Business Aircraft
Acquisition and Financing
Written and Produced by Mark Patiky
"Business has gone global and there's no going back," says David Wyndham, Vice President of Massachusetts-based Conklin & de Decker, an aviation cost-analysis firm. "That's driving demand for business aircraft. These days, thinking forward is no longer enough. You have to start thinking upward."
Around the world, the owners and operators of more than 21,000 business aircraft agree. They'll tell you their planes are the ultimate tool for saving time and creating opportunity. They prove daily that a business aircraft is more than just a way to get there. It's an essential factor along the road to profitability.
What's the alternative? Things are not looking up for commercial air travel. The traditional hub-and-spoke system funnels 70% of all passengers through just 30 busy hub airports. For any trip involving a change of plane, no matter how short the distance, airline travelers can count on losing most of a day. The forecast is even gloomier: The FAA projects that annual passenger traffic on U.S. flights will hit the 1 billion mark by 2023. That translates to more delays at the departure gate, on the taxiways and in the air.
The travel penalty associated with commercial air travel is energizing strong interest in business aviation. "It's all about productivity," says a representative from NetJets, a worldwide leader in private aviation. "Private aviation services offer the one return on investment that no one can purchase—time."
Your Guide to Creating Time
In a recent 2010 study of the S&P 600 companies by NEXA Capital Partners, a Washington, DC-based financial advisory firm, Managing Director and CEO Michael Dyment points out that business aviation users were less affected during the downturn and outperformed nonusers across every fundamental driver of shareholder value including profit and revenue growth. "Speed and access are what business aviation is all about," Dyment says. "Access creates the ability to close deals faster, service customers better and accelerate transactions." The NEXA study showed average total returns were 245% higher for companies utilizing a business aircraft than for companies that were not.
"It may be more expensive to fly privately, but it's worth it," says Conklin & de Decker's Wyndham. "What's the cost of missed opportunity? What's the value of your time? Ask not what an airplane costs but instead, what does it cost not to have one?"
That's where this handy how-to guide comes in. The Business Aircraft Acquisition and Financing Guide is your resource for discovering the wide variety of ways to gain access to business aircraft and all the productivity and timesaving benefits they offer. It details some of the most popular options and uncovers some more surprising approaches. It offers smart strategies for first-time buyers. And it speaks to key industry executives who can help you chart the best course for your own needs and develop a customized plan for managing the costs.

