Who Will Bail Out the U.S. Government?
Andy Abraham | September 18, 2008
In my blog, I thought I was being facetious when I asked the following rhetorical question:
Who will bail out the U.S. Government?
I believe anything can happen, but after digging deeper, I realized there are some serious issues here.
The U.S. government has enormous money problems of its own. The government is much greater in debt than AIG (AIG), Fannie Mae (FNM), and who knows who is else could be next. The national debt currently stands at approximately $9.634 trillion, which is a mind-boggling number! What is also worse this huge number has grown four trillion dollars over the current Bush administration. Now, put into perspective the interest that we, the taxpayers must pay.
How About 230 Billion dollars a year!
Worse yet, the federal deficit for this fiscal year ending September 30 is expected to be in the range of $400 billion – close to the all-time high.
My simple question is where is this going to end?
Have you looked at Tuesday's short-term interest rates? The three-month rates are sickening. Everyone is running to them seeking security. It is possible that the consensus is that these financial companies such as AIG are too big to fail. Is it because of their derivative exposures, which are unregulated with now questionable counterparty risks? There is only about 62 trillion dollars of these floating around.
I love the statement that Dana Perino came out with on Tuesday:
The free market is alive and well. We have systems in place here in our country to be able to deal with shocks to the system like this.
I would not like to see the faces of people standing in line trying to take their money out of the bank. She forgot an important issue: How much money does the FDIC have? It has something like $50 billion, but is that really enough to guarantee $100K for every depositor? I care to disagree. Just look IndyMac Bank (IMB) blew up and took down approx $10 billion. Don't worry, as we are not alone. England is the same shape – if not worse.

I will give two talks that should be about 30 minutes each. The first is to help prepare for the Octoberfest in Ottawa next weekend, while the second is the talk I gave at the AMS meeting in Baltimore in Jan., 2014. This is all joint work with John Kennison and Bob Raphael. Titles and abstracts of each follow:
1. Limit closures of some full subcategories
The three subcategories are:
1. Metric spaces inside the category of separated uniform spaces.
2. Integrally closed domains inside the category of commutative rings.
3. Integral domains inside the category of commutative rings.
2. Completions of subcategories of domains
The subcategories of domains include the 2nd and 3rd above, as well as many others. The central hypothesis is that every domain lies inside a field belonging to the subcategory in question.

San Zeno di Montagna
San Zeno di Montagna is at 680m on the western side of Monte Baldo just a few kilometres from Verona. Once reknowned as a microclimate, it is a place to discover with its wonderful situation halfway between lake and mountain and it's temperate climate that is rarely too cold or humid.
The town of San Zeno di Montagna
Its former name of Montagna del Monte Baldo changed over the years to become San Zeno in the early 1800s thanks to the reverent following of Saint Zeno spread by saints Benigno and Caro. Its reputation is as the "Balcony of Lake Garda": everywhere you turn there is a different view.
Looking down you will see beautiful Lake Garda from south to north, numerous olive groves and moraine hills. Looking up, the pine forests, chestnut forests, green pastures and the peaks of Monte Baldo.
The districts of San Zeno di Montagna
Entering the town gives you straight away an idea of its length; there is no proper main square, but Piazza Ca' Schena, near the church is a focal point of the town. Extending itself from north to south is what characterizes the town and inhabitants call this "pont de sora" e "pont de soto" because of the north bridge called delle Fontane that delimits the discricts located north (de sora) to the one in the south (de soto).
This small town consists of plenty of districts, each with its own name, connected by the main road; these districts are signed by brown fingerposts.
There were family groups living in these districts but kept separated by fields or woods and now with the hotels and big villas growing up with tourism they look more united. Typically, the houses are of stone with external stairs, fountains, stables and barns.
Even now "Festa del Senturel" takes place and people use the occassion to battle through the town streets in bowls competitions. In the evenings during summer some cinema and theater events are organized in the district's squares.
The most famous district is called Ca' Montagna, near the town hall, where you can visit the oldest building owned by Montagna family and containing frescoes from 1400.
Here you can get a description (into italian) of any of the disctricts in San Zeno.
Sport in San Zeno di Montagna
From San Zeno di Montagna and Prada you can start lots of trails suitable for every level of fitness and expertise, some easy and flat with pic-nic facilities while others are longer and harder which lead you to the top of Monte Baldo.
The typical signs of San Zeno are green coloured instead of being red and the horizontal signs are red/yellow instead of red/white. While going up to the top of Monte Baldo, you will encouter the typical red and white striped signs: some are missing so watch out for the horizontal ones and the stone cairns.
Chair lifts from Prada/Costabella are closed.
It's easy to understand that San Zeno territory is the perfect playground for outdoor sport lovers such as trekking, mountain biking, running, nordic walking or alpine skiing. From Monte Belpo, located in Lumini, it is possible to take off with a paraglider all year and day long, landing in Costermano.
The area is known for horse excursions and Jungle Adventure Park, the first Italian adventure park that joins rides and nature.
Here's how they introduce themselves:
Who knows if Robin Hood is in the Woods or not? Who ever dreamed of being Tarzan in the jungle?
Jungle Adventure was the first active park realized in Italy by a French idea joining amusment park with nature in the woods.
It calls itself active because it combines fun with physical activity and that means you require both strength and coordination skills. It takes places in the open air..."
Here is all the information.
In San Zeno di Montagna you can enjoy a calm and relaxed atmosphere surrounded by amazing nature between lake and mountain.

