- Stuttgart have only conceded two goals in total in their last five league games.

1. FC Nürnberg - FC Bayern München
- Bayern are unbeaten against Nürnberg in eight games in all competitions (W5, D3).
- However, Bayern's last away win at Nürnberg came over six years ago, when the Munich giants beat FCN 2-1 on the road in September 2005. They have won none of their last four visits to the Easycredit-Stadion since then (D3, L1). Against no other current BL side have FCB gone that long without an away win.
- The last time Bayern had netted as many goals after 27 games in a BL season as they have in this campaign (66) was back in 1987-88 when they had scored two more goals (68) and accrued the same number of points (57, adjusted to three-points rule).
- Only once in their BL history have the Munich-based side conceded fewer goals 27 games into the season than they have this term (18, same as 2002-03): In 2007-08 they had only shipped 21 goals at the same point of the campaign and ended up setting a new BL record for the fewest goals conceded in a single season (21).
- Nürnberg have lost their last three games on the trot and have seen their cushion over the teams in the relegation zone shrink from nine to four points during that period.
- Bayern have won their last three league games on the bounce, scoring a total of 15 goals in the process.
- Only league-leaders Dortmund (17) have conceded fewer goals than Bayern (18, same as Gladbach).
- This game will see the team with the most goals (Bayern, 66) take on the team with the second-fewest goals scored (Nürnberg, 25).
- FCN gaffer Dieter Hecking made his BL debut as a player under the tutelage of current Bayern manager Jupp Heynckes who subbed him on in a 2-0 defeat for Gladbach against Düsseldorf in November 1984, when he was with Gladbach.
- Thomas Müller could feature in his 100th top-flight game, while his teammate Philipp Lahm is set to make his 200th BL appearance for Bayern Munich.

The only Royal Blue ever to net more goals in a single BL season was Klaus Fischer who posted 24 goals in 1975-76 and 29 goals in 1976-77.
- Full-back Chrisitian Fuchs has already registered his seventh assist of the season (against Leverkusen last weekend). The only other defender to provide as many assists this term is Dortmund's Lukasz Piszczek.
- S04 goal-keeper Timo Hildebrand plied his trade with Hoffenheim between January 2009 and the summer of 2010, making 38 BL appearances for 1899 in the process. His teammate Chinedu Obasi joined Schalke on loan from Hoffenheim during the winter break.

I've read the Millennials are the color-blind generation, and it's always bothered me a bit. To be honest, I was hoping that I not be the person to break the bad news to my kids why this optimism is misplaced.
Millennials, as a whole, feel that colorblindness is something to strive toward, yet they believe in "celebrating diversity" within their "post-racial" generation. According to research compiled by MTV for a public affairs campaign to address bias, entitled "Look Different," millennials believe they are more tolerant and diverse, profess a deeper commitment to equality and fairness, and are less afflicted with "different treatment" than previous generations. Latinpost.com
There really is no point to this post – like most of my posts here. Yet another LOL-oh-so-hilarious irony that's so sharp it cuts. Let me rewind a bit.
Scene: Dinner table
Cast: My family of four. Me. Husband. The two boys.
The subject of homecoming dance came up, well, because we have a 16-year-old. My 11 year old on a lark asked, "Hey, dad, who did you go to homecoming with?"
I laughed. "He went with Auntie Phuong."
"It's not Auntie Mai Phuong that we see every Christmas. It's Auntie Phuong whom you probably don't remember." Husb added.
My 11 year old who would have chosen the faction of Candor if we lived in the Divergent universe blurted out with a "gotcha" smirk, "So, you have a thing for Asian women."
The air froze around me. Or was it instead getting hot? Everything around me simply paused. The voices were coming from far away. I was pulled away from the set but also immediately thrown back down to earth violently.
I sucked in my upper lip and my nostrils might have flared. With my eyes shut tight, I took a deep breath.
I think I am going to lose my shit.
"So…" I decided that I could not let this slide. Isn't it part of our job as liberal, feminist, culturally and politically conscientious moms to take full advantage of teaching moments such as this?
"So. You're suggesting that Dad went out with me not because of anything special about me as a person, but because I am Asian first and foremost?"
I think I am losing this. Look at those blank stares. They, both of them, don't get it.
16-year-old being the diplomat that he is [Thank you Model UN!] stepped in, trying to broker a peace treaty, "Mom. I think you're overreacting."
I was ashamed. What kind of sane mother ruins a great family dinner by reacting so vehemently to her child's innocent remarks? I stepped away from the table with resignation.
"Liberal, feminist, culturally and politically conscientious mom lost her shit when child spouted an honest, possibly innocent, observation that unfortunately harkened back to unequal racial dynamics and power relations"
The easier route would have been to let it go. But we never take the easier route, do we? So I marched the three steps back to the table, going in for the second round.
"No. I am not overreacting. That's what we're told every time we call out racist statements or behaviors. Oh you're overreacting. It's just a joke. Don't take it too seriously. You should learn to take a joke. No. Not any more."
Again, bless his heart, my 16 year old came to his brother's defense, "That's not a racist thing to say. It's just an attribute. It's no different than saying someone has a preference…"
I stopped dead right there.
I don't think I am cut out for this. Fuck all these theories, post-colonial, performative, race and ethnicity, feminist, blah blah blah, they are useless when it comes to parenting. Useless when it comes to parenting this generation of kids.
This generation of suburban kids who were brought up to be "color blind" by TV programs, YouTube videos, and Tumblr memes and GIFs are ignorantly and blissfully blind to racism. They simply do not believe in racism. And by not believing in racism, they believe that racism does not exist.
It's like reverse Tinker Bell.
"We don't believe!" Kids to racism.
Racism, "I am getting weak. I am dying."
Poof. Racism gone. Dead.
[Scene. Lights up. Back to reality]
They think that people like me who cannot let "race" go are the problem. "Why does everything have to be about race?"
Believe me. I wish I were oblivious too, kids.

