1 Mayer Carl von Rothschild: collector or patriot? Philippa Glanville explores the relationship between politics and art in one of the great Rothschild collections Mayer Carl von Rothschild ( ) 36 A rococo gold-mounted jug in Lisbon, a massive Neo-Gothic horn in London, a silver plaque chased with Christ s Baptism at the V&A, a double cup by Hans Petzolt, a towering Renaissance centrepiece in Amsterdam: all are striking examples of Continental goldsmiths work, linked today by their 19 th -century owner. Mayer Carl von Rothschild, or Charles as his English relatives called him, was born in 1820, the eldest son of another Charles, Carl Mayer ( ), the fourth of the Five Arrows, the five sons of Mayer Amschel of Frankfurt. His mother was Adelheid Herz, daughter of a Hamburg merchant, his wife Louise ( ) was a London Rothschild, daughter of Nathan, the founder of the London bank. He enrolled at Göttingen university and heard Ranke s lectures on German history in Berlin, before serving a banking apprenticeship in London and Frankfurt. From the late 1830s he worked in the Frankfurt bank, experiencing political disturbances in 1848 and the threat of a Prussian invasion in Mayer Carl von Rothschild s collection of almost five thousand works of art was set out in his Frankfurt house on the Untermainquai and his villa at the Gunthersburg, outside the town. German plate stood out among the Limoges enamels, gold boxes from Paris, Dresden and Vienna
2 and Italian hardstone cabinets. All were catalogued by the Frankfurt art historian Ferdinand Luthmer in the early 1880s. Mayer Carl s name recurs as an outstanding figure, even within a family of collectors. However, little is known about how and why he collected, and how much, apart from the cameos and portraits by Moritz Oppenheim, was inherited from his father Carl Mayer. 2 Luthmer gave few objects any provenance, although lists made after Mayer Carl s death in 1886 refer to the London sale of the Duke of Hamilton s collection in Mayer Carl s star acquisition was the well-known Mother Earth table centre (Merkelsche Aufsatz), bought privately in 1880 (see p39). This extraordinary confection of silver gilt and enamel, commissioned from Wenzel Jamnitzer in , a metre tall and bristling with foliage and flowers, was widely admired in 19th-century Germany. Its price to Mayer Carl was exceptionally high: Man spricht von 800,000 Mark, whereas the new museum in Berlin had paid 666,000 marks for thirty-six items from the Luneburg civic plate in The German state was rumoured to be trying to buy the Jamnitzer piece in 1895, after the death of Mayer Carl s widow. 3 In the European art market of Mayer Carl s youth, collectors took advantage of the upheavals of recent history to pick over the remnants of ancient wealth and grandeur some ten years after the tranquillisation of Europe, distracted by the long war of the French revolution Art-Treasures had been dispersed and gradually fell into the hands of dealers. As long-established institutions across Europe sold their possessions, at least three of the Five Arrows collected, particularly showy curiosities of goldsmiths work such as Mayer Carl s shield-hung cup of a Weavers Guild. In 1807 D.V. Denon had seized for the Musée Napoléon in Paris striking German plate from the treasury at Hesse-Kassel. Richly worked old Portuguese and German buffet plate attracted William Beckford and the Dukes of Sussex, Cambridge and York. Garrards sold old Nuremburg silver, for dressing historicist interiors, to the Duke of Buccleuch. 4 The King of Saxony decided to reorganise his Kunstkammer in An auction of clocks and automata from his famous Dresden collections followed in 1835, the likely source of several Rothschild figures and automata. Although we cannot say what he first bought and when, dealers Cup in the form of a cat, silver, Augsburg, c.1600 (Château Mouton Rothschild) 37
3 Der Merkelsche Tafelaufsatz by Wenzel Jamnitzer, one of the major pieces in Mayer Carl's collection, now in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam (BK-17040) 38 were the essential intermediaries. In July 1842, two generations of male Rothschilds, Anthony (the second son of Nathan), Mayer Carl, Carl Mayer and Nathaniel called on the leading Nuremburg dealers, the house of Abraham, Siegmund and Max Pickert, the first of many contacts. 5 His father Carl s residence in Naples from 1821 presumably explains his cameos and intaglios, untypical of later Rothschild taste. Mayer Carl, however, sought out early German metalwork, particularly animal form, ivory-mounted, rare or richly chased pieces. He shared this taste with Lionel and Mayer in London well after the 1850s when it was becoming unfashionable. 6 Glittering and reflecting the light, in fanciful shapes, embodying wealth, goldsmiths work exudes continuity and tradition. Massive buffets for old gilt plate featured at Carlton House in the Prince Regent s Gothic Dining Room, at Burghley and in Hardwick s Livery Hall at Goldsmiths Hall. So for the Rothschilds to create spectacular buffets, as at Mentmore, where a four-tier buffet ran the length of the dining room to deploy their gilt plate to best effect, was following this fashion. The Mentmore shelves were covered in figured velvet to match the wall-covering and large cups, a big round dish, an owl and an equestrian figure stood on side tables, reflected in mirrors. 