The Anglican Mission in the Americas (AMiA) or The Anglican Mission (AM) is a self-governing church inheriting its doctrine and form of worship from the Episcopal Church in the United States (TEC) and Anglican Church of Canada with members and churchmen on a socially conservative mark on the liberal–fundamentalist spectrum of interpretation of the Bible. Among its affiliates is the Anglican Church in North America since their inception on June 2009, initially as a full member, changing its status to ministry partner in 2010. In 2012, the AM sought to clarify the clear intent of its founding by officially recognizing themselves as a "Society of Mission and Apostolic Works". The AM sought oversight from other Anglican Communion provinces in a desire to expand its mission partnerships.[1]
It has as its view an authentic, unreformed mission including belief in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church while rejecting what is in its view a modern papal-led hierarchy, apocryphal sacraments and post-apostolic, papal canonical law and equally the adoption of inconsistently modern doctrines in the post-16th century sects of Protestant Christianity. The Anglican Mission was officially established in July 2000 in Amsterdam, Netherlands, under the primatial oversight of the primates of Rwanda and South East Asia.
The Anglican Mission has been led since late 2013 by Bishop Philip Jones who succeeded Bishop Chuck Murphy after 14 years.[2][3] The Mission Center for the AM is in Dallas, TX.
AMiA, or AM, was formed in response to increased theological liberalism in the Episcopal Church in the United States (TEC) and the Anglican Church of Canada (ACC), the North American branches of the Anglican Communion.[citation needed]
The origin of the Anglican Mission was the First Promise Movement.[4] In 1997, 30 priests, led by Chuck Murphy, released a document called The First Promise which "declared the authority of the Episcopal Church to be 'fundamentally impaired' because they no longer upheld the 'truth of the gospel'".[5] Concerned about the crisis in faith and leadership that fostered continued controversy in the Anglican Communion, Archbishops Emmanuel Kolini of Rwanda and Moses Tay of South East Asia believed the time had come for Missionary Bishops to safeguard the faith in North America and consecrated Chuck Murphy and John Rodgers as bishops at St. Andrew's Cathedral, Singapore, on January 29, 2000. The Anglican Mission was officially established later that year in July in Amsterdam, Netherlands under the Primatial Oversight of the Primates of Rwanda and South East Asia. St. Andrews Church of Little Rock, Arkansas, became the first in North America to come under the oversight of the Global South provinces.[6]
In January 2005, the Anglican Coalition in Canada came under the AMiA's oversight. The following year the Mission was restructured as the Anglican Mission in the Americas. This new structure included within it the AMiA, ACiC, and the ACiA.
The Anglican Mission was a founding member of the Common Cause Partnership and of the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA). The Anglican Mission's relationship with the Anglican Church in North America was defined by protocol between the AM, the Province of Rwanda, and the ACNA.[7] On May 18, 2010, however, it was announced that the AM would seek "ministry partner" status with the ACNA and remain in full mission partner status with the Province of Rwanda.[8]
The Anglican Mission remained under the oversight of the Church of the Province of Rwanda, a member church of the Anglican Communion, and as a ministry partner of the ACNA through 2011. On December 5, 2011 Bishop Murphy and most of the bishops of the AM announced to the Province of Rwanda that the Anglican Mission would shortly be seeking ministry partnerships that extended beyond the Province of Rwanda. Following this announcement, the Rwandan church decided to form a separate group in the USA that remained in affiliation with the Province of Rwanda through a new jurisdiction known as PEARUSA. Up to that point, all clergy from the AM had been ordained under the supervision of the Archbishop of Rwanda, the Archbishop of South East Asia, and other participating Anglican Primates and Rwandan bishops. Clergy in the AM were and are indigenous - they receive their ordination from primates and bishops in full communion with the Anglican Church but are from the area in which mission work is to take place and are under the authority of the Apostolic Vicar of the Anglican Mission. Many of the original bishops and priests of the AM were drawn from North America and were often former TEC or ACC priests.
The AMiA planted 268 churches during his first eleven years of existence, according to Bishop Chuck Murphy final address on 27 February 2013, but lost two thirds of them to other jurisdictions after their severe of relations with the Anglican Church of Rwanda, in December 2011. The number of remaining churches, according to him, was around 69. He expressed his belief that the AMiA should continue his work as a missionary society in North America.[9]
The number of AMiA churches currently given is 44, in 18 American states and 3 Canadian provinces.[10]
The Anglican Mission is a technically a public religious association or society in the Church. It is structured at various levels: local, regional, national and international. Each one has its own juridical standing within the Church based upon common norms of constitution, statutes and oversight.
The Anglican Mission receives and accepts oversight, accountability and patronage through episcopal authority in the structure of a College of Consultors who serve as guardians and overseers, responsible for preserving the vision and direction of the Anglican Mission in accordance with the Constitution and the Norms of the Society. The College addresses, in particular, questions relating to the general orientation of the Society and in the application of the Norms and Statutes. The College of Consultors holds pastoral and episcopal patronage and oversight over the Society, within the limits of the Constitution and Statutes. Because such apostolic works under a society must have a common purpose congruent with the mission of the Church, those who are the competent ecclesiastical authority have the obligation of oversight in matters of faith and order so as to promote the common good, protect against the infringement of rights and duties and provide a venue of adjudication when necessary. This Constitution recognizes that while the local expressions of the Society may differ somewhat among its members in liturgical expression and cultural heritage, they are all entrusted to the pastoral mandate from this College of Consultors as a collegial body, and to those to whom they delegate authority. The College of Consultors holds a membership of up to seven Consultors, with a minimum of three, as voting members. This membership consists of ex officio and elected members. The inaugural membership includes the founding Archbishops /Primates of the Anglican Mission, which was established in 2000 by the Primates of South East Asia and Rwanda. There are also members who are elected by the College who may be:
- Primates of a Provincial Church
- Deans of a Provincial Church
- Archbishops of a Particular Local Church
- Diocesan Bishops of a Local Church who have engaged in ministry through concordat whom the College believes will serve the interest of the Society
- The status that the above would enjoy would be determined by the College of Consultors as determined by the needs for governance at the time of appointment.
These elected members may come to pass based upon recommendations from:
- a) The Apostolic Vicar with the Conference of Missionary Bishops.
- b) Other Primates and Archbishops and Bishops who serve in ministry partnerships with the Society.
The College of Consultors are ordered as follows:
- A Rector will head the College. He will be selected by the College.
- A Vice-Rector, who shall assist the Rector and serve as chair in his stead when so delegated. He will be selected by the College.
- A Secretary, who will be elected from amongst their ranks and who may select an Assistant Secretary of non-Episcopal office to assist in that office.
The College of Consultors will elect an Apostolic Vicar who has authority over the members of the Society. The norms for election for the Apostolic Vicar are provided for in the Statutes of the Society.
- The Apostolic Vicar is an ex officio member of the College with seat and voice.
- The Apostolic Vicar possesses all ordinary jurisdictions and enjoys the usual rights, faculties, privileges and obligations of such an office. However, rather than exercising this governance in his own name, he does so with delegated authority in the place of the Consultors.
The College of Consultors holds meetings at least annually, and as needed.
- By request of a majority of the members of the College.
- As requested by the Apostolic Vicar to the members of the College.
As provided for in Chapter 2, Article 3, Section 7 of the Constitution of the Society, there shall be elected an Apostolic Vicar by the College of Consultors. The Apostolic Vicar must be a cleric of episcopal orders.
