Oakhurst's annual Mountain Heritage Days celebration next month will commemorate a couple of approaching Yosemite anniversaries.
The event at Fresno Flats Historic Park on Sept. 20 and 21 will feature a barbecue, show and parade along with Yosemite-themed activities.
A number of milestones are coming up in Yosemite, the first of which is the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Yosemite Grant on June 30, 1864, by President Abraham Lincoln. The grant set aside Yosemite Valley and Mariposa Grove for preservation and enjoyment.
"The Yosemite anniversaries are a big deal for our area and all the gateway communities. They will really put a spotlight on Yosemite and the surrounding towns. We're excited to be able to host the first anniversary event," said Rhonda Salisbury of the Yosemite Sierra Visitors Bureau, which has worked for more than a year to help honor the creation of Yosemite...

Lotus is not designed to be easy on its tires, it's just slower by a few tenths and lacks the down-force to stress them, which makes the tires last longer. Lotus was howling at the moon about all teams being provided the same tires, to quit whining - which suited them as long as the tires favored them. Well, now the shoe is on the other foot, and guess whose wimping now. As other teams have stepped up their performance on the tires issued, the Lotus advantage of one less stop per race has evaporated. The use of Medium and Hard (roughly equal to last seasons Soft and Medium) on top of Red Bull, Merc. and Ferrari progress will expose Lotus pace for what it was - smoke and mirrors and Kimi skill hiding a slow-ish car - not superior chassis design to suit the tires at all.

Remember the optimist's creed, "If life gives you lemons, make them into lemonade"?
Well, ConocoPhillips and the Colorado Center for Biorefining and Biofuels are trying to do one better in a new, $5 million research partnership:
"If life gives you pond scum, turn it into alternative fuels. And while you're at it, fight global warming."
OK, trying to cram two good ideas into one slogan may make it too long for bumper stickers. But it is a classic example of the creative thinking that promises to reshape Colorado's future while creating jobs in the new energy economy.
Making fuels from pond scum isn't a new idea. Nature thought of it millions of years ago when it covered layers of algae and other organic matter with millions of tons of rock to produce today's deposits of oil and natural gas. But soaring energy prices have encouraged researchers to speed up that natural process.
Algae is very efficient at converting sunlight into oil, so much so that researchers say algae can produce more oil in an area the size of a two-car garage than an entire acre of soybeans. Best of all, in water-short regions like Colorado, algae fuels don't compete for scarce fresh water resources but can use seawater or wastewater to make biodiesel, biogasoline and other biofuels.
That means algae can be grown in areas where human food can't be grown, according to Al Weimer, executive director of the center. And how's this for a kicker: carbon dioxide from power-plant emissions can be used as a feedstock for the algae.
So instead of spewing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere from a coal or natural-gas fired power plant, we can recycle that greenhouse gas into algae-based fuels for cars and trucks — fighting global warming and the OPEC oil cartel at one stroke.
Maybe it's time to stop using "pond scum" as an insult and start using it to save our wallets and our planet.

'Think for yourselves'Tue, 11 Sep 2012 5:05 PM
Striking workers at the Lonmin mine in Marikana must return to work so negotiations can continue, Labour Minister Mildred Oliphant said on Tuesday.
The Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) was still on site and essentially playing a waiting game as the majority of workers refused to return to their posts, Oliphant told reporters in Parliament.
"The peace accord that was signed is clearly set. Workers must go back to work and then the negotiation process will start... Unfortunately, the workers and their representatives still have not pitched for talks," she said.
Oliphant bemoaned the fact that workers, who had not been paid since the wildcat strike started over a month ago, were not taking the decisions themselves.
"They are being led by people who have the means to support themselves, " said Oliphant.
She said there were indications that those who formed part of protests were not only striking workers, but unemployed people as well.
"The issue here is if [the] company decides to close shop, then when they decide to re-open, they won't be forced to employ the same workers.
"You'll find the very same people encouraging these workers not to go back to work, they will be on the front lines to look for jobs."
Oliphant said workers needed to rethink their position and make a decision, as it was having serious repercussions.
"The challenge now is no longer just the issue of rock drillers wanting R12 500. Everybody is now saying he or she wants R12 500."
Oliphant said the government could not force Lonmin to decide to halt operations if production continued to fall.
"It would be unfortunate. It would mean, automatically, people will be dismissed. Again, we are encouraging those workers to go back to work and that's why we've intervened as the department of labour."
The department was in talks with the platinum and gold mining industry, to look at how issues could be identified before the situation got out of hand.
"It can be platinum today, tomorrow it can be the gold industry. We are encouraging them [gold and platinum mine bosses] to reconsider central bargaining so that at the end of the day nobody refers to another mining company to say those workers are getting better salaries and these are not getting better salaries."
Asked whether Lonmin bosses should cave in to the workers demands, Oliphant said this was not for the government to decide.
Oliphant said it was also not for her to comment on whether the demand for a R12 500 salary was realistic.
"I can't respond because I haven't seen their payslips."
However, she did say that workers did not include their benefits, such as living allowances, when they claimed to earn low wages.

