Daniel Fox holding a sample of Lexan polycarbonate resin, CHF Collections
Daniel Fox begins the interview with a discussion of his family background and early education. Fox and his sisters grew up in various parts of Pennsylvania. He credits his high school chemistry teacher with piquing his interest in science. After graduating from high school, he decided to attend Penn State University. He only spent a year there, however, before joining the Air Force and became a navigator during World War II. When he returned from his military service, Fox went to Lebanon Valley College, where he earned his B.S. in chemistry in 1949. He then went directly to graduate school at the University of Illinois, studying under "Speed" Marvel. There he was first introduced to polymer chemistry. Fox was married by this time, and he and his wife had difficulty finding housing in the Urbana area. So he decided to move to the University of Oklahoma. There he worked on nitration studies of diphenols and biphenyls, and received his Ph.D. in 1953. Though the Air Force wanted Fox to serve during the Korean War, he instead did research for the Atomic Energy Commission, synthesizing isocorsitrone. In 1953, Fox accepted a position at General Electric, and spent his entire career there. He worked on various projects, including polycarbonates, PPPO, PBT, and the development of Lexan and Ultem. Fox concludes the interview with his final thoughts on working at General Electric.

Playing Santa With The Kids AND How I Learned 'The Truth' About Santa!
Kittenpie @ Life of 'Pie got me thinking about this - Do most of you parents "do" the Santa thing with your kids? If so, what are your traditions and how do you reveal 'the truth' about Santa. If you don't "do" Santa - why? I want to know...
I never really thought about it until today (yeah, weird I know.) My daughter is only 17-months and the only Santa-thing we do is teaching her how to call the old guys in the malls "Santa" (or any old guy with a white beard.)
In my own life, I'm a little jaded - I found out 'the truth' when I was around 5 or 6. It was a horrible experience. I went out to the garage on that Christmas Eve to turn on the outside Christmas lights and saw two BMX bikes (from 'the Santa list'.) I remember standing there in shock like, "did he come early?" and then I heard an angry voice behind me yelling, "what do you think you're doing!!" Before I could think or talk I got chewed out and sent to my room. All confused I had no idea what to think –random stuff filled my head like "God, I hope these aren't my parents..…maybe my "real" ones will come this year to take me away". Actually no, I thought that all the time. I think it was just simple confusion.
Anyhow, my father comes in maybe about an hour later and starts yelling at me like I robbed the corner 7-11 and tells me not to tell my brother anything about "the incident" and then goes on to say "you're not getting anything for Christmas!", He then left, slamming the door (I remember my framed poster of Chewbacca falling off the wall that moment and breaking – Chewbacca didn't deserve that.)
I sat on my bed confused, "why did Santa come early and why was I in trouble. Santa must be an angry teamster."
Low and behold, I did end up getting the bike late the next day. My parents gave it to me after my brother was riding his new bike up and down our cul-de-sac street all day with the neighbor kids while I sat in the garage and observed. But my Dad warned me "don't tell your brother about Santa not being real". Then it hit me – "What, he's not real?"
Oddly around that time, my younger brother told me that he knew Santa wasn't real. All parents lied about it to make the kids behave (yes, younger brother.) Some kid, Billy Bologna (not his real name) told him at preschool or on the street. And then he went on and told me why didn't I just go along with it - I'd get more gifts if I did.
That's probably the smartest thing my little brother ever said his entire life. Because God knows most of the stuff he says these days isn't.
O.K. so tell me people? Do you still do Santa? And do you have any stories about "the truth"…

