Verified Buyer Reviewed by Fleeceadore from Wyoming on Monday, June 13, 2016Bought this shirt for my husband and he liked it so much I bought him another. These shirts are extremely well made and protect him from the suns rays and with the mesh backing, lighter weight fabric they are also cooler. He is on thyroid medication that makes him more vulnerable to the suns rays and he is too busy to put on sunscreen and won't monkey with that sort of thing, so these are perfect for him being in the elements working daily. Great for fishing days too! Usual true size is perfectly roomy, but not overly so. Fitted things are too hot in the summer, so this is just right. Fabric seems extremely nice and durable. Even one of the guys stopping by commented on what a nice shirt! The blue and lime check are wonderful colors and make him look cleanly handsome.

Reading the game
Reading The Game: While lesser mortals grind out victories with their patient shots, eliminating risks and playing the percentages, the truly gifted seem to conjure with time. They bring an unhurried genius to their game that allows them to play shots with an audacity that sometimes surprises even them.
Or at least this is how it appears to the spectator in the stands. But is there anything in the notion that some players are blessed with infinite time? That some genetic advantage allows a few lucky individuals to react as if the rest of the world were moving in slow motion?
One surprise has been that raw reaction times do not appear to be the answer. When top athletes take standard reaction time tests - such as hitting a switch as soon as it lights up they are no faster than average.
'There is surprisingly little difference between top-class athletes and good, fit ordinary people,' says Peter McLeod of the University of Oxford's Department of Experimental Psychology. 'In laboratory tests of reactions using unskilled tasks, most people show much the same reaction time of about a fifth of a second. So top-class athletes don't appear to be tapping into some generalised superiority,' says McLeod.
Even more surprising for those expecting an explanation in terms of a speedier nervous system, other research has shown that it takes nearly half a second for our minds to become properly conscious of fast-moving events. Measurements of the brain's electrical activity indicate it takes only about 20 milliseconds for nerve impulses to travel the distance between the sense organs and the brain. However, reaction-time tests show that it takes a minimum of 100 milliseconds before the brain can produce even the simplest action and nearer 200 milliseconds to make the more complex judgement involved in hitting a light switch. But research by Benjamin Libet, a physiologist at the University of California at Berkeley, suggests that becoming conscious of an event takes even longer.
His experiments show that it takes between 400 and 500 milliseconds for the brain to complete all the filtering and recognition processes needed to produce a subjective experience. This suggests that consciousness lags behind reality by up to half a second. So any rapid reactions shown by athletes must be achieved by subconscious processing.
A cricket or tennis player has about S milliseconds to hit a fast-moving ball - any sooner or later with the swing and the player will miss the ball. So the mystery is not that some people are so skilful but that anyone ever manages to strike a ball at all.
The advantage of an expert eye
To investigate the source of the top performer's advantage, sports psychologists begin by making a distinction between input and output - between perceptual and motor processes. The researchers assume that the gifted either manage to make sense of what they are seeing more quickly, or else they are able to unleash a more reliable and smoothly coordinated response - or both. So top performers are not faster than the rest of us in their raw reaction times - scores vary by about 25 milliseconds and there is no significant clustering of the skilled at the top of this range. But equally there is plenty of evidence that gifted players do use anticipation to quicken their responses and that they have a superior ability to read the game.
The advantage of an expert eye was first demonstrated away from the sports pitch in intellectual games such as chess. Research showed that grandmasters seem able to sum up a board at a glance. Given five seconds to look at a complex position, top players remembered the arrangement of 90 per cent of the pieces, compared with good club players who could manage only 50 per cent. It seems that grandmasters could 'chunk' their perception of the board - breaking what they saw into a small number of meaningful units - so increasing the apparent bandwidth of their processing.
But if the position of the chess pieces was random, not taken from a real game, the performance of both groups fell to the same level. Over the past decade, sports psychologists have taken games such as hockey, basketball and soccer, testing players with slides of meaningful and random field positions, and found the same perceptual chunking process at work. It seems that while information may not enter the brain of top performers significantly faster, where the novice experiences only a blur of details, the expert sees a well-ordered set of possibilities.
Such an ability to read the game allows the expert to anticipate and so bridge the split-second gap that exists between reality and the brain's perceptual processes. Abernethy says studies have shown that top performers are skilled at anticipating what their opponents are about to do. For example, a group of novice and professional badminton players were compared to see how quickly they could detect which way an opponent was about to flick a shuttle. While novices had to wait until they saw the racket head start to move, the experts could guess much earlier from preliminary movements of the body and arm.
