Parvisepalum Paphs.
Attended a talk by Norito Hasegawa on the Parvisepalum group of Paphiopedilum. I'm not into Paphs having resisted the urge to lay down major funds for rothschildianum etc and have never grown these guys but this subgroup sounds very attractive. They are from Viet Nam and surrounding areas and seem to like it cool and moist. I like plants with that requirement.
Local vendors have few to none of these. Andy lists none, neither does Cal Orchids, SBOE offers one. On eBay, Chinese vendors appear a good bet. Of American vendors, Piping Rock Orchids has a good selection of both species and hybrids at reasonable prices. Mount Prospect Orchids and Orchids Limited also has a great selection but judging from their prices, the pots must be made out of gold. Too heavy for my benches
Is anyone growing this subgroup, what is your experience? Who are your favorite vendors for these plants?
I'm curious to hear experiences with these as well, particularly ease/flexibility of care. I've avoided attempting them myself for a long time.
With Antec no longer operating I think the big go to is piping rock. I'd check out Woodstream orchids. They've done some interesting Parvi crosses, ie to assorted bulldog paphs.
Bought a bunch of them on eBay from a China vendor. I offered to send my import permit. Offer was declined, he will include Phyto and CITES but claims that he does not need an import permit as long as he sends less than 13 plants with that documentation. Never heard of that before.
The price is right, Paphiopedilum armeniacum, 2 growths in bud for $12, can't be beat. Others charge $35 for plants not in bud. Paphiopedilum emersonii, 1 growth for $18 is another example, lowest price I found in the US is $40. Hopefully it's not a case of 'too good to be true'. Will know in 2 to 3 weeks. Shipping is $18 for the 1st plant, $2 for any additional plant. Getting 6 at this point, maybe 3 more within 2 days. Will report on the outcome in 2 to 3 weeks.
If you like cool paphs the easy one is P. insigne.
I have 3 small plants outside next to my house in shade
and they seem to handle getting a bit on the dry side as well as the cold weather and flower.
I have also moved P. druryi outside and it has flowered for the first time since i got it back in 1974!! It is in osmunda root in mostly shade. this is a big surprise. It seems to have handled the very cold weather down into the high 20s we have had the past week.
I'm growing delantii and vietnamense. Fine orchiata bark, watered frequently, stay outdoors from May until mid-October in central Ohio. The delantii is putting out buds/spikes now, the vietnamense is just kind of sitting there, growing slowing but not adding any new growths. Maybe I need to keep it a bit cooler. I add calcium 2 x year to most of my paph species, but not to the delantii. As I understand it, the delantii likes it acidic, so no calcium/oyster shells in that one.
May be too late, but Parkside has some of these, mostly hybrids...
I've ordered from them in the past (paphs included), always been happy.

Hi Nick:
Our orchid society is a big fan of Piping Rock (Glen Decker) He vends and gives workshops at our annual February show, and gave us a good "talking to" last month at our usual meeting. He's knowledgable and has good quality stock.
Parkside also has a good reputation with one of our members who has purchased there, but I have not personally ordered from them - yet...
Best wishes from snowy WMass.
Parkside has an impressive list. Many out of stock but also many available. Some plants have remarkable range of prices. Paph vietnamense goes for $150 from the Chinese vendor who otherwise has remarkably low prices, most under $20. It lists for $35 from Parkside, as do most of their other plants.
The fat is sin the fire, I have ordered from 2 Chinese vendors on eBay, 2 weeks from now should have results. Will report.
Your a bad boy, Nick. I had a miscommunication with a Thailand vendor and they sent befor I sent my paperwork to them and I lost the shipment. An empty box arrived with a note in side saying they were confiscated by our government. Not a good thing.
The strange thing is that I have an import permit and have imported plants before. I offered to send it to these 2 but they declined. They will include phyto and CITES but insist that if there are less than 13 plants they do not need the import permit.
I also got an empty box from Thailand once and a full refund from PayPal.
Interesting story about permits.
A couple of months ago at a plant show, I had the chance to speak with another WMass (western Massachusetts) orchid grower. He had the occasion to go to Burma (Myanmar), not specifically as an orchid trip though. He said in the market place, he saw baskets full of wild collected orchids including Paphs. They could be bought for $5-US. That's 5 for the basket, not per plant, and $5 was a lot of money to the collector. He did not buy any since CITES permits would have been near unattainable.

I cracked and got the vietnamense from Parkside, we may have to compare notes... Also got a charlesworthii and a Nortio Hasegawa.
My own worst enemy :-(

Received a price list of plants Dr Holger Perner and his wife will bring to San Francisco in Feb. One can preorder and pick up there or they'll mail them to you once they are in in the US. It included a very exhaustive list of Cinese Cymbidiums.
Here are their contact particulars, I'm sure they'll email you the list if requested.

