August finds us planning, dreaming about or actually taking that last summer vacation. It's a huge travel month with beach weeks both exotic and local, destination weddings, mission trips and hometown visits with family and friends. I know people imminently traveling in all of the previous categories bound for destinations like Hawaii, St. John, Vermont, Boston, even Kenya (Molly Buckley)! For those of you who need a refresher in packing please refer back to my two-part column titled Traveling In Style with tips for smart and healthy packing.
Recently a Chapelboro Insider wrote with a specific question regarding her pending trip to paradise that I wanted to address in a column.
Trisha Peterson in Texas writes, "I am traveling to Hawaii in August and don't want to over-pack. Any ideas on how to coordinate my wardrobe so that I don't have to take too much?"
Dear Trisha….Thanks for being a Chapelboro Insider and for your question. First, a big congrats on your upcoming exotic escape for your husband's 50th birthday. (They've aptly deemed this trip Hawaii 5-0!) Second, could you find a way to pack me in one of your suitcases? (I'm not kidding.)
Seriously, packing has become a major concern and burden for the air traveling populace. You want to have everything you need upon arrival at your destination, but you have to limit your luggage or pay the price. Even checking one bag on most airlines is an expensive proposition at $25. Add a second bag and you're hit with another $30. Ouch! And what if your suitcase is over the weight limit of 50 pounds? Slap on yet another fee to the tune of $100. Check with your airline for specific charges on checked luggage and in-flight amenities before you head to the airport so that you're not blind-sided when you arrive curb-side.
Back to Trisha's question. Fortunately traveling to a warm weather destination means lightweight fabrics and less bulk. Packing light should be a breeze. Making a check-list is a great place to start (sunglasses, sunscreen, swimming suit, etc.) and helps prevent forgetting the essentials. Here are some additional ideas to get you started.
· Coordinate a color theme that will allow you to mix and match tops and bottoms creating multiple outfits. That will also help you narrow down your choices for accessories like shoes and jewelry.
· Limit your shoes. (If I could only take my own advice!) Shoes are bulky and take up precious suitcase space. Three pairs would be ideal (an absolute coup if I could ever pull that off): favorite flip flops, a neutral wedge or sandal that matches most of your dressier outfits and a pair of sporty shoes for outdoor adventures.
· Most likely you will be living in your bathing suit and cover-up. Instead of taking five suits pick one or two of your favorites in similar styles, so you don't have crazy opposing tan lines. Make sure you have one with more coverage for water sport activities like surfing or snorkeling. Many cover-ups can double as active wear for day or evening wear at night. A sarong around the waist by the pool can be dressed up with a halter top, jewelry and wedges at night for dinner.
· Even though paradise is hot be prepared for an evening breeze with a pashmina wrap or cardigan. To prevent cabin freeze and extra in-flight costs, pack either one in your carry-on to double as a blanket/pillow.
· A crushable, packable hat not only protects you from the elements but hides bad hair days.
· Lay everything you've selected out on your bed or floor and assess. Create outfits and make sure you don't have multiples of too many items. Do your very best to edit before you start placing things in the suitcase. Take a trial size of Woolite so you can do hand washing if needed.
· Trisha, since you're a wife and mom it usually falls on your plate to keep both the hub and baby sated. (No surprise there, right?!) Pack snacks! Baggies of mixed nuts, crackers, goldfish plus a few cheese sticks and granola bars travel pretty well and should help curb the munchies.
· Remember, you can always buy or borrow any essentials you may have forgotten once you arrive. That's when the local discount store or hotel front desk staff comes in handy. If you're in a more remote location, then hopefully you can borrow needed items from your traveling companions. That's what friends and family are for!
I hope this quick packing review gets you and other readers motivated and keeps your luggage light. Look for more Q&A in future Fashion Plate columns.
Send a postcard from paradise and Happy 50th to Gordon! Aloha….
These are my packing tips for paradise. Share yours below!

I've been vomitting my dinner for 2 days and all i get to eat is bread and some salt/mineral replenishment drink all day and its driving me crazy!! I'm a glutton by nature . What do u think i should/shouldn't eat?? Bf thinks i can't eat anything apart from bread. There you go, my tummy just rumbled out loud again!! I'm so sick of being sick. I'm also having a headache but can't seem to sleep or rest. Therefore, the closest thing to it, is the purse forum that is why i'm on it now and to catch up on my reads. Lols.

Our front porch is a popular place for our neighbors around the holidays. They visit it when we're not home, so there's always a surprise waiting when we return. We're diligent about checking the porch because anything left out overnight will freeze and ruin.
Anything other than elk meat, that is. It's cold enough this winter to store meat on the front porch. We don't, but we could.
And it looked like we would be one night. There was a large, blue reusable shopping bag on the top step. It bulged with taped blocks of white butcher paper. Each block was labeled "Elk 2016" in black marker.
Meat on our stoop. That was a first.
Family friend and successful hunter Travis Zmak took pity on our empty-freezer status and shared his harvest with us. A year ago I never thought wild game would be the best holiday present ever left on our porch. But it is.
We brought the meat in, loaded the frozen chest in the basement, then headed upstairs for a family movie before bed. My husband chose a holiday classic none of us had seen: White Christmas from 1954. The opening scene is a World War II battle zone on Christmas Eve. Bing Crosby, uniformed as an Army captain, sings "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" while cutaways of the crowd show other soldiers lamenting. One somberly rests his chin on the business end of his gun.
"He's not supposed to do that," my older son says.
Before I can explain the archaic actions of the '50s, my younger son adds, "He wouldn't pass hunter ed."
I never thought an old flick would inspire such talk. But it does.
Both of my boys passed hunter education in January 2016. Me, too; I'm the proud mama who aced the test in a room full of 10-year-old boys also taking the test. We earned orange beanies and the right to competently bear arms and buy hunting licenses.
My youngest shot his first rabbit two weeks later; "bow and arrow" was on his Christmas list. My oldest is interested in bagging birds; "BB gun" was on his list.
My husband received his Christmas present early—a muzzleloader. He's our household's new mountain man. He drew one of Idaho's coveted elk hunts, but that's where his beginner's luck ran out. Wildlife outsmarted him and his new gun. That's why our freezer is full of gifted elk instead of our own.
"I'm going to need another gun," he said at the end of his 30-day draw of empty-handed hunting. "Muzzleloader is not the way to go if I'm going to provide for this family."
As for me, here's what I know of my fishing family's first year of hunting:
I love the pursuit and what it requires physically and mentally. I love bushwhacking, scouting, and glassing. I'm patient when I have to be and quiet as needed. I'm all in for those elements, but when it comes time to shoot, I still prefer to shoot with a camera.
As an outdoor journalist, I've been on plenty of hunts and covered plenty of hunting stories. I understand the value of hunting and the reason for it, but I'm always the one shooting with a camera, so I'm not sure I should be the one to pull the trigger. Especially when it comes to big game.
I have yet to figure out why I'm shying away from fur when chasing feathers and fins brings me such delight. Particularly fins. Fish are my thing. Putting flies in their mouth is even more of my thing. I've bought a fishing license every year since I first picked up a rod two decades ago. I never thought I'd carry a fish-hunt combo license. But now I do.

