Manly Jazz
Sat 4 Oct Mon 6 Oct 2014
Over the October long weekend come and see some of jazz's finest. Last year's 2013 festival included Lionel Cole (USA), John Morrison and Jackie Cooper with special guest guitar legend George Golla, Australia's Got Talent Grand Finalist Liam Burrows and the Andy Firth Big Band, as well as Australia's greatest gift to jazz vocals, Emma Pask. See the event website for more!
Manly Jazz attracts a mixed crowd from 'hard-core' jazz aficionados (that's everything from funk, blues, swing, trad and more) to family groups and those who simply love a festival in the sun and by the seaside. With a mix of intimate indoor venues and big outdoor stages along the famous Manly beachfront and Corso, Manly Jazz caters for all. And when the sun goes down the vibe continues in the many bars and music venues across town to keep the music going well into the night.
How To Get Here..
Public transport is the best way to get to Manly Jazz. Regular ferries from Circular Quay drop you right in the heart of Manly while buses are available right across the north shore and northern beaches.
Note that buses will replace ferries for several hours in the evening of Saturday 5 October 2013 due to the Royal Australian Navy's International Fleet Review Fireworks Spectacular on Sydney Harbour. Call 131 500 for up-to-date info on all ferry and bus timetables.
If you do choose to drive we suggest you park away from Manly's town centre, particularly over the long weekend. Roads can become heavily congested and parking close to the event can be difficult. You can find information on car parks in Manly at Manly Council's website.

Can not use color window - it is locked - hope someone can help
Which color picker have you set in the prefs? The system color picker or the Adobe one? Also what are your graphics settings? Any chance that you have a multi-monitor setup, but have removed a monitor or changed the screen layout? Also, do you use dialog repositioning e.g. in the nVidia Desktop manager? I'd check those things and in caser of doubt reset to factory defaults. Also, when trying to invoke the color picker, cycle through teh active Windows using Strg+Tab or Alt+Tab. There's a chance your dialog may show up there and can be selected. That way at least you know it is actually working, just nowhere to be seen.
Thank you for using your time!
1) color picker - if I Itake EDIT-PREFERENCE I can not find anyting with colour picker
2) Graphics settings - I do not know where to look
3) I do not have multi-monitor
4) I do not use nVidia Desktop manager
5) I do not know what Alt+Tab is good for
Is it possible to hit a bottom to reset all - becuse I am not a professor behind After effects - that will be the best soloution for me.
Thank you - and I have tryed online help - and the answer was - while AE starts you have to press CTRL+ALT+SHIFT - but it did not solve the problem.
If you for example choise LAYER - NEW - SOLID - it is possible to use the color picker - but still not possible to use the color palette with the color R - G - B.
Thank you - once again.
Here I want to change Grey-Red color (layer 2) - but in the solid color box the only thing you can do is to click on the red cross.
If I use the eyedropper I can here change the solid color - for example the white from Thorkild
The same problem as no.:2 - if I want to change color from CHARACTER palette.
Thor47 - Thorkild
Hello again.
I have found out of something, about the color problem. If I want to change the color via SOLID SETINGS - it now possible if you place the SOLID COLOR palette over the palette for SOLID SETTINGS - now you can change every color.
Here I have changed the color from red to white - and it works.
It also works in the CHARACTER palette.
I am happy that it works now - even if it is not the correct way told from Adobe.
Thank you for the replays.

Constructing a PBL classroom... the first weeks of school
The beginning of the year is fast approaching! I'm new to PBL and a pretty new teacher and I want to start off the year strong.
I thought we could share effective ways we start the year (curriculum, rules, activities, routines). How do you set up a PBL classroom? What rules and procedures/expectations/routines do you start setting up?
What are your classroom rules? Here are the rules I'm thinking of (they're NOT finalized). I want no more than 3-4. Rules can set students up to develop their abilities to collaborate, communicate, create, and reflect. These abilities are fundamental to PBL.
Here's my stab at creating rules that set up students well. I welcome your critique and wisdom.
- Think from different perspectives
- Speak your mind and listen to others
- Do the right thing even when no one is looking
- Communicate constructively
- Take risks
This discussion can become a resource for PBL classroom structure...

Services are scheduled this Saturday for prominent Mission businessman and civic leader Jim Schroeder. He passed away last Sunday, Dec. 2, at Doctor's Hospital in Edinburg.
Visitation will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. today at Ric Brown Family Funeral Home in Mission. Church services are scheduled for 2 p.m. on Saturday at First United Methodist Church of Mission, 1101 Doherty Avenue. Interment will follow at Valley Memorial Gardens.
Regarding his passing, Mission Mayor Norberto Salinas, said, "He was a very close friend. I don't know what we're going to do. He was unifying, and we saw him as a symbol of Mission. He was a very good man and always did a lot for the city. He was such an example for us…always giving us advice in a way that nobody would get upset."
Schroeder, president and CEO of Mission Paving, began his career there working summers during his high school and college years. He was following in his father's footsteps, Norman Schroeder, who began with the company 1952. His father went on to buy the company, and Schroeder became general manager in 1978 and president and CEO in 1983. The Mission company recently celebrated its 64th year in business.
He served as a director with NBC Bank of Mission, the Rio Grande Valley Santa Gertrudis Cattle Association and on the Mission Economic Development Authority board. Active in the Mission Rotary Club, he was a former director and a Paul Harris Fellow recipient.
For his continuing contributions to the community, Schroeder was named as Mr. Mission for 2012, the annual citizen's awards sponsored by the Progress Times, and was inducted into the Mission Historical Museum Wall of Fame this year.
Schroeder set up the "Shipping for Soldiers" program, initiated at Mission Paving after 9/11, which has now shipped over 5,000 care packages to soldiers fighting in the war on terrorism.
An avid classic car buff, Schroeder and his family also initiated the Annual Mission Classic Car Show in 2003, which has become one of the big-draw car events in the Rio Grande Valley.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"These looked beautiful! My only comment would be that the text size on the back was small and hard to read. Definitely make the text as big as possible."
"I took quite some time looking at many sites and by far Wedding Paper Divas surpassed all other sites with both user friendly choices and alternate options for editing. This specific Save The Date was great! I lived the style and the product shipped so quick! The picture was very clear and the text was also classic and clean. This product was set up great for mail by postcard. No items were covered by the postal service barcode or sticker. (Something to look out for!)"
"So happy we went with this save the date. Its very unique! And we have had a lot of compliments! The design team were very friendly and I really enjoyed being able to chat with someone about my concerns online. really neat that this website offers that! Cant wait to order my invites!"
"Great size for a postcard and the image quality is perfect. This is a great vintage design that is elegant, formal, and classy and compliments any picture with the option of color, sepia, or black & white photo. We chose to do a black & white picture and it came out great!"
"I added one of the photos from our engagement session, and they looked wonderful! I can hardly believe its my actual save the date it looks so well! I am working on addressing them right now but my family that has seen them, comment on how unique and beautiful they are! I love it and I can't wait to look for invitations to go with."

