Are you happy that the Daily Express is saying that we should consider public figures such as Prince Charles, Ed Miliband, Boris Johnson and Winston Churchill as migrants "hidden" from the British public by official statistics? And is it correct that the Express is suggesting that the children of Nick Clegg and, for that matter, Nigel Farage are "hidden migrants"?
Britain's politics is in a sorry state. I'm not talking about political issues, no. It's the mediocre level of the political conversation, amongst both politicians and journalists, which saps the spirit. This matters, for if you don't have a standard of discourse that facilitates honesty, nuance and fair-mindedness, then all areas of politics suffer.
The youth in Britain have been ignored for far too long, how we can be expected to engage in politics when all parties consistently neglect the wants, needs and opinions of the almost 10 million 18-30s of our country is beyond me.
Whatever happened to Help to Buy? Ministers seldom mention the government's two-part mortgage guarantee and equity loan scheme these days, yet it was initially heralded by the chancellor and the prime minister as a major Coalition policy... The reason is that the scheme has fallen rather flat.
Whether one sees immigration as universally wonderful, sensible in moderation and quality or as something harmful the facts are undeniable: a European country can rely on foreign workers to man its health service as much or as little as it wishes to.
As Brian Paddick put it on Twitter; if you hate what Ukip and now Labour and the Conservatives stand for, then it's time to reconsider voting Liberal Democrat.
Emily Thornberry is not the enemy of Britain's working class, the Sun newspaper, UKIP, and the dog whistle, reactionary politics promoted by both is. Only when the Labour Party, Dan Ware, and everyone else wakes up to this fact will we begin to move forward as a society.
The Conservative Party is leaking support across the board, and constituency opinion polls show them on course to perform worse in the marginal seats that they hold than elsewhere in the country. Why, many people are asking, isn't Cameron's leadership under serious threat?
Somewhere along the line, the party appears to have lost its ability to tap into the fears and aspirations of a part of the electorate, what we may have traditionally thought of as the working class vote... Whether it is policies, communications or candidate selection, Thornberry's tweet has only highlighted a problem that has been growing for a while.
Ukip is a threat to the two established parties. It might not win many seats in the 2015 general election but on its current national polling it could have significant impact on the final result. And as a consequence, both the Conservatives and Labour need to find answers to re-engage their disaffected traditional voters if they are to stem the Ukip tide.
Emily Thornberry was wrong in her assumption, but she wasn't alone and it wasn't without foundation. Patriotism has been hijacked. Right wing movements like the English Defence League and Britain First use patriotism and the flag of St. George as a guise for their racism, and it's time to claim it back.
Tweeting a picture of a terraced house, van in driveway, flags flying, is classist. Flags and vans are not an inherent part of working class culture, or unquestioned and undisputed by the working class. St George's crosses do not naturally bloom from the walls of terraced houses. Thornberry had the same reaction to that house as this council house kid would have.
Whoever or wherever you are in Britain today the sad fact is millions of people mainly the under 30's are not exercising their right to vote, under 56% of under 24's are registered compared to 96% of over 65's...
You shouldn't be able to get rich because you bought a house for a pittance in 1974 that's now, all of a sudden, worth a fortune. Property in the UK today is a lottery that doesn't sell any tickets to the poorest. That's unfair, and, mansion tax or no mansion tax, it ought to change.
It is a national scandal that over half of the families living in poverty in the UK are now working households, and if the Government wanted to tackle the problem of in-work poverty they would legislate to put an end to such exploitative employment practices.
At long last the media is covering the Green Party. While calling it a surge may be a little premature, today's poll showing them on 8% (once again ...

The heights we list are after we prune your tree.
Many Nurseries advertise heights before they prune, then cut off several feet before shipping. While this reduces their shipping cost, it gives their customer a shorter tree than they bargained for. The tree will likely need an extra year to grow back the growth that was trimmed.
We prune your tree throughout its life. This process takes us longer, but gives you more branches and quicker production.
Plus, we don't include the pot or root length in our measurements. This gives you an extra 1-2 ft. in tree size.
Our larger trees are usually one to two years older than our smaller ones and will typically give you better, thicker shade the first full growing season.
Get your new plants off to the right start by using DIEHARD™ Transplant.