He shall hold office under and have privileges, powers, authority and duties as defined by Constitutions, Statutes and Pastoral Norms. The Apostolic Vicar is the presiding ecclesiastical authority of the Society on behalf of the College of Consultors. He has charge for the Society, and governs all spiritual, pastoral, and ecclesiastical matters of the Society, as provided for by law of this Society, and as the norms of the church make provision. As such he shall exercise all the rights and perform all the duties as delegated to him.
The Apostolic Vicar may establish an Office of the Apostolic Vicar to which he may appoint clergy and laity to serve particular ministerial and administrative functions for the Society on his behalf. The primary function of the Office of the Apostolic Vicar is to be of assistance to the Apostolic Vicar in the governance, administration and canonical norms of the Society. This assistance is offered and extended to the society's members as well. This Office may include the following:
- Provost [Chief of Staff]: The Provost is the chief assistant of the Apostolic Vicar overseeing the schedule, the appointments, and the calendar of the
Apostolic Vicar, and providing a wide variety of professional and coordinating support for his Office. Assignments are received from, carried out for, and reported to, the Apostolic Vicar as this person works in collaboration and coordination with the other members of the Office of the Apostolic Vicar.
- Rector General: The Apostolic Vicar, in consultation with the Board and the Conference of Missionary Bishops, appoints the Rector General of the Anglican Mission. The Rector General shall exercise such authority as is delegated from the Apostolic Vicar for the administration and supervision of the Anglican Mission. The Rector General is responsible for day-to-day operations, the administration of candidates for ordination and the process of church affiliation.
- The Episcopal Vicar(s): Episcopal Vicars are qualified priests or bishops appointed by the Apostolic Vicar to oversee a specific region or work of the Society. They assist the Apostolic Vicar in the exercise of his office and represent the Apostolic Vicar with delegated responsibilities given specifically to him. Episcopal Vicars serve no longer than the expiration of the appointing Apostolic Vicar's term.
- The Canons: The Canons are appointed by the Apostolic Vicar in consultation with a jurisdictional bishop in covenant with the society. These clergy serve the Apostolic Vicar and the Society by attending to particular areas of the life and ministry of the church. These areas may include administration, pastoral planning, mission, canonical and ecclesiastical affairs, communications and worship within the life of the Society.
Within the framework of the Constitutions, Statutes, Pastoral Norms and Canons, the Apostolic Vicar with the advice and consultation of the Conference of Missionary Bishops may make decisions binding the whole Society until the next meeting of the College of Consultors, which can confirm, modify or abrogate them.
The office of the Apostolic Vicar shall become vacant when:
- He chooses to resign or retire;
- He attains the maximum age of seventy years;
- The College of Consultors, by consensus, calls for the election of a new Apostolic Vicar;
- He is found guilty of ecclesiastical charges by an ecclesiastical court and is removed from office by the College of Consultors;
- The Conference of Bishops and/or the Board makes petition to the College of Consultors showing just cause for removal, and the College acts accordingly;
- He dies.
The Apostolic Vicar convenes and chairs the Conference of Missionary Bishops, sets the agenda and presides over it. The Apostolic Vicar exercises delegated authority over the whole Society, in the cases and in the manner foreseen by canon law and the law of the Society.
The Conference of Missionary Bishops carries out its responsibility by serving the founding purpose of the Anglican Mission (Preamble, Section II). It is also responsible for applying the Constitution and Statutes of the Mission, as delegated by the Apostolic Vicar.
The members of the Conference of the Missionary Bishops have the following responsibilities based on the Ordinal and the customs of the church:
- a) To be the custodians of matters of faith and order, spiritual instructions and Church unity within the Society;
- b) To uphold the Anglican norms and traditions within the Society;
- c) To uphold and support the programs and strategies of the Society;
- d) To advise and nominate persons who meet the norms for the election of future Missionary Bishops.
The Conference of Missionary Bishops meets regularly and confers with the Apostolic Vicar on questions that concern the nature and work of the Society.
The Anglican Mission may be organized in Networks, Convocations or such other structures that will serve the founding purpose of the Anglican Mission. These structures will be defined by the Mission's purpose and strategic opportunities to implement that purpose. These structures must be approved by the Apostolic Vicar in consultation with the Missionary Bishops.
The Society, at the initiation of the Apostolic Vicar, may have as part of its Structure, a Presbyteral Council.
The Presbyteral Council serves the following functions:
- a) Provides a forum for discussion of issues of pastoral concern in the Society to the Apostolic Vicar;
- b) Aids the Conference of Missionary Bishops, the Board (see Article 10) and the Apostolic Vicar in their responsibilities by serving as a Council of Advice, so that the pastoral welfare of the people of God committed to their care may be carried forward.
The Presbyteral Council consists of:
- a) Two ordained representatives from Networks, Convocations or such other structures that will serve the founding purpose of the Anglican Mission;
- b) Two representative members of the Conference of Bishops;
- c) At large members appointed by the Apostolic Vicar, not to exceed one per time zone in each country;
- d) Ex officio members from the Office of the Apostolic Vicar.
The General Assembly is the normative elected and consultative body that brings matters related to the order of the Society to the College of Consultors. On the appointed day, the College of Consultors with the Apostolic Vicar, convene the Society in the General Assembly to exercise the powers to legislate by Constitution. This is done to ensure by their authority, the rights and privileges of the Society.
Once the Inaugural Assembly has convened, it shall be the charge of the Society to meet in Convocation known as the General Assembly. Every six years, the Society shall convene a General Assembly to reexamine the aims, characteristics and means of the Society with a view to affirm, renew or redirect its energies.
At the time of the General Assembly, the incumbent Apostolic Vicar and those in collegial ministry with him shall report and administer the routine affairs of the Society.
At least one year in advance, the Apostolic Vicar in consultation with the College of Consultors, Conference of Missionary Bishops, Board and other Members of the Society shall announce the date and place of the next General Assembly, inviting the membership to submit suggestions for the agenda.
The General Assembly shall consist of both ex officio members and delegates:
- a) Ex officio members shall be the Apostolic Vicar, Provost, the Rector General, Conference of Bishops, Episcopal Vicar(s), Canon(s) and Leaders of Networks, Convocations or such other structures. They have voice, seat and vote according to both the norms of the Constitutions.
- b) Election of delegates belongs only to active members who are engaged in apostolic works within the regions and particular ministries of the society. In the case of elected delegates to the Assembly, the numerical ratio shall be one clergy delegate (and an alternate) and one lay delegate (and alternate) per Corporate Member. Corporate Members whose average Sunday attendance exceeds 200 may add one additional clergy delegate (and an alternate) and one additional lay delegate (and an alternate) for every additional full 200 in average Sunday attendance.
- c) The General Assembly may invite to the Assembly individuals who may be either members of the Society or persons who do not belong to the Society but are knowledgeable in matters under consideration. They are present only in a consultative capacity and cannot be present in the Assembly when matters are treated that concern the internal life of the Society.
- d) Other groupings of members of the Society (such as Associate Members) are invited by the Apostolic Vicar and his Council according to the norms and needs of the Society.
Decisions of the General Assembly shall be taken according to the vote of the majority of the members of the General Assembly who have the right to vote and are present. The binding force of the decisions shall be determined by the General Assembly with endorsement from the College of Consultors.
The incumbent Apostolic Vicar, or in his absence the Rector General of the Society, shall furnish to each member of the General Assembly a report in writing of the spiritual, numerical and financial state of the Society, signed by the Apostolic Vicar and the Rector General.
There shall be established by the Apostolic Vicar in consultation with the Conference of Bishops a commission charged with the adoption and the implementation of the rules of procedure and the order of business. The rules of procedure and the order of business shall be endorsed and approved at the opening of the General Assembly.
