About Us Who we are and why we do this
Superb Game Viewing in Zimbabwe
Until 2001 it was seen as one of the finest countries for a top quality wilderness experience. The guides were the best in Africa, and the Zambezi River, the open plains of Hwange and the unique Kariba shoreline were settings for enthralling game viewing adventures. The political chaos of the last eight years saw a drop in tourism and the closure of many lodges and camps.
Zimbabwe Safari Holidays
Yet it is now ready to welcome tourists again and we think that as soon as political change happens it will quickly revive as one of Africa's most exciting destinations. There are still tens of thousands of elephants and vast numbers of plains game in Hwange with almost no-one to see them. Herds of buffalo, carefully protected rhinoceros and prides of lion roam the Kariba shoreline watched by pods of yawning hippo and crocodiles which lurk menacingly in the semi-submerged tree lines. Paddling and drifting down the Lower Zambezi for a few days on a canoe remains an unforgettable adventure, while the Chimanimani Highlands are some of the best for walking in Africa.
An Exciting Safari in Zimbabwe
A number of Zimbabwe's best camps are still running and are set to thrive as tourists return. Makololo Plains is a luxury tented camp deep in Southern Hwange, almost besieged by elephants as the long dry season advances. At Ruckomechi you can enjoy walking and thrilling game drives in the dreamlike landscapes of Mana Pools as well as sunset boat rides on the Zambezi, and in Kariba Steve Edwards superb little Musango Camp is now joined by a reopened five star Bumi Hills Safari Lodge. And of course that Grand Old Lady, the Victoria Falls Hotel with her classic courtyards and red tiled roof, established in 1904 – still the best place to admire the mile wide waterfall.
So, if you want to beat the rush back to this magnificent destination call Africa Exclusive and we'll organise a magical fly in safari. The camps and lodges are running well, the wildlife is in great condition, the infrastructure works and the patient and friendly people will welcome you with open arms.
Zimbabwe Safari Seasons
Dream holidays here are significantly affected by the changing seasons. The best times to visit are in the long dry season from April to the beginning of November. During these months the weather can be some of the most pleasant in the world with long sunny dry days and crisp cool nights. Hwange's plains game and 25,000 elephants gather in increasingly large herds as seasonal waterholes dry out and cats and smaller creatures become easier to see as vegetation becomes more sparse. Walking through the wilderness is a delight at this time, as is canoeing the mighty Zambezi which is often lined with wildlife of all kinds and abundant birds.
Nearly all of the country's rain falls between November and the end of March. During these months the enormous elephant and plains game herds in Hwange disperse due to the abundance of groundwater, and in the World Heritage Site of Mana Pools, it become difficult in the sticky "cotton soil". Victoria Falls is also seasonal and at its fullest between February and June. At other times of year the falls are still spectacular and you can see parts of the rock formations behind the cataracts. The wide range of activities at Victoria Falls are possible at most times of year.
Make sure you call us at an early stage so that we can design an itinerary that is perfectly matched to the time of year that you want to travel.
Useful Information
There are no direct flights from London to Harare, Zimbabwe so to visit the country you would fly overnight to Johannesburg connecting the following morning with a two hour flight either to Harare or Victoria Falls. A visa (£35 depending on your nationality) can be obtained at the airport on arrival. We will usually arrange your travel within the country by air using the efficient network of light aircraft to take you quickly and conveniently between remote regions.
It has a wide variety of spectacular scenery including open savannah plains of Hwange, beautiful Mana Pools beside the wide Lower Zambezi, the unique landscape of Lake Kariba fringed by semi submerged trees and of course Victoria Falls. The country also has a fascinating history which can be experienced in Bulawayo and Great Zimbabwe, famous for its mysterious ruins.
The guides are recognised as the finest in Africa owing to the unique apprenticeship and training system that has been in operation for over 30 years. It has a number of superb small camps and lodges from which you can explore the area by open vehicle, walking, boating and canoeing. From Victoria Falls you can enjoy adventure activities such as rafting, microlighting, elephant back rides and tiger fishing.
From here you can easily visit Botswana and South Africa as well as Mauritius or Mozambique for a beach holiday.
Please consult your medical doctor for information about vaccinations and protection from malaria.

