A restaurant price war nobody's winning
Red Lobster and Olive Garden lose profits as competitors' 2-for-$20 meal deals present an industrywide problem.
Red Lobster and Olive Garden parent company Darden Restaurants (DRI) just watched the casual dining price wars eat more than a third of its profits.
Earlier this month, Darden issued a warning about second-quarter profits after acknowledging that Superstorm Sandy, comments the company made about Obamacare and, most importantly, bad meal promotions were sinking sales.
On Thursday, Darden revealed that sales at its U.S. restaurants open at least a year fell 2.7% for its three biggest chains last quarter. That included a 3.2% drop at Olive Garden, a 2.7% decline at Red Lobster and a 0.8% slump at LongHorn Steakhouse.
Overall net income fell 37% last quarter as a result and served as a warning to other restaurants lowering the bar on price. Olive Garden misjudged consumer appetites by offering a 2-for-$25 three-course meal deal last quarter when competitors including DineEquity's (DINE) Applebee's, Brinker Restaurants' (EAT) Chili's and Bloomin' Brands' (BLMN) Outback Steakhouse offered 2-for-$20 meal deals or $10 entrees.
All of those restaurants could end up paying for Darden's mistake, however, as industry analyst Howard Penney tweeted Thursday:
Memo to Casual Dining investors: $DRI declared a price war - "nobody wins in a nuclear war"
Darden went through a whole lot of effort to lose that much money. It just overhauled menus and restaurants at Red Lobster and Olive Garden and attempted to change the low-cost culture of each establishment. Red Lobster, known for its all-you-can-eat seafood specials, increased chicken and beef items from 8% of the menu to nearly a quarter of its offerings. Olive Garden, meanwhile, shifted the focus away from unlimited breadsticks and pasta to "lighter" fare with fewer than 600 calories.
While Darden's relatively robust performance during the recession gave it room to make such moves, its competitors' recovery made their price drops possible. Even with recent gains, the casual dining industry still isn't study enough to keep the bar that low. According to the Census Bureau, spending at food service and drinking establishments is up 7.2% so far this year. At casual dining establishment, however, spending fell 2% last quarter and has dropped between 1% and 4% each quarter since spring of 2010.
When such restaurants aren't offering $10 meal promotions, the paying public doesn't find them all that cheap. The cost of dining out rose 2.7% over the last year, according to the Consumer Price Index, which puts it ahead of the 2.2% overall rate of inflation. Under those circumstances, a customer paying $10 for a promotional deal will pay 20% to 40% more when the price rises to $12 or $14 a few months from now. Even if those prices remain in place, they don't guarantee customers will stay.
"What happens is that after [value promotions] have been in place for a while, consumers no longer perceive them to be a deal," said Bonnie Riggs, restaurant-industry analyst at NPD Group, told AdAge when Darden issued its warning earlier this month.
While Darden's competitors haven't suffered the same losses, their gains from low-price promotions haven't been great. Sales at Brinker are up 2.7%. DineEquity has seen Applebee's same-restaurant sales rise 1.3% this year, only to be balanced by a 1.3% decline at its breakfast-focused chain IHOP. It's been a somewhat better story for Bloomin' Brands, with sales at Outback, Carraba's Italian, Bonefish Grill and Flemings Steakhouse 3.6% last quarter.
Casual dining's biggest success story, however, had nothing to do with promotions or tweaks to a chain's family friendliness. Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD) rode a combination of football, beer, big TVs, and chicken smothered in spicy sauce to an average 6% sales increase last quarter.
Darden says it will revise its promotions calendar to get profits flowing again, but even the menu may not be off limits as the company backtracks on some of its decisions. Earlier this month, Darden said it won't bump any workers from full-time to part-time to deal with rising costs as Obamacare is implemented. Starting in 2014, large companies must offer health insurance to full-time workers, and as a result Darden was testing the use of more part-time employees. The company was criticized for the move, and said that employee and customer satisfaction declined at restaurants where the tests took place, the Associated Press reported.
That's fine, but Darden and its competitors need to make customers see the value in the service and product they're offering. Without that, casual dining becomes a collage of different strip-mall logos for the same faceless fare.
It is a fine line between quality and profits in a restuarant business and always has been. The local guy opens up, because he is a great chef, but doesnt understand portion control or per ticket average like the big out of town corps, and falls on his face with a bk and a nice try. All the inspections and health department regs work for the big corporations with big coffers but the small guy is forced to buy the same equipment and cant afford the education of the aboved mentioned
Maybe 3 courses for $10 bucks...May garner more business??
But the food and service has to be excellent also...Otherwise we can eat at home.
We are serving a 10 pound,"choice" Prime Rib, for Christmas, we do it every year..
So why the hell would we go to a restaurant to get inferior meat at a higher price.??

