Talk:Group sales
From Openmoko
{Tim Coggins 27/04} It seems apparent from the London group that there will not be 10 people in Oxford who initially want a Freerunner. Therefore I suggest one person gets an 10 pack shipped to them (to save on price, shipping and to get the goodies!) and then mails them individually across the UK. I am willing to make the order and mail the phones if we can find a way to ensure all parties interests are secure (ie. no one is going to get ripped off or left with Neo's they don't need). Has anyone got any ideas of how this could work?
- It may make sense, depending on numbers, to combine fractional 10s from several places (e.g. Hants, Oxford, West Mids). I would suggest waiting until orders are going to go in, and then shifting people around to their nearest regional organiser to make up a 10.
- Regarding security and trust of the transactions -- it's down to public reputations, I think. I'm organising the Hampshire one, and I've been active in the local Linux Users Group for years, so I know most of the people on our list, and they know that I'm pretty unlikely to run off to Patagonia with their money. I'd guess it's up to each organiser to come to an agreement with each purchaser that both are happy with. Darksatanic 14:08, 28 April 2008 (CEST)
It's barking to think that - outside of London - there are likely to be as many as 10 people who want Freerunners and who are all within 30 or 45 minutes drive of each other. It's quite obvious, IMO, that postage will be required. See the "security of payments" subsection I've just added below. Strolls 18:07, 28 April 2008 (CEST)
- Well, we've got 10 people for Hampshire already... Darksatanic 18:37, 29 April 2008 (CEST)
- Well, an active LUG is going to make all the difference. Strolls 21:41, 29 April 2008 (CEST)
UK Group Sales and shipping - security of payments
I'm prepared to pay up front for my Freerunner - at least 50% of the price, anyway - to someone with a decent reputation. Basically, if you've been posting on usenet or Linux-centric mailing-lists or web-forums for years then that's good enough for me. For instance uk.adverts.computers has always worked on the assumption of trusting the seller and paying up front - I've never been ripped off, and scammers are always identified quite quickly; obviously this identification was at the cost of at least one buyer, so in this case of an order of ten Freerunners we need some form of reputation in order to avoid that. Does the group buyer have lots of eBay feedback?
I believe that a 50% up-front payment largely solves the trust problem. What's the consensus?
In principle I'd be prepared to make the group order & post onwards (or allow collection - I'm about 5 minutes from M1 Junction 14, halfway between London & Birmingham), with the expectation of a 50% up-front payment. However cash is very tight at the moment, and I don't know that I'll be able to front the other 50%. I do have a decent online reputation, and I've been posting in Gentoo-user and on other mailing-lists for years. I can probably find at least one or two people who know me from these postings and who have visited my house or my father's socially or to pick up a secondhand LaserJet, but probably someone who has been active in a local LUG might be considered to have a better reputation. Strolls 18:07, 28 April 2008 (CEST)
{Tim Coggins 29/04} With the 50% up front model I would be concerned that once I have sent the phones out that someone would be so happy with their Neo that they might forget to give me the other 50%. What would I do if someone claimed their box was empty? Thinking about all these edge cases makes me think I might be better with a reseller and my Amex :(
- I wouldn't want to cover 50% of the price up front for even a single 10-pack. However, I've been a good member of HantsLUG for 9 or so years, I've run it for two, and I'm currently one of the team running lug.org.uk, so I've probably got a reasonable online reputation. Darksatanic 18:37, 29 April 2008 (CEST)
- Sorry - I was thinking 50% when the order's placed with OpenMoko, the other 50% when the Freerunners arrive in the UK (cash on collection or cleared funds before shipping onwards). The person making the order should be the "most trustworthy" - it's easier for everyone else to "audit" him than for him to have to worry about any one of the other 9 buyers stiffing him. But having said all that, I wouldn't have any worries about paying 100% up-front to someone like Darksatanic - let me know if someone drops out of your group, mate (assuming you're happy to Special Delivery onwards to me).

The Netherlands
Discuss possible ways how to deal with the distribution in The Netherlands.
{Marcel de Jong 19/04} I received an idea from User:Jan de Haan. We could try to find a distributor/importer, and approach that person with the question of doing the importing for us. Sadly I don't know anyone in that business, so I have no idea how to go about contacting someone like that.
{Sander Hoentjen 19/04} I might be able to help out here, next Tuesday I will talk with my ex-employer and ask if he has any ideas. (Their business is helping US companies establish market in Europe)
{Marcel de Jong 19/04}Please do. And keep us informed. Would be great if we can get this off the ground.
{Jan de Haan 19/04}Agree. For the record: the reason we are looking for a professional business to organize this for us is the inability of any person to front the money for 10 Freerunners, an amount of money ($6000,-) that almost everybody gives the hickups. So we're looking for a business that can buy us the 10 phones with the discount with the guaranteed sale of them. I've done business with sallandautomatisering (Am _not_ affiliated with them in any way) and they showed definite interest. So if Sander's way does not work, I suggest we contact them.
{Marcel de Jong 20/04} Jan, the Freerunner is cheaper than that. In group sale we're probably looking at a figure of 'just' $3690 (ex shipping, and probably other costs.) And otherwise it's $399 per sold phone (again excluding shipping costs and probably also import fees) BTW it would be good if the people interested in getting a Neo in this group sale also add contact information, so that people can be notified, if you haven't done so already. Out of 11, we're only able to contact 8, at the moment.
{Jan de Haan 20/04} The $6000 was 10x the price for the first hardware version for sale with the debug option. Btw, I'm definitely interested in the debug version, although that is sold as a separte packge. Source http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2008-April/015080.html (Thanks, Marcel. ;-) )
{Marcel de Jong 20/04} I have notified 9 people on the Dutch list about this page. The other two I have no way of contacting at the moment. Let's hope they read the community mailing list. :)
{Marcel de Jong 20/04} Yorick at this point, I'm not sure. I'm not an importer myself, just someone who is eager to get his grubby hands on a Neo. :) BTW, you could start a similar discussion on it for Belgians right here as well. Just add it to the page here. Just make a separate section on this page. :)
{André Disselhorst 20/04} I was thinking that, in the case finding someone willing to do the importing in the Netherlands would fail, we maybe could join such an initiative abroad. @Jan de Haan: I think asking sallandautomatisering will do no harm.
{Eric Smith 21/04} I can help oragnise the importing. This is something I do in my business but have very little time available. So we need to be superefficient with information and of course financial arrangements. Feel free to mail me eric _at_ fruitcom.com.

