Annals of cheap: Fukushima peaches
On Thursday, the government lifted the ban on beef shipments for farmers and ranchers in the Tohoku region. That means cattle can be shipped, but the meat they produce will still have to be inspected for radioactive materials. Ranchers in Fukushima, however, want more. They want the government to buy up the beef that went to market before the ban but was not sold.
Farmers in Fukushima, where the stricken nuclear reactor is located, may attempt similar countermeasures for other produce, which is not selling because the public is afraid it might be contaminated. Of course, the very fact that Fukushima fruits and vegetables are in stores proves that those fruits and vegetables have passed inspection and are thus deemed safe according to government standards, but there's always fuhyo higai (hearsay damage), which can be as deadly to commerce as any trace of cesium. If sales of certain produce are banned, then the farmers can ask for compensation from the government or Tokyo Electric Power Co., but if consumers just refuse to buy the produce because they're afraid to eat it, there's no recourse except to throw the produce away.
As cynical as it may sound, there is a silver lining to this situation, and that's lower prices. In particular, the prices of peaches from Fukushima are lower than they've ever been, and if you've ever tasted a peach from the prefecture, you'll understand what good news that is.

Diocese of Canterbury
The Archbishop of Canterbury has many national and international responsibilities, but historically the central role, and the source of the Archbishop's authority, is as Bishop of the Diocese of Canterbury. The Archbishop's ministry as a bishop is rooted in the city of Canterbury as 'pastor of the cathedral and metropolitical church of Christ Canterbury' from which he oversees the life and witness of a diocese of 270 parishes: most of the county of Kent.
The See of Canterbury — that is, the cathedral, parishes and other communities and institutions that make up the Diocese — is the 'mother' church (diocese) of the Church of England. As its bishop the Archbishop is therefore the 'metropolitan' bishop of the whole of the ecclesiastical 'province' of Canterbury: that is, the 30 diocesan sees of southern England and the Diocese in Europe, in relation to which he has a permanent authority of jurisdiction. There are many legal and pastoral responsibilities wrapped up in this role (and it is paralleled by a similar relationship between the Diocese and Archbishop of York and the other 12 dioceses of northern England).
The Archbishop of Canterbury is supported in his diocesan ministry by the Bishop of Dover, a supplementary or 'suffragan' bishop who acts as the Archbishop's delegate for the day to day running of diocesan affairs. Two further supplementary bishops, the Bishops of Richborough and Ebbsfleet, also work on the Archbishop's behalf to care for those parishes across the Province of Canterbury that do not accept the ministry of women priests.
The Archbishop of Canterbury's most focused periods of activity in the diocese occur at Christmas, Easter, and the Ordinations of deacons and priests for the Diocese.
The Cathedral
The Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Christ at Canterbury (to give it its full title) was founded by St Augustine and has undergone numerous modifications in the centuries since.
As well as being the historic seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury and 'mother church' of the Diocese of Canterbury, it is also considered to be 'mother church' to the global Anglican Communion. Since the 12th century, following the murder of Archbishop St. Thomas Becket, the Cathedral has attracted pilgrims from across the globe. A central part of a World Heritage Site, the Cathedral remains a building of immense spiritual and historic significance. In 2006 an appeal was launched to raise the £50 million necessary to help fund much-needed repairs to the structure of this ancient building.
The Old Palace
The Old Palace at Canterbury, within the precincts of the Cathedral, is the main residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury and his family when in Canterbury.
Its history dates from the 11th century and it was home to many Archbishops until the Palace and the Estates were taken over by Parliament in 1647, following the English Civil War.
Afterwards it remained unoccupied until the end of the 19th century, when Archbishop Frederick Temple opted to live there.
It has undergone many modifications and adjustments over the years, most recently reopening again in 2006 after a two -year process of much needed refurbishment.

Bomb found in Blaine County mailbox
The Twin Falls Bomb Squad has neutralized an improvised explosive device found in a mailbox on Hyndeman View Drive between Ketchum and Hailey. No one was injured.
The Blaine County Sheriff's Office was called to the scene by a caretaker at an East Fork residence at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.The Twin Falls Bomb Squad arrived on the scene around 8 p.m.
According to the sheriff's office, the squad neutralized the device, which contained projectiles capable of increasing the destructive force of an explosion.The East Fork Road was closed for about an hour until 9 p.m.
Sheriff Gene D. Ramsey said he has contacted federal authorities for assistance in the investigation.
"Without jeopardizing the investigation, we want the public to know that this was not a pressure style cooking device," said Ramsey, alluding to the explosions at the Boston Marathon on April 15.
Ramsey said the investigation would be a priority until those responsible are identified and apprehended.There are no suspects at this time.
Anyone who may have noticed any suspicious activity to call 911 immediately. Anyone with information should contact the Blaine County Sheriff's Office at (208) 788-5555. Confidential tips may be reported through TIP 411 at www.blainsheriff.com or by texting BCSOTIP to 847411 (TIP 411).

