ACHE Congress: Change and Caution Abundant
These investments are a calculated risk, as hospital and health system leaders are hoping to replace some of the revenue loss that will happen as they attempt to keep patients out of the high-cost environment of the acute-care hospital. Most are expecting a revenue cut of about 20% over time as commercial rates settle toward Medicare reimbursement rates.
Urbana, IL–based Carle Foundation Hospital and Carle Physician Group, which merged three years ago, currently has 21 openings for advanced practice providers and expects to hire 40 more over the next few years. These people are difficult to find but necessary to improve access.
Bob Edmondson, chief strategy officer for Westminster, MD.-based Carroll Hospital Center, has invested heavily in disease management experts and patient navigators, but is unsure whether the accountable care organization route is right for his organization. Yet Carroll and other hospitals often face a new threat of competition from many fronts, including physicians.
"Are we going to go toward ACOs, or are we just going to be a part of one? In some markets, health insurers are running them. Cigna is setting up 300 nationwide," says Edmondson. And physicians can form ACOs, too, if they have the critical mass. "This is a real red flag. If the physicians can get their act together and collaborate, they will be formidable."
By next year's ACHE Congress, when most of the provisions of the PPACA have been implemented, healthcare executives will begin to see whether their investments are paying off, in the form of wringing waste and inefficiency from a healthcare system that is very rapidly becoming unaffordable.

On June 25, 2014, the Supreme Court ruled that streaming television service, Aereo, violated U.S. copyright law. In American Broadcasting Companies v. Aereo, Inc., the Court overruled the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, holding that Aereo performs TV broadcasters works publicly within the meaning of the 1976 Copyright Act (the "Act").

Raging Bull is a cult classic boxing film that depicts the life story of Jake Lamotta, a hard-charging, volatile boxer from the Bronx. The film was directed by Martin Scorsese and starred Robert Deniro as Lamotta, a role which garnered Deniro an Academy Award for best actor.
A copyright infringement case involving Raging Bull that has wound its way through the courts recently took "center ring" at the U.S. Supreme Court. In the case, Petrella v. Metro-Goldwyn Mayer, Inc., the Court considered the question of whether the doctrine of laches is available as a defense to copyright infringement. On May 19, 2014, Justice Ginsberg issued a 6-3 opinion holding that laches is not a defense to a claim for copyright damages. Justices Breyer, Roberts and Kennedy dissented. Read More ›

The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals has recently affirmed a decision stating that many of the older Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle are in the public domain. The court held that just because later versions of a character are still protected by copyright, does not mean that the copyrights in those earlier stories continue to exist beyond the copyright term. The Doyle estate argued that the later stories added to the "complexity" of the characters and should provide some measure of protection. Read More ›

Ryan Hart is the former starting quarterback for Rutgers University. In addition to setting a number of school records and leading his team to its first bowl appearance since 1978, Hart has added a victory in the courtroom against Electronic Arts ("EA") to his list of accomplishments. In their NCAA Football series, EA Sports provides users with a realistic gameplay experience. Part of this realistic experience is characters that resemble real-life players. So when a player chooses Rutgers, the quarterback is number 13, is 6'2", weighs 197 pounds, and appears wearing a visor and an armband on his left wrist—the resemblance to Ryan Hart is nearly exact. In October of 2009, Hart filed suit against EA Sports for violating his right of publicity by using his appearance in the game. Read More ›

Crowdfunding, some would say, is the new social networking platform of raising money from people online. While crowdfunding is a relatively new term and concept, traditional principles of law still apply. Artists, startups and online creators using this new platform are governed by Intellectual Property principles.
Intellectual Property (IP) refers to the creations of the mind; and most commonly include ideas or inventions, literary and artistic works, symbols that identify your brand, names, logos and/or competitive business ideas or information. Under this broad umbrella of Intellectual Property, there are generally four categories that govern the use of Intellectual Property:
Before pitching or disclosing your concept to an online crowdfunding community to raise money these four categories of protection and the potential resulting consequences should be thoroughly examined. Failure to do so could result in the inadvertent theft, infringement or forfeiture of your IP rights. Let's take a deeper look at these four categories. Read More ›

The Commercial Felony Streaming Act (S.978) is pending introduction to the United States Senate. If S.978 is passed, it would make the unauthorized streaming of copyrighted material a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.
The potential passage of S.978 has sparked fears that artists like Justin Bieber (who began his quest toward pop stardom by singing covers on YouTube!) could end up in jail. DemandProgress.org has even argued that S.978 could shut down Twitter, YouTube! and other popular sites. Read More ›

What is "intellectual property" and why should it matter to your business? At the most basic level, "intellectual property" is one of an organization's most valuable assets. Intellectual property frequently differentiates extraordinary companies from "average" organizations. For that reason, IP must be zealously protected. IP breaks down into four areas: patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. Read More ›

Extraordinary El Nino event very unlikely
201, 7 July, Temperatures in Peru's Pacific peaked in June, rising 3 degrees Celsius (5.4 Fahrenheit) above average levels, but have since retreated and will likely return to normal by August, the state committee that studies El Nino said. "The possibility of us seeing an extraordinary Nino is ruled out," said German Vasquez, the head of the committee.

It's true that sometimes people just suck. Take the case of a Dairy Queen customer in Hopkins, Minn., who last week stole a $20 bill from a blind man when he dropped it unknowingly on the floor. It's also true, however, that there are some really awesome human beings in the world, like Dairy Queen Manager, Joey Prusak, who saw the whole slimy act go down and responded in the most amazing way.
According to ABC, when Prusak, 19, first saw the woman bend down and scoop up the man's money, he thought surely she would just hand it back to him. When she put it in her purse instead, he wasn't going to stand for it.
He first asked her to return it, but she actually said no and tried to make up a story that it was really hers. Prusak called b.s. on that. He told ABC:
I told her 'Ma'am, you can either return the $20 bill or you can leave the store, because I'm not going to serve someone as disrespectful as you.'
She didn't take kindly to that, made somewhat of a scene, and left ... with the $20. If Prusak had stopped there, it still would have been an admirable thing to do. He could have just looked the other way, or decided not to get involved, but he did, and good for him. Then he went even further.
He approached the blind man, and gave him $20 from his own pocket. But he didn't tell that man that, instead he just told him he'd dropped it. He didn't want a thank you, he just did what he thought was right with no desire for accolades.
A customer who saw the whole thing happen thought he deserved some accolades, however, and wrote a letter to the store's owner, who then hung it up in the store. Someone then posted it on Reddit, and it's since gone viral, warming the hearts of all who read his story and restoring at least a little of our faith in humanity.
Joey, however, remains humble about the whole thing. He told Fox:
It wasn't anything I wouldn't have done on any other day. I hope everyone else would have done the same thing -- which I think 99 out of 100 people would have.
Unfortunately, I'm not so sure that's true. But way to go, Joey.
What's the best random act of kindness you've witnessed lately?
Image via Fox
Gosh, that was a great warm & fuzzy :)
I was going to say I haven't seen anything warm & fuzzy in awhile...but then I remember walking through a door that was held open by young child---he ran ahead of me just to open the door for me...after thanking him--I kept that smile on my face a long time.
Great story! I haven't witnessed any random acts of kindness lately, unfortunately. Good people are few and far between these days. It seems like everyone's raised without manners.
Every once in a while you actuall can read a story that can put a smile one your face and keep it there. Thanks to this young man I now have that smile. : )
This young man is a roll model! It's good to know there are people like that out there!
I've been out of work for a while now for a serious back injury that I am having surgery for very shortly. Anyhow, I was at a circle k recently and asked a man if he had 15 cents so I could get a soda (I had been vomiting and really needed to put some bubbly in my tummy, but was short on money), the man proceeded to give me ten dollars! I kept telling him that no, really, I only needed 15 cents, but he wouldn't take no for an answer! I was so broke, and so impressed with his act of kindness that I actually cried! I bought a soda and put the rest in the gas tank. Some people are still good!
What Joyce said :)
I create a special savings account
I put a little away at a time
I cut corners until I can afford it
Save? Who has money to save?
I plan to put it on my credit card and love the benefits of the reward program

