Here are a few nifty events outside of Dover that you should consider checking out this weekend.
Comedy's Queen of Mean
WHAT Lisa Lampanelli standup show
WHEN 8 p.m., Friday; 8 p.m., Saturday; 3 p.m., Sunday
WHERE Grand Opera House, 818 N. Market St., Wilmington
INFO Visit thegrandwilmington.org or call (800)-374-7263.
Lisa Lampanelli's style of comedy is communistic. She rags on everyone, from roasting the clock-wearing Flavor Flav to sweet ol' Betty White.
Prepare for sidesplitting comedy at its finest during Lampanelli's trio of performances this weekend at the Baby Grand in Wilmington. The first show starts tonight.
Lampanelli's rise to stardom in comedy began in 2002 when she was the only female comedian invited to torch Chevy Chase during a Friars Club Roast on Comedy Central. Soon after, she became one of the few white comedians to perform on BET's "Comic View," cementing her huge crossover appeal.
A year later, Lampanelli shook up Comedy Central again with consecutive appearances on "Premium Blend" and on the "Roast of Jeff Foxworthy," in which she was the only female invited to roast him.
Multiple acts on the cheap
WHAT The Bullbuckers, The Lift Up and Mark Thousands in concert
WHEN 8 p.m., Saturday
WHERE Mojo Main, 270 E. Main St., Newark
INFO Visit mojomain.com or call (302) 369-6656
The Bullbuckers, The Lift Up and Mark Thousands will give you more than enough homegrown tunes to satisfy your tummy on Saturday night at Mojo Main in Newark.
The Lift Up, a three-piece with a garage-band sound, will likely preview tunes off its upcoming album, "Without Dreams, We Are Only Sleeping," slated for release on Sept. 10. The nine songs on the album alternate from aggressive, modern rock garage stompers and quiet moments of equally intense sonic reflection, all the while remaining short and to the point. "Without Dreams" was co-produced by the band and Grammy-nominated producer Jim Salamone.
Then there's The Bullbuckers, a horn band with a reggae, ska and soul personality that commands movement and attention. Meanwhile, Mark Thousands is an indie singer-songwriter with a transparent passion for music.
Additional acts are to be announced for Saturday's concert.
Celebrating Hispanic culture
WHAT 19th annual Festival Hispano
WHEN Noon to 6 p.m., Sunday
WHERE Millsboro Little League Complex, 262 W. State St., Millsboro
COST Free admission
INFO Visit elcentrocultural.org or call (302) 745-6828
In addition to celebrating all Latin American countries, this Sunday's 19th annual Festival Hispano will place a special emphasis on Chile.
With an estimated 5,000-plus people expected to attend the festival on Sunday, the event will be held at the Millsboro Little League Complex. Expect a variety of Hispanic cuisine, a designated children's area with games (starting at 1 p.m.), a costume contest for the best-dressed festivalgoers in Latin American attire (beginning at 1 p.m. in the children's area) and a wealth of rich music and native dances (starting a noon).
Festival Hispano will feature traditional folk music and dance groups from different regions of Chile. Grupo Lonquimay will show off classic dances from the northern and southern regions of the country, while Grupo Rumisonko will deliver music from the plateau region. Grupo Haka Nini will introduce snazzy footwork from Easter Island, which belongs to Chile. And Expresiones de Chile will present dances from the center region, including the Chilean traditional dance of Cueca, which is an assortment of styles associated with Bolivia, Peru, Chile and Argentina.

U.S. dairy exports cooled during September compared with prior months but were still significantly higher than September 2012. Declining month-over-month sales were mostly due to a seasonally low output of milk powder, whey products and cheese, according to a report last week from U.S. Dairy Export Council (USDEC).
Production of nonfat dry milk/skim milk powder, for instance, was just 59,240 tons, down from a peak of 93,000 tons in May. Even so, U.S. suppliers shipped 77 percent of their equivalent September production of NDM/SMP, and those exports were up 36 percent from a year earlier. That 77 percent equivalent is a healthy number, said Alan Levitt, USDEC vice president of communications. Over time, the U.S. needs to be exporting half of its powder or it will back up on the domestic markets, he said.
The volume and value of dairy exports in September was slightly lower than a few previous months, but a lot had to do with the low time of the year for milk and product production, he said. For the past seven years, September and October have been the lowest months of the year for milk production. And milk components fall in the summer, bottoming out in July, he said.
The combination of less milk and lower fat and protein levels results in manufacturers making less product, so there's less product to sell this time of the year. For the past 13 years, milk powder production has run 30 percent lower in the third quarter of the year compared to the second quarter, he said.
Despite the export slow down in September, U.S. dairy exports year to date are strong, with milk powder, cheese, lactose, and whey export volumes tracking at record highs, and butterfat and whole milk powder exports showing improvement in recent months, USDEC reported.
Exporters shipped 157,267 tons of milk powder, cheese, butterfat, whey, and lactose in September, up 22 percent from the prior year. On a value basis, they shipped $593 million, up 48 percent from September 2012, bringing year-to-date exports to $4.92 billion, 26 percent above last year.
On a volume basis, exports during September were up 40 percent for cheese, 36 percent for nonfat dry milk, 24 percent for dry whey, 2 percent for lactose, and 720 percent for butter year over year, and represented 16.6 percent of September milk production, Levitt said.
Dairy exports continue to run strong year over year. Exports of nonfat dry milk, for example, have been over 100 million pounds for the sixth straight month. That's very strong, said Eric Meyer, president of HighGround Dairy, a division of Chicago-based HighGround Trading Group, a brokerage and consulting firm.
Exports will continue to be sharply higher the rest of the year compared with 2012, as long as U.S. prices remain competitive, he said. Until global milk production meets extremely strong demand, the U.S. will continue to see higher dairy exports than the previous year. That could come as early as mid first quarter 2014 or as late as the second quarter, he said.
Milk production is expected to grow in all major milk-producing regions in the coming year. New Zealand, the EU and U.S. are already showing signs of an ambitious recovery. But demand for immediate delivery continues to out pace supple-side growth on a global scale in the near term, HighGround Dairy analysts reported last week. Global markets have not yet found a price level or enough supply to spark any real push back on prices from the global community, they stated.
While production is only one component in export sales, the U.S. will have more product available in the months ahead, with both milk production and component levels rising from December through the spring flush, Levitt said.
Competition is another factor in the equation. But the outlook is good, and conditions are still favorable for U.S. exporters, he said

