Letter to the Editor: "Thrive" Filmmakers Foster & Kimberly Gamble Respond
Editor's note: The views expressed here are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of yesmagazine.org.
Disaster by Design? What's Wrong with the Thrive Movement
A popular new film claims a secret elite create our most troubling problems to advance a "global domination agenda." Why Amy Goodman, Vandana Shiva, and other progressives are calling it "dangerously misguided."
In what appears to be a combination of sincere concern, remarkable misunderstanding, and blatant disinformation, John Robbins has engaged in a dangerously deceptive campaign to undermine the message and movement of Thrive.
With appreciation for his genuine care for humanity and respect for his excellent research into the corruption contaminating our food system, we challenge his misleading assertions against Thrive, a movie which has been widely acclaimed by the more than eight million people who have seen it in the last ten months. YouTube "likes" run at over 99%.
1. Conspiracies exist and can hurt you and your loved ones whether you believe in them or not.
Robbins writes that "the Thrive movie and website are filled with dark and unsubstantiated assertions about secret and profoundly malevolent conspiracies based on an ultimate division between 'us' and 'them.'"
At the same time, he acknowledges that "powerful economic interests often collude with one another to deceive and defraud the public." He goes on to admit that
It is also certain that networks exist among the most powerful that enable a remarkably few people to shape the world's economy, to determine what is known and what is not, which views are accepted and which are not, and what priorities and policies will prevail..." [Italics ours]
By definition, that is a conspiracy: "a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful." (Oxforddictionary.com)
The very notion of a "conspiracy" has been so cleverly insulted by those who control the media and thus dictate the norms of our society (i.e., "determine which views are acceptable") that many people, especially if they bank on their fame, are afraid to call it out. (Check out these "33 conspiracy theories that turned out to be true.")
It is at great peril that we would ignore the clearly documented power structure outlined in the Thrive "Follow the Money" pyramid that shows how the government, and even the corporations, are dominated and controlled by more powerful forces.
John blames the global financial collapse on "our collective consciousness," saying "the real source of the problem is in all of us, and in the economic systems we have collectively produced." This demeans everyone while letting the perpetrators go free. It shows a lack of respect for the integrity of most people and how they would behave if they had sufficient information. When Robbins was ripped off by Madoff's ponzi scheme, he did not hesitate to name the perpetrator publicly and try to get his money back. Now, as billions of lives are being ruined by the greatest Ponzi scheme in history (the global "fractional reserve" banking scam), Robbins wants us to refrain from naming who, how, and why, and instead he tries to undermine the dynamic solutions movement that we are facilitating to help create honest systems that nurture true freedom and well being.
Nowhere do we advocate harming those who are perpetrating the crimes. We simply expose them so that we can stop unwittingly empowering them, and can instead obsolete their controlling influence in our lives.
Everyone in the movie has sworn by their own statements, including the dissociates and the many who refused to sign John's letter. None has disputed a single fact in the movie, which have all been third-party verified. Undisputed facts indicate that we are careening toward World War III and a police state. We do not believe we have time for everyone to get enlightened as a strategy for survival. Nor do we believe it is wise to cling to cherished illusions that Obama, or Romney, or anything short of a complete restructuring of our economic systems, will avert this trend.
What is the relationship between Iran selling its oil for gold and the collapse of the dollar? Thrive offers tools for discerning what's really going on by "following the money" because understanding what is happening behind the scenes with global currencies is what lifts the veil on our real foreign policy and the loss of our hard-won rights.
Unlike John Robbins, we have chosen to step outside the comfort zone by naming the conspiracy so that we can create strategic solutions that are at last a match for the problems that we face.
As to Robbins's claim that we make "unsubstantiated assertions," the global domination agenda section of our website will take you as deep as you want to go in substantiation.
2) Critical thinking makes it possible to learn from each other without having to agree 100 percent.
Unfortunately, Robbins has resorted to rhetorical fallacies like guilt by association ("Ed Griffin was a member of the John Birch Society"), outright falsehoods ("Gamble says HAARP caused the Fukushima Earthquake") and attacking people and things we have not included in our film at all ("Eustace Mullins has been called anti-Semitic.")
Since when can we only learn from someone with whom we agree 100%? We believe our capacity to learn depends on our ability to discern from any source what is of value and what is not. That is step one of critical thinking.
We read articles and watch broadcasts from both the Left and Right, as well as a ton of independent, voluntaryist and whistle-blowing media. We are committed to learning whatever we can help to solve problems that seem intractable from the old political polarity trap.
Ed Griffin has done seminal work on exposing the truth about the private Federal Reserve. The Birch Society has been a critical force in exposing the hidden agendas behind the Rockefeller and Rothschild-created United Nations. Taking value from that is not the same as condoning all their conclusions. Mullins has done important work uncovering who controls and manipulates the U.S. mainstream media, and learning from his research does not mean we align with any of his other views. We certainly don't condone racism of any kind, which we state repeatedly and explicitly in Thrive.
We included David Icke because he is a courageous researcher whose investigation of how the world and money really work allowed him in the 1990's to predict accurately that there would be a false flag event (9/11) followed by the dismantling of the Constitution (the PATRIOT Act), the invasion of the Middle East (Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Iran?), a fake pandemic (Swine Flu) and a financial collapse (2008). In Thrive he unpacked complex financial information in an easy-to-understand way, which helps people to see how their everyday financial realities are connected to the larger global demise.
As for the Fukushima earthquake, we never said the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) caused the Fukushima quake, because we have seen no evidence of that. The Chile and Haiti quakes, on the other hand, immediately followed maximum charging of the HAARP antenna—which was cut off just as the quakes started. In the case of Haiti, the U.S. just happened to have 10,000 troops at the southern tip of Florida, who moved quickly to take over the Haitian capitol airport. Bill Clinton and George Bush Sr. took over the relief effort, which has done little, while the gold and oil discovered in a recent resource assessment by President Aristide before he was ousted in a CIA-backed coup, are now looking more like they will end up in American coffers. The China quake was preceded by a rainbow aurora in the sky, characteristic of HAARP. This is not some high-school debate. There are lives on the line. HAARP is well-documented. There are many pictures, patents, videos, books, contracts, etc., to prove it. Is this worth looking into? It's all on our website here.
Smearing the source helps Robbins avoid confronting the critical information. Debating information when facts can be known is a dangerous distraction from the more important conversations and actions that are called for. Toward this end, we created a "Reality Check" for you to check on your understanding of critical information.
Robbins continues to ignore our corrections to the distortions and deceptions in his once again re-hashed article. We regret this, especially because we see a consistent pattern where Robbins likes what he understands about Thrive, and actually does not understand where we are coming from on the things he is attacking.
3) Nonviolence isn't just a goal. It's the way.
Most of us think if we could just get people to do what we believe in, things would be fine. Some believe we need to require people to pay more for education, others believe we need to require employers to pay higher wages, and still others believe the government should require citizens to pay an even higher percentage of their earnings for war, whatever the cost, in order to maintain what they see as America's hard-won position of authority in the world. One of the problems that shows up right away is that we don't all agree with what that right requirement ought to be that's going to solve our problems. It's interesting to see how righteous people can be about imposing their will on others while resisting having another's will imposed on them. That is actually the essence of the two-party polarity when it comes down to it.
