Children's Literature - Ru Story-HuffmanThis beautiful book presents different situations and shows how those situations change over differing time spans. Using animals as a common theme, Thornhill has developed a pleasing and entertaining book, which is also very educating. Each two-page spread shows a scene from nature. The following spread shows that same scene after a span of a few minutes, days, months or a year. Children looking at this book have the opportunity to discover differences, enjoy art, and identify different animals, insects and creatures of the wild. The borders of each spread offer the names of animals portrayed in the pictures. An excellent book.
Before and after: A Book of Nature Timescapesby Jan Thornhill, Thornhill
Jan Thornhill uses vibrant art to introduce the "nature timescape" to children, depicting from picture to picture how natural scenes change over spans of time ranging from a few seconds to a year. The environments--a tropical coral reef, an African savannah, a meadow in North America, and the South American rain forest--will delight children as they point out what has
Jan Thornhill uses vibrant art to introduce the "nature timescape" to children, depicting from picture to picture how natural scenes change over spans of time ranging from a few seconds to a year. The environments--a tropical coral reef, an African savannah, a meadow in North America, and the South American rain forest--will delight children as they point out what has changed from scene to scene in the before and after pictures. Age 4 and up.
Editorial Reviews
School Library Journal - School Library JournalK-Gr 3In rich, detailed illustrations, flora and fauna are depicted in various habitats "Before" and then again "After" a period of time has passed. For example, a coral reef displays many species of creaturesfish, starfish, sea urchins, a giant clam. Turn the page and a few moments have passed during which some of the creatures have left the scene; others, such as a shark and a large turtle, have entered. A pond is shown at sunset. Turn the page and an hour has passed; the animals now begin their nighttime activities. Other habitats include an African savannah, a meadow, a South American rain forest, the edge of a forest in eastern Australia, and a school yard. For each area, different lengths of time elapse. Illustrated borders list the various animals found within so that children can easily identify them. The "Nature Notes" on the back page provide further explanations of what has taken place in these "timescapes." Thornhill has brilliantly executed this unique and clever idea that will lend itself to a good discussion. Children will be able to grasp the concept that timewhether a moment or a yearbrings changes to any environment, including their own.Helen Rosenberg, St. Scholastica High School, Chicago, IL
Kirkus ReviewsWith scrupulous care and exhibiting obvious research, Thornhill (Crow and Fox, 1993, etc.) presents seven biomes, one in every spreadtropical coral reef, wetland, savannah, meadow, temperate forest edge, rain forest, and school yardon which appear about two dozen animals in a natural setting; the animals appear again in miniature and labeled in the colored border. A second spread of the featured biome follows, showing it a few seconds later, a minute later, a day later, a year later, etc. Children can observe the action at a tranquil watering hole a minute before a lioness leaps onto the scene, or the few seconds it takes for creatures at a coral reef to scatter and hide once the shark shows up. At the school yard, the "before" scene shows that a habitat is being created, with trees in burlap bags and gardening equipment; the "after" spread is set a year later, when the garden has become leafy and birds, butterflies, squirrels, and frogs have settled into the environment along with the children. A section of nature notes provides an additional paragraph of information for each locale, while the handsome, heavily detailed full-color drawings make a guessing game of some of the animals' hiding spots. Useful for biome study or just for browsing.

The Role of Language & Discourse in the Investigation of Privilege: Using Participatory Action Research to Discuss Theory, Develop Methodology, & Interrupt Power

Rooted in feminist philosophy, critical race theory, and participatory action research (PAR), I partnered with four faculty and four students at an elite, private, college preparatory day school for boys in order to examine bullying. In this article I closely examine the role of language and discourse when conducting counter hegemonic research with people who are predominantly privileged and within institutions designed to reproduce those privileges. I briefly describe the co-construction of our theory and instrument to illustrate that our close attention to language in regards to bullying both helped us understand our work and changed how we went about conducting the study. I describe how our strategic use of language to broadly define bullying helped us capture interesting data and interrupt power. And finally, I discuss our political use of language to others and suggest that while it paved a safer space for us to conduct our work it also may have restricted our work from having the power to resist co-optation and promote sustainable, systemic change.

Selected Publications:
Originally From: Prince William, Virginia
Why are you teaching?
I teach because I equate students with family. I do not see the individuals coming into my class each day as students. Instead, I view them as brothers and sisters; early in the semester, I try to create a passionate family of learners. They are puzzled when they do not see me standing behind the podium waiting to take attendance on the first day of class. Instead, I walk around the classroom shaking hands and greeting each student. I try to make each one feel important. The nervousness in the room begins to melt away as some laugh and some settle comfortably into their chairs; their body language informs me that they are poised and ready for something exciting to begin. Then I pass out birthday candles. "Today, I would like for you to share your wish with us; what is your wish for this class or for your life right now?" Some share funny and creative wishes. Some share wishes of becoming a doctor, a lawyer, a teacher, or an architect. Some share wishes of becoming a missionary; some share wishes of becoming a father or a mother. Some wishes are extremely thoughtful, and some are extremely moving. Once all have shared, I then recite the following lines with them from Henry David Thoreau's Walden:
. . . To be awake is to be alive. I have never yet met a man who was quite awake. How could I have looked him in the face? We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us in our soundest sleep . . . I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life . . .
I then share my wish with them: "I wish for us to become a passionate community of learners, a close-knit family of brothers and sisters," and then I ask, "Are you truly willing for this wish to become true?"
