I purchased 2. The item is not very sturdy and easily scratched. However, one can expect this from an inexpensive item (as compared to higher quality items pricewise). Just be on notice, you get what you pay for. With that said, the item serves the purpose for which it was purchased.Read More

you get what you pay for
they scratch very easily and the legs continue to loosen, trying to tighten them down I even broke one of the cross blocks that the bolt goes through, had to fabricate my own out of oak.Read More
Great purchase! Heavy! It is not necessary to have 2 people to lift but, it will lessen the chance of marring the finish or damaging joints. Nice wood, deep rich mahogany color, easy to assemble, sturdy, looks awesome in the space it was purchased for! Looks more expensive than it was! Measurements are exact! This is important if you plan to have chairs fit under the table well.Read More
Love it. `
It's sturdy, attractive, elegant, can be used as a dining room table or as a workspace--so I'll probably buy another for that purpose. It took me about 20 minutes or less to install. REAL EASY. My boyfriend really wanted to help put it together, but by the time he came back from taking out the garbage, I was done. There's a small nick on one corner, but it's tiny and I don't really care. The table doesn't stain either, no rings from glasses, no coasters!Read More
Great Quality
I had to replace a glass top table that I already had chairs for. I loved that table (I got from Overstock) and the chairs were of such a high quality I didn't want to replace them. I found this table on Overstock and was shocked to find it perfectly matched the dimensions of my old table, was also made of oak, and had the same rich, dark brown color. The picture is spot on color wise, however it makes the table look like an end table, or a hallway table. It's not as small as it looks and it is a great quality piece of furniture. I am very happy about my purchase and will continue to look for home decor at Overstock.Read More
Low quality table, even lower quality packaging
We were so excited to get this table, which seemed like a great deal for something that looked really nice. Unfortunately, it arrived poorly packaged. There were actually rips in the box large enough that you could see the table through it. As for the table itself, one of the braces underneath the table was torn off at the screws, and one corner of the tabletop was smashed in so that you could see what it was made of under the coating, which I believe was some kind of laminate. Inside the table was something more like paper fiber than wood fiber. All in all, the table top seemed to be made of something more like dense cardboard than wood. Only the legs are hardwood, as we learned due to the damage. We do appreciate Overstock's policy regarding things damaged in shipping, in that at least we didn't have to lug this enormous package to the post office ourselves. And we appreciate that we would not be held financially responsible for returning an item that had arrived damaged. However, they said that they MIGHT send someone in ten days to pick up the table, and we needed to hold onto it until then to get our refund. For people who have a small living space and no storage, getting a large item damaged like this and needing to hold onto it for ten days without knowing whether they are actually going to come get it could really be a hardship. I have bought many smaller things from overstock in the past and had positive experiences. But I don't think I'll be buying any more furniture from this site in the future-- and from now on will be reading the descriptions much more carefully.Read More
Not satisfied
This was the SECOND table I received that was damaged - Not sure if damages occur during shipping/delivery but aggrevating! You need to pad these better - 2nd one had chip on top of table but I didn't see chipped piece in table and corner of table was damaged looks like from delivery so would say a combination of both but if you would pad these for shipment better, maybe they wouldn't arrive damaged. UPS boxes on all deliveries I have received have had cuts/holes and or damages to the boxes (creating damages to the product) they appear to be careless in handling your product. I am suggesting that if you would PAD your product better maybe it would help when they throw it around prior to deliver. Very unhappy w/constantly receiving damaged products. As far as my rating the product would have been fine had it not have been damaged (again not once but twice now w/this same product)Read More
Nice, pretty and great quality for the price
I needed a spare table for setting up in my art room for using a mat cutter but I wanted it to be nice enough to utilize as an auxilliary dining table for large dinners. I am very happy with this table. The wood is dark and smooth and goes well with my other mediterranean-looking wood pieces. It assembled easily and is not wobbly. The box did arrive with holes through which half my bolts & washers had escaped but a call to customer service righted that problem in less than a week so I have no complaint.Read More
Questions & Answers
good price, correct size to fit in my small kitchen
Right size and style for my space. Decent reviews.
I am using this as a craft table.
I needed a desk for my new office and this size and style will fit perfectly into my small room.
price and style
Is the top of table solid oak or wood veneers.
Hello Precious, the table top has wood veneers. Thank you for shopping with us.
Does this table seat six?
Quite possibly it can seat six depending on the width of the chair. The dimensions are 30 inches wide x 47.2 inches long x 29.1 inches high. Use this to determine whether you can get two chairs on either side with one chair at each end.
This table comfortably fits four, but can accommodate six if needed.
I already purchased the Parson classic peat microfiber side shairs (Set of 2) (tan/cherry). The seats are recommended to go with this table. How closely does the wood match?
That is difficult to say as the Parson chairs are finished in cherry. and made of a Poplar wood. The table has reviews verifying a rich, dark brown color and the wood is Oak. These items are frequently purchased together, but not necessarily recommended to be purchased together.

HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — Asian stock markets ended broadly higher Wednesday, with the Australian market finishing at its highest level in almost four-and-a-half years, although Japanese shares were hit by a strengthened yen.
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index XJO, -0.57% rose 0.9% to end the day at 5,003.70 — its best close since Sept. 22, 2008, or a week after Lehman Brothers' bankruptcy filing.
Japan's Nikkei Stock Average NIK, -1.11% which last week reached its highest close since September 2008, finished with a loss of 1% at 11,251.41 on Wednesday. South Korea's Kospi SEU, -0.13% climbed 1.6%, paring its year-to-date losses to 1.1%.
Philippine stocks ended the day 1.1% higher, while India's Sensex 1, -0.21% climbed 0.7% in afternoon trading.
Hong Kong, Taiwanese and mainland Chinese markets were closed for the Lunar New Year holiday.
While trading in Asia weren't at full strength due to the holiday, share markets were grinding higher globally as "positive earnings results enable the bulls to enjoy a little more sunshine," said Matthew Sherwood, investment market research chief at Perpetual Investments.
Aiding sentiment in Asia, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.14% ended Tuesday trading at a level not seen in more than five years. Read: Obama seeks to break free of budget fight.
Earnings Down Under
Corporate earnings helped the Australian market to gain on Wednesday, as shares of banking giant Commonwealth Bank of Australia CBA, -0.56% CBAUF, +1.22% rose to a record 67.38 Australian dollars ($69.41) early in the session, before settling back to A$67.11 for a 2.4% advance.
The gains came after the bank reported a 6% increase in adjusted profit — with the figure exceeding analysts' expectations — and raised its interim dividend. Read: Commonwealth Bank first-half profit rises 1%.
Other Australian companies updating investors on earnings included engineering firm Leighton Holdings Ltd AU:LEI LGTHY, +0.00% which surged 11.2% after reporting a return to profit in 2012.
"The pendulum is swinging to earnings," Sherwood said, speaking about the Australian market. "Earnings growth has to come through, or the market is going to top out."
During the Asian session, U.S. President Barack Obama made his highly-anticipated State of the Union address, during which he said the U.S. would start talks on a potential free-trade deal with the European Union. Read: Obama seeks to break free of budget fight.
Sherwood said that such a deal marked a "long-awaited" effort to enhance trade links between the two largest economic regions in the world.
"Moves by politicians to increase the level of overall trade is a win-win situation" in general, he said, adding that the deal may work to benefit to the global economy.

