Great list of happy things and beautiful photos! You made me laugh with the gouda and strawberries.
Thank you, Germany, you promise land of Chinese people, birthplace of Karl Marx. Marx is my god and communism is only true religion! CCP is opium of the Masses! Problem that you think CCP is you god. I go back to Marx direct for my religion. I do'nt axcept Reformation Marxism that has CCP gangster in my life everywhere. CCP is heresy on Marx. CCP is twisted Russianism that Mao suckled from Stalin. Xiāngbalǎo Communist people will restore Marx Thought like in his holy book. Xiāngbalǎo Communist restore original socialism, remove city boy dictator from the party, power to the proletariat. Peoples Republic for the People, not CCP. Why you still have Houkou? You try to control us Xiāngbalǎo Communist like South Africa apartheid! You try keep us in Bantustan, but you want our worker labor and peasant food supply to city. But can we get educate? No! You city boy hold us down. You bring on 18th Brumaire of Xi Jinping!
When I needed a chimney sweep twelve years ago it was difficult to find one in my area (northern California). Having one which clearly serves your area has some benefits ...
That doesnt surprise me at all. Most American homes have closed off their chimney inside the home and the chimney on top is just for decoration. You could probably call a heating and a/c tech to come out and do it though.
In fact German chimney-sweepers are not only heading to sweep chimneys but their job is more meant to measure emissions (NOx, CO and exhaust T) from the stoves. Annual costs for a house of four apartments is about 130.- Euro. So for the 40 milions apartments in Germany, the total market is less than 2 billion Euros/year, a peannut as compared to largely regulated, but better lobbied protected markets for pharmaceutics, (optics are not really reglated), dental services and their back door providers, medical and law services totalling a market of more than 300 billion Euros per year. So after all this kind of deregulation is not really an achievement, but pull the wool over the consumer's eye.
Some commenters mentioned other regulated professions in Germany like pharmacists, opticians, dentists, lawyers or physicians (doctors).
Pharmacists, dentists, lawyers or physicians (doctors) are highly regulated professions in the US as well. The difference is, we have many more incorporated chains of firms that deal in those fields than Germany has. Customers in the pharmaceutical sector would probably benefit from retail chains (e.g., Walgreen in the US), as seen in optician retail (Fielmann, Apollo) already in Germany.
However, the bigger part of pharmacy customers in Germany buys drugs "on prescription" anyway, whereby he/she isn't concerned with the price (the statutory German health insurance companies negotiate those prices for their members).
In the fields of dentists, lawyers or physicians, incorporated chains don't contribute to more price competition, rather the opposite is true. They often build mutually agreed-on regional monopolies, thus being able to 'milk' customers almost unlimited, as every American patient knows who ever got caught in their clutches.
Big law-firm chains in the US usually don't take 'petty cases', a luxury which the high competition of individual law firms in Germany (constituted singly under German civil law) doesn't allow.
And the world is finally free from the evil chimney-sweeping monopolies. Why not? It's probably still easier to go after whatever remnants of collusion they can find in Germany then fixing the blatant embodiment of corruption that is Greece.
And 40% of the sweeps have to be women... I'm sure it was accident on your part that you failed to mention that detail... It would be libelous to insinuate a Brussel's wonk would not insist on gender equity... If women must comprise 40% of directorial positions worth $200,000 a year, they must surely be capable of filling a chimney sweep's role, worth $20,000
And then you wonder why some of us regard Feminists as a joke
I am astonished to learn that the Germans and the Swiss are so far behind in solving a simple task of sweeping their chimneys. I cannot believe that no German bright mind has yet invented a computer-programmable, remote-controlled chimney-sweeping robot that would do the sweeping job in a minute and could cover all chimneys in all towns on the territory of, say, Bavaria in less than FOUR weeks. Just think of potential profits of selling such computer-controlled robots to the Brits with their multiple fireplaces in each house, not to forget the potential in Russia, China, India, etc. I am ready to apply for an exclusive license to market and service chimney-sweeping remote-controlled robots all over EaSTERN EUROPE ! NO COMPETITION !
Before this will happen "the Germans and the Swiss" will invent a remote-controlled automatic hair cutting machine. Just think of potential profits of selling such automatic hair cutting robots to the Brits with their 'thick' heads in every British household, not to forget the potential in Russia, China, India, etc. Applying for an exclusive license to market and service remote-controlled automatic hair cutting robots all over EaSTERN EUROPE would be even more profitable for you. The 'thick' head market is never ending. AND NO COMPETITION FROM THE THICK HEADS!
"Just think of potential profits of selling such automatic hair cutting robots to the Brits with their 'thick' heads in every British household".
Well, La Virity, if the enclosed link is anything to go by, Britain has every chance of inventing a hair cutting machine before the GERMANZ.
Google: "SJR Sclmago Journal and Country Rank". Then click on 'Country Rankings'. I suggest you consult all the different fields of science and research, bearing in mind that Britain has 75% of Germany's population.