Elephant Herds of Hwange
Hwange National Park, once home to San Bushmen, is now home for some of Africa's largest herds of elephant. You can watch the breeding herds as they play together, walk together, refresh at the waterhole and see the huge bulls as they stand on their hind legs and pull down branches and leaves to munch on.
Mana Pools National Park
Mana Pools National Park attracts hundreds of animals and is one of the very best game-viewing destinations in Africa. The park, bursting with wildlife, sits on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River, making it great for not only game-viewing but water activities too. Combine game drives and bush walks with relaxing boat cruises, canoeing safaris and fishing trips for the perfect safari holiday.
Adventures at Victoria Falls
Also known as Mosioa-Tunya (the smoke that thunders), Victoria Falls is an immense water fall that sends nearly 2,000 cubic meters of water plummeting over 5,000 feet every second, creating an almighty roar, a bright white cloud of spray, strong vibrations through your feet and, of course, an unforgettable sight. There are endless unique activities at the falls, from white water rafting, bungee jumping and taking microlight flights that soar above the spray to taking laidback sundowner cruises in the calm areas of the river and elephant rides.
Lake Kariba and the Matusadona National Park
On the shores of Lake Kariba you'll find the Matusadona National Park, a huge reserve combing rugged mountain scenery with unspoilt wilderness. It's also one the last remaining homes of the endangered black rhino. Lion, elephant, antelope and buffalo roam too, whilst in the lake are shiny pods of swimming hippo and groups of lazy but fierce crocodiles. With the Matusadona Mountains as a backdrop, the lake is the perfect place to enjoy the Zimbabwean sunset.

Centre for Mutual and Employee-owned Business (MEOB)
The ownership of businesses is a crucial element in determining how they are governed, whose interests they prioritise and how they are held to account. While conventional, shareholder-owned businesses are primarily accountable to external investors, for whom they are expected to maximise financial returns, mutual and employee-owned businesses are organised along different principles, which factor in a broader array of interests and values.
Mutuals (such as building societies in the financial sector or Foundation Trust Hospitals in the public sector) are run on behalf of their members, who use and depend on them; they do not sell shares. Employee-owned businesses are either organised as mutuals, accountable to their employees (such as the John Lewis Partnership in the UK) or employees hold a controlling share.
This is an under-appreciated and under-researched part of the economy. The Centre for Mutual and Employee-owned Business exists to develop and compile research on these alternative corporate forms, and to act as an academic hub for economists, sociologists, political scientists, lawyers and business and management scholars, with an interest in broadening debates about ownership and corporate governance.
The assumption that businesses ought necessarily be governed for the maximisation of financial returns to external shareholders has come under increasing strain in recent years, and there is growing public and policy interest in challenging the orthodox model of the corporation. Via research, events, advocacy and the development of a new educational curriculum in mutual business, the Centre will seek to become a leading source of expertise on ownership and corporate governance, and to develop academic and public understanding of mutual and employee-owned models.
A ten week online course covering the Employee Owned Company, how the employee buyout phenomenon works and the role it can play in restructuring capitalism is offered this autumn from Wednesday 2 October to Friday 13 December 2013. For full details please see the course website.
For further details on the centre, download our leaflet , email us or follow us on twitter.

New Zenger Folkman Data Reveals Bad Bosses Can Change Their Spots
SALT LAKE CITY, March 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- When it comes to behavior, our society holds a pessimistic view of person's ability to truly change. Senior leaders, who have been doing their work a certain way for decades, are often considered hopeless when it comes to development. This belief is described in the often-quoted phrases: "A leopard can't change his spots," and "You can't teach an old dog new tricks." However, Zenger Folkman's 360 degree analysis on some of the worst leaders revealed that even fatal flaws in senior leaders can be improved.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120905/LA67993LOGO)
The study was with 545 relatively senior executives who participated in recent leadership development programs in three different organizations — a large bank, a large high-tech communications company, and an Ivy League university. They were judged on how skilled they were in the 16 attributes Zenger Folkman has found to be most essential to leadership effectiveness. Within that group, 96 leaders were only at the 10 th percentile (or below) of effectiveness in one or more of these skills.
While Zenger Folkman typically encourages leaders to work on strengths rather than become preoccupied with fixing small weaknesses, fatal flaws must be addressed. A score this low can potentially ruin a career and certainly stop one's progress.
In a recent Harvard Business Review blog, Jack Zenger said, "Those who believe that leopards, particularly senior management leopards, can't change their spots may be surprised to find that 71 of those 96 leaders were able to improve those flaws enough show a statistically significant improvement in their overall leadership effectiveness on their subsequent 360 evaluations. That is, roughly 75 percent of these leaders were able to change their behavior enough that their colleagues, subordinates, direct reports, and bosses (who had judged them so harshly before) could readily see improvement." In a short amount of time—18 months to two years—this group of leaders improved by 33 percentile points, which moved them from the bottom to average. Joe Folkman, president of Zenger Folkman, said, "These leaders received some shocking news from this initial 360 degree analysis. Rather than adopt the attitude of 'this is who I am and I can't change,' they embraced and followed through on a development plan that enabled them to go from poor to good leaders." If you would like to learn more about how these leaders where are able to change, you can attend Zenger Folkman's upcoming webinar, Good News! Poor Leaders Can Change Their Spots, by signing up here.

