Dutchboy- You're right about most people probably not needing a large bottle for their day to day saucing needs, it wouldn't make a big difference in my normal grocery budget either. However, I sometimes do need a bigger quanitity and the savings might matter when I make beef jerky. I make beef jerky in very large batches and one of the key ingredients in the recipe is worcestershire sauce. I could also see people making marinades for big items like briskets caring about the bigger bottle. You wouldn't really want to use a high-end one for those kinds of things and might need a large quantity at an economical price.
Maybe their main competitor's bottle is the 10oz size? Maybe we're thinking they're comparing to their own regular size but they're thinking they're comparing to their competition's regular size? I wish I had a bottle of Lee and Perrins brand handy to see how big it is.
I can't believe he would actually advise people to steal. Shoplifting is stealing regardless of the size of the business or who owns it. It's coming out of someone's pocket somewhere down the line regardless. Plus, stealing is absolutely against the Christian religion, I can't imagine a church leader teaching his flock to sin. There's no rules in the Bible about "Thou shalt not steal except shoplifting from big stores when you're having financial hard-times".
I would think that if he had enough financially needy people in his congregation that he needed to address the situation in his sermon, he would have been better off to address the issue by working to connect his congregation with social services and charities that could aid them.
Wouldn't be better for the earth to wear something reused or reusable instead of something that will be thrown away? I'm thinking re-styled thrift store threads would make an even better statement than a dress made out of vegetables.
Smart! Why not make use of the space and make some extra money? And it sounds like it's in a small town and every small town I've ever lived in needed more entertainment venues. And at first glance, I wasn't sure about the haunted theme, but then I thought about it and realized that it isn't like the idea of it being in a funeral home isn't escaping anyone. Lots of folks are already gonna be talking about the creepy factor, so why not take the punch out of it by making light of it?
So long as the funeral home is open during the day for funeral stuff and the mini-golf is open during the neat for amusements, it's an awesome idea. I wouldn't want the operating hours for the two to overlap,though. That way if people were mourning the loss of a loved one, they wouldn't have to come in contact with people having a great time in the downstairs.
It might even be fun to label meat with. So that way, the pieces cooked the way I like them would have my name on them and the ones cooked like my hubby likes them could have his name on them (or be un-branded).
I worry that people will use this thing for graffiti,though, and brand things that don't belong to them, like park benches,etc.
It's because communities and social circles have changed. In the olden days, communities were small and you could gossip about the townsfolk and everyone you talked to would know who she was and find the story interesting. Your gossip was relevant and not only does the gossip provide a great conversation starter, but it helps reinforce and spread the society's morals and values and behavioral standards.
Now, not everyone you want to talk to knows each other. The girl you work with doesn't know your cousin, so your cousin having an affair isn't good gossip anymore. Your waitress doesn't know the mother of the child in your kid's dance class that might be pregnant. Your sister doesn't know your friend that's going to have to go rehab. But they all "know" Angelina Jolie and Tiger Woods.
The gossip is the same gossip it's always been. It's as important and fascinating as it's always been. It's just moved from local people to nationally known figures. The town tramp isn't Mrs. Johnson anymore, it's Paris Hilton. The town drunk isn't Mr.Brown anymore, it's Amy Winehouse.
Subodh, I bet you're absolutely right when the circumstances are optimal, the new ultrasound technology would be super. However, vets should be trained in the old fashioned methods,too, for situations where portable ultrasound machines and such aren't readily available or would be impractical. While the modern high-tech way might be a vet's primary way of doing things at their office or on-site at modern high-volume cattle operations, vets should be familiar with the low-tech way in case they have to make a house call and do things on the fly and don't or can't have the new technology on hand in time. I can imagine lots of reasons why it might be hard use the new tech to tend to an emergency in a rustic rural back pasture in the middle of the night.
He looks like such a little boy in that picture. When I picture soldiers, I picture much older looking guys. It's chilling to see pics like that and remember that a lot of the soldiers we're sending into battle are barely more than children.
It seems a bit silly to me to have a uterus transplant. Transplants are costly and risky. For vital organs and organs that dramatically increase a person's quality of life they make sense. My husband has transplanted bones in his ears. Without them, he'd be deaf. My former step-father has a transplanted kidney, without it he would be dead by now.
However, there's a lot of other alternatives to a transplanted uterus. First of all, there's adoption. But if you're totally set on having children that are your biological children, there's surrogate parent-hood. I can't imagine investing the money and risking my health and putting the financial and emotional strain of major surgery on my family to have a uterus transplanted just so that I could incubate my own fetus myself.
Awesome answers! Plus, not only did my own question get answered, the main one of someone else's that I was curious to see answered did,too! I never would have guessed peeing in the shower would be the most frequent commonly shared secret (or that that many people do that, yuck!).
Thanks Frank and Neatorama for the very cool interview and follow-up!

That training method sounds horrific! This new method sure sounds awesome in comparison with that.