This soil amendment contains 16 strains of mycorrhizal fungi, biostimulants, beneficial bacteria and Horta-Sorb® water management gel.
Simply sprinkle the product into the planting hole adjacent to the root ball when planting.
The organisms will start to work right away supplying the roots with much need nutrition.
The specially formulated Horta-Sorb® will reduce transplant stress and aid in water retention.
1 oz. Per Gallon Size Container
1 oz. Per Ft. High
Bare Root Plant
• Spectacular autumn foliage
• Highly adaptable to various types of soil
• Relatively drought resistant
The Autumn Purple Ash turns from a glossy green into red and finally to a brilliant purple in the fall.
The Purple Ash holds its fall color longer than almost any other tree – enjoy the show the entire season!
Large leaves block sunlight, cutting your cooling bills. A regal looking ornamental tree that makes a great focal point for your lawn.
Perfect for lining streets, especially in areas that receive a lot of snow. Salt debris will not harm this beauty.
Autumn Purple Ash trees thrive best in moist areas, but are tolerant of many climates. These deciduous trees usually grow up to 3-5 ft. a year and into a pyramidal shape when young, then flourish into a pleasing oval shape at maturity.
Thrives in northern climates as well as warmer ones, preferring Growing Zones 3-9.
When you order from Fast Growing Trees, you get a higher quality, more attractive tree. Each Autumn Purple Ash tree goes through an extensive grafting process that guarantees incredible fall color. Few other nurseries do this, because it takes an extra year and more labor.
Order while supplies last. Our Purple Ash is a customer favorite and sells out every year!
Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Autumn Purple Ash.
First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width.
Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through.
Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.
Next, separate the roots of your Autumn Purple Ash gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole.
The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil.
Then make sure the plant is exactly vertical in the hole.
To make it just right, use a level.
As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets.
Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps.
Water your Autumn Purple Ash again after the transplant is complete.
To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each plant to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips also help to better soil structure as they decompose.
Due to cold weather in some parts of the country, we have suspended shipping to the areas that are shaded on the map below. Please view the diagram to determine if your area has been affected. This includes anyone in Growing Zones 2, 3 or 4. If you are unsure of your growing zone, visit our Growing Zone Finder.
We will resume normal shipping in the Spring. Please see the table below for your approximate ship date.
If you live in a shaded area but wish to receive your product(s) now, please visit our contact us page here or call a customer service rep toll free at 888-504-2001.

I�ve been blocked on Facebook� again.
When I say,
, I don�t mean to make it sound like it�s something that happens all the time. As far as I know it�s only been two times. But even two times is a lot when you�re used to getting along with everyone and, to your knowledge, have never been accused of something awful like being a stalker, an identity thief, or a mime.
The first time I was blocked I took it in stride because it was someone I already had a strained relationship with.
4 years later, I'm
over it.
But the latest person who blocked me was someone I�d just met. She was someone I spoke with at length at a conference, discussed a job opportunity, and mutually agreed to connect with after the conference. Following the conference, I friended her on Facebook. Then, about two weeks later I realized I�d never gotten a friend acceptance and checked back only to discover she was no longer on Facebook. But
the way Facebook works
is, when someone blocks you, they appear to no longer be on Facebook. So when someone disappears from Facebook, you can�t be sure if it�s because they closed their account or they blocked you. The only way to know for sure is to look for them from someone else�s account.
Having been on the receiving end of a FB blocking before, I was wise to the ways of being blocked, so I looked for her from someone else�s account, and, voila: there was the person I had tried to friend.
And then I knew I�d been
tossed aside like a sack of potatoes
Once you are a two-time blockee, you don�t get nearly as upset as you might have the first time. You�re kind of like,
�What the heck?�
�OMG, she BLOCKED me?�
and, �
Wow. What did I say?�
followed by,
�What a b****!!�
Then you replay the whole conversation you had with her through your head to see if there was any point where you came across as someone with obsessive tendencies, multiple personalities, an arrest record, a restraining order, ties to the Kardashians, persistent chronic halitosis, or the possibility that you slept with her husband.