Most of us equate too little activity with putting on pounds. But did you know that a sedentary lifestyle is considered one of the 10 leading causes of death and disability?
Most of us equate too little activity with putting on pounds. But did you know that a sedentary lifestyle is considered one of the 10 leading causes of death and disability?
It can lead to obesity, and, consequently, Type 2 diabetes. If you're sedentary, you are not alone — more than half of us do not get the recommended amount of exercise.
The Center of Health, Saugerties' integrated health-care facility, has been assisting patients in overcoming barriers and transition into a healthier lifestyle. Compliance is high, as activities are kept simple and incorporated into each patient's daily routine.
Some may feel that they simply don't have the time. Start with a "micro break" — 30 seconds — and incorporate stretching or strengthening or simply a mental breather. Sit up tall while taking three slow, deep belly-breaths. This calms the mind and body, allowing enhanced concentration, efficiency and a positive attitude. Be creative: Walk up and down stairs during phone calls. Take the stairs instead of an elevator. Skip the car for local errands.
Speaking of local, let's take Saugerties, for instance. If you're dining at one of Saugerties' excellent restaurants, walk through the village after you eat for some pleasurable exercise. Or walk to Cantine Memorial Field, use the skate park, shoot hoops, play tennis or become a participant in a sport: ice skating, hockey, basketball, volleyball, kayaking, bowling or softball. Or even simply jump up and down to cheer on local athletes! Saugerties also has many venues for golf, tennis, dance, riding and yoga lessons.
For excellent views, visit Saugerties Lighthouse, George J. Terpening Sr. Memorial Park in Malden or Glasco Mini-Park. Try Tina Chorvas Waterfront Park on the Esopus Creek and engage in water sports to relieve yourself from the effects of gravity while adding resistance by moving through water.
Take a stroll through Seamon's Park, stop by the historic Kirstead House, or enjoy the walking path at Horse Shows in the Sun (HITS).
Saugerties has plenty of bike routes and walking trails. The Esopus Bend Nature Preserve (esopuscreekconservancy.org) includes 11 trails of varying difficulty. The 192-acre Falling Waters Preserve has four trails, one of which is wheelchair-accessible, with spectacular views — and kayaking. Info can be found at scenichudson.org.
Bike routes provide wonderful views of our region. Maps are available at village.saugerties.ny.us.
Several of the Center of Health's patients go for daily walks with their dogs to a local park, trail or creek. Seniors often credit their canine friends with keeping them physically and mentally fit.
Gardening increases activity while rewarding you with the bounty of nature. Don't forget to visit the Farmers Market at 115 Main St. for healthy, fresh foods.
An active lifestyle is important to our health and wellness. It can also improve mobility, reduce chronic pain, and enhance our ability to perform daily activities. "Motion is lotion," says Dr. Robert D'Aiello, physical therapist at the Center of Health.
So grab a co-worker or neighbor. Enjoy the activity, keep it simple, and make that commitment today.

NEW YORK, NY – Major League Soccer will launch fan voting for the 2012 AT&T MLS All-Star game at www.MLSsoccer.com and via text messaging tomorrow, Friday, June 8 at 9 a.m. PT.
A panel of media members nominated a total of 114 players – the top six per team – to the fan ballot. Nominated for Whitecaps FC are goalkeeper Joe Cannon, defenders Jay DeMerit, and Young-Pyo Lee, midfielder Davide Chiumiento, and strikers Sebastien Le Toux and Camio Sanvezzo.
CLICK HERE TO VOTE. Fans can also vote by sending a player's first and last name via text message to 22442. Twitter voting will occur later this month.
The players with the highest combined votes from these three voting methods will become the first 11 All-Stars – known as the All-Star First XI. The player who receives the most text votes by 2 p.m. PT on Monday, July 2 will automatically earn a spot among the All-Star First XI.
All-Star Head Coach Peter Nowak of the Philadelphia Union will choose the gameday roster and the starting lineup against Chelsea FC on July 25. The first marquee MLS event ever to be held at PPL Park in Chester, Penn., will be broadcast live on ESPN2, TeleFutura, and in Canada on TSN and RDS starting at 5:30 p.m. PT
A total of 32 All-Stars are named each year, per the collective bargaining agreement. Media, fans, players, the All-Star coach and MLS Commissioner Don Garber all contribute in the All-Star selection process.
The 32 players named 2012 AT&T MLS All-Stars will be selected in four phases:
- Ballot creation: A select media panel determined the field of players – six players per team – who are most deserving of consideration for this year's All-Star Game. Those 114 players are eligible for fan voting.
Fan voting: Through July 2 at 2 p.m. PT, fans will select the "First XI" All-Stars. Fans can vote via any of three digital platforms:
- At MLSsoccer.com: Vote for your starting lineup of 11 players, beginning June 8.
Via text message (SMS): Text an MLS player's first and last name to 22442.
- Each vote will count equally with those submitted online in determining the First XI.
- The player who receives the most text votes will automatically earn a spot among the First XI.
- Message and data rates may apply.
- Twitter: Details of Twitter voting will be released in the near future.
The First XI will be announced on Sunday, July 8, on ESPN during halftime of the Chicago Fire-LA Galaxy game that begins at 12 p.m. PT.
- Team selection: The MLS All-Star head coach will select the gameday roster from the pool of eligible players, consisting of the First XI as determined by the fans, MLS Commissioner Don Garber's two selections and players who received votes from at least two players.
The Commissioner selections and gameday roster will be announced on Sunday, July 15 on ESPN during halftime of the New York Red Bulls vs. Seattle Sounders FC game that begins at 1 p.m. PT.
- Player selections: MLS players will determine the remainder of the 32 All-Stars named annually per the CBA (known as the "inactive roster").
The final list of 32 All-Stars (4 goalkeepers, 8 defenders, 13 midfielders and 7 forwards) will be announced on MLSsoccer.com on July 25.

