To commemorate this event, the film is expected to be released in an IMAX 3D version at the end of September, and the special limited edition Blu-ray 3D release will take place October 1.
The film, which was based off of the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, has touched the hearts of young and old, and is deeply embedded in popular culture ("There's no place like home!"). Thus, it makes perfect sense to plan some library activities around it!
Here are some ideas to get you started:
- The obvious idea is to show the Wizard of Oz, but unfortunately Audio Ciné Films do not offer the public performance rights (PPR) for the original. However, they do offer PPR for the prequel, Oz: The Great and Powerful, which was released earlier this year, and also the cartoon sequel, Return to Oz (1985).
- Book clubs could certainly read the book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, which inspired the movie(s). You could also try reading some of Baum's lesser known Oz titles, such as The Marvelous Land of Oz, Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz, and The Scarecrow of Oz. View the complete list of the Oz titles written by Baum. Could make for some interesting discussions, regardless of age!
- Think along the lines of keywords/concepts from the film: witch, wizard, dog (toto), courage, heart, brain, tornado, hot air balloon, rainbows, oil can, lions, scarecrows, tin man, basket, monekys, melting, corn fields, and more!
- For teens, why not do a Wizard of Oz meme generator program? Print off photos and have them write captions (suitable for display, of course!)
- Build tin men out of tin cans!
- Incorporate science - Make a tornado in a bottle!
- The Kids Warner Bros website has colouring and activity sheets that can be downloaded.
- Workman.com offers a Wizard of Oz downloadable Event Kit, that gives ideas such as playing Pin the Heart on the Tin Man, decorate the Yellow Brick Road, find the Ruby Slippers and instructions on making a Cowardly Lion mask.
- If you're feeling particularly ambitious, here are some party ideas. Easier version? Decorate with rainbows! Plus the dollar stores will now have their fall decorations out so you could easily find a scarecrow.
- Here's a fantastic Pinterest board with over 200 craft, snack and activity ideas to make your event Oz-some! (do a Pinterest board search for "wizard of oz party ideas" for more!)
- Wizard of Oz lesson plan suggestions
- Combine the party with Halloween and have people come in costume!

File this one under, "neat." The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has been used to help pinpoint the exact sites visited by the Apollo 17 mission team in 1972. Why is this important?
Glad you asked. Basically, we know where the astronauts landed but remember that cool dune buggy thing they were photographed driving? Yeah, well, that took them kilometers away fromt he landing site and a researchers could only really estimate where a bunch of the photographs they returned with were taken.
The moon, see, has no GPS system. So it's not like they could exactly tell where they were. For the Apollo missions, this was really more about finding out exactly where a bunch of the panoramic photos like the one above were taken. But it has other implications also. From the Wired article:
[Mark] Robinson expects the new topographical maps will help geologists who need to know exactly where lunar samples came from. An example, he said, is the former Soviet Union's robotic sample return missions from the mid-1970s.
Three robots named Luna each drilled about 0.5 pounds of lunar soil and carried it back to Earth. Luna 24′s samples returned in late 1976, but geologists around the world "pulled their hair out" over the rocks and dust, Robinson said, because the composition differed drastically from their expectations. Images beamed to Earth by LRO, however, show the robot landed on the rim of a crater — a spot where a deep and chaotic mixture of rock might exist.
So this has an obvious effect on the science being done. But it's also pretty cool because it shows how well the LRO has been mapping the Moon's surface. Now, sure, I gave a little crap about the other orbiters NASA launched to survey the Moon, but this is pretty extraordinary in that it allowed NASA to find the exact spot of where a pair of astronauts landed on a foreign world forty years ago.
To put that into context, if you've got a smart phone, think about how often you consult Google Maps just to locate a place that you already have a fair idea of its location. That's how dependent we've become on our GPS system.
A nice little addendum, from the article:
In the future Robinson hopes to develop 3-D maps of the remaining Apollo landing sites, then publicly post the data for anyone who wants to use it. "People more imaginative than me could use it to create immersive environments," he said. "It will be nowhere near as good as actually going to the moon, but it's the second-best bet."
That's pretty neat. And just having a complete map of another planetary body is also cool. I'll be really interested to see where the science goes on this one.