To Britain the inventiveness, to Germany the economic efficiency.
And a happy Christmas to you!
@ Junoir:
"To Britain the inventiveness, to Germany the economic efficiency."
What year are you talking about? 1812? It can't be 2012, that's for sure.
International patents listed, total and global share, 2011:
Germany: 18,600 -- 10.2 %
SOURCE: Google "International Patent Filings Set New Record in 2011"
Merry Christmas from an entirely occassional(I'd even say: random) guest. LOL
One good way to measure 'inventiveness' is by counting the granted patents.
I.e., in 2008 (the latest year covered by the European Patent Office) the No. of Patents granted was 53,752 for Germany and 12,162 for the United Kingdom. BTW, the UK had less patents granted than countries like France (25,535), Russia (22,870) and Italy (12,789).
Happy Christmas to you too =:) - Hope to meet you here again in 2013 ... in good health.
Well patents are one criterion, publishing is another. Try "The top twenty countries for scientific output". You'll find that Germany and England (for some reason Scotland has its own statistics) are pretty equal. Nobel prizes could be another. Here you'll find Britain still very much holding her own, even today.
My original point was that Britain's scientific achievements over the past 250 years, from the first agricultural machinery in the 18th Century to Tim Berners Lee's world wide web, have been every bit as great as Germany's.
So I think you'll find more of a market for your haircutting machine in Russia and the Ukraine. After all, let's face it, isn't that where Germany's long-term economic future lies?
So Britain has as much chance of inventing that hair cutting machine as
I share your thoughts ... my 'haircut-machine-post' was a response to a similar post. It was meant jokingly, of course. It's more fun to tease the strong than the weak.
On that note - Merry Christmas again.
BTW What do you think of sickels' posting at the top of the 'Holy Roman Empire' , ('European Disunion done right') thread?
If you could reply to him, I'd be glad to see what you have to say.
"Russia and the Ukraine. After all, let's face it, isn't that where Germany's long-term economic future lies?"
For sure.
Putin has talked about creating an Eurasian union.
I am sure Germany will fit in very well within this union. After all Germany has more in common with Russia than with the west - centuries of authoritarian rule, dysfunctional history & a cult of victimhood.
Emma, while you are at it: Don't forget to bring up your LIE that most of Germany's import is Russian Gas.
And don't forget the other one you frequently come up with: Germany gets half of his energy from Russia.
Unfortunately the article misses the most important point: the sweeps control and decide about any technical changes that you might want to do to your chimney, or related to it. That can be a real hassle if your sweep is a jerk: he will only let you install your fireplace in your home after a couple of controls, and he will let you execute the installation according to HIS technical taste - on YOUR budget. My architect was really afraid of them - it is almost impossible to go against their decision, as arbitrary it may be, and you are not allowed to get permission from a sweep from a different district - you remain stuck with that jerk until his retirement. Not to forget that the monopoly was installed for political reasons in the dark period of German history. Strong power was given to the sweeps, among it the right to visit your home without permission at any time. This was for reasons of "security"....and the sweeps were chosen as a function of their political opinion. It is a shame that in Germany we need the EU to get rid of this vestige! Thank you EU! I hope the control of technical security will be transferred to a different body at the same time!
This is sad. From the article it appears that this particular profession works better under the current monopoly than under market conditions: Sweep services are readily available (partition of districts by government), quality is good (mandatory training) and prices seem to be quite low.
If liberalisation does not bring about improvement in either of those factors (according to the article, sweeping could even become more expensive as a result of liberalisation, without quality or availability being any better) why would you want it?
No market works better under a monopoly. As the article says, the (low) prices are set by the Länder. Competition should make the sweeps more efficient, but at €20,000/year, it doesn't seem like the most appealing profession to begin with.
Chimney sweeps. Still counting on their luck. The Barrosoist's are at it again. German has a respectable tradition of for example "Chimney sweeps" with a uniform of their trade like the "Bert" from "Mary Poppins". In addition they have traditional crafts men who from there Guilds who go out for one year alone to face the world as part of their apprenticeship; I think you say "Hamburger Zimmermen" with a strange hat, dark tightly fitting cloths of practical nature. I employed many, they refused money just a bed and meals and they move on. The EU "Burocrates" with their nearly 8% salary increases are killing European transition. It's sad. I think you say "Fat Cats" .
"The EU "Burocrates" with their nearly 8% salary increases are killing European transition. It's sad."
It is really sad that you apparently have not read the article at all.
How is it going to kill tradition? By allowing slightly more competition?
Also, kudos for dropping the famous evil "fat cat EU Bureaucrat" - could you not have thrown in some "socialist" and "totalitarian" in there, just to tick every box of the simple minded?
Tradition isn't being killed.
I'm sure that many consumers enjoy the fancy dress & rapport building stuff. In which case they'll happily pay a premium for it.
But it should be up to consumers to choose. And chimney sweeps deserve to have more freedom in their careers, without being tied to particular districts or having to jump through tons of arbitrary bureaucratic hoops.
