Working mom on the school run
March 23, 2012 15:47:54 Posted at March 23, 2012 15:47:54 Photos:
Here's Sandra Bullock with son Louis on the school run yesterday. That kid is so cute. I feel like he's always the same size though. Blame Duana for this. As soon as she pointed out that Britney's kids seem like they never grow, growing became part of my awareness.
Sandy's been in LA for a while. I'm told she's working on Gravity reshoots. The film opens in November. Prime award season, holiday box office scheduling. And why not. Gravity also features George Clooney. That's two major major stars headlining a feature which is why some are saying it could contend. Sometimes though, mashing together big names can fall flat. Remember The Mexican?

Xsane Problem: Recognizes Webcam as Scanner (?)
Due to a sale at my university's computer store, I decided to purchase a new HP Deskjet F4480 all-in-one unit. I have tested its printing abilities and it works remarkably well in Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64. However, the scanning function is malfunctioning and I know that it is not a hardware issue.
I have found that I have been able to scan documents with other HP models via Trisquel (the FSF's answer to Ubuntu) within VirtualBox. My theory is that there is something wrong with my build of SANE and/or Xsane and have tried compiling the former from source to fix my problem.
Every time I run "sane-find-scanner", I get the following output in my terminal:
device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname BisonCam, NB Pro virtual device
When I run lsusb, it displays
Bus 001 Device 015: ID 03f0:7711 Hewlett-Packard
Does anyone know how I can 1.) disable my webcam as being recognized as my scanner, and 2.) how to get my scanner functioning properly in Ubuntu 10.04?
Thank you to anyone in advance for helping me out with this predicament.

Arizona Coyotes
Coyotes likely changing names as part of lease agreement
Hockey looks to be staying in the Valley after the Glendale City Council approved a 20-year arena lease agreement with the Phoenix Coyotes Monday night.
But in order to stay in Glendale, the organization apparently had to agree to one small stipulation.
As part of the new lease, CBSSports.com's NHL writer Brian Stubits reported the team will apparently need to agree to a name change before being sold to potential buyer Greg Jamison.
Here's what the lease says, as it was dug up by Sports Documents.
The Team Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the name of the Team changed to the "Arizona Coyotes" as soon as is commercially feasible.
While not everything in the lease can be described as such, this actually seems pretty reasonable. The City of Glendale built the arena and is going to pay a lot of money every year to keep the team in its city, after all. It makes sense they wouldn't be too appreciative of the franchise continuing to bear the name of another city when Glendale is taking such a big risk and paying so much out of its stretched budget to keep the team.
The change likely won't have any effect on the team's jerseys, color schemes and logo. The franchise has always focused on the Coyotes mascot and not the city name.
This would be the second such change for a Valley team. In March of 1994, owner Bill Bidwill had the Cardinals change their name from Phoenix to Arizona.
If the change is approved, the Suns and Mercury would be the only teams in town with Phoenix in front of their names.

Skip to comments.For anyone who is hungry or eating poorly, I have a secret to share. (Hussein's America)
Posted on 02/01/2009 5:26:12 PM PST by Libloather
For anyone who is hungry or eating poorly, I have a secret to share.
Here is some advice for those who are hungry:
My partner and I don't have enough money to eat well and neither do our friends. But we have a little secret I'd like to share with you--on one condition--you have to share the food you find with others and also use good judgment. This works best if you live in a suburb or a small city. (Those in NYC and LA might want to ignore this advice.) I live in a city of about a million people.
Find the area-wide warehouse distribution center for any of the national upscale grocery stores in your region. (I'd rather not name names, but I think you can figure out which ones I'm talking about). There will be an area where trucks are loading massive amounts of new food into the warehouse. Because these stores cater to upscale clientele, they will throw out pallets of food if some items have superficial packaging imperfections (i.e. dented but intact hard plastic, etc.) Because sales are low, they are also throwing out food that is 'less new' but perfectly edible. For example: if new produce arrives, unsold produce will be discarded en masse, even if it will stay good for another 10 days.)
Over the past few months, we have found boxes of whole wheat pizzas, boxes filled with organic frozen dinners (we took about 6 boxes containing 200+ dinners, left the rest), bananas, about 300 pounds of soy nuts, enough baby organic spinach to feed hundreds of people, cookie dough, dips and sauces of all sorts (hundreds of containers), hundreds of boxes filled with organic yogurt, expensive sparking water, pounds of nuts, organic baby mixed greens, etc. We feed many families with what we find.
Here are some tips:
1) Go after 10pm and before 3am.
2) Don't go to STORES themselves, they tend to throw garbage on top of their dumpsters and may even throw poisons on top to keep animals away. You're only likely to find a few busted yogurts with paper and coffee grinds thrown on top of them. Only hit the distribution centers.
3) You will be more successful at high-end stores with a picky clientele. At the regular store they can sell foods in dented packages at a discount. They won't do that at stores that have the aura of health and purity.
4) Use good judgment when dealing with unpackaged and unboxed food. Most of what I find is double and triple boxed food (food in plastic, in a box, in a larger box, inside a huge box all still sealed).
5) Use good judgment in dealing with expired foods. If it is straight out of deep freeze, we've found the "best if used by" dates to be pretty irrelevant. My entire community of friends has eaten on frozen food even 2 months past the "best if used by" date. If the crates of food are still hard-frozen, you're very likely to be AOK. Open one item and do a smell test. Throw away anything that doesn't pass your muster. Use common sense.
6) Always read up on massive recalls of a type of food. If the gov't is saying some tomatoes have salmonella, you might want to think twice about tomatoes.
7) Be careful with children, the elderly, and the immuno-compromised. Have the healthy people eat first as a precaution.
8) Wear comfortable shoes, protective clothing and bring a flashlight.
9) Be aware that your attempt to feed yourself may be trespassing or even illegal. Or it may not be a big deal. Our theory is that upscale 'holistic' stores are less likely to be brutal to foragers because it wouldn't be good advertising to refuse poor people your garbage (or advertise how much they waste.)
10) I'm personally most suspicious of dairy items. Toss anything that doesn't taste PERFECT. But don't worry, you'll find a hell of a lot of perfect tasting food.
11. Share.
If you're germ-o-phobic think of it this way: people touch your prepared foods at restaurants all the time.
Good luck. Please kick this if you think it will help someone.
The things that really are wasted, just in the U.S.-yikes!
How are you getting this food? I"m sure nobody is giving it to you or stacking it neatly for you to pick up. It must be thrown away in the trash and these places do not like people going through their garbage. There may be laws about this now - I'm not sure.
I wish I could participate in this. That perfectly good food is thrown away makes me ill. But I don't think it's as easy as it seems. Perhaps others here have a more up to date perspective on this.
13- As a general rule, if in doubt about the freshness of foraged food, take off one of your sandals and smell it. If the foraged food smells worse, leave it. If it smells about the same, give it to others. If it smells better, take it home to your partner citizen.
Is this different from the gleaners of fields after harvest back in the days of medieval serfdom?
Probably a little more upscale than simply begging on the corner.
Not really...
People used to go to the bin at the nurseries to pick up the thrown out plants. Well, the neighborhood nurseries realized this and started dousing their plants with weed killer when they put them in the bin so whatever you picked up would be dead in two days. That is wasteful. Amazing. Why didn't they discount them or replant into larger containers, I can't tell you.
part of it is lawyers and part of it is they figure you are more likely to come in and buy something if you can't get it for free.