Find a job fast : Be active even when you are not searching for a job
Remember, the more job interviews you do, the better. So, why wouldn't you do a couple, even if you have a job !? In that way, you will keep your interview skills up to date, and improve !!
A job interview is always a really big opportunity to learn. To learn about job interview skills. To learn about human nature. To learn about yourself. But also to learn about your field. The employer will often ask you things that you don't know. Do your home-work and research it on the internet. Next time, you will be better and be able to answer the question if you're asked !
Before leaving London to go to Australia, I applied for a job in London, just to get job interviews. I get one in a company that was selling concert tickets in a unique way. I went there. I didn't have the job as I made many job interview mistakes. But I did take notes during the job interview about things to improve. And I did think about what went good and what went bad afterwards. It was a great preparation for my job hunting in Australia !!

State and Main (2000)
Directed by David MametGenres - Comedy | Sub-Genres - Showbiz Comedy, Americana | Release Date - Dec 22, 2000 (USA - Limited) | Run Time - 105 min. | Countries - France , United States | MPAA Rating - R
Share on
Synopsis by Rebecca Flint Marx
Echoing the themes of Living in Oblivion and Irma Vep, David Mamet's seventh feature centers on the havoc wrought on the inhabitants of a small town by a troubled film production. After its leading man's propensity for teenage girls gets them banished from their New Hampshire location, a film crew relocates to the small town of Waterford, VT, to finish shooting "The Old Mill." As its title suggests, the film depends on the presence of a genuine mill, something the town is reported to possess. Unfortunately, with only days before principal photography begins, it becomes apparent that the mill in fact burned down decades ago. Unfazed, the film's director, Walt Price (William H. Macy), places his faith in the ability of first-time screenwriter Joseph Turner White (Philip Seymour Hoffman) to alter the script; what he doesn't count on is White's apparently bottomless reserve of angst-fueled writer's block. The film's leading lady (Sarah Jessica Parker) refuses to do her contracted nude scene unless she's give an ungodly sum of cash, while a foreign cinematographer offends the locals by messing with an historic firehouse, and the leading man, Bob Barrenger (Alec Baldwin), dallies with Carla (Julia Stiles), a crafty local teen. Everything comes to a head after Barrenger and Carla are injured in a car accident, which leads White to another emotional quandary and into the arms of Ann Black (Rebecca Pidgeon).

Digital advertising is on the rise – but viewability issues have threatened to discredit the medium. Marketers have spent upward of $10 billion annually – about one-third of total digital ad spend – on ads that never saw the light of a pupil, unviewable because the content didn't load properly or encountered other structural problems.
As the Media Rating Council (MRC) readied to launch a more rigorous set of viewability measurement standards, FleishmanHillard was tasked with spreading the word. But talking measurement is mundane. The topic had to be addressed in a way that would compel advertisers to take notice and – more important – action. Using quirky 30-second video PSAs shared through social, 3MS (Making Measurement Make Sense) and the MRC changed the conversation around viewability through simple allegories about failed message delivery: a graffiti artist using white paint on a white wall, an airplane banner flown over a winter beach, etc. The campaign then directed viewers to a new website to learn more about adopting the standards. PSAs and earned media articles – bylines, interviews and features – were amplified through social channels to spark conversation, using #viewability and #measurementnow.
With no paid media, the campaign secured 1.1 billion impressions, reaching 3.7 million ad professionals through coverage in publications such as Ad Week, Advertising Age, The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Media Post, Forbes and Digiday. Plus, the efforts led to 18 ad-tech companies – from Google and Microsoft to comScore, Integral Ad Science and Yahoo – being accredited to date.

