Ripoff Report
dealer force, FLNationwide USA
dealer force, FL currently with company. has not PAID ME, past MONTH. new port richey Florida
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I am currently a employer , with this company. I've stuck it thru with em for three months. Since then, I haven't been paid by them in three weeks. There is Criss, Don, John King, and Mike. All I have spoken to. Only time I am paid is when I threaten them to call my lawyer.
I need to work and these guys gave screwed me several times too much. Granted when I WAS PAID, I was paid quite well. I am still EAGER to know if this company is worth my time as I have not seen updates about them in two years. I've spoken to current and ex employees and have not heard anything. I would love people to email me and let me know. I'm very UPSET to see a company is able to do this and still be in business as well.

#1 UPDATE Employee
So Glad I found your Rip Off Report
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, May 21, 2014POSTED: Wednesday, May 21, 2014
I am so happy to have found your rip off report. I too am an employee (or was) as I am missing pay for 3 weeks of work and they will not respond to my emails and I just called them again today and the number says it is not a working number. Your report prompted me to stop working, in case it was true that I was not going to get any more pay.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#2 Author of original report
SUBMITTED: Friday, May 16, 2014POSTED: Friday, May 16, 2014
Anyone who is working with this company needs to know a few FACTS I discovered doing RESEARCH. If you call the DOL in Tampa, FL, they will advise you that they cannot offer to help you, as when you first sign on with the company,you sign a Independent Contractor. As for that, you cannot have DOL help you in insisting to get your pay for what is owed to you from this company. You are forced to sue the company through claims court.
Next I would love to let people out there who think this company is a good way to work from home, that they have other different ALIAS companies out there!! From Dealer Force, Outsourced BDC, to a few other alias names they have used. All the same, they are run by Angelique Hofacre, who is supposedly the CEO, and the President is Don Queen, who AKA John King. There is different phone numbers they go by, to different names and alias as well.
For anyone who works for this company, i highly urge to leave the company because they will NEVER pay you no matter how many hours or effort you put into the company. FBI is involved and they are aware what they are doing at this time.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Four Local Blogs About Oregon Jobs and the Economy
I'm always on the hunt for locally written blogs that can help people find rewarding, interesting work in Oregon. Here are four blogs I follow that provide good information about job-hunting, careers, or our state's economy:
1) Career Beavers. You don't have to be a student or graduate of Oregon State University to tap into the online resources offered by its Career Services Office. The Career Beavers blog is especially valuable. Recent posts include advice on how to talk about politics at the office, make the most of career fairs, and land a job outside your academic major. It also includes a weekly listing of an open job or internship.
2) University of Oregon Career Center. Aimed at students and alumni, this blog for students, alumni and employers offers good advice for anybody looking for work or managing a career.
You'll also find information about networking events in Portland, Eugene, and elsewhere in Oregon.
3) Oregon Employment blog. Like numbers? You'll find lots of them in the frequent posts published by the Research Division of the Oregon Employment Department. In addition to articles on its own agency reports, the site includes items about news stories and other publications about the state's workplaces.
4) Oregon Office of Economic Analysis. Want to learn more about Oregon's economy and which sectors are growing or shrinking? This blog by state economists reports on government forecasts about Oregon's economy, revenue, and population.
What Oregon blogs about job-hunting, careers or our economy do you like? Are there bloggers writing from Oregon about these topics that you follow?

It's here...
The long running rumours that O2 was set to lose its iPhone exclusivity in the UK have turned out to be true after Orange finally announced today it will also soon sell the highest of all high profile handsets.
In a company statement it declared:
"Orange UK and Apple have reached an agreement to bring iPhone 3G and 3GS to Orange UK customers later this year. Orange globally now offers iPhone in 28 countries and territories. Orange, which has the largest 3G network covering more people in the UK than any other operator, will sell iPhone in all Orange direct channels including Orange shops, the Orange webshop and Orange telesales channels, as well as selected high street partners. A pre-registration site for customers to log their interest has already been launched at www.orange.co.uk/iPhone. More information on pricing, tariffs and availability dates will be released in due course."
By contrast, O2 has responded saying:
"We're proud that we've been able to offer an exclusive iPhone deal to our 20 million customers for the last two years. We always knew that iPhone exclusivity was for a limited period of time, but our relationship with Apple continues and will be an ongoing success. We have over 1million iPhone customers and they remain very important to us. We aim to offer our customers the best devices on the market, including becoming the home of Smartphones and we are really pleased to now add another device in the Palm Pre. We also offer award-winning customer service and benefits, which is why more people choose O2 than any other network in the UK."
I'd agree with the customer service part, but judging by the Twitter world's reaction to the news it seems there isn't much love out there for O2 currently. It may be the UK's largest network, but it seems to have achieved this via endless handset exclusives rather than through the quality and spread of its network service which has already been slammed by Ofcom. The O2 Data network has also been particularly unreliable in recent months and who could forget reader reaction to the extortionate O2 iPhone 3GS tariffs.
So let's hope competition and consequently choice brings a better service to iPhone users nationwide. With the Orange and T-Mobile merger announced earlier this month, it looks like a new heavyweight is in town...