Resources for job seekers during the recession
Try a church or make friends at a mom & pop grocery or small restaurant. But make friends first. Maybe do some volunteer work at a church and see what turns up. Ditto for fine restaurants & their back doors. Also try the bakery outlets. Food can only keep so long.
During the Great Depression, my grandparents never turned away someone who came to the back door asking for food.
Finally, get some beans, eggs, those chicken and beef broth cubes and milk. Make soup with the beans & broth and boil the eggs. Cut the milk a little but it'll still taste good.
Start a barter gig. Think of something you can trade for food. 1 hour's work, maybe 2. Could be work a day's food.
Find coupons. Use them.
THis is when we help each other, folks.
Great read, tells how these people dive for food and then give it out on the street later :D
As bad as it is now, it was worse before. Legal "food rescue" was an extremely risky (in the legal sense) proposition prior to the Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act (1996). The cretinous parasitic trial lawyers fought that one tooth and nail ("to protect poor people from businesses looking to offload their disposal costs"), and have been chipping away ever since.
Well, if it works for you... where I live you'd need to have a Conceal & Carry license to go where the food terminal is, particularly between the time you are suggesting 10 p.m. and 3 a.m. What do YOU do for a living? I and most of my friends work and get up at 5-6 a.m. for work, etc. so being out at 11 p.m. foraging for food isn't going to be very good for the sleep cycle.
No thanks. While it might be a great way to save money, my life is more valuable to me.
Dumpster-Diver. Some mother's son. Such a high calling.
By the way, I used to run a food bank at our church. We got all sorts of give-aways by the markets. So much of the whining is a few decades old.
I swear half the population doesn't know how to even COOK anymore....except to put it in the microwave
It's a way to get a balanced meal for all and enjoy each other.
We might play penny-ante poker afterwards.
One of my favorite memories is making a roaster pan of popcorn, a pitcherful of koolaid - after we mother's had come up with $1.00 - the price of a station wagon full of kids and adults for a drive-in movie.
One dollar was not a pittance back then.
"I swear half the population doesnt know how to even COOK anymore....except to put it in the microwave"
OK. I'll bite on that. New item: microwavable nail soup. ;>
About 10 of my friends and I average 3 times a month through the year doing this. Great fellowship!
A while back KFC had a buy-one-get-one-free bucket of chicken deal. I only needed 3 pieces for my family but I'd buy the bucket, get one free, take out the three pieces I wanted, then I went to the local park where homeless people hang out and leave it. They got it while it was still hot!
It just seemed a shame not to take KFC up on the deal and help others out at the same time.
That is working in the ministry. Though, it should apply today for all.
We rarely find large cans of food that aren't dented in Sam's. We quit buying there, anyway, because of all of those phony "fair trade" signs on products with jacked-up prices (products that have nothing to do with trade exchanges or tariffs).
20 1950s sized candy bars and 2 to four Saturday matinees.
Now, how about you fine specimens take that sign up in the mountains and read it loud and proud to the bears. ;)
Apparently, you or your folks didn't have to survive through the Great Depression; that experience imprinted a different outlook on frugality...
I've seen whole citrus groves of perfectly good fruit left to drop and rot because it wasn't the "right" size, meaning too big. And no one could pick up a single orange for fear of arrest for theft.
Waste? Most don't know a fraction of what takes place.
Great fellowship!
I agree! We have a Bible study twice a month at someone's home. Each couple brings food. We are always trying new things and each time the menu is really varied. There are no leftovers!
It's not like FReepers to do the latter -- FReepers generally believe strongly in respecting private property.
My husband and I look for work around our home for out-of-work people. So far, we'e gotten beautiful custom valances, new cabinets and countertops in our laundry room, and a lot of odd jobs around the house done that we really needed help on.
We were born into the Great Depression and know how such situations are both degrading and humiliating. What makes me extremely angry is that it was all avoidable - then and now.
Sorry, at first I thought this was sarcasm, now I realize it was not. Soon we may all be doing the same.
Very nice of you!
I looked up the recipe and reviews and it must be delicious. I have never had it. Think I should try it for the group?
That's true, but even freezing it was too much chicken!
I suppose if we were starving I would do that.
I did make it one time with a pizza crust, left out the leak and added some Italian sausage. That was good also. Very strong flavors!
In most places, you aren't trespassing if it isn't posted, or you aren't told to get off.
Also, it's not illegal unless you're caught.
Should you try it on them? Sure, but it would be a good idea for it not to be the 'main' dish. Go for it.
Interesting advice, and it's a real shame that so much food is wasted.
The "please kick this" at the end tells me it might have been pulled from DU. FWIW.
Don't hold back.
Both of those statment are BS and you know it! If not, you had better git your property posted.
Last year they also kept the jumbos and sold them to a potato chip producer. Smaller sweet potato farmers harvest everything and sell them according to size and grade, from #1's to canners, which are the small or oddly shaped, that will be cut and canned. They can't afford the waste.
You are correct though ... if people only realized.
I found this out after asking if I could have it for my chickens.

