These collected lectures were written during Protopresbyter Thomas Hopko's decade as dean of St Vladimir's Seminary from 1992 to 2002, and all deal with what it means for Orthodox Christians to speak and to act in a loving manner in societal and ecclesiastical settings, particularly in twentieth-century North America. Especially relevant are his remarks regarding education and spiritual formation in Orthodox theological schools: his historical background regarding the formation of Orthodox seminaries in the United States is enlightening. In an effort to dispel misconceptions, he also presents readers with an insightful view of Orthodox participation in ecumenical activities. Additionaly, he comments on the relationship between clergy and laity and makes some pertinent observations about the challenges to the Church in post-modern and post-communist societies. The thread holding these essays together is St Paul's admonition to "speak the truth in love" and to "grow up in every way into Him who is the head, into Christ" (Eph. 4:15).
PROTOPRESBYTER THOMAS HOPKO (1939–2015) was professor of dogmatic theology and served as dean of St Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary. Alongside his numerous books and articles, Fr Thomas was also renowned as a gifted speaker and homilist.

During the craziness that was the creation of our of our new fall and winter teas and cocoas, three things collided and caused me to decide, "I MUST Make That Tea!"
The first thing laid the groundwork, one of those preparing the mind for an idea situations. Many of the teas we were creating were inspired by baked goods: Gingerbread, Snickerdoodles, Cinnamon Rolls. We have a particular method of going about making a tea blend remind you just enough of something baked, and I was in kind of a rhythm with it.
The second was that Mister Tea tasted my first attempt at a "standard" chai, made a face, and told me it wasn't a basic chai, it was a cardamom chai. (My love for cardamom got away from me on that first test.) He didn't think it was bad, per se, just not what we had been looking for.
The last thing was a tweet from a friend. She was making cookies. Lemon Cardamom cookies. They sounded amazing. However, I was blending teas that weekend, with a personally set deadline, and could not take time out to bake anything. To mollify myself, I created a tea with the flavour I imagined for her cookies.
When we settled to name it, a friend who also reads and watches 'Game of Thrones' pointed out an obvious tie-in. Sansa's love for lemon cakes.
Now for the basics:
Organic Ingredients: Keemun Black Tea, Lemon Peel, Cardamom, Vanilla Powder
Batch Size: 3.3 ounces (approximately 30-35 cups of tea)
Options: Loose Tea (Bag, Tin), Teabags (Single, Sample, Bag)
Purchasing: Etsy
Cardamom can drop your blood sugar, so keep that in mind when drinking this tea.
* We are not officially attached to or licensed by or otherwise involved with any of the official agencies of the fandoms we homage. If any of these agencies have an issue with our teas, please let us know, and we will work things out.

What a nice surprise to find a care package from Gina on my front porch this week! Thank you so much Girlfriend! The first surprise was that my mail carrier actually came into the yard and stepped upon the porch to drop off the package. He's brave. Our mailbox is outside the fence and across the road, and it's a good thing my big protective dog, Mandy, wasn't in the yard at mail delivery time. Gina's package of gifties included two cat books, a set of decorative wrought iron kitchen utensils, a darling little "apple pie" pillow, and a little black and white stuffed kitty which immediately joined two others on my cat shelf. I have just the place for the utensil set and the pillow has already found a home in my kitchen. Those books are so cute! I'd never seen either of them so I look forward to sitting down and reading. The cat yearbook looks like a lot of fun. Thank you so much my blogging cyber friend. Your sweet care package was much appreciated.
I've been so consumed with working in the house and traveling to this one twice a day, that I've not blogged much lately, but a few weeks ago I posted about a package I received from Linda Parker (I'm still loving those samplers!) and I've now shared about receiving the package from Gina, but I neglected to mention the wonderful box I received from my dear angel cousin, Jeanette, about two weeks ago. I can't begin to list all the goodies she sent because I'm afraid I'll leave out something important, but there were all sorts of useful and sweet things for my new old home. I'll post a photo soon. Jeanette included a huge bag of the best homemade caramel corn I've ever tasted. By the way, J, it's GONE. Glenn and I are now hooked on your caramel corn. It's absolutely delicious.
I'm not sure how I've come to be so very blessed with such generous friends and angel cousin, but I love and appreciate all of them....and all of you who are so kind as to continue to read my humble ramblings. Thank you dear friends. All of you are very special to me.

