Just spent four great days at this property. When visiting Lewisburg in the past I had stayed at the Fairfield down the street, but due to the hotel being full for the weekend, I tried the Holiday Inn. This gives me the ability to identify the pluses and minuses of 2 of the 3 best hotels in the area.
Check in here was a breeze despite the fact that there was a major event going on in the area. The front desk staff were organized and I got the room I requested without any hassle.
The room I reserved, an executive suite with the hot tub ( a very nice and large one, I might add) was great. It comes with a kitchenette with mini-fridge, microwave, small sink, coffee maker, and even utensils and paper towels. There is a sitting area with love seat, chair and coffee table which is nice for watching the large LG tv on. There is also a dining area with a small table and two chairs, and a small desk and office chair should you need to get work done. Aside from the great spa tub in the living area, there is also a decent sized bathroom with a tub/shower combo. Only downsides to the bathroom being the showerhead was not as forceful as I like, but it was decent enough. Plenty of towels were provided and their bath products were far superior to the ones offered at Fairfield.
The bed was comfortable and this is the only hotel I have been to where they included labeled pillows (soft and firm) so you can pick your desired firmness level.
The breakfast buffet was terrific and would rate on par with Fairfield if not for the hot cinnamon rolls which were amazing. I had been wanting a good cinnamon roll for a while so this was a nice treat for me. A slight advantage to Holiday Inn because of this.
The housekeepers were nice and all said hello in the morning, they also serviced the room promptly and never once woke us up which is a big thing.
The only minor downsides were the hot tub (in the pool area) was a little too hot for my comfort. The bath towels in this area were rough and not as high quality as the Fairfield ones too, so Fairfield's pool beats this one on that count. Also the elevator was kind of jerky and shaky which I am sure is nothing but I know it has been mentioned in reviews here before.
Another thing to mention is the cemetery next door. While luckily I did not stay on that side of the hotel (request an odd numbered room if possible), honestly it isn't as bad as I thought it would be and I would be okay with a room on that side, although would definitely prefer the side facing Walmart.
Between the two choices I would stay with Holiday Inn Express now due to the fact that their suites have the hot tub and some even have it with a little fireplace. Fairfield suites do not have either features which I think are a big bonus especially as they only run $20-30 more a night than a base guest room.
Thank you, Holiday Inn Express for the very nice stay! Will be back in the future.

Want to Know About Cyberbullying? Ask a 6th Grader
Cyberbullying is big news at the moment -- it's National Bullying Prevention Month, after all. This annual event draws well-deserved attention and helps generate an avalanche of press surrounding cyberbullying statistics, research, effects, and the like. I've learned a lot. But not nearly as much as I've learned from 6th graders.

So Long, Other Albums,
This review is from: So Long, Scarecrow CD (Audio CD)
After we were left with a beautiful aural bruising in 2004, L.A. based Scarling. could have driven their music many different ways. Every single song on their seven-track debut, Sweet Heart Dealer, left a different impression. It's hard to imagine before listening to So Long, Scarecrow, that Scarling. could create yet another different mark, having left so many already. Nevertheless, each of the thirteen tracks taken from this stunning LP have new emotion and new beauty whilst retaining the depth and texture which makes their sound so original in the first place.
The opening track is the first step at introducing you to a whole new plethora of feeling. Firstly Beth Gordon takes one cannon-fuelled bang on the drum and the two seconds you wait, for the rest of the album to start, with a distant fading of sound seems like a lifetime. Like small children at a sweetshop, you're then dragged in by a multitude of stimuli. Jessicka adds sincere vocals that warm to the heart. The mixture of melodic majesty that pours from the guitars of Christian Hejnal, Derik Snell and Rickey Lime is the kind of music you only wish you could create.
Being able to manage a profusion of sound that resonates music made by My Bloody Valentine and yet having a completely archetypal sound at the same time takes absolute genius. From songs like "Northbound On (Cahuenga)" that create a quiescent atmosphere to the noise-pop "City Noise", it's clear that Scarling. have created a masterpiece. If you've ever wanted to effectuate love, all you need do is hit play.
Accessible chaotic beauty bleeds through your stereo on "Stapled To The Mattress". Every word that splits from Jessicka's lips fractures the valves in your heart.
... "You're naked,
And shaking,
Like a two-bit Judas," ...describes exactly how you feel when you're still only forty-five seconds into the song. This song is an emotional reflection of the album as a whole. It's the perfect picture of a stunning range of talent: lyrically, musically and vocally.
It would be extremely easy to write pages about each song that appears on So Long, Scarecrow but this album has mystery like no other album I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. Perhaps "Sweet Heart Dealer" was an experiment, an idea, a step-between a previous and a present. "So Long, Scarecrow" is evolution, a future and a whole lot more that you're just going to have to not stop listening to ...

