Although one of his offspring failed to sell for a record RNA price of $7.7 million, A.P. Indy did have the session-topper and emerged as the leading sire of yearlings sold during the first day of the Keeneland September yearling sale Sept. 8.
Perennially among the leading sires on the track and at sales, A.P. Indy was represented by 11 yearlings that averaged $661,364 during the opening session, a healthy return on his $300,000 stud fee in 2006, when this yearling crop was conceived. While healthy, the Sept. 8 average would have been boosted significantly had the colt produced from Horse of the Year Azeri had not been bought back for $7.7 million by owner Michael Paulson.
Emergence of 19-year-old A.P. Indy, who stands at William S. Farish's Lane's End Farm near Versailles, Ky., atop the first-day sale sire list (with three or more sold) represents somewhat of a changing of the guard in that category. Following Day 1 of the 2007 fall sale, A.P. Indy ranked second behind Dynaformer. Dynaformer, who was still getting residual benefits from the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) victory of Barbaro, had three yearlings average $1.28 million during first session in 2007, while A.P. Indy's 13 yearlings that sold during the session averaged $914,231.
Dynaformer, a 23-year-old stallion who stands at Robert Clay's Three Chimneys Farm near Midway, Ky., was sixth by average during the Sept. 8 session, with seven yearlings selling for an average of $417,857, a healthy return on his 2006 fee of $100,000.
Second behind A.P. Indy this year is Empire Maker , the Belmont Stakes (gr. I) winner who had four yearlings average $658,750. With his first foals to race now 3-year-olds, Empire Maker has had six stakes winners from his first two crops. He stands at Khalid Abdullah's Juddmonte Farms near Lexington, where his 2006 fee was also $100,000.
The first-day numbers showed continued demand for the offspring of Storm Cat, the one-time leading general sire and sire of sale yearlings who has been pensioned from stud duty at the Young family's Overbrook Farm. The 25-year-old son of Storm Bird, who stood for $500,000 in 2006, averaged $604,444 for nine yearlings sold.
Following Storm Cat, Unbridled's Song was represented by 14 yearlings that sold Sept. 8 for an average of $493,214, and Distorted Humor had 12 yearlings average $466,667. A 15-year-old son of Unbridled who stands at the Taylor family's Taylor Made Stallions near Nicholasville, Ky., Unbridled's Song had a 2006 fee of $150,000. Distorted Humor, a 15-year-old son of Forty Niner, also stood for a 2006 fee of $150,000 at Bill Casner and Kenny Troutt's WinStar Farm near Versailles, Ky.
The leading first-crop sire during the first session is Horse of the Year Ghostzapper, who had eight yearlings average $275,625. Ghostzapper, who stands at Frank Stronach's Adena Springs Farm near Paris, Ky., stood for $200,000 in 2006.

Three years and six months after he shot and murdered 21-year-old Scott A. Monteiro Jr. during the attempted robbery of a fake gold chain worth $3, Vernon T. Carter, 23, of New Bedford, was sentenced to life in prison without parole in Plymouth Superior Court in Brockton Friday.
Three years and six months after he shot and murdered 21-year-old Scott A. Monteiro Jr. during the attempted robbery of a fake gold chain worth $3, Vernon T. Carter, 23, of New Bedford, was sentenced to life in prison without parole in Plymouth Superior Court in Brockton Friday.
The 12-person jury also found Carter guilty of armed robbery, illegal possession of a firearm, illegal possession of ammunition without an FID card, and assault and battery.
The finding came after the jury deliberated over the course of three days following a nine-day trial.
"Scotty's" family and friends were in attendance each day, and awaited the jury's deliberations in the hall and probation waiting room outside Courtroom 3. More than 20 were in attendance Friday to hear the guilty verdicts, which were followed by emotional impact statements from Scott's dad, Scott. Sr., girlfriend, Courtney Cardoza, and aunt, Wendy Monteiro.
Scott Sr. told the court he's often been asked how he's doing in the 3 ½ years since "the cold-blooded murder of my son" over the fake $3 chain.
He said he's suffered profound depression, and lack of sleep. When he does sleep and dreams of Scotty, he sees his son on life support lying in a Boston hospital, and he relives the horror of viewing the results of his son having been shot in the head. There's some comfort in Scotty's having been an organ donor who was able in death to help six others, Scott Sr. added.
He said he also remembers the boy and young man who was able "to put a smile on everyone's face," who helped care for his siblings after his mother died when he was just 13. He remembered on that occasion telling the boy, "Don't worry. I'll take care of you."
"No, Daddy," Scotty replied. "I will take care of you."
Scott Sr. added, "He helped me so much."
He was entering his second year of college, majoring in culinary arts. "He loved cooking. He wanted to become a chef … he will never get that chance."
His loss leaves "a gaping hole" in the family," he said.
Courtney Cardoza was 19 when her boyfriend was shot. They'd been together for four years.
She was at his bedside the night he passed, she told the court.
His death left it difficult for her to eat or sleep, or even just be around people for fear it would be discussed.
She remembered Scotty's love of people, how he'd tell her that if she couldn't articulate three reasons she didn't like someone, then she really didn't dislike that person.
But, she said, she can't forgive Carter "no matter how hard I try."
Of the three reasons, she said to Scotty "for the first time you're wrong," that she had three reasons to dislike Carter, that he took him from her, that he didn't think of the consequences of his actions and that her heart has not been the same since "you are not with me."
Wendy Monteiro said her nephew was "kind" and "caring."
"Everyone loved Scotty."
In the 3 ½ years since his death people "from 7 to 70" constantly stop her to tell her some story of how he touched their lives.
She said seeing his friends testify during the trial showed how they had also been traumatized.
Wendy said it was clear to her from the beginning that Scotty's role in the tragedy was that of "peacemaker," and the trial testimony bore that out - though she had had no doubt.
According to reports, Scott had tried to intervene when Carter was attempting to steal the chain from then 17-year-old Sheldon Santos of Onset at gunpoint during a house party in Wareham. He was shot for coming to Santos' aid.
She recalled staying by his side in the Boston hospital for three days, knowing he would not recover from the bullet to his brain. She recalled having to call his brother who had just finished basic training to give him the terrible news.
She said her family's life "would never be the same."
And during the 3 ½-year process culminating in Carter's conviction Friday, she said she had never once seen the "cold-blooded" defendant show a sign of remorse.
Judge Raymond Veary Jr. said the family impact statements "were certainly elegant and had an impact on the court."
Veary added, "the events described in this case make absolutely no sense to me at all."
Veary said the case was a sad reminder, "that despite our effort to love one another," and protect and look out for one another, it takes just "seconds" of cruel and reckless behavior "to bring it all to naught."
There is solace, however, in that "Scott's memory will remain a shining memory for all who knew him."
Plymouth County Assistant District Attorney Tom Flanagan told family members following the court session, after Carter had been taken away, that there was an automatic appeal of the sentence but that he was confident it would stand.
He added Scotty's murder had been "the saddest, most tragic I've ever dealt with."

