Skip to comments.Amazon.com begins collecting California Sales Tax
Posted on 09/14/2012 7:41:00 PM PDT by pansgold
After years of being a member of Amazon.com, I just CLOSED MY AMAZON.COM ACCOUNT after they agreed to begin collecting sales taxes for this blood sucking state.
I'll continue online shopping from OUT OF STATE VENDORS and PAY ZERO state tax and get free shipping. I get what I want and Amazon.com and Calistan LOSE!
You mean buying through Amazon from out of state vendors will help you avoid the state sales tax?
Didn't I just say "I CLOSED MY AMAZON.COM ACCOUNT"?
NO. I said I will buy directly from out of state vendors that do not charge California sales tax.
Try eBay or Craigs list.
No. That's not what he said.
Prime Member here.
When they start charging tax in Merryland I'm out.
Then I will short Amazon.
Why wait?
Smart move because it just hit a 22+ high.
That's not what he said? Really?
What about an answer to my question?
I appreciate informative posts. No one appreciates emotional posts.
Amazon surrendered. Too bad. I love Amazon. They held out for a long while, but I'm not sure they had any choice. Other options must be explored.
But it was alright, everything was alright, the struggle was finished.
He Amazon had won the victory over himself. He Amazon loved Big Brother. ― George Orwell, 1984
Buy direct from websites outside the state.
Yes, really.
What about an answer to my question?
I did answer your question. I replied with a simple "no."
I appreciate informative posts. No one appreciates emotional posts.
I agree with you, the original post appeared very emotional and did not present much in the way of background or factual information. There's not even a source.
I did almost all of my Christmas shopping through Amazon last year because with free shipping and no sales tax, there were really good deals on toys for the kids and other unique items and I didn't need to physically go to 100 different places. If they start charging sales tax, they're going to lose a ton of business because that was one of the great things about shopping there— saving on tax and shipping.
want facts? Try GOOGLE. It took me all of 3 seconds there to find the story.
What is the Almighty State about now? Streets of my city are full of potholes, but state taxes, sales taxes and property taxes are at their all time high. Where does the money go? There used to be state services, well stocked libraries, good schools, and now? Like you, I suspect that the taxes go to overpaid state workers (yes they are predominantly black here, and predominantly or certainly behind the wheels of Lexuses and Mercedeses), as Obama is not the only symptom of the white man's guilt, and they go toward services for the so called poor, but not the really poor, the unaccounted poor, whom you see pushing stolen shopping carts on city streets filled with their possessions and empty cans and bottles.
Because I get stuff cheaper than Costco and second day air or over night, which I love to do on Thursdays, and I don't have to leave the house.
When saving money and not paying tax on it I'm done.
They didn't "AGREE" to it. The state of California FORCED then to do it. You are punishing the WRONG entity.
I've been buying a lot from dealers who advertise through Amazon. They're going to suffer, too.
I would rather support surrounding business' anyway to help keep the local retail industry healthy.
If your dumb enough to live in the state, your dumb enough to pay taxes.
Shame on you. Shop local! Keep you tax dollars, and jobs, in your community. If you don't like California, then MOVE.
A few years back there was a case where Massachusetts (high sales tax) tried to force a company in neighboring New Hampshire (no sales tax) to assist Massachusetts in collecting sales tax from Massachusetts residents.In short,the effort failed miserably.
Oh well,to the Maoists currently running California it's all about the Benjamins.
That's good. That's why after 2 decades here we are loading up the RV and leaving after selling everything we don't haul.
My wife and I will spend out golden years traveling no matter what the price of gas. After 40 years together, she deserves that much from me.
The moment Amazon charges sales tax I will do as you are doing. The parasite class will only use the additional money to abuse us. Mostly they will just outright waste it.
I pray for the day that the bureaucratic parasite class will be forced to earn an honest day's pay in the private sector.
Why wait to short the stock?
I believe they have an office here. They'd be better off firing everyone and letting the fire department burn it for fun.
"Amazon surrendered. Too bad. I love Amazon. They held out for a long while, but Im not sure they had any choice. Other options must be explored."
That's right, Amazon didn't have any other choice. CA is a big state that they couldn't afford not to have a presence in, and the Lib, Dem State forced them into it as they are so desperate for more money to fill their coffers for more social spending and the state is broke. It's for the children, you know.
Meanwhile, there is more than one way to skin a cat. Amazon needs more warehouses for their goods, so they will now open new ones in CA where they are stuck having to pay the sales tax anyway (Amazon, like all other big box/catalog businesses have to collect sales taxes in states where they have a physical presence). So, Amazon may as well make use of CA for their warehouse facilities now that they are stuck collecting sales tax there, and at least get something out of it. Actually, this will work to the benefit of the high amount of unemployed population in CA as at least some of them can now get jobs at the new warehouses, as well as the new construction of them producing jobs too.
I think that shorting Amazon is the right thing to do, as great a company they are - this surrender will definitely affect their sales. The states are greedy and still broke.
It'd going to drop!
No need to be snippy with me. I didn't ask for anything. I don't come to FR looking for headlines that I subsequently have to research on the Internet. It's nice to find the story after a headline.
Since you brought it up, however, why didn't you simply post the story in the first place? You could have included your rant as a comment, instead of a vanity post self-described as "breaking news."
In Massachusetts...and,I'll wager,*most* states with a sales tax...the sales tax's official title is "sales and use" tax.Under Massachusetts tax law anything you buy anywhere that would incur sales tax in the state must be declared on your state income tax return and at that time you pay the 6.25%.Of course,with no sales tax New Hampshire right next door and with Amazon and similar companies very few residents declare such purchases.
Of course *I* do,because I'm a *good* boy! ;-)
I've been perfectly happy with Amazon not having presence here. I can wait (for the delivery) and haven't had to wait long. If the local businesses sold at a discount, I'd buy from them, but I've been buying my photo and hifi equipment for decades from places like New York City, presumably high rent districts (42st Street Photo, for example), while the local dealers justified their high prices by their supposedly high rents, a least until the Hindu owned stores opened up here.
Because it hasn't gone nationwide yet?
I short usually after the free fall begins the cheap bastard that I am.
Ever notice all the typo's in my posts? I'm almost blind. It's all I can do to type a few lines.
Driving... well that's another matter. The bright lines really help.

