Q. Are you satisfied with this Oscar Awards 2013? If no then what are your reasons for the same? Asked by: Anant Jain
A. No. Not satisfied. Though it's not the worst of the Oscar shows in recent years (the one hosted by James Franco with Anne Hathaway gets that honor, though completely because of Franco, not Hathaway's fault), I must say this one was not even close to the best the Oscars have been - there were production glitches, and it was completely unacceptable that the song from 'Life of Pi' was not performed on stage! Still, it had its moments :)
Q. Didn't the Academy got it wrong when they didn't even nominate Ben Affleck for Best Director? Asked by: Harshad Hussain
A. Absolutely. Firstly I will never understand how the Best Film is not made by the Best Director. This is a question I've got for Awards worldwide, including our country, not just the Oscars. I'm not saying I don't have any reservations about Argo, but it was certainly one of the top 5 films of 2012 to my mind and I can't imagine why Affleck didn't get nominated for Best Director!
Q. I enjoyed Ben Affleck's acceptance. Remember watching him as a young kid with Matt Damon accepting the award for Goodwill Hunting. What a journey...your thoughts? Asked by: WMT
A. Yes, watching him give his acceptance speech for Best Film today was slightly emotional because we've seen this guy grow up right before our eyes. He was like such an excited kid when Good Will Hunting was made, and here he is today, one of the world's best writer-directors. It helps that he's gorgeous! :) I kept thinking - perhaps we'll see Suraj Sharma on that stage 10 years from now. Fingers crossed!
Q. Should awards like the Oscars reflect societal changes or should it be just pristine assessment of cinematic excellence? Asked by: Shaun
A. I think actual selections for Awards should judge cinematic excellence alone. But Awards are given by human beings, so it's inevitable that they will reflect social prejudices and societal change. That's why moments such as Halle Berry winning the Best Actress Oscar are not just about a great performance being lauded but also historic for African Americans and all people across the world who have ever been oppressed!
Q. I respect Michelle Obama a lot for her grace and demeanor. Do you think it was appropriate to get her announce the best film at Oscars. I mean what is the link? Asked by: Madhumita
A. I found that a very awkward part of the entire ceremony. I admire Michelle Obama for many reasons, but it felt so wannabe. I mean, what's the connection, (like you said)? The whole point of the Academy Awards is that the industry is applauding and recognizing its own people. Michelle Obama looks great in a fitted gown but she should not have been there. Plus, that part of the show was not even smoothly handled. The gap between when the presenter at the theater tossed to her and the actual announcement (because the envelope had not yet been handed to her) reflected poor production.
Q. Ma'am, I was touched that Ang Lee said 'Namaste' - he thought it important enough and also called out to the little boy....but Jen Lawrence - didn't mention Anupam Kher - Haven't seen the movie, but was it a significant role? And did he deserve a mention? Asked by: RM
A. Yes, that was a very nice moment for us Indians. Ang Lee always comes across as being such a decent, humble man on all public platforms, so I guess we shouldn't be surprised. I don't blame Jennifer Lawrence though- simply because although Anupam Kher gets a reasonably good amount of screen time in Silver Linings Playbook, his character is not one that you come away from the film remembering. And in the final scenes of the film, he's shown repeatedly, hanging around with the family with nothing to say or do. He was made to look like a hanger-on by the editor in those scenes! Ouch!
Q. Ok...so 'Zero Dark Thirty' didn't get anything...I'm disappointed, how about you? Asked by: Maya
A. Very disappointed. I loved that film very much. I think Kat Bigelow's achievement with Zero Dark Thirty is that we all know what the outcome of the story would be because Osama Bin Laden's end is so well chronicled, but the treatment keeps us hooked. And much as I loved Argo too, I have to say ZDT was a little more well rounded in that it put a human face to Osama's people as much as the Americans and showed American cruelty too. Argo was an American film about Americans for Americans with not enough of a voice given to the Iranians - lovely film, but that's my grouse with it. And this balanced approach is one of ZDT's many strengths.
Q. Do You think Michelle Obama was the biggest surprise in 2013 oscars? Asked by: sree
A. Certainly her presence was a surprise, but it was not gasp-worthy. Do see one of my previous answers about this. It was not an "wow" moment but more of a "huh? what's she doing here?" kind of moment that I found slightly embarrassing, much as I admired her strength.
Q. Only 3 nominations from India under "Foreign film" category thus far & none of those won the award. Are our movies that bad? Or are we (FFI?) sending the wrong ones? Asked by: Manoj Joseph
A. I think we're sending the wrong movies. We forget that we should send one of our best films that would also appeal to American sensibilities and the Academy's expectations of what they would like to see from India. If you look at the only 3 Indian films to ever get nominations - 'Mother India', 'Salaam Bombay' & 'Lagaan' - you'll know what I mean. For instance, in the year that there was a big fight between 'Eklavya' & 'Dharam', they should have sent Dharam because (a) it was a beautiful film and (b) the politics of the film - Hindu-Muslim tensions in small-town India - would have been something that post-9/11 Academy Award voters would have been able to relate to.
Q. Only 2 decent acceptance speeches this year - Hathaway & Day-Lewis. Agree? Asked by: Sandeep Loyalka
A. Most of the speeches today weren't sparkling. DDL rocked it. Anne Hathaway was good but not great. I also liked the way Jennifer Lawrence said she knew people were applauding her specially because she tripped on the steps to the stage. And the Best Film team - I like the way they subtly made sure they gave the Academy the message that it was silly not to give Ben Affleck a Best Director nomination. Just for the record, if this was an Indian awards function, it's likely they would have given him some weird award like "Best Director who is above 5-feet-10-inches-tall-and-looks-good-with-a-beard Award" to coax him to be present at the event!
Q. Barfi was nominated for the Oscar this year but in that movie many scenes were copied from Charli Chaplin, Don't you think that even nomination for the same in the Oscar was utter crap and insanity by them at the Oscar Level? Asked by: Anant Jain
A. 'Barfi' was not nominated, Anant. It was sent by India as our entry for the Foreign Language category Oscar. It did not get a nomination. Even if you argue that the Chaplinesque scenes in the film were a tribute to Chaplin, there's no point in sending a film like that to the Oscars as our entry because the Academy would really be more interested in an Indian Indian film (like say Paan Singh Tomar) than a film of the sort that doesn't seem rooted in the Academy's perception of Indian culture - we have to be practical about that while making our choices, or not bother to send a film at all.
Q. I haven't seen Django yet, but do you think Robert De Niro deserved this Oscar over Waltz? Asked by: Mithil
A. Christoph Waltz is an absolute chameleon on screen. I don't think I'd argue too much with this choice though de Niro was lovely too and thank god for that because sometimes when I see him take his viewers for granted in films in recent years or embarrass himself in films like Meet the Fs, I want to tear my hair out.
Q. What according you maybe is well suited Indian actor whom you think can win Oscar if he/she were in Hollywood? Asked by: Khalid
A. Hmmm, very generalized question, so I hope you don't mind that I answer from the point of view of the Indian actors who are getting noticed internationally these days. If Irrfan plays his cards right and does not accept more roles of the sort he played in last year's Spiderman film, hopefully we will see him nominated for an Oscar in the near future.
Q. Anna, According to you which is the movie for which you had deep aversion and yet that movie get any Oscar award 2013 can you name that movie for which you had aversion? Asked by: Anant Jain
A. I didn't have an "aversion" to any of the nominated films :) But I have to admit being disappointed with the Best Director win. I felt Ang Lee should have got the Best Film and Best Director for Brokeback Mountain but instead he got Best Director alone back then. This year, I didn't think he deserved the Best Director Oscar. Life of Pi was beautiful when the story was out at sea, but the beginning and the end were awkward and it felt like it was alien territory to the director, so there's a choice I don't agree with.
Q. Indian entry should have been 'Paan Singh Tomar'. Do you agree? Asked by: Madhumita
A. If you ask me to choose between 'Paan Singh Tomar' and 'Barfi', I would definitely have chosen 'Paan Singh Tomar'. But please don't forget that there are a lot of interesting films being made in languages other than Hindi in our country and too often India's choice for Foreign Language category Oscar shows an obsession with Bollywood!
Q. Ma'am, they don't have awards for best actor on a boat and all....why do Indian awards have that? Asked by: RaiSinBran
A. Haha, yes I agree. Indian popular film Awards (not the National Awards) appear like they are trying to please everyone and offend no one. If you have a Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress and Best Supporting Actor, I don't understand the logic behind Best Actor in a Comic Role, Best Actor in a Negative Role, Best Performer, etc. These actors would in any way come under the category of Lead/Suppoting Actor/Actress. Yes, they ought to change this odd practice.
Q. Don't you agree that strong scripts and gripping narratives are not necessarily Indian cinema's strengths? A reason perhaps for us not doing well on the international stage? Asked by: Shirish