Thank your politicians (in this rare case) for giving you a little bit more freedom - for cherishing the traditions you love, but also for pursuing life opportunities.
Well I suppose seeing as they have failed to deregulate powerful cartels like pharmacists, doctors and lawyers, they are going after the weak and inoffensive ones like sweeps.
Nah - this is just the warm up.
Chimney sweep cartels have to go.
Having pushed that through in an economic climate where people accept liberalising reform as necessary, we are in a stronger political position to liberalise pharmacies (e.g. let online retailers sell medications to anybody with a prescription - kill pharmacies altogether, and raise productivity); liberalise dentists (you don't need 7 years of higher education to inspect teeth & administer fillings. A dental technician should be allowed to pre-screen teeth, clean mouths & do fillings, while highly educated dentists can do advanced diagnostics or real dental surgery), etc.
Once people have accepted shutting down of poor chimney sweep cartels, they will have no sympathy when the rich old professional cartels start screaming.
It's coming - either piecemeal at the national level, or wholesale coordinated through the European Commission (which is a good way for national politicians to overcome local lobbies, and deflect the political blame).
I don't think Germans would ever accept "liberalising" pharmacists, dentists, lawyers or - least of all - doctors. The "Staatsexamen" (state examination) all of these professions have to take upon completion of their studies at university was introduced to ensure that these very delicate professions wouldn't be taken up by quacks - as was often the case before the Staatsexamen was introduced.
Germans are highly bent on safety and very fond of academic education and regulating everything. All of these traits ensure that there would never be a political majority for abolishing the current regulations for the professions Lumbubashi mentioned.
And, I must say, I am quite happy with that, because I think the health sector is not just another sector of the economy (it cannot work like a free market economy because "consumers" (=patients) cannot freely determine their demand (=what kind of disease they have and hence what kind of treatment they require).
As a German Lawyer, I must add that (unfortunately for myself)there is no lawyer cartel in Germany at all, i.e. there are no limited licenses or the like for attorneys.
Everybody who passes the exam can become a lawyer and excercise his or her profession freely inside the entire EU.
"Freely inside the EU". Really? I am sure you are familiar with the terms "De jure" and "de facto"?
Yes, freely.
Though courtwork in other countries might require supervision by a local attorney -unless you are qualified in the local law as well, of course.
Interesting article, but unlucky that it fails to mention the cultural role of the German "Schornsteinfeger", e.g. the popular belief that they bring good luck (the fact that many still wear a very traditional costume is also only barely mentioned).
In addition, with the new law in effect, the required training standard of the Sweeps is reduced, something their association also widely complained about.
To be fair, it probably doesn't take a 2 year apprenticeship to learn:
1) how to climb safely on to different roof types
2) how to use standard equipment to clean different chimney types
3) how to use standard instruments to take carbon monoxide measurements and
4) how to behave with customers, but on a friendly & entertaining show, how to market well, win customers & retain customers
5) how to manage the finances & scheduling
6) any other little things that aren't immediately obvious to outsiders
Actually, if small businesses or online services would take care of (5) and a little bit of (4), I'm sure that you could train up a competent chimney sweep in 4 or 5 weeks of full time work (though obviously, it would take much longer to build a strong rapport with customers).
I understand that existing chimney sweeps don't want this to be too easy - they don't want unemployed people training up to be chimney sweeps & working for €10 a job. Taking a broader perspective though, many current sweeps are probably capable of finding moderately well paid and more productive work elsewhere. If we can get the chimney sweeping done by unskilled & hard-to-employ workers at low cost while freeing articulate, competent & more skilled workers to do more productive work elsewhere, then we achieve both higher income levels and lower unemployment.
It's great that required training standards have been somewhat liberalised - have they moved away from specifying training duration, and shifted instead to the objectives (assessed competence in actually doing the job & taking correct measurements, so as not to kill inhabitants with house fires or gas poisoning)?
A good training is not bad because the chimney sweeper has to make decisions for which he/she is responsible or ad least to give advise if the house owner changes the heating system and has to change the chimney.
The second aspect is that chimney sweepers have to measure exhaust and have to give advice how to tune the heating system and many do as second leg some kind of "Energieberatung" (advice on increasing the efficiency of the heating system), all this requires know-how you do not get in 5 weeks training on the job.
I agree that a chimney sweep should be competent in all the areas you mention.
But for somebody who's literate and had a basic high school education, I really can't see why it would take more than 5 weeks of coaching & practice to learn.
200 hours is a long time - this isn't training of a musician or an elite athlete. There is a well defined (& small) knowledge base that has to be acquired, plus some practice explaining it to others; and then some practice doing the job. 5 weeks is plenty of time (and the only reason this hasn't been legally possible, is to make it hard for unemployed people to enter the trade).
sorry but you don't understand what you are talking about.
The Schornsteinfeger is responsible to prevent fire in houses by looking up stuff which could produce a fire.