Oh my gosh Nick,haven't checked in for awhile. This is important.
Sam Tsui owner of Orchid Inn. He has spectacular stuff. Parkside was fantastic in the past. I got my HCC Primcolor from them when the guys still owned it. I think some of the "Chinese" paphs are super easy but then I had a nivium cross for years bloomed great a couple times then it up and died on me. Couldn't make it happy again.:[
When I listened to Norito Hasegawa give his talk I knew very little about the parvisepalums. I knew they existed but not a whole lot more. That talk was Dec 8th and I was not the only one in the group who knew very little about these plants. After bouncing around eBay and following all the leads expressed in this blurb, it is amazing what's available out there. One really has to make a chart comparing the different sizes and number of growths of a given species. Then add price and eventually a picture emerges of what would be reasonable to start with.
Since they bloom in the spring, this is the perfect time to get one's feet wet with them. I preordered some from Dr Holger Perner who will touch down in San Francisco in February and have a couple of eBay orders coming in. Let's see where that leaves me before I break the bank with Orchid Inn and Parkside to name a few.
At the same time my Cypripediums are vernalizing in the fridge in the garage, some of the Chinese vendors one cannot help run across while dealing with this group, also have some very unusual Cypripediums. Where does it all end? I'll have a lot of plants with pouches in bloom this spring and yet don't have a single rothschildianum, fairianum etc. The members in my society who grow these, have no Cyps nor do they grow the parvisepalums.
IMO, the "brachy" types are pretty similar. I grow my niveum right beside my delantii (intermediate, damp) and it is also spiking currently. I've become an 'expert' on the bellatum and concolor ones though, killed all I've tried within 1 year :-(
I keep hearing that story over and over again as I talk to people. I have never grown them but expect a bunch of them to arrive within the next week or so. What is the trick to success and why do so may people have difficulty with that group when they seem to be doing OK with the other Paphs.
My understanding is that they like cool and moist, no winter rest, moderate light. There are a couple of warm growers but the vast majority are on the cool side. Anything else? I would appreciate any advice from people who grow them successfully.
Thanks, Nick
Received my vietnamense from Parkside, it had 1 growth and 3 smallish leaves. Made my older vietnamense (has 1 growth and 5 leaves which are @2" longer than Parkside's) from Orchids.com/Norman's look downright 'BIG'...
I also got a P. charlesworthii, a blooming medicalcar decoratum, a P. Norito Hasagawa and a blooming slightly variegated leaved phal. The charlesworthii was in bad shape, but when I contacted Parkside, they stated they would make it good after the 1st of the year. I did notice it was no longer listed on their website either, so I may have gotten one of the last ones. As long as they keep their word on the charlesworthii, I'll be pretty happy. The other 4 were in very good shape.
Hi Bob, This in Bob from NY and I have three of these in 2 inch pots that I grew from compots. Two of the three are in bud at the moment with a single growth. I'm at work at the moment so can't give you a leaf span but my guess would be around 6 or 7 inch leaf span.
Here is the photos of two of my three vietanamens. I had a compot of 3 or 4 to start with. The smallest one has a leaf span on only 3 inches (photo not included). The one on the left has a leaf span of 9 1/2 inches with one leaf on the left side and three on the right side. The one on the right has a leaf span of 8 inches and has one leaf on the left side and two on the right. The width of the leaves from both plants vary from 1 1/2 inches to as wide as 2 inches.
Here's a pic after I initially un-potted the charlesworthii.
This was newly potted in a 4" pot, you can see the root threads (by the 'r' in word starting on the ad)where I ended up cutting away the dead roots before re-potting into a 3" pot. The longest looking segment of roots that are detached from the plant were dead.
I ended up un-potting/checking roots because the plant was very, very wobbly in it's original 4" pot.

Just wanted to follow up about Parkside.
They are sending a spiking Paph. Wossner Bellarmi (bellatulum x armeniacum) when the weather permits. I'm very satisfied with the replacement.
Also ordered a couple of varieties of Phal. mannii's, heck can't just let one 'kid ship by itself :-)

We had planned on staying here however when we arrived we found it looked nothing like the pictures on their web site. Many old RV's that had not been taken care of, and the general appearance was that of a dump. The lady we talked to said they took cash, no credit cards; however nothing was mentioned on the web site, nor was I told that when I made the reservation. Also was under the impression that they had cable TV, but they did not. We did not stay here and am very glad we didn't, as we found a beautiful RV park in Hardeeville, SC.

The staff here is extremely friendly and accommodating. It is very quiet. We had 50 amp but don't know if all sites have it, since this is an older campground, with some permanent residents. We didn't use the laundry house or bathrooms. We would definitely come back, as the price is right and the staff is wonderful. We camped at Stoney Crest Plantation Campground in a Motorhome.Undo

For all their posturing and efforts at keeping one another guessing, the RJD, the LJP and the Congress are set for an alliance in Bihar, going by indications from all three parties. Sources in the Congress said, in fact, that the alliance would likely be given formal shape after an AICC meeting on January 17 that is expected to project Rahul Gandhi as prime ministerial candidate.
A top AICC source told The Indian Express the party has "almost decided" on that alliance while taking care not to go against Rahul's "anti-corruption" rider. RJD chief Lalu Prasad cannot contest in any case, having been convicted, and a large section of the Congress leadership believes it can can impress upon the RJD and the LJP to choose candidates with a clean image. The RJD had got 18.81 per cent of the votes in the last assembly elections while suffering its worst defeat; the feeling on either side is it can only gain by tying up with the Congress.
The Congress has not ruled the JD(U) out altogether as a potential ally. "At least two leaders close to Rahulji are still in favour of an alliance with the JD(U), but that is possible only if it works out as a Congress-LJP-JD(U) alliance," a source said. "Ram Vilas Paswan, however, has been wary of his core Paswan voters turning against him if he goes with the JD(U)." Others point out Paswan's objective is allying with the Congress, whoever else in part of it.
It is, however, Lalu and Paswan who recently met Sonia Gandhi and were reportedly assured of an alliance under a formula that could see the RJD taking its share 15 to 17 of 40 seats and leaving the division of the rest to the Congress and the LJP. With two Bihar members in the Lok Sabha, the Congress is likley to bargain for a larger share than the LJP, which has none.

