Efavirenz Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Warnings
Efavirenz is also known as: Sustiva
Efavirenz Pregnancy Warnings
Animal studies have revealed evidence of fetal harm. This drug crosses the placenta in animals and produces fetal blood levels similar to maternal blood levels. This drug may cause fetal harm when used during the first trimester. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. To monitor maternal-fetal outcomes of pregnant women exposed to antiretroviral therapy, an Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry (APR) has been established. Healthcare providers are encouraged to prospectively register patients. For additional information: apregistry.com As of July 2013, the APR received prospective reports of 904 pregnancies with first-trimester exposure to this drug; birth defects occurred in 18 of 766 live births with first-trimester exposure. As of July 2010, birth defects occurred in 2 of 69 live births with second- or third-trimester exposure. One of the prospective reports with first-trimester exposure was a neural tube defect. Also, a single case of anophthalmia was prospectively reported with first-trimester exposure; however, this case included severe oblique facial clefts and amniotic banding, a known association with anophthalmia. There have been 6 cases of findings consistent with neural tube defects (including meningomyelocele) retrospectively reported in infants of mothers who had first-trimester exposure. Multiple defects (Dandy-Walker syndrome) in a fetus from a spontaneous abortion and neural tube defects in a fetus from a pregnancy terminated during the second trimester have also been reported. Both mothers had first-trimester exposure to efavirenz-containing regimens. Causality could not be clearly established in any of these cases. Pregnancy should be avoided during use of this drug. Barrier contraception should always be used in combination with other methods of contraception (e.g., hormonal). Use of adequate contraception for 12 weeks after drug discontinuation is recommended. Women of childbearing potential should undergo pregnancy testing before starting therapy and should be advised to notify their physician if they become pregnant during therapy. AU TGA pregnancy category D: Drugs which have caused, are suspected to have caused or may be expected to cause, an increased incidence of human fetal malformations or irreversible damage. These drugs may also have adverse pharmacological effects. Accompanying texts should be consulted for further details. US FDA pregnancy category D: There is positive evidence of human fetal risk based on adverse reaction data from investigational or marketing experience or studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks.
This drug should not be used during pregnancy unless there are no alternatives and the benefit outweighs the risk to the fetus. AU TGA pregnancy category: D US FDA pregnancy category: D Comments: -Effective contraception is recommended during therapy and for 12 weeks after the last dose; local protocol should be consulted regarding contraception timing. -If this drug is used during the first trimester of pregnancy, or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, the patient should be apprised of the potential harm to the fetus.
Efavirenz Breastfeeding Warnings
Breastfeeding is not recommended during use of this drug. If replacement feeding is not an option, the WHO recommends a triple-drug regimen for HIV-infected women who are nursing; this drug is included in the first-choice regimen. Excreted into human milk: Yes Comments: -This drug has been used without apparent harmful effects in the nursing infant. -The US CDC, American Academy of Pediatrics, and manufacturer advise HIV-infected women not to breastfeed to avoid postnatal transmission of HIV to a child who may not yet be infected. -Local guidelines should be consulted if replacement feeding is not an option.
Milk samples from 13 mothers and plasma samples from their breastfed infants were taken 3 to 4 hours after the last dose. The mothers, who averaged 15.8 weeks (range: 6 to 25 weeks) postpartum, used efavirenz 600 mg daily with lamivudine and (zidovudine [n=12] or stavudine [n=1]). Skimmed breast milk efavirenz levels averaged 3.5 mg/L (range: 1.3 to 7.4 mg/L) and infant plasma levels averaged 0.86 mg/L (range: 0.4 to 1.5 mg/L). Infant plasma levels averaged 13% of maternal plasma levels; correlation not statistically significant. Average plasma levels were slightly below the level effective for HIV suppression in adults. No side effects were reported in the infants after 6 months of breastfeeding, none had developed HIV infection, and all were developing normally. Breast milk from 51 HIV-infected nursing mothers and blood samples from their exclusively breastfed infants were obtained 12 to 14 hours after a dose and dried; the mothers were using efavirenz 600 mg once a day (as part of antiretroviral regimens). Breast milk level averaged 2280 mcg/L (interquartile range: 1180 to 3270 mcg/L) and infant plasma level averaged 178 mcg/L (interquartile range: 88 to 340 mcg/L). The maternal CYP450 2B6 rs3745274 genotype affected breast milk levels and infant plasma levels; the TT genotype had statistically significant higher milk levels than the GG or GT genotypes and the TT and GT genotypes had statistically significant higher infant plasma levels than the GG genotype. An infant dose of 340 mcg/kg/day (median) was estimated. About 146 days after delivery, mid-feed milk samples were collected from 5 mothers at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours after an evening dose; they were using efavirenz 600 mg orally daily (as part of antiretroviral regimen). The peak level averaged 4.5 mg/L at about 4 hours postdose; the trough milk value averaged 2.5 mg/L. This drug was measured in 117 breastfed (90% exclusive) infants whose mothers used efavirenz for HIV infection during pregnancy and postpartum. The drug was detectable in all plasma samples at 0 (mean 1.7 mg/L), 8 (mean 0.3 mg/L), and 12 (mean 0.3 mg/L) weeks postpartum. It was also detectable in all hair samples at 12 weeks postpartum (mean 1.9 ng/mg of hair; range: 0.34 to 11 ng/mg). The results suggest infants have substantial exposure to this drug during breastfeeding.

Moon Posts
Not sure why exactly, but the moon seems to be in my corner of late, or at least I've been writing and reading about projects that engage it. I posted something about Katie Paterson's work on the subject on Art21, though she seems to engage it as a portion of Nature. I've been thinking about her projects lately because I continually run into the idea that "Nature" as on over-there-thing doesn't really exist. Yet, she seems interested in giving it a voice somehow, to transmit its message (or its passive failure). Does that mean that Nature qua Nature remains in tact as a Romantic construct in her work? Or does it collapse under the weight of failed expectations?
Then too, Devin shared a link with me about artist Agnes Meyer-Brandis and her flock of Moon Geese-in-training. The movie about it is just drop-dead gorgeous and, as I mentioned on BadatSports, reminds me of a Wes Anderson scheme. All the science looks home made, a blend of unflinching seriousness and innocence at the same time. You can read more about her project by going here.
All of this Outer Space talk brings me back to Carrie Gundersdorf's work, of course, her patient and steady portraits of astral space. To that end, I thought I could link to her site too, in case you feel like taking a Wednesday derive through her cyber studio…O yes! And lastly! Benjamin Philips posted new moon-related works as well! So, again, if you're so inclined…make it a Moon-edsday.