Franklin's Mihalko passes 1,000 points for her career as Sabers secure second in SEC
Forward one of just four to reach barrier
Franklin - She's part of the secret fraternity now, with the rings, hidden handshakes and oaths of loyalty and friendship now belonging only to her and a select few others.
Okay, so maybe Franklin senior forward Cassidy Mihalko didn't get all that, but Jan. 8, on a putback jumper from near the basket during a' 59-31 victory over Kenosha Tremper, she did pass the coveted 1,000-point mark for her career.
"It was awesome," said her coach Tony Kathrens. "It was her classic teardrop jumper."
And then came the swag.
"We gave her the game ball (Jan. 9)," added Kathrens, "and the next day (Jan. 10), the t-shirts arrived. See, she spoiled my surprise a little (laughs). I was anticipating having her not do this for a few more games, so I didn't order the t-shirts right away. But then she put up games of 37, 31 and 27 (points) and now here we are. We got those t-shirts on Thursday and we wore them as warm-ups during Friday's game (before the 58-50 win over Racine Case)."
How cool are the t-shirts by the way?
"They're pretty funny," said the 5-11 forward headed to California Baptist. "They're black and they say 'Cassidy hits 1,000 points' and then there's a picture of Gumby (the cartoon figure from the 1960s) spinning a basketball on his finger."
"Gumby" is Mihalko's nickname for her long, long arms and impossible bending and jumping ability.
Making school history
Heading into this week, Mihalko's 1,023 points is preceded in school history only by the late Christine Rathke (1,515), Laura Barczak (1,150) and Debbie Brust (1,071).
Pretty impressive company in her eyes.
"Only a few others have done it," she said, "and that feels really good. Ultimately, of course, I can't do it without the team. It just can't happen any other way. But this is really nice. When I started out here, it (1,000 points) was one of my goals. To do that I had to be consistent, which is something I try to pride myself on."
She said everybody on the bench knew when it happened, as they all jumped up when she hit the putback.
Her future coach at California Baptist was also aware, texting a note of congratulations to her.
Mihalko's secret weapon
Kathrens also pointed to Mihalko's versatility as a major reason why she was able to achieve this milestone, taking note of her secret weapon: the otherwise seldom-used mid-range jumper, the shot that got her to the 1,000-point mark.
"It wasn't anything I was trying to do special," Mihalko said. "It was just something I worked on in the last few years when I realized how beneficial and useful it was. Because there isn't always going to be a clear lane to the basket and the three-pointers aren't always going to drop. It's just something good to have."
The returning NOW All-Suburban selection Mihalko is trying not to make too big a deal of this achievement. A series of important games awaits, including a Jan. 25 date at home against archrival and Southeast Conference leader Oak Creek (7-0, 11-1) and she wants to keep the focus on the team. The team (6-1, 10-2 overall) will also be at Kenosha Bradford on Tuesday.
"We're really starting to come together, especially since we won the Rathke (tourney just after Christmas)," she said. "I hope it (that level of play) sticks with us the rest of the year."
Against Case
Mihalko was right to focus on the team, especially in the win over the defending league champion Case team on the road last Friday. Point guard Katie Nord tried to go, but was eventually knocked down by a case of the flu. Meanwhile, Mihalko herself fouled out with about four minutes to go and the Sabers nursing a small lead against the tenacious Eagles.
"My stomach didn't start feeling better until after the game," joked Kathrens of the fix that Franklin was in.
Jenny Eickhorst slid over to handle the point position and Nala Mudd also helped fill in some of the gaps in the guard line.
Franklin was down 9-0 in that game before getting things going. The Eagles still held a 20-15 advantage by the end of the first period. Then in the second quarter, the Sabers switched from a 1-3-1 zone to a man defense and were able to surge ahead 29-24 at the half.
The lead got up to 10 in the second half, but case held in there and then late in the game, Brette Logic hit a three-pointer for the Eagles to close the gap to three points. But Franklin was able to make just enough free throws down the stretch (16 of 28 overall) to hold off the Eagles.
Despite fouling out, Mihalko still finished with 19 points ("That didn't feel very good," she said of sitting on the bench in the final minutes) while Eickhorst had 17 and Morgan McCuen nine.
Another person who filled in big was freshman forward Carly Graverson, who had 12 defensive rebounds.
"She's just a warrior," Kathrens said. "This was good for us. It showed that we could grind out big wins when we're short-handed."
Things went a lot easier against Tremper, as the score was 31-17 at the half.
Mihalko, who got her big record-setting basket in the second half, finished with 27 points, while Eickhorst led eight other scorers with eight points.
And now with milestone in hand, the team race now awaits Mihalko and the Sabers.
"We're at the halfway point and I think we now have it down pat," she said. "We know the system. Now it's just a matter of executing and being more consistent."