Healthy & Quick Toddler Snacks
Coming up with healthy snack options for Berlin is a never ending quest in our home. Seeing as she eats non-stop, I have to be prepared to feed her around the clock. I whole heartedly believe in the grazing mentality for a child; allowing them to eat as they please, and eat several small portions, rather than sit down to a full meal. I trust a child's natural intuition to eat when they are hungry, and its our job to provide them nutritious food options. But as easy as it sounds, its not so easy to come up with healthy options when your toddler is suddenly demanding food, or when you are busy out and about running errands. While the simple solution is to reach for a box of crackers or cheddar bunnies (believe me, I know!), its not providing our active toddler with the nutrients they need to sustain their ever so rapidly growing little bodies and brains.
I was recently in this snack snack rut; it was bananas, yogurt, and cheese for every meal. So I sat down and jotted a quick list of all my snack ideas so I could be better prepared. I have found it most helpful to review the list and prep her snacks in the evening. Then there is no full on toddler meltdown the next day when hunger strikes. It means less tantrums from her and fewer times being caught off guard for me. All in all, it has made our days go smoother.
Here is a roundup of my latest snack list. Please feel free to jump in and add your favorites, always loving to hear new ideas!
Apple Pizzas: Core an apple, slice, and top with almond butter and toppings of choice (granola, coconut flakes, slivered nuts, goji berries…)
Roasted fruit: top fruit of choice (peaches, plums bananas…) with butter and honey and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, top with yogurt and nuts
Steamed Veggies: boil an inch of water in a small pan, add veggies and steam for 5 minutes, top with butter and unsalted Herbamare
Ants on a log: cut celery sticks in half and top with sunflower butter and raisins
Veggie chips: slice any veggie (kale, carrots, sweet potatoes or zucchini) into thin slices, top with olive oil and parmesan cheese, and bake for approx 15 mins at 350 degrees
Frozen banana: dip banana in yogurt, roll in ground flax seed or blended walnuts and freeze
Almond butter banana: spread almond butter on banana and sprinkle with coconut flakes
Tomato surprise: slice cherry tomato in half, fill with cream cheese and top with small slice of avocado
Fruit skewers: alternate fruit with cheese on a wooden skewer
Frozen yogurt: mix yogurt with flax or chia or drizzle with honey and freeze (I freeze in reusable toddler snack packs)
Canned salmon topped with avocado (buy only wild Alaskan canned salmon)
Boiled Eggs: great to make a batch ahead and have on hand all week
Handful of sliced, organic, raw nuts: almonds, cashews, walnuts…
Raw Seeds: pumpkin, sesame, hemp…
Fresh figs topped with goat cheese or dried figs in off-season
Dried fruits: cranberries, mango, goji berries…(use sparingly as the sugar content is high and can damage toddler teeth)
Poached chicken: boil organic chicken with some bay leaves and garlic for approx 10 minutes
Frozen homemade waffles: here is a great buckwheat spinach recipe I make for Berlin all the time
Frozen homemade pancakes
Seaweed snax
Smoothies: here is a link to one of Berlin's favs
Hopefully this list helps you prepare for your toddler's never ending hunger. Once again, please feel free to add any snacks you and your little one love.

I love these ideas! My daughter has become increasingly picky as the months have passed. She's basically only into yogurt, cheerios and peaches. She's very reluctant to try new textures, so foods like pineapple and apples she just spits out. I need to try a few of these though! Thanks for the ideas! xo
Awesome list, can't wait to try some of these with Eve!

But does anyone even use it outside of testing for 406 > responses which never come? My collection of 2 years worth of language headers says no. Of 2018 unique Accept-Language header field-values; 1532 are using q-values in a strictly sorted list 491 are not using q-values 14 are using "q=0.0". 5 are using q-values and non-qvalues without ordering the sent list (1 looks otherwise normal, teh others are using puny-codes) The 14 are also unique in being very long and having multiple entries with equal q-values. They are still without exception strictly ordered with the entries having no q-value entries first (as if q=1.0 was used for sort but omitted sending). They are also containing a number of oddities such as multiple entries for language codes with differing q-values. NP: Of those 14 odd A-L headers noted above I have UA details on 8 of them. All claim to be Firefox but the Gecko dates do not line up with other info on those versions (the 11.0 was released some years before 3.5.9 on the same OS) so the whole input is a bit suspect. The 5 cases un-ordered list have puny-code values with no q-value being listed after an otherwise normal series of languages. Like so: "en-us,en;q=0.5,x-ns1qHkbtrt8Nhv,x-ns2E1e0Nnym7b6" I have a few cases of q-value ordered list followed by wildcard "*" with no q-value. Sender obviously assuming the list is ordered. Broken down by UA, which I started ~6 months ago at Juliens suggestion I have 54289 distinct UA visiting, of which; 21756 are not sending A-L header at all 19621 unique UA are using a single language code with no q-value 12495 unique UA are using q-values as above. 8 are sending only wildcard "*" or "*/*" The remainder ~400 roughly match up with the 491 AL field-values not using q-values. Are older agents (Windows 98, NT, 2k stand out), agents sending the same language multiple times (VoilaBot variants and Safari there), or sending sub-language variants with the generic form last eg "en-GB,en", "en-US,en", "en-US,en,*" (Tablets and Mobile Safari mostly). Obviously assuming sorted lists even back into the Windows 98 ones. There are also a few bots sending exactly 2 puny-code entries. AmosReceived on Monday, 21 January 2013 01:56:51 UTC

World Alzheimer's Day, and they said to 'go purple'. No problem for me, it's my favorite color. In fact I'm wearing it right now.I hope this day will mean everything they want it to be, for them ,and for Alzheimer's Disease. This is so important, we must not lose sight of these achievements.
Being aware is so important. I never knew that until I was mugged in New York. I thought we were aware, but someone came up behind us and hit me across the knees. I went down like a bolt of lightening, and my husband chased the man. Lucky me, I'm short, so he never got to my knees, just my thighs. But it has made me aware of anyone and of everything around me.
Being aware is a good thing. Makes you think, makes you care. Makes me want to Adopt A Caregiver.
I went to a fundraiser this morning for the Henderson Hospice, a dream turned into reality.
Hopefully, my Adopt A Caregiver will also be a vision turned into a reality.
Today someone else picked up my blog and wrote about my Adopt A Caregiver program. So now there are several sites out there who have mentioned my Adopt A Caregiver.
www.genbetween.com/adopt a caregiver.
Thank you all for your good wishes, and for spreading the word and planting the seeds. I am watching them spread. It's a good feeling.
Another good feeling is my granddaughter said I would have my brochures by Wednesday. Thank you Allison for all your hard work; on the book cover, the business cards, and the bookmarks. I love you for who you are. And even that you wrote to Oprah about me and Adopt A Caregiver.
Keep love and kisses in your life. Helene

One thing you can do is use an else clause on your inner loop(s) to continue the surrounding loop. Then, following the else statement, put in a break. Then, a break in the innermost loop will cascade back to the top level. To illustrate: for i in xrange(100): for j in xrange(100): if (i,j) == (45,55): # Found a match. # Break out of the inner loop. break else: # No match was encountered in the inner loop. # Continue the outer loop. continue # The inner loop must have found a match. # So, break out of the outer loop, too. break For the above example, this gave me a not-quite-one-percent speed increase over the version using a variable. YMMV. -- CARL BANKS http://www.aerojockey.com/software "If you believe in yourself, drink your school, stay on drugs, and don't do milk, you can get work." -- Parody of Mr. T from a Robert Smigel Cartoon

