Lots going on in the MOTU world. We got in a new sample of Moss Man. Almost there. His fur is not quite the right color, so we're going to hold off until we have a more finished sample on this guy before posting.
We also got early samples of Battle Cat in package in. Have a bit of an issue that his mask is falling off in package. We're doing everything we can to fix this before the full production is finished. He'll come in a box with a blister back (similar to the original toy) so worst case is the box can be opened without damage to slide the mask back on. But we'll do all we can to avoid this!
As soon as we have a better sample we'll post it for all to see.
And the big news, we've got our April 2010 figure all lined up. You can catch the first images of EVIL LYN in the next issue of Toy Fare magazine! Which version is she? You'll just have to wait until Toy Fare's 2010 preview in issue 150 to find out!

16 in. x 8 in. Aluminum Face-On Soffit Vent in Brown
Construction Metals
Pre stamped face on vent, sidewall, or under eave vent for surface mount. Finned louvers deflect rain or snow and prevent large insects from entering. Adequate ventilation reduces unwanted heat and moisture, reduces utility bills. Nail holes provided on flange.
3 in. Resin Circular Mini Wall Louver Soffit Vent in White (4-Pack)
Master Flow
The Master Flow High Impact Resin Circular Vent is an easy-to-install option for providing critical intake ventilation at hard to ventilate or other restricted areas. Product snaps into place. The one piece construction eliminates the need for screen.
14 in. Mill Finish Aluminum Roof Vent No Moving Parts Wind Turbine
Active Ventilation
Active Ventilation Products Aura Ventilator is our optimum exhaust attic ventilation product line that has a patented engineered design to create CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) of air flow with no moving parts. It is an excellent choice to exhaust attic heat in the summer to reduce hot attic temperatures. And, to exhaust moisture in the winter to keep the attic dry and cool to preserve attic insulation and prevent ice dams. The Aura Ventilation product line is made of durable rust free aluminum. Model AV-14-C2 is made up of 3 components: the vent head, collar and flange. Model AV-14-C2 is a 14 in. Dia. vent with a 2 in. collar height and 19 in. x 19 in. square flange. It has 144 sq. in. of Net Free Air Space. Its low profile is best used for a sloped roof. When air moves against the louvers of the outer cylinder it is directed to create a circular airflow. The louvers of the inner cylinder face in the same direction as the air movement created by the outside cylinder. This air movement creates a Venturi effect which produces a vacuum or negative pressure to pull air from within the attic space. The vent head has a flat one piece spun lid that prevents rain and snow from entering the vent verses the turbine vent which is open to the sky and allows rain water to enter in no wind conditions. 5 year warranty.

I don't know who to blame for this. Do we blame Cobo? The Detroit Auto Dealers Association? Kevyn Orr? Mike Duggan? Either way, someone's got to fix the ridiculous parking situation for the Detroit auto show's press preview days.
There are more than 5,200 journalists at NAIAS this year which is 10% more than last year. The show has grown every year — exponentially since the big crash. And yet parking is still stuck in the dark ages.
When I first started going to the auto show as a journalist a few years ago, I remember there were no card readers on the roof of Cobo Center, but card readers for the underground parking. This was late 2000s. There was no excuse for an exhibition center Cobo's size to not have a basic card reader in its largest parking space.
Once, I had to park to the side, run inside four floors down to the ATM (and pay the extra fees) and come back up just to get past the gate. But I'm not just thinking of myself. How about all those out-of-towners who had to have gone through the same thing? Great first impression in Detroit, right?
Relatively speaking, parking on the roof should be an easy task. It's where everyone parks, and it's where organizers advise you to park online. If you don't have a pass, you can pay the $10. It should be that easy. This year, however, is especially insane.
Talking with a few journalists at various parties last night, I found out a few things. One guy says that apparently the night before — the night before! — journalists arrived at Cobo, someone made a decision to not allow people with parking passes to park on the roof and only allow people with some kind of special permit. Passes are sent to journalists weeks before the show.
If you wanted to pay to park on the roof, you couldn't do that either. Usually if I don't have a pass beforehand, I just pay. Unbeknownst to what was going on, when I approached the guard to get on the roof, he wouldn't let me through. I drove past him anyway (like a boss!). I paid my usual $10, but the parking attendant in the booth said I technically wasn't supposed to do that because of the new rule (that even he wasn't clear on). Anyhow, even though I was basically parking illegally, I wasn't towed. So yeah, that's how you sneak onto the roof of Cobo Center.
Another writer I talked to said she also had a pass and was turned away, and ended up paying $45 just to get herself and a co-worker in another car on the roof. Now if that's two cars, and parking is $10, how did it turn out to be $45?
Nobody knows what the hell to do when it comes to parking for a two long-ass grueling days of being trapped in a convention center, and this is a problem. And this problem shouldn't be hard to iron out. Whoever's in charge of this, get it together.