Nonetheless, most people have accepted that involuntary taxation is simply what's needed for humanity to function with some semblance of civility and order. And because people in need are currently dependent on government support, paying taxes to provide that support is one of the ways we demonstrate our compassion. That is partly why it is so challenging to suggest that we examine the ultimate value of this tax-based ruling system—and why John can stoop to claims of class bias when we dare even suggest that we examine another possibility. However, it is only by ignoring Thrive's transition strategies that Robbins could fabricate such an argument. Thrive includes strategies that support people in the process of becoming independent and prosperous, and has as its goal the freedom and empowerment of everyone, not just the majority.
Most of us would agree that democracy represents a great stride from royalty and dictatorship. We believe it is the best system the world has known—to date. That does not mean it should be our end goal. So following the thread of inquiry wherever it might take us, we allowed ourselves to think about and research alternatives to governments and the involuntary, violence-enforced taxation that supports them. Some questions we began with, and which John has repeatedly refused to answer, are:
- What is the relationship between fairness and freedom? Is it right for some to decide what is "fair" and use force to impose it on others, or is individual freedom primary and in fact the core ethic from which ultimate fairness emerges?
- Do you believe human compassion and community will only arise if it is mandated and enforced by an authoritarian state?
- If there were a way to have accessible education and healthcare, help for those in need, a respected system of justice, accessible and good roads, etc.—without a coercive government to provide and enforce them—would you want that?
In our ensuing research, we found whole philosophies based on the notion that if people organize around non-aggression instead of coercive taxation, an entirely new kind of human existence becomes possible. The principle of non-violation means that no one can violate another except in true self-defense. It's the one thing we have found that everyone agrees upon: none of us wants to be violated against our will.
Can you imagine that if people had enough money and time and freedom from coercion and suffering they could come up with a variety of systems for successful self-organizing that do not depend on the immoral initiation of force? We do.
In this scenario, individuals or corporations who infringe on this right not to be violated are prosecuted. So pollution and theft and any kind of violation would be prosecuted—not capped and traded or otherwise allowed. This is the vision of liberty—not libertarianism—that Thrive proposes. Because we are so far from people having the freedom and prosperity needed to do without government support, we propose an essential transition strategy from here to there. By holding liberty as the beacon of where humanity can go, we avoid creating short-term "fixes" that will inadvertently prevent us from getting there.
Every government throughout the world has relied on involuntary taxation to sustain itself, and the taxes have been used primarily to grow the governments instead of providing for the increased well-being of their citizens. Furthermore, governments are responsible for more death and destruction than any other entity on the planet: over 200 million deaths in the twentieth century alone.
Giving Robbins the benefit of the doubt, we assume he has genuine concern that the impact of Thrive and these considerations will somehow encourage heartless right-wing elitism and bring more suffering to the poor. Nothing could be further from the truth. Thrive specifically outlines a strategic transition to address the needs of the people and the environment on the journey to a new paradigm of life on Earth.
4. Thrive Offers a three-stage solution strategy that includes the primary progressive ethic.
Thrive's "3-Stage Solutions Strategy" begins by empowering the core of the liberal/progressive /democrat approach—taking care of those most in need while transitioning to prosperous self-sufficiency. This phase is funded by cutting the bloated military budget, by stopping wars of aggression, and by ending the unnecessary and destructive interest paid by taxpayers to the Federal Reserve—instead of by creating new violations by taking more hard-earned wages from already-struggling people. (See the solutions section of our website where we spell out this "3-Stage Strategy" in every major sector of human endeavor.)
To achieve this phase, we need to have elected officials who are accountable, so campaign finance reform is a key first step—as is getting accurate news and stopping the poisoning of people through geo-engineering. Those are among the top 10 actions we propose.
John Robbins writes:
In my view, the deregulation of the economy and the demolition of government programs that Thrive proposes would take us even further in the direction of a winner-take-all economy in which wealth would concentrate even more in the hands of the financial elites. This is something that I and the other signers of the statement repudiating Thrive find deeply abhorrent.
This is a drastic misunderstanding of the Thrive perspective.
We believe there should be strict regulations on financial transactions that enforce contracts, and prosecute fraud, counterfeit, theft, or coercion, thereby protecting individual rights as primary and enforcing integrity. So such rackets as "fractional reserve" (lending money you don't have), bailouts, subsidies, fake currency, derivatives, credit default swaps, and involuntary withholding of wages would disappear. Pollution would be prosecuted as the violation of our individual right to clean air and water. The banks that helped cause the global financial collapse would be out of business and the individuals responsible, as in Iceland, would be prosecuted.
It is just the opposite of a "winner take all" scheme, which is precisely what we have now. It is a win/win world where everyone is free from coercion, violators have to make reconciliation and people would be so prosperous that they could easily take care of those who ran on hard times.
Political and economic freedom lead to increased prosperity and security. The Economic Freedom of the World Report consistently reveals that the more economic and political freedom a society has the healthier, safer, and more prosperous they are.
Robbins also confuses the Thrive freedom approach with traditional libertarian politics and totally misrepresents our proposals as lacking compassion. This link will help dispel those myths.
Our allegiance is to freedom for everyone and for integrity in all our dealings with one another. Those are the regulations that we believe deserve standing and that align with a "universal morality" of non-aggression to create a sustainable, thriving civilization.
5. Thrive provides informed, strategic, and nonviolent solutions
We are thrilled to report that in just the last three months, over 300 self-creating action groups from over 40 countries have signed up on our Thrive Solutions Hub. Far from being "disempowered and undermined in our accountability" by Thrive, as Robbins seems to fear, thousands of "solutionaries" are tackling dozens of key issues in grounded, practical, collaborative and nonviolent ways. In every city we have visited, Thrive audiences are relieved and invigorated to move on to reality-based and morality-based strategies. Finally we can transcend the impotent two-party polarity—the coercion-based political platforms (the most pervasive "us vs. them" game) about who gets to control other people and their money. This is one of the reasons the Thrive movement's Solutions Hub has been approved as an action by Occupy Los Angeles's Affinity Outreach Group.
Shortly after Robbins's letter was published, a Thrive enthusiast sent us this quote: "Those who don't think it is possible would do well to stay out of the way of those who are making it happen." Check out what Thrive–inspired "solutionaries" are doing all over the world.
Our lethal predicament presents an existential challenge for each of us—where we could be having the difficult, innovative conversations that allow us to learn from one another as we go. We once again extend an invitation to John Robbins and other dissociates to engage with us—at any time—in an open, constructive public discussion of these critical issues.
We talk about what what the experience of dissociation was like in this video.
Fortunately, after all our research and experience, we both agree that the authoritarian state will be seen historically as just a temporary, though lethal, concept and the fundamental force of freedom will prove to be unstoppable.