While the economic downturn had a major impact on business aircraft acquisitions, "I think the worst is behind us," says Dave Labrozzi, President and CEO of GE Capital Corporate Aircraft Finance. NetJets agrees. "The business aviation market is making a gradual comeback that is characterized by increased levels of flying. We are experiencing improved demand for NetJets fractional ownership, and as the economy improves, there are more reasons to travel privately in order to conduct business in a productive manner."
"If you are not showing up somewhere overseas to market or to manufacture, you're going to lose out," says Joe Dini, President of financial consulting firm Air Credit Alliance. "A business aircraft is a total necessity to be there, be efficient and be competitive." That's something NetJets' owners have discovered. As the only global private aviation company with operations in the U.S. and Europe, and an affiliation in the Middle East, NetJets is uniquely equipped to accommodate owners' international travel needs. NetJets indicated that U.S. owner demand for inter-European flights through the NetJets Europe program is up nearly 25% compared with the first half of 2009.
Something for Everybody
From charter to low-commitment jet cards to fractional and outright ownership, there have never been so many choices for gaining access to business aircraft and their many advantages. Now, innovative programs are offering blended solutions to provide a customized approach and maximize capability and benefits.
The major business aviation providers continue to respond with elastic solutions for travel and payment. NetJets, for example, established a team to develop new products and enhance programs with flexible terms and billing and financing options. The company evaluates how often individuals will be flying, their intended destinations and their anticipated passenger loads, among other factors, to determine the most appropriate share size and the most suitable aircraft. NetJets also offers many lease and loan options that provide owners with the financial flexibility to meet specific needs.
It's one thing to decide on the aircraft and another to estimate how much flying you'll actually do this year and in the future. "With all of our programs, whether the Edge Card, the Axis Membership or the fractional program, we can adjust hours upward or downward to flexibly adapt as needs change," comments Avantair's Matthew Doyle, Senior Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing.
Flexjet offers a wide-ranging array of fractional shares, jet cards and on-demand charter as well as whole ownership through its parent company, Bombardier. "Customers realize a blend of programs could help to optimize their dollars," explains Flexjet's Robert Knebel, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "With the ability to own fractional shares in different models, you can create the ideal solution." In addition, Flexjet's unique Versatility Plus program enables owners to right-size their needs by selling unused hours or buying more hours in the same or other aircraft—without borrowing against future-year usage or adding greater commitment.
Cessna Aircraft's ties with sister company CitationAir highlight the trend toward "mix and match"—combining wholly owned and fractionally owned aircraft. "We have customers who want to have their own airplane, but occasionally need additional aircraft to transport board members to and from monthly meetings," comments Roger Whyte, Cessna Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing. "That's where we can offer them a tailored combination solution." CitationAir Senior Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer Woody Harford points out that by supplementing whole aircraft ownership with a CitationAir Jet Card or Jet Share for one-way flights, corporate flight departments can utilize their own aircraft much more effectively. In addition to this increasingly popular supplemental lift program, CitationAir offers Jet Shares, Jet Cards and whole aircraft management.
Innovative programs are offering blended solutions to provide
a customized approach and maximize capability and benefits.
Owning your own plane opens up a world of possibility, but it also adds a significant level of responsibility. Should you manage the aircraft in-house or outsource to third-party professionals? What about the tax, legal and insurance aspects? And which aircraft should you choose?
GE Capital's Dave Labrozzi, like many other industry experts, says to select the plane that fulfills your needs 80% of the time and use charter, jet cards, fractional share or a combination for your remaining requirements. There's a wide variety of aircraft to choose from, and each one has unique character and advantages.
Cessna, with more jets flying worldwide than any manufacturer, continues to develop new products. The capable and affordable Citation Mustang makes the dream of jet ownership a reality for a wider audience than ever before. Then step up to the light-jet Citation CJ series, the larger Encore, the midsize XLS or the Sovereign, with stand-up cabin and coast-to-coast range. Top of the line is the ultrafast transcontinental Citation 10, which flies at nearly the speed of sound.
There are significant bargains on the pre-owned aircraft market right now, but Cessna's Roger Whyte is bullish on the new-jet market. Buyers are attracted by the latest design improvements and cabin enhancements for connectivity and comfort. New aircraft warranties reduce the initial cost of operation and offer attractive tax advantages, says Whyte. Cessna's product-line similarities ease maintenance and parts concerns, and make the transition to other Cessnas undemanding. And while you're waiting for your brand-new jet delivery, Whyte notes, you can gain full access to the Cessna jet fleet through CitationAir's supplemental lift program.
Shawn Vick, Hawker Beechcraft Executive Vice President, adds that the allure for new buyers is advanced technology, greater capability, enhanced utility and increased fuel efficiency. In addition, Hawker Beechcraft is experiencing strong interest in the new super-midsize, transoceanic-range Hawker 4000 which, Vick says, is driven by growing demand for internationally capable aircraft essential for exploring emerging global markets.
At the other end of the turbine-powered Hawker Beechcraft product line is the top-selling King Air turboprop, which offers remarkable capability, including access to airfields too challenging for many jets. "It's an amazing airplane in terms of reliability, payload-carrying capability and short-field performance," says Vick. The company also produces the fast, all-composite, small-cabin Premier; the Hawker 400, one of the most popular light jets; and the midsize Hawker 750 and 900XP, which offer coast-to-coast range and enhanced performance.
Select the plane that fulfills your needs 80% of the time and use charter, jet cards,
fractional share or a combination for your remaining requirements.
Despite world economic woes, Honda, well known for its success on the roadways, is taking to the airways with a brand-new advanced light jet. Stephen Keeney, Honda Aircraft Senior Manager—Corporate Affairs, anticipates it will capture the attention of a wide range of buyers fascinated by the sophisticated jet's affordability and performance.
With its unique top-of-wing engine configuration, which allows for a larger, quieter cabin, the HondaJet offers outstanding comfort with seating for six passengers and a fully enclosed lavatory, which is not found on most light jets. It will top weather and traffic at 43,000 feet, zip along at 480 mph, take off from short, 3,200-foot runways and fly 1,300 miles without refueling (Miami to Portland, Maine). The latest avionics and engine technology place this new jet on the forward edge of aeronautical development. The first flight is scheduled for November 2010, and first deliveries are projected for third quarter 2012, says Keeney.
Could the dismal economy temper Honda's enthusiasm? "Even though there is caution about investing, there is still a significant market segment that understands the value of business and private jet travel," says Keeney. "They don't want to give up the benefits and convenience, but they may be looking for a way to do it a little more efficiently." The new HondaJet appeals because of its exceptional fuel efficiency, excellent performance and good value, he adds.
Making Aircraft Management Easy
"I think the biggest issue facing first-time buyers is how to manage the airplane," comments Kevin O'Leary, President of Jet Advisors, a private aviation consulting firm. First-time buyers often express concern about day-to-day care, operation, legal compliance and staff demands.
Now programs from Flexjet, Avantair and CitationAir offer all the convenience and safety of a professionally run management program—including crews, maintenance, operation and other ownership requirements—plus whole owners can gain the unique advantages of fractional ownership. These include anytime, anywhere access and access to multiple planes at the same time. Further, a managed aircraft can be utilized within the fractional fleet, earning guaranteed revenue whenever the plane is not needed by the owner.
Says Cessna's Roger Whyte, working in conjunction with CitationAir "we can facilitate management services and enable whole aircraft owners to have their jet operate within the CitationAir fleet." It means added full-ownership benefits plus reduced cost of operation. CitationAir's Harford adds, "It's working out brilliantly for our customers. We've got a national demand so we're able to use that customer's aircraft all over the country." They may own a Citation Sovereign, and for a specific trip, they may want a CJ3, says Harford. CitationAir provides guaranteed access to its entire fleet.
Avantair's Doyle says, "We are seeing more requests for management services. Many whole Piaggio Avanti owners want to offset their costs. They can do that by leasing back a portion of their available flight hours to Avantair's fractional program."
Knebel mentions that Flexjet offers a couple of different managed aircraft products. One is called 'Flexjet One,' which he says can drive hourly operating cost to very low levels, something particularly relevant in the current economy. Flexjet One combines all whole ownership benefits with full fractional ownership advantages, so you can call for any fleet aircraft at any time, use multiple aircraft simultaneously, call for your aircraft anywhere and have it available within hours without concern for empty-leg flights.
"Speed and access are what business aviation is all about. Access creates the ability
to close deals faster, service customers better and accelerate transactions."
Michael Dyment, Managing Director and CEO, NEXA Capital Partners
Jet cards offer fractional ownership consistency, service and quality but they also minimize financial and flight time commitment. Much like a debit card, flight time is prepaid, typically in 25-hour increments. "It's not the least expensive way to travel but you can walk away and, in most cases, receive a full refund on the unused card balance," says Jet Advisor's O'Leary.
Each provider offers unique options:
Once considered a long-term commitment to a single aircraft, fractional ownership programs offer myriad ways for opting out, upgrading or downgrading and making countless other adjustments. In many cases, you can sell your shares and exit the program after one to two years.
Avantair is experiencing vigorous Edge Card and Axis Club Membership sales, but Doyle also sees a recovery in the fractional market. "Private aircraft travelers," he says, "are not willing to go back to flying on the airlines. They need the ability to travel on their own schedule and get to airports closer to their final destination." It's not top executives who are traveling the most either. "It's middle management visiting plants, store locations or customers," says Doyle. "They are using their time in a smarter way." The turboprop Avanti's ability to negotiate shorter runways means far greater access than many jets can provide, and with cabin dimensions rivaling that of a midsize jet, the Avanti represents lower cost without compromise on space and comfort.
Flexjet is experiencing an uptick in new fractional owner interest, which has increased more than 50% compared to last year, says Knebel: "Businesspeople are exploring new opportunities. A business jet can get them there quickest." Flexjet owners, he says, are going to more places than ever before and they are trying to do business at thousands of locations that commercial airlines don't serve.
Through a unique program called "Versatility Plus," Flexjet offers the opportunity to right-size usage as needs and circumstances change—enabling the purchase of additional hours or sale of excess hours in order to fine-tune requirements. Shares are available exclusively in Bombardier aircraft, including the Learjet 40XR, 45XR, 60, transcontinental Challenger 300 and intercontinental Challenger 605.
Flexjet customers traveling abroad commercially can take advantage of VistaJet in Europe, which operates a fleet of Bombardier aircraft. They have guaranteed access within Europe and the Middle East and can take advantage of preferred rates. No additional capital investment is required.
NetJets also continues to see a steady influx of new owners attracted by a wide range of benefits, including its global fleet of aircraft ready with as little as four hours' notice, and safety and service standards that are the benchmark for the industry. NetJets, owned by Berkshire Hathaway, created the idea of fractional ownership and offers the widest range of aircraft—13 models in all. The company has the largest number of owners and operates fleets on both sides of the Atlantic. Owners have full interchange privileges wherever they reside.
New and existing owners are gravitating to multiple solutions, and NetJets, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Executive Jet Management, is addressing those needs with services ranging from fractional share and lease options to charter services. In addition, the company reports that many corporations with existing aviation departments utilize NetJets to supplement their flight operations.
Like other providers, CitationAir is experiencing flying rates that are closer to normal, signaling a turnaround in business activity. The company continues to offer fractional share ownership in three of the most popular and economical Cessna jets, but its focus has shifted to a more comprehensive approach. In coordination with Cessna Aircraft, CitationAir is offering management options, fleet-owner support and economical Jet Cards.
Airline Partnerships
Two unique partnerships underscore the trend toward an integrated approach to business travel:
With wide-ranging aircraft choices and programs, a vital need for business mobility and prices at record-low levels, there has never been a better time to buy. Over the past two years, aircraft values have declined across the board and often exceeded a 30% drop, creating an opportunity for buyers entering the market because prices appear very favorable on a long-term basis.
In that regard, GE Capital's Dave Labrozzi thinks leasing deserves a close look. Leasing has distinct business advantages for those who don't want to tie up a large amount of capital or can't gain additional tax benefits from depreciation, he says. Tax savings shifted to the lessor pass back to the lessee in the form of lower monthly payments. It's a great way to gain the advantages of a business aircraft while retaining capital for other expansion opportunities.
A big hurdle for those seeking loans or leases has been credit availability. Labrozzi confirms that there are a smaller number of suppliers and credit standards are tougher, but credit is available for well-capitalized, creditworthy customers.
Leasing works as well for fractional shares as it does for whole aircraft financing. Flexjet offers a sensible lease product, called the Walk-Away Lease. It's easy to get into, and should circumstances change, it's very easy to exit, says Knebel. Over the past couple of years, this popular lease program has accounted for close to 40% of Flexjet's business, he adds.
Fractional ownership programs offer myriad ways for opting out,
upgrading or downgrading and making countless other adjustments.
Much more than just a means of transportation, today's business aircraft are taking countless companies and individuals to new heights of productivity and success. With careful evaluation of the many choices available, your company, too, can take advantage of the amazing benefits a business aircraft can offer. "Even in a world where communication continues to improve, there is no substitute for face-to-face meetings to build trust and to close transactions that are generally critical to corporate growth," says NEXA's Michael Dyment.
So go ahead. Join the tens of thousands of companies and individuals that have dramatically changed the way they do business and live their lives. Don't waste another minute—it's time you started seeing the world from a whole new perspective.

