The experts do battle over capacity market design.
as the "replacement capacity" issue, and which was scheduled initially to be presented to the members committee for endorsement on December 13, will instead be returned to the capacity senior task force, which will attempt to forge more precise tariff language.
Importantly, PJM's Ott took time at the September FERC conference to emphasize the importance of the DR operational initiative, explaining how, at present, without the needed reform, the DR resources cleared in the PJM RPM are dragging down the diversity of the region's resource mix:
"To some extent," as Ott testified in September, "we are victims of our own success.
"We have 14,000 MW of demand response … [clearing in RPM] … but 13,000 of it gives us only two hours' notice and the same price. So I have an 8 to 9 percent resource block that all looks the same.
"We can't sustain that."

Arsène Wenger believes Lassana Diarra's move to Portmsouth was prompted by a bit of "panic"
With the European Championships on the horizon, a perceived lack of games led to the midfielder seeking pastures new. It was a problem the 22-year-old had encountered before.
"I believe he was impatient especially because he had known a situation like that before at Chelsea," said Wenger. "When he had exactly the same problem again, he panicked a little bit."
Having battled for the Frenchman's signature just a few months ago, Wenger expressed regret at the departure. However with an abundance of talent in the middle, the boss has no doubt the gap can be filled.
"I regret that he has gone and I wish him well," said Wenger. "I believe he has enough quality to play at the top level, that means for a big club.
"He was impatient and I decided to open the door because I have players in that position."
"But you always regret to lose a very good player."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Get a type F.
I have a question about the constant trigger version of the PX4. Came across what I think was a good deal online and bought it without a lot of research. What is the approximate trigger weight on these? I see the DA/SA versions quoted at 9lbs/4lbs +/-. I hope this has something in the 7-8lb range. Shot an older S&W Sigma and had to stand on the trigger to get a round off. Is this trigger going to be that stiff?
Get a type F.
Could have, but I saved about $140 vs. the F so I thought it was worth a shot.
Is this basically double action, every time?
It is like a stricker fired pistol in that you have to rack the slide to engage the trigger for the first round. The cycle partially cocks the hammer (in the way I understand the striker gets partially cocked in Glocks, etc) for subsequent rounds and the trigger has a constant pull like a DAO or a Glock. The hammer can't be hand cocked because it is spurless what ever the term is. Until you rack the slide the trigger doesn't do anything so that is how it's different from the DAO set up.

Yesterday, I came across something this is very important. The ramifications of this are incredibly serious.
In this article, North American Forests: When the Colors of the Trees Change, massive amounts of North American forests are being wiped out by the bark beetle. Due to warm winter temperatures, winter survival rates of larvae shot from just 20% to over 80%, causing a massive population explosion. More beetles means more trees attacked and killed.
By 2010, over 30 billion trees have been killed. Logging operations to combat the infestation has resulted in even more tree loss, including many healthy ones. In British Columbia alone, over 18.1 million hectares are considered contaminated by 2012. In the lower 48, hundreds of millions of tree are already dead and dying. Western forests are at risk of being virtually wiped out.
But it gets worse then this.
Trees produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide. This balance is now threatened:
Ahead of us we have the possible destruction of forests, vital in maintaining oxygen levels necessary for life, in the control of carbon dioxide, and in water cycle balances. Notably, the concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere has dropped from 35 to 21 percent from prehistoric times to now, and the carbon dioxide has increased in part by the human growth pollution in cities with high oxygen levels, which often comprises only 15 percent of total air. So at this rate it is obvious that in these cities we will render the "air" unbreathable. Diana Beresford-Kroeger, a botanist, says, "the abuse of forests and pollution of the oceans has caused them to produce only half the oxygen (they produced) 10,000 years ago."** We must also consider that in the last 30 years this process has accelerated the deterioration or the collapse of almost all living systems.
This paragraph really stuck out, so I began to research the facts. Are cities really losing their oxygen?
Dangerously low levels of oxygen are now being reported in cities around the world. Increased carbon dioxide levels are displacing oxygen in the atmosphere. Continue reading »

Almarai Net Income Beats Estimates, Driven by Revenue GrowthDeema Almashabi
Almarai Co., the Saudi Arabian company that operates a joint venture with PepsiCo Inc., said fourth-quarter profit rose 29 percent as revenue grew.
Net income increased to 369 million riyals ($98.4 million) from 285.5 million riyals a year earlier, the company said in a statement on the Saudi stock exchange website today. That was more than the 331 million-riyal average estimate of nine analysts compiled by Bloomberg News.
Almarai recorded a strong performance in the bakery and poultry, as well as the consolidation of International Dairy & Juice Ltd.
"We believe Almarai has a solid long-term growth outlook, with poultry and bakery expected to play an increasingly important role," NCB Capital said today. "We believe margins have bottomed out, and thus continued evidence of this will act as a key catalyst for the stock price."
Almarai gained 1.9 percent to 66.3 riyals. The shares have risen 4.3 percent this year.
Fourth-quarter operating profit increased 27 percent to 437.3 million riyals, the company said. It recommended a dividend of 1.25 riyals per share.

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by Aussie Willy, Oct 23, 2011.
Procrastination! Where there is housework to be done there is no better than distraction than FSU.
Well. Yes that is true.
...Is that what we're supposed to talk about?
Purple. And Kwan. And Purple Kwan.
Yes this
Oh, I'm so glad.
While FSU is a great excuse for putting off chores, I find I can easily multitask with FSU and cooking dinner or feeding the cats.
Also excellent source of random information.
I'm imagining the former symbol aka Prince singing "Purple Kwan...Pur-ur-ple Kwannnnn!"
But you probably didn't watch Davis/White's FD multiple times yesterday and think "Now that's what I call a Bat Dance!"
One of my favourite maxims is: If you can find anything better to do with your day than housework, DO IT.
Such as packing a soaking wet mobile in dry rice may save it, what a merkin is , how to smuggle snacks into a comp in a tampax box, and who uses egg cups, to name a few!
Hmmm interesting - never heard this one before but good to know.
And it WORKS! (Mr. lurker was soooo embarrassed the first time I tried it! Not so much now, though! )
Absolutely nothing...let me tell ya!
Good God, y'all.
say it, say it, say it again...
Somehow I don't think this one will come up on Jeopardy! Darn it!
I tend to use FSU as a break from work during the day and sometimes as procrastination at work.
I decided to go on FSU one evening while watching something on TV and found that i cannot multitask and the TV was getting in the way of my enjoyment of FSU
Get your priorities straight! Sheesh.

