Mount Airy, Maryland – Murder-Suicide Confirmed In Deaths Of Frederick Co. FamilyBy admin • Sep 26th, 2009 • Category: News
DISCLAIMER - Any Charges Reported in these Press Releases are Merely Accusations and the Defendants are Presumed Innocent Unless and Until Proven Guilty.
(Mt. Airy, MD) – The four victims found dead inside a Frederick County home last night have been positively identified as the members of the family who lived at that address and died as a result of murder-suicide.
The deceased are identified as Charles L. Dalton Sr., 38, the husband and father, his wife, Jennifer A. Dalton, 37, their son, Charles L. Dalton Jr., 14, and their daughter, Emmaline E. Dalton, 7. All four lived in the quad-level home in the 300-block of Contour Road, Mt. Airy, Md.
The four were identified today during autopsies conducted at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore. The medical examiner determined each person died of a single gunshot wound to the head. The cause of death for Jennifer Dalton and her two children was murder. The cause of death for Charles Dalton Sr. was suicide.
Maryland State Police investigators and crime scene technicians spent last night and most of the early morning hours today processing the scene. Investigators said Jennifer Dalton was found lying in bed in the master bedroom. Charles Dalton Sr. was found lying next to the bed. A .12 gauge pump shotgun was found next to his body. Troopers have not found a suicide note.
Charles Dalton Jr. was found in bed in his bedroom. Emmaline Dalton was found in her bed in a separate bedroom.
The preliminary investigation indicates Mrs. Dalton and her two children were shot by her husband as they slept. Mr. Dalton then used the same shotgun to commit suicide. All four victims were shot in the head. A motive for the murders has not been clearly identified at this time.
The family dog, a beagle, was also found dead. The dog had been shot while in a crate inside the front door of the home.
Investigators believe the murders and suicide occurred between Thursday night and Friday morning. Mrs. Dalton failed to report to work at her part-time job at a veterinary hospital in Damascus. Fellow employees called her home and cell phone beginning at 8:30 a.m. Friday, but received no answer.
One of Mrs. Dalton's co-workers stopped by the house at 2:15 p.m. Friday, but there was no answer at the door. There was no school in Frederick County Friday.
Troopers learned Charles Dalton Sr. was self-employed as a carpenter and cabinet maker. He also worked the night shift as a maintenance worker for Montgomery County schools.
Charles Dalton Jr. was in ninth grade. He was a junior firefighter at the Mt. Airy Volunteer Fire Company, the same company that responded to his home yesterday. Emmaline Dalton was an elementary school student.

This hot and spicy salsa is made on the grill. Serve with chips or with chicken or fish. I like serving it with margaritas.
Preheat barbecue to medium.
1. Remove husks from corn cobs. Brush 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil on all sides and place on preheated grill. Brush tomatoes and chiles with remaining oil and place on grill. Grill, turning to brown all sides, about 20 minutes. When the corn starts to brown, remove from heat and let cool. When chiles and tomatoes start to blister, place in a plastic bag to sweat for 20 minutes.
2. Slice corn from cobs and place in a large bowl. Peel skins from sweated chiles. Cut chiles in half and scrape out seeds and membranes.
3. In work bowl fitted with metal blade, pulse chiles until chunky, about 10 times. Add to corn.
4. Peel skins off sweated tomatoes, remove cores and cut in half. Try removing all of the seeds. Place in same work bowl fitted with metal blade and pulse until smooth, about 10 times. Add to corn mixture.
5. In same work bowl fitted with metal blade, pulse onion, vinegar, sugar, oregano and salt until chunky, about 10 times. Add to corn mixture. Stir to combine. Let rest for 30 minutes.
You can use cherry tomatoes in place of Roma and you won't have to seed them.
Use a combination of 6 oz (175 g) jalapeño or hot banana peppers and 6 oz (175 g) poblano or cubanelle peppers if you can't find New Mexico chiles.
Do not run water over the chiles to try to loosen the skins. If the skins do not come off easily, you need to let them steam longer in the plastic bag. If you use water over the chiles, you will wash the flavor off.
Place the corn, tomatoes and chiles under the broiler until the skins bubble and the corn is browned, about 10 minutes.

We absolutely love the vinaigrette for this recipe, but I have never made it with halibut. I always serve this over sauteed tilapia sprinkled with a little salt & pepper. I usually double the amount of vinaigrette. I'm also not an onion lover, but in this recipe, the shallots taste wonderful and not too overpowering. Serve with couscous & a broccoli salad/slaw for a wonderful light meal.
Grilled Halibut with Lemon-Caper Vinaigrette

I've tried the recipe as is, as well as with the addition of 2-3 chopped kalamata olives per fillet. I like both versions. The olives go well with the capers and lemon juice but overpower the fish a little. If you love kalamatas (like I do), it's a nice variation. If you prefer more subtle flavors, the recipe as printed is delicious as well.

We love this! I have used a variety of white fish and the recipe is a hit every time. We always make extra sauce- and it always gets used. This is a fast easy dish that tastes like it took more effort than it did! We have served this with green beans, asparagus and pasta. When we did the pasta we made extra sauce and tossed it with the pasta.
CherCooks411 Posted: 06/09/11
A simple, elegant preparation. I dust the halibut with whole wheat flour, salt, and pepper - it makes a lovely crust on the fish that adds a nice texture contrast. I would serve this to guests.

This was a terrific and simple way to prepare firm grilled, firm, white fish steaks. I used Chilean Sea Bass. Brushed oil lightly on the skin side and flesh side, and cooked on med-hi heat at two minutes meat side down for two minutes. Flipped and cooked for 8 minutes, skin side down, covered. Can't guarantee those times for every piece of sea bass, these were approx. 7 oz each and very thick (perhaps 1.5 inches). I served on top some baby arugula and doubled the vinaigrette. Served with a side of grilled zucchini.
jspicest Posted: 09/15/13
This dish came together quickly and was quite tasty. However, given the cost of the halibut ($30 for a pound!), I expected the earth to move. And it was just good, not earth-shattering. I'm sure it would be great with a less expensive white fish.

This is like, the sequel to the original Ring Ma'am picture I posted and drew like yeeeeeears ago. It's Ring Man as a girl but, I mean, it's so far from Ring Man's design, WHAT'S THE POINT EVEN
Obviously I farted this out in like 7 minutes or something, really sloppy, but whatever, just wanted to get it out there. Hope you like it!

Dude, I have no idea how you were able to make this in only several minutes. What's great about this is how there is so much wonderful color in it. I guess I might have liked it more if the chick was hotter. Crudeness aside, this is fantastic, because while the lines aren't that great, they do a wonderful job of giving the picture personality. Every body part of this woman has great vibrant colors on it that are great to look at. The face is especially awesome.
It's hard to tell if the rings are part of her body or clothes or just hanging around. It looks like she's even holding one of the rings from the Sonic games! Her breasts look like giant pills. It's great to see an art piece that has so much vibrance and brightness to it. That's something I always look for in terms of drawings.