Star Wars: The Old Republic is getting its first game update tomorrow, but the second release in March is going to be "much bigger in scope".
That's according to game director James Ohlen, who told CVG in a recent Old Republic interview that Game Update 2 will include three major pieces of content, as well as "full" Legacy game content.
Ohlen said: "Game Update 2 is much bigger in scope. It's further out from launch, so we can have much more of the team focussed on it. There's Part 2 of Rise of the Rakghouls, a brand new planet called Denova which has an 8-16 man Operation and a new Warzone.
"We might also be able to get some new space game missions into it. In addition to that we have single player content that you'll be able to go through as well..."
Update 1 releases tomorrow and the highlights include level 50 bracketing for PvP WarZones, the addition of anti-aliasing and changes to Open World PvP on Ilum.
Regarding the "full" Legacy game update, Ohlen explained: "It's a system that really benefits players who like to play alts - instead of having characters who have no relation to each other you can create a family, and when you're playing any member of that family you earn experience points for your Legacy tree.
"Those then unlock abilities and perks that help improve all your characters. I think that's going to be popular. Characters can be related to your main character in all kinds of ways - siblings, father, son, friend, you could be married to them..."
He also touched on Guild Banks, as well as the addition of PvP rankings for the competitive-minded players.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Diamond!
Facts about Diamond
- Breed: Australian Kelpie/Australian Cattle Dog Mix
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Diamond's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Diamond and her 8 siblings were found in a box on the side of the road when they were two weeks old. We bottle fed them, and went through ups and downs with them having internal parasites.
She is now 7 months old, spayed, microchipped, and UTD on shots.
Her adoption fee is $50.
For more information or to meet her, please contact: email@example.com
Other Pets at Romeo's Legacy Dog Rescue CA
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Diamond, a Bakersfield Australian Kelpie/Australian Cattle Dog puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Australian Kelpie/Australian Cattle Dog for sale in Bakersfield, or seeking a Australian Kelpie/Australian Cattle Dog puppy from a breeder in Bakersfield.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Bakersfield already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Bakersfield breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Australian Kelpie/Australian Cattle Dog breeders who help with Australian Kelpie/Australian Cattle Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Bakersfield paves the way for another one to be saved.

Questions about room requests at YC
Our trip is a little over six weeks out. It's our first deluxe stay and we're booked for Lagoon or Pool View at YC. It seems like there's not as much discussion here about YC room requests.
How do I make the request? Phone? Fax? What number to use? How soon should I do it? And what to request? I understand we don't need to request full balcony. I considered requesting daybed but I'n not sure it would be comfy enough for either of our adult kids to use so I think I'll take the luck of the draw on that one. I know I don't want to be on the first floor. But what kind of view options are there? What does Lagoon mean? Is that the lake? So confused Thanks for any suggestions! We're really excited to stay deluxe |

I was wondering if anyone has any advice for our Aug 25 -Sept 1st. Yatch Club CL vacation. How do you keep from melting in the heat? Please, any advice at all is welcome.
Thanks |

First, Robyn, I'm so sorry. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
My husband likes to take a break in the afternoon, so I've been taking our three boys to SAB on my own for years. I can directly compare those experiences to experiences at other resort pools. For example, during our split stay in October, we spent time at both the CR pool and SAB. At CR I could pretty much stay in one spot and the boys had a ton of fun. But it can't compare to the fun and atmosphere at SAB - just can't. So for us, it's worth a little getting up and walking around. Our boys love slides and they think the jib slide at SAB is the best at Disney. But even so, it's a long climb up those stairs and they usually go down the slide 3-4 times and they are done with the slide. So even when I had to monitor them on the slide, it's not an all-day deal. The slide they still DO use repeatedly is the little slide at the base of the pirate ship. That one works for everyone because you can catch kids at the end. And before our 6-year-old became a strong swimmer, our 12- and 13-year-olds loved hanging out with him the zero depth entry shallow area. If your kids are anything like ours (and they might be because they are far closer in age) they might want to stick together more than you might think. Managing a couple runs down the slide is worth the fun, in my opinion! Those misting fans are great! And the psychological benefits of the official Disney misting fan with Mickey on it - even better! Also, we planned our park days to beat the heat. Always at rope drop, lunch ADR so that we can sit down in a cool spot, and then bail from the park after lunch. We spend a few afternoon hours in the pool and head back to the parks (usually Epcot) for dinner. We also develop touring strategies to reduce walking and, therefore, reduce time out in the heat. We love to walk, but in the summer, it's usually too hot to stroll around. Definitely save World Showcase for evening hours! And finally, choose clothes wisely! I only pack light colored shirts for the boys and I wear sundresses and flip flops in the park. It's been quite warm in July and August, but I've never been really uncomfortable.

