Producer Chris Morgan Talks Arnold's 'The Legend of Conan' Sequel
by Ben Pearson
December 3, 2012
Source: Hero Complex
Back in October, we were surprised to find out that Arnold Schwarzenegger had signed on to reprise his iconic role of Conan the Barbarian in a new film called The Legend of Conan that ignores the existence of Jason Momoa's 2011 reboot. No director has been set yet, but this one will be a direct sequel to 1984's Conan the Destroyer that picks up with Arnold as an aging warrior (he'll be 67 years old when the film comes out in 2014), and Hero Complex recently spoke with screenwriter/producer Chris Morgan about how he convinced Arnold to come back to the character, what we can expect from the new sequel and more.
Because Morgan is contracted to write another Fast and Furious sequel for Universal, he may not be able to write The Legend of Conan as previously thought. But if the timing doesn't work out, he'll handpick the writer and he'll still be producing it either way. He's definitely passionate about bringing the character back, and here's what he told Hero Complex about how he convinced Schwarzenegger to return to the role:
"To put yourself out there in your 60s? As Conan the Barbarian? I could see why he'd hesitate. You're really putting yourself out there…[The Legend of Conan is] Not a reboot, not a remake. Just an update. Where has the character been all this time? A catch-up with Conan."
Apparently that take on the story struck a chord with Schwarzenegger at a time when the former governor of California is looking to reclaim his status as one of Hollywood's blockbuster kings. Stallone had a similar resurgence with his Rocky and Rambo characters a few years ago, and I'm sure the success of those films was on Schwarzenegger's mind when he made this decision. But how will the character of Conan be portrayed in this new film?
"He's not going out and fighting battles, but he ends up getting drawn into something. And he has to access the barbarian he was in his youth. I love that Conan has been many things in his life, notably a pirate, a major tactician and a commander of men. In this movie, we're going to tap into some of those things – things you haven't seen on screen yet."
Sounds like we'll see Conan in more of a leadership role this time around, but surely he'll still be swinging that oversized sword at some point, right?
"I want the warrior whose joints have started to fuse together, who has to crack the cartilage so he can pick up a sword again. I want the guy who's not necessarily lost a step, but there's some rust he has to shake off. I want to embrace that. It makes it a greater hero story. Conan needs to be faced with challenges. The greatest challenge to him isn't the armies that are set before him. It's, on some level, self-doubt, a little bit of slowing down and forcing yourself to be heroic beyond what people expect of you. What I don't want is for him to step back in and look the same. That would defeat the purpose of our story."
For the film's sake, I hope that Morgan's schedule works out where he can write this along with his Fast and Furious work because he definitely sounds like he has a good vision for where he wants to take this character in 2014. I like that they're not trying to make Arnold seem like the young buck he once was, but it remains to be seen whether or not watching an aging barbarian shake off the cobwebs and get thrust back into action will be entertaining for modern audiences, considering how poorly the sword and sandal genre has been received recently. I also wonder how much magic and fantasy we'll see in this sequel, since Destroyer - which was chock full of mystical elements - didn't fare as well as the original film at the box office. Time will tell, but it sounds like Arnold is convinced that this is a good idea. Stay tuned.

This week Kathy takes on Minnesota VS Green Bay, Cleveland VS Oakland, and Philadelphia VS Dallas.
So, you've decided to take the last of the Thanksgiving Day leftovers out of the freezer this weekend, let's see what some of the teams will be eating…
The Yum Kitchen and Bakery in Minnesota suggests making a Thanksgiving pizza with your leftovers. Just top a pizza crust with mashed potatoes spread thin, gravy, diced turkey, corn and mozzarella cheese. Pop it in the oven for a couple minutes to heat through, serve and enjoy… Sounds like something you'd find at the bottom of your garbage can…like Minnesota.
Green Bay wins!!!
A chef in Cleveland suggests using leftover stuffing and turkey by adding it to a dish they eat there called sauerkraut balls… which, sounds like something that needs to be topped off with a sprinkling of Gold Bond.
Oakland wins!!
You know what they use Thanksgiving leftovers for in Philadelphia? To make something called scrapple. Scrapple is typically made of hog offal, such as the head, often the entire head, heart, liver, and on Sunday you can add the spleen of Eagles quarterback Nick Foles .
Cowboys win!!

DeGroote School of Business dean appointed to second term
"The DeGroote School of Business is at an important point in its history," says Ilene Busch-Vishniac, provost and vice-president academic. "I'm confident that under Dean Bates' leadership the School is well-positioned to strengthen existing programs at the Hamilton campus and successfully expand to Burlington."
Paul Bates was first appointed dean in 2004. He came to McMaster after a lengthy career in investment dealing and wealth management. He sits on several boards and is a member of the Ontario Securities Commission.
During his first term, Bates led the effort to expand the School of Business to a new Burlington campus. Earlier this year both the City of Burlington and Region of Halton approved the project and invested $10-million towards the campus.
"I look forward to continuing to work with our world-class faculty, staff and students as we enter this exciting next phase for the DeGroote School of Business," Bates says. "It is a privilege to be part of a team committed to strategically advancing the School and McMaster."

'Tangerine' orange tomato has higher levels of the anti-oxidant lycopene than red tomatoes.
We've all seen the studies saying red tomatoes contain high amounts of the anti-oxidant lycopene. Lycopene has been shown to protect cells and essential fatty acids from breaking down in the body and contributes to better health. While tomatoes, specifically processed red tomatoes, were originally thought to contain the highest amounts of lycopene, researchers at the USDA's Agricultural Research Service in Davis, California have now found that orange is a good color for health, too.
Researchers asked 21 men and women not to eat any tomato products for a one month period. They then fed the participants chili made either with a common red tomato variety or with ' Tangerine ' orange tomatoes for one week and then tested their blood afterward. They found those who ate the chili made with 'Tangerine' orange tomatoes had higher lycopene levels in their blood. They concluded that 'Tangerine' is a better source of lycopene than red tomatoes. It seems the lycopene in the orange colored fruits is better absorbed in the body.
So mix up your colored tomatoes this summer in the garden, growing some orange ones like 'Tangerine' to keep your body at optimum health.

