TEFAF New York Fall 2016
TEFAF New York Fall 2016
Have a look at the TEFAF NY Fall Building Up Time Lapse*.
The long-standing collaboration between Tom Postma Design and TEFAF - one of the world's leading art fairs - has started a new chapter with the arrival of two new art fairs in New York.
TEFAF New York Fall, to be visited from 22 to 26 October, features 94 dealers of fine art, design, furniture and jewellery from antiquity through the early 20th century.
The design brief Tom Postma Design received over a year ago for the design of the first edition of TEFAF New York Fall 2016 at the Park Avenue Armory was concise. It was to create a fair, in both the central Wade Thompson Drill Hall and the beautifully restored front building with period rooms, that is TEFAF- worthy, that would be absolutely spectacular and never seen before in this historical building.
The simplicity of that brief appeared to be quite the design challenge; how would we go about creating a modern and bright art fair in a beautiful, but rather dark, classical nineteenth- century building?
Tom Postma: "We wanted to create an elegant and exceptionally comfortable experience to enjoy art, without losing sight of our key principle which is that the architecture should never try to compete with the art. So we created a second skin for the complete front building, entrance, corridors and period rooms, to turn this historical venue from dark to light".
The skin exists of an elegant temporary structure of translucent, voile walls. The free standing structure has a special integrated lighting system that brings light into the grand corridors and beautiful period rooms. Through the illuminated transparent walls, the visitors will still be able to see and feel the presence of the historical building and its art pieces.
Tom Postma: "Our design concept integrates two stories; the modern, unique, high quality TEFAF atmosphere combined with our respect for the historical vibe of the building".
The Spring edition of TEFAF New York focuses on modern and contemporary art and design from the 20th century up through today and took place from 5 - 9 May 2017.

FORTUNE — Stockholm-based Wrapp, the company known for giving away gifts, is on the receiving end of a present from Sand Hill Road this morning — $15 million in funding. Wrapp, whose app enables users to send free and paid gift cards to friends or family using a smartphone or Facebook, today announced a Series B funding round that increases the company's total fundraising to more than $25 million. Three Series A investors, including Greylock Partners and Atomico, were joined by three new investors, including American Express (AXP), in the new round.
The new financing is intended to expand Wrapp's U.S. operations, including its San Francisco office, says CEO Hjalmar Winbladh. The company plans to relocate its user-facing team from Stockholm to San Francisco, which will make the Silicon Valley office the company's largest. Winbladh also hopes to add more U.S.-based retail partners in the near future, citing the "maturity" of the U.S. market as a core reason behind the decision to expand. Wrapp already partners with retailers like Nike (NKE), Victoria's Secret, and Gap (GPS), but has other major corporations atop its wish list: Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), and Best Buy (BBY), to name a few. Wrapp users have sent nearly 15 million gift cards using the app, says Winbladh, although only 9 million have been received (users aren't able to receive gift cards if they don't have the app). Of those 9 million, roughly 18% are actually redeemed, he adds.
MORE: Best Buy: Not your standard comeback
The social-gifting landscape has changed dramatically in the past year, and a number of companies were acquired as the shift toward mobile payments and e-wallets took hold. Facebook (FB) purchased the gift-giving app Karma just over a year ago for more than $80 million, according to Bloomberg; LaunchRock bought (and then shut down) Giftiki in the fall, a startup that allowed users to pool their money to buy friends or family expensive gifts as opposed to numerous cheaper ones; and just last month Giftcards.com purchased San Francisco-based Giftly, a company similar to Wrapp, in order to expand its mobile presence. Where Wrapp seems to differentiate itself, however, is in the (monetary) support it has received from VCs. (Giftly, for example, had raised $2.8 million in funding at the time of its acquisition. Giftiki raised just over $1 million.) Wrapp's board also has some notable names, including LinkedIn (LNKD) co-founder Reid Hoffman, Skype co-founder Niklas Zennström, and former CEO of Eddie Bauer and H&M Fabian Månsson.
Winbladh has no plans to sell his company, which he started in his native Stockholm in 2011. Instead, he feels that the app could someday be used by retailers as a marketing tool to target possible consumers. The Wrapp application currently has a "Brand Pages" section that allows brand loyalists to receive extra gift cards or exclusive rewards. He also envisions geo-targeted campaigns in the future, where simply walking by a retailer may elicit a coupon or gift card sent directly to the user's smartphone. Says Winbladh, "There is so much left to do in this space."

Lauren appeared alongside no less than 3 starring/recurring Six Feet Under actors in the movie Can't Hardly Wait in 1998: Eric Balfour, Peter Facinelli, and Freddy Rodriguez.
Lauren Ambrose: I came to L.A. to work and become a better actress, not to be a star.
Lauren Ambrose: (about Six Feet Under) I never thought about being on a series before. It seemed like such a big commitment. But I love going to work every day. This is not about ego, it's about work, and that's refreshing in this town
Lauren Ambrose: Being an actress is similar to trying to fit in with the popular kids in high school. You're expected to drive the right car, wear the right clothes and say the right things.

Portrait photographer in Garner, NC
August 2013
It was an exciting day photographing Brittney in Garner, NC. The weather was looking to put a damper on the day but held off long enough to get some photos outside in addition to the historical interior of the house. The house was over 100 years old and a true landmark of the area. Outfitted as a salon for the owners who performed the makeup and hair styling for the day.

I may have gone a bit too far.
And it's all Sting's fault. Why? Because he exists is one reason but the main reason is that he has become so irrelevant that he's not even good for a punchline anymore. Sting used to be huge, used to make interesting music, used to be a ponce who was easy to mock. But now? There's nothing left to mock. I mean, he comes up with an orchestral/rock/lame cd and I can't find a joke there? Perhaps it is my fault, most likely it's mine, okay, it's all mine. But I'm still going to blame Sting. Suck it, Gordo.
The Disclaimer:
The opinions stated by Rick Dodge in no way reflect the opinion of the writer of the strip (that's me), the artist of the strip (also me), or the webmaster of the strip (Hi, Ken). Any music Rick Dodge says sucks may or may not suck, any music he professes to like may or may not suck. The only exception being ABBA, who no matter what – will always suck.
Further, this strip is a commentary on the maxim that the longer a thread exists on a forum the more likely it is that someone will call someone else Hitler. Rick Dodge doesn't wait for pages of slowly devolving name calling to go for the Nazi card, he plays it strong and up front. He's a bit of a bastard that way.
Okay, that was definitely a winner.

Recently launch Googles most awaiting and mysterious version Android M is now support Google Theme Support. Themes are always far away from google but now is it possible to all users like
Samsung,Lg, Sony companies It's Own Theme features.
Samsung, HTC and LG have all added theme support in their latest flagship devices and it seems that themes could be catching on, with Google adding limited support for themes in its latest Android M OS. The theme engine uses the same Runtime Resource Overlay (RRO) that Sony uses to theme its ROMs in Sony Xperia handsets and has since been merged with AOSP.
One of the biggest criticisms with some OEMs is the look and feel of their interfaces – many people don't like the look of TouchWiz and Samsung's icon set as an example – and themes aim to solve this by offering an alternative without voiding warranty or requiring root. Taking the example of TouchWiz, Samsung adds a lot of options and features not present on stock Android and themes allow you to keep access to all of these features while personalising the look and feel of your handset. Now people can use Radish Black, Grey and White Background color theme's.