Big Story
New Meat Coming Through: How 'Mean Girls' Explains the 113th Congress
Okay, so it's not exactly Mean Girls, but it's pretty close. Today's the first day of "class" for the new Congress (although veteran members haven't exactly had a break), and we're here to introduce you to this year's cast of characters, high school yearbook style.
School Profile
P.S. 113 (AKA The 113th Congress)
Superintendent: President Barack Obama
Principal: Vice President (and President of the Senate) Joe Biden
Senate queen bees: Majority Leader Harry Reid and Majority Whip Dick Durbin for the Democrats, who control the Senate; Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Minority Whip John Cornyn for the Republicans
House queen bees: Speaker of the House John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor for the Republicans, who control the House; Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Minority Whip Steny Hoyer for the Democrats
The Seniors
Representative John Boehner (R-OH)
Clique: Republicans (Mathletes)
Superlative: Most Likely to Stir Up Controversy
Known for: Currently the Speaker of the House, unofficially known as Nancy Pelosi's mortal enemy (like, seriously, you guys, they won't even say 'hi' to each other in the hall). He was (as expected) re-elected as Speaker today. Boehner's been a representative since 1990. More recently, he's been in the news for ... quite a bit. Politically, in the fight over how to solve the fiscal cliff, he lost the respect of a lot of fellow party members - and got a lot of flack when the blocked a vote on aid to states hit by Hurricane Sandy. Then he barely won enough votes to be re-elected Speaker. Does he even want to be Speaker anymore?
This is probably how Boehner feels right about now:
Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
Clique: The Democrats (Drama Dept.)
Superlative: Most Likely to Lead
Known for: Being the first-ever female Speaker of the House. Pelosi is the minority party's (the Democrats') leader in the House of Representatives. She was the Speaker of the House from 2007-2011, when it was controlled by the Democrats, and has been a representative since 1987. We know she's, like, serious most of the time, but she can totally get down when she wants to.
When she was made Speaker, she was all:
Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
Clique: The Republicans (Mathletes)
Superlative: Most Likely to Tow the Line
Known for: McConnell is the Senate Minority Leader. He played a big role in forging the fiscal cliff compromise-- it helped that he's buddies with Joe Biden. Some have criticized, while others praised. The Week called him "the most powerful Republican in Washington."
To the haters, McConnell's all:
Representative Eric Cantor (R-VA)
Clique: The Republicans (Mathletes)
Superlative: Most Likely to Make a Power Grab
Known for: Cantor is the Majority Leader in the House, and, most recently, voted against the Fiscal Cliff compromise, unlike the Speaker of the House. We hear he totally wants to be Speaker of the House.
When Boehner and most of the House Republicans voted for the fiscal cliff bill, Cantor was all:
Senator Charles "Chuck" Schumer (D-NY)
Clique: The Democrats (Drama Dept.)
Superlative: Most Outspoken
Known for: Schumer's been in office for a long time - since 1998 - and is a very outspoken advocate for his home state, New York. Schumer's latest battle for NY is on Sandy aid, which was denied by the House. Over $60 billion was supposed to go to hurricane victims, and Schumer is blaming the Republicans. When Representative Darrell Issa told "Fox and Friends" that the bill was "packed with pork," Schumer said, "Issa just kind of makes it up as he goes along." BOOM.
Schumer on the House Republicans:
Basically, no one is really getting along right now.
The Freshmen
Meet a couple of members of the incoming class that just started the school year today.
Representative Krysten Sinema (D-AZ)
Clique: The Democrats (Drama Dept.)
Superlative: Most Unique
Known for: Sinema has an interesting background: she's the first ever openly bisexual member of congress, spent some of her childhood living in a gas station, and has three "advanced" degrees. She's also young: only 36. In Arizona, she's known for making her opinions known, but also having conservative friends in the legislature.
Everyone keeps talking about Sinema being bisexual and she's all:
Representative Raul Ruiz (D-CA)
Clique: The Democrats (Drama Dept.)
Superlative: Most Likely to Be Doogie Howser
Known for: Dr. Ruiz is like, really, really smart. He's got three degrees from Harvard and worked as a doctor before going into politics. He even beat an incumbent for his seat in the House, which is no easy feat. When he was young, Ruiz spent a year in Mexico which likely shaped his view on immigration - many think he'll be a proponent for immigration.
Representative Ann Wagner (R-MO)
Clique: The Republicans (Mathletes)
Superlative: Teacher's Pet
Known for: Wagner is one of the many new female faces coming into the House. Her seat was put under a microscope during this election, when Todd Akin, whose seat she was running for, made controversial remarks on "legitimate rape." (Akin was running for Senate and lost.) She's been tapped as a liaison between incoming House Republicans and veteran representatives.
The House Republicans to Ann Wagner:
The Kicker
Here's how you can get involved in some of the issues the new Congress is expected to take up:
Immigration: Join a DREAM Act group >>
Filibuster reform: Sign a petition >>

Doctors at the Cleveland Clinic suggest that vegans should know something about diet planning in order to make sure they are meeting nutrient needs. Their conclusions were published in the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association. The paper doesn't say anything that is particularly alarming, and, with a few exceptions, there isn't much in it […]
Vegan Diets are Dangerous? Here is What the Research Really Says
Vegan Diets to Reduce Colon Cancer Risk
The latest findings from the Adventist Health Study-2 (AHS-2) found that people who ate plant-based diets—which included vegans, lacto-ovo vegetarians and pesco-vegetarians—had a 22% lower risk of colorectal cancer (1). But when the researchers pulled the subjects apart into more specific groups, the only group of "vegetarians" with a lower risk were the ones who […]
Dietitian Perspectives on Protein, Calcium and Vegan Bone Health
Note: this article is co-authored by Jack Norris, RD and Ginny Messina, MPH, RD and appears on Jack's blog as well as this one. Vegans typically have lower calcium intakes than other vegetarians and meat-eaters. But just how much does this matter? The popular thinking has long been that it doesn't matter much at all. […]
Vegan Diets for Healthy Bones
My last post addressed a common myth about protein and bone health—probably the most widely disseminated myth in the vegan community. In contrast to long-held beliefs, current thinking is that protein either has little impact on bone health or it might have some small benefits. This suggests that the lower protein intake of vegans and […]
Calcium and Protein and Bone Health in Vegans
There is good evidence that vegan diets can prevent heart disease and they are likely to lower risk for cancer as well. But does going vegan improve your bone health? I see some post or infographic in social media nearly every week claiming that a vegan diet protects against osteoporosis. The theory is that animal […]

