UPDATE 1-Olam completes acquisition of ADM's cocoa business
* Olam becomes top tier supplier to chocolate industry
* Brazil cocoa assets seen among key acquisitions (Adds quotes, background)
By Sarah McFarlane and Nigel Hunt
LONDON, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Olam International has completed the acquisition of the global cocoa business of Archer Daniels Midland Co. in a deal valued at $1.2 billion, the companies said on Friday.
The deal, first announced in December last year, catapults the Singapore-based commodities firm into the top tier of global suppliers to the chocolate business.
It boosts Olam's processing capacity to about 700,000 tonnes, behind only Barry Callebaut and Cargill Inc. with operations in major producing countries Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Ghana and Brazil as well as coming markets in Europe, the United States, Canada and Asia.
The combined entity will be looking to source from around 850,000 tonnes to 900,000 tonnes annually, Gerry Manley, Olam's head of cocoa said.
"We want to be really focused on the cocoa products market and supplying the chocolate industry, cocoa powder users, and really not set ourselves up in competition to chocolate manufacturers," Manley said.
"Most importantly of all for us from a producing country point of view and indeed a consuming country point of view, we get Brazil. It's the largest producing country where Olam has not been involved before." Continuación...

Luna Moth | Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Wildflowers aren't they only thing I get to photograph, here is an example of a wonderful Luna Moth that I came across on a recent trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I found this wonderful subject laying on a boulder getting ready to take flight, and for what seemed like an eternity this beautiful flying flower stayed in this one position and let me capture some really incredible images of it !!
I was really blessed to find such a beautiful and majestic creature, most specimens of moths that I come across seemed to be severely battered, but this beauty was in all it's glory and I was so thankful for such an experience. Thanks for stopping by and taking a look, hope you enjoy the image !!
Synchronous Fireflies | Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Their light patterns are part of their mating display. Each species of firefly has a characteristic flash pattern that helps its male and female individuals recognize each other. Most species produce a greenish-yellow light; one species has a bluish light. The males fly and flash and the usually stationary females respond with a flash. Peak flashing for synchronous fireflies in the park is normally within a two-week period in late May to mid-June.
No one is sure why the fireflies flash synchronously. Competition between males may be one reason: they all want to be the first to flash. Or perhaps if the males all flash together they have a better chance of being noticed, and the females can make better comparisons.
The fireflies do not always flash in unison. They may flash in waves across hillsides, and at other times will flash randomly. Synchrony occurs in short bursts that end with abrupt periods of darkness.
Here is a pic from the Firefly Event, the pic doesn't do it justice. This is truly an event that must be witnessed, even after a few days I still couldn't convey the words on exactly what happened !!
The lights from the fireflies moved in waves up and down Elkmont Valley where we positioned ourselves, the pattern seemed to start far from us and be in strips of thousands of lights and would then stream across the bottom right toward us and then stop at our feet.
Then continuing on across the road at our backs towards the other side of the valley floor. There would be burst of 5 flashes quickly then it would stop for 10 seconds or so and then repeat in an almost frenzied fashion !!
The human reaction was incredible, when we first arrived hundreds of people were packed along the old roadbed that runs along the valley floor, many with lawn chairs and blankets making you think you were attending a fireworks show.
At first as the light faded you could feel the crowd growing impatient, people were laughing and talking and when one little firefly would appear they would remark is that it…I even began to wonder myself !!
The Park Rangers assured us to be patient and wait for the show, When it started the crowd was amazing, people at fireworks display usually oh and ah thru the whole event, but here there was an incredible silence as if the fear of your voice would scare them off and they would stop the beautiful display they were sharing with us.
Many in the crowd were brought to tears, including my wife, they were overwhelmed with such joy and amazement that the emotion displayed was almost as cool as the fireflies !!
Ok after this way too long post here is the pic, like I said before they are not that good and they don't really represent what I witnessed but it is something I will have forever to help me remember that warm wonderful summer evening !!
Porter's Creek Trail| Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Here are a few more images from another great trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Porter's Creek might be my favorite trail for wildflowers and that's because of one small little flower and that's the White Fringed Phacelia, or should I say millions of them !!
Walking this trail starts out with a nice gentle trail that has many of the different flowers that grace the park, but after traveling up the trail for a mile you cross over a very entertaining log bridge and then walk into a different world. All across the floor of the gorge and up the side of the mountain are millions upon millions of these little flowers, it actually looks like you had just experienced a snow fall.
It seems like it is right out of the Lord of the Rings or some other fantasy movie, it is one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen. The actual bloom is about the size of a nickel which isn't the largest broom out there, but when you have several million growing together it makes for an incredible sight to witness.
If you ever get a chance to travel to the park in the spring this another one of those great hikes you will be glad you took. So here are a few shots from the hike, I included a macro version of one the plants and then some of the actual trail itself, thanks for stopping by and taking a look !!
Wildflowers of the Great Smoky Mountains
Here are a few more images from a recent trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This time I thought I might share a few shots from the Cucumber Gap Trail "love the name" a trail which begins just above the Elkmont campground and makes a wonderful 5 mile loop that travels up thru a lovely hardwood forest and then loops back along a rushing boulder strewn river.
The trail is covered in beautiful wildflowers and here are an example of three that I really liked, Painted Trillium,Foam Flower and Beaked Violet. These are just a few of the indelible number of wildflowers that grow in the Smoky Mountains. I just wish I had the time to share all of them, I hope you enjoy these and if you ever get to the park in the spring definitely make Cucumber Gap Trail a must for any hike you take !!
Painted Trillium
Foam Flower
Beaked Violet
Wildflowers of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park
I thought it might be time to move on from the wildflowers we have here in Madison Indiana and venture on to my favorite spot to photograph and that's the The Great Smoky Mountains National Park in East Tennessee. If I could only have one place to photograph at for the rest of my life it would be here, the diversity of flora and fauna and not to mention the incredible landscape opportunities make the GSMNP a photographers dream.
This past April we made a trip down to hike and work all the great spots for wildflower images. Even though wildflowers cover nearly the entire park there are spots where if you make the trip you have to visit and these include Cove Hardwood Nature Trail, White-oak Sinks, Chimney's Top, Porters Creek and Cucumber Gap. These are all fantastic trails to view and photograph wildflowers and they are also relatively easy hikes as well !!
I won't share many images from each trail but I thought I might just share a few today and post more later. First we have some shots from Cove Hardwood Nature trail. I hope you enjoy the images and if you ever travel to the Park in the spring these trails are a must see on your visit !!