I am determined that my students will feel valued and will be able to comfortably share their thoughts, opinions, and insights. Unfortunately, years ago I discovered what happens when people lack a community such as this. I will never forget the time when my whole neighborhood stood silently one evening. My friend Mark, who lived around the corner, was found hanging on the bars of his swing set. Weeks before his death, some of us complained to teachers and administrators about the senseless bullying in our classrooms and on our playground; however, our complaints fell on deaf ears. Mark's image has haunted me through the years, and whenever I walk into a brand new classroom, I remember the shadowy figure of my friend who ended his life because he felt invisible at our school. I share the story about Mark with my students, making them realize that I want to have a class where everyone is valued and appreciated; every soul around our table is welcomed. I look into their eyes and repeat several times: ". . . in this class, you have a voice!" Then throughout the opening weeks of the semester, I share with them my ultimate goal: we will read, we will savor, we will share, we will create, and we will challenge ideas in this scholarly universe. I want them to appreciate differences and to value diverse worldviews. I remind them not to worry if disagreements arise during our scholarly explorations or if there are various interpretations of a text because our classroom is a safe place. We are a family. Understanding the concept of family will enable them—as future teachers, lawyers, doctors, politicians, business leaders, artists, etc.— to tirelessly fight outside the classroom for those like my friend Mark. They will be able to transform a sometimes cold and distant world into a loving family.
Teaching Philosophy
"What is your teaching philosophy?" This is a question that is often posed during a job interview or at a teacher's conference. I often reply, "It can be best described through that teacher from the movie Dead Poets Society." However, many people scoff at my response, believing that the movie is too shallow to effectively embrace the ideal art of effective teaching.
I simply disagree.
In some instances, art beautifully and powerfully captures real life. The movie is actually based upon the teaching life of Sam Pickering, a professor who teaches English at the University of Connecticut; he is an inspirational teacher who carries his passion and his love for literature into a classroom of unmotivated students, and Tom Schulman, the screenplay writer of Dead Poets Society, captures this teacher's uncanny ability. The English professor is a modern-day transcendentalist, and it is only fitting for him to quote Henry David Thoreau. When one considers the pandemonium of the world today, especially the insane amount of whimsical distractions on this merry-go-round called life, it is imperative that professors find ways of attracting this generation of students into our arena of higher learning.
I strongly believe that my teaching philosophy is one that effectively reaches this generation of students; basically, my teaching philosophy is trifold. First of all, similar to Mr. Keating's teaching philosophy in Dead Poets Society, I strive to create a passionate community of learners, a vibrant environment where each member is valued and treated like family as we eagerly savor life and literature around the table of life. Secondly, I strive to create opportunities where diverse ideas are welcomed and challenged, preparing them to utilize critical thinking skills in their current lives and in their future careers; when they learn how to analyze complex ideas, they become problem solvers, visionaries, and dreamers for our challenging world. Finally and most importantly, I strive for us to enthusiastically embrace the example of Christ, to use our words, our deeds, and our lives to fervently fight for those who are being oppressed in the midst of this culture that loves worshipping self-promotion, greed, and wealth. I love the ending of the movie Dead Poets Society because it beautifully captures what the students have ultimately learned after studying at the feet of Mr. Keating. During the final scene, some of the students are standing upon their desks in an act of defiance against injustice.
Striving to Create a Passionate Community of Learners
On the first day of class, I immediately try to create a passionate community of learners; hence, I am incorporating my teaching philosophy. The students are puzzled when they do not see me standing behind the podium waiting to take attendance for the first time. Instead, I walk around the classroom shaking hands and greeting each student. I try to make each one feel important. The nervousness of the room begins to melt away as some laugh and some settle more into their chairs; their body language informs me that they are poised and ready for something exciting to begin. Then I will pass out birthday candles. "Today, I would like for you to share your wish to us; what is your wish for this class or for your life right now?" Some share funny and creative wishes with me. Some will share wishes of becoming a doctor, a lawyer, a teacher, or an architect. Some will share wishes of becoming a missionary; some share wishes of becoming a father or a mother. Some wishes are extremely thoughtful, and some are extremely moving. Once all have shared, I share my wish with them. My wish is for my students and I to become a passionate community of learners, a close-knit family of brothers and sisters. And then from memory, I recite to them my favorite scene from Dead Poets Society:
We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering . . . . These are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life, but poetry, beauty, romance, love. These are what we stay alive for.
To quote from Whitman:
The answer—That you are here . . . that life exists, an identity. That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?
After reciting this scene to them, many of them are applauding. I stress to them the importance of sharing their verses on this stage called life; I remind them that God created each one of us for a spiritual purpose. I tell them that in my class they have a verse to share with each other, that they have a voice in this family; we are brothers and sisters on this grand journey, learning and growing together. I want them to come into my class with great passion and with great wonderment. I conclude our time together in prayer and with a blessing, reminding them that I am wishing and praying for God to bless us with a passionate community of learners.
In her book Teaching to Transgress, bell hooks discusses how there are so many professors who are passionless about the classes they teach. Many of them have forgotten why they fell in love with teaching and with their field of study: "It surprised and shocked me to sit in classes where professors were not excited about teaching . . . the classroom became a place I hated . . . . The University and the classroom began to feel more like a prison, a place of punishment and confinement rather than a place of promise and possibility" (4). Each day that I teach, I fight to make sure that my students are not seeing my class as a "prison" or as "a place of punishment and confinement." Many students, especially undergraduates, view freshman composition or sophomore literature as a "prison sentence." Through the years, I have heard them ask: "Why do I have to take this English class?"; "Why is this course required?"; "What does this class have to do with my major?" They are passionless about many of the general education classes we teach.
But it does not have to be this way.
When I was in college, I, too, experienced professors who were passionless about teaching, and I think many of them became that way because their students walked into their classes with passionless for the discipline being taught. So I fight. I fight passionately for them to demolish the gross misconceptions that they have about English, writing, literature, or about university life, and I fight to inspire them to embrace a beautiful, a nobler meaning for my class and for education. I read to them from the syllabus, several times through, my goal for them to have a sincere passion in my classroom: "Active participation is required in this class. Each student must have active participation. Allow your mind to truly soar in this class—answer questions, ask questions, talk about your discoveries, and share your insights about the literature; become passionate and filled with sincere joy for the literature while you are in this class. Your participation is a crucial component to the learning process; we learn and grow when all members are contributing around the table of life."
