This review includes 12 trials (3243 women). Water immersion during the first stage of labour significantly reduced epidural/spinal analgesia requirements, without adversely affecting labour duration, operative delivery rates, or neonatal wellbeing. One trial showed that immersion in water during the second stage of labour increased women's reported satisfaction with their birth experience. Further research is needed to assess the effect of immersion in water on neonatal and maternal morbidity. No trials could be located that assessed the immersion of women in water during the third stage of labour, or evaluating different types of pool/bath.

Once a month during the hot Texas summer, Business Jet Center's Dallas
American cuisine
When Atlantic Aviation v-p Sue Sommers checked into her hotel in Cancun, Mexico, on vacation last year, she was greeted with a cold drink by a friendly, knowledgeable local concierge before she could even make it to the check-in counter. That planted the seed, and the idea has blossomed into Atlantic's concierge program. Atlantic plans to have concierges greeting passengers and pilots at the four largest of its eight FBOs.
Jimsair, which has been a fixture at San Diego International Airport (SAN) for more than half a century, is currently undergoing a $5 million facility refurbishment. The three-story construction project, accentuated by its sweeping wing-like roofline, is expected to be completed by year-end–in time for January's Super Bowl. More than 300 visiting corporate jets are expected to crowd Jimsair's ramp for the big game.
While NBAA is drawing thousands of visitors to Atlanta, the city has a thriving culinary scene that befits its status as "the capitol of the south."

Gone are the days when you'd have to pay a pretty penny for a decent sound editing and mixing application. For the best part of a decade, Audacity has carved a niche for itself as a powerful, yet usable tool for sound editing. It's capable of recording live audio, digitising your old vinyl and cassette collection, editing a wide range of audio formats (including Ogg Vorbis, AIFF, WAV and MP3).
The interface also makes it easy to cut, copy, splice and mix sounds together, alter a recording's speech or pitch, plus apply various filters to cut out distortion or introduce special effects. In fact, Audacity is so versatile, you'll often find it bundled with hardware devices such as ION's range of turntables.
For a number of years Audacity has been available in two separate versions: an elderly, stable 1.2.6 release that doesn't work on newer versions of OS X and Windows, and a long-running beta series that reached version 1.3.14 before it finally morphed into this, Audacity 2.0, more than six years after it first appeared.
That's right, Audacity 2.0 is little more than a stable version of the long-running beta That means if you're currently running the latest version of the beta you won't see anything radically different from what you've been used to by upgrading to version 2.0. However, it's worth upgrading to for one critical reason: it's an official, stable release.
If you've religiously stuck with version 1.2.6, or are running an older 1.3.x beta build, then you'll find there are plenty of reasons to update, from interface tweaks like improved toolbar docking, the ability to have multiple clips per track (while collapsing or expanding tracks in the workspace), repair and equalization effects, timer recording, improved drag and drop, plus project saving and recovery.
Note: while Audacity can import MP3 files, you will need to download and install the LAME MP3 Encoder plug-in if you wish to export your recordings in MP3 format.
Audacity 2.0.5 brings these changes:
- (OS X) Crashes when importing audio files are fixed.
- (OS X) Files can now be opened using Finder "Open with", and by double-click or dragging to the Audacity icon.
- (OS X) Audio Unit plug-ins are not loaded until used. This makes Audacity start faster and avoids startup crashes due toincompatible plug-ins.
- (Windows) On a very few machines, the Windows WDM-KS low latency host caused Audacity 2.0.4 to hang or the computer to crash. WDM-KS has been removed from Audacity 2.0.5 while we work on safely enabling this host. WDM-KS will still be available for testing in the Windows alpha development builds.
- (Windows) Fixed a bug where Audacity would not record until the current input was reselected.
- (Linux) You can now navigate through an effect or other dialog using keyboard TAB.

When a boy left for college, his dad gave him some advice: "You can date every sorority but make a AOII your wife. You can party with the Phi Mu's and you can kiss a Sigma too, but when it's time to marry only a AOII will be right for you. We know that you'll enjoy your years and give them all a spin, but never buy a ring unless a ruby is in her pin and a rose is her flower of choice. During your years at college you'll go from one suite to another, but take advice from your wise ole dad and bring an ALPHA OMICRON PI home to your mother!"

