In May 1992 an uncontrolled runaway polymerisation occurred on a plant which makes a maleic co-polymer product.
On the day before the incident, the monomer and solvent had been charged to the maleic in the reactor for the polymerisation. A charge of styrene was then made to the reactor to react with the residual maleic followed by a line flush with solvent. During this line flush it was discovered that the monomer line valve was open, and it was subsequently closed. The batch was completed without incident. The following day the batch was charged as normal and heated to 114°C before the first catalyst charge was made. The expected exotherm was exceeded and the batch was put on full cooling. The reaction began to runaway and the pressure in the reactor rose to an estimated 40-50 psig. A 35 psig relief valve lifted, but the 50 psig bursting disc did not burst. However the agitator seal o-ring blew out and a heavy concentration of vapours were released into the plant area.
It was discovered that on the previous day, styrene had back-flowed into the monomer line via the open block valve. A non-return valve in the monomer line failed to prevent this. This styrene was contained in the initial charge of the following batch resulting in a significantly more vigorous reaction than normal, which exceeded the reactor control.

This is one of my two top dresses of the night. Feathers! Sequins! Drama! Appropriate hair and make-up! The dress is by Gucci and was definitely different from the meh of blush and nude. So much so, it made me do an actual out loud 'Wow!'.
It also works because Wood knows how to stand properly. Seriously, never underestimate good posture.

Post-Inaugural Schedule Includes Debt Ceiling Push-Back
On Tuesday, January 22nd, the day after the Presidential inauguration, the House will take up H.R. 307, the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act (PAHPA) of 2013, as well as a bill, Legislation Conditioning an Increase in the Nation's Debt Limit Upon Congress Passing a Budget, which confronts the Senate Democrat leadership's past inability or refusal to bring up and pass a budget. The debt limit legislation will extend the nation's ability to borrow for only three months and require the Senate to pass a budget resolution by April 15th in accordance with the Congressional Budget Act or face a deferral of pay for all Senators (House Republicans are expected to meet the April 15th deadline). It remains to be seen whether the House Republican Caucus will stand behind Speaker John Boehner in this move to gain some political leverage over congressional Democrats and the President in the fiscal years 2013-14 and long-term budget debate. In this regard, the Speaker is attempting to restore the so-called "Hastert Rule" under which legislation would be taken up in the House only when a majority of Republicans support the move (the rule was set aside in the vote taken to avoid the fiscal cliff, 35% of R's voted aye, as well as in the supplemental appropriations vote to fund Sandy-related restoration, 21% of R's voted aye). While Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell seemed to support the House's condition, the office of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the Senate would be looking to the House to pass a "clean debt-ceiling increase to avoid default," and if that happens, "we will be happy to consider it." Even if a debt ceiling extension is enacted, the Congress still faces a March 1 deadline to reach an agreement on how to ameliorate the $85 billion in automatic spending cuts mandated under the Budget Control Act and a March 27 deadline to extend funding for FY 2013 federal operations and avoid a government shut-down. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) has suggested that these two dates be used to force the President to negotiate a long-term budget including Medicare and Social Security entitlement reforms. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has directed federal agencies to come up with contingency plans to cut spending if Congress is unable to reach a resolution of the matter and has warned that hundreds of thousands of federal employees may need to be furloughed without a legislative solution. It is not expected that Congress will consider legislation proposed by Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA) and Rep. Daniel Webster (R-FL-10) which seeks to resolve the debt limit ceiling problem by setting spending priorities, beginning with interest payments on the debt and the payment of Social Security and active/retired military pay. The spectrum of views on long-term spending is reflected by recent positions of the AARP to reject cutting Medicare benefits or provider payments and of the Business Roundtable to increase the Medicare eligibility age to 70 and adopt a premium support regimen for the program. The need to reduce federal deficits was also promoted by the Treasury Department in its Financial Report of the United States which concludes that, despite the spending constraints included under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and sequestration, if federal spending policy remains unchanged, the debt-to-gross domestic product ratio will continually increase over the next 75 years and beyond, "which implies current policies are not sustainable and must ultimately change."
Committee Health Agenda
The new chairman of the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Health, Rep. Kevin Brady(R-TX-08), said his committee will focus on repealing parts of the PPACA, scrutinizing the law's implementation, replacing the Medicare sustainable growth rate (SGR) physician payment system with a formula that rewards quality and reducing Medicare overhead by 10% within five years. The House Energy and Commerce Committee, which has scheduled an organizational meeting this Tuesday, announced a similar agenda to oversee the PPACA and examine the fiscal challenges facing Medicare and Medicaid. House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI-01) also indicated his committee would work on a substitute for the PPACA. The ranking member of the W&M's Health Subcommittee, Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA-07), said he has not given up on seeking a single-payer health care system, but will work with Rep. Brady (R-TX-08) to see that the PPACA is implemented in the best way possible. Of note, Rep. Schakowsky (D-IL-09) and 44 other House Democrats introduced legislation, H.R. 261, which would add a "public option" under the PPACA. Another topic likely to be given attention was highlighted in a Congressional Research Services (CRS) report, Physician Supply and the Affordable Care Act, which states that "experts suggest that there are too few physicians overall, too few primary care physicians specifically, and that physicians are inadequately distributed throughout the United States." House and Senate committees of jurisdiction will also have to address the reauthorization of a number of health programs, including those involving graduate medical education, HIV-AIDS and the National Health Service Corps. House Republicans have already introduced a flurry of bills intended to repeal various parts of the PPACA:
- H.R. 37, the Business and Government Operations Improvement Act – repeals the individual and employer mandates and the Independent Payment Advisory Board, introduced by Rep John Barrow (D-GA-12)
- H.R. 45 - repeals the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and health care-related provisions in the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, tintroduced by Rep Michele Bachmann (R-MN-06)
- H.R. 105, Reclaiming Individual Liberty Act – repeals individual mandate, introduced by Rep Scott Garrett (R-NJ-05)
- H.R. 132, ObamaCare Repeal Act - repeals the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, introduced by Rep Steve King (R-IA-04)