Re "This missing word makes gas tax campaign misleading" (Thomas Elias, July 19):
Tom Elias' column on the Proposition 6 gas tax repeal initiative was wrong on so many levels, and the record must be set straight.
First, the Yes on Prop. 6 gas tax repeal campaign has been clear that our initiative will repeal the recently enacted gas and car tax hikes — saving the typical family of four more than $700 a year in unnecessary taxes. That's not mere pennies per gallon — it is real money for Californians who are already struggling with a sky-high cost-of-living.
Second, Elias fails to tell readers that the Yes on Prop. 6 campaign has a better alternative solution to fixing the roads without a tax hike. In fact, prior to the latest gas tax hike, Californians already paid some of the highest gas taxes in the nation.
Unfortunately, the politicians continue to divert the money from roads and what little money is left is wasted. Our alternative solution fixes that problem with a real citizens lock box — not a phony one written by politicians.
Elias should have done his homework, but he didn't. We urge you to do your homework by getting the facts at GasTaxRepeal.org.
— Carl DeMaioThe letter writer is chairman of the Yes on Prop. 6 campaign.
Taxpayers bear brunt of prepaying ballot postage
California Assembly Bill 216, just signed by Gov. Jerry Brown, will go into effect in January 2019 after he is out of office.
This bill requires all counties to prepay the postage on all absentee ballots. The counties will then have to bill the state for reimbursement and the state budget (our tax dollars) will bear the brunt of this new expense, which will go into the millions of dollars.
Keep in mind also, folks, that the state wants to expand the pilot program so that all registered voters will receive an absentee ballot, which would raise that cost to us by multi-millions.
Another example of signing a law in haste without regard to the voting public that will have serious negative results to our pocket books. Once again, we had no say in whether it was passed or not.The Legislature passed so many laws at the last days of their session that they couldn't all be read, absorbed and (if warranted) protested.

Our group does not come up in "search for a group" - 52 views
started by Jamie Rykse on 23 Feb 11
#1 Jamie Rykse on 23 Feb 11When other staff wish to join our group use the "search for a group" , our group name does not appear. Instead they get "There are no suitable groups".
Our group setting does have "List this group in the search results" turned on.
I am able to send the group link to someone and they are able to use it to join. I would like staff members to be able to use the search instead of having to email me for the direct link.
The who can view setting I have tried setting to public and private. Both settings do not make a difference in someone being able to find the group.
What am I missing?
#2 sandy_diigo on 24 Feb 11>>>Our group setting does have "List this group in the search results" turned on.
The setting is not effective immediately.It may have some delay.
#3 Josep Vila on 27 Feb 11He dado de alta a un nuevo grupo, cuando hago su búsqueda en Diigo no me lo encuentra. En el apartado de edición en "Who Can view" tengo marcado "Public - all can view"; a "Searchable", tengo marcado "List this group in the search results" y en el apartado "How to join", "Open - anyone can join". ¿Me puede ayudar alguien? ¿De qué manera puedo conseguir que el grupo que administro pueda ser encontrado en cualquier búsqueda dentro de Diigo, por Nombre/Título del grupo? Muchas gracias.
#4 Jamie Rykse on 28 Feb 11The group was created on 13 Jan 2011. It has never came up in search. I again tried today and it still does not show up in search results.
When you search for a group, isn't it looking at possible group name matches? I can not seem to figure out why our group name does not show up when searching for a group.
#5 Josep Vila on 28 Feb 11He released a new group, when I do your search on Diigo is not me. In the editing section "Who Can view" I have marked "Public - all can view" to "Searchable", I have labeled "List this group in the search results"and in "How to join", "Open - Anyone can join". Can you help me someone? How I can get the group I manage can be found in any search within Diigo, by Name / Title of the group? Thank you very much.
#6 sandy_diigo on 01 Mar 11We have fixed this issue.Please check it.
#7 Josep Vila on 01 Mar 11I've tested and works correctly. Thank you very much for your help
#8 Jamie Rykse on 02 Mar 11It is also working for our group as well. Thank you.

Some day, we Iraqis hope to celebrate an Independence Day like the one Americans have just observed. But for the near future we face the challenge of translating liberation into democracy -- a goal we Kurds will push for even more diligently now that we have agreed to join the interim Iraqi administration that will be formed this month. To that end, we will work closely with the United States to establish security, revive the economy and build a democratic culture.
Our aims may appear optimistic with American and British forces struggling to establish order and restore public services in some areas of Iraq. Yet the picture is not quite as grim as some claim. The assaults on American soldiers are not ''resistance to foreign occupation.'' Rather, they are acts of terrorism by the Baathist remnants of the Saddam Hussein regime. These remnants are so reviled in Iraq that they have had to resort to foreign volunteers, for few Iraqis will take up arms on their behalf.
Since they lack the support of the people, the Baathists will be defeated -- a process that can be accelerated if we establish a national security force. That would be one major step toward making Iraq safer.
But another security problem, widespread looting, requires more than just better policing. The looting has its roots in economic problems. Iraq's economy is largely moribund. The wages paid by the coalition are often not enough to make ends meet. Exporting oil will help, but what Iraq really needs is comprehensive economic reforms to encourage investment. We applaud the moves, announced this week by American officials, to create a new Iraqi currency and restructure the central bank, as a welcome start to such reforms.
One simple way to improve the economy in our part of Iraq, Kurdistan, is to ensure that the Kurds receive the money allocated to them by the United Nations oil-for-food program. It is a scandal that $4 billion destined for the Kurds sits, unused, in a United Nations-controlled French bank account because of past obstruction by Saddam Hussein and the present incompetence of the United Nations bureaucracy. The delays by the United Nations are particularly frustrating because of rules that require the money to go into a general Iraqi development fund if it isn't spent by October. We have repeatedly sought assurances from the coalition that this money will not be lost to Iraqi Kurdistan. So far, the coalition response has been unclear.Continue reading the main story
Let us be clear, however. We are not seeking lavish handouts from American taxpayers or the international community -- we are asking only for what is rightfully ours. And any perception that the Kurds, the United States' closest ally in Iraq, are being let down will dishearten the many other Iraqis who want to work with the United States.
Not releasing that money also means not addressing a critical issue of justice -- reversing decades of ethnic cleansing that has forced close to one million people in Iraqi Kurdistan from their homes. Just a small fraction of the oil-for-food money would finance the return of many of those who were evicted, and pay for the decent resettlement of the Arabs who took over their land. Thus far we have averted the chaos of a flood of displaced families trying to return home by counseling patience to the Kurds, Turkmens and Assyrian Christians who were forced out. This patience, however, is not infinite. In the coming months we want to work with the coalition to set up a fair, transparent mechanism to allow these people to come home.
Thus far, the coalition has taken important steps toward promoting democracy. But aspects of the overall strategy remain vague. What Iraqis have learned from their encounters with American soldiers and officials is that they seek to democratize, not to dominate. While we are working with L. Paul Bremer III, the American occupation administrator, to set up constitutional councils to initiate the political process, we need to mark out a clear path toward national elections and representative government, so that Iraqis have some sense of certainty about their political future. One positive development is that the main Iraqi political groups have been able to reach consensus on the next stage of self-governance in Iraq.
Also crucial to realizing President Bush's vision of a democratic Iraq is his, and our, belief in a federal Iraq. For too long, both Baathist and Arab nationalist regimes held Iraq together by brute force. That is no longer an option. Iraq was a state imposed upon its inhabitants, a country whose preservation has cost too many lives. The new Iraq has to be different, a democratically created state that reflects the will of its peoples and accommodates their diversity. For that reason, and with United States backing, we advocate a federal system of government. Iraqi federalism will of course differ from that of the United States, but the fundamental principle will be the same: a balanced system of government with considerable local autonomy and a sovereign, federal center.
Democracy in Iraq will take time to establish itself. For more than three decades, Iraqis endured a regime that carried out genocide, including the anti-Kurdish Anfal campaign of 1987-88, which littered the country with mass graves and ''disappeared'' hundreds of thousands. Iraq was a society where the faintest hint of dissent could lead to a death sentence, as the Kurds gassed in Halabja discovered.
The first building blocks of Iraqi federalism and democracy have already been laid in Iraqi Kurdistan. Thanks to protection from American and British air power, facilitated by Turkey, Kurds have had 12 years of a sometimes faltering, but ultimately hopeful, experiment in self-rule, openness and pluralism. With continued help from the United States, and with our work on the interim Iraqi administration, what has become known as the Kurdish experiment in democracy can be a model for all of Iraq.Continue reading the main story