The confounding effects of consumer heterogeneity on model-based inference of attribute non-attendance
Several empirical studies conclude that a majority of economic agents ignore some of observed product attributes when choosing among discrete alternatives. Many of these ndings are based on latent class logit with partially constrained support points wherein the share of each point is interpreted as the probability of ignoring particular attribute(s). We note that because the logit kernel is mixed over these points to approximate unmodeled interpersonal taste variation during the estimation stage, the interpretation of estimated shares is necessarily ambiguous. Using simulated examples, we explain why common forms of unobserved consumer heterogeneity can be confounded with attribute non-attendance.

Top prospect Jones sticks with it
Top prospect Jones sticks with it
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- Badly wanting to play in the stadium and city where he hopes to soon be a resident, Cardinals Double-A outfield prospect Daryl Jones convinced team officials that his injured left quadriceps was 100 percent healthy when he was activated from the disabled list for the XM All-Star Futures Game in July. The only problem, however, is that it appears the Cardinals' top hitting prospect wasn't being completely truthful. Jones reinjured his quad during the game at Busch Stadium on July 12 and was placed back on the disabled list the next day. He hasn't played since. "That game was important to me," Jones said, all but admitting that he played the game at less than full health. "I really wanted to play in it. It was unfortunate to hurt my leg, but I don't regret it. It was a fun game, and now all I can do is sit back and get healthy.
"You don't want to miss time, but the experience, I don't regret the experience. I will just have to make up for lost time when I get back." With the recent trade of third baseman Brett Wallace to Oakland for Matt Holliday, Jones became the Cardinals' top offensive prospect. And while he was eager to showcase his skills to St. Louis fans last month, it looks like the Cardinals may have made a mistake by letting him play. "I think that might have been a little premature to put him in that game, and that's unfortunate because it is a great opportunity," said Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak. "But you'd probably give it back if you knew you weren't going to miss all of this time. I've thought about that myself, in that probably, if we could do it again, we'd just not let him play." Jones injured the quad while rounding second base, ironically on a ball that fell over the fence for a home run. He was able to convince the powers that be that he was healthy enough to play after passing several on-field tests and even playing in a game for Springfield on the day he was activated before traveling to St. Louis. Whether Jones was actually healthy or just a good faker may never be known. "Whether he was hiding something from us or not, I don't know," said Springfield manager Pop Warner. "But we tested him and he ran the bases and I made sure that he ran hard a couple of days to make sure there was no soreness in there whatsoever beforehand. He played in the game in Frisco before he went to the game and said he felt great, but it was just an unfortunate thing." The injury came at a bad time for Jones, who had just rediscovered a flaw in his swing and was beginning to get hot. After struggling early in the season, Jones had his batting average up to .283 with 44 runs scored when he went down over a month ago. "Probably the second and third months of the season, it was kind of shaky," Jones said. "But then right up towards the Futures Game, I felt like I was getting back in my rhythm. I felt really good at the plate and really good in BP. "I just needed to get back to that comfort level that I hadn't been feeling for the last couple of months. I was really feeling good when I went up for the Futures Game." Jones was heavily recruited as a wide receiver coming out of high school. After receiving 26 football scholarship offers from schools such as Texas, Florida, Miami and Nebraska, Jones signed to play baseball at Rice University because it was close to home. But he never made it to college, signing with the Cardinals after he was drafted in the third round in 2005. The 5-foot-11, 180-pound Jones struggled out of the gate -- hitting .248 in 2006 and only .217 in 419 at-bats for Class A Quad Cities in 2007 -- making some wonder if he may have chosen the wrong sport. "There's always those thoughts," Jones said. "But baseball is a game where there is ups and downs and you have to realize that. Those thoughts pop into your head all of the time, but that doesn't mean you act on it. It's just part of the game. I'm sure I'm not the only player that has thought about why they were playing baseball. It's the type of game where you have a good game and think you should be in the big leagues the next day, and then the next day you go hitless and think, 'Man, why am I here?' That's just the game of baseball." But Jones continued to work, often dialing up Cardinals outfielder Colby Rasmus for tips and advice after the two became good friends when they played together in Johnson City after being drafted in the same year. He finally started hitting in 2008, opening the year at High-A Palm Beach but being promoted to Double-A after hitting .326 in 81 games. The left-handed-hitting Jones continued to hit in Springfield, hitting .290 with six home runs in 36 games to finish the year. Jones' decision to sign with the Cardinals was starting to pay off for both sides. "It's hard either way, whether I choose football or baseball," Jones said. "You don't know how it's going to work out. From the outside looking in, I can see people saying, 'Why didn't he choose football?' But it's one of those things where if you don't play baseball, you don't understand it. Baseball has always been my first love and I definitely think I made the right decision. "You have to have passion to work from being a .200 hitter when you had a chance to play football." Thanks to his breakout 2008 season, the hype surrounding Jones increased heading into 2009. And while the attention will only get bigger now that Wallace has been dealt, Jones is just thankful for the opportunity to play the game he loves. "Lots of people want to be in this situation," Jones said. "I can only be thankful to be in this situation and still be progressing and getting better, especially when i struggled my first couple of seasons. That's part of baseball, learn from your mistakes and get better. "That's what a lot of people take for granted. I hit like .200 my first two seasons, and now I am in Double-A and I am still one of the younger guys in the league. Seeing how I have progressed, it's a good feeling knowing that I have matured as a baseball player." Now Jones just needs to get healthy. The outfielder should return to action this weekend or early next week, but the Cardinals plan to be extra careful so that Jones can remain on the field once he comes back. "He's been pretty consistent for us all year long," Warner said. "That injury really set him back, but hopefully when he comes back, he can take off right where he left off."