Survivor 2013 Caramoan Episode 11 Preview: Three Amigos Go Recruiting
This week on Survivor 2013 Caramoan, Malcolm, Reynold and Eddie scramble to keep their "Three Amigos" alliance in tact. They've played all the immunity idols, so it's time to start recruiting.
From the preview below, it looks like they're going for Sherri. And it looks like she might take the bait.
"If you can't beat them, you join them," Sherri says.
I do hope Sherri joins them. It will definitely make the game more interesting if this is how it plays out. If not, it's going to be pretty predictable the next three weeks as the three strong guys are picked off one by one.
Also this week, is the highly-anticipated Survivor Auction. I cannot wait to see what people will spend their Survivor cash on this season.
Be sure to check back in with us on Wednesday night for a live coverage of Episode 11 of Survivor 2013 and then look for the full recap the following morning.
Survivor 2013 Caramoan: Jeff Probst Talks Phillip, Tribal And Immunity Idols
Last week on Survivor 2013 Caramoan, fans were treated to one of the best Tribal Councils ever as Malcolm played one immunity idol and gave Eddie the other, forcing Phillip out of the game.
Survivor host Jeff Probst talked with Entertainment Weekly about everything that went down last week.
Jeff seemed disgusted by Phillip when he decided not to play in last week's immunity challenge, but Jeff has nothing but respect for Phillip.
"Mostly I just love it when Phillip says… or does… anything,"Jeff said. "I would like to thank Phillip for all he gave this season. There are some who think we featured him too much, some who wish he had shown more of him and still others who wish he was never on in the first place. I am firmly planted in the "love me some Phillip" camp — and I'm sorry to see him go. But boy does it open up a whole new game."
And what everyone is talking about is the big move Malcolm made during Tribal Council to ensure he, Eddie and Reynold survivor one more week. So what did Jeff think of it?
"Ah, it's up there for sure! I love big moves. Love them," Jeff said. "I often reflect back on one of the great lines of cinema from the movie Wall Street. Charlie Sheen's character is going to meet Michael Douglas. As he stands outside of his office he says to himself, "Life all comes down to a few moments and this is one of them." The game of Survivor almost demands that you make big moves if you want to win. The key is picking the right moment… to make your move. For me, there are few greater moments than when something completely unexpected happens at tribal and changes the game. Beautiful."
Hey Jeff, will there be any more immunity idols this season, EW asked?
"Good question …," he says. "We do have a method to our madness and die hard fans have probably already figured it out. So without guaranteeing anything or relating specifically to this situation — I'd say it's a safe bet that an idol played at this point in the game will go back out."
Survivor 2013 Caramoan: Phillip's Exit Interview
This week on Survivor 2013 Caramoan we said goodbye to Phillip and his Stealths R Us "alliance" when he became the second member of the Season 26 jury.
And like all eliminated players, Phillip got cleaned up and sat down for an elimination interview the day after. And surprisingly, Phillip comes off way less crazy in his interview than he has the past couple weeks in the game.
I feel so blessed to be voted back as a fan favorite," Phillip said of his time in the Survivor 2013 game. "And to play with such a great group of fan favorites. I'm so happy that I got the opportunity to come back out here and play again."
So what did Phillip learn about Phillip?
"I learned that, Phillp, you can actually come into a game …" he said, "and have an impact. If Malcolm had not found that second Idol, I might still be in the game. I wouldn't change one single thing about the way I played."
Survivor 2013 Caramoan Episode 10 Recap: Best Tribal Council Ever
In what people are calling the BEST TRIBAL COUNCIL ever (and by people, I mean me), this week's Survivor 2013 Caramoan left not many people without their jaws on the floor. More on that later.
This week's episode picks up right after the last Tribal Council. Stealths R Us, which is everyone (beyond their control) except for Malcolm, Reynold and Eddie, excuse themselves to talk about the other three. And they're very obvious about it.
Phillip and company are talking about what they're going to do next to get one of those three out. And at this point, Cochran is the only one as embarrassed by Phillip's stupid alliance as I am.
The next day we get right into the Dawn insanity/breakdown. Everyone can hear her just throwing a complete crying fit. What we didn't know during all the previews was that Dawn had a partial denture that she lost in the water. And she is so self-conscious about it she threatens to pull herself from the game.
But Brenda goes scuba diving and finds her fake teeth. So crisis averted. Embarrassment, however, was not averted.
Survivor 2013 Caramoan: Episode 10 Results
Welcome back to Survivor 2013 with your host tonight, Drama Dawn. Things kick right off when we learn why Dawn threatened to quit the game. Her teeth. Dawn dropped her retainer in the water and lost it. Yep. They fixed that one quickly.
Let's get to the real game with tonight's Reward Challenge. Teams are split in to two sets of five. Orange team: Malcolm, Eddie, Sherri, Andrea, and Brenda. Purple: Reynold, Erik, Dawn, Cochran, and Phillip. They have to run along beams, down a slide, find a bag of balls under mud, then lastly through a rice pit. Once they get to the other side they have to toss them all in a basket to win.
Malcolm leads off and tries to find all the bags in the mud pit first but he takes forever. Purple has a strong lead in the race after Malcolm's delay and Sherri's slow progress on the beams. Purple is there and throwing the balls before Orange gets their fourth person to the end.