SAN FRANCISCO California schools are turning away middle and high school students who have not received the whooping-cough vaccine as required under a law passed last year after a historic spike in cases of the potentially fatal disease.
The law passed in October 2010 initially required all students entering grades seven through 12 to get vaccinated by the start of the 2011-2012 school year. Lawmakers passed a 30-day extension this summer as districts worried many students wouldnt meet the deadline.
Under California law, students also can still attend if their parents file a form saying they oppose vaccines.
No statewide estimates of the number of students turned away is available because districts are not required to report their final vaccination tally until December, state education officials said.
But anecdotal reports from individual districts indicate the percentage of students meeting the requirement varied widely.
Weve done a tremendous amount of outreach with the schools trying to let them know, said Linda Davis-Alldritt, the school nurse consultant for the education department.
Davis-Alldritt said she had heard from districts reporting anywhere from half to nearly all students getting the vaccination.
On Sept. 15, San Francisco Unified School District began sending home students who arrived without proof of vaccination or a parental personal belief exemption.
District spokeswoman Heidi Anderson said the district estimates about 2,000 students, or 10 percent of the student body, are still unvaccinated. The district held a free vaccination clinic at its offices Thursday and was providing shots at individual schools.
District officials were optimistic most students would be able to return to class soon.
Were getting down to it, Anderson said.
The Sacramento Bee reported that some Northern California districts were defying the law by allowing unvaccinated students to come to school. Schools in California lose money for each absence.
We will not withhold education from our students, Folsom Cordova Superintendent Debbie Bettencourt said.
At the Natomas Unified School District, Interim Superintendent Walt Hanline told the newspaper that about 1,000 students had not complied.
Instead of being sent home, those students were receiving separate instruction in the gym.
State education officials said allowing unvaccinated students on school premises at all broke state law, but that the education department had no power to sanction defiant districts.
Allowing unvaccinated students to come to school put the students themselves and others exempted from the vaccine for medical or personal reasons at risk, Davis-Alldritt said.
The legislation is pretty clear they have to be excluded. And excluding doesnt mean housing them in the gym, she said.

A loss prevention officer at a local Kmart told a woman caught shoplifting that she wouldn't go to jail if she performed sex acts in the store's bathroom, according to court documents obtained by News4.
The 23-year-old woman was accused of shoplifting at a Springfield, Va., Kmart on June 8. The store's security guard then escorted her to the back of the store and told her that what she had done was a felony.
The guard has been identified as 29-year-old Tabbasum Gilani of Lorton, Va.
He allegedly told her she would go to jail unless she gave him "some sort of sexual favor."
A search warrant obtained by News4's David Culver states the woman gave in.
Shortly after, Fairfax County Police showed up to take her into custody for the alleged shoplifting, at which point she told police what happened.
She was then taken to a local hospital.
At the same time, Gilani was texting and calling the woman, offering to "get the charges dropped" and "threatening to make sure she goes to jail if she didn't answer his calls/messages," according to the warrant. The woman ignored the messages.
Last Monday, police obtained the search warrant for Gilani's iPhone and arrested him at his home on abduction and forcible sodomy charges.
He was released on $20,000 bond this weekend and is due back in court Aug. 26.
Officials with Kmart Headquarters have not returned News4's calls.

SAN FRANCISCO - Dell Inc.'s slump deepened in its latest quarter as the growing popularity of smartphones and tablets undercut sales of its desktop and laptop computers.
The fiscal second-quarter results announced Tuesday served as the latest reminder of the challenges facing Dell and other personal computer makers as they scramble to adapt to the technological upheaval unleashed by Apple Inc.'s line of sleek devices such as the iPhone and iPad.
The shift to more mobile computing has established Apple as the most valuable company in U.S. history, while businesses that revolved around selling traditional PCs.
Dell Inc., the second largest U.S. maker of personal computers, is trying to adjust by expanding into software, technology consulting, data storage and computer servers - all of which produce higher profit margins than selling PCs and printers.
"We're transforming our business, not for a quarter or a fiscal year, but to deliver differentiated customer value for the long term," Michael Dell, the company's CEO and founder, said in a statement Tuesday. "We're clear on our strategy and we're building a leading portfolio of solutions to help our customers achieve their goals."
As part of its makeover, Dell on Tuesday announced a new leader for its division that oversees many of its corporate products, including computer networking and data storage. Marius Haas is replacing Brad Anderson as president of Dell's enterprise solutions. Haas most recently worked at the investment firm Kohlberg, Kravis, Roberts & Co. after previous stints at Dell rival Hewlett-Packard Co. and Intel Corp.
"We are going to make what is a great business today an even larger and more successful business," Dell said of his plans for enterprise solutions during a Tuesday conference call with analysts.
Even if Dell's strategy is successful, the company's evolution will take time. That reality has caused Dell's stock to fall this year while the overall market has been climbing.
In a sign of further weakness ahead, Dell lowered its earnings target by 20 percent for its fiscal year ending in January. Dell trimmed its full-year guidance, even though its adjusted earnings for the just-completed quarter topped analyst projections.
The company, which is based in Round Rock, Texas, tied it its bleaker forecast to "the uncertain economic environment, competitive dynamics and soft consumer business."
Dell shares shed 55 cents, or 4.5 percent, to $11.79 in Tuesday's extended trading following the release of the earnings report.
In its latest quarter ending in July, Dell earned $732 million, or 42 cents per share. That represented an 18 percent decline from net income of $890 million, or 48 cents per share, at the same time last year.
If not for costs unrelated to its ongoing business, Dell said it would have earned 50 cents per share. On that basis, Dell topped the average estimate of 45 cents per share among analysts surveyed by FactSet.
Revenue for the period fell 8 percent from last year to $14.5 billion. That was nearly $200 million below analyst forecasts.
The weakest area was in Dell's mobility division, where revenue plunged 19 percent from last year. Sales of desktop PCs decreased 9 percent from last year. Combined, revenue from desktop and laptops fell 14 percent from last year, said Brian Gladden, Dell's chief financial officer.
"The revenue deterioration we saw during the quarter was clearly above anything we expected," Gladden told analysts during the conference call.
Dell is hoping the upcoming release of Windows 8, a radical makeover of Microsoft Corp.'s PC operating system, will compel more people to buy devices that aren't made by Apple. But Windows 8 won't hit the market until Oct. 26, and many corporate customers probably will wait until next year before switching over to the new system.
That means Windows 8 won't provide Dell much help during the final half the current fiscal year.
Dell now expects its adjusted earnings for the full fiscal year to come in at $1.70 per share, down from its previous forecast of $2.13 per share. Revenue in the current quarter ending in October is expected be 2 percent to 5 percent below the figure posted in the just-completed quarter. That implies Dell's fiscal third-quarter revenue could be down by as much as $1.6 billion, or 10 percent, from the same time last year.
Dell's lackluster performance is expected to be mirrored by HP Wednesday when the world's largest PC maker is scheduled to release its quarterly results. HP already has warned its quarterly loss will approach $9 billion because of an accounting charge to reflect the diminished value of a past acquisition.