7 Mayer Carl bought costly German objects at least till As the art critic Rudolf von Eitelburg commented in 1876, they did not bear any foreign character. In this way he was identifying with the new Germany and distancing himself from his relatives prevailing French taste amid the nationalistic and aggressive Franco-German relations of the 1860s and 1870s. By 1860 he was Court Banker for Prussia, and was preoccupied with delicate financial negotiations with Bismarck. When Frankfurt was threatened by a Prussian invasion in July 1866, the Gunthersburg was in the line of advance. 180 soldiers were quartered on the family; it was lucky that the cows were not yet in their new stable, for it makes a capital barracks, his wife wrote to her cousins in London, reassuring them that Charles was perfectly calm, although it was rumoured that he might be imprisoned. In fact, his relationship with Prussia became crucial with the enormous indemnity subsequently demanded from Frankfurt by the Prussians. His key rôle, assisted by generous contributions to a new city hospital, led to his almost unanimous election to the parliament of the North German Federation in Was Mayer s appetite for German decorative arts stimulated by his rôle as negotiator for Frankfurt s interests? Apart from Meissen porcelain, his houses contained medieval horns, spectacular Mannerist silver by the Jamnitzer family and the Lencker brothers, Gothic-revival double cups by Hans Petzolt, high-relief plaques by the Augsburg chaser Thelott, and Dinglinger toys, mounted rhinoceros, tortoiseshell, unicorn and mother of pearl from other German workshops. 9 Visiting his Frankfurt cousins, Ferdinand wrote to Lionel on 13 September 1874, I had not much time to look at the curiosities as Baron Charles was hungry I cared less for his new purchases than for his former ones, which as you will remember are very fine. His doubts were well founded as far as some of the Renaissance jewels and early mounted objects were concerned. By the time of the first sale of his objects, in Paris just before the First World War, tastes had changed and some of Mayer Carl s pieces made far less than might have been anticipated twenty-five years earlier when his massive estate was divided. 10 His Untermainquai house, a neoclassical structure of 1820/1 purchased in 1846, was almost doubled in length in a four-year campaign, to designs by Frederic Rumpf. His wife Louise wrote in July 1850, our house is still very little advanced, and a year later in September, The house is not yet finished and work people are still hovering about some of the rooms are as comfortable as I can wish them to be. Guests entered through a marble-lined entrance hall. The first-floor panelled blue Smoking Room and the white and gold Louis XVI Salon are now incorporated into the Frankfurt Jewish Museum which occupies the building. The walls were hung with family portraits, but apart

5 Plaque depicting the Baptism of Christ, embossed and chased by Johann Andreas Thelott, Augsburg, 1685, probably made for a house altar (V&A, M ) 40 from a Tischbein depicting the much-admired German, Goethe, in Rome, he had little interest in 19thcentury paintings. Louise had her private picture gallery upstairs, a sitting room hung with portraits of her family by Mrs Robertson. 11 His wife s letters depict Mayer Carl as an absent figure, constantly travelling on business, for example to Constantinople to negotiate with the Sultan in Accustomed to the hospitality and assimilated atmosphere of her London home, she found the straitlaced life of her observant Frankfurt parents-in-law inimical. Until 1848, the restrictions on the civil liberties of the Jews in Frankfurt, even if less onerous than those of Prussia or Saxony, constrained their social activities. In July 1852 she was gloomy about we poor Jews and liberal principles: Here they are retrograding as fast as possible. Four months later, what a wretched place this is, how full of meanness and littleness, how totally devoid of all that ennobles the heart or enlightens the mind. Charles resolutely refuses ever to leave his fireside and cigar in the evenings, she wrote after ten years of marriage, although they attended a series of evening lectures on German history together in I own with a blush that they make me feel rather sleepy. 12 In contrast, in 1860s London, easy social relations between Sir Henry Cole, director of the South Kensington Museum (now the V&A), and the English Rothschilds led to weekends at Mentmore, advice to Sir Anthony on the design of gates for Aston Clinton, and extensive loans from Lionel, Mayer and Anthony for a glamorous exhibition in But in Frankfurt the cultural atmosphere was much less open. Mayer Carl s preference for privacy may have played a part. Perhaps to play down speculation about his wealth, he refused to lend to a city exhibition, to Ferdinand s surprise, although Anselm in Vienna published a catalogue and lent to the newly established Museum für angewandte Kunst. 13 Mayer Carl s Untermainquai house, as with Rothschild houses in Paris and London, set out decorative art in picturesque juxtapositions. More fragile or precious pieces were in showcases, following the practice of early collectors of curiosities in France and England. 14