A. Good quality is not the only factor in a film "doing well" - there's also great marketing involved in the success of the big Hollywood films that come to India. Hangover 2 was an awful film that recycled the formula used in Hangover, yet look how much it earned at the worldwide box office! I'm not making excuses for Indian cinema, but do keep in mind that what we see of American cinema is usually either their best or their biggest projects. There's a lot of rubbish they make too. So yes Indian film industries need to work on quality, but not for an international stage - our film makers should improve their quality for home audiences. And quality coupled with big marketing budgets (which will happen at some stage hopefully) will open the world to us.
Q. What was your best and embarrassing moment of this Oscar Award 2013? Asked by: Anant Jain
A. Michelle Obama's appearance.
Q. I Agree with your this answer: "I didn't have an "aversion" to any of the nominated films :) But I have to admit being disappointed with the Best Director win. I felt Ang Lee should have got the Best Film and Best Director for Brokeback Mountain but instead he got Best Director alone back then. " Asked by: Anant Jain
A. Thanks :)
Q. Yoyo Anna hi, I'm hopu from parks. I am a huge fan of you. olso I am not speaking English celery goodly but please excuse me. What do you think of Mr. Day Lewis winning best actor instead of Hughe Jack Man? Asked by: Hopesh Dangal
A. I have no question in my mind that the award should have gone to Daniel Day Lewis in a category filled with great performances by some great actors. And thank you for being my "huge fan" :)
Q. Ma'am you weren't too happy with the Best Director award. Who do you think should have got it instead? Asked by: Katie
A. Among those nominated - Michael Haneke. But I'd have liked to see nominations for Ben Affleck for Argo and Kathryn Bigelow for Zero Dark Thirty.
Q. Do you think 'Life of Pi' is a little over rated to get 11 nominations, and 4 Oscars. AngLee is a good director but not the best...& yes his namaste was really cute. Asked by: Madhumita
A. I loved the portion out at sea in 'Life of Pi' (which was the largest part of the film) but the initial part with Pi's family and the narration by Irrfan and the ending didn't' work for me at all. This is not Ang Lee's best.
Q. Hi Ma'am, a quick question, what are your views about Zero Dark Thirty. I loved the effects and was hoping it would win. Don't you think it deserved an Oscar? Asked by: Katie
A. Yes. Do check my previous answers. It kept me on the edge of my seat despite the outcome, and the expression on Jessica Chastain's face right in the end when she's asked that question on the plane was just wonderful!
Q. I felt the performance of Emmanuelle in the movie Amour was better than that of Jennifer Lawrence in the movie Silver Linings Playbook. What do you think of that? Asked by: Bhartendu Vimal
A. I think the Best Actress category was much tougher than the Best Actor category - the men were all great, but i had no doubt in my mind that DDL was the best. With the ladies, I was torn between Jessica Chastain and Emmannuelle Riva, and I was leaning towards Chastain. But I'm not very upset that Jennifer Lawrence won either - hers too was a great performance though I think Chastain had the toughest role.
Q. Anglee thanked the crew in India and ended the speech with Namastey. I think it went into the heart of billions. Your take on Anglee the person and director. Asked by: sree
A. Comes across as being humble and down to earth always. It also takes my breath away that he works across genres and with each film seems like he was born to work in that genre - frankly, the only time I didn't feel that way about him was when he was handling the scenes on land in 'Life of Pi'.
Q. Hi Anna, don't you think beyond Barfi India had more deserving entries like Wasseypur and 'Paan Singh Tomar'...does commercialization overtakes commonsense even? Asked by: Deep
A. I'd have gone with 'Paan Singh Tomar', of the three films mentioned. I have to be honest: I'm not in love with the second 'Gangs of Wasseypur' film and though I liked GoW1, I think PST is the film (out of the three) that would have most fitted the Academy's expectations of a film coming from India plus it was a really nice film.
Q. Why do you think an above average film like Les Mis got 4 Oscars whereas an absolutely amazing film like Django got only 2 and Zero Dark Thirty none at all? Asked by: Piyush Sen
A. I certainly didn't understand all the Les Miserables love. But then that's also because I don't particularly like the source material for LM. Victor Hugo's story is touching and beautiful and ever-relevant, but from the time I first saw it as a musical on the London stage, I've found the music and treatment completely unappealing and dull.
Q. Do you think we will ever have someone like Satyajit Ray who won the Oscar even though all his movies were entirely Indian? Any Indians who have won in the recent past have been part of a foreign production. Asked by: Piyush Sen
A. Satyajit Ray was a great film maker but don't also forget that his films worked internationally because they often dealt with subjects that the international audience considered suitable subjects for a "Third World country" - no offence intended to his admirers. Re your second question: don't forget the number of Indians who were involved in Slumdog Millionaire.
Q. The Best actress today was perhaps a little unfair, Emmanuelle Riva deserved it. What's your take? Asked by: JAI
A. My vote would have gone to Jessica Chastain followed by Emmannuelle Riva and then Jennifer Lawrence, but it was a close contest so I'm not complaining :)
Q. If you could choose for the life story of a cricketer to be made into a film, who would you select? Who would play the role? Asked by: Anant Jain
A. Irfan Pathan ... played by Hrithik Roshan. There, I said it! :)
Q. Do you think Jennifer Lawrence is the next big thing in Hollywood? Asked by: Harsh Tiwary
A. At just 22, she's already got a body of work to be proud of. But in the post-Oscar backstage interaction, she was asked whether she's afraid she's peaked too early. She said: now I'm nervous. That's always a fear with people in the glamour business who achieve great success very young - can she keep her head on her shoulders? Will she make the right choices? Will she get distracted by the distractions that fame and showbiz throw a person's way?
Q. Did you think Argo was the best film of the year? Asked by: Pavitra
A. I preferred Zero Dark Thirty, though Argo was lovely too and extremely entertaining and felt amazingly real.
Q. Why do you think the Academy snubbed Ben Affleck for Best Director? Asked by: Ashutosh Sharma
A. Firstly I'd like to know from all Awards organizers how the director of the Best Picture winner doesn't win the Best Director. If the Best Director didn't make the Best Picture, then who did? Secondly, the Academy should either go back to having only 5 Best Picture nominations, or they should increase the number of Best Director noms to 9/10. Otherwise, on days like this, it feels like a please-all juggling act like most Indian popular awards functions.
Q. Do you think that Life of Pi is a little overrated to have been nominated in 11 and winning 4 Oscars. I mean it's a pretty good movie, and Ang Lee is really good too, but not the best director. Asked by: Madhumita
A. 'Life of Pi' is not my favorite Ang Lee film though parts of it were beautiful. But perhaps I shouldn't grumble since I felt the Academy chickened out of giving Brokeback Mountain a Best Picture Oscar because of the discomfort with the theme of gay love, so this is some sort of compensation - but no, that's not how it should work!
Q. 'Life of Pi' should have won more awards. Asked by: Sathyaki
A. It won more than I expected.
Q. Hi! Anna. Good afternoon. My Question to you is that, what are your opinions about this Oscar 2013 Awards? Why there is unexpected awards this time? Asked by: Anant Jain
A. Hugh Jackman was a far better host than Seth McFarlane. But of all the hosts I've seen in my lifetime, Billy Crystal is the best. I can't comment on Bob Hope. Today's ceremony wasn't all bad (Seth had some cheeky jokes and I love the fact that in America you are free to make Catholic-Jew jokes without being blamed for "hurting sentiments' and sparking off riots. Also, good performance by Jennifer Hudson and Adele) but it's certainly far far far from the best the Awards have been. Also, there were production glitches, some gaps and silences that should not have been there. Seth McFarlane himself was far better on Saturday Night Live than he was here today. Like I said, not all bad, but could have been much better.
Q. How surprised were you to see Ang Lee and Jennifer Lawrence win? I thought Steven Speilberg and Emmanuelle Riva had it in the bag! Asked by: Aneen Suresh
A. Very surprised to see Ang Lee. That was an upset. Not surprised to see Jennifer Lawrence win cos she's already got SAG and Golden Globe Awards for this role, but I would have personally preferred Jessica Chastain or Emmannuelle Riva to win.
Q. Why do you think an amazing film like Django Unchained only won 2 Oscars but an above average film like Les Miserables won 4? Asked by: Piyush Sen
A. Frankly, I've always wondered even at the stage success of Les Miserables - the story is moving no doubt but I find the music and treatment completely stretched and dreary and dull. Perhaps this is the difference between our Indian and Western film viewing sensibility. But also keep in mind that Django Unchained is a controversial film for the way its looked at African Americans and slavery and for the language it's used (that some people have objected to), so in that sense, Les Miserables was perhaps a safer film to give awards to. But to be fair, Django Unchained did win for its Screenplay which is a major category.
Q. Why our Indian movies are not getting any Oscar Awards? What do you think where and what are the loop-ups are in our Film Industries? Asked by: Anant Jain
A. We often choose the wrong films: films that are not good enough and / or don't appeal to American and Academy sensibilities. Plus there's too much politics and too little transparency in our selection process. And then our producers don't go and market our films aggressively the way Aamir Khan did so effectively. We mess it up for ourselves.
Q. If you have to give best director award for Oscar then instead of Anglee Whom you would like to give to that award? Asked by: Anant Jain
A. Kathryn Bigelow or Michael Haneke.