The Gatekeepers: Inside the Admissions Process of a Premier College
The Gatekeepers: Inside the Admissions Process of a Premier College
Chris Tokuhama
Steinberg, J. (2002). The Gatekeepers: Inside the Admissions Process of a Premier College. New York: Viking Penguin.
Adapted from Say Yes to Education
Jacques Steinberg (1966 – ?) spent nearly 25 years at The New York Times as an education reporter, editor and blogger specializing in college admissions before joining Say Yes to Education, a non-profit organization, in early 2013. At Say Yes to Education, Steinberg focuses on managing and growing the national compact of colleges and universities that provide financial aid to students and creating programming to help those students prepare for, apply to, pay for, and graduate from college. Steinberg also created The Choice, The Times' college admissions and financial aid blog, in 2009, as well as the first-ever New York Times College Life Fair, which was held in Chicago in 2012.
Written by education reporter Jacques Steinberg, The Gatekeepers details the cycle of the college admissions process at Wesleyan, a selective liberal arts college in Connecticut.[1] The Gatekeepers represents one of the few books in recent years that attempts to elucidate the process of selective admission to American colleges and universities. Aimed at a general audience, The Gatekeepers relies largely on profiles of individuals—primarily admission officers and students—in order to guide readers through the process.
Introduction – This section largely addresses the murkiness of the college admission process in (highly) selective schools. The qualifier of "selective" is important here as the selection process tends to differ based on admission rate but it should be noted that the process addressed here is what is cemented in the popular imagination. The fungibility of "merit" is also introduced in this section (xvii). Also of note are the ways in which the obfuscation of the admission process and resulting stress influences behavior (ix/xv), a nod toward the impact of affirmative action with 1978's Regents of the University of California v. Bakke[2] (xi), and a history of the college admission process in America from the 1950s through the 1990s (xi-xiv).
Brief outline of the history of college admission in America as presented in The Gatekeepers
Legacy/connections (i.e. "inherited privilege") largely influential
Reaction to Civil Rights movements and 2nd wave feminism increased cultural attitudes toward diversity.
Need-blind admission became popular in order to admit students who could not necessarily pay for college.
Increased use of standardized testing as a more democratizing tool as reliance on privilege declined. Increase in test reliance is related to post-WWII changes to education and number of students applying to college.
College counseling became an industry.
"Arms race" begins among students competing for spots in selective college and among colleges competing for the best students.
Larger number of applicants led to increase in admission professionals as opposed to committees solely staffed by faculty.
Chapter 1 – Although a significant portion is devoted to the background of Ralph Figueroa, Steinberg's guide throughout this process, this section offers a reflection on the difference between an official message, perception, and reality. One way in which this intersection manifests is the way that college rankings by publications like U.S. News & World Report funnel students and families toward applying to a specific range of schools and how the metrics for the ranking system affect admission practices.[3] Representing another space in which perception, message, and reality abut is the concept of merit, particularly in institutions that value the nebulous idea of "diversity" (7); Ralph also notes that there are "things that society doesn't necessarily consider signs of intelligence but that are, in fact, pretty strong indicators of a kid's ability to be a successful college student" (21).
Chapter 2 – Delving more into how choices are made—by students/families and by institutions—this chapter explores the notion of appeal. For students who are the beginning of the process the value placed on criteria can seem somewhat arbitrary but not unfounded (34); for parents, prestige often plays a large role, particularly among recent immigrants and status-driven families (29/34). "At Harvard-Westlake, parents project their college fantasies onto their kids" (44). The chapter also contains an anecdote that may be potentially misleading, if well intentioned: in describing the advice that Ralph provides at an essay writing workshop, Steinberg quotes Ralph as saying "be true to who you are" (37), a message that is incomplete. Although this advice is positive in the abstract, one should be careful to note the degree to which an institution is receptive to creative, quirky, or non-traditional responses and furthermore realize that although an institution might be more flexible in what it deems acceptable (or beneficial), every institution allows for "freedom" within a range of possibilities. Inherent in this process is the institutions' desires for students to stand out but still exist in a framework of competitiveness. The example of the essay writing also underscores the value of understanding what it like to be on the receiving end of applications and what is palatable to readers given time constraints.
The chapter also tells the story of Becca Jannol, who ate a pot brownie and decided to use the incident as a topic for her college admission essay. Although the retelling is designed to make the reader sympathetic toward Jannol, it also illustrates one of the advantages of going to a private college prep school: there are ways in which the institution/community will come together to support students in ways that lend an obvious advantage to said students. Moreover, the profiles of the students—understandable, given Steinberg's journalistic background—also ignores the way in which most students can be made to seem appealing when considered as individual cases but this perspective is not representative of how selective admission views applications if it is doing its job correctly as it is attempting to build a class.[4]