Q&A: 3 stocks rising on earnings revisions
In this interview, a top advisor shares how this strategy can spot breakout stocks earlier than usual.
Upside earnings revisions, along with some technical indicators, are how advisor Mike McGervey determines portfolio investments. He shares details about his method with MoneyShow.com, and discusses three current holdings.
Kate Stalter: I'm speaking today with Mike McGervey of McGervey Wealth Management.
Mike, one of the metrics you use is earnings revisions on individual stocks, taking a bottom-up approach. Tell us a little bit about what you're seeing.
Mike McGervey: Sure, Kate. Upward revisions to estimated earnings are a great predictor of future price for us. What we see in revisions to the upside is, many times, they're precursors to positive earnings surprises.
Positive earnings surprises are not only felt immediately, as I'm sure as you may know, but the effects of a positive earnings surprise can last well up to a year. Oftentimes, they're followed by more earnings surprises, for example.
And as a result of this, it puts us in a position to build a solid book of stocks, if you will, that we can then filter fundamentally, take it a step further. And even as great as these securities may be, we can then utilize technical analysis to enhance the timing of our buy decisions, and conversely, to provide a sell-side discipline on the downside.
Kate Stalter: You just mentioned some of the technical indicators. Which ones do you track, and what are they showing you these days?
Mike McGervey: We use a variety of different things. Moving averages at the very basic level. Relative strength index is very helpful. Even using S&P yields to some extent. And some other crossovers can be very helpful.
From a bottom-up approach, one of the reasons we do look at revisions to the upside is: At a basic level, positive earnings surprises oftentimes occur when actual reported earnings are above the forecasted earnings per share, and what we see is stock prices of firms that have perhaps more significant earning surprises show above-average performance. And as I mentioned earlier, the surprises can have a longer-term impact on these securities.
Kate Stalter: Do you include the outlook in the earnings surprise? Because that seems to be also a factor that can propel a stock either up or down.
Mike McGervey: Sure, and one of the things that I would mention about the outlook is the market is very forward-looking, as you know, and prices are really established through consensus expectations for earnings.
And I know we've been talking quite a bit about earnings surprises. One of the things that we look for that sometimes gives us a precursor to earnings surprises is actually revisions of the estimates to the upside.
When we see significant revisions to the upside, that's an indication to us that many analysts are -- use the word, "scrambling," perhaps -- to change consensus estimates when there's anticipation of a big surprise. So a lot of times, it'll give us a little more advance notice.
Kate Stalter: Can you give us some specific examples, then, over the last few weeks or months, of stocks that have met some of your criteria, technically and fundamentally?
Mike McGervey: Well, you know, several holdings have met the criterion, and they also meet the technical criteria as well.
One is Genesco (GCO). That's a retail apparel group, and what we see in them is they not only meet the upside revisions, but they also have great fundamentals.
Retail apparel is also in the top 20% of industry groups, so there's other fundamental factors that go along with them as well. Plus, they meet the technical criteria.
Sunoco Logistics (SXL) is another one. They also have a nice dividend, somewhere north of 4%, which not only helps price appreciation, but it's a little something in addition. It's perhaps a little more recession-resistant than others. Group 1 Automotive (GPI) would be another example of that.
What I would say is: The technical piece, by utilizing the analysis to enhance the timing of buy decisions, and obviously to provide that sell-side discipline on the downside, is really critical. And we recognize that clients today want to dynamically manage risk within their portfolio, while still being able to add value when the market conditions permit.
And certainly, if you look over the last 12 years, there have been great times where you could make money. But by doing this dynamically, that certainly would put us in a position where we would be able to protect against a lot of the downside and some of the more significant declines.
The way I look at it, this disciplined approach helps us ensure that the investment decisions we make are based on solid reasoning. They're not based on emotional reactions. And we've eliminated a lot of client anxiety from this, as they know that we're proactively responding to what the market is actually doing, versus speculating on where it might be headed.

The announcement that CBS again will televise the Georgia-Florida game this season with a 3:30 p.m. kickoff surprised no one, I'm sure. CBS loves that game and has aired it every year since 2003. It would have been news had they not chosen to televise it.
The annual meeting of the Bulldogs and Gators in Jacksonville and all the fan hoopla that surrounds it is rightfully viewed as one of those colorful traditional rivalry spectacles that makes college football worth watching, even if you aren't a particular fan of either school.
Which is perhaps one of the best arguments for keeping the game in Jacksonville. Sure, it helps that Florida and Georgia are usually battling for the SEC East title, but that's not what has elevated this game to the level of Oklahoma-Texas or USC-Notre Dame over the years.
No, it's the celebratory aspect of what the school presidents would prefer you not call the World's Greatest Outdoor Cocktail Party that makes this a special game. And I'm not talking about the drinking (though I will say that even if Florida's prez was successful in getting the number of alcohol-serving establishments around the stadium reduced, it probably wouldn't cut back on the number of folks getting blitzed; it would just mean more business for the bars that were open or more people bringing their own).
What elevates this game is the way Georgia students and fans turn a trip to Jacksonville into a fall beach vacation. It's the elaborate tailgating and partying. It's the 50-50 split of the crowd inside the stadium. It's the setting by the St. Johns River.
Yes, I agree with Mark Richt that Jacksonville isn't really a "neutral" site, but that never seemed to matter during the Dooley years domination of the series by the Dogs. Yes, Jacksonville is overpriced and the traffic is terrible. And, yes, Georgia-Florida held every fourth year at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta or even on a home-and-home basis in Athens and Gainesville still would be a major SEC matchup every year.
But would it be a lock for a national television slot? Would it garner the national attention that it does in Jacksonville? Would thousands of Bulldogs and Gators fans really flock to Atlanta a week before the game? Can you see the fans really tailgating at the same level in the the railroad gulch around the Georgia Dome? Would Georgia-Florida outside of Jacksonville remain one of the marquee games of the college football season?
I'm not so sure.