Indiana Jones returns for his most incredible interactive expedition ever. Set in 1939, this epic, original Indy story - the first from LucasArts with direction from George Lucas - puts you in the fedora of the legendary adventure hero as he unravels the clues found in ancient artifacts spanning the globe. From San Francisco's Chinatown to the world's most sacred ground, Indy must use his fists, whip and trusty revolver to fight through ruthless opposition and piece together a mystery of biblical proportions.
Indiana Jones 2007 debuts the revolutionary new euphoria technology from NaturalMotion, which delivers never-before-seen lifelike action and awareness to every character in real time - so you'll never see the same thing twice. For the first time ever, euphoria enables interactive characters to move, act and even think like actual human beings, adapting their behavior on the fly and resulting in a different payoff every single time. This next-gen technology imbues Indy and his opponents with unparalleled environmental awareness and survival instincts. They'll stumble, then attempt to maintain their balance; brace themselves for falls, then get back up; and reach for nearby ledges when falling. Each action results in an authentic, varied performance every time.
With LucasArts' completely interactive Hot Set environments, every setting in Indiana Jones 2007 is open-ended and completely destructible in a way that only next-generation consoles can deliver. Use your wits and daring to make each spring-loaded environment a weapon as you dispense of foes in clever and unexpected ways. Also, embark upon thrilling chase sequences that remain true to the spirit established in scenes such as Indy's pursuit of the motorcade in Raiders of the Lost Ark, the mine-cart scene in The Temple of Doom, and the free-for-all aboard the tank in The Last Crusade.