The other day Donald Trump twitted a message that had the typed characters "covfefe" included in it and this apparently sent Americans into apoplectic fits trying to figure out what this message meant. So I went to twitter and retrieved a twit by Donald Trump and posted it here. It appears Donald Trump meant "coverage" and it was hilarious watching Americans twitter themselves to death trying to decipher what this tweet meant. Also included is a video clip Life Accordion To Trump. A nation of twitters.
Who can figure out the true meaning of "covfefe" ??? Enjoy!

Determining Your Digital Camera Preferences
It wasn't so hard for people to buy cameras back in the old days. They only had a few different camera choices. Now that digital cameras are being sold, there are more varieties to choose from, therefore making it a harder choice. Advanced technology, new features, higher capabilities, and multiple functions are just some of the new terms that you will hear when discussing camera choices. With such a wide array of features to choose from, purchasing a camera is not an easy task. Fortunately there are a few things that will help sort out the confusion for you.
First and foremost you need to sit down and analyze your needs. What are you really looking for in a camera? What do you plan on using if for? Where do you plan on using it? Your answers to these questions will help you close in on the camera of your choice. If, for example, you plan to take pictures of everyday life with your friends, a lightweight camera that can fit in your pocket might be best. For professionals any old camera will not suffice; instead, they need to focus on advanced features that will help enhance the images that they click. If you know how you are going to use the camera, your options will be easier to choose from.
Your budget is a big determining factor in which camera you buy. It is pointless to tease yourself with an expensive, high end camera if your budget cannot stretch that far. You can find a solid, affordable camera that will take great pictures in the lower price range. If you do not have much use for the features touted by higher end cameras, there is no point in stretching your finances to purchase one. However, it is also important to make sure that you get a camera with adequate features to meet your needs. Second-hand, high-end cameras which come onto the resale market as newer models become available are a perfect solution to the cost versus features dilemma.
Resolution is an important consideration when choosing a camera. The clarity of the photo when enlarged or printed out is determined by the amount of megapixels the resolution has. The majority of casual photographers can get away with using a camera that has four megapixels. Advanced users will want to use a camera with higher megapixels.
What do megapixels mean for your pictures? With megapixels you can enlarge your pictures for printing. For instance, the higher the megapixels, the larger you can make your prints and still have a clear picture. It can then be cropped to suit the needs of the photographer, which often results in a dynamic photo which otherwise would have been too small or far away.
The zoom feature is another important technical aspect to be researched before investing in a camera. Focus only on optical, not digital zoom when comparing lens abilities, since digital results in a pixelated image. Zoom feature can enlarge or increase the proximity of the subject. Therefore, a 3X zoom can make an image appear three times as large or as close as it really is. Getting a decent zoom capability along with adequate resolution will make a huge difference in how far-away images appear.
Beginning your camera purchasing decision with an assessment of your needs and budget, as well as the analysis of a few technical aspects, will narrow the field considerably. Reading online reviews and asking avid photographers will also carry you far toward a final decision. After all is said and done, your picture-taking needs are not going to be the same as the needs of anyone else. It is worth your time to carefully examine all of your digital camera choices before you hit the stores.

In this newsletter: Our mission; RX for the common litter; True then; true today; Spring sprung March 8; Staying the course; April full of Redd Ups; goals already exceeded; Dates set for fall Redd Up with PMADD; Joe Bonadio is in good company; Brookline's Edgebrook dump disappearing; Hollow Oak needs volunteers; Monaca does more than two Redd Ups; Beaver County tireless days; Signup for a Redd Up Zone; DumpBusters training; Report mailbox graffiti; "61 free Sunday PGs litter on my block"; "I Litter" Awards; Garbagevilles; Important phone numbers; Great Litter Count in the UK; The last word
Our mission is to inspire people throughout the city and region to collect litter and connect neighborhoods.
G + litter = Glitter. Let's make it happen. Start with a Zero Litter ENFORCEMENT model in one neighborhood against the four causes of most litter: everyday litter, illegal dumping, overflowing, uncovered and inadequate waste containers and littered storefront sidewalks in neighborhood business districts.
A dear friend of mine, Arthur Spiegel, a resident of Pocusset St. in Squirrel Hill at the time, wrote a letter (co-signed by 10 neighbors) to Mayor Caliguiri, 27 years ago in 1987. He had suggestions to curb what he called "the serious deteriorating situation -- clutter, debris and garbage" in an area in his neighborhood. He found that letter recently and shared it with me. Mr. Spiegel's suggestions then are what Citizens Against Litter is asking for today to curb litter causes all over the city -- Zero Litter ENFORCEMENT.
Spring came early for Mr. Litterman. March 8 was a great day. Finally. So I began picking up litter on my street and in my neighborhood. What a great feeling to see litter disappearing from the street to my picker upper and into plastic supermarket bags. Hundreds of you have been doing the same thing as the weather improves. Please keep it up. March has been our spring training like the Pirates, whose 2014 season is finally underway for real. It's Redd Up time.
A Stanton Heights volunteer reported last month that spring came early for him as he picked up two bags of litter on his stay-at-home-vacation.
There are all kinds of anti-litter and beautification events this month, peaking with the annual spring Redd Up Friday, Saturday and Sunday, April 25-27. Earth Day is Tuesday, April 22.
However, many communities do their cleanups at other times. For example, Duquesne University student volunteers will work with South Side Flats, South Side Slopes, Hill District groups (Middle Hill, Lower Hill, Crawford Roberts, Bedford Dwellings and Schenley Heights) and Uptown for their Redd Ups on Saturday, April 12.
Citizen Against Litter was looking for 250 city neighborhoods, outside communities and groups to sign up and recruit as many as 15,000 to 20,000 volunteers. Based on past results, reaching those goals would result in the removal of more than 250 tons of litter, trash and several thousand tires.
Following are committed participants that we know of. We're already beyond the 250 goal. Is your community among the committed? Let us know. There's still time to organize a group and participate. Or if you're a lone volunteer and want to connect with an existing group, contact us. Chances are good we can put you in touch with the right people. Call 412-688-9120 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

The fall Redd Up dates will be October 17-19. Pitt Make a Difference Day will be Saturday, October 18. That's the day busloads of student volunteers from the University join local volunteers in many Pittsburgh neighborhoods and Allegheny County communities for a day of service involving litter cleanup and beautification projects. "More information will follow," said Boris Weinstein, "but identifying the dates now is important for community calendars." Pitt Make a Difference Day has partnered with Citizens Against Litter since 2008 and has brought thousands of Pitt volunteers into our neighborhoods.
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported last month that Pittsburgh City Council honored Joe Bonadio with a proclamation for decades of volunteer work in his Beechview neighborhood. The proclamation praises 90-year-old Bonadio for maintaining seven city lot gardens and regularly cleaning streets. The Pittsburgh area is blessed to have many like Joe Bonadio who step up and keep their communities litter-free. Said Joe, "To tell you the truth, I don't know why they gave me this proclamation, because all I do is take care of my street."
The following originated from Councilwoman Natalia Rudiak's District 4 Newsletter (Feb.) and appeared in the Brookline neighborhood newsletter for March.
"Allegheny CleanWays DumpBuster program has made significant progress at the Edgebrook Avenue work site. Over January and February, with a total of 141 volunteer hours, they've removed almost 2,000 tires! Their work will continue into the spring to get the remaining tires and trash. Cleaning up this dump site is not just about removing trash after the fact, but also about preventing the potential for dumping. My office is working with Missy Rosenfeld, the anti-litter coordinator, to find locations for security cameras, funded by local foundation grants, to discourage littering in the future.
"Thanks to Joe Divack and all the folks with the DumpBuster program, which was recently profiled by Unsung: The Non-Profit News Show? Check out the piece on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XvmJwkvYDE.
"Of course, Edgebrook Ave. is also known for being a narrow, woodsy road that sees way more vehicle traffic than it can handle. In many places, Edgebrook is deteriorating, and natural springs have even been known to pop up out of the asphalt. It goes without saying that potholes are a problem here, too. For all these reasons, Edgebrook Ave. is a #1 priority for my office and the new mayoral administration's Public Works Department. Volunteers are needed now through the spring and summer."
Hollow Oak Land Trust is looking for at least 20 volunteers to help plant 160 native trees and scrubs on April 19 at the Montour Woods Conservation Area. The work is planned along Meeks Run stream in the conservative area in Moon, and Hollow Oak leaders say it may be the largest habitat restoration project the trust has undertaken. Details are at http://www.paconserve.org/300.
Patty Majors from Monaca shares an update:
"Monaca in Beaver County will again be participating. However our major spring clean up will most likely take place at the end of March or early in April. Our Redd Up program continues as needed from March through November, usually once a month along roadways and twice a week in our borough. This involves trash pickup along roadsides and maintenance of sustainable plantings in our borough's streetscape islands and parks along with general maintenance of the downtown business district. We have 8 adult volunteers and utilize help from youth on community service."
Victoria Michaels writes in with an upcoming event:
"Independence Conservancy in Beaver County has two community tire collections confirmed for this spring. There will probably be two more also. Here's a link to the schedule on our website: http://bit.ly/1ffzmvC
"Since this program's inception in 2004, we've properly disposed of 32,457 tires and wheels from municipalities in four western PA counties."
Looking for a worthwhile neighborhood project? Businesses, corporations and groups are invited to adopt their own Pittsburgh street or zone and agree to pick up litter at least four times a year for the next two years. For information call 412-255-2280 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Allegheny CleanWays DumpBusters have cleared illegal dumpsites all over the city -- including a few in Polish Hill. They're always looking for more volunteers to help with this physically demanding work. Contact them for detail about registering for training and volunteering at 412-381-1301 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Pittsburgh Postmaster Dan Davis invites citizens to be proactive and call the Postal Service at 412-359-7845 to report mailbox tagging or boxes in need of repair. Help the postal service by giving them specific information of locations and crossing streets.
A self-described "frustrated litter hater" shares his opinion on the Post-Gazette Sunday Extra, a monthly winner of our "I Litter" awards:
"The night of the Oscars I picked up 61 Post Gazette free Sunday papers littering my block. How can I make it clear (to them) that this is totally unacceptable?
"I live in the 200 block of S. St Clair St. in East Liberty and there are only 20 houses on my street. I personally have unsubscribed from this paper 3 times, but they only stopped delivering it after I quite literally handed the paper back to the delivery person one Sunday morning and asked them not to deliver to my residence."
Advertising and promotional materials turn into litter in Shadyside and elsewhere. Businesses and sometimes non-profits are often responsible when they put their business on Shadyside streets. There's less of this going on. March's top litterers are the Post-Gazette Sunday Extra (natch) and Pesaro's Pizza.
Garbagevilles are houses, buildings, streets and places that are a mess. Some because of litter; some because of unswept leaves; some because of trash and junk on their property. Some because garbage cans sit in the front of their houses. Many because of the absence of lids on garbage cans and open waste containers. Some of these Garbagevilles in Shadyside are always a mess. This is an incomplete list of course.
Need to contact the city about something that's been bothering you, like potholes and graffiti? Call the 311 Response line (alternate number is 412-255-2621). Your request will be logged and sent to the proper department. Want to contact someone directly? The following list may help.
In a two week period in February, counters in Britain went through streets, gutters and alleys, up and down hills and dales and came up UK's top littering brands for 2011. We picked off the list from the This Week in Litterland, a Canadian newsletter. Their list is not too much different than what counters would find in the U.S. Here goes: McDonald's (13%), Cadbury (6%), Greggs (6%), Wrigley (5%), Coca Cola (5%), Mars (5%), Unbranded pizza, fish & chips, kebob boxes (5%), Cigarettes: Marlboro, Philip Morris (4%), Lambert and Butler Imperial (4%), Tobacco (3%), Subway (3%).
Remember. Rome wasn't redd up in a day either.

I often find myself pondering the many ways in which Rotarians seem to ignore the most basic and fundamental rules followed by virtually all successful businesses. I can't tell you why this occurs on such a routine basis, I only know that it does. Today's rant is about one of most persistent failures of sales and marketing common sense that I see over and over again in my Rotary travels. It has to do with following up a membership event.
Rotarians are pretty good at planning events, and membership events are no exception. I'm often asked to speak at these events, which take the form of "new member meetings," "open happy hours," or a "new member social." You know what I mean. Members bring guests to a "safe" environment where they will be introduced to Rotary on very positive terms. They will hear from Rotary speakers about our unique value proposition, they will enjoy some fellowship and good cheer, and they will learn about a club's commitment to community service. We do a pretty good job at these events, at least in my opinion. There are a lot of positive vibes by the end of the evening. Whey then, do Rotarians often feel so betrayed when so few attendees actually join their club after the event?
Don't believe me? Here is a quick video of Shelley Yore, a recent attendee at a Rotary Club of Columbia Patuxent membership event. Could anyone sound more positive about Rotary than Shelley? Do you think she will actually join the club?
The answer almost always lies in the details of what happens, or more accurately, doesn't happen, after the event. Because when asked about the follow-up to a membership event, too often the answer is very casual. Let's just say, we could do a lot better. Lets walk through the basics of what to do, and what not to do, after your next membership event so that you can improve the number of attendees that eventually join your club. Remember, the goal isn't to have a wonderful event. The goal is to increase membership!
1. Get the contact information for every attendee. It is not hard to get this information from people who are typically eating and drinking on your nickel. A simple spreadsheet of names and email addresses is the very basic minimum. Just put a sign-up sheet by the door when they enter the event venue AND have someone there to make sure they sign in. (NOTE: Have the person asking guests to sign in give out the free drink tickets.) If you don't have the contact information of your guests by the end of your membership event, then you've simply wasted your time. I repeat. If you don't have the contact information for every guest who attends then you will only close the lowest hanging fruit of prospects who attend.
2. Enter the guest information into a simple database. Nowadays virtually everyone has access to simple and inexpensive contact management software. If you are serious about SYSTEMATICALLY adding members to your club, at a minimum add the prospect's classification information and the potential sponsoring member's information to the data base. Lacking a database, at least add a few columns to your spreadsheet and add the information there.
3. Figure out what you are offering your prospective new member(s) as a follow up to your event. Are you asking them to join you at the next club social – which is preplanned and has a date already reserved? Do you want them to visit your website? OK. Do you want them to visit the club this week? Next week? When? How about joining you at your next service event? Again – the event should already be planned with a date already set. This offer constitutes your first "close" with the prospect. Make it clear to everyone in the club that this (whatever "it" is) is the action step you are going to to use to quantify the success of your event. NOTE: Closing for membership is OK at your membership event, but some would worry you were being a little pushy. Just keep this in mind, at SOME POINT you are going to close your prospect to join the club. I wouldn't recommend more than two action steps before closing. If you don't ask, then don't expect them to join.
4. Follow up with your guests IMMEDIATELY after your event with a thank you message. IMMEDIATELY after the event. Not two weeks, four weeks, two months, or six months. IMMEDIATELY. A simple email thanking them for coming to your event and expressing how much you enjoyed meeting them and introducing them to your club is fine. Pitch your next step, whatever it is. Consider hand writing the note on Rotary stationary. Aren't you impressed when someone takes the time to do that in a note to you?
5. Keep track of every prospect. Make certain that the Rotarians who invited guests are held personally accountable for the follow up and get the results into your spreadsheet or database. If you have ten guests come to a membership event, and only one or two take the next step in your closing process, then your membership committee (you have one…right?) must IMMEDIATELY discuss what it is about your Rotary product that isn't selling. When guests seem to have a great time at an introductory event, but then fail to close as a solid prospective new member, something might be wrong. I would guess a solid closing ratio is something like 50% of guests moving to the next step of your process.
6. Make sure you keep track of those guests at an event that CAN'T come to your follow up event. People have all kinds of valid excuses for not being able to pursue Rotary at this time. Put them on a separate mailing list and continue to send them the club's newsletter, interesting RI blogs, or interesting community news. You can steal fantastic articles of interest from the Rotarian magazine. Make sure this group is invited to EVERY membership event you hold thereafter, until they tell you to take them off of your mailing list. Every once in awhile have their prospective sponsor give them a call just to check in. If nothing else, invite them to your fundraiser, to buy raffle tickets, or whatever else you are pitching to raise money for your projects.
7. Figure out the path from initial membership event, to next step closing event (whatever it is) to asking the prospective member to join the club. Who will do the ask? When will they do it? Should it be just one person or should the membership chair join the sponsoring member? Should the ask be done over breakfast or lunch? After the meeting?
Believe me. There isn't one successful sales professional on this planet who doesn't regard every single qualified prospect as a very valuable asset. Sales pros live and breathe to close these prospects. Nothing is more important to them. Getting prospects to show up at an event is a MARKETING issue. But closing prospects after an event is a SALES issue.
When you can say – before you hold your membership event – who is going to attend, how you are going to track who they are, what you are going to ask them to do, when you are going to ask them to do it, how you are going to ask them, what percentage you expect to say yes, and who is responsible for the asking, THEN you are ready to pull the trigger on your membership event. Follow these rules and your close ratio is going to skyrocket!
OH..and if you follow all of the rules and prospective members are taking a close look at your Rotary club but still aren't joining, then it's time for you to take a hard look at your Rotary club. Maybe you have a little work to do to make your club's value proposition more interesting to prospective new members.

A small amount of bone marrow is removed during a bone marrow aspiration. The procedure is uncomfortable, but can be tolerated by both children and adults. The marrow can be studied to determine the cause of anemia, the presence of leukemia or other malignancy, or the presence of some storage diseases, in which abnormal metabolic products are stored in certain bone marrow cells.

Time has flown by since I photographed her big brother as a brand new baby.
I love seeing the resemblance between siblings and of course it's always so nice to see how these babies have grown after a couple years!
Sibling shots aren't always so easy and do sometimes involve a little trickery. The shot below is actually a composite. Big brother happens to be watching Paw patrol on an iPhone and later we got the shot of his little sister and put the two together. Safety first!
This little sweetheart has THREE big brothers, so I'm sure she'll be plenty safe!
The wedding dress shot was a special request by mom. Love when parents bring in special items to try to incorporate into their session!

A covering of the floor that is made up of an upper layer of pile fixed on a backing is referred to as a carpet. In the past years, the pile mainly consisted of wool.

A wide variety of floor covering exist thus making it tough to decide on one. Carpets and hardwood are the main competitors on the floor covering market. The advantages associated with the use of carpets is known by few people. Of all the types of floor covering existing in the market, carpets have the most advantages and the least drawbacks. In this article, you will find several benefits associated with the use of carpets for your floor.

It can make your room look luxurious, elegant, casual and comfortable. Different feels will be triggered depending on the style of the carpet.

Any person who had problems with their respiration was advised to remove any carpets from their house. Doctors are now aware of how advantageous carpets can be to respiratory health. Having a carpet in your house will make it less noisy. It is said that sound moves faster in a room that has no carpet.
In comparison to hardwood floors, carpeted floors are less slippery. Parents with young babies are advised to have carpets in babies' rooms. It is greatly advantageous to carpet your stairs. It can also be noted that it is cheaper to purchase a carpet than to install hardwood floors.
One of the reasons why you should use carpet is because they are associated with warmth. It has been proven that carpets can offer excellent insulation. When buying a carpet, it is important to note that all the carpets offer high insulation.

driftfinatic replied to driftfinatic's topic in General DiscussionLooking at e46 sedan 330i. Definitely wants a 3 series with the msport interior etc
E46 330i M73 V12 Manual Swap
driftfinatic posted a topic in General DiscussionHi guys long time no post. Ive been missing from the bmw world for a bit but Im back with a friend thats building the sedan. Here is the basic gst of whats going on and what we have going so far. BMW 330i sedan (looking to buy in next few weeks if any ones selling one hit me up) - M73 5.4 V12 - The super rare Getrag 560 6 speed, with the flywheel, clutch, and drive shaft (imported from the UK) - Link G4+ fury So now the fun begins. Basically its gotta be mounted up and thats going to take some work. My first question is, Does the 7 series cross member even pretend to fit the 3 series chassis? Any help and recommendations would be gladly accepted Cheers, Conrad
M73 V12 manual gearbox?
driftfinatic posted a topic in General DiscussionHey guys, Ive got a m73 V12 and im looking at doing a manual swap into a 5 series. I cant seem to find anything in the search about manual conversions for this motor. I realize ecu etc make it difficult but I have a link G4 that hopefully is good enough to run it. My question is what gearbox fits or can be adapted to fit this motor? Its mainly going to be road use but some track days eventually also. Cheers, Conrad

316i Alarm Install
driftfinatic posted a topic in Electrical systemSo ive been looking through these forums and through the electrical manual for e36 and it states that for installing an alarm there is a module behind the glove box, either in the form of the 12 pin plug or just the module. I recently opend mine up to install a simple unlock alarm and NONE of the modules or plugs exsit back there!!! All the manuals i have are for 318 and up. Has anyone come across a 316 sedan before with the same thinng?? Alternatively, can these modules be located else where?? It seems strange as the car has the bonnet sensor and siren already in the car but no alarm anywhere?? Alternatively can i install the unlock feature another way??
1997 316i electrical problems
driftfinatic replied to dr_sinist3r's topic in Electrical systemDid anyone ever work out if the 1997 316i has a zke??? i am having similar issues except i am trying to install a aftermarket alarm and as per above. i removed the glove box compartment i was surprised to see no zke or any other modules
I got the first one from a local euro specialist, and the other one ive got from ezy parts up in auckland
Your telling me lol. Ive had it at Jeff Grey BMW and they tell me the same sh*t it is ridiculous
The electrician told me that the codes needed to be cleared on the module in the original car for it to work in the car in was going into anyone know if this correct?
I really dont know. these pricks are starting to really piss me off! I ring them and they tell me they dont know!! I think im gunna bring it home tommorow. If you think you could help you could try talking to them Broadway Auto electrician (Speak to brian) (06)357 2600
ABS module problems
driftfinatic posted a topic in MaintenanceSo my beemas been in the local auto electrician for the past three weeks(going on four now) they have diagnosed it as a faulty abs module!!! So im on my 3rd replacement module now and still they are telling me my modules broken. Had it checked over by Jeff Grey BMW and they cant find the problem with the car either. They have told me they think the module in the car is the wrong one but when i asked them what module was suppose to be in there no one could help me??? WTF arnt they BMW specialists???? anyway, what i am wondering is, has anyone had a similar problem or maybe some insight for me(i have been told all wires are good, correct supply etc, dash is fine, relays are fine, wheel sensors are fine) also does anyone know the abs module for a 1997 E36 BMW 316i sedan?
Another airbag question
driftfinatic replied to driftfinatic's topic in Electrical systemIve had a closer look and i have realised that it is not the pretensioner wires that are unplugged its some other ones that come from inside the female end of the seat belt plug. my guess it they are actually nothing to do with the actual airbag system more of an seat belt warniing device.
Another airbag question
driftfinatic posted a topic in Electrical systemSo my car failed its wof cause the air bag light didnt come on. On closer inspection it was found that the air bag light is always on and someone has pulled it out so it dosent look like its on during the day but it is on all the time at night!!! So i was poking around the car and I realised that neither of the seat belts are plugged in and the wires are just floating around. my problem is i cant find the wires to plug the seat belt plugs into. i dont no if this is ment to be like this or what but both sides are not plugged and just cable tied out of the way.. 1997 E36 316i Manual
Heater Not Working
driftfinatic replied to mattgoldsbro's topic in MaintenanceIm having similar problems. but mine has a mind of its own. it has problems changing from say feet to windscreen. and the fan has a mind of its own. it wont blow on full and then i turn it down and itll go crazy. im so confused. also iv have got no heat either. grrrrrr
Seriously what is the point. I came her to get help not her your opinion. I know it is a little engine but that isnt the problem here. If you want to talk about hp and cc go do it on your own time. Silly little comments arent going to help me or any others that have similar symptoms. this is obviously a big issue with cars of this age as they are getting along. I brought this car off an elderly lady who wouldnt know an exhaust from a air filter. So I knew the service history wasnt going to be great. But to save the younger people or people that cant afford to spend a handfull of cash on there cars i started this topic because lets face it these things are over looked. I mean look at my car for instance told it was all these sensors but it probly is just the spark plugs. about 600 bux later. so i hope this topic can help people and i would greatly appreciate it if the silly comments where placed some where else. Thanks Conrad. By the way, i havent had time to install my sensor yet just moving house so i will post it when its done thanks
Yea i had it scanned by the local auto electrician and at the local bmw specilist. (jeff grey bmw). auto electrician brang it back with a faulty engine temp sensor(ecu) i replaced this and then it didnt go away. so i bit the bullet and took it to jeff greys and they came back with a faulty knock sensor. quoted me a sh*t load and told me i would have to wait three weeks to get a new one from germany. thankfully i got one through hellBM (thanks alot). so sometime this weekend ill fit it and then well see how it all goes. its running quite alot better at the moment, its very tempremental, so if this dont fix it ill chuck in some new plugs and leads and go from there. ill keep everyone updated.

Danny Welbeck trained on his own this morning as England were put through their paces ahead of the Holland friendly.
Arsenal striker Welbeck is just back after 10 months out with a knee injury and is unlikely to be involved tomorrow after playing against Germany on Saturday.
England boss Roy Hodgson split the players into two groups as he prepares to make ten changes tomorrow night.
It was largely two separate groups in keeping with who will play and
who will be rested.
Jamie Vardy wore camouflage boots as he prepares to start at Wembley.
Twenty one players trained with Jack Butland out with a broken ankle.
Training at Tottenham's base started late with traffic heavy on the M25 because of weather and a crash shut the road.
The team vs Holland is likely to be:
Forster; Walker Stones Jagielka Rose; Drinkwater Milner; Barkley; Walcott Sturridge Vardy

Go West
Richard Morsley had already owned a succession of 4x4s, all of them from Land Rover. But then he decided to head west across the Atlantic and buy a Jeep Cherokee instead. A great way to stand out from the crowd, sure – but how much off-road ability did he sacrifice in the process…?
If you're looking for a sound off-roader for not a lot of money, it won't be long before you find yourself thinking about the Jeep Cherokee. It's not the most hardcore of trucks (when it was launched in 1993, people compared it to the Volvo estate of the time), but it's got two live axles and a proper transfer case, and few 4x4s of any kind are more manoeuvrable in rough ground.
All these things stood in the Cherokee's favour when Richard Morsley was looking for a new vehicle. Most of all, though, what appealed to him was what it wasn't: a Land Rover.
'I went with the Jeep mainly to be different,' he admits. 'But also for its reliability. So far, I've had a Defender 90 200 Tdi, a Range Rover 3.9 Efi soft-dash and a Disco 200 Tdi, all modded up for off-roading. And to be honest, I've found its off-road capabilities to be the best out of all of them.'
When you hear people say that kind of thing, nine times out of ten they're talking about how they chose something Japanese. But despite being cheap to buy when it was new, and having a typically American approach to interior quality (that is to say, putting it at the bottom of the list), the Cherokee is actually a pretty dependable truck. The 4.0 straight-six petrol engine is bomb-proof, its transmission only tends to suffer problems if it's never put into four-wheel drive for years on end and though the Dana 30 front and 35c rear axles aren't famed for their strength when you take them crawling on super-grippy slickrock, you'd have to hit them with a combination of absurdly big tyres, a crass right foot and some properly haggard terrain to find them out in typical British conditions.
Being American, of course, the Cherokee benefits from there being loads and loads of kit available for modding it. And Richard's has… actually, not all that much. It looks pretty hefty, with a set of 33x12.50R15 Hankooks projecting a nicely menacing image from beneath their extended arches, but this is actually a good example of a truck that's had a sensible amount done to get the best from it without going mad.
You can get some pretty barmy lifts for the Cherokee, for example, but Richard has contented himself with just 3". This is achieved using longer coil springs up front – but at the back, where Cherokees of this era ran on leaves, the standard springs simply mount on dropped blocks to gain the extra height.
You wouldn't call this a shoestring build by any means, but Richard certainly doesn't believe in spending lots of money when spending less money is an option. The 4.0 engine's thirst is offset by an LPG conversion, for example, and the back axle runs a Spartan Locker – an auto unit closest in character to something like a Detroit or Lock-right, whose primary reputation back home in America is for dishing up a great performance at a supremely good price.
The front bumper, too, is simply a proprietary unit carrying a 12,000lb winch, all basic design and heavy-duty manufacture. There's no frills to it, but it does the job. At the back, meanwhile, you'll find the standard factory bumper – strong enough to take a knock, but if the truck gets beached in ruts it wouldn't be up to a lift-and-slew high-lift recovery.
One of the main advantages of a hardcore back bumper is that you can put a swing-away spare wheel carrier on it. The Cherokee left the factory with its spare mounted upright on one side of its boot, which did nothing for cargo space and makes life very uncomfortable if you're running a bigger size. Richard's solution is to carry it on a roof rack, which isn't ideal in terms of access or weight distribution but does the job perfectly well considering what the next cheapest alternative would be.
Beyond this, the list of what's original goes on and on. Chassis, engine, gearbox, transfer case, propshafts, brakes, steering – all are untouched. In the latter case, a steering guard aims to keep that as it is, and there's a pair of rock and tree sliders to keep the sills honest. Protection is a big deal for Richard, and he carries a range of tools for when he's off-roading and things go wrong.
There's a snorkel on the list to provide yet more peace of mind, and beneath those lavish extensions the original wheelarches have been trimmed back to make way for the big tyres. The Cherokee's monocoque construction means a body lift isn't possible, which leaves just this and the taller suspension to create whatever extra room is called for.
It's not the sort of never-ending spec list you see in these articles sometimes, but what Richard has done to the Cherokee is enough to enhance an honest off-road machine almost beyond recognition. And as we've already established, he's very happy with the results. 'The only downside is the cost and availability of parts. With Land Rover, you can get anything second-hand or cheap, but with Jeep it's difficult to find.'
Enough to put him off? Not a chance. Instead, he's already cooking up his ideas. 'My next plan is to upgrade the rear suspension to coils instead of leaf springs, and give it an extra 1" of lift on top of what it's already got. Also, I'm planning to add a winch bumper and winch to the rear of the car.'
Not exactly small projects, then, and this does have the feel of a Cherokee that's just setting out on the road to becoming a far bigger deal than it already is. Either that or Richard's just being pragmatic, enhancing what he can without pouring a load of money down the drain.
One thing you can be sure of, at any rate. If reading this tale of how easy it is to turn a basic Cherokee into a skilled off-road vehicle has whetted your appetite, you'll find that buying one of your own shouldn't cost you an arm and a leg. Unlike some of the Landies Richard used to own, this Jeep enters old age without holding its value to ridiculous levels or turning into some sort of latter-day classic. Perfect for modding – and, whether you want to go crazy or keep it super-sensible, a truck that's pretty much guaranteed to give you a good result.

