Growth Accelerating in the First Quarter of 2007. Business Cycle Report of May 2007
Economic growth in Austria accelerated in the first quarter of 2007 despite the impact of the value added tax increase in Germany. Real GDP growth was 0.8 percent quarter-on-quarter and 3.2 percent year-on-year. Goods exports and investment are the main pillars of the economic upturn. Business sentiment among manufacturers is currently as optimistic as last recorded in 2000, a boom year. Retail trade also showed signs of a revival, but weak car sales and lower fuel consumption held down the result for private consumption.

NEWARK, N.J. (Nov. 8)
Political developments in the Soviet Union will be reported by NBC-TV News during its coverage of the Olympic Games in Moscow this summer, it was announced this week by Jacqueline Levine, past president of the Metropolitan New Jersey Conference on Soviet Jewry. Jane Pfeiffer, board chairman of NBC gave this assurance to Sam Kusumoto, president of the New Jersey-based Minolta Corporation, after he wrote to Ms. Pfeiffer, expressing his company's concern that the games might "foster a wholesale violation of the rights of minorities."
Kusumoto informed Ms. Pfeiffer that he had been apprised of this potential problem at a meeting with Ms. Levine and Meyer Fine, executive director of the Soviet Jewry Conference. Kusumoto, whose camera firm will be sponsoring NBC's national broadcast of the Olympic Games, had informed Ms. Pfeiffer that he shared the Conference's concern that the true spirit of the Olympics might be violated and "should this begin to develop, we would be unhappy to lend our support to the games via sponsorship." He had asked NBC-TV to "take whatever steps are possible to avoid such violations of human rights."
Ms. Pfeiffer told Kusumoto that "NBC will concentrate on the Games themselves and on giving American athletes the recognition they deserve," adding that NBC News "has reported regularly on humane issues and political protests in the Soviet Union and NBC's attention and concern in this area will not diminish."
REMINDER: There will be no Bulletin dated Nov. 12 due to Veteran's Day, a postal holiday.

Canon I-Sensys LBP3360
Buy Now...
The main difference between a laser and an inkjet is that almost all the time the claimed print speed is met. This unit claims 22PPM and while this is for letter mode I got very close to 20PPM for A4. It matters not if you have a couple of sentences on the page or 50 plus lines of small text. I can assure you that any inkjet would produce vastly different speeds if given those two pages.
The basic resolution is 600x600 but through various technologies, enhancements and smoothing technologies this can be 2400x600. I found however that the standard output was excellent and any letter of document produced on it should be quite acceptable for whatever required purpose.
The unit has 64MB of internal memory (SDRAM) and this is more than enough to give a full A4 graphic image in monochrome, if you have never produced graphics in monochrome I suggest you give it a try as if you choose the right image it can have as much effect as a full colour one assuming you have good shades of grey implementation.
This unit can be connected by either USB (it is USB 2) or Ethernet. The basic toner cartridge is stated to last for 2500 pages but if you are a heavy user then you can get an 'H' cartridge stated to last for 6000 pages. Perhaps for those draft documents or those purely produced for layout purposes then the 'toner saving' mode would be of use.
It has a proper paper tray - sorry this is a knee jerk reaction to all the inkjets that only have a shelf - while I never managed to get the claimed 250 sheets of 80gram A4 in without it seeming totally overfull I found 200 just about comfortable.
Something I do not often mention is power consumption but as this may be used in an office environment it could be left on 24x7 and the 400watt in use may shock - no pun intended - the 11watt during standby or the 7watt during sleep all add up.
No doubt regular readers are amazed that my first feature was not my normal dimensions, of course they matter but perhaps more for inkjets than lasers. It is 40x38x27cm and the weight is close to 13kilos.
It will work on Windows 98SE or later and should you own a MAC version 10.15 or later you should also be able to use it. It supports both PCL5e and PCL6. First page out is stated to be 9seconds and while I never quite got there it was only a little slower than that so perhaps the on/off switch can get some use if the unit is not in constant use.
One feature not yet mentioned is that it has a built in duplex unit so automatic double sided printing is possible. This of course does help to save the rainforests but unless you use good quality paper printing on both sides often looks naff and it can show through giving results that may not please.
Doing my searches found the Canon I-Sensys LBP 3360 at a best price of £279.16 from the first link below. Certainly not cheap as there are colour lasers out there for that sort of money. The quality was good but it must be horses for courses.

We are scandalised that millions of our brothers and sisters live in extreme poverty in a world of riches. Yet we are filled with hope because we are the first generation with the means to liberate them.
The Church has worked for and alongside the poorest people in the world throughout its history. Pope Francis has reinforced our mission. He chose his name after St. Francis of Assisi, a symbol of peace, austerity and poverty.
Caritas follows in the tradition of St. Francis in providing care to those who are excluded and marginalised.
Our Caritas organisations believe they can do more for the poor by working together. That's why they work together as Caritas Internationalis to respond to disasters and conflicts, to protect the rights of the weak and to give poor communities the tools they need to build better lives.
Please support this united action by giving to Caritas Internationalis.
Cardinal Luis Antonio Gokim Tagle
President of Caritas Internationalis
"A church without charity does not exist" -Pope Francis
When disaster strikes, our Emergency Response Team works with national Caritas members to get families the help they need fast.
People living in poverty are excluded from the halls of power. Caritas takes their concerns to world leaders and the international community.
The Global Action Fund is our "where most needed" fund that has a global impact. By working together we can help millions of people.
Tribute Gifts are a wonderful way to recognise someone special or to celebrate a birthday, wedding, new baby, graduation or other important occasion. They are also a thoughtful way to express sympathy by honouring the memory of a deceased loved one.
For many donors a legacy is the largest gift that they will ever make. Legacy Gifts have a huge impact on the work of Caritas Internationalis. Gifts we have received in the recent past have allowed us to implement programmes that will have a lasting legacy.

Crime & Punishment of Tuesday, 20 July 2010
Source: GNA
Ejura (Ash), July 20, GNA - The police at Ejura have mounted a massive search for a four-year old girl who went missing on Monday at about 1000 hours.
Suweba Adam, a pupil of the Ejura Mount Zion Preparatory school, is believed to have been abducted by two middle-aged men.
She was said to be in the company of her school mates, Nayima, 5, and Toffica Habibu, 7, when a green vehicle pulled up near them.
Two men came down from it, called the unsuspecting little girls and asked that they bought them some doughnuts. They gave out 90 Ghana Pesewas to the children for this.
They convinced Nayima and Habibu to allow Suweba to stay behind since she was younger.
The girls could not find some of the doughnuts and on their return there was no trace of either their friend or the strangers.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Henry Bacho, the District Police Commander, confirmed the incident to the Ghana News Agency and said they have launched investigations.
He said they were doing everything to unmask those behind her abduction and bring them to justice.
He advised that teachers should ensure that school children were always kept within the confines of the school during school contact hours.