DataViz as Art: Epic Easter Eggs (USA Today Weekend)
As a young child, I loved to dye Easter Eggs. We tried to be as creative as possible and would try to make one half one color and the other half another color. Sometimes we would try to be real tricky and add a middle color, which was no easy task with the paper clip-like dipper.
I was reading USA Today Weekend this morning and saw these creatively painted eggs by USA Today Weekend readers. I feel in data visualization a story can be told many ways. Each one of these eggs tells you a story by its visual appearance.
I wish you a Happy Easter, Happy Passover and good wishes all around.

Infographic: What is actually in fruitcake?
I love fruitcake. For the past 25+ years, I have been buying fruitcakes from The Collin Street Bakery that is world-renowned for its fruitcakes. The business, opened in 1896, is located in Corsicana, Texas and ships to all 50 states, U.S. possessions and 195 foreign lands. The Bakery is the recipient of the president's coveted "E-Award."
Some of the characteristics of their fruitcake are:
- Each fruitcake is the perfect balance of native pecans (27%), shelled in Corsicana, Texas.
- Hand-picked Golden sweet pineapple and lush papaya, from our own farms in Costa Rica.
- Ripe, red cherries from Oregon and Washington State.
- Pure clover honey, plump golden raisins.
- Refrigerated, the Deluxe fruitcake stays moist and delicious for months.
Fruitcake has been a Christmas staple for decades. And it has been a mystery to people for just as long. The age-old question surrounding fruitcake is always, "Just what is it that I'm actually eating…?" In the spirit of Christmas and holiday traditions, I found this infographic by lemonly.com that dissects the fruitcake. We know there are lots of fruitcake recipes out there, but here is just one example of all the ingredients that can go into the elusive Christmas "treat." Grab a fork and dive in, everyone! Let them eat (fruit)cake!
Day Seven of My Seven Days of Christmas Infographics: Christmas by the Numbers
Day Six of My Seven Days of Christmas Infographics: The Cost of the Twelve Days of Christmas
Most Americans can probably easily rattle off the 12 days of Christmas. The song recounts someone giving their significant other some incredibly odd gifts for the course of 12 days during Christmas time. I'm not sure what use I personally would have with "six geese a laying" or "seven swans a swimming" but I'm sure at some point in history these would have been incredibly romantic gestures.
And, apparently, expensive ones.
The Atlantic's Derek Thompson recently published this amazing infographic showing the true cost of the 12 days of Christmas, also highlighting the fact that thanks to inflation, how the 12 days of Christmas have become increasingly costly over the course of the past 30 years.
Apparently the cheapest gift to get your lover off of this list are the "eight maids a milking" which will only cost you 58 bucks. Both the "nine ladies dancing" and "11 pipers piping" however, will set you back nearly eight grand.
If any of you are looking to buy me something nice this Christmas, I suppose I'd settle for the "two turtle doves." At $125 this seems to be a sensible present.

Scouts get 60 Christmas trees after theft
TCM planning great directors festival
Studio head Frank Capra Jr. dead at 73
Book lists 'Kane' as world's No. 1 movie
Key 'Wonderful Life' scene was salvaged
U.S. medical cartoons make comeback
Frank Russell Capra (May 18, 1897 – September 3, 1991) was a Sicilian-born American film director. He emigrated to the U.S. when he was six, and eventually became a creative force behind major award-winning films during the 1930s and 1940s. His rags-to-riches story, having worked his way through college, has led film historians like Ian Freer to consider Capra the "American dream personified."
Capra became America's most powerful director during the 1930s, winning 3 Oscars as Best Director. Among his leading films was It Happened One Night (1934), which became the first film to win all five top Oscars, including Best Picture. Other leading films included Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936), Lost Horizon (1937), You Can't Take It With You (1938), Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939), Meet John Doe (1941), Arsenic and Old Lace (1944), It's a Wonderful Life (1946) and State of the Union (1948). Because of his early fame as a director, his name was listed "above the title" of his films when they were publicized. People "flocked to the theaters" during the 1930s and 1940s to see films directed by Frank Capra.
After World War II, however, Capra's career declined as his subjects were more out of tune with the mood of audiences. Critics described his films as being "simplistic" or "overly idealistic". However, the public nonetheless loved his films, especially during the Great Depression years, when audiences needed uplifting themes of inspiration. His pictures let viewers witness "a triumph of the individual over corrupt leaders", and experience "inherent qualities of kindness and caring for others." Most of his best works have been revived, and are today considered timeless fables filled with love and respect for the struggles of the common man.

A pair of sisters in Britain were probably excited enough when they became pregnant around the same time, but I doubt they expected to give birth within a day of each other! Natalie and Rhiannon Perllman were actually due one month apart, but they must be incredibly connected, because Rhiannon went into labor mere hours after Natalie did. Isn't that wild?
Going through pregnancy and labor together seems like the ultimate sibling bonding experience, especially since these two even wound up sharing a maternity suite at the hospital. How fun is that? Doing the labor and delivery thing in a room with your sister sure beats having a random hospital roommate.
Both women had healthy and happy babies, and they are already looking forward to celebrating birthdays and milestones together as the years go on.
And these cousins will have quite a story to tell, considering how amazing it is that they were born so close together even though they should have been a month apart. Natalie delivered her twins four weeks early on March 17, while Rihannon's baby girl born on the 18th actually showed up 10 days late. If you do the math, the odds of them both going into labor at the same time are pretty slim! These little ones must have been destined to make their entrance into the world together, because this is just way too cute a story to be a mere coincidence.
Do you have any pregnant friends or family members with a due date that falls near yours?
Image via Greencolander/Flickr
My sister, my sister-in-law, and I all had due dates within 8 weeks of each other. My DS2 was born first, SIL's baby boy 11 days later, and sister's baby girl 6 weeks later. We all told my parents we were pregnant within days of each other - unplanned, because we were all unaware we were pregnant together until that point.
We have a really cute pic of the three of us hugely pregnant side by side.
When I was pregnant with my youngest dd, a friend of mine was due one month later with her dd. I got stuck on bed rest for the last month, then she followed suit. But they weren't born in the same month though, as expected. My dd was born towards the end April and her dd was born in the first part of May.
very coool!
Thats pretty cool. I was pregnant with some of my friends. At our church these were 8 babies born within a month of each other.

dave davies was taking high tea with his friend brian wilson when a hidden hydrogen bomb went off in the biscuits and they floated up to heaven, and while they floated the clouds sang melodious lines like, "dixey hangs with a tricky lot of cowards," and "your weak spine can't handle all my ways of soft destruction." and just then, voila, dave and brian realized they were in a lilys song about tennis and constellations. this very song! do you know the lilys? i hadn't until recently, and i'm glad i do. and once again i give thanks to kat.

