Hugh Hefner Already Has New Girlfriend
Two weeks after the Playboy founder was dumped by Miss December 2009, Crystal Harris, days before their wedding, he's now dating Miss November 2010.
Hugh Hefner is already on the rebound.
The Playboy founder and former E! Entertainment Television reality star, 85, said Monday that he's dating Miss November 2010. The news comes only two weeks after he was dumped by Crystal Harris, Miss December 2009, just days before they were set to be married.
Hugh Hefner's Ex Crystal Harris Spoofs Their Age Difference
Shera Bechard, a 27-year-old French-Canadian model and aspiring actress,also will be Miss November 2011, Hefner tweeted Monday.
"Shera is both our November 2011 Playmate & my new girlfriend," he tweeted.
Harris, 25, graces the current cover of Playboy. The cover was set before she broke off the engagement, so Hefner decided to add "Runaway Bride" stickers to newsstand copies at the last minute.

Of her decision to call off the wedding, Harris said in an interview on KIIS-FM's On Air With Ryan Seacrest that she "called it off because I didn't think it was the right thing for me to do. It was mutual between Hef and I. There was no fight; we sat down, and we talked about it."
For his part, Hefner recently said that "staying single is probably for the best."

Jane WanJanuary 1998 |
Jane Wan, 24, is a student in Singapore. She can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com
This article is dedicated to a special woman who has changed my life and helped me to discover my sexual orientation. Although I know my true sexual identity now, she is no longer with me to share the love I have for her. While writing it, I cannot help but feel that she is around, holding the pen with me and writing the thoughts that we share together. I still cry over the loss till today. This is written especially for her to tell her that the Love I have for her, shines on her always, like the bright star in the sky.
Getting into a relationship with her is certainly an experience I will never forget in this lifetime of mine. Moving into her world allowed me to explore the various types of feelings and more importantly to discover my true sexual identity.
Her world is characterized by a great amount of sensitivity, inquisitive nature and suspicion. Its peripherals are also encompassed by a lack of security, confidence, fear and other positive feelings that are so essential in making an individual complete.
Although the relationship with her was not long, it allowed me to view her world, to share her world and finally to be in her world.
She is 21 years of age. She is not in any sense an epitome of drop-dead beauty. But what is so attractive about her is that she is real -- very real whether on phone or in person. This unique personality trait attracts me to her quickly like a magnet -- I must say I would fall in love with her if I have full knowledge of my own sexual orientation then.
Long outings with her seem good -- it is a perfect picture when her character unfolds itself. Assimilating into her world seems a little difficult at first for me as I became nervous and shy. But she made it so simple for me that in no time, I am attuned with her and feeling totally at ease.
She is extremely affectionate -- she held my hand throughout our dates, she hugged me ( possibly to death). Under such situation, I can feel that I am loved again but this time, it is a woman loving me. Till today, I like that feeling very much.
I am not embarrassed by the fact that she is showering me with lots of bear hugs and such. In fact I feel very very flattered and with it came mixed feelings inside my head. Despite this, I like every loving feeling she gives me and I crave for it to last forever; possibly to limitless boundaries.
She is very feminine in her own special way despite her tomboyish outlook. I must say she carries her own unique brand of femininity -- the real femininity that I define as the essence of being a woman. She is, in some sense, a `carbon-copy' of me when I was her age. Strong-headed, short hair, tanned skin, sporty outlook, language fluency...she got them all! But above all, she's got a good head on her shoulders and I adore smart women!!! To me, she is perfect.
Caring nature and sensitivity are the foremost things I see in her personality. She knew that I was going through a hard week and she never hesitated to put her arms around me and hugged me for a long time even though many pairs of eyes were staring at us then. But then, it did not disturb me because I was drowned in my own sea of problems and she, engrossed in sending me a hug that I needed so badly....And well, I can love her for just this little kind act. I guess there will be times when even a smile from her could save my life...
Being with her makes you feel that you are well taken care of -- she holds your hand whenever you go, she follows you everywhere, she makes sure you take every little step on the road with care, she carries your business bag knowing that you are exhausted after a day out. She is everything.
But well, good things do come to an end. Like I mentioned earlier on, I don't mind being hugged or holding hands. But I started to feel awkward when she started to kiss me. Although I responded, I kept breaking eye contact from her when our lips met and that irritated her to a great extent. I was confronted for not assimilating into her world; for rejecting her as an individual; for caring so much about how people will think and above all, of being ashamed for kissing a woman. All her thoughts about me were untrue. I just needed time to figure out who I REALLY AM. At that point of time, I questioned myself: Am I really ashamed of her for kissing me because she is a woman? Or, am I just too shy to look at her when she is doing just that? Or ...am I still searching for my true sexual orientation then? The answer is as clear as crystal now. But it is too late for me to do anything.
The world that we built together finally broke apart when I confronted her for that matter. She got very shocked and scared after seeing my reaction (this is the first time she saw another side of me). I saw that in her eyes and the tremble in her voice. In a way, I regretted for being so obnoxious but at the same time I realized something: the supposedly `butched' is now being `butched' by a lesbian with a stronger personality... and ironically the latter came in the form of me. The tension created between us then reminded me of two heavyweight boxers fighting it out in the ring or the clash of the titans.
I actually did regret my action because it proved to be a fatal end for my relationship with her and it disallowed me to confirm my own sexual orientation on stronger grounds with stronger claims. In a way, I see that as a sense of great loss for me because I could have lost one true friend in my life too. I do not see myself as losing a great lover. Rather, I see myself losing someone I was about to know and love (possibly) for the rest of my life.
Her intuitive feelings are strong -- she is a great observer but she is on the other end of the spectrum when she is faced with difficult situations. That will always be a bad feeling for me because it reveals to me her inability to cope with pressures in life and the only solution in her head is to turn tails and run for a safe place to be in.
But otherwise, she is nice -- she praises you for almost everything ranging from you sense of dressing to the platinum frost color nail polish you've got on. She adores you like crazy. She loves you with intensity. Her easy and naïve nature reminds me of a child smiling after being given a candy. I love that cute nature in her -- easily pleased but definitely fallible without a doubt.
The break-up was very ugly -- she sent me email instead of telling me personally. She regards herself as a dream and fantasy for me and that seems to tell me that she is actually living in one herself. She slams down the phone when she is no longer interested. But I took all these in stride knowing and understanding that it is a natural reaction and that is partially my fault too. I do not bear hard feelings towards her and the way she treated me...I understand because all human beings will react in a similar manner and it is not just exclusive to lesbians. But well, my strong-headed personality did not deter me from being the winner in this relationship. I actually re-confirmed this `virtual gold medal' by sending her an email only to scare her further. But I guess even if I do not do so, both of us know just too well who the real winner is at the end of the day.
The perfect lover that she has in mind all along is now reduced to someone she is totally apprehensive and skeptical of. It is like a mirror being smashed into pieces and both of us just stood there frozen knowing that nothing could be done to get it back to its original form. It seems that I am now holding authority in her world and that scares her. Despite her age and her level of maturity, she has got this `child' inside her and that `child' is probably crying because it has misjudged me very badly. But someday, somehow, somewhere, this child will grow with maturity, with age and with more life experiences. I have actually assimilated into her world initially feeling nervous and ended up conquering it.
Although I am no longer in her world, I still crave to see her again. I miss her. I miss her everyday. Despite being the winner, I still regretted for what I have done till today. I felt sorry for treating her badly and actually sent her a virtual card to let her know my true feelings. At the same time, I told her that I am prepared to let her go for the one and only reason -- I Love Her. Although my feelings are not explicitly shown, I am confident that she knows how I feel given the smart capacity in her.
