Planning your move
When should I arrange a quotation?
It is important not to leave your search for an international relocation company until the last minute. Give yourself plenty of time to arrange relocation quotations, appoint a relocation company and finalize all of your arrangements.
We recommend you make contact a minimum of twelve weeks prior to your planned moving date.
How is the cost calculated?
The cost of sea freight and road freight shipments are based on the total volume of your goods. This is calculated by multiplying the length, breadth and height of the items to give a total volume in cubic feet.
Air freight shipments are calculated on either the actual gross weight or the volume weight of the goods, whichever is greatest.
Your Relocation Consultant will be able to accurately measure your goods at the time of the in-home consultation and provide a relocation quotation based on this measurement.
What does the quote include?
No two relocations are the same, so Crown's quotation will be specifically tailored to your individual requirements.
The following are always included:
- Supply of all new packing materials
- Packing of your household goods and personal effects by trained, experienced packers
- Preparation of an itemized inventory
- Collection from your home
- Crating/containerization and delivery to the terminal
- Preparation of all export documentation and all import documentation for the completion of Customs and Agricultural Clearances
- Payment of terminal charges
- Delivery direct to store/residence within a 50km radius of the destination port
- Unpacking and clearance of all waste materials on day of delivery, as required.
The quotation will exclude any import duties or taxes due in various countries, quarantine examinations if ordered or storage if required.
Your Relocation Consultant will be happy to explain this to you during the in-home consultation.
How far ahead should I book?
Ideally, you should confirm dates as soon as possible, as dates are often booked up well in advance.
Crown Relocations will always aim to match the dates you require, but please keep in mind that some days (particularly Fridays) are busier and more expensive than others, so it will help if you can be flexible.
Does Crown offer a worldwide relocation service?
Crown Relocations has offices in 204 locations in 53 countries, all of which are linked by a common operating system.
During a relocation, the Crown office at origin and the Crown office at your destination continuously share important information in order to ensure the relocation is a success.
All commitments made prior to departure will be carried out by dedicated Crown staff at the other end of the move.
What are Crown's quality standards?
Crown has earned ISO certification in the majority of its worldwide locations.
External quality audits are carried out by ISO representatives on a regular basis, ensuring that standards are upheld and our customers always receive a high-quality service.
Our pursuit of the highest possible quality service has led Crown to develop the QUEST Quality Management Program. With our history and knowledge of the relocation industry, Crown has been able to create a system that sets the standard for quality.
Does Crown offer Goods in Transit insurance?
While Crown's professional crews will always securely pack your belongings, it is important to remember that your goods will be traveling by ship, plane, truck or other mode of transport—each of which carries inherent risks.
For your peace of mind, we offer CrownCare, transit insurance that provides full replacement cost coverage on a door-to-door, all-risks basis.
As well as offering lump sum or full detailed inventory options, additional protection is available to cover pairs and sets, electrical and mechanical derangement and damage through mold and mildew.
Moving day
Are any items prohibited from my shipment?
Each country has its own restrictions, but as a general rule, the following items should not be included in your shipment:
- Alcohol
- Firearms and ammunition
- Foodstuffs, including herbs and spices
- Hazardous items (including adhesives, ammonia, bleaches, chlorine, detergents, disinfectants, dyes, flammables, gas cylinders, insecticides, mercury thermometers, methylated spirits, paints, pesticides, photographic chemicals, pressure packs, thinners)
- Items made from endangered animals
- Unprocessed furs, skins
- Plants, dried flowers, bulbs, seeds
- Pornographic material
- Soil or sand of any kind
- Swords, spears, switchblades.
Please note that the above list is not exhaustive and Crown Relocations will be able to advise you of further prohibited items for individual countries.
Do I need to do anything to prepare for the packing day?
Crown's expert team of packers will take care of everything on the day.
Prior to their arrival:
- Dispose of any items you do not wish to take with you
- Clear out the garage, attic and basement
- Disconnect and defrost refrigerators and freezers
- Drain washing machine
- Remove fixtures and fittings from walls
- Thoroughly clean all outdoor equipment.
Remember to keep separate any items you will need to take with you when traveling, including passports, money, travel documents, important paperwork, jewelry, valuables and suitcases.
Crown's Relocation Planner contains plenty of helpful hints to prepare for your relocation and will be left with you at the time of your in-home consultation.
Will Crown pack and unpack all of my possessions for me?
Crown's packing teams will expertly pack and wrap your goods ready for shipment.
All packers are fully trained and will make sure your possessions are well protected and perfectly safe throughout the entire process of your relocation.
At destination we will unpack your goods and dispose of any debris on delivery day at your new residence.
The crew uses a color-labeling system at origin and destination to match packages with rooms. Color-coded cards, hung on doors at the destination residence, are matched to like-colored stickers on cartons, simplifying the delivery and unpacking process.
Can I pack any of my possessions myself?
For security reasons, many countries no longer accept shipments that are packed by the owner.
In addition, any damage incurred to items you packed yourself may not be covered by transit insurance.
We strongly advise that you let Crown pack all of your household items and personal effects. All Crown crews are professionally trained and have years of experience packing people's precious belongings.
Will the packing crew use the original materials for my appliances or large items?
If you have any of the original cartons and packing materials for your appliances or other household items, make sure that you inform your Crew Supervisor. He or she will inspect the materials to determine whether your items will be safer using these or our own specialized materials.
Can my possessions be stored at one of Crown's warehouses?
Your possessions can be stored either at origin or destination, as necessary. Crown has state-of-the-art storage facilities in over 180 locations across the globe, so your personal belongings can be specially packed and moved to a Crown storage facility for as long as you wish.
Can I track my shipment online?
All of Crown's worldwide facilities are linked by a common communication and operating network.
This technological investment means that before you arrive at your destination, the local Crown office will already have up-to-date information on your relocation.
What happens when my possessions arrive at their destination?
Before you depart, your Move Manager will give you the contact details for your coordinator at the Crown office where you're moving to, along with your shipment details and the estimated date of arrival.
When you arrive in your new city, you will be contacted by the local Crown office who will coordinate the inbound clearance, confirm the status of the goods, organize a date for delivery and discuss any storage requirements.
Will I have to be in the destination country for my possessions to clear customs?
Many countries do require you to be present in order for your goods to clear customs, but different rules apply in each country.
Your Relocation Consultant will be able to confirm the regulations for the country you are relocating to.