Ben Jackson Wins National Hearing Conservation Association's 2008 Media Award For Academy's "Turn It to the Left" Rap
American Academy of Audiology Also Receives Honorable Mention
(RESTON, VA—March 6, 2008)—The American Academy of Audiology and musician Benjamin Jackson were recognized by the National Hearing Conservation Association (NHCA) at their convention, February 21-23, in Portland, OR.
Jackson, who wrote and recorded the Academy's "Turn It to the Left" rap single, was recognized with the NHCA's 2008 Media Award. In addition, the Academy was given an Honorable Mention, along with Dr. Sharon Kujawa and Richard Knox of National Public Radio (NPR), for their "support and advocacy" in "extending the reach of the music and its message across the country."
"Turn It to the Left," which Jackson performed at the convention, raises awareness of noise-induced hearing loss. The rap's hook urges all to take the volume control and "turn it to the left" to prevent hearing loss from personal music players.
The NHCA 2008 Media Award is the second award won recently by the Academy for its noise-induced hearing loss campaign. Last December, the Academy won the 2008 Associations Advance America Award of Excellence from the American Society of Association Executives & The Center for Association Leadership for "Turn It to the Left."
Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a major public concern. It is estimated that more than 5 million children, or 13 percent, suffer from NIHL. Experts agree that NIHL can be prevented in users of personal music players by turning down the volume, or turning the volume dial "to the left."
The NHCA was founded in 1976 and is dedicated to the prevention of hearing loss due to noise and other environmental factors in all sectors of society. NHCA's Media Award was established in 1993 and recognizes producers of news features and/or writers who heighten public awareness of the hazards of noise.

Republic of Costa Rica
A center of biological diversity!
Costa Rica, officially the Republic of Costa Rica (Spanish: Costa Rica or República de Costa Rica) is bordered by Nicaragua to the north, Panama to the east and south, the Pacific Ocean to the west and south and the Caribbean Sea to the east.
Historians have classified the indigenous people of Costa Rica as belonging to the Intermediate Area, where the peripheries of the Mesoamerican and Andean native cultures overlapped.
Like the rest of Central America, Costa Rica never fought for independence from Spain. On September 15, 1821, after the final Spanish defeat in the Mexican War of Independence (1810–1821), the authorities in Guatemala declared the independence of all of Central America. That date is still celebrated as Independence Day in Costa Rica, even though, technically, under the Spanish Constitution of 1812 that had been readopted in 1820, Nicaragua and Costa Rica had become an autonomous province with its capital in León. In 1838, long after the Federal Republic of Central America ceased to function in practice, Costa Rica formally withdrew and proclaimed itself sovereign.
Costa Rica is composed of seven provinces, which in turn are divided into 81 cantons (Spanish: cantón, plural cantones), each of which is directed by a mayor. Mayors are chosen democratically every four years by each canton's people. There are no provincial legislatures. The cantons are further divided into 421 districts (distritos). The provinces are:
Other places and informational links for Costa Rica:
Home to a rich variety of plants and animals, Costa Rica is a center of biological diversity for reptiles and amphibians, including the world's fastest running lizard, the spiny-tailed iguana (Ctenosaura similis). It contains 5% of the world's biodiversity. Around 25% of the country's land area is in protected national parks and areas.
The Corcovado National Park, is internationally renowned among ecologists for its biodiversity (including big cats and tapirs) and is where visitors can expect to see an abundance of wildlife.
Tortuguero National Park (can be translated as "Full of Turtles") is home to spider, howler and white-throated capuchin monkeys; the three-toed sloth and two-toed sloth; 320 species of birds; and a variety of reptiles. The park is recognized for the annual nesting of the endangered green turtle, and is the most important nesting site for the species. Giant leatherback, hawksbill, and loggerhead turtles also nest there.
The Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve is home to about 2,000 plant species, including numerous orchids. Over 400 types of birds and more than 100 species of mammals can be found there.
Juan Santamaría Airport (SJO) is located close to the cities Alajuela, Heredia and the capital San José. Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (LIR) is near Liberia in the Guanacaste province. Tobías Bolaños International Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional Tobías Bolaños) (IATA: SYQ, ICAO: MRPV) i(LIR) is in the Pavas district of San José about a 10-15 minute drive from the city center. Most visitors can get into Costa Rica without the need of a Visa and can stay in the country for 90 days.
The Interamericana (Pan-American Highway) runs through Costa Rica and is the main entry point by car. There are bus services from the neighboring countries of Panamá, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Mexico and Guatemala.
There is twice daily boat service from Los Chiles (in NE Costa Rica), former home of the Contras, to San Carlos, Nicaragua. Small ship cruises carrying less than 100 passengers begin in Panama and end in Costa Rica or reverse. These cruises visit popular National Parks such as Manuel Antonio but also visit remote beaches and coastline not accessible by road. Larger cruise ships occasionally dock or anchor at Porto Caldera and Puntarenas for a day or so, usually to begin, end or continue cruises with itineraries through the Panama Canal to or from Caribbean or U.S. ports.

Hello Norwood Community,
We are reaching out to you because this week our school experienced a sudden and tragic loss beyond comprehension. Our wonderful sixth grade teacher, Mrs. Lozano, had her 2 year-old son, Levi, pass away suddenly and unexpectedly on Wednesday afternoon. In this unbelievably difficult time we are letting our community know because Mrs. Lozano, and her mother, Cheryl Baker, have been such an integral part of the Norwood Creek Community for the past two decades and we've already had a number of people reach out asking what can they do to help.
During this extremely difficult time Mrs. Lozano, her husband Andy, along with their family, are requesting privacy so they can have time to grieve and plan next steps. If you would like to send Mrs. Lozano any well wishes, we ask that you refrain from emailing or calling her directly. Instead, please drop off anything you wish for her to have at our front office. We will make sure all items are delivered to her and her family.
Another way to help is by visiting the Go Fund Me page created by one of our teachers for the Lozano family to help with the financial burdens that they are now presented with in light of this terrible tragedy. If you would like to donate, please follow this link.
We thank you for your overwhelming kindness and respect for her privacy during this very difficult time.
In loving memory of Levi Lozano - February 20, 2016-June 6, 2018

All-Ireland success for St. Corban's quiz team
A quiz team from St. Corban's boys national school landed an All-Ireland title.
They finished on top of 100 competing teams to earn the national quiz crown at the RDS, Dublin.
The quartet qualified for the All Ireland Credit Union Schools Quiz final following success at local and regional level.
Under the watchful eye of quizmaster Marty Whelan and Naas Under 13 team progressed through the rounds and into the final.
The winning team were David Kiely, Seán Usher, Cormac Dempsey and Kevin Singleton. They were prepared for the event by Ms. Breeda Dunne and Mr. Michael O'Reilly.
The school has a very proud tradition in quizzes and the St. Corban's U11 team also won the local area level quiz in 2013. That team were: Dylan Stewart, Owen Sheridan, Tom O'Sullivan and Joe Morrin. Ms. Dunne has prepared many quiz teams over the years and is aware of the hours of hard work put in by the boys and their parents.
The annual event, now in its 22nd year has become a highlight of the school calendar, attracting over 25,000 participants in over 300 venues throughout the 32 counties.
Speaking at the RDS, President of the ILCU Jimmy Johnstone said: "Many of the children involved, along with their parents and teachers, have put in a huge amount of work for this event. Congratulations to the winners – it was closely fought at the end.
"Over the past 22 years we have continued to support the quiz to help stimulate children's natural curiosity," he added.