Replace bow rail
Can anyone chime in on this? Trying to raft up at the lake yesterday and some arsehole in a 35 ft comes by and creates waves that you couldnt imagine. We were fine tuning the tie up and the waves hit. Buddies boat came down on bow rail bent it up and pulled two of the arms right out of the fibergalss. Luckily that was the only damage. Fiberglass is easy to repair, but I dont know where to find a new rail for a 30 ft Oday. Doesnt need to be the same, just something sturdy. Lifeline also snapped, so I need to replace those as well (they were old anyway).
Re: Replace bow rail
Give D & R Marine a call. They specialize in O'Days, they should be able to find you something or point you in the right direction.
Good luck.
Re: Replace bow rail
keep us posted! the one on my boat has a bend down in it from when someone laid down the mast without support.
Re: Replace bow rail
Make sure whatever you get has a mounting point for these puppies
That should prevent further damage.
Did you get the name/hailing port of the passing vessel?
Re: Replace bow rail
Track down a marine consignment shop in your area - they usually have some, sometimes they have a lot of them. Good Old Boat's website has a list of them.
Re: Replace bow rail
If you can track down the offender, they should be able to be held liable for the damage they've done.. esp with witnesses.
There should be custom SS fabricators about who could make one for you, most of this work is generally done that way....
Re: Replace bow rail
Re: Replace bow rail
courtesy of NavRules Frequently Asked Questions;
10. What are the regulations concerning wake effects, wake damage, and responsibility? Regarding one's wake, vessels over 1600 Gross Tons are specifically required by Title 33 CFR 164.11 to set the vessel's speed with consideration for...the damage that might be caused by the vessel's wake. Further, there may be State or local laws which specifically address "wake" for the waters in question.
While vessels under 1600 GT are not specifically required to manage their speed in regards to wake, they are still required to operate in a prudent matter which does not endanger life, limb, or property (46 USC 2302). Nor do the Navigation Rules exonerate any vessel from the consequences of neglect (Rule 2), which, among other things, could be unsafe speeds (Rule 6), improper lookout (Rule 5), or completely ignoring your responsibilities as prescribed by the Navigation Rules.
As to whether or not a particular vessel is responsible for the damage it creates is a question of law and fact that is best left to the Courts. For more information, contact your local Marine Patrol or State Boating Law Administrator.

