Van Nuys News And The Van Nuys Call, The (Newspaper) - October 17, 1913, Van Nuys, California i For Htu I (Substantial Develou- Wnt of Onr Town J and Valley THE VAN NUYS A PAPER For the PEOPLE AND THE VAN NUYS CALL VOLUME III VAN NUYS, CALIFOKNIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBKR NUMBER 7 MORE ACTIVITY IN POULTRY BUSINESS NEW CHICKEN RANCHES START AROUND VAN NUYS Arrival of D.W.Batchelor fromPetaluma Gives Fresh Impetus to the Prospects Very Bright VAN NUYS BUSINESS BUILDINGS FILL UP Reports of new auditions to the ranks of the poultry men continue to come in, and the influence of the movement for a chicken colony in the Van Nuys district is being felt in ad- joining sections of the San Fernando Valley. For example, the San Fernando Press says: "Mr. Johnson of Holly- wood, owner of a ten-acre ranch one mile west of San Fernando, has let the contract for the erection of a new house on the property. Mr. Johnson intends to establish a mod- ern chicken ranch." As published in the News a short time ago, William McGann will'start a chicken ranch on his ten acres north of Van Nuys this winter. Max Pfafflnger, who has a place on the boulevard west .of Van Nuys, also plans to put in poultry this winter and is making his preparations now. The coming of D. W. Batchelor from Petaluma has given an impetus to poultry affairs. Mr. Batchelor is an expert in the real estate end of the business and a red-hot live wire as a business man. He will occupy quarters in the Tract Office at Van Nuys jointly with Lemay Bevis, and work in conjunction with them He plans to erect a resilience on North Van Nuys acres as soon as pos- sible and will make his home here. Work on O. B. Hubbell's home at North Van Nuys Acres is progressing satisfactorily and the walls are up and the contractors rushing their op- erations. In this connection it may be re- marked that prospective chicken rais- ers are apparently just beginning to grasp the fact that a novice can go into the business here with the best chance in the world for succeeding! from the start wuiioui expensive losses through inexperience. All he needs to do is to follow in- structions, for Mr. Hubbell, recog- nized expert, places his years of ex- perience at the disposal of all chick- en men in this section, absolutely without charge. Another of the new ranches to be started here soon will be that of Mr. Koeppel, son of Oscar 0. Koeppel of Portland. As Mr. Koeppel motored over the boulevard through Marian that he became interested and purchased ten acres at Marian for the younger Mr. Koeppel, which he will put into a. (scientifically conducted poultry and pigeon ranch. In this connection it may be re- marked that the Van Nuys poultry- men are not taking special interest in the coming poultry show in Los Angeles this winter. The Van Nuys chicken ranches are primarily com- mercial propositions, and commercial poultry does not cut much figure at the poultry shows. But it is in the egg market Van Nuys will be heard from season. One of the significant indications of the growth of Van Nuys is found in the filling up of the vacant store buildings. Four of the vacant store rooms have been occupied within the last two weeks, another has been rented and several inquiries have been made for store rooms within tiie last few days. The double brick between C and D on Sherman Way belonging to Bout- tier has been leased by T. H. Talbot, and his ad. appears in this issue. J. F. O'Donnell has rented the Miles building and opened a barber shop. George C. Smith has opened a shoe and harness repair shop in the Honey- man building on West C street, and his ad. appears this week. The Consolidated Lumber Company has decided to open an oilice in Van Nuys and may later decide to put in a yard here. W. R. MacWilliams, formerly with the Hammond Lumber Company, will have charge, and his wide acquaintance with Van Nuys people should insure the new com- pany doing its share of business. J. P. Tyler of Los Angeles has un- der consideration the establishing of a branch of his electrical goods store here, and a Mr. France of Los An- geles looked over the ground here with regard to starting a photograph studio. Van Nuys is growing in a business way and prospects for a still more rapid growth are excellent. VAN NUYS HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS HONORED IN HOLLYWOOD HIGH Considering number of pupils Van full attending Hollywood High from Nuys, this town is getting its share of honors. Cecil Forbes is playing on the foot- ball team and has just been elected class president of the Junior class. Miss Catherine Lennox has been elected president of the Girls' Chorus. D. A. BEVIS WINS MATRIMONIAL RACE BEATS ANDREW AND JOHNSTON TO MISS BESSIE DELZELL OF NEWTON, ILL., AT LOS ANGELES TUESDAY TO START MOVING r i nf 17 E.MLI 1UA1 ORGAN COMPANY TO USE IMMENSE CAVALCADE OF HEAVY AUTO TRUCKS ON "MOVING DAY" Will Have About Worth of Work to Start Out With in Their New Factory of Workmen and Mechanics Coming Moving the machinery and equip- ment of the Johnston Organ and Pi- ano company into its new factory building will commence next week, and before thirty days elapse, the company will be operating in its new quarters. The officials and head men of the company are bending every energy to perfect the moving plans so thai there will be as little derangement of the work and as little interruption as possible, and to that end it is prob- able that one department will be moved at a time. Trucks and auto vans will be used for the moving, and if plans suggested are carried out, "moving day'1 will look like the old days of the almost forgotten "wagon shows." These plans contemplate having all the vans loaded at once and then travel from Los Angeles to Van Nuys in company, with sides decorated with banners advertising Van Nuys and the John- ston Organ company. For weeks past the company's force in the city factory has been working until late at night finishing up orders now in hand, in preparation for the moving. The company is now laying off 25 per cent of its men for four or five days, to allow them to have a chance to visit Van Nuys and try to get located- here. As soon as one section gets back to work the next section is laid off. It is very apparent, however, that all of the men are not going to be able to secure houses here, as there are several times as many families as there are vacant places in the town. To accommodate those who will have to livs in the city tempo- rarily, or those who own their homes there ,and desire to sell if possible before they move, the company will iiiu an aufu bus bc-twceu IIo'uyv.OGcl and Van Nuys night and morning, for the time being, so that employes who must go back and forth to work will have the advantage of the 5-cent city fare. This will not be a permanent arrangement, however. The building was turned over to the company's representatives by ihe Engstrum company, the contractors, last Monday. The officials of the company have been out here several times this week looking over the structure, and declare themselves highly pleased, especially with the big show room, which has acoustic properties possessed by no other similar room of which any of the organ people know. Three other buildings are to be started west of the main building as soon as the company can get to it. Two will be large stock rooms, and the third will be the engine room. The Johnston company will start operations in the new building with nearly worth of contracts on the books and with other prospects for big work in sight. that next CHURCH NOTES Methodist.