: new posters! I'll actually give you individual welcomes in a bit, but wanted to give my feedback to your questions:
Personally, the view of the room is not important to me because my family does not spend a lot of time in the room when we are at Disney. We are at the parks or the pool. But full balcony, no matter what the view is important to me. It would drive me crazy to be in a WV room, but only have a standing balcony. Quote:
One thing I wanted to point out is that the little kiddie slide and pool area (not the sand one) is right under the stairs to the big slide. So if you and your little ones spent some time in there, you would be in the area while your 7 year old used the slide. Is there someone who can be waiting in the pool where the slide dumps out? But with the large difference in ages, and I assume swimming ability, I think your 7 year old would want to be in a different area of the pool than his siblings. There are some detailed maps and pictures of the various areas of Stormalong Bay in the second and third post of this thread. Quote:
Wow!!! Love the picture!!! That is fantastic. So was the pullout couch different from the daybeds? Any chance you have a picture??? Quote:
Yes, Lagoon View/Water View means looking out onto Crescent Lake or one of the pools. I'm not too familiar with the LV rooms- experts- can you request "view of Crescent Lake" or "quiet pool view" or "view of Stormalong Bay". You may want to make a request based on location- close to lobby or away from elevators or upper floor. Depends on what is important to you. You may be better off with a rollaway cot than a daybed- I have heard many reports that they are actually pretty comfortable, but some of the older daybeds tend to be on the smaller size. Quote:
That way you will avoid the heat, rain and crowds which may appear later in the day. Find an airconditioned place for an early lunch (many of the counterservice places- Columbia Harbor House, Sunshine Seasons are two) are very comfortable for lunch break. Head back to the resort for a swim or break and then once refreshed, you will be ready to visit another park. Drink lots If you split up from your family for a time, plan to meet back up INSIDE an airconditioned gift shop. I'm sure you will be able to find one or two around! .

Quick Question!
Just wondering if it's neccessary to make a request to be "close to lobby" if in a YC SV CL room. Basically, I know we'll be on 5th floor, but I'd like to be close to the lounge and elevators. I'm not really clear on how the rooms are situated on the 5th floor, so is that a valid request? "Close to lounge and elevators?"
And, if you are close to the lounge, is there alot of noticeable noise? Thanks guys!!! |

If it was me I'd go for the garden view room. It is only a few dollars more and you might not want to risk getting exactly what you booked, a standard view. We had a standard view once that was over the restaurant roof and looking at the parking lot. I really didn't like looking over the top of a huge flat roof. Although the room did have a balcony and the rooftop was clean.

So I saw this info by following a link posted on another thread on the resort forum.
I'm not really sure of the source, but the info on the Stormalong Bay slide refurb is what I have seen elsewhere. The info on the kiddie slide is new to me. Disneys Yacht & Beach Club Resorts Now June 28, 2013: Rooftop HVAC hot water piping replacement will occur. Jan. 7 11, 2013: Yacht Club Lobby rug replacement will occur. Jan. 16 25, 2013: Stormalong Bay feature pool slide will be closed for refurbishment. Stormalong Bay Pool will be open during this time. Guests can use the slide at Luna Park Pool at the BoardWalk Resort. Feb. 1 12, 2013: Stormalong Bay kiddie pool slide will be closed for refurbishment. ************************************************** ******** Interesting about the hot water piping. I wonder if that has anything to do with the complaints about water not getting very hot, or maybe is something entirely different. I believe someone mentioned a few days ago that they had read about work on the hot water pipes, so there you go! .

You didn't say how old your kids are but if they are younger, definitely do the "Get to the parks right before rope drop" plan. If they are teens and can go to the parks by themselves the "going out in the late afternoon/dinner time and staying late in the parks" is an attractive alternative. The later it gets the more the parks clear out so it's something to keep in mind. The best thing of all for the evening touring plan is to go to a late night hours park after the fireworks. There is a mass exodus of people leaving the parks just as you are getting started and the lines for rides are short again. The BC/YC is the perfect resort for hot summer touring. It's close to two parks, the pool is to die for and it's got lots of attractive dining options that are close and convenient as well. That mid day break in the pool at Storm Along bay sounds heavenly right now! Now have you thought about Club level at all? Staying at club level and taking advantage of all of the offerings sounds ideal. You will be back at the resort for that mid day break so it will be easy to take advantage of the food and beverages. If you want, try to run the numbers for a Dining plan versus "Club level with a few table/counter service restaurants" numbers for your family. Check back in the last 20 pages of this thread to check out my discovery about club level and the way we got a lot more convenience for the same or less money. Oh Heck! here's a link: http://http://www.disboards.com/show...3#post46969963 Start here and read forward so see what myself and others have to teach you about staying club level. I hope that helps and don't worry! Yes it's going to be HOT. Yes you can do the parks and have a good time. You just have to think outside the box and get into "the heat of the summer touring plan." Good luck and welcome to the thread! ~NM |

On my way to YC and I know next to nothing about it.
My mom and I are going to WDW for the Princess half-marathon at the end of Feb. We were booked at GF but with all the construction going on there we decided to switch to YC. I have stayed at BCV a couple of times but never YC so I'm so excited!! We booked standard view because that is all the was left. Is there anything to request if we want to be closer to SAB? Is there more than one elevator?