Except for the arrest record (which was only a misdemeanor and I swear, I was out of the country when it happened) none of the other things were even remotely possible. So I was really at a loss as to why she�d blocked me. I realized that being blocked by a friend (or potential friend) on Facebook is kind of like having a boyfriend suddenly stop returning your calls. You know it�s over but you�re not sure why and you�re just left wondering what you did to be so coldly dumped. Personally, I�d prefer to get an automated notification from Facebook that says:
So-and-So blocked you because you:
Post too many cloyingly cute pictures of your kids
Ditto your dog
Brag too much about the miles you ran/laps you swam/triathalon you
competed in
Ditto your vacatio
Repeatedly invite them to play annoying Facebook games
Repeatedly ask them to vote for you for some inane contest
Creepily comment on every status update they make
Since I was still friends with her husband on Facebook (who, I repeat, I have not slept with), I thought about messaging him and asking him why on earth his wife had blocked me. But then I figured it would be awkward for him to be in the middle of a UFB (Unwarranted Facebook Blocking) and might cause UMS (Undue Marital Stress) as well as the possibility that he also would commit a UFB on me and then I would be three time Facebook blockee, which would certainly be a blight on my otherwise pristine social media reputation. Being blocked twice could be considered an aberration. Three times and people start to think you�re a stalker.
In an attempt to be a grown up and not obsess about it, and not pursue it, and realize it was probably her problem, not mine, I decided to let it go and move on with my life.
… Right after I block her back.

So Nick Swisher is great at making the easy plays, but rarely makes a web gem.2. DKDC Posted: March 18, 2014 at 12:00 PM (#4673336)
Has anyone spent much time with this data? I don't have any context for how reliable/useful it is.3. ellsbury my heart at wounded knee Posted: March 18, 2014 at 12:46 PM (#4673369)
I have had a theory that Nick Markakis is unfairly treated by UZR because of the big wall and high scoreboard in RF at Camden Yards. He routinely rates in the -5 to -10 range for UZR. His rankings among 28 RFs with at least 1000 innings over the last two years:
90 – 100%: 8th of 28
60 – 90%: 15th of 28
40 – 60%: 1st of 28
10 – 40%: 15th of 28
1 – 10%: tied for 7th with 21 others
Of course, Markakis is the kind of player that is sure-handed and does other things well (he has a strong arm), so maybe he is precisely the type of player who will have their range overrated by a scouting-based system.
I think one of the issues (for me) with this data is how incredibly skewed it is, and how it breaks down an already small sample size into even smaller bins. The way this graph is presented, one might get the impression that the data is uniform across the categories, but a huge percentage of plays made are in the 90-100% category.4. Swoboda is freedom Posted: March 18, 2014 at 12:46 PM (#4673368)
Ichiro made
239 out of 240 plays in the 90-100% category,
9/10 in 60-80
7/11 in 40-60
4/8 in 10-40
4/12 in the 1-10
234/234 in 90-100
9/11 in 60-80
1/1 in 40-60
0/4 in 10-40
0/2 in 1-10
These seem like pretty small samples, and I don't have a good understanding of what separates a 60-80 play from 90-100 play, or the amount of subjectivity involved in doing so. Still, cool to see the fine detail.
EDIT: Wait, what am I doing wrong? These numbers look nothing like the graph.
EDIT2: Oh, the graph is 2012/2013 numbers. Never mind.
So Nick Swisher is great at making the easy plays, but rarely makes a web gem.5. Yeaarrgghhhh Posted: March 18, 2014 at 12:47 PM (#4673370)
In other words, he starts off well, but then doesn't go too far.
Interesting stuff re Markakis. I've wondered the same thing about UZR -- he's definitely lost some range in the last few years, but it's a little hard to believe that he's well below average.6. Knock on any Iorg Posted: March 18, 2014 at 01:22 PM (#4673402)
"Degree of difficulty" axis seems backwards. I would expect a play with 100% difficulty to be nearly impossible to make. Once I got over that hump I wondered what time endpoints were imposed on this data set. One season? 4 seasons? I don't feel like reading TFA to find out.7. Greg K Posted: March 18, 2014 at 03:52 PM (#4673528)
I wonder if this type of analysis can be useful for nailing down a type of fielder if not the quality. Swisher's line certainly looks like the one oddly shaped one, I wonder if it's representative of a guy who catches everything he gets to but doesn't have great range or speed (which seems to jive with what I know of Swisher).8. Cowboy Popup Posted: March 18, 2014 at 05:50 PM (#4673597)
So to ask a stupid question, if a player gets to, say 14% of remote plays (1-10%), does that mean he is above average (ignoring sample size issues) at making remote plays?9. Walt Davis Posted: March 19, 2014 at 12:59 AM (#4673722)
Does anyone know how they chose the gaps (1-10, 10-40, 40-60, etc.)?
