Festival Story:
Recognized internationally for its unique concept of free urban entertainment in an outdoor site that is safe, clean, visitor-friendly and free of car traffic, the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal—dubbed the biggest festival in the world by the Guinness World Records—has made a strong contribution to Montreal's reputation as a tourist destination and to the promotion of sustainable living.
Green for over 20 years—The Festival International de Jazz de Montréal has always been proactive to promote means of increasing waste recovery and recycling. It has taken part in numerous pilot projects aimed at finding innovative solutions to the various logistical problems related to waste recovery: recycling drums made of recycled cardboard and bearing the recycling symbol, a cardboard compacter, an on-site sorting centre and an on-site clean-up team, etc. Today this recovery and recycling system serves as a model for countless public events. This landmark agreement also brought about a sharing of responsibilities meant to make the most of the in-depth skills and know-how available from both parties, resulting in an improvement of clean-up and collection activities around the stages since 2004.
As part of its ongoing efforts to achieve sustainability:
- recycle the wood used during set-up;
- recycle paper, cardboard, glass, plastic and aluminium generated during set-up;
- step up efforts to recycle paper and cardboard in production offices, at on-site kiosks, in the press room and in artists' dressing rooms;
- provide an on-site coordinator and maintenance staff of 70—the Jazz-Net team—to ensure waste collection and clean-up;
- working round the clock for the 11 days of the Festival, this team attests to the Festival's real commitment to sustainability and to an excellent collaboration with the team from Consortium Écho-Logique;
supply the equipment needed to ensure that recycling operations are run effectively. For more about Consortium Écho-Logique visit

Contini Vernaccia 2002 750ml$21.84
Contini Vermentino Pariglia 2013
Contini - Sardinia - Italy
The Vermentino grape varietal is a white wine grape thought to have originated in Spain. However, today it is most closely associated with Italian wines, and it is grown in much of northern Italy and on the islands of Sardinia and Corsica, where it is a highly important varietal for the production of both fine wines and flavorful table wines. Vermentino is popular with vintners, as it is an easy grape to grow, vigorous and highly resistant to the diseases and mildews which cause so many problems when it comes to other varietals. It produces wine which is pale and light in body and alcohol content, but which is refreshingly crisp and acidic, holding flavors of lime and green apple. As such, it is popular with those looking for a light and invigorating wine, perfect for drinking with seafood.
There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' the land of wines so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

Confess Your Shopping Sins with Spendster
Published on - October 29th, 2008 (by J.D. Roth)
Spendster is a new site that allows users to share video stories about impulse buying, over-spending, and wasting money on Stuff they don't need. These video confessionals are fun to watch (I would never buy that) until you realize just how much junk you probably have in your own life. This embedded widget should show you one such story:
According to the site, "a spendster is someone who in a moment of weakness buys something they think they really need and realize later they made a bad choice." In other words, a person like me. I haven't uploaded a video of my own, but that's only because Kris and I have spent the past year purging most of the stupid crap we've bought. (Fortunately, I'm not as much of a spendster as I used to be!)
Spendster is sponsored by the National Endowment for Financial Education, and is a great way to educate consumers on the dangers of compulsive spending. These confessionals are a clever idea, but perhaps because it's new, the site's content is sparse right now. I hope that it will grow more robust in the future (like another great NEFE site, Smart About Money). I'd love to see more video examples of stuff that I would never buy…
[via DINKs Finance, a site I should mention more often]
This article is about Funny Money, Shopping, Tools
Sounds like a good idea. We can always learn from others' mistakes. So this is another video sharing social site. Do you guys think at one point we all will be tired of too many social sites?
A Dawn Journal
I went shopping yesterday (or, as a friend at the bus stop said, I was going out "to help revive the economy"), and so today I'm wondering what I bought that will turn out to have been unnecessary or just a mistake. Well, at least almost everything was on sale (I did buy two inexpensive holiday gifts at full price). It was a little spooky to be at a mall on a Wednesday morning, pretty empty, there were huge sales, and totally solicitious sales people…
Hello, my name is Bigpimpin, and I am a shopaholic. That realization and admission, I do realize, is the first step to my becoming whole. Since I am not yet whole, however, I am currently trying to talk my DH into purchasing six custom dining chairs to the tune of $6k . Yes, we'll pay cash, but OB-VI-OUS-LY, our Roth IRA would reap a better return than those beautiful, beautiful chairs that I so desparately need, er, want.