I was surprised to find it buried beneath. These thoughts push through the surface on their own.
And here I am searching for them willingly.
But not for long.
Some would say this is it. It's what we strive for. How is it enough? Is it even the right?
There's no telling. No telling.
Tell me I'm important. Say it's just what I needed. I've pleaded and pleaded.
How long do I wait 'til it's gone?
How long would you say is too long?
Mistakes shape my features. I'm hideous. Mirror mirror. It's ok, I can see they make me better.
Green eyes and pain. Lonely everyday. We want to surround you. Cover you in love. But you just won't let us. You shrug us of and ignore.
What I don't get is why it's so important, when you just waste it. It doesn't help. It's not permanent. It won't even bring back the time you spent.
We'll all cool off. It will be ok. Wait another day.

Leaders – (Trust+Responsibility)
by Zia Hassan
Do you know how does it feel if you know you don't have a job but you have a two years daughter for whom you need to buy milk , but you will not have enough money to buy that? Have you ever felt how it feels to stand in a small shop in the evening and think if the sell is so low you got to terminate your staff as you can't pay their salary any more?
Do you know how does it feel to be locked in a CNG three wheeler with your wife and kid when a passing procession starts hitting your vehicle with stones and makes attempt to arson your vehicle and you don't have any way out as it is locked from the drivers end ?
Do you know how does it feel when your father calls you to say, he has invested all his savings on your MBA and you are now required to find a job but all the offers that you are getting are some marketing jobs where maximum salary is 10k, which is not enough to pay monthly food bill of your family.
Do you know how does it feel to realize that even though you are getting older than 35 but you can't get married as your current job offers you 12k and there is no hope of significant increase in near or distant future.
Even if you have not felt this, you would observe in all the situations cited, one thing is common. That is every person, has to take responsibility. Responsibility of family, organization, community and oneself. Fear and shame fills your heart when you find yourself in a situation where you will fail to deliver what you are responsible for.
This responsibility defines a person. A persons life is measured by the scale of how successfully he manages to bear the responsibility that is entrusted on him.
Our existence as a mortal human being is all about taking responsibility.
By the same token, political leadership is about taking responsibility of the people, the country that one is entrusted to govern when he or she is in power or fight for their rights when he or she is in opposition.
The phone conversation (between two leaders) leaked to the media clearly demonstrates, our politicians are ignorant of this responsibility for the people. They are oblivious of the consequence of their decisions on peoples lives. That is the most dangerous conclusion that can be drawn from the conversation that is making rounds in the airwaves across the nation.
You must have heard about butterfly effect. Butterfly effect states that, even a wing movement of a butterfly in the forest of Sumatra have consequence in a tsunami in japan. This is one of the key part of the Chaos theory. If you take it other way round, you can see that the bigger the responsibility the bigger is the consequence of the decision.
Our two leaders seamed completely unaware that they are sitting in the most responsible position of the country and their decisions have grave is the impact of their decisions effect every single person of this country -all 16 crore of them. .
For them it is about personal vendetta, personal suffering, and past grievances – they are not remotely concerned about the impact of their decisions on peoples lives.
They say when Rome was burning Nero was playing flute. Can we really forgive our leaders who arson the country consciously and play tunes.
BNP and AL supporters might get offended but the actions of BNP leader Begum Khaleda Zia, and AL leader Sheikh Hasina, must be scanned under microscope.
As a leader of opposition, Begum Khaleda Zia has to take every opportunity which would allow her to evade the 3 days strike that was called. That is part of the responsibility that we entrusted her as opposition leader.
Strike is a valid political tool in your country – no question about that. Silly Strikes were called before. And, the current situation, when Awami League is trying to manipulate peoples will, by cancelling caretaker government through phony logic, does call for action from opposition and strike is one of the valid tool in that action.
But, If a strike has been called for certain demand and if that demand has been met even at the last second -that strike must be withdrawn.
A strike is a strike is a strike- it brings sufferings to people. It is utterly deplorable that, BNP called strike in demand of dialogue and when dialogue was offered, they said "OK lets continue the strike and we will speak after the strike is over."
If BNP had accepted the dialogue, then why this three days suffering is for?
Khaleda Zia even said, I can't go to your house since there is a strike?
Madam, may you please tell us how our sons and daughters will go to school ? How a pregnant lady who has to go to labor will go to hospital ? How the farmer who has some perishable vegetable, his investment of a whole year rotting his store will take this to market ? For a strike for which demand has been met and also accepted.
Mam. If you are leader, you got to take responsibility of your actions.
She said, she do not have time speak with other leaders of the alliance. She may or may not have time but the key question remains same. How least amount of responsibility they feel for the nation and how remotely unconcerned they are for the people.
BNP supporters cannot see the absurdity of the arguments placed by Begum Khaleda Zia. They are happy to see that she had a go at Sheikh Hasina. They can't see, she missed every opportunity to cancel a strike, which eventually resulted 16 lives.
They consider this as collateral damage. They can't see, the most valuable thing in this world is a persons life. A person has a family, a father, a mother, a daughter or a son to whom his value can not be exchanged for a billion dollar or for all the GDP of the world.
For saving a single life, wars have been fought. But, in the most densely populated country of the world, life of a person is possibly the cheapest commodity for the leaders .
So, the more lives will be lost there will be more intensity in the movement to bring down Sheikh Hasina government. A movement needs dead body- allegedly said by a leader in previous movements. BNP is possibly thinking, they will tread down the well worn path to resistance movement and anarchy across the country which will force the government out from power.
For Bangladesh politics that is legitimate course of event. But, that option should only be resorted when all other options has been exhausted, when the dialogues have failed.
On the other hand, Sheikh Hasina's government is one of the most repressive government in the history of Bangladesh. The number of people killed during protests in this year is more than any in recent memory.
The way they have tried to exploit political leverage by publishing the conversation of the top two leaders goes beyond any norm ad decency. For Awami league it is about gaining advantage. Through this action they have burnt all the bridges of trust of opposition, whom they have called for dialogue.
Awami League has proven they don't have any desire for dialogue. They only need a dialogue to give legitimacy to the election that they will conduct by hook and crook without caretaker government – which is supported unequivocally by the majority of the population.
What AL does not realize is, the most precious commodity for a leader and a party is trust. By publishing the dialogue which is confidential and is a matter of a ongoing process AL has proven they cannot be trusted.
People have learnt that, this party can not be trusted. On top of this, a lot of people suspect, Sheikh Hasina was aware that this conversation would be published later and she was unusually polite in her conversation which uncharacteristic of her.
I want to give the benefit of doubt to her. But, by allowing to publish a conversation that she had with her counterpart to get political advantage in her mostly friendly television channel, leave little room for doubt for most people. This will hurt AL in the long run. People will know that, this party can not be trusted.
If AL had any sincerity in their motivation they could not in a million years publish this conversation. The conversation of top two leaders is a state secret. It is indecent, it is dishonest, it is devoid of any sense of shame to publish this without the consent of each other, when a negotiation is gong on the outcome of which impacts life of all the people of the country.
AL might think they have gained some leverage by exposing the rants of Khaleda Zia but if you observe the actions of people, you will see nothing has changed. Not an iota of public opinion has moved in anybodies favor.
People who are supporters of BNP are happy that, their leader has shown great leadership by thumping on the mouth of Sheikh Hasina and they harping that Sheikh Hasina could not articulate herself upon the onslaught of Khaleda Zia .
On the other hand, AL supporters are saying how much mature Sheikh Hasina sounded and what an ill tempered lady Khaleda Zia is.
Judging from these responses, you can figure out this country is so polarized that there no absolute truth any more, truth is about relativity. You also realize a big part of the population has lost objectivity by subscribing to dogma their leaders preached and they are unable to question their leadership anymore and are happy to stand by the bad motives of their leaders.
In the end, this dialogue has reinforced what people already knew that the fate of 16 crore people is at the mercy of two feuding ladies who have no awareness, consciousness and sensitivity to the sufferings of people and they have no concern about their responsibility to people and how their actions impact them and they can't be trusted.
In their first opportunity to have conversation instead of talking to each other – they only talked about each other.

