Ticked Off!
January 9, 2013
I'm ticked off at people who don't give you a "yes" or "no" answer to a simple question. Instead of a direct reply to your query, they go into a long winded commentary explaining their opinion of related subjects and trivia because they feel they must give you background before they can answer you.
I'm ticked off at celebrities who continue to have babies out of wedlock. They are setting a bad example for the young girls and women who look up to them. Whatever happened to morality? What type of standards are they setting? And when their kids become adults, they will know they were born out of wedlock and perhaps the parents are not even together anymore. Please, no more illegitimate love childs!
Whatever happened to saying, "Thank you" when someone holds the door for you?
Florida is nothing but rude drivers in a hurry to go everywhere. Stop talking on the phones, texting and pay attention! Don't blame it on the tourists; a lot of times it's the ones who live here and think they can multitask.
The flip side
My husband passed away in the middle of December and we ate daily at a family diner in our neighborhood. I ate there yesterday for the first time since he passed away. Everyone is so friendly from the owners and employees, down to the customers. When I went to pay my bill, it had already been taken care of by another customer. What a kind thing to do. God bless you for that "act of kindness" and I will pass it on.

Washington, DC—Children's National Medical Center's Injury Free Coalition for Kids program in partnership with the District of Columbia Department of Parks and Recreation and The Allstate Foundation are pleased to announce the opening of a new refurbished playground located in the Petworth community at 801 Taylor St. NW, Saturday, July 28 at 2 p.m. The playground is specially designed to keep kids safe at play and to reduce playground injuries.
"Injuries are by far the number one reason we see kids in our emergency department and playground-related injuries have increased in recent years," said Joseph Wright, MD, MPH, Executive Director of the Child Health Advocacy Institute at Children's. "We take injury prevention very seriously. Creating safe environments for children is part of our prevention strategy."
In 2003, Children's saw 169 total playground related Emergency Department visits with 23 from the Petworth community alone. These reported estimates are most likely far lower than the actual level of injuries occurring.
The new playground is the result of nearly three years of planning, fundraising and construction and will cater to children of all ages, from toddlers to teens. The materials and design of the playground promote safety and injury prevention.
The renovated playground uses rubber surfacing, as opposed to woodchips and has no sharp edges. The ladders, swings and boards are an appropriate height for children and basketball and tennis courts are distanced to keep younger children safe from proximity injuries. It serves as a model for future playground "makeovers" in other areas of Washington, DC, and in other U.S. cities.

I want readers on my website to choose their language, and I am hoping for some ideas from you experts. I got some solutions in the last thread, and I am studying these, but it is a bit difficult for me (I just started with Dreamweaver building websites) and have never heard from php. But you are never to old to learn, so that's what I am trying to do now.
My site is in dutch http//:www.freeoncrete.nl
Hi Barbaraki,
I'm sure Gramps will bring you a better explanation, nevertheless I would like to try it with MY cookbook:
Copy all these files into one single directory, dont forget a directory for the newestSpryAssets and your flags.
Here my newest test file only with flags: http://hansgd.de/AdobTest/MoreMenueGramps/indexIm.php. I hope I'll get them in a single row next time.
Good luck!
Please dont use "'" as in "foto's".
Hi Barbaraki,
naturally no offense! I saw this minor flaw at the moment, please control it:
plaatjes/vlag_fr.gif (do you really need a gif file? All the others are jpg.) and plaatjes/Vlag_gr.jpg > the others are written "vlag".
Hi Hans-G,
It looks very good with all the flags!!!
The french flag is a gif (I think I could not find a jpg) and I changed the Vlag in vlag in the Greek one.
Hi Hans-G,
This is very helpfull!!! But what do you mean with: delete all(!) and copy Gramps entries "menu_en.php" in it.
And do I make a new DW file with all the CSS codes in it?
And do I make a new file for all the languages?
Barbaraki Καλημέρα!
Yesterday we had a little party, so I can reply only now. Drawings are an engineer's language, so let's try it also for our DW.
Step one; open a new file:
Step two: Delete all:
Step three: copy Gramps "index.php" and insert it into the empty file:
and store it as "index.php".
Step four: insert/copy Gramps "menu_nl.php":
Next steps: Repeat step four in the same way for all your other "menu_de.php", "menu_en.php" aso.
Now try it in a offline browser or load it up to your server, and delight you at your new experience.
Καλή τύχη!
Kalimera Hans-G,
You did a great job! Thanks a lot! And I made the pages in the way you told me, and it works!!!! But... now I see a white page with only the languages and a small menu. How do I get this on my index.hml page or do I have to make a new homepage with the language choices?
I feel so happy now already and now the finishing touch!!!
Hello Barbaraki,
that shouldn't be a problem, 'cause you only have to put all the special informations for the category they participate in of your "menu_de.php", "menu_en.php" aso.
Because this is obviously complex and timeconsuming, I suggest that you review the matter again and again, either by previewing a page in DW (push the F12 key). You could also use a special offline browser.
Sorry, unfortunately there is no better information (in my opinion), if you really want change in this new direction, you need a very strong dip into the inner workings of the DW.
I therefore ask the question whether or not you should stay at your current mode with the flag and you only solve the problem (see my former hints) with the spry menu which opens in the background.
Good luck and make a good choice!
After reading your solution about the php-pages and the hours of work it will take I think I will try to get on with my flags and save the other info for later (you should always have something to wish).
Thanks anyway for the BIG help!!!! And when I have some trouble I will again ask for help, now I know the way.
I think our messages crossed