Haarlem, The Netherlands– August 23, 2007 - In anticipation of the official release of their dynamic fantasy Action RPG game for the PC, AVENCAST: Rise of the Mage, leading Publisher Lighthouse Interactive today revealed the final box shot featuring the hero performing one of his devastating magical spells while being hunted by demonic monsters.
Scheduled to release in October 2007, this new Action RPG successfully combines fast-paced and dynamic combat elements with a solid RPG foundation to create a compelling story-driven gaming experience that's a blast to play! AVENCAST will also be Windows® Vista™ compatible.
As the sun rises over Avencast, the renowned academy of magic; a young adept begins his perilous journey. In a world of wizardry, wonder and untold mystery, you must undertake some of the most diverse quests to hone your abilities in spell casting, weaponry and melee combat. Your martial skills are soon put to the test as demonic monsters of unknown ancient origin descend upon Avencast turning the academy into a horrific state of chaos and destruction.
Armed with over 50 combat moves and spells, and a vast arsenal of equipment items, you must uncover the source of these ominous happenings while vanquishing an onslaught of fiendish enemies. Treachery and deceit reveal themselves as the vicious army of adversaries beleaguers your frail haven threatening Avencast's very existence. Amidst the mayhem, an astonishing truth unfolds which will forever change the battle scarred Wizard.
AVENCAST: Rise of the Mage is accessible to novice RPG game players, but it will also challenge core RPG and Action fans. Both combat and non-combat interactions create a perfect balance between brains and brawn. By requiring players to bring their own combat and strategic skills to the forefront, they will have the excitement of crafting a powerful character unleashing their hero's potential.
• Cast Lethal Spells from Different Skill Trees– Surrounded by vicious foes, unleash a mighty soul magic spell. The pure agglomeration of energy alone produces a warp in the surrounding atmosphere before the catastrophic nova demolishes your enemies. Blood Magic (elementally charged blows with varying speeds, ranges, and damage properties) and Soul Magic (covers all kinds of ranged magic spells allowing better area control)– both allow players to summon reinforcements during combat.
• Perilous Quests– While brawn and agility will win most battles, acumen and strategic thinking are necessary to survive challenging quests.
• Fluid Combat System– Chain together spells and easily execute lethal attacks using an innovative system that favors skillful gameplay over dull mouse clicking. Unleash your hero's potential as you bring your own player skills to each intense battle.
• Strong Player Personification&Character Development - Acquire new equipment, armor, weapons and spell casting skills to craft a powerful character.
• Over 30 Nightmarish Monsters with Advanced AI– Each with versatile combat strategies, attacks, and defensive moves dependant upon the player's behavior and attack strategy.
• State-of-the-art 3D Engine– Stunning graphics enhanced with advanced visual effects make for an impressive display of devastating spell casting.
• Many Hours of Exciting Gameplay– Set in diverse worlds with both indoor and outdoor environments to explore.
• Attractive to a Broad Range of Players– An Action RPG at its core, but dynamic gameplay and adventure-like quests make AVENCAST attractive to a broad range of game players.

Good value if on sale
"Got this on clearance, probably wouldn't have paid full retail for it. Colors are darker in person, but not a deal breaker. Shoes run narrow for my wide feet but not uncomfortably so, though I can definitely feel it. Kinda tight at the opening where you tie the laces. Feels like shoe really grips your foot. Had to undo top shoelace holes to make it work. Lightweight cushion makes it comfortable to walk. Runs a little long but fits well where I can still wiggle my toes. Overall, good value for the money."

Basically Satisfied
"I bought these to replace my old walking shoes after reading prior reviews that said how comfortable these shoes are and how they wear them to Zumba. They may be fine for short walks, but I'm afraid to wear them on my longer 10K walks. The soles are thinner than what I was expecting, so I'm afraid there won't be enough support. These definitely aren't the cushy, supportive athletic shoes all of the prior reviews had me expecting. Thinking I'm going to have to keep looking for new walking shoes."

Pantone 20th Century in Color $40
This is a gorgeous book, and a must for anyone interested in color and design. Broken down by decade and theme, the book is full of vintage illustrations accompanied by the dominant Pantone colors in each one, as well as an interesting overview of the history. While of course fashions in color change over time, this book makes that elegantly clear. From to the blues of Maxwell Parrish to the five flavors of iMac in the 90s to the bright pop of anime, you'll end up with a much deeper understanding of the aesthetic landscape.

Resolutions? WHAT resolutions???!!!
This is the case for so many of us. Quite frankly that's why I never "resolve" to exercise. Why set myself up for failure? I'll admit it right here, right now. I hate to exercise, I have no intention of ever becoming a fitness fanatic and I've pretty much come to terms with the fact that I will never grace the cover of a Victoria's Secret catalog.
I think resolutions can be a good thing… if you don't set yourself up for failure. As you're polishing off the last of the bubbly & appetizers on 12/31 don't tell the world that you're going to lose 20 pounds in the first month of the New Year. Be realistic. Why not set a reasonable objective of losing 10 pounds by June 1 instead?
On the other hand as any goal-setting guru will tell you, the goal must be measurable. If you state that you will try to be healthier in 2013 what exactly do you mean? A goal I am setting for myself this year is to drink the recommended amount of water each day. I will admit I am a terrible, "lazy" water drinker. According to one calculation I should consume 80 oz. of liquid a day from all sources including fruit juices, decaf coffee or tea, water, etc. Personally I'll be happy with myself if I consistently consume the "standard" 64 oz.
So, be realistic and measurable with your resolutions for 2013. Because really, do you want to be among these statistics: Studies show the average resolution lasts only a few days for more than half of us. By three months, nearly 19 out of 20 resolutions have dropped off the chart.
Here's to a happy, healthy and successful 2013 for all of us!

