Blaring ads, arguments with co-workers, family and (former) Facebook friends. The cold nip in the air is already driving you over the edge, but presidential elections really make you want to bury your head in the sand.
No need to flee the country without voting. The State Department and the Federal Voting Assistance Program offer guidance for U.S. citizens. But if you don't want to hear any more about it after that, a warm weather getaway might be just the ticket.
If the elections don't go your way, hold onto this list. These places are great ex-pat havens.
Tahiti is one of the most remote island chains in the world, a place where the peaceful lifestyle, luscious green mountains and deep blue waters fed the muses of painter Paul Gauguin, writer James Michener and many others.
Patricia Schultz, author of "1000 Places to See Before You Die," recently returned from French Polynesia's Tahiti, where she especially loved the island of Bora Bora.
"It takes about a minute to know it's the place to effortlessly drop off the map," she said via e-mail. "Everyone greets you with 'Ia orana' - hello - and wears large, luscious flowers in their hair."
Schultz stayed in luxury at the Four Seasons, but she said there are ways to see Tahiti more affordably by staying on the outer island Huahine, for example, where "tourism has been blessedly slow to arrive. Captain Cook might still recognize it."
Isla Holbox, Mexico
Mexico has long been an escape valve for Americans fleeing politics.

The Basics

About Ugly
Our Certified "Soft-Wash" System has safely cleans over 50,000 roofs each year!
We completely eradicate Mold (Black Streaks), Moss, Algae, Lichen & all other types of bacteria!
Every homeowner faces the never ending problem of bacterial growth accumulating on their roof. It starts out as a small patch that will go unnoticed at first. However, over time the spores spread and begin feeding off the organic material embedded within the shingles. The crushed limestone that is used as a weight additive during production is a natural food source for the bacteria. The most common growth appears as a "Black Streak" which leaves your roof looking UGLY! We can safely and effectively correct this common issue using our Certified Soft-Wash System.
Our Soft-Wash System is guaranteed to instantly restore your shingles to their proper condition, preventing premature damage to the surface and extending the lifespan. Using a high pressure systemto clean your roof has the potential to produce significant damage to the roof surface. The high pressure blows away the granules on shingles and can render them ineffective. Our Certified Soft-Wash Systemis 100% safe and completely eliminates the potential for costly damage to your roof.