Pokemon End Game RPG cAFE
14th June 2006, 7:08 PM
Here is a cafe for my newest rpg. Porygon2lover and other members help me make it look better.
14th June 2006, 9:02 PM
Uh, okay?
I'm not entirely sure if this is what you have in mind or not, but you could try the whole "Ecruteak city has sent out the call for powerful trainers to help defend it" stuff, where only those willing to stand and fight are able to make the difference and save the world?
14th June 2006, 9:41 PM
You need to say that the rumbling is an earthquake, or if it's something else.
How is the jewel going to destroy the world? You need to include why. How are the humans and Pokemon being hurt? Is it because of the quake, or what? How will the legendaries going crazy end the world? Why would they go crazy, anyways? What sort of attacks are Team Yoranzo doing? Do you actually mean the world is breaking, as in peices are actually falling apart?
I think if you answer those, you'll be fine. You just needed to add some detail. And I'm working on my sign-up now.
15th June 2006, 4:18 AM
I was thinking maybe you should bring the number of people you want in this RPG down a little, you might be dissapointed.
15th June 2006, 4:21 AM
I have changed it. If you think it needs to be better tell me on this thread.
15th June 2006, 10:36 AM
You're still using the jarring comment about "pokemon seriously/humans extremely hurt" - it would be easier just to say, "both humans and pokemon alike are suffering" or something like that.
15th June 2006, 12:28 PM
Like I said up there^I think you should change 16 people to about 10.
15th June 2006, 3:18 PM
I agree, 16 is being optimistic, you'll never get the adventure started at this rate! A compromise could be to start the RPG when you have 8-10 members, and allow for the addition of others once the RPG begins.
15th June 2006, 4:19 PM
I have a great idea!! Why dont you let squirtalking or maymaple or I to be a co. Boss or what evr its called when you own it.
15th June 2006, 4:20 PM
OK, the 3 of you are co bosses.
15th June 2006, 4:24 PM
Um....the three of us? Maybe you should just let the other two do it. Too many bosses at once could lead to a SPA-LITING HEADACH!
15th June 2006, 4:26 PM
You don't wanna do it?
15th June 2006, 6:46 PM
Well, if you're offering, I would be glad to offer my assistance to prevent the closing of this RPG!
15th June 2006, 7:24 PM
Its not that I dont want to do it, its the fact that 4 bosses are to much.
16th June 2006, 10:56 PM
Now that you've offered, I'd be happy as well to give my services.
17th June 2006, 12:07 AM
But if you ever need help I will gladly help but only if May maple or Squirtalking cant then Ill step in and give you my services as a last resort, not that Im any better.
17th June 2006, 3:48 AM
OK, Squirtleking and May Maple are cobosses and Porygon2lover is a back up boss. When will you sign up May Maple?
17th June 2006, 4:42 AM
I don't think I'll be able to get it up until tomorrow, seeing as I have to get offline in 20 minutes. But, I will get it tomorrow, today if I can.
17th June 2006, 4:52 AM
Cool. Since it seems that no one else is comin or no more problems with the fic I'll start u the RPG.
17th June 2006, 4:58 AM
Ok UYSL.......Im going to try and write a plot for your RPG so it doesnt get shut down. You dont have to use it but Im going to give you the option.
You walk outside. Once you look around you notice the damage that has acumulated over the past week or so. You have been told to stay inside because the danger is to great. You step off the last step of you once cozy, warm, fresh smelling house. You look around and you wonder why this is happaning to the world and also to you. Im sure you have lost friends and loved ones while all this started. You think to yourself that everything is going to be alright but you know its all just a big lie. You look down the street and you notice people crying and yelling. The pokemon these people have as friends, pets or battaling partners are cowering in fear for what they know is inevitable. The End of the Pokemon World. Suddenly you hear a noise. Its very faint at first but then it gets louder and louder until its not just a noise anymore. The ground starts to rumble and shake and you look down the street to see if there is another Tauros stampead. There are no stampeading pokemon so with that thought in mind you realize what it is. Its a earthquake and you think to yourself that its just going to get worse before it gets better. Hell, you think, it might not get better at all.
You suddenly remember what it was you heard on the radio. There was a new, evil team in town who calls themselves Team Yoranzo. They are more evil than Team Aqua, Magma, or Team rocket or even Team Snagem. They have taken a step past what they were doing and now they think they rule the world. Somehow the have found a way to control the Super Rare Pokemon like Kyogre and Groudon and managed to harness the power to take over the world. The earthquakes have let out highly toxic fumes that could destroy all humanity and pokemon alike. You also remember that Team Yoranzo is looking for something. Something that the news anchor said was very powerful. So powerful that it could control all the most powerful pokemon. You strain to remember what it was called. Your about to give up hope when you remember. The powerful Morto Erate. A stone that is said would drive Raquaza crazy if it was ever moved. You stop thinking for a minute as you watch a Houndoom run by with what looked like a mad cow desease look on its face. You decide to go back inside to try and wait out the horrable earthquake when a little pidgy flies by and drops a letter on the ground in front of you. You pick it up and open it. inside it is adressed to you. you look below your name and it reads...
You are a chosen one.
You and sixteen other great trainers
like you are picked out of many to help rid the
world from the evil Team Yoranzo. Sixteen trainers all with six
pokemon each. You and the others are the chosen ones and we ask you
to come to Ecruteak city because that is the only city that is protected. The Great
Latios and Latias are protecting this city with the great power they have. This is a once in a life time chance. Ho-Oh be with you.
You close the letter and right off the bat you know what you must do. With out telling anyone good bye you pack a few things and leave for the Protected city with your six pokeballs at your waist.
~~~OK, how is this? If you want to use it copy and past it onto the firts post in the sign up and erase the the old one.~~~
17th June 2006, 5:00 AM
OK, I'll put it in the real RPG once yo finish it.
17th June 2006, 5:34 AM
Im all done with the Plot.
17th June 2006, 7:11 PM
So when is this RPG gonna get started?
17th June 2006, 7:18 PM
First off, there are normally only one or two co-gamemasters. Because its possible that it will be harder for three or more to agree on a specific thing, but that is completely up to you in the end.
Second of all, co-gamemasters could easily be discussed through PM as to not spam up the thread with pointless posts.
Thirdly, do not ask when the RPG will be starting. It will start when it start and thats all you need to know.
17th June 2006, 7:26 PM
~~~Hey UYSL!! You can ether use the plot I made to re-open this or you can let me open it with some diffrences.~~~
Hey shadowfaith! could you look a couple posts before this one to evaluate the plot I have redone? I would just like to know if it needs anything else.
18th June 2006, 10:11 PM

I've seen a lot of questions lately on the forums that ask about customizing how fields display on the metadata driven DetailViews and EditViews. There are a few different ways to approach this problem, depending upon the customization you are doing and in how many different places that the change need to be made. Here's a quick overview.
- To override the display of a single field in a single location, the easiest way to do this is by adding the 'customCode' attribute to the field definition in the viewdef file that you wish to change.
- To change the display of all fields of the same type ( for example, if you wanted to change how all the relate fields displayed throughout the application ) the best choice is to make your customization in the custom/include/SugarFields/Fields/<fieldname>/ directory. Either make your customization to the EditView.tpl or DetailView.tpl, depending upon which field you wish to change. You can use this same procedure for customizing how fields display on the SearchForm or ListView as well.
- If you want to change how a single field displays throughout the application, but don't want to change the display for every field of that type in the application ( for example, you want to change how the assigned user name field appears on the Calls, Meetings, and Tasks views, but not change it across the board ) you'll want to create a new SugarField type based upon the current field type. You may also want to do this if the custom code you wish to define for the display is quite complex, and involves a lot of smarty code. To do this, you'll need to:
- Create a new directory custom/include/SugarFields/Fields/<fieldname>/, where <fieldname> is the name of your newly created field.
- Add the file SugarField<fieldname>.php, which defines the class SugarField<fieldname> that extends from the SugarField class you are looking to modify
- Add in the EditView.tpl or DetailView.tpl to customize the display of your field
- Update the 'type' field in each of field you want to change to <fieldname>, setting 'dbType' to what 'type' was previously set to.
After you make any of these customization, be sure to do a 'Quick Rebuild and Repair' so that they can take effect.