Have Cat Questions? Ask a Cat Vet Online.
Good Morning and welcome. I am Dr. Loretta, a licensed veterinarian and I am happy to answer your question.
Thank you so much for so much detail...I feel like I already know you...and Adrianna.
As you are aware, cats have a very difficult time with change especially as they age. This time , after losing Lucianna, it is even more tough on her. Cats can change but it does take time and patience which I am sure you are willing to do....my fear, though, for you is Adrianna's age. This may make thing even more difficult due to the possibility of dementia and organ compromises.
The first thing you should do is to purchase Feliway and Rescue Remedy at the pet store, These are holistic medications aimed at decreasing anxiety which is why Adrianna feels so afraid and distant. Use this as a diffuser and during this time allow her to investigate your girlfriend...never force her into anything. if she does show up where the 2 of you are, talk to her in a low calming voice which will help her feel safe and help her over her fears.
I would recommend that you have your vet examine Adrianna and run a full blood panel to be sure that some of her issues are not related to pain from arthritis or other metabolic issues. If the Feliway is not enough, they will have a medication called Clomicalm that will decrease her anxiety even more and help her to accept others.
Lastly, it may help to consult a veterinary behaviorist. You can do this as a phone consult and they will have other tips to help Adrianna more comfortable in her environment. You can find one at this LINK. This is not expensive.
Does that make sense to you?
Please let me know if you have ANY other questions. My goal is to give you 100% satisfaction and if you are not yet satisfied, please Reply so I can clarify for you
Sincerely, XXXXX XXXXX
Hello Dr. Loretta!
Thanks for your quick response! So more info for ya...
I take Adrianna in for a check up several times a year (because we travel so much) and my vet and I have determined that she shows no sign of her sister's heart disease and all her tests show her at average or better than average levels for her age. She does have feline FORLs, so we have to keep an eye on that, but she looked good on May 10th when we had her last check up (and before that in February). But, I will absolutely keep an eye on her health.
I also don't see her as uncomfortable in her environment. Being a traveling cat as she is, she was always the one to adjust to the new environment almost instantaneously- as opposed to Looch, who always took a couple days. She loves this apartment and when my girlfriend is not around, working on a job, and alone with me (or with me and a subletter who lives in the second bedroom) Adrianna could not seem happier, calmer, more content and playful.
Let's be frank, it has been obvious to me that when there's a woman around, I "play" with her and not Adrianna. She just sees that there's another being I'm spending time with that's NOT her. She definitely is more withdrawn and nervous when my gf's home- and has ALWAYS as long as I've known her with any gf.
So yes, I can try the feliway (I used that on tour for Looch who was MUCH more nervous than her sister- to not seemingly much effect), but I believe it's technical. I have never seen Adrianna trust/be comfortable around any other human. I know she's older and it may take time, but how can we help her see-- what can we (my gf and I) do to build up her trust of other humans, starting with my girlfriend?
Thanks for giving me a day to contemplate...
When Lucianna passed away, it was clear that my hunter, Adrianna, was, above all, bored. She needed a new challenge now that she had no other cat to "hunt." So a few months later I trained her to walk on a leash outside. It's a big challenge (i make sure not to push it too much), but one that I believe she ultimately enjoys (as do I)!
Yesterday, I took her out and my girlfriend came with. she didn't walk her, but walked with her and several times she let her be petted by her. Wanted her to pet her. Meaning, it's obvious that Adrianna knows her and trusts her more in unfamiliar environments (I notice this when we travel as well). That was heartening. So my last question... is there anything technically you'd suggest for myself and/or my girlfriend to do to ease things, even slightly, forward? Think my gf should feed Adrianna exclusively? Anything else you'd suggest?
Thank you so much, Michael for your kind rating. It is very much appreciated! Do not hesitate to contact me with any other concerns that you may have about Adrianna and her situation...jet setter cats are tougher than most so I am sure that your GF will bond with her given some time. If you have other questions, please Reply. I am always happy to help!
Have a great day, Michael....Adrianna too!!

You'll be getting the storm we're getting now! We've had several inches of snow, it's still snowing hard, and freezing rain is expected in a few hours. So far 85 churches in our county have cancelled all evening activities. We're staying put! We've got plenty of food, I'm all caught up on laundry, the dishwasher is running, and I filled the freezers with containers with water, so if the power goes out, I'm as ready as possible! If I wasn't booked for a flight to my parents on Tuesday, I'd really be enjoying this storm! Hopefully everything will be cleared up by then!02-20-2005, 05:28 PM #5

I envy all of you who are getting snow. We have ahd a really dry winter here with above average temperatures and our farmers are getting very concerned. Without more moisture in the soil, our wheat, lentil, pea, abd barley crops are going to be very dismal.

Of all the products Dharma carries, resists and guttas are the most technically difficult to use successfully. One of our most successful silk painting customers calls them the Achille's Heel of Silk Painting!
When you choose to try the Serti technique of silk painting, you must be aware that applying gutta or resist lines successfully takes practice and experimentation with different products to learn which one will work best for you. This is an art form and one should not expect to have perfect results without practice. In addition, as one changes fabrics, dyes, paints, or attempts new techniques, changes in the way the resist behaves may also occur. Painting on the dyes or paints and fixing them either by steaming or heat setting are the simplest parts of the process. The real difficulty lies in the application of the gutta/resist. Your success depends on your particular circumstances in addition to the characteristics of the type of resist you choose:
- Your choice of silk (weight and weave will dictate how easily the resist can penetrate the fiber)
- Weather conditions where you paint (dryness or humidity); sometimes the gutta will seem to never dry, staying tacky. The only solution we have found to this is dusting your final peice with a little cornstarch, talc or baby powder at the end.
- Dexterity of application (steady hands)
- Even pressure on the applicator bottle (no bubbles in the resist will ensure an even flow and good line width. If the line width is too thin or has gaps in it, that will allow the dye or paint to break through)
- Water-based resists don't always "hold" the line as well as true rubber/solvent-based Guttas, but don't involve the fumes and dry cleaning or shipping hassles because of flammability
- For wearables on which you want to use a colored resist that stays in the fabric, solvent based Guttas have less feel than acrylic based water soluble resists, but cannot be dry cleaned, and gold and silver eventually flake off a lot of the metallic looking stuff.
- Is the resist too thick? It can be thinned...very carefully! Add a drop at a time of Gutta Solvent for rubber-based Guttas (or water if using water-based resists) to get it to the proper consistency. Don't thin the whole bottle, but just what you are going to use. If you over thin it, you can then add more Gutta.
- Is the resist too thin? This causes the lines to bleed out and separate, even when you are using the smallest of tips. Especially with solvent based guttas, it could have gone bad, especially if it is old or not been stored in a cool dark place. The only thing that might work is letting it evaporate just a little - in a well ventilated place of course. If that doesn't work, you have to throw it out and get a new batch. The average shelf life of true solvent based guttas is only about 6 months, less with gold, silver and black. Refrigeration and darkness can extend it. With the guttas from France, you never know how old they were when they reached the U.S. We get new shipments every month, but they take a month just to get here and clear customs.
Steam setting, using a fixative, or heat-setting will have different effects on washability and texture. There are some issues you might encounter when using these methods:
- Guttas and water based resists may become sticky after steaming. You will need to dry clean clear guttas to remove, or wash out clear water based resists. Colored resists are not supposed to be removed, and the only solution suggested for this so far is a very light dusting with corn starch, talc or baby powder.
- Not all dry cleaners will take pieces to remove Gutta. We suggest checking with your local dry cleaners first, as removing Gutta yourself with solvents is much too hazardous, and then how do you dispose of it all safely? Ideally, find a dry cleaner who will do it by the load or by the lb. - suggest that they could put your pieces in by themselves at the end of the day before they clean the filters and that you don't need the pieces finished and pressed as you have to wash them again anyway, and it will be cheaper and they might be more amenable to doing it. Make sure you have fixed and removed any excess dye beforehand or they will never help you again! Also, we are not sure yet if the new more environmentally friendly cleaning fluids that a lot of dry cleaners are switching to these days are as effective. If anyone has figured this out, could you please call us!?
- Metallic or black Guttas cannot be dry cleaned as they will flake off and they are best used on wall hangings that will not be handled, folded, or twisted. If used on wearables, make sure the washing instructions are for hand washing, and NO DRY CLEANING.
- Water based resists may be difficult to wash out after steaming, especially if you have hard water. (try to rub them off while washing but they may not come out comletely)
- Due to the risk of it melting all over your iron, using rubber/solvent-based Guttas with heat-set paints like Dynaflow and Setasilk is NOT recommended - use a water based resist with those products.
You'll need to learn what these products can and cannot do and design your artwork and choose your materials accordingly. This basically means that Guttas and water based Resists are products you have to practice with to understand their inherent difficulties, to accommodate yourself to their limitations and ultimately to choose, or not, to deal with them. They are what they are.
Which brings us to this, if you are having trouble with your Gutta or resist, it does not necessarily mean that it is old or defective. All the of the resist products we sell have been in use by artists for years and are considered the best choice by those who continue to buy that particular brand. We suggest that you buy Guttas and Resists in small experimental quantities until you find the one that works for your particular technique. Take classes, buy books, talk to other silk painters. All art forms have a learning curve!
The bottom line is we can't accept returns for Guttas or Resists because "it did not work". Nor can we accept responsibility for your choice of materials. While we try to be as helpful as possible (we are much happier when you are happy), we can't teach master level silk painting over the telephone nor can we guarantee success in your particular circumstance. We have some great books and DVDs that will really help you with choices and techniques and there are artists out there who do teach classes, especially some of the authors of our books. You can usually find these classes on line but they are expensive and usually involve travel.

