Sodium cyclamate (sweetener code 952) is an artificial sweetener. It is 30–50 times sweeter than sugar (depending on concentration; it is not a linear relationship), making it the least potent of the commercially used artificial sweeteners. Some people[who?] find it to have an unpleasant aftertaste, but, in general, less so than saccharin or acesulfame potassium.[citation needed] It is often used with other artificial sweeteners, especially saccharin; the mixture of 10 parts cyclamate to 1 part saccharin is common and masks the off-tastes of both sweeteners.[citation needed] It is less expensive than most sweeteners, including sucralose, and is stable under heating.
Cyclamate is the sodium or calcium salt of cyclamic acid (cyclohexanesulfamic acid), which itself is prepared by the sulfonation of cyclohexylamine. This can be accomplished by reacting cyclohexylamine with either sulfamic acid or sulfur trioxide.[citation needed]
Cyclamate was discovered in 1937 at the University of Illinois by graduate student Michael Sveda. Sveda was working in the lab on the synthesis of anti-fever medication. He put his cigarette down on the lab bench, and, when he put it back in his mouth, he discovered the sweet taste of cyclamate.[1][2]
The patent for cyclamate was purchased by DuPont but later sold to Abbott Laboratories, which undertook the necessary studies and submitted a New Drug Application in 1950. Abbott intended to use cyclamate to mask the bitterness of certain drugs such as antibiotics and pentobarbital. In the US in 1958, it was designated GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe). Cyclamate was marketed in tablet form for use by diabetics as an alternative tabletop sweetener, as well as in a liquid form; one such product was named 'Sucaryl' and is still available in non-US markets.
Controversy developed when, in 1966, a study reported that some intestinal bacteria could desulfonate cyclamate to produce cyclohexylamine, a compound suspected to have some chronic toxicity in animals. Further research resulted in a 1969 study that found the common 10:1 cyclamate:saccharin mixture to increase the incidence of bladder cancer in rats. The released study was showing that eight out of 240 rats fed a mixture of saccharin and cyclamates, at levels of humans ingesting 350 cans of diet soda per day, developed bladder tumors. Other studies implicated cyclohexylamine in testicular atrophy in mice.[3] On October 18, 1969, the Food and Drug Administration banned its sale in the United States with citation of the Delaney Amendment after reports that large quantities of cyclamates could cause liver damage, bladder cancer, birth mutations and defects, reduce testosterone or shrivel the testes. In the same month, cyclamate was approved for use in the United Kingdom and is still used in low-calorie drinks; it is still available without restriction in the UK and other parts of Europe. As cyclamate is stable in heat, it was and is marketed as suitable for use in cooking and baking. Commercially, it is available as Sucaryl.[4]
Abbott Laboratories claimed that its own studies were unable to reproduce the 1969 study's results, and, in 1973, Abbott petitioned the FDA to lift the ban on cyclamate. This petition was eventually denied in 1980 by FDA Commissioner Jere Goyan. Abbott Labs, together with the Calorie Control Council (a political lobby representing the diet foods industry), filed a second petition in 1982. Although the FDA has stated that a review of all available evidence does not implicate cyclamate as a carcinogen in mice or rats[citation needed], cyclamate remains banned from food products in the United States. The petition is now held in abeyance, though not actively considered.[5] It is unclear whether this is at the request of Abbott Labs or because the petition is considered to be insufficient by the FDA.
Cyclamate is approved as a sweetener in over 55 countries,[6] though it is banned in the United States.[7][8]
Sweeteners produced by Sweet'N Low and Sugar Twin[9] for Canada contain cyclamate, though not for those deployed in the United States.
This section requires expansion. (March 2010) |
In the United States, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration banned the sale of cyclamate in October of 1969 after lab tests in rats involving a 10:1 mixture of cyclamate and saccharin indicated that large amounts of cyclamates causes bladder cancer[citation needed] in rats, a disease to which they are particularly susceptible. Cyclamates are still used as sweeteners in many parts of the world, including Europe.
A 2003 paper reports the first epidemiological study designed to investigate the possibility of a relationship between cyclamate and cyclohexylamine and male fertility in humans. It states that "the results demonstrate no effect of cyclamate or cyclohexylamine on male fertility at the present levels of cyclamate consumption."[10]
In Taipei, Taiwan, a city health survey in 2010 found nearly 30% of tested dried fruit products failed a health standards test, most having excessive amounts of cyclamate, some at levels 20 times higher than the legal limit.[11]
In the Philippines cyclamate was once banned.[12] However in 2013, Philippine Food and Drug Administration lifted the ban and it was declared safe for Philippine consumption.[13]

At long last the Weezer train has stopped in Australia! 16 years is far too long to wait, but the much appreciated patience of the Australian fans is finally getting rewarded. Tonight we are in Australia's 3rd largest city Brisbane - or we were when we were at the hotel - now we're actually at an arena built way outside the city for the Commonwealth games some years ago. Eh, whatever works! Opening for the Australia run are Ball Park Music, a talented band who just finished playing (causing favorable comparisons to the Fray to get tossed around), plus Cloud Control who have just taken the stage with their semi-psychedelic dreamy Shin's-ish harmonizing and 60s keyboard sounds (including a nice cover of the B. Surfers' "Pepper" somehow worked into things).