When Dell Bevis bade William An- drew and Robert Johnston bon voyage on their recent departure for the east search of wives, he jocularly re- marked that he might "beat them to it." But it was said so casually that uc one who heard it took him seri- ously. But he kept his word. Last Mon- day evening he slipped out to Los Angeles, met Miss Dessie Delzell, of Newton, 111., at the depot at the next morning, and they were quietly married by the Rev.

November 2nd. row and Mr. Johnston will become a benedict next' Tuesday. It was no hasty wedding, however. Mr. Bevis had been acquainted with Miss Delzell for many long years in his home town of Newton, nnd a Mr. Muslienrow of Chicago and he had monopolized the company of "the Del- zell twins" for nearly two years. Therefore, when he left for Cali- fornia to go into business and Tres- sie Delzell became Mrs. Muslienrow and movpd to Chicago, it left her sis- ter decidedly lonely. That is not saying that Mr. Bevis was not homesick either, and the joint result was a series of letters that end- ed up in telegrams nnd a journey half across the continent by the young lady to become Mrs. Bevis. Mr. and Mrs. Bevis returned to Van Nuys Wednesday afternoon, and took up their quarters in the Shinners apartments, where they gave a recep- tion Thursday evening to their friends. Tt was n nnjpy Avelronlp that was ao corded them by the Van Nuys young men. but afterward the occasion be- came a very pleasant social function. Mr. Bevis has purchased lots 7, S and 17, in block 18. running through from Seventh to G street, between Fig- ueroa and Van Ness, and will build himself a nice residence next spring. The bride was Miss Delzell. daugh- ter of 11 r. and Mrs. George Delzell of Newton. 111., her father being a suc- cessful contractor of that. city. The Beviri brothers are recoil' cool- ers to Van Nuys. but in the brier time since they entered business 'iie'.'o they have made a large number of friends. Mr. and Mrs. Ilevis have been busy receiving congratulations since their home coming, and The News joins in vishinsr them a long and happy mar- ried life. IMPRESSIONS OF A NON-RESIDENT INVESTOR Vfln Nnvc Wpwq When I first visited the incompar- able San Fernando valley and the city of Van Nuys, I was indeed pleased beyond my power to tell. This much I will say, after having visited all of the great valleys of all of the western mountain states: I be- lieve without a question of doubt that the possibilities of this great valley, its close proximity to the fast- M1DWINTER NUMBER OF LOS ANGELES TIMES est growing the world, Los MANY A.TTENDED AUCTION Quite a large number of Van Nuys people attended the auction at Zelzah Wednesday of the personal farm property of J. I'. Wright, who has sold his lease and is about to remove to Sonoma county. The horses and mules brought only a fair figure, lull some of the imple- ments and other articles brought prices that were considered very high, according to those who attended I lie "It was to good remarked one of the spectators. "Everytliir.K was fixed up to look good. i hat was the secret of the high prices." Angeles, is sure to make it one of the richest spots or. earth for its size. And as a seque! of this belief, my- self and familj took advantage of what I think a great opportunity and bought a few acres on Sherman Way, near your beautiful town of Van Nuys. It is our purpose to hold this invest- ment as a sort of nest egg. I cannot refrain from saying that the efforts of the Suburban Homes Company in developing this great val- ley and the towns they have built along Sherman Way eclipse anything 1 have seen or heard of. When it is remembered that in addition to what that company and the Van Nuys peo- ple have done and will continue to do you can't stop are also to have the Owens River water, I feel confident that your population will increase at a rate that will as- tonish the closest observers. I have been getting your paper since last spring, so that I could keep in touch with your growth, and it has been a source of great satisfaction to read from week to week of the tilings that you are doing in your city and the valley in general. optiinistTc spirit that you are showing and putting forth from time to time tor the betterment of your people and community. Witli a perpetuation of this spirit, with all that, goes to make up your wonderful valley. I bespeak for the citizens of that, section a growth the like of which has not boon seen in the great state of Cali- fornia. More could be said along these linos, but why need a non-resident en- tor into a general discussion of the merits of the proposition. 1 am sure all of your people abundantly under- stand. So. then, in view of all that you have in this favored spot, together with what 1 observed when there last winter. 1 am forced to the conclusion I. N. PAUL. Perry, la.. Oct. 7. 1913. forthcoming edition of the in- Midwinter Number of the Los Angeles Times to be issued auoui January 1, 1914, promises to surpass all previous issues of this intensively inteiesting and beautifully illustrated magazine. It will graphically describe and realistically picture the climatic charms and scenic grandeur of happy, sun-kissed Southern California, and will be redolent of the fragrance and .uty which here abound throughout the year. The achievements of the splendid men and women who are building an empire in the Southwest will be de- tailed, and the unprecedented devel- opment and progress made by South- ern California in commerce, manuiac- turing, agriculture, science, art and civic growth will be enlarged upon. The" 1914 Midwinter Number of the Los Angeles Times, comprising five magazine sections, aggregating 160 pages, will be out January 1, and it will contain more authentic and trust- worthy information about California, exploit its marvelous resources to greater extent, and describe more line or VAN NUYS BEATS FAST GLENDALE BALL TOSSERS Stung by the fact of two successive defeats, the Van Nuys "Boosters" went into the game with Glendale last redeem their reputation, and the amount of ''pep" exhibited by the home players was surprising. The game was the best seen on the local grounds and ended by a score of 4 to 1 in favor of Van Nuys. With Harry Clever, the second baseman, back in his old position, the local boys showed their spirit and confidence by a snappy preliminary practice, and this spirit was kept up all through the game. After blanking the visitors in their half of the opening round, Van Nuys went right out after blood. Capt. Nordvold, the first man up, picked out a nice one and lifted it over the head of the Glendale centerfielder, taking two stations on the clout. Then he stole third on the next ball pitched, and when Marple, the visit- ing catcher, overthrew third in an ef- fort to catch him, the "Booster" cap- tain scampered home. Apparently this cyclone style of at- tack took the heart out of the oppos- ing tpp.m for thpy failed tn rellanes for more than four hits, while their twirler was touched up for eight, three of which were two-bag- gers by Nordvold, Clever and Arrel- lanes. Smock scored in the fourth inning, Arrellanes in the fifth and Eniory in the seventh. Glendale's single tally was made in the fifth by Marple. Gibson played a steady game at first, varied by a couple of successful stabs for wild throws that were bril- liant. Smock distinguished himself by a catch of a hard fly back of short, after a swift rush to reach it. The GREAT PROBLEM BEFORE VALLEY ANNEXATION OR A WATER DIS- TRICT TO BE DECIDED New Annexation Commission of City Issues of Best Legal Advice by Valley Committee Annexation, a condition precedent to any outside territory securing the Owens River water, is an ultimatum laid down at a meeting of the new Annexation Commission of Los An- geles, held Tuesday evening in the oflice of Mayor Rose. This was the first meeting of the commission, which is composed of Mayor Rose, Councilman Betouski, E. R. Hewitt, George Harrison, former entire team played splendid ball. In J. F. O'Donnell Van Nuys is for- tunate in securing an umpire who knows the game, is impartial, accu- rate and exceptionally satisfactory. BENEFIT DANCE FOR FIRE BOYS NEW PIANO FACTORY BUILDING ORCHESTRA WILL FURNISH THE MUSIC- LADIES HAVE REFRESH- MENTS IN CHARGE- GOOD TIME SURE Plans for a benefit dance tor tne newly organized volunteer fire depart- ment promise to result in a "func- tion" that will eclipse the ball given by the baseball club some months ago. The new piano factory building has been secured, and this afford accommodations for golden opportunities in every human endeavor than any other mag- azine ever offered to the public. This elaborate, comprehensive spe- cial edition will be invaluable to every resident of this commonwealth. It will point the way to happiness and fortune to people in other sections of the country whose eyes are turned Westward. California cannot be advertised in a better or more effective way than by sending to out-of-town friends a copy of the forthcoming Midwinter Number of the Los Angeles Times, which in ever-.- respect, will be the master prod- uct of American journalism. Tlie price is 10 cents a copy, wrap- ped for mailing; postpaid 15 cents. MAKING LONG AUTO TRIP L. K. Raukiu of Petoluma, who is now interested in the Van Xuws tract left Petolumn Tuesday evening in' new auto to make the trip overland to Van Nuys. DiiriiiK the last few months Mr. Rankin has made many trips between the two towns, using rail and boat. so this will lie a new experience and give him a bettor chance to compare values eiirouto with his Van Nuys holdings. Six houses were cut in on the new extension of the Kdison company on Kast C street last Friday. The bouses were those of Messrs. Wilson. Smofk. Price. Goodhue, Orrell and Welling. The "juice" has long been needed on C street, and tills improvement is very welcome to residents of that sec- tion. As street, extension R. M.

