Information Obtained by States about Applicants' Assets Varies and May Be Insufficient

What GAO Found
States reported requiring applicants to provide documentation for most of the 13 types of assets included in GAOs survey.
States varied in the extent to which they obtained information from third parties to verify applicants assets. For example, all states conducted data matches with the Social Security Administration but used other sources to a lesser extent. While states implementation of an electronic asset verification system (AVS) was required on a rolling basis beginning in 2009, no state had fully implemented an AVS at the time of GAOs survey. Among the implementation challenges reported by states were lack of resources and getting financial institutions to participate. Officials from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) were aware of states progress and challenges and told GAO that they regularly communicated with states on AVS implementation.
On the basis of states responses to questions about the extent of documentation required from applicants and information obtained from third parties, it is unclear whether some states obtain sufficient information to implement certain provisions of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA). For example, 31 states reported requiring less than 60 months of documentation from applicants and financial institutions. The results of GAOs survey raise questions about states implementation of the DRA, but are not conclusive. CMS officials said that it is reasonable for states to only conduct reviews when there is reason to believe a transfer of assets occurred. GAO has additional work planned related to Medicaid long-term care financial eligibility.
States must balance the costs of eligibility determination efforts with the need to ensure that those efforts provide sufficient information to implement federal requirements. Given the complexities involved, it may be reasonable for states to adhere to a risk-based approach and focus their eligibility determination efforts on applicants who appear to be more likely to have assets or to have transferred assets that would make them ineligible. It is too early to assess the effectiveness of the AVS; its utility will ultimately depend on the breadth of the financial institutions participating and the depth of the information obtained.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) concurred with GAOs findings and commented that GAOs comprehensive report will serve as a helpful resource for CMS and other interested parties.
Why GAO Did This Study
Medicaida joint federal-state health care financing program for certain low income individualspaid for nearly half of the nations $263 billion long-term care expenditures in 2010. To be financially eligible for Medicaid coverage for long-term care, applicants cannot have assetsincome and resourcesabove certain limits. Federal law discourages individuals from artificially impoverishing themselves in order to establish financial eligibility for Medicaid. Specifically, those who transfer assets for less than fair market value during a specified time periodor look-back periodbefore applying for Medicaid may be ineligible for coverage for longterm care for a period of time. The DRA extended the look-back period to 60 months and introduced new requirements for the treatment of certain types of assets, such as annuities, in determining eligibility. States are responsible for assessing applicants eligibility for Medicaid, the criteria for which varies by state.
GAO was asked to provide information on states requirements and practices for assessing the financial eligibility of applicants for Medicaid long-term care coverage. GAO examined the extent to which states (1) require documentation of assets from applicants, (2) obtain information from third parties to verify applicants assets, and (3) obtain information about applicants assets that could be used to implement eligibility-related DRA provisions. From October 2011 to November 2011, GAO surveyed Medicaid officials from each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. GAO also interviewed officials from CMS, the agency within HHS that oversees Medicaid.

Great Falls - The Lobby Bar
Supposedly the three floors above the old bar are home to twelve different spirits or more. Very old building. Lots of history there. Upper floors were at one time hotel then after hotel closed used for years by passing vagrants and drifters some of whom supposedly died up there. Very eerie up there. Looks like something right out of a horror movie.

Portland First US City To Divest Funds From Walmart
- Details
- Category: Jacob's Blog

- Hits: 1679
News making headlines this week from YES! Magazine - On Thursday, May 15, the city of Portland got rid of $9 million, or 25 percent, of its investments in Walmart. This marks the beginning of a divestment program that will purge Portland's investment portfolio of $36 million in Walmart bonds by 2016, according to a press release. The divestment plan is part of the city's responsible investment initiative, introduced by City Commissioner Steve Novick, and adopted in October 2013. The initiative also prohibits the city from purchasing Walmart bonds in the future.
Portland is not only discontinuing its investments in Walmart, but has set up a committee to advise it on making socially responsible investments in the future. The committee will address issues like abusive labor practices, corruption, and health concerns, among other things.
As you may recall, Filter Free Radio's Jacob Dean attended the Black Friday Walmart Protests here in Portland (2012 & 2013) where in November 2013 Portland City Commissioner Steve Novick spoke about Portland divesting from Walmart.
Here is the video recorded live by Jacob Dean 11/29/2013 at Walmart in S.E. Portland, Oregon.

First off, I've decided to be super lazy and just give you the link to a page where you can access all the rest of the assignments from my Flash class yourself. Here is the link.
Second item of business: I'll be separating my personal Flash site into two different places, one where you can check out my supersexy work (and resume, and artwork - eventually), the other where you can explore Conduit. Don't worry kiddies, Conduit will be updated as per usual.
Third item of business: I've realized that no one in the universe can leave a comment on my blog because my code is all icky. I will tackle this over the weekend, cuz I hate having icky all over my site.
In case you were unduly concerned, I've decided to sign up for Barminski's class (the mega tons o' software class), which I've taken before. Much to my amusement, he doesn't remember me at all.
Tonight I'm going to finish animating a scene. Tomorrow I'm staying home to paint backgrounds and work on my new personal site (and update Conduit). I've got a good idea of what I want on it - expect to see my zombie chica around!

Kudos to the team that came up with this cover and to Huma for making such a statement about her body image and the lack of need to confirm to social norms.
I remember an incident where people told me about a new girl at work who a lot of them admired. Agreed she had style and confidence but I wasn't as gaga over it. When asked the reason, I said that I don't admire stick thin girls. Being big and

Evolution of households' responses to the groundwater arsenic crisis in Bangladesh: information on environmental health risks can have increasing behavioral impact over time
Journal Article
A national campaign of well testing through 2003 enabled households in rural Bangladesh to switch, at least for drinking water, from high-arsenic wells to neighboring lower arsenic wells. We study the well-switching dynamics over time by re-interviewing, in 2008, a randomly selected subset of households in the Araihazar region who had been interviewed in 2005. Contrary to concerns that the impact of arsenic information on switching behavior would erode over time, we find that not only was 2003-2005 switching highly persistent but also new switching by 2008 doubled the share of households at unsafe wells who had switched. The passage of time also had a cost: 22 per cent of households did not recall test results by 2008. The loss of arsenic knowledge led to staying at unsafe wells and switching from safe wells. Our results support ongoing well testing for arsenic to reinforce this beneficial information. Copyright © Cambridge University Press 2013.

