Megan Fox Talks About How She Loves Corsets
Megan Fox Hopes Corsets Make a Comeback
The 24-year-old actress also explained the lasting impressions left by the old fashioned garment:
At the end of the day when we would take it off, it would leave these deep grooves, these deep indents from the boning in the corset. I'd have it for the whole next day. The next 24 hours I'd be imprinted with the corset. It hurts your ribs!"
Even after admitting that her torso ached once the corset was removed, Fox still loves having her waist cinched, exclaiming,"I do think there's a place for corsets. I think they should come back. They should make a reappearance. I enjoy them, but maybe I'm sick."
I can't even wear heels for more than an hour since they hurt my feet and back, but what do you think about suffering through pain in the name of fashion? Would you wear a corset or any other type of restrictive clothing to look thinner?

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Jon Corzine, the former chief of failed MF Global, apologized to customers of the firm and told lawmakers Thursday that he did not know where missing money was located.
As much as $1.2 billion in client funds may be unaccounted for after the eighth-largest bankruptcy in U.S. history, reiterated an attorney representing the trustee overseeing distribution of customer money for the firm. The trustee first warned in November that funds were missing.
Jon Corzine's at a loss
Watch an excerpt of MF Global former CEO's testimony before Congress about his firm's collapse. (Video: Fox Business Network)
"I simply do not know where the money is, or why the accounts have not been reconciled," Corzine said to a House Agriculture Committee hearing that sought to examine the MF Global collapse. He also said he was "stunned" when told that MF Global couldn't account for the money.
New York-based MF Global filed for bankruptcy protection on Oct. 31 after disclosing sizable exposure to derivatives and other investments related to billions of dollars in European sovereign debt.
Regulators are investigating whether the firm tapped into customer futures accounts for its own proprietary trading. No one at the firm has been charged so far.
Yet Corzine testified that he would never intend or direct or have customer funds moved, but added he was aware of a shortfall in funds on the evening of Oct. 30.
"I never intended to break any rules whether it dealt with segregation rules or any other rules," he said. "I'm not in a position given the number of transactions to know anything specifically about the movement of any specific funds."
Corzine, who left MF Global on Nov. 3, was subpoenaed to testify before the committee. He said he offered to testify in January, once he had been able to obtain and review "relevant records," but that this was rejected. Corzine told lawmakers he has had limited access to his records since leaving the firm and that he needed them to "testify accurately."
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are conducting investigations into the failure. Lawmakers on the panel squabbled about the CFTC's failure to identify problems and take action at MF Global before its collapse. Some Democrats on the panel defended the agency, insisting that it does not have the resources to do regulate effectively.
"I don't blame the law enforcement. I am concerned about whether you have the resources to do the job you need to do," said Rep. Leonard Boswell, Democrat from Iowa.
Republican counterparts, however, raised concerns about the agency oversight, questioning how officials could be taking so long to find the missing customer money and about conflicts of interest leading the CFTC chairman, Gary Gensler, to recuse himself from the investigation.
Gensler said last month that he would not be involved in any matters associated with MF Global's bankruptcy. Gensler and Corzine both worked at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. GS, -0.21% at the same time.
Rep. Timothy Johnson, Republican from Illinois, raised concerns about Gensler's absence, asking whether he is part of a "Goldman Sachs fraternity."
"If Mr. Gensler is here or listening to this somewhere, which I assume he is, from the standpoint of Congressman Johnson, I find your failure to testify here totally unacceptable," he said.

The charm of Gozo is apparent the moment you arrive there. Greener, more rural and smaller than Malta, life on Gozo moves at a leisurely pace.

At every turn one finds oleanders, geraniums and bougainvillea in full bloom in summer and lush crops in the fields in winter, while picturesque villages with imposing baroque parish churches and charming Gozitan farmhouses in Gozo , dot the countryside.
Even if you are there for a short visit, it is easy to see why Gozo has become known as undiscovered paradise

Thats just me though.
You can sign petitions there, and send letters and e-mails directly to congress in order to save the internet as we know it. I've been going there and doing so for a couple years now. I even look at that topic when it comes to who I plan to vote for.
However, I'm suprised they didn't touch on government censorship/filtering. The potential of this is bleedingly obvious and already happening, the great firewall of China, Pakistan blocking You Tube, bloggers being arrested ect.
Though if the internet is really 'based in reality' then I think we're all screwed lol.
As for the argument that a group of hackers could set up their own network, that is true. But how would you know about that hacker's network? I know how to call AT&T or Verizon...but I don't know the number to H4xX0Rz's internet server in Los Angeles. How many of you here know how to use IRCs? Hackers and other independents will always be a resource, but there're only a few people who will be able to take advantage of that resource.
The tough part about this kind of fight, is that these are the kinds of laws that get passed one year, but don't get enforced until the next year. So by the time people realize what happened and get pissed off, it's too late to argue with the legislature.
The first World Wide Revolution.
but the video musta taken forvever to produce, must of been a school project or something
but it was really long
i highly doubt that the internet will actually turn into a one way mediatelevision and radio and newspaper all did because people didnt have the money or acsess likwe people do today,with a team of hacker and tech geeks wthey could set up there own network
it just probably wont happen