Myanmar church embraces AnabaptismMennonite Mission Network staff - 04/06/12
Mennonite Mission Network
The amazing growth and commitment to Anabaptism by churches in Myanmar was witnessed recently by leaders of Mennonite Mission Network attending the annual Kale district conference of the Bible Missionary Church.
In March, Stanley W. Green, executive director of Mennonite Mission Network, and Kuaying Teng, the agency's denominational minister of Asian ministries, enjoyed the company of several fellow Anabaptists, the result of God's calling of Amos Thang Chin, leader of the Bible Missionary Church in Myanmar, and Chin's linkages with Mission Network.
Standing from left: Kauying Teng, MC USA's denominational minister of Asian ministries; Stanley W. Green, Mission Network CEO; and Amos Thang Chin, leader of the Bible Missionary Church in Myanmar; pray during the licensing and ordination of Van Lal Lian (bottom left) and Kio Lian Thio.
Ten churches were represented among the 200 in attendance, including some who walked two days to attend the three-day event at the Sanpya Church in Kalaymyo.
Green said that he and Teng were greeted warmly at the opening evening worship, and that it was clear that the church had embraced an Anabaptist identity.
About a decade ago, Chin was advised by the Asia Mennonite Conference to contact Mission Network. Chin's story of how he came to accept Jesus Christ and embrace Anabaptism moved them deeply.
"As his story unfolded, Mission Network staff were astounded by the extent to which Amos's story seemed so resonate with the early Anabaptists' experience," Green said.
Chin grew up in an animist family in the Chin State of Myanmar. His conversion to Christ later in life incensed his father, who, as a result, rejected him. Chin fled to India, where he attended a Bible school in Delhi. His eagerness to witness to his faith in Jesus led to preaching on street corners. This enraged some people and he was stoned and left hurting on the street.
As many people passed him by, Raj Kumar, a Mennonite, came to Chin's aide. Kumar had attended Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, Va. He put Chin in touch with the Asia Mennonite Conference. Kumar's expression of compassion and love stirred Chin's interest in Anabaptism.
Chin moved back to Myanmar to reconcile with his father and witness to his compatriots. Moved by his gesture, Chin's father gave his son a rice field, which Chin sold, using the money he received for evangelistic outreaches and church planting.
As the number of churches grew, Chin became concerned about the identity of this new movement. He requested Mission Network to have Mennonites come to Myanmar specifically to teach the emerging leaders Anabaptist theology and conflict resolution.
After an initial visit, Mission Network representatives, encouraged by the alignment of the Bible Missionary Church's faith expressions, counseled that the BMC to seek affiliation with Mennonite World Conference. The church became a full member during Mennonite World Conference in Paraguay in 2009.
Mission Network also sent Loren Johns, professor of New Testament at Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary, on a teaching tour with the BMC churches in 2006 in response to their specific request for formation in Anabaptism.
Prior to the conference, BMC leaders had told Teng and Green that the BMC had embraced an Anabaptist identity. In introducing the vision for the BMC, Chin noted that "the name Mennonite is very strange and quite unknown in Myanmar," but the BMC anticipates changing its name to "Myanmar Mennonite Church." Chin said the BMC wants to educate people about Anabaptism and hopes to publish Mennonite books to help people "understand about our convictions."
In addition to planting churches and developing social ministries, the church also hopes to work with the government to achieve recognition for its stand on nonmilitary participation.
"I would like to commend the Mennonite faith in Myanmar," Chin said in declaring his commitment to the way of reconciliation in Burmese society, which is riven by many ethnic divisions and scarred by violence and conflict in the past.
"By the grace of God, you are here," said the Rev. Khua Rung, the conference secretary. "Today we can testify that though we are of different cultures and colors, we are one in Christ; we are God's people chosen by the blood of Christ."
"Here was a visible, public confirmation of the changing identity of the BMC in the direction of explicit Anabaptist affiliation and conviction," Green said. "Anabaptist brothers and sisters who had gathered to worship God and to bear witness to their faith in Jesus Christ, encouraged each other by their joy in the richness of the family of which they are a part."

Previous Day's Reflection Next Day's Reflection Go to Today's Reflection
"When the days for Jesus to be taken up were fulfilled, he resolutely determined to journey to Jerusalem . . ." (Luke 9:51)
I subscribe to "Living with Christ," a daily prayer supplement, and when I was studying today's passage I read that Luke arranged the material of his Gospel around a journey theme, with Jesus on his great journey to Jerusalem. The journey starts in today's passage, and it is interesting to note that the first thing Jesus faces is rejection. In this passage he is rejected by Samaritans because of the longstanding animosity between Samaritans and Jews.
Today, and as his journey unfolds, Jesus responds with non-violence, not meeting rejection with rejection or hatred with hatred. Jesus shows us the way on our journey, he is shows us how to live.
At Avera, we too are on our journey of faith in the healing ministry of Jesus. Some days are filled with joy, excitement and anticipation, and in some we find pain, disappointment and even crisis. It is important for us to stop, take a deep breath, and remember, we are not alone in our journey, wherever that journey may take us.

A one way trip
I was doing a presentation at a conference recently and mentioned the first Moon landing. I commented that I felt that this was mankind's most significant technical achievement to date. Then I backtracked and said that actually getting the guys back again was really the big achievement. Hold that thought, as I will come back to it shortly.
Of course, there are many who would cite other examples of achievements that deserve the top slot; for example: the invention of the wheel, a written language, mathematics, the printing press, electronics, radio, the Internet, chocolate. The list is endless. I think it is the pioneering spirit that makes the moon shots so outstanding for me. I am no good at lying on a beach soaking up the sun. I always start to wonder what is around the next headland and, before you know it, I am off. Even though I am nothing like as brave as the astronauts, I think I know here they were coming from.
This opens up lots of thoughts and ideas about space travel …
I have always liked science fiction and space travel is right at the core of the genre. As a kid, I took it for granted that a mission to Mars would occur before I was far into adulthood. I am still waiting. As I learn more about how hard [i.e. complex, expensive and dangerous] it is, I become rather sad, but I know we will get there eventually.
There are many who believe that the moon landings were a hoax, all staged in New Mexico or some other desert. I was pleased to see the images from a recent probe that showed some the detritus left behind from one of the Apollo missions. Unless, of course, the guys controlling that mission were all part of the same conspiracy …
Talking of conspiracies, I wonder how much we really know about the cost of the space race. I do not mean the cost in dollars; I am thinking of the human cost. How many people died as a result of space travel? There was the Soyuz crew who died during re-entry; the Americans who died in a fire on the pad; everyone remembers the two Shuttle disasters. Were there others? I feel bad that I may have forgotten someone. Of course, there were numerous near misses, with the most obvious one being Apollo 13. [I love the movie; I was on the edge of my seat, even though I knew the ending.] I have often wondered whether there was much greater loss of life – perhaps behind the Iron Curtain – in the early days which was hushed up. Although every death is a tragedy, the toll has been amazingly light compared with the losses entailed in exploring the Earth's surface.
Like going to the Moon, one of the biggest challenges with a trip to Mars is getting back. It would need a very large vehicle to be sent in order to have enough power to overcome the Martian gravitation pull, which, though much less than that of the Earth, is significantly greater than the Moon. It occurred to me that there is a common technique in engineering when the solution to a problem is hard to find: redefine the problem. In this case, I would suggest that the team just focus on getting to Mars and leave it at that. Make it a one way mission.
My first thoughts were that there would be plenty of well qualified people who would volunteer immediately. It would, in effect, be a suicide mission, but plenty of people give up their lives for less worth causes. And, so long as it is truly voluntary, what is wrong with that? I knew, of course, that no government sponsored agency [like NASA] would propose such an escapade. However, a group of scientists did recently suggest something similar. Their idea is for a one way mission, but with a view to growing an increasing presence on the Red Planet. The one way spacecraft would be relatively cheap and the ISS would provide an ideal way station or kick off point. The crew – or should I call them colonists? – would be provided with supplies and equipment to help them exploit the local resources to make a viable ecosystem. Any number of ships could be sent, both manned vehicles and freighters, augmenting the colony over time. Eventually, perhaps a few generations down the line, a return trip might become viable and Earth may finally be visited by Martians.
Any takers?

