Sir Doug Graham and three other ex Lombard directors begin appeal against conviction
Report from BusinessDesk
Former Lombard Finance directors Sir Doug Graham, Bill Jeffries, Lawrie Bryant and Michael Reeves began their attempt to reclaim their reputations in the Court of Appeal in Wellington today, saying they couldn't have foreseen the 'perfect storm' that engulfed finance companies starting in early 2008.
All four were in court in Wellington, accompanied by family members, to hear their lawyer Jim Farmer QC begin his case. The hearing is set down for four days though that includes one day for the Crown to appeal against the sentences handed down.
The four avoided the jail term the Crown had sought and were sentenced to community service in March last year after being found guilty of making untrue statements in investment documents and advertisements in late 2007 and early 2008. At sentencing, Justice Robert Dobson said the damage to the men's reputation of a criminal conviction couldn't be underestimated.
Farmer argued today that projections the Lombard board had in signing off on the prospectus in late 2007 gave them some confidence the finance sector climate could improve and that in any case the prospectus did broadly outline the key risks for investors. Those included being a lender on terms outside the parameters of retail banks.
That included the risk Lombard would not be able to repay its borrowing obligations in the event of an extreme loss of confidence in the sector.
"The unforeseen and dramatic change in February 2008 reflects the risk," Farmer said. "The extreme event, the perfect storm arrived."
The 4,400 Lombard Finance investors were owed $127 million at the time of the receivership in April 2008. The failed company's major asset was a property loan book of 27 loans with a book value of $136.8 million, mostly for bare land subdivisions or development properties. Of the 27, only nine were first ranking security.
Finance company failures began in 2006 and the following year big names including Bridgecorp, Nathans Finance, Geneva Finance and Capital + Merchant had joined the list.
Still, 2008 was to yield even greater carnage, with 22 finance companies failing or going into moratorium.
Justice Anthony Randerson asked Farmer to provide a full time-line of industry failures and asked whether he viewed the failures of Bridgecorp and Nathans in 2007 as being well known in the market place.
"If anything, the reinvestment rate remained very strong up until the time of the prospectus even though there was concern about finance company collapses," Farmer said.
At the sentencing last year Justice Dobson said the offending of the Lombard investors was serious but not of the same magnitude of those involved in Bridgecorp or Nathans Finance.
Sir Doug told BusinessDesk at the break that there has been something of a baying for blood with finance company directors, with few if any escaping censure. He said the media hadn't helped with its salacious portrayal of the Lombard directors.
Graham and Bryant each received 300 hours community service and were required to pay $100,000 each in reparation, while Jeffries and Reeves were sentenced to 400 hours community service.