Yep, pretty much all of that.
You probably should read the 2012 Baseball America prospect handbook.
Do you really believe teams have so little understanding of sample size that one bad start or a six week good stretch in the midst of a couple of poor seasons dramatically changes trade value?
A rental player with a two year WAR around 0 is apparently worth close to his WAR. Shocker.
Escobar is just a week of ABs (24 I believe) away from not bein a prospect anymore.
So he was dealt for Matt Tolbert and Jeff Manship
John, all exceptional points. Today, Sunday, July 29, 2012, is a day that it really sucks to be Twins fan.
Interesting to say (because he is not a prospect anymore since he has been in the majors all season as he is about as much a prospect as Dozier and Revere are, but I bet Escobar would not crack the list of the top 10 Twins infield prospects (1B excluded). (in no order: Sano, Rosario, Harrison, Michael, Goodrum, Grimes, Beresford, Florimon, Jorge Polanco, Danny Santana)
I hate the trade for many reasons, but both of these guys are 23 not 27 and 30. There is still hope and one can hope. (But Ryan and the old boys' club has to go... They need new blood and new thinking ASAP.)
I agree with jorgen. I was hoping the Twins would get someone else's reclamation project but I think a lot of people need to realize how bad Liriano's been. Since 2008, he's had a 89 ERA+ and about 4 WAR, Blackburn has had a 87 ERA+ (in many more innings) and about 3.5 WAR. Liriano has had some nice moments but most pitchers do. He's had a ton of disaster starts and we weren't going to get much for a player like that.
I think one reason for trading now rather than waiting after his start today is that if he has 11 or 12 starts from this point on, then they burn up about 10% of his value and would presumably get even less in return. And going by that logic, I don't know why they didn't make a push to trade him after his start against Baltimore. Everything about this trade sucks.
This list assumes one big thing: That other teams valued Liriano at the same value the Twins did. The reality is that Liriano is having a terrible season, isn't the pitcher he was 6 years ago, and will never be the pitcher he was 6 years ago. To think otherwise is foolish.
A team that has a chance to go to the post-season will look at Liriano's 5.31 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and say "He's not worth it." Every other pitcher that has been traded for better prospects is BETTER than Liriano.
It was time for the Twins (and a lot of Twins fans) to get past "what-might-be" for Liriano and realize he is what he is. A inconsistent pitcher that has had an ERA over 5.00 three of the past four years. Twins are lucky anyone took him at all.
29. I hate that the Twins want Terry Ryan to return as full-time GM.
30. I hate that I'll see one or both of these mediocre prospects this Sept as the Twins try to reinforce that this was somehow a good trade.
31. I hate that I have this huuuuge headache after pounding my head into the table as I read the trade last night.
Well put. Too many of us are dreaming on what could be and not the reality of what is. Oriole fans had that problem with Daniel Cabrera for years.This list assumes one big thing: That other teams valued Liriano at the same value the Twins did. The reality is that Liriano is having a terrible season, isn't the pitcher he was 6 years ago, and will never be the pitcher he was 6 years ago. To think otherwise is foolish.