Remember Crown Books when it beat the book dealers to the bunch with discounts? Remember the used record stores that provoked the one and only (has-been) Garth Brooks to refuse to distribute to them?
If that's the case then there's something for the state to seize.It's probably just a matter of doing some math to determine if it makes more sense to stay there and collect the tax or leave and refuse to do so.Leave and the state sizes the office but you keep more CA customers.Stay and collect and you get to keep the office but you lose at least *some* CA customers.
On An iPad, you're lucky all the words are spelled correctly.
That's your right. But it sure seems that the day is coming when online sales will be taxed just like any other, and I can see the equity in that. Online businesses consume public services just like brick-and-mortar businesses do, so why shouldn't they pay their "fair share" (gawd how I hate that term!)
Large gated South Florida homes
Yup,over the last couple of years I've done exactly that...about $8K worth of various electronic items from NYC (B&H,J&R,etc) which doesn't collect taxes on out of state shipments.But as I said,I report all such purchases on my state tax return,as required by state law,because I'm a *good* boy! ;-)
Yes, I notice typos all the time — proofreading is part of my daily job. Lots of writing on the Internet is replete with typos, and I pretty much stopped pointing out online spelling and grammatical errors years ago.
I had no idea you're almost blind. If that's the case, it's understandable that cutting and pasting Internet text may be more challenging. I wasn't seeking to quarrel with anyone this evening.
Shares of Amazon reached an all-time high Thursday as investors bid up the stock in anticipation of the company's announcement of additions to its Kindle tablet line (CNET's live blog of the event starts at 10 a.m.). Amazon's stock is up more than 43 percent for the year. In part, the stock is climbing on the assumption that gross profit margins are going to continue to increase. During Amazon's second quarter, gross profits margins widened to 26.1 percent from 24.1 percent, which surpassed Wall Street's expectations for the company. At least for now, that calmed the critics who pointed to the continuing heavy investments in marketing, infrastructure, and fulfillment.
If you go to Europe where they collect VAT on just about everything, collect your receipts and present them at the airport just before departure, they'll refund all your VAT payments, because, why not, that is a civilized way of handling taxation. Why should I pay California sales tax on a purchase made in New York?
Well, good luck. I love Amazon and will continue to buy from them. I unfortunately live in IL which is also going after Amazon to collect sales tax and at some point they may be forced into it by our State pols. So far, they have held off, but many states are after Amazon because it is a big money pot of revenue collection, and the lib states are all broke.
The states claim it is unfair competition with local businesses as an excuses, but local businesses don't have to charge shipping like on-line and catalog businesses do, a giant point the pols fail to acknowledge. They just want the money, regardless of what it does to an on-line or catalog's business bottom line. Less people shopping a website, like you because you are taking it out on the wrong entity, Amazon in this particular case, will eventually affect sales, and less business start-ups on the web, and thus less jobs for potential employees. A lose, lose situation.
You can leave Amazon, but soon the states will be forcing all on-line website businesses and catalog houses to collect sales taxes and there will be nowhere for you to go. People need to go after the Pols that are supporting such legislation, not the victim businesses that end up having to bend to their political will.
Here's an article about this scheme. There is plenty more info available online. Apparently Washington State is gung-ho for this.
"the day is coming when online sales will be taxed just like any other"? Ever wonder what Article 1 Section 9 Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution says?
"No tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State.

Estimated grade. Sold in Stack's Auction of Garrett / Hopkins University, Mar. 1976
Ron Guth:
The 1904 Liberty Head Nickel in Proof is a common coin thanks to a relatively high mintage of over 1,800 coins. Many of the Proofs went into collections and dealer inventories and, for the most part, were cared for well over the ensuing years. Among the Proofs graded by PCGS, the majority are in PR64 or better condition. Also, it should be pointed out that PCGS has certified nearly a third of all the 1904 Proof all by itself.
Because of changes made in the early 20th century in the way Proofs were made, it is difficult to obtain Cameo examples of this date. Deep Cameo examples may not exist or, if they do, they are exceedingly rare. Even regular Cameo examples are rare.
As with most of the Liberty Head Nickels, be they Mint State or Proof, look for well-struck examples that are as free of carbon spots as possible.