He is not that chimney guy from Mary Poppins. That si a highly qualified job today, othing to be learned in 5 weeks,
Why do you believe Germany is so good at producing real stuff, becuase we train our people for real.
Darion X
Don't be so uncritical in accepting the popular narrative.
Low productivity is a problem in countless industries in every country. "Qualified" is not the same as "competent". Time spent studying & training does not mean quality of learning & genuine skill acquisition.
Inspecting pipes, taking CO measurements, looking for fire hazards, etc are not hard things to do. People need to be very well trained and competent - and they need to take responsibilities seriously. I just don't see why a good training & coaching programme would need more than 5 weeks (maybe some providers do - but we don't need laws to enforce arbitrary time thresholds).
The thumpnail for this article reads "EU Bureaucrats are about to free another internal market".
I wonder, what is "bureaucratic" about freeing a market and slashing (unneeded) national red-tape legislation?
Also, who inside the EU was mainly responsible for this legal act: The Council of Ministers(i.e. national governments), The Eurpoean Parliamant (i.e. elected representatives) or the EU Commission? Because only the last would fit the description of "EU Bureaucrat" somewhat.
Why do I ask this? For me, this all shows that we have entered a stage where even a harmless report in the UK press about (apparently) sensible EU action cant live without at least a tiny bit of catering to the existing sterotypes about the EU, even in a publication as the highly respectable Economist.
How did it come to this?
The Economist is generally a liberal & pro-free-market magazine. Readers might expect it to support the removal of arbitrary red tape.
This is a nice article in its friendly & on-the-ground reporting style, but it is entirely out of touch with the broader spirit of achieving greater entrepreneurial freedom, and further integrating the single market (which is what the British want most from the EU).
This is absolutely not a "law from Brussels". Rather, it's the result of negotiation by all member state governments, open online consultation in which anyone can participate, besides also clearing the European Parliament who's members we also vote on. The law didn't come from Brussels - it came from us, and we are all over Europe.
It's a shame that the Economist has sank into reproducing the sensationalist and factually inaccurate narrative & rhetoric promulgated by our trash media.
The last paragraph, contrary to intention, actually makes this sound like a vastly more interesting market - ripe for competitive disruption.
The actual sweeping takes mere minutes (say, 12 minutes?) and present unit prices are €25 with potential to rise? Ok, that sounds modestly lucrative.
At present, the greatest challenges (and greatest cost) is logistics and coordinating times with customers? Well, what about online/ mobile phone based scheduling (where precise times can be quickly, efficiently & precisely agreed on, where schedules can be filled far more completely), with short term notification, with requests for customers to notify if they have to delay the appointment, and perhaps with a deposit structure so that consumers lose cash if they waste time - just so that sweeps can be more productive...
Depending on how ready consumers are to adopt new retail methods, there is certainly potential for much higher productivity and much higher earnings for sweeps (though this would reduce number of jobs in chimney sweepings - labour dislocations come with all productivity improvements).
Certainly an opportunity for profit starting January 2013... does anybody want to get on board with a European chimney sweeping empire? :p
They can't set prices so I doubt they will be allowed to accept non-refundable deposits. It's not exactly a free market.
But from January 1st they will have freedom to set their own prices. They will also acquire freedom to innovate: charging higher prices only for their richer & more loyal customers, or using deposit structures to increase their productivity.
Chimney sweeps will probably be able to earn higher incomes; but there will also be pressure for ever more to leave the job, as productivity of the more successful sweeps rises, and as they win market share from the less productive sweeps.

Rangers look to gain ground vs. A's in Oakland
Ogando heads to the hill for Texas; Milone starts for Athletics
The second-place Rangers went more than a month without gaining ground on the American League West-leading A's. But with four consecutive wins, Texas now has cut into Oakland's advantage for three straight days.
The Rangers have a chance to creep closer to the A's this weekend, as the division rivals open a three-game series on Friday at O.co Coliseum.
The A's have won seven of their last 11 games, while the Rangers are riding consecutive victories for the first time in more than three weeks. Their win over the D-backs in Thursday's makeup game drew them to within 3 1/2 games of the idle A's.
"It's important because they're in first place," Rangers manager Ron Washington said of the upcoming series, one of three remaining on the teams' schedules. "It's not do or die. If we go out there and play our game, we'll take care of business."
While the Rangers were unable to get a bat to go along with recently acquired right-hander Matt Garza before Wednesday's non-waiver Trade Deadline, the A's added infielder Alberto Callaspo on Tuesday from the Angels. Although Callaspo isn't a game-changer, the 30-year-old fits in Oakland's lineup nicely as a platoon mate with Eric Sogard at second base.
Callaspo played third base in Anaheim, but the A's have no worries about Callaspo defensively at second.
"Because that's his natural position, that's where he started out," A's manager Bob Melvin said about why he feels confident with Callaspo at second. "Now there is some uncertainty, obviously, because he hasn't played there a couple years, but he's always been a sure-handed defender. My talk with him this morning was that it doesn't matter where we play him."