After leaving EMI, Depeche Mode has signed a worldwide deal with Columbia Records to release its 13th studio album—and follow-up to 2009's Sounds Of The Universe—in March. The English electronic trio comprised of Martin Gore, Dave Gahan, and Andy 'Fletch' Fletcher are set to embark on a mostly European tour to support the record, playing 34 shows in 25 countries beginning May 7 in Tel Aviv and ending July 29 in Minsk, Belarus.
Even though the album is still untitled, Gore dropped some welcome hints in a press release about the forthcoming release saying, "The music has a similar vibe to Violator and Songs Of Faith And Devotion and I think the songs on the album are among some of the very best we've done."
More details about the album as well as a full North American tour will be announced in the coming weeks.

Actor Tom Cruise has filed a $50 million defamation lawsuit against journalists at a U.S. publication.
In a recent issue of Life & Style magazine, the star was accused of abandoning his 6-year-old daughter Suri following his divorce from her mom Katie Holmes.
And now Cruise has launched a legal battle against the publication's editors for allegedly making false statement about his relationship with the child.
His lawyer, Bert Fields, tells TMZ.com, "Tom is a caring father who dearly loves Suri. She's a vital part of his life and always will be. To say he has 'abandoned' her is a vicious lie. To say it in lurid headlines with a tearful picture of Suri is reprehensible.
"Tom doesn't go around suing people. He's not a litigious guy. But when these sleaze peddlers try to make money with disgusting lies about his relationship with his child, you bet he's going to sue."
And Fields hopes the threat of having to pay millions of dollars in damages will make Life & Style bosses reconsider the kind of stories they print.
He adds, "These serial defamers are foreign owned companies with their global headquarters in Hamburg (German). They take money from unsuspecting Americans by selling their malicious garbage. Having to pay a libel judgment may slow them down."
If the actor wins the suit, Cruise plans on donating the money to charity.

The streetlight between Skyridge and Hillcrest cycles on for about five minutes and then goes off for about three minutes. The light at the corner of Jenkins Ranch Road and Coal Bank does the same thing. This has been going on for more than a year. I think its because the bulbs need to be replaced. My friend thinks its part of the Dark Skies effort. If the bulbs need to be replaced, does the city have a system for checking the bulbs or does it rely on residents to notify them? If so, what department do I call? In the Dark, Sometimes
There are several highly speculative explanations for streetlights going on and off. But the dark-skies ordinance isnt to blame. It could point to something even darker.
Obviously, this is yet another example of the citys scheme to drive residents insane with visual stimuli.
It all began with the flashing-yellow turn-signal arrows, followed by the installation of hopelessly confusing HAWK crosswalks with their spastic sequences of colorful candlepower.
Then, near Dennys Restaurant along Camino del Rio, a Rapid Flashing Beacon was installed for pedestrian safety.
However, the citys own literature warns: This crossing is not a traffic signal and does not guarantee drivers will stop. So whats the point?
There is another possible basis for intermittent illumination. Shockingly, it transcends municipal boundaries and ties into a vast international conspiracy.
On-again, off-again streetlights are tapping out an ultra slow-motion Morse code message to the governments black helicopters circling Durango every night.
These whisper-mode aircraft gather intelligence, intercept cell calls and monitor shoppers with single-use plastic bags.
The choppers then transmit encrypted messages to the United Nations New World Order headquarters, which coordinates the local implementation of Agenda 21 sustainability principles and the flight paths of jets spraying chemtrails.
As we all know, chemtrails contain a proprietary aerosol that renders the populace complacent and susceptible to hypnotic suggestions.
This explains why the median price of a Durango home is $329,950.
It also explains why some people think its OK to bring dogs to a restaurant or why 300 residents would show up in tutus to ride bicycles to a kegger last week.
But a quick check-in with the city put the kibosh on links to nefarious plots.
When streetlights come on and go off, its usually a bad light sensor and sometimes a bad light bulb, said our good friend Levi Lloyd, the citys street superintendent and almost certainly not a member of any globally linked shadow organizations.
Or so we think.
If you have a problem with a streetlight, call the city at 375-5000 and ask for the Streets Department.
The department contracts with La Plata Electric Association to do maintenance work on the overhead lights. A crew in a bucket truck will be dispatched to fix the problem.
Not only can residents report burned-out streetlights, but also ones that are on during the day, which wastes energy and contributes to greenhouse gases and climate change.
Oops. Theres that sustainability thing again. Looks like the city has been co-opted by the Dark Side after all.
The Mea Culpa Mailbag offers an astute observation from John Toot, who has the last word concerning electric bikes on the Animas River Trail.
Durango has banned the use of Segways on the river trail, he writes, noting that a Segway is a two-wheeled, self-balancing, battery-powered electric vehicle.
An electric bicycle also has two wheels and is a battery-powered vehicle, he said.
If Segways are not allowed on the river trail, then electric bicycles should also be banned. On the other hand, if Durango wants to allow electric bicycles on the river trail, then Segways should also be allowed.
John concludes: Maybe this is something the City Council should add to its agenda. Hopefully, they will both be banned.