The Dichotomy of Leadership: Balancing the Challenges of Extreme Ownership to Lead and Win (B&N Exclusive Edition)
The importance of balance as a leader by the #1 New York Times bestselling authors of Extreme Ownership.
This Barnes and Noble Exclusive Edition includes three new, never-before published essays, with inspiration and advice for Barnes and Noble readers.
Every leader must be ready and willing to take charge, to make hard, crucial calls for the good of the team and the mission. Something much more difficult to understand is that, in order to be a good leader, one must also be a good follower. This is a dichotomy; a Dichotomy of Leadership. It is, as authors Jocko Willink and Leif Babin wrote in their bestselling first book Extreme Ownership, "Simple, Not Easy." Now, in The Dichotomy of Leadership, the authors explain the power inherent in the recognition of the fine line that leaders must walk, balancing between two seemingly opposite inclinations. It is with the knowledge and understanding of this balance that a leader can most effectively lead, accomplish the mission and achieve the goal of every leader and every team: Victory.
Using examples from the authors' combat and training experience in the SEAL Teams and then showing how each lesson applies to business and in life, Willink and Babin reveal how the use of seemingly opposite principlesleading and following, focusing and detaching, being both aggressive and prudentrequire skill, awareness, understanding and dexterity; all attributes that can be honed. These dichotomies are inherent in many of the concepts introduced in Extreme Ownership, and integral to their proper implementation and effectiveness. Dichotomy is essential reading for anyone looking to lead and win.

Great book that sets the tone in discovering and understanding the dichotomies of life. Recomend to everyone.
Great book. Highly recommend to anyone looking to improve themselves and those around them take the time to obtain tools that will help you become an effective leader.
The Dichotomy of Leadership is an interesting leader book. It begins by telling a story from downrange (military combat missions), then it discusses the principle that particular mission uncovered, and finally the principle then is applied in the business world. What I like about that set-up is that the reader gets to discover the principle just as the author did in that combat mission. The reader sees it play out in different scenarios (military and business). Plus, the principle is laid out very clearly in case the stories were not clear enough. The principles themselves you may recognize. They have been covered before in many types of leadership books, but it is how they are laid out here that makes the difference. The reader first finds themselves on a SEAL mission and then in a boardroom or on a work site in charge of 600 miners. Instead of overexplaining the principles, the authors let the stories explain the concepts for them.

Bklyn Designs 2006: Christine's Favs
Welcome to Insta-Reporter Christine of 3 Little Monsters Design, who sent in this post on Bklyn Designs last weekend!
There was lots of fun stuff at this past weekend's Brooklyn Designs 2006 Show. With over 50 exhibitors, my friend and fellow designer Ed Brant and I spent several hours perusing the latest and greatest of contemporary furnishings from Brooklyn-based designers. Here are some of my personal favorites…The 4′ Troy ping pong chandelier
One could not help but notice the "classic" French empire chandelier upon entering St. Ann's Warehouse in DUMBO at the Brooklyn Designs 2006 Show. Created by the lighting atelier of Zia-Priven Design, this 4-foot show stopper was made with over 1000 white ping-pong balls.
According to Paul Priven, this chandelier is the mini version of the 10-foot Troy ping-pong chandelier that was debuted earlier this year at the Architectural Digest Home Design Show. Hmmm…I should have asked Paul if they made a "mini" mini-version of the Troy. I would love to have one in my tiny apartment.
The Troy chandelier is part of the Couture Collection and is available to the trade only, but do check out their website www.priven.com to salivate at their gorgeous fixtures. Also check out ZIP Studio, their new retail line of contemporary table lamps and pendants available online through www.velocityartanddesign.com.
I did see some lighting possibilities for my apartment. Andrea Claire's nature inspired pendant lamps were absolutely lovely.
Simple, elegant and quite affordable (the prices range from $320 -$375) these hanging pendants can be purchased directly from Andrea Claire www.andreaclaire.net or the Brooklyn-based store, Future Perfect.
I asked Andrea if she has done any custom work and she said that no one has approached her as of yet, but she is willing to collaborate. Currently her lamps feature digital shots from the Shawngunk Mountain Range, The Everglades National Park, a Miami sunset, and a graveyard in Queens NY.