Winfield retires after being waived by Seahawks
Renton, WA (Sports Network) - Antoine Winfield has retired from the NFL after 14 productive seasons.
The three-time Pro Bowl cornerback was released by the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday after signing with the club in the offseason.
"Wishing Antoine Winfield the best in his decision to retire," Seahawks coach Pete Carroll posted on Twitter. "He's a consummate pro and a great team player. We were lucky to have him!"
Winfield had spent the previous nine years playing for the Minnesota Vikings.
Last season, Winfield had 101 tackles and three interceptions. A first-round draft pick in 1999, Winfield played his first five seasons for the Buffalo Bills and finished his career with 972 tackles and 27 interceptions.

A couple notes about the Bengals glut of tickets for the playoff game
A couple notes about the Bengals glut of tickets for the playoff game
For those who keep saying "if they can sell out the Vikings game, they can sell out a playoff game", it is an unfair comparison. -- For the Vikings game, a lot of tickets were offered at reduced rate, businesses did a ticket buy and the team also bought seats to make sure the game was on TV. During the regular season in a mass ticket guy, as long as you give 33 cents on the dollar to the league as far as the visiting team's share, you can buy at a reduced rate. You can't do that in the playoffs. The league gets all ticket revenue. You can't comp tickets or offer any discounted seats. -- Trying to move 13-15,000 seats in the matter of four days is no small task. When team officials are willing to freely give out ticket availability when not asked -- it would be easier to get NSA secrets than Bengals ticket estimations most years -- you know there are a lot of tickets remaining. -- The league sets ticket prices, not the Bengals. -- Since 2011, the Bengals have reduced ticket prices and put a team on the field that has qualified for the playoffs three straight years. The one albatross remains a postseason win but at some point blame has to shift from the team and fans have to take responsibility for why they are staying away. If this game is blacked out, the national dialogue and criticism will be more about the fans and the city than the owner.

LESSON 6: Meeting Nutritional Needs Throughout Life
Part 2: Nutritional Needs of Babies and Infants (0-24 months)
Part 5: Nutritional Needs During Illness
Part 5: Nutritional Needs During Illness
Eating well is especially important during illness to help the body recover and regain health. When people are ill, their need for certain nutrients is even greater to help them keep alive, fight infections and replace the nutrients lost through illness. Sick people often have little or no desire to eat, but eating is especially important, because of increased needs to fight infection and to replace nutrients that may be lost. During episodes of diarrhoea and vomiting, up to half the food taken in and much water can be lost. If sick people do not eat to meet their energy and nutrient needs, their body may start to use up their own body fat, muscles and other tissues; they will lose weight and become undernourished. People who are ill or recovering from illness need a diet that is appealing, particularly rich in micronutrients and protein and not too big in volume.
To think about
Why is it important to eat well during illness?
What kinds of foods are especially good during illness?
How can people be helped to eat well during illness?
Children and adults who are ill need to be encouraged to eat and drink, even if they have little desire to eat. They should be offered small amounts of a variety of foods frequently. Liquids, such as clean water (boiled, if necessary), fruit juices, coconut water, soups, broths and watery porridges, are especially important to replace fluids lost in fever, diarrhoea and vomiting. Breastfed children who have diarrhoea need to be breastfed frequently. When recovering from being sick, people need to eat more to regain lost weight and they need to eat more nutrient-rich foods to replace lost vitamins and minerals.
It is especially important for people with HIV/AIDS to have well balanced diets. While good nutrition cannot cure AIDS or prevent HIV infection, it can help to maintain and improve the nutritional status of people with HIV/AIDS. Improved nutritional status will help them to remain more active, healthy and productive and improve their quality of life. In people infected with the HIV virus, the body's immune system has to work harder to fight infection and this increases the need for energy and nutrients. Other infections and fever also increase the body's demand for food and reduces the body's ability to absorb the nutrients in food. The amount of food that people with HIV eat is often affected by reduced appetite, sore mouth, nausea, vomiting, tiredness, depression and lack of money. However, it is particularly important for people with HIV to have a healthy and balanced diet in order to meet their increased protein and energy requirements and maintain their nutritional status. People who are infected with HIV have to eat more to meet these extra energy and nutrient needs, which will increase even more as the HIV/AIDS symptoms develop. Children with HIV/AIDS may need 50-100 percent more energy than non-infected children.