Man, 68, shot by cop aiming at bandits
A San Fernando City Police officer in pursuit of two bandits who were escaping with over $.2 million in jewelry from a robbery, shot a Los Bajos pensioner twice by mistake yesterday.
Samuel George, 68, is currently warded in stable condition at the San Fernando General Hospital (SFGH) after being shot in the shoulder and abdomen.
According to reports, the two men entered Mohan's Jewellers on Mucurapo Street, San Fernando, around 11 am and announced a hold-up.
One of the men was armed with a gun which he pointed at the store's two proprietors. His accomplice then pushed aside a glass display case, went under the burglar proofing and began snatching items off the top display shelf of the showcases. He was able to grab gold and diamond rings, watches and chains before they both ran out the store and onto the busy street.
Neither man was wearing a mask and they were described as being of African descent, both around five feet ten inches tall and dark skinned.
The T&T Guardian was told that a City Police officer on patrol saw the commotion and fired two shots at the men, but instead hit George who was walking on the side-walk twice.
Up until late yesterday, police were reviewing closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage to try to identify the men. —Sharlene Rampersad

Santos Enters Sales Agreement for Reserves of Oyong Field
Santos Limited announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Santos (Sampang) Pty Ltd had entered into a Heads of Agreement with PT Indonesia Power for the sale of the entire gas reserves of the offshore Oyong field in East Java, Indonesia. The Oyong field is estimated to contain in excess of 90 billion cubic feet of recoverable gas.
Santos said the HoA (which follows the signing of an interim MoU on December 31, 2002) provides for the gas to be sold under a Gas Sales Agreement (GSA) between the Sampang PSC participants and PT Indonesia Power for the life of the field or up to 10 years.
The HoA has been signed to supply the gas to PT Indonesia Power's 766 MW open and combined cycle gas turbine facility at Grati, 60 km south west of the Oyong field on the coast of East Java.
PT Indonesia Power - one of the wholly owned generating subsidiaries of the State owned national electricity company, PLN - operates some 9,000 MW of generating capacity out of the 18,600 MW supplying the Java–Bali grid plus additional capacity in Sumatra and Kalimantan.
The HoA is the second Indonesian gas sales announcement by Santos in the past five months. In August 2002 a Memorandum of Understanding was signed with Pertamina to supply gas to Petronas in Malaysia for 20 years from the Bentu and Korinci-Baru PSC's in Central Sumatra.
First gas supplies from the Oyong field are expected to commence under the GSA in late 2004, with a minimum of 60 million cubic feet per day of gas being delivered to Grati. Payment will be in US dollars.
"It adds to the solid production base we are building in South East Asia and is in line with our overall growth strategy which includes international diversification of our gas business," he said.
Mr. Ellice-Flint said the HoA was reached in record time, less than eighteen months since the Oyong discovery. This was due to the strong support from the Indonesian Government regulator BPMIGAS, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and the commitment of Santos, its co-venturers and PT Indonesia Power.
"Our relationship with PT Indonesia Power is an important one for Santos given our developing gas reserves base and rapid gas commercialization strategy in the region," he said.
The Joint Venture is working to complete development approval as soon as possible. Front End Engineering Design for the Oyong development is expected to be concluded by the end of the first quarter 2003.
The Oyong field, which contains oil and gas reserves, was discovered by the Santos led joint venture in August 2001.
The Oyong field is estimated to contain in excess of 90 billion cubic feet of recoverable gas and conservatively 5 million barrels of recoverable oil. Additional oil reserves may be produced depending on field performance.
The company said that in addition to the gas project, Oyong oil would be produced through separate and dedicated wells and facilities at a rate yet to be determined.