I make a contract with them. I tell them that if they are passionate about my course in every way, I, too, will do the same. I express to them that this passion—this desire, this hunger, this thirst for literature and writing is possible. I promise them that with all of us passionately working together, we will experience a class beyond measure. We will truly become a community, a family that experiences true excitement for learning. bell hooks affirms this same desire as she writes:
As a classroom community, our capacity to generate excitement is deeply affected by our interest in one another, in hearing one another's voices, in recognizing one another's presence. Since the vast majority of students learn through conservative, traditional educational practices and concern themselves only with the presence of the professor, any radical pedagogy must insist that everyone's presence is acknowledged. That insistence cannot be simply stated. It has to be demonstrated through pedagogical practices. To begin, the professor must genuinely value everyone's presence. There must be an ongoing recognition that everyone influences the classroom dynamic, that everyone contributes. These contributions are resources. Used constructively they enhance the capacity of any class to create an open learning community. . . . It is rare that any professor, no matter how eloquent a lecturer, can generate through his or her actions enough excitement to create an exciting classroom. Excitement is generated through collective effort. (8)
Striving to Create Opportunities Where Ideas are Welcomed and Challenged
I will never forget the time when my whole neighborhood stood silently one evening. We all stood around without a saying word; we just watched. My friend from around the corner, Mark, was found hanging on the bars of his swing set. Weeks before his death, some of us kept complaining to teachers and administrators about the senseless bullying in our classrooms and on our playground; our complaints fell upon deaf ears. This image has stayed with me through the years. Whenever I walk into a brand new classroom, I remember the shadowy figure of my friend who ended his life because he felt invisible at our school. I share the story about Mark with my students, making them realize that I want a class where everyone is valued and appreciated; every soul around our table is welcomed. I look into their eyes and repeat several times: ". . . in this class, you have a voice!" Then throughout the opening weeks of the semester, I share with them the ultimate purpose of the university life: we read, we savor, we share, we create, and we challenge ideas in this scholarly universe. I get them to appreciate differences and to value diverse worldviews. I remind them not to worry if disagreements arise during our scholarly explorations or if they do not interpret a work of literature the way I see it. We do not avoid conflict in my class; in fact, I will even play the "devil's advocate" so that they will consider different sides of an issue. When I do this, I think we learn how to graciously critique each other, how to graciously offer the solid evidence when disagreements arise, and how to graciously leave our hearts and minds open for change.
Overall, I stress that domination or oppression is not acceptable in my classroom. Once again, I would like to invite bell hooks into this discussion; she illuminates in her writings how universities tragically teach students to perpetuate countless acts of domination inside and outside of the classroom; in many academic settings, I have witnessed how one worldview or perspective dominates and oppresses others. I believe that it is imperative for each student to have equality in my class. No one rules over the other. I try to create a place where love and diversity is the order of the day so that every student, even those who may be like my friend Mark, feel warmly welcomed instead of ignored, and I encourage students that what is practiced in my classroom should be practiced outside of the classroom. We must continue to fight for all people who are being oppressed and mistreated:
We cannot be easily discouraged. We cannot despair when there is conflict. Our solidarity must be affirmed by shared belief in a spirit of intellectual openness that celebrates diversity, welcomes dissent, and rejoices in collective dedication to truth. . . . All of us in the academy and in the culture as a whole are called to renew our minds if we are to transform educational institutions—and society—so that the way we live, teach, and work can reflect our joy in cultural diversity, our passion for justice, and our love of freedom. (33-34)
The Integration of Faith and Learning
Striving to Embrace the Example of Christ
Michael hiked into our classroom with a heavy heart upon his aching shoulders. He sat in the back of the classroom, quietly staring out the window. His disposition revealed that something was wrong. When I asked for prayers that day in class, he raised his hand and explained, with a few tears streaking down his face, that his sister died while fighting in Iraq the previous week. We all knew that he was always thinking of her because he would always ask for prayers on her behalf during prayer time in class. He further explained that his family was going through extreme financial difficulties. His family always had problems paying the bills and providing food since there were many of them; he was one of eleven children. Members in our class got up, one by one, and surrounded him after he announced his request to us. We laid hands on him. Someone volunteered to lead a prayer for Michael and his family.
Before I could announce the next homework assignment, I witnessed something truly miraculous. A student pulled out his hat and passed it around. Many of them began placing money into the cap. Bills were overflowing in our makeshift collection plate. Throughout the semester, we kept exploring literature from those outside the margins of society, those who were poor, those who were mistreated, and those who were ignored. I think they remembered our discussions of Christ calling us to a radical ministry. That day in class I walked away convicted. I walked away thinking and believing that my class learned the most important lesson that day. They were putting their learning into action.
What I enjoy most about teaching at Abilene Christian University is the phenomenal and incredible opportunity of integrating faith and learning in our classrooms; this is what truly makes us a distinctive and an unparalleled university. This is a major reason why I came to work here. I love challenging my students to think critically on a multitude of levels. I love walking into the classroom asking them to critique a poem through the eyes of a Marxist critic. I love challenging them to reconsider the interpretation of a short story through a feminist perspective. I love challenging my students to flip the novel upside down or to spin it around in another direction, revealing a new way of viewing the literary work. While utilizing these critical perspectives and many more, we become scholars who are passionate about asking questions and investigating issues. We are people who love education.