Kuqa Travel Guide
Last updated by fabiowzgogo at 2017/6/9
Kuqa Overview
As an important stop at the ancient Silk Road, Kuqa County in Xinjiang Autonomous Region is an ancient Buddhist Kingdom. It is a small oasis county along the Silk Road, which runs along the north edge of the Taklamakan Desert in the Tarim Basin and south of the Muzat River. It is located 400km to the west of Urumqi.
In ancient China, Kuqa was known as Qiuci Kingdom, which began at about 200BC, during the Western Han Period. As an oasis with advantageous location and abundant resources, Qiuci became a major trade, political and cultural hub, and later, an important Buddhist center in Turkestan. Influenced by the multiple cultures, Qiuci civilization was formed, and people are still able to have a glimpse of the ancient culture in Kuqa nowadays.
A great number of ancient city ruins, which have been disappearing for 10 centuries were found there with abundant cultural relics. There are many cultural sights, and Buddhist grottoes are the most famous, such as the Kizilgaha, Kumutura, Mazabeg and Simsem grottoes.

Because presidential elections are never-ceasing Sisyphean struggles from whose cruel grip we can never fully escape, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) is already gearing up to run for president in 2016. So, obviously, Cruz — who was born in Calgary to an American mother — released his birthday certificate Sunday, because that's apparently what you do when you want to run for president these days.
Under Canadian law, anyone born in the country is automatically a Canadian citizen, unless their parents were foreign diplomats (and Cruz's were not). So Cruz, much to his surprise, turns out to be a dual U.S.-Canadian citizen.
That almost certainly doesn't make him ineligible to become president under the prevailing interpretation of Article Two, Section 1 of the Constitution, which restricts the presidency to "natural born Citizen[s]." But it's totally insane that we're even thinking about this. The natural-born citizenship clause is almost mind-numbingly stupid and it needs to be done away with.
Few other countries do it
A good first step when evaluating a policy like the natural-born citizenship clause is to see if other countries do it too, and if not, if they've suffered any consequences from that failure. And sure enough, very few other developed countries have requirements at all like this one:
• Australia has no natural-born citizenship requirement. Indeed, the late Prime Minister Chris Watson was born in Chile; he didn't dispute this, but claimed that he was of Scotch background and born to parents living in New Zealand, when his father was in fact a Chilean citizen. Australia does require that all members of the House of Representatives — of which the Prime Minister has all but once been a member — and the Senate — in which the one other PM sat, before resigning and becoming a member of the House — be only citizens of Australia, and not hold dual citizenship.
• Austrian chancellors must be eligible to serve in the National Council (or Nationalrat, the lower house of parliament), and as such must be citizens — naturalized or otherwise — 18 years or older who are eligible to vote and have been incarcerated for no more than one year.
• Canada's prime minister must, in practice, be eligible to sit in the House of Commons, and thus must be a qualified voter aged 18 or older. There isn't actually a requirement that the prime minister sit in the House of Commons but in practice, no prime minister since the 1890s has not sat in the House or else taken action to join the House as soon as possible (such as by running for a seat in the next election or in a by-election). But in any case, there's no requirement that the prime minister be born in Canada.
• Denmark's prime minister traditionally comes from the Folketing, the nation's unicameral parliament. To be a member, one must be a Dane 18 years old or older who has not been convicted of an "act which in the eyes of the public makes the candidate unworthy of being a member of the Folketing." Again, no native-born citizenship requirement
• Finnish prime ministers are traditionally members of parliament, which just requires one to be able to vote (basically, to be 18). But to be a minister, including prime minister, one must just be, "Finnish citizens known to be honest and competent." Again, no mention of a natural-born requirement.
• Any French citizen aged 23 years or older is eligible to be president, regardless of place of birth.
• Germans who have reached the age of majority (18) are eligible to become members of the Bundestag, the lower house of parliament. Traditionally, chancellors come from the Bundestag, but all that's actually required is the majority support of the body. No other limits — such as national-born citizenship — are imposed.
• Japanese prime ministers must be members of one of the two houses of the Diet, which requires one to be at least 25. They must be Japanese nationals, but there is no natural-born citizen requirement.
• Swedish prime ministers traditionally come from the Riksdag, the country's unicameral legislature. To be elected, one must only be eligible to vote — that is, to be a citizen 18 years or older. There is no natural-born citizenship requirements.
• The United Kingdom has no formal requirements on who can be prime minister, as the Queen can appoint whoever she likes to the post, but in practice the leader of the ruling party or coalition in the House of Commons gets the job. To be in the Commons, one must be at least 18 years old and a British citizen or a citizen of another Commonwealth country or Ireland. So if noted Canadian Sarah Kliff wanted to, she could totally become Prime Minister of the UK. Ted Cruz too.
The rule isn't totally unheard of. Mexico has it, as do Afghanistan and Argentina. But it's pretty rare in developed countries. And last I checked, France and Germany weren't being destroyed by the rule of foreigners with dual loyalties, or whatever it is that the natural born citizenship clause is meant to prevent.
It rules out too many people
Cruz isn't alone. There are three other sitting senators who were born outside the United States: Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who was born in the Panama Canal Zone to American parents; Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), who was born in New Delhi, India, where his father was working as an aide to the U.S. ambassador; and Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), who was born in Fukushima, Japan to a mother who was an American citizen.
All of those are cases where the existing law shouldn't prevent them from assuming the presidency should they win, and in McCain's case a federal judge actually ruled during the 2008 presidential race that it is "highly probable, for the purposes of this motion for provisional relief, that Senator McCain is a natural born citizen." And past presidential candidates with similar issues probably would have made it through. George Romney was born in Mexico to U.S. citizens, which wouldn't have stopped him from becoming president had his 1968 presidential run succeeded. But their candidacies were complicated unnecessarily by the clause.
Moreover, there are plenty of other cases where foreign-born politicians have been ruled out of the presidency for no reason other than their nation of origin. Former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm (D) was born in Vancouver, and thus was ruled out of contention as a VP contender in both 2004 and 2008. Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's (R-Calif.) Austrian origins made him ineligible to run for president. In March 2007, he had a 60 percent approval rating and had just been reelected by a wide margin, but the popular governor of the nation's largest state — who under any other circumstances would be an obvious presidential contender — couldn't run.
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) actually proposed a constitutional amendment repealing that section of the Constitution, with the express intention of making a Schwarzenegger run possible. And it wasn't even the first time an amendment has been proposed with a specific person in mind. In 1974, Rep. Jonathan Bingham (D-N.Y.) introduced an amendment repealing the provision with a possible candidacy by then-Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in mind.
And that's just looking at incidents in recent memory. Between Carl Schurz, Robert Wagner, and Alexander Hamilton (see update below), it isn't hard to name potentially excellent presidents who were barred from office due to the natural-born citizenship clause. Worse, the University of Texas - Austin's Jordan Steiker and Sanford Levinson, along with Yale's Jack Balkin, have noted (working off of prior work at the University of Minnesota), the wording of the clause confines the presidency to either natural-born citizens or citizens of the United States at the time the Constitution was the adopted. Virginia ratified the Constitution after it had taken effect, which occurred when New Hampshire became the ninth state to ratify it.
That means, Steiker, Levinson, and Balkin argue compellingly, that anyone living in Virginia when the Constitution was adopted was ineligible to hold office. That includes George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe. It also includes Andrew Jackson and Zachary Taylor — who were in Tennessee and Kentucky, respectively, when the Constitution was adopted, before either were states — and Martin Van Buren, who was in New York, which ratified the Constitution after adoption. "The only legitimate presidents among the first nine chief executives were John Adams and his son, John Quincy Adams," Steiker, Levinson, and Balkin conclude.
Its rationale makes no sense
Other countries have gotten by fine without a natural-born citizenship requirement and it's denied several very plausible presidential candidates the opportunity to run. Admittedly, there are bigger downsides in the world, but still, if the clause is causing harm, however small, and not doing much for us, it should be junked. So does it have a good defense?
Not really. There's a reason constitutional law professors like Harvard's Randall Kennedy and Yale's Robert Post have called it the single worst provision in the Constitution. The best thing you can get to a rationale for it comes from John Jay, in his letter to George Washington proposing the provision: "Permit me to hint, whether it would not be wise…to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Governments; and to declare expressly that the Command in chief of the american army shall not be given to, nor devolve on, any but a natural born Citizen."
So the concern is that the command of the army could fall into the hands of those with foreign allegiances. But if this is the goal. the natural-born citizenship requirement is a rather preposterous check. The Secretary of Defense can be a foreign-born citizen, and the Secretary of State has been a foreign-born citizen multiple times, as has the National Security Advisor. One can reach the highest echelons of the military without having been born in the U.S. We have already violated the wish of Jay to prevent the admission of foreigners into the national government. Unless we want to prevent people like Madeleine Albright, Henry Kissinger, and Zbigniew Brzezinski from serving the government again, Jay's logic doesn't really make sense anymore.
Getting rid of the natural-born citizenship clause is hardly the most pressing cause in the world. But at the very least it would spare us the regular hand-wringing about cases like Cruz's, and at best it would get us some good leaders we wouldn't get otherwise. Just get rid of it.
Update: My assertion that Alexander Hamilton was barred from the presidency has been contested on the grounds that he was living in the U.S. at the time of the Constitution's adoption, and thus was eligible. It's not that simple. For one thing, the Articles of the Confederation's rules for citizenship were not that straightforward. But also, he was living in New York at the time of adoption, making him arguably ineligible on the same grounds as Washington, Jefferson, Madison, et al.