Samsung is the biggest producer of flash memory in the world—by a fair margin. The latest numbers from IHS iSuppli peg Samsung's share of the NAND market at over 42 percent, well ahead of Toshiba's at 25 percent and Micron's at 21 percent. Given those figures, it's no surprise Samsung is also one of the biggest players in the SSD business.
What may surprise you is just how long Samsung has been one of the top dogs in that realm. Everyone's familiar with the 830 Series, which debuted a little more than a year ago and quickly became one of the most desired SSDs among PC enthusiasts. The 830 Series was a follow-up to the 470 Series, which didn't make as big of a splash in hobbyist circles. Samsung had other SSDs before that, but I bet you can't name any of them.
I'm sure you can list a few major PC makers, though. Samsung claims it's been the number-one supplier of SSDs to the big-name PC brands since 2006, a full two years before Intel's first SSD even hit the market.
With the PC establishment seemingly sewn up, Samsung has increasingly targeted customers who buy drives one at a time rather than in lots of a thousand. The size of this market is growing as SSDs become more affordable for upgraders and system builders. Right now, the sweet spot is around $200, where there are numerous drives in the 240-256GB range. One of those options is Samsung's next-generation 840 Series SSD.
While the name suggests this drive is a successor to the 830 Series, the new model isn't quite a direct heir. Yes, the controller has been updated and the NAND is built using a smaller fabrication process. However, Samsung has traded the 830 Series' MLC flash for TLC chips that squeeze an extra bit into each cell. This NAND costs less per gigabyte, which is probably why the 840 Series 250GB rings in at just $180 right now. The implications of that extra bit go beyond pricing, affecting not only the drive's performance, but also its longevity. Let's take a closer look.
The skinny on TLC
TLC NAND is the defining characteristic of the Samsung 840 Series. Thankfully, I can assure you it has nothing to do with the television network responsible for spawning Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. TLC stands for "triple-level cell" and describes the number of bits (three) stored in each flash cell. The MLC NAND commonly found in consumer-grade SSDs packs two bits per cell, while the SLC flash reserved for uber-expensive server drives has only one bit.
More bits per cell translate to more gigabytes per die, which in turn means more gigabytes per wafer. MLC doubles the storage capacity of SLC, and TLC adds 50 percent on top of that. By adding bits, the capacity of each wafer can be increased without shrinking the fabrication process.
TLC NAND isn't a new technology; flash makers have been cranking out it for years. The triple-stuffed NAND has mostly been confined to devices like thumb drives because its endurance and performance haven't measured up to MLC NAND. For a sense of why that is, it helps to have an understanding of how data is stored in flash memory. Behold my crudely drawn flash cell diagram:
Each flash cell consists of insulated control and floating gates situated above a silicon substrate. If enough voltage is applied to the control gate, electrons will rise up from the substrate and into the floating gate through a process called tunneling. When the voltage to the control gate is cut, the oxide insulator traps the migratory electrons in the floating gate. The presence of those electrons creates a negative charge that changes the threshold voltage required to activate the cell, effectively writing data to it. Applying a sufficiently strong negative charge to the substrate reverses the process, causing electrons in the floating gate to return to the substrate. This mass exodus erases the cell and returns the threshold voltage to its lowest state.
Because there's some variation in the characteristics of individual cells, any data that's written needs to be read for verification. Data is read by asserting a voltage at the control gate and checking for current flow between the source and the drain. Current will flow if the control voltage is higher than the threshold voltage of the cell.
Reading and writing SLC NAND is fairly quick because there are only two values to consider: 0 and 1. Additional control voltages must be applied to account for the 00, 01, 10, and 11 values supported by MLC NAND, and that takes more time. The process is even longer with TLC flash, which can store eight different values between 000 and 111, requiring more control-voltage levels.
Dealing with TLC flash becomes even more challenging as the NAND starts to wear out. Electrons tunneling through the oxide layer can break down the bonds in the insulator and become trapped. The negative charge created by these stranded electrons raises the minimum threshold voltage required to activate the cell, narrowing the voltage range that can be used for programming. The more values that are crammed within that shrinking voltage range, the more difficult it is to distinguish between them. That's why TLC NAND typically tolerates fewer write-erase cycles than MLC flash, which is itself less durable than SLC NAND. Eventually, the tunneling oxide degrades to the point where the cell is no longer viable and has to be retired.
Transitioning to finer fabrication nodes reduces NAND longevity even further because the layer of tunneling oxide gets thinner as the cell geometry shrinks. That detail is particularly important for the Samsung 840 Series, whose TLC chips are fabbed on a next-gen 21-nm process. The 830 Series uses 27-nm NAND.
Should you be concerned? Maybe. Unlike some SSD makers, Samsung doesn't quote endurance ratings on its website or in the official Reviewer's Guide attached to the 840 Series. We've asked the firm on multiple occasions to characterize the drive's endurance, in terms of either the number of write-erase cycles the NAND can survive or the total volume of writes the drive can withstand as a whole, and we're still waiting for a response.
To its credit, Samsung covers the 840 Series with the same three-year warranty that applies to the 830 Series. The firm also says the NAND rolling off its production lines is sorted, and that only the highest quality chips are used in its SSDs. We've already seen Intel cherry pick high-endurance MLC NAND for enterprise-oriented drives that would have otherwise used SLC memory. Samsung appears to be doing something similar with TLC memory and consumer SSDs. Given how popular MLC-based offerings have become with the server crowd, we're not inclined to write off the 840 Series due solely to its use of TLC NAND.