FHSU musical delivers energetic, solid performance
Mixing elements of who-dun-it with a backstage musical production, "Curtains," performed by the Fort Hays State University Department of Music and Theatre the first weekend in October, delighted audiences as it opened the 2012-13 theater season.
Mixing elements of who-dun-it with a backstage musical production, "Curtains," performed by the Fort Hays State University Department of Music and Theatre the first weekend in October, delighted audiences as it opened the 2012-13 theater season.
Lt. Frank Cioffi, (L.J. Kemper), led the cast as a lone detective working to solve the murder of a talentless buxom leading lady on the set of a Broadway-bound musical in 1959. Kemper's impish facial expressions and lighter-than-air dancing skills bound the action together as the cast sang and danced its way through murder and mayhem.
Stage director Tomme Williams and music director Terry Crull led the cast of 24 through a solid performance of the play based on the book by Rupert Holmes, lyrics by Fred Ebb and music by John Kander.
This play-within-a-play put the energetic cast through its paces, as they moved from scene to scene with impeccable timing, backdrops floating into position. The smoke-filled backstage seemed a fitting set for the story, giving audience members a front row seat to a backstage drama.
Kemper's love interest Niki Harris (Hayley Funk) was suitably sweet, a vision of all things nice while the director of the play-within-the-play, Christopher Belling (Ryan Ross) was believably flamboyant, frantic and fun.
Colin Miller, who portrayed actor Bobby Pepper, showed a stage ease that connected his character almost effortlessly to the audience. Michael Ritzel as songwriter Aaron Fox, brought a brooding charm to the lush duets he shared with sparkling soprano Alexandra Hutchinson, his wife and lyricist/actress Georgia Hendricks.
Obnoxious but lovable, Rebecca Urban lent an exuberance to the part of Bambi Bernet, aspiring-dancer-singer-actress, humiliated onstage by her caustic and sometimes crude mother, Carmen Bernstein (Vanessa North).
The second act opened to a tense rendition of "He Did It," after another actor was found dead. The cast did a stellar job of spitting out the tune's percussive lyrics, as they snuck about in a strangely spooky makeshift dormitory.
Choreography by Colin Miller moved smoothly throughout the production and was particularly fun to watch during "Kansasland," a hootnanny square dance number, brightly splashed with costumes designed by Williams.
Next up for the FHSU Department of Music and Theatre will be the production "Almost, Maine," set for Nov. 15 to 18.

Regretting raising the debt-ceiling
By Donald Boudreaux
The opinions expressed are his own.
Reuters invited leading economists and writers to reply to Larry Summers' op-ed on his reaction to the debt ceiling deal. We will be publishing the responses here. Below is Donald Boudreaux's reply. Here are responses from Laura Tyson, James Hamilton, Robert Frank, Russ Roberts, Benn Steil and James Pethokoukis as well.
Larry Summers' cynicism about the new debt deal is justified. What, indeed, is the baseline from which $1.5 trillion is to be subtracted?
That there's no clear answer to this question — and that there's no serious effort to avoid the coming explosion of entitlement spending — drives home the truth that this deal really is nothing more than, as The Economist describes it, "a mishmash of expedient stop gaps and promises."
My objections to the entire debt-ceiling brouhaha, however, run more deeply than those of Prof. Summers.
Unlike him, I dispute the claim that failure to raise the debt-ceiling would have been a calamity. Sure, failure to raise the debt-ceiling would have prevented Uncle Sam from doling out as much money as he promised to dole out to countless numbers of people counting on moola from Washington. But even without a higher debt ceiling, the government's cash flow would have been more than adequate to pay all of its genuine creditors in full. No actual default would have been necessary.
What would really have been necessary is more accurately described as belt-tightening.
That each of the many programs that stood to be squeezed has a vocal support group is insufficient reason to avoid squeezing those programs. This fact is no less true for sacred cows such as Social Security, Medicare, and foreign wars than it is for federally subsidized bridges-to-nowhere and other such boondoggles.
Elected officials perpetually and proudly proclaim their willingness to "make tough choices." Those proclamations are meaningless, however — as has been true from 1917 (the year the first debt-ceiling was adopted) through to this very day — if Uncle Sam can borrow as much money as he wishes without constraint.
If the debt-ceiling were a real constraint, rather than a mere public-relations gimmick, members of Congress and the President would then be truly obliged to make the tough choices that they always claim they make but in fact never make.
I regret the raising of the debt-ceiling because I regret relieving Congress and the President of a serious obligation to actually make tough choices on how they spend what is, let us never forget, other people's money.

This is right on. A rare honest comment and a vewry necessary antidote to all the neo-Keynesean mythology coming from the likes of Paul Krugmann. Thanks Professor Boudreaux.
That is the sober truth of the matter. We are RELIEVED (can you believe it!) that we have given ourselves permission to spend MORE of what we do not have.