The plans have all boon j prepared and approved, so that noth ing stands iu the wny of its speedy const ruction. Word was recently received by R. M. Lamoreaux, editor of the Owens- mouth Gazette, of the death of his father. Henry C. l.amorenux, at ills home in Hat tic Creek, Mich., at I lie ago of SO years, lacking a few days. Deceased was n retired business man. a Christian, and his death ends a life that had been exemplary and filled witli useful labor. Mr. Lam- oreaux will have the sympathy of manv frionds in his loss. the crowd. The Masonic hall was un- comfortably crowded when the base- ball dance was given, but the crowd at the firemen's ball is expected to be bigger. Because of the fact that the com- pany was planning to move into the building at once, haste was necessary, but the members of the department have worked hard to give the neces- sary publicity in the short time al- lowed, and guests are expected to be present from a number of the neigh- boring towns. The ladies have taken charge of the refreshments, and they guarantee at least S10 from that source, so that the fire boys believe that they will realize a good sum to aid them in get- ting fire equipment. The department has already re- ceived its first donation. Secretary F. M. Keffer of the Chamber of Com- merce received a letter from John J. Shinners Tuesday, enclosing a check for ?2o for the department, and later. when ihe fire boys, in recognition of the act, presented him with compli- mentary tickets to the ball, he handed them back with the remark: "I don't want that kind. Give me the other kind." Thereupon he pulled out a bill and remarked he ihought he would The' department had its first prac- tice run Monday evening, when this AT- BALL GAME SATURDAY Van Nuys and the Los Trust and Savings Bank teams will cross bats on the local diamond Sat- urday afternoon at o'clock, roiloues and Nordvold will be the tcry for Van Nuys.