NEWPORT (WATE) - Cocke County High School Principal Larry Williams passed away Tuesday morning. He was 61 years old.
Administrators say Williams was diagnosed with leukemia in 2009 and was unable to return to work this school year.
Williams became principal in 2009, but he was also a teacher and the high school athletic director for 23 years. He worked for the school system since 1972.
Williams even graduated from Cocke County High School where he also played football.
All three assistant principals were former students of Williams.
"He knew everybody. He has always known all the students. He has always had a personal relationship knowing enough so he could tease them about their boyfriend or not having a boyfriend. Everybody knew Coach Williams," said Assistant Principal Gail Burchette.
"He was probably everything to me. He was my head football coach when I was in high school. He guided me in college through a degree path that would allow me to come back, and he helped me acquire my first teaching position at this school," said Assistant Principal and Athletic Director Casey Kelley.
"When you meet Larry Williams, you automatically want to smile because when he walked in the room and it lightened up," Kelly added. "He had wit and a humor to him that is second to none."
"He is a great leader and coach, probably has helped more kids in Cocke County than anyone. He will be truly and sorely missed," said Assistant Principal Patrick O'Neil.
Students with the ROTC program lowered the school's flag to half mast Tuesday morning. "Team heaven just got one heck of a coach," Kelley said.
School officials will have counselors and ministers on site all week to help faculty and students cope with the principal's death.
Larry Williams leaves behind a wife and five children.
The family will receive friends from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. Friday at Cocke County High School.
Funeral services will be held at 8:00 p.m. Friday in the Cocke County High School Gymnasium.
The burial will be at 11:00 a.m. Saturday in Union Cemetery.

"I... Er... Gotta go just forget it." he picks up his lonely blubefore card of the dirty concrete ground before running of past a large green shipping container where the bus usually stops. What am I supposed to know? We need to help Gerard I know that, something about him just feels so special like we are connected, through the blood or something? We both don't have blood so it's not that. My brain hurts.
"frank!" katies voice jumps me out of my thoughts.
"Frank... Earth to Frank... I've just been talking to you for the last 5 minutes but you have been looking at the tree with a confused smirk on your face? Is this something you usually do? If it is I will be slapping you every 2 minuets while I'm talking" BAM her hand hits my face gently with drawing me from my daze again.
"ow fuck.. Sorry I just dont know what Gerard means" I go to slip of again as the sting of her slap finally emerges making me feel like a whale slapped me.
"Frank just forget it, maybe he will explain at one point right now he needs our help Even if he's not acting like it but just where would he go?"
She looks at me hoping that maybe just maybe I would know where a boy I met like today usually goes in his hard brother saving times.
" maybe the bus stop? Not the little one I mean the one in steyning? Its only a 2 minuet walk and it's the only other place he could of gone from here?"
"it's worth a shot, I just hope that any buses haven't turned up yet."
We sneak past the green shipping container onto the creepy craked pavement carefully treading over tree roots and rubbish. I hear katies foot steps behind me on the single track path, tap...tap...tap...tap the sound is almost hypnotic, undisturbed until a truck whirls past at high speed making me jump and become once again aware of the tree sheltered road once again.
Sunlight, the revealing of life, we break free of the trees into the village walking past the small pub full of alcoholics and business lunches, we continue ever more past some houses and round the corner to the so famous high street laced with cars, shops, cigerett butts and broken glass we pass the first shop, the model bakery then the next shop, and the next shop, getting closer to the bus stop that faces a small clock tower, and that's when I spot him, sat on a bench coffee in hand cigerett In the other and just pure misery etched into his young pale face. I quickly sprint across the busy road to face the boy with a secret that is causing him so much pain.
"gee." sorrow.
I'm so sorry thats it's been so long I've just had a lot of problems at the moment and I've just been putting of writing, I hope people are still reading but I understand if your not

The Makioka Sistersby Junichiro Tanizaki
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In Osaka in the years immediately before World War II, four aristocratic women try to preserve a way of life that is vanishing. As told by Junichiro Tanizaki, the story of the Makioka sisters forms what is arguably the greatest Japanese novel of the twentieth century, a poignant yet unsparing portrait of a family-and an entire society-sliding into the abyss of modernity.
Tsuruko, the eldest sister, clings obstinately to the prestige of her family name even as her husband prepares to move their household to Tokyo, where that name means nothing. Sachiko compromises valiantly to secure the future of her younger sisters. The unmarried Yukiko is a hostage to her familys exacting standards, while the spirited Taeko rebels by flinging herself into scandalous romantic alliances. Filled with vignettes of upper-class Japanese life and capturing both the decorum and the heartache of its protagonist, The Makioka Sisters is a classic of international literature.