No one ever told me, but I figured it out really quick. On Chirstmas Eve, my parents would make my brother and I go into our rooms and shut the door. We would hear a bunch of rustling around and then they would go up and down the stairs a bunch of times. When they were done, we were allowed to open our doors. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that they were bringing all the packages downstairs! Not quite as traumatic as your story though!
- Lisa said...
Santa's alive and kicking at this house. Don't know what next year will bring though? It's that "witching" age - between 6 & 7.
As for finding out the truth, you can read the saga here http://refusetoblog.blogspot.com/2006/12/yes-there-is-santa-claus.html
what a sad story. parents can be such a-holes. we do the santa thing only in that we tell her the santa story. all gifts come from us and we feel that teaches her to show gratitude to the giver. we tell her it's just a fun story and play act it if she wants to and get the videos and books but we don't do the santa sit on weird old guy's lap thing. Eeeeew!
- Jared said...
No Santa here, either. Well, at least not much. We're Christians, so you can guess why.
'What? You mean, Santa's made-up? Okay, then what about God?'
Why deceive my son? He's only three, so we haven't gotten into the details, but we tell him that Santa is pretend; and it's fun to pretend! We plan to celebrate Sinterklaas (my wife's family is Dutch), and teach him about the real Saint Nicholas.
- Catherine said...
Well, WonderBaby's only one, so Santa still looms (tho' she did freak out - not in a good way - when she saw him at the mall. Something about beards and garish clothing, I guess.)
- Catherine said...
Catherine is me, btw. Blogger Beta seems to be insisting on it.
Her Bad Mother
Wow, I hope your dad never got in a jamb at work; his lack of ability to think on the fly borders on scary.
- Jonathon said...
I figured it the myth when I found the stash of presents on year. when ones that I'd found were labled from "santa" i knew the jig was up.
that picture, by the way, is totally awesome.
I love your blog! I read you on Julia Sweeney's blog.
Anyway...I have two stories. The first what when *I* learned. I was THE ONLY KID in 4th grade who believed. My classmates told me..and pointed and laughed and made fun. I was BOUND AND DETERMINED not to ever let that happen to my kids, so I told my 7 year old (11 years ago)while we were at the post office. He's 18 now. He always reminds me of the time "I RUINED IT FOR HIM" at the post office. Lord.
Other story...I was teaching 5th grade. The class was talking about not believing in Santa. I was just kinda listening, but didn't say much. Later, one of the girls asked me if I believed in Santa. These were 11 and 12 year olds. I said "I wish he was real! It would be easier for me." She went home and told her mother, and the mother accused me of ruining her daughter's childhood.
From that day forward, I have NEVER said that I don't believe. EVER.
Ask me now! I BELIEVE! ;-)
We intend on doing the Santa thing. I can't imagine not giving Chicky that gift and a chance to use her imagination.
That story of your finding out about Santa made me very angry at your parents. Is that wrong? Ah well, too late.
- Mrs. Chicky (who is seriously hating Blogger right now)
I'm with aalize above. The Santa thing was just another anxiety-ridden and disillusioning aspect of childhood for me. We've told our boys from the get-go that there ain't no Santa - BUT here's the real (as real as it can be) story of Saint Nicholas (good moral to the story) and we make the most of the season in as many ways as we can.
The reasons we don't go along with the thing are 3:
1. We don't like lying to our kids. Ok that came out like an indictment on the parents who go with the Santa thing - I don't mean it that way, we simply want our kids to live in truth. (And yes, we do play imagination games, read bedtime stories and watch Star Wars as much as possible)
2. Like Aalize above, we don't want some imaginary fat old guy getting the credit for the presents we have out all that thought and effort into!
3. We want to find other behaviour managament tools that shape well-adjusted human beings - we kinda feel that the "Be good or no Santa" doesn't really do that.
Does that make me a Scrooge? (Judging by the joy and imagination in our kids lives, I personally don't see it)
Oh, and your story about the bikes and Chewie? That profoundly sucks, buddy.
- L.A. Daddy said...
Bring on the Santa, baby! We use him all up and down the joint... but not to keep the little monster in her cage. Just to give her a bit of excitement. Sure, they eventually find out it's all a big sham, but I don't think it's too devastating, just a "No, shit?" kinda shock.
LA Toddler is 2 and a half and she recognizes him and we'll probably take her to the mall for the traditional screaming & crying photo. Those are fun to laugh at when they're older :)
- sweatpantsmom said...
We do Santa big time, totally against my husband's wishes. He grew up without it, but I pointed out it's probably why he never got that deluxe train set he wanted.
I have a strong feeling my girls (8 & 10) know the truth and the gig is up. I tell them that "as long as they WANT to believe, he's real."
And they do.
- J in Ric said...
I guess Santa has stuck around at our house, mostly because we havent said there is no Santa. I think our oldest is wavering (he's 6) but the younger one (3) is totally on the Santa page... I can't see myself pulling the rug out from underneath him. Although, they both know that presents come from mom and dad, so that alleviates the Santa worship
- creative-type dad said...
Interesting feedback everybody...
Mrs. Chicky- Yeah, it made me angry for awhile. But now I just laugh about it.
- Darren a/k/a Clare's Dad said...
Clare totally believes in Santa Claus. She's even convinced that she saw the real SC one Christmas Eve when she was a baby. We wouldn't have it any other way here...it lets us pull the ol' Santa is watching card.
I found out when I was about 7 and a nun told my class. I already had my doubts, but she confirmed it for me. Like yours, my father got so mad when I told him that he didn't want to bother with toys for me. It must be tough for parents when kids let go of the Santa Claus magic.
- Pageant Mom said...
My mother didn't believe in "the great lie" so she sat me down when I was four and just told me. Since they didn't really play it up, I wasn't too disappointed...so I missed all the excitement!! However - I managed to keep my son believing until he was NINE and my four year old is absolutely convinced she is going to hear reindeer on the roof!!
- h&b said...
I too, found out about the non-magic of Christmas, Easter et al early on in the piece. My parents believed in raising mini-adults, and we were to behave as such.
Now i'm a rock-hard shrew of a woman with a heart of coal.
Anyway, my boy is only 2yrs old, so maybe we'll try to stoke up a bit of merriment and mystery for next year..
Merry Christmas !
- creative-type dad said...
Pageant Mom - wow! 9 years old...that's something.

VIDEO: Hot air balloon makes emergency landing in residential neighborhood
A hot air balloon flew over a serene neighborhood in what seemed like a harmless glide over, until the basket began to lower closer to the homes.
Witness Jack Joswick captured the hot air balloon's emergency landing in a residential neighborhood.
The balloon's basket skimmed the trees and barely missed clipping a home as it landed in a Michigan neighborhood.
The seven passengers inside the basket did not fall out during the collision and no one was reported injured.
Thankfully the pilot of the balloon was from the area and familiar with the accessibility of large open land.
No one was injured in the landing.
According to the pilot, the landing was necessary because he ran out of gas to power the hot air balloon.

u guys are crazy....we had about 5 shots that went in and out...
Coach is playing 10 players already.....this is what we all wanted to find guys that will hustle and run...
stop with Brewer eventually he will be tried as well...
Personally I like what I am seeing,,,,,it will take time!!
Some good effort from guys like Carter and Fields, finally hitting a corner 3.
The obvious weakness of our team is rebounding. We need some bigs to play inside and possibly have a shot blocked or two to keep teams out the paint. Part of it seems like its Coaching as well, don't know if MDA will be the answer for this team in pursuit of a championship in the next 3-4 years. First we need the bigs, then take it from there.
Not possible LA2NY, Mike D made him inactive for his 2nd straight game. This is sad to watch. Why isnt Barron signed yet? Hes a 7 footer who averaged a double double with this team during his 10 game tryout. He knows Walker and Toney already. Just the presence of a 7 footer makes up for points.
Shed Mason and sad to say it, Azubuike (cause MDA will never play him) bring in JJ and Barron. And if we can get TJ Ford see ya later Anthony Carter nice knowing you
BILL WALKER with the game winner... err, end of half winner>
Solid run. Way to shoot themselves back in it.
Oh Yeah...told Ya I Like What We See
Welcome back to the rotation Billy Walker!!!!!!!
Defence, offence, rebounds.....
Eat that D'Antoni.. WTF were you thinking?
Im glad we kept fighting.
And we have played decent D tonight which I was hoping for.
if only knicks won the game right there, dam that would be classic
Great run to end the 1st half!!!
Melo looks great, Amar'e playing well and Billups has been big for us. Getting good effort and even some solid Defense here and there, we just need to rebound and play D and we'll be good. Hopefully Walsh will sign a big or two in the upcoming days.