VVVVVV Review
February 10, 2010 - In VVVVVV you traverse single-screen, pitfall-laden rooms armed only with the ability to instantaneously switch gravity's pull from floor to ceiling, and vice-versa. A few games have used this mechanic in the past, perhaps most notably Metal Storm for the NES, but VVVVVV doesn't feature any combat, instead focusing on exploration and, to some extent, puzzle-solving.

We here focus on constructing a hierarchical neural system for position-invariant recognition, which is one of the most fundamental invariant recognition achieved in visual processing [1,2]. The invariant recognition have been hypothesized to be done by matching a sensory image of a particular object stimulated on the retina to the most suitable representation stored in memory of the higher visual cortical area. Here arises a general problem: In such a visual processing, the position of the object image on the retina must be initially uncertain. Furthermore, the retinal activities possessing sensory information are being far from the ones in the higher area with a loss of the sensory object information. Nevertheless, with such recognition ambiguity, the particular object can effortlessly and easily be recognized. Our aim in this work is an attempt to resolve such a general recognition problem.
A first resolution to the problem mentioned above is that we have to show information flow preservation of the object image in the input layer to the higher model layer even through some intermediate layers. This should be achieved even though some object information (here, positions of the object on the input) has been losing. For this, we employ marginalization of feature components over the corresponding positional region on each layer. The advantage of this marginalization is that the features extracted from an input image are being preserved to project through the higher intermediate layers to the model layer, keeping only necessary positional information of the input. The second problem about positional uncertainty should be resolved by establishing most appropriate projections of earlier layer to the next higher layer. To find the most appropriate projections, a similarity is measured between the model reference features and marginalized features for each layer. Then, taking a maximum operation of the similarity measures, the most appropriate projections are detected to establish a whole connection between the input and model layers, specifying the object position on the input image. Finally, employing a dynamic model of cortical columns [3], we propose a position-invariant object recognition system in a dynamic routing circuit, without any loss of concepts about the position-specific marginalized features mentioned above. Then, we will test and discuss the ability of our proposed system for recognition performance, specifying a correct position of a particular object. Figure 1.

Suggestions for sub shrub for acer griseum combination
j3nni4junip3rDecember 29, 2009
I bought an acer griseum on sale in November. It has a single leader and looks like a five foot pencil. Any ideas for sub shrubs that would enhance the color of the bark? Right now it looks more pink and white, but I guess it will eventually be orange.
Also does it matter if it gets morning or afternoon sun? I suspect that the cold will be a bigger issue than the summer sun.
Embothrium(USDA 8 Sunset 5 WA)
Bark damage more likely with eastern exposure. Gray or silvery foliage looks well with the trunk colors. Also purplish. So you could have gray junipers and/or ones that turn purplish in winter - if there is enough sun in the spot.

I love the work and effort, but I have a few questions.
1. Why is the Fox's tail a giant circle instead of a normal Fox tail?
2. What was that shadow lion-like thing called?
3. Are you ever gonna come back and make more of this amazing art?
The art is amzing as the story!
Too cute, If that fox were to ask me for my wallet, car keys, social security card, etc I would probably have to give them up!
very cute animation :) I give two paws up ;)
Wow, so much cuteness.
Awesome art and animation. Flawless.
I love the the colour palette you used here, which gives it a 60s cartoon kind of look.
I didn't expect those creepy story elements at first, but in the end it all made sense. Nice little script.
Audio is amazing too. Swinging and gloomy, light and dark. Goes excellently with the story.

