Compound Leverage
SOG's proprietary Compound Leverage technology works by employing multiple pivot points that generate greater handle travel in relation to plier movement. The result is a leverage advantage of approximately twice the power of a conventional multi-tool, which makes every cut smoother and easier.
Double Tooth Saw - Rotating Blade
SOG's Double Tooth Saw design is truly cutting edge! The alternating tooth design allows the saw to grip while at the same time reducing friction for optimal performance. No outdoorsman should go into the wild without it!

PowerLock EOD 2.0 Fuzewell Spike is rated out of 5 by 75.Rated 5 out of 5 by kingpin from The Best by Far! I've been a Leatherman man for many years. The Powerlock EOD 2.0 is, in my opinion, far superior. I use the tool every day in heavy construction. Thank you for thinking of everything.Date published: 2015-06-06Rated 5 out of 5 by mmrunyan from Extremely strong. Superior quality! This is my second SOG PowerLock V-Cutter. First one was stolen. I use this tool daily, hard use, and it never let's me down. Absolutely, positively, 100% the best multi-tool. The other big brands don't even come close.Date published: 2015-05-02Rated 5 out of 5 by Alex from SOG utility knife I love my sock utility knife I cannot go on one day without it attached to my belt.it is the best quality.Date published: 2015-03-31Rated 4 out of 5 by sgtdavid from a good multitool i bought the knife just before a campout, and the first thing i had to use it for was to cut a massive block of cheese. it performed excellently and was really good. The blade came really sharp, which was awesome. I don't really favor the little rods that you have to fold out o access the tools because they get in the way. And the knife does not have scissors, which i use frequently. The pliers are good, and really tough, at the cost of being able to spring back into open, but i would rather have tough pliers than spring loaded ones. All in all, it is a genuinely good tool that i am expecting to last for a long time in camping.Date published: 2015-03-29Rated 4 out of 5 by Jackie27 from Smooth open and close I recently got this tool and really didn't get to use it much. Each tool is easy to get to and the lock give me a little more peace of mind to really use it. I wish they had an option for a plain edge knife.Date published: 2015-03-28Rated 5 out of 5 by Bushman from Quality I have used multi-tools for now Twenty years in Central Africa. Every day I put them to the test. This recent purchase, I am very satisfied with the quality which went into the product. The field is where the test is not carrying in a pouch for decor. I have used all the tools several times over and am not disappointed. The gearing makes short work of difficult issues. Thank you for your product and quality that it is made with.Date published: 2015-03-17Rated 3 out of 5 by Andrew from Disappointing Bought it a few weeks ago. Ordered it with an engraving of my name, but it didnt come with it. The order sheet it came with says it was there, and to look at attached sheet to review the engraving, but there was no attached sheet. Just holes in the top corner where there had been a stapled sheet of paper. It also appears to be a used model, based on the marred finish. I also added three day shipping but it took 4 days. Still need to return this for my money back and buy a leatherman instead.Date published: 2015-03-06Rated 5 out of 5 by blackout1 from my only full size multitool i will cary everday I got this for Christmas of 2014-1015 and I love it. I took the scissors, file, and knife out and replaced them with a v-cutter, wire strippers and fuzewell spike. I fell I can use these tools more often the scissors where ok but only worked with paper. The whole tool feels like a tank and can accomplish any task within its limits. I hope to get years worth of use because its my to go tool, replacing some of the components are pretty easy and handy incase you break any of them.Date published: 2015-03-05