Montclair State - 11, Farmingdale State - 1
Montclair, N.J. – The Farmingdale State softball team fell 11-1 in their first game of the NCAA Regionals on Friday afternoon in Montclair, N.J. Montclair junior shortstop Brianna Davidson (Monroe Township, NJ , Monroe Township) went 3-for-3 with three RBI while senior third baseman Dana Amato (Hillsdale, NJ, Pascack Valley) belted a three-run home run as top-seeded Montclair State rolled past fourth-seeded Farmingdale State, 11-1 in the NCAA Division III Montclair Regional on Friday afternoon.
Senior righthander Alex Hill (Parsippany, NJ, Parsippany Hills) allowed two hits and struck out 10 for the Red Hawks (37-6), who will face third-seeded Haverford College at 11:00 am on Saturday, May 10. The Fords knocked off second-seeded Wheaton College (MA), 6-2 in the first game of the day.
Freshman designated player Allison Dailey (Commack, NY / Commack) drove in the lone run for the Rams (23-13), who will face Wheaton at 1:30 pm in the first elimination contest of the tournament.
The Red Hawks, who defeated Farmingdale twice during the regular season, pushed across a run in the second inning to grab the lead. Melany Zeller (Bloomfield, NJ, Bloomfield) was hit by a pitch to open the inning and pinch runner Jeanine Karnilla (Bridgewater, NJ, Bridgewater-Raritan) moved up to second on a sacrifice. Davidson then line a ball up the gap in left-center scoring Karnilla for the 1-0 lead.
Montclair State busted the game open in the third inning with six runs sending nine hitters to the plate. Hill helped her own cause with an RBI single for the first run and senior second baseman Katie Muglia (South Plainfield, NJ, South Plainfield) smacked a run-scoring single for another giving MSU a 3-0 advantage. Davidson brought home two more with a single to left field and sophomore Jaclyn Allegretta (Hackensack, NJ, Hackensack) doubled home the last two runs for a 7-0 advantage.
Farmingdale State, held hitless through the first three innings, got their only two of the game in the fourth as it pushed across its run. Marissa Monaco (Bohemia, NY / Connetquot) doubled to right-center leading off the inning and a wild pitch allowed her to go to third with no outs. Hill got the next two hitters, however Dailey flipped a base hit into right field making the score 7-1.
MSU, which had 11 hits in the game, added four runs in the sixth for the final margin. Brooke Powers (Newton, NJ, Pope John XXIII) delivered the first run with a RBI single before Amato ended the game with a three-run homer, her ninth of the season.
Hill improved to 26-4 on the season while righthander Taylor Webb (West Babylon, NY / West Babylon) took the loss. Webb (12-5) allowed eight hits and seven runs, striking out two and walking one.

A group focus takes center stage and how the team is used to find solutions on the field that individuals can not due to game dynamics. Principles of attacking and defending help shape the player to find success on the field. Soccer development is still the primary focus; winning and physical abilities are secondary.
- Group tactics and decision making; defending & attacking
- Individual technique and motor skill development.
- Players are inspired to hard work and movtiated to be their best.