Surprisingly I received a card from her the very same day. Although the card was signed off as `Your Fantasy', it nevertheless is a picture of a heart and attached to it, is the message `Let Love Be Free'. It brightened me up a little for the day because it told me that she did think of me after-all and that she made an effort to get back to me. More importantly, that told me that her fear for me has lessened somehow -- that certainly meant a lot to me. Although we do not express openly our feelings for each other, we know each other inside out and round about -- above all, we know that we love each other dearly, very dearly....
I remembered counting the days or even the seconds of the day before her departure date. I wanted to call to inquire for more flight details but I was just too afraid to.
Although I was not at the airport to see her off, I know just too well what could possibly happen. I visualized myself giving her one last hug and refusing to let go; and raining tears uncontrollably like a mad woman as she walked into the departure gates. I could not bear those thoughts especially the thought that I am going to lose her forever. So, in order not to make life difficult for us both, I decided to think of her all day. I remembered the day when I sat alone thinking of every moment as THAT MOMENT.
If unhappy things do not occur between us and if she is not leaving the country because she is not happy with the life here, I am sure she is a part of my life and I am part of her world. My silly mistakes only serve to make her more determined and confident that her choice of leaving everything behind is no doubt the route to ultimate happiness for her.
I can feel that she is lonely. She seems to be someone who is always alone, doing things alone and most of all being alone. How do I know that? That is because sometimes I feel the same way too. This is certainly something we share very much in common.
It is not a matter of whether one is a lesbian, a straight or a bisexual. Rather, this is an issue concerning simple human needs. Human beings need a sense of touch somehow. We share the same philosophy that human touch is so important yet our closed ones fail to see how important and essential they can be. It can make an individual more confident for all you know.
She certainly craves for all these human touches especially hugs from me. That was her last request when I was with her. The words `Can I be hugged?' still rings in my ear clearly everyday. She need not say much, silence speaks a thousand words -- I know and can sense that she has fallen in love with me and I, to a certain extent, love her. All I ever needed is just time to get things right and to come to terms with my own sexual identity.
Although she has left my life, I still think of her everyday. Sometimes I wonder what she is doing, whether she is thinking or missing me too. In a way, I know in my heart that I have fallen in love with her after all -- I love the soft nature of her. At the same time, I sympathize with her for what she is lacking and her past bad experiences with other people. They were so bad to the extent that they left permanent marks in her life. I feel sad and sorry because I was one of those marks too. This, coupled with other factors, caused her to look for alternatives elsewhere hopefully with the right people. But at the same time, she fails to understand that although she may have left for somewhere else, she has left a part of her with me and taken a part of me with her. That hurts me a lot. I do not think she will ever realize that.
Whenever I walked past shopping malls we used to frequent and the pavements we used to take when she walked me home, my thoughts were always with her -- times when she held my hand and led me through the crowd. I still `stubbornly' choose to sit at the same table we sat together at the café even though it is empty at times when I am there. I still remember our favorite diamond ring in the showcase we saw on our outing -- it is now resting proudly on my finger with both of our names engraved on it. And I wear that with a lot of pride everyday. The ring serves as a reminder of us. Occasionally, I will remove it and look at our names on it. It makes me cry less whenever I look at it. It seems to be telling me that she is by my side all along and has never left me. Above all, it tells me that we have happy memories together and that they are here to stay in my mind always.
Though I feel sad and broken hearted whenever I think of her I still like being reminded of her and feeling her presence everyday in my life. Never did I know that one touch of love from her is a love that will last for a lifetime for me. She may be gone but I have yet to get used to the idea that she went away. I do not think that I ever will.....
She told me that her life is always full of drama but little did she know that she had left me stranded here alone and feeling unwanted with a traumatic experience. Unknown to her, she became a permanent mark in my life too. I was alone again after she left. There was a lot of bitterness in my voice. I feel like crying all the time. In fact, I rain tears everyday not caring whether I am alone or among people. I had a very bad and a hard fall again in personal relationships. I think this is the hardest fall simply because I know that true love is within my grasp and it comes from the one and only HER. I may or may not recover from it. Even if I do, she will be the ONLY good reason for it. But that does not really bother me (at least for now) because I know that I once have her in my heart and in my life. If she ever stopped to be ME for a moment during my 24th birthday and Christmas, then she would know how much she is loved and missed. I missed seeing her, talking to her and hearing her voice.
I consulted a lot of people after everything was over. Majority claim that I have yet to step foot into the lesbian world and their culture. Some dismissed it as a passing phase and that relationship in that world is not secured and definite. Some even go the extent of saying that I am a mere observer of my lover's behavior and that this experience is an eye opener for me and there is nothing more I can read into.
Although I appreciate the diverse opinions, they are all wrong! Although it could be a passing phase, it is well proven that some people remain gays throughout their lives. This is therefore dependent very much on the individual. It is true that relationships are insecure and indefinite but I strongly feel that it applies to all kinds of relationships and not just gay relationships. Lastly, I love her too much to treat her as a subject in any of my research works (I will surely kick myself if I ever do that!). So far, the only thing I will kick myself for is that the card that I bought for her during our outing failed to reach her. Instead, it is locked away safely in my bag because I am just too shy to let her have it and dread the reaction she is going to give me.
The bottom-line is that I know clearly that my sexual orientation has changed its course and she is a catalyst for this change. It is a turning point in my life. My feelings for her have grown and gone intense after she left. I am perfectly capable to feel what she has felt for me earlier on. I am now perfectly aware why her hugs are tighter and her kisses deeper and more passionate as we grow closer. They meant a world to me now...they always will.
If God ever gives us a chance to meet and be together again, I would surely want to make it right. I would want to share the ups and weather the downs in life with her. A friend once asked me what my birthday and Xmas wish was. Without hesitation, I whispered just her name. However it seems to me now, to be a wish that even Santa Claus will find it hard to fulfill this Xmas or even future Xmas to come.
I love her for a lot of things -- I love her brand of femininity. I love the balance she struggles for self-definition in today's world. I love the way she strikes a perfect harmony between muscularity and femininity with total ease. I love her particular brand of magic she generates right in front of my eyes. But above all, I am proud of her sexual orientation and grateful...very grateful to her for helping me out of my closet and discover mine. I will miss all these.
Although I cry everyday since our break-up, I am thankful that she came into my life and softened my hard heart with every movement and word she made. It will be an uphill task for me to forget her totally. It might not even happened because I am a very sentimental person when matters of heart are concerned. I realize now that I could love someone that much in such a short period of time. For now, I know in my heart that my love for her is immeasurable and she is simply irreplaceable. It is just that I failed to realize how much when I was with her. Whatever it is, no matter how she thinks of me now, she is always in my heart...ALWAYS.
Although our relationship is very short-lived, it seems that I know her all my life. I have never experienced this feeling with anyone before. I may not get to experience it again with someone else but at least I am comforted by the fact that she and I shared the same feeling together for once in our lives. I thank her for that and I always utter it quietly in my heart each brand new day. I will miss everything about her.
I may have lost her forever. I may see her again. It is still left unanswered till today. I do not see her absence as a sense of finality for us both. Rather I see it as a goal in my life...something that I want to work for and strive for if we ever meet again.
But I remember her telling me that Love is unconditional....and that Love is free. I Love Her. So I decided to set her free.
To Her - Yes...we are still the cutest couple around here. You are always a part of me. Je t'aime.