Alabama coach Nick Saban said Wednesday that safety HaHa Clinton-Dix has been suspended indefinitely for a violation of team rules. Saban refused to get into specifics, warning reporters not to ask what the suspension was for and saying he didn't know how long it would last.
"I'm going to be consistent," Saban told the media following Alabama's practice. "When guys get suspended, I never ever say what it's for."
Clinton-Dix is one of the most important defensive players on the nation's No. 1-ranked team. Though he has been excellent in pass coverage throughout his career at Alabama, he's also been a key run-stopper this season with 24 tackles. Clinton-Dix, a junior, is projected by many experts to be a first-round NFL draft pick in 2014 and is expected to turn pro after this season.
TOP CONFERENCE: Why Pac-12 has a case
WEEK 6: Full TV schedule
Sophomore Landon Collins, a highly regarded backup, will assume more responsibilities while Clinton-Dix on the sidelines.
Clinton-Dix's suspension comes at a relatively good time for Alabama, which hits a soft part of the schedule in October. The Crimson Tide will play Georgia State this weekend followed by a trip to Kentucky, then will return home to face Arkansas and Tennessee before a bye week. The next big test for Alabama comes Nov. 9 when LSU visits Tuscaloosa.
Alabama, the two-time defending national champion, is 4-0 this season.

Cadbury plc and Cadbury Schweppes plc are hereafter collectively referred to as "Cadbury", unless otherwise indicated. Kraft Foods Inc. acquired Cadbury on February 2, 2010.
On October 1, 2012, Kraft Foods, Inc. spun-off its North American grocery business to its shareholders and changed its name to Mondel?z International, Inc. ("Mondel?z").
We are a leading integrated brand owner, manufacturer and distributor of non-alcoholic beverages in the United States ("U.S."), Canada and Mexico with a diverse portfolio of flavored carbonated soft drinks ("CSDs") and non-carbonated beverages ("NCBs"), including ready-to-drink teas, juices, juice drinks and mixers. Our brand portfolio includes popular CSD brands such as Dr Pepper, Sunkist soda, 7UP, A&W, Canada Dry, Crush, Squirt, Peńafiel and Schweppes, and NCB brands such as Snapple, Mott's, Hawaiian Punch, Clamato, Rose's and Mr & Mrs T mixers. Our largest brand, Dr Pepper, is a leading flavored CSD in the U.S. according to The Nielsen Company. We have some of the most recognized beverage brands in North America, with significant consumer awareness levels and long histories that evoke strong emotional connections with consumers. We operate as an integrated brand owner, manufacturer and distributor through our three segments. We believe our integrated business model strengthens our route-to-market and provides opportunities for net sales and profit growth through the alignment of the economic interests of our brand ownership and our manufacturing and distribution businesses through both our Direct Store Delivery ("DSD") system and our Warehouse Direct ("WD") delivery system. Our integrated business model enables us to be more flexible and responsive to the changing needs of our large retail customers and allows us to more fully leverage our scale and reduce costs by creating greater geographic manufacturing and distribution coverage.
The beverage market is subject to some seasonal variations. Our beverage sales are generally higher during the warmer months and also can be influenced by the timing of holidays and religious festivals as well as weather fluctuations.
Beverage Concentrates
Our Beverage Concentrates segment is principally a brand ownership business. In this segment we manufacture and sell beverage concentrates in the U.S. and Canada. Most of the brands in this segment are CSD brands. Key brands include Dr Pepper, Canada Dry, Crush, Schweppes, 7UP, Sunkist soda, A&W, Sun Drop, RC Cola, Diet Rite, Squirt, Welch's, Country Time, Vernors and the concentrate form of Hawaiian Punch.
Almost all of our beverage concentrates are manufactured at our plant in St. Louis, Missouri.
The beverage concentrates are shipped to third party bottlers, as well as to our
own manufacturing systems, who combine them with carbonation, water, sweeteners
and other ingredients, package it in PET containers, glass bottles and aluminum
cans, and sell it as a finished beverage to retailers. Beverage concentrates are
also manufactured into syrup, which is shipped to fountain customers, such as
fast food restaurants, who mix the syrup with water and carbonation to create a
finished beverage at the point of sale to consumers. Dr Pepper represents most
of our fountain channel volume. Concentrate prices historically have been
reviewed and adjusted at least on an annual basis.
Our Beverage Concentrates brands are sold by bottlers, including our own Packaged Beverages segment, through all major retail channels including supermarkets, fountains, mass merchandisers, club stores, vending machines, convenience stores, gas stations, small groceries, drug chains and dollar stores.
Packaged Beverages
Our Packaged Beverages segment is principally a brand ownership, manufacturing and distribution business. In this segment, we primarily manufacture and distribute packaged beverages and other products, including our brands, third party owned brands and certain private label beverages, in the U.S. and Canada. Key NCB brands in this segment include Snapple, Hawaiian Punch, Mott's, Yoo-Hoo, Clamato, Deja Blue, AriZona, FIJI, Mistic, Nantucket Nectars, ReaLemon, Mr and Mrs T mixers, Rose's and Country Time. Key CSD brands in this segment include 7UP, Dr Pepper, A&W, Sunkist soda, Canada Dry, Squirt, RC Cola, Big Red, Sun Drop, Diet Rite, IBC and Vernors. Additionally, we distribute third party brands such as Big Red, AriZona tea, FIJI mineral water, Neuro beverages, Vita Coco coconut water and Hydrive energy drinks. We also derive a portion of our sales from bottling beverages and other products for private label owners or others for a fee. Although the majority of our Packaged Beverages' net sales relate to our brands, we also provide a route-to-market for third party brand owners seeking effective distribution for their new and emerging brands. These brands give us exposure in certain markets to fast growing segments of the beverage industry with minimal capital investment.
Our Packaged Beverages' products are manufactured in multiple facilities across the U.S. and are sold or distributed to retailers and their warehouses by our own distribution network or by third party distributors. The raw materials used to manufacture our products include aluminum cans and ends, glass bottles, PET bottles and caps, paper products, sweeteners, juices, water and other ingredients.
We sell our Packaged Beverages' products both through our DSD system, supported by a fleet of approximately 6,000 trucks and 12,000 employees, including sales representatives, merchandisers, drivers and warehouse workers, as well as through our WD system, both of which include the sales to all major retail channels, including supermarkets, fountain, mass merchandisers, club stores, vending machines, convenience stores, gas stations, small groceries, drug chains and dollar stores.
Latin America Beverages
Our Latin America Beverages segment is a brand ownership, manufacturing and distribution business. This segment participates mainly in the carbonated mineral water, flavored CSD, bottled water and vegetable juice categories, with particular strength in carbonated mineral water and grapefruit flavored CSDs. Key brands include Peńafiel, Squirt, Clamato and Aguafiel.
In Mexico, we manufacture and distribute our products through our bottling operations and third party bottlers and distributors. In the Caribbean, we distribute our products through third party bottlers and distributors. In Mexico, we also participate in a joint venture to manufacture Aguafiel brand water with Acqua Minerale San Benedetto. We provide expertise in the Mexican beverage market and Acqua Minerale San Benedetto provides expertise in water production and new packaging technologies.
We sell our finished beverages through all major Mexican retail channels, including the "mom and pop" stores, supermarkets, hypermarkets, and on premise channels.
In evaluating our performance, we consider different volume measures depending on whether we sell beverage concentrates or finished beverages.
Beverage Concentrates Sales Volume
In our Beverage Concentrates segment, we measure our sales volume in two ways:
(1) "concentrate case sales" and (2) "bottler case sales." The unit of measurement for both concentrate case sales and bottler case sales equals 288 fluid ounces of finished beverage, the equivalent of 24 twelve ounce servings.
Concentrate case sales represent units of measurement for concentrates sold by
us to our bottlers and distributors. A concentrate case is the amount of
concentrate needed to make one case of 288 fluid ounces of finished beverage. It
does not include any other component of the finished beverage other than
concentrate. Our net sales in our concentrate businesses are based on our sales
of concentrate cases.
Although net sales in our concentrate businesses are based on concentrate case sales, we believe that bottler case sales are also a significant measure of our performance because they measure sales of packaged beverages into retail channels.
Packaged Beverages Sales Volume
In our Packaged Beverages segment, we measure volume as case sales to customers. A case sale represents a unit of measurement equal to 288 fluid ounces of packaged beverage sold by us. Case sales include both our owned brands and certain brands licensed to and/or distributed by us.
Volume in Bottler Case Sales
In addition to sales volume, we measure volume in bottler case sales ("volume (BCS)") as sales of packaged beverages, in equivalent 288 fluid ounce cases, sold by us and our bottling partners to retailers and independent distributors. Our contract manufacturing sales are not included or reported as part of volume (BCS).
Bottler case sales, concentrate case sales and packaged beverage sales volume are not equal during any given period due to changes in bottler concentrate inventory levels, which can be affected by seasonality, bottler inventory and manufacturing practices, and the timing of price increases and new product introductions.

