Very, nice excellent packing
By art tee

Comments about Clear Acrylic Sheets For Framing:
I would put 4.5 stars if I could. Price is great, excellent packing. My first panel had this air bubble and shadow defect.Blick had the replacement sent on 3 day delivery at no additional cost. Can't blame them for the above defect which was from the manufacturer. It wasn't easily visible until the protective layer was removed. Due to the excellent packing both panels were undamaged from shipping several thousand miles.
Very Nice Glazing Option
By Tally Joyce
from Tallahassee, FL
I was really delighted with how easy this product was to use in framing my watercolors. You need to be sure you are working on a flat, uncluttered surface, and that you stay focused when handling the acrylic panel. You want to be sure you don't install it backwards. Really, it is very simple, and the results are quite professional and pleasing to the eye. I am very happy with the results and intend on ordering more of these.
Good quality but not for all applications
By NWdianed
from Seattle, WA
Yes, these have that annoying "no-glare" finish. I needed to replace glass with plexi in a framed piece for a gallery show that required it. I thought it would work for my framing job but I ended up going to my local framer and getting them to cut me a piece of clear acrylic instead, for a comparable price. I think this stuff works ok for "household" framing but to me it doesn't look professional enough to use for shows. Maybe would be good for bold colorful work but for fine-lined etching it obscures too much for my taste. That being said, if you are ok with the matte finish these are good quality. They come with film on both sides and it's easy to peel and pop onto your picture with no dust, scratches, etc.
Summer Art Camp program a success with Dick Blic

Exactly what we needed
Nice product, but didn't meet my needs

The acrylic sheets were not thick enough for my project but I will use them for something else I'm sure.
Excellent quality and exciting value!
By Annie the Artist
from Tomah, WI
The acrylic sheets fit perfectly in the frames I choose. The acrylic sheets weren't damaged and arrived exactly in the condition I expected them to be.

Great replacements for frames!
By Ms. Paints
from Raleigh, NC
We have 60 frames around our school that needed replacement plexi glass. This was an easier and affordable alternative to getting plexi sheets cut at the hardware store.
Nice Sheets for Framing
By bjtalbott
from Burtonsville, Maryland
I always frame my own work. I was purchasing the acrylic sheets at another art supply and had a coupon at Dick Blick so I thought I'd try these. So glad I did! These are so much more substantial then those I purchased elsewhere. Very pleased! Will only buy these.
False Description
By soup
from Watertown MA
The description of this product is CLEAR Acrylic when in fact it has a matt finish that you cant see through. Anther false description is that it states that the product works as a good glass replacement. If you cant see through it how is it a good glass replacement?
Worked well
By Museum Art Teacher
from Texas
We used these for drypoint prints and it worked well. They were a little thinker than what I needed but the projects went well.

More Than GDP: Measuring What Matters
Author: Round Table on Measuring Economic Performance and Social Progress in Scotland
Year: 2011
Report Of The Roundtable On Measuring Economic Performance And Social Progress In Scotland
This report explores the complex issues hidden behind two simple questions: what is progress and what is prosperity?
It argues that GDP is an insufficient and misleading measure of whether life in Scotland is improving or not. The report takes the findings of the 2009 Stiglitz Report, which emerged from the Commission set up by President Sarkozy to advise on how better to measure economic performance and social progress. It recommends that the new Scottish Government applies these to creating a performance framework better able to deliver, measure and report on economic performance, quality of life, sustainability and well-being. The report also shows that over-reliance on GDP as a measure makes it difficult for politicians to back policies that are good for society or the environment if they might hamper an increase in GDP.

Sep 9, 2012 at 4:30 pm #1293900
My wife and I just returned from 4 days backpacking in the Pasayten Wilderness of Washington State. Weather can be quite variable in this area and it can snow any day of the year. Most of the hiking(on this trip) was at 6000 feet or higher and mostly out in exposed areas.
We've been hiking in this area for 40 years or so and at the end of the trip we concluded it was the best weather we have ever experienced in the area. How do these condition compare to your definition of perfect weather.
Temps in 30-70F range
Sunny days and clear nights
Almost no mosquitoes (by product of weather and time of year)
No wind
No thunder and lightning
No rain or snow
Almost no people (just thought I'd throw this in)What more could a person ask for?
Sep 9, 2012 at 5:31 pm #1910686That would be my definition with maybe lows in the high 20's and highs below 70 but that would be splitting hairs.
Sep 9, 2012 at 6:10 pm #1910697"Sunny days and clear nights"
I prefer cloudy days and clear nights, but other than that seems about perfect.
Sep 9, 2012 at 6:52 pm #1910706Perfect weather is any weather I get in the Rocky Mountains.
Sep 9, 2012 at 7:54 pm #1910728New Mexico high country mid October.
Sep 9, 2012 at 8:05 pm #1910731My favorite weather on any trip was Big Sur in December. It was like 60 degrees the whole time, hiked in a t-shirt and never overheated or got too cool. The last night it poured like crazy, but we were under some massive redwoods and didn't even need to stay in our shelters.
Sep 9, 2012 at 8:18 pm #1910736Douglas,
What is it about cloudy days that you like? Just curious. No right or wrong here.
Sep 9, 2012 at 8:26 pm #1910739"What is it about cloudy days that you like?"
Just never have been a sun guy. I burn easily, and the sun hurts my eyes.
Sep 9, 2012 at 10:03 pm #1910767Douiglas,
"I burn easily, and the sun hurts my eyes"
That applies to me too. Come to think of it I like cloudy nights too because it is warmer.
The clear skies are a plus for me only indirectly. They (usually) let me know that rainy weather and lightning are not imminent.
Come to think of it I think I would prefer to have the temps stay at 65F or lower also.
It is good that we chatted. I'm learning more about myself through the eyes of others.
Sep 10, 2012 at 6:11 am #1910800"Come to think of it I like cloudy nights too because it is warmer."
I'll take a colder night for the magic of a star-filled sky. One of my favorite things about backpacking and getting as far away from light pollution as I can get (never all that easy on the east coast) — a sky packed to the horizons with stars.
Sep 10, 2012 at 8:06 am #1910826I rarely stick my head out of the tent after dark so a clear sky at night is not important to me. Come to think of it I'd actually like some rain at night to settle the dust on the trail.
Sooooo, with input and some reflection I've decided that my original description of perfect weather needs some modification.
I still don't like wind or lightning.
Thanks for the help.