The Rangers begin this key weekend series with right-hander Alexi Ogando making his third start since returning from the disabled list. Ogando missed six weeks with shoulder inflammation but said his arm feels strong -- though he's yet to pitch more than five innings since coming back.
Ogando will be opposed by left-hander Tommy Milone, who tossed seven innings of one-run ball and struck out six in his last start against the Angels. Milone owns a 2.97 ERA in his nine home starts, compared with 5.00 in 12 road outings.
Rangers: Walk it off
Before Monday, the Rangers hadn't experienced a walk-off home run in more than a year. They then proceeded to launch walk-off blasts on three consecutive days, becoming the fifth team to accomplish that feat in Major League history. Geovany Soto played the hero Monday, Leonys Martin following suit Tuesday, and Adrian Beltre capped the run on Wednesday.
The only other team to pull that off while sweeping a three-game series was the 1999 D-backs.
• Shortstop Elvis Andrus owns the longest active hitting streak in the Majors at 14 games, although only three of those have been multi-hit efforts. Andrus is 17-for-51 (.333) with four doubles and seven walks during the streak.
A's: Reddick held out Wednesday
Outfielder Josh Reddick was held out of the A's lineup Wednesday after taking a knee to the right side of his head in a three-player collision the night before.
"He came in today with a little bit of a headache, and that's why I scratched him," Melvin said. "We don't feel it's concussion symptoms, but anytime someone comes in with a headache after being hit on the head, you want to be careful with that."
• The A's have posted eight consecutive winning months dating back to last June.
Worth noting
• Oakland's Jed Lowrie is hitting .414 with six RBIs through the first seven games of the club's 10-game homestand.
• The Rangers' Tuesday night extra-inning victory was only the club's second of the season. They are 2-7 in such contests.

The refurbished computer was very good, however, the charger system failed almost immediately and a replacement required purchase to put the computer to use.
the only thing I am not happy with, is the battery isn't keeping it's charge, so I am getting a message that I should replace battery soon, I just assume under your refurbished . The battery would have been tested.
This PC is a great quality for the price. The monitor is a little loose that I'll have to keep an eye on. I'd buy another one and have recommended this to other family members.
I ordered my computer from Overstock two weeks ago and I received it this week. I cannot say enough about my refurbished Laptop, It is perfect. My old computer was very slow, it took forever to do anything, my refurbished Dell Latitute is very quick. The keyboard is great, love the feel. There are no defects that I can see, it looks brand new. I had no probem getting the computer started myself and I am not a techie. I would recommend this product very hightly, as a matter of fact I already did recommend it. Thank you so much, Overstock .com.
Everything seems to be great! It's going to be a Christmas Present. It appears to run great and for the price I got the computer for was well worth the money. However; I'm not sure if I exactly understand refurbished? As, I thought it would not be visibly used..... and it has one key that is worn and it had a couple of dirty spots on it....
Hard drive failed in 4 months. When I tried file a warranty claim, I was told that is was still under warranty with Dell. When I called Dell, they said it was no longer under warranty. When I called Overstock back, the first time they said they would look into it and call me back which they never did. When I called again, they argued with me that it could not be true and then put me on eternal hold. It took the third time calling back to get any help. Still waiting for resolution
Just great product . Looks like brand new . Great price . The only complain is that is little heavy . Rest is great ! Highly recommended !
The only thing is that I have to purchase a battery but other than that love the laptop. I would recommend to any of my family and friends.
This is a good computer. Before purchasing it and which I have not received yet. I researched and wanted one upgradable to 8GB it is really easy to install memory cards. However after purchasing I researched further and found this computer CAN NOT take 8GB of memory as stated in the question and answer. The model can but you have to swap out the operating system to do so. The most this will take with a 32 bit OS is 4GB. So if you are looking for a gaming computer or need more memory you are better off spending more and getting it already installed. This is because if you buy a warranty if you work on it then the warranty will probably not cover it. Right now I have two Dell's and one is an old xp insperion that rocks! It was purchased in 2006 has great speakers but has been repaired a few times. It has some issues though. I also got a refurbished Dell and have to say this is the upper mid-range brand to get unless something has changed. I have had other brands and they all had issues from the start. I do not recommend buying a cheaper brand because they tend to have more problems but if you want to spend more there might be other better brand.
Computer had a problem with the cable which should have been taken care of when refurbished. Integrated mouse key was also broken. Speed was extremely slow. Not worth it even for a spare laptop. Item was returned. Overstock was great about it as usual.

