New Jiinlri- Braunfels New Braunfels, Texas Herald-Zeitiin* Vol. 91- No. 180 16 Pages TUESDAY September 14,1982 25 cents (USPS 377-880) Boarnet resigns city post Longtime city attorney to concentrate on private practice By DYANNEFRY Staff writer Irvin H. Boarnet, New Braunfels city attorney for the past nine years, tendered his resignation to the City Council Monday night. He presented each council member with a copy of his two-page letter, which he also read aloud for the benefit of all present. "I have thoroughly enjoyed my legal positions and I appreciate the opportunities which were given to me," read Boarnet, finally reaching his point in the middle of the second page: "While all of this has been a wonderful opportunity for me, the time has come for me to now take advantage of other opportunities." The resignation is effective Oct. 31 Boarnet plans to represent the city in a Sept. 29 hearing before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commision, concerning the dismissal of former police officer Domingo Herrera. But he doesn't expect to see the end of that case, since Herrera has recently retained a Houston lawyer. "In addition to the EEOC hearings, we can anticipate a Federal Court lawsuit," Boarnet stated in his letter. "Likewise, the ACORN decision (which concerns a challenge to the city's solicitation ordinance) is still hanging fire since May 15th, and I do not know when the Federal Court will again require our appearance or render judgment. I trust this will be before Oct. 31." The council accepted Boarnet's announcement without visible reaction. But Mayor O.A. Stratemann Jr. said Tuesday morning that it had taken him by surprise. "He's done a wonderful job over the years. He's going to be a hard man to replace," Stratemann said. Boarnet said he had reached his decision approximately three weeks ago, and had discussed it with "one council member that I'm particularly close with. I'd rather not mention the name. "I discussed it very thoroughly before I decided to do it," he said. He didn't know whether other council members had heard rumors ahead of time or not. "Over the years, I've found you can't keep a secret in New Braunfels," said Boarnet. "The time has come for me to now take advantage of other opportunities," wrote the attorney in his resignation letter. All that really means, he said later, is that he will devote more time to his private practice. "I just had so much to do. You should see my desk," he said Tuesday morning. Boarnet began his career with the city as municipal prosecutor in 1972. He was later appointed municipal judge, then city attorney. "I understand that I am the first and only attorney in the history of New Braunfels who has served in all three capacities," Boarnet stated in his letter. He believes he's held the position of city attorney longer than anyone else in history, and notes that he has missed only once council meeting during his time of service. re-elected mayor Joe Rogers just might have been the next mayor of New Braunfels. He was nominated for the job Monday night by City Coun-cilmember Barbara Tieken — but withdrew his name "due to extreme business pressures." I .ast year's mayor, O.A. Stratemann Jr., was nominated by Laverne Eberhard and re-elected by acclamation. Mayor Pro Tem Gerald Schaefer was also re-elected by acclamation, despite his stated conviction that "this position should be passed around." Both Schaefer and Stratemann made brief acceptance speeches which wet e graciously accepted by the rest of the council. "lf I wouldn't've withdrawn, Skip, it might've been different," Rogers grinned. As is customary at this time of year, council members also received their annual pay according to the city charter. City secretary Veronica Sarkozi passed out personalized envelopes, each containing a $1 bill. "It costs $2 to print a check, so they have to do it in cash," Mayor Stratemann explained. An ordinance approving the 1982 Public Housing Code passed second reading Monday, but the updated code may undergo some major revisions before it comes up for a third reading. Counciimember Donnie Seay compared the new code with the 1963 code now in effect in New Braunfels. He gave assistant city manager Hector Tomayo a copy of the new code with all changes underlined. "In our last agenda packet, we had a letter from the state building inspector stating that there were no significant differences between this book and the last book. That is absolutely incorrect," Seay said. City manager E.N. Delashmutt seemed surprised by this news, and promised to go over the code in detail before the next meeting. He said the council had the authority to delete any provisions it wished before approving the new code. It may also elect to stick with the old one. "I don't have so much quarrel with the changes, just that we were told there weren't any," Seay said. "We might have passed that thing on an emergency reading (one of the options proposed by Delashmutt at the last meeting) without ever knowing." The city is taking bids for the luanda Park snack-bar-and novelty concession and a curb construction project at luanda Street and ' Fredericksburg Road. The current lease on the park concession, Wurst World, expires at the end of this year. The Fredericksburg curb project was designed to protect adjacent business properties from "cutting across" by motorists turning right onto luanda. It calls for 46 feet of upright curb along Fredericksburg and 20 feet around the corner on luanda, with additional curb sections to be installed on the other side of luanda Street. The city's application for a $120,000 grant to help finance the Hinman Island Park improvement project got a favorable review from the Alamo Area Council of Governments.