The only big thing in Jacksonville is the score differential by which Florida beats Georgia almost every year. The score differential might not be big this year. It might be enormous. So much so that the game might finally become home and home, which it should.

But would it be a lock for a national television slot? yes, most of FL's games are televised
Would it garner the national attention that it does in Jacksonville? no
Would thousands of Bulldogs and Gators fans really flock to Atlanta a week before the game? hell no, to do what? hang out at the world congress center?
Can you see the fans really tailgating at the same level in the the railroad gulch around the Georgia Dome? NO! Tailgating around the dome is non-existent.
Would Georgia-Florida outside of Jacksonville remain one of the marquee games of the college football season? sure, people will always watch the Gators

The fact is, Jacksonville is at least as much Dawg territory as it is the Gators' as far as the indigenous fan base. Dooley knew this and dominated. Richt is doing himself and his team no favors by being scared of playing in Jacksonville. Win, make it your own like Dooley did, and then you'll enjoy having the game in Jacksonville, Richt. What one man (Dooley) can do, another man can do.

Cuz: This topic is boring. I – like you – attend SSI and Jax every year and enjoy the bigger picture, so we think it should stay there. Those who wish they could go – but can't – want it somewhere else. Loved the '70s and '80s when we were charmed; '90s and '00s, not so much. Location isn't the issue, and most of us Dawgs know that.

Do Georgia fans really enjoy driving for 5-6 hours, pay inflated 3 night minium hotel rates, pay
current gas prices to go to Jax, while Florida fans make the one hour drive back to G'ville after
the game? "Neutral Jacksonville"…come on. "Neutral Atlanta"…come on.
College football belongs on college campuses..Athens and Gainesville would be electric if that
game went home and home…and CBS would love it.

right now we could play it anywhere and be unhappy because we have been the proverbial tackling dummy for about 20 years.it's not jax but our psyche that is the problem in this series. our team/coach need to toughen up and develop an attitude of we can beat yall anywhere,anyplace, anytime. but instead we blame location of the game rather than our own shortcomings. GATA in jax,fayetteville,stillwater,nashville,knoxville,atlanta, and Athens and restore order in the bulldog nation!

2 comments on why I think the game stays in Jax:
1.) Cash. Both schools make more money over a 4 year period in Jax than they would on a 4 year home and home. The City of jacksonville will sweeten the deal this year, I am sure.
2.) A smaller venue (Georgia Dome) means each school will get 4500 less tickets to the game. Neither AD wants to deal with that backlash.
do you really think people will show up in Atlanta on the Tuesday before this game. Going to Atlanta isn't concidered a "vacation destination" for the folks that live in the State.

The site doesn't get you beat, the other teams players gets you beat.I don't have a problem with Jax, and I don't have a problem with home and home. If they go to home and home they should still split the tix half and half because that is what makes the game special, not the field not the town it's the fans that make it fun.

The one advantage that Georgia had playing in Jacksonville that went away when Spurrier took over in Gainesville is rarely mentioned. Prior to 1990, the Gators home field in Gainesville was astroturf. The Gator Bowl in Jacksonville was natural. Dawgs were accustomed to the natural grass (Sanford Stadium), whereas the Gators had to make an adjustment from playing on the fake turf. That was probably the only "home field" advantage that the Dawgs ever enjoyed in Jacksonville.
Another factor that contributed and still contributes to who wins this game is scheduling. In the Dooley years, Georgia typically had an off week or a patsy prior to the annual game in Jax. The Gators normally played Auburn the week before. Since the expansion of the SEC in 1992, Florida has done a better job of scheduling either an off week or an easier opponent prior to the game in Jacksonville. 2007 Georgia had an off week prior to the game and won. 2008 Georgia played at LSU the prior week and got hammered by Florida. 2009 Georgia has an off week prior to the Florida game, while the Gators travel to Starkeville the week prior. 2010 Gators have an off week and the Dawgs host Arkansas on the week prior. Just something to chew on.

This is probably the 6th one since the spring between Tony Barnhart, Bill King, and the UGA beat writer.

In south Georgia the game in Jaxsonville is a very big deal. On Wednesday before the game autos begin passing by flying their flags and really picks up as the game draws nearer. On the Sunday after the game they begin their journey back to north Georgia, but usually with the flags fying only after a victory(not true for all Dawg fans). UGA can and will win in Jaxsonville as this these games has always been one that runs in streaks. Do not listen to Atlanta and move this game from Jaxsonville.