Breckenridge PD, CPW confirm mountain lion living in Cucumber Gulch
January 12, 2014
Officials with Colorado Parks and Wildlife have confirmed the presence of a mountain lion living in the area of Cucumber Gulch in Breckenridge.
The mountain lion has not behaved in a threatening way and has not been visible during daylight hours, according to a Breckenridge Police Department news release.
It is important to note that wildlife, including mountain lions, are not new to Summit County, the release stated.
Breckenridge police issued the following tips for residents living or recreating in mountain lion country:
• Make plenty of noise from dusk to dawn when mountain lions are most active.
• Closely supervise children whenever they play outdoors in areas where mountain lions are active. Talk with children about lions and teach them what to do if they meet one.
• When walking or hiking in lion country, travel in a group and make plenty of noise.
• If a lion is encountered, stay calm, move slowly and speak firmly. Stop or back away slowly if it is safe to do so. Running may stimulate a lion's instinct to chase and attack.
• Appear larger by raising your arms and opening your jacket if wearing one.
• If a lion becomes aggressive, throw stones, branches or anything else in arm's reach to convince it you are not prey and that you are a danger to it.
• Predators follow prey. Do not feed any wildlife.
• Keep your pet under your immediate control. Obey lease laws. Roaming pets are easy prey and can attract lions and other wild animals. Bring pets indoors at night.
• Don't feed pets outside, as it can attract other animals that are eaten by lions. Store all garbage securely.
• Encourage neighbors to follow these simple precautions to prevent a possible lion confrontation.
More tips and information about mountain lions are available online at http://www.wildlife.state.co.us or http://www.townofbreckenridge.com.