Vol. XXIII — No. 4
BETHEL INSTITUTE, St. Paul, Minnesota November 17, 1943
Bethel Faculty Covers Continent
From all parts of the country comes news of Bethel's globe-trotting
faculty. President Wingblade, Rev. Wyman Malmsten, Miss Esther Sa-ble,
and Mr. A. J. Wingblade were among those absent from school at
different times during the past weeks.
On stationery from the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City (al-though
he didn't stay there) President Wingblade writes on Monday,
Nov. 8—"As I am writing, the millionaires are walking by, but that's all
right.—Had a big day yesterday. Expect to be in Wilmington, Delaware,
Tuesday, Brockton, Mass., Wednesday, Norwood, Mass., Thursday, Mont-clair,
Friday, Brooklyn, Sunday afternoon and evening". President Wing-blade
has been asked to speak representing the school in these places.
"Bethel seems like a glorified
high school rather than a college,"
replied Kay Shimatsu when asked
what he thought of our school.
Keyio—known to all of us as Kay
"Lindskoog"—was born in Los An-geles,
California, twenty years ago
and lived there almost eighteen
years. In February of 1942, Kay
was among the many Japanese-
Americans who were removed to
Concentration Camps in various
parts of the country. He was sent
first to Camp in the suburbs
of Los Angeles.
The barbed-wire fences, guard
houses, and soldiers armed with
machine-guns and bayonets sick-ened
him and made him very bit-ter.
"I damned everything and ev-eryone.
I lost all the faith I ever
had," he says. "Only one word ade-quately
describes it all: Hell!"
Several months later he was
moved to another camp near ---,
Wyoming. Last fall, when the gov-ernment
asked for men to work on
the nearby sheep ranches, Kay vol-unteered.
He worked as a sheep
herder all winter.
This last spring he decided that
there was not enough of a future
in the sheep raising business, and,
as he didn't like it anyway, decided
to come east and continue his
schooling; New York was too far
away and too big, he figured. Chi-cago—
well, that wasn't quite as
bad, but he didn't like the sound
of it either. Finally, he decided on
St. Paul. As Kay expresseg it, he
"landed" in St. Paul early in July
and soon was working as desk
clerk in the Y.M.C.A.
Kay hadn't planned to attend
Bethel. He wanted to go to the
University of Minnesota, but be-cause
of his ancestry, was not ac-cepted
there. It was a St. Paul girl,
Miss Marjorie Lundholm, who in-fluenced
Kay to attend Bethel.
Kay likes it here. The people, he
maintains, are more friendly than
those on the coast. And the girls
of the Middle West aren't as at-tractive,
on the whole. "They don't
put their make-up on right," says
Did You Know?
There is a total enrollment at
Bethel Institute this year of 173.
There are 123 college students.
That there isn't even 1 fellow to
every two girls-38 college men, 85
There are almost twice as many
freshies as sop.hs-77 to 41.
There are 113 or more Swedish
Baptist students.
There are as many students
from Illinois as there are from Min-neapolis.
There is at Bethel one student
from India, one from Canada, one
from Arizona, one from Wyoming,
one from South Carolina.
Nov. 17 Missionary Band
Nov. 25 Thanksgiving
Nov. 26 Classes, as usual!
Dec. 1 Alexis
Myrtle Carlson Heads
Business Staff
New head of the business de-partment
of the Bethel office is
Miss Myrtle Carlson. She assumed
her duties on November 8, taking
over the job that Mrs. Vernon
Pear,qon held last year.
Plans were that she was to have
come last summer, but she was un-able
to leave her last position as
book keeper in Grantsburg, Wis-consin.
Miss Carlson is a former Bethel
girl, having studied in the commer-cial
department of the Academy.
She is the daughter of Phillip Carl-son,
active in Baptist work in Wis-consin.
Vernon Carlson, in charge
of the Bethel Camp at Woodlake,
Wisconsin, is her brother.
The main purpose of his trip
however has been to conduct serv-ices
for a week in the Trinity Bep-tist
Church of New York. While in
New York he secured the promise
of having Mr. Letourneau as speak-er
at the Bethel Founders' Week
celebration next spring. Another
point of interest in his trip was
his meetings with Luther Wessly
Smith and Donald Faulkner, heads
of the Northern Baptist Board of
The other end of the continent
marks the travels of Rev. Wyman
Malmsten for the purpose of rais-ing
funds for the new Men's Dor-mitory
and the school. With him
he has 600 feet of film showing life
at Bethel.