This article is excerpted from the book Enemies: A History of the FBI by Tim Weiner.
Richard Nixon came to power with a soaring vision of world peace. If he succeeded, he thought he could reunite a nation at war with itself. If he failed, he feared the United States itself might fall.
His hopes hinged on secret government in America. His policies and plans, from carpet bombings to the diplomacy of détente, were clandestine, hidden from all but a few trusted aides. But he knew the chances for the absolute secrecy he sought were slim.
"I will warn you now," President Lyndon B. Johnson had told him at the White House in December 1968, "the leaks can kill you." He advised Nixon to depend on J. Edgar Hoover, and Hoover alone, to keep his secrets and protect his power: "You will rely on him time and time again to maintain security. He's the only one you can put your complete trust in."
Nixon had apocalyptic visions of a revolution in America, his dark thoughts driven deeper by the political assassinations, ghetto riots, and anti-war marches of the '60s. His inaugural parade on Jan. 20, 1969, ran into a brief but furious hail of rocks, bottles, and beer cans tossed by hundreds of anti-war protesters. On the campaign trail, Nixon's mantra had been "Bring Us Together." The people he thought were ripping America apart were screaming curses at his black limousine as it rolled to the White House.
The early days of his presidency were marked by alarming bombings and shootouts: Radicals attacked army-recruiting offices and Reserve Officer Training Corps centers on campus; Puerto Rican nationalists
blew up the draft board in San Juan; black militants aimed sniper attacks at police. Hoover had proclaimed the Black Panther Party and its photogenic leaders the greatest threat to the internal security of the United States. His intelligence chief, Bill Sullivan, had succeeded at placing informers at high levels inside the party, which by 1969 was already starting to fragment. But the FBI did not have a clue about the student movement, and the students were the ones who worried Nixon the most.
Nixon feared that they were a subversive threat as powerful as the Soviets, the Chinese, and the Vietcong. He spoke of the campus uprisings at American universities in one of his first major addresses. "This is the way civilizations begin to die," he said. He quoted Yeats: "Things fall apart. The center cannot hold. None of us has the right to suppose it cannot happen here."
From his first weeks in office, Nixon learned that LBJ was right: The leaks were killing him. Every secret decision about the war in Vietnam, including the plans to bomb Cambodia, appeared in the press soon after every important meeting of the National Security Council, led by Henry Kissinger. Each leak fueled the fires of the anti-war movement. Nixon demanded secret intelligence on the radicals in the streets and on Kissinger's aides in the White House, all of whom he suspected of treason.
He called Hoover and Attorney General John Mitchell into the Oval Office. His memory of the meeting was succinct. "Hoover informed me that … there was only one way to deal with it… . He had authority to wiretap … Wiretapping being the ultimate weapon."
"I told Mr. Hoover we would go forward with this program," Nixon remembered. "I called Dr. Kissinger in and indicated to him that he should take the responsibility of checking his own staff."
Kissinger complied. "Here he was in this room with J. Edgar Hoover, John Mitchell, Richard Nixon," said Kissinger's aide, Peter Rodman. "They're saying: 'Let's do some taps.' And J. Edgar Hoover and John Mitchell say: 'Yeah, we can do that. Bobby Kennedy did this all the time.' "
The Kissinger wiretaps were on. "Dr. Kissinger said he appreciated this very much," Hoover wrote, "and he hoped I would follow it up as far as we can take it and they will destroy whoever did this if we can find him, no matter where he is."
On May 28, 1969, at 3 p.m., Nixon took a seat beside Hoover in the ceremonial East Room of the White House. Together they presided over the graduation of the 83rd session of the FBI National Academy, a training course for American law enforcement commanders and foreign police chiefs. Minutes before, in the Oval Office, Hoover had personally delivered a set of the Kissinger wiretap summaries to the president. In the East Room, Hoover gave Nixon a gold badge, making him an
honorary member of the FBI, and Nixon spoke about the rule of law.
"Our problem," the president said, "is to see to it that, all over America, our laws—the written laws— deserve respect of all Americans, and that those who carry out the law—who have that hard, difficult, grueling, sometimes dangerous task of enforcing the law—that they carry out their responsibilities
in a way that deserves respect."
That same afternoon, in Chicago, a young FBI agent named Bill Dyson was about to be initiated into the rules of a lawless world. He remembered the day with clarity. It was the start of a new life.
Dyson was 28-years-old, on his first tour of duty, barely two years after joining the FBI. His boss told him he was going to be working on a wiretap. He was not exactly sure what a wiretap was, or how they worked, or what laws regulated them. But he followed his supervisor down into a windowless room in the bowels of the Bureau's office. His superiors sat him down and said: "Here's your machine."
They put him on the four-to-midnight shift listening to members of the Students for a Democratic Society.
The SDS formally convened in Chicago three weeks later. One faction declared it would begin an armed struggle against the government of the United States. Over the summer, and into the fall, Dyson listened as the members of the group argued, debated, and plotted. He was witnessing the violent birth of a terrorist gang.
"I watched them become the Weathermen! I was with them when they became the Weathermen!" he said. "It was exciting. I was watching history."
About 50 years before, in Chicago, in September 1919, J. Edgar Hoover's agents had spied on the birth of the Communist Party of the United States. Dyson was following in their tradition.
The Weathermen saw themselves as revolutionaries who could overthrow America, a vision fueled in part by doses of LSD. They called themselves Communists, but their tactics were closer to those of the Italian anarchists who had bombed Washington and Wall Street in the days after World War I.
Their leaders were white, good-looking, well-educated; some came from wealthy families. They tried to form armed alliances with the Black Panthers. They traveled to Cuba and met with representatives of the government of North Vietnam. They drilled discipline into one another with a grinding groupthink that Chairman Mao might have admired. They fought one another and slept with one another. And Dyson listened.
"I knew more about these people than they knew about themselves. If you work a wiretap, a good wiretap, you will become that way," he said. "I lived with these people sometimes twenty- four hours a day, seven days a week."
But then the Weathermen became the Weather Underground. They began to shift from open rabble-rousing to clandestine bomb making in the fall of 1969. They seemed to vanish. Dyson's taps went silent. The FBI was caught flat-footed. The wiretappers traced calls to pay telephones; they placed radio transmitters in public phone booths. But the trail went cold. That sent a chill of fear through FBI intelligence chief Bill Sullivan, who had reported on Sep. 8, 1969, that the group had "the potential to be far more damaging to the security of this Nation than the Communist Party ever was, even at the height of its strength in the 1930s."
Starting from Chicago, clandestine cells of four or more Weathermen spread across the country, from New York to San Francisco. That winter, three key members of the New York faction blew themselves up in an elegant town house on West 11th Street while trying to wire 60 sticks of dynamite in a bomb intended to kill soldiers at Fort Dix, N.J. After that deadly fiasco, the movement went deeper underground, but it managed to take credit for a fresh outrage every few months during the Nixon
years, taunting the FBI and the White House with wild-eyed communiqués, planting bombs at will in seemingly impenetrable places.
A group barely 100 strong—with a core of a dozen decision takers and bomb makers—began to drive the government of the United States half-mad with fear as the '60s became the '70s.
Dyson, who became the FBI's lead case agent on the group, took them at their word. He judged the threat as deadly serious, and so did his superiors. The message from the underground, as he read it, was one of murderous intent: If you don't end the war, we'll kill your congressmen. We'll kill your senators. We'll kill the president.
"They were able to get into the U.S. Capitol, build a bomb into a wall, and blow it up at will," Dyson said. "They got into the Pentagon… . They were able to call up and say it's going to go off in exactly five minutes and it would go off in five minutes. They were as good as any terrorist group in the world in terms of their sophistication."
They carried out 38 bombings. The FBI solved none. "We didn't know how to investigate terrorism," Dyson said. "We did not have enough intelligence on these people."
That presented the FBI with a terrible problem. Its answer was to take the most drastic measures. "There were certain people in the FBI who made the decision: We've got to take a step—anything to get rid of these people. Anything!" Dyson said. "Not kill them per se, but anything went. If we suspect somebody's involved in this, put a wiretap on them. Put a microphone in. Steal his mail. Do anything!"
Dyson had questions about the rule of law: "Can I put an informant in a college classroom? Or even on the campus? Can I penetrate any college organization? What can I do? And nobody had any rules or regulations. There was nothing …"
"This was going to come and destroy us," he said. "We were going to end up with FBI agents arrested. Not because of what they did was wrong. But because nobody knew what was right or wrong." Not knowing that difference is a legal definition of insanity.
Dyson's premonitions of disaster would prove prophetic. In time, the top commanders of the FBI in Washington and New York would face the prospect of prison time for their work against the threat from the left. So would the president's closest confidants.