Easy Resolutions for a Healthy Vegan New Year
Happy 2013! There is nothing like a brand new year to inspire health-related resolutions. And while it's tempting to resolve to make all kinds of big changes, sometimes a few little tweaks here and there are all we vegans really need. Here are ten ideas for vegans—mostly easy ways to fine-tune your diet and lifestyle. […]
Dairy-Free Diets Are Packed with Nutrients
A study published in the scientific journal Nutrition Research last November looked at the effects on nutrient intake when dairy foods are reduced or removed from the diet. Rather than focusing just on calcium—which is easily found in other foods—the researchers looked at several nutrients that are abundant in dairy products. They concluded that even […]
New Vitamin D and Calcium RDAs: What They Mean for Vegans
The latest recommendations from the Institute of Medicine have many people asking if they should toss out their bottles of calcium and vitamin D supplements. The answer to that question is probably a little bit different for vegans. The IOM's report was surprising in that they recommended an intake of vitamin D that was considerably […]
Recommended Supplements for Vegans
Just days before everyone was talking about the Voracious [ex-] Vegan story, I received a severe scolding from a reader for my stance on supplements (this was in response to my post on omega-3s). She was adamant about the fact that "whole plant foods" can easily provide everything we need. An effort to prove that […]

Champagne wishes and SoccerCity dreams
Local Dems out-raise Republicans
Matt Potter 6:30 a.m., June 28
Seriously, this is awesome. And because it's Kensington Video, you know you're not going to be stuck slogging through '80s workout tapes and Pauly Shore comedies. Instead, you'll find entire BBC series, genuine classics, and beloved trash. Check it out.
Not sure if it's hit the West Coast but many of the Goodwill stores out here in the Midwest are refusing to accept VHS tapes in their donations.
Half Price Books (a national chain of stores that has a few stores in CA) sells VHS tapes by the cardboard crate and any single VHS is $1.
I totally just watched Star Wars on VHS the other day. Got the OG releases (Hon shot first!) for like $1.50 at a thrift shop. So rad.
Glancing at my DVD racks and spotting the one lonely Rad VHS that has no player in the house...
If it wasn't for the porn industry, BETAMAX would have been the standard. And then who knows??? We still have a Sony SL-8200 and a Sony SL-HF2100. Both still work great and we still have 3 or 4 dozen tapes, mostly music. Try and find a 30+ yr old VHS player and tapes that still play.
I have a 30 y/o VHS and numerous tapes.......and they still play fine...

Hey cruzer, can you shoot me your email so I can send you the picture I took of my gauntlets? I need to buy some of that hosing you mentioned you had.
- Fitz
My email is posted on my member page. However, none of my hose will fit MOW gauntlets that have the original hose barbs.
Did I send you the pic then?
I wasn't sure...
I think the MOW gauntlets I have, have modded barbs...
Am I wrong?
I never received a pic, so go ahead and send me a close up of the hose barbs.
I am scratchbuilding the gautlets and need an idea for how to attach the hoses. I have the dyed hose from cruzer - if someone can help let me know!
How do you mean attach the hose? Do you mean to attach together up the flightsuit?
ah sorry. I meant connecting the hoses to the gauntlet.
I saw barbs mentioned above, but I'm not sure where to go to find them.
The hardware used on the original gauntlets were 1/4x1/8 brass hose barbs that were then painted silver.
Hey Cruzer, I'll take some of that hose.

SunLine dedicates new learning center
Building will display innovations in transit pioneered by SunLine
THOUSAND PALMS, Calif. - SunLine Transit Agency was set to dedicate its new Learning Center Thursday morning.
The former Zweig Educational Building will display "innovations in transit pioneered by SunLine over the past four decades," SunLine spokeswoman Kathleen Bennett said. The ceremony was scheduled for 11 a.m. at SunLine, 32-505 Harry Oliver Trail.
Nine exhibits at the learning center will show SunLine's alternative fuels movement, including an El Dorado bus cab, agency vehicles from 1977 into the future, renewable energy, CNG, hydrogen, hydrogen fuel cell technology and intelligent transportation systems, Bennett said.
"As we have gained knowledge and experience throughout the years of providing public transit using alternative fueled vehicles, it is important to share that knowledge," said SunLine General Manager C. Mikel Oglesby.
"As a leader in clean air technology, SunLine brings the experience of the past, to the present and into the future. We are excited to share our experiences through our new SunLine Learning Center."
SunLine is a joint powers authority formed in 1977 to operate the Coachella Valley's public transportation system.