"13. I hate that the last time we thought a trade was almost this bad was when the Twins traded Capps for Ramos. And even then it wasn't this unanimous. And the Twins stubbornly kept overpaying and bringing Capps back for two years to justify it. "
Actually this is probably what White Sox fans are thinking....."We gave up two prospects for Liriano? HE SUCKS!"
Escobar is a better comp with Nick Punto. He was all glove and no bat at the time the Twins traded for him in 2003. He was entering his age 26 season. If Escobar's glove is as good as the reports, he will have value. He is two years younger than Punto at the time of the trade.
The BBA prospect handbook had three shortstops of similar age listed in the White Sox top 10. Escobar at #10 beat the other two out for a spot on the opening day roster. That has to show something about how he was valued in the organization.
I read the entire WSI forum thread last night (whitesoxinteractive), their initial reaction was generally positive, and they're a pretty high-strung bunch on that board.
yep!29. I hate that the twins want terry ryan to return as full-time gm.
30. I hate that i'll see one or both of these mediocre prospects this sept as the twins try to reinforce that this was somehow a good trade.
31. I hate that i have this huuuuge headache after pounding my head into the table as i read the trade last night.
Sickels was a lot more optimistic about pedro hernandez, saying he could be a possible 4 or 5. main thing that makes hernandez likely to fail though is the lack of strike outs. if he develops into a high leverage reliever though that's decent value. Escobar's crappy hitting worries me though, he might be another easy out-rally killer. I think Florimon might be ahead on the depth chart and Daniel Santana is coming along. Another thing I hate is that twins might be done trading now.. that'd be crappy work from Ryan..
Liriano had continually frustrated the Twins and with the stats he had put up how much was he really worth, if one of the players contributes it was an ok deal, if the Twins really want him back he will be a FA and go after him, which I wouldn't. It's not gloom and doom, go after a good FA pitcher in off season.
How do we know the Twins didn't negoiate with Liriano for a new contract?
Also, Liriano may have been the best "rental" available, but there have been reports on mlbtraderumors the past few weeks where teams weren't even sure if Liriano was a starter at this point. At the end of the day he is a guy who has posted a 5.09 and 5.39 ERA's in the past 2 seasons, we all know he is "better" than that, but it is what it is. Perhaps if Liriano would have went out in his last start and thrown 9 innings, 16k we could have got more, but instead he showed just what we have seen all along, which is that you never know which Frankie you will get game in and game out.
It sucks we didn't get better players, but at the very least Escobar allows us to shed both Caroll and Alexi's salaries next year and he can serve as the Util guy (upgrade defensively and speed) while saving the Twins 5 mil next year.
I have zero expectations for the pitcher they got, but who knows maybe they saw something they can fix.
The most apparent thing is that we all overvalued Liriano's true value due to a nice run of 10 starts or so, and the Twins indicated that offering him a 12.5 mil contract for 1 year was not in their best interest. So the two choices were trade him for what we could now, or lose him at the end of the season.
Lastly, other then Turner to the Marlins I'd say that the returns for every other player traded this trade season was very underwhelming, hell, the Angels got an Ace in Greinke and had to only give up one good prospect. It's not the end of the world. Let's see what else Ryan can trade this year and let's see what free agents he can pick up in the off-season before we go jumping off god damn bridges.
Liriano is a rental, period. So who cares that he was traded to the Sox. Now the Twins have to prove that they can hit him.
Someone compared it to getting Tolbert and Manship. Except the pitcher is a lefty and both are 23. Both can go back-and-forth to the minors for a few more years. Both probably means the Twins will say goodbye to Florimon and Bromberg this winter (which may not be all that bad).
The Twins can offer Liriano a free agent contract and see what people are willing to overpay. Of course, if he goes 10-1 with the Sox, the Twins won't be signing him.
Somehow, Liriano trade actually improves the Sox rotation.
It suddenly makes me realize that Span really isn't all the worthy of a great return. Think about it.

Moosejaw Staff Pick
"Being without my Monkeyman would be like meatloaf without the meat or sugar free licorice. I sport mine on most mild winter days, and when I'm boardin' or playin' out in the elements and it is cold as hell, I love it as a mid layer under my Gore shell. It makes the coldest of winter days bearable and the slow, windy rides up the lifts a joy. With my Mountain Hardwear Monkeyman, I laugh at the cold and challenge Michigan winters to keep me inside watching dvr'ed episodes of Jerseylicious or American Pickers."

My boyfriend loves this jacket. It is incredibly warm. It's not bulky, so he finds it excellent for layering. It shields him from the wind. This jacket is much less "thick" and bulky than the original Monkey Man jacket, but it is just as warm. Definitely worth the cost.
I have had this jacket for a year now and we've been together in many places in all kinds of weather. I have to say I love it and I love it the more I wear it.It is light but quite warm - not much wind-stopping though, as expected - feels really nice to touch and fits me great, too (size L: I am a 6' 1½", 194) . The material shows some wear, but not much considering what it's been through, and I can wear it to work as well hiking in the woods (bought in the rather neutral shark-black). Overall highly recommended!
I'm 5'7" 145 and this jacket felt like it was made for me ( mens small ) The moment I put it on I knew this was the jacket I've been searching for for a while. I go to Stockholm every month and this is my everyday coat in the fall and early winter. When the wind kicks up I throw an Apex Bionic over this and it becomes the perfect tandem to shed wind and light rain. The fit of the Monkey Man is perfect in this scenario because it allows a 'regular fit' softshell to go right over it when the elements get nastier.In the winter I just wear this under my Montbell Thermawrap pro parka and all is good in the land of the midnight sun when the temps dip to -20 Celsius.
I love this jacket for the fall weather, when we have crisp mornings and we are just waiting for it to get warmer to do our outdoor activities. This is my second monkey fleece, the first one I wore out at the elbows. I am hooked on these and will always have one.
I loved the monkey fleeces so much I had to replace the black half zip one that I had. They don't seem to make the 1/2 zip anymore, so I went with the full zip. Love the feel, especially nice after a workout in the cold weather. The full zip allows me to use it more as a light jacket versus the 1/2 zip that I wore more as a sweatshirt. After several years of use the black 1/2 zip became matted at the elbows. I still use it for active wear but keep this new one for wearing out.
This jacket is pure genius: Soft, yet durable, the long arms let you cover your hands and stay extra warm. I love the inside of the jacket being the same as the outside. I have had my jacket for almost 2 years and it's still soft enough that the ladies love to feel it. Makes for a great pillow as well! Just be careful how often you wear a pack with it because the back will start to mat down.
This jacket is awesome! Super comfortable and chicks always ask if they can wear it when they are cold because it looks so warm, fits great too. I'm 6'2" 185 and I bought a large. I give it two thumbs up like the fonz
The jacket was just as advertized. Very soft and extremely warm. It shipped in 3-4 days and came in its original unopened packaging. One issue I was worried about was the color, but the shade of gray came exactly as pictured. I had no problems whatsoever and love my new jacket!
So I'm a chick, and I bought this even though they make a women's verions, of which I own 3. I wanted this one because I like to wear longer sweaters in the fall and winter months sometimes and I need a longer fleece for stylish reasons. This one sits well around my rad bad behind. Instead if up at my waist. That's all. No difference in style from mens to womens other than it is longer at the waist and in the sleeves.Pluses: Longer than that womens, zippered pockets, hoodless, warm, stylish an soft.Minuses: Mine melted on teh interior a bit in the dryer. -First time I've ever had that happen to a fleece.