BIG RAPIDS, Mich. (WZZM) - Police in Missouri have located a vehicle belonging to a missing Big Rapids man.
Around 6 p.m. Thursday, the Big Rapids Public Safety Department was notified that a 2005 Chevy Malibu belonging to Fred Byrne was located just outside of the Mark Twain National Forest in Van Buren, Missouri.
The vehicle was found unlocked with Byrne's wallet on the rear floor board and the keys in the center console. According to Carter County Sheriff Deputies, nothing appeared to be out of the ordinary or suspicious inside the vehicle.
Officers in Missouri searched the area around the vehicle but had to call off the search because of a lack of daylight. Byrne was not located.
Carter County Deputies and US Forest Service Investigators will be conducting a more thorough search Friday morning.
BIG RAPIDS, Mich. (WZZM) - The Big Rapids Department of the Public Safety is asking for help in finding a man missing from the Holland area since Tuesday.
Fred Byrne, 49, is from Big Rapids, but was last seen leaving his mother's home in Holland Township on Tuesday afternoon. Byrne had gone to Holland to take his son back to Hope College in Holland and had stopped to visit his mother. He last mentioned that he was going to stop at RiverTown Crossings Mall in Grandville to pick up a Valentine's gift for his wife on the way back to Big Rapids.
Byrne is described as being white, 6'3" tall, 290lbs., with blond hair and blue eyes. He owns and was driving a silver, 2005 Chevy Malibu, with the license number of BSY 0298. One side of the back window has a "BR" sticker and the other side has a "Hope College Parent" sticker. The car also has a Hope College license plate cover.
Byrne has not been in contact with any family or friends, which investigators say is extremely out of character.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Big Rapids DPS at 231-527-0005.

OGDENSBURG Fifty dangerously leaning gravestones are slated for repair this summer in the Ogdensburgh Cemetery along Route 812.
The Ogdensburgh Cemetery Association applied last week for state grant money to repair the stones, which pose a hazard to visitors.
Its also an aesthetic issue, cemetery association President Arthur Hastings said Thursday. But these gravesites are an immediate problem. These are not monuments that are laying on the ground. These are monuments that are in danger of falling over and could potentially hurt someone.
The association applied for an estimated $2,800 through the state Department of States Division of Cemeteries last week. Mr. Hastings said he hopes to hear before the summer whether the application was successful so the association may begin working on the stones.
The association in December had published the list of deteriorating gravesites in hopes that family members could help contribute to the cost of repairing stones. Most of the stones in need of repair date to before 1900.
Names on those graves are Northrop, Christiana/Stephens, Dillingham/Wright, Farnsworth, Kelly, Butler, Ranney, Baldwin, Wheelock, Ralph, Caswell/Plumsteel, Day, Bellinger, Purvis, Scott, McRoberts, Chapin, Miller, Lowry, Brown, Kellogg, Barney, Woods, Shannon, Durgan, Bloodough/Scott, Mott, Armstrong, Cameron, Galbrath, Denny, Badlam, Christy, Orr, Dorgan, Haslers/Wright, Robson, Gibson, Gravelle, Miller and Hoag.
Once the first round of gravestones is restored, the association hopes to apply for more funding next year. Mr. Hastings said he doesnt know the total number of sites that need to be repaired, but much of the historic cemetery is in bad shape.
The public cemetery relies on donations to maintain its grounds and stones. The association will begin its annual letter-writing fundraising campaign May 1. Proceeds from last years campaign approximately $5,000 will be used to level the cemeterys gravel roads this summer.
St. Lawrence NYSARCs Seaway Industries will be performing work on the cemetery the first week in May, when the association will hold a work day for volunteers to clean around plots.

Therm-a-Rest Camping Gear
- 10 Items
- 10 Items
The Therm-A-Rest and Cascade Designs story begins in the early 1970s, when more and more people were lacing up their boots, hoisting packs onto their backs, heading out into the hills, and sleeping under the stars. Two former Boeing engineers, avid backpackers themselves, had an idea: "Wouldn't it be great," they imagined, "if we could make it more comfortable to sleep out on the cold, hard ground?" So, together they created the world's first self-inflating camping mattress. They called their invention Therm-a-Rest, and their fledgling company Cascade Designs. Therm-a-Rest mattresses quickly became standard equipment for adventures worldwide, and are still regarded as indespensible for outdoor sleeping comfort.
The products in the Therm-a-Rest Camping Gear category have an average rating of 4.5 of 5 from 25 customer reviews.