Roberts left a trail of bent highway markers, uprooted posts and felled trees before slamming into the wooden frame house located just south of the Snake Farm. The accident has forced the family out of doors onto Hie front yard, which is littered with tables and chairs. Ix*e Simons, owner of the house and w ho now lives in the bed of his truck parked next to the house, had just lain down for a nap about 6:30 p.m. when the impact of the truck threw him from bed. He crawled See OUTDOORS, Page 16 Bell's response Officials say data not misleading AUSTIN (AP) — Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. has responded to an unprecedented attempt to dismiss its rate increase request by stating the phone company does not lie to the Public Utility Commission or the public and will not stand for such accusations. Southwestern Bell responded Monday to motions by the PUC staff and two customer groups to dismiss Bell's case for a $471.5 million rate hike. A Bell spokesman said the Texas Municipal League also had asked the PUC to dismiss the case. (The city of New Braunfels is among the cities which has joined with TMI. in opposing the increase). Oral arguments were scheduled today before hearing examiner Jacqueline Holmes. Bell said in its 18-page response to the motions that the charges were "totally without merit or foundation. ... Southwestern Bell has not been 'deceptive' or 'misleading,' 'flagrantly' or otherwise." As evidence of its honesty, Bell said that on Sept. 6 one of its witnesses advised the examiner and other parties of data that reduced the company's pension expense in Texas by over $17 million. This information was known only to the company, the response said. "No clearer evidence is available that Southwestern Bell does not deceive this commission nor the public. Graceless accusations that it does are not to be tolerated," Bell said. The Friday motions followed a day-long disagreement over information Bell and its parent company, American Telephone & Telegraph Co., had provided. The staff sought the information during the summer to prepare its case against Bell's claim to $63 million paid to AT&T under terms of their 50-year-old "license contract." Bell defends the payments as necessary contributions to AT&T's research, legal, technological and financial assistance. Opponents say many projects such as AT&T's long anti-trust fight with the federal government, a new Manhattan office building, artwork and stockholders' meetings — should not be subsidized through Texas customers' rates. Two PUC lawyers said in their motion that Bell and AT&T's response to their information request was "misleading" because the data covered two years rather than one year, ending last March 31, that is relevant to the case. They complain the data does not indicate which AT&T projects fall within the proper year. They asked the hearing examiner to throw out Bell's entire $471.5 million case, or at least the $63 million license-contract payments. If that is not acceptable, they urged a two week postponement in the hearing to examine new information AT&T has promised to furnish. Joining the staff with similar motions were the Texas Retailers Association and the Texas Alarm and Signal Association. Fire panel's proposal 'shot down' By JACQUELINE SMITH Staff writer The newly-formed county firemen's association will not Ik* able to help Commissioners Court out in the way it would like. According to a plan adopted by the court in late July, the association was going to screen monetary requests made for county revenue sharing funds by the various county fire departments. But since the departments feel that this plan would only make things worse among themselves, they've turned down the court's plan, as commissioners heard from Herb Syring Monday, Commissioners were looking forward to the implementation of this plan since revenue sharing funds are constantly being cut and not every fire department gets what it asks for. "We've had an unequal situation with everybody clawing and scratching at Commissioners Court (for funds)," Comm. O.R. Ileitkamp said when the plan was adopted. A committee set up by the association would have reviewed each department's request before the court received them. However, the committee would not consider requests made by those fire departments which did not attend at least 80 percent of the 12 yearly association meeting. "In order to make the Comal County Firemen's Association a viable organization, we need the input of every fire department tfuit has responsibility in Comal County," Syring, president of the association, said in July.

Down a tiny alley in Marrakech's ancient, higgledy-piggledy medina, you round a switchback turn and happen upon a tiny, nondescript door in the wall. The street itself is unrecognisable from the many you've travelled down to get here, but this one is different. Your driver knocks hard, once, on the door, and as it swings open to unveil what's inside your jaw drops in surprise: in the middle of this frenetic, muddled city you have found an oasis, where shimmering ornate tiles line the floors to the ceilings, palm trees flutter in the gentlest of breezes and a tinkling fountain sits in the middle of the courtyard. This is your hotel, and in keeping with the rest of Morocco, it's full of surprises.
Perhaps the biggest surprise is the people...who welcome you into their home in the Atlas Mountains with mint tea and a delicious breakfast. Life at home will be a distant memory at this point and you'll learn all about new cultures and how people live in the inhospitable mountain habitat – which is ironic, as they are some of the friendliest people you'll come across anywhere in the world. While you're here we'll take you on an exhilarating adventure tour of the region, with the fertile foothills and craggy peaks. This is not a normal tour, however. Oh no. You'll see the scenery by zip-line, hurtling along as you take in the fresh air, miles away from the dusty plains of the Sahara. You'll explore on horseback (sure-footed ponies are surely better in this terrain) and practise your aim with an archery lesson. Craft workshops will whet your appetite for what's next to come: cooking lessons in Marrakech. This is quite the contrast to the airy quiet of the mountains. Rambling bazaars piled with handicrafts, endless food stalls and the smell of fragrant spices and baking bread at every turn, you'll shop for ingredients in markets before cooking a delicious traditional tagine that you can enjoy for dinner before watching the rosy hue of the dying sun reflecting off pink clay walls.
From the urban oasis of Marrakech to a real-life desert experience, you'll be whisked away towards the Sahara, travelling over mountain roads past rustic kasbahs to Ouarzazate;the scenery might be vaguely familiar, and it should be, it's been the set of many a Hollywood blockbuster. In the vast dunes of Erg Chebbi you'll bed down in your own private camp of traditional Arabic caidal tents, taking to the sand during the day for dune bashing or camel riding, with dinner every night under the starry desert skies. From the dunes of the desert to the dunes of the coast, your last stop is the Atlantic coastal town of Essaouira. The laid-back city is renowned for its white-washed walls and charming streets packed with seafood restaurants. Here you can spend some time on the beach before you head back to reality, throwing yourself into the waves on a windsurf or kite surfing and making the most of the windy beaches.

More than 1,000 motorists a week are victims of deliberate "crash for cash" accidents, a study reveals today.
There were at least 30,000 "slam-ons" in the past year – where a fraudster brakes to make the car behind run into the back of them.
The rising trend in deliberately staged car accidents has been detected by crime prevention teams investigating suspicious claims for insurers LV.
A third of drivers in accidents said the other party tried to claim for passengers not in the vehicle or exaggerated to inflate claims.
The study suggests fraudsters target women under 35, believing they are less likely to challenge a claim.
It is estimated over 300,000 car accidents were deliberately staged in the past five years involving thousands of innocent motorists.

The Children-Eating Demon
"And then the demon came to planet Earth to eat her children, and the Slayer was called on once again to save the world!" Andrew shone the beam of his flash light up at his face, illuminating it in an eerie glow.
The potential slayers around him swapped exaggerated expressions of boredom and disbelief. Vi spoke up, "Andrew. Your stories are great, but... how many of them are actually real?" She squirmed where she sat after the words left her mouth, as if they physically hurt her to utter.
Andrew saw her question as a challenge of sorts. "You don't think that Buffy is powerful?"
"Yes, but-"
"Do you think I would lie and make up tales of her amazing-"
"Yes." A new voice.
Andrew frowned. "What?"
"Yes. That sounds exactly like what you would do."
All heads turned simultaneously to the new person in the room. Buffy stood in the doorway, hands on her hips and a quiet strength and annoyance in her eyes.
"Buffy," Andrew said. "I uh... we were just talking. About, uh, well, you."
"I heard," she replied. "So, there's a children-eating demon now?"
"Yes. You know, Buffy. You know the one." He pleaded with her, his eyes big and wide; he didn't want to be made a fool of in front of so many of the potential slayers. That would ruin him and any credibility he had with them, which admittedly was not a lot but he was going to cling to what little he did have.
"Do I now?" she said.
"Yes! Don't you remember? We were there and Xander was there and Willow was… well, Willow was still kinda evil and all black hair and eyes… And well, the demon went all angry-faced and claws and you went all uber!slayer and saved us all. But… it ate children, this demon, way back before it attacked us. It's why we were hunting it."
Buffy shrugged. "I don't seem to recall-"
"Buffy, please just tell them."
She studied him a moment, and then something occurred to her. She grinned and nodded. "Okay," she said, beaming. Then she turned to the potentials. "There was a demon. Andrew was right about that. And it did eat children, too. This was one evil demon. "
"See? See what I said."
"Only what Andrew is neglecting to say is that the demon attacked him. And might I remind you that this demon only goes after children."
"Exactly!" Andrew said, before he caught up. "Wait. What?"
A number of the potentials laughed. Only a few bothered to stifle it or bite down and keep it inside.
"And that," Buffy said, "Is why you shouldn't listen to all Andrew has to say."
Andrew stuttered after her, as she walked out of the room, "Buffy, but.. that's not what happened! You weren't supposed to…"
"Sure it wasn't," one of the potentials said. The group of them climbed to their feet and filtered out after Buffy.
"I guess Andrew's tales of the slayer is over," Andrew whispered to himself.