Want Better Grain Salads? Don't Skip This Crucial Step
Grain salads taste great in fall or winter, for breakfast or lunch, but it's in the summer that they really become a staple in my kitchen. They are easy to throw together, accommodate whatever produce I have on hand and taste even better if they are made ahead of time, making them the perfect dish to bring to summer potlucks or BBQs. But there is one step in making grain salads that people tend to skip — and it's what transforms a dull bowl of whole grains into a can't-stop-eating-it tasty salad.
The key to a great-tasting grain salad? Salting the cooking water. As with salting pasta water, adding a generous pinch of salt to the water seasons whole grains as they cook, so you end up with a bowl of grains that taste good even before you add any dressing. This means you don't need as much dressing and, more importantly, your grain salads are never bland.
How much salt to add? Since I cook most grains like pasta, I usually just add a big pinch as the water comes to a boil, but for grains cooked by absorption, such as rice, I use 1/2 teaspoon salt per cup of dry grains. Cooking in chicken or vegetable stock instead of water also works to ensure your grain salads are full of flavor.
Do you have any tips for better grain salads?

Instead of salt, I often throw in a veggie or chicken bouillon cube. You could also use "better than bouillon" or whatever else you have on hand in place of stock.
I use bouillon too, always vegetable based. It gives grains another delicious layer of flavor.
1) Put dressing on while the grains are still warm, so they absorb it better. 2) Let the grains cool entirely before putting any crumbled cheeses on them, unless you want the cheese to melt. 3) Err on the side of undercooking the grains. A lot of recipes for grain: water ratios leave the grains on the mushier side, which can be gross in salads.
Bouillon cubes and "better than bouillon" are basically salt and MSG with a little fat thrown in. If, like me, you are trying to stay away from MSG (which is in everything and not necessarily labeled), go back to just salting!
My tip is drain the grains VERY well. I hate when the salad has been sitting for a while and water starts to pool in the bottom of the bowl. I press the grains in the colander to try to get as much of the cooking water out as possible. And, yes, I put lots of salt in the water, just as I do for pasta.
Heaven forbid I don't add enough salt to the cooking water...my husband is Italian (born and raised) and let's me know EVERY time I don't add enough salt, lol!
Adding Nutritional Yeast to the cooking liquid adds lots of umami flavor, and you keep it MSG-free.
I love cooking grains in the crockpot and then I have enough for the whole week.
A splash of acid (lemon juice, vinegar) usually works great to brighten up a grain salad that tastes a bit flat.
The bouillion cubes (veggie) that I use don't have any MSG. Organic Gourmet Low-Sodium Vegetarian, I buy them at Whole Foods.
Amen to salting the water!
I like to put vinegar on the potatoes for potato salad while they're still hot. It really perks up the flavor. I'm guessing this trick would also be useful with grain salads -- doing some of the seasoning while they're still warm ...
Instead of bouillion cubes I would add roasted onions, garlic, bell peppers and mushrooms.

Some time ago I was looking for a similar plugin and was surprised not to find anything close to that, since it's relatively easy to make and can be quiet handy at times.. I'm sure many people must have made a button with similar functionality on their own, just didn't bother to make it easy to insert the html through the parameters.
Thanks for the review :)

The Vigo County Election Board approved more changes to the way residents in Vigo County will vote and how those votes will be counted.
The Board approved making Vigo County a central count county.
It means that all absentee ballots will be counted at election headquarters instead of being tallied at the voter's precinct
Starting this May there really won't be precincts anymore as the county moves to Vote Centers.
There really was no choice as state law requires the move to central voting is we use vote centers.
Severn vote centers will be open for one week prior to the election and then on Election Day 18 vote centers open for 12 hours.

We discussed your future SEO strategy using Google AdWords and Analytics, now it's time to clean out some of your old SEO. Hopefully you've watched some of the many SEO tutorials here at WebDesign.com, so this will just be a reminder!
Meta Tags
Using the meta description tag on your site is still a good idea.
The descriptions under each website in your Google search results are typically pulled from your meta description tag.
However, the keyword meta tag is no longer searched by crawlers like Google. While it won't hurt your SEO to include keyword meta tags, it's definitely not something you need to stress over if you decide to add them. Pick 3-4 keywords at most to add for this particular meta data. Already have keyword meta data added to your site? Clean it out, narrowing it down to a few select keywords.
While it's true that people linking to your site helps your SEO, trading links with somebody just to have links to your site is not a good idea. Actually, this was never a good idea! So if you've been doing this, stop.
If you have links to other sites, make sure they are ones that will be beneficial to your users, something that relates to the content of your site.
Don't just link for link's sake!
Since you're already going through your links, be sure to check for any broken links and clear these out as well.
Obviously keywords are vital to your SEO strategy! Be careful though not to spam your content with them, because that's what the search engines will see you as.
Use your keywords thoughtfully and in a way that makes sense with the content.
Straight from Google
A lot of changes have come with Google's release of Penguin, a new update to their search engine rankings/algorithm.
At SXSW this year, Matt Cutts, head of Google's Web Spam team, said that this new algorithm will now target sites that over-do their SEO.
…We are also looking for those who abuse it, like too many keywords on a page, or exchange way too many links or go well beyond what you normally expect.
A recommendation from Google's Webmaster Guidelines on Quality Guidelines is to ask yourself, "Does this help my users? Would I do this if search engines didn't exist?" If the answer to either of those questions is no, don't do it!
Be sure to sign up for the SEO Penguin Power webinar, June 22 at 2pm CDT, to learn more about the release of Penguin and how it will affect your SEO.