It's always fun to wake up and find yourself looking at a new port as the ship eases slowly into the harbour. This happened this morning as we arrived at Palermo, which seemed very close to the ship. I wasn't feeling too good as the cold which had been developing over the past few days had decided to strike in full force today – cloudy head, streaming nose, coughing – the works. Still, that cannot stop me when there's a new port to be explored!
We had a quick breakfast and suitably dosed up with anti-cold agents, we headed to the Eclipse Theatre to pick up our tour group for Palermo on your Own – three stops over the morning. However, the traffic in Palermo is both thick and crazy, which makes for very slow journeys anywhere so what I thought would be four hours turned into six hours. We started with a city tour, along narrow and congested streets, full of people, cars, buses and scooters, like most Italian cities. This is a city of 800,000 people, but it feels like a city of 10 million people.
We crawled out of the city to Monreale for our first top to see a cathedral, and arrived along with several other tour buses. An old town, with a lovely square in front of the cathedral, which was build by Norman king William II. This is a cathedral very different from others we have seen, and apparently one of the best examples of Normal architecture in Sicily. Very gold but not in the sense of the ornate gold of Roman cathedrals, but in the artwork and decoration – the tiling was elaborate, colourful and detailed. We sat here for a while just looking, and not terribly disturbed by the plethora of tour groups which kept moving through the space. Two Euro for admission here, because we were with a tour group, otherwise it was four Euro.
Outside, we wandered a little, and decided to get a cup of tea, but not many speak English here, and we still haven't worked out the ordering protocol but eventually found a small cafe where we order cappaccino and tea – which I learned was tecardo in Italian. The woman who served us was lovely, and when she bought it out, I smiled and said perfect, and she looked very relieved because I think we both weren't sure I'd ordered what I wanted – but I was happy to accept what I got. I left her a tip – I called it a pain bonus, for having to put up with us tourists who can't speak much of the language.
We wandered a bit more. It was a lovely old town, but small, and since we weren't interested in shopping, we headed back to the bus, along with several other hundred tourists. Back on the bus, Alan decided to sit in the front seat, a different place to where we had been sitting earlier, and we were to discover that this was a major sin in the minds of the people who had been sitting there before.
Back into the traffic, and to the Cathedral in Palermo. We passed through Porto Nuovo, a gate in the city wall which was impressive. The cathedral was impressive, as are they all, and we spent some time there wandering and avoiding the clusters of tour groups listening intently through their headphones and looking to the ceilings as their guides point.
We headed back outside and checked out the Dioscesan Museum which looked like it would have been a good place to visit, but we didn't have enough time. We headed back to the bus and reclaimed our front row seat – bad mistake, as we must have annoyed the previous occupants even more.
The next stop was Mondello, the beach, with promises of the famed Sicilian ice-cream. More crawling through traffic, and then we emerged on to a long straight road through a park, in the right section of which, the guide proudly told us, were foxes and rabbits – okay….that must be cultural because rabbits are treated as vermin back in Australia.
The beach was lovely, the sky blue, the water even bluer, and the ice cream was very good. Here Celebrity gave us a ticket for a free bottle of water from a local bar, which then generated a lot of lunch traffic for them, as people sat and relaxed. We walked along the beach, marvelling at the brown bodies on the beach, lying there to get browner. There was sun screen in use, but the desire to get a tan to this degree is so frowned upon now in Australia that I was surprised – might be because I'm old of course!
The houses here were large and impressive – similar I think to some of the more elite spots on the Mornington Peninsula near Melbourne. Back to the bus, to discover that the occupants of the front seat had re-claimed it by putting their bag on it. Chuckling to ourselves, we retreated to the very back of the bus for the return journey home. I decided that it must be a British thing that once you sit in a seat, it's regarded as yours, and that we had committed a very bad social faux pas by taking it away from them. Oh dear….
I was glad to get back to the ship – it had been a long day, and I was now fighting off a sinus headache as well. The tour had not what I had expected, thanks mainly to the traffic which just seemed to zap energy even though we weren't driving. On the way back from Monreale, we passed a traffic accident with a car and a bike. The car's windscreen was smashed where the bike rider had hit it, and there were bloody towels on the road. It didn't look good, and I'm just surprised there aren't more accidents given the apparent disdain drivers here seem to have for one another's safety. But, as the tour director had said that morning, Italy is the land of whatever!
Lunch and then paracetamol and sleep – the only way for me to beat the sinus headache. Alan woke me at 6pm, headache just about gone, so we headed down to dinner. Filet Mingon for dinner tonight – absolutely wonderful. Alan was critical of the idea of lobster ravioli but our dinner companions asked for one to try – they brought three. They were large and had lobster pieces in them, so Alan had to eat his criticism. We were seated next to some new people tonight and we talked – well, he talked – about Australia, BBQs, New Zealand and cruising. The tables in Blu are for two, but quite close together, so it is like you are at a long communal table.
We finished the night with a couple of laps around the walking track. Alan watched a horrible French movie about Algeria (with subtitles), and I took more paracetamol and watched as we navigated the narrow Messina Strait between Sicily and the Italian mainland – memories of the Eastern Mediterranean cruise in 2008 when we stopped in Messina surfaced – before I fell asleep.

can i ask why you quit the band?
i had seen way more than i ever dreamed of, i had gone above and beyond my expectations with the band. it started to lose its excitement. when it was all on us and it was more diy it was more fun. there was no pressure, no worries we could just be 5 friends and play music together. things change though. i needed to change course. it wasnt for me anymore. i felt like asking for more than what we got was greedy, i should just be happy with the fact that i went above and beyond my expectations. im loving the shit out of home life. job, money, girlfriend, friends, its amazing. i have no regrets man, music will still be around but being in a legit band with labels and record sales and blah blah blah takes ALL the fun out of it. i wanna do something fun again.
I heard a rumor that you weren't on tour with counterparts in Europe/had quit the band, what's up with that dude?
i quit the band after our record came out
Just to set the record straight, I am no longer a member of Counterparts. The last 5 years have been the best I'll ever know, Eric Bazinet Jesse DoreenBrendan Murphy Kelly Alexander Bilan as well as Ryan Juntilla and Chris Needham all had a hand in truly showing me the time of my life. I'll never forget it and I thank you guys so much for taking me on this journey with you. Unfortunately, its time for me to take a different path in life and its all for the better. I followed my dreams and it paid off completely, no regrets. Thank you to everyone who showed support to the band and the 3 records we put out together, the last one in peticular being one of the most exhausting but rewarding efforts of my entire life. I'm playing one last hamilton show with the band on december 6th at the underground,COUNTERPARTS, LIFERUINER, EXALT, THREE CROWNS @ THE UNDERGROUND ALL AGES so friends and family, come out and make this special for me one last time.
did you get asked to play scenefest this year in St Catharines?
I think we might have, I'm not sure though. We went to Australia instead I'm pretty sure.
Hey man, what kinds of pedals do you use to make all those crazy noises?
Delays and filter modelers all with cranked settings, loop station and an octave fuzz pedal all help in the creation of my noise ahah.