Pssssst Professional Dry Shampoo
GabbyUnited StatesHairDark BrownFine or Thin HairThick or Coarse HairIt WorksAt first I wasn't sure how it would go with my hair but then i used it and it smelt good. it really does work. My only problem is that it gave me a slight headache after but it went away shortly.posted Jun 29, 2013Link to this post
RachelHairDark BrownOily HairThick or Coarse HairAbsolutely Love This Stuff.This is by far my favorite dry shampoo, and I've tried a lot for sure. It works especially well when you put some on the night before AND the next morning. I even have dark hair, and as long as I rub it in, there's no problem with white-ness showing. I had no idea how to use dry shampoo, so for those who want to know, this is how I do it. I usually make a loose part right in the middle of my head and spray along it. Then I make a part a few inches to the right and do the same thing. I continue doing this along the right side of my head, and then I switch to the left side of my head. I let it sit for a couple minutes, then I run my fingers through my hair and rub my scalp to distribute it. Still shiny? Use some more. You really can't use too much. Basically, I love this stuff. :)posted Mar 29, 2013Link to this post

County amends transient vendor ordinance
Joshua SeboldStaff Writer7/14/2010The Plumas County Board of Supervisors approved the first reading of an ordinance to amend the county code in areas relating to itinerant vendors at a Tuesday, July 6, meeting.
The ordinance changes the itinerant vendor license cost from $25 per day or $100 per month to $200 per year.
For most vendors who follow regulations and spend more than eight days selling in the county, that should constitute a savings.
The ordinance also eliminates requirements to fingerprint vendors, but requires them to present identification and to provide names of all individuals authorized under the license for that year.
The treasurer's department, which will issue the licenses, will provide this information to the sheriff's office for background checks.
After the meeting, Acting County Counsel Brian Morris said the penalty for breaking the itinerant vendor rules would remain at the infraction level.
Infractions are considered less severe than misdemeanors and usually consist of fines that grow if offenses are repeated.
Finally, background information for the ordinance indicated that sales "benefiting a charitable or public purpose where the seller is not paid" would be exempt from the rule.
Morris told the board a committee composed of himself, chairwoman Sherrie Thrall, treasurer Susie Bryant-Grant, environmental health director Jerry Sipe, sheriff Greg Hagwood and auditor Shawn Montgomery came up with the proposal.
He said itinerant vendors would have to display their license and get written authorization from the property owner of the land they were selling on.
The attorney explained these types of vendors were already precluded from operating on highways or county property.
In a telephone interview, Morris said the written permission rule was not intended to apply to door-to-door salespeople.
Morris told the board that vendors participating in larger events already have permits addressing this topic, like the county fair and the High Sierra Music Festival, and would be exempt from the requirements.
"So who's going to go around and check if they have the license?" Quincy Supervisor Lori Simpson asked.
Thrall said the sheriff's office would take on that responsibility.
Bryant-Grant told the board she had already spoken with a vendor who was pleased he would be paying less on an annual basis and wouldn't have to come in every month to renew his license like before.
Indian Valley and Feather River Canyon Supervisor Robert Meacher asked if people at farmer's markets would have to get licenses.
Morris said the board would have a list of "recognized community events" that did not require licenses.
Vendors at those and other events would still have to comply with environmental health requirements and other rules.
Meacher said his impression was that the emphasis on enforcing the licenses would hurt more locals than it would stop shady door-to-door salesmen or people hocking stolen good.
He thought the county should have business licenses for everyone, which he contended would be helpful in economic development because the chambers and the county would have a better idea of what businesses existed in the county.
He also implied the fees could go to business-friendly uses.
Later in the meeting, Thrall told him she agreed that would be good, before adding that was not the topic in front of the board now.
Bryant-Grant told the supervisors most business owners were assessed more on their property values, creating an added expense that itinerants did not have to pay.
She argued that code enforcement would level that playing field more.
Eastern Plumas Supervisor Terry Swofford added Portola had recently passed rules that were very similar to these.
Bryant-Grant said a large part of the effort would be the sheriff's office running background checks on itinerant vendors before licenses were approved, "to see if there's any warrants, if they're a pedophile, if they're a drug dealer."
Thrall said, "A lot of this is an outgrowth of our brick-and-mortar businesses coming to us and saying 'we're here, we're paying property tax, we're paying business tax as far as coffee machines and whatever equipment.'
"We're contributing to every charity that comes to our door and then right next door to us comes in a vendor for three days and sells the same thing and undersells us because they don't have all this overhead. The problem was to look at how to level the playing field.
"You obviously can't restrict free enterprise from coming and being there, but we do have some control over knowing who they are and if there's a problem how to find them."
Meacher asked how the committee came up with the $200 fee amount.
Thrall said the group was trying to strike a balance between covering license administration costs and reducing the annual cost for vendors who spent a lot of time in the county. The focus was to get more information about vendors who did not own property in Plumas but came in and out.
The chairwoman added people had not been following the previous rules and this change would make it easier for the sheriff's office to provide enforcement.