Soirée Wine Aerators
Soirée wine bottle aerators attach to any standard wine bottle, aerating and decanting the wine directly as you pour. This method of aeration "opens up" a wine's characteristics, highlighting subtleties and nuances in flavor, aroma, and texture more markedly than pouring straight from the bottle. Soirée's contemporary method of wine aeration prevents waste and saves time compared to traditional carafe decanting. Soirée's other niche bar tools include chilling spheres and wine stoppers.

I'm following LHN howto=Chpt 10 with fc13 and everything worked up to the point that I could browse to swat on http. Then I started "Encrypting SWAT".
useradd stunnel
make stunnel.pem (had to change to the directory /etc/pki/tls/certs for this to work)
changed the permissions as directed
/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf changed the location of the key and cert file (which on my system /etc/pki/tls/certs/stunnel.pem).
/etc/xinetd.d/swat-stunnel to match the example and ensured disable was off in swat-stunnel and on in swat.
Added "swat-stunnel 902/tcp ..." to /etc/services.
smb nmb xinetd are running and started stunnel
firewall is aware of samba
port 901 and 902 are set for tcp (my terminology may be off).
"netstat -an -t |grep 901" shows 901 listening but no response for 902 (I think herein lies my problem)
"netstat -an" alone shows neither 901 or 902.
1. ...xinetd.d)# netstat -an does not show 0.0.0.0:901 or 127.0.0.1:902 as listening ( it does on another network set up the same???)
2. Using a browser for swat I cannot get to swat but get a "Problem loading; The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading" page whether I use http: or https: and whether I use localhost or 127.0.0.1 (both of which are in the "only from" line in the configuration files).
3. When I reboot and come to the login page, stunnel is listed as a user, is this good for security? Doesn't seem so to me and I'm wondering how to get it to not show there.
I returned to the tutorial and undid the encryption portion of swat as follows:
set swat to disable = no and swat-stunnel to disable = yes
changed /etc/services #swat-stunnel...
changed /etc/rc.local #/usr/bin/stunnel
chkconfig smb swat xinetd on
pkill stunnel
service smb nmb xinetd swat restart
And everrything works fine. I can access swat from a browser using http://localhost:901
So this tells me that I have something configured wrong in the swat-stunnel process. I have been through the tutorial 4-5 times and rechecked my work and cannot find the problem. I have googled, searched this and several other fora, been to samba and read many tutorials on samba and swat but cannot figure where I'm off. Anybody have experience or suggestions?

A new UFWDA 2007-2011
March 12, 2007, 12:41:39 pm »
As UFWDA prepares to face 4x4 access challenges for the next 5 years, its board of directors has undertaken a new business and marketing plan to steer the way. Our mission remains the same - promote, protect, and provide 4x4 access across the globe.
While some of the changes won't be effective until approved by the delegates at the 2007 annual memeber meeting, here's a look at what's on tap.
* Improved techniques for servicing our members, including on-line member account services, improved 4WD Awareness Clinic availability, more on-line programs, and a fresh new look to the UFWDA Voice.
* Better discounts from more merchants.
* Better merchandise on cooler stuff. Don't miss out on the Endangered Species shirts!
* An Organization Incentive Program where members can donate $3 of their membership dues to a UFWDA Organization of their choice. If your club or association is a UFWDA member this program sends money back to your area to help keep 4x4 access in your area open!
* A dues increase to $25/year/member.
* One vote for every member. The current delegate structure that limited voting to associations and/or clubs appointing delegates that was historically used to steer direction for UFWDA is being replaced with a "one vote for every member" voting structure.
* New Business member structure to provide more benefits for each membership class, including special advertising discounts and special and exclusive promotional opportunities.
To find out more, read the business plan and the proposed by-laws here!
edited 3/21/07 to post revised by-laws to correct Article III, Section 1(C) and renumber the remaining Sections.
edited 3/26/07 to post revised by-laws to correct Article III, Section 4 to clarify that membership classes with life-time benefits do not expire.
edited 6/20/07 to post revised by-laws to correct Article II, Section 1 to expressly indicate UFWDA is a non-profit corporation; Article III, Section 1(c) to clarify that organizations will be entitled to one vote; and Article V, Section 3 to clarify that directors must be members in good standing of UFWDA.