This question is frequently asked, and it is difficult to answer. The actual saving of a threatened Wright property almost always involves significant publicity and a change in ownership.
Many saves are not readily apparent. For example, when we find a preservation-minded new owner for a property for sale through our Wright on the Market, is this a save? If, without our involvement, the purchaser might have been a developer, or one insensitive to preservation, then our efforts clearly led to those houses being saved. There have been dozens of houses transferred to appropriate new owners through our publicity.
Additionally there are those properties where we might not have been the channel that actually brought the new owner to the closing table, but where our intensive advocacy efforts were the mechanism that preserved the houses availability or prevented its demolition, until that perfect buyer came along.
Case Studies
Auldbrass Plantation
B. Harley Bradley House
Avery Coonley Garage and Stables
Duncan House
Ennis House
Allen Friedman House
William A. Glasner House
Goetsch-Winckler House
Evelyn Gordon House
Westcott House
B. Harley Bradley House
An excellent example of this occurred in the fall of 2001. The Historic Preservation Commission of the City of Kankakee, Illinois, notified the Conservancy of an application filed by the law-firm owners of the B. Harley Bradley House (1900) to demolish the 3,100 square foot carriage house and stable behind this important prairie house. Many years of neglect had left the carriage house in terrible disrepair, with holes in the roof large enough to crawl through. The Conservancy mounted a national publicity campaign, garnering front page coverage in the local Kankakee papers, the Chicago Tribune, and even an interview on Chicago Fox News Network television. Many other papers picked up the story in a succession of follow-up articles. The Conservancy attended several meetings and hearings in Kankakee, and generated many letters of support with the help of the National Trust, Landmarks Illinois and Conservancy members. The publicity campaign was successful in encouraging the Commission to defer the demolition request on several occasions, frustrating the owners plans to tear the building down for a parking lot. Thus the situation stood through a succession of potential buyers and re-use plans for the building. Ultimately the entire Bradley property, house and carriage house included, was purchased by excellent stewards who have since masterfully restored the house back to its residential condition from its office configuration, and completely restored the carriage house which is currently being operated as a gift shop.
Allen Friedman House
Another example involved the Allen Friedman House (1956) in Bannockburn, Illinois. The house, one of the last designed by Wright and built after his death, was in excellent condition. It had been listed on Wright on the Market for nearly a year before a reporter called the Conservancy upon learning that a potential buyer had approached the Village of Bannockburn seeking information about a demolition permit. The Conservancy met with the prospective buyer and his attorney and discussed alternatives to demolishing the house. An intensive search was initiated to locate another suitable lot on which to build his new house, and find a preservation-minded buyer for the Friedman House. The buyer cancelled the closing at the last minute for undisclosed reasons. The issue had already received considerable local and national media exposure, which may have convinced him not to become the first person in over 30 years to intentionally demolish a Frank Lloyd Wright house, and to walk away from the deal. The house was placed back on the market. Within weeks, both the Conservancy and the listing agent received several inquiries about the house, and happily a suitable new owner surfaced who has lived in and maintained the house in excellent condition.
William A. Glasner House
The William A. Glasner House (1905, Glencoe, Illinois) also falls into this category. Owners who had completed extensive remodeling and renovation to this early Prairie house beautifully sited on a ravine leading to Lake Michigan, needed to sell the house within a definite time frame, due to the needs of a growing family. As the deadline approached and no purchaser had yet surfaced, developers took a serious interest in the property. The house literally stood in the shadow of a developer's bulldozer unless a preservation-minded purchaser could be found before summer. The Conservancy found such a potential buyer and a contract was signed while the interested developer was measuring the property for the new house he intended to erect on the lot. That deal ultimately fell through for lack of financing, but it bought precious time. Fortunately the right person materialized as a result of the Conservancy-generated widespread publicity surrounding this unique house. An inquiry came into the Conservancy office concerning other preservation issues, which led to a discussion of the plight of the Glasner House, culminating in the purchase the house. The new owner is devoutly committed to historic preservation and accurate restoration. The house has undergone a complete restoration, returning the house to its original glory.
Our proudest moments come when we are the direct cause of the house save. No two problems are the same and the solution for each is different. Some important examples:
Auldbrass Plantation
The rescue from ruin of the Auldbrass Plantation, a significant grouping of Wright-designed buildings not far from Savannah, Georgia, was brought about by a couple of founding members of the Conservancy prior to the organizations official formation. The property was designed by Wright in 1939 for industrialist C. Leigh Stevens and built in the early 1940s as a self-sufficient modern plantation for farming, hunting and entertaining. The passing years, several fires, disinterested subsequent owners and neglect left the property in almost total ruin by the 1980s. A Savannah real estate appraiser, who became a founding board member of the Conservancy, was contacted in the spring of 1986 by the group of businessmen who owned the property as a hunting lodge. To get background information for her appraisal, she phoned the director of Fallingwater and future founding President of the Conservancy, for appraisal information on the nearby Kentuck Knob (Hagan House, 1954, Chalkhill, Pennsylvania), which was then also on the market. He became interested and visited Auldbrass, and subsequently attended the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Owners (the precursor to the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy) meeting in Los Angeles that fall. One of the receptions was held in a Hollywood movie producers magnificently restored Storer House (Wright, 1923) in Los Angeles. A little light bulb went on over my head he said. With interests in both land conservation as vice president of the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, and Frank Lloyd Wright architecture as director of Fallingwater, he was able to craft a solution with significant benefits to both disciplines. Through persuasion and negotiation, the owners were convinced to donate the entire property to the Beaufort (S.C.) County Open Land Trust, and the Hollywood producer was enticed to assume a mortgage and make charitable contributions to the Land Trust and Historic Charleston, as well as place a strict preservation easement on the property, in return for full title. Over the succeeding years the new owner has invested heavily in a complete restoration of the existing buildings and even re-built buildings lost in a fire and others designed by Wright for the property but never executed. This was the Conservancys first, and still one of its biggest success stories, three years before its formal organization as an Illinois not-for-profit corporation.
Westcott House
2000 was a significant year for the Conservancy and its mission. A large donation from Bruce and Lynette Haines, owners of the Lloyd Lewis House (1939), allowed us to establish the Lewis Haines Revolving Fund, to be used for preservation purposes. Its first use came just months after its creation with the purchase of the Burton J. Westcott House (1908) in Springfield, OH, an excellent example of Wrights early 20th century designs. For years the house had been in a state of decline, having been converted into a low-rent rooming house after WWII. In an effort to preserve the house, the Conservancy worked for over two years with the owner to develop a plan for the stewardship of the site. Using its newly created fund, the Conservancy purchased the house in order to stabilize the structure and prepare a historic structures report and preservation plan. Early in 2001, the Conservancy sold the house to the newly formed Westcott House Foundation, which in over five years accomplished a $5.8 million restoration and now has the house open as a beautifully restored publicly accessible historic site.
Evelyn Gordon House
Close on the heels of the Westcott House transaction was one of our most widely publicized saves, that of the Conrad and Evelyn Gordon House (1957/63) in Wilsonville, Oregon. Upon learning of a new owners intent to demolish the house to build a new house on the 22 acre site along the Willamette River, the Conservancy mobilized a legal and publicity team to fight the demolition of the locally listed historic landmark. Under the floodlight of national publicity, the owners formally applied to have the house delisted in preparation of their request for a demolition permit. Conservancy board members spent many hours in negotiation with the owners. A deal was struck just moments before the delisting hearing was to begin. On the courthouse steps, it was announced that the house would be donated to the Conservancy in return for a sizeable tax deduction to the owners, and contingent on it being removed from the site within 105 days. With the house saved from demolition, the Conservancy now had to find someone to dismantle the building, remove it from the premises, and agree to reconstruct it according to strict standards and under a preservation easement held by the Conservancy. A national Request for Proposals led to three qualified prospects. The Oregon Garden Foundation in Silverton, Oregon was ultimately accepted. A monumental effort by an extraordinary team of volunteers and professionals over the next several years resulted in the documentation, disassembly, removal, transport of 25 miles, reconstruction and meticulous restoration of Wrights only built work in Oregon. Today it is open to the public on the grounds of the horticultural complex.
Goetsch-Winckler House
In what may be record time for saving an endangered historic property, the Conservancy engineered the preservation of an important early Usonian house in less than one week. The Goetsch-Winckler House, built in 1940 as part of an uncompleted cooperative community in Okemos, Michigan, was featured on the cover of Henry-Russell Hitchcocks In the Nature of Materials (1942), and is regarded as one of Wrights most beautiful and significant designs of the last two decades of his career. Over the years the house passed through several hands and finally in 1996 to a foreign owner who, for various reasons, was unable to occupy the house for any length of time, allowing it to fall into disrepair. On a Monday in July of 2001, the Conservancy learned that the house was in mortgage foreclosure proceedings and that the close of the redemption period was just four days away. We were concerned that the Florida-based bank holding the mortgage might resell the property to a developer interested in demolishing the house to build a new, large home on the lot, located in a rapidly developing neighborhood. The Conservancys Executive Committee voted unanimously and without hesitation to authorize the expenditure from the Lewis-Haines Revolving Fund to purchase the house, which we were able to do by paying off the mortgage before the end of the week. We held the house for 18 months while, again using a national Request for Proposals, we received numerous inquiries and several qualified proposals, ultimately leading to the sale and long term preservation of this important house now under a preservation easement held by the Conservancy.
Avery Coonley Garage and Stables
Another rather unusual and widely publicized save involved the Avery Coonley Garage with Stables, also known as the Coach House, (1911) in Riverside, Illinois. In 2005 the house was still owned by its owner for 52 years, an elderly woman who wished to remain in the house. Her property was managed by the Public Guardian of Cook County. The house attracted attention when the Public Guardian sought to make much needed, but architecturally inappropriate repairs to the leaking roof of the 95 year old building. As the building is a local landmark in the Village of Riverside, the Guardian office's application for a new roof had to be approved by the Riverside Preservation Commission. At the request of the Conservancy, the Commission delayed a full review of the project and asked that other roofing repair options and materials be investigated by the Guardian and the Conservancy. While the different roofing options were being researched, the Conservancy approached the owners and award-winning restorers of the north half of the neighboring Coonley House, to ascertain their interest in purchasing the Coach House. It soon became clear that they were seriously interested. A purchase agreement allowing title to pass to the new owners but giving a life estate to the elderly owner, was approved by the Cook County Circuit Court, thus permitting her to remain in the house for the rest of her life, while allowing the new owner to immediately commence appropriate roof repairs. The Coach House has since been painstakingly rehabilitated using architecturally appropriate materials, and this transaction has allowed two parcels from the original Coonley estate to be rejoined under one owner.
Frequently, the best solution for an endangered house involves close collaboration with other preservation organizations. The shining example of this collaborative process is the dramatic rescue of the Charles Ennis House (1923) in Los Angeles, California.
Ennis House
Following serious damage suffered from the 1994 Northridge earthquake, the house continued to deteriorate for lack of funds. Unprecedented rains in the spring of 2005 caused portions of the prominent retaining wall to collapse, and national publicity suggested that the house itself was in danger of sliding down the hill. In an effort to bring helpful attention to the houses plight, the Conservancy petitioned for the successful inclusion of the Ennis House on the National Trust for Historic Preservations 2005 Eleven Most Endangered Sites list. Partnering with the National Trust and the LA Conservancy, a new foundation was formed which was highly motivated toward the houses preservation. Contacts made by Conservancy board members led to the new Ennis House Foundations ability to secure loans and guarantees sufficient to undertake significant restoration work. The Conservancys Lewis-Haines Fund helped secure the architectural drawings necessary to obtain building permits before stabilization work could commence. The Ennis House Foundation, strongly supported by the LA Conservancy, the National Trust and prominent LA preservationists, has completed momentous restorative work allowing the retaining wall, motor court, and chauffers quarters to be rebuilt, the house to be stabilized and much of the interior to be restored. The Ennis House has been saved through the collaborative efforts of many groups and individuals who could not countenance the loss of this extremely significant building.
Is it, or isnt it a save? Sometimes that is the question. For example:
Duncan House
In the fall of 2003 the Conservancy was notified that upon the death of the original client-owner of the Duncan House (Wright/Erdman Prefab, 1957) in Lisle, Illinois, a developer had a right of first refusal to purchase the property. The plan was to demolish the house and complete the subdivision that had grown up around the little three bedroom, one-story house with the type of large, multi-story houses that had by then all but engulfed the Duncan house. With the assistance of the Chicago Tribune, the Daily Herald in Lisle, other news media, the BULLETIN and our website, we broadcast the imminent possibility that the Duncan House could soon become the first Wright structure in over thirty years to be demolished unless a preservation solution could be quickly found. We received more than a dozen inquiries from the Chicago area and around the country from well meaning individuals expressing interest in purchasing the house for residential purposes. When it became obvious that the only way to purchase the house was to pay the development value for the site -- which was high enough to support the construction of three new houses in an expensive upscale neighborhood -- the renovation of the house for residential purposes on its site quickly became impractical. The focus shifted to those parties willing to deconstruct the house and move it to another site where it could be reconstructed. Similar to the Gordon House solution, the developer was convinced to donate the structure to the Conservancy, taking advantage of the income tax deduction, on the condition that we find someone to remove it before their spring construction schedule. While the Conservancy does not countenance the moving of a historic house to save it, we were comforted in this case by two overriding considerations. First, there is no doubt that the house could not remain in its present location and that demolition was a certainty if a move could not be arranged. Second, because the house was a pre-fabricated building, it was not expressly designed for its site, as were Wrights custom built homes. The house was dismantled, loaded onto four trucks and transported to Pennsylvania where it sat for over two years while a suitable site was sought. The pieces were ultimately purchased by the owners of Polymath Park Resort, an architectural community originally developed by Peter Berndtson (1909-1972), one of the original Frank Lloyd Wright apprentices. It is nestled in the heart of the beautiful Laurel Highlands of Southwestern Pennsylvania and contains two houses designed by Berndtson and now the reconstructed Duncan House. All of the houses are available for short term overnight stays. While the Duncan house was sited to the same coordinates as the original setting, it was rebuilt using local fieldstone (historically one of the three material options owners could have specified during original construction) rather than the concrete block of the original building. So, is it the Duncan House in a new location? Probably not, but it is a beautiful adaptation of a Wright design utilizing most of the original woodwork and provides the experience of staying in a Wright inspired house to those who visit the Park.
The primary purpose for the Conservancys existence is to prevent the loss of another building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and to assist the owners of such valuable properties with their maintenance, conservation and preservation issues. We have been extremely successful at this mission during our years of service, and this article represents but a few examples of that success. With the help and support of our members and friends we will continue to do so.