text: We recently noticed a lot of spots in pictures we were taking with our Nikon D80 camera. A quick Google search suggested we needed to clean dust off the mirrors and the other internal components. "Canned air" works well for cleaning dust out of nooks and crannies that all electronic devices have, but there are problems with it. Have you ever held the nozzle a little too close to your device? You'll see an area of frost left behind, if you do. When the frost evaporates, there's often residue left behind. We didn't want to risk damaging anything inside the camera, so we decided to look for something safer. Giottos, a manufacturer of photographic equipment, had just what we needed. Their Rocket Air Blasters are designed to clean delicate camera equipment with a puff of room temperature air, so you don't have to worry about damage from the extremely cold air. The Rocket Air Blasters come in three sizes, small (shown on the right), medium, and large (shown on the left). They are made from natural rubber, and they have a one-way valve to prevent the Rocket from pulling in dusty air and redepositing it. We tried the large size, and it cleaned out the dust from our camera with only a couple of puffs. We keep the large one at home and bought a small one to keep in our camera bag. Amazon carries all three sizes of the Rocket Air Blasters for $9-10 each.

Inspector General Says FBI Overstepped Counterterror Powers
Report identifies numerous intelligence-gathering violations
_Order training and education for FBI field offices that were given expanded authority to issue the letters without headquarters' review. The report said many agents were confused or uncertain about the ground rules and that lawyers weren't required to review requests for the letters. That review is now mandatory.
_Require internal controls and more levels of review so that any privacy breach could be spotted immediately and systemic remedies could be implemented.
Mueller said the bureau dropped its use of "exigent letters" for phone records last May.
But the National Security Letters, he said, are "the bread and butter" of FBI counterterrorism investigations, noting that they'd helped agents develop a case against a former sailor accused of transmitting classified information to a suspected terrorist financier and in uncovering a number of cells supporting al Qaida in the United States. A letter can be issued for information if it's believed to be relevant to an investigation.
Suspicious patterns found in phone records can then lead to a request to a special national security court for a warrant to conduct electronic surveillance.
But Anthony Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union, said the inspector general's report "confirms our greatest suspicions" and called the findings "the tip of the iceberg."
He noted that the FBI looked at only 293 requests for National Security Letters and, in auditing 77 investigative files, found one or more possible violations in 17 of them, or 17 percent.
Noting that Gonzales has defended warrantless spying as legal, Romero said the attorney general "lacks the credibility, political will and the independence" to remedy the problem.
A separate report by the inspector general on the FBI's ability to obtain library and business records found scant problems.

The Los Angeles Lakers had a terrible season last year. There were many contributing factors to the team's struggles, one of them being players refusing to buy into the system and not accepting their roles. According to head coach Mike D'Antoni, Dwight Howard was one of the culprits.
Howard never was completely healthy and refused to buy into his role. He fancied himself as a dominating low-post force the offense should run through.
"There was just a lot of conflict, emotionally," D'Antoni said. "People were not settled in their roles. But it's funny because a lot of times players will say 'I don't know my role.' It's not that you don't know it, you just don't accept it."
Howard never accepted his, although appeasing him as a prominent low-post option also wasn't practical because he simply wasn't healthy enough to carry that load.
Howard has often stressed that he wants to operate in the low-post, even though he can be a whole lot more effective in different variations of pick-and-rolls. Many expected Howard and Steve Nash to utilize that, but it was a relatively rare sight.
Now Howard will be headed to the Houston Rockets, who are predominantly a pick-and-roll team. A huge chunk of the team's offense came in high pick-and-rolls with Omer Asik and James Harden, and with Howard in the mix it would be silly not to utilize his strength and athleticism. Howard still seems determined to work with Hakeem Olajuwon in order to develop a solid post-game but he should also be featured in a lot of pick-and-roll action.