- Madame De...
- Production year: 1953
- Countries: France, Rest of the world
- Cert (UK): U
- Runtime: 102 mins
- Directors: Max Ophuls
- Cast: Charles Boyer, Danielle Darrieux, Lia De Leo, Vittorio De Sica
After numerous viewings I'm happy to call Max Ophüls's Madame de…, made in 1953 and re-released in a new print, flawless. Ophüls returned from his extended Hollywood exile (which had resulted in four postwar films) to direct four stylish French movies, all with period settings. Made between Le Plaisir, his Maupassant portmanteau picture, and his final film, Lola Montès, this penultimate masterpiece stars Danielle Darrieux as a wilful French countess in fin-de-siècle Paris who falls in love with an Italian diplomat (Vittorio De Sica). The witty plot follows a pair of earrings given her by the Count (Charles Boyer) that pass from hand to hand. It's full of characteristically graceful tracking shots, the editing is superb, and in her third consecutive Ophüls film Darrieux has never looked more entrancing.

Embroidered Central Asian textiles offer enduring charm, color and value.
Textile collectors have long been acquainted with suzanis. These vividly colored and patterned floral and abstract silk-embroidery on tea-stained cotton or silk originated in Uzebekistan and Kazakhstan as wedding treasures, such as pieced bed covers and wall hangings.
Long appreciated in Turkey, where Architectural Digest photographed embroidered pillow covers on outdoor furniture, they were discovered by the west about five years ago when their great design and craftsmanship could be obtained at modest prices. Soon the blogs were featuring suzanis and well-respected textile dealers like Marla Mallett collected and resells some of the choicest antiques.… Continue Reading

Effect of Glaucoma Educators on Adherence to Prescribed Therapeutic Regimens in Glaucoma Patients
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness worldwide. Non-adherence to glaucoma medication, which may result in loss of vision, is known to be prevalent. Available information regarding adherence to prescribed medical therapy suggests that some apparent treatment failures may actually be due to non-adherence. The investigators' specific aim is to conduct a study that will examine the effect of a glaucoma educator intervention on adherence to topical glaucoma therapy. The investigators' hypothesis is that patient education and counseling delivered by a trained glaucoma educator, through both planned visits and telephone contacts, will increase adherence to topical glaucoma therapy.

Robert Horton Recommends: More Like "Carts of Darkness"
This is first in a series of posts where film critic Robert Horton recommends other independent films viewers might enjoy if they like what they see on Reel NW.
In Murray Siple's Carts of Darkness, the filmmaker forges bonds with men in Vancouver's homeless population, who collect bottles and cans for deposit money and ride shopping carts down steep suburban hills for the sheer rush of it. The film displays both sympathy and traces of mischief—Siple hasn't left his past as a snowboarder entirely behind. Other movies come to mind, not just because of overlapping subject matter, but because they share a similar sympathy with outsider communities. For instance:
Streetwise (1984). This devastating feature remains a classic of non-fiction filmmaking, a study of adolescent street kids in Seattle whose recourse to drugs and prostitution is in direct proportion to the neglect or abuse they receive from the adults in their world. Filmmakers Martin Bell and Mary Ellen Mark have a clear-eyed gaze that prevents the movie from sentimentalizing its subject, but the results are nevertheless heartbreaking.
Murderball (2005). An exhilarating documentary about the gung-ho participants in wheelchair rugby, known to participants as "murderball." In Carts of Darkness, director Siple talks about his life as a quadriplegic man; this movie has some of his cheeky defiance. My review of Murderball.
Great Speeches from a Dying World (2009, not on DVD yet). Seattle filmmaker Linas Phillips got to know some downtown homeless people, and the profiles here are as intimate as they are sometimes difficult to watch. The film's most remarkable touch is having these hard-luck citizens recite passages from stirring pieces of writing: the words of Lincoln, King, Sojourner Truth, and Shakespeare come pouring out at the most unlikely times. My review of Great Speeches.

Recently retired so I have a lot more time to explore other aspects of what life can offer. 9 to 5 concerns are a thing of the past for me.
MY abode is a small house near the Grove and the Beverly Center. I like to think of it as my personal life raft in the sea that is Los Angeles. I'm here seeking a co-captain.
Co-Captain requirements include: must have sometime in their life used a rotary phone (demonstrates patience). Good sense of direction so we don't go adrift - although veering off course can lead to adventure. Must possess hopelessly romantic tendencies to make our journey through the sea a joyous one. Be fine with give and take. I am. Be my best friend, my confidante, my lover, my rock. I will reciprocate.
You'll find me to be an honest ,passionate, caring seafarer with solid values.
When we come ashore I don't mind a hike short or long, a game of tennis, or going to dabble in the horse races. I am not a big gambler, but I enjoy the challenge of handicapping horses!

Christchurch needs jetter/vac combo trucks
Christchurch City Council has requested help from Australian owners of combination jetter and suction trucks.
Its City Care division needs about 20 units and crews for 8 to 12 weeks of long day shifts, to be deployed removing liquefaction silt from stormwater pipes, blocked as a result of the recent earthquake. Alternatives such as straight jetter/CCTV vehicles are also being considered.
Silt needs to be jetted or sucked out of the pipes as a matter of urgency before it completely hardens and poses a more difficult engineering problem. Naturally there is the potential for a public health issue if sewerage services are not restored.
Sydney Water is coordinating offers of support from the water industry and its Bruce Angus, (contact details below), can outline what is involved and the status of the current proposals to deploy equipment.
Typical jetter truck pictures are attached. However offers of smaller vehicles or skid mounted units with similar jetting or suction functionality are being welcomed. It is understood that five organisations have already offered assistance but further offers are welcome.