I have been really obsessed with Antony & the Johnsons since I moved to Los Angeles. I'm not really sure why. I did first listen to him when I initially moved to Los Angeles in 2001, so maybe I have him attached to Los Angeles in my mind. I was immediately in love with him. He was like a stretched out version of Marc Almond-- a bit more intense and not as flamboyant. I guess he had a different kind of flamboyance. He's also incredibly interesting and completely engaging. I wanted to know more about this man. My love for him grew after I eventually moved back to San Francisco. After recently finding myself living back in L.A. once again, I inevitably began listening to all his albums. I listened to them over and over again as I unpacked and rearranged my new apartment. I even broke out a live bootleg album that a friend of mine had made for me. I normally stay away from the live albums-- I would rather physically be there at a live show-- but I even became obsessed with this live album and soon had all his comments to the crowd memorized as if they were part of the album. So of course I was excited to find out that Antony would be featured on a new album coming out this year. Hercules & Love Affair just released their self titled album in the U.K. on DFA Records. You might have to wait a couple months for a domestic release, but in the meantime it is more than worth the import price for this amazing new debut album. You will find Antony on the vocals for four of the ten songs. He also sings some back up on an additional song.
I was really not a fan of Greek mythology in high school. I actually failed the test we had on the subject and had to take a creative writing class that same year to make up for my failing semester of AP English. My English teacher was obsessed with mythology and I seriously think 95% of the semester was devoted to mythology, just as 95% of my junior high English class had been devoted to Anne Frank. But things tend to always happen for a reason. My creative writing teacher was one of those inspiring teachers you have that you remember forever. The class was fantastic and I ended up writing some fantastic little stories and even wrote a whole play about high school angst with one of my classmates. The class opened up my mind and really helped me to start seriously thinking about life and literature. Still though, any time I hear anything about Greek mythology I get a really sick feeling in my stomach. Homer's Odyssey still gives me chills when I think about it. Maybe someday I will try and tackle it again. I may have a better ability to understand it after watching all these movies about Hercules.
In spite of my gut reaction to mythology, The Clash of the Titans was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I think it might have just been because of my senior year high school teacher. Perseus, played by Harry Hamlin in Clash of the Titans, was the great grandfather of Hercules! There was actually a film made out of the Odyssey in 1997 starring Armand Assante, Greta Scacchi, Isabella Rossellini, and Bernadette Peters. I only wish this had aired on television when I was still in high school-- I may have done better in the class. Hercules has been the subject of many films over the years. Lou Ferrigno played him the 1983 movie of the same name. Kevin Sorbo played Hercules in the 90's television show. Ryan Gosling played "Young Hercules" in 1998.
Here is where it gets really weird: I was just watching The Terminator last night. (It is something I like to do a couple times a year.) The opening scene shows Arnold having a conversation with 3 street punks. One of them is Bill Paxton, who finally got a fantastic role on Big Love. One of the other guys is Brian Thompson. I was actually looking at him last night thinking to myself, "I know that guy was in a bunch more movies but I just can't remember which ones." So I had answered my very own question, but by accident. Brian Thompson played "Punk #2" in The Teminator. This was his first role in 1984. 16 years later he played Hercules in the television adaptation of Jason & the Argonauts starring Jason London as "Jason." And Brian Thompson also had a role in the Kevin Sorbo show Hercules: The Legendary Journey. And how could I forget the most amazing Hercules of all, which was Arnold Schwarzenegger in Hercules in New York from 1970! This was also Arnold's first movie! It seems all the Hercules movies and shows can be connected together. And of course, Hercules & Love Affair are both from New York and they could have easily called themselves "Hercules & Love Affair in New York." I could go on forever.
So I guess I have a love/hate relationship with Hercules and Greek mythology, but I absolutely love this album by Hercules & Love Affair. I even think I might love the artwork and packaging as much as I love the songs themselves. Seriously, it is currently at the top of the list for album packaging/artwork of the year. Because of this album I think I am going to actually make a top ten album packaging list of the year. It still manages to fit into the hip electro look of DFA but it is also very classic looking. The album is some serious fun. They may have been aware of how fantastic and great this album was as they were making it, but that does not make it any less fantastic. It could have easily been released in 1984, but it also could have easily been released in 2010-- which is also when the new Hercules movie comes out!
Antony's voice is always fantastic, and it just flows perfectly into these songs. They would have been amazing electro songs before he was even added into the mix, but he just makes them that much better. The other songs feature Nomi, Kim Ann, and Andrew Butler on vocals. Even with all these different vocal styles and personalities, the album still flows perfectly. I recommend that you put the album on repeat, because my only complaint is that it is a little too short. As soon as it ends you will want to listen to it over again. After a great year of music last year, I was seriously worried that there would be nothing to look forward to this year, but luckily that has not been the case. The movies this year might be getting off to a horrible couple of months, but music seems to be just getting better and better. This album really can't do anything but make you feel fantastic. It has got a great disco sort of feel to it, but it's not copying a genre or making fun of it. It feels like the future. This will most likely become the album of the year and be bigger than Madonna. I love it.
Here is the video for Blind...
I really love when album release dates get pushed backwards. It seems that albums are always getting delayed and confusing the fans more than necessary. I love it when an album actually gets released before it was originally planned. This happened with two albums this week. The Raconteurs' next record was going to come out in a couple weeks but is now coming out today. Gnarls Barkley was also going to be in a couple weeks but the release day actually got moved to last Thursday. Whatever the reason may be, I love the fact that distributors and retailers can work it out and actually make an album come out early. It gives me hope. By the way, the new B-52's album is also fantastic. It has been a long while, so you may not expect it, but they are just as fun as ever.
also out today...
"Funplex" by the B-52's
"Oi Oi Oi Remixed" by Boys Noize
"Greatest Hits" (domestic version) by Morrissey
"Odd Couple" by Gnarls Barkley"

Greenville woman injured in Thursday evening crash
OTISCO TOWNSHIP — A 52-year-old Greenville woman was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries after her vehicle left the roadway and struck multiple trees Thursday evening.
According to the Ionia County Sheriff's Office, Ruth Ann Coulombe was traveling eastbound on Fisk Road between Story and Dietz roads when her 2006 Buick Terraza left the roadway on the right and struck multiple trees and came to a stop at 10299 Fisk Road at 10:57 p.m.
Extrication equipment was used by the Belding Fire Department and she was transported to Spectrum Health United Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Driver fatigue is suspected to be the primary cause of the accident and drugs and alcohol are not believed to be a factor.
A seatbelt was not used by Coulombe.
Otisco Township resident Michael Callahan was sleeping when his daughters awoke him after they heard the sound of a crash in the front yard of their home.
"My daughters were the ones that heard the accident and woke me up," Callahan said. "I came out and the engine was still running, the wheels were still turning and the horn was going off."
Callahan said he had just had a refresher in first aid and quickly ran over to the vehicle to help.
"I was looking for some sort of response from the woman inside," he said. "I told her I was going to break the passenger window, I told her not to move. All she could do was move her head slowly."
Callahan said he then shattered the window and turned off the ignition of the car. At that point he continued to tell her not to move and waited for medical personnel to arrive.
Oakfield Township resident Brian Laurant was working in a garage a few houses down when he and a few others heard the vehicle crash into the ditch near the house.
"It was surprisingly quite loud and it was a weird sound," Laurant said. "It made a bunch of noise before it hit a few trees. She really threaded a needle, missing other trees and mailboxes before hitting what is really more of a bush than a tree. She seemed to be handicapped as she has all the hand controls in the front of the car."
The Belding Police Department, Life Emergency Medical Services and Anticliff Auto Parts and Towing assisted at the scene.