How to dance.
happy birthday Angel and sorry the rush sketch I have class at 1:00
For all lovers of D-Coy!
Dance Central character named Dare.
Just wanted to contribute some art to the fandom XD
*weeps bitterly*
I was supposed to be super productive today but somehow got sidetracked. as usual xD;;
my fabulous dance central cosplay group. <3 i love you all! :DD
No. That is blackface and it is NOT okay. It's inappropriate and it's offensive and it's wrong.
Yes bless you for saying this. There is no excuse for this.
Now I really don't see how you believe that colouring their skin is offensive. In no way are we ridiculing anyone who is black, nor are inappropriate stereotypes being played on, because this isn't blackfacing in the first place. Wouldn't it be more insulting if they didn't blackface, and practically insult the character's designs? Wouldn't it be offensive if they decided "I won't colour my skin because I don't want to be black, even though that is who the character is"?
Shouldn't in this case, if you believe that colouring your own skin a different colour is offensive, dark skinned people not be allowed to cosplay a character outside of their race? Wouldn't it also mean that light skinned people cannot tan, or dark skinned people cannot try to lighten their skin because that's not "their colour"? In most cosplays, westerners are cosplaying as Asian characters (Mostly Japanese if we stick true to animes in Japanese settings), so why are there no complaints about westerner cosplaying Asians? Why isn't it offensive in that case?
Colouring your skin to make yourself appear dark skinned would only be offensive if the people who did it walked around and milked out horrible stereotypes and spouted the word nigger every chance they get with the excuse of "Oh I'm cosplaying a black character which means I'm allowed to do it", which most certainly never happened the whole time with us.
What's inappropriate about staying true to a character by means of clothes, attitude, race, and personality? Almost no one freaked out when Robert Downey Jr. blackfaced for a movie, and some didn't even notice!
I would like to honestly hear your opinions on exactly why you believe this is offensive. Whether you decide to message me or respond directly on this post is up to you, and even outside opinions would be accepted.
Again, I rarely get involved in this kind of stuff, but I am really shocked and appalled by the lack of understanding and racial insensitivity here. Seriously. I will absolutely respond to this point by point.
I would like to begin by having my friend Lindsay, a black female cosplayer, respond after seeing these pictures of the cosplay group.
"…White people. My fucking lord."
That kind of sums it up in a simple way, but let's dig into this.
Yes, this is blackface. No, it isn't blackface in the traditional, intentionally racist, intent. But does that make it any less offensive to do? No. Bad things can be done with good intentions. It doesn't make the people bad, because they were ignorant of the issues. That's why education regarding the issue needs to take place. Would it be insulting to the characters if they didn't blackface? No, of course not. What kind of question is that? The decision should be "No, I won't color my skin because I don't want to do something with such a loaded history in America's terrible, racist past."
This has nothing to do with not being able to cosplay as characters outside of your race. There are beautiful black cosplayers that dress up as Sailor Moon characters for example, and it's lovely. You just do not do things that have negative cultural significance and are offensive to people of color just to cosplay. There are white people that can dress up as Glitch, like in the image above. She's dressing up as an Asian character, and it's fine! Why? She didn't yellow-face herself. She didn't slant her eyes and use really yellow make up like THIS example of yellow-face:
THIS is offensive. Surely, you understand.
You do not have to have bad intentions to do something racist. I think this is a part that many people have to understand. Just because you did something racist does not mean you are a bad person. The point when I turn my attention to you is when you refuse to understand and acknowledge that you did something offensive. It is fine to accidentally do something bad. You didn't know, you were educated about the issue, and apologize. However, pushing back and refusing to acknowledge that it is a problem is offensive. Again, if you saying that this isn't a problem, you just might BE part of the problem. I personally dislike making this association, but there's a thing called "White Privilege". White people really don't know what it feels like to BE another race. To have people appropriate your cultural features as costumes and be the butt of jokes and stereotypes, and historically exploited. Who are you to tell a person of color that race as an accessory is not offensive? Really.
And your last point about Robert Downey Jr. is completely misguided. Here is a quote about that character from Entertainment Weekly.
"Stiller says that he and Downey always stayed focused on the fact that they were skewering insufferable actors, not African-Americans."
They were making fun of actors that do stupid, offensive things. RDJ was playing a character that was an idiot. The character was stupid and didn't believe that was he was doing was offensive. That was the point of the character.
If there are two things that set me off like a firecracker, it's issues of race and LGBT issues. I absolutely could not hold this back after reading what I just responded to. Please, reflect on this. This is not an attack on any of you, unless you push back and continue to refuse to accept that this is NOT OK. People do racist things on accident all the time. It does not make you a bad person. But what you do afterwards, and how you respond to that?… That might make you a bad person.
(Sending this whole novel to you as well to let you in on some of the extra things I've typed that weren't included in the journal entry. =) )
Hey! I'm jumping into this conversation before it gets farther… (Sorry it took so long, I was studying what the problem was to get a full understanding, and I also slept until… 12:00pm… Rofl.)
All right! I am the apparent leader of this cosplay group, and I am now involving myself because I understand most of it! I've read what a lot of people have to say, and I seriously want to fix this up!
All I ask of you all right now is to clear your mind about what ANY ONE ELSE IN THE GROUP had to say, please? Just listen to me! (They were all upset about what everyone was saying, and let emotions run high.)
None of us meant to upset any of you! The fact that everyone is angry at us over this confirms that we need to stop. We were all stubborn about it initially because we were thinking about accuracy. About staying true to the characters and keeping the costumes completely accurate.
I'll be honest right now and tell you that I have no idea what the fuss is all about. As I literally have no idea what race has to do with anything. I realise you were all put through a lot not too long ago… But I'm a very 'right now' kind of person, and I just love everyone… And don't understand why every one else can't do the same.
BUT. We will DEFINITELY stop what we're doing with this cosplay group because you're all upset about it. I want you to be happy with the group! I really thought you'd all be excited about how there was finally a full Dance Central group… I didn't think we'd all be getting political about it.
I'm really sad that everyone is feeling so angry about this, and I want everyone to talk to me about it! Here are my questions:
1. Is the only thing you need done that we stop painting ourselves? Ist hat all you need? If there's anything else, please tell us and we'll fix it.
2. I painted myself as Angel as well. I'm super white (Norwegian actually.) Please give me all the hate that you've been throwing toward my best friends. Because I'm just as guilty as you think they are. I deserve it too.
3. Please just… Stop being upset! It's all in the past now. Don't post any more! Because we're all people, and none of us like fighting. So, let's put it behind us and make up, all right?
I am going to be extremely blunt with you. Your response reeks of White Privilege. You start by saying you understand most of it, but your words show that you really don't. I appreciate that you apologize for what your friends said when they were angry, but let me point out several things that you have just said to us.
"We will DEFINITELY stop what we're doing with this cosplay group because you're all upset about it."
You're stopping because we're all upset about it? Right there, you're not stopping because you recognize what you did was wrong, or that you are learning more about racial issues and the heavy history or blackface. You're stopping just because WE are upset.
"I didn't think we'd all be getting political about it."
Where do you live that you are that blind to issues of race? Have you ever thought about asking a bunch of black people around you to see what they thought about what you were doing?… Do you even HAVE black people around you? Or do you not associate with any?
"Is the only thing you need done that we stop painting ourselves? Ist hat all you need?"
"The only thing"? "Is that all you need?"
Did you really just say that? Do you know belittling that is? YOU are in a position of privilege as a white person, and you tell people of color, "Oh, is this the only thing that bothers you? This little thing? Is that it? Is that all you need to stop?" This just reinforces what we all think of you. That you have no understanding, no sympathy, no desire to lean about racial issues. You are completely comfortable doing whatever the hell you want in your position of privilege as long as people don't say things that make you sad. It isn't that you want to learn WHY we feel this way. It's that you don't like feeling sad.