Walker: Absurdist classic steeped in grime, grit, blood
The United States has always fancied itself master of the Western Hemisphere. From the Monroe Doctrine of 1823 through the Reagan Doctrine of the 1980s and on to the present day, Central and South American countries have frequently found themselves the unhappy victims of "gringo meddling."
In 1853, an ambitious Yankee adventurer named William Walker embarked on a mission to bring American-style freedom and democracy to the people of Nicaragua. Having previously established the short-lived Republic of Lower California in northern Mexico, Walker was determined to repeat the process in Central America — and he succeeded, albeit temporarily.
Walker's strange but true story is the subject of director Alex Cox's satiric 1987 biopic Walker, screening at 6:00 pm on Saturday, Oct. 6 at Pacific Film Archive as part of the Archive's current series 'Rebel Without Applause: The Films of Alex Cox.' As a substantial added bonus, Cox will be in attendance for a post-screening interview with former Village Voice film critic J. Hoberman. … Continue reading »

When the temperature begins to dip into the negatives, we long for a way to elongate our summer wardrobe and transition it into the autumn months. Layering has been a fall styling staple and this season we're adding a new twist to the technique — dresses paired with pants. If you're envisioning a hippie mom at Folk Fest, think again, this version of layering is much more high fashion and sleek.
No accessory has more style power than the scarf. Versatile, inexpensive and practical, the scarf is worth its weight in fashion gold.
I have always said that the ability to accessorize separates us from the animals and there is no more important accessory to an outfit than your shoes.
Whether it's down-to-earth basics, or out-of-this-world pieces rendered in daring new materials, there's no shortage of must-haves for him and her this fall.
Few people know towels better than Jennifer Gaudet.
Whether you're high school- or university-bound this September, back-to-school style is brimming with prints, nods to past decades and — true to scholastic form — an abundance of denim. Top trends include plaid (think updated grunge), playful prints and athletic elements that would make Sporty Spice proud.
Summer music festivals are great places to showcase your personal style and check out others'.
There's an art to placing art in the home, says local decor specialist and home stager Brenda Acheson.
I find it very troubling when I see a couple and the woman looks great but her gentleman looks as if he were just washing the car. It's an exciting time for men's fashion right now, but I often hear from guys that it's going to cost too much money to update their look or they don't know where to start. Here are six ideas.
Forget everything you know about what's considered acceptable footwear these days.

Radko Gudas has an injury so mysterious that not even his coach knows what's going on. Jon Cooper spoke to Erik Erlendsson of The Tampa Bay Tribune yesterday, and he claimed to not know what is wrong with the defenseman. As per Erlendsson's report:
That one I don't know, but I'm mildly surprised he has not come back. But whatever it is, he's not ready to go.
It's important to note that the Tampa Bay Lightning have not classified this injury as a concussion, yet the timing and the incident that has caused Gudas to miss three contests seem to point toward a head injury of some kind. The bruising defenseman hasn't played since November 22.
That was a game against the Anaheim Ducks, and Gudas dropped the gloves with Luca Sbisa.
Gudas had cracked Mathieu Perreault with a hard check in the corner. After the play was whistled down, Sbisa skated down from the blue line to voice his opinion. Gudas "answered the bell" and ended up eating a right cross to the jaw for his trouble.
He left that game immediately after the knockout punch, and has not played since. For a Lightning team that is already banged up at forward, they're missing Gudas in a big way. The defender brings little bit of everything to the ice on a nightly basis, and is just as capable of scoring as he is of blocking shots.

"I'm pretty sure we got the best option and are fully protected." I hear that all the time from business aircraft owners & operators. After talking to them for only a few minutes their response changes to, "Geez. Now I'm not so sure."
Whether you've been with your current broker for decades or just switched to a new one, ask these five questions every year to make sure you've got the best insurance coverage for your current situation.
I feel compelled as a professional in this industry for many years to mention this topic. I am VERY active on Linked In and numerous business aviation and safety related topics. I have received at least 4-5 personal calls and e-mails from major players in the industry in the past few months regarding photos. This is inclusive of anyone I believe looking for work, whether a F/A, pilot, S&D, A&P, etc. May I suggest that you have a professional business attire photo?
The challenge of winter flying can be stressful. As we know, winter weather is often very dynamic. Successful winter travel is based on smart navigation of winter weather; no matter what sort of snow, ice, sleet or freezing rain you may encounter. As always, it's most important to arrive safe and sound.
This season, winter has been wrought with extreme cold, and a new set of problems for travelers. Fast-moving storm fronts bring wind gusts, snow drifts and heavy ice. These conditions require careful planning in order to minimize their effects. The so-called "polar vortex," a weather system of dense, frigid air is blamed for at least 21 cold-related deaths across the country. It spread to the East and the Deep South, shattering records that in some cases, have stood for more than a century.
Group member Stuart Logie's excellent book "Winging It" the story of the Canadair Challenger 600 has been re-released for Kindle devices.
The book is about the planning, manufacturing and certification of the Canadair Challenger 600 business jet, an aviation engineering marvel and a story of determined perseverance by the key players in this saga. It begins with a short and very insightful history of Canadair and the Canadian aerospace industry, the remainder of the book deeply explores the complex story of developing the Canadair Challenger 600.
FBOs and charter airlines are in a strong position to capitalise on the belt-tightening consequences of recent economic conditions that affect general aviation and corporate business. That's providing they are able to articulate their value in a meaningful way.
Value, to paraphrase, is in the eye of the beholder. Understanding what that means in reality and then being organised to do something about it puts companies on track for that competitive edge and long-term growth and stability they need.
Focusing on customers is nothing new. In designing and implement customer strategies, there's no shortage of advice on why that's a good thing. But the piece that's often missing is how to use it in a way that creates real business benefits.
Here are some tips that go some way to plugging the gaps.
We are fortunate to have Soluna Air Charter based in Ohio, also known to residents as the "Birthplace of Aviation." The phrase is even captioned on our license plates throughout the state. Most people attribute it to the Wright Brothers, or other famous aviation historians that are responsible for this title. Yet, we have a true living legend in aviation in central Ohio, and her name is Zoe Dell Landis Nutter.
Sequestration legislation is now looming directly overhead for many small airfields around the nation. The NBAA reported this week that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is preparing to "finalize a plan for closing nearly 170 air traffic control towers and other facilities." NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen wrote the FAA share the business aviation community's concerns with the plan, and offer possible solutions.
When you are planning a new advertisement for either a publication such as
Executive Controller magazine, or Business Air magazine, do you think about
these items when you have photographs taken of the aircraft currently for sale or lease?
Every day I drive by an old and abandon aviation high school. The hollow site is located near my office and the building sits at an end of a runway, its slowly crumbling away in the wind.
So I was pleased to learn that PHASTAR, Northeast Ohio's aviation non-profit, is breathing life back into this building, filling the halls once again with the voices of children. Programs and subjects will be offered, geared toward education in the maritime and aviation fields