The Postcard Age: Selections from the Leonard A. Lauder Collection
In the decades around 1900, postcards were Twitter, email, Flickr, and Facebook, all wrapped into one. A postcard craze swept the world, and billions of cards were bought, mailed, and pasted into albums. Many famous artists turned to the new medium, but one of the great pleasures and enigmas of postcards is how some of the most beautiful and interesting examples were made by artists whose names we barely know. Drawing on the riches of the Leonard A. Lauder Postcard Collection (probably the finest and most comprehensive collection of its type), this gorgeous book traces the historical and cultural themes—enthralling, exciting, and sometimes disturbing—of the modern age. The first general publication on the postcard as an artistic medium since the mid-1970s, The Postcard Age is organized thematically, with chapters devoted to urban life, the changing role of women, sports, celebrity, new technologies, the stylish collectors' cards of Art Nouveau, and World War I. The result is at once a vivid picture of the concerns and pastimes of the turn of the century and a sampler from Lauder's vast archives.
Leonard Lauder, like so many postcard collectors, fell in love in childhood with the distant times and places the cards evoke. But unlike most collectors, he had the wherewithal to assemble a great collection of them. In the process, he helped raise awareness of the cards above the dusty dingy hobbyist sales world. Today, we can see the cards as the Twitter or better Pinterest feed of their time and therefore an invaluable inexpensive time capsule of the world of the early 20th century.
The notes on the back of the cards are revealing, too: many are mundane appointment reminders or greetings—the e-mail of great cities with twice- or thrice-daily mail delivery in the years before universal telephony.
Leonard Lauder donated a selection of his cards, a group produced by the Wiener Werkstätte, to his brother Ronald Lauder's Neue Galerie in New York, devoted to Germanic art and design. The Leonard A. Lauder Postcard Collection is likely the world's best, and samples architecture, art, commerce, and the incidental surrealism of the medium.

