Wholesalers are finding their old faithfuls are the brands they can rely on to deliver growth, despite some having been around for decades. Brands such as Maynards and Barratts and Tic Tacs continue to buck the recessionary trend and suppliers are keen to stress the continued importance of the category to wholesalers.
Matt Austin, Wrigley Confections business unit director, says that sugar confectionery is in good shape – in fact in growth for the past two or three years despite consumer cut-backs elsewhere. "Sugar confectionery is a good value indulgence, it lasts a long time and you can dose it," he says….particularly referring to the growing trend of products from this category finding their way alongside crisps and other bagged snacks for the "big night in" consumer occasions. Austin adds that gaming is now a major social, sharing occasion and fruit confectionery – including Wrigley's Skittles and Starburst brands, fits the consumer need perfectly – particularly the "tear and share" larger packs.
Austin says the trend for people to make the most of an evening at home with friends is one wholesalers should be looking to profit from by encouraging their retail customers to buy into "big night in". "Where independent stores have capitalised on it, we're seeing big uptakes on those items. Wholesalers need to have them in a spot where retailers can see them clearly and understand what they're for.
Austin's views are echoed by Alison Brand, marketing director for Tangerine Confectionery, the company behind the Barretts. She says: "As consumers rein in their wider spending on big ticket items and non essential purchases, the intrinsic value of smaller treats increases and they are less likely to compromise in this area. While there is little sign of coming out of recession, sweets should continue to be resilient during this period of austerity.
"The sharing boom has arguably ramped up growth the most over the past year. Sharing formats have been a key area for Tangerine with rising sales for hanging bags and sharing formats such as Barratt 'I Love Sweets' bag of bags currently valued at around £31m."
However, she says consumers still expect to find a bargain so value is another key trend supporting the growth of the category, relying heavily on promotion of trusted favourites. "We've seen frequent multi-buy, extra-free and round-pound pricing that support impulse purchase, or in the case of new products, encourages trial.
Brand continues: "There's also a trend towards more frequent shallow promotions and coupon collects, discount experiences and price-marked bags so consumers can clearly see good value for money."
Levi Boorer, customer development director for Ferrero says Tic Tacs are now worth more than £20m and selling 50m packs each year – its highest level of volume sales since the brand was launched in the 1970s.
Like Brand and Austin, Boorer says confectionery is not feeling the effects of the recession. "Consumers are still willing to buy treats, and confectionery is a low-cost way of doing this. Pocket confectionery accounts for 34% of sugar unit sales so it represents a significant part of a retailer's confectionery business."
"Having both mint and fruit flavours means Tic Tacs features in the two largest segments of pocket confectionery with 55% of value sales going through the impulse channel."
While fruit confectionery continues to thrive, mints, according to Boorer have had something of a tougher time although it still remains the second largest segment within the pocket confectionary category, representing a significant sales opportunity. "Our focus has been twofold; developing marketing advertising that engages younger consumers, and working with retailers to make sure fixtures are effective, relevant and not confusing."
"In terms of marketing, mints currently attract older consumers than, for example, fruit. It's important to continue to attract this audience but also bring in new, younger consumers and, greatly appealing to both, X-Factor is a perfect partner. During 2011 we ran an X-Factor on-pack promotion across all Tic Tac flavours and pack sizes, giving consumers the chance to win tickets to the live shows, as well as tickets to The X-Factor Live Tour 2012. It ran across all sectors and was supported by bespoke display units, as well as outdoor and digital advertising; the promotion has undoubtedly contributed to Tic Tac experiencing its highest volume performance to date last year."
Boorer says it's vital that wholesalers stress the importance of impulse purchase to the mint sector. "Pocket Confectionery is one of the most impulsive categories in the confectionery market, with seven out of 10 purchases being unplanned, which makes merchandising the right products at till points and on fixture the secret to unlocking sales in this area." He adds that branded counter display units have helped boost sales by up to 161%.
Chewits is another brand with a long history. Stuart Lane is commercial director of Leaf Confectionery UK that owns Chewits. He says: "Chewits performs very well in the wholesale channel, as the route through to the shelves of the independent convenience retailers. The Chewits Xtreme Sour Apple variant, aimed at a slightly older group of 12 to 15 year olds – is performing exceptionally well. Its rate of sale is phenomenal with many stores selling up to a case and a half per week."
But to ensure the brand is fully supported through the wholesale channel, Leaf recently appointed SHS Sales amp; Marketing to deliver a tailored support programme. Says Lane: "Using a range of promotional and display activities, we are concentrating on really supporting wholesale sales through a proposition aimed specifically at the independent market." Part of that activity sees the launch next month (July) of £1 price-marked 4-packs of its bestselling Chewits fruit flavours – strawberry, blackcurrant and fruit salad.
Lane also stresses that one of the roots of Chewits' success is its appeal to children buying their own sweets. "Our consumer research showed that Chewits has a clear positioning amongst children buying sweets. Whilst competitor brands have a strong overlap with each other and compete for the same age group, Chewits is the only chewy sweet brand that appeals to the core age group of 5 to 11 year olds," he says. The Kraft Foods portfolio
Skittles has just launched its biggest ever on-pack promotion with a £50,000 prize pot up for grabs.
Available across all 55g and 174g variants, the promotion is backed by a through-the-line marketing campaign – with TV kicking off this month, fronted by its star, Grant Britton.
Grant has a unique affliction that means he sweats Skittles. There are 500 "golden" Skittles sweated by Grant hidden in the promotional packs and throughout the campaign, consumers will be encouraged to help Grant work up a Skittles sweat in a bid to win limited edition merchandise such as sweatbands, water bottles and t-shirts.
Matt Austin, Wrigley Confections business unit director says: "Skittles is already outperforming the category with sales up 58% on last year (Nielsen MAT March 24, 2012) making this promotion a golden profit opportunity."
- Stock the best sellers… but also ensure you offer variety (brands and variants)
- Be aware of the products that are engaging with retailers and shoppers through advertising and consumer promotions to help capitalise on demand
- Always take time to talk to the suppliers' sales representatives when they visit your depot. They know the categories inside out, which products to highlight and are ultimately able to offer the best advice on how to grow sales in depot
- Signpost sugar confectionery displays with beacon brands
- Merchandise best sellers on the shelf at eye level and tell your retail customers to do likewise