It looks good, and looks like it is very sustainable.
Like mentioned in the plan, there may be a loss of members initially, but I am sure they will come back once they see what United is doing to protect their land access.
I know from talking to some friends in Vegas this week, they have a lot of issues there with access to public lands.

I know it is getting harder and harder to get donation dollars.
I know I cringe everytime I have to fill the gas tank, and with the doubling of the cost to fill my jeeps, it takes away from money I can donate.
If United could make something like the BlueRibbon, and a small donation every month of 5, 10 or what ever from their checking account, or credit card may help.
I give $10.00 to Blue Ribbon every month, and would do the same here if that option was available.
Also in the military, we have the Combined Federal Campaign every year, and if United was listed there, I would donate that way if available. Tread Lightly was there this year, and i made a donation to them.
I know a bunch of groups are looking for our donations, and it is getting harder to pick who to donate too. I would rather constantly donate to 1 or two donations along with my annual dues to my club and state association then pick a new association to donate to every year. The reason for this, is the organization starts to depend on my donation, and if I take it away every other year, they may not be able to fight to keep lands open in my area. Now my donations are small when compared to the big overall picture, but every dollar helps the association.
Keep up the good work Carla.

What a major over haul- this really brings to the table a very serious discussion on how Associations will supoort United starting in 2008.
Its very good to see that United is moving in a positive direction. A business plan is an excellent idea and demonstrates Uniteds commitment to providing the best means of support to its members. Successful management is the key.

Thank you Trish and Tom for your posts. Tom, please don't hesitate to post any questions you or your club members have. We are very committed to going through questions and ideas now so that when the July meeting arrives all of our associations and organizations are prepared to vote.
It was a pleasure meeting everyone from KMA Off-Road at the VA4WDA annual meeting. You are a great bunch of folks and we're very happy to have you aboard.

Kudos to those responsible for the proposed new business plan and membership fee structure.
The proposed new fee structure should benefit everyone involved, UFWDA, its members, and the other organizations that support United.
When specifically (month), if the new fees are approved at the July meeting, will they go into effect and be collected?
Thank you,

Take a look at an overview of what we have in store for a better UFWDA.
Give us your comments. We'd love to hear from you!
It looks like UFWDA is now going to be all about the almighty dollar, no longer operating as a not-for-profit corp. It will be about INDIVIDUAL members, not about member ORGANIZATIONS. It will no longer be UNITED ASSOCIATIONS, so how can you sleep at night keeping the name the same while radically moving the center of gravity of UFWDA?
The current BOD is 9 members and requires 2/3 present to conduct business and a 2/3 majority to take action. The new BOD will be 6 (or 7...more on that later) and quorum/voting is only simple majority. More power in fewer hands...not good.
Meeting notification will be as little as 10 days; it's currently 60 days. With 60 days notice I have a chance at making plans to attend a far-off convention; 10 days and it would be more costly (more difficult) to attend. There is mention of absentee voting, but no specifics on how this works. However many INDIVIDUAL members show up at a convention is a quorum. Very easy for a few folks living close to an annual convention to make changes that a vast majority of members wouldn't agree to. Control is moved to a smaller group...not good. Current voting/org is similar to representative government, much better than direct voting all the time.
Who is responsible for the books and records? Why is there no Secretary to record/file meeting minutes and other corporate documents? That's what a corp secretary does.
I have much more, but I have to go back to making a living. I'll be back.