The Waratahs will be out to record back-to-back wins, while the Force are hoping to avoid back-to-back losses when the two teams clash
The Waratahs will be out to record back-to-back wins, while the Force are hoping to avoid back-to-back losses when the two teams clash in Sydney on Sunday.
The last time the Sydneysiders won two consecutive games was 11 months ago. But after beating the Blues after the final hooter last week, the home side will be favourites to add four or five more points to their name.
They will, however, be wary of the unpredictable Force outfit. The men from the west lost at home to the Cheetahs last week, but upset the Reds in Brisbane the weekend before.
With two wins and three losses, the 'Tahs are camped in 11th place and can't afford to slip on a potential banana skin if they wish to be Australian conference contenders.
Under a new coach, the Waratahs have failed to live up to expectations, but their last-gasp win over the Blues could be the spark they needed.
Of course, the Force won't be lacking in motivation for this one either as former Waratahs coach Michael Foley prepares to take on his former team.
He'll have to do so without star hooker Nathan Charles though, who's been ruled out for the season. But former Waratahs back Sam Norton-knight is set to make his debut, while we should be in for a big tussle up front with big Hugh McMeniman up against Wallabies locks Kane Douglas and Sitaleki Timani.
The Force also know how to win in Sydney, having pipped the Waratahs in their own back yard last year (21-20).
Prediction: You never know with these Aussie derbies, but the Waratahs look the better bet. 'Tahs by seven!
The teams:
Waratahs: 15 Israel Folau, 14 Peter Betham, 13 Adam Ashley-Cooper, 12 Rob Horne, 11 Drew Mitchell, 10 Bernard Foley, 9 Brendan McKibbin, 8 Pat McCutcheon, 7 Michael Hooper, 6 Dave Dennis, 5 Kane Douglas, 4 Sitaleki Timani, 3 Paddy Ryan, 2 John Ulugia, 1 Benn Robinson.
Replacements: 16 Tatafu Polota-Nau, 17 Sekope Kepu, 18 Mitchell Chapman, 19 Jed Holloway, 20 Matt Lucas, 21 Ben Volavola, 22 Tom Kingston.
Western Force: tbc
Date: Sunday, March 31
Venue: Allianz Stadium, Sydney
Kick-off: 16:05 (05.05 GMT)
Referee: Steve Walsh (Australia)
Assistant referees: Andrew Lees (Australia), James Leckie (Australia)