Joe Reviews: The Yaurcoan Empire
I miss playing Savage Worlds, and plan on returning to it one of these days. When I do, I sincerely hope it is to play Totems of the Dead. I am a Latin American scholar, and spend an inordinate amount of time studying the pre-Columbian peoples of North and Central America. As a result of this fascination, a pre-Columbian fantasy game like Totems of the Dead is definitely one of my favorite games. (We did an episode in season one where it was featured as a favorite game.)
The Yaurcoan Empire sourcebook is a fantastic resource for Totems of the Dead, especially if you want an Incan themed game. If I can put my historian hat on a for a moment, The Yaurcoan Empire won't get you through a class on the Inca, as the Empire presented in the book is a mash up of the Incan Empire around the time of its "discovery" by Pizarro. I like to think of the Yaurcoan Empire as a bit of alternate history with the assumption that the Spanish never showed up…and it has Pterosaur riding warriors and Pleistocene animals wandering around (like Terror Birds). This, to me, makes it incredibly awesome!
The book itself is short but sweet, covering all sorts of material without bogging the reader down in minutiae. There is at least one adventure seed per page, and I'm not exaggerating about that. There is a part that covers the history, religion, and culture of the Yaurcoan Empire and its subject people. Like the Incas, the Yaurcoa dominate a bunch of local tribes, some of whom resent the dominance and others who are busily assimilating, as well as many shades of gray in between the extremes. The religion section is interesting and really illustrates this cosmopolitan atmosphere.
The Gazetteer section is also incredibly informative and useful for a GM who is going to run a game set in the cities of the Empire. Each city comes complete with a sentence or two of history, some cultural differences highlighted, and a little news (adventure seed!). The places are wonderfully thought out, and yet tease you with a lack of detail begging to be filled in! The entire book is written with an eye for tantalizing your imagination with ways to bridge gaps between short bursts of inspirational prose. There are neat details like a mention that there are hidden valleys in the mountains containing monsters, treasure, secret estates, and ancient ruins. They even mention a couple of peoples from the distant past (one a race of giants that still inhabit some of the valleys) to help you flavor your own ruins.
There is only a page of new crunch in here, which definitively shows that it's more of a GM's book than one for players. The new edges and equipment is still pretty cool, though. In the GM's section of the book there are stats and backgrounds for a few major characters mentioned in the current events of the Empire, which does a really good job of showing you how to build a character from a similar background. Each description has a few good story hooks in it, too. There are two pages of "secrets," which are really just adventure seeds, and they add a lot of ideas!
The bestiary section is really cool, too, which is really a feature of this line (the GM's Guide has a massive bestiary). It has the stats you would need to run the adventure at the end of the book. The adventure is only a page, and would require a little bit of exposition on the GM's part. It does a solid job of giving someone a good kick start to the two-fisted nature of the game.
Overall, if you like Totems of the Dead, pick up The Yaurcoan Empire. It'd be six dollars well spent, as at the very least it will keep you inspired to do something. The best praise I can heap on The Yaurcoan Empire is that it screams to be played. The entire time you read it as a GM your head will spin with ideas to run a game set in the Empire itself.
I really like the Transmission approach to plot building. Most source books for settings or locations are too detailed for me. I like to make things up on my own but some guidance gives me a base to work from. And Transmissions work wonderfully for that. They are not dependent on setting, system or genre either. This fantastic tool will definitely find its place in my GM toolbox right next to the fantastic adventure generator from Thrilling Tales . I will definitely think about possible future Transmissions.

It's review time again and today in review is Space Cadet and Valentine Glitter form Tip Top Nails, Southafrica.
So let's get into some swatches and review of this two lovelies.
First in line, is a Space Cadet. Isn't this name so exiting.... ;-)
Dark Shade Lovers: Just go for it...And if you admire some shiny lil flakes combined with a dark shade, what are you waiting for? This deep dark teal with shiny lil blue flakes, might be your next favorite dark shade... :-)
Ohwww...loook at this.....dosn't it looks like as if lots of small star glitter gathered in a space....absolutely beautiful.... <3
Being a fan of dark shade...It is irresistible for me to stay away from such dark beauties;-) ....but hey you lovelies...applying a base coat before you apply this gorgeous color on your nails is highly advisable.
Look at this....You can notice the color difference. This shade looks very different with real eyes and in camera eyes...but the second pic is very close to how it looks with real eyes.
And ya, Hold on ...There is one tip before you apply this shade, you need to be very precise and cover your first coat very smoothly and evenly when you apply second coat. I recommend you to apply first coat bit thicker then normal.
And do not hesitate to apply third one if you are not satisfied with the opacity, because this nail lacquers are really fast drying. Here in this pics I too have applied three coats. Sometimes Top coat is useful to highlight glitters in a polish, especially when it's a dark shade. In this pics I too have added thin layer of clear top coat to highlight pretty glitters.
Ahhh...because of the rainy season...I wasn't able to capture the shiny beauty of this shade in sunlight. :-(
A Close Up... :-)
Outside Pic without flash.... :-)
Inside pic with Camera Flash... :-)
Inside pic without Flash :-) Can you see that space effect!!!! ;-)
Inside pic without camera flash... :-)
And this one is my fav.... <3 <3 <3...no flash..captured near window to take advantage of natural light. And that works absolutely fine... :-)
Second in review is Valentine Glitter...It's a clear polish with lots of big heart Shaped holo flakes. Absolutely Stunning... <3
I made this round (well almost I can say..;-) ) by pasting single flakes and then applied bit of glitter inside it.....
Ohww...Searching for my goggles... ;-)
Weeelllll....What to say?!?... I will say it a beauty on top of beauty...What say???? :-)
And finaly here is the conclusion...;-)))
Hope you enjoyed this post.
Thank you for Visiting and Reading/ Commenting.

The California state auditor has found that more than 1,000 state-licensed facilities — including more than 600 for kids — matched addresses in the sex-offender registry, saying oversight mechanisms lag behind state requirements.
The state Department of Social Services "cites the lack of resources as the primary reason why it has not implemented an automated sex offender address match and why its oversight mechanisms are falling short of requirements," said the state auditor's report, released Thursday.
Specifically, the report said that 677 foster and group homes and other state-licensed facilities for children matched sex offenders' addresses, as well as 385 state-licensed facilities for vulnerable adults.
The auditor found that almost 600 of the 1,000 address matches were "high risk and in need of immediate investigation," the report said. It was not clear from the report how many foster and group homes are in California, in total.
This month, the state social services agency and county child welfare agencies investigated 99% of the matches and began legal actions against eight licensees of facilities, including four license revocations, said the report, titled "Child Welfare Services — California Can and Must Provide Better Protection and Support for Abused and Neglected Children." http://californiawatch.org/dailyreport/state-audit-welfare-systems-fail-protect-abused-neglected-kids-13311
In six of those actions, registered sex offenders were living or present in the child facilities, and counties found 36 sex offenders having "some association" with foster homes — prompting authorities to remove children from the facilities and ordering the offenders out of the homes, the report said.
State costs for housing foster children have also grown dramatically, California State Auditor Elaine M. Howle found.
"The percentage of children placed with private foster family agencies ? agencies that recruit and certify foster homes and are compensated at a higher rate than state- or county-licensed foster homes ? has dramatically increased over the last 10 years and resulted in an additional $327 million in foster care payments during that time," the report said. "The counties we visited admit to placing children with these agencies out of convenience rather than for elevated treatment needs as originally intended."
The state social services agency "generally agreed" with the auditor's findings and outlined an action plan in response to several recommendations, the auditor said.