Abu Dhabi's Taqa Posts Quarterly Net on Lower Costs, Taxes
Anthony DiPaolaAbu Dhabi National Energy Co., the state-controlled utility known as Taqa, swung to profit in the third quarter as operating costs and income taxes fell.
Net income was 146 million dirhams ($39.8 million), compared with a year-earlier loss of 288 million dirhams, the company said today in a statement to the Abu Dhabi stock exchange. Revenue declined 16 percent to 7.4 billion dirhams.
Taqa has stakes in businesses generating power and producing crude oil and natural gas in the Middle East, North Sea, India and North America. It expanded last year by adding oilfield operations in northern Iraq and buying U.K. crude deposits from BP Plc. Taqa cut costs last quarter mainly at operations in Canada, where gas prices have been below its expectations, Chief Financial Officer Stephen Kersley said.
"The price realizations in Canada are not where we'd hoped they'd be," motivating the company to cut costs there, Kersley said in a telephone interview today. "We've done that by focusing our capital program and focusing it on the areas where we see most profitability."
The utility cut operating costs by 38 percent to 3.3 billion dirhams, it said in the statement. Tax fell to 230 million dirhams from 767 million dirhams a year earlier.
Taqa, which won approval in October from authorities in Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdish region to develop a field there, shifted some staff from operations in Canada to areas including Iraq, Chief Executive Officer Carl Sheldon told reporters on a conference call today.
North Sea
Revenue from oil and gas rose 35 percent to 3.45 billion dirhams on higher crude and gas prices, the company said. Power and water sales fell to 2.6 billion dirhams from 4.9 billion dirhams. Increased sales from oilfields in the North Sea helped boost revenue, Kersley said.
"In the North Sea, it's been more a volume story than a price story," Kersley said. A U.K. tax charge taken in the third quarter last year on Taqa's assets there wasn't repeated, helping boost profit, he said.
Gas on the New York Mercantile Exchange sold at an average of $3.55 per million British thermal units during the third quarter, compared with $2.89 per million BTU a year earlier, Taqa said. The quarterly average for European benchmark Brent crude rose 62 cents to $110.04 a barrel, Taqa said.
Capital Spending
The company will keep capital spending at about $2 billion a year, Kersley said. Taqa is investing in the Atrush field in the Kurdistan region of Iraq with the aim of starting production in 2015, while it deferred any investment decision on a proposed coal-fired power plant in Turkey, Sheldon said. The company isn't planning additional acquisitions and will focus on "digesting" the assets it bought in the North Sea, he said.
Taqa plans to refinance a $1.2 billion bond due next year by selling new debt within the next six months, Kersley said. He declined to comment further on bond pricing or potential timing for a sale. The company will use future cash flows from operations like the crude oil fields it acquired in the North Sea and Iraq to pay down future debt, he said.
"To the extent that we've got surplus cash coming in, that would be prioritized towards paying down debt as opposed to further investment," Kersley said.

Why You Might Be Choking Under Pressure (and How to Deal)
You know the feeling: You're giving a huge presentation in front of the most influential people in the company. You've spent weeks working on your speech and days putting together your slides. And then the worst possible thing happens: You completely forget everything you were supposed to say.
"Choking" is super common. But have you ever wondered why people who are extremely competent and good at their jobs choke under pressure?
Science has some answers.
Sian Beilock, a psychologist at the University of Chicago, explains that top performers are more likely to choke due to their higher levels of "cognitive horsepower" or working memory. Think of your brain as a mental to-do list: You have a lot of things you need to check off, but when all sorts of other clutter finds its way into your life, it's harder to get those tasks done. In the case of choking, your brain gets so overpowered with worries and pressures that you can't stick to the basic agenda at hand.
In her experiment, Beilock created two groups—a higher working memory group and a lower working memory group—and group members were each given a set of easy math problems and harder ones. These groups were split into two different scenarios: one low-pressure situation (taking a practice test) and a high-pressure situation (completing math problems but with the presumption that it was a competition with prizes and expectations).
While the higher working memory group came out on top in the low-pressure situation, adding on pressures seen in the typical office environment (competition, incentives, the works) even when answering simple math problems completely eliminated that advantage. These results gave the impression that they choked.
Why is this? High performers tend to overthink and over-analyze situations, especially when there's an important decision or task riding on their work. These moments screw up our internal "autopilot" mode, where we're repeating tasks we've already done time and time again. Going back to the idea of a mental to-do list, even if you've done your tasks before, new stresses on the brain (for example, being in front of a room of senior-level executives) can mess with your "action items" and make everything seem mushy.
Looking to keep it together when you're in a high-pressure scenario? Spend a great deal of time practicing your craft beforehand. If you don't want to completely break down on that speech you're giving in front of the company's board of trustees, practice giving your speech to other co-workers and even friends. This will help you access that autopilot mode when the time comes, even if you aren't totally operating mindlessly.
And if you do find yourself falling apart? Getting back on track can be as easy as taking a few deep breaths—or squeezing your left hand, which activates the left hemisphere of your brain.
But no matter what you try, the old saying is true: Keep calm and carry on.

Julia Roberts is attached to star in Second Act, a workplace comedy set up at New Regency. According to THR, the plot centers on "a woman who has never worked and is forced to to take a job." The project is still searching for a writer and director; Roberts will produce alongside Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, Trudie Styler, and Celine Rattray.
After a solid hit in 2010 with Eat Pray Love, Roberts is coming off the critical and commercial failure Larry Crowne, and heading into the very risky territory of the fairy tale farce Mirror, Mirror (the first trailer induces shudders). The logline for Second Act isn't especially promising, but that famous smile can work wonders with a simple premise. In the coming weeks, we'll see if this becomes Roberts' next movie. Roberts is also attached to August: Osage County with Meryl Streep and another collaboration with Eat Pray Love director Ryan Murphy, among other projects.
Julia Roberts is heading back to work.
The actress is attached to produce and star in Second Act, a New Regency workplace comedy project in development. Roberts will produce via her Red Om Films label, along with her former agent and producing partner Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas. Trudie Styler and Celine Rattray and their Maven Pictures label are involved as producers as well.
PHOTOS: Julia Roberts, Lily Collins Enchant in Relativity's 'Mirror Mirror':
The project, which does not have a writer or director on board, centers on a woman who has never worked and is forced to to take a job.
Roberts is becoming a bit more active as an actress. She co-toplined Larry Crowne with Tom Hanks this past summer and next stars as the Evil Queen in Relativity's Snow White movie, Mirror Mirror, set for release in March.
Since Arnon Milchan took over the reigns of Regency and hired CEO Brad Weston, the company has been on the move, boarding the Mark Wahlberg project Broken City and snagging the rights to Jim Henson's Fraggle Rock. The company also is funding a new Alejando Gonzalez Inarritu movie, The Revenant.