Sons of The American Legion squadron adjutants and officers now have access to membership information, reports and electronic membership tools at www.mySAL.org [2].
The American Legion National Headquarters in Indianapolis developed the website to mimic myLegion.org, which assists post, district and county officers with their membership needs.
The new mySAL.org site allows members to:
To access mySAL.org, download the registration form here [3]. The form requires approval signatures from both the squadron and post adjutants before it's sent to National Headquarters. Once national staff verify officer signatures and receive approval from the department, they will email instructions on how to create a mySAL.org account that requires a username and password.
The squadron adjutant on file at National Headquarters is the administrator of the site, but sign-on credentials can be shared.

Physicality is skin-deep. Compassion is what's truly hot. But wouldn't you know, you can enjoy both, all in one?
Beefcake Tempeh Nutloaf Pun here:
PLEASE NOTE UPDATES 6/11/10: Elijah Wood and Geoff Rowley are NOT vegan…Elijah was only rumored to be apparently, and Geoff was vegan for a short time, but he 'hunts.' And Georges Laraque's sandwich is Canada KFC's vegan "chicken" sandwich. [I know, this is all so important, hehehe.]
Great MD's site on veganisn:
This is re-uploaded with new music, since the first one on my 1221solstice2012 channel had a copyright problem. But it's still playing over there.
Wow, there are a lot of sexy vegan men! Any omissions aren't intentional. Vegan info is current as of 2/10/10 on the HappyCow.net website. Enjoy!

oops, Brian Bell is totally a meat eater.
Another addendum: Tom Gabel now identifies with female gendered pronouns, which may not qualify her for the list anymore.
Ugh Elijah Wood should totally be Vegan he was so convincing in "Everything is Illuminated"!
Also, Andre 3000 does ads for Gillette!!!! WAY UN-VEGAN EEEWWW!!! </3
Very cool video.
Though, I do not agree with the blanket statement that is being alluded to in the first sentence that simply by choosing vegan you are choosing to be compassionate. Lot of layers to this one.
Yes, I get the point you are getting at, but I also know it can be very dangerous to gloss complex issues in this way.
But again, thank you for the video.
[…] on elephant, vegans are hot too. If you put together a blog that was all pictures of sexy vegans holding kittens, you'd be golden. P.S. To all sexy kitten-owning vegans, send me your […]
Anthony Kiedis is not a vegan. I was at a function with him two years ago and he had the fish, plus mashed potatoes.
I didn't watch the entire thing but tried to scroll to see if Russell Brand was in it. He is the sexiest vegan. 😛
Russell Brand is also not Vegan…he clearly states that in one of his interviews, when asked about his Veganism he states he is a Vegetarian.
I'm sorry , you forgot the most famous vegan man, PRINCE, HELLO????!!!! smh.

YIELD: Makes 8 servings
- 2 3 1/2-pound whole chickens, each cut into 8 pieces
- 5 whole heads of garlic, cloves separated (about 70), unpeeled
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 2 cups dry white wine
- 6 very large fresh thyme sprigs
Trim excess fat off chicken. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Lightly smash garlic cloves just to flatten slightly, leaving peel attached and cloves as whole as possible.
Heat 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Working in 2 batches, add chicken and cook until brown on all sides, about 12 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken to plate. Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and garlic to pot. Stir until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Add wine and thyme; bring to boil. Return chicken to pot. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer until chicken is cooked through, moving chicken pieces from top to bottom every 5 minutes (sauce will not cover chicken), about 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Transfer chicken to platter. Spoon garlic cloves around chicken and drizzle sauce over.

Pre-birthday thoughts.

Happy Birthday, o! So glad you are happy and content. Thirty is good :)ReplyDelete
A very happy birthday to you, o!ReplyDelete
I never understand why 30 is such a big deal -- for women! Men at 30? Are considered very young. It's a shame it's different for women.
Happy Birthday, O!ReplyDelete
My 30th is seven months away, and it's something I've been thinking about quite a bit. It's interesting to compare where I am now with where I thought I would be. And while the two images are very different, and I've had some major hurdles along the way, I like where my twenties have taken me. I hope to feel the same way you do when the big day rolls around.
Congratulations on making it, as you say! You've got a lot to be proud of. I hope you have a lovely day celebrating the occasion. :)
Happy birthday O! I'm so glad to hear you're happy about it, and I hope you're having an amazing day. I'm so happy to know you and to get the chance to enjoy your wonderful thoughts on this blog.ReplyDelete
- Heather - as in, actually me this time23 March 2012 at 16:48
What a lovely post! Happy, happy birthday and a big hug.ReplyDelete
Being 30 is great. I much preferred being 30 to any year in my 20s...
- martina23 March 2012 at 16:58
Hi. Look, it's amazing how this isn't a tragedy for you. Being 30 is youth - more experienced youth. There are so many things you've done and even more still to do. Much more time to do them. Life seems sweeter, doesn't it? So much time to change your world upside down and still enough to get it back to the way it was. My 18th is in almost nine months and it doesn't feel old - it will just....happen, I suppose.ReplyDelete
Happy birthday. I hope it's nice for you to feel that you've made somebody's day.
I know I said this last night on Twitter, but Happy Birthday! My 30th was in January, and in some ways I felt it was a bit of a relief. 20s weren't always so great, so 30s have got to be better, right? At least that's what I keep hearing...ReplyDelete
So here's to a wonderful decade of 30s!
Happy (late) birthday! I hope you had a lovely day :). And (rolling out a cliche) age really is just a number, so as long as you feel great, who cares how old you are? :)ReplyDelete