State lawmakers will meet Tuesday to begin discussing the scope of a disaster relief package that they could soon take up in a special session.
House and Senate GOP leaders told their members via an email today that the session is now tentatively set for Friday, Aug. 24. However, DFL Gov. Mark Dayton has not yet made that call.
Legislators are scheduled to get an update Tuesday from state officials on the extent of the government response so far in the 13 affected counties. They'll also revisit a legislative auditor's report from earlier this year that evaluated past recovery efforts.
Sen. Joe Gimse, R-Willmar, the transportation committee chair and designated relief bill author, said the meeting is an important first step in the process.
"I don't know that we'll have a good idea what the bill will look like, but we'll have a good idea of what the amounts will be and what the damage assessments will be," Gimse said.
Gimse said legislators will have to decide whether to use bonds to cover the relief costs or tap existing state funds.
Democrats are ready to help. House Minority Leader Paul Thissen, DFL-Minneapolis, said he expects a bipartisan effort to address the needs of affected communities.
"People are going to be focused very directly on the task at hand, which is making sure the Legislature does its part in helping out these families that were affected by the floods," Thissen said. "I don't get any indication from talking to Republicans in leadership or otherwise — or Democrats — that there's going to be a whole lot of politics in this."

In response to his party's caucus shrinking to its lowest number in over 80 year, Rep. Steve Israel (D-NY, outgoing Congressional Campaign Chair) revealed a tone-deafness that, if shared by the rest of his caucus, could lead to even further shrinking.
Israel parroted the usual line we hear on the left these days – that the winning Republicans should "come into the middle" and work with Democrats (NRO – The Corner), never mind that if voters had wanted Congress to be more amenable to Democrats' wishes, they would have elected more actual Democrats.
Where Israel really goes off the rails is his insistence that the lame-duck Congress short-circuit the election (which at least in Louisiana is still ongoing) on "immigration reform" (same link):
Israel brought up corporate tax changes and, pointedly, immigration reform as issues on which the two parties can compromise.
"There really shouldn't be any paralysis on this," he said, noting that a Senate immigration bill has passed. "Let's just pass it in the House," he urged.
Let's unpack this ass-hattery slowly.
First of all, there are good reasons why someone on either side of the argument on illegal immigration would have serious problems with the Senate's immigration bill, chief among them the horrendous economic assumptions that "justify" it. More to the point, a lame-duck session of Congress passing that bill would be a complete insult to the voters.
Lest we forget, John Boehner's refusal to bring up the Senate immigration bill for a vote was one of the chief complaints thrown at him by the president, Senate Democrats, and just about everyone to the left of center in America. They hoped voters would send Boehner a message. Instead, voters sent him reinforcements.
Mitch McConnell was one of the 32 Senators who opposed the bill. Voters sent him reinforcements, too – eight so far, with perhaps one more coming in Louisiana.
Finally, of the 68 Senators who voted in favor of S.744, 5 Democrats lost their seats to Republicans (with one more, Mary Landrieu, likely to suffer the same fate), 4 have retired (3 of them Democrats to be replaced by Republicans), and one – Marco Rubio – has repudiated his vote. Even assuming no one else would vote differently (highly unlikely, especially given that McConnell will be more accommodating of amendments as Majority Leader), the bill could easily fail a cloture vote in the 2015 Senate. Whatever the voters of 2014 wanted, it sure wasn't the Senate's immigration bill.
Then again, Israel is trying to close his eyes to the voters anyway (same link again):
"In this election, one-third of voters chose a Democrat or Republican," Israel said. "The other two-thirds just want us to get things done."
Um…with all due respect, Steve, you don't know what the other two-thirds want because they didn't bother to vote.
If Israel (and the president) are any indication, the Democrats have decided that the non-voter is their perfect blank slate, upon which they can force any assumption and in whose they can put whatever words they like. That is a surefire recipe for a Republican president the next time actual voters get their say.

Treasury Yields Steady after Data
Treasury Yields Steady after Data
From Standard & Poor's Equity ResearchAction Economics: Yields steadied near session lows mid-morning Wednesday after the business inventory report came in near expectations and didn't really add any color to the earlier large mood swing on Treasuries. The firm early round of retail sales and import price data had shoved yields to trend highs, only to be knocked down by good central bank buying on the 30-year and reports of hedge fund troubles and one investment bank.
The 10-year yield topped out near 5.32% and subsequently slumped to 5.22% before finding its footing again.
Up next are the EIA energy inventory report and the Fed's Beige Book. Note, the Treasury FX report did not name China as a manipulator, though still pushing for reforms.

