Wow, I just had a screw on cap on the 1 gallon container explode off and nail me in the eye..
How can this be considering its juice not soda?
Obviously the design is still faulty bring back the paper containers the stink..
Now after some blurred vision and headaches I have written to Tropicana advising them to be considered lucky its not a letter from my lawyer..
I decided to come on here after and read other peoples experiences..

Re: A Traditional Polish Christmas Eve

We observe Wigilia too. It is a tradition I remember from my childhood. What I am loving now is that my children are enjoying keeping the tradition alive. My oldest son has been learning how to make the traditional dishes, we have even made pierogies from scratch. We celebrated this year in Chicago where we can get wonderful "real" polish sausage. My other two sons are getting into the act too. It is really nice to have these kinds of traditions to share and as my sons are marrying, adding new family members into the joyous celebration. Yes family makes Christmas.

Chris Matthews should be at least runner up every year. He is probably not as happy with this award as he is abot Obama having his boyish grin back.

Hello, I found your website when searching for information about your uncle Ken Kogut. My condolences. I attended Hamilton College for just one year, back in 1985. Not long ago, I got into a discussion with someone about faculty-student communication, and I recalled how Mr. Kogut was always so friendly and accessible. He used to stop off at the campus pub sometimes and hoist a few with students.
Best wishes, Nicholas Corwin

Why would any NPR member donate to a Republican party?

Re: I Don’t Want to Be a Toys R Us Kid

1389 — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 00:31:23 -0000

I'm currently working as a retail clerk, though not at Toys R Us. I used to own a little stock in Toys R Us, back when it was a better place than it is now.

Your example shows me that both the managers and the cashiers are improperly trained. This does not bode well for the survival of any retail store chain in these economic circumstances.

Where I work, the promo prices, under most circumstances, are calculated when we press the total key. We explain this to the customers. If, for any reason, the correct discount amount does not come off, we can void out the item, re-scan it, and enter a price override to match the price that is on the shelf label, the flyer, or the clearance item label - whichever is applicable.

By the way...Toys R Us did not exist when I was a kid!

Having watched the Pittsburgh Pirates slug through 17 miserable years since the glory days of the early 1990s left me wondering how the Nats got so lucky.

Re: Two Bluey Boys Run the Boilermaker

Tom Shakely — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 17:33:17 -0000

This is a great story -- thank you for sharing. The strength of communities as witnessed with the Boilermaker is really quite humbling. I ran the "Revolutionary Run" 10K in Washington's Crossing, PA on July 4, and my experiences in many ways mirror yours -- great atmosphere, invigorating experiences, and important memories.

Very touching article, Rob. My best to your mom and family. Sounds like she is definitely an unsung hero, and she should be very proud to have a son like you to remind her. Take care.

Well said Rob!! The library was always my favorite place in elementary school thanks in large part to your mom. Mrs. Bluey, you touched so many lives and you will be deeply missed I am sure, but congratulations on your retirement and the best wishes as you start your new chapter.

Jeff — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 09:24:14 -0000

Rob, I cannot Say anything you haven't already said any better! The one thing I can however say is congratulations Mrs. Bluey and best wishes in all future endeavors. Your ever present smile has literally touched thousands of students and I'm quite sure will be greatly missed.

Re: The New and Improved Heritage.org

Thank you for the kind words. We're always looking for new ways to distribute and communicate, so definitely keep an eye on what we're doing.

Re: The New and Improved Heritage.org

editedforbias — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 16:36:08 -0000

I will give you the best complement you can get. I plan to convert from a free member to paying member because I simply love the direction Heritage has taken.

I still think that content creators (researcher like Heritage and traditional news sources) are struggling to understand the new dynamics of the web. Heritage has now made leaps beyond its peers, but I do not believe any have fully integrated its membership and community into their business models. Content is king; but distribution and community are at least queen and prince.

This site is a great start and I look forward to seeing where it goes from here.

Keep up the great work.

Re: The Ethics of Gotcha Journalism

jocallag — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 12:35:13 -0000

What about NBC reporter Brian Ross? He comes closest to going as far as possible to get a story even if it might be a unethical. For example, his holding back on the Mark Foley story until just a month before the 2006 election.

Right and the funny thing is, I was pretty vocal about the "benefits" of Twitter. Boy, talk about benefits now! I can hardly wait to see what I will learn today instead of knowing I am going to have to wade through so much noise to find what I like.

I think Facebook could be more detrimental for job seekers than beneficial. Imagine if a prospective boss sees something she doesn't like.