The Fall
I watched her, sitting still in the empty room, and waiting for something; a sign of recognition, perhaps, or a quick glance toward me. Something that would tell me she knows. I waited for it, watching her lips move as she spoke to some girl I no longer cared to know. She shook the hair from her eyes and I thought I saw them dart to me for a fleeting moment, what should have been the inception of an eternity.
I couldn't be sure, I could never be sure, but I like to think that the smile that slipped upon her face was for me, that she was smiling in silent encouragement.
It takes my breath away that she wields such power over me, that a fling of her hair, or a stray, momentary glance could provide the day's sustenance. I continued to watch long after the other left her alone. She had a freckle on the tip of her nose and I wondered stupidly if she knew about it. The urge to walk over and point its existence out to her was quelled — I was not yet so mad. She turned her face and my neck spun around. I inhaled deeply and, having placed my hands on my knees, I rose up, departing through the portrait of the Fat Lady: Time to go back to real life.
I walked through the corridors, side-stepping other students and keeping my head low and my eyes fixed downward. I didn't want to spoil the morning by allowing in others. I wanted to be alone with my thoughts, and I was in luck; the only class in the world, I thought, where I could be alone with my thoughts was the one in which to speak risked poisoning.
So I walked into Potions, early for the first time that year. I was one of three in the dungeon classroom; most of the others, my iron lungs too, would not be arriving for another five minutes. I sat quietly with my thoughts, trying not to think of her.
It was third year, the year of the Triwizard tournament, and my worst year so far. Christmas was approaching, and with it would come the Yule Ball, which I was anticipating with dread. I was only a third year, and therefore ineligible to go without an older student, which would have otherwise suited me fine. I didn't have much interest in attending some dance anyway. But leave it to Ron and Hermione to make an otherwise obliviable event the most important thing in the world.
They dropped the most obvious hints in the world, "Ginny still hasn't got a date, you know, Harry." I'd roll my eyes, ignoring the comment. It had become Ron and Hermione's term goal, apparently, to get me to go with Ginny to the Yule Ball. Where before they might have just dropped it after awhile, figuring it just wasn't going to happen, they now were the most insistent pair of people in the entire school.
Couples... I'd think to myself every time, desiring their damnation.
"You two would be so... erm... cute? Together..." Hermione awkwardly said once to me on the way to Defence. I just rolled my eyes, as per usual, and kept on as I was. "I've seen the way you look at her, Harry," she persisted, stopping, obliging me to as well.
Hers was an icy statement; it froze my heart a moment, an arctic shock I hadn't foreseen. Hermione offered weight to the possibility of things, validated my forbidden thoughts. Her words were spoken with greater gravity than I was accustomed to hearing from her then, in those early days, when she still was relatively woeless. Her voice was not penetrated with the expected lilt of playfulness. Though I could not look upon them, I could feel the intensity of her eyes fixed upon my face, burning into me.
"We're going to be late," I said, lusting for oblivion.
Hermione seemed unsatisfied, and two of her main principles, pursuing my own happiness and her loyalty to her schoolwork, clashed. Classwork being victor, I was in luck; her only display of discontent was a loud sigh.
And we were off again.
I had become ashamed, greatly ashamed, horrified, even, that a glimpse of her, of Ginny, was the highlight of my entire day. It was the most disgusting and pathetic thought I'd ever had. I got out of bed in the morning for her. It was pathetic! But still, every day and without relent, I sought her out the entire day, taking inconvenient routes to class, that I might pass her in the halls, that only she might smile. I was sick with lust and affection, and I hated myself for it.
My obsessive affection was nothing short of stalkerhood; mine was the kind of love that brought with it murmurs of illness. It was unhealthy, it was obsessive.
"You need to ask her, Harry."
How in Merlin's name was I supposed to ask Ginny to her dance? I could only go with someone in her year or higher; it was ridiculous. I couldn't ask her to something that wasn't for me to attend in the first place...
"I'm not going to ask her, Hermione." I felt like an old Muggle record. "It's not worth it."
"You'll never know unless you try!" she persisted.
"I already know; I don't need to try."
"Look, just drop it, Hermione! I'm not going to ask her." I'm not going to put myself through that, I'd thought to myself. Not that I'd ever speak it. Rejection was too old an acquaintance, one of my oldest friends; from any attempt amounting to affection toward the Dursleys to venturing an educated guess in class, I was affected by beaten dog syndrome; I was kicked and battered, but I always came back, hopeful that I just might get that pat on the head, that validation and acceptance. So no, I would not be asking Ginny to the dance, I would not be setting myself up for that pain again. Better to close down and ignore it all than to wage that senseless sort of savagery on myself.
"You've only got two weeks left to ask her, Harry. If you don't, you'll regret it."
Two weeks later as I sat in the common room, late at night, waiting for the upper-classmen to return from the Yule Ball, I hated myself. Ginny probably had a great time with that Corner. I didn't want to think about it. But at the same time, I knew it was hypocritical; I hated her for going with him, hated him for taking her, and I hated myself for caring, but still, I sat up in Gryffindor Tower into the early morning hours, alone, waiting for her:
I hadn't seen her that day.
Was I so desperate to have my heart broken? Was I so desperate to throw myself into the downward spiral that I knew this must lead to? I was an utter slave to all of this? I couldn't stay away. I had to stay up, I had to wait for her. I had to know that it went badly, that Corner had disappointed her.
But something in me knew; I knew that he will not have, that she will have been completely satisfied with him and their time together that night. What masochistic urge in me compelled me to wait where I would always wait, sitting in the armchair further from the door? I didn't want her to see me, to know that which shamed me, to feel it too.
Fred and George, in a moment of folly, had told me earlier in the week what kind of things went on after these dances, when the boys walked their dates back to their common rooms. They told me the kind of antics they got up to. I don't think they realised that it killed me to hear what Ginny could very well be doing with Michael Corner tonight. Or maybe they did know. Maybe they wanted to spur me into action. It didn't work.
This was my fault; all of this was on me, on my inertia. I could have prevented this, perhaps; I could have asked her, I could have thrown myself at her feet, told her everything; I could have told her that I loved her, that she was all that meant anything at all to me; I could have told her that, without her, I was nothing; that without her, I didn't want to be anything; I should have told her not to go with Michael. I should have told her to go with me. I should have...
I jerked in my seat, slave to a spasm beyond my control. I was so filled with regret, with what I should have done, with what I wanted to do. It killed me, tore to shreds my heart, to think what Ginny could be doing with him now. The dance was probably over. I wanted to find out, I wanted to know for myself. But I couldn't bring myself to get up from my seat. What if she came back? What if I missed her tonight...
Gryffindors had been streaming back into the dark common room for a few hours now; I didn't know whether or not to hope that their early arrivals were due to dates gone awry; if that was the case, Ginny should be here... I longed for her to be here.
I thought over a thousand times in my mind what I would say to her if she came in. Part of me knew I'd never say it, knew I could never say it. But, oh the longing that filled me, to say to her the words... I'd tell her how I dreamt of her, how I was every night filled with such pain to find that my dreams of her and I together were just dreams; I would explain to her the ache that filled my heart to know that she did not feel for me as I did for her. I would explain to her that she was all I ever wanted, all I ever needed; I would tell her, I would tell her that I lived and breathed for her... That I loved her.
