- By Cameron Chapman

WordPress is often thought of as just a blogging platform. But it's capable of so much more. Even WordPress' documentation includes an entire section on using WordPress as a content management system1. Because WordPress is such an easy-to-use platform, it makes sense to consider using it as a platform to build just about any kind of website, a portfolio website included.
Whether you're a photographer, graphic designer, Web designer or any other kind of visual artist, WordPress makes an excellent starting point for developing your online portfolio. And with the wealth of plug-ins and ready-made themes available, you can usually get a perfectly presentable website up and running in a matter of hours.
This article assumes that you have a clean installation of WordPress running on your website. For instructions on installing and configuring WordPress, please consult the official documentation2.
Here are additional links that may be useful when designing your portfolio website.

There are some common mistakes designers make in their portfolios. Let's review these common pitfalls first to make sure you don't fall into one of these traps.
- 50 Beautiful And Creative Portfolio Designs1115
In this showcase, you'll find a variety of beautiful, unique and highly creative portfolio designs.
The first thing you'll want to do is decide whether to use a pre-made theme or design your own. If you're a Web designer, chances are you'll want to design a custom theme. But if you're any other kind of visual artist, plenty of ready-made themes are available, and with a little customization (changing the background image, logo and color scheme can go a long way), one probably exists that suits your needs and will save you time. Therefore let's first take a look at some freely available high-quality "portfolio" WordPress themes.
1. Free WordPress Portfolio Themes Link
Using a pre-made theme is a great way to save time. While some of the best themes are not free, they're still significantly less expensive than hiring a designer to build your website or spending hours of your own time when you could be doing billable work.

