Firstly my apologies for the delay in posting this 'end of run' blog. After nine months away from home there are so many things that demand attention that I quite forgot that, according to this page, I was still in deepest France.
I spent three very pleasent days in Blaymont with my cousin and her husband and did absolutely nothing to the car other than a cursory check of the oil and water levels. The steering still felt secure so I assumed the kingpin was holding up.
There are several different routes from Blaymont back to the UK and I surveyed the different ferries available before deciding that I would drive all the way up to Calais and use either EuroTunnel or a ferry. Bridget and I set off for Le Mans using minor roads rather than the main highways. The weather was dry and for the most part sunny, but I didn't drop the hood. Bridget was rather laden down with too many 10 litre boxes of French wine so that there wasn't enough space to store the hood (worth the inconvenience though).
Bridget was running really smoothly as she had done for the whole of this 12,000 mile run. We reached Le Mans mid afternoon and found a hotel easily. The following morning we got out of town early to miss the morning rush and filled up with fuel at a small garage some miles north of Le Mans. It soon became apparent that the fuel must of had rubbish in it because Bridget started to hesitate on acceleration and splutter at around 50 miles per hour. Once we pushed on to 60 mph she would settle down, but the problem persisted almost all the way back to Chinnor in Oxfordshire.
Other than the fuel issue the run from Le Mans to Calais was extremely pleasent, covering some 300 miles through Alencon, around Rouen and through Abbeville. We arrived in Calais around 13:00 hours and drove to EuroTunnel. However, as I hadn't pre-booked a ticket they wanted 180 Euros for the fare, an amount they are still waiting for! Bridget and I made our way to the ferry terminal instead, where upon we purchased a ticket for a mere 80 euros and had only to wait forty minutes for a boat.
The run from Dover back to Chinnor appeared to pass extrodinarily quickly arriving at around 16:30. Even Bridget seemed to sense that she was back home, running at an easy 70 mph for the last 40 miles of motorway.
For us it has been an interesting run although not so adventurous as our previous ones. The Winter Palace in St Petersburg was the highlight of the sightseeing bits and of course we made some new MG friends along the way, such as Ola Thygesen in Norway, Jan and Aafke Sol in The Netherlands and not fogetting the folk at the Riga Motor Museum.
Now we are back in the UK I am going to fit uprated disks on Bridget's front wheels and telescopic suspension. A thorough check from the flywheel back to the differential is also planned. Once these are completed I will think about what to do next, but there are no plans for future long haul runs for Bridget. I think she has delivered a fantastic experience, far above the expectation that the designers at MG would have considered likely when they first conceived the 1500 Midget.
Thanks to all of you that have supported her by following this blog and I will post updates from time to time on what she is up to. She will attend various MG Car Club events and if you should happen to see her anywhere around the UK please stop and say hello.

Home Run - 1st Leg
March 19th, 2014 · No Comments · Uncategorized
The run home has not started particularly well. Transmediterranea Acciona, the ferry company operating the original ferry service between Cadiz and the Canary Islands, is an un-principled operator with no concern for its customers. In full knowledge of the detrimental effect that sea water has on the bodywork of automobiles they insist on placing their customers cars on the open deck of their ferries. Bridget has a glazed coating of crystallised salt thanks to Transmediterranea. To anyone thinking of taking a ferry to the Canaries I would strongly recommend the alternative company that operates.
We arrived in Cadiz and disembarked at 12:30 on Monday. From there we drove the eighty miles to Seville, my first overnight of the run. Bridget and I visited Seville on our first ever run together in 2006 and I was scathing in my summing up of the city. Although I only had a few hours to explore I have to say my previous comments were both unfair and inaccurate. Seville has some beautiful buildings and parks. A considerable amount of work has been carried out by the authorities which has resulted in a cleaner city.
From Seville we put in our first serious day of driving 300 miles up to Salamanca (I thought he was one of James Bond's adversaries! ). Bridget is running really well despite her failing nearside king-pin. We cruised between fifty-five to sixty-five mph for almost the whole way. I did give her a long thorough wash before we left in an attempt to remove all the salt however, I am not convinced it is enough and I will need to wait until we arrive back to the UK to use something more powerful.
I found a hotel in the centre of Salamanca and went off to explore. It is a university city from the same era as Bologna and Oxford. Established in 1134 it was given the title University in 1254. Then in 1854 following the dissolution of all Theology and Canon Law universities by the Spanish Government, Pope Pius XII established a private facility now known as the Pontifical University of Salamanca. The buildings of both the Pontifical University and the University of Salamanca make an interesting architectural study.
Unusually there are two cathedrals in Salamanca. The old cathedral was founded in the 12th century and completed in the 14th century. The new cathedral was built in the 16th to 18th century. Together with the university buildings they make for a very interesting city. Also worth a mention is the Plaza Mayor which reminded me very much of the square of the same name in Madrid. It makes for a great place to sit with a beer and people watch. I was tempted, just for a few moments, to stay for an extra day and explore more.
Leaving Salamanca early Wednesday morning Bridget was in good spirits. She cruised the 300 miles to San Sebastian like a 2 year old. Still raising a smile and a wave from many other road users we arrived in San Sebastian for the second time in six months. I have made it clear in previous reports that I like this town. It has everything that Barcelona has, but all on a smaller more intimate scale.
From San Sebastian to my cousin's place in Lot and Garonne is a mere 150 miles, so tomorrow should be a relaxing short drive.