On my first day of practice ownership, I realized my lone dental assistant had never assisted at the chair; the former assistant (the one who retired with the previous doctor) was actually the main chairside assistant. Welcome to human resources.
On my second night of owning a dental practice, my hygienist left a message for me on my answering machine: "Hi, Dr. Knowles. I don't think this is going to work out. I am quitting." Welcome to being the boss.
On the third day of owning my practice, the sewer backed up and the basement started to flood while I was seeing patients. Apparently the septic tank was overdue for being pumped out. Welcome to owning a building.
On Friday it was payday, and my team expected their checks. The problem: I had never completed a payroll in my life. Welcome to being a small business owner.
I needed a plan, and I needed a plan fast. Who was I kidding? There was no time for a plan. I was in complete survival mode. As one can tell, the early stages of owning my business were not too pretty. But, neither was dental school. If there was one really good thing that dental school did, it enhanced my ability to survive under pressure in uncharted waters. I was back in the boat again, looking desperately for dry land. Only this time, it was my turn to steer the ship and to make the rules that I would live and die by. I was scared and excited at the same time.
Rule No. 1: Develop a plan for long-term stability so that future weeks would never be like my first week in practice.
Rule No. 2: Make time to read every book and manual I could about business management and leadership development (an obvious weak area in the dental school curriculum).
Rule No. 3: Learn to laugh and/or cry more. Both are cathartic.
Rule No. 4: Establish an immediate support network including the following:
- A talented accountant who (preferably) has experience working with dentists
- An attorney familiar with small business law and employment law
- Fellow trustworthy dentists (often classmates, local dental society members, or study club members)
- Local and state dental association acquaintances.
Rule No. 5: Explain to family members that I would need more support, leeway, time, and help than initially anticipated; enlisting them in any way that may assist getting through the survival phase.
It was amidst the chaos experienced early on in my practice that a heavy realization came over me: either my practice was going to control my life, or, I was going to control my practice and life. I had a choice.
On one side, there was the debt with the constant need to make money to pay the office bills and the staff. There was a desire to make the practice exactly the way I envisioned it while gutting my way through dental school. There was the desire to show the patients that I was just as good as their previous dentist. On the other side, our home was mortgaged, and my husband (who had just co-signed his life away) and I were often tired, in need of rest, good food, and time together. Oh yes, our 2 children also needed their "mom time." In addition, there were neighbors to meet, charities to support, family events, household organizing, and schedules to arrange. Who, or what, would get the needed attention? And, how much, and when?
When we stop being intentional with regard to our choices, our practices can begin to take over our lives. We unintentionally begin to live by the fire fighter approach: put out fires, save as many lives as possible, and just hope for the best. This lifestyle is exhausting!
Being intentional is not only effective, it can be life saving. I really mean it! Too many dentists burn out early, have health problems, or simply begrudge going to work every day; that is no way to live. One of my early decisions was to have evening hours once a week to accommodate our patients' commuter lifestyles. Instead of working every day from 9:30 am to 6:30 pm, we opened at 7:00 am on certain days in an effort to accommodate some of our patients before they went to work. Patients loved it! I hated it. I began to dread the long evening hours day. I did not mind the early morning day because I am an early riser, but my kids did not like leaving early one bit. We had already established a morning routine that included some time for love and comfort. This was missing on the days that we started at 7:00 am.
The pressure to make money and pay back loans was intense, so I did what I thought would help the practice thrive and grow. But, when I reflected, I realized I needed to be more intentional with my choices. I needed a compromise. I decided to change the evening hours to end at 5:30 pm, and opted to change the 7:00 am to a 7:30 am start. With these small adjustments, my quality of life improved, and the practice still produced the same amount of money. Oddly enough, this equation held true every time I changed my hours. We, as a team, became more efficient. Our systems became more organized, and we worked fewer hours, yet made the same, if not more, money.
Our scheduling became more intentional, too. Block scheduling became our norm after years of fighting this notion. In previous practices, the patients ruled because we would bend over backwards to accommodate their schedules. We would see back-to-back-to-back pediatric patients because it was the prime after-school time. We would work in emergencies almost anywhere to show that we were open and accepting of new patients.
Certainly I am no dummy with regards to customer service and I do recognize the need to provide ample opportunities for patients. But, there must be an intentional balance in this concept. The dentist must be accommodated, too, as a quality of life factor. The more tired I became with back-to-back pediatric patients, the more irritable I became, and the less satisfying I became to others. A "get 'er done" mentality would creep in, rather than a mentality of care and concern. This notion of diminishing returns on investment became relevant in a number of ways. Put simply, I am no good when I am no good.
Quantifying this for a dentist is hard to derive, and it is different for everyone, and it can change. In the beginning, when I was in survival mode, I would sacrifice my soul to avoid bankruptcy. This novice way of thinking was real, and I was able to endure more procedures and longer hours, but only for the short term. My soul caught up with me. And I would have meltdown moments where I would lash out at my staff, my family, or myself. I was too busy. Every dentist has a breaking point and knows when that moment arrives. You simply have to recognize it when it happens (or even better, before it arrives), and change some things before you end up resenting your work, your family, or your office team. This takes awareness and intentional planning to change.
So be aware: your abilities to fulfill your desires and dreams will change (you will not always be in debt) and, with those changes, you will likely want to change how you practice. If you ignore your desires, your practice will own you, and your quality of life will diminish. Trust that you can have both a fully functional business mind and emotional mind and know that making intentional changes to balance your life and practice can be a good thing. The better we are, the better they are.
Disclosure: Dr. Knowles reports no disclosures.

