Addiction is a persistent dependence on a harmful behavior or substance. It can disrupt the ability to listen to the Spirit and limit agency. Many who struggle with an addiction suffer from shame or a sense that they are unlovable. They may feel discouragement and despair that recovery is not possible. Yet with God, nothing is impossible (see Luke 1:37). All can be healed and protected through Jesus Christ and His Atonement.
"Addiction has the capacity to disconnect the human will and nullify moral agency" (Boyd K. Packer, "Revelation in a Changing World," October 1989 general conference).
"For those of you who have fallen prey to any kind of addiction, there is hope because God loves all of His children and because the Atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ makes all things possible.
"I have seen the marvelous blessing of recovery that can set one free from the chains of addiction. The Lord is our Shepherd, and we shall not want as we trust in the power of the Atonement. I know the Lord can and will free the addicted from their bondage, for as the Apostle Paul proclaimed, 'I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me' (Philippians 4:13)" (M. Russell Ballard, "O That Cunning Plan of the Evil One," Oct. 2010 general conference).

If you've ever searched for a good property manager in Cost of , then you know how difficult it can be to find a good one for your rental property. There are several property managers out there, probably more than what you really need to bring your property into the market.
With so many choices available, you may find it difficult to choose one for your unit. But don't worry – if you ask the right questions while shopping around for property managers, you'll get a better idea of who would make the best fit for your property. Ask them these questions when discussing your property to see if they're the right property manager for you:
1. What type of properties have you managed?
Experience counts for a lot in property management, and it can separate the good ones from the ones you should steer away from. Experience in this field, however, isn't just about the number of years worked in the field; it's also about what type of properties they've managed. Depending on what type of property you have, you can either go with someone who specialises in managing properties like yours or someone who has more varied experience managing different types of properties.
2. How do you screen potential tenants?
Some have small sign-up fees but a variety of hidden fees once you sign on and let them manage your property. Avoid getting surprised by such fees, and ask them to indicate all management and service fees included in their service. The more complicated their fee structure is, the bigger the headache (and expense) it will likely be.
9. What can you do that others can't?
This is where prospective property managers will try to sell you on what they offer and how well they set themselves apart from the competition. It's also the part where you assess the intangibles in any working relationship, giving you a better idea of how well they meet your standards. Listen well, take notes, and assess why they use property management companies.
How Do you Select Best Property Management Company in Cost of ?
I can not tell you how many times in the beginning of my property management career a prospective tenant called and caught me unprepared. I quickly learned I saved 5 to 10 hours a week and rented more houses by being well prepared. Here are my best tips.
1) Application Forms
A property manager should carry at least 50 blank rental applications with him at all times. Quite often, you will find yourself listing a new rental house and have no applications to place in the kitchen. You want to have applications in the house so you are not always running to your car during a showing.
The property management company should also have the rental application saved on the computer in a format that can be emailed to your clients quickly. You do not want to limit yourself to just faxing or having them pick up the form from you. This is very quick and painless.
6) Pens and Business Cards
It is embarrassing to not have either one on a listing or leasing appointment. Professionalism is found in the details.
7) Organizer to Carry Everything
You can buy an organizer at Office Depot or Staples that can store all the items listed above. Some people prefer a briefcase but I personally use a black plastic box with hanging folders. Use whatever suits you but just have it all in one place in your car
Note: A prepared property manager will create an automatic task in Outlook or a Day Planner to refill all the items once a month. Getting organized is useless for your property management company, if you do not have a follow-up system to ensure you stay organized.
How to Start a Property Management Business
Property management means exactly what it is; control, or management of a certain property on behalf of an owner. This industry has expanded in the last years bringing about the need of more project managers. If you are looking into working as a property manager, there are certain skills and attributes that you should take into consideration. Remember that as someone who manages properties, you will be given the sole responsibility of entrustment that is why if you are serious in joining this industry; you should have the following traits.
1. Knowledgeable with the governing laws. A good manager is one who understands and is knowledgeable about the many laws and ordinances of a specific area. This is important so as to avoid any conflict with regards to the management of real estate and other properties. Certain laws may vary from cities, which is why understanding them and knowing how they work will best work to your advantage. It is always good to be in the know.
5. Willing to grow. You should not only limit yourself to a particular field. Bear in mind that the industry of property management will only grow in the next couple of years due to the fact that more and more people are expanding their properties. As a good property manager, you should be able to ride the tide of property management and consider your professional growth. This will not only be beneficial in terms of your career, but will also reflect in the kind of service you deliver.
When considering working in the property management, it is always best to review your skills and qualifications in order for you to assess your personal capabilities. Bear in mind the above characteristics, in order to be a great property manager.
What is a Property Manager?
As a property manager, there are many positives and negatives with this job. As with any job you make it what you want. There are days that are longer and more difficult then others.There are many regulations you need to know and must be a relator. If you want to start this business you need to know exactly what it entails.You will need to be licensed by the sales tax agency if they charge sales tax on the monthly rent. You need to have one for each town you are doing business in. It is extremely helpful that you are well versed in repairing things or have a good list of contractors available for repairs. Your life will be so much easier if you can determine what repair needs your immediate attention, what can wait until the next business day. You need to be a people person, since you do meet people from all walks of life.
8. Tracking expenditures for repairs. Getting authorization from the owner as needed.
9. Establishing advertisements daily, with at least seven free website for any vacancies.
10. Show available properties, screen potential tenants, while maintaining the laws against discrimination.
The job can be a 24/7 day business. You set the hours. It is hard to predict when a client may need a repair. Keep in mind that the owner has the right to cancel the property management agreement. This has not happened to me I still have the same customers for the last seven years and continue to grow.
Why you ask, I believe it is that I handle this like a business while maintaining contact with the owners on an as needed basis.

You've connected the Kinect sensor to your Xbox One console using the Kinect cable, and the sensor's power LED is on. However, the sensor isn't working. When you check the Kinect screen from Kinect & devices, it says the sensor isn't connected. When this happens, it means that, even though your sensor has power, it's not being recognized by your console.
To resolve this problem, try the following solutions.
Solution 1: Confirm that the Kinect sensor is firmly connected via cable to the console
- Make sure the Kinect cable is securely connected to the Kinect adapter, and that the adapter's power cord is plugged in.
- Plug the USB cable from the Kinect adapter into the first USB port (the one next to the HDMI ports).
Note Your Kinect will only be recognized when it's plugged into the first USB port on the back of the console. The other USB ports on the console will not work with Kinect.
Also, for best practice, make sure your Kinect sensor and Kinect adapter are not sitting directly on top of your console.
- Plug the cable back into the Kinect sensor port.
Solution 2: Confirm that the Kinect sensor is turned on in the Kinect settings
Solution 3: Reset the Kinect sensor's connection to the Xbox One console
Note If your sensor needs an update, the screen will indicate that an update is in progress.
If the solutions above didn't resolve the problem, your Kinect sensor needs to be repaired. Request a repair at Device service and repair. Console registration is required to replace the sensor.
Thanks for your feedback!