Yukon NV MT1 is proud to introduce the newest addition to our premium night vision line. The NV MT1 embraces the most modern, cutting edge technology available without forgetting practicality. A key component to the originality of the new NV MT1 is that it sheds the burden of a one-dimensional item and evolves into a multi-functional system allowing the scope to be used virtually anywhere. Whether you choose to take advantage of the optional waterproof version or stay with our standard variety; you will be simply amazed by the ease of use and quality of image provided by this compact unit. The NV MT1 is equipped with two 1/4 inch mounts thus it can be utilized for a head mount as well as a riflescope. As an option, the NV MT1 can also be coupled with an exclusive rifle mount/laser system elevating the NV MT right to the top of the newest generation of compact night vision riflescopes.
The NV MT's newly developed lenses have improved wavelength / contrast characteristics which help to utilize every bit of light ampflification from the night vision tube.
This unique design allows the scope to produce a clear image with quality and high resolution. The NV MT1 was primarily designed to produce a quality image. The unit design has also considered both comfort and ease of use.
The NV MT1 is equipped with comfortable sensor control buttons coupled with an ergonomically designed body and innovative lens cover. Rugged rubber armor protects the NV MT from destructive moisture and other elements.
Our Exclusive PULSTM system provides the highest level of infrared illumination without the significant power drain on the battery. The PLUSTM system allows the maximum possible output by the I.R. Illuminator doide, yet letting it rest between the impulses to protect the IR from burning out. The pulsing frequency is invisible to a human eye but it penetrates longer distances due the quick energy bursts of the IR.

Unless he were going to another team... Can't help the Clips' again, that'd make it back-to-back offseasons...
Report: Doc Rivers no longer pursuing Clippers' coaching job
Doc Rivers will no longer pursue the Los Angeles Clippers' head coaching position, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports.
The Clippers were working on bringing Rivers on board and then adding Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce afterward. This came after David Stern said that the NBA would likely reject any trade that would send Rivers and Kevin Garnett to the Clippers. Stern added that the only assets allowed in NBA trades are player contracts, draft picks and cash.
Celtics and Doc Rivers' camp rapidly reaching belief there's no deal to be made with Clippers. Rivers flying back to Orlando.

SPOTLIGHT ON SPEED: Lance Lincoln
That fact was driven home last Saturday night when Lincoln, a former track champion, claimed the B Mod feature.
"It was a brand new car, the first time on the track was this year, so it took four or five weeks (to get things figured out),'' Lincoln said. "There were a lot of new things to adjust in the back of it. It took a long time to figure out how to adjust it, but we have gotten better.''
In recent years Lincoln had been hitting the IMCA traveling circuit before coming back to HPT on a regular basis this season.
"Coming from IMCA they take a lot of the adjustability out of the rear of the car so you don't have to worry about making any adjustments,'' Lincoln said. "Coming back out here we have a little more stuff to play with and if you play with it too much it makes you worse.''
But as last week showed, Lincoln has gotten things on the 7X figured out now.
"I think every week I show up here I have a chance to win, but there's 25 other cars that have the same chance,'' he said.
Even though Lincoln, currently eighth in B Mod standings, has cut back on his schedule, he said he's enjoying racing as much as he ever did.
"And then some,'' Lincoln said. "Me and dad (Larry Sr.) went off chasing IMCA points and traveled all over. Then my second son, Cooper, showed up and now it's time to stay close to home and just race when we can.
"I'm glad I still get to do it. I'm very thankful for my dad because I work for BNSF Railroad and I'm out of town a lot. The only day I go out and work on this thing is Saturday, and that's it. Dad does everything Monday through Friday.''