"Missing You" is a beautiful atmospheric piece with an acoustic guitar accompanied only by strings. The song envokes feelings of realization and possibly even a little bittersweet remembrance. A song envoking the feelings of looking back fondly on memories. Remembering those wonderful yesterdays and surprises. Those ol' glory days.

"Mainstream Linux distributions typically default to one of two desktop environments, KDE or GNOME. Both of these environments provide users with an intuitive and attractive desktop, as well as offering a large raft of multimedia software, games, administration programs, network tools, educational applications, utilities, artwork, web development tools and more. However, these two desktops focus more on providing users with a modern computing environment with all the bells and whistles featured in Windows Vista, rather than minimising the amount of system resources they need. For users and developers who want to run an attractive Linux desktop on older hardware, netbooks, or mobile internet devices, neither KDE or GNOME may be a viable option, as they run too slowly on low spec machines (such as less than 256MB RAM and a 1 GHz processor). This article seeks to identify the best lean desktops for Linux, for users that have old or even ancient hardware."

PEORIA — The year ahead looks to usher in another era of change to the central Illinois business community.
First, as a health care center, Peoria enters 2014 with two major hospitals, not three.
After more than a century as Proctor Hospital, it's now UnityPoint Health-Proctor. The former Methodist Medical Center joined the UnityPoint network in 2011.
As the Affordable Care Act becomes law for millions of Americans, the winds of change are blowing in the medical industry. Consolidation and realignment of medical complexes are part of that change.
In the spring of 2014, Kewanee Hospital will become part of OSF Healthcare as OSF Saint Luke Medical Center.
"We're entering a major transformational period in health care, we don't know what the future holds," said Gary Jepson, CEO of the 98-bed Pekin Hospital in Pekin.
Caterpillar Inc. is looking for change in 2014, specifically in the mining industry that's been in the doldrums for over a year.
After 2013, a year chairman and CEO Doug Oberhelman described as "painful," with Caterpillar closing plants and laying off workers worldwide to cut costs, the hope is for better things ahead.
"From an economic standpoint, the company expects better world growth in 2014," said Oberhelman in the company's third-quarter economic report, delivered in October.
But there are still clouds on the horizon, said the Caterpillar CEO. "The direction of U.S. fiscal and monetary policy remains uncertain; Eurozone economies are far from healthy and China continues to transition to a more consumer-demand led economy," he said.
But it's mining that needs to dig its way out of trouble. "Despite higher mine production around the world, new orders for mining equipment remain very low. As a result, the company is holding its outlook for 2014 sales and revenues flat with 2013 in a plus or minus 5 percent range," noted Oberhelman.
"We're not seeing bright spots in mining yet, but the turnaround will happen at some point, and when it does, we'll be ready to respond," he added.
In the new year, area builders stand ready to respond to the needs of communities battered by a Nov. 17 tornado that ravaged Washington and surrounding areas.
But work to repair and rebuild over 1,000 homes that were destroyed won't be completed in just one year, said Bob Brady, owner of Bloomington-based Keystone Homes. "There's so much work out there for everybody. It's going to take time," he said.
"There are a lot of high-quality homes in central Illinois. It takes four to six months to build those homes but in 10 seconds, they were gone," said Brady.
"The building community is coming together. It's going to take all of us to get people back in their homes," he said.
High tech
The year 2014 is also likely to see more activity on the technology front in Peoria. Startup Peoria, part of Seattle-based Startup America, had its first event in November at Bradley University and looks to promote new ideas in the future, said Startup Peoria co-founder Amy Lambert.
Prospective and practicing entrepreneurs now meet on a regular basis — at 9 a.m. Wednesday at the Thirty-Thirty Coffee Co., 734 Main St., for a program called 1 Million Cups, the chance to hear two six-minute accounts of those involved in entrepreneurial activity, said Jake Hamann, CEO of OneFire Media, located in the Peoria NEXT Innovation Center, 801 W. Main St.
The Kansas City-based Kauffman Foundation developed the Million Cups format that's already a regular event in 20 other cities across the country.
Joining 20 other states across the country, medical marijuana will become legal in Illinois in 2014 but don't expect to see much business activity right away, said Peoria attorney Rodney Nordstrom.
"Estimates are it could take up to a year after the law takes effect Jan. 1," he said, pointing to three separate state agencies having to work out details of the sale of cannabis that could be sold in up to 60 dispensaries across the state.
More big changes expected for central Illinois business in 2014
PEORIA — The year ahead looks to usher in another era of change to the central Illinois business community.

Chuck Cheeze needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 17 designs submitted by 5 freelance designers.
Sew It All - http://www.sew-it-all.com
We're a web dev agency looking for a great design for a client of ours. Her name is Alicia and she runs Sew-It-All, a very successful sewing studio in San Francisco. Alicia is pretty, bubbly, and very outgoing, and her site should have the exact same personality!
- attached is an AI of a seamstress that we want to be the site "mascot". it really looks alot like Alicia. On the homepage, she should be prominent, welcoming users to the site. Feel free to remove the circle, background, whatever, in order to somehow fit her in. On all other pages, we'd like to see her in the footer, maybe in the circle with a little speech bubble saying something random, almost like a tweet. Just a sentence. Here's where we got the mascot idea: http://www.moxiedesignstudios.com/
- logo: the logo attached is a quick rework I did of her old site logo for an email we sent out for her. admittedly its not great, and if you want to modernize it with fonts or other embellishments, feel free. papyrus & gill sans currently.
- colors - Alicia really likes the brown and pink in her logo. brows is #603913 and pink is #E56596. If these need to be tweaked slightly, that is fine.
Alicia's audience is women from about 25 - 45. She teaches sewing classes at some community colleges in SF, but just opened her own studio and is hosting classes there now...
...This includes private lessons, group lessons, and sewing parties (think bachelorette parties and birthdays). There are some men but its really 99% women. Most of her clients are "city girls" who are into fashion, cosmetics, health, and living life vibrantly.
- this is a lot like what I am thinking - the character, intro text, promo boxes, images in the footer: http://www.pimderks.com/ I really like the texture of the background.
We'd love to see 3 pages - a home page, a static content page (About Us type of page) and a class page (list of classes). But we know for $500 we may not get all three. Here are the requirements:
global header:
- logo
- global nav (About Us, Classes, Yearbook, Contact Us)
- search field and button
- off, on and hover states for the global nav
global footer:

- some promo boxes to highlight current classes. kind of like these http://nohaymejor.es/
- prominent phone number and address of the marina studio. Maybe an area with "Visit Sew It All in our Marina Studio" with a pic or map, and a link to another page that has location details.
static page -
- we'll want a 2 column approach, left column with a typical submenu for the section we are in along with on off and hover states
- right column is the content column, would love to see a couple of paragraphs of placeholder text and an image or 2 floated with some cool border around the image that we can do in CSS (CSS3 OK)
- maybe a couple of form fields and a submit button we can do in CSS
classes page -
- each classes page will have a main title like "Group Classes" and then several subtitles with each of those classes, like "Private Groups", "Sewing Parties"
- Under each class type is a paragraph description, and then a listing of details about that class: Days: Monday, Wednesday, Friday; Hours: 6-9; Type: Beginner
- Under that is a list of sessions and signup buttons: May 16 - June 25 [Enroll] ; July 1 - August 10 [Enroll]