Welcome to the new Gwinnett Medical Center Family Medicine Residency. We are very excited to be developing, a state-of-the-art, unopposed Family Medicine Residency. Gwinnett Medical Center recognized a growing need for adequate primary care for this community, and has chosen to make a major investment to help address the community's need by starting a Family Medicine Residency. The resources being provided are allowing us to develop innovative programs and excellent learning opportunities in a world-class medical center.
Gwinnett County is located minutes from everything Atlanta has to offer, while still maintaining quaint small town charm going back almost 300 years. Recreation opportunities abound, with several professional sports teams in the county including the Gwinnett Braves–the AAA affiliate of the Atlanta Braves, Lake Lanier and the Mall of Georgia, which is the largest shopping mall in the state! The county supports a diverse population of more than 825,000 with more than 50 languages spoken in its award winning public school system. Several of the communities within the county have been voted Best Places to Live by various magazines such as CNN Money and Family Circle. Still just a short drive to the beaches of Georgia and the Florida Gulf Coast, and less than an hour to the north Georgia mountains, Gwinnett truly is in the middle of it all!
From its humble beginnings at Joan Glancy Memorial Hospital our medical center has grown rapidly. With a recently added Open Heart program, a busy level II trauma center with a dedicated pediatrics emergency department, planned expansion that will add almost 100,000 square feet of care to the beautiful Women's Pavilion, GMC provides outstanding medical care to the citizens of the county.
The faculty and community physicians are enthusiastic about training their new future colleagues. Picture yourself here: working here, living here and playing here!

"From early on, very early on, I understood that art is not about what you say. It's about these other things that you don't say."
"For me, it was more like trying to find a way to do landscape photography and get a result that might be detached from the present—slightly historical, maybe even slightly leaning towards the future—and also kind of abstract. With infrared film it looks like it could be early color photography. It looks historical, but also almost like a little bit of science fiction or—at least—fiction."

End to NHL lockout is double-edged sword for Glendale, Coyotes
When the National Hockey League and National Hockey League Players' Association reached a tentative agreement to end a lockout on Sunday morning, some in Glendale breathed a sigh of relief and others may have begun to worry.
"It depends on your perspective," said Mike Sunnucks of the Phoenix Business Journal. "From the team's bottom line — they lost $20 [million] or $25 million per year in recent years — the less they actually play, the better … Now the restaurants, the bars, the sales tax and all of them around the arena in Glendale have certainly been hurt by the games not being there."
Sunnucks said prospective buyer Greg Jamison could be prepared to finalized a deal for the team soon, as the lockout comes to a close.
"He basically has until the end of the month [January] to sign his part of the deal with Glendale and get that arena money."
If Jamison fails to purchase the team, Sunnucks said the NHL will likely maintain it's ownership of the team, but the future after that is uncertain.
"If he can't come through by the end of the month, we go back to looking at things like Seattle, Quebec City and other markets."

Product Description
"Fresh encourages us to become more familiar with the food we eat, where it comes from and the concept of seasonality...Fresh brings together award-winning recipes inspired by each season's fresh ingredients and the people who produce them." (Lindsay Ford Western Living 2007-04-01)
"Spring salmon roasted in corn husks, steamed asparagus in orange butter sauce, roasted-tomato soupwith sage-and-apple biscuits -- tell me if there's one dish there you wouldn't love to eat. And this joyous book has dozens more...Bishop's insights on sustainability in the kitchen are written with his usual quiet modesty as he suggests 'small actions.'" (Angela Murrills Georgia Straight 2007-04-19)
"At today's top restaurants, ingredients are the stars, not the chefs, not the owners, not the celebrity diners. And as corollary, the producers of these ingredients are edging into the limelight...Hazelmere Farm was a big part of that transformation and the recently-released Fresh, Bishop's fourth cookbook, celebrates his relationship with the farm." (Vancouver Sun 2007-05-16)
"Seasonal ingredients inspire Bishop's simple menus, and recipes showcase the garden's bounty in its almost-naked glory. No gastro-porn here, just simple, pared-down preparations that let the natural flavours shine through. Fresh takes us into the garden and inspires us to bring the harvest home to our tables." (Granville Magazine 2007-06-01)
"From the single, perfect beet decorating the cover through the sauteed shiitake mushrooms topping up crisp spinach to spears of gleaming roasted parsnips and beets, [Fresh] is a cookbook of tempting West Coast favourites that we easterners can share." (Montreal Gazette 2007-07-13)
"You don't often see a group of people waiting in line with big smiles on their faces, but that was the scene...[when] sixty-five people lined up for the opportunity to meet Vancouver-based chef John Bishop...Bishop praised local growers and producers for their amazing quality and diverse range of products." (Comox Valley Record 2007-08-29)
"More than a sound collection of easy to execute recipes (smartly arranged by season), [Fresh] is also a book that salutes the place of local farmers, fishers and livestock. And it's a timely tome that should be on the desk or in the kitchen of every cabinet member as they contemplate tinkering with the Agricultural Land Reserve, the fate of the UBC Farm, or -- dare we say -- consider any convenient 'conversion' of critical arable land for convenient profit." (Vancouver Courier 2008-04-04)
"Bishop's remains the embodiment of good things local. And the man himself has been quietly green about it since the beginning of time...Bishop likes is simplicity elegant though, and it shows. And tastes. What's most compelling about the man and his deeply felt passion about food is that he never seems to get militant about any of it. He remains gentle, easy-going, a bit of a food-whisperer among all the shouting." (Vancouver Lifestyle Magazine 2008-04-04)
About the Author
John Bishop's love for cooking began when he was a child growing up in Newton Powys, Wales. Starting out by helping in his mother's kitchen to eventually as a young man learning the formal requirements of traditional French food preparation at a hotel school. After working as a chef in Great Britain, Bishop moved to Vancouver in 1973. At the urging of friends and investors during the recession of 1985, John opened Bishop's. Since then, Bishop's has consistently been one of the city's top restaurants. Annually the restaurant receives top grades from local as well as all the respected North American guides.
Bishop has authored four cookbooks with Douglas & McIntyre: Bishop's, Cooking at My House, Fresh and Simply Bishop's.
Dennis Green was born in Alberta, though his family has lived in British Columbia for five generations. After extensive travels with his parents, he returned to BC when he was seven years old. His love of cooking led him to apprentice at the Avenue Grill in Vancouver, and he went on to serve as the chef at Barbara-Jo's Restaurant. He has a passion for regional-style cooking using organic, fresh, local and seasonal ingredients. He joined the team at Bishop's in 1993 and was chef there from 1997 to 2007.
Dawne Gourley was born in Vancouver, where she has worked in restaurants for twenty-five years. In 1999, Dawne joined Bishop's as pastry chef, where she creates new recipes every week, inspired by the changing seasons and the restaurant's focus on the best ingredients available. Dawne has contributed to both Simply Bishop's and Fresh.
Gary King, with his wife, Naty, ran Hazelmere Organic Farm in the Hazlemere Valley, just north of Vancouver, where everything is grown without the use of chemicals or pesticides. It was their farm, and the quality of their produce, that inspired John Bishop to become a proponent of cooking with organic vegetables. Gary passed away in April 2009, but his work in promoting organic farming and food, continues to inspire those in the community.