Are you running out of space or moving offices? Call us – 01278 453100
Dawn in Hammersmith
Buy some real office furniture bargains – some furniture is so good, it looks new!
and if you have used furniture for disposal – let us recycle it for you
What is the office furniture recycling project?
We clear out old and unused items of office furniture like desks, chairs and filing cabinets. Often when delivering new. A van can delivery your new office furniture and instead of returning empty – we take away the old. It helps you and the environment.
We refurbish and sell anything that can be used again – the purest form of recycling. Profit made here goes to our charities. www.chsw.org.uk

We have our own dedicated warehouse and workshop area to do this.
Are you a charity and need some office furniture?
– ask us about our donation scheme
Helping the Environment
In the early part of 2009 we realised that our success in supplying whole floors of new furniture to large organisations including local authorities left a growing problem of disposing of the old furniture. Much of it was being sent to landfill and we found this unacceptable. We saw it as part of the responsibility of supplying new furniture to make better provision for removing and recycling office furniture in a much more environmentally friendly way.
We set about expanding to a 7000 sq ft facility from which we can offer the service.
We have a Waste Carriers Licence
You get a Certificate of Responsible Disposal proving responsible disposal.
What does it cost?
When you are purchasing new office furniture, we will endeavour to offer this service at no charge but this will depend on a survey of your old furniture.
There may be a charge for recycling old items of office furniture depending on what it is and how much you have. Each job is assessed individually and you will need to contact us for a quote. Some items can be collected free of charge if they can be refurbished and re used.
What furniture can be recycled?
Items we may be able to recycle for no charge when delivering new.
- Modern Desks and Storage Units in lighter wood finishes (oak, beech, maple)
- Working Steel and Wooden Filing Cabinets and Cupboards
- Modern Reception Units
- Better quality working Office Chairs and Visitor Seating

2002 Grand Cherokee overheating-Help
My brothers jeep over heated today. He was in the driveway talking to someone on the phone idling for about 15 min and he said his temp gauge went up and when he popped the hood, coolant was coming out of the reservoir. I dont know the exact specs but i think its a 2002? Irfan probably knows. Anyways, im not too familiar with jeeps but i do know my way around the engine. The thermostat is opening up, i know that because the upper rad hose is getting really hot, meaning hot coolant is going into the radiator. The fan doesnt seem to turn on. I checked the fuse and it seems fine. Is there some sort of radiator temper sensor? I know on my saab and vw there was a sensor that was plugged into the radiator that controlled the fan. Any help is appreciated
Re: Over heating
woops its a grand cherokee, BPOD can you move this for me <3
Re: 2002 Grand Cherokee overheating-Help
Thanks to who ever moved it and changed the title!!
Re: 2002 Grand Cherokee overheating-Help
I hooked ya up bro...one of the WJ genuises will step in soon
Re: 2002 Grand Cherokee overheating-Help
Which engine...4.0 I6? If so, sounds like fan isn't turning on because the relay is toast. VERY common issue on WJ 4.0's....writeup is here: http://www.jeepslimited.com/index.ph...=37&Itemid=127
BTW, if you want to test the fan itself, just use a couple of leads with alligator clips to jump it with a 12V source.
Re: 2002 Grand Cherokee overheating-Help
awesome, ill take a look later today, i was planning on jumping it to make sure its not the actual fan motor. It was rotating freely when i spun it by hand
Re: 2002 Grand Cherokee overheating-Help
also, where is the best play to buy the relay? i found it on ebay for $40
Re: 2002 Grand Cherokee overheating-Help
Seems like a good price (goes for about $60 on one of the cheapest online dealer parts sources). You can get an additional 8% off if you use Bing (formerly known as Microsoft Live Search) cashback with PayPal. If you don't know what that is or how it works PM me and I'll walk you through it (it's quick, free, and Microsoft owned/operated).
Re: 2002 Grand Cherokee overheating-Help
good deal guys! Glad you got it figured out
Re: 2002 Grand Cherokee overheating-Help
Yup, most likely the fan relay. Just today my coworker said he replaced his on his wife's 2000 WJ.
Re: 2002 Grand Cherokee overheating-Help
i also had this problem on mine and hated it! i didnt change my relay on mine... all i did was change the connectors. you might want to try to see if this is the problem. to check wait till the temp heats up to 210 and if the fan doesnt turn on and goes past that temp move around the connector's wires to see if it turn on

Moving and Shaking: Transcontinental Enters Flexible Market
MONTREAL—March 11, 2014—Transcontinental Inc. has entered into a definitive agreement under which it agreed to acquire the assets of Capri Packaging, a supplier of printed flexible packaging, located in Clinton, MO, for a purchase price of US$133 million. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval in the United States. Capri Packaging is a division of Schreiber Foods, a US$5 billion employee-owned dairy company, located in Green Bay, WI.
TC Transcontinental will be acquiring two facilities in Clinton, MO, which employ close to 200 people, and generate approximately US$72 million in annual revenues. As part of the transaction, the seller, Schreiber Foods has signed a 10-year agreement to secure Capri Packaging as a strategic supplier of printed flexible packaging, which represents about 75 percent of Capri's total revenues.
"This acquisition represents an important strategic move for the Corporation into a new promising growth area," said François Olivier, president and CEO of Transcontinental Inc. "It is part of our strategy to ensure our future growth path through diversification. Over the past year we evaluated various industries where we could leverage our manufacturing competency, a great success for us in the past." He explained that they immediately identified the printed flexible packaging industry as a natural fit given that the production process is very similar to TC Transcontinental's printing operations and the market offers many growth opportunities. "We are very excited to partner with Schreiber Foods for the long term, which will provide us with a recurring revenue stream, and look forward to fostering our relationship over the coming years," he said.
"We are very pleased to enter into a long-term supply agreement with TC Transcontinental," said Mike Haddad, president and CEO of Schreiber Foods. "They are an exceptional company that brings world-class printing capabilities, dynamic leadership and decades of experience to the table. And most importantly, TC Transcontinental shares many of the same values and qualities that are core to Schreiber. We look forward to working closely with TC Transcontinental in the months ahead to ensure a smooth transition, while setting the foundation for a long-lasting friendship and partnership."

You can get your kicks on Route 66, but the scenery pales in comparison to traveling down I-81 as it winds through the Shenandoah Valley. Hit the road with this Escape to The Mimslyn Inn in Luray, Virginia, less than two hours from Washington, DC.
The historic Colonial property recently completed a multi-million-dollar tune-up to keep its spa, fitness center, and grounds polished. Its guest rooms feature pillow-top beds fitted with 300-thread-count linens as well as wireless Internet and Gilchrist & Soames toiletries.
The inn is situated between Shenandoah National Park and George Washington National Forest, so you won't be spinning your wheels in search of entertainment. Cruise along Skyline Drive to admire 105 miles of mountain scenery, or go underground to explore Luray Caverns. "In addition to monumental columns in rooms more than 140 feet high," says Frommer's, "you'll see beautiful cascades of natural colors."
If you're not the outdoorsy type, check out the many wineries and whisky distilleries in the area. You can refuel with gourmet Southern cuisine at the upscale Circa '31—open daily for breakfast and lunch and Fridays and Saturdays for dinner—or park yourself at The Speakeasy Bar & Restaurant for a nightcap and more casual fare like baby back ribs or pan-fried trout. At the end of the day, feel free to sit back in a rocking chair as stars sparkle against the clear mountain sky.
Consider this Escape your green light to hit the road to a Shenandoah haven.

Heaven help people going for expert advise to automators who are basically admitting they can not set it up to work in any real world situation involving change and complexity.
I was browsing the PlanIT website looking for their wisdom on test automation and noticed a newish whitepaper from Feb this year. It is a very old-fashioned analysis of whether/when to automate, saying in a nutshell that you should automate where there is little change to the application and/or you lack a test team with in depth knowledge of the system. It also seems to imply that a 70 to 85% pass rate is OK and those failing can be checked manually. Yuk!
Comments like "For example, the add new client function for a doctors surgery application, requires the user to fill in multiple screens such as contact details, medical history and health fund details, automating this process may be hard as the automation script needs to go through many screens which contain many combination of variables. " suggest the tools and approach used is very primative, that the assumption is that all interaction is through the GUI, and that the developers have no buy-in or involvement at all. And yet the article implies and agile environment.
Sometimes I think it's better if people know nothing about test automation when the alternative is being an expert but most of what they "know" is wrong!