3. Designing Your Portfolio Link
You'll likely use two main types of pages on your portfolio website: a home page or main portfolio page and individual project pages. Your main page will likely consist of a series of thumbnails showcasing your work. Individual project pages offer more detailed information about your work.
Designing Your Main Page Link
One thing all of the above themes have in common is a focus on images on the home page or main portfolio page. A regular WordPress blog usually focuses on text. But a portfolio website needs to focus on the images. Whether you want your images to appear in a grid format, in chronological order, as a slideshow or any other way is a personal choice. But make sure each image is large enough for someone to have an idea of what they're looking at.
Along with the images for your portfolio, you may want to include some introductory information. One way to do this is to include a "sticky post" (at least two plug-ins do this: Simple Sticky Posts71 and WP-Sticky72). Another way is to use (or design) a theme with a "featured posts" function that sets apart selected posts from the rest of your content.
The way you handle images on your website is another personal choice. A variety of plug-ins are available out there to create various effects.
Plug-Ins to Handle Images Link
Images are the backbone of any portfolio website. Here are a few plug-ins for displaying and formatting your website's images.
Thumbnail for Excerpts73
This plug-in automatically displays a thumbnail of a post's first image in the post excerpt (which appears on your home page or category pages).
Slide Press75
Integrates slideshows from SlideShowPro into WordPress.
Carousel Gallery (jQuery) for WordPress77
Creates a jQuery-powered gallery.
WordPress ThickBox plugin79
A plug-in for creating the Thickbox photo style. It also includes instructions for switching to the W3C-valid Smoothbox, along with some other useful modifications.
PhotoQ WordPress Photoblog Plugin81
This plug-in turns your blog into a photoblog. Very handy if you want to use a theme that isn't particularly suited to a portfolio but don't have the know-how or time to customize it to your needs.
PhotoSmash Galleries83
This plug-in allows you to manage multiple galleries and even more than one gallery per post.
Image Drop Shadow
Creates an automatic drop-shadow effect for all of your images.
FlippingBook WordPress Gallery85
This is one of the coolest plug-ins out there for setting up a portfolio. Instead of including a ton of thumbnail images on your project pages, why not set them up as a flip book, in which viewers can turn pages and zoom in to view details? This plug-in makes all that possible (and easy).
Featured Content Gallery87
This plug-in creates an automated rotating gallery of images from your posts or pages that you can embed anywhere on your theme.
NextGEN Gallery89
Another gallery plug-in with an easy-to-use back-end.
WordPress Galleria91
Creates photo galleries automatically; all you have to do is upload a folder with the photos you want for each gallery.
Flickr Gallery
This is a great plug-in if you've already put your work up on Flickr. It lets you easily create galleries for your blog based on your Flickr photos, photosets and most popular photos.
Designing Your Project Pages Link
Each of your projects should have its own page providing details. The details you'll want to include will vary based on what kind of portfolio you have. If you're a Web designer, you'll want to offer links to actual websites, along with a brief rundown of each project's scope and possibly testimonials. If you're a photographer, you'll want to include information on the subjects, dates and locations of your photos. An artist will include information about the media used, inspirations and possibly from where and how the pieces can be purchased, or who has purchased them if they've already been sold.
Displaying the data for these types of posts can be a pain. You can just use a narrative format to describe the project as you would in a regular blog post. But if you're looking for something a bit different, there are a couple of ways to deal with formatting posts like this. You can use a post template (check out the Post Templates plug-in) or a table (using the WP-Table plug-in). In any case, standardizing how information is presented for each project will make your portfolio look more professional.
No matter what kind of art or design work you're showcasing, you may want to include additional images or screenshots of each project. Some of the image gallery plug-ins listed above are perfect for this type of usage.
What Else Should Your Portfolio Include? Link
Obviously, your portfolio should have images of your best work. But what else should you include? An "About" page should be included, as should contact information. (What's the point of showing off your work if prospective clients can't get in touch with you?)
If you're feeling brave, you may want to set up a rating system on your website. There are plug-ins to do this (GD Star Rating93 seems to be the most popular). You can then use the ratings to feature certain projects or just use them for your own knowledge.
Whether to leave comments open on your project pages is another consideration. Again, it's a personal choice. If you do decide to let visitors comment, I would strongly recommend setting up a moderation policy that requires all new comments to be approved. This prevents abusive comments from appearing on your website (a big concern if you're posting projects you've done for clients, who might be offended if a negative comment showed up in reference to their website or logo).
4. Other Considerations And Tips Link
Keep the design of your portfolio website simple. You want your work to stand out, not the website's design. A solid-colored or simple image background paired with crisp images of your projects is the way to go.
If you're designing your portfolio theme from scratch or customizing a pre-made theme, here's a trick I learned on my first project. Upload your theme or the basic framework of the theme to your website (or testing area). Then go to your home page and each individual page you'll be designing and copy the source code. Save each of these pages as an HTML file. Open them up in your HTML editor of choice and attach the CSS from your theme. From there, you can edit your CSS and images and see how they affect the website's actual design. Of course, you won't be able to edit your PHP files, which control the functionality of your website, but it's a great shortcut when working on the actual design.
Pick and choose the projects you upload to your website. No one says you have to include every project you've ever worked on. Pick the best ones, or the ones most representative of your work, and forget the rest. Better to have 10 or 20 excellent examples than 100 that are just so-so.

Finnish Recycling Powerhouse to Install Robotic Recycling System
Finnish recycler Lassila & Tikanoja plc and ZenRobotics Ltd. announced L&T is acquiring the ZenRobotics Recycler recycling system. The system safely sorts raw materials like metal, wood, and stone fractions from construction and demolition waste.
ZenRobotics says the ZRR technology allows the customer to both recover more raw materials to sell for profit, and to save in disposal fees.
L&T is to install the ZenRobotics Recycler system in 2013 in the company's flagship recycling facility in Kerava, 30 km from Helsinki, Finland. The uptake of the system will further increase the recycling rate of the facility's mixed construction and demolition waste, reducing the amount of material that needs to be land-filled, the company says.
ZenRobotics says its recycling system is the first robotic waste sorting system in the world. Currently designed for construction and demolition waste, ZenRobotics Recycler reclaims valuable raw materials from waste with the help of advanced machine learning technology. Currently the ZRR sorts metal, wood and stone fractions. ZenRobotics Recycler uses multiple sensors (visible spectrum cameras, NIR, 3D laser scanners, haptic sensors, etc). to create a real-time analysis of the waste stream being currently processed. Based on the analysis, the system makes autonomous decisions on what objects to pick and how.
L&T VP of Environmental Sales Petri Salermo says that moving from manual waste sorting to a robot process will also improve the occupational safety and the overall working conditions at the facility.