James Toney walked into the riskiest fight of his career unsure of whether he would be paid for it.
Toney's trainer and manager, John Arthur, told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) the Internal Revenue Service placed a lien on the boxer's purse the night prior to his fight with Randy Couture.
The bout co-headlined UFC 118, which took place Aug. 28 at Boston's TD Garden.
Toney's camp currently is in litigation with the government agency to recover a reported $500,000 payout.
Toney was not scheduled to receive a win bonus, nor a cut of the event's pay-per-view profits, said Arthur.
In a fight widely characterized as "boxing vs. mixed martial arts," Couture (19-10 MMA, 16-7 UFC) submitted Toney (0-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) with an arm-triangle choke in the first round of the Aug. 28 event.
In an earlier interview with MMAjunkie.com, Arthur said Toney was enraged by an incident just prior to the contest and "just wanted to hit [Randy]."
Today, the trainer and manager said he was first notified of the lien the night prior to the event by a fellow member of Toney's staff. The fighter's tax attorney confirmed the judgement as the camp members, including Toney, were preparing to make their way to the TD Garden on fight day.
The attorney claimed the IRS put a hold on Toney's purse to examine several past tax returns, Arthur said.
After initially considering the idea of pulling his fighter from the event, Arthur informed Toney of the news.
"I could see his face change from one extreme to the other extreme," Arthur said of Toney.
Arthur said he was shocked that he wasn't notified of the lien by UFC officials, and he did not speak with any representatives after the fight.
"If this would have been (boxing promoter) Dan Goossen, I would have known about it the minute he got it," he said. "I've been with Dan with many years, so I can't compare him with the UFC."
Arthur disputes the $500,000 purse reported as Toney's payout by the Massachusetts State Athletic Commission and said the actual amount is lower. Per its statutes, the MSAC distributes checks cut from the promoter to fighters following an event, provided the fighter has not committed any rules violations punishable by fine and/or suspension.
Ronnie Drimer, a representative for the MSAC, did not confirm or deny the alleged lien, though she said the office's legal team is preparing a comment on the matter.
A representative for the IRS could not be reached for comment.
UFC officials released Toney, who long campaigned for a contract, after the Couture loss.
Arthur said he's currently trying to get Toney another boxing fight before the end of the year and plans to revisit MMA in the first quarter of 2011.
"He's doing OK," Arthur said of his fighter. "He was down in spirits, but he's the type of guy that tries not to let things show. Life goes on. You have obstacles and difficulties in life, and you just have to move on."

At the start of this slightly mad but always enjoyable hip-hop mash-up a sampled voice says, "welcome to a new kind of listening experience . . . this record is different/different/different".
But that's not entirely true. As a clever meltdown of supple beats, rapid scratching, samples from obscure Southern country-soul, Mexican horns, bumpin' bass and much more from some long forgotten record collection, this goes back to the mid 80s when open-minded hip-hop was riding on wit, eccentricity and a love of the quirky.
And enjoying the pleasure of pulling odd music together with no political agenda but just because it sounded good – or funny.
T-Rock and Squashy Nice are apparently from southern USA (this, their third album is released on a New Zealand label) and there's something of the more languid days about this utterly unpredictable collection of often soulful songs (the aching Why Should I Go On early up and Baby Come Home later) punctuated by oddball $2 riffs, surface-noise soundbites and the occasional voice mentioning "43 flavours of jams and jellies" (with jazz flute).
Yes, it's silly and unashamed fun, but seriously clever.
Very welcome.