A parent in Dakota City is $8,100 richer after auctioning a McDonald's McNugget on eBay, the Sioux City Journal reported.
Did it bear a resemblance to the Virgin Mary? No, it supposedly looks like the father of our great country, America's first president, George Washington.
Rebekah Speight noticed the chicken nugget when cleaning up after her kids. That was three years ago. Ever since, the nugget's been in her freezer, and she'll ship it to the winning bidder in dry ice once she receives her payment.
Do you see the resemblance in the photo above? Regardless, the McNugget captivated people worldwide, and the Sioux City Journal noted the eBay page received 44,795 views with 1,610 people actively watching the auction.

Hi!my name is William.here is the deal,I wanna be honest,
I am a jerk that convinced a wonderful woman from Germany,6 years ago,to leave everything behind,her family,her home,her country,her job....for me and to come with me to the US cause I wanted to find my Dad,who is from Texas and I had not seen in 20 years after my German mom and he got divorced...
my wife Silvia loves me so much,that she actually gave it all up,the real deal,just so she can be with me.
we went to an awful lot over here,homelessness while she was pregnant,poverty,sickness etc.,but still I am an American and never wanted to go back to Germany,which is why she is still here,because she loves me and she is a Catholic and truly believes in marrying just ones a lifetime and putting husband and kids above everything.
Unfortunately her mom passed away in 2010 of lung cancer and due to me denying my permission for my wife to take our daughter Sophie to Germany,my wife had not been able to see her mom before she died and still did not have a chance to say goodbye to her at her grave...or to reunite with her sister and family back home.
a flight to Germany for one person right now is about 800/850 Dollars and for both of them would be around 1700 Dollars at the moment and my wife wishes for nothing more but to be able to take our daughter and visit her sister, aunts, cousin and mom's grave...
I really don't have the money for that nor will I in the near future and I truly feel sorry for having done this to my wife.she is the most kind person I ever met,honest,kind,loving,funny and a true Christian and all I did over here was preventing her from going back home.I've cheated on her when times were really hard and I just couldn't deal with all the pressure and still she remains faithful and gives it her all.She's got heart problems,which force her to seek medical care all the time,which of course weighs financially a lot on us so I truly don't have the money for the flight.I am not in the Army,only an "Army Brat" that was torn between two parents and came back home to the US to find my roots,my Dad etc.and she has suffered so much to help me fulfill my dream,so please,anybody out there,that has a Dollar spare,help me fulfill her dream and if you don't have a Dollar,but extra miles with an airline,help me getting the flight for those two to Germany!
Thanks so much for taking the time and reading this!
God bless you!