Thanks to carebear for the heads up.
Question: Please tell me that they are not going to fire most of the NCIS actors. I can't believe they would fool with a good thing. In the last episode of the season, the new director told the group they were all going to different departments. Please say it isn't so! — Arlene
Matt Roush: It is my pleasure to tell you that they are not going to fire most (if any, to my knowledge) of the current NCIS cast, nor are they going to seriously mess with the ensemble formula of the show (unlike what happened on House). This season-ending stunt will be followed through in the beginning of the season, but the team will eventually be restored — though how long it will take and how, I can't tell you, because 1) I don't know; and 2) that would be a spoiler. In this case, I'm basically exercising common sense. Why fix what ain't broke?

EUR/JPY Weekly Outlook
EUR/JPY jumped further to as high as 104.66 last week as rebound from 97.03 extended. Mentioned target of 100% projection of 97.03 to 102.20 from 99.24 at 104.41 was met and EUR/JPY is now close to falling trend line resistance (now at 105.17). At this point, rebound from 97.03 is still viewed as a correction only. Hence, while initial bias remains on the upside this week, we'll be cautious on reversal signal as EUR/JPY approaches the mentioned trend line resistance. Below 103.65 minor support will flip bias back to the downside first. Further break of 102.20 will argue that rebound from 97.03 is finished and will turn outlook bearish for 99.24 support and below. However, sustained trading above the trend line will pave the way to 161.8% projection at 107.60 instead.
In the bigger picture, at this point, there is no clear sign of trend reversal in EUR/JPY yet. Fall from 123.31, which is part of the down trend from 2008 high of 169.96 is still expected to continue after corrective rebound from 97.03 finishes. Next target is 100% projection of 139.21 to 105.42 from 123.31 at 89.52. But in that case, we'd anticipate strong support there to bring at least a rebound attempt, as it's close to 88.96 all time low. However, sustained trading above the above mentioned trend line will be the first signal of reversal on bullish convergence condition in daily MACD. Further break of 111.57 should confirm medium term bottoming and target 123.31 resistance and above.
In the long term picture, up trend from 88.96 (00 low) has completed at 169.96 and made a long term top there. Based on the five wave structure of the rise from 88.96 to 169.96, we're favoring that fall from 169.96 is corrective in nature. Hence, we'll look for reversal signal ahead of 88.96 low.

Strange - the Memphis news has been awash for a couple of weeks now with
sightings of a brown bear in North Mississippi just a stone's throw from the
city - totally unheard of in this area. He was seen and photographed (from
a distance) by more than a few people and reported to weigh in between
400-600 lbs. Officials were finally able to tree him yesterday, tranquilize
him and prepare to move him to a wildlife refuge. They did a physical exam
to make sure that an encounter with a car last week did not injure him,
weighed him and carted the 167 lb. beast away. North Ms. can rest easily

away, though down the hill and on the other side of some trees from the
house so there was no direct sight line. Still can't understand it.

We are also having this issue and have to force spiceworks to check for new tickets. Maybe ticket updates are set to look too frequently (like every 1 minute). I am considering every 10 minutes, but if you try to have an email dialog, that does not work very well.

I fixed this. We have an exchange server so I set up smtp for outgoing and exchange for incoming and it worked. Previously, I had exchange configured for both and it kept getting authentication errors. Prob solved!

"I'll believe it when I see it," is a hackneyed idiom, but it sticks because it happens to be mostly true.
It's one of the reasons why data visualization is emerging as a powerful information force in the crowded, intensely contested world of social media. It's why, during last year's State of the Union, the president live-tweeted charts to illustrate the points he was making in his speech. It's why Ezra Klein publishes stories that deign to suggest they can explain something as vast as the Roman empire with a few dozen maps.
When we want to be persuasive, we are more effective if we buffer our case with visuals like charts and graphs. For example, I can tell you that the United States incarcerates five times as many people as most nations despite having similar crime rates. I can cite sources and link to essays and research. Or, I can show you this:
The immediate, visceral reaction we have to charts like this one, which was created by the Prison Policy Initiative, is no accident. Visual perception research has established the fact that visual information is powerfully and inescapably persuasive in a way that text and speech aren't.
The user's attitude matters. Research from Ansul Pandey and colleagues at New York University indicates that the persuasive power of dataviz may not be perfectly universal. The success of a visualization seems to be dependent on the initial attitude of the person assessing it. When participants in their study didn't have strong opinions about the message being conveyed, visuals persuaded effectively. But they were less effective when participants held strong opinions in opposition to the message being conveyed.
This makes sense. It takes more to convince someone who doesn't believe you than someone who simply doesn't know or doesn't care. But there's more. Those with stronger opposing views were more likely to be swayed when a disagreeable message was presented in the form of a table. Even now, good old-fashioned rows and columns sometimes outperform charts.
Charts may even backfire. An unrelated study led by Brendan Nyhan at Dartmouth focused on political beliefs and found that charts could correct some factual misperceptions. However, people who were most likely to hold misperceptions tended to reject factual corrections no matter what. The researchers speculate that that's because the facts presented (about hot-button topics like climate change) felt threatening to their world-view and their identity. In other words, a chart may cause someone with a polar opposite view to dig in their heels because it's too psychologically painful to confront compelling evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.
Cognitive state and trait matter. Lane Harrison from Tufts University's Visual Analytics Lab (home of some of the most interesting new research on visualization) has shown that the persuasive power of a visual–and even our ability to understand one–isn't a fixed thing. The effectiveness of visualization changes with mood, gender, personality type and other factors. What's more, priming a subject can affect how they perform when reading a graphic and what they take away from it.
Execution matters. It also appears that the ability for people to get information from a chart affects their judgment of the data itself. That is, credibility suffers if the visual is difficult to make sense of. The most anti-persuasive thing you can do is to make a bad chart that frustrates people.
What are the ways charts cause us to look away? Complexity is one. If there's too much information and no clear, salient point that we can intuit, we tend to shut down, unless we have the time, space, and inclination to work hard at finding the narrative in the visual. Certainly in a presentation setting, that's unlikely.
Another way charts go off the rails is if there are too many salient points fighting for our attention. This is often the result of poor design. When trying to make a persuasive chart, keep in mind the design aphorism, "if everything is bold, nothing is."
Because the tools to create visualizations have become relatively cheap and easy to use, visual communication is exploding. One of the assumptions behind this new era of dataviz is that charts and graphs provide a necessary, compelling, and better way to persuade people. Indeed, in highly charged debates littered with polarized attitudes, our impulse is to just throw more and more charts at each other. "X Charts that Explain Y Topic" articles are legion, and demonstrate just how deeply ingrained the idea has become that if we make it a chart, people will be persuaded it's true.