Jester, where dissimilar metals react when in contact w/each other is an electrical reaction called "galvanic reaction". It can cause corrosion of the zinc the carb body and airhorn is made of. Aluminum is only used in the baseplate of a Q-jet.
So the white deposits are zinc oxide or zinc "rust". It forms when the dichromate coating is damaged or removed. The thing w/removing the corrosion is it does tend to return if conditions favor it, so the best bet is to keep water away from the carb, drain it and use mineral spirits inside when stored, and don't make matters any worse by using strong acids or mechanical means that removes the zinc dichromate finish.
I'm in contact w/Caswell Plating to see what can be done about replating/restoring the chromate finish on zinc carbs. This is much less a case of wanting a factory looking finish than it is making the carb as corrosion resistant as it can be. If there's any interest I'll post what I find out.
Who knew that I would learn so much about white crap that forms in the bottom of a carb all the way down to its proper chemical name? If I were technical I just might care. Jester, it seems to me ever since you seen the thread of me bashing holley carbs you have to bash back only you claim your not. This thread was many pages back and here it is, what was the point in bringing it back just to educate me on white crap in the bowl?
Furthermore, I stated facts on holley carbs based on MY experiences, not yours or anyone elses which leaves anyone else free to base there own opinions on. You like holleys? good for you and fine by me.
I listed the problems I've had with holleys so that others may learn something. I did not mention how many times I've gotten one new in the box with pieces missing such as the simple gaskets that go around the bowl bolts. You also mentioned what wore the bushings out in my former Holley 600 was the spring was too tight. That could well be why the cheap plastic bushings wore out, but that carb had not been touched other than the basic adjustments for running conditions plus it was on the secondary side and it's not very often the secondaries are kicked in on the street. I was making the point that who, (besides holley) uses PLASTIC for bushings? Cheap Much? And at the time I had that carb Holley did NOT carry replacements which encourages one to buy a new carb which they would perfer you do anyways. On a final note when I poured that stuff in my Quadrajet the foam came out of every passage which told me they are clear. To be sure if that I always run something through every passage on a carb before I rebuild it. The guys who answered my question on this thread also had the white stuff in there carbs and once cleaned they all said there carbs worked fine, but according to you mine is not going to, I guess my carb must be different from theres?
Is there something about me that comes across to you that I'm a moron that your bound to set straight? Going by how much you've had to say as well as the PM's you sent it sure looks that way. Do me a favor and look at how long I've been here and how many posts that are credited to my name. Now look back in my history and see how many questions I asked and see how many I answered. You'll find that 90 percent are ones I answered or gave my experience on but I don't suppose that means anything. I guess all my posts were just for fun to watch my count go up.
Hope I didn't stir up anything by posting the last time. I thought it might help someone.
Jester, you mentioned contacting a carb company. I did, and Holley said they can repassivate the zinc carb body/airhorn. I don't recall the exact price, but it was a LOT more than I was willing to pay in the early 90's.
There are guys who sell rebuilt carbs on eBay that will work w/an individual to refinish carbs. I have zero experience w/any of them so cannot comment further than to say they exist. Right now, I'm hoping for a workable solution from Caswell.