|Lontara/ Bugis Alphabet
Bugis (Ogi) is one ethnic and language on Indonesia, exactly on The Province of "South Sulawesi". Bugis is one of the big ethnic having a big impact to the development of South Sulawesi historically. Bugis ("To Ogi", "Tau Ugi", based on social dialect), is the tribe with high spread development. It is on the group of Malay - Deuteron. Most of in Indonesian Area, can be found this ethnic. Meanwhile, the spreading of Bugineese was not only on Indonesian Territorial, but also it was spread and settled out land like Malaysia, Chine, Brunei, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, etc on Asia, Africa, Europe and Australia. Bugineese was famous with their navigation and "Siri' na pacce" cultural (shame). The Bugineese has an alphabet written on Lontara, consists of 16 letters and 4 marks to indicate vowel sounds.
The name of Bugis was adopted from the name of first king Cina in Pammana (now, "The Regency of Wajo"), called La Satumpugi. His people called their self as To Ogi, means that the follower of La Satumpugi. La Satumpugi (Father of We Cudai ) had a brother named Batara Lattu (Father of Saweri Gading). Then, They married Saweri Gading with We Cudai and had son named La Galigo who wrote the big art "I La Galigo" with about 9000 pages. And this book is bigger then The Epic of Mahabarata.
According to ancient history that the first Manurung to set foot on the plains of Sulawesi is Tamboro Langi '. He stood on top of Mount Latimojong. At that time, sulawesi area flooded and only the top of Mount Latimojong where the southern and central parts are still dry. Tamboro Langi then married Tande Bili, a goddess who emerged from the river Saddang. They had a son named Sandaboro which then gave birth to La Kipadada. Then, La Kipadada was building three great kingdoms, namely, Rongkong (the origin of Toraja), Luwu (The origin of Bugis) and Gowa (The origin of Makassar).

Each month I try to clean up my inbox by hitting unsubscribe to groups, companies, people who send me too much email, or email that has no value in enriching my life. I have often gone to unclick from Oprah emails. Telling myself that I do not need to be told how to live every facet of my life by Oprah, yet I always find myself unable to stop. I have lowered the frequency, but always find at least one nugget of information a month, that somehow makes my life better, soothes my soul, or teaches me about myself.
Here is this month's nugget….
O: What's the best thing about being a writer?
Mary Gaitskill: The best thing about writing is being able to clearly express things in a way you can't express in conversation. This is especially true if you are socially awkward and a little inarticulate, which I was when I first started to write seriously (at age 23) and is still how I occasionally feel. In countless conversations I have had, someone has said something and I have had several responses at once, sometimes responses that were nonverbal, coming to me in confused masses of feeling, images, and half-formed thoughts that I could not refine into words until, say, sometime the next day. Anything I did say would feel partial to me and often sounded just plain dumb.
Writing is in some way being able to sit down the next day and go through everything you wanted to say, finding the right words, giving shape to the images, and linking them to feelings and thoughts. It isn't exactly like a social conversation because you aren't giving information in the usual sense of the word or flirting or persuading anyone of anything or proving a point; it's more that you are revealing something whole in the form of a character, a city, a moment, an image seen in a flash out of a character's eyes. It's being able to take something whole and fiercely alive that exists inside you in some unknowable combination of thought, feeling, physicality, and spirit, and to then store it like a genie in tense, tiny black symbols on a calm white page. If the wrong reader comes across the words, they will remain just words. But for the right readers, your vision blooms off the page and is absorbed into their minds like smoke, where it will re-form, whole and alive, fully adapted to its new environment. It is a deeply satisfying feeling.
These words were like a morning-glory, lifting off the page for me to smell as I took in all the senses and emotions she was trying to convey. She captured EXACTLY how I feel about writing.
'If the wrong reader comes across the words, they will remain just words. But for the right readers, your vision blooms off the page and is absorbed into their minds like smoke, where it will re-form, whole and alive, fully adapted to its new environment. It is a deeply satisfying feeling.'
I love blogging and writing. Given the chance to write full-time as my job, I would. I can express myself better in words written on paper, on a computer screen, better than I can in *real* life.
The simple act of running writes the story of my life. Thank you for coming along my journey and for reading my words.

Robbie Nowlin, chef de cuisine at the Lodge Restaurant of Castle Hills, will soon be working at the French Laundry in Yountville, Calif. The restaurant, under the direction of chef Thomas Keller, has been hailed by many publications as the finest in the country.
Nowlin, who grew up in nearby Fairfield, Calif., will be Keller's chef de partie, which places him in charge of the ingredient preparation for the restaurant.
"It's awesome," he said of the news, adding that he's "nervous" as well as excited.
In culinary circles, Keller is held in the same respect that Michael Jordan is among sports fans, Nowlin said, and he's been a Keller fan for years now.
If Nowlin's name is familiar to local foodies, it's because he won the Chaine des Rotissuers competition for best young chef three years in a row. He started working in professional kitchens at age 14 and discovered his passion for cooking. He attended St. Philip's College and went to work for Damien Watel of Bistro Vatel for three and one-half years before moving to work for Jason Dady at the Lodge more than six years. He started as chef de partie, the same job he will take on at the French Laundry.
The title may be the same but the duties are much different. For starters, Nowlin will have three commis, or apprentices, working under him in a kitchen with 30 cooks. "It's definitely bigger," Nowlin said with a chuckle thinking about the size of the two kitchens.
"Also, chef de partie is obviously a step down from chef de cuisine … but well worth stepping down in rank to work at the best restaurant in the country if not the world," he said.
He will be moving with his 6-month-old son and fiancée about two weeks before he begins work on April 18. He will remain at the Lodge until then.
"We are all very excited for him," Dady said. "What an awesome opportunity for him!"

The Lyme-Old Lyme Education Foundation's (LOLEF) first Annual Trivia Bee, originally planned for Nov. 2 but postponed due to Storm Sandy, has now been rescheduled for Friday, Jan. 25 at Lyme-Old Lyme Middle School.
Local businesses, community organizations and neighborhoods are invited to enter teams of four into this adult trivia contest, arguably the most "bee-dazzling fun-draiser" in The Lymes! Admission is free and all are welcome.
Each team will be given a list of trivia topics in advance of the Bee. Teams are encouraged (but not required!) to choose a fun team name and dress in costume. The evening will be hosted by LOLEF and Kevin Hogan of Channel 3 News will emcee.
The winning team from each round will participate in a championship round. Teams will compete for the Honey Cup, a perpetual trophy, as well as the honor of being Crowned Lyme-Old Lyme's Trivia Bee Champion. Prizes will also be awarded for the best team name.
Spectators are encouraged to cheer on their favorite teams in person. Audience admission to the Bee is free.
Refreshments, local honey and tech-raffle tickets will be available for purchase.
The LOLEF supports innovative educational initiatives throughout our schools and community. Thanks to community support, the LOLEF has donated over $100,000 since its inception. During 2012, LOLEF awarded nearly $40,000 in funding to the Lyme-Old Lyme Public School system and Community Education.
The LOLEF counts on the success of fundraisers such as the Trivia Bee to keep the Foundations' grants program vibrant.
Businesses and organizations are invited to enter a team of their own or, if they prefer, to sponsor a team made up of teachers and or students from our local schools.
If you would like to participate in the Bee or become a corporate sponsor, contact Nicole Wholean at 860- 434-6678. The registration fee is $200 per team. Click here to download a registration form.
Anyone participating is encouraged to upload one of these pictures to their Facebook profile or timeline cover. The organizers would like to have the whole town buzzing!

