Moved the compactor out from under cabinet and unplugged the powercable.Laid compactor over on its side Removed the top (4 screws) and base plate (3 screws) as well as the coverplate for the motor(3 screws)Found that large drive was broken in half. Used two screwdrivers to start split ring then pliers to pull it off the rest of the way.Removed the drive gear and the washer. Used a nail to drive out the pin for the smaller drive gear kit. Removed and replaced with new, used new pin to lock it on to the shaft. Changed out the bearings and washers on one powerscrew, put chain back on. Then was then a simple matter to put the new gear back on the chain then slide the whole thing back on the drive shaft. Replace the washer then slip the split ring back in place and seat it home with the pliers. Greased chain, gear drive and powerscrew. Put all covers back on with the screws. Pushed button it worked.

Trash compactor started making "bumping" sounds when the RAM went through a cycle and tried to come back up. Finally, one day heard a "pop" went the RAM traveled to the bottom. The gear broke in half. Purchased the gear parts "KIT" online and repair took 15 minutes. Easy to do. Unfortunately, this was not only problem. The "cause" of the gear breaking was the Momentary Start/Stop Switch was bad. It's failure led to the main switch not working. The unit could not tell when the RAM had reached the top of it's cycle. The other problem was that I didn't put trash in the compactor. Suggest HIGHLY to never operate the unit's RAM mechanism without the compactor being at least 1/2 full per the instruction manual. Running it empty can cause a major problem, such as the gear breaking/stripping.
Replaced the gear and unit worked execpt the plunger hit the side of the garbage container. This appears the be the reason the gear broke in the first place. Defective assembly from the factory. To correct I had to remove the newly installed gear system remove inside cardboard side cover, Remove the screws that hold the bearing for the lift screw so I could remove the chain. After removing the chain I could adjust the plunger to be level and not hit the side of the garbage container on its way down.
Moved the compactor out from under cabinet, laid it on it's side, removed bottom casing (two nuts front, three back), remove compression pin from small drive gear shart, replace new small drive gear and install compression pin, loosen motor mounts to allow large gear replacement, remove circlip holding large drive gear to shaft, remove and repace damaged gear, set gear clearance and tighten motor mounts, grease gears, replace bottom casing. .
Took the under housing off to see the drive gear. It had broken in half. (Exactly like one of the suggestions said). Replaced the drive gear and re-assembled. It worked great!Thanks.
Unplugged trash compactor and removed from undercounter. Took cover off and removed broken plastic gear. Replaced with new gear and put cover back on
Simply removed the two plastic gears (held on by some sort of clip), put the new gears in place using the spacing instructions that were provided in the kit ....... and it is working!
First i removed 2 screws that holds it to the cabinet,pulled the unit out removed the cover off the bottom of the unit,then i notice the gears were damaged,but was not supprised,because the machine gets over worked.Then i removed one clip,removed one gear,the other gear had a pin,tapped the pin out with a punch ,pulled that gear off.then replaced both gears .Got it back together and it now works like new.i am very pleased with your service,you responded right away and let me know the order had filled.i ordered it on sunday night and i recieved it on tuesday morning .i will surly use your service in the future you guys are great. thanks alot
Unscrew the bottom, pull out the chain, replace the gear.
pulled it out, turned it upside down, and removed the gear, then replaced it, turned it back up and pushed it back it worked.
First thing I did was put the unit on its side and removed the bottom to access the broken plastic gear that moves the chain that drives the compactor up and down...There I was able to manually move the chain by turning the nut with pliers and moving the piston up (painfully slow) until I could at least use the bin for trash while I waited for the replacement part to arrive. Once I had the part I loosened the four bolts that allowed the drive gear to move a little and slacken the chain - I then put in the new gear - make sure you have the proper spacing and washers - my replacement kit didn't have any washers so I resused the old washers and all seems to be working well!
Like others who experienced this problem, I removed compactor from under the counter and laid it on its side. I removed the screws holding the cover plates to the motor and gear/chain box. The larger (4" +/-) plastic drive gear which moves the chain that lowers or raises the compactor ram was broke. Using a socket and ratchet, I turned the shaft the gear was attached to in a counterclockwise direction and moved the compacting ram from the bottom position to the top so I could finally open the door, It takes a lot of turns to move the compacting ram to the top so be patient. I then loosened the bolts, in the base, that holds the motor secure and slid the base toward the broken gear putting slack in the chain. I removed the split ring from the shaft and removed the sprocket which originally is part of the gear but was left on the shaft when the gear broke in three places. I elected to not remove the original washer and spacer and put the new gear with sprocket on the shaft, put the chain on the socket and installed the split ring. Slid the motor base back to original position putting slight tension on chain and a proper clearance between the gear and drive shaft (sheet of paper seperation). Reinstalled the covers, tested and was finished.
First let me say that I read many of the other posts regarding this repair and without them I wouldn't have had a clue how to fix this. Since the ram apparently moved up and down when I shut it off and turned it back on I reasoned the directional switch must be the problem. Ordered the part, Quick delivery. To replace the switch I removed the draw and removed two screws on the frame that hold the control panel in place. Lift up to remove. My unit is a stand alone unit although it is installed under the counter. There are two additional screws to remove the top and expose the ram and power screw drives. To remove the directional switch from the control panel you need to remove two hex head screws that hold it in place. This is a little difficult because of the small space. With the help of a small nut driver I was able to remove it. Note: the screws are held in place by a flat piece of metal that acts as a nut. Be careful not to drop it. Then simply remove the wire leads (all color and letter coded) and remove the switch. I was careful to reattach the leads to the new switch as I removed each one. Be sure to replace the switch with the limiting lever in the same position as it was in (it is vertical). Put everything back together and you should be good to go. That didn't happen for me! Problem persisted! Next on my list was the power nut. I got access to the ram and power screw drives (see above for instructions). The two power nuts are plastic wing nuts that are held in place by metal covers. The metal covers are each held down by two hex head screws. To gain access to the power nuts you have to remove the metal covers. Note the position of the nuts in relationship to the power screw shafts so that when you reassemble it they will be in the same position as when you started. In my case the top of the screw shafts were even with the top of the power nuts. (CAUTION: the ram is held by this assembly. Depending on what position your ram is when you started this repair it may fall! My ram was in the up position and when I removed the second cover it slammed down to the bottom of the drive screws). My advice is to be prepared by bracing up the ram before removing the metal covers. No harm when the ram fell but it did startle me. I then removed one of the power nuts. It was split in half. The other nut was fine but I decide to replace it anyway. Ordered parts. Quick delivery. Before I attempted to replace the power nuts I removed the ram (it just lifts out) and cleaned every thing. I put some new grease in the places that I had removed it. Then sprayed WD40 on the power screws. When I put the ram back in, I broke the new directional switch I had put in. So be careful!!! I still had the old one so I ultimately put it back in. I then replaced the power nuts. This was a little difficult because I had to hold the ram up while I was putting the metal covers back on. I would suggest you either brace the ram or get someone to hold it while you put the metal covers back on (In retrospect I suppose I could have just put the nuts on when the ram was down). Reassembled everything. Should be good to go. That didn't happen for me! Problem was still there! I turn it on, ram goes down. I turn it off, ram goes up. Desperation!! The only other thing it could be is the drive gear assembly. Ordered parts. Quick delivery. The gear drive is on the bottom of the machine. Lay the machine on it's side to gain access to the bottom cover. There are 5 hex head screws that hold it on. Remove screws and cover. It's pretty simple from here. The drive gear was missing a few teeth but the rest were in tact. This explains why the ram was still moving up and down and led me to believe it was something other than the drive. The only difficult part was the removal of the pin in the drive shaft. I wound up using a bolt the about the same diameter and a hammer to drive it out. Then just reassemble. There are some instructions that come with the gear parts that tell you how to set the spacing in the gears but I had no problem just replacing the parts without making any "adjustments". Should be good to go! Yessssss! Everything worked perfectly!!! My final words of advice. If your machine has this problem CHECK THE DRIVE FIRST. It the easiest thing to do because you can visually inspect it and know or eliminate it as the problem. It's about a 5 minute job and can may save you some of the problems I had. A big thanks to PartSelect for sponsoring these posts. The repair company that I normally use told me the machine was too old and probably wasn't worth the $100 just to come out and look at it, never mind the additional cost to repair it. All in I spent less than $100 and had I checked the drive first, I could have been done for less than $30.
layed it in the kictuchen floor took of bottom and changed the gears that's all there was to it piece of cake
Compactor ram would go to bottom but not return back up after compaction. Keep running until unplugged. After unplugging flipped unit on its side and remover bottom plate (5) nut screws, exposing gears. Found that the main large gear had fine crack which caused it to spin loosely. Ordered gear assembly and lossened four mount screw on motor to move it forward and give slack on chain. Hint: Loosen motor mount bolts, DO NOT REMOVE bolts COMPLETELY! Removed broken plastic gear and reassembled with new. Held/ pushed motor back to retention chain and secured four (4) mount bolts Then reassembled bottom plate with screw nuts and it worked perfectly!!

