No, GM Is NOT Losing $49,000 On Every Volt It Builds
Like what you see? Follow me on Twitter.
An otherwise informative Reuters article on the economics of the Chevy Volt makes the erroneous claim that "GM is still losing as much as $49,000 on each Volt it builds."
No, it isn't. The reporter and editor of the story just don't understand mircoeconomics.
I take a back seat to nobody in criticizing GM for its outrageous bailout, its poor management, its rapacious unions, and its money-sucking boondoggle called the Volt. If you doubt this, then see here, here, and here.
But I try to rely on arguments with a factual basis. If I didn't care about that, I'd just become a liberal and wallow in the smug self-satisfaction that comes from knowing that real-world results matter less than the fact that I care.
Besides which, a reliance on demonstrably false claims is injurious to the long-term project of convincing the skeptical of the validity of conservative arguments.
Which is why I bother to point out that Reuters' claim of a $49,000 loss per unit is clearly the byproduct of the author's economic ignorance.
The calculation confuses sunk costs - i.e. the $1.2 billion GM spent developing the Volt - with marginal costs - i.e. the incremental cost of parts, labor and other inputs to produce the next Volt. Spreading out the sunk costs across the Volt's modest production volume gives us an average all-in cost, which is important to know for the purpose of analyzing the overall profitability of the Volt, but it is not the right benchmark to gauge whether or not GM is better off producing that next unit.
The article cites estimates of $20,000 - $32,000 to build an incremental Volt. If these estimates are accurate, then GM can discount the $39,995 base price significantly and still earn a profit on every incremental Volt it sells.
That doesn't justify the Volt's existence, because they plainly have no hope of selling enough Volts to earn back their $1.2 billion in sunk costs, let alone turn a profit on the enterprise. But that is very different from claiming that GM is losing money - i.e. is made financially worse off - with every Volt it sells.
And there are other concerns raised by the article.
One is the discounting in an effort to juice sales, perhaps not coincidentally in an election year. GM seems to be aggressively discounting leases, which is especially interesting because it can mask losses through the term of the lease through optimistic assumptions about the residual value of the car when it comes off lease.
This seems especially risky since there is no real history of used plug-in hybrid values on which to base such estimates. So I would not be at all surprised to see that the surge in Volt leases in 2012 results in a sizable write-down related to lower-than-expected residual values in 2014. Which happens not to be a Presidential election year.
It is also a red flag that GM seems to have abandoned any pretense of turning the Volt into a profitable product line in the next few years:
"It's true, we're not making money yet" on the Volt, said Doug Parks, GM's vice president of global product programs and the former Volt development chief, in an interview. The car "eventually will make money. As the volume comes up and we get into the Gen 2 car, we're going to turn (the losses) around."
Whether or not volume ever reaches profitable is uncertain. What is certain is that the Gen 2 car, and any and all successors, will entail their own development costs, just like the $1.2 billion spent developing the first generation Volt, about which GM used to dream the same big dreams it now has for the Gen 2 iteration.
The Volt is a loss-making enterprise even with the massive subsidies it enjoys. It is an easy enough target on the merits. There is no need to risk one's credibility to bash it with an ill-informed argument from a reporter who doesn't grasp Econ 101.