Does the author genuinely believe that the failure to raise the debt limit wouldn't have resulted in a violation of contractual payment terms to any creditor?
Whatever one may think of Federal spending priorities, the U.S. gov't could not have lived up to its contractual obligations without an increase in the debt limit.
Granted, the Mercatus Institute is correct that the gov't has signifcant assets. Could they be sold in time to prevent late payments? Quite doubtful.
Ergo the US credit rating would very likely fall, and that means interest rates would rise in myriad arenas.
No entity – no individual, no business, and no nation – can violate its contractual obligations merely on the grounds that it desires to cut spending, without consequences.
Having read Larry Summers depressing (to me) account of the debt ceiling decision, I was elated to read Dr. Boudreaux's opinion, reflecting my own sense of things. No economist, I do own a business and run a household, however, which should qualify me for a reasonable opinion. Indeed, any self-sufficient person qualifies as we all live by the laws of economics or we wouldn't be self-sufficient. Among these are, spend no more than you make, and cut spending when you make less, otherwise you jeopardize yourself and loved ones. What blindness and fantasy-thinking overcome politicians and their followers is beyond my comprehension. I do believe they know nothing about how wealth is created and the human nature that drives that creation. If they did, they could not possibly hold to their world view.
The US Treasury has easily been borrowing, and then spending, money amounting to near 12% of GDP recently. Other sectors of the economy, business household or financial have been cutting back their borrowing out of preference, necessity or inability to find lenders willing to lend to them. That isn't about to change soon so if the government can't borrow more then 12% of GDP disappears. This is not belt tightening, it is a depression.
The expansion of credit is an existential necessity for the system to remain intact. Not that the system isn't dysfunctional, that is another argument. Well we have already put off and end to the breakneck borrowing by the government but if by some odd chance we did then we would go into depression. You can't cut 12% of total cash flow from the economy and not have a depression
[...] Here's Boudreaux on holding the line on the debt ceiling (emphasis Matt's): Unlike him, I dispute the claim that failure to raise the debt-ceiling would have been a calamity. Sure, failure to raise the debt-ceiling would have prevented Uncle Sam from doling out as much money as he promised to dole out to countless numbers of people counting on moola from Washington. But even without a higher debt ceiling, the government's cash flow would have been more than adequate to pay all of its genuine creditors in full. No actual default would have been necessary. [...]
why am i supposed to take seriously the ramblings of someone who talks about "moola?"
look, the congress already approved the spending and taxing policies in place: that's the constitutional way.
deciding arbitrarily that some of those approvals should be ignored is the advice of an authoritarian who hates democratic governance, not a useful contribution to debate.
the debt ceiling is an utterly stupid device and should be done away with, not used as a cudgel to bypass constitutional norms.

When one considers how many ways the wealth of the nation is distributed and redistributed, from subsidies to the top, from the top, to the bottom, from the bottom, and very likely sideways, it should be a matter of real confusion and no doubt endless debate, what "other people's money" really means.
No one really has anything but other people's money, especially now. The process is supposed to work best when it is a matter of exchange. Somehow the reservoirs must be filled, or the fountains run dry and the gardens and the gardeners die.

New Chief Justice to meet Cebu's judges
-A A +AWednesday, September 19, 2012
SUPREME Court Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno makes her first visit in Cebu City today to meet local trial court judges, barely a month after her appointment on Aug. 24.
Sereno will be at the Cebu International Convention Center at 9 a.m. for a dialogue with the local judges.
In an interview, Judge Ester Veloso said trial court judges in Cebu City welcome Sereno.
"It is an honor for all women judges like me that at last a woman has been appointed as Chief Justice," Veloso, presiding judge of the Regional Trial Court Branch 6, told reporters.
Sereno's appointment is historic, said Veloso, who is also the regional director of the Philippines Women Judges Association.
"We pin our hopes on the Chief Justice that she will continue to protect the interest of the judiciary," Veloso, a Family Court judge, said.
Veloso said the judges in Cebu City assured Sereno of their support and cooperation.
Judge James Stewart Himalaloan said the dialogue with local judges will be a sort of a team-building and a getting-to-know session with the members of the judiciary in Cebu City.
Himalaloan said he hopes Sereno will succeed in her effort to introduce reforms in the judiciary in the next 18 years.
Sereno is the 24th chief justice and the first woman to be appointed to the highest position in the judiciary. She took her oath of office before President Benigno Aquino III on Aug. 25.
Sereno replaced Renato Corona, who was booted out of office for incorrectly declaring his peso and dollar deposits in his annual statement of assets and liabilities.
Among those who lauded the appointment of Sereno was Associate Justice Gabriel Ingles of the Court of Appeals Cebu Station.
"She is very qualified and she deserves the position," Ingles had told Sun. Star Cebu.
He said it's also important for Sereno to get the cooperation of other justices.
Ingles said Sereno must strive to promote an image of the judiciary as independent, competent and honest.
Michael Yu, former Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) Cebu City chapter president, said Sereno's appointment "reflects the seriousness of the PNoy administration to reform the SC."
"We will see better days in the judiciary soon. It is not novel to appoint a non-senior associate despite the credentials," Yu said.
Sereno and Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio, who topped the shortlist of eight nominees, used to belong in the minority in the High Court.
They both voted to uphold the Truth Commission, a body created by Aquino to investigate the alleged wrongdoings of former President and now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
The High Court declared as unconstitutional Executive Order (EO) 1, which formed the Commission.
Voting 10-5, the Supreme Court (SC) ruled that the commission "violates the equal protection clause of the Constitution as it singles out investigation of graft and corrupt practices in the previous administration."
Sereno also dissented in the grant of the temporary restraining order against the Department of Justice to allow Arroyo to travel abroad.
In her dissenting opinion, Sereno said Arroyo gave "inconsistent, and probably, untruthful statements" before the High Court, particularly about the real status of her health, which her camp used to seek provisional remedy to travel abroad.
At that time, Sereno, one of five associate justices who voted against the issuance of the TRO, wanted a hearing before granting the provisional relief.
Sereno also opposed the move of the House of Representatives to stop the impeachment proceedings of former Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez.