A new type of 3-D printing will make it possible for the first time to rapidly prototype and test polymer membranes that are patterned for improved performance, according to Penn State researchers.
Ion exchange membranes are used in many types of energy applications, such as fuel cells and certain batteries, as well as in water purification, desalination, removal of heavy metals and food processing. Most of these membranes are thin, flat sheets similar to the plastic wrap in your kitchen drawer. However, recent work has shown that by creating 3-D patterns on top of the 2-D membrane surface, interesting hydrodynamic properties emerge that can improve ion transport or mitigate fouling, a serious problem in many membrane applications.
Currently, making these patterned membranes, also called profiled membranes, involves a laborious process of etching a silicon mold with the desired pattern, pouring in the polymer and waiting until it hardens. The process is both time-consuming and expensive, and results in a single pattern type.
"We thought if we could use 3-D printing to fabricate our custom-synthesized ion exchange membranes, we could make any sort of pattern and we could make it quickly," says Michael Hickner, associate professor of materials science and engineering, Penn State.

Ripoff Report
The Academic AdvantageChicago, Illinois USA
The Academic Advantage Horrible scam for both tutors and students Chicago Illinois
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I was drawn to this company for a chance to make my own schedule and for the 17$/hour pay. I am a graduate student so I thought I was smart enough to figure out that this wasn't a scam and to navigate the paperwork/attention to detail, etc.
Chicago Public School students needed 26 hours each to receive their laptops to be completed by June 1-June 30th, 2012. I told management as of June 1 that I would be unable to complete the required hours for each student because I was scheduled to tutor 7 students and drove from the suburbs to the south side of Chicago, sometimes tutoring 7 days a week. Between the parents' (students') schedules and mine, I realized there was no way to make this work (only one of my Chicago public students completed the full 26 hours).
I was mislead by management from the beginning and was told 'Not to worry' and just to 'try and complete as many hours as possible'. [continued below]....
Now I am having angry parents texting/calling me and asking me why their child cannot receive a laptop. I am upset and angry that I was so mislead by the management, because even though I got paid for all my hours and received all my money (after much deliberation and constant harassing of the LA staff because the Chicago office had split town after being there for a mere 2 months- go figure)- 5 of my students will not be getting laptops because we did not complete the full 26 hours, due to the fact that the management isn't up front about this policy because they don't want to 'discourage tutors from taking students'.
This company has very questionable ethics that they would try to force young kids to have a rigorous tutoring schedule in the summer, give them only 30 days to complete it and then not hold up their end of the bargain by withholding the promised laptops.
The Academic Advantage is a scam of a company and takes advantage of poor kids who have nothing, promising them a laptop as a reward for working hard and then snatching it away at the end of the month. Unfortunately this company fooled me and therefore implicated me in their abhorrent ethics so that I am having to explain to children why even though I have been promising them a laptop all month, in actuality they aren't receiving anything.
The management were constantly rude to me and gave me the run-around when I tried to breach this problem with them. I pleaded to talk to someone higher up in the company but was always given the same office staff to talk to, who were uncaring, rude and although they admitted to letting me go on like this, no recourse or apologies were made to me or any of the parents that I worked with.
To date, I am joining in a class action lawsuit against them so hopefully some justice can be served.

text: I was at Toyo's Hot Import Nights in Philadelphia, and on the way home I ended up entering the PA Turnpike with a Honda Club from NY. Anyway, there was 1 new civic, 3 worked older ones, and I believe 2 accords. These guys thought it would be fun to box in the WRX driver (me). So before they could finish, I broke free and took off up the turnpike just to get away from them. 2 of the civics came hauling up to me and one did the old turn off the headlights "i wanna race you" thing. So he took off and mind you i was smoking a nice cigar at the same time took off after him ended up doing about 130 mph and smoked his a**. I slowed down and threw on the fourways to add insult to injury. We kept that up all the way north on the turnpike for about 20 miles. All of this with a completely BONE STOCK WRX. No mods at all, no wheels, no body kit, no system, no tinted windows, just off the dealers lot.

Posted by Duncan Jones on August 12, 2010
We've all heard software reps blame "revenue recognition" and "Sarbanes-Oxley" as an excuse for not giving an extra discount or contractual concession. IT sourcing professionals may now hear "GSA Rules" and the "False Claims Act" cited as similar justification: "We didn't give that concession to the government, so we can't give it to you." Could that be the worrying unintended consequence of the Justice Department's action against Oracle: http:/searchoracle.techtarget.com/news/2240019712/US-government-sues-Oracle-for-tens-of-millions-of-dollars?
I can't comment on the details of the Oracle case, but I'm sure it is complex and two-sided. For instance, I've helped clients negotiate reasonable compromises with Oracle to handle special circumstances that won't apply to many other organizations. These may have involved an extra discretionary discount, if Oracle didn't have a programmatic way to handle the exception. I wouldn't expect to get the same concession or discount for another client to whom those special circumstances didn't apply. For example, this report describes one issue that is particularly important to public sector agencies, but whose impact varies widely: Do Your Software Contracts Permit External Use?