J W.itdlow, Kast Sherman Way, has also been put on the Van Nuys switchboard. flnrl Ar-1 councilman Xiles Gresory. Ralph Cris- weil, Ora Mounette, George Dunlop and J. A. Anderson. Organization was effected by elect- ing Councilman Betouski temporary chairman and C. E. Mayor Rose's secretary, as temporary secre- tary. After considering and discussing the various phases of the matter of annexing outside territory, Commis- sioner Monnette was responsible for action instructing Special Counsel Hewitt to draft a resolution declaring it to be the sentiment of the annexa- tion commission that annexation shall be u condition precedent to supply Owens River water to outside terri- tories. At a meeting of the commission held Thursday, the important question of how much of the city's bonded in- debtedness should be borne by an- nexed territory was considered. In order to complete its work promptly the commission may decide to hold daily sessions. In face of this expressed sentiment for annexation on the part of the city officials, petitions have been prepared and are being circulated in some parts o[ the San Fernando valley for a great part of the valley to be included in the irrigation district for the formation ot which a petition was recently pre- sented to the supervisors by the land vrtprs nf Mission Land Co. tract. This latter petition is scheduled for a hearing next Monday, but may be postponed until a later date. It is the opinion of some of the most prominent attorneys of Los Angeles that the act under which the forma- tion of the irrigation district is be- ing contemplated, is unconstitutional, and that to petition to be included in the district would only invite legal complications. The petitions to unite with the San Fernando district, as proposed, were drawn as the result of action taken by the general water committee of the San Fernando Valley, at a meet- ing several weeks ago. At this meet- ing a proposition to employ an attor- ney to act for and advise the commit- tee was defeated, so at present the committee is in the shape of a ship without a rudder. Van Nuys is deep- ly interested in this great water prob- lem. It has presented so many phases that only the very jjest legal advice can guide the property owners in tile method of securing the Owens River water for their lands. There lias been complaint by many that the efforts to secure the water have dragged along .very slowly, and ihat nothing lias beer, accomplished. In answer to this, it is only fair to the committee to state that any action by the property owners in the valley is impossible until the city has defi- nitely outlined its policy. So far the rate, a cent, per inch per hour, has been established. The action of the annexation commission, as above slated, practically decides that the pol- icy of the city council will be "an- believed that So. in view of these considerations, the general committee of the valley, Van Nuys transfer team took the hose which is handling the negotions, down to the piano factory, and the proceed carefully, as any wrong boys made n connection and had water move at this time would greatly re- playing in throe and one-half minutes. VISITS VALLEY FOR FIRST TIME IN TWENTY YEARS tard the one great consumation, that it. J. Lyster. who lived in tlie San Fernando valley forty-live years ago. visited Van Nuys last weok and got lost. He tried to find some of the old ranches and other well-known spots, but the changes were so great that he was baffled and could not get his bearings, lie has not boon in this end of the valley for twenty years. "Why. if they'd a-saiil 'hat there would ever be paved boulevards and electric lights and telephones and towns like this." said Mr. l.ystor. waving his hand toward the business street of Van Xuys. "we'd have sent Lyster was major domo for the Por- ter K Maclav ranch people in the early days and also ran a thresher around the valley. He knew Van Nuys and Lankershim, the pio- neers for whom tb? towns wore named, and remembers when that firm r-f ranchers pastured 2fi.flflO sheep over the present site of Van Nuys. Mr. l.ysicr lives in Long Beach now ami rides arounA in an auto in- stead of riding a pinto. He bought Long Beach at an acre and sold ;t for AH aero. of securing the water for the valley. Let the committee, which is corn- nosed mostly of laymen, select a com- petent attorney before circulating the petitions for an irrigation district and be miided by Ms advice, whether such a district shall be formed or whether tho territory in tile valley wishing the water shall annex to' the city. The water is in the valley now. It was turned over the cascade at the lower San Fernando reservoir Wednesday af- ternoon, not. in its full bulk, but en- ough to be used in sluicing. The full volume will be turned on November when the great celebration will bo held at the reservoir. Tlii? water will soon be available and when it is once spread over the fair, fertile acres of our valley, it will blossom with such abundance that it will be one of the greatest integral factors in the growth and expansion of steam j i.os Angeles, whether as an irrigated suburb or as a part and parcel of that great city. ROBERT BIGGART INJURED While working on a ladder Tues- day, K. P. Biggart fell, striking on a cement walk and breaking the bone in his heel. Dr. Patten was called and dressed Ihe injury. It will be sev- eral weeks before Mr. Biggart will abio to.walk without the aid of, crutches. ;

Seems there are very few posts about this camera. I'm an X-E1 shooter who loves Fuji JPEGS and is looking for a good PS option. It has to fit in a pants pocket, or I may as well bring the X-E1 and 27mm, and it seems the X-Q1 fits the bill. The XF-1 is cheap but the mechanical errors reported make it a miss.
Anyone have the Q1?