Last week we had our first meeting of the Itty-Bitty Artists. We had 5 boys and 1 girl attend. The age range was 18 mos - 4 years. We began with finger painting. We gave each child a large piece of finger paint paper and asked them which colors (blue, yellow, red, and green) he/she would like to use. We put dabs of those colors on his/her paper. The children then began finger painting. It was fun to watch how different children and different ages responded.
After a few minutes, we showed the children how they could use plastic forks and toy cars to make prints in the finger paint. This was a huge hit! I especially recommend this for children who have sensory disorders.
We did not stop the children while they were creating. As each child finished, we helped him clean up. He/she was then able to choose a free play activity. We had Legos, blocks, puzzles, books, toy cars, plastic animals, etc. set out.
I intended to serve snack when everyone was finished finger painting. However, Wes had his own set of plans. He brought out the orange and black play dough and Halloween shaped cookie cutters that I had recently purchased. Needless to say, we began a second art session. The older children seemed to like playing with the dough more than the younger children. I believe this is because their fine motor skills are more developed, making it easier (and more fun) to manipulate the dough.
I thought it was interesting that one of the little boys picked up the toy cars (we had used during finger painting) and used them to create tracks in the dough. It is so cool that he made the connection ~ tracks in paint was cool, so let's try tracks in dough!
This week, we will be mixing yellow and red tempera paints to create orange. We will use the orange paint (as well as black) to make Halloween cookie cutter prints. If time permits, we will also paint with fall nature items: large leaves, twigs, acorns, pinecones, etc.
So, what art experiences have you and your little ones had this week?
What Is Itty-Bitty Artists?
Itty-Bitty Artists is an art play group that I have started with some other moms in and around my neighborhood. However, it is also a new linky carnival I will host each Tuesday here at Raising Itty-Bitty Bookworms. Each Tuesday I will share pictures of what the children created during our art group. I will also share plans about what we will be doing at future group meetings. I would love for you to participate in this fun blog carnival by linking up!
Itty-Bitty Artists Participation
- Who can participate? Anyone! You do not have to belong to an art group to participate. If you do art with your child at home, please share your experiences. You can also choose to follow along with us and do the activities that we are doing.
- Feel free to share current or past art experiences in which your child(ren) have participated.
- Please include a link back here to my blog in your post.
- You do not have to, but it would be greatly appreciated:-) if you used an Itty-Bitty Artists button in your post--you can grab one from my sidebar.

Who else saw Michael Finley lace up his old sky-flyers and cram a huge piece of meat down Ericka Dampier's throat during Game 5 of the Dallas/SA series???!!
Am I not alone when I say that I didn't think Finley had it in him anymore? Don't get me wrong; I knew he was still a damn good player, but I took him as more of a jump shooter these days (with very little springs left to jam over 7-footers). Thankfully, I was wrong.
Major props to Mike for flushing that stack of pancakes off Dampier's face! What a slam!

Problem with comparing Bleach and Naruto is that both series have yet to be resolved. Sakura is still infatuated with Sasuke and while Kishimoto has toyed with the idea of romance between Naruto and Sakura, he's also made clear that from chapter one, Sakura has been fixated on one guy. This third wheel is mostly illusionary or possible, but never quite materialises from my experience. We simply don't know if Rukia's feelings for Ichigo are romantic, and that's what Kubo will play on to keep the triangle breathing. To keep a love triangle energetic in a shonen, the author has to be deliberatly equivocal and ambiguous. If there really is any romance in Bleach or Naruto, it will be towards the very end. In that sense, it might be unwise to compare two unfinished products.
I don't know about you, but I have yet to see a proper love triagle in a popular shonen manga. I agree that all it takes is Rukia showing some romantic interest and it's game over for Orihime, but that's a huge step to take for Kubo. He'll be going into unnatural territory for a shounen which has now resorted to back-to-back fights.

Yeah, I know, I was aware of the "flaws" of that comparison but like I said I just brought it up for the sake of discussion. Both series are two of the most popular anime/manga series to date and both are still not finished yet so we're free to speculate of how they will turn out.
Personally, I would prefer if there weren't any love angles in both series. There's already too much going on in their plots that adding romance would further complicate things. I wouldn't be surprised if Bleach ended up with both Rukia and Orihime by his side with them neither being more than friends he couldn't live without. Both are essential to the story and both are important to Ichigo as a character. Orihime has always been his biggest supporter, she will die fighting by his side if she has to. And Rukia has always been and will always be the person he could trust the most and who understands him the most that without her he seems lost. I actually like their relationships as is. I hope it stays that way.

Well, we could compare Bleach to Dragonball Z... in which Goku frequently abandoned his wife to go have fights. Ichigo loves to fight as much or more than Goku, so I see a similar fate for whoever becomes his wife.
As for me, I'm hoping for some romance between Ichigo and Orihime. Partly to see if Kubo is balsy enough to push foward with what he started in chapter 237 or if he'll fall back in line...but mostly because I enjoy their interaction (it's sweet and cute). Of course by now I fully understand how popular Ichigo and Rukia is and that I'm rooting for the underdog, at least in terms of popularity. Although I guess both are underdogs in this genre.

I guess if I have to choose between Rukia and Orihime, I'd pick Rukia. While you might like the sweetness in Ichigo and Orihime's interaction, I kind of like the rough and casual interaction between Ichigo and Rukia. They make me laugh. I like it when they bicker and act all violent. I've known quite a few real couples that started out as "fighting buddies", turns out it was all foreplay. It's called flirting by bickering. They may fight and argue like crazy but when it comes down to it, they both care for one another (whether it's just platonic or romantic).

She said in a nutshell "Don't beat yourself up because you can't be to him what Rukia is. You can still be someone important to him. A friend! You are really cool because you aren't a hateful petty bitch about it. Dry your eyes! That is still love" (Just not in love)
Really that is what she meant...
I have seen proper love triangles. Then I have seen it's obvious ..."You will never get him"
Absolute Boyfriend by Yuu Watase. has the best one. Either guy is WIN! (They are both hot as all fuck!) neither one is better for her than other. In the end everyone gets what they want anyway. It's a Shoujo but just like FGY. It won't matter. The only Manga I ever saw where the guy was not bound by Anime law of "Uninteruptable Metamorphosis" READ IT NAO! (If you haven't)
You know what's funny. I love IchiRuki but only because it's clear Ichigo is in love with Rukia. Orihime's will never come to fruition.
I don't like Orihime that much. that's putting mildly
But I really like Ulquihime! I find them the most romantic of the two although IchiRuki is my OTP. Weird huh?

