The loss of neonicotinoids means the 2014-2015 oilseed rape crop is up against it from the off. But there are ways in which growers can – at least partly – compensate for reduced crop protection options.
That was the conclusion of a round-table discussion organised by Bayer CropScience and hosted by farm manager Russell McKenzie, who grows 230 hectares (568 acres) of oilseed rape as part of the 750ha (1,853 acres) of cropping he oversees across Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire for D.J. Tebbit and John Sheard Farms. He is also one of Bayer CropScience's small group of InVigour Developers, farmers hosting 'real world' oilseed rape trials for the firm looking at the effect of different input variables.
Russ McKenzie: Getting OSR in and away promptly is going to be our main focus. In the worst scenario, we could be spraying every seven days for three weeks for flea beetle, and we are not in a particularly bad area. So we need varieties such as Harper and DK Extrovert, which have that rapid establishment characteristic.
Jim Carswell: As well as drilling date and seed dressing selection, fast autumn development from cotyledon to first leaf, when the crop is at most risk, will be a critical variety trait. The danger lies in not monitoring this period closely enough should stop-start combining lead to stop-start OSR drilling and staggered establishment.
Hybrids' rapid establishment benefits are well-proven, but influences such as farm flea beetle history and soil types – lighter land can be at greater risk – must also be factored in.
Adrian Cottey: There is a key difference between autumn vigour, which aids against adult flea beetle attack, and spring vigour, which helps the crop resist damage from their larval offspring.
Autumn and spring vigour are not always found in the same varieties. Spring vigour – the 'recovery' phase from winter – will be even more important now as we are likely to see more thin, autumn-stressed crops which need to get going in spring. This could be the killer for some slow spring developers. Hybrids can cope better with difficult conditions – even flea beetle larvae attack.
But fast developers such as Harper must not be sown before mid-August, as excessive early growth is undesirable. On the other hand, where drilling is delayed, varieties such as Harper and Fencer cope well right through to mid-September and still get away quickly.
Jim Carswell: Phosphite dressings such as Take-Off act as a stimulant, working on the growth point and the root system, so when the root emerges, it picks up that phosphite, helping plants produce more extensive root systems and growth. I would strongly recommend OSR growers specify such a dressing. Combined with the use of a starter fertiliser, it is well-proven to give OSR a head start. Soil analyses, alongside pH and organic matter assessments, will also help identify areas where corrections could bring benefits. It is pH in particular which is key to crop accessibility to phosphorus.
To get the crop quickly through those early stages, a small dose of perhaps 0.35 litres/ha of phosphite such as Nutri-Phite PGA at cotyledon stage, followed by, say, 0.5-0.75 litres/ha at 4-6 leaves depending on crop condition. It is something we are trialling this year.
Russ McKenzie: I have definitely seen the benefit of phosphite dressing and prefer to have it where possible. On heavier ground here, we are potentially at slightly less risk of flea beetle, and on balance, although I would want both phosphite and insecticide dressings, if it has to be a choice, the phosphite would be preferential to encourage early vigour as we will still have to spray even with a seed dressing.
Jim Carswell: Something with a high phoma rating, for example, will mean flea beetle protection can be prioritised over early disease control. In this way the decisions partly make themselves.
In terms of insecticides, some imported seed may be dressed with Mesurol (methiocarb), the standard OSR dressing in France for many years. As its application here is not allowed, we do not promote it here, but provided there is approval for a seed treatment in the country in which it has been treated, then export of seed treated as such is legal, and we do want to provide people with as much information as possible about what to expect from its use.
Although approval for methiocarb use has now been revoked here, seed treated this way in another country – it is still approved for use in France and Croatia – is perfectly legal to use. But it provides perhaps half the protection against cabbage stem flea beetle that Chinook did, and it is not systemic, so its protection only lasts up to leaf two at the latest. After that a foliar spray follow-up will be necessary where flea beetle is a threat. The other possibility, meanwhile, may be some seed coming in with tefluthrin.
Going without any form of treatment – a fungicide treatment is still strongly recommended – may be an option if you are in an area known to not have a significant flea beetle problem, but it will be essential to closely monitor risk using water traps, for example.
Peter Stacey: Seed-borne diseases may not be as important in oilseed rape as in cereals, but they can affect germination, so protection will help get crops away quickly and developing root bulk. If seed comes ready-treated with a fungicide, that's likely to be thiram, which will give some control of soil and seed-borne damping-off type diseases such as rhizoctonia and alternaria.
If seed is UK-treated, there is the option of Hy-Pro Duet (thiram + prochloraz), which provides better control of autumn phoma, both seed-borne and early air-borne, which are quite yield-debilitating. That gives greater protection and more autumn fungicide flexibility.
Unfortunately, a decision between fungicidal and insecticidal protection may be required, as in the French approval system Mesurol-treated seed cannot also have a fungicide applied.
Prioritising is a matter of whether you are in an area prone to flea beetle. If so, it is a straight choice for an insecticide; if not then seed dressings should give sufficient protection. And for varieties with high disease ratings, such as Harper's 9 for phoma, fungicidal seed treatment is slightly less important.
Jim Carswell: To get the crop out the ground quicker, early drilling, when soils are warmer, is important. That broadly means mid-August onwards. If you do not have the man and machine power to drill while wheat is still being cut, consider using a contractor.
Thick crops are undesirable, so if early-drilled crops get too big too quickly, use metconazole to regulate them so canopies do not get too big during autumn – 6-8 leaf rosette-like plants going into winter should be the aim.
In 2007, HGCA reported peak flea beetle activity had occurred around the third week of September in 2005 and 2006, so you do not want a crop at cotyledon stage at this timing. Work backwards, factoring in emergence time of roughly a fortnight, depending on conditions and geography. Crops should be at the 6-8 leaf stage and rosette-like going into winter.
It has been suggested later sowings of faster-developing varieties can reduce flea beetle damage risk, but bearing in mind those September HGCA peak beetle figures, I'm not sure. Getting ahead of flea beetle by drilling earlier with starter fertiliser and phosphite seed dressing will be a better strategy than trying to beat it by going later.
Russ McKenzie: We have cut seed rates gradually, but have not gone silly. With hybrids that has meant a 30-35 plants/sq.m target.
Sowing more than this can be costly and does not generally help produce optimal yields. I put a lot of emphasis on good soil temperatures, something which can be lost with delays in drilling – a 3degC drop from 12degC to 9degC in summer 2012 really made a difference. I am hoping the warm July will help to maintain good soil temperatures. We use subsoiler-seeding where some soils would benefit from restructuring, with the remainder of our oilseed rape established using either Claydon or Horsch drills. But we are looking at ways to improve the optimal seed placement with the subsoiler technique for this season with a lower disturbance leg.
The speed at which we can put the crop in is going to be key. Ideally I would like to do it all between August 12-20. Traditionally we would work to a mid-August start date and end-of-the-month finish.
Adrian Cottey: It is not just about the calendar, though. Adaptations may have to be made according to conditions. Planting OSR into bone-dry soil just because it is mid-August would be unwise. A small delay may improve soil moisture conditions, and this is where vigorous hybrids come into their own.
Jim Carswell: Applying nitrogen and especially phosphate with the seed at establishment will undoubtedly help get the crop away quickly. Last year in particular, when conditions were dry, was a great indicator of what was possible with seedbed N and P. In treated/untreated strip-tilled trials into stubble, within 14 days plants sown with fertiliser were away, with bigger, more expansive root systems and plants. A number of trials suggest this can ultimately lead directly to yield benefits, but many farmers prefer to focus first on getting the crop away, and deal with yield responses separately.
If you are in an NVZ, then you are restricted to 30kg/ha N, but modern drill technology means placement accuracy is very good.
Phosphate has a big influence on getting the plant out of the ground, but it will not move to the roots – the roots have to move to the phosphate, so if you can put some down at drilling, the roots will pick this up and this will drive the plant on. There are numerous methods of placing both solid and liquid fertiliser, but precision of placement is key. Much depends on the farm's drill or seeding arrangement, but more drill makers are looking again at combine.
Russ McKenzie: We have been placing fertiliser for a couple of years, and refining our establishment systems to get it exactly where required. Traditionally we used apply 166kg/ha DAP to meet the crop's early N and P requirements, keeping us within the NVZ limits, but when we moved to put a higher concentration in the row, we switched to liquid. That works well, but can be a pain when it blows all over the machine. I was sceptical about microgranules, but we tried placing them when we established one particular field, and noticed that where we had run out on half a tramline, the difference was evident early on and the treated crop flowered three to four days earlier. It is not always noticeable in the top growth, but its value is evident in root growth, which is the aim at that stage.