The Ruins HTML version
Part I, Chapter 20
The people expressed their applause, and the legislator continued: To proceed with order,
and avoid all confusion, let a spacious semicircle be left vacant in front of the altar of
peace and union; let each system of religion, and each particular sect, erect its proper
distinctive standard on the line of this semicircle; let its chiefs and doctors place
themselves around the standard, and their followers form a column behind them.
The semicircle being traced, and the order published, there instantly rose an innumerable
multitude of standards, of all colors and of every form, like what we see in a great
commercial port, when, on a day of rejoicing, a thousand different flags and streamers are
floating from a forest of masts.
At the sight of this prodigious diversity, I turned towards the Genius and said:
I thought that the earth was divided only into eight or ten systems of faith, and I then
despaired of a reconciliation; I now behold thousands of different sects, and how can I
hope for concord?
But these, replied the Genius, are not all; and yet they will be intolerant!
Then, as the groups advanced to take their stations, he pointed out to me their distinctive
marks, and thus began to explain their characters:
That first group, said he, with a green banner bearing a crescent, a bandage, and a sabre,
are the followers of the Arabian prophet. To say there is a God, without knowing what he
is; to believe the words of a man, without understanding his language; to go into the
desert to pray to God, who is everywhere; to wash the hands with water, and not abstain
from blood; to fast all day, and eat all night; to give alms of their own goods, and to
plunder those of others; such are the means of perfection instituted by Mahomet-- such
are the symbols of his followers; and whoever does not bear them is a reprobate, stricken
with anathema, and devoted to the sword.
A God of clemency, the author of life, has instituted these laws of oppression and
murder: he made them for all the world, but has revealed them only to one man; he
established them from all eternity, though he made them known but yesterday. These
laws are abundantly sufficient for all purposes, and yet a volume is added to them. This
volume was to diffuse light, to exhibit evidence, to lead men to perfection and happiness;
and yet every page was so full of obscurities, ambiguities, and contradictions, that
commentaries and explanations became necessary, even in the life- time of its apostle. Its
interpreters, differing in opinion, divided into opposite and hostile sects. One maintains
that Ali is the true successor; the other contends for Omar and Aboubekre. This denies
the eternity of the Koran; that the necessity of ablutions and prayers. The Carmite forbids

I checked my two hives for the second time this weekend. They were 2 lb packages installed about 2 1/2 weeks ago. (I got 2 lb packages because that's what the beekeeping association was getting.)
Hive One has worked about 4 frames and I saw capped brood, larvae, and eggs along with honey and pollen.
Hive Two has only worked about 2 frames and I saw capped brood and eggs, but no larvae. They also appeared to have more honey and pollen stores than hive One.
Both hives have consumed about the same amount of 1:1 syrup (about 1 gallon.)
The first 10 days or so after the bees were hived it was cool and rainy with frost occurring several nights.
So, how does it seem like my hives are doing? Why would one hive be doing so much better than the other? It's been ten plus years since I last had bees, so I don't really remember too much about their progress.

How sweet?!?!?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Oh Mary, that is gorgeous, look at that face, I want one NOW!!! :D
Awwww!!! So cute. What a sweet face. :D
Do they make good pets?
I wish you could have them as pets! I guess there is nothing stopping you if you really wanted to. We used to find hedgehogs occasionally in the garden when I was little. They were always riddled with fleas, and as soon as you approached them would roll up into an impenetrable ball! They are cute though. But they are classed as wildlife rather than pets, here in the UK anyway!
They are still cute. Afraid my dogs would think of them as toys....like they did with the porcupine!! ouch.... 76 quills in one dog only 15 in the other one. :cry:
That little guy is darling!!! I've seen a few around here as pets, but don't know how they turn out. I kinda thought it was probably similar to keeping gerbils and hamsters.. That is the cutest face on that little guy though!
They are just darling, I don't think we have
hedgehogs here in the US. He is a sweetie!

Hi! I am starting from scratch here (don't know anything about this area) and am hoping someone can help. Labor Day week we are flying into Omaha to see family in Grand Island, NE. From there we would like to take a road trip to see Devil's Tower, Mt. Rushmore and the Badlands (and whatever else is interesting along the way). Then back to Omaha to fly home. We have six days. Any advice on what the best route would be, what we should see, where we should spend the nights? Thanks!

If you can get a day or two to visit Yellowstone you would find it wonderful if this trip is in June there will be lots of baby elk and bison. Devil's tower and Rushmore don't take much time to visit, once you get there. Badlands time will depend on how much hiking you want to do in the park.
Hope you have a fantastic trip.

If you have the time, try to stop at Fort Robinson State Park (it would be on your way, more or less, from Grand Island to Mt. Rushmore). It's beautiful, historic, and you can even stay in an old officer's quarters building.

You could stay in Cody WY..fun place and about 45 minutes into the East Entrance of Yellowstone. You could do a daytrip loop if you don't want to do all of Yellowstone. Altho if you have time, you coud go all the way south into Tetons..my favorite area...but might be too much this trip.

Pugsley, there is more to the Black Hills than Mount Rushmore. The Mount only takes a couple of hours, check out Crazy Horse Monument and the museum on the grounds. There is lots and lots to see, just depends your tastes.

You might read day 3 and 4 of DW's trip report from Nebraska to Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park, Devils's Tower, etc:

Thanks so much for the replies!

