Jewish Human Rights Watch Suing 3 Councils in High Court over BDSWednesday, May 4th, 2016
Jewish Human Rights Watch (JHRW) has taken Swansea, Gwyneedd and Leicester councils to the High Court in London, alleging their boycott of Israeli goods is anti-Semitic and violates the 2010 Equality Act.
The group noted on their Facebook page: "We're in the #HighCourt today and tomorrow about The Labour Party's Leicester City Council & City and County of Swansea & Gwynedd Council's #Antisemitic #Boycott motions. We'll keep you updated as soon as we hear anything."
Several local councils across the UK voted to boycott Israeli goods after 2009, when Israel refused to embrace the Hamas' need to shoot rockets at its civilian population.
In 2010, Swansea council was seeking contracts with Veolia, a company connected to a project building a light railway in eastern Jerusalem. But then a motion was put before the council stating the project "not only contravenes UN demands but is in contravention of international law," since the UN "has demanded that Israeli settlement activities and occupation should not be supported."
Several council members called on the council to not do business with "any company in breach of international law or UN obligations or demands, so long as to do so would not be in breach of any relevant legislation." The motion was approved.
Andrew Sharland, an attorney for Leicester's council, which in 2014 approved a similar boycott of Israeli goods, said the JHRW is trying to "stifle criticisms of Israel."
"What this challenge really concerns is criticism of the State of Israel, and the claimant's desire to suppress it," he said.
Following the 2014 vote, JHRW issued a statement saying, "Leicester City Council has taken steps down an anti-Semitic path under the guise of helping community relations in Leicester. Frankly this amounts to a get-of-out-town order to Leicester Jews."
In 2014, Gwynedd council also passed a motion calling for a trade embargo against Israel, condemning the "attacks by the Israeli state on the territory of the Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip." Just to make sure they did not come across as anti-Semites, Gwynedd council added, "It must be made clear that the proposal condemned the Israeli state and not the Jewish religion."
The British government earlier this year issued guidelines for public authorities which say these boycotts are "inappropriate" without formal legal sanctions or embargoes by the national government. In fact, the Cabinet Office has said these boycotts "undermine good community relations, poison and polarize debate, weaken integration and fuel anti-Semitism."
But Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, whose party has been ridding itself of an industrial-size stash of anti-Semitic members in recent days, criticized the government's warning against BDS as an "attack on local democracy."David Israel

Hit-run drivers merit harsh punishment
This is in response to the letter writer who requested that the "bashing" of Dr. James G. Corasanti be curtailed. I have no doubt that he has helped a great number of people through the years, and as a son of someone who lost his battle with cancer at the young age of 50, I certainly cannot ignore those accomplishments. I also firmly believe in second chances. However, Corasanti allegedly made two bad choices that night. The choice to drink and drive was the first. It never ceases to baffle me when anyone makes this decision, especially someone as wealthy as a doctor (or a pro athlete) who can afford a cab ride home.
The writer suggests that he just do "humanitarian work" in lieu of a jail sentence, which leads to my next point: The second "mistake" he made that night was also a choice, not a mistake. He allegedly chose not to stop to see who he hit with his vehicle and maybe use his medical background to try to right this very tragic wrong. Leaving the scene of an accident is a cowardly, selfish act, and deserves the heaviest punishment allowed by law.
Now it has been reported that he has a past arrest for drinking and driving. I wonder how many more arrests or deaths this man needs to get the message. Shame on anyone who drinks and drives. There is no penalty strong enough for someone who hits another human being and keeps driving, whether he is drunk or sober. Make no "mistake" about it.
Jim Vickers
Shame on people who drink, drive
To the writer who wants to give Dr. James G. Corasanti a break because he saved her life, please! He might have saved another life if he had stopped after allegedly hitting the young woman, instead of driving away. "Humanitarian work?" You have got to be kidding.
If he had a clear head, he might have had a chance to save a life. How unfortunate for a man with so much to give to this community. He gave away his career and reputation. He has been charged with drinking and driving not once, but twice. When will people learn drinking and driving don't mix? Probably never.
Paul J. DiVito
If doctor is guilty, he deserves jail time
I am writing in response to the letter, "Doctor deserves another chance," regarding Dr. James G. Corasanti. Like the writer, I am a cancer survivor with a gastroenterologist. Ninety percent of my stomach was removed in 2001. And I have thanked him every day. However, just because he saved my life does not give him the right to take another. Just because he is a doctor does not give him the right to leave someone dead on the road, as police allege happened in this case. If I or that writer had struck and killed someone, where would we be? In jail.