Vintage Signed Japanese Hand Painted Tile Rooster
This signed hand painted tile of a rooster is a cool piece, and as it is narrow, it can fit on a narrow wall space. The picture is only 3 3/4" wide x 18 1/2" tall. The tile is signed and has a red stamp in the left corner. The tile is in great shape, but the frame is scuffed and has minor damage in the lower left corner. There is a white space in his comb that appears to be original to the picture. It's a well painted piece made up of three tiles. There is a partial tag on the back saying pat no 492...MADE IN JA. A second tag says QUALIT and more that I can not make out. Please email me with any questions and thank you for shopping here with us at Something Wonderful.

Laid-Off WBAI Employees Still Waiting for Severance Six Months Later
It was August when Pacifica Radio's executive director, Summer Reese, took to the airwaves to announce that most of the station's paid staff, including its entire news department, was being laid off. Reese told listeners on the afternoon of August 9 that "we will laying off virtually everyone whose voice you recognize on the air."
At the end of this month, unemployment benefits will run out for the 19 employees who lost their jobs last summer -- and all of them are still waiting for severance checks from Pacifica Radio. At least three of them face becoming homeless, one former employee told the Voice.

As part of the agreement the employees' union, SAG-AFTRA, brokered with Pacifica, the network must pay its former employees by the end of March or face the possibility of a lawsuit.
The problem, according to WBAI general manager Berthold Reimers, is neither the station nor network has the money to make good on those promises. In a February 14 email to listeners, Reimers wrote:
[W]e are now in much bigger [financial] trouble than we were two weeks ago. As most of you are aware, neither WBAI nor Pacifica has a cash reserve. Pacifica can no longer bail us out when we are short of cash. So we need to raise money fast.
The good news is that with a successful fund-drive, we can definitely break even during the current quarter. Our monthly expenses are down to about $125,000, half what they were a year ago. In fact we nearly broke even during the last three months of 2013 in terms of operating expenses. But we still had debt: for120 Wall Street, moving expenses, and we had to pay back money we had borrowed from WPFW.
We have left only one significant external debt, and that is the severance pay. It is a big problem because even if we dedicate the entire Corporation for Public Broadcasting grant to it, we still need an additional $90,000 to pay the full severance.

Reimers fired WBAI's most recent interim program director, Bob Hennelly, on February 13. Hennelly joined WBAI in December after his predecessor, Andrew Phillips, resigned after a dispute over programming with Pacifica's Reese. Phillips disapproved of WBAI's continued association with health guru Gary Null. Null's products have remained perennial money-makers for the station as WBAI has struggled to raise money in recent years.

Rumors have hung in the air for many years that Pacifica was seeking to sell or lease out WBAI's signal to another station. Those rumors seemed close to materializing in October though, when the network, which owns WBAI's broadcast license as well as the broadcast licenses for KPFK in Los Angeles, KPFA in Berkeley, KPFT in Houston. and WPFW in Washington D.C., officially began soliciting proposals to lease its signal or swap signals with another station.
Earlier this month, Hennelly told supporters if the station did not raise enough funds within a matter of days Pacifica would be forced to lease the signal. Reimers pushed back against that claim in February 14 his email, writing, "That is absolutely not true. In fact, the Pacifica National Board this past weekend voted to put off any consideration of LMAs for 60 days in order to give WBAI time to work out a realistic alternative."
Summer Reese did not respond to a request for comment.