{Marcel de Jong 22/04} Thanks Jan. I hope this will work, I'm just afraid, we're going to need more people to make it viable for those stores to import it. But I see that they use a .eu domain, so if they also sell stuff over the border, I don't think it to be too hard to drum up some support from the other European groups. That way we can make a bigger market to offset those import costs for the retailer. BTW, I replaced your email address in that email, with something more spam-proof. ;)
{Sander Hoentjen 22/04} I had no luck with my ex-employer unfortunately. A comment about the Salland Automatisering letter though: You are talking about a E369,-, is that the price in Euro you are thinking about? ATM 369.00 USD = 231.037 EUR, shipping and taxes will be applied, anybody knows what the price will be for us taken that into account? How much money can a company make out of it, in order for us to still buy? I don't think a company will do it for free, but maybe they will do it for just the publicity, that can be good for them of course.
{Marcel de Jong 22/04} If I had to ballpark it, I'd say aim at around 350, anything below it would be great. I'm not sure what the shipping costs/import costs would come at. I think, looking at other consumer electronic prices in the US and Europe, it's a safe bet (lots of appliances have about the same number behind the currency symbol, whether it is $ or euro) And the $369 and $399 are still estimates, at least if I read Steve's mail correctly.
{Arjan Veenstra 20/04} Personally I wouldn't mind doing this through a private person, as long as things are properly documented (e.g. there is proof when things go wrong). That will mean having to pay in advance, but I doubt anyone of us would bother to run off with $4000. A 5 lines 'contract' is probably enough to make sure you get your money back when the Freerunner don't show up. But then, i'll just go along with the rest of you.
{Sander Hoentjen 23/04} Through a private person is also fine by me, the only problem I see is getting a proper invoice. This might come in handy when there is a problem with the phone, for which you have insurance, like I do.
{Marcel de Jong 23/04} Indeed, I'd like to get an invoice as well. If Openmoko would add a separate invoice for each of the ten phones in the box, so that everyone can use that for their warranty/administration. I don't see many problems with going through a private person. We could even make it a meet at a central location, ;) to hand out the phones, to make sure that everyone gets his/her phone.
{Eric Smith 23/04} I like the idea to have Openmoko invoice each of the group separately, if that does not kill their bulk buy offer. I am happy to go along with the proposal and send advances to someone in the group to consolidate the purchase. I work in importing so any help you need, please ask.
{Christ van Willegen 24/04} Going through one person is fine with me. I'll happily pre-pay and get my phone handed out on Utrecht CS :-)
{Jan de Haan 23/04} Update: I'm still talking with sallandautomatisering, but cannot update untill a conclusion has been reached. Sorry. But hey, at least they are talking ;-) You'll have to trust me on that. If people don't, I can talk to one other person on this list in confidence, but you got to have a little patience for the moment. As another opportunity: can somebody take a look at [1] and give an opinion? Two possibilities arise from this: we take our business there as a group or ask a Dutch reseller to import from there.
{André Disselhorst 23/04} Thank you for your work on Sallandautomatisering. I followed your pointer to Trisoft and was reminded of another shop: [2] I don't know if they continue with importing Openmoko. I will keep an eye on them.
{Marcel de Jong 23/04} And there is Handheld-linux.com, who seem eager to offer the Neo Freerunner as well. Just no Dutch stores (yet) :) Jan, I trust you. Keep up the good work.
{Jeroen van de Nieuwenhof 25/04} Maybe the people over at Mingos are willing to help out. They call themselves an IT Specialist in free software.
{Eric Smith 25/04} I Why do we not import the consignment ourselves? What are the disadvantages. I could organise and/or provide the information to someone else in the group. What is the reason that we want to put our business through a dealer?
{Marcel de Jong 25/04} I think the biggest hurdle would be the invoice, warranty-wise. But I don't mind if one of us imports it, and then distributes it. Through a meet-up of some sorts would be great. A great way to get a community feel. :)
You say you have experience with importing goods, Eric. Do you know what sorts of extra costs we have to keep in mind? Sales tax? Import costs? VAT?
Another could-be problem is with the amount of phones currently on the 'group sales list'. Currently we are at 16. Group sales are in increments of 10. So the importer could be stuck with 4 unsold phones (which of course could get sold on ebay, but it's an upfront investment in that case, with some insecurity for the importer), or 6 could get stuck with a higher expense (because they don't benefit from the group sale discount).
{Michel van Horssen 25/04} Going through a reseller you should take in mind if that party is willing to do it without taking a (large) profit. One person (doesn't have to be a business) can contact OM and ask them if the order is bigger then 10 (but not an increment of 10) the discount would still be valid per Freerunner. Or maybe one of the german resellers would give the same discount if an order above 10 pieces at once was given and send to one central person. You'd pay german VAT but that doesn't matter you would have to pay dutch VAT if you import it directly from OM. Just my 2 cents. A reseller in Holland has to ask for VAT either way as well so...
{Marcel de Jong 25/04} A similar question was asked on the mailing list, and Steve from openmoko came back and told us, that "{t}here will be two products. Buy 1 OR buy 10.{...} So, if you wanted 11 you would buy a 10 +1." It could be that that's changed. But I kinda doubt that. Well, ok, yes, VAT is needed. But I was kinda looking for a list of extra costs to keep in mind, when importing goods on this scale. Does customs take a fee, or something.
{Christ van Willegen 25/04} Customs _sometimes_ lets packages go through without VAT, but not always. If it isn't clearly labeled they guess what's in there and tax you on it. Also, indeed, Steve said that 10+6 is out. By the way, you'll need to 'sell' 9 of the 10 phones to break even, be careful ordering 20 and selling 16! Buying 16 (10+6) and sharing the costs would bring it to $369 instead of $349 per phone.
{Marcel de Jong 25/04} Not to nitpick, but the price is already $369 per phone in the 10 pack. But you do have a point. Though I think you can easily sell those off via ebay or marktplaats or any of the other online auction sites. Too bad it isn't out yet. Would have been great to have a box them and stand in Amsterdam during Queensday, selling the phones. ;)
{Jeroen van de Nieuwenhof 26/04} I see we are at 17 already. Let's just try to get to 20 for the Netherlands. If we have that amount i am willing to import the phones for the group order, but i think we just should pay normal tax etc. and not try to avoid that by taking the chance the customs won't notice our package.
{Peter Hageman 26/04 10:00} Before the Freerunner hits the streets we will heave 30 or more people joining. The price of the Freerunner won't drop with 20 or 30, but the shipping costs might.
{Christ van Willegen 27/04} (I cut out a lot of somehow duplicated comments. If anyone misses anthing, I appologise for the inconvenience) I agree with Jeroen van de Nieuwenhof about not willing to avoid taxes. Neither do I, but it happend, sometimes. If you are willing to import phones for us, that would be wonderful. Thanks!
{Eric Spierings 28/04} Guys, I thank all of you for working on this issue. Unfortunately I cannot add anything valuable to this. I'll happily join Christ while picking up the phone at Utrecht CS. :-)
{Arjan Veenstra 28/04} Shipping costs are, reading from comments on the community list, around $16 per piece for the 10pack. We might save some more ordering 20 or 30 at once, but we could consider placing seperate orders and have these delivered at more convinient places. (We migth, depending on the numbers, even mix and match with the guys in Belgium. Perhaps for some Antwerp is closer then Utrecht...)
{Marcel de Jong 28/04} Just commenting to add this link to Steve's message to the mailing list, with an estimation of the UPS shipping costs. (For us, it is a bit more expensive, but the UPS website isn't exactly cooperating with me. If someone else could look it up. The number I got for expedited delivery was 170.94 USD, for the 10-pack, and 184.20 for UPS Worldwide Express, but I'm not entirely sure if that number is correct. Somehow the site demanded I enter in the dimensions in (rounded up) inches. So those are estimates. But my take is that it's probably wise to use the expedited, because the delivery date is in all options about the same, with one difference: Express is delivered before noon, and Expedited before the end of the day.
{Jan de Haan 29/04} Hi All. I'm sorry, but the dealer I was talking with, is not interested:
Geachte heer, Ik heb gekeken naar de site Trisoft.de Ik vrees dat het voor ons niet interessant is om hier zaken mee te doen. Wellicht dat u zelf kunt bestellen bij Trisoft.de Wat ik heb gezien is dat er geen KvK of BTW nummers zijn en gewoon als particulier het e.e.a. geregeld kan worden. Met vriendelijke groet, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Product Management / Technical Support Salland Automatisering
Maybe we should take their advice and order through trisoft. Anybody know anything about them? If we can pick them up ourselves (for me a 3 hours drive) we might be able do it. Main problem will be to front the money.
{Michel van Horssen 29/04} I think, reading the mail list, that 10 packs need to be ordered from the US so Trisoft is not an option I think. 1 Entity should order the 10 pack(s) and then distribute them to the other people. I could ask around maybe someone I know can be the central entity.
{Eddy Boer 29/04} @Jan de Haan: Maybe you can try Azerty (www.azerty.nl). The people who founded Salland Automatisering have started that new company some years ago.
{Marcel de Jong 29/04} But then point them to Openmoko.com/.org, because that's AFAIK the only way of getting the group discount, give them the link to the mailing list post.
But I think right now the best way is to have one or two people place the group order, and distribute it from that central location, either through the mail or through a meeting. (The latter has my preference)
{Jan de Haan 29/04} Ok, following mail is on it's way to azerty. Sorry Madjo, sent before I saw your comment.