Like the world's population, patients and physicians are living longer,
leading to increased interest in how to live well and die later. The article
by Fried and colleagues1 in this issue of THE
JOURNAL reports historical and measured attributes as risk factors for death
in the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS), a study conducted in the homes of
community-dwelling men and women aged 65 years and older who were followed
up for 5 years. The authors make 2 main points: (1) disease markers or quantitative
measures are better predictors of death than the medical history; and (2)
older people frequently have multiple conditions rather than a single predictor
of death.

Posted on 04/02/2014 10:17:02 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
HIGH POINT, NC - Stanley Furniture Company, Inc. today reported it will cease domestic furniture production in the factory that supports its Young America brand.
We have a healthy Stanley business that is making money. It is supported by a wonderful heritage, strong product in the field and future pipeline, and we are looking forward to the prospects of focusing our team solely on the growth and profitability of this brand in the short-term
We have decided to cease manufacturing operations in Robbinsville, said Glenn Prillaman, President and Chief Executive Officer. After a thorough review of both our own operations and the current marketplace for nursery and youth furniture, management and the Board concluded that the Young America business could not achieve an acceptable level of revenue within an adequate time frame to assure sustainable profitability and has decided that it is time for our company to focus its efforts on our profitable and growing Stanley brand, continued Prillaman.
The company will honor all orders for Young America products placed on our before April 28, 2014. What is important now is that we exit our domestic operation in a way that minimizes the impact on our retail customers, and that we do all we can to help our approximately 400 associates in Robbinsville with this difficult change for them and their families. Additionally, we have retained services to assist in maximizing value from assets related to the Young America brand, commented Prillaman.
Orders for the companys Stanley brand were up double digits in the first quarter, even with the weather-related challenges that plagued retailers across the country. We have a healthy Stanley business that is making money. It is supported by a wonderful heritage, strong product in the field and future pipeline, and we are looking forward to the prospects of focusing our team solely on the growth and profitability of this brand in the short-term, concluded Prillaman.
The company ended its first quarter with approximately $16.7 million in cash and remains debt free. The results of the first quarter and impact of the restructuring will be discussed in detail on the upcoming conference call.
First Quarter 2014 Results
To allow for sufficient evaluation of restructuring charges, the company will delay its release of first quarter results until after market closes on April 30, 2014 and will hold its conference call on the following morning at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The Annual Shareholders Meeting remains scheduled for April 17, 2014.
About the Company
Established in 1924, Stanley Furniture Company, Inc. is a leading designer and manufacturer of wood furniture targeted at the premium segment of the residential market. Its Stanley Furniture brand is supported by an overseas sourcing model and is distributed throughout the upscale market competing through superior product design, finish, styling and piece assortment. The companys common stock is traded on the NASDAQ stock market under the symbol STLY.
Ah, here we are, ... "In May 2010, Stanley shifted production of adult furniture to Southeast Asia vendors, mostly in Indonesia and Vietnam, in the process cutting 530 jobs in Virginia."
I'm as guilty as anybody for acquiescing to this seemingly inevitable trend, but isn't there a limit somewhere?
How can a company turn a profit with these albatrosses, both of which were championed by one of the four most evil women of the 20th Century. Yes, that's FDR's chickadee, Frances Perkins.
Told them a decade ago I was only interested in their US made furniture, which was about 30 per cent of their production at the time.
They didn't understand why. Told the guy if that's the way he felt about the U.S., he should move to China.
I don't know. How can you can compete with slave labor? ... or what is tantamount to it.
A limit to stupid government regulations that make the US an unfriendly place to do business?
Bottomless well I'm afraid
Correct, but don't forget obamacare.
The Dem unemployment legacy can be easily observed by absolutely anyone.
Young Mr. Prillaman makes 300K a year.
Excuse me for laughing, but you could easily find a South Asian CEO for 1/3 of that. And he wouldn't be some frat rat like Prillaman. He'd be one of the smarter people on the planet. Know some of them like that.
So the working people want too much? Bunk. With transfer and transaction costs now, overseas production saves only a few per cent.
This little pig just wants that extra little point or two because it bumps up the bonus. Minimum wage has nothing to do with it.
A Conservative Rebellion is brewing (as Jim Robinson has stated). That will set the stage for the abolition of the minimum wage, OSHA, the EPA, the NLRB and those other entities placing these United States at a competitive disadvantage. When that happens, Red China will again have its citizens living in thatched huts.
With or without the vituperation, that's the name of the game. Margin!
I would really feel safer if the US could become self sufficient. In the event of another world war, would we be able to supply ourselves with everything we need? I doubt it considering in that war our enemies would probably include China and southeast Asia. In fact, I doubt we would have the raw materials and manufacturing infrastructure or a skilled enough workforce to do what we did in WWII. Someone tell me I'm wrong.
What are they living in now? Concrete hellholes! You can't laugh off their capacity to take it. Heh.
Well...well...Carl Sandburg? I'll just say I have as much admiration for him as I do for Upton Sinclair, another leftwing lunatic who strung some words together for a "living".
I don't blame them. The US taxes businesses at a higher rate than other western countries. Its a hostile environment to run a company here.
At least they're fleeing before the obamacare mandate for business kicks in!
What part of "heh" don't you understand?
Very well said!
When Calvin Coolidge was President, America's economic might was unchallenged. The absence of unions, the minimum wage, confiscatory corporate taxes and burdensome regulations allowed businesses to thrive. Liberty and the invisible hand of the free marketplace meant steady profits. In turn that led to thrifty, happy workers. That kind of America can -- and I believe will -- be restored by a return to Constitutional Conservatism and the Biblical Foundation that made these United States great!
Obamacare, Social Security and taxes force businessmen to make the tough decision of right-sizing. CEOs have a moral imperative and fiduciary responsibility to the investors and risk-takers who put it all on the line for an enterprise.
No I get it and only after posting did I realize my words may have comes across as mean-spirited. For that I'm genuinely sorry and I realize that linking to a pretty good poem by ol' Carl doesn't mean that you endorse his brand of wacky liberalism. I hope we're okay since Conservatives are in for the fight of our lives as head toward 2016!
You bet.
Slave labor from your perspective but a very good wage to those who earn it in other countries where inflation has not devalued their money. The US becomes more socialistic, other coutries become more capitalistic.
I think it's all of these plus the lure of slave labor. Hey, why not? If there is no God and it's legal, right?
Walmart helped put a lot of small stores, and small towns, out of business because the people in those small towns wanted to pay less for stuff. It's human nature.
Seems like this company was making a profit, but it wasn't good enough for young sell out Glenn Prillaman. I don't blame unions or government reg's for any of this. Like you said, how can you compete with slave labor, seems to me tariffs should rule the day once again. These globalist sure have an agenda and it's not in the majority of Americans best interest. Of course any idiot voted democrat would buy a foreign product if there was an american product laying right next to it, so much for supporting your union brothers and accelerating the decline of manufacturing. I actually support unions, those men and their relatives knew which side of their bread was buttered on and bought American. The idiots now a days are clueless. I use to buy this one brand of tennis shoes because it was the last American brand there was, then they off-shored, I'm fed up with it. Bring back tariffs.
My husband and I were watching a documentary on Detroit, and all I could think was how much both repulicans and democrats have screwed our country. The democrats with their endless handouts and the republicans just supporting companies moving manufacturing out of our country.
What party stands for the hard working middle class. Neither party!
Free Republic is a Conservative site, and that means pro-God, pro-liberty and pro-freedom. Simply put unions are communistic. Even a cursory examination of unionism and its history reveals that it was tool of international marxism. The movers and shakers of the union movement were servants of the Comintern, comprising a rogue's gallery of some truly evil, despicable men from Bill Haywood, Eugene V. Debs, Samuel Gompers, Walter Reuther, I.W. Able and numerous others.
Supporting unionism inevitably goes hand-in-hand with all forms of liberalism: atheism, abortionism and homosexualism. Because I truly love America, I hate unions.
Supporting unionism inevitably goes hand-in-hand with all forms of liberalism: atheism, abortionism and homosexualism. Because I truly love America, I hate unions.
Well said, and don't forget corrupt ties with organized crime in modern times. History is our friend....
That is what we call CRAPITALISM
You can bet any of the Kentucky or Tennessee hillbilly union members from days past would spit in your eye if you implied they were communist. I've worked in industry my whole life and worked with a bunch of skilled union workers on numerous occasions. I've seen alot of stupid union moves over the years and I tend to agree with you generally. Let's just say I support Americans over foreigner's any day of the week and the way the Gop'e is rolling right now that should be evidently clear. It's a mixed bag for me, support unions or support illegals. I have never been a union member either.
I only mention this because an industry that moves from the U.S. to Asia today may be doing it for perfectly good reasons that aren't obvious. Two possibilities in the furniture business: (1) maybe they're getting the wood for their furniture from Asia, and/or (2) maybe they're selling a lot of furniture to Asian customers.
Not really. I don't see where this company is unionized. Also, they are debt free and making a serious profit.