To you people that dont know Even the aluminum foil we cook on has a protective coating to stop corrosion while its in the box on the shelf and it would turn white and powdery without it!
I dont think what you wrote above was to give me a class Or correct me on what I said ( if you meant it that way I didnt take it that way,I hope you weren't) I hope you were pointing out something I left out >I know what galvanic reaction is. Electrolysis is when you purposely apply current , Galvanic is a self occurring process When too dissimilar elements react. If any one posted electrolysis I knew what they meant (or if I said that! I knew what I meant too!!) LOL The people on here and the suggestions they made about the caustic materials wouldn't know the difference anyway
Cobalt is right on every thing he said! ( and I used Mystery oil to store carbs many years ago because I was taught that way, It contained Whale oil back then maybe its different now! I didnt use mineral spirits Because it swelled rubber o ring Etc, IT might be different now ( mineral spirits might be a little gentler now< and theres not much made out of rubber any more) Cobalt If mystery oil is bad I need to know Im not too old too learn!
Im interested in the Caswell plating even if I am retired (I'll still be getting grease under my nails
Can be zinc oxide or aluminum oxide in there..
Man! what a discussion..people get flustered on here....
Ps. I only drink the Coca Cola
Double vision: I wasnt bashing you, You posted a very good Question!! ,It was the answers you were getting!! I dont push any products on here especially carbs (To each his own) If you read all my posts youll see I dont push anything !!!! If you took this as a bash!!you havnt read anything that was dumped of mine or it was so bad a bashing it didnt even make it to the dump! Ive been threatened to be expelled in the past. Now Im very careful not to offend Any one and I met a lot of good people here I'd hate to lose that.
If you have something to post that I posted Bashing you! put it on the lounge title it Attention Chris: and let every one read so every one can see And I ask the monitors to let it pass.And dump it later ( Im going to read all my old posts now) If your blowing smoke Ill probably get thrown off here later Im not offended by this so please dont dump it. Ill be back in a bit and if I'm wrong I'll apologize, but I dont think Ill have to! Look monitors Im smiling
The only one I see that you could misunderstand Is when I said here that I was laughing at your post When I should have said thread and I was laughing at the answers you were getting not at you ! If you find any thing else you missunderstood Ill be watching the loung If you dont want to post on the lounge message me.

The post your talking about is on B.G. carbs taken over by Holley you weren't bashed I even commented that Quadrajets were a good carb I think you read that post wrong!! I posted carbs I had trouble with! I dont remember Quadrajets (I never had that many problems) were even mentioned! I did say there may be a problem with your supplier from my personnel exp. I even said I didnt doubt you had those problems you stated>
You stated: "If I were Technical I might care" on this thread you think this is Technical . Its basic high school stuff. No one has to bash you when you write stuff like that. You were looking for something and took my words out of contexts to fit your rant. I think you need to cool off and re-read! I also think you read it expecting to get what you thought you read. I did that myself when I was younger. Cobalt was on that thread so was topwrench If they message me and get the same meaning as you did on that post I'll apologize. Or maybe the monitors will let it pass If they post it on this thread . Even though its not the place.
Jester,I read all ur posts too n dont think u based anybody!
I dont care what carb people use,but if there is a question about a carb doin damage to a motor I build I dont use it.Thats what I was trying to say.
On boats we use galvanic isolators all the time to prevent electrolisis,we also use zinc anodes so they will get desroyed before Aluminum or Brass engine components will.
So anyway I think everybody needs to cool it,I also read this whole thread and he got some really good info here.
AFAIK MM oil shouldn't hurt anything. I mentioned mineral spirits because that's what I've used in the past, but even being left dry is an option as long as it's bagged w/a dessicant.
I'm not a fan of storing a carb fully built. If possible I'd rather keep it apart so the pump piston seal isn't left sitting in the pump forever and a day waiting to be used. Plus who knows exactly what jetting and power piston spring may be needed, unless it was a spare carb for an engine that wasn't going to have any changes made to it that would effect the carb tune.
The reason I brought up the galvanic deal was I read acid somewhere, just wanted to set the record straight on that. More damage is done by improper cleaning than any galvanic action anyway. Once the zinc chromate finish is gone (I mistakenly called it dichromate*) it's a matter of time until the underlying zinc corrodes.
* If anyone cares, I was told by the owner of The Carburetor Shop that zinc dichromate is a process that uses electricity, which the zinc chromate carb finish doesn't use, it's dipped into a solution w/o any electricity. Because the carb is zinc it needs nothing but a thorough cleaning then the chromate dip. A steel part would need to first be zinc plated, then the chromate applied over that.
But the bottom line according to the Carb Shop is to forget trying to reapply a chromate finish. To do it "right" requires hydrochloric and nitric acid (both readily available), and chromic acid- which is one of those chemicals on the list of carcinogens (cancer causers) and apparently might as well be made of unobtainium.
Which leaves us w/either sending the carb to Edelbrock (who apparently have found a workaround or have the proper equipment and EPA certification to do it in-house) or to use whatever household/shop methods to rid the carb of it and hope it doesn't come back worse than before.
Well guys Im the proud owner of a Fish carburator,had on a shelf for years,its apart n still lokks like the day i got it.
Remember Bob Fish?
Have any photos of this deal?
Thanks for the info, Cobalt I'm picking my brain! Fish carburetor? Im interested in pics! I dont know if Ive ever seen one or not? I have heard of a John Fish museum.
eBay has an "experimental" Fish (link below). No idea if this is anything like the one topwrench has. I don't know squat about them except the legend about Fireball using one, and I think I recall it being when Smoky was doing his race cars- but I could be mistaken. I hope TR's able to show it to us all.
I never saw one before , very interesting thanks:

An Eye for LIFE
Bob Gomel took a gig snapping photos for LIFE in 1959, and he continued with the photojournalism-heavy magazine until it ceased weekly publication in the early '70s. But, when LIFE was still in its heyday, the magazine's prominence and popularity offered Gomel a front row perspective not given to just any photojournalist. And from that perspective, Gomel documented America at a turbulent turning point in its history. Multiple Exposures: LIFE Photographer Bob Gomel Looks Back at the '60s is on display now at Afterimage Gallery, located at 2800 Routh St., Suite #141 in The Quadrangle. The exhibit features color and black and white photos of politicians, celebrities, sports figures and memorable events of the turbulent decade. And, from moments like "John F. Kennedy's Body Lies in State at the Capitol Rotunda" to "Malcolm X tries to Calm the Ebullient Champion" (which features a composed X standing opposite a shouting Muhammad Ali) to "Paul and John Rehearsing Before Ed Sullivan Show," Gomel's photographs are unforgettable--teeming with as much beauty and emotion as historical significance. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays; Multiple Exposures hangs though March 22. Call 214-871-9140 or visit afterimagegallery.com.
Mondays-Saturdays, 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Starts: Jan. 29. Continues through March 22, 2011

converting hanging light fixture to plug
You're talking to a major newbie here (someone who should probably not mess around with this stuff! But I'm on a mission!). I have a very dark "cupboard" in my kitchen. It really needs a light in there. I would like to hang a light that I have - but it is the kind that is hard wired. I have a plug kit that would work and I would like to convert the light to be able to plug it into a socket. My question is this - Is it as simple as connecting the wires? What about the green/ground wire from the light? The plug kit I haveis a two prong. I wasn't able to find a 3 prong plug with the tioggle/rocker switch attached.
Use a three conductor whip or 2/c, ungrounded with a GFCI only. Or, you could skip all the trouble and go the easy route-battery powered lights which require NO AC.
I'm working on inventing wireless electricity. That will help you out. :jester:

HELP! I lost a file and now I can't find it!
So, you've misplaced a file. It's easier to find than you think.
Click the Start button and select Find or Search . A screen will open up that allows you to search for files. (If you're in Windows Vista the Search Box is directly above the Start Button) To do a search, just type the name of the missing file in the " Named " box. You'll need to click the "All files & folders item" and type what you're looking for into the " All or part of a file name " box. Note: Some of the aforementioned options will not be visible in Vista.
However, If you're not sure what the name of the file is, you can always use wildcards.
For example, say you're looking for a text file, but you aren't 100% sure of the file name. Type *.txt in the " Named " or " All or part of a file name " box. The * is a wildcard, meaning that as long as a file has an extension of .txt, it will be displayed.
Sample shot (XP screen shown)
Don't worry. You don't have to know the file extension if you already know the name of the misplaced file. If you know the name of the file, just type it in the box and it will attempt locate it. In fact, even if you only have a partial file name, that will work.
Once the file is located, just double-click it to open it up.

THE Selangor Forestry Department has been asked to conduct a four-week hearing before forest reserve land can be degazetted for the proposed East Klang Valley Expressway (EKVE).
Selangor Youth and Sports, Infrastructure and Public Amenities committee chairman Dr Ahmad Yunus Hairi said the hearing was necessary before forest reserve status near Ukay Perdana could be cancelled.
"The forest reserve land status has to be cancelled before it can be gazetted as highway reserve land under Section 8 of the Land Acquisition Act 1960," he said.
He was responding to Dusun Tua assemblyman Razaly Hassan's (PR) query on the status of the project also known as Kuala Lumpur Outer Ring Road-Eastern Route at the Selangor State Assembly yesterday.
The Forestry Act (Selangor) 2011 was amended to include public hearings.
The hearing committee will include Ahmad as well as Selangor Tourism, Consumer Affairs and Environment committee chairman Elizabeth Wong and other experts.
"Notices will be sent in December and we expect the hearing to take place sometime in January or February next year," said Wong.
She also said Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim had said the de-gazetting of the forest reserve would depend on the outcome of the public hearing.
Wong said there were two options available to the state, one was to degazette and the other was to allow the highway to run through via Right Of Way (ROW).
Ahmad said a new committee chaired by Wong has also been set up to monitor the development of the EKVE.
"The new committee will monitor the effects on the environment," he added.
The proposed EKVE will cross the Dusun Tua area including Bukit Enggang, Bandar Mahkota Cheras, Kuari Sg Long, Taman Sri Nanding, Kampung Sungai Michu and Taman Pinggiran Delima.
Razaly also asked how much would be given to villagers whose land had to be acquired.
However, Ahmad said this would only be decided once the EKVE line has been finalised.
The EKVE's Detailed Environmental Impact Assessment (DEIA) was rejected several times before conditional approval was given on April 25.

Indiana hospital gives support for those dying alone
An Indianapolis health care provider that has a hospital and 10 community health centers has started a program to ensure that terminally ill patients who don't have family nearby don't die alone.
Wishard Health Services calls the program "No One Dies Alone." It provides companionship and support for dying, hospitalized individuals.
The program uses volunteer companions who are notified when patients are alone and expected to die within 24 hours. The companions go to the hospital and stay with the patients, rotating through three-hour shifts, to ensure they are not alone in their final moments.
Wishard is looking for volunteers for the program to act as surrogate family members to provide patients with companionship.

Norwich Honors Hannah Kearney For Olympic Gold
02/26/10 5:50PM Dave McGown
| Download MP3
(Host) Today was a day of celebration in Norwich, where Olympic gold medalist Hannah Kearney got a hometown hero's welcome. Several hundred people crowded onto the slushy Norwich green to welcome Kearney home from the Vancouver Olympics.
(Jack Willard) "I'm Jack. And I'm 6."
(Chad Willard) "I'm Chad Willard and my kids Clare and jack are here to see Hannah. It's pretty much a privilege to be in Norwich and have one of our hometown people win a gold medal. It's very exciting."
(Host) The elementary school in Norwich sits across from the town green. And classes were let out early today so students could welcome Kearney.
The bandstand was decorated in red-white-and-blue bunting and a children's pool was painted gold and hung from the bandstand to represent Kearney's medal.
Kearney spoke directly to the students from the podium.
(Kearney) "And with all your hard work you guys can do any of those things, too, because the opportunities are here and the support is here, from your coaches to the whole community because this is the best place in the world to grow up."
(Host) Kearney won the first gold medal of the Olympics last week when she won the women's moguls.

UK Bankruptcy Law
UK Bankruptcy Law Questions Answered by Verified Experts
the english company has £372k in assets and £671j in liabilities of which £623k is owed to an australian company and a usa company both also 100% owned by the foreign company. the english company is essentially insolvent. a bankruptcy averts the cancellation of debt income, but is their income to the holding(parent) company, and can the usa & aus companies write-off the receivables on their books?
not in liquidation. still operating
what is the english law pertaining to related company ownership: ifthe u.k. corp declares bankruptcy, what happens to the debt owed the related companies? the 10% can be paid to the outside creditors. must they be reported as dividends or income by the u.k. corp under u.k. tax law?
please respond
are you saying there is no dividend to the other related corporations for the difference between the bankruptcy value received, and the amount of the receivable?
Our tax accountant has stated that the stockholders of u.k. corp. owe the usa related corp the receivable, and would have to declare a dividend in the u.s. corp, thus causing income tax liability to themselves, and using the dividend to pay the receivables owed by the u.k. corp.
If all 3 companies were u.k. companies, what would be the tax ramifications. debtor company files(can they?) bankruptcy, can the receivable company write off the debt against income, or must the parent company(owning both corps.) transfer the debt to their books, and then declare a dividend in the receivable company, in order to liquidate the debt?
kindly respond to my question assuming all 3 companies are in u.k., are there any dividends or cancellation of debt income recognized by any of the 3 companies?
in other words, if the debtor company files chap 11, not recognizing cancellation of debt income, nor would the owner-parent, and the receivable-related company can write-off the uncollected receivables as bad debt expense on their u.k. tax return. thus no dividend income for any company, but the receivable company reduces income in the current yr by the bad debt write-off.
did not receive an answer to my questions.
You did not address the related company question. Of course your generalized answer is true. I'm inquiring whether it's applicable to related company debt. Can a related company write-off the receivables to another related company, when both are fully-owned by a 3rd corporation. Please answer this specific question. In actuality the 3 are from different countries, u.k., aus, and usa, but since you only know u.k. law, I then changed them to u.k. countries. Do you understand my question now? Does common ownership have any effect or consequence on whether the debtor company, can file bankruptcy, and not have to recognize income on the payables it owes a related company, whereas both are fully owned by a 3rd company. What does u.k. law permit or mandate in this case?
much obliged,
you haven't answered my specific question, just given generalities. I'm reversing my payment.