6 A showcase of old plate appears in the 1838 Frankfurt family portrait of Mayer s cousin, Anselm. In the early 1840s his father Salomon set up a cabinet of curiosities in his new country house at Schillersdorf in Silesia, as Ferdinand and his brothers were to do in their respective houses. At Waddesdon, Ferdinand first set up a private salle des curiosités in the Tower Room, creating his famous Smoking Room only in the 1890s. A large vitrine in the Red Drawing Room of his London house, 143 Piccadilly, contained 50,000-worth of objets d art. 15 However, Mayer Carl took a significant step beyond these two forms of display. Much of his old German gilded plate was set out formally in free-standing cases in three museum rooms at the Untermainquai residence, open to the public and described in a long newspaper article in These museum rooms, facing the garden, grouped objects broadly by materials. Large free-standing porcelain jars brought colour and bulk to contrast with the rectangular and heavy wooden-framed cases. There were no labels, and no printed catalogue, which, along with its restricted weekly opening hours, three in winter and six in summer, was the explanation offered in 1890 for its being so rarely visited. Ferdie s comment that the cups and groups are crowded together in large glass cases and it is almost impossible to see them suggests that it lacked a sense of happy placement. 16 Mayer Carl died in 1886 leaving a widow and six daughters. His will echoes his father s in differentiating his personal collections as distinct from family records, decorations and heirlooms. In a lengthy codicil of 1854, Carl Mayer had specified as heirlooms for Mayer Carl his ancient coins and modern medals in my iron chest and his collection of cameos, while his antique time-pieces and snuff boxes should be divided by lot. In the 1880s, his son specified that his daughter Hannah Louise was to receive her grandfather s old coins, new medals and numismatic books. But his main collection was divided by Luthmer and five executors between the widow and three daughters. Silver from Germany is the phrase used fifty years later in 1935 in Emma, Lady Rothschild s inventories (she was the second daughter), to distinguish the separate bequest from her father. His decorations and orders, displayed prominently by his eldest daughter, Adèle, in her rue Berryer reception room in Paris, are in a table case beneath the extraordinary foursquare St. Hubert Tazza (created by Vasters in the 1870s), recalling a glorious German past, both personal and artistic. 17 From pride in his faith and his family, he excluded his daughter Margarethe from all but her legal obligatory portion of his estate, because she had married a Frenchman, the Duc de Guiche (later Duc de Gramont) in 1878, the year that Hannah, Mayer s daughter at Mentmore, married out, to the Earl of Rosebery. He objects to a Catholic, he objects to a Frenchman, he objects to a widower, he objects to a moderate fortune. excepting a Rothschild, he would object to any living man. Lacking a son, he left his inherited family portraits to Adèle, the eldest, who had married Salomon James, son of the great Baron James and Betty, and moved to Paris; and to Hannah Louise, who stayed at home, his father s old coins, new medals and numismatic books, plus his own decorations and orders. His art works were split between his widow and three of the daughters. 18 His daughters Adèle and Emma showed their inherited collections in rooms of entertainment. In Paris, Adèle devised a salle des curiositésopening off the Smoking Room. Her double-height central hall was dressed with trophies of arms and two wall-cases containing Venetian glass and Limoges enamels, flanked by wallmounted dishes of maiolica, a technique adopted for her father s large gilt dishes in the main first-floor Salon. At Tring the showcases were recessed into panelling and the objects arranged singly for maximum dramatic impact, whereas Adèle in Paris preferred a crowded and rich effect. Her French 18th-century furniture was overlooked by a massive and unornamented showcase, some five metres long, crammed with 41
7 Two interior views of rue Berryer showing the St Hubert Tazza (left) and the massive display cases (right) more than a hundred examples of goldsmiths work. Medieval and Renaissance vessels were flanked by four shelves of paired nautilus shells, carved ivory, tankards and pear and gourd cups, with Vincennes porcelain flower groups above and Sèvres vases and clocks on the base. Smaller cases flanked the doorways. Elsewhere, table-cases stood between the sofas and armchairs, filled with boxes, nécessaires and other toys. 19 For Mayer Carl, his German plate evoked the proud histories of the cities of the Holy Roman Empire. The Renaissance was seen as a national art movement. The Free City of Frankfurt, the place of crowning of the Holy Roman Emperor, and the city chosen for the abortive meeting of the German princes in 1863, resonated with both historical and contemporary significance. His ambition was to bring together the best that the market could yield of this national treasure. In this he succeeded magnificently. When the collection was reviewed in 1890, the comparison was with nothing less than the German goldsmiths work in the princely treasuries of Dresden, Munich, Hesse-Kassel, Vienna and Moscow.