Much better analysis that Reuters. Thank you.ReplyDelete
Is this accounting method consistent in the auto industry for all models ?ReplyDeleteReplies
It's just not how you would measure marginal profitability, which is how Reuters positioned it.Delete
The sunk costs are costs, but they don't go up or down based on whether GM builds any more Volts or not. The $49,000 figure would be an accurate epitaph for the Volt product line if a) GM killed it today and b) the technology had no remaining value. Neither of those conditions hold.
I hope this helps.
Given your analysis, the Reuters article may represent an optimistic view rather than acknowledging the $1.2B in sunk costs that they pretty well know they will never recover. Doing some very quick calculations, if GM had a 30% margin on the Volt, and assuming sales figures remain equal to current levels, they should recover their development costs by 2076 (not adjusted for inflation, so I guess it would be even later using NPV).ReplyDeleteReplies
Isn't it striking that GM now acknowledges they won't make any money on the 1st generation Volt, and reverts to the Pee Wee Herman "I meant to do that" defense?Delete
Obviously GM hopes that technological and cost advances will turn the Volt into more of a mass market vehicle, and I'd wager that based on that hope they will continue to throw good money after bad through the development of successive generations of the Volt, with prosperity always remaining just around the corner.
I was thinking the same thing, and fortunately the original article provided both sunk and marginal costs.ReplyDelete
The real question for GM is the value of the technology created with the Volt. They have created their own version of a hybrid/electric system, and from reviews it seems like an excellent system. Let's say they eventually used it on every GM vehicle made. If they do, it may well have been a wise investment since it makes them way ahead in the fuel economy race. If they put the Volt's system in their most economical cars, they can probably sell a lot more high-end pickups (where the profits are) than they could otherwise.
Now, the odds are that this is a really expensive system to build and so you can't put it in a low-end car. But then again, look at how Toyota is expanding the Prius range. I seem to remember they invested comparable amounts into the original Prius and really didn't expect to get it back. Now they have. Perhaps the Volt can work out in a similar way.
On the other hand, the Volt is the child of politics and I think that's a big reason it hasn't succeeded. I think they should have made it a Cadillac so it would appeal more to upscale early adopters, just as Teslas are. For $60k-odd they could have a beautifully assembled, richly detailed car that would have really looked like something great. And they would have made money on every one.
Well the plant capacity that is represented by the sunk costs could be used to make vehicles that contribut better to recovering the sunk costs. Sink enough costs without recovery and you are sunk.ReplyDelete
Great response.ReplyDelete
As far as the technology investment goes, I love my Volt and I was was of those people who were never going to buy a GM car again. I'm up to 620 MPG.
I bought the Volt because when I did the math it came out a bargain. We've reached a tipping point where the cost of gas plus maintenance on a non Volt over 5 years is going to cost you $15K. Add the $9k from CA and the Feds and my car looks $24K cheaper.
The Volt gives the lie to the conspiracy theories concerning the demise of GM's earlier electric vehicle -- the EV1.ReplyDelete
The EV1 was supposedly killed by the oil companies or some other evil corporate entity.
And here's the Volt -- many, many years later, newer technology, newer battery technology, funding by the frigging United States government and extolled by His Holiness Obama The Magnificent himself, and it still doesn't sell and no matter how you cut it, will never make back its development costs.
No conspiracy needed, coal powered, taxpayer subsidized, UAW-built cars are not ready for the road.
Lost in the hubbub of GM's per Volt loss, is the fact that the number one trade in on the Volt is the Toyota Prius. The fact that owners are trading up from the Prius to the more expensive Volt says to me that it's a competitive product in the hybrid/EV segment, if not in terms of price then in terms of appeal to that target market.ReplyDelete
That market, though, will likely never naturally grow to more than single digit percentages of total vehicle sales.
I think the honorable Sen. Blutarsky is someone inaccurate when he says that future generations of the Volt will have their own sunk development costs, making it sound like GM's going to spend another $1.2 billion on Volt version 2.0. It's unlikely that the 2nd gen Volt development will cost anywhere near the cost of developing a completely new drivetrain and control system from scratch.
As for the Pee Wee Herman response, it's absolutely true that car companies make models that aren't themselves profitable. Ford lost $1,000 on every 1956 Continental Mark II they sold and that was when $1K was real money. GM lost even more money on every '57 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham. Toyota lost money on the Prius for years. Some cars are loss leaders, like cheap turkey at the grocery store just before Thanksgiving. McDonalds might break even on a burger but they rake it on on fries and coffee.
<blockquote>I think the honorable Sen. Blutarsky is someone inaccurate when he says that future generations of the Volt will have their own sunk development costs, making it sound like GM's going to spend another $1.2 billion on Volt version 2.0.ReplyDelete
Didn't sound like that at all to me. Common sense says the development cost of any future Volt will depend on many things but whatever they are they will not be zero. I figure the dear Senator wished to pre-empt quibblers by noting that any Volt follow-ons will have their own sunk costs.

It is completely predictable that some Prius drivers would turn them in for Volts. Neither car makes financial sense to anyone on a tight budget, but both are designed for the smug liberals who seek to feel morally superior to their neighbors with an empty gesture to "save the planet".ReplyDelete
But I try to rely on arguments with a factual basis. If I didn't care about that, I'd just become a liberal and wallow in the smug self-satisfaction that comes from knowing that real-world results matter less than the fact that I care.ReplyDelete