Tennessee Quotes
CLAUDE FELTON: We'll continue with Tennessee. Coach Pearl, opening comments on the game.
COACH PEARL: Well, I'm just I guess I'm a fan of history. You know, we've got a great history. We're celebrating 100 years of Tennessee basketball this year. We've got a terrific history. Just here recently in the SEC Tournament we've just not played it enough Saturdays, and we've not played it enough Sundays.
I'm proud of our fans for traveling. What a beautiful place this is for the SEC Tournament. I think our kids are enjoying it. It's postseason. And I think our kids are enjoying being here, and they certainly played like it tonight.
I liked the basketball that we put on the floor. We played hard. We played unselfishly. We had great leadership for our veterans Tyler Smith, and J.P. Prince, and Wayne Chism.
Q. Did just losing to Alabama a few days ago get you even more psyched up for this game, or was this more about being in the tournament and wanting to do well in the tournament do you think?
Tyler Smith: I think it's more about our seed that we wanted to worry about. If we come in and play these three games the way we want to, we'll be up in the top seed which is what we're looking for.
I mean, it's always human nature to say that they beat us at home and ruined our Senior Night. But it was just something that we came out and wanted to prove to ourselves, not to them.
J.P. Prince: I think we wanted to come out and play harder. We didn't give our best effort on Sunday. Coach always tells us these people travel a long way, they spend a lot of money to come see us play, so we need to show them the right game. We came out and played Tennessee basketball, and tried to show the fans the support they show us by traveling so far.
Q. Right out the gate, 20 seconds into the game you've got a steal and a dunk. Just want to ask you how much you guys set the tone in transition tonight?
J.P. Prince: I think we really wanted to set the tone on defensive rebounds. That's what Coach told us. Control the board and play good half court defense, you have a good chance to win the game. When it started off, we had a good scout, Ty caught the switch and got the steal and got the easy bucket.
Q. Looked like before the game that Alabama might have come through your warm ups a little bit. You seemed to get a little fired up?
Tyler Smith: You're paying attention to all of that?
Q. What happened to Florida, are you going to have somebody run into you before every game?
Tyler Smith: They need to start doing that. But I think we were warming up, and he just run through the middle of our lines, and that's something like we wouldn't do that to anybody else. Because we feel like that's disrespecting a team. Us warming up and them trying to come in our way. But it was just something that added to it, and we just tried to come out and play our ball.
Q. It seemed like almost every transition bucket in the first half there was somebody streaking ahead and you found them. It seemed really easy. You made it look easy, and you were always looking ahead. How easy was it because it looked easy from where we were?
J.P. Prince: I have to give my credit to the teammates. They ran the floor hard. Coach told us, he said run. Beat them in transition, they were kind of lazy getting back. We got some easy looks. We ran hard and we finished at the hole.
CLAUDE FELTON: We'll excuse the student athletes. Thank you. Questions for Coach Pearl.
Q. Is there anyway you saw this one coming like this, that there would be that big of a lead and that much on both sides of the ball?
COACH PEARL: No, we were concerned about 40 minutes of 2 3 zone that was going to be very stationery and very packed in. And it was important that we scored in transition in this game. The way you get that is by playing defense and rebounding it.
We didn't think we could get down the floor and advance past it. Sometimes when you play against zone, you walk it up. We really didn't want to do that. We made the easy advance pass. The second and third passes. I thought our five man did a nice job running the floor. It opened up the wings. And they played very unselfishly. There were a lot of extra passes. 20 assists was very, very significant.
Q. Sometimes, often times after you've won or lost games you've explained it about match ups, some favorable some not. Alabama's a team you think well you wouldn't match up that well against, but you really played well against?
COACH PEARL: One of the things that was a concern, first half we were 1 for 14 from the three, and we were still 4 for 24 from three. And probably 20 to 24 were good looks.
So our three point shooting has got to continue to improve. Because J.P. Prince and Tyler are very difficult to cover off the bounce. And we've got, I don't know how many points we had in the paint, but 60 points in the paint today. That's against a really big, physical Alabama team. And I think that more had to do with us in transition, and also the spacing in our zone offensive attack was good.
We did a better job on the foul line. We didn't miss 15 free throws or whatever we missed last time we played.
Q. You sell tickets with offence, you win championships with defense. The phrase that comes to my mind is you defended like there was no tomorrow. Was that basically what it was like?
COACH PEARL: It was. It was. And you've got against Alabama, they make one on one plays. If you look' they had four assists in the game on 22 baskets. One on one, Gee, Hillman, Torrance, posting up Jamychal Green. You can't guard them one on one. So our emphasis was really team defense. Rarely did a guy put the ball down the floor or help wasn't some place very, very nearby.
Then from our defense we created a great deal of offense.
Q. Just about it appeared that there was a very aggressive mindset. Was it focus? Was that something that you made an issue out of? There were warnings for you being too close to the court, J.P. fouled. It seemed you were aggressive tonight?
COACH PEARL: The court's tight. It's really, really tight. And I don't have very good wheels, so I'm not a very good kneeler. So I'm usually up. Between the bench and the sideline, and the playing, there's only about a foot and a half space in there. So the coaches' box was pretty narrow.
Q. You noted the 20 assists and you had ten players that played scoring. How big was the distribution of the basketball in winning tonight, and how big is it going to be throughout the rest of the tournament?
COACH PEARL: We played best when everybody contributes. If you look at our stat line since we lost at Kentucky where we did not make the extra pass, we've done that. We were pretty with great consistency. And so I think the team is playing together on both ends of the floor. How well we're playing, I think it depends on the match ups and what the match ups bring up.
We pressed more tonight. We tried to speed Alabama up a little bit and certainly tried to wear them out a little bit with full court pressure. We didn't turn them over in full court pressure. Though they did have 18 turnovers. But it was enough just to wear them out a little bit and to see if they could hand us a few.
Q. When you sub, your personality almost changes completely with each sub. You don't get worse you get better a lot of times. Is that a real advantage for you coaching?
COACH PEARL: It is. When J.P. Prince came off the bench last year, it was like bringing another starter off the bench. You know, we've got a good thing going as far as like Bobby Maze and Josh Tabb. Bobby Maze gets in foul trouble, and Josh Tabb comes in and plays a lot of the first half. Doesn't turn a ball over at all in the game.
That's really solid. Plays good defense. And then Bobby Maze comes back and makes the first basket in the second half after sitting there and watching the action.
Cameron Tatum and Scotty Hopson, we tried to play nine or ten. And between those two guys can you be the best player on the floor? That's hard when you go up against a talented player like Gee. I thought that our guys did a good job with their minutes.
And we're going to keep them fresh. That's why I think one of the things about our teams over the years is because we're committed to the depth, you're able to win championships.
It's a long season. And if you've got one guy that you're counting on every single night, they get tired. And if they get injured, you're in trouble. We'd like to think we've got too many weapons.
Q. Could you just couple words about Florida and Auburn. Don't know who you're going to play, but what each team might present?
COACH PEARL: Well, you know, can we beat Florida three in a row? I don't know. I mean, it's almost too difficult to think about. Because what you do is you play your hand. Okay, then you've got to play your hand again. What hand do we play when it's pretty much been somewhat successful.
I'm just every time I take the court against Florida when we can be competitive, it's just an honor because they're such a great program. Billy Donovan, you know, is one of the very, very best in the country.
I'm really happy for Jeff Lebo and the job he's done at Auburn. I thought they'd be good with all those seniors and veterans. Those kids paid their dues. They're one of the toughest, most physical, hard nosed team we've played against. They will just flat out hit you in the mouth. You've got to be ready for that.
We lost at the buzzer at Auburn this year in a really good basketball game. And that was the start, I think one of the key wins for Auburn them taking off the rest of their season. And so either way, you know, we know that we've got a team that we can play with. A team we know if we play well we can beat. And they're very, very different teams. Very, very different teams.
But our guys got a pretty good feel, obviously, for both of them.
Q. It seeps like this time of year everyone's emphasis is to qualify for the NCAA Tournament and to do well if you can qualify. But Tennessee hasn't won SEC Tournament in 30 years. If you can get a couple more victories, how big of a milestone will that be for your program?
COACH PEARL: Just right now we'd like to try to get one on Saturday and see if we have an opportunity to play in a championship. Obviously, take one at a time. As we celebrate 100 years of Tennessee basketball history, we're trying to build something here.
Certainly, you know, when you win these things it's almost as much for your fans as it is for anything. But I think right now we've got to focus on Auburn and Florida. And the things we've got to do tonight and tomorrow to get ready to continue to advance.
Q. Whether it's Auburn or Florida, they're not going to be able to get their kids in bed until 2:00 in the morning. How big an advantage is it for you playing the early game and getting some kids some rest?
COACH PEARL: Who says our kids are going to be in bed before 2:00 o'clock in the morning? I don't know what an advantage is. It's a couple of hours is all. I don't think that will be a factor.
Q. Because of Tennessee's history in this tournament long before you arrived, is it more meaningful to you the fact that Tennessee was so dominant tonight more than the fact that you just won the game?
COACH PEARL: As it relates to our dominance, I think it was more meaningful that the NCAA selection committee is watching. Tyler talked about seeding. He wasn't talking about the SEC seeding, he was talking about the tournament. We've talked about that all year long. And the key to advancing is to get a good seed. Right now our seed is going to be just okay.
We'd like to try to keep winning to try to improve our seed, which gives you the best chance to advance in the tournament so I was very interested to hear Tyler say tonight's win was more about seeding than anything else. Yes, certainly. You know, we like to play for a championship, and I'm just really glad our fans don't have to go home tonight.
Q. Did you want your team to learn any lessons from the Alabama loss? It seemed like they just came out very relaxed tonight and maybe it was a huge em pa sis on anything or not?
COACH PEARL: I think at this point it's been long. For everybody, it's been a long season. You know, we've played 30 games now. Sort of been there done that. We've taken advantage of opportunities, and there have been some opportunities that were presented to us that we did not take advantage of.
I think at this time of the year your backs are up against the wall, you lose. You don't play well, you go home. If our defense and our rebounding can continue to hold up, we can continue to advance.
Alabama Quotes
CLAUDE FELTON: Coach Pearson, a couple of opening comments on the game.
COACH PEARSON: Well, obviously, it was a tough and difficult ball game for us. I felt like Tennessee did a really nice job. Give them a lot of credit. From a defensive standpoint, an offensive standpoint. I thought they got off to a great start early in the game.
Got us back on our heels a little bit. We recovered there a little bit before the half. And a little bit like our game last night with Vanderbilt. Thought the first four or five minutes of the second half would be critical just as they are in about every basketball game.
To Tennessee's credit, they came out and threw another punch or two. And we just weren't able to recover from that point. Awfully proud of our guys, certainly these two, and those guys in the locker room for the way they've hung in there in a difficult circumstance, trying situation. I think our guys have really done a nice job with it. Awfully proud of them, and we'll move forward.
Q. Did Tennessee do anything differently on Sunday than they did on Sunday? Were they just executing better? What was the difference?
ALONZO GEE: I thought they just came ready to play. They were physical the whole game. They were just ready to play tonight.
Q. Could you comment on J.P. Prince's play tonight?
ALONZO GEE: I think he played pretty good. He was very aggressive tonight. He did a lot of things out there to help them win.
Q. As the game was ending and you were sitting on the bench, if you could take me through what you were thinking, watching? You know, you probably played your last game, what was going through your head?
ALONZO GEE: It was a lot, you know? It was tough to lose this game, but I think my teammates, they played strong in the end. We just couldn't win.
Q. They seemed to be able to get the ball inside, you know, real deep when you guys were especially in the first half. What were they doing well to get the ball in so deep? How did they kind of handle your zone?
JAMYCHAL GREEN: I mean they had Tyler Smith in the middle. They had a couple of people running baseline. So that's how they led the bottom inside.
Q. Can you talk about just the season and what did you learn? I mean there is a lot that happened, what did you learn and take away from this season?
ALONZO GEE: I learned a lot. Coach Pearson helped me out a lot, just to stay focused and stay mentally and physically ready for everything I do in practice and games and everything. So I learned a lot.
I took a lot from this season. My teammates helped me out this year. So I've learned a lot.
Q. It was your first year, just talk about what you expect the difference from your first year to your second year to be coming up?
JAMYCHAL GREEN: Well, first off, I'm going to get stronger. I'm going to go in the weight room and get something to expand my game. Just hope for a better outcome next year.
CLAUDE FELTON: We'll continue with questions for Coach Pearson.
Q. Now that the season's likely over, how can you reflect on this experience for you and how it's all gone?
COACH PEARSON: Well, it's been a very unique experience. It will probably take a few days for this all to sink in. I'm very proud of the way our players have performed. I've told them in the locker room over the last six to eight weeks.
You know, when this whole thing happened and we had three out of four on the road to start with, and three difficult games. We were in a game or two there that we lost early on. We had the tough loss at home with South Carolina. I just am real proud of the way our guys hung in there with our coaching staff and with each other. I felt like we had a really good finish to the year. Very proud of that. I think I was 5 out of 7 after tonight. But some good wins in there. I thought we played some very good basketball down the stretch.
Q. As they were kind of building their lead in the first half, did you consider changing defenses and what was coming to mind as they built that up?
COACH PEARSON: Yeah, we just played them here in the last week. We felt like the way to defend them was with the zone. We were better geared to defend them in that manner. Whether we were man or zone, it felt like the key to the game from a defensive standpoint outside of transition defense would be our ability to contain the dribble or contain the ball.
They were able to get too many penetrating opportunities that led to easy baskets, easy shots in the paint. They made a few jumpers off the penetration. I thought that was real key for them.
Q. You know these guys as well as anybody. Do you feel the pieces are in place for whoever the coach is going to be next year?
COACH PEARSON: I think so. When you look across the locker room and you look at a guy that I think has really come along the second half of the year, Mikhail Torrance. He was I thought outstanding last night.
And wasn't as good tonight. But I think he's a guy that's got a lot of things people like. He's got athleticism, size, and experience. And a little more success maybe as an individual. I think that he can build on.
Andrew Steele can do some nice things, and Hillman is a great athlete. Obviously, Jamychal Green is on the all freshman team. Anybody in our league would like to have him on their roster, I can assure you.
The other post players, Justin Knox has had some bright moments and certainly Demetrius and Yamene Coleman. So there are enough guys in that locker room that if led in the right direction they can have some success.
Q. Tennessee may not be the best basketball team in the country, but 1 through 8 is there a more athletic and long team than Tennessee?
COACH PEARSON: I don't know around the country. But certainly within our league, I think you would probably have to cast a vote for them. Just as you said, they're very long, very athletic. Certainly I thought they came out as a very focused basketball team tonight.
I thought outside of us containing the basketball, I thought that their defensive pressure and it wasn't necessarily the pressing sort of nature, but it was the even in the half court, they really guard us and defend us well in the half court.
Q. You made no bones about as an assistant wanting to be a head coach. Then obviously this is probably not the way you wanted to get the head coaching job. But nonetheless, what did you learn from this and what are we going to see Phillip Pearson do in the future, very near future?
COACH PEARSON: I don't know. We'll see what happens. I haven't had a chance to think about it. I think the pregame meal doesn't go down quite as well. But from a basketball standpoint for me, it's been a lot of fun. Certainly everything we've probably tried, it didn't work.
I think there are things that have. The practices have been fun, the relationships with the players. You know, we've done a lot of different things. We've had officials come in two or three different times. So it's been a learning experience for them. It's been one for me, too. And hopefully something that awe all can build on.
Q. They seem to really, particularly early on, pressure Mikhail and knock him out of what he was able to do last night. Y'all weren't able to recover from that offensively?
COACH PEARSON: No, again, I felt like they got some transition baskets I thought early in the game. They were geared and ready to play the game, and certainly they should be. We got down six or eight or ten there, and we were fighting an uphill battle. I did everything as a result of their pressure I didn't think we were able to get into any flow offensively that we have in some other games.
For example, last night I thought Mikhail was great with the ball screen. But tonight Tennessee did a much better job of defending that.
Q. Washington, studying them on video any time this year, have you ever seen them play any better defensively or be more effective inside offensively and aggressively going to the basket?
COACH PEARSON: I thought their defense was obviously very good. You know, again, I thought that the way they got the ball at the basket wasn't as much of throw it to the wing and post feed it in there.
It was off penetration, I felt like. We gave up ten offensive rebounds in the first half. Obviously I gave them a chance to capitalize on some easy shots around the basket.