Happy Thanksgiving
A Dinner, a Dollar
I'm Only a Scholar
It is Thanksgiving Day. What am I thankful for? Oh yes, I
know. I am thankful for the dollar I am going to get for preparing
the dinner in this young couple's home. They are sitting in the
parlor with the guests now. Nice of Bethel to send me out; only
it's a good thing they don't know how badly I flunked my cooking
course in high school.
But, what is that I smell burning? Something familiar. It's the
turkey. I take off the cover and peer into depth and blackness.
Poking into the remains, I see bones sticking up out of the black,
stringy meat and I am reminded of a lumber yard I once saw burn-ing.
But that's all right. I always wondered if a black turkey
tasted the same as a brown one.
Better take a peek at the cranberry sauce. At least, I can
pretend they're cranberries. I used grapes. They're cheaper.
Oops! It's boiling over. I'll let it all boil over. It looks so pretty.
I read a story once about a mountain that boiled over. I wonder
if it looked like this. Well, that's done—I mean gone!
I'd better mash the potatoes. Perhape I should have peeled
them. But then, what's the difference? No one will ever notice.
Won't they be surprised when they find I used the wrong mix-ture
for the pie crust? But really, most people like pancakes any-way.
I can't help admitting that I think the filling I made is simply
scrumptous. I do hope no one minds removing the pumpkin seeds.
I gave them each an extra dish just for that purpose.
Now, what do you suppose is wrong with the guests? I have
just finished setting the table and they are leaving. Could it be
they really did mind waiting those extra three hours? No, they
just remembered they left the hot water-heater on. Poor folks!
They don't know what they are missing—I hear a door shut—or
rather slam. The Mr. and Mrs. are coming into the kitchen. There
is fire in his eyes and horror in hers. Didn't the results of my
noble efforts appeal to their sense of hunger? My coat is handy so
I guess I won't stay to find out. Anyway, what's one dollar to a
Bethel student?

Is a gold Star Necessary
For You to bnderstand ?
By Margaret Swanson
A little five-year-old girl whose brother was just leaving the station
turned to her mother and asked, "Why do we have war? why can't the
soldier's all come home?"
Yes, we can blame the war on Hitler—blame it on a hundred other
causes, but we merely reiterate the causes of wars for hundreds of
years. Twenty-five years ago on November 11 the Armistice was signed
to make the world "safe for democracy". Today, our brothers, sisters
and loved ones are again leaving American blood on scattered battle-fronts
all over the world. For what? Is it merely so that twenty-five
years from now our children will repeat this destruction like our fathers,
and us? Is it going to be an endless cycle of reiteration? Or are we
Bethelites who are here now enjoying the privileges of civilian life, go-ing
to prepare ourselves to meet the peace which must eventually come?
Yes, we know these things have been said until they've lost their mean-ing.
Besides the future there is the present we must also bear in mind.
I had a letter from a sailor the other day. He had been gone for nine
months and was with his crew, but let him tell you—"We even got as
near home-sweet-home as Chicago, but I didn't even get a chance to
call home—commonly known as telephone shortage." And when we Be-elites
go to call home on Thanksgiving let's think about that soldier,
sailor, or marine who is waiting for his call home to go through before
we call.
There's a petty officer who spent Armistice Day on board his ship
with a load of half-crazed, shell shocked victims of this war.
You all have little brothers and sisters here in America who are
safe. What about the children in Naples? Tom Tuanor, newspaper cor-respondent,
writes—"I remember at the Neurabili hospital that first day
we entered Naples there were two kids, brothers, six and eight, with
all four arms amputated, lying on the floor near one another. And in
the morgue there are children with bullet wounds showing on their half-naked
"There is one thing above all others that American parents (and you,
too) should be thankful for. It's that their children aren't growing up
in broken cities playing with booby traps and grenades and taking sol-diers
to ,their sisters."
You perhaps wonder now why I'm writing about Armistice day and
then centering my thoughts about this war. Why? Because we can't
do anything about the last war, but we can abou this one.
We pray to God every night and day for the fellows and girls in
service but then we leave it for God to take care of and go merrily on
our way.
What can- we do then? It seems as if these things fail to take on
meaning for us unless we've actually experienced it. But that doesn't
need to be so—there's no reason why a gold star should replace a blue
one on our windows before we begin to aid in this, our war.
Armistice Day may have seemed to be a mere mockery, observing
a peace when we're in a war ten times as great as the one that ended
on Nov. 11, 1918. But it ,should serve to remind us that on one day
out of the 365 there are others who are_giving their all for, us—who do
not hesitate to absorb the bullets of the enemy for us when we in turn
almost sneer in their faces and go complacently along in our own selfish
"The Call to
By Gunnar Hoglund
"In every thing give thanks: for
this is thewill of God" I Thessa-lonians
5:16. Thanksgiving season
will soon be with us again and al-though
this holiday often becomes
trite in its meaning to some; cer-tainly
none at Bethel can help but
say with heartfelt fervency, "We
have much to be thankful for."
Scores of our former classmates
are on the fighting fronts of the
world today going through experi-ences
that we could never imagine
—that thought alone should cause
us to be more grateful than ever.
To give thanks to God is not a
difficult task. It does not require
a study of theology or a college
degree to know the fine art of true
gratefulness. All that is needed is
for one to pause in the rush of
daily duties, count up our blessings,
and then turning our eyes upward,
whisper a child-like prayer:. "For
all this, thanks be to God". God
is pleased by sincere prayers of
gratefulness like that. The experi-ence
of Job in the Old Testament
indicates that one reason God
blessed him so mightily was be-cause
that while he sat in the ruins
of his home, destitute of all, he still
was willing to say: "The Lord hath
given, the Lord hath taken, blessed
be the name of the Lord".
The thankful heart pleases God
but pays dividends in our own lives
also. For we will find that every
time we add up our blessings re-ceived
at the hands of the Lord
we will receive a genuine challenge
for consecration. C. T. Studd, the
famous English missionary to Af-rica
spent the early years of his
life as an athlete with little regard
for the claims of God on his life.
One day the call of God came; he
listened, counted up what God had
done in his behalf and stated : "If
Jesus Christ be God and died for
me, there is no sacrifice too great
for me to make for Him." The re-sult
was a life given in unselfish
missionary work in Afirca. Studd
had obtained a challenge that chan-ged
the course of his life when he
had paused to count up the things
that God had wrought for him.
This year may all of us here at
Bethel display to the Lord lives
that are in all sincerity—thankful
to God.