Well do you honestly think Kubo intended for Matsumoto to mean that? I mean he isn't really a writer that makes us dig deep especially for romance, what's there is there! No hidden or secret message to it.

Spoiler for Manga 317 pg 19:
I feel, " I hope" Orihime is accepting her relationship with her friends all of them, especially Ichigo... but we will see as the amine plays it out...

- Orihime getting over her feelings for Ichigo.
- Rukia's character to tie back in with Aizen's. The pot driver.
Then this foundation can be of use. Right now it's there but disconnected.

I concur. Kubo's art is nice to look at though and Bleach has a fairly good story for a shonen action manga that's over 100 chapters. It fails at times just because every single character gets their moment and to be honest, I could care less about half the cast.

Its a Man's World.
Ok this one is a little stranger than the last, but hear me out. It's been inspired yet another movie, Albert Nobbs, starring Glenn Close. If you haven't seen it basically its a story of a woman in 19th century Dublin, who takes on the guise of a man in order to make a living for herself as a butler. The story got me thinking - I wonder if any women live this way in modern society? And if there is, how successful are they? Maybe Bill Gates was really a woman in disguise???
Anyway, I created these scenarios whereby women have tressed themselves up man-style and not only lived their lives as men but have gone on to be incredibly successful in their chosen male-dominated fields. A bit of social commentary on my part because as we all know, gender equality hasn't quite reached it peak.
Of course, I'm not one to take fashion or myself too seriously so of course this has a tongue in cheek side to it... I can't really believe a babe like Kirsten McMenamy could dress like a dude and fool everyone up to a CEO's position... fashion is fantasy.
The Casting
This was a tricky one to cast... the models not only need to be quite androgynous but also not too young in the face. I'm guessing a few make-up tricks would need to be employed to make it really seem genuine. I think Kristen, Stella and Kirsten would all look amazing stomping around in menswear.
The Styling
A few notes on the styling, firstly the Miu Miu outfit would need a plain shirt not a patterned one... and the Driller's outfit? Definitely needs to be complimented with a fluro visibility vest for authenticity. The cowboy attire could probably do with a trouser instead of those suede 'happy pants'.
I actually picture a second black and white image to compliment each shot of this editorial, depicting each woman relaxing into their feminity at home after a long days work alongside the boys, maybe wearing lingerie or slipping into a robe, filing their toe nails or watching sex and the city. A kind of juxtaposition. Could work.

Chile Wrap: Rios, Sosa hand Catolica victory
Universidad Catolica maintained their two-point advantage atop the Chile Primera Division as the tight battle at the top continued.
Michael Rios and Ismael Sosa struck in the final 11 minutes for Universidad Catolica, who recorded a 2-0 win over Santiago Wanderers.
It saw them stay two points clear at the top as O'Higgins, Cobresal and Universidad Chile all secured wins.
Pablo Hernandez's 45th-minute goal was all O'Higgins needed at Universidad Concepcion to clinch a 1-0 win.
Cobresal also claimed a 1-0 win but left it much later as Alvaro Navarro struck five minutes before full-time to see his side edge past Huachipato and stay four points adrift.
Universidad Chile were the most convincing of the top four in their 3-0 victory at Deportes Iquique.
Charles Aranguiz was on the scoresheet once in each half before Isaac Diaz completed the scoring on 80 minutes.
Cobreloa have fallen six points behind the league leaders after a third straight loss, beaten 2-1 at Colo Colo.
Felipe Flores' 90th-minute goal gave Colo Colo their second consecutive league win and saw Cobreloa slip to fifth.
Union Espanola came from behind to beat Palestino 2-1 and Union La Calera were 2-0 victors at home to Everton.

This being August and all, I thought I'd appeal to this august group with an issue I'm having on my 1971 R75/5.
Over the last 6 months or so, my starter didn't always engage when I pressed the starter button, but by being more deliberate or pushing the button in a slightly different position, could start the bike. Now even this doesn't work so I figured a little cleaning was in order. I removed the two screws holding the switch to the handlebar, and pulled the switch away from the housing just far enough to visually inspect the wires - no obvious broken wires - and I sprayed some contact cleaner and compressed air around the wires. I still had nothing when the starter button was depressed, so I put it back together, kick started the bike and went for a ride. About an hour later I stopped for gas and thought the idiot lights looked a little dim and the turn signals didn't blink steadily. On the way home the bike sputtered a few times and eventually quit on me. I somehow got the bike restarted and made it home and noticed a weak headlight - I had turned it off for the ride home suspecting an electrical issue, and no tail or brake light. A voltmeter showed a dead battery. I charged the battery overnight - voltmeter read 12.4 or thereabouts, and I went for a ride closer to home and had the same issue - within 30 minutes or so, the headlight was dimmer and the blinkers didn't blink.
Believing in the "what did you do last?" theory of troubleshooting, is it possible that the issue is related to something I did when I removed the starter button? When the starter button worked intermittently, I did not have this problem. I'm a pretty novice mechanic, especially when it comes to electrical issues, but wonder how to proceed. I figure I should replace the switch, but would like to know how to proceed so I can go farther than an hour from home until I replace the switch.