Man charged in death of Paramus valedictorian pleads not guilty to unrelated Morris County charges
Philip Cise, who has been charged with vehicular homicide in the death of a Paramus woman in Pennsylvania over the summer, pleaded not guilty to unrelated criminal charges in Morris County on Monday, officials said.
Cise, 48, of Rockaway Township, pleaded not guilty to charges that he waved a scythe at a woman in the drive-through line of a McDonald's restaurant in Rockaway on July 2 and stole a truck in Jefferson on July 7, court officials said.
In October, authorities in Pennsylvania charged him with vehicular homicide and vehicular homicide while driving under the influence of a controlled substance in connection with the death of Gabrielle Reuveni, the 2010 Paramus High School valedictorian. Reuveni, 20, was struck and killed on July 14 as she ran along a road near her family's vacation home in the Poconos.
Authorities said Cise told them he took a painkiller, for which he did not have a prescription, in addition to prescribed lithium, which is used to treat bipolar disorder, on the day that he struck Reuveni.
Cise is being held in the Morris County Jail in Morris Township in lieu of $75,000 bail in connection with the Rockaway Township and Jefferson incidents.
A public defender representing Cise, Michael Fletcher, said Monday that his client maintains that he is not guilty of the two Morris County charges. Fletcher said that Pennsylvania authorities have placed a detainer on Cise, which would allow them to take custody of his client if he posts bail.

Six Moon Designs: Skyscape Trekker
Out of Stock
Skyscape models utilize a dual trekking pole support structure, slightly offset from the center of the tent. The offset yields extra head room when lying down, reducing that claustrophobic feeling. Further, it allows the Skyscape to be extremely rigid when guyed out, creating a structure capable of riding out the worst storms.
The Skyscape employs Hybrid Double Wall construction. Over 80% of the canopy is separated from you by a mesh wall, keeping that wet canopy at bay. The Hybrid Double Wall construction allows the vestibules roll back. On warm summer nights, convert the Skyscape into a net tent, pesky bugs stay outside while you enjoy the views and breezes.
The Skyscape's large side entry door lets you easily enter the tent or retrieve gear . With floor length over 100 inches, the Skyscape accommodates the tallest hikers. You can carry a light tent and still sleep well.
The canopy and floor of the Trekker are constructed with silicone nylon. This fabric has been the work horse of fabrics used to build ultralight tents for the last decade. It's main properties is its strength, light weight and that it's impervious to mold or mildew.
The Trekker is a great when you want to be light but don't want to break the bank.
- Hybrid Double Wall
- Rollback vestibules for excellent views and ventilation.
- Dual Pole structure is extremely stable in wind and snow.
- Wide ceiling gives plenty of headroom.
- Extended floor for tall hikers.
- Uses Trekking poles for support.

I do plainly and ingenuously confess that I am guilty of corruption, and do renounce all defense. I beseech your Lordships to be merciful to a broken reed.
Francis Bacon
This was a good beginning. All the outmoded rules of the hospital were broken. Minds which had been tied down by subservience to foreign experience were now set in motion. People began to speak, to think and to act boldly. A new world opened in front of them. They knew that what they were doing now was something unprecedented which doctors in capitalist countries had not been able to do. They were engaged in a battle to save lives and as the scope of the battle became wider an increasing number of people were drawn in. Later on when a difficulty occurred in the course of treatment they solicited the opinions of many doctors both within and without the hospital, depending on the wisdom of the many to tide over one crisis after another.
Li Yaotang
Not so great in England at the moment; in an online poll we came last, we actually came bottom of European countries for quality of life, because of things like the weather, obviously, late retirement, poor holiday, poor public services, poor health service; it's basically just a kind of grey, godless wilderness, full of cold pies and broken dreams.
Bill Bailey
By this act, all ties with the dreadful past are broken, and my government will be proud to be able to march with you on to the inevitable victory.
Pietro Badoglio
After falling for a very long time, as I surmise after the fact (I was falling so fast that I must have lost track), all I can remember is that I found myself under a tree. I was entangled in three or four rather large branches I had broken in my fall. An apple had squashed against my face and made it all wet with its juice. Fortunately, as you will soon learn, this place was the Garden of Eden, and the tree I had fallen into was none other than the Tree of Life. You would be quite right to think I would have been killed a thousand times over but for this miraculous good fortune.