Pryor &Williams debuted their teak furniture and objects line at this year's Brooklyn Designs. Pryor Callaway and Mark Williams collaborated specifically for this design show to create probably some of my favorite pieces from the weekend.
The line is so new that it currently consists of a saw-horse style dining table with a dark glass or corian top, a cutting board, and a collapsible serving. The simple designs are exquisitely made of solid layers of plantation grown teak and darkened bronze joinery. At the moment, only the serving tray is currently priced at $275.00.
The company is still trying to figure out pricing for the other pieces. For more information, you can contact Pryor & Williams at 718-522-2500 or check out their website www.pryor-williams.comServing Tray (Pryor Calloway demonstrating the collapsible serving tray.) "Twilight Plum"
Brad Teasdale of Brad Teasdale – Custom Mosaic Artwork had a gorgeous piece called Twilight Plum at the show. Made of kilm formed glass fused into concrete, this work of art was quite a lengthy and laborious process. I was told the fusing process takes about 10-15 hours.
Unfortunately folks, this lovely number was already sold (for $7500) by the time I inquired about the piece. But never fear, Brad specializes in custom installations…If you are interested in his work, you can reach him at 917-362-7546 or check out his website www.bradteasdale.com"Kohana"
I fell in love with the two pieces from A&G design. The "Kohana "a boxy but well-proportioned sofa featured a cherry blossom design silk screened on ultra suede. The "Side Table" made with Pau Ferro wood and inlaid w/ stainless trim had built-in corner lights … bright enough to provide some sexy mood lighting.
Furniture designer, Adam Almquist, the "A" of A&G mentioned that each piece is hand-made and takes about 4-6 weeks to be built. For more information, you can check out A&G design's website www.aandgdesigninc.com." "Side Table" Newest piece from Lighten Up Design
I was also drawn to Lisa Goldberg collection of ceramic lamps for Lighten Up Designs. The rich colorful palette reminded me of juicy gumball drops that I used to enjoy as a kid. Her lamps are handmade and can be customized to any lamp style and color combination that she offers. She currently has 10 different lamp styles and 17 colored glazes to choose from with prices starting at $280. For the Brooklyn Design show, she unveiled her latest collection featuring her hand drawn sketches of dogwood and butterflies etched on her ceramic lamps. These delicate beauties are priced at $800 and can be purchased from Clio in Soho, Nest Interiors in Chelsea, and Show in LA. You can also purchase directly from Lisa Goldberg through her website www.lightenupdesign.com
It was nice to see some familiar faces at the show this year. The girls from Decoradar, Elisheva Bieroff and Jennifer Smith released "East", the 3rd of their mural paint kit series. The kit includes everything you need to paint a whimsical cherry blossom vine on your wall: paint, a brush, stencil, and artificial blossoms. The East paint kit and the first two, South and North are available at www.decoradar.com for $50 each.The DIY Mural Kits from Decoradar
Also at hand at the show was Jenny Argie of Argington, the very stylish and modern children's furniture company. She wanted to give a shout out to AT and let everyone know that her collection has expanded to include a toy box, a booster seat, a toddler bed, and a twin trundle bed. She also emphasized that she paid attention to the feedback that she received from the AT community when she was featured a year and a half ago and now all the furniture pieces are made from Baltic birch plywood allowing for much lower price points.

text: OverviewA Latin grammar and reader all in one when the text and workbook are used together, Learn to Read Latin presents basic Latin morphology and syntax with clear explanations and examples, and it offers direct access to great works of Latin literature even at the earliest stages of learning the language. As beginning students learn basic forms and grammar, they also gain familiarity with patterns of Latin word order and other features of style, thus becoming well prepared for later, more difficult texts. No other beginning Latin book contains as many unaltered versions of ancient texts. Learn to Read Latin includes the writings of such authors as Caesar, Cicero, Sallust, Catullus, Vergil, and Ovid, arranged chronologically and accompanied by introductions to each author and each work. These readings serve as the chief training texts around which the book's fifteen chapters are constructed. A workbook is also available, providing abundant drills for each chapter of the text. A flexible format allows the workbook exercises to be used in the classroom, for homework assignments, for extra individual drill work, or as a home study tool.