Not A Restaurant Review - Mezzaluna on Gregory
I had lunch at the freshly opened Mezzaluna now occupying the former Papa Keno's space at Gregory and Rockhill (formerly Waldeaux Wines and Liquors, and Circle K when we moved into the neighborhood 20+ years ago). Before I get started describing the experience, I want to make a quick acknowledgment that I am not a real restaurant reviewer. I fear that sometimes we bloggers get a little full of ourselves, and think we're the equivalent of a legitimate restaurant reviewer, because we go to restaurants and write about our experiences.
That's kind of like claiming you're a football player after tossing the ball around on the lawn, or claiming you're a golfer after a round at Cool Crest. Just because you go through some of the motions doesn't mean you've played the whole game. Tiger Woods does more than putt on felt, and there are a lot of Xs and Os in a real football game.
Real reviewers know a lot more than I do, and work a lot harder. I'm about to spout off on a restaurant I have visited once, by myself, for lunch, during their "soft" opening. I have no experience in opening a restaurant, and I don't have any advanced culinary training. I haven't written a ton of reviews, and I haven't studied the work of the great restaurant reviewers.
A proper restaurant reviewer would approach his or her task with a wealth of experience in the restaurant and journalism businesses, and would visit several times with multiple friends to get a sense of the breadth of the menu and the skill of the service. It's easy to laud or lambast a restaurant for one meal, but it's not a fair assessment, nor is it particularly helpful to the reader. Your praise of a lamb chop doesn't give a vegetarian much of a guess about what to expect.
I write all this not to belittle those of us who happen to publish on a blog - there are some top-notch true restaurant reviewers on blogs who have the skills and put in the effort to do first-rate reviews. I write all this simply to pay proper homage to those who work while I play, and to heighten the readers' awareness of the rigor required of real restaurant reviewers.
Now that all that is out of the way, I'm happy to be welcoming Mezzaluna to the neighborhood. It's a small Italian restaurant with a menu full of the basics, a good wine list and a nicely-done beer list, enhanced by a few craft brews on tap. The downstairs space is nice but a little utilitarian, with floor-to-ceiling retail coolers covering one entire wall, left over from the space's days as a liquor store. The upstairs space is surprisingly elegant, though, with cloth-covered chairs, white tablecloths and a pleasant breeze when the garage-door walls are opened. The guys at the table next to me ordered a bottle of wine (well-served by the waiter who swore it was the first time he had ever, in his life, opened a bottle of wine), and I envied the prospect of staying there for the afternoon, sipping wine with friends at tree-level.
The menu included several tempting options, all within the $8-12 range, including all the classics like ravioli, chicken parmesan, caesar salads, etc. I sought and accepted the waiter's advice in choosing between the Pizza Mezzaluna (a carnivore's concoction with garlic) and the lasagna. He recommended the lasagna, and it was a generous serving of well-prepared meat, cheese and pasta. It stood out for its restraint - some lasagna beats you over the head with dark red marinara sauce and spicy sausage, but this one was more elegant. The meat featured ground veal and a delicate hand with the spices, and the sauce was tamed with cream. I'd recommend it highly.
I visited the restaurant on its third day, and there were the expected kinks in service. The credit card machine was not working, and the waiter was stretched too thin serving both upstairs and downstairs. Given his apparent lack of experience (never having opened a bottle of wine), he did a fantastic job, with a friendly, relaxed style while running up and down the stairs.
I look forward to returning sometime soon for dinner, and sharing wine with friends in the upstairs space. Mezzaluna should thrive as an elegant addition to the neighborhood.

Horrible. An Afghan 15 year-old child bride describes being locked and tortured by her husband and in-laws.Can you guess how she was rescued from this evil P.O.S.?
Sahar Gul told officials: "My mother-in-law pulled out my nails."
The BBC reported:
A video given to the BBC shows the extent of the injuries suffered by a 15 year-old Afghan child bride who was locked up and tortured by her husband.
The girl was left starving after being detained by him and his family for several months.
The case came to light this week when police rescued the teenager, Sahar Gul, who had been locked up in the basement of her in-laws' house.
Police say that she had had her nails and clumps of hair pulled out.
In addition they say she had chunks of flesh cut out with pliers.
Sahar Gul was married off to a 30-year-old man around seven months ago, when she was just 14 years old. Her parents contacted police after not being able to see her for several months.Yep. She was sold to a 30-year old pedophile by her parents. Said pedophile and family then proceeded to torture and mutilate her. I will assume (based on history) that she failed to "perform marital relations" as prescribed by the pedophilic-Sharia law.
When her loving parents failed to hear from their most valuable property, they called the cops.
Her parents should be locked up as well!!!
Another reason why we should be seeking to utterly destroy this fallacy of a culture. We should not be seeking to come to peace accord with them. Doing so is a travesty of all the American blood that has been shed on that desert.
More from News.Com.Au:
Three women including the girls's mother in-law were arrested over the case but her husband fled.News.Com.Au says that she was sold by HER BROTHER:
The Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission logged 1026 cases of violence against women in the second quarter of 2011 compared with 2700 cases for the whole of 2010.
An Oxfam report in October said 87 per cent of Afghan women reported having experienced physical, sexual or psychological violence or forced marriage.
Her brother had sold her to her husband about seven months ago for $US5000 ($4898).Again, the problems from a violent male-dominated culture. Why didn't the parent's have a say-so in this. I bet they did. I bet they told the brother to sell their daughter and kept the money. That is what they do.

About Leigh Anne Tuohy
Dubbed a "warrior princess" by author Michael Lewis in his best-selling book The Blind Side, Leigh Anne Tuohy is the inspirational matriarch of the Tuohy family. While studying at the University of Mississippi, better known as Ole Miss, Leigh Anne met Sean Tuohy, her husband since 1982. Both were active and ambitious college students: Leigh Anne was a cheerleader, campus favorite, homecoming maid and an active member of her sorority, Kappa Delta; Sean became a record-breaking SEC basketball champion and still holds several SEC assist records. They are the proud parents of daughter Collins and sons Sean, Jr., and Michael Oher. In February 2013, Leigh Anne and the whole Tuohy family were on the sidelines cheering Michael and the Baltimore Ravens on to his first Super Bowl victory. Oher then went on to play as Offensive Tackle for the NFL's Carolina Panthers.
Leigh Anne is a New York Times best-selling author. Her latest book, Turn Around: Reach Out, Give Back, and Get Moving, challenges readers to re-think what giving really means. Turn Around is a five-day-per-week devotional that uses scripture as a springboard to reconsider what it means to give sacrificially, generously, and immediately—many times, without having to leave your own community. The book was released June 2015.
Leigh Anne inspires audiences to recognize the full potential of individuals in their community—and to find value in those who society has deemed valueless. She shares her personal "Blind Side" observations, from seeing Michael Oher for the first time to how the experience changed her as a person—and the Tuohys as a family. "He had a much greater impact on our lives than we did on his life," says Leigh Anne. One of the country's most sought after motivational speakers, Leigh Anne has given lectures to a broad spectrum of audiences from religious groups and town halls to some of the country's largest corporations.
The chronicle of the Tuohy family's life, Michael Lewis' New York Times number one best-seller The Blind Side, went on to become a record-breaking Hollywood blockbuster that earned more than $300 million and has become the number one sports film in history. The film boldly depicts both the struggles and triumphs of building a blended family; Sandra Bullock won her first Academy Award for her portrayal of Leigh Anne in the film.