None of our road games are "neutral" either, but our road record is phenomenal. It's not the site; it's the good work UF's coaches have done. The buy week is the biggest advantage.
This game is like a second bowl game, but better. Better attended, better looking, and better weather. Even though Saint Tebow and the crew look good this year, I will happily make the pilgrimage. GO DAWGS.

I don't own a Kevlar vest so I wouldn't go to Atlanta to see the game. There is no place to tailgate and the dome is a lousy place to see a game, any game. Keep it in Jax so we can all enjoy the beaches, golf, fishing, and a great place to party.

Apparently Jax is irrelevant. UGA has the record over the years…46–38–2 & have outscored Florida

Playing in Jacksonville makes perfect sense– if you are a Gator. For Georgia– it musters all the intelligence of a banana slug– to keep playing there. Damon Evans should have ended this by now. Play them home and away, not– away and away. Go play golf and get drunk on your own time!

Like most things in life $$$ will make the ultimate call. The game is not leaving Jax for 2 reasons:
1. There is a LOT of UGA contribution money in and around St. Simons. Last time there was serious discussion, several donors made it clear that if the game left Jax, their money would leave UGA.
2. with the 50/50 split each school gets aprox. 35,000 tix or so, if it goes to a home and home the visiting school would only get an allotment of around 10,000 tix, that means every other year 25,000 season ticket holders at each school would be denied tickets to the game. When Dooley was still AD he addressed this point at a GA/FL meeting that he spoke at in Jax. He mentioned that at that level a signifigant portion of the folks that would not get tickets are at the 10K ANNUAL donation level or above and neither school wants the headache of telling any donor at that level that he/she won't be able to purchase a ticket to the game. With the current state of the economy it's definitely not a good time to tick off donors.
I've said it before, I firmly believe all of the talk of moving the game is a negotiation tactic by Damon to strengthen his position as they negotiate the next contract. It's like buying a house or a car you never let the seller know how bad you want it, you look for reasons not to buy it to put yourself in a stronger negotiating position.
The game will remain in Jax, so everyone should just relax or get over it depending on which side of the fence you're on.

I think I have read this same blog and the exact same responses 10 times now.
Leave it in J'ville. We need to play some game in Florida to help recruiting there and I would sure rather it be the WLOCP than the Citrus bowl every year (Can you spell Citrus without USC?).
Mostly we need to keep the fat cats that pay the players salaries happy…and those people like golfing down there every year.
The more we talk about where the game is played, the bigger deal it becomes. The bigger deal it becomes, the more tempted a reporter will be to as Richt about it, which increases the likelihood he answers and has that answer blown even further out of proportion.
So SHUT UP about where the game is played already. Can't we talk about how much we look forward to seeing this year's team? Let's find a way to show them that we beleive in them instead of complaining about the location of the damned game.

As long as both teams are always in the talk for National Contention than yes. Actually, let's face it, these are two great teams in the SEC and it is probably the second biggest rivalry in the conference. So I think it's safe to say that the game will always be nationally televised no matter where it is played.
I do think that if they move it away from Jacksonville, then they should find a way for it to have the same excitement and pagaentry. that it has always had in Jacksonville

Hey Island Dog and Too Easy,
I'm a network television camera op…been doing the UF-UGA game since 1989, along with football
games all over the SEC for twenty years…my "sports bar" is running the low end zone camera,

Again, college football belongs on college campuses. And, Sanford Stadium and the G-Dome
are very television friendly:)

Speaking of the locations in terms of geography, Jacksonville is the closest u will get when it comes to a neutral site. Despite the fact that the game is played in North Florida, Jacksonville is approx only 17 miles from the Ga-Fla border on I-95. That is not very far when u are on the road. This game is more than a game it is a tradition, an institution. Sometime u have to leave well enough alone. If it is not broken there is no reason to fix it. This venue is as good as it will ever get.
July 8th, 2009
3:17 pm
Hell no. Why move the game? College football is supposed to be about traditions. See? Yes, winning is huge. Tradition is far more important. right now, unfortunately the tradition is to lose far more than our share. Easy to change that.
My dad's side are all U of F folks. They cannot help it, they are long, long time Floridians. Many of them played for the Gators and one cousin played on the 1960s S Spurrier teams. I grew up in Atlanta and attended UGA as did my sister and tons of my Georgia side family but with one brother a Seminole. Go figure.
If UGA wins two of the next 3,4 or 5 games, then over the last 10 years, it would be nearly 50/50 going to back to 2004.
Win in JAX AND WE HAVE NO ISSUES. FUN TRIP IT IS.

I don't golf and I don't saltwater fish. But the live oaks and the Pier at Mallory are an attraction that cannot be beat in late Fall. Oh and there is a football game an hour and a half away.