Why You Should Invest in ASaaS, not PaaS
Over the last few months we've become fascinated by the Platform as a Service (PaaS) market because after an initial phase where it was dominated by platform-specific and language-specific offerings, a set of Universal PaaS are emerging, many of which are based around the Open Source Cloud Foundry from VMware. In addition to PaaS, there is a class of vendors who provide external services to PaaS through "marketplaces" that the vendor sets up. We refer to these generically as Application Services as a Service (ASaaS). The stakes are potentially huge – the PaaS takes over from the Operating System as the dominant factor in the purchasing decision for server-side technology. We're not saying it definitely will happen, but it might.
AppFog – Polyglot Public/Private PaaS goes GA
AppFog (the company formerly known as PhpFog) has become the latest enthusiastic adopter of CloudFoundry to go to General Availability with a value-added implementation of the open source CloudFoundry.org stack. The key differentiator is the RAM-based pricing policy around the Public Cloud offering – roughly $25 per GByte per month (first 2Gbytes are Free).

Repeal? | Richmond Times-DispatchRepeal?
By Staff Reports
Published: February 17, 2010
Virginia's one-gun-a-month law worked. The bipartisan measure -- its passage was a product of pressure from Democrat Doug Wilder and Republican Richard Cullen, then U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia -- helped impair the drugs-for-guns circuit up and down the East Coast.
But some members of the General Assembly, such as Del. Scott Lingamfelter, want to repeal the law. They say that it has served its purpose, that it has been supplanted by instant background checks and related measures. They have a point.
One-gun-a-month served a practical function. But it also compromised important principles by infringing on the right to bear arms enshrined in the Constitution. Like Del. Joe Morrissey, who asked whether the law truly inconviences anyone, advocates of the measure stress that one gun a month should be enough for anyone; no one "needs" to buy more than that. Perhaps. On the other hand, rights are not supposed to be constrained by what some people think other people need. It could be argued that newspapers do not need to publish more than once a week, that nobody needs to buy more than two books a month, that the faithful do not need to attend church more than twice a year, or that no woman should need more than one abortion in her lifetime. Those are not decisions government should make.
We supported one-gun-a-month in 1993. But we have long argued that statutes and programs should not have eternal life. Otherwise America will gradually be smothered by relics such as the mohair subsidy, the national helium reserve, and "temporary" taxes dating back to the War of 1812. Now is as good a time as any to take a fresh look at one-gun-a-month. Careful consideration may lead to the conclusion that repeal is warranted -- and perhaps even overdue.

Good point on the law not truly inconveniencing anyone, but nice comparison to 2 books per month. No different than free speech being limited to 500 words per month.
Even though none of could afford more than one a month, every month, I'm sure many of us have bought more than 1 in a month at some point. Somehow, that didn't translate into drug-fueled gun trade.

Buenos Aires is a heady introduction. The city oozes style for visitors of all ages –not least in La Boca, a neighbourhood painted in rainbow colours, where you can watch artisans at work and visit the beating heart of the nation: La Bombonera football stadium! (Maybe you'll be inspired to play like local lad Maradona?) Finish up with a sizzling steak –it will probably be the best dinner you'll ever eat.
Of course, there's a reason that Argentine steak tastes so good, and it's because of the country's endless pampas grassland. Here you can stay on a welcoming estancia and learn to ride horses just like a cowboy. Feel the freedom of galloping across the open plains, chow down on a traditional parrilla (grill) or -if the family is feeling competitive -learn how to play a game of polo.
Further south, Argentina takes a turn for the wilder. The Andean foothills and pretty chalets around Bariloche have earned the area the nickname of Little Switzerland. Even the chocolate here is yummy -and you can take a tour of the tastiest spots! Stuff your face, then work it all off with kayak trips across Alpine lakes and easy hikes across flower-strewn meadows.
Patagonia is more dramatic still. Here you can feel like a proper explorer, strapping on crampons to walk across the Perito Moreno Glacier, learning to navigate its ice caves and crevasses. Camping at eco-friendly Adventure Domes, geodesic tents with windows out onto the wildlife-rich forest, adds an extra thrill. Look out for condors, llama-like guanacos and rhea (small ostrich).
From falling ice to roaring water, the north of Argentina is home to Iguassu Falls. This immense horseshoe of tumbling cascades is one of the planet's most impressive, and wooden walkways lead you up close –be prepared to get wet! The rainforest around the falls is fascinating too: here you might glimpse handsome toucans, cheeky monkeys and iridescent butterflies as big as birds. Wild and wonderful indeed.
Did you know...