Benson Henderson
33-Year-Old Bellator Lightweight 24-7-0
December 2, 2016 Benson Henderson News
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Henderson revealed Friday that he has been fighting all year on a torn ACL, Brett Okamoto of ESPN reports.
Henderson has survived three bouts while fighting with the ruptured ligament in his knee, but decided now was finally the time to undergo surgery. He lost by split decision to Michael Chandler, and he fractured his right ankle during that fight as well. He was already going to rest for six months recovery, and this will likely push that timeline back three more months, as the routine ACL recovery takes nine months.
Benson Henderson: Past News Updates ( ▲ View most recent update )
Fantasy AnalysisHenderson gave Chandler quite the run for his Bellator lightweight strap, but came up short in the end and was dealt a split-decision defeat. "Smooth" has been incredibly active since signing with the promotion, as his loss to Chandler was his third fight since April. He'll need to take a break now, however, as the California State Athletic Commission will make him rest six months, barring clearance from a physician.
Fantasy AnalysisHenderson was forced to play defense from the opening bell. Chandler pushed forward with big strikes and slams throughout the fight. It appeared as if Henderson was hoping to wait out Chandler and make a late push. At the end of round four, Henderson locked in a back crucifix, and Chandler was exhausted in between rounds. About halfway through the final round, Henderson took the back and worked for the choke. However, Chandler escaped.
Fantasy AnalysisHenderson will come away with the win, but make no mistake, he was not impressive in this one. He entered as a -300 favorite on most books, but clearly lost the first round after Pitbull landed a higher volume of more damaging strikes. Pitbull seemed to be in control as the second round got going, but mysteriously backed away from Henderson near the halfway point after suffering some sort of knee or ankle injury. As a result, Henderson was victorious by default. Now, Smooth will take on Michael Chandler for the Bellator Lightweight Championship, but little about his performance in this one makes it seem like he'll have the upper hand. This fight will go down on Nov. 19.
Fantasy AnalysisHenderson perhaps bit off a bit more than he could chew in his first fight with the promotion, as he suffered a unanimous-decision loss to welterweight champion Andrew Koreshkov. He'll now look to even the score with the promotion against a fighter who is also looking to avenge a defeat. With a perceived size advantage and a bit more experience in the octagon, look for Henderson to open as a heavy favorite.
Fantasy AnalysisAfter a lengthy period as a free agent, "Smooth" sought greener pastures with Bellator, immediately being rewarded with a title shot in Scott Coker's promotion. Upon his signing, UFC President Dana White characteristically defended his brand with a parting shot aimed at Henderson: "We're looking for top-5 guys, guys that are going from 15 to 1, not the other way around." While the 32-year-old Henderson may be battle worn, it's difficult to rule him out of his prime. Benson most recently defeated Brandon Thatch and Jorge Masvidal in 2015, and holds victories over some of the biggest names in the sport; Frankie Edgar, Nate Diaz, and Donald Cerrone, just to name a few. Should Henderson defeat the surgical striker Koreshkov for Bellator gold, "Smooth" will only continue to cement his status as one of the modern greats in MMA.
Fantasy AnalysisHenderson narrowly edged out Masvidal in a grueling, back-and-forth scrap. Interestingly, Henderson's UFC Fight Night 79 performance was the last fight on his contract. While it stands to reason that UFC brass will pony up for a new contract, Scott Coker of Bellator could always step in and make things interesting, as was the case when Gilbert Melendez nearly signed with the promotion. As he proved on Saturday, Henderson is truly among the current greats in the sport, and back-to-back victories over Brandon Thatch and Jorge Masvidal should only further cement that status.
Fantasy AnalysisAt one point, Henderson and Masvidal were briefly scheduled to fight in April, so this is a fight that has been in the back of each athletes' mind for some time. The pair of 31-year-olds have never faced off before, and the winner should get a crack at a top-5 talent in the welterweight division. Henderson is more likely to rely on his submission skills in this one, while Masvidal prefers to stand and trade, cashing in an 11-1 record in fights ending in knockout.
Fantasy AnalysisWe reported a few days ago that this fight was being targeted and it is now official. Henderson made it known that he wanted to fight on this card and he got his wish. His most recent fight was a submission win over Brandon Thatch back in February.
Fantasy AnalysisLate last month it was reported that Henderson wanted to fight on the South Korea card and it appears that he is close to getting his wish. Henderson had stated that he would be willing to fight at either lightweight or welterweight, but Alves has made it known that he wants to drop down to 155 pounds, so it appears that the fight would take place there.
Fantasy AnalysisAccording to Helwani, Henderson is willing to fight at either lightweight or welterweight. His last fight was in February, a submission win over Brandon Thatch that took place in the 170-pound division. Henderson has been battling some nagging injuries of late, but he should be ready to fight again shortly.