If you need help finding the correct winning numbers please visit the Past Winning Numbers lookup page and search for winning number results by game, specific date, Raffle number or Club Keno draw number. Instant Tickets can be taken to any Michigan Lottery retailer to be checked for winnings.
I Matched Numbers But How Much Did I Win?Each Michigan Lottery game has its own prize table. You can find this information by visiting the Games page and then selecting your game. You should see a clickable menu above your game and then select "Prize Table" to determine your winnings.
How Can I Find Out What Prizes Are Remaining for Instant Games?This information can be found by visiting the Prizes Remaining for Instant Games page which is updated once per day.
How can I get Club Keno "To Go" working?Be sure that you are using the latest Flash plug-in with your browser. This can typically be found at the Adobe Flash website and easily installed on your computer. It is also recommended that only a high-speed internet connection is utilized when playing.
In order to ensure that the most accurate information is posted online, it typically takes 20-30 minutes before numbers publish to the website but on occasion further delays may be encountered. Player's Club members can visit the Notifications Page and sign up to have winning numbers sent directly to their mobile phone or inbox.
Most information is available on the MichiganLottery.com website but occasionally you may find specific information on the www.michigan.gov/lottery website. You may want to check this website as well to see if it helps you find what you are searching for.
Can I Search the Website?Your best option is to follow this link to a Google page that allows you to search only pages found on MichiganLottery.com. Just type in the keywords you're looking for and click the "Advanced Search" button on the bottom of the screen.
For all Michigan Lottery on-line games (Mega Millions, Powerball, Classic Lotto 47, Keno, Fantasy 5, Lucky Lines, the Daily Games, Raffles and Club Keno), winners have one year from the draw date to collect their prize.
For Michigan Lottery instant games, winners have until the Claim By date listed on the back of the ticket to collect their prize.
Do I Have to Pay Taxes on My Winnings?All Michigan Lottery prizes are subject to federal, state and local income taxes. The Lottery is required by law to report to the IRS all winnings greater than $600. The Lottery is required by law to withhold estimated taxes at the rate of 25 percent (federal) and 4.35 percent (state) for any prize over $5,000 paid to a U.S. resident. Winners of prizes greater than $600 will receive a W2-G form, detailing prize payment and taxes, at time of payment to be filed with their yearly federal, state and local income taxes. Non-U.S. residents winning prizes of greater than $600 are subject to a flat 30 percent estimated federal withholding rate as well as the 4.35 percent state withholding rate and will receive a 1042 form detailing prize payment and taxes in February.
How do I request a duplicate W2-G?Duplicate W2-G's can be requested by calling 517-373-6001.
Do I Have to Release My Name to the Public?In 1988, the Michigan Legislature enacted Public Act 243 which gives winners of prizes greater than $10,000 the right to remain anonymous. However, Mega Millions and Powerball winners are exempt from this act. The names and cities of residence for all Michigan Lottery Mega Millions and Powerball winners (including the jackpot) are considered public record.
If I Win a Jackpot Installment Prize But Die Before I Receive All Scheduled Payments, What Happens to My Remaining Payments?The prize is paid out in FULL. According to the Michigan Lottery Act, "the Lottery Bureau shall continue to make the remaining prize payments to the prize-winner's surviving spouse and living children, in equal proportions, unless otherwise directed by the prizewinner. If no spouse, children, or beneficiaries exist, the remaining prize payments shall be made to the prize-winner's estate."
Lottery players in cities all over the U.S. are pooling their resources for an increased chance at lottery riches. Dozens of Michigan-based lottery clubs have collected top Lottery prizes, and players throughout the state are finding out that clubs are a fun way to try their luck at Lottery. So how are they doing it? By forming lottery clubs, and you can, too!
What Is a Lottery Club?Put simply, a lottery club is a group of at least two individuals who purchase wagers in a lottery game together and if a prize is won, it's divided among the lottery club members. It is up to the lottery club to determine its rules of operation, including distribution of prize monies to members. Before a prize can be claimed in the name of a club, an Employer Identification Number (EIN) must be obtained.
How Do You Start a Lottery Club?It's really quite easy. Simply obtain an SS-4 form (Application for Employer Identification Number) from a U.S. Treasury or Internal Revenue Service (IRS) office. You can download the SS-4 Application for Employer Identification Number form from the IRS Forms and Publications page. Other useful forms are also available at this site
You may also call the IRS forms number toll-free at 1-800-829-3676 to order the SS-4 form. Once your form is completed, return it to the IRS, not to the Lottery.
How will the IRS know what portion of a prize a lottery club member received?The club is required to fill out a Substitute 5754 form prior to prize payment. On this form (which will be signed by all club members), each member's name, address, date of birth, phone numbers and Social Security number will be listed, as well as their portion of winnings before taxes. This information will be used by the Lottery to issue payments and the IRS during tax time.
At time of payment, the club members will each receive a W-2G Form, showing their portion of the prize and income tax withholding, if any. Each member then uses the W2-G Form to complete his or her yearly tax return for the year in which the prize was paid by the Lottery.
For more information about federal income taxation and club reporting responsibilities, contact the IRS at (800) 829-1040.
For state tax information, contact the Michigan Department of Treasury at (517) 636-4486
By law, all unclaimed Michigan Lottery prizes (or portions of a Mega Millions or Powerball prize funded by Michigan) revert back to the state School Aid Fund.
If you experience a "Code Error" while submitting tickets, try these troubleshooting steps:
No, you may enter anywhere from 1 to 10 tickets at any time.
Is there a limit on how many tickets I can enter per day?There is a daily limit of 40 ticket submissions per day per player.
Why is there a limit of 40 ticket entries per day?This limiting factor ensures that the Michigan Lottery can maintain a rewards program which is exciting and attainable but also fair and equitable for all members.
Once I enter a ticket on the Code Entry page can it be used again?A ticket may be entered one time only.
I have tickets that I can't remember whether or not I have submitted. How can I see what tickets I have entered?Each time you submit a ticket, a record of your entry appears on the Account History page of the site. All of your entries appear on that list for your information and reference, so you can check the list against the tickets you are holding.
Can I double my chances to win by entering tickets on the Internet and then mail them in as an entry?No. Internet entries are not eligible to be mailed in, and vice versa.
I would rather mail in my tickets. How do I do that?Check the back of your instant tickets to find out if a mail in method is available for that particular game. If the game is eligible for mail in entry it should also reference instructions on how and where to mail in your entry.
You need to register so that we can credit you with points you earn and be able to notify you if you are a winner. By registering, we're able to show you all of your account information including your point and redemption history. We can also ship rewards to you based on the profile information you provided.
How do I create an account?Visit the Player's Club registration page and follow the instructions to create an account. To create an account, you must have a unique valid email address. Limit one (1) account per person.
