A couple years ago, Seth Goldman perused numerous books on building a sustainable, green business and found them uninspiring.
"They all seemed to be preachy and repetitive," said Goldman, president and co-founder of Bethesda beverage company Honest Tea.
His oldest high school-age son was reading more comic books than textbooks. So Goldman, who has long thought "outside the box" in building his company, decided to check out a graphic novel.
"I found myself very absorbed and engaged," said Goldman, who also serves as his company's TeaEO. "I realized that we needed to find a way to make a book about mission-driven businesses come alive."
The result, "Mission in a Bottle: The Honest Guide to Doing Business Differently — and Succeeding," hits bookstores Sept. 3. Written with Honest Tea co-founder and Yale professor Barry Nalebuff, much of the book is in two-color, comic-book style, illustrated by New York graphic artist Sungyoon Choi.
"Readers shouldn't have to work that hard to learn something," Goldman said Thursday, sitting in a glass-enclosed conference room with his customary casual attire in Honest Tea's downtown Bethesda corporate headquarters. "I hope it is fun to read, and people find it engaging and inspiring."
Getting a book accepted by a major New York publishing house these days can be as challenging as building a business from scratch. While electronic books continue to gain more of the industry's market share, print sales are still growing in areas such as adult general fiction and nonfiction, according to the Association of American Publishers.
A literary agent helped Goldman and Nalebuff set up meetings with major publishers in New York.
"Random House jumped on it," Goldman said. "We had something different." The book was published by Crown Business, an imprint of Random House division Crown Publishing Group.
To find Choi, Nalebuff asked a friend in the arts to recommend the work of top illustrators. Choi, who illustrated "American Widow," a graphic memoir detailing author Alissa Torres' experience losing her spouse to the 2001 terrorist attacks, emerged as their top choice.
Goldman and Nalebuff start a cross-country speaking and book-signing tour next month. On Sept. 4, Goldman will travel to San Francisco to speak at a conference organized by Social Capital Markets. He will be at Washington bookstore Politics & Prose on Sept. 10 and Barnes & Noble in Bethesda on Sept. 12, with many more events running for several months that are listed on a promotional website.
Proceeds of sales at the events will go to charity, such as the Barnes & Noble one going to local business organization Bethesda Green. "That ties in with our mission," Goldman said.
Their book is not all in comic form, but includes narratives on lessons and advice to budding business titans.
"The biggest message I'd like to get across to young entrepreneurs is to pick something you are passionate about and care about," Goldman said.
The Coca-Cola Co. purchased a 40 percent stake of Honest Tea in 2008 and bought the rest of the company in 2011, but Honest Tea remains an independent business unit. Sales are expected to reach more than $100 million this year, up from $38 million in 2008, while the number of employees has grown to 117 from 87 five years ago, Goldman said.
The number of stores company products are in has risen from 15,000 to some 100,000 during the past five years, he said, as the beverage giant's market reach has sparked that development.
"We're getting our tea and other beverages into national restaurant chains, which is very exciting," Goldman said. "It's been a really positive alliance to help us take the company to the next level."
Goldman's book is one of a few written by Montgomery County business executives released this year. J.W. "Bill" Marriott Jr., executive chairman of Bethesda hotel giant Marriott International, penned "Without Reservations: How a Family Root Beer Stand Grew Into a Global Hotel Company," published by Luxury Custom Publishing.
"I wrote this book because I wanted to share the values that have made Marriott successful," Marriott said in a video on the book's promotional website. "First and foremost, we put people first."
John S. Hendricks, founder and executive chairman of Silver Spring broadcasting company Discovery Communications, recently released "A Curious Discovery: An Entrepreneur's Story," published by HarperCollins. Hendricks said he wrote the book on the urging of numerous people who thought the story of a relative outsider building the broadcasting giant was compelling.
Curiosity and belief in what he was doing were major driving forces in dealing with the highs and lows involved, he said. "I believed so strongly in the concept of what we were trying to create," Hendricks said.
William A. Haseltine, founder of Rockville biotech Human Genome Sciences, authored "Affordable Excellence: The Singapore Health System," published by the Brookings Institution Press and National University of Singapore Press.
The federal health care reform law "addresses some but not all of the most pressing problems," he said on the book's promotional website. "I believe we can reduce health care expenses, saving trillions of dollars a year, by making our health care system more efficient, following the lessons from the best other countries have to offer. Singapore offers an excellent starting point."