If you've ever hosted Thanksgiving dinner for a group, large or small, you know how much planning, cleaning, shopping, prepping, baking, chopping, and basting goes into pulling it off. You are happy to make the effort because a successful Thanksgiving is not as much about the food as it is about being with your loved ones, catching up on family news, playing games, watching football, and sharing the family traditions you've established over the years.
On those occasions when we are not hosting but attending as an invited guest, however, it's important not to take your hostess's efforts for granted, no matter how calm she appears or how many years she has "done" Thanksgiving. Aside from offering to bring something to the gathering and lending a hand while you're there, there are other ways to show your thanks, from Thanksgiving gift ideas to following up with a handwritten thank you note.
Personalized note cards or notepads make wonderful Thanksgiving gift ideas, especially if she can use them throughout the holiday season for her own hostess gifts. Cooking utensils, hot pads or towels, infused vinegars or oils, even potted herbs for the windowsill make her feel like the chef she is.
Want to really make her smile? Write a note. Every hostess loves to hear that her gathering was as successful as she'd hoped it would be. And a thank you card is doubly appreciated if the hostess is someone you speak to often, such as your mom, your sister, or your best friend. Often we neglect such social niceties with our closest relatives and friends, and those are the people who will most appreciate your unexpected words of thanks. If you're lucky, she just might share her recipe for that delicious pecan pie in return.

If you want to understand what Fleet Street was like and, in some senses, what journalistic competition is still all about, then try to see The Great Paper Chase next Thursday.
It is the BBC's film of Tony Delano's wonderful book, Slip-Up*, which tells how some of Fleet Street's finest went off to Brazil in 1974 to witness Scotland Yard's finest - in the shape of Detective Chief Superintendent Jack Slipper - arrest the fugitive the great rain robber Ronnie Biggs.
Slipper of the Yard failed in his mission because the Brazilian authorities refused to agree to Biggs's extradition. But it is the tussle between the journalists that is so riveting.
Anyway, after the BBC first screened The Great Paper Chase Slipper sued for libel (funded by Jimmy Goldsmith, incidentally), and in 1990 he was awarded £50,000 in damages. The BBC was also ordered to pay costs of more than £400,000.
Slipper died in 2005, but the BBC has steadfastly refused to rebroadcast the film. So it is being shown at the BFI (South Bank) next Thursday (7 October) as part of a retrospective for its director, James Cellan Jones.
Delano will be there and is expected to address the audience on his disgust at the BBC having chickened out from reshowing the film.
Tickets (£9 or £6.65 for seniors and students) are available from BFI Online here.

UC Berkeley building named for Marvell founders
1 Comment
SAN FRANCISCOSutardja Dai Hall, named for the founders of Marvell Technology Group Ltd., opened recently on the campus of the University of California at Berkeley, where it will serve as the headquarters for the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (Citris).
The building will house the Marvell Nanofabrication Laboratory, equipped with advanced semiconductor fabrication equipment in two 15,000 square-foot cleanrooms. It is believed to be the first fully equipped 8-inch semiconductor fab line at any university campus.
The building was named for Marvell's foundersSehat Sutardja, Weili Dai and Pantas Sutardjain recognition of a donation described as substantially more than $20 million.
All three Marvell founders attended UC Berkeley in the 1980s. Sehat Sutardja and Dai are married with two sons, Christopher and Nicholas, both of whom are now undergraduate engineering students at the university.
In comments made at the Sutardja Dai Hall dedication Feb. 27, Dai described the trio's experience as foreign students and said UC Berkeley prepared them well. She said they felt fortunate that, as successful entrepreneurs, they were in a position to give back to the university, according to a summary of her comments sent by a Marvell spokesperson.
|Weili Dai, Marvell co-founder and vice president of sales for the company's Communications and Consumer business, speaks at the dedication of Sutardja Dai Hall at UC Berkeley Feb. 27.
In a subsequent interview with EE Times, Dai echoed these comments and emphasized that the Marvell founders are committed to the importance of educationparticularly in difficult economic times, when funding from both government and private sources is harder to come by.
Dai also praised former the late Richard Newton, the electronics industry visionary and former dean of UC Berkeley's college of engineering, who died in 2007. It was the energy, enthusiasm and dedication shown by Newton as well as Shankar Shastry, current dean of the school's college of engineering, and Melissa Nidever, assistant dean of college relations, that moved the founders to become involved with the Citris program, Dai said.
Netwon played a key role in the formation of Citris, which has become a large-scale, multi-university effort. Citris attempts to tackle problems such as health care, poverty, and the environment with a multidisciplinary engineering approach that combines information, biological and nano technologies. More than 300 researchers from four UC campuses are currently involved in the program.
Dai said Citris would be a model of excellence for a new kind of collaboration and cooperation needed to battle the most challenging social, environmental and medical health problems the world faces.