Date of Stay: March, 2014
This is a newer campground and could be really nice with easy access to I-95, Savannah, and Beaufort. Negatives: Going into and coming out of the campground is very narrow with a concrete median. Only main roads are paved with interior roads and sites just loose dirt with NO gravel. If it rains, you would have serious problems. There are no curb cutouts, so when exiting every site you go over a curb. The first site we were take to had electrical hookup in back and water and sewer way up front. The site was so sloped on both the front and back ends, it was impossible to level. It appeared that little attention was given to leveling any of the sites. I would be surprised if the developers were RVers. They certainly stopped short when planning and developing this park.
Date of Stay: February, 2014
This is a very nice campground. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Roads and sites are all paved and good sized. We noticed a few sites were adjacent to the main roads of the park and offered little privacy. Overall, a very nice park and we would stay here again.
Date of Stay: February, 2014
We chose this campground for its proximity to St. Augustine, easy access to I-95, and from park reviews since it appeared to be one of the better campgrounds in the area. The site we were assigned was a level, pull-through. Sites and roads were gravel and dirt. The problems began when it rained. There was so much water around our motorhome that the electrical cord was completely under water. Drainage was so poor that the campground used a tractor to cut gullies along roadways to channel water, making it very difficult for entering or exiting sites. There were deep ditches on the road exiting from the read of the park that were also designed to channel water which were difficult to navigate. I would definitely NOT recommend staying here when it rains.

So, it is your assertion, I take it, that no longer having the ability to utilize one of the most expensive parcels of land in the county, any prospective distribution center would not look at slightly off-the-interstate properties that would way cheaper and absolutely suitable to their needs but would flee the county in search of other unnecessarily expensive locations.<quoted text>
I guess that means no major distribution center providing hundreds of real jobs.
I see.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
As dusk falls in Kabul, the streets fill with a choking gray smoke, despite the city's near-complete lack of industry. Nearly every family in this capital of one million is cooking its evening meal and trying to keep the bitter winter chill at bay. But in a partially destroyed city where most homes lack electricity, the only fuel available is wood, cut from the surrounding hillsides and trucked into Kabul and other cities. The interiors of the dilapidated concrete homes -- and, presumably the lungs of inhabitants -- are covered with soot.
Amid the ongoing US-led campaign against the Taliban and Al Qaeda, little has been said about Afghanistan's environment. That is a critical oversight, because the landlocked country of 25 million is facing a crippling environmental disaster, one greatly exacerbated by 23 years of war. At this point, another round of civil war could wipe out the country's forests as well as several endangered species.
"Losses of natural resources are beyond estimation," says Abdul Wajid Adil, of the Peshawar, Pakistan-based Society for Afghanistan's Viable Environment (SAVE). "Damage to the environment is second only to human loss."
A four-year drought has compounded the infrastructural damage caused by fighting, emptying rivers and irrigation canals. With the recently installed government of President Hamid Karzai still exerting only very limited central authority, the hunting of endangered species and widespread smuggling of rare animals that flourished during the chaos of fighting continues unabated. As for the trees, "after very few years the forest will all be gone," says Adil. In their place, the nearly barren land is seeded with mines and unexploded bombs.
Deforestation is perhaps the most serious environmental problem facing Afghanistan. With many powerplants and electrical lines destroyed, impoverished Afghans have few energy options. Millions of daily cooking fires are devouring the last vestige of the forests that once covered millions of acres of their country.
Environmental organizations recommend that 15 percent of a country be forested to prevent topsoil erosion and sustain air quality. "In Afghanistan, between 1 and 2 percent of the land is forested," estimates Mohammed Mujib Khan, the head of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature's office in Sarhad, Pakistan. "This represents a 33 percent decrease from 1979."
In addition to the local demand, there is a large timber mafia that smuggles wood out of the country. One can stand at the border and watch trucks piled high with logs as they cross into Chaman and Peshawar, small cities in Pakistan. In Afghanistan, where the average income is $280 a year, the cutting of trees is a lucrative business.

As the trees are cut, the rich topsoil, previously anchored by roots, is blown away on the wind, or is washed by the rains into nearby tributaries. Crops become stunted, and agricultural production -- already damaged by the tendency of refugees to migrate to cities -- falls further. This phenomenon is advanced in countries such as Haiti, a nation that once exported large quantities of food to Europe. Today Haiti, deforested and its topsoil gone, imports rice to feed its own people. No one knows how much arable land has been lost in Afghanistan in recent years, but experts warn that if current trends continue, Afghanistan is on its way to a similar fate.
And there is fear as well that the returning refugees -- of which there are over three million in neighboring Pakistan, Iran and other countries -- will exacerbate the environmental crisis. Rather than return to bombed-out villages and land-mined fields, many refugees will likely converge upon Kabul or other large cities in Afghanistan. Once there, they will place extraordinary demands on a fragile infrastructure, adding to the air pollution and worsening the sanitation crisis in a country where open sewers are the norm. No recent air pollution studies have been conducted in Afghanistan's cities. Yet to this journalist's eye, Kabul's air quality appears to be on par with that of Mexico City, which has one of the highest levels of air pollution in the world.
Outside the eastern city of Jalalabad, there is an army base, heavily bombed by the Americans. Craters 40 feet deep mark the spot where buildings once stood. Nearby, tanks are blown to pieces, or lie upside down as if some oversize child had cast them about. Strewn about the area are unexploded cluster bombs, each capable of destroying a large truck -- hazards that will linger long after the American campaign ends. Those bombs are on top of the estimated 10 million landmines left over from the civil war, which kill or wound an average of at least three people each day.
Some environmentalists, searching for a silver lining among the ruins, are hoping that the landmines and dormant bombs will indirectly help protect some of Afghanistan's wildlife -- even though they also pose a threat. "Landmines tend to keep people out of areas," says Dr. Joshua Ginsberg, Asia Director of the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). "That can be good for animals."
Ginsberg is sure that the country's legendary Caspian tigers have completely disappeared, but he still has hopes that environmentalists will find traces of bears, Marco Polo sheep, various rare birds, and endangered snow leopards, of which there are thought to be fewer than 100 in Afghanistan. All of these animals have been hunted for food or profit by refugees and unemployed villagers during years of warfare. Snow leopard pelts, for instance, can fetch thousands of dollars on the black market.
It is probably too late for the endangered Siberian crane, which once followed a centuries-old migratory route through southeastern Afghanistan. In 1978, the flock in Afghanistan numbered 70. Today it is down to one pair with a chick, according to SAVE.
The Taliban's hostility towards all things Western forced dozens of non-governmental organizations out of Afghanistan during the 1990s. In their absence, the Taliban did virtually nothing to halt environmental damage.