Day 1 Mykonos
Please try to arrive at the meeting point before 5pm for an important group meeting where you can meet the Chief Experience Officer (CEO) skipper and the other group members. Arrive at any time to Mykonos. Please try to arrive at the meeting point before 5pm for an important group meeting where you can meet the Chief Experience Officer (CEO) Skipper and the other group members. Legendary both in ancient and modern times, Mykonos is one of the best-known Greek islands, and provides ample entertainment for history and party buffs alike. Mykonos town, as typical a whitewashed Greek island town can be, has long been famous for its nightlife, with bars and clubs filled with the beautiful of Europe rocking till dawn every night. And during the days, a short bus and boat ride takes you to some of the best—and craziest—beaches in all of Europe.
Day 2-6 Northern Cyclades
Possible Island stops include: Kythnos, Kea, Aegina, Hydra, and Syros. CYCLADES ISLANDS Located in the central and southern part of the Aegean Sea, there are 39 islands in the Cyclades of which 24 are inhabited. On these small islands where the past meets the present, one can find both peace and tranquility and colourful nightlife. The white heat of July and August is often relieved by the meltemi, a strong northerly wind that sweeps across the eastern coast of mainland Greece and the Cyclades. Narrow paths full of flowers, whitewashed houses, blue windows and white churches under the dazzling sun and complimented by golden beaches: this is one of those magical places where the reality outstrips the postcards. KYTHNOS Kythnos welcomes you to a picturesque bay. There are old iron mining ruins that are of interest to travellers, but the highlight has to be the local hot springs. Graced by kings and emperors throughout the years, sunset or sunrise are great times to experience the tranquility of the area, taking you back in time. KEA The most northern island of the Cyclades, Kea has escaped the major ferry routes keeping it's charms away from most tourists. The lovely island is scattered with olive groves and orchards. Opt to visit the Stone Lion and stop by a family silversmith, your CEO can arrange a visit. End the day at a local taverna, where the food won't disappoint. AEGINA Once a principal maritime power and a major trade partner with Egypt and Phoenicia, Aegina is a humble island most known now for its pistachio production. On the west coast, the harbour of Aegina Town is lined with colourful little boats, bobbing placidly on turquoise water. Around the island, a few crumbling neoclassical buildings can still be seen. HYDRA A stylish island where the rocky hillsides are lined with elegant white and pastel stone mansions that overlook a beautiful natural harbour. Starting in the 1950s, artists, writers, and filmmakers poured in, drawn by island's beauty. Hydra also offers a reprieve from the whizzing motorcycles that characterize most of the other Greek Islands, with no motorized transport except for a few municipal vehicles. Opt to travel by local taxi (donkey ride) through the winding streets. There are several great tavernas to eat at, some offering an experience where you dine in a local's home. SYROS In Syros you experience authentic Greek culture, great eating, and a handful of small but pleasant beaches. Ermoupoli is capital of Cyclades and Syros. The main square of the town is called Plateia Miaouli. Surrounded by Town hall, cafeterias, bars and palm trees. Commonly described:"probably the most elegant square in Greece." Town hall is designed by German architect Ernest Tchiller. You will find Archaeological museum inside Town Hall. Syros has the first ever opera house of Greece, the Apollon theatre located close to main square. Apollon theatre is made from marble and limestone. Enjoy options of going on short hikes, visiting local markets and going SCUBA diving. Please note: While it is our intention to adhere to the route described above, there is a certain amount of flexibility built into the itinerary and on occasion it may be necessary, or desirable to make alterations. On Day 1 of your tour you will be advised of any amendments.
Day 7 Athens
Athens is the capital of Greece, the founding city of the Olympic games, and a city of culture, science and commerce. From the colourful markets, to the ancient monuments, to the hustle and bustle of Plateia Syntagmatos (Constitution Square), Athens is rich with history and an important influence on the development of Western civilization. Named after the goddess of wisdom Athena, Athens encircles eight hills within its borders. The most prominent of these, the Acropolis, stands as the ultimate architectural and artistic expression of the ancient Athenian spirit. Athens is a growing city, engulfing its neighbouring suburbs all the way to Piraeus, the city's port and your gateway to the Greek Isles.
Day 8 Athens
Departure day. Tour ends the morning of Day 8, if you would like to spend more time in Athens we recommend booking more time after the tour ends.