My husband and I have just returned from caister on sea .. the site was found to be one of the better maintained and clean sites I have visited. Our caravan was a prestige and we were very impressed on the standard of cleanliness.I have stayed at many of the Haven sites over the last 20 years in the same grade caravan and this would be one of the best. The Mash and Barrel was also very clean. However we found that the food was not hot enough (breakfast). Staff were all helpful and pleasant. Entertainment was good. This site is located well if you like to explore. So well done to all the teams ..

You remember the feeling when you first saw a mobile app you created running on an actual device. You took the app with you and showed it around. There's something magical about it. And you still get the same kicks (even if you don't necessarily say it out loud) when your app is approved in store, or you get that five star reviews from strangers. No matter how many times you've done that, it's always a great feeling to deliver a quality app to users.
Mobile apps have changed the world, and they have definitely changed your life. While smartphones are just tools and toys for others, for you they are platforms for creating digital services that people love. You've been working with at least Android or iOS for some time, and possibly other ecosystems as well.
Now you are looking for a new challenge. You want to be working with the best developers and designers out there. You want to have colleagues with whom you can have meaningful conversations about technologies and the world around them. You can definitely show them a thing or two about development, and are also eager to learn in return.
We're looking for passionate Android and iOS developers who want to have an impact on people's lives, love new challenges and enjoy life on the edge. We offer you inspiring work and you can learn from.
What awaits you in Futurice
- Concepting digital services in an interdisciplinary team, together with our clients from various industries
- Development of top-notch native apps for Android or iOS and watchOS
- Sharing experiences and learnings with your colleagues
- Constant learning and self-improvement through conferences and team events
- Flat hierarchy where your voice will be heard
What we expect
- You are fluent in written and spoken English, and can express yourself clearly and concisely. It doesn't hurt if you also speak Finnish.
- You have published apps, preferably well-rated, in app stores. They can be work or hobby projects.
- You have worked as a part of development teams using agile methodologies.
- You have a good understanding of the comparisons between other platforms and cross-platform approaches, as well as future trends.
- You have a passion and skill required to build and ship high-quality software.
- You have a strong command of the development frameworks, toolset (incl. testing-related) and popular third-party libraries.
- It's a plus if you have experience with Swift [iOS], functional reactive frameworks, modern architectures (e.g. MVC, MVVM, VIPER) and dependency injection.
- You are able to discuss project work with our customers, over phone, video conference, or at our or their premises. Some travelling may be required.
What's in it for you
Probably the best part about working at Futurice are the colleagues. You get to work with some of the most brilliant and talented professionals of the digital world. In Futurice, software engineers work closely together with our designers, analysts, and business consultants, as well as with our customers. Our aim is to grow the next generation of digital leaders, and that's why this is the place to be for learning.
We also offer a competitive compensation, and a work culture that has been awarded internationally. Our core values are care, trust, transparency, and continuous improvement that we try to embrace and share as much as possible.
To convince us that you are one of us, don't just tell us where you have worked or studied. Tell us who you are, and where you are heading at. Describe what you already know, and what you will learn next. You might also want to take a look at our five steps to a great application for more inspiration.

Teaching support staff at Simon Fraser University voted 92 per cent in favour of job action.
Chief Steward Reagan Belan says claims SFU's Administration has been unwilling to address or even acknowledge the problems facing its members.
"We feel as if we have been spinning our wheels, and our employer is not interested, or has been strategically, not interested, in asking us constructive questions about the problems we're trying to address."
Belan says job security, benefits and equity, priority access to Teaching Assistant work for graduate students, and equal pay for equal work, are among the issues they need addressed.
The TSSU represents more than 14-hundred, mostly non-tenured teaching staff at the University. Bargaining is set to resume next month.

Husqvarna Construction Products' launches two new cutting carts, the KV 760 and KV 970/1260 that are specially designed to fit Husqvarna gas power cutters. These carts make it easy to cut in straight or curved lines, close to walls or curbs.
The quick connections make it easy to install the cutter on the cart, which means operators are ready to start cutting within a matter of seconds. The depth limiter facilitates easy adjustment of the cutting depth.
The carts come standard with a 3.5 gal (13.3 liter) pressurized water tank and a 10 ft (3 m) hose that connects to the water nozzle on the blade guard. This new feature, together with the power cutters' water-saving cutting system, allows hours of cutting with or without the cart.
Another feature on the carts is the lateral adjustment. The wheels can be moved to the left or right, allowing the machine to cut close to walls or curbs. The handle has also been redesigned with a soft insert, making it more comfortable to operate. The fuel cap has been relocated to the right side to make refueling more efficient. The cart also folds to facilitate transporting the cart as well as storing the cart.
The KV 760 fits the K 760 power cutter and the KV 970/1260 fits the K 970 or K 1260 power cutters.
Main Benefits
• Quick and easy installation - thanks to the quick connections the power cutter is easy to install
•Lateral Wheel Adjustment - wheels can be moved to either side to facilitate cutting close to walls and curbs
•Water-saving - 3.5 gal pressurized water tank and 10 ft. hose along with the power cutters' water-saving wet cutting system allow for hours of cutting with our without the cart
• Easy transportation - the cutting cart is easy to fold to help transport and store the unit