Canaria Final Post
February 26th, 2014 · 2 Comments · Uncategorized
Having received an e-mail from my 'conscience' in Abingdon pointing out that it has been four weeks since my last report I thought I had better make the effort. My apologies to those regular readers that may have wondered what had happened.
This will be our final post from the Canary Islands before starting the run back home.
In fact I have been enjoying a very entertaining time. First, my very good neighbour came visiting for a week bringing all the local news for the past eight months. We spent six of the seven days she was here walking in the mountains and were fortunate with mainly warm and cloudless weather, important if you are to be able to appreciate the breath-taking views.
The next week I got back into some serious training in the gym and obviously overdid the whole thing because I pulled a muscle in my groin and had to rest it for most of the following two weeks. It now appears to have healed and I am back onto an almost full training schedule.
This past weekend will be remembered for an incident on Saturday evening that started whilst I was preparing dinner. There sounded to be raised voices outside and I looked up from my preparations to see through the patio doors a man outside the front gate waving what appeared to be a long bladed kitchen knife. Initially thinking it was some sort of bad joke I moved over to the door where I could see one of my neighbours standing and waving an equally long bladed knife.
Realising this was a serious conflict of opinion and without thinking I pulled open the door and ran outside shouting "Oi, oi, oi. I'm not having this". Why do Englishmen come out with such daft statements in these situations? I turned to my neighbour and screamed at him "Alec, get in the house and get rid of the knife" He was clearly inebriated, an all too common a situation, and it took a moment for him to react, but then he went into his bungalow.
I turned to the other man, who I now recognised as a member of a particular "problem" family that had been brought to my attention before. A major part of the family's problem is that, the males at least, spend most of their weekends out of their heads on a variety of drugs. They speak and understand even less English than I do Spanish. The only thing I know they understand is the phrase "No problem" which they take to mean "I/We want no trouble". I repeated this several times trying to keep my voice at a normal pitch so he would not consider me to be aggressive. I then pointed to the knife which he was still waving and said "Prohibido" which I understand to mean "Not allowed". After what seemed ages he stepped over to a low wall where a sweatshirt was laying and picked this up and wrapped the knife in it. After shouting some final abuse at Alec, who was now sitting with his partner at a table on their patio, he stormed off in the direction of his residence.
For the rest of the evening I jumped at the least noise outside, but everything remained calm. The following day a couple of 'locals' did a diplomacy shuttle to smooth things over and ensure that the event did not re-ignite. Quite what had started it is still not clear to me.
I have received a new king pin assembly for Bridget's left side front wheel however the garage I was going to use to fit it has closed! So I have decided we will attempt the run home with things the way they are and hope the wheel doesn't come off. With that in mind, we leave here on 15th March on the ferry to Cadiz which should deposit us there on the 17th March. I expect to arrive back in the UK around the 24/25th March after a steady run up through Spain and France. I just hope someone fixes the weather in time.

Just One More Project?
January 24th, 2014 · 1 Comment · Uncategorized
I am managing to stay sane, or at least I am no less sane than I was before I arrived here in Gran Canaria. I keep reminding myself that laying in the sun, warm and bored is infinitely better than being at home, wet, cold and bored! However, as usual when I have a date for doing anything, the fact that I know I am starting the return journey to the UK in seven weeks' time I just want to get on with it. There are few things guaranteed to frustrate me more than waiting.
The time has given me the chance to start investigating some possible new projects. Having decided to hold on to Bridget for the foreseeable future (2 or 3 days) I think I may treat her to some upgrades. Front runners are; a five speed gear box, all round telescopic suspension and all round disc brakes. This will be in addition to new stub axles (one is certainly on the way out and may not make it back to the UK) and uprated front springs.
I have been spending an unhealthy amount of time in the local gym since I arrived here. For the past four weeks the in-vision TV there has been covering the Dakar rally!! The more I watch it the more convinced I am that I could do that in an MGB. Flare the wheel arches, fit some decent tyres and 'Bob's your uncle'. We might need to lift her off the ground a little, but nothing a decent mechanic couldn't do. And above all else, it looks damned good fun. Spectating, I couldn't' help but notice that most entrants go 'hell for leather' and then spend a couple of hours repairing some part or other that has broken. I am thinking along the 'hare and tortoise' principle; take a little care on the bends and blind hills and keep the car moving at a reasonable speed, etc. etc. etc.
Could be ready for 2016 following a few months practise in Australia. Potential sponsors wishing to apply should e-mail me direct or contact me through the MG Car Club, Abingdon. Perhaps we should consider the East African rally as a test run prior to Argentina (I still have issues with calling a rally the Dakar when it doesn't get within 3,000 miles of the place).
Yes, yes, I know I said I would hang up my driving gloves, but his won't take long and it will be the last one……..