Cynthia Shelvay
Would writer feel same if her child had died?
This is in response to the woman who is tired of all the "bashing" of Dr. James G. Corasanti. Leaving a young girl for dead while driving under the influence, as he allegedly did, is not a "mistake" -- it's murder. Catching the writer's cancer doesn't make the doctor an angel. He doesn't deserve a second chance, he deserves a jail sentence. He already has a previous arrest for drinking and driving. The writer wouldn't be so high and mighty if it was her daughter who had been killed.
She says he should be allowed to do "humanitarian work" instead of jail. That's the problem, though. People of privilege think that the laws don't apply to them. Corasanti is accused of leaving Alix Rice to her dying breath. Was that humanitarian? Was it humanitarian to wait an hour and a half before turning himself in and to wait five hours to have his blood tested?
I would bet that a good number of people who left that country club drove away intoxicated -- they just didn't get caught.

Collins doesn't care about constituents
The headline of a July 23 News article read: "Collins feels heat as rats get thirsty." Indeed, rats are on the prowl for water since they need eight ounces of it daily. The article definitively illustrates that County Executive Chris Collins favors rats rather than the children and adults of Erie County with his consistent strategy of sandbagging the expenditures of a very small amount of money for rat abatement within a billion-dollar Erie County budget. Is Collins vying for the rat population endorsement and the rat vote this election year?
Art Parks
Residents can't take 4 more years of this
There exists a strange feel to County Executive Chris Collins and his unique management style. He employs a mixture of arrogance and despotism, a resolve that lacks the ability to compromise or even negotiate, and an insistence on the sacredness of his and only his view. To be sure, he routinely promises great things -- more jobs and lower taxes, but these promises never quite materialize. In fact, Collins has once again vigorously sought the New York State Legislature's authorization to continue our "temporary" 1 percent sales tax surcharge, a tax that we have all been paying since 1985.
A clear example of this style is his recent attack on Mark Poloncarz's campaign efforts. Specifically, Collins' campaign manager has stated that by accepting campaign monies from a service union, Poloncarz "cares more about special interests than the taxpayers of Erie County." By this logic, all campaign funding is suspect. And given the fact that Collins has collected 10 times the campaign contributions of Poloncarz, are we not urged to conclude that Collins is 10 times more likely to care more about his special interests groups than the county taxpayers?
This type of dishonest rhetoric is nothing new for those who have observed Collins in action these past four years. We should expect more of the same hypocrisy during his campaign.
So, while most of us are busy with our personal lives, our local political situation requires us to act in order to end the suffering this political bully has inflicted on our region. Four more years of tax breaks for his business pals, high salaries for his handpicked administrators, a contemptuous attitude toward middle-class workers, costly legal litigations and cuts to cultural institutions are too much to ask from us ordinary folks.
Alphonse Kolodziejczak
Refusal to compromise only hurts Americans
A necessary ingredient in a republic such as ours is compromise. We rarely have a "ruling" (majority) party and even if we did, the design of the Senate could derail the ruling party. So compromise is essential.
Since compromise requires concessions from both sides, I don't understand why one side of our debt debate refuses to do anything about raising revenue (taxes). Debt is simply a result of spending too much and/or bringing in too little revenue. So to attack a debt effectively, you have to find ways to cut spending and raise revenue.
Why are the Republicans so adamant about not raising revenue (taxes)? They won't even consider eliminating the $4 billion we give big oil every year. The Obama side of the debate has agreed to make spending cuts, but nowhere from the Boehner side are offers that include increasing revenues.
Is it because they signed a Grover Norquist (president of Americans for Tax Reform) pledge not to raise taxes? Really, what kind of leader would sign a pledge that takes away one of his key tools in managing an economy? In my opinion, the only pledge our leaders should sign is to do what is best for the country, not for one group.
Jerry Cappello
Don't blame Obama for speaking the truth
Suppose you were barbecuing one evening and a firefighter approached you and said that your grill was too close to the house and could ignite your vinyl siding. You choose to ignore the advice of a professional, and half an hour later, your siding bursts into flame. This event is not the fault of the firefighter.