The Adams County Commissioners held the first reading of the revised wind ordinance, as proposed by the plan commission, at their weekly meeting on Monday.
Approximately 20 residents came to hear the commissioners' responses.
The county council joined the county commissioners on Monday for a brief meeting to discuss forming a superior court project committee, which would include members of each body.
Commissioner Doug Bauman announced that all three commissioners had volunteered to be on the committee. He then expressed his belief that with an actual committee dedicated to the project, it will move along much more efficiently.
Derek Loshe, rural Decatur, is one of the newest officers on the Decatur Police Department.
A 2002 graduate of Bellmont High School, he received a degree in criminal justice from ITT. Loshe graduated from the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy last March 22.
Loshe, the son of Cheryl (William) Bosch and Richard Loshe, is married to Amanda Murdock-Loshe; they have two children, Canaan (1) and Reese (6).
The Adams County Rotary Club is set to receive a $3,000 district grant, which the club will match with an additional $1,500 to sponsor three benches in the Decatur branch of the Adams County Public Library's proposed Storybook Park.
Bellmont High School's graduating class of 1968 has already raised $5,000 to sponsor the park's other three benches, and continues to raise funds to sponsor lampposts and other items in the park.
The Decatur Fire Department was dispatched three times Saturday, the most serious of those incidents – a fire in an apartment building – being the last call of the day.
At 7:33 p.m. firefighters responded to a report of a shrub fire at the apartment of Terry Mayo, 1131 S. Hampton Dr. When firefighters arrived, they discovered the attic area of the apartment was engulfed, according to a spokesperson for the department.
Work continues at a steady pace at the site of the now-demolished former street department/city utility building.
Decatur Street/Sanitation Superintendent Jeremy Gilbert said Friday that the project is some 70 percent complete.
Illegal dumping in the town of Monroe's refuse collection area on S. Van Buren St. has led to the town council potentially taking large steps towards finding the culprits.
President Al Lehman told council members Thursday that the refuse area, which is supposed to be used as a compost site, has once again become the dumping ground for everything from garbage to building materials.
Adams County school districts, as well as those across several states, are rescheduling and retaking tests that were interrupted Monday and Tuesday.
Thousands of students in Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota and Oklahoma have been kicked offline while taking tests in recent weeks, postponing the testing schools planned for months and raising concerns about whether the glitches will affect scores, The Associated Press reported.
Dozens of Decatur residents devoted the middle of their day to prayer by the Peace Monument on Thursday, in keeping with the National Day of Prayer.
The noontime observance was held by the Decatur Ministerial Association.
Dr. Robert Brink of Decatur Church of God opened the service by explaining the need for prayer in everyone's life.
The Adams County Farm Service Agency office is currently without a director, and will be for the foreseeable future, according to Indiana FSA Director Julia Wickard.
A hiring freeze that has been in place at the federal level since December of 2012 prevents the United States Department of Agriculture from filling the vacancy, Wickard said.
The state director said Adams is not the only county in Indiana to currently be without a full-time director.

Thank you Mr. Hobbs (and those that have left comments as well) for one of the most entertaining articles I have ever read on this site. Although I've have no witty retorts to toss to our less esteemed colleagues, I do have to say I fall on the side of Warlocks on this one. I've got no mages, but I do have a li'l 27 Warlock, who has accepted but not started her Succubus quest. But that's mainly because she's leveled from 20-27 this past year pretty much just logging on during the holidays and doing the various holiday quests. I must say, I've been lucky with my minion names so far... the Imp's is pronounced Jacob, and my VW's is pronounced TankThat. :)

Its not always the high ranking private schools that produce the intellects, although the better ones do hire the best and brightest, and offer more courses (but that what you pay for).
You can compare a lazy kid from Harvard, to a hard working intellect from U Mass, and I'd hire the hard worker. Its not the Diploma, its who is holding it.
Okay I get it we have lousy test scores for Math and Science at the elementary, middle school and high school; but 7 out of 10 best universities in the world. Must be all of the student body at these schools are from elsewhere because our students are so poorly prepared they can't get in.
What a crock... every time I hear about how poorly US students do on standardized testing compared to the rest of the world I want to puke. Anyone who reports that type of data know they are comparing apples to oranges. The rest of the world does not educate every child, and those children in trade schools do not take the tests.
Come on.

Eggative Nequity Souffle
Posted By admin on January 20, 2009
Eggative Nequity Souffle
Well, it's not really a souffle, it's much simpler, but this dish is so cheap and easy we felt it deserved a mention. It has been known in our family as Eggy Pudding for years, so we felt it deserved a name upgrade to reflect the current economic climate.
If you like Jacket spuds, wash some, slit the skins and start them off in the microwave before you start the making the pie. They can finish off in the oven when you put the pie in.
First, well grease or butter an ovenproof pie dish, or souffle dish. Chop an onion, a pepper and tow or three mushrooms and sweat them gently in butter or oil until they are soft, but not coloured. Put them in the bottom of the dish, along with any leftover peas, broccoli, ham, cooked bacon etc that you may have. Don't use leafy greens or root veg, it spoils it.
Take a one pint jug and break into it three eggs, add a little over half a pint of milk, season with a little bit of salt (not too much as cheese is quite salty) add some chopped herbs,a bit of mustard to bring out the cheese flavour, and as much grated cheese as you like. I always cram mine to the top of the jug. We like cheese.
Whip it up vigorously with a fork, pour into the prepared dish, and shove it in the middle of a pre-heated, moderate oven at gas Mark 4, 180C, or 350F.
You can put your jacket spuds in below it if you want.
It takes 30 -40 minutes to cook, depending on the size of the eggs. Check that it is cooked through in the middle, but don't overcook it or you'll have a giant rubber 'omelette' to contend with. I wait until mine is a deep golden brown, then turn the oven off, and leave the pie in the oven with the door ajar whilst I get spuds dished up. The egg will continue to cook and firm up even though the oven is off.
Serve with the jacket spuds, dolloped with a bit of thick home made yoghurt flavoured with chopped chives, a side salad from the garden and a hunk of nice fresh crusty homemade bread. Delicious..and very economical!