I like the game in Jax, but I think it's original intentions were to showcase two teams in a larger stadium than what both campuses had. Now that UGA and UF seat 90+, going to Jax is not as great as it looks. I'm all for not having to travel to Jax to see the Dawgs play, but lest we forget we dominated the series from the 70's-80's, so much so the overal series is still somewhat lopsided to the Dogs. I just do NOT want any UF fan ever having the pleasure of watching the Gators win in Athens ever again. I was at UGA when they last visited and put up 50+ points. Actually, I don't want any Gator fans having the "privelage" of watching the Gators play in Athens.
Do keep it in Jax, don't bring it to the Dome. That would really stink. The Dome is not a place for this game. This game is for tailgating. Next thing we know, "underground" will be promoting itself as the place to tailgate for GA/FL. Think about it.

I just had to laugh when I read the Prez of Urban nation wanted to cut down on SHOTS at the landing….I guess he needs to ride up to St. Simons also and see if he can control that beach also. Folks, it is what it is…a large college game, on a national stage….and I have said before State of Georgia residents, I do not want to give up the sales tax every other year. When you get your tax bill this year think of the GAME…haha…jdawg

I am from SSI and request that only intelligent, mature UGA students come down for the GA-FL game this year. Please keep the illiterate, red-neck ones in Athens or Atl. You really embarrased the school last year with your behavior. Otherwise move the game to the concrete jungle of Atl. and leave our beaches. And yes, I'm a graduate of UGA.

The whole argument about the location of the Georgia-Florida game is as silly as it is senseless by some who "claim" to be Georgia fans. The case for moving it out of Jacksonville on the part of some "so called" Georgia fans, is embarassing and rather pathetic.
It appears to me, as a wise and seasoned Georgia alum, and native Georgian who is virtually always right, that there are two groups who "claim" to be Georgia fans that continually insist the game be moved from Jax, 1) the ones can't get tickets nor time off to go to the game, 2) the transplants from up North who have absolutely no regard for a 76 yr old tradition we've enjoyed for many years prior to their arrival in Metro Atlanta. Late October at the Beach, a Georgia Bulldog Tradition worth honoring and preserving.
The game is just fine being played in Jacksonville, the only thing missing is our side winning more often.

Any truth to the rumor the UF Prez is going to have Gideons handing out New Testaments at the gates so he can change the name to the "World's Largest Outdoor Tent Revival:? And where is he going to find a tent that big?

Americans Say US Should Aid South Korea if Attacked
A recent poll concluded that 55% of Americans say the United States should aid South Korea if they are attacked by North Korea. Only 34% say the US should not. The Gallup poll reinforces the notion that the continuous US military connection to South Korea is the reason behind Americans' support for South Korea. Meanwhile, only 28% of Americans think it is likely that North Korea would attack the United States with supposedly 'cutting edge' nuclear weapons.

Local Dentist Has Life-Changing Weekend [1]
When you have a talent and a few spare hours, it's good to share.
That's exactly what Santa Clarita dentist Dell Goodrick and his hygienist Kathy Delanzo did last week, when they spent three days at the Inglewood Forum, contributing their time and talents to the Remote Area Medical free health expedition.
The humanitarian project was the brainchild of Stan Brock, who founded RAM in 1985. The nonprofit corporation travels all over the globe providing free health care to mostly third world countries and destitute areas of America, such as Appalachia and post-Katrina New Orleans.
During their 8-day stay in Inglewood, RAM volunteers - including doctors of all specialties, nurses, dentists, opticians, pharmacists, x-ray technicians, acupuncturists and social workers, just to name a few - treated 6,300 patients, providing nearly $3 million in services. Dentists extracted 2,274 teeth and filled 5,438 cavities. Opticians fit nearly 2,000 people for glasses.
The Forum was the ambitious project ever taken on by the group; it was the largest facility and the longest in duration, but Goodrick and Delanzo concurred that the leadership and improvisational skills of the volunteer health care workers made the weeklong effort a complete success.
The pair went to the Forum at 5 a.m. Friday, taking video of their early-morning adventure that started out with a "wow, it's early" attitude and quickly shifted into awe and amazement when the lens took in the monumental task at hand.
"On Friday, Kathy and I worked on floor seeing patients and doing dentistry," Goodrick said. "I think we saw seven patients. On Saturday I helped with triage, checking patients in, focusing on what their problems or priorities were, then getting them to have x-rays then off to the right lineup for cleaning, extractions or fillings. There was a backlog at x-rays, so I helped them out."
The backlog was where Goodrick saw the determination of the program first-hand.
"There were some limitations with equipment and some organizational hurdles to meet, but what I found was that there were a lot of leaders there. When something needed to be done better, somebody was working to reorganize it, make it a little more effortless and seamless."
By Sunday, Goodrick was working with a man who brought in a digital x-ray sensor and printer, which allowed him to process 200 patients.
"It was a very different animal than what we deal with in private practice," he said.
Goodrick was responding to a call that went out from the Los Angeles Dental Society for volunteers. According to RAM experience, 60 to 70 percent of the patients who come to their clinics are seeking dental and vision help. He estimates that 50 to 100 dental professionals were working every day that he participated, with the numbers growing on weekends when dentists closed their regular offices.
"It's wonderful how appreciative people were for the services provided," Delanzo said. "Even though there were so many people trying to get in there, there wasn't any pressure to get in there or rush."
"The materials we had to work with weren't perfect, but we got through it, and it was very positive," Goodrick added.
Both said that they would do it again because the experience was such a good one.
Goodrick also said that the clinic gave some of the dentists an opportunity to work with new equipment, such as the digital x-ray he operated on Sunday.
Both Goodrick and Delanzo were so focused on their work, he said they lost track of time.
"I know there were cameras there every day, although I haven't seen any of the news reports," he said. "It's kind of funny, being in the Forum all day long is like being in a casino, you don't know what time it is or whether it's dark or light outside.
The people who came to the clinic were of all ages and from all walks of life. Goodrick said that one thing everyone commented on was the level of gratitude apparent as treatment was given.
"We talked with people who had been there for three or four days, waiting. When they got to us, who knows what hoops they'd gone through to get there, but they were relaxed and just went with the flow.
"Everyone was so appreciative and thankful," he continued. "We just tried to do our best to take good care of them and help them feel better about themselves, and that made us feel good too. When you hear a comment like 'I already feel better' just by getting a tooth fixed, you can't help but feel good."
He added that it was apparent that most of their Forum patients had put off dental care for a long time.
"We saw some disastrous mouths," he said. "Most of the people we see in our office day in and day out are pretty lucky; most of these situations were pretty severe decay or broken and missing teeth or large holes in their teeth. Some younger people who were there were getting wisdom teeth out and cleaned to get them set up for a better future."
The dentists participating were told that treatment was not supposed to be comprehensive, that they could do as much as they could in the small area they were anesthetizing, to focus on a single problem or quadrant of the mouth. Patients were given referrals for future low-cost treatments.
All in all, both Goodrick and Delanzo concurred that it was time well spent.
"It was very worthwhile, although the days were long," he said. "I think that is was not only life-changing for the better for a lot of these people involved, it, it had that effect on all of the volunteers too. I'm very grateful to have had the opportunity to help and it's a huge reward. It makes me feel very good about the things that we do and the gifts we have."