International organizations like the WCS, the UN's Environment Program as well as local outfits like SAVE, are trying to get back in to the country to begin work on environmental reconstruction, but their mission, of course, requires a certain degree of stability. This is a dubious prospect in Afghanistan, where rival warlords continue to battle each other -- and occasionally the forces of the Karzai government -- even as the US presses its assault on the last Taliban strongholds.
Despite the danger, Ginsberg says simply, "We have to get in there soon and start working. We can not wait for the right government to, because if we wait, there will be nothing left to save."

'Real Madrid Resort Island' is a $1 billion dollar venture with the RAK Marjan Island Football Investment Fund and the government of the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, developed under the club's brand.
No further financial details were given.
A presentation at the Bernabeu on Thursday showed plans for sports facilities, a marina, luxury hotels and villas, an amusement park, a club museum and a 10,000-seat stadium with one side open to the sea.
"It is a decisive and strategic step that will strengthen our institution in the Middle East and Asia," said Real president Florentino Perez.
The 430,000-square metre leisure facility is expected to attract around one million visitors in 2015.
Real said the artificial island's location put it equidistant between Europe and the Far East, adding that more than half of their estimated 300 million followers were based in Asia.

Fewer Israeli civilians died in Palestinian attacks in 2006 than in any year since the Palestinian uprising began in 2000.