Since the establishment of the Northern Ireland Executive, systems for charging for
water and sewerage services supplied to domestic consumers and for agricultural
irrigation and other commercial purposes, have been prepared but not yet implemented. In
the Republic of Ireland, domestic consumers have also been receiving their water without
direct out-of-pocket payment, but rumours have been going the rounds that the Dublin
government is deliberating on bringing in charges to help in financing the latest IMF
requirements on servicing its loans to the Republic.

With a series of electoral contests due to be held from May 2014 through to the second half of 2015, this Issue argues strongly for LVT - the measure which is so much more than an alternative means of raising the public revenue, being also the key policy without which society's economic problems have no prospect of just and permanent resolution.

The particular issue of planning and environmental management raised by this winter's floods is not a specific matter of revenue collection, yet the techniques employed for the assessment of land/site/location values can be readily adapted equitably to accommodate flood control situations. Another subject on which the Land Value Taxation Campaign does not take a formal stance is the constitution. Scotland is being given the opportunity to vote for or against continued membership of the United Kingdom. What, though, does independence mean? It certainly does nothing to free Scots from landlordism. Scots will still pay the same landlord what amounts to a ransom for a little space in what they are to call their homeland, and Scottish businesses must do likewise.
A private member's bill to do no more than seek to commission a programme of research into LVT as the new source of local government revenue in England, was introduced in 2012, but was consistently unfortunate enough never to get its second reading debate in the House of Commons. Bad luck, or was it conveniently sidelined by, or at least with the connivance of, the top brass in the main parties, so that it died the death within the parliamentary session?
Houses cannot be built without land. Broadly speaking, the same sort of house would cost the same whether built in an urban 'hot spot' or in one of the remoter rural parishes. The cost of land makes the difference. One might expect Government to do everything possible to see land costs held down in the 'hot spot' areas, yet the evidence supports the view that policies are having exactly the opposite effects. The Opposition appears not to have noticed this. Is this the same connivance of the big parties' top brass that, intentionally or otherwise, will not even look at the role of land in the economy?

Paul Joseph Watson
September 6, 2010
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. The establishment media smear machine is officially dead and buried. Rand Paul has extended his lead over Democratic opponent Jack Conway to a massive 15 points, proving that when the distrusted and discredited corporate media attacks anyone now, it actually increases their popularity.
"Rand Paul, a tea party-backed Republican running for a U.S. Senate seat in Kentucky, is leading his Democratic rival Jack Conway by 15 points, according to a new poll by SurveyUSA," reports the Wall Street Journal.
The article points out that polls conducted in August showed Paul ahead by a region in between 5 and 10 points, indicating that he has almost doubled his lead since the latest pathetic attempt by the establishment media to smear the Kentucky candidate.
In early August, the corporate media launched a hoax hit piece against Paul, claiming that he had kidnapped and force drugged a woman in college, even after the anonymous woman retracted her story and admitted that the episode was a harmless college prank that she had willingly participated in and that 'the whole thing had been blown out of proportion' by the media.
Even after the woman had recanted, the Washington Post persisted in attributing importance to the fact that Paul had jokingly told his friend to "worship the Aqua Buddha" nearly 30 years ago.
The farce represented a culmination of increasingly ridiculous attempts to discredit the Kentucky primary winner on behalf of the corporate media, after Paul was subjected to at least one smear attack per month since his victory over establishment Republican Trey Grayson back in May.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:49}
Despite being constantly smeared as an extremist, a racist and someone who is unfit for office, Paul's early slim lead over Conway has consistently grown after each hit piece, proving that the establishment media is so distrusted, despised and discredited, that when they attack someone, it actually helps to increase their popularity amongst the American people.
At one stage, neo-cons and neo-libs alike claimed that Paul's nuanced philosophical view on one of the ten titles of the Civil Rights Act, which the media twisted to the point where Paul became a de facto Klan member, had led to the 'collapse of his political career'.
Media hacks who consider themselves to be part of the establishment still have the arrogance to think that they can dictate the nature of reality with the stroke of a pen or the tapping of a keyboard. The fact that Paul has stretched his lead over Conway despite coming under savage attack from every angle proves that these individuals are still living under the delusion of believing the mainstream press still holds gravitas.
A recent Gallup poll showed that just 25 per cent of Americans have a "great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in newspapers or television news. That figure has dropped by 10 per cent since 2003.
The failure of the establishment to tear down a candidate who promised the American people that he would help "take back our country" from the Washington elite is a damning indictment of how much power to manipulate people the system has lost over the last decade.
The primary tool that the establishment has used to destroy anyone who threatens their power monopoly in the past, corporate media demonization, smear campaigns, and dirty tricks, has been blunted beyond repair.
Fresh food that lasts from eFoods Direct (Ad)
With trust in mainstream media collapsing year after year, the ground is fertile for more and more anti-establishment candidates to replicate Paul's success and take back Washington one step at a time.
Paul Joseph Watson is the editor and writer for Prison Planet.com. He is the author of Order Out Of Chaos. Watson is also a fill-in host for The Alex Jones Show. Watson has been interviewed by many publications and radio shows, including Vanity Fair and Coast to Coast AM, America's most listened to late night talk show.