NATM Elects New President at Reno Convention
March 31, 2010 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on NATM Elects New President at Reno Convention
The National Association of Trailer Manufacturers (NATM) elected a new association presidents and presented several awards during its 22nd Annual Convention and Trade Show in Reno, Nev., in early March.
The NATM elected Mike Skoglund, Carry-On Trailers Inc. as association president. Skoglunds's term as president began March 2010 and continues through February 2011, according to a news release.
Skoglund is vice president of new product development for Carry-On Trailer Inc. Carry-On Trailer Inc. has been an NATM member since 2000. Skoglund has served on numerous committees including the membership and compliance committees. He has attended ANTM board visits to the Hill in Washington, D.C. for the past three years and has worked hard to relate NATM messages to senior support legislative members to achieve NATM goals.
Skoglund has worked in the trailer industry for almost 20 years and his experience within the industry includes retail and wholesale sales, DOT fleet transportation manager, logistics and loading, marketing, research and development and OSHA accident investigation.
The NATM also presented several awards:
- Andy Gehman, MGS Inc., Denver, Pa., received the NATM Outstanding Member Award, presented each year to an individual who has made significant contributions to the trailer manufacturing industry. Gehman was elected to the NATM board in 2003 and has served in all of the officer positions and on numerous committees. He currently serves as the chairman of the government affairs committee and as a member of the governance committee. He was instrumental in launching a successful government affairs program including overseeing the selection process of NATM's current government affairs firm, K&L Gates. Gehman participated in the strategic planning process in 2005 and 2008, and was involved with the planning, writing and implementation of the current NATM strategic plan. One of the goals from the 2008 strategic plan was to develop a governance plan for NATM. He has been an active participant on the governance committee which is in the process of completing the governance policy for the association. During his tenure as NATM President, Gehman worked on a quality management program for NATM. This led to the formal adoption of numerous policies and procedures for the association, along with a document control process. He continues to actively participate on numerous committees and special projects.
- Jim Garnett, Hoschton, Ga., received the NATM Outstanding Service Award. The original purpose for forming an association was to aid in obtaining product liability insurance, which was presenting a challenge for many trailer manufacturers. On April 19, 1990, Garnett spoke to NATM members about product liability insurance at the Third Annual NATM Convention in Atlantic City, N.J., with 10 manufacturers and 12 exhibitors in attendance. At that meeting, the board of directors appointed a standards committee and voted to endorse Interstate Insurance Services to provide product liability insurance to its members. Garnett continued to provide insurance services to NATM members until he retired in 2009. During his years with NATM, Garnett recruited countless members to NATM, receiving the Membership Award in 2002. He required all of the manufacturers that he insured to participate in the NATM Compliance Program, helping to build the program that today has over 70% of its members participating. Interstate Insurance has been a long-time sponsor of the NATM convention, as well as sponsoring board meetings and a variety of events for NATM members.
- Carlisle Tire & Wheel Co.received the NATM Associate Member Award, presented each year to a company who has shown outstanding support of NATM. Carlisle Tire & Wheel has been an NATM member since 1997, with as many as 13 branch memberships. They have been long-time sponsors, exhibitors, advertisers and overall supporters of NATM. Their representative, Rick Coffey, has received the membership award twice for recruiting the most new members to NATM in a year. He has served on the board of directors for the past five years chairing the convention and marketing committees. When the board of directors voted to add an associate board member to the executive committee, Carlisle Tire & Wheel supported the decision to add Coffey to this position, thus ensuring that the needs of associate members are being heard and considered. Coffey made numerous trips to evaluate potential sites for NATM conventions and has played an integral part in planning successful conventions and trade shows for NATM.

I want to learn english plaese teach me something good
Since I believe no question should pass unanswered, I'll try to help you with this one. And because yours is of rather general character, I'll narrow my reply to just two examples of words that I find extremely useful in everyday English:
No 1: 'stuff': I love this word since it means nearly anything you want.
'It's my favourite stuff' (about a particular brand of beer).
'I'll get my stuff and go home' (collect my things, luggage, etc.).
'To get the office working you'll need a computer, fax, photocopier, stationery and stuff' (Other similar items).
No 2: 'Thingummajig' is another 'wild card'. It looks great, sounds great and is fun to use because you simply substitute it for a word you don't know or can't remember at the moment.
'To fire the shotgun you just pull the ...thingummajig..., ah, yeah, trigger it is. So you pull the trigger.'
WARNING! Depending on the context, it may or may not work the way you want it to.
Good luck!