And then I love walking into room with another task for them, inviting them to consider a spiritual reading of a text. I enjoy asking these questions and many more in order to get them to dissect the literature with a different set of tools in our literary lab: "How would a Christian scholar interpret this text? What would a Christian scholar take into consideration? How should a Christian scholar approach some of these social issues lurking along the margins of the text?" We have exciting and deep conversations whenever we travel into the spiritual arena in my class.
In order to bring all of our spiritual interludes throughout the semester into full fruition, I have students participate in a special "Secret Brother and Sister Day." Near the end of the semester, I pass around a bowl with names on slips of paper. Each student is instructed to draw a name. Once the last student draws, I explain that they must purchase an inexpensive yet meaningful gift for their secret brother or sister. Then they have to purchase a card and write an encouraging note and a blessing. On the day of our special event, students come to class with wrapped gifts; it is almost like Christmas time, and there is wonderful excitement in the air. Like eager children, they are opening the gifts and exchanging hugs; the air is filled with laughter, and dozens of "thank you" messages are ringing throughout the classroom.
Then I share with them the core message of our university. I share with them the charge for all us to live as radical Christians in this world, giving surprise gifts and blessings to people they do not know or to people who are hurting. "Imagine working for a company where you have the opportunity of giving gifts to those who have no hope for a better tomorrow," I say. "Imagine giving gifts to the poor and the sick. Imagine living your life as a radical gift for Jesus."
What I love about teaching at ACU is that I find colleagues and professors who truly love their students. We love our students so much that we are not only trying to bring a passionate love for them into our classrooms but we are meeting them in their residence halls and in coffee houses, we are inviting them into our homes, and we are sharing meals with them at a restaurant; it is a type of love that tells them that we will never stop loving them even after they walk across that stage to receive their diplomas. I am still in contact with many of my students who are public school teachers, college professors, lawyers, doctors, missionaries, business leaders, and many other professionals. They call or meet with me to talk about challenges or problems in their personal lives and careers; they call or meet in person to pray. I do not see them as "students" but as my brothers and sisters who are trying to deeply love in this world.
When we merge faith and learning in our classrooms, we have a love that challenges our students to radically love just like Christ; it is a radical love that moves us to passionately seek justice for those near and far in bondage; it is a radical love that motives us to demolish walls and barriers that prevent us from being in rich community with all people. bell hooks beautifully captures what I strive to do each day in and outside of the classroom:
While I approach every teaching experience with a great spirit of love, a relationship of love often flourishes between a particular student and myself, and that abides through time. Students I love most intimately never seem to leave my life. As they grow and become teachers or enter professions, they still call on me to teach, guide, and direct them. That our teaching relationship formed and shaped by love extends beyond our time in the classroom is an affirmation of love's power. When I asked one of my students, now a law professor, if my love of her created a climate of favoritism in the classroom, she laughed stating: "Are you kidding? The more you loved us, the harder we had to work." There can be no love without justice. Love in the classroom prepares teachers and students to open our minds and hearts. It is the foundation on which every learning community can be created. Teachers need not fear that practicing love in the classroom will lead to favoritism. Love will always move us away from domination in all its forms. Love will always challenge and change us. That is the heart of the matter. (136-137)

Do you freakin dopes realize the inventory at M block and Sons is GMCR's inventory? M block is a fullfillment house, not really the customer..GMCR can't ship stuff to m block and recognize revenue...they don't recognize revenue until it leaves the docks at M bock to the leading retailers in the nation like BBBY and most major departments stores.
As anyone has seen over the past 3 years, the scope of business and inventory at BBBY has grown dramatically. so to does the inventory to support this. BBBY is not growing this presence and invenory bet becasue the product doesn't sell but because they can't keep it stock due to such strong sell through.
until you see k cups and brewers at TJ Max or a close out liquidator...or at a massive Florida flea market you can like rest assured their is not a bunch of excess inentory out there.
The products are flying out the door in bulk sales to MBlock (wholesaler/distributor) then being sold/shipped to individual retail stores. Who cares about the few pennies on the few days worth of A/R or Inventory in the bigger picture. GMCR/Keurig is a disruptive game changer in the coffee world. Are people starting to quit drinking coffee? Or change back to percolators, presses and drip pots? I think even a caveman can figure this one out.
Nukes- perhaps you are right and perhaps you are wrong.
Awhile ago I discussed a different industry that I am famiiar with.
The beverage alcohol industry. Here the importers\distillers ship to their wholesales\distributors and are paid at that point. The Wholesalers in turn sell to the trade and collect their money. This has gone on since prohibition.
I imagine other industries might or might not follow suit.
I am not in anyway saying you are wrong, you are probaly right. However I have been a shareholder since 2007 and never have I seen this topic addressed.
Perhaps I missed something either from the company or from the very well inmformed posters who do much research on this board.
Again nit arguing with you but can you show me something that indicates how this is handled by GMCR other than opinions?
Enlighten me!
well, M block and sons is a fullfillment house.. been around a lot of years...instead of building self distribution...many companeis that make kitchen electrics use fullfillment houses for two readons 1) the business is highly seasonal (christmas) 2) it makes no sense to build your own distribution centers for very small shipments to thousands of retailer dors...best to use a company that can aggregate many many orders one truck for various retailers... The bigger GMCR's grocery business gets or Wal Marts they will use mroe of the traditional grocery store distributors whose accounting is without a doubt settle science...like you mention in the adult beverage business. As I have said before...a lot of big box business for M block and GMCR is highly seasonal large orders for holiday. I think the sec is seeing if orders from retailers match up with GMCR crossing sales trades to M block onto the retailer...as the sec gets a better understanding of who the end customers are (big well known retailers) who are clearly selling the product and payment can reasonably assured (ie bbby certainly pays their bills) the SEC will likely have no more questions and move along.
once again I want to reiterate that it's the sell through data at retail and our obvious observations of how much hte product has grown at the retaielers over the past 3 years that should given everyone comfort here that this inquisition will at some point pass ...we just don't know when...and it is not out of the question the SEC will knee cap them one more time...with some change required or extra disclosures but if that were too happen ....the stock would get whalloped but it woiuld likeely be the Mother of all buying oppoertunities....and if it doesn't happen the stock is $50-60 in 12-18 months...
nuke ur kooky better chance with romance or booky spooky ; been watering down the coffee green tea better than this reef; better get another dime these bell don't chime or rhyme.
accounting escapes thee drink more passion tea get ride of those fees biting at you eagerly make you beggarly.