Another age strategy to instruct individuals is to make a decent utilization of recordings. It is likewise the least demanding and most fascinating approach to bestow instruction. Using energized recordings is getting more famous. These recordings accompany exact clarification and superbly effectively educate the youngsters and adults alike. These are funny to the point that you will never get exhausted while viewing these recordings. The best piece of them is they finely exemplify points of interest into a couple of moment introduction.
More often than not, these recordings epitomize astounding sound video quality and make basic introduction of the most troublesome pieces.
Making Explainer Animation Videos – Not an Easy Work
A decent liveliness video creator is high on request at both the instructive establishments and corporate houses. It is not an easy breezy to make this kind of video. In the event that introduction is extensive and no fresh substance is there, the motivation behind influencing a video to will never succeed. It is definitely not a simple to-accomplish objective thus mastery is exceptionally esteemed in such manner. Numerous experts uncover excessively numerous points of interest however neglect to clarify the most critical snippets of data. That leaves the gatherings of people exhausted and disappointed.
Nature of Good Animation Making Professionals
Master experts have both inventive firecracker and specialized expertise. The mix of these two qualities enables the specialists to make recordings that are connecting with and educational also. They utilize important pictures and easy to-appreciate substance to create recordings. The experts additionally guarantee that the recordings are not extensive ones as no one enjoys viewing a video running for quite a long time. Web surfers lean toward short and engaging recordings to spare their vitality and time as persistence has turned into the rarest quality nowadays.
More extensive Application of Animation Videos
Explainer recordings are broadly utilized as a part of both instruction division and corporate circuit. In this age when innovation is the incomparable power, this sort of video has turned into a phenomenal model of instructing individuals. These are intriguing to watch and effortlessly snatch consideration of the groups of onlookers. It is an inventive and compelling approach to express thoughts, systems and business arranging. The advertising specialists likewise utilize such recordings to advance the items. It is a varying media publicizing in an alternate bundle and has demonstrated enormously effective.
Such recordings are broadly utilized as a part of instructive field. Amusing pictures in energized recordings premium the youngsters and make the way toward learning less demanding for them. A photo is more intriguing than a huge number of words. Larger part of individuals are not inspired by experiencing the composed substance but rather adore watching recordings.
Accomplishment of these recordings to fill needs depends much on how hip they are. The offbeat recordings with superlative varying media quality turn into an immense hit with the intended interest groups. It is critical to recall that explainer movement recordings will enable you to pull swarm just on the off chance that they look proficient. For that reason, significance of procuring a specialist can't be accentuated more. Just the accomplished specialists can make provocative recordings by investigating their innovativeness. On the off chance that you hand the assignment of making explainer recordings to them, a superbly completed undertaking is an assurance.

2010 Goodguys Southwestern Nationals Scottsdale - Hot In Scottsdale
Turning up the heat at the Goodguys Southwestern Nationals
The 2010 Goodguys car show season ended right where it began. Scottsdale, just east of Phoenix, was the site of the season-opening Spring Nationals in March and the big finale Southwest Nationals in November.
The weekend before Thanksgiving provides perfect hot rod weather in the middle of Arizona. With a climate that caters to year-round cruising (except when it's too hot), it's no surprise that Scottsdale boasts such a high number of hot rodders. Some of them are year-round residents and some are snowbirds migrating from chilly places to spend the winter someplace hot. Either way, the Southwest Nationals is their chance to keep driving their cars while hot rodders in the rest of the country are getting ready for hibernation. Whatever the weather's like where you live, it's hot in Scottsdale, and the hottest spot of all is WestWorld, where 2,000 hot rods, customs, trucks, and muscle cars get together for three days of fun.
Look carefully at these photos and you'll notice that some cars are parked on grass and some are parked on pavement. The pavement is the upper area of the grounds, adjacent to the 100,000-square-foot Multipurpose Tent. Inside the Tent, an uncountable number of aftermarket manufacturer and vendor booths display their products. Outside the tent, Goodguys sets up its corrals for various categories (Ya Gotta Drive em and Homebuilt Heaven being two of our favorites) on Saturday and its winners' circles on Sunday. The grass is the Polo Field, a 19-acre basin packed, for three days anyway, with more vehicles and more vendors. Up the hill on the far side of the Polo Field, buyers and sellers get together at the swap meet and Cars 4 Sale corral.
By the time you read this article, it'll be time to head back to Scottsdale. The 2011 Goodguys season begins as soon as the cars start rolling into WestWorld for the Spring Nationals, held March 11-13. There may still be snow on the ground where you live, but it's going to be hot in Scottsdale.