Tribute to Hancock
December 21st, 2013 · 1 Comment · Uncategorized
It occurred to me that I haven't said much about my stay here in Gran Canaria and speaking to one or two people at the Car Club it is clear that totally the wrong impressions are doing the rounds. So to put the record straight the following, in the style of the late Tony Hancock, is a typical evening:
Scene: Sitting room of my duplex in Maspalomas, Gran Canaria. Me, pacing the room wearing checked, knee length, shorts and a Trinidad short-sleeved shirt with a picture of a Hawaiian Sunset.
"Grief, another day of rain. May as well be back in the UK where at least I had an umbrella." "Wonder if I can get a refund from Primark for this shirt. I've hardly worn it. Indoor wear only!"
Long pause follows, then a big sigh. "Typical; Gran Canarias' most important annual classic car show and they choose the one day when a cyclone strikes. Stuck here with the roof down and a soft-top that refuses to stretch enough to close the fastening clasps." "Had the concours in the bag, too. Those new 80 spoke wire wheels I've fitted would have sent everything else into oblivion. Especially that smarmy little weasel from Las Palmas with the 1965 Sebring. Ha, he wouldn't know what hit him." "I'll bet he is behind this unprecedented precipitation"
"Why don't they just call it rain? Precipitation! Just hedging their bets, so if it doesn't rain and someone says "you said it would rain" they can say "Oh no we didn't. We said there would be precipitation" Have to remember that one; on a triple letter, double word that could be worth a few Scrabble points.
Second big sigh: "Wonder if they would accept a photograph? After all it's their fault holding the competition in the middle of winter…..what do they expect?" Pause. "You know I wouldn't be surprised if this was deliberate. That chap in the office didn't look at all happy accepting an entry from an outsider. Yes; come to think of it I'm sure he said something about Gibraltar. Difficult to pinpoint with him not speaking any English." "I thought that under EU legislation everyone had to speak English, otherwise what's the point?" "Perhaps I should e-mail Alan and get him to raise it with the National Font. What they say may be rubbish but it looks very nice on paper!"
"What's the time…..18:20! I knew I shouldn't have eaten dinner so early, but I was bored."
Pause…."How many floor tiles are there along the edge of the wall, 1 2 3 4 …..18. Hmm and across the room, 1 2 3 ….10 So that's 180? I'm sure there was 190 last night let's just check again. No, why bother. What's the time? Is that clock working?"
"No point turning the tele on, it's all Spanish programmes. Even the English series they have are dubbed over so you can't understand them." "Let's try the 'Teach Yourself Spanish in 30 Minutes' again."
"Now, pronunciation. 'Quisiera una escobilla para limpiar la pipa'." "Hey that wasn't half bad, I'm beginning to get the hang of this. Now let's see what does that mean; I want a pipe cleaner. !!!! What good is that, I don't even smoke a pipe."
"What's the time?" "18:43 ohhh"
"Almost dark outside now, and its stopped raining. The reflection of the moon is bright tonight I can see miles across the Atlantic." "Now there's a point, hundreds of square miles of ocean and not one Spanish trawler in sight. Where are they all? They complain about not being able to fish in places that don't belong to them and there's all this water, full of fish and they can't even be bothered." "Typical"
"Oh, let's open the last of the Christmas cards. That's a joke, there was only one other and that was from the bank. Sarcastic bankers!" "Oh and I mustn't forget the Car Club electronic card with MGBenji"
"Well, at least this is a large card….I'm sure the wisemen didn't wear motorbike leathers but that's modern life"…."Ah" 'To Royston' "I like that, no shortened familiarity, shows good taste" 'Wishing you all the Seasons Felicitations – Felice Fiestas. With the greatest of respect, Roy'!!! "Well someone had to send one. Couldn't leave it to chance."
"Let's take a look at the paper. Nothing like three day old news. In this modern day of high speed flight is it too much to expect the National newspapers to be delivered on the day they are published" "Let's see"
"Huh. That's just what I need. Australia has stolen the Ashes back in just three tests! Time was that the competition had to be finished before anyone was declared the winner!" "Typical antipodean sportsmanship. I would disqualify the team from the competition and hand the Ashes back to England"
"Ohh, I've had enough of this. What's the time, 19:32. Close enough, I'll just have my Horlicks and an early night……..again."

No Dry Humour Left
December 12th, 2013 · 3 Comments · Uncategorized
Whilst sitting here mussing in my 'duplex' in Gran Canaria, I am reflecting on, why here? Come to that everything is reflecting thanks to the INCESSANT RAIN!
Ah yes, I came here to escape the English winter. I am reliably informed that during the first two days of last week we received a whole year's quantity of rain. Since then we have had three sunny days and dull cloud for the rest of the time.
Now, according to the weather bureau we have our very own depression. Oh lucky us, it's caused by the weather…. I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear that a Canary Island hurricane is brewing up just in time for the Christmas Season. In fact I have already made preparations naming, it aptly for this island, "Puff, the Magic Drag-Queen"
Yesterday the authorities announced that all the schools on the island would be closed today because of the extreme weather forecast (I thought it was only the NUT's that did bl…y stupid things like that). Well it is raining consistently, but not heavily. There have been some claps of thunder, but it can hardly be considered extreme, just WET.
My neighbour was telling me that he has been to Gran Canaria for the winter three times before and the weather has never been as bad as this. That makes me feel a whole lot better! All I need now is for someone to call and tell me how unusually mild the UK is this year.
I have of course had to put the top up on the car, only to find that it has been down so long it's shrunk. I must be getting old, as I had to get assistance to ease it in place whilst I closed the fasteners (any potential purchasers of the car need not worry as it will be adjusted shortly).
Sorry, there has been a short break in service due to a power outage. Fortunately it has only affected part of the south of the island. My part of the south of course! I am now typing by candlelight and no, it's not romantic.
To compensate for the weather I was going to cook myself a special treat. I went out and bought all the ingredients from the market today. Tomorrow I shall have a container full of rotten vegetables because I can't use the cooker! Just to finish off a wonderful day, I was searching by candlelight for the bottle opener for a rather pleasant Rioja I bought, only for my elbow to just catch the edge of the worktop, right on my funny bone. I yelped knocking over the candle and in trying to prevent a rather inconvenient fire starting, knocked the bottle of wine off the side table to smash on the floor.
With any luck, one of the island volcano's should erupt shortly blowing everything too smithereens.

