The issue isn't finding cool goings-on, it's paring down the options. You've got the Indianapolis 500 as the headline attraction for the motorsports-obsessed, beaches and pools are opening up, car shows (or just random Woodward Avenue cruising if you're here in Metro Detroit), and millions of backyard barbecues, only problem is getting there. With prices for 87 octane hovering between $3.85 and $4.25 across the nation this weekend, the sting to the pocketbook will be probably be even higher as everybody gouges you weekend travel warriors. So how about a list of seven smart and easy ways to save some scratch this weekend? Sounds like a plan — the seven best ideas after the jump. Advertisement 7) Don't Drive This is the tip we obviously advocate the least, so of course we're dropping it to the bottom of the list — but it's also at the top of the post. Maybe that's because driving is the worst way to save on gas, so the easiest way to avoid paying big oil is to stay home. Of course that can be a tall order, so you can at least try to stay more local and enjoy the delights of your hometown. Heck, why not just throw a last minute barbeque and make all your friends come to you? Advertisement 6) Clean all that crap out of your car Keeping your JV football gear in the trunk doesn't make much sense now that you're 34. Clean your car, ya hobo! While holding on to all those cheeseburger wrappers and empty pop bottles might seem like a good idea, keeping them in the car is not. "Weight is the enemy of performance" as Colin Chapman used to say, it's also the enemy of boosting your anemic gas mileage. Those SUV's are big for a reason — they carry a crapload of crap. So if you're planning a trip, clean the junk out.5) Air up those tires Friction between the tires and the road are a healthy source of overall energy loss. The more contact between the tire and the road the more friction. Making sure tires are at the maximum recommended pressure is a good way to see easy improvements in both fuel economy and ride and handling. Advertisement Sponsored 4) Keep your car well maintained Oil in the pan going on 10,000 miles? Wheel bearings all wobbly? Power steering pump groaning under the weight of an uncaring owner? These are all things which are not only dentrimental for the car but also have a negative impact on mileage. If you're mechanically-inclined, get down to your local parts depot and get to wrenching. If you're not, slide on over to your favorite grease monkey and let him fix it for you. Your car will love you for it. Advertisement 3) Avoid high traffic areas Idling wastes vast quantities of fuel every year, and running at low speeds in bumper to bumper traffic is just as bad. So if you have the choice, plan your travel times and routes to correspond to times when the roadway is free and clear of the destraction and fuel-wasting of others. Deciding to make the run out to the country from downtown at 4:30 in the afternoon is a sure fire way to waste a quarter tank.2) Law of conservation of energy My favorite pastime is getting into a huge SUV and racing all the other cars to the next stoplight. What can I say, I'm an idiot. If this sounds like you, congrats because you get terrible fuel economy. Try to work with — instead of against — stop lights. Most of the time lights are timed to match posted speed limits and if you work things right, you may never have to use your brakes. Brakes of course being the easiest way to transform the power derived from gasoline into heat, which, generally doesn't do any good for you. More importantly however will be the gas burned getting yourself back up to 75 MPH. What do you mean the speed limit on Woodward's only 45 MPH near 13 Mile? Advertisement Advertisement 1) Slow down, you maniac Here's a better idea to those of us who are of obsessed with the cult of cars than tip #7, because at least you'll be driving. That shiny new car of yours may be fast as all get out, but mashing the gas and doing 80 MPH on the freeway will ensure cars are the only thing you're passing. Going posted speeds or below is boring and tiresome, but it pays dividends on the fuel mileage side. You know this and we know this, neither of us have to like it.You should also check out Popular Mechanics top ten ways to save gas by hypermilling if you're looking for more tips — you know we're fans of that particular game. But above all, have a safe and enjoyable weekend everyone. Reply99 repliesLeave a reply

I urged you all to read Melinda Selmys's series on "making Lent hardcore," but I hinted that I had various caveats or places where I wanted to stick my own oar in. You guys know that my whole shtik is that there's no one best way, no Esperanto of the spiritual life.

What images come to mind when you think of peace?
Some local middle school students had to think about that recently, and now their vision is on display in Kingsville.
Middle school students from the Santa Gertrudis School in Kingsville and from the Riviera Independent School District took part in an International Peace Poster Contest.
"For example, one of the posters has two guns, and that's pretty powerful," said Brenda Canizalez, museum educator at John E. Conner Museum. "Two guns. But what's coming out of them, the guns, are roses. Flowers. And so that's someone's expression of peace, you know. Instead of shooting bullets, let's plant flowers, or shoot flowers."
The peace posters are on display at the John E. Conner Museum on the campus of Texas A&M University-Kingsville. The contest is sponsored by the Lions Club, an international service organization. Students from around the globe participate, but the posters in this exhibit are all local entries.
The theme this year is "Our world, our future." Students were asked to illustrate what peace means to them.
"You can get a lot from children," Canizalez said. "Children are quite profound if we listen to them. They are. And you can see it through their expression, artistic expression, on the posters. There's a lot to take away. We can learn a lot from children."
It's an annual contest, and local students of Kingsville and Riviera were competing against some 350,000 artists worldwide. Those participating were asked to illustrate what peace means to them using any variety of two-dimensional art media, including charcoal, crayon, pencil or paint. Because it is an international contest, no wording was allowed on the front of the poster.
The museum is open from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday. Admission to the museum and the exhibit is free, and the exhibit will be on display through March 22.