What's Not Included
The rural town of Samraong, capital of Oddar Meanchey province, is located 120 km north of Siem Reap province. The locals there have a relaxed and slow-paced way of life, which is often a delight for visitors. The town, though small, acts as a popular base for many travelers coming from Northwestern Cambodia. Samraong is also the town closest to the O'Smach/Chong Chom border with Thailand.
About the Project
Cambodia is one of the poorest countries in South-East Asia. Over 75% of the population lives on less than 2 USD per day, with the figures for the countryside dramatically higher. Basic infrastructure is lacking and education levels are generally low. In 2008, this organization joined forces with the provincial government of Oddar Meanchey and began partnering with local and international NGO's to assist with several volunteering projects in the Northern Cambodian countryside. In cooperation with the provincial education department, this organization has brought volunteers to work in local schools in Samraong and surrounding villages.
Orientation Week
This orientation is the first step towards a great stay in a new country. It is designed to expose you to Cambodian culture in the best way possible. This week is dedicated to getting to know the language, culture and customs. You can expect basic language classes to help you get around. You will also be able to try traditional cooking classes so that you can make delicious Cambodian meals at home. You will be taken to the finest temples in the area and have the exciting opportunity to have a Q&A session with monks to enhance your understanding of Buddhism and its customs. Throughout the week, there will be a lot of opportunities to interact with the locals so you can learn more about them and they can learn about you.
Volunteer Work and Contribution
The followings projects are school-focused with an aim to improve the education, facilities and overall experience for the underserved children of Samraong. You will select one of three placements.
- Teaching English on a non-formal basis
- Working with the children in their vegetable garden (for their own consumption)
- Providing workshops for the students about cultural exchange
- Helping with art and handicraft activities
- Hosting sports after classes
- Creating environmental awareness activities
- Holding hygiene and health classes
- Assisting with small construction and renovation projects
- Helping paint the school buildings
- Working in the vegetable and flower gardens
- Assisting with building tables and chairs
- Constructing and renovating the playground
- Making pathways
- Learning to build toilets
- Repairing the school wall
- Help build the new classrooms
Please note, construction and renovation work is available in more places when required in the local area. Tools and equipment as well as instructions will be provided
Health Education: The organization has partnered with provincial public health department and several local schools to assist the development of health education. The objective is to improve the health of young Cambodian children through teaching medical-related topics in their schools such as sanitation, Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), bodily health and care for the elderly. Keep in mind that you will be working with blackboards and whiteboards, but you are encouraged to be as creative as possible with the resources you have. You will go around to different schools each day teaching on these various topics. Please note, your project coordinator will schedule your program with the school principals.
The schools are located in the town of Samraong and the villages around it. In 2015, the school holidays are from April 6th - April 20th and from August 1st - October 1st. You can still volunteer during these times but your focus will be on community and construction projects in the area.
A typical day: You will work about 4-6 hours, Monday to Friday. Your daily tasks will vary depending on which project you are assigned to. Weekends are free for all projects.
***Note: Cambodia is a tropical country with occasional violent storms, heavy rains, and floods. During such times, the above schedule may be subject to change.
Living Arrangements
Accommodations: You will be housed in a local homestay unless you are part of a big group in which case you will stay at a guesthouse. The doors and windows of both accommodations are screened to protect you from mosquitoes. There are fans in the rooms and lockers for your valuables. The camp is situated close to the Samraong city center where you will find internet, shops, hospital, pharmacy, banks, and restaurants. Please note that Cambodia is still a developing country and that the facilities may not be the same standard as you may be used to in your home country.
Food: All meals are included. They are typical Cambodian food (plenty of rice dishes).
Laundry: There are limited laundry facilities so expect to hand wash your clothes.
Please note: You are expected to be environmentally aware and to use all resources with restraint, especially water, paper and electricity. You will be expected to clean up after yourself and ensure your accommodation is kept neat and organized.
Minimum Requirements
- Min age 18
- Good level of English
- Motivation to work with children and meet new cultures
- Positive and flexible attitude

On not getting overwhelmed
What can artists do to avoid being overwhelmed by all they have to learn?
Noah Bradley suggested patience (Facebook comment). How does an artist become patient?
It would be useful if people could be as explicit as possible on how you solve these problems, what good thoughts do you have to criticize your bad thoughts and so on.

Noahs right Life is (hopefully) long! Dont worry too much about all the things you need to learn. Maybe think more about the stories you want to tell with your art.

Yeah patience and acceptance are always playing a major role as I develop. I have to accept the reality of where I want to be and take a hard look at where I am. This is when patience comes in, to help me realize the huge strides I have already made so I do not get so discouraged when I notice the road getting longer and longer. Some days its about sitting down and just getting the work done overwhelmed or not and other days its better to take a short break. I am also a big fan of doing the things you dislike first so you are more free to enjoy the things you do like more. I also like to do the really thought provoking things when I am full of energy and clear headed and save more automatic stuff for later when I am a bit more burnt out. This way I can work quite a long period of time even if I only have 4 good hours of full focus that day. Hope it helps.