'Experts do a good mechanical analysis of their opponent' s playing action and can tell whether a shot is going cross-court or down the line. Sometimes the cue may be no more than movements in the large muscles of the chest,' Abernethy says.
The same early response is true of tennis, where top players can tell from a server' s action whether the ball will land on their forehand or backhand, and of cricket, where a first-class bat will have decided whether to play off the back foot or front foot at least 100 milliseconds before a fast bowler has released the ball.
The interesting thing about such anticipation, says Abernethy, is that players seem to go by a gut feeling - a subconscious recognition - and the only way to discover the cues they are actually using is to film the bowler's or server's action and then see what is happening in the frame where the expert guess is made. 'You can't teach people anticipation by saying look at point A or point B. It just has to come with practice and players may never really know what they are reacting to,' says Abernethy.
Anticipating the unexpected
Top athletes become so good at anticipation that their responses can seem almost instantaneous, as if no reaction gap existed. However, players can be cruelly exposed whenever a ball or opponent does something unexpected. McLeod carried out one of the best-known experiments to demonstrate the 'incompressibility' of the blindspot in human reactions.
McLeod got three England batsmen, Allan Lamb, Wayne Larkins and Peter Willey, to face a bowling machine on a special matting pitch. Under the matting he placed a number of dowel rods to make the ball seam unpredictably. What McLeod found was that if the ball bounced sharply sideways closer than 200 milliseconds to the bat, then the batsmen would misplay the ball every time. No correction was possible.
Anticipation studies seem to suggest that the superior reactions of top performers are due largely to learning rather than any innate factor. But, as Abernethy says, many people practise long and hard, yet few turn into a McEnroe or a Gascoigne. So it could be that the genetic component at play is a greater 'trainability' of the nervous system.
For example, some players might find it easier to develop anticipation skills because they have been born with better visuo-spatial and pattern-recognition abilities. Certainly, one of the distinguishing features of both McEnroe and Gascoigne appears to be their imagination - their ability to visualise more possibilities in a given situation.
But part of the impression that gifted athletes give of having infinite time also comes from the silky smoothness of the way they make their shots. Again, some sports psychologists suspect that the genetic component of such motor skill may not lie in some pure measure of coordination but in the trainability of a person's nervous system.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that in learning a skill, whether it is playing tennis, driving a car or unscrewing a bottle cap, there is a progression from crude, conscious control of the action to smooth, automatic performance. Medical scanners that can track brain blood flows are providing neurological evidence of this progression.
In the early stages of learning a skill, the higher conscious parts of the brain - the cortex and basal ganglia - are most active. But as the skill is mastered, these areas drop out of the picture and control is taken over by the cerebellum, the brain's specialised movement centre, says John Stein, a physiologist at the University of Oxford.
The cerebellum used to be thought of as just a memory store for motor routines - a blind, inanimate warehouse which produced stereotyped responses when triggered by a command from higher consciousness. However, there is evidence to show that the cerebellum has considerable - albeit unconscious - intelligence. The cortex may set the global goals but the cerebellum can improvise to meet them.
Stein says support for this view comes from the discovery that there are two routes by which sensations reach the cerebellum. There is a cortical route where sensations are mapped first on the cortex (forming a conscious picture) and then passed down to the cerebellum. But there is also a direct route from the eyes to the cerebellum, bypassing the cortex. This route quickly delivers the information needed to control subconscious skills.
A 'high-IQ' cerebellum?
The tempting conclusion is that gifted athletes may simply be born with a 'high-lQ' cerebellum. They may have a specialised motor genius that allows them to be more creative and agile in executing shots. While it is too early to rule out such a 'raw advantage' hypothesis, sports psychologists such as John Fazey of the University College of North Wales at Bangor believe the explanation could be more subtle. Fazey says that it might simply be that some people are better at automating skills. Something in their make-up may allow them to download more of a complicated sporting action from clumsy conscious control to smooth subconscious performance. Whatever produces a skilled cerebellum, the difference is obvious. Top tennis and cricket players never seem to have to remind themselves to move their feet or turn their shoulders because these preparatory movements appear to be so automatic. Their bodies snap into position, leaving them poised to strike a clean shot. But weekend amateurs find themselves forever wrestling with their own limbs, mechanically trying to get all the parts in the right place, then finding they are forced to make a cramped swipe because the ball is already upon them.