Laminate flooring is a popular alternative solution for those seeking the look of real wood. Apart from the fact that it is much cheaper than a solid wood floor, one of it's biggest advantages is its low level of maintenance. It is designed to be easy-care and once installed you won't need to spend much time for it's cleaning. However, this doesn't mean that is "bullet proof". Although it is manufactured to be resistant to scratches, denting, stains, fading and wear from heavy use, it is still possible that might get damaged from everyday grit and dirt. Hence, cleaning your laminate floors on a regular basis is vital.
To help you remove any tough stains, and ensure your laminate flooring stays as it was when you first bought it, we have designed this simple "cleaning & maintenance" guide.
Methods for cleaning your laminate floors:
- Sweep your laminate flooring – Sweep your laminate flooring frequently with a dry dust mop, to remove everyday grit and dirt. Using a regular broom would be a mistake, as it can damage the surface. How? If you use a regular broom is very likely that particles will be spread around on the surface, which might cause scratches on it.
- Use a vacuum cleaner – An alternative way to remove grit and dirt from your laminate flooring, is to use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment. This is vital for cleaning the dust from around the edges of the room and in between the laminate planks. Make sure you don't use a vacuum cleaner with beaded bars, as they can scratch your laminate flooring. Additionally pay special attention to unwanted particles that might get stuck onto the wheels of your vacuum cleaner. This will cause scratches on the surface.
- Apply laminate floor cleaner – Spray a small amount of the laminate flooring cleaner onto a flat mop with a microfibre pad and start to mop the floor in the direction that it is laid. Make sure you use a cleaner suitable to your laminate flooring and always follow the manufacturer's instructions. Once you've finished with that, replace the microfibre pad with a dry one and re-mop the floor to remove any remaining residue of the cleaning product.
- Mop the floor with hot water – Instead of using laminate floor cleaner you could also mop your laminate flooring with hot water (use a regular mop or sponge mop). The water doesn't need to be boiled but should be warm enough to remove any stains. Before you start, wring the mop out well, as too much water can cause the edges of the boards to expand and the entire floor could be bend. Then, ventilate the room for an hour or so, by leaving the windows open. Alternatively you can wipe the hot water with a dry damp cloth.
- Use a mix of vinegar with water – This is a very useful receipt that will save you money from buying a laminate cleaner. Add approximately 50 ml of white vinegar into an old spray bottle and fill the rest with hot water. Then, spray the mix onto the area of your laminate flooring you want to clean. Do not spray the solution onto the entire floor.
- Wipe out any liquid spills or water immediately – Do not allow any liquid spills or water to remain on the surface for prolonged periods, as it can cause warping and damage the top-layer of your laminate flooring. Clean it out immediately with a dry cloth or a damp mop.
Tips and advices for keeping your laminate floors new
- Use a plastic scraper to clean wax or gum
- Clean oil, ink and other tough stains with acetone, using a dry cloth.
- Remove blood stains with a regular window cleaner.
- Clean nail varnish with nail vanish remover.
- Do not use soap or other conventional cleansers when cleaning your laminate floors.
- Place doormats in front of each door, so they can retain most of the dirt from shoes and not your floor.
- Install felt pads on the bottom of furniture legs to avoid scratches.
- Always shake your carpets outdoors.
- Never use chlorine when cleaning your laminate floors.
- Follow your manufacturer's instructions.

Patrick from Alameda, Calif., sees a parallel between the 2013 San Francisco 49ers and the 1995 Green Bay Packers. Both teams featured young, strong-armed quarterbacks. Both teams lost their leading receivers to injury.
Packers Receptions by Position
The Packers would have to play without Sterling Sharpe, who was coming off a 94-catch, 18-touchdown season when he suffered a career-ending neck injury. The current 49ers will be without Michael Crabtree, who suffered a torn Achilles' tendon after setting career highs with 85 receptions for 1,105 yards and nine touchdowns last season.
The Packers went 11-5 in their first season without Sharpe, a two-game improvement. Quarterback Brett Favre won MVP honors. How did they do it? That was the question Patrick raised through the NFC West mailbag as he sought to chart a course for quarterback Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers without Crabtree.
"Can you analyze how Favre diversified who he passed to after losing his favorite target," Patrick asked, "and how that compares to what Colin Kaepernick needs to do for the 49ers this year?"
Sharpe was such a dominant player physically. Mike Holmgren called Sharpe one of the three best receivers he'd ever seen, labeling him "virtually unstoppable" over a three-year span in which Sharpe caught 314 passes.
Packers TD Receptions by Position
Crabtree isn't in that category and there are other differences between the teams. However, I think the 49ers can come out OK because they have what the Packers had back then: a very capable quarterback.
Just as Favre was the key for the Packers, who got 102 receptions from Robert Brooks in 1995, Kaepernick will be the key for the 49ers. Anquan Boldin will fill some of the receiving void. Vernon Davis will probably have a greater number of receptions. LaMichael James could factor out of the backfield. Receivers A.J. Jenkins and Mario Manningham are wild cards.
The 1995 Packers got 131 additional receptions from running back Dorsey Levens (plus-47), Brooks (plus-44) and tight end Mark Chmura (plus-40) relative to what those players provided one season earlier. Sharpe, running back Reggie Cobb and tight end Ed West were no longer part of the offense. They had combined for 160 receptions in 1994.
As the first chart shows, the positional distribution for receptions remained pretty similar, especially at wide receiver.
Looking back on 1995, Favre did surprise himself by surpassing what he'd accomplished the year before.
"I really thought it was going to be hard to top what I did, especially without Sterling and a couple of changes with our offensive line," Favre said then. "It's hard to go out and throw 38 touchdowns. You got to start from scratch on offense. We had a new flanker, a new 'X' receiver, a new tight end. That's tough."

The 58-year-old led the Hammers to promotion via the Championship play-offs last term and the east London club currently sit ninth in the Premier League, having enjoyed a steady return to the top flight.
That, on top of his achievements at Bolton, convinced the midfielder that Allardyce should be at the top table.
"I think the boss deserves to be mingling with the top managers week in, week out," he told reporters.
|West Ham are 25/1 with Bet365 to finish in the Premier League's top six
"After working with him for a long time I firmly believe he belongs in the Premier League and I'm a bit gutted he hasn't been given that chance with a really top club.
"He has worked at top clubs but I mean a club that is always in the top four or five so he can have a go at the Champions League."