If you've picked up any September magazine that includes book reviews or recommendations, you have likely seen a spread about Laura Lamont's Life in Pictures -- and with good reason! Emma Straub takes the Hollywood of black and white pictures and renders it in vivid, life-like color, giving readers a glimpse of both the glory and the heartache of stardom.
Despite living in beautiful and idyllic Door County, Wisconsin, Elsa's sister Hildy wants nothing more than to leave home and see the world beyond Wisconsin. The girls' father runs a theater in the summer; actors come from across the country to perform for tourists on their stage and have always been a part of the girls' lives. Then comes the summer of 1929. Hildy is entranced by a handsome young actor and gives her heart to him, completely. When he turns out to be not the man she believes he is, Hildy cannot handle the betrayal and gives up completely on all of her dreams.
Nine years later, Elsa is a teenager and finds herself married to another actor from her father's stage, traveling to Los Angeles so they can both make it big in Hollywood. It isn't that Laura is in love with Gordon, but she feels driven to live the life that Hildy always dreamed of and now can no longer have. A child conceived shortly after their arrival temporarily waylays Elsa's dreams, but Gordon's success gives Elsa a chance meeting with legendary producer Irving Green. It is Green who gives Elsa the new name of Laura Lamont, Green who launches her career -- it is Green who makes Laura Lamont a star.
Although Laura Lamont's Life in Pictures is infused with old Hollywood glamor, Laura herself is given a depth rarely seen on a movie screen. She is both Laura and Elsa, Hollywood and Wisconsin, and the tension between these two identities -- along with the issues of family and sisterhood it raises -- continues to haunt Laura throughout her life, even in her most glamorous moments.
Laura Lamont's Life in Pictures is sure to be one of the most talked about and beloved books of the fall. Pick it up, discuss it with your friends, read it with your book club. Your conversation is sure to end with someone asking if Straub has another book coming out any time soon. There is likely not a novel close enough on the horizon to satisfy this desire for more, but if after Laura Lamont's Life in Pictures you can't get enough of Emma Straub, her story collection Other People We Married is out now in paperback.

Policies and Procedures for direct Central Bank participation in the primary markets for government securities, where permitted, and in the secondary market. The policy for the Bank of Jamaica's participation in Government of Jamaica securities is as follows: Only Jamaica Dollar denominated securities are bought or sold. The institution does not participate in offers where GOJ securities are |
Participation in primary offers : this is done in open subscription offers (FIFO). Under Section 37 of the Bank of Jamaica Act, the Bank is permitted in any financial year to purchase or otherwise acquire, on a primary issue, securities issued or guaranteed by the Government of a nominal value up to forty (40) per cent of the estimated expenditure of the Government in that financial year. Current policy is that the Bank's participation is limited to reinvestment of maturing principal proceeds. The Bank reinvests in instruments that are on offer to the market at the time and therefore the terms to the Bank are identical to that offered to the market. To expedite the reinvestment, written communication is sent from the Central Bank to the Debt Management Unit (DMU), Ministry of Finance & Planning (MOFP) confirming the decision to reinvest and the terms of the market instrument The Head of the DMU signs in agreement and later issues the relevant certificate(s) to the Bank. The conduct of secondary trades : the purchase of GOJ securities on the secondary market is primarily from commercial banks and primary dealers to assist these institutions when faced with Jamaica Dollar liquidity constraints. The transaction is always initiated by the institution that is in need of liquidity and the Bank prices the instrument at current market rates. Upon acceptance of the price by the institution, the deal is confirmed and the institution delivers the certificate(s) of the instrument being sold and supporting documents to the Central Bank. The Central Bank then credits the account of the institution held at the BOJ with the proceeds from the purchase. GOJ securities held by the Central Bank may be sold as part of the Bank's monetary policy operations. The decision to sell securities is taken by the Operating Targets Committee. All BOJ primary dealers are contacted via telephone and are informed of the instrument being sold and the terms thereof. Upon confirmation of the deal, the primary dealer issues instruction to the Bank to debit their account at the BOJ as payment for the instrument. Acting on behalf of the primary dealer, the BOJ submits the relevant certificate and supporting documents to the DMU, MOFP to effect the transfer. After the transfer of the security has been effected, the DMU issues the certificate for the nominal amount sold by the BOJ to the primary dealer. |
setting interest rates to keep inflation low
contributing to a stable financial system
controlling our currency
The Bank of Jamaica, established by the Bank of Jamaica Law (1960), began operations in May 1961, terminating the Currency Board System which had been in existence from 1939.
The Central Bank stands at the center of the local financial system and is charged with the responsibility to promote and maintain financial system stability. To achieve this objective, the Bank supervises the activities of deposit-taking entities. In addition, the Bank seeks to promote the development of the local financial markets, and regulates and supports the major clearing and settlement systems.
Under the Bank of Jamaica Act (1960), the conduct of monetary policy is aimed at regulating the growth of money and credit in line with the resources expected to finance economic activity and generate employment, without undermining the conditions of price stability.
The Foreign Exchange section provides current and historical information on the movements of major currencies in relation to the Jamaican dollar. The section also provides powerful search techniques for users to manipulate the data and generate customize reports.