It's good to have something which -you just do-, being an artist means opening your entire organism up to new stimuli, from your surroundings, your memories, yourself, the things you eat, and other people, not to mention technology. We create new connections, new "path-ways" in our brain, which our thoughts flow through, when we stop doing this, we begin repeating ourselves, and whilst art does have a great element of repetition, isn't it just as much about repeating things in an unexpected way?
It's easy to get overwhelmed (and then give up) when you are -the lone wolf- -the hermit-, so putting oneself in a group setting, or corresponding and collaborating with others, or even just reading a book which basically tells you what to do, and then following it rigorously, start to finish, is a good way to not get overwhelmed (and even if you do, to pick yourself back up, brush yourself off, and walk on through).
here's the book i'm reading at the moment, helping me back on my artistic / creative feet: http://www.amazon.com/Artists-Way-Sp.../dp/1585421464
It's a really good book, because it not only goes into detail about how and why we fall into all kinds of traps, but how to get out of them, and really just... make your own way, your own path, once you truly have rescued your own inner creative self from all of these somewhat common stumbling blocks.
Anyway, good luck on not getting overwhelmed, remember to breathe and take it easy; it's calmest right in the centre of the storm, you are the one harnessing it, re-arranging, motivating, inspiring and creating, and the storm, is the world, cheers

The lower you are on the learning curve -- that is, the more of a noob you are -- the faster you will go. Enjoy the wind in your hair.
I was once on the receiving end of a critique so savagely nasty, I marched straight out of class to the office and changed my major (sketchbook).
March 14th, 2013 #8
I mean, you get frustrated and all, but in the morning you wake up and you still want to be a good artist so you suck it up and keep going. Fast forward through a few thousand temper tantrums and there you are -- a patient artist.

Just perspective alone makes my brain shutdown.
Maybe you guys see progress, no matter how slow, and that helps with patience? Or you know how to organize your learning?
I have noticed that children draw less stuff in their art as they grow up. They're not shy to draw a whole scene with landscape and tons of elements. Normal adults who don't chose art as a career refuse to draw or do it frivolously in games. Yet they might play football on the weekends or whatever. Or play music.

Just completely forget about this notion of danger and accept you are a child of god who's essence is love, fan the flames of your own curiosity so that they burn the blockages of fear which have you walking in circles in a dark room, Don't try to go outside of your own comfort zone, just take it with you! Make yourself comfortable.
fucking go for it man! : D
Let the sun shine on your mind and accept possibilities, do NOT, i repeat NOT kill your own dreams, I FORBID IT!
go into more detail about what exactly you mean by getting overwhelmed, and then I can give you more specific advice. At the moment I'm just guessing you mean it all gets too much and you give up. You're the one who has to live your life, I'm not in your brain to tell you what triggers you into feeling "it's too much", be your own neuro-surgeon, identify these patterns and create new ones.

It can help to break things down into smaller tasks/goals. For example, "perspective" is a complex subject and therefore "practice perspective" can seem a large and bewildering task. So just practice one-point perspective, then when you can do that without thinking twice, go to two-point, and so on. Don't try the complicated subjects until you are comfortable with the basics. If you are overwhelmed, you are probably trying to get into more advanced concepts too quickly. Imagine a beginner piano player trying to play a complex Mozart piece, and of course they would be overwhelmed! You don't even want to look at the advanced concepts yet, as they will be confusing without having mastered the basics first. Work on the things you find simple and manageable, and look at the more advanced concepts only when they feel more accessible to you.
Overwhelm can also come from too much perfectionism - the desire to get everything right first time and do it perfectly. You need to be willing to make lots of mistakes working the basic concepts, then build on that.
I will second the recommendation to read "Art & Fear" as well - it's not just about fear, but overwhelm and perfectionism and self-sabotage and all the other issues involved in this area as well.

Ooooh! That kind of perspective, LOL.
I interpreted it as, mental perspective on whether one is making progress or not.
Well, to me it was helpful to watch others artists do their things and explain their thought processes. Relaxed, simple, repetitive, a great learning tool.
I think errm, scott robertson (gnomon dvds) and shawn barber/andrew jones/marko djurdjevic/el coro (massive black dvds) were what really made me feel like i could LEARN and "do this", years back. Now you can watch livestreams! And ask questions while it's all going on.
Also, like i said in the first reply talk to other artists.
When you talk to other artists and realize however high you get, however perfect things appear to you now, when you get THERE there will be new "mistakes" and things to consider. So don't worry, the journey will always continue, don't make a certain state or product your aim, enjoy the journey.

