Soros Tight-Lipped On Sterling
Investors hoping to pick the brain of the man who broke the Bank of England, George Soros, were deeply disappointed Tuesday evening as the international financier remained tight-lipped on his views on the direction of the pound and oil prices.
Several times throughout a Q&A session at at the Haberdasher's Hall in London, Soros evaded politely — but firmly — questions on the direction of the pound. After all, he is the very same man who in 1992 made a multimillion profit betting against sterling.
Like an aging rock star who was catapulted to fame thanks to a single catchy tune, Soros was asked repeatedly what his thoughts were regarding the direction of the British pound. Soros told his audience — mostly dark-suited investors — he wanted to talk about the battered currency "as little as possible."
Over recent weeks sterling has remained under pressure as investors' concern over a hung parliament in the U.K. grows. Recent opinion polls have given the Conservative Party a lead over Labour but some surveys have indicated that majority would not be enough to set up an independent government.
Eager elite members of the City were also keen to know what Soros thought of oil prices. Analysts have warned that a rise in oil prices could threaten the global economic recovery. Soros has a view, but for the moment he's keeping it to himself. "I know exactly where oil is going but I am not going to disclose it," he told an audience at the Economist's City Lecture.
One topic Soros was very keen to talk about, however, was Greece's spiraling debt and its consequences to the other members of the euro zone.
He said the Mediterranean country's rescue package was too high and that it risked falling into a "debt spiral." The bailout package offered by the euro zone countries to Greece stands at £27 billion at rates of 5% and a potential €15 billion from the International Monetary Fund.
However, he doesn't see Greece leaving the European Union any time soon. He said:
The consequences of Greece leaving would be the disintegration of the euro. That's the argument for generating political will to provide assistance to the debt-laden country.
It is a question of solvency. If you start charging very high rates as the market does in anticipation of solvency then that pushes you into insolvency.
He also put pressure on governments to keep up with the stimulus of still sluggish economies. "Markets are reviving but if you have serious unemployment you still need to stimulate the economy for a year or two. If you stop the support too soon, then you slip back into a recession," he said.
Asked about his views on U.S. president Barack Obama, Soros, who was a keen earlier supporter, said he was a "little disappointed" but he said he understood the leader faces problems "bigger than any other human being."
"I am understanding of the shortcomings," said Soros, who apologized many times for his hearing, which was "a little bit deficient."

IT'S ALWAYS AN EXCITING and interesting time when the Top 100 entries start rolling in. It's great to see the new stores, the remodeled stores and the creative ways dealers approach their business.
There's been a big change in the way Top 100 dealers do business. Services that used to be rarities — like loaner bikes, priority service, pickup and delivery, drive-in service, enclosed service bays, courtesy food and beverages, dinner rides, charity rides and more — are now the norm. Nearly every dealer that gets to the Top 100 provides these or similar kinds of customer services.
Over the years I've visited lots of motorcycle dealers, big ones, small ones and those in between, and selling just about every brand. But Top 100 dealers are special, because they point out, almost without exception, that the reason for their success is their staff. Virtually every entry this past year commented that were it not for its team, and certain invididuals on its staff, the dealership would not have been as successful as it has been.
Top 100 dealers make sure that their staffs are well trained and motivated. Obviously these people receive OEM-provided training, but they also are exposed to a surprising amount of third-party training funded totally by the dealer. There's also an amazing amount of internal cross-training, along with mentoring so that not only can one employee cover for another, he or she can benefit from the longer-tenured employee's experience and knowledge.
Many dealers consider their employees commodities — pretty much replaceable and subject to increases and decreases as sales ebb and flow. Not so for Top 100 dealers. Their employees are key players. They come up with ideas to move product, promote, merchandise and help make the dealership successful. They're team players; they understand that the success of the organization depends on everyone supporting one another. If a Top 100 dealer has an off-season, it will shift an employee's attention to other projects, like service work, storage projects, rebuilds, and other essential jobs that have been postponed.
Top 100 dealers make it easy for competent personnel to stick with their dealership; 401K programs, competitive pay, profit-sharing programs, health and life insurance, and incentive plans are common benefits.
Top 100 dealers also make their customers feel valuable. Bell-ringing and applause when customers finally take ownership of their vehicle may sound a little corny, but Top 100 dealers keep in mind that a vehicle is a significant purchase for most folks. It's nice to know that your dealership cares enough to grant you some recognition.
Top 100 Dealers also know how to have fun. Is your annual poker run getting a little long in the tooth? Try a "Bug Run." Each participant is given a round, bulls-eye target that's attached to the front of his or her motorcycle. The route's laid out, completed, and then the bug splotches are tallied up. The winner is the rider with the most bug splotches in the bulls-eye! (Hey, it sounds like fun to me, and it gives the dealer the opportunity to sell some cleaning products at the end of the day.)
Top 100 dealers have some pretty good ideas about promotion, too. The one I liked best this past year offered free tires for as long as you own the vehicle. Another dealer equips all the ATVs he sells with a Battery Tender. Still another dealer promotes a monthly cruise-in with bikes and hot rods — a great way to attract some new customers.
As the market tightens up, it might not be a bad idea to look at what the Top 100 dealers are doing, and shore up an area in your store that isn't doing so well. Go back and re-read the profiles in this issue of Dealernews. You might get some ideas.