Alex Gordon has a pretty unusual looking distribution (in 2788 innings, the 6th largest sample available). 25% of remote plays (10th in the Majors over the last two years), 71.4% of unlikely plays (3rd), 68.8& of about even plays (25th), and then only 78.6% of likely plays (79th!). I have no idea what that says about him, maybe great tools but has trouble making reads? But he's not a fast guy. So maybe he just goes balls to the wall on everything and misreads a lot of plays. Any thoughts from Royals fans?

Any thoughts from Royals fans?
Simplest explanation would seem to be positioning. A guy shaded heavily towards LCF (relative to the typical LF) should make more remote plays to LCF, fewer routine plays to straight LF and then stuff down the line he doesn't have a prayer on. (Or vice versa of course). The question then would be if he really gained anything -- maybe he makes more plays overall but maybe the ones he misses down the line are more damaging. Or he makes fewer plays overall but the remote plays he gets to would have been more damaging.
The Swisher line I would guess is good break, lousy speed. Maybe also good routes.
The vast majority of OFs make the play on virtually anything they get to, so it should mostly be a function of what you get to. That would seem to be determined by 4 factors -- positioning, reaction, routes/read, speed. So, for Gordon, if his reactions and routes were great, he wouldn't miss so many "likely" balls. But bad reactions, routes and OK speed doesn't get you to remote balls either. But an OF with average reaction, route and speed skills that is positioned much differently than the typical OF will have a much different distribution. The fancy new software should allow us to measure most of this stuff, most importantly (from a saber perspective)* starting position.
*I'm guessing. I mean in the end we care about what the guy gets to and not so much if his routes could use some work. The latter would of course be valuable to scouts/coaches. But just knowing position (and ball path which the new system also measures), we should be able to classify "likely" "remote" etc. relative to starting point. Then we can worry about the value of a play not made although that too must differ by starting position -- i.e. if Gordon has farther to run to the line, a triple becomes more likely.

We were pleasantly surprised by the upgraded look and feel of this Residence Inn. Very clean, friendly service, great breakfast included and spacious rooms. Something about a bright cheery colorful lobby and extra clean suite just sets the tone. The easy to get to north or south Fort Myers attractions. The restaurant in the shopping plaza next door Gator bites is awesome! We were quite pleased for the price and the space and drinks, snacks you could purchase on site. Highly recommend.

Hello All!
I'm currently researching on how to go about selling your own typefaces.
I was wondering how a lot of the foundries out there allow for preview/sample text of their fonts. I was wondering if there's anything on the market that allows you to implement this on a website?
Thank you riccard0!

Marin Software Adds Support For Google Shopping Campaigns
Marin Software has added support for Google Shopping Campaigns, which will become the only way to manage Product Listing Ads (PLAs) in AdWords beginning in late August.
The dynamic campaigns tool in the Marin platform automates Shopping Campaign creation and optimization. Advertisers can automate bid strategies, based a number of targets such as product-specific revenue or customer lifetime value, for example.
"Support of Google Shopping Campaigns combined with our cross-channel targeting capabilities allows retailers to take their product-based advertising to new heights," said Matt Ackley, chief marketing officer at Marin Software. "Through our platform, retailers can use their Google Shopping Campaigns data to build out audience segments and retarget consumers across the web, including Facebook."
Retailers can build audiences for social and display ad campaigns based on purchase intent data gathered from Google Shopping Campaigns and pull in data from other sources to accurately track revenue from PLAs.
Retailer adoption of PLA formats shows no sign of slowing. Marin predicts retailers will allocate a third of their paid search budgets to Google Shopping Campaigns by the end of 2014.