Chapter 3 – Moving from travel to the office, this chapter presents a view both of the process and of the people involved in it. Of note is the depiction of diversity of experience among the staff (in terms of ethnicity, years worked, backgrounds, etc.) and the implication that an individual admission counselor understands the process as filtered through his or own history. Although the book briefly mentions examples of other selection processes it does not plumb the depths of how other offices work to admit a class (to be fair, it seems unlikely that the book in fact could provide such detail). As such, the process at Wesleyan may become a substitute for all admission processes in the popular imagination although some variation is introduced on pages 94 and 224. One must remember to ask a counselor to describe how the process works at their individual school.[5] And perception continues to be important for as Barbara-Jan Wilson, former Dean of Admission, notes, "guidance counselors and parents pay attention to stereotypes" (71). Similarly, Steinberg asserts that "anyone who's ever seen a college in a two-hour drive-by visit knows that the smallest of details, however trivial, can take on outsized importance" (86). What is suggested here is that students (and perhaps parents) seek a form of validation through their acceptance/choice and are also susceptible to appeals the reflect back on what the student already thinks of himself or herself.
In an aside about Wesleyan and its relationship to schools (65), Steinberg notes that admission offices make decisions for reasons that have nothing to do with an individual student. Although this paragraph underscores that admission offices, guidance counselors, and individual students look at the process through vastly different perspectives (e.g., individual/cohort/world), it fails to mention that the process of shuffling occurs among students who are all otherwise "qualified" (i.e., could handle the academic rigor and graduate).[6] As stated by senior admission officer Greg Pyke, "The first reason to admit always needs to be that you think the student can succeed here" (155).
One final note comes through the story of Jordan Goldman in the final pages (87-88) of the chapter: deciding between visiting Yale and Wesleyan, Jordan is swayed by the flexible curriculum of Wesleyan. Although the book does not touch on it here, there is a larger discussion about the ways in which colleges and universities must balance a student/consumer's desire for choice/freedom—which is not necessarily the same as an emphasis on, or interest in, interdisciplinarity—with a "core" education that prepares those students for life after graduation. It should also be considered that while nods are made to a breadth of applicants in the pool, the profiles so far largely center around students who can be described as standouts (a term that should not imply that they are outstanding in the conventional use of the word), which makes the students easy to root for and identify with. One might question to what extent these students are representative of the "typical" applicant.
Chapter 4 – This chapter opens with an introduction to the more quantitative side of enrollment management as it touches upon the implications of Early Decision policies.[7] Most notably is the way in which Early Decision policies affect yield, which provides a benefit for the admission office in terms of securing a freshman class and secondarily possibly provides a benefit to students in that they have secured admission to an institution.[8] Conversely, however, a common criticism of Early Decision is that it binds a student to a school early in the process before he or she has fully explored his or her options and must commit to a school prior to seeing a financial aid package, which means that only a certain population of students can consider Early Decision in the first place.
Perhaps the most valuable piece here, however, is the brief glimpse that an outsider gets at how the admission committee functions, both in terms of logic and with respect to the various pressures (e.g., time, institutional need, etc.) placed upon it. Here, not on the range of qualities considered is important but the way in which such factors are interpreted and evaluated: the concept of "intellectual curiosity" (96), for example, calls the question of just how an applicant demonstrates such an attribute. Concurrent with this is the noted pushback about "fairness" (100) and the consideration of how insiders must explain the process to a public that aligns college admission with the concept of pure meritocracy. Steinberg writes that what admission committees are ultimately looking for is a student who will "add"(103) to the class in some way—academically, leadership, diverse viewpoint—and the difficult concept for outsiders is that while all applicants typically have plus factors, the needs of the institution as a whole make some qualities more advantageous at a particular moment in time than others.[9]
Another key point is an understanding of how the college admission process affects the family (109); during the application process students are tasked with responsibility in ways that they may not have had before and the family must negotiate the changed relationship between parents and children.
Chapter 5 – Following Ralph's evaluation process, one gains a sense of how criteria in an application are weighed against each other in a variety of contexts. Readers attempt to consolidate the disparate elements of an application into a unified picture of who the applicant is and then this is weighed against various groupings (e.g., school, others with similar background/opportunity, previous admits, etc.). Steinberg also makes a point of highlighting the potential impact of displaying one's passion through the example of Tiffany Wang (135-136) and although one must be careful to consider how to convey such passion, the core idea is worth noting.
Chapter 6 – Counselor calls underscore the need to maintain truthful relationships between college counselors and admission staff.
Chapter 7 – The main theme in this chapter is an exploration of the ways in which an admission counselor's perspective shapes the admission process. Steinberg showcases the way in which unexamined biases can affect the decision-making process (183), an example that illustrates the need to understand how admission officers espouse not only institutional values but also a set of collective cultural values. The other point made near the end of the chapter (197-198) concerns how admission staff (and guidance counselors) can make the mistake of focusing on individuals to the detriment of the group; echoed in the Chapter 5's title of "Read Faster, Say No" and the prioritized consideration of the executive committee (184), the take home message here is that one must be continually conscious of the file that is in front of you while simultaneously picturing how one's actions affect the entire process.
Chapters 8, 9 and 10 – These chapters focus on the way that students can go about making a decision to attend a school once they have been admitted.
Epilogue – Although it functions mainly to provide closure in a manner similar to documentaries, the epilogue hammers home that finding the right school for a student is not just about admission or matriculation but ultimately how the student felt about the experience after graduating.