About the Author
Junichiro Tanizaki was born in Tokyo in 1886 and lived there until the earthquake of 1923, when he moved to the Kyoto-Osaka region, the scene of his novel The Makioka Sisters (1943-48). Among his works are Naomi (1924), Some Prefer Nettles (1928), Quicksand (1930), Arrowroot (1931), A Portrait of Shunkin (1933), The Secret History of the Lord of Musashi (1935), modern versions of The Tale of Genji (1941, 1954, and 1965), Captain Shigemoto's Mother (1949), The Key (1956), and Diary of a Mad Old Man (1961). By 1930 he had gained such renown that an edition of his complete works was published, and he was awarded Japan's Imperial Prize in Literature in 1949. Tanizaki died in 1965.

New Samsung DV300F camera with dual LCDs and Wifi
Happy New Year with the first new digital camera announcement of 2012! Samsung has just revealed the DV300F on its own blog. This is a dual LCD (front and back) camera (Samsung calls them 2View nowadays) with built-in Wifi! It has a 5X Samsung-branded lens starting at 25mm (equivalent). The sensor is 16 megapixels. It takes microSD memory cards (not full size SD). The front LCD is 1.5 inches.
Interestingly the Wifi feature allows them to put hooks into the Microsoft Skydrive (cloud drive with free 25GB of storage). Perhaps Samsung's experience in smartphones is giving them an advantage in "modernizing" digital camera connectivity features? (although judging by their Galaxy mp3 players, non-smartphone devices may be trailing the smartphone features by a generation or more).
This brand new camera has been added to the just-launched Cameras of 2012 reference page which is currently dominated by Samsung ;-)

Genes are made up of segments of DNA and they determine physical traits, including the color of your eyes and whether your hair is straight or curly. You inherited your genes from your parents, which is why someone might say you have your mother's smile.

Reported by Lauren Lowrey - email | bio
TOLEDO, OH (WTOL) - As times get tough, people are turning to non-conventional ways to make ends meet. For hundreds of Toledo residents, some extra cash is as simple as spending an hour in the doctor's chair.
If you can stand needles, try donating plasma. There's a new company near downtown Toledo that pays you for it.
"It's $70 a week but we also throw in bonuses every now and then. If you bring a friend in, you get an addition $10 bonus. After your 5th donation, $10 bonus; after your 7th donation, a $20 bonus," says Talecris Plasma Center Manager Andrew Oliver.
They're paying you for components in your blood used to make life-saving vaccines and prescriptions. More than 500 people in our area visit the facility every week to do it.
Fred Sherman is only one of 50,000 donors expected to come into this facility, this year. Twice a week, he comes in and is screened. Then some high-tech machines draw out his blood and separate the plasma from the cellular components, putting the blood back into his body.
After more than 5 years of donating, he says his motive has changed.
"I have to be honest, I needed the money, but once I started donating I realized it was helping a lot of people," says donor Fred Sherman.
"It helps donors out in their time of need. Whatever that reason may be. A couple of extra dollars for an hours worth of watching the television. It's a good thing. A good thing, especially in this economy," says Talecris Lead Phlebotomist Willie Hunt.
A few extra dollars to help you through the holidays.

4K Screenshot Showcase: Nvidia's face tech
Every week, keen screen-grabber Ben Griffin brings you a sumptuous 4K resolution gallery to celebrate PC gaming's prettiest places, or in this case, PC gaming's most detailed face.
Meet Digital Ira. A collaboration between Activision and USC Institute of Creative Technologies, he's their crack at creating a photoreal digital actor,
"To achieve this," the USC ICT write on their blog, "we scanned the actor in thirty high-resolution expressions using the USC ICT's new Light Stage X system and chose eight expressions for the real-time performance rendering. Then we shot multi-view 30fps video of the actor performing improvised lines using the same multi-camera rig." Finally, the mesh animation was transferred to standard bone animation on a 4K polygon mesh using a bone weight and transform solver. Here's what all that looks like at super-high resolution.