In Casablanca, Focus on Jewish Education
For Casablanca's Jews, coexistence isn't merely a buzzword or goal — it's a reality as tangible as the young Muslim student sitting one seat over in a high school classroom.
For Casablanca's Jews, coexistence isn't merely a buzzword or goal — it's a reality as tangible as the young Muslim student sitting one seat over in a high school classroom.
Yulia Shesternina has a dream: that one day the Jewish community of St. Petersburg, Russia, will resemble that of … Cleveland, Ohio. She was one of 21 young Russian leaders to visit Cleveland and New York as part of their year-long participation in Lehava, JDC's pioneering leadership training institute for young Russians.
More than 150 Jewish educators, community professionals, and volunteers from the former Soviet Union and Israel will gather in Lvov, Ukraine on October 13 to take part in JDC's fourth annual Jewish Informal Education Conference. The four-day event will engage participants in a variety of network-building opportunities and knowledge-sharing workshops, as well as an exchange of best practices in Jewish education. It will also explore contemporary Jewish life in the former Soviet Union (FSU) and the significance of the Galicia region to Jewish history.
When JDC began working with the high school in Beit Jann – a poor and predominantly Druze community in northern Israel about 40 minutes east of Nahariya – less than half of its students graduated with Te'udat Bagrut, the official Israeli matriculation certificate that's a prerequisite for higher education in the country.
Tahl Mayer, JDC Entwine's 2012-2013 Jewish Service Corps Fellow in Mumbai, India has joined the local Jewish Community Center (JCC) to spearhead a new youth leadership and engagement initiative.
Born and raised in St. Petersburg, Russia in the years after the fall of Communism, Masha Sergeeva, 21, grew up with limited understanding of—or pride in—her Jewish identity. That's all changed now.
Rafi came to Ulus as a first-grader, but after his parents divorced and finances for his single mom grew thin, he wasn't sure he'd be able to remain there to complete his education—even though he anticipated the incredible opportunities it could offer him.
Odelia knew her five-year-old daughter "Tamar" was different. After learning she'd been a victim of abuse at the first day care she ever attended, Odelia was reluctant to enroll her in kindergarten full time. Then she heard about the New Beginnings program at a local kindergarten in Netanya.
Sarah Goldenstein, 25, never imagined she'd go from teaching Sunday school in her home state of North Carolina to helping build Jewish community among Russian immigrants in Germany, but that's exactly what she's been doing for the past two years as a Jewish Service Corps fellow through JDC's Entwine initiative for inspired young Jews.
Young Israelis in JDC's Afikim program benefit from both individual mentorship and group workshops that help them gain self-assurance, develop professional skills, and learn real-life problem-solving strategies.

Percentage of management and accounting majors who, over the past 3 years, were employed fulltime within 8 months of graduating from Bucknell.
A sophisticated worldview. Strong relationships. Real world experiences. Outstanding teaching.
The School of Management at Bucknell University offers innovative professional education in the context of one of the nation's leading liberal arts universities. A Bucknell education, combining technical skills and deep intellectual exploration, is preparation for thoughtful and capable leaders.
We are all scholars here. We have a duty to our profession, our society, and our students to engage in scholarship as a life-long search for new answers to intellectually vital questions. By our example as scholars, we teach our students the importance of an abiding curiosity and thirst for knowledge.
Students come first. We base every decision on what is best for our students, and though reasonable people disagree about what is "best," we do not accept decisions premised on any lesser standard.
The right to be authentic. We believe in allowing each faculty member the autonomy to express their uniqueness as teachers, scholars, and community members. The interplay among these diverse perspectives, rather than any one best model of pedagogy or scholarship, promotes learning, passion, and innovation.
Truly professional education. We are committed to our students' professional development. We define "professional" broadly to include technical competence, intellectual depth, and moral development. The truly professional manager is not constrained by narrow conventions but understands organizations, has the skills and creativity to lead them, and thinks deeply and responsibly about their impact on society.
Leave room for community. Even in our autonomy, we are responsible to each other, to help each other achieve our professional goals and to work together in common cause. We value the fundamental trust and easy collegiality that we share.
"My approach to finance research is different. I investigate finance as a pop-culture phenomenon."More about Professor McGoun
"You want students who can talk to all levels of people about all types of ideas and be open to learning things that may not be their subject matter. That is one reason the liberal arts environment does well to prepare one for business."More about Professor Guthrie
"I can be as theoretical as I want in my research, but at the end of the day, I have to show that someone out there in the real world benefits from my work."More about Professor Banciu
We asked our student to tell us in five words or fewer why they love management.
A two-semester experiential course in which a select group of Bucknell seniors manages approximately $1.7 million of Bucknell's endowment.
The course exposes students to the intellectual and practical challenges of running a small investment company.
Internships provide management and accounting students with real-world business experience, professional development and networking benefits. Bucknell's Career Development Center helps students identify and apply for internships.
Recently, students have interned with Ernst & Young, Deloitte, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Goldman Sachs Operations and Merrill Lynch.
At Bucknell, management and accounting majors often enhance their studies by spending a summer, semester or year abroad through one of Bucknell's own "in" programs or through one of many approved programs around the world.
Recently, management and accounting majors have studied in Florence, Milan, Prague, Spain and Vienna.