[1] Interestingly, the official name of the school is "Wesleyan University" as there is a "Wesleyan College" in Georgia but Wesleyan University labels itself as a liberal arts college.
[2] This case set precedent for allowing race to be considered as a plus factor in college admission, a concept that would be updated with Grutter v. Bollinger (2003) and Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin (2013) along with various cases at the state level (130, 150) like Hopwood v. Texas (1996) and California's Proposition 209.The issue of affirmative action is also discussed in more detail on pages 268 and 269.
[3] Recent discussion regarding a "ranking" system has also arisen in response to President Obama's College Scorecard, an effort that represents a move to enable better decision making in the college selection process. While many critics agree with the goals of the proposed plan, many argue that a ranking system is not the appropriate format for this information.
[4] See also page 152.
[5] It seems that a good counselor should be able to describe the pathway akin to "I'm a Bill" from Schoolhouse Rock
[6] See also pages 121 and 155.
[7] For more on the distinction between different types of admission policies, see "Seven Thing You Need to Know About Early Action." A round of reevaluation occurred in 2006 when Harvard announced its decision to abolish Early Decision and the issue remains under discussion for various institutions. See also page 270.
[8] In a callback to Chapter 1, we see that part of the importance for this is that yield impacts a school's rankings in U.S. News & World Report.
[9] One thing to ponder is the prominent display of self-effacing humor in Becca Jannol's essay to Georgetown (111). To what extent does self-effacing humor fit within a larger context of what endears people to readers? Does an ability to gently mock oneself demonstrate self-awareness? Put bluntly, to what extent is self-effacing humor a tactic, whether used intentionally or unintentionally?