Who is allowed to join?The program is free to residents of the USA, including Alaska and Hawaii. Each registrant must be 18 years of age or older and have a valid and unique email address.
Visit the My Profile page and log in using your email address and password. Here, you may update your information including your email address.
I have a new email address. Can I still log in?You may still log in, but you must use the email address that you originally registered with. Visit the My Profile page and then you'll be able to update your information including your email address.
What if I don't remember my password?If you forget your password, visit the password reset page and follow the instructions so we can send you a temporary password to use. Be sure to add email@example.com to your address book to ensure that you receive this password reset email. If you did not receive the password reset email please take the steps to update your address book and then visit the password reset page again.
This process could take anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks to post the winner to the website. After a drawing is conducted, winners are contacted and given time to understand tax implications, accept the prize formally, verify identity and verify proof of ticket codes. On occasion, if a winner cannot be verified the Lottery would move into Alternate winners and the process would start over again. Once winners have been confirmed and finalized, they will be posted to the Winners page of the site.
How will I know if I won a prize?If you are selected as a winner the Michigan Lottery Public Relations team will contact you directly by using the telephone or email information found in your Player's Club profile. All prizes that do not require identity and proof of ticket verification will be shipped to the address obtained from your Player's Club profile. Please visit the My Profile page if you need to update your contact information.
How will I get a reward item that I redeemed in the catalog?All reward items will be shipped to your address obtained from your Player's Club profile. If the reward is a digital item, such as a music download code, then the reward will be emailed directly to your email address registered to your Player's Club profile. Please visit the My Profile page if you need to update your contact information.
To earn points, submit the proper codes found on eligible non-winning Michigan Lottery tickets. Enter that code into the site and you will be credited with the point value appropriate for that ticket product. Typically, 2 points are earned per $1 in ticket value. If you need assistance finding codes, submitting codes or solving errors please visit the help section for submitting codes.
How do I know how many points I have?Once logged in, your point balance will appear in the upper right corner of the screen. You may also visit the Account History page to view your transactions.
How do I redeem my points?Once logged in, visit the Rewards & Prizes page of the Player's Club. There, browse through the catalog and choose an item. Then, follow the simple redemption process. Redeeming points in the catalog does not affect any of your previous entries earned into second chance drawings including the $1,000,000 "Play It Again" giveaway.
My point balance seems wrong. What should I do?Sometimes your computer's cache (this is the short-term memory for your browser) will keep you from seeing the most current information, especially if your point total changed since you logged in. If your total seems incorrect, try refreshing your browser window. Or you could log off, close all browser windows, open a new browser window, and log back in.
Will my points expire?Your points will expire one year from the date when you entered them into the site. Once expired, those points cannot be refunded or recovered. Visit the Terms & Conditions pages for details.
What happens to the entries that do not get picked in a drawing? Are they retained for future drawings?Typically, no. Unless otherwise noted in the promotional rules, entries are valid for only one drawing. Occasionally, a promotion will permit entries to be eligible for multiple drawings.
I have Reward Points and would like to redeem them for entries from within the Rewards & Prizes Catalog. Is there a limit on how many entries I can earn?Unless otherwise noted in the promotional rules for the catalog item, members may redeem Reward Points in exchange for drawing entries without limitation – permitting that the member has enough Reward Points available for redemption.
What happens if I submit my entry after the deadline for the drawing?If there is another second chance drawing scheduled for the game, your entry will be eligible for that drawing. Any entries submitted after the final drawing deadline shall be disqualified.
Play It Again is located on the Enter Codes page on the Player's Club website. Just submit anywhere from 1 to 10 tickets at a time on the Enter Codes page and your Play It Again entries will be allocated automatically for every $10 in ticket value submitted!
What are Auto-Entries and how do they work?Auto-Entries are a quick and convenient method for Player's Club members to automatically earn second chance drawing entries without having to understand complex rules and ticket entry combinations. This enables the Player's Club to offer a single page for members to enter codes at the pace which they desire! The Player's Club automatically knows which tickets are eligible for which second chance drawings and will award them each time members hit the correct threshold while banking any partial entries submitted!
What are "partial entries"?An example of this would be to consider that for every $10 in qualifying tickets submitted a Play It Again entry is earned. If a member only has $8 in tickets to enter on a given day the Player's Club will bank this and, at any point in the future, when an additional $2 is entered the Play It Again entry will be automatically awarded to the member.
Is it possible to be earning multiple Auto-Entries for the same ticket submissions?Yes, it is! The Player's Club system understands the rules and eligibility for each ticket and will automatically award entries into any qualifying second chance drawing which may be concurrently available on the site.
How do I know how many entries I am earning into Auto-Entry drawings?To view your entries into the Auto-Entry drawings, please visit your account history page. Here, you can view the dates and the drawings in which you have been entered.
What if I don't want to be automatically entered into a particular second chance drawing?
There is no method available to opt-out of an Auto-Entry because you are not interested in the prize being offered. However, if you are chosen as the winner you may simply reject the prize and the Michigan Lottery shall choose an alternate winner.
The all-new Play It Again is still your favorite second chance drawing for $1,000,000 but now it's even better! Player's Club members can now enter non-winning Fantasy 5, Daily 3&4, Classic Lotto 47, Powerball, Mega Millions, Club Keno, Daily Keno, Raffle and Instant Games for automatic entries into a $1,000,000 drawing!
In addition to allowing more tickets into the drawing, we're also doubling Reward Points! Now you'll earn 2 Reward Points for every $1 non-winning tickets submitted. Fifty cent tickets are eligible for points too!
Did my Instant Replay entries transfer over to the new Play It Again program?No. All tickets entered before December 10, 2011 are included in December 14, 2011 Instant Replay drawing. The December 14, 2011 finalist will be participating with two (2) Play It Again finalists for a chance at $1,000,000 in August 2012. Any auto-entries earned beginning December 10, 2011 will be included in a future Play It Again finalist drawing.
Submitting Draw Games ticket codes is different than submitting Instant Ticket codes. How does this work?Check out the online help documents for locating codes on Draw Games.
Regarding tickets which I previously entered into Instant Replay – do I need to enter them again into Play It Again?No, you should not re-submit tickets which were previously submitted for Instant Replay.

