Skip to comments.Ann Coulter Throws a Temper Tantrum (BARF ALERT)
Posted on 01/22/2012 6:45:03 AM PST by stratboy
Ann Coulter was just on Fox and Friends. She was crying over the fact that Romney got decimated in South Carolina. She offered a few talking points from the Romney camp including:
1. Newt is the lease conservative of all Candidates running. 2. Newt is unelectable because of his failed marriages. 3. The Freddy Mac non-issue. 4. John K asked a legitimate question and he is a completely fair and honorable reporter. 5. South Carolina is going back to it democratic roots and backing someone who calls Obama a socialist.
She laid out the establishment talking point that everyone who voted for McCain, will vote for Romney, that we need to get the independents.
I never thought I'd agree with you on anything.
Thank you for your concern, JudyM. We're still not going to vote for Myth. ZOT!

Ann is awesome period. I do not think shes in LOVE with Romney neither am I. He, in her opinion, (one I share), is that Romney is merely the most electable. Newt IS NOT the conservative we need.
Hmmmm! Why did I just have an urge to spit?
I'm calling this one bullcrap.
And I'm a girl.
Oh, that's good. Very, very good.
LOL! Absolutely.
Just in case you missed the last debate, I suggest you listen to Newt take on / down John King and the SRM. He took that first question and hit a home run with his answer. He has the spine we need to take on 0 bummer. IBTZ!
you wrote:
"She recently said Romney is the most conservative candidate in the race, and that was before Perry dropped out."
In the race, yes, but not conservative overall. Remember, Ann begged the NJ gov. to jump in.
Interesting. I missed that. Link?
Get her flat on her back and give her a snack!
It looks like Coulter is coming out with a new book, "How to Talk to a CONSERVATIVE (If You Must)".
To think I used to respect that harpy. I/we didn't change. It did.
well, bye.
Can I get some lightning here?
Ah heck, I responded to the wrong post. I meant to respond to pinetop's.
Sorry, Common Sense 101. My bad!!!!
I have not missed an election, primary, or runoff election since I turned 21 and first voted in the Tennesse 1964 primary election and I've NEVER voted for a democrat or in a democrat primary, donated to and worked for many candidates who I did not totally agree with, especially presidential candidates. I know the beginnings of and history of the Republican Party and they have for many years been "the party of fiscal responsibility," only not in practise. The "Conservative" element of the party more often than not has to hold their nose to vote election day, the country can't afford the disaster this time that occured four years ago. In the late sixties the leaders of the Republican party would describe the democrats as "the loyal opposition" and would go on to say "We have the same goals, just a different way of arriving at them" this was and is BS. This is the same group that got rid of Newt and if you look at his accomplishments and at the reduced spending during his tenure and the spending spree that started when the successflly deposed him. This is the same group yhat is opposing him today. I choose to refer to them as Rino Elitest at times even though I send them money and help them win elections out of what I see as no viable altertanative at times. Rino Elitest is actually not as bad as some things those of my ilk get called by democrats, media and RINOS. I have refrained from using tha name for years but I'm sick and tired of the only alternative to the democrat party being controlled by a minority and go about destroying Conservative Republicans. Forty percent of Americans describe themselves and we are allowing a minority to control the Republican party and set the rules for primaries and the convention to favor the "establishment" Republicans, if you like that better than "RINO ELITEST", Conservatives in all states need to find out how to participate in their precient caucus, take their beighbors get conservatives elected to the county and state conventions and or run for party office or for delegates where this is the procedure. This has been my hope for the Tea Party, to unite with Conservatives and make the Republican Party a truly "Conservative" Party.
courtesy ping
It is for me as well. All of Coulter's other's positions since then have been mere confirmation that she can not be trusted.
He is Obama 2.0.
There is NO difference between Obama and his 'core values' and Romney and his 'core values'.
I agree with you. I disagree with Ann's support of Romney but let's not hold her or any of our conservative pundits/commentators to higher standards than we do our candidates for office.
If conservative Republicans can forgive Gingrich for supporting Dede Scazzafava, I'm sure we can forgive Ann for supporting Romney.
If we can overlook Gingrich calling Ryan's plan to cut spending "right wing social engineering" then we can overlook the stupid things that Ann says once in a while.
To be added or removed from the Viking Kitty/ZOT Ping List, FReepmail Darkwing104 or 50mm.
And You point was proven by women not voting for Newt Gingrich in SC? NOT
Better read up on it.
Women are not dumb. They see a set up job by the Lamestream, Romney as everyone else that watched the debates!
They are ANGRY with this administration and Romney is a mirror image.
And, I never said that any Republican doesn't belong here.
I meant to respond to pinetops. Sorry, Common Sense 101. My bad!!!!
I caught that, piytar.
OMG! The Right Wing Judy Garland?
Judy must be spinning in her grave!
You recall that I have a minor campaign to make sure RINO is correctly used, so if someone was NEVER a Democrat, or never a member of a minor party (NY Conservative party, American Independent, Independence, Communist, etc.) they can't ever have been anything other than a Republican.
At the same time they might well be Leftists, or Rightists.
We have more than enough words to cover Leftists. We are short on words to cover Rightists (and this is all in the European sense since we don't really have that sort of political variation in American politics). We do not now nor have we ever had a serious ROYALIST faction! ~ for example ~
As I understand it Newt's recommendation was just a perfunctory "let's support the new Republican nominee for xyz"~ she was chosen by the District Committee, not in a primary. The Conservative candidate didn't run as a Republican did he?
Anyway, the Democrat won, he served one term and then he was replaced by this young Republican who thought he could peddle his body to aspiring young starlets or something ~ and advertised it on Craig's list.
No doubt Tony Wiener would have been well advised to notice what happened there.
Let us hope that district gets some party leadership who know what to do in competitive situations.
I think the screwballs in that district started all the screw-ups.
Ann's not a Birther so she just has no feel for that complex argument. On the other hand she's a Mittbot, and just has no feel for anything ~ she's gotta' be numb to sponsor Romney.
Correction: Ann WILL get it and I don't mean comprehension.
Ann Coulter has morphed into a blonde anorexic version of Peggy Noonan and both of them would be delighted if they had been born with the name 'Megan Marshack'.
Peggy Noonan = Was always a RINO.
Ann Coulter = Went over to the dark side, now a Romney-RINO.
All the good that Ann has done with her prior exemplary writing is being undone by her insane flight from reality in backing Mitt-Witt.
cue Yoda: "a sad little thing, Coulter is"
The Article II presidential eligibility clause within our Constitution is clear and concise. So is the definition of natural born Citizen as understood by the Founders and put forth in their own writing, as well as in the Law of Nations and subsequent Supreme Court decisions.
Coulter knows Obama is NOT eligible. Her position is a calculated one.
Natural born citizen, of course, isn't "clear" at all.
It is if you look to the original intent of the Founding fathers. And that is what matters.
An outsider who brought Socialized medicine in Massachusetts, a gun grabber and has flipped on about every issue.
No thank you!
Are we in FReeper "timeout?"
FYI--Nobody, regardless of age, likes a tattle-tail.
Do you think JR and the mods need help zotting? If so, what makes you and DV think it's your advice they need?
IOW, mind your own business.
Still, what's the point of electing a liberal? We need to start to reverse the leftist agenda, not just slow it down.
I understand and I agree. Let's also be honest, it will be difficult for ANY Republican to get elected over Obama. I used to think Mickey Mouse could beat him after the last 3 years. I'm not so sure now.
Oh, yes, TREASON is the primary thing in the Constitution when it comes to what the Founders thought about the ties of parents to children.
Even in TREASON there is no attainture of blood ~ that means, the children do not inherit the penalty.
Inmany countries it is commonly the case then when your debt ridden ancestor dies the members of the family OWE HIS DEBTS.
Actually they can and we have them in Southern states as well as nationally. There are many that are either are un-principled or have socialist or democrat or just a tendency to spend, many of these don't have the courage to run as what they are and they will run and many times get elected as Republicans but don't vote as a Republican ( RINO ). Many of these congregate in some areas and basically control the party to the exclusion of Conservatives (ELITEST). English is a wonderful language, industry, admen scientist, and journalist can create new words overnight, individuals can use words in ways that they were not previously used or intended and still communicate. It was not my mistake to use the term "Rino Elitest", it conveyed what I meant to say and I seriously doubt anyone misunderstood me including you. We have too much crap going on to spend any more time on this.
Spit it out ~ make yourself clear.