text: DETROIT MainStreet) -- With fuel costs rising, car buyers are placing a renewed emphasis on fuel savings and higher efficiencies. That means a bigger market for the subcompacts that offer the best mileage and lowest ownership costs, created by low initial cost of purchase as well as lower fuel use. Needless to say, these cars are not for everybody. The Kelley Blue Book 2012 list of the top 10 vehicles with the lowest cost of ownership includes just one compact, the Hyundai Elantra: the nine others are subcompacts. The list also includes just one car from Detroit, the Ford ( F) Fiesta, although MIchigan's representation would have doubled if GM's ( GM) Chevrolet Sonic had come to market in time for KBB to compile sufficient data. The cars are marketed largely for young people and, with most of them, "for anyone with pets or kids, it's tough to cram in," KBB analyst Alec Gutierrez says. They are generally intended "for a young adult or any adult who is not looking for sporty or roomy." The offset is that the cars cost little to buy, operate and maintain. "With fuel prices as big a concern as they are today, and with so much talk about fuel efficient vehicles, we wanted to make sure we captured everything that goes into owning a car for five years," Gutierrez says. "For commuters, these are all fantastic options." KBB surveyed the five-year total cost of ownership. It considered fair purchase price, relying on recent actual transactions from around the country, and then factored in fuel and other cost components. For maintenance, it used assumptions based on the cost of recommended scheduled maintenance. For repairs, it assumed the cost of a third-party extended warranty commencing when the original factory warranty ends. In computing the price, KBB included the value of incentives, either rebates or financing, when applicable, although these are subject to change. Here are the top 10: Prev 0 of 11 Next

Every year in Australia and around the coastline people are taking up the recreational sport of boating. Whether they are tourists or locals that hire a dingy for a small fishing trip off the coastline or own a boat and go up and down the river for recreational use, to the even larger excursions such as a chartered fishing trip, a sailing experience on a catamaran or enjoying a holiday on a cruise ship. Australia is a very fortunate country to have lots of beaches, rivers and seas around us where we can enjoy and create such experiences with boats. However, it can also be very dangerous territory. If you are not careful nor cautious when you are in and around water it could cost you, your life. That is why, we are committed to help you not only enjoy your time in the water and out at sea when you are taking a boat out but we like to ensure that you will also return safely from your trip by providing a knowledge base with everything you need to know about safe boating.
10 safe boating tips when taking your boat out to sea
1. Wearing life jackets and life belts are essential. These are the main things to be done before setting out to sail. This will keep you from falling overboard and this is the most essential equipment for one's safety.
2. Create and follow the existing pre-departure check list. This checklist can be used as a guidance. This way nothing will slip out of mind and it is a pre-planned procedure for everyone's safety on board.
3. Before planning for boating trip, be sure about the local weather forecast and conditions. If the clouds are dark and there are high winds or if the temperature suddenly drops then it is a good idea to call off and reschedule for another day. It's all about being responsible.
4. Do not consume alcohol on board. According to researches it is known that the risk of sailing accidents is more frequent when the driver of a boat is under the influence of alcohol. The effects of alcohol will be increased due to the sun, wind and swell of the sea and alcohol and water sports do not mix.
5. Proper clothing and footwear also play an important role in the boating safety. Always choose to wear non-slip shoes. Packing waterproof clothing such as rain jackets are essential. To combat crosswinds while out on the boat and most importantly packing a hat and sunscreen will help to avoid sunburns and from sunstrokes from being in the sun all day.
6. Know the area well, knowledge of the area is important as it will give you information on where you can take your boat and where you can't and the possible dangers and hazards to avoid. You should understand the challenges that may occur and be equipped to handle them before taking your boat out. Follow the navigation rules remember to keep a safe distance between other watercrafts.
7. Be aware of the speed limits and obey them especially in the areas where it is crowded. Staying alert is very important and an essential skill when controlling a boat.
8. To avoid seasickness, avoid sailing on an empty stomach. An empty stomach can cause seasickness more easily comparatively with someone that is full. It is advisable to pack some food before setting for sail and if need be pack some motion sickness medication.
9. Packing a good first-aid kit is absolutely vital. This should include any surgical equipment, bandages and medication for pain. A good radio will also help too in case of an emergency.
10. Be prepared with a first aid course. These courses will be available online or one can learn it in local community. Understanding what to do in the case of an emergency is vital for survival, especially when you set out on a boat and don't have immediate access to help. You need to know what to do.

Created by MPC-HC Team
I love VLC Media Player, and use it as my primary video player; however, I want surprised to find it incapable of properly reading Star Wars I The Phantom Menace (probably due to the InterActual software it was infected with). Fortunately, this application enabled me to enjoy the movie without any hassles.
It's got built-in subtitles, DXVA hardware acceleration, tons of filters, and plays nice with external codecs. Output is quite customizable. Has a nice UI.