Pan founder tried to investigate regulator
Page Tools
Pan Pharmaceuticals founder Jim Selim "shopped around" for a corporate vehicle he could use to conduct court examinations of the medicines regulator which closed the company last year, the Federal Court heard on Friday.
The claim was made by counsel for the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), Steven Rares, SC, after an email was produced in evidence citing the potential "crucial tactical significance" of examinations to Mr Selim, who was "under considerable pressure".
The examinations are only available to insolvency practitioners, to help them decide whether to sue to recover damages for creditors.
The email, from Mr Selim's longstanding solicitor Andrew Thorpe to insolvency practitioner John Sheahan, discussed Mr Selim spending $200,000 to pay out the creditors of an unnamed company in liquidation.
"Jim knows the owner quite well," the January 2004 email said. Securing control of the company "would enable an examination of the TGA and could be of crucial tactical significance".
Mr Rares said it appeared that this option was not followed. Instead, two months later, Mr Selim arranged for Mr Sheahan, of Sheahan Lock Partners, to replace the administrator of a small Gold Coast vitamins company which blamed its $3 million collapse on the TGA's crackdown on Pan.
This cost Mr Selim only $1000, the amount needed to convene a meeting of creditors of Markethaven Pty Ltd in order to appoint Mr Sheahan. He later agreed to pay up to $270,000 to fund Mr Sheahan's investigations.
"They were shopping around for a company to put Mr Sheahan into so they could use an administration or a liquidation to run examinations for Mr Selim," Mr Rares said.
This was an abuse of process "even if Mr Sheahan intended Markethaven to benefit as well".
The TGA wants Justice Arthur Emmett to discharge orders granted in July by Registrar Jennifer Hedge for TGA officers to give evidence on September 22 and 23.
Mr Rares said that by January Mr Selim knew that Pan's liquidator, Tony McGrath of insolvency firm McGrathNicol + Partners, was intending to sue Mr Selim for his role in the loss of Pan's licence.
It was also public knowledge that the TGA was conducting a criminal investigation into the dangerous practices which prompted the recall.
Justin Gleeson, SC, acting for Mr Sheahan, said information sought in the examinations would be available under normal court processes if Mr Selim wanted it to help his defence to Mr McGrath's claim, which was filed in April, or if criminal charges were ever laid.
The main purpose of the examinations was to recover funds for Markethaven and that was not affected "if Mr Selim obtains a collateral benefit," Mr Gleeson said.
"There's nothing wrong with Mr Selim saying if I have lost my family fortune due to the actions of the TGA I would like to pursue various ways in which there could be a recovery."
By trying to discontinue the examinations, "the TGA is attempting to stifle that possible investigation of its negligence".

Entropic-Powered ADB-6882CDMX Becomes First MoCA 1.1-Certified Set-Top Box
Geneva-based set-top box company, Advanced Digital Broadcast (ADB), and Entropic, a fabless semiconductor company that specializes in home networking solutions, said Monday that ADB's ADB-6882CDMX set-top box, which is designed to enable MSO's to offer their customers home networking options, has become the industry's first MoCA 1.1-certified cable set-top.
The ADB-6882CDMX is powered by Entropic's EN2210/EN1010 MoCA- (Multimedia over Coax Alliance) compliant chipset, which is billed as enabling a complete coaxial network solution for distributing multiple streams of HD video, broadband data and other digital content throughout the home. ADB and Entropic claim that the box supports the newest features and performance enhancements of MoCA 1.1, using existing coaxial cable in the home and providing superior throughput and range versus other currently available wired and wireless networking technologies. "This is a significant milestone for the MoCA standard worldwide and we congratulate Entropic and ADB for developing the industry's first STB to receive MoCA 1.1 certification," Rob Gelphman, chair of the Multimedia over Coax Alliance's Marketing Work Group, said in a prepared statement. "By working with ADB, a top-tier European vendor,
to develop this STB, Entropic continues to build momentum and promote their commitment to the MoCA standard for worldwide adoption in both the cable industry and home networking market."
According to the companies, the ADB-6882CDMX will take advantage of various features offered by the latest version of the MoCA standard, including:
- Turning existing coax wiring into a "high-powered" home entertainment network for streaming HD movies and multiroom content sharing.
- Higher network throughput over MoCA 1.0: up to 175Mbps of application layer throughput.
- Increased network size of up to 16 MoCA devices.
- Built-in network management support for gathering data rate statistics.
- "Service operator-class" robustness and reliability, with support for Parameterized Quality of Service (PQoS)-protected delivery of premium content across the home network.
- Fueling the future convergence of high-bandwidth, personal content applications without compromising the delivery of premium service offerings.

The Commissioner Review Thread
View Single Post
Seeking Misuzu Kamio.
Join Date: Jun 2005
Posts: 736
Name of Commissioner: Dulcinea
Character commissioned and series/video game: Sailor Venus tiara, earrings, and brooch.
Timeline (how long your order took to process): Ordered about the end of January, and got them around March or April.
Describe your Experience. Pros, Cons, Comments:
- Got the pieces to me in a timely manner.
- Obviously skilled at crafting.
- She keeps in touch with what is going on, and kept asking me what I wanted to do when she hit any kind of speed bump.
- Very reasonable pricing.
- Observes the characters well enough to give her own input on what she thinks would make your costume better that she could help with.
- Well, she was going to make the tiara light up, but honestly, I am not really thinking of this as a con. I DID hope for it, but I am very very easy going. She was having a bit of trouble getting it to work how she planned for it to, so we agreed to just not do the light up. I'd rather her give me what she thinks would be best than forcing her to do something that she believes wouldn't be her all.
Final Grade: A+ (She's fantastic. She cares about her commissioners. If you need any props done, ask her. I plan to next time.)
Animeboston Congoer.
Cosplay 1: Sailor Venus (Commissioner failed to make 4 month deadline)
Update: August 10th.... still nothing.
Reality: Recycled or no cosplay at all. Got to love commissioning! Thanks everyone!! Serious thanks to Dulcinea, who actually made the deadline for the accessories far in advance and of outstanding quality. Sucks they won't be used.