Dear all
No blogging in the last few weeks as I visited family and friends in Germany. Back now 🙂
When I have overcome my jetlag I will be back!
First impressions when flying into MEL from Dubai: Good to be back in Australia! The winter is over here and the Jacaranda is flowering… Ocean warm and nice. Not too hot because there is a nice breeze at the Gold Coast.
And the whales are back!
Will not go to the coast without my binoculars the next few weeks!

Is it possible to have more then one specular or bump map coexist in the same material definition? I'm at work and just had a thought about this.
{ blend bumpmap map addnormals( models/hexen/weapons/mace/_mace_local.tga, heightmap ( models/hexen/weapons/mace/_mace_h.tga, 5 ) ) }
What about specular maps? I knew about the local and height map combo that pretty much everything uses but not that addnormals double tga thing. Thanks for that. But what of specular maps? Would be good to be able to use 2 of them at the same time.
{blend specularmapmap image1.tga}{blend specularmapmap image2.tga}
{ maskcolor map makealpha(<insert a 4-32 step grey scale image of your specularmap here with high contrast.tga>) } { blend gl_dst_alpha, gl_one maskalpha cubeMap env/gen2 //rgb 0.3 texgen reflect } { blend gl_dst_alpha, gl_one maskalpha cubeMap env/gen2 //rgb 0.3 texgen reflect }

Eggs poached in silicon cup
Quite a few people find poaching eggs difficult and technology comes to the rescue. A silicone cup produces a neat-looking poached egg. Another benefit of poaching in a cup is the ability to add flavourings and various ingredients, such as mushrooms, bacon, herbs, etc.
All you need to do is butter the cups, put whatever you like to flavour your eggs with and add the egg. Then, close the lids and put the cups in simmering water. Let the eggs simmer until cooked to a desired consistency.
Serve with fried potatoes or for a healthier version - on a piece of toast.

Kya Mast Hai Life (क्या मस्त है लाइफ) is a 2009 –2010 Buena Vista International television series produced for Disney Channel India. It was released on April 27, 2009 after a special behind-the-scenes preview on April 25 and 26. The first season, which ended on November 5, 2009, focused on the lives of five teen friends: Ragini, Zeeshan ('Zee'), Zenia, Ritu and Vir. The second season started on April 17, 2010 and ended on July 4, 2010.
Antoine Villeneuve, senior vice-president and managing director, Walt Disney Television International India, says, "Teens today are wise and wired. Kya Mast Hai Life follows Disney Channel's philosophy of reflecting them, their families, their universe in an entertaining, safe and family inclusive environment." The channel has commissioned production house SOL to produce the show.
Fazila Allana, managing director of SOL, said, "We are excited about producing our first fiction show with a leading teen and family television brand like Disney Channel. SOL is well known for its expertise in non-fiction programming and television events. We look forward to establishing similar success with Kya Mast Hai Life in the fiction genre."
Season 1
Ragini Juneja Rags is a teenager and the daughter of the Bollywood megastar "Sushmita Juneja". At her new college, Redfield Academy, she meets Zenia Khan, Zeeshan Khan aka Zee (Zenia's twin brother), Vir Mehra, and Ritu Shah aka BBB ("Bin Badal Barsat"): a gang of inseparable childhood friends. She doesn't want anyone to know that she is the daughter of a famous actress and wants to make friends on her own, not for who her parents are. She lies and says that her mom is a kindergarten teacher. Her friends eventually find out her secrets and, while initially angry, they eventually forgive her.
Afterwards, the series is elongated, exaggerated and made more fun with many episodes involving the comical lives of the five friends. Redfield Academy is told to shut down because its manager said that he's going to give it some other person. Sadly, they would all have to move to a different college. This makes all of them sad. But the whole college joins together to stop it from shutting down by organizing a campaign. Ragini and Vir fall in love, and Zenia and Zee fall in love with Jango and Kimi respectively. Ritu finds love with a new kid at college, Aryan. At one of their concerts, Ragini reveals to the whole college that she is the daughter of the famous actress Sushmitha Juneja, which surprises everyone. Further campaigns and programs led to the happy reopening of the college. Songs: Koi hai koi true friend Ye to Jaan lo Are yaari hi hai asli dosti ab to maan lo Ji to ya Haro wo bas kehdo cooliooooo Kya Kya Kya Kya mast mast hai Kya mast hai life Kya mast hai life Kya Kya Kya Kya mast mast hai Kya mast hai life Dost hain ye Jaddu friendship ka Dosti tootegi never Ye khushi rahe forever Hai wo hi yar yaar on ka
Season 2
The events of the second season take place during summer vacation. Zee works at a bookstore in which Mr. Mandal is temporarily in charge. Ritu is shown to be in Ahmadabad. Zee and Zeenia's mother is introduced. The season starts off with Zee discovering a magic potion which makes the last thoughts of the characters come true. Later, when Ritu returns, Rags, Zee, Zenia, and Vir have a wonderful adventure with the magic potion. When they visit Ragini in Thailand the magic potion turns out to be a ghost who wants to take revenge on the gang because of a mistake Zee made. Zee eventually defeats him, and they celebrate Ragini's birthday happily. They all breathe a sigh of relief thinking that the magic potion which had caused them so much trouble was gone, but it is actually back in Zee's bag. The series ends with a triumphant episode and it says that the five will be best friends forever.

Kya Mast Hai Life Season 2 received poor ratings. But even if the show's second season received poor ratings, shows like Ishaan and Best of Luck Nikki couldn't reach the overwhelming ratings of Kya Mast Hai Life. The first season's response was excellent. This was due to the actors' performance and the show's stories. Due to their popularity, the Disney India offered them many advertisements and soon the show became an award-winning.The show's rating is of about 10.5. It is the highest rated show on Disney India till date.