Spurs edge closer to Becks deal
Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp hopes to tie up a two-month loan for David Beckham by Sunday, following a week of talks with his club LA Galaxy.
• Macca: Becks can return for England
• Galaxy approve Becks loan
• Tottenham seal Khumalo deal
• On The Move: live transfer blog
Former England captain Beckham, 35, has been the subject of interest from numerous sides but is now close to a return to the club where he honed his skills as a youngster at Spurs' School of Excellence.
Tottenham boss Redknapp says there is a "good chance" a deal will happen for Beckham and hopes the former Manchester United midfielder will come to watch the club's FA Cup third-round match against Charlton on Sunday.
"I think he could be here on Sunday possibly if what I'm being told on the grapevine is right," Redknapp said. "The clubs are talking and there is a good chance it will happen.
"Hopefully he will come to the game, I'm sure. I'm not 100% sure but he could be here on Sunday."
If Beckham's arrival is secured this weekend, he could well make his debut against Manchester United in the Premier League on January 16.
Redknapp is confident the deal will go though and is convinced that Beckham will provide an ability to cross the ball that was lacking in the Londoners' 2-1 defeat to Everton in midweek.
"I wouldn't bring him here if I didn't think he had something to offer,'' Redknapp said. "We're not talking about long-term but I'd love to have him around the place.
"He would lift the level of the other players, people would respond to playing with him and having him around and he would be a good influence around the place.
"He could be a massive player for us. He has the ability to do some of the things that we don't do well. The other night we played Peter Crouch up front. Alan Hutton hits him with one great ball, he heads the ball down and Rafa van der Vaart scores.
"Other than that he (Crouch) didn't get too many opportunities because we didn't put the ball where we should be putting the ball. David Beckham has that ability to drop the ball on his head 19 times out of 20 and that's important.''
However, despite Redknapp's optimism, ESPNsoccernet understands there is no deal as yet and that there is still some hard bargaining to do. The player is on standby to be unveiled to the Spurs fans on Sunday.
Talks are scheduled to resume on Saturday between the two clubs.
Meanwhile, Redknapp has played down the prospect of Tottenham signng Andy Carroll from Newcast, despite reports that he made an approach for the striker. "I have never discussed it with Alan Pardew,'' Redknapp said. "Alan doesn't want to sell him as far as I know so that's the end of that one.''
Winger David Bentley, a target for the Magpies, will leave the club, but Liverpool target Vedran Corluka will be staying at White Hart Lane.
"David Bentley will go on loan because he wants to play. He is frustrated at the moment,'' he said. "The chairman is dealing with it. I suppose it depends on whether we get a good deal for the club.
"He (Corluka) is very much part of my plans here. He is certainly not available on loan.''

Tokyo-Fuji Five Lake-Takayama-Tokyo
Tokyo-Fuji Five Lake-Takayama-Tokyo
I am planning a solo trip to Japan, arrive at Narita airport on 24 Dec 2016 morning and will depart from Tokyo on 1 Jan 2017.
Below is my travel itinerary:
My questions as following:
Hi there,
1.) I do think it would be worth it to consider a 7 day JR Pass here. A return Tokyo - Takayama alone is 30,020 yen, while a 7 day JR Pass is 29,110yen, from there you would also have 7 days of unlimited travel.
2.) With the JR Pass, the best route would be to take the Fujikyu train from Kawaguchiko to Otsuki station, from Otsuki use the JR to travel to Tokyo station, then use the Hikari Shinkansen to Nagoya and transfer there to the Hida Wide View Express bound for Takayama.
Hope this helps,

The regulatory reform bill currently before Congress will supposedly impose financial reregulation, reversing the alleged deregulation of the past 30 years. What deregulation? Can anyone point to the removal of a particular legal or regulatory barrier in the last two decades as a cause of the recent financial crisis? If so, will the new legislation restore this barrier, asks Arnold Kling, an adjunct scholar with the Cato Institute.
The financial crisis is often blamed on Gramm-Leach-Bliley, a 1999 law that ratified the de facto breakdown of the separation between commercial banks and investment banks (which raise capital and market securities for governments and corporations):
- Repealing the law would return restrictions on banks' lines of business back to the Glass-Steagall Act passed in the Depression.
- But the new bill does not repeal Gramm-Leach-Bliley, and there is not much connection between it and the crisis.
- In fact, to restore the distinction between commercial banking and investment banking would require an entirely new law.
- This is because Glass-Steagall did not contemplate such financial market innovations as money market funds, mortgage-backed securities or credit default swaps -- all of which raise the question of whether they fall under commercial banking or investment banking.
Some point to government policies that encouraged home ownership as the cause of the crisis. However, property bubbles took place around the same time in many other countries, including the United Kingdom and Spain. These property bubbles cannot be blamed on U.S. housing policy. Moreover, this bill does not repeal any of the subsidies, such as the income tax deduction for mortgage interest, that encourage home buying, explains Kling.
Two federally chartered financial institutions, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, bought and sold mortgage-backed securities, and provided financing for individuals without the income necessary to repay them. But the proposed law does nothing to rein-in the mortgage giants, says Kling.
Federal Reserve monetary policy helped fuel the housing bubble with low interest rates, but the most important cause of the crisis was a change in capital regulations. That was not deregulation, and it will not be reversed by the legislation, says Kling.

My grandma's favourite dessert comes from Coffee or Tea in the McCully Shopping Center. Plush, little sponge cake rolls stuffed with cream. Sold in sets of 12 for $7.
The soft chocolate rolls comes with cherry speckled cream. Aren't they just too cute for words? ^_^
And the vanilla scented rolls have plain whipped cream. Clean and simple.
Happy Friday!

Athens, June 4 (IANS) Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on Thursday that progress has been made on the country's debt repayment arrangements but it will still need a few more days to clinch a deal.
His meeting with European Commission (EC) president Jean-Claude Juncker and Eurogroup president Jeroen Dijsselbloem was conducted "in a positive mood", Tsipras said, adding that he welcomed the creditors' proposal on primary surplus, Xinhua news agency reported.
But some other proposals by the creditors were unacceptable, he said, referring to proposed measures on pensions and taxes.
Talks will continue in the coming days, Tsipras said, adding that he hoped for a "realistic" agreement that is close to Greek proposals.
"It was a good and constructive meeting," the European Commission said in a statement after the four-hour meeting in Berlaymont building, the headquarters of the European Union (EU).
"Progress was made in understanding each other's positions on the basis of various proposals," the statement said.
Greece is in negotiations with its international creditors for a cash-for-reform deal. It faces mounting pressure as it is due to make a repayment of 300 million euros ($329 million) to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Friday.
Greek officials have repeatedly said that without further international funding, the country will not be able to repay the amount before the deadline.

