Nell Orscheln, race coordinator and a member of DCAC, a nonprofit, volunteer-run swim team that strives to promote competitive swimming for LGBT swimmers and friends.
''There's music, homemade food and competition,'' she says. ''It's like no other event.
''It has that feeling of community and a feeling of togetherness. It's not just a race. It's a time for everyone to touch base on what's important to them. It's giving back, working hard and challenging yourself.''
The event locale is more than 75 miles northeast of Washington, at Rolph's Wharf Marina on the Chester River.
Last year, DCAC raised more than $35,000 during the event. This year the organization's goal is to raise $45,000 to benefit five different organizations: Heart to Hand, Pediatric HIV/AIDS Care, Quality of Life Retreats, the Chester River Association, and the Chester River Valley Ministers Association.
''Everything goes to local organizations,'' Orscheln says. ''It goes straight to them. So there's also a feeling of local togetherness. And the beneficiaries are there, so you're not only enjoying the swim, you're seeing the people that the money goes to.''
For more information about the 19th annual Maryland Swim for Life event, visit swimdcac.org. Rolph's Wharf Marina is located at 1008 Rolphs Wharf Road, Chestertown, Md.

The Santa Clarita Christian football team scored on plays of 66 and 58 yards over the final two drives of their season opening contest against Chadwick High School of Palos Verdes.

We all know that perception often influences our decisions, yet we catch ourselves and become reminded that what we perceive isn't always what's really going on.

After more than two weeks of around-the-clock investigation into the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the American intelligence community remains confused, divided, and unsure about how the terrorists operated, how many there were, and what they might do next. It was that lack of solid information, government officials told me, that was the key factor behind the Bush Administration's decision last week not to issue a promised white paper listing the evidence linking Osama bin Laden's organization to the attacks.
There is consensus within the government on two issues: the terrorist attacks were brilliantly planned and executed, and the intelligence community was in no way prepared to stop them. One bureaucratic victim, the officials said, may be George Tenet, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, whose resignation is considered a necessity by many in the Administration. "The system is after Tenet," one senior officer told me. "It wants to get rid of him."
The investigators are now split into at least two factions. One, centered in the F.B.I., believes that the terrorists may not have been "a cohesive group," as one involved official put it, before they started training and working together on this operation. "These guys look like a pickup basketball team," he said. "A bunch of guys who got together." The F.B.I. is still trying to sort out the identities and backgrounds of the hijackers. The fact is, the official acknowledged, "we don't know much about them."
These investigators suspect that the suicide teams were simply lucky. "In your wildest dreams, do you think they thought they'd be able to pull off four hijackings?" the official asked. "Just taking out one jet and getting it into the ground would have been a success. These are not supermen." He explained that the most important advantage the hijackers had, aside from the element of surprise, was history: in the past, most hijackings had ended up safely on the ground at a Third World airport, so pilots had been trained to coöperate.
Another view, centered in the Pentagon and the C.I.A., credits the hijackers with years of advance planning and practice, and a deliberate after-the-fact disinformation campaign. "These guys were below everybody's radar—they're professionals," an official said. "There's no more than five or six in a cell. Three men will know the plan; three won't know. They've been 'sleeping' out there for years and years." One military planner told me that many of his colleagues believe that the terrorists "went to ground and pulled phone lines" well before September 11th—that is, concealed traces of their activities. It is widely believed that the terrorists had a support team, and the fact that the F.B.I. has been unable to track down fellow-conspirators who were left behind in the United States is seen as further evidence of careful planning. "Look," one person familiar with the investigation said. "If it were as simple and straightforward as a lucky one-off oddball operation, then the seeds of confusion would not have been sown as they were."
Many of the investigators believe that some of the initial clues that were uncovered about the terrorists' identities and preparations, such as flight manuals, were meant to be found. A former high-level intelligence official told me, "Whatever trail was left was left deliberately—for the F.B.I. to chase."
In interviews over the past two weeks, a number of intelligence officials have raised questions about Osama bin Laden's capabilities. "This guy sits in a cave in Afghanistan and he's running this operation?" one C.I.A. official asked. "It's so huge. He couldn't have done it alone." A senior military officer told me that because of the visas and other documentation needed to infiltrate team members into the United States a major foreign intelligence service might also have been involved. "To get somebody to fly an airplane—to kill himself," the official added, further suggests that "somebody paid his family a hell of a lot of money."
"These people are not necessarily all from bin Laden," a Justice Department official told me. "We're still running a lot of stuff out," he said, adding that the F.B.I. has been inundated with leads. On September 23rd, Secretary of State Colin Powell told a television interviewer that "we will put before the world, the American people, a persuasive case" showing that bin Laden was responsible for the attacks. But the widely anticipated white paper could not be published, the Justice Department official said, for lack of hard facts. "There was not enough to make a sale."
The Administration justified the delay by telling the press that most of the information was classified and could not yet be released. Last week, however, a senior C.I.A. official confirmed that the intelligence community had not yet developed a significant amount of solid information about the terrorists' operations, financing, and planning. "One day, we'll know, but at the moment we don't know," the official said.
"To me," he added, "the scariest thing is that these guys"—the terrorists—"got the first one free. They knew that the standard operating procedure in an aircraft hijacking was to play for time. And they knew for sure that after this the security on airplanes was going to go way up. So whatever they've planned for the next round they had in place already."