Grand Island to the Black Hills/Devils Tower area will be a good 8-10 hour drive. I would try to stay someplace your first night in the Black Hills, (Rapid City is on I-90, lots of places to stay there) and the next day do Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park, etc, (not sure what exactly you want to see in SD, do a search on this forum about the Black Hills to get ideas). If you get time, it would be fun to go to Hot Springs, SD and stay overnight there, too. They have a natural hot water pool, very relaxing. You could visit the Mammoth Site there too. From Hot Springs, I would go back North and take I90 to Devils Tower, it won't take long to see that maybe 1-2 hours tops. After that, venture over to Cody, WY, and maybe stay there one night. Cody has the Buffalo Bill Center, it's a very interesting museum. The next day Yellowstone (my favorite place in the world!!!) would be an enjoyable drive. Labor Day is great for visiting Yellowstone, most of the crowds are gone. It can get chilly at night, so bring a jacket! If you don't want to stay in the park, try to get over to West Yellowstone or Jackson Hole. Jackson Hole is beautiful, but pricey. You should definetely see some animals here and there in that part of Wyoming.
After that, you will be probably ready to head back towards Nebraska, so you might enjoy the Big Horn Mountains. Buffalo is a cute little tourist town, it's very close to the Big Horn Mountains. A beautiful drive for sure. If you want to see more historic things, drive down to Casper and see the National Historic Trails Museum, stay over night there, and you could make it back to Omaha in a day. It will be a long drive, but it can be done.
Word of warning, Wyoming does not have a lot of places in between to stop at. So plan accordingly, keep beverages and food in your car and map out the rest areas. Cell service can be spotty in areas too.
I hope you have a wonderful trip!

Labor Day week should be great weather for you. It's about a 2 1/2 hour drive from Omaha to Grand Island. If you get in early enough you may want to stop at the Durham Heritage Museum, The Joslyn, or Henry Doorly Zoo before starting your trip. The Nebraska State Fair is 8/26- 9/5 right there in Grand Island so you may get to attend!
You'll be taking I-80W from Omaha to GI then US83 and I90 to Mt Rushmore I would think. Stopping in Valentine would be a good break and beautiful. Coming back it will mostly be I90 and I29. Along with all the other places suggested Rapid City would be another good stopping point. Have a great time.

We actually had to change our trip because of the State Fair. We had no idea that was going to be in GI. There were NO hotel rooms available. So we are going to do GI at the end of our trip instead of the beginning. We'll stay in Rapid City the first night and then go on from there. Thanks for all the advice everyone. I may be back to ask more questions as I make further plans!

As Treasurer Peter Costello prepares to reveal this week how the budget finished in 2002-03, a new report has predicted the surplus will be as high as $6 billion despite war, drought and the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome.
Mr Costello in the May budget forecast a surplus of $3.9 billion.
The report, by Access Economics, said higher than expected collection of taxes from business and the extra $965 million dividend from the Reserve Bank supported a more optimistic forecast.
Mr Costello yesterday declined to comment about the outcome, but said Australia's involvement in Iraq and the Solomon Islands would continue to be a drain on taxpayers.
"I think that there will be requests for other help on the ground," he said on Seven Network's Sunday Sunrise, referring to Australia's role in rebuilding Iraq. "This is a significant commitment, having all of those Australians there, and it will obviously cost the budget."
Mr Costello also declined to comment on the possibility that economic growth forecasts for this year will be revised.
The Federal Government has forecast growth of 3.25 per cent in 2003-04.
In a report of long-term forecasts to be released today, economic analyst BIS Shrapnel concurs with the Government's outlook for this year.
However, its report contains strong warnings about sharp rises in interest rates, and the bursting of the housing bubble within three years.
BIS Shrapnel sees economic growth rising steeply, to average almost 5 per cent in 2004-05 and 2005-06, before triggering a rise in mortgage rates into double-digit figures and a fall into recession.
The analyst's two-year outlook for Australia shows a sharply accelerating economy fuelled by large domestic investment as businesses increase production capacity to meet rising levels of demand.
The predicted boom would be lucrative for business. However, rising demand would bring problems for home owners.
The report predicted the variable rate of interest applicable to most Australian mortgages would rise to 10.1 per cent in 2006, and set up the economy to contract the following year.
A recession would present home owners with the dual dilemma of higher interest rates and higher unemployment, and would be a carbon copy of economic woes in 1990-91.

Since there has been a new addition to our family, I now need a new addition to our 72-hour kits - for baby!
But seeing as how baby grows so fast and her needs for diapers, milk/formula, clothes, toys, etc. are constantly changing, I'm going to make a separate bag for the "baby kit" so that I can more easily remember to rotate/change items as baby grows.
Stay tuned - I will have pictures and a list soon. I almost have everything I need, now I've just got to finalize it and put it all together.
A new addition to the 72-hour kits!Friday, April 20, 2012

ED Magedson – Founder
Ripoff Report
PIONEER INFORMATION, INC.9323 N Government Way #107 Hayden, Ohio United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Dan Rud of Pioneer Info & Marketing, Inc (former company name), Pioneer Information, Inc (new name) contracted me to write software for his mortgage lead company. He wrote in several email messages that he would pay whatever it costs for me to complete a program unfinished by two former programmers.
Dan acted disgruntled toward the two former programmers, but, didn't say why they left the project. I now know why. Dan lacked the ability to personally communicate specifications to them. He had a written summary list, but could not understand what was on the list most likely because the list was written by a real programmer.
I quoted a price to get his program working based on the first spec list. This is when he said he "would pay whever it costs to finish the program". I corrected and completed every item on Dan's first spec list to his full satisfaction. He was sent the software and told "Do not pay unless and until you consider it done." He paid for the first spec list, confirming that it was completed.
Then Dan added a second spec list. I completed this second specifications list to his full satisfaction. When I completed and delivered this, he did not pay for the work. He used the software for 65 more days. I didn't hear from him. He most certainly did not ever specify that there was any software problems. He confirmed that it did exactly as the spec lists had required.
More time went by. He hadn't paid for the additional work and still no complaints.
I did recommend that he stop running the software on an old slow computer because of the nature of the program and because it was running on a Microsoft Access 2000 database. He failed to see the signigicance. Talking to him was like talking to a 2 year old because he didn't have basic computer knowledge. He did't know what a folder or directory was. When it came time for him to install the product, he was lost.
He then asked me to write the entire system in another programming language fully expexting me to not be paid anymore for that additional work. Imagine Dan having a a house built then, paying only for a part of it, demanding his money back, then asking the contractor to rebuild another for free!
He then asked via email for some minor support help but not related to any problem, outside of the free support time I allowed, 30 days. Again, his email message said, "I will pay whatever it costs to receive the support." During the support phone call, Dan reiterated that he would pay the cost he agreed to. I provided him with the support and sent an invoice for the agreed cost.
In the following weeks he sent a nasty email saying he would not pay for the additional software work, not pay for the support and demanded all his money back. Again, no declaration or communication on any problems. Without a problem being specified to a company, there cannot be any cure.
Then he emailed the web site that connected us as a contract broker to compel them to make me give back his money, again without specifying any concrete problems. They contacted me. I then listed every one of the spec, the completeness of each was explained, the fact that each was done to Dan Rud's complete satisfaction. Dan was running a scam to get programming services, then extorting the money back after work was delivered to use the money on new programmers. The site agreed and didn't ask me to return the money.
Dan then filed libel and defamation statements on the contract broker site and flagged my profile as the lowest rating.
All this comes to is:
a. Dan Rud is a chronic liar. Not one of his statements were true.
b. a deadbeat customer
c. an extortion artist working scams to get free programming
d. a masochistic person. There was no reason whatsoever for him to ask for his money back according to ordinary business practice nor any reason for posting a poor rating or libel statments.
As a result, I lost thousands of dolars of new business, existing relationships with clients. The contract profile was defamed into failure.
The costs to sue Dan start from $25,000 and up.
Do not ever do business with this person or his company.