Second Gran Canaria Update
November 20th, 2013 · 1 Comment · Uncategorized
I have now been on the island for two months, which is a third of my sentence served. Mr Innes at the Car Club has quite rightly taken me to task for not posting anything on here for several weeks and I should have enough time spare to do so.
I have settled in really quite well and developed a weekly routine. I have joined a very well equipped gym and go there Monday and Friday mornings, and depending on other activities some Wednesdays. I go into the interior of the island once a week and walk around the mountains which are beautiful with some great views. The island is very varied in its vegetation with the north being really quite green and the south, very barren.
I have fallen in with a group of classic car enthusiasts and attended a couple of their Sunday displays for the general public (similar to the shopping/garden centre event the MGCC do). There are some surprising cars hidden away here including a 1954 MG TD owned by the proprietor of the holiday complex next door to where I am staying. Can anyone name the above car?
Bridget now has two new front wheel bearings and is handling much better. The roads here, with the exception of one main motorway, are small winding mountain roads or dirt tracks. Many of the mountain roads are not much more than single carriageway with hairpin bends very common.
Winter has certainly arrived with the temperature falling to 20°C on a couple of days. The south coast of the island, which is where I am based, gets the best of the sun but can be very windy. This causes mini sand-storms that can make the beach less attractive than the pool outside my front door. The sand on the beach is quite fine, but gritty and you can end-up sand-blasted rather than sun-burnt.
I have uploaded some photos of the area around Soria in the south-west of the island which is really quite beautiful and also some photos of a few of Bridget's new friends.

Gran Canaria Update
October 11th, 2013 · 1 Comment · Uncategorized
On arriving on Gran Canaria I wasn't totally convinced that staying for six months was really a very good idea. Certainly you can't fault the climate, with the onset of winter the temperature has dropped to mid/high twenties, but the tourist industry here is so big that most of the islands culture is difficult to find.
However, I am beginning to find my way around and the interior of the island is excellent for walking, climbing and generally exploring. The island has three separate climatic systems; the south of the island is very similar to mid-north Africa, the centre of the island receives a little rain and a great deal of cloud and the north of the island is Mediterranean.
The centre is mountainous with the highest point just under 2000 metres. The mountains are fairly barren but have deep valleys that are well populated with tropical vegetation and pine woods. The wild life (as opposed to the night life which is pretty wild) consists of lizards, small mammals, nothing much larger than a rabbit, birds of prey, woodpeckers, green parrots and wood pigeon. There are no insects or reptiles here that have dangerous bites, stings or that try to eat you, a few humans might try, but …..
I now have a book of some twenty-five different walks scattered around the island (the walks not the book) that I purchased from one of the hiking companies on the island. They run guided walks, but the value for money was not impressive whereas the book is really all you need unless you want to be part of a group. Bridget has been enjoying a well deserved rest most of the time with the occasional run-out to the interior. The roads, with the exception of the main coastal motorway, are narrow, winding and often steep. You need good brakes and that is what made me realise that Bridget's felt a little spongy. I decided to bleed the brakes but as with most work it is a lot easier if you can raise the car off the ground. I was told about a car restoration company working from premises near the airport and took Bridget there. Bleeding the brakes is no more than a 20 minute job at the most so I expected to be back on the beech by lunchtime.
I was just walking away from the vehicle when they lifted the hoist and I heard the garage owner say "What's that?" I turned just as he reached out and touched the front offside wheel. It wobbled like a loose tooth. Clearly the bearing was totally shot and yet earlier in the week another garage had carried out a check and correction for her tracking! How they had missed the problem with her bearing I do not know. Fortunately I had a spare bearing set that the garage will fit on Monday. The nearside front one is also going, but will last until a replacement arrives from Moss. So for now I shall get plenty of walking until Bridget is fit once more.

The Fat Lady is Singing
September 14th, 2013 · 4 Comments · Uncategorized
The ferry trip from Cadiz to Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, was civilised by any standards given that it was forty hours long. Bridget found it a breeze.
In Cadiz the queuing, bureaucracy and high temperatures took its toll and when some cars started to queue jump I could not help myself from jumping in front of them, thankfully bringing them to a halt, and berating the second in line, the first having escaped. He rather sheepishly slunk away and even though I hadn't achieved anything, other than establishing that the British queuing system is right, returned proudly to Bridget. Later that evening, following the consumption of a well-deserved dinner, I suddenly felt that I was being watched. I looked up and some 20 feet away a slightly merry gentleman was grinning and when he realised I had seen him called out "Mr MG. You shouted at me and I am in terrible trouble". We soon established that he was the driver of the car I had berated earlier and it transpired that my action had cost him dearly with is better half.
He is a Norwegian with an English wife, who understands the queuing system well and was embarrassed by the event. He made me feel a most terrible bully, yelling at him in the way I had and so we got mutually drunk together.
We all eventually arrived in Gran Canaria and Bridget and I drove to Playa del Inlges in the south of the island. By 'close of play' Friday I had found some winter quarters in Maspalomas and that is where I am now writing this. I will be holding regular 'natters' on the second Friday of every month, all are of course welcome.
Bridget and I have been travelling for just under three months during which we have covered 9,000 miles (14,600km) around Europe. With the additional 1,500 miles from here to home which we will complete next year, plus local mileage on the island, that will be a total of some 11/12,000 miles. I doubt if either you or I are overly delighted that Bridget's retirement run has been anything less than Around the World but financially it never really was on.
Yes, I said retirement run. I think I have asked all that realistically I should of a car of Bridget's vintage. I have calculated that she has certainly covered 150,000 miles (240,000km) and it could possibly be more. Many of them have not been easy, a classic British understatement, and she never was considered, even by me, to be suitable for what was asked of her.
Of the seven years since we started this activity we have travelled for well over three of them. The experience has been awesome for me.
Now the question is "What to do with Bridget?" I don't know if any of the museums would be interested in taking her, this would be my preferred outcome as she would be properly maintained and available for the public to see and share. I am open to any other ideas, or even offers!