`1eacher's Woes
One of our sophomore girls tells
of an experience she had in teach-ing
Bible School this summer. In
one of the schools she had a small
boy who had been a Christian for
about a year.
On one particular morning, when
the time had gone as much too fast
as it always did, an invitation was
given the children to stay for a
little prayer meeting.
Most of these small ones had
stayed to give their young-but-not
quite-pure-little hearts to the Lord.
The teachers prayed with them one
at a time, and when it came to that
certain little boy, she asked if he
didn't want to live a better life
and read his Bible every day.
He looked up with the heart-ren-dering
eagerness that belongs to
little boys and replied that he did.
pray now."
His eyelids shut out the outside
world, his hands clenched each oth-er
and he began, "Dear God, thank
you for taking all my sins away."
Another earnest sentence and he
broke off—
"Teacher!" (She couldn't help
but look up-) "You know what?"
He was all excited forgetting that
he had been praying. "Some kids
broke two big hornet's nests out-side,
and boy, were those hornets
The small head bowed again.
The eyes shut. He softly and sin-cerely
resumed his prayer where
he had interrupted himself.
Never a word was said about it
after he had finished. The child
seemed unaware of the impropriety
of the words he had uttered. The
teacher was concentrating on the
power of keeping .a straight face.
The only thing she could do about
the situation was to decide that

are made.

get the man they desire, that is if
someone else doesn't get him first.
It's the day when the girl does the

pocketbook is diminished, (depend-ing
on the fellow's appetite), and
the day the girl can take her man

very dignified and at times very

we find insurmountable ability to
stimulate laughter in those about
her. The dorm girls of last year
will think of her as one who in

table, preceding her humorous an-nouncement,
invariably got laugh-ter
before she even made her an-nouncement.
Perhaps this is what
led her to winning the speech-mak-ing

As to the origination of Sadie
Hawkin's Day, it is always asso-ciated
with the Comic Strip, "Little
Abner", and the story is told of a
Mr. Hawkins, a resident of the Com-munity
of Dogpatch, who had an
old maid daughter. One day he de-icded
to get all the eligible men in
town together, and, at the signal- of
a gun, a race was to begin, in
which his old maid daughter was
to chase after the men, and the
one whom she was able to catch
would have the "privilege" of be-coming
her "lawful wedded hus-band".
Since this story, Sadie
Hawkin's Day is still being remem-bered
in this Comic Strip and Dai-sie
Mae is still chasing little Ab-ner,
but regardless of what the
Comic's say, Miss Nelson is still
convinced that the day originated
in the Girl's Dormitory.