1) Syntax-Brillian had millions of TVs in many retail outlets and they declared bankruptcy, so the fact there is a large inventory STORED in warehouses means squat
2) M Block carries inventory for any number of organizations at least half a dozen prolly many more than that
3)If its in a warehouse its not being bought by retail consumers.
You read like the Kool-Aid crowd that refused to accept Syntax-Brilians fate, even after declaring bankruptcy they swore all would be well.
Well, Green Mountain has a multitude of class actions to satisfy due to their admitting accounting irregularities, millions to settle that and an SEC investigation that appears to lingering on quite a while is sure to instill confidence.
A balance sheet with $600MM of NOTHING BUT AIR and revenue tht will have to be restated.
This stock is suited for freakin DOPES like you.
sytax brillian had no sell through at retail...nobody bought the product. leading to a cash crunch...leads to chapter 11...GMCR has massive sell through at retail...do you get out and see the stores?....
all the pieces in the field are there for longs and shorts to figure this out...go to stores...talk to people..see the product selling...missing items on the shelf as inventory is taken to check out and paid for....then on a pro level seeing IRI and NPD data from scanners at check outs... growth mostly 55 to 100% every month this year.. this is un deniable truth that shorts must confess BLOWS their thesis out of the water...then most just fall back on "It's and expensive stock"....but for razor razor blades business...its really really cheap..sorry once again, especially if you look out just one year
Is The Lavazza family been dupped? the Former coke CEO on the board been dupped? Has the Folgers people been sucked ito a fraud? are the worlds biggest retailers sucked into a scam....one has to believe that lots of smart people accross many levels of many organizations are fools...for the shorts to get his right
I have the product in my house and my office...I can attest that their is at least one real customer in the world.
For one to believe this is not a really solid company the lesson will be painful over time....There could be one more out of left field letter from the SEC...because they got an axe to grind and gotta get somethign to save face...but this is the most successful product launch in consumer land since the orignal Mr. Coffee and still...many think its a joke...but not proven right thus far and to get back to even on the short side...it has to be a scam.....investing pride is killing many shorts ( I am too smart to get his wrong!!)...admit you either are wrong and haven't done the work or you are sticking to your hail mary thesis that the SEC will save your pride and your short position.
my advice..understand what IRI and NPD is 2) go to stores 3) try the product 4) looke at what other companies in coffee have for margins 5) ask your self what is the probability coffee is a bad business to be in?
Actually, as fas I know GMCR does invoice MBlock on shipment to their premises. Here is a quote from Vermont Biz -
"focused on the relationship between Green Mountain and its fulfillment vendors, including M Block & Sons Inc. (which accounted for 51 percent of the accounts receivable last year)"
In order for there to be receivables, they have to invoice.
The main question as I understand it may deal with inventory invoiced but not shipped to MBlock. Apparently this is OK if requested by MBlock because of their inability to store the
product on their premises. If not requested by MBlock, it is regarded as "pumping sales".
difference between paperwork/invoices/ and recognizing revenue. of course there should be some record of receiving the merchandise from GMCR from an internal control standpoint. but is clear that the most conservative way to recognize revenue is to only do it when it leaves the m block docks for BBBY and others...WHICH IS Exactly what the proecedure is...and once again...what are the odds that all the other manufacturers who use m block AND their auditors would be using wildly different techniques to recognize revenue...probability is ZERO.
the ideas that GMCR, its auditors, and the SEC thus far would allow a company to ship to a black hole weaerhouse inventory and declare it revenue is utterly preposterous......every company in the WORLD would use M block to "make the quarter" and MBLOCK would have to have MULTI TRILLION DOllar bank line to buy this inventory and hold it on their shelves...ONLY A FOOL would believe this is the truth...but that is what many posters on this boarad believe and many shorts (hedge fund run by smart people)
GMCR has not even had a down month in the market since this SEC letter was known. imagine how frustrating it must be that the shorts that momemtum shorted this on the break are now all underwaters again.

Pope Francis had a smashingly successful first foreign visit to Rio for World Youth Day. Sadly, most of the world missed it. Even worse — it was largely the Church's own fault.
It's called stepping on your own story, and it has been a big problem this year. It started with the shoes. You remember all the press attention paid back in March to what shoes Pope Francis would wear? It was not just a harmless irrelevance. An ironclad rule of communications is that you can only write/broadcast/blog about one thing at a time. So if you are talking about the papal shoes, you cannot at the same time be talking about what it means to wear the shoes of the fisherman. If there are relevant matters...READ MORE

These run a little small, and they are pretty stiff. They are definitely warm and have good traction though. Overall, I'm satisfied as they kept my feet warm and dry and I didn't have any probably navigating snow and ice.

I ordered a full size up but they were still too small with thin socks. Also they were so bulky, my Arcteryx Spotter pants could not fit around them for a natural fall. Warm boots though
Best Uses
Comments about The North Face Chilkat II - Men's:
Received these boots as a gift for my birthday. My wife did some research and luckily got one size larger than my normal shoe size as these do run small because of the padding. They keep my feet nice and warm especially in this -20 to -30 degree weather we have been experiencing in our area this year. I would recommend them to anyone needing boots for snow blowing or outdoor recreations.