Wreath ceremony honors veterans
POSTED: Saturday, December 10, 2011 - 7:48pm
UPDATED: Monday, December 12, 2011 - 12:41pm
BATON ROUGE,LA (NBC33) — Diane Olinde is an Air Force veteran. She came out to the wreath laying ceremony at Port Hudson Cemetary to honor all those who died for their country, "This is the very first one. I didn't know about it. I just thought it was just so special and made a special effort to attend to be here," says Olinde.
Two of those people were her parents, Army veterans, and days like this mean a lot to her, "It's very special to have such a remembrance of my parents. It's very heartwarming," says Olinde.
"They fought for freedom. They fought for representing the state of Louisiana. They fought for our nation," says keynote speaker Russel Honore. Retired Lieutenant General Russel Honore was the keynote speaker at the event. He says the ultimate sacrifice that Olinde's parents and other veterans have made should not have been made in vain,"We need to give the things in our nation that those who gave their very last measure to fight and die for and to give their service to our nation."
And Olinde hopes that the sacrifices that veterans made won't be forgotten either, "I think as time goes on people aren't dwelling on this as much as they used to."

Dee Rida Tube. The Best Dee Rida Porn & Premier Dee Rida XXX Videos
All of you lovers of porn would have heard of Dee Rida. Even if you haven't, It does not matter that you haven't heard of her before, this is the time to let go of your ignorance and satisfy your lust through the sexy and hot videos of Dee Rida which are available by the plentiful in our website, with all varieties such as anal, creampie and the like covered. Dee Rida has done it all and more. You should discover it and enjoy, as our life is short, and most of the pleasures such as Dee Rida videos few and far between.
If you want to get a high and that too in a legal manner, then I would prescribe Dee Rida as the right cure for you! Dee Rida videos are designed for restless souls, and you would find in her moans a stimulant that you have been long searching for. This is what Dee Rida brings to the table. For the others, if you see her giving a blowjob, you will never find anything else that could rival hers. This is because Dee Rida has a taste for the extreme and she will ensure that your love for it is also sated.
In an informal poll conducted by a porn site, Dee Rida was voted as having one of the best figures for a porn star. I do not think that there are many of you who would wish to contest this decision because Dee Rida is known for her beautiful legs, perfectly round ass, and a surprisingly voluptuous bosom, which is a figure to kill for. You will not be able to think of a reason why Dee Rida should not be able to make a great model. This is the view that is shared by most of the others as well, who feel a modelling career beckons for Dee Rida.

A to Z search:
The term 'social enterprise' is used to describe a business model where profit is reinvested principally to fulfill social objectives or to grow the business, rather than maximise profit for shareholders and owners. Examples of social enterprises include some cooperatives and staff mutuals, social firms, community interest companies, some companies limited by guarantee or shares and community enterprises. West Sussex County Council (WSCC) is leading a network of organisations which provide countywide infrastructure support for social enterprises. We focus our efforts both on start ups and on existing social enterprises that wish to grow, as well as promoting and raising the profile of social enterprise and providing access to support, advice and information. If you'd like to learn more about social enterprise or the opportunities for support and information available, please visit the West Sussex Social Enterprise Network (WSSEN) website.
The Social Enterprise Fund (SEF) was established in 2011/12 as one of a number of initiatives to support the social enterprise sector in West Sussex and to promote social enterprise throughout the county.
This year the SEF is offering two streams of grant funding as a means of investing in the social enterprise sector for the longer term. These are:
Up to £50,000 is available to fund up to 10 organisations that want to undertake a piece of work to explore their idea for social enterprise. The maximum grant that may be awarded to an individual or organisation is £5,000.
This grant scheme is to help individuals and organisations who have an idea for a social enterprise business and who wish to explore and investigate this further so as to be able to assess whether it is a viable business proposition. Any proposal must be a business idea linked to clear social objectives. We anticipate that the fund will support a wide range of proposals.
Up to £275,000 is available from the SEF for individuals or organisations to deliver new products or services as a social enterprise. The maximum grant that may be awarded to an individual or organisation is £25,000.
Any proposal for funding must be a business idea, linked to clear social objectives working to achieve social impact when delivering services and products as a social enterprise.
You can apply for either Stream 1 or Stream 2, not for both. Please ensure you read the guidelines and eligibility criteria before applying.
Application forms, Guidelines and other documents related to this grant fund are available to download below.
Please note that that the process for Stream 2 has two phases. Anyone wishing to apply must fill in and submit the Expression of Interest Form first.
Only if your proposal is selected, will you be invited to submit a Full Bid Application Form.
Information workshops
We will also be running some free information workshops about the Social Enterprise Fund. These will be held at the following times and locations:
If you would like to book a place on one of the workshops above please email firstname.lastname@example.com with your full name, a contact phone number and the location of the workshop you'd like to attend.