Homecoming festivities were cli-maxed

which is always played with much

It was the first appearance of

and although only a few practices

Implemented earlier this month, the weekly reporting of pork muscle cut volumes going into the international market will give the industry timely feedback on export trends that are critically important to a growing segment of the U.S. pork industry.
The decision to include pork muscle cut export volumes in the Mandatory Price Reporting (MAP) Act provisions dates back to the fall of 2010. As the percentage of pork production continues to climb, the demand for more current information follows. The Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) received its first weekly data on March 28 and issued its initial report on April 4.
The interest in pork exports is easy to understand. In 1994, the United States exported a modest 4.7% of total pork production (muscle cuts and variety meat) with a per-head value of $7.03. By 2007, the total had increased to 16.5% of total U.S. production with a per-head export value of $29.18. In February 2013, pork exports represented a much more robust 27.9% of total production with a per-head value of $57.56.
"There's no question that weekly export reporting is a useful tool," says Dan Halstrom, senior vice president of global marketing and communications for the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF). "It is an important weather vane for market tendencies."

It must be noted that while these statistics are valuable, they do not reflect trends in variety meat which, in February, accounted for 24.5% of the total volume of pork exports and 17.4% of the value. One important market that is not fully reflected in the muscle cut-only statistics is China. In February, more than 66% of the volume and value of U.S. pork exports to China was in variety meat.
While exporters are adjusting to the new sales reporting system, there likely will be some inaccuracies in the data for the near future. However, the data reported on April 4, which reflected exports for the week of March 29-April 4, is much more current than USDA's monthly data, which typically is reported two months after the month in question.
For January and February 2013, the top markets for U.S. pork exports – muscle cuts and variety meat – were:
· Mexico – 98,237 metric tons valued at $183.5 million.
· Hong Kong/China – 76,402 metric tons valued at $160.4 million.
· Japan – 71,248 metric tons valued at $320.1 million.
· Canada – 37,339 metric tons valued at $130.6 million.
· South Korea – 25,540 metric tons valued at $70.7 million.
Overall, pork exports are down 8% in volume and 7% in value vs. the first two months of last year. There are several challenges facing U.S. pork exports in 2013, including Russia's announcement that it will not accept U.S. pork exports until exporters can certify that their product is free of ractopamine residues. U.S. meat industry associations are working with USDA to develop a program for certifying exports to Russia.
Exports to South Korea from all suppliers have been limited by an oversupply of domestic products. In addition, Taiwan has refused to set a maximum residue level (MRL) for ractopamine in U.S. pork, although it has agreed to an MRL for beef.
On the positive side, pork exports in February grew at double-digit levels to Central and South America, led by Colombia, and in the ASEAN region, led by the Philippines. Exports to China also were up significantly in February after a slow January.