Street Rodder Magazine's Best Ford in a Ford Presented by Ford Racing
Charley Ogden,
Scottsdale, AZ
'40 Ford Sedan Delivery
Charley Ogden is a Scottsdale native and a year-round hot rodder, as well as the proud owner of this deep blue, Blue Oval delivery, the most recent addition to Street Rodder and Ford Racing's Best Ford in a Ford list, which honors guys, like Ogden, who opt to run a late-model Ford engine in their Ford street rod.
Ogden didn't have to drive far to get to the Southwest Nats, but told us that his '40 sedan delivery was built to drive. That's not just talk in the 23 years he's owned it, he has driven the Ford more than 100,000 miles. Ogden's delivery features a Mustang II front suspension, parallel leafs, and Chassis Engineering components underneath to drop the delivery to ground level. Numerous body modifications include rounded door corners, shaved brightwork and hardware, and hidden hinges on the rear delivery door. Orange pinstriping along the beltline matches the firewall, and the steelies. In the summer of 2010, he decided to pump some new life into the faithful and much-driven delivery with a new 306ci crate motor from Ford Racing, tied to a Ford C4 transmission.
He's proud to show it at events around the West, but for Charley, the real fun is firing it up and hitting the road. He said he loves driving the deliverypassing cars and trucks on his way to wherever he feels like going.

GBP-USD dropped to a two-day low of 1.6402, nearly 80 pips down on the London session peak, while EUR-GBP spiked over 30 pips to a two-day peak of 0.8292. U.K. data included production figures that unexpectedly stagnated in November, construction output that fell by the biggest margin in 17 months (of 4%), and the BRC retail sales figure for December that came in shy of expectations. The data joined the already released December PMI surveys to collectively suggest that the U.K. economy isn't sustaining growth momentum as well has had been thought.
EUR-USD has recovered to levels around the 1.36 handle after making a six-week low of 1.3548 yesterday following solid U.S. data and dovish ECB press conference. EUR-JPY and EUR-GBP have seen a similar price action. Market activity has been low ahead of today's U.S.. payrolls report. We remain bigger-picture bearish on EUR-USD as we have a dollar bullish view in light of a run of mostly firm U.S. data and in the wake of the Fed's QE tapering decision. There is also the possibility that the ECB might announce fresh stimulus in the coming months. Initial resistance is marked at 1.3620-25 ahead of 1.3668-1.3675, which encompasses both the 20- and 50-day moving averages.
USD-JPY rose back toward 105.00 amid modest yen underperformance. The five-year peak of 105.44 remains within striking distance, which we expect to fall in the not too distance future. BoJ member Shirai said this week that it would be possible to aim for the 2.0% inflation target at slower pace, though this didn't stir markets as it has become evident that the objective will take longer than the central bank envisaged last April, when it embarked on this course. We expect this policy will continue to drive the yen to fresh lows during the year. Data this week showed Japan's monetary base surged 46.6% y/y in December to a record Y193.5 tln, illustrating the impact that the BoJ's reflationary policy is having. The BoJ is targeting a monetary base to Y270 tln by the end of 2014.
Sterling dove following disappointing U.K. data, with production unexpectedly stagnating in November, construction output falling by its biggest margin in 17 months (of 4%), and the BRC retail sales figure for December falling short of expectations. The data, along with the already released December PMI surveys, collectively suggest that the economy isn't sustaining growth momentum as well has had been thought. This has effectively brought an end to the six-month bull trend sterling had seen. The appreciation of the currency itself has been a brake on export performance. GBP-USD dropped to a two-day low of 1.6402, nearly 80 pips down on the London session peak, while EUR-GBP spiked over 30 pips to a two-day peak of 0.8292. Cable support is marked at 1.6380 (50-day moving average) and 1.6337 (Jan-7 low), resistance at 1.6460 and 1.6480.
The CHF has remained on a weaker footing. USD-CHF has scaled back above 0.9100 and EUR-CHF breached above 1.2300 for the first time in a month, up from its pre-Fed tapering decision low of 1.2166, which was the lowest level seen in eight months. This reflects an unwinding in the Swiss currency's safe haven premium as the period of Fed policy uncertainty ended with its decision to commence QE tapering. Resistance comes in at 1.2400, support at 1.2370 and 1.2350.
USD-CAD has broken sharply higher this week on a bullish U.S. dollar outlook and weaker Canadian data, underpinned by favourable movement in yield differentials. The pair broke both 1.0700 and 1.0800, taking out its Dec-20 major trend peak of 1.7337 on route. The price action marks a break higher after some pretty choppy price action over the last several of weeks. Resistance can now be expected at 1.0850 and 1.0900. The previous trend peak of 1.0737 and 1.0700 now provide support.

About the course
The Pan Enfield Alliance has a culture of training History colleagues very successfully - with all trainees having found employment immediately after training. Previous trainees have commented on the extent of support they received as well as the practical and pedagogical skills they learnt during their time with us.
Interview process
You will be interviewed by a panel - including the Head of Department or Faculty and a member of the Senior Leadership Team. There will also be a test of literacy and a short lesson observation to see how you relate to young people.
The closing date for applications is Tuesday 30th June 2020.
How school placements work
Students apply to the Pan Enfield Alliance and the school of their choice for the main placement. Most of our previous trainees have lived locally, but due to our reputation, we have trained colleagues from across London. You will be teaching 11-18 year olds and will be within an Alliance of over a dozen schools, in 2 placements and with the opportunity to spend some time in additional schools. Your placements run for the whole training year, with 1 day per week at university.
Financial support

We prefer candidates who can show evidence of their working with children and who possess the personal attributes which suggest real potential in the classroom: independence, flexibility and charisma.
Other requirements
The Department for Education requires the Disclosure and Barring Service (formerly the Criminal Records Bureau) to vet the background of persons working in their schools. Candidates offered a place on a PGCE course will be asked to complete an enhanced check with the DBS to ensure they do not have a criminal background which might prevent them from working as a teacher. This must be completed before you register on the programme.