Departments, Offices and Programs to support the Society may be established as required by the needs of the Society in carrying out its missionary purpose and work.
The membership of the Society shall be both individual and corporate composed of clerics and laity.
Clergy Members are those who:
- a) have discerned and affirmed a vocation to live out their ordained life as members of a Mission Society, who give voluntary submission to its Constitution and Statutes and seek to be licensed for ministry through a covenant with an ecclesiastical jurisdiction who seeks to engage in a collaborative ministry with the Society;
- b) by the solemn declaration annually, promise to live, abide and uphold the Constitution, Statutes, Norms, Visions and Values of the Society;
- c) have the right to attend deliberations on Society matters and participate fully in the General Assembly;
- d) give their lives, according to their state, to the mission of the Society through parochial or specialized ministries of the Society;
- e) seek to gift themselves to the work and apostolic life of the Society while submitting to authority both constitutionally and canonically.
Lay Members are those who:
- a) have discerned and affirmed a call to membership in the society through participation in a parochial or specialized ministry of the society;
- b) have pledged themselves annually to the Stewardship Principles of the Society according to ability (renewable for another one year);
- c) by the pledge, promise to live, abide and uphold the Statutes and ideals of the Society in their regional and local context;
- d) who have the right to attend deliberations of the General and Local Convocations of the Society and vote on decisions when so delegated.
Corporate Members are those:
- a) ecclesiastical communities who by discernment, discourse and vote have desired membership and affiliation as prescribed;
- b) ecclesiastical entities who expressly contribute the focus of their ministry and resources to the work of the Society;
- c) ecclesiastical entities who in their community implement the mission, vision, charism and spirituality of the Society;
- d) who delegate members to attend the Society's Assemblies and Convocations as full participants;
- e) who maintain their affiliation as Anglicans through the vocational model while supporting where possible the jurisdictional ecclesial model.
Associate Members are those:
- a) who offer prayer for the works of the Society;
- b) who assist in the mission of the Society through pastoral, spiritual, educational or financial ministries to and with the Society;
- c) who have a principal ministry in other ecclesiastical settings but seek to be attached to the vision and values of the Society.
The clergy and laity do not take vows but instead express "the bond of charity" by making an "Act of Commitment." The "bond of charity" is best described as the expression of a voluntary desire on the part of the member of the Society to be a member of the Society.
- a) For clergy this Act of Commitment is expressed in the Annual renewal of Ordination vows and the Solemn Declarations done at regional or national convocations.
- b) For laity, this Act of Commitment takes place on the parochial level at the annual gathering of the faith community when commitments for the coming year are given and celebrated.
The idea of the Mission Society is that members strive, for missional service in and for Christ's Church, lived in a spirit of humility and prayer, where obedience is offered to the Society and the local church out of fraternal love rather than through any external compulsion. A member of the Society "chooses" to live and serve his life in the fellowship that is based upon the vocation for mission.
Members of the Society seek to live in life-giving reciprocal communion with all the members of the Anglican Family. They shall endeavor to promote common initiatives or participate in them through local collaboration, ministry partnerships and concordats with other Anglican ecclesiastical entities that acknowledge and affirm the vocational missional model to spread the Gospel through evangelism, church planting and serving the cause of ecclesiastical unity.
The Members of the Society should fulfill with dedication the Mission duties to which they are called, always mindful of their relations to the local Church. They should lend their help to activities of their apostolic industries as well as to the activities existing in the jurisdictions to which they are related. In the spirit of service, they should make themselves present as a fellowship within the life of the local church where invited. They should be ready to collaborate with other ecclesiastical groups in those places and participate in the common life where possible.
The Fellowship of Sts. Columba and Augustine: Those of episcopal rank who wish individually and personally to associate with the Mission Society may do so through an Associate Membership sponsored by the College of Consultors called the Fellowship of Sts. Columba and Augustine. In this fellowship they may share in associate membership status and be called upon to share in various Episcopal ministries when circumstances allow. This fellowship is coordinated by the Vice Rector of the College of Consultors.
Since the Church of Christ has often been distressed by separations and schisms among Christians, so that the unity for which our Lord prayed is impaired and the witness to His gospel is grievously hindered, it is the duty of clergy and people of this society to do their utmost not only to avoid occasions of strife, but also to seek in penitence and brotherly charity healing of such divisions.
As a living expression of the people of God and conforming themselves to the faith and order of Christ's Church, the Society, "living in full communion with the bishops of the Church catholic seeks to engage in mutual ministry with a number of ecclesiastical jurisdictions with whom they share a common vision for the Gospel.
Upon delivery of the request, these covenants shall be given review for consent by the Apostolic Vicar and the College of Consultors within the Society as well as by the local ecclesiastical authority in the jurisdiction disposed toward this collaboration. The Rector of the College of Consultors or the Apostolic Vicar shall serve as the signatory for the Society.
This is accomplished through ecclesiastical documents now known as concordats and covenants intended to design, detail and order ministry collaboration in the initiatives promoted by the Society and the local church.
The local church that shares the vision for mission may choose to offer canonical residence to the ordained clergy who seek it. Such a clergy petition would request canonical license and residence while being appointed and released to the Society.
The clergy when licensed are bound by the Constitution and Statutes of the Society as well as giving voluntary submission to the canonical norms of the local church unless a dispensation has been otherwise granted by the ecclesiastical authority granting the license. These norms would govern the liturgical and sacramental practices on the part of the clergy so licensed.
The Society recognizes that as a general norm, a parish or congregation as an ecclesiastical entity is understood to be territorial, that is, it is to embrace the work of Christ within a particular geographical territory usually being a diocese. Yet, it has been ascertained that in the tradition of the church there have been personal or specialized parishes or ecclesiastical entities established because it has been determined that because of a unique charism (Pauline spiritual gift), liturgical rite, language or nationality, the faithful in a certain location may belong to a parish not immediately attached to the local diocesan or provincial territory.
Parishes who with their clergy seek entrance as full members of the Society may petition for direct affiliation as prescribed by the Office of the Rector General. a) These parishes and clergy are under the direction of the Office of the Apostolic Vicar who may delegate oversight to a Missionary Bishop of the Society. b) The parish follows the canonical norms and customs of the Missionary Bishop who is canonically licensed by a particular jurisdiction and has enacted a mutual ministry concordat with the Bishop, the clergy and Parish with the consent of the Apostolic Vicar. c) These parishes share fully in the common life of the regional Networks in the mission initiatives established for that region. d) These parishes as part of its concordat or covenant may share in the common life of the canonical jurisdiction with which it is in relationship through mutual ministry partnerships agreed upon by the ecclesiastical authorities of the parish, the Society and the Jurisdiction.
Status with regard to the Anglican Communion[edit]
At the time of its formation, the AM's claim that it remained part of the worldwide Anglican Communion through the Province of Rwanda was recognized by many Anglican primates, including George Carey, who was Archbishop of Canterbury (head of the Anglican Communion). The former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams followed a similar path to try to preserve unity between mostly Western and Global South Anglicans. However, the AM is not formally in communion with the current Archbishop of Canterbury due to the attempts of the Archbishop to retain unity with the Episcopal Church USA.