Possessive 's
We very often use possessive 's with names
This is Mary's car.
Where is Ram's telephone?
Who took Anthony's pen?
I like Tara's hair.
When a name ends in s, we just add the apostrophe ':
This is Luis
That is Charlies
When we want to show that something belongs to somebody or something, we usually add 's to a singular noun and an apostrophe ' to a plural noun
the boy's ball (one boy)
the boys' ball (two or more boys)
Some nouns have irregular plural forms without s (man > men). To show possession, we usually add 's to the plural form of these nouns
singular noun plural noun
my child's dog my children's dog
the man's work the men's work
the mouse's cage the mice's cage
a person's clothes people's clothes

text: GSMA unveils low power wide area network IoT initiative21 Aug 2015 02:53 PM Mobile operators, OEMs and IoT companies combine to accelerate development of LPWA market with commercial solutions expected in 2016The GSMA has established a new project designed to address the use of low power wide area (LPWA) M2M solutions in licensed spectrum. The 'Mobile IoT Initiative' is backed by 26 leading mobile operators, OEMs, chipset, module and infrastructure companies.The new group will work to accelerate the commercial availability of mobile IoT technology by facilitating demonstrations, proofs of concept and trials of a selection of complementary LPWA licensed spectrum technologies. It will also provide analysis and feedback to assist 3GPP in standardising the technologies.It is expected that initial specifications for LPWA solutions will be completed by the end of 2015, with a first implementation in early 2016 and full commercial solutions following later in the year.LPWA networks are designed for machine-to-machine (M2M) applications that have low data rates, long battery lives and that operate unattended for long periods of time. It is an emerging area of the Internet of Things (IoT) and represents a huge market opportunity as the IoT scales. Analyst firms including Analysys Mason, Machina Research and Strategy Analytics anticipate that there will be 2.7 billion LPWA connections by 2022."The market opportunity for LPWA will be a significant driver in the development of the IoT and it's essential that the mobile industry address the requirements for LPWA cases early on," said Alex Sinclair, acting director general and chief technology officer, GSMA."The industry is clearly united behind the Mobile IoT Initiative, providing a common vision to accelerate the availability of industry standard solutions, removing market fragmentation and accelerating adoption."The GSMA said it does not believe a single technology is capable of addressing all of the LPWA use cases and so the initiative will focus on three proposed complementary licensed 3GPP standards: LTE evolutions, GSM evolutions and clean slate technologies.The GSMA argues that LPWA technologies in licensed spectrum can be deployed in a simplified and cost-effective manner, without sacrificing key customer requirements, such as battery lifetime and security.It noted that mobile operators already provide reliable end-to-end IoT platforms that allow customers to scale and manage their business requirements. They also have unrivalled global network coverage as well as technical and business support to react to a customer's changing needs.The initiative has been backed by key industry players including AT&T, Alcatel-Lucent, Bell Canada, China Mobile, China Telecom, China Unicom, Deutsche Telekom, Ericsson, Etisalat, Huawei, Gemalto, Intel, KDDI, Nokia, NTT DOCOMO, Ooredoo, Orange,Qualcomm Incorporated, Sierra Wireless, Singtel, Telecom Italia, Telefonica, Telenor, Telstra, u-blox and Vodafone.James Atkinson EditorLinkedIn |Google + |Email Leave a CommentPlease write code to prove you're humanMore on...

This will be the new goalkeeper kit of Bayern Munich for the 2011/12 season. The picture shows Number 1 goalkeeper Hans-Jorg Butt wearing the new white kit. The kit is manufactured and supplied German brand Adidas, whose logo is gold on the right side of the chest. Telekom is Bayern's shirt sponsor. The trademark stripes of Adidas on the shoulders and sleeves are red, and the white complementary shorts will also have these stripes in red on the sides.
Since the 2000/01 season, Bayern Munich have won the German Bundesliga 6 times, with the latest being the 2009/10 season. In the 2010/11 season, the team dropped to the third place in the table (until the 33rd matchday). They won their 2010/11 Champions League Group E, to be knocked out in the Round of 16 by prior year Champions Internazionale on away goals. Butt and Kraft were the two goalkeepers who played in the current season, conceding 39 goals (until matchday 33) between them.
Posted on May 12, 2011
White Goalkeeper shirt? The kitman will have a nightmare washing that!
RFC_8. – did they? I know they had a red and yellow one.
Can u send me a link please to White one
Wonder how many times this will actually be on the goalkeeper. Rangers had a white kit for their keeper this season, and i think it was wore less that 10 times!
should be the away kit
i hope the prospect of wearing this will put neuer off and join utd instead!
Neuer will look nice in that.