European Commission - Press release
Consumers: Determined Commission action ensures timeshare protection in all EU countries
Brussels, 31 May 2012 – Today, the European Commission closed an infringement case against Spain on the Timeshare Directive (Directive 2008/122/EC) after the country notified the Commission of a new law (Decreto-ley) transposing the rules. The Commission also closed a case against the UK following its recent transposition of the Directive for Gibraltar. As the Commission also closed cases against Lithuania, Poland and Slovenia on 22 March, this means that all Member States have now transposed the Directive into their national law.
The new Timeshare Directive, which replaces an older Directive from 1994 (Directive 1994/47/EC), was due to be transposed across the EU by February 2011. The new rules provide significant protection for consumers against unwanted timeshare contracts and contracts on similar holiday products, which often bear considerable financial risks for consumers. In particular, it has extended consumer protection to additional holiday products, for instance timeshare contracts for a period under three years, timeshare-resale contracts, timeshare exchange schemes and long-term holiday products such as participation in holiday discount clubs. There is now a uniform EU-wide 14-day cooling-off period, during which consumers may change their mind and withdraw from the contract while traders may not ask for any payments.
"The EU agreed on these common rules to protect its citizens against unwanted timeshare or timeshare-like contracts," said EU Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding. "Several Member States were late in providing the required protection to our citizens. But today we finally have good news for consumers: all Member States have put in place national measures to implement the EU rules on timeshares. The Commission's persistence has paid off, to the benefit of European consumers."
After ensuring that all Member States have adopted the necessary measures, the Commission will, as a next step, carry out a thorough assessment of the overall quality and completeness of the transposition.
The economic significance of this sector is demonstrated by the fact that roughly 1.5 million European households are timeshare owners, with more than one third coming from the UK and Ireland, the highest number of resorts being located in Spain.
Under the Directive, adopted on 14 January 2009, traders must provide detailed information to consumers in good time, before the consumer is bound by any contract, including the price to be paid, a description of the product and the exact period and length of stay that the consumer is entitled to under the contract. This information should be provided in the consumer's own language if they so choose.
The Directive also ensures that consumers may withdraw from a contract within a "cooling-off" period of 14 calendar days and that traders can never ask them for any form of advance payment or deposit during that period. Before the conclusion of the contract, the trader is required to explicitly draw the consumer's attention to the existence of the right of withdrawal, the length of the withdrawal period and the ban on advance payments during the withdrawal period.
Protection by the Directive now also covers new products and contracts which had been developed so as to avoid the application of the previous Timeshare Directive. For instance, the new Directive applies to timeshare contracts as well – agreements under which the consumer buys a right to use accommodation, such as an apartment at a holiday resort, during certain periods - lasting between one and three years and to products where the consumer is allowed to use, for accommodation purposes, different kinds of movable property (such as caravans and cruise or canal boats).
Re-sale contracts and long-term holiday products, are now also regulated by the Directive. Member States are obliged to inform consumers of the national law transposing the Directive and provide for appropriate penalties against traders who fail to comply with these rules. Member States must also encourage the development of adequate and effective out-of-court complaints and redress procedures for the settlement of consumer disputes.
All Member States were due to transpose the new Timeshare Directive into national law by 23 February 2011. In March 2011 the Commission sent letters of formal notice to 14 Member States which were late in transposing the Directive. Since, by September 2011, Spain, Poland, Slovenia and Lithuania had not taken any such measures, the Commission sent them reasoned opinions (See IP/11/1095).
Given that Lithuania, Poland and Slovenia adopted transposition measures in response to the reasoned opinion, these three cases were closed in March 2012.
On 17 March 2012, Spain published Real Decreto-Ley 8/2012 transposing the Timeshare Directive. It entered into force the following day and was validated by the Spanish Parliament on 29 March 2012.Through its recent transposition, Spain avoided the risk of financial sanctions which the Commission could have requested under the Lisbon Treaty (Article 260 (3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU) when taking a Member State to court for failing to transpose an EU directive.
The UK received a letter of formal notice in November 2011, and notified the Commission of the missing transposition for Gibraltar on 11 May 2012.

This module implements matching of contexts or terms with variables againts terms
matchCxt :: (Ord v, EqF f, Eq (Cxt h f a), Functor f, Foldable f) => Context f v -> Cxt h f a -> Maybe (CxtSubst h a f v)Source
This function takes a context
c as the first argument and tries
to match it against the term
t (or in general a context with holes
a). The context
c matches the term
t if there is a
matching substitution
s that maps holes to terms (resp. contexts in general)
such that if the holes in the context
c are replaced according to
the substitution
s, the term
t is obtained. Note that the context
c might be non-linear, i.e. has multiple holes that are
equal. According to the above definition this means that holes with
equal holes have to be instantiated by equal terms!
matchTerm :: (Ord v, EqF f, Eq (Cxt h f a), Traversable f, HasVars f v) => Term f -> Cxt h f a -> Maybe (CxtSubst h a f v)Source
This function is similar to
matchCxt but instead of a context it
matches a term with variables against a context.