Andrew Roraback Still Covering Up Republican Agenda
After travelling up to New Hampshire during the primary to be seen with Mitt Romney, Republican Andrew Roraback was now too afraid to be seen with Paul Ryan during the VP nominee's visit to Connecticut. Roraback has openly embraced the Romney-Ryan ticket and called their plan for the economy his own, but now Roraback is hiding from Ryan in a desperate attempt to cover up his support for their Tea Party agenda.
Roraback even went so far as to admit last week that he would put all options on the table for Social Security and did not make an exception for privatization.
"More desperation from Republican Andrew Roraback – now he's afraid to appear with Paul Ryan even though he's called the Romney-Ryan plan for the economy his own," said Stephen Carter of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. "After Andrew Roraback said during the primary that he would represent the Tea Party if he got to Congress, Roraback now desperately wants voters to forget. But no matter how much he cover it up, it's clear that Roraback has embraced the Republican plan for the economy and would join the Tea Party Republicans in this Congress."
Roraback Called the Republican Economic Plan "Our Plan." At a Hartford press conference following the Republican National Convention, Roraback claimed that "I think that because the economy is so central to the discussion we're having as a nation and because, I think, our plan is a much better plan than that which is being offered by the other side." [CT-N, 8/31/12]
Roraback Said He Agreed with the Tea Party's Fiscal Policies. In a July 2012 primary debate, Roraback told the audience, "on fiscal matters, there would be many opinions that I would share with members of the Tea Party Caucus." [Brookfield Republican Town Committee Debate, 7/30/12]
Roraback Would Look at Privatization to Solve the Social Security Crisis. Last week, Roraback admitted that he was open to all options for people currently under the age of 50. "For individuals under the age of 50, we have to look at all of the options and we need to have a discussion that's not predicated on securing partisan advantage, but that's predicated on solving a problem for all of us." [Roraback Press Conference, 9/26/12]
Roraback travelled to New Hampshire to See Romney. Roraback wrote an op-ed for the Danbury News Times, titled "Romney and history," supporting Romney's Presidential campaign and describing "how fortunate" he felt to be in New Hampshire "to witness" Governor Romney's primary victory. He also described Romney as "uniquely well equipped to lead us to real and solutions and a brighter future for us all." [Danbury News Times, 1/5/12]
Roraback Did Not Attend Paul Ryan's Connecticut Country Club Event. Yesterday, Republican fifth congressional district candidate Andrew Roraback failed to attend his party's Vice Presidential candidate's event in Darien, CT citing, "scheduling conflicts." [Associated Press, 9/30/12]