My sister-in-law is an interior decorator. She said most furniture production shifted to China 10 years ago.
We have a healthy Stanley business that is making money. It is supported by a wonderful heritage, strong product in the field and future pipeline, and we are looking forward to the prospects of focusing our team solely on the growth and profitability of this brand in the short-term...
Sounds like liberal speak for "We're moving to China"
Ah yes, the mandatory excuse for why the economy sucks. It's because it snowed this winter.
""""""Orders for the companys Stanley brand were up double digits in the first quarter, even with the weather-related challenges that plagued retailers across the country. """"""
Yes, when everyone in the U.S. is on welfare the the country economically collapses.
"Unions and the minimum wage are to blame."
Very few if any furniture factories in the south were represented by unions. The wages in southern furniture plants are about $12.00 per hour which equates to $24,000 per year (50 weeks, 40 hours per week, $12 per hour). It would be very difficult for a head of household to raise a family on $24,000 per year today. Lower the pay to the federal minimum wage and the same worker will earn $14,500 per year.
In 2013 the average minimum wage in China was $264 per month which represents an annual income of $3,168. If the US minimum wage is to blame, and Chinese labor is the competition, what would you suggest is the appropriate pay for US labor in US factories? Should a non-union US furniture factory be paying its workers $3,168 per year?
The reality is an American worker cannot feed, clothe, and provide shelter for himself or herself, much less a family, on a wage competitive with Chinese workers. Chinese wages are so low it is more economical to ship lumber from US forests to China, convert the raw lumber to finished furniture, and ship it back across the ocean than it is to employ US workers doing the same job at minimum wage or even below minimum wage.
Unions and the minimum wage are not the problem. The problem is the Congress of the United States approved free trade agreements eliminating tariffs and quotas opening and up the US market to unrestricted sales of products by foreign factories. Once these policies were implemented the economics of entire industries changed. Corporations and Wall Street investment companies decided to allocate manufacturing capital outside the US, resulting in the deindustrialization of the United States over a period of 25 years.
If the same trade policies had been in effect in the second half of the 19th century, the United States would never have become a great industrial power. During the period after the Civil War Congress chose to sustain high tariff for the express purpose of encouraging capital investment in US manufacturing and transportation network required to move raw materials to the factories. Congress also encouraged massive immigration to supply low cost labor to man the factories.
Today we have chosen to eliminate tariffs. If the unions were banned and the minimum wage was eliminated today, the fundamental economics would not change. A US factory offering Chinese wages to workers would have no employees because a worker cannot afford to live in the USA on a Chinese wage.
The answer is simple but politically unacceptable to Wall Street and multinational corporations. Reinstate the tariff rates in effect before George H.W. Bush took office and it will become economically viable to manufacture consumer products in the United States for domestic consumption. Continue the current policies and watch more US factories and manufacturing jobs go offshore.
Twenty five years of the free trade experiment has gutted the US manufacturing economy and is destroying the middle class. Union greed and work rules certainly played a role in encouraging northern factories to move to the southern US in the 1970's and 1980's. However, it was elimination of trade barriers that caused factories to exit the US in the last 25 years, not the minimum wage or union activity.
If we continue the same trade policies, the US will look like a poor Central American country in another 25 years. Low wages, high unemployment, high crime, rampant corruption, a dictatorial government, and a two class society with the very poor and a very small ultra rich ruling class.
Both political parties are funded by Wall Street and large corporations. Both political parties supported globalization and free trade. As a result we never had a national debate about free trade, it quietly happened. The results have been disastrous for US workers and the total economy. However, no one in the political class today is even talking about changing policy. Running for office is expensive and any politician proposing a radical change in trade policy would be unable to find funding for an election campaign.
Is N. Carolina a Union state, or are they Right to Work?
The cost of Obamacare destroys yet another American industry.
-——Unions and the minimum wage are not the problem. ——
From a stockholders/owners view, there is no problem. To produce a profit, the cost of the commodity called labor can be reduced if noncompetitive plants are closed. What is frequently misunderstood is that the labor competition exists on a global basis.
The wreckage of WW II dampened the ability of many countries. For perhaps the last two decades there has been all sorts of growth that permitted them to act in ways previously not possible. The temporary advantage We had begin to dissipate.
The competition is now fully in force. The off the beaten path unbeaten paths to the mountains and Robbinsville are feeling the effect. They are no longer competitive.
The present is not a problem, it is a challenging opportunity.
Right to work
A good read, thanks for that.
I retrieved this data from here:
The United States is the world's largest importer.
Imports in the United States for February 2014 were valued at $232,734,000,000.
U.S. main imports are:
Industrial Supplies, including crude oil (32 percent of total imports);
Capital Goods (24 percent);
Automotive vehicles, parts, and engines (13 percent);
Consumer Goods (12 percent);
Foods, Feeds, and Beverages (5 percent).
Main imports partners are:
China (18 percent of total imports);
European Union (16 percent);
Canada (14 percent);
Mexico (12 percent);
Japan (6 percent).
I'm not sure how they define "capital goods".
What's 1% of 200 trillion? (2 billion)
You sound like a good little communist.
A significant problem is the social costs placed on the rest of society when these factories close. Given that we as a society have chosen to end the laissez faire attitude of the 19th century when unemployed or injured workers were left to their own devices, today when a factory closes social benefits (unemployment insurance, welfare, retraining) are bestowed on the jobless. Those benefits are paid to the jobless by taking income from those with jobs through the tax system.
In addition, when towns are decimated by industry disappearing, high rates of unemployment typically result in drug use and crime. Again, those still working are taxed to pay rising costs for law enforcement, incarceration, legal aid, and drug rehabilitation. These are real costs to the economy which the firm who lays off the workers and departs the community does not incur.
Labor competition has always existed on a global basis. In the 19th century the new American nation had the choice of allowing open markets or creating a closed market. The founders and their successors chose to define free trade as the freedom for any US citizen to trade with any firm or nation. It did not mean open access for foreign nations and foreign firms to the US market. They early leaders understood that the immature US economy could not compete with European manufacturers. They also understood that if the US market were open with low tariffs, European manufacturers would flood the US market with their surplus production but would not invest in building factories in the US. As a result the young nation placed high tariffs on imports of manufactured goods. These high tariffs resulted in European investment in factories located in the US to avoid the high import tariffs.
Note that at the time wages in the US and Europe were not significantly different so while high tariffs protected US industry the tariffs were not intended to provide higher wages to US workers. In fact, during that time immigration policy was very loose for the express purpose of attracting immigrants to fill up the western lands as well as ensure a sufficient labor supply to keep wages down.
The US has both the population size and natural resources to have a self contained market. For a long period of our history we were primarily self sufficient and we can become self sufficient again if we resume a high tariff trade policy.
Nothing he posted was the least bit "communistic". The company is very profitable, but the CEO decided he wants it to be even more profitable. So he moves production offshore. Maybe thats a good short term decision, but its a very bad long term decision.
Condemning the "rich" while defending the worker and their altruistic goals is most certainly communist lingo.
What else is a company supposed to do considering the taxes, regulations, and poor economy in America. His job is to keep the company profitable. In many other cases those companies are owned and run by foreigners who most certainly do not hold America as their priority.
Yes it sucks that all of our jobs are going overseas. Perhaps we should push back on taxes, OSHA, EPA, FTC, FDA, and every other out of control govt jobs program. That might make it easier and more profitable for those companies to stay here.
We don't want a self contained Market
We want global market to sell In to
You are wrong. And couldn't be more wrong. How is "defending the worker" communist lingo? Communism is about (among other things) state control of industry. We are talking about nothing of the sort. Lots of CEO's have gone for more short term profits and ultimately ended up destroying their companies.
Henry Ford is a great example. He RAISED wages. Voluntarily. To outrageous levels by the standard of the day. And as a result, his employees were more loyal, AND able to buy the product they were making. It was good for business.
IF you think that pursuit of short term profits should be the CEO's only goal, then clearly you know little about business.
Moving to China sounds like a good idea until they start a war. Then kiss the company goodbye.
So your solution is to raise prices for all Americans (aka, inflation) during an economic downturn, all for a vague goal of "more manufacturing" when we are still #2 in the world in manufacturing? Sorry, that would be a very poor idea. We already have WAY too many programs that essentially boil down to "have all Americans pay some more so that a few people can have XYZ". We don't need more.
(Our overlords are also doing EVERYTHING they can do keep inflation at an absolute minimum, because they know that if interest rates go up just a 2-3 points, there will be massive repercussions worldwide. The hyper-debt that Japan and the US have been living on for the past 6 years will hit both like a ton of bricks... and without anyone large enough to bail us out (Germany is barely big enough to bail out tiny Greece), it will spiral quickly. Inflation is their greatest and realest fear right now... and not just for their phoney-baloney jobs, either.)