Naseeruddin Shah who is looking forward to the release of Makarand Deshpande's 'Sona Spa' that's about a special spa where sleep can be bought for a few rupees recalled the time he was deep sleep and woken up by his children. They crawled over him and the actor snapped at them an act that he regrets even today.
At an interaction event of the film the actor said, "I feel remorse for the way I reacted. They just wanted to ask me something and woke me up from my sleep. Looking back I feel I should not have lost my cool." The actor however applauded Makarand for coming up with a film that is totally out of the box. Shah joked, "Look at his hair and it does not come as surprise for the way he thinks."

I've seen the message using google groups while attempting to submit a new RFS for the latest version.

I'm replying to the "old" thread available here: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.devel.mentors/browse_frm/thread/32d30bff736b5819/e8addbd84213ce91?#e8addbd84213ce91 > OoO En ce début d'après-midi ensoleillé du samedi 26 juillet 2008, vers > > 15:59, Stefanos Harhalakis <v...@v13.gr> disait : > > I am looking for a sponsor for my package "vbackup". > > > > * Package name : vbackup > > Version : 0.1.6pre1-1 > > Upstream Author : Stefanos Harhalakis (me) > > * URL : http://www.it.teithe.gr/~v13/ > > * License : GPLv3 > > Section : admin > > It builds these (not-so-)binary packages: > > vbackup - A modular backup utility > > Hi Stefanos! > > Your GPG key is signed by nobody.

Well, that's something that I can't answer. vbackup uses xfsdump, mdadm, lvm2, postgresql-common, mysql-common etc but doesn't actually require any of them. One can have xfsdump only while another one can have postgresql-common only. I've included them as Suggests. Is this correct? Appart from those, to my knowledge, vbackup doesn't need anything non-essential. > It seems that debian/watch is not able to catch the latest version. That happened because it wasn't actually uploaded (SVN server was down). It should be OK right now. > debian/copyright says GPLv2 while COPYING says GPLv3. Most files say > GPLv2, so debian/copyright seems to be correct. Thanks for the bug report :-). My intention is to make everything available under GPLv3. I don't find this to be an urgent issue so I'll keep it for the next version. In the mean time I believe that it is acceptable to have parts of vbackup available as GPLv2. After all this is a modular backup program where every module-script can have its own license. > You should also correct those lintian warnings: > I: vbackup: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign usr/share/man/man8/vbackup.8.gz:32 > W: vbackup: doc-base-unknown-section vbackup:6 admin I believe that they are fixed since "lintian -I" doesn't produce any errors/warnings/infos and mentors.debian.net says the same thing. > Maybe you should ship a minimal configuration like saving /etc and dpkg > database.

In the 0.1.6 version I've added a configuration wizard which can create a working basic configuration.

Just typed up directions on how you guys can find me here. Had to test it several times and guess what it WORKED. Does that now quality me as tech savy. Hey had a programming class in college. It was a 5 week, 4 day per week M-Th class during the summer and I had never ever experienced a migraine headache before. Monday afternoon until Saturday morning extreme migraine. Put that sucker on pass/fail immediately.
New house rules according to the husband. I must flush the toilet in my bathroom TWICE after each use. This is to avoid the dreaded "backsplash." Wash my hands in my bathroom ONLY THREE TIMES EVERYTIME. Never wash hands in the kitchen. Only use your own kitchen utensils and when finished using them place them on the cooktop and the husband will disinfect them and wash them probably the magic number of THREE TIMES. My clothes launder separately in hot water please and like 2 pods at least. My garbage goes in my garbage can in my bedroom. Okay I can deal with this shit. I hope you are finding some humor in all of this even though this is all true and not exaggerated. 1:05 and the dreaded shot is getting closer. OH HELL.
Just remembered something at chemo. Got a cloggy throat. Just all that extra liquid going into the veins. No big issue. Just kept clearing throat which isn't too good as it may cause a slight sore throat. IMPORTANT RULE: Drink, drink drink, Pee, pee, pee, Get this poison out of me. This my friends is my new cheer. Remind me sometimes OK. Well let me use the bathroom where I will flush twice and wash three times. This journal can't be ALL SERIOUS. I have to make you laugh sometimes. And remember I don't give a rat's ass or the rat either (right Danka?)

Relative Strength Performance and Earnings Summary
Here are the top 20 performers from last week's relative strength list.
Here are the bottom 20.
There was only one stock from the earnings list reporting last week, AVAV, which reported a negative growth quarter. The quarterly update is coming up, spo I will be working on that for a couple of weeks. Last quarter I expected improvement in earnings this quarter, so I delayed a lot of deletions. Those improvements did not materialize, so this update likely will be a bloodbath of deletions.

Those movie folk. They just can't get enough of stories which poke gentle, satirical fun at the business we call show. The latest tale of Hollywood power plays and hopeless human beings is being adapted from Peter Lefcourt's novel The Deal. And it's not only notched up a star, but a co-writer to boot.
William H Macy has agreed to nab the lead as a down-on-his-luck producer who swindles a massive studio into laying down the cash for a $100 million adventure script about Benjamin Disraeli. Who, for those of you who slept through history – or are avoiding the class by reading this on the interwebs – was Prime Minister in the 1860s and then the 1870s. Which might not make him the best candidate for a high concept script, but stick with it… The leading man gets swiped and Macy's producer makes a secret deal with a studio exec to use the money allocated for the Disraeli project to make an entirely different film. It's not yet clear if Meg Ryan – who has now signed on the dotted for the movie – will play the executive, but it's a fair guess.
Macy has spent two years glad-handing every wealthy friend and contact he knows who doesn't actually work in the industry and has managed to raise the $8 million budget himself. He's also co-written the script with regular collaborator Steven Schachter, who will call the shots in South Africa this March.

Calendar of Events
Western Lake Erie
WNWO Holiday Blood Drive
Perrysburg , OH
WNWO Teams up with the American Red Cross
7th Annual Holiday Blood Drive
Toledo's WNWO is teaming up with the American Red Cross Blood Services during the holiday season. WNWO will be hosting their 7th Annual Holiday Blood Drive, December 20, 2013 from 7am-7pm at the Hilton Garden Inn at Levis Commons in Perrysburg, located at 6165 Levis Commons Blvd.
Everyone who comes to donate blood will receive a poinsettia curtsey of Hoen's Garden Center and Landscaping.
You can also enter to win a variety of great prizes and enjoy great food from area restaurants!
"We're inviting community members to set aside a little bit of time to give the gift of life during the holidays," said Tiffany Gradel, Spokesperson for the Western Lake Erie Region of the American Red Cross. "Every day, people need blood products for the care and treatment of serious diseases, trauma and accidents. That need doesn't't go away with the season. In fact, it sometimes increases."
Between busy schedules and unpredictable weather the Red Cross can experience a decrease in donations during the holiday season.
More than 39,000 pints of blood are needed daily in the United States. Donations of all blood types are needed, but type O negative is in high demand since it can be transfused to people with other blood types.
"We are very excited about working with the Red Cross again this holiday season! We know how important it is to keep blood levels up and the best way for us to help is by hosting a blood drive. We are inviting everyone to make giving blood one of their special holiday gifts this year!" says Rich Stewert, Media Operations Manager at WNWO.
Call 1-800-733-2767 to schedule a blood donation appointment. Remember your one blood donation can save up to three lives! Also you can visit redcrossblood and enter sponsor code: WNWO to make your appointment.