US labour news headlines from LabourStart
Small Union, Big Power Struggle
By Eric Hartley The Capital Published 01/01/12
They had a deal.
In the summer of 2009, county sheriff's deputies would get a 3 percent raise, plus another 4 percent raise for everyone with satisfactory performance ratings.
But in the heart of a recession, County Executive John R. Leopold decided such generous contracts, signed a couple of years earlier, didn't work any more.
The county asked unions to reopen negotiations and take smaller raises. Some agreed. The deputies, part of Teamsters Local 355, did not.
"Either take our deal, which basically cuts you by 4 percent, or we're going to cut you by 7 percent," said Denis Taylor, the local Teamsters president. "So it was basically strong-arm tactics by Leopold and his administration. We were not going to have any of it."
The county did it anyway.
Despite the contract, the County Council unanimously passed Leopold's emergency bill keeping the deputies' salaries the same as the year before. The first paycheck after July 1, 2009, arrived, and there were no raises.
The union immediately filed a grievance, then filed for arbitration when the county rejected the grievance. The county refused to participate, despite binding arbitration also being part of the contract. So the union sued.
A judge sided with the union, ordering arbitration in 2010. The county appealed, and last week, a state appeals court ruled for the union again.
This was never really about money. The union's 58 members are a fraction of the hundreds in the police officers' and firefighters' unions. The year's worth of pay increases at issue would have cost only about $75,000, less than the union has spent on legal fees, Taylor said.
For both sides, it was about principle and what they saw as fairness.
The county thought all employees should have to share the pain in tough times.
"We treated everybody the same way," County Attorney Jonathan Hodgson said.
As a moral argument, that might work. As a legal one, not so much.
The union saw fairness a different way. Deputies understood they'd have to make concessions in their next contract. But a deal is a deal.
"The county was going through rough times," said Deputy Dave Belisle, the chief shop steward for the union. "When our contract expired, it'd have been our turn in the barrel to take a hit."
But for the county to unilaterally change the deal? Taylor said he'd never seen anything like it in more than 20 years with the union local, which represents 6,000 workers in 90 organizations.
"If this was a private employer and they had acted similarly ... the labor board would have been all over them," Taylor said.
The county was just ahead of the curve. While this lawsuit has proceeded, the role and very existence of public-sector unions have come under attack.
New governors in New Jersey, Ohio, Wisconsin and other states have taken attacking unions as a sort of populist mission, as if teachers and police officers are getting rich at the expense of struggling taxpayers.
It's become mainstream to wonder whether government employees should have the right to unionize at all.
Belisle called the county's breaking its word "a form of union-busting," a way to show who's in charge.
"I don't get it," he said. "All of a sudden county employees became the bad guy."
The county has fought to roll back union rights in subtler ways, resisting an effort by park rangers to join the Teamsters and suggesting they join a different union. (Perhaps because the Teamsters don't play ball.) The rangers won and joined the Teamsters.
Several unions are suing the county over a new law that takes away the right to binding arbitration. A judge sided with the county, but the ruling's being appealed.
In the deputies' case, Taylor said he expects the county to keep resisting even if the arbitrator rules for the union. Hodgson said the attorney handling the case was out of the office and he was unsure how the county will proceed.
Maybe you think the deputies should have been willing to compromise. But a contract has to mean something.
During arguments in Circuit Court, Assistant County Attorney William Dickerson said such salary agreements only apply after the money has been put in the budget. In other words, a union can have a contract, but the county gets the final say.
"If that were the case," Judge Philip Caroom asked, "wouldn't it make that provision in the collective bargaining agreement meaningless?"
Yes, it would.
The county also argued its broken promise isn't subject to arbitration - and that arbitration would be futile anyway - because no one can order the executive and County Council how to spend money.
Even if an arbitrator ruled for the union, the case would be right back in court, Dickerson said.
A Court of Special Appeals panel rejected that notion, saying an arbitrator can award damages for breach of contract. If it couldn't, there would be no point to binding arbitration.
With a level of frankness unusual in court rulings, the unanimous judges said the county's argument "has no merit."

We Are eXPOsing XPO's Global Greed
XPO Logistics is a top ten global logistics and transportation company with annual revenue of $15 billion and 89,000 employees, another 10,000 workers classified as independent contractors, and thousands more working for firms that subcontract with XPO. We are the REAL workers at XPO Logistics worldwide exposing the truth about the company's global greed, illegal wage theft, unsafe conditions, and abhorrent and vicious anti-worker, anti-union tactics.
This greed includes mistreating former Con-way Freight workers in the United States who are being kept in the dark about terminal closures and layoffs, and the company's illegal refusal to bargain contracts and denying their workers' federally protected right to organize. It also includes port, rail and last-mile drivers around the country and in Southern California fighting wage theft in excess of $200 million because they are misclassified as independent contractors and denied the right to form their union. This greed has caused numerous lawsuits and strikes. Greed also means an unsafe workplace and mistreating its warehouse employees.
XPO's greed extends to Europe beginning with breaking its promise to not layoff any workers for at least 18 months. French workers and the unions have been fighting back against XPO's disrespect, lies and attempts to slash jobs. Similar struggles are taking place in Great Britain, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, and across Europe.
Join the worldwide struggle now! Get involved with this campaign by joining the Facebook group "XPO Exposed."
Together, we can eXPOse the company's global greed and win fairness, respect and dignity for tens of thousands of XPO employees around the world!

Negotiations for the National Master Automobile Transporters Agreement (NMATA) recently concluded and a tentative agreement has been reached. On Thursday, Feb. 16, 2017 representatives from carhaul local unions met in Detroit to endorse the National Agreement and the Central-Southern Supplement, paving the way for members to vote. The Eastern and Western Supplements were approved in 2016, and will not be re-voted. However, all carhaul members will get to exercise their right to vote on the National Agreement and General Monetary Changes.
Ballots will be mailed out on or about March 10 and are tentatively scheduled to be counted on March 30.
The tentative agreement is from September 1, 2015, until May 31, 2021.

The Teamsters Union represents more than 250,000 members at UPS and UPS Freight. UPS remains an active member of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) despite the organization's anti-worker and anti-union agenda that seeks to undermine and weaken worker protections.
This web page provides information on our fight against fast-track legislation. The measure requires Congress to take only a quick up-or-down vote on secret trade deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership and does not allow such agreements to be amended. It limits Congress' constitutionally mandated oversight of such trade deals and lets others decide what's best for America. The result is fewer good-paying U.S. jobs and unsafe food and products for Americans. Read more to find out why fast track is the wrong track for Teamsters and America.
Workers across the country at FedEx Freight and Con-way Freight are standing shoulder to shoulder to form their unions with the Teamsters to win a more secure future. Momentum is building with a first wave of victories with many more to come.
There is growing worker resentment toward the companies after years of being treated unfairly. While the companies have suddenly made improvements since workers began to organize, workers know that without a legally binding contract the company can take these things away at any time.
The unfulfilled promises that have been made to drivers and dockworkers over the past decade are coming back to haunt management.
But now workers are taking action and standing up for themselves by forming their union. It's a different era now. It's Teamster Time! LIKE our Facebook page, here.
Teamsters are been standing together to protect good jobs at Sysco and US Foods. Our solidarity on many fronts helped to defeat the mega-merger of the two companies, which would have put thousands of jobs at risk. But challenges remain as both companies refine their plans.