Tom Cruise Inherits Coveted K-Fed Spot on 'Details' Magazine's 2008 Power List
Details unveiled Tom Cruise this morning as the cover boy of its annual Power Issue. Sadly, Cruise only makes No. 7 — a position shared last year by Kevin Federline and Larry Birkhead. But perhaps it's the thought that counts: Previous Power Issues have ranked the "most influential men under 45," but the magazine has expanded its age range in 2008 to include "the most influential men under 47," thus barely qualifying the 46 year-old star in time for his Valkyrie promo tour. Excerpts of his acceptance speech follow the jump.Cruise doesn't spill much new information in his brief interview, though he does unveil a few of the careful calculations behind choosing both his pro-dance Tropic Thunder cameo and the role of an eyepatch-clad Nazi:
"When you make people reconsider something that they're so certain of ... I found it very compelling. It's the reason I'm doing it," Cruise says. "When I was a kid, we'd play war, you know, and it was always 'Kill the Nazis.' I wanted to kill Hitler." Cruise laughs. [...] If he's in the mood to mock Hollywood, he can take an unbilled cameo as a balding, ball-busting studio exec in Tropic Thunder. "When I was working with Ben Stiller, I said, 'I want to play this character, but I've got to dance,'" says Cruise. "I haven't danced that much since Risky Business!"
But it wasn't enough to overtake the surprising stars above him in the always-baffling Power 40, including Barack Obama's Secret Service Agent at No. 1, "The Palin Bunch" at No. 5 and "The Bipolar Broker" at No. 6. Details didn't list any runners-up trailing pregnant 40th-placer Thomas Beatie, but we have a hunch that entities as far-flung as CNN's John King and The Banker on Deal or No Deal are fuming over their exclusion.

1. You still have to go to work on Friday.
We checked with NASA. It says, "Dec. 21, 2012, won't be the end of the world as we know; however, it will be another winter solstice." We also checked Pope Benedict XVI's Twitter account. He's not saying anything about the end of the world. Actually, he's not tweeting much at all. We also checked with the U.S. Geological Survey, which isn't directly addressing this whole apocalypse thing. It apparently is more concerned with disaster preparedness, tracking Pacific walruses and the 20,000 or so earthquakes that occur every year. That seems reasonable. But we can offer another installment in our "10 Things" series, by SmartMoney from MarketWatch. These stories offer consumers a closer look at the truth behind the public face of major companies and institutions. Some of the most popular have been 10 Things Apple won't tell you, 10 Things Google won't tell you and 10 Things cable companies won't tell you.
While we can't say for sure what will happen Friday, and we don't have a clue as to why the Mayan calendar ends, or if it does, we can offer up these 10 Things the end of the world won't tell you. First suggestion: If you're scheduled to work Friday, go to work.

Tessa Buys, one of our brilliant 2011 SRM Stickers Design Team members is treating us today to her version of our new product, Party in a Bag! Enjoy!
Tessa says, "I fussy-cut flowers from patterned paper to make the invitations. On the inside, I added banner-cut strips and a border sticker. For the envelopes, I cut apart a border sticker and layered it with fabric tape in the corner. I added sentiment stickers directly onto the fabric tape."
Tessa used the round baby images in a banner. She simply added them to cardstock and punched them out with a starburst punch. She punched starbursts out of patterned paper and sewed the circles together.
Tessa cut apart one of the border stickers to create cupcake flags and cut apart more border stickers, combined them with fabric tape to close a party favor bag filled with flower seeds.
Tessa also created flowers to top tubes and added a sentiment to the center of each one.
Here's what Tessa had to say about her time on the 2011 SRM Stickers Design Team; "I count being a part of the SRM team in 2011 as one of my greatest blessings of the year. It has been an amazing experience. Susan has been an absolute dream to work for. She is caring, encouraging, and oh-so-thoughtful. Jenyfur has been a magnificent team coordinator and cheerleader. Every member of the design team was kind, supportive and inspiring. Just to be associated with these gals has been a huge boost to my crafty morale and creativity.

The following is a translation from French of an article which appeared on the site of the Swiss "Agence d'information agricole romande" on 22 February 2012 about a recent study by the University of Zürich Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. Mobile phone technology is also potentially harmful to animals.
Blindness at birth in calves could be linked to the presence of mobile phone antennas. This is what the umbrella association Electrosmog Suisse asserts, based on partial results from a study by the University of Zürich. Since 2005, the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine has been looking at "nuclear" cataracts (affecting the lens nucleus) in newborn calves raised near mobile phone antennas. Among the farms observed, the Association mentioned a farm in canton Zürich where cases of cataracts increased after installation of an antenna and disappeared once the antenna was dismantled. The anti-electrosmog association calls on the authorities to respond and not "await dissipation of the latest scientific doubts in order to take preventive measures." The Director of the faculty research project, Bernhard Spiess, confirms the "striking temporal correlation" between installation of the antenna and appearance of the cases of cataracts. According to him, it is however impossible to prove for now a link between cause and effect.