19th Annual East Coast Indoor Nationals - Workin' Hard To Help Children SmileWritten by Chuck Vranas on October 1, 2009 19th Annual East Coast Indoor Nationals
For the past 19 years, event promoter David Cohen has dedicated his time and efforts to not just kicking off the East Coast's indoor show season in grand style, he has also managed to meld our automotive passions with the chance for everyone attending to give back to one of the most celebrated holiday causes this country has to offer.
When David contacted the United States Marine Corps years ago to offer his assistance in working with them to help supply donations for their coveted Toys for Tots campaign, a union was born enabling our hobby a chance to bring smiles to children in need during the holiday season.
To create an exclusive feel to the event, David hand picks and personally invites each of the hot rods, customs, muscle cars, and classics to the show. Hitting the road in his personal '48 Pontiac, he travels close to 15,000 miles each year across 12 states to events and cruise nights looking for what he considers the best of the best to assemble a dramatic grouping of cars that would make attendees remember his show all year long.
Held at the Cow Palace within the Maryland State Fairgrounds, the venue offers an old-timey feel recalling bygone days where simple buildings were used to gather a group of bitchin' cars for a cool weekend get together. This year there were close to 300 cars in attendance, encompassing numerous build-styles in both the hot rod and custom classes. Throughout the weekend the festive atmosphere and presence of Marine Reservists from the 4th Combat Engineering Battalion in Parkville, Maryland, brought home the warmth of the cause as they participated in both the live auction (which included three personally-signed RC models from Chip Foose and Ride Makerz) and gathered donations for Toys for Tots. Add a great swap meet area, plenty of tasty food, tunes spun by DJ Mac Thomas, and perfect (but cold) weather, and you have a recipe for a great time. If you were in town for the weekend you could have also taken a short hop to Baltimore for even more festive entertainment to check out the Radio City Rockettes who were kicking it up in full regalia.
By the time the show drew to a close, the awards presentation of custom designed trophies by Amanda Gianotti of Allogram, Inc. wrapped up a great weekend. For the Marine Corps and Toys for Tots, it was another successful experience where $16,000.00 was raised and 100 new toys were donated. Through dedication over the past 19 years the show has donated over $750,000.00 to numerous charitable causes, including Toys for Tots, which is just plain amazing. You can check it all out at www.eastcoastindoornats.com.

In my company we have been setup to track work by hours per task. We have a system that gives us reports of our employees and how many hours they worked on each task and subtask within the two week time period. I take these reports and enter them into an MS Project 2010 for each person. They are entered for each sub task on how many hours they work on for each task and figure out the burn rate. All my projects are DURATION DRIVEN and cant move the end date for each task. Do or die the TASK dates have to stay. The people we assign can change and we can put more people on the project but this should not shift the end date back and forth.
This is the following stuff that I have done so far.
1) Created a project as a Master Plan with Sub Projects and a Resource Pool.
2) I setup under the project to be Fixed Work under: File + Options + Schedule + Default Task Type: Fixed Work.
For example the Report would look like this:
Project 1 Report
John TASK 1 SubTask 1 30 hours 3/22/12 from 4/6/12
Joe TASK 1 SubTask 1 5 hours 3/22/12 from 4/6/12
Katie TASK 1 SubTask 1 2 hours 3/22/12 from 4/6/12
And so forth .
Here are my questions about MS Project 2010
1) I am assigning hours to my resources and the units are not updating to reflect the actual resource Units. To eliminate resource conflicts I go and change the resource allocation to %5 for each resource. Which I know is not right but then I assign hours to each resource that is defiantly over %5. At this point all looks good still. This gets rid of the resource conflicts but then also introduces other problems. If I change the days for the TASK 1 then it recalculates all the employees hours based on the 5% rather than the hours.
2) Why is Project 2010 recalculating its hours based on Units always? Can we change that to be hours so that when we change the hours for the person on task 1 that this would change the units automatically and if we change the duration of TASK 1 from 30 days to 60 days the HOURS stay constant but the UNITS get recalculated? Is there a setting in Project that lets you reconfigure this?
3) For DURATION based project planning what settings would be the best setup for my project?
4) My resources will be allocated in various projects and I want to increase their hours and decrease them based on demand but not change the Task 1 end date. I want the units to update not the hours. How do you force the units to update automatically when you change the hours for a person?
5) Switching everything to manual mode is that a good option? Will I be updating every date and hours for every task manually? Will my reports give me good charts to see the burn rate?
6) Can MS Project 2010 be used effectively in Duration based project management?
Note: Please follow the screen shots I uploaded as to the sequence of events that demonstrate the problem.

Instead of waving white flags after a road game, the Washington Huskies were instead wearing white T-shirts. Emblazoned in purple letters...
TEMPE, Ariz. — Instead of waving white flags after a road game, the Washington Huskies were instead wearing white T-shirts.
Emblazoned in purple letters on the new duds, handed out by the coaches earlier on Thursday, was "Hard work + toughness = road win."
And for once, the Huskies solved the equation properly, outlasting Arizona State 66-61 at Wells Fargo Arena to get their first road win this season in their seventh try.
"Those are some of the things the coaches have been saying all along," said Huskies forward Jon Brockman, proudly wearing one of the shirts afterward. "That's going to be our little slogan the rest of the year."

The equation for this game, however, almost read "Great start + harried finish = disaster."
The Huskies played their best first half of the season in taking a 23-point halftime lead, then blew almost all of it, allowing Arizona State to close to 61-58 with less than a minute left.
But Justin Dentmon then made the kind of play missing too often for the Huskies in previous road games, sinking a floating jumper in the lane to put Washington ahead 63-58 with 41 seconds to play.
The Huskies have won three in a row and improved to 14-7 overall and 4-6 in Pac-10 play.
"I'm focusing on the first half," said coach Lorenzo Romar. "We've got to bottle that and duplicate that. The second half was another growing experience. That's the first time we've had a lead like that on the road and we didn't handle it right. That's a learning experience."
The Huskies shot 65.4 percent (17 of 26) in the first half, leading 40-16 with just more than four minutes left and 44-21 at the break. Spencer Hawes had 10 of his 13 points in the first half to lead a balanced attack, as the Huskies time and again exploited Arizona State's 2-3 zone defense.
"That's the best half we've played all year," Romar said.
But any thoughts that Arizona State (6-15, 0-10) might give up evaporated when the Sun Devils opened the second half on an 11-2 run.
Then things really got interesting.
With 13:16 left and Washington up 48-38, ASU's Antwi Atuahene was called for a foul during a scramble for the ball with Ryan Appleby.
Arizona State coach Herb Sendek protested, then raised his hands as if to implore the crowd — which was already booing — to voice its displeasure even louder. Official Michael Reed called a technical on Sendek, and Appleby made the two ensuing free throws. When Sendek didn't stop, Reed called another technical, ejecting Sendek from the game.
Sendek, in his first year at ASU and 14th overall as a head coach, said it was the first time he had been ejected and said he was merely trying to get the fans to cheer for Atuahene.
"I wanted the crowd to recognize the special play," Sendek said. "I wasn't doing it to incite the crowd to berate the officials."
Arizona State seemed to play even more inspired from then on, quickly cutting the lead to single digits. Washington players, however, mostly blamed themselves.
"I think there was a stretch where we played timid," Hawes said.
Romar agreed, saying, "The crowd got into it, no doubt about it. But that had nothing to do with our performance in the second half. We were our own worst enemy."
The Huskies made just 5 of 21 shots in the second half (23.8 percent) and had 13 of their 19 turnovers after the break.
And when Allen Morrill hit two free throws with 1:14 left to make it 61-58, it seemed as if that elusive road win might never come.
But with the shot clock running down, Dentmon made the shot to put Washington up five. And after an ASU miss, he hit two free throws with 24 seconds left to salt it away.
"I'm fired up," Romar said. "We have to play better and take care of the ball. But we've won three in a row. Maybe others can try to discourage that [because of the second half]. But I'm pretty happy."
The Huskies now head to Tucson, where they will face a reeling Arizona team that has lost six of eight.
And they'll take their T-shirts with them, Brockman predicting that there could be reason to put them on again.
"I'm going to wear it all night," he said. "And it might make an appearance Saturday afternoon."