11th Route 66 Rally Drives 'Teamwork & Brand'
September 24, 2014 by RVBusiness · Leave a Comment
Despite torrential rains in the Phoenix area resulting in widespread flooding, nearly 225 RV dealers attended the 2014 Route 66 Rally, Sept. 8-10 in Scottsdale.
"Rain in Phoenix? While they said it wouldn't happen, fortunately we had an indoor plan locked and loaded," said Route 66 partner and co-founder Dave Francis in a press release. "Regardless, those who attended not only enjoyed the Hyatt Gainey Ranch, but also left with a renewed understanding of 'WE >ME' and what role we all play in strengthening the Route 66 brand."
The network's lead announcement was about the creation of a new lifestyle documentary television series under the working title "RV There Yet? "
"This new, half-hour TV series will capture engaging stories from actual RVers to convey the importance of unplugging from 'normal living' and connecting with friends and family in an RV and the outdoors," said Steve Francis, partner and co-founder of Route 66. "The show will be shot, directed and produced by Little Village Films, a Los Angeles-based film company that specializes in telling travel-related stories in an artistic, accessible and unique fashion. In addition, we're very excited to welcome Jayco on board as one of the project's title sponsors."
Several other brand-related announcements included the introduction of the industry's first stand-alone 24/7 technical support hotline called Route 66 Tech24. Also, the network's proprietary website and software development company, Amdia Software, announced several new website features and support services to enhance the lead-generating performance of their network-exclusive dealer website platform. Route 66 also launched 2448 Productions, an in-house video production company, created to not only support network communications and branding efforts, but also serve the video needs of all dealerships in Route 66.
The network management team is closely supported by an active advisory board of North American dealers who are involved in all programs and efforts undertaken. The advisory board members for 2014-2015 include:
United States:
Steve Swanson – Hilltop RV Superstore (Michigan)
Jack Stewart – RV Connections (Florida)
Kevin Jones – Access RV (Utah)
Chris Hoover – Ron Hoover RV & Marine Centers (Texas)
Paul Gurtler – Clear Creek RV Center (Washington)
Lynn Butler – Setzer's World of Camping (West Virginia)
Gloria Morgan – The Trail Center (South Carolina)
David Sothan – Apache Camper Center (Nebraska)
Brian Bent – Bent's RV Rendezvous (Louisiana)
Troy Jenkins – Bish's RV Super Center (Idaho)
Ken Friedenberg – Arrkann Trailer & RV Centre (Alberta)
Andre Levesque – Roulettes A.S. Levesque (Quebec)
Jason Johnstone – Smith's RV Centre (Ontario)
ROUTE 66 Adds 8 New Locations to 'Network'
July 17, 2014 by RVBusiness · Leave a Comment
The ROUTE 66 RV network announced that it has added eight new dealership locations since April, boosting its total to nearly 160 full-service independent RV dealer sites in 42 states and provinces.
ROUTE 66 noted in a press release that all locations did not represent new dealerships, but that the "aggressive expansion of our existing ROUTE 66 dealers in both the U.S. and Canada is a great sign of the times for both the network and the industry as a whole."
"If you're going to promise RVers that, 'Wherever the road takes you … you can count on us,' you must be able to deliver on two major fronts," said Rob Merrill, ROUTE 66 partner. "First of all, you must have service and parts store locations where RVers travel, and secondly, these locations must be a unified team of service-minded dealerships. While this was central in our original network vision, we've been very blessed watching it emerge over the last 11 years resulting in very satisfied RV customers."
New locations include:
• Bent's RV Rendezvous, Brian Bent, Boutte, La.
• Freedom RV, Devin Murphy, Tucson, Arizona.
• Freedom RV, Marana, Ariz.
• Hub City RV, Gord Bragg, Lantzville, British Columbia.
• Humphrey RV, Brad Humphrey, Grand Junction, Colo.
• Railside Sports & Marine, Jason Johnstone, Dreyden, Ontario.
• Rex & Sons RV, Rex Creech, Hampstead, N.C.
• Roulettes A.S. Levesque, Andre Levesque, Saguenay, Quebec.
"The strength of the ROUTE 66 RV Network is definitely in the sum of it's parts," said Dave Francis, ROUTE 66 partner. "As stand-alone dealerships, each member of the network team is well-respected in their market area for their unwavering attention to delivering excellent customer service. When traveling customers discover that they actually do experience the same high level of service at any of the other 155-plus locations they visit."
Comments from dealers included:
• Brad Humphrey, owner of one of the network's newest member dealerships, stated, "Located in Grand Junction on the western slope of the Rockies we have many traveling RVers pull into our dealership with a service concern either after coming through the mountains from the east or heading into the mountains from the west. Needless to say, service bay availability is at a premium. As a ROUTE 66 dealer we'll prioritize those travelers who are customers of a network dealership because we know they'll all do the same for our customers."
• New dealer Devin Murphy offered, "RVing is a year-round activity here in Arizona. In fact, with the snowbird population that comes in from the northern U.S. states and Canada in the winter months, our service business never seems to slow down. Now that Freedom has joined ROUTE 66 we see ourselves on a team with the best dealers in North America who are ready and willing to serve each other's customers to ensure they are the most satisfied RVers in the industry."
"While there are certainly individual financial benefits for each network dealership through our 40-plus dealer programs, we look for dealers who are willing to adopt a network 'We' mindset alongside their Independent 'Me'" said Merrill. "Those that internalize the 'We,' realizing they're stronger together, than they are apart, ultimately realize greater gain being a member of ROUTE 66."
ROUTE 66 Grows Dealer Network Over Past Year