Poem Title:
I heard an angel speak last night, And he said 'Write! Write a Nation's curse for me, And send it over the Western Sea.' I faltered, taking up the word: 'Not so, my lord! If curses must be, choose another To send thy curse against my brother. 'For I am bound by gratitude, By love and blood, To brothers of mine across the sea, Who stretch out kindly hands to me.' 'Therefore,' the voice said, 'shalt thou write My curse to-night. From the summits of love a curse is driven, As lightning is from the tops of heaven.' 'Not so,' I answered. 'Evermore My heart is sore For my own land's sins: for little feet Of children bleeding along the street: 'For parked-up honors that gainsay The right of way: For almsgiving through a door that is Not open enough for two friends to kiss: 'For love of freedom which abates Beyond the Straits: For patriot virtue starved to vice on Self-praise, self-interest, and suspicion: 'For an oligarchic parliament, And bribes well-meant. What curse to another land assign, When heavy-souled for the sins of mine?' 'Therefore,' the voice said, 'shalt thou write My curse to-night. Because thou hast strength to see and hate A foul thing done within thy gate.' 'Not so,' I answered once again. 'To curse, choose men. For I, a woman, have only known How the heart melts and the tears run down.' 'Therefore,' the voice said, 'shalt thou write My curse to-night. Some women weep and curse, I say (And no one marvels), night and day. 'And thou shalt take their part to-night, Weep and write. A curse from the depths of womanhood Is very salt, and bitter, and good.' So thus I wrote, and mourned indeed, What all may read. And thus, as was enjoined on me, I send it over the Western Sea. The Curse Because ye have broken your own chain With the strain Of brave men climbing a Nation's height, Yet thence bear down with brand and thong On souls of others, -- for this wrong This is the curse. Write. Because yourselves are standing straight In the state Of Freedom's foremost acolyte, Yet keep calm footing all the time On writhing bond-slaves, -- for this crime This is the curse. Write. Because ye prosper in God's name, With a claim To honor in the old world's sight, Yet do the fiend's work perfectly In strangling martyrs, -- for this lie This is the curse. Write. Ye shall watch while kings conspire Round the people's smouldering fire, And, warm for your part, Shall never dare -- O shame! To utter the thought into flame Which burns at your heart. This is the curse. Write. Ye shall watch while nations strive With the bloodhounds, die or survive, Drop faint from their jaws, Or throttle them backward to death; And only under your breath Shall favor the cause. This is the curse. Write. Ye shall watch while strong men draw The nets of feudal law To strangle the weak; And, counting the sin for a sin, Your soul shall be sadder within Than the word ye shall speak. This is the curse. Write. When good men are praying erect That Christ may avenge His elect And deliver the earth, The prayer in your ears, said low, Shall sound like the tramp of a foe That's driving you forth. This is the curse. Write. When wise men give you their praise, They shall praise in the heat of the phrase, As if carried too far. When ye boast your own charters kept true, Ye shall blush; for the thing which ye do Derides what ye are. This is the curse. Write. When fools cast taunts at your gate, Your scorn ye shall somewhat abate As ye look o'er the wall; For your conscience, tradition, and name Explode with a deadlier blame Than the worst of them all. This is the curse. Write. Go, wherever ill deeds shall be done, Go, plant your flag in the sun Beside the ill-doers! And recoil from clenching the curse Of God's witnessing Universe With a curse of yours. This is the curse. Write.