On the highest steeps of Space he will have his dwelling-place, In those far, terrific regions where the cold comes down like Death Gleams the red glint of his pinions, smokes the vapor of his breath. Floating downward, very clear, still the echoes reach the ear Of a little tune he whistles and a little song he sings, Mounting, mounting still, triumphant, on his torn and broken wings!
Stephen Vincent Bent
Men are often praized for their sagassity, but all the fore sight in the world kant tell a dubble yelked egg untill it itz broken.

Most of all I was numb, but there were moments when the pain cut through like a shard of broken glass. I began to understand how despair led people to just cash it in; how suicide wasn't just an option but a rational option.
Joseph Robinette
He has a deep contempt for Britain, the British people and parliamentary democracy. He is trying to climb back to power via the Treaty of Rome, and put Britain under government from Brussels for ever. In 1970 Mr Heath solemnly promised that he would not take Britain into the Common Market without the full-hearted consent of the British people. He broke his pledged word then, and he now says he will not accept a 'No' vote on Thursday. Heath promised more jobs and higher living standards inside the EEC. These promises were all broken, and he now tells us we are so poor we cannot come out; beggars can't be chooses. That is false, too. Heath's leadership has been a total disaster for the British people. The Tory Party threw him out.
Anthony Neil Wedgwood Benn
When the liberal teaching became dominant, as is the case with most victorious causes, good arguments became less necessary; and the original good arguments, which were difficult, were replaced by plausible simplificationsor by nothing. The history of liberal thought since Locke and Smith has been one of almost unbroken decline in philosophic substance.
Allan David Bloom
The history of liberal thought since Locke and Smith has been one almost unbroken decline in philosophic substance.

When a poet writes about a poet, he does so as a poet. When a scientist talks about scientists, he does not do so as a scientist. If he does so, he uses none of the tools he uses in his scientific activity, and his conclusions have none of the demonstrative character he demands in his science. Science has broken off from the self-consciousness about science that was the core of ancient science.
Allan David Bloom
If you'd spent your life being called "Gyles Brandreth", you would crawl across broken glass to achieve the bliss, the simplicity, the purity, the joy of simply being called "Bob".

I had to pull about twenty pieces of broken glass out of my hand using tweezers and antiseptic cream. I'm never going to have a game of arm wrestling with Michael Howard again.
Gyles Brandreth
I have to come clean; I've broken a lot of laws, and the ones I haven't I've certainly thought about. I have sinned in thought, word, and deed. God forgive me. Actually God forgave me, but why would you? I'm here getting a doctorate, getting respectable, getting in the good graces of the powers that be, I hope it sends you students a powerful message: Crime does pay.

Due to the unforeseen situation, we have spent the past few days searching intensively not only for a new conductor for Così fan tutte, but also for the entire Mozart cycle. We are delighted to announce that the original concept – of working with one conductor, one stage director and an ensemble that is essentially the same throughout the cycle – can be maintained. Christoph Eschenbach has kindly agreed to collaborate on this cycle with Sven-Eric Bechtolf during the upcoming years.
Both artists have known each other for many years and are friends. Having heard outstandingly sensitive Mozart interpretations from Christoph Eschenbach throughout recent years, I am convinced that the cycle is in excellent hands.

"The two most important decisions have been made: the USA have a President again and Salzburg has a new 'Jedermann'," thus Festival President Helga Rabl-Stadler opened the annual press conference on November 7 in Salzburg with a display of ironic wit. Doubtlessly, the new production of Jedermann in 2013 will be the special focus of the media. In the opera, concert and drama genres, over 250 events will be presented at 14 performance venues.

7359! This is the number which the Goddess of Good Luck makes appear in the dreams of the "dissolute cloverleaf" – a carpenter, a cobbler and a tailor – in order to trick her rival the Love Fairy by making them win the lottery. An evil spirit is at work, preying on young men and leading them into forbidden debauchery, while rumours persist of a comet about to plunge to the Earth. An innocent young French peasant girl is visited by the Virgin Mary and promptly strides into battle against the English. A rich man unexpectedly encounters Death, the Devil and all sorts of other symbolic characters. Two pairs of lovers on the run in a forest find themselves tricked by elves and fairies. A beautiful orphan is pursued by a witch and taken in by dwarves while a computer-controlled arm from the automobile industry develops a menacing life of its own. Such are the remarkable events in the 2013 theatre programme.