We frequently collaborate and share best practice and with over 90% of our trainees finding employment in a school of their choice, we are confident that we produce high quality teachers who are attractive to a range of prestigious employers. Equally, we are proud of our teacher retention rates as many of our trainees choose to remain with us to further their career within the Pan Enfield Alliance.

There have been so many jokes over the years, but we've finally arrived at "Neon-Camo Armor Batman Clone Trooper" after all...
And Jay, I actually would buy that Psychedelic Hippie Clonetrooper just for novelty value.
Jay, do you think you could do a carded version of the Easter Egg version, with a sticker in that horrible ROTS-esque font (the one that is on all the basic figures) that says something like "LIKE WOW MAN!" or "DUDE, ******' A!" or (to go with Hasbro's favorite word lately), "AWESOME, TOTALLY AWESOME!*"

guest post: around Kerry's home
two sweet kids could not look more beautiful. Today she shares some images of her home, isn't it gorgeous? Enjoy! -Jennifer
Hello, I'm Kerry from Seventy Tree. I'm an illustrator living in London with my husband and two children. I'm very happy to be posting on Jennifer's blog today while she is on her travels - I have known Jennifer 'online' for some time now and we have some nice little back and forth emails across the globe - our boys are very close in age and similarly, we are both trying to combine motherhood with running busy shops! Not always easy!
Anyway, I live in a 1960s flat (apartment) in a very leafy area of North London. It is pretty small, but the location is fantastic. Due to its small proportions and that I only have a 50mm lens, my photos tend to be of close-up details around my home. I am a big fan of Marimekko, Lucky Boy Sunday and the wonderful Donna Wilson (as you can see). I love to change things around at home and display finds by designer makers I have discovered through the blog world and of course, Etsy - many of them have become friends, both in real-life and online, so having their work in my home feels even more special. The apple cushion is one of my latest additions and is by Studio Meez. I also love the work of Fanja Ralison and Elisabeth Dunker, who designed the tea-towel underneath the Marimekko bowl. Much too nice to be drying my dishes with! Like many others, I have been enjoying the 'neon' revival, so am very happy to own one of Fanja's mushroom cushions.
All these little details create a relaxed, comfortable home, where my children can play freely. Even though we could do with some extra square meters here, what we have is pretty good, so I try not to complain too much!
Have a nice day and thanks again for having me ♡

Business 101
This story appears in the December 1998 issue of . Subscribe »
When Ada Diaz Kirby started CommTech International Inc. in Denver in 1994, she thought her 24-year career at telephone company US West qualified her to operate a high-tech training firm. But within days of starting the business, Kirby, 48, was mired in myriad problems she had never imagined. For instance, after winning a $1 million training contract, she quickly had to hire more than 20 employees. Then she immediately had to secure financing for new computer workstations for those employees--workstations costing about $12,000 each.
"I thought I had figured it all out," Kirby recalls. "I had a mom-and-apple-pie business plan, but it wasn't realistic and wouldn't have worked."
With the business's demise likely, Kirby spent $100 to enroll in Premier Fast Trac's "Recognizing Opportunities and Defining a Venture" course. Between 6 and 10 every Monday night for six months, Kirby learned how to operate a business. The lessons she learned about hiring, contracting, marketing, franchising, financing and more saved her company, which now generates $1.2 million in annual revenues, employs 16 people and is expanding to provide international training.
Kirby and others like her are increasingly turning to the growing number of workshops, seminars and courses that target start-up entrepreneurs. Participating in such entrepreneurial training programs before start-up can greatly improve your chances of success, says Sandy Weinberg, a professor and chairman of the Institute of Entrepreneurship at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The Institute's four-semester program teaches groups of 25 fledgling entrepreneurs how to start and succeed in their businesses.
"[Attending an educational] program forces people to think about what they want to do and how to go about it in clear detail," Weinberg explains. As a result, problems are worked out before money is spent and businesses are opened, rather than after it's too late.
Beyond Basics
Participants in training programs walk away with a lot more than a business plan, Weinberg notes. For the price of enrollment, new entrepreneurs obtain credibility when they approach bankers, valuable contacts in the business community, and the chance to network with others trying to strike out on their own.
"It's not who you know, but who knows you and what you do," says Lucy Rosen, president of The Business Development Group in Oceanside, New York, which has offered entrepreneurship seminars for 15 years. Priced at about $25, the seminars--held nationwide--give start-up owners a chance to interact with those who have overcome the main issues facing entrepreneurs, from lack of capital to bad service.
With a keen eye on the bottom line and the time constraints participants face, entrepreneurial training programs are becoming more innovative in their approaches to their customers. "Business owners don't have time to go to college," contends Dawn AnJolais, founder and president of Business Owners University, a Portland, Oregon, company that provides entrepreneurship training via telephone and the Internet.
Business Owners University's telephone classes, led by successful entrepreneurs, cost from $450 to $1,100 and range from a four-week course, which explains the steps to opening a business, to an eight-week course, which offers an in-depth approach to starting and expanding a business. For several hours each week, entrepreneurs take part in discussions designed to help them assist each other.
Big Companies Want You
As small business in general gains national attention, Fortune 500 corporations are seeking a foothold in this fast-growing market. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has an Entrepreneurial Advisory Services/ Middle Market Group that holds seminars for entrepreneurs nationwide. "[Entrepreneurs have] many needs, and we want to position ourselves to help them find answers," says Don Dailey, regional partner in charge of the group. "If we can help them, they might think of us [later on] when they need help."
Using instructors called "thought leaders," PricewaterhouseCoopers holds breakfast meetings that focus on issues of importance to business owners. Often held in conjunction with local business groups at no cost to attendees, the sessions are designed to be interactive. "We serve as facilitators to bring business owners together to learn from each other," Dailey explains.
Other professional service firms are joining the training trend, too. Follmer Rudzewicz & Co., a Detroit accounting firm, offers an Organizational Development and Training Consulting service to owners of small businesses, providing advice from successful entrepreneurs for free or for as little as $45 per hour, compared to the usual $300 per hour. "Most people are either good salespeople or have a good [business idea]," says David B. Harrell, a principal in the firm and head of the program, "but they don't have both, and that's what gets them into trouble."
Beyond practical matters, entrepreneurship courses offer intangible benefits as well. "Isolation is a big problem for people starting a business," says Judith Cone, program director of the Center for Entepreneurial Leadership at the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, which sponsors the Premier Fast Trac programs in 46 states. "Entrepreneurial training helps eliminate that feeling of isolation. [Participants] see they are part of a process that can work."
Making sure your business will work before you start is key to success. Once the doors open, there isn't much time to think about the essential nuts and bolts of running a business. Taxes, marketing, finding employees--these aren't the things you think of when you visualize being your own boss, but they're essential parts of being a successful business owner.