Typically, fishing kayaks are too unstable and uncomfortable to be effectively motorized, and the maximum that anglers are willing to do with their kayak is to outfit it with a weak electric trolling motor, which is a solution for short term and short range, and not well suited for moving water.
Pedal driven kayaks present the same problems as kayaks propelled by a paddle, plus some more.
But Wavewalk offers a line of patented catamaran kayaks that are more stable than other designs, as well as more ergonomic, enough to power them with an outboard motor and drive them comfortably.
A motorized fishing kayak extends its owner's range of activities, and reduces fatigue that's always associated with human powered propulsion.
Here is a playlist of videos that show various Wavewalk® kayak models outfitted with outboard motors of different power:
Watching these videos could give the viewer an idea of what's possible now in this fast moving field.
And looking forward to more powerful solutions, a greater range of travel, more stability, and improved comfort, here is Wavewalk's Series 4 (S4):

Here we are once again at Music Time of The Week! This time around, I decided to check out two new-to-me acts from Egypt!
Portrait Avenue
Formed in 2008, Portrait Avenue began life as an instrumental act, but recruited a vocalist by the end of 2009. Their music has an experimental/indie sound, and their 8-member lineup includes a violinist and a keyboardist (and Sparta the dog). They have previously won Egyptian's Got Talent Battle of the Bands, and the Red Bull Bedroom Jam competition in the Middle East.
Something that really struck me with Portrait Avenue's music was the vocals, which were high and soft for what I'd usually expect from a male vocalist. Still, the vocalist are very easy to listen to!
The band's music strikes me as something that would be popular as 'chillout' music, or - given a more thumping beat and a faster tempo - clubbing music. It's interesting to hear such a similar sound played at a slower tempo, and I quite like it--really peaceful and relaxing!
Portrait Avenue on Facebook
Massive Scar Era
Nicknamed Mascara, this heavy metal band formed in Alexandria in 2005, though are now based in Cairo, Egypt, and also Vancouver in Canada.
As with Portrait Avenue, the vocals really stood out to me, this time in that the vocalist (and founder) is female, which seems rare for heavy metal bands, though this is only based on my minimal knowledge! Massive Scar Era began as an all-female band, only gaining more members in 2011.
The core of their music has the kind of heavy metal sound I'd expect, but including violin and classical and Middle Eastern influences (particularly noticable in some of the vocals) gives them a more unique twist.
Massive Scar Era's music isn't really my thing because I'm really picky when it comes to growling/shouting in music. However, it's really great to see a female presence in such a male-dominated genre!
Massive Scar Era Official Website
Well, these two acts couldn't have been much more different in genre--yet despite that still had similarities in other ways, such as surprising vocals and the presence of violin. Goes to show that genres certainly don't restrict content!