While traveling through Peru we became quite enamoured with the local beverage, the Pisco Sour. My husband is a beer connoisseur and prefers to taste all the local brews while I prefer a tart cocktail that hits my toes almost as fast as I can blink. But we both liked this foamy drink made with fresh lime and frothed egg while. Unfortunately, due to the fact that Peru was not the last stop on our world backpacking tour, we did not buy any to bring back out of fear of customs and it smashing in our backpacks. And we sorely disappointed to find it was a difficult purchase back home (hopefully you don't have this dilemma). However, the booze gods heard our pleas and sent my husband to Chile for work only a few years later where he brought back a big beautiful bottle of Pisco and various mix kits -- including purple corn and mango (though in my opinion the original lime is the best). Now, you can make virgin Pisco sours, and I have imbibed in these whilst pregnant, but there is nothing quite like a true Pisco sour, the booze really does make the drink. And the drink is spectacular.
Elissa had been right; it was a party hostel. No matter what time of day it was, bass, loud and heavy, beat around the building, and it was no different up on the pool deck.
"Did you know that Lima is home to one of the oldest higher-learning institutions in the New World? The National University of San Marcos, which was founded in 1551 during the Spanish colonial regime, is the oldest continuously functioning university in the Americas." He tipped back his beer and lifted his aviator-clad eyes up to meet mine. All I saw was my own reflection, and I was giving him an amused half-smirk. "What?" he asked.
I giggled. "I can't figure you out. Beast in the sack. Bossy as fuck, but then you're also this adorable, fact-spewing nerd."
Even though I couldn't see his eyes I didn't need to to read his body language, and suddenly I found myself beneath him, in front of everyone on the pool deck.
He stretched himself on top of me. "I'll show you who's a nerd, woman." He went to grab my hand, and I can only assume, whisk me back to the bedroom, when our plan of more naughtiness was suddenly interrupted.
"There you are," Elissa sang, coming up beside us, looking incredible in her hot-pink bikini. Matt was in her wake, board shorts hanging low and a towel draped around his neck.
"How were the caves? Or were they tunnels?" I asked. Derrick moved back over to his own lounger and took a swig of his beer. I followed suit and took a sip of my pisco sour, this drink that Elissa had introduced to me the night before and had quickly become an addictive favorite. Pisco was a clear brandy local to Peru and Chile, and bartenders added fresh-squeezed lemon or lime, simple syrup, and a frothed egg white. It was cool, tart and refreshing, like summer in a boozy glass, and I was already on my fourth for the afternoon.
"Tunnels." She grinned, pulling up a lounge chair next to me. "They were cool. Is that a pisco?"
I nodded and took another sip, frowning when I realized it was empty, my straw making that slurpy sound at the bottom.
Derrick chuckled. "Empty?"
I pouted and nodded again.
He stood up and nodded at Elissa; she grinned with a wink.
"Fear not m'ladies, for I shall replenish your beverages." And he sauntered toward the bar, looking sexy as hell in his black board shorts, while Matt loped after him.

Sour Cocktail Every Time
To get the most authentic version of this classic Peruvian cocktail, be sure to heed the following tips:
- Tip 1: Very tart lime juice is essential. Many recipes call for lemon juice, possibly a translation error from the Spanish word limon. Limones are actually small South American limes, similar to key limes (also known as "Peruvian lemons").
- Tip 2: Remember that the skin of limes has a lot of essential oils that can be a tad too bitter and sour, so when squeezing your limes, be sure to keep the flesh side facing down and not running down the lime peel. Also, don't drop the lime in as garnish after it's been squeezed into your drink as it will also tamper with the taste.
- Tip 3: Keep the simple syrup really simple. You can use any recipe for simple syrup you want, but the easiest and yummiest option is to forgo the weird sweeteners, artificial sweeteners or expensive syrups and just do 1:1 ratio of sugar to water and mix.
- Tip 4: Don't be scared of using real egg whites. You can always use pasteurized liquid egg whites from a container, but the texture is not quite the same and can affect the look and taste of an authentic pisco sour.
- Tip 5: Shake your cocktail well so that when you pour it into an old-fashioned glass, you get a nice 1/2-inch layer of foam on top.
- Tip 6: Don't stress if you don't have Angostura bitters on hand, you can do without. Instead, you can try a sprinkle of cinnamon on top of the foam, but that is not necessary either.
What You'll Need
- 3 ounces pisco
- 1 ounce simple syrup
- 1 ounce key lime juice
- 1 egg white
- 2-3 dashes Angostura bitters
How to Make It
- Mix the pisco, lime juice, simple syrup, and egg white in a cocktail shaker.
- Add ice to fill, and shake vigorously. Alternatively, you can use a blender if you don't have a shaker.
- Strain into an old-fashioned glass, and sprinkle the Angostura bitters on top of the foam.
- Serve immediately.

Sumter County has perfected its recipe for successful economic growth, with the correct measurements of a skilled workforce, reliable infrastructure, transportation arteries, low costs, available property and pro-active leadership. The result? The largest project in Sumter County history and a steady, positive recovery in existing industry job numbers.
The big news for Sumter County is the October 2011 announcement that Continental Tire would bring 1,600 jobs and a $500 million investment to the community.
"Over the lifespan of the agreement inked between the company and the community, Continental Tire will help the community in so many ways, from payroll to increased revenue for local governments and schools," says Jay Schwedler, president and CEO of the Sumter Development Board. "The company plans to be producing tires here in Sumter by the middle of 2013. At more than $500 million, this is the largest capital investment Sumter County has ever seen, and roughly 10 times the size of the previous largest project. With more than 1,600 guaranteed jobs coming, Continental Tire will quickly become a major player and contributor to the entire region."
While winning the Continental Tire project in a very competitive national search is big news, it isn't the only project that's been cooking in Sumter County.
Existing Industries in Growth Mode
"We took some losses in the early 2000s, mostly from companies deciding to migrate toward lower labor costs," Schwedler says, noting that since then, empty buildings have sold to new and existing industries. "The good news is we've stabilized and have begun to reverse those trends. Over the past year our existing industries have created more than 450 new jobs, and when you combine those with the new announcements and expansions, we had a net gain of about 650 jobs. That's not only progress, it's tremendous progress for a community that lost jobs year in and year out for nearly a decade."
New and expanding companies are breathing new life into vacant buildings, with projects including Au'Some Candies, which will begin production in 2012 with 120 new jobs, and Sykes Call Center, which started as a 150-job announcement in 2009 and is now using the Sumter center as their model facility with 950 employees. Then there's Kaydon, which has ramped up its Sumter workforce to about 400 employees, investing more than $40 million in a series of expansions.
"The area is very supportive of its industrial partners, and the leadership provides tremendous help at the local and state levels, helping us to be successful," says Al Hubbard, plant manager at Kaydon Plant 12 and a Sumter native. "The education systems are willing to do what it takes to develop the potential workforce, and you've got the people in the area who are very committed to doing a good job."
Sumter's Can-Do Attitude
Schwedler credits the success to the community's "American Spirit, Global Edge" can-do approach to business. "We have a great community that has proven time and again that we are among the best at taking care of our business. When you couple that with the strength of our military assets in the region, and specifically with regard to our partners at Shaw Air Force Base, we are an attractive place to call home."