This point is evidently lost on the writer who sought to chide President Obama for "threatening to withhold Social Security checks" and warning him of dire consequences in 2012 if he picks on senior citizens.
The president does not issue Social Security checks, and he cannot choose to withhold them. Neither action is within his constitutional powers. What the president is doing is warning seniors that unless Congress gets its act together, the money won't be in the bank and the checks will not be valid. If that happens, the blame will belong under the rotunda dome, not in the Oval Office.

Grisanti disappoints many who elected him
We have listened to and respected the opinions of the gay community. I, too, am entitled to an opinion and just a couple thoughts. Please respect that. Let us all please remember the short amount of time it took Sen. Mark Grisanti to break one of his important campaign promises. He claims he is now "informed" regarding gay issues. (Apparently the voters did not realize how uninformed on issues Grisanti is when he was voted in). I think he got "informed" real quick, as Sam Hoyt did, after receiving some special considerations from Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Let us also remember that county clerk's offices were opened on a Sunday to accommodate the "mass" wedding held in Niagara Falls. How much did that cost the taxpayers? It's a sad day for Niagara Falls when this is the marketing tool the mayor and city officials think will cause a sudden rebirth of the Falls. I congratulate the gay and lesbian couples who did not grandstand in Niagara Falls and who chose to keep their personal lives dignified.

Politicians' names don't belong on signs
In last Saturday's Off Main Street column, Frank Maddock said that Mayor Byron Brown's name does not belong on the new surveillance camera signs. He's absolutely right, but we should go one step further. Every politician's name should be removed from every sign on public property. I am sick of seeing politicians' names plastered on signs at parks, buildings, etc.
Too expensive to replace the signs? I'll donate the duct tape needed to cover up the names of Brown and all politicians who think they deserve to have their names on taxpayer-funded property.
The article ends by saying that Maddock "suspects ego may have something to do with it." No doubt.

Thank you.
Now please read this:
Mr.Armen, November 1, 2012
You will find the research that I have conducted: I have purchased the information from the Secretary of States Office and have found the corporation numbers you have incorporated under and to find that these have all become suspended.
Date you first incorporated in was August 1, 2000 then suspended for doing business in the State of California on 10/23/2002. The second attempt to do business in California was 10/17/2003 and again suspended for doing business in California on February 1, 2008. The third time you attempted to do business in California was incorporating on January 25, 2008 and again
suspended on January 4, 2010. During these periods you are not authorized to conduct business in California as you will see below.
Corporate Names:
Law Offices of Armen Janian and Associates, A professional law corporation -Corp# CXXXXXXX - suspended (1/4/2010)
Law Offices of Janian and Associates, A professional law corporation - Corp#CXXXXXXX - suspended ( 2/1/2008)
Armen Janian and Associates, A professional law corporation - Corp# CXXXXXXX- suspended (10/23/2002)In California, both the Secretary of States office and the Franchise Tax Board have the authority to suspend a California corporation. The Secretary of States office can suspend a corporation based upon the failure to file and pay the annual Statement of Information. This statement contains the identity of the officers and directors of the corporation, as well as its agent for service of process. The failure to file a Statement of Information on time may result in a $250.00 late fee.
The Franchise Tax Board has the authority to suspend a corporation based upon the failure to pay the minimum tax of $800.00 a year or the failure to pay any taxes that are owed. In addition, a corporation may be suspended for the failure to file tax returns. Tax returns are required on an annual basis even if the corporation is not doing business.
The impact of a corporation being placed in suspended status is substantial. When a corporation is suspended, it has lost all rights and privileges as a corporation and cannot legally operate. In that regard, technically a suspended corporation is required to close its business and stop all business related activity. Moreover, a suspended corporation cannot sue or defend any action in court.
Furthermore, a suspended corporation that provides a service, or goods, to third parties while suspended may not be able to collect payment for such services or goods since the suspended corporation technically was not permitted to engage in any business transactions.
A California corporation can be placed back in good standing after its has been suspended by being revived or reinstated. Until the corporation corrects its suspended status, the corporation is prohibited from transacting business and any contract executed by a suspended corporation is voidable at the demand of the other party. The only exceptions to the loss of corporate privileges upon suspension are that the corporation may (1) change its name by amendment to its Articles of Incorporation and (2) apply to the Franchise Tax Board for tax exempt status.