I'm into catheters and urethral stretching. I have used various items from tools to knitting needles. I have a tapered "penis" shaped tooth brush. I cut the brush end off and then stick it in as far as it will go. Once it becomes painful, I leave it in for 1/2 hour then remove. I do this every other day. I can get 3/8 of an inch in comfortably. Going for at least 1/2 inch.
Re: Catheter and urethral stretchingSun, March 22, 2009 - 4:06 PMTom.
Dang, have you ever had any infections.
Do you sterilize your equipment?
How about posting a few pics for us to see
Re: Catheter and urethral stretchingThu, July 2, 2009 - 1:25 PMHi YA dj....Mike Here, I'm in the Silicon Valley of The San Francisco Bay Area. I've been Rodding since I was 12 and I'm now 54 I've never had any problems. Of course I wipe my knitting Needles down 3 times each with 99% alcohol and3 times with Betadine solutiuon. I wash my hands and Dick 3 times with Anti-Bac soap. Ask anything you like...I'm NOT shy....don't You be either Lets Chat Have Fun C-YA Mike
Re: Catheter and urethral stretchingTue, July 7, 2009 - 7:11 AMI started when I was 12, also with knitting needles, I did notknow what it was call till about three years ago when I first bought a sounding set.. I do enjoy my sounds I also play with a catherer once.
Re: Catheter and urethral stretchingMon, July 27, 2009 - 9:47 PMGlad to hear about guys being just as curious about sticking things in their holes as I was at that age.
Sounds fascinate and arouse me, ever since I first saw them at Leather Masters when I was 18 and just emerging onto the scene. I was an assistant to a Pro Domme who used a catheter as part of an elaborate medical scene (4 days long!). I was her naughty nurse but so far have not indulged since.
I think many men are frightened of the experience. Is it the social ramifications of being penetrated? Fear of being hurt?
Re: Catheter and urethral stretchingThu, July 30, 2009 - 8:59 AMit is the fear of pain honestly. I quite enjoy being penetrated like that and than being forced to orgasm around it.
Re: Catheter and urethral stretchingSat, August 1, 2009 - 7:07 PMI bought stainless steel rods from speedymetals dot com. They come VERY rough and sharp on the ends. I used a hand held grinder to round the tips off and then polished with emery cloth 600 grit and worked my way to 1200grit, 1800 grit and finished with 2000 grit. My 1/4" sound is shiny as a mirror and smooth as silk. I am only using the 1/4" diameter rod right now. It's 8" long.
I always boil the sound for 15 minutes first and place on freshly laundered towels before use. Always wash my cock and hands in anti-bacterial soap first. I've been sounding this way for 6 months and no problems.
Would like to move up to a 5/16" rod and then a 3/8" rod.
Re: Catheter and urethral stretchingWed, August 5, 2009 - 5:21 PMI just purchased a sound set from a sex toy site online. Damm, With your skills you could build some very cool toys.
Re: Catheter and urethral stretchingFri, November 20, 2009 - 7:49 PMmy goal is to get my whole index finger in. I would like to buy some sounds, but don't know what size to order.
Re: Catheter and urethral stretchingWed, November 25, 2009 - 8:39 PMGetting your index finger in sounds like a lofty goal. Why don't you buy a set of sounds with a variety of sizes? I have bought them separately starting with a very small one and worked my way up. I don't have a stretching goal; I just enjoy the feel of the metal inside my dick.
Let us know how it goes.
Re: Catheter and urethral stretchingWed, June 9, 2010 - 7:04 AMDoes your cock really like being penetrated like that? Most likely I have the fear even when I'm trying to imagine all those tortures. Yeap, I also would like to see some pics of yours, is it possible somehow? Well, it seems to me you may enjoy some of the penis extenders with kind of steel needles build in. Good Luck!
Re: Catheter and urethral stretchingMon, June 28, 2010 - 8:46 PMMan, get yourself a set of sounds. Go anywhere, recon.com, 665, anywhere that deals in fetish and kink will have them. A set of sounds will be a variety of sizes, allowing you to start out small and stretch your pisser with the larger sounds. i can almost get my pinky finger into my pisser and i do not have small hands/fingers.
Re: Catheter and urethral stretchingSat, July 31, 2010 - 2:50 PMThat is so cool. I have made sounds from stainless rods. Was at 1/4 now going to stretch to3/8 rod. The feeling is awesome.
Re: Catheter and urethral stretchingMon, August 2, 2010 - 1:58 PMI've just been reading the responses and it sure feels good to be "home". I am just getting into sounding (no, lets make sounding with sounds), but have longed loved shoving something up my cock. A major goal of mine is to stretch enough to get a really nice large princes' wand to wear all the time. I would love to be able to change ends as the mood alters. I would also love to have a camera run up my uretha to see myself from the inside as far as it would take me. I know that there is a procedure for that - just not sure what its called. Any MDsor tech following this? help please.
Re: Catheter and urethral stretchingTue, August 3, 2010 - 8:18 AMLove all the posts - it is really fun to stretch the urethra in the cock area, but I think stretching the urethra all the way to the prostate might be risky in terms of a urethral tear. I have been stretching my urethra for decades,and just recently managed to get my second knuckle of my little finger inside my cock. Still working on getting the 16 mm hegar into the cock. All I have been using is 99% isophroyphl on the insertion tools, and precum as lube whenever I can. I have been inserting 13, 14, and 15 mm Hegars without added lube to keep them in for some lenght of time. It is really fun to pull them out and see my cock stretch out.
Re: Catheter and urethral stretchingTue, August 3, 2010 - 10:54 PMMy wife has managed to insert her index finger through my incision and out through my meatus.....its a great feeling. It tore the first time, but is ok now. I love tickling the tip of her finger when its fully inserted.
I tried to get my 15mm (id = 25mm) tribal dream ring inserted, after wearing my 10mm one for 6 months. It just wouldn't go all the way through. I tried a 12mm but it wouldn't get past and into my glans. Sadly. I have some work to do....maybe even have to do some cutting.
I'll need some help with that, but don't want any painkillers or numbing agents.