I looked back at my last post on Imunovir, where I described my experiences with it and how much it has helped me - I was surprised to see that I wrote that over two years ago! So, I am overdue for an update anyway.
The quick version is that I am still doing well on Imunovir - in all the ways and for all the reasons I explained in that earlier post. There is no question that while on Imunovir I have more good days, fewer bad days, fewer virally-induced crashes (caused by exposure to viruses, especially in winter), reduced allergy symptoms, and fewer immune-related symptoms (like sore throat and flu-like aches).
I thought it wasn't working as well for me anymore at one point last year, and then I remembered the advice about constantly varying the dose. I was pretty much sticking with 4 pills a day 5 days a week, weekends off, because I was afraid to go without it. I decided to try a dosing schedule closer to what Dr. Cheney recommends (though specific to my own needs). So, for the past year or so, I have been taking 2 pills a day for a week, then 4 pills a day for a week, with weekends off, alternating weeks with 2 and 4 pills a day. In addition, every 2-3 months, I take two weeks off completely. Like magic, this worked! He is absolutely right - when you vary the dose and take breaks occasionally, it works better. I had been afraid to take even a week off since it helps me feel so much better, but I have found that I still feel good for those two weeks off...and great when I start back on it!
So, that is all well and good, except that Imunovir is now (temporarily?) unavailable. There is only one manufacturer in the world - Newport Pharmaceuticals in Ireland - and they say Imunovir is now on "long-term backorder," with no date for when it will be available again. The good news is that they haven't officially discontinued it (yet?), but it is impossible to get for now.
When I heard this news, my son and I both took our "break" to make our remaining supply last longer. We did our usual two weeks off. Problem is that this is high allergy season, and we both noticed increased allergy symptoms without the Imunovir to even out our over-active immune systems. This week would have been our third week off...but I felt so awful on Monday and Tuesday that I gave in and began taking it again yesterday! Within a few hours, my aches faded, my mind felt clear again, and my energy returned. I felt like myself again! What a relief. However, I only have enough Imunovir left for about another two weeks...then I can try another two week break, but after that, I am out of luck.
So, I am looking for alternatives. A local friend with ME/CFS told me that she used the generic form, inosine, and that it was effective for her. From what I've read, inosine isn't the exact same molecule (Imunovir is inosine pranobex), but it is similar, and - surprise! - it is sold here in the U.S. as a supplement. It's also about a fifth of the cost of Imunovir, so I ordered some from Amazon and will try it starting next week.
I'll let you know how it goes, but I wondered if any of you have experience with inosine and if so, how it worked for you. And if anyone has been able to compare inosine and Imunovir and tried both, I would love to hear about it.
Wish me luck!
P.S. In my research this week, I also learned a couple of interesting things: that inosine is classified as both an immune modulator and an antiviral, and that inosine is being used in some very promising studies with Parkinson's patients. Imunovir has also been used in NIH studies on cancer patients, to mitigate the immune effects of chemotherapy.
UPDATE as of 3/30/17: My son and I did switch to generic inosine when I first wrote this post in 2014, available as a supplement in the U.S., and found absolutely no difference from the Imunovir. So, we have remained on inosine since it works the same and is MUCH cheaper this way (and with no shipping fees either). We have continued using the dosing schedule I describe in this post, which works very well for us. Note that you may have to start out VERY low with the dosing until you get used to it. We started with just 1 pill a day for 5 days (always take weekends off). You MUST keep changing the dose around to keep it effective - this is true for all immune modulators.
I am including links below to the brands of inosine we have tried - all seem to work the same. My favorite is the Source Naturals brand, but it is not always available. It just came came after being out of stock for a while (yay!), and I like it best because it is a high-quality brand and because the pills are smaller and easier to fit into our very full medicine boxes! However, in its absence, the other brands have worked the same - no discernible difference. Just make sure you get 500 mg inosine, with nothing else added. The first brand shown here (after the Source Naturals) is a 60 capsule bottle - good for trying it out - and the last link is to a larger bottle that is more economical once you decide to stay on it.

Delusion Causes Bristol Palin To Defend Her Mom's VP Run
Matt | On 01, May 2012
Bristol Palin is here to let you know that her mom's run for vice president wasn't the shit-show you may think.
The oldest daughter of Sarah Palin took to her blog to set the record straight from what she says are the lies of the "chattering class."
In short, Bristol believes that we as Americans have it all wrong. Sarah Palin joining forces with Sen. John McCain was actually a boon to his campaign, according to Bristol. She blames the economy and McCain's brief suspension of the campaign when the financial crisis hit as some of the reasons he didn't win.
Bristol went a step further to not only defend her mother, but cite reasons showing her value to McCain's ticket:
".. [T]he pundits say Senator McCain made a huge mistake. But where's the evidence to back up this conventional wisdom? I'm not a pundit, but I remember the race. I was there. I remember the frenzied crowds after my mom joined the ticket. I remember the huge fundraising surge. I remember her convention speech. I even remember how McCain/Palin took a polling lead over Obama/Biden," Bristol wrote. [SOURCE]
Really Bristol?
It's nice and all for her to defend her mom. Who wouldn't? But, she can't be seriously firing up her computer to act like Sarah was the second coming of Political Baby Jesus on the campaign trail.
I'd like to remind Bristol that her mom got tripped up on a question from Katie Couric that year about which newspapers she read daily. Umm, a third-grader could have answered that.
The truth is the debacle of the McCain-Palin ticket wasn't all Sarah's fault. In fact, a lot of blame goes to the McCain team for picking and not vetting her. They could have done worlds better, though, had they chosen a more solid VP candidate with experience and media know-how. Sarah Palin was so "rogue," that she prevented herself from getting the job. Sad…
What do you believe was Sarah Palin's greatest strength during the 2008 presidential campaign?
Thanks to The Huffington Post for the heads-up on the Bristol Palin blog post.