Few artists are as charismatic, friendly and cutting edge as Preston Thomas. He's certainly a man of many talents. So many in fact, that his October is completely booked. This weekend features his photographic series Through My Lens, A Black Girl's Magic at the Beverly Art Walk, next week he will be giving a lecture at the DuSable Museum entitled Dance Encounters Architecture for the Chicago Architecture Biennial and the week after that, The Frame Shop in Bridgeport is proud to host Wanderlust and Dreamland, Tripping Through La Habana, a series of photographs shot by Preston during his past travels to Cuba. Even though he's running on only a few hours of sleep, we were able to catch up with him for a few minutes to talk about photography, his career and his thoughts on what he calls a "complicated" relationship with Cuba.
Where did you grow up? When did you first pick up a camera and start shooting?
Preston: Chicago's Chatham neighborhood. My older sister briefly dated a guy who was a photographer of sorts, and for some reason he gave her one of his cameras – a Minolta XG. She had no interest in photography and ultimately, no interest in him. She kept the camera and finally gave it to me. I think I was in my early 20s.
I remember going to the library and taking out a couple of books, one on general photography and the other about Ansel Adams. I began playing around with long exposures almost immediately. One day I was out making photographs of the "L" train. A woman ran past me and knocked the camera tripod to the ground. The damage was pretty extensive and getting repaired just wasn't worth it. I think I was traumatized… I didn't buy another camera for about 3 or 4 years.
Why photography and not another form of art? What draws you to this medium?
Preston: I'm also a musician and something of a burgeoning writer. I'm driven to create. I simply have to do it, sometimes there's nothing else. Today we're talking about what I do with my cameras, but I could easily discuss my music and my instruments of choice.
How much of your personal life and self is represented in your work?
Preston: Well, I believe that your personal life colors your perspective, it doesn't matter how objective you think you are. And perspective is everything. I'm all up in my work… I make the decision about what to capture and when and how. All of my lenses are manual, most from the 70s and 80s, so I'm controlling everything about the shot, as I believe any camera only plays second fiddle to the lens.
At present, I shoot Pentax with K Series glass (film and digital), and a Leica M9 with Zeiss glass. I share this because the camera I grab when I leave the house has everything to do with the mood I'm in. My Pentax is like sketching with charcoal, and the Leica is paintbrushes… that's the best way I can describe it.
Why Cuba? How did you end up there?
Preston: I lost my Mother in 2014, it was painful… still is. A friend of mine who'd lost his wife the previous year suggested we get out of town. Way out of town, like to Cuba. It had been a favorite escape of his since he lived in Poland. I agreed and a month later I was standing in the Atlantic under a night sky crammed with stars just off the shore in Varadero, Cuba. It was already unreal. After a few days there, we hired a driver and rode into Havana in the back of a '56 Belair convertible. The unreal became surreal.
What are your thoughts on the current situation and resurfacing of old tension between the US and Cuba? How does your personal contact with the region change or inform your perspective?
Preston: Ok, so this is a real essay question. I sum it up on my website with "it's complicated". The role the US played back in the 50s by introducing Institutional Racism and Classism is still fresh in the minds of older Cubanos. They remember when Castro was a hero of the revolution and then watched their beloved country morph into a military dictatorship. Unlike China, Cuba is a poor Communist society. China benefited from the export of cheap Human labor, Cuba never had that. The Trade Embargo – being unable to do business with the US – would deal a decisive blow to any country's economy. For Cuba, it was devastating.
Between the two trips, I've spent about a month there. I've made friends and had meaty conversations with many others. Almost every person I met thought I was Cubano, when they discovered I was Americano, they wanted to talk about everything under the sun. I've was welcomed into their homes to break bread, share a bottle of Rum or experience killer Mojitos.
I spent a few hours with a gentleman whose body shop restores many of the classic vehicles in Havana. He pointed out that if he were in the states, he could order parts and get them in about a week. In Cuba, however, it could take over a month and he would easily pay for the part three or four times. So he's figured out how to make those parts himself. He's hired artists, sculptors specifically, to use their skills to hammer out some of the parts from sheet metal. Something from nothing.
What or who inspires you most?
Preston: Photographically? Gordon Parks, Avedon, Basquiat (his approach to his art), old school hardcore photojournalists and the film Through a Lens, Darkly which forced me to shoot less and with greater intent. Anyone or anyplace can become my muse. Something speaks to me and I suddenly see whatever is before me in a grid. I see the photograph.
Where else would you like to shoot? Or who else would you like to shoot?
Wanderlust and Dreamland, Tripping Through La Habana will be shown at The Frame Shop Gallery .

Dear friends and colleagues,
today I have the sad task of informing you that Charlie Mariano is no longer among us, he "checked out" this morning.
Email is not how I would have wanted to pass on this message to you, but due to his great number of friends, I am not able to call each of you personally.
We will miss his voice, we will miss his humor, and all of you who over the years had the good luck of playing together with him will feel the loss.
He had spent the last weeks in the Mildred Scheel Hospiz where he was given the best possible care. His wife Dorothee had been caring for him lovingly for months. His daughter from the US had come to be with him. Many of you had visisted him during the last months. He was not alone.
Tonite I will sit down to listen to his music. Two new CDs recorded within the last year are to be released, one with Chaouki Smahi and Billy Cobham, one with Jasper and Philip Catherine. At 85 he was still blowing beautifully, touching the hearts of his audience.
An era of great jazz players seems to be nearing it´s end. Please carry on the spirit of great music to which Charlie dedicated his life. Remember him as someone who played with everyone and everywhere, never could say no to anyone wanting him to join-up for a gig. Remember him as a musician who was held in great esteem but other musicians as well as by the listeners for besides his great music he was a sweet, and may I mention it; good-looking man. He was a friend and his loss will be felt dearly.
Sincere Greetings,
This is so sad!
I somehow thought Mariano would just go on and on and on and make great music forever! Alas, not.
To mourn and yet at the same time to celebrate his vast musical legacy, I will spin (and recommend you to buy) his great quartet release on Enja, Deep in a Dream, with Bob Degen (p), Isla Eckinger (b) and Jarrod Cagwin (d), as well as the following show which was waiting to be posted for several months. I wasn't of course hoping for the sad event that is his death, rather I just can't post here as often as I would like.
The concert that's subject of this post is a great display of Mariano's musical universe, which unites jazz, rock, flamenco, Arabian and Indian music. To hear him in a straight jazz context, get "Deep in a Dream"!
And I understand I got several of the spellings wrong and couldn't identify various of the tunes - please post a comment if you can help!