Quote:As long as the supplier offers a Warranty. But those swords look pretty damn fresh.
Quote:Here's some Swedish Powered Steel discussion.
Quote:With all due respect, V34, why do several times more work with inferior materials to get an inferior result? Blades made from tamahagne steel are more fragile, not as hard, and not as tough as those that can be made from other steels. Tradition isn't the only factor that exists, and to many people, it isn't the most important.
Quote:A non traditionally made Japanese blade would be superior for a beginner in cutting. Starting your cutting career with a 10,000 dollar nihonto is just asking for a wrecked blade.
Quote:And in that same sense, a bottom of the barrel chinese made katana that costs $300 US would be superior for a beginner in cutting. But it's in no way superior to a traditionally made blade used for traditional reasons.
Quote:I'm not so sure I would go as far as saying the practical katana is dangerous.
Quote:If it was dangerous then no serious dojo would ever allow one to be used for anything, but this is not the case.
Quote:In addition, if I'm not mistaken, the same blade is used in a number of Paul Chen katana.
Quote:No, buying a katana that costs less than 1,000$ is not going to kill you, as long as you use it responsibly.
Quote:Despite what some people would like you to believe, owning an expensive blade does not mean much. A lot of people with bugei swords want to feel superior and advertise the hell out of those katana. I'm sure the same foundry that makes the cheap Paul Chen blades is making the Bugei blades, just a different process of doing it.
Quote:I have seen more than one extremely dangerous bugei sword that slipped through the QC cracks. I'm talking about swords where there are big gaps in the hamon, internal rust spots, etc.. I don't think the musashi is a bugei blade but nevertheless there was a fellow who posted pictures of a blade he was using which broke in half on a hard target due to internal rusting. That kind of thing could've been spotted by a careful eye at the retail level.
Quote:Again, an assertion without an explanation, what a surprise. It is easy to say how my reasoning is wrong, hard to explain it. Your right, you are lazy, your words, not mine, but they are true it would seem. Don't ask of others what you can not do yourself
Quote:vague, I don't address vague
Quote:where is your addressing each and everything I said, you pick and choose what you wish to address, and don't address the rest
Quote: But I am justifying my words, and I explain very well why I say what I say, and what it means. Your whole overly long post is merely a baiting method
Quote:And do not speak to what others should or should not think, this is you clearly trying to goad other forumites, who you know, to be in line with your line of thinking, how immature. Bye bye.
Quote:I do not know what points Charles addressed, but that was my complaint, and his vague disagreements with me either disagreeing too much, laughable, or the disagreement itself, are what this forum are
Quote:if your dumb enough to cut your hand, so be it
Quote:The duh factor applies here I think,
Quote: Reamining anonymous implies that I have something to hide? That is a circular argument of a paranoid soul.
Quote:You speak of the sword seller getting hurt, lol, you really are trying to discredit me aren't you, interesting, why I wonder, and why try so hard, hmm.
Quote: I don't know you sir, but it would be customary to introduce yourself first.

Last month, the Supreme Court declared unconstitutional the Defense of Marriage Act's requirement that only opposite-sex marriages may be recognized for federal law purposes. The Court's decision became effective July 21, 2013. As a result, the federal government must now recognize same-sex couples that are in "lawful marriages." The ruling did not affect the portion of the Defense of Marriage Act that allows states to define marriage as opposite-sex marriage and to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages entered into in other states.
The ruling's implications for benefit plans are broad, but uncertain. In using the term "lawful marriages," the Supreme Court did not address whether the federal government is required to recognize marriages validly entered into in states that recognize same-sex marriage by same-sex spouses who reside in states that do not recognize same-sex marriage or to treat civil unions or registered domestic partnerships as "lawful marriages" for federal purposes. The Court also did not address whether the ruling applies retroactively.
The ruling's effects on benefit plans will depend in large part on how the Internal Revenue Service and Department of Labor interpret the ruling. We do not recommend amending plans prior to the issuance of guidance. However, employers should review benefit plan documents as soon as possible to determine how their plans may be affected by the ruling. In particular, employers should review the definitions of "spouse" and "dependent" and other provisions affected by participants' marital status, including provisions that determine beneficiaries. Administrative changes are most likely to be necessary under plans that define "spouse" by reference to federal law or the law of a state that recognizes same-sex marriage.
We will keep you updated as guidance is issued.