Parents and children gaze at Curious George's antics on a movie screen, which is situated amid the same stencil work, pews, and fixtures that have decorated Charter Oak Cultural Center's building since its construction in 1876. Once the first synagogue to be built in Connecticut, it currently hosts the center's theatrical performances, film showings, and gallery exhibits, which all center around the idea that art is sustenance for the mind. With a belief that open and equal access to the arts fosters the community as a whole, it aims to enrich minds through four key activity types—artistic, cultural, educational, and historic preservation—that are often free. Its youth arts institute is endorsed by the Hartford Public Schools superintendent's office and aims to supplement curricula with programs before, after, and after-after school. In adult-learning workshops, instructors advise on topics such as what to consider before going back to school, while the center's Homegrown Dance movement supports seven local companies.

Aside from household cleaning and maintenance, the company's technicians and handymen can repair damage to tiles, grout, cabinets, and wooden decks.

Many are the times that people have opted to use diet pills in trying to attain their rightful BMIs. This is because the usual means of dieting and exercising may not always work as is desired.
Weight loss products work to help people shed much off the weight they cannot be able to get rid of through normal dieting processes.
However, there are plenty of products in the market and these may not always work like they are expected to do.
Others may cause negative side effects which derail their benefits as weight loss supplements. Many more just do not work to give the results that they promise when you buy them.
Here are few ways to find out whether or not the weight loss supplement you have your eyes set on is a diet product that actually works-
1. Read reviews about the product from those who have used it before – In this way, you will be able to know the kind of efficacy to expect from a weight loss supplement. You will always find a lot of information from customers who give accurate accounts of their experiences using these products. For example, you can watch dr oz garcinia cambogia video. You provably know that it's the most popular diet product at this moment.
2. Look for as many studies available on the product as possible – When you are able to sample the result of such studies from several sources, you will be able to know whether or not the product is worth its value.
3. Look at the ingredients used in the product – Many weight loss supplements do not meet the expectations placed on them simply because they contain many fillers and additives and little of the compounds which actually work towards weight loss. At the same time, you need to be sure that all the chemicals contained in the product will not work negatively on you.
4. Has it been endorsed by major players in the health and fitness sector? This will be a clear indicator that the product in question has immense attributes.
There are indeed several diet products that are available in the market. However, not all of them will give you the results that you desire. It is important not to go for a product merely because it promises swift results. You need to be sure that it will be safe for you and will be as effective in helping you shed weight as you hope for.
Garcinia Cambogia is a popular product used by many people hoping to shed off some weight. Of course those who have not tried it are apprehensive of its results. Does garcinia cambogia really work? To get the answer, there are several things you need to consider. In this way, you will be sure of the efficacy of this product should you decide to buy it.

Biennials are a long-standing tradition in the art world. These events that take place every other year allow emerging artists to show case their art work, make connections, get seen, and often compete for award money. These events take place all over the world: The Venice Biennale (est. 1895) in Italy; The Whitney Biennial in New York; Biannale de Paris in France; etc.
As the art world turns its gaze on Los Angeles, The Hammer Museum and non-profit art gallery, LAXART have teamed up to create a Biennial event that could only happen here. With 60 emerging artists creating art that will be displayed all over Los Angeles, including The Hammer Museum, Barnsdall Art Park and LAXART gallery in Culver City. They've also added a bit of humor by including a tongue-in-cheek Venice Beach Biennial event as a nod to the original Venice Biennale. This should make for an exciting Summer for Art in L.A.
Also, keep your eye on Los Angeles, I'm Yours they are doing an excellent job of covering the event. They've been profiling an artist a day until they've covered each of the 60 artists participating in Made in L.A.
"Made In L.A. is coming to the Hammer, Barnsdall Park, LAXART, and billboards around town on June 2 and will showcase sixty emerging, under-recognized Los Angeles artists–one of which will be voted to win a $100,000 prize. In order to help you make an educated vote this summer, we're counting down to Made In L.A. by showcasing each artist participating in the biennial." - Los Angeles, I'm Yours

Topshop opens Secret Store
If you're heading down to Topshop's flagship store on Oxford Circus (or if like us, you're there all the time), we've got a secret to share with you.
If you look hard enough, hidden behind a floral display designed by Meadham Kirchoff on the Lower Ground Floor, you'll find a doorway to Topshop's latest pop-up shop, the Secret Store.
The Alice in Wonderland style passageway will lead you to headpieces by Nasir Mazhar, jewellery by Meadham Kirchhoff, scarves by Steven Morris, homeware, luggage and some beautifully embroidered maxi-dresses from Topshop Boutique. And that's just a snippet of what's in store.
Visit Topshop in London's Oxford Street or New York from 26th May to find the Secret Store for yourself. In the meantime, see our favourite pieces from the collection below.
Based in Ghent, Belgium, ROAis renowned for his giant black and white animals. ROA started painting abandoned buildings and warehouses in the isolated industrial areas of his hometown. Since then, his work has been seen in New York, London, Berlin, Warsaw, and Paris.
ROA recently had his first solo exhibition at Galerie Intinerrance in February, 2010 and has an upcoming show at Pure Evil Gallery in London starting April 8, 2010.

"Almost everyone who enters the room feels an urge to sit down on the benches in the middle of the space. It's as if the emotional weight of these sombre works instinctively makes you sit, instantly drained by them. Before you even have time to try to compose a rational understanding of them, they have a psychological impact….In London, the Rothko room is disturbing, but liberating too. It frees the imagination. It creates the effects of great architecture and fresco painting using abstract daubings hung in a gloomy chamber."

Sounds pretty hostile to me.
As I keep saying, I have no idea whether it works or not, and no reason to adopt a pro or anti position.
I will wait and see. Arguing about it in the way it is conducted here with people brandishing hearsay at each other is a waste of time.
Sorry you feel that way. I think that public conversation should be governed by a kind of civility that includes an awareness not only of the greater good but a desire for authentic knowledge. And do you know something? You may never have thought of it this way, but future shift happens.
Knowledge is not something that you learned in a book as a Freshman in college. It lives and breaths, growing and changing, finding out that what we believed ten years ago, fifty years ago, two hundred years ago, four hundred years ago, is not quite right or even entirely untrue. The Sun does not rotate around the earth. Slavery is not good. The continents do ride on tectonic plates. Cold fusion is real.
Too many people participating in discussions about alternative energy on the internet seem to think that they are god's gift to the future, while heaping a continual stream of abuse on anyone is actually even trying to bring about an improvement in human life through the reform of today's moribund, profiteering, ecologically retrograde energy system.
We all know there are scams. We don't need to be reminded of that fact. But sometimes there's also something called progress. Our job is to try to distinguish one from the other. In this thread (of which I have admittedly only sampled given its great length -- which is *itself* a testimony that something of importance may be happening here) I've seen a depressing amount of a priori character assassinations of Mr. Rossi and not nearly enough gathering of factual information from other internet sources that would actually help the participants to make an informed judgement about how to assess Rossi's claims, or those of Defkalion, or of MIT, NASA, or SRI. That is what the bright technical minds on this forum should be helping us do. The blithe cliche of ringing changes on the "since I don't believe in it, it doesn't exist" is getting tiresome.
Opposing LENR because you don't know enough about it to have an informed opinion is fine as long as you don't start accusing anyone of fraud. At that point, as far as I am concerned, you are at the limits of responsible exercise of free speech. Like I said, Tec, nothing personal.