After a year of inactivity, Omar Cummings came through for the Houston Dynamo, coming off the bench to score an injury-time equalizer that gave the home team a 2-2 result against the New York Red Bulls.
Trailing 2-0 at halftime, Houston gained a numerical advantage when Jamison Olave earned a straight red card for a rash challenge on Cummings, who has only recently returned to full speed after an injury-plagued 2013 campaign. And when Andrew Driver earned a corner in the game's dying moments, Cummings – who came on in the 62nd minute for Giles Barnes – delivered.
Brad Davis' corner kick found the head of Bobby Boswell, whose header was saved by New York goalkeeper Luis Robles. But the Red Bulls custodian failed to keep hold of the ball and Cummings was in the right spot to touch home the equalizer from point-blank range, revitalizing Houston's hopes as the series shifts to Red Bull Arena Wednesday night (7 p.m. CT; CSN Houston, Univision Deportes).
Cummings' goal capped a stirring comeback from a rough first half for the Orange. First Ricardo Clark threw Houston a lifeline in the 51st minute, latching on to a poor clearance from Red Bulls left back David Carney. Clark found himself alone at the top of the New York penalty box and skimmed a shot through the legs of Olave that caught the Red Bulls off guard and cut the score to 2-1.
In the 65th minute the game and series was jolted when Olave was shown a straight red card for a reckless scything tackle from behind on Cummings. There was no doubt for referee Ricardo Salazar, as he immediately reached for his back pocket, putting New York down a man for the final 25 minutes and ruling Olave out of the return leg in New York.
After weathering some early energy from Houston in the game's opening moments, Cahill continued his role as a Dynamo nemesis, getting the scoring started with a trademark header in the 22nd minute.
Cahill shed Dynamo center back Eric Brunner in the box and made a Designated Player connection with a cross from Thierry Henry to grab the lead. Henry's sublime delivery teased goalkeeper Tally Hall off his line enough to create an opening for Cahill and the Australian international made no mistake.
New York took control on a second goal came from their stars, as Henry tracked back to the edge of his box to start a rapid counterattack that ran through Cahill. The Australian played Eric Alexander in the box and the midfielder cut back on Brunner and beat Hall at the near post for a 2-0 lead.
Houston pressed for a goal after giving up the twin setbacks and Will Bruin went close in the 42nd minute. The ever-active Boniek García played the forward into space, but New York center back Ibrahim Sekagya recovered to force him wide and off balance, and Bruin's shot ended in the stands.
After Clark's goal Houston pushed to turn the tables with renewed pressure on the Red Bulls. Giles Barnes tried for the spectacular some 10 minutes after Clark's goal with a dipping shot from 35 yards out but it was handled well by goalkeeper Luis Robles.
After Olave's ejection, Brunner came close to equalizing in the 78th minute but could not steer his header on target after another excellent corner-kick delivery from Davis.
In the end, Cummings' goal was enough to leave the series finely balanced ahead of the decisive second leg at Red Bull Arena.