Chancellor Message 1/25/11
Message to Faculty and Staff
RE Update on the state's ongoing budget crisis
Dear UIC Faculty and Staff,
Since I became chancellor two years ago, no issue has been of greater concern to our community - and to me - than the state's budget crisis and its impact on UIC. In recent weeks alone, I have received numerous communications on this topic, and many other e-mails have been shared on campus listservs. No doubt you have seen some of these postings. Most come from members of our community who care deeply about UIC's mission and its future, express understandable concern about our ongoing fiscal crisis, and raise thoughtful comments and questions. I want to take this opportunity to share another of my periodic messages about the budget - to lay out the facts as clearly as I understand them and try to address at least some of the questions and concerns that have been raised.
The University of Illinois, including UIC, remains an institution that faces historic budget challenges and one which operates in an environment of great uncertainty that makes planning for the future very difficult. Simply put, we face two separate but related problems: an ongoing operating cash-flow problem due to chronic delays in general revenue payments from the State of Illinois, and the longer-term issue of disinvestment in the campus - budget cuts, flat budgets, cash rescissions and lack of capital funding, dating back to FY 2002. In the current Fiscal Year 2011, we sustained an effective cut of 6.3 percent, or nearly $47 million University-wide.
While the campus's overall budget is approximately $1.8 billion, 65 percent of these funds are "restricted" in that they must be used for a specific purpose; for example, state reimbursement of patient care costs to the Medical Center, or philanthropic donations to support a scholarship program or building project. So, like most public universities, we are heavily dependent upon our "unrestricted" funds, primarily state general revenue funds and tuition. As the provost and I have reported to you for the past several years, the State has been many months behind in payments to the University, thus depriving us of a reliable stream of critically needed revenue. At this writing, the State is in arrears in payments to the University of Illinois of $406 million in general funds and $31 million in Monetary Award Program (MAP) scholarship funds in FY 2011, for a total of $437 million. UIC's share of this is approximately $190 million, or more than 10 percent of our annual budget. This is an extraordinary situation, putting enormous pressure on us in terms of day-to-day operations and hobbling our ability to plan for and invest in our future.
Among other things, this situation forces the campus and individual units to maintain cash reserves. UIC's monthly payroll obligation totals $73.8 million. Our cash reserves are what will enable us, if the State's situation worsens, to keep paying salaries or to cope with emergencies, such as a critical infrastructure problem (the fire in the College of Pharmacy in 2008 would be an example). First and foremost, any university, including UIC, depends upon its faculty and staff, and we must be certain that we can pay salaries. The cash reserves also ensure that we can meet any demands from the State for rescissions - essentially, giving money back to the State that has already been appropriated - without affecting day-to-day operations and throwing us into even greater turmoil. These balances also could be used to buffer the campus and the units holding the balances from the immediate impact of anticipated budget reductions.
In the waning days of the last General Assembly session, Springfield passed an increase in the Illinois income tax. However, many analysts, including the University's Institute of Government and Public Affairs' Fiscal Futures Project, found that while the new tax policies will reduce projected budget gaps significantly, the budget shortfall won't be eliminated. Professor David Merriman, associate director of IGPA, gave a very detailed presentation about the state's financial problems (PDF file) at last week's Trustees meeting. And there will be a lag from the time the tax increase takes effect to the point where we will see relief on the university's bottom line. Even then, there is no guarantee that the recent practice of long delays in promised payments will be alleviated, especially since the legislature did not approve additional borrowing authority to catch up on its outstanding obligations. So while the tax increase will help the state's finances, by no means does it spell an end to the serious problems facing UIC and other public universities and institutions.
In the face of the crisis, Interim President Stanley Ikenberry last year instituted a program of unpaid furloughs. President Hogan has said on several occasions - as recently as last week - that he does NOT want to implement any more furloughs. He also has indicated he supports a salary increase for FY 2012. While nothing will be final until the Board of Trustees takes action on our FY 2012 budget, I applaud Mike Hogan's position and hope we will be able to provide our faculty and staff with a well-deserved salary increase.
Regarding the broader state financial picture, we continue to operate in an atmosphere of challenge and uncertainty. All units have been asked to prepare for scenarios for FY 2012 budget reductions of varying severity. We hope to know more when the Governor delivers his annual budget address to the General Assembly, usually in February. Once the campus's budget review meetings are completed in late April, we will make a final decision on what reductions need to be implemented. Meanwhile, both the campus and the university as a whole continue to seek operating cost reductions and efficiencies through the administrative review processes launched in 2010 by Interim President Ikenberry.
Some members of our community have raised questions about transparency and ongoing access to budget information. Virtually everything I've said here also has been discussed in open meetings of the University Board of Trustees and the campus Senate. The provost and I meet regularly with the Senate and Senate Executive Committee to discuss important issues, including those relating to the budget. At the university level, President Hogan has met with the Senates on all three campuses. In public sessions with agendas posted well in advance, the Board of Trustees hears presentations on university financial matters, including the operating budgets and budget requests to the state, and takes votes on our budgets and tuition levels. The university's budget summary of operations is available online.
I will report to you again as more is known about the budget situation. I want to close by expressing my sincere thanks to all of you, our faculty and staff, for your remarkable dedication to our students, patients and to excellence in fulfilling every aspect of our mission.