The 24th Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin, Germany
In late December, cable docks, soldering stations, templates, 4,000 participants, and 100 talks were active ingredients in the 24th Chaos Computer Congress.
Out of 100 events, the "Hacking" track was best represented with about 35 talks, with the "Society" track following close behind (Figure 1). Roger Dingledine talked about the Tor project and the increasingly urgent need for an interface between technology and society. Dingledine said, "We need more lawyers looking into data protection" [1].
The Congress is continuing to move in the direction of more political and social topics. Despite this, there were still a number of interesting technical demonstrations. For example, the animated Mitch Altman, inventor of the open source TV-B-Gone remote control, shared his enthusiam at his talk and workshop on microcontroller hacking [2]. Several contributions clearly showed that vendors who block gaming consoles for alternative operating systems actually motivate open source developers.

Victor Gregg was in Dresden during the atrocity visited upon that city. His account is simple but spares no detail about what he saw. The image which sticks in my mind was when he saw a group of refugees from the fire storm engulfing Dresden trying to cross the road to safety. The road surface had melted and as they tried to cross they got stuck in it like flies on a fly paper. One by one the burst into flames as Gregg and his companions could only watch on in horror helpless to do anything to rescue them.
It was many years before he was able to talk about his experiences from that time; in February 2015 on the 70th anniversary of the bombing he was interviewed on the BBC news.
Then, as in the book, he was scathing about those who ordered the raid, not the bomber crews who carried out the raid. They were only following orders. It was the politicians, notably Churchill and Portal, who ordered it, despite the fact that the ancient and beautiful of Dresden had no strategic importance.
Gregg's memories encompass both the mundane and the horrific. He describes scenes that are almost impossible to comprehend and for him and the other witnesses to have lived with the memories of such sights without losing their sanity is incredible. We were taught about WW2 at school, but I don't remember Dresden getting a mention. It doesn't fit with our British view of ourselves as the conquering heroes. Gregg addresses this paradox at the end of his memoir calling for some law to prevent any reoccurrence of such civilian slaughter. In common with my thoughts after having read The Rape Of Nanking, I am left bewildered and horrified at the capability, seemingly existing in all humans, to destroy each other.
As a schoolboy I studied the bombing and almost total destruction of Dresden - an historic city with little military value - with horror and shame that my own country - the good guys - had orchestrated such a heinous terror attack.
I share the authors respect for the brave airmen of the RAF and USAF; this was not their crime. But "Bomber" Harris should have been investigatedg for war crimes. Too late for that, but not too late for the UK to issue a formal apology for the destruction of Dresden and the mass slaughter of tens of thousands of innocents.
This short book is a sobering and horrific first hand account of that terrible event. I would suggest that it should be mandatory reading for every school child, but perhaps it is simply too horrific....

NEW YORK -- For oft-injured New York Mets left fielder Moises Alou, this was a medical report he didn't mind hearing.
Alou, on the 15-day disabled list since March 23 following hernia surgery, rolled his left ankle last week, but an MRI exam on Monday showed nothing but "a little swelling" and the results came back "clean."
"I had a little setback with my ankle, but it didn't set me back because I'm here," Alou said Tuesday.
Alou certainly looked ready. He was in his Mets workout clothes and at his locker in the New York clubhouse for the first time this season.
Alou, on the DL for the 16th time in his 19-year career -- he missed two full seasons to injuries -- has been participating in the Mets' extended spring training in Florida, including a game for Class A St. Lucie. He said he batted third every inning and insists that he'll be ready to play every day even if his stamina isn't quite there yet.
"I played seven innings. It plays great and I was expecting to play today. It's good now and I'm ready to go," Alou said. "I could get activated today. ... For me, Opening Day is Friday," the 41-year-old said.
Mets general manager Omar Minaya, however, said Alou is day-to-day.
"We're probably not going to activate him tomorrow," Minaya said before the game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. "We'll look at him Thursday and then by Friday we are going to look at him much closer."
The Mets will have to make a move to activate Alou, and one possibility is to place catcher Brian Schneider on the disabled list.
Schneider remained hospitalized with an infection in his left thumb, but Minaya said the catcher could be released as early as tomorrow.
Minaya said Schneider, out since Thursday, had a type of infection that was "caused by normal skin bacteria -- staph is one of them." But he emphasized that he "doesn't have the serious [type of staph infection]."
Schneider had his finger drained, but he did not need stitches. When he'll be able to play again is unknown.
"He'll be day-to-day," Minaya said. "At the end of the day, it's a thumb, it's the catching thumb, and it's a sensitive area."