The ROUTE 66 RV Network, one of North America's largest independent dealer network, experienced strong growth in the last 12 months, according to a press release.
"2013 was a very good year for the network and our member dealers," said Dave Francis, a ROUTE 66 partner. "Not only did our dealers enjoy a healthy bounce in sales, but the network 's footprint of dealerships grew and the ROUTE 66 brand continues to gain value in the eyes of the RVing community."
Aside from the first 10 Canadian locations that joined and were announced in January, 2013, ROUTE 66 has added 12 new locations in the last 12 months. This increase continues to strengthen the ROUTE 66's ability to serve RV customers as they travel the highways of North America.
The latest dealership additions include:
• B&R Camper Sales – The Fisher Family – Theodore, Ala.
• Cold Springs RV Center – Scott Silva – Weare, N.H.
• Dreamchasers RV of Burlington – Raymond Goda – Burlington, Wash.
• George M. Sutton RV – George & Martha Sutton – Eugene, Ore.
• McGovern's RV & Marine – Dwain & Val McGovern – Grande Prairie, Alberta.
• Roulettes A.S. Levesque – Andre Levesque – Ste-Helenes/Trios-Rivieres, Quebec.
• Outdoor Travel – Ken & Andy Whiting – Hamilton, Ontario.
Roulettes Gilbert – Andre Levesque – Chateauguay, Quebec.
• Smith's RV Centre – Jason Johnstone – Thunder Bay, Ontario.
• Terry Frazer's RV Center – Terry Frazer – Eldridge, Iowa.
• Thunder RV – Dan & Moneta Woollard – LaGrande, Ore.
"These dealerships are all built on the same foundation that our other 150 dealerships are built on – excellent customer service, quality products and high integrity," said Rob Merrill, ROUTE 66 partner. "These are the qualities that not only set our dealers apart from the pack, but also define the ROUTE 66 RV Network."
A couple of key initiatives that were launched this past year created two new branded programs, the ROUTE 66 RV Club and ROUTE 66 Roadside/Tech24.
Steve Francis, in his unique position of being both a ROUTE 66 dealer and network partner, noted, "When my dealership sells an RV, the customer is always very interested in how we are going to support them after the sale. Our network of dealers along with RV Club and Roadside/Tech allow us to offer them peace of mind, as well as money-saving benefits at KOA campgrounds, hotels, golf courses and other RV travel-related services. The very best part is that these customer benefits are unique to my dealership as a ROUTE 66 dealer."
Since its formation in 2003, ROUTE 66 now sells nearly 40,000 units per year, has over 1,200 service bays/techs, and offers 41 custom programs that will positively impact a dealership's bottom line in the areas of financing, insurance, service contracts and Internet services or parts. The ROUTE 66 RV Network, located in Overland Park, Kan., is comprised of over 155 full-service independent RV dealership locations in 42 states and provinces coast-to-coast.
RV Dealers, Partners Gather for Route 66 Rally
September 20, 2013 by RVBusiness · Leave a Comment
The Route 66 RV Network drew 235 dealers and partners to its 10th Annual Rally in San Antonio, Texas, Sept. 4-6. With nearly 155 locations in the United States and Canada, Route 66 has "grown well beyond the founding partners expectations," according to a press release.
"In 2003, while laying the foundation for the network, we talked about how cool it would be to one day have 66 locations across the country," said Route 66 partner Steve Francis. "Quite honestly, in those first couple of years the network grew so fast that no one even noticed when we blew by bringing on dealer No. 66."
Partner Dave Francis noted, "The rally has evolved over the years into what feels like a large family reunion. These relationships between dealers, partners and the network's management team are in large part why the network has enjoyed so much success. There's a true sense of unity and partnership. In fact, many of the partners who attend the rally will say they really enjoy coming to this event and is one of the best and most productive marketing events they attend every year."
With 34 network partners and the lion's share of the network's dealer principals from both the U.S and Canada present, the this year's rally continued to "strengthen the ties that bind the network together," according to partner Rob Merrill.
"While the what's and how's of the network have kept pace with our evolving industry over the last 10 years, our why's have not changed," said Merrill. "The network's original vision and consumer promise of 'Wherever the Road Takes You … You Can Count on Us' remains the same. We continue to be a network of best-of-class dealers and partners focused of ensuring our customers enjoy the best RVing experience possible."
During the gathering, Jim Rogers, CEO of Kampgrounds of America Inc. (KOA), addressed the entire group in the rally's opening session, highlighting KOA's partnership with Route 66. "We couldn't be more excited about our growing relationship with the Route 66 RV Network," said Rogers. "As local Route 66 dealerships and KOA campgrounds begin working together, campers will quickly experience the benefits of these two brands aligned."
In addition, several ROUTE 66 dealer principals shared their perspectives of being members of ROUTE 66, including:
• Randy Ketelsen, Ketelsen Campers, Wheat Ridge, Colo., stated, "It's the best of the best … people who in their hearts have their customer's best interest first. That's the people I want my dealership to associate with."
• Sylvia Thistle-Miller, Triangle RV, Sidney, British Columbia, said, "A lot of our customers go south, so being a part of a North American network with dealers who have similar business operations and ethics is really important and a huge bonus."
• "We work better as a team. We're all in this together," saud John Meyer, Apache Village RV, Hazelwood, Mo.
• Randy Biles, Pikes Peak Traveland, Colorado Springs, Colo., noted, "Looking at the network dealer list, everyone of them is top notch. I'm not sure why any customer-focused dealer wouldn't want to be a part of Route 66?"
Strengthening the Route 66 consumer brand and the many associated products continues to be a major focus for Route 66. Current members programs include: RV Club, Roadside/Tech24, Classic Coverage Extended Service Agreements, Certified Pre-owned RVs, Parts 66 Protection and RV Smart Sites.
"Looking ahead at the next 10 years, Route 66 is fully committed to continue growing our footprint of quality dealers throughout North America, strengthening our programs and relationships with our current and new supplier partners and ensuring our dealers' customers are the most satisfied RVers on the road," says Dave Francis. "We know that as a network we're only as good as the company we keep, and we've been very blessed with a great team of dealers and partners."