A judge today put the brakes on a proposed settlement between class action plaintiffs and Highmark, saying that she needed more detail about the benefits to insurance ratepayers.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs told U.S. District Judge Joy Flowers Conti that even after settling with Highmark, they would pursue damages against UPMC that could reach nine figures.
"One hundred million -- is that what you're thinking?" Judge Conti asked plaintiffs' attorney Scott Hare.
"The damage calculus would easily be in the hundreds of millions of dollars," he replied.
Royal Mile Co., a Whitehall-based real estate firm, sued Highmark and UPMC in 2010, saying they conspired to boost medical care and health insurance costs. Royal Miles was later joined by Coles Wexford Hotel Inc. and individual ratepayer Pamela Lang.
The plaintiffs seek to settle with Highmark only. The insurer would give the plaintiffs $4.5 million and a trove of documents to use against UPMC.
Highmark would pledge not to give some medical providers higher reimbursements than others through 2014, thus enhancing competition, Mr. Hare said at the hearing on the motion for preliminary approval of the settlement.
Highmark also would continue to offer its low-cost Community Blue product. Mr. Hare said those pro-competitive pledges are worth tens of millions of dollars to ratepayers.
"I just have to have a little more than that," said Judge Conti. "I don't know that there's any real value here" for ratepayers.
Judge Conti said the plaintiffs and Highmark need to come up with a way to make sure that nearly all current and recent Highmark subscribers know how they can object to the settlement if they don't agree.
"Somehow you need to highlight that the lawyers are being paid," and that there's no guarantee that ratepayers will get money, Judge Conti told Mr. Hare.
The proposed $4.5 million payment by Highmark would cover expert costs and attorney fees, Mr. Hare said.
Attorney Paul M. Pohl, representing UPMC, said the hospital system doesn't agree with the characterizations of potential damages and is seeking to have the case dismissed.
Judge Conti gave the plaintiffs until Jan. 11 to provide her with information she needs to decide whether to give the settlement preliminary approval.
She is handling two other lawsuits involving the region's feuding medical institutions. In one, West Penn Allegheny Health System is suing UPMC, claiming it unlawfully sought to stifle competition. In the other, UPMC sued Highmark, claiming the insurer used unlawful means to try to siphon business from the region's dominant hospital system.

So we'll have a new Charters & Caldicott to add to the ranks...
Not sure about this updating of the Three Musketeers though: "confronting impossible odds and fighting any battle if the cause is just" sounds more like the A-team to me
Apparently a new version of this classic Hitchcock film is due on the BBC this Christmas
So we'll have a new Charters & Caldicott to add to the ranks...
Not sure about this updating of the Three Musketeers though: "confronting impossible odds and fighting any battle if the cause is just" sounds more like the A-team to me
The Lady Vanishes sounds good but this new idea for The Musketeers "A fresh and contemporary take on the classic characters created by Alexandre Dumas in his much-loved novel. The Musketeers are a crack-team of highly trained soldiers, far more than the King's personal bodyguards" sounds positively dreadful.
Love the sounds of The Lady Vanishes, sounds like perfect Boxing Day (Toffees from the Roses tin and left over port) tv :-)
I look forward to it as, being a UK remake, I know it will remain faithful to the story. That said, it has got to be something really special to exceed the style and feel of the original where the action is based on the tension and reality of the time. The Test Match I mean, losing against the Australians!!

Sod that, I'm looking forward the the Zombie series :)
Has this been rescheduled? Can't find it in my Christmas Radio Times...
Doesn't look good
It wouldn't have happened in Alfred Hitchcock's day. So cash-strapped
was the production of the new BBC1 drama remake of The Lady Vanishes,
starring Keeley Hawes and Tuppence Middleton, that the crew were forced
to forgo a gimbal that allows the set to rotate and create the
appearance of a moving train.
The actors had to throw themselves around the fake carriage instead.
wanted a gimbal but that cost £64k that we didn't have, so the actors
had to sway around," said director Diarmuid Lawrence after a screening
at the BFI last night. "Even in the tea break the cast would be swaying
in front of your eyes."
Lawrence added that he does not like the
Hitchcock original. "I will probably have things thrown at me but I am
not a great fan of the film. I don't think it shows the hand of the
master as you see in his other films."
It's more the fact the director "DOES NOT LIKE the Hitchcock original" Philistine!! I was sort of looking forward to this until I read that .....
Why is he making it if he didn't like the Hitchcock movie?
That is the movie that got H to Hollywood.
We watched this in its preview at the BFI Southbank. Despite the Captain's reservations, the train scenes were actually rather good and convincing. But there was something missing (atmosphere?) and it seems like a redundant remake IMO. Tuppence Middleton's performance is also a little bit annoying.
It's being shown in April on TV, apparently.