Somewhat unkindly, sports psychologists describe the amateur's plight as one of near skeletomuscular anarchy. Yet measurements of muscle and nerve activity show this to be an apt description. Where the nervous system of a skilled performer delivers small, accurate bursts of instructions to the limbs, producing a smooth response, that of the unskilled fires off blasts of often contradictory messages, creating a jerky, awkward movement as opposing muscles end up pushing and pulling at the same time.
Putting all this evidence together, sports science still cannot say precisely what makes a McEnroe or a Maradona, or an Agassi. It is obvious that years of dedicated training play a huge part. Also, differences in childhood stimulation may be important - Agassi, for instance, was taught to bat a dangling balloon while still in his highchair. Such stories are typical of great athletes. Then there is the contribution of genes, although the likelihood is that the genetic component of exceptional skill has more to do with a capacity to benefit from training than with a set of raw ingredients such as reaction speed.
But it seems that gifted performers are better at using anticipation to cover for a lagging brain. By reading their opponent' s game, the skilled prime themselves to react to what they imagine will happen rather than waiting until it does. They create a 'virtual reality' which allows them to act as if consciousness was indeed instantaneous.
Coupled to this perceptual priming is a smooth and intelligent execution of body movement. The gifted player's brain not only knows what it should do, it also has the automated skills to carry out the actions with a minimum of fuss and maximum of accuracy.
So the spectator is right after all. The gifted are conjurors of time. They buy extra time with anticipation and avoid losing time by automating their responses. The irony is that if a McEnroe or a Gascoigne wants to appreciate their own skills then, like any other spectator, they will have to wait the split-second or so it takes for their conscious awareness to catch up with the shots their subconscious processes have just chosen to play. And any feeling they might have had of being there at the time was just an illusion.

Views from connections ahead of Saturday's Winning Fair Juvenile Hurdle at Fairyhouse.
- Related Content
Adriana Des Mottes, Abbyssial and All Pepper form a formidable three-pronged attack for Willie Mullins in Saturday's Winning Fair Juvenile Hurdle at Fairyhouse.
Adriana Des Mottes made a hugely impressive start to her Irish career when striking by 18 lengths at Punchestown on New Year's Eve, while Abbyssial, who carries the colours of the brilliant Florida Pearl, is two from two since joining Mullins.
French recruit All Pepper is an intriguing third challenger for the Closutton handler, having been strongly supported for the Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in recent days.
Stable jockey Ruby Walsh takes the mount on Adriana Des Mottes, with Abbyssial and All Pepper ridden by Paul Townend and David Casey respectively.
"It's hard to know which would be the best. They are all impressive horses and each of them won on their last start," said Mullins.
"Certainly the mares' allowance must be a factor for Adriana Des Mottes and Ruby is riding her.
"There has been plenty of talk about All Pepper. He doesn't show me much at home, but looks as though he will be better on the racetrack.
"Abbyssial has been impressive both times he's won and deserves to take his chance as well.
"The conditions should be fine for the two Irish horses and I believe All Pepper won in heavy ground in France as well."
Mullins' trio feature in a field of 12 declared runners, with his brother, Tony Mullins, saddling Blue Hell.
The Barry Connell-owned youngster was beaten a nose by All Pepper at Nantes in October and also makes his Irish debut.
Mullins said: "He is having a run and with all the bad weather we've had, we're not really sure what we have.
"He is fit and well and we like what we've seen at home, but because of the weather he probably hasn't had the ideal preparation.
"We've given him an entry in the Fred Winter and we'll find out on Saturday whether he's a Fred Winter horse."
Trainer Ken Condon is also targeting the Fred Winter with Gerdago, who has won once and placed twice from four starts over hurdles.
The County Kildare handler feels his charge has plenty on his plate, but is keen to give him another run before the Festival.
Condon said: "On the Irish ratings it looks as though he's got quite a bit to do, but he needs to run somewhere.
"He's in the Fred Winter and that's the plan. He's rated 118 in Ireland, but the English handicapper rates him 130, so he'll definitely get in.
"In reality, he's probably somewhere in between, but we'll see how he goes this weekend."
Leading owner JP McManus is represented by the Aidan O'Brien-trained Plinth and Charles O'Brien's Henry Higgins.