I love working with alcohol inks and this added a metallic aged look!! I used it to dye metal for a cigar box and it worked perfect. I mixed it with the rust alcohol ink and a blue toned alcohol ink and it gave it a grungy aged look!!
The copper mixative is so much fun to work with. I used it with the alcohol inks and all by itself and came up with some really cool looks. Try it on transparency, the metallic sheen is gorgeous!
I highly recommend this product.

We finally decided that the event worth definitively a visit. We stayed all the afternoon, and consequently loosing our tea at 5 PM, at the fair.
Mainly related to the XX century art, obviously with a very predominance of italian avantgarde, futirist and modernist movements, we can see some very interesting paintings by Chagall, Mirò and, moreover, by our beloved Egon Schiele.
Just a few printigs, but one of them really outstanding, with the typical Schiele-green on a extremely deturped body, even between illness and starvation
Other paintings and compositions included also a great photo of Naomi Campbell, another Kubrick-like photo montage andseveral interesting new artist, with an eye to the secessionist style, such as Mattia Montemezzani, with a design somewhat similiar to an Helbing Ferenc, but directly into a landscape and colours with a kuniesque taste …

I love the scent and thickness of this conditioner, had a trial size and helps me detangle my long thick hair. This conditioner is made from quality ingredients and I'm a long term fan.
This conditioner is super thick and the bottle isn't well designed for that, if you have a way to keep it upside down though, it works great. It gives a lot of moisture so I use it sparingly, a teeny bit once a week keeps my curls nice and fresh!
This is the main go to in the shower for me because it is so versatile. Quick application, leave-in conditioner, or use as a mask and it actually works for all!
I have type 4b natural hair and I have fallen head over heels in love with this stuff! My hair is usually dry and frizzy, after I use this product it leaves if super soft and moisturized. Detangling my hair afterwards is a breeze and this is definitely one of my staple products.
Love the way this conditioner smells but was not happy the way I would have to squeeze the conditioner out of bottle.
I love this conditioner for curly hair. It has a great coconut smell and leaves my hair moisturized and soft. A wonderful choice for curly hair that doesn't weigh curls down. Love this product!
My hair is curly and color treated. This conditioner just wasn't moisturizing enough for me, although it smells amazing!
I know this is conditioner, but it was so awful as a conditioner, I now use it to shave my legs with. The scent is nice and that is the only nice thing I can say about it! Did not soften my hair well at all. I will not be buying this product again and I would recommend to anyone to save their money. This product is not good, in my humble opinion.
This conditioner was okay. It smelled great, but wasn't as moisturizing as I'd hoped. Definitely won't be sticking with it as a longer term conditioner for my hair.
This conditioner is great. It is all natural and safe for my curls. The smell is AMAZING - better than any conditioner I have ever had. HIGHLY recommend!