When Gerard Piqué was asked to explain Barcelona's humiliating defeat at the feet of Bayern Munich in last Tuesday's Champions League match, the centre back made no excuses. In keeping with the Catalan team's reputation for being the gentlemen of football, Piqué simply said the Germans had outplayed them.
He was far more gracious than his fellow Catalans, but the fans have stayed faithful and are already out in force putting up the bunting ready for this Tuesday's second leg at Camp Nou.
Yet another defeat would be catastrophic for the region which is deeply scarred by soaring unemployment – triggered by the devastated construction sector – and where anger against the austerity measures of Spain's Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy, is reaching crisis point. If you add into this mix, the simmering disgust towards the royal family following the latest scandals, it's no surprise the Catalonian independence movement is growing by the day and being joined by those – on the left and right – who want to leave the euro.
It's not just northern Spain on the warpath. The number of jobless is even worse in the south and last week's figures show there are now 6.2 million officially unemployed people – 27 per cent of the population. Around 1.7 million jobs have gone from the construction sector alone since the financial crisis, when Spain was forced to call a halt to its madcap building. Around one million properties are now empty.
Most worrying, though, is that six out of 10 of those unemployed are under 25. Yet the real figures among the young are said to be far higher as those who can afford to are furthering their studies. English lessons are said to be booming.
The outlook is even more ghastly. On Friday, the government slashed its 2013 growth forecast from a decline of 0.5 per cent to a 1.3 per cent fall and predicted growth of just 0.5 per cent for 2014. Although depressing, this was at least far more honest than previous forecasts. Indeed, Rajoy – who was pilloried on Twitter for his absence from the press conference announcing the new numbers – has also revised down the deficit forecast for this year to 6.3 per cent of GDP and to 5.5 per cent next year; meaning its EU budget target is out by two years. While this is a real softening in the austerity drive, more tax increases are on their way which will hit consumer confidence further.
Yet the big problem – sorting out Spain's banking system – is not being tackled. Without taking on the banks, most of the economic reforms are meaningless. There's only one way to do this and that's to make them shift capital out of the unhealthy sectors – such as construction and retail banking – and into the export-led sectors and small businesses that have prospects of growth.
As Goldman Sachs's Andrew Benito points out, there's too much "evergreening" – repeatedly extending the terms or increasing the amount – of loans to inefficient sectors and too little net credit creation. Indeed, the European Central Bank's support which kept the banks afloat to avoid a disorderly deleveraging may have encouraged the evergreening while raising the cost of unsecured lending.
What's now imperative is to get credit flowing again. This can only be achieved if the more profitable banks, such as BBV and Santander, take a tougher approach to bad corporate lending. They must be encouraged to call-in existing loans to unviable businesses and extend credit elsewhere.
If they are nervous about such a strike, then Rajoy will have to bang heads. He needs to learn from Piqué that making excuses – or blaming the Germans – doesn't increase your chances of playing a better game.

|[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-1789) getDocValues should provide a MultiReader DocValues abstraction
|Fri, 07 Aug 2009 10:22:14 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1789?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12740492#action_12740492 ] Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-1789: -------------------------------------------- It is nice that DocValues gives us the freedom to do this, but.... I'm not sure we should, because it's a sizable performance trap. Ie, we'll be silently inserting a call to ReaderUtil.subSearcher on every doc value lookup (vs previously when it was a single top-level array lookup). While client code that has relied on this in the past will nicely continue to function properly, if we make this change, its performance is going to silently take a [possibly sizable] hit. In general, with Lucene, we can do the per-segment switching "up high" (which is what the core now does, exclusively), or we can do it "down low" (creating MultiTermDocs, MultiTermEnum, MultiTermPositions, MultiDocValues, etc.), which has sizable performance costs. It's also costly for us because we'll have N different places where we must create & maintain a MultiXXX class. I would love to someday deprecate all of the "down low" switching classes :) In the core I think we should always switch "up high". We've already done this w/ searching and collection/sorting. In LUCENE-1771 we're fixing IndexSearcher.explain to do so as well. With external code, I'd like over time to strongly encourage only switching "up high" as well. Maybe it'd be best if we could somehow allow this "down low" switching for 2.9, but 1) warn that you'll see a performance hit right off, 2) deprecate it, and 3) and somehow state that in 3.0 you'll have to send only a SegmentReader to this API, instead. EG, imagine an app that created an external custom HitCollector that calls say FloatFieldSource on the top reader in order to use of a float value per doc in each collect() call. On upgrading to 2.9, this app will already have to make the switch to the Collector API, which'd be a great time for them to also then switch to pulling these float values per-segment. But, if we make the proposed change here, the app could in fact just keep working off the top-level values (eg if the ctor in their class is pulling these values), thinking everything is fine when in fact there is a sizable, silent perf hit. I'd prefer in 2.9 for them to also switch their DocValues lookup to be per segment. [Aside: once we gain clarity on LUCENE-831, hopefully we can do away with oal.search.function.FieldCacheSource, {Byte,Short,Int,Ord,ReverseOrd}FieldSource, etc. Ie these classes basically copy what FieldCache does, but expose a per-doc method call instead of a fixed array lookup.] > getDocValues should provide a MultiReader DocValues abstraction > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-1789 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1789 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Hoss Man > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.9 > > > When scoring a ValueSourceQuery, the scoring code calls ValueSource.getValues(reader) on *each* leaf level subreader -- so DocValue instances are backed by the individual FieldCache entries of the subreaders -- but if Client code were to inadvertently called getValues() on a MultiReader (or DirectoryReader) they would wind up using the "outer" FieldCache. > Since getValues(IndexReader) returns DocValues, we have an advantage here that we don't have with FieldCache API (which is required to provide direct array access). getValues(IndexReader) could be implimented so that *IF* some a caller inadvertently passes in a reader with non-null subReaders, getValues could generate a DocValues instance for each of the subReaders, and then wrap them in a composite "MultiDocValues". -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Pain Over Pleasure
Pain from a different perspective.
If I had to choose one feeling to live with for the rest of my life, I'd let pain be the ink that stains me for all my days. For pain, I know, will never leave me, and this hole that has been blasted through my resolve, will never truly heal, for a scar will remain, and what else is there to do but accept that which defines you, rather, something you have let define you? A scar, I know, provides at least some comfort in knowing that I can still feel something that will never leave me. Pain.
Pain is everything. It's the smell of the wind and snow, and the familiar buildings upon which memories were honed and sharpened, preparing them for the inevitable plunge they would one day take into the fabrics of my soul. The scents and facades of color and ash that swirl in my world, blending and morphing together like storms of the most malevolent assemblies. I feel your warmth on me still, but only just, only now, the warmth suffocates me in cold adolescence.
As such, this hole in me is black and is voracious in its consumption. Every day function feeds its ire, just as inspiration is robbed prematurely of its power to push onward. And yet onward I go, as a hole, as a dusky cloud poisoning reason with the tainted feelings of the past. Feelings of an old me that still linger in my bones, like scripts of long dead poets no longer accessible. But as it withers, so too does it grow, like the flame of a candle.