MLM Good Vibes
Network marketing done well leaves customers happy, excited, and empowered!! I bought oils from Casey-- whom I trusted, admired, and loved. I hope and pray the same goes to anyone that joins Young Living because of me. She and my sponsor pour into me and support me in my oily wellness journey and my oily biz!!
When you are purchasing anything from any MLM, what you are doing is not only supporting the company that made a product, but you have supported your friend. You're helping pay for a little girl's ballet classes, and supper for a family. You're investing in that little boy's college fund and school supplies for him. You're supporting families that you know and so many that you don't!
An MLM uses the costs that a company would normally use for marketing and gives it to families so they can build their own dreams and create a business for themselves. It is so far beyond paying big bucks to top level execs, but gives everyone an opportunity to create an income for themselves!
Buying from your friend instead of another random company is the biggest investment into them to say, "I believe in you."
This is a path to be debt free for me, providing college, this is security, this is the door to so much freedom. For me, staying up late working is worth it, for me- being proactive, getting out of my comfort zone, being consistent Day after Day is WORTH it, my family is more than worth it.
Are you ready to start your journey with essential oils?? I would be thrilled to have you on my team. I will be with you every step of the way. The community is one of the most beautiful and unexpected parts for me. My team is truly like a family, learning and educating and working towards wellness together. It's really a gift. We have an amazing supportive system here and you will absolutely fall in love with our community! SIGN UP HERE >

I am a huge fan of the Leangains program by Martin Berkhan. I really think it is one of the simplest yet most effective plans for gaining serious muscle mass, whilst lowering body fat. It is a perfect synergy of intermittent fasting, heavy lifting and good diet. Best of all, its very managable, and can be applied with little to no major disturbance to your lifestyle.
Martin is a very switched on guy, who know's his way around science and is one of the few bloggers out their who practices what he preaches (and is seriously jacked because of it!)
However, for all the greatness of his program, its hard to put it all together from his website (Sorry Marty!). This is where the team at Examine.com come in. They have created an awesome Leangains FAQ that aims to answer all the questions you have on the program. It's even been pimped by Martin Berkhan himself. (Check out the rest of the Examine.com website, its an awesome resource of information on exercise, training, supplements and everything in between)
Check it out if you are serious about building muscle and losing fat.

Sanford to attend Washington meeting
Gov. Mark Sanford plans to attend a national governors' meeting in Washington this weekend, as some governors begin to question the cost of such groups.
Sanford spokesman Ben Fox said Sanford will attend the National Governors Association meeting in Washington from Saturday through Monday . Sanford will fly to D.C. on the state plane, Fox said, and his registration and hotel will cost $1,150.
Dues for the association, which the state has yet to pay, are $106,600.
The meeting, Fox said, will give Sanford an opportunity to address President Barack Obama's decision not to open a nuclear waste facility at Yucca Mountain, Nev., intended to house S.C. waste.
Sanford and other governors will meet with Obama, as well as learn about energy issues from federal officials.
Fox said Sanford also will meet with like-minded governors about Yucca Mountain.
Sanford also is on a panel discussing surface transportation, particularly the public-private partnership model for new projects.
"There's relevant legislation in the General Assembly right now dealing with some of these same transportation issues," Fox said.
South Carolina's Republican and Democratic governors have attended the meetings for decades, Fox said.
But Idaho GOP Gov. Butch Otter recently cut his office's funding for attending the NGA meeting and will not pay the $60,000 membership dues because of state budget cuts, according to the Idaho Statesman. Texas Gov. Rick Perry, also a Republican, stopped paying for NGA membership and events in 2002.
Since taking office, Sanford has enforced strict travel policies for state employees to reduce costs. He awaits a State Ethics Commission hearing on 37 violations of state ethics law, some of which include his use of state aircraft for personal or political purposes.
But the Ethics Commission found no problems with Sanford's past trips to the NGA, Southern Governor's Association and other similar meetings.