Kassatex Extends Lines
March 9, 2010,
Kassatex's sleek new showroom at 295 Fifth Avenue showcases not only the breadth of the company's bath and bedding lines, but also reflects some of the investments made during the economic downturn. These include signing up for the prime, street-level showroom space long occupied by Creative Bath; boosting the size of its distribution center in Miami; entering the luxury bedding business, and launching a kids line in bath.
New this market in the core bath towel segment is Sublime, a top-of-the-line garment-dyed towel with piped edge. Made in Portugal, Sublime is available in eight colors and will wholesale for $22.
Also new is Contemp, made in Turkey of long-staple Mesopotamian cotton grown by the mill itself.
"Instead of the fabric being dyed, each piece is dyed individually," said Khoudari. "When you dye one piece at a time, you get a vintage look and a softer hand. The loops pop open."
Also new in bath: a reversing waffle/terry construction, coordinating rugs for kids bath, new kids towel constructions, and new fashion accessories that include pieces made of bamboo and rubber wood.
The showroom is also making a big statement in fashion towels, with a variety of designs.
In bedding, the take is subdued luxury in the four beds shown on the floor.
"We do mostly solid color, but with very good fibers," said Khoudari. Among the new offerings is Sienna, constructed of rayon from bamboo and organic cotton, and Letto, 100% rayon from bamboo with three embroidery options.

Free Learning Pack available for you
Advance care planning (ACP) allows older people to regain some control over the future, by helping to ensure that they receive support and care in accordance with their wishes. An advance care plan can be an important way to ensure dignity in later life. As a staff member in a care home, you need to be knowledgeable, skilled and confident about discussing this vital issue with your residents.
We've designed a FREE Advance Care Planning learning pack to help you. You can use this to give yourself a good grounding in ACP or to help train your colleagues.
Register to download the Advance Care Planning Learning Pack by creating an ACP User Account (click on the "Register" button and complete the details).
If you've already got an ACP User Account, just login using the Log In box opposite.
Registration is free, no-obligation, and not only gives you access to the free learning pack but also allows you to sign up to our regular email about advance care planning issues. You can unsubscribe from our mailing list at any time and we won't sell, pass on or misuse your email address.
Click on the "Register" button and complete the detail.
What do people think about the learning pack?
Many practitioners and care home staff have already downloaded the learning pack, and it's been trialled by staff in eight care homes across the UK. Their feedback is overwhelmingly positive:
"This is an excellent product which will provide much needed resources for training."
Julie Jones, Chief Executive Officer at Social Care Institute of Excellence
More praise for the learning pack:
What is 'Advance Care Planning'?
None of us know what the future holds. None of us know if or when we will need the support of others.
What is a certainty is that if that need arises, we would all like to be supported according to our wishes and preferences. It therefore follows that if carers, be they professionals or not, know what our wishes and preferences are, then there is a greater likelihood that we will be supported at all times as we would like, even if we are unable to say. This requires people to think about, discuss and then record their wishes, so that relevant carers know at all times these wishes and preferences.
This is the process of 'advance care planning' (ACP).
ACP is usually associated with End of Life Care. However, in care homes for older people there may be times other than at the end of life when a resident is not able to express their wishes and if an advance care plan has been recorded, this can help staff know how the person would like to be supported. So an advance care plan can aid a person's dignity if they are cared for as they would like and it can enhance their sense of control over their lives. Many residents in care homes will need some support from staff to complete an advance care plan.
This site will help you learn more.

Decorating Bags Tips
Crafting Time:
- Varies
Skill Level:
- Intermediate
Project Courtesy of: Wilton Industries
Additional Information
The tip determines the shape of the decoration. There are 6 basic tip families, each of which is available in various sizes.
- STAR: Star tips make decorative stars to fill in character cakes and for borders of stars, shells and zigzags.
- ROUND: Use smaller round tips for vines, stems, dots, lettering, outlines, beads & figure piping.
- PETAL: Creates beautiful flowers like ribbon roses and the famous Wilton Rose. Ruffles are also achieved with petal tips like tip 104.
- DROP FLOWER: To make the standard star drop flower, hold the bag up straight & squeeze, or, twist your wrist to make a swirl drop flower.
- LEAF: Each style can make a basic leaf, ruffled leaf or stand-up leaf depending on the techniques used while squeezing the bag.
- SPECIALTY: Use the elongated round tip 230 to fill eclairs, bismarcks & cupcakes. The multi-opening tip 233 creates clusters of strings for flowers & grass.
Strong, reusable bags made of flexible coated polyester. Lightweight, dishwasher safe. Sizes from 8" to 18".
- Specially coated to prevent any seepage of grease, Featherweight Bags are the most durable choice.
- Use Couplers to change decorating tips easily on the same icing bag. The 2 parts of the Coupler are the base and the ring. They fit together to hold the decorating tip in place.
- Featherweight Bags can be used with or without a Coupler. To use without a Coupler, drop the tip inside the bag with the narrow end pointing down.
- Remove Coupler; wash in dishwasher or in hot, sudsy water after each use.

A Forgotten Sun
Basically I came up with a beginning paragraph and decided to post it here. So collab. away! :)
You know, sometimes I was afraid of that setting sun. The way it sunk below the horizon into the night sky like it was nothing more than a shimmer of hope. I once believed that the world was a good place. As a child my eyes would light up at the thought of playing in the sandbox, or running my fingers through the blades of green grass. I remembered the hot sun beating down upon my sunburnt face, and watched as it turned my hair a few shades lighter. But as I watched the sun sink below the colours of a beautiful haze, I couldn't help but to think to myself... "O, what a wonderful world" just might have gotten the lyrics wrong. Now, those out there who are optimists do believe that there is some shred of dignity and salvation left, but I... knowing what I am, believe otherwise.