Nobody On Our Lineup Has Been Banned From Army Events
This is another entry in the The Great Rock the Fort Swindle - exploring the disparity between the support for Rock the Fort and the Rock Beyond Belief.Franklin Graham is the driving force behind the Billy Graham Evangelical Association, who co-sponsored (along with Fort Bragg) the Rock the Fort event. He has previously been banned from official Army events before, and it makes me wonder why his organization was given so much support.

Rock Beyond Belief in Fall 2011…? Maybe.
Stringing along quite a few popular and busy people for 5 months, dangling a unique opportunity in front of them, was certainly never my intention.It was unfortunate and disheartening that the last minute restrictions crippled us and we had to cancel. My initial reaction was to entertain the idea of a smaller venue being overflowing with angry atheists, as offered. Then I thought about how accepting that offer would legitimize our unequal treatment. I also thought about the angry atheists that … [Read more...]
Foxhole Atheist Organizer on Talk Radio Taking the Heat

Demand equal treatment for the Army's non-religious Soldiers

It was shocking to learn that our festival had been crippled with last-minute restrictions that forced us to shut down.Now it's time to fight back.Please help us stand up to the discrimination facing the non-religious military community. That was the whole point of our festival, and Fort Bragg just took a giant step backwards by reinforcing existing prejudices.

Fort Bragg supports any group, as long as they're Evangelical Christians
Last week, the Garrison Commander at Fort Bragg placed crippling last-minute restrictions on our event, effectively forcing us to shut down.These restrictions are clearly breaking their promise to provide an equal level of support to the controversial evangelical Christian membership drive known as Rock the Fort. This promise has been repeated to me at every step of the 5+ months of planning, and even publicly repeated by the Garrison Commander's own legal staff (17 February 2011).Why did th … [Read more...]

I don't know why this particular one jumped out at me. Perhaps it was the dismissive hand-waiving, or the arguments from ignorance.

The ballet flat trend has been going strong for some time now. There is no new news about that. But how do you stand out from the masses? You get to the top of the line. Repetto started out by making actual ballet shoes in 1947 so the brand is the authority in the flats department. The venerable company keeps it fresh with neon, prints and collaborations with cool kids Opening Ceremony.
So difficult to pick just one!
Growing up in South Florida everyone wore espadrilles. It was such a 'thing' and I was so longing to be a city girl in NY that I hated them. Never wore them. Not until I grew up and moved to NYC that I began to embrace all the colorful ways of the South. Sure enough, I got my first pair of espadrilles a decade ago and I went for the original in espadrilles. I don't think my feet were ever happier than that summer. I wore my Castañer gold platforms from May through September for a few years until they eventually smushed down from all the miles I put on them. We walk here in Nyc. A lot.
Luckily, Castañer makes gorgeous flats too. Shop for summer here.
Is it just me or don't you think the Cobra Society slippers and boots from the SS12 collection would be perfect with just about anything?!