STREAMING: Malevolence "Antithetical"/
The last time Portugal's Malevolence released a full-length President Bill Clinton was still basking in acquittal glow for semenizing Monica Lewinsky. If Lewinsky (or the scandal name "Tailgate") don't ring a bell, well, you're probably too young. Of course, we don't expect you to recall Malevolence, whose Martyrialized full-length ultimately got lost in the melodic death metal shuffle 15 years ago. Well, the Portuguese have returned, with an updated sound, a new penchant for wild guitar sweeps and cold steel-like violence. Parallels could be made to unsung Italians Sadist or pre-annoying Textures or late phase Scarve, but there's far more to Malevolence's modern metal melange. The group's melodic death metal past creeps in from time to time, informing and improving the staccato riff assemblies and march-like rhythmic back end. And speaking of back end, drum god Dirk Verbeuren is on skins, so there's no slouching in that department.
Audio after the jump...
"Antithetical is loaded with intoxicatingly corrosive contrasts whilst the album represents pure rebellion," says main brain Carlos Cariano, "a pure nonconformist extension towards the current situation of the globe, an upheaval towards the current language that has no force of expression and no meaning, due to the predictability of words and counterfeit actions that have become commonplace worldwide. Inner strength and living values nowadays are negatively base underneath relative truths and we are expressing ourselves precisely antithetically whilst insisting on critical thinking."
With all that in mind, here's Antithetical:
** Malevolence's new album Antithetical is out now on Carbon Medien. It's available HERE from iTunes. Fans of Sadist, Kalisia, and Textures take notice!

Yep, this is dope,and it's time to bring back more old G.K's, with MK.
Yeah I've really started appreciating G.K.'s, especially when they serve a dual purpose, as a figurine, or playable monster. They aren't all made like that, but the ones that are can take on the world.
Really like the textures/tones you have going on the torso area. Garage kits are a old time favorite of mine.

1789 Restaurant Names Samuel Kim Executive Chef
Clyde's Restaurant Group has tapped Samuel Kim as the new executive chef for its landmark 1789 Restaurant at 1226 36th St., NW. He returns to Georgetown after cooking in some of the most high-profile restaurants in New York City. Previous 1789 chef Anthony Lombardo has taken the helm at the Hamilton, also owned by Clyde's.
Kim's previous job was as executive sous chef at Colicchio and Sons, a position he held since October 2011. Colicchio and Sons earned the 2013 Trip Advisor award for "Top Restaurant in the USA" and "Number Two in the World." His new appointment at 1789 Restaurant brings him full circle as he began his culinary career in 2004, when he convinced Ris Lacoste to hire him to pursue his passion for cooking.
"We are thrilled to have Samuel back with us at 1789," said Tom Meyer, president of Clyde's Restaurant Group. "He has a well-grounded approach to modern contemporary cooking which fits perfectly at 1789."
After earning a degree in finance from the University of Maryland, Kim worked at an investment bank in New York. Soon, however, he decided that the culinary field was his true passion -- and worked in the kitchen at 1789 Restaurant as chef de partie rotisseur. He was promoted in November 2005 to sous chef at Clyde's at Gallery Place.
In August 2007, Kim began cooking at the Modern in New York. After three years, he joined Tom Colicchio's Craft Restaurant Group and worked at the Chelsea restaurant, Colicchio and Sons. While in Manhattan, Kim also got a chance to cook at Per Se and Jean George.

Update: One or more card offers in this post are no longer available. Check our Hot Deals for the latest offers.
View from the Wing wrote about a new offer on the Chase Marriott Premier credit card which promises 70,000 bonus points + 1 free night! This is great news, because it is better than the current offer of 50,000 points + 1 free night.
You get the 70,000 bonus points and 1 free night valid at a category 1-4 Marriott after your 1st purchase. The 1st year fee of $85 is waived for the 1st year, and there are no foreign transaction fees.
Every anniversary you also get 1 free night valid at a category 1-5 Marriott and 15 nights credit towards elite status (which gets you Silver elite status).
There is also another offer of 50,000 points + a credit of $75 + 1 free night after using the card for the 1st time. Personally, I prefer the 70,000 point offer because I value the extra 20,000 Marriott points (70,000 – 50,000) more than the $75 statement credit.
I also updated the regular (i.e. the non-premier version) of the Chase Marriott Rewards credit card offer to reflect a better offer of 30,000 points + 2 free nights + a $75 statement credit. Offers elsewhere may not have the $75 statement credit!
There is also a Marriott business card offering 22,500 points + 2 free business nights, but I wouldn't recommend applying for that because 22,500 points is a really low bonus in the current environment where many cards are offering at least 50,000 points.
I won't be applying for the 70,000 point Marriott Premier card because I'm maxed out of Chase applications and I want to limit myself to only 3 to 4 Chase applications a year. I'd rather apply for the Southwest Rapid Rewards Plus business card and have a shot at the companion pass instead.
If you have applied for the Marriott Premier credit card in the last 60 to 90 days, you should send a secure message (after logging in to the Chase website) to Chase asking them if they would match the current 70,000 bonus to your account.
I would keep the note short and to the point. Here's what I would say:
Dear Customer Service Representative,
I recently applied (October 2, 2011) for the Chase Marriott Premier credit card with a 50,000 bonus. I've been using it as my primary card since then and love earning extra Marriott reward points on it.
However, I noticed that there is a current offer for 70,000 bonus points on the Chase Marriott Premier credit card. I'd be very grateful if you could match my account to the current promotion!
Why does Chase have to have all the good credit card offers!
Like me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter to get the latest update on mile and points deals!
Disclosure: I don't get any referral bonus or commission from Chase or anyone else for this post or for the links to the Chase credit card in this post.