The Cincinnati Public Library just wrapped up its feeding program for children this summer. The Library distributed meals at fourteen of its branch locations. This was an expansion of feeding sites over the previous year.
Here are the results. The Library served 18,704 meals this summer to children, which is a 36 percent increase over the previous summer. Diane Smiley, the program coordinator, says, "participation was good and clearly filled a definite need in the community."
The need for summer meals and feeding sites is significant because when schools are closed, the free or reduced priced lunch is not available. Summer feeding sites have to fill in this gap until the school year starts again.
Nationwide there are around 21 million children who receive free and reduced-priced school meals, but only about 3.5 million take part in the summer feeding program. Establishing more feeding sites is critical and the Cincinnati Public Library has certainly stepped up to the plate.
In the area served by the Cincinnati Public Library (Hamilton County), the child hunger rate exceeds twenty percent. These figures are according to a study by Feeding America.
The impact of summer meals can have long lasting implications for a child's education. Kevin Concannon, the Under Secretary for Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services at the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, says,
poor nutrition during the summer months can also affect children's academic performance during the school year. USDA's summer feeding programs help children get the nourishing food they need all year long so they come back to school in the fall ready to learn."
Cincinnati's plan to have summer feeding sites is one benefiting the entire community. When asked about next summer's library feeding sites Smiley replied, "Expanding the number of or changing some of the sites next year is certainly a possibility that we'll consider in the spring."

Kourtney, Kim and Khloe Kardashian host the grand opening of the Beach Bunny flagship boutique with Angela Chittenden, Beach Bunny founder and designer at the boutique's Robertson Boulevard location, Tuesday, April 27, 2010. (Photo: Courtesy of Beach Bunny Swimwear)
Watch out LA, there's a new 'hot' spot in town and I'll give you a hint, it's not a club. Robertson Boulevard, the famed shopping mecca worshiped by many celebrity shoppers and LA socialites, "officially" welcomed the newest addition to their haloed streets, the Beach Bunny swimwear flagship store… and about time!
Beach Bunny swimwear is renowned all over the world for its sexy, breathtaking designs, comfortable fits and eye-catching patterns. Their bold and enticing swimwear designs are some of the most sought-after among young Hollywood starlets and LA's socialites, and are perfect for quick jaunts to the French Riviera or a leisurely Slipstream cruise to the Grenadines.
To celebrate the opening of Beach Bunny swimwear's 3rd boutique, Kourtney, Kim and Khloe Kardashian, stars of the E! reality television show "Keeping up with the Kardashians," hosted a grand opening bash unlike anything Robertson Boulevard has ever experienced before. An explosion of flashing light bulbs announced the red carpet arrival of the fashionable trio, where Beach Bunny founder and designer, Angela Chittenden, was on hand to personally greet them. In the midst of all the paparazzi and chaos, the sisters broke the news about their latest venture and design collaboration with the company, set to debut this summer and marking the Kardashians entrée into the world of swimwear design. Also making an appearance at the star-studded bash were Sean Brosnan, Alice Gretchen, Chanel Ryan, and actress and Playboy Playmate, Shauna Sand. As the night came to a close, party-goers were reluctant to let the festivities end and instead drifted over to one of LA's choice hot spots to continue celebrating.
With summer just around the corner, expect celebrities and LA locals to flock to the steps of this posh boutique for their Beach Bunny fix. And as for this LA Socialite, I believe that the shimmery, metallic crocodile print of Beach Bunny's Hollywood Nights is calling my name.

The advantages and disadvantages of solar energy
January 4, 2014 | Under: News
Being in the solar power business, we're sold on the advantages of solar power. But the benefits of solar energy extend way beyond the generation of electricity.
Most of our energy
One of the biggest advantages of solar energy is that it is the source of nearly all the other energy we use. Oil, gas and coal are all derived from ancient plants that relied upon sunshine to grow. Wind power, wave power and hydroelectricity are possible because the sun drives our weather systems. Even tidal power, the result of the tug of the moon upon the earth, relies upon a liquid ocean. Chief amongst the advantages of solar energy is that we get just enough of it to keep water in a liquid state. Otherwise, Earth would be a lifeless frozen ball.
With a track record like that, perhaps our exploration of solar energy advantages and disadvantages can be forgiven for being a bit light on disadvantages. Yes, energy from the sun causes damaging storms, fades the curtains and gives us sunburn if we're not careful, but what's that compared to the existence of life?
From energy to power
This talk of the pros and cons of solar energy in its entirety is a bit academic. Of more practical importance is our realisation that burning every scrap of oil and gas and coal that we can get our hands on will have serious consequences. They are finite resources, so how will we meet our appetite for power when they're gone? And then there's the issue of climate change. To solar energy disadvantages add the fact that the sun is the source of the extra heat that is trapped in our atmosphere by the excess carbon dioxide that comes from burning fossil fuels.
What can we do about it? A good place to start is to recognise the real and growing benefits of solar power.
Solar power advantages
Amongst the advantages of using solar energy is that it will always be with us. The Sun might run out of fuel in a few billion years' time, but not before it has turned into a giant that will fry the Earth to a crisp. By the time we run out of sunshine, there won't be anyone left to complain.
Solar power can also be made close to where it's used. This cuts out transmission losses. Think of all the rooftops with perfect exposure to the sun, on homes and factories and shopping centres. Businesses in particular are often in the strongest position to use solar power because they can use it when and where it is created. Solar power benefits everyone in that it delays the need for upgrades to electricity transmission lines and power stations.
Solar power is clean. Solar power systems quickly generate more energy than is required to make them, allowing them to go on and produce pollution-free electricity for many years.
Solar power disadvantages
We hate to admit it, but solar power isn't perfect. Chief amongst the disadvantages of solar energy is that, on average, it isn't available for half the day. In summertime it may be available to counteract the peak loads caused by air conditioners, but meeting winter demand for heating is a bit of a challenge for solar. Solar power can be stored and recovered from batteries, but these add considerably to the cost of solar power systems. However, advances in battery technology and the roll out of electric vehicles may open up new opportunities for storing solar power. Large-scale plants that store heat from the sun and use it to generate power at night are also under construction in some countries.
Cost can also be counted as one of the disadvantages of solar energy, but once again the situation is changing rapidly. Although generation costs of solar power remain higher than for many other forms of generation, roof-mounted solar power systems can now deliver power to households and businesses for less than cost of grid power.
Weighing up the pros and cons of solar power
Well, we're biased. But running through the list of solar power advantages and disadvantages, and doing our best to take as balanced a view as possible, we still think things stack up pretty well in favour of the sun. Solar energy benefits all living things on Earth in many different ways. As we get better and better at harvesting that energy and turning it into power, there is every reason to believe the benefits of solar power will be enjoyed by an increasing number of people for as far into the future as we can imagine.