Open Document Format in practice
What happens when you feed an ODT document created with OpenOffice to a word processor like AbiWord, KWord, or Writely? Read on to find out.
Finally, we have an open standard for the exchange of data between office documents. The OpenDocument Format (ODF) is based on XML. You can use it to transport a text document (ODT), a drawing (ODG), a presen- tation (ODP), or a diagram (ODC) from OpenOffice to KOffice without any loss – at least in theory. Alternative word processors have not said much about OpenDocument Format thus far, and the implementation of this major standard is still in progress. Portability is a goal of ODT, and we wanted to learn how portable an ODT text document really is. To find out, we saved an ODT file in OpenOffice then opened it with tools such as AbiWord, KWord, and Google Docs.

GMC Terrain Lease Questions
Hi cruiser54. GMAC's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 GMC Terrain SLE1 AWD with 15,000 miles per year are 2.8% and 46%, respectively.
You never mentioned the exact trim level that you're interested in, so I had to make an assumption. Let me know if you want something different.
As you can see, GMAC publishes lease rates instead of money factors for the vehicles that it leases. You can convert its published lease rates into approximate money factor equivalents by dividing them by 2400.
When negotiating your deal on the Terrain, make sure to take advantage of the $250 cash incentive that is currently available on leases of it through GMAC.

Hey cnote2. GMAC's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 GMC Terrain SLT1 FWD with 12,000 miles per year are 2.8% and 45%, respectively.
When negotiating your deal on this truck, make sure to take advantage of the (measly ) $250 cash incentive that is available on leases of it through GMAC.

wtalbot Posts: 142010 GMC Terrain SLE
Low Mileage Lease for Well-Qualified Lessees
$319 Per Month
39 Months§§
$2,039 Due at Signing After all Offers
Includes Security Deposit. Tax, title license
and dealer fees extra. Mileage charge of
$0.18/mile over 39,000
I assume this is the very base model. 39 months at 1000 miles a month. Is this a good deal? What if I need more miles, how do I figure that?
Could I get similar pricing for a 36 month lease?
Hi wtalbot. Savvy consumers who shop around in an area that has a decent level of competition are usually able to beat the selling prices that were used to arrive at manufacturers' official advertised lease payments.
If I was interested in leasing a 2010 GMC Terrain right now, I personally would shoot for a selling price of $500 to $1,000 over dealer invoice minus the $500 cash incentive that General Motors is currently providing on leases of this model through GMAC.

Anyone know the residual and money factor for a 2011 Terrain Slt-2 AWD?
39 month lease 10k miles.
I am in NY
I am trying to decide between a Terrain or an SRX. From what I am reading a lease of a SRX AWD with Nav as only option is pretty close to what a fully loaded Terrain would lease out to.
thanks for the help
Hi msa5. I'd be happy to work up a lease payment on this truck for you. I'm not sure what this vehicle's GM Employee Price is, so I'll base my calculations on dealer invoice minus the incentives.
According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2011 GMC Terrain SLT1 FWD that has an MSRP of $31,385 and a selling price of $425.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
Thank you very much for your help.
If my math is right its really only like $10 or so more a month to lease out a SRX AWD. It seems that the Cadillacs are leasing better then the Terrain. And from what i heard the Terrain is in big demand and dealers wont work that much with you on the MSRP. Whereas there are tons of SRX's on dealer lots. More wiggle room to work with.
thanks again.
We are looking at a lease or a purchase of a new 2011 GMC Terrain and I started negotiations with the following deal. I am curious to see how much better we can get and where, price, mf, total oop, res, etc.
Here are the details:
2011 GMC Terrain SLT-2
3.0L V6, Flex Fuel
Cargo Management Package
Audio System with Navigation Package
Trailing Package
Negotiated Purchase Price with destination charges less discounts = $33,166.69
Lease deal is as follows:
48% Res
Lease-End $16,624.80
Selling Price $33,166.69
Rebate $750 - USAA Members
Lease APR 3.5%
Adjusted Cap Cost $33,890.69
Base Monthly Payment 517.17, with FL sales tax $553.37
39 months, 12k miles per year
Total out of pocket at delivery $1,283.86 from $679 smart lease protection, $795 acquisition fee, $400 MV fees, $83 filing fees.
Car Man or others...what do you think?
To follow up to the above post...negoatiated a little further and here is the deal we have agreed to.
$0 total out of pocket, no start up's at all.
We are at $514 per month including tax (7% in Hillsborough)
39 months / 39k miles
Looks like they are securing the vehicle fully loaded as indicated above.
I think this is a good deal. I am supposed to sign documents Monday afternoon. If you have any feedback positive or negative please let me know asap.
chaplindog Posts: 2Thanks for this forum. Big help.
I am in the process of looking for a new car for my wife. We are expecting our 2nd child and need something bigger. Currently she drives a 2005 Volvo V50. We are looking at the Volvo xc70, Cadillac SRX and the GMC terrain. We are interested in a lease as she only drives about 12k per year. I have visited both the GMC and Volvo dealers and both have immediatly shot down the lease idea.
Long question short, Is there a reason they are so quick to shot down this idea of leasing? Is ther some incentive for a dealer to push a purchase over a lease? I have only ever purchased and never leased so am open to any and all suggestions. thank you in advance or your assistance.
Great lease deals are usually because the manufacturer has special incentives in place, that reduce the monthly payment.. Either cheap financing, unrealistically high residuals, or dealer or consumer cash..
In some cases, the manufacturer just doesn't supply any incentives, and the lease payments are high... If a dealer knows his car sells for a decent price, but doesn't have a good lease payment, he is likely to steer you away from leasing, because you are likely to find a competitive model that leases for much less.... I think right now, that would apply to the Terrain and the Volvo...
The dealer sells a car, either way... either directly to the consumer, or the bank that leases the car to the consumer.. If they are steering you away from a lease, it's probably because the payments aren't competitive with their competition...