"While we are not going to speculate on reports that Pakistan may look to purchase used F-16s elsewhere, we would note that under US law, any re-transfers of US-origin defence items to a third party require approval from the US Government, may require Congressional notification, and would be subject to end-use monitoring," a State Department official told reporters. Latest News from World News Desk
The official, who requested anonymity, was responding to a question on reports that Pakistan is considering buying used F-16 jets from Jordan after its plan to buy eight of them from the US at a highly subsidised rates fell through because of the opposition from lawmakers in the US Congress who want Islamabad to take strong action against the Haqqani network.
"The proposed terms and conditions of the Letter of Offer and Acceptance for this proposed sale of F-16 aircraft expired on May 24," the official said. "Pakistan did not accept the offer to purchase F-16s from the United States, and the terms of the sale have expired," another State Department official told reporters.
"We are now going for a third-party transfer of F-16s and have an offer from Jordan," Pakistan Defence Secretary Alam Khattak had said last week.
"We refer you to the Government of Pakistan to speak to their decision and future defence procurement plans," the US official said when asked about Khattak's statement.
The official was not aware if the US has received such a request from Jordan and Pakistan. However, it is believed that there could be options for Pakistan to explore the possibility of procuring F-16 from the United States at its full price.
The earlier proposal of eight F-16s to Pakistan at an estimated cost of USD 699 million was heavily subsidised, to which the US lawmakers led by Senator Bob Corker, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee had objected.
Informed sources argue that if Pakistan wants to pursue the sale, it could start a fresh talk with Lockheed Martin – the manufacturer – and negotiate a new full price for the F-16s it wants to buy.

okay route
worth doing if you have the time. the first 20' are awesome, the next 20' are still pretty good, but the end sucks and the rock quality really detracts from the route. however, the difficulty eases and the pro is solid, so the last few moves, although on bad rock, arent too stressful.

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. -- Marcos Ambrose missed his daughter's first day of school. She probably won't mind.
The snakebitten Ambrose, deprived more than once of a NASCAR victory, beat Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch on a two-lap dash to the checkered flag Monday to win the rain-delayed Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen International.
It was his first victory in 105 starts in NASCAR's top series and atoned for a slip-up a year ago on the road course at Sonoma, when he stalled his car under caution while leading with six laps to go and finished sixth.
"I've tried for 2 1/2 years," Ambrose said. "We're going to go onward and upward from here. It's a proud day."
Ambrose has won all three Nationwide races he's entered at Watkins Glen, and in three previous Cup starts here, he notched one second and two thirds, including an impressive drive from last to third in 2008.
Finally pulling into Victory Lane was a feeling like no other.
"This is almost surreal," the affable Australian said in his No. 9 Ford for Richard Petty Motorsports after crossing the finish line.
Ambrose signed a multiyear deal with struggling RPM a year ago. That capped a tumultuous summer in which he opted to leave the No. 47 at JTG Daugherty Racing at the end of 2010 with one year left on his contract, even though he knew he was taking a big risk in difficult economic times.
"There were days, weeks when I was anxious," Ambrose said. "There were times I was sitting around the boardroom table and there was nobody else there. But you've got to roll the dice sometimes."
It was Ford's first victory at Watkins Glen since Geoff Bodine won here in 1996 and the 15th different winner in Cup races this year.
Busch, trying to win a second time from the pole at Watkins Glen, led the field to the green flag for the final two laps. But Keselowski, racing with a broken left ankle and trying for his second straight win and third of the season, dove from third to the lead entering the first turn with Ambrose also streaking past Busch.
"Those guys didn't care to give me any room," said Busch, who finished second to brother Kurt here in Saturday's Nationwide race. "There's only one corner you've got to make, and as soon as you make it through that corner and can keep everybody behind, it's smooth sailing from there."
Ambrose then closed on Keselowski and passed him for the lead before the final lap.
"I wanted to win," said Keselowski, who has the first wild card for the Chase and moved up four spots in the standings to 14th. "We had a shot at it, and that's all you can ask as a driver."
Busch finished third, and Martin Truex Jr. and Joey Logano rounded out the top five.
Kevin Harvick was sixth, followed by defending race winner Juan Pablo Montoya, AJ Allmendinger, Jeff Burton and Jimmie Johnson.
Kurt Busch, who won at Sonoma in June, crashed early and finished 38th. He wasn't alone: Denny Hamlin, who entered the day 11th in points, also crashed and finished 36th; five-time Watkins Glen winner Tony Stewart, who ran up front all race, was taken out on the final lap and finished 27th; and Paul Menard, also in the hunt for a spot in the Chase, brought out the race-changing caution when he crashed on the 86th lap and finished 32nd.

This 2014 Decca release of two famous Russian piano concertos, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor and Sergey Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 3 in C major, cannot be faulted for a lack of practice, because Behzod Abduraimov has played these works on numerous occasions. In 2009, he won the London International Piano Competition with his fiery reading of the Prokofiev, and in 2014 he took the Tchaikovsky on tour internationally, so there's only a question of how fresh the playing can be after numerous performances. Chalk it up to youthful resilience or personal charisma, but Abduraimov shows abundant energy and brilliance, qualities that aren't worn down by the physical demands of these works. If anything, he appears to relish the opportunity to play them with different conductors and orchestras, each time giving his all in collaborative efforts that have won critical praise everywhere he has performed.
This concerto includes Prokofiev's Classical Symphony No.1 and Tchaikovsky's piano concerto No.1 featuring Evgeny Kissin. Karajan is in very good mood despite the pain in his back that kept him leaning back (instead of his customary forward position) in the special supporting device prepared for him in the conductor's podium.
Fazil Say's dynamic pianism has created quite a buzz, and his version of these two warhorses helps explain why. There's little anyone can add to what Richter, Gilels, Argerich, and others have revealed about the Tchaikovsky, but Say's flawless playing, big technique, and fetching sonorities are welcome. He rises to the big moments, of course, but he's best at conveying the poetry of a score whose proponents too often wallow in bombast…–Dan Davis
This volume from Praga's critically-acclaimed Richter Edition series features an audiophile SACD remastering of the great Russian pianist playing Tchaikovsky. The program pairs the composer's two most popular scores in performances by two uncontested Russian masters. This recording resurrects of one of Sviatoslav Richter;s rare encounters with one of the finest conductors of the 20th century, Yevgeny Mravinsky. Richter is heard in a fiery 1958 recording of the first Piano Concerto, while Mravinsky is featured in a 1956 recording of the Pathetique symphony. This is an indispensable release for anyone interested in these two legendary artists.
Although the U.S.S.R.'s system of identifying and training musically talented youngsters produced amazingly precocious pianists on a regular basis, Evgeny Kissin stood out from the rest for a talent far surpassing that of the usual Wunderkind. He has become, seemingly without difficulty, one of the finest adult pianists on the world's concert stages…