Today, I have made a decision. Well, actually I made it last week - but just the same, I have decided to make lots of changes - for no other reason than for ME.
I've tried other ways - of doing what others thought was best......what others wanted me to look like, and eat, etc.
It would last for a while - but then I'd fail miserably again and sink into my deep depressive funk.
I have come to realize, the only thing that truely matters in life, is what God thinks and what I think. If I live the way I know I can and should - if I treat myself and my body with the respect it deserves - I cannot fail.
I won't tell you that it is easy to pass the snacks by at work - it isn't easy to have overweight friends who aren't ready or willing to make changes - and it definitely is not easy being around negativity.
I have decided to start my day off being thankful and trying to surround my self with positive things - be it quotes, or music - anything to keep me focused on being positive.
Now, I know there are days & times when you can't be 100% positive.....I am just determined not to let it get me down anymore.
I am going to live and not "wait" until I look like the vision I have in my head of myself. I have passed too many things by because I've been worried about what others would think or say because I am not the poster child for the 'perfect body'.
I know that if I am happy with myself - the rest will come.
I am worth it and I deserve it!
This is me at our Christmas party - December 2010.
I am using this as a starting point - to look, feel and be better.
I am not happy with how I have been doing - good some weeks, bad others.....
I know I need to be more consistent with my exercise and with my diet.
I am a mom, so I think about my daughter the majority of the time, but I need to focus on me and give myself some "me time" to do what I need to do to make myself better.
I would like to maybe start running - but I am not sure exacting how to do that - I would love to hear how other started out and how it works for them. I know I love zumba and turbojam - so I need to make that priority as well.
I know what I need to do - and I have a plan - so now - NO EXCUSES!
I hate not seeing results. I am so impatient it is really pathetic.
I have not been one who has had to struggle with weight much - and now that I am - if it doesn't happen right now....I get very depressed.
I was almost the opposite before I had my daughter. Wearing 0's maybe 2's..... then I had trouble getting pregnant. So - bring on the fertility drugs - that put 25 lbs on me almost immediately! Quite frankly - it's not all ever come off. I went thru spells of losing down to where I wore 6's - but no further than that - and I didn't really try.
So - bring on age.....stress......depression........it has taken its toll for sure. And...since I am not that 'spring chicken' anymore - it doesn't budge without lots of effort.
I am like a lot of people on here - not really thinking about it or even noticing it day to day - until I saw a picture of myself. I just broke down - and thought "can that REALLY be me???"
There are so many reasons I want to be better and look better - for my daughter - to see her do all the things I hope she will and grow up ...... for my family and most importantly - for me. If I am not in the right mindset and if I am not comfortable and happy with my life - it will not happen.
I know the things I need to change and the things that I can make better.
I just have to be committed to doing it and stick it out until I do see the results!
Really??? Another bake sale coming thru our office - 2 HUGE carts...... loaded with pies, cakes, cookies - "only $1 each" they say........homemade goodies wrapped in Christmas looking bags.....
I've been very proud of myself so far, and have not tasted one thing others have bought and left on the counter for "anyone to try"...... NOPE! WILL NOT DO IT!!!!
For Christmas, I'd really like to lose 5 lbs at least......between now and then, I think I can do it......but my willpower has to stay intact! :)

RAMSEY, Minn. (WCCO) – Several people were able to escape from an early morning house fire in Ramsey, according to authorities.
Fire crews responded to a report of a house fire on the 14000 block of Potassium Street early Wednesday morning. When authorities arrived, a fire had started near a deck on the back of the house and quickly spread to the deck.
The home suffered significant damage as a result of the fire, but nobody was hurt. An older couple lives at the residence, and the homeowner said relatives were staying with them while they are looking for a new home.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Heritage Financial Group, Inc. 2012 Net Income Up 77% Versus 2011, Increasing To $6.8 Million Or $0.85 Per Diluted Share
The provision for loan losses on non-FDIC-acquired loans slightly increased to $600,000 for the fourth quarter of 2012 from $595,000 for the same quarter in 2011, primarily driven by organic loan growth offset in part by improving net charge-off trends. For the fourth quarter in 2012, the allowance for loan losses represented 1.55% of total loans outstanding, excluding loans acquired in FDIC-assisted acquisitions, versus 1.57% for the linked-quarter and 1.72% for the same quarter in 2011.