Water is an important item to offer in the break room, whether it is used to fill the coffee maker or an employee's water glass. There are three main methods for providing your employees with water. However, some water sources are friendlier on your pocketbook and the environment.
Bottled Water
In the last ten to fifteen years, the bottled water industry has exploded around the world into a multi-billion dollar industry. Nations have accepted bottled water as a part of their culture, and many office break rooms have bottles in the fridge or vending machine. Here are some of the key features of bottled water:
- Convenience. Bottled water provides an easy way to get cold water for your employees, as long as the refrigerator is kept stocked. The bottles themselves are easy to carry around and can be refilled from the tap.
- Bottles can be recycled. The water bottles are made of a thin plastic that any recycling center should be able to recycle into other plastic products.
- Advertised as being healthier than tap water. One of the big selling points of bottled water is that it comes from a natural mountain spring, artesian well or other clean-sounding source of water and is touted as being healthier than tap water.
With the green movement sweeping the nation, bottled water has come under greater scrutiny, and it has been found that 85% of the water bottles that are purchased end up in landfills. Also, journalistic investigations have shown that many of the bottled water companies are using regular tap water, not water from a mountain spring as their advertising suggests.
Water Cooler
Installing a water cooler in the break room is another option for providing water to your employees. They give employees a place to stand around and gossip, and there are several reasons why water coolers are a better option than bottled water.
- Water jugs are refillable. Depending on how much water your company goes through, the water company will come on a daily or weekly basis to replace the water jugs. The empty jugs are taken back to the plant where they are cleaned and refilled. This fact alone makes water coolers a greener option than bottled water.
- ENERGY STAR® coolers are available. Water coolers that have earned the ENERGY STAR use less electricity to heat and cool the water and have better insulation. These two facts add up to a smaller energy bill.
- They dispense hot and cold water. Many water coolers have two separate faucets, one to dispense cold water, the other for hot. The hot water faucet allows employees to make their hot tea, oatmeal or cup-of-noodles faster than using the microwave.
- Leasing company maintains machine. Water coolers are leased and maintained by private companies, so your maintenance crew does not have to worry about fixing the cooler or replacing the empty jugs.
A water cooler is probably the most eco-friendly form of bottled water. However, this comes at a cost. You have to pay the company to replace the water jugs and maintain the machine, but for some break rooms it is worth the cost.
Tap Water
The easiest and cheapest place to get your water is straight from the tap. Any break room that has a sink is set up to dispense this healthy, eco-friendly source of water.
- Cheapest source of water. Water from the tap costs pennies, whereas bottled water can cost more than a dollar per bottle and water coolers are a contracted service.
- Can be filtered to remove any bad tastes. A main turn-off for tap water is a potential for bad taste, but a simple filter can remove most of the impurities that cause foul tastes.
- Regulated by the EPA. The federal government has safety standards that regulate tap water, and 90% of the municipal water supplies in the United States meet these standards.
Tap water is the most eco-friendly source of water that a break room can provide. Rather than spending money on bottled water or water cooler services, all you have to provide here is a sink and faucet, and maybe some reusable beverage glasses. These are all one-time purchases that will keep your employees well hydrated, save you money and reduce the amount of plastic in the landfills.

Sounds Like: M83, The Cure, Slowdive, Radiohead, Pink Floyd
Label: Nebula Recordings USA/ Rocket Girl
"Skyward's celestial grandeur engages galactic techno through floating ghosts and flickering twitches. Cosmic free-falling crossing boundaries into alien electronics, drowsily resurfacing inside thick, moody atmospheres."
-John Noyd, Maximum Ink
"Holistic Science/Astronomy graduate and New Yorker Ryan Field-aka Skyward- wants to "express ideas about the universe through music". Either that or this is a lot of echo-crazed hippy noodling, a Tubular Bells for the post-DJ Sasha generation. Moved By Opposing Forces manages to be a completely immersive experience, brilliant in its uncompromising, trippy blend of rippling electronics and modulated guitars. The entrance of thin voices shunts it close to chill-out, but the wonderfully filthy bass on "Superblaster" and Hungry Ghost" kicks it back to life. Chris Roberts"

Dracula: A Classic Pop-Up Tale (Graphic Pops)
In this lavish version of Bram Stoker s Gothic tale, contemporary language and illustrations, similar to those found in graphic novels, transport readers back to Transylvania s Carpathian Mountains, where young Jonathan Harker first meets the Count, then on to Victorian London where Dracula unleashes his reign of terror on Harker s fianc e, Mina. Brooding images and dramatic 3-D scenes rise from the pages as the evil Count Dracula works his sinister spells on a new generation. Reluctant readers, horror fans, and pop-up collectors will marvel as Dracula, the world s most popular and feared vampire, literally jumps off the page in search of victims. With multiple interactive elements on every page, readers will undoubtedly shriek as they watch a cemetery s mist inch toward them, and, just when they ve caught their breath, try to keep in the sunlight as a stake is finally plunged into the heart of the villain. A superb example of paper engineering, this classic pop-up tale offers an interactive, blood-curdling experience while remaining true to the author s original version.