Risqué business
Date: September 22, 2010
by: Heidi Kurpiela | A&E Editor
Sarasota prudes take note: Nobody puts Virginia Hughes in a corner.
Meet the 24-year-old founder and leader of the Black Diamond Burlesque Troupe.
A 2008 Ringling College of Art and Design graduate, Hughes is a photographer, a former assistant gallery manager, a voracious collector of all things relating to 1950s pin-up culture and the latest marketing- and social-media guru to join the staff at the HuB in the Rosemary District.
If she looks a little proper right now in her tea-length leopard print dress and peep-toe pumps, don't worry. You'll see a whole lot more of her next Wednesday at Selva Grill.
She'll be dancing in a lollipop corset under the stage name, Miss Petite Coquette, which means Little Miss Flirt in English, a name she says she picked because she's 5-feet tall and an unabashed temptress.
"I feel like burlesque has always been this underground thing people unfairly associated with stripping," Hughes says, "which is offensive to burlesque dancers. Burlesque is the art of tease. It's about celebrating femininity. Nothing is ever completely revealed. It's more a provocative stage show."
A quick glance around Hughes' North Sarasota apartment reveals that the dancer is much more than an exhibitionist.
From the leopard print throw pillows she sewed herself to the splintered Rooms To Go coffee table she covered in images torn from old pin-up magazines, Hughes' infatuation with burlesque rivals that of any history buff.
Even the light box she created this spring for Rosemary Rising included a scanned magazine tear-out of a pin-up model.
"Every type of performing arts is represented in Sarasota," Hughes says. "I feel like burlesque could be really big here. It's huge in Paris, L.A. New York, Miami ... "
She trails off, surveying her living room: her blue beach-cruiser bicycle, her 11-year-old rescue cat; the statement-making photographs she took when she was a student at Ringling.
Her eyes land on the hardcover book, "Va-Va-Voom: Classic Hollywood Pin-ups," her unofficial handbook.
"You can only go to 'Drag Queen Bingo' so many times," she says, smiling.
It's hard to believe Hughes is new on the burlesque scene.
A native of Lexington, Ky., she grew up in a conservative neighborhood, unsure of herself and her place within what she describes "the herd."
"I never felt like I fit in anywhere in high school," Hughes says. "I was an art kid who didn't look like an art kid."
It wasn't until she moved to Sarasota and started her freshman year at Ringling that she felt she finally found a place where she belonged.
After graduation, she moved to Miami, where she lived for a year and worked at a contemporary art gallery.
In 2009, she returned to Sarasota to work as the assistant manager at Ringling's madeby gallery. The off-campus boutique sells work produced by Ringling grads and current students, including Hughes, who left her post at madeby earlier this summer shortly after auditioning for a burlesque troupe in Tampa called Les Tease.
She had no professional dance experience.
"I like to dance and I knew I could dance," Hughes says. "But dancing when you're out with your friends is different than dancing in front of 150 people scantily clad."
The Tampa troupe leader liked Hughes' look, casting her as the rockabilly, cutesy, plaid skirt-wearing sweetheart of the ensemble — a role Hughes found uncomfortable.
"That's so not me," she says. "I have a naughty side. I can be sweet and innocent, but I can embody much more. I have an alter ego. We all do."
This explains the rose tattoos crawling up her right bicep.
She danced with Les Tease for only two months. She says she felt "boxed in" as the goody-goody girl of the group.
Her first performance however, was a terrifying rush. She felt a connection with the dancers and pin-ups she's idolized over the years. She felt a kinship with her icon, Betty Paige.
"I felt alive," Hughes says. "Completely in my element."
It didn't take Hughes long to organize a troupe in Sarasota with two other dancers: Joelle "Lotta Love" Davis and Mariel "Mademoiselle Rowdy Pants" Purdon.
The Black Diamond launch couldn't come at a better time.
Dirty dancing will be peddled to mainstream audiences in November, when Sony Pictures releases the Cher/Christina Aguilera film "Burlesque."
Hughes says the movie will help "validate the art form."
She says she plans to book a Black Diamond gig at a different Sarasota venue every month. She would eventually like to grow the troupe to include more dancers and guest performers.
"I have a feeling opportunities will come out of the woodwork after this," she says, rising to get the bright-pink suitcase in which she stores her costumes.
Hughes lugs the case into her living room, pops it open and a mess of shimmering lingerie spills out — corsets, sequined bras, panties, blue-feathered collars, eye patches, top hats, gloves, stockings and, yes, pasties.
As she pulls out tantalizing bits and pieces, her face lights up. Some women would feel weird flashing their undergarments to a stranger.
Not Hughes.
"A lot of people who know me or have seen my photography know that showing a little skin is nothing new for me," Hughes giggles. "The thing that makes a great burlesque performer is confidence and I feel like I finally found mine."
Betty Paige
"She was a sweet and innocent girl from the South like me."
'Moulin Rouge'
"It was the first I ever knew of the burlesque world. I was a freshman in high school. I'd watch it every day when I got home from school. It was an obsession."
'Since I've Been Loving You' by Led Zeppelin
"This song makes me want to turn on a red light, smoke cigarettes and drink whiskey –– and I don't smoke cigarettes and drink whiskey!"
if you go
Black Diamond Burlesque will perform Wednesday, Sept. 29, at Selva Grill. Door opens at 9:30 p.m. The show begins at 10 p.m. Tickets are $20. To make a reservation, call 954-8800 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