This isn't a wonderful world
The three eco-docu-thrillers of the year
Indiscriminate slaughtering, tempting tastes of dubious origin. Three powerful documentaries reveal the real business behind what's on your plate. And the damage behind the dishes
"Nature is cruel,"
declares Temple Grandin, one of the first and most
influential leaders behind the humane treatment of animals
movement, who is also autistic and the author of several books on
the subject. These are words to keep in mind when introducing
The Cove, Food, Inc., and The End of the
Line - three documentary, eco-thrillers that bring not only
illuminating (and terrifying) facts, numbers and statistics to the
movie screen, but social awareness via social networks on the
internet, the most immediate and effective ways to shed light on
their causes. The Cove, by Louie
Psihoyos, which has won awards in more than forty
festivals, aims its lens on the systemic massacre of dolphins in
Taiji, the fishing village southwest of Tokyo. Equally disturbing,
Food, Inc. by Robert Kenner explores the
American industry of mass-produced food, which is run by
corporations whose interests are purely commercial and have little
to do with providing nourishment or caring for the environment.
Rupert Murray's The End of the Line
invites us to imagine a world without fish, which is not as sci-fi
as it sounds, sseing as we are pillaging the world's seas and
oceans without any restraint. All that's left for us to do, is
incite and insist upon change.
Roberta Valent, from Vogue Italia, April 2010 (n. 716), p. 52

As a customer of Edel-Optics, you are totally aware that eyewear can crown your style. This accessory makes you look very smart when you are out and about and convincing in the office and in your leisure time. The SA 0006 is available in the Edel-Optics online shop in other styles from Safilo collections 2015 and 2016.
Children's eyewear should also suit the wearer. The sturdy craftsmanship of these frames is convincing and their unique style makes children's eyes sparkle with joy. Eyewear is in. Full rim is extremely popular, because you feel that you get more eyeglass for your money. It is not just about their resilience, but also about the visibility of material and design, which are of the highest quality. Round eyeglasses are extremely prestigious. A fact John Lennon was aware of, being rarely seen without them. Harry Potter would also not be the same without his characteristic eyeglasses. Due to its shape the SA 0006 will be a long-time companion, because round eyeglasses never really go out of fashion. Plastic frames like these combine durability and are comfortable to wear. The SA 0006 is a very snug fit on the ears and nose. The colour blue is fresh and modern. Having the courage to choose such an exciting colour offers a new approach.
Moreover, we can also provide you with the correct prescription lenses at an incredibly low price. The only thing you need to provide us with are your current dioptre values determined by your ophthalmologist. Together with our digital dispensing optician, you can choose between reasonably priced brand lenses from Germany or premium brands such as Seiko, Hoya and Rodenstock. Edel-Optics' plastic lenses have many features such as anti-reflection coating, lotus effect, cleaning coating, antistatic and hard coating at no extra charge.
The next shipment is on its way, so we will have your Safilo back in stock very soon. We hope the unbelievably low price will be a consolation for the short wait. In our online shop we have consistently low prices. You won't get SA 0006 at such a low price, not even in the sale.

Thanks Donna,
I had assumed that might be the problem. Thanks, too, for the details. I
finally figured out how to eliminate the preview pane in Outlook Express
which allows me to delete a file without opening it. Today I deleted one
from an aol address I didn't recognize and had no subject. I mention this
because I know a few people who seem to prefer to never put anything in a
subject line. This may be fine for friends whose e-adrs you know, but I
still think it is friendlier to include something, no matter how simple,
that gives the recipient a clue. The item I deleted may have been from one
of our MGs, but I don't take a chance.
Also, I opened my Norton Anti-virus plan to run a full system scan today. I
figured it had been quite a while, but also since I have the instant update
every week, I thought I was pretty safe. Well, last time I did a full
system scan had been 501 days ago! It took 45 minutes to run it today and
found no viruses, but I feel better knowing I did it.