Walgreen Co is the nation's largest drugstore chain with fiscal 2008 sales of $59 billion. The company operates 6,902 drugstores in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The company is member of the S&P 500 and was a recent addition to the S&P Dividend Aristocrats index.
Walgreen Co has paid dividends for more than 76 years and consistently increased payments to common shareholders every year for 34 years. The company recently announced a 22.2% raise in its quarterly dividends.
Between June of 1999 up until June 2009 this dividend growth stock has delivered an annual average total return of 0.70% to its shareholders. The stock is changing hands at the same levels it was trading a decade ago.
The company has managed to deliver a 14.90% average annual increase in its EPS between 1999 and 2008. Earnings per share are expected to decrease to $2 in FY 2009, before recovering to $2.30 by FY 2010. Sales are also expected to increase from $59 billion in 2008 to $68 billion in 2010. Unlike its competitors, Walgreen seems to focus on internal growth either through opening new stores or focusing on proper location of in store merchandise, growth of products offered and making its operations more efficient. The company plans to slow down on the growth rate of opening new stores from high single digits to low single digits by 2011.
The Return on Equity has slightly decreased over the past decade from 19.70% in 1999 to 18% in 2008. Rather than focus on absolute values for this indicator, I generally want to see at least a stable return on equity over time.
Annual dividends have increased by an average of 13.40 % annually since 1999, which is lower than the growth in EPS.
A 13 % growth in dividends translates into the dividend payment doubling every five years. If we look at historical data, going as far back as 1976, Walgreen Co has actually managed to double its dividend payment every five and a half years on average.
The dividend payout ratio has ranged between 13.6% and 20.9%. A lower payout is always a plus, since it leaves room for consistent dividend growth minimizing the impact of short-term fluctuations in earnings. The low payout has enabled Walgreen to spend more on growing its business. As its markets become saturated I expect the company to increase its payout over time.
Currently Walgreen Co is trading at 14.50 times earnings and yields 1.90%. While the price earnings multiple and the dividend payout are attractive, the dividend yield is below my 3% entry criteria. I would only consider initiating a position in Walgreen on dips below $18.50. If the stock drops to $25 and premiums increase I would consider selling longer dated covered puts at strikes $20 or $17.50.