Wikipedia on the Network Effect:
In economics and business, a network effect (also called network externality or demand-side economies of scale) is the effect that one user of a good or service has on the value of that product to other people. When network effect is present, the value of a product or service increases as more people use it.
The classic example is the telephone. The more people own telephones, the more valuable the telephone is to each owner. This creates a positive externality because a user may purchase a telephone without intending to create value for other users, but does so in any case. Online social networks work in the same way, with sites like Twitter and Facebook being more useful the more users join.
below, keep in mind the power of the "network effect" which exponentially increases the value of a service or product as more people use it, often creating universal standards where there were none. This is how:
- Microsoft became the de facto desktop installation,
- how Google became the de facto search engine (people Google things, they don't search for things)
- how the Apple iPod became the de facto portable media player platform,
- how Facebook became the de facto social netwowk, etc.
Google is on track to become the '90s version of Microsoft on the connected smartphone., basically the de facto standard of mobile computing and communications, yet it is still valued as a search engine - see Google's Q1 2011 Review: Part 2 Of My Comments On The Gross Misvaluation of Google. Google's innovative business models and outright acquisistive aggression has positioned in well for the future. Microsoft, the king of capitalizing on network externalities, now feels sufficiently threatened not just on the mobile computing front, but the enterprise front (which has a significant amount of overlap, as well. Tom Rizzio, a higher up at Microsoft, obviously feels sufficiently threatened to go on the FUD rampage against Google's Google Apps, which is to be expected since that is how the big tech companies operate. The caveat here is that Tom know acknowledges Google as both a signficant threat and a viable competitor in its most lucrative of lucrative franchises. As excerpted from his post on Microsft's Technet blog and more importantly as carried on in the major tech newsrags:
On the surface, Google Apps may seem like acceptable replacements for enterprise-grade products such as Microsoft Exchange Server or Microsoft Office. But many IT organizations have found that Google Apps bring extra, hidden costs. Organizations that have evaluated Google Apps have found that the projected versus actual costs of switching to Google Apps greatly increase their total cost of ownership (TCO). In particular, these IT organizations have found that Google Apps are not enterprise-ready and are inadequate without costly add-on applications, even for most small- and medium-sized organizations. The three general areas where organizations feel the Google Tax most strongly are deployment, IT support costs and user training.
For those who do not subscribe to BoomBustBlog and have not read our forensic valuation of Google (63 pg Forensic Valuation, to plug in your own assumptions see Google Valuation Model (pro and institutional) I urge you to review A Realistic Look At The Success Of Google's Investment History to see the rate of return Google garners from its investments, for it's investing harder now than at anytime in its history and the market mistakenly takes it as a loss of control in expenses.
It is obvious that:
- Nokia (see Nokia/Microsoft Alliance & Android's Commoditization Of The Mobile Computing Platform),
- RIM (see Blackberries Getting Blacked Out, Imitate Amateur Base Jumpers Sans Parachute!),
- Apple (Steve J,obs Calls End Of the PC, We Call The End Of The Fat Margin Tablet – Including The Pretty iPad, With Proof!)
- and Microsoft
fail to view Google as the market does. The reason is that these guys know what time it is. Remember, the market is still valuing Google as a search engine and advertising company. This is how Microsoft is looking at Google and why Tom Rizzio is bitching in the excerpt above...
Google wins legal faceoff with Microsoft over key government contract
Google Inc. won a major victory in a lawsuit against the U.S. Interior Department this week when a federal judge ordered the federal agency to hold off on a request for a bid to upgrade its e-mail system after Google argued that the process favored rival Microsoft Inc.
Susan Braden, a federal judge in Washington, issued a preliminary injunction that blocks the Interior Department from deciding to use Microsoft's e-mail and other software for its 88,000 employees. The order was unsealed Tuesday.
The contract, worth up to $59 million, is part of the federal government's migration to Web software. Google asked for the injuction, arguing that the bidding process was designed with Microsoft products in mind.
Braden ruled that Google had made a preliminary showing that the Interior Department violated rules covering competition in contracting and sent the matter back to the agency. Braden wrote that the injunction served the public interest and prevented "competitive harm" to Google. But she did not find any basis "to support Google's allegations of bad faith."
The Interior Department could appeal Braden's decision or modify the bidding process. A spokeswoman from the agency declined to comment on "ongoing litigation."
The ruling comes as Google and Microsoft compete to win business from federal, state and local governments in the lucrative arena of supplying online e-mail and other software. The Internet search giant is taking on Microsoft in the government market, which Microsoft has long dominated.
This is not Google's only victory in large scale cloud installations against Microsoft. See Google's 'Gov Cloud' Wins $7.2 Million Los Angeles Contract:
Having largely resolved concerns about privacy, cost, and security, the City of Los Angeles has "Gone Google."
The Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday voted unanimously to approve a $7.2 million deal with IT contractor Computer Sciences Corp. to replace the city's existing Novell GroupWise e-mail system with Google Apps, Google's suite of online communication and productivity programs. Microsoft Office licenses will be reduced but not eliminated, as select city workers will continue to use Microsoft's software.
The hotly contested deal calls for shifting about 30,000 city workers over to Google Apps in the next year.
Part of the reason Google won the deal appears to be cost: The City Administrative Officer (CAO) expects "Going Google," to borrow Google's marketing catch-phrase, will cost the City an estimated $17.6 million over five years. Remaining with Novell, the CAO estimated, would cost $23 million.
Smartphones, tablets, de facto desktop search and the cloud combine to make a lethal combination to competitors. Witness the network effect in action and realize exactly how powerful a search engine can be when enough people use it.
The most recent tally from the metrics companies are out and as was expected, Apple's Verizon launch did much in significantly boosting their numbers, but...
... reporting key trends in the U.S. mobile phone industry during the three month average period ending January 2011. The study surveyed more than 30,000 U.S. mobile subscribers and found Samsung to be the top handset manufacturer overall with 24.9 percent market share. Google Android took the lead among smartphone platforms with 31.2 percent market share, after two short months in second place.
OEM Market Share
For the three month average period ending in January, 234 million Americans ages 13 and older used mobile devices. Device manufacturer Samsung ranked as the top OEM with 24.9 percent of U.S. mobile subscribers, up 0.7 percentage points from the three month period ending in October. LG ranked second with 20.8 percent share, followed by Motorola (16.5 percent), RIM (8.6 percent) and Apple (7.0 percent).

Of course, these numbers from Comscore don't take into consideration the full effect of Apple's Verizon iPhone release, which made (by far) the biggest contribution to the best performance I have seen a large company produce, ever. So, let's look at the numbers that do capture the full "free iPhone" effect...
IDC: smartphone market grows 80 percent year-on-year, Samsung shipments rise 350 percent
As you can see, Apple's iPhone launch contributed heavily to a near 115% jump in shipments and a 3 percentage pop in market share. Those are some heady numbers, that, when combined with the RIM's fumbling places then 2nd in smartphone shipments. But... those guys who have been pushing Google's Android have literally grown their shipments several multiples of that of Apple. Samsung up 350%, HTC up 230%!!! Apple's big pop came from its introduction of the iPhone on the nation's second largest carrier. This is a stunt that cannot be replicated for similar results. It does appear that Apple is prepping iPhones for T-Mobile, and maybe even Sprint, but they will not get this same effect. If the Android vendors repeat or increase this rate of growth next quarter (which is the most probably scenarios since both Samsung and HTC have produced phones which are mainly acknowledged to be the best there is by the media) while Nokia and RIM continue their slide (also quite probable - Blackberries Getting Blacked Out, Imitate Amateur Base Jumpers Sans Parachute!), then Samsung will capture the 1 or 2 spot by next quarter while HTC will be in the 2nd spot or 3rds spot just behind Apple.
Remember the power of the network effect. It turns externalities into cold hard cash faster than many would be led to believe by Apple's marketing staff:
- AT&T's Q1 Record Results Show That There Is More Money In Android Than There Ever Was In Apple: How Do You Compete With Less Than Free?
- Verizon's Earnings Confirm The Economic Impact of Android vs iPhone In Regards To Carrier Profitability
If you can't see how Google will monetize Android yet, picture the network effect as Android takes over and Google starts to charge ala Microsoft, et. Windows!