Studio tour attracts artists, sponsors and enthusiasts
Photo courtesy of Leo Malboeuf - As evidenced by his piece titled, "Mugshots," Leo Malboeuf enjoys capturing a moment in freeze frame, particularly that of his grandchildren. Malboeuf's studio is one of the stops along this year's McKinney Art Studio Tour.
By Kelley Chambers,

Published: Monday, November 5, 2012 9:55 AM CST
This month's second Saturday will bring people off of the square and into the studios of 22 local artists.
At the fourth annual McKinney Artist Studio Tour (MAST), ticket holders can get a backstage pass into the world of the city's most talented creators. The tour will take place 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 10, and from noon until 5 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 11.
Tourists can also visit Spa Esoteric and Snug on the Square to check pieces on display from participating artists. High school docents studying art have also been welcomed to participate in the tour as guides and helpers.
MAST has been adding artists, sponsors and ticketholders each year, said Leo Malboeuf, whose studio on Saint Germain Drive has been a MAST stop since its inception.
With various art clubs and the push for more public art and classes in virtually every medium available, McKinney has embraced the local arts scene and has helped foster its growth, he said.
"This is sort of an effort for McKinney to find something that has made its downtown unique," Malboeuf said. "When [artists] see things going on, it encourages them to move forward and try to get their art shown. It can be very difficult, especially when you're just beginning."
Representing a collaboration to provide a unified voice among local artists, the event is just as enjoyable for the artists as it is for their visitors, he said.
"They get a chance to visit where [we] work and see some of the process. Some people are much more interested in the process than the work," said Malboeuf, who is a master in oil painting and digital art. "It's also a chance for the artist to give a more full explanation of what they do and how they do it, because everybody works differently."
Tourists will also get to test their creative genius with hands-on projects, and will have an opportunity to take home original masterpieces donated by participating artists through a silent raffle. Even the tickets are considered keepsakes, as printmaker Lynne Hubner handmade each individual ticket with a design created especially for the event.
Hubner has been teaching children and adults from the second floor of the Art House off North Kentucky Street for roughly six years. As one of the MAST originals, the New York native said the grassroots movement has given the community a greater awareness toward the value of having active two-and three-dimensional artists right in their backyard, and whose work have reached international levels.
"I think people are rather surprised when they hear such a thing," Hubner said. "MAST is wonderful because the public actually gets to walk in and be flies on the wall to see how the magic is created."
With three local galleries supporting them, MAST has become a tradition in the art community, Hubner said. It also allows artists to step out from behind their canvas or clay, she said.
"For many artists, creating is a very solitary experience," Hubner said. "However, as with many artists in general, [MAST] has also shown me we really do have such a wide and varied collection of art here in McKinney, and it just keeps growing year in and year out. It's just phenomenal."
Eight area businesses have signed up to sponsor the event this year including Trinity Ceramic Supply, Inc., McKinney Wine Merchant, Rick's Chophouse, Sauce on the Square, Orison's Fine Art & Framing and Spoon's Café. Tickets are $7 and are available at Digging It, Garrett Art Gallery and Orison's Art and Framing in downtown McKinney. Tickets can also be purchased the day of the tour at the studios.

Ashe Services for Aging's retiring executive director, Jane Banks, has been presented with North Carolina's highest civilian award, The Order of the Long Leaf Pine.
Banks was surprised with the prestigious award Friday evening during a reception in her honor. The award was presented by Dana Tugman, chairman of the Ashe Services for Aging Board of Directors.
"This award represents the best of what you are and what you do, and always have been," said Tugman with a catch in his voice as he praised Banks for her many years of dedicated leadership for the organization. "It is an extremely remarkable duty, privilege and pleasure I have to present you with The Order of the Long Leaf Pine."
Banks also fought back tears as she accepted the award, giving the credit to her board and staff at ASA.
"I am honored to be a part of this organization. You are the ones who made me look good," she said. "Thank you so much."
Banks was also honored with a print of her choice – 'Over the Hill' by Phillip Philbeck – to be framed and hung at Ashe Assisted Living & Memory Care, a facility she fought hard to establish on the ASA campus.
The print shows a farm under a blanket of snow and lit by the glow of sunset and lighted windows. The trees sparkle with ice-covered branches. "I chose it because it reminds me of Ashe County," said Banks.
Underneath the framed print will be a plaque that reads: "With sincere gratitude to Jane Banks for visionary leadership, unrelenting perseverance and determined commitment to all endeavors of Ashe Services for Aging." It is followed by a quote from Warren Bennis that reads: "Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality."
Banks has certainly done that with the establishment of Ashe Assisted Living & Memory Care last year, her most proud accomplishment.
Ashe Assisted Living and Memory Care is an assisted living center located on the hill just above and behind the senior center and boasting the county's first secure unit specifically for Alzheimer's and dementia residents.
"Assisted living and memory care is a project I always wanted to do," Banks said when the facility opened. "I am so proud we now have a facility for people with Alzheimer's and dementia. It is not institutional looking, and there are activities the residents can do based on their abilities. Alzheimer's is becoming more prevalent and people need special care. Our staff is specially trained. It's been absolutely amazing."
After 15 years as head of the county's "model of excellence" in senior services programs, Banks will step down at the end of this month.
She began her post with Ashe Services for Aging in1997 not long after staff moved into the current facility off Ray Taylor Road in West Jefferson. She had spent 12 years on ASA's board of directors and 27 years with the Department of Social Services.
As she retires, Banks said she is looking forward to spending more time with her husband, John, their children and grandchildren.
"I'll have wonderful memories," Banks said of her time with ASA. "We've accomplished so much and helped so many people. When I look back, they are rosy memories."