Missouri Whitetail Hunting (Informative)
By Darrin Bradley
As the owner of the largest whitetail specialty outfitting service in the nation I have viewed literally thousands of land tracts in many states over the course of my hunt career. Reknown locations exist for the pursuit of trophy whitetail. For example, Buffalo County, Wisconsin, Pike County, Illinois, Webb County, Texas, etc. While many of the more reknown locations draw the admiration of the modern day trophy whitetail deer hunter, the State of Missouri in its North Central Sector may be the most qualitative sleeper location in the United States. During the 2007 whitetail season I hunted a small 160 acre tract of ground that was one of the most remote pieces I have ever seen. This tract of ground possessed at least 500 rubs, with 100 of them being rubs on trees as big as the top of a big mans leg. Scrapes the size of the hood of a truck were also present. Deer runs 2 feet wide and sometimes up to 3 feet deep in the ground at tributary crossings over creeks and rivers. In 11 hunts I viewed 261 deer from my treestand location in North Central Missouri, and harvested a 160 inch deer, which was only one of 11 opportunities to shoot record book bucks I had from the farm in a mere 11 hunts. Statistically the farm presented me a shot opportunity at a trophy buck every time I hunted it. Missouri is the sleeper state of the Midwestern United States, with much to offer in regard to harvest opportunities of big record book whitetail bucks.
During the following narrative we will discuss issues which surround the sleeper State of Missouri and its trophy whitetail hunting as it relates to hunt pressure, season dates, peak hunt times, prime locations in the State, Department of Natural Resources, tag obtainment, terrain descriptions, record book buck entries for the State of Missouri, and hunt outfitters.
I am born and bred a proud Missouri Resident. Having been afforded the opportunity to watch the Missouri Whitetail Deer Herd mature over the past 40 years, key evolutionary changes have become distinct which have turned a small whitetail herd into one of the most qualitative whitetail herds in the nation.
The history of white-tailed deer in Missouri shows positive and negative influences humans can have on wildlife. During presettlement times, the whitetail was abundant in Missouri, especially in the more fertile and diverse habitats of northern Missouri. The influx of European settlers to Missouri during the last half of the nineteenth century coincided with a rapid decline in the deer population. Unrestricted market hunting and habitat destruction, such as cutting, burning, farming and grazing forest lands, contributed most to this decline.
Token laws restricting the killing of deer were passed in the late 1800s and early 1900s, but they went largely unenforced. In 1925, the state's deer herd was estimated to be only around 400. In response to these findings, the Missouri State Legislature declared deer season closed and made the first substantial effort to enforce its regulation. At the same time, deer brought to Missouri from Michigan were released onto five refuges in the Ozarks. In 1931, deer season reopened but resulted in a small harvest, which indicated a low population that was stable or declining. Only when the first Conservation Commission formed in 1937 did significant efforts to restore the whitetail begin to succeed. The Commission closed deer hunting season from 1938 to 1943. During this closure, additional deer were stocked from Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota and from existing refuges within the state. Enforcement of the Wildlife Code of Missouri by professionally trained conservation agents helped deter poaching.
By 1944, the statewide deer population soared to 15,000, and Missouri held its first deer season since the recovery effort had begun. Between 1944 and 1951, hunting was restricted to bucks only to allow deer populations to grow. In 1951, limited doe harvests were initiated.
The story since then is clear: Early management promoted continued population growth which, in turn, was accompanied by people's growing interest in deer hunting. Recent management efforts have attempted to define optimal population levels and design hunting regulations to achieve them. The success of the deer program is a tribute to Missourians' support of their natural resources and to the adaptability of the white-tailed deer to human-altered habitats. (Cite, Source 1)
According to the entries in the Boone & Crockett and Pope and Young Record Books of Trophy Whitetail Deer, the State of Missouri ranks #7 of all states in the nation for the most number of entries. Only the States of Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Minnesota, and Kansas are ranked higher. At last count Missouri sported over 719 entries in the Pope and Young and Boone & Crockett Record Books. Some whitetail biologists suggest the State of Missouri will be the 5th highest ranking state for trophy whitetail entries by 2010.
Many reasons for the States high quality whitetail production is due to the credit of the Missouri Department of Conservation, hereafter referred to as MDC. The MDC states on their website a brief description of the goals and current status of the whitetail herd in Missouri. The white-tailed deer is one of Missouri's most valuable wildlife resources. Each year hunters spend around three million hunter-days in the field pursuing the whitetail, contributing millions of dollars to the economy in the process. Public viewing of deer attracts thousands of visitors to our state's public lands annually. A recent survey of urban and rural Missouri citizens revealed that of all animals outside a zoo, people most prefer to see the white-tailed deer. It also is a favorite with children. The whitetail was selected as our state mammal by vote of school-age children.
On the down side, deer cause thousands of vehicle accidents on our roadways annually and feed on agricultural and household plantings throughout the state. It is not surprising that the Missouri public has strong feelings toward whitetails, mostly positive, but some negative. As a steward of this important wildlife resource, the Missouri Department of Conservation is sensitive to these attitudes.
The Department's goal is to maintain deer numbers at levels that serve the best interest of the Missouri public. This requires knowledge of whitetail biology. Equally important, however, is commitment and cooperation from Missouri citizens who serve both as the advisory board that guides our management and the tool with which we regulate deer numbers. The landowner is the key to this process because most deer management in Missouri takes place on private properties. (Source 2)
One might ask, What makes Missouri such a sleeper state? One to be chosen over a more reknown location than Missouri for ones next hunt outing? More reknown counties for whiteails, for example the State of Illinois possess over 400 hunt outfitters. While these more reknown counties are initially more appealing for choice lets pause to review some facts. Any county that presents over 400 Hunt Outfitters places massive amounts of pressure on the herd and massive harvest quantities. I recall opening up a Division of my Whitetail Outfitting Service in Missouri 5 years ago. When I arrived I literally had not competition. When I approached landowners to lease their ground as an outfitter they literally didnt know what an outfitter was, let alone believe I could earn them top dollar for hunt leases for my hunt whitetail clients. Meanwhile in other more reknown counties leases were much higher with massive amounts of hunt pressure from neighboring outfitters which resulted in less really big whitetail bucks.
I quickly noticed that when I obtained land in Missouri to outfit that usually the properties had never been bowhunted at all. Also I quickly noted that the ground I obtained in Missouri had never been hunted correctly. Meaning that nobody had hunted topographical advantages like funnels, spiderwebs, bottlenecks, lowspots, inside Ls, etc. The Missouri ground still carried that no boot tracks in the creek type of environment that Boone and Crockett Deer demand. Remote, in a word. When I began hunting Missouri land tracts my clients harvested whitetail bucks that were usually 30 inches of average antler length more than my hunters who hunted in Pike County, Illinois. (A more commercialized hunt community with over 400 outfitters.) Dont misunderstand, more reknown counties for outfitting like Webb County, Texas and Buffalo County, Wisconsin, and Pike County, Illinois do present wonderful opportunities to harvest big deer, however I found right off the bat that a more secretive sleeper state most generally presented bigger bucks for harvest due to no hunt pressure and no strategic planning. Normally when I obtain ground in Missouri for hunting the only history of deerhunting pressure its ever had has maybe been the landowners grandson for a day during deerseason a year, and the grandson killed the first doe that walked by and went to the house in time to catch the football game. The Missouri Deer Herd is an undisturbed herd that holds true dream bucks that have not been hunted correctly therefore creating a hunting paradise.
Archery Season in Missouri opens September 15 of each year and normally closes on January 15. Tags are obtained over the counter at Walmart and those hunters born after 1966 must present a hunter safety tag to purchase a permit. Archery season can be a wonderful experience any time of year. Early season hunting needs to take place over foodplots or in white oak groves bearing acorns. Peak of the rut archery can be second to none with good dates beginning around Halloween with pea of the rut being around November 15 or sometimes sooner. Late season archery hunting can be grim without a solid green food source. Late season hunting in Missouri is simply tough. Tags a lot for one buck and one doe. Only one buck can be harvested with a bow prior to the gun season.
Firearms Season normally opens on the 2nd weekend of each November and runs for 11 days straight. The State of Missouri allows hunters to use rifles for hunting with tag available for purchase over the counter. Hunters born after 1966 must present a hunter safety tag to purchase a permit. The rifle season falls during the peak of the rut. Also a late muzzleloader hunt occurs in late November early December but can often times be grim without a green food source of food plot. I find rifle states can be difficult to hunt with muzzleloader post firearms season. Only one buck can be harvested with a rifle but doe tags are unlimited for purchase.
The State allows hunters to take two bucks. One buck before rifle season with a bow. The other buck must be taken during rifle season with a gun or late muzzleloader or post firearms archery hunting.
I learned long ago that its not enough just to go hunt a great whitetail state like Missouri, or Illinois, or Iowa. One must locate county specific areas or zones wherein quality whitetail bucks are being harvested. One way to perform this function is to simply purchase a copy of the latest Pope and Young Record Book. In the book each state displays a color coordinated map with the darkest counties in the state being the ones that have coughed up the most number of entries in the record books. One must be careful when using these maps as counties which border major metropolitan areas are always dark colored or represented as high quality simply because they are receiving the most pressure due to higher populations of hunters.
In Missouri, the greatest counties are known as Macon, Shelby, Knox, Adair, and Scotland. Despite them not being near cities these counties have the highest number of entries in the record books. These counties are located in Northcentral and Northeastern Missouri bordering the Iowa State Line. It is these counties a hunter wants to focus their efforts towards. Southern parts of the State are not high quality areas and not worthy of your time nor efforts despite what you may have heard. Towns in these areas that hold hotels and housing accommodations include Kirksville, Macon, Edina, and Shelbina, Missouri.
Especially in the State of Missouri you will want to utilize a professional outfitting service. Public hunting grounds are overhunted to the point of dessilation. I remember 3 years ago during the gun season cruising by Atlanta Wildlife Area in Northern Missouri. Cars were literally parked bumper to bumper along miles of gravel roads. Public hunting in Missouri is not worth your time. Find an outfitter in Macon, Shelby, Knox, or Scotland County and do your homework. IMB Outfitters is a very respectable outfitting service having been in business for 12 years. IMB has won many outdoor awards and offers both fully and semi guided hunts for archery and gun season. IMB can be seen on the web at www.imbmonsterbucks.com or phone toll free 866-855-7063. Make a careful selection of outfitter as in the State of Missouri outfitting has not evolved. Some several smaller outfitting services exist that simply dont know what they are doing. That is why I strongly recommend going with a credible outfitter like IMB Outfitters. The wrong choice of outfitter or location in this state will be a disappointing result.
7 years ago portions of Missouri experienced and exposed the herd to a disease called bluetongue. Blue tongue is defined as follows:
Bluetongue is a non-contagious, athropod-borne viral disease of both domestic and wild ruminants. Bluetongue virus (BTV) is endemic in some areas with cattle and wild ruminants serving as reservoirs for the virus. Epizootics of Bluetongue virus killing approximately 179,000 sheep within 4 months have threatened the livestock industry in recent years. For this reason, regulatory veterinarians have heightened their interest in this devastating disease.
The threat of decreased trade associated with Bluetongue outbreaks has become an even bigger threat to the livestock industry than the actual disease itself. According to Kahrs, bluetongue is a major obstacle to exportation of U.S. ruminants and ruminant products and probably affects the United States more than most countries. This is because of the prevalence of BTV in conjunction with competent vectors within the U.S., vague surveillance and reporting policies, and extensive BTV research emanating from U.S. laboratories.
Bluetongue is an orbivirus which cross-reacts with many antigenically related viruses including Palyam virus and the viruses that cause epizootic hemorrhagic disease of deer and African Horse sickness. Bluetongue virus replicates in both arthropod and mammalian host cells. The virulence of BTV varies quite markedly; even strains with matching serotypes have variable virulence. A total of 25 serotypes have been identified worldwide with only 5 recognized within the United States.
Due to a bluetongue outbreak there are parts of Missouri that are still recovering from the mishap. Be sure and choose an outfitter that is North of Highway 36 near Macon, Missouri and East of Highway 63. This is the reason you need an outfitter to pursue trophy whitetails in Missouri. There are portions of the state that to the naked eye look to be a whitetail hunting paradise however they are poor.
Terrain description is typical Midwestern agricultural row crop ground with a mix of hard wood timber. The terrain of Northern Missouri relatively flat which sets forth a friendly invite to hunt even to physically challenged hunters. Normally 30% of all ground is wooded or timbered with the remaining 70% being row crops like corn, soybeans, wheat, etc. Hunting white oak groves during early October can often times be advantageous on years of great mast production.
Sure enough you can bet that if you hunt the trophy whitetails of Missouri you will be exposed to unpressured land tracts that have not been hunt correctly which will result in a bigger badder buck of a lifetime. Missouri is a sleeper state that can be the foundation upon which a whitetail hunters dream is built upon, with a friendly tagging obtainment program and a well managed herd in a friendly community. If youre the hunter that is looking for bucks of maximum size then Missouri it is.