I was surprised to be drawn into two separate conversations recently about the pressure to be perfect. One of the conversations was started by a 30-something mother of an infant complaining that other women were trying to look perfect on Facebook. I asked if she thought people should instead post comments about their marital problems, fights with kids and the like. I suppose most people post positive aspects of their life for their hundreds of Facebook friends and reserve more difficult topics for intimate chats with close friends or family.
The other conversation was with a 40-something mother of three teenagers who said she had always felt pressured to make everything perfect and sometimes wondered if her beautiful suburban house was good enough. While studying the history of various ethnic groups in our country, she realized life in the suburbs in the 21st Century is pretty darned good.
At my stage in life, I've learned that not only is there no perfect person, there's also no perfect family, household, job, boss, neighborhood, country, wardrobe, and the list goes on. I probably wanted a perfect life at one time too but after emerging from a few bouts of severe depression, I believe that any day without a genuine crisis, such as a loved one's illness, death or job loss, is a good day. I began to let go of my desire to throw a "perfect" holiday gathering when I realized that any guest worth having is just happy to be a guest instead of a host and will not hold you to unrealistic standards.
Letting go of perfectionism in my work was a little harder. Some days I worked far too long on writing the "perfect" article for a blog or newsletter. A couple of years ago, a friend with similar tendencies shared a great acronym that helps me remember not to spend too much time on a single task: GEMO or Good Enough, Move On.
After reflecting on the topic for a couple of weeks, I've concluded that the land of perfectionism is an isolated place to be. Perfectionism can cause us to waste a lot of precious time comparing our lives to others. For example, on Facebook we see perfect Mary with her perfect husband Joe and their darling son and daughter and wonder why our life doesn't measure up to hers. She appears to have a dream job, cook gourmet meals and never have to scream at her kids to stop driving her crazy. This false belief causes us to beat ourselves up for our very normal, messy and sometimes challenging lives.
Perfectionism can also prevent us from sharing difficulties with others, which in turn prevents others from sharing their struggles with us. Each of us thinks the other has an ideal life when nothing could be further from the truth.
So relax. Spend less time on Facebook and Pinterest and more time talking with your close friends and family. Let go of "perfection" and strive for excellence instead. Excellence is the best we can do at a reasonable cost of time and money while still enjoying other important aspects of life.
Make a point to think about a more difficult time once in a while and realize how far you've come. And if this week, month or year has been the hardest you've ever faced, reach out to others for support and guidance. Like the friends who lowered the paralyzed man through the roof of the Temple to be healed by Jesus (Luke 5:12-16), sometimes we carry our friends, and sometimes they carry us.
And now, after thinking about it for a couple of weeks, I will call this post complete. Good Enough, Move On.