Entei is okay. I have the event one tbh xD But yeah. I wanted to ev train it...I just don't know what to do with it's moveset...therefore...I really stopped playing pokemon, not forever, but for a while, since I really don't know what to do with that Entei. Earthquake would be a good move, but it can't learn it. And dig needs too long.
I kinda thought about such a moveset :
- Flare Blitz
- Iron Head
- Extremespeed
- Something else, dunno tbh. But it should be a move that is effective against pokemon, who have type advantage.
Oh well, nvm xD I won't train this Entei. Can't be bothered tbh lol. But still, thanks for your help.

1. No Godmoding
2. No Controlling other characters
3. You may only have one character at a time
4. Try and post every day
5. Edit and Maintain your Character Sheet
6. RP within the limits of your character's stats
7. Your character can and will die
8. You can kill other characters
9. I must aprove of all deaths
10. Request plots do not just make them
11. Post a character sheet before playing
12. Only OOC in this thread unless it's directy related to the current situation in the story.
to elaborate on some of these rules,
Every time you gain stats or learn new skills, or gain more training, edit your character sheet and put it in.
Don't jump a huge cliff if your force jump is level 1. Don't convince a guard to let you pass if you're perswation is 1. Don't defeate a Sith lord if you're a padwan with 2 force sensativity and don't even have a master yet.
For most basic things go ahead and complete the task, if you know you have high enough skills go ahead and post the action that you know I'd aprove of. But if your not sure if level 4 force push is enough to move a huge bolder, ask. Otherwise you'll be editing your post if you know what I mean.
There will be a main plot but everyone should be in sub plots for whatever their character is doing. They will slip in and out of the main plot. Whatever you want to do in your sub plot, let me know in this thread. I will create the sub plot and scenario for you to perform in, I'll create a Jedi Master for you, or your Sergant in the Republic Army. I'll create the war to fight in or the quest to go on.
Always put the title of your plot or sub plot within lines of =.
So that it's easy to see and find the plot you're in.

More fatigue, little loss
Monday, October 29, 2012
Dear all
I am down this road again.
I went to hot yoga three times last week and once to the gym (strength and cardio). I ate less and had a protein shake in the morning of yoga and after my gym to minimize muscle loss.
My weigh in was thursday. I lost 600 grams. Truthfully, I expected more weight-loss because I increased my nutrition and exercise effort during the week. So I was again a little disappointed. But it's ok, I guess it is still a loss and it is within the healthy range.
I took a rest day on friday and went to the zoo with my boyfriend. Where, because they did not serve any healthy lunch options. I only had a coffee and two apples for lunch. Diner was more nutritious. I started feeling rather tired that day.
On saturday morning I went for hot yoga then a long day socialising with friend. In the evening it all went downhill. I was exhausted ... I have not been sleeping well ...
So sunday I rested all day and ate nutritious raw food to recuperate. The only exercise I did was a bit of walking and vacuuming.
Today (monday) I am back on my feet. But I cannot believe how tired I felt, just yesterday.
Has this ever happened to you?
If so, what did you do?
Was sleeping it off, a good solution?
Should I start working out (hot yoga) again today or wait?
I know I've asked many questions. But I would rather have answers from real people with real experiences.
And Many many thanks for all the helpful comments on my other posts.

You may wish to go to the doc to get a complete blood work done. This will check the basics, and also check to see if you are anemic. I was anemic in my early 20s, and I was so tired I couldn't even see straight.
Also, try to get enough calories per day, and if you are vegetarian, read a book to see all the different combinations to make a "complete" protein. For example, pair lentils with potato, and that gives a complete protein. Also, a whole egg (including the yolk) is a complete protein and very healthy for you.
If you are not a vegetarian, then have a 4 oz piece of steak or hamburger--no more than 16 oz per week. There are certain amino acids present in steak that aren't in other foods.
Raw food are great to eat, and you need to ensure that you have a variety of foods.
You can also bring a dietician on board and they can provide you with professional feedback after examining your food log.
If you haven't been sleeping well lately, then try to sleep it off to catch up with lost sleep. It is worth a try anyway.
Hope this helps! Hope you feel better soon, too!

It do happen to me when I am working too much in one day and don't take enough rest. Recently (last saturday) I did my walk first then strength exercise and after 30 min walk again. I felt restless for 3 days. I was getting enough sleep but no luck with rest.
About your weight loss if I were you I wouldn't get disappoint because 600 grams is better then nothing. Why I am saying this because I am been seeing same number on my scale since 4 week..yes few gram is here or there but lb wise I have not lost a bit. I feel more energy, my clothes are losing up, I have better sleep quality and I feel like I have lots some weight but no changes..

I have have that happen when I dont get enough calories in per day. If you up your exercises you should also up your calorie intake. This way you shouldn't feel that tired or run down.
Hope I could be of some help answering your questions