Scholarship Opportunities in Choral Music
At the University of Tennessee at Martin
Choral Scholarship awards are available for incoming students who plan on majoring in vocal music at UTM. Many students have questions regarding how much money is available, how the scholarship program works, what types of auditions are required, and what needs to be prepared for the audition. Frequently asked questions are listed here, along with some answers.
What kinds of scholarships exist for music majors?
A variety of scholarship awards exist for students who come to UTM from all sorts of musical backgrounds. Certain high school activities, such as participation in All-West, All-State, and Solo and Ensemble Contest, in conjunction with ACT scores and high school GPA help the department determine the amount of the award. Further, scholarships for participation in the University Singers and the New Pacer Singers exist and can be added to the department scholarship award.
What if I'm receiving a Lottery Scholarship? Will that affect my music scholarship award?
No. Your music department scholarship award has nothing to do with the lottery scholarship. You can receive the lottery scholarship and add any award from the music department to it to assist in paying for your college education. When you receive a university scholarship offer, the letter will probably indicate what your lottery scholarship amount is. This is done so that you can better understand how much money you are receiving in assistance. The Unversity, however, does not calculate any award amount based on how much your are receiving from the lottery scholarship.
If I major in music, can I only receive a music department scholarship?
No. The University has many different scholarship programs. Often they are based on ACT scores and high school GPA. Other considerations are taken into account, too, such as community service, extra-curricular activities, and other personal achievments.
What is the first step in applying for financial aid?
Before you do anything, it is most important that you apply for admission to the University. This can be done online at the Office of Admissions website: www.utm.edu/departments /admissions/index.php
After you have applied to the University, you must then apply for financial aid. Your high school guidance councellor can help you with this process. You can also apply through the Office of Financial Aid: http://www.utm.edu/departments/finaid/index.php
What is required of me at the audition?
Auditions are an opportunity for you to meet the faculty in the Music Department at UTM and for us to get a better sense of who you are and what musical training and experience you have had so far in your development. Auditions are non-threatening, relaxed, and meant for all of us to get to know one another. It is important that you prepare for the audition and bring a few things with you.
1) Be ready to sing two songs. The songs should be contrasting in nature (one fast and one slow, for example) and should be in two different languages if at all possible. If a language other than english is not possible, it is acceptable to sing two songs in english.
2) Bring the music with you. We will provide an accompanist for you, so you will not need to bring someone to accompany you on the piano.