Note: Last week we reported that the quality of most dry vegetable commodities had suffered due to the
rains and high winds of previous weeks. Quality has improved for some commodities this week but is
still suspect and variable for others. Details, by commodity, are given below.
• Rounds- Quality has improved this week with the only issue we see is some occasional
softness. Overall, quality is very good to excellent. Demand still has not picked up as it
normally does this time of the year. Mexico continues to dictate market prices. FOB prices are
down this week for all sizes. If demand does not pick up and if we do not experience a weather
event, we expect prices to remain low for at least the next 3 to 4 weeks.
• Romas- FOB prices for romas also continue to trade within a narrow range and Mexico is
dictating this market also. FOB prices are generally steady with downward pressure this week.
We expect FOB prices to remain low and to trade within a narrow range. Like the rounds,
quality has improved this week and is very good to excellent.
• Grapes- Ample supplies are causing FOB prices to remain at rock-bottom levels. Quality is
variable but is generally very good.
• Cherries- FOB prices have fallen a couple of dollars again this week. Quality is better and is
generally very good.
• Weather forecast- Immokalee, FL: Mostly sunny skies into next week with little chance of rain.
Cool through Thursday and then warming near 80 over the weekend.
• Rounds- Demand continues to be light. Good volume continues to cross at Nogales but we
continue to see signs of a slight seasonal slowdown. Sizing is down. Crossings also continue
at McAllen. FOB prices remain at Suspension Agreement minimums. Quality continues to be
suspect and variable but we are seeing some signs of improvement. We expect the round
tomato market pricing to remain stable for the next several weeks.
• Romas- Nogales and McAllen crossings continue. FOB prices remain at Suspension Agreement
minimums for all sizes. Quality is variable.
• Grapes- Crossings primarily at Nogales. Quality is variable. Prices remain generally at
Suspension Agreement minimums.
• Cherries- Quality is suspect and variable this week. We are continuing to see a wider-thannormal
range in FOB prices which correspond to the quality. Overall, repackers are having to
pay higher FOB prices for quality product.
Green Bell Pepper
East- Quality continues to be variable but overall quality is a little better this week. FOB prices are
currently lower compared to last week.
West- FOB prices are generally steady and trading within a narrow range. The desert fields will be
starting soon.
Yellow Squash
East- Supplies and yields are still light due to pollination issues. However, a few more supplies are
currently available compared to last week and we forecast that supplies will continue to slowly increase
into next week. We continue to see a wider-than-normal variance in FOB pricing with the better quality
product demanding the higher prices. Compared to last week, FOB prices are lower. Quality overall is
slightly better as we get further removed from the adverse winds and rains of several weeks ago.
West- Quality remains fair this week. Supplies remain light but more supplies should be available soon
as we get into new desert fields. FOB prices will remain high until the new fields begin to produce.
Compared to last week FOB prices are steady to lower this week.
Green Squash
East- Supplies continue to be tight and we do not see the potential increase in supplies in the near
future as we do for the yellow squash. FOB prices remain high with some downward pressures. Quality
continues to be variable but is improving.
West- Quality remains variable. Slightly more supply is causing downward pressures on FOB prices.
Crossings primarily at Nogales.
East- Off-shore supplies still available and should continue for another 7-10 days. Quality is variable
and suspect as we come toward the end of the crop. The spring FL domestic crop continues to ramp up
and more supplies are available. The quality of the domestic product is better and is bringing a
premium FOB price compared to the off-shore product. The price for off-shore product has fallen from
last week whereas the prices for the higher quality domestic product has remained generally steady.
West- Nogales crossing continue. Baja crossings have begun in a light way but we do not expect those
crossings to get fully ramped up until the first of April. The market remains active with FOB prices
generally steady to lower from last week. Quality is variable.
East- FOB prices are generally steady with downward pressures. Still seeing some scarring but quality
overall is better.
West- FOB prices are generally steady this week with slight upward pressure. Nogales crossings
continue and quality is good.
East- FOB prices are steady this week. Supplies are a little stronger which should begin to put some
downward pressures on FOB prices.
West- FOB prices are down this week.
East- The market is currently steady from last week. We are expecting more supplies into the week
which should put downward pressures on FOB prices Quality remains good.
West- Acreage and yields are down causing a shortage in supplies. This continues to put upward
pressures on FOB prices. Quality remains suspect.