Below is a fundraising "survey" on health care apparently mailed out by the Republican National Committee. Take a look at Question 4.
That inspires a question of my own:
Does the RNC really believe the American people are that stupid? Did they sit around at RNC headquarters, a little giddy at their success in selling the death-panel nonsense, and decide that there really were no limits on what they could peddle to those willing to believe?
Fortunately, we don't have to answer those questions through mere conjecture. Below, we have newly released video of that very moment:

Anonymoussays: April 29, 2010 at 12:50 pm Unfortunately health care in this country is a "toxic" industry; there is just not enough money to go around. So I do not think it is a big stretch to assume reimbursement rates for doctors can only go down in an effort to save money in one area to pay for health care expenses in a different area. Of course no one in Washington sees the ultimate impact that will have on the quality of individuals seeking careers in medicine. The bright minds of America tend do go into well paying careers; medicine will not be one of them. Reply to this comment »
Anonymoussays: May 1, 2010 at 10:02 pm typical sampling error on results.since the majority of DPMs in the US are right wing-that particular myopia will show in on line polls. empirically-the use of Medicare was enormously beneficial to Podiatry as it was implemented. any regulation of the normally borderline fraudulent insurance companies can only help.

Pivoting Data with Quantrix: Two Useful Techniques
When working with large two dimensional data sets, it can be very useful to 'slice' or 'pivot' the data to gain insights into the modeling problem at hand. With a Microsoft Excel ® spreadsheet, this task becomes difficult with larger datasets. Also, while spreadsheet pivot tables are useful for reporting, they are not easily modified to perform additional calculations on the data. With Quantrix, you can solve both issues at the same time. Quantrix can handle an unlimited number of rows. Also, once you turn the flat data into multi-dimensional presentations, additional formulas and calculations can easily be applied to the model.
In this example, we are analyzing a data set of 87,000+ rows from the United States Census Bureau. The data contains population estimates for the year 2004 by State, Region, Regional Division, Sex, Race, Age and Age Range. The task is to 'pivot' or turn this data into different multi-dimensional data presentations and to perform calculations on this data. It is quite easy to quickly generate three different slices of this single data set from within a single model.
|By Sex & Age via DataLink Using Quantrix DataLink technology, a DataLink can be established against the matrix that contains the two-dimensional source data. By defining the Sex and Age Range columns as categories and adding a couple of formulas, one can quickly determine the Male / Female ratio by Age Group. It becomes immediately apparent that as the population ages, the percentage of females that make up the age segment increases rapidly. Click on the By Sex & Age matrix and then choose Tools > DataLink > Edit DataLink to see how the DataLink import is constructed.
By Age & Division via DataLink Using the same matrix that contains the two dimensional source data, a new DataLink can be established to analyze the Age Group by Regional Division. This analysis is useful to illustrate how the population shifts to different regions of the country as the population ages.
Click on the By Age & Division Matrix and then choose Tools > DataLink > Edit DataLink to see how the DataLink import is constructed.
|By Sex & State via 'Using As'
The 'Using As' formula statements allow you to very easily 'slice' large data sets into specific summary presentations. In this example, the task is to see the Male / Female breakdown by specific states. While DataLink allows you to analyze all the states, 'Using As' formula statements allow you to analyze just the target data in a user-defined matrix. Specifically, by setting up a new matrix with a State category that contains only the state items needed, and another category with the Male and Female sex labels, the following formula can be used:
Population = sum(Source Data::POPESTIMATE2004) using Source Data::STATE as State, Source Data::SEX as Sex
This formula is similar to the SELECT function, but has the advantage that it can easily slice across multiple categories. Thus, the formula indicates that the Population Estimate values in the Source Data matrix are going to be summed by State, and by Sex using the State and Sex values in the current matrix.
In one Quantrix model, three different multi-dimensional presentations have been created. At 700,000 cells, a file size of 959 KB and only 150KB of memory, there is plenty of room for additional multi-dimensional analysis in the model.

Mike the butt would only contain the should blade bone, if yours had a leg bone then you had either the lower portion, to a whole picnic. a whole one would likely weigh in at or close to 16-18 pounds. Either would be super flavor.

I roasted the peppers on my charcoal grill, then did a half assed job of de-seeding them, but didn't peel the skin off. I found that it is easier to do as I use them.

RE: Marjoria Snell Williamson
Airplane crash, he received multiple injuries and was killed instantly. He was a medical student too. Such a shame, I love the photo of him and his mother it is so gorgeous!! Thanks for posting it. I would have never seen this picture if you hadn't posted it. That is why I was wondering if you had any other photos of the Williamson's.