I had one Cultural Visit I did not write about before. We visited a museum of the first female cosmonaut who was born near Yaroslavl.
I grew up on the other side of the ocean from all the celebrations in the then USSR. According to our TV it was not a good thing USSR was first in space. Seeing a picture of the cosmonauts with Nikita Kruschev, arms raised in triumph – over outer space? over the US? – brought back lots of memories of pounding shoes and bomb shelters. It was a long time ago. But it took awhile to process in the present.
I marveled, too, at how I totally missed a woman going up since I have long supported equal rights. So I checked out distracting events in June of '63. Governor George Wallace stood in the door of a school to stop integration. Pope John 23 died. A female cosmonaut did not register. Which was really too bad. She has an amazing story of being no one very famous or well trained but ready to work hard.
As much as I was rattled by the post-Soviet era from a distance, the people in Russia right now are living it in two generations. The older remember what they describe as the dictatorship era. Their biggest complaint (to us) is that they could not travel. The younger staff I worked with was in diapers when the USSR broke up. They have not known Communism except as another party in the elections. How will that change the attitude and priorities of Russia in the next 20 years? Fascinating.

(noun) offering, as in "an offering"
(verb) forfeit, relinquish
The first word that would come to mind on the 4th of July for most people in America would probably be the word "freedom", and with good reason. Freedom was the key issue motivating our Founding Fathers as they penned The Declaration of Independence. To this day, if there is a signature word describing the foundation and tenets of America, it would be the word "freedom".
On this 4th of July, 2014, in honor of those American heros who authored that precious and brilliant document, I would like to submit another word as being equally important…the word "sacrifice".
Without sacrifice there would be no freedom.
Take the time to research the suffering many of our Founding Fathers endured in upholding their pledge to this country and the beliefs in what America could be. They risked their own position and possessions in order to secure a better future for all people. They knew that if we lived by the words they had written and stayed truthful to them that we would truly be a society free of tyranny and oppression. These men are an astounding example of the kind of bravery, strength, faith and especially sacrifice required to gain and maintain freedom.
According to Webster's Dictionary the noun for "sacrifice" is the word "offering", as in "an offering". The word "offering" is then described as "a present or gift." (I am a dictionary junkie by the way!)
These beautiful words are a reminder of the greatest gift (sacrifice) of all, not only to Americans, but to people of all nations.
The Bible tells us in the book of Ephesians, chapter 5 verse 2, that Jesus Christ, the Son of God left His position in heaven, laid down His life and gave Himself to all of us "as an offering and a sacrifice." Christ made this ultimate sacrifice that we might be made free from the slavery and oppression of sin. Jesus tells us that if we live by His Word and truly believe, that we would then know the truth and the truth would make us free.
As we gather together in celebration of our nation's freedom, let's remember to celebrate true freedom in Jesus Christ. God Bless America!

As some of you have experienced in the Spoon/Mind Bending Workshop, what you resist persists. That is, by pushing away difficult or dark emotions, you are ironically actually intensifying them. Declaring war on your dark emotions is not the answer. Is there another way?
This is an extract from my journal demonstrating how I started this process of making peace with my emotions:
Today I had an opening conversation with what I call 'my dark passengers', also known as my 'dark emotions'. I noticed and acknowledged the sensation of a massive, heavy weight on my chest, so heavy it made breathing difficult. I imagined what this physical sensation could be, if it had a shape. And to my surprise, it was an elephant. Funny, since I tend to prefer mine white and 'hidden' behind the closed door, not on my chest. When I 'looked' closer I could see that this was a big heavy baby elephant, an orphan. How could I wish to avoid, chase away and even disown this elephant whose purpose was only to express emotions. How can I be angry or upset with an elephant for just being an elephant? How could I hate something that is only being true to its nature? I realized that by disowning my feelings I had banished many elephants into the cold and dark. How cruel and mean.
Because these elephants come and go, they don't define me but they are still a part of who I am in this moment – they make me human, alive rather than a robot. And when I thought about it, it is my mind who is the 'dark passenger', being overprotective, controlling and cruel – not my elephants. So, with a deep breath, I chose another way. Instead of trying to coax the elephant off my chest with a numbing distraction or with cruel words, I decided to embrace her. And this is how I make peace and rest with – rather than fight against – my elephants.
So what? What is the benefit of making peace? What I have noticed is that the so called dark emotions loose their hold over me, decreasing in intensity and that they include an invitation for integration and a general sense of peace. Overall, as Dr Kelly Bogan confirms, it is just healthier for us and those around us when we even only acknowledge what we're feeling rather than suppressing it.
I'd love to hear more about your experiences.
Be Happy,

CE problems in Windows 10
I am trying to play games in Chrome, Chromium and Firefox. I am using Windows 10 on a new laptop. I disabled my anti-virus and malware protection but still can't change speed. I tried Run as Admin for both the browser and the CE but it still doesn't work. In Firefox it says DLL injection failed. Am I missing something? Some advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Re: CE problems in Windows 10
For starters, we're missing something. How can you say you play games, when you talk about speedhack. You mean farm?..
Re: CE problems in Windows 10
Seriously? Have you checked the link you posted? Something tells me I'm talking to some god damn bot.

The Broadway director David Cromer is in talks with American Theater Company about directing the Chicago company's spring production of Jonathan Larson's "Rent."
Artistic director PJ Paparelli confirmed the discussions Monday but said nothing was yet set. "It depends on David's schedule," Paparelli said. "We won't know for a couple of weeks."
Cromer's schedule opened up a little with the postponement of the Broadway production of "Sweet Bird of Youth" starring Nicole Kidman, but he remains in development work on the Broadway-bound "Yank."
Cromer has said publicly that he is dying to direct a musical; his ties both to Chicago and American Theater Company are long-standing. "Rent" is being billed as a co-production with About Face Theatre.