Running landingsOctober 24, 2012 by Tim McAdams
A running landing is used when there might not be enough available power to hover. This maneuver is typically used at high gross weight, high density altitude and for some emergency procedures involving the tail rotor. A twin engine helicopter might use this type of landing when making a single engine landing. As such, pilots normally practice this type of landing.
Performing the maneuver is fairly straight forward. The pilot would typically use a shallower approach; align the helicopter with the touchdown area and touchdown at or above effective translational lift. Depending on the reason, the touchdown airspeed is normally between 20 and 40 knots, however, it should be at the lowest airspeed for the situation to minimize ground run. As the helicopter slides to a stop the pilot should use the cyclic control to maintain ground track, the pedals for heading (important not to allow the helicopter to slide sideways), and the collective control to apply braking force.
When practicing this maneuver, extreme caution should be taken to insure a level and unobstructed landing surface. The follow NTSB account illustrates just what can go wrong even when care is taken.
On May 24, 2011, at 1503 eastern daylight time, a Schweizer 269C, N7505Y, sustained substantial damage during a practice run-on landing at Asheville Regional Airport (AVL), Asheville, North Carolina. The certificated flight instructor (CFI) and private pilot receiving instruction were not injured.
According to the pilot receiving instruction, who was also the owner of the helicopter, the purpose of the flight was to conduct a flight review. Approximately 50 minutes into the flight, the CFI asked the pilot to demonstrate a run-on landing to runway 16. The pilot conducted the approach for landing at about 40 knots and touched down left of the runway centerline on both skids. As he lowered the collective, the helicopter's right skid contacted a runway centerline light, shearing off the right skid and its support arms.
The pilot raised the collective, picked the helicopter up to a hover and turned towards the taxiway. Shortly after, the engine and rotor RPM began to drop, the pilot opened the throttle and lowered the collective, setting the helicopter on the left skid. The helicopter rolled over and came to rest on its right side, resulting in substantial damage to the main rotor blades.
A post-accident examination by the pilot revealed that during the right skid's impact with the centerline light the front landing gear crossbeam was pushed aft, crimping the fuel supply line.
The pilot later made these comments:
"From the skid tube marks on the runway, it became evident that the right, central skid shoe (attached to the bottom of the skid) had contacted the recessed centerline runway light straight-on. As such, the shoe jammed firmly against the flat surface of the runway light housing at the lens face of the light (north end of the light housing). Here is my main concern: Had my run-on landing been a true emergency landing without the benefit of power (that was instantly available after impact, though short-lived), the outcome would have been much different. The right under-carriage, now minus all skid landing gear, would have contacted the asphalt surface spinning us clock-wise, the left skid would have dug into the surface, and we would have cart-wheeled down runway 16 with a certain likelihood of serious injury or death. The threat of a helicopter fire would have been very likely.
No one would expect a 1.5 inch wide skid shoe would ever jam into an approximately 2 inch wide light port on this recessed light. But it did, and my helicopter is destroyed as a result."

It's as bad as buying a fake Rolex.
So guess u guys are saying Formo bravo are no good? What do I know
So guess u guys are saying Formo bravo are no good?
Ok maybe for a commercial setting but for me who is looking to learn on a wfo you think it is worth it?
Yeah I wouldn't get that oven fir my home I'm talking primavera or something like that. How would thePrimavera perform in winter time as I'm sure insulation is a factor?
Not at all. Forno bravo does not manufacture any ovens they sell, they supply & assemble. Their ovens come from a variety of manufacturers, not just one. They do a very good job at supplying & assembling wood fired ovens for residential & light commercial use. You can't take a Modena oven, make it look like a SF & compare the two. There is absolutely no comparison whatsover. The materials used in construction is what makes the oven, not the facade. Matt
I hate to correct you, but Forno Bravo now manufactures every oven they sell -- from scratch -- here in the US. And don't discount the Modena so quickly -- it's comparable to a Pavesi in every way, and the Pavesi is a very popular and respected oven in Italy and all of Europe.
If I'm wrong I stand corrected. My information came from one of the original distributors of FB & the author of many ebooks sold on the Forno Bravo site. He helped me with my oven 2 years ago which is when we had this conversation. I'm not saying that the Modena is not a good oven & have never even heard of the oven that you mentioned. I am referring specifically to a SF. The Modena is not a new oven & if it's such a great oven then leave it be. Why make it look like something else?MATT
Matt, Pavesi is the manufacturer of the Forno Bravo ovens. You know how you see that weird P on the front of the Forbo Bravo commercial ovens, it's their mark.
Used to be. These are now made by Forno Bravo in the US at a much more competitive price.
So you never used it in winter?
And dont forget about tracking 6" of snow thru the house to serve the pizza. I dont use mine either John, but my friend has the p60 right outside his door! on his deck 2-3 steps or so (keeps it shoveled and fired all winter) so I can keep the flavor buds working all winter this pic was around 25 degrees !John

In consideration of the peanut allergies which may afflict some passengers, we hereby state that:
Inhalation intolerance
Given the above, Alitalia, not being able to provide a no-risk travel environment nor guarantee the health of those suffering from intolerance to peanuts or to inhaling peanut dust, invites those persons not to ask to be transported on its flights as it would be unable to ensure their physical safety.
Food intolerance
Passengers with a food allergy to peanuts should contact the Alitalia back office in Rome (or call the reservations office which will forward the call to the back office) not less than 24 hrs prior to their flight. They will do everything possible to ensure that the meal served to them is completely devoid of peanuts or substances containing peanuts.
There are special circumstances such as – for example and not all inclusive – cancellations, delays, aircraft changes and such, which may make it impossible to meet the client's request for a peanut or peanut-product-free meal - even though the request had been confirmed when the booking was made - if the nature of the particular situation does not allow for a timely intervention to solve the problem.
Passengers who suffer from food allergies to peanuts are strongly urged to always carry the medicines needed in the event of an allergy episode during a trip (Epipen or other anaphylaxis that can be used personally and thermo carrying case) and any other remedy deemed necessary by his or her doctor. It is also recommended they wear a bracelet indicating the allergy and, if accompanied by family members or traveling companions, make sure that at least one of them is trained in the administration of the drug, should it be necessary. The affected passenger traveling alone must, however, be able to administer the medication by him/herself.
It is important to point out that the acceptance on the part of the Airline to carry passengers affected by food allergies to peanuts and their derivatives is confirmed in agreement with the Airline, which must have been duly informed by the passenger of his condition at the moment of reserving the flight. Passengers suffering from food allergy to peanuts and their derivatives, who have duly informed the Airline of their special needs, will be carried in accordance with these special needs unless this is impossible for reasons beyond the Airline's control.
If passengers suffering from a food allergy to peanuts and their derivatives do not inform the Airline of this allergy within the required amount of time, the Airline cannot guarantee the absence of peanuts or substances derived from them in meals/snacks served to those passengers on board their flights. On those flights where it is possible to order a special meal, Alitalia's back office will do everything possible to guarantee the passenger a meal without peanuts as requested.
Domestic flights
No special meals can be requested for domestic flights. As such, there can be no assurance of meals without peanuts.
In the case of code-sharing on flights on which Alitalia does not appear as the Operating Carrier (eg. AZ 7000) the Airline will request a special peanut-free meal from the Airline actually operating the flight. In these cases, however, it may not be possible to have a confirmation of the meal request nor receive the requested meal on board.