Blessed Diego Oddi
- Giuseppi Oddi
- José Oddi
Son of Vicenzo Oddi and Bernardina Pasquali; raised in a poor but pious farm family. He had little education, but learned as much about the faith as he could. About age 20 he felt a call to the religious life, but his family strongly objected. He met Blessed Mariano da Roccacasale while making a pilgrimage to Rome, and was inspired by his example to become a Franciscan lay brother. He spent the rest of his life in the same monastery, known for his life of simple service, his sunny temperament, and his obvious deep faith.
- 6 June 1839 in Vallinfreda, Italy as Giuseppi Oddi
- 22 January 1991 by Pope John Paul II (decree of heroic virtues)

Wal-Mart has a special ready-to-eat delivery of "Goodies" heading your way.
The world's largest retailer is partnering with Goodies Co., a monthly food subscription service, to offer a taste-testing program. For $7 per month, U.S. consumers receive a package with five to eight new products that fit a theme. Bought separately the food items would cost around $15. To buy into the program, consumers need to sign up for an invitation to join at www.goodies.co.
The sample box sent to CNBC included eight items that fit the theme "Entertaining Made Simple." From Flourless Bliss Pumpkin Souffle Mix to Bobbysue's Nuts, the sampling seemed a bit more unique than what you might expect to find at your local Walmart store.
While the items have been selected from all over the country, the program was created in Silicon Valley, not in Bentonville, Ark. where the world's largest retailer is headquartered. Located in San Bruno, Calif., @WalmartLabs is dedicated to growing and enhancing Wal-Mart's e-commerce business, and helping it compete against Amazon .
"At Walmart Labs our charter is to innovate at the intersection of social, mobile and retail" said Ravi Raj, @WalmartLabs vice president.
(Read More: Black Thursday? Stores Encroach Deeper Into Thanksgiving)
Wal-Mart may be the largest brick and mortar retailer in the world, but Amazon dominates ecommerce. Wal-Mart's 2013 e-commerce sales goal is $9 billion, a fraction of Amazon's nearly $50 billion in sales. @WalmartLabs started in April 2011 with around 50 employees and is now up to nearly 400. Since its inception, the tech group has created a search engine, "Polaris," for Walmart.com, "Shopycat," a social gift finder called crowdsourcing contests, and Social Media Analytics, which uses social media discussions to select items for Wal-Mart to carry.
Goodies however, is more of a business focused initiative than a technology initiative. Raj said Wal-Mart looked at the Box space and competitors offerings felt it was "...ripe for innovation. We picked food because it plays to Wal-Mart's strengths. Wal-Mart is the largest grocer in the world, so we thought we could leverage the relationships we have with suppliers in the food space".

Wal-Mart's size is a competitive advantage over rivals, it provides for economies of scale that enables the retailer to charge consumers lower prices. Consumers' reaction to the items in the monthly Goodie box can ultimately help Wal-Mart decide whether or not it will stock those items going forward.
Goodies is just a small step in the large strategy as Wal-Mart works to become more competitive online.
"The real advantage Amazon has is the best website, and an investment community that is willing to keep investing in Amazon at ridiculously high multiples for a company that cannot bring much in the way of profitability to the bottom line" said Jan Kniffen, of J Rogers Kniffen.
Amazon's forward price to earnings ratio is a whopping 127 compared to Walmart's 13, Target's12.5 and Costco's19 .