Re: Catheter and bladder toysTue, September 14, 2010 - 9:59 PMWhen you have advanced to the stage of Urethral Play that you can insert a 60" computer power cord , with a tear-drop end on it, slowly into a bladder filled with waer and air, then I say you have ARRIVED (as I have) at the maximum adult play level. Now the big question is how long can you keep this coiled in your bladder for fun and play and then more importantly, can you slowly remove it before the bladder muscles began ejection spasms and remove it without it becoming KNOTTED up inside. Now, man that is the story for the day. Anyone want to take x-rays of me doing this just call......
Re: Catheter and urethral stretchingMon, January 10, 2011 - 5:44 AMHello Tom. I like tube sounding. I use Hegar sound´s and insertion of sound´s to my uretahra is great pleasure for me.
Re: Catheter and urethral stretchingWed, April 6, 2011 - 8:14 AM
Using something with a rounded end, push a condom all the way down your cock until you just about lose it. Then, with a syringe pump in air (or honey, or water or whatever).
Using air, the condom will inflate all the way to your bladder neck, and beyond, giving you that whooooo-hoooooo sensation that you never want to end.
Re: Catheter and urethral stretchingWed, April 6, 2011 - 8:56 AMPHX guy here. Have been rodding since my 20's Love the feeling, pleasure and pain. Over the years, guess my hole has stretched a bit, but just enjoy the scene with caths or sounds. Also like in the middle of a rodding session, to add a little alcohol on the sound. Great burn all the way down. Yeah, enjoy all kinds of piss hole play. Any locals?
Re: Catheter and urethral stretchingSat, May 7, 2011 - 6:57 AMI've been poking smooth things (found that out the hard way ...haarrr) down my willy since about 24 hrs after my first hard-on.
Knitting needles, plastic tube, lots of little ball bearings, birthday candles.
Greatest turn-on was when something disappeared inside and there was a moment of doubt if it would ever be seen again. Even better when the moment turned into a half-hour. :)))
Then I got a syringe and found air went in really well, especially when the pressure burst up into my bladder. Oh yeah! And again and again. My cock farted for the next 2 days. :-D
Going further: a yard of plastic tube (with a rounded end) slid in until it reached my bladder muscle .... eyes rolled back ... ohh godddd. Back out then back in again ... oh goddd oh goddd oh godddd... then continued in and I could feel it coiling up inside my bladder. Just as well I didn't have 20 feet. =D
Then I stuck a needle thru the front of the head and thru the tube to stop it coming out. (Did I mention I had discovered cock piercing? mmmmm ...)
I've got some scanned pics somewhere on an old hard drive which I'll dig out and post.
Next step: how to stuff in thicker things?
Well I tried stretching, but it took too long and stung too much.
Looking at my cock - it seemed to have this perfect join-line straight down underneath the head. Almost saying: "open here". Which I did, over time.
Anyway one nick lead to another and another and now I have a completely split cock-head and I can stuff in almost anything I want.
Even more surprising: after visiting so many cock-mod sites the sight of an un-split cock looks really abnormal. Haarrrrr ...:)))
Funnily enough, after I first saw a pic of a completely split cock about 10 years ago there was something in the back of my head telling me I'd taken the first step on a slippery slope.
It's turning out to be true.
I mean - after you've done everything you can think of with it in the SEX spectrum and you're still looking for new horizons then where do you go? Answer: "I know. I'll split it down the middle. That will take my mind off things for a while". :)
Wrong. Then you discover your scrotum. :-D . Whoever would have thought scrotums could be so much fun ....
As for the ppl who say many males are a bit frightened of urethral adventure, I say pisshh tossshhhh! Maybe some are, but I'll bet the bulk have been so puritanically brainwashed that they're afarid to touch their Willy to have a pee.
The remainder are us Renegades. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeee .... Haaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr .... and don't look back :)
Re: Catheter and urethral stretchingFri, October 7, 2011 - 2:50 AMFirst it was just a curiosity... and I tried to stick in the glass rod used in flower pots. I've just washed it with soap...
Later on I've discovered material on sounding... and bought my first stainless steel sound - not very thick, but still, it's one of the best things I've ever bought. Before playing - as I have no pressure-sterilizer - I usually take the steel rod and put it into gas-stove flame for a minute, then cool down in the water... and play. I hope that's enough for the sterilization...
The bigger problem is the choice of right lube - water/silicon mixture was a pit burning, pure water based is drying to quickly...
I'd like to try wider ones, even catheter (to push it farther), but besides really pleasurable feelings, there is some stinging pain deep down in my urethra (and especially, after i cum)... I don't know, if it is some old tissue defect down there, or what - but sometimes it's sensitive over the pleasure point...
Re: Catheter and urethral stretchingFri, October 7, 2011 - 7:48 AMA glass rod, Pixliac? Hope no one else tries that one!
As a teenager I was once about to do a little play with warm water and my mom's glass turkey baster. The thing shattered--but fortunately not the tip of it that was in my dick. There was a lot of explaining to do when everyone else got home. But not nearly as much as there would have been if there had been blood on the floor.
Re: Catheter and urethral stretchingSun, October 30, 2011 - 1:30 PMThe problem is not the depth, the diameter of the Hegar Sounds is the problem.
The urethra is to leave after the constriction of the urethra at the mouth wide enough to pass even more sounds, for example, 15-20mm.
The urethral opening to stretch, however, is very tedious, it took me years to now be able to launch 12 mm.
I've cut myself with 47 years a meatotomy even say that I'm the ostium Externa (the urethral opening) at 12 and 6 clock expanded somewhat. The advantage is that you can easily insert plugs or sounds for electric masturbation into the sterile urethra. I think it looks very good. And I've reached a slot length of about 18mm.
I started with 6mm sounds despite meatotomy it very painful.
Extra attention is at 6 clock there, I would not cut it too far because then urinate when the drop comes and you can only urinate sitting down. Clock at 12 you have to watch that one, it touches on the cavernous not bleed very much else.
The problem is not the urethral opening, but the narrowness which is located on the lower side at the level of gloss Frenulumansatzes. Since I am currently on stretching and have achieved so far 12 mm diameter so that I can now wear a 10mm Prinzenzeper. There, I do not want to cut because otherwise the meatotomy is too large. Next I'd like to try a Dillator 12.5 mm, but this is a lengthy procedure. Now I've got a 12mm Dillator pure. We are getting there.