In late April, George Soros revealed a 7.9% stake in J.C. Penney, a name that Ackman's Pershing Square owns nearly 18% of. It would not surprise me to see Soros use his position in J.C. Penney to put additional pressure on Ackman. By selling his shares, Soros could put additional pressure on J.C. Penney shares over the short-term, which could lead to more negative publicity for Ackman.....
what if Akman sells to put heat on Soros...... Heck what if the both SELL.....LOL
They are both way too greedy to take a loss. Especially Soros. He's like a hog hunting for truffles.
Believe me. Soros will not sell his shares below tangible book. If anything, he will buy more. Who do you think is buying all the large blocks today?
But what if the squeeze in HLF is worth more to Soros than the long in JCP?
Soros very publicly redeems over $1 billion from Pershing.
He then sells the JCP stock, driving the price down and forcing the hand of many Pershing investors on the fence about pulling their money out. If he gets that to happen, he forces Ackman to cover the short to meet the redemptions and the squeeze for the real money is on.
Whatever upside there is in Penney's pales in comparison to a move to $120 in HLF. Not saying it will happen but it's interesting that Soros is in all of these places.
Right on binny. Those boys are loading up. Ackman is so arrogant he is most likely adding another large position so he has even more control over the company. This guy does not give up. EVER. It may kill him in the end, but he won't budge. History proves that.