Corporate Advocacy Program™
My daughter up until Friday of this past week was an employee of your company out of the Ventura County office in Oxnard, CA (Joanne) and Ventura, (Petit Street) and I have heard numerous stories pertaining to these two locations. In the Ventura (Petit street) house you have young lady barley 20 years old as the supervisor, (Brittney) who doesnt know her butt from a whole in the ground and takes pleasure in those that are released of their duties and my daughter was the victim of this shoddy operated houses. About two weeks ago there were two residences that were transferred in from another house. These two clients were severely disabled and took a lot of special care. The employees of the Petit and Joanne house are not trained to handle these exceptional people, and were understaffed, causing neglect to take place in the Petit street house and yet had one of them pass away, while another one was sent back to the home she had lived most of her life, as she wasnt eating. At the time these clients were in the house there were only two on staff at a time and therefore were unable to keep control of the other residence that required constant care. My daughter was devoted to her clients and loved being there for them and did a fine job. But according to her supervisor Albert she was dismissed due to hear say of one of the other staff members observing her so called misjudgments. It wasnt because she failed at her duties as a caregiver but because she was observed on her cell phone on various occasions, changed her clothes just prior to leaving the house and supposedly gossiping on the house phone. She was never warned independently of these disciplinary problems before she was dismissed. She was never given the chance to change these so called poor behaviors. She was declared guilty without a trial, by your incompetent staff. There was obviously a stoolie amongst her coworkers and you know how people feel about stoolies.
This isnt a easy job and not everyone can do it, and when you get an employee who is willing to do the work when the pay is so low, they need to rethink those that they dismiss, for minuscule reasons. This is only the beginning I am just getting started.

Travel Blogs from Panama City Beach
... to enjoy life because these moments don't come around twice. And in the end I had so many people complimenting on how I looked. After swimming we went out to dinner at a German restaurant. It was a cool atmosphere but I was just so tired after only having 3 hours sleep. So I was thankful when I got to bed by 10:30pm. I fell in love with Panama City Beach and I'm sad to leave ...
Panama City, Florida
... the bigger city of Tallahassee a skip, in favour of a small coastal city called Panama City (not to be confused with Panama the country). We left after lunch at about 1pm and made our way to a place we had no idea what to expect.
We arrived around 7pm and liked what we saw, a quiet town (population 72,000 so the city limits sign told us) with some great little pubs, restaurants and of course amazing beaches. That night we chose to stay ...
Second full day
The day started at breakfast. Rice Krispies believe it or not, nice English cereal! Had to be on the bus to leave New Orleans for 7.45am. Had to wait an hour on the bus as one girl had a few drinks the night before bless her and forgot her alarm but we found her in the end and got going. We then set off for Panama beach! Couple of hours later we stopped have way in Alabama!! Sweet ...
... late on the first night, so went with Leah's parents to a bar overlooking the beach. Was so picturesque, and we watched the sun set over the buildings. Day 1 = beach. And we sunned it up straight away. By the evening we were solidly burned, my feet got hit bad and Leah got a nasty burn on her face. But we didn't care, it was so nice to just sit and sun it up!! Leah and me cooked up a storm (well, a buffet of random stuff!) and all in all was a ...
Last day at topsail
We have really enjoyed topsail hill, pretty centrally located, bike riding and mostly private beach access. Plus lakes, kayak and canoe rentals, tall pines to camp under and great staff. Today is red and purple flag day again so no beach. Hit the pool, did some bike riding ...

Jul 9, 2013 - Mike Lieberman, General Santos City, PhilippinesEditor:
No, Mr. Obama, I do not trust the checks and balances in the federal government to abstain from abusing a 'surveillance' database treasure trove. And even if -- and that's a big "if" -- you and your government doesn't abuse it, those who come after you will.
The simple presence of the database is wrong. It should not be and it needs to be erased entirely.
You and those around you are unlikely to do it. Congress is unlikely to do it... and it takes two-thirds of Congress to pass the enabling legislation to initially start a new amendment process.
If we start at the state level and enough states pass the needed legislation we don't just get an amendment, we get a constitutional convention, which neither you nor I want.
But ... having a government with the database you have created is intolerable.
Therefore I propose that we start a call for a constitutional convention and run it up to just one fewer than the needed number, with the proviso that it will be abandoned if an amendment is proposed by Congress to do away the raw a "surveillance database" for all time.
We need to make sure the constitution kills off Big Brother.