This charming East Street historical bungalow offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms and is within walking distance (5 blocks) of beautiful downtown Golden. Located at the foot of the famous mesa with views of mountains all around and open space trailhead that leads up the famous Castle Rock (you can do it!) just 5 blocks away. The back deck is the perfect place for an afternoon grill after an afternoon playing in the creek, taking a tour of Coors Brewery or a leisurely stroll through the quaint shops of Golden. Close enough to Downtown Denver and Boulder to enjoy the sights, but far enough away to offer escape into nearby Golden Gate State Park. Golden, Colorado - Where the West lives!
When I made the decision to move 'down the hill' from Evergreen, after 35 years, I looked at many cool locations around Denver before deciding on Golden. It's artistic, clean, safe and geographically separated from the rest of the city by the mountains, mesas and creek that define its borders. The East Street historic district is filled with families walking their children and dogs, bicyclists riding by, beautiful sky and views. Occasionally you can smell the hops from Coors brewery. Always, there is fun in Golden, whether its the arts festival, music in the parks or bars, or the car show. Come see!
This Arts & Crafts bungalow built in 1890 comes with a long front porch with a swing, a table perfect for breakfast and shaded by an ancient silver maple. It features a deck off the updated and fully equipped kitchen - with a gas grill on the deck. The yard is fenced, with gardens all around. Depending when you are there, you are welcome to forage for strawberries or rasberries from the garden, grapes from the vine or pick peaches and cherries off the trees. It's in a sweet neighborhood and close enough to walk to town for dinner and drinks or for an early morning walk to the top of the mesa. There is an upstairs bedroom (queen bed) with a bath and shower. The second bedroom is downstairs (walkout basement - think old house) but completely remodeled with an amazing bath featuring a deep soaking tub. You'll love the location and the home! Well behaved pets are welcome with permission.
The awesome bungalow was exactly what we needed. We stayed from June 10th to June 17th, 2016. Two of our children live in the area, and we traveled from WI with our dog to visit. The house was perfect! The kitchen is more stocked than my kitchen at home. Absolutely everything you need for cooking is there. Spent most of our time in the beautiful back yard. It is fenced (perfect for the dog), large (played lawn games) and has a wonderful deck and table for eating our meals. Strawberry's were ripe and we enjoyed them. Views of table top mountain out the back! There are speakers on the deck so we could enjoy music while we visited on the deck. I can't recommend this bungalow enough!
From the moment we drove up and saw the huge shaded front porch with comfortable seating, I knew this was going to be the perfect place to stay in Golden for the week of my son's wedding. But as we walked through the property it just kept getting better. It was immaculately clean, but far from sterile. After the first 3 days we were still discovering amazing art in every room and nook and cranny. There are two spacious living areas and a dining room upstairs, in addition to the most well-equipped kitchen I have ever seen that has not only the practical things like pots and pans, but gorgeous serving dishes, and a perfectly stocked pantry. Oven and refrigerator are new and top of the line. And then there is the back deck overlooking lush gardens. Our two pups had such a wonderful time exploring the yard while we sat on the benches keeping an eye on them. We stayed upstairs in a very comfortable bed, while my sister and her husband had the entire downstairs to themselves with two more living areas and a huge remodeled bathroom. We had invited all of the guests in town for the wedding to stop by and say hello. At one point 40 people were able to be there at the same time comfortably chatting and enjoying a buffet on the deck and seamlessly transfer indoors when a brief shower occurred. All in all, 5 stars are no where near enough. We are so thankful to Vista for sharing this lovely home with us and we are hoping to make a return visit in the future.
We could not have been happier with our stay. The cottage is in a quiet neighborhood at the edge of town with Castle Rock looming just blocks away.
Easy walk to grocery and main street shops and restaurants. The chilled bottle of wine in the fridge helped erase the trials of a long travel day complicated with airline delays. And seeing the coffee supplies for the next morning saved a late night run to the store. The furnishings and interesting artwork throughout the cottage made the stay very pleasant. Breakfast on the back deck in the morning sun. Being pet friendly was a real plus for us - our daughter lives in Denver and was able to visit with her dogs adding to all our enjoyment. We will definitely try to stay here again!
This property was perfect for our family getaway. Vista was more than accommodating to our needs (traveling with 3 kids under 5). The backyard is great- and the basement was much bigger than I anticipated. The house is beautiful, full of awesome old features. Would stay again next time in Golden!
My wife and I spent a long weekend with close friends in Golden and this property was the unexpected treat of our trip. Throughout the entire weekend we kept on stating "what a great house". The owner was very accommodating, beds were comfortable as well as the furniture in the living areas. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, knives, kitchen tools, coffee maker, spices, etc. The property has a rich garden with herbs, strawberries, raspberries, as well as other vegetables and flowers on the side yard; the owner encouraged us to take advantage of the garden - we did. Fresh raspberries to accompany our breakfast.. We spent lots of time on the back deck as well as the front porch enjoying the yard and the views. The 4 topper table on the front porch served as our breakfast dining area with great views of the front range. EZ walk to historic downtown and terrific restaurants just blocks away. WIFI worked well for all of our devices. During our stay we had multiple trips to dowtown Denver, just a 20 minute drive in moderate traffic, as well as easy access to the mountains with I70 just a few miles away. The house is located 7.5 miles away from the upper south parking lot at Red Rocks. Grocery shopping at Safeway is less than two blocks, with a starbucks next to Safeway if you haven't had your morning coffee. Will definitely stay at this property next time in the Denver area with another couple - awesome location for going to concerts at Red Rocks.
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed everything about our stay. House is much bigger than it appears, great for family. We were there for a basketball clinic at CSOM, so convenient to the university. Great neighborhood that was quiet, but very close to grocery store and restaurants. This will be the first place we look to stay when we return next year. The owner was easy to work with, place was clean with everything we could ask for.