Second sight
By Patty Kruszewski, Citizen Managing Editor 06/17/04
This month's Virginia Dare MS 150 bike tour wound through some of Virginia's most scenic and historic countryside: along the banks of the James River, past stately colonial plantations, down to Williamsburg and back to Richmond.
A.C. Roane may not have been able to see it — but he could appreciate it just the same.
Roane's view of the surroundings on his two-day charity ride was limited primarily to the blurry shapes and swatches of color that indicated the location of his cycling friends — a group known as the "Chain Gang" — on the road ahead of him.
For almost three decades, beginning shortly after Roane's graduation from Virginia Tech, the hereditary disease retinitis pigmentosa (RP) has been stealing his sight. Today he is 50 and long ago quit driving a car. He views the world through a tunnel of fog that will only shrink as the disease progresses.
As if RP wasn't enough to cope with, Roane also suffered a stroke in 1997 — at the age of 43.
"It was just a fluke thing," he says. "Other than the RP, I was always healthy as a horse. I had low blood pressure, and no clue anything was wrong."
The day of the stroke, Roane was upstairs in his bedroom preparing to take his daughter to a piano lesson, when the room started spinning violently. He was able to call to his daughter for help, and at the hospital learned that he had an extreme narrowing of the arteries at the back of his head.
Fortunately, the stoke damage was in a relatively unimportant, "forgiving" part of the brain that controls equilibrium, and within a year he had fully recovered. But the experience left its mark.
"I've always felt that life was really fragile," says Roane, "but when this happened it really drove it home.
"It was like someone flipped a switch and the whole world turned upside down."
So what, you might ask, is Roane doing on a two-day bike ride — and raising money for multiple sclerosis?
On the one-year anniversary of his stroke, Roane says, he felt the need to celebrate his recovery and challenge himself at the same time. He signed up for the Virginia Dare MS bike ride without knowing a single other participant or knowing anyone with MS (his sister-in-law has since been diagnosed). He simply enjoyed riding bikes, and had never gone a long distance.
"I wanted to do something to signify I was totally back," he said.
The 'chain gang' is born
Although he had trained and felt physically fit, Roane began that first tour in 1998 with no small amount of trepidation.
"It's a big group doing the ride, but it gets spread out over 75 miles [a day's leg]," he observes. Roane has particular difficulty seeing his way on back roads with no center lines or side lines, and in transitions from sunlight to shadow. "I was afraid I would miss one of the [marker] arrows," he chuckles, "and ride off into the sunset!"
Coming out of the first rest stop, however, he heard the familiar voice of neighbor Gordon Fox.
"Riding with anyone?" asked Fox, who was accompanied by a friend – and with that was born the "Chain Gang."
For seven years now, Roane has ridden with the group through everything from torrential downpours to terrific heat – not to mention an obstacle course of hazards from potholes and dogs to gravel, glass and railroad tracks. All such obstacles are relayed to him verbally, and he usually manages to average about 17 mph over the two-day ride.
The camaraderie of riding with a group, Roane observes, is wonderful; but equally important is the feeling of accomplishment the ride gives him.
"With what I have, you need to step and out and stretch yourself a bit," he says. "I've found that when you challenge yourself to do things, it gives you confidence. If you don't stretch yourself, your world starts to get smaller and smaller."
Although Roane gave up working in the insurance business years ago, he continues to thrive in his role of stay-home dad to daughters Natalie, a new J.R.Tucker H.S. grad, and Anne Carey, a rising freshman at Deep Run H.S.
He goes snow skiing and water skiing and ran the Ukrop's 10K with his daughter in March. In the familiar environment of his Wellesley home, he gardens and often does the cooking for the girls (who particularly favor his spaghetti) and his wife Brenda.
He can be so proficient at these tasks, in fact, that a newcomer to the scene would never guess he has limited sight. But in unfamiliar surroundings his limitations become "painfully obvious," says Roane — who adds that anyone who stumbles or says "excuse me" to inanimate objects as often as he does can't help but develop the ability to laugh at himself.
'A screeching halt'
His only bike-riding mishap had nothing to do with his lack of vision, either. In that race, two blocks from the finish line, Roane's bike shoes got hung up in the pedals and he broke his wrist in the resulting fall.
Another freak "off-bike" accident on the way to a tour left riders unscathed, but cost Roane and his group their cycles. As the carload of bikers approached Fredericksburg on I-95, the straps of the bike rack gave way and the entire contents crashed to the pavement in a tangle.
"We brought I-95 to a screeching halt," laughs Roane. "Those bikes looked like pretzels!" Although it ruined the ride for that weekend, he says with a shrug, the insurance paid for a new bike that he loves: a titanium model weighing a mere 17 pounds.
With a disease as progressive as his, Roane cherishes each year that he can continue to ride in the Virginia Dare, and holds out hope that researchers will find a way to arrest RP.
He never hesitates to participate in studies of the disease, such as the program that required him to make multiple trips to Johns Hopkins University in Maryland. Who knows? Given the right breakthrough, he might someday be able to enjoy the sight he misses most – his daughters' faces as they grow up.
Meanwhile, Roane and the "Chain Gang" raise hefty amounts of cash for multiple sclerosis research – though he insists his former employer and perennial sponsor, Northwestern Mutual (John Van Der Hyde Agency), deserves much of the credit for the $400 in pledges he collected this year.
Obviously, it would take a lot more than near-blindness to make Roane miss a Virginia Dare ride. "I have so many wonderful friends," he exclaims, as he savors his memories of the latest tour. "People are always willing to help. And what a wonderful job the MS Society does — the ride is so well-organized.
"Besides," he laughs, "They treat us like celebrities!"

A place to excel
By Tom Lappas, Citizen Editor General News
It's no surprise when a business deal begins to take shape during a golf outing.
Perhaps less common is the business deal that percolates during a youth football practice. But such was the case for Varina District Supervisor Tyrone Nelson.
During a visit to former Varina High School football star Michael Robinson's football camp, Nelson was discussing with Robinson his excitement for the new Varina Library, whose opening last June was at that time forthcoming.

Beschreibung3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1011 1 2 31 The continual effort to improve performance in business processes attracts 4 increasing attention in research and industry alike. The impact of design 5 development performance on the overall business positions this area as an 6 important performance improvement opportunity. However, design devel- 7 opment is characterised by novelty, uniqueness and non-repeatability, which 8 provides particular challenges in de?ning, measuring and managing its 9 performance to achieve improvement. 2011 This book explores the support provided by both general research in busi- 1 ness process performance and design research for supporting performance 2 improvement in design development. The nature of design development in industrial practice is further revealed, and requirements for its modelling and 3 analysis to achieve improvement are highlighted. 4 A methodology for the modelling and analysis of performance in design 5 development that encapsulates a formalism of performance and an approach 6 for its analysis is established. The formalism is composed of three models, 7 which capture the nature of design development performance and support its 8 2 measurement and management. The E model formalises and relates the key 9 3011 elements of performance, i. e. , ef?ciency and effectiveness. The Design Activity 1 Management (DAM) model distinguishes design and design management 2 activities in terms of the knowledge processed, while the Performance 3 Measurement and Management (PMM) model describes how these activities 4 relate within a process of measuring and managing performance.

Downtown Austin is the central business district of Austin, Texas. It's located on the north bank of the Colorado River and houses the city's high rise and municipal buildings. In recent years, Austin has undergone aggressive development, with a boom in both residential and commercial units. Thanks to a substantial growth in its poplulation and major tourist attractions in SXSW and Austin City Limits (ACL), Downtown Austin is as busy a commercial district as there is in the US. If you ask residents, the only downside is heavier traffic during the morning commute.