The flutterings in my belly of feeling were quashed quickly. These were words I would never say, words that I was not bold enough to express. How could I verbalise them? 'I'm so in love with you...'? It sounded awful even in my head. In this, I had no one to turn to. I had cast Ron and Hermione away hours and hours ago. I didn't want them here; I didn't want them watching the madness that Ginny could cause in me.
She never even knew any of this! She must have had no idea of the love that consumed me! Everything, every last moment I'd dreamt of her, had been of my own imagining! The glances I thought furtive, the smiles I thought for me... A thousand different explanations could invalidate them. The smile wasn't for me, she'd thought of something funny. The glance hadn't been cast my way intentionally, it had been by chance. She hadn't even noticed me there!
Was I so pathetic? Was I so broken? How could I allow myself to be reduced to this? To this rambling, lovesick mess? It was disastrous, the effect she had on me. She slew me without ever knowing, without ever caring. But how could I ever have expected her to care? How could I ever have expected her to reciprocate that which I felt? I was so inferior.
I could never be deservant of her, and I knew it. I was totally and acutely aware of this irrevocable fact, that I would never be worthy, that I never had been worthy. It was only in my dreams that I would allow myself to think of her and me together, sharing a secret kiss underneath the skies, loving life and each other. I was in love with the very idea of her... perhaps the ideal of her.
The portrait door opened; the corridor's candle-light illuminated everything briefly: The fire in the hearth had long since gone out. This was not the first time the door had opened, and it couldn't have been the last; maybe as much as half the house hadn't yet returned.
I hated the hope that rose in my chest as my neck craned upward, trying to discern if she had come back. Did I want her to return in tears? That I might comfort her? It was despicable, the thoughts that plagued me, the horrible things that filled my mind. I was actively wishing distress and despair upon her.
When I caught sight of the entering figure's brown hair, I felt the hope collapse in my chest; I sunk back into my chair: It wasn't her.
With this realisation, a familiar thought filled my head; it had been a frequent visitor to my thoughts these last weeks. In me filled a hate for love and everything it entailed. I hated that the love which I so frequently saw others enjoy eluded me so entirely, that I had no one to love, no one to hold into the night. The others in my dormitory, they spoke of the bestial side of relationships, of the passionate and torrid. They disgusted me with their ideals. And I hated myself for contributing to it, hated the side of me that could even stand to engage in that infernal exchange.
I had no use for the sexual things they spoke of. That's not what I wanted. I wanted someone to love, and to be loved by, not to use and abuse for fleeting physical pleasures; I wanted someone who would hold me while I broke down, while I fell apart. I wanted someone who would make it all right for me to fall apart, because as long as we had each other, nothing else mattered. I wanted to be able to forget the world, to absorb my existence into my love's, to disappear into her. I wanted...
I wanted something that probably wasn't real. I wanted something unattainable. And maybe that's why it was fitting that I want Ginny, someone unattainable, someone so far beyond me. Maybe I wanted something forever gone, something that I could always want. Maybe I wanted to dream. Maybe it was the unwillingness to allow reality to destroy my dreams that stopped me from ever telling Ginny how I felt.
However it was, I was a coward. I was crippled and tragically inert; I was complacent and self-condemning; I perpetuated my pain... and for what? For a dream that made me ache in the night? For a hate of reality and a scorn for love? I wanted it! I needed it! Love! The one thing of which I have never been worthy, the one thing I have never properly felt! It was what I needed! Couldn't anyone else see, that this was all that mattered? Couldn't they perceive everything else's relative triviality?
I could have shouted it from the rooftops at that moment, could have screamed it into the night, my love for her. If she had come in at that instant, Michael Corner or no Michael Corner, I would have told her everything; I would have told her of the intensity of my feelings for her. I would have stopped the world for her in that instant.
The door slammed open, smacking against the wall. I jumped out of my seat, I felt my legs readying to run: It was her, it was Ginny. I could see her red hair, backing into the common room and – my heart shattered. She was attached to him, to Michael Corner; she was kissing him, running her hands through his hair, passionately, lustfully...
I felt the ice in my heart, I felt my face and lips go numb. I felt myself breaking to pieces, falling apart where I stood, ready to run as swiftly as I could. I'd lost my breath, lost my warmth; ice coursed my veins, consumed me.
They backed further into the common room, scrambling in the dark, Ginny moving backwards and Corner running his hands up and down her back. They were — They were — they were moaning. Ginny stumbled back-first over a couch, falling on it, Corner atop her.
I was still standing, reeling from everything, from the weight of it all. I would liked to have died then, would liked to have never known Ginny Weasley, would died to never have known the name. I was so filled with disgust and hatred, internal and external... The depth of my emotions overwhelmed me; I'd never known I could be so hurt, be so broken in so few seconds; I never dreamed I would fall so quickly from the zenith to the deepest depths of despair.
He was — he was kissing her neck, he was... Tears began to fall down my face... furious, bitter tears; this was my end, in every intangible way. I walked forward, aimless, despairing, weeping. I walked by the entangled pair, and Ginny... She saw me. She called out to me, ceasing her and Michael's actions. I heard her call out to me, heard her calling my name. But how could I stop? How could I turn around and smile? How could I tell her it was okay, that I was okay? I had no smiles left in me, I had no false, reassuring words. I had only what was given to me when she and Michael entered through that door. I had nothing left but pain; no faith, no hope.
I heard her scramble to her feet, I heard Michael's protests. Ginny railed into me from behind, she knocked me to my knees; I felt myself falling; I let myself go. Self-preservation seemed so foreign to me; I had no will to keep myself from falling. At that moment, I couldn't understand how anyone could feel that will; I couldn't understand why they wouldn't want to fall. What was the worst that could have happened? I might have bled? Been bruised? I had nothing in me to fight it. Not even a tendril of any such emotion was left in my now-barren, soulless corpse.
She pulled me from my knees, looked me in the eyes. She looked so angry. She was yelling at me, yelling something about passing up the opportunity, yelling about missing my chance, yelling... It was all so muted now, like murmured words spoken from a distance; her shouts just added to the swirl of sound in my head; I didn't really understand her words until she forced me to look at her properly, something I hadn't been able to manage during her salvo.
And then I knew. I knew from the look in her eyes that it was too late; that I'd had a chance, that she would have gone with me, that she would have accepted, but that now it was too late... I understood, saw it in her eyes. There was something else in her eyes... there was apology on her lips...
I mumbled my word, not really understanding it either, "...Don't."
I turned again, away from her and her eyes, and, my heart shattered by the realities of my inertia, walked out of the common room, completely unconcerned with Filch and Mrs. Norris, Snape and any other patrolling professors. None of that mattered anymore. Not to me. Nothing mattered. It seemed so absurd, the very notion of caring about something like that; I felt such longing for the worries of others; I wanted to worry about my marks in Transfiguration, not the pain that consumed me more completely than the fires of hell one day would.
I was so numb, so overcome with sorrow and the aching pain of regret and bygone opportunity...; distraught, I wandered and wandered the castle, disintegrating with each step and passing thought.
As I walked those blocks of corridor, I was acutely aware that I wasn't coming back from this. I knew that I was breaking to pieces, that I was spiralling; and all the while, these thoughts still swirled in my head...
I was... I am falling: I mustn't be caught; I don't think I could bear it.