"Health care has been a sleepy niche of M&A until recently, but the giant has been awakened," says Ken Menges, a senior partner handling M&A at law firm Akin Gump in New York. To a large extent, the deals are being driven by "cost pressure on the entire health care system," as insurers and government health plans increasingly hold down or even reduce reimbursements to drug,...» Read More
An independent advisory panel told the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that GlaxoSmithKline's widely used diabetes pill Avandia increased heart risk but the drug should remain on the market.
It is standing room only here at the advisory panel meeting on GlaxoSmithKline's Avandia. I count about 300 people in the main ballroom and about 50 more watching on closed circuit in an overflow breakout room. The place is crawling with PR people, especially from Glaxo which like most drug companies at the center of a storm like this one has set up a war room here.
Earnings reports and corporate announcements were some of the catalysts behind the most actively traded stocks on Monday.
As a big FDA Advisory Committee meeting is taking place here in Gaithersburg, Maryland on the safety of GlaxoSmithKline's Avandia, the head of the agency has been named in a separate lawsuit. A non-profit group calling itself "CareToLive" is suing FDA Commissioner Dr. Andrew von Eschenbach over the recent delay in the potential approval of Dendreon's Provenge.
M&A news and stock buybacks were some of the catalysts behind the most actively traded stocks on Friday.
Sepracor posted lower-than-expected results Friday and cut its 2007 outlook amid competition for its insomnia drug and reduced reimbursement for its asthma drug, sending its shares down 20 percent.
GlaxoSmithKline took a further step to boost its new drug pipeline on Friday by clinching a drug development deal potentially worth more than $1.5 billion with U.S. biotech firm Targacept.
AstraZeneca plans to axe around 7,600 jobs as part of an expanded cost-cutting drive, it said on Thursday as it nudged up its 2007 earnings outlook.
Bristol-Myers Squibb Thursday said quarterly earnings rose 6 percent on resumed growth for its Plavix blood-clot preventer, and higher sales of newer drugs that offset waning demand for older products.
I think I just killed a tree. This morning I printed out the GlaxoSmithKline and FDA documents that were posted on the agency's Web site ahead of the advisory committee meeting on Avandia safety next Monday. About 700 pages! Nearly as many pages as the new "Harry Potter" book, but not nearly as entertaining.
A new study of health insurance records of more than 400,000 U.S. diabetics found no higher risk of heart attacks with GlaxoSmithKline Plc's pill Avandia when compared with other oral diabetes drugs, the drugmaker said in documents made public Thursday.
Belgian drug maker UCB Group said Thursday first-half net profit fell 39% as it absorbed the cost of taking over Germany's Schwarz Pharm.
Want to know the best banks to buy? Cramer has the answer.Investing can be confusing. Luckily, Cramer has mapped out some road rules for all you Home Gamers trying to navigate the jungle that is Wall Street. Think of it as "Mad Money 101" –- some fundamental advice to keep in mind as you play the market. Whether you're a first time investor or a seasoned financier, it's always good to remember the basics.
Quarterly earnings reports and new drug trial data were some of the catalysts behind the most actively traded stocks on Wednesday.
GlaxoSmithKline is rallying today after reporting that second quarter sales of its diabetes drug Avandia, fell 31% in the U.S. from the same time a year ago. And from the first quarter of this year to the second quarter, revenue in the U.S. from the blockbuster pill slid $120 million. So, why are investors buying the beaten-down stock?
GlaxoSmithKline more than doubled its share buyback programme to 12 billion pounds ($25billion) on Wednesday, boosting its shares even as sliding sales of diabetes drug Avandia held back second-quarter profit.
Merck said second-quarter net profit slumped to 85.5 million euros ($117.9 million) from 528.5 million euros in the year-earlier period after a gain from the sale of assets last year was not repeated and as the company wrote down the value of some inventory after buying Serono.
With little or no fanfare Pfizer launched a new ad campaign for its erectile dysfunction drug Viagra on NBC Nightly News last night. Pfizer has gotten into a bit of trouble before for its relatively racy Viagra spots like the "Horny Devil" campaign featuring the guy with two horns growing out of his head. This time it's got a bunch of 40-something guys sitting around a dusty barn singing "Viva Viagra" to the tune of Elvis' "Viva Las Vegas".
Quarterly earnings reports and corporate alliances were some of the catalysts behind the most actively traded stocks on Tuesday.