Boat conformer launches new carbon bond-forming reaction
23 February 2016 Research
Palladium catalyst exploits usually hard-to-access configuration to achieve C–H activation
Physical chemists in Germany and Switzerland have combined two different techniques to investigate the reactivities of different conformers – a type of stereoisomer – and found one reaction that went 50% faster for one conformer over the other. While general reaction mechanisms are understood, exactly how this works on a molecule-by-molecule basis is still being teased apart.
Conformers are isomers of the same molecule where rotation around a bond gives different arrangements. In the case of 3-aminophenol (3AP), the OH group can rotate so that the hydrogen atom points in one of two different directions. These two arrangements have two different dipoles and a team of European researchers have now shown that these variable dipole moments mean that one conformer reacts one-and-a-half times faster than the other.
The state of the art technique can separate two conformers and monitor how quickly they react with a Coulomb crystal © Science/AAAS
To try and rectify this, Willitsch teamed up with Jochen Küpper's group at the German Electron Synchrotron to combine their expertise. The resulting technique first separates the different conformers using an electric field before firing individual conformers at a crystal of calcium ions cooled down to close to absolute zero, called a Coulomb crystal. Because the ions in the crystal are so well defined, by watching to see when one ion reacts with 3AP and disappears they can measure the kinetics. The team found that cis-3AP reacted one-and-a-half times faster than trans-3AP.
That result is not unexpected, explains Willitsch, who describes how the team of physical chemists dusted off their organic chemistry textbooks to find a simple reaction that could be used to test their new technique. For the test reaction, the long range electrostatic effect of the two conformers having different dipole moments was expected to dominate. But having proved their new approach works, the team can now investigate the different kinetics involved for different conformers.
'It's a remarkable combination of two state of the art techniques,' says Jeremy Hutson, who works on ultra-cold chemistry at Durham University, UK. But while the techniques used are related to ultra-cold chemistry, the result is not itself an ultra-cold technique. 'It's more an artillery experiment,' agrees Willitsch, referring to the beams of molecules fired at the cold Coulomb crystal.
For physical chemists more used to working with atoms and diatomic molecules, looking at the reactions of 3AP is an impressive start. Indeed, Hutson describes it as very interesting that the technique can work with molecules 'quite that big'. But for Willitsch, this is just the beginning; there are some big organic chemistry textbooks that need to be worked through.

Stayed at the Bentley (3 of us in 2 different rooms) November 7-10. The one of us traveling solo got a nice free upgrade to a suite when there were no rooms with a single king bed, which had been requested. Very nice!! Both rooms were nicely appointed and clean. Beds and pillows super comfortable. Found the front desk staff to be helpful and courteous, as we had a number of occasions to call upon them (more on that below). It is located in a nice nabe with good restaurants in walking distance. Our view from the room was at the Queensborough Bridge and river -- very nice!! Room rates were quite reasonable, all told.
On the more negative side, and the most important, is that our air conditioning kicked off daily. We would wake up in the middle of the night to 76-77 degree temps in the room! Every morning I would tromp down to the front desk to report it, receive an apology, and be told that it would be fixed. While out for the day, we were happy to return in the late afternoon to find the AC back on. But then in the night, it would kick off again. Next day, repeat the previous day, and then the same result. The problem was that the sun would pour through the window (yea for nice sunny days) but with no AC, it would heat up so badly. One day (Friday) it was 87 in the room when we got back. All this to find out when I was checking out Saturday morning, when the Front Desk Manager asked me how the stay was (and I told her about the continuing AC problem), that we could have fixed the problem ourselves had we only removed the room key card from the little sleeve by the bathroom that controls the power in the room. According to her, that would have re-set the thermostat, and allowed the AC to kick back in. Who knew?? No one had told us that previously. Now, I cannot vouch for whether or not that approach actually would have worked, since I learned this upon checking out. So, if YOU experience the same problem, you might try it!
Other things -- there are no ice machines in the hotel. You have to call to have ice sent up (so you are actually paying for ice via gratuity for the room service). The restaurant is indeed not connected to the hotel. Great view, but mediocre food, at best. It is a Kosher restaurant with a limited menu, and none of us found any of the food to be remarkable in any way. I would not go there again.
All in all, the Bentley was a good place location-wise for us and room-quality wise (apart from the AC issue).
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Located on Manhattan's Upper East Side - Hotel features panoramic views of Manhattan skyline, East River and the renowned, 59th St Bridge Be sure to have dinner and/or a cocktail in Prime at The Bentley restaurant.