Hi There,
We have some images that are available for download.
So we have a text that links to the image in a new page (target="_blank)
When we do so the image is atomatically opened in lightbox, we notices in the code it automatically gets: rel="lightbox[auto_group1]"
How can we disable that so the text link will just open the image in a blank page….
This only happens with .jpeg files, with .pdf we get the behaviour we want.
Any ideas?
The topic 'disable lightbox on text links to image' is closed to new replies.

Product Description
'[R. Scott Bakker is a] class act like George R. R. Martin, or his fellow Canadians Steven Erikson and Guy Gavriel Kay. He gets right away from the 'downtrodden youth becoming king' aspect of epic fantasy in his very impressive first novel - THE DARKNESS THAT COMES BEFORE. No clunky analogy of medieval Europe here. Odd, fascinating characters in a world full of trouble and sorcery' '10 Authors to Watch' SFX --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
About the Author
Scott Bakker is the recipient of a Canada Council for the Arts Fellowship, a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Fellowship, and the winner of the Helen B. Allison Gold Medal. He is the author of five critically acclaimed novels, including the Prince of Nothing Trilogy, a series that Publisher's Weekly calls "a work of unforgettable power." His novels been translated into more than a dozen languages. He lives in London, Ontario with his wife and daughter.See all Product Description

Characters introduced in the initial trilogy continue to entertain and new characters introduced in the present work are every bit as fascinating. Bakker is a master of presenting characters, events, and settings with amazing depth, consequently endowing these elements with rich and meaningful context. Throughout we feel immersed in an world with a palpable sense of dramatic and violent history. For me, one of the most compelling aspects of Bakker's works is the questions they raise both of the philosophical sort and with respect to the sense that there is always more going on than either the reader or the characters themselves can penetrate. We are continuously compelled to read on. The good news is that the wait for the first volume in the Aspect Emperor trilogy is over but the bad news is that now the wait for the next instalment in this series begins.
Not much has changed in the world, the setting, or the writing. Several characters are the same, only older, and there are a few new ones, including the children of the Aspect-Emperor Kelhus and his wife Esmenet.
The events of the book are told through the eyes of several "main" characters.
Esmenet, the Empress, is a mother fooled by her young son Kelmomas, who is a real wild card. Much of the story played out in the capital is seen through his eyes, and produced by him. His mother, though the regent in the absence of the Emperor, seems strangely passive.
Sorweel is the teenaged son of the king of Sakarpus, the last free city at the northern edge of the Empire. As it is crushed like an insect by the massive army and powerful sorceries of the Empire, Sorweel becomes its king. Immediately, he is abducted as a hostage into the great army, and carried north to war, the Aspect-Emperor's crusade against the No-God. Sorweel grows up rapidly, from an ignorant child to a thoughtful adult, gathering strength and understanding. He is clearly preparing for a larger role in the next two books.
The last major part of the story is seen through Drusas Achamian, the only Wizard (non-aligned sorceror) in the Empire. He remains the enemy of the Aspect-Emperor, who of course stole his wife. Almost too late, he hears of the crusade (the Great Ordeal) and starts to try to counterattack. At the same time, Mimara, daughter of Esmenet from her days as a whore, joins him to learn sorcery. This part is actually the main portion of this first volume, as Achamian hires a group of Scalpers to take him to a cache in the North where he hopes to find proof that Kelhus is a fake.Read more ›
I'm happy to say that the first installment of this new trilogy, The Aspect-Empereror, had me hooked from the get-go and didn't let go. I finished the last half of the book with nary a pause in reading, after moving through the first half at a slower pace. By the ending chapters, I could barely tear my eyes away from the page. I'm now left salivating at the prospect of the next novel in the series.
The Judging Eye is told from three different locations, by a handful of different characters, equally split amongst new characters and old standbys from the first trilogy. It takes place approximately twenty years following the conclusion of the Thousandfold Thought, on a continent newly conquered and united (mostly) under the god-like rule of Anasûrimbor Kellhus, the Aspect-Emperor.
One third is told from the Andiamine Heights, the Emperor's palace in the capital city of Momemn. Esmenet, empress and wife of Kellhus, the Aspect-Emperor (who only makes a couple of appearances throughout the novel) tells the tale here, as well as her youngest son, Kelmomas, a despicable child if I've ever seen one (and worthy heir to his father, based on the first trilogy.)
The second tier takes place on the frontier of the Ordeal, Kellhus' massive army trudging across the Ancient North to war against the "evil" (relatively speaking) Consult and the No-god, Mog-Pharau.Read more ›