jmarks2001 Posts: 1I'd like to know the residual and APR I should expect to get on a 12,000 mile/39-month lease on a 2011 Terrain SLT-1 for the month of December 2010. And if it matters, I'm in FL.
On a model with the additional Power Rear Lift Gate and Sunroof options, they provided me with an MSRP quote of $29,885. With a $2000 cap-cost reduction (not including first payment), the lease quote came to $461 per month (after 7.5% sales tax).
My plan is to try to talk them down to Edmunds TMV, but I'd like to have the exact residual and APR so I can do my own calculations before I go in to negotiate.
Thanks in advance!

New to leasing and figured we would go this route to get my wife a new, reliable, safe AWD vehicle for New Hampshire driving and she just loves this car. But, the dealer we visited today nearly crushed our dreams with his quote of $500/mo lease pmnt (and that was 48 Months! Sounds NUTS!) I owe $5400 on my Maxima and KBB says it's worth $2500 in poor condition for trade, so i'm upside down..but still.
So, we were quoted 50% Residual and didnt catch the Rate factor they were using. It was a 2011 GMC Terrain SLT1 i4 for around $31k.
They said the new lease rates come out tomorrow (Jan 4th) but they usually dont change much, if at all.
Any incentives that we should know about? A lot harder than purchasing a car because it's so hard to compare with all factors involved. At least if i know the constants (MF and Res) and I get a good idea on TMV, and some good incentives come out, I'm hoping to negotiate a price MUCH closer to $400/mo. Is that reasonable or should we start looking at other options?
Thanks for your advice!