The amount of attention being paid to the current negotiations in Washington DC over the debt ceiling simply baffles me. Granted, if the US government really defaults on its obligations, then the consequences could well be quite severe. But there's no significant chance of that happening--the political risks for all the participants are simply too great. And once that danger is discounted, the negotiations are reduced to nothing more than a large-scale, high-stakes form of bazaar haggling.
Even more ridiculous, though, is the meticulous attention paid to the ten-year projections that accompany each side's proposals. (The projected budget changes--whether cuts or tax increases--attributed to the various plans are always expressed as cumulative over ten years.) For one thing, these numbers depend heavily on economic forecasts that are inevitably off the mark, as often as not by wide margins. For another, the tax rates and expenditures they represent are constantly being tinkered with over time, and could change radically with the next big overhaul of the tax code, one or another major entitlement, or various discretionary programs. Just off the top of my head, for example, I can think of major tax rate changes enacted under every US president since Reagan, and major entitlement program changes under those same presidents, with the possible exception of George H.W. Bush. Thus the likelihood that any of the figures being bandied about will even come close to predicting actual government spending or revenue in any category is simply a fantasy.
Why, then, are these numbers seemingly taken so seriously? My best guess is that they're symbolic of the participating politicians' commitments to their coalitions and constituencies. Republicans are taking a hard stand against tax increases and in favor of budget cuts as a way of demonstrating that they won't betray their supporters--largely white, middle-class blue-collar and small-business voters. Conversely, Democrats, by their adamance in favor of larger tax increases and smaller budget cuts, are demonstrating backbone to their supporters: white-collar professionals, government employees and ethnic/racial minorities.
This show of backbone is particularly important because times are hard, and fear is a much stronger motivator than greed. To a typical voter, a politician who's happy to meet an opponent halfway appears more likely to trade away that particular voter's politically-obtained benefits or advantages, than a politician who will go to the mat on a completely arbitrary debate over a few hundred billion fantasy dollars in a meaningless projection. So each faction blusters and threatens, for fear that its supporters will abandon it as weak and fickle if it dares appear too ready to compromise.

"The Society of Jesus salutes Pope Francis, our Jesuit brother, on the singular honor of being named Time magazine's Person of the Year," said Father Thomas H. Smolich, S.J., president of the Jesuit Conference.
Washington, DC (PRWEB) December 11, 2013
Pope Francis has been named 2013's "Person of the Year," the iconic title given to one individual or group each year since 1927 by the editors of Time magazine. The title goes to the person who has had the greatest impact on the world and news for the past year, and previous recipients include Mahatma Gandhi, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Martin Luther King Jr., as well as two popes: Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II.
According to Father Thomas H. Smolich, S.J., president of the Jesuit Conference, "Pope Francis is a man with a deep connection to the poor and marginalized. He knows how to translate what is in his heart into actions — whether it's washing the feet of Muslim prisoners on Holy Thursday to launching a global campaign to end world hunger to establishing a commission to address the clerical sexual abuse crisis. He desires to lead a Church that unifies rather than divides, and he gives both believers and seekers a reason to be proud."
"The Society of Jesus salutes Pope Francis, our Jesuit brother, on the singular honor of being named Time magazine's Person of the Year," said Fr. Smolich.
About the Society of Jesus in the United States
Founded in 1540 by St. Ignatius Loyola, the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) is the largest order of priests and brothers in the Roman Catholic Church. The Jesuits operate 28 colleges and universities, 54 high schools and 67 parishes in the United States and engage in a variety of ministries. As religious, Jesuits commit themselves to observe vows of poverty, chastity and obedience in practicing a faith that promotes justice.

I just finished reading my July/August issue of Farm Industry News and the letter that Paul Neal from Iowa wrote about the poor fuel mileage that a government-sponsored Web site claims that current flex vehicles get on E85 fuel [Talk, page 55]. I used to hear the same thing when 10% ethanol fuel was made available at the pump. "If you use 10% ethanol fuel, you won't get as many miles per gallon as you would from regular or premium gasoline."
Last month when I drove back to northeast Iowa for my son's wedding, I decided to put the theory to a test. I drove my Jeep Grand Cherokee with a V8 engine 270 miles to get there and another 75 miles running errands while there and averaged 20.3 mpg on the 10% ethanol blend. As I was leaving town, I filled up with premium gasoline ($0.12/gal. higher priced) and drove the 270 miles home, and I only averaged 18.6 mpg! That was without all the short trips around town!
What I am trying to say is that if you want to believe other people (or what the government is trying to tell you), that is your choice, but if you have a chance to test something for yourself, who are you going to believe? I've done my math.

I'm looking for a parts manual or just some type of schematic to help me put a Haban Manufacturing mower deck, model 615-001, onto a Mitsubishi MT372 compact tractor. I think I might be missing some parts, but I'm not quite sure. The deck originally came with the mower, but the previous owner had it removed. He told me he gave me all of the parts, but I just can't get it all together. Can you help me please? I bought a parts manual for the MT372, but it does not have the mower deck in there.

text: Global advertising spend has continued to climb, gaining 3.2 percent in the third quarter year-over-year (YOY). This quarter's growth likely reflects Asia Pacific's expanding powerhouse ad market, as well as a bottoming out of Europe's contracting ad market. While the North American region saw a slight decline of 1.3 percent during the quarter YOY, the absence of heavy political advertisements surrounding last year's U.S. election is likely the cause.

1. Re: cache data not synced among the cluster nodes in replication modedex chen Nov 28, 2011 8:00 PM (in response to dex chen)
some update/correction on my previous post/question:
!! the problem is seen when I used org.infinispan.loaders.jdbm.JdbmCacheStore loader!!
Indeed, I do not see the issue when use FileCacheStore loader !
With the JdbmCacheStore:
if I set 'fetchPersistentState="true" along with 'fetchInMemoryState="true"', the added entries on one node will be shown up on the new cluster node joining, but the removed data entryies will not be synchronized to the new node.
For example:
we have the following data pre-existed in each node's cache store (local):
k1 --> v1
k2 --> v2
1) start first node (only) and delete cach data k1. Now, one node1, the cache data now like this:
k1 -- v1
2) start the node and wait it to joint the cluster
You will see that the cache entries on node 2 still contains the 2 entries:
k1 --> v1
k2 --> v2
I am expecting it has only k2-->v2 entry after sync.
Is this the expected behaviour?
How does ISPN merge the changes in replication mode?
2. Re: cache data not synced among the cluster nodes in replication modeGalder Zamarreño Dec 6, 2011 1:01 PM (in response to dex chen)
What version of Infinispan is this with? Can you try with Infinispan 5.1.0.CR1 that we've just released?
That would look like a bug, do you have by any chance a test case written for this that we can execute to replicate this particular issue?