Not much being said about this lease that Des has put togother? Does not look very owner friendly? Money and Royality good but looks like they capture everything ever found under your property. Not limited to Utica and Marcellus. It also looks like they can pretty much do anything deemed necessary on your property.
Views: 8043
How can anyone take this clown seriously after all the crap he's pulled?
This guy would have made a killing in the pre-internet days when information wasn't so easily accessed.
This is Des.
This is not a bad lease at all. Seriously, the unit clause you are talking about does allow a vertical well to hold 160 acres, but the lateral clause is built around the idea of the unit size is based on the length of the lateral. Believe we actually know what we are talking about here. As for the other parts of the lease. This company is paying $6400 an acre. The highest negotiated price ever paid to a group not only in Ohio but in the entire Appalachian Basin. I have read every lease that is out there, and our lease is as good or better.
People actually think that their leases give them their shallow rights or their deep rights to sell to someone else. The real question is, has anyone actually made a dime selling other so called formations. The answer is no. I actually know how this works. And to you Donna, you do not have a clue what your talking about.
1. a single well can only hold 1650 acres if they drill a lateral more than 9000 feet. So to hold that many acres, they actually have to drill the lateral that far. For those of you who want the truth, it states 640 plus 10% up to 7000 lateral, 1000 acres up to 8000 foot lateral and so on. This means the farther they push the lateral the larger they can make the unit. This is actually to your benefit because not every foot of shale is profitable. And there is no way you can drill a 3 well unit with laterals longer than 5500 on 640 acres. So, Donna your wrong.
2. Your claim that they can pull up a dozer and hold the property is false. May be you cannot read, so here is the clause under definitions. :
(a) Operations. "Operations" shall be defined as Lessee having secured a drilling permit from the State of Ohio Division of Oil and Gas and further entering upon the herein described premises with equipment necessary to build any access road(s) for the drilling of a well subsequently followed by the drilling rig for the well to be drilled.
As you can see it says to be subsequently followed by a drilling rig for the well to be drilled.
3. The shut in clause is what it is. People want everything and see every clause as a money making venture. Remember, shut in on activates is the well is drilled and completed and SHUT IN. So do you actually think that a company is going to spend 8 million a well and shut it in for kicks and giggles. Lets be reasonable. In the end, are there other contracts that have a better clause on shut in, yes, but you cant have it all and there lease have lots of holes in them.
4. yep to vertical pugh which isn't the end of the world. An area that no one wanted 3 months ago is getting the HIGHEST PRICE EVER PAID IN OHIO. We have to give a little bit, but maybe Donna lives in a world where she gets everything her way.
5 A deposit Wrong, it is a signing payment given at the signing as a good faith gesture to the landowner. it is $1000.00 per parcel unless your consideration is less than $1000.00 then it is $100.00. Has anyone ever negotiated a payment at signing other than $10.00. Nope. So the clown was able to get people walking money at signing. and a $1000.00 is still a thousand dollars and it is per parcel.
6. Termination. If the lease terminates, then if the company doesn't respond to a request of release, if one isn't already granted after ninety days then any affidavit filed is binding on them. what this really means, is if the lease is terminated, and the company doesnt release you automatically, after 90 days an affidavit can be filed and it is binding wiith the company having no recourse. That isn't so bad. If there is a termination, so if there is not a termination, this doesn't come into to play at all. But we included the 90 day limit because a lot of leases out there have no limit on time. So again, whats the problem here.
7 Market enhancement. People do not understand this at all. So let me explain this one again. People think that a gross at the wellhead is the way to go to get the most money. WRONG!!!!!. Gross at the wellhead means just that. At the wellhead. Most of the real value is with the products that they enhance the wet gas into. If you don't have a market enhancement clause, you are not entitled to the enhanced value that comes from it. The clause states, that if they enhance the product for more value, then we share proportionately in the costs as long as they are based on actual cost and in the end we get the same price the oil company gets. So, you think Gross is the way to go without enhanced value then go that way, but you wont be getting any of the enhanced money that oil company gets.
8. Your correct on the pad fee, but no company is going to build a 50 acre pad. You are an idiot. Lets be real
Lets talk about some other things in the lease
Distance from the pad to structure is 500 feet FROM THE EDGE OF THE PAD!! First lease ever ot include distance measured from edge of pad. No gas storage and no injection. No use of surface water.
Water testing at 1000 from wellhead..
Fencing requirements, pipelines at 48 inches, not the typical 36.
And a strong Indemnification clause.
Is this a perfect lease. Nope, there is no such thing. Do I know what Im talking about. Absolutely. Those complaining on here probably signed some piece of garbage lease or are trying to pass themselves off as an expert. Ive never heard of them holding a meeting, paying for printing, or all the costs associated with the process. I would love to meet them anywhere at anytime and debate them on any topic oil and gas related. I would eat them alive. So get over it. As for the Monroe county lease with Consol, great lease no, but the lease started at 6 or 8 pages when we started and was 16 when we were done. The offer was the offer, people could take it or not. Some did and some didn't, and they took 200 more per acre and signed a lease that was a total mess.
So in the end, money mattered more than anything.
Here you get the highest price ever negotiated and a really great lease.
Your right about the internet with one thing. Some people can hide behind it and say whatever they want and pass it off as truth. Never leave their basement and throe cheap shot after shot. I put myself out their, held dozens of meetings and negotiated not my 4th large deal. So if you want the truth about this lease, come on out to Union Local on Friday or Saturday and see if this isn't a lease you would sign.
Des Wertheimer 3***********
" Believe we actually know what we are talking about here."
First time for everything, right?
"Is this a perfect lease. Nope, there is no such thing. Do I know what Im talking about. Absolutely. "
You want people to believe that you know what the terms of the lease say and yet you demonstrate that you don't even have a passing knowledge of the English language. Questions end in question marks, Des. But I'd totally trust you with my land, my family's future and a long term income stream.
"Your right about the internet with one thing. Some people can hide behind it and say whatever they want and pass it off as truth. Never leave their basement and throe cheap shot after shot. I put myself out their, held dozens of meetings and negotiated not my 4th large deal."
Somewhere your English teacher is crying. And "not your 4th large deal"? How did the other three go?
That's the rumor. I don't know so I won't speculate.
First, let me say I agree with some of what Des says.....I personally don't care about vertical pugh clauses, $10 "down" is a typical rate, market enhancement is a good thing and notification by the landowner is also typical lease language (I don't like it either, but it is typical). I've read a lot of leases also. However, a 9000' lateral would only need 252.5 acres mol (not 1650) according to conventional practice and State requirements. This is a clause designed to hold acreage.
Subsequently is an adverb based on the following:
I would respectfuly disagree on the 252.5 acres for a 9000 foot lateral. Remember spacing requires 500 feet on each side. We have had counsel involved in this negotiation and they have more than 80 years legal ecperience in oil and gas. We agreed to the acreage calculation and if you see what is happening in the industry, longer laterals is the name of the game. Also, the clause has a calculation to it, so you take the lateral length and put it in the clause and it gives you the allowable unit size. This has been used in many states for a while and is widely accepted as an accurate and fair way to calculate unit sizes.
As for shut ins, they are what they are. Nothing is perfect.
AS for name calling, I was refering to myself as the clown because one of the repsonders called me a clown. I dont believe I called anyone names. Yeah, from time to time taking a walk first maybe a better judgement, but when it comes to me, I never duck the tough questions and tell things how it is. Feelings on the sleeve are hard at times, but I got into this business to genuinely help people with my knowledge and they continually attack attack attack. No good deed goes unpunished. I have taken a beating on this site for 2 years and sometimes it just gets old. Thanks for the kind criticism.
The timer clause actually is poorly written in the landowners favor. It doesnt allow for the oil company to remove the timber, it just says for notification to be given 45 days before.
The lease doesnt speak of pipelines because it is not part of this negotiation. Right of ways are a separate issue for the landowner to take up.
Containment, please you come at me with containment.
Crop damage, seriously
Force Majuere, not matter the limitations put on this, state law trumps any contract between landowners and oil company,
So please before you go spouting off at the mouth about things you couldnt possibly understand,oh forget it. It isnt worth the time or energy.
Overall it is a great lease with a comapny that has vast experience with its people in drilling know how and the ability to raise a ton of cash. WE are expecting 15000 acres or more to sign so if you think something better or this perfect make believe lease is coming along, its not.
Union Local Middle School
Friday and Saturday from 11-8.
"I would respectfuly disagree on the 252.5 acres for a 9000 foot lateral. Remember spacing requires 500 feet on each side."
I drew it out, pushing the spacing past 500' to 600' on all sides of the lateral. I ran a 10,500' lateral and the unit size was 529 acres. So 1,650 is too high by a factor of 3. Care to explain?