Hoogachtend, J. de Haan. PS Reactie kan via mijn email adres of via de bovengenoemde pagina, deze mail wordt daar ook gepost.
{Michel van Horssen 29/04} Hi again, had a talk and we, OpenSource Nieuws Nederland would be willing to be that one entity who places that order in the US. There are a lot of things that would have to be worked out and costs have to be calculated but we would be willing to help and organize this with your help. There should be a page were people could signup once the price is known (first in first out untill a 10 pack is filled) and all would have to be paid in advance before ordering because we can't pay that amount of money in advance. Let me know if this is an idea or that you rather have an hardware reseller handle, is also cool, just let me know. OSNN is a company with a VAT number and if we will invoice individually but will not do waranty, if you want that then you need to order with trisoft or an other company. Warranty on the 10 pack is still a thing that needs to be answered on the list I think.
{Eddy Boer 30/04} I have also found a company who is interesting to help us. They don't sell hardware but woodworking machines, and they use opensource software as much as possible. We have talked about it and they want to buy the phones at Trisoft due to the warranty, but when you don't worry about warranty ...... Al the phones they buy should be already sold to you and the total amount should have a factor of 10 (10-pack). When the phones were arrived you can pick them up with an invoice of the company or they send the phone to you (with an invoice), but then you have to pay shipping costs. All the phones should be paid before they place the order! Belgium is also welcome!
{Marcel de Jong 04/05} I know I can't speak for all of us here. But me personally, I have a little bit more faith in the offering of Open Source Nieuws Nederland. Sorry Eddy, btw, I doubt that phones sold through Trisoft would fall under the group sale. But I could be mistaken.
Provided we get answers on the warranty thing from Openmoko, I think that's our best bet.
{Jan de Haan 05/05} Ok, let's take a quick vote (btw, any reseller who is interested in taking 10 way orders can extend this table):

{Jan de Haan 07/05} I'll vote to wait until there are actually phones shipping, until that time, the more people we gather here, and maybe other dealers, the better the deal we get(I hope).
{Theo Martens 08/05} Well, I want to have the phone as soon as possible. The best deal ever isn't my main concern.
{Marcel de Jong 13/05}
I've been browsing the mailing list, and found this post from Openmoko's Steve. Group sales have 28 days of DOA (Dead On Arrival) coverage, and single sales have 14 days of DOA coverage. Which I think is reasonable. BTW, I don't think there will be a better deal than the $369 per phone for the 10-pack.
We currently have enough people to fill 2 10-packs, which is awesome!
What we do need to figure out are the import costs, and the shipping costs. (it's shipped via UPS, if I recall correctly from the mailing list.)
{Yorick 20/04} I'm from Belgium, would shipping be possible to Belgium? I'm very interested. thanks.

ali do toga trenutka ovako ja razmišljam:
1.) skupimo 10 zainteresiranih 2.) ja nazovem carinu i agenciju za telekomunikacije 3.) pitamo openmoko za shipping estimate 4.) ako su svi i dalje za, skupljanje sredstava i na kraju narudžba