Where do you Lead from?
- Are you a leader that is out front?
- Do you have an open door policy?
- Do you know what your staff are thinking?
As a subunit commander in the Army Reserve I have been taught to lead from the front. "Push forward and see what is really happening on the front line." The greatest military leaders would push forward regularly and see what was really happening. Meanwhile some of the greatest military disasters occurred due to commanders making decisions and plans from the rear, without a good situation awareness of what is really happening in the front line.
Does this apply in the civilian workplace? I say YES… I am amazed at the number of managers, senior managers and executives that do not "talk to the troops". Yes, I believe in the chain of command and that direction and taskings comes through that chain, but you need to develop situational awareness from the front line staff. There are a number of ways to achieve this. Some that I employ are:
- Saying hello to staff on arrival in the morning and make a habit to talk with staff in the building throughout the day. These discussions should occur at times without an agenda.
- At my Army Squadron I have directed that once a month we hold a BBQ at the end of the parade night that all personnel are to attend. This creates an informal opportunity for all ranks to mix and talk. This has contributed to a large break down of barriers in communication within the Squadron.
- Another method of pushing forward is to visit your staff in their workplaces. Visit all the sites that you are responsible for on a regular basis. Doing this regularly without an agenda builds trust and relationships with all the staff.
A good example of why pushing forward works was when I was responsible for a number of Children Services, which were located in over ten locations. On one of my visits I was talking to one of the educators which had nominated for some upcoming training. As far as I was aware the training was all organised and the staff that had nominated had all been informed. I found out that day, that this was not the case. The situation was easy fixed at that point, however if left longer, it would have been a bigger issue.
Another benefit of pushing forward aside from listening to the staff, their concerns and victories, is that you can share your vision. You need to be careful how you do this as you do not want to be seen as pushing forward just to sell your idea. However, when listening to your staff and answering questions the opportunity will come up to share your vision….
- When is the last time you had a conversation with a staff member without an agenda in mind?
- Have you served your client directly as you stand side by side with your front line staff?
- Do your staff see you as approachable (note: this is about what your staff think, not what you think)?
What makes for Good Customer Service?
This last week I popped into Officeworks to pick up some office supplies and was amazed at the level of customer service I received. It was a quick trip to the store, however the staff were very friendly and helpful. As I entered the store the staff member behind the counter that had just finished serving a customer looked over, smiled and said "hello". The greeter at door was busy serving someone else when I walked in. However as I headed to the area I was after he came to find me. The greeter offered his assistance… By the time I left the store every staff member I came in contact with smiled, said hello and offered their assistance. It was a textbook experience of customer service. On leaving I told the staff member serving me that everyone was so friendly and happy today. She responded with another positive comment.
It was a great experience and certainly left a good taste in the mouth. With an experience like that I will be going back there and telling my friends about it….. Just like I am telling you about the experience through this blog. So I guess delivering good customer service makes good business sense. It builds your brand by word of mouth and has your customers coming back for more. But how do you build good customer service in your team??? Did I hear training??? Well I think that training is good, however staff morale is first. If your staff are not happy and do not have good morale then no amount of training will create a culture of customer service. As a leader I believe that your front line staff serve your clients, while your leadership serve your front line staff.
So what makes for good customer service? In the case of my Officeworks example above the staff all smiled, were friendly, said hello and offered their assistance. They all had a focus on serving the customer and helping the customer to achieve what they came in the store to do. It is amazing how the small things make a difference….. A smile and a warm greeting goes so far in connecting with others. Each and every day I encourage you to smile and say hello to people you do not know. I find it not just brings a smile to others, but also makes me feel happier.
- What good customer service experience have you had in the last week?
- In what ways do you build a good culture and morale in your team?
- Do you smile and say hello to people that you don't know?
Time to Ponder
In recent times, I have had a few moments to stop, observe and review… Or in another term, to ponder. In a fast paced world I have found that it can be difficult to get time alone, with nothing to do, but think. When it is the last time that you have taken time to just ponder?
On of my favourite things to do while pondering is to people watch. I enjoy sitting down in a public space and watch people interact with each other. Even without hearing the conversation a lot can be taken in from just watching. Watching the actions, reactions and the body language. So much can be learnt through observing others.
Another benefit of pondering is allowing the time for one's own brain to think in a creative way. To think without an agenda is a freeing experience. It allows us the ability to think outside the square, to come up with new ideas and ways of doing things. I encourage you to take the time out of your busy schedule to just ponder….
- When is the last time that you took time to let you mind wander freely?
- What great ideas have come to you when you least expect it?
- What is the a favourite place for you to ponder?
Testing my Fitness