An officer was reportedly parked on Reservoir Street around 2 a.m. when he heard three gunshots. He pulled around to the front of the building and saw three males driving away towards Haverhill Street, reports The Eagle-Tribune.
At the intersection of Crescent and May, the driver pulled over and 28-year-old Jose Calderon jumped out of the backseat, ran to the opposite side of the road, and began to bury something in the snow. Calderon then went back to car.
According to the newspaper, Ivan then went over to the snowbank and began to paw at the snow. It is believed the dog hit the trigger with his paw discharging a bullet into 82 Crescent St. Officers woke up the residents of the home to make sure no one had been hurt.

continued Guilderland advances to Tuesday's regional final against Section III power Cicero-North Syracuse at Gillette Field.
"They have a pitcher who throws hard and can hit the ball well," said Marino of Cicero-North Syracuse, which reached last year's state finals. "They have five slap hitters, so we're going to have to defend that."
Meanwhile, Gentile said she appreciates the way her Bethlehem players managed to get to the Sectional finals for the third time in the last four years.
"I think we were the only people who thought we were capable of going as far as we did," said Gentile of her team, which featured several first-year starters. "It was an honor to be there, and we were pleased with our performance in Sectionals overall."

According to a letter authored by several researchers and published in the journal Science, pandas are now facing major threats following China's decision to allow outside interests to purchase bits and pieces of collective forests.
The specialists who signed this letter are quite convinced that the country's land tenure reform will eventually translate into logging being carried out smack in the center of these animals' natural habitats.
Needless to say, this might ultimately lead to the species' coming face to face with extinction.
Mongabay reports that, according to several estimates, as much as 15% of the pandas' remaining natural habitats might soon be owned by outside interests, whose working agenda more often than not fails to take into account the country's need to protect this species.
Interestingly enough, the researchers who put together this letter also maintain that, all things considered, this decision-making to open up collective forests for purchase pretty much goes against the Chinese government's promises to do its best to safeguard the country's panda population.
Li Zhang, a wildlife researcher currently working with Conservation International China, made a case of how, "The reform contradicts the great steps the Chinese government has taken to conserve the giant panda in recent decades."
Backing up these statements, the President of Conservation International, biologist Russell Mittermeier, argued as follows:
"This change puts these vital habitats potentially under threat from commercial logging, increased collection of firewood and non-timber forest products by outside enterprises, and other commercial development activities."
"Sadly, it would threaten to deforest, degrade or disturb up to 15% of the remaining giant panda habitat," Russell Mittermeier went on to add.
Just for the record, giant pandas are currently labeled as a critically endangered species on the IUCN Red List, and their being this close to extinction is a direct result of people's habit of hunting them and destroying their natural habitats.