Title: Safe Time frame: Darksaber Disclaimer: I don't own SW's or these characters! Safe She wanted to see me! It shouldn't mean that much to me, but it does. Mara Jade actually admitted to wanting to see me! She went out of her way to see me. She could have just sent a message about the Hutts to me. Come off it. There is no reason I should be so happy over this. I saw her and Callista talking earlier. I hope Mara was jealous, just a bit… Wait. Why would Mara be jealous? Maras a friend, why do I hope she's jealous even a little? Secretly, I had been hoping she'd come to visit for a while now. I would find myself wondering what she was up too… There is something so easy about being with her. It's not like the strain I feel with Callista. Mara is just Mara. She says my name like it's a curse. I let her. She thinks I'm vain and conceited. I just smile relishing the fact there is still someone who could care less about all my accomplishments and just treat me like a person not the Jedi Master. If only she knew how much her sharp tongue can clear up questions I have like nothing else. I would be scared to ever let her know. It's so much easier to let her think that I have it all figured out. Safer. As much as I love Callista, I can't help but wonder if I let myself could I feel this way towards Mara? Something tells me I could, and it would be so easy to let myself. That's why I'll never let her see how much her visit today meant. That's why I stay the Jedi Master around her. Calm, collected, and seemingly in-human it's probably not right, but then again if she can have her mask why can't I? Because I know if Mara were to reject me…I'm not sure I would ever be able to live again.
Welcome! And woot! I like the I'm with Callista but I really am pining after Mara I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that was happening I'd adore it if this continued post Callista leaving - buya! and Luke finding out firsthand that Mara is hot - in several ways as in: better, best, bestest in all ways - emotionally Force-wise and getting it on with a zing! way! As in - rock his world Mara Jade LOL Ahem... my reputation probably proceeds me - I love mush. I eat it for breakfast. ~Jade_eyes
Luke, you are an idiot. This is why it is going to take ten years and a Force intervention to get the girl. Dump the cradle robbing, bodysnatching, Force-reanimated corpse and ask Mara out! I love this viggie! Well done!
Great viggie, LMB! Spot on! Though I guess that in canon, Luke wouldn't have been this much in contact with his own emotions
Luke should have asked her out YEARS ago. And Callista doesn't completely go away! She's gets absorbed by that monster from FotJ and Luke apparently insisted in setting her free without much thought for everyone else that had been absorbed.
Interesting story. I always wondered what was going through Luke's head when Mara and Callista had their little "meeting" at the acadamy.

Who Follows the Principles of Religion?
Sometimes people ask us, "Why are there so many religions? Hindu religion, Christian religion, Buddhist religion, Mohammedan religion." And we have to reply that, in fact, there is only one religion. There cannot be many religions because God is one, therefore His orders are one. Therefore religion is one. What is that religion? It is one principle—just as mathematics, either in Colombo, in Delhi, in London, in New York, or in San Francisco, two plus two is equal to four. The principle is one and the same. Similarly, either one follows the teachings of Christ, or one follows the teachings of Krishna, or Mohammed. The principles of religion are the same.more

"Freetimers have been a great help with increasing traffic to our website resulting in dramatically more enquiries and sales. The Freetimers staff are very knowledgeable and we are very pleased with their level of service.
Anthony Gurr "National Domelight Company
A couple of years ago we started receiving requests from clients and prospective clients that an Ebay Shop management system which allowed users to manage all their products and prices for both their website and their shops on Ebay, Amazon, Play, Google Base and more, would provide them with huge time savings, better profitability and better responsiveness to competition.
Their view was that the Ebay systems available on the market were generally very poor at managing products on their websites as well as Ebay, and that if we could develop a system that did both well, they would have it immediately. They said our website system was better than any of these systems, and if we had Ebay and other third party shop management as well, we would have a market leading product.
The Freetimers' approach is to help our clients with all aspects of the Internet, and business process improvement is a big one, because it helps our clients become increasing efficient, and therefore better able to service their clients and compete than their competition. We quickly developed a version of our product and ecommerce modules to incorporate third party shop management, so product pricing and description can quickly and easily be targeted at whatever retail channels are being used, from Ebay, Amazon and Play, to comparison sites and Google Base.
If you would like to find out more about our fully integrated system, please contact us for a free discussion to discuss your needs and how we can meet them, on 01604 638421.

Developed with palaeontologists, animal behaviour experts, biologists and Museum curators, Age of the Dinosaur is a unique journey through the three periods of the Mesozoic era - the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous.
Travelling back between 65 million and 250 million years, visitors are immersed in scientifically accurate habitats, witnessing the sights, sounds and smells of the world of the dinosaurs.
Featuring around 50 real specimens, lifelike models, full-scale animatronics and stunning film footage, Age of the Dinosaur paints an evocative picture and tells a compelling scientific story of a vital period in Earth's history.
As visitors enter the exhibition they will see the history of Earth presented on a large-scale timeline covering the Triassic period to the present day. They will then explore Jurassic specimens that reveal the climate, biodiversity and geography of that era.
An atmospheric underwater area depicts ocean life from the Jurassic period. Animals, fish and ammonites swim past as visitors see specimens from the deep close up.
There's also a Cretaceous period watering hole. Strange sounds fill the air and accurate recreations of trees, plants, animals and insects complete the sensory experience.
In a special discovery area, visitors can learn how our planet looked in the days of the dinosaurs. Here they can interact with exhibits, handle real specimens and experience the Museum's impressive scientific resources.
A fitting end
In the final part of the exhibition, visitors learn about the extinction of dinosaurs and travel forwards in time to the present day, before being asked to imagine what the world will be like in 65 million years. What kind of animals will roam the Earth then?
And, because no exhibition visit is complete without a browse of the gift shop, we also offer a wide range of fantastic dinosaur merchandise at wholesale prices.

- minimum 600m2 display area

Sonshine and I are going veggie. For a year, initially, but who knows. If we can stand the flatulence and not succumb to the bewitching lure of a bacon sandwich, we should be fine.
Bacon sandwich ...... *drools in manner of Homer Simpson*
It's not going to be easy, but I hope we'll have a bit of a laugh and get some new cooking skillz beneath our belts.
Coming over to The Year of Living Vegetarianously?
Hope to see you there!