Schumer Says Strangle Gaza Until They Do What We Want
Schumer Says It 'Makes Sense' To 'Strangle [Gaza] Economically' Until It Votes The Way Israel Wants
This past Wednesday, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) delivered a wide-ranging speech at an Orthodox Union event in Washington, D.C. The senator's lecture touched on areas such as Iran's nuclear program, the Israel-Palestinian conflict, and several domestic policy issues.
During one point of his speech, Schumer turned his attention to the situation in Gaza. He told the audience that the "Palestinian people still don't believe in the Jewish state, in a two-state solution," and also that "they don't believe in the Torah, in David." He went on to say "you have to force them to say Israel is here to stay."
New York's senior senator explained that the current Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip — which is causing a humanitarian crisis there — is not only justified because it keeps weapons out of the Palestinian territory, but also because it shows the Palestinians living there that "when there's some moderation and cooperation, they can have an economic advancement." Summing up his feelings, Schumer emphasized the need to "to strangle them economically until they see that's not the way to go":
via Think Progress » Schumer Says It 'Makes Sense' To 'Strangle [Gaza] Economically' Until It Votes The Way Israel Wants.
Imagine if Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) — the nation's first elect Muslim congressman — appeared at a radical mosque in, let's say, Dearborn, Michigan. At this radical mosque, Ellison explained that the Israeli government simply didn't want to accept a Muslim state in Gaza and the West Bank — and let's suppose this wasn't actually true — and that this was because, you know, they don't read the Quran.
Then Ellison would go on to say, "You see, those Israelis elected Netanyahu. And we don't like Netanyahu, he has committed great crimes against our people. So I think it makes sense to economically strangle the Israelis until they change their minds." And then Ellison went on to advocate denying them fresh meat, basic medical supplies, and a whole host of humanitarian items.
The congressman would probably be (rightly) lambasted across the political spectrum, made into a wild-eyed extremist in the media, and probably forced to resign (or maybe he'd lose by a 30-point landslide in the next election).
Of course, this hypothetical is just that. Unfortunately, this event basically happened, just replace Keith with Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and the radical mosque with the Orthodox Union. If you click the link above, which leads to my Think Progress post on the matter, you can watch Schumer delivering his remarks, and you can witness the crowd wildly cheering him on.
When I watched this happen, I thought to myself: What have we become as a country when this sort of talk is politically palatable for a leading politician? How is it that my country not only is providing economic, political, and military cover for a country that is depriving an entire innocent population of the basic needs of survival — and then a public official can justify it by citing religious texts?
We need to look at ourselves as a country if this is what goes for mainstream political discourse. Senator Schumer cites the Torah. When I was a small kid, I used to go to a Baptist school (it was the only decent school in the area). I had the Old Testament read to me on a daily basis. I don't remember the part about how, if you have enemies, you are supposed to starve their children. I do remember the passages about the importance of making peace between sworn, bitter enemies — about being a better human being by choosing nonviolence and grace over brutality and furor.
I think that's the Torah our public officials need to be reading, otherwise they're all complicit in what's happening to the Palestinians.

[...] Zaid Jilani says it all: Imagine if Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) — the nation's first elect Muslim congressman — [...]
[...] At his personal blog, CAP's Jilani elaborated on why Schumer's remarks are so foul, including asking us to imagine what would happen if, say, Rep. Keith Ellison gave a speech urging that all Israelis be denied "fresh meat, basic medical supplies, and a whole host of humanitarian items" as a result of the horrific acts of the government they elected. Condemnation would pour down on him from all corners. That's the same glaring double standard that just ended Helen Thomas' career even though people as disparate as Mike Huckabee, Dick Armey and Matt Yglesias have said virtually the same exact thing about Palestinians that Thomas said about Israelis without any repercussions whatsoever (indeed, have seen their careers flourish afterward, though Yglesias, who was in college at the time, clearly no longer believes anything like that and now sees his remarks as "terrible"). Numerous people have written very good posts about why Schumer's comments are as false as they are repugnant — see Juan Cole,David Dayen, Philip Weiss, and Taylor Marsh (who said, accurately: "This is your Democratic Party hierarchy, folks").