Lyric Vibes
Childhood in America has changed, and not for the better. From day care for babies, to the exhausting array of activities for children, to the storm of lurid and violent shows now deemed appropriate for the young, to the expectation that teenagers build resumes, childhood has been thoroughly redefined. Anne R. Pierce argues that this radical re-definition has been embraced with remarkably little discussion about what children, by nature, need.
Pierce submits that we have latched onto opinions about childrearing that are potentially harmful to children. If traditions are choices to be embraced or abandoned at our discretion, and adult self-fulfillment is a primary determinant in those choices, the fundamentals of the well-wrought childhood are easily forgotten. Steeped in intellectual permissiveness, we have convinced ourselves that parental substitutes are as good as parents themselves at caring for children, that the concepts of nurture and of the maternal are archaic and irrelevant, that more lessons and sports are better than less and that the earlier one embarks upon them the better, and that innocence and knowledge are less important than worldly attitudes and competitive skills.
Understanding and challenging the theories and agendas behind childrearing trends is a pressing need, and the subject of this book. Pierce takes an honest look at the evidence on the effects of daycare and of hyper-structuring children. She gives voice to the many intelligent and estimable educators, child-development experts, researchers, and social commentators who are ignored because their conclusions are hard to bear. Equally important, Pierce says, is attention to that inner tug of love and conscience, which many of us have been programmed to ignore.Modern American children are expected to adjust and to understand as adults would the complexities and vicissitudes of public as opposed to private life. For them, childhood is fast becoming a distant memory. Could it be that America's thrust forward leaves children without a solid foundation upon which to grow? This is the sobering question asked, and answered, in this challenging book.
"Anne R. Pierce" is an independent scholar with a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. She has published articles on social/political issues and foreign policy. She is the author of "Woodrow Wilson and Harry Truman: Mission and Power in American Foreign Policy," available from Transaction.

Advertisement As we sift through the rubble of last night's physical manifestation of life as a fan of The Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals, we would like to point out three things.1. The game set all kinds of records, most of which are documented here. Our favorite is the Buzzsaw becoming the first team to lose two games in a row after leading by 14 points after the first quarter.2. Dennis Green is obviously meat after this debacle, not that he wasn't in serious trouble anyway. After his postgame tirade, we'd like to suggest Joe Mikulik, who can at least draw out his screaming longer. 3. Poor Neil Rackers. It only makes sense that the Buzzsaw's one strength last season would be what would spring a leak this year. It's possible that last year was the aberration for Rackers; after all, he was terrible with the Bengals, was average at best before last season and has been lousy this year. Can kickers take steroids? They can, right? Because if they can, get back on 'em, Neil.

Receive personally tailored Trigonometry lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with in-home and online tutoring that offers flexible scheduling and your choice of locations.
How can a Trigonometry tutor help you?
Trigonometry, when boiled down to its most basic components, is about sides and angles. While that might sound straightforward, the illusion of simplicity disappears quickly once you get into the nuts and bolts of this mathematical subject. You'll need to understand sine, cosine, tangent, and do it all across four quadrants. Terms like triangle solving, trigonometric identities, congruency, and many others will need to become second nature if you're going to do well in your class. With so much information to process, it's a good idea to let Varsity Tutors find you a tutor in Attleboro, RI, who will strive to ensure you understand trigonometry by keeping you actively engaged in the educational process.
A private instructor can offer a more engaging experience because, unlike an after-school class or study group, he or she can tailor methodology, content, and pacing to your specific needs and preferences. If you're feeling somewhat lost, your tutor can run diagnostic assessment that will highlight your trouble spots and then design lessons to address them. Should you have a fairly good idea of where you want to begin, your instructor can use your input to drive your sessions. You'll spend as much of your time calculating inverse tangents as you want, and you'll be able to get real time answers to all of your questions while you do it. Our educational directors can find trigonometry tutors in Attleboro who will fully account for your preferences and thereby maximize your potential.
If you're at all worried about scheduling, you'll be pleased to know that there's no need to be concerned. The power to set times and locations for your study sessions will be completely in your hands. You won't have to rearrange your existing daily schedule at all, if you don't want to. You could ease your mind with the knowledge that a professional trigonometry tutor in Attleboro is available when you are. Are weekends at the library your optimal study time? If so, your tutor can meet you there to work on solving triangles by reflection. Do you like the comfort of your own home on weekday evenings? You and your instructor can cover interactive unit circles at your dining room table. If you need even more flexibility, you can use Varsity Tutors online live learning platform to study face-to-face with your tutor over the Internet.