April 9, 2007Sylvester -- Thousands of people worldwide were sickened by Sylvester produced Peter Pan and Great Value Peanut Butter and are suing ConAgra Foods. Ten attorneys were allowed inside the plant Monday to see for themselves how salmonella bacteria ended up inside peanut butter jars.
Lawyers, photographers, and engineers walked the roof of ConAgra Foods, photographing the roof leak believed to be the source of salmonella bacteria inside the plant. "We represent almost five thousand people across the nation and we have service members in Iraq, we have people from foreign countries, we represent about half the people that are officially counted," said Seattle attorney Bill Marler.
At the CDC's last count, 425 people in 44 states were confirmed sickened by salmonella bacteria in Peter Pan and Great Value Peanut Butter. Now as part if the class action lawsuits, lawyers will conduct their own tests.
"Micro-biologists, roofing experts, engineers, lots of photographers, lots of videographers, we even have a guy in there that sort of does this laser, GPS thing to figure out where the vats are in relation to the roof to various areas," Marler said.
Attorneys will compare their information along with the FDA and ConAgra's files. The information will help determine who has a legitimate injury claim.
"Try to figure out in a sense who's in and who's not, who has a legitimate claim and who doesn't have a legitimate claim," Marler said.
The Sylvester plant can't begin it's cleanup until attorneys get what they need.
"The whole warehouse over here is completely filled with hundreds and hundreds of thousands of jars of peanut butter that they're going to have to figure out how to destroy, I suppose."
While attorneys have reached an agreement for the company to pay medical expenses for the uninsured sick, it's not been determined what compensation they might offer others.
Marler expects to have his investigators back inside the plant again on Friday.

Regedit hack. I think ChrisH posted one.
Is there a way to stop the IE7 welcome screen from appearing each time someone new logs into a computer? The kids here dont have profiles and the local ones get deleted every so often, and this is one reason why we havent rooled out IE 7 yet. Surely there has to be a way to automatically set the language setting, the clear type font and the home page so you dont get asked everytime a profile is deleted?
Regedit hack. I think ChrisH posted one.
The answer is in this thread.
Thanks to the helpful people here I no longer get the nag screen of doom.
To make it quicker
HBJB the location of the one for IE7 is:
"Computer Config - Administrative Templates - Windows Components - Internet Explorer". Its the option to Prevent performance of First Run Customize Settings. I have mine set to go straight to the home page. Works like a chalm for me. Also in there you can turn off the blasted Customer Improvement Annoy the Hell out me program.
For Media Player, replaced the "Internet Explorer" with Media Player and that option is Do Not Show First Use Dialog Boxes, does the same thing but with WMP, again works like a chalm.
Im still having mixed results I cant figure it out. GPO set a reg entry set as well

MEMPHIS, TN (WMC-TV) - While the city and county school boards race against the clock to push their consolidation agendas, the state legislature in Nashville has put their plans to delay a charter referendum vote back on the fast track."Anything that gets in the way of the vote, I am just unalterably opposed to that," said Memphis Mayor A C Wharton.As Wharton weighted in on the Memphis City Schools charter surrender, legislators in Nashville amped up their efforts to delay the March 8 referendum."I think we need to let common sense prevail and a little reasoning prevail," said Tennessee Lieutenant Governor Ron Ramsey. "I don't think anyone has a plan on how to implement this."Ramsey said next week, state lawmakers will expedite legislation that could stop Memphis voters from voting on the MCS charter surrender on March 8."I'm not trying to take the vote away at all," said Ramsey. "I'm simply saying it's way too quick to let this happen."Wharton said he detests any plan that gets in the way of the right to vote in a city where people marched and died for that right."Once you tell the people that they're going to have the right to vote on something, he or she who gets in the way of that acts with great peril," said Wharton.Ramsey argued the greatest peril is making a rush decision on merging city and county schools."I know what the mayor's actually said, and A C's a good friend of mine, has said that we'll work out the plan after the vote," said Ramsey. "That's not the way to be doing this. I think people need to realize exactly what's going to happen if this vote takes place."State Senator Mark Norris of Collierville and Representative Brian Kelsey of Germantown have submitted bills that would delay the vote."More state dollars go into the Memphis City Schools than any other system in the state," said Ramsey. "We do have a stake in this and it comes down to what is best for the children."The legislation will be up for discussion at an Education Committee Meeting next Wednesday in Nashville with the goal of getting it on the floor by Monday, February 7.

Editor's Note: The archived blog from the 2013-14 season can be found here.
August 11, 2014
Hey Blue Hens Family!
Hope you've all been doing well, I know it's been a very busy summer for us here at UD! Most of the team has been on campus since June practicing, taking classes and working and we were very excited to welcome the freshmen to campus mid-July. It's so odd to think that I was in their shoes just three short years ago and will soon be out in the 'real world' but I have really enjoyed getting to share my experiences with them and hopefully help ease their transition into college life and basketball. I've had an extra dose of basketball in my life these last few weeks as I've been playing in a summer league right outside of Philly with players from other colleges which has been a great experience as it's given me the chance to continue developing my game in a competitive setting!
Besides basketball I've been working in the Office for International Students and Scholars which has given me the chance to learn a little bit about the requirements international students need to maintain their legal status in the country as well as the programming available for them on campus. Working with international students has opened my eyes to the unique challenges faced by their community and has also given me the chance to learn about different cultures from my fellow Blue Hens.
It hasn't been all work for me this summer as I've been taking little day-cations the past few weekends and catching up with family and friends. My mom and I spent one Friday out in Delaware City exploring Fort Delaware and learning about the historical significance of the state and the fort in particular. The staff does a great job portraying what life would have been like in 1864 and is dedicated to maintaining their characters while answering questions when they are 'hats on' ('hats off' means they were back with us in 2014). One of my classmates happened to be working there when I went and he physically took off his hat when he was talking to me so that he would not be the Union soldier he was portraying! My favorite activity at Fort Delaware was by far the blacksmith workshop as Willis (or as he is known in 1864, Esau) helped me to forge an s-hook that I kept.
The following Friday I met up with my dad and younger sister, Charlotte, in New York City and we got dinner outside Madison Square Garden and then went to the Ten Times Crazier concert to see Blake Shelton and the Band Perry perform. I LOVE country music and it was awesome to attend my first country concert in MSG, a place I usually associate with sports! The concert was great and as you might expect of a country concert, being held in the Big Apple there was some great people watching to be done as well.
I drove back to UD after that and had a quick turnaround as I meet up with some friends to go to Lewes Beach the next morning. Even though it wasn't ideal beach weather we had a blast catching up with one another, shopping at the outlets and exploring the first city of the first state! The dreary weather didn't keep my friends and me from having lots of laughs, taking tons of pictures and really just enjoying being around one another.
This past week I worked at our team's basketball camp and it was so much fun seeing all of our young fans and future Blue Hens working on their game. My drill group decided to go against the grain and when the rest of the camp had a white out, came dressed in all black so they definitely stood out from everyone! We had a great group of girls at camp and I unfortunately missed championship Friday with them as I left Thursday night for Orlando. While down in the Sunshine State I visited my sister, Chelsea, at her new internship at Disney, met my cousin's newborn son, Cooper, celebrated my mom's birthday and oh yea, celebrated my 21st birthday!! I am so glad I got to see so much of my family before my senior year starts as I expect this upcoming year will be action-packed and eventful!