In the last couple of weeks, I've learned that car guys speak the same language, even when don't.
As you may know, in addition to writing for this website, for newspapers and magazines, I've written more than a dozen books about cars. A few of those books have been sold around the world. What a thrill the day I was walking through Paris and passed a book store that had the French edition of one of my books in its window!
Anyway, a couple of weeks ago I was invited by someone who has purchased several of my books to join a private Facebook page. Because I neither read nor write Persian, I cannot tell you the name of the page. But I can tell you that it's the domain of a group of classic car enthusiasts who happen to live in Iran.
That's right, Iran, an "axis of evil" nation, but also the home, according to Facebook statistics, of some 1800 classic car enthusiasts.
While I can't read the posts, I can enjoy the photos of people and their cars, and of car collections, car shows and what appear to be some pretty interesting barn finds.
One of the page's founders has a couple of my books in his library and has corresponded with me for a couple of years. Recently, he invited me to join the Facebook page and explained that the car posted on the site all are in Iran or, if seen in another country, have some sort of Iranian history.
As you might expect, many of those cars were produced in Europe, but I'm amazed at how many of those cars I see on the site are American classics -- early Camaros and Mustangs, an Imperial convertible, classic Caddys, and even a couple of Toronados.
So, regardless of our geopolitical and religious and linguistic differences, I hope you'll be glad to know that there are car guys just like us all around this big blue marble we call Earth.
Spring sale at Auburn does $5.7 million
With more than 77 percent of lots selling, Auctions America's annual Auburn Spring sale in northern Indiana generated some $5.7 million. The top sale was $198,000 for a 1930 Packard 745 dual-cowl phaeton that had won top national honors from the Antique Automobile Club of America.
Speaking of the AACA, it held its first Central Division National Spring Meet in conjunction with the auction.
"Thanks to a great team effort by the staff of Auctions America and AACA, our inaugural Central Division Spring Meet was a resounding success," said AACA executive director Steve Moskowitz. "We had almost 250 cars registered, 400 well-fed people at our banquet, and numerous empty wallets from attending the auction (and a few fat ones from selling)!
"The reaction from our members and the public alike was astounding. We look forward to an ongoing relationship with Auctions America and a continued presence at Auburn."
"We could not have been happier with the turn out of the AACA's inaugural meet at Auburn Spring," said Auctions America president Donnie Gould. "The impressive showing, along with very strong interest from bidders both nationally and abroad certainly took us one big step further in putting Auburn back on the map as the classic car capital of America."
One-third of bidders were newcomers, Gould reported. Bids at the auction came from people residing in 38 states and six foreign countries.
In addition to the award-winning Packard, a 1931 Auburn 8-98 boattail speedster brought $159,500, a 1967 Shelby GT500 fastback went for $121,000, and a 1950 Hudson Commodore 8 convertible brougham from the estate of John Soneff sold for $112,200, and a 1955 Chrysler 300 garnered $107,250.
RKM's inaugural auction nears $2-million mark
RK Motors of Charlotte, North Carolina, staged its first auction, held at the Pinehurst resort community, and did nearly $2 million in sales.
The top sales were $185,000 for a 1970 Dodge Charger; $183,000 and $161,000, respectively, for 1963 Chevrolet Corvettes; $140,000 for another '70 Charger, and $94,000 for a 1970 Dodge Coronet.
After 108 years, this Fiat's finally for sale
Sixteen Ferraris, including a 1953 340/375 MM Berlinetta 'Competizion,' will be offered at RM's annual auction in conjunction with the Concorso d'Elganza Villa d'Este showcase May 25 in Italy.
The sale also features Bugattis and Bentleys, Cisitalias (that's right, more than one) and even a couple of luxurious wooden boats.
But while the red racers and their prancing horses and the others draw a lot of attention, don't overlook another car that will cross the block -- the 1905 Fiat 60HP five-passenger touring built for American brewer August Anheuser Busch (see photo). The car, considered by some to be the first "supercar," was the second of its kind -- the first was built for Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany -- and is being offered for sale for the first time in 108 years!
Dragone family hosts its second auction event
The Dragone family of Westport, Connecticut, had been buying, restoring and selling classic cars for nearly seven decades before it staged its first auction last spring. Highlight of that sale was the $1.38-million transaction for a 1931 Duesenberg Model J Murphy Beverly.
It appears that auction has become an annual event, with the second Dragone Spring Auction scheduled May 31. The auction features pre-war cars, including the "last original unrestored SJ," -- a Rollston-bodied 1934 Supercharged Continental Touring Berline Duesenberg, one of only 35 built with a supercharger and one of only five built with closed bodywork. The car originally was built for socialite Mrs. Henry Evans.
Also offered at the sale are a 1927 Rolls-royce Piccadilly roadster originally owned by J.P. Morgan Jr. and a 1910 Renault towncar formerly owned by the wife of John Jacob Astor.
'Elegance in Motion' at California Automobile Museum
Elegance in Motion: Cars of the Golden Age is the feature exhibition at the California Automobile Museum in Sacramento from May 15 through October 13. The exhibit showcases cars from the Roaring '20s and Art Deco era. See www.calautomsueum.org for details.

Today's Torah Commentary from Exodus 23:6 – 19
The Second Book of the Torah, "Shemot," "Names."
This weeks reading is "Mishpatim," "Judgments."
Today we continue reading the "rest of the commandments."
In today's reading GOD continues with justice.
We are not to pervert justice, keep away from anything false and not kill a person who has been acquitted or not proven guilty.
GOD states that ultimately HE will not let a guilty person escape punishment.
We are not to accept bribery, or oppress a foreigner, for we were once foreigner's in Egypt.
Six years we may plant and gather in a field, but the seventh year we must leave the land to rest. This will provide for the needy as well as the wild animals.
We may "do whatever you must during the six week days, but you must stop on SATURDAY." Even our beast of burden, our servants and the foreigner must be able to relax.
GOD continues with a warning to be very careful to keep everything HE has said to us.
We are not even to pronounce the name of another deity. WE must not let it be heard through our mouth.
We must offer sacrifice to GOD three times each year.
We must keep the Festivals of Matzahas, of the Reaping of First Fruits and the Harvest Festival.
Three times each year every male must appear before GOD, the Master of the Universe.
GOD also commands that we "not appear before ME empty handed."
HE also commands we "Bring your First Fruits to the Temple of GOD your Lord."
It's always so interesting to read the actual ordinances, or judgements of GOD in HIS Word and their similarities to the very laws we have in our own countries today.
So many people today believe these "commandments" of GOD are irrelevant, that they were for a different time, or there's no way we could ever keep all of "those laws."
Yet here we read so very many laws of GOD that are on our very law books today.
So tell me how is it that we condemn the "laws" of the Bible yet adhere these same "laws" we believe are from man?
Bribery is illegal in our society. Yes, some get away with it, others do not, does that make it "irrelevant" or "out dated?" Does that make it, or excuse it as "impossible to follow?"
How is that any different than the Sabbath/Saturday? We have six days a week to do all that we wish, want or need, with only the Sabbath/Saturday as a day of rest, and a Day of Worship when we put down everything else and come before GOD to Worship HIM.
What is so difficult about this? How is this irrelevant today?
What is it that makes the Saturday Sabbath undesirable or un-observable from any other day?
Could it be the Sabbath's day of rest is Not self serving, but Holy in service to the Divine GOD that makes it undesirable, or irrelevant, or un-observable?
These are questions we simply must ask ourselves?
When and where did we take on the notion, or the lie, that we cannot keep the ordinances of GOD?
When did we become so much better than the Word of GOD that we no longer care to keep in obedience to HIM and HIS Word?
What has taken us from GOD and HIS ordinances, commandments, whatever you want to call them, and given us this self serving idea that GOD's Word isn't relevant to us anymore?
Has GOD changed, or have we?
It has actually been preached in church that the laws of GOD had to be made by GOD for no man would have set the bar so high he could not reach it.
I challenge this belief, this false theology and false teaching. GOD said when HE gave us these "laws" that HE did so knowing we could follow them.
Since GOD created us in HIS image, wouldn't it make sense that HE created "laws" simple enough for us to follow? After all, who would know us better than our Creator?
What are your thoughts on these scriptures?