The FDA is seeking a one-year study of how the drug Pristiq affects the heart and liver, said Wyeth's chief medical officer, Dr. Gary Stiles.

- roof leak? spot in attic
roof leak? spot in attic
After reading mmany posts on this message board. I thought someone might be able to help me. I have a 3 1/2 yr old house with a very steep roof that I cannot get on. I was in the attic last night getting down X-mas decorations and noticed a water spot on the fron side of the roof. The water spot fanned down and got larger as it approached the floor. There were also drips. I had noticed when I got down some of the boxes that they had dried up drip marks on them. It would seem to me that this would not be a ventilation problem since it is confined to one area???? Can anyone help? Is it a leak in the roof? We had just had a big wet snow a couple days before.
Jeffeddy - hi, since we're "neighbors" I'm wondering if your roof needed any repairs after Hurricane Isabel blew through? From what you can see by standing outside, are there any roof tiles missing or damaged in the area near/around where you think the leak may be? Did you venture up into the attic area after the storm and did you see any of these water marks at that time?
Hopefully, you'll be able to see where the water's coming from and that'll help you get it fixed. Happy Holidays to you and yours, and to all the folks on the website! Jim D/Heathsville, VA
It does sound like a small roof leak...as we're about to see some more rain/snow within the next week or so, you may want to go back up in there when it is raining and take a look. (If you get snow, you'd want to check when you see the sun melting it off. Plan to spend a few minutes up there, watching patiently.) It might help you locate any hole in the roof, or it may help you see how the water seems to be coming in.
Hopefully, you'll be able to see where the water's coming from and that'll help you get it fixed. Happy Holidays to you and yours, and to all the folks on the website! Jim D/Heathsville, VA

HELP!!! Updating a trip report what am I doing wrong!!!
I have been inspired by all the creativity on these threads and wanted to write my own trip report so I could relive the magic and share it with others. I have been under the impression that in order to update your trip report and add it it to you chapter page so people could clinck on a chapter to look at it without having to read the whole thread you do the following: After adding the update you click on the # icon, Highlight the update, Copy the update, submit the thread, go into the chapter page, write what I want my chapter title to be, click the globe with a chain icon, and paste the update. When I do this it underlines the Chapter title but when I try to go into the link it says it does not exisit and to try typing in the address again. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG!!! I attepted to ask the Tec thread but getting an answer from there seems to be non exisitant. I had problems at first when I wanted to post pictures and I have over come that and I am sure I can get the hang of this as well but I need you guys! Please help! I have such a great story to tell LOL!!!!!

Governor's Message
Winter 2013-2014
Board Proposes Bylaw Changes
The Society of Mayflower Descendents in the State of Illinois is working on getting a commemorative coin made for the 400th anniversary of the pilgrims landing in Plymouth. To get a commemorative coin issued, a bill has to be passed in the House of Representatives and in the Senate. We need your help in getting these bills passed. Please ask your Representative and Senators to co-sponsor a bill that Congressman Foster will be introducing next Congress to commission a commemorative coin in celebration of the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the pilgrims. Your Representatives and Senators can contact Gary Timmins in Congressman Foster's office regarding any additional information. You can look up who your Representative is by going to www.house.gov and entering your zip-code. If you have any questions, please contact me. I thank you in advanced for contacting your Representative to co-sponsor this bill.
At its regularly scheduled meeting on August 6th the Board of Assistants approved certain amendments to the Bylaws of the Society of Mayflower Descendants in the State of Illinois. In accordance with Article X, Section 2 of our Bylaws these amendments must be submitted to our membership for approval at an annual or spring meeting of the Society. The amendments approved by the Board of Assistants will be submitted for approval at our upcoming annual meeting on November 22nd in Springfield. The same Article allows for posting of any changes on our website.
A red-lined version of the proposed amendments to the Bylaws is here. Please review all of the changes.
You will note that many of the changes are relatively minor, "housekeeping-type" changes. The more significant changes include the following: 1) deletion of position of Junior Associate Secretary (as these duties have been taken over by the Membership Secretary); 2) clarification of the duties of Treasurer (to enhance financial transparency and responsibility); 3) providing Board of Assistants with authority to set dues and fees (to provide more flexibility in adjusting fees); 4) adding the first year's annual dues to the initial application fee (to stabilize budgeting and required payments to the General Society); and 5) removing the dues schedule from the Bylaws (necessary for internal consistency of the Bylaws).