ACE Integration with the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Configuration Example
From DocWiki
This example shows how to allocate VLANs to the ACE module so the ACE module can be interconnected to the network.
In simple scenario, the MSFC is sharing VLANs with the ACE modules the basic VLAN structure is as follows:
|VLAN Names
|Common names for Datacenter VLANs
|Public VLAN
|ACE Client VLAN
|Private VLAN
|ACE Server VLAN
When allocating VLANs to a vlan-group, be aware a specific VLAN can only be allocated to one vlan-group. This requirement can dictate the use of multiple vlan-groups. In the common scenario where we have both FWSM and ACE modules where the basic VLAN structure is as follows:
|VLAN Names
|Common names for Datacenter VLANs
|Internet Facing VLAN
|FWSM Outside
|FWSM Inside
|ACE Client VLAN
|Private VLAN
|ACE Server VLAN
In this example of a simple scenario, VLANs 10 and 20 need to be allocated to the ACE module:
svclc multiple-vlan-interfaces svclc module 1 vlan-group 7 svclc vlan-group 7 10,20
In this example, intuitively VLANs 10 and 20 need to be allocated to the FWSM and VLANs 20 and 30 allocated to the ACE module. Due to the vlan-group constraint, an additional vlan-group must be allocated for the shared VLAN between the FWSM and ACE modules.
svclc multiple-vlan-interfaces firewall module 1 vlan-group 3 firewall module 1 vlan-group 5 svclc module 2 vlan-group 5 svclc module 2 vlan-group 7 firewall vlan-group 3 10 firewall vlan-group 5 20 svclc vlan-group 7 30

This section provides information you can use to confirm your configuration is working properly.
Certain show commands are supported by the Output Interpreter Tool (registered customers only), which allows you to view an analysis of show command output.

Notice either firewall or svclc commands can be used to define a vlan-group. However, the firewall command must be used to allocate vlan-groups to a FWSM, and the svclc command must be used to allocate vlan-groups to an ACE module. Once VLANs have been allocated to the ACE module the process of virtualization and resource allocation can begin.

Council forks out £160m: The last of the schools deal cash
Last BSF dosh doled out to construction and ICT supplier
A north-west council has awarded one of the last contracts under the BSF school building programme. The contract includes ICT services.
Halton Borough Council has awarded a 15-year Building Schools for the Future (BSF) contract to HTP LEP for work including computer-related services and the installation of telecommunications equipment. The deal is on behalf of the council and other organisations.
According to a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 22 April, a large part of the deal will include facilities-management services and construction work. The ICT element of the deal will require ICT equipment systems and services to be designed, implemented, serviced and maintained "to provide a fully integrated service across all or any of the relevant facilities and services".
The Coalition government stopped the establishment of new BSF deals, although it allowed those already in the pipeline to go ahead, including that of Halton Council with HTP LEP.
In a notice published on the same day as the Halton deal, Staffordshire county council awarded RM an education-related contract worth £4.4m for the provision of e-learning platform services. The one-year contract aims to support individual learners in schools and colleges.
"The development of a learning platform must be part of a planned strategy to embed ICT and e-learning in schools culture," says the notice.

Being in education for 48 years comes with many changes and excellent experiences if you ask Dr. Larry Allred.
Being in education for 48 years comes with many changes and excellent experiences if you ask Dr. Larry Allred.
Allred, the principal of Davidson Early College High School, retired at the end of January. Catherine Gentry, who was an English teacher at the school, was voted as the interim principal until June 30.
"What makes my job worthwhile is seeing parents and students' faces at graduation and faculty faces," Allred said. "It gives you a sense of perception you have contributed to something good for the benefit of students. I think we have made a significant difference. That's what keeps me going. I appreciate everything the community has done."
Allred, who is originally from the Greensboro area, came to the Early College in 2005. Prior to Davidson County he had been an elementary and middle school teacher, district middle school coordinator, chairman of teacher education and dean of education at private and public institutions.
He received a doctorate in curriculum and instruction and master's degree in education, both from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. His elementary education degree is from Elon University.
He said the Early College struck his attention because it focused on students in between high school and college. The school opened in 2004 as the Middle College. Allred said there was a director in place before he became the first principal. Allred said the school went from 40 to 120 students.
"Looking back over my life I have seen students at the kindergarten level to grad school," he said. "I know the perspective of what comes before and after. The experience at the Early College couldn't have come at a better time."
Allred said the seamless transition for students graduating from high school and having the opportunity to enter the working world with an associate's degree or college credits or to continue their education was achieved at the school.
"When I look back over the seven years, I think we did do a successful transition with students receiving both high school diplomas and college degrees. More than 90 percent achieved this goal," he said. "Most will go on to the next level. These students have seized the opportunity. That's what it's about."
Allred does not have any immediate plans after retirement. He wants to spend more time with his two children.
"After 40-something years, it's time for Larry to do something. I'm not sure what," he said.
He noted it was tough leaving the Early College because everyone was close.
"I had the honor and privilege of working with a faculty I couldn't praise more. They were dedicated to the students. That faculty is amazing," Allred said.
Allred also noted the partnership between Davidson County Community College, where the Early College is housed, and local superintendents couldn't have gone any better. The school has students from all three school systems.
"They all worked to achieve the best for students," he said.
Under Allred's leadership, the school has received several accolades such as having one of the highest graduation rates and a four-year cohort graduation rate of 100 percent for two years in a row.
Dr. Fred Mock, superintendent of Davidson County Schools, said the Early College is the second-highest performing high school in the state due to Allred's leadership.
"I honor his commitment to academic excellence," Mock said.

Great Dehydrator and Jerky Maker
Oct. 6, 2015
I love Jerky and decided to buy this FD61. It does a great job drying my jerky and the original seasoning that came with it is really good as well.
10 batches so far, and its going strong. I also purchased several extra racks with it.
The first batch had the house smelling like jerky, so i moved it to the outside patio and the wife is happy.
I would recommend it to anyone. Also comes with fruit roll up trays so it is very versatile.