Anne Karpf's column was tosh. Any understanding of road safety has to start with Newton's three laws of motion, before moving on through engineering into advertising and psychology. This is the approach that gave us the world's safest roads. The attempt to apply political/feminist notions of correctness has produced the first increase in "killed, or seriously injured" figures for decades.
Royce Creasey (vehicle engineer)
Greenbank, Bristol
Well done Anne Karpf for highlighting the assassins on our roads. As she says, "it's made to seem as though the car drives the driver". Not hard to find out who's making it that way: on page 61 you carry an ad for a performance car "that demands to be driven". On pages 28-29, another ad for a car offering "breathtaking performance".
Steve Joseph
Alexander Chancellor writes that dogs are "unacceptably burdensome on people whose main concerns are their own convenience and welfare". If dog owners were concerned about other people's convenience and welfare (as his argument suggests), then I would not be so burdened with the task of clearing away their dogs' faeces from the pavement in front of my home.

Contrary to Bill McClelland's view (Dear Weekend, March 6), veganism isn't about sanctimoniousness - it's a practical, compassionate response to the destructiveness, cruelty and waste caused by the meat and dairy industries. It is easy to talk of "consistency" and then scoff at those trying for change. Most vegans are all too aware of the impossibility of avoiding all suffering, but they do more than their fair share to alleviate urgent problems.
Jane Easton
St Andrews, Bristol
First a vegetarian accuses meat-eating animal lovers of being hypocritical; then a vegan accuses vegetarians of being hypocritical; and now Bill McClelland accuses vegans of being inconsistent and sanctimonious. Surely the real issue is cruelty to animals. I would urge everyone to concentrate on doing what they can to reduce the suffering we inflict on animals through vivisection, farming, hunting, etc.

Ski competitions began in Norway in the 19th century and the country's famous Holmenkollen ski festival was first held in 1892. The main focus was originally Nordic combined events but a separate cross-country race was introduced at the Holmenkollen festival in 1900.
Nordic Combined has been part of every Winter Olympics. The individual event has been contested since the first Games and the team event was added in 1988. The sprint competition, which uses the large hill, made its Olympic debut in Salt Lake City in 2002.
The Olympic competition features men only. A women's world championship was held for the first time last year, with Lindsey Van of the U.S. taking the title.
The individual normal hill competition has been shortened since the 2006 Winter Games, with competitors now taking one jump instead of two and racing over 10 kms instead of 15.
Individual normal hill - combines one jump from the normal hill (90 metres high) and a 10-km freestyle cross-country race on the same day. Jumps are awarded points for length and style by the judges.
The points leader from the ski jumping section starts first in the race with the others staggered behind him, according to time differences calculated on the official Gundersen Table which is used to translate points into time. The table is named after the man who devised it, Norwegian Gunnar Gundersen. The first person to cross the line wins the gold.
Individual large hill - combines one jump from the large hill (120 metres high) with a 10-km freestyle cross-country race on the same day. Again, the leader from the ski jumping starts first in the race.
Team event. Four-man teams compete in a ski jumping competition on the normal hill followed by a 4x5-km freestyle relay race. Each team member jumps once and the team's total score determines the starting order in the relay, with the best team starting first. The same four athletes must compete in both sections of the competition. The first man across the finish line wins for his team.
Individual Gundersen (normal hill): Georg Hettich (Germany)
Sprint (large hill): Felix Gottwald (Austria)
Team: (Austria - Michael Gruber/Christoph Bieler/Felix Gottwald/Mario Stecher)
Large hill: Bill Demong (US)
Normal hill: Todd Lodwick (U.S.)

The jumping will take place at the C$120-million (£71 million) Olympic Park in Whistler, some two hours north of Vancouver, which can accommodate 12,000 spectators. Organisers say the two hills have one of the world's most sophisticated ski jump snow refrigeration and track setting systems.
The maximum flight distance of the large hill is 140 metres with a top take-off speed of 96 kph. The normal hill's top flight distance is 106 metres with a top take-off speed of 89 kph.
The cross-country venue has 10 kms of competition trails in two 5-km loops and a stadium area.
The United States have never won a Nordic Combined medal but look set to make the podium at least once in Whistler after winning three individual golds at the 2009 World Championships.

Possession: The Strange Life of Walenty Karnowski Published by Outskirts Press
Gerald R. Schmidt concocts a brew of Catholic Poles, Lutheran Prussians and local Jews in this supernatural 19th century tale of sexual obsession, demonic possession and the role a baby plays at the cultural center of this turbulent religious world.
In 1842 in the once peaceful Polish countryside, now dominated by Prussian rule, young Marta Nering gives birth out of wedlock to the babe Walenty. Moishe Karnowski, the father, a sexually addicted peddler and the son of the town's rabbi, is soon after drawn deep into the woods by a coven of Satan worshippers. He becomes possessed by demons who propel him on a pornographic spree of graffiti writing and desecration of the Eucharist at several local churches.
Moishe's demonic possession and sinister acts of sexual and religious obsession continue to escalate and the local townspeople are forced to lock their doors as the hexed wares of the possessed peddler cause various evils to befall some of his customers. After kidnapping his tiny son Walenty for a sacrifice to the coven on the day of Corpus Christi, Moishe has the baby stolen from him by a man who hopes to use Walenty to extort a ransom. Moishe finds the man, kills him and rapes and kills his concubine, but forgets to take Walenty with him back to the coven. He does have a communion host, however, and this satisfies the coven as the centerpiece for their next sexual orgy.
The Strange Life of Walenty Karnowski continues with the pursuit of Moishe by an inept German detective and a Catholic exorcist whose first attempt fails to rid Moishe of the twelve demons now possessing him. Schmidt weaves a suspenseful web of surprising twists and turns for the tragic Moishe in this fifty year saga of Polish history and culture where religion is no Hollywood prop, but is the driving force behind this fascinating narrative.
The Strange Life of Walenty Karnowski is available on-line in paperback through Amazon and Barnes and Noble and at www.outskirtspress.com/
Format: 6 x 9 paperback cream ISBN: 978-1-4327-7226-