By Brendan Conway
Exchange-traded funds, it turns out, have become a favored hedging tool for hedge funds — so much that their use as short-selling tools in some respects rivals the use of single stocks as shorts.
Buy a favored company's stock, short an easy-to-trade ETF for the rest of the market, and a risk-taker has built a nice long-short trade in favor of a single stock's outperformance. That, at any rate, is one common use of ETFs at hedge funds, and one reason those funds' ETF short positions jumped by nearly $7 billion last quarter compared to the end of March.
The $7 billion figure is from a study by Goldman Sachs' portfolio strategists of what hedge funds are buying and selling, including what they are doing with ETFs. Hedge funds ended the second quarter with an estimated $102 billion in short ETF positions, according to the study. Those ETF shorts are nearly a quarter the value of hedge funds' single-stock short positions — where they've got $435 billion in exposure.
In the second quarter, hedge funds added $1.1 billion in shorts against Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (VWO) while taking off some $634 million in the same from iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM), meaning they added nearly half a billion dollars in new hedges and shorts versus broad developing-world benchmarks.
It's hard to impute sentiment to those changes since they could be offset with single stock positions — though you can guess the shorts might diminish if investors expect a surge in the market.

After months of cold weather, snow and wind, the summer season comes as a relief. So why not take advantage of the warm, sunny weather, get off the couch and away from the computer and hit the outdoors for family, fun activities.
Living in Douglas County, there are countless, trails, parks and outdoor events to spark anyone's interest. Families can choose from a quiet picnic in a park, or a bike ride down Cherry Creek Trail. Whatever the interest, residents can agree, Douglas County is the place for families to be active and truly enjoy what their community has to offer.
Parker Family Fun Fest, May 21
A great way to kick off the summer is a free event at O'Brien Park. Parker Family Fun Fest is an event promoting the Town of Parker's "Kids Living Active!" program. The program focuses on healthy lifestyles and wellness education in a fun and interactive way.
From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m . on May 21, Family Fun Fest will get the whole family involved in a one-mile family fun walk, followed by a variety of activities including an obstacle course, jump rope competition, martial arts demonstrations and a dance off. Hillary Roemersberger, fitness and wellness coordinator with the Parker Recreation Center, said as the third year of the event, the Family Fun Fest gets better and better. She said it's a great opportunity for families to spend time together being active and enjoying the beginning of summer.
"It's a fun, simple, inexpensive way to have a great time with your family," she said. "There are so many activities kids can choose from and kids can try a new activity they have never done before. It's really great."
Roemersberger said there will also be vendors at the fest with information on health and wellness, so parents can get more information and learn different options when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle as a family.
For more information on the Parker Family Fun Fest, visit www.parkeronline.org or call 303-805-3278.
Kids' TRY-athlon, Aug. 6
For kids who want to try something new and even push themselves athletically, the Parker Kids' TRY-athlon is the perfect opportunity. The event is geared toward effort, not competition, and allows kids of all athletic abilities the chance to swim, ride and run.
On Aug. 6 at the Parker Recreation Center kids will be divided into age groups and participate in a triathlon. Children ages six to eight will have a 25 meter swim, one mile bike ride and half-mile run. Children ages nine and ten will have a 50 meter swim, one-and-a-half mile bike ride and half-mile run. And children 11-12 will have a 100 meter swim, one-and-a-half mile bike ride and a one-mile run. Each race begins in the morning, with the oldest kids racing first.
Hillary Roemersberger, fitness and wellness coordinator for the Parker Recreation Center, said this is one of her favorite events. She said it is very popular with more than 100 participants last year.
"This event is great because it's geared towards girls and boys of all ability levels. We focus on trying, not competition," she said. "The kids try so hard and they don't give up. It's great to see them come out and try something new."
Roemersberger said the triathlon is part of the Town of Parker's "Kids Living Active!" program. The program focuses on healthy lifestyles and wellness education in a fun and interactive way. All the kids get a certificates for racing and Roemersberger said the kids always seem really happy when they cross the finish line.
All participants are required to wear helmets, have a bicycle and have some level of swim coordination. Swimmers can use kick boards if needed. The cost to compete is $15 and $20 on race day per child and the cost does include a T-shirt.
For more information visit www.parkeronline.org or call 303-805-3278.
Picnic packs
Many times families want to play volleyball or softball, but don't have the right equipment. Well that problem is now solved with picnic packs provided by the Highlands Ranch Metro District. For a small fee, families can rent a pack for the weekend and enjoy a new activity at the park or in their backyards.
There are six picnic packs to choose from: volleyball, softball, lawn games, happy kids, lawn tennis and field day fun. The packs come with all the equipment needed and are appealing to not only young children, but also to teens and adults.
Pam Moisey, reservations specialist for the Highlands Ranch Metro District, said the picnic packs are very popular during the summer months, especially for graduation parties, birthday parties and even company picnics. She said most people reserve their pack, then pick it up between 1 and 5 p.m. on a Friday and don't have to return it until the following Monday. She said it is an affordable way to spend the weekend doing something fun, active and outdoors.
"It's a really easy, convenient way to have some fun and add some entertainment to a party," she said. "Instead of going out and buying a volleyball net that will be used only a couple times of year, families can rent a one and save a lot of money."
The picnic packs range from $25 to $42 for residents and $29 to $49 for non-residents. A damage deposit it required, but will not be processed unless the pack has been damaged.
For more information on picnic packs, visit www.highlandsranch.org or call 303-791-2710.
Environmental education
Every child is different. Some enjoy playing sports, or reading, and some enjoy learning about nature and the outdoors. For the kids hoping to get a little dirty outside, an environmental education program through the Highlands Metro District will provide the dirt, bugs and knowledge the child craves.
The environmental education programs are for children ages three to 11. Depending on the age and interest, kids can choose to learn about raptors, jobs performed by rangers or basic camping skills. Some camps are just one day and some are a week long.
Also through this program, families can participate in a family scavenger hunt on May 21, Fly'n B Park in Highlands Ranch.
Foe more information on environmental education program visit www.highlandsranch.org or call 303-791-2710.