Hey Everybody!
Hope you're all having a good summer! I've had a great two months so far.
After school ended in May, I returned home to Newfoundland for the month of June. I was so happy to be able to spend some time with my family and friends. I got home just in time for my uncle's retirement party. He was the St. John's Fire Chief and a lot of my family had flown home for the weekend, which was awesome!
I couldn't get over how tall my sister had gotten! She's only 11 and she is already almost 5'8"! While I was home I spent a lot of time going on hikes and runs around different parts of Newfoundland. Even though the weather had gotten a lot warmer there were still huge icebergs all around the island, which were really cool to see. I also got to help my Nan move into her new apartment in Trepassey!
On July 3, my family and I left Newfoundland and headed to New York for a family vacation. We stayed there for a couple of days before getting on our cruise. While in New York we got to see a Broadway show and visit Central Park for the first time. We also got to see the Forth of July fireworks, which were incredible!
After a few days we got on our cruise, which was headed to Bermuda. I had so much fun on board with my family. The weather was great and there was so much to do. My dad (who has coached me since I was in first grade) and I even played basketball on the top deck of the ship! When we got to Bermuda we went to Horse Shoe Beach for the day, which was amazing and then played a mini golf game the next day.
My family and I arrived back in Delaware just in time for me to start my summer class and workouts. I am taking my final calculus course this summer. While in Delaware my family helped me move into my new apartment and got me all settled before they headed back home. I loved spending so much time with them and we had a great summer vacation.
I also got to go to the state fair with Courtni a week ago. This was my first state fair and I couldn't get over how much there was to do there! It was a great experience. (Yes, I even held a baby chick.)
Now that I'm back in Delaware I've been training really hard with the team as we have lift/conditioning workouts and individuals with the coaches going on throughout the week. As the second summer session is coming to an end our team is more excited then ever for next season and we can't wait to see you all at the games!
Until next time!

Hey! My summer has been great so far. In the first session I took a Spanish class that I really enjoyed. In high school I took three years of spanish so it wasn't too difficult. The best thing about summer classes are the class size. They are so small which gives you the opportunity to work with the professor more one on one. I had 9 students total in my class and it was cool because we got the chance to get to know one another better as well.
First session workouts are officially in the books! The freshman were not on campus yet but we still worked hard with all who was here.
At the end of first session I was able to take a vacation with my family to Las Vegas. We all went to support my brother in the NBA summer league. I really enjoyed watching him play all week since he has been in Italy for the past year playing. I also got the chance to see the wonderful city. It really is a city that never sleeps. Overall I really just enjoyed every second with my family because we rarely are all together because of our busy schedules.
When I got back second session had already started and the freshman were here. They have adjusted well and are working hard! I cannot wait to get to play with each of them this year.
Recently Hannah and I attended the Delaware State Fair and we had so much fun. We had the chance to see different animals and go around and taste different foods provided by the vendors. We also had the chance to ride on a float and go around the whole fair and see everything, it was so much bigger than I thought. I cannot wait to go back next year!
Until next time,
July 17, 2014
Hope everyone is doing well. Everything is going well on our end. We have been working hard all summer and man did the first summer session fly by!
Second summer session just started and I am now taking a class. The freshmen arrived this past weekend so we now have the whole team and we are working together to achieve our goal.
The most exciting thing I've done this summer was spend Fourth of July in Washington DC with a few of my friends. We watched fireworks and they were awesome!
We continue to work hard every day and we are very excited for the upcoming season. Hope you all are as well! Go Blue Hens.
July 9, 2014
Hey Blue Hen Fans!! These last couple of weeks have been very interesting and fun for me. Two weeks ago, Erika Brown and I were called out to do the cold water challenge called "#Chillin4Charity." My best friend Deidra Smith, who plays for San Diego State University, was the person that nominated me to do this challenge, so of course I had to accept. All the coaches got called out to do the challenge as well so we all did it during camp at the BOB in front of all the campers. The water was absolutely freezing, but luckily it was only one cooler of water compared to the cold tubs that we take that is just a splash. I definitely enjoyed pouring the water on the coaches more than getting the water poured on me.
Since the Fourth of July fell on a Friday this year my sister and I decided to spend the long weekend in Durham, North Carolina where my parents live. My Aunt, Uncle and four of my cousins were also in town so I got to spend some quality time with them at the Fourth of July fair that they have in Raleigh. After we were done at the fair we had a little cookout on the rooftop patio at the building where my mom works, and of course we did what most Americans do on the Fourth and watched the fireworks outside.
The Saturday after the Fourth of July was also an amazing day because my mom, and my sister, my cousin and I went on a Segway tour of Raleigh, North Carolina. I have never rode a Segway in my life so they taught us how to use them for like an hour before we actually went out. Once we got the hang of it the tour guide took us out and had us riding all around downtown Raleigh telling us about different landmarks and history of the city. The Segways were so fun to ride that I was sad when the tour was over and I had to get off.
I spent the rest of the weekend in NC hanging out with my family watching the World Cup and the Wimbledon. My sister and I didn't leave North Carolina until Monday and went straight from there to Manassas, VA (where I'm from) to get ready for the On the Run Tour in Baltimore. The On the Run tour is the summer concert with Jay-Z and Beyoncé performing together. I am absolutely obsessed with Beyoncé so you can only imagine how excited I was to be going to this concert. The concert was AMAZING... I knew pretty much every lyric to every song that was performed and I was singing so loud you would think I was performing.
Now that the weekend is over I'm back in Delaware working out and working as an office assistant at the UD academic center of enrichment. The summer is flying by but I'm trying to enjoy it while it last.... Hope you guys are enjoying your summer too!!