James "J.T." Thomas Jr. (Nuku Tribe)
Age: 31
Hometown: Mobile, AL
Previously played on:
Season 18: Tocantins, Winner
Season 20: Heroes Vs. Villains, Finished 10th
How have you changed since the last time you played?
I've definitely been humbled. I have become a little more patient and I don't think I'm quite as gullible.
What skills do you bring to Survivor that will make you a useful member of the group and what skills have you been learning since you last played?
I think I bring many skills to the table. I will always play with all my heart, which has allowed me to overcome many obstacles in my life.
I plan to build a very strong team and lead them to the merge. From there, I'll have to play with the hand I'm dealt to the best of my ability.
How will you play differently this time?
I will be more careful about picking my allies. More importantly, I will play a more aggressive Idol-tracking game, and a more determined and fierce challenge game.

EU/U.S. sanctions: Russia unfazed?
The EU joins the U.S. with a tougher set of sanctions against Russia over Ukraine. Could they kick off a new round of escalation in the most bitter confrontation between Moscow and the West since the Cold War? David Pollard reports.
Day thirteen since Malaysian Airlines MH17 was, it seems, shot out of the sky. Still the task of recovering the victims goes on - when fighting allows. It's been a stop-start process for building sanctions against Russia too. But finally some semblance of a concerted bid by Europe and the U.S. to up the pressure. Ironically, Europe could take much of the pain. IDEAglobal research director Mike Gallagher. SOUNDBITE (English) MIKE GALLAGHER, DIRECTOR OF RESEARCH, IDEAGLOBAL: ''There are some sanctions here that have a bit of bite, and consequently the business sector may start to factor this in as an issue. And if that's the case, it could be another headwind for the European recovery.'' On the face of it, the new measures are an escalation to wider ''sectoral sanctions''. Trade of equipment for oil and defence and ''dual use'' technology will be restricted. Russia's state run banks barred from raising funds in Europe's capital markets. The backlash could be widely felt. BP has already warned it could be hurt because of its stake in Russian oil giant, Rosneft. Total - a major investor in Russia - says it's stopped buying shares in gas producer Novatek. The City of London may have to brace itself. Germany too, says Robert Halver of Baader Bank. SOUNDBITE (German) HEAD OF CAPITAL MARKET ANALYSIS AT BAADER BANK, ROBERT HALVER: "We will suffer as well, especially the German middle class who is very heavily invested in the Russian economy. So both sides should work on finding a diplomatic solution. Because economic sanctions do not solve political problems." Others agree that - while they might hurt the Russian economy - the sanctions may have little effect on their other main target. SOUNDBITE (English) MIKE GALLAGHER, DIRECTOR OF RESEARCH, IDEAGLOBAL: ''We risk having a tit-for-tat situation .... I don't think this is going to force a U-turn from Putin. I think the political commentators very much feel that he is likely to sort of maintain the current course and this risks further escalation between the West and Russia.'' European gas users can breathe easily for now, 'though. Russia's natural gas industry - which supplies Germany and much of Europe - is not on the sanctions list. And nor are previous contracts - meaning France can still go ahead with delivery of a warship it's already sold to Russia.

Off The Hook is a new Seafood restaurant opening it's doors in Staffordshire. The owners wanted to bring a fresh and unique vision to their restaurant offering food and an environment that is healthy, enjoyable and different to their customers.
The client wanted a site that was bold and captivating from the home page. They wanted to keep things clean and simple and have a website where their clients would have most of the vital information on the home page, without it being too cluttered.
The designer created a bold and captivating home page, keeping it clear that it was a seafood restaurant by adding a beautiful seafood background image. "There weren't too many fancy extras on the website but we both felt it gave a clear picture of what the restaurant was about right away."
Viewing the site, one almost feels (as described by another designer) as they can taste the food and smell the freshness of the ocean. It is good to captivate the viewers senses when creating a website. Capturing senses is one of the website trends of 2015 and we think we achieved this well in this simple, yet effective website. The customer was thrilled with the end result.

Gypsy Kat's New Life starts in June, 2011. I'll be moving to Yellowknife (in the NWT, Canada) for a year (or maybe just 6 months.. we shall see), by myself. Well, that's the plan at least. Find a part-time job, find a roommate/room.... and live with the Aurora Borealis.