American officers were pretty understanding about the "claustrophobia" you speak of, and typically wouldn't "order" one of our soldiers to go down and search a tunnel when they found one, but would ask for volunteers instead.
No trip to Vietnam will be complete without visiting the famous underground Cu Chi tunnels. It is as huge a part of Vietnam's history as its temples and pagodas. These underground tunnels were the Viet Cong's (Vietnamese guerrilla army) base of operations, where they lived and fought from during the Vietnam War. As a child I used to watch countless of "war" movies with my father and a lot of these were about the Vietnamese war. It was within these movies that I first learnt about this extensive underground tunnel system and couldn't wait to see it for myself. Although I would always cringe while watching people go down these tunnels in the movies it fascinated me and I wanted to see if they were really so narrow and complex as in these war movies.
The Cu Chi tunnels were the location of several military campaigns during the Vietnam War, the most famous being the Tết Offensive in 1968. It was during this fight that the existence of these tunnels came to light. It is quite strange as it is said that an American army base was actually situated right on top of this extensive tunnel system.
These tunnels are located 60km from Ho Chi Minh City in what is now considered a heroic district for the role it played in the anti – American war in Vietnam. The road there from Ho Chi Minh city is riddled with pot-holes but the scenery of the green rice paddies that we passed made up for this very uncomfortable trip to the tunnels.
Cu Chi has an underground tunnel system of over 220km but a lot of it has caved in or is now declared unsafe for visitors.
Before we got to see these tunnels we were shown a movie about how and where these tunnels were constructed. It took them a long time to dig these tunnels and I can believe that there were a couple of cave ins and that a lot of people died during its construction.
The Vietnamese did not only hide in these tunnels but lived there and used them as their bases to attack from. These tunnels served as communication and supply routes and also housed hospitals, food and weapon caches and held the living quarters for numerous guerrilla fighters. I wonder if there were some soldiers who were claustrophobic and how they coped with this arrangement.
An English speaking guide took us through the forest and as we walked I found it hard to imagine the destruction that must have covered this area during and after the war. There aren't a lot of signs of damage or of the extensive defoliation that took place during the war left here. There are however clear indentations and craters caused by bombing and mines that were found all over the place. Thus Cu Chi still has some evidence to prove that it was once a fierce battleground.
Between these craters and bomb shells are the entrances to the tunnels that were used by Viet Cong guerrillas as hiding spots during the combat.
As I walked around the area I come across old military tanks that were left there and countless examples of the traps the Vietcong set in the tunnels and in strategic places in the forest. These traps were very disturbing in their cruelty and gave me the shivers when I thought of what would happen if you stepped into one of these. I am sure that these traps maimed a couple of soldiers and took a lot of lives.
These tunnels themselves were often rigged with explosive booby traps or "Punji stake pits" which would prevent people from searching them or following the soldiers who lived there. They only found this out by actually trying to follow the soldiers down these tunnels….a very scary thought indeed.
The two main responses by the Americans in dealing with a tunnel opening once they found it were to flush the entrance with gas or water to force the guerrillas into the open. Or they would toss a few grenades down the hole and "crimp" off the opening. I am quite claustrophobic so the thought of getting trapped down there made me shiver. I would also vote for getting them out rather than following them down into the unknown. You never knew what would be waiting for you down there.
We got the opportunity to actually crawl down one of these tunnels for a couple of meters along with the guide. But seeing as I am very claustrophobic I gave this a skip but asked my friend to take a couple of pictures down there for me so I at least know what it looks like down there. I am sure they have enlarged this piece of tunnel but it is still such a tight fit….how did they move down it at a speed?
Above – ground there were actually a couple of other attractions which included caged monkeys which we could feed, a couple of vendors selling souvenirs, and even a shooting range where you can fire a number of assault rifles. "When in Rome…." So I didn't let this opportunity slip through my fingers. I actually got to shoot an AK47, something I would never have done otherwise. Cant say that I was very fond of firing this huge gun, it made me feel very uncomfortable and was very awkward to hold.

I´ve always been a been fan of my vegetable man at the market, but that´s a pretty hefty hike. Particularly now that Clara can´t make it all the way there and back on foot, and now that she´s five, I fear that the double stroller is just not strong enough to support her weight anymore. We use it, but every time I fear that it will be the last time.
|All this fresh goodness for 50 pesos. A little less than 5 dollars.
But in the winter one year, I distinctly heard the loudspeaker announcing oranges. Oranges came rolling through the neighborhood a few times a week all winter. (And they do every winter.) Now that summer is upon us, melons are coming through just about every day. If you buy Mexican-grown melons this time of year (or maybe any time of year), chances are good that it comes from my state of Coahuila, as the area around Torreon is rumored to be Mexico´s leading producer of melons. So says the propaganda from the governor, at least!
I fly out the door when I can distinguish more exotic fruits: mangos, strawberries, and last week they came around with plums. Strawberry season seems to have passed us, but we get every bit as excited about plums. So good.
But whenever we´re low on fruit, and the truck is just full of melons. I´ll take my 20 pesos and get 4. They´re so perfect and fresh that this time of year I can even get excited about one of my least favorite fruits.
If I ever have to move back to the US, I´ll sure miss the fruit truck.

Getting Checkstyle, PMD and other plugins to work with Maven
In one of my last projects on customer side I had to do a lot of Maven 3 and Tycho stuff. The customer is currently developing a new asset management software. While previous releases were written in C++ the new version to be published soon is based on JavaEE (JBoss AS) on server side and has an Eclipse RCP Client. So I was asked to move the current PDE/Build to Tycho and to support the development team while establishing the Maven build process.
Last but not least I had to include a wide range of reporting plugins, like PMD, Findbugs, Checkstyle, JDepend and so on. With the help of the article "Adding FindBugs and DRY(CPD) Reporting to Maven3/Tycho" bye David Carver I was able to get the Findbugs plugin working. But neither the PMD plugin nor Checkstyle plugin have produced any results. We didn't get any exception or error code and so we didn't know where to start searching for reasons.
After a certain amount of time the idea to start Maven with debug option came to my head. So I started
mvn -X pmd:check and the debug output looked like the following (stripped to the relevant part):
... [DEBUG] Configuring mojo 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-pmd-plugin:2.5:pmd' with basic configurator --> [DEBUG] (f) aggregate = false [DEBUG] (f) compileSourceRoots = [/Users/martin/Workspaces/xxx/yyy/src/main/java] [DEBUG] (f) format = xml [DEBUG] (f) includeTests = false [DEBUG] (f) linkXRef = true [DEBUG] (f) minimumPriority = 5 [DEBUG] (f) outputDirectory = /Users/martin/Workspaces/xxx/yyy/target/site [DEBUG] (f) project = MavenProject: abc:1.0.4 @ /Users/martin/Workspaces/xxx/yyy/pom.xml [DEBUG] (f) reactorProjects = [MavenProject: abc:1.0.4 @ /Users/martin/Workspaces/xxx/yyy/pom.xml] [DEBUG] (f) skip = false [DEBUG] (f) targetDirectory = /Users/martin/Workspaces/xxx/yyy/target [DEBUG] (f) testSourceRoots = [/Users/martin/Workspaces/xxx/yyy/src/test/java] [DEBUG] (f) xrefLocation = /Users/martin/Workspaces/xxx/yyy/target/site/xref [DEBUG] (f) xrefTestLocation = /Users/martin/Workspaces/xxx/yyy/target/site/xref-test [DEBUG] -- end configuration -- ...
In line #4 you can see the simple reason for not getting any results from PMD. By default Maven uses
src/main/java directory for locating source files. Because the customer has started to develop Eclipse RCP aká Plug-In projects all sources reside in
src/ directory by default.
.. <build> <sourceDirectory>src</sourceDirectory> ..
After adjusting the source code directory in parent
pom.xml all went fine and the PMD plugin and Checkstyle plugin found sources to process.
You may ask: Why the PMD plugin wasn't working properly, while Findbugs was? The answer is simple: Findbugs analyzes Java bytecode, also known as compiled Java classes. It doesn't need any source files to work. PMD and Checkstyle both work with source files.
I hope this little article will help you getting your Maven plugins to work.