Topside Color
Hey There Catalina owners,
We bought our first sailboat last year a 1977 C30 and are loving every moment with her. The boat is coming out in the next few weeks for bottom paint and a few tweaks. Was considering freshening up the topsides as they look a little aged and show the efforts of a lifetime of missed attempts at smooth docking...or something.
I have seen a few Catalinas on various boat classifieds that are light blues and even green. Never yet have I seen a Navy Blue topside. Is changing the color on a Catalina something that could be seen as unquestionable? I just love the look of a dark blue with white trim boat. Would I be bringing her value down? or make her a beauty. I don't plan on selling her anytime soon. Just would like her to stand out and not look like I come at every dock at ramming speed....if you know what I mean.
Any recommendations on Product / prep / and costs would also be appreciated.... was thinking of an interlux product most likely
Re: Topside Color
You can paint her any color you like, I've seen 19 ft cat boats that are all prettied up. I'm sure she would look gorgeous.
It will take much more than just painting. To go from white to dark blue will require that you insure there are absolutely zero defects in the smoothness of the topside. Dark colors show every imperfection. Of course, cause your own dock rash after you have her painted and it will be magnified compared to the ones you have now. Consider that when you decide on what product to use. Some are more repairable than others. The trade off is, the more repairable, the less durable and vice versa.
We too love a dark hull, but you have to go in with your eye's open to the above.
For product, we most recently used AlexSeal and are very happy with it. It's the newest product from the original inventor of AwlGrip. Its as durable as the most durable stuff out there, but they claim it lends itself to repair more than its competition. Not a do-it-yourself product, however, if that's your plan.
Re: Topside Color
Dark for colder climes white for hot climes. A 20 degree F temperature difference on sunny days
One of Frank Butler's old boats has a dark blue hull,:D but a dark blue deck would be uncomfortable hot.
Re: Topside Color
A 20 degree F temperature difference on sunny days
Thanks....I had not even considered that...... wow thats a big difference. All of our sailing is done in the gulf isle. Georgia Strt area.....kinda cool but warm days are common in the summer....
Re: Topside Color
Re: Topside Color
When my boat was white, in BC, the insides of lockers got a bit musty. With dark green the mustiness went away, and while frozen in ice at minus 12 degrees , with the sun on the hull, it felt warm to the touch.
Re: Topside Color
I think if you keep the decks a light colour, esp in summer with the sun higher the temperature difference due to hull colour will not be quite as noticeable as 20 deg.
We went from a medium gray deck to white and noticed a difference.. but most esp underfoot in the sun. The gray got too hot to walk barefoot.
Re: Topside Color
Gray gets almost as hot as black, even the slightest hint of gray.
I once sailed south across the equator with light beige decks. Before sailing home, I painted them white, the difference was huge, like adding air conditioning. Beige doesn't get all that warm in BC summers , nothing like gray. But down there it sure did.

Many metaphors have been used to illustrate the careful cultivation of customer relationships. I've found that growing customers is a lot like tending my garden. The right amount of thoughtful planning and preparation, intelligent nurturing, diligent cultivating — even ruthless pruning, at times — nearly always pay huge dividends at harvest time.
Here are 10 nurturing tips to help make your own customer garden blossom:
- Start with a plan. Make sure taller plants don't block the light from smaller ones. Nurture the plants you love. Identify, individualize and continuously interact with "A" level prospects and clients. "A" clients force you to grow and serve.
- Preparing your soil is half the battle. Databases put relevant information at everyone's fingertips. True knowledge management means knowing what matters most to your customers.
- Individualize your approach to nurturing. Few plant species are truly alike. Peonies may thrive in drought-like conditions, but lily-of-the-valley and shrunken violets won't make it in such an arid climate. One-to-one marketing allows personalized, relevant, useful and nurturing contacts to be managed as a process. Even the most inarticulate nurturer can be supported with an online menu of letters, memos, notes and other expressions of true sentiments.
- Use precision tools. Never use a shovel when the job calls for a spade. Permission, not interruption, leads to long-term relationships. Mass advertising misses the mark in the complex sale. When dealing with high-ticket, high-tech, long sales cycle situations, one-to-one wins.
- To reap top-quality harvests, first plant quality seeds. The farmer always has a choice about which crops to cultivate. As the saying goes, "As ye sow, so shall ye reap."
- When you talk to your plants, say only positive things. Use CRM technology to be responsible for making "touches that matter." People remember people who intentionally create experiences that make them feel special.
- Give stronger, healthier plants ample room to flourish. Weeds consume the same space, nutrients and energy, but unlike "A" customers, yield virtually no saleable harvest.
- Take pride in your flowers, but don't take all the credit. An attitude of gratitude with your team and clients shares the harvest and encourages continued nurturing.
- Don't rest on your shovel. Without a regular maintenance program, your garden will turn into a jungle.Plants, like customers and employees, interpret neglect as indifference and that behavior invariably suppresses vertical growth. The best gardeners know how to prune.
- Never tramp mud into the house.
We can do nothing about last year's harvest, but can do much about this year's crop. Stop pondering the past and begin nurturing the future. Vistage speaker Jim Cecil heads the James P. Cecil Company, a Bellevue, Wash.-based firm specializing in loyalty marketing and customer-relationship strategies.