Malik Rose Channels His Inner Negro-Damus
What's the meaning of life? Who's my father? Am I gonna get sick? Does Tim Tebow really exist?
For centuries, people have turned to one man for life's great mysteries -- like Spencer Hawes averaging 15 points, 12 rebounds, and over two blocks per 36 minutes -- and that man is ... Philadelphia 76ers analyst Malik Rose?
If you're not familiar with the Chappelle's Show skit, that could've been construed as a really awkward comment by Rose and may or may not have caught his Emmy winner sidekick Marc Zumoff off guard a little bit. But if you caught it, then you likely enjoyed it as much as Sixers' fans are enjoying their current little five game winning streak.
I have a few questions for the Negro-damus. Malik Rose, why did Eric Snow fall asleep during a broadcast last year? Malik Rose, why do the Pistons suck so bad? Malik Rose, whatever happened to Geena Davis?

Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
"Who is John Galt?" asks a man who is walking along the streets of New York City, noticing the grime on the buildings and the cracks in the skyscrapers. Every fourth store is out of business, with windows dark and empty. For some unknown reason, talented people are retiring and disappearing. Pessimism and hopelessness rule.
Dagny Taggart, vice president of Taggart Transcontinental Railroad (TTR), aims to repair the crumbling Rio Norte line that serves the booming industrial area of Colorado. The state is one of the few places in not only the United States but also the world that is still prosperous, largely because of Ellis Wyatt's innovative ideas about extracting oil from shale. Other countries have become socialist states and are destitute.
James Taggart, Dagny's brother and president of TTR, tries to prevent his sister from getting new rail from Rearden Steel, the last reliable steel manufacturer. Industrialist Hank Rearden has developed a promising new alloy, but one that does not have the approval of most metallurgists. James would rather give the business to his friend, Orren Boyle, head of the inefficient Associated Steel. TTR's financial problems worsen when its San Sebastian line is nationalized by the Mexican government. The line, which had cost millions of dollars to construct, had been expected to serve copper mines that are run by an Argentine, Francisco d'Anconia, the world's wealthiest copper industrialist and a former lover of Dagny. D'Anconia, a dissolute playboy, has led his investors astray, thereby contributing to the general unrest.
James, in an effort to revive his company, uses his political clout to persuade the National Alliance of Railroads to pass a rule prohibiting competition. The legislation puts the well-run Phoenix-Durango Railroad, Taggart's competition, out of business. D'Anconia tells Dagny that he deliberately mismanaged his Mexican copper mines to damage d'Anconia Copper and TTR. Dagny is baffled, since d'Anconia had been a brilliant and productive leader.
Rearden and wife celebrate their wedding anniversary. Rearden's mother, brother, and wife argue that the strong are morally obliged to support the weak. Although Rearden regards the three of them with contempt, he goes along and provides for them.
Dagny and Rearden manage to build the Rio Norte line, despite an incompetent contractor and an overwhelming climate of pessimism. Rearden uses his metal to build an innovative bridge, but the State Science Institute tries to bribe him to keep the metal off the market. In retaliation for Rearden's refusal to cooperate, the institute issues a statement alleging possible weaknesses in the structure of Rearden's metal. Taggart's stock crashes, the contractor walks off the job, and the union forbids its members to work on the Rio Norte line.
Dagny decides to take a leave of absence from TTR and build the Rio Norte line on her own. She renames it the John Galt line, in a spirit of optimism. The government passes the Equalization of Opportunity law that prevents an individual from owning a company that does business with another company owned by that same person. Rearden, who has invested in the Galt line, is now prohibited from owning the mines that supply him with the raw materials needed to make his metal. Dagny finishes the line, ahead of schedule, and celebrates with Rearden.
Dagny and Rearden, now a couple, vacation by looking at abandoned factories around the country. At the ruins of the Twentieth Century Motor Company factory in Wisconsin, they find a motor that has the potential to revolutionize the world; but the motor is a wreck. When it worked, it pulled static electricity...

Summary (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
Atlas Shrugged is the fullest expression in fiction of Rand's philosophy of Objectivism. The novel begins sometime in the near future. Technology and fashion are close to what they were when Rand wrote the novel, but private property has been abolished in most countries, now called "People's States." Shortages, delays, and excuses are commonplace. The United States still maintains some freedom, but the government increasingly dictates terms to producers through planning boards and economic directives. A few notice that gifted people in business, the sciences, and the arts are vanishing.
The novel's opening line, "Who is John Galt?" introduces Rand's theme: the value of the productive individual. John Galt institutes a strike by the world's best minds against a collectivist social order. While Galt is the book's spirit, the main plot line focuses on Dagny Taggart, the vice president of Taggart Transcontinental, whom reviewer Mimi Reisel Gladstein has called "probably the most admirable and successful heroine in American fiction." Another important character is Hank Rearden, a self-made steel magnate. The novel's villains ruin the world by confiscating the wealth of the productive.
Dagny, aided by Hank Rearden and his new company Rearden Metal, tries to save her foundering railroads by rebuilding one of the company's abandoned lines (which she renames the John Galt line) into Colorado, one of the few states with a growing economy. Rand shows the joy of achievement through a thrilling account of the line's construction. Dagny and Hank persevere and triumph. Hopes for an economic turnaround in Colorado are dashed, however, by a series of new laws crippling the state's businesses. Rand's heroes can control nature but not politics.

Part 1, Chapter 1 Summary
"Who is John Galt?" That is the question asked by a homeless man of Eddie Willers, who is returning to his office at Taggart Transcontinental, the largest railroad company in the United States. Eddie is special assistant to the vice president at Taggart Transcontinental.
The homeless man's question bothers Eddie, though he insists that it does not. On his return to the office, Eddie goes to see James Taggart, the president of the railroad company. Eddie tells him that the Rio Norte Line has had another wreck. Taggart brushes it off, but Eddie insists that in order for the railroad to survive, the line must be replaced with Rearden Steel.