Once notification is received of the suspension, it is important to move as quickly as possible to have the corporation revived or reinstated. A corporation that was suspended by the Secretary of State because of the failure to file the required annual Statement of Information can be revived by sending a letter to the Secretary of State along with (1) the delinquent Statement of Information and (2) the payment of the overdue fees and/or penalties imposed. Provided that the corporate name is still available, the Secretary of State will send a Notice of Reviver to the corporation and notify the Franchise Tax Board. If the corporations name was taken by another corporation during the suspension period, then the Secretary of State will advise the corporation that it must change its name by amending its Articles of Incorporation before the corporation can be revived. In the event that the corporation was suspended by the Franchise Tax Board, the suspended corporation may have its corporate privileges reinstated only by filing all delinquent tax returns and statements, paying all applicable taxes, penalties, interest and fees, and filing an application for a Certificate of Revivor with the Franchise Tax Board. Before the Franchise Tax Board issues the Certificate of Revivor, the Secretary of State must again approve the corporate name to insure that another corporation did not take the name during the period of suspension.
In summary, the potential adverse consequences that can flow from the suspension of the California corporation dictate that both the required Statement of Information and the payment of the minimum annual franchise tax and tax return be transmitted on a timely basis. While a corporation can be revived or reinstated following a suspension, the danger exists that the corporations name will be taken by another entity during the time of the suspension. Additionally, the risk of being unable to participate in litigation,as well as the risk of having a contract voided by the other party, greatly outweigh the burden of complying with the requirements of the Secretary of State and the Franchise Tax Board.I DEMAND MY MONEY TO BE REFUNDED

IFAs call for better qualified FSA staff
- Demand from IFAs drives IFS to raise bar on quals
- CII urges employers to focus on apprentices
- RDR education 'campaign should target consumers'
More on UK Regulation
Asked how many of the FSA's intermediary-facing staff and supervisors, and those who conduct visits, were level-four qualified, the regulator said: "The level-four qualifications are not a prerequisite for employment in the FSA.
"The skill set for FSA staff is different to that of financial advisers. Therefore we do not maintain a record of level-four qualifications."
When asked how many of the FSA's senior directors and board members had level four or equivalent, how many were chartered and have a master's degree in finance, the FSA responded that fewer than 10 senior directors held any of those qualifications.
Duncan Carter, director of Lancashire-based Clearwater Financial Planning, said if FSA staff were to hold a financial planning qualification, it would "probably engender more confidence among those who were regulated".
He said: "It would show a lot more empathy with the regulated community. If staff had some hands-on experience and had worked within the profession, as opposed to coming from a big consultancy or quango-style background, it would create even more confidence among IFAs."
Mr Carter suggested the issue could be considered by the incoming Financial Conduct Authority when it is recruiting staff.
Jason Ashman, director of Birmingham-based Chatfield Private Client, said confidence in the regulator was "crucial" and if IFA-facing staff held a level-four qualification it could boost confidence.
He said: "What is sometimes a gripe with IFAs is when we are doing our upmost to get qualified and then interface with a regulator who doesn't have any appreciation of the world in which we live and work who has a tick-box mentality rather than using judgement.
"You must have confidence that the regulator understands the pressure you are under so it's not unreasonable for IFAs to expect that staff, especially the representatives that visit regulated business, sit a few exams. It would also help if the FSA recruited more from within the financial planning industry."
David Thomson, director of policy and public affairs for the Chartered Insurance Institute, said: "In the light of the new regulatory culture of the FCA, it is important they get the right blend of skills, including recruiting those with knowledge of working within the industry itself."
Sue Whitbread, communications director for the Institute of Financial Planning, said: "For effective regulation to take place, the individuals involved need to have a clear and detailed understanding of how the firms they are regulating actually work in practice.
"Whether the best way to achieve this is for individuals to have professional qualifications is a possibility, but a greater understanding of the business issues should also be high on the list."

Anticipating Hong Kong Short Positions Reporting Rules, ConvergEx Updates OMS
The rules, set to be implemented in June, provide more stringent standards for weekly reporting of net short positions on Hong Kong Stock Exchange-listed firms.
Agency broker and trading technology provider ConvergEx has announced it will add a reporting tool to its order management system, Eze OMS, addressing the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission's (SFC's) new requirements surrounding disclosure of net short positions, set to come into force this June.