I did the one point, two point, three point. I was taught that in 7th grade. I don't get it. The world is not empty vacuum with flying quasi-cubes all paralel to each other. I guess the problem is all books start with this and I go "no no no not this drivel again" and shutdown. Why don't books start with reality, say a photo of a complex interior or an urban landscape and break it down into comprehensible steps?
I did read Art & Fear but I didn't retain much I guess. I know, I know... "Read again!"

The House voted 114-34 to override, while the Senate voted 26-9 to override. Two-thirds of each body needed to vote to override the Governor's veto, otherwise the veto would have been sustained

UAVs come in all shapes and sizes. The big ones used overseas in the war zones carry not only surveillance but are heavily armed.

To the Editor: Community is scarred by mega-dairy battle
The 2nd District Appellate Court in Elgin issued its ruling on Dec. 22, 2010, regarding the Traditions Dairy project in Jo Daviess County, concurring with the previous Jo Daviess County Circuit Court ruling in favor of dairyman A.J. Bos. The judges did, however, uphold the right for citizens to protect themselves and their communities by putting to rest the empty threats of H.O.M.E.S. being sued for damages by Traditions Investments LLC.
H.O.M.E.S. (Helping Others Maintain Environmental Standards) is a 501 (c)(3) and will continue its public education, outreach and water quality test efforts; especially important in light of the purple discharge from Traditions Dairy, supposedly a zero discharge facility, last October. That was the fourth documented discharge because of silage leachate… As the IEPA, USEPA, and the Attorney General enforce their permitting process, Bos is finding it very difficult to ever operate his mega-dairy in its present design and location.
A.J. Bos and his project proposal, illegally permitted by the IDOA [Illinois Department of Agriculture], and trial have left bruises and scars on the communities in the area. Divisiveness caused by the IDOA, Big Ag, Farm Bureau and paid lobbyists, pitted citizens against each other. People will be defined forever by "who was for it" and "who was against it."
There is a movement reaching across this country. Citizens want their rights back. H.O.M.E.S. has connected with people who have been in battles for 10-15 years. With these people, we will fight to reclaim these rights and standings because without them, we have no safety net. Without these groups, polluted air and water will be the only things our children and their children will ever know.

Press Release

(ANNAPOLIS, MD)—The Chesapeake Bay Foundation applauds the decision by the Maryland Department of Agriculture for the first time to provide cost share funding for legumes as part of a multi-species cover crop, something CBF has been advocating for years. This provides a way for farmers to meet their nitrogen needs without relying on poultry litter or chemical fertilizers. It is also seen as a potential long term solution to soils over saturated with phosphorus. Read More

The bay is amid a multibillion-dollar restoration following decades of neglect. Read More

Your child's doctor will do a
physical exam and
ask questions, such as how often the headaches occur and what the symptoms
are. The doctor will ask about your child's overall health.
Migraines and tension headaches can be similar to
other kinds of headaches, which may have different treatments. So it's
important for your child's doctor to find out what kind of headache your child
has. The doctor also can make sure your child doesn't have other health
problems that may be related to the headaches.
It's common for parents to feel very concerned about their child's
headaches. You may feel that more testing is needed to rule out serious causes.
But doctors often can find out the type and the cause of the headaches without
using other tests.
In some
cases, imaging and other tests may be recommended to rule out other health problems,
but this isn't common. These tests include:

Marriage confusion
When I picked up Friday's Sentinel, the first thing I noticed was the picture of two lesbians kissing. The article on the jet that was shot down in the Ukraine, killing 298 people, was below it on the front page.
I encourage my children and grandchildren to read the newspaper. It was unsettling to have my children view this picture, since we believe marriage is between a man and a woman. These kinds of pictures should be used in places where children do not necessarily have to view them.
If gays want to legalize their union, why not do it in a civil ceremony? It is incompatible with Scripture to have people of the same sex demand to be married in a church with God's blessing.
This confusion has arisen from people doing whatever they feel is right in their own eyes. We cannot stop people from doing their own thing, but do not be confused: It can never be blessed as a sacred union.
Let's not confuse loving people with accepting their ideologies.