TONY Mowbray is hoping history repeats itself as he attempts to guide his Middlesbrough side to promotion this season.
The Teessiders might have endured a difficult start to the year, losing five games in a row before securing a much-needed win over Leeds on Tuesday, but Mowbray only needs to look back to his playing days to see that a rocky turn of the year is no barrier to promotion.
Back in the 1987-88 season, a Middlesbrough side with Mowbray as skipper failed to win five matches in a row before the end of January.
Loading article content
Having topped the table at the start of December, they slipped to fifth position before recovering to a cement a play-off place in the final few weeks of the season.
Their play-off campaign ended with a two-legged win over Chelsea, and with the current Boro side lying sixth ahead of this afternoon's trip to Crystal Palace, Mowbray is hoping for a similarly strong finish this time around.
"There's lots of examples of Boro being nowhere but coming late to achieve something at the end of the season," said the Middlesbrough manager. "We were in a very similar position in the season I went up to the First Division as a player.
"We were 11 points off the top two when we got to this stage of the season, but still got promoted at the end. We were struggling for a result round about this time of year, but ended up going up via the play-offs.
"Let's be judged on where we are at the end of the season, like we were in '88. I would be very disappointed if we didn't accrue more points and finish higher in the league than we did last year."
To do that, Boro will have to improve on their form since the turn of the year, although Mowbray has been keen to downplay suggestions that the recent five-game losing run was representative of a deep-rooted malaise.
Boro are not clicking as well as they did in the early months of the season, but remain well placed ahead of their trip to Selhurst Park, and aside from leaders Cardiff City, no one else is stringing together a long sequence of positive results.
The Teessiders continue to boast a healthy four-point gap to seventh-placed Brighton, and with this season's Championship more competitive than ever, Mowbray is urging his club's players and supporters to retain a sense of perspective in the remainder of the season.
"We can probably afford to lose six or seven more matches, win eight and still qualify for the play-offs," he said. "Nobody remembers how you achieve promotion if you do it.
"Swansea are sitting in the top eight in the Premier League at the moment, and no one mentions the fact that they only scraped out of the Championship in sixth position.
"If we were to win the play-offs at a canter, who's to say that in two seasons time, we couldn't be sitting in the top eight of the Premier League? If we did that, nobody would be talking about how we got there."
A win today would improve their position further, although the omens are hardly positive with Boro having lost six of their last seven matches on the road.
That sequence includes a desperately disappointing 4-0 defeat at Ipswich, although it also features narrow defeats at Birmingham and Leeds in matches that could easily have ended in a Middlesbrough win.
"We have two very tough away games coming up, and we haven't really picked up enough points this year away from home," said Mowbray, who will also take his side to Burnley on Tuesday "We see these two games as an opportunity to try to reverse that trend.
"We need to try to find a way to win football matches away from home. We've won five in the league and four in the cups away from home, but we would like to have won a couple more.
"There have been games we felt we shouldn't have lost but came away with nothing, so maybe we need to start looking at a formula that better ensures we start collecting points away from home."
Today's game pits Boro against the side directly above them in the league table, and Mowbray is quick to identify Wilfried Zaha as Crystal Palace's biggest threat.
The 20-year-old scored when Palace knocked Boro out of the Carling Cup last season, and has been loaned back to Selhurst Park following last month's £15m move to Manchester United.
"He's got all the assets you need to succeed," said Mowbray. "He's got speed, power, a change of direction and pace, and goals - that's not a bad catalogue of assets to have as a footballer wanting to play in the Premier League.
"He's going to play for Manchester United, and he'll be introduced slowly and be in the perfect place to get advice from the likes of (Ryan) Giggs and (Paul) Scholes.
"Zaha is going to a club where the influences around him will ultimately give him every chance of being a top Premier League player."

Photographer's Note
A "busy" view from the Haifa RR-platform, all in one
The locomotive, two cruise ships, one is already puffing smoke,
8 cranes and warehouses on port, and the station lamp-poles & clock.
A roof-tiles line on upper right-side, was left deliberately to add a "frame" - but did not included the whole, due to some disturbence there.
Thought to post something different.
Location of the RR station in Haifa: 32.822, 34.997

Hello Ike,
There is indeed much to see in this busy scene, which is pleasantly lit and has very good colours. The line of lamp poles creates some interesting graphism and gives the image depth. I rather like it.
lousat (103153) 2012-11-22 8:53
Hi Ike,very very busy,a great opportunity to take a lot of things in the single pic,very nice idea and great details everywhere,original view on the modern wolrd of your country.Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano
jcpix (14024) 2012-11-22 8:58
Definitely a lot going on here Ike, but for anyone that has traveled it invokes a unique feeling of adventure and excitement around such areas. Although there's not one specific subject or anything in particular, it's that emotion that comes through for me with this photo. Nice arrangement of this platform to showcase the different forms of transportation.

Hi Ike,
this scene you capture is so busy. Wonderful composition of transpotration with so many details. Great photo work and presentation. Well done. Thank you Ike.
All the best,
ourania (51103) 2012-11-22 10:17
Shalom Ike,
you found a great point of view and composed your picture very skillfully so that each of the elements finds its place. (Only the little black shape at the upper right corner looks a little at a loss:)You have managed the light, the contrasts and the sharpness in a wonderful way. Along with the excellent dynamic perspective, they contribute greatly to the comfortable legibility of this "busy view". I feel I've learned a lot about the platform and the port from this picture. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely evening,

a busy scene but quite interesting, nice combinations of blue and white colours ( the colours of the Israeli flag )
I like the design of the light poles ( tilted backwards )
Ike..... it is good from time to time to post something different and unusual.
I enjoyed looking at this photo.

really busy picture,with so many different things to admire.I like photos showing other,maybe less known sides of the cities,like this one.Great combination of transport and industrial side of Haifa.Excellently composed scene with perfectly placed lamps creating diagonal line through the frame.
Have a nice evening

Hi Ike,
I like port cranes. They are very photogenic so that I have even created a theme "Cranes by Mariusz". They are not pretty but there is something special about them.
Very well spotted port composition here with industrial feeling.

Hi Ike,
Looks like a peaceful day in Israel. Hopefully it is in peace forever. Wish you the best.
raszid62 (18515) 2012-11-28 2:26
I imagine there must be a buzz here. Big cities are very noisy. Here I see a communication center; bus station, rail and ferry port. In the background I can see even port cranes. Very good image quality.
הצהריים טובים. אני מתאר לעצמי שחייב להיות כאן buzz. ערים גדולות הן מאוד רועשות. הנה אני רואה את מרכז תקשורת, תחנת אוטובוס, רכבת ונמל מעבורת. ברקע ניתן לראות אפילו מנופי נמל. איכות תמונה טובה מאוד. .