List the steps of retrovirus like HIV that causes AIDS.
- print Print
- list Cite
The HIV virus has reached pandemic disease proportions, since it's discovery in the 80's. The major ways this disease is transmitted is by sexual contact with an infected person, from a blood transfusion from an infected individual, and from mother to child while being born. The HIV virus is classified as a retrovirus, meaning it affects aspects of a person's immune system, which normally eliminates invading pathogens such as the cold and influenza viruses. The steps of progression, in general, are:
1. Entry- HIV typically enters the body using one of the entry methods described above. Spermatozoa tend to harbor the HIV virus in an infected individual, so sexual contact is one of the leading contributors to the spread of the virus. Once inside the human body, it attaches to site-specific macrophages, where it binds to the surface of the cell.
2. Incorporation of genetic material- Once bound to the surface of the macrophage it is invading, the virus inserts it's RNA and enzymes, including transciptase, integrase, ribonuclease, and protease, into the cell's nucleus, where it integrates with the cell's DNA.
3. Dormancy- Once the invasion and integration of the macrophage's DNA is complete, the HIV virus may go through a dormant time range. This is called the latent stage of HIV infection.
4. Assembly- The final stage is to assemble the newly manufactured HIV-integrated DNA and release it into the body's environment, where it will repeat the process by invading and infecting other cells.
It should be noted the HIV virus tends to attack T-cells and other lymphocytic cells that are most numerous when there is an attack of another virus or pathogenic bacteria. People who die because of AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) don't die as a direct result of the HIV virus, they die because of their body's inability to combat other pathogens that are normally defeated by their body's immune system.

Have we told you lately how much AustinLiveMusic.Org loves Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings? Probably not since we saw them at SXSW back in March, so it's worth reiterating. We LOVE them! And not just SJDK, but everything coming out of Daptone Records. In case you missed it the first time around, here's what we had to say about SJDK when we saw them during SXSW:
"Each [Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings] performance is a unique experience to behold. Sharon Jones is a spectacular vocalist and performer, her dance moves evoke the spirit of James Brown, and the Dap Kings bring the funky soulshine like few others. Led by Bosco Mann, this group is unbelievably tight, they can – and often do – turn on a dime while leaving plenty of space for Jones to do her thing. They dance the fine line between sophisticated complexity and simple elegance, and they do it with loads of style.
Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings are the most well known group off the Daptone Records label which is co-owned by Dap King bandleader Bosco Mann and tenor saxophonist Neal Sugarman. Every single album released on Daptone is well worth your time – and if you are a vinyl enthusiast and funky soul lover as much as I am, I highly recommend getting every Daptone LP and 45 you can get your hands on!! Seriously! I am particularly fond of the releases by Sugarman Three, Poets of Rhythm, and Naomi Shelton. I also have to give a shout out to Dap Kings guitarist Binky Griptite who produces the Ghetto Funk Power Hour radio show which is included in some of the Sharon Jones deluxe cd packages. He is smart, hilarious, and brings the deep funk back with impeccable class and style."
We love what Gabriel Roth (aka Bosco Mann) has to say about soul in the liner notes of Naturally, "Where have we gone wrong when something so simple and inherent in all of us has become so illusive and difficult to communicate? Somewhere between banging on logs and the invention of M.I.D.I. technology we have made a terrible wrong turn. We must have ridden right past our stop. We should have stepped down off the train at that moment when rhythm and harmony and technology all culminated to a single Otis Redding whine. That moment of the truest, most genuine expression of what it means to be human." Thank you, Bosco, for communicating that soul so clearly in your music.
It's testament to SJDK's excellence that we ran into some of Austin's own finest musicians at the show. Speaking of, we caught up with the phenomenal JJ Johnson (John Mayer, Doyle Bramhall II) and found out that in addition to touring with Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi, he's recording a new album with them. We are looking forward to hearing more from JJ and all his various projects, he's not just an awesome drummer, he's a f'in force of nature! When he's not on the road, you can catch him playing around town with some of our favorites like Gary Clark Jr. and Ephraim Owens.
Opening for SJDK was an afro-beat funky soul ensemble out of LA called Orgone. Keep an eye out for them, they're worth checking out next time they come through your town, with or without Sharon Jones.

Another large chunk of time went by and in that time I neglected this blog. It's not that I don't want blog, I just don't want to sit in front of the computer after writing and communicating on one all day at work! I will find time to update here and there a bit more often, perhaps once a week depending on how things go. Now, on to the topic of this post — The Susan G. Komen 3-Day finally happened!
It's been a full week since I took my last (limping) steps and triumphantly finished the trek to raise awareness and funds to fight breast cancer. I walked with a fabulous group of three other women, two who I met in person for the first time that weekend!
The San Diego community really supports this walk and it surprised me to see small and large businesses out cheering on walkers, passing out water, coffee, and even seeing local cheerleaders from middle school and high school encouraging us on this journey. Even homeowners came out on their front lawn and passed out baked goods, water or even held up signs with words of encouragement.
The most touching part was seeing actual breast cancer survivors along the way holding up signs that read "Because of You I'm Here Today." That really hit me hard in the feels. Another part that made an impact on me was during the opening ceremony hearing stories from survivors and those with family members who did not survive the battle with breast cancer. I know that all the fundraising efforts, training walks, and ultimately the final 3-Day 60 mile walk are all making a difference in this fight against breast cancer (and all cancers for that matter).
The thing I hope to achieve from this whole experience is that at least ONE person, man or woman, goes to the doctor — a free clinic, low income clinic, whatever — and gets screened for cancer regularly. If there is anything I learned from this is that PREVENTION is key. Catch it early and your chances of squashing it go up significantly. Know your body, get checked up routinely.
I also learned that my body and mind are so capable of pushing beyond what I think I can do. I really want to climb Mount Whitney now and I'm going to look into the details on how to do that. I did not walk the full 60 miles, however, I did walk about a good solid 50 miles in total over the 3 days. My arch ached and sharp pains shot through my right foot on the last day. I also experienced other aches, pains and soreness throughout the second and third day. I listened to my body and pushed as much as I could without causing serious injury.
I will not participate again as a walker but definitely have my sights set on forming a group to be an official "Walker Stalker." I want to be one of those people on the sidelines cheering on this incredible group of walkers. It helped the walk become not a chore but a fun 60-mile positivity party. I loved petting dogs along the way and even indulging in a few Jello shots too!

text: My daughter said she really likes this kind of snacks, but my hubby was not really happy when he saw Rachel eating them. It's salty, not a good snack for kids he said and Rachel wasn't happy hearing it and as you can see here as she has a sad, mad face. Oh well, I told her she can have one more and that's it before daddy gets really mad. I bought this one at Walmart the last time we went grocery shopping and I really like it, even though it's a bit salty it hard not to like.