Lake County school board majority against proposal to arm teachers, principals
LAKE COUNTY, Fla. - It's official: Lake County will not be considering giving guns to teachers or principals to protect schools.
In wake of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary in Conn., board member Bill Mathias said he believed the best way to keep students in the district's 20 elementary schools safe was to arm principals with handguns as an alternative course of action.
But on Monday, three out of five school board members shot down the proposal.
Channel 9's Berndt Petersen was at the special meeting, and said there were plenty of parents in attendance who supported the proposal, which Mathias called the "defender initiative."
"That doesn't mean it's the only course of action," Mathias said, defending his proposal. "It wasn't meant to cause this much excitement."
About 50 people packed into the meeting, and parents spoke out for nearly an hour.
"The only effective way to protect anyone, including our kids, from a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun," said parent Andy DuBois.
"There is no way I'd arm teachers and staff with a gun at school," said parent Theo Bob.
School board member Rosanne Brandeburg said teachers she talked to didn't want the proposal to move forward.
"She went on to say that if we were going to go along with this idea, she would resign," Brandeburg said of one teacher.
Board member Debbie Stivender was one of the other board members to vote against the proposal.
"My son is a member of the NRA. I also have a gun at home. It's our right. But the school is not where guns need to be," she said.
Mathias says it wasn't his intention to cause so much controversy, but he still defended his proposal.
"The reality is it was between five and 15 minutes to respond. You can kill an awful lot of children in five to 15 minutes," he said.
The Lake County Sheriff's Office has since put a deputy in every elementary school after the tragedy in Connecticut, but there's no agreement between the sheriff, the school system or the county commission on how much longer those officers will be present.

Thank you so much for the reply. It really had me thinking last night so I did some research and sure enough, there she was. No one in my family had any idea. James was my great grandfather. How very sad that Valley and Hazel both died shortly after child birth. Do you know the cause of Hazels death by chance?

I'm sorry. I read the dates incorrectly. It does not state he was married at 10. Whoops. But I don't ever recall hearing about a Hazel, which I would appreciate more information on. Thanks again.

Good evening, I came across my great grandfather, who was James Edward Brawner, and I noticed you have him married at 10 years old to a Hazel. As far as I know, he was never married at 10, and never married to a Hazel. The only wives he ever had were Valderesy Weimer and Eva. Can you please confirm where the information on Hazel came from? Thank you so much!

In the garden
By Patty Campbell, Special to the Citizen 07/02/12
Pet worms? Well, not exactly.
But those whose plants have benefitted from the rich vermicompost that worms produce are usually enthusiastic about having a plastic bin of these wiggly red creatures in their home. Vermicompost is a humus-like material that contains large numbers of worm castings produced when organic materials pass through a worm's gut.
"It's an alternative to conventional backyard composting," said Henrico Extension Agent Karen Carter. "And it's generally a faster process."
Conventional composting depends on micro-organisms to break down organic wastes. Vermicomposting uses worms for most of that work. The worms are housed in a plastic "worm bin." Carter periodically gives "make and take" workshops for people interested in trying the process.
"None are scheduled right now," said Carter, "but if you're interested, call the Extension Office, and we'll put your name on a waiting list."
To make a worm bin, drill air holes around the top of a 14-gallon plastic container, roughly 24 x 16 x 12.5 inches. Add roughly 4 pounds of shredded newspaper, a gallon of water, and 2 quarts each of coffee grounds and purchased bagged compost.
"We recommend the bagged compost," said Carter. "With backyard compost, you run the risk of bringing in insects."
Last, and most important, add a pound of worms.
"Be sure you get the right worms," said Carter. "That's critical because not just any earthworm will work. You need Eisenia fetida, the red wiggler worm."
The worms are commercially available on line, or you may be able to get them from someone who is already vermicomposting. Periodically, the bins have to be divided both as a method of harvesting the vermicompost and because the worms can easily double in number.
"Harvesting the compost can be the most challenging part," said Carter. "Some people use purchased systems rather than making their own because they can make separating the worms from the vermicompost a little easier."
Worms can eat most fruits and vegetables provided they are not too salty or too acidic. Meat, dairy products, and fatty or greasy foods shouldn't be given to the worms. Coffee grounds including the filters and tea bags also make excellent food.
"Make sure you don't overfeed the worms," cautioned Carter. Under optimum conditions, worms can process their body weight in food each day. Typically, however, they can't quite eat that much, and overfeeding can create odor problems.
Carter recommends anyone interested in starting a worm bin look online at the Virginia Extension publication, "Composting Your Organic Kitchen Wastes with Worms."
"It's excellent," she said. "But we recommend one slight change. Don't drill drainage holes in the bottom of the bin. Not having them doesn't turn out to be a problem, and sometimes having those holes in the bottom of your bin makes a mess."
Without the drainage holes, a worm bin can be kept in the kitchen or basement, anyplace where temperatures don't fall below freezing or go over 100 degrees Farenheit.
"Vermicomposting can be more convenient than backyard composting," said Carter. "Plus, it's an interesting process to watch, particularly if you have children and want to teach them about the natural world."

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