For the second straight year, James Williams proved to be a valuable offensive asset for the Burbank High football team. And for the second straight season, the running back has been rewarded for his contributions.
Williams, a junior, earned his second consecutive All-CIF Southern Section Southeast Division offensive accolade when the list was released Monday.
"When I won it last year, I felt I had something to prove to try and live up to being All-CIF," Williams said. "It has been a goal of mine to try and win All-CIF in all of my years with the team. It is just an honor to be named and to get an award like this.
"But all the yards I do get and all the touchdowns I score aren't for me, they're for the team. That comes first."
Williams was joined on the team by two teammates: senior wide receiver Oharjee Brown and senior defensive back Sabastian Santoro.
"It's really nice to get three players named to the All-CIF team," Burbank Coach Hector Valencia said. "To get three in one season is a big accomplishment for our program."
Williams finished the season with a single-season school-record 22 rushing touchdowns in 164 carries. His 1,469 yards rushing (nine yards a carry) were good enough for second on the all-time list, just 35 yards shy of Ulises Ochoa's 1,504-yard record set in 2009. Williams also had 22 catches for 482 yards (21.9 yards a catch) and five touchdowns and had 2,307 all-purpose yards and scored 176 points (third all-time).
In addition to his All-CIF honor, Williams was also named the Pacific League Offensive Player of the Year following his successful campaign.
"With the kind of season he had, we kind of expected that James would make it for sure," said Valencia of Williams, who dealt with his share of limited time due to injuries and blowout victories. "Although we didn't use him as much as we could have, he made the most of his opportunities and the guy just gave it his all on every play."
Brown, a first-team all-league selection, made an instant impact after transferring from Burroughs. Brown caught 55 passes for 976 yards (17.7 yards a catch) and 17 touchdowns.
"He came in and just fit right in our offense," Valencia said. "He made his presence known, especially in the playoffs. We could always count on him to make a big play for us and he always seemed to come through."
Brown said earning the award is something he didn't strive for.
"I did want to be an all-league player, but getting All-CIF is something that I really didn't set out to do," he said. "When James was injured, I just tried to step up my game and take over some of the offensive load."
Santoro, who was also an all-league first-team pick, was a big part of a Burbank defense that allowed an average of just 15.6 points a game. Santoro tallied 80 tackles, an interception and two sacks.
"He really didn't have great stats as far as interceptions go, because teams just wouldn't throw his way," Valencia said. "We put him where we needed him on the defense side and he was always there to make the big play."
The three players were instrumental in leading the Bulldogs to a successful and historic season. Burbank went 10-3 — 5-2 in the Pacific League to tie for second place — and advanced to the division semifinals for the first time since 1927.

I cut the wrong end off the front door. Don't laugh! It's easier to do than you might think.
I was trying to stop the wooden screen door scraping on the front step.
I tried other remedies first. A couple of months ago, I took the door off its hinges and carefully planed the bottom edge. I felt like a true carpenter.
Unfortunately, I proved the truism that a carpenter is only as good as his tools.
Because my handyman outings are so rare, I refuse to buy expensive tools. The cheap plane I bought was so blunt I might as well have licked the bottom of the door for all the wood it took off.
When I hung the door back up, it still scrapped on the front step.
Having used up my allotted hours for handyman duties that month, the front screen door continued to make a high-pitched ear-piercing scraping sound for the next two months.
Why didn't I fix the door during the next month's allotted handyman hours, I hear you ask? I used those to weed the garden and poison the weeds growing through the pavers. A broad definition of handymanning, I admit – one that most would categorise as gardening. But since it uses equipment purchased at a large hardware warehouse, I feel entitled to categorise the activity under 'handymanning'.
So this week, radical surgery was required.
No, not leaving the screen door off for good. That would stop the scraping noise, but risks filling the house with flies, mosquitos and the family of possums that live in our roof but who I suspect would happily move further indoors.
Instead, I proposed to cut a sliver of wood off the bottom with my trusty $8 saw. What could go wrong?!
For starters, I lay the door on the paved patio, so that as the door vibrated with each saw cut, the lacquer was rubbed off its underside.
When I stood the door against the wall to admire my handywork, it looked like that possum family had spent all night scratching it to try to get inside.
That's when I noticed that I had cut a fine sliver off the top of the door, instead of the bottom.
I'm nothing it not dogged. So I lay the door on its other side and cut a sliver off the real bottom, instead of the other bottom, which was really the top.
Of course I again forgot to lay the door on any protective sheet. When I was finished the other side was scraped worse than the first. (I may have sawed a little more roughly the second time around. I am dogged but a little ratty when hot and bothered.)
It now looked like the possum family was trying to escape from inside the house. Perhaps they couldn't stand the high-pitched ear-piercing scraping sound of the front door either?
I again stood the screen door against the wall and admired my handywork.
What was once a beautifully lacquered cedar screen door now stood scratched and leaning sideways on my rough cut, like a refugee from Cyclone Yasi.
I sighed as I trudged towards the garage to fetch the lacquer. I touched it up and hung it back up.
Surprisingly, the screen door no longer scrapes on the front step. It swings silently open. And closed. It's doing everything a screen door should, including keeping out the possum family.
And from a distance you can barely notice the ragged bottom, both of them.