Last weekend I did a fitness and swim test. I used this tests as a gauge on my fitness levels. As you may be aware I have been on a health kick in recent times. I am eating healthier (with more improvements to come), sleeping more and have been exercising more. Though I am not the fittest person, I am fitter than I was three months ago. After all fitness and health is a not a competition with others, it is a competition with self.
Last year I did not look after myself. I did not exercise regularly, had little sleep and gained a fair amount of weight. My pants started to tighten around my waist and I knew that I had to do something about it. So for the last two months, I have been walking the dog (he was getting fat too), exercising regularly, sleeping more and eating healthier.
The results were clear. My fitness test was easier to do and I achieved results at a level that I have not done for years…. I still have a way to go and my weight is still a little high, but I am on track….
- Are you neglecting your health?
- Do you exercise regularly?
- Do you eat healthy?
- ?
What is your Stroke?
Last week my youngest daughter had her swimming carnival at school. She entered three events. She was first in backstroke, second in breaststroke and seventh (last)in the freestyle. She had a fun day and I a, proud that she gave the events a go. With the freestyle event, Anna focused on telling me all that things that went wrong. Her goggles were loose…..
It is interesting how we focus on what goes wrong and not focus on what went right. I asked Anna about her other two events. She had less to say…. In the end we celebrated her wins too.
After the conversation I took away three key points from the day, that can be useful in life in general:
- Have fun, give things a go!!!
- Review what went wrong and focus on the solution.
- Celebrate your wins.
The Cleansing Storm
This last week we had a huge downpour of rain in a short period of time. Though not as bad as some of the previous storms we have seen in the recent years, it was a big one. One of the offices I work out of is on Lake Tuggeranong, with great views of the lake. In the hour of so of the storm the lake rose, flooding the jetty.
The storm also caused havoc on the roads. There was mini flooding of roads and accidents resulting in some roads being closed. There was also property damage to a number of homes and even my children's school sustained considerable damage.
So, with all the damage and negative impacts, did anything good come out of it? Yes, there was. The drains that have been dry for a while and had various debris fall into them were cleaned out. All the debris flowed downstream into the lake. This filled the lake with junk. However 24 hours later the lake was clear too.
Another benefit was for the garden. Until the storm the garden was dieing. Within 24 hours the grass changed from the brown dusty patch to a bunch of green shoots. The trees whose leaves were going brown and falling off the tree, started to shoot new green leaves. So after the storm, there is new life.
So though the storm caused much damage it also resulted in cleaning up the debris and helping the growth of new life…..
- Are you experiencing a storm in your life?
- If so, what are the destructive impacts and how can you minimise these impacts?
- What are the cleansing effects and the areas of new life, resulting from the storm in your life?
Ending the Week with The Color Run
It has been a big week…. and a fun week…. In addition to my normal schedule of business, work and studies I got to do some awesome things. On Thursday morning I was the master of ceremonies for the "Achieving NQS Symposium" for the ACT Professional Support Coordinator and Children's Policy Regulation Unit. I was fortunate to be asked to do this and it was good to work in the the Children Services sector again.
Then on Sunday I did The Color Run in Canberra…. It was the first time I have run at a public event and it was heaps of fun. I look forward to doing it again. The theme was the happiest five kilometres on the planet was so true to the event. There was a real festive spirit at the event and everyone young and old was have a good time.
For those that do not know, The Colour Run is a fun activity, where you run or walk along a five kilometre course. Along the way there are colour stations that as you go through them hit you with colour….. So by the finish line you are covered in different colours. As you cross the finish line you are given a colour packet to throw up in the air at the finish line festival…… It is a great experience and I encourage you all to participate in one.
I was thinking about the Colour Run and how it was a good way to encourage people to exercise and be healthy in a fun and festive environment. there was also the social aspect of The Color Run and as you passed through each colour station there are people there encouraging you on…. So all in all it was a great experience in terms of friends, fun, fitness and encouragement.
Sparkle is full of Energy
Since the beginning of the year, I have had a change in lifestyle and moved towards a healthier lifestyle. One of the things that I have changed is regularly walking the dog, Sparkle. My aim is to walk Sparkle everyday. Honestly, this does not happen, but we go for a walk at least 4 times a week. I am amazed in the change in Sparkle.
Sparkle over the last two years has slowly risen in weight, he has been lethargic and also barking more. When I first started walking him regularly in January, he was so tired after the walk that he would come home and laid down. On the walk he would have his tongue hanging out and puffing. Though he enjoyed the walks, he was out of shape.
However, in recent time Sparkle's whole life has changed. He is more energetic, he barks less and is really focused on the walks. On returning home he does a victory lap or two around the yard. Each morning he is at the door waiting for his walk. In addition he is looking really good, in terms of weight and overall health…..
How applicable is this in our lives….. Does regular exercise add to our….
- physical wellbeing?
- mental wellbeing?
- emotional wellbeing?
The Epic Prank
Do you take things personally?
Do you get upset when people joke about you?
Can you Laugh at yourself?
At Cuboree last week I played a big prank on my youngest daughter Anna. Anna called it an Epic Prank. I have written an article about it as it had a great lesson for all of us about how we decode messages from others. We can choose whether we get upset or have a laugh. I outline the prank in my article in which Anna, took the whole prank very well and has promised to get me back….. Enjoy the article "How do you take things…. The Epic Prank"