Plinth was third in the Spring Juvenile Hurdle at Leopardstown earlier this month, with Henry Higgins a well-beaten fifth in the same race.
McManus' racing manager, Frank Berry, said: "Plinth was well beaten the last day and we're hoping he can run a bit better on Saturday.
"It looks a very competitive race, but if he can jump a bit better hopefully he'll run well and we'll learn a lot more.
"Henry Higgins has a bit to find with the others in the race, but he's in good form and we'll let him take his chance."
Orgilgo Bay was last of six in the same Leopardstown Grade One earlier this month, but trainer John McConnell feels his charge is better than he showed that day.
He said: "We weren't too disappointed with his last run as we knew straight away after the race we'd gone too quick, but he's been fine since.
"It looks another hot race on Saturday, but we're hopeful he'll run a bit better than he did in Leopardstown.
"He's in the Fred Winter and the Triumph Hurdle and at the moment the Fred Winter would look the more likely, but that might change if he were to win on Saturday."
Gordon Elliott's Halling's Treasure has been placed on each of his three maiden hurdle starts.
The trainer said: "He's had some nice placed runs. The race has worked out stronger than we thought it would be. If we sneak a place and some prize-money we'll be happy."
Achtung, Bertimont and Elishpour complete the field.

Kids and Families to Celebrate a Day of Discovery, Fitness and Fun at Piedmont Park
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia's Inaugural Kids' Wheel & Run Event to Benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta
ATLANTA – September 29, 2011 – Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia (BCBSGa) is kicking off its inaugural BCBSGa Kid's Wheel & Run event at Piedmont Park on Oct. 22, 2011. Rain or shine, families will experience a day of discovery, fitness and fun with something to offer kids of all skill levels and ages, including children in strollers and wheelchairs. Proceeds from this event will benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta and Strong4Life at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, two organizations that also share the common goal of creating healthier generations of Georgians.
The day's events include a 5K Family Fun Run-Walk-Wheel, the Kids' One-Miler Race (12 and under), and the Determination Dashes & Obstacle Challenge Course (six and under). Guests can also embark on a quest for wellness through "Healthyville", the event expo filled with exploration, give-a-ways and activities. Radio Disney's Discovery Stage will keep attendees entertained with their fun tunes and "Shake it Up! Dance Party, as well as hula-hoop and jump rope contests.
"The BCBSGa Kids' Wheel and Run event aims to support the fight against childhood obesity by engaging Atlanta's children and families in a day of fun activities, health and wellness education, and fitness – showing how being active, eating healthily and getting fit can be fun," said Morgan Kendrick, President, BCBSGa. "Piedmont Park is the perfect outdoor venue, and we couldn't think of two better beneficiaries than Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta. This event further reinforces our mission of improving the lives of those we serve and the health of our communities."
According to a State Health Facts report, Georgia's childhood and adolescent obesity rate in 2007 was at 37.3 percent, and it has been increasing each year – Georgia has the second highest rate of childhood obesity in the country.
"Childhood obesity in Georgia is a medical crisis, and nearly 40 percent of Georgia children are overweight or obese," said Lucy Klausner, Director, Development and Strategic Partnerships Child Wellness, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. "We applaud Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia's work on the Kids' Wheel & Run event. One of our goals is to help Georgia kids and families take simple steps to become more active and adopt healthy habits. The Kids' Wheel & Run aims to do the same, and we are excited to be a part of the event."
"Our Club kids understand the importance of exercising their mind, body and soul," said Catherine Bass, Director of strategic development, Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta. "BCBSGa is a supporter of our Triple Play programs, and this event dovetails nicely into what we aim to accomplish in our clubs. In fact, we are bringing 100 of our Club members out to the event, who are looking forward to participating in the day's races and activities." Organizers anticipate 2,500 event attendees with 500 registered race participants at the 2011 inaugural event at Piedmont Park. Registration for the event is free and open to the public at www.kidswheelandrun.com/bcbsga. Registration is required in order to participate and to reserve your t-shirt and give-a-ways, and hold your spot in the day's event, and in lieu of a race participation fee, donations to the event beneficiaries will be accepted. The BCBSGa Kids' Wheel & Run event will take place on Saturday, Oct. 22, at Piedmont Park, with packet pick-up and day-of registration starting at 8 a.m. Race events will take place from 9 to 11 a.m., and the "Healthyville" expo-activities, contests, games and entertainment occurring from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Additional race specifics (time, course, etc.), directions and parking information can be found at www.kidswheelandrun.com/bcbsga.