I want to assure you all that even though these changes permit the Board to set fees and dues we do not foresee the need of making any changes in dues for current members.
If you have any questions concerning these changes do not hesitate to contact me.

New Report Listing the Top 10 Emerging Markets
WWD released a report ranking the countries most viable for retail expansion. A.T. Kearney, from the Global Retail Development Index, conducted the report using 25 variables.
The U.S. economy has been growing at a very slow pace and Europe has it's own debt problems. China and India have been growing at a rapid pace and other markets are modernizing, trying to secure a spot in the retail world.
Here's a look at this year's top 10 new markets provided by WWD. The list includes some selective perspective from the consultancy, the CIA World Factbook, The World Bank and WWD.
1 Brazil
Retail sales per capita: $5,514
Economic note: Brazil has the world's seventh-largest economy, which is driven by its agricultural, mining, manufacturing and service sectors.
Retail note: São Paulo's JK Iguatemi mall drew 70,000 people on its first weekend in June and has 189 stores, including 30 international brands new to the country, such as Van Cleef & Arpels, Lanvin, Miu Miu and Topshop. And RioMar, a mixed-use shopping, office and entertainment complex in the Northeast region, opened last month with more than a million square feet dedicated to retail and food.
Obstacles: Low inflation and consistent growth has helped put poverty on the decline in Brazil, but inequality continues to be a fact of life in the middle-income country, with some lacking access to infant and secondary education. Tariffs on goods coming into the country are subject to significant, seemingly irrational swings, ranging from zero to 35 percent, making for an uncertain environment for exporters.
2 Chile
Retail sales per capita: $4,388
Economic note: Chile has 59 trade deals with other countries, including a free-trade agreement with the U.S., which took effect in 2004. The copper business funds one-third of the government.
Retail note: Gap's first step in South America was Chile. Wal-Mart, Longines and Façonnable also have outposts.
Obstacles: Chile struggles with poverty and inequality. The unemployment rate stands at a relatively low 6.5 percent, but observers say the country's poor need substantial help finding decent jobs to break out of poverty.
3 China
Retail sales per capita: $1,464
Economic note: Growth has slowed in the world's second-largest economy, which still has to employ tens of millions of migrants and cope with environmental damage. Production for fashion and other industries is moving from the coastal areas inland.
Retail note: Consumers have become more price-sensitive and not as dedicated to particular brands as shoppers elsewhere. China is one of the world's hottest markets for luxury goods, with $12 billion in sales.
Obstacles: Population controls have made China one of the most rapidly aging countries in the world. And the country's small and insular group of political elite are walking a tightrope as increased contact with the world broadens the outlook of the Chinese people. The popular bashing of public officials in designer duds, as well as government restrictions on the advertising of luxury goods, show the country's mixed emotions toward the new wealthy class.
4 Uruguay
Retail sales per capita: $6,189
Economic note: The country has a strong agricultural sector, an educated workforce, a high rate of urbanization and a high level of social spending.
Retail note: The retail industry is still diffused with domestic players such as Disco, Ta-Ta,
Mimatec and Uruforus in growth mode.
Obstacles: Uruguay continues to have relatively high debt levels and is particularly reliant on Brazil as an export market.
5 India
Retail sales per capita: $711
Economic note: Just more than 50 percent of India's workers are involved in agriculture, but more than half of the country's economic output comes from the service sector.
Retail note: The Indian retail market is expected to grow up to 20 percent over the next five years, fueled by increasing GDP, incomes and urbanization. Retail rents on Bangalore's prime Brigade Road rose 18.1 percent this year to $88.46 a square foot. The country is starting to open up to outside retailers, but foreign ownership in the sector continues to be a hot-button political issue. Tommy Hilfiger has developed a major presence in the country with a partner. And LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton has linked up with Genesis Luxury Fashion in the market.
Obstacles: India's roads, railways and other underdeveloped infrastructure are starting to creak under the country's dramatic growth. Worries of a housing bubble also loom over the economy.