No desire to live in anti-capitalist U.S.
Anthony H. Lee's letter to the editor in Saturday's Sentinel gave me cause for concern about the future of our country.
His letter attempts to show that owning and earning income from capital investments is undesirable and needs to be corrected because it has produced an "outsize wealth-accumulation imbalance."
He proposes to correct this by "incrementally increasing taxes on the wealthy" and by following the lead of France and Spain; adding a progressive annual tax on capital or total wealth, thus discouraging many wealthy people from continuing to seek high returns.
I suppose Lee would also add that the taxes collected would then be available for distribution to those in our country who are less fortunate. Unfortunately, his ideas have been tried in the communist world and proved to be invalid.
I, for one, have no desire to live in Lee's U.S., since I would probably not have my job. You see, I work for one of those evil capitalists who has made it possible for hundreds of people like me to work and even own a bit of capital ourselves.

Florida should join national E-ZPass
We must make it easier, not harder, for tourists to visit and spend money in Central Florida, and the current twisted highway-toll system needs untangling.
Traveling from the airport to Disney, visitors hit tolls requiring either exact change in coins or a SunPass/E-Pass transponder. Many toll stations do not even have human attendants and don't accept credit cards — conditions making it impossible for visitors to pay. Many visitors just stepped off an airplane and might not have spare quarters for tolls.
Even worse, the six-county E-Pass is not compatible with the E-ZPass system, which is used by 15 states throughout the country.
We should get rid of tolls in Central Florida. If we demand tolls, we should make both SunPass and E-Pass compatible with the E-ZPass to allow the majority of our visitors to pay as easily as possible. All unmanned tollbooths should also accept credit cards.
Florida must modernize to avoid pestering the very guests whom we need to visit, stay long, spend money and return soon to do it again.

Marian Hossa stretchered off after Raffi Torres hit, Phoenix announcer calls it a clean play (Video)
At first glance, it may have looked like the hit Raffi Torres threw on Marian Hossa Tuesday night was clean. Watching it on TV during game speed made it tough to judge, but after seeing the replay it's clear that Torres did a number of illegal things. As you can hear in the call in the video above, former player and current Coyotes analyst Tyson Nash disagrees that the play was dirty.
"That is as clean of a hit as you are going to get," Nash said after viewing the replay according to CSNChicago.com. "I don't have a problem with this, he comes in, he explodes through that hit, and hits him with the left shoulder."
The problem is he exploded through his head. Torres lined Hossa up after he had already released the puck, left his feet, and hit him high. It was a dirty play and Torres can expect a multiple-game suspension for it, despite the fact that the referee who was standing right next to the play somehow failed to see that Torres launched himself and made contact with Hossa's head.
Perhaps the most disturbing part about the play is that it came on the exact one-year anniversary of Torres doing the same thing last year when he was with the Canucks. That time, he led with his elbow to the head and blindsided Brent Seabrook — another Blackhawks player. Torres had just returned from a four-game suspension for another dirty hit when that play occurred. Clearly he's not getting the message. The NHL needs to send a stronger one this time around.