First, a round of applause for the NOTY Design Committee, the incomparable twoeightnine, aka Matt Johnson. This year's ballot conjures handlebar mustaches and spittoons, petticoats and swinging-door saloons, numberless woolen uniforms and spikes-up slides. It's a ballot that Old Hoss Radbourn could love.
So roll up your Bulltron Regional No. 3 seed Joe Shortsleeve, put on a Chrotchtangle No. 6 Happy Kumar face, lather up with some Chrotchtangle No. 10 Charlie Soap, crack open a can of Chrotchtangle No. 13 Neptune Pringle III, and lay down your Sithole No. 2 John Dough on whoever you think will Bulltron No. 7 Mississippi Winn.
Click here for a printable bracket. Online voting will begin soon.

So many amazing names...this is one of the best brackets ever.

Seriously, this is an amazing bracket. All of the 2-15 match-ups are great, and tough!

Poor Orel. He's going out the first round, but has a great name anyway. There's little that will stop Yu Arafuka.
- April 5, 2011 at 7:44 PM
- shanedignan said...
Neptune Pringle III is going to stop Yu Arafuka!
The best thing about Neptune Pringle the III is that if you type "Neptune Pringle" into the White Pages, the first result is "There are 3 people named Neptune Pringle in the United States." - April 5, 2011 at 8:04 PM

Oh, thank you Jesus or Mungo or whoever, it's here.

I've got Courvoisier, Flamur, La'Peaches, and Rev. Demon for the final four. I'm oddly fond of Jihad Larry but I don't see him getting past the second round.
- April 5, 2011 at 11:24 PM
- Tim said...
Lots of phrase forming names this year. Bulltron is hella strong. Jihad Larry could make a Cinderella run. Ebenezer Noonoo and Widget Washington have a nice ring to them. The 8 year old in me loves Mercedes Bunz. But I think my early favorite to win has to be Neptune Pringle III.

i could have imagined a final of Shalom Dreampeace Compost vs. Courvoisier Winetavius Richardson. what a tough, tough, draw the committee gave to Shalom. (and a tough draw for probably the strongest two seed, as well).
however, besides my one issue with the seeding, congrats to the committee for the strongest field we've seen. - April 6, 2011 at 7:37 AM
- stw said...
With apologies for the late change, for reasons of sensitivity we've decided to take Jihad Larry out of the bracket. He was a baby who, along with other family members, was killed by his father in Chicago. The story about the murder appeared in the Chicago Tribune and other media and was nominated multiple times. But we received a couple of complaints and chose to respect those feelings. So let's all welcome Cassanova McKinzy to the Bulltron Regional.

Guys, please, let's give Dr. Taco B.M. Monster the proper respect. He has a PhD. Presumably he worked at least as hard for that title as the very Reverend Demon Sox did for his.

What's with the tease of listing "Wannah Bail" last week, but omitting this phenomenal contender from the ballot while emplacing a remarkably boring Cassanova McKinzy as the last minute substitution?

It's BACK!
I do believe Moe Lester is criminally underseeded, (never doubt the joys of simple homonyms). And Chrotchtangle seems unusually weak this year.
But congrats to the High Council! Well done!
Noonoo for President! - April 7, 2011 at 3:54 PM
- Mike said...
I get more and more excited by this every year, and every year, there are more stupendous names. Though I'm surprised at the relative weakness of the Sithole Regional (seriously, Bulltron and Dragonwagon are PACKED), I don't think there are many names that don't deserve to be in the bracket. Once again, bravo to the High Committee.

Looking forward to a Monsterville Horton IV / Taco B.M. Monster third round match-up.
Not sure how Dr. Taco Monster will be stopped at all. He's got the "bowl movement" abbreviation, he's got the PhD, and he's a Taco Monster. Triple Threat.
I see Taco Monster vs. Orel Oral in the semis. - April 8, 2011 at 10:53 AM

Tore VIKINGSTAD has a cult following for his epic performance in the 2010 Olympics. None of these guys have ever scored a hat trick at the world competition level.
That being said, he has a tough bracket. Likely going to have to take down Rev. Demon Sox, Taco B.M. Monster, Dr. Loveday Conquest, and Stonegarden Grindlife just to win the Dragonwagon Region. This is the path of Butler, but with names. If he makes it to the final four, he's going to win.
Orion Blizzard, Crusoe Gongbay, Neptune Pringle III, Tore VIKINGSTAD is my final four. Don't think too many people agree with me on the celestial awesomeness that is Orion Blizzard though. - April 8, 2011 at 1:08 PM