This was based off one of my favorite extract recipes. I dabbled with other AG IPAs and was never quite as satisfied. This recipe is definitely as wonderful as my original. I tweaked it for AG and went all out and it's a winner!
Recipe: Ambrosia IPA
Brewer: Orpheus
Style: Imperial IPA
TYPE: All Grain
Recipe Specifications
Batch Size: 5.00 gal
Boil Size: 6.41 gal
Estimated OG: 1.089 SG
Estimated Color: 8.8 SRM
Estimated IBU: 69.2 IBU
Brewhouse Efficiency: 85.00 %
Boil Time: 60 Minutes
Amount Item Type % or IBU
13.50 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 93.10 %
1.00 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L (40.0 SRM) Grain 6.90 %
1.00 oz Centennial [10.00 %] (Dry Hop 21 days) Hops -
1.00 oz Cascade [5.50 %] (Dry Hop 21 days) Hops -
3.00 oz Northern Brewer [8.50 %] (60 min) Hops 69.2 IBU
1.00 oz Cascade [5.50 %] (1 min) (Aroma) Hops -
4.00 oz Oak Chips (Secondary 14.0 days) Misc
1 Pkgs Nottingham (Danstar #-) Yeast-Ale
Notes: I actually took 1 # of the base malt and toasted it in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes prior to crushing with the rest of the grains.
I was only going to dry hop for 2 weeks and add the oak for 1 week but I neglected my secondary for an extra week and I'm glad I did!
I read the rave reviews this got in the other thread, so I think I definitely want to make this.
Orpheus, what temperature did you mash at? Is it just a single infusion mash?
I'm not at the point where I can tell what the temp should be based on the grain bill/desired malt profile, so please excuse the n00bish question.
No problems,
I used a single infusion mash @ 154 degrees for 60 minutes. I just plugged all the ingredients into BeerSmith myself and let the program tell me my temps, etc.
This keg was my 'Chanukah keg." The thing kept giving beer. It recently kicked, but the last couple glasses were simply heaven!
My next batch is going to be a stout, but I'll have to get this beer going again ASAP.
How come you dont have a yeast starter for this batch? Since it's gravity reading is above 1.050, the yeast might not survive that long.
Any particular reason why?
I made a batch using this recipe and it turned out great. I had to make a few substitutions because my local brew shop didn't have a few of the ingredients, but I tried to stick as close to the recipe as possible. It turned out to be one of the best beers I've made. The oak chips are a nice touch.
brewing this up tomorrow, looking forward to my first batch in a long time!!

Property Assessment
Understand the Assessment Process
Are You Eligible For An Exemption?
- Agricultural & Horticultural Exemptions
- Disability Exemption
- Homestead Exemption
- Nonprofit & Religious Organization Exemptions
According to Kentucky's Constitution, property owners who have been declared permanently and totally disabled for the previous twelve (12) months by any public or private retirement system may be eligible for the disability exemption. If you are eligible, the amount of the exemption is subtracted from your property's assessed value – so you will pay less property tax.
To qualify as a "disabled" taxpayer, the individual must meet ALL of the following four requirements:
1. Taxpayer must both own and occupy the property as his/her permanent residence.
2. The taxpayer must have been classified as totally disabled under a program authorized or administered by the Federal Government or by any other retirement system- it does not matter if the retirement system is located in Kentucky or outside the state- on January 1st of the year in which the application is made and maintain the disability classification through December 31st.
3. The taxpayer must be receiving disability payments pursuant to that disability classification.
4. An annual application for the disability exemption must be filed with the PVA office by December 31st EVERY YEAR.
Please remember in order to continue to receive the Disability Exemption you are required to submit an affidavit every year by December 31st verifying that you have maintained the classification of 100% disabled during the entire applicable tax year. You should receive the affidavit from our office by early December.
Kentucky law requires that every person who receives the disability exemption must reapply each year with the Property Valuation Administrator. For 2014, the exemption amount is $36,000.
Application Procedure- It is easy to apply! Simply mail the following to the Office of the Boone County PVA. Please note on the outside of the envelope, "Disability Exemption".
Visit the Explanation and Application page
You can download and complete these forms on your computer. For your convenience you may email the completed form to email@example.com. Please be sure that you include the name of the form in the subject line of your email to ensure that it gets properly routed within the administration.
Property is assessed per KRS 132.20 on January 1st of each year. The data listed on our website reflects the most current data available to the PVA office. If you believe any data provided is inaccurate, or if you have any comments about this site, we would like to hear from you.
While the Office of the Property Valuation Administrator has attempted to ensure that the data contained in this file is accurate and reflects the property's characteristics, the PVA makes no warranties, expressed or implied, concerning the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or suitability of this data.

6 Questions About the Season Finale of '24: Live Another Day'
Answered questions:
1. What a shitshow, eh?
When the show suddenly killed off its antagonist and totally changed gears with a handful of episodes still to go, there was at least some sense that an interesting narrative was being constructed. But after that finale, which saw the murder of Audrey by one of Chang's snipers and some subsequent crazy-ass retaliation from Jack, I'm pretty sure said narrative was that the writers got super drunk, said "to hell with it", and went nuts throwing in as much gunfire and bloodshed into their scripts as the network would allow.Read More

We used these columns for a 70's themed surprise birthday party. They were sturdy and easy to put together. This provided a big impact while only taking up a little bit of space. Perfect decoration for a house party.
Best Uses
I used it to decorate for an 8th grade graduation party which had a 60's retro theme. They framed the doors and looked great. I did tape the bottoms of the columns to the floor so they wouldn't fall over with all the kids running by.