for mommy
Yup because this needed to be giffed too because this was a beautiful moment. The way Henry stayed in that moment with her even after Emma walked in. He just stayed there with Regina, eyes closed, hugging her tightly, not caring about the family reunion happening two feet away. Then you can see Regina rubbing his back in the first gif in that very sweet motherly way. It looks like a mother holding her baby boy and soothing him to sleep after he'd been crying. And the way she is looking at him in the second gif in such a loving and doting way. It really is like it's only these two in this moment. Nothing else around them is happening.
Once Upon a Time AU ♥ Henry grows up to become the Knave of Hearts.
While in Storybrooke, Henry's relationship with Regina continued to grow. But when they returned to Fairytale Land, she was exiled and stripped of her powers. She was left mostly in peace, until a band of mercenaries took it upon themselves to hunt down the former Evil Queen. It was too much for Henry, who blamed Snow, Charming and Emma for his mother's death. He ran away to Wonderland to find the one person he thought would understand - Cora. She took him in, teaching her grandson the ways of magic, while her guards taught him how to wield a sword. He became the Knave of Hearts, Cora's most powerful and trusted assassin.
I'm trying.
Just thought it was sweet that she was caressing his hand with her thumb while she was talking to him.
So going by the sheets-turned-rope, Henry was sneaking out and Regina used magic to bring him back up?
(A/N: Question for you guys: would you rather me put the prompt in the title or at the end? Also I have good news: I'M GETTING INTERNET! Sorry I'm a little excited about that because no more writing stories on my phone. So yeah question for you guys.)
Six year old Henry made his way to the…
Oh helllll no ! Sorry but , no. It's more like Henry mills . Sorry , but it's true.
It says Henry Swan.
I'm sorry but WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT. Shit just got real. No. Please, no.
What the?!
No. NO.
Reblogging again just to point out that this is from ABC'S cast commentary, from way back before the show even aired. Just in case anyone panics and thinks they've changed his name. It's just a major fail on ABC's part. >.<
If you think Regina is a bitch, you should meet her adopted son.
Folks, come sit down for a second. We need to talk. Here, have some cocoa or tea. This is going to be a feminist rant.
I enjoy this show, as many of you know. Mainly because I'm in love with Raphael Sbarge.
But this is something that has been truly bothering…
Ugh I can't even. My heart hurts too much.
Regina can't be that bad because if that was my kid, I'd be like:
The only negative thing one might be able to say about her parenting is that she spoiled the little shit.
I've been thinking about this scene quite a lot. It shocked me, to be honest. Firstly, because as a child I would never dream of speaking to my mother that way - no matter how much I disagreed with her and no matter what sort of persona she represented in my life.
But I have to wonder why, if Regina's such an "evil" person and such a bad mother, she doesn't punish him. I'm sure you've all noticed that Henry's past misdemeanours have gone without retribution of some kind. Yes, we saw Regina threaten to ground him but I have to wonder if she actually followed through with it? Certainly, the rules and regulations she lays down for Henry don't appear to hold any weight with him and he flouts her authority every chance he gets.
Ahkna made an interesting point about Emma taking on the role of parent in his life, and how she would manage the fact that Henry seems to think he can do whatever is deemed necessary to get to where he wants/needs to be. How can she possibly condone stealing, running away, rudeness and accusatory behaviour? Aren't we supposed to teach our children that these things are wrong?
With reference to Regina, someone here said that the only bad thing she's done is to spoil Henry. But I think it's more than that. I think Regina is hard and stern when it comes to parenting. But we never actually SEE her being that way. And this scene just broke my heart because I honestly think that she's so desperate for him to love her that she gives him leeway to act, say and do whatever he wants. She ALLOWS him to talk to her like this (and yes, I know that what he's saying is true - she IS the Evil Queen) and I can't help wondering if there's a part of her that thinks it's just and fitting.
Regina tells Henry that fairytales aren't true. Is she so steeped in her own denial of her past life that she somehow believes what she's saying to him? And yet, she allows him to call her the Evil Queen and never seems to do anything about it. I can't help but suspect that in some way, she might even think she deserves to be mistreated. Certainly, her life's experience has taught her that. And yes, she descended into evil and vengeance and did some terrible things. She embraced the dark part of herself and was a truly dreadful person, all told.
But…and here's my big butt (keep your comments to yourselves on THAT one), if Storybrooke was meant to be Regina's "happy ending", then isn't it also possible that she might have spent the last thirty years looking back on her life and wishing for change? I have very mixed feelings on this from week to week, because sometimes I believe that she HAS changed and sometimes I feel as though she's stuck in the Evil Queen rut forever.
Part of this is probably down to inconsistent writing in behalf of the show, and part of it can be attributed to Lana's interpretation of Regina. There were some expressions on her face in last night's ep that I simply couldn't ignore: pain, sadness, regret, loneliness. Lana shows it all and THAT'S what makes me wonder if Regina has changed or not. Or, at the very least, if she's not in the process of evaluating and examining her past actions.
I'm probably giving much more credence to the showrunners than I should. And I would like to lay the blame at Lana's feet, not my own crooked sense of redemption and how invested I would be in a redemptive storyline for Regina.
There's just sometimes a very accepting, broken feeling I get from her, particularly in scenes like this where Henry lays it all out at her feet and she just TAKES it. Because if she can't make him love her by any means, then what was the point in coming to Storybrooke in the first place?