Revised franchise tax stirs unrest across Texas
Dwayne "Pop" Freeman has begun calling for an "Austin tea party."
The oil field service company owner first suggested overturning the Legislature with revolutionary fervor at a recent meeting of independent business owners. They were discussing the new state franchise tax, which evens the taxpaying field, supporters say.
But Freeman and many others think it unfairly raises taxes on small business owners.
"We saw it for what it was, an enormous entrepreneurial killer, in our opinion," said Will Newton, executive director of the National Federation of Independent Business -- Texas, an organization that opposed the package of bills that included the new tax. "Sure enough, that's what it's proven to be. This is a tax that has gone way beyond. They've overreached."
In spring 2006, the state Legislature approved a tax reform package that lowered school property taxes and reconfigured the franchise tax to catch some revenue that had previously been lost to loopholes that allowed several types of companies to avoid payment -- one in 16 companies paid the old tax, according to the governor's office.
"What the margin tax does is it basically says, 'We don't care if you're a corporation or a partnership or whatever,'" said Dale Craymer, chief economist for the Texas Taxpayers and Research Association, an organization that supported the overall tax package. "It makes it harder for businesses to avoid the tax, and it includes more businesses in the tax system so it becomes more reflective of our overall economy."
The governor's office told the Associated Press that the tax is fair now because more businesses will pay, and if it brings the state more revenue than expected after taxes are collected, or if it significantly affects portions of the economy, the state can make adjustments.
Even though he supported the overall tax reform package because of a bill offering property tax relief, Craymer said the margin tax itself is one of the largest business taxes in the nation, a "near tripling of the old franchise tax."
The franchise tax was due for the first time May 15, but the state comptroller's office extended the due date until June because the complexity of the tax and the reporting methods have concerned taxpayers and accountants, according to a comptroller's office statement.
Freeman made his "tea party" comment at a meeting organized by the NFIB in Abilene this year. The organization gathered small business owners at sites across the state this month to organize a Texas Business Tax Coalition, which seeks to adjust several facets of the margins tax.
He said the Legislature passed the tax to make up for the change in property tax revenues.
"They don't even know what it is going to generate, and it's putting a burden on us and all small businesses," Freeman said.
The franchise tax created a tax based on gross receipts, the income of a business. Businesses figure the tax on the lesser of three values, and they can deduct employees' pay, not including contract labor. The former franchise tax assessed net assets or profits.
There is a cap for protection, so no business will pay more than seven-tenths of a percent of its income before deductions, and businesses that have gross receipts of less than $300,000 a year or have a total tax less than $1,000 are exempt. Sole proprietorships are also exempt.
But it is nearly a tripling of the old franchise tax, Cramer said.
Freeman, who owns Red's Satellite Service on Oak Street in Abilene, saw his taxes to the state rise 27 percent this year.
According to the NFIB, which represents small businesses, the tax will affect small service-oriented businesses that use a great deal of nondeductible contract labor -- such as Freeman's oil-field service business -- the most.
More than 40 percent of the NFIB's members will pay 500 percent more in state taxes this year, Newton said.
"They passed it without any idea of its effects -- how many jobs would be lost, how many businesses would be forced out of business or how many small business owners would suffer," Newton said. "They did it without regard to the small business community."
The new tax favors some businesses over others, opponents say. Retail wholesale businesses do very well, said Jim Miller, Freeman's Abilene-based accountant, because they can deduct the cost of goods sold and figure the tax at a lower rate. Real estate businesses and rental companies are hurting the most, he said.
Because the new tax is based on gross receipts instead of profits, it can cause businesses that operate at a loss to pay taxes to the state, Miller and Newton said.
"You could have a company that has a loss for federal purposes -- and I've seen this with some of my clients -- pay no federal income tax," Miller said, "and they're having to pay maybe $10,000 or $20,000 to the state."
"Not even the IRS is evil enough to tax you if you lose money," Newton said.
Another side effect of the tax is that accountants need to calculate tax returns multiple ways to find the lesser of three values, resulting in potentially more billable hours. But accountants are not thrilled, including Miller, who said he would try to bill his clients as little as possible.
"I would certainly be happier in a lark if it was the way it was last year and we were just doing things the same old way," he said. "What's good for my clients is good for me, and I really don't see this as being that good for my clients."