Lawmakers tightened scrutiny of drug-using aid recipients and parents of children in state custody through two measures, including approval of a pilot program requiring parents involved with the Division of Child and Family Services to pay a $5 fee for court-ordered drug tests.
Recipients of cash assistance would also fill out questionnaires aimed at detecting illegal drug use. If the screening indicates a problem, the person would be required to enter drug treatment and stay clean to continue receiving aid.
Lawmakers directed the Department of Workforce Services to gather more detailed information on intergenerational poverty.
But an effort to give businesses up to $1,000 in tax credits for employing a homeless person didn't gain traction. Meanwhile, advocates will be keeping a close eye on how affordable housing issues fare now that lawmakers agreed to put the Division of Housing under DWS' portfolio.
Although its budget remained flat, DCFS will be doing business a bit differently in the future. There will be more emphasis on keeping families intact, in-home services and kinship placements. DCFS also will need more proof to remove children from relatives' care.
The division will now put names of private service providers on its website; the bill excludes foster parents. It also will be required to give parents a pamphlet explaining their rights whenever a child is placed in state custody.
The division and courts also will study how to better protect parental rights in child welfare cases during the interim session.
And guardians ad litem will be required to do their own investigations in child welfare cases; also, private ad litems will now be the rule in district court cases.
There were two measures aimed at giving notices to unwed biological fathers of adoption proceedings, but only one survived. Lawmakers approved a bill introduced by Sen. Todd Weiler, R-Woods Cross, which says a birth mother, her attorney or an adoption agency may choose to send a "pre-birth notice" to an unwed biological father informing him of a potential adoption and giving him 30 days to act to protect his rights.
The bill also would give judges discretion to enter a final decree of adoption before a six-month waiting period has ended.
A resolution sponsored by Sen. Karen Morgan, D-Cottonwood Heights, endorsed the recommendations of the state Alzheimer's disease task force, but a bill to take the first small step to implementing the plan went nowhere.

Hallucinate Responsibly
There are a few things you should know about this wine.
First of all, it is delicious and refreshing. On the nose it is a summer bouquet of freesia.
Secondly, it is perfectly normal to experience a hint of wildflowers popping up when you swirl the wine around in the glass. Figuratively speaking, of course. What is NOT normal is perceiving that an actual bouquet of wildflowers has suddenly sprouted from your glass.
If this does occur, it is possible that either A) You have had way too much or B) Someone has put something in your drink (and I'm not talkin' tulip bulbs, here.)
If at any point you suspect that someone has spiked your drink, please do the following:
1. Put down your glass.
2. Seek medical attention immediately.
3. Tell them you think someone slipped you a mickey.
4. Stop using the word "mickey." You sound like you're 80.
5. If you are, in fact, 80 years old, disregard #4.
Otherwise, please continue to enjoy responsibly the fresh and delightful palate of honeydew melon, pear and passion fruit, especially with seafood pasta, quiche or antipasti.

Dealer Selection Receive your free dealer pricing information by completing your contact information! I hate the Corvette ZR1. Also, I'm a pretentious snob with "a Eurocentric class agenda." To understand my writing, some readers apparently "require my dictionary and even my thesaurus at the same time. " I like Ferraris, Porsches, and, in fact, any car brand with a name that's the least bit tricky to pronounce. I do not like Chevys. See, "Chevy" is too easy to say. Also, Chevys don't smell good.Such are the sorts of things readers write about you when you dare utter a criticism of America's beloved, red-white-and-blue, two-seat superhero, the Chevrolet Corvette. Aim a deprecating remark at the greatest Vette ever, the ZR1, and, well, it's "Eurocentric" war.The firestorm unleashed after the appearance of the February issue, in which I wrote a column (also viewable here) entitled "King Near: What you don't get for almost $120,000." The point of the piece was simply to illustrate that, however great the ZR1 is — and it is, indeed, one of the most spectacular automobiles I have ever driven — if you think it blows off the best from the likes of Ferrari and Porsche by every subjective and objective measure, well, you're swimming in Bowling Green Kool-Aid. The simple fact is this: The ZR1 spanked the Ferrari 599, the Porsche GT2, and the Nissan GT-R in February's "War of the Worlds" comparison (which I also wrote). Chevy finished on top, I said as much, and I gleefully heralded its victory with the words, "In the supercar realm, the Corvette ZR1 rules."Apparently that wasn't good enough for some. Because in the same issue appeared my "King Near" column, in which I attempted to explain that, yes, the ZR1 is fantastic and quicker than the bluebloods and worth every penny, but that's not to say that the Euro stars don't offer something the Vette doesn't. Namely, a higher level of craftsmanship, superior materials, tactile elegance, a certain je ne sais quois (uh oh, there St. Antoine goes again with those funny words — where's the dictionary?). Are those qualities worth the staggering cost premium the European exotics require over the ZR1? Highly debatable. In fact, in my column I never said as much. I merely pointed out that, having driven all of these cars extensively, I can say with authority that a ZR1 is not the equal of a Ferrari or a Porsche in every way. That's a simple fact. Whether it matters to you, if you were buying one of these amazing rides, is purely a matter of personal opinion.Ah, but did the floodgates gush. In the great tradition of "everything from over here rules, and everything from over there blows," the angry letters and emails poured forth. Wrote one furious Minnesotan: "Your opinion re: the ZR1 just reminded me why I quit reading Motor Trend. You bunch of import-crap flag-waving @*&$s should all be driving Yugos." Um, the ZR1 finished Number One, Mr. Minnesota, sir. What would've cooled your ire? Should we have ranked it Number Zero? Wrote another impassioned reader: "Mr. Arthur St. Antoine really showed his ignorance in his article. It obviously irks him to no end that the Corvette is killing the foreign cars. His blatant attempt at ridiculing the ZR1 in his 'comparison' doesn't even rate as journalism." I particularly enjoyed the missive from the bravely named "Joe Blow," who wrote: "Hey Mr. Antoine [sic] no wonder you wrote that article 'King Near.' I can forgive you for putting the Corvette down after all, your [sic] of French ancestory [sic], you can't help being an ass. I just pray someday you won't be crying on your import leather car seats that the U.S. is a second rate power that doesn't build automobiles. Go @&!* yourselves."Hmmm. Judging only by the quality of Mr. Blow's prose, apparently the U.S. is; edging closer to that also-ran status every day . . .Allow me to set straight a few things. First, yes, I am of French ancestry — sort of the same way Chili's is Mexican. I am, in fact, as American as apple croissants. Born in Washington D.C. on Pearl Harbor Day in the same hospital where Jacqueline Kennedy was recovering from birthing John-John. I am told I arrived into this world clutching an American flag in one hand and a model U2 spy plane in the other.Second, I absolutely love the ZR1. During the "War of the Worlds" comparo, I put in several laps at the five-mile Arizona Proving Grounds oval, reaching speeds on the straights of more than 190 mph. Was it a good day? As Dr. Evil would say: "Breath-take-ing." I also drove the Porsche GT2 during our impromptu four-car drag races — and watched from behind every time as Scott Mortara in the ZR1 simply pulled ahead and ran away from the rest of us. Am I proud of what my hometown U.S. of A. hath wrought? You bet your sweet Mega Lo Mart I am.I'll admit, however, that I'm troubled by the outpouring of angst following my suggestion of rough edges in the ZR1's Herculean character. Why the uproar? Chevrolet's designers and engineers achieved their mission brilliantly. The ZR1 does exactly what it what supposed to do, laying down liver-twisting performance that humiliates sports cars costing well more than twice the price. That should make any American car lover plenty proud, no? To fail to acknowledge, though, that the ZR1 simply doesn't match Ferrari or Porsche in other, perhaps less muscular ways is precisely the sort of narrow-minded, "We're Americans we're best" claptrap that helped to bring the U.S. auto industry to its knees. At times, the vitriol is so thick it almost sounds like something else: fear.I dare say that much of the hate mail arrived from readers who have never driven or even sat in a Porsche or a Ferrari. But when you have done so, particularly when you've done so back-to-back with a Corvette, you will understand that there is a difference. Call it what you will: drama, glamour, specialness. It's there, and it's real. Indeed, that's precisely why some buyers gladly spend ridiculous amounts of money on ultra-exotic cars. Perhaps you or I might not agree on the value of their chosen investments — we might prefer the thrills-per-dollar ratio of the ZR1 — but Ferrari or Porsche buyers couldn't care less. For them, the extra something is worth it, even if they have to stretch to get it.Meantime, I will continue to run for the keys any time a ZR1 rumbles anywhere near MT World Headquarters. It's a shame that honest critiques of this magnificent automobile have become catalysts for petty outrage and witless Xenophobia.We should be cheering at fireworks.