(LOS ANGELES, CA) -- Sales of the Vivid Entertainment line of herbal virility supplements have surged in recent months, driven by unprecedented sales growth in Asia, a sexy and aggressive new global advertising campaign, and the use of famous Vivid Girls to help promote the products.
"Sales of the Vivid-branded line of male and female sexual virility products have gone through the roof!" asserted Laurie Oceguera, Director of Marketing for Herbal Groups, Inc., Vivid's marketing partner for its line of branded virility supplements. "Since we started selling internationally, the Vivid male virility product is now #1 in its category in Asia."
Additionally, the products' sales have more than doubled thanks to a global ad campaign. An Herbal Vivid commercial can be seen on the Spice, Playboy TV and Hot Network channels and the product has also been promoted on popular radio programs such as the Tom Leykis Show, Tony Bruno Show and the Howard Stern Show. The products are also advertised in leading men's magazines and are promoted through an extensive direct mail network that reaches millions of households per year.
"Our target customers are males, ages 35-70, so we have focused our media buys on schedules that reach that demographic," said Ms. Oceguera. "The Vivid Girls are also a great marketing tool, which became evident at the recent Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, California, where customers waited in long lines to get the autographs of Vivid superstars Lexie Marie and Monique Alexander.
Since Herbal Groups broadened distribution of the Vivid products outside of the U.S. to include the Asia market (Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and China) sales have increased 158%, said Ms. Oceguera. "Vivid is using the marketing expertise of Buccone, Ltd., which is exclusive distributor for the herbal products in Asia and has already made Herbal Vivid the top selling male virility supplement in China. Buccone presented the Vivid products to more than 355 medical companies and over 350,000 professional visitors at recent trade shows such as the China Medicine and Health Food Fair and the New and Specific Drug, Non-prescription Drug Exhibition with enormous success."
Herbal Groups, has been a Vivid partner since 2002 and is the exclusive manufacturer of Vivid supplements. Information about the Vivid line of supplements can be found at HerbalVivid.com . For wholesale opportunities, interested companies should visit Herbal Groups website at HerbalGroups.com.

--If you want a true barometer of expectations for the Suns this season, the 2012-13 season schedule tells the story.
Steve Nash's Jan. 30 return to Phoenix with the Los Angeles Lakers is the only Suns game that ABC or ESPN selected to air this season. Meanwhile, TNT picked two Suns home games -- Dec. 6 against Dallas and Jan. 24 against the Los Angeles Clippers. Not a single Phoenix road game was selected for national coverage -- quite a drop for a team that had consistent double-digit TV appearances during the Nash era.
--While Al McCoy rolls on as the voice of the Phoenix Suns on radio, the team will make another change on the television side. Veteran Steve Albert, brother of TNT voice Marv Albert and a longtime veteran broadcaster of basketball, boxing and many other sports, will replace Tom Leander this season. Leander will stay with the team as the in-studio host of the pregame, halftime and postgame shows, replacing Kevin Ray.
"It's a very open style. They get out in transition, and that fits my style. And the way they swing the ball on the perimeter, everybody touches it. So it fits me well."-- New Suns guard Wesley Johnson.