Jan Schuette has been named the dean of the AFI Conservatory. He comes from the German Film & Television Academy in Berlin, a production-based conservatory where he has served as director since 2010. He will begin at AFI in the fall.
In a statement, American Film Institute president-CEO Bob Gazzale said that the organization had conducted a worldwide search to find "an academic leader who has also made movies – who has lived it." He added that these assets are important because AFI is unique in promising MFA candidates that they will make at least four films in two years.
Schuette served tenures at Harvard and Dartmouth College, in addition to teachings at Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg, where he established the master class program Atelier Ludwigsburg Paris.
As a director and producer, his work spans three decades. Schuette's films have premiered in Cannes, Venice, Locarno, San Sebastian and Toronto, and have won numerous national and international awards. Schuette has served on festival juries, including the Cinéfondation Jury at the Cannes Film Festival and the International Drama Jury at the Sundance Film Festival. Schuette is a member of the Akademie der Künste Berlin Brandenburg and of the European Film Academy.
Schuette said, "To serve as the dean of the AFI Conservatory, one of the top film schools in the world, is a huge honor and an enormous challenge at the same time. I am delighted about the opportunity to continue my work on a new level and look forward to this next chapter of my life in film."

- TITLE: Day After Day
By Yvonne Blake
Ecclesiastes 9:10
"Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might"
Lord, I want to use my writing for you. Now that I'm retired, I should be able to find time to write. This blog is a little, but I doubt many read it. Lord, I want to reach others with my writing. Give me the words You want me to use.
Monday, May 24
Psalm 118: 24
"This is the day that the Lord hath made, we will rejoice and be glad in it."
Lord, I meant to write today, but the house was a mess after all the company this weekend. Thank you for sending the hummingbird to my kitchen window while I did dishes. I hung my laundry in the sunshine. Thank you for sweet smelling sheets. Little Christopher wore me out while Amy was at the dentist appointment. We picked some fuzzy dandelion heads and watched the seeds drift away on the breeze. They reminded me of wasted words and minutes. They are gone—never to be retrieved again. Help me, Lord, to spend the time with my grandchildren wisely.
Tuesday, May 25
Philippians 4:19
"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."
Lord, thank you for today. Although nothing scheduled, the day seemed to fly by. I planned to work on my novel today, but I had to pick out a pattern to knit a sweater for my niece. My writing magazine came in the mail, and I spent an hour reading it. I took a meal over to Sally and saw her baby girl. Lord, please help her husband to find a job soon. Rick invited his brother and his wife over for a cookout. They brought some fresh crabs that need to be cooked and shelled. Thank you, Lord, for family.
Wednesday, May 26
Psalm 16:6
"The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage."
Lord, I didn't write anything but this blog today. I visited my parents today. That's more important, right? It's hard to see them getting older. We made rhubarb jam together and watched a bumblebee gathered nectar from the honeysuckle today. As it buzzed from blossom to blossom, I thought, "It doesn't worry about schedules or money or the future. It knows God will provide all its needs." Thank you for happy memories and these times together.
Thursday, May 27
Isaiah 26:3
"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."
Lord, I don't feel so good. My head hurts, and I'm all stuffed up. I must have caught something from little Christopher. I tried to write today, but the words weren't there—no devotionals, no poems, no scenes in my novel, no magazine articles—nothing! It rained today. My nose dripped right along with the clouds. A robin enjoyed a bath in the puddle. It splashed and flashed in the fresh water. Help me to also find refreshment in Your blessings.
Friday, May 28
Psalm 105:6
"Let everything that hath breath, praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord."
Lord, I don't think I've accomplished anything this week. Today, Kathy called. I couldn't say, "no." It's been months since we've gotten together. Besides, she usually needs someone to talk to when she asks me to take a walk. Lord, show her how to be a good wife and mother. I saw You today, Lord. The leaves fluttered in the breeze. They were clapping. They were praising You, Lord. Everything around me was singing and dancing and glowing with joy. It lifted my spirit. Peace filled my heart. I couldn't wait to get home to add my words of praise to You!
Saturday, May 29
Psalm 19:14
"Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, my Strength and my Redeemer."
Lord, I got a card from a friend today, thanking me for my blog. She said it helped her to look for Your blessings each day. Lord, I needed that. Thank you for encouragement. I still haven't finished my novel or sold an article, but You used my words anyway.
Oh why should I hurry,
Be anxious or worry?
He abides;
He provides
Day after day.
For blessings I'm grateful;
My Lord, He is faithful.
He abides;
He provides
Day after day.