The solution will create reports of users' short sales of Hong Kong Stock Exchange-listed companies as specified under the SFC regulation, automatically importing updated lists of those companies identified by the regulator, while clients using Eze Compliance will additionally be able to customize a rule to notify them when positions require disclosure.
The new rules direct firms to report those positions when, at close of trading on a Friday or other reporting day, they are valued higher than the lesser of either HK$30 million ($3.87 million) or 0.02 percent of the value of the total number of specified shares issued by the applicable listed company.
"We have always maintained that it is critically important for us to help our customers prepare for regulatory and compliance changes in a timely manner by providing robust and flexible solutions that streamline labor‐intensive regulatory reporting processes," says R.G. Manalac, managing director of Asia-Pacific consulting for ConvergEx's Eze Castle Software.

WWE will have two more shots at creating classic ladder matches at Money in the Bank 2013.
Whether they have been standard ladder matches, the TLC (Tables, Ladders and Chairs) variety or the Money in the Bank version, WWE's greatest matches collection is brimming with matches that have challengers climbing up rungs to snag a prize hanging above the ring.
The absolute best ladder matches have featured some of the same stars again and again. Chris Jericho, Shawn Michaels and Edge are among the masters who have electrified audiences with the help of a ladder or two.
Just missing the cut are classics like the Tag Team Championship TLC Match at SummerSlam 2000, John Cena and Edge's battle at Unforgiven 2006, Christian outlasting Alberto Del Rio in 2011 and most recently The Shield debuting against Team Hell No and Ryback.
The following are the ladder matches that entertained us just a touch more than those. They are ranked on historical significance, entertainment value, star power and how much they've become a part of our memories.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Instead of an opinion that's thought-provoking and supported by facts, Virgil Van Camp, in his July 12 column, offers a bigotry-provoking piece "supported" with unsubstantiated opinions.
"Attraction to boys in the gay community is well known," he states.
Well-known to whom? According to what statistics or research?
"There are active groups, especially on the Internet, that advocate man-boy relationships," he writes.
Who, besides the infamous NAMBLA, are these "active" groups and what are they actively doing to advocate man-boy relationships?
"Much of gay pornography features nubile boys in provocative poses," Van Camp states.
What percentage is "much?" More than nubile girls in straight pornography? Where's the research to back this claim?
Were Van Camp to bother checking with the Department of Human Services, Child Health Division, he would inform us that less than 5 percent of child sexual abuse is homosexual. Ninety-five percent is heterosexual men abusing underage girls.
The same ratio apparently holds true in online pornography, according to research, even in the notorious "Wonderland" chat group - internationally busted for trading and creating child-porn pictures.
The vast majority of straight or gay men are not interested in nor do they molest children. The vast majority of child molesters are straight.
By those facts and statistics, heterosexual men should be removed immediately from teaching positions and all other posts where they're in contact with children. Gay men are a far safer bet.
Of course, this is absurd.
Van Camp would rather foster divisiveness and demonization than help solve one of society's most important challenges: real knowledge about gays and lesbians, and the misuse of religion to maintain restriction of their full civil rights as Americans.
Rather than inform himself, and us, on the issue, Van Camp simply reveals his own ineptness as a commentary writer and (unintentionally) his own immature and uninformed bigotry.
Van Camp's column contains not one informative fact, only his apparent personal forboding that some vague, unsubstantiated, but probably large group of pedophiliac homosexuals are out to seduce our boys and young men.
Amarillo, and the rest of the nation, deserves better commentary on this issue.