Ask, answer and talk about our products
Hi TPG,
The NBN internet on my TP-Link Archer VR1600 has been dropping out very frequently over the last few days and it is increasingly frustrating to me and my partner. The power and 2.4G and 5G lights stay on however the DSL and Internet lights would go off. This morning (5/1/2019) was particularly bad. TPG provided a replacement modem recently however the drop-out issues are still occurring.
Appreciate your swift response.
Hi @eddiez82,
Thanks for raising this with us.
I've run some remote test and was not able to detect any fault on the NBN network. The connection seemed stable since yesterday, but as I reviewed the account further and seen the dropouts that you've experienced.
Is the issue time specific or is it occurring anytime of the day?
What are the troubleshooting that you've done so far? Have you tried to reset the modem to get it back to its default settings?
Please shoot me a PM with your preferred time and best number to be contacted. I'll arrange a call from our Tech team to look into it further.
Kind regards,
Hi BasilDV,
The issue is not time specific. It seems to have occurred in the evening and also throughout the day.
As for troubleshooting, I have done both hard and soft reboots but that has not had any impact to the dropouts.
With regards to my preferred time to be contacted, do you need me to be in front of the modem during the call?
Yes, @eddiez82. Feel free to PM us your best contact number and most convenient time to receive a call for troubleshooting.
Hi TPG,
This is still a continuing problem even though I have tried using a different modem. The dropouts are still occurring several times a day and is getting highly frustrating.
Please escalate this to your Customer Relations team for resolution.
Hi @eddiez82,
Thanks for getting back to us.
I've raised this with our Engineering team for further investigation as we've run some test and can confirm the massive dropouts that you've been experiencing.
They'll be in touch within 24 to 48 hours for an update. Just leave everything On and connected.
Kind regards,
Hi, was this ever resolved? I have the same problem with Archer VR1600. Drops out randomly.
Welcome to the Community!
Using your community details, I was able to pull up your TPG account. It seems like you have contacted us on February 16 for the same concern which we raised to NBNCo due to a line fault we've detected at that time. Based on the ticket, NBNCo has tagged it resolved on 20/02/2019 15:12 AEDT after performing a repair.
I can see that you have sent as an SMS advising us that you've incurred a dropout on February 21 at 22:38 QLD time. Since this still being monitored by one of our Engineers. I have advised our Engineering Team to contact you before 4PM QLD time today.
Hi, yes the enginner did call me ........ and surprisingly told me that the line going down sometimes is a normal thing.
It's just gone down again a few minutes ago.
Hi @mickmccauley,
We ran an initial test on your service it shows connected for 7h 11m stable and getting passing speed on the line . We'd like to confirm on which device(s) do you experience the dropouts.
If its on a device(s) connected via Wireless/Wi-Fi we did an article that will help you improve your wireless connection available here.
Let us know how it will go. Cheers!

Sunny Beach & Nessebar
Bulgaria has something to offer everyone and the area around Grenada Aparthotel is no different. From shopping to sunbathing; from exciting family waterparks to relaxing pools; from lively bars and nightclubs to quiet candlelit restaurants; from the hustle and bustle of a busy holiday resort to the peace and tranquillity of ancient Nessebar. It is all here for you to explore and discover those aspects that represent your perfect holiday.
Sunny Beach has a fantastic 8km stretch of beautiful sandy coastline. There is a lovely stretch of beach called Cacao Beach within 50m of the hotel. One of the great aspects of this apartment is that is it conveniently located between the resort centre of Sunny Beach and the ancient settlement of Nessebar.
The centre of Sunny Beach resort is approx 2km (north) from Grenada Aparthotel. It is possible to walk to the centre in approx 20 minutes. The tall Kuban Hotel is a useful landmark to watch out for. This is located at the start of the pedestrianised area in the resort centre, to the right of the main Nessebar to St Vlas road. All buses stop on each side of the road opposite this pedestrianised area. A bus to the resort centre takes only 5 minutes and costs 1 Lev (50c/45p) per person (in 2009). To the left of the Kuban Hotel (West) is predominantly a market area, for shopping etc. To the right (East) is the main resort centre with bars, restaurants, banks, shops and, of course, the beachfront.
The ancient town of Nessebar is a World Cultural Heritage site and is 2km (south) from Grenada Aparthotel. It is one of the oldest towns in Europe and is full of impressive buildings and churches of architectural and archaeological significance. There are plenty of lovely little shops, fantastic restaurants and stunning sea views. Old Nessebar is the successor to the ancient Thracian settlement called Messambria founded in the Second century AD. In 510 AD it was turned into Greek colony town by Dorian settlers and became a rival to the town of Apollo for the Black Sea trade. In 72 AD it was occupied by a Roman garrison. It is home to almost 40 preserved churches dating from the 11th to the 14 century.
Finally, you don't have to worry that your apartment is in the middle of nowhere. The area immediately around Grenada Aparthotel is well developed with a wide selection of shops, supermarkets, bars and restaurants.
Sunny Beach is 20km north from Bourgas Airport, just a 20-30 minute journey after your arrival in Bulgaria.
Getting there
Charter flights operate from many European and Russian airports. Scheduled services operate out of London Luton Airport (Wizzair). Airport transfers can be arranged with a Minibus service to take you from the Airport to your apartment in comfort.

Nationally known figurative artist Joseph Lorusso will have his debut show with Bonner David Galleries on Thursday, January 21, from 6-9pm. His paintings depict the natural beauty, intrigue, and romance of urban life. "As with any new work, I am interested in the reaction from the viewer. My work is mostly narrative in nature – the viewer's interpretation is meaningful," Joseph says. "These works have an edginess and ephemeral quality that I've been having fun exploring." With this show, Lorusso is venturing into cityscapes, trying to keep them loose yet atmospheric and powerful.
Although he is not a stranger to Scottsdale, Lorusso is eager to exhibit his latest body of work in a new setting. Collectors will recognize his poignant, familiar style and should be delighted to experience his insights into the simplicity and complexity of everyday relationships. His show will be hanging in our gallery from January 21 to February 9, so make sure you stop in between now and then to take your favorite piece of his home!