There wasn't a whole lot the Kansas City Royals fans could do once Zack Greinke forced the Royals' hand and asked them to trade him. And it's really too bad as the Royals are beginning to get fun to watch with Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas now on the big club. The Future is happening now for the Royals and they just need some of their starting pitching prospects to materialize. But Greinke couldn't wait and whether you agree with his decision or not, it's a moot point. He's gone. And things are working out just the way Greinke wanted them with the Milwaukee Brewers taking over first place in the National League West, thanks in large part to Greinke's pitching.
Zack Greinke won a Cy Young Award. And then, by most accounts, he got bored and his boredom bore out in his performance last season when he was more Chris Young than Cy Young. That seems like an overly-simplistic view of his season last year. You could blame his season on shoddy defense as the Royals were dead last in the American League in defensive efficiency. But they were dead last and were worse in his Cy Young Award season. His velocity was down by a MPH according to Pitch/FX. That could explain some of the difference. But the fact that he was discontent and bored seems like a plausible explanation. Whatever it was, he didn't give the Royals much choice in the matter and they did the right thing in unloading him.
After an injury in Spring Training (apparently from a pick up basketball game), Greinke began the season on the disabled list. The Brewers--who traded away most of their farm system to get Greinke and Shaun Marcum--started slowly, and since they had gone all out to win this year while they still had Prince Fielder, things weren't looking very good when they began the season 13-19. But as Rob Neyer pointed out today over at SB Nation, the Brewers have won 25 of their last 34 games. What Neyer didn't mention was that it seems like no coincidence that the run began with Greinke's first win of the season.
Not surprisingly, Greinke started a bit slowly. After his first four starts, his ERA was a balloon-like 6.43. Starting with his fifth start, the first of four in a row where his pitch count has gone over a hundred, he is back in full swing. Each of his last four starts have been quality starts and he has struck out 32 batters in his last 27 innings pitched over those four games. He won all four of them. And his ERA has come down nearly two full runs since that fourth start.
Greinke's peripherals are fantastic. His strikeouts per nine for the season stands at 11.3. His walk rate is the lowest of his career at 1.3, giving him a K/BB ratio of 8.57. Only Jair Jurrjens has a lower walk per nine rate. His ERA may stand at 4.69, but his FIP is at 2.52 and his xFIP is 2.02.
Plus, he is getting a chance to hit and with his one homer, he has an 86 OPS+. Not bad for a pitcher. And so, Zack Greinke is getting everything he could have wanted when he wanted out of Kansas City. He's pitching great, he's getting a chance to hit. He's pitching for a team now in first place and he is back to being an elite pitcher in baseball.
Somehow it still leaves somewhat of a bad taste in the mouth. But that depends on whether you think he was right about wanting out of his former situation. The Royals stuck with him and helped him with his disorder. It's hard to imagine him becoming the kind of pitcher he's become without that organization helping him the way it did. And yet, he emotionally abandoned that organization. It doesn't sit well. But if you forget all that, he's an athlete and athletes want to compete at the top level and have a chance to win. Looked at from that angle, his actions are more understandable. But again, it's too bad because if his heart had stayed in Kansas City, he's be one more cog in what is becoming a more comely wheel. His absence has hurt the Royals more than it has helped the Brewers.
But again, all that is moot. The current dynamic is that he's pitching beautifully for a team that has the look and feel of a contender. He's playing in front of packed houses at home and he is a large reason for that team's success. His presence, along with Shaun Marcum, slots Yovani Gallardo and Chris Narveson in the rotation where they belong. The Brewers made the right call (other than having Betancourt included in the deal) and their strategy is certainly paying off. Much like they hoped, Greinke is starting to become one of the elite pitchers in the National League.

Paladino vs the Post
Conventional wisdom says that this Carl Paladino versus Fred Dicker of the New York Post episode probably won't go over very well for Paladino as he tries to become the next governor of New York.
Then again, this not your conventional election year. I'll be interested to see what the next round of polling data has on this race.
And this is somewhat interesting–this isn't the first time that Dicker and New York politicians nearly came to fisticuffs.
About that Democratic party majority
This piece in today's Journal runs along the same line as my previous post on how the Obama White House (plus its liberal enablers in the House and Senate) and its radical agenda are hurting Democrats on the campaign trail:
If Democrats running against the White House prevail, the result could have a profound impact on the party's ability to govern. More than 30 Democrats with proven records of independence are campaigning on this theme, and scores more have started trying to do so late in the game. Even if the party maintains control of the House, it almost certainly won't have a functioning liberal majority, Democratic aides and lawmakers say. Conservative Democrats would be emboldened to go their own way, especially if many colleagues who stuck with the president lose.
Rep. Bobby Bright, an Alabama Democrat who calls himself a "fiercely independent" conservative, said the Democratic leadership largely let conservative House Democrats vote according to the dictates of their districts, a low-risk approach for a party with 77 more seats than Republicans. A loss of even a dozen would put Democratic conservatives in the catbird seat, assuming they return and remain united.
In Democratic caucus meetings throughout 2009 and this year, White House senior adviser David Axelrod repeatedly made the case that wavering Democrats would be tarred by Republicans with the president's agenda whether they liked it or not. So, he argued, they might as well vote with the White House.
But resistance to the agenda is rewarding some House Democrats as the midterm elections approach. Mr. Bright from Alabama voted against the president on health care, climate change, the stimulus act and Wall Street regulation—and in one of the most conservative districts represented by any Democrat, he is strongly in the running.
You don't say? You mean voting on a conservative agenda will get you reelected? Shocker!
I've always maintained that one of the big reasons the Democrats were able to gain majorities in 2006-2008, was that moderate Democrats in red and purple states were able to win, in lieu of a Republican party gone astray. Voters in those districts wanted conservative candidates, they just happened to find them in the Democratic party as opposed to the GOP.
With those majorities in place, ramming the Obama agenda (veering to the left) through the congress was not going to sit well with those voters. The result is what you see now–a potential collapse of that center majority.
It's all about the POTUS
Reid Wilson sums up the Democrats' problem for this election season:
[…] West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin (D) faces a more difficult race for the state's open Senate seat than he once contemplated. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee purchased television time on Manchin's behalf, even though most surveys peg his approval rating north of 60 percent. But Manchin finds himself running neck and neck with businessman John Raese, who took just 34 percent of the vote when he ran for the seat in 2006.
Manchin's problems are manifest in one individual: President Obama. Obama took just 43 percent of the vote in West Virginia in 2008, and his popularity has only slid further. Republicans are using the same playbook against Manchin as they are against other Democrats, labeling him an Obama rubber stamp.
In a coal state that fears cap-and-trade legislation as a threat to an already teetering economy, that label is deadly. Manchin, who won re-election in 2008 with more than 70 percent of the vote, suddenly finds himself in serious jeopardy as Republicans build rhetorical bridges between him and the national Democratic Party. If those associations can hurt the popular Manchin, they can hurt lesser-known House members running their first re-election campaigns.
In 2008, every politician in the Democratic party, up and down every ticket were elbowing each other to jump on Obama's Hope and Change Express.
For the 2010 midterms anyway, that train has derailed.
What's going on in Delaware?
I'm having some trouble trying to comprehend this:
Ms. O'Donnell is ubiquitous on conservative cable shows and talk radio, with her candidacy hyped by the likes of Rush Limbaugh and the Tea Party Express, based in California. But you can barely find a trace of Ms. O'Donnell or her campaign in Delaware itself, a state that is smaller than some national parks.
Whatever else Ms. O'Donnell may symbolize, she stands for the idea that politics in the online age is increasingly borderless and can often be shaped more by national causes than by anything having to do with local constituents.
The bulk of the contributions her campaign has received have come from outside Delaware, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, and until this week she had no campaign office in the state. She and a few aides were working out of her town house.
If Ms. O'Donnell is actually running anything like a traditional campaign for the Senate, there isn't much evidence of it right now. The campaign's Web site lists no public events at which voters or reporters can meet her or hear her speak. (And in any event, Ms. O'Donnell has declared herself off limits for interviews with national reporters.) Last week, a spokeswoman for Shirley & Bannister, a Virginia-based consulting firm that the O'Donnell campaign recently hired, said she would find out about any scheduled appearances by the candidate, but then she stopped returning e-mails.
At the state Republican headquarters in Wilmington, staff members said Monday that they had no information about whether Ms. O'Donnell was out campaigning. A pile of O'Donnell yard signs, leaning against a wall near the door, was the only obvious signal that the party even had a Senate candidate. (The headquarters continues, though, to get calls from out-of-state voters who are furious at the local party for not supporting Ms. O'Donnell.)
After she won the primary, I wrote that the O'Donnell campaign would have to hunker down and work their tails off to get the message out about what she stands for, set the narrative and take her message to the people of Delaware. Part of that was going out and pressing the flesh with some old-fashioned politicking.
I disagree with O'Donnell's decision to stop doing media interviews–I'm not a fan of when politicians do that as it makes it appear as if there's something to hide, or they lack confidence in themselves.
But back to the Times piece. I understand the grassroots campaign is an online phenomenon more than anything (over $2 million raised doesn't come in the mail), and people more astute than I on these matters have better insight as to what's really going on in Delaware. At least I hope so, anyway. But I'm just getting the feeling that O'Donnell is not going about this the right way, and needs to get out there more and not less. Again, I hope I'm wrong.
UPDATE. It's been a little more than two weeks since the primary and the O'Donnell campaign still hasn't run a television ad. Jim Geraghty scratches his head:
We are a month away from Election Day, and so far, the O'Donnell campaign has yet to air a television ad. I am informed by those close to the campaign that the ads should be going up "soon," with the precise launch date still being determined by those producing the ads.
[T]he Chris Coons campaign and the DSCC have each aired two ads since the primary, and obviously O'Donnell has endured being the punchline of every late-night comedian and Saturday Night Live. This race may turn on whether or not her image in Delaware voters' minds has been irrevocably set, or whether she can show that there's much more to her than her old appearances on MTV and Bill Maher's show.