ROUTE 66 Partners With Canadian Distributor
March 7, 2013 by RVBusiness · Leave a Comment
The ROUTE 66 RV Network in Canada has agreed to partner with Danzy Distributors/Robert Thibert Inc. in Mercier, Quebec, to offer its growing team of RV dealerships a group buying program for parts and accessories.
"We couldn't be more pleased to announce this new partnership with Danzy Distributors. Being our first in a number of Canadian partnerships we intend to forge, we were very impressed with the quality and professionalism of their management team," said Dave Francis, ROUTE 66 partner. "After carefully evaluating our options, we concluded that Danzy's nationwide sales and distribution system was extremely well suited to meet the current and future needs of our ROUTE 66 Canadian dealers."
Marc Yvan Loiselle, sales director of Danzy's RV division, noted, "We are proud and honored to be a partner with an organization like the ROUTE 66 RV Network. Through this relationship-building process we have learned that they share our same values and we are certain that both companies and all of their Canadian ROUTE 66 dealers will benefit greatly from this association."
Francis said the partnership agreement goes into effect immediately and all ROUTE 66 dealership parts managers will continue to maintain their current Danzy sales representative relationship. Danzy will also participate in the 10th Annual ROUTE 66 Rally scheduled this fall in Texas.
Danzy is one of Canada's largest RV parts and accessories distributors with sales and distribution warehouses coast-to-coast. The ROUTE 66 RV Network is North America's largest network of independent RV dealerships with nearly 150 locations in 44 states and provinces
ROUTE 66 Network Adding Canadian Retailers
November 21, 2012 by RVBusiness · Leave a Comment
Partners from The ROUTE 66 RV Network held a meeting last week in Thunder Bay, Ontario, with a team of Canadian dealerships to finalize the formation and launch of the ROUTE 66 RV Network in Canada.
"This is the network's latest step in delivering on our consumer promise that 'Wherever the Road Takes You … You Can Count on Us,'" said Rob Merrill, ROUTE 66 partner, in a press release. "Given the considerable amount of travel between Canada and the U.S., this move will ensure any ROUTE 66 customer who crosses the border will always have a friend they can count on."
Two Canadian dealers will be taking lead roles in helping establish and grow ROUTE 66 in Canada – Sylvia Thistle-Miller, owner of Triangle RV Centre in Sidney, British Columbia, and Ken Friedenberg, general manager of Arrkann Trailer & RV Centre in Edmonton, Alberta. According to ROUTE 66, they have identified around 10 other dealers from across Canada who have expressed an interest to joining ROUTE 66 RV Network of Canada.
"Like the formation of the U.S. network in 2004, these charter dealers will be very instrumental in the direction and growth of ROUTE 66 across Canada," said Dave Francis, partner at ROUTE 66. "We will work closely with them to define any Canada specific programs, as well as integrate the group with our roughly 140 U.S. ROUTE 66 dealer locations."
Thistle-Miller of Triangle RV, 2012 British Columbia Dealer of the Year, said, "We're excited about this opportunity to lock arms with ROUTE 66 in the states. It is not only a terrific opportunity for our dealership but it offers an unparalleled value to our traveling Canadian customers in terms of RV service and camping at KOA."
Friedenberg added, "As far as I know, this is the first time in the RV industry that dealers have reached across the border to work together and serve one another's traveling customers. It will not only benefit our dealership but also offer our customers great security and peace of mind when they RV in both the United States and Canada."
Additional dealers will be added to the ROUTE 66 RV Network in Canada with the recommendation from these charter dealers and other member dealers. Each dealership's territory will be clearly defined to ensure every dealership enjoys market exclusivity in offering the network's dealer and consumer program benefits in the U.S. and Canada.
ROUTE 66 RV is planning to have an informational meeting in Louisville, Ky., during next week's National RV Trade Show in Louisville, Ky., for those Canadian dealers interested in learning more about ROUTE 66 RV Network – Canada. For more information regarding the time and location of the meeting contact Merrill at (913) 908-3066 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Ferkey Receives ROUTE 66 Larry Coker Award
September 25, 2012 by RVBusiness · Leave a Comment
The ROUTE 66 RV Network presented Mark 'Mick' Ferkey, owner of Greeneway RV Sales & Service in Wisconsin Rapids, Wis., with the 4th Annual Larry Coker Commitment Award at its recent 2012 rally held in Peachtree City, Ga.
According to a press release, the annual award is named in memory of Larry Coker, a long-time RV industry colleague and ROUTE 66 employee who unexpectedly passed away in February, 2009. "Larry was committed to making the vision of the network a reality," said Rob Merrill, partner in ROUTE 66. "His faith, sense of humor, optimism, humility and dedication were evident to everyone he met."
The Larry Coker Commitment Award is given to the ROUTE 66 RV Network dealer who best reflects "Coker's total commitment to building the ROUTE 66 brand." ROUTE 66 partner Dave Francis noted, "Greenway has been a member of the network for over six years and Mick, along with his entire team, deeply embrace what it means to be a ROUTE 66 dealer. Not only is that evident in the dealership's culture and participation, but during a recent visit to the dealership I noticed as I stood in one place that I could count 28 ROUTE 66 shield logos in their parts store and showroom alone."
Ferkey expressed his gratitude for the award, stating, "I am honored to be a ROUTE 66 dealer and humbled to receive this prestigious award. Larry was passionate about ROUTE 66 and the values it stands for. I am proud to be among dealers who share my values. While I certainly see my employees as family, I also view the people of ROUTE 66 as an extension of my family."
In addition to the dealership recognition that this award delivers to the recipient, it also donates the dealership's total annual network membership fee to a college education fund in their name to support Coker's daughter who is currently a college freshman.
As a further reflection of Ferkey's commitment to the ROUTE 66 family, after learning Stephanie Notter, a ROUTE 66 employee, had unexpectedly lost her husband, Rick, to a heart attack, he was moved to launch a fund to help her finish restoring a 1969 Firebird that they were working on.

'Route 66 Rally' a Hit; New Initiatives Introduced
September 14, 2012 by RVBusiness · Leave a Comment
The ROUTE 66 RV Network recently completed its 9th Annual Rally in Peachtree City, Ga., with network dealers and partners touting the gathering as "the best rally yet," according to a press release.
Overland Park, Kan.-based ROUTE 66 reported that attendance at the Wyndham Peachtree Conference Center was over 200 strong, representing nearly 90% of the network's dealerships and 30 vendor partners.
"Our rallies are designed to deliver good golf, good food and a great relationship-building opportunity for our dealer management teams and our partners," said Rob Merrill, partner in the ROUTE 66 RV Network. "And this year you could sense a unity and commitment to the team like no other past rally."
While many new programs and initiatives were launched during the Sept. 10-12 meeting, the major announcement was the partnership with Kampgrounds of America Inc. (KOA), as previously reported on RVBUSINESS.com.
Dave Francis, ROUTE 66 partner, noted, "Suffice it to say, you'll be seeing the classic ROUTE 66 shield and famous yellow KOA logo together quite a bit in the months and years to come. When you pull the best and largest campground network together with the best and largest RV dealer network like we've done, you can't help but positively impact an RVer's overall experience and satisfaction."
Lorne Armer, KOA's vice president for brand development, attended the rally and addressed the dealers shortly after the formal announcement. "This partnership is a step in the natural evolution KOA has seen occur in camping over the last 50 years," Armer said. "KOA and ROUTE 66 are always looking for new ways to evolve the industry forward to better meet the needs and serve today's camper. Quite honestly, our challenge moving forward will be to determine what are the best of the great ideas on the table and focus our efforts there."
Another major topic of conversation focused on the Internet side of a dealership's operation. After two-plus years of intensive web development based on dealer input and fine-tuning, ROUTE 66 detailed the performance of its "RV SmartSites" web platform including visits, leads and sales generated.
Steve Francis, ROUTE 66 partner and RV dealer who has led the development of this proprietary platform, stated, "RVSS is doing exactly what is was designed to do for our network dealers who are currently on the platform. Nearly every critical analytic you track and evaluate is up at least 50% over last year's numbers and still climbing."
Other announcements during the rally related to the network's expanding brand promise of "Wherever the road takes you … you can count on us" by introducing an enhanced ROUTE 66 RV Club and new Roadside/Tech24 program. Dealers were also offered a way to not only continue to increase their dealership's program rebates but also maintain their participation as a branded ROUTE 66 dealer with no annual membership fee.
"The unanimous sense from this year's rally was overwhelmingly positive," said Merrill. "Everyone left Georgia with high expectations and an enthusiastic charge to make 2013 our best ever."
The ROUTE 66 RV Network currently includes 140 dealer locations in 41 states. For additional information contact Merrill at (913) 317-6678.

A slate of new programs and initiatives will be rolled out to an anticipated record attendance during the 9th Annual Route 66 Rally, which opens this evening (Sept. 10) at the Wyndham Peachtree Conference Center just south of Atlanta.

Major appliances are the cornerstones of modern life. Without these trusty devices, people would be reduced to washing their clothes by hand and cooking meals over an open fire.
It's no wonder that a broken appliance can amount to a pretty big problem in most households, and the question of whether to repair or replace these devices can even create a lot of anxiety.
Learn the average annual maintenance cost for each major home appliance and how that compares to replacement cost.
When it comes to repairing appliances, every device eventually reaches a point of diminishing returns. If it's cheaper to fix an appliance than replace it, the smart money is usually on the fix. However, it doesn't make sense to fix a device that is likely to break down again in the near future or become technologically obsolete.
Considerations for appliance repair vs. replace
The age of an appliance needs to be considered when deciding whether to repair or replace. Most appliances have an average life cycle and once an appliance passes that point, it's usually a good idea to replace. Antiques and some high-end appliances are the exceptions to the rule, as they may be extremely expensive to replace.
Determine if your appliance is under warranty because you might be able to have it repaired at a reduced rate or free of charge. Warranties are important because replacement parts are expensive and can even cost more than the cost of purchasing a new appliance. Make sure your warranty is covered by a factory-authorized appliance repair shop.
Appliance repair professionals say when the price of the repair totals more than half the cost to purchase a new appliance, you're better off replacing the appliance.
Time to repair appliance
- Appliance is under warranty
- Appliance is an antique that would be difficult to replace
- The repairs are minor and will extend the life of the appliance for several years
Time to replace appliance
- Appliance is not under warranty
- The repairs are extensive and add up to more than half of the product's original cost
- Appliance is technologically obsolete

Written Answers - National Debt.
Wednesday, 13 May 2009
Dáil Eireann Debate
156. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Finance the expected national debt at the end of 2009; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19289/09]
Minister for Finance (Deputy Brian Lenihan): I am advised by the National Treasury Management Agency that, in line with the Exchequer Borrowing Requirement for 2009 of some €20 billion as set out in the Supplementary Budget, the National Debt will increase to some €71 billion by end 2009. This equates to a General Government Debt ratio at end 2009 of 59% of GDP. The General Government Debt measure does not allow for the offsetting of cash [592]balances or other assets such as the National Pensions Reserve Fund which stand at about 20% of GDP.
Although the debt level will rise over the coming years, it is rising from a low base and it should be borne in mind that Ireland's General Government Debt ratio at end 2009 will still be below the euro area average, which the EU Commission has forecast will be 77.7% in 2009.

Suddenly, James Watson's name is no longer listed on the Seed Team.
Power blogging. Don't let it go to your head.
Like anything's going to my head today. But this might just keep me from crawling under my desk and refusing to come out.
Oh where this went was no where near my head. Powah is Teh Sexay!
Stephanie, I'm sorry to hear you're not having the best of days (FWIW, mine isn't going swimmingly either). Is there anything I can do to help? Some custom … ahem … adult oriented prose perhaps? A joke? A kick in somebody's shin? lolcat?
Janie, any of the above–except the kick–would be a welcome distraction. The kick would have to be directed at my shins, unfortunately. I made a tiny error that is making lots of stir and work for other people, so I'm already kicking myself.
I'm at gmail (firstname.lastname), or I can check your site later if you find yourself particularly inspired. Thanks, and I hope your day gets better quickly.
Greg, now that you have that power, don't forget about us little people.
Maybe it was the very polite e-mail I sent them yesterday?

Anne, it certainly didn't hurt.

