Mazcarz reacted to a post in a topic: Ford Focus 1.8 TDCi
yeah, you would think....and I kinda was guna take the brunt of it...but when seriously calculating if it was worth going down the ST route i crunched some figures....... tdci currently scraping to manage 43mpg...been going down nearly every day at the moment... STs do around the 30mpg mk (not official figures...but Fiesta STOC figures...so real!)... Mildly tuned STs manage more MPG...I was surprised to hear this...but again Fiesta ST info from the STOC...good bunch there... and the ST will be on LPG once I am using it for the school...Diesel at 134.9p here, LPG 70p pr ltr. That means I will make a saving of about 2/3p per mile on fuel alone...let alone the 250 quid a month saving taking the leasing costs out of the equation...and the day a month nearly of Ford appointments!! Lol! I will also maintain the car for next to nothing due to trade parts account! So although it seems nuts...there is some logic and amazingly it will save me pocket loada cash each week/month! Wonder what MPG figures the 155ps 1600s will come back with!
yeah...i was thinking in way of brakes too...mine fade in me tdci at times...too much left foot braking I think though!!! also my thoughts went to the torque...the fiesta 2.0 has got the torque by the buckets....and the boxes very rarely brake!! Well a guy on STOC with a 330bhp ST has blown his...but thats understandable right!? :D Yeah...will be modding with basics to ensure embarrassment to the 155ps boys!!....throttle body, KnN kit, flexi and decat and with a remap I be hitting 175ish easily. B) Plus the 155ps cant be good on fuel...the ST when tuned mildly actually manages better MPG than standard!! :)
Mk7 Wheels
InstructorPiggy replied to bneeco's topic in Ford Fiesta Clubst ones fit fine by the way 108pcd...
Fuel Filler Cap Help!
InstructorPiggy replied to johnrichardson's topic in Ford Fiesta Clubyes...but at the moment they aint a huge amount of other suppliers except if you do a ebay search...or breakeryard search
Engine Id Help Please
InstructorPiggy replied to Donny's topic in Technical Knowledgeagree...get an engine thats been run in...then hear it purr before you buy...then rebuild the basics...you will get more reliability this way.... Honda back in the day bought up all 1500cc blocks for their F1 cars...but they had to have done 100k miles or they wouldnt touch them...as they knew if 100k has been done that the block and head were good...for one race!! I not suggesting buy a 100k engine...but theres a principle there somewhere! B)
really!? interesting...what blows?.... Im on STOC and ensuring we all tune a wee bit to keep ahead of the 155 upgrade!!! But i bet the ST box can cope better...or obviously it can cope better!! B)
you realise that 4000 miles at 6p per mile is only a 240quid charge! thats not bad...on my 30k mile per year lease I pay 18p per mile if I go over it!!! I bet it cost you more to run the other car surely!?
Another Buckled Alloy
InstructorPiggy replied to olly's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubFord told me they were designed to buckle...so I asked if in their design they had a fund to replace all the 'desgined' buckles?! He wasnt impressed. Neither was I...180quid inc vat. I been running older tougher 16inch ford rims with 205/50s rather than 195/45s was better but still have two small buckles in front rims. Sucks. I did try and get my 16inch repaird....i posted a pic here at somepoint...but when trying to bend it out the company cracked the wheel..not so good. Is it me...or is this a modern thing...I never rememeber older cars/alloys bend the rims all the time!?
suckage...whats the pence per mile if you go over? Piggy

Mountune 155Ps Upgrade, Effect On Insurance?
InstructorPiggy replied to Solaris's topic in Ford Fiesta Club155 is a big jump...I wana know how! The old racing puma was a 1.7 and was 155ps standard...that had different cams, exhasut, inlet, map and revved very high!
New Wing Mirror Purchased, How To Fit?
InstructorPiggy replied to Harvey19's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubCool...at least it sorted...I never had to remove the door card for some odd reason...maybe the year it was made the wires were different!?
Mountune 155Ps Upgrade, Effect On Insurance?
InstructorPiggy replied to Solaris's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubWOH! :o do they use cams in the upgrade? that still under warranty?
Well It's All True
InstructorPiggy replied to titanium_s_spec's topic in Ford Fiesta Clubthis is a quote from a famous clint eastwood film..."Kellys heros" its epic...no one seen it!? :o
Service Questions
InstructorPiggy replied to a topic in Ford Fiesta Clubyes this is exactly right...used to do under warranty services all the time back in the day...just ensure the stamp they put in your service book includes the VAT number...and its a ok! Also you can ask for them to use the gen' filters too...which is motorcraft stuff. We used to stock it all for when people wanted ford servicing. where I used to work they would do a full service INCLUDING filters for 99pounds. Pollen and petrol filter was extra though. Piggy
Mountune 155Ps Upgrade, Effect On Insurance?
InstructorPiggy replied to Solaris's topic in Ford Fiesta Club155ps...is that right?! I thought it was just 140?! If its 155...how much is that and how the hell do they get it to do that!?