Russia's Ezhkov Turns Up the Speed on First Day of 2017 Melges 20 World League, Zadar Edition
9 June 2017
Zadar, Croatia (June 9, 2017) - The International Melges 20 Class Association (IM20CA) has officially made its racing debut in Zadar, Croatia at the third European Melges 20 World League event, hosted at D-Marin Dalmacija. Absolute perfect conditions prevailed for the start giving way to three races, resulting in a very exciting, top-three podium finish.
It was an impressive day for event leader Alexander Ezhkov's PIROGOVO. After three races in an ideal 12-13 knots of breeze out of the Northwest, he, along with tactician Daniil Adzintsou and crew Alexander Ekimov submitted a 1-2-1 scorecard to now lead the event by seven points.
Krzysztof Krempec's MAG TINY from Poland is the only other boat besides Ezhkov that managed a single-digit day bringing him to finish up in second overall, fifteen points ahead of Vladimir Prosikhin's NIKA in third.
Alexander Novoselov's VICTOR, with two of Italy's most well-known 49er sailors — Stefano Cherin and Andrea Tesei, won the second race of the day to conquer fourth overall, tied in points with South Africa's Tina Plattner and Tony Norris on TNT in fifth.
Russian colors fly high above the Corinthian standings also with 2017 Scarlino Champion Marina Kaverzina on MARUSSIA in the lead. Wilma Homann's FANTASTICHINA sits second, followed by Japan's Koji Matsumoto aboard TEMPUS in third.
The excitement resumes in Zadar tomorrow at 13.00 with three more races scheduled.
The Melges 20 World League European Division is supported by Helly Hansen, Garmin Marine, Toremar, Lavazza and Barracuda Communication.
As with other Melges 20 events around the world, racing updates will be posted online at the Official Melges 20 Facebook Page. Be sure to also follow the fleet on Instagram, Twitter and YouTube. Tune in for the latest racing information, results, video interviews and photos at melges20.com.

As you can see from the images, it is a beautiful house, very carefully renovated and looked after by the owners, so we really want this to shine through in the design.
The potential guests will be more affluent people (its 5 star rated) who will be looking to stay in the area, perhaps to play golf as the house fronts on to a golf course.
Since we're trying to encourage bookings, the home page needs to 'sell' this immediately through the design, imagery and wording - by appealing to someone who likes the thought of stylish and ultra luxury accommodation.
I'm looking for a CMS style Wordpress theme for an accommodation website – a bed and breakfast called Queenswood House. The site will contain details of the accommodation, lots of photographs, and the ability to request a room reservation. There will be a blog but it will not be linked off the home page, so no blog style designs please.
The style needs to be fairly minimal, elegant and give a boutique, luxurious feel. (QH has a 5 star rating from a local guide The AA). Although luxurious, it shouldn't look stuffy or dated with too scripty fonts etc. The photos of the property speak for themselves so should be featured prominently, the blog theme will use a image rotator to show multiple images. I have put together a rough logo, we can use this or something you if you suggest
To reiterate, I am looking for a unique, beautifully designed theme that has a great sense of style for a luxury bed and breakfast accommodation (but think of it like a boutique hotel). Use your creative flair!
Full, detailed brief is attached. I will be looking for designs that carefully take into account what is described in the brief. Good luck!