LAWMAKERS IN Congress have pounded their chests in self-righteous indignation at the unfolding corporate scandals, grilled CEOs like they were war criminals and passed harsher penalties for boardroom felons.
But all their bluster about the importance of executive ethics and the need to hold businessmen accountable to the public rings hollow if they don't apply the same standards to their own conduct.
One wonders what their reaction would be if Robert Torricelli had been the CEO of a bankrupt telecommunications company, and not a Democratic senator from New Jersey.
The Senate Ethics Committee earlier this week found that Mr. Torricelli violated Senate rules when he accepted cash and gifts from David Chang, a campaign supporter and onetime friend of the senator.
On top of that, after spending months denying he had received any gifts and calling the charges against him scurrilous, Mr. Torricelli last Tuesday night took to the Senate floor to say he accepted the panel's findings. In other words, he all but admitted he had been lying.
That so troubled the Ethics Committee that it "severely admonished" Mr. Torricelli. No doubt his wrist is still stinging from that slap.
Perhaps we should be happy the committee was as harsh as it was, because for a while it appeared it would completely whitewash the affair. The panel's chair, Hawaii Democrat Daniel Inouye, had complained about having to hold hearings. He refused to even let Mr. Chang testify. Then he threatened to suspend the proceedings until after the fall elections -- which would've been convenient for Mr. Torricelli, who is facing a tough re-election campaign.
In the end, Mr. Inouye and the committee found the senator guilty of wrongdoing, which stains his record, and delivered a rhetorical rebuke. But the penalties could have been far worse -- Rep. James Traficant, D-Ohio, was just kicked out of the House and sent to prison for receiving political gifts. New Jersey voters may have the final say on Mr. Torricelli's fitness for office.
But the entire country should be concerned with how many of the Senate pitbulls for corporate ethical reform suddenly became lapdogs when one of their own was put in the dock. Their barking won't have any bite until they hold themselves to the same standards they hold others.