Goldby Chris Cleave
Staff Pick
Chris Cleave's Gold is a departure from his previous two books: there are no horrific scenes of violence, but rather a tightly woven tale of friendship, family, and, surprisingly, unrelenting ambition. Sounds a bit incongruous, doesn't it? Yet, in Cleave's intertwined tale of three Olympic hopefuls and the child that binds them together, it all makes sense and dovetails beautifully. Can friendship coexist with explosive rivalry? What stands in the way of or, alternately, fuels a blinding passion? If you lose the very thing that gives your life meaning, can you survive afterward? In Gold, Cleave explores the stop-at-nothing determination to win and doesn't let up until he reaches a heart-stopping climax.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
What would you sacrifice for the people you love?
Kate and Zoe met at nineteen when they both made the cut for the national training program in track cycling — a sport that demands intense focus, blinding exertion, and unwavering commitment. They are built to exploit the barest physical and psychological edge over equally skilled rivals, all of whom are fighting for the last one tenth of a second that separates triumph from despair.
Now at thirty-two, the women are facing their last and biggest race: the 2012 Olympics. Each wants desperately to win gold, and each has more than a medal to lose.
Kate is the more naturally gifted, but the demands of her life have a tendency to slow her down. Her eight-year-old daughter Sophie dreams of the Death Star and of battling alongside the Rebels as evil white blood cells ravage her personal galaxy — she is fighting a recurrence of the leukemia that nearly killed her three years ago. Sophie doesnt want to stand in the way of her mums Olympic dreams, but each day the dark forces of the universe seem to be massing against her.
Devoted and self-sacrificing Kate knows her daughter is fragile, but at the height of her last frenzied months of training, might she be blind to the most terrible prognosis?
Intense, aloof Zoe has always hovered on the periphery of real human companionship, and her compulsive need to win at any cost has more than once threatened her friendship with Kate — and her own sanity. Will she allow her obsession, and the advantage she has over a harried, anguished mother, to sever the bond they have shared for more than a decade?
Echoing the adrenaline-fueled rush of a race around the Velodrome track, Gold is a triumph of superbly paced, heart-in-throat storytelling. With great humanity and glorious prose, Chris Cleave examines the values that lie at the heart of our most intimate relationships, and the choices we make when lives are at stake and everything is on the line.
"Cleave (Little Bee) goes for the gold and brings it home in his thrillingly written and emotionally rewarding novel about the world of professional cycling. Zoe Castle and Kate Meadows met at age 19 trying out for the British Cycling Team and have been friends and rivals for 13 years now. Kate might have more natural ability, but Zoe is the more driven of the two. Kate is married to a fellow racer, Jack Argall, and they have an eight-year-old daughter, Sophie, who suffers from leukemia. Zoe is pursued by her own demons and has a tabloid reputation for sleeping around, which doesn't sit well with her agent. Things begin to heat up when the International Olympic Committee changes its rules so that only one cyclist, either Zoe or Kate, will be eligible to compete in the 2012 London Games. Cleave expertly cycles through the characters' tangled past and present, charting their ever-shifting dynamic as ultra-competitive Zoe and Kate are forced to decide whether winning means more to them than friendship, building to a winner-take-all race at the Manchester Velodrome. Cleave likewise pulls out all the stops getting inside the hearts and minds of his engagingly complex characters. The race scenes have true visceral intensity, leaving the reader feeling as breathless as a cyclist. From start to finish, this is a truly Olympic-level literary achievement. Agent: Jennifer Joel, ICM." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
"Cleave again displays a remarkable aptitude for rendering female characters with startling realism, one of the strengths of his previous novels (particularly 2009's Little Bee). He conjures Sophie's traumatized yet resilient young mind as deftly as he does the complex interior narratives of high-strung Zoe and the more philosophical Kate....In these breathless portrayals of sport and spirit, Gold illuminates the stories of courage, loss, and commitment that are behind each of the seemingly invincible Olympians we root for every four years." Elle magazine
"After the enormous popular success of his second novel, Little Bee, British author Cleave turns to the world of Olympic speed cyclists to explore the shifting sands of ambition, loyalty and love. Tom, who just barely missed his own medal in 1968, is coaching Kate and Zoe to represent Britain at the 2012 Olympics, which the 32-year-old women know will be their last....[Kate's] little girl Sophie is the novel's real heart. Cleave has a gift for portraying difficult children who pull every heartstring....[He] knows how to captivate with rich characters and nimble plotting." Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Cleave's latest novel demonstrates the determination of three extraordinary athletes in a story about true sacrifice....[Their lives are] so intertwined, so complex, that the outcome is sure to be a surprise. Close on the heels of his international best seller Little Bee, British author Cleave has written another story so riveting that it is impossible to put down." Library Journal (starred review)
"A heartstring-tugger with an adrenaline-fueled plot from the bestselling author of Little Bee." People
"Readers galvanized by best-selling Cleave's previous politically scorching novels (Little Bee, 2009) will be surprised by his foray into the world of Olympic bicycle racing until they discern just how psychologically gripping a tale this is....Spanning the Athens, Beijing, and looming London 2012 Olympics, Cleave's brilliantly plotted, nail-biting, and emotional tale dramatizes the anguish and triumphs of ambition and sacrifice, fame and heartbreak to celebrate the true gold of love." Booklist (starred review)
"Cleave is an acutely intelligent wordsmith. Some of the sentences cut so deep you want to scream out in pain and recognition....This is an inspirational and moving novel in so many ways, and everyone should read it." The Times (UK)
"Strikingly well written...[Gold] has that rare gift of getting past the urban sneer to move and gratify, to stir us because it does, indeed, matter. It is bold and brave and, when you're on your way to the games this summer, and the person opposite you on the train is sobbing hot tears onto their Kindle, you'll have a pretty good idea what they're reading." Observer (UK)
"[Cleave] is such an energetic writer...Gold flows with the vitality of the sport it covers....An entertaining ride." Guardian (UK)
"What counts about this thrilling novel are the characters: the flaws and fears that fuel their need to compete, the drives and dreads that bring them together and threaten to bring them to blows....Chris Cleave deserves a medal." Daily Express (UK), Starred Review
Building on the tradition of Little Bee, Chris Cleave again writes with elegance, humor, and passion about friendship, marriage, parenthood, tragedy, and redemption.
Gold is the story of Zoe and Kate, world-class athletes who have been friends and rivals since their first day of Elite training. They've loved, fought, betrayed, forgiven, consoled, gloried, and grown up together. Now on the eve of London 2012, their last Olympics, both women will be tested to their physical and emotional limits. They must confront each other and their own mortality to decide, when lives are at stake: What would you sacrifice for the people you love, if it meant giving up the thing that was most important to you in the world?