Australia Day
Are you proud of your country?
I hope you answered yes to the above question…. If not, maybe you need to find a new home. As I travel the world I am always impressed to find that people are proud of their country and where they are from. They are proud of their culture, their nations successes and also their nations sporting victories. I am also proud of my nation, Australia. Yes, there are many beautiful places around the world and I could live in many of them, however I think it it is important to feel part of a nation and be proud of that nation. Not because the nation is perfect, but because it is my nation.
Today is Australia Day, it is not just a national day and an excuse for a public holiday, it is a day that all Australians can be proud to be an Australian. It is a day that all Australians can celebrate what is good about Australia. I believe that we should all be proud of who we are and where we are from. I hope that you are proud of your nation, just as I am of mine. Here are some reasons why I am proud of being an Australian:

- Australia has a diverse and beautiful natural environment
- Australia has a stable democratic political system
- Australia has a stable legal system
- Australia has a world class medical system

So today being Australia Day, I sit here at home thinking about the things I am proud of Australia and things I am grateful of that I live in Australia. That said I hope that you are proud of your country and where you are from.

I don't think he'll ever get rid of the 2004. Most of the development work on the 6R80 is driven (ha!) by the F-150 because of volumes, etc. and it was designed and in production well before my time here, but I have had a small hand in some of its upgrades/development |
3 days 17 hours ago | It's down to preference |
And real world mileage. I prefer a manual so I drive one. I also get better than epa mileage regularly, while that's much harder to do in automatics because of how the EPA tests. Also, can I ask which car you're looking at? Most likely my company has parts in it, as we do in most 8 speed autos, but depending on the model I may have worked on localizing the parts to NA myself! Since I keep asking, I'm currently in a VW CC 2.0T 6M and my next car is most likely going to be a GTI, but the Focus ST will get a fair shot too. |

3 days 18 hours ago | I work in the industry and I'm a huge car nerd |
If you get one with an automatic, it's got parts that come out of my plant and that I helped design. My boss has a 2004 Mustang GT, he claims his biggest regret in life was selling his 69 mustang back when... best of luck with it! |

3 days 19 hours ago | Good dealers will do whatever you need |
I wanted a black car with a manual transmission, they traded for one (they were thrilled to get rid of the beige one I drove. Good luck selling beige to someone who wants 3 pedals). Dealers trade cars all the time, they should be able to find you what you want. A good option is to call a second dealer, let them know that you're having trouble getting the car you want, see what they'll do for you. Another option that helps with haggling is Costco - they have deals set up for member prices at lots of dealerships. Both of these options give you leverage over the dealer that you're dealing with. As soon as they know that you can happily get your car elsewhere for a better price, they'll haggle. |
3 days 19 hours ago | What Car? |
See, now I'm just wondering what car you're looking for with orders ending in 3 weeks that means it's something with an all-new 2015 model coming out this fall (summer tooling changeover). I would guess that you want an F-150, but those are all over the place and easy to get. I'm going with you want to get a Mustang with the solid axle before those go away. |

Before we disparage part of the 3-headed-monster, let's not forget that Bill Wennington is currently the Bulls radio color analyst, where he does a fine job of being totally corny and somewhat helpful and not at all objective. He often talks about the time when he and Michael Jordan combined for 57 points in MSG (MJ's famous return game) Anyone who has a MF'n MCDONALDS sandwich named after them surely has a fan base/following: Beef Wennington – A burger solely offered in the Chicago area in 1998–1999, named after former Chicago Bulls player Bill Wennington.

Provisional Government of Mexico (1823–24)
Supreme Executive Power Supremo Poder Ejecutivo |
Coat of arms of Mexico in 1823 | |
Government of Mexico | |
In office April 1, 1823 – October 10, 1824 |
Preceded by | Constitutional Monarchy Agustín I |
Succeeded by | Federal Republic Guadalupe Victoria |
The Provisional Government of Mexico, was an organization denominated Supreme Executive Power (Spanish: Supremo Poder Ejecutivo)[1][2] which served as Executive to govern México between 1823 and 1824, after the fall of Mexican Empire of Agustín I.[3] The organization was responsible for convening the creation of a Federal Republic, the United Mexican States and was in effect from April 1, 1823 to October 10, 1824.[4]
On September 27, 1821 after three centuries of Spanish rule, Mexico reached its independence. The Treaty of Córdoba recognized part of the Viceroyalty of New Spain as an Independent Empire, which was recognized as "Monarchist, constitutional and moderate".[5] The new country adopted the name of Mexican Empire.
A minority of the Constituent Congress in search of stability elected as monarch Agustín de Iturbide and thus he was proclaimed Emperor of Mexico on May 18, 1822.[6] However, the Constitutional Empire soon demonstrated the incompatibility of its two main parts, the Emperor and the Constituent Congress. The deputies were imprisoned simply for expressing their disagreements with Iturbide and finally, Iturbide decided to permanently eliminate the Congress, establishing instead a National Junta Board.[7]
The lack of Congress, the arbitrary nature of the Emperor and the absence of solutions to the serious problems that the country was facing increased conspiracies to change the imperial system.[8] Antonio López de Santa Anna proclaimed the Plan of Casa Mata which was later joined by Vicente Guerrero and Nicolás Bravo. Iturbide then was forced to reestablish the Congress and in a vain attempt to save the order and keep the situation favorable to his supporters, he abdicated to the crown of the Empire on March 19, 1823.[9]
However, the Congress nullified the designation of Iturbide and therefore the recognition of the abdication and made seem the coronation of Iturbide as a logic error in the consummation of Independence.[9]
The Republic and the Federal Union[edit]
On March 31, 1823, Constituent Congress appointed a triumvirate consisting by Nicolás Bravo, Guadalupe Victoria and Pedro Celestino Negrete to lead the nation, this organization was named Supreme Executive Power.[10][11] To replace Bravo and Victoria, who were not in the capital, were chosen and Miguel Domínguez and José Mariano Michelena.[12]
The Supreme Executive Power was commissioned to summon the former provinces now Free States, to create the Federal Republic and also to call elections for a new constituent congress. Also, had to overcome a series of political difficulties as the case of the Central American provinces that chose not to join Mexican Federation, the provinces of Oaxaca, Yucatán, Jalisco and Zacatecas that declared itself free and sovereign states,[12] also faced a conspiracy of supporters of Iturbide and anti-Spanish rebellion attempt.[10]
On November 5, 1823 was installed the new constituent congress. On January 31, 1824 was issued the decree which created the Constitutive Act of the Mexican Federation.[13]
The draft constitution was submitted for discussion on April 1, 1824, and was approved on October 3 of that year, and finally, was enacted the Federal Constitution of the United Mexican States of 1824 on October 4, 1824 by which was officially founded the United Mexican States.