Vaccine issue resurfaces in MontpelierVermont Press Bureau | February 08,2013One of the surprise controversies of 2012 arrived at the Legislature in the form of a bill that sought to rescind the philosophical exemption invoked by hundreds of parents across Vermont to sidestep school vaccination requirements.
A grassroots coalition of well-organized citizens managed to quash the legislation, convincing lawmakers to adopt a watered-down version that made it only slightly more difficult to invoke the exemption.
One the top supporters of the 2012 bill, however, is renewing the push this year to address what he says are alarmingly low vaccination rates in pockets of the state.
Rep. George Till, a Jericho Democrat and the lone medical doctor in the Legislature, wants to remove both the philosophical and religious exemptions for the vaccination that prevents pertussis a.k.a. whooping cough. And at public schools where the vaccination rate drops below 90 percent, Till has a separate bill that would revoke the religious and philosophical exemptions for any vaccination.
Till says the pertussis problem is particularly acute, growing from 18 confirmed cases in 2010 to 645 in 2012.
And in 2012 that included four cases in infants, Till says. And while we got lucky and none of them died, the mortality rates for infants is 50 percent, so we really could have had a tragedy.
The second bill would take a school-by-school approach to the vaccination issue, eliminating the religious and philosophical exemptions only at public schools that fall below the 90 percent threshold. When rates for any single vaccination fell below that mark, Till says, his bill would require all current and prospective students to have the vaccine administered. Parents that didnt comply wouldnt be allowed to send their children to the school. Till says the bill preserves the medical exemption.
Rep. Mike Fisher, chairman of the House Committee on Health Care (on which Till also sits), doesnt sound keen on revisiting the vaccine issue.
He says the House dedicated a lot of time to the issue last year.
We addressed vaccinations last year, and I think we should give that law time to play out before coming back to it, Fisher says. I dont think were interested in taking it up at this time.

Backed by an armory of natural shampoos & soaps, the groomers at Shampooches Salon & Spaw untangle and trim coats, leaving pups to strut out in a well-groomed parade with tongues lolling happily. Flea and tick treatments keep pests at bay, and trimming around the ears leaves pooches ready to listen for the sounds of other dogs barking or coaches discovering loopholes that allow canines in the league.
To say that Far Fetched Tales' head trainer, Pamela, has a way with animals would be a major understatement. Her 30 years of experience include time spent working on a farm and showing and training horses, and her own prized corgis, Harley and Jo Dee have won seven national titles combined. Throughout her career, Pamela has helped well-meaning dogs overcome a variety of behavioral issues, from jumping and chewing to separation anxiety and poker addictions, using techniques that focus on positive reinforcement. Beyond training neighborhood pooches to sit and stay, Pamela also offers agility training for pets and owners who are interested in qualifying for competitions, as well as pet sitting and training for service and therapy dogs.
While away on vacation, pet owners imagine their four-legged charges wagging their tails contentedly when they are under the care of Paws and Claws Pet Services. The owner-operator draws from 30 years of animal experience when tailoring pet-sitting services to clients' needs. Besides fulfilling basic pet needs such as food, water, exercise, and allowing them time to watch Face the Nation, sitters bathe pets, escort them to the vet or groomer, and clean up waste in the yard or litter box. They also turn lights on and off and collect mail to give the impression that someone is home. In line with their commitment to animal welfare, the staff donates 5% of the company's income to the Richmond Animal League for homeless dogs and cats.
After she studied the art of pet styling with International Professional Groomers, Inc., Kathi Johnson spent the next 20 years training, grooming, and showing canine champions on the national circuit. After amassing more ribbons than she could fit in one doghouse, she opened Blue Ribbon Pet Styling. There, Kathi continues to make pooches prim and proper, specializing in hairdos for Marquis Standard Poodles.
Dogs are all sizes are welcome at The Barking Lot, where the trained staff tidies up pets with bathing, grooming, and health treatments. Grooming treatments can include anything from bathing and blow drying to flea baths, teeth brushing, and ear cleaning, allowing owners to ensure their pet is both presentable and happy. Staff are also trained in breed-appropriate hair styling, conforming each pet's hair to the desired cut or just a Mohawk if he's starting a garage band with your other pets.