February 19, 2003, Visalia, Calif...At the 109th annual meeting of Sunkist Growers, grower-members and guests looked back at the successes and challenges of the 2001-02 season and forward to the dramatically changing marketplace.
2002 was a successful year for many Sunkist growers, with higher overall fresh fruit revenues and FOBs. It was also a year in which the marketplace spoke clearly about the direction for the future. Growers who produced what the market wanted -- good looking, good tasting, navels, lemons and minneolas for example -- fared well. But those who produced varieties out of favor with consumers -- such as grapefruit, Valencias and orlandos -- did not fare as well.
In 2002 Sunkist marketed 69 million cartons of fruit and generated the highest FOBs in history for a non-freeze year. In navels and lemons, the FOBs were the highest by quite a margin. In all varieties, nature provided a smaller volume crop of nice-looking, good tasting, right-sized fruit. Accurate volume projections helped in setting marketing plans and consistent strong demand drove sales at home and abroad.
The year started with a smaller-than-normal crop of excellent quality, very large-sized navels. The small crop and the quarantine-mandated absence of Spanish Clementines helped ensure consistent movement throughout the season. In addition, good planning and hard work by the sales team kept FOBs up all season long.
For lemon revenue generation, 2002 was Sunkist's best year on record. Short winter crops in Arizona, the California desert and the Central California growing area not only helped drive winter revenues and significantly higher FOBs, but also allowed a smooth transition to Southern California summer fruit. During the summer period, both volume and revenue increased from domestic sales and despite stiff competition from Chile in Japan, good export market information allowed Sunkist to manage the season to generate maximum revenues there also.
In the lemon market too, however, times are changing as the global market becomes much more competitive. Last year, Spanish lemon imports into the U.S. hit a million cartons for the first time and Chilean shipments also hit record levels. The Mediterranean countries are all back into full production. With the disarray in the European market, these producers will ship anywhere they believe they can get some FOB valuation. And they believe they can get it from the U.S. market.
The Valencia crop was an exception to the season's successes as domestic sales reflected the dynamics of the current marketplace. Valencias are becoming less a retail item and more an item for foodservice and wholesale. They also face increasing competition from Australian and South African navels as well as summer fruits and melons.
Despite the tough market, Valencia export sales went well through the end of June until the demand curve shifted, as it always does, to a larger piece of fruit which the southern hemisphere now grows and ships in increasing volumes and at lower prices than we do.
Grapefruit consumption continues to slide. Another double-digit decline saw Florida moving 15 percent less product domestically than the year before. As always, Florida's situation affects Sunkist, it's static supply leaving a shorter opportunity in which to move western product.
An important change in grapefruit movement, however, is the growing separation between the super-red varieties and the traditional ruby grapefruit. All the super-red varieties, especially the Stars, are proving more popular than the regular rubies and commanding significantly higher FOBs.
In export, the Japanese market built a huge backlog of Florida grapefruit and before it could be completely moved, South Africa delivered a million cartons to take its place. A bright light, however, is the resurgence of Sunkist's specialty grapefruit program with its rapidly building sales of Oroblancos, Melogolds and cocktail grapefrui

There are a number of different version of the electronics used in Bosch Group made washing machines and washer dryers that are sold under the Bosch, Neff and Siemens and some of them use the same fault or error codes when they have a problem or a spare part fails.
These are the one of the common sets of fault codes for Bosch washing machine models as well as other Bosch Group produced brands.
These fault codes are displayed by way of lit or flashing light on the front of the washing machine. If it is the latter then you will see a pattern to the flashes if you look closely it will be a series of rapid flashes followed by a pause and then the series of flashes will be repeated, this is the error code being displayed. If you count the number of flashes being given then you use that number to correspond to the fault code, for example, three flashes would be fault code 3.
Please remember to support our site by buying spares from our spare part store here and, if you decide that you really need an engineer please support the local repairers that help make this site possible, you can search for a repairer from the links below.
These fault codes are written for washing machine repairers and not for the general public by Bosch and UK Whitegoods and as such they assume a certain level of competence on the part of the user in diagnostic routines. We have added some notes to try to assist you in determining the nature of the fault you have but, you will still need to investigate each failure on its own merits. For more help and advice on fault finding on a washing machine please refer to our basic fault finding guide from this link before you begin.
Please check that any Bosch washing machine spares recommended are suitable for use on your particular model and ENR code. If you are unsure about the suitability of any spare part please ask to ensure that you get the correct spares for your washing machine. Please, don't guess or assume as spares can be altered on a production run with the same model number having several different alternative components used.
This is our very simple legend to show the state of the lights, lamps or LED's as they are unlit, flashing or lit continuously.
|Light or LED not lit
|Light or LED flashing
|Light or LED lit solid, no flash
The LEDs in these error codes represent the spin, rinse and then wash LED's as you look at them, being either lit or not lit, they should not be flashing.
|Fault Code 1
|Door lock or door error
|Fault Code 2
Drain error
|Fault Code 3
Filling error
|Fault Code 4
Motor error
|Fault Code 5
Water detected in base
We have had reported the addition of the following fault codes via the forums we presume for Bosch WAE washing machiens that have a digital display.
F16: Door lock problem
F17: Inlet valve
F18: Drain pump
F21: Motor
F23: Anti flood system activated
Wash light flashing but no effect on wash: Overfoaming detected, reduce the detergent dose!
If your Bosch washing machine displays something similar to the image then the chances are that the child lock is active. It is possible that this is done inadvertantly.
To set and unset the child lock:
Press and hold the Start/Pause button for 5 seconds after the start/end of the programme.
The childproof lock can remain activated until you wish to start the next programme, even after switching off the machine.
Then you can deactivate the childproof lock before the start of the programme and activate it again as necessary once the programme has started.
Do note that on some models that the child lock can only be released from the program that it was set on so you will need to select the program used when the child lock was set and then unlock it as above.
Should you need more help and guidance please use the links from this article as most of them will help you to understand your Bosch washing machine a lot better and probably very much help you in diagnosing the fault you have. Of course there are many other articles on the site that will also help you do this.
In addition you can post in our help and advice forums after registering but please do pay heed to the information below before doing so and read the guides, they are there to help you.
You must understand certain things before you begin or attempt any repairs on your own and we want to make these points very, very clear to anyone that decides to investigate one of these or any other washing machines:
Please do note that manufacturers can and do change fault codes without notice and we cannot guarantee that these error codes will apply to your particular model as all codes apply to a wide range of appliances and not normally any one specific model. To determine if these fault codes do apply to your particular Bosch washing machine model please post a request to confirm this in the forums.