text: personal property tax Utterly confused by Proposal 1? We've got answers By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Aug 4, 2014 Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio When you step into the voting booth tomorrow, one of the things you'll be looking at is Proposal 1. The proposal asks voters to approve a tax policy change, but the language is very confusing. Michigan Radio staff have been examining the proposal. Here's a brief summary of their reporting and analysis pieces, to answer questions you might still have before heading to the polls tomorrow. Mark Brush explained Proposal 1 and tackled these questions: What is the proposal all about? What's problematic with the language of the proposal? What do "yes" and "no" votes mean? What is "personal property tax"? How will it affect local business and communities? Who's in favor of a "yes"/"no" vote on the proposal? What will happen if the proposal wins/fails? Proposal 1: A solution born of suspicion By Rick Pluta • Aug 1, 2014 Jake Neher / MPRN Listen Listening... / 3:26 Listen to Rick Pluta's story Until recently, businesses in Michigan had to pay taxes on almost all their equipment. Not surprisingly, they didn't like this tax. The state Legislature has done its part to phase out the personal property tax, but the rest is up to voters when they decide the fate of Proposal 1 on Tuesday's ballot. Businesses pay the personal property tax on everything from the factory machines that build cars and trucks to playground equipment and changing tables. Meet Jerry Grubb, who owns the Wee Discover daycare center in Waterford. "Sixteen years we've had those tables and changing tables, and 16 years I've been paying personal property tax," he says. He says the same is true for computers, desks, and the high-powered dishwasher that keeps spoons, plates and baby bottles clean. "I pay tax when I buy it and I pay tax on it every year," he says. Grubb and other Michigan business owners say the personal property tax is not only unfair, and cumbersome to comply with, but it also discourages investment: buying new equipment and hiring more employees. Well, irritated business owners got their wish this year when the Legislature adopted a plan to phase out the personal property tax. Understanding Michigan's Proposal 1 By Stateside Staff • Jul 30, 2014 Listen Listening... / 14:22 The Michigan primary election is on Aug. 5, and one of the things you'll be looking at is Proposal 1. It asks voters to approve a tax policy change, but the proposal is very confusing. To help us clear this up a little, Bob Schneider joined us today. Schneider is with the Citizens Research Council of Michigan. The organization is a nonpartisan non-profit group that objectively analyzes policy issues like Proposal 1. *Listen to the full interview above. Proposal 1 asks Michigan voters to weigh in on a complex tax issue By Mark Brush • Jul 26, 2014 Michigan Citizens for Strong and Safe Communities / YouTube First, let's get a little griping out of the way. Just look what your Michigan Legislature is asking you to decipher when you step into the voting booth on August 5: There are many problems with this language. Voters will get their say on Michigan's Personal Property Tax August 5 By Steve Carmody • May 22, 2014 Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio Michigan voters will have a chance to drive the final nail into the coffin of the state's Personal Property tax this summer. The Board of State Canvassers today designated the PPT question as Proposal 1 on the August 5 ballot. It will be the only statewide question on the ballot. Businesses pay the tax based on the value of their equipment and other assets. Many Michigan communities rely on the tax revenues to pay for basic city services. This year's primary ballot will ask you about taxes By Stateside Staff • May 7, 2014 automotiveauto.info Listen Listening... / 10:16 The upcoming August primary ballot will feature something not usually seen on August primary ballots: a statewide ballot proposal, something we haven't seen in August since 2002. This ballot proposal will ask you to decide the fate of a reform of Michigan's industrial personal property tax, but there is a pretty significant hurdle that backers have to face: that icky little three-letter word – tax. Chris Gautz, reporter for Crain's Detroit Business, joined us to talk about all this. *Listen to our interview above. Lt. Gov. Calley signs personal property tax repeal compromise, now it heads to voters By Lindsey Smith • Apr 1, 2014 Lindsey Smith / Michigan Radio Voters will decide in August if businesses should get out of paying taxes on equipment each year. Michigan's personal property tax applies to all kinds of things: Carmakers pay the tax on heavy machinery, restaurants pay it on ovens and dishwashers. It doesn't matter if the equipment is new or old. The tax amounts to several hundred million dollars each year. The effort to repeal the personal property tax was bi-partisan. A previous version replaced only a portion of the lost revenue to local governments. Gov. Snyder signs bills so Michigan cities don't lose revenue By The Associated Press • Mar 29, 2014 Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Michigan Governor Rick Snyder has signed legislation designed to ensure local government budgets aren't hurt if manufacturers and small businesses get planned tax cuts. A phase-out of taxes on industrial machinery starts in 2016 and is underway for small businesses with equipment. The tax cuts will be halted if a statewide vote fails in August. Why this Michigan tax reform is getting bipartisan support By Stateside Staff • Feb 26, 2014 Lester Graham / Michigan Radio Listen Listening... / 9:13 An interview with Kathleen Gray and Jonathan Oosting. When Governor Snyder pushed through a repeal of the the personal property tax — aka the PPT — in late 2012, it was seen as a good step towards encouraging businesses to set up and expand in Michigan. But local governments took it right on the chin. As the PPT phased out, many were in line to lose a significant source of revenue. But there's good news for municipal officials worried about a great big hole in their budgets. A package of bills has been introduced in the State Senate that would plug that hole, without having to revert to anything like the PPT, which Governor Snyder called "the second-dumbest tax" in Michigan. And this package seems to have just about everyone on board, including both Democratic and Republican lawmakers. Here to tell us more is Kathleen Gray from the Detroit Free Press, and MLive's Jonathan Oosting. Listen to the full interview above. Bills would make sure local government budgets don't get slashed with tax repeal By Jake Neher • Feb 25, 2014 Jake Neher / MPRN Michigan lawmakers want to make sure local governments do not take a hit if voters decide to repeal an unpopular tax on business equipment. State officials are urging voters to repeal the tax. They say it is outdated and kills jobs. But local governments depend on that tax to provide basic services to residents. On Tuesday, lawmakers introduced bipartisan legislation that would fully compensate cities, towns, and counties if the tax is phased out. Today is the deadline for business owners to apply for a major state tax exemption By Lindsey Smith • Feb 10, 2014 A123 Systems Inc. / Facebook Michigan business owners have until the end of the day to file a form that could potentially save them lots of money on their 2014 tax bill. Michigan's personal property tax applies to all kinds of things. Carmakers pay the tax on heavy machinery; restaurants pay it on new ovens and dishwashers. But in order to qualify, business owners have to file a form with their local government. In this morning's Michigan news headlines. . . By Emily Fox • Dec 21, 2012 User: Brother O'Mara / flickr Michigan population increases for the first time in seven years Michigan gained population in 2012 for the first time in seven years, the Detroit News reports. 'This halts a decade of population losses, but population is still growing far slower than other states. U.S. Census Bureau estimates released Thursday show the state grew at just 0.1 percent, adding 6,559 residents to 9,883,360.' Snow dumps 14 inches in northern Michigan "A snowstorm hitting the Midwest has dumped more than 10 inches of snow in northern Michigan and knocked out power to at least 60,000 state electricity customers. The weather service says snowfall totals could reach 13 inches in northern Michigan and 14 inches in northern lower Michigan before the storm exits Michigan Friday," the Associated Press reports. Snyder signs personal property tax and mining legislation "Governor Rick Snyder has signed a plan to phase out the state's tax on business and industrial equipment. Manufacturers, in particular, say the tax discourages investment in Michigan. Snyder also approved an overhaul of how mining in Michigan is taxed. The new tax on mining production will replace a hodgepodge of taxes paid by mines," Rick Pluta reports. 