Counterfeit Drugs Are Big Business
Published February 15th, 2012
WASHINGTON (AP) - The discovery that a fake version of the widely used cancer medicine Avastin is circulating in the United States is raising new fears that the multibillion-dollar drug-counterfeiting trade is
increasingly making inroads in the U.S.
The practice is largely found in poor countries with lax regulations. But with more medicines and drug ingredients for sale in the U.S. being manufactured overseas, American authorities are afraid more
counterfeits will find their way into this country, putting patients' lives at risk.
The Avastin discovery follows other recent instances in the U.S. of counterfeiting, involving such drugs as Viagra, the cholesterol medicine Lipitor and the weight-loss pill Alli.

We needs a discussion on mod articles. GTAModding.com is the place to write a wiki article about mods. I think GTA Wiki should not be the place for this. Anything about mods can be placed on GTAModding.com. I request a deletion of all mod articles except this one. Anyone agrees?--Spaceeinstein 22:20, November 21, 2009 (UTC)
I agree. There is no point in having more than one article to do with modifications.--Olivercooke 22:42, November 21, 2009 (UTC)
- Anyone else agree so articles like WTC Modification won't appear? I want more inputs because there is a modification category with many old articles already.--Spaceeinstein 00:04, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
I bloody hate the modders that roam around on GTA IV. They continously set you on fire, don't die and if you get annoyed with them, then they stick you in the locked prison area until you leave. Eventually, they even crash your game! Hate 'em.

The true idiots are thoses who won't vote to kick and send a complaint of alteratilon to modders in GTA 4 multiplayer. We need to stop them in a way or another. The only thing we can do is report them and kick them. The mods on console versions are all unfair. Invinsible cars are unfair, if you see one drive it into the water or find a way to do so. Only one of these car can ruin a fun game. Vengarnos (talk) 08:29, July 18, 2013 (UTC)

Redone Slideshow?
An awful lot of the slideshow mods are non-notable and probably just the creators showing off. Also, 139 images is just plain overkill.

Photos by Moonlight
This moonlight photo would never have worked the old way Southern Living shot images. Want to know why?
With film, details in shadowed areas weren't revealed before the bright areas were burned out or overexposed. That resulted in images with too much contrast to reproduce in the magazine. And the colors in those images would shift in strange but not desirable ways. With the digital cameras we now use there has been a subtle but exciting shift in what's possible. Long exposures under low or even extremely low light levels now are easy as long as you have a tripod.
If you're technically minded, this shot was taken with a Canon 5D and a 50mm lens almost two hours after sunset. My ISO was 800 and the exposure was 10 seconds at an aperture of f.11. I tried several exposures up to 30 seconds and the colors and brightness in the shadows remained spot on.
If you have a digital camera and a tripod, don't be afraid to try long exposure photographs at night. You might surprise yourself. And at worst, you always have a delete button.

Transmission Shifter Issue
Has anyone else noticed that the shifter can be moved from Drive, to neutral, to reverse without hitting the brake or being in a complete stop? All my other vehicles never had this and I am wondering if it's just a design flaw for the 2011 Grand Cherokee.
Re: Transmission Shifter Issue
It will not actually engage reverse.. it shifts the jeep to neutral, but will not shift into reverse while moving forward (at least at a substantial speed). My dog has knocked my jeep into reverse while going around 35-40 mph. It just stayed in neutral.
Pretty normal to shift into neutral without depressing the brake. I'm not sure about reverse, but since it doesnt actually shift to reverse, I don't think it's a design flaw at all.

Biographical Note for saint anthony's fire
Saint (circa 250–350), Egyptian monk. St. Anthony is regarded as the founder of Christian monasticism. From the age of 20 he practiced an ascetic life, living in absolute solitude on mountains or in the desert. He occasionally emerged from his seclusion in order to instruct and organize the monastic life of other hermits who had imitated him or to preach against heresies. He is the patron saint of swineherds, and in the art of the Middle Ages he is shown with a small pig at his side. Since pork fat was used to dress the wounds of skin diseases, he became the saint of those who care for the sick, and skin diseases such as erysipelas and ergotism became known as Saint Anthony's fire.