CSN announced that Redskins QB Donovan McNabb will join their ranks as a college basketball analyst during the first round of the NCAA tournament. McNabb was a football star at Syracuse, but also walked on to the basketball team and played two seasons as a reserve. According to Dan Steinberg of the Washington Post, he will appear on Comcast's SportsNet Central at 10 and 11 p.m. on Thursday and on Saturday evening. This 2007 SportsCenter clip certainly proves that he is comfortable making banal remarks about his own game ("get that out of here," "and one," and even "ballin'!"), so yeah, he's qualified.
If he does well, maybe they'll add a second-round extension.

This month, we wanted to show you how Primo Restorations in Rancho Cucamonga, California, bought a clean '92 Chevy Camaro, pulled out the engine (and transmission), and swapped it into an American classic. The 355-c.i.d. engine was painted to match and hooked up with several accessories that got the '57 Chevy Bel Air rolling like a modern day custom.
The engine swap is one of the classic build techniques that we've been telling you about in past issues of . With our new Lowrider Garage, we want to give you all of the options that are available when you build your own car. This donor car was bought for around $600 and after the engine and transmission were pulled out, the car was sent to the junkyard for $175, bringing the engine in at $425.
We normally don't like to suggest this method for an engine swap, but this engine was strong and the Camaro that was used had been in a small fender bender and the shop knew that the car was destined to be a donor vehicle. The engine was given several upgrades, including roller lifters and double timing chain. A comparable engine would have cost around $2,500 to start with.
After ordering a few parts, the engine was ready to be built. Once completed, this engine came in at under $5,000, making this engine swap the modern day budget build that we've been taking about. Now follow along as Primo Restorations assembles and drops this newer engine into an American classic.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) Chris Flores scored 23 points and made a layup with two seconds left to help the New Jersey Institute of Technology rally and beat New Hampshire 69-67 Wednesday night in the first meeting between the two programs.
NJIT (2-2) led 29-27 with 3:41 left in the first half but watched New Hampshire close the period with eight straight points to go into halftime up 35-29.
New Hampshire (2-2) stretched its lead to as much as seven, 57-50, in the second half but NJIT rallied to take its first lead of the half, 67-66, behind two Flores free throws.
New Hampshire's Ferg Myrick was fouled on the other end but made just 1 of 2 free throws, tying the game at 67-all and setting up Flores' game-winning layup.
Through four games, NJIT has held its opposition to just 34.1 percent shooting (84 of 246) from the floor.

Wolff begins summer break in hospital
Toto Wolff began his summer break in hospital, the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag reports.
During a pre-Hungary team building exercise, Mercedes' team boss broke his arm in several places in a high speed road cycling pileup.
Wolff, 42, had surgery to repair the damage but nonetheless made it to the paddock for the Hungarian grand prix.
But just days after the race at the Hungaroring, Wolff was due to travel to London for a meeting with fellow team chiefs.
The meeting was reportedly cancelled because the Austrian fell ill.
In fact, he was in hospital.
"After the race in Budapest I suddenly had a fever and had to return to the clinic," Wolff confirmed.
The newspaper said the doctors ordered that his mobile phone be switched off for at least 48 hours.
"I just had to rest as the injuries were easily inflamed," Wolff explained.
But his period of rest did not prevent him from lashing out at the cloud of 'negativity' that is sweeping F1, particularly after the crowd numbers at Hockenheim recently were so low.
"Just because Hockenheim had lower numbers doesn't mean the sport is bad," he exclaimed.
"I can't stand this permanent bad-talk about formula one. It is simply wrong.
"We haven't had so much overtaking in the last 20 years. We have Alonso keeping Ferrari in there with his amazing performances. We have the exciting question of whether Ferrari throw Kimi Raikkonen out.
"We have Red Bull and Sebastian Vettel desperately fighting back after four world championships. And we have our two drivers fighting freely for the title," said Wolff.
Nonetheless, the cancelled crisis meeting has been rescheduled.
"We do not need a revolution, but an evolution," Wolff insisted.

Once the state of your organization, past and present, is well understood and this understanding properly diffused throughout the organization so that everyone is working from the same page, then it is time to look to the future. This is the time to focus on cultivating within the organization strong commitment to and individual understanding and acceptance of a shared vision.
Building the commitment required to successfully transition to the transnational organization, as described in Managing Across Borders, involves providing a sense of unity. Top management must be equally concerned with the perceptions and behaviours of individual managers within the organization, as well as their own. Do these managers share an understanding of the company's purpose and values? Do they identify with the company's broader goals? Do they display a clear commitment to the overall corporate agenda? Leaders must be able to genuinely answer yes to the above questions when asked of their teams. Ensuring this is the case puts the company on the path to establishing a 'global glue' across the organization, where upon strategic initiatives are more successfully executed.
To build this, the authors suggest that leaders must:
1) Develop a common understanding of a clear and consistent corporate vision.
2) Ensure each manager understands and accepts the logic and importance of the objectives.
3) Cement individual understanding and identification through a 'co-option' process, i.e. giving managers a direct role.
It is impossible for an organizational leader to honestly answer yes to the earlier questions above if these three steps are not followed through on. Answering yes to these questions in absence of these actions behind-the-scenes suggests a leader out of touch with their managers and teams. However, if a leader doesn't necessarily take naturally to this type of commitment building, then it is possible that they empower other leaders to assist in the process. But in the end, both approaches result from a leader honest with themselves and their managers and teams.
Building commitment and a shared vision requires with no compromises a clarity, continuity and consistency of purpose - clarity provided through simplicity, relevance and reinforcement; continuity backed by a managerial commitment to consistent implementation; consistency established across organizational units so that the vision is shared by all.
It must be said that the cost of inconsistency can be horrendous - it can result in confusion and inefficiency in the best scenario; in the extreme, it can lead organizational units to pursue agendas that are mutually debilitating.
Individual Understanding and Acceptance
According to the authors, breaking down attitudes and perceptions that act as barriers towards transnational development fundamentally relies on a human resource management program that aims to 1) broaden perspectives, 2) build experience, and 3) develop relationships that result in management flexibility and close inter-unit linkages.
The central objective of this program is to develop an organization in which the individual managers' perceptions, capabilities, and relationships becomes the basic building block for an integrated, yet flexible worldwide organization.
Reflecting on this for a moment, this theory makes sense in that people are an organization's most important resource. There must be a central program that ensures an organizations' people are recruited, selected, trained and developed in a focused, consistent manner. Otherwise, a weak and transactional HR function allows organizational units and individual managers to deviate from a shared vision, thus building barriers infested with separate agendas. Once this critical program is established, it drives a continuous feedback loop throughout an individual's career path that acts as a guide and influencer towards developing that understanding and acceptance of the shared vision.
In more detail, recruiting and selection function finds ways to identify those individuals most likely to succeed in transnational organizational processes by setting the right hiring criteria. The training and development function aims to inculcate a common vision and shared values; broaden management perspectives and capabilities; and develop contacts and shape management relationships. The cycle of career path management tops this off by establishing a foundation that includes a human resources inventory and evaluation system that allows top management to identify and track the scarcest of all corporate resources - skilled management.
Co-opting Management - The Binding Commitment
'Co-opting management' is a concept that the authors emphasize strongly in making the journey to becoming a transnational organization. The challenge can be summarized as:
Most managers may understand the company's strategic vision and they may have had the training to develop a broad corporate frame of reference, but they are so consumed by their immediate operating responsibilities that they often think and act in a parochial manner when global issues impinge on their turf.
The approach to this challenge advocated by the authors can be summarized as:
Give managers direct responsibility for achieving part of the corporate vision and key roles in coordinating the new organization and, by doing so, co-opt them into the transnational agenda.
It is not uncommon that senior managers like to keep their plans closeted from middle managers and others further down the organizational chart. The psychology behind this behaviour may result from distrust or an attitude that subordinate managers need not be aware of such plans in their respective roles, at least until those plans are already in motion. This psychology is dangerous because it actually reinforces barriers and distrust by constructing a distance and separation between managerial levels. Rather than co-opt managers, the senior manager is effectively and one-sidedly opting managers out of key initiatives that will have a significant impact on their role and how they will be able to operate in to the future.
Thus, my opinion is that the authors are spot on in terms of emphasizing that managers should be co-opted in sharing the vision of what and where we aspire to be by being provided additional responsibility, ownership and accountability in not only achieving the vision but in also, even prior to that, testing the vision's validity.