I'm looking into buying an external hard drive to save all my photos on to as I'm tired of the CD/DVD thing.
Any suggestions?

I had a external drive fail before what are you going to do with the hard drive once you fill it up.

Also have a couple of Western Digital USB hard drives that are about the size of a cigarrette pack and 250 Gig each. Picked them up at WalMart for $85 Cdn each.
|Quoting Ryan h (Reply 9):
I would also suggest getting a drive with a power switch so the drive can be turned off when not being used, otherwise the drive will be spinning all the time and possibly fail sooner than it should.

Tonight, when you're watching the game, check out what the Atlanta Falcons do with their personnel that allows them to create mismatches with the defense.
In this EA animation of a play from the Denver game, the Falcons call in "regular" or 21 personnel – 2 RB's (one is a traditional FB), 2 WR's and a TE. Denver keeps their base 3-4 defense on the field with the safeties in a two-high look. But then Atlanta goes "empty" in the backfield, forcing the LB's into coverage and creating mismatches for a Denver D that can't get into their nickel package.
The result of this play is a 49-yard pass to RB Tevin Coleman, but the play design is brilliant and offers about ten different answers for QB Matt Ryan.
Check out the video and see how I break down the play step-by-step.Add to My RFN

Baby Birdorable: Blackbird
If you think our Birdorable birds are cute as adults, what about when they are babies? Below are some baby photos (shared via Flickr) of the Blackbird. Common Blackbirds live throughout Europe ... more
The Blackbird is a thrush that lives in Europe, Asia and North Africa. It has also been introduced to Australia and New Zealand. Males are all black with yellow bills, while females and young are mostly brown. The Blackbird is a common backyard bird in Europe and has a melodious song. Depending on latitude, the Blackbird may be resident, partially migratory or fully migratory.
Both sexes are territorial on the breeding grounds, with distinctive threat displays, but are more gregarious during migration and in wintering areas. Pairs will stay in their territory throughout the year where the climate is sufficiently temperate.

The island of Rhodes suffered long-term damage to its "family friendly" image that took years to repair. Before the series was broadcast in 2001 Rhodes attracted about 300,000 British visitors a year. Ten years on and the numbers have still not recovered, standing at 267,000 in 2010.
But the "Faliraki factor" is finally being consigned to history. Numbers are well up this year and just as Magaluf has little to do with the Majorca of Deia and Soller, so Faliraki - a smudge of noise and concrete on the east coast - can be easily bypassed while exploring Greece's fourth biggest island.
The great attraction of Rhodes is its rich layers of history. At the northern tip of the island, walled Rhodes Old Town, a UNESCO world heritage site, is a stunning melange of influences, from Byzantium, via the Knights Hospitallers of St John, to the Ottoman empire. The minaret of the Suleiman mosque and the working hammam at the Mustafa Pasha baths lend an exotic "edge of continent" feel rarely found in Europe.
The Old Town - which reminded me of a dusty, Mediterranean version of St Malo - is rambling territory where it is wonderfully easy to get lost. Avoid the shops on the heaving main drags such as Sokratous Street. Sponges, the main tourist speciality of Rhodes, can be bought much more cheaply elsewhere.
And at all costs stay out of the tourist tavernas. The chances are you will be ripped off and eat poorly.
In fact, I might suggest eat nothing except perhaps an ice cream, until you track down one of the hidden gems of Rhodes and the only place you should sit down to dine in the Old Town.
Finding Marco Polo Mansion Hotel, buried deep in the Turkish quarter, is half the fun, and I'm not going to give any clues. Enter this former residence of a senior Ottoman official and you find yourself in a cool leafy courtyard that could be Marrakech or Fez.
The menu is the perfect antidote to sceptics who fear they will have to live off the M&S (moussaka and souvlaki) diet in Greece. Owner Spiros Dede recites with passion a menu made up of dishes such as fava beans with caramelised onions and squid and cuttlefish salad with parmesan shavings as if they were the names of past lovers.
There are numerous island-hopping opportunities from Rhodes to the smaller rocks of the Dodecanese. If you have to choose one, go for Symi, two hours away by slow ferry. The boat hugs the Turkish coast on the exposed side of Rhodes. Symi's main port, Yialos, is one of the most stunning seaward approaches in the Mediterranean - against strong competition.
From a distance the whole town, which wraps itself around the end of a fjord-like inlet, appears to be made of kids' building bricks. The houses are in fact, perfect neo-classic mini-mansions that are a testament to the financial muscle of the humble sponge. The best sponges in the known universe, it seems, once came from Symi, and the island grew wealthy on the proceeds. The sponge scene has long since moved on - largely wiped out by blight a century ago - but the buildings remain.
It is a paradisical spot. If you are on a day trip, have a drink in one of the waterfront bars, then head for the Italian-run Aliki restaurant on the far side of the harbour. This is not a cheap spot (oh, please, euro bosses, when can we have the drachma back?) but for a leisurely blowout is just about perfect.
Back on Rhodes, outside the Old Town, the biggest draw lies 35 miles south at Lindos, a tumble of classic "sugar cube" whitewashed houses below an austere hilltop acropolis.
It is an hour's drive on Rhodes' main north-south road, which starts as a motorway through the capital's spectacularly fly-blown suburbs and quickly degenerates into roadworks that have to be navigated with care at night.
Lindos used to have a reputation as a hippy haunt. Pink Floyd have been visiting since the Seventies and Dave Gilmour still has a house here.
Inevitably the days of innocence have long gone, although the narrow lanes, cobbled entirely with black and white pebbles arranged in mosaics, retain their charm. Rhodes old hands say Lindos should only be visited in the shoulder seasons. Its location in a natural bowl means it becomes a breeze-free cauldron in high summer.
On the way back from Lindos we passed the turning to Faliraki, with its advertisements for sausage sandwiches and pounding nightclubs. But Rhodes' days as a cheap and cheerful "charter only" sunshine destination are over. There are five direct scheduled flights a week from London, with Ryanair having joined easyJet on the route in April.
The big international hotel chains are also moving in. Sheraton opened their first in Greece a few miles south of the Old Town this spring.
We stayed there and although it may not be the prettiest hotel in Greece - it's a hillside concrete slab originally built in the early Nineties - its stylishly cavernous interiors and perfect location on the more favoured west coast of Rhodes (you get breeze and sunset) more than make up for that.
There is a tunnel under the coastal road to a private beach - the only one with a Blue Flag in the area - and immaculately tended gardens with rows of giant agapanthus (already out in May) and vast foaming tunnels of purple bougainvillea.
Daily organised activities, ranging from ping pong to volleyball (and I can reveal that I left the Sheraton Rhodes Resort as unbeaten reigning darts champion), kept the kids amused, while the highlight of the evening entertainment was an Abba tribute band by the pool -cheesy, perhaps, but great fun.
Stretched out on a poolside Dedon wicker bed watching a sun the colour of Turkish delight subside over Symi to the west, it was hard not to forgive Rhodes the sins of its recent past.