But if its penetrative damp it would make it significantly worse. Furthermore, filling the cavity with foam may have a detrimental impact and make penetrative damp appear if it wasn't there before. The purpose of a cavity is to allow water to run down the interior face of the external brickwork. If you fill it with foam this cannot happen. Both bricks and blocks are semi permeable.
When a house is built the only contact between the external wall leafs are wall ties. These are designed to prevent the connection of water between the external wall and the internal wall with bends to create drips which will then vent at the bottom of the cavity or at a cavity closer.
[I]The opinions I give are simply my opinions and interpretations of what I have learnt, in numerous years as a property professional, I would not rely upon them without consulting with a paid advisor and providing them with all the relevant facts[I]
I agree - but just pointing out it may not be structural, only condensation - I'm also aware that EHO should know that cavity fill may make structural defects worse - but may improve condensation - and they are the ones that have seen it.
Ultimately, if you are that concerned about the dangerous state of the property and the LL refuses to act, then why stay in occupation? Stubborness? There are many, many more good landlords with good properties in the market than bad ones.
The regularity that a tenant posts on here about how terrible, dangerous horrible their rented property is and how it's making them ill or ruining their possessions and yet they flatly refuse to move.
One of the reasons why bad landlords get away with being bad landlords is that tenants stay in these poor properties thinking they can 'change the LLs ways'.
You state that the property has been the in disrepair for many years and yes, your LL should be fixing it but they aren't.
If your only option is to remain in the property (which I don't think is the case) then you have only a few limited options;
1. to be badgering EH continuously to act against the LL.
2. to carryout works yourself.
3. to accept it and live with it.
Asbestos is a nasty product but actually very easy and straight forward to deal with. Wear a dustmask and a paper all-in-one romper suit. Wetting the asbestos down and keeping it wet during removeal will stop it crumbling into dust (which is the danger bit). Double bag it (with the dust masks and romper suits) and clearly mark it asbestos and take it to your local tip. Your council will have a tip that will take domestic asbestos waste.
You could apply and get the cavities filled for £100 by your energy supplier. You may even get this waived if you're on benefits. You may have to be a bit economical with the truth regarding ownership but the whole reason for the subsidised scheme is to help people like you out so no harm no foul as far as I'm concerned.
I know that you shouldn't have to do these things but if you're determined to stay put and no one else is helping and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the, no wait I've gone off track there.
All I'm saying is that you should take a step back and look at things less personally. Is your idea of home really a damp, mouldy, asbestos ridden building?
There is always scope for misinterpretation.
If my posts can be interpreted in two ways, one that makes you feel angry and one that doesn't, I meant the latter.
Everyday is an opportunity to learn something new.
There is a procedure, established by case law (Lee-Parker v- Izzet [1971] 1 WLR 1688) whereby a T may carry out repairs and deduct the cost from the rent.
The procedure must be strictly followed, and copies of all correspondence etc carefully kept, otherwise you may face eviction for unpaid rent.
You should also be 100% certain that the repairs are the LL's liability (I dimly recall a thread on here about a Rent Act T who initially had, I think, a longer lease, and it made him liable for repairs).
For further details of the procedure, see http://england.shelter.org.uk/get_ad..._doing_repairs
There are no 'rent act' tenants that are voluntarily going to give up their low rent for another property costing 3-4 times as much as they are paying, I had to wait until mine died before I had mine back after buying it, I was patient, but frustrated.Ultimately, if you are that concerned about the dangerous state of the property and the LL refuses to act, then why stay in occupation? Stubborness? There are many, many more good landlords with good properties in the market than bad ones.
I offer no guarantee that anything I say is correct. wysiwyg
I agree that low rent is a consideration but not the only one. True, I'm positive that no one in their right mind would move to a property in similar condition and pay 4x the rent.
That isn't the issue here. The issue here is a property the OP considers to be in a hazardous state and a LL who is refusing to act (assuming it's his responsibility). When all is considered - money, health and well being - is it the right decision to stay in residence? Afterall, I could offer rotten meat very cheaply. It doesn't mean it's the right decision to buy it and eat it.
I feel for the OP, hence my advice to step back and take an un-emotional view on matters.
There is always scope for misinterpretation.

7120 Head Swap
My 99 WJ has the crack prone 0331 head on it and I believe it is cracked or cracking. I've got a 94 parts Cherokee that I can nab the head and anything else I need off of it. It is a 7120 casting.
I know I'll have to fan up some brackets for the coil packs and I'll have to use a header or the exhaust manifold from the 7120 head.
My question is what parts would I need from the Cherokee and what extra work will it take to swap it on my WJ?
What benefits will I see on the WJ 4.0 with the 7120 head? Is it worththe work to swap that head on?

For 70 years Jim Bowles lived in the same rented three-bedroom house in a small Worcestershire village with his younger brother Francis. When Francis died at the age of 79 earlier this year, Bowles found it difficult to live alone - the house seemed too big and he found it impossible to manage the large garden - but he could not face the trauma of moving home.
Then Bowles was contacted by his council's recycling homes project and within months he moved into a one-bedroom flat on a sheltered housing scheme and has not looked back since. He says: "I just felt that I was rattling around in the house by myself. I was capable of looking after myself but the house had become too big.But I hadn't thought about moving at all until I was contacted by the council."
Bowles is one of around 100 tenants who have successfully "down-sized" from a social housing home into a smaller property that matches their needs as part of the recycling homes project, set up just over a year ago by Wychavon district council. As the properties have become vacant they are offered to other tenants who have been living in cramped conditions and who need more space to bring up a family.
Kath Smith, council housing services manager, operations, developed the scheme after she discovered that 40% of the council's 8,000 managed social housing stock was underoccupied and at the same time the council faced a crisis in being able to provide affordable housing .
She says: "We have 5,500 people on our housing waiting list. We can't build enough houses . So I thought what we needed to do was to recycle the homes that we do have to make sure that we have the right people in the right homes. Today, 12% of all people we rehouse are moving into a recycled home."
Smith appointed a project worker, Shirley Smith, to run the scheme. Originally she worked her way thought a list of tenants living in underoccupied property that she compiled with help from housing associations. But she is now also taking cases referred to her from GPs, health visitors, relatives and other agencies of tenants, usually isolated and elderly, who are finding it difficult to continue living in a home that has become too big for them.
Shirley Smith explains to the tenants what their housing options are and tries to match their needs to an empty property. She also supports tenants through the removal process and will check with tenants weeks later that they have settled in.
The project has also expanded to provide support for tenants in underoccupied private rented housing as well as owner-occupiers who feel trapped in a home which has become too big for them.
Shirley Smith says many older people want to move because they become overwhelmed by the demands of keeping up a large property. But she admits: "One of the problems is that a lot of them don't understand about sheltered housing and say, 'I'm not going into an old people's home'. They don't realise that it offers them independent living." Many older people are relieved to downsize. "Many of them have faced a whole range of problems and they may be feeling isolated and want to be with people of their own age and have things going on around them."
Liz Dyde, head of revenue and housing at Wychavon, says that while the project is small, its benefits are huge. "We realised that we couldn't build enough homes to meet the demand that we had. This project is significant because it makes better use of the existing homes that we already have."
She says it has successfully confronted a "sensitive" issue because people in social housing , especially older people, expect to have a house for life. "It can be a huge wrench and I think we need to make it more usual that people [in social housing ] do move."
The Wychavon initiative is cheap to run: its only bill is the annual pounds 14,500 salary of the part-time project worker. It also saves money. So far, the council estimates it has cut costs by around pounds 1.5m - money that would have had to be spent building new homes or adapting existing properties to allow the older people to continue to live in them.
The council is confident that other local authorities could follow its lead, which would go some way in taking the heat out of the UK affordable housing crisis. Dyde says: "We hope that other local authorities will take this forward as good practice because it is something which is very simple and effective and doesn't cost the earth."