Well. Thank you for your candor.
UFWDA is all about making your almighty dollar work hard for you and using it to protect 4x4 access globally to the best of our ability. But we are not about the all mighty dollar in the disparaging way you indicate.
UFWDA will continue to operate as a not-for-profit corporation, as we have since our inception some 30+ years ago. This means that any excess money left at the end of year will NOT be spent to pay dividend or otherwise pay our members a profit. Instead, it means that all the revenue we take in will be utilized for the mission of the organization - to protect, promote, and provide for 4x4 opportunities worldwide. Our goal remains the same - keep roads and trails open for four wheel drive motor vehicle use.
I am unclear on the basis for your accusation that UFWDA will NOT be about member Organizations. As indicated in the business plan posted at the beginning of this thread, Organizations are the only class of members that will be benefit from member referral and financial assistance from the Organization Incentive Program. I invite you to review the business plan, particularly section 3.1.1(c) and 3.1.2(c). Furthermore, Organizations shall continue to have voting rights to guide UFWDA policy and direction, see By-law Article IV, Section 2. The change moves UFWDA from being controlled by 75% of our members (as is the case currently where only members represented through an organization have voting rights) to being controlled by the whole of our members or by 100% of them.
Thank you for asking. UFWDA, and it board of directors sleep very well indeed knowing that the proposed plan does more to enable UFWDA to save more trails and more access than it currently can while meeting the needs of 100% of the members yet retaining our focus on organizations.
The meeting notification section of the proposed by-laws was drafted in conformance with IN state law which requires that no corporation may give notice of annual meeting less than 10 days before the meeting or more than 60 days before the meeting. IN law in this regard is based upon model legislation adopted in the majority of states utilizing language adopted as matter of public policy to protect corporate members, contrary to the tone of your insinuation to the contrary. The public policy behind the "no less than 10 days and no more than 60" is to give enough notice so people can make plans to attend but not so much notice that they forget to go.
If Southwest Four Wheel Drive Association, whom you represent, would like to change the notice to require more than 10 days all you need do is bring your request before the board. It matters not to UFWDA whether we give you 10 days, 25 days, 45 days, or 60 days. However, we are legally bound to stay within the parameters set by IN state law that gives you no less than 10 days notice and no more than 60 days notice.
The specifics on how absentee voting works is clearly spelled out in the by-laws, Article V, Section 4(d) and Article VIII. Absentee voting is limited to two circumstances - voting of officers and by-law amendments.
There is no secretary because the cost of travel solely to fulfill the purpose of taking meeting minutes is expense and redundant. The obligation of the recording secretary is placed upon the Administrative Officer as part of the paid duties of that office. In the past the office manager attended the meeting at the expense of the corporation and the secretary attended the meeting at the expense of the corporation. UFWDA feels it is the best use of limited funds to only pay one person to record the minutes and attend the meeting rather than two.
UFWDA has a special forum established for organization delegates and organization board members, to which you have full access. Please go here for the in-depth discussions that have been taking place since January regarding the proposed changes for UFWDA. I trust that your SWFWDA delegates provided you with a full report of these activities upon your acceptance of office, but in the unlikely event they did not please feel free to browse around and read the voluminous amount of information on this subject. Please follow this link:
I appreciate your apparent passion in seeing that UFWDA remains the world's leading all-brand representative of four wheel drive enthusiasts. Please feel free to direct any complaints or questions you have to our board of directors or to myself at
. Our goals are those of our members - making a strong UFWDA to protect, promote, and provide 4x4 opportunities worldwide. I have been copied on your e-mail communication with the President that you sent yesterday.