My information does not list a separate fan switch for this model; it may be part of a control assembly which would explain the high cost.
Blower Motor Speed Control The blower motor is controlled by a four-position heater blower motor switch located on the left side of the control assembly. The four positions are LOW, MEDIUM LOW, MEDIUM HIGH and HIGH. The four operating speeds are obtained with a heater blower motor switch resistor connected in series with the heater blower motor switch operating on the ground side of the blower motor.With the function control knob in the OFF position, the blower motor will not operate.With the heater blower motor switch at LOW, current flow in the ground circuit is through three resistors to obtain the lowest operating speed.With the heater blower motor switch at MEDIUM LOW, current flow in the ground circuit is through two resistors to obtain a medium low operating speed.With the heater blower motor switch at MEDIUM HIGH, current flow in the ground circuit is through one resistor to obtain a medium high operating speed.
The way it all works is as follows:
Power is supplied to the blower motor from the blower motor relay on the pink/white wire. This part of teh circuit is OK, if it works on high speed.
The ground is switched through various resistor combinations to control low speeds.
the black wirte from teh AC control assembly is the ground source for teh circuit. The AC control connects this ground to teh blower switch through the red/ orange wire to the blower switch. The blower switch then connects the ground circuit to the lg/w, y/rd wires to pass through one or 2 resistors dependinon speed selected. The orange/blk wire from the switch to the resistor bypasses the resistors and dirrectly grounds the circuit for high speed operation. There is a thermal limiter (fuse) built into the resistor block itself.
On medium speeds with everythign conencted, check for power at teh y/rd or lg/w wires at the resistor; if there is no power present there, then the resistor is probably open and likely the source of teh problem. Resistors fail much more often thatn control switches due to heat, moisture, and vibration present in the heater case.
I see the first part of my posting did not display: it was a part # XXXXX price for a resistor for your vehicle. It read as follows:
4L5Z19A706AA (front blower resistor assy) $16.45
The information provided for your vehicle does not mention which side of the veihicle any of these componets are located on; when it mentions "ground side" it is referring to the fact that the circuit is swithed on the ground side, that is in between teh load (motor) and battery negative (chassis ground) in the circuit... it doesnt refer to any particular location of components...
Do the wire colors mentioned in the procedure match the wire colors on the vehicle?
A fan switch never has 12 or 13 detents, as there are not that many wires to select in the circuit... are you sure what you are referring to as the switch is the fan switch, or is it a climate control system, where the switch is controlling more than blower speed?
From your original description of the vehicle, it is inferred that it is a manually controlled AC system; you mention having found the resistor block. If it is a climate control (automatic) system, then there is not resistor block in the system; it is microprocessor controlled and the diagnostic procedure is very different...
On an automatic system, you will need to begin by entering the self diagnostic mode and retrieving any failure codes stored in it's memory.
this is done as follows:
EATC On Board Diagnostics Test
An important diagnositc clue also:
Does the blower operate at high speed in all positions, or is it on high in high position, and off in all other positions?
If it is a thumbwheel controlled fan switch, then you have an automatically controlled system; preforming the diagnostic self test procedure as detailed in the last response should generate service codes to help diagnose the source of the failure.
What kind of test equipment do you have available to you at teh moment; do you have a DVOM, a 12 volt test light, or some other way of testing for power and ground at various poiints in the circuit?

