Council interviews attorneys
The Crosslake City Council held a public meeting Jan. 18 where it interviewed three candidates for city attorney.
Brad Person of Breen and Person, Robert Scott of Flaherty and Hood, and Lonny Thomas of Thomas Law all made presentations and answered council meeting questions.
Common questions included familiarity with shoreline laws, how the firm will communicate with the city and availability to attend meetings.
Familiarity with shoreline rules and regulations and other aspects of planning and zoning were perhaps the most prevalent questions the council asked attorneys.
Rates and profiles for the firms varied. Thomas has offices in both Crosslake and Baxter. His letter to the council listed that he works with one other attorney and two paralegals. Were he to become Crosslake's attorney, Crosslake would be the only municipality he represents. He bills at $215 an hour, and said he prices himself at the top of the local market, remarking that when clients are offered discounts, they often don't receive the attorney's priority.
Scott's letter to the council listed that his general municipal services would be billed at $110 an hour, though other services had higher prices. Scott's firm, Flaherty and Hood, is a large firm that began as a lobbying firm and represents many cities in greater Minnesota.
Person has a Crosslake office and represents both Pillager and Baxter. He bills at $125 an hour, which is a discount from his non-municipal clients, which are billed at $200 an hour.
The Lake Country Echo reported in December that Person met with the mayor, council members and two council members-elect. Person is not an approved city attorney.
This raised questions at the December council meeting over the Open Meeting Law.
Council member Steve Roe addressed the issue during Person's interview. Roe asked for Person's interpretation of the Open Meeting Law, requesting that he give examples of violations.
Person named the standard violation of the Open Meeting Law, when elected officials meet in groups without public notice to talk about public business.
"If you're referring to the article in the paper, I disagree pretty completely," Person said.
The council did not select an attorney at the Jan. 18 meeting, but chose to wait and give council members time to think about the interviews.

At the Hermitage, the crowds were gathering despite the torrential rain and we tried to discover which queue to join to purchase our tickets. Those with umbrellas queued outside whilst Louise and I tried our luck with the one automated ticket machine – all instructions in Russian but fortunately the polite and patient young girl behind us was Russian and helped us with the transaction. Armed with tickets, we dripped our way into the Hermitage. Now, about the Hermitage – I won't dwell on its' 3,000,000 contents, I will merely say GO THERE!!!! Here is a URL
Rather than describing the museum and its contents' I will spend a paragraph on our reactions. Now I'm sure everyone is familiar with that feeling one gets when in a museum, one gets sated and tires and then the only thing that can get your attention is something out of the ordinary, everything else gets skipped. Well here we didn't, as absolutely everything was extraordinary, the rooms , the sculptures, the paintings ( for instance 33 Picassos in one room!!!) and everything else
We managed to persuade a taxi to take all 5 of us (illegal) back to the hotel in time to refresh ourselves and for a bite to eat (more beer but not too much as we had a performance to watch), then another taxi to the theatre. Louise, bless her, was beside herself but it wasn't long before the curtains were up and we were into the ballet – 'The Fountain of Bakhchisarai' by Boris Asayev, dating from 1934 and based upon a poem by Pushkin, written between 1821 and 1823. The story was about a young Polish girl, Maria who had her whole family, including her fianc�,killed by a gang of marauding Tatars led by Khan Ghirei and who was taken back to his harem in the palace of Bakhchisarai. There, Khan Ghirei's favourite wife Zarema, saw that the Khan was infatuated with his Polish captive. Eventually, she kills Maria, is executed herself and the story ends with the Khan, inconsolable, by the 'Fountain of Tears' built in memory of Maria. Great stuff, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience and completely exhausted, we walked back to the hotel for a reviving G&T – the girls ended up singing 'Doh a deer, a female deer' a 12:30 in their room but fortunately no neighbours complained!

Egypt's Morsi may take measures after deadly clashes
The President's warning came 2 days after clashes had erupted between Brotherhood members and opponents demonstrating in Moqattam.
Cairo: In a stern warning to the opposition, Egyptian President Muhammed Mursi said on Sunday that he may be close to taking unspecified measures to "protect this nation", days after deadly clashes took place between Muslim Brotherhood supporters and protesters.
"If I have to do what is necessary to protect this nation I will, and I am afraid that I may be close to doing so," Mursi said in a speech at the opening session of a conference on women's rights.
"I will do so very, very soon. Sooner than those trying to shake the image of this nation think," said the Islamist leader.
"Let us not be dragged into an area where I will take a harsh decision," he warned.
The President's warning came two days after clashes had erupted between Brotherhood members and opponents demonstrating near the Brotherhood Guidance Bureau's headquarters in Moqattam. More than 200 people were injured in the clashes. Mursi said he would not allow more Egyptian blood to be shed.
Describing the ongoing violence in several governorates between Muslim Brotherhood supporters and opponents, Mursi said, that it had "nothing to do with the revolution, but is violence, riots and attacks on public and private properties".
"All Egyptian blood is precious," Mursi tweeted today. Political groups had called for protests on Friday to condemn events that took place at the headquarters last week, when a group of Brotherhood members attacked reporters and photographers while covering protests in front of the headquarters.
"Peaceful demonstration is a right for all," Mursi said, refusing to describe the events as part of the revolution, but instead termed them a "riot".
Mursi called on all political groups "not to provide any political cover for acts of violence and riot". Mursi said that he "will not be happy" if investigations prove to "condemn some politicians".
"State bodies are recovering and are able to deter violators," the President said.
"Legal measures will be taken against those who are proved to be involved in violence, whether politicians or media outlets," he warned.
Mursi vowed to take action against politicians "disregarding their standing", adding that some used media outlets to instigate violence. He stressed that instigators would not escape punishment. "Instigators are participants in the crime," he said.