$3 million in equipment lost as fire destroys Clay County building in Barnesville
An estimated $3 million in equipment was lost when a fire this afternoon destroyed the Clay County Highway Department building in Barnesville.By: Wendy Reuer, INFORUM
BARNESVILLE – An estimated $3 million in equipment was lost when a fire this afternoon destroyed the Clay County Highway Department building in Barnesville.
Clay County Sheriff Bill Bergquist said a new road grader worth about $200,000 was inside the building, along with two road graders, three plow trucks and a payloader.
Because of the losses, county officials are worried about snow removal efforts with two snowstorms expected to hit the area later this week.
Assistant County Engineer Nathan Gannon said officials are working to rent backup equipment in anticipation of the first system expected to hit early Thursday morning.
Fire crews gave up the battle to save the building about two hours after the fire was reported about 3:30 p.m.
Firefighters from Barnesville and Sabin decided to let the fire burn out when they realized the building couldn't be saved.
No injuries were reported, said Bergquist, who added that no employees were inside the building when the fire started.
The Salvation Army is on the scene.

Jamie Gutierrez Mora failed to meet the residency requirements to register to vote in Douglas County when she did so last year, the Nebraska secretary of state concluded Tuesday.
In a 14-page opinion, Secretary of State John Gale said his investigation shows that the former MECA board member did not live in South Omaha last December, as she indicated when she switched her voter registration from Sarpy to Douglas County.
.Gutierrez Mora was appointed in March to the Metropolitan Entertainment and Convention Authority board. She maintained a home in Belle�vue, and she told the Omaha City Council that she'd she picked a South Omaha rental property she also owned as her "domicile of record." She has pointed to her long-standing business and community affiliations with Omaha as evidence of her residency and said she lived at multiple locations. Gutierrez Mora has been active in several groups, including the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben, Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce, United Way of the Midlands and the Women's Fund of Omaha. Gale, who reviewed voting, property and vehicle registration records, along with other public documents after his office received a complaint, said Gutierrez Mora's definition does not match up with state law. Gutierrez Mora keeps personal belongings and furnishings at the South Omaha home, which she also uses for "entertaining of family members, the hosting of ministry groups," and for "just taking time to relax and unwind," a representative of the businesswoman said in an email to Gale. But Gutierrez Mora has declined to say how much time she spends in South Omaha, as opposed to her homes in Bellevue and Carmel, Calif., which Gale said is a key part of determining residency. "Domicile in Nebraska is indicated by a person's presence at that location, the intent to remain there and the intent to abandon any previous domicile," Gale said in a statement. "Having significant contacts with a community, whether personal, business or civic is meaningful when talking about someone's solid connections with a community, but that is very different when talking about the connections necessary for voter registration." Gale said he found no evidence to suggest that the Bellevue home was not Gutierrez Mora's primary place of residence when she registered to vote. He noted that the address of the Bellevue home is listed on her driver's license, vehicle registration, business filings and court filings. Gale pointed out that Gutierrez Mora's husband is registered to vote in Sarpy County, which also suggests that the couple has not abandoned the Belle�vue home in favor of one in Omaha. Gutierrez Mora's South Omaha-based business, Midwest Maintenance Co., may have provided a reason for her to spend significant time at the South Omaha property, Gale said. But he said that justification seemed unlikely, as Gutierrez Mora had listed the Bellevue home as her primary address in state business filings. As a result, Gale said, Gutierrez Mora's sworn statement on her registration — "To the best of my knowledge and belief, I declare under penalty of election falsification that: I live in the state of Nebraska at the address provided in this application" — "fails to be convincing." The oath also states that knowingly providing false information amounts to voter falsification, a felony. The Secretary of State's Office does not have the authority to prosecute crimes, but Gale said he would turn over his findings to law enforcement agencies if requested. Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine said he plans to read Gale's opinion and then will decide how he'll proceed. Gutierrez Mora could not be reached for comment Tuesday. She has said she does not believe that she has done anything wrong. "I will tell you, I don't think I did anything wrong, " she told The World-Herald last month. "It has never been my intention to mislead anyone, misrepresent anything. I think that needs to be considered."
Gutierrez Mora resigned from the MECA board last month, after discussing the matter with members of the City Council. City Attorney Paul Kratz had earlier issued his own opinion that Gutierrez Mora did not meet the requirements to serve on the board.
Now officials are moving forward with plans to tweak the residency requirements to clarify them, and to appoint a new board member.
The Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce is backing developer Jay Noddle for the seat.
Chamber spokeswoman Karla Ewert said Tuesday that two people have approached the group, asking for its support in the process of filling the position. Chamber officials met to discuss those two candidates — Noddle and Kent Pavelka, who runs an advertising and media relations firm — and agreed to endorse Noddle.
Chamber President David Brown sent an email to City Council President Pete Festersen, urging council members to back Noddle.
"Jay has proven his ability to work with diverse groups and solve complex development problems," Brown wrote. "He has grown a successful company and has been involved in some of the highest profile and complicated projects in the state. He could bring that same expertise and commitment to the community to his work on the MECA board."
Festersen said he and City Councilman Ben Gray plan to meet with Mayor Jean Stothert today to discuss the idea of revising qualifications for MECA board members. He said the council wants to "have a consensus on the basic qualifications and standards for consideration" before appointing a new board member.