Those expecting the grandeur of "Lord of the Rings" from Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" (the first of a new prequel trilogy) will be disappointed. But that's not to say the ride isn't enjoyable once you get used to the 48fps in 3-D. Were I to sit ...Read More »
I have great regard for Peter Jackson and his filmmaking partners, which is why it pains me to say that I found 'The Hobbit' incredibly boring. As in 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy, Jackson and his WETA team have raised the bar for visual effects and created some stunning set pieces...Read More »

From one perspective, it's ironic that the adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" books have been so successful; they owe their success to technological progress, and yet an argument against such progress is one of their underlying themes.Read More »

Jonathan Lawton is gassing up to write and direct New Line's Howard Stern project, titled "The Adventures of Fartman."The film, which will be budgeted at a bloated–for New Line–$ 8 million-to-$ 11 million, is expected to go into production next May in New York. David Permut will produce the film under his Permut Presentations Banner, which has a first-look deal at New Line. For Lawton, who scripted "Pretty Woman" and the current box office success "Under Siege," the deal amounts to much more than a hill of beans: The pact for his services as writer and director include a pay-and-play clause, which means he must direct the film if it gets made. Although Stern has publicly announced that his film debut for New Line would be as the Fartman character, most insiders felt that the character would never actually see the light of day. This was especially true after Stern's tepidly received appearance at last September's MTV Awards, where he flew onto the stage as Fartman. But Lawton, who directed "Pizza Man" under the pseudonym J.D. Athens, said he convinced New Line exex that the Fartman concept was more than a lot of hot air. "The time for a superhero parody is very ripe, given how seriously 'Batman' and some of the other superhero films take themselves," said Lawton, who met with Stern last week and immediately pitched his idea to New Line exex. "I don't think it's a one-joke premise. It will be a real comedy with a beginning, middle and an end with a strong story. Anything less from Howard Stern would be a cop-out." According to Lawton, "The Adventures of Fartman" will revolve around the superhero and his alter ego, a magazine publisher in the mold of Screw magazine's Al Goldstein. Lawton also explained that the character becomes Fartman after mistakenly taking a high colonic filled with gasoline. Lawton says the film will be scheduled so as to allow Stern to continue appearing on his top-rated morning show while "Fartman" is in production. "He'll do the show in the morning and film in the afternoons," Lawton said.

In this flashback episode, we learn how Beka and Harper met.
Harper: You flew us into a minefield?
Beka: Well, it wasn't supposed to be there, was it? So, mea very culpa.
Dylan: (on screen) Tyr, you've got command. I know you'll display the appropriate sensitivity and diplomacy in dealing with the Chichin. (Tyr cuts the connection, then Rommie re-opens the channel) And, Tyr don't break my ship.
Bobby: This is the perfect cause. We can help with what we know.
Beka: I don't do causes, Bobby.
Bobby: No Beka. Everybody does causes. Only question is: will you pick yours, or will it pick you?
Beka: In that case, I've picked mine. You're looking at her.
Harper: Huh, can I say something?
Beka and Bobby: NO!
Beka: Look, why don't you go outside and play while Mommy and Daddy talk, OK?
Harper: FINE!
Tyr (about Bobby): Next of kin?
Beka: Not quite. Just, huh... the love of my life.
Harper: (the Maru shakes) Is that normal?
Beka: Missile to the aft cargo pod, by the feel of it. What's the matter, no one ever shoot at you before?
Harper: Yeah, but I've never been shot in the aft.
Tyr: This warship, her capabilities- it makes us complacent. We may have to engage the enemy using nothing but our teeth and nails. (Beka bites him.) Ow!
Rommie: Estimated time to proton anti-proton event, 18 minutes 32 seconds.
Tyr: Apparently we are to try our hand at a game of brinkmanship. (in a demanding tone) Provide me with options.
Rommie: I'm analyzing available data and exploring all possible courses of action.
Tyr: Being the most powerful warship in three galaxies, please provide me with something more impressive than,'Do nothing.'
Rommie: We can't run, so should I just hand over my armory? No, I would evacuate the planet but I can't air 72 million Muganis per minute. (in a sarcastic tone) Or perhaps you prefer that I dematerialize Dylan's body from the Maru and magically re-materialize it here on command?
Tyr: Your choices are to let the Eureka Maru self destruct, which would destroy both vessels or to launch a preemptive strike destroying the Maru only.
Rommie: They're your choices, acting Captain Tyr Anasazi.
Tyr: By all means, let's risk our lives for Dylan.
Rommie: AC 14 5, Argosy Code 14 5, It means Dylan has been taken hostage in a war zone, I'm to approach with caution and be prepared to fire on his position.
Tyr: He's telling us to kill him.
Rommie: If necessary yes, that is exactly what he is telling us to do.
Harper: Is my name Seamus Zelazny Harper?
Beka: God, I hope not.
I trust fast poison
The stars to wink out
And you, my love--and you.
Lyric from "The Void,"
by Minstrel d'Becevex CY 9905.
This episode had to be revised so many times, for various reasons, that it acquired the off-screen nickname "Be All My Scripts Rewritten".
International Airdates:
-This episode aired in Canada on February 23, 2002 on Global.
-This episode aired in the UK on June 26, 2002 on Sky One.
-This episode aired in the Australia on April 5, 2003 on Fox 8.
Rommie: We can't run so should I just hand over my armory? No, I would evacuate the planet but I can't air 72 million Muganis per minute. (in a sarcastic tone) Or perhaps you prefer that I dematerialize Dylan's body from the Maru and magically re-materialize it here on command?
De- and re-materializing is a reference to "beaming up", frequently used in the TV series Star Trek and its sequels. Rommie's comment indicates this kind of travel isn't known to be possible by the Commonwealth.
The title of this episode "Be All My Sins Remembered" comes from Shakespeare's Hamlet. It is the very end of Hamlet's famous "To be or not to be" soliloquy.