Complications begin after insurance is canceled
In December, my perfectly good health-care plan was canceled. Having enjoyed a healthy and active life, I recently found out at age 63 that I need two knee replacements and one hip replacement. I've spent hours getting through to uninformed Anthem Blue Cross Affordable Health Care agents and supervisors. Each person I spoke with assured me the offered HMOs and PPO/EPOs would be accepted by the local medical teams I want to use. I now find myself in a quagmire of jargon concerning regions, networks, ZIP codes, household earnings and metal-named plans. None of the local physicians, specialists or hospitals I've contacted will take my new DirectAccess insurance.
The latest atrocity is that we were given a list of seven network orthopedists and hospitals where none of the doctors work out of any of the hospitals, with only one doctor and one hospital in the South Bay. All others were nebulous-sounding facilities somewhere in Los Angeles.
If anyone thinks Obamacare is a good thing and the scheme will eventually straighten itself out, they're living with their heads in a bucket.

Celebrate past and future of local canning industry
Re "Former Chicken of the Sea building use will save transporting catch" (Feb. 7):
Exciting news: There will be more commerce brought to Terminal Island, reminiscent of the venerable tuna canning industry, with the arrival of Neptune Foods, although what seafood will actually be processed is not clear.
The historic and cultural significance of Fish Harbor as the bastion of the greatest fishing industry in the United State should never be discounted. In the past century, there was no "monopoly," and as many as 23 independent canneries thrived and led the nation in the tonnage of fish received, packed and distributed throughout the country and the world.
To learn the facts, readers should not pass go or collect the "bait" but head straight to the Los Angeles Maritime Museum permanent exhibit "Caught, Canned and Eaten: The History of San Pedro's Tuna and Canning Industry," and breathe in "the smell of money" and prosperity that the aroma of the canneries signifies.
My grandfather, Joseph M. Mardesich Sr., a pioneer of the industry, is proudly part of the legacy on display for historical value, if not inspiration of what a great industry that employed thousands of workers did to sustain a small seaside town.
— Stephanie Mardesich, San Pedro
Congress must take away Obama's phone and pen
Five years ago, we elected a new president we thought believed in America's history — including the flight from oppressive government, religious freedom and a medical system that was the best in the world. He was elected to fix our economy and create jobs, but that was not on his agenda; it was Obamacare.
Now we have the most corrupt administration ever and it starts at the top, where President Obama uses Attorney General Eric Holder as his enforcer, who in turn uses the Internal Revenue Service to coerce Americans. Dishonesty reigns.
The American people have become irrelevant, and we are relegated to the sidewalk outside the White House, while they live it up on our dollar.
Congress, you are Americans first, and it's time you start acting like it, because if you don't get some backbone, President Obama — with his phone and pen in the next three years —will make you irrelevant.