Tail rotor strikesFriday, May 25th, 2012
On March 16, 2003, a Bell 430 helicopter landed at an accident site at night. After the medical crew exited the helicopter the pilot decided to reposition the aircraft to face west for departure. During this repositioning the tail rotor hit a roadway sign and the aircraft became airborne to around five or six feet. The pilot lowered the collective and rolled the throttles to idle to stop the aircraft rotation. The helicopter touched down on the left rear skid first and came to rest 180 degrees from its initial heading. A post-accident examination revealed the tail rotor and gearbox had departed the helicopter.
Darkness certainly makes objects harder to see. However, two years prior to this accident, during daylight conditions, a Bell 222UT was damaged when its tail rotor impacted a barrel while landing on a paved traffic turn-around area. The pilot said that while hovering, he decided to reorient the aircraft to help with loading the patient. During the right pedal turn, the tail rotor struck a 55-gallon trash barrel. The helicopter yawed to the right and the pilot brought the throttles to flight idle and landed the helicopter. The tail boom was twisted, the tail rotor blades were damaged and the tail rotor gearbox was nearly separated from the airframe.
Not visible from the cockpit, a helicopter's tail rotor is perhaps the most vulnerable component to striking objects in a hover. EMS pilots are especially at risk, as their job involves routinely landing in obstacle-rich environments. Although a tail rotor strike in a hover can cause serious damage, the potential for personal injury is low compared to what can happen in flight.
On May 17, 1999, a Bell OH-58A, operated by a public service agency on a photo flight, was destroyed on impact with the terrain and the private pilot and passenger sustained fatal injuries.
A witness reported that he saw a helicopter flying southbound at an altitude of approximately 350-400 ft. He saw what was possibly a large bird hit the rear rotor of the helicopter, after which two objects approximately the size of grapefruits fell to the ground. He said that the objects were falling slowly as though they were light, not fast like something heavy. The helicopter made three to four rotations during its descent.
The NTSB examined the tail assembly and found an elastic material with navy blue yarns wrapped around the tail rotor. The material, along with a sample of a navy blue warm-up jacket found along the reported flight path, was sent to the NTSB's Materials Laboratory for examination. The color, size and texture of the navy-blue yarns in the elastic material were consistent with those found in the navy blue warm-up jacket.
The NTSB determined the probable cause of this accident was the tail rotor's impact with the blue warm-up jacket and the subsequent overload of the tail rotor drive shaft. A contributing factor was the absence of the helicopter's doors.
Removing a helicopter's doors places the tail rotor at increased risk. In 1993, an R22 helicopter flying with its left door removed crashed after an aluminum kneeboard exited the helicopter and hit the tail rotor. The pilot and passenger were killed.
There have been numerous cases where objects have come out of the cabin or an unsecured baggage compartment and struck the tail rotor. In some cases the pilots have been able to enter autorotation or otherwise land with minor damage or injury. However, as with the two preceding accidents, the tail strike inflicted enough damage to cause the tail rotor assembly to come apart. In these cases, the resulting center of gravity shift made recovery impossible. The importance of protecting the tail rotor cannot be emphasized enough.

Indiana's Bogado selected Player of the Week
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. - Senior pitcher Mariangee Bogado (Mariara, Venezuela) led Indiana to its first Big Ten Tournament berth since 1997 this weekend, earning her the honor of USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Week for the week of May 1-7 announced today by the Amateur Softball Association. Bogado struck out 14 batters while allowing only seven hits in the series sweep over arch-rival Purdue (7-0, 5-2).
Bogado held opposing hitters to a .152 batting average and allowed only two earned runs in 13 innings of work to pick-up the win in both games.
"Everything that I have done and worked so hard to achieve has come true. I want to thank my coaches, my teammates and most especially my family for always supporting me," said Bogado. "This doesn't change anything for me going into the Big Ten tournament. I am honored to be recognized but I always go out and give it my best every time."
Bogado not only led the Hoosiers from the circle, but registered a .667 batting average in the process, including a 4-for-6 effort in the series. In game one, Bogado drew two walks and took advantage of her remaining at bats, going 2-for-2. In game two, she went 2-for-4 with two runs and a double in the 5-2 victory.
"This is a great achievement for Mariangee and her final year at IU. Mariangee symbolizes everything that IU softball stands for," said Indiana head coach Stacey Phillips. "She is a hard worker on and off the field and will continue to achieve success in everything she puts her mind to."
Bogado's outstanding effort earned the senior and her teammates a trip to the Big Ten Tournament for the first time since 1997 and also secured Indiana its first 25-plus win season in almost a decade.
This is the first-time in the five-year history of the National Player of the Week Award that a player from the University of Indiana has been selected.