The Book of Mormon – a Bedizzening Variety of Stuff
This whole apocryphal world is brought together in the B. of M., a veritable handbook of motifs and traditions. As a work of fiction, as a mere intellectual tour de force, nothing could touch it – but along with that it is full of old Jewish lore that very few Jews have ever heard of, handles the desert situation in a way that delights my Medcans, and gives a picture of primitive Christianity that is right out of the Dead Sea Scrolls & the Nag Hamadi texts. What a theme for a kid of 23 to attempt. Continue reading

In the course of writing this month's cover story, Made in the U.S.A., I read a lot of opinions about American-made goods. Just about all of these opinions were heated and fell into one of two camps: Patriotic and exasperated.
I know any topic is fair game these days. But I was still surprised this topic brought out the ornery in everyone.
The patriotic camp is the easiest to sympathize with. Their message is essentially: Buy American and you create American jobs. Who can argue against that? But naturally, most didn't stop there. They added, either explicitly or in tone, that those who buy imports are anti-American.
That second message got on the nerves of some economists, who rushed to write detailed stories about how silly the first group was. The irritation was strong enough that even ABC News' Made In America series, which urges viewers to purchase more American-made products – but not only those products – came under fire for being naïve and even dangerous to the economy.
It's an admittedly complex issue, not one that should be treated lightly. But what's wrong with trying to make American goods just as alluring as Pashmiri scarves, French perfume or Egyptian cotton?
One economist blogged about how, if the fact that something is made in America is the only criteria for making a purchase, and if an imported version of the same item can be bought at half the price and equal in quality, then we're subsidizing a business with poor management. Either quality or efficiency (and therefore cost) needs to improve before consumers should reward the American company with money. Weak companies create an even weaker economy.
Good point. But again an overly simple one.
I know if I bought an American-made stereo over an import, and the stereo had one problem after another, I'd avoid buying from the company again. I'd probably get ticked enough about it that I'd return it and then buy a more reliable brand, even if it's a foreign one. I'd self regulate.
Sure, a poorly run company can benefit from the Buy American trend, but only in the short run. If its products don't deliver, the dollars will dry up.
Tell Your Story
So, how can garden centers be smart with their American-made products?
The polarizing arguments aside, buying American-made goods is definitely a strong trend. And it's a natural for independents. It dovetails neatly with an independent garden center's strengths.
Your customers come to you, in part, because they feel a connection with you and your family. They like buying from you. They enjoy supporting their local economy through you and your staff.
You can tap that same appeal with your products. If you have a farmer's market in the summer, you already do that by labeling where the squash was grown and where the corn was harvested. If you have a local grower who does a terrific job with foliage or species begonias, play that up, too. Fantastic small growers who don't have the capacity to supply Lowe's or Home Depot are worthy of special displays, after all.
Hard goods can hold the same appeal. Do you know your vendor's story, about how many employees they have, where their manufacturing facilities are? Craft a story for your best American-made products that your customers can relate to, and you may be surprised at the results.

There's no question that 5-year-old Kinsey Saleh is spunky. Yep, this Queens girl is sassy and smart. While most girls Kinsey's age beg mom for a new doll, Kinsey's plea is one no child should ever have to say: "Give me a new kidney."
Kinsey is in end-stage kidney failure. It can't get any worse. For four months now, three times a week, three hours each day, she receives dialysis just to stay alive.
Kinsey's mom, Nadine Morsi, was a perfect match but in a cruel twist. She wanted to donate but was rejected.
Renal failure in children is rare, only 15 in 1 million. Kinsey is now on a waiting list along with 80 other children in the New York region.
Dr. Corrine Benchimol is Kinsey's doctor at Mt. Sinai Kravis Children's Hospital. The doctor says the sooner Kinsey gets a new kidney the better.
It's a race against time for Kinsey. But anyone who knows Kinsey, knows she's ready to live a long, happy and healthy life with someone's help.