Love it!

Bought this to try dehydrating our dog's canned food. He is a rescue yorkie with inflammatory bowel disease. Wouldn't eat the prescription kibble but would the canned, when he got really hungry. He was always trying to steal the other dog's dry kibble. Thought if we could get his canned drier, he might start to eat more and gain back weight. This little machine has really done the trick. Ended up buying more jelly roll sheets to do larger batches. He loves his food now and the others are trying to sneak some of his!! Very , very happy with this purchase.

I have had the FD 60 & 61 for several years and I have to say these are the best dehydrators I have ever used. They both have worked over time during hunting season making jerky. I have 8 trays on both and I am thinking about getting 4 more trays for each. I have never and I mean never had any problems with either one. I would say 5 out of 5 all day every day.

Great machine
Nov. 30, 2014
I bought this in 2008. I've used it hundreds of times making jerky and kale chips. It's never let me down. Instead of buying a bigger machine(this one only came with 4 trays),I'm just gonna purchase some extra trays. 5 stars all the way.

best dehydrator ever
Sep. 1, 2014
I got this little dehydrator for my birthday and I love that the temperatures are right on the lid. It makes use so easy even a dummy like me can figure it out! It dries fast,evenly, and is so easy to load, clean, and use. I got the one with a grey lid with the temps printed on it. American harvest I think. Anyway, I made my first jerky today. I have been buying jerky for 15 dollars a pound at sams club and this jerky cost me 4.00 a pound with seasoning and energy used to dry it. I can't believe the savings I will have making my own! I ordered more spices and trays today. All I need now is one of those vaccumm sealers and I will be set for life!

Good to start but not a lasting product.

Works great to start but after using only about 15 times. The motor just stopped working. Very disappointed as I had just invested in extra fruit roll sheets and other accessories.

Very Happy With the FD-61
Nov. 20, 2013
It�s too bad about the reviewer that gave one star. I could understand maybe getting one bad machine, but three in a row?
I�ve had mine for over eighteen months and it�s been a real work horse producing large amounts of jerky, dried bananas, apples, raisins, and drying herbs. I�ve produced the odd batches of pineapple, pears, oranges, and sweet potato chips.
I bought the machine primarily for making jerky treats for the household mutt. Store bought jerky is very expensive and is loaded with all sorts of ingredients that the dog doesn�t need. The jerky I make for him is super simple � one pound of 85% ground beef mixed with two pounds of ground turkey and NO additional ingredients. I load the jerky gun and use the smaller round tube nozzle. Granted the jerky isn't all that tasty to the human palate, but the dog loves the stuff. Don�t just take my mutt�s �word� for it; the neighbor�s dog is a big fan, as well.
As far as drying times go, the jerky and bananas are typically ready in about 8 hours. Apples are closer to 9 hours. Raisins are nearer to 20 to 24 hours even after blanching. The shortest drying time has been for sweet potato chips � five hours.
I usually use 4 or 5 trays but bought an additional two trays and have used all seven at times and the results have been good every time. As far as clean-up goes, I run the trays through the dishwasher but always pull them out when the washer goes into the drying cycle � as recommended in the product manual.
I figure the machine has easily paid for itself just making jerky. All in all, I�m very happy with the FD-61 and highly recommend it.

Not so great!

I have gone through my third one of these in 4 years. I use it during the summer months for herbs. At 60plus$ dollars a pop I think that I will be changing brands. Not a wise investment!!!

Great Product
Mar. 22, 2013
I bought this for my wife. She dries all kinds of things, from flowers to fruit to fish. Before, she used the oven, which was very tricky, required constant attention, and still didn't always work. Then she tried another brand of dehydrator - one of the passive, stackable kind that you see advertised on TV all the time. That worked, but took days, and still required a lot of attention, and rotating of trays from top to bottom. Then I discovered the Nesco brand from Internet reviews. I picked up a Nesco American Harvest model FD-61 at Sears, and my wife loves it! Her first project was bananas. She doesn't slice bananas, she cuts them in half length-wise, and flattens them out. Big pieces that took up to 3 days on the other dehydrator. The Nesco dries them in 10 to 12 hours, and the dried bananas are nice, tanned, evenly dried, instead of nearly black leather, like from the other machine.
Wife loves it; I'm a hero!

Great for fruit snacks
Jan. 19, 2013
Thought about another 'kitchen toy' for a while before buying this....but it's been a great addition. I've used it for apples and bananas so far, and I'm looking forward to the opportunities to take advantage of the Farmer's Market next season.
You can hear it running, but it's not distracting. Used it in the kitchen so far, but now that I'm more confident I'll put it in the basement when it's in use. The aroma is more noticeable than the sound. Apples made the kitchen smell like apple pie was in the oven; bananans were ok. Bananas took much longer than apples, due to their texture.
It's important to follow the instructions to use a citrus juice or other agent to prevent browning of the sliced fruit while it's in process. A little lemon juice in a container of water was great for both; as I cut up the fruit, I dropped it into the solution until I was ready to load the trays.
Results are TASTY, and YOU control the extras that that you use - sugar, salt, cinnamon, etc
Ready to order more trays!