Small Business News
Client Profile:
Bullthistle Brewing
With assistance from the SBDC, Brad
Taft, Charlie Anderson and Amy Jeffrey
are living the dream of craft beer lovers
by owning and operating Bullthistile
Brewing Co. in Sherburne, NY. Bullthistle Brewing offers a tasty variety of farm craft beers, local hard cider and wine sole by growlers, pints and the glass. Brand and Charlie have been friends for more than 20 years. After seven years of home brewing, they turned the hobby into a business on May 5, 2017 when the first farm brewery opened in Chenango County. Brad and Charlie proudly serve many of the beers they created during their home brewing years including their very first beer – the 'Imperfectly Perfect Porter' – and crowd favorite 'Bobby B's Pale Ale'. Sourcing hops locally is very important to Bullthistle and that's why the company's logo featuring a hops plant is prominently featured on the growlers, pint glasses, shirts and stickers sold to loyal customers. Brad, a culinary school graduate, is head chief at the Bullthistle. He developed a full lunch and dinner menu that complements Bullthistle's range of beers, cider and wine. Brad, Charlie and Amy met with SBDC Certified Adviser Michelle Catan for assistance with a business plan, projections and referrals for bank financing. Their dream came true when they obtained a bank loan to remodel the building, purchase at the brewery equipment and establish the company. To date, they have exceeded sales projections and are thrilled to perpetuate their growth fueled by a local customer base and new craft beer lovers.
Client Profile: North Country Aviation Services
Aviation is in William Ketcham's blood. A retired US Navy Gulf War veteran, for over 20 years Ketcham served as an aircraft mechanic and flight engineer at Naval air stations around the world. After leaving the service, he returned home to the Southern Tier and became an aircraft mechanic at FirstAIR, the sole-provider aircraft repair facility at the Greater Binghamton Airport. Over several years, Ketcham's unique expertise and reputation for quality, federally certified repair on both commercial and private aircraft made FirstAIR one of the most respected companies in the field. Ketcham was also responsible for the repair and certification of ground support equipment at the airport. When the owner of the business decided to explore opportunities elsewhere, Ketcham saw an opportunity. Working with the Binghamton SBDC's Doug Boyce (himself a former Navy aviator), Ketcham developed a business plan and set of financial forecasts for his own company, North Country Aviation Services, that allowed him to arrive at a fair purchase price with the owner as well as to convince commercial lenders to help finance the purchase. The $135,000 package consisted of a conventional bank loan, an SBA-guaranteed loan, a revolving line of credit, and the client's equity investment. Says Ketcham, "Doug Boyce and the SBDC worked with me to develop a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I couldn't have done it without them."
Client Profile: Heatall, Inc
Gust Freeman was referred by the bank to the Binghamton University SBDC to discuss the purchase of Heatall, Inc. a retail seller of outdoor wood furnaces. With the growing trend of homeowners searching for lower cost fuel alternatives, the business had expanded to become one of the largest wood furnace companies in upstate New York. Gust developed an interest in the business when he actually purchased his own wood furnace four years earlier and installed it himself. The timing appeared right for Gust and his wife, Yvonne, to purchase the business. When Gust found out that the previous owner was looking to retire, Gust decided the time was right to take a chance on owning the business. The Freeman's belief in the business and the product made this the perfect opportunity.
Working with Business Advisor Steve Amell and after visiting five different financial institutions, they were able to structure a proposal that made sense to the Freemans, the bank and the seller by restructuring the purchase in order to make the deal "bankable." The opportunity came together in August with the purchase and plans are underway to resolve zoning issues associated with a relocation of the business to a site where they hope to be able to build a new showroom, office space and warehouse facility. They hope to begin construction in the spring and be in our new site by June. "None of this could have happened without Steve Amell and the SBDC." Freeman said.
Client Profile: Federal Safety Equipment, Inc.
Les & Jan Swartz founded Federal Safety Equipment (FSE) in 1979. A disabled veteran, Les established the company in his residential garage to meet the needs of fire departments and ambulance services in the Southern NY region. Federal Safety Equipment became a corporation in 1980 and in 1981 purchased property located at 23 Kinney Street in the Village of Candor, NY. A steel building was constructed which allowed the company to have offices, a showroom, and several garage bays for the repair and installation of equipment on emergency vehicles. FSE now is expanding the bay areas to enable the assembly of "Hard Attack" fire vehicles.
In the summer of 2007, FSE added the manufacture of small "Hard Attack" fire fighting apparatus to its product lines. The vehicles are based on the chassis selected at the customer's preference then necessary components for the various options are assembled from local and regional sources. These "Hard Attack" vehicles are essentially custom built for a variety of purposes. The vehicles are then assembled in the Candor facility and delivered to the customer as a turn key unit ready to be put into service. The uses range from brush fire fighting applications to emergency aviation crash vehicles.
As FSE President, Mr. Swartz has shown intuitive management abilities through foresight, dedication, consistency and daring in the growth of his business from a simple start-up in a garage to a 38,000 square foot facility generating revenues in excess of $1.5 million and employing six (6), with plans to hire two (2) more, in a small town sorely in need of employment opportunities. The company is a major employer in its small town location.
Client Profile: 3i Graphics and Signs
3i Graphics and Signs manufactures, installs, and services vehicle graphics and wraps, banners, yard signs, interior and exterior signs, point of sale displays and a number of other signs and graphic products. It also provides ink jet lamination, color copy and other related services. When the founding owner chose to retire in 2008, Eric Olsen, a sales executive, approached the SBDC for assistance with funding to purchase the company. The business was stable but funding the acquisition was challenging because banks were tightening lending requirements and the recession was impacting potential partners and investors.
Eric consulted the Binghamton SBDC for help in fine tuning his business plan in preparation for approaching lenders. Eric decided that he wanted a partner to help run the business. Nick Taro's wife, who worked for one of the company's customers, found out and discussed the opportunity with her husband. Nick has more than 30 years of manufacturing and management experience in the printed-circuit-board industry, which complements Eric's many years of sales and marketing expertise.
Eric and Nick agreed to become partners and together worked with the SBDC, several commercial lenders, and a local revolving loan fund to assemble the funding needed to complete the ownership transfer. Under the direction of the new partners, 3i Graphics and Signs continues to stress quality products and service. They are gaining new customers in new advertising market segments and new geographic areas. After weathering the effects of the '09 recession, sales are rebounding and the owners plan to add several employees in the future.

15Then went the Pharisees unto Libertarian Jesus, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.
16And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, O Great Libertarian Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.
17Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
18And Libertarian Jesus spatteth the dummy, and did say, Taxation is a tyranny upon the common man.
19I say unto thee that Caesar must go forth even unto Fuck, for I shall not render a single shekel unto that Onanist.
20And the Pharisees rejoiced, for they knew that Pilate would give Libertarian Jesus a bloody good crucifying, and sent forth for the legions.
21But Lo, Libertarian Jesus hadst not finished by a long shot, and did bend the ears of the Pharisees, saying, Big governorship is inherently self-interested and should be overthrown by a mass movement of individuals.
22Truly, I knowest how to spend my hard earned coin, and no quill-pushing scribe should spend it on aquaducts and such foolishness.
23And the Pharisees became annoyed, and did say, Surely the LORD smileth upon aquaducts, for they hath improved sanitation.
24And, This stuff about smashing the state doth sound good in theory, but surely it is but passing water in the wind, for it shall never work in reality. Nobody shalt go for such nonsense.
25Truly, Libertarian Jesus, thou art wasting thy time and ours.
26But Libertarian Jesus was great in wrath, and did goeth on at great length about negative liberty and natural law.
27And on.
28And on and on.
29And there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth, and the Pharisees begged Libertarian Jesus to holdeth his peace, but to no avail.
30And lo, presently the Legion came upon Libertarian Jesus, and gave him a bloody good crucifying.
31And there was much rejoicing and loud were the hosannas.
32And Libertarian Jesus looked down upon the Pharisees and said, Forgive them LORD, for they know not the principles of Minarchism.

Unfortunately, Butch Walker is better known as a music producer of artists more than he is for his own solo work, which is really a shame. Over the span of his six solo efforts since 2002, he has worn many different musical hats all to modest degrees of success. But what I feel really helps this newest effort stand out is the fact that the material contained on the record features some of his most fleshed out songs and ideas that he has put on record so far. This is not a slight against his past work by any means; there simply seems to be many brighter moments on The Spade that result in a more satisfying and gratifying listen from start to finish. Stand out tracks include the tongue-in-cheek Summer of 89, Every Single Body Else, the roosty Dublin Crow and the hard-rockin' Bullet Belt.

I got dragged to an Avril Lavigne concert 5-6 years ago in Moncton, and he was the opening act and the only part of the show I enjoyed! He has a great stage presence and sounds great live, so I'm glad to hear he has new songs. He made Avril look like a jumped up amateur!