Marjoria Snell Williamson
You added a photo f Marjoria Snell Williamson and her son Benjamin Hairston Williamson to her find a grave memorial. Would you mind if I copied the photo to add to a family tree I have been working on for the Williamson Family for sometime now. If you have a picture of her husband Benjamin Hairston Williamson I would love to see it. He was my grandfather's brother. My grandfather was George O Williamson who married Mary Grey Elmore and lived in Reidsville, NC. I have memorial links to George O Williamson and his wife Martha Baskerville Williamson daughter of Dr John Lea Williamson. I would like very much to have as many of the Williamson family memorials link together as possible. If you know of anyone in the family who might have any photos of George and Martha Williamson I would be so grateful if they would mind sharing them. My regular email address is email@example.com. Thanks so much a Williamson descendant. Linda

Yes, if you find the source for that information, please let me know. I, along with two other Galloway researchers, are trying to find some specific information on Cornelius' presumed grandfather, Matthew Galloway (supposedly the immigrant), and if Cornelius does prove to be his grandson (son of William & Mary Polly Ragan Galloway), that will give us a new avenue to explore and additional clues.
I look forward to hearing from you if / when you find the source(s) of that information.

13 comfort foods that burn fat
They're called "comfort" foods for a reason—they bring back warm memories, tickle your taste buds, and soothe your soul. Though some comfort foods are deep-fried, covered in cheese, or packed with sugar, some can actually help you lose weight. Beat the battle of the bulge with the following cozy eats.
--By K. Aleisha Fetters, Health.com
Hot chocolate
Cocoa is packed with antioxidants, which reduce your levels of cortisol, a stress hormone that causes your body to cling to belly fat. In fact, one Cornell University study found that the concentration of antioxidants in hot chocolate is up to five times greater than it is in black tea.
Hot chocolate's combination of carbs and protein can also help your muscles recover faster from a tough workout, according to research in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism. Adding a dash of cinnamon boosts your treat's health benefits even more—it contains compounds that keep insulin out of the blood stream and from storing fat, says Gidus.
Collard greens
A single serving of this hearty veggie adds up to a mere 46 calories. A serving also packs more than your daily-recommended doses of vitamins A and K, which can strengthen your immune system for a healthy metabolism, says Jonny Bowden, PhD, a nutritionist and the author of The 150 Healthiest Comfort Foods on Earth. Plus, a cup of collard greens contain 7.6 grams of belly-filling fiber.
Research from the US Department of Agriculture shows that eating fiber-rich foods can lower your body's absorption of calories from carbs.
Chicken noodle soup
"People who eat a broth- or vegetable-based soup before their meal consume fewer calories overall," says Rania Batayneh, MPH, nutritionist and author of The One One One Diet. "The water in the soup helps fill you up and boosts satiety, and just the act of eating soup helps slow your eating down so that your body has time to notice feelings of fullness."
One Penn State study found that people who ate soup before digging into their entrees reduced their total calorie intake by 20%. Plus, chicken noodle varieties pack the protein, vitamins, and fiber you need to rev your metabolism even after your meal.
Your old friend joe can boost more than your mood. It can also boost your metabolism, thanks to a healthy dose of the antioxidant chlorogenic acid (CGA), which increases your body's use of fat for energy, Bowden says.
Research has also shown that the chemical compound can slow the release of glucose into the bloodstream after a meal while lowering insulin resistance to prevent weight gain. Opt for the strong stuff: Several recent studies have found that caffeine in small doses before exercise can improve performance and help your muscles recover in record time.
Pot roast
The moment protein passes your lips, it starts fighting fat. Your body has to work harder to break down protein and use it for energy, which means you burn more calories as you digest it, Gidus says. It also takes more time to leave your stomach, literally keeping your belly fuller for longer.
In one study published in the journal Nutrition Metabolism, dieters who increased their protein intake to 30% of their total diet ate about 450 fewer calories a day. Over 12 weeks, that equals 11 pounds lost—without doing anything else!
One cup of warm, gooey oatmeal contains 4 grams of fiber and 6 grams of protein, a combination that slows the digestion of carbs, reduces your insulin response, and keeps you fuller for longer, says Batayneh. In fact, a study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition evaluated 38 common foods and found that oatmeal was the third most filling.
When possible, opt for steel-cut oatmeal, which goes through less processing than other varieties and as a result has a lower Glycemic Index score, a measurement of how much a food increases your blood sugar.
Roasted carrots
As a side or mixed in with your favorite meats, the high water and fiber content in carrots fills you up fast. Roast them for a better calorie burn: University of Arkansas researchers found that carrots roasted at 104 degrees contain three times as many antioxidants as raw carrots.
Red wine
In addition to being a heart helper, red wine may be a weapon against excess weight. A 2009 report from the University of Ulm in Germany suggests that resveratrol—the renowned antioxidant found in grape skins—inhibits the production of fat cells. What's more, a substance found naturally in red wine called calcium pyruvate helps fat cells burn more energy, says Gidus.
Meanwhile, in a 2011 study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, women who had one or two drinks a day were 30% less likely to gain weight than teetotalers. So drink up, but stick to just one glass—each 6-ounce serving contains about 150 calories.
Don't let the pies fool you. One cup of this good-for-you gourd contains a mere 46 calories and 3 grams of fiber, according to the USDA.
Plus, pumpkin is an excellent source of the antioxidant beta-carotene, which fights the oxidative stress and inflammation in the body that's linked to increased fat storage, Gidus says.