A Upper Marlboro couple is facing charges in Montgomery County and Anne Arundel County for allegedly distracting women while grocery shopping, then robbing them of their wallets.
Last week, Karen Steelman and Kenneth Harris were charged on numerous counts of theft and credit card fraud. Police recovered more than $50,000 in fraudulently purchased merchandise, numerous victims' credit cards and identification, and two handguns from their Prince George's County home.
Monday, the two were accused of pick-pocketing a woman at Whole Foods Market in Silver Spring in June. Steelman has been linked to six cases in Anne Arundel County beginning in February 2012.
The couple could face additional charges in neighboring jurisdictions.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai has met with Qatari Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani in Doha to discuss opening a Taliban office in the Persian Gulf state.Karzai discussed "issues of mutual interest" with the Qatari emir on Sunday, the Qatar News Agency (QNA) reported. The state news agency said the talks examined "the perspectives for peace in Afghanistan" but did not did not provide further details of the low-profile meeting in Doha. "We will discuss the peace process, of course, and the opening of an office for the Taliban in Qatar," presidential spokesman Aimal Faizi said on Saturday before Karzai left Kabul for Doha. "If we want to have talks to bring peace to Afghanistan, the main side must be the Afghan government's representatives -- the High Peace Council, which has members from all the country's ethnic and political backgrounds," Faizi added. A statement from Karzai's office said he was accompanied on the two-day state visit by Foreign Minister Zalmai Rassoul and High Peace Council Chairman Salahuddin Rabbani. Last year, the Taliban announced reaching a preliminary agreement with Qatar to open a liaison office in the Arab state. The Afghan president had previously accused foreign powers of "plotting" against the peace process in Afghanistan. Karzai, without pointing at any particular country, said in February that he had told the US government during a recent visit to Washington that "no foreign party must try to take the Afghan peace process in its hand." The US-led war in Afghanistan began in 2001. The offensive removed the Taliban from power, but insecurity continues to rise across Afghanistan, despite the presence of about over 100,000 US-led troops.

5 Things Reynolds American's Management Wants You to Know
Ten years into its run under the current business structure, Reynolds American is at a critical juncture in its corporate history. The company is in the process of acquiring Lorillard amid a changing industry landscape that could witness the rise of e-cigarettes. Nevertheless, management is confident that shareholders will receive even more value for their ownership over the next 10 years than they received over the past 10 years. Here are some of the things Reynolds American's CEO had to say during their latest conference call with analysts.
"We see the growth of the vapor category as a great opportunity for R.J. Reynolds Vapor Company, which is currently expanding its VUSE digital vapor cigarette nationally." -- CEO Susan Cameron
Although Lorillard's blu eCigs brand captures a category-leading 41% market share, the e-cigarette brand will be sold off as part of Reynolds American's acquisition of the company. That leaves Reynolds American's VUSE e-cigarette as the company's entrant in the battle for control of the nascent market. Although it just began national distribution this summer, VUSE is already in 21,000 retail outlets. The brand's market share should grow significantly in the coming months; shareholders should keep an eye out for this number in quarterly reports to gauge the brand's popularity relative to blu and other established e-cigarette brands.
"[T]he company's cigarette volume was negatively affected by one less shipping day, as well as a reduction in wholesale inventory levels. Even so, it is clear that the underlying drivers of the industrywide decline in cigarette volume includes some traditional economic pressure points, as well as the growing demand for smoke-free alternative[s], including vapor products." -- Cameron
It's no secret that cigarette volume is declining and will continue to decline. In the second quarter, Reynolds American's cigarette volume declined 6.8%, compared with just 4.4% for the industry. Even so, Reynolds American's cigarette market share declined just 0.1% thanks to share gains by Camel and Pall Mall, which account for more than 70% of the company's cigarette volume. Still, VUSE needs to capture a large market share to make up for the steepening decline of the combustible-cigarette market.
"Grizzly [brand snuff] has begun one of its biggest marketing campaigns yet, called Days of Roar, which gives brand enthusiasts a chance to win prizes by mixing it up and sharing outdoor stories and photos." -- Cameron
Amid declining cigarette volume, Reynolds American is pushing its snuff brands through increased marketing campaigns. Snuff accounts for 9% of the company's revenue and 13% of its operating income. Unlike cigarette revenue, annual snuff revenue is growing by mid- to high single digits. Moreover, Reynolds American has a commanding 34.5% market share through the first six months of the year, up from 33.7% in 2013. Continued success in this category could help offset pressure on the bottom line from falling cigarette volume.
"The quarter's achievements rounded out an excellent first half for RAI, and that allowed us to tighten our guidance for the full year. We now expect gross and adjusted EPS in the range of 5% to just over 8% compared with last year's adjusted results." -- Cameron
Despite declining cigarette volume and uncertainty in the e-cigarette market, management raised the lower end of its full-year earnings-per-share guidance from $3.30 to $3.35. If Reynolds American hits this low-end mark, it would represent 5% year-over-year earnings-per-share growth. At the high end of its estimate ($3.45) it would see 8.2% growth. That's about the same pace as the 7.4% jump in earnings-per-share growth in 2013. However, investors should keep an eye on revenue as well; eventually, the company may not be able to increase its profit margin as much as it has in the past. If that were to occur, Reynolds American's earnings growth could dwindle.