Hello everyone. I was hopeing someone has had experience or guide me through the following.
We are pulling in orders from another EHR system (eCW) and filing them into our EHR. We are able to do this fine and file the DX codes from the other system under the patient. What I am struggling with is how do I take the clinical questions that were answered in the other EMR system and get them filed under the EHR order that is created? An example would be the question "What is the source of the urine culture?" is asked and the answer of "Voided/Clean Catch" is entered. So now in the OBX segment of the order message coming in from this other EMR system I have the specific question and answer and now whenI file the order into the EHR and the EHR creates it own active order from this I need to have the question and answer recorded so when the EHR order is sent out to the lab the lab system has this information.
I see in the limited instructions from allscripts that I should use field "AdditionalInformation" in the FileOrder SPL. It does show the format but is really doesn't explain in any detail how each part of the format is used in the SPL. I don't know if I need to translate the question and answer to something specific to match a dictionary item or not.
Any help/example would be appreciated. Thanks

Most progressives claim to be science-based, but in their opposition to Motion 312, science ironically proves they're not.
Unless a party somewhere has Newton's Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica as their platform, no political organization is science-based. If any Liberal or New Democrat wants to be part of an institution with a scientific foundation they should enrol in any one of our country's fine post-secondary schools. Imposing the veneer of rational inquiry on a political organization is an insult to the neutrality and objectivity of science and an insult to the values and principles of ideologies that motivate us to change the world.
Yet many progressives, as appears to be a growing trend in North America, claim they, unlike their primitive and barbaric political foes, are science-based, at least in Canada with Liberal and New Democrat opposition to M-312 it's clear that whatever their base is, it isn't scientific.
Motion 312 sought to create a parliamentary committee to review the legal definition of when life begins, this proposal was opposed and successfully defeated by New Democrats, Liberals, and even some Conservatives. Current Canadian law defines the beginning of life as only existing after "complete birth", that is while a fetus five seconds before birth is not alive, five seconds after, is. In other words, our legal system outdatedly believes life is not so much imparted by a biological change as it is by spatial change, just a few inches down the birth canal somehow differentiates nothingness gobblity-goo and a living person.
Such a definition of human life is contrary to our current scientific understanding, the unwillingness of progressives to update it demonstrates science isn't their primary motivation.
The development of life is a process, involving many variables and changes. Though the exact moment of when life begins will most likely never be determined, modern biology has established that in the third trimester a fetus has the same organs at the same developmental stages as a child just born. Therefore if science is truly the ultimate arbiter for progressives, a fetus late in term should be considered alive and a person.
Of course such a fetus can be denied such identification, but that denial is not based on science, for what biological change to the child's nervous system does moving eight inches out of a woman cause? What development, even the most minute, occurs in the brain that imparts life only when a fetus exits a vagina? No biological change occurs to a fetus during birth, therefore the legal definition of when life begins is separate from science, the progressives' opposition to M-312 shows they are too.
Now it is possible that progressives are still adherents to a political movement that is somehow science-based, that perhaps they opposed Motion 312 because they saw Stephen Woodworth, the Conservative MP who proposed it, as wanting to limit womens' rights. Their defeat of the motion thus could be seen as a valid trade-off in values, but besides this still subordinating scientific understanding, the uproar against even opening the discussion, any discussion shows this was not the case and that progressives are against bringing Canadian law up to par with current biological evidence.
Liberals and New Democrats did not oppose this motion because of science, they opposed it because of fear, fear of a slippery slope that could lead to all abortions being prohibited. This is not to say such opposition was wrong, it's to say it was political. And nothing is more political than fear.
But perhaps what really shows that progressives aren't fact-based, even more than their opposition to Motion 312, is their ever-growing interest in another cause that exists almost entirely without evidence, the leadership of Justin Trudeau; something of which even this writer is not excluded from.

This makes absolutely no sense at all.

M-312 sought to update the legal definition of when life begins with current scientific understanding.
Progressives opposed M-312.
As science shows our current legal definition is outdated, in opposing M-312, progressive parties have demonstrated science does not guide their actions.
- Robert McClelland said...
Choosing not to have a discussion does not in any way imply science does not guide their actions.

As I previously noted, progressive parties opposed reconciling an outdated legal definition of when life begins with current scientific understanding. In this instance it is clear science wasn't the paramount concern.

APSLSA member secretary Budi Habung while highlighting the various facilities of the authority, informed that so far the SLSA conducted 283 awareness campaigns besides providing legal aids to 446 persons and had settled 3,411 pending cases through Lok Adalat. He further informed that since its inception in 1998 to November this year, an amount of Rs 1.67 crore has been paid as compensation to victims of any violence.
The APSLSA has been providing free legal aid through counseling, assistance in the conduct of any cases and disputes, organising Lok Adalats, settling matrimonial disputes, spreading legal awareness on issues of social and legal importance besides rendering free legal aid to the prisoners and UTPs, he disclosed.
He said cases like defamation, malicious prosecution, contempt of court proceedings, election disputes and cases involving economic offences and social laws were not under the purview of availing legal aid.

text: sorry if this is a repost. New football league to play in college venues Story Tools: Print Email Blog This FOXSports.com Posted: 2 hours ago A group of college officials headed by former NCAA president Cedric Dempsey is unveiling plans in New York for a new spring minor football league, according to a report in USA Today. The newspaper also points out an interesting twist — the eight teams will use colleges as their "bases" and feature players from those schools and their affiliated conferences and surrounding regions. The teams will play their games in the schools' facilities or in bowl stadiums. All 44-48 players per team must have graduated from college and exhausted their college eligibility. "When you look at some of the minor leagues that failed, this is a different model," said Dempsey, chairman of the All American Football League's managing board. "I think it'll have a lot of interest from a fan standpoint." When the league begins play in 2007, each team will likely play a 14-game schedule from the second week of April through the end of June. Dempsey declined to say which schools would be affiliated — only that they will be tied to the Big Ten, Southeastern and Atlantic Coast conferences. USA Today says the AAFL will start stocking rosters after the NFL's April draft. Players, who'll be employed by the league, will earn about $100,000. What's more, affiliated schools will receive $3 million in stadium rent and would be permitted to keep revenue from parking and concessions. It is an arrangement Dempsey reportedly says could earn schools up to $5 million at a time when their facilities go primarily unused.

Hi Mamabakes3,
in the reply box there are some images at the top, you want to click on the 5th image from the right and it will give you the option to upload a photo, hope this helps
No..............the bunny is scared stiff of bees. Aren't we all? :-)
Trust me, I've seen a lot worse. Not bad at all.
This was my first cake. As you can see, the edges are WAVY! LOL. The pan was a normal 13x9 rectangle. I didn't know at the time to only let the cake rest in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack. It had big chunks falling out and was pieced back together. Good thing my son's birthday is Dec 31st and it was very cold!