Martin Šenkeřík> jak jsem psal, já do Zlína jezdívám, a od května do září budu ve Zlíně velmi často, takže se Zlínem není vůbec problém.
Jinak už se objevily nějaké termíny. Jestli jsem to dobře pochopil, tak 9.5. by už mohla začít masová výroba a brzy na to by měl začít prodej...
Pavel Kovář>> Jak by měl vlastně vypadat? Takový ten bíly se mně moc nelíbí. Radši bych měl černý.
Michal Pěnka> Protože jsem jedenáctý a nevím, jestli bude možné objednat 11 kusů nebo jen po desítkách, domluvím se s Tomem Vargou později (jestli by byl ochotný pro převoz do Prahy), každopádně bych také raději ten černý.
Pavel Kovář>> Jak to tak tady pročítám tak to půjde objednat za zvýhodněnou cenu (+pytlík? a headset) opravdu jenom po desítkách. Ale IMHO když této stránce zvedneme popularitu (případně přiberem Slováky) tak jich budem nakonec brát minimálně dvacet ;) Mně osobně připadá datum 9.5. hodně optimistické.
Martin Šenkeřík> FreeRunner bude pouze v jedné barevné variantě, a to černý. To datum 9.5. mám odsud
Pavel Kovář >>Nemáte někdo fotku freerunnera ? na wiki jsem zatím našel jenom fotky GTA1-čky

Martin Šenkeřík> No tak například tady to máš dokonce na videu: http://youtube.com/watch?v=k9QLdK6pFCI ;-) Ale jinak i na wiki se povalují fotky FreeRunnera. Například hned ta první na hlavní stránce ;-)
Pavel Kovář>> To video je parádní. Co se týče té fotky z úvodu wiki, myslel jsem, že je to jenom render. Jinak jak jsem tak bloudil po stránkách české pošty - nejlevněj to nejspíš vyjde poslat jako profibalík za myslím že 64korun. Za dobírku se něco ještě připlácí.

Prozatím bych navrhl, aby se zájemci z Prahy (Čech) zapsali / potvrdili smazáním otazníku v distribučním schématu, možná něco podobného pro Slovensko - momentálně to vypadá, že bude snazší sehnat 20 zájemců celkem a taky by se tím mohla situace trochu vyjasnit. Osobně jsem schopen zajistit dovoz z Brna do Prahy, Liberce, Jablonce n.N. a přilehlých končin. Případné návrhy sem ;)
Pavel Kovář>>> Řekl bych že čím větší balík poletí za Ameriky sem tím levněj to vyjde. Pokud není poštovné na gramy. 20-ti zájemců se určitě dočkáme. Když počítám Františka Horínka z Bratislavy tak je nás 18. Co se týče bonusů na headsetu moc nelpím ale ten pytel by se mně vážně hodil. Často v kapse kombinuju mobil a klíče nebo šroubovák...
Michal Bořek>>>> Poštovné samozřejmě není na gramy, ale na libry, neboli každých započatých 0.45 kg se platí, plus se poštovné započítává do cla, mimochodem taková zásilka asi jen tak přes celnici neprojde, takže je možné, že nikdo (příjemce) bude muset dodat na celnici případné dokumenty dokladující hodnotu zasílaného zboží.
Jan Mareš>>>>> Tak dle "platného" celního sazebníku by se clo nemělo platit. Viz [Sazebník] strana 568. Tedy by se hradilo pouze DPH. Aspoň si myslím, že 20 telefonů jako "dárek" asi neprojde.
Michal Bořek>>>>>> No tím lépe, ale tak já to beztak myslel jako celý celní dluh a to dph je právě i z poštovného.
Miloslav Machotka> Koukám že jsem trochu zaspal dění. :) V distribučním schématu jsem se připsal k Praze. Mám to nejblíž, jsem z Vlašimi, ale jinak jsem pro to schopen dojet i do Brna. Jsem pro to aby se to vyřešilo, pokud možno, po desítkách a pak to rozvést (rozeslat) po Čechách a Slovensku. Bonusy se asi většině lidí hodí.
Pavel Kovář>>>>>>> DPH musíme taky platit ?? To je mrzuté. Kolik mají DPH slováci ? nevyšlo by to levněj poslat do Bratislavy a stama "propašovat" k nám ? Když už máme ten šengen... Nevrátí nám třeba amíci DPH které za to zaplatili u nich ?
Jan Mareš>>>>>>>> Co je mi známo, tak při obchodování mimo zemi se DPH neúčtuje a účtuje se až v cílové zemi. Dle rok starého článku na měšci je základní sazba stejná, tj. 19%. Od DPH by to šlo odprostit pouze pokud by na tom balíku bylo napsáno, že se jedná o dárek. Pak se na to daň neuplatní. Jakmile se mi povede najít ustanovení/článek, tak jsem dám odkaz.
Martin Šenkeřík> No ono je stále ještě otázkou, odkud to vůbec budou posílat. Protože sem někde viděl informace, že se budou snažit zásobovat Evropu z nějakého centra v Evropě. O tom dárku jsem taky slyšel, ale prej to taky není zaručený způsob. Celníci se do toho můžou podívat, a uvalit na to daň podle vlastního rozhodnutí (prej). Jinak ale je tu ještě možnost, že by nám to někdo dovezl. Nevíte jak to funguje v tom případě?
Jan Mareš>>To centrum v Evropě bylo v plánu avšak levněji jim to vyjde posílání z Ameriky, takže bude k dispozici jen jedno centrum v USA. Ohledně toho dárku jsem doposud četl, že jeho částka nesmí přesáhnout 55€, jinak je normálně proclíván. Při osobním převozu jsou nastaveny limity výše viz [celní správa].
Pavel Kovář >>> Kdyby vezl dva tři tak by možná ukecal že je to dárek ale dvacet...

At the conclusion of the Spring 2013 meeting of the Board of directors of the National Association of Wabash Men, leadership of the group passed from outgoing President Greg Castanias '87 to Greg Estell '85.
Kip Chase '03 steps into the position of Vice President-President-elect.
Castanias has set a very high standard for all who follow. Greg's leadership style has been on of setting goals and expectations and leading from the front. His personal drive and enthusiasm has been a source of renewed board energy and activity.