Meeting notification will be as little as 10 days; it's currently 60 days. With 60 days notice I have a chance at making plans to attend a far-off convention; 10 days and it would be more costly (more difficult) to attend. There is mention of absentee voting, but no specifics on how this works. However many INDIVIDUAL members show up at a convention is a quorum. Very easy for a few folks living close to an annual convention to make changes that a vast majority of members wouldn't agree to. Control is moved to a smaller group...not good. Current voting/org is similar to representative government, much better than direct voting all the time.

This is one of the issue I have with a pure INDIVIDUAL based membership organization. I agree we should let individuals have some say but as you pointed out, a meeeting in a strategic location could garner enough members to shift the focus of UFWDA. While I don't think it's 'dooms day' scenario, I do believe the Associations in the organization should still hold the majority power.
I hope you'll be in attendance at the Delegates Caucus prior to the AGM this year. There's lots' to talk about. And a Carla just pointed out while I was typing, there has been mucho discussion on this. Go read the post's she identifed and weigh in on the discussion more, please!

We have elected delegates; I am not one and I have no plans to attend the convention. I trust our delegates to take care of business.
I don't see how UFWDA can still be about it's member orgs/assoc. when one grizzly old prospector in the Yukon Territory who sends in his dues has a vote equal to SWFWDA's one vote. Southwest can afford to send a couple delegates to represent/vote for us. Under the new plan, two of those prospectors can vote alike and trump SWFWDA's single vote (from 1000+ members). Oh wait, I guess we could send one delegate carrying 1000 absentee ballots. That sounds a whole lot better than the current system, you bet.
I prefer to keep my questions/concerns out here where ALL members can read/comment.
If UFWDA will still be non profit, then put the words in the bylaws.
Where in the new bylaws is it CLEARLY stated that ORGANIZATIONS get a vote? Article 3, A. clearly says private sector members get a vot, B. clearly states biz members get a vote, C. says nothing about Organizations getting a vote. Since two of three classes are clearly given voting rights and no mention is made for a third, one can only infer that ORGANIZATIONS GET NO VOTE. There is ambiguity between this article and article 4 regarding voting rights. One seems to trump the other.
The membership no longer votes on dues. The Board has total control to set dues. The board shrinks; it takes a smaller portion of this smaller number to make things happen. Fewer people have TOTAL control of the purse strings. This is scary to me. Very scary.
As I read the proposed bylaws, the APPOINTED operations person is a director and officer AND [maybe] will earn a salary. The wording needs work if this is not the intention. The bylaws suck if this is the intention. I have no problem with a paid professional Executive Director. I have big problems with some of the convoluted language in the new bylaws regarding officer/directors/appointments and executive committee. It's as if great care were taken to hide what's really going on.
As small as the borad of directors will be, why is there a need for an Executive Committee? Provisions are there to conduct business by phone, so it ain't like "it's too hard to meet often to conduct the day-to-day biz."
If the goal is to give individual members more power (apparently, greater power than member orgs), then UFWDA is no longer ASSOCIATIONS united for common goals, but rather INDIVIDUALS and BUSINESSES united for common goals. Will individual members need access to club insurance for trail rides/events? Who's more likely to work together for a common cause [like keeping BLM lnad/trails open]: Las Cruces Four Wheel Drive Club and Southwest Four Wheel Drive Association, or individual joined members of United living in New MExico and Texas? SWFWDA is an ASSOCIATION that UNITED with other ASSOCIATIONS within UFWDA to achieve common goals. The new UFWDA should be UFWDE or UFWDP (enthusiasts or people). It will no longer be united four wheel drive ASSOCIATIONS. This is a significant change to the core of UFWDA.
Back to work for me.

Last comment then I really have to run.
Please don't reply, "Read the business plan" as a retort to my concerns. The BYLAWS establish the rules. If the bylaws don't say it's so, the business plan doesn't make it so. Will delegates vote on a BINDING business plan? Can the directors change the business plan whenever the wind changes?