While there are concerns that growth of Samsung Electronics Co.'s smartphone business will slow, the South Korean technology giant's memory-chip business may become its new bright spot.
Samsung is best known for consumer electronics such as its Galaxy smartphones and television sets, but the company is also the world's biggest supplier of memory chips used to save data in various electronic devices.
"The strong outlook for the memory-chip business more than makes up for concerns about a slowdown in smartphones," said Sanford C. Bernstein analyst Mark Newman, who has an "outperform" rating for Samsung shares.
A major factor behind the bullish view on Samsung's memory-chip business is the rise in chip prices, due in part to a fire that broke out last month at a factory that produces dynamic random access memory chips. DRAM chips are widely used in personal computers, tablets and smartphones, and Samsung is the largest supplier of such chips. SK Hynix Inc., the South Korean chip maker that runs the factory, has said that it expects the plant to return to normal operations by November.
DRAMeXchange, which tracks the chip market, said last week that the rise in DRAM prices will likely persist in the coming months amid tighter supply.
The fire has spurred expectations of a possible shortage of not only DRAM chips but also of another type of memory chip called NAND flash memory. Hynix has said it may use some of its NAND chip production capacity to produce DRAM chips instead to make up for lost output after the fire. NAND chip contract prices rose between 3% and 6% in the second half of September, according to DRAMeXchange.
Solid chip pricing is not just a temporary outcome of the fire, but also a longer-term trend as a result of consolidation in the chip industry, Mr. Newman said. In the DRAM market, for example, U.S. chip maker Micron Technology Inc.'s acquisition of Japanese rival Elpida Memory Inc. last year, as well as the decline of Taiwanese DRAM chip suppliers, has resulted in more restrained supply and better pricing, he said.
Increasingly, investors are wondering whether Samsung's smartphone business can sustain its profit growth even if the percentage of cheaper handsets — typically sold at lower margins — increases in Samsung's overall smartphone sales volume.
As of Monday afternoon in Asia, Samsung shares were up 1.3%.

Japanese Serow
(Capricornis crispus)
Facts about this animal
The Japanese serow is a large chamois with a head-body length of up to 180 cm, height at shoulder of up to 110 cm, and a body-weight of up to 140 kg. It has a naked nose pad, long, narrow and pointed ears, well-developed antorbital glands and, in both sexes, slightly curved horns of 8-15 cm length. There are conspicuous white cheek beards, but no well-developed mane. The hooves are short and the tail is moderately bushy.
The Japanese serow wears a coat of long hairs varying from white to purplish black in colour, giving a mottled grey appearance on the upper parts and being lighter on the under parts. The legs are dark brown or black, and there may be a dark "collar" encircling the lower neck. The ears are covered in brown hair, while the bridge of the nose is dark and naked.
Serows are usually solitary but sometimes are found in pairs or family groups of up to seven. They are territorial. The rutting season is in fall or winter. After a gestation period of 200 to 230 days, a single kid weighing about 3.5 kg is born during the months of May to September. The kid will reach full size and leave the mother's territory at 12 months and become sexually mature by 3 years.
Did you know?
that serows are the most primitive living Caprinae? Fossils of serowsappear in the late Pliocene of 7 to 2 million years ago, and also the oldest known fossil Caprinae dating back 35 million years closely resemble serows.

Why do zoos keep this animal
The Japanese serow is not a threatened species and is only rarely kept by zoos. It is of educational interest, in Japan as an important element of the native fauna, in other parts of the world to familarise people with the lesser known fauna of Japan, e.g. along with Japanese macaques and Japanese sika deer, or to allow for a comparison with native rupicaprine species, such as the Alpine chamois in Europe, or the Mountain goat in North America.

Hi there. I am a fairly experienced ESL teacher about to start a TESOL Masters on campus here in the States. I have taught 3 years in Korean hagwons, mostly with kids but some adult classes, taught adults 3 months in a Palestinian Refugee Camp {Jenin}, and am currently tutoring Saudi adults at a private language center here in Austin, Texas 20 hours a week. I have a Bachelors in International Politics from a U.S. university. My plan is to get the TESOL Masters and head for the Middle East, most likely Saudi or Oman, as I need to acquire some significant savings. I am open to any country there, but do need to focus on savings. I have a very strong interest in the region and am also aiming to make good money and move up the ESL ladder. I should add that I'm a pretty thick-skinned guy with alot of travels and life experiences under my belt. I'm in my mid- thirties. Reading these forums in great detail over the last few years, I am basically aware of the general picture they present. What I'm wondering is, if I get the Masters, are there ANY good jobs over there? I'm very willing to work my way up he ladder after attaining my MATESOL, but want to be sure its leading somewhere. Many of the posts on here are rather negative and so many people seem to feel ripped off and degraded in their jobs. Is anyone getting treated professionally over there, feeling secure in their jobs and lives there in return for working hard and doing a good job? The Masters is a big investment of time and money, and I feel a bit nervous that even with it I may be treated shabbily or be no better off than I would be with a CELTA. If I do things the right way, attain the Masters and work hard in my future position, can I expect decent positions and some degree of professionalism? Also, in Saudi, Kuwait or Qatar, could one realistically expect to save $25,000 U.S. a year if living fairly humbly? Your thoughts are much appreciated, truly. This is a huge decision and I'm not getting any younger. Thanks! PS I am posting this on a few forums, hope thats OK!

Trends toward user roles, clearer pricing could help the customer, Forrester report says
The price of software licentsing, and the complexity of licensing agreements themselves, could become more customer-friendly if some trends take hold, according to an April Forrester Research report.
The old traditional software licensing models aren't showing value for organizations, according to Forrester's "Software Pricing and Licensing Trends 2011." The report is aimed at CIOs and software vendor managers who must deal with the sometimes twisted world of software licensing. It offers intellectual self-defense and a call to arms to push the software industry toward more meaningful, or "customer friendly," licensing and pricing.
In the current model, a software vendor ties its product licensing to hardware, such as the number of processors in a machine or per CPU. It also may use its licensing model to deter virtualization. As organizations scale operations and use hardware with multiple cores, the cost calculations become ever more complex, and even bizarre, such as when software vendors base the licensing on the type or brand of equipment used.
These software licensing approaches arose from need of the software vendors to justify consistent annual returns to financial analysts, the report explains. Traditional models do generate those revenues, but they just alienate software buyers. The top business goal of CIOs is to reduce organizational costs, according a 2009 Forrester survey of companies in North America and Europe. However, organizations may have little control over the hardware infrastructure that in turn ratchets up software costs via licensing agreements, making cost control difficult.
The only case where tying software to hardware makes sense is with operating systems, according to the report.
Two pricing trends could start to change this scenario over the next three years. One trend is pricing software based on user roles. Microsoft currently offers this option in some of its enterprise agreements and will offer it with its Office 365 hosted solutions, the report explains. However, going that route may conflict with other licensing options that Microsoft's customers may prefer. Another trend, typified only by SAP's efforts, according to the report, is clear communication of software pricing. The complexities of many software licensing agreements tend to put buyers in tenuous positions.
"Software companies have been trying to shore up the crumbling edifice by issuing ever more complex policy guidelines that 'reinterpret' the language -- in effect unilaterally changing the contract to their own advantage," the report states.
The foil for those two positive pricing trends is typified by IBM and Oracle, which have strong product lines to protect their per-core software pricing models. The report suggests that greater flexibility in software maintenance programs is needed across the software vendor industry, but such reforms may be particularly costly for vendors such as IBM and Oracle. Software vendors make money compelling their customers to pay maintenance fees on "shelfware," or software that's licensed but not used, and any reforms there could cost IBM and Oracle "hundreds of millions of dollars," according to the report.
Traditional software licensing and pricing models are mostly being pushed today by cloud-based service offerings. The report identifies four alternative models to consider, listing the advantages and disadvantages. Those alternative models include software-as-a-service offerings (Salesforce, Netsuite, Ariba and SuccessFactors), pay-as-you-go models (Amazon EC2), "freemium" (Gmail, LinkedIn, Salesforce Chatter and Tripit), open source (Ingres, Red Hat, Oracle and IBM) and advertising funded (Spiceworks).