Grayson's lunacy helps out Webster
Being a liar and a lunatic has it's advantages for your opponent:
Daniel Webster, a Republican running for the House in Florida, sent out a fund-raising appeal Tuesday, according to a spokesman — not long after his Democratic opponent, Representative Alan Grayson, went up with an advertisement comparing Mr. Webster's stances on women's issues to the Taliban's.
The response? Brian Graham, the Webster spokesman, says the campaign raised more than its original goal of $50,000 the first day the appeal went out. On Wednesday evening, a graphic on the candidate's Web site appeared to show that the campaign had surpassed its revised goal of $100,000.
"Today has been better than we expected," said Mr. Graham, who added that the campaign had also placed fund-raising pleas on Google and the Drudge Report. "We'll be re-evaluating that goal again."
Coupled with this morning's bombshell poll from Florida, this is even more good news from Florida's 8th district.
FL-8: Grayson down 7 in latest poll
Eventually, being an insane liar catches up with you. Being part of Obama's Democrats circa 2010 doesn't help much either:
In one of the most closely watched U.S. House races in the nation, Republican Daniel Webster now holds a 7-point lead over Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson in Central Florida's 8th Congressional District, according to a new Sunshine State News Poll.
Webster, a former state senator, leads the freshman congressman 43-36 in the survey of 559 likely voters conducted Sept. 25-27. TEA ("Taxed Enough Already") Party candidate Peg Dunmire drew 6 percent and NPA hopeful George Metcalfe garnered 3 percent, while 9 percent remained undecided (2 percent cited "other" and 1 percent refused to state).
Digging deeper, the numbers look even worse for Grayson as 51 percent of respondents said they had an unfavorable view of the Orlando-area congressman.
"Grayson has real problems here," said Jim Lee, president of Voter Survey Service, which conducted the poll for Sunshine State News.
"He's even more unpopular than the president, which is not surprising given how controversial he has been with his rhetoric, overall style and TV ads."
Lee added, "It's fascinating that both Grayson and the president have virtually the same image (a positive/negative ratio of 34/51), but Grayson is actually disliked more by independents (36/47 favorable/unfavorable) while Obama is only 36/37."
Keep in mind that Grayson is a rock-star to liberal Democrats. To them, his flame-throwing and ignorant comments and lies exemplify what the entire Democratic party should be about. No moderates, remember?