After a few more days in Antigua, getting the bikes and our minds ready for some cycling, we finally got on the road. We lucked out and were gifted with an overcast day and 20 miles of downhill on the nicest road Ive seen in Guatemala and coasted into the hot and humid lowlands passing farmland and company names like Del Monte and Dole. We couldnt have asked for a better first day back on the bike. While cycling the flat terrain on my refurbished ride I smiled and gave thanks for such a quality road, staring at the wonderful and massive Ceiba trees we passed along the roadside. The Ceiba, Guatemalas national tree, has a thick trunk which makes it a standout among other species, not to mention its huge shade giving canopy. During our guide through Tikal, we learned the ancient Mayans revered this tree as sacred and often held ceremonies at its base. The Ceibas cultural significance, paired with it being blessing with poor lumber quality, grants us the opportunity to see so many of these tropical giants still standing today. Surprisingly, we passed the 100 kilometer mark and rolled into Chiquimulilla to spend the night, preparing for an earlier than expected arrival to the Guatemalan border with El Salvador the next evening. Well, so much for plans! Our next day was an ass kicking grind uphill to the town of Cuilapa. The heat was intense, my legs were in shock and cramping, and I ran out of water. I even stopped to hitchhike the rest of the way but of course was met with a dry spell in traffic! So, in the end, we made it under our own power, tired and sore, but sure enough on our way to getting back into shape. The next day we crossed the border into El Salvador.
We had spent about 2 months in Guatemala, and less than two weeks of that was on bike! No matter, I for sure enjoyed what this beautiful country had to offer, the mountains, Lago Atitlan, Tikal Ruins, Rio Dulce, Caribbean Coast, the people, the cultures. My expectations were once again met and exceeded.