Stamford, CT - October 19, 2010
Unused and easily accessible medicines have the potential to be misused and abused by anyone entering a home—including teens and young adults.
Actress and parent advocate Catherine Hicks is making a national appeal to Americans to take
personal responsibility for properly storing and disposing of prescription medicines to help
prevent them from falling into the wrong hands. Hicks has joined forces with the National
Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) and Purdue Pharma L.P. to launch Safeguard My
Meds, a new education initiative that offers information about simple yet important steps that
can be taken in the home to protect prescription medicine.
A new national survey shows that while an overwhelming majority of Americans (94%) say that
it is extremely or very important to safely store and dispose of prescription medicine, many may
not be doing everything they can to protect their medicines.2 More than two-thirds (68%) of
those surveyed indicated that they keep prescription medicine in an unlocked cabinet, closet or
drawer in their household.2 Respondents most frequently said they store prescription medicine
in the bathroom (53%) and kitchen (49%)—two potentially vulnerable, high-traffic areas where
unsecured medications could be accessed by anyone entering the home.2
"As the parent of a teenager, I know how important this issue is. Every day, more than 2,500
teenagers abuse prescription medicine for the first time3, and they often don't even need to
leave the house to find medicine to abuse," noted Hicks. "When we keep prescription medicine
in our homes, we have a personal responsibility to safeguard that medicine. We can all make a
difference by storing and disposing of our medicine in the right way."
Government statistics show that 70% of people age 12 and older who abused prescription pain
relievers say they got them from a friend or relative.1 One in five U.S. high school students say
they have abused a prescription medicine at least once in their lives.4
"When used as directed, prescription medicines play an important role in treating a wide range
of medical conditions. Patients must have access to prescription medicine, but with that access
comes responsibility," said Keith Hodges, RPh, of the National Community Pharmacists
Association. "Through the Safeguard My Meds campaign, we hope that more Americans will
understand how critical it is to safely store their medicines in their homes."
Hicks, NCPA and Purdue want the public to know there are many ways to safeguard prescription medicines. For instance, medicines at greater risk of being abused—such as pain relievers, tranquilizers, stimulants and depressants—should be kept in locked storage containers. These medicines are targets for theft, so extra precautions should be taken. Other measures include taking an inventory of prescription medicines in the home at least twice a year; storing medicines in a cool, dry place out of the reach of children and pets; and never sharing prescription medicine with anyone else. October is American Pharmacists Month and a great time to ask your community pharmacist about your prescription drugs. As medication experts, community pharmacists can help patients get the most benefit from their medicine and can help ensure safe and proper handling of medications, from dispensing to disposal.
Information on safe medicine storage, along with a variety of downloadable print, video and online materials with valuable tips can be found at www.SafeguardMyMeds.org. Visitors to the site can also take the Personal Responsibility Pledge and make a commitment to safeguard their prescription medicine and help keep it out of the wrong hands.
About the Survey
The survey was conducted by Opinion Research Corporation—Infogroup/ORC, a national research firm on behalf of the National Community Pharmacists Association and Purdue Pharma to assess knowledge and behavior about prescription medicine safety and disposal. Telephone interviews among a projectable national sample of 1,010 adults, including 503 men and 507 women 18 years of age and older, living in private households in the continental United States, were conducted between August 27-30, 2010. The margin of error for results based on the entire sample of 1,010 is plus or minus three percentage points.
The National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA®) represents America's community pharmacists, including the owners of more than 22,700 independent community pharmacies, pharmacy franchises, and chains. Together they represent an $88 billion health-care marketplace, employ over 65,000 pharmacists, and dispense over 40% of all retail prescriptions. To learn more go to www.ncpanet.org or read NCPA's blog, The Dose, at http://ncpanet.wordpress.com.
Purdue Pharma L.P. and its associated U.S. companies are privately-held pharmaceutical companies known for pioneering research on pain. Headquartered in Stamford, CT, Purdue Pharma is engaged in the research, development, production, and distribution of both prescription and over-the-counter medicine and hospital products.

ok Thank you for your help ! It was great !
You're right! I'd forgotten that one. Ok. You have them all.
But for the semi-cylinder, you didn't count the rectangle ????
OK. Then I will assume that the original Russian also meant plane ie. flat surface.
Yes, I copied the question word for word
And the word used is definitely 'plane'?
Well, it's originaly a russian book, but it's in english. (If I understood correctly your question?)
I'm still not sure. What language was the question written in?
ok, so i've got half a cylinder. which is composed of two half a circle and one rectangle.
I've just edited my post by adding two links.
Well yes that's it. If we decompose it, we get 3 surfaces.
Two: cone
I'm not sure what the question means exactly. What did you get for the others?
Give examples of geometric solids bounded by one, two ,three , four planes (or parts of planes)

Grace in LA Rhinestone Skinny Stretch Jean 2 2
Cute but... These pants are very cute, but when I sit down the stones on the pants hurt my butt!!! LOL! Also since the stones are so large, it leaves dents on the leather seats in my car and my couch! Other than that, I like how they look! October 28, 2013
Mrs Grandaughter (17 yrs old) wanted a pair so bad, we bought her a pair. She has only wore them 1 time. She has lost so many rhinestones! Very disappointing. She liked the pants because of all the rhinestones on the pants & belt loops. All of them on the belt loops fell off as she was putting her belt thru on the very first time to wear them. By the end of the day "several" others fell off. This is why we bought this pair & cannot afford to buy anymore, let alone this pair. May 10, 2013