Historic building with stunning contemporary interior
Great city centre location
Dinner, full Scottish breakfast and complimentary cocktail included
Stylish and extremely comfortable rooms
The building that now houses the stylish Hotel Indigo started life as Glasgow's first power station and it provided the juice to run the city's trams.
Its electricity-producing days are long gone but the city centre hotel's contemporary interiors and colourful dining room are still generating plenty of buzz.
The original leccie company workers would be shocked by the building's plush new incarnation but bright sparks will take up today's Big Deal and plug into Glasgow's latest boutique hotel.
Behind Hotel Indigo's Victorian facade lies a sleek, contemporary interior that reflects Glasgow's heritage but also features the very latest mod cons such as free WiFi throughout.
The Big Deal is for an overnight stay in one of the Executive Rooms which come kitted out with Egyptian cotton bedding; air conditioning; HD TVs with international cable and satellite channels; a radio alarm clock with iPod docking station; a mini bar with complimentary soft drinks and confectionery; Aveda toiletries and a walk in rainfall shower.
To really make a special occasion of your stay, you can arrange to have a bottle of Perrier Jouët Champagne in your room for just £30. Just tell the reception that you want to add on the champagne when you make your booking.
If you can bear to leave your luxury, then the hotel's Limelight Bar and Grill are just as appealing. Before eating, the bar is a cool place to chill, especially while clutching one of the Limelight's retro mixed drinks from a list that celebrates Glasgow's cocktail culture. An Indigo cocktail is included in the Big Deal.
Decorated with portraits of notable Glaswegians and some rather funky lighting, the restaurant offers dishes such as steamed West Coast mussels, sticky ribs, Cajun monkfish and a dinky range of desserts.
Situated on Waterloo Street, Hotel Indigo is ideally placed to make the most of Glasgow's shops, museums, theatres and hip 'n' happening nightlife.
Whether you want a romantic night away, a shopping splurge or a handy base for a high voltage nightclub crawl, today's Big Deal with Hotel Indigo flicks all the right switches.This is what irenew had to say about her stay in May on Tripadvisor:
'Excellent all round. Hotel only opened 3 weeks ago but what an experience! The quality of equipment in rooms, fixtures, fittings, extras etc. all in the luxury category. Beds best ever in, towels fluffy and large.
Vouchers are valid until 31/07/11.
Voucher is not redeemable on 22nd, 23rd & 24th June 2011.

text: Hey everybody, I'm not sure who all has read this article but I think it's a great read: http://www.hardcoreware.net/reviews/review-356-1.htm It says, basically, that the wii uses 'a lot' less power than PS3, XBOX360, or PC. It also uses 5X as much power when wiiconnect24 is turned on as opposed to when you have it in true 'off mode'. (I made that term up but I think you understand). I've had my wiiconnect24 off for a month now and don't regret it, it's a feature that simply isn't worth the dollar a month worth of power... I really couldn't believe that the wii peaked around 18watts while the other 3 were all peaking around 200watts. I mean the graphics of the other three are better, but not 10X better! -Dave

This section describes the concept of operation for the delivery of Departure Clearances (DCL) and revised DCLs through advanced automation and Controller Pilot Data Communications (CPDLC). The DCL will replace the legacy Pre-departure Clearance (PDC) system with enhanced functions including the ability to deliver revisions to departure clearances. Legacy PDC does not allow for revisions.
The aircraft operator files Flight Plan information into the National Airspace System (NAS). The Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) having jurisdiction over the departure airport processes the flight plan. The ARTCC's computer system modifies the flight plan into an Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) clearance. The ARTCC transmits the IFR clearance to the Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) automation, Tower Data Link System (TDLS).
TDLS presents the DCL to the controller for review and approval. The controller approves or modifies then stores the DCL in an automation queue available for a flight crew DCL request. TDLS forwards a copy of the DCL to the Aircraft Operations Center (AOC).
The flight crew prepares the aircraft for the flight and activates the data link system, which initiates a network connection between the aircraft and ground system, then sends a Data Link Logon via the Communication Service Provider (CSP) Network. After successful completion of the Logon process, a connection/session is established between the aircraft and the ATCT.
After logon and session establishment, the flight crew requests a departure clearance from TDLS. TDLS responds by transmitting the DCL stored in the queue to the aircraft via the CSP network. The flight crew reviews the DCL and loads the appropriate DCL flight plan data into the FMS.
When changes in tower or En Route conditions occur, the tower or the ARTCC will revise the clearance information. TDLS will develop and present a revised DCL for review and approval by the tower controller. The controller will take action to transmit the revised DCL to the flight crew through the CSP. As with the original DCL, a copy of the revised data will be provided to the AOC.
In both initial and revised DCL, the flight crew's response to the DCL message will be transmitted to the TDLS and displayed to the controller. These responses may be WILCO, UNABLE or STANDBYE as appropriate.

What Determination Can Do
If you own an old vehicle then by default you need determination. Take my car. It was my son's until he tired of it. Then we swapped and now I drive a 1997 Saab 9000, which idles like a truck and has a few very "special" peculiarities.
Like the remote fob switch, which has a mind of its own. Be nice to it and sometimes it works. Wear even the slightest frown though and all the determination in the world won't make it go.
That's why I decided to bite the bullet, face the music, face up to reality, stop kidding myself and… well, I've forgotten what I was saying. Oh yeah! Having been stuck in all sorts of compromising positions with a car that won't open, start, and randomly activates the most annoying alarm, my determination to get the ruddy remote replaced is set.
Which is just as well, seeing as I needed to talk to seven different firms today to sort something out. First, there was the local locksmith who said he could, then decided that he couldn't fix or replace the thing. Then, the city locksmiths who said such a thing was impossible unless I went to a car audio specialist who happens to sideline in car key remotes. Then came the audio specialist, Brad, who said it was beyond his powers, but he knew a man who… well, you get the picture.
It was an excellent object lesson in the power of determination as my youngest tagged along, seeing how much persistence and patience is required to solve a small but significant real world problem.
So it's funny (in an alarming way) that so many folk have such a short fuse for obstacles. For instance, when a computer doesn't do what they want it too they start yelling aggressively, bashing the keyboard, and having a meltdown (as if their determination converts into dysfunctional frustration).
However, life requires us to be persistent. Trying to solve problems with ultimatums and aggression is crude and selfish. While genuine appreciation, and quiet determination work incredibly well for just about anything.
So what happened to the Saab key remote I don't hear you ask? Well, the other man told me to go to an automotive air-conditioning specialist (go figure) who told me to go to another locksmith in Main Road who shook his head and said nobody could replace it except a company who happen to be the only people in Tasmania who might be able to find such a remote (as Saab went bust last year).
Quite often life is like that, isn't it? You have to put your determination to good use in a friendly way, be appreciative, and keep on keeping on until you get what you need. Is it hard to do? Not really. More inconvenient. At others, it's about following a process with resolve and a good dollop of courtesy.
So never let small obstacles block you. Keep going! Because, the energy to overcome is a practiced art, enhanced only through your personal determination to achieve.