Instituto Juan de Mariana [1]
Instituto Juan de Mariana (IJM)
The Instituto Juan de Mariana (IJM) is a private nonprofit group founded in 2005 by Gabriel Calzada [2], a climate change skeptic with connections to other conservative think tanks including the Ludwig von Mises Institute [3], Centre for the New Europe [4], and the Libertarian Alliance [5]. [1], [2]
The Institute launched [6]with a seminar opposing the Kyoto Protocol, attended by Christopher Horner [7]of the Competitive Enterprise Institute [8]. Calzada previously represented the Center for New Europe [4] in Spain, a free-market Brussels think-tank that had received funding from ExxonMobil [9]. In 2009, Calzada authored a report that claimed spending on green energy had destroyed 2.2 million jobs in a report commissioned by the US Institute for Energy Research (IER) [10] — a group that had received over $300,000 in funding from ExxonMobil [9]as well as funding from Koch Industries [11]. [3]
The Institute is named after the Spanish philosopher Juan de Mariana [12], who defended private property and encouraged limits on government. [4]
The Institute's original mission [13] is "to investigate and make known to the public Spanish, European and Latin American, the benefits provided to the general interests of private property, free enterprise and limited scope of public authorities." It claims no political affiliation. The Institute's revised mission statement is "Deploying the Network of Freedom [14]" through a "Freedom Network," "Knowledge Network," and "Broadcast Network." [5], [6]
Stance on Climate Change
According to Gabriel Calzada, founder and president of IJM, there is no direct relation between CO2 emissions and "supposed global warming." He believes Humans have no capacity to cause climate change. [3]
According to their website [15], "The Juan de Mariana Institute is a private non-profit organization without any political affiliation finances its activities thanks to the aid it receives from individuals, foundations and private institutions that share its objectives. The Institute does not accept grants or aid to political parties or government agencies." [7]
A 2010 investigation (PDF) [6] by Corporate Europe Observatory reports that Juan de Mariana has been shown to operate with money connected to Koch Industries [16]. [3]
In 2009, Mother Jones magazine reported [17] that Institute Juan de Mariana received more than $100,000 from the Atlas Economic Research Foundation [18], a group which has funded a large number of other groups skeptical of climate change. [8]

Instituto Juan de Mariana's president, Gabriel Calzada, is regularly involved with Atlas Network events. For example, on October 1, 2015, he spoke on "financial and political threats to the United States, highlighting the role of the Chinese economy, and immigration from Latin America." [11]
November, 2010
May, 2010
The Instituto Juan de Mariana was a co-sponsor (PDF) [23]of the Heartland Institute's Fourth International Conference on Climate Change in Chicago. [12]
DeSmogBlog found [24]that 19 of the conference's 65 sponsors had received over $40 million from ExxonMobil since 1985. [13]
June 2, 2009
Instituto Juan de Mariana was a co-sponsor [25]of the Heartland Institute's Third International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC3) in Washington, DC. [14]
March 8-10, 2009
September, 2009
Shortly after President Obama cited Spain's success at creating green jobs, Republicans brought in Gabriel Calzada, president of Institute Juan de Mariana to present a study that claimed each green job in Spain destroyed 2.2 jobs as a result. The study bore the letterhead of the University of Rey Juan Carlos where Calzada is Associate Professor, but was co-commissioned by the Instituto Juan de Mariana.
According to the study, "the Spanish/EU-style 'green jobs' agenda now being promoted in the U.S. in fact destroys jobs. […] The study's results demonstrate how such 'green jobs' policy clearly hinders Spain's way out of the current economic crisis, even while U.S. politicians insist that rushing into such a scheme will ease their own emergence from the turmoil."
Calzada testified before the House Select Committee on Energy Independence, stating that "Europe's experience actually suggests that this is precisely the wrong approach." The study that Calzada referenced was debunked by the Spanish Government. Gabriel Calzada also appeared on Fox News [29]to promote his study. [8], [17], [18]
When the IJM was launched in 2005, it began with a seminar against the Kyoto Protocol that was attended by climate change skeptic Christopher Horner [7] from the Competitive Enterprise Institute [8]. Gabriel Calzada, the founder of IJM previously represented the Center for the New Europe [4] in Spain.
The seminar which examined Kyoto and the Spanish Economy attracted Alberto Recarte, president of Liberty Digital, who said that Spain would be the country to "Pay Kyoto in absolute terms." IJM arranged the conference in collaboration with the Competitive Enterprise Institute and the University of Rey Juyan Carlos. Juan Jose Toribio, President of IESE in Madrid and former IMF Executive Director was also a speaker. [19]

Best Uses
I like the parka, but it's not as warm as it stated. I bought it so I would have a warm coat to wear when I walk the dog in snow & cold and when I shovel snow. Unfortunately, the sleeves don't keep my arms warm at all. I wish they would have added the same berber to the sleeves that they have in the body of the coat. Even when I layer under it, my arms are still cold. I considered returning it, but decided to keep it for cool fall and spring weather. I do like the pockets and the color and the freedom of movement with the gussets.