I have a Northern/Yellowkife blog (life-north-of-60... where i'll post most of my Yellowknife experience), but i've not even gotten to YK (short for Yellowknife) yet, and i'm already dreaming of the year or two after that! So seeing that it all has to do with seeing the world and living in it, i've now added YK to that 'life'.
And what are those plans i'm dreaming of? To travel the earth with a backpack, like a gypsy vagabond. To live in other countries and completely immerse myself in the cultures, by working and living with the people. To live in the moment (unlike now, where i'm obsessed with the future).
This would not be a vacation... it's a lifestyle choice. A dream. I'm sure it's WAY too ambitious, and i certainly may not even be able to handle it when push comes to shove, but what can i say? I'm an incurable dreamer! And i want to at least try!
Gypsy Kat's dream started a few years ago with wanting to buy an RV & travel around Canada & the US. Stay at one place long enough to make friends, see the area, maybe do some paintings and selling them online to help pay for food, etc (can you say 'dreamer'?), then move on to the next place.
But then last year, my 18 year old daughter went on a 'Kontiki' trip to Europe for a couple of weeks, then stayed there for about a month afterwards. I followed her trip with loving envy on facebook... such a lucky girl! And at this moment, my son is in France with his girlfriend... his 5 month journey around Europe & area almost done. OH, the experiences they've had! Camel journey & sleeping under the stars in the Sahara Desert in Morocco, waterfall sliding in Switzerland, and SO many more! I can't wait for them to return home so i can hear all about it... and pick their brains! I SO want to do that too!
Which was when Gypsy Kat's determination to actually DO that was born! I've wanted to do this for years, but i've only been obsessing about it for a couple of weeks so far, but MAN the desire is strong!
Gypsy Kat's dream of a New Life continues. In the meantime, there's SO much work to do...
I have started a travel blog for Gypsy Kat at travelpod.com/members/gypsykat ... so i may continue this thing there. I really like the setup there. I can create a different blog/album for every country, and the entries include a map. So... hopefully see you there... in the future...

Happy Saturday! Hope you're having a wonderful weekend.
For this card, I've stepped away from my Magnolia stamps and any colouring with markers. Strictly doing stamping, embossing and using my punches (like what I was doing before falling into what I call my Tilda addiction--LOL). I have to make use of my other stamps!!!
This weeks challenge at Papertake Weekly Challenge is a recipe challenge!To be included on your card are:
1 - circle
2 - ribbons
3 - stamps/images
Here's the card I created
As you can see the theme of my card is butterfly. The designer paper I used is double-sided and has butterflies on the other side.
I've turned over the top left corner of the paper to show the butterfly pattern. Hope you can see that. I used copper embossing powder for the stamped image at the corner.
The butterfly in the circle is embossed in white embossing powder. On a separate card stock, I made a 2nd similar butterfly and cut it out. I placed the 2nd butterfly over the 1st with foam tape to give it a 3-dimensional look. The scalloped edge of the circle was outlined with a glue stick pen and then dipped in micro glitter.
I took a picture of the inside of my card this time.
Stamps: Basic Grey bitsy stamp set butterfly, MSE My Sentiments Exactly M101 thinking of you

When I traveled to Germany last year, I was a bit disappointed that my semester was in the Spring and not the Fall. How could I ever become an extreme tourist in Germany without going to Oktoberfest? Well if any of you plan to do a semester in Germany during the Spring there is yet hope. The Stuttgarter Frühlingsfest (Spring Festival) is Europe's largest spring festival, and lasts 23 days long. This year it began on April 19th and went through May 11th. It is located at the fairgrounds in the Bad Cannstatt district of Stuttgart. It is not quite Oktoberfest, but that is alright because it still offers the same attractions. Also, since it is not as big as Oktoberfest, instead of waiting in 8 hour long lines for the beer gardens, you might only have to wait 4 hours. If you go early enough in the day though you might not have to wait in line at all. I went to the festival twice last year, but unfortunately since I was more focused on the cultural experiences in the beer garden, I didn't take many pictures. The internet has me covered on this one though.
Ok! Now you have rode every ride that you could possibly stomach, so where better to go than the Biergarten! The wonderful place bursting with food, polka, more expensive beer than you could ever consume, and of course other drinkers!
Unfortunately Frühlingsfest has ended this year, but there is always next year. For those of you who would wish to experience Oktoberfest but can't due to the season, then Frühlingsfest will save you. If you are there for a year even better! You can go to both, and continue your good choices of gluttony and over drinking. If you are an alcoholic you should probably fight the urge and not go. Also, be prepared to have your body hate you the following day. You have been warned. Viel Spaß!