Cyber Monday: Productivity Will Be Extra Low At Work, Lying To Your Boss Will Be Extra High (And Fun)
If you find your boss coming around your desk more than usual today, you should know why by now: Cyber Monday. If your supervisor has all of a sudden decided to push their already annoying micro-managing ways into record-breaking overdrive as if they're trying to win an invisible contest of being the most obsessive supervisor in the world, again, you'll know why: It's Cyber Monday!
If only companies would give Cyber Monday off to their employees (as most do for Black Friday) so people could focus on their online shopping without having to close about 10 different windows on their computers every time their boss approaches, that would be a very selfless act on business owners everywhere.
It's not fun (or is it?) to be forced to say things to your boss like "Oh, yes, the Johnny Cakes file is right here and I've totally been studying it all day," as you plant the palm of your hand over your computer scream as if covering up porn, when it's really just a sweater for your sister that you know she'll probably hate so you'll get it in the end. As we can see, Cyber Monday is a bit of conniving and deceit, too. But aren't most things in life?
Cyber Monday is that one day a year where all the little lies you've been telling your boss are finally used two fold, and you realize that although your job technically involves other responsiblities, you, after so many years being under the thumb of a tyrant, fully understand that fuck, yeah, you're a goddamn master at pulling the wool over your boss' eyes.
It's as though you've be studying and working on your techniques for years and every Cyber Monday, you finally get to see the benefits that come with devoting your life to being a liar in the workplace. You are not a kiss ass! You are a straight-up half-ass employee with lies to tell so you can stay out of trouble! And today is your day to shine.
Have you actually looked at the Johnny Cakes file at all today? Hell no. Do you even know who Johnny Cakes is? Not a clue. Had you gotten at least 90% of the gifts you had on your list by 1pm? Um, yeah! Why? Because you're a sneaky a little shit.
Unless you're shooting for a silly plaque on the wall that says you were Employee of the Week for a hot minute, then there's no sense in changing your ways now. And Cyber Monday is here to confirm that it's those employees who avoid work today more than usual and tell their boss more than a few lies, who will have their holiday shopping done by 6pm. That's what holidays are all about, right? Shopping? Excessive, obnoxious amounts of shopping for things that most people already have and yet insist they need more of but just in a different color. Commerce at its best.
Don't worry. The Johnny Cakes file will still be there tomorrow, but as for you, that's still up for debate. If you can't lie to your boss like a pro, then there's no telling where you'll be tomorrow. Sure, your couch at home is comfy if you lose your job, but how the hell are you supposed to spend money now?
So be cool. Lie with with everything you have, some dignity and a shit ton of class. And don't forget to order something for your boss, too. If you're going to be an extra shitty employee today, you might as well make it into a humorous occasion.
Happy online shopping!

The Nigeria international has been linked with a move away from the Blues in recent weeks after the Europa League winners signed André Schürrle and Willian during the summer transfer window.
Moses, who started his career at Crystal Palace, has scored 10 goals in 43 appearances in all competitions for the Blues following his £9m switch to Stamford Bridge from Wigan Athletic in 2012.
Liverpool have been linked with a swoop for the forward, but ex-Reds assistant Clarke has expressed an interest in bringing the out-of-favour Chelsea midfielder to the Hawthorns before next week's transder deadline.
"Moses is available to come out and he's a player that we would be interested in," Clarke told the Birmingham Mail.
"But I can't say that I'm confident in landing him or any player at the moment."

Payback time for Dalhausser, Rosenthal in FIVB quarterfinals
LONG BEACH – Phil Dalhausser and Sean Rosenthal remembered how their last match against Jon Stiekema and Christiaan Varenhorst ended – with a barrage of balls smashing into the sand on the Americans' side of the net.
The Dutch pair buried Dalhausser and Rosenthal in a 34-minute sweep at last month's Berlin FIVB Grand Slam. But the Americans served their revenge Friday with a three-set comeback win, 20-22, 21-17, 15-13, in the ASICS World Series of Beach Volleyball quarterfinals.
"That one felt good, because they gave us a smashing in Berlin," Dalhausser said. "So the win and the fashion that we did (it) – tight third set, kind of dangled the carrot a little bit and then pull it away – was pretty good."
Despite trailing the majority of the first set, the Americans tied it at 20, only to allow a pair of kills from the 6-foot-11 Varenhorst.
The U.S. rebounded in set two, grabbing a 14-9 lead before yielding a four-point run. However, the Netherlands did not come any closer, as Rosenthal blasted a pair of kills off Varenhorst to conclude the set.
Stiekema and Varenhorst blitzed the Americans for a 7-5 lead in the decisive third set, but the U.S. answered with a 6-2 run keyed by two kills, a block and an ace from Dalhausser.
The Americans reached match point at 14-10 before surrendering three consecutive points. Rosenthal stepped up to prevent his team's implosion, scraping the winning kill off Varenhorst's fingertips.
"I was going to get a couple get a couple red cards if the (referee) didn't call a touch on it, because it was pretty big," Rosenthal said.
Dalhausser and Rosenthal, the tournament's No. 1 seed, advance to face Germany's Alexander Walkenhorst and Stefan Windscheif in tomorrow's semifinals,
"We're not playing as well as we have been in the last few weeks, but we're doing just enough to get by, and that builds character in any type of situation," Dalhausser said. "Tight match, whatever, we know we have the confidence we can pull it out even if we're not playing our best ball."
Theo Brunner and Todd Rogers entered this week off the radar in the qualifying round. But with a three-set shocker over fifth-seeded Aleksandrs Samoilovs and Janis Smedins from Latvia, the American duo has a reservation in Saturday's semifinals.
After falling behind 13-12 in the third set, the U.S. pair stormed to victory with three consecutive points, capped by a thunderous block from Brunner to seal the 21-18, 15-21, 15-13 win.
"I still can't believe we made the semis here," Brunner said. "I didn't even think we were going to (win) our qualifying match, so this is surreal."
Brunner and Rogers look to keep their magic alive against Poland's second-seeded duo, Mariusz Prudel and Grzegorz Fijalek.
"It's easy, because we have no pressure. All the pressure's on the other teams," Brunner said. "We just qualify. We've got nothing to lose."