On the Olive Peirce Middle School campus, there is a class where on any given day when you walk in you feel the creativity and energy.
There might be kids crowded around a table deep in brainstorming while others are huddled by a computer putting the last touches on the video they are producing. Whatever they are engrossed in, one is sure to find Sergio Estrada's video production students working — and smiling.
"It's like a huge family. We are all awesome video production buddies and it is a good feeling to work with great people every day. And Mr. Estrada is awesome. He is the perfect middle school teacher because he just gets us and all our quirky behavior," said eighth-grader Ava Anderson, who hopes to have a career in film one day.
Estrada is especially pleased with his crew this year. They have recently been nominated for a record seven Innovative Video in Education (IVIE) awards and will be competing against several other middle schools in the county on May 25 for the coveted award.
"Having a video nominated at all is an accomplishment in itself," said Estrada. "Especially when you consider that there are so many schools submitting excellent work. The competition is fierce. The fact that we were recognized for seven videos is pleasantly overwhelming and I am so very proud of my students."
This year's nominees and categories are: "Scientific" (Science and Math) by Ava Anderson, Jake Hitchcock and Daniel Fieger; "Recycling" (Man—Environmental Public Service Announcement) by Ian Hopperton, Nick Bates and Leah Lebrun; "Go Green Or Else" (Environmental Public Service Announcement) by Karl Sapper, Andrew Kaminski and Christa Gregory; "Silent Sustained Reading at OPMS" (Broadcast Journalism) by Kanoa Stephens, Casey Travis, and Kevin Park; "Stop the Cyber Bullying" (Public Service Announcement) by Ava Anderson, Sophie Proctor and Lilia Baldaulf; "An Ironic Twist" (Language Arts/Humanities) by Chris Heredia, and Armando Romero; and "Grammar Man" (Language Arts/Humanities) by Lilia Baldauf, Kevin Park and Levi Vermeulen.
"The whole class just exploded when we found out the nominations. We were really excited," said eighth-grader Karl Sapper whose video on recycling uses his little sister as one of the actors and was inspired by an ad he saw during the Super Bowl.
According to Estrada, making it into the competition can be a task in itself, so they work hard to produce award-worthy pieces, starting with the basic elements of a story.
"With video, the technology is always changing, so learning to use the equipment is a must, but even so it is only a small part of my focus," said Estrada. "I try and place a huge emphasis on having the students understand and be able to use the elements that make a good story. You can have all the best special effects or great songs you want in a video or film, but, if the story is weak, the video is weak. So the key is in how are they going to capture the attention of their audience and how are they going to present their story, their message, etc? I hold my students to high expectations in this regard and they always seem to deliver. As a result they learn not to settle for good enough but rather to always strive to do the best possible job they can do."
Anderson's two videos, for example, started with the basic building blocks of a story and grew from there.
"It was kind of difficult coming up with the ideas," she said. "We had our shot sheet, which is where we do a preview of what we wanted to do, and we were trying to come up with a good video. Our 'Scientific' video is a parody of a rap song but instead we made it into a rap about the science standards. It's really entertaining and funny and our 'Cyber Bullying' video was tough to create because we had to do silent acting and we kept on laughing a lot."
Sometimes this type of effort means working overtime.
"Whether they're working on a video for an IVIE submission or a video for the OPT class, my students always work very hard to make sure their productions are the best that they can be," said Estrada. "This often means re-shooting, working through lunch periods, breaks and so on. Being nominated validates to them that all their hard work pays off. They develop a work ethic which becomes a value they can take with them wherever they go in the future."
Estrada, who has been teaching the course for seven years, says with each year the students seem to inspire the next. While he has had IVIE nominations in the past and one win, it has never been this many. He attributes that to his students' creativity.
"We have the same technology, same cameras, same computers, but it's the fresh ideas that the kids bring every year that make the program so exciting," he said. "As long as they are allowed to express their individuality, the program will grow because each year's students bring something new to OPT."
IVIE Award night will be held in the San Diego Civic Theatre. Estrada and his students will walk down the Red Carpet at 5 p.m., and the ceremony will start at 6.
"It was a big relief finishing our video and knowing that we accomplished what we set out to do," said Sapper. "It's awesome to see it come to life on the big screen and, win or lose, it's a big honor — mind blowing."
Win or lose, Estrada is just proud of OPMS being in nearly every category.
"I love my job," he said. "I get to see young minds discover a potential they sometimes never knew they possessed. I can't wait to see where they go in the future. But wherever they go, I have no doubt they are going to rock the world on many levels."
His students believe they are in for a win.
"I have a feeling," said Anderson. "I think we just might get something. That's my goal, that someone from our class wins."
After the event, videos and a list of winners may be seen on the IVIE website, www.ivieawards.org.

Harry Potter actress' brother pleads guilty to assault
Her father Abdul and brother Ashraf were said to have argued with the Muslim star, 22, after overhearing her on the phone to her Hindu boyfriend, demanding that she end the relationship. The argument reportedly escalated and turned violent, with the pair threatening to kill the actress.
Azad later begged prosecutors to drop the death-threat charges against her father and brother and they were both cleared at Manchester Crown Court, England this week. The actress did not attend, reports Contactmusic. However, Ashraf pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm and has been bailed until sentencing on 21 January (10).
Ashraf, who was warned by the judge he could face jail time, has been banned from contacting his sister and from travelling to London, where she now lives. Judge Roger Thomas QC told him, "Domestic violence can result, even for a man such as you, in imprisonment."

Two Pick-6's Doom Storm to 62-34 Defeat
Things have certainly changed since the last time the Storm played Philadelphia. Tampa Bay lost its fifth in a row after an April 4 win over the Soul, getting handled 62-34 in Philly on Saturday night.
It was a one-point game at halftime before Philadelphia scored back-to-back interception returns. The first saw James Romain intercept B.J. Hall and then lateral to teammate Joe Goosby. Hall would be picked by Brandon Perkins who made it 42-27.
Hall struggled to a 13-for-29 performance while starting for the injured Randy Hippeard, who is expected to miss at least one more game.
Joe Hills had three TD catches for the Storm, including a 11-yarder with just :12 left in the half to pull Tampa Bay within 28-27.
Earlier Rod Isaac caught teammate Darius Payne's deflection for an interception TD that got the Storm back in the game after falling behind 21-6.
The Soul have won five-of-six since falling to 0-3.

Odyssey Hazard V3 Cassette Hub RHD 12T Gold
The Odyssey Hazard V3 Cassette is the latest version of the legendary Hazard cassette that has been developed over 10 years and has become a industry standard. You can bet most of the features you have come to expect on a good cassette were on one of these first (OK maybe not female axles but still).
- 4130 Cromo Axle - Strong axle with a 6mm hex fitting either end to help you out when removing cone nuts etc.
- Aluminium Shell - Runs on 4 large bearings.
- Angled Flanges - Better spoke alignment makes the wheel much stronger and the flanges are less likely to bend in.