Leon Panetta was blunt, even for a guy who is known to speak his mind. In the heady aftermath of the Osama bin Laden mission, Panetta's authority on Capitol Hill was all but unquestioned. Despite an atmosphere of bitter partisanship, the longtime Democrat was about to be confirmed as Defense secretary by a vote of 100-0, a rare feat in any era. Now Panetta, the outgoing CIA director, was telling a rapt audience of senators at his confirmation hearing that America's national-security defense apparatus was underestimating the gravest danger out there. "We talk about nuclear. We talk about conventional warfare. We don't spend enough time talking about the threat of cyberwar," he said. "There's a strong likelihood that the next Pearl Harbor that we confront could very well be a cyberattack."
Whoa. Really? You mean, thousands of people could die in a cyberattack? How exactly would this happen? Could it be like some sort of monstrous video game run amok? Or the 1980s classic War Games, in which a teenage Matthew Broderick almost hacks his way into starting a nuclear war? One thing is certain: Panetta is hardly alone in his alarm; indeed, he is channeling the fears of the nation's top generals and spooks.
On July 14, the Pentagon rolled out its first-ever "cyberspace strategy"—a critical need for the United States because, as Deputy Defense Secretary Bill Lynn declared with alliterative flair that day, "bits and bytes can be as threatening as bullets and bombs." The U.S. government is now spending about $12 billion a year to wage both offense and defense in cyberspace, and it has set up a Cyber Command at Fort Meade in Maryland. The Homeland Security Department conducts regular war games that it calls "cyberstorming." A new multibillion-dollar military-industrial complex is emerging, with giant defense contractors like Boeing and Northrop Grumman transforming themselves into part-time cybersecurity contractors.
In truth, cyberskeptics abound. They include many independent analysts as well as some of Panetta's high-level colleagues in the Obama administration. These skeptics say that much of the alarm stems from a fear of the unknown rather than from concrete evidence of life-and-death threats. It is, they suggest, a 21st-century version of the medieval mapmakers who would mark the boundaries of the known world and then draw mythical beasts on the other side conveying the message: "Here, there be dragons."
Here was Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, vice chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, in a recent interview with National Journal: "Very serious four-star generals tell me that cyber is the thing they worry about of all the potential threats, because there is so much that is unknown, and because our laws and military doctrines are so far behind." For military officers who are trained to plan for every variable, the prospect that an attack on the United States might include some exotic cyber component is the dragon they understand the least. And critics worry that this fear is only going to create the biggest dragon of all: a permanent military-cyber industrial complex not unlike the one that President Eisenhower warned of at the dawn of the nuclear age.
As a result, some skeptical cyberexperts say, the most serious threat may come not from abroad but from our own perceptions and overreactions. Recall the hype around Y2K, the computer glitch that was supposed to paralyze systems around the world once their calendars ticked over to the year 2000. Or think back to a half-dozen "cyberattacks" that turned out to be much less dangerous than believed. To cite just one example: In 1998, someone tried to hack into the Defense Department's computers in what then-Deputy Defense Secretary John Hamre called "the most organized and systematic attack to date" on U.S. military systems. Suspicions focused on Iraqis conducting "information warfare." Then it came to light that the culprits were a couple of California teenagers (real-life Matthew Brodericks) egged on by an Israeli teenager.
The danger is that the U.S. government will do what it has been arguably doing in spades since 9/11: overreact. Spend too much. Go overboard with surveillance. Crimp and constrain freedoms, this time involving the Internet.
"That is the history of counterterrorism in this country," says Neal Pollard, a cyberterrorism expert who has advised the U.S. and British governments, including the U.S. director of national intelligence. "There's not a whole lot that's new here. We used to hear about an 'electronic Pearl Harbor.' And a 'digital Pearl Harbor.' Those types of martial metaphors have gone back to the late '90s. I don't think they are particularly helpful. Pearl Harbor was a surprise attack taking out our battleships. Well, we don't have battleships anymore. We've been hearing these kinds of terms for nigh 15 years without any sort of precise thought behind them."

I'm building a GIS webapp that uses tilestache to serve MBTiles and a django app to serve geoJson. I'm having trouble understanding exactly what kind of setup I'd need to host this. I'm new to server admin and setup, so something heroku-ish would be nice, but I'd be willing to learn if the solution involved more work.

You will need a Linux machine to deploy what you have been working on. I would use nginx as webserver/reverse proxy (because it serves static tiles very fast), the rest (tilestache,django) are very familiar on Linux distro (Ubuntu particularly), you can find many tutorials about deployment of Django + nginx on Google.
Look at Google's AppEngine. It has django and can serve map tiles up with a little python scripting..