Part 1, Chapter 2 Summary
Henry Rearden watches as his foundry pours the first batch of Rearden Metal. He looks back on his past: he has grown from a teenage boy working in the mines to a rich captain of industry. He walks home, fingering a bracelet he had made for his wife. The bracelet is the first thing composed of Rearden Metal.
At home Rearden is greeted by his wife, Lillian; his mother; his brother Philip; and Paul Larkin, an old friend. His mother chides him for missing dinner; his wife is contemptuously supportive. Rearden apologizes for being late, but he is met with their insults, even though they live off the fortune he has made. Seeing the bracelet, Mrs. Rearden states that her son should have brought his wife diamonds instead of...

Part 1, Chapter 3 Summary
Orren Boyle of Associated Steel, Jim Taggart, Paul Larkin, and Wesley Mouch (who is Rearden's lobbyist in Washington) sit in a bar in "casual" conversation. Boyle is complaining that his company has been dropped by Taggart Transcontinental in favor of Rearden, who has the advantage because they own mines as well as factories. Taggart promises to get laws passed so that Rearden will lose his mines. Boyle is pressured to get his friends to push out Dan Conway of Phoenix-Durango, which has presented stiff competition to Taggart. Mouch sits silently, but Taggart promises to find him a job in Washington if he will stay silent about these plans. Taggart asks about the San Sebastian Line, which is serviced by one wood-burning train...

Part 1, Chapter 4 Summary
Eddie tells Dagny that McNamara, their contractor, quit and disappeared. Though inwardly despairing, Dagny promises that they will find another contractor for the Rio Norte Line. Leaving the office, Dagny walks the streets of New York and back to her apartment. She puts on Richard Halley's Fourth Concerto and notices in the newspaper that Francisco d'Anconia is in town. He is involved in a sex scandal that is about to break wide open, and he says he has come to see the farce.
James Taggart hurries his mistress out of his apartment so that he can dress for the Board of Directors meeting where he intends to corral Dagny. Right before the meeting, however, he receives a call from Mexico informing him that, just as...

Part 1, Chapter 5 Summary
Eddie shows Dagny the newspaper article that describes the rage of the Mexican government when they discovered that the San Sebastian mines that they had seized were worthless. She tells Eddie to call d'Anconia for a meeting. Eddie reminds her that this is "Frisco d'Anconia," her former lover. Dagny is not concerned.
Dagny reflects on her childhood with Francisco. The son of a wealthy Argentinean businessman, Francisco was reared all over the world so that he would feel a sense of ownership over the entire planet. Every year, he also spent time with the Taggarts. He ignored James and devoted his attention to Dagny and Eddie. Francisco admitted he liked Dagny simply because she would one day run Taggart...

Part 1, Chapter 6 Summary
Henry Rearden remembers at the last minute that he promised to attend the anniversary party planned by his wife. Rushing home, he throws on his dinner clothes and walks into the gathering. The guests are mostly people Lillian assumes to be his friends but are not. Most are intellectuals who support government regulation over such things as literature and industry. They believe that such oversight will in fact lead to greater competition.
James and Dagny Taggart arrive together, though James is inconsequential next to his "famous" sister. Another surprise guest is Francisco d'Anconia, whom James confronts about the San Sebastian copper mines. D'Anconia tells James that he was simply doing what the rest of the...

Part 1, Chapter 7 Summary
Dagny visits Colorado, where the Rio Norte Line is being rebuilt. There is trouble, however, because the factory equipment is inadequate for forming material from Rearden Metal. She orders the material to be made, no matter the cost. Ellis Wyatt has been working on the site, a sign that he has forgiven Dagny. When Hank Rearden appears, he suggests that the bridge, which has been judged to be too expensive to replace, should be repaired instead with Rearden Metal. Dagny agrees, grateful for Rearden's partnership. She asks him for a ride in his plane back to New York, but he tells her that he is going to Minnesota. When she goes to the airport, the attendant tells her that no flights are available for two days. He also expresses...

Eddie Willers apologizes to his friends in the underground cafeteria for not being there lately. He has been made Acting Vice-President of Operations, though Dagny Taggart is the one who is actually making the decisions, even as she is building the John Galt Line. Eddie describes the exhalation that he sees in Dagny because of the work she is doing. Not much has been known about the John Galt Line simply because it is a success.
Dagny, working late in New York before she returns to Colorado, notices the shadow of a man at the door of her office. She expects him to knock, but instead he jerks backward and leaves, seemingly in some battle with himself.
Rearden sells his mines to Paul Larkin in order to...

Dagny and Rearden wake up in bed together after a night of violent sex. Rearden tells Dagny he has nothing but contempt for her for what they have done. He does not love her, but he needs her and that repels him. Dagny is at first shocked and then bursts out laughing. She tells him that she is more depraved than he is and is willing to be the object of his lust. She considers her greatest achievement is to have made love to Hank Rearden.
James Taggart accepts the praise of the Board of Directors, claiming credit for the success of the John Galt Line. On his way home he encounters a store clerk, Cherryl Brooks, who recognizes him from the morning newspapers. She gushes about how the papers say James was the guiding force...

Part 1, Chapter 10 Summary
Wesley Mouch, the new head of the Bureau of Economic Planning and National Resources, promotes several new laws that are ostensibly designed to equalize interstate trade. The maximum speed and length of trains are to be limited. The number of trains run in Colorado must not exceed the number run in any other state. The output of Rearden Metal by Reardon's plant must not be greater than the output of other plants and must be shared equally with all. Colorado would be closed to the influx of relocating companies. Rearden discovers that Paul Larkin had not shipped the ore to Rearden's plants but had instead sent it to Orren Boyle, as per an agreement Boyle had made with James Taggart. Left with no other option if he intends to...