Bettors Settle on Smarty Jones as Favorite
The crowd at Churchill Downs has established Smarty Jones as the Kentucky Derby (gr. I) favorite. In the advance wagering at 2:30 p.m.--with post time at 6:04--Smarty Jones is the 4-1 choice.
The crowd at Churchill Downs has established Smarty Jones as the Kentucky Derby (gr. I) favorite. In the advance wagering at 2:30 p.m.--with post time at 6:04--Smarty Jones is the 4-1 choice.
When a horse wins a race at a particular distance, oftentimes the horse is labeled as a runner only suitable for that certain distance. Usually, this generalization is not justified; that horse can win at many other distances. The Cliff's Edge himself is a victim of this generalization.
They came one right after the other; first Lion Heart, then The Cliff's Edge, then Rock Hard Ten, then Read the Footnotes. Three of the faces were familiar, but the chestnut wearing the figure-8 and martingale was a stranger in town. Just when everyone had gotten used to seeing Lion Heart, poof, he was gone.
The week leading up to Saturday's Kentucky Derby (gr. I) got off to good start Monday, with four definite starters and one horse that is still knocking on the door breezing over a fast track at Churchill Downs.
With scattered showers and predictions of heavy rains in the afternoon, what little activity there was on the track this morning came early. In addition to the arrival of Florida Derby (gr. I) winner Friends Lake at 9:40, there was a mini buzz about the possible addition of the top-class filly Ashado to the Kentucky Derby (gr. I) field.
Edited notes from Churchill Downs tracking the daily activities of leading contenders for the May 1 Kentucky Derby (gr. I).
Live from Churchill Downs, it's the countdown to the 130th Run for the Roses, which can best be described as Derby Daze. If you thought it was an adventure finding Nemo, good luck trying to find this year's Kentucky Derby (gr. I) winner. After three months of confusion, the final leg of the journey starts today.
Although the final time might have been a little faster than he would have preferred, trainer Nick Zito was pleased with Monday's workout by The Cliff's Edge as the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes (gr. I) winner continued to prepare for the May 1 Kentucky Derby (gr. I).
Arkansas Derby (gr. II) winner Smarty Jones took up residence on the Keeneland backstretch Wednesday following a van ride from Oaklawn Park. Trainer John Servis said Smarty Jones will van over to Churchill Downs on April 23, and will remain there until the Kentucky Derby (gr. I).
OK, so who's in the Kentucky Derby (gr. I), and who's out? Who will be the favorite? Who really are the fast horses and who are the slow horses? Who's going to ride whom? Oh, yes, who's going to win? The answer to all these questions: Who knows?
The Nick Zito-trained Toyota Blue Grass (gr. I) winner The Cliff's Edge and Champagne (gr. I) winner Birdstone arrived Tuesday afternoon at Churchill Downs after a brief van ride from Keeneland.
Previous to Saturday's Arkansas Derby (gr. II), Smarty Jones had the distinction of being the best horse who might not get to participate in the Kentucky Derby (gr. I). Smarty Jones' $600,000 winners' purse in the Arkansas Derby moved him to fourth on the list of graded earnings for Derby contenders, meaning his chances of starting are all but assured.
Never before has there been a long gray line of 3-year-olds like the one that is heading for Churchill Downs this year. The question is, is there some mysterious force being emitted from the Twin Spires that is drawing all these grays to Louisville? There just might be.
Never before has there been a long gray line of 3-year-olds like the one that is heading for Churchill Downs this year. The question is, is there some mysterious force being emitted from the Twin Spires that is drawing all these grays to Louisville? There just might be.
Lion Heart was installed the 5-2 morning line favorite against eight other 3-year-olds for Saturday's Toyota Blue Grass Stakes (gr. I) at Keeneland and trainer Patrick Biancone agreed. "He's that good and I hope he gets to show it on the track," Biancone said.
An unsettling wave of upsets in this year's prep races left fans without an individual favorite in the final pool of the 2004 Kentucky Derby Future Wager. They opted instead for the field at odds of 6-1 as wagering closed Sunday.
Undefeated Smarty Jones, the likely favorite for next Saturday's $1 million Arkansas Derby (gr. II), worked five furlongs Saturday in a bullet :58 3/5, almost two seconds quicker than the second fastest time (1:00 2/5) at the distance.
As Eurosilver, another major contender for Kentucky Derby 130 fell out of the picture, fans returned to the mutuel field as a mild favorite at the midpoint of the third and final pool of Churchill Downs' 2004 Kentucky Derby Future Wager.
Although we're fascinated with numbers at TheDowneyProfile.com, we are not into numerology. However, it doesn't take much imagination to conjure up a projected field of 13 in Kentucky Derby 130.
In February, it looked as if Fort Calder was about to unleash the most potent corps of Kentucky Derby contenders ever assembled there. But most of the big names are gone, and it's now down to a pair of unlikely heroes to carry on the Calder name on this year's Triple Crown trail.
Trainer Nick Zito is beginning his assault on the Kentucky Derby (gr. I) by shipping three of his top contenders to Keeneland. The plane carrying Eurosilver, Birdstone, and The Cliff's Edge was expected to land in Central Kentucky today.
This is the first of a two-part column on this past weekend's races. The first will deal with Saturday's card at Gulfstream Park, featuring the Florida Derby (gr. I) and Swale Stakes (gr. II). The remainder of the Derby preps will be discussed in part two.
A New York bred won the $1 million Florida Derby (gr. I) at Gulfstream Park Saturday for the first time, but it wasn't Read the Footnotes. As the even-money favorite faded out of the money, 37-1 Friends Lake stormed from well off the pace to defeat a game Value Plus.
After this weekend's stakes gala, it's going to be much more difficult finding that one Derby horse who will pay off the mortgage and put the kids through college. But right now, that horse may still be out there in plain sight.
Fountain of Youth (gr. II) winner Read the Footnotes heads a field of 10 in Saturday's $1 million Florida Derby (gr. I), with four horses entering the picture at the 11th hour following last week's defection of Master David.
The lineup for the March 13 Florida Derby (gr. I) has gained another stakes-winning contender as Tapit's connections have announced they will enter the colt for the race.
Robert V. Lapenta has a successful racing stable, and he also wa the owner of the Fusaichi Pegasus colt that bought a world record price of $4.5 million for a 2-year-old in training.
Buckram Oak Farm's Silver Wagon, last year's Hopeful (gr. I) winner who had been scheduled to run in the Florida Derby (gr. I), likely will undergo surgery on both knees, which will keep him out of training for most of the year.
Robert LaPenta, the Connecticut communications company executive who campaigns Kentucky Derby (gr. I) contender The Cliff's Edge, went to $1,050,000 Monday to acquire a son of
Marylou Whitney's Birdstone, winner of his 3-year-old debut in allowance company, may skip the March 13 Florida Derby and run in the following week's $500,000 Lane's End Stakes (gr. II) at Turfway Park instead, trainer Nick Zito said Monday.
Each year at this time, new stars are spotted in the Kentucky Derby (gr. I) galaxy for the first time. But there is always a question whether they have come along too late to shine brightly on the first Saturday in May. Such is the case with Redskin Warrior, Odds On, Purge, Rock Hard Ten, and Quintons Gold Rush.
Kaufy Mate tallied a stunning upset at odds of 34-1 over grade II winner The Cliff's Edge in the $100,000 Sam F. Davis for 3-year-olds at Tampa Bay Downs Saturday.
Kentucky Jockey Club (gr. II) and Iroquois Stakes (gr. III) winner The Cliff's Edge drew the outside post position when a full field of a dozen 3-year-olds were entered Thursday for Saturday's $100,000 Sam F. Davis Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs in Florida.
Second of June, a game runner-up in Saturday's Fountain of Youth Stakes (gr. II) suffered a condylar fracture of the cannon bone, and was scheduled to undergo Sunday afternoon surgery at Dr. Stephen Selway's clinic near Gulfstream Park.
The stars were out at Palm Meadows training center Tuesday morning following several days of bad weather, which forced the cancellation the Monday's Gulfstream card and most of Sunday's. Heading the 3-year-old workers was Read the Footnotes, who will make his debut in the Fountain of Youth Stakes (gr. I).
Trainer Bob Durso said he will start his undefeated Frisky Spider in either the Hutcheson or the Fountain of Youth, while Nick Zito is considering those races and allowances for Birdstone, Eurosilver, and The Cliff's Edge.
This is the 10th in a series of early looks at next year's potential Derby horses. Several promising colts emerged from maiden races over the past week, while the two weekend stakes produced solid results.
The Cliff's Edge won the Kentucky Jockey Club (gr. II) at Churchill Downs Saturday, after which trainer Nick Zito said he would still rank the colt behind two of his other juveniles, Eurosilver and Birdstone.
Trainer Nick Zito looks for another big effort by The Cliff's Edge, the odds-on favorite for Saturday's $200,000-added Kentucky Jockey Club (gr. II) for 2-year-olds at Churchill Downs
An injury suffered in a Tuesday workout has knocked Walter "Buddy" New's Scat Sam Man out of Saturday's $200,000-added Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes (gr. II) for 2-year-olds.
Doctors who have examined jockey Shane Sellers since he cracked his tailbone last week in a freak paddock mishap have advised him to rest from four to six weeks, but the 37-year-old rider has a more aggressive timetable in mind.
This is the first in a series of early looks at next year's 3-year-olds and where they might stack up on the Kentucky Derby (gr. I) trail. Right now, it is Nick Zito, Richard Mandella, and Todd Pletcher who have the numbers.
Jockey Shane Sellers will miss at least the next few days at Churchill Downs as he recovers from a fractured tailbone suffered in a paddock mishap on Thursday.
Favored The Cliff's Edge took the lead at the top of the stretch under jockey Shane Sellers and steadily drew away for an easy victory in Sunday's $113,700 Iroquios (gr. III) for 2-year-olds at Churchill Downs.
Nick Zito, who already trains Kentucky Derby hopefuls Birdstone and Eurosilver, seeks to add to his riches Sunday when he saddles The Cliff's Edge in the $100,000 Iroquois (gr. III) at Churchill Downs.
A wide-open field of 11 passed the entry box for Saturday's Lane's End Breeders' Futurity (gr. II), the first of three stakes on day two of Keeneland's 17-day fall meeting. The race is a key prep for the Bessemer Trust Breeders' Cup Juvenile (gr. I) as several of the 2-year-olds in the field will be testing two turns for the first time.
A pair of Nick Zito-trained 2-year-olds and Team Valor's Tiger Hunt are the probable favorites from among those likely to go in Saturday's Lane's End Breeders' Futurity (gr. II).