The human tongue contains about 10,000 tiny bumps (called papillae), and every bump has about 250 taste buds. Each taste bud has a pore that opens out to the surface of the tongue, which allows molecules going into the mouth to reach the receptor cells inside. Receptor cells live for only one to two weeks and then are replaced by new receptor cells. Taste buds detect the four basic flavors of salty, sweet, bitter, and sour, and work together with other taste buds on the roof of your mouth to give you the taste of your food.
But taste buds also need help from your nose. While you're chewing, the food releases chemicals that immediately travel up into your nose, triggering your nose's olfactory receptors. Your nose is at least 20,000 times more sensitive than your tongue and it can remember about 50,000 different scents! Smell cells work with your taste buds to create a rich taste experience. In fact, you may notice that if your nose is stuffed and you can't smell your food you also can't taste it very well!

El Paso, TX (Sports Network) - Tevin Washington threw a touchdown pass and ran for another score, helping the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets snap a streak of seven consecutive losses in bowl games with a 21-7 victory over the USC Trojans in the Hyundai Sun Bowl.
Washington carried the ball 16 times for 46 yards for the Yellow Jackets (7-7), who won a bowl game for the first time since 2004. He also completed 3- of-5 passes for 49 yards.
Vad Lee rushed for 52 yards on 10 carries and connected on 2-of-5 passes for 26 yards and a touchdown for Georgia Tech, which made its 16th consecutive bowl appearance, the fourth-longest active streak in the nation.
"I am really proud of our football team and the way they played today," said Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson. "They played with a lot of heart and I know Southern California has some really good football players. It was a hard fought football game and I am really proud of our team and I thought they played well."
Freshman Max Wittek completed 14-of-37 passes for 107 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions for the Trojans (7-6), who were back in a bowl game following a two-year NCAA-imposed bowl ban.
Wittek was starting in place of Matt Barkley, who missed the game due to a sprained right throwing shoulder.
"Obviously a very disappointing day," said USC head coach Lane Kiffin. "It came down to turning the ball over and third down efficiency. I thought the defense did a really good job at limiting them all day."
The teams battled through a scoreless first quarter, though USC kicker Andre Heidari lined up for a 38-yard field goal with less than 7 1/2 minutes remaining in the period. Despite the kick clearly missing wide left, the refs initially signaled that it was good. Upon further review, it was determined the ball did in fact go wide left.
Georgia Tech broke the scoreless tie with a 14-play, 74-yard drive that bridged the first and second frames.
Lee ran for eight yards on 3rd-and-7 to keep the march alive, and Chris Jackson added a 23-yard catch on the first play of the second stanza. Three plays later, B.J. Bostic carried the ball for five yards for another conversion on third down. David Sims then capped the drive with a 3-yard TD catch from Lee on 3rd-and-goal.
The Trojans had a great chance to get on the board after Lamar Dawson picked off Lee. His 22-yard return put the ball at the Georgia Tech 33.
Just two plays later, Wittek was intercepted by Rod Sweeting, who returned the ball 21 yards to the Georgia Tech 46. However, the Yellow Jackets turned the ball over four plays afterward.
Lee's fumble set up USC at their own 41-yard line with 3:24 left in the first half. Robert Woods caught a 23-yard pass on 3rd-and-10 to move the ball to the Georgia Tech 36, and following four runs by Silas Redd, the Trojans faced a 3rd-and-goal from the nine. Redd then caught a pass for a touchdown to make it 7-7.
The Yellow Jackets got a big play from their special teams unit early in the second half, as Jamal Golden returned a punt 56 yards to the 1-yard line. Washington then rumbled into the end zone to make it 14-7 in favor of Georgia Tech.
USC turned the ball over on downs late in the third quarter. The Trojans had the ball at the Georgia Tech 44 after the ball hit off the Yellow Jackets' Demond Smith of the Yellow Jackets during a punt. But on 4th-and-4 from the 38, Wittek had his pass batted down at the line.
Georgia Tech scored a touchdown on its ensuing possession. Jeremy Moore caught a 27-yard pass on the first play to move the ball to the USC 35. Zach Laskey then ran for five yards on 3rd-and-2 to keep the march alive before Orwin Smith capped the drive with a 17-yard TD catch from Washington on 3rd-and- goal, making it 21-7 with 13:11 to play.
Wittek was intercepted twice in the final period to prevent a Trojans' comeback.

City of Alexandria Fire Department, VA, Orders Four CustomFIREÂ Pumpers
RedStorm is pleased to announce that we have received an order from the City of Alexandria Fire Department, Va., for four CustomFIRE pumpers. The order is the first under a multi-year agreement for 2,000-gpm CustomFIRE pumpers. The contract is considered a Washington Metropolitan Area Council of Governments (COG) purchasing contract and can be utilized by other departments and jurisdictions. The City of Alexandria F.D. is a new customer for RedStorm and CustomFIRE, and the four units are scheduled to be delivered in Fall 2012.
"The City of Alexandria conducted a competitive Invitation To Bid (ITB) process to ensure the best value for the department in determining the successful bidder. The combination of exceptional quality, customized design and affordability provided by the CustomFIRE pumpers and RedStorm proved to be the winning combination,†said Jim Featherstone, RedStorm president. "Moreover, the longevity of these stainless steel bodies and the easy repairability characteristics unique to Custom Fire's concealed fastener construction method are attractive benefits in Alexandria's demanding operational environment.â€
The four pumpers are customized to meet the unique requirements of this high-run, urban department. Each is built on a Spartan chassis with a raised roof, a cab extension, ruggedized interior and a best-in-class, front axle cramp angle for exceptional maneuverability.
"Spartan chassis offer exceptional interior room for the officer and crew, expansive visibility and industry-leading maneuverability, which is extremely important for responding safely, especially in many of Alexandria's historic areas,†explained Featherstone.
The pumpers feature a 2,000-gpm Hale Q-Max pump, FoamPro 2002 foam system with Class A and B capability, 750-gallon poly water tank and 100-gallon foam capacity. The design incorporates a compact body length, low hosebed height for easy access, preconnects on the bumper and at the rear, and a large-diameter suction at the rear. The apparatus bodies, pump module, water tank cradle and underbody supports are all stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance. In addition, the pumpers are designed so that they are able to fit the unique space constraints associated with several historic Alexandria fire stations.
City of Alexandria Fire Department
Located just outside Washington D.C., the City of Alexandria Fire Department provides comprehensive fire and emergency medical services in a 15-square-mile metropolitan area. Founded in 1774, this historic department counts George Washington among its early members. Today, the department employs more than 250 professional personnel, which include firefighters, paramedics, fire prevention staff and administrative support, responding from nine stations to more than 18,000 calls annually.