The modern era Giant fans are still basking in the glory of the franchise's last two Super Bowl victories that occurred when Big Blue defeated the New England Patriots on two separate occasions to hoist the Lombardi trophy. While both of those teams will live in eternity in the eyes of the G-men faithful there is one major challenge those two teams and the 2016 edition of the Giants must overcome. The challenge that the 2016 edition of the Giants, similar to the 2007 and 2011 Giants, need to overcome is winning multiple games on the road.
In 2007 the Giants won three games on the road first against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, then at the Dallas Cowboys, and follow that with a victory at Green Bay. The 2011 G-men had a home victory against the Atlanta Falcons before traveling to Green Bay for a road win followed by a win at San Francisco. And the way it stands now the Giants must win on the road first to clinch a playoff spot and then to reach another Super Bowl.
The Giants culminated their home schedule with a 17-6 victory over the Detroit Lions and have secured at least a 10-6 record but at have not clinched a playoff spot. Big Blue ends their 2016 campaign on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles and then at the Washington Redskins. If the Giants win either of these games they will secure that playoff spot that has eluded Eli Manning and company since 2011.
And if the Giants secure a playoff spot the G-men will be most likely be traveling all throughout the playoffs. The reason for this is the Dallas Cowboys will most likely win the NFC East crown and with that division title will obtain a bye and a playoff home game. Even though the Giants could have a better record than the other three divisional champions Big Blue would have to go on the road to play in the wildcard round. The reason for this is because the division winners get the home playoff game not the team with the best record.
While winning a road playoff game is a daunting task in the NFL winning three road games away from the friendly confines is a gigantic challenge. Many teams will wilt under the pressure that comes with NFL playoff games and be victimized by the loud and intense crowds. Yet, if the Giants need inspiration to find a way to win consecutive road games to make it to the Super Bowl they can just look at what the franchise accomplished in 2007 and 2011.

Kate Winslet is clearly revelling in her favourite role - motherhood.
Six days after the birth of son Joe, she took him for his first family outing in New York.
The star walked hand in hand with her husband, film director Sam Mendes, with daughter Mia perched on her shoulders for the five-minute stroll.
Little Joe remained resolutely asleep, protected against the bitter cold in his blue pram, for the brief jaunt.
Three-year-old Mia, Miss Winslet's child by ex-husband Jim Threapleton, giggled as they walked around the block in Manhattan's exclusive Chelsea neighbourhood.
The couple, who spent Christmas at a £1.5million rented townhouse while Mendes makes a movie in New York, are due to be joined by Miss Winslet's parents Sally, 58, and Roger, 63.
The pair, both actors themselves, are due to fly in any day now to see the latest addition to their family.
Earlier, Miss Winslet cuddled Mia as she spoke about her joy of the new arrival following Joe's birth at 8.30pm on Monday, December 22.
The 28-year-old star asked her daughter: 'What did we just have?' and the proud youngster replied: 'A baby boy.'
Miss Winslet added: 'We have had a little baby boy. His name is Joe Mendes. It was a natural birth in hospital and everything went well. He was actually a few days late. Everyone is doing great.'Reuse content

Spider-Man: The New Animated Series
So what so special about this Spider-man series?
1. The show was made using CGI rendered in cell shading and the drawings were good looking.
2. The writer did a good job to make the story relevant to teens and not so kiddish. It explored the good terms and supportive friendship between Osborn and Mary Jane. At the end of the episodes, you will love all 3 of them.
3. The soundtrack and background music bring new life to the animation, some of which are very classy at certain scenes. Maybe MTV have something to do with that.
4. Besides music, MTV also found some famous celebrities for the voicing in every episode. That really stood out. You may read more here.
For me this is the BEST Spider-man series I came across so far. You have to see it for yourself and you can! View it here or you may want to get the DVD which was out 4 years ago?
Unfortunately, there is only one season with 13 episodes and the ending was not a happy one. How I wish there is a season 2, MTV...
Anyone watch this before or am I the only one here?