Tuesday with Dorie? Well…not exactly!
This week's TWD recipe was Blueberry Sour Cream Ice Cream. The blueberry part sounded great, the sour cream part…not so much. The thought of sour cream in my ice cream kinda made me gag a little, so I looked to my good friend Em and allrecipes. Em and I decided to skip this week's TWD recipe and instead do something along the same lines, but sans the sour cream. We located this scrumptious recipe for Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream and decided to go with it. The outcome was a delicious creamy cheesecake flavored ice cream with beautiful swirls of blueberries and yummy pieces of graham cracker crust. Check out Em's blog by clicking here to see her strawberry cheesecake version. If ya want the real Dorie recipe check out Delores' blog at Chronicles in Culinary Curiosity, if ya want the Dorie substitute from allrecipes, click here! Enjoy!

Your ice cream looks gorgeous. What rebels we are hahahahaha!
Have a delicious day :)
I absolutely love that you guys did this! It looks fantastic!
the regular recipe tasted like cheesecake anyway – great idea!
Oooh. I'll have some of that!
I love that you took inspiration from the "base" recipe and ran with it, making it your own. Great job.
My DBF loves cheesecake ice cream, this will be right up his alley!
This ice cream looks delicious and I would love to try some. Nice sub.
OMG! What a great idea! Cheesecake ice cream sounds devine!!!
Looking at this, I feel faint with longing!:) If only I had everything on hand, we might be eating this for dinner, about eleven o'clock tonight. Sigh.
Wow, what an ice cream! I love all the additions!
Wow, that looks delicious! I want some NOW!!! :)

If a company is allowed by the directors to be struck off for non-filing of an annual return, can those directors be held liable personally for the liabilities of the company?
Please login or register to join the discussion.
Not usually
Do you want to tell us more?
In theory yes, but in most cases they get off
Directors can in law be made liable for the debts of a company if creditors can prove that the company continued to trade while being insolvent and thereby involved the creditor in preventable losses.
The problem here is proving that directors were aware that they were undertaking wrongful trading. Unless someone on the inside is prepared to act as a witness against the directors of the company, or creditors / insolvency practitioners obtain evidence that the directors were trading while insolvent (board minutes, e-mails and other correspondence), then it is almost impossible to prove.
As the directors would be jointly and severally liable for losses, it is to their advantage to stick to a 'party line' that they only became aware of their insolvency immediately prior to closing the doors / calling in an insolvency practitioner, etc.
Probably not what you wanted to hear, but sadly it is the truth. The days when directors would put their hands in their pockets to repay creditors after a company goes bust are sadly long gone.
I have written letters without number to newspapers making exactly this point about Rangers.
There is no doubt from previous press reports and e mails that the directors were indeed aware of the inability of the company to pay its debts. But, as usual, hidden motives prevented this.
Yet I wonder; if it had been Joe Bloggs ltd, would the outcome have been different?
It depends upon the sums due
Yet I wonder; if it had been Joe Bloggs ltd, would the outcome have been different?
Certainly HMRC won't touch a small company that has gone belly up unless the sums are in the hundreds of thousands and HMRC have evidence of substantial cash / assets of the directors that can be easily seized.
As individual inspectors are no longer responsible for a case-load of companies they cannot be held responsible or accountable if those companies are delinquent or go belly up owing thousands of pounds in unpaid tax, usually VAT and PAYE/NI as that collects in large amounts rather quickly.
Even if categorical proof was handed over to HMRC by an accountant or bookkeeper, unless the sums were substantial, HMRC would ignore it as being not worth the hassle.
it depends upon the sums due.
Exactly my point. In the Rangers case this was substantial, so why was no action taken?
I have exactly the same situation
Write a letter to the client, try your luck. You never know, if you word it correctly, you could scare them into paying.
Try something like this:
"As a director of <Company> you are required to act according to the General Duties of a director as specified in Chapter 2 of The Companies Act 2006 specifically a duty to promote the success of the company (S172).
Furthermore, the Insolvency Act 1986 specifies that where any debts have been incurred by a company knowing that they cannot be paid can be deemed as Fraudulent Trading (S213). Possible repercussions are being made personally liable for the debts, being fined and/or imprisoned, being disqualified as a director for up to 15 years.
In order to avoid any possible repercussions for failing to meet your duties we expect payment by return."
Alternatively, you could make an application to restore the company to the register under S1029 Companies Act 2006: Application to court for restoration to the register. This will carry a cost which, depending on the value of monies due, may not be the best option.
Best of luck
It depends upon the sums due
HMRC have announced that for an outlay of some £7 million in additional tax inspectors, they have gained £75 in tax revenue. Imagine what they could attain by investing £1 billion in competent tax staff who could frame tax law in such a way that no loopholes existed. Provided these inspectors were allowed to work only for HMRC, it would remove any possible doubts that they also worked for accountancy firms, as I feel sure has happened in the past.
None of the tax avoiders could afford to pay staff enough to look for loopholes, and tax income would soar.
Why go fishing for sprat, when more sophisticated equipment will bring in mackerel?
Striking Off
The Directors are legally obliged to inform the Creditors when THEY apply for Striking Off. When Companies House activates this, you are left with monitoring the London Gazette. When it's gone, it's GONE. The company does not exist so it has no Directors. Any assets belongs to the Crown.
Trying to re-instate is pretty costly and, even if you did, to what end? Reinstate then get a Judgement followed up by a Winding Up petition.Then you have to encourage the Official Receiver to do something other than let it slip away or, alernatively, pay for an IP to take it on! You really need to be owed a lot.
I wrote an article covering this ...
... entitled - Directors Duties for Companies in Difficulty.
In the article I wrote...'Despite the protection of Limited liability be aware that directors could be made personally liable for any debts being required to contribute to the company's assets in a winding up should there be a breach of duty, fraudulent or wrongful trading. (Insolvency Act 1986 s 213/ s 214 and Re DKG Contractors Ltd (1990)) A director may be liable for unpaid personal PAYE and NI.
See link:
I think you need to focus on "striking off" rather than "winding up". See my note above. "The company ceases to exist".