Name: Yahiko Myōjin 明神 弥彦
Nickname: Catcher of a thousand blades
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Clan: Uchiha
Yahiko's appearance boasts of the defiant demeanour within with his rebellious "cat-like" eyes and shock of spiky unkempt black hair. He usually wears a green haori patterned along the collar with several sets of short, twin parallel lines and a white undershirt, as well as a dark, or sometimes white, hakama and standard white tabi and zori. Yahiko also wears his sword tied across his back for easy access. He also wears dark blue wristbands. On the back of his haori's collar he has the kanji character aku (悪), which means "evil" in English. While this is an unorthodox look for a Shinobi, Yahiko prefers this attire as he can conceal his ninja tools inside his haori. Another reason for his lack of Shinobi attire is his belief that it will draw less attention to the fact that he is a shinobi and he would thus be less likely to be identified as an Uchiha.
He is 170cm tall and has black, neck length, spiky hair. Yahiko also has dark coloured eye that vary between hazel and dark brown. Yahiko is also a very lean person, although his muscles are well toned.
Even when he was the tender age of ten, Yahiko was a short-tempered, violent, bad-mannered and foul-mouthed young man. But, above all else, he is proud - proud of his Uchiha lineage. Taught cynicism and rebelliousness by the mean streets of Amegakure and schooled in thievery by the crime syndicates after his parents' deaths, Yahiko is nonetheless driven by his pride (since the discovery of his Uchiha lineage) and to avoid taking actions that would bring shame to his family name and reviles his days as a lowly pickpocket.
Angrily rejecting the pity and charity of others, Yahiko strives to fix his problems with his own hands and suffers greatly when it appears that his strength is not great enough to protect his ideals. As such, he quickly becomes infatuated with ninjutsu and kenjutsu, training diligently to become strong enough that he needn't rely on anyone else's power. As he grows stronger and stronger under the guidance of his Nindo, to re-establish the noble name of the Uchiha, Yahiko becomes driven to take arms for the protection of the precious people around him. He frequently puts his own life in jeopardy to protect others and prove to himself that he is becoming stronger. When his friends have been wronged, he rushes headlong into the fray to enact revenge and see justice done.
Despite his rude countenance and admittedly limited intelligence, Yahiko is also quite astute, being able to see inconsistencies and incongruities in the words and actions of other people and point them out bluntly. As time passed Yahiko managed to grow into a level-headed, contemplative, and caring young man, although his rude tendencies tend to emerge now and then.

Uchiha Yahiko, as he was first called, was born in Konohagakure five years before Kurama was unleased on the village. His parents were low ranked officers in the Konoha Police force, a force composed entirely of Uchiha. However, Yahiko would never know his father, as he was killed during a tactical mission in another land, seven months before his birth. As a result, Yahiko was raised by his mother, who relocated the two to Amegakure in order to avoid the scrutiny brought upon the Uchiha after Kurama's attack on the Village. But she, too, died after contracting syphilis, leaving Yahiko an orphan at the age of two, not yet able to retain full memories of his lineage. Facing starvation on the streets, Yahiko was taken in by crime syndicate and schooled rather thoroughly in the ways of pick pocketing so as to repay his new caregivers, the Myōjin family (thus his new family name), for taking care of him. However, between the shame of becoming a common criminal and the abuse he suffered at the hands of low life thugs, Yahiko quickly soured on his life as a thief.
Ten years later, during a failed pick pocket attempt, Yahiko was nearly beaten to death where he was then saved by an Akatsuki member who noted his possession of a 1 Tomoe Sharingan, awakened by his brutal beating. The Akastuki member was named Akiza who taught Yahiko about his clan, and the fate they suffered a few years prior. After this encounter Yahiko makes up his mind to sever ties with the Myōjin family and the crime syndicate they where associated with. However, Yahiko kept the Myōjin family name as he was aware of the unwanted attention being an Uchiha would bring him. Now bitter about the contradiction of being unable to defend himself whilst being one of a few survivors from such a proud clan, Yahiko decided to leave Amegakure to become a strong Shinobi worthy of the Uchiha name. During his travels he managed to receive training in Fire release, initially from Dante.. and then finished my a man dressed in a fine suit, McRazor. Yahiko also received training in Lightning (later finished by the man in the suit) and Earth release from a man known as Darui...
Now at the age of 20, Yahiko, still holding the name Myōjin - returned to Amegakure now under the rule of -Minato- where he has been receiving training from another Akatsuki member Gobi Gobletsson in Genjutsu. Upon returning to Amegakure, Yahiko has made many friends, some who where only there for a short time and left shortly after like his old friend Mathias, and those who seem more permanent such as ~Korra~ and blaise12 whom he met during a brief stint in the Hidden Shadow Village, Sindy and Howard. Deciding to now stay in Amegakure, Yahiko still searches for training to become as strong as he can so that he can return the good name of the Uchiha to the many few left whom posses it. Since returning to Amegakure, Yahiko has begun training with [COLOR="RoyalBlue]Vision[/] teaching him wind, Kato. teaching him water and Kryptiic who is finishing off Yahiko's earth training.