En español l Fear of harmful side effects leads far too many patients to avoid taking their medications. In fact, it's a key reason half of all prescription drugs aren't taken as prescribed, says Lars Osterberg, M.D., a clinical associate professor of medicine at Stanford University. But consider this: Some medications have health-boosting benefits that go beyond what the medication was prescribed to treat. That alone is no reason to start an Rx, of course, though it is motivation to follow doctor's orders. "Medications can be very powerful — but only when taken correctly," says Osterberg.
Here are eight types of drugs that offer unique health perks.
The Drug: Flu shot
Potential Perk: Heart disease and stroke protection
The Evidence: A new review of research finds that getting a flu shot could cut your risk of having a heart attack or stroke by 48 percent. Study coauthor Jacob A. Udell, M.D., of Women's College Hospital in Toronto speculates that getting vaccinated "may block the inflammatory response our bodies mount to combat a flu infection, which protects arterial plaques from rupturing and causing a cardiac event." So after the doozy of a flu season we just had, consider this one more reason to line up next year.
The Drugs: Statins to lower cholesterol
Potential Perk: More successful cancer treatment
The Evidence: People diagnosed with cancer who were taking statins daily had a 15 percent lower risk of death compared with non–statin users, according to a 2012 Danish study published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Quite simply, statins reduce the amount of cholesterol in the body, and since the waxy substance is a vital building block for cells, "a shortage of cholesterol may inhibit growth of rapidly dividing cancer cells," says study coauthor Stig E. Bojesen, M.D., of the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. One-quarter of people 45 or older pop cholesterol-lowering statins.
The Drug: Metformin to treat diabetes
Potential Perk: Avoiding breast cancer
The Evidence: Metformin helps combat diabetes by increasing insulin sensitivity and decreasing the liver's production of glucose, thereby lowering blood sugar levels. A 2012 review of seven studies published in the journal Breast Cancer Research and Treatment showed that metformin is also linked with a 17 percent lower risk of breast cancer.
Women taking metformin for at least three years had a 25 percent lower risk, possibly due to their improved insulin response. Researchers speculate that higher insulin levels may fuel cancer cells. Metformin also is associated with weight loss, so weight management could play a role, too.

Labour MP Keith Vaz, long a critic of violent video games, has taken umbrage to the BBFC's rating of new Batman flick The Dark Knight.
As reported by The Register, Vaz and Conservative MP Iain Duncan Smith object to the film's 12A rating, which means that under 12s can see The Dark Knight if accompanied by their parents:
...Vaz said: "The BBFC should realise there are scenes of gratuitous violence in The Dark Knight to which I would certainly not take my 11-year-old daughter. It should be a 15 classification."
Vaz, who has previously railed against video game violence, wants to get the BBFC before his committee's hearings on knife crime later in the year. Presumably its representatives will be required to explain what they think they're doing fostering violent knifey rages in children...
The BBFC has defended its rating, admitting that while it was a "borderline" decision, the violence is in over-the-top comic-book fashion and does adhere to the guidelines for a 12A certificate. With a 15 certificate, said spokeswoman Sue Clark, "Younger teenagers would not have been able to see it, and they are the very people who are going to love it. We would have ended up with far more complaints from people who wanted to see the film and couldn't."
In light of Vaz'z criticism, it's interesting to note that the BBFC will soon take over video game rating chores if the British government has its way.

CartoonyAnimator's 11 SecondClub Thread
Hey Guys! 4 days left in october, 4 days left working on my 11SC animation! PLease take a look and leave any feedback you might have! I wanna make this one my best!
ALSO, if anyone knows how to render, please email me or IM me on skype. I need to render this but have no idea how. batch render isn't working for me, it hides the camera planes and speeds the animation up.
Thanks everyone!
Re: CartoonyAnimator's 11 SecondClub Thread
Hey everyone!
I entered in the 11 Second Club this month and this time I did it in Maya.
It took me a while and was pretty tough but I learned a lot. It was a great experience and I'm really happy I did it. I think its the best stuff I've done in 3D so far. My only goal is to beat my previous entry's ranks.
If anyone has any feedback whatsoever, please tell! I want to get better and your cold-hard criticism can only help me get better.
Re: CartoonyAnimator's 11 SecondClub Thread
You're a good CG animator. The second scene is the better of the two layout wise. It's difficult to animate subtle moves and expressions while delivering dialogue. You did a nice job with the acting. Check the guy at the far end of the table and see about having his head rest in his hand with a little more weight. Good luck!

Re: CartoonyAnimator's 11 SecondClub Thread
Hi, For your first CGI animation sees the scene of bloody good. Especially the hands and the anatomy you have been well implemented. But the ears look kind of funny. Who have fallen for my taste a little too pointed. At 0:03 sees that the chair has the same texture as the wall. Why did I not initially perceived the chair . Otherwise entertaining animation!