Mr. Tablecloth??!!??: "Shopping in Charlotte Amalie" Top 5 Page for this destination St. Thomas Shopping Tip by starship
St. Thomas Shopping: 39 reviews and 94 photos
If you like to shop, you'll notice that when you visit some of the them, you find there are quite a few "chain" stores and shopping on St. Thomas was probably where it all started. Of course, there are many "independent" shops, but the more you travel around the Caribbean islands, the more you'll find the recognizable names of stores like Diamonds International, Omni Jewelers,Little Switzerland, Touched by the Sun, Boolchand's and the distinctive, Mr. Tablecloth.
On St. Thomas, you'll find a jewelry store every 10 feet. If you know your prices and know something about jewelry, you may find that you can get some very decent deals in the islands. It's a great place to pick up that special anniversary jewelry, or even perhaps for a couple to pick out an engagement ring. The key thing is to take your time and shop around before you BUY.
Several years ago, we purchased a man's ring for my husband to replace the wedding ring he lost (accidental or not!?!) He chose a 14k gold ring with a pattern of pave diamonds which was $500 or less + no tax (duty)
Electronics, cameras, expensive watches, etc., can be a good deal at the island stores. "a T-shirt that goes from plain white to colorful in the sun? Find that and other sun-turning "colorful" items at "Touched by the Sun.
NOTE: Cruise ship passengers and others should look for the bevy of coupons available for free gifts (yes, free) with purchases or additional discounts. Check Tourist Info. centers or on your ship. We have been given little gold necklaces or bracelets; tiny diamond chip stud earrings; charms; frames; souvenirs, etc. It just depends on the type of store and the coupon.
What to buy: If you women are not in the market for any high end jewelry trip, how about Mr. Tablecloth? It is a great place for special linens of all sorts such as tablecloths (of course!!), table sets--placemats, napkins, runners, etc., accent table round cloths, and even sheets, pillowcases, nightgowns, pajamas and robes. The special adnornment of embroidery, smocking, battenburg lace, etc., is what makes these things special. Looks for linen, fine cottons, satins, or Jaguard fabrics. Prices range from a few dollars and up.
At Little Switzerland, look for those adorable tiny babyshoe charms, each decorated differently and collected for each child a mother has and to be worn on necklaces. They also carry LLadro, Lalique, Rado, Omega, Movado, Mikimoto, Tiffany, Tag Heurer and many other designer names.
What to pay: From a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars for jewelry, watches, cameras and electronics. Remember that shopping here is duty free but purchases must be claimed on custom forms. Also the amount of importable liquer and tobacco products is limited.

Harvey was Named Coach of the Year in 2003 by the Collegiate Rifle Coaches Association. He led Nevada to a fourth-place finish in the NCAA Championship Tournament in 2003, and followed that up with a second-place finish in 2004, the Wolf Pack's highest finish ever.
Rifle is the only NCAA sport to have men and women compete against one another directly, and Coach Harvey has no problems finding qualified candidates from both genders. Fred has coached 24 All-Americans in his 16-year career at Nevada. Ryan Tanoue won the 2002 NCAA Individual Air Rifle title.
"Coach (Harvey) is the reason I chose Nevada," All-American Meghan Morrill said. "He and I just clicked; he is a true player's coach."
Coach Harvey's resume is quite impressive, having earned his bachelor's degree in National Security and Public Affairs from the United States Military Academy at West Point. Harvey earned a master's degree in Procurement and Materials Management from Webster University. He also graduated from the British Army Staff College as well as the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College with honors (Master's Equivalent).
Along with his coaching duties, Harvey serves as a Supervisory Buyer for the Nevada System of Higher Education's Business Center North and was a professor of Military Science at the University of Nevada.
Harvey is married to wife Sheri, and they have two daughters, Sarah and DeAdre.
Harvey's favorite anecdote: "If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there."
He began coaching the Wolf Pack in the 1995-96 season.

The national office vacancy rate in South Africa has stabilised following four quarters of steady increase, according to the Sapoa/IPD Office Vacancy Survey.
The first quarter of 2012 office report reveals that the A grade vacancy rate is currently 8.7 percent, while P grade offices sit favorably at 1.7 percent.
The amount of new committed development has increased steadily over the past three quarters and is currently just over 700 000 square metres, while the ratio of un-let space has improved by 5 percentage points compared to a year ago, notes the report.
IPD report writer Sean Godoy explains that in Q1 2012, the national office vacancy rate improved slightly on aggregate for the first time since Q2 2010, albeit by 2 basis points to 10.35 percent.
"While this is a very marginal decrease it may signal that vacancy rates are beginning to stabilise somewhat, following four quarters of steady increases."
Godoy says the latest vacancy rate represents a 130 basis points increase over two years ago and a 45 basis points increase over one year.
He says prime office space continues to perform well with most prime nodes showing improvement this quarter.
Overall prime vacancies continue to outperform those of lower grade stock, with P grade showing significant strength following a 33 basis points improvement to 1.67 percent in the latest quarter.
A grade registered a marginal increase of 28 basis points to 8.73 percent.
C grade space recorded the largest improvement this quarter, with the national vacancy rate falling by 176 basis points to 16.41 percent.
He says while this is due in part to the trend of office to residential conversions in CBDs and upgrading of space in various nodes, it also indicates that there is some demand for CBD C grade space, particularly in Johannesburg and Pretoria.
The overall CBD vacancy rate is currently 15.2 percent, up marginally by 16 basis points from Q4 2011.
Vacancy rates in Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth improved in the fourth quarter of 2011 while in Pretoria, Durban and Cape Town vacancy rates increased.
Godoy says given the current economic outlook of low growth for 2012 there is unlikely to be any significant improvement in vacancies in the year ahead, with possible sideways movement or marginal improvement being the best-case scenarios.
The report notes that in Johannesburg & Environs, Illovo's prime office space commands the highest rentals of R200 per square metre while A office grade in this node have rentals ranging between R115 and R125 per square metre.
In the previous Sapoa/IPD report, Illovo was named the priciest office location in the country.
Read the article here.
Prime office spaces in Melrose and Waverly have rentals of R195 per square metre while A grade offices are priced at R100 per square metre.
Midrand prime offices cost R85 and A grade offices between R50 and R100 per square metre, Rosebank prime (R181.50 per square metre) A grade (between R100 and R195 per square metre), Sandton prime (between R133.50 and R190 per square metre), A grade (between R100 and R195), Woodmead A grade offices are priced between R85 and R130 and Greenstone/Edenvale and Modderfontein A grade offices cost between R105 and R119 per square metre.
In Port Elizabeth, prime office space in Greenacres costs R125 and A grade R80 per square metre, Newton Park prime costs between R120 and R127 per square metre, A grade R70 and A grade in Walmer and Fairview costs between R90 and R110 per square metre.
In Pretoria Gauteng, locations such as Brooklyn, Niew Muckleneuk, Groenkloof and Waterkloof command rentals of between R120 and R136 per square metre for A grade offices, Centurion (between R100 and R125 per square metre), Hatfield and Hillcrest A grade offices (between R120 and R134 per square metre) and A grade offices in Lynwood, Menlo Park and Hazelwood are priced between R120 and R149 per square metre.
According to the report, in Durban, prime office space in Hillcrest is priced between R75 and R177 per square metre, A grade in Ballito (between R70 and R143 per square metre) and Berea A grade costs between R90 and R115 per square metre.
In Cape Town, A grade offices at the Waterfront are priced between R100 and R170 per square metre, Century City A grade (between R85 and R130 per square metre) and Claremont A grade costs between R90 and R150 per square metre.

Baker Street Properties notes an increase in office vacancies in some nodes in Cape Town in the first quarter of 2012.
Dave Russell, director of Baker Street Properties, says with few new buildings coming on stream in the short term there is every possibility that vacancies may be reaching their peak.
Russell explains that significant change has been recorded in the Cape Town CBD, where combined vacancies are now reaching 12 percent and are at levels last seen in 2003.
Of greater concern is that in Claremont combined vacancies are heading towards 20 percent, up from 13.7 percent in the previous quarter.
He says the Rondebosch/Newlands node has experienced a substantial increase from 7.3 percent last quarter to 13 percent currently, while Bellville and Century City have shown more resilience with vacancy levels of 8.6 percent and 8.4 percent respectively.
The ever popular V&A Waterfront is one of the exceptions to the trend, as it is down to a combined vacancy of only 2.7 percent.
Russell points out that office vacancies in the Pinelands node remain low at 3.6 percent.
"Until we see a significant decrease in vacancies we will continue to experience flat rentals, which are well off their peak in 2008 when the global economic recession set in."
"Good economic growth and a return of business confidence are required before any change will be seen," he says.
It is difficult to predict when this will happen, so we could see the current trend continuing for at least the next 12 months.
"Current market conditions are good for tenants who are encouraged to take advantage of this soft market and the concessions currently offered by landlords," says Russell.
In Pretoria, Abacus Divisions property management points out that the multi-billion Rand Highveld Technopark in Centurion and its surrounds is undergoing substantial changes, which are expected to make the office park more alluring to businesses looking for value for money rental premises.
Org Geldenhuys, managing director of Abacus Divisions, says one of the main improvements would be a vastly improved access to the office park, something that was "causing concerns in the past'' - and arguably affecting tenant perception and the level of investment and rentals.
The Highveld Technopark, which focuses on high technological research and development, is situated just south of the Danie Joubert Highway and houses, among others, Telkom's National Operations Centre and Nokia Siemens Networks.
The Gautrain feeder bus route boasting seven stops in the office park and a newly constructed Witch-Hazel off ramp from the N1, providing access to the park are expected to boost the popularity of the office park as a business rental destination, he says.
The office park is now almost 90 percent completed and includes mostly A grade office developments and very stylish office buildings.
There are also small components of neat industrial and warehousing developed within the office park.
According to the Sapoa/IPD report, A grade offices in Highveld Technopark & extensions are priced between R100 and R148 per square metre while B grade offices cost between R60 and R75 per square metre.
Meanwhile, JHI Properties report that the commercial property market in the Western Cape is reflecting increased positive sentiment.
The agency concluded 255 leases in the region for 98 000 square metres of office, retail and industrial space.
They say these leases represent a contract value in total of almost R360 million, including sizeable office space in Cape Town CBD for tenants comprising provincial government, banks and professional services.
Selwyn Sharon, JHI Properties leasing, sales and investment broker, says a positive for the city is the major expansion of the highly successful Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) as well as a 10 000 square metre retail node, hotel and new flagship hospital - further boosting Cape Town's reputation as a global business destination.
He says as the worldwide trend is towards urbanisation and densification of cities, the obvious choice for new investment and construction in Cape Town is the Foreshore, which in addition to the CBD offers easy access to the N1, N2, railway station and new Integrated Rapid Transit network, with the latter being within walking distance of most Foreshore buildings.
"Cape Town CBD has a land scarcity and as a result shrewd investors have begun purchasing large office buildings on the Foreshore."
Some of these property investors intend extensively upgrading the buildings while still being very competitive with newer developments at Century City or in the heart of the CBD.
On the Foreshore the only additions of significance over the past decade have been the CTICC, the prime grade Convention Towers office block and a number of hotels.
As the world economy stagnated and even contracted since the recession in 2007, developers did not embark on new capital intensive projects in the city.
"With office vacancies in the city in the region of 86 000 square metres, landlords are able to reverse this trend through realistic expectations on rental rates and investing in upgrades to unlock value in their portfolios."
Sharon reveals that currently, opportunities exist to acquire well situated B grade buildings in the Cape Town CBD and refurbish to A grade quality to meet demand for such space.
According to Sharon, new developments are taking place in the Cape Town CBD including a new building under construction for a large legal practice at 22 Bree Street and the largest office development in Cape Town – Portside, which is a joint venture between FNB and Old Mutual.
Click here to read about the Portside office development.
"Over the past year developers with vision, taking advantage of the current low interest rates, have invested over R500 million in acquiring properties on the Foreshore," says Sharon.
These include Ingenuity Properties, which has consolidated an entire city block of office buildings by acquiring Atlantic Centre.
The centre is in the process of undergoing a complete refurbishment while the property on 31 Hertzog Boulevard has recently also been extensively upgraded.
Johannesburg Stock Exchange listed property loan stock, Vunani Properties, purchased the Foretrust Building and planning has begun on a possible upgrade.

Sharon says the entire Culemborg motor city area – located close to the harbour and adjoining properties will begin seeing major planning and construction of new mixed-use buildings of up to a total of 240 000 square metres over the next five to 10 years.
Other projects underway in Cape Town include Newspaper House in the central city area, a building which is undergoing a complete refurbishment with the new owners, Ingenuity Properties, creating more offices and retail areas.
The property on the corner of Castle and Burg Street is being rebuilt by Cape Empowerment Trust, its new owners, and the project is scheduled for completion by the end of 2012.
Renewed activity includes the Green Point area, where the old Satbel building is being completely refurbished with additional parking and extra lettable space set to become the new trendsetter on vibrant Somerset Road.
Also in Green Point, 70 Prestwich Street is being given a complete upgrade with large floors now able to accommodate smaller tenants with A grade offices and top finishes.
On the old Phoenix hotel site on the corner of Strand and Hudson Streets the Mirage project has commenced, thereby providing top end residential apartments in the De Waterkant area as well as a small retail component, says Sharon.
Sharon adds that on the Gardens side of the city, the Wembley Square area has a newly completed addition comprising a sizeable office building while two commercial properties in nearby Roeland Street are currently being refurbished. – Denise Mhlanga

Full members will receive a summary and a ballot to vote on the contract in the very near future. We will post a copy of the summary as soon as it's available. Thanks again and have a safe Memorial Day weekend!
- April 14, 2016: Thank you!
We want to extend a BIG THANK YOU to all of the Unit 12 members that participated in the rallies on Friday April 8, 2016 a three locations - Sacramento, Fresno and San Bernardino. Once again we got the attention of the State of California and as a result the efforts by all were a success. We have two (2) dates scheduled for the next round of bargaining, May 26-27, 2016. If there are any new developments we will post them here on this website.
- April 7, 2016: Attention Southern California Caltrans workers - SB1141
SB 1141, authored by Orange County Senator John Moorlach, is an anti-public employee bill that would steal jobs from Caltrans maintenance workers. Specifically, SB 1141 would launch a pilot program that allows two California counties to handle their own road maintenance needs, and to receive the road funding that typically would have been administered by Caltrans for those maintenance needs.
"County governments are much more accountable to the taxpayers than the bureaucracy at Caltrans," said Senator Moorlach in a recent newspaper article. "County governments know their needs and have a history of getting the job done. Senate Bill 1141 allows counties to prove they can do much better than Caltrans."
Operating Engineer's Sacramento lobbyists and other labor friendly associates have made it a top priority to kill SB 1141, which is scheduled for a hearing in the Senate Transportation & Housing Committee on April 19 in Sacramento.

- March 10, 2016: Negotiations were held on March 3rd and 4th. The parties reached an agreement on the majority of the outstanding issues but wages and retiree health care continue to be a sticking point. The Union team showed flexibility by proposing a four year agreement but the State still rejected it and refused to decrease their demand for 4.6% over three years out of your paycheck for retiree health care. Further bargaining sessions will be scheduled. In addition, we are planning upcoming rallies in different locations across the state and will announce those details soon. In the meantime, if you haven't signed the bargaining petition please do so and get it to your local union representative. You can also put pressure on the Director of CalHR Richard Gillihan to improve the state's offer by calling him at (916) 322-5193 or emailing him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