Yahiko carries with him a katana sized Bōken, which he wears on his back. He alternated this with a Sakabatō which he wears on his left hip, which since acquiring it, he favours more than the Bōken. His choice of weapons is a statement the he does not wish to kill his opponents, as he believes that would only worsen the name of the Uchiha and brand himself as a killer.
Yahiko also stores in the sleeves of his haori several kunai and shuriken in specially designed pouches for quick access. He also has a pouch on his back where he keeps more tools and weapons such as flash and smoke bombs, explosive tags, ninja wire and many scrolls.

Looking at the games specifications, I am a little surprised by the huge jump in graphics hardware specs. Can someone explain to me why I need an OpenGL 3 card to play this?

I think AMD can drop ATi as a brand. I think most consumers don't know ATi from nVIDIA. The people that can differentiate the two companies know one graphics manufacturer from the other and would be keeping tab on the news, hence, they'd also know about AMD dropping ATi.
AMD could drop ATi and the entire Radeon line and come up with its own line of products entirely based off the ATi graphics designs. The whole thing does entail a huge cost barrier for AMD just to make the new brand and new graphics offerings visible publicly through marketing ads and public press events.
The cheaper way is to just keep the brands, though I think AMD will gradually have ATi bow out maybe by early 2007.
I saw this article in Anandtech. It's a pretty interesting read on AMD/ATi.

Analysis of the Electric Field and the Potential Distribution in Cavities Inside Solid Insulating Electrical Materials
T. Seghir[1], D. Mahi[1],T. Lebey[2], and D. Malec[2][1] Materials Laboratory, Electrical Engineering Institute, Amar Thelidji University of Laghouat, Algeria

Solid extruded polymeric materials such as crosslinked polyethylene are widely used in the electrical insulation of underground high voltage power transmission cables.
This paper treats the combined effect of space charge and cavities, on the electric field, and potential and temperature distribution within the insulation. The model is a 3D stationary linear COMSOL Multiphysics model and the values of the magnitudes in the cavities are calculated, enabling us to envisage if partial discharges appear in the weaker parts.

How to Care for Amber Jewelry
Amber is an attractive but delicate ornament. Popular for its deep golden color and natural patterns, amber decorates both antique and modern jewelry, from beaded necklaces to rings and earrings. Handmade amber jewelry from places like Poland, Thailand and India lends an eclectic look to any outfit. This jewelry requires special care, as amber is soft and can be easily damaged by even mild chemicals. If exposed to sudden changes in temperature, amber can crack or even break. For these reasons, care should be taken to protect amber jewelry when wearing, cleaning and storing it. With proper care, your beautiful jewelry will last a lifetime.

By reading the reviews, I thought this was a super great case. It's more like glitter glued on, and cheaply at that. They aren't rhinestones, it's glitter! And I've had it on my phone for an hour and I'm covered in glitter. Looks cheap.
Piece of crap do not buy!!!!!!!!! It does not look like it does in the picture
I love this phone case! And so does everyone else I know! Several people ordered the same one (different colors) after seeing mine. It's a lot of fun, and fits the phone well. Once in a while some sparkles come off and end up in my purse, on the couch, but it's usually one at a time, so it is no big deal. After having this case for several months, a thread appeared, and I pulled it, because I couldn't help myself - it seems like I separated the back of the case from the frame, and it's not as sturdy.
If it had protective bumpers on the front, it would be awesome, but it does the job well, for what it is.
I ordered and got what the image showed and once I received it I like that it's easy to pop on and off my iphone. I have had no major issues with the glitter falling off.
Occasionally a sparkle or two will fall off when I put my phone in my pocket. Also, the threads around the edge are pulling. Neither is enough to make me not like my phone case though.
Fun item for the price! Will not protect the phone from drops, it just looks good :) I put clear polish on the back to help with the glitter falling off like others said it did. So far so good. Easy to find in my purse!

In Firing Back, six-term Congressman Todd Akin describes in eye-opening detail what it is like to be an unapologetic conservative in a town dominated by media bullies, back-room bosses, and liberals of either party. Although he tried to be a loyal Republican, Akin's first allegiance was always to the Constitution and his conservative principles. When the Bush administration lobbied him to approve its progressive legislative initiatives, No Child Left Behind and the Medicare prescription drug benefit, Akin refused. In the process, he made some serious enemies.
Those enemies got their revenge after Akin made an awkward comment about rape. Although he had just won a hard-fought Republican primary in Missouri for US Senate, party bosses tried to coerce him to yield the nomination to their preferred candidate. When Akin refused, the bosses turned their back on him and let Democrat Claire McCaskill win.
In Firing Back, Akin tells the story of how the Republican leadership not only threw him under the bus but also ran over him a few times for good measure. Not one of them explained what it was about Akin's remarks that so deeply offended them. Akin names names and takes numbers in Firing Back, but this book is much more than a tell-all. It is a battle-tested guide to Republicans and conservatives to help them find their courage, reclaim their integrity, and, by doing so, help preserve America's faith and freedom.