This is the 37th year that I am participating in this event and had never missed a year since I was born. It is almost ritual like for me to be there and that extends to my family as well.
As it is a working day today, I did not take leave but decided to leave Kuala Lumpur after dinner which would be just in time to be there a few hours ahead of the midnight prayers. It is about 8 pm now and I am about to leave shortly.
Hopefully I would be able to take some good pictures and post in the coming entries. Till then, take care friends!

EXCLUSIVE: Kevin Wade, executive producer/showrunner of Blue Bloods, has signed an overall deal with CBS TV Studios, the studio behind the CBS drama. Under the pact, Wade will stay at the helm of the Tom Selleck-starring procedural, which is heading into its fourth season. Wade joined the series midway through its freshman season and has been showrunner for the past year and a half. While older skewing, Blue Bloods is a major audience draw. It is Friday's most watched program, averaging 13.3 million viewers this past season, up 8% over the 2011-12 season. Despite airing on the lower-trafficked Friday night, Blue Bloods ranks No.4 among all primetime dramas in total viewers, behind only CBS' NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles and Person Of Interest. Wade, repped by ICM Partners and attorneys Bob Getman and Alan Wertheimer, also created and exec produced the ABC dramedy Cashmere Mafia and previously wrote the features Working Girl and True Colors and co-wrote Maid In Manhattan and Junior.

There's bugger all worth watching on this side of The Atlantic, hurry up with the next Blue Bloods series please. England needs you!
Best series on Irish TV it's a must watch one.
Looking forward to the next series hope we don't
have to wait too long. The last episode finished
on Friday .
Has Blue Bloods been cancelled, or is it on hiatus? It wasn't on Friday, November 29, and I was disappointed.

Small Business Funding Sources
The current issue of Inc Magazine features Marcus Lemonis, star od the CNBC hit show The Prophet. Interesting read
however one of the most telling factoids is that there are 40,000 small businesses across the country looking to Marcus to help them out.
Money is often an issue followed by expertise, both of which Lemonis dishes out in healthy doses. For business financing, there are a variety of sources as this article points out:
From Small Business trends by by TJ McCue
Most small business owners can identify with the challenges of getting financing for their business or funding for a new product. There's no short, easy road to funding, most of the time, but these small business funding resources can help.
Kabbage has to be the most unique small business funding source found recently. They have created a powerful platform that, in my understanding, is creating a real-life look at how your business is doing to help you grow it.
They don't only look at credit scores, as so many traditional lenders do. They look at things like your Paypal, Ebay, Amazon, or Intuit QuickBooks account to figure out if you qualify and how much of a credit line you can receive. It is impressive.
Kiva Zip
Another innovative program and approach is found with Kiva, the microfinance platform. Etsy wrote about it. There is official information about zero interest (0%) with the Kiva Zip program (in Alpha, not even in Beta), and success stories on the main page.
The Lending Club
The Lending Club is a name that many consumers and business owners have heard before, but it is a site worth checking. Their peer-to-peer approach has taken the banking world by storm and it looks likely to continue in the business loan sector.
SmartBiz SBA Loans
SmartBiz SBA Loans ($5,000 – $150,000) is a small business lender, but one thatpromises a much better process than traditional banks, on SBA type loans. If you've ever gone through the SBA formal process, you know that it is rather comprehensive.