18' City Shuffleboard Table
Product Description
The original design of California House's City shuffleboard table is second to none. With its sleek modern style and sturdy structure, you can really tell the great quality materials used as well as the drive and ambition of the artistic craftsmen who created it.
The 18' City shuffleboards are the longest offered by California House. These tables make for slower, difficult control plays that require the most skill and practice. These tables are perfect for players aspiring to compete on full 22' official tournament style tables.
California House really delivers on their promise to provide completely personal, customizable shuffleboards. Even leaving aside the many different varieties of felts and finishes available to you with each California House product, the shining, gleaming surface of the tabletop shuffleboard playing field is reason enough to order one.
The City Shuffleboard has a solid 2.25″ thick tongue, and grooved beech wood play field with inlaid black walnut scoring areas. All quality-made in the USA.
- The City Shuffleboard Table is an original California House design.
- Made to order in the USA.
- Solid 2.25″ thick solid tongue & grooved beech wood play field with inlaid black walnut scoring areas.
- Standard red and blue pucks
18 Foot = 216"L x 32"W x 32"H
Maintenance Kit:
Deluxe Maintenance kit will include 1 each of the Shuffleboard Cleaner/Polish, Shuffleboard Wax, and Shuffleboard Silicone Spray.
Finish and Fabric Options
California House Shuffleboard Features
1. California House boards start with a better lumber selection. Instead of maple playfields, California House makes it out of beech, which is 11% more rigid and 19% more shock resistant than maple.
2. Because beech is so stiff, California House was able to reduce the thickness of the playfield from 3" to 2.125" to allow for the proper concavity adjustment and playability of the boards. California House also double tongue-and-grooves (TNG) the planks for superior torsion strength and to allow for more glue surface between the planks.
3. California House playfields are balance-sealed and topped with a two-part poured polymer resin built to an average of 1/8" thick. The polymer we use resists yellowing and consists of 100% solids for a rock hard playing surface that will last.
4. California House Climate Adjusters (beneath the playfield) are designed for superior fine-tuning and strength. Climate Adjusters keep the playfield slightly concave and under tension for proper play throughout the year. California House uses a 1/2" diameter all-thread with 20 threads per inch so your installer can fine tune the playability of the board. Each 1/4" thick steel bracket is fastened to the board with 12 2" long screws that go almost all the way through the playfield. The Climate Adjusters are designed by California House and cut, welded, and powder coated in the USA. Climate Adjusters are incredibly important to the playability of the board.
5. As most fine woodworkers know, balancing a piece of wood is extremely important. That means whatever is on one side of the board should be on the other to balance the moisture exchange and keep warping to a minimum. This is no more important than on a shuffleboard playfield. California House uses the same two-part poured polymer resin on the bottom of the board as we do the top. Several applications are applied to the bottom to seal and balance the board properly.
6. California House logo and scoring areas are not stickers that are applied to the wood and then sealed with polymer. California House inlays the playfield with black walnut. The best shuffleboards get the finest details.
7. Custom inlayed logos are available.
8. Perhaps the one detail that separates California House shuffleboard tables the most in the marketplace are the padded end collars. The decorative yet functional collars protect your cradle from the random flying weight (puck), gives you a perfect hand hold when shooting, and looks great. You get to choose from a multitude of colors of vinyls or leathers.
9. California House cradles are built like furniture meant to stand the test of time. Solid hardwood chassis and corner blocked cross rails with a hardwood veneer plywood cradle bottom. Legs are pre-assembled at the factory and easily mounted with 5/16" bolts into metal inserts for strength. The solid construction is another reason California House shuffleboard tables are considered to be the finest you can buy. Shuffleboards need a strong foundation to function well. Our heavy duty solid-hardwood construction ensures that the table will not budge or shift or creak under even the most spirited game.
10. California House lines the alleys (area around the playfield) of the shuffleboard tables with polyester microfiber upholstery fabric, not indoor / outdoor carpeting. Microfiber alleys let you pick from a wide range of colors, looks great, and is easier to clean than carpeting.
11. Finally, California House offers stylish, original designs that are on-trend yet feature timeless qualities. All Cal House shuffleboard tables are available in your choice of finish color, alley and collar upholstery, and are offered in a wide range of sizes. All Cal House products are made in the USA.

Undergraduates from the Yale Varsity Tennis Teams will mentor the program's students year-round; providing consistent tennis lessons and one-on-one academic tutoring.
- In the program's first year, it plans to accept about ten students ages 8 to 10. The program will be supported by approximately 20 volunteer undergraduates, as well as the tennis coaching staffs.
- Students will be selected for the program based in large part on their academic enthusiasm, attitude and work ethic, as well as a general assessment of need.
- Each student will have dedicated undergraduates that will meet with the student at least once a week for tutoring or general guidance.
- Tennis lessons will be scheduled primarily at the Yale tennis facilities.
- In addition to the weekly tutoring/mentoring meetings, the program aims to schedule tennis instruction at least once a week.
- In addition to providing access to tennis courts, the Yale Athletic Department will provide access to select facilities that can be used for academic work.
- Students will receive scholarships to attend the Blue & White Tennis Camps directed by the Yale coaches during the month of July.
New Haven Tennis Outreach & Thomas W. Ford '42 Community Outreach Program:

mosin nagant m44 $280 or 91/30 $300
Ok, so I wanted to get someones opinion. I have the option of buying a M44 for $280 for just the rifle. Its in good condition and numbers match according to the seller. My second option is a 91/30 with a mosin nagant scope kit from big 5 and 440 rounds of surplus russian steel core all for $300. this will be my first mosin. Are any of 6these prices fair. I do know mosin prices have gone up quite a bit. the M44 sems like a decent price for being good condition compared to current prices Have seen. The 91/30 also seems to be a fair price. Except that i did not choose the scope. Im sure its not a great scope, but if it were decent ill be ok with it. If its garbage then ill have to see if hell take less for the rifle and rounds. Scope is in brand new never opened package. I have seen them at big 5 and turners. Is anyone familiar with these mosin nagant scope kits? Also, the 91/30 seller wants to do a ffl transfer. So should i wait for better deals, or to see if i can grab a 91/30 from big 5 if they happen to get more. Seller does not know if numbers match on the 91/30. But i have been wanting a M44. shouldve got the $125 m59 from the pawn shop in december.
Go with the M44 its an ok price. The 91/30 is over priced. They go for around $120 for the rifle $70 for the scope kit and $80 + shipping for the ammo. But if you go with the 91/30 make sure you get the rear sight they took off so you can go with out the scope if you dont like it.
I have both. I prefer the M44. The side folding bayonet, short barrel, and compactness rules. It's a lot more fun to shoot if you like loud guns and big fireballs. The only time I would take a 91/30 is if it's fairly rare or a PU sniper. Else a basic 91/30 will never rule a M44!
Wow, I bought a bunch of M44s last year for prices ranging from $125.00 to $179.00, guess they were a good investment. My Big 5 91/30 was $99.00 and there are lots of Mosin owners here who laugh at my prices, they paid $69.00 for an M44 just a few years ago.
C&Rs are never getting any cheaper, if you want one, buy it now, shoot it and enjoy it while it is still legal in this state. If the antis and libtards in this state are successful, soon a Mosin will be one of the only guns that will be legal since they are going after all of the semis first. Then the ultra powerful and deadly accurate Russian weapons of war will be next.
Objectively, my Hungarian 1953 M44 is one of my all time favorite guns, definitely one of the most fun to shoot. You'll love it.
Brother, $280 is WAY too much. $180 is much closer to the mark. M44s are WAY more common and less desireable than, say, the M38 carbine, and I have never seen one of those for more than $200. That is panic pricing, and panic pricing for those....well...I'll be nice and just say "people" who are so deluded, as to think that a bolt action Mosin is on some sort of ban list.
And that M44 would have to be really nice to go for $180. I guarantee you this guy is going to make a real tidy profit at $280. That being said, to each his own. It's your money. Good luck on whatever you decide to do.