Darrell Johnson Becomes Weber's First Recruit
Darrell Johnson Becomes Weber's First Recruit
April 27, 2012
MANHATTAN, Kan. - Kansas State head coach Bruce Weber announced the signing of his first recruit on Friday, as Darrell Johnson (St. Louis, Mo./Parkway North) signed a National Letter of Intent with the Wildcats.
"I'm excited to get a recruit of Darrell's quality this late in the signing period," said Weber. "He is a player that we have watched for some time and we feel will be a great fit for our team at the power forward spot. He has tremendous physical gifts, including the ability to defend the rim and be a really good shot blocker. We like his toughness and workmanlike attitude from having played both football and basketball. He also hails from a strong high school basketball area in St. Louis, which we hope will become a strong base for our recruiting efforts."
A 6-foot-8, 235-pound power forward from St. Louis, Mo., Johnson comes to K-State from Parkway North High School, where he earned second team all-state honors as a senior for coach Russell Vincent in 2011-12. He helped the Vikings (21-7) to their first-ever Class 5, District 5 title and a No. 10 final ranking in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch large school classification. In addition to all-state honors, he was named first team All-Suburban South Conference and league co-Defensive Player of the Year as well as to the All-Metro second team by the Post-Dispatch.
Johnson averaged 16.3 points on 64.6 percent shooting (190-of-294) from the field to go with 11.9 rebounds, 5.0 blocks, 1.6 steals and 1.2 assists per game in 28 games as a senior. He led the Vikings in points, field goal percentage, rebounding and blocks, while he ranked among the area leaders in both blocks (second) and rebounding (fourth). He collected 18 double-doubles in 2011-12, while he tallied nine 20-point games, three 20-rebound games and 14 games of five or more blocked shots. He also registered triple-doubles on back-to-back nights, including a 19-point, 15-rebound, 14-block effort vs. Summit on Jan. 3 and a 14-point, 11-rebound, 10-block performance vs. Hazelwood West on Jan. 4. His 14 blocks vs. Summit were a season-high.
Johnson scored a season-high 31 points on 15-of-19 field goals vs. Howell Center to go with 20 rebounds on Feb. 14, while he totaled a season-best 25 rebounds vs. Parkway Central on Feb. 22. He had an all-around strong effort in helping Parkway North to its first district title vs. De Smet on Feb. 24, collecting 12 points, 12 rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks.
A multi-sport athlete, Johnson also excelled for the Vikings on the football field, where he spent time as both a tight end and defensive end. He ranked fourth on the team in tackles in 2011 with 45, including 27 solo stops, while he tied for the team lead with four sacks. He also returned a fumble for 18 yards.
Johnson selected K-State over a number of scholarship offers, including those from Alabama, Colorado State, Memphis, Minnesota and Virginia Tech.
Johnson becomes the 18th player from St. Louis in K-State history, including current sophomore Nino Williams.
Weber also announced that fall signee Laimonas Chatkevicius (Klaipeda, Lithuania/South Kent [Conn.] Prep) has requested and received an unconditional release from his Letter of Intent and is free to sign with another institution.
K-State will return 12 lettermen, including seven with starting experience, in 2012-13. The Wildcats posted a 22-11 overall record this past season, including a 10-8 mark to finish fifth in Big 12 play, and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time in the last five seasons. It was the school's unprecedented sixth consecutive 20-win season and sixth straight appearance in the postseason.
Fans sold out Bramlage Coliseum for the second consecutive year in 2011-12, becoming one of just 14 schools to draw over 12,000 in paid attendance for every regular season home game over the last two seasons (Kentucky, Syracuse, Louisville, North Carolina, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Kansas, Illinois, Michigan State, New Mexico, Vanderbilt, Creighton). Fans interested in joining the season ticket wait-list may call the K-State Ticket Office at 800.221.CATS, or visit www.kstatesports.com. Ticket availability will be determined after the season ticket renewal period in June.

Nota del repertorio
'Dedicated by gracious permission to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II', Gloriana was completed in 1953 and first performed as part of that year's Coronation celebrations. The unjust critical furore surrounding the premiere has now passed into history and the work can be seen as a worthy successor to Billy Budd with which it shares a number of important features. However, the opera is unusual for Britten in that the three acts are generally made up of self-contained set-pieces, rather than the continuous narrative he normally prefers. Although there are scenes of ceremony and pageantry (as befits the occasion for which it was written), the work's dramatic core is the unfolding relationship between Elizabeth I and the Earl of Essex, the Queen torn between her private affection for the Earl and her sense of public duty when he is found guilty of treason and condemned to death.
The sound-world of the opera has an appropriately 'Elizabethan' atmosphere, the famous 'Choral' and 'Courtly Dances' evoking a period flavour without ever lapsing into pastiche. The opera has had a chequered history, but it now seems as though Gloriana has finally taken its rightful place in Britten's operatic oeuvre.

In today's New York Times, David Gonzalez offers a moving portrait of the closing of St. Martin of Tours, a Catholic elementary school in the Bronx, which has served the community for 86 years. He focuses particularly on the school's principal, Sister Nora McArt, who has worked with the children of St. Martin's for more than four decades.
St. Martin's is one of 26 schools in the Archdiocese of New York that will close this month. Most of these schools are in poor, urban areas. Gonzalez himself graduated from St. Martin's in the early 1970s. He writes:
To comfort the afflicted.
And now -- 40 years after I walked down the aisle clutching my diploma -- I returned to fulfill a final work of mercy: to bury the dead.

McClellan to Testify Before House Judiciary Committee
Scott McClellan is making an important stop on Capitol Hill as he continues his book tour to tout that obscure memoir he wrote about being Bush's press secretary. According to The Huffington Post, McClellan has agreed to testify before the House Judiciary Committee about the Valerie Plame identity leak case and possibly other entries in the list of Bush's Greatest Hits during McClellan's time as presidential spokesman.
Sam Stein in The Huffington Post:
The date on the invitation, June 20, was set in advance to accommodate McClellan's schedule, the official said.
McClellan will be the highest-ranking Bush administration official to be pressed by Congress on the Plame affair. Former Bush strategist Karl Rove has refused to testify, citing executive privilege.
And as such, the testimony could be extremely revealing. According to McClellan, the decision to leak Plame's covert identity emanated from the very top of the Bush White House. The move, he wrote, was politically motivated, as officials were peeved at the critical statements about Iraq coming from Plame's husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson. While McClellan said that the president was ultimately misled by his advisers on the matter, he asserted that the episode itself was a stain on the Oval Office – one that led to his disillusionment.