"Because I'm just as guilty as you think they are."
As we "THINK" they are? AS WE "THINK" THEY ARE? DID YOU JUST-
With that sentence you put all of the blame on those of us offended. You put the blame of conflict on people of color. You accuse people of color that we "keep thinking everything is racist!" and that all of you white people are completely innocent and that we are overreacting. You are RIDICULOUS. That sentence up there should read "Because I'm just as guilty as they are."
Pft. "think"
"Please just… Stop being upset! It's all in the past now. Don't post any more!"
"Hey colored people, stop being upset at us white people wearing your features as costumes! Stop being upset because we still don't think that we are wrong are you are all overreacting! Stop being upset because we didn't intend to be racist and therefore that means that we are automatically not doing racist things!"
As long as I see people being completely ignorant about issues of race, I will NOT be quiet. I will not be silenced. Especially when your words continue to emphasize how WE, the minority/people of color, are the ones that are wrong when it comes to issues of race like this.
A lovely person sent me this gif on twitter today that I think represents this entire thing pretty nicely.
For people that haven't been keeping up -> tldr:
white people do blackface
people of color are offended
white people go "WE NOT RACIST U R"
people of color get angry and respond with valid points
white people go "lol ok stop arguing, u think u right so watevs, we stop lol"
I understand you're upset, but do you really have to keep going? It was just a mistake. We WEREN'T doing it to make fun. We weren't doing it in an attempt to upset you. And now we're telling you that we're going to stop (which is what everyone was asking for to begin with) and you continue to yell about it? What are you trying to get out of this now? If you need someone to vent toward, please… Go ahead! We can Skype is out, or something. I just don't want you to continue being upset about something that I want to be able to resolve!
I never thought the first conversation with my idol would go this way… What do I have to say to get you to forgive me?
You DO realize I responded to you saying THIS, right?
"I'm really sad that everyone is feeling so angry about this, and I want everyone to talk to me about it! Here are my questions:"
Did you SERIOUSLY just ask why I kept going and responded to you when in your own words, you ASKED for people to answer your questions?
You are upset that people are answering questions that you asked?
No, I'm not. I'm just trying to have a conversation with you that doesn't involve terms like 'white privilege' or 'white ppl'. I know that I happen to be white. But I also know that I didn't do anything to purposely offend you, and I deserve to at least be spoken to with the tiniest bit of respect. It was a mistake. And we now know what was wrong with it, and won't do it again. I'm an understanding human being, and I respond much better to calm speaking than bullying.
Sorry for having to be blunt, and sorry for offending everyone. We will stop.
Oh! Except it DIDN'T stop, did it?
I had no desire to continue talking to you defenders of the blackface after what you posted above. (I had no desire to talk to any of you in the first place, after the blackface was brought to my attention by Heather, but the way some of you talked to Bria and Claire for being CORRECT made my blood boil so I had to.) So I thought I'd leave it at what you said and not comment further. I said what I had to say calmly, was then argued against, made my point more aggressively, and then had you complain against how words like "white privilege" make your feewings hurt.
But then you sent me this on twitter, when I was going to just let this be:
I'm not sure if you're just completely oblivious as to how you're acting or what… but what?
If you have not been paying attention to how things have been flowing in these responses, I was completely calm and rational in my first post. In your response to me, you shifted all blame to those offended, continuing to proclaim that your friends did NOTHING wrong because of intent, when we had explained to you that it was a problem. You said "We get it now, we do!" while uttering words that clearly showed you didn't get it.
Not only did you not even respond to my actual points, you got on my case for the words that I used? "White privilege" makes you uncomfortable? You don't want me to use it? How about the fact that it FITS. Because all you've done is push all accountability off of you and your friends while claiming you "get" why everyone is upset, when you clearly don't. It isn't about cosplaying people of color. It boggles the mind that I even have to explain why blackface is offensive. It boggles my mind even more that you all continue to insist that the blackface your friends did is completely fine and that it is US that continue to "think" things are offensive. That you think this is some kind of fucking "difference of opinion".
Why does white privilege make you uncomfortable? Many of us have privilege. I have cis male privilege, but I don't have the almighty straight, white cis male privilege. Being male, I try my best to be as understanding as possible to others in the gender spectrum. If I did something to offend the female or transgendered community, I would apologize, saying that I didn't know better. I would back down. I wouldn't fight back saying that I am not to blame because of intent. People made fun of old white men making laws about what women can or cannot do with their bodies because what do they know about women! Think about that in the context of THIS situation.
I have actually gotten (anon) messages that I am a racist against white people.
This is akin to an idiot straight dude screaming "Well, YOU'RE a MISANDRIST" when he's been called out for his misogyny.
I remember David Gaider's beautiful quote in this instance:
"Privilege is when you think that something's not a problem because it's not a problem for you personally"
You have white privilege. No hiding it. But everyone can check their privilege and apologize when they step over their boundaries and then back down. You did none of that, and anyone can see in your words how you felt about the situation. I dissected your post previously, so I need not repeat what you said. That should be clear enough. But I must reiterate the fact that you did not bow out gracefully. You didn't just say "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't understand all the heavy issues of race and blackface. We're all extremely sorry and we'll do our best to be more aware and educated."
No, you guys immediately fought, setting off a TON of people. When I refer to "you guys" I am referring to YOU, and the 1 other person that responded like an idiot earlier. Many of the cosplayers in your group were probably unaware and very sorry that this all happened, and they're ok because they haven't said anything STUPID. Even now, your apologies are laced with blame-shifting and are ingenuine at best. You are even silly enough to call our white friend a "racist" against white people for calling you out. No dear, she just hates stupidity.
You are a jackass.
You called me jerk for having a level-headed post attempting to educate you, receiving a ridiculous response, and getting immensely frustrated with it? Am I a jerk for posting this now AFTER YOU PRODDED AT ME on twitter after this should have been buried away along with your shame?
"Oh what a jerk. He totally called me out on my half-hearted apology!"
"What a jerk. I asked people to respond to me, but then he responded to me! Like, what!"
"Man, that jerk. I didn't ACTUALLY want people to tell me why I was wrong when I asked!"
Then sure. Call me a jerk for reacting against people refusing to understand. For using terms that make you "uncomfortable." May I have an opportunity to tell you what you've come off as this entire time?
Privileged brats that don't know when you're wrong or when to stop.
You prodded me for no good reason out of the blue when things could have simply been buried and ignored. I am done trying to get you to understand what is wrong with your language and how you treat the issue of race.
I wouldn't recommend aggravating me further.
Aaaw, baaaby! I've gotten to the point where your ignorant comments really don't phase me anymore! Great job at arguing angrily!! You should write more. :) -claps- I adore how you're not sending irrelevant capital sentences anymore, but you're keeping the hate for no reason! I feel a bit bad for you.
It's funny. Saying my comments are ignorant. And this is coming from?… Oh?
A redneck entitled privileged brat from Alberta? The South of the North?
This was my favorite comment about you've been spewing out of your face-sphincter:
As for you whining about angry replies to you, do you not know what it feels like to be marginalized? Oh, hahaha of course you don't you privileged piece of trash. Anger and impassioned speech is how we fight for what we deserve as humans and equality has never come from meek polite attitudes.
Man, I have friends from Alberta, and they HAVE told me there isn't a lot of diversity and a lot of ignorant people live there but goddamn. Experiencing it first hand here.
"Waaaaaah, I have no more valid statements and arguments so I'm gonna attack the WAY you're talking to me instead to try to steer the argument into a direction where I can perceive that I'm in control again!"