Thomson appeared before the International Rugby Board's independent judicial officer, Jean-Noel Couraud in London.
Thomson had been cited by a commissioner on a charge of foul play.
Couraud said the incident was at the lower end of the scale of IRB sanctions.
After viewing several angles of the incident, and hearing representations from Thomson, a member of the New Zealand coaching panel and an All Blacks lawyer, Couraud made his decision.
Due to Thomson's conduct at the hearing, and other matters placed before him, Couraud took a week off the low end entry point of two weeks.
Thomson's suspension will run until midnight on November 18. He has the right of appeal but is free to be eligible for selection against Wales on November 24 and England on December 1.

June 24, 2013 Pebble HuntingMatt Harvey Pitching to PitchersPECOTA ran a bit more than 1,000 hitter projections for 2013. The worst line it forecast was a .177/.205/.245 line from Elier Hernandez, an 18-year-old who had just hit .208/.256/.280 in short-season ball. The next worst was for Gabriel Rosa, who had just hit .245/.314/.406 in the Arizona instructional league, and who was forecast to hit .171/.200/.251. The average pitcher this year has hit .133/.162/.180, well below either player's forecast. So let's take PECOTA's word for it, and accept that major-league pitchers are, generally, worse hitters than every hitter in the majors, and every hitter in the high minors, and if not every hitter in the low minors then most. Let's say they're worse than every hitter in Nippon Professional Baseball, and every hitter in the Mexican League. Let's further assume that they're worse than a large number of hitters who have washed out of the minors because, through positional inflexibility and unsexy ages and generally limited upside and utility, are no longer allowed to take up organizational space—all the Eddy Martinez Esteves out there. How many is that? Around 500 big leaguers, around 3,000 minor leaguers, no fewer than 1,000 players scattered around foreign professional leagues, certainly dozens if not more college kids, a handful of extremely advanced high schoolers, and the hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Eddy Martinez-Esteve desaparicidos. Let's say that your average pitcher is the 10,000th-best hitter in the world. And then let's say that Matt Harvey is, oh, the fifth-best pitcher in the world. Imagine a movie by the fifth-best director going up in a film festival against a movie by the 10,000th-best director. Imagine the fifth-best jazz trumpeter in the world going up against the 10,000th-best jazz trumpeter in a jazz trumpet off. Imagine, for goodness sakes, the fifth-best pass rusher in the world charging against the 10,000th-best offensive lineman. So that's how you get this line, which is what pitchers have done against Matt Harvey this year:
On Sunday, John Lannan went 0-for-2 against Harvey, with a strikeout. That's an improvement; last year, Lannan struck out both times he faced Harvey, on six pitches. Today, by contrast, Lannan can feel good because he put the ball in play once. That's what pitchers get to feel good about when they face Harvey. Small victories, with small rewards. Think about facing Matt Harvey as a carnival game, with bigger and better prizes for smaller and less embarrassing failures. Tier 1 Victory: Touches Baseball