Great price, outstanding jerkey maker. Bought it just for jerkey. Saved about $19 dollars a batch. Use to pay $32 for a pound (is worth it was the best). Paid $13 for 3 lbs of flat steak. Now mine is the best.

The next time you're asked in an interview to name your greatest weakness, remember that it could be worse: Job seekers applying to Maryland's Department of Corrections were asked for their Facebook logins and passwords.
After learning of this practice, the ACLU stepped in and put a stop to it. However, the folks in Maryland, somehow still unclear on the concept, then had job candidates log in to their Facebook accounts while the hiring manager peered over their shoulder as they perused everything behind their privacy settings.
The officials at the Maryland Department of Corrections said that they did this to make sure job candidates didn't have any gang affiliations. The agency told the ACLU it had reviewed the social media accounts of 2,689 applicants and denied employment to seven because of items found on their pages. Talk about throwing the baby out with the bath water and all that.
When I used to advise people to be careful what they put into social media, I'd always temper that with telling them to at least put sensitive things behind a privacy wall (if you can keep up with Facebook's ever-changing privacy settings). But I guess even that doesn't hold water, as you can see in this blog that shows an image of a job application (for a clerical position) that comes right out and asks for social media logins and passwords. Scary stuff.

Difference between revisions of "Holmes County"
Revision as of 18:02, 10 July 2007
Holmes County [1] is in Ohio. It is located the eastern part of Ohio about halfway between Cleveland and Columbus. Holmes County primarily consists of steep hills and narrow valleys.
Other destinations
The Amish comprise nearly half of the county's population (total population estimated at 40,000+) making this region the largest Amish settlement in the world. The area also has many Mennonites, who are also a less conservative part of The Anabaptist Movement that moved here from Europe, at the invitation of William Penn . When travelling to and driving in this area, be alert for the horse-drawn Amish buggies, pedestrians on the roads, children walking and livestock crossing and being herded on the roads, all have the right of way on the roads. It is said that "if you hit an Amish Buggy, God will not forgive you".
When you are visiting the towns and attractions in Holmes County, keep in mind that most of the people selling trinkets and wares as well as the shop owners are not Amish, although some are Mennonite. You may even find an Amish fellow selling trinkets out of his buggy that are made in China. Items such as cheese, smoked meats, quilts and oak wood furniture most likely are manufactured and finished locally. Quality and price widely vary. (Some quilts are made in China, if making a purchase that can run into the thousands of dollars, make sure you know what you are buying)
The items or places you find branded "Amish", most likely are not Amish. Amish do not use the word "Amish" as a marketing ploy, this is something invented by the "English" (as Amish refer to non-Amish). The Amish simply refer to what ever it is. There are few if any exceptions to this.
Photography: You should avoid taking photographs of Amish, Amish farms, Amish events, and especially Amish children. This is, of course against their religion. Even asking permission is treading on their religious culture and would be considered quite rude or even racist in nature. This is a different race of people with deep religious principals. Please be as considerate of their religion, as you would expect one to be of yours.
Sundays: Most business closed.
Being in the center of Ohio's Amish Country, the world's largest Amish settlement, much of the population is bi-lingual, speaking both English and German. Smaller children speak only German until starting school. The name "Pennsylvania Dutch" is actually a mispronunciation of "Deutsch" or German.
Get in
Holmes County is accessible from: I-71, I-77, and US 30
Get around
Holmes County has the largest concentration of scenic byways in Ohio. Every major thoroughfare, state or US highway, is designated as a scenic byway, making it a great place to tour by car.
Unique to this area, is the Amish/Mennonite Benefit Auctions. These auctions provide funds for a variety of needs in the Community. Some are consignments, some are strictly donations. Most have food/meals, ice cream, pies, prepared by the locals and are quite reasonable and tasty. The auctions take place throughout the warmer months. They sell everything from quilts to furniture to farm machinery. Ads are in the local paper "The Budget". If you have never been to a Benefit Auction, it will be a real treat!!
There are a variety of choices for sleep that range from larger hotels to small bed & breakfasts. For something a bit different you may want to look into the Bed & Breakfasts which are numerous, or even renting a small farm house for a night or two, which can be very pleasant. Do your homework online, there are a lot of choices. If heading for a B&B, make sure you have good directions, the rural roads can be confusing. If lost, just ask an Amish fellow. He most likely will be very polite and set you right. Best to avoid the Amish women and children, they may not be as helpful, some may not speak English.
Due to the geographic location of Ohio, some of the finest hardwoods in the world grow there and to the North. The Amish/Mennonites have developed a large cottage industry around hard woods. Furniture stores are scattered throughout the county offering these products which are usually manufactured without electricity. Some of the more unique and finer items can be found at the numerous benefit auctions throughout the warmer months, that are held to support the Amish/Mennonite schools, rest homes and medical needs of the community.
The Budget is a local newspaper, printed in Sugarcreek, Tuscarawas County and sent to the world wide Amish/Mennonite community. It is printed in English and available by single copy or subscription. There you can find most of the local happenings and Auction advertisement. It is very helpful to new visitors and those wanting to understand the Amish/Mennonite community.
Quilts. Know what you are buying. Ask a knowledgeable party about them. There is quite a difference in the value and stiching. There is an annual Mennonite Relief Quilt Sale held at Kidron each year, that has been featured on National Geographic. If you go, parking is remote with a hay wagon ride to the sale/auction tents. Dress conservatively, wear old shoes.
Cheese. Award winning cheese of numerous variety is available, most made locally.
Jams, jellies and vegetables abound.
Bakery items. You will find numerous bakeries around the county. Just part of the Amish/Mennonite tradition. Made with sugar rather than corn sweetener. Great treat. Bring a cooler.
Horses/livestock. Traders heaven for those interested in livestock and "exotic" animals. The auction barn at Mount Hope seems to be the center for this activity selling herds of cows, sheep, goats, chickens, eggs, bakery items and so on each month surrounded by a somewhat primitive flea market. There are numerous horse sales and "exotic" sales throughout the year.
Shop till you drop. That is pretty much the goal of the majority of visitors to Holmes County.
Visit the furniture stores. They feature locally produced hard wood products that vary in quality and price. Johns Woodworking in Berlin, Kyme Lumber in Charm, and the furniture store in Farmerstown, are well established. If in Charm, stop at the restaurant across from Kyme Lumber for some of the Counties best food.
If in Sugarcreek, visit the consignment store behind the grocery store, for local crafts. A bit hard to find, but worth the effort.
Stop at the bakeries, try a fry pie. Local treat!!!!
While there are a few bars in Holmes County as well as carry-outs, Holmes County is not a "party town" due to its very conservative population. If visiting farms or rural shops, keep in mind the water is not treated. The water in towns is quite safe.
Stay safe
Since the Amish/Mennonites are pacifists by nature, the threat from them is nonexistent. Your main threat is on the roads from sight seeing drivers not paying attention to the often slow or stopped traffic. Food purchased at the numerous road side bakeries, cheese plants or home made canned items like jellies or preserves should be considered quite safe. Water in the towns is treated and quite safe, but you may want to pass on well water at farms and some retailers, like rural furniture stores. If you buy farm eggs, they will likely be very fresh and tasty, but not candeled. When buying directly from the Amish, keep in mind they usually have little refrigeration and/or no electric. A few will have telephones, but they will be out of sight.
ANIMALS:Keep in mind that this is not a petting zoo type situation. The animals may bite, kick or step on you, or especially your children. Never allow your child to walk up on a horse, buggy, or other farm animal. Animals in pens may be more accessible, but can pass on other disease like salmonella, or animal feces as well as biting. Animals by nature are not very clean, to say the least, and touching should be avoided.