We agree that software pricing models are in the throes of significant change. Last year Flexera Software conducted our sixth annual Software Licensing and Pricing survey assessing key issues and trends on the minds of software vendors, high-tech manufacturers, and enterprise IT executives and managers. The survey of 234 participants, prepared jointly with IDC, found that software vendors and their enterprise customers are looking for better strategies to derive more value for their organizations through software licensing and pricing.
Some interesting findings of the survey include:
• The overwhelming majority of enterprises (59%) prefer concurrent user (floating/network) licensing. However, the demand for usage-based pricing models is growing significantly – 16% (up from 11% last year).
• While we saw fewer producers offering seat (named-user) (28%) and financial metric (revenue, cost, royalty) (5%) pricing models in 2010, on the whole, variety increased, with the largest growth in seat (per machine/server) (65%) and concurrent user (63%) licensing models. Producers, clearly responding to growing enterprise demand saw usage-based software licensing increase to 22% -- up from 15 percent last year. Gains were also seen in processor core pricing models. Over the coming two years, 41% of producer's expect to offer some sort of usage-based pricing.
• 39% of producers have indicated that they have changed their pricing and licensing policies over the past two years to make them more flexible. Overwhelmingly, the two reasons for this shift have been to generate more revenue (54%) and improve customer relations (50%).
• Both enterprises and producers are largely satisfied with current pricing models, however. The survey asked enterprises to rate their satisfaction of pricing for database, middleware, ERP, CRM, engineering and desktop applications. Most respondents indicated they were anywhere from neutral to highly satisfied. They were most satisfied with database software pricing -- with only 10% of respondents registering dissatisfaction; they were least satisfied with ERP software pricing, but not by a significantly higher amount -- only 20% registered dissatisfaction.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — The dollar lost ground against most of its major rivals on Thursday after readings on retail sales and employment came in weaker than expected.
The ICE dollar index DXY, -0.70% which tracks the greenback against six other currencies, declined to 80.308 from 80.718 late Wednesday. The WSJ Dollar index BUXX, -0.57% a measure of the U.S. unit's strength against a broader basket of comparison currencies, slipped to 73.62 from 73.86 late Wednesday.
U.S. retail sales fell 0.4% in January, worse than the 0.1% slip expected by economists polled by MarketWatch. Initial weekly jobless claims rose by 8,000 to 339,000, missing forecasts for a decline to 330,000.
U.S. Treasurys rallied while stocks were up.
Meanwhile, the British pound GBPUSD, +0.4619% rose further on Thursday after touching the highest level in three weeks on Wednesday, to $1.6660 from $1.6587 late Wednesday.
The Bank of England on Wednesday raised its growth forecast of the U.K. economy to 3.4% this year, up from a previous projection of 2.8%. The central bank also said the unemployment rate has fallen faster-than-expected and is likely to reach the 7% threshold by the spring of this year.
"The central bank's rosier outlook for the economy has driven U.K. yields sharply higher and we believe that they will continue to rise, driving GBP (the British pound) higher," said Kathy Lien, Managing Director for New York-based BK Asset Management.
Likewise, the dollar USDJPY, -0.72% continued its downward trend against the yen after losses in the previous day, slipping to ¥102.27 from ¥102.44 late Wednesday.
The euro EURUSD, +0.7589% also advanced against the dollar, to $1.3677 from $1.3592. The currency pair shrugged off an announcement of the resignation of Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta, which he said he will tender after just 10 months in office.
The Australian dollar AUDUSD, +0.7421% was last at 89.85 U.S. cents from 90.29 U.S. cents late Wednesday. The Aussie has slumped after Australia said Thursday that it lost 3,700 jobs in January, contrary to market expectations of an increase in employment. The unemployment rate jumped to 6%, its highest level in a decade.
The dollar had jumped against the Australian dollar earlier Thursday, after Australia's jobless rate climbed to the highest in a decade, sparking some concerns that the country's central bank might cut interest rates. But those gains then faded.
"There's little doubt such weakness makes it too early to dismiss entirely the chance of the RBA (Reserve Bank of Australia) cutting further," said UBS economists in a report on Thursday. The data "should ease concern that the recent strong turnaround in housing activity, house prices, retail spending and business conditions — and higher than expected CPI — will lead to nearer-term rate hikes."
Analysts from financial service firm IG Group expected the Australian central bank to maintain a neutral stance for some time, while closely watching the looming private capital expenditure figures and future inflation reads.