Hello Ike,
You're capturing well this place by a good angle and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see various objects of ship/cranes/warehouses on port and locomobile/platform/poles with lamp on railway station as you note. Here looks like a busy place.
Kind regards,

Royal Portrush champion Charlene has a busy summer ahead
Royal Portrush has a new champion golfer.
Charlene Reid completed her first Irish win with victory in the Leinster Scratch Cup after a commanding performance in the final at The Island in Dublin.
She was never behind in a one-sided decider against County Carlow's Karen Delaney which she won five and four.
"It was my first Irish title and I was delighted to win it," said 22-year-old Charlene.
"I played really well and kept it steady all the way round which you have to do at a tight course like The Island."
Charlene, who is currently working in the pro shop at Ballyclare Golf Club, finished second qualifier after the opening two strokeplay rounds then eased past Laura McCarthy of Muskerry in the first matchplay round three and two.
In a tight quarter-final she saw off Woodbrook's Sue Phillips two and one, sealing victory with a par on the 17th green.
Then in the semi-final she took on Masserene's Lucy Simpson and emerged triumphant three and two.
"I won the second and third holes and that helped settle me down and I was still two up after nine," she said. "Then I won the tenth, halved 11, won 12 and 13th and halved the next to win."
A graduate from Pfeiffer University in North Carolina, she is aiming to turn professional soon.
"I'd love to teach and coach the game and hopefully one day return to America to coach a university team," she said.
In the meantime she has a busy summer coming up starting with the Irish Strokeplay and then the Ulster ladies Championship at her home Portrush course.

COUNCILLOR James Hansen has called on the council to admit their timed parking changes in Maryborough were wrong.
New four-hour signs were erected earlier this year in the CBD including Kent, Richmond and Wharf Sts, in areas which used to be all-day parking, drawing the ire of some drivers.
Wednesday's debate between councillors came after rural Cr Hansen called for a review into the parking changes, with a report to be provided on October 21.
"It's time to admit it was a wrong decision and move on," he said.
Mayor Gerard O'Connell said the council was always going to do a review.
"It's not about a right and wrong, it's about getting an outcome that's best," he said.
Cr Hansen's call for a report was rejected by seven votes to four.
Maryborough councillor Daniel Sanderson followed with a motion of his own, calling for a review to begin in October.
Cr Sanderson's motion was passed 6-4 and the council will do a review into the Maryborough parking strategy in October.
You cannot have people parking in the main city street all day including business owners & workers.
Shoppers go into the city, do their business over an hour or two & leave. Parking must be available to the shoppers not to shop workers in town.
All day parkers can park on the shop property or just outside of the CBD if they want to park all day.
The complainers about max times for central city parking need to get out from under their rocks & realize the new parking initiative will help revitalize the city centre.
A vacant lot in the city where a multi-level carpark can be built by council or a developer for all day parkers, but they pay for it just like in any other city centre…

Mix of new and old faces on board as FCO looks to the future in business opportunities in the Fraser Coast
THE new board members of the previously embattled tourism entity, Fraser Coast Opportunities have been announced, featuring a mix of new and old faces.
Fraser Coast USQ executive manager Brett Langabeer, Stockland Hervey Bay centre manager Paul Kelsey and former CEO of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, Libby Anstis are the three new members of the FCO board.
Southern Cross Media Fraser Coast and Bundaberg general manager Greig Bolderrow and Fraser Coast man, Dr Paul Cotton successfully re-applied for their positions, with Dr Cotton replacing Mayor Gerard O'Connell as chair.
Cr O'Connell said he was pleased with the mix of new and old faces selected.
"They have varied skills, including running large organisations, and are passionate about the Fraser Coast," he said
The five members have been appointed for two years.

*Comment-So how is the new team going to change anything when previous members are in control of the panel?
We shall wait & see I suppose..Hi Paul. Doug Kelsey's son.
FRASER COAST Start of mullet season has an issue
COAST mullet fisherman Kevin Cannon's small but experienced team has had a weather-delayed start to this year's season.
Fraser Coast Chronicle has got to be one of the best provicial newspapers in Australia without a doubt.
Fishermen to his north and south have had success but so far, this winter has only provided the Mudjimba-based veteran "a little hatful".
The ocean temperature has yet to drop to the suitable 20-degree mark and south- westerly winds which he desires are yet to blow in.
Traditionally, early June is when mullet start running in beach gutters.
"It doesn't really look like we are going to get a south- westerly for a couple of weeks," Mr Cannon said.
"It's just been a case of wait and see."
He had heard of good hauls at Caloundra as well as Noosa but as yet, no luck in between.
Mr Cannon, 67, said his crew members were aged 66 and 65 with the youngest member about 45.
He has been walking the beaches with nets since the late '50s but struggles to see how younger generations could take up the craft.
He said the possibility of laws changing or restrictions being added meant it was unlikely banks would loan the money needed to get started.
"There's no certainty in it for the young fellows," he said.
Queensland Boating and Fisheries Patrol district manager Greg Bowness said the traditional winter migration of the sea mullet provided commercial operators with an important opportunity and netting activity had already escalated.
"Seafood wholesalers should have a plentiful supply of fresh local mullet," Mr Bowness said. "It is a commercially important species and although inspections show high levels of compliance with fisheries regulations, including fish size, licensing, net length and mesh size, QBFP will be in the region to monitor activity."
Mr Bowness asked recreational fishers to allow commercial netters to conduct their activities safely during the mullet run by giving them room to operate.

Dumping warning for processor spells doom to fishery unless a solution is found
LNP candidate for Hinkler Keith Pitt and senate candidate Matthew Kanavan talk with Paul Hodson from Urangan Fisheries in front of a tray of ocean king prawns from the Coral Sea.
A WARNING issued to a Urangan seafood processor for scallop disposal into the ocean is writing on the wall, says State Member for Hervey Bay Ted Sorensen.
Mr Sorensen said the company, which wanted to remain anonymous, had been warned by the Queensland Department of Environment and Heritage for breaching a little-known law which made it an offence to dump animal matter into the ocean.
He was concerned the warning pre-empted regulation changes that would make it illegal to dispose of natural seafood by-products into the Great Sandy Strait.
"If seafood processing companies are going to be fined for the likes of disposing scallop shells into the ocean, it means that such companies may have to move their processing activities to Asia," he said.
"A loss of such industry could spell over a hundred job losses for Hervey Bay."
The warned company had put scallop shells in Urangan Harbour for the past 40 years in accordance with state laws, Mr Sorensen said.
"Red tape like this is killing business," he said.
"If one trawler operator spends about $200,000 on fuel a month, imagine what this means for the local economy if they can no longer operate out of Hervey Bay."
Mr Sorensen wanted Fraser Coast seafood businesses that have been warned to contact him on 4124 1386.