$300 for the 91/30 w/el cheapo NCstar scope and mount and a spam can isn't horrible. A little much, but closer to the mark than the M44 deal. Keep in mind, for some crazy reason people have been buying up ALL the Mosins in sight (these people are NUTS!) My LGS is out of them, and they had been marked up to $179 for the 91/30s!
When NO ban on Mosins come through, prices will drop. Maybe not $99 for a 91/30, but definitely less than what you see these pirates on Armslist asking. Taking advantage of people who are ignorant of gun prices IMHO.

I don't think that there will be a ban on Mosins until the antis have taken or regulated out all of the semis, so that is looking like end of this year IF SB47 passes. THEN the legislating of these high powered Russian weapons of war will begin. And I agree, $280.00 for an M44 is stupid but that may be the market these days in California?
As someone that watches the market place daily these are current market values from what I have seen here on Calguns for the last couple months.
91/30 Round 160-180
91/30 Hex 200-250
Call it crazy if you want but that is what they are going for..
Gone are the days of the 80 buck Mosin.
Remember even if AIM or J&G recently had these for less (all gone now) that does not mean that these models have been available in the first hand market to people that do not have FFL03's in CA, that drives up the price.
The above is not legal advice. It is just something you read from some dude on the internet. It does not reflect the opinion of Calguns.net. If it seems rude it was probably meant to read sarcastically.
Marlin 795 MEGATHREAD Part Deuce
WTS Hipower pistol grips
I will buy every mosin you have at your pricing. Please PM me a list. I am not joking. Please point me in the durection of sub $200 m38's.
PS, If the 91/30 described is a big five replica sniper With a $80 can of ammo, thats the deal. Its a screamin deal. Please if you pass LMK where it is, Ill buy it and give you the ammo as a finders fee. Opinions dont buy guns, CASH does!
Before all the hoopla begun to happen, I was at one of the gunshows in Vallejo last year and the 91/30's were going for about $139 and the hex ones were going for about $20 more. They were all in a crate.
I went last Sunday and no crowds, which was good. I saw some at a vendor on the table and the 91/30's were going for $280 and the M44's for $260 from him. I was told too, if you like a loud bang and a flame going out the muzzle then get the M44. I dont care for that personally. So I will look around for a good 91/30 at a decent price. I was told too, that the ammo is still pretty cheap.
I think (at least for now) the days of $99 91-30's and similar prices are over.
I bought a Polish M44 late last year for $235 and gun demand (along with the prices) have increased since then.

*sniff* *sniff* Commies...
AIM surplus had a batch of m44s for about a day before they sold out, and those were at $180. Average price for an M44 right now is $250, M38 for $300. I haven't seen ANY M38s in stores for at least 4 years. I should've bought more at Big5 for $75 a decade ago, but hey, who knew? I should've bought $179 K31 pullbolts at big5 5 years ago. Now they're $300+
Now I know that every C&R will go up in value. If you think it's expensive now, it'll only be MORE expensive later. If anything, buy it as an investment.
If...if ARs and .223 ammo is supposed to decrease, then why wouldn't the price of Mosin Nagants decrease?
I have two $139 Big-Five Hex 91/30s. I wouldn't part with them for $250.
The Vallejo 9-10 February gun show sold-out of 7.62x54R spamcan ammo late Saturday or early Sunday morning. 9mm and 5.56 went ya-ha on Saturday. But they did bring pictures of primers.
Back to 'Ifs'...If our buddy stops the importation of spamcan surplus 7.62x54aarrr, then the popularity Mosin Nagants is dismal. That is just speculation.