This is serious...
We all now, infiltration will stick around for a while. But it can't live forever. I mean in the future, there will be better and more powerful graphic engines. Sure we'll play infiltration, but the graphics could be so much better. Ok, so graphics isn't the main issue, but when that time comes, we will have houndres of games, thrown in our faces. And at some point. face it. we'll only have a distant memory, of the best mod(game*) ever. So I would like to hear from sentrystudios, if they will EVER, in 5 years or so, convert infiltration to other engines, so that we can be entertained, astounded (if that's the word) and amazed, by the game's glory again
* I would rather say game, 'cause it pretty much is. I would just like to point out that this is a distant future, I'm talking about. |

Infiltration will most likely be ported to Unreal Warfare when it is released. Considering it's the exact same engine, only with numerous enhancements, there is no reason not to.
After that it is impossible to tell. The Infiltration team may choose to go commercial with Infiltration, or begin working on a completely new game.  ________________________ Jon Merriman (a.k.a. Disturbed) Infiltration Beta Tester |

yo DOOM ENGINE
do you think that ID software would make a doom using the same engine
NO the new doom engine practicly runs off of the geforce3 (yes i mean 3) and you should really check it out, i needed a apron to absorb my drooling This is now only 'when' is later |
2nd Mar 2001, 12:22 AM | #13 |
As an amature mod making guy, i've been leaning toward the some of the newer large area games for my war sim fantasies. Lately i've been following Operation Flashpoint, Tribes 2, and HALO. I haven't read much from the new DOOM engine, but if it follows the same traits of previous ID products it will be extreemly well suited to very customisable, both for mod groups, end level users, and hackers. Hopefully they'll smart'n up and include some other game types.
Right now my "dream" engine would be able to support both large out door areas & in door realms with decent frame rates, realistic weather (rain & snow) vehicle support, and a good sound support... As far as moding is concerned i'd like some hybrid between RB6 & half-life/quake for simplicity and basic graphic tweeking. This is of course just me. I'd probobly considere myself a Hobbiest mod'er who tends to focus on weapon packs rather than Total Conversions. boom |

That was not Unreal 2, but only a technology-demo of the current not(!) optimized state (or rather it was in december 2000 if I recall correctly) of the unreal-engine using a normal pc, not some Geforce 3 enhanced monster like the Doom-demo used. Which of course is going to look good because if you use something like that, it'd be very very bad if it didn't.
I'd wish they took advantage of what they have now before adding GeForce 3 specific stuff, because they aren't using the full potential of the current GeForce yet. Unreal Warfare is the ('to be decided') sequel to Unreal Tournament ... Unreal 2 is more than a year away and Infiltration 2.85 hasn't been released so no need to worry about the future now. - Hindsight is always 20/20 - |

i dont really think that you should even think about HALO since it probably wont even come out on PC, most likely X-box Where can i get a Unreal-2 dem.....TECHNOLOGY demo i WANNNAAAAAAAA and the reason that they are taking advantage of the stuff on the geforce 3 is because there is game that i am sure you have all heard of and it is called GIANTS-CITAZENS Kobuto or whatever and plus the geforce 3 is coming out this march the only thing that sucks about it is that it is availible on MAC first, but that may be good thing because macs have a better Operating Sytem and it is even goin to be shipped with OS 10 but, uhhhhhh, yea, please let me know where i can get a tech-demo This is now only 'when' is later |

i think you can get the tek demo from epics homepage. try www. epicgames.com
i've never really seen good outdoor enviroments done with the quake engine come to think of it. i think somebody should find away to use voxel rendering with the unreal engine. that would allow for some really cool outdoor maps. |

The tech-demo is here : http://www.fileplanet.com/index.asp?...790&file=51121 (size is +/- 43 Megabyte)
I thought they used the MacOs not because it is better (ANY OS is better than those made by Micro$oft), but because there is less hardware to worry about. The game is "Citizen Kabuto", you don't need a GeForce 3 for that game. A simple GeForce256 will do quite nicely. -- edit -- I just found the Doom3-demo here : http://www.fileplanet.com/index.asp?file=56348 - Hindsight is always 20/20 - |

Do any of you people have ANY idea what kind of undertaking it would be to "port" Infiltration to a different engine? We're talking complete RE-WRITE from the ground up. Infiltration will stay on the unreal engine, and move along with the various games (Unreal 2, Unreal Warfare, etc).