Proba-2: science payloads
The Proba-2 science payload consists of four instruments: two complementary solar observation instruments;
- Sun watcher using APS detectors and image processing (SWAP)
- Large Yield Radiometer (LYRA)
and two plasma measurement instruments
- Thermal plasma measurement unit (TPMU)
- Dual segmented Langmuir probe (DSLP)
Sun watcher using APS detectors and image processing (SWAP)
SWAP is an extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) telescope. The instrument builds upon the heritage of the Extreme ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (EIT) carried by the SOHO spacecraft.
The instrument's objective is to image the solar corona at a temperature of around one million degrees. It will continue the systematic coronal mass ejection watch programme with an improved image sampling rate of one image every minute, instead of every 15 minutes.
Proba missions incorporate multiple innovations and allow small instruments to be flown.
The spatial resolution of SWAP complements the high temporal resolution of LYRA. SWAP is demonstrating a number of improvements over the old EIT design. It is an off-axis Ritchey-Chrétien telescope, which allows for simpler baffling and a smaller aperture. Instead of using CCD sensor technology, the SWAP images are focused on a new CMOS APS detector, covered with a EUV sensitive scintillation layer.
On board processing of the SWAP images is being performed, increasing the science data return through the limited bandwidth data downlink by compressing and prioritising the images based on their contents. The SWAP instrument makes use of the agility of the Proba-2 platform to increase its effective field of view when needed.
SWAP was developed by the Centre Spatial de Liège (CSL) of Belgium.
Large Yield Radiometer (LYRA)
LYRA is a solar radiometer with four ultraviolet bands. They are:
- 115-125 nm (Lyman-alpha [121.6 nm])
- 200-220 nm (Herzberg continuum range)
- 17-31 nm (aluminium filter channel, including helium II at 30.4 nm)
- 1-20 nm (zirconium filter channel)
The instrument's objective is to: observe using the above channels for their relevance to solar physics, aeronomy and space weather.
The radiometric calibration is traceable to synchrotron source standards and the stability is monitored by on board calibration sources (visible and near-ultra-violet LEDs), which allow possible degradations of the detectors and filters to be distinguished.
LYRA employs wide-bandgap detectors based on diamond. Diamond sensors make the instrument resistant to the effects of the radiation encountered in Proba-2's orbit. LYRA demonstrates technologies important for future missions such as the ESA Solar Orbiter.
LYRA was developed by the Royal Observatory of Belgium.
Thermal plasma measurement unit (TPMU)
Proba-2 is demonstrating new products and provides flight opportunities to guest payloads, in this case for observing the sun and contributing to space weather research.
The TMPU comprises a sensor unit, which consists of the probes and their preamplifiers, and a processing unit.
The instrument's objective is to measure the total ion density and electron temperature, the ion composition and ion temperature, and the floating potential of the satellite body.
The electron temperature part uses three simple circular planar probes with guard rings. A constant voltage shift is maintained by applying the proper amplitude of the radio frequency signal. The probe potential is periodically scanned and adjusted for minimum electron temperature.
The ion part uses a two-grid planar trap. The ion measurement can work in two modes. The first mode measures the ion flux at plasma potential. The second mode is the measurement of volt-ampere retarding characteristics. This uses an analysing voltage sweep which can be selected in the range 0 V to 20 V. Individual measurements are time-stamped and can be related to the satellite onboard time and thus orbital position.
The fields of view of the TPMU sensors are aligned with the flight direction of the satellite as far as is allowed by the Sun-pointing attitude. TPMU shares some interface, power and processing resources with DSLP.
TMPU was developed by a Czech consortium, led by the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Prague, Czech Republic.
Dual segmented Langmuir probe (DSLP)
DSLP is an instrument to study the magnetospheric background plasma. Data acquired by DSLP will be used to reach these specific scientific goals:
- Directional Measurements
- Non-Maxwellian Features in Ionospheric Plasma
- Ionospheric Irregularities
- Ionospheric Perturbations by Solar Events (CMEs)
- Mapping Bulk Plasma Parameters
The DSLP instrument consists of two Langmuir probes, electronics and small data processing unit. DSLP shares some interface, power and processing resourcess with TPMU. DSLP has been developed on the basis of its predecessor ISL (Instrument Sonde de Langmuir), flown on the Demeter mission of CNES.
DSLP was developed by the consortium of Astronomical Institute and Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Prague, Czech Republic, RSSD ESA ESTEC (J.-P. Lebreton), Noordwijk, The Netherlands, Czech Space Research Centre (CSRC), Brno Czech Republic, and SPRINX Systems, Prague, Czech Republic.

text: oldgitguy 6 Posted May 26, 2013 Hello all. I'm new to the forums. I have several guitars and a Spider iv hd150. I just finished saving up the money for "the dream rig". After reading about this combination for months I decided to take the plunge. I started looking for a guitar to demo. Because one of my favorites is my Am Strat I decided on the 69. I bought a JTV-69, Pod HD pro, FBV MKll, DT25. I have the JTV-69 as of yesterday and have trouble putting it down. It is awesome, even just playing the through the hd150. All I had to do with the setup was lower the strings about .036 of an inch. Everything else was spot on. Even the battery was charged. The strings line up straight on the neck and the frets are great, the strings do not fall of the fret and the knobs are tight so far. I happen to walk into GC just after they stocked for the big Memorial Day sale and found they put two in stock. Got it at 15% off regular price. I'm waiting for the other gear to arrive. I have searched the forum for information on the "Advanced Guide" for my JTV-69. I cannot find anything. I went to the manual section at line6.com and it does not appear there. Is there an advanced guide for the JTV-69? Where can I find it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

METRO VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Whitecaps were back at training Tuesday, however most of the talk surrounded the controversy still brewing from Monday's Olympic women's soccer semifinal between Canada and the U.S.
And there was plenty of reaction — one Canadian, three Americans and one Scottish coach all weighed in on the six-second violation called against Canadian goalkeeper Erin McLeod that led to a free kick for the Americans and, seconds later, the game-tying goal late in the second half.
The U.S. eventually won 4-3 in the waning seconds of stoppage time in the second half of extra time, crushing the Canadian hopes of a monumental upset in women's soccer.
Norwegian referee Christiana Pedersen has been publicly criticized by the Canadian players, media and fans for not just that call, but how the entire match was officiated.
"I think obviously at the time watching it I felt they (the Canadian team) were pretty hard done by on the refereeing decision," said Whitecaps head coach Martin Rennie.
"Watching it again, I realized the goalkeeper held the ball for 16 seconds, in the second half she held it for 17 seconds and then she got penalized for holding for 13 seconds. So, that's a long time on the ball and understandable why the ref called it."
Goalkeeper Brad Knighton, who will start Saturday for the Vancouver side against Real Salt Lake at BC Place Stadium, has been called for a six-second violation before, dating back to his days in youth soccer.
"It's just one of those things you never really see called," said Knighton.
"When it's called you're kind of looking around wondering what just happened. From what I've read, (McLeod) had been warned a couple of times and that's the thing, if you've been warned a couple times they don't really have to stop and say, 'Hey, this is what's going on.'
"She was warned and that's the result that's happened. It's unfortunate for Canada but for us in the U.S. it was pretty exciting."