Security operatives from the Abia State Police Command on Saturday smashed a car-snatching syndicate in Umuahia and recovered a Toyota Sienna bus that was snatched from the owner at a popular supermarket in the state capital.
Southern City News learnt that the owner of the bus had visited the supermarket when the hoodlums swooped on him and pushed him out of the car at gunpoint.
A police source said the hoodlums opened fire when they sighted the police and in the exchange that followed, one of the thieves sustained injury and was subsequently arrested.
The source added that the robber was later certified dead at a hospital, adding that the vehicle was recovered while efforts had been intensified to arrest the fleeing members of the gang.
He said that operatives at the Isuochi Police Division had also, acting on intelligence, recovered a Peugeot 607 car with registration number, RUM 372 RB, which was allegedly hidden in a bush track along Ezima Nnato in Umunneochi Local Government Area.
The source said that the car was reportedly snatched from its owner at gunpoint at Agwu LGA of Enugu State.
Meanwhile, officers from Abayi Police Station recovered a Toyota Corolla salon car with registration number, Lagos KTU 484 BM, at Ukwu Apu along Umuocham road, Aba.
Operatives from the Central Police Station, Aba also recovered a Mercedes Benz car with registration number, Lagos BX 111 JJJ, at Faulks Road in Aba.
Also acting on a tip, the police at Obehie Police Station reportedly arrested a four-man gang, which specialised in snatching tricycles from the owners at gunpoint.
The suspects were Amaechi Chinwuba, Uchenna Orji, Ebuka Agaby and Kosisochi Agaby. They confessed to have snatched a tricycle from the owner at Afam in Oyigbo, Rivers State.
The Abia State Commissioner for Police, Mr. Adeleye Oyebade, confirmed the recovery of the vehicles and the arrest of the suspects.

Chiropractic spinal traction therapy in West New Orleans is a method of stretching and mobilizing the spine using hands-on or mechanic force. Alleviation in pain is sought with therapeutic spinal traction by loosening tight and/or constricted muscles around the spine, and to help decompress intervertebral discs in order to relieve pressure on the spinal nerve roots, which is a major cause of back and spine related pain. As with other chiropractic treatments, spinal traction may or may not help alleviate your pain, often times with chiropractic treatment what works on one patient may not be right for others. Your chiropractor will evaluate your condition and determine if traction, and in what form, is right for you.
Yes, a chiropractor can help people with allergies. Next time you are feeling unwell due to allergies, you should consider visiting a chiropractor in West New Orleans . Chiropractic care is a holistic method of providing relief for the discomfort you feel when you suffer from allergies. Your chiropractor can successfully treat allergies by keeping your body healthy and less vulnerable to allergic reactions. A visit to a chiropractor, when you are suffering the symptoms of an allergic reaction, may help you to cope with your condition and make you feel much better. How can a Chiropractor help you? Allergic reactions are common immune disorders.
Best Back Pain Relief in West New Orleans – chiropractor will find way to help you.Many people choose to seek chiropractic when they have a pain not only in their back, but any part of their body. If you are looking for an alternative to traditional medication and surgery, you may want to consider seeking help from a chiropractor. Throughout your life, you may feel some aches and pains. Many choose to go to the doctor who may then prescribe some medication or recommend over the counter remedies to mask the symptoms by relieving the pain. While others may choose to suffer through, hoping it will stop soon; many others choose to undergo chiropractic care, believing that the body can heal itself with the help of a professional. With proper alignment of the skeletal structure, the nervous system can function properly; relieve you of painful symptoms and health issues. The chiropractor uses his or her hands to restructure the vertebrae. Many people's bones on the spine are not correctly structured, thereby resulting in subluxation. This can cause pain not only in the back, but also in other parts of the body. Misalignment of the spine can interfere with the nervous and vascular systems, causing an array of issues including pain, digestive disturbances and weakness. More and more people are undergoing chiropractic care as an alternative therapy. It has become so popular that many times it is covered under some insurance plans. If you are interested in the procedure, contact your insurance company to make sure the procedure is covered. More and more people are using it for pain and problems in the spine and lower back. Others have even used it to cure ear infections or colic in infants, as well as headaches. During the first consultation period, the doctor will begin with a chiropractic exam. He or she will ask you questions pertaining to your medical history. The doctor will also ask the patient to explain where they feel pain and whether there are long lasting health problems and a history of disease. They may even ask you about your dietary habits and any medication you may take. If you know how the injury occurred, this is the time to tell the doctor so that he or she can properly diagnose the problem. Many professionals use x-ray machines during the initial visit also. They will then start the procedure by manipulating the spine, which may produce a painless popping sound. This will normally help the joints. The patient will lie on a special table when this is occurring, to help the practitioner place the patient in proper positions. They may also try some stretching techniques. Generally you will need longer term treatment if your pain is chronic or severe or attached to a health problem. If you are in poor health then the recovery time can be long also. The doctor will discharge you and will follow up with you to insure that there are not huge risks or complications. The doctor will also ask you to do some exercises and may have you to use heat or ice packs when you are at home. If performed correctly, chiropractic treatment can do wonders if a person is suffering from certain ailments. If you are interested in some alternative medicines, then why not try chiropractic procedures from a professional who you can trust.
How a Chiropractor Can Help You With Slipped Disc?While money is not what should drive professionals to do their best in their chosen fields, it is important that they profit in whatever career they choose to follow. This is why they need to market their products or services in the most strategic ways. For many years, general terms in marketing have been used. However, there are different and more specific marketing approaches that are introduced today such as those that will be useful for practicing chiropractors. Results of these techniques are expected to come in the form of a steady flow of new and repeat clients which should start from a clinic or practitioner being widely known in the area where he practices. Chiropractic has proven to be a reliable way of treatment for certain conditions. Chiropractors have also worked hard to achieve a respectable position in the health industry. Basically, chiropractors treat patients with spine, nervous, muscular, and skeletal problems. Upon curing these problems, other body systems tend to function properly. Patients who are not treated immediately will have lowered resistance from elements that cause sickness and disorder within their bodies. Chiropractors basically help improve a patient's overall wellness. With the rising competition among chiropractors, practitioners need to use marketing techniques so they can have an advantage over others. First is to launch an effective advertising campaign through different media, including television, newspaper, radio and the Internet. The first three can be very expensive while online ads tend to be cheaper. Whichever medium is chosen, it is important that the chiropractor becomes known to people as an expert. When a practitioner is known in the industry, he will be among the first that people will consider when they need treatment for which a chiropractor will be valuable. Creativity also goes a long way. It's important that a clinic come up with various ideas to attract patients. For example, a free basic therapy can be offered with certain conditions. When thinking about marketing for a chiropractic clinic, location is going to be important. A clinic has to be in an accessible area which people can readily visit when they need to. Most chiropractic patients seek treatment for skeletal and muscular problems. If they have to travel far, they this becomes a major inconvenience for them. Indeed, it will help to have a clinic in a place where they can be easily reached by patients. Having state-of-the-art facilities and a systematic process also help as lot. Having services like this is an edge and a step forward for any practicing chiropractor. Of course, one should never close himself to new trends. One should never stop learning and have an open mind for suggestions.
Upper Back Pain - How a Chiropractor Can Help You?Chiropractors are the largest doctored profession outside of the traditional medical practitioners such as traditional doctors and dentists. Some people regard chiropractic therapy as alternative medicine however it is quite popular and chiropractors generally do not agree with the therapy being termed as alternative medicine. The most common problems addressed by the therapy involve the spine and in particular deal with the back and the neck. Lower back pain is the most often treated complaint. The therapy is largely manual and is therefore drug free. The side effects are minor and usually related to the manual adjustments which last on an average for a day. Surveys show that satisfaction levels for patients treated with chiropractic therapy are high. They are higher than those for traditional medicine. Also the average rapport between a patient and a chiropractic doctor is more than an average rapport between a traditional doctor and the patient. This is probably because chiropractic therapy aims to be holistic and a good rapport with the patient is considered important. The cost of chiropractic care is usually lower than the cost for traditional medical care. However medical insurance does not always cover chiropractic therapy. However in the USA for most states insurers are required to cover it. There are not many high quality studies evaluating chiropractic therapy though for lower back pain its effectiveness is considered to be very good. For other benefits critics of chiropractic therapy say that it benefits from what is known as a "placebo response" where a patient starts to feel better just by the knowledge that the patient is being treated. Being drug free it is generally regarded as a safe therapy though like other medical practices it is not entirely devoid of risk. In some cases the manual adjustments if not done correctly can lead to complications. Another issue with the therapy is that unlike traditional medical practitioners honesty amongst chiropractors is considered to be lower than that for other doctored professions. Therefore it is important to find a good chiropractor and verify the credentials well before committing yourself to a treatment using the therapy.