Among radio comedy's most enduring features were its running gags - and few gags ran longer, or more hilariously, than the legendary feud between two of its great masters: Jack Benny and Fred Allen. For nearly 20 years the mere mention of Benny on an Allen program was guaranteed to produce an escalating laugh - just as bringing Allen up with Benny had listener in stitches at the mere anticipation of a response. This digitally remastered collection brings together the classic episodes that started it all - from first time the pair shared a microphone (in a skit ripe with references to Benny's musical skill), to Stuart Canin's performance of "The Bee," to the showdown that was supposed to end it once and for all.
Join Jack, Fred, and their comical cohorts Portland Hoffa, Harry Von Zell, John Brown, Minerva Pious, Mary Livingstone, Kenny Baker, Don Wilson, Andy Devine, Phil Harris, and all the regulars from both Town Hall Tonight and The Jell-O Program. Includes rare episodes.
Episodes Include: Town Hall Tonight 02-26-36 (Excerpt); Town Hall Tonight 12-30-36; The Jell-O Program 01-03-37; The Jell-O Program 01-10-37; Town Hall Tonight 01-06-37; Town Hall Tonight 01-13-37 (Excerpt); Town Hall Tonight 01-20-37; The Jell-O Program 01-31-37; Town Hall Tonight 01-27-37 ( Excerpt); The Jell-O Program 02-07-37; Town Hall Tonight 02-03-37 (Excerpt); Town Hall Tonight 02-10-37; The Jell-O Program 02-14-37; The Jell-O Program 02-28-37; Town Hall Tonight 02-24-37; Town Hall Tonight 03-03-37 (Excerpt); The Jell-O Program 03-07-37; The Jell-O Program 03-14-37; Town Hall Tonight 12-22-37; The Fred Allen Show 12-18-40 (Excerpt)

Call (888) 784-1722 Mon-Sat 8:30-5:00 PST
Thanks for Subscribing!
Use Code: at Checkout!
Hurry! Expires !
When placing your bare root orders, please be aware that AS SOON as the trees/plants are available to ship (Dec. for trees, Jan. for plants), we will begin shipping IMMEDIATELY - no matter where you are located !!!
There are several factors why we must ship immediately:
When your order arrives, you should remove it from the outside elements before nightfall. If you will not be present at the destination when the order will be delivered, you should either ship the order to another location or make sure someone will be there to take care of your order.
While your order is hardy enough to withstand freezing temperatures in its box, you definitely should not leave it outside in sub-zero temperatures for days on end.
AS IMPORTANTLY, you then need to open the box, remove the trees/plants from their plastic bag, store them in a basement, cellar or garage, covering their roots with sand, dirt, sawdust or wood chips (do not use cedar that is toxic to the trees) and keep them moist until you are able to plant them in the ground in Spring.
Grow your own grapes. Grapes are a great selection for edible landscaping. Grow them for beauty and taste. Make jam, juice, jelly, vinegar, wine, grape seed extracts, raisins, and grape seed oil -- the possibilities are endless.
Choose from our selection of table grapes for raisins, juice, jam, jelly, and of course eating fresh off the vine. These grapes are large, juicy, and predominantly seedless.
We're also pleased to offer a selection of wine grapes. Dive into the ancient art of vinting. Craft a signature vintage with grapes from your land. One vine yields on average a gallon of wine.
Table and Wine Grapes are available in Early January.
All our bare root trees (except Pecan trees), vegetables and berries come with a limited replacement guarantee.

"Hey, did you happen to see the most beautiful girl in the world?"
It's a question that immediately draws you into Charlie Rich's 1973 hit "The Most Beautiful Girl," and its intricate melody and heart-rending lyrics fully deliver on that opening line's
The tune was a breakthrough for Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame member Rory Bourke, who first co-wrote an early version — then titled "Hey Mister" — with Norris "Norro" Wilson. That version was released to little fanfare, but once the duo brought producer Billy Sherrill into the mix, the "magic" was found, and "Girl" became a worldwide smash.
Bourke recently recalled writing (and re-writing) the song in a talk with Bart Herbison of Nashville Songwriters Association International.
About the series
In partnership with Nashville Songwriters Association International, each week we will release a new video featuring NSAI executive director Bart Herbison interviewing a Nashville songwriter about his or her work.

Opening the store which is going to sell clothing to other people is much more work than just simply finding appropriate clothes to sell. Since fashion is such a complex sphere, which some may compare to art, you need to realize that there is much more to it than just simply setting out the clothes.
How does selling items work?
When working in any type of a business, which has to do anything with selling products, the cold hard truth is the fact that you do have to make your customer wants to buy what you have to offer.
ou don't quite force them into it directly, but you are attempting to manipulate them by using the surroundings.
That is horrible!
While this is definitely something that may sound like a statement which could clash with ethics, many people accept that this is the only way to work and earn from selling anything. The good news is, that with clothing, you have a certain amount of flexibility when it comes to this.
What can I do to make my store seem more pleasant?
If you want your store to look nice and still have everything displayed for the customers to see, probably one of the most essential items to consider are mannequins.
But not just any mannequins! The secret is to fit them into your store, by choosing them carefully, so that they would look like they naturally belong there.
Why would I choose mannequins?
Everything in your store needs to represent the merchandise which is being sold. So, think about the type of the clothes you are selling. Is it casual? Sporty? Formal? You may want to choose your mannequins according to the type of apparel you are selling.
What else should I think of?
Then, you should think about the age groups which are going to be visiting your store. Who are the clothes intended for, in the first place? Children? Maybe teenagers or adults?
Are they all in a specific social group? If that is the case, you may choose to make the mannequins have a certain characteristic, which the members of the certain social group can identify with.
This is all confusing!
It is perfectly alright to be confused, especially if this is your first time opening the clothes store. These are just some visual cues you need to remember, so that the customers could feel at ease and when they enter your store, knowing that you understand your taste.
So, if you are ready to add a certain dose of intimacy and bond with the customers, head over to mannequinmall.com and see exactly what you can have for your store.