Why do ppl have such a difficult time in seeing that the citizen's of a country are not the government.Quoting: Anonymous Coward 281540
Our governments are playing the old Roman divide and conquer and most of the world's population seem to fall for it.
How can we ever get rid of corrupt governments when ordinary people are so easily divided?
Can't you see that it's not in government's interests for us to not hate each other? Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, etc, etc..... we're all Humans at the end of the day and yet the same government's that we don't trust are able to so easily divide us with propoganda about different nationalities/religions. What a joke the Human race is!
Great post...
Don't blame the human race though.
People are assaulted with the lies and deceit from a very young age, non-stop, until they finally expire; worked to death by the Elite, having spent a better part of their life's energy in an effort to pay the taxes demanded by the State.
Little children in school are indoctrinated, humans are rammed over the head with the BS on TV, in movies, on Radio, in Music; Culture; the Fame Game; etc.
Only once an individual breaks out from the mass programming can he or she see it for what it really is.
So yes we are divided and abused by our gov'ts.
Then we are lied to and told 'Vote!!!' and 'You are lucky - You live in a Democracy!!!' and 'Because you live in a democracy, YOU are responsible for the actions of your Government!!!'
We are fucked no matter where we turn. Unless we TURN AWAY from the programming.

Home > News & Events > News > Press Releases > Obama Approval Ratings on the Rise Among Millennials, Especially on College Campuses, Harvard Poll Finds
Washington, D.C. – A new national poll of America's 18 to 29 year olds by Harvard's Institute of Politics (IOP), located at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, now finds a majority of Millennials (55%) approve of the job performance of President Barack Obama, a rise of six percentage points from IOP polling conducted last October. The President's job approval rating among students on four-year college campuses – now 60% – increased even more (nine percentage points) over the same period.
In addition to finding continued growth for Facebook among Millennials in the last year (80% of all 18-29 year olds and 90% of four-year college students now have a Facebook account), the poll also reveals a plurality (27%) of Millennials believe online tools like Facebook, Twitter, blogs and YouTube make more of an impact than in-person advocacy (16%) when advocating for a political position. A detailed report on the poll's findings is available on the Institute's homepage at www.iop.harvard.edu.
"As the 2012 presidential primary and caucus season draws closer, young people will again have the opportunity to greatly impact the race for the White House," said Harvard's Institute of Politics Director Trey Grayson. "Political campaigns which incorporate an effective youth outreach strategy will have a strong advantage in the 2012 cycle."
"What's been proven in 2008 and in the events in the Middle East of late, is that young adults can make the difference when inspired," said John Della Volpe, Director of Polling for the Institute of Politics. "And before inspiration happens, it's important to understand how Millennials communicate – providing this perspective is what we aim to do every semester with our national research project."
The web-enabled survey of 3,018 18-29 year-old U.S. citizens with a margin of error of +/– 2.4 percentage points (95% confidence level) conducted with research partner Knowledge Networks for the IOP between February 11 and March 2, 2011 finds –
Harvard students designed the poll in consultation with IOP Polling Director John Della Volpe, whose firm SocialSphere, Inc. commissioned Knowledge Networks to conduct the survey. Complete results, are available – along with past surveys – online at www.iop.harvard.edu.
Knowledge Networks conducted a study of young adults on political issues on behalf of Harvard University's Institute of Politics. The goal of the project was to collect 3,000 completed interviews with young Americans between 18 and 29 years old. Approximately 2,100 cases were to be collected on the KnowledgePanel® with the remaining 900 coming from an opt-in panel sample source. The main sample data collection took place from February 11 to March 2, 2011. A small pretest was conducted prior to the main survey to examine the accuracy of the data and the length of the interview.
Three thousand, six hundred and twenty-six (3,626) KnowledgePanel members were assigned to the study. The cooperation rate was 57.7 percent resulting in 2,091 completed interviews. One hundred sixty eight (168) interviews were conducted in Spanish with the remainder done in English. For the opt-in data source, 927 interviews were completed; the cooperation rate was 4.9 percent.
The web-enabled KnowledgePanel® is a probability-based panel designed to be representative of the U.S. population. Initially, participants are chosen scientifically by a random selection of telephone numbers and residential addresses. Persons in selected households are then invited by telephone or by mail to participate in the web-enabled KnowledgePanel®. For those who agree to participate, but do not already have Internet access, Knowledge Networks provides a laptop and ISP connection at no cost. People who already have computers and Internet service are permitted to participate using their own equipment. Panelists then receive unique log-in information for accessing surveys online, and are sent e-mails throughout each month inviting them to participate in research. More technical information is available at http://www.knowledgenetworks.com/ganp/reviewer-info.html and by request to the IOP.
Harvard University's Institute of Politics (IOP), located at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, was established in 1966 as a memorial to President Kennedy. The IOP's mission is to unite and engage students, particularly undergraduates, with academics, politicians, activists, and policymakers on a non-partisan basis to inspire them to consider careers in politics and public service. The Institute strives to promote greater understanding and cooperation between the academic world and the world of politics and public affairs. More information is available online at www.iop.harvard.edu/.
Knowledge Networks delivers quality and service to guide leaders in business, government, and academia – uniquely bringing scientifically valid research to the online space through its probability-based, online KnowledgePanel®. The company delivers unique study design, science, analysis, and panel maintenance, along with a commitment to close collaboration at every stage of the research process.