Client: Leading Manufacturer of Writing Instruments
Challenge: Review Business Plan and Feasibility of Consolidation
Two of the world's leading manufacturers of writing instruments were contemplating a merger and required financing for the acquisition. Critical to the company's business plan were savings derived from radical downsizing and plant consolidation. Before secured lenders would consider financing the acquisition, they required reassurance that the company's business plan was feasible.
In this case, the smaller of the two competitors was the acquirer, and the business plan called for shrinking operations while fulfilling 100 percent on-time customer shipments. To accomplish this aggressive goal, a plant twice the size of the acquirer's facility would be closed and most of the equipment would be moved and reinstalled in the smaller plant. Success or failure of the company hinged on its ability to achieve its aggressive sales projections while also capturing the substantial cost savings from the perceived synergies.
AccuVal immediately reviewed management's business plan and inspected both plants. Meetings were scheduled with managers, engineers, riggers and transportation companies to address the complexities, timing and costs of such a large move. Although the basic structure of the plan was found to be well conceived and the total cost of the move accurately estimated, AccuVal suggested many improvements and eliminated a few conditions that could have severely impacted success. Plan improvements recommended by AccuVal included changing the mix of machinery that would be moved versus sold; changing the production layout; integrating production equipment formerly operated as independent work centers; proposing an alternative inventory buildout strategy to ensure 100 percent fulfillment during the transition period; recommending water purity studies be conducted to ensure color consistency and quality control of the products manufactured; and identifying the need for additional warehouse space to accommodate the storage of the finished goods produced. The impact of these suggestions resulted in enhanced productivity, increased production capacity, on-time customer shipments, consistent color quality in products compounded by the company, efficient finished goods distribution and a higher realization from the assets sold. And, the company also received the funding needed to complete acquisition.
AccuVal enhanced a sound business plan by making it better, improved the overall efficiency of the production facility, increased production capacity, eliminated the potential for quality control problems, substantially increased ROI and provided asset-based lenders with the reassurance to proceed with the financing required. The financial impact of AccuVal's improvements was estimated in the millions.
Practical approaches to solving complex problems. The ability to accurately assess the feasibility of business plans. In-depth knowledge of manufacturing operations in over 100 industry segments. That's The AccuVal AdVantage™ at work.

Easton FD Assists with Two-Alarm Christmas Eve Fire in Stoughton
A two-alarm fire on Kenmore Road in Stoughton caused extensive damage, but there were no injuries.
Easton fire officials aided the Stoughton Fire Department with a two-alarm fire that caused extensive damage to a Stoughton home on Christmas Eve, according to Stoughton Fire Department officials. The Stoughton Fire Department received a call at 9:13 p.m. on Dec. 24 for a fire at a single-story wood-frame dwelling at 38 Kenmore Road in Stoughton, SFD Captain Don Jasmin said. A fire on the first floor extended in to the attic space, according to Jasmin. The home has extensive damage, but there were no reported injuries to any of the home's occupants or to the first responders who were on scene, Jasmin said. The Stoughton Fire Department was led by Group 4 under the command of Deputy Chief Greg Goldberg and Captain Bob O'Donnell, according …

When you think of sodium, salt probably comes to mind. Although the two terms, "sodium" and "salt" are often used interchangeably, they are different substances. The chemical name for salt, sodium chloride, reveals that sodium is in fact a component of salt. By weight, salt is composed of 40 percent sodium and 60 percent chloride. One teaspoon of salt weighs 5 grams and contains about 2,300 milligrams of sodium.
The United States provides one of the safest food supplies in the world. With the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the food, beverage and agricultural industries working together, our food supply is becoming even safer. However, despite all of these safety factors, microorganisms may still exist at levels that present risks to consumers.
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical used in the manufacture of polycarbonate plastic or epoxy resins. These resins are used in some food packaging materials, such as the lining inside metal-based food and beverage cans, coatings on metal closures / lids for glass jars, reusable plastic containers for food and beverages and tableware.
Energy drinks have been increasing in popularity, especially among teens and children. Due to several articles in the media about negative health effects experienced by people who consumed too many energy drinks, some parents and school personnel have become concerned about their growing popularity specifically among teens and children.
Aspartame is a low-calorie sweetener used in foods and beverages in more than 100 countries around the world. It is about 200 times sweeter than sugar. The calories in foods can be substantially reduced, and in some products eliminated, by using aspartame in place of sugar.
Whether the menu calls for glazed ham, hot oatmeal or blueberry pancakes, the home cook has a repertoire of sweeteners to choose from. Sugar, brown sugar, honey, molasses, and corn syrup all have a place on the pantry shelf depending on the recipe and what roles the sweetener needs to play.