'Concern' over the phase out of Michigan's Personal Property Tax By Steve Carmody • Dec 20, 2012 Steve Carmody/Michigan Radio Flint's Emergency Financial Manager says he's 'concerned' about ending Michigan's Personal Property tax. Governor Snyder signed the phase out of the tax on business equipment today. Flint relies on the tax for about 10% of its property tax revenues. Ed Kurtz is Flint's Emergency Financial Manager. He hopes the legislature will help cities replace the money they'll lose. Kurtz needs every dollar he can get to lift Flint from its multi-million dollar budget deficit. Governor signs phaseout on business and industrial equipment tax By Rick Pluta • Dec 20, 2012 A123 Systems Inc. / Facebook Governor Rick Snyder has signed a plan to phase out the state's tax on business and industrial equipment. Manufacturers, in particular, say the tax discourages investment in Michigan. Charlie Pryde is a lobbyist for Ford. "We believe the reform package the governor is signing today will make Michigan more competitive for manufacturing and Ford Motor Company more competitive in the intensely competitive automotive manufacturing marketplace," Pryde said. Lawmakers find compromise, pass repeal of personal property tax By Lindsey Smith • Dec 14, 2012 Legislation that will eliminate several hundred million dollars in taxes that businesses pay each year on equipment awaits Governor Rick Snyder's signature. Michigan's personal property tax applies to all kinds of things; car makers pay the tax on heavy machinery, restaurants pay it on new ovens and dishwashers. The legislature voted early Friday morning to repeal the personal property tax and replace up to 80-percent of the lost revenue to local governments where the loss makes up more than 2.3-percent of the total tax revenue. State Senate approves a plan to phase out tax on industrial and business equipment By Jake Neher • Dec 14, 2012 Joel Dinda / flickr The state's tax on industrial and business equipment is a step closer to being phased out. State lawmakers Thursday sent the measure to Governor Rick Snyder's desk. The personal property tax repeal was one of Governor Snyder and Republican state leaders' top priorities for the lame duck session. They say it discourages investment in the state and kills jobs. Supporters of the plan say it will reimburse local communities for most or all of the revenue they would lose for services like schools, police, and fire. Ari Adler is a spokesperson for state House Speaker Jase Bolger (R-Marshall). "Many communities rely on the revenue that comes from this tax, and we did not want to leave them in a lurch," Adler said. Opponents like state Rep. Vicki Barnett (D-Farmington Hills) say the bills do not do enough to make up for those losses. "It's clear locals are going to lose money. Schools are going to lose money. The question is, just how much? And it could be anywhere from $250 million to – what I believe, when fully implemented – closer to $800 million, if there's no replacement," Barnett said. Michigan voters will be asked to approve the reimbursement plan in August of 2014. If it's rejected, the state will stop phasing out the tax. In this morning's lame duck headlines. . . By Emily Fox • Dec 14, 2012 User: Brother O'Mara / flickr Many bills made moves yesterday at the state capitol. Here are some of the bills that are now headed to Governor Rick Snyder's desk: Abortion bills Governor Rick Snyder will have the final say on a measure to add restrictions for abortion providers. State lawmakers approved the legislation yesterday. Among other things, it requires physicians to screen women to make sure they're not being forced or coerced to have an abortion. Bill to phase out personal property tax State lawmakers have approved a plan to phase out Michigan's tax on industrial and business equipment. Local governments rely heavily on the tax to provide services. The bill is headed to Governor Snyder's desk. The measure would also make up for 80-percent of funding for non-essential services. Emergency manager bill The Michigan Legislature has sent Governor Rick Snyder a new local government emergency manager bill -- five weeks after voters rejected their last effort. The new law will give local governments in financial trouble some options. They can negotiate an agreement with the state, accept an emergency manager, or go a federal bankruptcy court. Personal Property Tax phase out being rushed through state Legislature By Lester Graham • Dec 4, 2012 Michigan Municipal League A plan to phase out Michigan's Personal Property Tax—the tax on business equipment—is being rushed through the Michigan Legislature. There are unanswered questions and not much time to get answers. Businesses want to end the tax on equipment. The problem is many local governments rely heavily on that tax. When a proposal was announced last week, it appeared phasing out the tax over ten years and a statewide vote to replace it with the state's current use-tax revenue might work to replace the local governments' lost revenues. In this morning's Michigan news headlines. . . By Emily Fox • Nov 28, 2012 User: Brother O'Mara / flickr Snyder wants to phase out property tax Governor Rick Snyder and Lieutenant Governor Brian Calley want the Legislature to enact a major tax overhaul before the end of the year. It would phase out Michigan's tax on business and industrial equipment. As the Detroit Free Press reports, "The state's plan is to get rid of the tax on business equipment, furniture and supplies that brought in more than $1.2 billion in 2010, the most recent figures available, over the next 10 years. . . The phase out of the tax would begin in 2014 for small businesses and in 2016 for larger manufacturers. There would be no reimbursement to communities where personal property tax revenues are less than 2.5% of their total taxable value." Southeast Michigan transit authority passes in Senate Legislation to create a regional transit authority for southeast Michigan won approval from the state Senate Tuesday. As the Detroit Free Press reports, "The goal, backed strongly by Gov. Rick Snyder and Detroit Mayor Dave Bing, is a network of speedy, modern buses operated independently of Detroit Department of Transportation and the Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transit. The plan is to give the transit authority the power to coordinate routes between the rapid-transit system and the existing city and suburban bus lines to eliminate duplication of routes. DDOT and SMART would instead feed into the faster bus lines, freeing up both to provide better, more efficient local service." Ex-aids to former Detroit Congressman enter pleas in petition fraud "A former top aide to a Detroit-area congressman has pleaded no contest to forgery in an election scandal involving bogus petition signatures. Don Yowchuang was deputy district director to then-U.S. Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, a Republican from Livonia. Yowchuang admits making copies of petition signatures to try to qualify McCotter for the August primary election. Separately, McCotter former district director Paul Seewald pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor, falsely signing a nominating petition as a circulator. McCotter didn't make the ballot and quit Congress in July," the AP reports. In this morning's Michigan news headlines... By Mark Brush • Nov 27, 2012 User: Brother O'Mara / flickr Detroit deadlock continues Detroit needs cash if it's going to make payroll in December. $30 million waits from the state. But Mayor Bing and the Detroit City Council are locked in a battle over a law firm contract. A special council meeting was supposed to be held yesterday to resolve the problem, but the the city's legal department canceled the meeting. Even it the meeting had been held, Matt Helms of the Detroit Free Press reports, Bing would not have had the votes to end the deadlock. Had a vote been taken, it likely would not have gone Bing's way. The sole council member to vote to approve it, President Pro Tem Gary Brown, said Monday that the Bing administration "doesn't have the votes" to reverse course. And the city's financial crisis looms. Legislature aims to cut a source of revenue for some cities There have been a lot of proposals floated in this lame-duck session of the Michigan legislature, but one plan the Gov. hopes to pass by the end of the year is a phase out of the "personal property tax." That's a tax that many manufacturers pay to local governments on equipment they own. Local governments that have a big manufacturing base have said eliminating the tax would hurt their bottom line. MLive's Dave Eggert reports Lt. Gov. Brian Calley plans to unveil a new plan to cut the tax today: Sources who have been briefed on the proposal said key changes include partially replacing the revenue with a portion of the state's tax on out-of-state retail transactions and allowing local governments to assess a special tax to recoup money for police, fire and ambulance services. Troy breaks ground on new transit center The city of Troy is breaking ground on a new transit center today. The project was opposed by Troy's recently recalled Mayor, Janice Daniels, because the funding for the project is comging from the federal government. The transit center will cost $6.3 million to build and will house facilities for bus, train, and car rental services. The transit center will replace Birmingham's Amtrak stop. It's expected to open the summer of 2013. Pages1 2 next › last »