1969 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon Stockholm SO69/3
For sale is a very rare 1969 Volkswagen Type 2 (bus) Westfalia "Stockholm" SO 69/3. This model of bus, known as a "Stockholm" was only produced for 1969 and 1970 model years. It has the square straight-rise pop top that was more common to earlier split window buses. We believe that approximately 90 of "Stockholms" were shipped to the US and Mexico in 1969 and 1970. The key lock in the ignition is in Spanish.
There have been 2 previous owners, the first of which had this bus for nearly 45 years. The original owner claims the 57,000 miles are original mileages and that could very well be true. The interior is good condition. The original pop-top canvas did not withstand the test of time, and has been redone. Curtains are original and in great shape, and so is the child's cot (a factory option). The original vinyl covered wedge pillow is still aboard. The vinyl cushions have some cracking and the front drives seat shows some flaking, and a tear behind the seat out of view, The dash board has some vertical weather cracks.
The bus originally came equipped with a gas heater- that's the access door on the diver side rear. The heater is not there but the ducting is.
These busses were originally built on an "ambulance" chassis, and as such has additional underbody support and skid plating, as well as a metal bulkhead behind the driver's bench.
She is propelled by a dual port 1700 engine. The engine leaks a little bit from the seal on the oil pressure sender. It also weeps from the oil cooler. We have had it inspected and these are the only faults found.
The interior seems to be original but as we prepare this bus for sale I'm not quite sure that closets and kitchenette are but it's and in good to descent condition, The bus is presently equipped with a kitchenette that has a propane stove, electric pump faucet and sink plus an Electro lux refrigerator, but they are not hooked up. We have the original propane bottle for the kitchenette. We have another working kitchenette with a little different set up that we are including.
Other details include the original VW roof rack which has been recently powder coated to match the paint, and a rare folding side step under the sliding door. There is also a foot rest on the passenger side.
There is a little rust but very little. It's had some very minor repairs to the body, and it's not show perfect, but there is no rot, on the body or chassis. This bus is seriously solid, as you can clearly see in the pictures.
The color is a repaint in the original color to match all the jambs and interior metal. Everything works.
This bus is not a restoration or refurbishment: it is pretty much original and you can drive it home
We bought this bus to use it as a marketing car for our company but we realized it was the wrong bus to relegate to marketing duties. We need a deluxe (TRADE?)
We are putting this bus up for bid with a reserve of $10,500, and you can buy it right now for $15,000. We require an immediate $750. deposit upon winning, and the balance must be paid in full within 3 days.
We are in Boulder Colorado and if you need to visit us from afar, we will arrange your transportation from the airport.

I'm always impressed with a man who can show off just as much cock soft or hard. Sure, it's always a surprise when a big, solid erection springs from a 3-inch softie; but let's face, wouldn't we all rather look at an 8-inch big meaty cock hanging heavily between a man's legs. Watching it flop from side to side as the owner saunters off to the gym's showers, or walking confidently and without a towel down the bathhouse hallway and turning heads. Max is one of the latest masculine men stripping naked over at Butch Dixon. And as you can see, Max is definitely a grower and a shower. As he sits naked in an office chair, his pendulous cock lies across the black leather. And that cock head! What a beautifully plump cap. Can you imagine slobbering all over that thing? When Max starts stroking his cock it doesn't get much longer, but it sure does get thicker and harder. Look at him holding his big dick in his hand, he's looking for a horny cock sucker to take care of his growing problem!

Picture: Arnel Pineda of Journey performing at Manchester MEN Arena on their 'Don't Stop Believin' Tour. Manchester, England - 08.06.11
There's not much point in approaching Journey Mysterious Island as serious cinema fare. It's one of those "lost island" tales with Volcanoes threatening to erupt, prehistoric creatures on the loose, and pristine jungles with nary a dead leaf to spoil the green. "This is transcendently goofy," Roger Ebert remarks in the Chicago Sun-Times , remarking tongue in cheek No Doubt, "I hope you understand I enjoyed most of this stuff." And Ebert doesn't invoke the old cliché about being entertained by a good bad movie, but he comes close "It isn't a 'good' movie in the usual sense (or most senses)," he concludes, "but it is jolly and good-natured." Ebert's fellow Chicagoan, Michael Phillips of the Tribune , is not so softhearted. "It's only disguised as fun," Phillips writes. (He also doesn't much like the 3D cartoon that precedes the movie, Daffy's Rhapsody. " Grating and pushy," he calls it.) Neil Genzlinger, in a brief 230-word summary of Journey Mysterious Island , doesn't even attempt to critique it. He sums up, "The movie makes no effort to do anything other than what is expected, and it succeeds at that."

The code kinda broke, so I got rid of it.
Infernus is a ranged AP caster who relies on destructive combos and split-second timing to make up for his minimal survivability. However, rather than hanging back from the fight, Infernus prefers to leap into the action, avoiding taking damage solely by destroying the enemy before they have a chance to act.