Police say a Belmont man was beaten with a pipe on Tuesday, suffering multiple injuries to the head.
A Belmont police officer said he witnessed two brothers beating a man with a metal pipe on Tuesday night.
Police charged Gary Wayne Gilliam, 46, of 609 Broad St., Kannapolis, and Cameron Teddy Gilliam, 48, of 1644 Nicholson Ave., Rock Hill, S.C.
They are accused of assaulting Christopher Dean Williamson in the parking lot of Heritage Inn, 6822 Wilkinson Boulevard, around 9 p.m.
Gilliam, who lives at the inn, suffered a broken nose, a broken leg and cuts to his head, according to police.
Capt. M. Ward said in a release that Officer C. Falls was on patrol when he saw Gary Gilliam and Cameron Gilliam kicking, punching and beating Williamson.
Witnesses told police the incident stemmed from a disagreement over someone owing the Gilliams money. Ward is still investigating.
He said the men were arrested before the incident escalated further.
�I have no doubt that if Officer Falls hadn�t been where he was, and did what he did, the victim may have been killed,� he said.
Williamson was treated and released from CaroMont Regional Medical Center.
A woman identifying herself as a housekeeper answered the phone at the inn on Wednesday but declined to talk about the incident.
Gary Gilliam and Cameron Gilliam appeared before Judge James Jackson at the Gaston County Courthouse on Wednesday afternoon.
Jackson upheld a $250,000 secured bond for Gary Gilliam and a secured bond of $100,000 for Cameron Gilliam.
They are charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and inflicting serious injury.

As a property owner you have many obligations. If one of these involves having a Notice of Federal Tax Lien filed against your property, the IRS has some important tax information for you.
You may have to submit one of two application forms with the IRS, depending on your lien situation. To help you understand the process, we'll go line by line through the forms, giving you tips and telling you how to avoid errors along the way.
First, the critical question:
Are you selling, refinancing, or using your property as collateral for a loan that won't fully pay your tax debt?
If you answered "Yes" to this question, you need to apply to the IRS for what we call a discharge or subordination.
What is a discharge or subordination and how can it help me sell or refinance my property? Discharge means the IRS removes the lien from property so that it may transfer to the new owner free of the lien. Use Form 14135. Subordination means the IRS gives another creditor the right to be paid before the tax lien is paid. Use Form 14134.
We will not be talking about the estate tax liens here. If you need help with these, please refer to Form 4422 if selling, or Publication 1153 if refinancing. Nor will we discuss Purchase Money Mortgages. For information on this topic, please go to Publication 785.
Now let's get started. Your application for discharge or subordination will be handled on a first come, first served basis.
Here's our first important tip…
You need to get your discharge or subordination application to the IRS at least 45 days before the sale or loan settlement meeting. If the Notice of Federal Tax Lien is discovered late, your sale or loan could be delayed.
You need to include the documentation for your settlement meeting with your application.
This brings us to our second tip…
Not only is it important to answer the questions on the application form, but also to attach readable copies of the documents requested. Incomplete applications will delay the IRS decision. We'll discuss where to mail your paperwork later.
By the way, if you are trying to avoid foreclosure, be sure to indicate this on your application and the IRS will do its best to expedite your request. The IRS will review your application based on the specific facts of your situation and the law, and contact you if there are questions.
Ok. Let's look at the application forms you'll need, if you're applying to the IRS for a discharge or subordination. It may be helpful at this point to download from IRS.gov or have a copy of the forms 14135 or 14134 to follow along.
To help you with the application process, you will need Publication 783 or 784, which contain instructions on filling out the forms, have the application forms themselves, along with FAQ's.
Sections 1, 2, and 3 of either the discharge form 14135 or the subordination form 14134 are self-explanatory. If you are using a representative, fill in section 4, and be sure to indicate who is being represented.
Here's another tip:
While having a representative is not required, if you hired someone to represent and speak on your behalf, attach Form 2848. Both of you must sign this form.
If you want the IRS to share your information with someone else, you would attach Form 8821. If you are attaching one or both of these forms, check the "yes" box in section 4.
In Section 5, you would fill in the contact information for your finance company.
The information in Section 6 will vary depending on the type of transaction.
If you are selling, use form 14135 and enter the sales price. If you are refinancing or getting a loan, use form 14134 and enter both your existing and new loan amounts.

[Fabien Royer] has been playing around with Netduinos and he just came up with a really awesome project that will display the time and social media popularity. It's a very nice build, and we'd guess that his social media influence is going to go up very shortly.
Klout is a service that connects to your Facebook or Twitter profile and tells you how much influence you have on a scale of
1 to 100 (possibly 10 to 100. see this). To build the Klout Klock [Fabian] used a Netduino Plus, a good choice because of the integrated ethernet port. The Netduino connects to the Klout API to either satiate vanity or admit prestige. The display is an adafruit TFT screen.