How to Sample for Particles, Water, and Oil in Compressed Air
Sep 30 2016 06:26 PM | Simon in Articles
Many in the food manufacturing business are wondering exactly how to go about complying with the requirements for routine monitoring of compressed air. SQF, BRC, FSSC 22000 and PrimusGFS schemes require monitoring but do not establish purity limits, nor do they provide guidance on how to accomplish this requirement.

Adding Value to an Internal Audit System
Jun 06 2016 05:27 AM | Tony-C in Articles
Internal auditing is included in Food Safety Management Requirements of the GFSI Guidance Document Sixth Edition Version 6.4 and as such is a compulsory element of GFSI benchmarked standards including BRC, SQF, IFS and FSSC 22000. Whilst at first the aim of your internal auditing system may be to confirm that your food safety management system is effective in meeting customer statutory and regulatory requirements, an effectively implemented and managed internal audit system can add significantly more value to your business.
Internal auditing is not just about identifying compliance and non-compliance, by taking a proactive approach your internal auditors can contribute to the performance of your business by identifying areas for improvement.
We'll come back to this later but first let's go through some relevant information regarding internal audit systems in the food industry.

The Solution to a Combined HACCP & HARPC System!
Jun 01 2016 05:59 PM | Simon in Articles
On first glance HACCP and HARPC may look similar. But be warned, no matter what you may have been told, they are not!
There are key differences between the two systems and so, if you're trying to comply to both, it's really important that you understand what those differences are.
More than that, there is one fundamental contradiction in the two systems, that if not addressed prior to setting off down the food safety path, may just trip you up!
I believe the publication of the FDAs Food Safety Modernization Act and the requirement for a risk-based preventive control plan (HARPC), is going to turn the world of HACCP on its head.
Although HACCP is well-established and the recognized way of carrying out food safety risk assessment, the NACMCF and Codex Alimentarius principles will need to make way for the new preventive control rule.
Even with the introduction of HARPC, food facilities will continue to be required to adhere to HACCP principles by their local law, by their customers and in order to meet standards such as those recognized by the GFSI.

Behavioral Based Food Safety – An Alternative Training Methodology
Sep 19 2015 06:09 PM | Simon in Articles
Organizations spend a fortune on employee training.
Organizations spent an additional fortune on quality failure: customer complaints, loss of business, destruction of goods, retesting, repacking, reworking, returns, recall, etc. In most cases the loss is attributed to "the human factor".
If both of the above paragraphs are true, then something very strange is going on in our workplaces. This article introduces an alternative to traditional training methods to which we have become accustomed to over the years: an effective and enjoyable alternative with measurable results.

How Food Safety Agencies Protect Consumers with Food Labels
Jul 22 2015 07:30 PM | Simon in Articles
The main goal of food safety agencies worldwide is to protect consumers from food products that are potentially harmful to their health. For that reason the agencies constantly introduce new and review old regulations for proper food production and labeling. These laws differ from country to country, and even from region to region within one country.

The artist Sam Taylor-Wood yesterday shot a picture which will be blown up into an image 600ft long and 100ft high to be wrapped around the London store Selfridges when it undergoes renovation next year.
The picture was taken yesterday under conditions of the strictest secrecy at an opulent private house in London. Ms Taylor-Wood requisitioned actors including Michael Gambon, Ray Winstone, Jane Horrocks and Richard E Grant as models for her latest work. Other cast members, all of whom appeared for free, included Sir Elton John and the model Jodie Kidd.
Ms Taylor-Wood said yesterday: "Just as the Elgin Marbles are on the Parthenon [sic] like gods on the outside of a temple, this is going to be lots of grand people on the outside of a shopping temple." The theme was decadence -"the way that shopping is", she said.
The photographer, a former Turner Prize nominee, was commissioned to make the artwork by the store which gave her an open brief and made no stipulations as to what she should do. The work will be the latest in her series entitled "Five Revolutionary Seconds" in which a mechanical camera takes a 360 degree image of the assembled friends.
The actors were approached through their agents. "I just submitted the idea and they said, `Yes'. They're doing it because they think it's fun." In return, each will get a print of the photograph by the artist who is one of the successful band of young British artists.
Sam Taylor-Wood's work is said to explore human relationships by using friends to stage various scenarios. In her Turner prize entry, one of her exhibits, "Atlantic", had three video projectors displaying images on different walls. One showed an emotional woman, another a man's fidgeting hands and the third the restaurant in which they were sitting.
She caused a stir when she recreated an image of the Last Supper entitled "Wrecked", inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's painting but with a topless woman as Christ. It was exhibited in the "Sensation" exhibition at the Royal Academy.