Version 2.99 is the last version that is guaranteed to compile from the
LaTeX sources initiated in December 2003. Content has all migrated
to an XML format, using a one-off conversion process, custom XML tags
and LaTeX syntax for in-line and displayed mathematics.
Changes to the LaTeX sources subsequent to Version 2.99 are
designed to support the automated conversion to XML and some
new environments (e.g. "introduction", "para", "graphics") are
not implemented in the corresponding style files. Additional
content has been integrated, such as Tikz graphics and the Sage
v2.99 source (as published, or with additions) may be recreated
in two ways:
(a) rolling back to the version "2.99" Mercurial tag (published version)
(b) in the new "latex" subdirectory (source with additions).

v2.90 2012/06/17
The inner product is now "reversed" from what it was formerly.
Specifically, the entries of the *first* vector are conjugated now.
This will make properties for numerous matrix decompositions and other
aspects of orthogonality simpler and more natural. This is already
evident as several proofs have been shortened and simplified.
Definition IP - root cause
Theorem IPSM - now scalar multiples of first vector
"come out" conjugated
Theorem MMIP - conjugate and transpose both now affect first vector
Theorem GSP - order in inner products reversed. Necessary for the proof
but also preserves any existing computations
Theorem COB - order in inner products reversed. Necessary for the proof
but also preserves any existing computations
Proofs - Many proofs depend on the five items above and have been
rewritten. Generally they are equivalent or simpler. These
changes are not documented here. See the revision history, which
is organized by section, or search on uses of the theorems above.
Limitations - Changes only go through Section CB. Remaining sections will
be adjusted as edited.

The Folsom Middle School eighth-grade girls' basketball team got the best kind of revenge a team can get.
After losing twice to Marina Middle School during the regular season, the Jaguars finally got the win in the biggest game of the season, defeating Marina, 40-39, in the Foothill Athletic League championship game played Feb. 21. The losses, while painful, provided the fuel for the team's drive toward a league title.
"The first time we played them we lost by 10 points at their place, but the second time we lost was even worse because we were up by five points late and lost by two at our place," Folsom coach Vince Isbell said. "That loss opened their eyes, though. The girls knew that they could beat them and really wanted to win the first championship since 2008."
In the championship game, the Jaguars held a three-point lead late in the game thanks to a couple of late free throws. Marina attempted a three-pointer late and missed, but got the rebound and scored to make it a one-point game, but time ran out.
"The biggest key to the win was our defense," Isbell said. "Emily Anderson played great defense on their leading scorer. She had been averaging something like 18 points and Emily held her to two. We played great defense as a team and eliminated mistakes. I had a feeling we were going to beat them. The girls really had grown as players during the season and they played great."
Isbell benefited from an experienced team, as eight of the 11 players played on the team last season.
"The strength our team was leadership and teamwork," Isbell said. "It was never about me with these girls, but always about the team. They all contributed in different ways."
Members of the team include Paige Andersen, Emily Anderson, Cassidy Merlo, Hannah Trengove, Jordan Conneely, Katelin Godwin, Haley Cruz, Siena Miller, Mikayla Totushek, Sam Selenis and Sydney Larocca.

As some of you know I have begun the enviable task of researching for a new bike. The Ol' P8 has been a great workhorse, a steel steed!. However the time has come to find something with brakes etc. I'll keep the P8 in original equip for rides with my children on Sundays, polished to a sheen!
In speaking with a good friend this week, he mentioned to me that the most important item was the frame, fit, etc. (even I knew that). In his research he listed the second most important component to be the wheels (hubs & rims). bye the bye, his midlife crisis bike is a Colnago. The last concern was the gear components, (as long as reputable).
I was surprised by this order. There is a logic to it, but I want to know the thoughts of the rest of my expert forum friends. In anticipation I thank you for your input