Not really
But I happened to spend my childhood near a US facility in that country and in our house there my parents rented a flat to a gay officers couple, and a Major and her (Lieutenant) husband, among others — hence my childhood friendships with mil-brats
But my deteriorated English is not their fault LOL
You're not only a troll but you are THAT troll!
You're reported.
Who the fuck are you?

Someone with extremely large balls, I'm assuming.
Of course all bicorns cheat but play for "unicorn privilege." LOL
I decided not to post it... I don't want to beat a dead horse, and more than likely he'd read it and still say his life is worse.

Candidate Summary, 2012 Cycle
Jill Stein, a resident of Lexington, Mass., was born in Chicago on May 14, 1950. Stein graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College in 1973, and earned her PhD from Harvard Medical School in 1979. She was a practicing physician until she announced her presidential bid in October 2011 under the banner of the Green Party, and she's a former professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.
Show More Information About Jill Stein
Stein's previous political experience included two unsuccessful runs, as a Green Party nominee, to be governor of Massachusetts.
Like other Green Party candidates, Stein doesn't accept donations from political action committees and instead pledged to accept campaign contributions only from individual donors. She made the influence of money-in-politics a main plank in her platform of her campaign, and is an advocate of a constitutional amendment to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission decision and wanted the government to provide full public financing of elections.
Stein was the first Green Party candidate to qualify for federal matching funds, after raising at least $5,000 in qualifying donations in each of at least 20 states. Cheri Honkala, a Native American human rights and anti-poverty activist, was her running mate.
Stein was arrested twice in October 2012, once for protesting the lack of inclusion of smaller party nominees in the presidential debates and again while trying to assist protestors of the Keystone XL pipeline. She received just over 456,000 votes in November, less than one-half of one percent of the total votes cast.

Kohl's (NYSE:KSS) plans to hire about 53,000 associates for the holiday season, the retailer said Thursday.
Continue Reading Below
The plans are consistent with last year's holiday staffing levels at the department-store operator. In 2012, the company hired about 52,700 holiday associates compared to 40,000 the previous year.
Kohl's said it will hire an average of 40 associates at its 1,158 stores, in addition to about 6,400 seasonal positions at distribution centers and 350 positions related to credit operations.
Seasonal associates can work from a few hours to more than 20 hours a week.
Hiring began this month and most open positions will be filled by mid-November, Kohl's said. Hiring for the distribution center jobs began in August.
According to a forecast from ShopperTrak, the busiest shopping season of the year may prove to be the weakest since 2009. The report comes after several major retailers voiced concerns over consumer spending, and some retailers have already launched discounts and rolled out ads in anticipation of holiday headwinds.
ShopperTrak also said retail sales will likely rise 2.4% in November and December, down from 3% growth in 2012.
Last month, Kohl's reported a second-quarter profit that fell 3.5% amid higher expenses. The company also issued a cautious earnings outlook for the third quarter.
Shares edged up 13 cents to $52.50 in mid-morning trading. The stock is up about 22% on the year.