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Hostage Mellissa Fung's memoir engrossing
Under an Afghan Sky
A Memoir of Captivity
By Mellissa Fung
HarperCollins, 358 pages, $33
UNDER an Afghan Sky may strike readers as an odd title for this otherwise engrossing memoir, since Mellissa Fung spent 28 days in a hole in the ground, tunnelled out under a house a few miles from Kabul, and shut out from the world around her.
Fung, a correspondent for CBC-TV News, was kidnapped by the supposed Taliban in 2008 during her second posting in Afghanistan.
Her time in confinement bears some similarity to that of fellow Canadian James Loney, whose book Captivity was recently reviewed in these pages.
Snatched from a refugee camp where she was covering the plight of those displaced by the war, Fung was stabbed in the shoulder and hand, spirited away by car then motorcycle, and dumped in an underground hole. Her captors weren't the real Taliban, however, but a ragtag group of thugs who abduct foreigners for profit.
In fact, it was a family operation of opportunistic criminals who themselves feared the Taliban. And at least one of them had serious misgivings about their work.
Her time in captivity was confusing, terrifying, frustrating and tedious. Her kidnappers took turns guarding her in the underground prison, repeatedly promising her release "in two days, inshallah," feeding her mostly sugary cookies and juice, and -- at times -- threatening to kill her.
What makes this book so affecting, however, is not any Hollywood-style drama or tension, but a rather unexpected and touching relationship she builds with one of her abductors, "Khalid," who calls her "my sister" and pledges not to kill her.
Khalid tells her that he is sorry she was kidnapped and asks if she hates him. They share stories of their personal lives, and Khalid reveals his deep love for his fiancé, who -- though she never meets Fung -- makes her french fries.
During her ordeal, Fung (who is in her late 30s) makes other connections with her guards. Ever the journalist, she constantly asks them questions and pushes for details about why they do this. One captor teaches her Pashto, and the two of them sing to each other; he from the Qur'an, and Fung from her memory of hymns learned from her Catholic upbringing in Vancouver.
An incongruous scene is set as, to the delight of her devoutly pious abductor, Fung belts out the American national anthem and songs praising a Christian god.
But it's not all sweetness and light. Her captors regularly criticize her for not being a Muslim, and frustrate her with repeated mantras about the evils of the United States and NATO, and praise for Mullah Omar and Osama bin Laden. She was assaulted, abused physically, mentally and emotionally, and constantly grappled with the fear that she would be killed.
Apart from her often-frustrating exchanges with her captors, Fung found other ways to communicate: she called on her somewhat lapsed Christian beliefs in prayer and wrote letters to family and friends, and her boyfriend Paul Workman, a fellow CBC reporter.
His letters to her, written during her captivity, are reprinted here as well, revealing a love story of sorts.
Finding herself angry with God, she nonetheless resolves that it "would not be a good time to doubt the existence of God." And she finds odd occasions of beauty in a period of fear and misery.
In a scene that reveals the meaning of the title of her book, Fung gives thanks for a moment that "will stay with me forever." It's an uplifting experience that speaks to her strength of character and her feelings of hope.
The head of political studies at the University of Manitoba, George A. MacLean spent time with Canadian troops when they were stationed in Kabul, Afghanistan.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Questions Before The Season Starts
by Paul on 01/19/13 at 10:37 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Tim Wharnsby of CBC,
Who will make the playoffs? Who will be the last team standing in late June? But there will be other underlying interesting matters to follow.
Can the Detroit Red Wings continue their consecutive season playoff streak without Nicklas Lidstrom?
It's at 21 and counting. The Montreal Canadiens had made the playoffs 24 straight times entering the last shortened season in 1995. But that streak went kaput with an 11th-place finish in the East.
Will this be the swan song seasons for Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson and Anaheim Ducks forever-young forward Teemu Selanne?
The 40-year-old Alfredsson and the 42-year-old Selanne both topped the 25-goal mark last season and may keep going if they can stay healthy. We'll also see how the extra four months off will help their games.
Can a Canadian NHL team win the Stanley Cup?