The U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released its February employment report this morning, which showed that the U.S. economy added 236,000 jobs, with the unemployment rate going down two-tenths of a point to 7.7 percent. With this good month, coupled with revisions of numbers going back a few months, the three-month average of new jobs is 195,000 per month—higher than we're used to seeing over the past few years. These numbers, having beat expectations (as well as ADP and Moodys Analytics' job report numbers released on Wednesday, which said that 198,000 jobs were added in February), hopefully are a strong sign that the recovery is gaining steam.
December's employment numbers were revised up by 23,000 jobs (from 196,000 to 219,000), but January's numbers were revised down by 38,000 jobs (from 157,000 to 119,000). While these numbers are sending a mixed message, for sure, the economy has added an average of 195,000 jobs per month over the past three months, as mentioned earlier, so the January downward revision is probably not significant (unless downward revisions become a trend in the future).
The architecture and engineering services segment of the economy added 3,100 jobs in February. After seeing a slight loss of 300 jobs in January, this result puts the design industry back on track. Before New Years, the segment had been on a roll, adding 3,800 jobs in December, 2,400 added in November, and 1,500 in October. This is also congruous with what the AIA's Architecture Billings Index (ABI) has been telling us, which in January had shown growth in architecture billings for six straight months. And if anything, the ABI shows industry growth speeding up.
The construction industry also had another good month for job growth, with 48,000 jobs added to that segment of the economy in February. This tops the 28,000 added in January as well as the 30,000 added in December. Since September, the construction industry has added 151,000 jobs, and if the trend continues, we should see more growth in the coming months.
As was the case last month, most of the new construction jobs went to trade contractors (residential and nonresidential), who posted 31,700 new jobs in February. Residential building construction saw a boost of 2,300 new jobs. Nonresidential new building construction saw a big boost of 6,200 new jobs—and this after having lost 2,000 jobs in January.
According to the BLS's data, over the last 12 months, the construction industry has added 140,000 jobs. (Yes, that is 11,000 less than it has added in just the past six months.) Architectural and engineering services has added 26,300 jobs over that same time period. The BLS's January jobs report may have delivered some promising news, especially in the revised data of 2012, but February's report is pretty good news all around.

When WhiskyFest announced in 2011 that it would move to a weekend format, the Forward noted that it would be abandoning traditionally-observant Jews who made up a significant proportion of the attendees.
Into the breach stepped Whisky Jewbilee — from the founders of Single Cask Nation — providing a non-Sabbath, kosher-keeping option for Jewish whisky drinkers of which The New York Times assures us there are many.
After two highly successful Jewbilees (in 2012 and 2013), WhiskyFest has decided to move to Wednesday night October 29 for its 2014 New York event. That's two weeks after Sukkot, for those keeping track. This sensitivity to its clientele is limited to New York — Chicago WhiskyFest will be on a Friday night and San Francisco WhiskyFest will be held on Friday night, Kol Nidre.
John Hansell, editor and publisher of Whisky Advocate — the organizer of WhiskyFest — noted that the "primary reason" for the switch:
Is that we want the New York seminar day to be the best whisky event anywhere. To achieve this, we need to have substantial quantities of incredibly rare whiskies procured for an audience of several hundred whisky enthusiasts; this is extremely difficult to accomplish on an annual basis.
Apparently the world's premier whisky event can't manage a two-day seminar every year without the Jews.
So WhiskyFest wants the Jews back, but will the Scotch-quaffing Heebs go back to WhiskyFest? Joshua Hatton from Whisky Jewbilee thinks the jury is out.
We've been here for the kosher-keeping, whisky-loving, Jewish community and, while we wish WhiskyFest all the success in the world, we hope that our community will remember us and will stick with us or go to both events.
He assures the Forward that, though the 2014 date for Whisky Jewbilee is yet to be set, it is definitely going ahead. The kosher food will be there, the cigar options will expand and the opportunities for schmoozing will be greater than ever.
October has come, and the warmth of the summer has fled those parts of these United States that only carry it seasonally. While Florida and California continue to sip their sparkling white wines, other regions are looking forward to that most enticing of prophylactic belly-glows: whisky.
While San Francisco mulls its recent Simchat Torah WhiskyFest and the New York area looks forward to the mid October Whisky Jewbilees, some Israelis are taking the long view.
For those few chilly areas of the Holy Land, or perhaps in case the Middle East suffers a spot of global cooling, Simon Fried and his partners at the Milk and Honey Distillery are making whisky.
The Forward's Dan Friedman emailed with Fried about the challenges of single malt whisky production in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's backyard.
Dan Friedman: There are three things you need to make whisky: water, barley and time. Israel doesn't obviously have any of those, so why do you want to set up a distillery in Israel?
Simon Fried: We want to set up a whisky distillery in Israel for several reasons. On a personal level, as individuals, the distillery's founders are all whisky buffs. Some have craft and home-brewing experience from Israel. I have worked as a business consultant to Macallan. We want to and believe we can make a good whisky. Secondly, there is a growing movement of world whiskies. As we see it each whisky serves as an ambassador for its country of origin. We wanted to create such an ambassador. We want to make a kosher whisky that Jewish people and friends of Israel can be proud of.
The largest whisky event of the year took place last weekend at the Marriott Marquis. Stretching from sundown Friday to a later Saturday night, WhiskyFest NY was attended by hundreds of aficionados of the pungent malt. Sadly, I couldn't make it this year, but I managed to stop by the first so-called "Whisky Jewbilee" run by Single Cask Nation just before the weekend.
Single Cask Nation is an attempt to turn a hobby into a business. Joshua Hatton, Jason Johnstone-Yellin and Seth Klaskin took what began as a blog and the Jewish Single Malt Whisky Society and turned it into a niche bottler and importer of whisky. Though I was interested to see (and taste) what the hosts had found to put in their bottles, my expectations were fairly low. The location was a synagogue hall on Manhattan's Upper West Side, I didn't recognize the names of many of the whiskies being poured and the price seemed high at $75 (though, full disclosure, members of the press were not charged).
The extra nights refer to no Hanukkah miracle, but the (expensive) extension of WhiskyFest New York. As I reported on November 11, in response to heavy demand for tickets Malt Advocate has decided to move WhiskyFest from a Tuesday night to a whole weekend and to rename it WhiskyFest Weekend New York.
With a $675 price tag and a Friday night start time, it seems like the demand and the demographic for next year's event will be different from previous ones. Granted there are many more sessions to attend and granted you can also sign up for a "Grand Tasting" on either Friday or Saturday night for around the same amount as the 2011 event ($175 if you book before July), but it seems there's no hope for Sabbath-observant Jews trying to make it to a "Grand Tasting" on a week when Sabbath does not end until 6.30pm.
Convincing ten straight men to talk seriously about an artisanal product for half an hour is like pulling teeth: Convincing 2,000 straight men to pay over $100 each to discuss nuances in its process and product for three or four hours on a Tuesday night, is marketing gold. And that's the genius of WhiskyFest New York (and Chicago and San Francisco) — getting a crowd of men to approach a premium, gourmet product as if it were baseball.
And, despite this year's WhiskyFest New York on November 1 being held inside the Marriott Marquis hotel, a sprinkling of baseball caps were indeed in evidence. They were, however, not being worn out of respect for America's secular religion, but worn by some individualistic members of the Modern Orthodox population who were extremely well represented at the event. Largely, though, black kippahs were de rigeur for those sipping the smooth, honeyed grass flavors of the 30-year-old Old Pulteney or the beautifully rounded peaty tones of the 17-year-old Balvennie.
As the Forward's international whisky correspondent I was hoping for some modest representation of the tribe at the 2010 New York WhiskyFest this Tuesday. What I wasn't ready for, though, was a minyan davening maariv in the lobby just before the doors opened for the non-VIP guests.
That sense of hevruta set the scene for an evening where, among the 2,000 or so attendees sipping, sniffing and talking whisky there was a disproportionate presence of Jews with kippahs, Jews without kippahs and, in a couple of cases, even Jews wearing shaytls. A relative dearth of Jewish women, though, was entirely in keeping with an event that was an almost exclusively male affair.