(covers information from several alternate timelines)
"They're showing us how far they're willing to go."
Kamikaze was a word of Japanese origin that translated to "Divine Wind". The kamikaze became famous in World War II, where Allied forces used the term to refer to Japanese pilots who made suicide runs, flying planes loaded with explosives into Allied ships. It was sometimes employed by starships, usually as an attack of desperation. The term was also synonymous with suicide run or collision course.
In an alternate reality created by Nero's arrival in 2233, George Kirk, acting captain of the USS Kelvin, made a kamikaze attack on Nero's ship, the Narada, once the crew were safely away in shuttles. (Star Trek)
In 2256, Captain Philippa Georgiou intended to pilot a worker bee carrying a photon torpedo warhead into the Sarcophagus. The tactic became unnecessary after another means of delivering the warhead availed itself. (DIS: "Battle at the Binary Stars")
In 2267, Commodore Matt Decker piloted a Class F shuttlecraft into the mouth of the planet killer, attempting to destroy it after it had killed the crew of his ship, the USS Constellation. Decker was killed, but the explosion briefly caused damage to the interior of the machine, allowing James T. Kirk to devise a way of disabling it with a larger explosion. (TOS: "The Doomsday Machine")
In 2367, Captain William T. Riker was prepared to ram the USS Enterprise-D into a Borg cube that was attempting to assimilate Earth, but Lieutenant Commander Data was able to take control of the Borg's regeneration cycle and cause the cube to self-destruct. (TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II")
In 2370, a Jem'Hadar attack ship collided with the USS Odyssey's deflector dish, causing its destruction. Despite the fact that the Odyssey was withdrawing from the battle, the Jem'Hadar made the suicide run to prove to the Federation how far they were willing to go to prevent others from interfering with the Dominion. (DS9: "The Jem'Hadar")
In 2371, Chakotay initiated a collision course against a Kazon carrier vessel aboard his Maquis raider, the Val Jean. (VOY: "Caretaker")
In 2373, at the Battle of Sector 001, Lieutenant Commander Worf intended to ram the USS Defiant into the Borg cube after taking severe damage. The timely arrival of the USS Enterprise-E prevented him from doing so. (Star Trek: First Contact)
In 2374, during the first Battle of Chin'toka, the severely outnumbered Jem'Hadar defenders employed kamikaze attacks against invading Klingon forces, destroying or crippling fifteen ships. (DS9: "Tears of the Prophets")
Also in late-2374 of an alternate timeline, the USS Voyager performed a kamikaze move against the Krenim weapon ship, causing the destruction of her vessel. The collision caused catastrophic damage to the ship's temporal core and instigated a temporal incursion upon the weapon ship itself, and the ship and all associated events were erased from history. (VOY: "Year of Hell, Part II")
In 2379, during the Battle of the Bassen Rift, Captain Picard ordered the USS Enterprise-E into a collision course with Shinzon's Scimitar after conventional weapons were exhausted. Once the vessels were entangled, he intended to destroy both with the Enterprise's autodestruct. However, the autodestruct system was damaged in the collision and the Scimitar was able to pull itself free. (Star Trek Nemesis)
See also Edit
Appendices Edit
Apocrypha Edit
In the novel "A Rock and a Hard Place" by Peter David, Picard is outraged by the actions of a maverick officer temporarily filling in for Will Riker; when Deanna Troi tells Picard that, as far as she can sense, the officer is not mentally unbalanced, Picard describes kamikaze pilots in Earth's history, saying that the pilots somehow entered a state of mind where they felt it was quite rational to fly their planes into explosive crashes.

MANLIUS – Bureau Valley School Board met in a special meeting on Thursday to award the track resurfacing bid of $43,100 to Athletic Field Services Inc of Genesee Depot, Wis., the company that originally installed the track.
Superintendent Dennis Thompson said based on past conversations, he was hoping the Bureau Valley Booster's Club would be picking up about $38,000 of the cost.
"I do believe they will take care of a majority of this; I just don't know the exact number and when," he said.
The remaining cost would be covered by the high school's building and repairs fund. He also suggested charging a small amount to the junior high's budget because they also use the track.
Thompson said if the booster club had not come forward with their offer, the district would be postponing the project again.
Board member Don DeWaele explained the project wasn't one that just came up. The resurfacing should have been completed in 2007.
"We've put this off many years already," he said. "I'm glad to see (booster club) doing it. I'm glad to see the people who originally installed the track are the low bidder."
The board agreed to accept the low bid pending the reimbursement of the Bureau Valley Booster Club for the majority of the resurfacing cost.
Also at the special meeting, the board decided to hold off purchasing two new buses at $140,000, which was originally discussed and approved at last month's board meeting.
Thompson said within a couple weeks of approving the purchase, a rumor started that the state would be reducing transportation reimbursements from 60 percent to 19-20 percent.
The district normally receives about $429,741 in reimbursements, and if the number dropped 19-20 percent, Thompson said they would only get back $103,797.
"That's difference of $326,000 ... $326,000 of change is just one more nail in the coffin around here if we don't get that switched around," he said.
Thompson recommended the board hold off on the new bus purchases until they hear otherwise. He said he would keep the board informed on what the reimbursements will look like next year.

Demand Response
Markham Civic Centre is now enrolled in Demand Response!
What is Demand Response?
Demand Response (DR) is a program available through the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) that enables companies with large energy consumption and demand to reduce their load during a peak demand event in Ontario. Peak demand response events occur just a few times a year, so peaking power plant assets run at a fraction of their capacity most of the time during the year. DR is a way for utilities to reduce the need for large capital expenditures, and thus keep rates lower overall. Instead of adding more generation capacity to the system, utilities pay energy users to reduce demand because it is cheaper and easier to procure. DR events occur all year around during weekdays that do not fall on holidays.
How can we help?
A company can participate in DR by turning off any non-essential equipment that will not negatively affect the customers.
You can personally help by unplugging your laptop or chargers during a DR event!
How will you know when we are participating?
We will let everyone in the building know through the following plan:
- eNews release sent out in the morning with time of event
- Posters set up around the facility indicating a DR event is taking place
- Select equipment turned off or put in "setback mode" during the 4 hour DR event
What are the benefits to the City and community?
The following are benefits to the City of Markham and community:
- Expands on the City's position as a Leader in Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship
- Supports Markham's Mission Statement of Building Markham's Future Together
- Revenue for the City that will help fund additional energy conservation and sustainability initiatives
- Aligns with Regulation 397/11: Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plans
- Aligns with City's commitment to PowerStream in reducing energy consumption, peak demand, and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
- Leverages existing assets to create a new net revenue stream at no/low cost or risk to the City
- Reduce the need for large capital expenditures on power generation, thus keeping rates lower overall
How can you relay your feedback to us?
Please feel free to contact us with your thoughts, suggestions, and/or questions!
If you require lights or other equipment in your area turned back on, please contact the Customer Service Contact Centre at 905-477-7000 extension 7535 for assistance.

Now that you've survived the worst stock market since the Great Depression , are you about enjoy the best?
Jim Cramer thinks it's entirely possible.
"Remember, the most important spur of investment is confidence," said the Mad Money host.
Cramer believes that 3 major factors have thwarted confidence and by proxy the stock market for quite some time: the uncertainty of the presidential election, the uncertainty of the fiscal cliff, and the uncertainty of the debt ceiling .