It all seems to be coming together in some strange way but I'm not sure to what end. Last month I went on a week-long history trip to Poland to visit the new and old of Jewish Poland. We went to the concentration camps of Treblinka and Auschwitz-Birkenau, the forests which contain the mass graves of horrific numbers of tortured and shot bodies of babies, children and adults, the Warsaw cemetery, the new and beautiful Polin Museum of the History of Polish Jews which stands in what had been the Warsaw Ghetto, and many small towns depicting the complete wipe-out of a people. We also visited farm houses tucked into a beautiful countryside where some incredibly humane and brave Polish gentiles hid Jewish families at the risk of their own lives. Hearing a first-hand account from a 90 year- old Polish woman of how her parents (she was about 18 at the time) had saved a family of eight Jews was a most poignant highlight of the trip. The little boy that her family hid is now a grandfather living in Israel. A few years ago this same woman spoke to a group of students from Israel whereupon a girl came over to her at the end of the talk and said, "that's my grandfather you saved!" We can only imagine the tears and emotions that flowed into the wee hours of that night.
"He who saves a single life, saves the world entire." Talmud
Needless to say, it's pretty hard to take all of this in. It's one thing to read about it in books, see movies, hear about it, and another to actually see it… the hair that was cut off from the camp inmates and made into pillow and blanket stuffing, the open group latrines where one could only 'go' as permitted which was a rarity, the railroad tracks and spots where with the point of a finger to the 'wrong side' one was sent to the death showers, where soon after the intense black smoke signified – mission accomplished.
The key question at our last night's dinner as we processed our overall week was one I continue to ask myself: What do I do with all this? What's my take-away? I can't simply tuck it away as if to cross it off my bucket list and say, 'OK, saw this, felt it, learned some more history by an incredible historian, David Bernstein.'
What do I do with what I saw and felt? What will be different for me having visited some of the places where the worst form of evil was perpetrated, to the silence and passive indifference of the world. Adding this to my archive of trips, albeit a most meaningful and powerful one, is simply not enough. And so I struggle.
"The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of beauty is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, but indifference between life and death." Elie Wiesel
Just this past weekend I joined a group of synagogue members who visit the sick in a local hospital (Bikor Cholim). Ironically, two of the patients we visited were personal witnesses to the horror of the Holocaust. One elderly man had been in the American Army during WWII, stationed in Germany. As he had his army cap above his hospital bed, he began telling some war stories. And he ended by telling us what he has never been able to relinquish from his being, and what brought him to tears as he expressed so vividly: the burning smell of human flesh coming from chimneys (crematoriums). He can still smell it today at the age of 90. How did this happen, he rhetorically asked as we stood in front of his bed. I couldn't utter a word; it was all too fresh for me as I had just returned from seeing the remains of those chimneys and crematoriums.
The perennial question – how did the world and God allow this to happen; a question to which Elie Wiesel hopes for an answer as he ascends up to heaven.
The next patient was sitting in a chair hooked up to oxygen, quite feisty stating how strong she is at 98, flanked by her doting daughter and deliciously warm adult grandson. She proceeded to tell us she had survived Auschwitz and came from the same town as Elie Wiesel where she went to school with his sister. At which point the daughter said, "oh, he just died." I asked her to repeat herself as I hadn't yet heard about his death and was shocked into tears. I was in the middle of re-reading his most recent and now last book, Open Heart. I had been intending to write him a letter this coming week wanting to express my thoughts in the hope of getting a response.
He was my hero from way back in grad school when I wrote a paper on influential people. He, along with Viktor Frankl (author of Man's Search for Meaning), have been two of my 'gurus' who personify my life-long interest in people transcending adversity. They were both concentration camp survivors who went on to do immensely meaningful, healing and helping missions with their lives. They brought forth Goodness. They made goodness win for them and for all the millions of lives they touched, and will continue to impact upon forever.
They both went on to create light out of darkness, goodness out of evil. We all must do that, otherwise what's it all for?!

Even if every quarterback struggled in spring practice, it is not likely USC would ever go to a two-quarterback system next season.
"That would surprise me," USC offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian said.
"We've been a one-quarterback team since I've been here. And I was never a fan of that as a player, of shuffling the quarterbacks."
But what happens if one quarterback struggles? Will the hook be quicker than in recent seasons?
"My goal is the starter doesn't struggle," Sarkisian said.
As the first week concludes with today's practice, junior Mark Sanchez remains ahead in USC's quarterback competition because of his experience.
"Mark probably still is ahead," sophomore Mitch Mustain said. "Aaron (Corp) and I were playing catch up from the beginning."
Impressive start
Tailback Allen Bradford has been the best tailback the first week, with several long runs. He appears ready to challenge for playing time after two years on the sideline.
"This spring the door's wide open," Bradford said. "Self-motivation has me going right now. I'm ready to play."
Bradford, who arrived at USC playing safety and was a highly regarded linebacker in high school, said he does not want to switch to defense.
"Not right now. I spent two years learning the offense," he said.
Cushing waits
Linebacker Brian Cushing is not expected to do much this spring following offseason ankle surgery, but would like to play at some point.
"I don't want to be out," Cushing said. "But I can't come back until I' m 100 percent. I've got to be healthy. It's my last year."
Cornerback concerns
Josh Pinkard, who tore knee ligaments before the season opener last fall, is not cleared to resume full practice duties until training camp. That leaves Cary Harris, Shareece Wright and Kevin Thomas as the main cornerbacks.
But Carroll expects incoming freshman T.J. Bryant to be part of the rotation. Another freshman, former West Torrance High running back Brian Baucham, is considered behind that group.

CRA has recently released a new guidance called "Canadian Registered Charities Carrying out Activities Outside Canada". http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/chrts-gvng/chrts/plcy/cgd/tsd-cnd-eng.html Although the name suggests "foreign activities" this document deals with a lot more than foreign activities. It covers the relationship between a Canadian charity and any non-qualified donee, whether in Canada or abroad. If a Canadian charity has dealing with, for example, a non-profit that does not have Canadian registered charity status then the same rules apply as to a Canadian registered charity dealing with a foreign entity. Essentially, almost all organizations outside of Canada are non-qualified donees. If you are going to transfer resources to them you need to maintain "direction and control" over those resources. This document helps a Canadian charity understand what is required for direction and control. Failure to maintain direction and control can result in a 105% penalty of the amount transferred and/or revocation of charitable status.
Who should be reading and understanding the guidance? The main groups are:
a) registered charities that conduct foreign activities;
b) registered charities that work with intermediaries in Canada that are not qualified donees; [update – you can see CRA's new guidance or policy CRA's new Guidance "Using an Intermediary to Carry out a Charity's Activities within Canada"
c) professional advisors, such as lawyers, accountants, who advise charities.
Here is a bigger font PDF version of the guidance "Canadian Registered Charities Carrying out Activities Outside Canada". This is easier to read, download, highlight and comment on. Guidance_for_Canadian_Registered_Charities_Carrying_Out_Activities_Outside_Canada_-_July_8,_2010.pdf
For those that are interested here is a sample contractor agreement for a Canadian registered charity conducting foreign activities I prepared it for the Capacity Builders Charity Law Information Program (CLIP) and it is listed under "Resources". As well here is a copy on my website: https://www.canadiancharitylaw.ca/uploads/Contractor_Agreement_sample_for_Canadian_Charity_Conducting_Foreign_Activities_-March_31,_2010.pdf
As well, here are some other resources on foreign activities that I have prepared that may be of interest:
Conduit vs. Structured Arrangement:

Here is an article I wrote in The Philanthropist on foreign activities:
Here are three one hour webinars I have prepared on foreign activities by Canadian charities:
Here are the individual webinars (they are free and 1 hr in length)