I'm adamantly opposed to proselytizing. There are 91 different names for God in the Bible. I take that to mean that there are multiple ways of thinking of God, of connecting to His teachings. Different paths, same destination. With the advent of the Internet we've been given the gift of information at our fingertips. Telling another or even suggesting that their way of believing is wrong is to attack their identity, their very essence. There's another group who proselytize whom I find just as objectionable: Atheists. From the New Atheists to Militant Atheists.
A few days ago, the well known and respected commentator Rex Murphy presented a blistering critique of atheists, which seems to have been triggered by the recent debate over whether atheists soldiers should have access to their own chaplain. I believe it is worthwhile to highlight another glaring weakness of Mr. Murphy's article -- his misuse of the term anger.
Rex Murphy helped shape the way I think. He was a shining example of the type of strong rhetorician that this country rarely produces. Now, he openly deals in hateful diatribes cast down from the pages of the National Post. This means he has become what his critics have incorrectly accused him of being all along: a shallow, reactionary demagogue. And his latest piece will only prove them right.
Dinners and drinks with family and friends, gifts and well-wishing is my idea of Christmas, a lovely time of year, but some people can't get into the holiday spirit without gay-bashing. The Pope is such a man. He believes gay people are actually heterosexuals who choose to be gay. However unwarranted, the pope still holds influence over some people. That Canadians are increasingly rejecting this stuff is a credit to our intelligence and basic decency. It's time we stop being guided by these dusty mirages.
Let's get one thing straight: Abubakar Kasim is not advocating for "tolerance, respect and harmony" in his latest piece for the Huffington Post. He's advocating for the banning and censorship of "Innocence of Muslims." While "Innocence of Muslims" contributes nothing whatsoever to the discourse surrounding "one of the world's greatest religions" to ban it would be to ban the understanding of an inciting force that has had gut-wrenching consequences.
This week I had the imperfect pleasure of reading the final work of an author who admired Orwell and who died at age 62 under comparable circumstance. The imperfection of the pleasure with which I greeted the arrival to my mailbox of a new Christopher Hitchens book was a matter of subtraction, a momentary joy diminished by the awareness I'd never experience it again.
Happy Earth Day! I hope to spend today, ideally, puttering about my garden. Yes, we can all aspire to do something more high-minded, but even just beautifying your own patch of soil contributes to the pleasure of everyone around you (including even something as simple as a window box).
Relaxing, too, will help me recover from what was truly an amazing week here at HuffPost -- and what promises to be another in the coming week. In home news, Immigration Minister Jason Kenney joined our editorial team on Wednesday for dinner -- and a no-holds-barred question session, including questions from our readers. You'll be impressed by his frankness.
Most of the memorial took the form of readings from Christopher's own works, occasionally enlivened by editorial comment. The biggest laugh was claimed by the writer, actor and gay-rights exponent, Stephen Fry. Christopher, he said, had condemned as overrated: champagne, lobster, anal sex and picnics. "Three out of four, Christopher," said Fry.
When Huffington Post editor-in-chief Arianna Huffington sat down with Canada's George Stroumboulopoulos last week, it didn't take long for the convers...
Now that he has gone the world feels like a darker and less intelligent place. Christopher Hitchens had no equal among public intellectuals working in the English language. The fact that I will never again hear that deep, dry voice, be in the presence of his mischievious smile, is even more painful than I expected.

JWoww says that wasn't her real ass on New Year's Eve
JWoww says the unflattering pictures of her ass taken on New Year's Eve were photoshopped and that wasn't actually her ass, so to prove it she uploaded a video yesterday to Keek showing her "real" ass (in soft lighting and much more flattering underwear). Yes that's right, the three independent paparazzi agencies who managed to snap pictures of her ass are all conspiring with each other by meticulously photoshopping each and every picture they took to make JWoww looks bad. "The slutty chick from Jersey Shore is getting too powerful . . . . we must find a way to bring her down."

John Daly arrived at Arlandastad for the Scandinavian Masters after an improved performance last week at the US PGA Championship, even though his preparations did not include a practice round but did feature a trip to play the slot machines at a Tulsa casino, and promptly defended his approach in the light of Tiger Woods' remarks about the benefits of players having tough fitness regimes.
"I think I did better than most players last week who do work out," said Daly, third after the first round at the sweltering Southern Hills course before fading to finish joint 32nd. "I saw Vijay [Singh] finding the shade of a tree whenever he could and he looked worn out. I don't think it matters if you work out or if you don't. I am used to the heat, so it doesn't bother me as much as some of the others.
"I tried [working out] in the early 1990s but I got tired of it. Every time I worked out I threw up and I thought to myself, 'I can get drunk and throw up, I don't need to do this.' You throw up after an hour's work out but you can drink for 20 hours before throwing up, so it is just not for me. I don't like it."
Daly plays today alongside the tournament promoter Jesper Parnevik, whose season has been blighted by a broken finger and a broken toe, and the defending champion, the Scot Marc Warren. "There are probably some things I could do to keep my flexibility up but I just don't want to," added Daly, now 41 and a two-time major winner who has had weight, drink and gambling problems. "I'd rather smoke, drink Diet Cokes and eat. It just doesn't mean that much to me to work out, lift weights and run. I get enough exercise walking five or six miles a day."
The 1996 Open champion, Tom Lehman, has withdrawn with a wrist injury but Corey Pavin and Jeff Sluman play.