City finds good deal on new wrecker in Georgia
3 years ago
"I spent hours on the Internet, and Henry was on the telephone," Bridge said. They thought they would have to settle for a used wrecker with low mileage, but they kept missing the deals they found by a day or two and, in one case, by about two hours.
"I wanted to find something here in Texas," Bridge said.
But when they started branching out in their search, they hit paydirt.
What they found was a shiny, new, 2013 Ford F550, 1.5-ton, rollback rig with a 19-foot bed.
"It had everything," Bridge said. That included a winch that will pull 8,000 pounds onto the bed and a wheel lift underneath the truck that will raise up 4,000 pounds.
The truck also has four spotlights, a light bar with LED lights, chains, locks and straps.
"Everything is brand spanking new," Bridge said.
The only problem was that someone had to go to Loganville, Ga., to get the vehicle.
Muñoz and another city employee packed a couple of overnight bags, jumped into a city pickup and headed out of the state to get the wrecker.
"It was my first time to leave Texas," Muñoz said. What they saw on the trip was encouraging. They realized it actually rains in other parts of the country.
"The rain was coming down so hard at one point we had to pull off the road," Muñoz said. They could not see more than about 75 feet.
Bridge said the deal was possible because Loganville Ford buys trucks in large volumes. The final price was slightly more than the $50,000 Bridge had to spend. But it was more than worth the extra money to get a brand new truck.
Munoz said the salesman complained that it had been raining in Georgia for weeks and the folks living there had seen enough.
"I told him when we left we'd rope a couple of those clouds to take with us," Muñoz said. The salesman laughed and said the two Texans could take all the clouds they wanted.
When it came time to leave, the two city employees used the winch to pull the city pickup onto the bed, and they drove back to
Beeville in new truck style. They arrived in town late Wednesday afternoon.
Bridge said the city will use the wrecker for a variety of purposes. They will be able to bring stalled city vehicles to the garage at the equipment yard on South Jackson Street. And if they cannot make the repairs there, they will pull the broken vehicle onto the bed and take it to a shop where it can be repaired.
"We'll also use it to pick up and impound red tagged vehicles," Bridge said.
And when the city is seal coating streets and the paving crew comes across a parked vehicle and the owner is not there to move it, they will simply winch the vehicle up onto the wrecker and take it somewhere else until the paving work is completed.

Fun With Ed and Jane (The Brontë Sisters Week)
The stage is set. A soft rendition of "We Are Family" is playing in the background. Drum rolls, please! Now let's give a big round of applause for the brainy, bodacious, and brilliant Brontë sisters! Curtains! Enter the literary trio: Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë.
This week I'm going to take a look at the works of these remarkable sisters. The three Brontë sisters were exceptional writers who churned out amazing classics in their short lives. Tragically, all died before the age of forty. We start with Charlotte, born in 1816. She was, in fact, a middle child in a family of six siblings. At the ages of ten and eleven respectively, her sisters Elizabeth and Maria died from tuberculosis. This left Charlotte the eldest with brother Bramwell, Emily, and little Anne following behind her. When Anne was not quite two years old, their mother died of cancer.
All siblings were blessed with creative juices flowing through their veins. Bramwell proved to have a knack for art and became a portrait painter. After Charlotte and Emily's plan to open a school failed, they, along with Anne tried their hand at writing which had always been their hobby anyway. It was an accidental discovery on Charlotte's part that got the ball rolling. Charlotte found Emily's secret poems she had written—ones she had not seen before. She was impressed. Soon after, Anne revealed that she had also been writing on the sly. Charlotte thought, "What the hecketh, let's publisheth all our writings in one book. What have we got to lose?" The 1800s being a man's world and all, the clever sisters decided to use the male pseudonyms Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell, the first letters of their real names corresponding to the masculine pen names. The book was published at their own expense and sadly was not the runaway best seller they thought it might be. Two copies were sold (or three depending on your source). Dismal either way. But the sisters were nothing if not determined and decided to plow forward. In 1847 all three of the sisters published their own masterpieces. Anne unveiled Agnes Grey, Emily debuted Wuthering Heights, and Charlotte gave birth to Jane Eyre, which was the most successful of the three.
Just as they were still celebrating their good fortune, tragedy struck. Bramwell, who had in the meantime become an alcoholic and addicted to laudanum, succumbed to tuberculosis in September of 1848. Just three months later Emily, too, passed away from the same illness. And if that wasn't enough, five months after that Anne became the fifth victim of the dreaded disease in their family. Bramwell was thirty-one, Emily was thirty, and Anne was just twenty-nine years old.
That left Charlotte the last woman standing. She valiantly carried on and continued to write. She became a bit reclusive. Finally one man managed to win her over, and in 1854 Charlotte married Arthur Bell Nicholls. At last she had found happiness. And as a bonus helping of joy, Arthur and Charlotte were to become parents! But Brontës' lives were destined to be more tragic than a novel, and nine months into her marriage, Charlotte died of complications from her pregnancy. She was thirty-eight years old.
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë is my favorite of the Brontë Sisters' books. This book is a long saga of an orphan girl who grows up to become a governess and eventually falls in love. Throughout her challenging life, Jane overcomes as many obstacles as Wonder Woman deflects bullets. First she is abused by the aunt who took her in after her parents died. Then she's shoved off to Lowood, a school that puts boot camps to shame. Heat, proper meals, and decent clothing are luxury items. So is dignity. Jane is singled out and further humiliated in conditions that would garner lawsuits, or at the very least a book deal, in this day and age. She deserves a T-shirt that says "I Survived Lowood." Finally after eight arduous years as a student and later a teacher, she sets out on her own as governess to Adele Varens, ward of the formidable Mr. Edward Rochester. She falls in love with Mr. R., which is of course, totally inappropriate given her place in the household as well as the fact that she's kind of homely compared to his upscale friends. Will they or won't they get together—that's the question. And I'm not giving the answer. If you don't already know the story, you may find a surprise or two along the way. As I hinted at, this is a big book. I hope that won't stop you from diving into this classic. It's a good one.
"My future husband was becoming to me my whole world; and more than the world: almost my hope of heaven. He stood between me and every thought of religion, as an eclipse intervenes between man and the broad sun. I could not, in those days, see God for His creature: of whom I had made an idol."
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre (1848; reprint, Pleasantville, NY: Reader's Digest Association, Inc., 1984), 247.
Next up, Wuthering Heights—and it's a doozy.
Happy reading!