Brothers help make Ice Fest a hard water success
The Breezy Point Ice Fest committee has its first meeting in September or October, months before the event itself, and before ice has even formed over the bay where the event is held.
Brothers Michael and Justin Wallin, both of Breezy Point, co-chair Ice Fest for the third year this weekend, Jan. 3-4.
On Dec. 27, the Breezy Point bay on Pelican Lake had 11.5-12 inches of good ice, the Wallins said. The event needs 14-16 inches, and they're confident they'll get it. They'd planned to plow part of the bay so that more ice had a chance to form without the insulating layer of snow.
While many events can happen without 14-16 inches, that much ice allows the sheriff to sign off on snowmobile radar runs, which are a huge draw, the Wallins said. The radar runs are coordinated by the Pequot Lakes Brush Pilots.
Professional snowmobilers who have come to test their speed have been clocked at up to 160 miles per hour in just a quarter-mile stretch of track.
If the radar runs are a go, the number of people out on the bay easily doubles. If the ice is thick enough for the radar runs, it's also thick enough for hot air balloon rides.
The Wallins remember two years ago, when it was 42 degrees and there was very little snow. It made pond hockey a challenge, among other issues.
"If you lost a puck it'd go halfway across the bay," Justin said.
Last year, though, was pretty much perfect with 27-degree weather and no wind. That's what they're hoping for again this year.
The Wallins said the Ice Fest committee has a great volunteer group, and everyone's responsible for a different aspect of the festival, whether it's radar runs, kids' ice fishing, pond hockey or hot air balloon rides.
Michael said his favorite Ice Fest events are the radar runs and the kids' fishing activity.
Simply Outdoor Experiences coordinates the kids' fishing event, which this year will have an Olympic theme. The crew will be out from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. with equipment so kids can go fishing and learn about ice fishing safety.
Last year, Michael said, every kid caught a fish, and many didn't want to leave.
Justin and Michael's Ice Fest experience begins Friday, Jan. 3, with setup for the event and making sure everyone has what they need to make the event a success. On Saturday, Jan. 4, they'll be on the ice from before the start until the fireworks are done that night.
Each has his own reason to enjoy Ice Fest.
"It's great to see everyone out there having fun," Michael said.
Justin enjoys sharing with people what Breezy Point has to offer.
The two didn't grow up in the area, but visited frequently as their family has a cabin on Little Pelican Lake.
Due to their father's job, the family moved around a lot. They lived in several states, including Wisconsin, Nebraska and Minnesota.
"We're one of the few Wallins that moved away," Justin said jovially. They came back, though.
"It's always been home up here," Michael said. The two have been deer hunting in the area since they were 12, and some years visited 13 times a year, even when they lived as far away as Nebraska.
Today, Michael and Justin are general managers for Pelican Square and Pine Peaks in Breezy Point.
"I love our four seasons. There's fun activities to do in all of them," Justin said.

Manitou Springs unveils new alert system
Upgrade comes with Waldo Canyon fire in mind
The recent Waldo Canyon wildfire motivated leaders in Manitou Springs to replace their broken alert siren with a better version for similar emergencies in the future.
On Friday, the town unveiled its new siren outside the town hall. A $25,000 state grant paid for the project.
The siren can emit a tone or a spoken message.
Police Chief Joe Riberio said the system will make the town better prepared for wildfires, floods and other disasters.
"Because of the (Waldo) burn scar and the propensity of a flash flood to occur because of the burn scar, the likelihood we'll have that will increase," he said.
Riberio said officials will determine how effective the siren is and expand the system if necessary.
Riberio also said if a flood, fire or other dangerous situation exists, residents shouldn't wait to hear the siren. They should take action and get to safety on their own.

The major mining companies and big four banks generated 99 per cent of the profits made by the country's largest 50 companies in the past financial year, underlining concerns that the two-speed economy masks serious problems.
The remaining 42 companies contributed only 1 per cent of profits, in a performance that sparked warnings to expect more job cuts.
Only 16 of the 42 non-bank, non-mining companies reported an improved result in the first half of this year – and six of those were in the energy sector, according to an analysis by accounting firm KPMG provided to The Australian Financial Review.
"It is an amazing statistic," Shane Oliver, chief economist and head of strategy at AMP Capital Investors, said.
"It just highlights how one-legged the economy has really become. It is just basically the resources sector driving us along. The rest of the economy is really struggling," Dr Oliver said.
"It is not ideal at all. Fair enough, the rest of the economy has to make room for the mining sector but seeing profits go backwards ultimately means you are going to see more and more unemployment and it is certainly not a good one for shareholders unless they put all their shares in resources."
The manufacturing sector is under increasing pressure because of the high Australian dollar. Last month BlueScope Steel moved to axe 1000 jobs.
The KPMG report revealed that the four big mining companies contributed 78 per cent of the year-on- year profit growth for the top 50 companies.
Last year the sector generated about half of the top-50 company profits. It was less than 20 per cent a decade or so ago.
The big four banks contributed 21 per cent of the year-on- year profit growth.
But three years after the 2008 credit crunch, profits for the 42 non-bank, non-mining companies are languishing at 19 per cent below their June 2008 results.
"With the IMF warnings of a risk of a double-dip recession in the US and Europe and shaving the forecasts of Australia's growth prospects for the coming year, the recent reporting session has highlighted the weakness in the Australian non-bank, non-mining sectors," KPMG head of audit Duncan McLennan said.
"The recovery out of the GFC of these sectors has faltered, with a downward trend in profitability accelerating," he warned.
The report also showed continued convergence between statutory and underlying profits, with a variance of only $4 billion last financial year, compared with $43 billion at the height of the economic downturn.
But asset write-downs have begun to increase once again, almost doubling to $6.1 billion for the six months ending June 30 – back above pre-GFC levels. However, this is still well below the peak of almost $40 billion during the crisis.
"Those sectors which continue to struggle, such as manufacturing and retail, are employers of large numbers of people, so we may see further restructuring as they battle to adapt to the current reality," Mr McLennan said.