ATLANTA - Georgia leaders are debating whether to revise the state's emergency fuel plan and are considering ways to bolster gas supply in the aftermath of the abrupt shortage of gas that sent some motorists into a frenzy.
As lines outside gas stations grow shorter, frustrating searches for fuel have given way to soul-searching among Georgia legislators. Critics, meanwhile, have sharply condemned the state's response to the crisis.
As the dust settles, the governor's office said it will consider several changes to the emergency gas plan, including a more structured policy to apply to the EPA for high-sulfur gasoline permits.
And state officials say they will explore ways to bolster the supply of gas. Two pipelines that run from Houston through Georgia supply most of the state's gas, but officials sound eager to explore ways to ship in more fuel.
Legislators also could consider another effort to speed along the construction of a $2 billion pipeline that would stretch from Louisiana to Atlanta's suburbs. A bill to fast-track the construction failed in the legislature last year, but the project still is moving forward.
Tom Smith, a finance professor at Emory University's Goizueta Business School, said legislators should tighten gouging rules and draft firm plans to take to the airwaves to soothe panicky residents.

Acta Cryst. (2013). C69, 439-443 [ https://doi.org/10.1107/S0108270113006288 ]
Abstract: Di(phenylpropylamino)gossypol [systematic name: 2,2'-bis{1,6-dihydroxy-5-isopropyl-8-[(3-phenylpropylamino)methylidene]naphthalen-7-one}, C48H52N2O6, was formed by reaction of the dimeric natural product gossypol with 3-phenylpropylamine. The structure of this compound has its two naphthalene ring systems oriented approximately perpendicular to each other, and the two pendant phenylpropyl groups have different conformations. One of these side groups is considerably disordered at room temperature but less so at 120 K. The enantiomeric molecules form centrosymmetric dimers that are supported by intermolecular hydrogen bonds and by hydrophobic interactions between a pair of naphthalene rings. Two additional hydrogen bonds tie the dimer pairs into layers. Unlike gossypol and many gossypol Schiff base derivatives, the title compound crystallizes without the inclusion of solvent, which appears to occur because of the size and flexibility of its phenylpropyl pendent groups.
Formula: C48H52N2O6 at 296 and 120 K

Ethernet/IP I/O modules
Belden Inc. has released Ethernet/IP modules that can connect to discrete wiring devices via 16 digital I/O channels with universal input/output or input functionality
Belden Inc. (NYSE:BDC) introduced EtherNet/IP I/O modules facilitating the connection of discrete wiring devices (sensor/actuators) via 16 digital I/O channels with universal input/output or input functionality directly to industrial controllers.
These EtherNet/IP modules are available with 16 universal user-selectable digital inputs/outputs (0980 ESL 710) or 16 dedicated inputs (0980 ESL 711). The easy diagnostic concept helps to find the exact location of any faults for each I/O port with "on-board" LED diagnostic indicators. Access to this information is also available via the EtherNet/IP network: making it possible to evaluate the details on a centralized operating and display system, such as a Human Machine Interface (HMI), without having to configure the module.
Both modules fully support ODVA's Device Level Ring (DLR) standard, enabling multi-port EtherNet/IP devices to operate in a ring or linear topology. DLR insures that a single-point failure does not prevent communication between the remainder of the functioning devices. The integrated switch allows both ring and line (daisy chain) topology. A substantial cost saving can be obtained as external switches are not needed.
Due to a rugged housing and IP67 terminations, these EtherNet/IP modules require no protective enclosure and can be mounted on machines. Operational temperatures are -10 C to +60 C; and 24 V dc (11-30 V dc) power input is through standardized 7/8-in. 4-pole power connectors. Network addressing is via rotary switches, BOOTP or DHCP.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

The U.S. Justice Department filed an antitrust lawsuit to block Anheuser-Busch InBev NB's (NYSE: BUD) proposed $20.1 billion acquisition of Grupo Modelo (MM: GMODELOC), saying the deal would reduce competition in the beer market.
The suit, filed on Jan. 31, said that Anheuser's proposed total ownership of Modelo would result in consumers paying more for beer and having fewer new products to choose from.
Even a small increase on the price of beer could result in billions of dollars that could harm American consumers, the department said. Americans spent at least $80 billion on beer last year.
The department filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
Anheuser and Modelo are the first and third largest beer firms, respectively, together accounting for 46 percent of annual beer sales. MillerCoors is the second largest. Anheuser owns Budweiser, Bud Light, Michelob, Shock Top, Rolling Rock and other beer brands. Modelo owns stakes in Corona, Model and Pacifico, as well as other brands.
Anheuser agreed to buy Modelo in June 2012.