For Monday, March 31, 2008
Members of the Japanese Ice Sledge Hockey team were spotted shopping in Marlborough last week. The team's opening match in the 2008 International Paralympic Committee Ice Sledge Hockey World Championships was scheduled Saturday night against the U.S. team.
The World Championship games started on Saturday and will be held through Saturday, April 5, at the New England Sports Center in Marlborough.
Anyone interested in catching a game can check out the schedule at www.sledge2008.com.
When talking with a reporter last week, U.S. Rep. James McGovern said he and his esteemed colleague Sen. Ted Kennedy share a lot of the same goals.
But, McGovern said, the two are on opposite sides on two big issues: McGovern supports Hillary Clinton for president while Kennedy supports Barack Obama, and McGovern also supports Cape Wind while Kennedy, who has a big spread in Hyannisport on Nantucket Sound, does not.
McGovern said he joked with Kennedy that "if Hillary gets in, she's going to build a big wind turbine right in front of your house."
Getting a thumbs-up on all six categories used for judging, the town of Hopkinton's Web site received an E-Government Award from a state group promoting open government.
The group, the bipartisan Common Cause, gave Hopkinton high marks for posting board agendas, board minutes, budget documents, bylaws, Town Meeting warrants and Town Meeting results.
By fulfilling all six categories, Hopkinton joined four other area towns in earning superstar status: Franklin, Holliston, Uxbridge and Weston.
Five other area towns received regular awards: Framingham, Hudson, Shrewsbury and Sudbury.
The awards are handed out as part of Sunshine Week, an annual nationwide event to promote open government.
Got a question? Just curious? Check them out.
At her final Framingham School Committee meeting last week, colleagues honored Diane Throop for her work on the committee.
Elected in 2002, Throop served two three-year stints, and chose not to seek a third term.
Her fellow members cited her passion for education and her analytical skills on school matters. They noted her judgment carried a lot of weight with fellow board members.
"When Diane Throops speaks, everyone listens," said member Beverly Hugo.
Throop was honored with a citation from the School Committee and another signed by House Speaker Sal DiMasi, as well as state representatives Tom Sannicandro, D-Ashland, and Pam Richardson, D-Framingham. Richardson is a former School Committee member who served with Throop.
Throop also received kudos from the town's teachers, principals and parent-teacher organizations.
Perhaps member Caesar Monzon summed up their thoughts best on Throop's departure when referencing the April 1 town elections. "All those out there, you can still write in Diane Throop," he said.
It's one of the most frequent suggestions leveled at Ashland schools by thrift-minded residents: If you're serious about saving money, cut administrators.
Superintendent Richard Hoffmann answered that call at last week's School Committee meeting by explaining just what the assistant superintendent and assistant principals do.
With Assistant Superintendent Kay Wood retiring, some have suggested eliminating the position or restructuring administrative staff. The schools face a $1.14 million deficit next year.
Overall, Ashland has 15 administrators and 2,700 kids, Hoffmann said. By comparison, Waltham has 4,700 students and 43 administrators.
"We have enough," Hoffmann said, adding he would highlight the jobs of administrators at the next few school board meetings.
"It would be nice to have more, but it's on the wish list."
This summer, flags representing U.S. casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan will dot the lawn of the Unitarian Church of Marlborough and Hudson, 102 Main St., Hudson.
The congregation will plant one American flag for every American who has died in Iraq and Afghanistan. As of Friday, 4,002 American military personnel had died in Iraq and 491 U.S. troops had died in Afghanistan, according to the Web site icasualties.org. .
The Rev. Stephen Shick, of the Unitarian Church, said the field of flags is intended to make people "witness the cost of human life that war has extracted."
Marlborough City Clerk Lisa Thomas hopes to save residents a trip to City Hall by adding more and more information to her department's Web site.
The site, which already has an online version of the city's special permit application, now features City Council agendas and meeting packets up through last week's March 24 meeting.
The clerk's office said there are also plans to add constable forms and business certificates to the department page, which already has information on birth certificates, death certificates, dog registrations and other services.

Effective June 1, 2018, DXC U.S. Public Sector became part of Perspecta Inc.
Rhode Island citizens are enjoying a new experience at the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) — shorter, quicker lines —thanks to the successful modernization of Rhode Island's DMV computer system, which went live in July 2017.
Because of the amount of data involved and high-profile of such projects, state DMV deployments can be very challenging, and Rhode Island's was no exception. This deployment ultimately achieved success through the combination of many factors, perhaps the most essential of which was the adoption of an agile development approach in favor of traditional linear development cycles. This meant that software development took place in shorter cycles among leaner cross-functional teams working collaboratively, leading to a much more interactive, hands-on approach. DXC U.S. Public Sector started by gathering requirements in batches, demonstrating solutions to the DMV as they were being built and making adjustments according to feedback.
Additional factors to this project's success include:
- Development of a high-performance application system. The project was not just a system modernization, but also included end-to-end process reengineering, and the rollout of a new application system.
- Flawless migration of existing data. DXC U.S. Public Sector managed the move of DMV data from a conglomeration of multiple systems to a single, integrated customer-centric system. The previous system had 68 interfaces, and the modernized system seamlessly integrates data such as driver information and car values from various national, public and private entities.
- End-user training. DMV customer service representatives received intensive training so they could be proficient in using the system from the first day it went live. DXC U.S. Public Sector paid close attention to the information architecture of the system to make sure the flow of data and transactions from screen-to-screen was smooth and user-friendly.
- Internal and external change management. Internally, employees were made aware of new processes, and the new way of doing things that came along with the computer modernization. Externally, DXC U.S. Public Sector contributed to public relations efforts to inform the citizenry the state was moving from one system of record to another.
- Value generation. DXC U.S. Public Sector and the state placed a high premium on achieving faster application performance and greater efficiencies, which would mean shorter lines and happier customers. DXC U.S. Public Sector helped enable the state to have the ability to integrate more data, increase the automation of interfaces and do more with less. After the rollout, DXC U.S. Public Sector had a model in place for post-deployment support.
On July 5, when the new system went online at the Rhode Island DMV headquarters in Cranston, numerous local television stations and newspapers were on hand to report on what citizens experienced. What the reporters found was a smooth rollout with short lines, no major technical glitches and many citizens who said it was the best experience they had ever had at the DMV.