By Richard Clarke in Kiev
Preparation is Arsène Wenger's strength. But although the Arsenal manager has done his utmost to ready his side physically for the game at Dynamo Kyiv, he can not truly understand their mental state until they step out on to the pitch at the Valeri Lobanovskiy Stadium this evening.
The Frenchman is in the middle of a massive week. One in which they must travel 3,400 miles in two competitions with the aim of taking nine points against three teams. But, above and beyond the mere statistics, this eight-day period also forces Arsenal to confront head-on two of their traditional weaknesses – domestic wins in the North-West of England and European wins in the former Soviet Union.
Wenger started the healing process with a thumping 4-0 win at Blackburn on Saturday but, after Kyiv, he faces a Bolton side who have enjoyed clipping the wings of Premier League high-fliers in the past. Given that Arsenal were only four points off the title last season, dropping three up there is not an option.
Of course the biggest fillip – mental or physical - would be victory tonight in rain-soaked Kiev. The Ukrainian capital was grey and dreary on the morning of this Champions League Group G opener but then Arsenal have left in a similar mood after each of their last six trips to this part of the world. The record goes: Dynamo Kyiv 1-3 (1998), Donetsk 0-3 (2000), Spartak Moscow 1-4 (2001), Lokomotiv Moscow 0-0 (2003), Dynamo Kyiv 1-2 (2003), CSKA Moscow 0-1 (2006). That's why Wenger knows his side must have their psyche spot-on this evening.
"Football in this region can be a little bit destabilising," he said. "If you do not prepare well mentally you can be surprised by the level of commitment here and in Russia.
"We have had some bad experiences in this part of Europe before. When we lacked experience we were surprised by the commitment and enthusiasm we got from a side like Kyiv.
"But I believe we have learnt that any place in the world is difficult and I believe mentally we can cope with that better now.
"We just won comfortably at Blackburn on Saturday and that gives us the needed confidence that we can achieve something in the Champions League."
Gael Clichy and Emmanuel Eboue picked up knocks at Ewood Park but recovered in time to make Wenger's 18-man squad. Samir Nasri (knee) and Mikael Silvestre (muscular problem) are still out so the only change from the weekend sees Carlos Vela replace Kieran Gibbs.
While Arsenal's record out here is woeful, that solitary point came against a Lokotmotiv Moscow side managed by Yuri Semin, who takes charge of Kyiv tonight. As a Russian, he was a controversial choice but change was demanded. Kyiv lost all six Champions League group games last season and finished with a goal difference of minus 15. Former Arsenal defender Oleg Luzhny was in charge for a while but he is now Semin's No 2.
The match between these sides in 2003 was played in front of 80,000 at the Olimpiyskiy Stadium. Tonight's venue only holds around 16,000 however the atmosphere will not be lacking intensity.
"We know Kyiv is always a very, very difficult place and we respect that," said Wenger. "At the stadium, they get a big support. However I feel we have enough experience to deal with that because we know it is important to start well.
"But," he concluded, "what is really important when you go into a game like this is that you play as close as possible to your full potential.
"In a Champions League game you do not get away with less."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

One evening last autumn I was walking along the West Side not far from the river when I saw coming towards me one of the prettiest-looking people I had seen in a long time. When he reached me and was about to go on past, I felt compelled to tell him how pretty I thought he was. I came very close to not saying anything, but I gathered up my courage and spoke. I think what I said was: "You are the prettiest person I have seen all day." He didn't seem to mind my saying that at all. He was just as gracious as he was pretty. I had my camera, and I asked him if he would mind if I took his picture. He said he would be happy to pose for a picture, and he told me that his name was Floyd Leon Fuller.
Since that evening when I met him, I have thought of Mr. Fuller every so often, but I especially thought of him a couple of days ago during the big blizzard. In the late morning I waded through the howling sleet along 12th Street all the way over to Avenue C. I was going to the Social Security Administration office to get a paper related to my social security card, something that would be a tedious errand on any kind of day. But I regretted even trying it on that one, especially when I reached the place and found it closed and dark. A handful of old men were standing around the door in their coats, looking at a sign saying that service had been suspended for the day. One of them looked at me and said, "What day is today?" I said, "It's the 10th." And he said, "No, what day? What day of the week is this?" And I said, "Wednesday." The sign on the door didn't state the reason for the suspension of service, just the fact that the place was closed. I was kicking myself for not checking before walking all the way across town, as far as 12th Street went almost to the East River, just to find the office shut. I promised myself that once I got back home nothing would get me outside again for the rest of the day.
I love the kind of big snowfalls when the city goes all hushed and forgiven in its silence of white magic. But this was not that kind of snowstorm. What was coming down was ice and slush whipped around by the wind. I started back the way I came and let my mind loose to wander as I walked home. Passing Stuyvesant Square near the Friends Meeting House and St. George's Episcopal Church on East 16th Street, I saw the little park enveloped in the blizzard, and thought of a day not long ago when I sat there on a bench for a while. I sat and watched squirrels racing up and down the trees whose branches were crowded with pigeons, and listened to an old man with a cane belting out Give My Regards to Broadway over by a clutch of bums going through the trash.
I thought of my friend Victor Bockris and visiting him one March afternoon just as snow began to fall. I sat on his sofa and noticed, on the table beside me, a roll of toilet paper that Victor had scribbled all over in black marker as if it were just regular old notepaper. I wondered how deep into the roll the notes went, but before I could ask him, something distracted me and I never found out.
I remembered a night some years ago when I went down to visit my friend Lionel Ziprin on East Broadway. He lived in one of the big buildings originally built as low income housing to replace the old tenement houses that stood for so long on the Lower East Side where he grew up during the Great Depression. Lionel called those big buildings "memory batteries." In his living room, which was full of big black hats and bookcases full of Jewish scholarly texts, Lionel had a beautiful divan. The back of the divan was of hand-carved wood in the shapes of leaves and vines. Sitting on it that night for some reason made me think of the great actress Sarah Bernhardt. Lionel was sitting in his rocking chair opposite, and I patted the cushion beside me and said, "Sarah Bernhardt." Lionel nodded and said, "Yes, she gave that to my mother once," and somehow neither one of us seemed to feel surprised by any of it. I remember looking out the window and seeing that it had started to snow. And walking uptown a little later that night I saw, way uptown, the Chrysler Building standing by herself all blurry and beautiful, like a nighttime watercolor.
By the time I got home from the closed Social Security office I was soaked and very glad to be inside again. And then I remembered Floyd Leon Fuller. Because on the autumn evening when I was compelled to stop and tell him how pretty he looked, he gave me a little flyer on which was hand-written: "Floyd Leon Fuller will appear at the Apollo Feb 10th at 7:30 PM. That's a Wednesday. He is as talented as MJ." I looked him up on the Apollo site and found him listed as an Amateur Night artist and read that Floyd Leon Fuller, also known as Mr. Hollywood, has "a five range octave and knows how to use it." I had been looking forward to it for months. Just to be safe, I checked the Apollo Theater site, and I found this little announcement: "Due to inclement weather, the show scheduled for Wednesday, February 10th, has been canceled." I sat by the window watching the storm, hoping that wherever Mr. Hollywood was sitting at that moment he didn't feel too disappointed. I felt disappointed and relieved, both.