The Student Experience
At Newspace, our goal is to provide the very best in photographic education. With state-of-the-art facilities and instructors who are at the top of their fields nationally and internationally, Newspace is equipped to help you take your photography to the next level. Our diverse curriculum includes beginning to advanced classes on a wide variety of topics. Small class sizes give students more attention and hands-on time than traditional schools. From location lighting to digital image editing, alternative darkroom processes to portraiture, landscape, and business development classes, Newspace is Oregon's premier photography education center.
Newspace is also an artist-run photography center. That means we're passionate about photography! We're also passionate about helping you become a better photographer. Let us know if you have questions about how we can help you reach your goals.
What participants are saying:
It may sound like an overstatement, but I mean it most ardently when I say that my classes at Newspace have completely changed my life. They have restored my original passion for the Arts. Through my classes at Newspace, I regained confidence in my artistic abilities. I also learned critical technical skills that I could not have otherwise acquired–such as studio lighting, HD-DSLR videography, Photoshop, and even learning how to (properly) use my DSLR camera–in such a supportive community, and at such an affordable price. – JJ Hastings
I value the community of photo-loving folks I meet at Newspace – such a mixture of people who produce such entirely different kinds of images. Being surrounded by so much variety dramatically helps in the learning process, and I appreciate the easy accessibility of the quality equipment you make available to learn and create with. – Wendy Shoemaker
Newspace is a tremendous resource for photographers. I view it as a centerpiece for photography in Portland – in that it is a place to learn, discuss, explore and grow as a photographer. How I went as long as I did without knowing about it is baffling and upsetting. – Jonathan Eadie
I love Newspace! I come here to take classes, workshops, get inspired, and to feel like I am a part of the photographic community in Portland. It has been a wonderful place to get to be a part of. Thank you so much! – Leigh Oviatt
So, as I am sitting here writing this, my partner and my friend are telling me that I am a "photographer," along with all the reasons why. That is not a title I truly considered owning until now. I thank my many experiences at Newspace for helping me to embrace this new creative part of my existence. – Wendy Shoemaker
I've taken classes at Newspace that have completely enhanced my work in ways I would not have fathomed. I took a methods class that gave me new perspectives and direction as to what my strengths were which has given me the confidence to keep doing photography and to focus on what moves me in photography. The darkroom class gave me control over making my prints look the way I see fit to get my message or mood across. It was empowering to be able to have control over the entire process from taking photo to mastering a print. – Alisyn Smith
The classes have really helped me get out of the "normal" way to photograph and really look into the artistic way. My dream of starting a successful photography business is definitely more attainable now. The classes I have taken have not only helped me better my photography, computer and camera knowledge but also given me great contacts / friends. I would recommend any friends or fellow photographers to take classes at Newspace. – Heather Fitch
Mary Ellen Mark Workshop Group Shot
I love Newspace. It is an amazing resource for lovers of photography! I feel really lucky that it is here in Portland. I also love that it brings photographers together. I have met good friends working in the darkroom at Newspace and have had amazing experiences. – Kirsten Frances
Newspace truly is an amazing institute. It has everything for everyone. From beginners who really just want to understand there camera, parents who just want to take better, more memorable photos of their children, or people like myself who have a true passion for it and want to be able to share that passion with others making it into their profession. – Heather Fitch
I love Newspace and all the teachers and people involved at Newspace! Everyone is so supportive and I have met a great community there and would love to continue to take classes there! – Maya Raven Skye

Stom66.com RelaunchedPosted by webmaster on 2007-08-15 20:44:22 in Stom66 Announcements
After a long time in the pipeline, the new version of Stom66.com has made its online debut. I'm still configuring the new site and adding content, but expect to see it expanding over the coming weeks.
It uses a content management system, CMS Made Simple(external link), which makes updating and managing the site more straightforward with the added bonus of all being done via a web-interface. No excuses for me not to update the site even when i'm on the move.
I hope to use the site to promote my webdesign business, and as a place to jot down the findings of someone in the computer business. Tips on Windows, general computer maintanence and the technological world can be expected, along with the odd red-herring.
Welcome to the new Stom66.com

Question about 2001 Daewoo Nubira
Posted by gbel5451 on
I don' mean to insult you, but have you changed the battery lately?
As suggested above, change the battery. Then, open the car with the key, turn the ignition all the way to ON (all lights on the dashboard showing), and back to OFF. Now press either of the buttons on your remote, and keep it depressed until the hazards flash. That should cure the problem.

Players Work Hard For Arkansas Game
"It was heads up," he said, slipping the coin into his pocket. "That's supposed to mean good luck, isn't it?"
A lucky penny would rank way down in importance as Nick Saban prepares his Alabama football team for its first Southeastern Conference game of the year. Bama will go to Arkansas to meet the Razorbacks at 11:30 a.m. CDT Saturday, a game that will be telecast on the SEC's Raycom network.
Alabama, 3-0, is ranked ninth in the nation. Arkansas, 2-0, did not play last week; its game at Texas was postponed due to Hurricane Ike. The Razorbacks have narrow home wins against Western Illinois and Louisiana-Monroe.
Saban said that Alabama practices have gone well this week. He said, "We've made some progress. The players are working hard."
The coach said it is "very challenging for us to go on the road and play our first SEC game. It's similar to last year when we went to Vanderbilt."
He said Arkansas is "very good."
Saban said that Razorback Stadium will be a "difficult environment," and said it will be important that his players "focus on the game and not get affected by external factors, the noise the crowd or the circumstances in the game and focus on the next play."
He used as an example the play of former basketball great Michael Jordan, who was always able to focus on the moment in games and was never distracted by surroundings or situations.
"If you're going to be a good team, you have to have that kind of mindset, especially in this league," Saban said.
On the injury front, Alabama looks to be in excellent shape. Saban said that senior right guard Marlon Davis has practiced this week and is expected to be available Saturday. Davis missed last week's game after suffering a hamstring injury against Tulane in the second game of the year. Saban said there were no other injury issues.
Besides the penny, Saban found himself looking at a lot of videotape in preparation for Arkansas. The new coach of the Razorbacks, Bobby Petrino, went to Arkansas from Atlanta of the NFL. Prior to that he was head coach at Louisville.
Saban and his staff have looked at tapes from Petrino's days at all three spots. "I don't know how we got them," Saban said, "but we did."
He said that what Arkansas is doing now is similar offensively to what Louisville and Atlanta did under Petrino. "Teams have different strengths in personnel and he features those strengths very well," Saban said.
Saban participated in the SEC Head Coaches weekly teleconference on Wednesday and here are some of his comments from that call:
On difference in Arkansas Coach Bobby Petrino's offense, particularly passing game, as other SEC teams:
"It's different in some ways, but it's a quality passing game. It's very well thought out. It's very sound, in terms of how they protect the quarterback, how the quarterback re-directs the protections, the routes they run and how they utilize their personnel. It's similar to what he did at Louisville and he also did a lot of the same concepts at Atlanta. He is an outstanding offensive coach. His brother, Paul, is an outstanding coach as well. He does a great job with the quarterback, in terms of coaching. A guy doing the right things, and they are certainly playing well offensively right now throwing for over 300 yards a game and one of the nationally-ranked teams offensively."
On Antoine Caldwell:
"He has played very well. He played very well in last week's game, especially. His leadership is critical. I think that is one of the biggest differences in our team is guys like Antoine Caldwell and Rashad Johnson and some of the other players are starting to emerge as leaders and affect other people in a positive way. I don't think there is anything more critical to team chemistry than that."
On strength of SEC with five teams in this week's Associated Press Top 10:
"I think it's an outstanding league, and I think there are a lot of reasons for it. There is a lot of passion and tradition at the schools. There are a lot of good high school football prospects in the southeast, which is certainly an advantage in terms of quality of players. I think the coaches in the SEC right now are as strong as they've ever been, in terms of knowledge, experience and track records. Those guys all know how to recruit and have a reputation for getting good players. I just think there are a lot of reasons for it, but it is very strong right now from top to bottom. I think that is good for the competition in the league and you better bring you're A-game every week, that's all I can tell you."
On number of first-year players on your team and how you will handle first road game:
"Well I think, hopefully our game in Atlanta, which was not truly a road game, it was half of a road game and it certainly gave some of those guys experience of what it's like to play away from home, even though it might not be considered a total road game. I think the biggest thing with young players is that if they can stay focused on that task and don't get affected by external factors, which when you play on the road, the crowd and the momentum of the game can affect guys and that the thing we try to teach them. They have to stay focused on the next play and do their job and affect the game with what they can control, which is how they play. None of that other stuff really matters. You preach that, but sometimes guys have to experience it actually and hopefully their experience in Atlanta will help a little bit in this game."