While this is humor, what the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department is doing to golf courses is incredible. All new courses and any existing holes that are significantly redone will have to be fully handicapped accessible. Players utilizing special carts will have to be able to traverse the entire hole. This means the traps as well as the greens. I understand that the design of the approved cart is not final but the courses being built will have to accommodate that final design, whatever it is.

I made this for the banana cream pie. This turned out beautifully, and I'll make it again for sure. I cut the sugar to 1/4 cups as suggested by other reviewer, and I used low fat milk, which worked out fine. I did add an additonal tbs of cornstarch to compensate for the milk, and it thickened perfectly. I forgot to add the butter at the end and didn't realize until it was already chilled, but it tasted so great, I doubt I'll add it next time--why mess with a good thing and add the extra fat?

(Reuters) - Pittsburgh Steelers' linebacker James Harrison was suspended one game for a dangerous helmet-to-helmet hit on Cleveland Browns quarterback Colt McCoy, the National Football League (NFL) announced on Tuesday.
Harrison was penalized for roughing the passer during last Thursday's game, won 14-3 by the Steelers, but the NFL added a one-game ban because of his previous indiscretions.
A repeat offender, Harrison was fined four times between 2009 and 2010 for illegal hits on quarterbacks. He was also fined on two other occasions for unnecessary roughness.
The NFL has recently introduced new rules to protect quarterbacks from late hits.
The one-game suspension meant Harrison would miss Monday's game against the 49ers in San Francisco, where a victory for the Steelers, last season's AFC Conference champions, would secure their place in this season's playoffs.
Harrison, already a two-time Super Bowl winner with the Steelers, was also banned from training with the team until his suspension was served.
Under NFL rules, the 33-year-old Harrison was given three days to lodge an appeal against the suspension.

Bancroft (Ontario) -Team Yokohama's rally driver Antoine L'Estage and co-driver Nathalie Richard completed the 2012 North American Rally Cup and the Canadian Rally Championship with another podium finish, coming in second place at the Rally of the Tall Pines. This second place finish, combined with four previous victories and another second place finish earlier this year, confirms their 2012 Canadian and North American rally championship titles. For Team Yokohama, this just adds to an exceptional 2012 season. "I would have liked to finish the season with another win, but we were a bit unlucky at this last event," said L'Estage, who along with co-driver Richard, locked up the Canadian championship last month and finished with more than double the points of their closest rival. "We had an absolutely fantastic season in Canada, winning four rallies and coming in second in the other two. It really is a testament to how well everything worked again this year - the car, the mechanics, our Yokohama tires, and us. We're thrilled to have added several more championship titles to our resume." "Tall Pines is always a unpredictable rally, hard on the cars and very tricky with icy gravel roads. Our results here cap off a stellar 2012 season in which we attained all of our primary goals," adds co-driver Nathalie Richard. The rally team will return to the Canadian Rally Championship again next year in February at the Rallye Perce-Neige in Maniwaki, Quebec. Antoine L'Estage now holds five North American championship titles (2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012), five Canadian titles (2006, 2007, 2010, 2011, 2012), one American title (2010), and thirty-seven overall victories in Canada and the U.S. Nathalie Richard holds eight overall national championship titles (2004, 2007, 2010, 2011, 2012 in Canada and 2004, 2005, 2010 in the U.S.), as well as forty-three overall rally wins on both sides of the border. She also holds a record eight North American Co-Driving Championship titles (2004 - 2012, excluding 2006). L'Estage and Richard participate in the 2012 Rally America and Canadian Rally Championships with the support of Yokohama Tires, Mitsubishi Canada, CanadaRockstar Energy Drink, Formica Group, Fenetres Concerto, Drenth Motorsport Gearboxes, Energie Cardio, VP Racing Fuels, Exe-Tc Suspensions, Hawk Performance Brake Pads, Driver's Edge Autosport, and Libra Racing.

You can only imagine my dismay to learn that we'd be leaving Fargo only 12 days ago when the temp had dipped to minus 12-or-15 degrees. I was destined for Naples Florida and I was leaving behind skies that would soon be snowy and sundog ridden for sunshine, palm trees, pelicans, osprey and dolphins. Snow or sunshine. We settled on the latter.
On another travel front: It was implausible, but, being labeled "TSA-Checked" is pretty nice, but, quite unsettling. It means we've been labeled "harmless" or unable to do anything bad on the airplane. It allowed us to go, unfettered, through the security line without having to take off shoes or jackets, show laptop or liquids. We didn't even have to raise our arms for the body scan. Since neither of us were used to being treated as we all were in the olden days, we took off our jackets anyway and were told we didn't have to.
Later this week, I'll interview a guy that is a chef at a tiny street side eatery called "3rd Street Café" in Naples. It's a scene of normalcy among the upscale, hoity-toity spots we often visit in that wonderful city by the Gulf. I think we'll have him on Friday at 1:10pm. He promised to share his excellent recipe for potato soup. He also serves some mean black beans and rice on a great breakfast burrito.