Supporting Civil Rights for Atheists and the Separation of Church and State
Grant Allen
by Madalyn Murray O'Hair
February, 1991
Charles Grant Blairfindie Allen (Grant Allen) (1848-1899), the son of an Irish Protestant minister and notable scholar, was born at Alwington, near Kingston, Ontario, Canada, on 24 February 1848. He was partly educated in America and France. In England he was at King Edward's School in Birmingham, and later at Merton College in Oxford, graduating with honors in 1871. He also studied in Europe. Two years later, in 1873, he was appointed Professor of Logic at Queens College, Spanish Town, Jamaica. He also taught philosophy, ethics, Latin, and Greek at this college for Negroes. When its principal died, Allen took over and from 1874 to 1876 was the college's principal.
At one point, while on the island, he took a brief holiday to the Blue Mountains. Since there were no hotel accommodations there, he put up at a store kept by a mulatto woman. In the small back room he occupied, there were a few books which he picked up and read. One was Darwin's Origin of Species and the other was Edward Clodd's The Childhood of the World. The latter had in it the name and the address of the author. From that beginning Grant Allen developed agnostic and radical views on life, eventually becoming an ardent socialist. He went to England in 1876 and immediately looked up Mr. Clodd, with whom he remained friends for the rest of his life.
In England he then devoted himself to journalism and letters. He quickly found that there was no sale for science books in the literary market. His first venture, Physiological Aesthetics, left him £50 in debt but did call him to the attention of Herbert Spencer, the English philosopher, and Alfred Wallace, an English naturalist. They in turn secured a hearing for him with Sir Leslie Stephen. With such sponsorship he was then able to bring out a series of popular essays on science. Mr. Clodd notes that in the writing of these essays \he had few equals and . . . no superior.\ Another contemporary described him then as becoming known by his popular expositions of Darwinism, a cultured exponent of various aspects of the evolutionary idea in biology and anthropology. Some of his poetry was, in fact, supportive of evolution:
Born into life, man grows
Forth from his parents' stem,
And blends their bloods, as
Of theirs are blent in them;
So each new man strikes root into
a far foretime.
Grant was, of course, an enthusiastic disciple of both Darwin and Spencer. He also wrote on many other subjects such as practical science, evolution, sociology, literature — and religion, making his a respected figure in the group of late-Victorian agnostics. Although he had much scientific knowledge, and had a gift for expression, nonetheless profits from such works were meager.
He was loath to turn to fiction and the demands of a publisher; hence he frequently wrote under pseudonyms. At one point he wrote under the name of J. Arbuthnot Wilson. His first three-volume novel, Philistia, was written under the nom de plume Cecil Power. His first sensational novel was The Devil's Die written in 1888. Generally, his novels were potboilers.
Grant Allen traveled frequently and his Guide Book work paid him handsomely, giving him the monetary support and the time he needed to follow his primary intellectual inclinations. His Evolution of the Idea of God was characterized by the English Freethinker magazine as being capable, painstaking, honest, and really thorough. Even on the point as to whether Jesus Christ ever existed as a real person, Mr. Allen expressed sincere doubts; and it takes some courage to do that.
Charles A. Watts, a British freethought publisher, at this time was putting out the Agnostic Annual, which became sixty-four pages long in 1884. Watts had persons such as T. H. Huxley, Leslie Stephen, W. E. H. Lecky, H. T. Buckle, Herbert Spencer, J. G. Frazer, Ernst Haeckel, Winwood Reade, Ludwig Blichner, Grant Allen, and Edward Carpenter writing for him.
Additionally, in the 1890s Victorian respectability and morality were under attack from such people as Havelock Ellis, George Bernard Shaw, Thomas Hardy, Walt Whitman, Henrik Ibsen, Edward Carpenter, and Grant Allen, although — generally — freethought leaders tried to steer a moderate course.
There was in England, at this time, a John Gott group of freethinker/socialists, explained in one sentence by a free-thought historian: \The libertarian anarchy of Grant Allen sums up much of the philosophy behind Gott's group.\ There was much ferment at the time over birth control and liberalization of sexual standards.
In 1895 Allen's book The Woman Who Did was published by John Lane in London and by Roberts Bros. in Boston. As a point of interest, a copy of the book was recently purchased for the Charles E. Stevens American Atheist Library and Archives from a rare book dealer in Baltimore, Maryland, who specializes in nineteenth-century fine and decorative arts, fine press and illustrated books. The cover is indeed handsome, but the bookseller had no idea what the book was. Allen, however, wanted another distinction for his book — to make a point — and he prefaced his work with a curious dedication:
Written at Perugia [Italy], Spring 1893, for the first time in my life wholly and solely to satisfy my own taste and my own conscience.
In the book Allen espoused, through the life of the heroine, the concept of free love without defining it as such — that is, mutually responsible decisions made by consenting adults: responsibility to each other, to their children, and to the race, but not to the coercive marital laws of the states. The book was successful since it touched on succes de scandale and after its publication, was followed by a number of cheap imitations. The publisher of his other works, Watts, wanted to be more conventional — divorce was as far as he would go. Even G. W. Foote defended marriage against this novel. Allen's work was an advocacy of free love, and \secularism\ had to be secure from it. Foote wrote in the 3 March 1895 Freethinker:
We are not of those who use the phrase \free love\ as a reproach, for love was never anything else but free. It cannot be commanded. It cannot be had to order. It is spontaneous, like all our affections. Nevertheless, the freedom, not of feeling, but of action, which Mr. Grant Allen pleads for, runs dangerously near to promiscuity; or at least to an instability that is almost as bad.
Fearful of the consequences of free love, the Legitimation League was founded in 1893 to campaign for legal rights for illegitimate children. Almost immediately a prosecution of the secretary of the League, George Bedborough, was brought before the court for selling a copy of Sexual Inversion by Havelock Ellis. Since it was a promising test case, a Free Press Defence Committee was formed, the members of which included Grant Allen, G. W. Foote, George Holyoake, George Bernard Shaw, Edward Carpenter, and J. M. Robertson. The arrest of George Bedborough rallied \all sorts of radicals, socialists, freethinkers and progressive individuals.\ There were many arrests during this period for the printing of \obscene\ birth-control literature and for blasphemy, so that the bravery of Grant Allen was appreciated.
In fact, all approved when Allen, in the March 1894 Fortnightly Review, in an article entitled \The New Hedonism\ attacking Christian asceticism and self-sacrifice, wrote:
It is our duty to think as far as we can think; to get rid of all dogmas, preconceptions and prejudices; to make sure we are not tied by false fears or vague terms; to examine all faiths, all beliefs, all fancies, all shibboleths, political, religious, social, moral. . . . We should each of us arrive at a consistent theory of the universe for ourselves, and of our own place in it.
Allen was adamant in support of Herbert Spencer's theory on the origin of religion:
I believe I have made it tolerably clear that the vast mass of existing gods or divine persons, when we come to analyze them, do actually turn out to be dead and deified human beings. . . . I believe that corpse worship is the protoplasm of religion.
Other then-modern thinkers did not agree, as Alfred Benn wrote:
So far, however, as Spencer's theory goes, . . . [i]t has not, to my knowledge, received the adhesion of any independent thinker except the lamented Mr. Grant Allen.
Allen died at his home on Hindhead, Haslemere, on 24 October 1899, one of the English authors and philosophers of the period who exerted an influence on American readers: Leslie Stephen, George Eliot, George Lewes, Winwood Reade, and Samuel Butler.