Perfectly Legal
The Covert Campaign to Rig Our Tax System to Benefit the Super Rich--and Cheat Everybody Else
David Cay Johnston - Author
- eBook - ePub eBook: $13.99
Whether your family makes $30,000 of $300,000, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter reveals why you are being robbed to subsidize people who nake millions
Now updated with a new prologue!
Since the mid-1970s, there has been a dramatic shift in America's socioeconomic system, one that has gone virtually unnoticed by the general public. Tax policies and their enforcement have become a disaster, and thanks to discreet lobbying by a segment of the top 1 percent, Washington is reluctant or unable to fix them. The corporate income tax, the estate tax, and the gift tax have been largely ignored by the media. But the cumulative results are remarkable: today someone who earns a yearly salary of $60,000 pays a larger percentage of his income in taxes than the four hundred richest Americans.
Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter David Cay Johnston exposes exactly how the middle class is being squeezed to create a widening wealth gap that threatens the stability of the country. By relating the compelling tales of real people across all areas of society, he reveals the truth behind:
Johnston has been breaking pieces of this story on the front page of The New York Times for seven years. With Perfectly Legal, he puts the whole shocking narrative together in a way that will stir up media attention and make readers angry about the state of our country.
Chapter 1: Taxes - They're Not for Everyone
"Truly shocking." —The New York Times Book Review
"Readers should take their blood pressure pills." —The Dallas Morning News
"Everyone who wants to understand what's happening with the tax system should read Perfectly Legal ... by David Cay Johnston, who shows how idealogues have made America safe for wealthy people who don't feel like paying taxes." —Paul Krugman, The New York Times
"Even if you suspected all along that the system favors the rich, you're going to be shocked to learn just how badly you're being screwed." —Greg Palast, author of The Best Democracy Money Can Buy
"Want to know how business execs get nearly free peraonal trips on their corporate jets? Johnston is your man." —Business Week
"This is a book that will either shame us or prod us into taking back the system." —Ralph Nader