Share another experience before you go.Stopped in after a week of backpacking in the mountains. Food was very good, nice people, best apple pie that I have had.
not like fast food----home cooked meal--very fast will be back again. really good German beer and lots of it
It may not look like much when you are driving by, but this is a great place to eat or spend the night. The food is good-Marla is a great cook and most of it is homemade, including daily desserts. She even has real coffee and espresso drinks. The rooms are basic but well equipped. They do not skimp here.... More
After soaking in the hot springs nearby, we were alittle hungry. Stopped in for great food, a nice, and helpful waitress. The owners are retiring so the restaurant, hotel, gas station is up for sale. Hope the new owners maintain this warm and quaint place in a small town.
When I tell my friends that we have a place to go in the mountains with amazing food, personal service, and a private hot springs in the back of our room, I make sure it's someone looking for a real Idaho. If you're looking for a spa and resort, this isn't it. This is better. Maria and Fred let you... More
A wonderful gem in Lowman with restaurant, gas station and 4 room lodge. We stayed two nights and enjoyed swimming in the natural hot spring swimming pool and enjoyed wonderful meals by the owner Fred and his wife Marla.
Fantastic place to stay. Friendliest people in Idaho and the food in the small resturant was out of this world. Marla and Fred deserve 10 stars which would be off the chart. Without a doubt, Me and my wife and our friends would go back in a heartbeat if we're ever in that part of the country again. You would... More
Marla and her husband are the owners and the only ones working the joint. You will not be disappointed by their breakfast!! The food is tasty, unique, and very reasonably priced. We strongly recommend their 100+ year-old sourdough starter pancakes!
We stayed at the Haven 3 nights for our anniversary weekend - it was very relaxing! We sat in the private hot tub out the back door of our room multiple times each day - and at night the view of the stars from the tub was beautiful! The bed was very comfortable and the owners are great! The food... More
Had the home made Pastrami sandwiches and they were very tasty....had to ask for some horseradish and our waitress was very sweet...glad we stopped.

Lamberts Pure Fish Oil 1100 mg 60 Capsules
These capsules contain a concentrated fish oil which provides a full 700mg of Omega 3's per capsule (many 1000mg fish oil products contain just 350mg of Omega 3's). This means that this product is one of the strongest available in the UK and is therefore widely recommended by practitioners. The fish oil undergoes a sophisticated purification process that ensures it is largely odour free, with levels of contaminants well below the strict EU maximum limits. The oil is then protected from oxidation while it is in the capsules by the inclusion of natural vitamin E. The most beneficial ingredients in fish oil are the two Omega 3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA. Research has shown that Omegas 3's play a vitally important part in maintaining our health and wellbeing and it is for this reason that fish oil supplements are regularly recommended by practitioners. The official recommendation by the DoH is that people should consume two portions of oily fish per week to obtain sufficient Omega 3's. This is good advice but one that is followed by relatively few people, and so the use of fish oil supplements is the best option for many. Daily intake: 1 to 3 capsules

FS: VF39, Uppipe, V8 JDM STI Cluster, Lotek 3-Gauge A-Pillar Pod, Stock Boost Gauge
This turbo came out of an 05 STI with less than 15k mi. on it. It has zero shaft play but has the typical crack on the hotside (refer to images attached below). I don't know how well it controlled boost but per the previous owner, it didn't seem to be an issue. I bought the turbo for a project but gave up on it midway. The other quirk with the turbo is that one of the hotside bolts is broken and is stuck in the housing (refer to images attached below). I was going to remove it but gave up halfway due to the failure in my project. If required, I think I can finish the job or have my machine shop take a look at it. It shouldn't be an issue anyways. Looking for best offer on this piece. Uppipe: SOLD This is a brand-new catless flex uppipe of unknown make. I am going to guess Tanabe but can't be quoted on it. If anyone wants to help out and chime in on its make, I'll greatly appreciate it. Its inner diameter seems to be a bit larger than most other uppipes I've come across. Looks beefy and if this piece doesn't sell, I might consider swapping it out for my Invidia one. Comes with a new header-to-uppipe gasket. Looking to get $105 shipped for this piece. V8 JDM STI (2005) Cluster : SOLD The cluster has less than 46,500 km (29,000 mi.) on it and is in good condition. It will fit all WRXs as far as I know but may require some slight modification. In terms of modification to fit, I know that 02-04 WRXs will need a tab to be shaved and a wire to be cut (5-minute job). I am not sure about 05+ WRXs; I think they don't require any modification at all but if anyone knows better, feel free to chime in. Looking to get $330 shipped for this piece. Lotek 3-Gauge A-Pod: SOLD Painted-to-match 60-mm pod for 02+ (as far as I know) WRX sedans. I had it on my 02 WRX for a few days and decided that A-piller gauge pods are not for me. It's pretty much brand new. I've managed to mount it in my car without having have to use the stock A-pillar piece by using two screws up top. This will save your stock A-piller piece from being hacked-up. Looking to get $60 shipped for this piece. Stock WRX Lamco Boost Gauge: SOLD Came with my car. It includes the steering-wheel mounted pod and gauge. Simple device and not much to say about it. Looking to get $40 for this piece. Clear 02/03 Side-markers: SOLD While these are eBay items, they are not the cheaper versions. They sell for $25 shipped on eBay and are of the "diffused" variety. Used them for a few weeks before getting some carbon fiber deletes. Looking to get $10 for them.

I just recently put a v8 JDM STi cluster into my 02 wrx. There is definitely no tab that I had to shave off. My car has been apart since I put it in, so it hasn't been run - so I don't know about cutting any wires... why is this necessary?

If you have an 04 cluster, then it is plug and play. If you have an 05 cluster, then you have to shave a tab and cut a wire to prevent your radio/clock fuse from popping. Both 04 and 05 STIs are V8s. |

My car is a bugeye. I have had both the 04 and 05 V8 clusters in them. What are your specific questions?
04 V8 clusters are pretty much plug and play unless you want to get the outside-temperature gauge going. 05 V8 clusters are almost plug and play. You will need to shave a tab on one of your connectors and cut a wire (or two depending on shift-buzzer). Both steps require 5 min. of your time total. Outside-temperature gauge will also require the same wiring as the 04 V8 cluster (or V7, I had that one too). PM me if you have other specific questions. Cheers. Gerald. |

Sci fi/Fantasy image by
John ByrdChildren of the Planes is a Role Playing Game Accessory Book wrote by Chris and Christina McCoy. ©Tangent Games. I had a lot of fun illustrating for the entire manuel which is very well written game material that DMs in any kind of Dungeons and Dragons Game can Use. This is a wrap around cover design that goes on the front and back which I'm also posting seperately and to show more detail in this piece of art. This is probably the most massive and detailed painting I've ever completed. The Scene is in a planar cross roads tavern where creatures from all corners of exsistance meet up for various reasons. I really took lots of time and thought in this work and tried to give it an otherwordly planar feel. Here everything is on an equal foot of sorts and you have creatures from the extremes of good and evil finding a common ground to reach the goals of their own ends. You want anything the Universe has to offer and you may just find it right here. I also want to note that any marks or writings are purely fictional and nonsensical and have no meaning. They are just there to ad to the flavor of the work.