WE walk around with computers in our pockets. At a moment's notice, you can find the address of the nearest Chinese restaurant, learn whether snow is in tomorrow's forecast, or get a reminder of how to calculate circumference in case of a geometry memory failure.
The truth is we don't generally have an urgent need for all of the information now at our fingertips. We have, however, come to expect it. As they always have, schools are playing a furious game of catch-up, trying to figure out how to harness the power of technology to improve student learning.
Patrons of Putnam City Public Schools will vote next month on a $6 million bond issue dedicated exclusively to technology. If approved, the district plans to buy 10,000 iPads for distribution across the district. The money also would pay for technology for special-needs students and projection equipment for some schools.
The bond proposal follows a privately funded effort last year to provide iPads and related teacher training to some of the district's fifth-grade classrooms. The effort got rave reviews from teachers.
Tulsa Public Schools may not be far behind in putting forth a technology-centered bond issue. A survey of teachers rated the district's technology as "less than acceptable" while describing the importance of classroom technology as "very important" for student achievement. Teachers responded they want Internet access for all classroom computers, a printer/copier/fax/scanner, an iPad for each teacher; a laptop for each student desk or table, and electronic textbooks.
Tulsa teachers are concerned the district is lagging its suburban counterparts in technology. A committee is using the survey feedback in formulating a bond proposal.
"I have long suspected that there are growing disparities in the availability of technology resources at TPS when compared with neighboring school districts. Our students will pay a heavy price if we don't do something to catch up," Tulsa schools Superintendent Keith Ballard said. "With the right tools, I believe our teachers can leverage classroom technology to improve student performance and substantially improve achievement."

Lake County Courthouse Security Mgr. Lt. Paul Havel recently reviewed the completion of the courthouse security system upgrade during a March 4 work session.
The project, which was contracted out to Basin Telecom, a Klamath Falls-based firm, included upgraded IP cameras and ID card-access locks for certain access points of the courthouse. The County approved the contract last summer, with the project's close-out occurring in recent weeks.
Havel noted that the total cost associated with the project came in at $181,331.38, which reflects a lower number than originally budgeted last summer.
"We are able to monitor things we weren't able to monitor previously, and the clarity of the cameras is exceptional," Havel said.
Areas that now feature considerably more coverage include the veteran's services area in the basement of the courthouse and the county vehicle fleet area on the parking lot, said Commissioner Brad Winters and Admin. Asst. Denise Thorsted.
Winters said he would look into a possible reduction in the county's liability insurance as a result of the improved security system.
The Commissioners recently had the opportunity to witness part of the installation during their annual tour of the Lake County Jail facility, where the multi-monitor station is located.
Havel noted that there is a learning curve associated with the system's development and operation, citing employee profile development for certain points of access for certain times of day.
A key asset to the card-lock access system is it affords maintaining access points without the worry of loss of physical keys, improving the factor of individual accountability.
Guest Orlando Gonzales asked if there was a maintenance agreement for the new system. Havel said that the system is under warranty for six years, with maintenance and replacement costs covered under this warranty period.
Havel said there are no additional maintenance costs associated with the installation at this time.