1/4 cup
olive oil, divided
1 (8 ounce) package
angel hair pasta
1 teaspoon
chopped garlic
1 pound
large shrimp - peeled and deveined
2 (28 ounce) cans
Italian-style diced tomatoes, drained
1/2 cup
dry white wine
1/4 cup
chopped parsley
3 tablespoons
chopped fresh basil
3 tablespoons
freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Very good! I doubled the pasta and garlic (8 oz. pasta is not enough for all the tomatoes called for, and the dish needed more flavor), and found that this dish really needed more shrimp (will use 2 lbs. next time). I didn't add oil to the pasta while boiling (simply not necessary), and I used only 1/8 cup oil in the sauce to cut down on the fat. Using fresh herbs is key! If you add the shrimp in Step 2 as written, they will be extremely overcooked. Add them to the finished sauce that is still simmering (along with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/8 tsp. pepper), and they will cook in 2-3 minutes. Thanks for the recipe!
This was OK (just OK...). It was a bit bland and boring.... It called for WAY too many tomatoes. The sauce did not adhere to the pasta. The shrimp did not absorb the garlic flavor (very subtle) and had a somewhat "fishy" taste to them (first time this has ever happened to me). I didn't really taste the basil or parsley, so I don't know if buying fresh (which is much more expensive) is worth it. This is a good "base" recipe. If I ever make this dish again, I'll use HALF the amount of tomatoes called for (be sure to use Italian seasoned tomatoes...the dish is lacking flavor to begin with), maybe add some red pepper flakes to spice things up a bit, prepare with red wine (I like red better than white - it adds depth), serve over linguine instead of angel hair pasta (linguine noodles have more surface area to absorb the sauce) and maybe add scallops or sub chicken breast (even breaded breasts would work) for the shrimp. Subbing chicken for shrimp reminds me of TGI Friday's chicken bruschetta pasta dish (which I DO like). I also think that garlic bread would be a nice complement (I served my pasta with plain Italian bread - another bland flavor). We'll give this one more try - with my modifications. Thanks!

I made this the other night, and I must say it's the best dish I've made all year. It was HEAVENLY. I used lemon basil and parsley that I grew myself, and added around 1/4 cup of heavy cream and about 2 Tbsp. tomato paste to make a more creamy sauce. I only used one 28 oz. can of tomatoes, and I think next time I'll use three 14 oz. cans. I think I forgot to drain the tomatoes, so it took a bit longer to cook down, but the flavor was incredible. This is an excellent dish for company, and it was just as good reheated the next day. This recipe rocks, Pat! Thanks for sharing. :)
Pretty good but I have a question - I used 3(15oz)cans of Italian diced tomatoes. The instructions say that they s/b "drained" - but then when it comes time to add the white wine, it says to simmer until liquid is reduced by half. What liquid? When drained and mixed together w/ the wine, there's barely any liquid to begin with. Yes, the tomatoes naturally release a little liquid but when they're drained, its not much. In fact, I added half a can of tomato sauce just so the mix would cover the noodles properly. I understand that maybe this isn't supposed to be a "saucy" recipe but w/out some, it would be really dry. Next time, I'll try it but not drain all the tomatoes. It was still very tasty, which is why I feel the dish is justified to try again. Also, when sauting the garlic, I added a couple TBLS of minced onion and put parmesan over each serving.
Fantastic dish! I added a bit of extra garlic and some red pepper flakes and I left out the white wine because I didn't have any, but this was so good!!! I ate it until I couldn't eat any more, and the leftovers the next day had my coworkers drooling.
Well, I usually do not review recipes unless I find one that is really worthy of my time...this one takes the prize! This recipe is sooooo good!!! I used Bucatini instead of Angel Hair, and dried Basil for the fresh (couldn't get fresh here), everything else was the same and it was FANTASTIC! Thanks!
This was surprisingly good. I only used 1 28 oz. can of tomatoes and that was plenty. My husband is not a seafood lover and he said he'll eat this again!!!! I forgot to add that I omitted the parsley and substituted fresh basil.
This recipes is absolutely DELICIOUS and EASY! I also add a little frozen spinach towards the end (so it doesn't cook too long). As a tip, using the frozen or unfrozen raw deveined shrimp from the grocery store is easiest. This has become my "specialty dish" amongst family & friends and I am by far a chef.