Amphoe Mueang, Phitsanulok
Chula Mani Temple is situated on the eastern banks of the Nan River approximately five kilometers from town. It is the oldest temple in Phitsanuliok, believed to be built before the Sukhothai kingdom. According to the history, King Borom Trai Lokanat, one of the great kings of the Ayutthaya Kingdom, ordered a construction of the main ordination hall and ordained as monks along with his 2,348 followers here in 1416. The temple's pagoda is constructed with a Khmer style, which attracts archeological students and admirers to explore the beautiful and intricate swan designs. Another highlight is a holy footprint and a stone inscription built by King Narai the Great of Ayutthaya situated inside the Mondop (building).

Fit tips for D cups and above:
Band The band should be wide, stretchy, and fit snugly against your body. "Any gaps between you and the band will cause chafing," explains Baxter. You should be able to comfortably take a deep breath.
Cups Breasts should be held within the cups without overflowing. "To test coverage, jump up and down to see if breasts spill over the top," suggests Baxter.
Straps Wider straps with minimal stretch help disperse weight and prevent bouncing. "Adjustable straps are also great because they offer a customized fit for better support," says Baxter.
Fabric You want a sports bra that moves moisture away from your body quickly. "Moisture management helps keep the bra from chafing," says Baxter. There are a variety of moisture wicking fabrics (from nylon to patented materials) on the market, go for the one that is soft and comfortable against your skin.
Using these tips, I tested a variety of sports bras and found several I love (there is hope!). These are the best of the best!
1. Moving Comfort Jubralee (34D)
Love this sports bra. It's so comfortable I forgot about the bra completely while running. The seam-free molded cups offer great coverage, the Velcro straps allow you to adjust exactly to your shoulders, and the fabric is soft and wicks moisture away. The band fit snugly, didn't irritate my skin, and I felt secure running.
Great For: High impact, such as running and circuit training
$54, movingcomfort.com
2. Under Armour Armour Bra (34D)
You can tell a lot of thought was put into the design of this sports bra. It's lightweight, easy to move around in, but breasts feel secure and supported. The adjustable straps don't dig into shoulders, cups are padded for shape and coverage, and the side of the bra has a soft mesh flap to alleviate any pinching or bulging side boob. Plus, the material is soft, smooth, and wicks away sweat.
Great For: High impact, such as running and circuit training
$58, underarmour.com
3. Sugoi Jackie Power Bra (Large)
Perfect for Pilates and yoga, the Jackie Power Bra is lightweight and offers moderate support. The foam-lined molded cups offer medium compression and the soft helix fabric is flexible, comfortable, and keeps you dry.
Great For: Medium impact, such as strength training, yoga, and Pilates
$50, sugoi.com
4. Moving Comfort Rebound Racer (34D)
I'm generally not a fan of the racerback style, but this sports bra won me over. Surprisingly, the straps were comfortable on my neck, offering balanced support. The strap fabric was flexible enough to allow for easy movement without bothering my shoulder blades. The front Velcro straps allow for a personalized fit, the snap back closure keeps the band tight, and the seam-free cups minimize bounce.
Great For: High impact, such as running and circuit training
$50, movingcomfort.com
5. 2XU High Impact Support Bra (Large)
With a lightweight bare minimum approach, this easy-to-wear sports bra features (Power X), a stretchy but firm fabric. The double rear clasp and adjustable straps allow for an almost custom fit. Cups encapsulate breasts for moderate support.
Great for: Medium impact, such as strength training, yoga, and Pilates
$70, 2xu.com
6. Athleta Glory Bra (34D)
While I wouldn't run a mile in this sports bra, it is comfortable, easy to get on and off, and great for low-impact activities. The underwire lifts and separates breasts to avoid the uni-boob look, and the molded cups offer shape and full coverage.
Great For: Low impact, such as walking and yoga
$56, athleta.gap.com

Two shots fired in cemetery standoff, no one hurt
Mon, 04 Aug 2014 21:02:51 GMT —
An incident that started in Kirksville led to a standoff at a Heartland cemetery Sunday.
Sullivan County Sheriff Roger Smiley said his office was alerted by the Kirksville Police Department that a man from Kirksville was at the Greencastle Cemetery threatening to harm himself.