I have been eating incredibly delicious sandwiches for the last few days ... No toaster involved - Chere via Facebook
We have had sandwiches using this bread, and it was fabulous! I had stopped eating sandwiches much because the bread would dry out so badly. I made these in the morning and ate about noon. The bread did not dry out. It tasted great and had a fabulous texture. My GF-by-choice boyfriend loves it and said, "Please get this out in as wide of a distribution as possible" via the Web.
Love the breads! Especially the fact that they don't need toasting first, although I tried a slice toasted for breakfast yesterday. It was good toasted, too. via the Web.
Yesterday morning I packed a salmon salad sandwich on the new soft multigrain bread and it travelled stupendously. Great sandwich later in the day. And the loaf was a few days old! Amazing. - Susan via Facebook
|Our Full Size Loaf compared to another brand.
We've done something is rare in today's world. We increased the size of our loaf of bread and we reduced the price! Breads are a full size loaf with regular thickness slice. It looks like "real bread" and tastes and smells like it too. While they're about the same size, we've reduced the price of our buns too, by over a dollar per package.
With an industry leading price of less than $5.00 suggested retail for the line, the new Kinnikinnick Soft Products are as affordable as they are tasty.
I was so excited to see full loaves of bread! The bread feels soft like regular bread and smells heavenly!
Good Nutrition and Gluten Free used to be mutually exclusive. We recognize our responsibility to not only create a product line that tasted great, but that is good for you. No more empty carbs & starches. Kinnikinnick Soft Bread & Buns have great nutritional values to go along with their outstanding taste and texture.
|Soft Multigrain Bread With Brown Rice, Sunflower Seeds, Flax Seeds Quinoa & Teff
All of the new products (even the white ones!) :
- Have at least 5 g of Fiber per serving
- Have Zero Cholesterol
- Have Zero Trans Fat
- Have 1 g or less sugar per serving
- Are Fortified with 5 essential nutrients
- Are lower in sodium than our existing bread products and many other bread products on the market (even non-gluten free breads)
- Have no Artificial Colours, Flavours or Preservatives
|Bright New Packaging And Suggested Retail Prices.
Like all other nationally distributed gluten free bakery products, our new products are sold out of the freezer. (yes, even the products that are sold "fresh" on the shelf have been previously frozen in most cases). To help you find our new products in the freezer, we've completely redesigned our packaging with bright colours and a bold new design. The distinctive bright yellow body has a window at the bottom so you can see the great looking breads and buns and has, as we mentioned above, the easy to read nutritional summary panel.
We've already started shipping orders to our distributors and the word is spreading in the retail stores but the official launch date is in March. It will take some time for the new breads to hit the stores. You will be able to buy them directly from our website and a limited number of retail stores starting today.
The situation is a bit different with our new Soft Hamburger & Soft Hot Dog Buns. Starting, immediately, these new items will be replacing our existing hot dog & hamburger buns. If your store is currently carrying either bun, you'll know the new ones are in stock when you see the bright yellow package.
|Soft Hot Dog Bun
|Soft Hamburger Bun
The new Bread and Hot Dog Rolls are AMAZING!!!!! - Monika, VA via FacebookWithout doubt the best GF hamburger bun I have ever tasted. Texture was perfectly 'bready' made for a fantastic burger. via the Web
This range of buns is sure to be a huge success. It is hard to believe they are gluten free. via the Web
The new
#gfree soft buns from Kinnikinnick are a hit at the pub! via Twitter
Absolutely LOVE LOVE the bread! I'm sold after having just 2 slices. Keep on makin magic! via Twitter
"I've never had anything in my whole life that tastes so good!!!!!"

How is that State of the Union speech working out for you, Mr. Goodell?
Just days before the signature sporting event in the United Football States of America, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell reigns over an empire in disarray.
How is that State of the Union speech working out for you, Mr. Goodell?
Just days before the signature sporting event in the United Football States of America, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell reigns over an empire in disarray.
The family of Junior Seau filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the league in California Superior Court on Wednesday, claiming that the NFL hid the danger of repetitive blows to the head, leading to brain damage that contributed to Seau's suicide last May.
The case may be bolstered by a recent pilot study at UCLA involving brain scans of five former NFL players that reveals images of the protein that causes football-related brain damage, marking the first time researchers have identified signs of the disease in living players.
Then you have former Oakland Raiders great Tim Brown and Hall of Famer Jerry Rice, who are accusing former coach Bill Callahan of "sabotaging" the Raiders in their Super Bowl loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs a decade ago.
Meanwhile, the signature star of this year's Super Bowl, Ray Lewis, is seeing his heroic warrior reputation get trampled by a number of skeptical observers, including the wife of New England wide receiver Wes Welker. Anna Burns Welker wrote on Facebook: "…Acquitted for murder. Paid a family off. Yay. What a hall of fame player! A true role model!"
And by the way, Sean Payton, implicated and suspended in the infamous Bountygate scandal, just got reinstated after receiving a five-year extension from the New Orleans Saints.
Oh, my.
Taken separately, these tidbits may simply be minor distractions as the NFL PR machine revs up to full-throttle cranking out Super Bowl storylines. And while the "Harbowl" theme of two brothers coaching against one another certainly makes for compelling copy, traumatic brain injuries, lawsuits and scandal tend to muck up all that enthusiasm.
Make no mistake: the NFL is still king. It is the most popular sport in the United States. In a Harris Poll released last fall, 35 percent of the respondents chose pro football as their favorite sport. Baseball was runner-up with less than half that audience, at 17 percent.
But Goodell would be foolish to assume that it's business as usual when the circus packs up for New Orleans for the super spectacle between San Francisco and Baltimore.
Although the Callahan-Lewis-Payton chatter can be dismissed as controversial NFL pillow talk, the brain-scan study could become a nightmare.
The NFL is a violent gig. We all know that. But the damage done to these high-priced athletes, and the price they pay for playing a game they love, is making a lot of people reassess all the cheering that goes on when someone gets "jacked up" (once a popular feature on Monday Night Football telecasts, by the way).
Goodell is in a tough spot. It's impossible to reconcile the violence of the game with the demands to make it safer. But it's a tough reality when all those brain-damage warriors keep popping back up into living room. Witness that "punky QB, known as McMahon," who is barely able to find his way home these days.
Goodell has other legal matters to deal with beyond the Seau lawsuit. More than 2,000 former players filed a lawsuit last June, accusing the league of concealing information linking football-related injuries to long-term brain trauma.
"We knew there was going to be a chance for injury," Jim McMahon, the quarterback who led the Chicago Bears to a 1985 Super Bowl victory, told ESPN when the suit was filed. "We didn't know about the head trauma, and they [the NFL] did. That's the whole reason for the lawsuit."
The NFL was once the model sport in a country just a click away from making other choices. It still reigns supreme, but Mr. Goodell's kingdom stands on rocky ground.
Tread carefully, sir.