Sound — 8
The amp really is an experience to play. The clean amp models sound authentic; that Vintage Fender tube tone comes through beautifully (and that's not a superlative I use lightly in an unbiased review). I play a Fender American Strat and an American Tele through this amp. The Supersonic was clearly made to suit these guitars, as the Vibrolux mixed with the Tele's tone is superb. The clean settings are perfect for my bluesy playing style. As for the gain, the EQ and dual gain knobs can be adjusted to fit a plethora of styles. On max settings, I can get that grunge/hard rock sound I enjoy, and on lower settings, one can even get an Eric Johnson like sustain. However, metalheads may want to give other amps a look, as the Supersonic can't provide the distortion (without separate effects) to appease many. Another small quirk I have with the amp is it's volume. Even at 65 watts, this amp is very loud. Anything past five is almost ear splitting, and is not necessary unless playing moderate sized venues. Usually this wouldn't be a problem, but the Supersonic's Burn channel tends to sound nicer at higher volume settings, meaning that if one wants to practice with the amp is the garage, getting that perfect burn tone may really annoy the neighbors. Though the actual sound is beautiful, the reverb excellent, and the tonal possibilities impressive, these problems are enough to dock some points off the review.
Overall Impression — 8
For the blues rock style I enjoy playing, this amp really offers it all for me. The impressive reverb and Fender tube tone insured I was happy with the amp. That it compliments my Strat so excellently is just a bonus. Fender offers the amp in both an Oxblood Blonde and a "Black Pepper" cosmetic treatment, of which I own the blonde, and even the cosmetic treatment is top notch and representational of the guitarist's style. The Supersonic is the only tube amp I own (though a Mesa Boogie 5:50 is readily available at my school) and I'm happy with the purchase. Compared to the Marshall's I tired and the similar priced Mesa, I found the Fender best suited my style and needs for the price. Though I occasionally wish for a little more kick to the gain, or a way to quiet it down a tad, this amp has worked well for me and I certainly recommend it to you.
Reliability & Durability — 9
I've owned the amp for quite a while without any problem or hassle. I've read on other sites that people have had problems with the amplifier, though from personal experience I can't say I agree with them. This amp has functioned beautifully from the day I bought it (it was even a floor model for a week or so before I purchased it). I had a minor problem with the foot pedal's button sticking in place, but Fender quickly addressed the problem and I received a replacement that is yet to fail me. I've used the amp for practice in the garage, jamming with other musicians, and playing small to mid sized venues. Though it's heavy to tote around, knowing I have a piece of equipment that functions as it should makes up for it.
Features — 9
In 2006, Fender introduced the Supersonic 112 combo all tube amp into the market. Based on the earlier Prosonic model, the Supersonic is an excellent amp that allows players many different options tonally without sacrificing anything players love about the Vintage models. The Supersonic has a dual clean channels, one based on the Fender 1965 Vibrolux and the other based on the 1965 Bassman (both are selectable via included footswitch). Both the Bassman and Vibrolux setting feature dual EQ for more tonal possibilities as well as that classic Fender reverb that these amps are known for. The Burn channel (also selectable via footswitch) provides the player with dual gain knobs for all types of styles, as well as four EQ settings and a separate volume knob. That the Supersonic offers so many tonal possibilites with only nine knobs is icing on the cake. An effects loop is also included (once again, selectable via the footswitch).

Ajay Goel, Senior Vice President - Industry Business, Strategy, Operations, Cisco India & SAARC
Anyone who has conducted an IT vendor selection process knows that finding an IT vendor who is able and willing to supply the recommended hardware is the easy part. Beyond hardware supply is the tricky process that involves the coming together of distinct organizations, with possibly very different business approaches.
Growing and globally competitive businesses, which see the need to invest today in systems for tomorrow's success, are in more of a crunch. Not only do they need to invest heavily, but also have to expend serious man-hours looking for the most efficient, economical, and appropriate software or hardware.
However, we do see around us numerous IT success stories with a vendor or service provider underpinning. In most such successful cases, a vendor moves beyond the basic role of providing IT hardware or support and makes the effort to understand their customer's business, needs, and strategy. This enables the vendor to make recommendations and offer service solutions that go beyond the customer's current needs while taking into consideration the direction, scalability, response time, logistics, geography, and growth plan.
An IT vendor who works closely with the customer understands and addresses customer's pain points. The vendor is able to take a 'bird's-eye view' and locate and manage root causes. Such a vendor also values the criticality of a particular product or solution at a given time. This facilitates timely deployment, while ensuring uninterrupted running of mission critical systems and applications during the transition and upgrade.
An IT vendor, offering such a value-addition, is likely to have built capability and capacity to offer a deep service relationship to their clients across the board. It follows that only larger vendors are likely to have such bandwidth and resources as to offer such a value-addition drive. For the customer, it is a multiple bonanza to align with an IT vendor of this stature. They not only gain through the consultative approach of the vendor towards problem solving but also through access to global learning, comparable deployments for similar markets or similar global challenges, and overall better levels of experience in managing complex customer deployments.
Even so, these success stories of deployment by IT vendors are not a one way street. They are more comparable to marriages with multiple components to their smooth-functioning. These new rules of engagement could be clubbed under,
- Readiness of the Parties to Engage: Establishing a relationship between vendor and customer before both entities are ready for the relationship; or finding that one of the stakeholders is not fully convinced of the viability can lead to friction during the engagement. Thus both sides need to be conditioned beforehand for what is to come during the deployment.
- Open Communication Channels: Communication is must to ensure that apart from the daily interactions and consulting there is also the channel to address and iron-out issues at the earliest.
- Sharing Best Practices & Learning: The greatest advantage an IT vendor can bring to the table is the experience gained from a similar engagement or installation with another client. This kind of learning enables the customer to realize the potential of their IT systems as well as that of the new deployment.
- Openness to Do Things Differently: Perhaps, one of the most debilitating statements in the corporate world is, "that's how things are done here". To maximize gains from best practices, stakeholders need to approach innovation with an open mind.
- Training & Development: Change can be stressful within an organization and the onus is upon the vendor to ensure that the transition within the customers' business is smooth, factors in suitable training for users, and develops 'super users' who will be advocates of the deployment within the organization.
- Mission-Criticality & Context: It takes a mature vendor to understand the business context of the sale. This is essential to fully understand, which aspects of the business need to run uninterrupted even during a significant IT overhaul.
- Understanding & Agreement on Time-lines: This is one of the most neglected aspects of business relationships. Detailed discussion and break-down of workload, third-party supplier deliveries, and other factors enables an understanding of certain deadlines and then calls for a conscious effort from all concerned to meet it.
The new rules of engagement call for enlightened IT vendors who would don the role of consultant for their customers, and who are committed enough to their customers' business to advocate the most realistic and appropriate solution. This will be the IT vendor who truly succeeds in addressing the needs of their customers, and one who is poised to grow alongside each of their customers.