The sheriff says, during the incident, the man fired his gun into the air twice. The weapon was not pointed at anyone, and no threats were made. A trained negotiator was called in to talk with the man, who was crouched behind a tombstone, not far from his vehicle. The incident started late Sunday afternoon. The man gave himself up about 10:30 p.m. Sunday.
There were no injuries. Smiley said the man is not facing any charges in the incident. Kirksville police were called as mutual aid for Sullivan County. Also at the scene were the Adair County Sheriff's Office and the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

I saw this color "game" over on How About Orange and it was fun and not silly imho. Some of the questions really made me think.
They say I am ...
They are for those who crave space and a clean canvas on which to display beloved objects; or for those who long for a clear, sunlit expanse. White is about purity, elegance and simplicity and in all of our variations, the infusion of light is key.
While the majority of my house is not white, it is a creamy yellow, and light was the primary thing on my mind when we renovated. I wanted clean light space. I think Pittsburgh Paints has me nailed.
My secondary is...
It's a weekend in the countryside, the smell of freshly cut grass, or fresh basil growing on your kitchen windowsill. A friendly color, green symbolizes renewal and embodies our thoughts of springtime. Need I note that I already have a forest green bedroom???
Test it out, and see what suggestions they make for you and how much they confirm some of your color choices.

I will have to have a go at that! I've painted all my walls crisp white.
I did create the illustration add-ons into my pictures on my blog. I used both Illustrator and Photoshop.
Firstly I hand drew my illustrations, then I scanned them in. Then I placed them in Illustrator and hit auto trace. I then changed the colour to white.
Next I copied the illustration and pasted onto my photo in Photoshop.
I'm not to sure how you go about creating your own illustrations without using Creative Suite programs. I hope that helps!

Curiosity Mars Rover's Route from Landing to 'The Kimberley' WaypointThis map shows the route driven by NASA's Curiosity Mars rover from the "Bradbury Landing" location where it landed in August 2012 (the start of the line in upper right) to a major waypoint called "the Kimberley." The rover reached the Kimberley with a 98-foot (30 meter) drive on the 589th Martian day, or sol, of the rover's work on Mars (April 1, 2014).
The Kimberley (formerly called "KMS-9") was selected as a major waypoint for the mission because of the diversity of rock types distinguishable in orbital images, exposed close together at this location in a decipherable geological relationship to each other. The base image for this map is from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. North is up. The dark ground south of the rover's route has dunes of dark, wind-blown material at the foot of Mount Sharp. The scale bar at lower right represents one kilometer (0.62 mile). For broader-context images of the area, see http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA17355 , http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA16064 and http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA16058 .

AHS Member Robins,
There was another obvious omission made in Jim Wilkins' comments re the
Fall Board Meeting. No mention was made of the implementation of IAC
policy/program which was responsible for or resulted in reduced
donations of plants for the Convention auction. Since unregistered
plants were not accepted, fewer plants were sold. Anticipated revenues
were estimated in the Budget to be approximately 24,000 dollars. Less
revenue resulted according to some people close to events of the
Auction. There has been no report of these losses of revenue. Why Not?
Perhaps becauses were substantial (as much as 50 percent of previous
years?) Now that reduced revenues and a high level of spending are
apprearing to threaten the fiscal stability of the Budget, the Board
appears to be seeking other funding through "the Sharing Circle". It has
accepted a proposal bearing this name to develop the authority to use
funds earmarked for other purposes (memorial and research, for example)
and apply them to budget items as necessary. This fungibility appears
suspect. Does it violate principles embodied in Article IV (Finance) of
the Bylaws?
Perhaps those who have developed and promoted so strongly the IAC
policies /program/rules, which are responsible for the losses in
revenue, should offer to make up the losses from their own pockets (
putting their money where their mouth is, so to speak), instead of
asking others to make up losses due to their poor policies. They propose
increasing membership fees and using temporary loans from the "Sharing
A simple solution to solve these financial deficit problems is to scrap
the rigid policies/rules of NOT accepting new, rare, not yet registered
but otherwise wonderful plants for sale at the Convention Auction.
Another simple solution would be to abolish the 300 dollar stipend which
perhaps 40 Board members receive for attending Board Meetings 300 x 40 x
2 =24,000 dollars)
There! I have increased revenues by 10,000 or 15,000 dollars and reduced
expenditures by another 24,000 dollars. Or have I mis-calculated?
Perhaps someone on the Board will comment or correct any
mis-calculations I may have made?