By Tim Guidera - bio | email SAVANNAH, GA (WTOC) - They've been harder to figure out than to beat the last three weeks, the Georgia Bulldogs' third straight come-from-behind victory Saturday making it difficult to know just where this team is coming from.
"I don't know what to say other than we did it a again,'' UGA coach Mark Richt said after UGA's 20-17 defeated Arizona State 20-17 on a last-second field goal Saturday. "We found a way to win a close one. First we found a way to make it close, then we found a way to win it.''
So now the bulldogs find themselves developing an identity that could be as valuable as the wins revealing it.
"These tough games and these nail-biters have really turned us into a resilient team,'' said Junior linebacker Rennie Curran.
"I think it bring the team together,'' added senior defensive end Jeff Owens. "The more battles, the more the team can rely on each other. If you don't face adversity, you don't know what to expect.''
The Dogs have faced adversity every week, trailing in every game they have played so far.
And to fans who found it as hard to relax as stay dry Saturday in Athens, they say to expect even more.
"There's going to be some tough times,'' said senior quarterback Joe Cox. "We've already had four tough games and that's not going to be the last one. And you can go ahead and say to everyone that's not going to be the last close game we play.''
But after the last three weeks, Richt says he thinks he knows how this Georgia team will respond in those games.
"I will say I like them. I like them,'' Richt said of this year's Bulldogs. "They're a great group of guys and they had a great off-season.
"They try. I believe in my heart they're trying to do everything we ask them.''
They just also seem to be trying and succeeding to give their fans as many scares as thrills along the way.

Found December 02, 2012 on Mets Merized Online:
PLAYERS: Brian Wilson
TEAMS: San Francisco Giants, New York Mets
TEAMS: San Francisco Giants, New York Mets
The San Francisco Giants declined to tender a one-year contract to their former closer, Brian Wilson, thus making him a free agent as he recovers from a second ligament-replacement surgery on his right elbow. Wilson, 30, earned $8.5 million during his injury-shortened 2012 season, and according to CBA rules could not be tendered less than $6.8 million for the 2013 season. The Giants will try to sign him for a lower price, but Wilson has hinted that he prefers to move on and sign with a new team after learning he would be non-tendered. Before his injury shortened 2012 season, Wilson went 6-4 with a 3.11 ERA and 36 saves in 57 appearances in 2011 for the Giants. The three-time All-Star was one of the league's most dominant closers before his elbow problems, but given the incredible advances with Tommy John Surgery, I wouldn't be averse to giving him a shot to close for the Mets. The procedure is not as scary and career threatening as it once was, and some pitchers are back on a moun...

Maple Leafs Rumors: Toronto Faces Uphill Battle in Shane Doan Sweepstakes
Source: Bleacher Report - Jul 13, 2012 at 11:57 AM
While the Toronto Maple Leafs have already added some scoring punch to their lineup this offseason by acquiring James van Riemsdyk, adding a proven veteran like Shane Doan would push the team one step closer to the playoffs.It won't be easy, though. The Leafs are one of nearly a dozen teams that have interest in the winger if he ultimately decides it's time to leave the Phoenix Coyotes, according to Kevin McGran of the Toronto Star. Doan has spent his entire career with the same organization. Ongoing concerns about the ownership situation have caused the 35-year-old Canadian to start considering other options, giving teams like the Leafs a chance to land him.Make no mistake, however: when it comes to Toronto, it's an outside chance.

I love all the bright colors and the light and fresh feeling you get when eating raw. Today I made some applesauce on the fly, and it turned out so good that I think this recipe might become my staple summer snack.
Cut up the apples and kiwi into big pieces and put them in a food processor or blender. Slice a lemon in half and squeeze the juice from one of the halves on top of the fruit. Blend or process on high until you have a smooth texture. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
Tip 1: Use organic produce if possible. Tip 2: I used a Fuji apple, but you can use any juicy apple that you like. Tip 3: You can store this applesauce in the refrigerator in a container with a lid for 1-2 days.

Media Release
Senator the Hon Robert Hill
Leader of the Government in the Senate
Minister for the Environment and Heritage
29 May 1999
Federal Environment Minister Robert Hill today called on Sydney residents to help ensure the city's beaches are free of pollution in time for the Olympics.
"The eyes of the world will be on Sydney next year and action needs to be taken now to ensure that plastic bags, cigarettes, syringes and other discarded waste doesn't end up in streets and stormwater drains," Senator Hill said.
The call came as Senator Hill announced funding to complete a network of stormwater pollution traps along Sydney's eastern suburb beaches.
"Waverley Council will receive $228,000 from the Natural Heritage Trust to install pollution traps on stormwater outlets at Bronte. It's the last beach in the area to get these pollution devices.
"If people did the right thing with litter and followed the rules of recycling, re-using and reducing waste then it would render these expensive stormwater pollution traps unnecessary," Senator Hill said.
The Bronte stormwater trap project is one of 17 in NSW to share in a total of $2 million from the Natural Heritage Trust.