Center Theatre Group has announced that Ed Begley, Jr., Felicity Huffman and Rod McLachlan have been cast in David Mamet's "November." Mamet's fiendishly funny comedy set in the Oval Office will be presented at the Mark Taper Forum, September 26 through November 4, 2012. The opening is set for October 7.
Just in time for the 2012 election, "November," which will be directed by Scott Zigler, takes place a few days before a presidential election and incumbent Charles Smith (played by Begley) is in for a rough month -- his campaign funds are running out, his poll numbers are "lower than Gandhi's cholesterol" and the sofa needs to be reupholstered. But although his speechwriter (Huffman) seems to have defected, his chief of staff (McLachlan) has all but given up and his wife is planning for her post-White House life, Charles isn't ready to throw in the towel quite yet.
With Mamet's characteristic no-holds-barred style, "November" is a scathingly hilarious take on the state of America today and the lengths to which people will go to win.
Ed Begley, Jr. first came to audiences' attention for his portrayal of Dr. Victor Ehrlich on the television series "St. Elsewhere," for which he received six Emmy nominations. Begley was featured in David Mamet's production of "Romance" at the Taper in 2005. He also starred in the West Coast premiere of Mamet's "Cryptogram" at the Geffen Playhouse in the role that he first performed in Boston and then in New York. He can be seen in a number Christopher Guest films, including "A Mighty Wind," "Best In Show" and "For Your Consideration." Other film credits include "Pineapple Express," "Batman Forever" and "The Accidental Tourist." On television, Begley has had recurring roles on "Gary Unmarried," "Six Feet Under," "Arrested Development" and "Boston Legal." Ed directed several episodes of the hit show "NYPD Blue" as well as his own play, "Cesar and Ruben," that won a Nos Otros Award and four Valley Theater League Awards.
Felicity Huffman is best known as Lynette Scavo on the ABC series "Desperate Housewives" and received Emmy and SAG Awards for her role. Huffman was nominated for an Academy Award for her role in "Transamerica" and also received a Golden Globe and an Independent Spirit Award. Huffman is a founding member of the off-Broadway Atlantic Theater Company, where she has been featured in numerous plays including "Dangerous Corner," "Shaker Heights" and "The Joy of Going Somewhere Definite." Huffman appeared in David Mamet's "Speed-the-Plow" and received an Obie Award for her portrayal of Donnie in Mamet's "Cryptogram." Other stage credits include "Oh Hell" at the Lincoln Center Theater, "Boy's Life" directed by William H. Macy, "The Loop" and "Grotesque Love Songs." Film credits include "Phoebe in Wonderland," "Georgia Rule," "Christmas with the Cranks," "Raising Helen."
Rod McLachlan has been on Broadway in "Holiday," "The Government Inspector," "Timon of Athens," "Saint Joan," "The Real Inspector Hound," "Our Town" and "Death and the King's Horseman." McLachlan is a member of the Atlantic Theater Company and has been in a number of David Mamet's plays regionally, including "Keep Your Pantheon" and "A Sermon" (both at the Kirk Douglas Theatre), "School" and "Edmond." Film credits include "California Winter," "Lesster," "Superhero Movie," "National Treasure," "Magnolia," "Where the Money Is," "Instinct," "Conspiracy Theory" and "Radioland Murders." He has been seen on television in "Medium," "Quarterlife," "Boston Legal," "CSI," "Numb3rs," "The Handler" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm," among others.
Scott Zigler directed Mamet's "The Old Neighborhood" on Broadway and has directed numerous shows off-Broadway and regionally, including "The Woods," "Sure Thing," "As You Like It" (with Felicity Huffman), "Strawberry Fields" (Atlantic Theater Company) and the world premieres of "Suburban News" and a new adaptation of "The Cherry Orchard." Other Mamet plays he has directed include "Romance," "The Cryptogram," "Glengarry Glen Ross" and the national tour of "Oleanna." He is a founding member, past artistic director and senior acting faculty of the Atlantic Theater Company and is Director of the American Repertory Theater/Moscow Art Theatre School Institute for Advanced Theater Training at Harvard University.
David Mamet was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1984 for "Glengarry Glen Ross," for which he later wrote the screenplay. His other plays include "Speed-the-Plow," "American Buffalo," and "Boston Marriage," among others. CTG has presented "Romance" (2005-2006 season) and "Oleanna" (2009 season) at the Taper, and "Keep Your Pantheon"/"The Duck Variations"/"A Sermon" (2007-2008 season) at CTG's Kirk Douglas Theatre. Mamet's screenplays include "The Postman Always Rings Twice," "The Verdict," "The Untouchables" and "Wag the Dog." He has directed 10 films. Mamet created and was the executive producer of the critically acclaimed CBS-TV series "The Unit." He is a founding member of the Atlantic Theater Company, and the author of the bestselling "Bambi vs. Godzilla: On the Nature, Purpose, and Practice of the Movie Business"; "The Wicked Son"; "Three Uses of the Knife: On the Nature and Purpose of Drama"; "True and False: Heresy and Common Sense for the Actor"; and his current "The Secret Knowledge: On the Dismantling of American Culture."
Additional casting will be announced soon.
Tickets and information are available at CenterTheatreGroup.org, the CTG box office located at the Ahmanson Theatre, or by calling (213) 628-2772. Center Theatre Group has announced that Ed Begley, Jr., Felicity Huffman and Rod McLachlan have been cast in David Mamet's "November." Mamet's fiendishly funny comedy set in the Oval Office will be presented at the Mark Taper Forum, September 26 through November 4, 2012. The opening is set for October 7.

My 13-year-old grandson, Ethan, is quite a soccer player, if I do say so myself.
He's played club-level soccer for the last several years in his North Carolina community, and he's a star on his middle school's varsity soccer squad. Whenever we travel east, I catch his games.
I've become a soccer fan myself. Well, more precisely, I'm an Ethan fan.
Hard work and dedication have turned him into a fine player, but genetics factor into the equation as well. Like the sport itself he's a citizen of the world, and his soccer skills seem to reflect his family's World Cup-esque diversity.
His fraternal grandfather was born in Liège, Belgium, and grew up playing the sport on the banks of the river Meuse. His fraternal grandmother hails from Jalisco where Chivas de Guadalajara is the most successful club in Mexican football. His Dutch-Indonesian maternal grandmother was born on the isle of Java and reared in Amsterdam, where the Dutch football club, Ajax, dominates.
And how do we close this perfect genetic loop with the ideal maternal grandfather? Sadly, with my underwhelming dossier!
I was born and raised in Orange County — a place considered a soccer wasteland throughout my childhood. To be sure, O.C. was a soccer-free-zone when I was Ethan's age, in 1958. We were years away from the first humble beginnings of AYSO.
While stationed with the U.S. Army in Korea in the mid-1960s, I had my introduction to soccer: kids kicking round bundles of rags in dirt alleys. I've never played soccer in my life, except for a couple of pickup matches in a college physical education class after my military discharge. I had no idea what I was doing.
Ethan's maternal great grandfather was a talented soccer player in Indonesia. Ethan's fraternal uncle was an American collegiate goalie, and his dad was a pretty fair American high school player.
His many Dutch, Mexican and Belgian second, third and fourth cousins play the sport at a variety of levels.
Though I contributed precious little genetically to Ethan's football acumen, I bought him his first soccer ball when he wasn't quite a year old. In fact, he began kicking that ball as soon as he started to walk. It preceded him into and out of every room in the house.
I also bought him a mini NBA basketball hoop hoping he'd learn to slam dunk. I'm still hoping.
Ethan is a big fan of the U.S. men's and women's national soccer teams and of Manchester United of the English Premier League. He knows the MAN U fight song by heart, and has a red and yellow MAN U banner hanging above his bed. He also has photos on his wall of English player Wayne Rooney, Dutch player Robin van Persie and Argentine player Lionel Messi.
When I was his age, I idolized Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays and Elgin Baylor. I'd never heard of Pelé. But, since Ethan started playing five or six years ago, I've become a bit of a soccer geek.
Ask me anything you want know about set pieces, Ronaldo's hairstyle, or Hope Solo. I've got the answers.
Ethan's world is very different from the one I grew up in. Mine was far more monochromatic.
Until I was a teenager, I'd never been east of Needles, north of Marin County, south of the San Diego Zoo or west of Point Reyes. He has me beat on all points of the compass.
I grew up in a household where only one language was spoken — English. When my wife, Hedy, and I visit North Carolina, you can hear English, Spanish, Dutch and an occasional smattering of French being spoken in Ethan's home.
For a guy who wasn't raised with the sport, I've come a long way — and Ethan's carried me there on his back.
Now, when he "takes the pitch," I know enough about the sport to understand he's not sitting on a fastball.
And he bends those graceful curving shots just like Beckham.

Come on America, use your turn signals!
A study released over the summer has confirmed what I think a lot of the population already knew: Turn signal neglect is causing millions of crashes each year, with no end in sight.According to a study conducted by the Society of Automotive Engineers [SAE] in 2012, 12,000 lane-changing and turning vehicles were observed and a whopping 25 percent of those drivers were incompetent to the point where they were unable to use their turn signals, and 48 percent, nearly half of those observed, did not use a turn signal when changing lanes or failed to turn the signals off. That is beyond asinine.According to the study, the figures total two billion times in a day that drivers fail to properly use signals; that equates to roughly 730 billion times in a year.Because of drivers' idiocy to not properly use turn signals, the SAE study concludes that the problem is directly responsible for two million vehicle accidents a YEAR, more than doubling the 950,000 figure that the U.S. Department of Transportation released for "distracted driving" crashes.I cannot even fathom what would be a viable excuse for not using a turn signal? Perhaps the device to engage the signal is too far away? No, right next to the driver's hand… does the device weigh a thousand pounds?… no, probably an ounce of resistance… are drivers rebelling against society and law enforcement officials, or some other farce along those lines? I sincerely doubt it.When it comes right down to it, it appears many drivers are ignorant and lazy. And those traits have cost a lot of people a lot of money, as this study has been accepted as fact.So what to do about it?Much like a reminder system that alerts a driver and passengers when a seat belt system is disengaged, many car manufacturers are thinking along the same lines for turn signals.The study from the SAE suggests the "Smart Turn Signal," a system that would "automatically shut off a turn signal, likely by timing out after a set delay or by detecting when a vehicle has finished changing lanes-- much as today's cars automatically cancel the signals after making a turn at an intersection."Furthermore, for those of the moronic variety who just refuse to use their turn signals, the system would have a "friendly" reminder similar to the seat belt reminders. The "Smart Turn Signal" system would reportedly actually cost less than the "current mechanical trip mechanism" and reduce vehicle crashes, repair costs and insurance premiums.This is what we've been reduced to: If drivers aren't intelligent and courteous enough to utilize their turn signals, car manufacturers will just make it so any idiot can drive regardless or whether or not they're smart enough to remember to use their turn signals.While I support this system in new vehicles, I don't think it's enough. The state of Pennsylvania levies stiff monetary fines for serious violations to the vehicle code, but I don't think we've even scratched the surface.The wonderful state of Pennsylvania maintains a point system for people who have a license to drive; the list for offenses ranges from failure to stop for a red light (3 points) to improper passing on a hill (4 points) to careless driving (3 points). Nowhere on the list is failure to use turn signals. While no points are put on a driving record for a conviction, the guilty driver will usually pay a fine and costs of about $109.50, but will not receive any points.That's a fine of $109.50 for an act that causes approximately two million crashes a year. Again, another stupid miscue. I find the exclusion from the points list to be appalling, especially considering the astronomical number of violators as evidenced by the SAE study. It is my sincere hope that in the future, the fine is doubled and the violation introduced in the vehicle code as having at least two points for failure to properly use turn signals.Furthermore, I am strongly opposed to any law enforcement officer letting anyone go with a "warning." That is bogus; if you break the law when driving, whether it's speeding or failure to use turn signals, you should be getting slapped with a monetary fine. There should be no "warning" about it.If the realization that two million crashes happen each year because of failure to use turn signals doesn't sway an irresponsible driver to start doing things properly, take it one step further and hit the drivers where it really hurts: their driving records and their bank accounts.–Joseph Bell is the editor of The Kane Republican.

Does Television Advertising Really Work?
Fund: Madrona Venture Group
Posted by susan.rits on 2012-05-03
I pitched this VC last year and found them less than informed about our industry (television advertising) and our business (mCommerce). I don't remember who we pitched to, but he made a a lot of naive comments like "do people really want to buy something they see on TV?" and "I don't think mobile commerce is likely to catch on." I think most ad agencies would dissolve in a fit of giggles by these questions. Unfortunately, at the time I was not so amused. Our company is a technology-driven television ad agency that makes mCommerce companion apps for TV shows.PRIVATE: Members Only (296 Characters)

Owlz's Cron smacks three homers
Angels first-rounder making transition to pro ball look easy
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com | August 2, 2011 8:51 PM
The Angels' first-round pick slugged a pair of solo shots and a two-run blast for the first three-homer game in team history Tuesday as the Rookie-level Orem Owlz cruised to an 8-3 victory over the Ogden Raptors.
"It's a pretty special feeling. It's my first three-home run game ever, so it's definitely memorable," said Cron, who also doubled in his second straight four-RBI game. "I felt great out there and I was actually squaring a few balls up. I hit them well and they went out."
The 21-year-old designated hitter pulled a leadoff homer to left field in the second inning, then went the other way to right with two out in the third to make it 2-0. In the fifth, he cleared the fence in left-center, the deepest part of Lindquist Field.
"I was leading off the [second] inning, so I knew I was getting a first-pitch fastball," the Arizona native said. "It was a little bit up in the zone and I hit it well. Then the second home run came with two outs and no one on, so I knew they were going to challenge me. [Derek Cone] fell behind 2-0 and he came with a fastball that I was able to hit out to right field."
After smacking fastballs out of the park in his first two at-bats, Cron knew to look for something soft when he stepped in to face Cone for the third time.
"I knew that because I hit the other home runs on two fastballs I was going to get an off-speed pitch the next time," he said. "He threw me a 1-0 curveball and I was waiting on it. I've basically been using the whole field my whole life. I've been doing it a long time."
Cron grounded out in the sixth and laced a one-out double to right in the eighth. Off the bat, he thought he might be circling the bases for the fourth time.
"My teammates were making sure the chance for [a fourth homer] didn't leave my head," the University of Utah product said. "I saw a few good pitches in my fourth at-bat that I should have hit hard. And then in the eighth inning I hit a ball off the right-field wall. I thought it had a chance, especially with the wind blowing out that way, but I settled for a double."
The three-homer performance tied the league record and was the first since Missoula's Eric Groff accomplished the feat in an 8-6 victory over the Owlz on July 16, 2010.
Cron leads the league with 11 homers and has seven in his last nine games, despite playing the entire season with a torn labrum in his right shoulder.
"My shoulder has been feeling good, but I haven't thrown since I've been here," said Cron, selected 17th overall in June. "Right before the first game, I had an MRI on it because it was too painful to catch and the doctor said I had a torn labrum. The way it's looking, I may still need surgery this year, but I'm taking it day by day.
"I would much prefer to play in the field, but it is not my choice. Between a new bat and the switch to DH, it's been a tough transition from college. But thankfully, I'm showing that I can still hit."
Cron's offense proved more than enough for southpaw Nick Maronde (1-0), who recorded his first win since the Angels took him in the third round of the Draft. He allowed a hit and a walk while striking out four over shutout innings, lowering his ERA to 1.04. The University of Florida product has not given up more than one run in any of his first five starts.
Cone (0-2) took the loss after surrendering seven runs on seven hits and four walks with three strikeouts over 4 1/3 frames.

Today's magnitude 5.8 earthquake centered in Virginia rocked communities up and down the East Coast, but Father Michael Duffy, pastor of St. Jude Church in Mineral, Va., told Catholic News Service a couple of hours later that "everyone is fine here. No one is injured."
Mineral is in Louisa County, Va., the quake's epicenter.
Father Duffy said he felt the quake in the rectory, while he had been meeting with an insurance adjuster about another matter. "The whole house shook," he said.
He said there appeared to be no structural damage, but "a lot of messy damage" at the church and rectory. He said that the area's older mission church, Immaculate Conception in Bumpass, Va., also appeared to be fine. It was built in 1876.
At St. Jude, holy pictures fell off the walls and smashed and holy oils fell out of the ambry, the priest said. He said also said there were cracks in the plaster, a broken water pipe and some damaged light fixtures.
Father Duffy said he was surprised when someone told him later that the town of Mineral was the epicenter of the quake.
"Why are we having earthquakes here," he said he asked himself. "Nothing happens in Mineral, Virginia. No one even knows we exist here…. Now they'll know."
The pastor said some parishioners called after the quake to find out if he was OK. He said no one called to report any injuries. He did say that he was concerned about nearby nuclear power plant especially after this year's devastating earthquake in Japan.
"Both our churches are near a nuclear power plant and many parishioners work there. This is a big concern." He did say he found out that the reactors at the plant were taken offline.
There are two nuclear reactors at the North Anna Power Station, located near the
epicenter, and a press release from the office of Gov. Bob McDonnell confirmed that the reactors were "automatically taken offline by safety systems." The governor's office also said that in Louisa,"the middle school and high school suffered damage. Crews were checking bridges and government buildings statewide."
Elsewhere in the region, safety inspections were taking place to evaluate any damage to buildings, roads and infrastructure. A major concern was potential damage to gas lines in homes and workplaces, with civil authorities urging people to check their status, and that if they had any doubt about their condition to evacuate immediately and call emergency responders.
As the region tried to get back to normal after the first major earthquake to hit Virginia in a hundred years, transportation around the District of Columbia and to most of the suburbs remained difficult for some time with highways clogged, subway trains slower than usual and some traffic lights on city streets out of commission.

10 Collaborators Kendrick Lamar Should Work With On His Sophomore Album
Kendrick Lamar is hard at work on his sophomore album right now. In a recent interview with Complex, he revealed that he's already recorded about 40 songs for the project. But he's also far from wrapping things up.
The album is still taking shape and it'll take some time before Kendrick has enough material to put it all together. So we'll have to be patient while Kendrick continues to work. That's not necessarily the worst thing in the world. The fact that he's still working on the album—and seemingly working pretty damn hard on it—means that Kendrick is taking his time and doing whatever it takes to make it every bit as good as good kid, m.A.A.d city.
It also means that there is still plenty of time for him to get into the studio with some of his fellow artists in the near future to record. With that in mind, we came up with a list of 10 collaborators we think Kendrick Lamar should work with on his sophomore album. Hopefully a few of them will make the cut.

Whew, everyone. We finally know why Kim Kardashian and Nick Cannon broke up. This has been bugging me for eons!!! Wait. That's not what I meant exactly. I meant Nick Cannon has finally told us why he and Kim Kardashian broke up and I was all, They dated??!! It's kind of the same, but not really. Anyway, the point is, Nick Cannon -- that's Mr. Mariah Carey, thank you very much -- dished on The Howard Stern Show about the end of his four-month relationship with KayKard (does anyone call her that?). And he tells us exactly what made him hand Kim her walking papers.
The pair dated from late 2006 to early 2007, before either of them was really famous. In fact, in this pic of them together, it hardly looks like Kim. This was pre-fillers and Botox and possible nose job, I'm guessin'. Anyway, Nick spills the beans on why he dumped Kim even though she's "one of the nicest people I've ever met." (And surely she put out. But that's another story.)
You can probably guess that it had a lil' something to do with Kim's infamous sex tape. Ya know, that one she made with Ray J. But it wasn't that she HAD a sex tape that made Nick think twice. It was that, well ... I'll let him tell it.
We talked about this tape. And she told me there was no tape. If she might have been honest with me I might have tried to hold her down and be like 'That was before me,' because she is a great girl. But to tell me there's no sex tape?
Hmmm, so it sounds like Nick is a stickler for that ol' truth thing. He must have been a tad surprised when the tape surfaced -- everywhere. The same tape that she supposedly told him didn't exist. Isn't this kind of like how Kim neglected to mention to Kris Humphries that she'd been married before? Methinks Kimmy has a little problem with the truth. Or maybe the truth isn't a problem for her at all, because she just ignores it. Anyhoo.
Nick also drops the non-shocking news that Kim may have been involved in the sex tape's release. He bluntly says: "And I still think she might have even had a part to play with [its release]." Gee, Nick, do you think oxygen might be in the atmosphere too? Had ya heard that one?!
Well, both of these kids went on to great fame and fortune -- and love lives. Nick is now happily married to Mariah Carey and has twins. Kim is now happily making headlines with Kanye West. And Kanye knows about the sex tape. But does he know about Nick?!
Just imagine though -- if Kim hadn't lied about the sex tape, maybe they'd still be dating. And then the world wouldn't have been deprived of a celeb couple we could call "Kick." How awesome would that have been?!
Did you know Nick and Kim once dated?

Finished size approximately 66 X 88
Created by Vickie E
• Figgy Pudding Layer cake ™
• Figgy Pudding Charm pack ™
• 3 yards Figgy Pudding sku# 3015054 Grunge Brown
• Batting 75X 96
• 6 yards Backing & binding
Choose 40 prints from your layer cake and square to 9.5 inches. Set aside. Then choose 32 prints from the charm pack. There will be a few extra charms which I set aside for a coordinating pillow.
Repeat that process with 16 more charm squares. They should measure 18.5 inches square.
I used my design wall for placement of all my Layer cake squares. Once I decided on the arrangement I began to sew them into 4-patches.
You will need 10 4-patches measuring 18.5 inches square.
Here they are on my design wall.
The next step is to cut the sashing and border strips.
I do not care to piece my borders. I cut the selvage off the entire 3 yards. I save it for selvage quilts! Once the selvage edge is cut that becomes my straight edge for cutting. You need 10 strips cut at 3.5 inches X WOF (which is about 108 inches). If you notice, I left the fabric folded as it came off the bolt. Therefore when I make my cut…I am actually making 2 strips per cut. 5 cuts will yield 10 strips. There will be some leftover fabric which I am using to make a coordinating pillow (tutorial soon??).
Take a strip and cross cut them 18.5 inches, do this for a total of 8 strips.
Sew the 18.5 inch sashings to the blocks.
Then add the horizontal sashings which can be cross cut to approximately 66 inches. You will need 5 horizontal strips. I would measure your quilt before cutting as there is always variations in stitch width that could affect the overall size of the quilt.

Abandoned Mine Lands

California's Abandoned Mines: The Golden State's Environmental Legacy
Since the days of the gold rush of 1849, California's mountains, valleys and deserts have been a source of precious metals and other minerals. California's complex and diverse geology produces more than 700 mineral commodities, making California one of the nation's most mineral-rich states. However, the mining and mineral-processing practices of the past were not subject to today's environmental standards and have resulted in the discharge of millions of tons of waste rock and mill tailings to the land and waters of California. The unrecovered minerals and metals — most commonly arsenic, lead and mercury — in waste rock and mill tailings are released into the environment through natural processes over time, causing a threat to human health and the environment.
Abandoned Mine Lands Problem
More than a century and a half of mining in California has created an estimated 47,000 abandoned mine land (AML) sites. Historical mining and ore processing at these AML sites have resulted in the generation and disposal of millions of tons of mine wastes to the land and waters of California. Learn more about AML problems.
DTSC's Abandoned Mine Lands Initiatives
DTSC addresses AML sites through a variety of programs and activities. Learn more about these initiatives.
DTSC's Hazard Assessment and Remediation Process
Once an AML site has been identified and is under DTSC's oversight, hazard assessment typically begins with a site investigation (a preliminary endangerment assessment) to determine the nature and extent of contamination resulting from past mining activities. Read more about the process here.
DTSC's Abandoned Mine Lands Initiative Team
DTSC formed an AML Initiative Team in December 2008. The DTSC AML Initiative Team is composed of chemists, biologists, engineers, toxicologists and geologists who collaborate in a multidisciplinary effort to provide efficient, consistent oversight and technical support to landowners, cities and counties addressing AML issues. Learn more about the team here.
Examples of AML Sites
Listed and categorized here is a partial list of AML sites and projects that DTSC and the AML Initiative Team are working on. There may be more up-to-date information on the EnviroStor web site.
Outreach and Grants: Support to Communities and Abandoned Mine Land Stakeholders
DTSC is committed to developing and expanding relationships with AML stakeholders, providing assistance to local agencies and other stakeholders, and educating the general public about AML issues. Learn more about our outreach efforts.
Partnerships and Collaboration with Federal, State and Local Agencies
DTSC collaborates with federal, state and local agencies and other AML stakeholders to help pool resources for the investigation and cleanup of AML sites, as well as for other issues, such as area assessments, research efforts and community outreach. Learn more about our partners.
Success Stories
Through DTSC's AML Initiatives, DTSC has implemented investigations and cleaned up sites affecting human health and the environment. Listed here is a brief summary of several Success Stories.