One less option
|01.22.09 at 3:16 pm ET
When rumors began buzzing about the Boston Celtics need for a back up center. Alonzo Mourning's name had been mentioned in the mix of veteran big men. On Thursday, Mourning put those rumors to rest when he announced his retirement from basketball.
"I truly feel it's best that I retire," Mourning said at his press conference. "When you've got something you love and you're passionate about, it's hard to let that go. But at 38, I feel I've physically done all I can for this game. It has been an amazing ride.'
Mourning had been rehabbing from a knee injury he suffered over a year ago with the Miami Heat. The 15-year veteran, who had already overcome a kidney disease to win an NBA championship in 2006, decided to leave the game with a positive attitude.
"It's not a sad day, but it's a day to celebrate,' he said. 'I can think of a million people right now that would have loved to walk the path I've walked. The ups and the downs made it even more joyous."
In addition to Mourning, the Dikembe Mutombo and Joe Smith were also mentioned as possible acquisitions for the Celtics. Mutombo re-signed with the Houston Rockets in December after losing patience with Cs. Smith is still under contract with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Vacation home sales up 10%
Vacation-home sales jumped 10.1 percent last year, spurred by a recovering economy, the National Association of Realtors reported recently.
Vacation-home sales totaled 553,000 in 2012, accounting for 11 percent of all homes sold in the U.S. in 2012, the association reported.
In addition, people purchased 1.2 million homes strictly as an investment last year, about 20,000 fewer than in 2011. But investors still accounted for 24 percent of all U.S. homebuyers in 2012 – the second-highest share since 2005.
Together, vacation and investment homebuying accounted for more than a third of the nation's residential transactions last year, with cash being used for almost half of those deals, the association said.
"We had a strong stock market recovery, which helps more people in the prime ages for buying vacation homes," said Lawrence Yun, the association's chief economist.
Yun predicted that investors will buy fewer homes as prices continue to rise and the number of homes for sale – especially discounted foreclosures – remains low.

You're gonna need a bigger background.

You're gonna need a bigger background.
(submitted by Emily)
I thought the family tree would branch out a little more than this.
New Reality TV show promo photo…"15 kids and counting"
Is that little girl flipping everyone the bird? Smart kid.
Great Jaws reference, Emily!
The photographer needs to be punished for this one, but it was probably someone's cousin-in-law. hope they didn't pay much.
That's exactly what I was thinking… very unprofessional.
Yeah, it looks like crap…but believe me, this family INSISTED on getting everyone in the picture, no matter WHAT! I used to have the God-awful job of a traveling store photographer and you have no IDEA how many people will practically have a meltdown right in the store unless you get all 62 people in the photo. So don't blame the photographer…blame the people who insisted on having the entire clan in the photo!!!
As a professional school photographer (where backgrounds like this were used) you have no idea how many times families came to take a picture and would not believe me when I said they would look awkward. I have been told everything from "just take the picture" to "we don't care if the background doesn't fit".
Good one!
One of the ladies in the back row is sportin a Bieber hairdo. She was Bieber, when Bieber wasn't cool.
so you mean always? lol
Having participated in many the family group shot, I can hear it all now… "a little closer… get a little closer. Hey, Bridge, get Cami to look at the camera… oh, man. I think we've finally outgrown the background. We'll have to take the photo outside next year… Taylor, Robert… look up" SNAP
Similar to those who choose to freeze their bodies so that they can be "thawed" when science has figured out immortality, this group chose to have their picture made just knowing that one day in the future, someone would be able to photoshop and crop the backdrop frame out of existence.
Proof that you can get a great haircut at home with the Flo-Bee.
LOL wish I would have said that!
Doesn't Marney realize that isn't a regulation sized backdrop behind her and the family? Amy Misto must have brought it.
<3 love it!
Best. Comment. Ever!
ROFL, that is the best !!!!!!!
I was totally fooled. I was sure they were standing outside in front of a large oak tree.
LOLm and to think they paid money for this picture! Have photographers no shame???
Those kids – each and every one of them look completely miserable. The girl in the back won't even face the camera. And what's the point of the pull-down background – that doesn't really serve as background for this group shot?????
The polyester burns too six months to heal…