Best Uses
This coat makes winter work fun. The length is terrific - no cold blast up your back from bending. I am surprised that you are discontinuing the parka length - having a warm backside is half the battle. I have a husky, and I find myself playing with him way more, instead of rushing through chores and racing back inside. And the fabric is unbeatable - tough, and (apparently) stain-resistant. Yes, I would recommend this to a friend - I bought my mother one!
Best Uses
I loved the fit of this parka. Very warm and comfortable. I am under 5' tall and 100 lbs. I bought the small and it fits great!
Best Uses
Great coat that I would buy again. Nice long sleeves! And I love the placement of the hand-warmer pockets. Glad to finally have a "quiet" jacket that does not swoosh, swoosh, swoosh with the every arm-swing.
Personally, I'm not a fan of drawcords at the waist - but they can be ignored.
The two way zipper works great. But, you have to remember to unzip it from the bottom a bit every time you get in the car. (I'm concerned that over time, the zipper might start ripping out. And yes, the jacket is large enough for me. I even bought it slightly larger to accomodate layers.) I'd prefer a "split" bottom and not have the zipper go all the way down.
The biggest drawback: The cord/cord lock on the hood are difficult to use even with bare fingers. Forget about it if you're wearing gloves or mittens.
Best Uses
I love this coat! The longest I've really worn it outside was pumping gas. Even in single digit windy weather I was warm. Light rain doesn't seem to be an issue either. I don't know about other things but baby slober/spit-up wipes right off like it was never there. Sleeve length and coat length is great-I'm 5'11" so I have long arms and a long torso. I love all the pockets. I haven't noticed that the sleeves feel narrow or tight as some have said. I like that it is heavy but not bulky. I think it runs pretty true to size. I would definitely recommend this coat!

Warnock named eight debutants, including Varney and Norris, and teenage defender Sam Byram, with the hosts taking the lead through Becchio in the 20th minute.
Another summer signing, Rodolph Austin, fired in a shot from outside the penalty area and, although Shrewsbury goalkeeper Chris Weale got down well to keep the ball out, Argentinian Becchio slid home the rebound from six yards.
Leeds doubled their advantage six minutes later following a sweeping move that ended with striker McCormack's shot blocked, allowing Varney to pounce and apply a neat finish.
Shrewsbury's Luke Summerfield lashed a shot wide for the visitors soon after, while team-mates Paul Parry and Jermaine Grandison had both gone close with long-distance efforts earlier.
But Leeds looked the more assured in possession and midfielder Norris twice went close to adding a third, before eventually slamming home a shot into the bottom corner from Varney's headed knockdown.
McCormack stroked his penalty into the bottom corner to make it 4-0 in the 70th minute after Shrews defender Michael Hector handled in the area.
Mathias Pogba marked his debut with a double as newly-promoted Crewe dumped Hartlepool out of the Capital One Cup with a crushing 5-0 victory.
A first-half strike by winger Matty Robson enabled Carlisle to see off a determined challenge from League Two side Accrington Stanley as the Cumbrians held out for a 1-0 win.
Ajay Leitch-Smith (seven) and Mathias Pogba (31) werealso on target for the Railwaymen before half-time while Pogba added another in the final minute to make it five.
Middlesbrough edged into the next round with a 2-1 scoreline against Bury at Gigg Lane, with Marvin Emnes (32) and Grant Leadbitter (61) securing Boro's passage.
Chris Dagnall spared team-mate Ben Alnwick's blushes by firing Barnsley to a 4-3 win over Rochdale after extra-time at Spotland.
Stale Solbakken started life as Wolves boss with an unconvincing victory after his side just about edged past Aldershot on penalties in their Capital One Cup first-round clash at Molineux.
Solbakken's side, who are bidding to secure an immediate return to the Premier League, were desperately short of quality against a plucky Shots side who pushed them all the way.
Sylvan Ebanks-Blake's well-taken finish opened the scoring in the second half before the League Two visitors, who made the fourth round last term before bowing out to Manchester United, quickly levelled matters through Michael Rankine's header.
And after both sides were put through a draining 120 minutes on the opening day, it was left for Wanderers keeper Carl Ikeme to make the decisive shoot-out save to deny Jordan Roberts from the spot and seal a narrow 7-6 triumph.
Steve Bruce began his reign as Hull manager in dramatic fashion as the Tigers progressed to the Capital One Cup second round with a 7-6 penalty shoot-out victory over Rotherham.