No manager for FCO Fraser Coast Opportunities position
EXTERNAL consultants will be employed by Fraser Coast Opportunities on a needs basis to replace the position of a full-time investment attraction manager.
Following a meeting on April 15, the Fraser Coast Regional Council voted to conduct a review into the structure of FCO.
Included in that structure review would be the appointment of an investment attraction manager, currently vacant along with the general manager role.
Despite a recruitment process being finalised and candidates short listed in April, Mayor Gerard O'Connell said the appointment was on hold.
But yesterday he confirmed the position would not be made into a full-time role in "the foreseeable future".
Cr O'Connell said the benefit of not having an investment attraction manager was the ability to hire specific consultants.
"To be able to get ready-made firepower, if I can call it that," Cr O'Connell said. "Consultants who have got very focused and expert abilities, we thought that would be a better use in getting the investment attraction.
"For instance if we were going to really ramp up investment attraction in aviation, let's go and get an aviation expert."
The investment attraction office has been left vacant since the highly respected Scott Rowe resigned in August 2014.
Cr O'Connell said momentum was building for the restructuring of FCO.
He and the council's CEO, Lisa Desmond, along with councillors Stuart Taylor, Darren Everard and Chris Loft have removed themselves from the FCO board.
Expressions of interest have gone out for new independent directors
EDITORS NOTE:- Grand idea & workable if done in the right manner.
However it would still require a member of council to decide what area is needed to be promoted for the consultants to work on.
This little black duck [me] was the advisor for investment to the Pine Rivers Council in the shire at Brisbane north side before the amalgamations of the councils there.
I did the deals on a shopping centre at Kallangur & the huge AMCOR paper mill at Brendale by attracting them into the developments & even sold properties to the council & its head solicitor.
The council heads are aware of my & my credentials yet I received no expression of interest forms to fill out. So who did they send the forms to & decide not to appoint anyone anyway.
Does that speak of the quality of the applicants or just a change of direction by council?
What we have had to deal with in this council & previous councils is that none of them have had any real experience in developments & really have limited knowledge of what major investors want. Any investments made in this shire have already been decided by the investors & the council members are just shirt tailing the developments for political mileage.
We have good people on council but there need to be some experienced persons in the system.
Talk fests & committees are great if they are focused on what will attract developers & investors & action it accordingly.

Tiaro Coal enters administration
Tiaro Coal has entered voluntary administration.
The miner has four major projects, all of which are located in Queensland, as well as another located in East Kalimantan, Indonesia.
It has appointed Martin Madden, David Winterbottom, and Rahul Goyal of KordaMentha as its administrators.
It comes after the company commenced legal proceedings against Hudson Resources in an attempt to seek the return of its books and records, after administrative services Hudson were providing ceased last year.
According to Hudson it was retaining the books as Tiaro owed money for services rendered.

Canadian woman dies after whale jumps onto boat
A grey whale looks at tourists on a boat in Mexico in 2006. Photo: Reuters
A 35-year-old Canadian woman has died and two other tourists were injured when a surfacing grey whale crashed onto their boat.
The Attorney General's Office for Environmental Protection in Mexico said on Thursday two other tourists suffered "considerable" injuries when the whale breached and hit the side of the boat.
The office said the boat had been carrying nine tourists on a snorkel tour.
The Baja California Sur state prosecutor's office said the collision near the beach resort of Cabo San Lucas tossed the victim into the water.
A crew member and a passenger lifted her back onto the vessel and Mexican navy personnel moved the woman to shore. She was taken to a clinic, where she died during treatment.