The Cleveland Cavaliers, the NBA's first team to permanently install a 3D projection system in their home arena, brought back fan-favorite sports entertainment, the 'Cavs Arcade' at the December 1st home game against the L.A. Clippers. Interactive, full-court arcade games are made possible with discreet motion-tracking technology. Pioneer and industry leader of permanent in-arena installations and creative services, Quince Imaging was selected to design and adapt a full-court projection reminiscent of the popular and classic arcade game, Pong, to add to the 'Cavs Arcade'.
The relationship between Quince and long-standing NBA client, the Cleveland Cavaliers, began in 2014, when Quince and the Cavs teamed up to bring the court to life for the very first time with 3D projections to commemorate the Big Z jersey retirement ceremony. The court projection debut, which instantly went viral, launched 3D projection image mapping onto the forefront of the newest wave in sports entertainment. Since then, Quince and the Cavs have worked together extensively to coordinate pregame shows, halftime shows, time-out entertainment and commemoration ceremonies.
The Cavs were also the first NBA team to deploy discreet motion-tracking technology, which enables them to build real-time, interactive court projections. Wearable motion-tracking sensors trace participants' movement, by synchronizing with state-of-the-art media servers, to deliver instant 3D compositing directly onto the surface of the court. For the full-court, pong-inspired game that took place during a timeout, two fans were selected to compete against one another using motion-tracking paddles to pass the virtual ball back and forth.
Not only have the on-court arcade games provided an innovative platform upon which to delight fans and drive audience engagement, they have also captured the watchful eyes of potential new sponsors. Becoming part of a bigger sponsorship opportunity, the interactive court projections are tapping into the forefront of experiential marketing and simultaneously providing a hands-on, memorable experience for fans. The Cleveland Cavaliers are visionaries of modern sports entertainment and their crowd-pleasing efforts haven't gone unnoticed. View the Cavs Arcade Here.

Amazing film with the WORST sound ever. I've tried to hear the dialogue three times. Finally got an idea and turned on captions!
Yike. Great stuff that are "so natural" are often mumbled performances.
Surely someone in technology can eliminate the need to, either crank the sound, or get sound bars!
This movie shows the ups and downs of a man being with a man in 1960's Wyoming. Although both men are married to women, they keep up their emotional and physical affair that takes place over the course of 20 years. Due to the social and political climate and the fact that they are both married, they are unable to reveal their true selves or come to recognize who they are in reality. This film is emotional and heart-breaking while representing those that had no positive representation back in those times. I would rate this movie 4.5/5 stars and recommend it to those in the mood to laugh, smile, and cry. @The_Reviewer of the Teen Review Board of the Hamilton Public Library
This movie made in 2005. It led the topic through all of these years. It is not simply about queers in a way. It is about a human relationship. It is a Forbidden Love and Tragedy story like Romeo and Juliet. A love could be banded by races, by regions, by religions, or by genders etc. unfortunately, which is a human tragety.
It is filmed beautifully. It walks through mountains, flocks of sheep, running riveres, simple lives in a remote area and a deep unreachable love.
It is a pioneer of its kind and it has been leading through to the main stream after years passing by.
I visited Calgary and the place near it called Kananaski this summer, knowing most of this film was shot in that area. My suggestion is that listen to the soundtrack of Brokeback Mountain when you drive on the road. The beautiful sadness of music and scenery are just breathtaking.
This forbidden love story made me cry. Love is so hard to find and even harder to keep.
Brokeback Mountain is not a great love story. It is also way too long at 2 hours and 14 minutes.
This cinematic masterpiece was robbed of a best picture Oscar the year it came out. It is an uncommon love story between two masculine ranch/rodeo hands that unfolds atop a beautiful mountain, Brokeback Mountain, and inside a small two-person tent during a seasonal sheep herding gig in an otherwise bleak, cruel and violent landscape.
"A classic" doesn't even come close to describing Brokeback Mountain. Words don't even come to my mouth when I think about writing about this film. What has become to be one of my all time favorite films, is one of the most romantic stories that I have seen.
The story of two ranch hands working together over a summer herding sheep on Brokeback mountain becomes a story of friendship, forbidden love, and tragedy. Fall in love with them and fall in love with Brokeback mountain.
This movie was more about 2 people learning about themselves and letting themselves love and be loved. The place and time of the incidents are unfortunate considering how unaccepting society was (is) in that setting. They broke the norms they were raised to believe for just a moment and were miserable otherwise when separated. Beautiful scenery and acting was spot on. Gay, straight, bi, thai...we're still all individuals and entitled to happiness.
As a straight male, i was not interested in watching this "so-called gay" movie but my interest in Ledger, Gyllenhaal and Ang Lee plus curiousity of the Alberta landscape made me overcome my reluctance.
I was happily surprised how enjoyable this movie is. No surprise that A Lee did an amazing directing job with the great screen play. The acting was great. The scenery is amazing. (There is more straight sex (and more graphic) than gay sex.)

Tobbezeichnet posted a topic in SuggestionsHey Guys, today I'm here do present my idea of a new card layout... I wasn't happy with the old look of the cards. I know I'm used to it as the most of us are but its way to oldschool. I mean think about it, it's like 10 years old So I did a more new fession kinda look/design...mostly based on my own logo creation, the creation of the winner and the current logo. So what I did was a whole card overhauling. Basically from scratch. The only things I kept are pretty much the little icon for the abilities...since I kinda still like them...no matter that I NEVER EVER looked at them specifically since this task Already thinking about something that either gives more information about the ability or leave them out completely. All opinions are welcome...as well as suggestions. So hope you guys like it. 1st (old one) 2nd (new one) 3rd (with improvements and suggestions) 4th (3rd orb visible neutral and border rarety turquoise) Ah btw for now I used the old design of the Enforcer, but I will do a rework of his artwork too the next days

Space will always be the final frontier, now a spacecraft called The LightSail is joining in on the exploration of space with its first test flight scheduled to take place on May 20th. The solar powered space sail is the first one of its kind, but the project needs a lot of money before it can complete the first mission, which is currently scheduled for 2016.
The LightSail was developed by famous late cosmologist Carl Sagan who envisioned a spacecraft that is solely propelled by radiation from the sun. Bill Nye, along with The Planetary Society, are dedicated to seeing Sagan's invention come to life, which is why they have started a Kickstarter campaign to raise the $1.2 million that is needed to send the spacecraft on its first mission. The money raised will go towards the construction, testing, and deployment of LightSail. Those who donate are eligiable for posters and signed paraphernalia.
Nye is the head of The Planetary Society, a non-profit organization who will be building their own version of the SpaceSail. If successful, Beneful says the small craft will be sent into orbit, by a spaceX Falcon Heavy rocket, with its destination being 450 miles above the surface of the earth.