Champion info
name = Infernus
title = The Avatar of the Lost
health = 10
attack = 20
spells = 100
difficulty = 100
hp = 276 (+73)
mana = 343 (+45)
damage = 37 (+2.4)
range = 550
armor = 10 (+2.4)
magicresist = 30 (+0)
attackspeed = 0.5 (+0.97%)
healthregen = 5.2 (+0.76)

speed = 415
Infernus, the Avatar of the Lost is a custom champion in League of Legends.
Angelic Flame
Description: Infernus' basic attacks and abilities apply stacks of Angelic Flame (max 10 stacks). Each stack does 3+(0.5*lv)+(0.025*AP) damage per second for 3 seconds and increases damage taken from Infenus' abilities by 2.5% per stack -->
Roiling Flame
Description: (Active): A ball of flame extends in a line (range 750 taking 1 second) dealing 75|100|125|150|175|+(0.2*AP) damage to any enemy hit, applying Angelic Flame to them and dragging them along with the projectile. If the projectile hits any obstacle it cannot pass through, it explodes dealing damage proportional to the remaining distance up to three times the base damage to anyone attatched to it.
cooldown: 6|6|6|6|6
cost: 65 mana
range: 750
Wall of Flame
Description: (Active): A wall of fire of length 500 materialises, dealing 100|150|200|250|300+(0.75*AP) damage and applying Angelic Flame every time an enemy crosses it physically, whether walking or not. The wall dissipates after 3 seconds.-->
cooldown: 8|8|8|8|8
cost: 50 mana
On Wings Of Fire
Description: (Active): Infernus leaps to the target location, dealing 50|70|90|110|130+(0.2*AP) damage to any enemy he passes over and applying Angelic Flame.-->
range: 200
cooldown: 18|16|14|12|10
cost: 70|75|80|85|90 mana
Incenidary Angel
Description: (Active): Strikes a target with holy fire, dealing 75|100|125(+0.25*AP) damage on impact and twice as much over 3 seconds, applying Angelic Flame on each tick. If an enemy dies under the effect of Incenidary Angel, they explode with a radius of 100, reapplying Incenidary Angel to any of Infernus' enemies hit. The damage over time does not stack, only reset the timer.-->
(Passive): The cooldown of Incenidary Angel is reduced by 0.2 seconds for every enemy Infernus kills.
cooldown: 80|80|80
cost: 100 mana
Infernus Strategy:
Essentially, a very high risk but even higher reward champion. A good Infernus player will be well rewarded, but he must seek out the hearts of conflicts where few self-respecting AP mids would find themselves - and most of them have more health than Infernus!
Infernus is an incredibly difficult champion to chase, due to a push-back ability, a wall which deals high damage each time you cross it, which makes for some legendary and deadly jinks, and a jump. His ultimate ability is almost an added extra, useful for dealing with clustered low-health champions or scattering the enemy, but incredibly hard to use effectively. Combining Incenidary Angel with Roiling Flame can produce interesting effects, slaying an Incenidary champion while another champion is right next to him.
Remember that no champion is squishier than you. If a Veigar would be just about okay with doing something, you'll be just about dead. However, your damage is supreme, and every one of your abilities but your ultimate can get you out of a fight in a hurry.
Attack speed is one way to get the most out of this, but even just spamming your abilities (and they are pretty spammable with decent CR) will apply a lot of stacks, just so long as you get a hit in every three seconds. Remember that the damage is not the main point of it.
Even at first level, you can send enemies flying towards your turret for a quick kill, especially if they impact it for additional damage. Even hitting them into a wall at point blank will do a massive amount of damage, and a basic attack or two will easily finish them. Take this ability first, and max it first or second.
This does a lot of damage, and can be triggered by your Q, Blitzcrank's pull, or anything else that drags the enemy through. If you're being chased, set this down, watch them run through (or use up their flash), then Q them back through it, forcing them to walk through it a third time to reach you again. Take this ability second, and max it first or second.
This is nothing special; it's a gap-opener or gap-closer. When chasing, you can throw a wall down in front of your enemy, jump over the wall and the enemy, and use your Q to push them back through the wall. The damage is minor, and it shouldn't be used primarily to deal damage, although it does apply your passive. Take this last, and max it last.
Your ultimate is useful for clearing jungle camps in a hurry, dispersing close-together champions or killing low-health champions in groups. Use your other abilities to get yourself and your opponents into a good position, before blasting them down. Remember that this applies 7 stacks of Angelic Flame on its own (though the last is too late to do anything) so you don't need to worry too much about getting the full ten stacks, and don't need to worry at all about keeping them. Minions are a great conduit for Incenidary Angel, especially when you can kill them with the initial hit - you can be applying the immediate damage three or four times over.