Wainwright was married to Adele Holley Wainwright[?] (1887-1979).
Wainwright was born at Fort Walla Walla, Washington[?] and was the son of Robert Powell Page Wainwright[?], a US Army officer who commanded a squadron at the Battle of Santiago[?] during the Spanish-American War. He graduated from West Point, in 1906, and was commissioned in the cavalry. He served with the 1st Cavalry Brigade[?] in Texas from 1906-08 and in the Philippines from 1908-10, where he saw combat on Jolo[?], during the Moro Rebellion[?]. Wainwright graduated from the Mounted Service School[?], Fort Riley, Kansas, in 1916 and was promoted to Captain. By 1917 he was on the staff of the first officer training camp at Plattsburg, New York[?].
In February 1918, he was ordered to France, during World War I. In June, he became Assistant Chief-of-Staff of the 82nd Infantry Division[?], with which he took part in the Saint Mihiel[?] and Meuse-Argonne Offensives[?]. As a temporary Lieutenant Colonel, he was assigned to occupation duty in Germany with the 3rd Army at Koblenz, Germany[?], from October 1918 until 1920. Having reverted to the rank of Captain, he was then promoted to Major.
After a year as an instructor at the Cavalry School at Fort Riley, he was attached to the General Staff from 1921-23 and assigned to the 3rd Cavalry Brigade[?], Fort Myer, Virginia[?], from 1923-25. In 1929, he was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and graduated from the Command and General Staff School[?], Fort Leavenworth, Kansas[?], in 1931, and from the Army War College[?] in 1934. Wainwright was promoted to Colonel in 1935, and served as commander of the 3rd Cavalry until 1938, when he was promoted to Brigadier General in command of the 1st Cavalry Brigade[?] at Fort Clark, Texas[?].
In September 1940, Wainwright was promoted to Major General (temporary) and returned to the Philippines, by December, as commander of the Philippine Department. As the senior field commander of US/Filipino forces, he was responsible for resisting the Japanese invasion of the Philippines, which began in December 1941. Retreating from the beachhead[?] of Lingayen Gulf[?], his forces had withdrawn onto the Bataan Peninsula by January 1942, where they defended the entrance to Manila Bay.
On April 9, the 70,000 troops on Bataan surrendered.
In March, Wainwright was promoted to Lieutenant General (temporary). On May 5, the Japanese attacked Corregidor and on May 6, the 3,500 troops located there were also surrendered. By June 9, the Philippine Department had completely surrendered.
Wainwright was then held in prison camps in northern Luzon, Formosa, and Manchuria until his liberation by Russian troops in August 1945. After witnessing the Japanese surrender aboard the USS Missouri on September 2, he returned to the Philippines to receive the surrender of the local Japanese commander. He was later awarded the US Army Medal of Honor
In January 1946, Wainwright became the commander of the 4th Army[?], Fort Sam[?], Houston, Texas. He retired in August 1947.
General Wainwright is buried in Section 1 of Arlington National Cemetery and is one of the few people to have had their funeral held in the lower level of the Memorial Amphitheater[?].

Baltimore's Oblate Sisters of Providence, which celebrated its 180th birthday this year, was the first Catholic order in American to accept Black women as sisters.
Now, the order numbers only a hundred nuns, but according to sisters Sisters Virginie Fish and Marcia Hall, a former academic, (interviewed by NPR's Michel Martin) it's still a rich and fulfilling life. The Oblates, who were founded by Mother Mary Lange, a Haitian nun, was an integrated order from inception, and dedicated to good works. Says sister Virginie, who joined the order right out of high school 63 years ago, "We are ordinary women trying to live an extraordinary lifestyle because it it what we feel God is asking of us." Of the order's dwindling numbers she declares, "Jesus had twelve apostles...look what he did with twelve unlikely, uneducated men!" [NPR]

California Emergency as Huge Yosemite Fire 'Rim Fire' Doubles in Size37.8N 119.5W
Firefighters in California are struggling to gain control of a huge wildfire which has reached the edge of Yosemite National Park. The Rim Fire covers nearly 225 sq miles (582 sq km) and threatens a major reservoir serving San Francisco.
The detail image shows the extent of the fire front. The image acquired during the day of the 24 August can be compared with the image taken at night on the same day.
The fire is just 7% contained after burning for more than a week, officials say, up from 2% containment on Friday. Strong winds have fanned the flames closer to nearby towns raising the risk of flying debris sparking more fires.
More than 5,000 homes are endangered by the blaze, which began on 17 August from still unknown causes in the Stanislaus National Forest.