Dementia: PM promises push to tackle 'national crisis'
Extra funding for research into dementia forms a central plank of the government's attempts to tackle the "national crisis" in care.
David Cameron said he wanted to see the UK become a world leader in the field.
In a move widely welcomed by campaigners, the prime minister promised the research budget would be doubled to £66m by 2015.
He also said he wanted to see diagnosis and awareness of the condition improved.
Dementia is thought to affect about 800,000 people, with the cost to society estimated at £23bn.
In the next decade, the number with the disease is expected to top one million.
Mr Cameron said: "One of the greatest challenges of our time is what I'd call the quiet crisis, one that steals lives and tears at the hearts of families, but that - relative to its impact - is hardly acknowledged.
Doubling the money spent on dementia research is being welcomed by many, but it will still mean the condition is the poor relation compared with other diseases.
Both cancer and heart disease already get more than the £66m sum being promised by ministers.
And this is out of all proportion to the burden of caring for dementia patients.
The £23bn figure being quoted today is nearly double the figure spent on cancer and three times the sum for heart disease.
But perhaps more telling is the proportion of that cost being borne by family and friends.
The majority of people with the condition live in the community, relying on family and friends to look after them. That contribution is estimated to account for more than half the costs of care.
Coupled to the ageing population, which will see the number of people with the condition double over the next 40 years, dementia is perhaps one of the biggest challenges facing the health and social care systems in the 21st Century.
"Dementia is simply a terrible disease. And it is a scandal that we as a country haven't kept pace with it.
"The level of diagnosis, understanding and awareness of dementia is shockingly low. It is as though we've been in collective denial."
He added the issue should be treated as a "national crisis".
To tackle the problem, he set out a series of measures - some of which had already been announced - to be rolled out in the coming years.
These included the rise in research funding and encouraging the creation of 20 "dementia-friendly communities" where individuals, businesses and the state work together to support people with dementia.
The Department of Health will also run a public awareness campaign in the autumn, while hospitals will be given financial incentives to carry out checks on patients to see if they have the condition - just four in 10 patients have a formal diagnosis.
He said the steps would allow Britain to become a "world leader in dementia research and care".
Alzheimer's Research UK said it could be a turning point in the battle to defeat dementia.
And Jeremy Hughes, chief executive of the Alzheimer's Society, said called it an "unprecedented step" towards improving care.
David Rogers, chairman of the Local Government Association's community wellbeing board, said: "There needs to be urgent action to ensure the way we offer support to older people is fairer, simpler and fit for purpose in order to truly meet the needs of the most vulnerable members of our society."

Study Shows Cortland County Residents Aren't Very Healthy
Thursday, March 21, 2013
A new health rankings report shows that people in Cortland County need to start taking better care of their bodies. The study measures healthy behaviors by county, and ranks them in every state.
Cortland County ranks 43rd out of 62 counties for overall health, the study which looked at smoking rates, obesity, alcohol consumption, S-T-D's, motor vehicle deaths, and teen birth rates finds Cortland County has a lot of work to do to improve the health of its citizens.
The rankings released by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and University of Wisconsin shows, 15% of Cortland County residents are in poor health, the national average is 10%. 21% of adults in the county smoke compared to 13% nationally.
Cortland County also exceeds the national averages for physical inactivity, adult obesity, excessive drinking, motor vehicle fatalities, and sexually transmitted diseases. The one area the county beats the national average is teen birth rate.
The study shows county residents have average or above average access to health care, but poverty and unemployment rates here are higher than the national benchmarks.
Cortland County pollution levels are higher, but residents do have access to health foods, the number of fast food restaurants in the area is almost twice as high as the national average.
Neighboring Tompkins County ranked 3rd in the study, Tioga County was 15th, Broome was listed 48th. The least healthy county is the Bronx which came in dead last.