"Working for 40 years as an electrician, took it's toll on my ability to enjoy recreational activities. Walking is an activity that causes pain for me. Any step that is not carefully guided, causes a shock wave to travel through my titainium knees (both were replaced after I left the work force) and up to the 3 fused vertebrae in my neck. The result is instant pain that could last for day's. M.B.T, shoes, have literally changed my life !!!! I can now walk as well as anyone!!! I can even run, a short distance if I need too. Walking around the block with my grandchildren is an activity I can do again! There is no secret around my house as to why I can now enjoy all the activities being able to walk, has brought back to my life! It's the MBT's!!!! Thank you!

I bet GXP's customers like Management and the Directors just about as much as the stockholders. The only ones that now like GXP's Management and Directors are GXP's Management and Directors. An honorable Director would resign.
Rate raise will go to CEO and Board of directors bonus's.
Maybe at somepoint this Country will open it`s eyes and use common sense.Whenever one party has full control blunders happen-can`t believe it elected a far left Pres.with absolutly no experiance and a tax raising high spending Congress.The only good part just over a year from now part of the problem will get better.
Back in the 60's, left-wing nuttism seemed got alot of press. Now it's the right wing's turn to make complete asses of themselves. It's worth anything to them to see Obama damaged, even if it means also damaging the country.
Forget politlcal parties-boy are you dumb.
Now back to politics,Nobama has added more debt in a few months than all the Presidents in history put together,and please don`t say it`s all Bush`s fault.It`s the tax crazy Gov.do all halfass way Dems.to blame.
Yea and the country crashed with Reagan/Bush and again with Bush, JR. Doesn't that reasoning go by the wayside by now. Be glad to be able to pay-the more I pay, the more I've got. Only can spend so much!! And the reason for all this good fortune is living here. Only the greedy are complaining.
Its pathetic that every board has become an opportunity for right wing nuts to be critical of the President. Get a life, discuss GXP here not President Obama.
You didn't answer the question. Are you a politician too?
Why would any GXP shareholder complain about a rate increase?? You lost me there. Please explain.
Unfortunately I am still a stockholder in GXP but I also am an electrical consumer(rate payer)in another area of the country than GXP'S service area. As both a consumer and stockholder I want to know "where are the cuts"?. No where have I heard of drastic cost cutting measures put in place by GXP Management that would correspond to the significant rate increases and extreme dividend cuts requested and dictated by Management. All the sacrifice is placed upon the consumers and stockholders. Where are the wage freezes and elimination of bonuses? Where are the employee reductions? Surely with the rate increases and dividend cuts that we have seen a 10% across the board reduction in personnel is warranted. Revenue is down so if they aren't doing as much why do they still need all the personnel? Company after Company throughout the United States has put in place cost cutting programs that cut into the meat of their business to weather today's extraordinary times but this bunch is continuing business as usual all the while asking their customers to pay more and their stockholders to take less. Management must go!
If I may, the point as I read it was that GXP BOD/Officers are now despised *both* by shareholders and consumers.
Consumers are broadsided by a seemingly incredibly large overnight rate increase.
Shareholders were broadsided by an overnight 50% decrease in intrinsic value of shares due to BOD/Officers actions/inactions/incompetence.
This after both consumers and shareholders were bombarded by incessant promises and promissory prognistications from BOD/Officers about how much benefit both parties would receive from the long awaited Aquila takeover.

To the Editor.—
The case report of Rogers and Kurtzman in "Renal Failure, Uncontrollable Thirst, and Hyperreninemia: Cessation of Thirst with Bilateral Nephrectomy" (225: 1236, 1973) raises the possibility that propranolol should have been tried before subjecting the patient to bilateral nephrectomy. Propranolol, a beta-adrenergic blocker has been appropriately labeled a renin lowering drug by Laragh,1 since it has been found to inhibit renin secretion in man and animals. The mechanism by which it lowers plasma renin is not clear. The effect could be central or intrarenal via beta-adrenergic pathway blockade. Thus, by inhibiting the renin secretion of their patient with propranolol, the authors possibly could have decreased the marked thirst, hopefully achieving the same goal as by removing both his kidneys.It should be noted also, that their patient was receiving testosterone, presumably for the treatment of anemia of chronic renal failure. Several studies have shown that testosterone does improve anemia of chronic renal failure.