This four day event, 27-30 January is the second of its type, only the final day is open to the public. Menara is the main airport, accessible to no-frills airlines and well connected to both France and Spain. There is a small flying club and a business jet ramp. The event is held on the northern, military side of the single runway and only a small portion is accessible to visitors. Photography is into the sun all day though the static display, although small and densely parked, is well lit, particularly in the morning.
There are outside vantage points to the south to improve the lighting of the flying display; which is brief and inconsistent. Three of the days enjoyed military fast jets, just a single pass from Alpha Jets and F-5s with Hercules. A Casa 235 dropped parachutists. The 'Green March' display team were particularly impressive, taking off tied together in two groups. It is primarily a trade show promoting Moroccan industry with some French and Spanish exhibitors. Being forward looking the emphasis was on future plans, hence the participation of a C130J, T6B, S92 and F16, all of which are either ordered or options to replace existing types. The based trainers, T-34Bs, AS202 Bravos and T-37Bs were all confined to an almost inaccessible hangar with the 12 withdrawn Magisters still in open store but out of sight of show visitors. Apart from some preserved examples the even earlier T-6 Texans lie derelict in a nearby compound. None of the many preserved airframes were accessible as only the show area had clearance for show attendees. Similarly the resident technical school was off limits.
There were a few general aviation aircraft on show, mainly from Diamond and Tecnam. The static included a good variety of Moroccan military helicopters though none were demonstrated. Given fair weather, one day is sufficient for coverage though another might allow the southern views to be explored. Although thoroughly policed the atmosphere was relaxed and very friendly, the bright sunshine making a welcome change from the northern European winter.

2018 Chevrolet Traverse Vs 2018 Buick Enclave for Yorkville, IL
2018 Chevrolet Traverse VS 2018 Buick Enclave– Pick the Best One!
With similar safety features, engine, driving performance, etc., the 2018 Buick Enclave VS the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse is a close match. Yet, the Traverse is considered to be a much better vehicle than the Buick. Clearly, there's more to the Chevrolet than meets the eye. For your benefit, we've compared both these luxury SUVs, in order to determine what exactly makes the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse better.
Ron Westphal in Lisle, IL has your new 2018 Chevrolet Traverse in stock. Come drive it home today!
Though a few of the safety features of the 2018 Buick Enclave and the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse are similar, the latter adds something extra. Along with the available OnStar technology, forward collision alert, front pedestrian braking and low speed automatic forward braking, the Traverse also has Surround Vision and Alerts that allows you to monitor your surroundings through rear cross traffic alert, surround vision, and a rear camera mirror. The car also has special technology to help it remain stable called StabiliTrak. It even has rear park assist and remote start.
This winter The all-new 2018 Chevrolet Traverse will serve you well on the Illinois roads. Come into Ron Westphal Chevy in Lisle, IL and drive home your new 2018 Chevy Traverse today!
Considered to be luxury SUV, the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse takes this title very seriously as is evident as soon as one sits inside the car. The opulent interior is a treat visually and experientially. Extremely spacious, this SUV can seat up to 7 people and still have a huge space for cargo. The aesthetically pleasing aspect of the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse comes from its beautiful leather seats, well-crafted console. On the other hand, while the makers of the 2018 Buick seem to have put in a lot of effort in the car itself, little attention seems to have been paid to the interior, as it looks quite dull. The elegant interior of the Chevrolet definitely gives it an edge over all its competitors.
Engine and Driving Performance
When it comes to performance, the Traverse is a class apart. Not only does it give a city mileage of 18 mpg, it also gives a highway mileage of 26 mpg. The smooth handling and the easy acceleration of this vehicle is another thing altogether. The car is extremely easy to handle and remains in your control at all times. The 9-speed automatic transmission and the traction control add to the driving performance of this vehicle, making it a treat to drive. Though the Buick also has similar technology, its uneven acceleration and handling take away from the vehicle.
The engine of the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse is a 3.6L V6 SIDI VVT engine and is a powerful piece of machinery. It gives 310 horsepower and 266 torque, making it among the best vehicles in its category.
Driving Features
The driving features of the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse are what add a something extra to the SUV. This vehicle has features that make the control of the vehicle easy even in the toughest driving conditions. The off-road driving feature allows you to drive on any terrain be it gravel, grass or sand. It also has two modes called the snow and 4×4 modes that make driving much easier on slippery, snow-covered roads and help the car stay stable as well as stay in control. Along with the FWD feature and smart/stop technology that helps with fuel efficiency, the vehicle also has a traction mode select feature that allows you to change the performance of your vehicle on the basis of the road. It is interesting to note that despite being of a similar make, the 2018 Buick Enclave offers none of these features. If you compare the two vehicles this makes the Buick far more unstable and difficult to control. The 2018 Buick Enclave VS the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse is definitely won by the latter.