Class Acts
The skyrocketing number of entrepreneurial education programs is good news for entrepreneurs--but with so many options, choosing the right seminar or class can be difficult. To find the perfect match, begin by carefully assessing yourself. What skills and expertise do you lack? How much time and money can you afford to invest in a training program? When and where do you want to take a class?
Listing your entrepreneurial strengths and weaknesses is a good starting point, one that can be made even more valuable if you ask friends, business colleagues and family members to make a similar list about you. The results can be hard to swallow, but they'll give you an objective list of the areas you need to improve.
Next, gather the names of programs from local business organizations such as your chamber of commerce and the SBA. Ask other entrepreneurs and professionals, such as your attorney and accountant, for ideas.
Look for a program that fits the way you learn. If classroom instruction bores you, you may do better in a program that emphasizes interaction with other business owners rather than lectures. Short on time? You may prefer getting information in one day-long class, or you may want to take night classes spread over several months so you're not overwhelmed with a lot of material all at once. If you're truly pressed for time or your business requires you to work odd hours, consider classes on the Internet, which are available 24 hours a day.
To narrow your list, talk to the instructors to get details about their teaching style and the material covered. Also ask for names of business owners who have taken the class, and contact them to get their opinion. (Be especially careful when investigating courses on the Internet, where all is not always what it seems.)
Torn between two programs? If all else is equal, go for the ones taught by successful entrepreneurs. These experienced leaders can offer you valuable lessons, assistance and business contacts.

As much as we loved "Inception," no one is more surprised than we are that the film held on to lead the box office for a third straight week. But even stranger is the idea that the film's costume designer may have given up the biggest clue to the film's controversial ending.
Ed. note: It goes without saying -- but we'll say it anyway -- what's to follow includes some mild spoilers. If you haven't already seen the film and are planning to, we strongly advise you to read no further.
Jeffrey Kurland, the costume designer for "Inception," recently did an interview with Clothes on Film ("man, there's a website for everything isn't there?" notes The Playlist who uncovered the piece) in which he discussed the meaning of the clothes in the film, specifically the ones wore by Cobb's children:
- COF: How much does costume reflect the inner machinations of the plot, particularly in a film such as 'Inception?' For example, Cobb's children are wearing the same clothes at the end of the story as they are in his dream 'memory' throughout the film. Is there something to be interpreted here?
- JK: Costume design reflects greatly on the movement of the plot, most significantly through character development. Character development is at the forefront of costume design. The characters move the story along and with the director and the actor the costume designer helps to set the film's emotional tone in a visual way. In a more physical sense the costumes' style and color help to keep the story on track, keeping a check on time and place.
- On to the second part of your question, the children's clothing is different in the final scene… look again…
Giving further credence to the idea that time is moving forward for the kids is that "two different sets of children are listed in the credits (the first pair at ages 3 & 20 months, the second 5 & 3)," as a commenter on Cinematical's piece "Dissecting 'Inception': Six Interpretations and Five Plot Holes" noted.
Obviously neither of these revelations will solve the questions surrounding "Inception," but it's certainly interesting grist for the mill.

The following is a message from Jan Meisels Allen, Chairperson, IAJGS Public Records Access Monitoring Committee:
A bill has been introduced in the United States Senate which would prohibit the recently added question on citizenship to be placed on the 2020 US Census. The bill, S 2580, authored by Senator Menendez (D-NJ) has 15 co-sponsors-all Democrats. The title of the bill is "Every Person Counts Act". The bill specifically proposes in Section 141(a) of title 13 of the United States Code, by inserting," as necessary, except that the Secretary may not include any question or otherwise elicit any information regarding United States citizenship or immigration status".
To read the bill see: https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/2580/text.
The US Constitution has required a decennial census since 1790. Earlier this year, at the e request of the Justice Department, the Secretary of Commerce added a question on citizenship based on their assumption it will "help enforce" the Voting Rights Act . Between 1820 and 1950 the US Census asked a question about citizenship. Since the 1950 census no citizenship question has been included in the decennial census. The question will be the same as the one asked in the annual American Community Survey. Since 1790 the US census has counted both citizens and non-citizens This was added late in the sole testing stage so it will probably will not be included in the Rhode Island end-to-end survey.
There are several states which have filed suit against the Administration over the new question. For back ground information see the IAJGS Records Access Alert .