|Industrial Printing Solutions
Number of employees
|600 worldwide
Printronix is an American supplier of line matrix, thermal bar code printer, radio frequency identification (RFID) and mobility products. Printronix printers are typically used for bar code labeling of products, as well as high-volume printing of reports. Printronix printers are typically used for barcode labeling of products, high-volume printing of reports and specialty printing solutions in manufacturing supply chain, retail, automotive, government, and food and beverage distribution sectors.
With its headquarters in Irvine, California, Printronix employs over 600 personnel through its 14 offices worldwide.[1]
Printronix's products are primarily used in industrial environments for printing high-volume reports, barcode labels, apparel tags and receipts. Line Matrix,[2] Thermal[3] and RFID[4] are the categories by which the company differentiates its product line. In 2000, Printronix introduced integrated verification technology known as the Online Data Validation (ODV) option on the T5000 Thermal Printer Series. This Technology helps to verify printed labels by setting specifications for what a perfect barcode must look like. If the standard of print quality is not met the ODV reprints the barcode again until a perfect match to its standard is produced.[5] PrintNet Enterprise Suite (PNE), a web-based application allowing administrators to network and manage all Printronix line-matrix, thermal and RFID printers from a single computer, was launched in 2007.[6] The T8000 was launched in 2015 and is the first in a new line of thermal printing solutions from Printronix.[7] Besides its printers, Printronix also offers supplies, parts, accessories, service and software.
Printronix was founded in 1974 by Robert A. Kleist and business partner Gordon Barrus, and David Mayne. Working out of a garage in Playa Del Rey, California, the Printronix team developed a 300-line-per-minute (LPM) prototype line printer, called the P300[8] series.
In January 2008, Printronix was acquired by Vector Capital[9] and became a private company and in 2009 Printronix acquired its closest competitor, TallyGenicom.[10] As a result of the TallyGenicom acquisition, Printronix now owns the intellectual property for the TallyGenicom line printers.[citation needed] Printronix was acquired by Corona Investment Partners,[11] a New York City based private investment firm in January 2013. [1].
Werner Heid[12] was appointed CEO of Printronix in 2015, taking over from Randy Eisenbach who retired from the board after a 6-year tenure. Heid was the CEO of Iomega Corp before taking over the reins at Printronix [2].
- 1976: Printronix goes Public and trades on the Nasdaq.[13]
- 1981: Opens Holland manufacturing facility and expands global operations to Europe, Middle-East and Africa.
- 1985: Operations expand into Asia-Pacific with the opening of the Singapore Facility.[14]
- 1995: Printronix enters the Indian Market and signs agreement with Wipro.
- 1998: Expansion into the China Market.
- 2001: Printronix acquires RJS and enters the scanner/ verifier market.[15]

For me, choosing a winner comes down to feel. The top spot is a toss-up between the very similar Irwin and Lenox models. They're medium-sized, easy to grip, and very comfortable all-around cutters. I'd also keep the Tajima in my pouch. I like having the versatility of a long (4 inches fully extended) blade for cutting rigid foam and thick batt insulation, and the snap blades are quick to change when doing anything where I chew up edges fast. The Stanley is solid and comfortable. I like the Olfa's featherweight feel, five-position detents, and smooth blade action.
The automatic blade-loading features on some of the knives are attractive–and may be a better choice for guys who really go through blades–but they didn't sway my choice. The Olympia is great for heavy cutting, but felt too large for all-around use. The Great Neck and Husky are on the larger side and are not as comfortable to me for prolonged cutting. The Klein and similarly shaped Hyde just don't feel right in my hand and the reload features aren't as elegant as some of the other tools. The Sheffield is a different kind of knife, handier for pocketknife duty rather than all-day cutting. But, because it uses a utility knife blade, you always have a razor sharp edge at hand.
–Mike Guertin is a builder and remodeler in East Greenwich, RI., and is a member of Hanley Wood's JLCLive! construction demonstration team.
Standard utility knife blades are getting more than a face-lift with the introduction of the Irwin Blue bi-metal blades and Lenox Gold titanium nitride–edge bi-metal blades. These blades take a tremendous amount of side pressure–and in most cases will bend rather than snap like blades that are probably in your knife right now. And the manufacturers say you'll get three or more times the life from the blade edges. It was obvious during the test period these blades stayed sharper longer, but it was hard to quantify just how much longer.
Tajima snap-off blades are another choice. They're thick, sharp, long, and take a lot of punishment. And then, all you have to do is snap the dull part off to reveal a fresh edge. At 4 inches long, they're great for cutting batt or thick rigid foam insulation. You'll only find Tajima blades in professional tool shops; don't reload them with department store substitutes or you'll be disappointed.

I just purchased a 2001 Chevy Impala from a local dealer in impeccable condition- 95,000 miles, 3.4 V6. When I turn on the A/C there is a moldy musty smell. There was no cabin air filterWe put in a new cabin air filter but that has not helped. The car sat on the lot from November till June. How can I make it smell better?