Research Interests
Autistic Disorder; Child Psychiatry; Neuropsychology; Asperger Syndrome; Psychiatry and Psychology
Research Organizations
Research Summary
Our research focuses on neurobiology and treatment of autism and related disorders in individuals of all ages (infants through adults). We are interested in mechanisms (brain and genetics) as well as treatment.
Specialized Terms: Autism and related disorders; Asperger's disorder; Childhood Disintegrative Disorder (CDD); Social development; Diagnosis; Neuropsychology
Extensive Research Description
Our research has focused on understanding some aspects of the fundamental nature of autism. In particular we are attempting to understand the nature of the social difficulties (autism) that are at the heart of autism and how these relate to the seemingly paradoxical oversensitivity to the nonsocial environment (unusual sensitivities and interests, difficulties with change and novelty). Given the wide range of expression in autism and related disorders we study various groups (from babies to adults, from very cognitively impaired to very cognitively able individuals). We also employ a range of methods including eye tracking, functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging, and genetic approaches among others. Our work has shown fundamental differences in the way individuals with autism process social interaction. Using innovative experimental approaches we have now extended this work to infants and younger children using visual and auditory tasks. We have recently undertaken a major prospective study of infants at risk for autism in an attempt to better understand how the disorder is manifest early in development. A long standing interest has been in developing better guidelines to diagnosis of autism and related conditions (we were the main coordinators of the DSM-IV field trial for autism). We have also been very interested in developing new methods to screen for and diagnose autism in the first months of life.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (480 votes).
In short: Brilliant, in every way......no other comments necessary!!Date of review: October 2, 2006
In short: A really special event, challenging, scenic and well organisedIn full: This is always a special event and superbly organised. Edinburgh organisers could learn a thing or two from this one. Even the pouring rain could not dampen the spirit of this event. Date of review: October 2, 2006
In short: Challenging course, great scenery (apparently) & brilliant organisationIn full: Great course - only one major hill, the little undulations are just teasers! Disappointed not to be able to see the scenery through the murk & rain, but will have to go back to see it next time. Shame the rain kept most of the spectators away, but cycling supporters were fantastic. Best organised race I've been to & lovely friendly atmosphere before & afterwards. Great value race too - you get proper hot food afterwards plus lively band (should you have any energy left for jumping around) & the t-shirts are very nice.Date of review: October 2, 2006
In short: Great organisation. Very wet. Scenic.In full: Organisation, down to small details, was the best I have experienced. The course was undulating but the last 6 miles is downhill then flat. I found it easier than Edinburgh. Not much support along the route although a few diehards did come out in the rain which was very welcome especially in the more remote parts of the route. Marshalls were great - standing in the rain. Plenty of water and sports drinks. Date of review: October 2, 2006
In short: Wet but good funIn full: Relatively quiet race - the rain did not help. The supporters that were there were great. Extremely good organization, good food, decent goodie bag, T-shirt and medal, even a good band playing at the post-race party. Would definitely do it again.Date of review: October 1, 2006
In short: It was wet (very) , the hills at 17 -21 miles were hard but the organisation was excellent - enough drinks, food, transport etc. Rain meant lack of supporters but everyone focussed and friendly on run.Date of review: October 1, 2006

Selected Speeches
Speech Video
At the Presidential Banquet in La Moneda Presidential Palace
Santiago, Chile
20 October 2008
President Bachelet, may I begin by thanking you, for a memorable beginning to our visit. Rania and I have looked forward keenly to being here. Chile is our first destination on this, our first trip to South America. I think there could not be a better place, or a more extraordinary people, to introduce us to your region's future.
My friends,
You should know that from our side, this trip came about because of many years of interest and excitement about what your country has achieved, and how it is moving forward today. For Jordanians, like so many others around the world, Chile has a giant global presence as a leader of change.
We have seen you take a leadership role in your region. We have been awed by the political transformation that brought Chileans together, to leave the past behind. We have taken lessons from your economic success with its twin aims of economic growth and economic inclusion.
And you have shown the world about perseverance as well -- the tremendous work entailed in meeting national challenges whether these are natural disasters like the terrible rains in the south last August or global shocks, such as the recent energy and food prices, or the financial crisis coming out of the U.S.
Your experience is especially meaningful to Jordan. We too have been on a progressive path: for good governance, human rights and gender equality; for economic growth that produces opportunity and a promising future, especially for our young people; for development that makes a difference in people's lives -- from education, to health care, and more.
And we too, like Chile, have made the commitment to make the difficult decisions, face the challenges, and persevere. At home, we are moving forward with reform. In our region, we have staked our future on peace and moderation. On a global level, we have reached out across oceans to friends and partners, to build a future of opportunity and prosperity, for all sides.That deep commitment has brought our delegation to you today.
As you have recognised, Madame President, globalisation empowers developing countries -- but only when we take an active role. We must be participants, but we must be more. Only when we help shape the global economic order will we truly share in it.
That requires South-South cooperation, at every level: in bi-lateral and multilateral forums; in the economic ties between our private sectors; in cultural relationships, to increase understanding, and combat those who want to see us be divided and powerless.
There is a tremendous potential for increased cooperation between us. MERCOSUR has provided a positive first step towards that goal.
Another important area is dialogue -- especially engaging young people. I am proud that Jordan was the source of the decisive Amman Message, expressing Islam's true values to Muslims and non-Muslims worldwide. This work continues, and must continue, as long as distortions and inter-faith divisions threaten our world. Madam President, you have been a great voice for humanity, a symbol of reconciliation and hope. I hope we can work together to strengthen the bridges among peoples worldwide.
Peace is at the foundation of the world's positive future. In my region, the Arab-Israeli conflict remains a central threat -- not just to Arabs and Israelis, but to co-existence and security around the world. My friends, here too it is vital to partner for change. I know that Chile's Palestinian community has worked actively for justice and peace. And I know that Chile has had a pro-active role with both sides of the conflict. Now is the time to help the parties reach the future they both need -- a two-state settlement -- an end to conflict, with security for Israelis, and justice for Palestinians - in an independent, viable, and sovereign Palestinian state.
My friends,
In one of his great poems, the Chilean Nobel Laureate, Pablo Neruda, challenged the fences and walls that narrow our world. He asked, "We inherit limits. And why?"
We must also ask: Why limit our futures? Why not reach beyond? Why not open humanity's doors to all we have in common and all we can achieve?
Again, on behalf of the entire Jordanian delegation, Rania and I thank you all, for your wonderful welcome.