My car is at Devon AGAIN!!! My clutch has only 7k miles on it since a replacement in Nov 2011. This time it chewed up my flywheel and the dealer is making me pay for it which I totally disagree-if the warranted part never failed then my flywheel would be ok.
Smart USA is aware of a design flaw with 08 and early 09 models with the clutch-I should've never paid for the first repair due to this flaw. I called my caseworker because I believe it's absurd to pay for a repair that happened due to something covered that failed.
Smart needs to design the clutch differently-I don't even drive in manual. I have no control on when it shifts but yet I am being held responsible for the flaw and the way it shifts when I drive.

History of the County of Perth, 1825-1902 William Johnston, 1903
William Davidson -- The life of this pioneer, in the number and variety of the offices he has been called upon to fill, presents a somewhat multifarious aspect when we consider the qualifications necessary to a proper discharge of the varied obligations of those pursuits in which he has been engaged. Like many others of our great men who have accomplished much, he did not take up his first occupation either from a desire for it or natural adaptability to discharge its functions. He became a bushman, because he believed in the principle of doing whatever was nearest him to do. It was characteristic of him that whatever he undertook to do he did well. To this excellent feature he owes largely his success. With him there was no slipshod work, no dallying with important trusts, no leaving to others or to chance what it was his duty to perform. This thoroughness and honesty of purpose where it exists to that degree as in Mr. Davidson is fortune enough for any man. He who waits for chances and opportunities to show his powers will never be likely to find them. The men, therefore, who brave all circumstances and press manfully forward will find opportunities near their pathways in every direction., In this company he had a prominent place. A want of high education made him careful in his calculations, and so he became exact. An honest desire to coverome and advance his worldly circumstances gave strength to his character, and men will always lean on an oak rather than a willow. These qualities are eminently distinguished in this man, and to them, and not to external influences, he owes his position.
Mr William Davidson, present county clerk, was born in Monaghan, Ireland, in September, 1833. His education was such as could then be obtained in that country, which, he says, comprised the three Rs, and doubtless a fourth branch might be added--a close acquaintance with the "tawse." In this department of our old country system at that period a close companionship with this pedagogic appliance was considered a very effective means of communicating information. Of course a young aspirant after knowledge was not consulted regarding this part of his tuition, and frequent admonitions, even by the subject of this sketch, were not likely undeserved. In this seminary Master Keenan was all powerful, for good or evil. The seats were pieces of rock, and writing desks were simply a piece of board laid across the pupil's arm. Of these educational advantages he availed himself only for one year.
In 1845 his father, the late Abraham Davidson, emigrated to Canada, accompanied by his wife and six children, of whom William was second oldest. After a long voyage of nearly seven weeks they arrived in Toronto on June 9th. His father at once came on to Fullarton, settling on lot 14, concession 7, then a wilderness. Young Davidson remained in Toronto township with his uncle, who was engaged in teaching. They kept bachelor's hall, William the younger being cook. Here, for about twelve months, he resumed his acquaintance with his books, not much progress being made, his culinary duties no doubt being of so varied and interesting a character as to prevent a great acquisition of book learning. During 1846, in his thirteenth year, he rejoined his father's family in Fullarton, walking from Toronto township on foot and driving two cattle, his journey occupying five days. On his arrival, along with his brother, he entered the laborious task of clearing land. The woods were soon removed from the homestead, when contracts were effected to clear land for others.
In 1857 he married Elizabeth Cole, of Fullarton, and was now on the very threshold of that career in which he has so much distinguised himself. In 1859, at the age of 26, he was appointed township clerk. His subsequent municipal life in every department goes to prove that the choice made on that occasion was most advantageous, not only to Fullarton, but to Perth County. Hhs thoroughness and adaptability for this work led to his appointment as treasurer in 1860. He continued in office as clerk for nine years, when he resigned and was elected reeve. This position he held for eleven years, or until 1878. Meantime he became recognised as an authority on municipal law, which reputation he still retains in an increased degree. In the legislation affecting municipalities from the Act of 1850 onward, through every department, it is doubtful if any other officer in this county has a more extended or correct knowledge of the principles underlying that enactment.
For a number of years previous to 1878, when he resigned the office of reeve to become county clerk, his worth as a public man was recognized in the South Riding. At a convention of the Conservative part, to whose platform he adhered, he was in 1870 nominated as their standard-bearer for the Legislative Assembly. This honour for private reasons he declined, considering the proper discharge of his legislative functions, if elected, would interfere with those important trusts the people in Fullarton had confided to his judgment and ability. In 1860 he built a store in Carlingford, and, in conjunction with his farm, carried on a mercantile business such as suited the requirements of a country village. He was also postmaster in this little hamlet, continuing to hold that position until his removal to Mitchell in 1877. From the multifarious duties arising from his own private business on the farm, in the store, and the post office, with his other public employments, Mr Davidson at this time was a busy man. In 1869 he sold his store, but did not by any means seek to relieve himself from any of the activities in which he was engaged, as he at once accepted a general agency for the Perth Mutual Fire Insurance Co., in which capacity he rendered valuable service to the institution.
Meantime, during 1867, he resigned the office of township clerk, and in 1868 was elected reeve, with his father as deputy. This change opened a new sphere for the display of that faculty of careful manipulation in those affairs committed to his trust which has proved the mainspring of his success. At the council board, in the county council chamber, amongst the large number of representative men from every section of this county, it was but a short time till he was considered one of their most careful and best informed men. As a natural consequence, he was soon honoured with the highest position in their gift by being elected as warden. His record here is also unique in county history in being elected consecutively for 1875, 1876, 1877, and till October, 1878, when he resigned to accept the clerkship tendered him by the county council. In our municipal history no other case has ever happened where a reeve of any township has been elected warden four years consecutively. During his term of office county indebtedness to the municipal loan fund was settled. Another able man had a seat on the county board at this period, as reeve of Downie, in Hon. Thomas Ballantyne. To these two representatives, with whom were associated the warden, were assigned all negotiations in relation to this very important question. Reports regarding this affair are signed by William Davidson as chairman, and are by far the most comprehensive of any reports I have seen in connection with public business in this county. Suffice it to say that this committee finally disposed of our indebtedness to this fund in a manner satsifactory to all. For a more exhaustive explanation of this question, my readers are referred to "Municipal Notes" in another part of this work.
During that period in which he was warden another important matter affecting this county was dealt with. It will be remembered that in 1873 a bonus of $80,000 had been granted to a railway from Stratford to Wiarton. This project met with strenuous opposition from Blanshard, Fullarton, Hibbert and Downie. Towards its construction Mr. D. D. Hay had exhausted every effort in its favour, being strongly supoprted by Stratford and those municipalities lying north. The attitude of the southern townships at that time did not arifse from opposition to the scheme itself, but to their being made contributors to it, which, as far as human foresight could extend at that peirod, would be of no benefit to them. Fulminations loud and deep were launched against the by-law, and that iniquitious measure passed by Mr. Blake's Government known at the grouping system. This measure enabled a few municipalities in favour of a scheme to group other municipalities with them who would have a minority of votes, and thereby force legislation on the weaker party antagonistic to their interests. In this case it was fully carried out, forcing a large debt on the southern townships. A quarter of a century has now passed away since this event, and looking back over the whole question and its results, I am constrained to say that in the interest of all our people, it was well that Mr Hay's measure became law.
Mr Davidson, as warden, now opposed issuing debentures to the company until a sufficient guarantee was given that it would complete its contract in building the road. The company, meantime, had made a demand for these securities without such guarantees, which Mr Davidson considered, very properly, was a breach of contract. They were determined to compel compliance with their demands, and entered a suit against the county. His management of this affair on behalf of his constituents indicated great zeal and judgment, as well as an extended knowledge of municipal law. When this sruggle terminated, after three years' litigation, in which he defeated his opponents on every occasion, they at last made arrangements to carry out their original agreement. If they had accepted the position at the outset much time and useless expense would have been avoided. Three years had now elapsed since this by-law was passed, and before passing over the debentures Mr Davidson detached the coupons falling due during that period, which the company were not now entitled to receive by their conduct, thus saving to this county $14,000. When we consider this large item, and that much larger one saved in our municipal loan fund indebtedness by Mr Ballantyne and himself, this county has been relieved of a liability amounting to nearly $100,000.
Before leaving this subject, I may be permitted to say that he did not object to carrying out the provisions of the by-law, although opposed to the principle by which it was carried. As a proof of this those debentures granted to the Stratford and Port Dover road were promptly handed to that company, they having at once complied with their agreement. Throughout this whole affair Mr Davidson evinced great common sense and discretion, discharging his duties in a manner honourable to himself, and eliciting warm approval from every section of our county. During 1879 he removed to Stratford, and at the election of 1881 he was chosen a member of the board of education, being appointed secretary-treasurer at its first meeting. This position he has held ever since.
That our readers may form an idea of the work accomplished by this pioneer, and those matters he has dealt with during a busy life, we submit a statement of the various positions he has been called upon from time to time to fill. He was township clerk of Fullarton for nine years, and reeve for eleven years; warden of Perth County for four years; county clerk for twenty-four years, still retaining that position. He was postmaster in Carlingford eight years; secretary trustees S. S. No. 4 Fullarton, for seventeen years; trustee and secretary-treasurer Mitchell high school board for eight years; trustee Stratford school board for four years, and secretary-treasurer for twenty-two years, and alderman of the City of Stratford for eighteen years, for nearly all of which period he was chairman of the finance committee. He was mayor of Stratford two years; auditor British Mortgage Loan Co. for twenty-one years; trustee of the hospital since it was first instituted; inspector of house of refuge since it was erected; director of the Perth Mutual Fire Insurance Co. for fifteen years, and its president for ten years.
To discharge the multifarious duties in connection with these positions was the work of no ordinary man. The whole secret of his success was honesty of purpose and a thoroughness in everything he undertook to accomplish. This inspired confidence in those whom he served, which in his career has never been shaken, and which he still retains.
He was a man of strong and robust physique, and his youth spent in chopping and logging had so inured his constitution to hard labour that he was able to accomplish all his undertakings with ease. He is possessed of a large amount of good, common sense, is affable and kind in his manner, knows men well, and has the faculty of penetrating their motives. These characteristics, with a capacity for hard work, were the instruments by which he raised himself to the front rank of Perth's great men.
About Perth County, Ontario
Welcome to Perth County GenWeb, your online guide to Perth County Genealogy since February 1998! I am Meg Fuller, Your Coordinator for this County site.
I hope you enjoy your visit. Please email me if you have any suggestions or contributions you would like to make.
I hope you find my efforts helpful in your research of your County roots. I am unable to do additional research on your family as I do not have direct access to records. I post everything I have for all to use.
Perth County is located in south-western Ontario in about the middle of the peninsula. There are many small towns and hamlets in this area, and the largest city is Stratford. Stratford currently has a population of about 30 000. This population swells in the summer tourist season! For the most part Perth County consists of rural agricultural land. The other major industry is tourism because of the Stratford Festival.
It is one of the few counties in South-Western Ontario that doesn't touch any of the Great Lakes. Because of its location, and distance from the Great Lakes, it was one of the last areas in Ontario to be settled. People who aren't familiar with Ontario often confuse it with Perth, a city in Lanark County. If it's Perth, Lanark County you're after, or if your reference just says Perth, here's a link to the Lanark County GenWeb. But it was nice of you to visit.

Quinn Creating 'Innovation Council' to Create Jobs
Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn proposed a slight increase in education spending Wednesday but wants to save state money by pushing school consolidation and eliminating regional education offices, two ideas that have gone down in flames over the years.
Quinn resurrected the idea of consolidation, which has caused ll feelings since the days of the one-room schoolhouse, but didn't say how much might be saved.
His chief of staff, Jack Lavin, said he number of districts in Illinois -now 868 - "should be down significantly."
The Democratic governor also proposed cutting a $14 million subsidy to 45 regional offices of education, which conduct training and special schools, and reducing by $95 million the amount the state pays to bus students to the classroom.
Overall state support for elementary and secondary education would climb 3.2 percent to $7.2 billion, still 1 percent lower than in 2009-2010 school year.
Higher education would see just a slight increase in money, 1.2 percent to $2.15 billion.

The detailer is sending me some pictures hopefully later today. Even though the car was only 7 weeks old, the paint was swirled and marked from where the dealer had done a poor job of washing the car, the detailer machined polished and corrected the paint removing all swirls and putting it back to the same condition as it was when it came out of the factory. Front of car Front Again Paint (No swirls at all) Rear Again apologies for the poor photo quality, these will be replaced with the digital camera pics shortly. In total the whole process from start to finish took 6-8 hours. Im afraid to take it out in the rain now!

Our transition from a Care Council to a Quality Collaborative is well under way! We are linking efforts with the Colorado Hospital Association, the Colorado Department of Health and Public Environment, the Center for Disease Control, the Vermont Oxford Network and the March of Dimes to improve outcomes for Colorado's mothers and babies throughout our state. With their support, we will continue to address recurrent preterm birth (Safe Deliveries Colorado), neonatal antibiotic use (Colorado Antibiotic Stewardship Collaborative) and survey maternal and neonatal levels of care (LOCATe) in 2017. Please see project links on the left to learn more about these initiatives.
In November of 2016, we participated in the CDC and March of Dimes' launch of the National Network of Perinatal Quality Collaboratives. The goal of a PQC is to align perinatal care providers and public health professionals to improve pregnancy outcomes for women and newborns by advancing evidence-based clinical practices and processes through continuous quality improvement. Colorado presented our own PQC challenges and successes. In addition to sharing our experience, we had the opportunity to learn from 43 other PQC's from across the country. North Carolina has a fantastic record for including parent/patient representatives in their quality projects and Illinois has significantly improved the accuracy of their birth certificate data. Both are important goals for our evolving PQC.
I invite individuals, agencies, and hospitals to join us in our efforts to improve access to best practice care for all women and infants in Colorado. Our 2017 hospital support letters will be delivered this spring. The $1/live birth contribution is crucial for our volunteer based PQC's operations. We thank you for your support, we want Colorado to be the best place to give birth or be born in the US!

Head mounted display technology is maturing very quickly now and what was once limited to research and military facilities is quickly becoming consumer technology. One of the leaders in this is Sony, which has just launched their headset the HMZ T2 in India.
The HMZ T2, priced at Rs.69,990 seems expensive, but it creates the impression of looking at a 72-inch TV from a distance of 6-7 feet, which makes it a budget buy compared to most new TVs of that size. The catch of course is that only one person can use it at a time.
The HMZ is basically a helmet that puts a screen right in front of your eyes. If you look at it from the back you see a couple of plastic straps to keep it in place, and a padded piece of plastic to brace it against your forehead and two screens. It's large enough to wear with glasses.
It's fairly heavy, but you're not really supposed to be wearing it standing up. Leaning back in a chair, it's quite comfortable. It's definitely not a portable unit though, and actually needs a separate HDMI passthrough aside from a video source capable of HDMI out. That could be a Playstation 3 or an Xbox 360, a Blu Ray player, a laptop or even a phone these days.
Putting the headset on is a little difficult, and you'll look like you stepped out of a Star Trek set, but once you've got it on, there is total immersion. The outside world is not a presence, particularly if you're using a nice set of noise cancelling headphones.
Sony says the field of view is around 45-inches, so that's like watching a 72-inch television from around 7-feet away – the actual effect is so much more though, because you're fully immersed when you wear this. Most people in fact suggest watching TV from enough distance to get a 30-degree viewing angle.
The overall experience is very rich, but it's worth noting that HMD technology is evolving very quickly. Epson's Moverio which launched earlier this year is a great portable version of this technology, though the image quality there is not nearly as impressive.
Google Goggles has spurred interest in HMDs as well, and we could see more on that next year. In gaming too, one of the most exciting new products being developed right now is the Oculus Rift, which should have developer prototypes out this year, and consumer products in 2013 – that device promises to blend a head mounted display with a 90-degree field of view with augmented reality – motion based controls, to create a hyper-real gaming experience.
The technology is improving rapidly, but actual consumer products are still a little way off–the HMZ is a good bridge product, and worth trying out.