More than 10 months have passed since I was injured on the job. I had been waiting several months for approvals on two authorization requests sent to ICS, one for a surgical procedure needed to repair a rotator cuff tear, the other for an MRI. The carrier decided to simply ignore my surgeon and did not reply to his multiple requests. I decided last week to involve the Senator's office in hopes of getting some resolution to this frustrating problem. Meriam called ICS twice, left two messages that were not returned but apparently were received. Five working days after my initial contact with Meriam, my surgeon informed me the carrier had approved both requests. Simply a coincidence? I think not.
Thanks again Meriam, the Senator and her constituents are lucky to have you.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - Jacob Perales had two hits, including his second home run of the season, but hot Indiana hitting and bullpen work led to a 14-3 Hoosier victory over the Texas A&M - Corpus Christi baseball team on Friday night at the Kleberg Bank College Classic. The Islanders (5-1) fell for the first time this season in the game.
The Islanders rallied to within 4-3 in the bottom of the third, but a double play took the wind out of their sails, and from then on the Hoosiers outhit the home squad 14-2. Ty Downing and Justin Cureton each had two hits for IU (2-2).
"Obviously, it's not what you want to put a dud out there, but it's a 56-game schedule and we're going to be a good team," head coach Scott Malone said. "I loved the way we hit early with guys on base, but we couldn't get the big hit to get back to even. I felt like if we got back to even we'd be alright, but we just couldn't get there."
Indiana got on the board first with four unearned runs in the opening frame. With runners at the corners and two down, Dustin DeMuth hit a high chopper for an infield single to plate the first run, then Dan Sciantarelli misplayed a ball that resulted in two more runs for the visitors. The Hoosiers picked up run number four on a wild pitch.
The Islanders responded with two runs in the second. Jumpy Garcia led off with a walk and Perales was hit by a pitch. After a Sean Washington bunt single and a strikeout, Drew Vest earned a bases-loaded walk for the first run for the home squad. Logan Nottebrok followed with an RBI fielder's choice to trim the deficit to 4-2 with two innings in the books.
The third started off with plenty of promise, as Perales ripped a leadoff solo homer that curled around the pole to make it 4-3. The Islanders then loaded the bags with a Matt Holland single and two walks, but a strikeout and double play thwarted the momentum with the Islanders still down a run.
The Hoosiers capitalized, scoring a pair in the top of the fourth, as a walk and a single put runners at the corners. A Michael Basil sac fly gave the visitors a 5-3 lead and Alex Dickerson added an RBI single to push it to 6-3.
Both bullpens put up zeroes over the next several innings, but the Hoosier bats finally got going in the seventh. Indiana plated four runs on four hits in the seventh, then added a pair more on a Ty Downing homer to make it 12-3. Indiana scored two more in the ninth to result in the final score.
Meanwhile, the Hoosier bullpen continued to silence the Islanders bats, at one point setting down 12 in a row. Indiana has now tossed 19 1/3 consecutive scoreless innings out of the pen.
The Islanders return to action on Saturday for the second day of the Kleberg Bank College Classic. Texas A&M - Corpus Christi will take on two-time national champion Oregon State at 6 p.m. on Saturday at Whataburger Field, while Indiana takes on UConn at 2 p.m.

They each do everything on the volleyball court at the highest possible level they can reach, all while being the all-important squad leader on the floor.
Thankfully for the Scott City Lady Rams, the two seniors have been together, on the same team, ever since the sixth grade.
They've played on the same club teams, they've experienced tough and unexpected losses, they've hoisted a state championship together, and now, because of their exceptional play during the 2011 volleyball season, they are sharing the 2011 Standard Democrat Co-Volleyball Players of the Year award.
"I feel very blessed to have been able to coach both of them," Scott City volleyball coach Erin Hoffman said. "I've been in the area for a long time and I knew of them. It was very exciting to be able to coach them, even if it was for just one year.
"I know they are both going to have very successful volleyball careers ahead of them."
For both Simpson and Hogan, volleyball has been a huge chunk of their high school days. For the last two years, especially this season as seniors, Simpson and Hogan have been two of the best at their craft this side of the state.
Although the Rams have a number of different options to choose from on the floor, Hogan and Simpson were the driving force behind their dominant, undefeated regular season this year.
"I had a blast this season," Simpson said. "It was the most fun I've ever had with the team. We all got along the whole season which was great and going undefeated was crazy. It was one of those things that nobody really talked about but we all knew what was happening."
Although they are each a force on their own, the way Simpson and Hogan fed off each other and utilized each others' strengths, made it nearly impossible for opposing teams to defend them both.
They each have the ability to spike the ball through, around or off a defense with thunderous power as well as dip, dive and leap for any ball on defense.
"We knew that if one of us got down, we could pick each other up," Simpson said about them playing together. "I fed off Katie all the time. We rely on each other."
It's their numerous games of volleyball they've played together over the course of their lives that have them each in such tune with each other. They each know where they are at on the floor and know what each is capable of doing.
"We can anticipate where someone is going to hit so we know where we need to be," Hogan said about working with Simpson. "We compliment each other."
Together, they totaled 547 kills and 132 blocks solidifying their dominance around the net.
If Simpson was asked what she thinks her strengths on the court are, it wouldn't be her ultimate swinging power or her blocking prowess. It would be an element not so seldom praised by the casual fan.
"I really think that defense has become one of my top skills," she said. "I've worked really hard on it and I've come to enjoy it more than any part of the game. I also feel I can adjust well. I've learned to read the floor a lot better."
Although she has more of a front row persona about her, the 5-7 senior seems to be able to do any and everything when it comes to roles on the court.
Her court-vision and ability to read plays has her a step ahead in most situations. Couple that with a pure love for the game she's playing, and it makes for an exciting display to watch.
"She absolutely loves the game," Hoffman said about Simpson. "She was very coachable and wouldn't leave the gym until she got it right. She has an excellent work ethic. She wanted to always be first. It's not that she wanted to do that in a greedy way, she wanted to do that in a role model way."
Simpson finished the season with 218 kills, 53 total blocks and led the team with 60 aces. She also led the Lady Rams with 218 digs and 299 serve receives with just nine errors.
"She's an awesome player," Hogan said about Simpson. "She never quits. If she can't get something right, instead of leaving practice and trying the next day, she'll stay after until she gets it right."
To some, Hogan is simply good at what she does because she towers above the competition in her 6-2 frame.
Hogan is anything but 'just the tall girl.'
"I hope they don't have that perception of me because when most people see someone tall they think they are uncoordinated, slow or no good," Hogan said about that stigma. "I love to prove people wrong."
Like Simpson, Hogan does it all. She rules the net by her own authority while emulating a brick wall when defending it. She defends the back row like a libero would with cat-like speed and reflexes, which are unusual for a taller player.
"A lot of the time, teams will hit it to me in the back row because they think I'm too tall to move around or can't pass compared to the libero," Hogan said.
And although most fans see Hogan swing as hard as she can while trying for a kill, there's more to it.
"A lot of times, whenever I go up to swing I go up to place it," Hogan said. "I don't just try and hit it as hard as I can. I'll swing for a deep corner or a really hard angle. It mixes up the defense and keeps them on their toes. Whenever that really hard hit comes, they're waiting for a tip or something like that."
Both Hoffman and Simpson agreed that Hogan's best trait is that she isn't afraid to face anyone. Which makes her physical presence that much more intimidating.
"She's very aggressive and doesn't back down to anyone," Hoffman said. "I think that's a big deal as far as her intimidation factor if their happened to be another player on the other side of the net, she still wouldn't back away. She'd just go after it."
"I'm intimidated by her and I've been her teammate for six years," Simpson joked. "She goes to kill every time."
Although they have experienced everything from devastating losses to being on top of the Class 2 volleyball mountain, Simpson and Hogan wouldn't trade their days with the Lady Rams for anything.
Sure, they wished their senior season wouldn't have ended prematurely in the sectional round, especially since they were favored to make another run at a state title.
"I wish it would have ended different," said Simpson. "But, it was fun while it lasted. I wouldn't have traded it for anything. Getting to play varsity all four years through high school was great."
"I know that we worked really hard," Hogan said about their senior season. "We'd come in early for practice and work our butts off. We didn't get the result we wanted to, but we know that we gave it our all and we bonding together as a team."
Since they have been through most every emotion and experience when it comes to playing high school volleyball, they were able to use those occurrences to be team leaders.
They also learned from the senior-heavy group before them that included Simpson's older sister, Brooke.
"During my sophomore year, we didn't really have to lead on the floor because all the seniors were leaders," Simpson said. "But, we knew after that year we had to step up and learn how to lead."
"They were really good for keeping the whole team going and focused," Hoffman said. "They showed great leadership and we relied on them a lot."
Hoffman, who ended her first year with the Lady Rams with a 30-1-1 record, knew just what type of team she was inheriting. Most importantly, she knew what kind of players she would be working with.
"Coming in here, I knew they had a lot of talent," Hoffman said. "The girls really took to me well. They worked hard and, sometimes, when a new coach comes in to try and teach them new things, some girls don't like that. But, they took to me well and they listened.
"Mikah and Katie were a big part of that, but all of my seniors took it in stride."
Both are still weighing their options when it comes to college. They are continuing their search for what school fits them best, but they both plan to play volleyball where ever they decide to land.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- It's the day after the World Cup. The celebration is slowly settling in Brazil.
Here at home? The celebration of soccer has local players hooked, especially in the Georgia/South Carolina Bulls club team.
"People have maybe thought that maybe someday I want to be in that (World Cup) and try soccer," 10-year-old Reagan said.
"I think I've only been playing a few days. People have been cheering for the USA and that's my favorite team," 7-year-old Karim said.
Hey, kids don't lie and neither do record TV ratings in the US. There's a lot to like about the World Cup. Kids like the players. They like the teams. And their fandom doesn't rest just with the US.
"I'm sad that the Netherlands is out because that was my team after USA. Now, I'm going for Argentina," Reagan said.
Well, Reagan didn't get her wish. Even Lionel Messi couldn't save the Argentinians from Germany in a 1-0 World Cup finals loss.
However, this World Cup may be saved in the memory of young players.
The Georgia/South Carolina Bulls club team has seen a 30 to 40 percent increase since the world tournament began.
"You have two clubs in the area that are both very successful. Our high school teams do real well. Soccer is a big sport in our area and I think it's only going to continue to grow," Georgia/South Carolina Bulls coach Andrew Hammer said.
What would lead to more growth is more goals from our icons. Hammer thinks a US superstar making it on the world stage would change the game.
"We have to have some heroes and some superstars in the US that these kids can relate to," Hammer said.
Every four years, soccer grows to a high level in the states. How long will it stay? That depends on teams like the Bulls growing even more.
"In foreign countries, it's soccer. They're born with a soccer ball at their feet, they play in the school yards, they play in the parks, they play in the streets, that's their game. Here it's not," Hammer said.

I have this version of it... it's the "Space Oddity" release with the picture of David up-close with scraggly hair and the green sequin bodysuit on the back, standard jacket, withthe hot pink sleeve inside, but in the lower left-hand corner on the back cover it has a special stamp in gold. It says "demonstration only NOT FOR SALE" around this big gold disc. I don't think the disc had a picture on it. Can anyone tell me about this special promo cut? How many more are out there?*THIS MESSAGE BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF CONDESCENDING FRATERNALISM*
Sounds interesting, i'll have to check my referance books when i get back to Brisbane to morrow night.As to the promo stamp? Sometimes dealers do that themselves to increase the value, as my old boss used to with many items. This way customers would think they were getting a RARE issue, when thay were only getting a standard issue.I'd suspect it may be rare, though i'd need a catologue number to find out more.It's damn hard when you dont have any research material with you :(Keep on swingingwww.darkentries.net

I Used this item to bend some 22 gauge sheet metal to make a new liner and battery box for the car. It works perfect. I had no trouble with it and it seems more than substantial enough to do the job. On the bonus side I got 5 of them instead of the 1 I ordered. I called HF and told the girl that answered but she said that it would cost more to send a return label than the items are worth, so keep them. That is fine I guess.

I really didn't expect much for the price, but it worked great. I used it to bend sheet metal for drawer dividers in my tool box. It was easy to use and gave me a clean even bend.

It's exactly the same tool as they sell in the HVAC supply houses for $20+. It's hard to mess up a big piece of steel with slots in the sides I guess... I bent with it and the welds didn't break so it looks like this one is a winner!

A cousin told me the story of how her family's silverware, jewelry and precious keepsakes were saved from the Union soldiers by their servant, Adam.
Word was sent by a neighbor's young houseboy, who sneaked through the woods to their home to warn them that the Union soldiers were foraging, and so they had a little time to hide things.
All the keepsakes that they felt the Union soldiers might take were hastily dumped into a large, dark-colored bag that had a draw cord in the top and a rope tied to the draw cord. Uncle Adam suspended it down into the well by the long rope and concealed the rope tied around the support for the windlass as best he could.
The Union soldiers arrived and took the chickens, and some other things, but when they went through the house, they couldn't seem to find anything of value.
When the soldiers stopped at the well to draw up a bucket of cold water, the hearts of the watching family were in their throats, but by good fortune they didn't notice the rope suspended into the well, or else thought it was merely something put down in the well to be kept cold, as was the custom, and so the family treasures were saved.

Back in 1955 a call went out from the editors of the then CAPPER's Weekly asking for readers to send in articles on true pioneers. Hundreds of letters came pouring in from early settlers and their children, many now in their 80s and 90s, and from grandchildren of settlers, all with tales to tell. So many articles were received that a decision was made to create a book, and in 1956, the first My Folks title – My Folks Came in a Covered Wagon – hit the shelves. Nine other books have since been published in the My Folks series, all filled to the brim with true tales from CAPPER's readers, and we are proud to make those stories available to our growing online community.

During the month of June, the Raise the Woof campaign is hosting a Paw Print Fundraiser in honor of Adopt-A-Shelter Cat month.
"We are asking local businesses to sell our preprinted Paw Prints for $1 and in return give their customer a Raise the Woof brochure," said Claibourne Jordan, Shelter Campaign Director of the Humane Society of Jackson County.
"This is much more than a fundraiser – it will help to build awareness about the animal shelter project," said Jordan.
The business that sells the most Paw Prints or makes the biggest donation will be awarded a prize. Also, businesses will be promoted through HSJC's facebook page (www.facebook.com/HSJacksonCounty). With more than 805 "likes" on its page, a business should benefit from participating in this fundraiser.
If your business or place of employment would like to participate, contact Jordan at 706-424-4607. Visit www.raisethewoof.weebly.com or www.hsjc.com

U.S. Cartoons Came from Communist Czechoslovakia
Astronaut Andrew Feustel
In the 1960s Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Paramount Pictures and other U.S. studios produced "Tom & Jerry" and "Popeye the Sailor Man" cartoons behind the Iron Curtain — at the animation movie studio Bratri v Triku in Prague. Smelling greenbacks, Czechoslovak communists put ideology aside to bring in hard-currency revenue.
The U.S. studios were building on skills the Czechoslovak animation industry had developed already in the 1950s when a Czech animator created the hugely popular Little Mole, whose plush toy replica will soon travel on Space Shuttle Endeavour. Gene Deitch, Oscar-winning American filmmaker, used those skills to produce household-name U.S. cartoons in then-Communist Czechoslovakia.
"We could do a cartoon film (in Czechoslovakia) for about $1,000 or $1,200 a minute then, or about 10% of U.S. costs in those days," Mr. Deitch told New Europe last week in his Prague apartment, nestled in a building on the foothill of the sloping Petrin park. Mr. Deitch documented his life in Czechoslovakia in a book of memoir "For the Love of Prague."
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Paramount were among the first big clients of Mr. Deitch and his U.S.-based partners William Snyder of Rembrandt Films and Morton Schindel of Weston Wood Studios.
Demand for Mr. Deitch's services took off in 1961 after he won an Academy Award for Animated Short Film for his cartoon Munro, a story about a little boy accidentally drafted into the U.S. Army.
Zdenka Deitchova, Mr. Deitch's Czech wife who he says was responsible for his move to Prague, worked as a producer on all Little Mole films and in 1960 also helped produce Mr. Deitch's Oscar-winning film.
In the 1960s, Czechoslovak Filmexport, a state-run monopoly exporting films and movie-making skills from the Soviet bloc country, was the main business partner for producers like Mr. Deitch. By the 1970s west European film producers followed in the footsteps of Messrs. Deitch, Snyder and Schindel to produce entire live action television series in Czechoslovakia. Some of them featured Czechoslovak movie stars, like Dagmar Havlova-Veskrnova, the wife of playwright-turned-president Vaclav Havel.
As Czechoslovak Filmexport continued to make deals for outsourced film production with Mr. Deitch, it also struck a deal with Westdeutscher Rundfunk, or WDR, a west-German television broadcaster based in Cologne, for the production of dozens of Little Mole five-minute films.
The WDR deal on Little Mole films proved so lucrative that it lasted until 2002, surviving the collapse of the communist Czechoslovak regime 1989 and Czechoslovak Filmexport in 1991.
"In the 1960s and 1970s foreign production contracts like those with Mr. Deitch generated between $80,000 and $100,000 a year," said Jitka Markvartova, a long-time sales director at Czechoslovak Filmexport.
In today's dollars the sum equaled nearly $700,000, according to calculations by Vladimir Kudlik at the Czech central bank.
MGM had Mr. Deitch shoot thirteen Tom & Jerry episodes in Prague and Paramount ordered more than twenty Popeyes. But MGM was afraid to reveal the provenance of its Czechoslovak Tom & Jerries and masked it by Americanizing the names of the Czechs working on them, Mr. Deitch said.
Zdenka Deitchova, whose maiden surname was Najmanova—itself the Czech version of the German name Neumann—was renamed for credits as Z. Newman. Czech film music composer Vaclav Lidl was credited as Victor Little.
Paramount managers appreciated what Prague's Bratri v Triku and their U.S. expatriate cartoon director could do for them, and so cheaply. Their orders swelled, forcing Mr. Deitch to open another animation operation in the then-Communist Yugoslavia to keep up.
"We got so busy with Popeye, so I also had to make the cartoons in Zagreb," Mr. Deitch said.
About 22 Popeye films were shot in Prague and 22 more in today's Croatia by Zagreb Film, he said.
Mr. Deitch said that in the 1960s one Popeye episode cost about $20,000, compared with about $40,000 in the U.S.
Mr. Deitch, now 86 years old, and his 82-year-old wife Zdenka continue working on new cartoon productions for foreign clients. Last year, the couple worked on a cartoon musical series for children for a Japanese producer.
"We may be living icons of animation in Prague, but what people don't get is that we still need work just so that we can do something," Mr. Deitch said with his wife nodding approvingly.
Mr. Deitch, his wife and scores of other Czech animators are all in some way linked to the Krtek's real space shuttle flight. Same applies to astronauts with Czech roots John Blaha, Jim Lovell, Eugene Cernan and Vladimir Remek mentioned by NASA specialist Andrew Feustel in his message to the Czech people. Mr. Feustel is taking Krtek's hand-puppet replica with him into space in April.

Privé Products Offers New Service to Help Existing Salons Build Web Presence
The creators of Privé Formule Aux Herbes and Privé Concept Vert haircare line have created a new program that offers partnering salons the chance to increase their web presence. This new Privé Preferred Custom Salon Websites program will provide several different packages to help salons promote their brand on the web and establish an e-commerce component to further increase the salon's business as well as Privé Products reach to potential customers.
"Consumers are increasingly turning to the web to help make their product choices and to purchase products," says Privé Products CEO Jackie Applebaum. "From personal experience and that of thousands of other companies, an online presence not only helps virtually promote the brand it also allows consumers the convenience of having the products delivered to their doors. That is very important across all industries right now."
"A website for consumers to learn about the company from its founders is an integral part of branding," adds Privé Products founder Laurent Dufourg. "It provides a platform for them to connect with their customers."
The website built will have all the necessary components that make up a successful platform including salon logo, image, about us, contact us, stylist info and salon menu pages. Existing partner salons that carry Privé Products and want to expand their consumer base to online consumers can benefit from the second service that Privé Products offers, a Privé Products secure online e-commerce system. This section would allow salons to set up their own pricing and shipping methods, track inventory and provide clients with confirmation emails.
Privé Products web services are available for $750-$1000 as a onetime set-up fee with an additional $100 monthly fee.
The Privé Preferred Custom Salon Websites program launches on November 28, 2011. For more information visit www.priveproducts.com.

1961 Lotus 20 news, pictures, specifications, and information
Chassis Num:
This car's rear suspension uses the 'Half Shaft' to complete the upper wishbone. It was purchased new from the Lotus factory by Lionel Garza of Monterey Mexico. It was raced in Mexico during the Formula Junior era, 1959-1963. In 1983 the car was imported into the USA by Alex Bollinger and driven in vintage racing events by his wife Barbara until 1988. Between 1988 and 2004 the car was in storage. In 2004 the car was given a minor restoration and resumed competition in vintage racing events.
This 1961 Lotus 20/22 Formula Junior Monoposto spent the earlier part of its life in New Zealand before coming to the United States in 1990. It has been used in historic races from coast to coast while in the US.
While in New Zealand, it was raced by Jim Palmer who was one of the more successful and famous drivers in New Zealand. During that time, his Lotus 20B was powered by a 1,500cc engine to comply with Formula One regulations.
When it was brought to the US, it still retained the 1500cc engine. By this point, it was a well-used machine that was in need of restoration. It was purchased by a New York resident in the spring of 1990. While in their care it was restored to the correct Lotus 20/22 specifications. The following decade the car was well used in historic Formula Junior competition with its most recent outing in 2007.
It is fitted with a 1100cc engine and a Hewland MK6 gearbox. There is a Tilton clutch and pressure plate. The rear suspension is comprised of a Lotus 20 reversed A-arms with trailing arms, coil over shocks, load bearing driveshafts, and sway bar. The rear brakes are inboard with the front being the correct Lotus 22 discs. Smiths gauges can be found in the cockpit and their is a fire suppression system.
In 2007 it was brought to Carmel, California where it was offered for sale at Bonhams auction,
An Important Sale of Collectors' Motorcars and Automobilia
, and estimated to sell for $40,000 - 50,000. The lot failed to find an interested buyer willing to satisfy the car's reserve. It left the auction unsold.

In 1959, Formula Junior was adopted as an International Formula and would retain that title until its demise in 1964. The most successful and dominate force in the series was Lotus, winning the British National Championship from 1960 through 1963.
The Lotus 20 was first shown at the Racing Car Show in 1961. It quickly became a dominate car and with the help of the factory drivers was the most successful car of the season. It was an evolution of the Lotus 18 but with smoother lines and a minuscule frontal area to aide in aerodynamics. It had a lightweight space-frame chassis, a fiberglass body by Williams & Pritchard, and a suspension courtesy of the Lotus 18. Power was from a Ford inline four and mated to either a Renault or a Hewland modified VW gearbox.
In total, 118 examples were created of the Lotus Model 20 FJ in the one-year production run.
The Lotus 20 was successful in many countries, including the United States. Sy Kabach of Millertown, New York, ordered two Model 20s in 1961 and used them in local Sports Car Club of America contests. This example, with chassis number 20-J-935, is one of those two cars. It retains its original registration number of 24-126 and was used in many East Coast events. The other car was chassis number 934, which is still in existence in modern times.
The current owner took possession of this car over two decades ago and has continued its racing history in various vintage events. It has been raced at the Monterey Historics, and many other well-known venues throughout the Formula Junior circuit. It was given a no-expense-spared restoration by John Collins and still shows well to this day.
This car has the Hewland transmission and a 1100cc Cosworth four-cylinder engine rated at 105 horsepower. There are four-wheel disc brakes from the 1962 Model 22 and weighs a mere 880 lbs. It has been updated with modern safety equipment including a fuel cell, five-point harness and a fire system.
In 2007 this car was offered for sale at the Gooding & Company auction held in Pebble Beach, CA where it was estimated to sell for $50,000 - $75,000 and offered without reserve. Those estimates proved accurate as the lot was sold for $60,500 including buyer's premium.

This 1961 Lotus is a 20/22 Formula Junior car with chassis number 25.
By Daniel Vaughan | Feb 2009
In an effort to avoid unnecessary taxes, Lotus often exported many of their vehicles without VIN numbers. This 1961 Lotus 20/22 Formula Junior racer is one such example and was sent to New Zealand where it was raced in the 1970 Gold Star Series by Graeham Lawrence. It was later purchased by a private owner who raced the car until 1990 when it made its way to the United States. It has continued its length racing career participating in many events through the United States.
It was offered for sale at the 2006 Russo & Steele Auction held in Monterey, Ca where the vehicle found its next owner for the price of $55,000.
By Daniel Vaughan | Aug 2009
The Lotus Formula Junior 20 was first shown at the Racing Car Show in January of 1961. It shared some similarities to the prior units, such as the suspension bearing many similarities to the Lotus 18. The body was small and aerodynamic and mounted on a space-frame chassis. The fiber-glass body was courtesy of Williams & Pritchard. Mounted mid-ship was a Cosworth developed Ford 105E 998cc engine.
For the 1961 season Trevor Taylor and Peter Arundell drove works cars. Alan Rees and Mike McKee raced Lotus 20 with factory support. Taylor was able to win eight races while Arundell accounted for seven victories.
In total, 118 examples of the Lotus 20 were produced.
The Lotus 21 was the first works Lotus to win a Formula One Grand Prix. The victory came in 1961 at the United States Grand Prix driven by Innes Ireland. The Lotus 21 utilized a mid-engined design and was comprised of a tubular space-frame with fiberglass panels. Power was from a Coventry Climax FPF four-cylinder engine similar to that of the Lotus 20. Disc brakes could be found at all four corners.
The Lotus 21 was raced by Team Lotus and by the Rob Walker Racing Team during the 1961 season.
Lotus 22
was introduced for the 1962 seasons and was based on the Lotus Formula Junior 20 but brought with it many new changes. It was powered by a Ford-Cosworth 1098cc engine which produced about 100 horsepower. The engine was mated to a four-speed gearbox. The gearbox units were came from both Volkswagen and Renault. The suspension from the Lotus 21 was used in the rear. The Lotus 22 had a wider track than the Lotus 21. The 13-inch wheels were made of magnesium-alloy and disc brakes could be found in both the front and rear.
Team Lotus entered the Formula Junior 22 driven by Peter Arundell in 25 races and was rewarded with podium finishes 18 times. Peter Arundell was the team's primary driver with Alan Rees and Bob Anderson serving as his replacement.
The Lotus 22 was surrounded by controversy during the 1962 season. Canadian Pete Ryan was involved in a collision with Bill Moss at Reims. Reporters interviewed Ryan at the hospital; he mentioned, though heavily medicated, that Formula Junior cars were being operated with engine capacities higher than the allowable limit. Reporters assumed that he was speaking about Peter Arundell and stories and allegations quickly erupted. Part of the stories that appeared made alleged claims that the Lotus 22s were running with 1450cc engines (rules specified 1100cc units). In true sporting fashion, Colin Chapman responded to the claims with a challenge. He stated that, under supervision, he would 'repeat their race-winning speeds at any European circuit'. The results were to be closely monitored and supervised. Chapman stated that if the vehicles were to match their winning speeds, von Frankenberg, a former racer and editor, would have to make a public apology. von Frankenberg had made many of the allegations so the challenge seemed appropriate.
von Frankenberg accepted and the Monza circuit was selected. Arundell had won the 107-mile Grand Prix at 113.4 mph with a fast lap of 115.9. On the day of the challenge, Arundell drove the racer to a speed of 117.1 mph. At the conclusion of the challenge, the engine was disassembled and thoroughly inspected. The engine had met all the requirements and the vehicles weight was within acceptable limits. Chapman had made his point and von Frankenberg made his apology.