TOKYO (AP) Sony Corp. said Tuesday that the U.S. Department of Justice is probing its electronics unit.
The company received a subpoena from the Justice Departments antitrust division seeking information about Sonys static random access memory, or SRAM, business, company spokesman Atsuo Omagari said.
Sony intends to cooperate with the investigation, which it described as an industry-wide probe, without elaborating. Omagari declined to provide other details about the probe.
SRAM is a kind of computer memory that is faster and more reliable that DRAM, or dynamic random access memory. It does not need to be refreshed like DRAM, and it is also more expensive.
SRAM is found in relatively small quantities in personal computers. Its also used in disk drives, communications equipment and networking gear.
In 2005, Sony produced $27.7 million worth of SRAM. The product is made by outside manufactures for Sony, which in turn sells the memory chips to other electronics makers, Omagari said.
He would not say who manufactures the chips for Sony or who Sonys customers were.
Earlier this month, U.S.-based chipmaker Cypress Semiconductor Corp. said its SRAM operations were also under investigation by the Justice Department.
A separate U.S. Justice investigation into price-fixing among DRAM companies has so far resulted in more than a dozen charges against individuals and more than $731 million in fines against Samsung Electronics Co., Elpida Memory Inc., Infineon Technologies AG and Hynix Semiconductor Inc.

The purpose of the VNSA Used Book Sale is to raise funds for nonprofit human service agencies: Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation and Literacy Volunteers of Maricopa County. VNSA members work year round preparing and producing one of the largest charitable used book sales in the country.
Almost 60 years ago, VNSA was organized as the Visiting Nurse Service Auxiliary. The VNSA Used Book Sale was begun in 1957 as a fund-raiser for the nonprofit Visiting Nurse Service. The first sale raised about $900. In the mid-1980's the Visiting Nurse Service was purchased by a large hospital corporation. The members of VNSA chose to remain active with nonprofit service agencies directly benefiting our community. Because our Owl Logo was very recognizable in the community, we kept the "VNSA" initials and became Volunteer Nonprofit Service Association. The VNSA Used Book Sale continues, and all sale proceeds benefit local nonprofit service agencies.

When Americans send tributes to their mothers and grandmothers this Sunday, they will be celebrating a holiday that is observed on various days in countries around the world.
In the United States, Mother's Day took root about 150 years ago when West Virginia homemaker Ann Reeves Jarvis began "Mother's Work Day Clubs" to improve poor sanitary conditions in her community, a cause she believed would help lower infant mortality, historians say. Those clubs also cared for wounded soldiers during the Civil War and later began Mother's Friendship Day pacifist events to promote reconciliation after the war.
However, it was Jarvis' daughter, Anna Jarvis, who is credited with founding what we know as Mother's Day. The younger Jarvis envisioned the day as a way to celebrate your mother by spending time with her.
At a church service she organized to honor her mother in 1908, she handed out white carnations, her mother's favorite flower. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed legislation officially naming the second Sunday of May as Mother's Day.
Jarvis eventually disowned the holiday because she felt it had become too commercial. She didn't want children to send printed cards, but personally written letters thanking Mom for what she'd done for them.
Instead of flowers, candies, clothing or jewelry, she would have preferred children offer handmade expressions of love. Most mothers today probably would agree with her. Ask a mother what was her favorite Mother's Day gift and she might recall receiving a drawing or letter with heartfelt sentiment or perhaps a youngster's breakfast effort of slightly burned toast and runny scrambled eggs.
This Sunday, impress Mom or Grandma with a family brunch served at home. Here are a few recipes to get you started on your menu. Some are easy enough for older children to prepare on their own or with some help from Dad or another adult.

WITH the imminent change of use of HMP The Verne on Portland, the Kainos Project, which enabled groups of inmates to live as a community, has now come to an end.
The prison is to become an Immigration Detention Centre in plans confirmed by the Ministry of Justice this week.
A thanksgiving service to mark 16 successful years of the project was held at the prison's chapel where a packed congregation of inmates, clergy and others who have been associated with Kainos over the years were welcomed by the Verne Chaplain Reverend Bill Cave.
The Revd Cave led the service alongside assistant chaplain the Revd Geoff Hebbern, who was acknowleged by all as 'Mr Originator' as it was his dedication and determination as a prison officer that enabled the project to start at The Verne.
The service was contributed to by members of the chaplaincy team, reflections were related by those who have been involved in its progress, including inmates, and a big contribution came from five of the prison's 'resident' musicians.
Inmate 'Blue' read his own poem in praise of the Revd Hebbern's work and presented him with a medal and certificate.
The Revd Cave said: "This marks the end of Kainos here but I am grateful to know that it will carry on in other prisons, including Guys Marsh."
Blue, 56, has spent a total of 18 years in prison, the past 14 months at HMP The Verne and he said: "Serving time made me get used to being alone so it was wonderful to come here and become part of the Kainos Community, just like being part of a family again."
Welsh Chris has been back home, working in an electronics factory for over three years having completed a nine-year sentence including three at The Verne.
He said: "I am now leading a happy and successful life for which I give praise to Kainos."
Revd Hebbern said: "I am pleased that Kainos will be carrying on elsewhere as it has made a positive contribution to life at HMP The Verne."