You don't need a Ph.D. to see that North Korea is gearing up to test Park Geun-Hye. The nice people at the quasi-official, Japan-based Chosun Sinbo reacted to Park's inauguration speech, in which she called on North Korea to disarm, by saying they were "unable to hide our rage." Domestically, the North has launched another series of exhausting war exercises, with soldiers forced to live days on end in tunnels, or standing guard and catching frostbite outdoors.
All of this is a reaction to Park's attempt to offer the North aid, as long as Kim Jong Un quits biting the hand that feeds his subjects.
"As part of trust-building efforts, we will first start humanitarian assistance," the official said. "Besides the aid, we are also considering what else we can do."
The government's policy on North Korea revolves around a "two-track strategy" – supporting UN sanctions against Pyongyang's provocations while pursuing trust-building policies at the same time, the official said.
"Rather than a strategy of 'sanctions first and aid later,' we're going to participate in the international push for sanctions on the regime as chair of the UN Security Council, but we'll also make moves based on mutual trust with North Korea," the official added. [Joongang Ilbo]
Separately, the Joongang Ilbo piece adds the interesting detail that under Park's predecessor, "the volume of inter-Korean trade … dropped from 289.2 billion won ($267 million) in 2007 to 14.1 billion won in 2012," despite regular reports that trade at Kaesong has continued to rise. Park suggests that this trend could be reversed, but also threatens that "[i]f North Korea stages further provocations, that would prompt stronger sanctions, which would pose a grave threat to the future of the Korean people."
It all sounds sensible enough, even if it's a little unrealistic. But while we were all distracted by Dennis Rodman, Park made one decision that really deserves some applause. Early in her administration, when most presidents would have shied away from controversial decisions, Park gave her government's active support to a long-overdue U.N. human rights inquiry, after years of South Korean silence:
South Korea's pledge Wednesday to give "active" support to the investigation comes just two days after the inauguration of President Park Geun-hye and is likely to infuriate the North, which views discussion of its human rights as a "grave violation." Seoul struggled with the decision, which forced a choice between two key goals: restoring civil relations with Pyongyang and pressing its government to improve treatment of its 24 million people.
The South's commitment, announced by Seoul's deputy foreign minister for global affairs at a U.N. Human Rights Council meeting in Geneva, is significant because the South holds influence over global policymaking regarding North Korea. With South Korea's support, the investigation is all but assured of passage when the resolution is put up for a vote this month among member states of the Human Rights Council, rights advocates say. [….]
The new U.N. inquiry would establish a panel of experts who would interview witnesses, document abuses and help formally establish whether the North's government is committing crimes against humanity. In January, Navi Pillay, the U.N. human rights chief, said in a statement that such an investigation was "long overdue," particularly because there was no sign of improvement under third-generation leader Kim Jong Eun. [Washington Post, Chico Harlan]
Separately, Yonhap notes that North Korea appears to be reducing the prisoner population in its gulag to between 80,000 and 120,000, but that this does not suggest an improvement in human rights conditions there. Unfortunately, the paywall prevents me from seeing (1) Yonhap's source for that estimate, (2) the basis for the source's conclusion, and (3) the all-important follow-up question: so what happened to the prisoners? If anyone has a subscription, I'd be much obliged for the rest of the story.
Even before Park made this fateful decision, the North had already begun the process of making her into its next Goldstein. Park will soon learn that the North doesn't do give-and-take. North Korea is a society of absolute authority and manichean struggle. If you're in charge, you demand tribute. If you're not, you pay it.

The number of scientific reasons why living creatures could not just come into existence by themselves—is astounding. Here are 30 of them. The self-origination of life is impossible! Evolutionary theory is unworkable. It is a myth. Only God could have created the plants and animals. This is science vs. evolution—a Creation-Evolution Encyclopedia, brought to you by Creation Science Facts.
This material is excerpted from the book,
Here are a few of the many problems to be solved, before sand and water could change itself into living creatures:
1: Spontaneous generation has been scientifically disproved
2: Instant success would have to be necessary for the life form to survive
3: Thousands of essential body parts and thousands more of essential chemical compounds would have to instantly form themselves
4: Both male and female forms would need to make themselves and be near each other in space and time
5: Law of mass action would immediately destroy chemical compounds
6: Water is never enough to produce life chemicals
7: There is no lab equipment out in nature
8: Condensation problem: Water must be carefully removed for fats, sugars, and nucleic acids to derive out of protein
9: Precipitation problem: Enzymes would immediately be destroyed
10: Most life chemicals not found in watery environment
11: Lightning bolts only damage and kill and could not be the energy source
12: Oxygen problem: Life could not originate where there is oxygen
13: Life could not survive without continual oxygen
14: Oxidized iron is found in rocks existing where life is said to have originated
15: Life can not originate without water. But there can be no water without oxygen
16: A reducing atmosphere (no oxygen) would produce life-killing peroxides
17: Ultraviolet light in reducing atmosphere would immediately kill life
18: Without oxygen, there would be no protective ozone layer
19: Proteins would immediately hydrolyze and destroy themselves
20: There would not be enough chemicals available to form even the simplest protein
21: Nitrogen is in most biochemicals, but there is not enough concentrated nitrogen in nature to form life
22: There is not enough available phosporus in nature either
23: Scientists have no idea how to make fatty acids or how they could make themselves
24: The atmosphere throughout the world would have to instantly change from no oxygen to its present oxygen-rich content
25: Extremely complicated chemical combinations not found in nonliving material exist in living tissue
26: Residue problem: Since such extremely rich chemical mixtures are found in living things, we should find residues of them in nature, but they do not exist
27: Accidental formations of amino acids would produce equal amounts of left- and right-handed forms which exist in animal life
28: Dissolution problem: Even if correct chemicals gather together, the next instant they would spontaneously disintegrate by forming with other chemicals
29: Immediate, complete duplication and reproduction of DNA, Protein enzymes, fats, cells, etc. would be needed for survival
30: There is not the remotest possibility life could originate by itself. There is not enough time and space in all the universe and in all eternity to product our present myriad of living species on earth