The Health Sciences Center at West Virginia University is deploying lecture capture technologies to serve students in its medical, nursing, pharmacy, and dentistry programs.
For the deployment, the university is using Camtasia Relay from TechSmith. Camtasia Relay is a lecture capture solution that can be used on Mac OS X and Windows systems for classroom recording. It offers LDAP integration and encoding in multiple formats, including MP3, MP4, Real, and Windows Media, for publishing to a variety of destinations, including common learning management systems and iTunes U, among others.
"Its incredible time savings and ease-of-use makes Camtasia Relay the single greatest find for our IT department this year," said Eric Coffman, network manager at West Virginia University HSC, in a prepared statement. "There is a high student demand for lecture capture and Camtasia Relay has allowed us to meet those demands without putting a great burden on our IT department. With Camtasia Relay we have found a lecture capture solution that empowers the individual instructors to record and share lectures with no IT support and gives students the ability to view their lectures anytime and anywhere - including on their favorite portable media device."
West Virginia University serves nearly 29,000 students, including about 22,000 undergraduates and about 7,000 graduate and professional students. The Health Sciences Center serves about 5,000 students and employs more than 500 faculty and staff.

PUBLISHED: 10 May 2013 04:46:00 | UPDATED: 10 May 2013 16:25:07PUBLISHED: 12 Apr 2013 PRINT EDITION: 10 May 2013Internet entrepreneur Michael Malone believes in building fences, not going to business school and how "the work-life balance thing is bullshit". Photo: Rohan Thomson
David Ramli
I think the whole work-life balance thing is bullshit. You've got to do what you enjoy and I think you've got to be mindful of the impact that has on other people. I really like my job and I like the stuff that comes with it. Today all of my close friends are iiNet staff and you may say it's a bad thing but I don't see it as a bad thing.
Of course I don't [see my kids enough]. That's a big deal. But my kids talk to their friends at school and they say: "My dad makes the internet work." So they're proud of me and that is important to me.
For me, it's also important to do something that's meaningful and to leave the world a better place than [it was when] you came in. So would I trade off more time with my kids if that meant not doing anything worthwhile in my career? No, I wouldn't. I want to be able to sit down with my kids in five, 10, 50 years and be able to say: "We did something, we changed the world."
Everything I know about business today, I learned from my parents. I never did business courses or business school and I've read far too few business books. My parents ran a business putting up fences, so every morning at 5 am there'd be people out there slamming their boots to get yesterday's mud off. I was doing it from when I was eight. Many's the time dad would come out and see a fence I'd put up and he wasn't happy with it so he'd just rip it out and say: "We're going to do it again." That's not because the customer was complaining. It's just because he said that's not the best work – so we're going to have to do it again.
Once someone called up at 2.30am because a storm had blown a pool fence down and it bordered onto a primary school. What do you do? You get out of bed and using headlights, you put a patch job in place. None of us wants to get the call the next day saying there was a child floating in that pool.
One of the nice things about doing construction of any sort is I'd go out and work very hard during the day; you'd sweat your guts out and so on. Then at the end of the day you'd look at something you've built and you've achieved something.
How it all started
In 1993, I was finishing my university degree and I was going to lose my internet access, which I'd had since 1987, when it was connected in WA. It was a small community back then so I had a lot more friends online than in real life. It was $25,000 a year for a 14Kbps link and I knew I couldn't afford that so I asked a few other students if they would chip in as well – and that's where it all came from.
The "market research" was asking a few other friends at university if they would be a part of this. The "business plan" was taking $25, which is what I thought was reasonable for internet access for the dial-up, multiplying it by 200 and saying that'll cover all the expenses.
We're a broadband provider and we try and help you get your broadband as effectively as possible. That's our entire business in a nutshell. But working in the digital world there are many days you work very, very hard, you go home mentally exhausted and you're not sure if you've achieved anything yet. In fact, it can be years before you find out if it's going to work.
We get about 2000 survey responses per day [and] our customer satisfaction surveys and Net Promoter Scores (NPS) are how we measure our success on a daily basis. We're highly sensitive to churn because it's not a case of losing one customer being equal to gaining another customer. The lower the churn is the longer the customer stays and the higher their lifetime value.
I think measuring NPS applies to all business but it's particularly good for annuities-based businesses because we're not trying to sell the customer a new product every month and the longer the customer stays with you the better.
One good idea
People describe me as an entrepreneur but I've had one good business idea in my life and I'm still there. I'm an operator and I love running the business. If the business got taken out tomorrow, if the board decided I wasn't the right person for the job any more, where would I be in a year? I'd want to be running another business that matters.
Staff are so important. We use the probationary period ruthlessly because I don't think you can ever work out if someone's right for the position just with an interview. Over 50 per cent of our executives have failed in that first few months or we've decided to part ways. That cultural fit – whether or not I want to come and see you at work tomorrow – is just so important. Your biggest problem in business is the top performer who is a bad cultural fit because you've got to get rid of them even though they're delivering.
I like lining up expeditions that I'm going to do in a year and look forward to that. And that makes going to work OK, even on the bad days.
The weird way it started was I won a business class ticket from Singapore Airlines to anywhere in the world and I wanted something completely different. Kilimanjaro is the tallest mountain in Africa so that was the first one I went to in January 2008.
I went back as the result of a bet with the chief executive of Azure Capital, Geoff Rasmussen. Back then he was a big man, so the idea that he was going to haul his arse up there … It was fantastic and we raised over $100,000 for Lifeline.

Novo Nordisk climbs global list of 100 most sustainable companies
Novo Nordisk moved up 33 positions to rank 16th in the 2011 Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations. Corporate Knights, the magazine for clean capitalism, announced the results from its seventh annual Global 100 list on January 29 at the Davos World Economic Forum.
From its inception on February 1 2005, the Global 100 Most Sustainable
Corporations has achieved a total return of 54.95%, outperforming its benchmark (the MSCI All Country World Index) by more than 16% to December 31st, 2010.
"The Global 100 are charting out a new prosperity agenda reconciling the
megatrend of sustainability with the mega-institution of the corporation," said Toby Heaps, Editor-in-Chief of Corporate Knights Magazine. "The kicker: sustainability can be a market-beating strategy, as the Global 100's substantial outperformance demonstrates."
The 2011 Global 100 relied on intelligence from the world's largest sustainability research alliance put together by Legg Mason's Global Currents Investment Management and Phoenix Global Advisors LLC. The research isolated the top ten per cent of companies from 3000 global stocks, which were then transparently ranked based on 10 indicators. All data was collected by Corporate Knights Research Group and verified with The BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL® service.
The Global 100 includes companies from 22 countries encompassing all sectors of the economy, with collective annual sales in excess of US 3 trillion, and five million employees.