87.17-Ounce Kellogg and Humbert Gold Ingot87.17-Ounce Kellogg and Humbert Gold Ingot Recovered From the S.S. Central America. CAGB-409. This ingot made by the California assayer-coiners Kellogg & Humbert has a stamped serial number 248, weight of 87.17 ounces with fineness of 923 (923/1000ths), for a nominal or face (melt) value in 1857 of $1,663.21.
Recovered From the S.S. Central America
Made Between 1854 and 1857
Recovered From the S.S. Central America
Made Between 1854 and 1857
In today's terms (as of December 1, 2011), with gold hovering around $1,750 an ounce, the melt value would work out to 80.46 ounces of pure gold, with a bullion value of $140,800. Of course, such mercenary measures border on sacrilege to collectors of various stripes, to whom these ingots are immeasurably more valuable than "mere melt" as historic mementos of the headiest days of the California Gold Rush.
Like all ingots recovered from the doomed steamship S.S. Central America, this one is described by Q. David Bowers in the Appendix to his reference: "Large-size ingot. Inscriptions on face. Vertically oriented. Reverse stamped with repetition of serial number, but in different font."
The ingot shows interesting coloration, light veins of reddish-brown covering much of the surface in an irregular pattern. Other smaller areas display rich burgundy patination. The assayers' nameplate is stamped in a rectangle as KELLOGG / & / HUMBERT / ASSAYERS, with ASSAYERS in a different and slightly smaller font from the rest. The CAGB number derives from the massive Bowers reference, A California Gold Rush History featuring the treasure from the S.S. Central America. Two assayers' test cuts, small diagonal slices through opposite corners, one on each end, are seen on all such ingots.
This assayer's ingot is undated; again, as all such, since they were merely a convenient rectangular storage form of the most transient nature, usually intended for melting at the other end of a commercial journey. The ingot was made between late 1854 and September 1857, the bookends being the foundation of the firm of Kellogg & Humbert and the foundering of the S.S. Central America on Sept. 12, 1857.
John Grover Kellogg arrived in California on October 12, 1849, and first went to work for Moffat & Co. By late December 1853, he set up the Kellogg & Richter firm with George F. Richter, a government assayer, just a few days after the United States Assay Office had closed. Kellogg & Richter produced many twenty dollar coins during early 1854, a period during which the San Francisco Mint had not yet opened and no other private firm was issuing coinage. Kellogg & Humbert was organized in late 1854 with partner Augustus Humbert, the former U.S. assayer of gold. Their place of business was 108 Montgomery St., San Francisco.
Given the excellent credentials of both Kellogg and Humbert, and the large number of Kellogg & Humbert ingots recovered from the Central America shipwreck, it is clear that many bankers, or private depositors who desired ingots rather than coinage, placed their faith in the firm to produce ingots of high quality and reliable assay.
Heritage has been privileged to offer numerous examples of the ingots of various California assayers in the past that were recovered from the Central America. But we find that as time goes by, it seems that fewer and fewer of these massive, important gold bricks are leaving their owners. For potential bidders who someday desire to own one of these historic ingots, we suggest that "sooner" may be wiser than "later."

Jason Bergman will be fighting on April 13 on another card promoted by active fighter and NABA champion Rod Salka. Bergman (20-9-2 13 KO) was supposed to fight on the last card promoted by Salka but had to pull out.
Bergman was set to fight for the USBO title before pulling out. This will be the first fight for Bergman since August 2012.
Salka has also confirmed that Scott Alfer will be fighting on the card. Alfer (1-0) hasn't fought since his pro debut in 2010 but is a very entertaining fighter and should bring the action.
Salka (17-2 4 KO) is not sure if he will fight on the card. I will bring updates as they become available.

I want to use Git to store and version data efficiently, but I also want to be able to change revisions on demand.
So I want to use Git with many branches instead of the usual revisions. For every "version" of my data there will be a branch.
Only a few files will change per branch and there would be 1-10 revisions per branch, depending on how often a certain revision has to change.
So the file/data load would be almost normal, I would only have a lot of branches instead of revisions.
I know that this is a strange way to use Git, but would it scale?
dbyrne asked for the usecase. I am not sure if helps, but here it is:
- I plan to version Vagrant metadata
- I have some project in a separate SCM (e.g. SVN) and every revision belongs to a Vagrant VM
- Every Vagrant VM has metadata and install files, which will often be the same for many revisions
- Sometimes I have to change the metadata and I need to support branches of my project, so I wanted to use Git branches for every revision
- My application will keep track of project revisions and Git metadata
- My application will check out the relevant files for every given project version
- With the metadata it is possible to aromatically create a VM for every project revision

JCT600 buys Gilder Group
JCT600 has acquired Sheffield's Gilder Group, taking on nine dealerships, two parts depots and a body shop.
The move was announced today (Sunday) and sees the Bradford-based family company buy the £200m turnover business from outgoing CEO Garry Scotting for an undisclosed sum, thought to run to eight figures.
The newly acquired outlets will trade under the JCT600 banner immediately and the deal boosts JCT600's annual takings to above £850m. This also sees the company become one of the 10 biggest retail groups by income – they ranked 13th in the 2012 AM100. Gilder Group, meanwhile, ranked 56th.
All staff at the Gilder outlets will be retained. JCT600 chief executive John Tordoff commented: 'This acquisition is another leap forward for us as a group, strengthening our coverage geographically and adding some more strong dealerships to the group. We are growing our workforce by a third, adding over 30% to our revenues and making this the biggest deal JCT600 has ever done.'
Garry Scotting, Gilder's CEO said: "The group will continue to have a presence in Sheffield as we retain our three Gilder Honda sites. And, though I am retiring from the business, I will retain shares in the group and support the Gilder Honda team to grow."
JCT600 acquired retailers York and Hull Audi from the Gilder group in 2009.