Accounting Rules to Calculate Return on Investments
Original post by Cindy Quarters of Demand Media
Determining the return on an investment -- the ROI -- is an important part of having an investment portfolio. Knowing the ROI allows an investor to decide whether she is making the best use of her investment funds. There are different ways to calculate return on investment, and various factors to consider.
ROI Basics
The return on investment is calculated based on various factors, and it is expressed as a percentage. This makes it possible to accurately compare different types of investments. To get the most accurate picture of the true ROI, it is important to factor in all costs. However, for a quick glimpse at how investments are doing, the details can be overlooked to focus on the big picture.
Simple ROI
The simple ROI is the most basic method of determining the return on an investment. To calculate a simple ROI, take the amount the investment has gained in value, subtract the cost of the investment, then divide that number by the cost in order to come up with the ROI. The accounting formula for this method is written like this: ROI = (GV-C)/C. GV represents the gain in value and C is the investment cost.
Annual ROI
A calculation for annual return on investment is done slightly differently than simple ROI, to determine how well the investment has performed during the year. It is similar to the simple ROI, but it looks at a different set of numbers. The value of the investment at the beginning of the year -- BYV -- is subtracted from the value of the investment at the end of the year -- EYV. Any dividends -- D -- are added to the total. The resulting number is then divided by the value from the beginning of the year. The formula for this is ROI = [(EYV-BYV) + D] / BYV.
Although following some simple accounting rules helps determine the overall return on investment, some other important factors also affect the investment's value. Such things as taxes, insurance and trading fees all reduce the ROI and should be accounted for by deducting them from the value of the investment. These costs can be significant, and they should not be overlooked when determining the true return on an investment.

Two Finger Lakes Community College student clubs and a Canandaigua Lake protection group have partnered to present an in-depth look at hydrofracking over four evenings on April 1, 5, 7 and 8 at the FLCC main campus.
The 2011 Hydrofracking Symposium will feature films and speakers, including representatives from the oil and gas industry and from the Committee to Preserve the Finger Lakes, which opposes the procedure.
Hydrofracking involves pumping high pressure streams of water and chemicals into the Marcellus shale deposits beneath portions of the eastern United States to free natural gas trapped within the rock formation.
The FLCC chapter of the Wildlife Society and the Finger Lakes Environmental Action Club have worked with the Canandaigua Lake Watershed Association to schedule four events from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. each night in Room D214 on the second floor of the main campus, 3325 Marvin Sands Dr. All events are free and open to the public.
The schedule is as follows:
Friday, April 1: Showing of the film, "Gasland," made by documentary filmmaker Josh Fox after a company approached him to lease his land.
Tuesday, April 5: Showing of the film "All Fracked Up," by Jeff and Jodi Andrysick of Hammondsport, who will attend and be available for questions after the film.
Thursday, April 7: Dr. Scott Cline, consulting geologist and petroleum engineer, and John Holko, president of Lenape Resources Inc. and secretary of the Independent Oil and Gas Association of New York, will discuss energy use, shale gas development in New York, horizontal drilling, the hydraulic fracturing process and materials and New York's economic future and its oil and gas regulation.
Friday, April 8: Jack Ossont of the Committee to Preserve the Finger Lakes, Jim Barre of the Keuka Lake Watershed Association and Joe Heath, attorney and natural resources leasing expert, will discuss negative environmental impacts of the procedure in Pennsylvania with a focus on well water and aquifer contamination and legal information about signing a lease with a gas company.For more information, contact the Canandaigua Lake Watershed Association at (585) 394-5030.

Hoisin Sauce - Microwave
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 5 mins
Quite a while back, I was visiting my friend Katy, and started flipping through pages of her Kenmore microwave book. At that time I was "playing" with all kinds of Chinese recipes, so I copied this recipe for hoisin sauce. I've had a request to post it here on Zaar.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 8 ounces beef broth
- 4 ounces soy sauce
- 4 ounces dry sherry
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot or 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1⁄8 teaspoon black pepper
- Combine all ingredients in a 4 cup glass microwaveable container and stir well.
- Cover with plastic and cook on high power for 4 to 4 1/2 minutes or until thickened.
- This makes about 1 3/4 cups sauce.

This turned out good just like the store bought. Same taste, same consistency and so much cheaper to make. This only took a few minutes to make. I only made half a batch not knowing how long it will keep. I used everything but the tomato paste, I didn't want to open a whole can for only 1 Tbl. so I used ketchup instead. Still turned out great.
Thank you so much for posting this. I love the fact that I can control what goes in this sauce and the taste is AMAZING!!! Didn't have sherry so I left it out, and added probably 1/4-1/2 cup sugar as another reviewer did, and also used fresh ginger . I made this on the stove top, and it takes no time at all. I would never buy bottled after tasting this. Thank you so much I will be making this often.
This was easy and delicious! I did have to make a few substitutions: for beef broth I used chicken broth, and for sherry I used white wine. I also prefer the sauce a little bit sweeter, so I added about 1 Tbsp each of brown sugar and honey. This made a good 2 1/2 cups of hoisin sauce, which I will use completely over the next few weeks while playing Chinese New Year Tag! Thanks, Breez!