The Road Towards Reconciliation
Life is funny sometimes. Not funny
in the sense of "ha ha", but
funny in the perverse power, irony really, that Fate seems to wield.
One day you're boasting a .297 batting average in your rookie season
with a major league baseball team, engaged to a beautiful and swell
dame, and looking forward to your wedding and honeymoon "practicing"
at creating your own team of little short stops. But the next day,
you're crying in your beer as the dame refuses to give up her screwy
show business career to become your wife, starts dating your
teammate, and appears as the spokes person on the barnstorming tour
that you signed on to months earlier. The stage becomes set for more
absurdity when you slip on a tomato, tear the ligaments in your knee,
get hired and later fired as the co-star on the radio show featuring
your estranged fiancée, and told by the doctor that you'll never play
professional baseball again. Then, it's back to your dead-end job as
a bartender pouring drinks for other hopeless saps and listening to
their sad stories.
Like it isn't enough that you're one
of Fate's inconsequential pawns
that she toys with at her whim but then it seems that she decides,
maybe out of boredom, to throw more tragedies your way. Your mother
is stricken with polio and your stepfather is a Communist.
Well, "accused Communist"; he won't deny the charge because of
his "principles". How screwy is that?
What happens next?
Fate has changed her mind once more and decided
to cut you a break, let you off the hook so to speak, in the downward
spiral that she had charted for your life. That knee of yours is
getting stronger every day, courtesy of a special ointment and a lot
of prayer. Mom always said that God hears prayers even when you
think that he isn't listening. You're given another shot at baseball—
an opportunity to play in the minors for a while with the goal of
returning to the majors. And the dame? Well, she understands how
much of a fool you were breaking up with her. She agrees to marry
you instead of that ham fisted yahoo that she became entangled with
while on the rebound. It was even worth it to get socked in the eye
by the guy just to see the expression on the jerk's face when you
announced that you had reclaimed your girl. Of course, now you're
sporting quite a shiner. No matter-—at this moment, life is good.
Jeff stared out of the car window as Al drove
him towards the train
station. The young rookie felt excited and anxious, the same
emotions that he had experienced when he was about to leave for
spring training in Clearwater. This was his shot at the big leagues-
-again. He just needed to play in a couple of games for the minors,
show them what he's got, and he'd be back in the majors in no time.
The silence in the car was
deafening. Finally, Al decided that he
had enough of the quiet. "Maybe I can apply for a job as a cab
driver. I'm pretty good at this and I hear that the tips are swell."
No response from his passenger.
"Of course, I suspect that
patrons like it better when cabbies keep
their mouths shut. You know, all that talking interferes with the
important daydreaming that they're doing in the backseat."
Still silent.
about Feller's no hitter, huh? I tell you, it's going to go
down in the history books. I'll tell you something else. Baseball
will have a union someday soon. You mark my words. And the ball
players will be all the better for it." Al said.
"Says you.
Baseball doesn't need a union. The ballplayers play
because they love the game. They love the crowds. It's not about
politics." Jeff countered.
"If you believe that, then you're a sap.
It's always about politics,
kid. It's always about the working class licking management's boots
for a few crumbs. It's about the boys at the top having fat wallets
while the little guy is sweating for peanuts. And when you no longer
can feed management's wallet, they get rid of you without a by your
leave. A union exists to give the average Joe a fighting chance."
Jeff let out a wry laugh. "Always trying to drum up
support for a
union, aren't you? Just like when I first met you at the Roadhouse."
"And you're still stubborn and
resistant to change just like when I
first met you. Change doesn't always have to be bad. You don't have
to be afraid of things changing, Jeff. Change can be good. It can
be an opportunity to have a better life."
A brief silence.
that what you gave my mom, Al, a better life?" Jeff asked, a
trace of hostility in his voice.
Al pulled the car over to
the side of the road. He stopped the car
and turned off the ignition.
"I'm going to miss my train."
you want me to say that I'm sorry that I came to River Run? That
I'm sorry that I fell in love with your mother and that I married her
and we had Mike? Well, I'm not going to say that. I came to this
town because I believed more than anything that the workers needed a
union and I was going to do everything in my power to make sure that
they got one. Falling in love with Anne-I never planned that. I
never planned to get married again. I never expected to get caught
up in that crazy world that you Catholics have where you see all of
us non-Catholics as sinners determined to destroy the natural order
and where you lie but call it a mental reservation to ease your
guilty conscience. You think that I planned to fall in love with a
stubborn, exasperating woman like your mother? But I did. I love
her very much. And I'm sick and tired of having to apologize to you
because of that or because you see me as your enemy."
A brief silence.
"Look, we're not perfect, but Mom raised us to
be good Catholics.
We're not killing people or anything." Jeff paused briefly before
continuing. "And-and I don't see you as the enemy. Maybe I did
once, but I don't anymore. It's just that, well, when you came into
our lives, it seemed like everything changed. You say that change
can be good, that it can be an opportunity to have a better life, but
I didn't see where you brought that to our family. You got Linda
involved with the union and with Hank working for management; it
became World War III at our house. You started dating Mom and you and
she...the next thing we knew, Mom was going to have a baby. It
seemed that because of you, Mom sacrificed her principles and did
things that she never did before and told us not to do." There was
another brief pause as Jeff considered his next words. "And the
truth of the matter is, that I guess…I guess I never wanted to see my
mother dating anyone because no one was ever good enough for her,
except my dad. I didn't want to see Mom with anyone else except
Dad. I know that it won't make any sense to you, but that's the way
I feel and I'm not apologizing for feeling that way."
not asking you to forget your father, Jeff. I never tried to
replace him. And if I died and Anne remarried, I would hope that
Mike would remember me and remember how much I loved him. But I'd
also hope that he'd be happy that his mother found love again and
that she was happy. I would hope that he knew that his stepfather
loved him and cared about what happened to him."
No response.
"I don't want to be your father. And maybe it's
too late for this,
but I do want to be your friend, if you'll let me."
Still silent.
Al let out a frustrated sigh.
He placed the key in the ignition and
started the car. The rest of the drive, done in silence, made the
trip seem like an eternity. Finally, they had reached the train
reached for his bag that was next to him on the back
seat. "Thanks for the ride." He said.
Both men exited the
car. "Good luck. We're very proud of you." Al
said simply.
Mud green eyes stared into the eyes of his stepfather.
Jeff briefly
hesitated before he extended his hand to Al. "Thanks. Good luck to
you, too." He replied awkwardly.
Jeff began to walk away. He stopped abruptly,
rubbing his hand
across the back of his neck. Jeff turned back around. "Hey, Al?"
"I think a union for baseball would be swell."
Al smiled.
It was only a small step, but sometimes, all it takes
is an honest
conversation and willingness to bridge the gap of hostilities to lead
people on the road towards reconciliation.
The End

Hi !
I'm sorry this question has been already discussed but that's not clear to me...
How do I have to plug the HD Pro ? (I actually own a HD 500 I'm gonna sell for a Pro because of the reamping option)
I guess it works as the HD 500 : Guitar > POD SPDIF Out > RME Fireface SPDIF In (I made a lot of test, SPDIF seems to be the best sounding output)
But what next ?
Ps : I wonder why Line 6 doesn't make a damn plugin version... It would be SO MUCH easier to use !!!!
by meambobbo on 2012-09-24 11:03:50.8020
SPDIF (or one of the other non-USB digital outputs) is definitely the best way to get audio from the Pod to your DAW - no additional D/A - A/D conversions.
as far as re-amping... the pod pro does not have that built in. it has a "dry out" connection, but that's just a tap off the guitar input, similar to a passive DI box. To reamp, you would need to send a 1/4" output from your audio interface to the Pod's Guitar In.
and FYI, the Pod HD 500 is capable of sending the dry guitar signal to an audio interface via SPDIF. there's an option in the system menu to have SPDIF send the final output or the dry guitar signal.
So, the only advantage the Pro has over the HD500 here is that it has the dry out analog connection. But if you can monitor your processed signal without using SPDIF, you could record the dry signal using SPDIF, then re-amp identically to how you would on the Pro.
The information above may not be current, and you should direct questions to the current forum or review the manual.