Tiny House News
I am excited to introduce a new site today called Tiny House News. When I started the Tiny House Blog I was the only one writing about tiny houses in the blog format. In the last few years the internet has come alive with many new blogs about tiny houses and people sharing there stories of building their own tiny houses.
I have wanted to add a feature on the Tiny House Blog that would show off these blogs but have not been able to find anything that did it justice. Recently I discovered a way to create a news type blog that uses the RSS feeds to connect to many of these blogs and I have created a site called Tiny House News. http://tinyhousenews.info/
My goal with this new site is to give you one place to get a snapshot of what is happening daily in the tiny house world. You can quickly scan the page and click on a story you are interested in and you will go directly to that blog or news source.
I currently have the most popular blogs on the site but a neat feature with this site is that you can submit your own blogs RSS feed and I will check it out and then approve it. So please go check out the Tiny House News site and let me know what you think about it below. http://tinyhousenews.info/
Be sure and bookmark the site and check on it daily!

So I tore her pubes out with my braces and gave her some kitty whiskers!

Fans of New Zealand tennis great Ruia Morrison-Davy, who reached the quarter-finals at Wimbledon, are fundraising to send the Rotorua grandmother back to the All England Club.
The effort echoes that of Maori communities in 1956 to support the then-national champion. In the amateur era it was up to national bodies to nominate players for Wimbledon but it was educationist John Waititi who convinced her father that a pan-Maori effort to financially support his daughter could succeed.
"He thought it was a good idea, the Maori people thought it was a good idea to send me. He and Dad formed a little committee and that was that."
In 1957 Morrison-Davy became the first Maori to compete at Wimbledon. Now 76, she turned 21 during her first trip to London. While other women were in their prime, in tennis terms, Ms Morrison - as she was then - was on a fast learning curve.
"I was a lonely little petunia in a big onion patch," she joked.
The excitement of being at one of the world's top sporting events for the first time is something she'll never forget.
"All I wanted to do was hit a ball. I had this all-consuming passion for tennis. You get artists, musicians who feel the same and they're off the planet, and it's what drives them. That's what I had in me. I didn't want to lose."
She reached the quarter-finals at her first Wimbledon, and made the round of 16 in 1958, 1959 and 1960. At her peak Morrison-Davy was ranked ninth in the world. What she lacked in physical presence (she was a shade under 1.54m) she made up in guile and a beautiful forehand.
Still, a few extra centimetres might have helped.
"In the back of my mind I thought, 'Imagine the angles I could play, seeing the court from a bird's eye view rather than a rat looking up'."
Over the years friends have asked her to return for a visit but she has not been able to. But a sister went and told her of the champagne treatment laid on during a trip to the tournament after she mentioned to a gatekeeper that her sister had competed in the 1950s.
"He looked at her and said, 'You're really Ruia Morrison's sister?' She said, 'Yes,' and he said, 'Well, for a moment I thought it was Ruia.' He was on the gate as a young man. He remembered me."
Her sister's group was taken up to the players' lounge. A Danish player from her era, Jorgen Ulrich, heard the women mention Ruia's name, chatted to the group and wrote a little card back to Ruia.
Made an MBE in 1960, Morrison-Davy went on to have a long domestic career, finally packing away her racket in the mid-1970s.
Teaching beckoned and once she made the decision to quit - it took her two years to convince her parents - her second career became her love. She retired in 1995 having served as a principal. She has been an important member of kapa haka group Ngati Whakaue Koeke.
Aotearoa Maori Tennis spokesman Dick Garrett said the trip was about saluting her contribution to sport.
"When we were young she was the darling of the South Pacific. The whole of New Zealand loved her."

Renowned Trend Forecaster Celente Sues Google For Allowing Impostors To Steal His Identity
KINGSTON, NY, 13 November 2012 — After numerous attempts to deactivate impostor blogs through Google's "Enforcement of Blogger's Content Policy," Gerald Celente has taken action. Last week he filed a federal lawsuit against Google and those running the impostor blogs.
This case could be precedent-setting and have wide implications for the Internet giant who owns the blog hosting service where the impostors flourish with impunity. The lawsuit, filed in New York last Wednesday, claims that malicious bloggers are exploiting Celente's name and trademarks in order to generate revenue for themselves through advertising.
The suit further states that the impostors post inaccurate and offensive information that viewers are led to mistakenly believe comes from Celente, thus doing irreparable harm to his reputation while damaging his business.
Commenting on his lawsuit, Celente observed, "When Google acquired Blogger last April it represented a departure from its business model. Indeed, Google admitted, 'truth is, we're still figuring a lot of it out.'
"A year later, since Google persists in refusing to act upon its own clearly stated anti-impostor policy, it would appear that either they are 'still figuring a lot of it out,' or they're making so much money from impostor blogs on their AdSense "click-through" advertisements that they just don't care about the extensive and ongoing damage being done," said Celente.
"Maybe The Google Blogger Team doesn't actually know what the word 'impostor' means," mused Celente. "The multiple complaints addressed to Google provided detailed information to substantiate my claims of trademark infringement, unfair competition and impersonation, but we receive only evasive, inane responses that fail to address the impostor issue:"
Thanks for Your reply.
Blogger is a provider of content creation tools, not a mediator of that content. We allow our users to create blogs, but we don't make any claims about the URLs or content of these pages. In cases involving trademark, if a contact email address is listed on the blog, we recommend you working directly with the author to have the information in question removed or changed.
The Blogger Team
Celente suggested that the Google Blogger Team should consult a dictionary for the definition of 'impostor:' One who imposes upon others for the purpose of deception; a pretender.
"You don't need a Philadelphia lawyer to tell you what the word means. Maybe Google would do well to contact Facebook for a lesson in how to address the impostor policy it claims to have but refuses to enforce," Celente added. "When I complained to the corporation about an impostor site hosted on Facebook, it replied swiftly and responsibly:"
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We have removed or disabled access to the third-party or user-generated content you have reported to us for violating our Statement of Rights & Responsibilities.
Celente contends that Google is one of the few social networking sites that has not yet developed a means for brand owners to protect their trademarks. "I continually read how Google aggressively protects its own intellectual property, why aren't they applying the same standards when it comes to protecting my intellectual property?" he concluded.
Note: The case is Celente et al. v. Google Inc. et al., case number 1:12-cv-08083, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Celente is seeking injunctive relief and monetary damages for unfair competition, cybersquatting and violations of privacy and publicity rights.

Are Social Issues Important to You In the 2012 Election? — Survey of the Day
Don't expect the 2012 presidential election to come down social issues.
The Pew Research Center asked 3,008 adults whether or not they rated 18 different "issues" as important to their vote in this November's election.
The three lowest rated of these issues were social ones — gay marriage (28 percent), birth control (34 percent) and abortion (39 percent)
While gun control was slightly higher at 47 percent, it still rated in the lower half of issues in terms of importance to voters. The two most important issues, not surprisingly, were the economy (86 percent) and jobs (84 percent).