Oh no! And they didn't even say if it would be rescheduled?ReplyDelete
So many disappointments on one day yet you make it sound so beautiful as if the whole day was a gift.
Thank you.
A lovely collage of impressions, memories falling through the snow and slush... rendered in your inimitable style. Thanks for enhancing my Sunday night.ReplyDelete

It hasn't been an easy journey, but Ray Winstone has earned his place on the red carpet.
As he strolled into the premiere of the new Indiana Jones film in Cannes on Sunday, Ray's days of ducking and diving as a struggling actor are clearly long gone.
And when he gets back to his favourite local pub, The Crusader in Roydon, Essex, the actor could be forgiven if he breathed a sigh of relief that his career is finally as spectacular as he'd always dreamed it could be.
Today home is a sprawling Essex mansion with its own private boozer in the garden but, for many years, Ray brought up his family in a two-bedroom council flat.
His children Lois and Jaime shared a room and ran wild in the streets with the kids on their estate in Enfield, North London, while their dad endured the daily grind of finding work as an actor.
To make ends meet he sold women's underwear from a market stall, once even flogging his van to pay for a holiday. But his family never went short. His children always remember getting the best toys and there being plenty of food on the table.
Daughter Jaime recalls: "I always had the best toys and the best clothes.
"God knows how that happened, but it did. You know, you duck and dive and get the best you can.
"But there were some sticky situations, hiding from the tax man, that kind of thing."
Occasionally, his cashflow problems did catch up with Ray. Twice declared bankrupt, he considered quitting the acting business for good. He was drinking heavily and getting into trouble and was even arrested a few times for assault.
But for a while it had seemed that young Ray had cracked it. The former boxer - who plays Indy's sidekick Mac in the new film Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull - wowed the acting world in 1977 with his performance in Scum, the violently realistic TV film about life in a borstal.
Then for two decades he struggled to get work. But he grafted, both on the screen and down the market and paid off all his debts. There were fleeting appearances on Boon, One Foot In The Grave, Casualty and as Will Scarlett in the TV series Robin Of Sherwood.
A friend says: "Ray survived with the help of his family but it was very tight."
But in 1997 everything changed. Cast as the violent alcoholic husband in Nil By Mouth, he found a role that finally made casting directors take notice and Hollywood came calling.
At last the money began rolling in and by 2001 he moved the family to their large Essex farmhouse. The move came as a huge shock to Jaime, now 23, and Lois, 25, two streetwise kids who suddenly found themselves in rural village.
Jaime went briefly off the rails while Lois started heading into town to attend raves. Now Jaime says: "We were like, 'Why are there sheep in the garden?
What are we doing here?' It was such a culture shock."
Ray's wife Elaine has been by his side throughout the highs and lows of his career. They met in 1979 when he was filming That Summer on the south coast and the actor credits her with keeping his feet on the ground.
They separated briefly in the early 90s for six months, though Ray has insisted it was for financial rather than emotional reasons.
And when they moved to Roydon they decided to add to their family - Ray is now the proud father of Ellie, six.
Jaime has become a successful actress and big sister Lois is a singer in the band Crack Village. Both regularly travel to Essex for Sunday dinner.
Family has always been important to Ray. His sister Laura Hopwood, 49, says: "He's very kind and so generous with everyone - his family and his friends. He's always been there for me. Like now, he'll invite us over to his lovely home in Roydon and tell us to use his pool whenever we want. And if he's abroad he'll be on the phone and tell us to come over for a holiday, wherever he is in the world.
"We went to LA when he was doing Beowulf. And when he was in Ireland doing King Arthur we stayed over there for ages.
"My son Bobby even did stunts for them on the shoot."
Ray's drinking is firmly under control now, though he admits he still has the occasional binge.
And although he's no poster boy for the keep-fit brigade, the burly actor swims every day, walks on the treadmill and watches what he eats.
But he still likes a jar or two in Raymondos, the private pub he had built in his garden, where stars including Gwyneth Paltrow have dropped in for a pint.
Or he occasionally walks into the village for a drink in The Crusader.
Four years ago, he joined with his drinking buddies to strip for a charity calendar. Jack Letherbarrow, landlord of the White Hart - another of Ray's regular haunts, says: "He is very popular with the locals. He's so down to earth, he has no airs and graces.
"There are a few people in the pub who are involved with charities and Ray always helps them. He doesn't hide away and loves a laugh.
"Now and again people get a bit too close to him but he never complains.
"He has helped out the local boys' football club and has signed their shirts.
He is a lovely fella and a good friend."
City worker turned charity worker John Manitara also lives in the village and sometimes bumps into Ray at the local primary school.
"I've met him a couple of times at the school and spoken to him in the playground - just two dads having a chat," he says.
"He's just a nice down-to-earth bloke.
"No one really bothers him here, we're are quite respectful of his privacy."
It goes a long way to explaining why Ray the Hollywood icon has no intention of quitting his Essex hideaway for LA.
He's a lovely fella and a good friend.. very popular with the locals

One of the best CTI albums from the early 70s – and one of Stanley Turrentine's funkiest records as well! The album's got a sharper edge than most other Turrentine albums of the time – a quality that goes beyond Stan's already soulful approach to the tenor, and which brings in some tight changes and more pronounced rhythms that really give the best cuts a great groove! The group's a sextet – with Bob James on electric piano, Milt Jackson on vibes, Cornell Dupree on guitar, Ron Carter on bass, and Billy Cobham on drums – and titles include a monster version of Weldon Irvine's "Sister Sanctified" – a great funk tune that's probably best known as the sample for "My Philosophy" by BDP! Other tracks include "Speedball", "Cherry", and "The Revs". (Sealed 70s pressing!) © 1996-2017, Dusty Groove, Inc.
We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Bajaj Auto is ready to introduce their new 4-wheeler RE60 in June on July this year. The manufacturer is planning to roll out the RE60 first in Sri Lanka as there are no regulations on the product in Sri Lanka, it is a proximate market for export as well as the largest 3-wheeler market for the company. According to Bajaj Auto, there are some hindrances for the immediate launch of the RE60 in India but the company will have its production ready for the Indian market and hopes that the regulations will be sorted soon.
The Bajaj RE60 is best suited for ferrying passengers within the city and not intercity because of some limitations of the vehicle in terms of its size, weight and power. It will not serve the purpose of travelling between the cities conveniently through expressways because of its 70 km/hr top speed. The RE60 will be an upgraded version from 3-wheelers. It will give a better sense of safety, space and comfort over auto rickshaws. Thus the RE60 has huge scope in the market.
The Bajaj RE60 will be powered by a single0cylinder, liquid-cooled, 200cc engine featuring Bajaj's DTSi twin-spark technology, which can manage a maximum power output of 20 BHP. The engine is mounted at the rear and can return a fuel efficiency figure of 30 km/l. The RE60 is also expected to come for a cheaper price than the autorickshaw, which is priced well over Rs. 1 lakh. The manufacturer doesn't aim to compete the RE60 with the Tata Nano. We can expect the RE60 to be offered as a private vehicle too.