Part 2, Chapter 1 Summary
Dr. Robert Stadler of the State Science Institute is irate at the publication of a book by the Institute promoting the derivative theory that reasoned thought is nonexistent but is simply the result of chemical interchanges in the brain. Following Ellis Wyatt's destruction of his oil fields, an oil shortage grips the nation. Fewer people drive cars, and Dagny Taggart is forced to cut back on train operations. Many companies go out of business entirely. The government steps in and imposes oil rationing, which forces a return to coal as the major source of energy. Taggart Transcontinental has only one train left that uses oil; the rest run on coal. The heads of industry begin to disappear, voluntarily quitting their positions and...

Part 2, Chapter 2 Summary
Dagny notices that all the nation's leading industrialists are disappearing, so she tracks down and hires Quentin Daniels to work on the motor. She knows he works at the Utah Institute of Technology, but she is shocked to learn he is just a night watchman. Daniels explains that there are no research centers that are producing anything worthwhile, so he uses the UIT to provide himself a place to do his own research unwatched. He agrees to work for Dagny but at a low monthly wage; he says he will not take her money until he produces something worthwhile. When he does, he will demand a high percentage of the profits. Dagny agrees. Daniels will continue at UIT to work on the motor. She sends him a check every month, and he sends a...

Following the reception, Lillian says she is going to take the train home. Rearden refuses to accompany her, stating that he has business in the city the following morning. He goes to Dagny's apartment and apologizes for coming to the reception with his wife. Dagny says there is no need for forgiveness; she has always accepted the fact that he is married and feels content with things as they are. When Rearden returns to his hotel room the next morning, he finds Lillian sitting there. She had felt sure he was not coming back to the hotel because he has a mistress somewhere. She does not know who the mistress is, but she assumes it is some low-class girl who is content to fulfill Rearden's animal passions without love. She tells...

Part 2, Chapter 4 Summary
On Thanksgiving, Rearden dines with his family but has finally decided he will no longer accept their moralizing. When his brother Phil states that Rearden of guilty of greed, Rearden tells him that it would be better if he would leave and live life on his own rather than live off Rearden's money, which he finds so distasteful. Phil begins to backtrack; he says he was speaking in general terms about politics, not against Rearden himself. When Rearden gets up to leave, he tells Lillian he is going to New York, and she understands that he is going to his mistress.
The following day, Rearden stands trial for his "crime" of selling Rearden Metal to Ken Danagger. Rearden refuses to participate in the trial. He will not...

Part 2, Chapter 5 Summary
Due to the loss of copper, Rearden Steel is not able to fulfill its orders for the first time in its history. Without the steel, the railroad lines cannot be rebuilt and repaired. Without the railroads, goods cannot be delivered. Without the goods, businesses fail. The country sinks into starvation and depression. The Rio Norte Line has very little business even though it has the most stable line. Colorado, where the line is located, suffers more than any other place in the country.
The Taggart Transcontinental Board of Directors holds a meeting to discuss the situation. When it appeals to Dagny, she claims to have no opinion and no proposal to save the company. She points out that the decisions previously made by the...

James Taggart travels to Washington to join with others involved with the government to discuss the future course of the nation. Mr. Thompson, the Head of State, is also present. They decide to enact Directive 10-289 to theoretically stop the economical decline. There are several severe implications of the Directive: all workers must remain in their present positions, neither resigning nor being fired; all businesses and industries must remain in operation; all patents and copyrights will be turned over to the government; no new devices or products may be produced or sold; all businesses will sell the same amount of goods and services as they have been selling; all people will be required to spend the same amount of money as they...

Part 2, Chapter 7 Summary
Eddie Willers meets his worker friend in the cafeteria. He talks about the state of the country and how laborers are walking off their jobs and roaming the countryside. Because quitting a job is illegal according to Directive 10-289, these laborers are labeled "deserters" and are imprisoned if caught. Since Dagny resigned her position as Vice-President of Operations, James Taggart has filled the post with his friend, Clifton Locey. Locey is bringing Taggart Transcontinental down because he refuses to make decisions to keep the railroad running safely. Eddie's friend tells him that he will be going away for a while.

Dagny stays at her retreat at Woodstock in the Berkshires, New York. She avoids thinking about the railroad as much as she can but often wakes up in the night worrying about it. One day she hears the sound of a car over the music coming from her radio. She hopes that it is Rearden, but it is Francisco d'Anconia. He has come to convince her to join him in his own exile. He tells her that, twelve years before, he was the first industrialist to walk away from his company. But he does not disappear as the others have done; he stays to destroy to keep it from the looters. Dagny cannot understand how he could destroy something he loved, but d'Anconia tells her that it is because of his love that he has been working to take it apart...

Part 2, Chapter 9 Summary
Dagny stands at the window of her apartment with Manhattan Island spread before her; she thinks it looks like a sinking ship. Francisco d'Anconia arrives, which does not surprise her. He no longer has the look of a playboy. He has come to talk to her about the accident. He realizes that he cannot stop her from returning to the railroad, but he still tries. She will stop only when she realizes that her work is in the service of man's destruction. He reminds her that he is in effect her enemy and that he plans to destroy that which she loves. Dagny asks d'Anconia if he is one of the destroyers. She wonders if it was he who was in Ken Danagger's office before she came to convince him not to leave. He denies it. He says that...

Part 2, Chapter 10 Summary
As Dagny crosses the plains, she is depressed by the desolation she sees along the way. At one stop, she sees the conductor pull a tramp off the train. There is some quiet dignity about him that impresses Dagny, so she invites him into her private car. He explains that he has been traveling around without holding a job long over the past several years. He was a factory worker, but all the factories kept closing not long after he was hired. He introduces himself as Jeff Allen and tells Dagny that he used to work at the Twentieth Century Motor Company in Wisconsin, where she had found the motor. He tells her of the Starnes heirs, the owners of the factory, and their new policies. The workers were told to work according to their...