Discussion in 'FedEx Discussions' started by stopsperhour, Jan 24, 2015.
Another Fedex Ground Truck. Fedex denies responsibility.
That was ground. Don't think it won't come out your wallet as well bro.
And poof, there goes ground drivers health, vacation, and....oh wait....they don't have those....my bad.
deny deny deny
Oh, but all I ever hear is that the company just takes everything from Express to prop up Ground. It's total BS of course, but that's just one more reason to mock Express.
But...you...do...kinda. For now...
I don't think Fred cares who he takes from, as long as he doesn't have to pay for it.
What a terrible accident, what a typical fedex reaction, the blame game..... FedEx ground and whatever sub contractor loophole fedex uses to not pay ground drivers benefits and makes it difficult for them to unioniZe is ubsurd, I see a lot of ground drivers, mostly all look freshly paroled
Life is one ubsurdity after another.
While Ground may be Fred's Golden Goose, it appears that Ground's horrible safety record might take a big bite out of his cash. Too bad the award wasn't doubled.
Perhaps you speak Walmart better than you thought.
Haha! U got me there!
At the end of the vid. the news lady says if X appeals the finding, they are only post-poning the inevitable. Let's hope X appeals and they double the award amount.
I just watched the news video, and took great interest in the jury comment that "FedEx needed to improve driver training". I would be willing to bet that the Ground driver had little experience and the bare minimum of training required to get a CDL. And if you consider the Ground business model as a whole, who drives for Ground? Low experience non-professionals willing to work for the low pay and zero benefits offered by Ground contractors. In addition, who contracts with FedEx? In general, it's the low-ball operator who cuts corners on safety because that's how they do it back in Backwardistan where they came from. Poor maintenance and lousy training? Who cares? As long as Boris and Fred make money, it's all good. And when one of Boris' quality drivers does something like this, FedEx immediately throws everyone under the bus so they don't have to pay.
Does FedEx know that Ground is an unsafe operation? You bet they do, but nobody cares because it's all about the money.
MR fedex I agree hands down
I was thinking the 165 million awarded was going to be for that wreck in NorCal with the kids visiting college, this is for two deaths and a survivor, that is quite stiff even for gross negligence.
Which is exactly what a company as arrogant as FedEx needs.
Separate names with a comma.

Disclosure: Products for review were provided courtesy of Kat Burki.
Since I started MANE MAN years ago, I've come a long way in upping my skin care regimen. It was nonexistent through my teen and younger adulthood, in large part because I think I was just somehow gifted with fairly balanced skin.
As I've gotten older, I've held on to the idea of keeping my mug looking as youthful as possible and it's something that I try to take seriously. Recently, I tried some great products from Kat Burki so I'll be sharing some thoughts with you about how these products made me feel.
Before we fully dive in though, I want to take a step back and make a note about man often feel pressured to use "manly" products or products made for men. I definitely think there is space for products that are created for the unique skin challenges of men (many of us do shave, after all). We have larger pores and that can impact what our skin's needs are. However, there's generally a LOT that you can gain from dabbing into products from the other side of the aisle. There's a lot of good stuff out there that might help your best and it just be hidden in pink and green packaging.
Ocean Mineral Gel Cleanser
Lately, I've been using a thicker, creamier face wash to keep my skin clean and breakouts at bay. And in large part, it's been working well for me. That being said, when I tried the Ocean Mineral Gel Cleanser, it is nice break from what I've been used to lately.
While the cleanser is thinner than I would naturally like, I have to admit that scent and lightness is incredibly refreshing, and not in a heavily perfumed way. It's light and subtle, just as the branding suggests with its muted colors and overall soft demeanor. And unlike other washes, it feels very gentle. After use my skin feels clean and new, but not dry. And if you look at the ingredients list, you would see why. It's packed full of nutrients and oils. It's quickly become one of my favorite parts of my daily skin routine.
FORM CONTROL Marine Collagen Gel – How it Works from Kat Burki on Vimeo.
Lift & Fill Form Control Marine Collagen Gel
To be frank, I don't need "fill" in my face. At best it's youthful, cherubic even (facial hair is a must) which often throws people off because I've got a fair amount of gray sprigs of hair in my mane. Nonetheless, I'm committed to taking care of my mug and serums are really potent and powerful little additions to a skin care regimen. This gel is no joke. It definitely boasts hydration and makes a great nighttime treatment before bed. It's texture is smooth and slippery but not os that you end up wasting product in the sink when trying to get it out of the nice little pump bottle.
My only real qualm is that the gel's smell is not to my taste. It smells like cucumber to me, which is personally just a big NO-NO. I'm not a fan of cucumber in general, however, I've managed to get over it with this gel because it just feels so damn good.
These products are pricey so they may not be to everyone's taste or fit everyone's budget. But, I will also say that if you're looking for products that really help your skin feel hydrated and youthful, this is the way to go. You can learn more about these products at KatBurki.com.