I would think somewhere in the $400 range for starts, but to get a decent average price, look and see what your revolver is selling for on GunBroker. That's what my LGS does when he is looking for a price to give on used firearms.
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but if I were to sell my Taurus .44 magnum, 6.5" barrel, blue (model 2-440061), what could I reasonably get for it - selling it myself and/or going through a broker/used gun shop? It is in overall very good to excellent condition with only about 50-100 rounds going through it.
I would think somewhere in the $400 range for starts, but to get a decent average price, look and see what your revolver is selling for on GunBroker. That's what my LGS does when he is looking for a price to give on used firearms.
HE thinks, therefore I am! <><
I think somewhere around $50......I'll be glad to send you $75 All kidding aside, hope you get a good price for it. I sold a gun once, to a stranger, and drew up a form for both of us to sign and keep. If you can get a third party witness or notary, even better. The form had our names, license number, date, price, and serial numbers on the gun. Although it doesn't go to the gov or anything, it does give you a point of reference in case the gun ever comes up in a crime. Hope the sale goes well - $400 seems to be a descent price, especially if you aren't having any trouble with it/accuracy.
If you are going to sell it yourself the gun is worth somewhere between $275 and $350 depending on it's condition, $275 showing some signs of wear but 90% or better, $350 being used but otherwise like new. If you are looking to sell it to a gun shop you can expect to be offered about half that much or perhaps slightly more than half on a trade. This is based upon the current Blue Book of Gun Values for an M44 in blue steel.
There is nothing in life so bad or so awful that it cannot be made infinitely worse by a lawyer.
In my neck of the woods you'd probably get around $375-$400. Do your best never to sell to a gun shop, they'll fleece you and never look back. If you're looking to sell yourself, there are firearms classifieds that allow you to post for free, and there is also the classifieds section on this site. Good luck with your sale!
A lot if the pricing will have to do with location (which you didin't give) if you are looking to sell it yourself. Price a like pistol over on Gunbroker or GunAmerica and see what people are asking. The do a search for completed auctions and see what the like revolvers actually sold for and you will have a good real line base number to expect and ask.
Off hand I would say somewhere between $325 and $400, depending on how quick you want to sale it.
Thanks for all the responses. I'm in Wisconsin. I took it to a Gander Mt. and they offered $290 with no trade. I called a local gun dealer and explained what I had and without seeing it they gave a ballpark figure of $300-350.

Leigh Ann Vaughn and psychology students and alumna publish article on narratives and persuasion
Contributed by Leigh Ann Vaughn on 12/07/2010
Leigh Ann Vaughn, Associate Professor of Psychology, Kathryn Childs ('10), Claire Maschinski ('11), N. Paul Niño ('11), and Rachael Ellsworth ('11) have published an article titled, "Regulatory fit, processing fluency and narrative persuasion," in this month's issue of Social and Personality Psychology Compass.
This theoretical piece presents their regulatory fit and processing fluency approach to narrative persuasion, on which Vaughn's Social Judgment Research Team has been working for the past five years. The following is from the article's abstract:
For millennia, people have used narratives to inform and persuade. However, little social psychological research addresses how and when narrative persuasion occurs, perhaps because narratives are complex stimuli that are difficult to vary without significantly changing the plot or characters. Existing research suggests that regulatory fit and ⁄ or processing fluency can be varied easily and in ways completely exterior to narrative content but that nonetheless affect how much narratives engage, transport, and persuade. We review research on narrative transportation and persuasion and then discuss regulatory fit and its relationship to processing fluency. Afterward, we discuss how regulatory fit and processing fluency may affect psychological engagement, transportation, and persuasion via narratives.
The research on which this paper was based was funded, in part, by an Ithaca College School of Humanities and Sciences Educational Initiative Grant. Thanks go to the following research team students for their help with earlier materials development, data collection, posters and publication about this research: Erin Abshere ('06), Nathaniel Baum ('07), Jolie Baumann ('07), Laura Candeloro ('06), Christine Dosch ('07), Colin Flynn ('07), Sarah Hesse ('06), Christine Klemann ('07), Jill Malik ('05), Nora McCaffrey ('06), Jessica Nuzzetti ('07), Melahat Ozses ('08), Zhivka Petkova ('06), Sandra Schwartz ('03), Lisa Schlessinger ('07), Bill Smith ('06), Lindsay Trudeau ('06), Adam Weber ('07), and Kumar Yogeeswaran ('06).

First of all thanks for your answer.
My programs consist of two principal steps: at first it solve the
linear case, then using it program calculates nonlinear approximation
of the task. You were right about geometrical nonlinearity. If I set
semi-axes of ellipse equal, then the duration of calculation will be
about 3-5 minutes, depending on number of elements of row. All
stresses and strains are plane. The nonlinear properties of given
material are described by Murnaghan potential. I don't use NDSolve
because there are no numerical calculus in program. All
steps(including the answer) are symbolical. Boundary conditions
consist in null stress on the boundary of elliptical hole. For solving
I use Kolosov-Mushelishvili complex potentials, expanding them to
finite row. Because of large symbolical expressions tensor operations,
integration and especially Symplify and FullSimplify,
which use these expressions are very time consuming. By the way,
where can I get tensor package of Mathematica, as in the program
I had to wrote some tensor functions myself (I didn't find in
Mathematica nabla operator, convolution product and other operations,
which can be applied to tensors).
Best regards,

Your Lego palace awaits
Now you no longer just visit fantasy land, you live in it. The Legoland Hotel in Carlsbad, California, has nailed every detail down to the themed rooms (pirates, castles) and lobby with its giant mosh pit full of plastic blocks, so kids can click away while grown-ups check in. And you can't walk around a corner without stumbling across larger-than-life Lego sculptures, made with more than 3 million blocks: In the Bricks Family Restaurant, bumbling chefs tussle with overflowing cookie batter and a dog making off with sausage links. Head into the Skyline Café, and the mini cityscape has Spider-Man scaling a building and a wizard reading a book by a rooftop pool. Industrial-strength glue holds the sculptures together, so go ahead and touch. Or, better yet, use them as inspiration—there's a Lego box in every room. From $269; california.legoland.com

Bleep's Guide to British Independent Music compiles some of the best and most influential moments in the history of British independents. The focus of this compilation is largely on the labels and musicians who have recorded and sold music through independent means or have showed a particularly independent spirit in the way their music is released. At the heart of our story are the the biggest independent labels of the last 50 years: Beggars Banquet, Rough Trade, Domino, Ninja Tune, XL Recordings, Mute, 4AD and of course, Warp.
It should be noted that the narrative we have here is not intended as a completely comprehensive guide to every single aspect of British independent music. We acknowledge that there are gaps - our story starts just on the brink of the '60s, while British folk music, very early electronic music, and British reggae, dub and sound system culture are perhaps not given all the attention they merit. Bleep's guide is one that is tied to our history as a company and the kind of labels, artists and movements that have been most influential in our development. There is also a greater focus on artists and labels who have achieved great commercial success and influence despite – or perhaps because of – the fact they are operating outside the major label system. Our track selection also contains a hefty amount of music from the last ten to twenty years, showing just how alive and kicking the spirit of independent British music continues to be.
All MP3s and FLACs come with original artwork and year of release. All purchases come with accompanying PDF sleevenotes. Available for a limited period only.
This compilation developed out of a project to create a Facebook timeline charting the development of British independent music.