Ok. I hope we all had a little fun with this one. I know it wasn't as easy to keep track of numbers that were taken. But now they are all gone and no one got the "BOOT".
I gave a little clue within the thread about looking closely at the board. Go take a look there are 6 blue numbers and 6 red numbers.
So now for the "twist". It wouldn't be a Hollyhock giveaway without a twist. I know right???? stay tuned.
So first drawing with random generator will be 1-46. Then I will take just the blue numbers and draw them. Then the red numbers. So potentially 3 winners!!! However if the original drawing is either of the red or blue numbers that person will win two plants. I will draw after dinner

RANGELY I Rangely School District has deemed October "principal appreciation month" and would like to honor Parkview Elementary Principal Bennie Bennett and Rangely Jr./Sr. High School Principal Berry Swenson.
Bennett, according to Rangely's kindergarteners, helps sick kids, "talks to us over the radio (intercom)," helps kids, tells stories on the radio (see above), "helps us from bad stuff happening, keeps us safe," talks to kids in trouble, "bad kids come to her office and she calls the moms," makes the rules, types on her computer, "comes into our classroom" and "helps everybody read."
According to a Parkview teacher, "Bennie is techno savvy and takes time to speak to students and staff wherever she is. She is very involved with our school in making those that attend Parkview educationally 'fun'."
And from the parent of a Parkview student: "I was a little nervous about my children having a new principal after having Ms. Lansing, who was wonderful, but Ms. Bennett has come in as her own person and has made Parkview Elementary just as special. I think our students and community are very fortunate that Ms. Bennett chose to come to Rangely."
A student at Rangely Junior/Senior High School has this to say about Principal Berry Swenson: "I like Mr. Swenson because he is a hard working man and gets things done. He is strict, which is good. Mr. Swenson is also great with the students. He gives them compliments and jokes with them sometimes. He makes the students want to come to school. He makes everybodys' days enjoyable.
A teacher commented, "Berry Swenson is a wonderful man who I put total confidence and faith in as the principal of Rangely Junior/Senior High School. He is the type of administrator who is constantly looking for ways to make our school environment the best it can possibly be by always supporting and looking out for the needs of his staff, the parents, and most importantly, the students."
And one of the parents of a Rangely Jr./Sr. High student stated: "Mr. Swenson has proven that he is committed to the welfare of the students, teachers, and staff at Rangely Jr./Sr. High School. Since he has become our principal disciplinary issues have gone considerably down and the learning environment and the students attitudes have gone way up!"
Congratulations to these two Rangely School District principals.
Bennett, Swenson honored

A friend of ours from Cornwall, Jo Riley, emailed Rachel this morning, saying that their boys, Alex and Simon, as well as everyone else in Year 2 at St. Minver School, very much missed seeing Nathaniel on this the first day of school.
I've been thinking a lot about England lately, comparing it to the US in general, and Sausalito in particular. Most of it is a result of missing the simpler life we had in Cornwall. But lately it's also been the result of reading the sometimes horrifying reports of what's been happening in New Orleans, and wondering whether we wouldn't rather be bringing up the boys some place a little more civilized.
And so I've decided to write a seriers of articles entitled "Things I Like About…". These will be little vignettes of our lives in Cornwall and Sausalito, stories to help me remember why we're here, and why we were there.

I have a huge interest in Cornwall, as I have been told since I was young that my ancestors hailed from Cornwall. Everytime I engage someone from England in a conversation about Cornwall, they become wistful. Why did you leave?

After Jim Morrison married Patricia Kennealy in the Wiccan wedding ceremony he left for France. In most biographies it's mentioned only in passing as Morrison going to Europe with Leon Barnard and visiting Spain and Morocco, but they missed the most intriguing aspect of that visit, that Morrison visited the set of Jacques Demy's film "Peau D'Ane".
This may have been a trip meant to be carefree freedom and packing in experience. Looming ahead of Morrison in August of 1970 was the obscenity trial in Miami stemming from the March 1, 1969 performance at the Dinner Key Auditorium. If you accept the time line that Morrison and Kennealy married on the 21st, that was a Sunday. Morrison and Doors publicist Leon Barnard probably arrived in New York on Friday the 19th to deliver the tapes of "Absolutely Live" to the Elektra offices, their European vacation already planned but with maybe a few days to kill until the flight to Paris. Perhaps Morrison had planned to call on Kennealy during the stopover or perhaps the solstice wedding was already planned (Kennealy has said they had a rather romantic correspondence going), or perhaps it happened a little more spontaneously. Morrison and Kennealy spent Saturday together and in rush of romance Morrison proposed, bought the matching claddagh wedding rings and Kennealy got everything together for the next day. After the ceremony, Morrison fell ill that night and through Monday either because of already developing illness with Morrison, or as Kennealy asserts from the energies released in the intense ceremony. Morrison had recuperated by Tuesday (June 23) and would have rejoined Barnard for the flight to France and probably arrived in Paris on the morning of the 24th. Although, the clip that captures Morrison on the set of "Peau D' Ane" isn't dated, it's acknowledged Morrison and Ronay were on the set in late June, and that would favor the time line above.
In Agnes Varda's documentary "L'Univers de Jacques Demy" (she was married to Demy from 1962 until his death in 1990), Morrison is seen visiting the set of Demy's fairy tale "Peau d'Ane", walking the grounds with Alain Ronay. He signs an autograph for the son of actress Delphine Seyrig. While visiting the set it is probable Morrison met Catherine Deneuve, who Demy used in many of his films. More interestingly for Morrison, the former UCLA film student and aspiring filmmaker, he may have also met French director Francois Truffaut who was one of the directors credited with starting the French New Wave of cinema in the late 50's and early 60's.
Demy was inspired by the fantasy and fabulist possibilities presented by film, as well as imagery from iconic Hollywood films. "Peau D'Ane" represents the fairy tale aspect Demy was interested in. The film is about a woman, Catherine Deneuve, who with the help of a fairy godmother disguises herself so she doesn't have to marry a man she doesn't love. "Peau D'Ane" was released in December 1970.

Tory Paul Maynard has retained his seat in the key battleground of Blackpool North and Cleveleys.
Thanks to delays in the counting process, caused by a huge number of late postal votes being handed in at polling stations, candidates were left waiting until after 5.30am for the outcome.
But Mr Maynard won the seat with 17,508 votes, a majority of 3,340. Sam Rushworth (Labour) was second with 14,168. Sue Close (Lib Dem) polled 948, Simon Noble (UKIP) 5,823, John Warnock (Green) 889 and James Walsh (Northern Party) 57.
There were delays in counting the votes because it took longer than the Blackpool South area to transport ballot papers from across a wider area to the sports centre.
There were also 900 postal votes handed in on Thursday at polling stations across both constituencies which had to be verified on top of the usual polling station votes.
And in some areas officials had to carry out additional verification due to the number of ballot papers not correlating with the registers from the polling stations.
UKIP's Simon Noble said: "There has been a lot of good feedback on the doorstep during our campaign, but we were faced with the challenge of growing the UKIP vote very dramatically and very quickly.
"We got a great reaction to our convoy when we drove through Blackpool for 12 hours on Wednesday."
John Warnock of the Green Party said their presence in Blackpool was growing stronger despite the result.
He said: "In November we didn't even think we could field any candidates, but we have grown to nearly 150 members in Blackpool.
"We are pleased we could give people the choice to vote Green and it's our job now to grow and look at future elections, and we think we got our message across."
Liberal Democrat Sue Close said she believed being part of a coalition with the Tories in government had affected the Lib Dem share of the vote.
But she added: "Hopefully people will realise the reason for going into the coalition was for the good of the country."