The first enemy attack on Australian soil in the history of the Commonwealth of Australia occurred at 9.58am on Thursday 19 February 1942. The small Northern Territory town of Darwin suffered an air-raid attack by 188 Japanese aircraft. At the time of the attack the civilian population numbered less than 2000.
The man who had led the attack on Pearl Harbour, Mitsuo Fuchida, was in command of this first attack on Darwin. It had been launched from four carriers, Akagi, Soryu, Hiryu and Kaga, about 500km to the northwest.
The increased advance of the Japanese war-machine after Pearl Harbour, some efforts were made to increase the defence of the Darwin area. Darwin was base for the 7th Military District of Australia. Larrakeyah Barracks contained men of the 23rd Australian Infantry Brigade. There were also two Australian Infantry anti-aircraft batteries. The important RAN base at Darwin included a floating dock. The RAAF was represented at a base, built in 1940, 8km south of Darwin.
Unfortunately, a radar station at Dripstone Caves outside Darwin was not yet operational. Radar at this time was a newly invented aid, however, this was eventually of great help in forestalling subsequent air attacks on Darwin.
Civil defence left much to be desired. By late December most white and Asian women and children had been evacuated from the town. Little thought seemed to have been given to the large Aboriginal population. They were expected to fend for themselves, and it was expected they would return to the relative safety of their outlying Communities.
The white women who stayed, about 63, were for the most part employed in essential services, such as nursing and telegraphy. Some civilians and organisations had dug slit trenches and there had been several trial air-raid alarms, but overall defences were completely inadequate. A tragedy of errors was about to unfold.
By late February Port Darwin had become an important staging point for ship convoys and aircraft on their way to the fighting to the north-west. The port was particularly crowded on the 19th February.
A convoy of ships carrying Australian and American troops and supplies, escorted by USS Houston, had returned to port after an attack by Japanese aircraft and submarines. (Their objective had been embattled Timor). This added to the congestion of the port, which contributed to the large number of casualties that followed.
Coastwatchers, often civilian and largely unknown and unsung, proved to be a vital part of the Australian war effort. Forty-three minutes before the bombing, John Gribble, a coastwatcher on Melville Island, radioed the naval station that a large number of aircraft was flying toward Darwin. A few minutes later, Father John McGrath, of the Catholic mission station on Bathurst Island, radioed Lou Curnock of the Darwin Australian Amalgamated Wireless station reporting a similar message. Curnock immediately transmitted this to the RAAF. These warnings were not acted upon, thus increasing the number of casualties as ships and planes were not moved.
The RAAF Operations Centre was not concerned. Despite the different direction from which the planes were travelling the RAAF officers believed that the aircraft were American P40 Kittyhawks which had been forced by bad weather to return from a sortie to Timor.
In fact, nine of the ten US Kittyhawks were approaching the airfield as the Japanese Zeros flew in and the Kittyhawks were shot down immediately. Four US pilots were killed in the initial attack. The airbase was therefore unable to mount any counterattack. It was up to the anti-aircraft batteries to try to defend the town. Although they kept up a continuous barrage from their gun emplacements, only one Japanese aeroplane was shot down by their fire.
The main target for the first attack was Darwin's harbour. There were upwards of 45 ships in the port, including the US destroyer Peary. Within minutes Peary had been sunk with a loss of 80 lives. Sunk also was the large US transport Meigs, though with a loss of only two lives. The Australian ship Neptuna, formerly a passenger vessel, was hit. Loaded with heavy explosives, it blew up with a terrifying explosion. The ship's captain, William Michie, and 45 crew members were killed. Five merchant ships were sunk. The hospital ship Manunda was hit but survived to play an important role in caring for the injured. Four people on the Manunda were killed including a nurse, Sister Margaret de Mestre.
One of the most dramatic events of the affray involved HMAS Katoomba, a corvette being repaired in the floating dry dock. Although the ship was trapped in the dock its captain, Commander A.P. Cousin, RANR, ordered the 12-pounder high-angle gun and Vickers machine guns, together with rifle fire, to open up on the enemy dive bombers. Both ship and dock survived, largely undamaged.
Just before the air-raid alarm and the arrival of the Japanese planes, 70 waterside workers had been unloading the Neptuna and Barossa on the right-angled extension of the long pier. When the pier was hit many wharf labourers were marooned on the edge. Dozens of men were blown into the water only to have to swim through burning oil. Twenty-two are known to have died.
There were many heroic acts as the dead and dying and survivors were plucked from the water by men in small boats.
In the town the Post Office had been hit and nine peopled killed. These were the Postmaster, Hurtle Bald, his wife Alice, and daughter Iris, four women who had remained in their essential jobs as telephonists, Emily Young, Eileen and Jean Mullen, Freda Stasinowsky, their supervisor, Archibald Halls, and another PMG worker Arthur Wellington. The air-raid trench in which they had sought shelter in the Post Office garden had received a direct hit. Walter Rowling, a telephone technician, later died from injuries sustained in the raid. Darwin Hospital was also bombed, fortunately with no loss of life.
The Administrator of the Northern Territory, Charles Abbott, his wife Hilda, and members of his staff sheltered from the bombing under Government House. Daisy Martin, an Aborigine, and one of the Administrator's maids, died when a concrete block fell on her. All the others survived. There were some extraordinary stories of escape from injury, such as that related by Douglas Lockwood in his graphic book on the bombing, 'Australia's Pearl Harbour'.
Reginald Rattley, a telephone mechanic, had tried to shelter with the Postmaster's group but found the trench too crowded. He then raced to shelter over the Esplanade cliff to the beach. As he jumped a bomb-blast lifted him bodily on to the sand where he landed in relative safety and remarkably uninjured.
By 10.30am the first raid was over. It had lasted just over half an hour.
The shocked surviving population, was just emerging from cover and trying to assess the damage and dig out the trapped and dead when, at 11.58am, the attack resumed.
The second raid was launched from land in the Celebs and Ambon, recently occupied by the Japanese. This time the airfield was the target, the Zeros strafing and saturation bombing the airstrip with its easily targeted, un-camouflaged aircraft. The remaining Kittyhawk was destroyed together with a Liberator, three Beechcraft, three US Navy Catalina's, six RAAF Hudsons and a Tiger Moth. Surprisingly, only seven men were killed, including Wing-Commander Archihbald Tindal RAAF, who Tindal Air Base is named after in Katherine, NT.
Air Force and military personnel did not, on the whole, feature well in many of the events immediately following the end of the bombing. The lack of preparation, the lack of trust in a Coastwatchers report, and the lack of leadership and control of the aftermath meant a recipe for panic
Hundreds of Darwin civilians acted the way many people do under war conditions: they became refugees, leaving the town by any means they could. But many RAAF personnel also fled. Nearly 50 years later, the events of 19 February 1942 at the RAAF base are still not fully explained.
It seems that immediately after the bombing the commander, Wing-Commander Stuart Griffiths, gave an order for the men to "go half a mile down the road to Adelaide Waters and half a mile into the bush". Among many of the largely undisciplined and thoroughly scared airmen, this order was taken as 'go bush' meaning they disappeared and many not seen in Darwin again. One is reported to have kept going until he arrived in Melbourne thirteen days later.
By the weekend order had been restored, but not until after some extraordinary behaviour. There had been widespread looting of the deserted houses and businesses by civilians and military men of the Australian Army Provost Corps. Some of the looting was justified on the grounds that goods were being requisitioned for military use. There are, however, stores of refrigerators, pianos and other valuable items being sent south to the families of the looters.
Within days a Royal Commissioner, Mr Justice Lowe of the Supreme Court of Victoria, was appointed to investigate both the civil defence implications and the behaviour of civilians and servicemen. Among the findings of the Lowe Report, which was not released until 1945, were that 243 people had been killed and between 300 and 400 injured, that earlier warnings would have saved lives, and that "unfortunate panic" was rife among civilians and servicemen.
It is often forgotten that the air-raids of 19 February were only the first of more than 60 raids over the next eighteen months, although none was as severe as those of 19 February. The last raid took place on 12 November 1943. The Japanese also bombed several other northern Australian towns. On 3 March the undefended Western Australian town of Broome suffered a devastating attack. Flying boats, loaded with refugee women and children from the Dutch East Indies, were destroyed and many lives lost. Later in the month the tiny town of Wyndham was bombed.
Darwin came under military control after 22 February. The Administrator left Darwin on 2 March for Alice Springs, from where the Territory was governed until 1945, when civil rule returned. The Darwin area became a large Allied base for the offensive to drive the Japanese back from South East Asia. On 28 March General Edmund Herring, just back from the Middle East, took command and from this time the area was adequately defended.
The initial bombing of Darwin on 19 February 1942 was both the first and the largest single attack mounted by a foreign power against Australia. On this day, 242 Japanese aircraft attacked ships in Darwin's harbour and the town's two airfields in an attempt to prevent the Allies from using them as bases to contest the invasions of Timor and Java. The town was only lightly defended, and the Japanese inflicted heavy losses upon the Allied forces at little cost to themselves. The urban areas of Darwin also suffered some damage from the raids, and there were a number of civilian casualties.
This event has often called the "Pearl Harbor of Australia". Although it was a less significant military target, a greater number of bombs were dropped on Darwin than were used in the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Australian government downplayed the damage from the bombing raids on Darwin believing its publication would represent a psychological blow to the Australian population. This of course has left many unaware of the extent of attacks on Australian soil, even today. The raids were the first and largest of almost 100 air raids against Australia during 1942–43 which left over 330 Australians dead on our own shores.