My name is Robert and after years as a home builder I now manage 5 rental properties on a full time basis.

I can always be reached via email and text and usually reply within minutes to all inquiries, questions or issues.
I look forward to having you as my guest for your next vacation or getaway!!
Robert purchased this lodge in 2007
The location is amazing... The views are delightful... The house is kept immaculately clean and is very spacious & comfortable... If you read the many customer reviews you will see and get a feel for the vacation experience you can expect if you rent one of my properties.
Summer: The private community lake is across the street, a 50 yards walk down a gravel path. Kayaks and pedal boat are available at no cost. The lake is open from May 1 to October 30.
Winter: Hunter Mountain Resort is less than 1 mile away.
Thanks Jessica for your detailed review. As a home owner I depend on exit emails & frank reviews from my guests so to maintain a 5-Star accomodation!!
- Regarding the dishwasher: It's only 4 months old & I'm guessing the spinner somehow got blocked because it seems to be working fine now and no one else has ever complained about it.
- Thanks for the tip regarding upstairs air-flow. I just installed 2 new Wisper-Quiet oscillating tower fans that will guarantee a quiet cool breeze on even the muggiest of nights :)
We were a family group of 9 people, three generations, coming from 4 different states. This property met our needs perfectly. The kids enjoyed the new playground set, which replaces the trampoline shown in some of the photos. We also enjoyed the chairs around the campfire, which have been added since the photos were taken. A log house has many places where dust, etc. can collect, but this house really was immaculate. It was also well equipped, including firewood, boats, gas grill (with extra gas) and other amenities and necessities such as toilet paper. We also enjoyed the lake. One thing worth mentioning is that the Topps grocery store in Tannersville, which has an adequate selection of foods, is roughly 5 easy miles away. I can't think of a single negative comment; the place is great.
We spent a fantastic long weekend at this property with 5 families. It was the perfect home for all the kids and adults - plenty of room to spread out and sleep and all the right rooms to spend time together for meals, games, and more. The beach was private and quiet with water that all the kids loved swimming in. Kayaks and paddleboat were a great addition too along with the swingset out front of the house for the younger kids. Everyone had a blast!
We were a group of 14 women staying for the Taste of Country festival and couldn't have been happier with our accommodations. Plenty of room for all of us and the house is beautiful. I was worried about the walk to the mountain but it wasn't bad at all. Robert is very responsive. We had one very minor issue with a broken blow dryer and soon after texting Robert, Dan, the property manager appeared with 2 new blowdryers! We already booked again for next year and would highly recommend staying here.
Had a great weekend with friends and enjoyed all of the amenities!
The lodge was perfectly located for reasonable get-togethers, ski visits or as basecamp to go to one of the areas many festivals. The house itself was well maintained, clean and comfortable. Furthermore, Robert was extremely responsive and accomendating. I certainly recommend this property.
This house was honestly perfect. My friends and I stayed for the weekend and the pictures do not do justice for the house. It was immaculately clean and well maintained. Robert, the owner, was always open for communication, VERY responsive and helpful. The views from the house are great; a lot of time was spent on the deck enjoying. I would 100% recommend this house to ANYONE as it is truly a perfect retreat. I will definitely be going back in the future. Thank you Robert.

The Black Bear Eagle Lodge is located on Pine Lane (on Hunter Mtn) overlooking a private lake in the exclusive and tranquil Colonel Chair subdivision that sits in the woods directly between the ski mountain and the Village of Hunter... Both are less than 1 mile away. Tannersville is 5 miles and Windham is only 9 miles away...