The most talked about book this summer is Harper Lee's Go Set A Watchman. I purposely avoided all the pre-publication reviews and yammer so I could open it with the freshest possible eye. I read it in a day and I'm still not quite sure what I think of the book. Mostly I think someone with avarice in their heart had a lot to do with publication.
But, let's mark the week with a flash fiction contest! Prize is a copy of Go Set a Watchman.
The usual rules apply:
1. Write a story using 100 words or fewer.
2. Use these words in the story:
3. You must use the whole word, but that whole word can be part of a larger word. The letters for the
prompt must appear together and in consecutive order.
Thus: flam/flamingo is ok but man/mean is not.
5. Post the entry in the comment column of THIS blog post.
6. One entry per person. If you need a mulligan (a do-over) erase your entry and post again. It helps to work out your entry first, then post.
7. International entries are allowed, but prizes may vary for international addresses. Prize is generally a book.
8. Titles count as part of the word count (you don't need a title)
9. Under no circumstances should you tweet anything about your particular entry to me. Example: "Hope you like my entry about Felix Buttonweezer!" This is grounds for disqualification. Tweeting things in general about the contest is fine: "I entered the flash fiction contest!"
8. Please do not add any comments about contest entries. (Not for example "I love Felix Buttonweezer's entry!") They will be deleted and you will find yourself in Hot Water.
Contest opens: Saturday, July 18, 5:44am (ok, I changed this without notice but I got up early, so there ya go.)
Contest closes: Sunday, July 19, 6am (note that this is EARLIER than normal!)
Questions? Tweet to me @Janet_Reid
Ready? SET?
Oops, too late.
Contest closed at 6am Sunday July 19.

BANGKOK, May 5 (UPI) -- The first-ever emergency response assessment of energy stocks for a non-member reflects a shift in consumption patterns, the IEA said of Thailand.
The International Energy Agency examined policies and procedures in the Thai energy sector, the first for a non-member state.
IEA Deputy Executive Director Richard Jones said the examination of Thailand reflects an emerging pattern in energy consumption.
"This recognizes the shifts in consumption patterns since the IEA's founding and a growing realization that responding effectively to crises today demands cooperation with rising consumers in South East Asia, China, India and the Middle East," he said in a statement.
The IEA said Thailand has oil stocks in place to last about 45 days. The assessment offered Thailand "best practice" suggestions to respond to possible supply disruptions by setting up the right channels for international coordination.
"Our experience has taught us that it is critical to have stocks and to be ready to act quickly," said Jones.

Since having my wifi router hacked and my personal data stolen, I was very paranoid while using any internet over wifi while public wifis were a big no. This led me to have problems in connectivity especially when my data connection wasn't available with huge charges on my data plan as a best case scenario. Thanks to CASVPN I am able to use my devices on any wifi with complete security and freedom.
Vas Tamás

Due to the nature of my work, it is imperative that I need to provide my clients with security for their information. CASVPN took that responsibility off my hands and I am happy to say that all my work related information is secured.

Being a Real Studio developer can be lonely work, especially if you work on your own like many of us do. We often go to client sites, but the project work we do is usually done at home on our own. We are all used to having to work problems out ourselves using the forums, or occasionally by asking questions on the NUG.
In May, a client using several of my bespoke Real Studio databases asked me to recommend someone who could support them should I become unable in future. I found another experienced developer and we met a couple of times. It went so well we decided to form a user group in the midlands, UK. We planned to hold an event in Leicester on July 28th to get some UK-based developers together.
After getting the word out through Real Software and Christian Schmitz from MonkeyBread Software, and on the NUG, we hoped to get ten people from England to attend our event. The response was overwhelming and the event quickly sold out. One guy even asked if we had plans to stream the event live so he could watch from the USA! There is clearly a demand for Real Studio developer events and networking meetings.
The event was last Thursday. About ten of us socialized together in the hotel the evening before, which was a nice icebreaker. The event went very well. Seventeen developers from England, Germany and Belgium came for the day. The three guys from Belgium found they worked about two miles from each other and lived about seven miles apart!
The main reason people wanted to come was to meet other Real Studio developers, to socialize, to discuss technical issues and get help, and meet people who could maybe help in future projects.
The presentations were well received. We also had a video chat with Geoff Perlman, who demonstrated the latest Web Edition and also answered our technical questions and talked about the future direction of the IDE.
The benefits for me have been great. I discovered lots of simple but very useful things I didn't know. I've also made useful contacts and have new development and training opportunities to explore. I learned how to make some of my coding quicker and easier, and got fresh ideas for my own projects. I now know how to get around some technical issues I had been struggling with and I helped a few other developers get over a technical problem too.
It's been a breath of fresh air. I have new contacts and feel energized.
You don't have to be alone if you work for yourself. You can get involved with a user group, and go to meetings. You can work out answers to your issues with others, find out how to do things better, and help others with their issues. You never know where it could lead.

The tech pundits have released their iPhone 5 reviews.
The Apple iPhone 5 reviews have been released by tech pundits and Apple friends including Walt Mossberg, David Pogue, Jim Dalrymple and John Gruber. Bottom line of the iPhone 5 reviews is that the iPhone 5 is excellent. It is lighter, faster and thinner. The new screen is amazing and the bigger real-estate makes a big difference in usability. The negative points reviewers found are in the new Apple Maps app, that lacks some Google Maps features. Some reviewers also question the dock connector change.
iPhone 5 Reviews:
The iPhone 5 goes on sale on Friday September. 21. Today Apple is releasing iOS 6.

Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 32, No. 1 June 2005 Jeffrey J. Archambault and Marie Archambault MARSHALL UNIVERSITY THE EFFECT OF REGULATION ON STATEMENT DISCLOSURES IN THE 1915 MOODY'S MANUALS Abstract: United States firms in the early 20th century were subject to public and private regulation. Forms of regulation included rate regu-lation and stock exchange listing requirements. These regulations cre-ated incentives to report income statement information. This study utilizes the 1915 Moody's Analyses of Investments to test whether regulated firms in the United States reported more income statement information than unregulated firms. Rate regulation influenced utili-ties to report income statements more frequently than industrial com-panies. Stock market listing requirements also influenced the report-ing of income statements. Therefore, the results indicate that both public and private regulations influenced financial reporting in the early 20th century. Another finding of the study is that income state-ments were more frequently reported than balance sheets for both railroads and utilities. INTRODUCTION The importance of income statement versus balance sheet information has increased over time. A major shift from the balance sheet to the income statement occurred during the 20th century as the income statement began to be used to assess the ability of a firm to generate wealth [Buckmaster and Jones, 1997; Jones and Aiken, 1994]. The need for financial reporting may be better understood by investigating the causes of this shift in emphasis. Acknowledgments: The authors thank the editor and referees for their comments which improved the paper. The participants at the Ohio Regional American Accounting Association Meeting and the American Academy of Ac-counting and Finance Meeting are also thanked.