PADRES: Kuroda knocks Padres back to second place
Padres, fall back to second after loss to Kuroda, Dodgers
LOS ANGELES -- Hiroki Kuroda wasn't going to allow the Padres to end this critical 10-game road trip on a positive note.
The Los Angeles Dodgers starter instead took back some of the momentum the Padres' offense had gained while on the road, shutting them down for eight innings in a 3-1 victory at Dodger Stadium on Thursday night. The effort not only kept the Padres from winning six of 10 on their trip, it also dropped them a half game behind both the San Francisco Giants -- a 13-0 winner over the Chicago Cubs -- in the National League West and the idle Atlanta Braves in the wild-card race.
After scoring nine runs in winning the first two games of this series and coming up with several clutch hits, the Padres reached base only six times against Kuroda (11-13) and Hong-Chih Kuo, who pitched a scoreless ninth inning.
Mat Latos (14-8) took the loss.
"There definitely needs to be a sense of urgency offensively like there was the first two games of the series," said center fielder Tony Gwynn Jr., who made his first start since Aug. 18. "Not that there wasn't today, but Kuroda pitched a good game. He was in and out, threw a lot of strikes, mixed his pitches up very well. But at the end of the day our offense needs to have a sense of urgency, and in my mind we will."
Until they ran into Kuroda, Padres hitters had seemed to find their stroke while they were on the road.
The team hit .278 and scored 4.6 runs per game in the first nine days of what could have been a perilous trip that took them to Denver, St. Louis and Los Angeles.
Ryan Ludwick -- who grounded into an inning-ending double play in the top of the first against Kuroda -- finished the trip 11-for-34 with nine RBIs. Will Venable, who singled three times and scored the Padres' only run, was 15-for-31 on the trip.
But Kuroda took all that away as he effectively mixed three pitches.
The Padres scored once on Miguel Tejada's RBI grounder in the first inning to take a 1-0 lead. They never came close to mounting another threat.
"We didn't have a lot of good swings," manager Bud Black said. "(Kuroda) choked off a lot of swings."
Latos improved drastically over his past two starts, when he allowed 13 runs in 5 1/3 innings against San Francisco and St. Louis. He said the key to minimizing his mistakes was keeping the ball down in the strike zone and pitching aggressively.
"I know what I need to do," Latos said. "I've got to continue to be aggressive -- that's something I haven't been doing."
The right-hander, who has won only once in seven starts since Aug. 19, gave back the lead in the bottom of the first inning when he left a curveball on the inner half of the plate and Andre Ethier doubled just inside the right-field line to drive in a run. Two innings later, Ethier singled in Furcal again to make it 2-1.
Latos then retired seven of eight hitters but exited after walking Ethier and allowing a double to Jay Gibbons to start the sixth inning.
"He hung in there," Black said. "Our staff just got outpitched by Kuroda and Kuo.
"(Latos) has pitched so brilliantly that when he has a game like this it sort of seems out of the ordinary, which is unfair."
Black replaced Latos with rookie Ernesto Frieri, who loaded the bases with a one-out intentional walk after striking out Matt Kemp. Frieri then retired Casey Blake on a pop up and was one strike away from escaping the jam unscathed, but he walked Rod Barajas to force in a run to give the Dodgers a 3-1 lead.

Original article URL: http://bridgemi.com/2012/05/feds-leave-small-harbors-dredging-for-cash/
31 May 2012
It's taking plenty of $100 checks and some larger amounts, fundraisers and perseverance.
But with a big slice of their economic future at stake, members of the small waterfront community of Pentwater are banding together to pay for something Washington, D.C., no longer does: Dredging of the sandbar that annually accumulates and chokes off the mouth of a channel between Pentwater Lake and Lake Michigan.
Meanwhile, a federal fund that collects taxes paid by shippers to cover operation and maintenance of navigation channels continues to grow. The Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund has been spending each year only about half of the roughly $1.5 billion it annually takes in, and, by some estimates, is expected this fiscal year to grow from nearly $6.3 billion to $7 billion. (Pentwater needed about $45,000 to ensure channel access to a minimum depth of 10 feet.)
Pentwater's channel provides access for sailboats, charter fishing and power boats that enter the harbor each boating season, bringing visitors that eat in restaurants, shop and patronize marinas at the west Michigan village whose population of 1,000 winter residents swells to at least 5,000 in the summer.
"It's one of the roads into Pentwater. It just happens to be by water," said Pentwater Village President Juanita Pierman. "We've referred to the channel, and Lake Michigan, as our industrial park. We have no other industry, other than one manufacturing company. The lake is our industrial park."
Pentwater and other harbor communities around Michigan and the Great Lakes are dealing with a federal cash crunch. No federal funds are being allocated to dredge recreational harbors traditionally dredged by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and nearly all smaller commercial harbors handling less than 1 million tons annually are similarly unfunded for dredging needs.
It is the second fiscal year that there have been no federal appropriations to the Army Corps to dredge recreational harbors, and even when there was money in 2010, it came through "earmarks" or congressional add-ons that Washington politicians now have disavowed.
It might seem there's enough money in the harbor fund to cover more dredging for smaller harbors, but many familiar with the issue say the harbor fund's reserve is a paper balance, absorbed into the federal budgetary process and used to offset other spending priorities.
"Harbors have been on I.V. drip … and the drip basically has been earmarks," said Chuck May of the Great Lakes Small Harbors Coalition, a group formed in 2008 to advocate for recreational and commercial Great Lakes harbors. "Therefore, we've advocated from day one on a process that's equitable, needs-based and sustainable. From now on, you spend $1.5 billion on its intended purpose, the harbors."