Essex pub rockers Dr Feelgood never scaled the heights of the Sex Pistols and The Clash.
But Julien Temple admires them enough to end a trilogy of documentaries about '70s British music with a clearly affectionate homage to the Canvey Island foursome whose incendiary R&B paved the way for punk.
Archive footage shows the quartet's reputation as an electric live act to be more than justified, guitarist Wilko Johnson recalling Ian Curtis with his manic stare and jerky movements.
The pay-off comes later, though, Johnson fighting back tears as he sees his image projected on the petrochemical works he grew up beside.

iPhone 4 has 802.11n, but not the "awesome" 802.11n
I suspect many people were very happy to see that the iPhone 4 was listed as having 802.11n. I know that I was. I have a dual-band network at home which separates 802.11n from 802.11b/g, and that's made a huge difference in transfer times. But there's also another benefit of 802.11n: it can use the...

Categories > Movies > Aliens/Predator > Tension Book 1
Chapter Nine: History repeats itself0 Reviews
HUMANS HAVE INVADED OUR HOME Mark felt sick. Could it possibly be that humans were checking up on him to see if the aliens he had befriended had killed him? It was a longshot but he couldn't think of any other reason that they could be here. What can I do to help? I want to pay them back for killing Stride. At least these ones anyway.
The queen and Stalker stared at him in shock. Mark these are you kind, are you sure you want to turn your back on your own kind for killers of your kind?Mark sighed, he had been forced to make a choice that destroyed him inside. He had met Stalker and had a second chance at love.
I am positive. They will pay for they did to me and Stride. but the one good thing is I met Stalker and I will help defend the hive. Just these humans though will suffer.
Before anyone could move, the next moment happened so quickly that no one could have predicted it. Smoke bombs erupted into the room and Mark knew that they had snuck up on him. He went near where he thought Stalker was but instead of finding her comforting presense, he felt rough hands hands grab him roughly and suddenly he knew without a doubt that he was doomed.
"Mark Camen, why the fuck haven't you been killed by the aliens? They should have ripped you apart." Mark struggled against the hard vice-like grip that held him. "Well no matter, your in luck, since I am feeling generous, I will let you redeam yourself. Maybe you will have learned from the last time." Dread iced it's way up into Mark's heart. No way was he going to go through the act of losing another he loved.
(Shit, not this shit again) he thought frantically. (Please let it not be her, Please let it not be her)
Stalker bound and her tail tied down was lead into the area.
The final battle from Silent Hill 3 plays during this)
Mark was set down and handed an ax. He stared up at her, I can't, not youShe hissed at him in annoyance. If you don't, it will be much worse for me when they do it. I love you and I know...before she could finish her thought, a spear made of electriciy flew by Mark and struck deep into the soldier next to him, sending him deep into the wall. Blood pooled on the floor as he screamed in agony.
But that wasn't the worst part, as he hung there, the staff began to glow and slowly the man's skin began to peel away. Flesh started to melt and soon the internal oragans were soon exposed. They dropped down with a wet plop. The soldier was still alive and screamed as slowly his bones began to drop. His screaming still reverberated in the room and sent shivers down everyone's back.
(End song)
A figure appeared next to the bones and Mark gasped as he recognized it. Humans knew him as a Predator and the Zen called him Yuan. This one though looked completely different. For starters he was a completely different color. A very dark blood red that pierced the soul. Such a thing had never been heard of that everybody in the room was shocked and couldnt move as the abnormally colored Predator calmly strode up to Mark.
"I will give you three seconds to move youself from the horrible creatures that you are standing next to. I am feeling generous today so I will not kill you if you move yourself." The queen stared at Mark horrfied at the decsion that she had heard the Yuan use. Here a Predator was potentially sparing a human to get to her children. Will Mark betray them. She half hoped that he wouldn't but she didn't want him to die for her children.
(The Shadow of the Colossus Messenger from Behind theme plays)
Mark had never heard of a Predator willing to spare a human before. He must really hate the Zen to spare a helpless human. He stared at Stalker who had been a friend to start out with. She had rescued him when life had seemed pointless and then taught him to have more faith in her kind then he ever got from his own kind, and then he fell in love with her so soon after Stride's death. In truth he cared more toward an alien race then the humans that had sent him here to die. But if they hadn't sent him here to "Die" then he would have never met Stalker and had a shot of true happiness again.
He then looked at the Predator and making his descion shouted "No fucken way, they are my last true friends in this world." The Predator laughed a long gutteral laugh that sent shivers down even the Zen's backs. "So be it human. I gave you a chance to live. Don't you dare beg for your life. It won't happen."
Without waiting for the traditional battle ritual that his kind normally used, he quickly punched Mark causing him to fly straight toward the other side of the hall and everyone heard the Pop of snaping bones as Mark slowly fell down. Oddly though, he could move when he should have been put out of commision. He didn't have time to think about it as already the Predator was beginning his next attack. The fucker was fast but he was too sure of his success and was very slightly a split second slow.
Mark rolled to the right barely dodging the attack and he felt the wind of the attack blow by him and he trembled to think if he had been slow by one second he would have been crushed. This Predator was fast even for the species and he wondered at where he got the strength and speed from. A sword was lying on the ground and he thanked whatever marine had dropped it. He didn't think about why a marine would bring a sword to kill him with. All he cared about was killing this ugly mother fucker!
Upon seeing the sword a glint came to the Predator's eye from. "You call that a sword, that is a mere toy. You may have dodged one attack but how do you propose to kill me. He then stared hard at the sword and his eyes glowed a yellow color. The blade bent in a loop and then shot toward Mark. The blade glinted and Mark was forced to drop it, causing it to revert to normal. What madness was this? No amount of psychic powers could truly bend an object toward a person?
He then noticed a nail sticking seemingly conveiently out of the wall. If he could impale the fucker ...maybe then he could kill this wierd creature that defied even its own kind's capablities. He then ran as fast as he could toward the predator, causing it to slightly wonder why. Hoping this would be enough to kill, he aimed a spinning double kick straight toward the Predator. Sheer desperation and the fact that he had surprise on his side caused the Predator to be driven backwards impaling himself on the sharp nail.
But the Predator's eyes mearly glinted. "Very well done human, but..." His arms shot out grabbing Mark painfully and yanking him towards him. The nail impaled the boy painfully in the middle and it was not a small nail. Mark yelled as the Predator dragged him terribly closer. Soon the nail was sticking out of his back and blood was forming on the floor. Then with strength that didn't compare to being weakened even slightly, the monster threw him to the right.
Mark screamed as one side of his stomach was ripped half-way open drenching the walls and causing blood to pump out in streaming gobs. He fell to the ground and even though he knew it was pointless he put hands to his side wincing at the pain. The Predator walked slowly forward yelling in pain. It seems the nail was weaking it. "So you have weakened me after all human." Yelling he ripped himself off tearing a huge chunk out of his own skin. Greenish blood pooled and he held his own hand to his stomach. "It appears to be a draw. I know when I am beat but know this human, I will heal. You won't. You can keep your precious bugs but know this, you won't survive with that big a wound. I will come back for them."
He then vanished and Mark knew that was another power that this one had. He winced in pain as blood formed under him as he was too severly weakened and suddenly he knew he was going to die. No don't say that you will be fine. Please you have got to be alright. You can't die now. We have healers. The Zen have healers. You can't fucken leave me.
Mark was going to speak but the pain of having half his side open hurt like hell and he couldn't even form words in his mind. Blood was continuing to spray and he failed to notice the main Marine walk over. Instead he settled for lying down but before he went he settled for laying a comforting hand on his beloved. Stalker realizing that he was in too much pain to speak laid her head on his stomach knowing that would calm him down about dying. Mark couldn't believe he was going to die after all this time but knowing that fate wanted him, settled for being with his beloved.
His eyes closed slowly as if on their own and then he was falling into darkness.