Articles that include 'may' or 'could' etc....
As mentioned by many others , france only offered help on nuclear safety issues i.e. weapon locks primarily. The last thing you want is a foreign locking system on your nukes so that they'd know where you've kept them and can block useage.
Anyway lets hope the morons in islamabad dont take this up.
However if there genuinely is a nuclear power deal offered sure, but remember US doesnt want nuclear co-operation between Pakistan and china and this may very well be a move to direct Pakistan away from chinese assitance. Given our progress in nuclear science we would be well capable of making our own nuclear plants provided a strong funding and resolve is provided to the neccessary departments, this is what A.Q. khan said.

Schenley OFC Whisky
Review: Schenley OFC Canadian Whisky (89.5/100)
a review by Chip Dykstra (AKA Arctic Wolf)
Revised December, 2014
Schenley OFC is currently produced at the Lethbridge, Alberta Distillery by Schenley Distilleries. The Distillery in Lethbridge Distillery usually referred to as the Black Velvet Distillery, as this is where Black Velvet Canadian Whisky is produced, and, as well, it is referred to as the Palliser Distillery, as it is also where brands such as Danfield's Canadian Whisky (a Palliser Brand) is produced.
Alas, the Schenley OFC brand seems to have disappeared from the shelves of many liquor stores stateside, and I suspect that this is related to industry consolidation where for reasons beyond my understanding, solid money earning brands are dumped in favour of the economy of scales which are achieved by promoting fewer brands names across a portfolio.
Thankfully, the Schenley OFC is still found on the shelves of many liquor stores here in Alberta. It is a whisky which I hold in high esteem, and one which I felt I ought to re-visit this year on my website.
In the Bottle 4.5/5
Schenley OFC arrives in the typical tall long-necked Canadian Whisky bottle. The labeling is professional on beige paper with black gold and red lettering. But I will confess my disappointment with the pressed metal cap. These flimsy caps always cause problems with evaporation of spirit, and the cardboard liner under the cap seems to break down over time and impart a bit of cardboard and glue flavour to the spirit.
In the Glass 8.5/10
The OFC is a rich amber/brown whisky with nice orange and red highlights in the glass. The aroma is typically Canadian with a rye like nose coupled with a touch of bourbon. The bourbon note is very soft and gives way to caramel and vanilla. The initial alcohol rising into the air with these notes smells aggressive and demanding, but given a minute or two these demanding notes settle down and the whisky reveals itself as a more accommodating spirit.
As you allow the glass to breathe, the air above the glass becomes enriched with dusty grain fields, sandalwood and oak spices, hints of cinnamon and clove, and a touch of almond-like marzipan. If you like a typical dry Canadian Whisky, you will like the nose very much.
In my Mouth 54.5/60
I would call this zesty as the OFC has a real bite in the mouth. A light butter coats the tongue with hot rye spice and light corn syrup. I should note that the OFC blend is heavy on the corn, and although I can taste the rye spices, the taste of sweet corn and vanilla is predominant. As a sipper the whisky has a real kick to it which I find quite engaging and refreshing, and as a mixer it slides easily into any style of cocktail.
In my Throat 13/15
The buttery texture of the whiskey gives a longer finish than one might expect. The entry in the mouth is of a dry rye; but the exit is of a honeyed bourbon with trails of buttery caramel.
The Afterburn 9/10
This is a very satisfying Canadian whisky. We have that light bourbon influence which has become all the rage in whisky today, but the makers did not forget that this is a Canadian whisky first. That nice rye flavour works well in combination with the vanilla and honey bourbon aftertaste.

Suggested Recipe
Canadian Caribou
a cocktail by Arctic Wolf
1 1/2 oz Shcenley OPC Canadian Whisky
1/2 oz Yukon Jack
Splash of Ginger Ale
Fill an Old-fashioned glass with Ice
Add the whisky and Yukon Jack
Complete with a splash of Ginger Ale
Garnish with a lemon Slice
Enjoy Responsibly!
Note: If you are interested in more of my original cocktail recipes, please click this link (Cocktails and Recipes) for more of my mixed drink recipes!
As always you may interpret the scores I provide as follows.
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing rum or whisky. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, again probably still cocktail territory.
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be more familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