Discount retailer Target (NYSE: TGT) recently reported disappointing first quarter results, causing its share prices to slightly decline. Nevertheless, it is clear that the retailer still has a lot to offer investors if they keep the stock in their portfolio.
Weaker Results
Target announced on May 22 that its first quarter earnings were down as a result of disappointing sales as consumers held off on buying seasonal items such as gardening supplies and clothing due to a chilly early spring. The retailer's profit for the period ending May 4 was down to $498 million, or $0.77 per share, from $697 million in the previous year. Stores operating for at least a year were down 0.6% on their sales for the same period - its weakest performance since the third quarter of 2009, when sales fell 1.6 percent. However, total sales still rose slightly by 1% to $16.71 billion. Needless to say, the results were way below analysts' expectations. Same-store sales were anticipated to suffer a 0.3% decline while total sales were expected to come in at $16.78 billion.
However, weaker results were not limited to Target as the whole retail sector suffered due to the chilly weather. Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) and Kohl's (NYSE:KSS) reported lower-than-expected sales, while Lowe's (NYSE:LOW) also reported a weaker-than-anticipated profit for the same quarter.
Due to the unfavorable results, Target scaled down its full-year earnings forecast to $4.70 to $4.90 per share, from its earlier forecast in April of $4.85 to $5.05.
Another factor that drove down corporate results was Target's costs of opening new stores in Canada. Although the 24 stores already open generated some $86 million in sales for the quarter, the costs of the launch brought down earnings by an estimated $0.24 per share during the same period. However, the rollout of the stores is expected to boost revenue growth in the long term. The retailer hopes to have 124 stores open in time for the Holiday shopping season.
On the other hand, Target enjoyed some gains from the finalization of the sale of its credit card portfolio for $5.7 billion to TD Bank Group. The retailer has dropped its Target-branded Visa credit cards in favor of Target store cards that would be accepted only at its offline stores or at its website. Target said it would enjoy a pre-tax gain of some $393 million on the sale, which would pass on to TD the responsibility for regulatory compliance and risk-management policies while it would retain account servicing functions.
The new REDcards have also helped to boost sales slightly due to the five percent discount offered to card holders. According to the retailer, some 17% of purchases were paid for using REDcard credit and debit cards during the quarter, as opposed to nearly 12% a year ago.
Strong Long-Term Outlook
One thing that Target has maintained is its strong brand recognition. The retailer is known not only for selling higher-end aspirational products at bargain prices but also for its range of unique products that are exclusive to it.
In addition, Target has also successfully been able to deal with many challenges in the competitive retail world that other big retailers were not able to meet. For example, in order to avoid 'showrooming', or the practice of many online consumers using its sites for comparison shopping and then making the final purchase elsewhere, the company offered its customers not only exclusive products but also a unique boutique experience through its online site, "The Shops" at Target. As a result of these initiatives, share prices are up 21% from the same period last year. Target is currently trading at $68.67, and its 52-week range is from $56.65 to $71.91.
Also expected to boost sales in the long term is Target's entry into low-margin groceries. The big box retailer announced that it would add grocery sections to many of its local stores. The changes are expected to get people to make more trips into the stores on a regular basis and hopefully convert to buy higher-margin items. Target has already reported that total sales grew by 10% since it introduced groceries.
Meanwhile, the stock has been enjoying solid dividend growth over time. While Target's current yield of 2% is lower than the 2.4% offered by Wal-Mart, its dividend growth is more impressive. Over the past five years, Target's dividend growth has increased by some 21% annually. This means that investors will enjoy better returns over time due to dividends.
The Bottom Line
Despite its disappointing first quarter results, it is clear that Target is still set to enjoy earnings growth in the years to come because of its success in meeting the challenges of a rapidly-changing retail landscape. In addition, its foray into Canada will surely pay off in the long run even if it impacts on earnings in the short term. So if you are looking for a stock that will reward patient investors, Target is a stock that you definitely must keep in your portfolio.

The Model T was manufactured between 1908 and 1927, and was know by various names including Tin Lizzie, Flivver, T‑Model Ford, or just 'T'. The Model T set 1908 as the historic year that the automobile became popular. It is generally regarded as the first affordable automobile, the car that opened travel to the common middle-class American; some of this was because of Ford's innovations, including assembly line production instead of individual hand crafting. On May 26, 1927, Henry Ford watched the 15 millionth Model T Ford roll off the assembly line at his factory in Highland Park, Michigan.