Turners and Growers confirms Apollo Apple talks as it plans for growth
Turners & Growers [NZX: TUR], the fruit marketer controlled by Germany's BayWa Aktiengesellschaft, has confirmed acquisition discussions with Hawke's Bay orchard and packaging company Apollo Apples as it announces its new strategy for growth.
In a statement to the NZX the Auckland-based company confirmed a media report that it was in talks with Apollo, but said "discussions may not ultimately lead to a transaction and, if any agreement is entered into, it is expected to be conditional upon various matters."
Turners & Growers announced its new strategic blueprint after a 12 month consultation period. It said it will strengthen its focus on international trading opportunities, including outside of its key fruits of pipfruit, grapes and kiwifruit.
The company said it continued to recognise the on-going importance of it domestic business, which remained a key component of the new strategy.
Part of the strategy includes continuing to work with New Zealand Trade and Enterprise's Better by Design programme, as well as strengthening its partnership with BayWa to expand opportunities both locally and overseas.
"Having a global focus is critical to explore new markets, new products and new opportunities," Alastair Hulbert, T&G's chief executive, said in a statement. "We see great potential for us to leverage our expertise, our intellectual property and our processes to grow our international business significantly in the coming years."
The blueprint comes after a period of uncertainty for the company. Last year the former chief executive, Geoff Hipkins, quit suddenly amid media reports of a breakdown in working relationships with senior management. Hulbert took over the lead role several months later.
Reporting its first-half profits in August last year, the company forecast it was track to "exceed the profitability of 2012" when it reported a net loss of $15.3 million due to write-downs in the value of its kiwifruit orchards.
The shares, of which BayWa owns about 73 percent, were unchanged at $1.82 and have gained 10 percent in the past 52 weeks.
Comments and questions6
Will the new strategy involve Australia?
despite the mood of disappointment, Apple and Pear Australia Ltd (APAL) has expressed its support for fruit growers as they faced the future.
"It's a tough day for a lot of fruit growers in the Goulburn Valley who supply SPC Ardmona," APAL CEO John Dollisson said in a release.
"While we are disappointed with the government's decision, we have to look to the future and create new opportunities for growers.
"For example, there is huge potential for growers to diversify their pear production, plant improved varieties and aim to export their fruit – to make their businesses and their orchards more competitive and profitable."Around 90% of Australia's pears and 40% of its apples are grown in the Goulburn Valley region of Victoria, where the SPC factory is located. "We will be doing everything we can to support our growers there to help them plan for their future in the wake of this news." An APAL release highlighted it was helping develop new pear varieties for Australian growers through its support for New Zealand-based breeder Prevar. The association also established the Pear Steering Committee last year to find and identify ways to help pear growers.
"The most important thing besides the relationship with growers in New Zealand, is to expand our global presence. The access and improvement we need to make from a volume point of view in Asia was a key driver for the investment for BayWa, and to strengthen our relationship with growers for instance in Washington State, in Peru, Chile, South Africa, France and so on." Lutz adds that Turners & Growers' profitability in the consolidation period was much better than expected and helped the balance sheet of BayWa. ... "I think we're seeing a continuation of that mega-trend in Asia – the growing middle class with disposable income which is pre-disposed towards towards an imported quality food product.
"I talk about Asia in the wider sense here – it's not just India and China. You can't ignore Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore – great markets and growing markets for quality food product." He says non-tariff barriers tend to "raise their ugly heads" quite frequently in Asia, as is the case with Indonesia and the bureaucracy surrounding entry. "But if you have that quality product and you have that traceability, it's not really an issue." Hipkins says the production base for Enza's PVR varieties is increasing in France, northern Italy, Washington State, South Africa, Chile, Australia and New Zealand. The executive is dismissive of some industry commentary that there are too many apples for buyers to choose from in the market. http://www.freshfruitportal.com/2013/02/27/nz-turners-growers-changing-the-way-it-ships-to-market/?country=new%20zealand .
A key addition to the Delica Australian business in 2012 was the beginning of the import arm, Delica Domestic, which has gained access to the major Australian supermarket chains. ENZAFoods, the Group's manufacturer of processed fruit, continued to increase its sales volume of fruit ingredient products and completed a major capital investment in a new fruit ingredients factory for further growth in this sector.
Delica Australia: Following two exceptionally difficult growing years in Australia, growing conditions stabilised in the latter half of 2012. Early season products performed poorly as the 2011 weather conditions still had an impact, yet crop volumes returned to more regular levels in the mid to
late part of 2012 due to more settled weather conditions. This reflected in the revenue leap of 23% for Delica Australia. Citrus, asparagus and table grapes performed well whereas stone fruit was slightly down on 2011.
A key addition to the Delica Australian business in 2012 was the beginning of the import arm, Delica Domestic. This has been a successful venture with trading relationships established with all major Australian supermarket chains.
Fruitmark (trading name of ENZACOR Pty Ltd): Fruitmark's contribution was disappointing in 2012 compared to the previous year. As the company focuses on importing high quality processed fruit products for the manufacturing and food service sectors and local supply of fresh cut vegetable products to the quick service restaurants, it was heavily impacted by the depressed conditions of the Australian food and fruit based beverage manufacturing market in 2012. 100% juice product consumption trended downward with consumers looking for alternatives based on water. Despite these poor market conditions and one-off restructuring requirements, the company continued to trade profitably. An area of growth for Fruitmark is sales of apple solids into the bakery, food service and infant markets. There are favourable prospects of expanding into complementary
stone fruit products from New Zealand. Additionally there are promising expectations for trading locally processed vegetables into the quick service restaurants. Profitability is expected to return to historically achieved levels in 2013. http://www.turnersandgrowers.com/assets/YearlyReportDownloads/TG-Annual-Report-2012-Web.pdf
Talley says they will be limited to the restaurant trade:
Frozen foods, cheese and fresh vegetables are among the goods affected, and cereals may also be on the hit list.
Talley's joint managing director Michael Talley says the company has been "delisted" from house brand tenders by supermarket giant Coles, to give preference to Australian suppliers, and Woolworths - that name again - was following a similar policy. This is a serious situation as it will have an impact on the company's farmers' contracts and jobs at New Zealand factories. Talley's are left with catering sales only in Australian institutions and restaurants. The reaction from this side of the Tasman has been swift. Prime Minister John Key says he will raise the issue of two major Australian supermarket chains running a Buy Australia campaign with Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott in Sydney today. It was undetermined whether the campaign was a breach of the Closer Economics Relations (CER) trade pact, he said. Labour have come out and said it is.
It is suprising that T&G are still talking about their relationship with growers and of having kiwifruit as one of their "key fruits". The experience of the members of our society ( The Forgotten Growers or could that be " Turners forgets Growers" ) is that they do not care about growers. As far as we can tell they now have no kiwifruit growers other than their own plantings.
The new German owners were so keen to get approval to invest that they told the OIO that they would get into bed with Zespri ( now under investigation by the SFO). That meant they effectively had to surrender their intellectual property rights in their own PVR kiwifruit varieties. This is the same company that entered into Service Level Agreements with Zespri under which Zespri dictated the terms as to price , volume and market access to the detriment of it's kiwifruit growers and returns to its shareholders.
The TFG Society INc has been established to assist growers in contract negotiations and advice in dealing with T & G and other fruit exporters borne out of this unfortunate experience of being sacrifical lambs.
At least four key long-term factors underlie the increase in fruit and vegetable trade:
A growing middle class in emerging market countries has demonstrated a strong demand for product quality, variety, convenience, and the benefits of healthy and nutritious fruits and vegetables, further boosting trade in these products. Second, technological innovations, most notably in communication and transportation, have lowered the transaction costs of international trade, thus making imports more affordable. For example, retailer Ahold adopted Google Apps Premier Edition to provide a single Web-based communication system among its global employees that includes a messaging platform, calendar sharing, video capability, and automatic language translation. Third, the global consolidation of the grocery industry has encouraged increased coordination and integration of grower/shipper operations and improved supply chain efficiency, an enormous benefit for highly perishable products such as fruits and vegetables. Retail chains like Walmart and Carefour have opened hundreds of stores in developing country markets and source globally year round. Finally, barriers to horticultural trade have been reduced through the 1995 World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Agriculture and a number of regional preferential trading arrangements. Within North America, NAFTA has helped create a liberalized trading environment and is a contributing factor in the large increase in fruit and vegetable trade among the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Since NAFTA was signed, the U.S. has concluded 12 additional preferential trade agreements with 17 countries, including the 3 recently implemented agreements with Korea, Colombia, and Panama.