By Benjamin Pimentel, MarketWatch
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — At the one-year anniversary of its initial public offering, Facebook Inc. investors find themselves struggling with the question of whether the glass is half-empty, or half-full.
Facebook's /zigman2/quotes/205064656/composite FB +1.62% debut was one of the hottest and largest initial public offerings of the young century. But the rapid slide of the social network's market value from its $38 IPO price on May 18, 2012 has many investors still licking their wounds — especially since the stock hasn't come anywhere close to that level since then.
Facebook's 1-year fight
to regain IPO heat goes on
Facebook marks its anniversary as a public company on Saturday, capping a tumultuous year in which its stock has struggled to bounce back to its IPO price, even as business has improved

A year later, the Facebook IPO is still widely seen as the one of the most disappointing public debuts in history.
However, Facebook is also seen as a stronger business, with revenues healthy revenue growth, after the company essentially created a mobile ad business out of nothing. And while the stock hasn't returned to its IPO levels, it has jumped more than 50% since bottoming out last fall.
This has led to a relatively close divide among Wall Street analysts about the company's performance and the future prospects for the stock. A little more than half the covering brokers currently have buy ratings on Facebook, while the current median price target on the shares is $34, according to data from Thomson Reuters.
"Facebook's share price is telling you that investors are more skeptical about the company's prospects than a year ago," Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter told MarketWatch.
Jordan Rohan of Stifel Nicolaus sees it differently.
"Shouldn't you be looking at why it is 40% higher than its lows?" he told MarketWatch.
Many analysts do see Facebook's business prospects improving, particularly in an area that became a key concern when the company went public: its mobile business.
In its pre-IPO filings, Facebook repeatedly conceded that its ability to make money in mobile was "unproven." In fact, Rohan said investors "were concerned that mobile would be a tough transition for Facebook to manage."
Facebook Enlarge Image
But then Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg's team pulled a surprise. In October, five months after the IPO, Facebook reported that 14% of its ad revenue came from mobile, up essentially from zero.
And that number just kept growing. By the first quarter of this year, mobile made up a third of Facebook's total ad revenue. IDC analyst Karsten Weide said the fact that the company was able to eventually do well in mobile wasn't surprising.
But the speed at which the company grew its mobile business, he said, "That was a surprise."
It was largely due to the excitement around Facebook's "mobile mojo," as one analyst called it, that its stock began rising steadily late last year and into January, when the shares were trading above $30.
Can Facebook get back to IPO price?
Wall Street likes social media, but some analysts are skeptical whether Facebook's stock can return to its initial price of $38 any time soon. MarketWatch's Ben Pimentel reports.

Always trying to stay on the cutting edge of technology to better our membership experience and raise the level of our advocacy, the Financial Services Institute (FSI) recently broke new ground in the industry when it launched its mobile application to facilitate real-time advocacy engagement for independent financial advisors.
Time and time again, our members – who are very tech-savvy – have told us they want to be involved and more fully engaged with our advocacy initiatives, and they've shown us that they are interested in doing so on a consistent basis. Our mobile application is one more way that FSI is providing its engaged membership with the tools they need to speak with one voice and influence the regulatory and legislative processes.
The app is based on the Advocacy Action Center on FSI's website, which – as just one example – enabled FSI's financial advisor members to send more than 5,000 letters to the White House expressing their concern in regard to the Department of Labor's effort to redefine the term "fiduciary" for advice on IRAs last year. We wanted to develop a mobile app that could offer our members similar opportunities to get involved wherever they are and at any time. The app allows for immediate engagement on the issues that are most important to an independent financial advisor's bottom line.
The app incorporates all the tools that are currently available through the Advocacy Action Center, as well as additional features, such as instant Calls to Action; real-time news alerts; current petitions relative to different states; complete listings of elected officials at all levels of government as well as of FSI's 2012 advocacy priorities; and social media functions. The app allows for immediate, real-time involvement on particular issues and initiatives. We see it as providing a platform for helping our members shape their own future by engaging on critical issues on an ongoing, day-to-day basis.
FSI understands the important role that technology plays in both promoting our agenda and effectively representing the interests of our membership. We are fully committed to integrating technology into our advocacy efforts in the near future and long term. For example, we've designed our mobile app to be as broadly usable for our members as possible: it is native to the iPad, but is also available on all major mobile platforms (e.g., iPhone, Droid, etc.). We plan to aggressively pursue new ways to utilize technology to help our members advocate for their interests in Washington and in the states going forward, as well.