Part 3, Chapter 1 Summary
Dagny regains consciousness and finds herself lying in a field of grass in a mountain valley. She is looking up at a face that strikes her as free from guilt or pain. He addresses her by name and then introduces himself as John Galt. When she asks where she is, John Galt tells her she is at Taggart Terminal. Dagny is unable to walk, so John Galt carries her to his small home and places her in the guest room. On the way, Dagny sees a large golden dollar sign. John Galt tells her it is a joke by Francisco d'Anconia, a symbol of what the valley stands for. The valley is protected by rays invented by John Galt, who also invented the motor. She meets Hugh Akston (who greets her) as well as Midas Mulligan, the banker who owns the...

Part 3, Chapter 2 Summary
The next morning, as Dagny is cooking breakfast and John Galt is out checking on the ray screen, a stunningly beautiful man bursts in the door. He stops when he sees Dagny but expresses his pleasure that she has decided to join them. She explains that she is a "scab," meaning that she is there but does not belong. He tells her that he has been watching her progress for some years. When John Galt returns, he introduces the man to her as Ragnar Danneskjold. Dagny is shocked to face the infamous pirate in person, but he explains that he has only stolen from those who steal from others. He tells her that the others in the valley (known usually as Galt's Gulch) do not approve of his means of protest. He tells Dagny that he has a...

Part 3, Chapter 3 Summary
Dr. Robert Stadler is invited to a demonstration in a field in Iowa. Viewing stands have been constructed for the viewing. Dr. Floyd Ferris reveals Project X, which is a sonic ray weapon. He uses it to demolish a farmhouse and some goats. The crowd is horrified, as is Dr. Stadler, whose research has been used to build this weapon. He points out that the world is at a standstill because of the economic crisis and does not have the resources to wage war. Dr. Ferris says the weapon is for maintaining internal peace, to control American citizens who are threatening the security of the government.
Dagny finds a small-town reporter and tells him to publish the news that she is alive and on her way back to New York. When she...

Part 3, Chapter 4 Summary
James Taggart learns that Argentina will be declared, like most of the other major nations, a People's State and will thus nationalize d'Anconia Copper Mines. He buys stock in a new company so he will have control when the State seizes the mines. This, with his other investments, ensures that he will have a major influence in every State in the Southern Hemisphere. On the way home, he gives a tramp a one hundred dollar bill because it is the only thing in his pocket. The tramp is as indifferent to this as James is.
When he returns to his apartment, he asks Cherryl for some champagne so they can celebrate. She is indifferent to the celebration, having lost all admiration for James since their marriage. She begins to...

Part 3, Chapter 5 Summary
Because of the copper shortage, the nation's infrastructure begins to break down. Telephone lines cannot be replaced. Cuffy Meigs is the sole decision maker of what constitutes an emergency, and he will take no action. Dagny transfers some of the company's copper to California, which is one of the few states where oil is still produced. James begs Dagny to do something. He says that if he is miserable, it is her fault. If people suffer, it is blamed on those who could alleviate their suffering but do not. He had planned to surprise her with the news of his control of D'Anconia Copper, but just as soon as the company was nationalized, every property and material that belonged to D'Anconia Copper was destroyed. Rearden is...

Part 3, Chapter 6 Summary
The workers at Rearden Steel request a raise; however, they do not present their request to Rearden himself but to the Unification Board. Rearden learns of it only indirectly. He also learns that the Unification Board has denied their request. When the newspapers report that the Rearden Steel workers are near destitution and that their request for a wage increase has been denied, they fail to mention who exactly turned down their request—they allow the assumption that Rearden did it. Rearden receives a notice that his bank accounts have been "attached" (garnished) for three years' worth of unpaid back taxes (which is a false accusation). He agrees to meet with the Unification Board on November 4.

To calm the chaos, newspapers begin to print stories with differing accounts of Rearden's disappearance to give the semblance that the powers that be are in the know. Dagny receives a note: "I have met him. I don't blame you." Rearden must have met John Galt.
To quiet the fears, the Head of State Thompson plans on addressing the nation by radio. Just minutes before the broadcast, the radio signals fall silent all across the nation. It appears that some kind of transmission is blocking them. At 8:00, when Thompson was supposed to speak, a voice comes on and announces that it is...

Part 3, Chapter 8 Summary
Panic erupts in the radio station following John Galt's broadcast. The men disagree whether they should resume regular broadcasting without comment or make a statement so the public will not think the state has endorsed John Galt's message. Dagny tells them they should give up, step aside, and let free men live their lives. The men discuss the next course of action in relation to John Galt.
Eddie Willers tells Dagny he has known John Galt for years and did not realize it. Galt was the worker with whom Eddie always spoke in the cafeteria. Dagny tells him he will not see John Galt again. Thompson tries to calm the country following the broadcast and calls out to John Galt to come to negotiate with the government....

Part 3, Chapter 9 Summary
Dr. Stadler sees the John Galt Plan broadcast and hears Galt cry, "Get the hell out of my way!" Stadler decides he wants no part of the government. He drives to the testing site of Project X, where the sonic ray is stored. At the entrance, no one knows who he is. It is clear that another group has taken over the site. Dr. Stadler learns that Cuffy Meigs is now in possession of Project X. Dr. Stadler and Meigs fight over the controls and accidentally set it off. The machine, the building, and everything and everyone within a hundred-mile radius is destroyed.
Dr. Ferris decides it is best that John Galt be tortured into taking over the country as an economic dictator. Dagny hears about this and frantically tries to...

Part 3, Chapter 10 Summary
Dagny approaches the guard at the door of Project F, where John Galt is being tortured. When the guard refuses her admittance, she says she is there on the order of Mr. Thompson. The guard argues that he has no orders to accept orders from Mr. Thompson. Dagny questions him as to his understanding of her identity, which he confesses he knows. She tells him that he has the choice of either letting her in or being shot. He breaks down, unable to make a decision, so Dagny shoots him. Francisco d'Anconia joins her, as do Hank Rearden and Ragnar Danneskjold. The other guards are tied up. They enter the project and are confronted by one of the other guards, who leads them to where John Galt is being held. D'Anconia and Rearden enter...