Huffing & puffing with steam coming out of his ears a wart hog of a man came running out of the service station to a chap who was filling 2 x 20 litre water containers with water from a tap at the bruce highway BP service station. Ranting about 'this is my water' you cannot take it. One sick puppy 'Bob' Wessles employee come manager we are told was the 'WART HOG MAN OF TORBANLEA'. WART BEING SHORT FOR WATER PERHAPS..
This tap & all taps at the Bruce Highway BP servo have been changed to key operated units so clients cannot use the wessles BP servo water.
Get a tap key from bunnings to solve the problem.
No signs saying the water could not be used from the tap & everybody gets their fuel & water from fuel statons at times.
The problem is this:–
This local chap has been getting his fuel & water from this service station for the last 15 years.
The clown 'wart' [WATER] hog man obviously has no connection with his customer base & decided to abuse the customer without giving any consideration to the consequence to the business from that regular local client not buying fuel from that servo.
We are told that 'wessels'? petroleum had given directions to staff to kurb the use of servo water etc.. Save 1 cent & lose 1 dollar..Idiotic .
It has been noted that since that event by 'wart hog bob' that chap had not bought fuel from that servo since & used the one up the road at the Maryborough industrial estate instead who do not have a problem with using their water.
So giving that 'wart hog bob' had abused this customer for 5 cents worth of water has lost at least $280 worth on fuel over the last 2 weeks fom that customer… It baffles one as to how some people calculate the worth & value of their customers..
The client base of any business is dependant on continued support by customers of the service or products any business supplies. Service +++ also.
Too bad so sad. It would have been easier to let the chap use the water & change the tap to a key operated unit later.
No taps now are at that servo where people can use water without paying $3 for 20 litres..?? Council only charge .47 of 1 cent a litre or under 10 cents for 20 litres..
Management or 'wart hog bob' or wessels petroleum have in their business wisdom said we will screw our customers till they bleed.
GREAT MATE-VERY UN-AUSTRALIAN. The sexie coffie servo on the bruce highway closer to Maryborough gives better service, lets u use the water & has more trucks stopping there. Change your stopping venue people to let the Wessle petroleum servo know they cannot screw you.
The staff at the Wessles servo are great by the way, they just have to deal with a management ownership problems.
There are some great people at the Torbanlea post office who supply fuel next to the highway at cheaper prices & friendlier service card operated.
So the 'wart hog clown' has exchanged the profit on $240 fuel sales to date over 2 weeks from one customer for some perverse satisfaction of not allowing the chap to get the few cents worth of water. Strange but true….
Henry Sapiecha
Woman takes in a quad bike to get some work done on it for her 5year old boy.
Budget set & works to be done agreed to by parties
These were the only works required to be done on the quad bike as all else was in good working order.
This was done on the 7th August 2014 & the bike was delivered to the motoworx shed for the necessary repairs.
The bike was in good condition with the tyres blackened & steering with wheels in good working order.
Earlier photos & witnesses will testify & vouch for that fact on the day of delivery to the motoworx motorcycle Maryborough workshop.
The repairs were allegedly carried out within several days as claimed by the bike repair motoworx business in Maryborough.
The woman was notified that the job was completed, in working good order & ready for pick up.
A few weeks later Wednesday 15th Oct 2014 she arrived at the motoworx bike business n Maryborough to pay the $136 & pick up the bike.
The quad bike was bundled into the back boot of a falcon without being given a demonstration of its working
nor was it asked for by the lady as she trusts that when a repair person says it has been fixed then she believes them.
However when the bike is taken back for the child to use, the father who is a diesel mechanic noted it did not start &
that the wheels were all covered with red mud, the front wheels were well out of alignment, the frame was bent & the steering bar was loose
and not functioning. The woman immediately rang the offending motoworx motorcycle business in Maryborough to complain.
She was told that a Dale fellow was not there & that she needs to talk to him & he will ring her tomorrow [Thursday]
He never rang nor did the owner of the business who's name is John. John was sent an email on Wednesday night [the bike pick-up day]
outlining the details of the complaint. He also did not contact the lady who told him via the email that she will be bringing
back the quad bike on Friday 17th Oct 2014 to have the repairs carried out properly & the further damage repaired.
On arriving at the premises to drop off the bike for the correct repairs she was greeted by John the owner at the front of the premises.
The woman calmly outlined the position & requested that the repairs be carried out & that she would leave the bike there for that purpose.
At sometime between the alleged repairs to the bike by the workshop & the pick up by the woman of the bike,
it appears that some member of the staff at Motoworx motorcycles Maryborough has thrashed the bike & wrecked it.
The response by John the owner of the motoworx motorcycle business in Maryborough, said that the bike was just hand pushed
around the front of his premises until it was picked up. He claims the red mud on the bike was from that action..??
There is no red mud at the front of his premises only concrete, blue metal gravel. His story is obviously a concoction.
He would not fix the bike & began to abusive when the lady insisted that he does the right thing & honour his warranty
and investigate what happened. It would be strongly suggested that because he did not ask his staff what happened
that implicates his prior knowledge of what went down. He made no attempt to check if the bike would start ,became abusive & defensive
& did not take any serious interest in remedying the problem. He was more concerned about the BAS tax payment he had to make of $9,000
& that he was not going to be f……d up the a……. with this bike problem & he was quite vocal about his ex wife ripping him off etc.
It would have a minor issue to fix the problem he caused to avoiding further dramas & somehow saving face for this major cockup
caused by either himself or his staff. It appears his term in the business is to be short lived as he takes little interest in correcting wrongs.
They took the woman's money,repairs did not work & further extensive damage caused to the bike whilst in their care.
The demise of this business is undoubtedly imminent given his response. We will say GOODBYE now to Mr 'John'.
The quad bike was immediately taken to another reputable repairer the same day Friday 17th Oct 2014 to get a detailed report & quote to repair
the damages alleged caused by & ineffective repairs done by Motoworx Motorcycles Maryborough.
The lack of concern by the owner of MMM for the lady & her dissapointed crying 5year old son was pitiful to behold.
This is the young boy below who MOTOWORX MOTORCYCLES MARYBOROUGH has hurt
We certainly do not need or want this type of approach by any businesses in the Fraser Coast Region & some wonder why they are doing it tough.

text: My husband and I are very seriously considering buying a RV and traveling around the US. The only thing we are worried about is our animals. We have 3 dogs, one is 85 pounds (he is 1/2 dalmation and 1/2 lab), one is 30 pounds (she is 1/2 hound and 1/2 lab), and the other is 13 pounds (he is a chihuahua). Can anyone tell me how it is to travel with big, medium, and small animals? Do parks have a animal number restriction or weight restriction? Thank you for all your comments in advance.

ST. PAUL Its always a perfect time to get the call up to the NHL.
Still, Cody Almonds recall to the Minnesota Wild from the AHLs Houston Aeros has been made sweeter than usual.
The Calgary product not only was given the promotion just in time to face his hometown team, the Flames, but Friday nights affair in the Twin Cities also meant a chance to square off against good buddy and former junior teammate Mikael Backlund.
I got to see him this morning, so that was good. Its fun to play against friends, kinda bittersweet, but a good experience, said Almond after the morning skate.
Well have a little competition on faceoffs, so that will be a good battle.
A battle, during which we should expect some friendly trash talk?
Ill do a little bit, try to get him off his game, admitted Almond, who went through the Northwest Calgary triple-A ranks before joining the WHLs Kelowna Rockets. He might say stuff back, but I cant really understand what hes saying half the time. That Swedish accent, its tough to understand him.
Almond, a fifth-round pick in the 2007 draft, received the call to replace former Flames winger Chuck Kobasew, who is nursing a groin injury, and started the game at centre on the fourth line flanked by Matt Kassian and Brad Staubitz.
Its the third time in his young career Almond, 21, has been given the call to the NHL.
He had a one-game stint in the middle of last season when he admittedly was slightly overwhelmed, but earned six more NHL games to finish the 2009-10 season, during which he collected his first NHL goal in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Vancouver Canucks and gave a strong impression.
In the first game, he looked like a deer in the headlights, things were buzzing around and moving around quickly, said Wild head coach Todd Richards. The second time, he looked much more comfortable, like he knew what to expect and was ready for the pace and the speed, so he didnt look out of place.
This year, the 6-foot-2, 217-lb. forward has an even different mentality, prove he deserves to be in the NHL on a full-time basis.
I dont want to say I was star struck (last year), but I was taking it all in. That was a good learning experience. I know what its all about now and want to be effective, said Almond, an alternate captain for Kelownas 2009 WHL championship team.
The big thing is for me to have more pace to my game. Its more working on my speed all the time. When I get the puck, I have to make sure those first few strides are more explosive and Im always playing full speed and physical.
Its more of a mental thing. My skating is strong enough, I just have to concentrate on doing that (moving all the time).
Almond now makes Kelowna his off-season home, but a part of him remains a Calgarian.
Although he wanted to keep it a small part when facing the Flames.
Its kinda cool, but I dont know if it goes further than that, he said. They were the team I watched when I was younger. Its just another team, now.