The Davenport Signature Buffet Ratings and Reviews
The staff was very courteous and helpful. The food was amazing and there was a very large variety of options. I had an amazing birthday lunch. The table was set very elegantly. The music fit with the atmosphere. It was a breath taking experience. The food, music, service, and environment were all perfect.
Its probably our 20th time enjoying Sunday brunch at the Davenport and as always the selection was fantastic, sushi fresh, homemade crapes, leg of lamb excellent, prime rib cooked to perfection, all of the sides were amazing, stellar service, worth the trip for Montana , every time !!
Come hungry!
The historical room was incredible and the food was excellent. I was so impressed by the variety and the quality of the food selections. I felt the staff at the food stations were well informed and very professional. In particular, the dessert bar was over the top in it's variety of small tasty treats. The custom ice sculpture at the seafood bar was beautiful!
My only complaints are how crowded it was for the cost of the meal. I felt the tables were pushed too close together. I would have preferred that there was a dress code simply because for the cost of the meal, I was surprised how casual many people dressed. It would have been nice to have a coat rack or coat check. My coat was long and was on the back of my chair so it was stepped on by patrons. The wait staff was very slow because they seemed to have too many tables to serve and it took a long time to get our invoice which we needed to ask for.
The food just wasn't as good as last year. Don't know if it was over-booked, the tables were just packed together to the point that it was difficult for the servers to work. The prime rib and the pork were over-done , but the ham and all the cold seafood were excellent. The advertised braised short ribs had been replaced with the tough stuffed pork. We will go back next year, because this is what we do on Christmas and hopefully it will be back on the Davenport track of wonderful food without the crowded mess since Christmas is on Tuesday.
Overall the food was very good but I was so disappointed with the service. When we were seated we were told we could wait for our server or start eating. So our table of 5 filled our plates and began eating. The place was bustling with servers to every table but ours. I thought the server would come since we were all seated and we were at the table between the ballroom and the Hall of Doges right by the stands where the water/champagne stations were. Our waters were low and no champagne was offered although the table next to ours had an attentive server who kept going over there. I looked around several times at various servers like "hey, anyone notice us?'. When we got up for round two a server walked by and I said May I have some champagne please? so my glass & my husbands was filled. Then on the second round our waters had not been touched so in disgust I got up and grabbed a pitcher from one of the stands and filled up the glasses. Immediately I was flanked by a server wanting to take the pitcher from me and finish. I felt like - don't bother, we have been up and down serving ourselves why show up now? Same with our plate removal - when my husband came back from his first round his plate was still there and so was my son's. He mentioned it so when he got up for dessert I grabbed all of the empty plates and put them on the tray!!! On a good note when the hostess saw my snapping pictures she offered to take a group shot of the whole table. I love the Davenport and have wanted to come to the brunch since we moved to Idaho but it was a let down. However I appreciated the chance to say this, I would not go on YELP etc to bad mouth the experience.
It's an experience, but not a value. The poor wait staff was clearly spread thin, and when we got up for a final run to the buffet we found half of our unfinished drinks removed presumably because they thought we had left. Great selection of items though, done well for a buffet but not quite as good as their restaurant counterparts.
This was a birthday brunch for my mom and there were 10 family members together. The food was great but our reservation was at 11:15 and we waited more than a 1/2 hour to be seated (close to 12:00 by the time we sat down). Our table was ok - not great. Also, 2 of the 10 chairs were broken and there were several other broken chairs next to our table along the wall. Our used plates were not picked up without asking our server to do so. We had to find someone to refill our coffee and provide cream for said coffee. And finally, 2 of the party were children under 12 and I learned (too late) that we were charged full price for them. All in all, somewhat of a disappointment for a special occasion.
This is a tradition we like to do with our family on Christmas. We try to go out for a special meal every year. We enjoy going to the Davenport for their brunch but have also gone for dinners because it is so festive. We felt like the tables were much to close together for comfort and were disappointed that there was no wild fish served as in years past. In was so excited last year when they had wild salmon and looked forward to that this year but there was none. The service was excellent as always. The price is a bit extravagant.
We planned our brunch to celebrate the birthdays of 2 family members. Our reservations were at 11am and you had already run out of prime rib. Turkey was offered as a substitute but wasn't acceptable especially for the price per person in our opinion. Many other delicious food choices but the Birthday girls wanted prime rib and we were embarrassed. Not sure we'll return.