Garden Reach, Navy to ink MoU for warships
Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers Limited (GRSE) will soon be signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Navy for a warships project, an official said here Friday.
"These off-shore patrol vessels made by GRSE for the Navy will tremendously increase business opportunities in the eastern region, especially in West Bengal. GRSE will require more vendors and industry partners to meet the requirements," said GRSE Chairman and Managing Director Rear Admiral (Retd) A.K. Verma.
Participating in a Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) organised conference on vendor meet on defence, Verma also said negotiations with the Philippines government for a big project are on.
"I hope it will fructify very soon," said Verma, adding GRSE's turnover would jump to "Rs.3,000 crore in the next five years".
Verma said GRSE is also negotiating with a few other countries.
"But this is not going to be smooth sailing because we are competing with some formidable European countries. We must work hard to keep our bidding low," he said.
Rear Admiral Sekhar Mittal, Additional DGQA, Directorate of Quality Assurance (Naval), Indian Navy, said: "India's attractiveness as a potential defence production hub is rising steadily, for both domestic and global players.
"This is a huge opportunity for big players as well as micro small and medium enterprises. Big investors from across the world are increasingly turning their focus on India," said Mittal.

March 15, 2013
By Stuart M. Butler, Ph.D.
Note: This article first appeared March 15, 2013 in Spotlight on Poverty and Opportunity.
A recent YouTube video called "Wealth Inequality in America" has received millions of views and a number of responses from across the ideological spectrum. Created by "Politizane," this video was inspired by a study by economists Dan Ariely at Duke University and Michael L. Norton at Harvard University. Spotlight asked two commentators to weigh in on the viral video. Following is Stuart Butler's response.
Eye-popping charts highlighting wealth differences get our attention, but they can lead us to overlook our real economic opportunity problems. Even if we were to aggressively redistribute wealth in America, before long, the gap would start widening again. Rich people keep saving and reinvesting, and get wealthier as a result. But, unlike previous generations or their peers in other countries, low-income Americans don't save, causing them to become relatively poorer.
Some would say it's simply because they don't have any money—but it is not that simple. The savings habit remains very strong among certain groups, such as Asian Americans, but it has virtually vanished among others. And while the most poor have nothing left after paying for basic necessities, it's not true that saving is less possible today for low-income households than it was in the past.
Consider this—a 2008 study by the Commission on Thrift found that American households with incomes below $12,400 actually put aside an average of $645 each year for the future, but they do it in the form of lottery tickets. Saving that money, rather than throwing it away on Powerball, means a family could accumulate almost $90,000 over a working life. If that were the common pattern, it would have a big impact on wealth inequality.
The collapse of the savings culture in low-income communities is corrosive. It undermines wealth accumulation and economic mobility.
Saving has been replaced, unfortunately, by the culture of the lottery ticket and the payday lender. There are now more payday lenders than McDonald's franchises in four of our five most populous states.
There are a number of things we can do to fix this.
First, we need to recognize that building a ladder of upward mobility involves a number of building blocks, including strengthening family and other social institutions, structurally reforming our K-12 system, and fostering savings. As New York Times columnist David Brooks has explained, the opportunity and wealth gap has many cultural causes.
Fortunately, several groups and initiatives are charting out ways to increase wealth accumulation in poorer neighborhoods. For instance, the Family Independence Initiative innovatively uses data sharing to spur the inclination to save. EARN in San Francisco combines teaching financial literacy and matched savings approaches to boost saving.
Second, we need to employ creative solutions. For example, other effective strategies have involved turning the lottery player's gambling instinct into a wealth-creation instinct through "prize-linked savings." Save to Win pools the interest that would be paid through credit union accounts and offers it instead as prizes to account holders. The result: big increases in savings by low-income households and other previous non-savers. The innovative social entrepreneurs at SaveUp use a sweepstake model to strengthen the desire to save and reduce debt.
Rebuilding the fundamental process of wealth accumulation in low-income neighborhoods will be a long process, but that is the way to decisively change the long-term pattern of wealth in America. Making Warren Buffet a bit less rich is not going to do so.

The Hisense Chromebook offers just enough power and comfort for far less money than the competition.
You can dive into the various subcategories here for detailed suggestions for every need and budget, but on this page, we present the current laptops that are our personal favorites, because of style, power, value, or just because we like them.
Even if you don't expect much from your toaster, you can do better than this.
From the Cheapskate: This powerful second-gen Chromebook features a 1080p display, 4GB of RAM and impressive speakers.
This high-design Chrome OS system can cost as much as a premium laptop, and takes aim at small businesses and big IT departments.
A Chromebook that manages to add hybrid features without driving up the price, the Asus Flip C100 trades speed for long battery life.
Chrome OS struggles with the delineation between apps and Web sites, even though they are fast growing together. Great for students and casual home use, the day is coming when it'll be competitive, but it's not yet a replacement for a more mature OS.
This 11-inch laptop, running Chrome OS, is targeted at schools.
Toshiba enters the growing Chromebook market with the first 13-inch model. It's a great size for switching between travel and home/office use and feels comfortable to type on, but other Chromebooks offer more features for the same price.
With solid performance and battery life and a big 15.6-inch display, this laptop is made for those who want to browse big.
If your one gripe about Chromebooks is the small screen sizes, the Acer Chromebook 15 is the solution and it's a very nice solution at that.

User Rating
"This edition greatly enriches the reader's appreciation of Robinson Crusoe both as a classic that transcends its historical origins and as a text that reflects a specific historical context. In each role, the novel can be viewed from many perspectives, ranging from those embodied in other writings by Defoe and his contemporaries to later ideas about psychology, economics, religion, and post-colonialism, and the introduction and appendices give the reader access to an extraordinarily copious array of these perspectives. The introduction, moreover, goes well beyond compiling viewpoints: while elegantly marshaling information, Evan R. Davis also contests received opinion and offers fresh insights. This is an extremely useful edition for students, general readers, and even those already well-acquainted with Defoe."—Oscar Kenshur

|The Game Story:
|The Hanover College men's lacrosse squad closed the home portion of its schedule with a 15-5 victory against Elmhurst College (Ill.). The Midwest Lacrosse Conference tilt was played Saturday, April 20, at L.S. Ayres Field.
Sophomore attacker Nick Hermes (Grayslake, Ill.) scored five goals, while sophomore attacker Matt Weber (Centerville, Ohio) and sophomore midfielder Luke Karnick (Indianapolis, Ind.) added three apiece for Hanover, now 4-9 overall and 3-5 in the MLC.
The Panthers, fueled by three goals in a two-minute span, jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the first quarter. Hermes netted two of his goals in the first six minutes of action.
Junior attacker Chris Baney (Lexington, Ky.) scored in the opening minute of the second frame and Hanover eventually stretched the margin to 9-0 at halftime.
The lead increased to 10-0 after Weber scored in the first minute of the third period. Elmhurst (2-8; 1-6 MLC) rallied with four of the next five goals to climb within 11-4 late in the stanza.
Baney scored with 8.5 seconds left in the third quarter and Karnick, who also had a career-high four assists, netted his third goal early in the fourth period to boost the Panthers' cushion to 13-4.
Hermes scored twice in the five final minutes to seal the win.
Hanover converted 11-of-13 clears and earned 21-of-24 face-offs.
Sophomore midfielder Tim Gruber (Cincinnati, Ohio) won 18-of-21 face-offs and led the Panthers with a team-season-high 10 ground balls.
Hanover posted a 56-19 advantage in shots, including 15 by Karnick and 11 from Weber.