Building Infernus:
Building tanky and ignoring your mediocre AP ratios entirely is viable, but those little bits of AP do add up, especially with repeated Angelic Flames. The AP ratio on that passive looks tiny, but with 500 AP by level 18 you're almost doubling the base damage.
Attack speed with (or even without) your AP also works. Runaan's hurricane can quickly apply Angelic Flame several times to multiple enemes, allowing for the golden +25% damage that you really want.

Payday Loans and Consumer Financial Health
List Price: $12.95
Sale Price: $11.39
Availability: Usually ships in 1-2 business days
Product Description
For a two-week $300 payday advance loan, payday lenders typically charge in excess of $45, a cost so high that many believe the loan could not possibly be in the best interest of the borrower. Nevertheless, some estimates indicate that payday loan volume grew more than fivefold to almost $50 billion from the late 1990s to the mid 2000s (Stegman 2007). With the recent rise of the payday lending industry, questions abound about the characteristics and circumstances of payday loan borrowers, and the ultimate impact of such loans on their welfare. Interest in payday lending has grown among economists in particular because of the possibility that transactions in this market may reflect a market failure due to asymmetric information or borrowers' cognitive biases or limitations, or demonstrate divergence in behavior from traditional models (hyperbolic discounting, for example). In 2007, Congress and the Department of Defense moved to ban payday lending to members of the military based on the view that such lending traps service members in a cycle of debt and threatens military readiness.2 And in 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act established the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to help regulate the market for consumer financial products, including the payday loan market. Historically, regulation of payday lending to the general population has often come at the state level, but the CFPB has authority to write and enforce new federal regulations to the extent that they judge payday loans to be "unfair, deceptive or abusive," and they have recently suggested that new consumer protections in the payday loan market may be forthcoming (CFPB 2013). In this paper, I draw on nationally representative panel data comprised of individual credit records, as well as Census data on the location of payday loan shops at the ZIP code level, to test whether payday loans affect consumers' financial health. I use credit scores and score changes, as well as other credit record variables, as measures of financial health. Credit scores conveniently summarize one's credit history, and previous research suggests payday loan usage could affect credit scores. Importantly, use of and performance on payday loans does not directly affect traditional credit scores (such as the FICO score). Rather, payday loans can affect scores indirectly to the extent that such loans either improve or undermine consumers' ability to manage cash flow and meet their financial obligations in general.

We're at a current slow period as NFL decision-makers are hot on the trail of young talent at the numerous college pro days – Mike Zimmer is in the middle of a three-day Big 10 tour and Rick Spielman reportedly joined him to work out Michigan State DT Malik McDowell – so the questions of whether the Minnesota Vikings are going to make more free agent moves before the draft are numerous.
If they remain dormant in free agency, what positions will they be looking at most for a youth infusion?
Barring a signing that drops down a need further on the depth chart, here's one take on what the Vikings need and, given Rick Spielman's horizontal draft board, could be in the direct line of fire for the flurry of Day 2 and 3 picks that are the current focus of the draft.
Guard – The Vikings were shorthanded at guard all season last year and released Brandon Fusco and Mike Harris after the season ended. Alex Boone is set at left guard, but the Vikings need not only a guard to contend to be an immediate starter, but depth as well because they simply don't have enough of it right now.
Defensive Tackle – Linval Joseph is a Pro Bowl talent, but depth is a significant issue. Sharrif Floyd, according to head coach Mike Zimmer, still isn't 100 percent more than six months after suffering a leg injury and Tom Johnson is on the wrong side of 30 (32) and not getting any younger. Shamar Stephen has exceeded what is expected of a seventh-round draft pick, but he is a situational player. It wouldn't be a shock if, despite offensive needs, the Vikings use their first selection to make their defense even stronger if a defensive tackle they like is available in Round 2.
Center – Joe Berger has outplayed his contract the last two years since at center, but, at age 34, the Vikings have to start the process of looking beyond his playing career. They can likely land a decent replacement on Day 3 of the draft and, considering their past success with Matt Birk and John Sullivan is the sixth round of previous drafts, there is developmental talent to be had in the late rounds.
Linebacker – Chad Greenway retired and has yet to be replaced. Zimmer has a thing for developing young defensive players – not just cornerbacks – so he's likely going to look for an impact player to pair up with Anthony Barr and Eric Kendricks. It may be a long shot pick for the Vikings' first selection, but far from out of the realm of possibility if a player they covet is still on the board.
Tight End – It would seem the linkage between the Vikings and free agent Jared Cook should be evidence enough that the organization is looking to have more than just Kyle Rudolph be a downfield tight end threat. They didn't get a deal done with Cook but sent the message that, despite drafting a tight end in each of the last two drafts, the third time in a row could come next month.