The dining tables were placed way too close to one another. It made getting up and down from the table difficult and uncomfortable. Our server was the best we've ever had anywhere, fantastic and very personable. The Davenport used to have the Sunday Buffet on the 1st floor in a much more intimate and elegant setting. For some reason it was moved to the 2nd floor in a very large banquet room and lost the elegant and intimate feel I'm used to. Normally a 5/5, but with the change in rooms/setting and too many tables/chairs, giving it a 4/5.
From the moment we arrived we were well taken care off. The reception desk and our host graciously welcomed us and seated us immediately. Mary was ready to meet us at our table and took care of our every need throughout the brunch. The food was wonderfully prepared and displayed and the variety was overwhelming. Our experience was beyond our expectations.
We attended for the Christmas brunch after hearing such rave reviews about the food and ambience. We had to make reservations through Open Table as the hotel did not take them. We were seated at a table for 4, but we were just a couple looking for a nice Christmas event. We were told the food was fabulous and a wonderful selection including fresh crab. I had dined in the PALM COURT earlier in the week and the hostess told me the crab is in season, and there would be plenty. When we asked our waiter he said none was being served this year as previously people ate too much of it! The rest was very disappointing. Bright lights in a large ballroom over-run by kids on a sugar high were enough to say that for over $100, we would not go back.
We had a reservation for 1130 but we were not seated til nearly 1200. It was extremely crowded and loud. Buffet lines were confusing and disorganized. Food was displayed beautifully. The prime rib was superb, as was the sushi, lox, and shrimp. The fruit was lovely, so were the salads. Coffee was terrible, tasted scorched. Hollandaise sauce was tasteless. The grilled salmon tasted very fishy. Server was ok. Forgot iced tea for one of us, had to be reminded. Refills for mimosas were minimal. Asked if we were ready for the check while we were still eating? I have always loved brunch at the Davenport....now not so much.
Brunch was extremely busy, we were seated almost 30 minutes after our reservation. Due to the crowd, the noise level in the dining room was excessive - conversation was difficult with the quieter members of the party.
Service was top notch, food was very good.
We would certainly return, although we might try to choose a lower traffic weekend.
A group of friends and myself have came to brunch around my birthday for the past 5 years and we loooove it!! We have had Mary as our server almost every time and she is amazing, always so friendly. We all love seeing her every year and our funny conversations with her. The Davenport brunch is something we all look forward to every year!
The beautiful setting for our meal at the Davenport was a very nice experience. We enjoyed our Sunday brunch with all the available choices of the breakfast and luncheon items offered. It is a wonderful place for a relaxed meal surrounded by the old flair of a bygone era .
I travel throughout the US and believe the Davenport Hotel is the finest hotel we have. The doorman is amazing. The lobby is stunning. The reception is warm. The service is fabulous. The brunch is incredible. Did I say the lobby is stunning? Well, it's worth repeating!!
Overall our group of six thoroughly enjoyed the buffet. One person in our party is a vegetarian and another is gluten intolerant. Their food choices were surprisingly limited compared to other venues we've attended. Perhaps next year's Thanksgiving buffet could have a couple options for people with those dietary restrictions. All in all, everyone enjoyed the meal and the ambience of hotel. Our waitress was wonderful. We will definitely attend the Thanksgiving buffet again next year.
What is the point of making a reservation months in advance for 3 people and paying 65 dollars per person, only to be seated at a table set for 13? The Davenport Thanksgiving Buffet sets expectations high with its impressive menu and the ambience of the hotel lobby upon arrival, but that is where the positivity ends. Upon being seated at our huge round table for 13...all in a row, making it awkward to converse during dinner, and most likely appearing to others that most of our party bailed out, we waited for over 10 minutes before we finally beckoned to a waitress for another section of the room to take our drink orders. Ugh. The food itself varies from very good to bland. Highlights are the appetizers and the desserts. Fresh prawns and snow crab claws, along with a nice assortment of creative and well-presented salads and other offerings were delicious and varied. The desserts were also nicely presented and this year the dessert table was well-serviced and attended by staff, so the choices were kept well-stocked and neatly laid out unlike past years where one had to wait for refills of popular items and the tables were not kept from becoming messy. The main courses were ambitious, but only the turkey and the beef medallions were properly done and moist. The other meats, especially the fish, were overcooked and dry. The accompaniments were also, for the most part, victims of too much time on the warming plate. The macaroni and cheese was way past overcooked. The dressing on the other hand, was moist and delicious.
Still, even with the shortcomings of the food, the price would be almost worth it just for the indulgence and not having to eat leftovers for a week IF the hotel were able to secure competent staff who understand the real basics of good service and what is acceptable protocol for an upscale operation. A bill for over 200 dollars for three people for dinner warrants something beyond what the Golden Corral is offering in the way of customer service.