Kristen Wiig and Jon Hamm Make Love 'Gross' on 'SNL's' Lawrence Welk Show
Given that this was Kristen Wiig's last episode as a 'Saturday Night Live' cast member, it was no huge surprise to see 'SNL' favorites appearing alongside her. This goes especially for Jon Hamm, as he has become the show's go-to star for cameos.
The 'Mad Men' star showed up in the cold opening, which was a parody of 'The Lawrence Welk Show.' Wiig reprised her role as the most "special" of the four singing Dooneese sisters, and as for Hamm, he played Italian crooner Gionni Prosciutto who's looking for love in all the wrong places.
Watch things get really awkward between the two 'Bridesmaids' co-stars.
When the more traditionally attractive Dooneeses return home to America, Prosciutto is left with the small-handed, dirty-minded sister. But instead of lamenting his bad luck, he makes the most of it and it's all pretty disgustingly hilarious.
Even though Wiig is leaving the show, we wouldn't be surprised if she makes some cameos of her own in the years to come, like some other former 'SNL'-ers have done before. Would this bizarre Dooneese character be one you'd like to see her bring back?


text: The Indians have apparently lost their minds and have decided to "fortify" their bullpen today by signing a British lawyer with unsavory ties to extremely questionable characters, which I can't figure out how this helps the team at all in the short term OR the long term. You know, back when I was picking beans in Guatamala ... what? Different Kobayashi? Oh, Masa Kobayashi - OK, OK - my Thanksgiving appetite just re-appeared. Seriously though, the Indians may have found the "inefficiency" in the FA market (where value exists as opposed to getting in bidding wars for the services of lesser players) that many teams fail to find (or choose not to look for) and could have identified some real value for the bullpen with the signing of Kobayashi. The 33-year-old Japanese reliever has compiled a 2.79 ERA with 227 career saves in 7 seasons, topping 20 saves in each of those seasons. He has a repertoire of a low-to-mid-90s fastball, a slider, and a cut fastball and has been durable throughout his career in Japan (although he spent some of 2007 on the shelf), so the Indians eschewed the barren domestic FA market for relievers and inked Kobayashi (for about what the middling middle relievers will fetch on the open market) without having to pay a posting fee as Kobayashi is an unrestricted Free Agent. Kobayashi's stats since 2001 are pretty impressive with the Chiba Lotte Marines: 2001 - 48 Games, 33 Saves, 52 IP, 47 K, 4.33 ERA, 1.29 WHIP 2002 - 43 Games, 37 Saves, 43 1/3 IP, 41 K, 0.83 ERA, 0.74 WHIP 2003 - 43 Games, 33 Saves, 47 IP, 30 K, 2.87 ERA, 1.19 WHIP 2004 - 51 Games, 20 Saves, 57 2/3 IP, 50 K, 3.90 ERA, 1.21 WHIP 2005 - 46 Games, 29 Saves, 45 1/3 IP, 33 K, 2.58 ERA, 1.28 WHIP 2006 - 53 Games, 34 Saves, 53 2/3 IP, 48 K, 2.68 ERA, 1.06 WHIP 2007 - 49 Games, 27 Saves, 47 1/3 IP, 35 K, 3.61 ERA, 1.37 WHIP Those are pretty consistent (and consistently impressive) numbers with similar stats across the board every year for 7 years. He averaged between 43 and 53 games, 43 1/3 and 57 2/3 IP, and 33 and 50 K over those 7 years, so it's not as if the Indians are taking one season of success and hoping it translates stateside. Ah, the translation of success from Japan to America... Success with Asian pitchers has been hit-and-miss, with recent signings from the Pacific Rim ranging from closer material to "why did we sign this guy". For every Takishi Saito (Dodgers closer) and Hideki Okajima (you remember him looking at Mike Lowell) standing out as some excellent finds, there are Kei Igawas that scream "Caveat Emptor" when dealing with Japanese pitchers. So, if we're going to accept that that success of Saito and Okajima is what the Indians are obviously trying to capture, is it fair to compare how those two fared in Japan for some measure of comparison? If so, Saito's last three years in Japan were as a starter (1st year with Dodgers - 2006), so we'll take a look at the last time he closed: Saito 2002 - 39 Games, 20 Saves, 47 2/3 IP, 46 K, 2.45 ERA, 1.09 WHIP 2001 - 50 Games, 27 Saves, 64 2/3 IP, 60 K, 1.67 ERA, 1.01 WHIP From those numbers, they look pretty similar to those of Kobayashi, but Okajima is the one that most people are comparing the signing to; so how do Okajima's stats look from his last 2 years in Japan? Okajima 2006 - 55 Games, 4 Saves, 54 2/3 IP, 63 K, 2.14 ERA, 1.10 WHIP 2005 - 42 Games, 0 Saves, 53 IP, 56 K, 4.75 ERA, 1.39 WHIP It looks like Okajima had higher K rates than Kobayashi, but Kobayashi is far and away the more proven product...in Japan. Okajima's success hinges on his deceptiveness to the plate and the illusion that the ball explodes out of his hand because of his exaggerated head snap. Does Kobayashi posses similar deception? It sure doesn't look like it based on this video from 2005, where Kobayashi certainly doesn't look too impressive pitching for Bobby Valentine, walking home a run before inducing an inning-ending grounder. In fact, the best comparison for a well-established closer to come from Japan to America would have to be Kazuhiro Sasaki, who made a seamless transition to MLB by compiling 129 saves for the Seattle Mariners from 2000 to 2003. Consider Sasaki's career Japanese stats against those of Kobayashi: Sasaki 439 Games, 252 Saves, 627 1/3 IP, 851 K, 2.41 ERA Kobayashi 445 Games, 227 Saves, 580 1/3 IP, 463 K, 2.79 ERA Outside of the K numbers put up by Sasaki in Japan, the two are relatively comparable in terms of how they left Japan - and Sasaki had marvelous success in MLB in his 4 years in the Emerald City. Of course, Kobayashi could just as easily mirror the career path of Shingo Takatsu (though Takatsu was 36 when he entered MLB); another Japanese closer to record over 200 saves in Japan. Obviously, something piqued the Tribe's interest for the Indians to go against their patterns of relievers working off of one-year deals to offer 2 guaranteed years to a reliever (for $6M), with a 3rd year as a club option (worth $3.25M) to Kobayashi, likely in part based on his track record. While we'll truly not know how Kobayshi's repertoire will translate to MLB until he toes the Jacobs Field rubber for the first time, his signing indicates that the bullpen essentially set (before Thanksgiving) with the 7 relievers that are likely to break Spring Training with the Tribe: JoeBo Betancourt Kobayashi Perez Lewis Fultz Mastny The goal of adding some back-end depth and making the bullpen deeper to accommodate for injury and ineffectiveness seems to have been accomplished prior to the Winter Meetings. Now, the advantage of adding Kobayashi to a largely settled bullpen is that he can work his way into the sequence of relievers while he acquits himself to his new surroundings. If he finds success, he can quickly become another back-end option in the bullpen to lead up to JoeBo or even become an option (with Betancourt) to close games as it certainly seems that he has the stomach for it. If he struggles out of the gate, other relievers exist on the staff to pick up the slack to allow him to attempt to right himself to prepare himself again for the back end. When it's all said and done, the Indians took a relatively low-risk, high-reward gamble on one of the more decorated relievers in Japan, strengthening the depth in their bullpen, allowing relievers to slot into roles out of Spring Training and shortening the game for the Tribe rotation. In this age of teams throwing money and years at fair relievers with track records in MLB, the Indians have embraced the trend of finding bullpen help elsewhere and it would seem that they started at a pretty high level by inking the pitcher third on the career saves list in Japan.