Maria Kardamaki Robertson has eight weeks to prove herself.
Robertson, founder of Demeter's Pantry, got a big break last month when Costco tapped her line of packaged Greek meals for a two-month trial run at five of its regional stores.
"This was a rare opportunity to have daily conversations with people and get a lot of feedback," said Robertson, who lives in Silver Spring, and currently sells meals to area Whole Foods, Balducci's and Roots Market stores. "As a wholesale company, you're kind of isolated from your customers."
If all goes well in the coming weeks — Robertson has a sales target she must hit — Costco plans to stock Robertson's "The Greek Table" line of freshly prepared meals at its new location in the District, as well as at its Fairfax, Arlington, Sterling and Elkridge stores.
"We're constantly trying to find new local items," said Mary Conoboy, who works in Costco's Sterling office.
The national chain has long had regional buying offices that specialize in identifying and stocking local fare, Conoboy added.
Robertson started Demeter's Pantry in 2003 to import specialty foods such as Greek olive oil, honey and sea salt to the United States, but began noticing a growing demand for freshly prepared food that could be reheated at home.
In 2008, she created "The Greek Table" line. Robertson would not disclose sales figures, but said the company was profitable and that annual revenue was "in the tens of thousands of dollars."
Meals such as chicken stifado, a traditional stew, are cooked twice a week at a kitchen in Alexandria and are delivered to stores the next day. At Costco, two-pound trays of moussaka, a beef casserole, and roasted eggplant sell for $12.99.
"We want to give the American consumer a chance to taste Greek food the way we'd cook at home," said Robertson, 46.
But, she added, she has made one adjustment.
"We've cut down on how much olive oil we use," she said. "Greeks swim in olive oil when they make their food, and it was just too oily for many of our customers."

Miley Cyrus has bragged that she can't be tamed, but...we'll see.
Whip in hand, Liam Hemsworth (and, we assume, a host of trained professionals) showed a lion who's boss in a new ad campaign for British clothing brand Bench.
The 22-year-old Hunger Games hunk looks impressively calm in the series of photos, most of them featuring Miley's fiancé mugging with the humongous cat—which, like your average Gale Hawthorne fan, looked like he wanted to take a bite out of his costar.
Hemsworth signed up with Manchester-based Bench about three months ago and this is his debut work for the label.

On Wednesday, Hillary Clinton joined New York Governor Andrew Cuomo at LaGuardia Community College in Queens where she promoted the state's new plan to provide free college tuition to in-state students whose family makes less than $100,000 a year. The income threshold to be eligible for free tuition will increase to $125,000 in 2019. The law requires that students who take part in the program to remain residents of New York for a number of years equal to the number of years they took part in the program.
Clinton applauded the plan in brief remarks today, as well as on Twitter. Clinton said, "I am here to today to reinforce what the governor has accomplished. He is absolutely right: education and training are the future." She also said that the plan is a good framework for other states and the federal government. Clinton added, "Paying for college should not defer or destroy dreams. I'm hoping too that Congress will come to its senses and will understand we don't need to be building walls, we need to be building bridges. And the best bridge to the future is a good education."

Advocacy and Research
How Does CMHA 'Advocate'?
CMHA's goals include "ensuring the best possible care, treatment and rehabilitation of the mentally ill." In our society, "ensuring" care inevitably means influencing the Canadian political system, whose activities now affect the happiness and well being of our citizens in innumerable ways. Governments provide "essential" services like health, education, defense, communication etc. They determine laws and policies, they police or regulate activities, they finance programs, they market resources and so on. In other words, government policies have a major impact on the well being of our citizens and influencing these policies is critical to "ensuring care.".
Some of the strategies used in our advocacy role include:
- Developing positions for Board approval
- Preparing and submitting briefs
- Monitoring responses to presentations
- Liaising with government and other agencies on matters of policy and legislation
- Organizing communities for social action
- Investigating consumer complaints
- Researching public opinion and community service
- Participating in human services coalitions
- Participating on government advisory committees
- Recommending legislative improvements
SOM Surveys, Opinion Polls and Marketing conducted the survey on behalf of Desjardins Financial Security between February 12th and March 14th, 2007. In total, 1,508 interviews were conducted with a representative sample of Canadian adults. The sampling plan provides proportional estimates with a maximum margin of error of plus or minus 2.6% at a 95% confidence level (19 times out of 20). The data was statistically weighted to accurately reflect the composition of Canadians by region, gender and age based on Statistics Canada's 2001 Census information.
In 2003, CMHA/PEI Division was contracted by the Department of Health and Social Services (the department) to conduct research into the support needs of people on Prince Edward Island with severe and persistent mental illness.

HAVE you purchased tickets for the Underground Productions Amateur Theatre Company's new play to be performed on Thursday, April 19, Friday, April 20, and Saturday, April 21, at the Hampden Park Community Hall in Brodrick Road?
The entertaining comedy Ladies Who Lunch by Tudor Gates is directed by Mandy Lloyd, with Gill Ayres, Ann Young and Dee Sharpe playing the main roles. It is well worth seeing, to book call 412357 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
A TREAT this coming weekend for all art lovers - there is an exhibition of art and wood carving at the Outdoor Bowls Club in the park, on Saturday, April 21, and Sunday, April 22, from 10am to 4.30pm. More than 200 paintings covering oil, water colour and acrylics, will be on show, together with a number of fascinating wood carvings. This is part of the Eastbourne Arts and Cultural Festival 2012, and coffee and tea will be available.
WE NOW have our very own Hampden Park Royal Family! The Easter Sunday Fun Day in Hampden Park was a huge success in spite of the weather, and Jayne Brooks welcomed allto the Rugby Club to keep dry and warm. A carnival king and queen were chosen, together with a prince and princess.
Now all they need is a vehicle suitable for their regal status, to take part in the Eastbourne Carnival Procession. If any readers have a large open-topped car, or a horse and carriage, -let me know and I will pass on the details to the organisers.
Not only was the 'royal' side of the Fun Day a success, but also a massive Easter Egg Hunt (for which the rain stopped and the sun shone!) and there were Easter Bonnets in abundance, with the whole proceedings being overseen by the Easter Bunny himself, much to the delight of the many children.
THE FIRST of the new Tuesday Healthy Walks in the park was extremely well attended, and the weather was kind. This is part of the national Walking for Health programme, designed to get people of all ages and abilities to enjoy a gentle walk in pleasant surroundings.
It takes place every Tuesday, meeting at the Lakeside Cafe 11.30am and lasts an hour. Details from Paula Hubens, BTCV Healthy Walks Project Officer on 07740 899559 or go to firstname.lastname@example.com
I HAVE been asked by Eastbourne's chief librarian to give readers details of a very important survey which could affect the services many appreciate from the Hampden Park Library. The County Council has put out a survey to discover the opinions of residents regarding how local libraries are run, and how they could possibly be improved. This survey can be done on line, at www.eastsussex.gov.uk or you can pick up a paper copy at Hampden Park Library. It takes less than ten minutes to complete, and your input is vital for the future of local Libraries.
HAVE YOU started to titivate your front garden ready for the Hampden Park in Bloom Best Front Garden competition this summer? The chairman informs me several entries have already come in, and anyone who still requires an entry form can obtain one from the Hampden Park Community Centre in Brodrick Road, the Hampden Park Library or from 66 Attfield Walk. Judging will take place in late July and early August.
A Hampden Park reader says her husband received a phone call purporting to be from a computer company, telling him there was a fault with his computer. This is a scam which has reared its head before, and the caller attempts to get personal details from you.
The reader quickly hung up and rang the police on 101, who were pleased to receive the information. Please be aware of this scam, and alert your friends and neighbours.