中国の自動車ケア産業 Research Report on Auto Beauty Industry in China, 2014-2018 | ||
出版日: 2014年06月02日 | ページ情報: 英文 60 Pages |
Auto beauty consists of car washing, restoration of finishing paint, waxing, polishing, maintenance of tires and glass, and sales of automobile accessories.
The auto beauty industry originated from developed countries in early 1930s, representing the initial development of automobile after-market. After the Second World War, global economic growth led to rapid development of automobile industry, which promoted the development of auto beauty industry.
The auto beauty industry began to develop as auto CD players and car alarms were introduced into China in the 1990s. The industry gained further development as leather seats and bursting disks appeared on the market in 1995. Chinese economy develops rapidly after the reform and opening-up. The automobile industry surges after China joined WTO. The sales volume and production volume of automobiles in China maintained top of the world in 2009-2013. The auto beauty industry becomes increasingly popular as the number of automobiles, especially private cars, increases in China.
The civil automobile reserve was 137 million (including 10.58 million three-wheeled automobiles and low-speed trucks) by the end of 2013, which increased by 5.7 times from 24 million in 2003. The market size of auto beauty exceeded CNY 300 billion in China in 2013.
The most notable features of Chinese auto beauty market are the average small scale of enterprises, lack of funds and low brand awareness. Blind operations are adopted by domestic auto beauty enterprises. Chinese auto beauty market possesses uneven scales due to low barriers to operation and lack of regulations. Small-scale and low-end stores on roadsides continue to run with low standards.
Famous international auto beauty brands, such as Cinep and 3M, enter China and establish operation network of chains. On the contrary, domestic auto beauty enterprises lack competence due to the small scale. In China, few enterprises (chains or independent stores) can reach certain scale and establish famous brands.
Automobile owners pay more attention to auto beauty as resident incomes increase in China. Automobile is no longer the symbol of social status but a way to express personality as automobile industry develops in Chinese cities. The expansion of automobile industry into Chinese households brings great opportunities to auto beauty industry. According to CRI, the average expenditure on auto beauty is CNY 3,000 when Chinese consumers purchase the cars, while the annual expenditure exceeds CNY 2,000 afterwards. Over 70% of owners of luxurious cars (sales price higher than CNY 0.5 million) maintain the habit of auto beauty while over 30% of owners of low-end cars (sales price lower than CNY 0.1 million) begin to realize the importance of auto beauty.
According to statistics in developed countries, the proportion of profits in sales, part supply and auto service industry is 20%, 20% and 50%-60% respectively in a mature automobile market. The sales revenue of automobile service industry exceeds that of whole vehicles in the U.S. The annual value of production exceeds USD 300 billion in auto beauty industry in the U.S. The sales revenue exceeded CNY 5 trillion in Chinese automobile industry in 2013 while potential market size will exceed CNY 1 trillion if the proportion of sales revenue in auto beauty industry reaches 20%. The auto beauty industry enjoys huge potential for growth as the sales revenue and automobile reserve increase in China.

Today is the last day of Show and Tell Week for entertaining and serving pieces. I've had so much fun sharing my personal favorites with you all week, and I've saved my absolute favorite for last: Lenox Butler's Pantry 3-Part Divided Server.
Don't miss your chance to win a Belly Feathers surprise! Be sure to join in by sharing a photo of your favorite entertaining piece on Facebook by midnight Central Time tonight (10/22)! See bottom of post for details.
Photos just don't do this beauty justice! I waited almost a year to get her on back order from Belk, which is probably why I lover her so much. Maybe it was a case of "absence makes the heart grow fonder"! My heart just melts when I pull this out of my China cabinet. I love the darker cream on cream detailing, which all of the items in the Butler's Pantry line from Lenox have.
My husband and I registered for lots of Butler's Pantry pieces when we got married, as it was the only pattern of plates (China or everyday use) we could agree on. All of the pieces are a little different, as if a butler had collected cream-colored items through the years to fill his cabinets. There are a few different patterns of plates and bowls that you can mix and match to create an ensemble you love. I really like it because the pieces are pretty and still functional for everyday use. However, this server is huge and just too big to have an occasion to use very often.
I received it shortly before Christmas last year. Since we were doing a really small Christmas Eve dinner for just my husband, father-in-law, and me, it was a perfect size for serving turkey in the center and stuffing on either side. With so few of us, I didn't want to put the leaf in my dining room table, which left us little room to put the entire turkey on the table, so this 3-part divided server was perfect. Of course, I was so thrilled to use it, too!
Here's a shot of our humble yet delicious Christmas Eve feast.
We're doing a larger Thanksgiving this year, so I'll be using one of my large Butler's Pantry platters to put the entire bird on, and I think I'll use this divided server for stuffing on either side with mashed potatoes in the center. Mmmm! All this talk about food is making me hungry for the holidays!
Don't forget: Today is the last day of Show and Tell Week, so don't forget to share your favorite entertaining and serving pieces by midnight Central Time!
Don't Miss Your Chance to Win
Join in the fun on the Belly Feathers Facebook page by sharing a photo of your favorite entertaining or serving piece and a few lines about why you love it by Friday at midnight Central Time. On Saturday, I'll draw the name of someone who shares a photo to win a special surprise. Submit as many photos as you want for extra chances to win!
Show and Tell Week Details:
Sunday (10/17/2010) - Friday (10 /22/2010 midnight Central Time)
Share a picture and a few lines about your entertaining piece at facebook.com/BellyFeathers

Utah football spring practice day 9 report, Red Rocks prepare for nationals
04/09/2013 6:45pm
The Utes practiced outdoors in Rice-Eccles Stadium on Tuesday. It was about 40 degrees outside. That was fun.
From my vantage point it looked like it took the team a few reps to get warmed up in the cold as well.