Bills introduced by U.S. Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., and U.S. Rep. Charles Boustany, R-La., would require the total amount available for annual spending by the trust fund to be equal to trust fund tax receipts, plus interest. Similar language has been incorporated in federal transportation budget reauthorization bills that are pending in a House-Senate conference committee and will be negotiated.
But that budget legislation isn't likely to be acted on immediately. And with no federal resources appearing anytime soon for dredging, communities are worried, said Patty Birkholz, director of the Michigan Office of the Great Lakes.
"Tourism is a huge part of our economic engine in this state … (and) part of tourism dollars are generated by recreational boaters. If they can't get into the harbor, or if there hasn't been dredging or they're concerned that they might get stuck, then they're not coming in."
The Army Corps has a list of 15 recreational harbors in the Great Lakes, including six in Michigan, that could pose concern to recreational boaters. The list is based on the Corps' review of recent surveys of conditions and known sediment deposit rates and while conditions can change rapidly, harbors on the list are generally in the four-foot-or-less range.
An additional 30 recreational harbors on the Great Lakes will need dredging by 2013, according to the Corps.
Marie Strum, assistant chief of engineering and technical services in the Corps' Detroit district office, said it's important for boaters to check the latest condition surveys on the Corps' website and to call local harbor masters to check conditions.
The dredging needs of Michigan's recreational harbors are estimated at about $5 million annually. May, of the Great Lakes Small Harbors Coalition, said that around the Great Lakes, $10 million annually is needed to dredge low-use commercial harbors and $10 million to dredge recreational harbors.
The Corps does not disagree with the figures, but says it can only spend what's authorized by Congress. And Washington funding priorities have been directed at supporting commercial navigation.
"We have a federal responsibility to maintain these harbors and channels, and we have to make very difficult decisions on applying the funds to the most critical needs," Strum said. "We are in a constrained funding environment, in the lakes as well as nationwide, and that money can only be spread so far. And that leaves us with many unmet needs out there."
Concern over the issue includes recreational business interests like the Livonia-based Michigan Boating Industries Association, which supports the harbor coalition's efforts. "Michigan's harbors act as the gateway to the Great Lakes to more than 4 million boaters," said Nicki Polan, communications director, in an email to the Bridge.
"Additionally, harbors provide economic stimulus to communities, and perform other valuable functions such as ports of refuge during inclement weather, ports for U.S. Coast Guard rescue stations, ports for law enforcement, ports for commercial fleets, ports for Great Lakes research vessels, and ferry terminals."
Polan said if harbors are not maintained, that limits access to the water and "impacts boat sales, marina occupancy, party store and fuel sales."
Pentwater felt the economic ripples of the dredging problem last fall, when some sailboat owners did not store their boats for the winter at a local marina as usual, instead sailing them other harbors over worries they would not be able to get out of Pentwater this spring, Pierman said.
Now, through the combined efforts of the village putting in $16,000 and a community group that's so far raised $29,000 in private funds, Pentwater has $45,000 to pay a contractor to dredge to a minimum 10-foot depth.
"And we are hopeful that more contributions will come in, and I think they will, so that we can get to the $60,000 that will dredge to the 12-foot level," Pierman said.
But it won't happen every year, she warned.
"This is a one-time shot," Pierman said. "The village just does not have the resources to do this on an annual basis. And we cannot go back every year and ask the community to do this. The resources just are not there."
Sentiment is similar up the coast in Leland, whose harbor had not had the annual dredging it needs since 2009.
With the situation growing critical, the community started raising funds in January. So far, it has pulled together or has near-commitments for about $88,000, including $25,000 from harbor operations and additional contributions from the business, tribal fishing and charter fishing community, among others, said harbor master Russell Dzuba.
Dredging began in mid-May and is expected to be done in early June.
"The reality is, there's a little bit of angst involved in this," Dzuba said. "The town grew up around the harbor, looks at the harbor as an economic engine. While the legislature fiddles in Rome, these little towns are falling out the wayside.
"I guarantee that if I go to those same people next year, I'm not going to get the same kind of money I got this year. At some point, something's got to give."
In the office of U.S. Rep. Bill Huizenga, R-Zeeland, whose district spans more than 200 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline, communications director Brian Patrick said the dredging dilemma is "an incredible concern."
Huizenga believes there is adequate money in the trust fund to cover the needs of recreational and commercial harbors, Patrick added, and that Huizenga supports the House transportation reauthorization bill language, which is the stronger version, to ensure "every dollar in" the trust fund flows back out, Patrick said.
Felicia Fairchild, executive director of the Saugatuck-Douglas Convention & Visitors Bureau, said she hopes the legislation comes out with language specifying that recreational harbor dredging needs would be included in the funding distribution.
The community has both a harbor that is silting in and that is the community's responsibility to dredge, and a federally authorized channel that has been under Army Corps' jurisdiction, but, as a recreational channel, is no longer being dredged by the Corps, she said.
In fall 2011, Saugatuck and Douglas formed a new harbor authority to use tax increment financing to provide money to support ongoing maintenance and dredging – an effort that is focused on the harbor and not the channel, Fairchild said. A full harbor dredging, she added, would require about $40 million. She said the initiative is still in its formative stages, but the goal is to "find a way to sustain our harbor on an ongoing basis." And, she said, "I am still hopeful that we can at least keep our federal channels open."
Without the harbor dredging, a 138-passenger cruise ship, the Yorktown, is scheduled to make at least a dozen visits to the Saugatuck harbor this summer by stopping and turning at one of the harbor's deeper points.

Creating a human being and creating a social venture have a lot in common: unexpected challenges, incremental growth, and the immense satisfaction of making something out of thin air. Not only do both endeavors involve a tremendous amount of change, but it's the kind of change that makes you realize your life will always be different from the way it was before.