Local natives celebrate St. Joseph's Day
LADY LAKE, Fla. – Nearly 60 people from Chautauqua County gathered in the Villages of Lady Lake, Fla., to celebrate the Feast of St. Joseph. Former residents and snowbirds of the Dunkirk-Fredonia area joined to enjoy the holiday's traditional foods in commemoration of the saint who ended the terrible famine in Sicily in the Middle Ages.
A three-tiered altar dedicated to St. Joseph was blessed by Deacon Don Esposito from St. Mark's Church. The blessing was intermingled with sporadic shouts of "Viva San Guseppi!" Afterward, the first course of the meatless meal was served. This was made of olives, orange sections and fennel, representing the bitter famine of the past, the sweetness of the new crops, and the serenity of the future. Lentil soup was served next, followed by Pasta Con Sarde (pasta with sardines) and pasta with eggs. Next, the group shared vegetable fritadas, which included artichokes, spinach, cauliflower, asparagus and cordone (burdocks). The highlight of the meal was the array of desserts, which included rice pudding, pizzels, biscotti and sfinge, the Sicilian favorite.
The traditional food shared on this day represents the feast that the Sicilian people shared with their neighbors after their prayers to St. Joseph were answered. The famine ended. In that spirit, the guests at the dinner collected donations for the soup kitchens in Wildwood, Fla. and St. Theresa in Bellview, Fla.
Former Chautauqua County residents Jaye (Alaimo) and Chuck Triaga hosted the event, assisted by Rita (Speziale) and Robert Farnham. Their hosting duties were made lighter by their many friends, who contributed dishes such as fritadas, breads and desserts.
Traditionally, the meal is prepared and served by women, but many men, such as Rich Notte, Chuck Triaga, John Fedyszyn, Frank Gengo and Bill Farnham modernized the event by donning aprons and helping to serve. Especially appreciated was Domenic Floccare, a former Fredonia resident. When a search of Florida was made for cordone in vain, Floccare picked it up in Buffalo on a visit, purchasing enough cordone for 60 people and packing it with his luggage to bring back.
The Triagas and Farnhams were inspired to host the event by their fond memories of St. Joseph's Days of the past in their old neighborhoods. They wanted to share this tradition with people who had never had the chance to enjoy this day of thanks and celebration. Others in attendance hadn't visited a St. Joseph's table since the 1940s or 1950s. These guests recalled those days, spent at the homes of Lucy St. George in Fredonia, Frances Ricotta in Dunkirk and many others.
Gathering together to honor this patron saint of the family brought this group a feeling of family and a little bit of home. These former residents of Fredonia and Dunkirk celebrated not just St. Joseph and the end he brought to a crippling country-wide famine, but their fond memories of St. Joseph's Days spent years ago with family and friends.