The pensions market is changing rapidly. In recent years there has been a seemingly endless flow of new pensions regulations, schemes plus new pension rules and the introduction of auto enrolment.
Fast and efficient access to accurate data is essential if pension administrators are to provide the best possible service to scheme members. Increasing regulatory pressure requires administrators to undertake costly bulk data exercises such as data cleansing or GMP Reconciliations. EDM can help to reduce this burden.

Living in Windsor
Windsor is diverse and community-oriented. Still small enough for hassle-free commutes and friendly neighborhood living, it's also home to a symphony orchestra, excellent schools, great restaurants (http://www.windsoreats.com), a vibrant festival calendar (http://www5.windsor-essex.info/cwe/calendar.nsf/searchform), and one of the best live-music venues (http://www.phoglounge.com) in Canada, as voted by CBC radio listeners. It is also Canada's fourth most diverse city per capita: you can expect a rich cultural mix to be part of your daily life. A medium-sized city, real estate is still very affordable, but quickly appreciating in value – it was recently identified as one of the top three real estate investment markets in Canada.
With mild winters, warm summers, and miles of waterfront, it's an exceptional location (http://visitwindsoressex.com/outdoor-adventure) for kayaking, canoeing, and other water sports nearly all year round, and swimming in the summer. City parks and trails (http://visitwindsoressex.com/outdoor-adventure/cycling), as well as easy riding terrain further afield, offer plenty of scope for cyclists and runners, while inexpensive courses and clubs offer golfers and tennis players plenty of choice. Its role as a key resting place for all sorts of migratory species make the local Point Pelee (http://www.pc.gc.ca/eng/pn-np/on/pelee/index.aspx), and also your backyard, a great place for bird and butterfly watching (http://visitwindsoressex.com/outdoor-adventure/birding). Fantastic national and provincial parks (http://www.ontarioparks.com/park-locator) on both Lake Erie and Lake Huron are easily accessible for camping and hiking. An unpretentious and lively locavore culture makes the most of the region's lush growth, family farming, farmer's markets (http://www.weheartlocal.ca), organic produce, community-supported agriculture initiatives (http://windsorcsa.blogspot.ca) and vineyards (http://www.essexcountywineries.ca).

Things Windsor has to Offer
7. Farmer's Market
Windsor is right across the river from Detroit (http://visitdetroit.com/) whose skyline Windsorites enjoy every day. The amenities of big-city living, from a world-class art gallery (http://www.dia.org) and symphony (http://www.dso.org), to championship-winning professional sports teams, to fine dining, festivals, and performance venues, are literally minutes away. It's a highly affordable city, and Windsorites enjoy fast, easy access to all its amenities: the bridge and tunnel take you directly into Detroit's downtown core.
It's a unique opportunity to experience the fascinating post-industrial city of Detroit – a city that is famously becoming one of the greatest, most challenging, and most intriguing urban laboratories in the world. From urban farming to community activism to micro-businesses to its growing community of young urban graduates from across the US, Detroit is transforming before our eyes. Windsor is a great place to be part of that, or just to watch it unfold. Other American cities are also an easy drive, from Ann Arbor and Toledo, only 45 minutes away, to places a little further afield – you can be in cities like Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati, or Columbus in 3-5 hours. The easily accessible train station and airports make travel very convenient.

Texas CHL Laws Changed - Gals-n-Guns No Longer Certified to Teach CHL Classes
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 22 January 2014 17:14
- Written by Christine
I have to inform you with a heavy heart that I am no longer certified to teach CHL classes in the state of Texas. No, I didn't lose my license.
I chose not to renew it due to new legislation that would require me to get additional training to be a handgun instructor. When I say additional training I do not mean the required State class and handgun proficiency requiring me to shoot with 90 percent accuracy and passing a test that shows I know the laws. I don't have a problem with that at all.
I have been an insturctor for years now and was blown away to find out that I would not qualify to renew my insturctors license if I didn't take a handgun instruction course from a handful of approved schools. Of course top of the state's list was the NRA. I will not give any of my hard earned money to the NRA. They fund political campaigns with their funds and they have many times recently funded campaigns of people that are neither freedom loving nor gun loving. Harry Ried would be a perfect example of this. It was due to this that my whole family and many of our friends dropped our NRA memberships and opted to look for other gun right organizations. I will not fund any organization that would give money to anyone that I would not give money to otherwise. It's just pricniple.
This requirement came out of this last legistative session. I followed the gun bills pretty closely and yet did not learn of this change until after the law had passed. They did not grandfather in previously certified instructors. It was either do it or don't get your license. I believe there was a little handwashing between the NRA and the State.
The bottom line is I am no longer licensed to teach CHL classes. The money from the classes is not a big deal but I will really miss teaching many of the wonderful people that I would have met in the classes. I hope another person in our area will take on teaching elederly on a one on one basis so they will continue to take the steps necessary to learn to defend themselves against the bottom feeders of society.
I will continue to encourage all people but especially women and elderly to learn to defend themselves and the importance of passing on the skills and respect to the next generation.
Instructor Questions
In order to become a certified CHL instructor, you must meet all the eligibility criteria under the Texas Government Code, §411.172 and §411.190. This includes proof you are currently certified to instruct others in the use of handguns (firearm instructor) as listed below:
- Certified by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education (TCLEOSE) as a firearm instructor - supporting documentation includes a copy of your TCLEOSE firearm instructor certificate. (Must be a firearm instructor, basic instructor is not sufficient.)
- Certified under the Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 1702, (Private Security Act) as a firearm instructor – supporting documentation includes a copy of the Private Security instructor registration.
- Certified by the National Rifle Association of America (NRA) as a firearm instructor – supporting document includes a copy of certificate of training and a copy your unexpired NRA credentials. ( Must be certified to instructor handgun/pistol)
- Proof of graduation from a handgun instructor school that uses a nationally accepted course designed to train persons as handgun instructors. (Applicants under this section must regularly instruct others in the use of handguns.)