Clean peppermint taste. We use it for peppermint mochas and peppermint hot chocolate. its not really strong, so we do add a little more syrup than we normally use for other drinks.
Kathleen R. from Lutheran Church Posted on 09/16/2014
This is an ingredient in one of our new featured Gourmet Hot Chocolates. It was a very good decision by our corporate office to add these. They are delicious and a big seller.
Manager from Isaacs - Ephrata Posted on 05/20/2014
We were looking for something to mix things up this holiday season, and DaVinci Gourmet Peppermint series did just that. Peppermint coffee drink quickly became a customer favorite and really boosted our sales.
Matthew W. from The Feed Company Posted on 03/20/2014
Not too overpowering. I was really impressed with the flavor. Wish the bottle was glass, but not really a big deal. I would buy this syrup again.
David N. from Open Tree Creative Posted on 02/10/2014
We use this during the holiday season to make a wonderful Peppermint mocha latte and frozen frappe! wow what a flavor, it boasts well with our espresso and was an instant classic!!
Chris T. Posted on 01/28/2014
Peppermint mocha Latte!
I love to mix this with confectionary sugar to make cookie glazes or thinned icing for coffee cakes and rolls. It imparts a nice flavor while adding liquid. Great for holiday flavored coffee as well.
Jacqueline C. Posted on 11/06/2013
How do they do it for this price. Christmas is coming and I LOVE anything Peppermint, so I have this for my customers who want Christmas in a hot cup of Coffee..
Sylvia C. from Britans Yogurt Mill Posted on 09/12/2012
During late fall and winter, I have an exterme obsession with peppermint. I had it to everything! At such a low price per bottle, it's beyond worth it!
Dustin W. Posted on 06/08/2012
The Peppermint flavor goes so well in a Peppermint Hot Chocolate in addition to Peppermint Mocha Lattes. We make a Peppermint Chip Shake that people love even in cold weather!
Jennifer M. from DownTown Java Posted on 02/21/2012
good quality, fast delivery. would buy again.
Marjorie F. Posted on 02/15/2012
The Syrup is great for iced coffees, has a great flavor. Very afforable price.
Cheryl W. Posted on 02/15/2012
These flavoring syrups are of very high quality and add a nice compliment to any drink you want to add it to. we enjoy using it in both hot and cold beverages and especially to flavor my fresh whipped cream. we really like the sf flavors the most "0" calories
Rob T. Posted on 02/15/2012
I bought two flavors to try. I wanted to have Ice Coffee on hand and these tasted great. Just made hot coffee, added Ice and the syrup- very pleased with the flavors.
Barbara L. Posted on 02/15/2012
Absolutely love the syrups. All three brands are good. I especially like the sugar free, no after taste and very flavorful. All my guest love having coffee at my house.
Nadine S. Posted on 02/15/2012
I just ordered 14 various bottles of this coffee flavoring syrup. It is delicious in coffee to sweeten it and to give it flavor. I can't wait to try more flavors and they have a large variety from which to choose.
Sandra A. Posted on 02/15/2012
Great item at a great price.Use it with coffee drinks for a great non-alcoholic drink. Shipping is fast and easy. I would recommend this product.
Frank V. Posted on 02/15/2012
We Love the Coffee flavors and you can't beat the price! It's like having your own Dunkin at home! Would reccomend to any coffee Lover.
Melinda C. Posted on 02/15/2012
We use this syrup in our coffee and to make vanilla cokes. The flavor is delicious! We've recommended the product and the website to friends, and we'll be ordering more!
Karen M. Posted on 02/15/2012
We have used DaVinci syrups at our drive-thru espresso stand and have loved them as do our customers. Since finding WEBstaurant I will be purchasing alot of my syrups from you due to the great prices. Thanks!
Pamela M. Posted on 02/15/2012
I like these syrups offered by Webstaurant Store because of their intense flavor and long-lasting size. Great for coffee drinks and even milk shakes! We mix coffee and caramel for a truly delicious blend of flavors!
Kay J. Posted on 02/15/2012
Great flavors.The group that I have to review all of my items went head over heals for these flavors. I will purchase these items again
Caleb K. Posted on 02/15/2012
We love the Da Vinci Flavoring syrup, we use it to flavor our daughters water,which is required for her Ketogenic Diet. She's a year old
Crystal M. Posted on 02/15/2012
I love all the DaVinci syrups. They are FAR superior to other brands. The flavors are much deeper, more complex and less artificial tasting. Some are better than others though... the English Toffee is my favorite and I like that as a base for everything else. I love the Dolce D'Leche and the Kalhua. The Carmel is good as is the vanilla and Coconut. The banana is ok, though it's got that really fake banana taste. My kids love that taste though, so go figure. Same with the peanut butter and the chocolate... they are good, but taste nothing like the real thing. Creme d'Menthe is an interesting twist with the Chocolate.
Steven W. Posted on 02/15/2012
The syrups are great! I and my friends are on a carb restricted diet and these flavors truly enhance the taste of many of our meal replacements. Your prices are a bit higher than my other source, but they won't ship in cold weather for fear of freezing and breakage.
Verita S. Posted on 02/15/2012
These are absolutely delish! I use them for my protein shakes and my coffee. I don't even need to add any sugar. That works for me! I am looking for a nice baker's rack and of course I will order one with a wine rack just to hold my coffee flavors. Good job!
Delores M. from Delores McCarter, Author Posted on 02/15/2012
I first ordered Dolce Coffee Flavoring Syrup before Christmas — one for my home and one for a gift. The gift was well received and enjoyed. I recently ordered more for myself and am now enjoying coffeehouse flavors without coffeehouse prices! (The cookie was delicious, by the way.)
Barbara S. Posted on 02/15/2012
Great product, and quick shipping I would recommend this site to anyone that is looking for an alternative to Amazon. Also the flavorings work great with protein shakes.
John M. Posted on 02/15/2012
I haven't tried any of the Dolce products but my customers seem to like this. So it is no different then purchasing DaVinci or Torani.
Joann C. from Dreamz Cafe & Gelato Posted on 02/15/2012
We have found that shopping around on the internet have many companies selling the same item, but your company has the BEST pricing of all. We are also very happy that the bottles now are made of plastic which for us makes the bottles alot safer to use. Your company is very quick in its turnaround once an ordered has been submitted. Thanks so much, Curves for Women
Morrie W. from Ettinger-Wilf Enterprise, Inc. Posted on 02/15/2012
WE LOVE THESE! We use them to flavor muffins, and also all our tropical drink flavored cupcakes! So excited to see WEBstaurantStore.com carries the Dolce, DaVinci brand - we'll definitely be ordering them through here in July!
Anna S. Posted on 02/15/2012
I use this for my Whip-it whipped cream dispenser. With a pump I can add the same amount each time and I don't have to add flavor and sugar separately. It has a very nice taste.
Ryan A. Posted on 02/15/2012
Excellent product at a great price! The bulk of our orders from Webstaurant store are these syrups. We carry over 30 regular flavors and at least 10 sugar free, and our customers love them. It gives us a real advantage over our competitors for minimal capital.
Chris D. from Custom Confections Inc. Posted on 02/15/2012
This is a delicious product. I use it in my coffee. It is like having a dessert in my coffee. You should give this a try!!
Lauren S. from 19 Steps Bake Shop Posted on 02/15/2012
We use these syrups for cappucinos and mocha flavorings and the price is right and the taste is great. Will be trying more flavors in the future.
Lisa M. from Zeppe's Pizzeria Posted on 02/15/2012
These are the same brands I have been paying the same price for less than half the oz. I use them in tea instead of coffee, and they are wonderful. The only problem is there are so many flavors to choose from !!! Thanks for a great product at such a reasonable price.
Linda B. Posted on 02/15/2012
Great to make your own coffee drinks at home! Tastes as good as Starbucks, but it's lot less expensive. And there are more sugar free flavor choices than Starbucks.
Marla S. Posted on 02/15/2012
Great pricing for a great product. However, the bottle mouth size has increased and the pourers no longer fit. We now have to keep reusing the old bottles in order to use them with the pourers.
Cynthia J. Posted on 02/15/2012
I used these for an espresso bar at my sister's wedding post-reception, and have catered a few events since! Starbucks sells these for more per bottle, so this great price makes it even sweeter! These syrups make great-tasting drinks that are super easy to make!
Eleanor W. Posted on 02/15/2012
These syrups are great. They are strong enough that a couple of pumps is all that is needed. One bottle lasts a while and adds nice flavor to coffee. Highly recommended.
Richard W. from Master Salons Posted on 02/15/2012
Purchased a variety of syrups to add to my childrens Christmas gift baskets. All have been thrilled with their flavors - especially the cocoa drinker who got"Peppermint Patty".
J J. Posted on 02/15/2012
Great tasting flavor syrups. We have purchased several varieties and use them for Italian Sodas. These bottles go a long, LONG, way. Quality has met our expectations.
Kyle M. from WD Posted on 02/15/2012
Teresa M. from Suncatcher Jewelry Designs Posted on 02/15/2012
Not only is this a great product. The Webstaurant Store makes purchasing this item very easy. Why would I purchase my items any where else.
Jeanne W. from Blauer Manufacturing Co., Inc. Posted on 02/15/2012
the purchase was fantastic. not one regret. great taste of syrup. the sugar free ones are also tasty and dont have a bad taste at all
Aaron h. from The new haven cafe Posted on 02/15/2012
These syrups are great, I was ordering form another supplier and found these, they are an awesome deal for the price, good quality and fast on shipping too.
Shelah M. Posted on 02/15/2012
Excellent Value and price. We use these in our healthy Smoothie Meal replacements to give touch of flavor. Sugar Free are our favorites and they are mostly sweetned with Splenda not aspartame. Fast Shipping and prompt.
Charlene K. from Lifestyle Family Nutrition Posted on 02/15/2012
Wonderful in my coffee during the week, much better price than that found at Sams club. Has very good flavor, comparable to Starbucks or caribou and a fraction of the price.
Daniel S. Posted on 02/15/2012
Good, high quality syrup. The bottles are plastic and will not break in transport. Webstaurant also offers the matching white syrup pumps for this brand.
Aaron M. from The Early Bird Posted on 02/15/2012
Don't use a lot of coffee syrups, but wanted to give this one a try. We really have enjoyed using it. Good quality, great taste, great price!
Donna H. Posted on 02/15/2012
Flavored syrups make a great addition to coffees, but why stop there? Add to sparkling water for a delicious Italian-style soda... vanilla makes a great "cream-soda" treat.
Avi Z. Posted on 02/15/2012
The shipping was fast, fragile items safe wrapping, cheapest deal, great quality product, I just keep coming back for more. And I never had any problem.
Svetlana W. Posted on 02/15/2012
we started featuring a flavored coffee of the week. I used a few of the top shelf stuff, then i found this line. And lets just say we are hooked.
Randall H. from restaurant Posted on 02/15/2012
good flavor and variety. the ONLY knock for us on this is the bottle. it is smaller than the glass ones and fit a little looser in the rack. other than that, we have been very happy with the trio!
Kris R. from the well Posted on 02/15/2012
Absolutely made my coffee such a wonderful drink. So many variety to choose from, I'm tempted to try almost all of them. Great deal , must buy
Wendy Z. Posted on 02/15/2012
These syrups are great for any coffee lover! Can also convince non coffee lovers to enjoy coffee. Great selection of flavors! Excellent value and price!!