Cavalier stun Boys' Town
Ryon Jones, Staff Reporter
Cavalier got off to a winning start in the second round of the Red Stripe Premier League, as they turned the tables on Boys' Town, after clipping the first end-of-round champions 1-0 yesterday at Stadium East, to avenge the defeat they suffered in the corresponding fixture in the opening round.
Cavalier's leading scorer, Clau-dious Blackburn, got the game's lone goal in the 44th minute. The win, which was only Cavalier's fifth of the season, propelled them from 10th to seventh in the 12-team table, with 16 points. Boys' Town were relegated to third in the standings, on 22 points, as Portmore United (23) moved into second.
Former national senior team coach Carl Brown, who sat in for Boys' Town's regular coach Andrew Price, who was away with the national beach football team, believed his team was still recovering from the end-of-round final.
Time to reflect
"It is always difficult to get a team motivated that has just won a final," Brown said.
"They gave a spirited performance in the second half and it is just a bit unlucky that we didn't get the win here tonight.
"It is good thing that this is the first game in the second round, as it gives us some time to reflect and pick ourselves back up."
Boys' Town created the first clear goal-scoring opportunity of the game in the 23rd minute when Xavian Virgo was beautifully played through on goal by Rafiek Thomas, but with the keeper at his mercy he opted for power, from eight yards out, and ended up placing his shot high and wide of the target.
Cavalier took the lead with their first meaningful attack a minute before half-time when Blackburn netted his fourth goal of the season. Blackburn fired home from close range after Boys' Town had failed to clear their lines from a left-sided corner.
McPherson pulled off a spectacular save in the 76th minute, one that some of the best keepers around the world would have been pleased with. He flung himself to his right effecting a one-handed save from a bullet header from Boys' Town's Shane Edwards.
"You expect your goalkeeper to turn up for you when all else fails and he (McPherson) did just that," Cavalier's coach David Laylor said.
"I am very pleased about beating Boys' Town at this particular point when they are at their highest and it says much for the club."

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
recycled oil drums, furniture
Last year when the Natural Home staff decorated Blair House, President Obama's guest house, for Christmas, we fell in love with VivaTerra's oil drum angels. Made from the scores of oil drums washed up on Haiti's shores, the angels are simple, elegant—and make good use of a sadly abundant resource. (They're also on sale now that Christmas has passed.)
I'm happy to see that artisans everywhere are discovering the oil drum and using it as a versatile new design material. From the "Bamako" scrap metal district of Mali, West Africa, to the Snodevormgevers design group in the Netherlands, designers and artists have been experimenting with discarded oil-drums' aesthetically versatile form to create rustic yet refined furniture collections that would enhance any natural home. I'm eyeing the "Ray" oil drum chair with a hidden storage compartment (because who doesn't need more storage?) for our family room. I suspect you might find something to love in one of the following four oil drum-based collections.