Carol Saunders: Celebrity Bartender Tiki Bash helps American Cancer Society
It was a breezy, warm day Aug. 15 when a huge group of local residents gathered on the picturesque Jupiter Inlet at Jim Burg's Square Grouper for the "Celebrity Bartender Tiki Bash" to benefit the American Cancer Society.
Burg, 44, was chairman and host of the event that was also designed to promote his upcoming run for the New York Marathon in November, with co-host and girlfriend Courtney Murphy, 27, and her mother Patricia Murphy, 62, who recently gave up smoking. The trio trains every day for the event and will be running for the American Cancer Society of the Northern Palm Beaches. Visit www.ACSDetermination.org. or 1-800-277-2345.
Celebrity bartenders were actively competing to raise the most money for the ACS. They included Rob Thomson of Waterfront Properties, Jenni Orr, trainer of BGI Fitness, Linda Robb, Tri Running Sports, Joann Stearns of Joann Stearns Hair Salon, Wesley Oldham of Supporting Our Nation's Wounded Warriors (a Renewal Coalition to assist wounded service members and their families), Phil Williams of Phil Fit Trainer, Jimmy Burg of the Square Grouper and Courtney Murphy, a personal trainer.
Wonderful appetizers were provided by Evo Italian of Tequesta, and Big Vince and the Phat Cats played great rockin blues.
For more information, call the Square Grouper, located at 1111 Love St., Jupiter, at 561-575-0252, www.squaregrouper.net, or the ACS at 561-650-0146.

Throughout the years the wardrobe evolved and things such as a hanging space were added to the designs in the hope that clothing could be kept mainly crease free. Wardrobes are usually made from wood as it has very sturdy strength properties but can be designed and crafted in many different styles.
In the earlier stages of wardrobe history, they were known to be made from more expensive woods such as oak and mahogany and often included extremely ornate wood carvings that added to their fanciness! Nowadays, you can still purchase oak and mahogany wardrobes but other cheaper woods are also now used to make this amazing piece of furniture in order to suit all pockets. Pine wardrobes in particular are now very popular!
Due to weight and bulkiness (and the fact that we like to make life easier for our customers), all wardrobes purchased from Time4sleep will be delivered by our premium two man carrier who will take the items to the room of your choice. For easy access, most of our wardrobes will arrive either flat packed or in two pieces in order to make sure you can get it to the room of choice!

"I can remember holding Michael when I was 27 and thinking, 'What will ever become of my baby?'" Nancy Lewis said.
Her son was born with cerebral palsy, and his doctor's prognosis was less than positive.
"He's 40 now, and he has accomplished more in his 40 years than many people have in their lifetime," she said.
"He's done it all," Michael's father, Derek, said.
"We just got back from Bali, where monkeys climbed all over him. He swam with dolphins in Hawaii, parasailed, snow skied — we have not allowed any moss to grow under his feet."

Officials with the Florida Dept. of Transportation and the Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority on May 25 announced an agreement to move forward with construction of the Wekiva Parkway, a 27-mile-long toll road estimated to cost $1.8 billion. The parkway would provide the last component of a beltway around the Orlando metro. The long-planned project has languished due to a lack of available funds. OOCEA and Florida's Turnpike Enterprise, a division of FDOT, are still determining their respective commitments to the project but announced September 2011 as a goal for starting design work. Construction could start by late 2012 and is expected to take "at least seven years" to complete.

|It is a climb well worth doing! Great moves on the crux! Can seem a bit runout (I didn't think so), but the crux is well bolted and the run out parts can be protected. Good hand jammin' before the bolts, great place for pro if needed. Easy to top rope from top of Grins. DO IT!

|Easy to toprope, but the long "runout" up to the first bolt is all really easy (5.6 maybe?), and protectable with gear. I'm pretty certain that this is no harder than 10c, the most difficult moves are low near the first two bolts. Still fun, if you're at Happy Hour, throw a rope on it and enjoy.

(Dec 14, 2010) On December 8, 2010, the main opposition party in the Republic of China (Taiwan), the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), announced that it will sue four members of the ruling party, the Kuomintang (Nationalists, or KMT), for slander, following an election eve shooting on November 26 at a KMT rally. The DPP alleges that the KMT was motivated by a desire to cause DPP candidates to lose votes. DPP spokesman Tsai Chi-chang has claimed that KMT leaders tried to make the public believe the shooting of KMT member Sean Lien was linked to the DPP. One such statement, from KMT legislator Wu Yu-sheng, asked voters to "use your ballots to reject violence," implying that the DPP was involved in the violence. (Yeh Su-ping, et al., DPP to Sue Four KMT Lawmakers on Charges of Breaking Election Law, FOCUS TAIWAN NEWS CHANNEL (Dec. 12, 2010), http://focustaiwan.tw/ShowNews/WebNews_Detail.aspx?Type=aALL&ID=2010
12080039 [a Central News Agency report].)
Tsai commented that Wu's statement violated the criminal law on public insult and defamation, as well as election regulations. Speaking on behalf of the KMT, Su Jun-pin said his party's statements after the shooting were a call for calmness and that it had restrained members from speculating on the incident. (Id.) Su added that the "DPP has changed its statements so often that no one knows what its position is regarding the shooting incident," and went on to claim that the KMT did much more than the opposition to make sure the shooting incident did not have an impact on the election.