Just spied a local parent and his school aged son heading off towards the nearby slope pulling their sledges. Can't see the school through the storm but me guess is it's shut for the day. Where's the bulldog spirit? Hurrumph. Ah, I now also notice that I forgot to leave the cars at the business end of the driveway - so it's shovel time again. Mrs 4fun! Get your wellies on.
On the other hand I had just been wondering how snowed in we might be here, at windy 700 ft above sea level, when the letterbox clanged and today's post arrived.
Right, must press on, these Laptop & GAP insurance websites won't surf themselves.

1 March (Part 2) - Double yellow hazard
was really disappointing that after Cabinet Member Peter Craske hyped us up with his promise of determined action against fly tippers and what he called
Tossers that his right hand man Steve Didsbury ignored
the clear photographic and video evidence against someone caught in the act.
At the same site where Council bins are abused stand two vans. They are parked against a fence which was painted so long ago that it needs to be done again. The lack of fence paint behind the vans indicates how long they have been there. They are covered with algae and are used by the same man who Steve Didsbury decided to ignore.
The vans are on private land and used as a storage facility for the owner's building company. Look closely and you can see the vans are crammed full of wood and junk.
The builder doesn't live nearby, he has simply discovered a handy spot to dump two old wrecks which no one other than a few residents care about. Bexley Council is unconcerned because the vans do not stand on its land and the managing agent (Centro Ltd) similarly ignores their presence.
An impasse! Maybe someone should report the vans to the fire brigade. Crammed full of wood with more underneath they must be a a potential fire hazard.

Such pretty blooms! Love the Viburnum and that pretty Columbine. Great to see Henrietta helping out!ReplyDelete
What a pretty show of spring blooms! I particularly liked the iris, such nice colour. Here in London spring hasn't got just as far yet, but my Viburnum eskimo has big balls about to burst and the Lily of the Valley has started to emerge.ReplyDelete
HA! great photo of the kitty. everything is beautiful but I LOVE that iris!ReplyDelete

What a beautiful garden you must have! All perennial flowers are my favorites, I love the idea of planting them once and they return every year for many years to come.ReplyDelete
Beautiful photos, spring flowers are just lovely aren't they? I also have a kitty helper who works about as hard as yours...ReplyDelete
Lovely lovely photos Rebecca. I think that if I had a large property I would plant Viburnum shrubs aswell as they are a beautiful addition to the garden in Spring. You're a little ahead of me as my columbine flowers are not in flower yet but my dicentra has just started.ReplyDelete
This is my first visit to your garden. I will be returning. I, too, like perenniels. I'll be adding columbine and bleeding heart this year.ReplyDelete
I LOVE your shot of the cat...perfect! Your blooms are looking great too...love all the white!ReplyDelete
Cats do their bit Becks! They make the world a more beautiful place. And boy, don't they know it, lol.ReplyDelete
Hello, I just found your blog on GBBD. Lovely blooms and critters you have there! I have what looks like the same columbine in my garden, inherited from a previous owner. Gets really big and seeds all over the place, but I love that blue color!ReplyDelete
Great blooms!ReplyDelete
I have that Snowball, too!
I am just getting to know Columbines - Love your blue ones!
Cats and Chickens - two things every garden needs! (I have cats, but no chickens).
Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!