Generating unique numbers in Domino using LotusScript
This IBM LotusScript tip illustrates the use of Profile Document to generate unique numbers.
This Article Covers
View member feedback to this tip.
This tip illustrates the use of Profile Document to generate unique numbers.
Most Notes workflows are based on Defects. So here I present a real-world example for generating unique Defect Tracking Number. (With this tip you can get rid of the issue of 64K limit as in DBLookUp.)
Download: IT certifications that stand out
Are you looking to advance your career? Expand your knowledge? Boost your credibility? Our editors put together this complimentary 19-page guide on everything you need to know about obtaining an IT certification—with special attention given to cloud and desktop certifications.
By submitting your personal information, you agree that TechTarget and its partners may contact you regarding relevant content, products and special offers.
You also agree that your personal information may be transferred and processed in the United States, and that you have read and agree to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.
The idea behind this is to capture the latest Defect Tracking Number in the public profile document. This should be done using the two functions below. Put these two functions in a script library named slTracker and use it on the Defect form. Call setLatestDefectNumber() when saving the Defect Form. Call getLatestDefectNumber() in QueryOpen event to assign it to DefectNumber field.
Caution: Make sure the Profile Document is updated only for new Defect Documents.
Public Function getLatestDefectNumber() As String On Error Goto errorHandler getLatestDefectNumber = "" Dim session As New NotesSession Dim db As NotesDatabase Dim docProfile As NotesDocument Dim lastDefectNumber As String Dim newDefectNumber As String Dim temp As Variant Set db = session.CurrentDatabase Set docProfile = db.GetProfileDocument("DefectNumber") If Not docProfile Is Nothing Then If docProfile.HasItem("LastDefectNumber") Then lastDefectNumber = Cstr(docProfile.GetItemValue("LastDefectNumber")(0)) Temp = Clng(lastDefectNumber) + 1 newDefectNumber = Cstr(Temp) End If End If getLatestDefectNumber = newDefectNumber Exit Function errorHandler: getLatestDefectNumber = "" End Function Public Function setLatestDefectNumber(strDefectNumber As String) As Boolean On Error Goto errorHandler setLatestDefectNumber = False Dim session As New NotesSession Dim db As NotesDatabase Dim docProfile As NotesDocument Dim lastDefectNumber As String Dim newDefectNumber As String Dim temp As Variant Set db = session.CurrentDatabase Set docProfile = db.GetProfileDocument("DefectNumber") If Not docProfile Is Nothing Then If docProfile.HasItem("LastDefectNumber") Then Call docProfile.ReplaceItemValue("LastDefectNumber",strDefectNumber) Call docProfile.Save(True,False) End If End If setLatestDefectNumber = True Exit Function errorHandler: setLatestDefectNumber = False End Function
The worst place to store the highest number (incremental numbering) is in a profile document. That's because profile documents are cached locally on the Notes client. So if someone opens the application, and leaves it open, and in the meantime other people create new documents, it's possible the profile document the first user has is its cache, is out of date, and the sequence gets wrong.
There are better places to store this type of info. One is in normal notesdocuments (access by view, or put one document in a folder). Another is to use the lookup to a view in LotusScript. If you are writing script, the 64K limit won't affect you (getfirstdocument()).
Tom B.
This tip can produce conflicts. Access by either view or folder is a better solution, but it's possible to generate document conflicts. With "lock" document, you have no problem.
Pablo D.
How can you manage a unique number when you have the same application running on multiple servers all connected via a switch? That's where it gets tricky and the method described fails.

Gerald Martin Johanssen is the tritagonist of the Nickelodeon animated television series Hey Arnold!
He was voiced by Jamil Walker Smith throughout the entire run of the series, even as Smith went through puberty (the voice change was explained away when "Gerald's Tonsils" were removed). Gerald is Arnold's best friend — which usually means he's on the scene when Arnold's latest escapade happens. Gerald is also the occasional voice of reason (just when Arnold needs it). Gerald has a good deal of knowledge of many legendary stories in the city, or "urban legends" as he calls them ("Stoop Kid" was the first he told, while "Ghost Bride" was the last). He apparently gets these myths from a source he has nicknamed "Fuzzy Slippers", mentioned in many episodes as his reliable assistant. Until Arnold taught him, Gerald did not even know how to ride a bicycle ("Gerald's Secret"). In the episode ("Ransom") Gerald is seen riding his bicycle before episode ("Gerald's Secret"). Gerald's catchphrases usually were "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?", "You're a bold kid". But Gerald's interest in urban legends gave him a fright in one episode ("Four-Eyed Jack") after Gerald said there's no such thing as ghosts, but at the end of the episode while Gerald is asleep, the ghost awakens him and says a simple "boo" before Gerald screams loudly. The ghost disappeared afterwards.
At school, Gerald is the class president ("Cool Party", "Mr. Green Runs"), and considers himself very cool, and apparently, so do his friends. When it was revealed that Arnold was on Rhonda's so-called "Cool List", and that Gerald was on her other list known as "The Geek List" (due to a grudge Rhonda had against him over running for class president), many classmates were surprised to find this out ("Cool Party"). He seems to know a great deal of children's street culture.
Gerald may be beginning to notice that Phoebe is paying more and more attention to him — and the feeling could be mutual, although Gerald does accept a date to a dance from an older girl in "6th Grade Girls". (There weren't any "Gerald and Phoebe" scenes in any of the second season episodes, but Phoebe has "that look" after Gerald's solo in "Gerald's Tonsils", and they're together throughout Rhonda's party in "Hey Harold!".)
Gerald's last name is spelled "Johanson" in the first season and "Johanssen" in the second season, although it's spelled "Johannsen" in the credits for "The High Life" and "Johansson" in the credits of the "Urban Adventures" tape; since Gerald signs it "Johanssen" in "The High Life", that's the spelling used here.
Gerald's most distinct features are his hi-top fade (classmate Helga often calls him "Tall Hair Boy"), and his shirt with the number 33 on it (he also wears 33 on sports uniforms, a reference to Scottie Pippen). Now, he wears a red sweatshirt with the same number on it.
In the episode "Gerald's Tonsils" Gerald is a soloist of chorus, and in the episode "Arnold As Cupid" he's briefly seen playing violin.
- Timberly Johanssen — Gerald's little sister. She is usually causing trouble due to her desire for attention or naturally childish behaviour. Unlike all the other children on the show, Timberly seems to get older throughout the series: At her first appearance, she is mentioned to be four years old, but she already attends the first grade in "Timberly Loves Arnold".
- Jamie O Johanssen — Gerald's older brother, who while he causes trouble for him, ultimately cares for him, their relationship becoming more amicable after the events of "Jamie O in Love ".
- Martin Johanssen — Gerald's sometimes strict father, complains about wasting electricity.
- Mrs. Johanssen — Gerald's very kind mother, keeps family together.
According to the comics "Gerald's Haircut" Gerald has a bald uncle named Maurice.
- Connie — A sixth-grader who was Gerald's "date" at the school dance in "6th Grade Girls", but it turned out that all she wanted was to make her boyfriend Burt jealous. She was the first girl to kiss Gerald.
- Chloe — an older girl who recently moved into the neighborhood, who hung out with Gerald, but only to get closer to his older brother Jamie O. Gerald felt betrayed after the truth was revealed.
- Phoebe — Although not much is confirmed, they have shown signs of possibly like-liking each other. Their first interaction was in "Operation Ruthless" when they were riding swan boat together and walking home while holding hands. Then it was shown by Phoebe that in "Roughin' It" she admired Gerald's camping skills. Also, in "Gerald Moves Out", a portrait of Phoebe is shown in Gerald's daydream. Then in "Wheezin' Ed" when they were paired up together to head in a direction in one of the tunnels, they looked at each other in a romantic way. Also they are seen dancing together in "School Dance". In "Arnold's Thanksgiving", Gerald and Phoebe can be seen walking on the stage together holding hands. In the planned spin-off show, The Patakis, Gerald and Phoebe would have been a couple. However, the show never went ahead. In the episode Phoebe Breaks a Leg, when Helga cleans Phoebe's locker there is a picture of Gerald on the inside.
- His hair looks similar to Marge Simpson from The Simpsons.
- In later episodes, his voice actor, Jamil Walker Smith's voice was digitally mastered to a higher pitch by using sound audio.
- Hey Arnold! The Jungle Movie is the first and only time Gerald will have a new voice actor.