William Haggas is praying for rain ahead of Fury's run in the William Hill Lincoln at Doncaster on Saturday.
The Yorkshire-born Newmarket trainer has already won the prestigious handicap that kicks off the Flat turf season three times.
Fury, owned by the Cheveley Park Stud, is ante-post favourite for the one-mile cavalry charge on the opening day of the 2012 campaign.
"Fury's fine. He's on target and he'll definitely run," said Haggas.
"His chance will be increased if we get some rain."
Uneaten in two races as a two-year-old, the Invincible Spirit gelding failed to add to that tally last term, but was fifth to Frankel in the 2000 Guineas on his seasonal reappearance.
He was then just touched off by Tazahum in a Listed heat at Sandown, after which he lost his form.

Sunset pres. Thrillseekers & Martin Roth @ Brown Alley (14/05/2010)
Mon 24th May, 2010 Event Reviews
inAfter losing my phone on the way to Brown Alley, I wasn't feeling as though there was much to be thrilled about. But as soon as I walked in, the tunes were phat and the floor was packed. My night was immediately guaranteed to get better.
Sunset brought us two great international DJs over the course of the night with our locals ready to rock. Brown Alley have taken advantage of the opportunity to create an awesome upstairs smoking deck, avoiding the previous crowded alleyway from before. You can still hear the music – especially with the upstairs room housing some great local DJs including James Brooke, Nick Asker and Algorithm providing no need to rush back inside.
The dance floor was packed from the start of Martin Roths's fantastic three hour techno/ progressive/ trance set. The crowd were loving it as he just kept on building track after track. The loyal fans were out in force making plenty of noise, with Roth pulling out some amazing tunes, particularly when he dropped a little Faithless into the mix, though I especially loved hearing The Eric Prydz Remix of Not Going Home. You really could feel the energy in the room.
During the three hours of Thrillseekers, the dance floor started getting a little sparse, particularly toward the end though Steve Helstrip still pulled out some classics including Markus Schultz and Andy Moor's Daydream and one of my favourite tracks by Jes with her cover of The Cure's Lovesong. We were also treated to Savanna mashed up with Carrie Skipper's Time Goes By.
The headliners' late finish no doubt contributed towards the thinning crowd by the end of the night, as people struggled to keep their energy up for six hours of goodness. What it lacked in for crowd-staying power, the standard dual laser set-up was still popular and there were still plenty of hands in the air for all of the big tracks. I was especially happy to hear Motorcycle's As The Rush Comes still get a spin, even if some people commented there was too much vocal trance for them to cope with. I wish I could hear both of the sets back over as it was a great balance of techno and trance that would have provided the best of both worlds to those sitting on the fence or those holding fast in their camps. But with a few drinks with my mates and some excellent tuneage, this was what going out was all about.

So I wanted to have this Tuesday Toot as something major....something like:
- Today I learned how to knit
- Today I cleaned the entire house and managed to declutter everything
- Today I taught Mason how to speak a new language
- Today I finally found someone to watch Mason before/after daycare (keep dreamin!)
When really all I did today was made arrangements for a new daycare for Mason. So it's not official as of yet, but we do have the information and we are going on a tour. So it doesn't sound like a huge thing right? I'm so terrified though! Mason has been in the same centre since he was just over 12 months old. He started on January 31, 2005 (don't ask me how I remember that!).

Beauty Reflected: Collection of Reflection in Photography
- By Noupe Editorial Team
- Posted in Inspiration, Photography
- 7 comments
There are many techniques that photographers use to enhance their pictures, though some focus on allowing their composition to bring most of the 'wow' factor to the works. With the aid of a variety of reflective surfaces, these talented photographers expand their pics, adding another layer to each piece. A layer that can really take the images to fantastic new places. Like in the collection below.
Today we have a showcase of wonderful shots taken with some of the beauty of the piece reflected for the viewer. So many creative ways reflection in photography can be highlighted and pulled off, that we felt it would be an inspiring collection for our readers. Here's hoping that we are right.

Erasmus is the higher education section of a European Community action program. Nuertingen-Geislingen University has been involved in the program for many years.
Erasmus is an exchange program. Nuertingen-Geislingen University agrees to receive a yearly quota of students and teaching staff from each partner institution (incoming). This quota matches the number of places reserved for NGU students and teaching staff at the partner institution (outgoing).
Students who take part in the program are sent by their home university and do not pay fees to the receiving institution. For one semester or one year, they follow a program of study deemed equivalent to that of their home university. The marks obtained during their Erasmus period of study count towards their degree at the home university.
Most partner institutions offer study programs in English, some offer mainly courses in the national language.

Edward Robert "Bobby" Ginn III was the chairman and CEO of Ginn Resorts, a resort development and management company, and former owner of the merged NASCAR Nextel Cup team Ginn Racing (formerly MB2 Motorsports, which he purchased from MB2 owner Nelson Bowers, Jr. in 2006).[1]
Ginn started Ginn Resorts in 1998 (then the Ginn Company). The company owned land in Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Vermont, Colorado, Bahamas and Saint Thomas. During the economic boom of early 21st century, Bobby Ginn developed many high-end resorts. When the real estate market collapsed during the Global financial crisis, he faced lawsuits from disgruntled lot and condominium purchasers who alleged that he used deceptive and misleading trade practices. Bobby Ginn has stated he will "vigorously defend against these false allegations".[2] Property owners at his former Ginn Sur Mer resort development in the Bahama's are suing Ginn's lender Credit Suisse as part of a multi-billion dollar lawsuit led by the bankrupt luxury Yellowstone Club founder Tim Blixseth and his son Beau Blixseth. The owners claim the resort failed because of a "loan to own" scheme between the bank and Ginn that was replicated at other luxury resorts in the United States.[3]
On July 25, 2007, Dale Earnhardt, Inc. and Ginn Racing (named by Thomas Ginn in 2006) merged, forming a four-car team starting with the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard.[4]
Ginn sponsored several professional golf events including the Ginn Championship at Hammock Beach, the Ginn Open at Reunion and the Ginn sur Mer Classic at the Conservatory. On January 28, 2009 The Ginn Companies withdrew their sponsorship of these events, will not be hosting or producing any of these professional golf tournaments (including 2009 tournaments).