"According to the contract of employment, if Romanian Post S.A. was forced to cut workforce, the affected employees would receive severance packages depending on the years of service in the Romanian Post. The maximum amount sacked workers could receive is the equivalent of 30 salaries correspondent to over 30 years of service", the company said.
The Romanian Post said it is a self-financing company and that salaries and severance packages will be paid to employees from its own sources.
According to the restructuring and modernization strategy approved by the Government last week, some €113 million will be invested in the modernization of the Romanian postal service, and a large portion of this amount represents the investment in sorting stations.
The automation of the sorting stations (constructions, postal equipment, software, training courses) would cost the company around €70 million, the implementation of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software some €10 million, and the acquisition of printing equipment around €12.5 million.
Another €6.7 million will be invested in franking machines, reorganization of mail shipping and of cash costs €10 million, and the expansion of the VPN network around €4 million.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- The Winston-Salem Open will hold tryouts for ball persons July 18 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and July 19 from 10 a.m. to noon. The tryouts are open to the public and will be held at the Wake Forest University Indoor Tennis Center at 100 West 32nd Street (adjacent to BB&T Field).
Candidates for ball persons must know how to keep score of tennis games, be able to move quickly, be willing to endure lengthy tennis matches in the sun and work well with others on a team. Ball persons must be 13 years old by December 31, 2014 (proof of age required) in order to qualify.
All applicants are asked to attend a minimum of three of the two-hour training sessions July 30; August 4, 6, 11, and 13 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Wake Forest University Indoor Tennis Center. Additionally, applicants must be available for the entire Winston-Salem Open tournament and qualifying rounds August 16 through 23.
"The primary role of ball persons is to retrieve tennis balls when they are out of play. Ball persons play very important roles in each match. Our ball persons have been an integral part of the Winston-Salem Open in past years," said Winston-Salem Open tournament director Bill Oakes. "Being as a ball person is a great way to get involved in tennis, see the competition up close and have some fun at the same time, but it's also a serious commitment."
"All applicants must be mature, have good hand-eye coordination and exhibit outstanding citizenship," Oakes added. "I also want to stress that ball persons must be willing to attend the training session and be available for possible work during the entire tournament. There are no exceptions to these rules."
Applicants are asked to wear appropriate athletic clothes to the tryouts and cannot wear shoes with black soles. Ball persons serve as volunteers, and there is no fee to apply.

If you don't feel the heat of employees clamoring to schedule vacation time when summer unofficially begins on Memorial Day weekend, you'll probably feel it soon after. Use these helpful hints for managing vacation schedules and maintaining productivity.
Require advance notice and approval. Employees must understand that time off requests may be denied depending on company or departmental needs, so they should not book anything until their request has been approved.
Put a specific limit on the number or percentage of employees that may be out at one time. While the number or percentage can be flexible depending on the department, type of job, time of year, etc., stating a limit at least makes employees aware of the fact that they may not get their requested vacation days if too many other colleagues have already requested the same time off.
Ensure that employees get their work done before their departure. Managers should discuss with employees what is due while they're away and soon after they return, and when and how they plan on accomplishing it.
Delegate. Specific tasks must be assigned to specific employees so nothing falls through the cracks of "it's not my job."
Anticipate questions. Besides being short-handed, productivity often also drops while employees are on vacation because of a knowledge gap. For parts of their job that no one else regularly handles, ask employees to write up instructions, checklists, or other guidance on how to do them. This should be done in advance, during downtime, not in the hectic days leading up to their vacation.
Remember external parties. Employees should change their voice-mail greeting and set up an automatic e-mail response that lets customers, clients, etc., know the dates of their absence and whom they can contact in the meantime and how to contact them.
Be on the lookout for fraud. One employee who couldn't get all of the vacation dates he had requested (to coordinate with his co-worker girlfriend) two years in a row, put in leave requests under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) both years that coincided with the vacation dates. When his employer discovered that, on his second medical leave, he engaged in activities that were contrary to his alleged medical condition and went on vacation to Las Vegas with his girlfriend, it fired him. A court threw out the employee's subsequent lawsuit claiming that he had been fired for requesting FMLA leave.

"Low Cost" Bible Software
Two years ago, when a Windows Bible software developer released a version of their software for Macintosh, I naturally purchased a copy in order to see what we had to fear from the new competition. While this program did a few things reasonably well, had a nice brushed-metal look, and offered some modern Bibles and reference works, it was otherwise everything I expected a Windows port to be: limited, clunky, and awkward to use. The unexpected side effect of buying this program was that I began receiving weekly e-mail offers, usually for their PC products!
Anyway, a few days ago I got an e-mail notice that was actually of interest: apparently their Mac product has now been upgraded. I dutifully went to their web-site to see what was added in an upgrade which has presumably been in development for the past two years. All I saw was a list of six items which struck me as reasonable improvements, but which absolutely paled in comparison to all the new features added in the last major upgrade to Accordance (not to mention the various free updates which followed it!).
Now, this competing Mac program (along with its corresponding Windows version) has always been billed as low-cost Bible study software, so perhaps it's unreasonable to expect its upgrades to be equivalent to those of Accordance. The cost for this upgrade? $29.95 to upgrade the base package, and $49.95 to upgrade the mid-level and top-level packages. Presumably, the additional twenty dollars to upgrade the upper-level packages is due to new material which has been added to these packages. I could see nothing which indicated which modules were new, but by comparing the modules I have with the modules listed in the new package, I found a half-dozen new modules in the mid-level package.
Now, we've never made the claim that Accordance is the low-cost leader in Bible software. We do try to keep our prices competitive, but we also believe that it's not unreasonable to charge for the features and modules we develop. How much do we charge to upgrade the Accordance program without adding any new modules? Twenty-nine dollars even. That's a much more substantial upgrade than you get with the other guys for nearly a dollar less! Even better, you can download the upgrade for the Accordance application without being forced to order a new CD-ROM and pay for new modules you may not want.
I realize that most of the readers of this blog have no objections to our upgrade prices, and price comparisons are not nearly as exciting as tips for how to use Accordance more effectively. Still, I think it helps to reinforce the fact that so-called "low-cost" Bible programs don't necessarily offer better value than you get with Accordance. Heck, sometimes they don't even offer lower prices!