But Kniffen, the former senior vice president of Finance and Treasurer of The May Department Stores Company, thinks it won't be long until Wal-Mart will closes in on Amazon's dominance.
"Given the growth of online sales at Wal-Mart, Macy, Saks, and countless unnamed other retailers, I still think Amazon's growth rate will slow, not accelerate. Yes, they are, and will continue to be one of the world's great retailers. But, really, they are just a retailer. One day they will trade like one."

Durham >Restaurants > Blue Coffee Cafe
202 Corcoran St, Durham, NC | Directions 2770135.994927 -78.902468
Neighborhoods: Downtown, City Center
Don't waste your time or $$$! – Ordered a veggie burger and when I went to pick it up, I tried to tell counter girl that website needed to be updated because prices and items had changed. She then scoured and treated me rudely. When I got back to office, I found they had put my over-microwaved burger (YUCK) on WHITE BREAD! I won't EVER go back there again!
Outstanding and HIstorical – We enjoyed coming to such a outstanding establishment, The Blue Coffee Cafe. The vision of Ms. Qwen to provide such a classy yet with a home -style atmosphere is appreciated in this day and time of hustle and bustle , The hard work and dedication of excellent service to the Durham community is praisedworthy. We thank you, Ms. Qwen one of few down home, kick your shoes off and enjoy peace and not worry about rushing- time.We want to add Blue Coffee Cafe as one of Durham finest and historical place to eat, in peace.
You never get a second chance to make a first impression. – Upon a recommendation of my co-workers, we visited the Blue Coffee Cafe today. I placed my order (one hot dog w/ chips and iced tea). Twenty minutes later, I still did not have my order. This is unacceptable. First of all, there were less than half a dozen other patrons in the cafe. Secondly, although, they were pitifully understaffed, the staff there made no effort to hasten in their service. Despite the fact we had to take it back to the office to enjoy it, I can honestly say the food was good.
Good reviews going to their heads? – The food is great at the Blue Coffee Cafe, but the service is terrible. If you have time to waste, this is a great place to eat, and yes, the owner is a sweetheart. But if you have time constraints, for instance a one hour lunch break, you want to avoid this eatery all together. I have tried even calling in advance to no avail - the wait time is just as absurd as walking in.
My New Favorite Hangout In Durham! – The food, the music, the service, the atmosphere - it doesn't get any better than the Blue Coffee Cafe! The breakfast menu tops anything McDonald's, Chick-fil-A, or Burger King have to offer, the lunchtime selection of sandwiches, hot dogs, and other grilled items is more than satisfying, and the fresh goodies offered all day long (muffins, bagels, cake, etc.) keep you coming back for more. The staff is professional, prompt, and kind - and Gwen Matthews, the owner, is an absolute sweetheart. You can't afford to swing through Downtown Durham and NOT pay this cultural treasure a visit...you'll be robbing yourself of a shining example of just what makes our city so unique.
Indy coffee shop caters to downtown suits and urban hipsters. – In Short
A large, Ikea-furnished space hosts lunchtime diners, sofa loungers and after-hours social butterflies. On the menu: A full roster of coffee drinks, some Republic of Tea selections and a pared-down lunch menu. Broad Street Coffee provides the beans. Local faves Sweet Jane and Ninth Street Bakery provide the fresh-baked scones, muffins and danishes.
Keep this place open! – It is refreshing to get a great cup of coffee and it not have a "Starbucks" label on the cup. Make sure you stop by and try out this Durham based coffee shop. After a dinner at Joe and Jo's downtown, take a quick walk over and get a cup of coffee and dessert--makes for a great evening and an even better downtown Durham.
My new favorite place – Blue Coffee meets all the criteria for a great cafe -- cool music, good coffee, good croissants, cool staff, comfy couches. But my favorite is that they have an offside corner with a little table and easel where my kid can play & I don't have to chase after her to make sure she doesn't get run over by careless people carrying hot drinks. This is so much more relaxing than going to Fowlers, Fosters, or Mad Hatter.