UMES Dinner Theatre set for April 4 and 5
PRINCESS ANNE, MD - (Feb. 24, 2014) – Looking to dine on a gourmet meal while enjoying a lively show? Then be sure to get a ticket, on sale March 3, to the University of Maryland Eastern Shore's 2014 Dinner Theatre production "Motown N Mo,' Take 3."
Players from the university's drama society take to the stage for an 8 p.m. curtain time in the Richard A. Henson Center following dinner seating beginning at 6 p.m.
Written by Dr. Della Dameron-Johnson, the society's director, the play is a "continuation of the history of Motown through dialogue, song and dance." It follows "Motown N Mo'" and "Motown N Much Mo'," original plays previously performed by the group. The audience can expect favorites inspired by the likes of the Supremes, The Temptations, Gladys Knight and the Pips and Stevie Wonder. "Of course, we couldn't talk about that era without including Tina Marie and Rick James," she said.
Before the start of the show, students and faculty in the school's Hospitality and Tourism Management program (formerly Hotel and Restaurant Management) will present a gourmet buffet complete with hors d'oeuvres, dinner items and carving stations. A dessert buffet "to die for" is presented between acts.
Marlon Bouie, a UMES senior from Baltimore, will be among the experienced hospitality students overseeing things as managers working behind the scenes in the hot and cold kitchens, the bake shop and stewarding.
Bouie, who will serve in the top spot as production manager, will also be assisting Chef Ralston Whittingham with the menu selection and food ordering. Students interested in the management positions signed up and were voted on by their peers.
Bouie spent the 2013 semester as an intern with Walt Disney World resorts as a food and beverage operations cast member.
Tickets are $45 for Friday night and $50 for Saturday night. Call 410-651-6230 for tickets or for more information.
Gail Stephens, assistant director, UMES Office of Public Relations, 410-651-7580.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (1561 votes).
In short: Excellent - once they sort out access to the reunion area (and hot weather!) it'll be perfect.Date of review: May 26, 2010
In short: Great run, got my PB, wish I'd put on more suncream beforehand!In full: The good points: -Great crowd support at the end and in the villages, loved those garden hose showers- Good little goody bag at the end- I though the start was well organised, if you queued early enough for the toilets and found your start pen on time, then there was no problem.The bad points:-The mile markers were far too small, I didn't spot any between mile 12 and mile 18.-The 1 mile trek to get on the shuttle bus after was not fun for those who'd just run 26.2 miles!-It was a shame all the fun runners/relay runners started ahead of the marathon runners, having to overtake people who were aready walking at mile 2 really slowed down the start.Overall it was still a great race and I would consider running it again...Date of review: May 26, 2010
In full: A Race with great potential, but some problems need to be sorted for next year.The Marathon Start time is far too late. Moving the start time forward by 1 or even 2 hours would greatlly benefit the runners, especially on a blisteringly hot day. Also the relay runners should start behind the marathon runners. If the start time was moved forward, they would not be exposed to the heat.The shuttle bus pick up point is too far from the race finish. Walking that distance was quite tough after having run 26 miles.Please sort these issues and you have a great race for next year.Many positives:The pre race Emails. I was texted with my finishing time shortly after the race - fantastic !!The great support and showers from the locals en route - greatly appreciatedThe brilliant St Andrews Ambulance people who assisted me when I badly struggled during the last few yards of the race - Many thanks to them.And last but not least, Edinburgh iteslf - what a great city.With improvements suggest by myself and my fellow runners, this will be a great event.Date of review: May 26, 2010
In short: Marathons are supposed to be tough, but for the entry fee I expect some rewardIn full: After doing and hating London this year because of the crowds of walkers/frequent stoppers, I was really pleased to do a marathon where I could just run without anything challenging me but myself. The heat was to be expected but better foresight from the organisers could have meant we weren't out in it at midday. A marathon should start at at 8am or earlier if the sun is out before 6am.The course was spectacular for the first 8 or so miles then got a bit unmotivating.The spectators were genuine, kind and generous. Those with hoses deserve medals as well.The organisation was unimpressive. The queues for the toilets at the start were ridiculously long and unlike London there was noone there to replace toilet paper and keep things in order. The starting pens weren't very clear. I kept water with me after each water station. If I hadn't I don't know if I'd have thought there were enough water stations in the last 13 miles. I didn't mind the mats along the racecourse but I did mind having to walk past the reunion area to get my bag. Luckily we got a public bus back which wasn't a hassle. In all I PB'd and had a much better time than London despite the heat. I just hope the organisers can take everyone's comments on board and make this an all round great marathon.Date of review: May 26, 2010
In short: Come on...it was alright really! In full: It's quite hard to be negative about something that was such a worthwhile experience as my first every marathon! The heat couldn't be helped, it's like that most years I believe? I preferred the flats costal towns to the hills of Edinbrugh City Centre and the there was plenty of support, water and (yuk yuk) lucozade. Admittedly, the organisation at the end was a quite lax, one of my supporters heard a staff member say into his walky talky that he had lost control of the crowd. How can you lose control of a crowd that can only just walk a few steps, really slowly and generally in the one direction! The shuttle buses were terrible, the less said the better about those. Overall, I had a great day - like I said my first marathon and I got 4hrs 19mins, which I am very proud (and quite overwhelmed) with! I don't know if I'll ever manage another event of this magnitude so this particular run will always be special for me! Date of review: May 26, 2010
In short: Great race, crowd support first classIn full: An excellent race from start to finish, the start went off exactly on time, officials were friendly and encouraging. The support along the course was amazing, the people turned out in their thousands to support the runners which was much appreciated because of the soaring temperatures. The course included a lot of down hill slopes which battered my thighs and the heat was a challenge for all but the grandstand finish was amazing. Thanks to all the organisers , officials and the wonderful people of Edingburgh for a great day. I suppose there will be some complaints about the walk back to the shuttle buses which was a very long way after running a marathon but I took this as an opportunity to keep my legs moving as a cool down.Date of review: May 26, 2010
In short: First Marathon - Great FeelingIn full: This was my first timed marathon/event and thought it was brilliant. The atmosphere was excellent both due the organisation and spectators alike. The mile markers could have been bigger but that's the only negative thing I can think off. So impreesed was my girlfriend at the event that she now plans to run a marathon and she's never ran more than 5km on a treadmill! Great race/run.Date of review: May 26, 2010
In short: 1st Marathon since 1973, just glad to get round in one pieceIn full: Good start, organisers cannot predict the weather but plenty of water and lashings of Lucazade around the course ( how things have changed for the better ).Pity about the post race organisation, after 26.2miles in that heat I did not care to walk so far for the baggage and bus back. That is my only complaint, get this right and you are on to a winning event.Date of review: May 26, 2010
In full: As a First Timer found the Downhill & Flat very welcoming after training in the undulating Yorkshire, so glad the course was along the coast rather than up and down the city streets. A more scenic option might have been the Royal Yacht which would have reduced the course's sea bourne length. My grumble was the transport both to the start, and from the finish which became long and almost fruitless (visions of walking to the City Centre) and difficulty getting into the Reunion area (struggling though what felt like battlements!. But grumbles aside as a first marathon I really enjoyed the day and I hope to have sweated out all the Lucozade Sport by Saturday.Date of review: May 26, 2010
In full: Difficult to make comments which seem negative as we had a great weekend returning to our home and being cheered on by our friends. However I felt sad for people who may have read the Runners World top 10 marathons article which described the 'scenic seaside villages' that you run through after leaving Edinburgh. Sorry but Cockenzie power station, Prestonpans and Seton Sands are not scenic. There were plenty of friendly locals who helped out with hoses but if you'd come a fair distance you might have expected more spectacular scenery. Tourists will flock to Edinburgh during a marathon and there is so much potential in the wonderful city so why is it not being taken advantage of. I would do it again if I could run through the historic streets. Thanks to the piper who played us off near the start. A pipe band at the finish line would have been uplifting too.