I had a car loan with Sovereign Bank for the amount of $25,456 in 2007 which was later transferred to Santander Bank in 2009. My car was total loss in Dec of 2010 in which the cost of the damages was worth more than the how much the car was actually worth at the time worth. As a result, I was left with a balance of $2,947 which I never paid.
it is being reported on my report as Charged off $2,947. Written off $2,491...
I disputed this account a few times with the CRA and it always comes back verified.
So my question to is how should I go about getting this tradeline removed? Should I offer a pay for delete? and since it was written off should I offer the remaining $456 for the delete.... Or should offer to pay a portion in return of getting the charge off an late payments removed....
Let me know your thoughts on this
If anyone has their contact info please foward it to me as well...
I assume that their resolution of the account is accurate, and that the net loss they incurred is the reported amount they removed from their accounting books as a still-receivable asset. That all appears correct from what was posted.
The amount charged-off is purely their internal bookeeping and tax issue with the IRS. Charging-off bad debt does not in any way excuse the consumer from that debt.
So the remaining balance would still be the total amount of the unpaid, delinquent debt. I dont see a "remaining" amount of lower debt based on what they chose to declare as a no-longer collectible asset.
In my opinion, you should first contact them and ask as to what they consider the remaining debt balance. I doubt they will assert only the $456.
Until you know the current, asserted amount of unpaid debt, it is kinda hard to recommend a payment amount to offer in a PFD.
ok thanks......... will do

ARDMORE, OK - Two more arrests have been made in a shooting that took place Thursday in Ardmore. 18-year-olds Demontre Wright and Reginald Vlorie were arrested Friday.
They're facing charges of shooting with intent to kill. Wright is also facing charges for possession of marijuana and attempting to destroy evidence. Police say early Thursday morning the men shot at a home in the 800 block of 3rd Southwest.
Ardmore Police Sergeant Ryan Hunnicutt says it's disappointing to see young men involved in these crimes.
"It's a terrible thing to find yourself involved in. It's a terrible way to start out your adult life to be arrested and charged with these very violent crimes," Sgt. Hunnicutt said.
Andra Brown has already been charged with shooting with intent to kill in this incident. Police say there have been 20 shooting incidents since May.

Will a loose gas cap cause the check engine light to come on. My CEL displayed shortly after our return trip from a vacation however upon my next gas fill up I noticed that my wife did not have the gas cap on tightly. After securing the gas cap after filling up the CEL still remained lite. I took to mechanic and they indicated that New Evap Vent Valve and Purge Valve needed to be replaced. My vehicle has only 62,000 miles.

Answer #1Bret Bodas from RepairPal Test Shop, April 18, 2009, 09:28Master
If the gas cap was loose, then that is likely what caused the light to come on. It's unlikely that both valves failed at the same time the gas cap was left loose. Have the shop note down the codes that were stored, have the codes reset, and if it comes back on, take it to a different shop if possible.

A cousin of Johnson, who did not want to be named, told Fox10News this morning, Johnson was fishing last night at the pier when he fell into the water.
A number of rescue agencies are involved in the search for the fisherman including ; divers from the Orange Beach Fire Department, the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office, the Fort Morgan Volunteer Fire Department, Bon Secour Volunteer Fire and Rescue as well as the U.S. Coast Guard.
Family members say the Coast Guard ended the search last night because of severe weather conditions. The search resumed this morning.

NC Board Of Ed Calls Two Schools 'Not High-Quality,' Doesn't Renew Their Charters
Citing poor performance and compliance problems, the State Board of Education voted to not renew the charters of two schools in Carrboro and Morehead City.
The state's Charter School Advisory Board recommended to the Board of Education in December to terminate the charters held by PACE Academy and Coastal Academy for Technology and Science.
Joel Medley, director of the state's Office of Charter Schools, says the decision was difficult, but is critical to ensuring "high-quality charter schools" in North Carolina.
"Renewal decisions are based on past performance, not future promises," he says. "Any charter school that struggles, it is not because of the students that are in the schools, it is because of the leaders of the schools and because of the decisions they did or did not make."
Medley says his office found that both schools have patterns of non-compliance, low academic performance and concerns related to financial stability.
Supporters of PACE Academy, however, refute many of the findings. They argue that the school was compliant in all areas except for accountability, which is related to test performance.
The school's large population of students with special needs makes it difficult to fairly assess their academic performance, they say. More than half of their students are considered exceptional children with individualized education plans.
"We're going to continue to fight this. It's not going to be an easy road but we feel like we have a lot of documented evidence to support our case to get us a renewal of our charter," says Rhonda Franklin, principal of PACE Academy.
Coastal Academy for Technology and Science, formerly known as Cape Lookout Marine Science High School, successfully appealed a non-renewal decision made in 2012. Consequently, the Office of Charter Schools granted the school a two-year renewal with several stipulations. Officials say they ultimately were not successful in meeting them.

(KMOV) – Investigators have a identified a suspect in connection with the downtown St. Louis Library stabbing that killed a man on Wednesday.
Investigators are looking for 46-year-old Gary Guiden. Guiden is accused of stabbing Jeronnia Graves, 41, near 13th and Olive Wednesday morning. The victim was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Library spokesman Gerald Brooks told The Associated Press that the attack involved a jealous ex-boyfriend who saw his former girlfriend with another man.
He emphasized that the incident "had nothing to do with the library but just happened outside on our sidewalk."
Anybody with tips on Guiden's whereabouts is asked to call the St. Louis police.

I've been around long enough now that a lot of my families are on their second or third or fourth child, which is fun because then I get to see them when they're first born and I see them now when they're 5 or 6 or 7. You get to know them all as a family.
I don't think anyone likes to see kids sick, especially the parents. So I think the best you can do is really explain to the parents what the course will be, what to expect in the next few days or the next few weeks. And then let them know that if they ever get worried just to call back or to come back and we're always around.