putting a vacuum advance distributor on a 4.9 Caddy v8
I am doing a build with a Caddy 4.9
This will be a carb'd engine and I will be using a distributor from the older 4.5 version of the engine and no ECM.
I am told I need to use this distributor with the internal mechanism from an older engine to get a free standing weights/vacuum advance. It may be the 4.1 distributor from 1983, but I am not sure and I am looking for advice before I buy.
Does anybody know which older distributor is the proper donor for this modification?
and BTW, I don't want EFI on this one
The link you posted didnt work, but you are correct. If the dizzy has mechanical weights and a vac pot for advance, that is what you want.
thanks, but the question still is which dizzy?
I know it has to be an Olds or Caddy pre-ecm distributor and I think it may be the one from the 4.1 Eldorado, but I am not sure. Any help will be appreciated.
as long as it has a mech and vac advance it will work. You can put a plain 4 pin module in it with a few mods.
You could almost retro fit a newer one with some older advance mechanisms i would imagine.
there is a correct one
I am told there is a model of Olds distributor that the guts of it will slide right into it, with simply cutting the stem a little shorter. But I don't know which Olds engine.
you will have to bust out with a few distributors and do some checking.
Joe Padavano is a HR member and a GM afficionado. He would probably know what fits...right off the top of his head.
there is the problem
I don't have access to a bunch of distributors to try out. I am a home hotrodder and the advice from someone like Joe would be great. I don't know his forum handle though.
Your thread has a pretty good title. Chances are he will see it and answer.
I couldnt find his exact username for a PM. But his username is what I posted.
Let's hope he sees it
I tried Joe Padavano for a PM and no luck
CARBED 4.9 SWAP INQUIRY - Pennock's Fiero Forum
More importantly, the top photo is a Caddy 4.1 distributor, the bottom is an Olds (all 1964-1990 Olds V8s use the same distributor). Do the look like they interchange?
The complete distributor isn't used. Parts are mixed/matched. Disassembly/modification required. Not plug and play.
I got another answer
A fellow I contacted at the Fiero Forum says I use the internals from a Pontiac v8 301 350 400 or 455. Apparently the internals just slide in.
Thanks for the info Joe, interestingly my Chevy V6 uses a hex drive on the distributor too. That is the 2.8,3.1,3.4 series
I'll keep you posted.
Thanks for the help guys.
Joe...you Da Man...:thumbup:
Yeah, helpful info... Joe.:mwink::D

Re: How to plot divergence of gradient as contour plot
My issue is not that Div, Curl, Grad use a default coordinate system
that's Cartesian and in which the variables are named Xx, Yy, and Zz.
In fact, given the paradigm used for these functions, one is essentially
forced to adopt such a convention lest the variables in these functions
be confused with ordinary x, y, z which one may want to reserve for
other purposes without interference.
And that paradigm I fault is that Div, Curl, and Grad do not operate
upon functions -- which are independent of coordinate systems -- but
rather operate upon functional expressions of variables. That's what I
indicated in my earlier post that you quote.

East Providence High gym gets new bleachers, center court logo
EAST PROVIDENCE — The East Providence High School gymnasium restoration project moved full steam ahead over the last few weeks, including the partial installation Sunday, July 7, of bleachers donated by Providence College.
A crew of about dozen hearty volunteers contended with 95 degree temps and near 100 percent humidity as they took part in the process, which included the transportation of the bleachers from a storage area in Riverside to the high school grounds.
The restoration project, being directed by local philanthropist John Carnevale, has raised upwards of $75,000, money which is being used to install the donated bleachers, paint the gym and completely overhaul the playing surface used for physical education classes, basketball and volleyball games as well as practices for other sports at the school.
In addition to the bleachers, coordinators of the project have also been working on the creation of a new logo for the center area of the basketball/volleyball court.
A number of those involved with the project have had input into the design, including EPHS head boys' basketball and girls' volleyball coach Alex Butler. The final design was put together by Jeff Carreira, an EPHS grad who is a graphic designer and employee of East Bay Newspapers, the parent company of The Post.
"I sent five or six examples of what I was looking for," Mr. Butler said. "This is our one chance to get it right. We're not going to be doing this again to the gym any time soon. It's our opportunity to brand the school. I do like what I've seen. I like where we're headed with the design."
The logo (pictured in this article) will literally be the centerpiece of the new floor design. It is expected the traditional interlocking "EP" logo long used by the school will also be incorporated on to the floor.
"With regards to the graphic design of the new center court logo and all other promotional flyers for the Townie Gym Project, we are proud to say we truly have one the best artists in the State of Rhode Island," said Mr. Carnevale. "A professional in every sense of the word, Jeff Carreira has stepped forward and donated countless hours to this grassroots community project. Jeff, a great childhood friend, has given our organization, D'Amours Step, the ability to share our vision and hearts through creative images filled with color and informative word play.
"Without Jeff's talents and unselfish service we would not have the capacity or the effectiveness with our media outreach efforts. Jeff gives us the ability to reach the community with regards to providing awareness and play a role creating a spark of energy in our hometown. We are so very grateful for all of his efforts."
Mr. Butler has suggested not painting the foul lane area because of the wear caused by both basketball and volleyball players. The boundary lines for both sports would be painted, but the coach would like to see a minimalist approach with upkeep in mind.Townies-Logo-Final(2)
"To me less is more. I don't want (the logo) to be too, too big or too, too gaudy," Mr. Butler continued. "What else they want to put on the floor is up to them. I wouldn't recommend painting the key. If they want to put the interlocking EP on the floor, I wouldn't have a problem with that. Maybe put one on opposite corners near the foul line."
The "Townie" in the logo, a creation of EPHS students in the 1970s, plays a prominent role in the new design. Mr. Butler and others suggested making the "Townie" look a bit more aggressive than in the past, showing the grit and determination EPHS teams have been noted for through the decades.
"I wanted them to beef it up, make him look a little more feisty," Mr. Butler said. "I definitely think they were on the right path when it comes to the look."
The script or font used in the lettering is, fittingly considering its donation to the project, based on the recent upgrade to the Providence College logo, which likewise featured a more aggressive Friar and bolder look.
"What I got from meeting with John about the new graphic/logo and the feedback he received from teachers, students and others was they really like the new Providence College logo and wanted to keep the tradition of the 'Townie' and not change him up too much, but make it more modern with cleaner lines and give him a bit of a tougher look," Mr. Carreira explained.
"So using that I used the original 'Townie' and used a template to create the new version slightly changing a few features to update his look while still keeping the tradition and integrity of the original 'Townie' and then incorporating it with big East Providence. There are still a few tweaks we will make going forward for other uses of it, but overall I think its close," he added.