Sinner's Dream!byUncle Pervey©
the dream I had was a terrible thing,
It began with me inside a black train.
Satan was riding as the Engineer,
And everybody with me was in pain!
I saw "Fat Cat" lawyers and "Clergy" men,
And a whole lot of "Sinners" just like me.
I heard lots of "Wailing," and "Gnashing" teeth,
On that quick trip to "Hell's Eternity!"
Everyone around me was crying out,
And they were begging for "Just one more chance!"
We all heard the Devil's laughter ring out,
And felt him pushed his throttle to "Advance!"
We rushed through the darkness towards a glow,
That got brighter and hotter drawing near.
I was beginning to feel somewhat cold,
Despite the heat I shivered with real fear!
Then a sigh of relief, escaped my lips,
And I left my bed with some rocking.
It made my day when someone woke me up,
And I thanked "God" for all their loud knocking!
I have to say this dream affected me,
And it made me think a lot about sin.
Then I shrugged my shoulders and asked "Why not?
Sin is just too damned much fun," and I grinned!!

Ragini MMS will be scariest film till date
Ekta Kapoor told reporters last evening, "Ragini MMS will be the scariest movie in India so far. It has the ultimate catch-phrase, 'They didn't know it then, but it was a threesome'. I don't make films to please people. Ragini MMS is not a porn film as it is being made out to be. I believe there is enough audience for horror films."
The film is being directed by Pawan Kripalani. Ragini MMS is about a young couple who enter a house to spend a weekend. They are, however, unaware that the house is loaded with hidden cameras. There is a twist in the story when their recorded love-making reveals a supernatural element.
Ekta clears that the film's plot has nothing to do with Paranormal Activity. She informs, "The film is not like Paranormal Activity. I can say that we were inspired by the medium of Paranormal Activity.

Good apartment, nice host, in convenient position. No need to have car because you can get the city center by foot (20 minutes walk), by metro or by bus.
I didn't understand by the announce that the apartment was shared with another guest room and with the host room, but it has not been a problem.
We really enjoyed our stay at Frederic's. Most of all, we appreciated Frederic's hospitality and attention : it was a pleasure to visit the city with his advices ! The room, as the rest of the home, is really nice, calm and peaceful.
Thank you !!!
Nice room in a central but quit area very near to the central station and the city. Friendly and helpful host. We enjoyed our stay there much.
Very pleasant stay at Frederic's place., good location in Copenhagen. We had everything we needed, nice room. Recommended!
Frederic and his sons were very friendly. Nice room with all you need.
I will come back again.
We stayed for two nights at Frederics apartment, and I would recommend it! The apartment is located at a good neighborhood and Very central.
Our room was very comfortable and well equipped and our host was very helpful - Frederic recommended some very good eating spots as well!
This was our first wimdu experience.
Frederic was very friendly and gave us good recommendations.
We had a great stay in Copenhagen.
Oh what a beautiful appartement! We really loved the living room with the nice view to the garden and also the sweet kitchen and beautiful bathroom. We were allowed to use the kitchen too - There it was little mucky, but not that bad.
The area was really nice and quiet and we had just a little walk to public transport and the cheap supermarket.
Very creative special family – absolutely well organised and helpful!!!
Frederic wasn't in town when we arrived but his mother welcomed us quite great and gave us everything we needed. Was a perfect holiday and we would definitely stay there again. :)

ESPN NFL analyst Mark Schlereth joined Dennis & Callahan on Wednesday morning for a discussion about the Patriots and other league news.
Schlereth, a former lineman who won three Super Bowls during his time in Washington and Denver in the 1990s, is as surprised as anyone at the Patriots' struggles of late.
"I'm sitting here kind of baffled as everybody else is," he said. "At what point does the switch get flipped, if you will? I know Tom Brady's come out [and said] it's hard to win in this league, it's hard, hard, hard. I get that. But still, you look at the Patriots [and think that] they're going to figure it out eventually because they always seem to. Just the AFC in general has been perplexing and a little bit baffling to me."
Schlereth isn't ready to predict a Patriots-Texans AFC championship game, despite the fact that New England and Houston are two of only three AFC teams with a record over .500 (along with the injury-ravaged Ravens).
"New England, I'm not so sure," Schlereth said. "I think it's going to be very imperative that they play home games. It's going to be hard. I think there's a couple of other teams that have the potential to be good. But New England certainly will be there in the end, at least be a playoff team. I agree with you, they'll win that division. But obviously if they don't rectify their defense and play better on the defensive end of the ball, there's going to be some struggles there."

Government of Canada announces funding for the 2014 Saskatchewan Festival of Words
July 17, 2014 – Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan – Department of Canadian Heritage
The Government of Canada is providing the Saskatchewan Festival of Words with $35,000 in funding for its 2014 literary festival, which presents workshops for all ages, reading sessions, concerts, panel discussions, and interviews.

Ray Boughen, Member of Parliament (Palliser), announced this support today on behalf of the Honourable Shelly Glover, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages.