Two companies cited for worker's death in shucking machine
The federal government said Monday that it has proposed fines against two companies in a worker's death at a New Bedford seafood processing plant.
Victor Gerena, 35, was killed on Jan. 16, when he became entangled in the parts of a shellfish shucking machine while he was cleaning it.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration proposed a fine of $35,410 against Sea Watch International, where the accident happened.
OSHA said Sea Watch was cited for seven serious safety violations, including failure to implement basic safety procedures to protect workers who service or maintain machines.
OSHA also proposed a $9,000 fine against Workforce Unlimited, a Rhode Island-based company that supplies temporary workers to Sea Watch.
The federal government said Sea Watch employs 15 full-time workers at its New Bedford plant and that 185 of the workers at the plant were temporary employees supplied by Workforce Unlimited.
The companies have 15 days to accept or contest the penalties.
A lawyer for Workforce Unlimited said the company has not yet been notified by OSHA and could not comment.

I currently work for a basement reno company as a salesman. All I do is estimating and getting the contracts finalized, I do NOT do any of the actual construction. We have framing/drywall ppl, licensed electrician, plumber, plainter etc..
If I were to start this type of business myself and only do the sales/marketing/project management aspect of the business do I need any kind of license for this?
if u r a home owner in kingston you can do work with out inspection
You do not need any license to sell the mentioned services, however you need a license mostly for gas, electrical and plumbing if you are actually installing any of it. If you are sub-contracting it you don't need anything. Guys read the Laws right.
And of course if you are a home owner anywhere in Ontario you will need inspections but not licenses.
This kind of work falls under renovation, and you could get "Building Renovation Licence" to look "nice", but it is not required.
However,any work on HVAC, plumbing, electrical, gas, or structural changes require licenced person (subcontractor).
I am a plumbing contractor in Vancouver.
If you are planning to sub contract your plumbing & gas work you should make sure your plumber has a: plumbing/gas ticket, gas contractors license, and a business licence. It is important for someone to have these because the city will not issue you permits and you will not be able to call for inspections without them.

I went to watch our Under-20 side beat Inverness Caledonian Thistle 4-2 on Tuesday afternoon - and it was yet another good performance and win from the boys.
They played some decent stuff and they are having a really good season under Scott McKenzie, which is great to see.
Scott had to build a team in a short period of time over the summer, but he got the players in and got them ready and they have had a number of encouraging results and performances so far.
They play good football and work hard and the main thing for them is that they continue to develop and learn the game.
The boys are taking a lot of things on board and we are really pleased with their progress so far.
There was an Archibald on the bench, but I think he was clutching at straws a bit … there was no chance he was getting on!
We were a bit short of numbers so Archie took his boots along and was named as one of the substitutes. Fortunately for the team, and his legs, he wasn't required.
Alan keeps himself fit and he still trains with the boys when he can. He still likes to get involved and keep himself ticking over, but there was no return to action for him this week.

Renegade Ops is one of the better top-down, vehicle-based shooters out there. If you've never played one before, imagine controlling a vehicle just like any twin stick shooter. Left stick controls the vehicle; right stick controls the gun. Now place that twin-stick shooter on land, add some friction for your wheels and you have yourself a "new" genre.
The story is simple enough. A city blows up at the start (reminiscent of inFamous) and you learn that the supervillain Inferno can't be found by the government. Former military man (insert name here) gets fed up and decides to gather a group of four renegades to help him take down this evil menace.

Lufthansa Technik Hamburg is expanding its engineering capability, and plans to add seven positions to the existing 55-person core team, with more positions slated for 2014 and 2015. Customers will be offered pre-defined service packages, including access to engineers and mechanics through the Lufthansa Technik logistics network, and support for AOGs and emergencies.
"Our customers will get 24/7 global free-of-charge troubleshooting hotline support for up to 10 man hours as an airside assistance regardless of where the aircraft operates," said Walter Heerdt, senior v-p of marketing and sales. "This means that after signing a standby support agreement, no further fees or charges will apply until the customer requests additional service at prior agreed-to prices and conditions."
Engineering and troubleshooting questions will be handled by Lufthansa Technik's central maintenance control center.
According to the MRO, basic services can be extended by a larger number of additional products from the company's general VIP maintenance and operational services. These include maintenance management services such as Camo support or airworthiness reviews, cabin interior refurbishment, government authority coordination, engine services and component MRO services.

Sunny and blustery
Today: Mostly Sunny, Gusty & Cold (Winds Calm this Afternoon)
Highs: Mid 40s | Wind: NW 15-25+, Calming Late
Overnight: Clear and Cold
Lows: 26°-34° | Wind: Light
Tomorrow: Mostly Sunny, Seasonable, Added PM Clouds
Highs: Near 50° | Wind: S 3-6
Yesterday was a record buster for rainfall throughout the area with Reagan breaking an all-time record with 3.10" of rain! Dulles and BWI Thurgood Marshall also set records with their 2.14" and 2.38" respectively. The system wrapped up so quickly that minimal amounts of snow fell, with only the higher elevations west getting the brunt of winter weather.
Winds will gust this morning making for a brisk and bitter start. Temperatures in the 30s combined with gusts to near 30mph will make for "feels like" numbers in the 20s. Winds will calm this afternoon but highs only peak in the mid 40s under mostly sunny skies. Temperatures climb to near seasonable levels for Friday near 50°, before a few added afternoon clouds stream in. A secondary blast of cooler weather ensures a very crisp weekend with highs in the lower 40s and lows in the 20s. We remain dry into the first half of next week. Have a good day.