The Championship side had to come from behind after summer signing Lionel Ainsworth made an immediate impact from the bench, putting the Millers ahead in the 52nd minute with an unstoppable volley from the edge of the box.
Bruce's own super sub Aaron Mclean spared his blushes with an equaliser after 70 minutes.
Summer signing Ashley Hemmings scored on his debut to send Walsall into the second round of the Capital One Cup with a 1-0 win at home to 10-man Brentford.
Substitute Chris Iwelumo's extra-time goal secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Wycombe in Gianfranco Zola's first competitive game in charge of Watford.
Burton Albion pulled off a dramatic victory at Brammall Lane as they beat Sheffield United 5-4 on penalties after drawing 2-2.
Notts County also lost at home, losing 1-0 to Bradford City after extra time.
And Rochdale also missed out after extra time on home turf, losing 4-3 to Barnsley at Spotland.
And finally, Doncaster beat local rivals York 4-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw at the Keepmoat Stadium.

First off the pay is garbage for someone with a Masters Degree and the shear amount of pressure and improbable expectations they require, lest they fire you.
The main issue is the CEO and the executive branch received a massive bonus yet the company is financially in dire straights. They even went $5.0 MM over budget to get Janet Jackson as the new spokesperson and her ads aren't making as much of a difference.
All the while, the employees get an email detailing how there will be no pay increases (even cost of living), cuts to vacations and no bonuses this year. Yet our expectations for our "ratings" go up 20% and we are submitted to weekly reviews. If our ratings are too low or our "aux time" is too high we get put on a "Personal Improvement Plan" (PIP) which is basically probation right before they fire you. When they raised the ratings, 92% of the employees went on PIPs. They actually lowered them for a bit ad just raised them again. Especially for the aux time.
However, that aux time is needed to do your job! You need to write tons of notes, especially in counseling. If you go to the bathroom? aux time. Need to blow your nose? aux time. You have a registered injury with ADA documentation where you need to get up at least once an hour to move around for a minute? aux time.
What about "Events"? Late to work past 15 minutes? That's an event or partial event. (they do halves and quarters). Go into labor while in the office? Oh yeah, that's an event. Have to be rushed to an emergency room for having a stroke? That's two events!
Too many events and oh yeah, they fire you.
What about "supervisors" that not only don't have training or experience being an actual supervisor, but they don't even know how to use the phone and employee systems correctly. Not to mention having the IQ of drift wood with a Traumatic Brain Injury. Yet they are your supervisor when you have 90 IQ points and two degrees above them.
How about bomb threats at work. Oh yeah, we've had two so far. The one time, they didn't even evacuate the building! The second time, we sat outside in the freezing cold for almost 6 hours.
And you wonder why out of just the call center employees we have had 2 strokes, a heart attack and a suicide - in just this past year. You might think it's because of the financial situation. Nope, they were actually worse when they were making money hand over fist.

The Matching Enterprise Grants for Agriculture Program (MEGA) seeks to help Massachusetts' farmers who have been in business for at least one, but no more than five years, acquire equipment and other non-land assets, or make infrastructure improvements, that can help insure the financial viability of their farm businesses. Matching funds of up to $10,000 are available to implement improvement strategies after individual business review and analysis provided by the Department. Business analysis assistance is an additional program benefit and the value of that service is in addition to the grant award.
It is the objective of the MEGA Program to assist farmers who aspire to develop their farms into commercially viable operations. Priority will be given to new farms that can use program investment to increase farm production, marketing, and income. It is not the objective of the MEGA Program to support "hobby" or rural lifestyle enterprises where only minor consideration is given to the success of the business of agriculture.
Funding provided from this Program will be made available on a one to one matching, cost reimbursement grant basis. The maximum award shall be $10,000. Selected participants will sign a contract with the Department for the agreed upon project. Expenditures made prior to the contract start date will not be eligible for reimbursement. All expenditures must be made by June 30, the end of the state fiscal year.
Matching Enterprise Grants for Agriculture Applications Available:
The Department of Agricultural Resources expects to announce an open application period for MEGA by early April 2017 and applications will be due by June 2017. RFRs (Request for Responses) and the policy information they contain do change from year to year. If you would like to see a copy of the last MEGA application - click on: MEGA Application FY17 This application is posted for informational purposes only and will not be accepted if submitted.