January 29, 2016: Negotiations January 29, 2016
IUOE and it's team met with the State of California today. We presented the results of our survey showing that over 90% of the votes came back indicating that our Members would not accept the State's current economic offer. The State told us that there is no more money. We are scheduled to go back to the table March 3rd & 4th.
Also present outside our negotiations, was a show of support from our membership. We had a large group of Unit 12 members rallying the CalHR building to show that Unit 12 is unhappy with the State's current offer. Click on photo to see larger image.
- January 29, 2016: Important Notice
The Union was recently informed that the State Controller's Office failed to deduct the new 2016 health care share of cost from your December 2015 paycheck. This could mean that the State will attempt to recoup the difference by an additional deduction this month or issue an accounts receivable. We understand that you will bear the burden of their mistake. You, the employee, will feel the impact, not the State. To add further insult, the State's position in bargaining has not changed. We had negotiations today and the State doesn't think you are worth more than a small raise wiped out by a takeaway. It is clear that the State does not value Unit 12 employees. We are not "worth" more than a 7% raise over three years and are expected to give back much of it (4.6% total!) to fund a future benefit in retiree health care. Members took an informal vote in January and overwhelming rejected this offer.
The State's latest error on health care deductions should not go unnoticed. If you are angered by the deduction mistake and by the State's bargaining, they need to hear from you. We encourage you to voice your displeasure by emailing and calling the Director of CalHR, Richard Gillihan at firstname.lastname@example.com and (916) 322-5193.
January 20, 2016: Update on contract negotiations
Ballots on our contract survey were counted today. The membership spoke loud and clear (over 90%) that they did not like the current offer by the State. We are going back to the table on January 29, 2016. We will keep you posted as updates become available.
- December 18, 2015
The State and the Unit 12 Bargaining Team met on December 2, 3 and 4th. The parties reached an agreement to roll over a number of existing provisions. The remaining issues have been narrowed down significantly. The parties remain at odds on two significant economic issues; salary and retiree health insurance. The State if offering a 7% raise over three years, broken down as a 3% raise effective July 1, 2016 and a 4% raise effective July 1, 2017. Unfortunately, this raise would be nearly wiped out by the State's demand that Unit 12 employees pay and additional 4.1 percent of their salary towards retiree health. With anticipated health care increases every year, this could put us in the negative by the end of the proposed agreement.
We have been in bargaining with the State for over eight months. The Union team has made economic proposals that are fair and justified. The State's last economic offer would do nothing to elevate our pay. Still, we must weigh this against the impact of health care increases while we are under our old contract. We are at an important crossroad in bargaining and would like to have our members weigh in on the last economic offer from the State. Thus, in the next few weeks, we will conduct an informal vote on the State's last offer. Please look out in the mail for a summary of the State's last economic offer and a ballot. We ask that you send it back promptly and the results of this vote will help us determine our direction in bargaining.
- November 11, 2015
The Unit 12 bargaining team met with the State during the first week of October and the first week of November 2015. As of this date, the State and the bargaining team have been unable to reach an agreement. The main issue still remains economics, however, we are still optimistic that we can have a full contract package to bring out to the membership for a vote. December 2nd, 3rd and 4th are the next scheduled dates for negotiations. The bargaining team is very aware and concerned with the upcoming Health care increases, however, we need to continue to fight for a fair contract for all of Unit 12. The provisions of the expired MOU (contract) dated July 1, 2013 through July 1, 2015 are still in effect until such time that a new agreement is reached.

- September 10, 2015: Bargaining Update
The Unit 12 bargaining team met with the State on Wednesday September 2, 2015. The State and the bargaining team were unable to reach a tentative agreement at this session. The Unit 12 chief negotiator is continuing to have dialogue with the State's chief negotiator to try and resolve the economic issues and get back to the bargaining table. The Unit 12 rank and file team has worked diligently to try and reach a reasonable agreement, however, has not been able to accept the State's current proposal. Currently there no dates scheduled for further bargaining, however, we are ready to resume negotiations and expect to have future dates shortly. The provisions of the expired MOU (contract) dated July 1, 2013 through July 1, 2015 are still in effect until such time that a new agreement is reached.
- Bargaining Update for the weeks of Aug. 10th and Aug 17th, 2015
Bargaining for the week of August 17th took place on the 19th and 20th. The State of California and the Unit 12 team as of the close of business on the 20th have not reached an agreement. Economics, including the classification salary adjustments and the general salary increases are still the outstanding issues. The bargaining Unit 12 team does not have any future bargaining sessions scheduled at this time.
- August 18, 2015: Bargaining Update
The bargaining session was cancelled for August 12 & 13. Bargaining is scheduled to resume on August 19 & 20. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
- August 3, 2015: Bargaining Update for the weeks of July 20th and July 27th, 2015
The past two (2) bargaining sessions with the State (July 23, 24 and July 28, 29, 30) were productive until the meeting on July 29th. Prior to the 29th 98% of the contract language has now been addressed and tentatively agreed upon by all parties. The Unit 12 team on July 29th, however, ran into a substantial issue regarding economics and decided to walk away from the table and cancel the secession on the 30th until the State can address our economic concerns. The next secession is scheduled for August 11th 2015.
July 14, 2015: The union has also proposed additional economic proposals to help relieve classification that are severely under market. These efforts will help mitigate the recruitment and retention problem the state of California is experiencing. It's also been widely reported through the media that the Governor wants all state employees to contribute 50% of the normal cost to OPEB. This benefit is the state employees retirement health and welfare, which is severely underfunded. Reports indicate there is a $72 Billion deficit state wide. BU12's portion of that number is $3.5 billion. The State wants additional contribution from our members. We are currently in discussion across the table regarding this topic. We will keep updated as information comes available.
- July 13, 2015: Bargaining Update for the weeks of June 29th and July 6th 2015
The past two (2) bargaining sessions with the State were productive as the majority of the language changes have been addressed and tentatively agreed upon by all parties. The Unit 12 team has passed thirty (30) plus economic proposals and are waiting for the States response on all of them. The next sessions are scheduled for July 23rd and 24th 2015.
- June 22, 2015: Bargaining Update for the weeks of June 8th and 15th, 2015
The past two (2) bargaining sessions with the State were very slow going. The discussion's at the table were centered around the language in the contract and if there needed to be any changes. The State's bargaining team, however, passed their first economic proposal and the Unit 12 team will be reviewing and preparing a counter. The pace of bargaining should pick up in the next session scheduled for June 30th and July 1st 2015.
- May 21, 2015: The Unit 12 Team met with the State again on May 19 - 20, 2015. These meetings consisted of five (5) additional classification presentations with testimony from rank and file Unit 12 members. As of this week, there have been nine (9) classifications brought to the table and discussed with the State's bargaining team. Our team passed a handful of economic proposals and the State passed proposals to roll over existing contract language. The next bargaining sessions are scheduled for June 10 - 11, 2015. Stay tuned for updates as they become available.
- May 11, 2015: The Unit 12 Team met with the State three (3) times, April 21, May 7 and 8, 2015. The first meeting consisted of going over contract language and looking at any articles that do not need to be changed (roll over). The meetings held on May 7 and 8 resulted in the first round of discussions concerning classifications that need to be updated and fixed. We heard testimony from rank and file employees regarding the pay disparity and the State's team was very impressed. The next bargaining sessions are scheduled for May 19-20, 2015.
- March 9, 2015: As most of you are aware, IUOE State Unit 12 bargaining with the state is scheduled to take place early April 2015 and will be on going until such time that the bargaining team reaches an agreement. At that point the agreement will be presented to our members to be voted on.
IUOE wants to hear from our members regarding bargaining so we have extended the Feb. 27 deadline and will continue to except bargaining unit 12 contract survey to the end of March. At this point we have received over 2,500 survey. I would like to thank the members that took the time to complete and send the survey. For those members that still want to complete a survey, use this link but send it to us no later than March 31.
- January 22, 2015: We will be going back to the table to negotiation a new contract with the State of California, as ours expires July 1, 2015.
We value your input and need to hear from you on what items are important to you and your family. Please complete this survey and fax or email it back to us at your first opportunity. (We need these back by February 27, 2015.)