I've lost track of the Live CD efforts, but I seem to remember one in addition to the one above whose link is broken.
Now there is "One Step to GNUStep," a VM image.
As Sodki mentions below, http://etoileos.com/ is a GNUstep based effort to develop something that's not really a desktop environment, but something much different--a document-centered interface. When I read their goals, I am reminded more of things like the Canon Cat and Jef Raskin's The Humane Interface. It's worth looking in to their goals, as what they're trying to create is very different from the way we normally interact with computers, but not in a GNOME 3 way. (:
Also worth looking in to is http://www.midnightbsd.org/ . It's a fork of FreeBSD which aims to create a BSD optimized for desktop use. While development seems to be slow (it may be a one man show), the eventual goals include integration with GNUstep and Etoile.

The original buildings were constructed within less than a decade of each other, and both as private residences. MCASD, formerly known as South Moulton Villa, was built in 1896 and was the residence of Ellen Browning Scripps until her death in 1932. Her half-sister, Eliza Virginia, purchased Wisteria Cottage shortly after it was built in 1904 and it remained in her name until her death in 1921. Private walkways linked both buildings together, remnants of which remain today.
The exhibition runs through Jan. 5. A slightly revised version of the exhibition will be open from Feb. 8 through May 10 in the MCASD Jacobs Gallery. MCASD is located at 700 Propsect St. and is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily; closed Wednesday. The museum is free on the third Thursday of every month from 5 to 7 p.m.
Upcoming exhibits:
Quint Contemporary Art, 7547 Girard Ave., presents Adam Belt: Longview, a solo exhibition of sculptural and installation work by Adam Belt. The exhibition opens on Saturday, Sept. 14 with a public reception from 6 to 8 p.m., and the artist will be in attendance.
The La Jolla Art Association Gallery, 8100 Paseo del Ocaso, opens its new exhibit, "It's a Mod, Mod World" with a reception on Sunday, Sept. 15 from 5 to 7 p.m.
The exhibit, which features modern art, runs through Sept. 20. The reception will feature art, plus poetry by self-described beat poet Chris Vannoy.
R.B. Stevenson Gallery, 7661 Girard Ave., Suite 201, presents San Diego artist Richard Allen Morris' exhibit, "Quick Draw," a collection of drawings, from Sept. 14 through Oct. 19. An opening reception for the artist will take place Saturday, Sept. 14 from 5 to 8 p.m.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines Co., two big, loyal Boeing customers, grounded all of their 787 Dreamliners Wednesday following yet another disturbing problem with the new aircraft.
The latest episode involved an ANA 9202, -0.54% flight from Tokyo, which made an emergency landing in western Japan after a battery warning light went off and the crew smelled smoke.
Just last week, an auxiliary power pack caught fire on a JAL 9201, -0.52% 787 while it was on the ground at Boston's Logan airport.
The total number of 787s now grounded is 24, 17 operated by ANA and seven by JAL. That's almost half of the 49 Dreamliners Boeing has so far delivered. There are at least another 848 on order from commercial airlines around the world.
This is obviously bad news for Boeing BA, -1.65% Its stock fell more than 3% at the open Wednesday. Goldman Sachs analysts, citing this latest setback, cut their Boeing share price target to $90 from $98 and dropped it from their "conviction buy list, citing possible production delays. Read about Wall Street's growing concerns with the Dreamliner
Air India and United Airlines UAL, +0.30% so far have announced no plans to ground their 787s, and LOT Polish Airlines airline is reportedly pushing ahead with plans to inaugurate 787 service Wednesday between Chicago and Warsaw.
But clearly, damage has been done. A pattern of problems exists, and investors cannot shrug it off as merely routine teething problems with a new aircraft, not when half of the existing fleet is out of service until further notice and Boeing's entire 787 program is under review by the Federal Aviation Administration.
Boeing, meanwhile, is trying to exude confidence. It has no choice.
On Friday, right after the FAA opened its review, Boeing CEO Jim McNerney issued the following statement: "We look forward to participating in the joint review with the FAA, and we believe it will underscore our confidence, and the confidence of our customers and the traveling public, in the reliability, safety and performance of the innovative, new 787 Dreamliner." Read McNearney's full statement.
Company executives might be able to underscore their own confidence, but they certainly can't speak for the public. Video of paying passengers sliding down the chutes of a brand new 787 at a regional airport in western Japan doesn't exactly bolster confidence. Watch evacuation the video.
Will it mean canceled orders? Hard to say, but the possibility increases with every new mishap.
Meanwhile, it's important to keep things in perspective. No 787s have crashed. No one has died on a 787. Flight crews and ground crews have managed to cope with every malfunction so far.
But people aren't blind to what's happening, and airlines must have answers for passengers anxious about the Dreamliner's safety.
Boeing's future rests in large part on its huge backlog of 787 orders and its knowledge that the Dreamliner neatly fits many airlines' needs to renew or expand their existing fleets. But that all crumbles if the flying public isn't on board.