Smart Key - exiting car
I am picking up my new Camry hybrid and have a couple of questions about the smart key and exiting the car.
1. If I have fob in my pocket and I exit the car, does the car remain on? I assume it has to. So if I forget to shut off the car, when I park, do the doors autolock after a few minutes?
2. Is there a noise when you exit with the engine still running? Power switch on?
3. Can you get a plain wireless entry fob, the push the button kind, as a 3rd key? And if so is it cheaper than the $400 replacement for the smartkey?
Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

Yesterday, Delmon Young was asked about comments made recently by Carl Crawford, in which Crawford refers to the circus that surrounded the Rays in 2007. Crawford referred to Young and Elijah Dukes as two players that "got some growing up and maturing to do".
Young at first declined to comment on Crawford's statement, but then couldn't help himself, saying that he and Dukes are not to blame for the losing ways in Tampa Bay.
Afterwards Crawford dropped the gloves.
"These are exactly the the kind of distractions we were talking about with the Rays, a young guy popping off at the mouth, talking too much," Crawford said. "He needs to just shut up and play baseball."
Crawford said that if Young didn't fully understand his comments about the Rays benefitting form having fewer distractions, Crawford said will be more than willing to explain it. After reading Young's comments in the Times early Friday morning, Crawford was animated in his response: "Nobody even mentioned the word losing, losing games. We know we've been a losing franchise. He just wanted to say something back like he's always running his mouth. That's what he does. He runs his mouth all the time. Nobody was blaming him for anything. For him to come back at me was a personal attack. I feel that if there is anything that he is unsure about, tell him I would be more than happy to say it in his face, or any kind of other way, that would make him understand."
Wednesday April 16. Mark your calendars. That is the first time the Rays will face the Twins this season. We have a feeling Delmon Young will be Gettin' A Delmon of his own sometime in that series.

Welcome to Down On The Street, where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. It's time we got caught up on the DOTS Beetle Backlog.
Most of the time, I don't even notice VW Type Is parked on the street in Alameda. They have always been here, it seems, and they don't really stand out as anything special. However, this '61 is such a beauty that I had no choice but to photograph it immediately.
Of course, the '48 Plymouth Deluxe Six and super-clean '60 VW Transporter parked nearby let me know that I was in the right neighborhood. That's right, the same guy owns all three cars. He says the VW is pretty much all original, with a bit of floorpan rust but nothing too serious, and that it gets driven every day.

Proper usage and maintenance
Proper usage and maintenance is vital for getting the most out of the valuable resources we have. Our designs are made to last for generations, but just like everything else, they need a little care to get there.
Teak is commonly found in Southeast Asia, Central and South America. Our FSC-certified Teak comes from Central America, Brazil and Indonesia, while our non-certified Teak comes from plantations in Southeast Asia and Trinidad; managed to sustain a renewable and reliable supply of wood.
Teak is a heavy, hard and sturdy type of wood. The high content of natural oils makes it highly resistant and it is therefore a good choice for household articles and furniture.
For regular cleaning use a suitable cleaning agent for wood.
As the wood is untreated the surface will change colour over time and eventually turn into a beautiful silvery grey. To maintain untreated wood, it is a good idea to use sandpaper (grit 120-150) once or twice a year.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is a timeless and long-lasting material which is super easy to maintain. The material strength enables designs with thin profiles and various forms and patterns.
Use soapy water and wipe with a dry cloth.
Minor scratches and oxide stains can easily be removed with a non-abrasive scouring pad. Care products for stainless steel such as Gleerustol can also be used. If used on kitchen utilities, always remember to wash it thoroughly after.
When using special care products you should avoid all contact with wood in order not to damaging the surface. Do not use any kind of products containing chlorine as this will damage the surface and make it vulnerable to corrosion.

USDA, Others Invest $5 Million to Grow Broccoli in the East – More coverage on this project, this an AP report on aolnews.com Feb. 21:
U.S. consumption of broccoli has nearly doubled in the past 25 years, with Americans now eating 8.5 pounds annually of the vegetable celebrated for its high levels of vitamin C, fiber and antioxidants. Nearly all of that comes from California, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
"And they do an excellent job," said Thomas Bjorkman, one of the lead researchers and associate professor of horticulture at Cornell University. "But with the demand for locally grown and rising transportation costs, that really creates an opportunity for Eastern production."
"We're not attempting to put California out of business. We just want a piece of the action," said J. Powell Smith, a South Carolina extension agent who is lining up growers in his state. …
Miguel Gomez, an assistant professor of applied economics and management at Cornell University, has been helping put together an East Coast network of farmers and retailers. Along with saving money, Gomez said creating second major production center for broccoli provides a hedge against threats such as drought, disease and bioterrorism.
"When you look at a food system that depends on a single area, that is extremely risky," he said. "It's good to diversify."
It also saves money. Shipping 10 tons of broccoli from Salinas, Calif., for instance, runs about $6,000 and adds 20 cents to 25 cents per pound to the vegetable's cost, Bjorkman said.
Two recent Cornell Chronicle articles featuring activities in our sister departments in CALS:
- Students flock to 'magical mushrooms' course – More than 5,500 students have taken PPPMB chair George Hudler's Magical Mushrooms, Mischievous Molds class.
- Cornell releases two new potato varieties, ideal for chip – "Waneta and Lamoka — named after a pair of twin lakes in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York — are especially appealing to potato chip manufacturers because they fare well in storage and produce a nice color when cut. … Both varieties are resistant to the golden nematode, a pathogen present in some New York soil that attacks potato roots, and common scab, another soil-borne pathogen present nationwide that can cause pits in potatoes. … 'New York growers will have a higher quality product to sell,' said [Walter De Jong, associate professor in the Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics.]