PNW has a business plan that gets looked at and supposedly updated as needed, but that seems to be as far as it goes. As far as Dave's issues with land use and response, there are only a few that get it and really will jump on it. He is right in that most seem not to care about it, at least until their favorite route is locked down.
My issues are with things that should be done right without thinking about it, like getting membership issues done in a timely manner. Since April is NOT a timely manner. Having an over 10 year out of date email on an associate member is sloppy housekeeping as is having the wrong associate member pricing here on this site. Is anyone even trying to fix this? Since I have not been contacted, the answer is obviously a big, huge resounding NO.
This association had better start getting it's act together or members are just going to say the h*ll with it and go elsewhere. I am looking at losing members with this kind of cr*p and I don't need that.

SAM SHUTTER: Going to half-day Fridays a ludicrous plan
Someone told me about a school board/administrative plan for the Blairsville-Saltsburg School District to go to a schedule of half-day classes every Friday, starting this fall.
At first, I thought it a joke and patiently waited for the punch line.
I assumed the idea was to save money by not having to hire substitute teachers when the regular teacher is off learning the latest pedagogical technique.
I later found that this proposal was conceived to incorporate time in the schedule for teachers' continuing education. Regardless, does that mean we all should expect to receive a tax decrease?
Imagine having less class time and calling it progress?
My school experience taught me that most half-days meant a day at the circus, so to speak.
With this ludicrous plan, we inconvenience most of the parents and put many of the children at risk in an unsupervised setting. Is the school going to provide free day care?
Only people who are really out of touch with reality could possibly conceive of such a plan and be totally blind to the financial and psychological burden it places on everyone else.
The only fair solution to this would be to allow the people who pay their salaries to vote on this. Then you would get a response that you couldn't ignore.

Wake up half an hour before the alarm clock.
Whine at the bedroom door.
Stand up and drum on the bedroom door with my front paws.
When my owner pretends to sleep, bark until she gets up.
Jump on her and lick her ears.
Follow her into the kitchen. Beg for food. Turn up my nose at dog food.
Happily munch on Cheerios.
Follow her into the other bedroom to wake up my human sister. Jump on her bed and lick her feet.
Try to eat HER cereal.
Do my crazy run when my owner gets my harness. Jump up on my hind legs so she can slip it over my head, but don't let her fasten it yet.
Bark to wake up the neighborhood.
Finally let my owner fasten the harness. Race down the stairs.
Stop at every tree and patch of grass on the way to the car.
Pretend I don't want to ride in the car (look away when my owner says "hop in").
Finally hop in the car. Stand up and lean my paws over the back seat so I can see out the rear window.
Sit down when my owner says "Sit, Tuffy. I can't see through your head!"
Whimper every time we pass another dog.
After my human sister gets to school, pant excitedly until we stop for a walk in the grass.
Ride home.
Race to the water bowl. Lap up half the bowl, splashing the rest merrily.
Watch my owner to see which room she's headed for.
Lie down and sleep at her feet.

ATLANTA - The Justice Department has given Georgia approval to again verify voters' identity and citizenship, Secretary of State Brian Kemp announced on Monday.
Federal officials have precleared a modified new program designed to confirm that prospective voters are U.S. citizens. The Justice Department's Civil Rights Division had repeatedly rejected similar versions of the Georgia program.
MACON - A federal judge did not immediately block a new Georgia law that would ban the carrying of firearms into houses of worship.
Gun rights advocates say they were disappointed in the decision Monday by U.S. District Court Judge C. Ashley Royal.
MIAMI - Hurricane Danielle has strengthened to a Category 2 storm as it churns far out over the Atlantic.
The hurricane has maximum sustained winds Tuesday near 100 mph (160 kph) and could become a major hurricane by early Wednesday.

BATON ROUGE, La. - Patsy Mara doesn't doubt the man the FBI calls the "Granddad Bandit," suspected in a string of bank robberies across the country, is her husband. The 61-year-old schoolteacher, however, still has trouble reconciling the image of a holdup man who snatched money from more than two dozen banks with the gentle, loving husband she married just a year ago.
Michael Mara, 52, was arrested Wednesday after police and FBI agents acting on a tip surrounded their modest home in Baton Rouge. He surrendered peacefully after a nearly six-hour standoff.
ATLANTA - As anti-establishment anger swept other parts of the nation, Georgia Republicans tapped an 18-year congressional veteran dogged by ethics allegations as the party's nominee for governor.
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - The so-called "Granddad Bandit" suspected of robbing banks in 13 states eluded authorities for about two years even as he stayed in plain, unremarkable sight.
Michael Francis Mara, 52, had recently moved into a modest home in Baton Rouge with his new wife, a schoolteacher. She told neighbors about his frequent business trips around the country.
ATLANTA - Gubernatorial candidate Karen Handel has conceded her runoff for the Republican nomination, saying she will not seek a recount against Nathan Deal.
ATLANTA - Georgia Department of Transportation Commissioner Vance C. Smith Jr. announced Monday that the department applied for $34 million in federal funding to accelerate development of high-speed rail service from Atlanta to Chattanooga, Tenn., continuing to Nashville and eventually to Louisville, Ky.
ATLANTA - Leaders in Georgia's fractured Republican Party preached unity even as the outcome of the bruising primary runoff for governor remained in doubt. Some 2,500 votes separated the two candidates, leaving the race too close to call and a recount likely.
In unofficial returns, Nathan Deal and Karen Handel each claimed 50 percent of the vote with 99 percent of precincts reporting. Deal did hold a slim lead with an unknown number of provisional, overseas and military ballots yet to be counted. Under Georgia law, the runner-up can request a recount if the margin is less than 1 ...
WASHINGTON - Hoping to show disenchanted voters that they are the party that cares about jobs, House Democrats are convening an emergency session to pass a bill aimed at saving hundreds of thousands of teachers and other public workers from unemployment.
Lawmakers rushing back from town hall meetings and vacations for the one-day session Tuesday may also address another issue that will be on voters' minds this November - lax border security - with passage of a $600 million bill to beef up surveillance along the U.S.-Mexican border.

RICHMOND, Va. - Photos of a balding, stocky man believed to have robbed 25 banks in 13 states will be plastered on billboards around the country as authorities try to catch the "Granddad Bandit," the FBI announced Monday.
The agency recently traced the string of robberies back to a 2008 holdup of a SunTrust Bank in downtown Richmond. Since then, he is believed to have robbed banks all over the eastern and central U.S.
ATLANTA - Nearing a milestone in the long and divisive Iraq war, President Barack Obama on Monday hailed this month's planned withdrawal of all U.S. combat troops - "as promised and on schedule" - as a major success despite deep doubts about the Iraqis' ability to police and govern their country.
Portraying the end of America's combat role in the 7-year war as a personal promise kept, Obama said Iraq will have 90,000 fewer U.S. troops by September than when he took office - a steady homeward flow he called "a season of homecomings." But there could still be ...