Aerosols: Climate and Air Quality
Predicting regional and global climate requires an understanding of the radiative effects of aerosol particles of natural and human origin, their cloud nucleating properties, and their effects on precipitation. These same particles affect the quality of the air that we breathe. NOAA is charged with providing the atmospheric measurements and analyses required to characterize the physical and chemical properties of these particles, and their effects on climate and human health.
How do aerosols impact climate and air quality?
Aerosol particles are emitted from Earth's surface both naturally (e.g., dust, sea-salt, biogenic emissions), and as a result of human activities. They also are created and modified by chemical processes in the atmosphere and they are constantly cycled among the Earth's oceans, atmosphere, and biosphere. They have an effect on the energy balance of the atmosphere either by directly scattering and absorbing radiation, by serving as condensation nuclei during cloud formation, and by influencing precipitation. Their presence also affects photosynthesis and agricultural production. These same particles that affect climate also impact the quality of the air that we breathe and the health of all living organisms.
Why are aerosols important?
On balance, aerosol particles tend to scatter energy back to space and cool the planet. This tends to offset the warming associated with greenhouse gases. Aerosols also can adversely affect human health. While greenhouse gases in the atmosphere act like a blanket, trapping longwave radiation and warming the planet, most aerosol particles have the opposite effect since they reflect some of the incoming solar radiation. Some types of particles, however, absorb solar radiation and can contribute to local warming of the atmosphere. An example of light absorbing particles is carbon soot generated from combustion processes or forest fires. Because aerosols have much shorter lifetimes and more varied distributions than greenhouse gases, the net effect on global climate is hard to predict.
The scattering of energy associated with aerosols is amplified by the fact that some aerosols act as nuclei for cloud droplets and can thereby increase the reflectance of clouds. They also may modify the lifetime of clouds by affecting precipitation. The extent of these mutual effects of aerosols on clouds and of clouds on aerosols are perhaps the single largest unknown in climate change prediction.
Common examples of the adverse health effects of aerosols among humans are the higher incidence of bronchial infections during periods of high aerosol loading, and short- and long-term adverse reactions to the toxicity of pollution particles.
What do we know?
For decades, the concentration of aerosols in the lower atmosphere has increased steadily primarily owing to industrial activity and biomass burning, but also to secondary aerosol formation, changes in land-use, and volcanic activity. There is clear evidence of the effect of aerosols on radiation as measured at Earth's surface and at the top of the atmosphere and its link to aerosol size distribution and composition. Aerosol size and composition are largely variable, which has important implications for climate as shown in figure 1. For example, some particles have a higher affinity for water vapor, grow larger in humid conditions, and scatter more light as shown in figure 2.
Fig. 1 Not all aerosols are created equal: Schematic showing the complexity of aerosol composition based on shipboard measurements in various locations.
Fig. 2 Schematic depicting the effect of relative humidity on the size of aerosol particles. Inorganic particles such as sea salt tend to take up more water vapor, grow larger, and therefore scatter more radiation than organic particles.
There is also strong evidence of aerosol modification of cloud microphysical properties as manifested in increased cloud reflectance associated with effluent from ship stacks and other pollution sources. Aerosol particles appear to suppress precipitation, although multiple feedbacks make it difficult to detect this effect. By reducing the amount of radiation reaching the surface, absorbing aerosol particles tend to reduce cloudiness (Figure 3).
Fig. 3 Schematic of the role of partially absorbing smoke particles on surface radiation and implications for cloud formation. Partially absorbing particles absorb and scatter radiation (1) and diminish the net radiation at the surface (2). This results in a reduction in surface latent and sensible heat flows from the surface (3), which reduces the strength of convection and cloud formation.
Increased aerosol loading in high density population centers has resulted in health problems that are a nuisance at best and lead to serious health problems or even mortality at worst. Understanding and predicting these events requires knowledge of emissions, chemical processing, and meteorology.
- Needed Developments
- Improved modeling of the aerosol-cloud-climate system at a range of scales
- Methods for integrating observations and measurements at a range of scales
- Improved air-quality forecast models
- Improved global coverage of aerosol radiative forcing
- Improved aerosol and cloud measurements (in-situ and remote)
What don't we know?
- Global radiative effects of aerosols on climate are still largely uncertain, requiring that we extend the geographic scope and frequency of our measurements;
- Aerosol effects on radiation at the top of the atmosphere and at the surface must be supplemented by radiative heating profiles. NOAA is addressing this problem with its small aircraft profiling program (Figures 4, 5), which, in turn, will be valuable for validation of satellite-derived aerosol products;
- There is evidence of local effects of aerosol on clouds, e.g., as manifested in ship tracks (Figure 6), but we do not have a firm understanding of the global implications of these effects, or a clear understanding of the effects on precipitation and the hydrological cycle;
- It is crucial that we improve our understanding of the various processes and feedbacks in the aerosol-cloud-climate system at the full range of scales (Fig. 7).
Fig. 4 The Cessna Turbo 206 aircraft used for the In-Situ Aerosol Profiling (IAP) program. This aircraft and its predecessor (Cessna 172XP) have made over 650 successful vertical profile flights over an instrumented surface site in Oklahoma since early 2000. Measurements include aerosol optical properties and trace gases that affect the solar radiation budget.
Fig. 5. Cumulative plot of radiative forcing efficiency (W m-2 per unit optical depth) versus altitude over north-central Oklahoma for the period of March 2000 through April 2006 (616 flights). These data provide important information on the vertical profile of the climate effects of aerosols.
The vertical lines that form the box ends represent the 25th and 75th percentiles of the population, the vertical line through the middle of the box shows the median (50th percentile), while the ends of the horizontal lines show the 5th and 95th percentiles. For comparison, the surface measurements made with identical instrumentation is shown in yellow.

- Contributions to Climate-Relevant Efforts
What is NOAA's role?
NOAA measures aerosol particles at a number of monitoring sites, and works with partners to improve the accuracy and reliability of these measurements in order to enhance our understanding of the sources, sinks, and trends in aerosol properties (Figure 8).
Specific to air quality, NOAA provides scientific information and tools for air quality decision-makers and timely and accurate air quality forecast guidance (Figure 9). Particulate matter is one of the most important foci of this effort.
NOAA also engages in intensive field studies with aircraft and ships that enhance our understanding of the processes that affect aerosols (Figure 10). These, together with the long-term monitoring networks, provide a continuous record that is critical to improving our understanding of regional and global air quality and climate, as well as aiding or verifying international management strategies.

What will we need to know in the future?
Quantifying natural and human-induced (anthropogenic) emissions, transport, atmospheric processing, and aerosol sinks is crucial. Quantifying the radiative effects associated with aerosol-cloud interactions is a priority. Key questions include:
- How can we improve our in-situ and remote sensing monitoring of aerosols, clouds and their effect on the Earth's radiation?
- How can we improve representation of aerosols and their effects on clouds in climate models?
- How can we improve our air-quality forecasting capabilities at the local and regional scales?
- How can we gain enough confidence in the models for them to aid in decision making?
- Which features can be validated?
- Major Partnerships
- U.S. Federal Agencies
- University of Colorado
- Colorado State University (CIRA)
- WMO Global Atmospheric Watch
How does society benefit from this knowledge?
The key to predicting the effects of aerosols on climate change and air quality lies in improving our understanding of key processes, in long-term monitoring, and in improved predictive capabilities through models.
NOAA's aerosol research enhances its ability to predict the effects of aerosols on climate change and air quality. State of the art measurements of radiatively important aerosol properties both reduce the uncertainties in the effects of these aerosols and provide valuable validation for satellite measurements, which can in turn be used to refine models for improved predictive capabilities. Accurate predictions of climate change are critical tools for policymakers to make informed decisions on how best to respond to a changing climate. Measurements and modeling of local to regional air quality will improve air quality forecasting, with the goal of minimizing the health risk to citizens and the adverse effects to US agricultural production.

Family gets assistance through hard times
Staff writer
Laura Hasenbank waited impatiently for her boyfriend to return home one night in December. She was starting to get worried, when her son came barreling through the front door with the news: Ike Boone had been in a rollover.
"It was really hard on all of us," Hasenbank said. "Ike had become a big part of our lives. I found out after the accident that he was going to propose to me on Christmas."
They took him to the hospital, where he was treated for his injuries. The doctors released him when he showed incredible progress — on one condition: if anything changed, he was to come back immediately.
His condition got worse, but Boone was stubborn and didn't think he needed any more medical attention. He passed away two days later, Dec. 18, from internal injuries.
"I couldn't make him go," Hasenbank said. "No one could make him go. He was just too stuck in his own ways."
Immediately, Hasenbank's world turned upside down. But even in the darkest days, she said one thing remained: the support of everyone in the Marion community.
In the past month, Hasenbank said she has had around 75 friends come by her house to offer condolences.
"People are just really nice here," she said, explaining that she has had numerous gifts, contributions and even anonymous monetary donations. "I can't express how wonderful it is to be in a community where people really care for each other."
She said she is continually shocked when she finds someone has paid off her electric bill — or has left her money.
"It's overwhelming," she said. "This community has always helped me and my boys. But, this has just been wonderful. Everybody has done so much. Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes."
As a single mother, Hasenbank said she has had little time to grieve, since she works in the day and parents her children at night.
"They're not making this easy for me," she said. "It's not their fault, but things are just really hard right now."
She said she tries to stay strong, but it doesn't always work. When things get tough, there is always someone willing to lessen her load — even if it is just for a while.
"I was about ready to break down when a couple of my friends asked if they could take care of my twin boys for a while in the evening," she said. "In the end, they took them in for two whole days. I could do whatever I wanted. It felt wonderful. I could just take a bubble bath and go to sleep."
Hasenbank said people are still approaching her, asking how she is doing — and if they can help her in any way. While she appreciates their support, she says it is at times overwhelming.
"Sometimes, you just get tired of seeing people," she said. "It's important to have time to mourn. I haven't been able to do that with everyone coming over — and raising my boys. It's just been really hard."
But she wouldn't trade the support of the community for anything.
"I moved out of Marion for a little while, but I came back," she said. "There's no other place like home. People are just not nice like this everywhere."
Now, as the commotion surrounding the tragedy slowly fades, Hasebank said she is finally getting the opportunity to say "thank you."
"Everyone in this town is such a blessing to me," she said, "They have been so wonderful. I can't even tell you what a blessing it has been to me and my family. I just hope I have the opportunity to pay it forward someday."

Heavenly Sword and WipEout Stage DLC Coming to PlayStation All-Stars (Now with an Hands-On Report)
Today it was announced that there will be a Heavenly Sword WipEout mash-up stage coming to PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale along with the previously announced character DLC of Kat(Gravity Rush) and Emmett Graves(Starhawk).
Exact release date for the DLC is unknown, but it will be arriving early next year and will be free for the first 2 weeks.
Expect in-depth coverage on PlayStation All-Stars later this week on the site and podcast.
So what does everyone think about the recent DLC announcements for PlayStation All-Stars?
Glenn's Report from Santa Monica Studios
One of the reason that I'm in the Los Angeles area this week was to attend a press event for the new DLC for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. As described above, we were able to play with two new characters, Kat and Emmett, and check out the new level as well.
Kat (Gravity Rush/Gravity Daze) is very quick, and her moves are almost "poetic" in a way, flowing from one to the next. She's best in close-quarters, and really isn't a threat at all from a distance. Your best bet with Kat is to focus on combos, and even now some people have found some interesting ways to chain into more combos by using her telekinetic abilities. Her Supers, as well, are best when in close, except for her Level 3 of course. She's very quick, and can be a handful to control, but if you can master her, she be devastating. I'd probably compare her to Dante the most, but overall very different from his mechanics.
Emmett Graves (Starhawk) is a bit slower and more strategic than most of the roster. His punch movement is quite deliberate, and like Sweet Tooth, you'll have some items at your disposal. As is the core of this game, they've kept Emmett true to his Starhawk roots even integrating Build & Battle into his arsenal. For example, Up + Triangle allowed Emmett to call-in a drop-pod, which revealed an automated machine gun turret. You can also call other items down, and if you can get good enough, multiple items can be strewn across the playfield, up to a certain limit though (just as in Starhawk with the limit on Rift Energy.) His Level 1 Super is pretty similar to the range of Kratos, but his Level 2, as my opponents found out last night, can actually be incredibly effective if all three of your opponents are in close proximity. His Level 3 is really badass too, but I don't want to give that away (it works better as a surprise.)
A new level was also revealed, named "Fearless" (also the name of the level in Heavenly Sword that the pillar is in,) You start atop that iconic pillar that everyone remembers from the early demo for Heavenly Sword. The fighting is fierce in this section, as the terrain is a bit more narrow, since it drops off on both edges. It then crumbles as the ropes break, ending next to a track from the Wipeout series. Platforms are more prevalent here, but again, the arena is a bit narrow, especially since the track on the right side of the screen is electrified, shocking any combatant that is thrown into it. Another peril on the right side are the racers themselves, which will slam into anyone unfortunate enough to be standing next to the track when they race by. I gotta say, this level in particular is really great for any fan of PlayStation. When that camera pans in from afar to reveal that legendary battleground from Heavenly Sword, it's a pretty great feeling.
Both DLC characters will be FREE for the first couple weeks of release, so even if you don't own the game, grab them "just in case." No actual release date has been set yet, but they're shooting for 'Early 2013' at the moment.
Check out Episode 297 of the podcast when it hits on Thursday or Friday of this week, as I sat down to talk to Omar Kendall, Game Director for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. We go in-depth with the mechanics of both new characters, the new level, and we talk about the new patch hitting soon.

Here are the tasting notes for the OH Bloggers Association Meeting. (These are so much better than meeting notes, don't you think?)
The white wines we tasted are a bit of a study in malolactic fermentation. This is the secondary fermentation wines go through. The tart malic acid from the first fermentation is converted to softer-tasting lactic acid. Remember, wine is a bit like laws and sausage… you probably don't want to know what goes into it, but you know it tastes lovely when its done! You may be familiar with this process if you drink Chardonnay.The malo is what brings out the butter or butterscotch flavors of Chard.
2010 Monmousseau Champagne (FR) $14.99
Brut Etoile – "methode champenoise" – secondary fermentation in the bottle.
Bubbles are refined and persistent and acidity is well-balanced on the palate. Ever so slight sweetness on the finish of this beautiful and inexpensive champagne.
2010 Argiolas Vermintino (IT) $14.99
Vermintino grape from Sardenia. This wine is fermented in stainless steel, and then put through partial malolactic fermentation in the tank which gives this wine a fuller body.You will find orange and vanilla flavors and a zesty acidity (making it a crisp wine). This one is great with Asian food.
2010 Burgáns Albariño (SP) $14.99
Rias Baixas, Spain
Bodegas Martín Códax – a cooperative of 270 growers and the winery.
This wine has good minerality with lemon, peach, tropical fruit flavors and full malolactic fermentation, smoothing the edges of this wine and providing a full mouthfeel.
Our reds are in the theme of "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" – these are some of the darker red wines with a lighter body, in varietals many people are really unfamiliar with, but are priced well for the budget. Each of them runs $12.99.
2010 Domaine Aime Cabernet Franc (FR) $12.99
Languedoc-Roussillon – Minervois appellation
No oak aging – dark cherry and cassis fruit flavors, slightly spicy and a bit of cocoa.
This is one of my favorite "middle of the road" reds – warm climate doesn't create the vegetative or green pepper notes that Cab Franc can be known for. Pair it with anything from chicken to pork to vegetarian dishes.
2005 Crianza Camparron (SP) $12.99
The tinta de toro or tempranillo grape. Cherry notes and light oak aging. This is a fruit forward wine with well-integrated wood flavors.
6 months on American oak, 24 months in the bottle before release.
We put this with spanish dishes, of course…although we pair this one with chili and spaghetti quite a bit.
2010 Stella Montepulciano d'Abruzzo (IT) $12.99
Eastern coast of Italy. Montepulciano grapes have also been introduced to Australia, so you may be finding this varietal from there as well.
Aromas of black cherries and herbs. Dry and mellow with concentrated structure.
Best enjoyed young, in order to fully appreciate its fruity character.
Enjoyed with typical Italian dishes, red meats, pizza, and cheese.
The recipe for the Cleveland Crostini is here.
Many thanks to Greg at Wine and Design for letting the bloggers invade your beautiful space. To Southside in Tremont for the rock star hummus – and to the Ohio Blogging Association for inviting me to put this tasting together for them. It was a lot of fun to meet some of the bloggers who's work I read regularly, and to see some friends!
We've got Beer and Cupcakes at Market Garden Brewery in Ohio City on March 11. And Wine and Cupcakes at The Olde Wine Cellar on March 22. Please join us for more great pairing adventures!

Did I just pay 20$ a piece for two clone repaints and 2 chew toys for my dog???But it still feels good to buy something new!
Are we that starved for new product?So the local drug deal starts selling draino. We are so hooked that we need to buy the draino because its new and that makes us feel good that we bought something new! I think if Hasbro put a can of dog **** on the shelf, label it Star Wars and charged $40, we would buy it because it's NEW.
If there were any differences, I'd say that that Hasbro's image looks to have a grayer look to the deco whereas the carded figure was more blue. I guess we'll only know when these actually hit retail.

Before you know it we'll be heading to la playa as the weather warms up. If you want to get rid of those ingrown hairs and bikini bumps there's a treatment out there for you: vajacials. Yes, you heard it right, vaginal facials.
The 50-minute procedure involves, cleansing, extraction of hairs, and sometimes a mask treatment. Most people do it post-Brazilian wax to relieve irritation. Spas around New York, London, and other major cities have adopted the trend. One New York spa, Haven, offers the treatment for $50.Would you get one? Comment below.

When buying a new bed, you might generally think about finding the right mattress, then dressing up your bed with new linens. Often the foundation for a mattress is completely overlooked. A foundation not only provides support, but can also help the mattress in other ways.
First, the foundation ensures proper air circulation, which helps lessen the chance of mold and mildew. Second, it provides fabric-to-fabric contact so the mattress does not rub against a rough surface such as the wood or metal of a frame. Lastly, it allows you to adjust the height of the mattress from the floor.
Natural rubber mattresses are recommended to be placed on wood-slat foundations, while innerspring mattresses should be placed on box-spring foundations.
OMI offers both types of foundation:
Our 8″ box-spring foundation is constructed with 2″-thick boards of cabinet-grade, untreated, kiln-dried fir. The heavy-duty steel springs (free of potential toxins from solvents and oils) are covered with a layer of durable organic cotton canvas, padded with organic cotton batting, then upholstered with the same organic quilting materials as our mattresses.
Our wood-slat foundation is made of cabinet-grade, untreated, kiln-dried fir. A layer of durable organic canvas is placed over the 2″-thick boards, padded with certified organic cotton and pure wool batting, and upholstered with the same organic quilting as our mattresses. Slats are spaced approximately 2.5″ apart. The wood-slat foundation is made in several different heights: 2", 3.5", 8", 10", and 12."
You don't need a foundation if you have a platform bed. The slats on the platform bed should be between 2" and 3" apart and between 2" and 3" wide. If your platform bed consists of a solid surface, the mattress will not ventilate properly and will be subject to mold or mildew. We recommend our Wool Underbed Pad to protect your mattress from rubbing on the slats and developing wear over time.

A little while ago my department (having recently moved into a new office) had a "get to know you" afternoon tea with the members of the other offices on our floor of the building.
Over warm drinks and homemade cakes a few of us did some team building through paper craft, courtesy of educational resources brought over by visiting Japanese colleagues. I made a water flea, Daphnia sp. In Japan, the activity is used to show children that the tiny planktonic crustacean they can view flat on a microscope slide is actually a 3-dimensional creature.
About a week after that afternoon tea I was out visiting the micrarium at Grant Museum of Zoology, and from the hundreds of back-lit slides of microscopic organisms on show, I spotted a water flea!
My paper craft water flea (L), and the water flea slide in the Grant Museum micrarium (R).
Then (in a nod to the rule of three principle) while reading Richard Fortey's book Dry Store Room No. 1, I came across this little snippet about the naming of species. The passage resonated with me, as well as being interesting in its own right, so I thought I would share it with you:
A whole dictionary of gods, goddesses, nymphs and satyrs has been recruited to label the natural world.
Daphne is a flowering shrub, Daphnia is a water flea; Daphne herself was a water nymph pursued by Apollo, who changed into a bay laurel tree.
The bay itself is Laurus nobilis, "noble" because the aromatic leaves were used to crown the brows of heroes.
Daphne mezereum, from Carl Lindman's Bilder ur Nordens Flora (Pictures of Northern Flora), 1905 (L), and Apollo and Daphne by Antonio Pollaiuolo, painted in the late 1400s (R).
So that is how a flower is like a water flea - they are both named after the Greek nymph, or naiad, Daphne, thanks to the nomenclature convention of taking species names from Latin and Greek classics.

I am hoping someone might have some good suggestions for pocket queries that will get all the caches in Maine, and New Hampshire if possible. I have two pocket queries in Maine right now, berwick and Medford with a radius of 75miles. This gets me several hundred caches, and yet on my last adventure not a one of the caches I looked for was caught by the queries.
I wish geocaching.com would simply let me get every cache in the state and increase this 500 limit.

Coming off a disastrous 2-16 season (winless in conference), in which the team scored a total of two goals in its last twelve games, there is serious need for dramatic improvement. The small recruiting class for next year also does not appear impressive. Perhaps the recent addition of an experienced new assistant (former head) coach, hopefully with some recruiting and coaching skills, will stir things up! The women's program is careening downhill and is miles behind the men's. With as many talented and experienced women high school soccer players as there are, especially in the southeast, we should be getting our share and doing much better than this.

Welcome to TBI CHIPS throttle body injection services.
So Just what is TBI, stands for Throttle Body Injection used by GM in the early 80's through 1995. The early systems from 1982-1986 are just too old to do much with. 1987-1991 were still SLOW computers with tiny chips limiting what can be done with the system. However, these systems were primarily used in the 1987-1995 pickup trucks and so they still work fine for low rpm truck applications. If your looking to run a motor over 5000 rpms then you really need a different type of injection and the cam choice needs to reflect that rpm max as well or your just asking for a nightmare.
Many still out there with TBI vehicles needing help getting more modern power levels and fuel mileage from older GM throttle body injected vehicles without going to the process of rewiring the vehicle to run a more modern fuel injection system. While TBI has a few crippling limitations it is still possible to pull a little over 1hp per cubic inch from these vehicles but requires a LOT of good planning and implementation to pull that kind of power level off and I am here to help provide that advice as well as support for the computer system to help you get there.
I have also added a paypal Donate button on the left as well. I have had many people ask about a donation to help pay for some of the knowledge i have placed on the website FREE of charge. No obligation at all but if you want to toss a little my way. Its appreciated. I am also going to test a Comments section out as well and see how that goes.

Madison County commissioners will use cash reserves to balance an approximate $640,000 revenue shortfall in the 2013 budget.
The county government anticipates less revenues next year due to a drop of over 10 percent in the county digest (overall property value), which means local tax collections will be down this year.
The board agreed to balance the budget with reserve money by a 4-1 vote, with John Pethel providing the lone "No."
County leaders anticipate roughly $5 million in reserves at the end of the year. Board members noted that the county government didn't have any reserves several years ago and had to borrow money to balance the budget.
"We're fortunate to have that cash on hand to do what we're doing," said commissioner Mike Youngblood. "A lot of counties haven't bit the bullet and made the cuts we have and our employees have. If we didn't have these funds, we'd have to make drastic changes…We put the reserves in place for times like this."
Pethel said the county has pulled $1 million from reserves to balance the budget over the past two years.
"If next year is worse, will we pull another $640,000 out of reserves or will we do something different?" he asked.

|Norman History
Norman, with a population of 102,000, was the only Big 12 Conference city in the top 50. No location in Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa or Nebraska rated higher. Fort Collins, Colo., was listed at No. 2 with Plymouth, Minn., taking the top honor.
"The university not only helps draw educated workers here but also serves as a major source of entertainment.
"If you don't love all things gridiron, console yourself with the campus' world-class art museum, which houses works by Degas, Monet and Renoir. Affordability is another plus: Starter homes go for about $135,000. While Norman hasn't had huge run-ups in housing prices, the city has also been spared the devastating downside."
In the article on CNN's Web site, a photo of OU tight end Jermaine Gresham catching a TD pass accompanies Norman's profile. The caption reads "In the fall, OU's football stadium is Norman's de facto town center."
Norman History
In 1870, the United States Land Office contracted with a professional engineer to survey much of Oklahoma territory. Abner E. Norman, a young surveyor, became chainman of the central survey area in Indian Territory. The surveyor's crew burned the words "Norman's Camp" into an elm tree near a watering hole to taunt their younger supervisor.
When the "Sooners" (those who headed west before the official Land Run date, April 22, 1889) and the other settlers arrived in the heart of Oklahoma, they kept the name "Norman." Today, with an estimated 111,357 residents, Norman is the third largest city in the State of Oklahoma.
Norman was primarily developed around the Santa Fe Railroad. Home to a passenger depot as well as a freight station, Norman became the headquarters for the railway. As business grew, it was necessary to expand the depot three times in the first few years of its existence. The last expansion was announced by J.E. Hurley, General Manager of the Santa Fe Railway, in 1909. The Santa Fe Depot was deeded to the City in 1972 and has had major renovations over the past ten years.
The City of Norman has agreed to preserve the Santa Fe Depot as a historical landmark and use the building in a manner as to benefit the entire community. It is a popular rental facility for meetings, banquets and parties, and provides daily Amtrak passenger service.
The railroad laid the foundation for Norman to flourish into a prominent city. While other Oklahoma towns were battling to be the capitol, Norman's Mayor, T.R. Waggoner, directed a bill through the Territorial Legislature to become home of the state's first institution of higher learning.
In 1890, Norman was chosen as the location for the University of Oklahoma (OU), contingent upon the county passing bonds to construct a building. Town and country residents were also required to donate 40 acres of land for a campus site. The residents of Norman were successful in all their plans to be OU's home and by 1895, the university enrolled 100 students. Today, the Norman campus has an enrollment of approximately 22,000.
Today, OU and the City of Norman are still making history. Norman was recently recognized as one of the most progressive cities in the state and the Norman Public School system was acknowledged as the top school system in Oklahoma.
Currently, Norman is involved in a downtown revitalization project as well as a project that will guide Norman and its citizens into the 21st century. The Norman 2020 plan was designed to address future population growth and infrastructure problems and offer solutions to solve these problems before they occur.
Norman's rich history plays an important role in citizen's lives and we continually make our history book more exciting with each passing year.

The living-room over is an excellent instance of just how to take full advantage of a small space mudroom. An area of this size has the tendency to appear cramped, yet the big home windows, light colored walls as well as adequate use of mirrors not only show the all-natural light gathering from the doors and the windows however using mirrors likewise gives the optical illusion of area, making the area appear larger than it actually is. Conversely, darker shades will make an area feel smaller sized.

So, you're not a direct blood relation of the upper echelons of newspaper management. Fear a job in journalism is out of reach to you?
Before you start scouring your family tree to check if you're a distant cousin of Kelvin MacKenzie, let me share with you these encouraging words from Josh Halliday.
His recent BBC College of Journalism blog argued how nepotism is being replaced by social networking in the industry. Josh says there's never been a better time for student journalists to use their online presence to raise their profile and get their journalism in front of the right people.
Not convinced? Josh, whose own efforts online led to him landing a job at the Guardian, gave the example of Dave Lee, a 23-year-old journalism graduate, who used his online network to land a dream job in the hallowed halls of BBC World Service.
Part of his break came when he posted a humorous - and brash - You Tube video clip pointing out how late the BBC was covering an earthquake compared to its rival, Sky News. The latter news organisation was impressed enough to offer him £50 for it - which Dave promptly turned down, asking for a work placement instead.
So, what does it take to walk in the footsteps of these web-savvy journalists? We're holding a live chat with a panel of experts to discuss how aspiring journos can use the internet to build their own personal brands and portfolios to impress employers. So, from blogs to how to network online, join us from 4pm on 26 May.

Golfing in the Grand Theft Auto series is primarily represented in the form of various golf courses, which first appeared in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, as well as golfing tools and attire. However, only Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and The Ballad of Gay Tony episodic game for Grand Theft Auto IV features golfing as an actual minigame.
Golf in general
The first depictions of golf in the GTA series appears in the form of golf courses in part of a city. They include:
- Leaf Links in Vice City (GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories);
- The Avispa Country Club in San Fierro and Yellow Bell Golf Course in Las Venturas (GTA San Andreas); and
- The Golden Pier Swingers Golf Club in Liberty City (GTA IV and episodic packs, and GTA Chinatown Wars).
With the exception of the Golden Pier Swingers Golf Course (which is merely a driving range), these golf courses tend be depicted with open lawn areas, sand traps, water hazards, putting greens (complete with flag poles pinpointing golf holes) and the country club building itself; (non-interactive) tennis courts are also present within the Leaf Links and Avispa Country Club. It is also common for the player to spot golfer pedestrians and Caddy golf carts in and around the courses.
Golf as a minigame
Golfing as an in-game activity is not available in GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas. In GTA Vice City Stories and The Ballad of Gay Tony, however, the player is given the opportunity to tee off at driving ranges in Leaf Links or the Swingers Golf Course.
The game mechanics of the minigame in both games is similar in that the player is required to time their swings as accurately as possible by plotting a oscillating cursor on a bar as close as possible to a designated point, thereby resulting in a more accurate shot. In the Ballad of Gay Tony, the shooting mechanics is slightly improved to increase the challenge of gameplay; the further the target which the ball must go, the higher the point which the cursor must be plotted at is.
In GTA Vice City Stories, golfing is only possible during "Home's on the Range". Golfing in The Ballad of Gay Tony is available after completing "Practice Swing", after which it can be activated by accessing the front entrance of the Golden Pier's Swingers Golf Course; players can choose to play with an anonymous competitor, or play with any of Luis Lopez's friends.

|2018 (e)
|2019 (f)
|GDP growth (%)
|Inflation (yearly average, %)
|Budget balance (% GDP)
|Current account balance (% GDP)
|Public debt (% GDP)
(e): Estimate. (f): Forecast.
- Political, economic and social stability and consensus; role of direct democracy
- Close relations with the EU
- Limited sensitivity of exports to foreign exchange due to focus on high technology and quality
- Public accounts in surplus and large external asset position
- European crossroads with excellent communication network
- Small, open and landlocked economy
- Overvalued Swiss franc used as a safe haven
- Highly dependent on trading and financial services
- Elevated house prices
- Banks' exposure to real estate (80% of loans), with two institutions accounting for half of domestic assets
- Population ageing offset by immigration (foreign labour makes up 30% of the workforce)
Growth returns to normal
The exceptional performance in 2018 – which was largely due to the positive impact on foreign trade of the depreciation of the Swiss franc in 2017, and sports licencing revenues earned by FIFA in the lead-up to the World Cup – will not be repeated in 2019. In fact, growth is expected to revert to its usual low level, reflective of spare capacity, with external trade making a smaller contribution and domestic demand continuing to play a significant positive role. Accordingly, exports (66% of GDP) are expected to lose some of their vigour owing to a less favourable global economy and franc appreciation between May and the end of 2018. Conversely, imports (55%) will continue to be driven by brisk domestic demand. Export performances would be affected by a no-deal Brexit, since exports to the United Kingdom account for 6% of the total, excluding indirect exports viaGermany. A soft patch for the euro that would give the Swiss franc back its traditional safe haven role would, provided it were temporary, probably be countered by an intervention by the Swiss National Bank, even if the central bank's foreign currency assets already exceed GDP. Household consumption (54%), meanwhile, looks set to continue to benefit from the increase in disposable income in a context of low inflation and a labour shortage, which will encourage wage growth, given the very low level of unemployment and reduced immigration since 2018. Against the backdrop of intensive use of production capacity and continued favourable financial conditions in connection with the negative key rates applied by the central bank, business investment in equipment, commercial and industrial buildings, and research and development should remain firm. However, it could stall if negotiations with the EU to adopt a new framework agreement prove unsuccessful. Civil engineering financed by the federation, cantons and municipalities should remain on track, with, for example, the construction of the Ceneri railway tunnel to complement the Gotthard tunnel on the Zurich-Milan corridor. Investment in rental housing could nevertheless decline given the downturn in permits and the increase in vacancies observed at the end of 2018.
Chemicals, pharmaceuticals, industrial and medical equipment (mechanical engineering, precision instruments, electrical and electronic equipment), engineering and tourism are all expected to perform satisfactorily due to their ability to cope with less supportive external economic conditions. Forestry, wood processing, printing and agri-food are likely to have a tougher time. Watchmaking, which has just emerged from a challenging period, is likely to be hurt by the Chinese and American slowdown. Retail trade is expected to grow modestly due to weaker competition from foreign supermarkets in border areas. Accordingly, the rise in corporate insolvencies observed in 2018 should be attributed primarily to the increased number of business start-ups in previous years.
External accounts in surplus
Switzerland has a massive current account surplus, which comprises a surplus in goods (7.2% of GDP in 2017), as well as in services (2.8%), the latter mainly generated by finance, licences, patents and tolls. The whole exceeds transfers from foreign workers (4.5%), which have surged as the number of foreign cross-border workers has risen to over 300,000. Even when trade in commodities (4.1%) is taken out, the surplus is still 5.4%. In addition, recurrent surpluses have made it possible to accumulate significant foreign assets to the point that Switzerland had a net external asset position equivalent to 135% of GDP in June 2018.
Solid public accounts
Under the fiscal rule adopted in 2003 by the federation and replicated by most cantons, the public accounts must be structurally balanced (in 2018, they showed a surplus equivalent to 1% of GDP). If the economic situation deteriorates significantly, the federal and cantonal authorities, based on a vote by the representative assemblies, would have access to significant fiscal stimulus capacity. Public debt is divided equally between the federation, on the one hand, and the cantons and communes, on the other. Its cost is extremely low, with zero or negative yields on bond issues maturing in ten years or less (November 2018). Net of claims held by general government, the debt is almost zero. Fiscal policy, which is slightly restrictive, will remain uncontentious.
The FDP-Liberal Party, the centre-right Christian Democratic Party and the conservative and nationalist Swiss People's Party (SVP) will dominate the bicameral Parliament and the National Council (seven-member executive with an annual rotating presidency) until the next elections in October 2019. Immigration from the EU (the SVP is pushing for a new vote), transformation of the many bilateral agreements governing relations with the EU into a framework agreement, pension reforms (increase in contributions and federal funding) and reforms to bring corporate taxation into line with international commitments (new vote planned for 2019) will remain the main issues.
Last update : February 2019
Bills of exchange and cheques are not commonly used in Switzerland, due to prohibitive banking and tax charges. The stamp duty on bills of exchange is 0.75% of the principal amount for domestic bills and 1.5% for international bills.
Commercial operators are particularly demanding regarding the formal validity of cheques and bills of exchange as payment instruments.
Domestic and international payments are commonly made by bank transfer − particularly via the SWIFT electronic network to which the major Swiss banks are connected. SWIFT provides rapid and efficient means of processing of payments, at low cost.
Debt collection
The Swiss legal system presents technical specificities, notably:
- the existence of an administrative authority known as the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Office (Office des poursuites et des faillites / Betreibungs und Konkursamt / Ufficio di esecuzione e fallimenti) in each canton, with several offices at local government level which are responsible for executing court orders. Their functions are regulated by federal law. Interested parties can consult or obtain extracts from the Office's records;
- a new, unified civil procedure code, created by a commission of experts and approved by the Federal Council, became effective in 2011. This code entailed the repeal of the 26 cantonal procedure laws which were hampering the efficiency of the judicial system. Nevertheless, lawsuits require the assistance of a lawyer who is familiar with the court organisation in the jurisdiction where the case is has been initiated, as well as with the language to be used in the litigation process (French, German or Italian).
Amicable phase
The debt collection process commences with the issuing of a final notice, preferably by recorded delivery (making it possible to accrue overdue interest). The notice requests the debtor to pay, within two weeks, the principal amount due, along with overdue interest calculated at the legal rate of 5% (unless otherwise agreed by the parties).
Legal proceedings
If payment is not forthcoming, the creditor can submit a signed and completed petition form (réquisition de poursuite) to the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Office. This Office then serves the debtor with a final order to pay within 20 days, effective from the date of notification of the petition.
While very easy to use by creditors, this procedure nonetheless permits debtors to oppose the order within 10 days of being served, without having to specify grounds. In such cases, without unconditional proof of debt to cancel the debtor's opposition, the only recourse for creditors is to seek redress through a formal legal action.
Before commencing formal legal action, it is mandatory to proceed to mediation or conciliation before a Justice of Peace. This excludes disputes falling within the jurisdiction of the Commercial Court of Zurich, or cases where both parties have agreed to ignore these proceedings and the claim is higher than CHF 100,000.
Legal proceedings entail initiating a formal (and now unified) procedure, comprising written and oral phases, with the possibility of examining witnesses during a court hearing. These procedures can last from one to three years, depending on the canton.
Conversely, where a creditor holds unconditional proof of debt signed by the debtor (any original document in which the buyer recognises his debt – such as a bill of exchange or a cheque), he may request the temporary lifting of the debtor's opposition (main levée de l'opposition), without having to appear before the court. This is a simplified procedure, which is quick and relatively easy to obtain, and in which the court's decision is based upon the documents submitted by the seller.
Once this lifting order has been granted, the creditor has 20 days in which to refer the case before the judge to obtain the debt's release (libération de dette) and subsequently obtain an executory order. Once the court hands down a final ruling, the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Office delivers an execution order or a winding-up petition (commination de faillite). This winding-up petition enables the creditor to send the court a request for bankruptcy. Upon receipt of this request, the court will fix a hearing and send a written notice to attend to both parties. If no payment is effected by the debtor and the creditor does not withdraw his request, the court will declare the debtor company bankrupt.
Either a court of first instance or a district court hears legal procedures. Commercial courts, presided over by a panel of professional and non-professional judges, exist in four Germanic cantons: Aargau, Berne, Saint-Gall, and Zürich.
Once an appeal has been lodged with the cantonal court, as a last resort for claims exceeding CHF 30,000, cases are heard by the main federal judicial institution: the Swiss Federal Court (Tribunal fédéral Suisse / Schweizerisches Bundesgericht / Tribunale federale svizzero), which is located inLausanne.
Enforcement of a Legal Decision
Domestic judgments are enforceable once final. The court typically awards compensatory damages and orders to seize and sell assets. Punitive damages are not granted.
Switzerland's domestic courts rapidly enforce court decisions falling under the scope of bilateral or multilateral reciprocal recognition and enforcement treaties − such as those issued in EU countries or under the Lugano Convention (which concerns Norway, Denmark & Iceland). Decisions rendered outside Europe are obliged to follow Swiss exequatur proceedings.
Insolvency Proceedings
Restructuring proceedings
Restructuring proceedings (Nachlassverfahren) can be initiated either by the debtor or the creditor. The administrator takes the necessary measures to prepare for the creditor and court approval of the composition agreement. An inventory is then taken, where all assets are valued. Approval of the agreement requires the affirmative vote of a quorum of either a majority of creditors representing two-thirds of the total debtors, or a quarter of the creditors representing three-quarters of the total debt. Once approved, the agreement must be confirmed by the Court. It then becomes valid and binding on all creditors of claims subject to the agreement.
Bankruptcy proceedings
A company may be declared bankrupt by the court and placed into bankruptcy proceedings if a creditor has successfully requested this, following a debtor's declaration that it is insolvent. The court will determine whether summary or ordinary proceedings should be applied, or whether bankruptcy proceedings will go ahead (if the assets are insufficient to cover the expected costs of proceedings). The Receiver then draws up an inventory. Summary proceedings are ordered if the proceeds of the assets are unlikely to cover the costs of ordinary proceedings. In this case, there are no creditors' meetings and the bankruptcy office will proceed to the liquidation and realisation of the assets, without the participation of the creditors.
If ordinary bankruptcy proceedings apply, the receiver publishes a notice of bankruptcy instructing all creditors and debtors to file their claims and debts within 30 days. This notice invites creditors to a first meeting (where they may appoint a private receiver instead of the state bankruptcy office) and a creditors' committee. A second meeting will be convened for the commencement or continuation of claims against third parties and to agree the method for realisation of the assets belonging to the bankruptcy estate.

TO address the other's questions. Here's my impression of the plot of Sacred Twins
First, on a interpersonal level, it is basically the character development of Ichika and Madoka and the blossoming of a taboo relationship as Madoka realises how much she needs Ichika. For Ichika, much like Haru from YnS, struggles under the temptation between morality of society and for himself. His denseness is half of a mask that he puts on himself, as a way to shield himself from his feelings towards and from Madoka, but also "friendzoning" his osana najimi/girls who also display feelings for him.
As a subplot, Chifuyu's relationship with Joshua is complicated, as it may serve as a parallel to IchikaMadoka, but what happened there resulted in tragedy and Chifuyu basically has a lot of guilt behind it. She doesn't completely enjoy the fact that her younger siblings are walking the same path she did.
On the political/international level, Phantom Task is basically creating a new Female World Order, but using the power of the IS. Due to conflict of interest between the existing governments who still have a remnant of males are resisting, hence it allowed Phantom Task to engage in terrorist-like activities, but they target IS facilities but do not harm civilians unless it's collateral damage.
Tabane is playing a neutral evil here, seeing as she desired the world to be more "exciting" and sharing that fun with Joshua, Chifuyu and their family was one of the main motivations of why she created the IS. Joshua is playing a devil's advocate, while he appears confident and everything. He is actually feeling a bit guilty for pushing Tabane to open Pandora's box.

...for some reason, I don't like Joshua already and I don't even know the fella......
And of course it has NOTHING to do with him snagging Chifuyu sometime in the past...oh no, not that....not that at all...()
Why am I so possessive of her? WHY!?!?! ...this can't be healthy...

Maya just wants to say 'Chifuyu-nee' like Ichika can. lol
Maybe I should just draw up a bio of that one character I brainstormed about earlier - the male Kendo instructor/competitor ... maybe then I can begin the slow process of healing ie. entertaining the thought of 'another guy' for Chifuyu other than Ichika - weird as that sounds...

@ Senpai - Do people's personality really change if they get amnesia? Joshua sounds different before and after he loses his memories.
@ Tempest - You should tell us about this OC Also, you might want to check if Chifuyu's really bro-con or not

She says she isn't...but... It's like she's trying to create that 'sibling distance' but (1) - he's already been 'formatted' for her ...
(2) - she knows she's got a good thing going and she doesn't want to give it up just yet.
I bet if he didn't have the ability to pilot an IS, she wouldn't have really cared since she was away from him for long periods of time, but now they see each other pretty much every day...

As for him playing Devil's advocate, he was the one talking about fitting the I.S. with weapons. Iori somewhat disagree but in the end Iori did it anyway, not half-assedly either (Iori is the designer of I.S. frame after all), similar to how Tabane putting effort into I.S. core 001.
When shit hits the fan, Joshua (as Yoshi) was robbed out of his freedom by his foster parents, thinking his friends are ultra dangerous (ironic truth but still...). The plane accident happens after the destruction of secret lab instead of before (the reason his family running away to America is to avoid people seeking for revenge, alas, they fail).
His guilt was so strong that his deconstructed messiah/savior/black sheep/guinea pig tendencies actually stemmed from that feeling, buried within his memories. Add to the fact that he lost his parents AGAIN just when he finally finished his officer school, getting into air force and pilot his first jet fighter... THEN his mentor when said mentor testing the first Jet fighter equipped with I.S. tech.

They need money, what do you expect, it's not like Chifuyu and Iori is a saint either (Iori can refuse, he didn't), but Tabane simply takes the cake :|
What's more dangerous than children that grew too fast? When all of them are prodigy, and don't EXACTLY knew what they're doing due to the lack of proper parents.

This is exactly the same as TD project from SRW, to complete the super prototype spaceship, then need money... Military Industry Isurugi has money, and need a new weapon platform. The end result would be a space fighter the size of super robot and armed like a small warship, which can be used to explore the space. (Hyperlion)

Good news, bad news
Bill Hobby, a former Texas lieutenant governor, was often quoted as saying any impending legislative session would be about the allocation of money or appropriation of tax dollars. All else, said Hobby, was poetry.
I'm not sure it was poetry, but anything other than the allocation of money fades into obscurity during any legislative session. Always the last and most important focus of any session is the passage of the appropriations bill and adjustments for differences therein between the House and Senate.
The current session of the Legislature has begun with false statements, emanating from the governor's office, that Texas is spending more than enough on public education and the Legislature should explore a constitutional amendment that would allow refunding of excessive tax money back to the taxpayers. Any such proposal seriously considered would be harmful. First of all, the greatest generator and source of tax to fund state activities is a sales tax. It seems it would be impossible to determine how much sales tax that has been paid by each and every citizen. Quite likely, the only returns that would be advocated by the current leadership would be business taxes paid. The other problem is that any reduction in state taxes will almost certainly bring a corresponding increase in local property taxes. The state, having abandoned its responsibility in funding statewide public education, has strained local property owners' abilities to support education to the fullest.
Liberals decry the fact that one-fourth of Texas children have no assurance they will be adequately fed; that Texas has more children in need of adequate medical insurance or medical care than any other state in the union; and that too many children do not have adequate education and suffer in poverty. Correspondingly, the conservative leadership of the state touts the business climate of Texas; the fact the state has no income tax; and that Texas' growth is outstripping other states of the United States. All of these circumstances combined represent bad news for our state.
Additionally, the highway fund is barely adequate to maintain the bare minimum maintenance of our once proud Texas highway system. Our legislature has expressed an intent not to replace the $5 billion or more taken out of public education efforts, adequately funding public schools so that the more than 100,000 school employees can be re-hired. And serious doubts exist concerning the state of Texas' ability to deal with its Medicaid requirements concerning the health of the elderly and children.
There appears to be some good news, however. More and more business groups such as the Texas Association of Business are not only recognizing but publishing their doubts about whether or not the state of Texas, because of its spectacular growth, will in the future have adequate resources such as water to accommodate continued growth and prosperity. There is much concern over repeated cutbacks in public education and the increasing cost of higher education and whether in the very near future the state will have an adequately trained workforce to accommodate jobs of the future.
One real hope for the future of Texas is that responsible, right-thinking people in business will reject the pandering of politicians to simply advocate no more taxes and the continuation of cutting not only the fat from state government, but cutting essential services required by a growing state.
Hopefully, the business community, along with other influential groups such as the medical establishment of this state, will continue to demand real answers as to how the state will and should address future needs to maintain a prosperous and growing state.
Already business groups are advocating an increase in the motor fuel tax, or increase the dedication of sales taxes on new vehicles to the highway fund. Additionally, some business groups are even addressing the issue of whether Texas' "lock 'em up and throw away the key" strategy has worked to prevent crimes, or instead has only worked to increase the cost of prisons and the number of citizens incarcerated at great expense to the public. Even Gov. Rick Perry, after having stood by and at least approved legislation to allow various boards of regents to increase college tuition at their will, now expresses concern and demands that colleges figure out a way to grant a $10,000 four-year degree.
Texas and Texans deserve responsible, visionary leadership, not simply political platitudes and pandering to individual greed and paranoia about our state government's future.