Kids & Family:Parenting
S5-Ep233 - Then Mind
Yesterday we talked "Body First" and said that if we don't take care of our body then the pyramid that we're building on has a poor foundation and it'll make the other things for a happy life harder. First, I want to say I worked out for almost 15 years, and then took 4 off while I raised some children. I get it. Judgement free zone if you're in that window too. But knowledge is power and we hope to help you here.
So after body, then mind.
And I'm not talking learning a second language or those brain training websites. That is actually another episode. No – the Mind is more about mental health. And this is becoming more clear as I struggle through winters and the darkness of it. And it's becoming more clear as I see more and more people affected.
And this is about the only case where I'd appreciate having a psychologist on board, because all I can really tell you is to practice mindfulness, whatever the hell that means, and do some reading, and mediate daily which I've never done in my life, except for maybe one birth class with my wife. But keeping on top of your mental health, whatever your issue is --- and we all have something – don't let anyone fool you, keeping on top of it is a priority because you don't want to be that rich lottery winner who has lost it all because they basically went crazy – and we definitely don't want to do that – without even winning the lottery – which is just saying – normal people have issues too.
And parenting wise – Just keep on the lookout for some of the signs in our kids as well:
Signs include:
Persistent aggression
Hyperactivity or fidgeting
Constant worry or anxiety
Well finish up – tomorrow where we figure out if after all this mind body work – we can indulge a litte:
And a final note: I want to thank you for being on board and taking us with you wherever or whatever type of parent you are. We appreciate it!

Starbucks shrugged off worries of an economic slowdown in the US on Thursday and reported higher quarterly profits for the first three months of the year.
The coffee company's revenues climbed 11% to $3.6bn and its operating income grew 26% to $544m. Troy Alstead, chief financial officer, said the company had experienced continuing strength in its US business "despite ongoing uncertainty in the macro environment".
"Given our performance in the first half of the year and the considerable momentum in the business as we enter the second half, we are raising our full year earnings growth target," he said.
Starbucks released results amid reports that it is seeking to expand the tax breaks it receives in the US on foreign profits. The move comes just months after its tax structure provoked a political backlash in the UK.
The House of Representatives ways and means committee is currently considering an overhaul of the US tax system, the first since 1986. Starbucks is one of a number of firms lobbying for breaks.
The company said that its effective global tax rate exceeded 32%. In the letter Starbucks said it would be willing for forego some tax breaks as long as those new revenues could be used to lower the US corporate tax rate, currently 35%. The company also argued for tax breaks on "royalty revenues" from foreign subsidiaries unless that money is brought back into the US.
Starbucks tax planning allowed the company to pay no corporation tax in the UK, one of its largest markets, in the past three years. Last December the company volunteered to pay £20m amid a political firestorm about the nonpayment.
"As noted above, our business requires us to locate where our customers are located. Our stores necessarily are located in the same neighborhoods and business centers as those of our foreign competitors. A territorial system that does not subject foreign active trade or business income to US taxation will allow US companies like Starbucks to compete with local competitors on a level playing field, paying the same taxes that they pay.
"Similarly, we must provide the necessary proximal support to our foreign operators so they can deliver the 'Starbucks experience' to our customers in each and every market in a locally relevant fashion," Starbucks wrote.
The committee is being lobbied by other companies including Walt Disney and Honeywell. Earlier this week Apple reported that it now had $145bn in profits on its books and was keeping $102bn offshore to avoid US taxes.

I've been working on this list for a long time now, maybe 6 months. I know I'm the only one who cares about it, but these are some fucking awesome words. All the entries are glossed from the dictionary, maybe paraphrased but any errors are mine. I know I already use too many big words, but you can kind of understand why when you see how many great words there are.
It makes kind of a weird list, because my brain likes words for weird reasons. I should write a little story that has all of them in it. There are a couple for each letter of the alphabet (even x and z!) and sometimes the list of synonyms is better than the actual word. I also really like word origins, so pretend you're interested.

abscissionThe act of cutting off.
abscissionthe process by which plant organs are shed. This process occurs in the stalks of unfertilized flowers, in ripe fruits and in the base of the petiole of deciduous leaves in autumn, or in diseased leaves at any time. It is due to the formation of an abscission layer of thin-walled cells in the stalk base which rupture under strain produced by e.g. wind. A layer of cork forms beneath the abscission layer to seal the plant surface. Abscission is controlled by plant hormones present: a low concentration of AUXIN, high amounts of ETHYLENE, and (in some plants) a high concentration of ABSCISIC ACID all stimulate production of the abscission layer.