Beat the buffet rush, and cook at home with friends
[Home Cooking] Duck in a sauce of yuja cha and omija extract gives you that turkey, orange and cranberry taste without paying through the nose.
Dec 24,2009
Even if you don't have an oven, cooking your duck in a pan makes for a wonderful Christmas dinner. By Joe McPherson
It's Christmas Eve, and there's the traditional expat rush to find overpriced turkey buffets, a few souls getting turned away for lack of reservations. I'm surprised no one has opened a full-time turkey restaurant here, considering the obscene gouging people are willing to accept, as if the birds are dipped in gold.
But it's all hype over nostalgia. A while back I interviewed Koreans on their fondest Chuseok food memories. I got a few puzzled responses from people who said they just ate the foods because they were traditional, not because they enjoyed them. Seeing family was more important.
This makes the expat turkey hunt a comical event. Does anyone truly like the big bird that much? Or do people just do it because they are grasping for any connection to home they can in a monolithic food culture resistant to diversity? I have seen many the expat shake with giddy anticipation waiting in line for some white meat only to find themselves underwhelmed.
What's missing is family and friends. Even if we don't have the former here, we have the latter: friends who share the common experience of living in Korea. That's why the best way to celebrate the season is to meet up for a home-cooked meal. It's easy. Even better, there are leftovers.
That's why, this week, I won't be discussing where to overspend on a turkey dinner. Instead, we'll be making something even better at home.
When you can't get your hands on a turkey, buy a duck. Ducks, or "Chinese turkey" to fans of the movie "Christmas Story," are also traditional Christmas feasts. The Korean ori have become more common at local butchers, usually at just 10,000 won a bird. If you or a friend has an oven you're in for a treat. Make sure the butcher doesn't hack it to pieces if you want to roast it whole - ducks are prepped differently at different butchers. Then, at home, rinse Donald down and remove any quills or blemishes. Cut off the neck and pull out any naughty bits, as well as excess fat. The neck you can use for stock or render for fat. Dry the duck, then rub the outside and under the skin with salt and pepper. Put a few tangerine slices under the skin and in the cavity, and tie the legs together with some cotton string. Carefully pour a kettle of boiling water over it in the sink - this helps crisp the skin. Finally, roast the duck breast side down on a rack in an oven heated to 180 degrees Celsius (355 Fahrenheit). Make sure to put a pan underneath to collect the ample fat drippings.
Cooking time will vary. After an hour and a half, poke a skewer into the thickest part. If the juices run clear, it's ready. Duck is better undercooked than overcooked.
If you don't have an oven, cut the duck up, rub with salt and pepper, dredge in flour and saute in a pan with minimal oil.
With either method, reserve the fat. I usually keep it in a jar in the refrigerator.
When the duck is finished cooking, let it rest at room temperature for at least 15 minutes so the juices don't spew like lava when you cut into it.
It's time to sauce. Get yourself a jar of yuja cha, the yuzu tea that looks like orange marmalade and some omija extract, which tastes similar to cranberries. Pour a tablespoon of the fat into a pan and add a tablespoon of flour. Cook until the flour starts smelling nutty, then add half cup of yuja cha, a tablespoon of omija extract and a teaspoon of fresh grated ginger. Cook on medium low heat, stirring constantly, until it starts bubbling. Add some salt and pepper to taste, and you end up with a "cranberry-orange" glaze without buying any cranberries or oranges.
Take some more of that duck fat and put about a centimeter of it in a pan. Thinly slice some potatoes and let them sit in some chilled water for at least 30 minutes to leach out some of the excess starch. Fry the potatoes in the duck fat and season with salt and pepper. Decadence like this you won't find on any hotel buffet table, and it also works with Korean sweet potatoes.
While you and your friends are waiting for the duck to cook, treat yourselves to some mulled wine. Pour two bottles of red wine into a pot, add a chunk of big Korean cinnamon (kaepi), which you can find in the Chinese medicine section at supermarkets. Throw in a spoonful of that yuja cha, some grated ginger and half a cup of sugar. Stir thoroughly and heat slowly on a simmer for 15 to 30 minutes.
Pour the mulled wine into mugs. Take a seat, put on some jazzy Christmas tunes and toast to a great season. Life doesn't get much better than this.

Despite an unharmonious start that turned the "Spider-Man" musical on Broadway into a late-night talk show joke, a cast album will go on sale June 14.
The 14-song album "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" written by U2's Bono and The Edge will be produced by Steve Lillywhite and will be released by Interscope Records.
The songs will feature Reeve Carney in the role of Peter Parker, Jennifer Damiano as Mary Jane, T.V. Carpio as Arachne, and Patrick Page as the Green Goblin. They'll be backed by a 20-member orchestra.
The first single, "Rise Above 1," will be available Wednesday night.
The show recently restarted after a three-week hiatus following the firing of Julie Taymor as director and with rejiggered music and a smoothed-out script. It officially opens on June 14.

Editorial: Parade accident doesn't mean Shriners should be banned
The accident during the Water Carnival parade Sunday involving a Shriner go-cart was unfortunate, but it doesn't mean Shriners should be banned from future parades.
The El Zagel Shrine has 12 units in North Dakota and Minnesota that each specialize in a different function for parades. Detroit Lakes has a color guard, for example.
Other units specialize as Vikings, Keystone Kops or clowns.
And some operate motorcycles, small red Mazda Miata sports cars, and racing go-carts. Those Shriners use speed, tricks and maneuvers to entertain the crowd.
The Shriners put on a great show, and have fun while they're doing it. The clowns this year, for example, engaged in a pitched water battle with some spectators near Washington Ballpark armed with water balloons. Faced with a losing battle, one clown resorted to dumping a pail of water on his tormentor's head.
With fewer floats and marching bands available, the Shriners are one of the best parts of the Parade of the Northwest. By some accounts, Shrine units made up about 10 percent of this year's parade.
It would be a much duller parade without the Shriners.
Which isn't to say there isn't room for improvement. Shriners are talking to members of the Detroit Lakes Jaycees, which organizes the Northwest Water Carnival and the parade, about safety improvements for next year.
Some Shrine units, for example, would prefer to be ahead of parade participants that throw candy, to avoid children chasing sweets and running into harms way.
Parents have some responsibility here, of course, to keep their children off the street during the parade. It's not a bad idea for everyone to back up a bit when Shriners are performing their high-speed tricks, either.
It can be easy to focus on an accident and forget the good that Shriners do.
Shriners Hospitals for Children is a unique health care system that helps kids through pediatric specialty care, innovative research and outstanding teaching programs.
Shriners have been raising funds for their hospitals since 1922, helping children 17 and under who suffer from orthopedic problems, burn injuries, spinal cord injuries and cleft lips and palates, among other things.
And the price is right -- treatment at the 22 Shriner hospitals across the country is free.

Please read the articles provided here to see why having and using credit will increase your credit score. You do not have to be in debt. In fact, being in debt is not good! But learning about and wisely using credit is fantastic!! I used to be a primarily "cash only" consumer until joining this site. Now I have several credit cards and purchased a new car last year. My credit score keeps going up thanks to the knowledge I gained from this site on how to play the credit game, and I'm on a fixed income.

As already said, you need to use credit in order to build and maintain good credit. Not using credit is almost as bad as having bad credit.