Here's a recap:
- Ole Miss (Saturday in Oxford). The Rebels (6-3, 2-3) had the next-best thing to an open date as they prepared for Tennessee, routing Football Championship Subdivision foe Northern Arizona 38-14. The Rebels essentially gave do-all Dexter McCluster the day off, so he'll be 100 percent healthy for the Vol invasion. With McCluster getting zero touches, Jevan Snead and wideout Shay Hodge did the heavy lifting. Snead completed 16 of 29 passes for 235 yards and two touchdowns. Hodge caught 7 balls for 169 yards, including both of the TD throws.
- Vanderbilt (Nov. 21 in Knoxville). The Commodores (2-8, 0-6) gave top-ranked Florida some trouble before bowing 27-3 in Gainesville. Vandy trailed just 13-3 until Tim Tebow scored on a one-yard keeper with 1:52 left in the third quarter. The Gators added a gift TD in the fourth quarter on a short-field drive after Vandy's punter went to one knee fielding a low snap. Mackenzi Adams, making his first start of the season at quarterback, completed 13 of 29 passes for 100 yards.
- Kentucky (Nov. 28 in Lexington). The Wildcats (5-4, 1-4) finished off a 4-0 non-conference slate by routing Eastern Kentucky 37-12. True freshman quarterback Morgan Newton completed 20 of 29 passes for 187 yards and two touchdowns. The Big Blue played without leading rusher Derrick Locke and leading receiver Randall Cobb, both nursing injuries. UK's Donald Russell rushed three times for 92 yards - an average of 30.7 per carry - with a 79-yard TD burst on his first carry.

Alternative Bicyclisms
By Craig Richardson On August 23, 2011 · 5 Comments · In A Big Something, Awesome, Beer, Cycling, Hiking, History
What with all the hoopla surrounding the USA Pro Cycling Challenge we thought it'd be fun to offer, as a comparison, a couple of videos featuring the zenith of Colorado cycling in 1980, The Klunker Classic.
It's hard to imagine Colorado without mountain bikes. The knobby-tired bicycles are so ubiquitous now that it seems almost impossible that there was a time when trails were mostly for hiking. It may also be hard to believe that mountain bikes were once called "klunkers" made from vintage cruisers/paperboy bikes and that the people who rode them wore t-shirts and jeans or shorts instead of spandex "Tron suits" (Helmets? What!?), even as they rode long distances in the back country from places like Crested Butte to Aspen. (Note also the many single-speeds and folks cheerfully walking their bikes with friends!) We hope these two amazing videos of the "Crested Butte to Aspen Klunker Classic" in 1980 can serve as a small reminder of the simpler days when fun was the first order of business. If anyone recognizes anyone in this video, please leave a comment. (Thanks to pikespeaksports.us for finding these videos!)

Klunkers! I've never heard of that word before.
I wish one day I'll be able to get to Colorado and check it out with my bike.
Retro bikes and juggling. Brilliant!
Oh what a dream… sadly I don't know anyone in these videos but they are great.
Jeremy says:
AWESOME! Thanks for passing on the video link, TBS KRCC crew. What a fantastic piece of retro mountain bike history! My first trip out West was via a Greyhound bus right out of high-school, to live for a year in Crested Butte (Crusty Butt) in 1989. What a mind-blower that was! Not only was I indoctrinated in the ways of fat tire riding, but also the forgotten art of tele-mark skiing, along with other crazy antics. Still a cool town, beautiful place.
Jennifer says:
Sortof looks like the late great Mike Rust at the very end of the first video (and in the still). Wouldn't be surprised to see him there.
Those folks were the real deal.
Erin says:
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing guys…so interesting to see the old-school, humble beginnings…nary a helmet.
Repack Rider says:
Recognize anyone in the video? I'm in it and I knew most of those people. I'm the bike demonstrator guy.
The juggler is Scot Nicol, who got so excited about the sport after coming to Colorado that he learned how to make bicycles and started the Ibis company.
Check out this video shot a year and a half earlier in Marin County, which includes a few of the same people..

I really love this time of year. There is no holiday let down for me, we keep the twinkle lights up so we can enjoy their sparkle during these dark and gray Ohio days and decorate the mantle with hearts where the stockings used to be. I love the fires in the fireplace, snow on the ground, pink cheeks, hot chocolate, and the pink and red colors of Valentine's day coming up. I really love Valentine's Day and making it special for my little ladies.
We felt the need to bring a little spring into the holiday this year with scented herbal dough. I made a batch of pink rose petal scented dough and Fauna made a batch of purple lavender scented dough.
You need:
1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
1 cup water
1 tablespoon canola oil (or any other oil you have on hand)
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
3-4 drops essential oil (we used rose and lavender)
food coloring (we used purple and red)
2 tablespoons dry herbal leaves or flowers (we used lavender buds and rose petals)
To make:
1. Add a couple drops of the food coloring into the 1 cup of water.
2. Put flour, salt, cream of tartar, oil, and tinted water into a medium sauce pan.
3. Cook the mixture over medium heat until it bubbles, stirring constantly until it thickens.
4. Remove from heat then stir in a few drops of essential oil and the dried herbs or flowers.
5. Put the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth.
6. You can store any leftover dough in an airtight container or leave the creations out to airdry.
*They take about a week to dry and they will fade in color a little bit. The lavender dough has kept its scent the best.
Fauna made some snails, Araina made a cat with a bed and ball of string, and we all made hearts.
We strung the hearts to hang in our windows and on bookcase knobs (don't forget to add holes if you want to string them).

Teased earlier this week, Norse Projects has officially revealed its "Danish Weather" collaboration alongside New Balance. The pack includes two different takes on New Balance's 1500 silhouette as a nod to the autumnal weather that sets in on the Danes for the majority of the year – one is reminiscent of the brown and brunt orange of Copenhagen's forests while the other comes in hues of grey and blue as a reflection of the seasonal, cloudy skies. Finally, Norse Projects decided to switch things up a bit by replacing the 1500′s usual embroidered branding with the reflective 3M "N" of the 993. The "Danish Weather" pack is set to hit Norse Projects this Friday, August 9 before releasing at additional retailers across the globe come August 26.

Beneath the Mirror Ball
Every week around 100,000 young Australians head out to raves and dance clubs marathon parties driven by the incessant beat of electronic dance music.
The rest of the community, more familiar with pub culture and live bands, wonders: whats the attraction? Whats to like about a scene dominated by a monotonous dooph dooph dooph thumping out of samplers, synthesisers and drum machines?
Plenty, say the devotees. And anyone open minded enough and willing enough to explore the dance scene will discover an extraordinarily rich vein of sub-culture.
Four Corners has spent the past two months delving into dance culture to meet a generation defined by its own music, politics, technologies and its own drugs. The program traces dance culture as the latest in a line of youth movements, borrowing from, but different to, hippie culture of the 60s and punk of the 70s and 80s.
Producer Lin Buckfields program explores and reflects emerging sub-cultures to the wider community. Dance-scene participants say its all about equality:
The ravers unifying motto is PLUR peace, love, unity and respect. But theyre no bland homogenous force. There are subtle but important distinctions in the styles of music and these distinctions often define which sub-faction a person identifies with.
For some, it is mostly a matter of having fun. At the other end of the spectrum the music is an anthem to anti-materialist, anti-globalisation politics.
Now corporations have begun marketing to this new expression of youth culture. The result is that some dance culture is being dragged into the mainstream, to the scorn of anarchic underground groups.
Lin Buckfield looks at the role of ecstasy and the dilemma it presents for law enforcement and public health. Unlike alcohol, which fuels violence in pubs and clubs, ecstasy produces waves of warmth and good feeling. But its believed to be potentially harmful to users in the medium and long terms.