Brendan, Saint (circa 486-577)
Irish monk, born in what is now Tralee, in county Kerry, in 484 AD. He was educated under monastic influences and became a priest, but, filled with a great desire to travel, he went on a long journey to the western and northern islands, including the Hebrides, Shetland, and Faeroe Islands, and also to Brittany.
After his return, he traveled with a large party to the continent of Europe and to the Canary Islands, then called the Fortunate Isles. Returning from this second voyage, he founded in 561 the monastery in what is now Clonfert, in county Galway. Later he visited the island of Iona, in the Inner Hebrides, and the mainland of Scotland.
The travels of St. Brendan are the subject of a popular medieval romance, 'The Voyage of Saint Brendan', recounting his fabulous adventures. Influenced by this romance, mapmakers from medieval times into the 18th century included a Saint Brendan's Island on their maps. This island, just south of the Antilles and west of the Cape Verde Islands, was presumed to be his discovery. His traditional feast day is May 16.
Saint Brendan died at Enachduin, now Annaghdown, in 577 AD.

Bellator deal could reshape MMA landscape
Television giant Viacom's recent purchase of a majority interest in the tournament Bellator Fighting Championships shows that for long-term stability and financial success in a very difficult to crack mixed martial arts industry, timing is everything.
The UFC's purchase of the Strikeforce brand earlier this year made Bellator, which debuted in spring 2009, almost a default No. 2 brand in North America
. Bellator was already running more than two dozen live events per year and had a national television contract on MTV2, pulling in decent numbers for the station. But industry timing, more than a track record of success, is what led to Viacom's interest.
"We've been negotiating probably the better part of a year," said Kevin Kay, the president of Spike TV, the network that put the new-era UFC and MMA on the map when they agreed to air what was considered controversial programming back in 2005. "We saw our relationship with UFC coming to an end and we needed to think about something else. We wanted to stay in the space we helped build. Guys come here [to Spike TV] for MMA content. We're known for it."
In television's ever-changing landscape, networks believe live sporting events are more DVR-proof than other forms of programming, and this helped make the UFC into one of the past decade's true branding successes.
Spike's contract with the UFC ends at the conclusion of 2011, and with heavy hitters like NBC Universal and eventual winner Fox at the table, the UFC's price tripled from the current deal, estimated at $35 million per year. The level was simply too much for Spike, as a basic-cable entity, to compete with.
Spike had already been in a similar situation with pro wrestling, as it held the brand rights to the powerhouse World Wrestling Entertainment brand's Monday Night Raw franchise from 2000-05. When Vince McMahon's promotion returned to the USA Network, Spike stayed in the wrestling business by making a deal with the industry's struggling secondary promotion, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling.
While the new product draws nowhere near the audience of WWE, the group is among the most popular programming on the station. Viacom clearly hopes to do the same by placing Bellator on Spike.
And ownership has its privileges. If Bellator gains traction with the audience and the brand takes off, the company won't have to get into bidding wars to keep it and will have lifetime ownership of the company tape library.
"Every two or three years, we had to renegotiate [with UFC] and it was only going to get worse as their brand grew and their success grew," said Kay. "Our relationship with UFC was a really good thing, a great partnership and we wish them well. We helped them build their brand, but it was only going to get more expensive over time.
"We were renters. The opportunity with Bellator with buying is that you own it for a long period of time. It's locked up. There's no constant renegotiating and we build value in our equity."
Spike's contract with UFC provides for an added year, 2012, in which Spike retains rights to televise taped UFC programming and is not allowed to air any other MMA events. Because of that stipulation, Bellator, which currently runs on Saturday nights on MTV2 and the HD network Epix, won't debut on Spike until early 2013.
So why make the announcement more than a year before the debut?
"We've been talking about it for a long time," said Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney. "There are a lot of really smart people over there who had to do a lot of due diligence, a lot of investigation. For us, it's a perfect alliance at this stage of Bellator's development. I've got a partner who is one of the leading, largest and most powerful entertainment partners in the world, with MTV, MTV2, Spike, Comedy Central, and they wrote the book on MMA on television."
[ Related: MMAWeekly: updated divisional rankings ]
"I think people kind of sensed something was going on," said Kay. "I'd read a lot. Bjorn read a lot. Are they going to survive? Are they going to make it? We wanted to give people confidence in their future. We're majority owners and this company is going to have a long life. It's going to stay and we want fans to know that, we want clients to know that and we want fighters to know that."
Bellator's key promotional hook, running several three-month long eight-man tournaments per year, with winning the tournament the only way to qualify for a championship match, will stay the same.
But there are plans for changes, such as a reality show and other types of shows. In addition, the Bellator stars will be marketed across the Viacom platforms, and they are looking for a Bellator presence on other Viacom properties.
For the weekly shows, the company is looking to upgrade production, lighting, audio and graphics, and want shows held in first-class venues. They want to become more competitive in acquiring top talent. Bellator is also looking at doing more storytelling on the background of fighters and have ideas for non-live television specials, like Spike has done with UFC with "best-of" type specials.
Currently, Bellator runs tournaments in four of its current eight categories (the seven major men's weight classes and a 115-pound women's division) in each 12-week season. The plan for 2013 is to have six or seven tournaments each season, with one or two more shows as monthly specials. This leads to more contenders for championship matches, and the elimination of the non-title matches.
"[Champions appearing in non-title matches] have been a space-filler to get guys fights and keep our champions busy," said Rebney. "While there have been some great fights, the key is to provide the champions regular new opponents to defend their titles against." In addition, a decision needs to be made on which night of the week to air shows. Ratings for the current season of Bellator are down 15 percent from the spring, because of UFC running most Saturday nights, as well as competing with boxing and college football. There has been a noticeable correlation between UFC live events and lower Bellator ratings.
"We've got 14 or 15 months to figure out what night of the week it'll do the best on," said Kay. "Once we get it on the air, it'll have a major push. There will be a lot of programming. We have to figure out if we are to do the tournaments as they currently exist or toy with it to have more programming. We need to get good fighters to fight, both for our TV audience and for the athletes."
"We're hyperfocused with our partners and the MTV networks to figure out the day and the time that will reach the largest numbers of MMA fans," said Rebney. "It may be Saturday night. It may be a different night. We're bouncing things around as we speak. It's an anomaly to be able to work with people with an open mind for alternatives and what will be the right night and they'll due do their due diligence and investigation. They wrote the book. They know what we're looking for, the best night for the most people."
The goal is to eventually build the brand to the point it can be successful on pay-per-view, although both Rebney and Kay don't see that in the near future.
"Pay-per-view is one of those things, it's almost like baking a cake, it's done when it's ready," said Rebney. "We're not at that point now. We've got some great fights coming up, but the pay-per-view opportunities for Bellator may come sooner, or they may come later. It's nothing we're going to do in a month or six months."

Stephanie Mills was born in 1957 in Brooklyn, New York. The young Stephanie grew up singing gospel music in her local church, but before she reached the age of ten, she had already made her Broadway debut. After winning a series of amateur competitions, including ones at the prestigious Apollo Theater, she earned a job as the supporting act for the Isley Brothers. Her debut album, Movin' in the Right Direction was released in 1974, when Mills was still a teenager, but her biggest and most famous role was just around the corner. One year later, she was offered the role of Dorothy in the Broadway production of The Wiz, the role with which she is most associated and for which she earned the highest accolades from the critics.
Mills continued her endeavors as a solo recording artist, though, and in 1978 she released Whatcha Gonna Do With My Lovin', an album which reached gold status and gave audiences the hit singles "Whatcha Gonna Do With My Lovin'" and "You Can Get Over." A series of hit albums and singles followed over the years, including: Sweet Sensation (1980), Stephanie (1981), Tantalizingly Hot (1982), Merciless (1983), I've got the Cure (1984), Stephanie Mills (1986), If I Were Your Woman (1987), Home (1989), Something Speical (1992), and Personal Inspirations (1995), featuring the hits "Sweet Sensation," "Never Knew Love Like This Before," "Try My Love," "Two Hearts," "Night Games," and "Don't Stop Doin' What Cha Do," "I Have Learned To Respect The Power Of Love," "Rising Desire," "If I Were Your Woman," "I Feel Good All Over," '"(You're Putting) a Rush On Me," and "Something In The Way You Make Me Feel."
Mills entered a period of hiatus during the end of the 1990's, and was quiet until the new millennium, when she launched a comeback and released Born For This in 2004. Fans were eager to hear Stephanie's first single in more than ten years, "Can't Let Him Go," and the song hit was released to much anticipation on urban contemporary radio. Breathless came next in 2010, and in 2012, Stephanie Mills released the single "So In Love this Christmas." Mills continues to perform, tour, and record, and shows no signs of slowing down.