Corned Beef - Tender and Delicious
Recipe by Suze K
Over the years, I developed this corned beef recipe for sandwiches. If I'm making it for a party, I make 3-4 briskets because it's always the first thing to go. Don't be afraid of the amount of garlic--no one has ever complained that it's too garlicky. It can also be used to make the traditional corned beef & cabbage meal by removing the beef once it's fully cooked and adding cabbage, carrots, potatoes, etc. to the cooking liquid--only adds about 30 more minutes to the cooking time.
Top Review by Fuzzys Finds
This is a flawless corned beef recipe... I found it first on allrecipes.com and was searching to see if anyone had posted it here. It's here, so I don't have to post it... but I had to have it on file for my husband. He just used his lunch hour to go to the grocery store... he bought a brisket and dropped it by the house, begging for this for dinner tonight. Putting it in the crockpot now! I've seen Guiness draught recommended as the beer, but we use whatever's in the house that he doesn't particularly value.
See Discussion:2 Reviews
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 (3 lb) corned beef brisket
- 2 (12 ounce) bottles beer
- 1 head garlic clove, peeled
- 1⁄4 cup peppercorn
- 3 -4 bay leaves
Directions See How It's Made
- Remove briskets from wrapping and place in large pot or crockpot. Rinse if you don't like the brine coating.
- Add contents of 1 spice packet (discard 2nd spice packet or reserve for other use), the beer, peppercorns and bay leaves.
- Break garlic head apart and peel each clove. Add entire head to the pot.
- Add enough water to cover the meat by 1 inch. NOTE: the briskets will float, so I put a heavy heat-resistant plate or bowl on top to keep them submerged.
- STOVETOP: Turn heat to high and bring contents to a boil. Turn heat to a low simmer; cover and cook for 6 hours or more.
- CROCKPOT: Set on high cover; cook for 8-10 hours.
- When done, using 2 large spoons or spatulas, carefully remove briskets to serving platter and let rest. The meat will be extremely tender, and will easily break apart if you use a meat fork.
- If using for sandwiches, tightly wrap each brisket in plastic and refrigerate for 1-2 hours before slicing. If you want to shred the meat, there is no need to refrigerate--just cut in thick slices and shred each slice.
- If serving as corned beef & cabbage, once meat is removed, transfer cooking liquid to large pot (if using crockpot), bring cooking liquid to boil and add vegetables. Cover and cook 30 minutes.

System Monitor
Developer: Marcel Bresink Software-Systeme
Current Version: 1.71
Last Updated: 3 months ago
Download Size: 3.3 MB - Download
System Monitor is an application for the menu bar of your Mac, designed to inform you unobtrusively about the activity of your computer. You can retrieve up-to-date technical data any time, like process load, CPU temperature, main memory consumption, storage space, disk activity, communication on network interfaces, etc. By positioning the app in the menu bar, as least screen real estate as possible will be wasted. The program monitors your system continuously and is readily available when you need it.
You can easily configure the App to automatically stay in the menu bar of your user account. No "login item" is required, so there are no annoying windows or Dock icons when you log in.
If desired, System Monitor can also simulate the flickering activity lights of hard drives or network sockets in the menu bar. This is possible either in color or —perfectly integrated into the design of the operating system— in inconspicuous black-and-white. PC switchers who miss this feature on Macintosh computers can easily retrofit this function with System Monitor.
Release Notes:
Corrected a problem with the feature to take over settings from the Trial version where the data transfer could run more than once under specific circumstances.
Most Helpful Reviews
Gorgeous, clean, simple interface - Everything is right there at a glance. I like the style of everything being monochrome and not attention grabbing. It displays useful info and is as customizable as needed.
More Reviews for Current Version
A must-have for Mac techs - Even if you aren't a Mac tech, you should install this app, you'll learn a lot about what's going on in the background. Or, to put it another way, this app should be renamed "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Your Mac…..But Were Afraid to Ask."
Like all of Marcel's software, this is a must have - Long time user of Dr. Bresink's apps, which are treasures uknown to many Mac users (TinkerTool—which is free, and TinkerTook System). Dr. Bresink has an astute knowledge of inner workings of Apple OS and it really comes across in all his software. This app covers anything and everything you would want monitor. The display options are thoroughly customizable. You can pick some or all of the functions to be displayed, with great variablity. With all the monitors selected and running, it uses only 35 to 38 MB of memory! Love it!