The Clinical Sprague features a classic design emulating the original Rappaport Sprague. This five-in-one stethoscope features dual 16" PVC tubing for superior sound transmission. Technologically advanced Latex eartips provide a comfortable fit for the professional, while the Comfort Touch Technology Bell delivers a pleasant experience for the patient. The diaphragm & drum configuration have been enhanced to optimize sound conductivity. In addition, a special chestpiece key is included for easy care and maintenance. Lifetime Limited Warranty.
The original Rappaport Sprague stethoscope was arguably the best acoustic stethoscope ever produced, equaling or surpassing today's top of the line models . Most copies are just plain junk, but this version is VERY close to the original. Some criticize the Rappaport Sprague, claiming noise artifact from the two tubes rubbing. This really isn't a problem unless you are actually walking while using the scope. It's not only a great scope, it's an iconic piece of medical history.
Cheep material chest piece,(it could be brass instead), tubes short and sensitive to touch, diaphraghm useless unless you change to a flat one. The bell suprisingly produces crisp and clear sound at heart and even lung sounds and I tried all theree on different patirenst. It would be zero stars but the bell makes for five so we come to three stars overall.
*Offer excludes Littmann, Welch Allyn & International Orders. Cannot be combined with any other coupon offer.

40 years ago, the Vicious Cycles motorcycle club assaulted a construction worker before taking to the road. Fortunately, filmmakers Chuck Menville (father of voice artist Scott Menville) and Len Janson were on hand to film the gang's misdeeds. Menville and Janson's picture would ultimately become part of a trilogy, with Blaze Glory and Sargent Swell of the Mounties produced wit similar eye-catching style. Decades later, the filmmakers' work would be echoed in another tale of conflict, in addition to a product-themed homage to more recent hipster subculture.

Jackass c. 1912

Viral Marketing Suggestions. At one time, when YouTube was new, ordinary people filled it with interesting content. But only 3 years later, after television content producers have forced them to remove millions of copyrighted video clips, we are starting to see an even more insidious phenomenon: the posting of "phony" videos on YouTube, for marketing purposes. NBC has just been caught posting a bogus parody of their show "Heroes". Not to mention Agency.com's pathetic attempt to get an ad contract with Subway, lonelygirl15, and many more that have yet to be discovered. Best of all, you can now find how-to instructions on marketing websites showing how to use YouTube for viral marketing. People are starting to notice....yet it is becoming more and more commonplace. (And I won't even mention how many MySpace and Facebook pages are viral in nature.)

IBM 1401, A User's Manual
"In 1964, a computer - the IBM 1401 Data Processing System - arrived in Iceland, one of the very first computers to be imported into the country… The chief maintenance engineer for this machine was Jóhann Gunnarsson, my father. A keen musician, he learned of an obscure method of making music on this computer - a purpose for which this business machine was not at all designed… When the IBM 1401 was taken out of service in 1971, it wasn't simply thrown away like an old refrigerator, but was given a little farewell ceremony, almost a funeral, when its melodies were played for one last time. This "performance" was documented on tape along with recordings of the sound of the machine in operation." The whole story with samples, pictures and video at Jóhann Jóhannsson's site. [via]

Adjust documentation to comply with latest Apache copyright/license requirements -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: DERBY-1565 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1565 Project: Derby Issue Type: Sub-task Components: Documentation Affects Versions: 10.2.0.0 Reporter: David Van Couvering Priority: Blocker Fix For: 10.2.0.0 Part of converting over to the new requirements is to fix the documentation. I am making this a separate subtask as I think this could better be handled by someone more conversant with DITA and the docs build process. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