Good day for the Big10. Only blemish Iowa going down to WF 76-73. Minnesota went dead Monday in the 2nd half blowing a 10 Pt. lead or this thing would be lopsided.
Big 10 Wins
OSU > Fl. State
Illinois > UNC
Northwestern > Ga. Tech
Michigan > Clemson
ACC Wins
Virginia > Minnesota
WF > Iowa
Mich. St. @ Duke
Purdue @ Va. Tech
Indiana @ Boston College
NC State @ Wisconsin
Maryland @ Penn State
ACC needs to go 4-1 tomorrow to win this thing. Purdue and Wisky seem to be in good matchups. Neither PSU or Indiana have played anyone so I can't say their records are legit at this point. Most likely not.


text: For the three years that I've been playing competitive fantasy baseball, I've had nothing but success. My first year playing in 2008, I rode first place pretty much all year long in a competitive 14-team league and then lost in the finals against the 6th seed team, which was the last seed. He had Mike Jacobs and Jorge Cantu who both hit grand slams that week which really killed me. Anyway, for a first timer in 08, making the championship game was an accomplishment in itself. The next year in 2009, I made the playoffs as the 3 seed in a competitive, 14-teamer and won the championship. I went on to repeat in 2010 and won the gold cup again. (more…)

Rock Creek Tavern
Jon Koonce & One More Mile
9 p.m.
All ages until 10 p.m.
Jon Koonce & One More Mile
Jon Koonce is a Northwest original. This singer-songwriter and guitarist (not to mention the founder of Johnny and the Distractions) fronts his most recent incarnation -- One More Mile -- as he always has: romping, stomping, twanging and raging through tales of love, lust, trailer parks, truck stops, demons and dogs. Koonce introduces lap steel, humor and blues harp into a vintage live and loud production. Twenty five years of tearin' it up in hootch parlors has left a mark of realism.
In One More Mile, Jon Koonce is joined by ensemble of talented musicians including Albert Reda on keys, guitar and vocals, Larue Todd on bass and vocals and Bryce Shelton on the drums.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Lovely courseIn full: Really enjoyed this half marathon. A lovely road half. Small field of about 100 but not widely advertised. Marshals brilliant welcoming and supportive water every 3 miles a medal and a sausage butty at the end with a brew how great is that? Will defo do it again Date of review: April 17, 2016
In short: Another great raceIn full: 4th time I've done this now and yet again enjoyed it! Had been worried with it being moved to June that it would be too warm but the wind kept the heat down. Great marshals feed stations and organisation still one of my faves thanks Phil and team! Date of review: June 6, 2015
In short: great way to end the yearIn full: Great race with proceeds going to designated charity. Very basic take your own supplies type run. Well organised though and I loved that you could count down your laps. All the fellow runners very friendly all giving encouragement it was uplifting. Will defo do this again Date of review: January 1, 2015
In short: yep I was impressedIn full: Initially I was a bit reluctant as this is a bit more than I would usually want to pay for a 10k but I can see that none of that entry fee is wasted and it is all put to gooduse. From the start the buses bringing us both to and from the car park were like clockwork. Good venue at school meant plenty of room for everyone to shelter whilst waiting for the start. Plenty of toilets im guessing those that struggled with the numbers hadnt looked for alternatives as I always go last minute and had no probs 3 people ahead of me in the queue! Nice simple route along the sea front with brilliant bands and good support considering the weather lovely t shirt and medal chip timing with text message following the finish all in all a brilliant race and I would say worth the money. Plus I got a pb thanks for the wind blowing me back :)Date of review: February 10, 2014
In short: A feeling of accomplishment is a definiteIn full: Well organised 5 day event great marshalls good comeraderie amongst runners it is a hell of a hill with certain parts of the lap that could make a saint swear each tough bit short and sweet followed by an easier bit to make it doable 40 times in 5 days. Great daily medals and my first ever trophy! My second event with hill runner who also do bolton hill marathon another brill event. Swore id never do it again but a week later hmmmmmDate of review: December 1, 2013
In short: big improvementIn full: i have to say i only did this again to see if the organisers kept their promises after last years debacle. Parking was easy although paying £9 to park is a bit steep although being so close to race village meant I didnt have to bother with baggage tent as i kept it all in my car. Good enough course and definitely good for pb's as I knocked 38 mins off my last time! The support from the people of manchester was amazing as good as London easily they really made you feel great. Id definitely do it again in a few years time although it would be nice to incorporate both football clubs and some city centre into it but that may just complicate things re organisationDate of review: April 29, 2013
In short: amazing!In full: Really tough course but the scenery fantastic! The organisation was brilliant a lot of time and effort went into making this a success! Great communication from Phil organising a recce of part of the route beforehand great marshalls and water stations what a team! Definitely a must do for all abilities a very generous cut off time without a doubt the best marathon I've done with a sense of achievement at the endDate of review: March 11, 2013
In short: Well impressedIn full: Great route great marshalls great hotpot and great goody bag what more can I say. Route is on roads that aren't closed but its quiet enough an area for that not to be a prob. Good communication from the team prior to race , enough wart we stations with rubbish bags after to throw the used bottles in although as usual not everyone complies only thing I'd suggest is just a couple more portaloos Date of review: January 20, 2013
In short: great run just id had more miles in my legs before doing it few more hill reps required me thinksIn full: what a lovely run may even try doing this alone as training need to stop myself walking up the steep bits thought the wind on the way down was a bit unfair thats supposed to be the easy bit ;) Date of review: December 9, 2012
In short: WowIn full: Loved it! Although be prepared the coach journey to the start may be longer than you think! Was starting to amicable thinking I'd got on a marathon coach ! Lovely unique course I personally loved the wind kept me cool going through that thigh high water I was ruining how easy it would feel when I got out out not so ha ha talk about sapped energy but certainly a race to do in your life time Date of review: August 15, 2012

2017 EMail Issues - Post Upgrade 23/01/17Hi, Following a successful upgrade of our old code; being out of support we had to upgrade, we've encountered an unforeseen in preview and testing issue with our production email. This means that email isn't sending as well as it should. You might ask for the email and we might send it, it also might get blocked by your ISP. Btinternet, AOL and Yahoo are well known for blocking. We're working on it and I hope to have an solution working shortly. Out of all that could of gone wrong, this isn't the worst case As to other issues and 'change' as I said, it's forced upon us. To not change is irresponsible. More updates to follow once we're past our initial snag list. There's only one working on it though; me, so please be patient, read the support topics, spend a few minutes, it's not that different once you get over the shock. Cheers, Colin Snag List Topic >>