The Baywa acquisition of T&G and Direct Capital's investment in Mr. Apple were generally seen as positive; more consolidation is expected:
- "The Baywa acquisition is good. They bring a lot of expertise and knowledge in pipfruit and that is a positive thing." CEO, Industry stakeholder, Feb 2013
- "Baywaentering the market has been hugely positive, as it brings a genuine apple business to New Zealand. I expect there to be more consolidation in the market and those guys to be focussing on IP. The seeds of growth are there." CEO, Sales and Marketing Company, Feb 2013
-"When the big guys get involved, you see much more plantings and exporting. You get Direct Capital investing in the industry. It's a good sign that they see growth and potential in the sector. With the fragmented industry post‐deregulation, they obviously see the opportunity to consolidate it a bit more. And see more sensible marketing in markets like Asia." CEO, Grower/Shipper, Feb 2013
- "I think there is more than one apple company out there that would sign the cheque if they were approached by the big guys. Some of these guys will start to merge.It makes sense. Then if there is 50-60% of volume under one umbrella then we can get grunt in‐market and with promotions. Then it's cents per carton instead of dollars." CEO, Grower/Shipper, Feb 2013
- "Aggregation is good. Mr Apple and Fernridgenow have more clout and it's easier to get scale in the market with a stronger position with price, position and supply. it's good. It shows there is confidence to invest in a growing market. it's worth spending
money. There is now a global network to support their business.
Now there may be investmentin the land." CEO, Industry
representative, Jan 2013
- "There is no long term strategy by moving between exporters and
packhouses and playing a trading game. We need to deal with
fewer people and work more in‐depth in‐markets and see what
needs to happen to grow. By merging and working together
more we can gain scale
Apples aren't big enough yet. We need
to keep planting, consolidating, and focusing on key markets and
really showing some strategic thinking, which hasn't been
happening." CEO, Grower/Shipper, Feb 2013
- "With Maui investment into [Freshmax], we can again look to
significant acquisitions in 2012 to further expand our business
profile." David Smith said in a statement. Paul Chrystall,
managing director of Maui, said the fruit and produce industry
was undergoing significant change and growth in both Australia
and New Zealand." Idealog, Jan 2012

I wonder if the HHH/Michaels from December holds up. Or the SummerSlam four way.
Armageddon has some intriguing shit that I don't even remember even though I've watched it. I have zero recollection of Benoit/Guerrero. Henry/Booker interest me way more now than it would have years ago. They have a fun weapons match on Raw, actually.
Rey has a ton of cool stuff with Tajiri and Matt Hardy.
This is hardly Top 5 or 10 Best Talk but w/e. HHH v Scott Steiner is your 2003 MOTY.
I liked Goldberg/Jericho a lot. In fact, I found all of that Bad Blood PPV some real fun. It's not saying a lot but Jericho/Goldberg is probably Goldberg's finest WWE match.
I'm also a big fan of Hunter/Michaels from the last Raw of 2003. It's a supreme example of elementary wrestling in the WWE at its finest.

does anyone know a good way to make scars fade? I've been trying to get my arm scars to fade to avoid suspicion. if you know what works comment or message me please.
I just want to die
I told my boyfriend everything. I mean everything I've ever been through, everything that makes me want to self harm and die. I told him why I hate myself, I just told him everything. he didn't really know what to say, but I didn't freak him out or scare him off. he told me he loves me with everything he has and everything I deserve. he's the one person I can trust with everything, I don't know what I'd do without him. he mean the world to me.
is it so bad that I don't want people to end up like me?
i just wish someone would think i'm worth it.
me too, but thank you. I'm trying.
sorry I've been gone a bit, mental hospitals are never fun. but I'll be back posting once again soon when I get things back to "normal" now that I'm home. my inbox is always open it you need. stay strong loves.
my message box is being all weird so I'm replying in a post like this so I hope you come across it and it helps you out. I understand what you are going through and not having many people that you can count on can be very difficult. I myself only have two friends I can talk to about things, one that knows absolutely everything. it is important to keep in mind that it is not your fault, people tend to just use people and then move on when they get bored. when this was happening to me I began to blame myself. I'm too fat, too ugly, too weird, too fucked up for anyone to wanna be friends with. it lead to me burning my self and starving myself. situations like this can lead to self hate which creates a daily struggle. hold close your one guy friend and your mother, they may not always seem like much but let them know how much they mean to you. having them there for you will help you a lot through this because you are not alone, having one good friend is more important then having lots of fake ones. people who are going to truly there for you will find there way to you, it just takes time. love yourself and your friend. your seem very sweet and others will see this. once they realize that their 'new, cool' friends are not really there for them they'll see what a great friend they missed. be strong and love yourself, things will get better. I promise.