Since my divorce, I'd been on a few dates, nothing serious, just slowly reacquainting myself with the company of a woman over dinner or drinks, like easing back into warm water. Dating again was invigorating, and scary. But I needed the companionship. And I knew that eventually I'd want that companionship to mean more than dinner and a movie.
So I'd just keep dating and see what happened, right?
Well, there's more to it than that, some Catholic friends told me. If you want to get remarried in the Church, they said, an annulment is necessary. I had only been Catholic about four years, so annulment—like many things Catholic—was a new concept to me. So I made an appointment with my priest to discuss it.
I entered the humble rectory office, and sat across from Father Albert, a kind, soft-spoken pastor with an Egyptian accent. His warmth instantly calmed me. He asked a few questions about my relationship with my former wife.
"How did you meet? How long did you know each other? Did you have any children?"
Then he settled into his chair and looked at me. An annulment is not a "Catholic divorce," he said. "And you can't necessarily get one just because you're unhappy, even if your spouse cheated." Then came the words I'll never forget.
"An annulment declares that your marriage never existed."
A sudden wave of sadness washed over me, a hot and unexpected grief. I understood what he was saying with my mind. But my heart violently resisted.
My marriage never existed?
Sitting there in the priest's office, my mind instantly raced back to the moment my ex and I met online, our whirlwind courtship, our first kiss. I saw myself proposing to her under a pink evening sky in upstate New York, and laughing on our cross-country honeymoon drive to relocate in California. I saw us making love and unwrapping wedding gifts in our first apartment.
And you're saying that never existed? But it did.
We adopted a pug, jogged together through our neighborhood training for a marathon, and spent every Saturday morning at our favorite restaurant eating chorizo scrambled eggs and mimosas. We fought, argued about finances, and she stormed out in tears one night to go for a drive.
We sang together in Mass on Sundays. I was there in the crowd, clapping when she accepted her graduate school diploma. She held my hand as we attended the premiere of a TV show I wrote.
I had loved her. And she had loved me. It was not a fantasy.
As my mind reeled with memories, Father Albert gently explained that if I was granted an annulment, it essentially meant that our marriage had never existed in the eyes of God. It didn't mean you were never civilly married, or that your shared experiences were invalid, or that any children from your union were illegitimate. It just meant that there was some defect from the beginning that prevented a true sacramental union from taking place.
Okay, so I grasped this theologically. According to the Church, a sacramental marriage may have never happened. Meaning… certain criteria had not existed at the time of our vows. For instance, did we truly intend to stay faithful to one another for life? Were we open to having children? Were we fully in control of our will (not forced or drunk or otherwise impaired) when we stood at the altar? I got all that…
But it's one thing to understand something intellectually. It's another to grasp it emotionally. I was caught in the gap between the two.
I knew I wanted to eventually get married again if God allowed. But… how could I deny all I had lived through with my former wife? Could it really have all been… a mistake? Isn't that what an annulment would basically be saying? Were the last seven years of my life never supposed to have happened?
I had come looking for answers. Now I was saddled with more questions.
But that's the whole purpose of doing the annulment paperwork, the priest explained. Sixty-two essay questions force you to face your past, excavate your pain, and see what went wrong. It's not meant to be cruel. It's not a weird formality of the Church. It's not so the Church can make a few bucks (you're asked to pay a fee, but even that is negotiable). It's meant to heal you.
So maybe that grief I felt in the priest's office was just the opening salvo of the hard healing process that the annulment would bring about. All I know is, that day my heart wasn't ready.
Father Albert handed me the annulment packet. He would be my advocate, he said, but the work was up to me.
I left the church, my spirit laid low, as the late afternoon sun cast shadows across the street. I drove home, slipped the paperwork in a drawer, and shut it.
That was more than a year ago.
Yesterday, I dug up the annulment packet. I skimmed it over, then studied the first question: "Please describe the home environment in which you grew up."
I stared at the question. Thought about it. Then… started typing my answer.
For divorced men and women: It's important that you have been through the annulment process and have a decree of nullity stating that you are not bound to your ex-spouse and are free to date and marry. If you date without having taken this step, you are taking a great risk, emotionally, spiritually, and practically.
Because you've already endured the traumatic loss of your marriage, you need to make sure you are not dating with the intention of finding a cure for your hurt. In addition, the Church assumes that all marriages are valid unless proven otherwise by the annulment process. If you don't give a tribunal the opportunity to determine whether or not you had a valid marriage bond, then you are considered married in the eyes of the Church, regardless of having a civil divorce decree. For the sake of your soul, it is essential to be sure you are truly free to date in that sense, as well.
If you have questions about the Church's teaching on annulments, talk with your parish priest or local marriage tribunal.

NHTSA Seeks Info on Districts' Decisions About School Bus Seat Belts
The agency launches a project to learn more about the decision-making process on whether to implement two-point or three-point belts.
HARRISBURG, Pa. — The state House has approved legislation that would permit the use of audio recordings on school buses, The Morning Call reports.
Under the bill, school boards would have to vote on a local policy outlining audiotaping rules, send parents written notices at the beginning of each school year about audio bus recordings and post warning placards on buses about audiotaping.
The state Senate had previously approved Senate Bill 57, but it only dealt with audio recordings on yellow buses. According to The Morning Call, when Senate Bill 57 moved to the House Judiciary Committee, it was amended to also allow police to use audio-equipped cameras anywhere except in a residence without prior court approval.
The amended bill now moves back to the Senate, which could vote on it next year. Sen. Rich Alloway, the bill's prime sponsor, told The Morning Call that he did not think the law enforcement amendment would stop the Senate from approving the bill.