text: In order to realise sustainable growth, it is important that we collaborate with our customers and forge new partnerships. We work with retailers to ensure our products are as accessible as possible to shoppers everywhere. Customers and sustainabilityWe work hard to continually expand our retail network to allow us to reach a wider, and increasingly diverse, shopper base. With our existing customers we seek to improve the way we work together to make our joint operations more efficient and effective.In recent years sustainability has become a much bigger part of our relationship with all of our retailers. We have found many opportunities, both through industry programmes and through one-on-one activities, to improve the sustainability of our business and to help shoppers adopt more sustainable lifestyles.Our network of retail customersOur products reach shoppers through a network of customers, from multinational retailers, wholesalers and distributors to small independent shops.International retailers such as Walmart, Tesco, Carrefour and Metro have market leadership in the US and Europe and also have a growing presence in developing markets. Around a fifth of our worldwide sales are channelled through ten major retail chains but we also sell products through a more diverse group of distributors, wholesalers and millions of small independent outlets and kiosks, particularly in developing and emerging countries.Unilever has a long history of working in both developed and developing markets and our combination of global scale and local market knowledge positions us well to help all retailers, large and small, to meet the needs of their shoppers.Our approachUnilever is now in the third year of a five-year strategic plan for working better with retail customers. Our aim is to work with the best retailers across our markets, to help build mutual, sustainable growth and to meet the needs of our consumers.The importance of retailers is recognised at all levels of the company. Both our CEO Paul Polman, and our Chief Operating Officer, Harish Manwani, regularly meet with the CEOs and boards of our major customers.The strategic plan for working with retail customers addresses our engagement with customers as well as our internal capabilities and organisation. Some examples of activities that are included in the plan are:Creating channel differentiationConsumer buying patterns around the world continue to change. This is reflected, for example, in the growth of 'e-commerce' and the resurgence of convenience stores.Addressing the needs of different types of retail channels requires us to take a flexible and responsive approach. To do this we have developed channel-specific strategies.Sharing insights & innovationsThe success of our first Customer Insight and Innovation Centre (CiiC) in New Jersey has led to the establishment of six more state-of-the-art centres in London, Paris, Singapore, Shanghai, Sao Paulo and Mumbai.These centres provide the opportunity to work more closely with retailers around the world to trial new strategies for merchandising, displays and packaging without having to run in-store pilots which are costly and time consuming.We host more than 300 meetings a year with retail customers at these Centres.The Perfect StoreOur Perfect Store programme is based on the concept that for every variation in geography and outlet size, from a US superstore to a small-town independent in China, there is an optimal merchandising layout for best meeting shoppers' needs and presenting Unilever brands. It is a repeatable model which ensures the right products are available in stores and are marketed clearly to shoppers.A better shopping experience leads to improved sales growth, as shoppers purchase our products more frequently. The programme has led us to develop our understanding of what works in different channels and store formats, and also encouraged us to develop a range of new IT systems to facilitate measurement of key parameters, that is improving the way we do business and helping us stand out from the competition.In 2012 we supported the development of two million Perfect Stores and extended our programme to more than 30 new markets. This means that at the end of 2012 we had five million Perfect Stores in 75 markets – and we aim to have 20 million.Next, we will roll out the next generation of the programme, Perfect Store 2.0, aimed at improving the way we market our brands to shoppers, improving shelf stand-out and ensuring we give shoppers more reasons to choose our brands in-store.Working with our customers on sustainabilityWe estimate that 68% of our greenhouse gas impact comes from consumers using our products. We help customers engage with shoppers and consumers to adopt more sustainable lifestyles. An increasing number of our retail customers, both large and small, are now working to embed sustainability into their business.They are setting ambitious targets in areas such as energy use, greenhouse gas emissions and waste. These targets impact their suppliers, including Unilever. This in turn has an impact on our own suppliers.We welcome this increased focus on sustainability from retailers. Retailers can be powerful drivers for improving sustainability knowledge and performance across a wide range of companies and sectors.Our long-standing activities in the area of sustainability give us an opportunity not only to respond to the growing requirements of retail customers, but to share our expertise and explore opportunities for joint initiatives.We are increasingly engaging with retailers (and with our peer companies) on sustainability, sharing our knowledge in areas such as sustainable agriculture, and measuring the lifecycle impacts of products. We work together to deliver innovative in-store programmes that help to educate and engage shoppers.Working with our retail customers – large and smallWe have sustainability programmes underway with many of our large customers. For example, we have recently launched a joint programme with Walmart that will help 200 million shoppers every week make sustainable choices that are good for them, good for their community and good for the planet.The programme, called The Living Project, started in 2012 and has now been implemented in Walmart stores in Brazil, China, and the US. The programme helps shoppers by:identifying small changes that our brands can enable Walmart shoppers to makecreating offers that inspire and enable shoppers to make that changebuilding in a mechanism to track the small actions of shoppers to show them how they make a big difference.Walmart is our largest retail customer and the biggest retailer in the world. But we also work with the smallest retailers.Our Shakti door-to-door selling operation started in India helping female entrepreneurs build small businesses through taking Unilever's brands into rural environments not served by the usual retail network.We operate similar schemes in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Vietnam which we are committed to expanding, thus creating employment and enhancing the livelihoods for thousands more entrepreneurs as well as bringing our quality brands to the hardest to reach consumers.For the last three years, we have worked on 'A Better Future Begins at Home', a joint shopper programme with retailer Tesco, to encourage sustainable behaviour. It combines advice with promotions around our brands, all carrying a strong sustainability message.By rewarding shoppers for making more sustainable choices, it is educating them in how small actions can make a big difference both to the environment and to their wallet. So far the programme has been implemented in nine markets from the UK to China. As well as growing our sales, it has delivered benefits ranging from consumers recycling more to people planting trees in the local community.Working as an industry on sustainabilityWe actively engage in industry programmes at national, regional and global levels to help the industry as a whole bring about positive change.The Consumer Goods ForumThe Consumer Goods Forum (CGF) is an industry association that brings together over 400 retailers, manufacturers, service providers and other stakeholders across 70 countries.The CGF is governed by a board of 50 CEOs from the most important retailers and manufacturers in our industry. This includes major companies headquartered in Europe and America as well as companies headquartered in Asia, Latin America and Africa. The companies range from global businesses, such as Carrefour, Walmart, Coca-Cola and Unilever, to national leaders such as Sobeys from Canada and Pick 'n Pay from South Africa.The CGF aims to help the industry improve the way it meets the changing needs of the world's consumers. It does this through increasing industry collaboration on non-competitive matters, to bring efficiency and simplicity for our consumers and through supporting the exchange of knowledge and good practices.Our CEO, Paul Polman sits on the board of the CGF.Taking action on sustainability issuesSustainability is one of the Forum's focus areas and Paul Polman and Phil Clark, CEO of Tesco are co-sponsors of the sustainability programme.For example, a Global Packaging Protocol, which provides companies with a framework and common language to discuss the role of packaging in sustainability and includes a glossary of commonly used sustainability terms, was published in early 2012.The board of the Consumer Goods Forum endorsed two resolutions proposed by Paul Polman:The first was to eliminate deforestation from the supply chains of all member companies by 2020.The second was an agreement to begin phasing-out hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants from 2015 and to replace them with 'natural' refrigerants that have a much lower global warming potential.The Forum is working to achieve both goals using a combination of individual company initiatives and by working in partnership with NGOs.GS1GS1 is a global federation of national organisations that support our industry through setting standards and supporting services that improve efficiencies in our cross-industry supply chain. This includes, for example, the standards used for product identification through the on-pack barcode system.Unilever actively supports the work of GS1 through participation on the board of many of the national organisations.The Efficient Consumer Response (ECR) MovementThe ECR movement started in the mid-1990s to help our industry collectively improve our service to consumers. Unilever has actively supported the ECR movement since its inception.Jan Zijderveld, President of Unilever Europe, was appointed as co-chair of ECR Europe in 2012. Responsible business is a cornerstone of the new strategy that Jan Zijderveld and his co-chair, Thomas Hübner from Carrefour are driving in ECR.External recognitionWe believe that customer satisfaction is the single most important measure of success for us in the marketplace. And customers are more satisfied with us than ever. In 2012, Unilever was named supplier of the year in the drug store channel - in Boots and Superdrug (UK), Rite Aid (US), Shoppers DrugMart (Canada) and Farmacias Benavides (Mexico).Meanwhile, in emerging markets in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, we were rated the number one supplier in seven markets. In Brazil and Argentina, our most important markets in Latin America, we are frequently evaluated in the top three, while in the UK Unilever was named supplier of the year by almost all our customers.