AYikes. Here's mine. What a mess of an icing job lol. [IMG]http://cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3200668/width/200/height/400[/IMG]
AI thought this was great when I did it. I got insulted when my friend said that she wouldn't show anyone this cake if I ever wanted a business! She was right! [IMG ALT=""]http://cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3200701/width/350/height/700[/IMG]
AOk here goes....this was for my anniversary last year. Like my second cake ever. A rainbow cake inside which was perfect but I used marshmallow whipped frosting under the fondant....enough said![IMG ALT="*Anniversary cake."]http://cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3180705/width/350/height/700[/IMG] At least my husband loved it. :)
Here's another bad one. It was NOT fun to dedorate and it took forever! I should have iced it all one color to start with and pipe the stripes. It was, however, red velvet and a big hit with my little guy!
ANancy, that's a pretty cake !!!
AYou are very kind, Morgan! It was messy! Nancy
I'd like to join! I don't have a photo of my worst cake which was a cake I made for my husband 7 years ago. The cake didn't bake right- it wasn't edible and the ganache I made was terrible! Not sure what I put into it now come to think of it. It put me off ganache (but not baking cakes!) until recently when I made a lovely batch of ganache, so lovely i can't stop eating it. Anyhow, here is a pic of my worst cakes. I'm posting two because between them, I can't decide which is worse:
The fire engine cake is my first fondant covered cake, can you tell? The top wasn't level which is why the turning table the fire engine is sitting on is wonky. It was also my first RKT model (the truck) and I struggled covering it in fondant.
The batman and robin cake is equally appalling- The buttercream looked smudged in places and for the life of me I could not figure out how to keep his right forearm glued on. Some of the kids at the party also decided to touch the cake in parts, so there were plenty of smudged buttercream and royal icing!
A[quote name="nancylee61" url="/t/18850/post-your-worst-cake/1260#post_7490830"]I thought this was great when I did it.

nancylee, your cake is lovely! Mine is the disastrous one, made with overbeaten (that's my excuse anyway) whipped cream:

I have loved reading this thread, so so funny. I loved the Giant Booties and the melting ladybird.
Here's my contribution. It was my first cake and is supposed to be the 17th hole at Sawgrass Golf Course. I look at it now and am so embarrassed with it. I am especially proud of the bunker sliding into the water! I'm still not great but luckily I've not made one this bad since.
Honest opinion................your friend is just jealous. That cake design is all the rage now. What's wrong with her. It's perfect.
My system keeps acting up. The white roses cake is marked with an X 700 instead of the photo and the blue one ...........well, let's say that if you changed the color it would look like a Cheetos cake and that too is popular now with teens and men. So you win either way. :-)
Just needs a border around the base of the cake and it would be just fine. Seriously. :-)
AJeanie, it looks fine! I think it's a whole new style! I really didn't think it was a mess up. Nancy
AMy favorites are still. chewbaca and the Santa cake! You have to,find them on the thread! The women were such good sports, I give them a ton of credit.
AMy first attempt at an ice cream cake lmao[IMG]http://cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3205760/width/200/height/400[/IMG]

It was a couple of days before the full moon and I was getting a little anxious. In a town like this, things rarely went unnoticed and I didn't want to start attracting attention again. I wasn't sure how things would go here, I hadn't been here long enough to know the area.
I was slightly more aware of the people in the pub tonight, using my sharper senses to listen to anything I might be able to use. It was because of this I noticed Russell again. He had come in a few times and there were rumors that, despite being about the same age as me, he was running from trouble. His white hair and silver eyes made him striking to look at and I smiled at him as I went to take his order.
"Well hey there." I flashed him a smile as he put in his usual order. For some reason, his eyes lingered on my bared shoulder, where my tatoo was. Tonight, I had a deep green vest top that showed my figure and black skinny jeans with leather boots on. A studded belt was slung low on my hips to deter wandering hands. A lot of the male attention had been directed my way. I mainly ignored it but something in Russell's gaze made me hold his eye contact as I flipped my hair to cover the tatoo. I smiled a little less brightly and went to serve some of the other customers, mildly unnerved.
Another regular was sat in one corner of the bar. His eyes also followed me as I went along the bar, slightly narrowed, as though he had seen something that meant a lot to him. I suddenly felt like I had a spotlight on me. Jared James, as I learned he was called, swept his hair from his eyes and beckoned me over.
"What can I get you?" I said, my usual smile in place. He placed an order in a low voice and I passed it on to the other barman. There was something in his eyes that reminded me of Russell. I didn't like it.
After my shift, I went for a wander around the town. It was quiet and the night air was cool as a breeze shifted the dying leaves. It was late autumn, one of the toughest times of the year for a wolf. It became harder and harder to hide our activities as snow and ice settled in.
The moon's effect was strong tonight and I was feeling hot all over. When the time came that the change was forced on me my skin would burn as though flames were underneath and I would shake violently. I would collapse and my human form would shimmer out of sight, replaced by a large wolf, who's fur was a deep red-brown and eyes that were a brilliant, intelligent green. I just hoped that I would be able to control it long enough to get away from the pub; I would have to be working when the full moon rose.
A noise from behind interrupted my thoughts.
"Who's there?!" I yelled, spinning round.

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1967 Chevrolet Corvette
for purchase. The Corvette launched its 2nd generation with the
birth of the Stingray with a complete redesign barely resembling
its predecessors. The Stingray was lighter, had independent
suspension, and was aerodynamically tested. The only American cars
that could produce similar speed were large, heavy Super Stock
optioned Mopars and Super Duty Pontiacs. For the first time, the
United States had mass produced a true all-around sports car.
General Motors really went for it with the C2 stingrays never more evident than the big block 427 engines offered in the last couple years. In 1967, the JE suffix engine was a beast of an offering. It was a 427ci V8 rated 435 hp with three 2-barrel carburetors. With the smooth-shifting 4-speed manual transmission, these engines gave the driver an experience nearly unmatched by any activity with your clothes on.
This '67 Corvette in Marina Blue is a near #1 stunner. This car's condition is nearly unmatched by any Corvette we have ever featured here before. The paint is incredible with a beautiful fit and finish. This car is powered by what the owner states as the JE suffix 427/435 V8 engine and 4-speed manual transmission. Original Cast Iron Heads will come with the car. There are stamped numbers that are open to your inspection. The car also features black leather seats, working clock, upgraded aluminum heads, Boyd Cottington wheels, black stinger hood, blue streak tires, rear mount antenna, and more! This car spent nearly four years at the Gilmore Car Museum as part of their muscle display, and has won many trophies at numerous shows. Come see for yourself what all the fuss is about as the car will not disappoint. Of course, let's not mention how much fun it is to drive one of the most powerful factory cars America has ever produced. Please call or email for more details!