"Overall it was a great weekend of tennis," head coach Michael Engdahl said. "We were able to win three singles flights on the men's side, which is awesome. The women also played extremely well for their first tournament of the year. We were on court for 11 hours on Saturday and seven hours on Sunday. These weekends can get very long, but I thought we showed great focus for the entire tournament. We also gained some valuable confidence that will help us the rest of the fall and into the dual match season."
Complete results are available at the beginning of this article.
Next up for the women is the Air Force Invitational. Competition is scheduled for Oct. 5-7 in Colorado Springs, Colo.
The next men's event is the ITA Regionals Qualifying in Minneapolis, Minn. Competition is set for Oct. 18.


text: TeamWidetrack 5pts WOO-HOO! Team Widetrack! Pontiac went out fighting. This one car was worth more than Buick's current global lineup combined. MT was kind enough to test a GXP that was NOT Liquid Red. One of my favorite articles ever. GM stopped making great sedans when they stopped making Pontiac. Honestly Buick's US lineup is nothing to write home about. As beautiful as a Bonneville and performs like a Trans Am. What more could you possibly want?

HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — Once again it looks as if talk is easier than action when it comes to economic reform in China.
Expectations had been raised after Party General Secretary's Xi Jinping's tour of Guangdong last week with his pledge of "no stop of reform."
Others might have asked — when did it start?
After the conclusion of a two day Central Economic Work Conference this weekend in Beijing, it appears there are few concrete policy clues.
A statement issued at the close of the key economic planning conference once again looked long on descriptions of problems facing the economy and short on policy detail. It appears we can expect continuity in current policy with no major changes for now.
China's new leaders are at least correct in identifying the need for change, of course.

There was a reminder of this last week after China's November exports rose a mere 2.9%. As exports falter, the economy needs a new growth engine.
The days of China regularly racking up 20% plus growth rates in exports are unlikely to return. Rising costs mean the world's factory workshop is losing out to cheaper locations. Nike NKE, -0.49% for instance, now manufacturers more sports shoes in Vietnam than on the mainland.
The answer, everyone seems to agree, is for the domestic economy to take up the growth slack. But this is unlikely to happen with mere policy tinkering.
The longstanding problem with China's economic model is the extent to which the state-sector dominates, channeling money into state industries and fixed asset investment.
This has resulted in an economy where consumption as a proportion of gross domestic product has fallen to just 35%. In the U.S., by comparison, personal consumption is twice that number.
In contrast, investment has been running at roughly 50% of GDP.
This may have produced some impressive growth numbers, but it has also brought a lengthening lists of unwelcome side effects. One problem mentioned in yesterday's statement is industrial overcapacity, when so many resources are directed at investment.
But you can take your pick of these distortions from China's myriad grand infrastructure projects, to the millions of residential apartments sitting empty.
These paltry domestic consumption figures have also been routinely used to make the case for far-reaching reform and a rolling back of the state.

It's apparently mind blowing to some folks that for our first 15+ years, we'd never used Cascade hops in any of our beers. And now, seemingly out of the blue, we've gone and used Cascade in our two most recent beer releases: 2012 Stone Old Guardian Barley Wine and the Bear Republic / Fat Head's / Stone TBA. Interestingly enough, we got a fair amount of (unexpected) reactions at this news. Some people laughed. Others cried. (Not really. At least as far as we know.) Some made conclusions about what they thought the beers would taste like before even trying them. (Hardly unusual.) Though most just happily went to their local craft beer bar or trusty bottle shop, picked one up and thoroughly enjoyed it without knowing or caring that the use of Cascade hops was a new endeavor for us. Cool.
Then we got a few strange comments scattered about our multiple social media channels. This one in particular made us scratch our heads: "Stone using Cascade hops? What the hell? I thought you guys wanted to stay a Cascade free brewery." Wait… what? We never said that. At least that we can recall. Clearly, some folks felt we had some 'splaining to do. Et voilà… here we are.