I agree with the rating scale. Very curious about a bottle of Order of Merit, unopened and sealed, dated 1980. Nobody seems to know anything about it. My Brother just passed away, this bottle in a red pouch and blue box, l gave to him in 1982.
June 15, 2012 at 12:49 pm
Hi Chip,
I have been following your reviews for a couple of years and, thanks to you, I started to appreciate the rums and the Canadian whiskeys. I have been living in Canada(Toronto) for many years, but neglected Canadian whiskey. Only after I have started to read your reviews I decided to make special attention to the Canadian whiskey and found a real treasure. You have been doing a great job! You also caused a revolution in my mind, turned my attention to rums and gins, and became one of my main sources of the opinions on various rums and gins. Before then I did not have any reliable source of ratings on rums and gins, while when it comes to the Canadian whiskey, I always compare your ratings with the Whiskey Bible and make my decisions based the notes that you and Jim Murray provide. It does not mean that my opinion is always the same as yours, but now I learnt how to translate your notes into the terms that work for me and I can tell, more or less, will I like the rum, gin or whiskey based on your notes or not. So your reviews are of a tremendous help for me to decide what to try next.
Most of your preferences apply for me too, but a few do not, as for example MGXO, Barcelo Imperial and CR Special Reserve I appreciate very much.
Based on your and Jim Murray's reviews I tried the Schenley O.F.C. and found it pretty palatable and nice experience, so I decided to try the Schenley Golden Wedding, that gets even better scores for Jim Murray and I found it better, more flavorful and more complex, for the same price. My question is, why do not you review the Golden Wedding, or have you tried it but did not like?
Thank you!
March 14, 2012 at 9:42 pm
Love the "Original Fine Canadian" whisky! Nice to read that so many original fine Americans love it too. The review is spot on but I would like to add that The OFC is not as smooth as some, such as Gibson's Finest Whisky but this is a good thing. It reminds one that they are drinking a classic Canadian whisky. Cheers to all.
July 28, 2011 at 3:15 pm
i have a bottle also from 1985, and i also would
like to know its worth
July 28, 2011 at 11:32 am
Our OFC Club here in the South is finally out of our beloved spirits. When we heard of the impending doom of the decision not to import our beloved amber nectar, we were On the Floor Crying. We put our heads together and decided that if OFC was Only For Christians that maybe we would have a chance of importing some. We refuse to believe that it is Only for Canadians.
Please help us fgure out how to get a quantity sufficient Only For Club members shipped to our local distributor here in South Carolina.
You are our Only Freakin Chance.

March 26, 2011 at 5:17 pm

Fiance's grandfather had an un opened bottle in his house when he passed. now the bottle is in my hands. found this site while I was trying to find out more of it. the bottle says 1985 on it. not super old or anything. was wondering if cyndie found any value in her bottle. not saying I want to get rid of it. just curious better to know it's worth I think then to drink it without knowing. I'm a whiskey drinker and can't wait to try it. it is the 8 year aged bottle.
March 21, 2011 at 3:23 pm
Have been an OFC imbiber since 1969 when my uncle brought a bottle to me as a house-warming gift. He said that it was :OFC,,,"Only for Catholics". I have not found a suiltable replacement for it (not "CC"; nor "VO"). Any one out there help me find an OFC-type alternative?
February 2, 2011 at 7:53 am
Hi I would just like to let you know how much I've enjoyed O F C. I'M sadden that you do not make it anymore. I was introduce to O F C by my uncle his has past on. We really had so good time together and with the O F C. I was just wondering if there is anyway possible get to anymore. I've tried other canadian whiskeys but there just not the same.
February 3, 2011 at 11:15 am
I to enjoyed OFC for a good many years. I understand that it is no longer sold in the U.S. But it is available in Canada.
I friend of mine last week bought a bottle of OFC in N.Carolina. I believe it is from remaining stock. If you were to visit some of the older stores maybe they still have a bottle or two. Good Luck in your search.
- February 3, 2011 at 11:15 am
January 30, 2011 at 4:22 pm
I have bought OFC for so long that I remember the labels had a serial number them. But for some time I have not found any in the USA. I hope OFC returns!
December 31, 2010 at 8:20 pm
I just opened a bottle of OFC 1963 Do you think it is still good?
February 16, 2010 at 8:15 am
I have an unopened bottle of Imported OFC by Schenley Canadian Whiskey. It has a 1959 red seal over the top and a certificate on back with #D 42669. Does this bottle have any worth. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks
February 6, 2010 at 8:46 pm
Is there anywhere in the United States that OFC is available? People are saying that OFC is not being sold anymore in the United States. Is there another whiskey that is being substituted in the Schenely brand for the OFC?
December 15, 2009 at 2:59 pm
I live in Georgia and have been told that this whiskey is no longer being made – however this appears to be a new review. Maybe it is just not being shipped into the US. Do you have any information in regard to it's availability?
December 4, 2009 at 5:02 pm
I have to agree 100% with the review.OFC is one of the finer canadian whiskeys and is an absolute joy to drink mixed.

Smart New School Food Rules Make Good Nutrition Sense
By the numbers
Children and adolescents consume more than 35% of their calories at school, and obesity rates have more than doubled in 6- to 11-year-old children and more than tripled in adolescents in the past 30 years. Clearly, it's high time to push for healthier school food.
The new USDA standards apply to all food served in schools—in the cafeteria and vending machines, and at school events. This includes foods that are part of the federally reimbursable school meals program, and foods that are sold outside of federal programs, those known as "competitive foods":
- Grain products must be at least 50% whole grain, list whole grains as the first ingredient, or have as a first ingredient a non-grain main food group (fruit, vegetables, dairy, or protein: meat, beans, poultry, seafood, eggs, nuts, or seeds).
- Food products must provide at least ¼ cup fruit and/or vegetables.
- Foods must contain at least 10% of the daily value of certain key nutrients, including calcium, potassium, vitamin D, and fiber.
- A serving of the food must have less than 35% of total calories from fat, less than 10% from saturated fat, and no trans fats.
- Except for dried fruit, foods must derive less than 35% of total weight from sugar.
- Snacks must have less than 230 mg of sodium per serving (which will drop to less than 200 mg after July 1, 2016), and entrees can have no more than 480 mg of sodium per serving.
- Only noncaffeinated foods and beverages, except for trace amounts of naturally occurring caffeine, can be served in elementary and middles schools.
After July 1, 2016, the rule regarding 10% of daily values for key nutrients will be phased out. This will prevent the qualification of nutrient-fortified, yet otherwise nutrition-poor foods, such as diet soda with added vitamins, from being considered appropriate for school food programs. Acceptable beverages include milk, 100% fruit and/or vegetable juice, and flavored, sparkling (carbonated) beverages with no more than 40 calories per 8 ounces or 60 calories per 12 ounces.
Bringing health home
Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, MD, president and CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, a leader on children's health issues, welcomed these changes, stating "I commend the U.S. Department of Agriculture for taking this momentous step to bring healthier snacks and drinks to students across the nation." You can take steps to keep your kids healthy and fit at home, even before the new school year begins:
- Swap it. Swap out crackers, cookies, and processed foods for healthier fare. Serve fruit with peanut butter and veggies with hummus to make them more appealing to young kids.
- Don't buy it. While you can't always control what your kids eat away from home, if you don't buy and offer junk food, your kids won't eat it at home. Keep other healthy options, such as low-fat yogurt, dried fruit, and nuts on hand.
- Lose liquid calories. Soda and drinks with added sugar contribute more than 10% of many children's daily caloric intake. Replacing these with water, sparking water, or a few ounces of 100% fruit juice mixed with sparkling water can help keep kids healthier and may minimize obesity risk.
- Move it. Don't let the kids sit around playing video games all summer. Use your time off from work to visit a park and play Frisbee or basketball. Kids follow their parents' lead. If you make fitness fun, your kids will enjoy it too.