You haven't weeded your garden?!! I need to borrow Henrietta! ;) Your garden looks great - and it's nice to know that there comes a time when it doesn't have to be so much maintenance. Lovely irises and that blue columbine is wonderful. The viburnum is fabulous!ReplyDelete

DOVER, Del. – Junior Kelsey Verica scored a career-best 14 points with a single-game high of three long-distance shots as the Salisbury University women's basketball team ended its regular season with a win over Capital Athletic Conference opponent Wesley College, 66-57.
Salisbury (14-11, 7-5 CAC) and Wesley kept the opening minutes of the contest close as the teams exchanged baskets with neither team leading by more than a bucket.
Wesley (3-22, 0-12 CAC) would take its final lead of the afternoon, 15-13, as Karen Wearden's jumper from Jazmine Miller gave the Wolverines the edge with 10:30 to play in the half.
The Sea Gulls then went on a nine-point spurt starting with sophomore Courtney McManus' three from classmate Maggie King. Freshman Julia McLaughlin hit two-points from the free-throw line before converting a jumper and layup.
McManus finished the contest with 12 points, nine coming from three-point range, and added four assists and three rebounds. McLaughlin pulled down five boards and went 4-for-8 from the floor for 10 points and three steals.
With 1:22 left in the half, Verica pulled up and hit a three from McManus as SU built its lead to 36-22.
The Wolverines would sink a shot of their own from behind the arc from Miller and then Rachelle Allen put two in off the glass and converted one of two free throws to move Wesley within eight, 36-28, as the teams entered halftime.
In the second half, Verica scored nine of her 14 points, going 5-for-9 from the floor in the contest.
The closest Wesley would get to SU was after Pez Scott hit a three-pointer in the first minute and a half of the second period, moving the Wolverines within six, but SU's offense took a commanding 49-33 lead, going on a 10-point run and never looked back.
Salisbury shot 41.7 percent from the floor in the second half, 43.6 percent for the game.
Wesley would put together a 13-point unanswered run late in the second half, but the Sea Gulls held on for the win.
Sophomore Anna Hackett led the Gulls with 16 points while the Wolverines were led by Miller with 18 points and four threes. Hackett has now surpassed 750 points with the effort for 757 career points.
The Sea Gulls now look toward conference play, beginning on Tuesday, Feb. 19. Salisbury is seeded fourth in tournament play and will host fifth-seed St. Mary's (Md.) College. Check www.suseagulls.com for game time as it becomes available on Saturday evening.

Science is often compared with, unfavorably or favorably depending on who you ask, religion. While religion is closed, science is open. Religion is unempirical while science seeks to understand the natural world. Religion requires faith while science requires evidence. Science is, of course, immensely important to modern life. Unfortunately, the popularization of science is undermining some of the very values which make science so useful.
Science has become a buzzword. You can buy t-shirts with the phrase "because science." By itself, this is not objectionable. It reflects wonder at our understanding of the laws of nature which govern our existence. However, it also reflects more disturbing trends. The idea that science reveals Truths, with a capital T. Science is no longer about the process of discovery, but rather the forced acceptance of certain facts. Rejection of those facts implies anti-thesis to science.
I don't mean to science should never be used to inform the ignorant. Vaccines are a perfect example of established science being ignored with deadly consequences. GMOs are another example. However, too often the certainty of the hard sciences is applied where no such certainty exists.
Bill Nye embodies some of the less admirable qualities of the trend. As a popularizer of science, he displays a confidence in some of his beliefs far above the degree warranted. For example, he claims it is a myth that "we give money to Africa and nothing changes." Then he summarizes data showing that infant mortality has improved. While not technically false, he shows a basic misunderstanding of the complexity of economics. The fact that infant mortality improved as aid was being given hardly proves that aid itself improves infant mortality. Further, economists have reached a consensus that foreign aid, while able to improve lives, cannot spark economic growth.
Another recent example was an academic paper finding that the U.S. is an oligarchy. Because it was academic and confirmed people's priors, it drew a lot of attention. Yet the conclusion of the paper was fairly unsurprising; that wealthy people have more influence over policies than the poor or the middle class. But with the imprimatur of science, the U.S. officially became an oligarchy, despite the difficulty in even defining the term in a meaningful, testable, and uncontroversial manner.
We shouldn't simply accept the latest scientific paper which confirms our biases. We should hold our beliefs to the strength of evidence which supports them. Part of this includes acknowledging ignorance. Society is complex. Social science is hard. Pretending it isn't and branding non-believers as opposed to science only hurts the advancement of knowledge in society.