Phonological Assimilation in Urban Jordanian Arabic

MetadataShow full item record
This study reports patterns of phonological assimilation in consonant clusters in Urban Jordanian Arabic (UJA). We examine all possible C1C2 combinations across a word boundary as well as the concatenations of consonant-final prefixes //in/ and //il/ and consonant-initial stems. The data show that place assimilation in UJA is regressive, and it can occur both across major articulators and within the same articulator (for coronals). UJA also exhibits voicing assimilation and emphasis assimilation. The main theoretical interest of the work lies in the observation that phonological assimilation in UJA is sometimes conditioned by the similarity between the two adjacent consonants. This is reflected in three patterns of assimilation. First, coronal consonants with a minor place difference (e.g., alveolar vs. palatoalveolar) may assimilate to each other only if the sonorancy of the consonants already matches. Second, coronal obstruents may undergo place assimilation when followed by a coronal obstruent, but not a velar obstruent. Third, voicing and emphasis assimilations occur only if the places of the adjacent consonants are identical underlyingly or as a result of place assimilation. These results are discussed briefly in the light of recent works by MacEachern (1999), Hansson (2001), Zuraw (2002), Rose and Walker (2004), and Steriade (to appear). The UJA place assimilation patterns are also compared to the implicational hierarchies established by Mohanan (1993)'s and Jun (1995)'s crosslinguistic typologies.

This is my website about German Military History which has a focus on World War Two History and my American-German(Deutsch) Heritage from when my family served in the World Wars on the 'other' side. We are proud Americans with a German past. Proud of the Fatherland- Deutschland!
While this is my endeavor, I do have other researchers who form my team. They are educated in military history and/or German history. They supply me with additional research and photos. We are from the United States and from Germany. In the future, we would like to expand into a larger purpose such as a museum or research foundation.
We use the photos to tell the history with brief descriptions while some will have more information.
Our pages will show MANY PHOTOS of one subject type. We are not glorifying the past by presenting more than one image of such controversial subjects such as Adolf Hitler, Nazi Logos, SS, or other subjects, BUT are showing the many images of each subject.
The main purpose is for enjoyment of History and Educational purposes Only.
This Website Honors All German Soldiers. – " No Matter What has been Done in the Past or Present, We Honor the German Soldier with His Sacrifice and Dedication to Fatherland! "

I don't really do blogs much, so here is my foirst stab at it. lol
I promise I will get better as time goes on.
We are presently working on the mixing and mastering the next Audio Porn album at Ridgeline Audio in Ashland Kentucky. The record is coming along really well, and I can't wait to have it done and out for everyone to hear. Jeff is at the helm, and he is doing an absolutely awesome job.
With Black Sun, the album is done and we are preparing to shoot a video for our first single. More details will be forthcoming as the shoot date gets nearer.
I am very pleased to have Bedtime Stories for Naughty Children available worldwide now on amazon. More distribution is in the works, so keep checking in if you are interested in picking it up in a store instead of online.
For those people that do buy it online and would like it signed, send me the book with a stamped return envelope and I will sign it and send it back to you.

While looking through Pinterest I saw this darling clock that said "On beach time" the clock didn't have any hands on it and it would be the perfect addition to my beach themed porch! Then as I backed out of my drive way that same day, I noticed the Round monogramed sign hanging on my door! It was like fireworks went off!!! There was nothing on the backside of my round monogramed initial! The next day, I called Avry told her to come over and bring her round board. We painted them a blue color and white washed over top of it. We sanded the edges after it was dry. Next I cut the clock number and Beach time out of white vinyl, using my personal cutting machine. We applied the vinyl numbers and saying on to the round board and modge podged over top of them. Last we used a small round disc that we glued in the center of the board as if the clock is missing it's hands. Who cares what time it is when you're enjoying the beach??? I love that this craft ended up being a 2 for 1 deal! I love making crafts and displaying them but sometimes storing them takes up so much space!

Guitarmaker Issue 5—Letters
Cathy Currier
"My thoughts about Symposium 89 (for those who weren't there). Symposium 89 was not just an event for luthiers to meet each other and show off their instruments. It was a gathering of luthiers and repair people to share experiences, knowledge, music, and a love of their trade. I had a chance to meet and listen to people who are some of the best in the business. This was one of the most informative and stimulating events, concerning my career, I've ever attended.
"Before next Symposium, every acquaintance I know that is a builder or repairer of musical instruments, will know what ASIA. is, and what they can gain and give by being a member. Thanks to all for a fabulous Symposium 89."
Ralph Novak
Ralph Novak of San Leandro, CA has developed a new patented design (U.S. PAT #4,852,450) for fingerboards. Some may have read about his design in Guitar Player Magazine/October 1989. Ralph's idea allows for a different scale length for each string. To accomplish this, he slots his fingerboards so that the frets are no longer parallel, rather radially aimed at a point that seems to be projected several feet off of the treble side of the neck. This makes the bass strings about an inch longer in scale length than the treble strings, requiring a more severely angled saddle on an acoustic guitar or highly staggered compensation ability on an electric guitar.
Currently Ralph is building guitars and basses that incorporate his idea. His idea seems to be receiving some attention with some professional musicians. Ralph explains in the Guitar Player article that:
"Shorter scale instruments such as the Fender Mustang or Gibson SG, are favored for ease of bending treble strings. They also have sweeter trebles because of pronounced midrange harmonic sustain. However, those guitars suffer poor bass string definition, difficult tuning, and lack of articulation. On the other hand, longer scale guitars such as the Fender Stratocaster, offer crisp bass string response, more accurate intonation, and good definition, but the treble strings lack midrange harmonic sustain. They sound percussive and thin, feel stiff when bending, and are more prone to string breakage due to higher tension."
Ralph is seeking a licensing agreement with a large scaled manufacturer, believing that the concept has much greater potential that one luthier can address.
Jeff Jewitt
Jeff informed us of his participation in the 1st Annual Guitar Trade Show in Cleveland, Ohio held on October 22nd, 1989. Perhaps we can coax Jeff into writing a follow-up about the show. Jeff also has requested help or ideas as to how he can market his repair business and his line of handmade guitars.
In response to Jeff's request, an article written by Ken Donnell that touches on several elements of Jeff's request, has been retrieved from the ASIA files and printed in the article section of this issue.
Mario Baldoni
ASIA has received word from Mario Baldoni about George Manno. Many of you know about George through his many contributions to the String Instrument Craftsman and other publications, in addition to his extensive violin and stringed instrument experience. George had quite a bad accident last March that left him in pretty bad shape. He will be a long time in recovering, and apparently some of the damage will be permanent. It would be nice for those of you who know George, to drop him a line (address witheld from Web).