Saturday, September 07, 2002Birmingham, Ala. (September 7, 2002) -- East Tennessee State's volleyball team went the distance with tournament host Alabama-Birmingham, but fell 15-10 in the fifth game to lose the match 3-2. The Buccaneers went up on the Blazers early by capturing the first game 30-25 before UAB countered with a 30-24 victory to even the match. ETSU took the advantage again with a 30-25 victory in game three, but the hosts battled back with a 30-17 win in game four to force a fifth game. Head coach Deane Webb noted that the Lady Buc defense continued to improve, as East Tennessee State out-blocked all three of its weekend opponents, which includes Troy State and Tennessee State on Friday evening. Karen Freeburg (Newcastle, Ind.)led the ETSU defense versus UAB with 16 digs, while her 22 digs against Troy State on Friday night was a tournament high. Nicole Ryan (Etiwanda, Calif.) added four digs in the loss to the Blazers to go with her team-leading 16 kills. Freshman Kristi Robinson (Knoxville, Tenn.) helped to solidfy the Buccaneer's counter attack with 11 digs. "Our defense has definitately been improving every match, especially in the back row," said Webb. Troy State defeated UAB in five games to win the tournament, while the Bucs fall to 2-5 on the season. Kate Steidle (Waynesboro, Va.) was named to the all-tournament team. The junior outside hitter tallied 50 kills, 23 digs and seven service aces in ETSU's three matches. "It was a good tournament to go to, and we were competitive in every match," Webb added. "We look forward to starting conference play." ETSU opens its Southern Conference schedule this Tuesday, September 10 versus Western Carolina. The match is a home contest for the Bucs, beginning at 6:00 p.m. in Brooks Gym.

Yes, AVStoDVD has evolved to the point where the average user probably won't have much trouble. Maybe it's not as easy as DVD Flick or FAVC, but overall it's a pretty smooth experience.
Same situation with the HC encoder btw--the defaults are now satisfactory right out of the box. Maybe bump up to the best profile and put in a small bias value, but that's about it. Smooth sailing.

PCORI-AHRQ Funding Announcement to Improve Treatment of Uterine Fibroids
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), our partner on a project to improve treatment for uterine fibroids, released a Request for Funding Applications (RFA) for this initiative on Sept. 30. PCORI will commit up to $20 million through this joint effort to develop a geographically diverse registry of women who have been treated for uterine fibroids and to fund studies of the comparative effectiveness of medical and surgical therapies using data from this registry. AHRQ will administer the application process; an awardee will receive up to $4 million per year for up to five years to build the registry and conduct the research. Letters of intent may be submitted to AHRQ by Friday, Nov. 15, with applications due Monday, Dec. 16. Learn More.
We realize that during the current federal government shutdown, AHRQ staff are not available to answer questions about this opportunity or to receive any submitted material.

Winter Fancy Food Show
Best of Show ~ January 2006 ~ San Francisco
Click here to jump to our list of favorites
Although it's half the size of the NASFT's* main show in July in New York City, the Winter Fancy Food Show is huge. We spent every minute of its three days racing from booth to booth, and we still missed a great deal of it.
*The National Association for the Specialty Food Trade (NASFT) is the professional association for specialty food producers.
The specialness of the winter show is its location: San Francisco attracts West Coast producers who never make it east to the New York City show: we met people from Alaska to New Mexico who exhibit only in San Francisco. California itself is a huge contributor to the show: not only a vast expanse of fertile farmland but a community of imaginative food artists creating a stunning variety of cheeses, chocolates and foods of every description.
The California Olive Oil Council was out in full force with an impressive display of gourmet olive oils; among the representation from California, Australia and New Zealand, we tasted more than 100 fine oils. The Old World groves of Spain, Italy and France might as well have not existed!
If we noticed any trend, it was not the "flavor of the year" as in years past, which brought us rivers of chipotle, pomegranate, wasabi and yuzu that flowed through everything from mustard and salad dressing to crackers and sweet or savory snacks. Perhaps those will emerge at the summer show. Here, the trend was...toffee. New toffee companies have mushroomed all over the place, as if to declare that the low carb craze is over.
A second trend which has been emerging over the last couple of food shows is fruit pastes, which have long been enjoyed with cheese in Spanish cuisines (guava pasta is easily found in Latin supermarkets, and membrillo, quince paste, is the cheese condiment of choice in Spain). You can find fruit pastes at many cheese stores. Led by Australian and New Zealand producers, several brands of tasty fruit pastes—sold in attractive and colorful squares and rectangles in many fruit varieties from fig to kiwi—were enticing buyers, and should be more visible at cheese counters nationwide shortly. Just as with any other condiment, a small dab should be enjoyed with the piece of cheese.
And The Winners Are...
Of all the products in this winners group, three distinguished themselves as not only superb, but distinctly different from anything else in their category. It is to them that we award THE NIBBLE™'s gold, silver and bronze stars for excellence and innovation at Winter 2006 Fancy Food Show.
But all of these products are winners. We look forward to writing complete reviews of them in the coming months. Presented in alphabetical order, they are:
