Following a decade of inactivity and a multi-million-dollar sale, the former GM assembly plant in Janesville, Wisconsin, which once employed as many as 7,000 workers, will soon be reduced to rubble to ease the redevelopment of the 300-acre site.
If the plant can owe its existence to any one individual, that would be James A. Craig. In the 1910s, Craig worked for the Janesville Machinery Company, which built farming implements in the southern Wisconsin city. Craig somehow got wind of GM's plan to enter the farm tractor business to compete against the Fordson and convinced William Durant to allow Janesville Machinery to manage that business for GM. In true Durant fashion, he not only bought Janesville Machinery for $1 million in 1918, he also bought the Stockton, California-based Samson Sieve-Grip Tractor Company, moved the latter to Wisconsin, merged the two companies under the Samson name, and built a grand new factory for the division.
Tractors, a handful of trucks, and the unique Model D Iron Horse followed, but Samson could never come close to Ford's market share. Lawrence Gustin, in his book "Billy Durant: Creator of General Motors," also pointed out that a looming recession caused a slump in farm prices and thus spelled doom for Samson; Gustin quoted Pierre du Pont's estimate that the tractor business cost GM a total of $33 million by the time the company pulled the plug on Samson in 1923.
It wasn't all for naught, though. Chevrolet, in the middle of a period of massive growth, already had assembly plants in Flint, Tarrytown, St. Louis, Oakland, and Canada, and could use a few more for both its car and truck lines. So as Samson production ended at Janesville, Chevrolet production started. (The division also added factories in Buffalo and Norwood, Ohio, that year.)
A Fisher Body plant accompanied the Janesville plant at about the same time, and aside from a year during the Depression and the World War II years – when Oldsmobile operated the plant and produced artillery shells – production continued into the 21st Century. In about 1981, Janesville switched from full-size cars to J-chassis compacts, and then in the late 1980s the plant switched from building pickups to building full-size SUVs and medium-duty trucks.
Only the SUVs and a handful of medium-duty Isuzus were rolling down the Janesville assembly lines by 2008, though with rising gas prices curtailing sales of full-size SUVs and GM sliding into bankruptcy, GM CEO Rick Wagoner announced that June that the Janesville plant would close. The SUV assembly line wound down that December and the Isuzu line in April of 2009.
Unlike other former GM plants that were offloaded during the company's 2009 bankruptcy, the Janesville plant went on standby status and remained GM property, according to The Detroit Bureau. Not until January 2016, when, as part of GM's renegotiated contract with the United Auto Workers the UAW agreed to allow GM to sell the plant, did the plant go off standby status and on the market. It then remained on the market until December of last year, when Commercial Development Company of St. Louis bought the 4.8-million-square-foot plant and the 265-acre property it sat on for $9.6 million.
As Commercial Development Company CEO Randall Jostes noted in a press conference shortly after the purchase, the new owners intend to raze most or all of the factory to clear the way for redeveloping the site.
"We believe we've looked at every possibility of preserving some of the structure, but it doesn't look like that's possible. We haven't ruled it out completely. So it looks like we're going to have to demolish the 4-million-square-foot facility," Jostes said.
The Detroit Bureau reported this week that demolition equipment has moved onto the site.
UPDATE (16.April 2018): All equipment in the plant will be sold at auction starting Monday, April 23.
I delivered bulk anti freeze there many times in a tanker. They had a little break room near the receiving office with some snacks & drinks in those super old mechanical vending machines. This was in the late 1980's. It was like a step back in time. Those machines had to be over 25 years old. Was sorry to see the place close causing job loss to many people. The liquid bulk receivers were always very nice to us.
My '01 Tahoe was built there. Sad end to a historical facility. The Tahoe was a well built vehicle and only had a transmission issue.
You can take the man out of the Badger, but you can't take the Badger out of the man. Janesville, look at you, you were once so proud. This story hits a huge nerve, and thanks to Hemmings for featuring it. GM and Janesville went hand in hand for years. I've even delivered to the plant many times. The biggest problem was, like Kenosha, it's age. I remember the loading docks looked like from the 50's. It would have taken a massive rebuild, and in the later years, only certain portions were used, mostly for warehouse. When GM pulled the plug in '09, it literally devastated Rock Co. It had the highest unemployment rate in the state. Locals remained hopeful it would be used for something, but it never happened. Like Kenosha, Janesville has rebounded with other industries, and soon, like Kenosha, you'll never know some of the best vehicles made, were made right in Wisconsin.
I've lived in Janesville for the past 18 years. I never was employed at GM but was involved in two projects our engineering firm did in the plant installing high-purity water for corrosion-resistance systems and water-based paint lines.
The GM plant closing was very hard on our community, sunk everyone's home values for many years, and caused an awful lot of personal stress, family crises, and even some suicides. The workers had a very hard time adjusting to the fact that they would never find another job that had the pay and benefits of GM. It's hard to lose a $80K job and take a new one for $30K or $40K with no benefits…if you could even find a job. Some did not. A lot of collector cars, boats, snowmobiles and other toys were sold.
But now, in 2018, we are doing pretty good. New companies have opened, real estate values have returned to at least pre-closing figures, unemployment is pretty low. New homes are being built, new stores, and restaurants are popping up.
Hey, Wisconsin people are resilient and we still have the attitude that we can weather the storm.
I am so glad to hear that! I hope it continues well for all you awesome folks there.
In 1984 I special ordered a new GMC that was built at the Janesville plant, it was the worst truck I've ever owned. I should have never accepted delivery. Slipshod paint and trim, unbalanced driveshaft, AC compressor dead right out of the box. That truck gave me nothing but trouble the whole time I owned it. I finally had to dump it at a substantial loss. Just relating my experience with a Janesville unit, my Atlanta & Baltimore GM trucks were vastly superior.
I bought a Brand New Chev C-20 built in Janesville in 1970. Fuel gauge was NOT calibrated (I ran out of gas with gauge showing 1/4 tank full. It was only a week old). Also the throwout bearing was binding on the input shaft housing. The dealer didn't want to do anything with it. I ended up trading it. It was very hard to drive in stop&go traffic with the clutch not wanting to release. Must have been a "Monday Truck".
More likely a "Friday" Truck, built after lunchtime.
By the guy with the white socks, cut-offs and tank top no less.
Hi Bill, I'm sorry to hear that. I'm pretty sure that resonated throughout the industry. I have a lot of compassion for the American auto worker.( or any auto worker, for that matter) These things coming down the line, sometimes these people had less than a minute to do their task, and if something happened farther down, it rippled down the line. A new hire could have easily grabbed an unbalanced driveshaft, A/C compressor was built somewhere else, and I worked in the auto paint industry back then, they all put out some shabby jobs. Should have leaned on the dealer more, the squeaky wheel usually got the grease. They were the ones responsible for fixing those things, not the poor worker.
But then the dealers would reply "why the hell are WE getting stuck fixing problems that the idiots on the assembly line should've caught?!?"
Back then in the 'dark ages', line workers were NOT ALLOWED to stop the assembly line if they had a problem.
Then agaim, if the Big 3 automakers weren't so hellbound to keep the lines moving at 60+ vehicles per hour, then maybe a LOT of those little 'defects' would've been caught in time, or never occurred in the first place.
Hi Jason, I know, it's a vicious circle. The dealers were probably overwhelmed. We've talked about this before, all the boo-boo's that came out of the factory. Every company had the "reject lot". Mismatched emblems, 2 two different kinds of wheel covers, but the clincher, for me, was a Ford pickup with no transmission. Got to remember, human beings were making these, not robots.
Howard the missing transmission would of made me think twice too lolo….
I worked in a Chevy dealership in the early 70's. We had sold a new Suburban and the guy had a "rattle" somewhere in the right rear of the thing. I tore into the rear panel and found an empty Coke can stuffed inside against the body sheet metal. On it was written with a marker pen "how long did it take to find this". We assumed it got put in there at the factory
Of course America could have made efficient, high quality automobiles in the 1970s… if the Big 3 wanted to. Deming didn't ply his Statistical Process Control trade here… he taught post-war Japan how to do it. The rest is history. Some blame the unions, and sure that was a difficult thing to manage at the time, but everything (always) traces back to top leadership and the decisions they make.
Sad. My 1942 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup was made in Janesville, WI, during the first week of January 1942. Guess time marches on.
The impending demolition of the Janesville, WI Chevrolet plant makes me a bit sad. While I was raised in the New York area, I attended and graduated from Milton College in the late 1960s. At that time, the Chevrolet Plant was by far the biggest single employer in the area. In fact, many of the businesses in the Janesville area existed primarily to support the Plant. One summer, I worked at a company named Gilman engineering that manufactured automation equipment that was destined for the Chevrolet plant only a few blocks away.
I also worked at a speed equipment shop named Racequip located in Janesville, and I can tell you absolutely for sure we could tell when it was pay day at the plant! The very next day a long parade of young guys would be in there buying performance parts and accessories for their GM products!
Janesville will forever represent to me the essential middle-American city. The people were hardworking, family oriented, proud of their family, their country, and their work. When I first moved out there from New York, everyone I went up to asked me to slow down when I spoke….and recognized…you're not from around here. After that, and a good laugh, I made a lot of wonderful friendships.
Go Janesville! Sorry the plant has to go, but I hope a new business will develop to help your people maintain your wonderful way of life. Ultimately, it is the people that make a place great, not the buildings.

Gotta love those "safety" Daisy Dukes that fella's wearin there…
I worked in an oil refinery in the late 70's and we were removing asbestos insulation materials with coveralls and particle dust masks!
There is somethin to be said for most of the OSHA rules in the trades now…
Were it not for photographic evidence most people under 40 would not believe someone could be working an auto assembly line in Daisy Dukes, a tank top and tube socks.
Reminds me of a Will Ferrell SNL character.
I have a DVD (promotion film from the factory) of some guys working the line at the Studebaker Hamilton plant 1964-65 with out shirts ! Guys spray painting the bodies without any masks or protection. Couldn't believe it but it's there.
As a resident of Janesville it couldn't happen soon enough!
We special ordered out '89 Chevy Cavalier wagon and it was built at Janesville. It had the 2.8 liter 60 degree V6, the heavy duty performance suspension…deCarbon shocks, BF Goodrich T/A tires etc. It was a great little sleeper for an econo car. Not too many problems in the 14 years we had it.
We had a 1989 "Brass Hat" Cavalier with the 2 liter pushrod for banger. It could haul 4 adults with all their luggage, on cruise control at ninety miles an hour. That little Chevy hauled ass, and was a cinch to work on (replaced a head gasket myself.) When I had the head off, I took it to Race Tech in Lawndale, CA and had the ports cleaned up, and blueprinted. With crank fired ignition, and a big throttle body, it ran like a little race car. We got over 200,000 miles out of it, traded it in on a Isuzu Rodeo. My daughter was three at the time and said, with a tear in her eye "Goodbye Chevy." I felt the same way, it still ran like new. Amazing car. It never missed a beat, except for the head gasket.
Our '89 Cavalier with it's 2.8 V6/ HD – performance suspension, over size Goodrich T/A tires…ran like a top also. In the 14 years we had it…head gaskets and heater box once and the alternator…that was it. I surprised a few cars with it…both acceleration wise and handling, the engine was the same the Z-24 had back then..it moved for a small car….and was as reliable as a Swiss watch…a good Swiss watch.
That year was I believe the first departure from the "boxy" Cavalier to the smooth as a bar of soap design. Since ours was painted white, everybody thought it was a rental. The wife and I would commute 60 miles per day to LAX through some bad neighborhoods. In fact, I was making a deposition in Laguna Beach for my company, I was riding my 1980 XS1100 Yamaha Vision touring bike, and the traffic was nuts! It was the first day of LA Riots, and when I got home and turned on the news, there was Amparo (my wife) whipping a U turn on Florence and Normandy in the Cavalier.
My husband and I bought just a plain basic 1989 cavalier and it was built in Janesville. I believe it was the last year they built them there. That was the most reliable car we ever had except for the regular basic upkeep nothing went wrong with it (except fuel, alt., water pump). He drove it to work all the time. His goal was to get 250,000 mi on it! Well, the poor baby died on him about 2,500 mi short of that goal! So no complaints on that car here.
I haven't heard the term "Brass Hat" for many years. Our local Buick dealer loved to get them because he could make a great deal on such a vehicle.
You just described my '90 Cavalier wagon! And you're right, it was a sleeper. That engine had throttle response NOW. Its bland gray paint only added to the sleeper image. Its favorite victims were drivers who pulled around it to the right at traffic light intersections that briefly turned one lane in to two and expected to easily get ahead before the road went back to one lane. Watching the humiliation of having to pull in behind that bland piece of s*** in my mirror, sometimes triggering high beams, horn blasts and/or tailgating was one of life's cheap thrills.
The above post was meant for 76impala. I forgot to put it in "reply"
I knew it Pete.
My '89 Cavalier wagon was also gray. When we factory ordered it from the Chevy salesman, the salesman said.." whaddya want the V6 in that thing for ? It'll turn it into a hotrod! Believe me, yah don't want a hot rod !!"
My wife looked at me with a wondering eye…I replied we want the V6 for passing safety.
At first she didn't want the performance suspension, V6, etc…extra cost and she is not a car enthusiast. But very quickly found that she loved to drive it, as she found it very responsive…it would accelerate and handle very well.
Here in Baltimore the plant was closed around 2005. Built big Chevys and pickups from the 1930s. In August 1963 started the A body Pontiacs and Chevelles (GTOs and SS396s). The site is now an Amazon distribution center.
…And Monte Carlos. My '71 SS454 was built in Baltimore.
Our '97 Astro, factory ordered, G8o Eaton Locker, HD suspension, O/S tires, 3.42 rear drive axle…was ordered from Baltimore. Very good van, towed our trailer with it, drove our kids all over the place had it for 10 years…one vehicle that I really miss.
I can understand not being able to retain the complete site…but…it would be nice if part, like the main entrance or other unique design feature, could be worked into future development.
This may be comparing apples to oranges but recently [ok…over the past few years] an aged arch, under which persons would enter the Minnesota State Fair grounds after traveling to the Fair [usually by trolley] in days gone by was discovered discarded and wasting away in a field where it had lain for years. The arch was recovered and now serves its original raison d'etre on the north side of the fair grounds. Although the trolleys are long gone modern mass transit still serves the area bringing fair-goers to enter through the resurrected arch.
I agree; the facades of specific buildings can be a fitting tip-of-the-hat to the past. With a property that large I'm guessing it won't be only homes and with the amount of homes that may include schools, libraries, and rec centers are going to be needed. There's usually always a way to save just a small piece of history.
If this building had architectural significance I would agree with trying to preserve some elements, but looking at the photo I see a fairly nondescript facade that could be any early 20th century government or industrial building. Heck it kind of looks like Rydell High School from the Grease movies. I think this facility had some historical and economic importance but the building itself doesn't seem worthy of the expense of preservation.
Side note. Rydell High was actually Venice High. The statue in the front was sculpted using Myrna Loy as the model. She was a teen then and later became a famous film star.
Sadly, developers are rarely interested in historic preservation. Clearing a site give them a blank slate on which to plop any mundane project. With a little imagination, this complex could be honored with the selective preservation of a key aspect. It's a shame, since once the history is demolished, there is no bringing it back.
My 1932 Chevrolet pickup was built at Janesville in May of that year. All the new Chevrolet's sold in our area came from the Janesville plant as well. Drove thru Janesville but never stopped at the plant to look at it. Always hoped there would be a Chevy meet there so I could take the old pickup "back home".
This must have been before there was a dress code.
And safety rules.
There never was a dress code. No air-conditioning, I worked there for thirty years, never saw any male person wearing daisy duke's. I worked in the paint department, a dog one night it 126 Fahrenheit in that place. It sucked.
Yes Phantom Hawk, I remember it well. As a 15 year old kid, we would hitch-hike down south from the " lakes area" to the State Fair and cross under the arc. Am glad to hear it is back.
My 1951 station wagon was built there in February. It would be a fun trip to drive up there for a photo of the car in front of the plant. It will likely be gone before I get the chance to do it (950 miles round trip)
Another remnant of American manufacturing bites the dust. Wonder whether the "redevelopment" will be owned by China …
I ordered a 93 GMC Yukon GT that was built there if I recall correctly. It was a nice SUV, the only vehicle I ever ordered because I wanted a specific color combination. Sorry to hear of it's demise, I didn't know it even closed.
Janesville must be taking a page out of Los Angeles' book for demolishing landmark buildings full of ghosts that once worked and built America. What a shame the huge factory building couldn't have been used (repurposed is the word) for other things, like experimenting in battery technology (GM's Electramotive division maybe?)
I just found out the hull of my Ship, the U.S.S. Independence CV62, commissioned in 1958, like me, was towed from Bremerton Naval Mothball fleet to some beach in Texas, where it's been sold to India (?) and it's been beached, waiting to be cut up like a whale. For 1/8th of what the new Ford class carrier costs, the Indy could have been refitted, and out to sea for another fifty years. Idiocy knows no bounds in the Military, or local governments it seems.
Many old ships end up in India at ship-breaking yards that have nothing in the way of occupational safety or environmental rules.
It is not a decision the City of Janesville has any say in.
The property was owned by GM and was sold to a developer who has a long track record of "re-cycling" properties like this. There is ground contamination, many very old areas of the building, and it has been completely stripped of equipment. A big, deteriorating shell.
The developer will do whatever is necessary to make some money on it.
American capitalism, not the city, decides it's fate.
electromotive division built railroad locomotives. not autos. also, that division was sold a few years ago. caterpillar now owns it.
The GM Heritage webpage linked in the article needs to be updated. It states that the plant still makes GM trucks and SUV's to this day. Sad that the place has to be leveled…too bad the building couldn't have been repurposed.
My 1987 Chevy K20 Silverado long bed single cab was built there. Ordered it in Guam while working civil service for the navy based in port hueneme CA. Had it delivered to Reno Nv dealer to avoid CA smog build. By the time it got delivered I had taken a job in Stamford CT. New company paid for shipping to east coast. Good truck overall. In hindsight I should have ordered a crew cab. Rarity in those days. Even rarer today in good condition. Especially a single rear wheel.
GM didn't offer an extra cab until 1988 redesign. A crew cab, 4 full doors was offered, but they're longggggggg….
My 57 Chevy convertible was built at the Janesville plant in the third week of August 1957. I had hoped to make a trip up there with it for pictures and to see for myself where it was made. Sadly that's one more thing I'll never be able to accomplish.
Being only 70 miles away, many of our family's cars over the years were built there including the '64 Bel Air 4-door sedan that inspired my interest in cars beginning when I was 3. The domino effect of closing a plant in a "company town" like Janesville with $millions ($billions?) lost from housing, retail, wholesale, trucking, rail and taxes/government services was devastating and turned lives and families completely upside-down. Factories like A.O. Smith in Milwaukee provided millions of car and truck frames and metal stampings to Janesville and that was gone too as were many other distant supporting businesses.
Neither of my current '64's Impalas were built there (Flint and St. Louis) but a couple of years ago I took the SS there to drive around, take pictures and salute the place. It's a massive site with mismatched additions everywhere. The sale and demolition is sad but will be a blessing to Janesville because it will clear a site near the river that could become a picturesque showplace for the city. Let's hope a good job is done with the planning.
I also hope the new owner discovers and saves any historical records of production details, dates and other records that might still be there.
I worked at the general motors plant for over 11 years. This is a very sad time for me. This is a shout out to all my fellow workers employed at our Janesville General Motors Plant who put in many hard working hours to build quality vehicles. I have many good memories through the years of my employment at GM. I know they will make good use of the vacant space but its bitter sweet its was a huge part of history.
no one has mentioned JATCO. what's jatco ? Janesville auto transport company. I used to see those trucks hauling new vehicles on i90 and i94 when I travelled over there.
My dad hauled cars for Arthur Transportation, which turned into JATCO for 34.5 years. He was the best salesman that GM ever had. He was recognized as Professional Driver of the Month by the state of WI in July 1983. By the time he retired in 1992, he had driven the equivalent of to the moon and back with zero damages.
Thank you for mentioning JATCO, it is sad to drive by there with the current state of things.
Change will be great for everyone here.
Unfortunate. Most heritage structures have an almost impossible chance against the wrecking ball. Industrial heritage structures have about as much hope as floating an ice cube across hell.
My first reaction, like many , how does that guy show at work with a striped tanktop, Short shorts and white socks ?
I live in Cohoes N.Y , known as the Spindle City. Once the greatest maker of cotton products due to their looms and spindles. But the buildings remain, and were developed into magnificent apartments with high ceilings .
Too bad that wasn't done in Janesville.
Those buildings in Cohoes all look great.
My 94 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 was built at the Janesville, WI assembly plant. I special ordered this vehicle and I still have it. I believe that Janesville was also the home to the Parker Pen Co.? What happened to them?
Parker Pen closed a few years before the GM plant did. They sold that building to Rubbermaid who also eventually closed sending their production to China.
Parker Pen was bought by a British firm, production moved there, then sold to Asian company, or whatever. Gone from the US.
Parker's Arrow Park modern office complex is still there, owned by investors (I think) and subletting to a few companies or Government offices.
All of the GM support businesses (JATCO. Lear Seating, and others) are all gone.
GM has a very large railroad access and very good trucking access areas which are appealing to some manufacturers.
Many warehouse / distribution companies moving in with warehouse type jobs and truck drivers hired. There are some new Medical tech/radioactive medical devices and starting in the area. Health Care is now Rock County's largest employment sector.
My first new car was a 1988 Cavalier that was built at that plant…. The Windshield leaked and I had to run premium fuel because the car ping and knocked on regular but was a good car over all
My father and 6 of his brothers put their lives into that plant. All hiring in very young and putting in over 30 years. In that time many if my cousins and myself also put a lot of our lives into it as well. In may I will be the last if our family to retire from General Motors. The end of two eras in the same year. I guess it's a fitting coincidence.
Might I suggest that a museum or more be allowed to remove some artifacts, so in some small way part of the history of the place can be preserved and shown to future generations, so that they may know what the work that was done there. Maybe someone could contact the new owners and ask for permission. How about the Wisconsin Automotive Museum? Also I`ve work in some big factories for many years, I`ve done metal fab work and welding , so I can not have bare skin that can be cut or burned or hurt, but there are area`s were you can still dress like that, were the place can be pretty warm, even during the winter. Maybe not the daisy dukes nowadays… Just make sure to wear your safety glass and ear plugs!
It's hard enough to re-purpose a car dealership, let alone a factory. So many GM plants have closed and so much of their product line is made overseas these days. With Toyota/Mazda building a $1.2 billion dollar plant in AL it just seems wrong that the Buick Regal comes from Germany. The bailout kept them alive at the expense of the former owners, debt holders, and taxpayers ($13 billion), but for many workers and towns it was still curtains. I'm watching Lordstown Ohio very closely.
I remember visiting Janesville plant in summer of 1954. Not allowed to see changes underway at Fisher body plant for 1955 Chevrolet.
My 49 Chevy 3600 truck was built there. Bummer!
While it is so sad to know this is being torn down it also has been sad to drive by and see it idle – bittersweet. Thankful for the 30 years and being a second generation worker there. I would like to at least find out how to get a brick from the building .
Easy, get a hardhat, slip in and grab one, anybody asks what you're doing there, tell them you're new with the demolition crew, and weren't sure where you were supposed to be that day.
Never worked at Chevy Janesville/Fisher Body, but I literally wouldn't be here had it not been for that plant — or, at least, the Samson tractor plant that preceded it. My mother's family moved from southwestern Wisconsin to Janesville in 1290 or '21, so Grandpa could go to work in the factory — the 40-acre ridgetop farm where Mom was born in 1914 wasn't making it.
But although neither my dad or brothers worked for Chevy, it was still very important in our lives, like it was to the community. Dad sold insurance, and a lot of his clients and potential customers worked at the plant, so we alway had to drive Chevys. (Until Mom inherited some money from her parents, and she bought an Olds.) Many of my friends, classmates and relatives worked at Chevy/Fisher; when production was shifted elsewhere, many ended up in Indiana.
Our lives revolved around the Chevy plant in other ways. In the fall, when the new cars were introduced, Dad would take us down to Harrison Chevrolet to see the new models. We lived about a quarter-mile from Hwy. 51, and could see the JATCO trucks rolling north, their cargo of cars covered my canvas; my older brother and I would fantasize about what was underneath those covers.
Last time I saw the plant was the day we buried Dad. We drove past coming back from my brother's — acres and acres of parked Suburbans and Tahoes. Imagine the damage one hailstorm could have done there …
Then influence of Janesville Chevy/Fisher lives on in me — until recently, my family owned three Chevys. Still have two.
I was a GM Truck Design Engineer involved in the launch of the 1992 Suburban/Tahoe at the plant from the spring of 1991 to the fall. I saw the corn planted and harvested in Janesville that year. It was a a long slow launch but we worked with wonderful real people there. Far different from both the Flint and Pontiac plant experiences. The usual UAW approach was absent in most of the workforce. They worked with engineering and management to achieve a goal. As an engineer I was even allowed to install my parts on the line to personally experience the need for a requested change in the design by the assemblers to faciltate a good assembly. In my first visit to Flint I was asked why I was wearing a tie and if I wanted it cut off by a line worker holding a pocket knife. Janesville had a wonderful group of people who treated this Detroit enginer like one of the team. It is unfortunate that a facility with a workforce like that could not be redeveloped into a modern assembly facility, but it was outdated at that time and more so by now. I am confident that the site redevelopment will be successful and provide some more good jobs.
In reply Bozo1: I really hope they do put something (s) there that would bring good paying jobs for people here. I drive two hours round trip to work I would love to be able to work close to home it makes for long days
I have a 1957 chevy bel Air that was built at the Janesville GM plant.
Too bad they can't save that beautiful old yellow brick building. Condos, maybe?
As far as all the above comments on "best car/worst car I ever had was built there", lets face it, spotty design and quality control was GM's hallmark during the late '70s and '80s, regardless of where the thing was built. Everybody has heard the soda bottle/can stories. Yup, it happened. Look at the problems the British had with their car industry during that same time period. There were a lot of disgruntled employees that felt like they were entitled to more. It took the Japanese starting to really kick everyone's butts to wake the domestic manufacturers up, here and abroad.
Has somebody done a video walk or drive around the factory? It reminds me of Amsterdam New York, endless huge brick and stone buildings, up and down the hills, all repurposed to have vagrants, drug addicts, and little wild animals. There are many videos on YouTube of abandoned factories and the like. People creep in and take beautiful pictures before it's all piled up in a Dusty Mountain. It would be nice to see what was, before it's all gone
I bought a new Janesville-built 1979 Chevrolet Impala, two door sport coupe. We drove that Chevrolet for over 20 years, with both kids learning to drive in that car. We put on just over 300,000 miles on that car, before it finally succumbed to the Buffalo winters. Rust pretty well killed that car. I gave it to a local repair shop, thinking they could use some of it for parts. The following summer, I was at a local speedway, and in one of the lower classes, a two door Impala was entered. As I was watching the race, I kept thinking, "Could it be?" And that Impala won the race! I had to know, was it my old car? At the end of the race card, I went down into the pits, and found the car. I had put a trailer hitch on it, and asked the new owner if there had been a trailer hitch on it. He replied "unfortunately yes, it was a son of a b_____ to get off. " I was almost afraid to look at the dash, as mine had a a slight imperfection on the lower right corner, a one inch gasket or something was sticking up about a quarter of an inch. I looked, and there it was. In an extreme case of anthropomorphism, I thought that the old girl knew I was there, and gave me one last gift.
My 64 Imapla SS convertible, first year of the SS model, was a built in Janesville. It was a rare 327 4 speed car and was a beautiful representation of the final year of that body style. Car is still in existence and touring streets of CA. Too bad the plant has to be destroyed!
Found a note on Wikipedia regarding the Chevy SS:
"…Super Sport, or SS, is the signature performance option package offered by Chevrolet on a limited number of its vehicles. All SS models come with distinctive "SS" markings on their exterior.
The SS package was first made available for the 1961 Impala.
Some of the other models bearing the SS badge include the Camaro, Chevelle, El Camino, Impala, Monte Carlo, Nova and Chevrolet Pickup Truck. Current SS models are produced by the GM Performance Division…"
My 1994 Chevy K2500 Suburban 6.5 Turbo Diesel was built there. Never had the paint problems seen on the GMT400 chassis.
Had a 1977 Chevy Impala coupe from Janesville made in Sept 1976. Light green with white hardtop and 305 2bbl, AC and AM radio. Transmission failed just past 50K and the shop that fixed it said that I basically had a "modified Chevette transmission" which, per their analysis, is why the heavy car killed the trans. Can't confirm as I did not pull the trans and make the repairs. Had another 77 Impala– dark blue 4 door, 305 2bbl, AC–from St Louis and it was better than the Janesville Impala. Granted, the Janesville Impala was one of the first off the line for the newly redesigned 77 model year and some quirks may have been fixed during the model run. Got 200K from both and eventually sold both. I did see the blue St Louis 77 several years later pushing 300K. I don't want to see the Janesville plant destroyed.
N25… I think your trans was a downsized version of the TH350, would that have been a TH275? I guess they left the TH350 in the clothes dryer too long, and it shrunk…
The TH200, an entirely different tranny, wasn't much good either, but when beefed up, it gave good service in the Grand National. The 4 speed 200-4R OD version sees alot of use in non-Chevy engined (BOPC) hot rods, and once the proper billet parts are installed, they give good service.
There was a TH 250 at one time.
My 56 Chevy was built at Janesville. Paternal grandfather bought it for my mother after touring the Euclid factory in Moraine Ohio, drove it back to Oregon and gave it to her. Took me and all my brothers through college. Currently, It sits patiently awaiting restoration.

Destiny 2's Best PvP Classes & Subclasses, Ranked
The classes most likely to kill you.
9: Dawnblade Warlock
Destiny 2 Best PvP Classes, Ranked
The Dawnblade Warlock is in an interesting predicament in Destiny 2. It's not necessarily bad at anything, yet it finds itself in the middle of the road for PvE and just average at best in PvP. Still, in PvP it definitely has its uses and does have some higher survivability than the other Warlock classes, as well as the ability to cause a lot more mayhem with its super.
Warlock grenades are nothing to write home about, with the exception of possibly the Fusion grenade which is worthwhile as long as you manage to stick it to your target. When it comes to mobility, the Dawnblade is lacking, especially when compared to the more lithe Hunters (or even the Voidwalker). However, its air perks and super (if you can manage to charge it during a match) do help out quite a bit, especially since many players still panic when an opponent takes to the skies.
With the Attunement of Sky, you can fire weapons and throw grenades as you glide, and kills while up there will recharge your grenade and melee. You can also do an air dodge and increase your mobility by getting kills with your melee ability. This is very valuable, as it will allow you to pick off players behind cover much more easily, although it does leave you as a sitting duck in the sky. Plus, it's useless in more closed maps and areas with low ceilings. Attunement of Flame offers Phoenix Dive which is possibly the only really useful perk in that tree for PvP. It allows you to drop from the sky and heal. Perfect for when you jump up for some quick headshots and take a few licks yourself.
Without the ability to self-revive, though, this Solar Warlock just isn't as interesting as Destiny 1's Sunsinger. It's super is powerful, albeit quite easy to dodge, which does put it above some others, but if you're trying to really impress Lord Shaxx in the Crucible you may want to look elsewhere. Although, the only person to ever best Shaxx does happen to be a Warlock…

VIDEO: Black Activist Says Trump Policies, Unlike Obama's, Create Jobs for Black Americans
Project 21's Horace Cooper joined The Daily Signal's Genevieve Wood to discuss the historic low unemployment rate for black Americans and how the left is co-opting Martin Luther King Jr. Day to protest tax reform and promote action for illegal immigrants covered by the DACA program. Here is an edited transcript of the video.
Wood: Horace, Martin Luther King Day is coming up next week, and there has been a lot of interesting news, especially for the black community on the economic front, in this past week or so. What do you make of the numbers coming out?
Cooper: The news for black America is amazing. It's phenomenal. We have had three separate records accomplished: In June of 2017, in September of 2017, and in January of 2018, we have set record low unemployment for black Americans. And what's really exciting, relative to the rest of the country, is black Americans are making much more progress … and that's, like, really big gains.
Wood: You probably just heard that overflight. We're very close to the Pentagon right now and Reagan Airport, so you're going to hear a lot of airplanes. Horace, we talk about historic numbers. This is the lowest black unemployment has been in over 45 years. Why all of a sudden? Is it President Obama's economy, which is kind of what he claimed in the last few weeks?
Cooper: It was surprising to me to hear the president make these claims.
Wood: The former president.
Cooper: The former [president], Obama, make these claims. It was very surprising because from 2009 to 2015, black America's unemployment rate turned to the worst numbers that we have seen as a community. It was the very policies that he pushed that caused this disparity.
Here's the thing: Black American unemployment typically is somewhere between 40 percent and even 100 percent higher than white America's unemployment. When this [black unemployment rate] number in 2018 reached 6.8 percent, that was the narrowest gap we've ever seen. We saw nothing like that during the Obama administration.
And it didn't surprise me, because the policies of President Obama were more focused on handing out food stamps, and assistance, and government handouts, rather than seeing to it that the most important civil rights of all, your right to be independent, your right to be self-sufficient, [were] being honored with policies of limited government. That's not Obama's plan.
Wood: Now, President Trump has been in office only one year. What do you think explains the nosedive in unemployment across the board, but particularly with minority Americans?
Cooper: Any investor, any businessman, any company understands now that America is open for business and if you'd like to do business in the United States, we're going to say, 'That's great.' Remember what the last president said? 'You didn't build that.' The last president said people that did things, that built things that were consequential, they were the people that we have to go after, to [put in a] stranglehold, a litany of regulations. And by the way, The Heritage Foundation did seminal studies every year, talking about how the last president set records for how many regulatory strangleholds he put on the United States.
This president, President Trump, is doing just the opposite. Two things: One is, he is not bringing new regulations into place, but [two,] he is actually rolling back the bad regulations that we saw before. So businesses are opening up and it turns out the pool of people that are most available right now, because of multiple years of bad regulatory and economic growth, are black Americans. And those people therefore are rushing into the marketplace. This is great news.
Wood: It's great news. But as you well know, Horace, as we come up to MLK Day you are going to have a lot of folks out there talking about how the Trump administration, the tax reform package that was passed just before Christmas, is bad particularly for black Americans. We know this because they have already said they were going to do it.
[House Minority Leader] Nancy Pelosi and a lot of others are going to be holding events over the weekend in "honor" of Martin Luther King Jr., kind of hijacking the holiday, I would argue. To go tell black Americans why this is actually a bad economy for them, the complete opposite of all the numbers and evidence.
Cooper: Here's the irony, what the left wants to tell black America is, 'Who are you going to believe, them or your lying eyes?' If you want to look at your bank account, if you want to look at the value of your home, if you want to make that the test, then you'll look and you'll say, 'Wow, the news is amazing. My uncle, my cousin, even my next-door neighbor, they're getting jobs that they didn't have.'
A record 2 million fewer people are receiving food assistance under the Trump administration than before. But it is also not a surprise to me. Here's the thing: When you look at Martin Luther King, most people remember the 'I Have a Dream' speech. What they don't recall is that the main reason for the big rally at the Lincoln Memorial [in August 1963] was a jobs program.
Black Americans were worried and concerned that there weren't a lot of great economic opportunities. And that's how this [March on Washington in 1963] got organized. The essence of what black America and the civil rights effort was about was letting people be able to get the kinds of things that control their own lives.
Wood: The right to a quality education, the right to good jobs.
Cooper: Absolutely. Right. A great house.
Wood: Not the right to handouts, wanting handouts.
Cooper: Absolutely. But the left, with these teach-ins as you mentioned, it's cynical what they are doing. They don't have a program for black America. Black America rejected—people don't realize this—black America rejected Barack Obama's program. How do I know this? [In 2008], the highest percentage of black Americans in history voted for the Democrat [Obama].
In 2012, we saw something happen that we have never seen before. Fewer black people voted for the re-election of a president. We haven't seen that in 120 years. Not with Clinton, not with Nixon, not with Reagan. Every other re-elected president got more black votes than they did the first time around.
Wood: And why do you think that is? Do you think people really made the calculation within the black community, he hasn't done what he said he was going to do?
Cooper: They absolutely could see that. You can't show up the day before Election Day and have to wait for a handout, and then on the day after go and say I'm going to vote for this guy because he is making me great. But the Democrats and the left have been very good, and that's what this teach-in is about.
Wood: Well, you make a point. And I want to talk more about Project 21 because I'm sure a lot of folks watching are going to say, 'Wow, the news media doesn't usually go out and find people like Horace Cooper to talk about Martin Luther King Day.'
They want to know where there are more Horace Coopers. And Project 21 is one of those organizations. The release that you all put out talked about, in addition to the teach-in, that while all of that is going on, the liberals are also pushing the DREAM Act and trying to legalize a lot of illegal immigrants.
Cooper: Oh, it's a classic bait and switch, a beautiful bait and switch. When you don't have a good program for people—by program, I mean a policy initiative that would be good for them—what you do is you find something to distract them.
What's ironic is they're not going to succeed in telling people, in this teach-in that they announced, that 'You shouldn't want the tax cuts you are about to get, you shouldn't want more money in your bank account, you shouldn't want more flexibility in the kinds of jobs. And that's what's coming your way. You don't want that, that's bad, we want to make you understand that the Trump regulatory tax policies are bad for you.'
Meanwhile, what they don't say is 'By the way, we do have a program, not for you, [but] we have a program. It is primarily focused on illegal immigrants. And in fact, even as late as today, the talk is we'll shut the government down if we don't get the ability to get the illegal immigration support policy changes that we want. Hey, black America, look at the teach-ins, that's what we've got for you; but for our new favored class, we've got real policy changes that are designed to improve and make their livelihoods better.'
Wood: And in many cases, though, trying to get [illegal immigrants] into the same government programs that got [black Americans] trapped into big government.
Cooper: Well, of course, that's the ultimate goal.
Wood: Because those folks will often times also turn into voters once they get locked into government. And they become the party of big government.
Cooper: It's a vicious cycle.
Wood: You're right, it's a bait and switch. Let's talk about Project 21. Tell everybody what Project 21 is, how they can get involved, and how they can learn more about it.
Cooper: Project 21 is an organization made up of black Americans who have rejected the idea that the only way for black Americans to succeed is if the government specifically engages in a series of handouts or preferential treatment. We are people, moderate and conservative, who say that the best way for black Americans to succeed is the same way it is for [all] Americans to succeed: Strong families, hard work. Get a good education, engage in the kind of policies where you personally save your money, you're not extravagant. Where you make the sacrifice and you hand your children.
We believe in limited government, we believe in family values. We believe the church and the synagoge are the primary place where good values get inculcated. Our organization welcomes any American that believes in those kinds of things and wants to make sure that those are the values that we put forward. That got America started, that got America to succeed, that's the future for America.
Wood: And that's a lot of things that Martin Luther King Jr. absolutely stood for.
Cooper: Absolutely.
Wood: Horace, thank you. I've known this guy for over 20 years, he is rock-solid. It's great being on with you. Thanks for coming on and being out here and talking with us.
Cooper: Thanks for having me on The Signal.
Wood: And thank you everybody. Check out Project 21. And thank you for watching us right here on The Daily Signal's Facebook Live.
A Note for our Readers:
Trust in the mainstream media is at a historic low—and rightfully so given the behavior of many journalists in Washington, D.C.
Ever since Donald Trump was elected president, it is painfully clear that the mainstream media covers liberals glowingly and conservatives critically.
Now journalists spread false, negative rumors about President Trump before any evidence is even produced.
Americans need an alternative to the mainstream media. That's why The Daily Signal exists.
The Daily Signal's mission is to give Americans the real, unvarnished truth about what is happening in Washington and what must be done to save our country.
Our dedicated team of more than 100 journalists and policy experts rely on the financial support of patriots like you.
Your donation helps us fight for access to our nation's leaders and report the facts.
You deserve the truth about what's going on in Washington.

Yayıncı American Psychological Association APA ( 01 / 2007 ) ISBN 9781591477433 | İngilizce | 168 Sayfa | Türler Eğitim (Genel)
All students and professors need to write, and many struggle to finish their stalled dissertations, journal articles, book chapters, or grant proposals. Writing is hard work and can be difficult to wedge into a frenetic academic schedule. In this practical, light-hearted, and encouraging book, Paul Silvia explains that writing productively does not require innate skills or special traits but specific tactics and actions. Drawing examples from his own field of psychology, he shows readers how to overcome motivational roadblocks and become prolific without sacrificing evenings, weekends, and vacations. After describing strategies for writing productively, the author gives detailed advice from the trenches on how to write, submit, revise, and resubmit articles, how to improve writing quality, and how to write and publish academic work.

New Pay Scales
disgruntled replied to Yella's topic in General Police DiscussionHi, spoke to out local federation today about new pay scale/increment freeze and they have stated that anyone on the increments and above point 7 will go to top rate P.C on 1st April 2013. Now I know that's wrong but they were adamant to the point that they stated people will be getting back pay as payroll will be a few months behind with updating everyone's wages. Do the fed not talk to each other as this cant be true.
PCSO may be given powers of arrest
disgruntled replied to disgruntled's topic in UK Police/Crime NewsI would not stand there and let anyone get hurt, but by the same token I am not going to help people do my job on the cheap and putting my career at risk. If they want PCSO's to do my job then they can spend the money and train them to a suitable standard.

PCSO may be given powers of arrest
disgruntled posted a topic in UK Police/Crime NewsThe chief constable of Avon and Somerset is thinking about giving Police Community SUPPORT Officers the power of arrest after the PCC has asked him to consider the move. If they do get the power I hope the constables in that part of the world do not lift a finger to help them deal with all the grief that comes with arresting a person, case files, CPS etc. IF they do help then they are only helping the Goverment erode the Office of constable

Morning all, well here we are again.....it's Friday !! Hope you've had a good week so far.
I went to Excel London yesterday for the hobbycrafts/stitching/crafts show. Had a really good time, as I wasn't going for anything in particular, just to have a look around. Came back with some bargains......woman's weekly had a couple of stands, the first stand were doing goody bags for a £5.00, which contained embroidery threads, wool, craft book, cross stitch kit, tapestry kit, crochet beanie hat kit, plus free samples of toothpaste, eye wash and shampoo (bit random) worth considerably more than £5.00. The second stall were selling magazines and books for £1.00 each. I bought 3 books:- crochet granny squares, Christmas jumpers & felt safari animals. I also bought a large reindeer crochet kit for £13.00. Had a lovely time.
Onto today's blog. My friend Jenny has just become a granny for the first time, a little boy, so here is the card that I did for her. I've used winnie the pooh background paper, then using the tonic bear die, I've cut out in blue (for the outline) yellow to fill, and then red to create winnie the pooh's top. I also knitted a blue dummy, which I've attached to the card, but can be put on a cot or pram as a mobile.
Doing a craft fair on Sunday this week, so fingers crossed that I'll be as successful as last weekend.
Have a good weekend. x

Oh Jan, this is gorgeous. Sounds like a fab day out too, xxxReplyDelete
What a lovely card Jan and the dummy is so unusual. Sounds like you had a good day out yesterday makes it all worthwhile. Hope your fayre goes well on Sunday. I'm doing one tomorrow and hope it will be better than last year when the weather was appalling and I made £5.80 for being there 6 hours. I don't want a repeat of that! Best wishes Jackie xReplyDelete
Hi Jan,ReplyDelete

Subtitle: Family Recipes from the Kitchen of Simple Bites
Published: 2015
Genre: cookbook
Length: 308 pages
Interest: I saw it recommended on one of the websites I read as a great cookbook to read and not just for the recipes. My local library had it so I thought it would be worth checking out to see if it was worth buying.
Summary: There is a wide variety of recipes that emphasize using fruits and vegetables in season and cooking with whole foods. Each recipe has a paragraph of commentary about the recipe or a story behind its creation or use. The recipes are interspersed with homesteading tidbits and essays on how to involve kids in making food.
Final thoughts: This cookbook is definitely worth looking over. It's got gorgeous photos on every other page and I found the bits on eating real food and getting kids involved and the seasonality of her recipes quite interesting. That being said, most of the recipes are not something my picky eater would eat. They looked very yummy, but too much mixing of ingredients for his liking.
Title comes from: It evokes the down home, simple life the author leads and espouses in the cookbook
Reading challenges fulfilled: none since I just skimmed this book

So after finally deciding that the Foxley 27 from Eden Brae was going to be our new house design it is time to get the tender process moving and lock in the current pricing and promotions going at the moment. $750 deposit has been paid and its now time to sit back and wait the 3-4 weeks (especially through Christmas) for the final tender.
At the moment we are looking at the essentials package from Eden Brae which includes site costs, basix, driveways, security alarm, garage door motors, carpet, tiling etc etc (not counting anything that will be upgraded later obviously). The display home options chosen include higher ceilings, changes to shower screens, wider front entry door as well.
Also at Fern Bay bushfire requirements are also a must as well as being part of the new Telstra fibre optics network for internet and tv etc so some extra special cabling also.
Look forward to seeing a full tender once that have gone out and done their tests etc and hopefully all going well move forward with the drawings and start getting the process moving.

We have waited, and at last winter has arrived. The last two days have seen frosts, frozen puddles, bits of sleet and a few avian arrivals. This morning there were six Shelducks in the area, a very shy Little Grebe, a Kingfisher, 10 Redshanks and a female Pintail on Bow Creek. Which puts us about where we should be at this time of year. The weather has not been severe enough to induce any major bird movements and there wasn't anything unusual in the area. Teal numbers were down, but that maybe down to the state of tide, as the birds were spread out all over the place. A high tide brings them together, and makes them easier to count.
Passerines were represented by a few Finches, mainly Chaffinch and three Reed Buntings feeding on Phragmites seed heads in the Dock. The Thames was quiet with just a few Gulls present though wader numbers are building up further downstream. If this weather continues then I do expect to be reporting some good sightings from the this area.

2017 URAL Adventure Ride
Just got back from an amazing three-day ride on my URAL CT sidecar. What an amazing machine it is, every time I get on it, it just gets better. The ride was organized by Ural Australia and included a bit of on-road and a bit of off-road designed to test our machines.
Starting in Glen Innes on Friday with a welcome lunch and a very interesting address at the sight of the Standing Stones by a bloke wearing a dress. He claimed it was the national dress of Scotland…right!!!! This was followed up by a fun ride out to the wind farm development in Glen Innes.
Saturday saw us heading for Grafton via the old Grafton Glen Innes road. A fantastic stretch of dirt road meandering through beautiful country along side the Mann and Boyd rivers. Had a bit of a chuckle along the way. I had been told since first talking about buying a URAL, that they are unreliable. I was now on a ride with 25 URALS what could possibly go wrong!! Well the trailer being towed by the support vehicle "did" a wheel bearing and had to be taken back to base!! As for the 25 "unreliable" URAL outfits…not one problem not even a puncture. To date I have not had a problem with my URAL, in fact the only problem I've had with it is, I can't stop riding the damn thing!!
Sunday saw us riding to Dorrigo and on to new URAL HQ in Uralla. If you haven't been along the Waterfall Way to Dorrigo…GO! It reminds me of the southern highlands, beautiful rolling hills and a curvy, flowing road that's fun to ride.
What a wonderful weekend way, great bunch of people, great roads and beautiful countryside. One of the many pleasures of URAL ownership is you don't/can't speed, so you get to see a lot more and arrive relaxed. Another very pleasing fact was in our group of 25 outfits, 4 where piloted by girls. Nice to see the girls getting involved, a really nice change from the usual bunch of ugly old blokes!!!!
CHECKOUT ALL THE PICS BY CLICKING HERE and whilst your at it have a look at URAL Australia's website, I'll definitely be back next year.
Nice "Old Skool" lights.
There were some excellent stickers, this one probably said it all.
Love the plunger shocks and upswept pipes. Bike is a Retro/M70.
Tourist model, clearly belongs to a Touareg called "Bruce".
Man in a skirt...don't tell him I said that!
Departng Glen Innes in convoy, about to create a 5km bank up.
A herd of Harleys, a group of Hondas, a whimper of Indians (yes Jon) and a Murder of URALS.
A very early VIN Ural now slightly modified by it's owner.
Off road on the Old Grafton Glen Innes road.
Again on the Old Grafton Glen Innes Road.
Lunch break.
The gang.
Last one...guess where?
Departing Grafton. Please note, lead rider has attempted to run down the photographer...and is still laughing!!
Departing Nymboida.
Biker chicks. Congratulations girls, really nice to see you out there. Lets hope there'll be more of you in 2018!
Biker chicks with fan club.
Great phots and review. I hope to make it there myself next year. Cheers - Mark - 2017 Ural Sahara

Real Wedding: Lauren and Jack
A Canberra hospitality romance blossomed 10 years ago when Lauren, then chef at The Boat House, met Jack, who was close with the owner's family.
After a coastal proposal in Guerilla Bay, Lauren and Jack decided to tie the knot in an elegant, laid back and fun fashion, surrounded by heritage buildings.
Jack got ready at our apartment and I got ready at his parent's house.
Our wedding was on 18 November 2016. We had hoped to book it for the 11th (our anniversary) but there was an art exhibition on that week. Our one year wedding anniversary will (almost) be our 10 year together anniversary.
I chose my wedding dress because it was simple, elegant and timeless. I'm only little and didn't want to be lost in a mass of tulle and lace.
We wanted a venue that was true to who we are as individuals and a couple. We love Canberra and the beautiful heritage buildings, we wanted our wedding to be elegant, laid back, fun and close to home.
The day was perfect. We were so lucky with the weather! It rained the whole week leading up to the day before and then it was pure warmth and sunshine.
Our whole wedding was based on the premise that we didn't want to lose sight of the things that actually mattered to us. Therefore our attention was targeted towards our vows to one another, the food, the alcohol, the music and just generally ensuring that everyone had a good time. I had so many fantastic creative genius contacts from my time in hospitality help us out so I left a lot of suggestions in their highly capable hands.
There was no designated seating. I put together an antipasto grazing table and prawn and oyster bar to start and made some salads to go with woodfired pizzas for mains. Because the wedding was on a Friday night Brodburger was packed and the OBDM night markets were on so the whole area was just buzzing with activity. It was like a festival.
Everyone loved it. A lot of people have said that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. It was relaxed, fun and delicious. You could tell that everyone was there to have a good time and lots of people left the night with new friends.
Favorite part of the day
Walking down the aisle. It was the one thing I was dreading and I was completely wrong.
We had our photos taken before the ceremony and that was a really good idea. It helped to calm my nerves seeing Jack before walking down the aisle and it meant that (after a few quick family shots) we could get straight into the party.

Even though it's been more than a year since her boyfriend, Reid, died, Kira Sloan can't seem to move on with her life. So when she's approached with an unusual offer that promises to reunite her with Reid, she can't help but be intrigued . . . even when she finds out what she'll have to do: She'll have to die.
As part of an experimental new treatment, Kira flatlines and wakes up on the other side. For a few blissful moments, she's with Reid again—but it's not long before she's ripped out of his arms and brought back to life. As soon as she's revived, Kira insists on going back. But what Kira doesn't realize is that there are consequences to repeating the procedure. The more Kira crosses over, the more dangerous it becomes for her and Reid to be together. Now, Kira is risking more than just her life. . . .

Follow Me, Boys! (1966)
Rating: 4 3/4 star
Synopsis: Lemuel Siddons is part of a traveling band, although he's always dreamed of being a lawyer. But he's thinking he's done with traveling when the band's bus stops at the small town of Hickory. He wants to "put down roots", he says. He finds a job as a clerk at the general store in town. Trying to fit in - and impress a certain Miss Vida Downey - he volunteers to start up a Boy Scouts troop and be the troop leader. Not only that but it also keeps the town's boys busy. As the years progress with Lem getting married to Vida, being a scoutmaster, helping a troubled boy, and the dream of becoming a lawyer gets postponed, Lem realizes - his life has been fulfilled by giving his time and effort to his friends in Hickory.
Starring: Fred MacMurray, Kurt Russell, Vera Miles
This story is jam packed with good rich values. Not to mention the character driven plot. It is a glimpse of the good ol' days when values were upheld and instilled in the children. I just love this movie. Yes, the theme song gets stuck in your head, but oh well. You just have to watch it to know what I mean.
I must say though, that besides Lem Siddons, the next most driving character in the story would have to be Whitey. Kurt Russell does an outstanding job playing Whitey. He is a sympathetic character, in my eyes. He acts tough but he really is sweet. He's also very loyal once you get him on your side. Once again - watch the movie then you'll understand.
Lem Siddons is played by Fred MacMurray. His character is complex and simple at the same time. He's a man you could look up to. His childhood background is what makes him be able to relate to Whitey so well. Him and Whitey are both proof that a kid with a rough life can turn out to be one of the most trustworthy, devoted, hardworking, honorable person you'd ever meet.
And yes, even though this movie has a serious point to it, it also has good clean humor. Like when some soldiers are getting trained nearby and playing in the war games - with hilarious results when Lem and his troop get tangled in the midst of these "games".
The above picture was the only one I could find from the movie that has Vida in it.
The movie uses 2 hours to go from 1930 to the 1950's and shows Lem getting a new troop every so often as the boys grow up.
And surprise, surprise... Duane Chase (aka Kurt von Trapp) from Sound of Music is in this film as one of the original Boy Scout troop. Apparently Duane played in only three films - "Sound of Music", "Follow Me, Boys!", and a tv series called "The Big Valley" (which I've never heard of or seen).
Well, I hope you enjoyed this review! :) Oh, and have any of you seen this?

Gasket or seal help
Hey Guys,
For a while I was using the plastic dip to help me seal & also not harm the pubic region using the tube from the pet store. The problem is that the plastic dip thingy ripped off & the tube is back to its original. Now when I pump it hurts really bad. I keep hearing about gasket…. I'm still a poor grad student who cannot afford the ones from pumptoys. Is there anyother place I can buy the same kind or similar ones that are cheaper…. Also are there any tubes that are more than 2" in width??? Please help & thanks in advance.

It's definitely not peanuts – with a total expenditure of $9.49 million for the current fiscal year, Dining Services is a massive, yet delicate, operation. To address escalating food and fuel costs, the College has been monitoring its purchases and waste factors to balance both budgets and diets.
"There's been substantial increase in the cost of food, especially dairy products," said Bob Volpi, director of Dining Services. "But we knew well in advance that there was going to be an increase and made a commitment to remaining hormone-free and local."
While prioritizing local vendors over competitive purchasing, Dining Services has found ways to cut costs. For example, while the College continues to obtain fresh dairy products from a local supplier, it now purchases trade name goods such as Stonyfield Yogurt and Cabot Cheese through open bidding, rather than paying a premium at the dairy.
Each week, Volpi and his staff scrutinize items that chalk up more than 5 percent price increments, and compare them to the most recent United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) data, to ensure competitive rates. "We'll let our vendor know that we're looking at it and are aware of market-driven issues," Volpi said, noting that markets for cheese, produce and flour have been especially volatile.
However, the College has yet to resort to changing its food offerings – unlike institutions like Harvard University, where menu substitutions sparked student outcry in opinions columns and on listservers. "We haven't changed our menus," Volpi said, apart from discontinuing statler chicken, a "very high end" cut and the presentation of chicken breast "found in very fine hotels," in College dining halls.
Prices at Snack Bar may change when menus are set for the coming academic year. "We might see definitely a 4 or 5 percent increase in price, because of things like rising food costs and salaries increasing," Volpi said.
Other cost-saving measures include an upcoming collection drive to recover serviceware that students have taken over the year. According to Volpi, roughly $6000 of serviceware, including buzzers, has been removed from Paresky.
Such approaches are crucial to meet the budget. "We're not managing in terms of profit or loss – we're managing towards the expenditures we're given per year," Volpi said.
Next year's projected expenditure is $9.76 million, up 2.8 percent from this year in tandem with the USDA's forecasted 3.0 to 4.0 percent increase in food prices.
Changes across the board
Peer institutions echo such concerns about negotiating set budgets, community values and rising costs. "Local, sustainable, fresh, high quality – many of our ideals may need to be tweaked to the point where reality meets budget," said Matthew Biette, director of Dining Services at Middlebury College. "We have a limited amount of money to spend. Period."
To keep expenditures within this amount, Middlebury has trimmed certain offerings: replacing white meat with chicken thighs in recipes such as masala and stir fry, as well as discontinuing juice at dinner, except for local cider in season.
The impact of these changes has been minor. "For the most part, we have been able to cover many of the increases by the decrease in wasted foods due to our eliminating the use of trays this year," Biette said, a move which the College also completed last month in Driscoll Dining Hall.
Like Williams, Middlebury anticipates revising prices at its retail operations. "This area is the easiest to handle due to the direct pricing as a reflection of cost," Biette said.
At Dartmouth College, prices for meat entrees, such as salmon, change day-to-day if market prices fluctuate dramatically. As with the College and Middlebury, however, all other prices are only raised once a year, according to Beth DiFrancesco, purchasing manager for Dartmouth's Dining Services.
DiFrancesco says that rising food prices have yet to impact Dartmouth significantly. "We're really just watching our costs and invoices and that's all you can do," she said. "We're keeping watch on our portion sizes, but haven't changed the quality or variety of menu offerings."
Some of the inflation has been buffered by advance purchases. "We bought a term's worth of frying oil before the big price increase," DiFrancesco said.
While Dining Services at Dartmouth also watches USDA projections and their own vendors' predictions, DiFrancesco said, "Last year's price increases were far greater than anyone anticipated, presumably because of the worldwide food shortage."
The shortage has also affected Columbia University. "Rising prices have forced us to look at our menus and modify our offerings where possible and where we feel they will have the smallest impact on our students," said Joseph Heavey, executive director of dining services, citing the substitution of tilapia for shrimp on a seafood dish as a typical "non-necessity" expense reduction.
Measuring satisfaction
"Our philosophy is to be the best in the country, and we can say that we are the best by looking at our student satisfaction results," Volpi said, referring to the comprehensive survey of Dining Services posed to 40 percent of the student body annually. "If the best students in the country say we are the best, then we are."
Developed by Ching Ho '03, the review applies a five-point satisfaction scale across numerous attributes at each dining hall, running the gamut from freshness to refilling of beverage machines. Anything that receives a rating below 3.5 is earmarked for improvement. Dining Services introduced a hot sandwich bar at Mission Park Dining Hall this year in an effort to pull its lunch ratings up to the 4.0 lunch average.
According to Volpi, the breadth and detail of both this survey and the market basket analysis are unique to the College. "This is a Williams thing, not something you'd see at Amherst or Middlebury. Williams utilizes the talents of students from all over the world," he said, adding that Center for Developmental Economics student Orzimurad Gaybullaev of Uzbekistan was instrumental in creating the electronic inventory management system.
The College performs less favorably in mainstream measures of dining quality: it does not make the top 20 on the Princeton Review's Best Campus Food list, which consistently awards first and second place to the highly publicized dining programs at Virginia Tech and Bowdoin College. "There's something about the Princeton Review that I've never quite figured out," Volpi said. "I really think that our program is different because Bowdoin only has two dining halls. I'd say we're definitely at the top."
Middlebury has implemented a feedback system allowing students to rate individual menu items on its Dining Services' Web site. The day's tallies are posted on a blog called Middelicious.
At Columbia, slightly over half of its undergraduate residents are on dining plans, amidst an "overwhelming variety of stores and restaurants right in the neighborhood." As such, Dining Services emphasizes take-out options. "Dining in general is trending towards more customized and individual service," Heavey said.