St Sophia Cathedral
Dating back to the 11th century, the exquisite green and gold-domed St Sophia Cathedral was an important centre for the Soviet Union. It has been damaged and repaired over the years, and today is a blend of architectural styles from nine different centuries. Perhaps one of the most striking aspects of the Cathedral is its impressive collection of Byzantine mosaics and frescoes that date back to its inception. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Cathedral also serves as a living text; hundreds of pieces of graffiti relating political and historical events spanning the centuries can still be seen today.

Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease an 8″x 8″baking pan. Set aside.
Combine flour, brown sugar, and salt in a food processor. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles cornmeal. Add egg. Process just until dough comes together in a ball. Spread dough into bottom of prepared pan.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until light golden brown. Set pan on wire rack to cool.
Spread raspberry preserves on top of cooled crust.
Using a food processor, pulse hazelnuts and sugar to a cornmeal consistency. Add butter and eggs, and process until creamy. (May be refrigerated until ready to use.) Spread over preserves. Set aside.
Combine flour, brown sugar, and butter using a hand mixer at medium speed. Mix until mixture begins to pull together. Sprinkle over filling.
Bake at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes.* Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
*The bars won't necessarily look "done." Look for some browning on the top and around the edges. Giving the pan a little shake, too. If it still jiggles a good bit, give it a few more minutes. As they cool, they will set. I am a notorious "underbaker," and I let these bake the entire 30 minutes. In retrospect, a couple more minutes might have helped.

By GENE PATTERSON6 News Anchor/Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) - It was hard to escape thinking about our military veterans on Veterans Day, but the thoughts of one group in North Knoxville go to veterans just about every day. They also put those thoughts into action.
Stitch by stitch, square by square, these volunteers put their hearts, souls and fingertips into their work.
Using donated threads and cloth, they gather each week at a North Knoxville home, sewing for a common goal.
"We have about 20 volunteers who help us here, and we're one of about seven quilting organizations right here in East Tennessee that make quilts," said Dennis Taylor, coordinator for Quilts of Valor.
These aren't just any quilts. The Quilts of Valor will soon be wrapped around veterans who've served our country and who now are owed our appreciation.
"I have a husband who was in World War II and also he served in Korea. I just have a great feeling for the veterans," said Wanda Brown.
Brown is one of around 10,000 volunteers around the country who sew these Quilts of Valor. In the 10 years since its founding, more than 92,000 quilts have been awarded.
This week at the Corryton Senior Center, three more quilts were given new homes.
Three World War II veterans were wrapped in the love of a thankful nation.
"I can wrap a quilt around a soldier or veteran and thank him for his service, and as I wrap him in that quilt, it's just like wrapping him with hugs from all the people who've made that quilt," said Taylor.
Taylor is the East Tennessee regional coordinator of Quilts of Valor. He is a Vietnam War veteran and received his quilt last November.
His sewing groups make around 200 quilts a year. While that seems like a lot, it is not nearly enough.
"There is a huge demand for quilts. We have about four and half million veterans that qualify for a quilt, but we can't keep up with that," said Taylor.
Despite the numbers, these volunteers sew on because they say this is important.
"These veterans have put their lives on the line to preserve our freedoms and liberties, and we owe so much to them. The reality is these veterans come home and unfortunately they're not appreciated as much as they should be," Taylor said.
With each quilt completed, a veteran is appreciated just a little bit more. For these volunteers, it's a patriotic mission Made in Tennessee.
Quilts of Valor operates without any government funding. Everything is donated.

Remembering D.J. Henry
Guest blogger Kate Tuttle: When college student Danroy "D.J." Henry was shot and killed by police in Mt. Pleasant, N.Y., last weekend, he became just the latest in a long line of young black men whose lives ended far too soon under questionable circumstances. While the police claim that Henry, a Massachusetts native attending Pace University, sped toward them in his car, eyewitnesses and the videotape from the scene tell a different story, one featuring police officers overreacting to a crowd they saw as threatening, ending in a very bad choice.