When a "national treasure" prop or costume from an iconic Hollywood movie or television show becomes available at auction, it can make headlines, especially among auction watchers, memorabilia collectors, as well as those who follow celebrity related news. One of the most sentimental TV-related props—Radar O'Reilly's Teddy bear from the hit show "M*A*S*H"—sold at One Of A Kind Collectibles Auctions on March 27, hammering for more than $14,000.
The bear, tagged as lot #197, "M*A*S*H Radar's Iconic Teddy Bear," was describes in the auction house catalog:
"Radar's iconic teddy bear from the television series M*A*S*H. … This little teddy bear is virtually synonymous with the Radar O'Reilly character. The teddy bear does exhibit some soiling due to its age and production use. A great prop from this Emmy Award-winning series. The Teddy Bear does come with a notarized handwritten letter from Mr. (Gary) Burghoff stating the facts of where the bear has been the last 30 years and that it is in fact the Teddy Bear he used on set all those years."
This lot had an opening bid of $500. Overall, there were 19 total bids made on the bear, and it eventually sold for $14,307.50, including the buyer's premium.
The Teddy bear—which never had a formal name on the show—had a quiet but important role on "M*A*S*H," which ran from 1972 through 1983. He made his first appearance in the tenth episode of the first season and then became a "regular" on the program and was written into the plot in one way or another throughout the rest of the series. The bear served as a prominent symbol of Radar's youth and naïveté, as well as a source of humor and an ongoing target for jokes throughout the series. After M*A*S*H ended, the set designer for the program apparently "adopted" the bear as a souvenir.
The bear later came up for auction in 2005 at a Profiles in History Hollywood Auction. The bear had a pre-auction estimate of $4,000 to $6,000 and eventually sold for $11,800, including the buyer's premium, to a buyer who knew the bear well—Burghoff, who bought the bear with a friend. It appears that Burghoff was the seller in this most recent auction.
So, just who—or what, really—is Radar's Teddy?
Although it is not stated in the catalog description, this bear appears to be a "Cubbi Gund Cuddle Bear," made by GUND, a producer and manufacturer of soft toys founded by German immigrant Adolf Gund in Norwalk, Conn., in 1898. This company is one of the larger plush manufacturers today, and is now headquartered in Edison, N.J. Gund introduced this Cubbi Gund Cuddle Bear—with a vinyl face or muzzle and a rayon plush body—in 1952 and the designed proved to be extremely popular. Many other U.S. manufacturers—including Ideal and Character—soon copied this plush and rubber concept.
Given that M*A*S*H took place during the Korean War in the early 1950s, it would make perfect sense that the Teddy bear featured in the program would have been from that period as well. Radar's Teddy is described as a "four circle" bear, given its round, contrasting paw pads. Overall, these cubs were unjointed, relatively flat, softly stuffed with foam rubber and had plastic eyes. They came in a variety of sizes and color combinations, including a panda version.
So how does this famous Teddy bear prop sale compare to others out there? Although $14,307.50 is a tremendous amount of money to most of us, it is but child's play compared to the prices paid for other tangible bits of our star-studded popular culture. Consider these mind-blowing price tags associated with some other well-known bits of Hollywood history:
• The Aston Martin DB5 used by Sean Connery in the movie "Goldfinger" sold for $4.1 million in 2010;
• The Cowardly Lion costume from the movie "The Wizard of Oz" sold in 2006 for $826,000;
• A rare phaser rifle prop from the original "Star Trek" TV series sold for $231,000 in 2013.

Texan tells police his $1,000 spent at a topless club was stolen
Updated 4:30 pm, Thursday, February 21, 2013
LA FERIA — Police say a 21-year-old South Texas man has admitted to concocting a story about being robbed of $1,000 because he didn't want his wife to learn he spent the money at a topless bar.
KGBT-TV in Harlingen reports Jesus Mata of San Benito recently received a tax refund and decided to spend the money Wednesday at Whispers. a gentleman's club in Harlingen.
He later contacted police to say gunmen with assault weapons took the money.
Law enforcement from La Feria and other agencies in the area conducted a search for the suspects. Mata was questioned a second time and inconsistencies were found in his story.
He was taken into custody Thursday and transported to the Cameron County jail on a charge of filing a false report.

Best thing to do is find a good instructor to help you. No amount of writing from us could equal a few hours with that instructor.
If that is not available, all I can say is concentrate on stance, grip, sight picture, breath control, trigger squeeze, follow through (the most often overlooked part).
Shoot slowly, not more than 50 shots at one session, or at least take a break of ten minutes each hour you are at the range. More often if you are the least bit tired. Practice, practice, practice, concentrating on all those factors. Look for flinching. Very important. Have someone watch you shoot. Have him tell you what he thinks of your technique. But be careful -- many want to be perceived as experts so they will give eroneous advice without either of you realizing it.
That's the best I can tell you without writing a book.

Residents at Clare Bridge Oro Valley, a senior living facility, were treated with a visit from the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum and some of its animals.
During the course of about an hour, Jesús García, who is an education specialist for the museum, showed off numerous animals to the residents. The animals included a young desert tortoise, Gambel's quail, Harris hawk, and the Arizona state mammal, a ringtail.
In addition to the animals, García showed the residents the skeleton of a desert tortoise, along with an empty shell. He let the people in attendance touch a wing of a hawk and feel how sharp the talons of a hawk were.
The museum's outreach program is available for business, libraries, non-profits, and school and youth programs.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
This cosplay wasn't hard to make, collar was a little annoying but everything else was pretty easy as far as creating a pattern and construction wise. I really loved making the bun part of the wig which was fabric and stuffing sewn onto the wig so it's cushion like. The wig is custom dyed to get the accurate color I wanted for Kouyuu. I wore contacts for Kouyuu even though it isn't that visible in pictures. This is one of my favorite characters of Saiunkoku and he wears my favorite color. :D He's so silly always getting lost in the same place haha.
- Personal Thoughts:
- I absolutely love Kouyuu, I am hoping to cosplay a few more Saimono cosplays, but Kouyuu is one of my favorites so I'll hopefully do his second season cosplay soon too as well as his other outfits if I can.

I'm a huge lychee fan, whether it's in a martini or juiced or just eating it the plain ol' fashioned way — the whole fruit! So, that being said, I was expecting this tea to jump out at me with lychee flavour. I understand that it's not infused and it's really just an essence of lychee. And in that respect it's really quite nice. But in terms of getting my lychee bang for my …. taste (?), it really missed the mark slightly.
It's a good one, but I think it's prompting me to mission a better version of itself. Suggestions anyone?

Cheaper food AFTER EU exit: Consumer boost as experts now say that prices WILL come down
He added: "Brexit holds many opportunities for reducing food prices in the UK. Not only will leaving the Common Agricultural Policy offer tremendous prospects to cut costs for hard-pressed Brits, our new trading options will be substantial.
"Rather than an arbitrary focus on trade with EU countries, we can look outwards as it becomes much easier to engage with new markets for food across the globe."
In a London speech Mr Clegg, now the Lib Dem EU spokesman, claimed that if the UK quit the EU single market in a "hard Brexit" there would be "turmoil" in the food and drink industry.
He predicted a 59 per cent levy on beef, 38 per cent on chocolate, 40 per cent on New Zealand lamb and 14 per cent on Chilean wine.
But UKIP Leadership candidate Bill Etheridge slammed the Remoaners' scare tactics as a return to the Project Fear campaign of the pro-EU camp during the referendum.