John Barnard's Finest: Some of the Greatest of Barnard's Design
The latter-part of Barnard's Formula One career would be filled with disappointments and disputes. However, there was no disputing the genius of the man from London. In fact, a couple of innovations that are mainstays in Formula One design were first introduced by this man who had been involved in motor racing in some form or manner since the 1960s. John Barnard would be born in London on the 4th of May in 1946. The war was over and a whole new world loomed on the horizon. It was t...

Spain's Proposed 'Google Tax' Leaves News Aggregators Guessing
MADRID—A Spanish plan to impose a so-called Google Tax on Internet news aggregators has created a local storm of criticism against what many see as a web-illiterate government.
Critics of the plan say the new bill, which according to reports seeks to raise some €80 million in annual tax revenue for the cash-strapped local media industry, is self-defeating. Similar initiatives have met mixed success or been withdrawn over the last few years in Germany, France and Belgium. In Germany, for instance, Google threatened media organizations with removal from Google News if they didn't renounce the right to collect the tax—which the German companies did.
Spain's plan seeks to force aggregators to pay compensation to media organizations in exchange for the right to post summaries of their news stories.
It doesn't target Google alone; and that's what worries many. The way the bill is currently written leaves a wide interpretation of who is considered a news aggregator and thus liable to be taxed.
"This is clearly intended to have Google and other big aggregators pay, but it's a very wide-ranging bill that may force people to pay for posting links to news in their Facebook and Twitter accounts too," says Daniel Marcos, an expert with Endas, an Internet consultancy based in southern Spain.
Spain's Culture ministry, which crafted the bill, disagrees.
Raquel Martín, a spokeswoman for the ministry, notes that the bill is targeting what the government sees as old-fashioned "news-clipping" services that have migrated to the Internet, not only in the shape of Google News, but also popular Spanish-language aggregators.
A Google spokeswoman declined to comment, citing uncertainty about the content and impact of the law before it is finalized.
Private Internet users who share links on social media, and those who are not in the business of making money off posting other people's content won't be targeted, Ms. Martín says.
Moreover, the Culture ministry has released an official statement specifically saying that social media users will not be forced to pay the tax, no matter how extensive their cut-and-paste activities are.
The final version of the bill is not expected to pass before September, as an amendment to an existing law. Additional regulations on how to collect the tax may take longer, Ms. Martín says.
Experts will be looking for the exact language to be used regarding the profit motive for aggregating news. For example, it is unclear whether bloggers who make some money off advertising or contributions would be liable to pay the tax. Some bloggers have expressed concern.
It's also unclear which metrics will be used to decide how much tax must be paid. Page-views and clicks on links are both possible, the Culture ministry says, but the final system will be arrived at through negotiations between media organizations and the news aggregators.
Spain's media will be represented at the negotiations by the big newspaper lobby AEDE, which includes the owners of all the largest papers in the country, and is widely seen as the main force behind the bill.
Sam Schechner contributed to this report.