Damn that looks good and I absolutely love the axe on display.
Hi all, just though I would share this with you, and say thanks as I picked up some tips on this from your forum. I have been wanting to build a log burner out of a gas bottle for a while, but, I can't weld, and if I had to fork out for the kit, or pay a welder, that would defeat the object, and not make it cheap, and I may as well have just bought one off eBay, so after reading through forums such as this one, I eventually worked out how I could build one without any welding required, and here it is, in my lounge fizzing away beautifully.
It just needs a second coat of paint and I am all done, although I may add a viewing window at a later stage once I get hold of a suitable pyrex lid.
So here is how I did it:
Removed the valve with monkey wrench and scaffolding tube (good video on youtube to show you how to do this)
Then purged the gas by filling it with water.
Marked and cut out door and cut top off, using angle grinder
Used old T hinges and old gate latch and bolted on door, with pack of bolts from hardware shop, and cut and bolted on plate to close gap on latch side using the lid of an old deep fat fryer. Door was sealed later with fire rope (approx £1.50 a meter and £3.50 for adhesive)
The grate was fixed by drilling holes for four old bolts sliding them through and fixing with fire cement, grate rests on those and grinded off points to prevent snagging when emptying ash, used an old grate I had from a BBQ bucket, but have since made a new one from cutting off the base of an old empty thinners drum and drilling lots of holes in, (loads of these lying around), fits perfectly and also useful for other bits, like a baffle which I may add later if I get a thinner top for a hot plate.
Fixed flue which I got off eBay double lined stainless steel as it is going through cavity wall in old gas fire hole, luckily, they sent me thr wrong size, twice the length I ordered, so even though it cost me £23 I may sell the offcut and get at least a tenner back. Result!
Cut out hole for flue (keep cut out piece to make flue valve later) and fixed flue by cutting and bending back segments inside and fixing with Fire cement (£1.80 small tub)
Acquired an old drain cover and cut out top, and again fixed using fire cement, along inside rim and round outside join.
Again, I acquired an old piece of steel plate off an old canal barge, and used this as a back plate cutting out hole for flue, and placed on two old 3 x 2 concrete slabs to make hearth.
Before this stage, I burned off all the paint outside, that was great fun in the recent snow, and then finally made the vents, at the bottom I made a sliding air vent using a piece cut out from the left over top of the bottle and making a handle out of an old scrap washing machine foot, also fixed a wooden handle to the door latch (I made my own but you could use an old one), and a flue vent that is outside but can be operated inside by using thick steel wire running through hole attached to cross section fixed to the off cut that fits inside the end of the pipe neatly and fixed on with home made bracket, and again another home made wooden handle. In fact the vents and valves were the trickiest things to get right, getting the air flow just right is the crucial part as research told me and a few practices where the house was full of smoke, but it is perfect now and I am getting a lovely slow burn, with a fast burn when the door is open perfect when re-stocking logs, and I am sitting here in a t-shirt writing this, first time I have been able to do that since August.
I am sure I have missed stuff but anyway just to show that you can make one without welding, it cost me less than £50, and was great fun to do and building it kept me warm during the "big freeze" and for many winters to come Hope it inspires someone else to do one as your forum has helped me with the advice given to others, any questions, just ask, glad to help. Great Forum btw.
One thing I would do differently is if you can get hold of two gas bottles, to use the donor bottle to make the door so that it is oversize and maybe then not necessary to use fire rope, or it would be easier to fit it as its a fiddle to do, but works though.
And I know it's not necessarily "legal" but needs must, and it works, obviously I would only recommend this for outdoor/workshop usage (ahem) :.
I will post another picture once second coat of paint is on.
Damn that looks good and I absolutely love the axe on display.
Nice one jatsman , and no welding .
hi jatsman,
great idea for keeping warm! nice to see there are still some very inventive and resourcefull characters around!. i would imagine every single inovation had its mishaps, teething troubles, and disasters! but their originators persevered to eventually arrive at the near perfect product that we now have, and to some narrow minded people anything less is just not acceptable.
as you say, 'needs must' and look forward to seeing mk2, well done!
some simple 'L' brackets bolted to on keep the top down
may be a sensible improvement.
I assume the chimney can take the output
one of those little cheap carban monoxide dectors
could be put in the room
How about a woodgas version?
Stay careful & alive
I think I need more method
[QUOTE=nigelp;631959]edited by ModQUOTE]
Well thanks for the concern but I can't see the logic in that emotive statement, so the top "lifts off", which could only happen if was knocked over as it's hardly likely to explode off, and if I did knock it off, I would be there unless I intentionally gave it a really good kick and send the ashes sprawling to the floor and then leave them and go down the pub, so, I think I will be OK, at the most a little smoke leakage. However, I have thought about fastening some catches on to the top should I notice a deterioration in the fire cement.
lol Mike beat me to it.some simple 'L' brackets bolted to on keep the top down
may be a sensible improvement.
Good job I am anonymous then uh, or I am sure your friend would be reporting me himself, I mean, installing log burners is a growing and lucrative business, but he shouldn't worry, there are plenty that are smart enough to pay him, or rather his company, a grand or two.
edit: Thanks wood, the spirit of this site summed up... and yes MKII already being envisaged, and I have found another gas bottle today in fact, so will make that improvement to the door I mentioned using the donor bottle as I can see the fire rope deteriorating over time and a great suggestion for a carbon monoxide detector Mike. Thanks

Looks good jatsman, I like the design buddy!
I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I'm not.
Not a bad job mate, should do the do until you can get some better parts or welding gear, as you say needs must. I really dont like all this building regs and carp that are being used. If its your house you should be able to heat it the way you want, weve been doing it for centuries and never had any problems, just another way for the government to get money from you. Just be careful and Im sure it will do you fine as a stop gap!
I understand the words of caution given, by the pro fire installer that's what he does for a living, I also sure if you were a professional welder and fire installer you would have done a better job.
I understand that you however are not a professional welder and fire installer, so well done mate, its far better than anything I have achieved.
And now you have a few Ideas for improvement I look forward to seeing the Mk 2 version.
Have a happy life with no regrets, and live long enough to be a burden to your kids.
I laughed at the genuine ingenuity of this. Totaly brilliant!
Reminds me of things I did a long time ago, on a much smaller scale, whilst living in a morris 1100 van.
A 5 litre paint tin with nail holes punched around the base.....Vacuum cleaner pipe chimney through the lid, and exit out of the quarterlight. (when cars had that sort of thing)
The most important thing is KEEPING WARM
Be cautious re ventilation please.
"Why,sometimes i've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast"
The White Queen. Alice Through the Looking-Glass.
That is amazing , what a cracker of a log burning fire, well done
All that is keeping the firegrate in the fireplace in my flat is fire cement, no wait a moment it isn't the grate is loose
Oh yeah it was supposedly fitted by a professional.
Cheers All, I got some good tips on "air flow" and ventilation from various sites and the design was based on this ...
Although I can't see how this works indoors, just using the door to regulate air flow as that would be far too smokey, although ideal for a draughty workshop, you definitely need vents, and one tip that's been handy, and my first real chance to try it since I heard about it a while back, is the "upside down" fire
works a treat...
Will keep you posted on further developments then.
Looks good. might use your idea.
The only critism I can find is there is not much hearth in front of your woodburner.
Last edited by The jatsman; 25-01-2010 at 00:01.
looks fantastic nice one
Just some updates, lid secured with simple L brackets, some pics of the vents and home made handles, have moved the burner back towards the wall a bit, now that I know the back plate is fine, and gives me that bigger hearth, joints are holding fine, but will put an O ring clip around the flue joint at some stage, secured a back plate around the door opening which holds the fire rope in better now, so need for a new door, and just repainted too (not shown in these pics) and it is keeping me very warm, and also knocked up a log store in a morning with some pallets, scrap chipboard, and scrap roof felt for the roof. Now I just need more wood.
Oh yes, a tip from another site, I took out the grate and have the fire on a bed of sand in the bottom of the bottle instead, this gives a much better burn for wood, which is all I am likely to be using anyway, and with the air coming in at the bottom of the fire, and not underneath, it made a big difference.

That's genius. Not trying to trivialise possible H&S problems, but I used a caol fire for years, don't se how burning a shovel of coal under a brick tube in your living room is safe and this might not be.