Mon. - Sun. 11am - 2am
Neighborhoods: Elizabeth
Karaoke! – I love the karaoke there. It's very fun to do and even just watch. The people are always friendly and the crowd is laid back as opposed to most bars and clubs.
Great neighborhood hangout – Local staple bar and restaurant with a big menu with lots of salads, burgers, wraps and appetizers. Casual atmosphere is comfortable for everyone from flip flops to suits. Great place to meet up with friends and have some beers.
Good for lunch – The food is alright. Service is O.K. It's somewhat overpriced. Seems to be on average a 30 to 40 minute wait for your food at lunch time. Do not recommed going for dinner because the wait for a table is very lengthy and then longer to get your food. Not much to choose from on the menu. Every time I have had the chicken it has been very dry. This would be one of the last places I would go to eat unless you have extra cash to waste and have plenty of time to just do nothing.

text: Trait Development Accelerated with Partnership Modular Genetics Inc. and Monsanto agreement gives Monsanto an exclusive license to use MGI's platform for use in agricultural applications. Compiled by staff Published on: Mar 15, 2005 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Monsanto will be able to accelerate its ability to identify and develop new traits for platforms like agronomic traits, enhanced nutritional content and improved yield properties with a new collaborative relationship made with Modular Genetics Inc. (MGI). MGI has developed and patented breakthrough protein optimization platforms, which are used for the screening, identification and assembly of proteins for research. As part of the three-year collaboration, Monsanto will gain an exclusive license to use MGI's platform for use in agricultural applications. Robert T. Fraley, executive vice president and chief technology officer of Monsanto, says, "Access to MGI's high-capacity protein optimization platform will help us advance projects more quickly and efficiently through our discovery pipeline, ultimately leading to the ability to offer more products to more farmers." Kevin A. Jarrell, co-founder, president and chief scientific officer of MGI, says the company has worked hard to develop technology that it believes takes a new approach to protein optimization. "We're excited to have the opportunity to build on the work we've done in the pharmaceutical sector and apply our technology in the agricultural arena." The collaboration includes the establishment of a research facility in Cambridge, Mass., where a team of Monsanto researchers will coordinate Monsanto's protein optimization program. Additionally, MGI will relocate its business and research headquarters to the new Cambridge facility.

Senate Climate Bill Drops Emissions Credit Proposal
Senate Climate Bill Drops Emissions Credit Proposal
CEI Congratulates Hagel, Cosponsors
April 28, 2005
Contact:<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Marlo Lewis, 202.669.6693
Christine Hall, 202.331.2258
<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Washington, D.C., April 28, 2005—This week Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE) introduced a revised version of his climate bill, the "Climate Change Technology Deployment and Infrastructure Credit Act of 2005." This version omits provisions to award regulatory credits for registered greenhouse gas emission reductions applicable to a future Kyoto-style cap-and-trade program. This system would inadvertently build a corporate clientele for Kyoto-type energy rationing, because the credits attain full market value only under a legally binding emissions reduction target or "cap."
The Competitive Enterprise Institute congratulates Senators Hagel and his cosponsors, Senators Larry Craig (R-ID), Mary Landrieu (D-LA), Lamar Alexander (R-TN), Mark Pryor (D-AR), Elizabeth Dole (R-NC) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), for removing transferable credits from their bill. "We never doubted that when the sponsors understood the political and economic perils of an early credit program, they would drop the troubling provisions. They have done so. We applaud them," said CEI Senior Fellow Marlo Lewis.
The move comes one month after the Department of Energy, in a rulemaking to revise the voluntary reporting of greenhouse gases program, made clear that it ha no authority under current law to create an emissions credit program on its own. "We're pleased all the key players are now on the same page," Lewis said.