Forbes: Knicks most valuable NBA franchise for second year in a row
The New York Knicks are no doubt going through another drama-filled season, but as Kurt Badenhausen of Forbes reported on Wednesday, the franchise is ranked the most valuable in the NBA for a second consecutive year.
According to Forbes, the Knicks are currently worth $1.4 billion, up 27 percent from a year ago, and top the Los Angeles Lakers, who are up 35 percent from last year to an assessed value of $1.35 billion, as the most valuable organization in the league. The Chicago Bulls, valued at $1 billion, were third and the Boston Celtics came in at fourth with $875 million.
The average NBA franchise is worth $634 million, this is, equity plus debt, a figure that represents a 25 percent jump over last year's average team value. By comparison, Forbes reports the average NFL team is worth $1.17 billion.
GOLLIVER: The All-Gridiron Team: NBA players who would dominate on the football field On an individual player basis, Kobe Bryant came in at No. 1 for most money earned -- between salary and endorsements -- with a total of $64.5 million. LeBron James was right behind Bryant with $61 million, and Derrick Rose and Kevin Durant rounded out the top four with $38.6 million and $31.8 million, respectively.

The Electronic Cigarette, The Law and The User.
The Act was introduced in response to tobacco based cigarettes killing over 100,000 people every year in the UK, as lit tobacco produces tar,carcinogens, carbon monoxide and up to 4000 other toxic substances.
In Chapter 28 that incorporates the Smoking ban, the definition of smoking is stated as: Smoking refers to smoking tobacco or anything which contains tobacco, or smoking any other substance, and smoking includes being in possession of lit tobacco or of anything lit which contains tobacco, or being in possession of any other lit substance in a form in which it could be smoked.
The user of a electronic cigarette device is excluded from this Act as the device contains no tobacco; it is not ignited, and produces no smoke from burning substances.
The electronic cigarette can be used in any location and within any premises that introduced a ban on tobacco based cigarettes with the introduction into Law of the Health Act 2006.

Generator and Neutral Bonding Issue
Ok I have installed a Briggs & Stratton 7kw (model 040248) stand-by generator and a 16-circuit SIEMENS 2-pole manual transfer switch. I installed everything and once I fired up the generator and plugged into the 240 outlet the 30A GFCI breaker on the generator tripped and subsequently each other time I tried. After playing with it I noticed that if I disconnected the ground from the 4-wire cord going into the disconnect box on the outside, the generator would run and provide power to the house.
I then came in and did some research last night and found that the generator and the transfer switch are by code not compatible as the generator's Neutral is BONDED to the chassis, and technically you would need a transfer switch to "switch the neutrals". Well after a large investment in money and time and no way to take anything back, I am in search of a solution.
One thing I came across was that I can "REMOVE THE BOND" on the generator and everything should work because it would bond to the main panel in the house.
My ultimate question is if this the direction I should take? Are there any other alternatives? If this is the direction I need to go how do I effectively un-bond the neutral on the generator. I have included a link to the "WIRING DIAGRAM" below for assistance. I also have opened up the control panel on the generator and found a screw through the chassis in the back with 4 wires under it (2 white and 2 green), do I remove the whites from the bolt and tie them together and I am done or what are my options.
Also Manual of course says DO NOT REMOVE BOND as GFCI OUTLET WILL NOT WORK AND CAN CAUSE INJURY, but if everything flows down through to the main panel will the GFCI still not work?
I am new to this forum and I thank you in advance for any help.
The GFCI should still work. A GFCI does not require a ground to detect a current imbalance.
What you have going on there is the bonding between neutral and ground at your main panel is causing current sharing between the incorrectly bonded neutral and ground at the generator.
I'm not sure why they would do something that stupid. It might be good to try to figure out the reasoning behind it.
To confirm the GFCI still works, you can either buy a GFCI tester, or make one if you have a few resistors laying around.
The bond can be removed and indeed has to be removed if you want to use this generator in this application. But the bond exists to ground the frame of the generator in stand alone use. So, if you intend to only use it while connected to your house, then disconnect it, but if ever use it as a portable then you need the bond connected. Perhaps you could install a very visible switch that connects and disconnects the bond for different applications.
So if I remove the white neutral wires do I leave the green ground wires under the bolt which is bolted to the chassis?
The ground (green) wire bonded to the chassis (via the bolt) remains in place there.
Ok, I UNBONDED the neutral wires and bolted them together by themselves with tape. Generator fired up and ran with no problems. I pushed the TEST button on the GFCI breaker, and the breaker tripped. So this means that the GFCI IS working CORRECTLY and being bonded down at the main panel in the house?
Yes, most likely. Buy a GFCI tester and use it on a standard outlet in your house while it is being powered by the generator. Or create a ground to neutral short with a jumper wire and see if the GFCI operates.

Insects dominate the animal kingdom, both in terms of numbers and variety. One reason for their success is their remarkably swift and effective system of defense against infections, which differs dramatically from the immune systems of higher-order animals, including humans. Key to the insect immune system is an array of small antimicrobial peptide molecules. Most act, in essence, by latching on to the outer or inner membranes of bacteria and punching holes in the membranes, thereby killing the bacteria.
Now, in a new study, scientists at The Wistar Institute have identified an intracellular target for one of these antimicrobial molecules first isolated from a European sap-sucking insect. The molecule itself is currently being evaluated for its potential as an antibiotic in mammals, including humans. Knowledge of the receptor, however, may make it possible to develop an entirely new class of antibiotics, each rationally designed to fight a specific disease-causing bacterium or fungus. The new findings were published electronically on October 21 in the journal Biochemistry.
"Insects often live in hostile environments, and they are not very long-lived," says Wistar associate professor Laszlo Otvos Jr., Ph.D., lead author on the study. "So they need a rapid way to kill bacteria. In earlier work, we and others discovered several powerful antibiotic molecules used by flies, bees, and other insects to defend themselves against infection. In the current study, we identified the receptor for one of these molecules, which is potentially much more significant. With knowledge of the receptor, the doors are open to developing strain-specific antibiotics."
The new receptor is a heat shock protein referred to as DnaK. Heat shock proteins, in both bacteria and animals, play an all-important role during infections that produce fevers. Fevers cause the proteins that make up all cells to become misshapen, in some cases destroying their ability to do the work for which they were designed. Heat shock proteins help repair the problems, correcting the shapes of the proteins and restoring them to functionality.
The mechanism by which the sap-sucking insect's antimicrobial molecule kills bacteria, then, is to disrupt the bacterial heat-shock protein repair system. Importantly, this insect peptide does not bind to the human equivalent of the DnaK receptor, known as Hsp70, greatly enhancing its pharmaceutical potential in humans. If the peptide bound to the human Hsp70 receptor, it and related compounds might pose a danger to human cells.
With the receptor now identified, scientists might be able to develop new drug compounds with improved characteristics that act on the same site. The new compounds might be more easily synthesized than the naturally occurring one, for example, or show greater stability in mammalian systems. They might also be tailored to target specific bacterial or fungal strains with heightened effectiveness.