Join us on the new C-Pop podcast where Taylor and Jessilyn discuss, debate and sometimes deride pop culture with a strong sense of humor and a focus on Christ. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.
It's no secret that singer Katy Perry is not living the Christian lifestyle she was raised in. She's once again breaking all the rules with her recent declaration that she plans to have children with or without a husband.
"I don't need a dude," the 29-year-old entertainer told Rolling Stone for the Aug. 14 issue, where she appears on the cover. She mentioned her friends, homosexual actors Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, who have twins.
"It's 2014! We are living in the future; we don't need anything. I don't think I'll have to, but we'll see. I'm not anti-men. I love men. But there is an option if someone doesn't present himself."
But don't expect Perry to become a mom anytime soon, as she continues to pursue her career.
"I see that my sister is completely devoted to [her] kid, 24 hours a day," she explains. "And so far, the little girl is so alert, so aware, so conscious, so beautiful, so happy, and I want to be doing that in the right time, and that's not in the next two years, you know? Maybe it's in a five-year plan, but I need to really be able to focus 100 percent of my attention on it. I don't really want to take the child on tour. Not until, like, birth through [age] 5 is over."
Perry is no stranger to controversy. Christian artists are suing her over alleged song theft, and Muslims have charged her with blasphemy. Some in the church are calling for prayer for Perry and other young Christian artists who seem to have lost their way.

text: Dialogic (NASDAQ: DLGC), a leading provider of products and technologies that enable operators to provide – and subscribers to enjoy – an enhanced mobile experience, today announced that The Tolly Group, an independent testing agency, has awarded its performance certification to Dialogic® PowerMedia™ Extended Media Server (PowerMedia XMS) Release 1.1. PowerMedia XMS is a powerful software media server that enables real-time audio and video communications solutions for mobile and broadband environments on common datacenter server infrastructure. The Tolly Group testing confirmed that PowerMedia XMS 1.1 meets or exceeds criteria in areas of media server density, host CPU and memory utilization, call processing, media latency and voice quality as defined by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) for media latency and the PESQ algorithm for voice quality. In today's networks, media servers are used to deliver high density value added network services such as conferencing, messaging and IVR applications. "We are pleased to have worked with Dialogic to conduct these benchmark testing reports on PowerMedia XMS," said Kevin Tolly, founder of The Tolly Group. "For PowerMedia XMS 1.1, Tolly was able to successfully measure and document areas of critical media server performance for conferencing services including call rates, latency and audio quality at a session density of 2,000 channels." The full Tolly Group test report can be found here. Although demand for audio conferencing minutes has continued to grow worldwide, competitive pricing pressure has led to a decline in revenue per minute, putting severe margin pressure on service providers. Conference service providers are seeking cost effective, flexible media processing that also unlocks the profit potential of video and broadband mobility, while efficiently delivering core audio conferencing sessions. PowerMedia XMS can help reduce the cost of deployment and operation of audio and video conferencing services because it runs on common datacenter server infrastructure (including cloud-based computing infrastructure) which can be readily scaled as needed.

Ringtone saves bride's blushes
A tinny Here Comes the Bride ringtone came to the rescue of a bride who was left without an organist to play her down the aisle.
After a slight delay to the church service, while the congregation waited for the missing organist, roof tiler Darren Medd came up with the ringtone solution.
Mr Medd, from Merthyr Tydfil, remembered he had the necessary tune stored on his mobile and played it out loud to pass the time.
But then the minister stepped in and asked him to play it for real to allow the service to get under way.
Mr Medd was asked to hold his mobile up to a microphone and play the tune as bride Tracey Muxworthy, 30, from Trecynon, near Aberdare, south Wales, made her way down the aisle to tie the knot with groom Ian Davies.
"I knew I had the bridal march on my phone so I stuck it on and everyone had a really good laugh," said 35-year-old Mr Medd.
"About 10 minutes later the organist still wasn't there so the minister came and asked me if I could put it on again. "I went to the front row and he brought a microphone round.
"It was probably the fastest wedding march you'll ever hear."
Miss Muxworthy's mother Joyce, from Penywaun, Aberdare, said her daughter, 30, had not been put out by the alternative tune.
"My husband said she was smirking all over her face," she said.
"I think everybody had a giggle."
The organist, who had thought the wedding was booked for 4pm, he turned up just in time to play for the newly-weds as they left Green Street Methodist Church in Aberdare.
The happy couple, having first met in Blackpool, chose the tune Oh, I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside, instead of the traditional Wedding March by Mendelssohn.

ORONO, Maine — Current and former 4-H members of all ages are invited to the Bangor State Fairgrounds July 27 to take part in a commemorative group photo celebrating the 100th birthday of the University of Maine Cooperative Extension 4-H Program.
The photo session is at 5 p.m. on the hillside between the midway and agricultural area, where members and alumni will form a human "100."
The commemorative photo is one of many events statewide in celebration of the 100th birthday of 4-H in Maine. The UMaine Extension in Penobscot County Leaders' Association, which has coordinated and maintained Old MacDonald's Farm at the Bangor State Fair for the past 18 years, will set up a 100-year 4-H timeline in this year's exhibition. Past and present 4-Hers are asked to contribute stories and photos to the timeline. And as part of annual fundraising activities, 100th birthday helium-filled balloons will be on sale.
This year's fair will again feature many 4-H shows — beef, dairy, dog, horse, sheep, goat, and market lamb and steer — and displays in the Exhibition Hall (which this year is under the grandstand), reflecting the wide variety of 4-H projects — from science, robotics and GPS/GIS to aquaculture, theater and public speaking. For people interested in geocaching, the county has placed several new caches, which feature some great 4-H treats.
For more information or to request a disability accommodation, call 942-7396.

>Gears and Wears>Nike+ GPS or Soleus GPS 2.0?
I am choosing between these two GPS watches. I only need to track my distance and pace and I do not need any other features. Also, other brands are out of the question as these are the ones within my budget and are readily available. I am leaning towards the Nike+ since it is advertised as being powered by Tom-Tom but I am seeing mixed reviews with this. Any experiences in using these two units?
Why not the Garmin forerunner 10? Its cheaper than either of those two and has just the features you're looking for and not much extra. Also it seems to have the most accurate GPS on the market.

My job was simple and straight forward. It was a 75 year old hard wood side chair that need to have the seat re-caned. Matthew quoted me a price which I felt was fair and returned the finished product as ordered and described. I highly recommend Matthew for his professionalism and quality of work. You can trust him with you valuable heirloom or treasured antique and expect a custom qualified restoration.

My child's secretary was in a sad state of repair. Its cover was in two pieces, and there were cracks in the wood and hardware needed replacing. Now it looks so great that my family did not recognize it. The work was done well and on time. I'm a happy customer!

Matthew refinished an antique sideboard for me, and the finish is beautiful. He also repaired some veneer on another piece and you would never know it had ever been damaged. He loves what he does and puts his heart in his work. I am so pleased with my new finishes and highly recommend this company.