Cedaredge's study on a new sewer plant site is heading in two directions following a board of trustees' decision reached on July 18.
The board accepted a proposal by its current engineering firm, JVA, to conduct a month-long reassessment of the town's existing sewer lagoon system located in Hart's Basin.
The reassessment will move forward as JVA continues to evaluate the trustees' favored sewer plant site on land currently occupied by the 11th hole on the Cedaredge Golf Course.
The decision to re-evaluate the current lagoons came one week after the town board received an unsolicited proposal from an outside engineering firm, SEH. The SEH proposal asserted that the work done by JVA "did not include a thorough investigation into the re-use of the existing (Hart's Basin) site." JVA's project engineer who has been working on the project for over two years disputed that assertion.
At the town board's July 18 meeting, JVA project engineer Josh McGibbon made his pitch, and an appeal, to get the reassessment work which SEH had proposed a week earlier. "JVA is the right team to provide this evaluation. We have studied, dwelled, dreamt, philosophized, and studied again the Town's wastewater systems. We have the background knowledge, history and relationships to find the best solution for the Town," JVA stated in its proposal.
JVA proposes to hire a third-party engineering firm and a contractor in the wastewater field to consult in a reassessment of JVA's work done in 2011 that examined the current lagoons for extended use, according to the company's proposal. New options will also be presented, the company said.
Describing JVA's previous work, its proposal states, "The 201 Plan update (in 2011) included several alternatives for complying with the very stringent (limits) for phosphorus and future permit limits. These alternatives included the three options for pumping from the existing site to Surface Creek, two options for upgrading the (lagoons) on the existing site and an alternative to relocate the (lagoons). Based on the opinion of probable cost, JVA recommended relocating the (lagoons) with support from staff and the board wastewater committee.
JVA's bid for its work was $14,000. SEH had bid $21,780 for its proposed reassessment work.
McGibbon said that JVA evaluated the Hart's Basin lagoons and looked at several options in 2011. Following the town board's July 18 meeting, McGibbon outlined for the DCI his reasons for deciding to abandon the Hart's Basin facility at that time two years ago.
• Pending new EPA regulations at the time raised questions about whether the lagoons would ever be able to become compliant with treatment standards.
• The lagoons were, and still are operating at 80 to 90 percent of capacity on a site with insufficient room to expand.
• There was, and still is pressure from government agencies and downstream irrigators to move the town's sewer plant permanently out of the Hart's Basin drainage.
• The town had been operating its sewer plant without a required state health department permit that would not be issued for another two years.
• Two years ago, time was of the essence in moving forward with siting and design studies.
Now, McGibbon told the trustees on July 18, those dynamics of the situation have changed. The town has a newly issued five-year operating permit for its lagoons from the state giving "breathing space" to look at options; the EPA's regulations have been finalized and it is known what sewage treatment standards will be required; and, "new technology" for meeting those standards is being brought to market, and it might be suitable for retrofitting the town's current lagoons.
The public's and, apparently the trustees', first clue that a less expensive sewer plant option might exist came during the town board's July 11 work session. That is when the proposal from SEH was presented. The question why the town and its own engineer hadn't proposed the idea earlier was addressed by Town Administrator Katie Sickles' response to the DCI. In an e-mail she wrote, "Everybody had this revelation about 'time' about the same time. SEH was one of many engineering firms that we communicated with in our network and in due diligence to assure the soundness of the project."
Cedaredge resident Jerry Mendralla told the town trustees on July 18 that the situation "creates confusion in my mind," and in the minds of others. Planning work on the new sewer plant for the last two years has been focused on the single goal of locating it outside of the Hart's Basin drainage. He suggested the town do something to try and explain to people what is happening with the project.
Public Works Director Dave Smith backed up the work that JVA has done saying they have been "laser focused" on finding the most affordable option for the town. The two most affordable options JVA has proposed for a new sewer plant site to date, Smith noted, have been rejected by the town board for political reasons.
The JVA reassessment of the present lagoons will include six elements, according to the company proposal: "meet with staff and contractor to brainstorm options at the existing facility; review the latest flow, loading, and population data to confirm previous assumptions; evaluate a minimum of two additional alternatives including retrofit of existing lagoons, and a new secondary treatment process; evaluate a minimum of three tertiary or polishing treatment steps following secondary treatment options above; prepare opinion of probable cost for each alternative including O&M with assistance from an experienced contractor; prepare site layout drawing of two selected alternatives for further cost evaluation from contractor."
The JVA proposal echoes trustee concerns over the town's inability to afford a wholly new mechanical sewage treatment plant. The JVA proposal states, "While applying for applicable grants and loans, it appears the town may not have the available funds for this project or may cause unwanted rate increases on their customers."
Administrator Sickles told the DCI, "I would like to state emphatically that the current sewer lagoon site has three real options: 1) not suitable to upgrade; 2) can be upgraded for a short period; or, 3) can be upgraded and expanded for a longer period.

This summer, the 21 and over crowd who dine at the Four Seasons' Splash Pool Bar & Grill can enjoy adult versions of a famed cool treat: the popsicle. These alcohol-infused popsicles, deemed "poptails," are the brainchild of Four Seasons beverage manager and master sake sommelier at PABU, Tiffany Soto.
According to Audrey Slade, director of public relations at the Four Seasons, Soto's "love of ice cream and wine" inspired this grown-up spin on a childhood favorite.
Current flavors—which rotate on a daily basis—include raspberry Beaujolais cheesecake, Baltimore orange crush dreamsicle, pineapple MaiTai, ultimate white Russian, strawberry sage Sauvignon blanc, watermelon rum punch, and a perfectly patriotic red, white, and blue sangria, which will be available on the Fourth of July. Poptails are $9 each.
Later this summer, Soto will be holding a poptail making class. Details are still in the works.