Every year we're wowed by the new features automakers roll out at auto shows. Under the bright lights of the convention hall they seem perfect, but once we get them home they don't always stand up to scrutiny. One of those is Infiniti's new crossover, the 2013 JX35.
At last year's Los Angeles Auto Show, Infiniti showed off this new family hauler with a second row that could theoretically tilt and slide forward for access to the third row, even with a forward-facing child-safety seat installed in the second row.
I recently had the opportunity to put this feature to the test at home with my three daughters, ages 8, 10 and 12. While they're no longer in forward-facing five-point-harness safety seats, which were used at the auto show to demonstrate the JX's slide feature, my two younger daughters are both in booster seats, and there's a frequent need to get to the third row.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's most recent child-safety-seat guidelines:
That means a family will have at least one kid in some type of child-safety seat for up to 12 years, and even longer if younger siblings are to follow. Of those 12 years, only two to five of them will be in a forward-facing convertible. The remaining seven to 10 years will be in either a rear-facing child-safety seat or a booster seat. So, one would assume Infiniti considered this while designing access to the third row.
However, that doesn't seem to be the case. After testing the system at home, I've discovered there are a few flaws with this seemingly well-thought-out family-friendly feature.
Flaw No. 1: Only one second-row seat — behind the front passenger's seat — has the tilt-and-slide-forward-with-a-car-seat feature. If you want to get into the third row from the driver's side and there's a car seat installed in the second row's outboard position, or even in the middle position, you can't access the third row. Third-row passengers would have to climb in only on the passenger side.
Flaw No. 2: The tilt-and-slide-forward feature doesn't work with a rear-facing child-safety seat. So, rear-facing seats need to be installed behind the driver's seat or in center seat.
Flaw No. 3: Of the three booster seats I tested with this feature, only one of them worked well with the JX. I tested a Britax Roundabout high-back booster seat, a Bubble Bum inflatable booster and a Clek Olli. The Roundabout's high back and subsequently high head restraint jammed up against either the JX's headliner or the front passenger's seat (depending upon the position of the booster's head restraint). This prevented the seat from tilting far enough forward to allow third-row access. The Bubble Bum was essentially ejected from the seat when it tilted forward.
The backless Clek Olli worked well with the tilt-and-slide second-row seat. Since this booster seat is installed securely using Latch anchors, it allowed the JX's seat to move all the way forward without getting stuck or dislodging the booster.
I love that automakers are starting to tune into consumers' usability issues and design solutions for them. However, the Infiniti JX's seat that theoretically allows access to the third row "even with a child seat installed" will only work for a couple of years when your child is in a forward-facing convertible seat. For the remaining years that your child is in either a rear-facing safety seat or a booster seat, you'll likely have to figure something else out.
My three kids got so frustrated with this system that they just crammed together in the second row, seemingly rejecting the third row altogether. Of course this may have been since it was Halloween and they just wanted to get to Grandpa's faster for trick-or-treating.

Welcome to Grace
Welcome to Grace Baptist Church of Owatonna, MN. Thank you for taking the time to get to know us better. As you peruse our website, I trust you will grasp our heartbeat for God, His Word, and people. It is my prayer that you will see that GBC exists to honor God by growing together, learning Truth, serving others, and proclaiming the gospel. I would encourage you to view our ministry opportunities and consider partnering with us to serve our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
I encourage you to visit us in person and see what the Lord is doing in and through Grace. He has done great things in our lives for which we give Him all the glory. Come and grow with us.
– Pastor David Levy | Senior Pastor
Our Vision
Grace Baptist Church (GBC) desires to pattern itself after the early New Testament church (Acts 2:42-47). They emphasized five priorities. GBC exists to honor God by growing together, learning Truth, serving others, and proclaiming Jesus. Honoring God: we want to glorify God in all we do. Growing together: we want to develop relationships with God and each other. Learning Truth: we want to think and act Biblically. Serving others: we want to use our gifts and abilities to help others. Proclaiming Jesus: we want to share Jesus with one another for motivation and with non Christians for salvation.

Operation of a Self-Sustaining California-Based Biobank of Cell Lines to Support Global Research into Genetically Complex Diseases
In response to CIRM RFA 12-04, [REDACTED] proposes to grow a California-based self-sustaining biobank of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines for use in the development of new therapies. We have 27 years of experience in biorepository science and services, and have the expertise and global infrastructure to expand the supply and distribute the cell lines to international research sites. [REDACTED] will provide LN2 dry shippers and arrange for the transfer of each cell line (proposed at 100 vials) from the Deriving Laboratory (RFA 12-03) to the repository. If needed, we will train staff in the use of the shippers according to SOPs; the vials will be received and stored in the biobank according to SOPs. [REDACTED] will provide online access and researchers will be able to search the database, place orders, and submit payment. The information required from those seeking to use CIRM materials, the fee schedule, and other variables in the operation and management of the biobank, will be decided in collaboration with CIRM, the Deriver, and the Tissue Collector (RFA 12-02). As inventory is depleted, [REDACTED] will send the cell line to [REDACTED] for expansion and replenishment of the inventory. This will include those derived under CIRM 12-03 as well as from California researchers. The quality of materials in the biobank will be documented and available. The cells will be distributed in compliance with all regulations.
Our Biobanking facility was established in California in 2002 with commercial resources, demonstrating our commitment to building our business in California apart from State funding. We are already part of the business and biotech community and will not be displacing another biobanking/repository business in California.
By creating a biobank of cell lines that are derived and expanded by California-based laboratories, the biobank will preserve and create additional high quality, skilled biotech laboratory jobs in California.
In addition, [REDACTED] supports the entire developmental pipeline of new therapies and our goal is to provide excellent, high value service to the CIRM biobank users and correspondingly grow our California repository business along with the California pharmaceutical companies that are developing cell-based therapies. We are on the forefront of supporting the development of cell-based therapies at cryogenic temperatures and the expansion of this arena of our business will provide new jobs well beyond the laboratory for residents of California.