6 Georgia
Retail sales per capita: $1,816
Economic note: Georgia produces everything from grapes and hazelnuts to manganese and gold, but it imports almost all of its natural gas and oil.
Retail note: Georgia's young urbanites are a boon to modern food and apparel retailing. Mango, Sisley, Benetton and Mexx have already set up shop in the country.
Obstacles: Georgia's August 2008 armed conflict with Russia displaced thousands of people, who still need help in the areas of housing and employment.
7 United Arab Emirates
Retail sales per capita: $9,115
Economic note: A quarter of the United Arab Emirates' GDP is based on gas and oil, which was discovered in the country more than 30 years ago.
Retail note: Dubai, one of the seven emirates, was hit hard during the global financial crisis, but remains a retail force. Dubai Mall, home to Calvin Klein Collection, Dior, Fendi and H&M, logged more than 54 million visitors last year, a 15 percent increase.
Obstacles: Inflation and the country's heavy reliance on oil as the base of its economy present challenges for the years ahead.
8 Oman
Retail sales per capita: $3,699
Economic note: Oman is trying to diversify its economy to cope with waning oil supplies.
Retail note: Souks, or open-air markets, are being replaced with modern retailers. Marks & Spencer, LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton and L'Occitane have been in Oman for half a decade.
Obstacles: Oman is growing, but with just 3.1 million people, it could struggle for the retail spotlight.
9 Mongolia
Retail sales per capita: $794
Economic note: The rapid growth of the mining sector—in everything from copper and gold to
uranium and tin—is remaking Mongolia's traditionally herding- and agriculture-based economy.
Retail note: LVMH was the first luxury brand to enter Mongolia, setting up shop there in 2009. Zegna, Hugo Boss, Cartier, L'Occitane and Dunhill also have toeholds in the market.
Obstacles: Mongolia has to find a way to transition to sustainable growth beyond mining.
10 Peru
Retail sales per capita: $2,180
Economic note: Peru's economy has averaged growth of 6.4 percent since 2002, but the mineral and metals export business and food imports leave the country subject to global price changes.
Retail note: Lima, the largest city, has little space for shops aimed at middle- and upper-income shoppers, but growth outside the city presses on. Zara had already touched down in the country and Gap plans to next year.
Obstacles: Peru has grown fast, but benefits have not reached everyone, particularly in rural areas.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I was impressed with the size and quality of the pictures. the pictures and wording is very clear! I live in Canada and expected it to take longer then the delivery date but they were here a week before the expected date! after further examination I noticed a tiny spelling error. their call service and online chat both were very helpful and needless to say my order is now corrected and looks amazing!"
"Oh My!!! These are the two words that I can only say when my magnets arrived before the delivery date. I am pleased with the quality and the professionalism of this company. I will definitely purchase from Weddingpaperdivas again."
"Everything about this save the date was perfect. Quality was great and service was outstanding. My friends and family loved this elegant design and enjoyed having a magnet to keep on the fridge."
"the team was amazing to work with, customer service was great... I felt supported through my decisions and if i encountered a problem they helped right away. thye came out exactly as i had hoped. highly recommend"
"I ordered this in blush pink for my save the dates and customized the text. I got a response the very next day from a designer who had already reviewed my order, created exactly what I wanted, and worked with me on every detail I requested. I have ordered from this company three times, and I would recommend them over any other wedding invitation site. I have been blown away with the service given to me as a customer, quality of the save the dates and wedding invitations and suite items that I ordered, and timing in which I received them."

"OK for a one night stay, but not overly convenient."
"Good for a short term stay but a car is required as it is far away from other attractions such as downtown, shopping, movies, etc. Good food, but the waitresses and waiters are a bit snotty and not very good at anticipating a diners needs (eg: had to request a glass of water at each meal, had to request cream for my coffee)."

Looks like the NZ police being given iPhilth to do their jobs better may - surprise, surprise - have been stupid. Looks like one persons house was surrounded twice and searched 'accidentilly' including door breaking because their GPS told them to. The house in question was on a whole different street but after three goes it appears the cops don't even bother to check the letterbox let alone the street name when kicking in doors.
Thanks Apple, you have done the impossible, made our police even more inept and needlessly aggressive.