Image gallery (1) |
Contents |
History Edit
A former pro-bender, Toza left the sport sometime before Mako and Bolin started competing and began managing a pro-bending gym. One day, he discovered Mako fighting on the streets and invited the two siblings to live in a room in the attic of the arena and work odd jobs to pay rent, which allowed them to focus on pro-bending.[2]
When Avatar Korra sneaked into the Pro-bending Arena to watch a game, she wandered into a training area where Toza confronted her, demanding to know what she was doing in his gym. Accusing her of having sneaked in without paying, he threatened to turn her over to security and have her thrown out of the arena. Bolin, however, came to Korra's rescue and said that she was with him; Toza dismissed the case, stating that he had work to do.[1]
Toza later swept the floor in his gym while Bolin and Mako were practicing and reading up on Korra's participation in Councilman Tarrlok's task force.[3]
Personality Edit
At first, Toza appeared to be a grumpy old man, as evidenced when he threatened to take Korra to security at a pro-bending match, but he actually possesses a significant amount of compassion. This is demonstrated by the fact that he allowed both Mako and Bolin to stay in the attic of the Pro-bending Arena in exchange for doing odd jobs.

- Some national highlights are included below:
- Australia had its fifth warmest April monthly maximum temperature on record since national records began in 1900, at 2.95°F (1.64°C) above the 1961–1990 average. At the state level, Western Australia reported its third highest monthly maximum temperature and fifth highest monthly minimum temperature.
- The average April temperature across the United Kingdom was 2.0°F (1.1°C) below the 1981–2010 average, tying with 2012 as the coolest April since 1989.
- The average April temperature across South Korea was 3.4°F (1.9°C) below the 1981–2010 average, marking the third coldest April since national records began in 1973. The average maximum temperature was also third lowest, while the average minimum temperature was second lowest on record.
- For the ocean, the April global sea surface temperature was 0.79°F (0.44°C), above the 20th century average of 60.9°F (16.0°C), tying with 2001 and 2009 as the seventh warmest for April on record. The margin of error is ±0.07°F (0.04°C).
- Neither El Niño nor La Niña conditions were present across the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean during April, with sea surface temperatures below average in the far eastern equatorial Pacific. According to NOAA's Climate Prediction Center, neutral conditions continue to be favored over the next few months.
Precipitation highlights: April
- As is typical, monthly precipitation varied greatly across the globe during April. Record wetness was observed over part of the north central United States, eastern Burkina Faso, and part of eastern Russia. Record dryness was scattered across several locales around the globe, including northern Chile, central Colombia, southeastern Egypt, and part of northern Sudan.
- Following the declaration of drought conditions in March across much of New Zealand, more than double average April rainfall was recorded in the upper South Island and Tauranga. Motueka received 267 percent of its average April rainfall, with almost half of this occurring in a single day.
Polar ice highlights: April and Seasonal
- According to data from the Rutgers Global Snow Lab, the Northern Hemisphere snow cover extent for April was the ninth largest in the 47-year period of record and the largest since 1996. The April snow cover extent was 12.4 million square miles, 0.8 million square miles above the 1981–2010 average of 11.6 million square miles. Above-average snow cover was present for both Eurasia and North America, which had their 19th and 3rd largest April snow cover extents on record, respectively.
- According to data from the National Snow and Ice Data Center, the average April Arctic sea ice extent was 5.55 million square miles, approximately 150,000 square miles (2.6 percent) below the 1981–2010 average of 5.70 million square miles, resulting in the seventh smallest monthly April extent on record.
- Antarctic sea ice extent was 3.12 million square miles, 260,000 square miles (9.1 percent) above the 1981–2010 average of 2.86 million square miles. This marked the fifth largest April Antarctic sea ice extent on record.
Global temperature highlights: Year-to-date
- The first four months of 2013 (January–April) tied with 2009 as the eighth warmest such period on record, with a combined global land and ocean average surface temperature of 1.01°F (0.56°C) above the 20th century average of 54.8°F (12.6°C). The margin of error is ±0.18°F (0.10°C).
- The January–April worldwide land surface temperature was 1.71°F (0.95°C) above the 20th century average, making it the 10th warmest such period on record. The margin of error is ±0.38°F (0.21°C).
- The global ocean surface temperature for the year-to-date was 0.76°F (0.42°C) above average, making it the eighth warmest such period on record. The margin of error is ±0.09°F (0.05°C).