A long broken game
Fable: The Journey is biggest Fable ever, first playthrough will take 30 hours
Lionhead are working hard to laid rest to the idea that Fable: The Journey is a casual, throwaway Kinect title. Speaking at last week's Develop conference, Lionhead's creative director Gary Carr (the man that has taken Peter Molyneux's old job) said that The Journey is the biggest Fable game yet and that first-time players will take around 30 hours to complete it.
"We realised [after E3 2011] that people didn't think that we were building a long-form game," said Carr. "This is the biggest Fable game we've ever made by far, you travel around on horseback most of the time and they go pretty fast. If your racing 30 miles through the world, you've got to build a lot of world.
"It's three-times the size of the last Fable we made and it's a beautifully rick game. I play this game every two days, it's my job now to play it and feedback on it. Now I know what I'm doing it takes me about 15 hours to complete, so it's a very lengthy experience."
Carr went on to say that if you're playing for the first time then a complete playthrough will take you about 30 hours, before explaining that it has been a difficult job to convince players that this is another Fable game rather than a 'Kinect Fable game'. Kinect just happens to be the input device this time around, but the game is still very much Fable, he said.

Jarvis Terrell rushed for four touchdowns, leading No. 2 Carrollton past Troup County, 49-12, Thursday night.
Malik Shepparrd also ran for a touchdown, and Will Garrett threw a 65-yard touchdown pass to Dante Wigley for the Trojans, who improve to 6-0 and 3-0 Region 5-AAAA.
Daryl Dunlap rushed for 134 yards and two touchdowns for Troup. Dunlap's rushing touchdowns were the first allowed by Carrollton this season. The Tigers, who lost to No. 1 Sandy Creek last week, fall to 2-4, 1-2 Region 5-AAAA.'
No. 1 Sandy Creek 49, Shaw 0
No. 1 Sandy Creek's defense posted its second straight shutout, and Delvin Weems and Eric Swinney each had two rushing touchdown in the Patriots' 49-0 win over Shaw on Thursday.
Swinney also caught a touchdown, and all three of his scores were over 55 yards. Clemson commitment Demarre Kitt had a touchdown reception, as the Patriots improved to 5-0-1, 3-0 in Region 5-AAAA.
Sandy Creek is at Carrollton on Nov. 1.

The race for the AAAA crown isn't looking so one-sided anymore. i think it's safe to say that whomever wins the Carrollton-Sandy Creek game will be a heavy favorite to it all.

If only two teams are favored to "Win It All" that is STILL lopsided.
Griffin & Statesboro both should be considered favorites.
This years draw for playoff bracket favors Griffin to the Dome.
October 11th, 2013
7:06 am
The region is obviously a 2 horse race but the state championship is not. 6 or 7 teams playing well with the talent to make a run.
AAAA is the best football going this year for sure!
The Sandy Creek – Carrollton game is going to be a good one in a couple of weeks!
Go Trojans!
October 11th, 2013
8:24 am
I like Griffin, but I don't see how the draw favors them going to the dome. Creek has lost 3 times over the last five years and I don't see either bracket as favorable for them to get to the dome. And, I don't see how a quarterfinal match up with Carrollton or Creek would automatically favor Griffin.
October 11th, 2013
8:33 am
Anybody else think Troup putting their first team back in in the fourth quarter was a total lack of class? Yardage and a td against reserves are meaningless. This game was over in the first quarter. Griffin favored over the teams ranked above them? A contender,yes;favored,no-not at this point of the season. Same for Statesboro.

@patriot do u think Monroe area can beat Creek this year?
October 12th, 2013
8:39 am
B1-9: Monroe may be the best team in AAAA-BUT there is no way of telling at this time – the schedule is just too weak,no quality competetion.To beat Creek,Carrollton or any of the other contenders a team will have to have a big strong line to compete.
October 12th, 2013
8:58 am
Monroe seems to be doing this year what it was doing last year, clubbing baby seals. They really need to schedule tougher teams for their non-region schedule because their region isn't the toughest out there. Other than Carrollton and us, our region isn't that tough, but we scheduled three much larger schools to play in our first three games. IMHO, the only team that can beat the Creek this year is Carrollton.
October 12th, 2013
12:28 pm
Patriot-too early to tell if Carrollton is only team that can beat the creek-Creek is still the undefeated champions until someone changes that and no one will be favored to do that. I agree on scheduling-most regions are weak after the first couple of teams so to guage progress and get better a team must schedule stronger non-region competetion. Dont use the "nobody wants to play us" excuse;if SC,Carrollton&Burke can find strong foes anybody can.
October 12th, 2013
5:57 pm
Ok, cool!,yeah the teams they play are not that good! They got speed but kids haven't been hit yet!
October 13th, 2013
3:20 pm
For the other Teams in AAAA, playoffs should be a lot of fun. @Monroe Area don't talk to Carrollton. Sandy Creek and Griffin about speed because these teams have speed for days. Statesboro is going to line up and run it down your throat. So who ever beats these teams is going to need some big boys in the trenches to open holes for the speed guys and to allow the speed guys on defense to fly around and make plays. Also, watch out for Marist!

Trojan '85 No one from Monroe posted anything about speed. Just because you said, we will be sure not to "talk to Carrollton. Sandy Creek and Griffin about speed". In actuality, I'm the first fan to post here, we working on a defense and a passing package, said nothing about speed.
Monroe comes a little more experienced than last year. Basically the same team, nearly every skill position remained. They have 22 seniors.
"Monroe seems to be doing this year what it was doing last year, clubbing baby seals"
Last year, MA comes back in the 4th to win by 4 against Stephens County. This year, 47-0 at the half.
One thing is for sure, all anyone has to do is say "Monroe Area " and most of you got plenty of negative replies. Congratulations with that.

@PurpleLuv, didn't mean any harm its just that speed is one thing Carrollton takes prides in . We are just happy this year to have size to go with the speed. Good luck on the rest of your season and hope to see you guys sometime in the playoffs.