Farewell, Michael Steele
2:26 PM, Dec 13, 2010 • By JAY COST
It was reported over the weekend that Michael Steele, the current chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC), will not be seeking another term. This is not a huge surprise. Steele had long been criticized for his role as the chairman of the RNC, and already several alternative candidates had tossed their hats into the ring.
Early in his term, Steele seemed to have the misimpression that his job as chairman of the RNC was to be the public face of the party. So, he did talk shows, radio interviews and the like, and he made gaffe (after gaffe after gaffe!). But that's not what the RNC chairman is supposed to do. He is not in charge of formulating party policy or even "spreading the word." His job above all else is to raise money, which the RNC then disperses to cash-strapped state party organizations, gubernatorial candidates, and upon occasion to the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) and the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC).
Steele's early gaffes were embarrassing, but mostly just for Steele himself. They also mostly disappeared, so I do not think they are why he has effectively been pushed out. Instead, it must be because he could not raise the cash. The following chart tracks total election year contributions raised by the RNC, NRCC, and NRSC since 2004, the first election cycle since the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (aka McCain-Feingold) took effect.
As you can see, the last few years have not been pretty for the Republican campaign committees. Only the NRSC has improved relative to 2004, and back then it was considered the weak link in the party chain. The NRCC had a superb 2006 cycle, helping to minimize Republican losses that year, but really suffered in 2008. It has since come back, not entirely returning to 2006 levels, but coming close. The fact that Republicans are once again in the majority should contribute to its ability to raise funds.
Unfortunately, it was the RNC that was, far and away, the weakest in 2010, falling substantially off its margins from the previous three cycles. Additionally, the RNC had historically outpaced the NRCC and the NRSC, but this year the NRCC basically caught it in terms of contributions. As much as anything, this was a real surprise. The RNC historically raises much more money than either the NRCC or NRSC, but not in 2010 under the leadership of Michael Steele.
It's worth noting as well that the RNC troubles this cycle were actually worse than this chart demonstrates -- the high dollar donations were down this cycle, and the administrative costs per dollar raised increased.
In the end, this is what did Michael Steele in. He could not raise the money, and that just will not do moving forward. In the battle against Barack Obama and the Democrats in 2012, the Republicans are going to need all the money they can get:
For a new chairman, Republicans should look for somebody who is not interested in making a big splash, who does not view his or her role as going on television to mix it up, who does not appear to be on one massive ego trip. Instead, the party needs a relentless fundraiser who is above all committed to doing the necessary, behind-the-scenes work to help the GOP match the fundraising juggernaut that will be Obama-Biden 2012. That person is not Michael Steele, and it is time to wish him farewell.

What's even rarer than the Artistery's lifespan is its self-sufficient financial structure: In addition to the basement-level venue, the house—nondescript but for a large painted "A" on its side—holds nine artist studios. Those artists, in addition to paying rent, must volunteer at the venue on show nights. The communal nature of the venture not only lends the club character, it has kept it alive.
For the past eight years, Aaron Shepherd has been the ringmaster for the Artistery circus. On his watch, he's seen it go from an insular art experiment to a thriving (entirely secular) venue.
In January, 32-year-old Shepherd learned that the Artistery building had been sold to a large developer (the club's final string of shows is slated for this week) that wanted the building's tenants out immediately. Behind the counter at his in-venue record store, the Biz, Shepherd is cheery despite a chest cold and the pending demolition of a community he has been instrumental in creating. "You never know where life'll take you," he says.
WW: Were you surprised to be kicked out on such short notice?
Aaron Shepherd: It was a surprise. First, [the landlord] asked us if we could get out in 30 days. I didn't see any way it could happen, and it didn't make any sense. All of a sudden there's a "closed" sign on the door? Maybe [the Artistery] isn't the most incredible thing Portland's ever seen, but it meant something to some people. So he ended up giving us 60 days, and we planned the last week of shows.
How did that last week come together?
I'm extremely nostalgic, and so I remembered what I considered the golden years of this place. And I just started calling bands. And everybody said, "Of course." The type of people I wanted to be here were the type of people who wanted to do it. That felt good.
Were you ever shut down by the cops in the early days?
At the [Brooklyn neighborhood] house we were really lucky—we had really loud shows down there, but no one ever complained. So it was kind of a shock when we moved here and cops would show up. The neighborhood just wasn't used to us. There are a lot of stresses running a place like this. If we get shut down, it's not just a venue, there are nine people using studio space here. So it's irresponsible to say, "Yeah, screw it, who cares?"
Do you see a silver lining for all-ages music in Portland?
Absolutely. I mean, it takes a while for you to turn 21 [laughs]. That seems like a very long time when you're in high school or junior high or whenever it is that you decide you want to see live music, and I hope that's motivation for people to start something. There are places that are doing this sort of thing while supporting themselves with alcohol sales—Backspace, Branx—I don't look down on that at all. Art should be available to everyone, so however you can make that happen is cool. It's hard to say that the Artistery is the model, because it's not. It's just a thing that happened for a period of time.
Do you have advice for people who want to start something like Artistery?
I think you just figure out what you want to do, decide if it's a good thing to do or not and then do it. It's so straightforward to me! What else are we here for if not to just go for it? That's what we did. We didn't have a blueprint for this place; it just evolved, and we let it evolve. That's important, too: Don't hold on too tightly to your ideals. Just pick the important ones and stick to those.
SEE IT: The Artistery hosts four final shows this week. See music calendar for details.