How is your Saturday going? I have my coffee (thanks, Sean!), slept late and the boys are enjoying their morning of nothingness. It's a good day.
One perk of being involved in advocating for adoption is that I've made some new friends who are also in the adoption process. Sally is currently in the second half of their adoption phase. Check out her blog about bringing Martin home. (feel free to chip in to their fund–they have a matching grant through October)
As always, you can click my big Give1Save1 Asia button, too, to see the current family of the week! (see it over there on the right?) The Campbell family will be featured through this weekend and next week will be the Tucker family. Take a look at their stories, too.
Our Zoe Clothing fundraiser is still up and running! You get cute clothes (the girls' tees are especially cute!) and they donate a percentage to us:) We truly appreciate it!
Oh, and Sean is teaching Caleb to vacuum…….my day just got better!

We are working on 2 digit addition and subtraction without regrouping and I thought this would be a good time to throw in some word problems. They never want to read the problems so I tried to make it fun for them. We made a cute book with our end result.
Each student got their own word problem and it was about them. They had to solve the problem and illustrate it.They loved hearing the different problems.
The other teachers on my floor loved it and I emailed them a copy. I thought you might like one too. All the students have to do is fill in their names and there is one for the teacher/example. Click here to get it!
Hope your class enjoys too :)

When the Toro Co. decided to retrofit its 300,000-sq-ft Tomah, Wis. facility, energy-efficient lighting topped its list of desired improvements. After extensive testing, the company, which produces commercial golf course equipment such as rotary, greens, and fairway mowers; aeration equipment; and workman vehicles, chose the Illuminator lighting fixtures produced by Orion Lighting and Energy Services. Orion guarantees this move will save Toro approximately $80,000 per year.
"This energy-efficient Orion lighting project fits in well with other environmentally responsible efforts adopted by Toro such as the one-of-a-kind Waste Water Treatment Facility we use to remove zinc and phosphates from our water," says Scott Vollmer, the environmental/project engineer in Toro's Commercial Division.
According to Orion, the Illuminator has been specifically designed for use in manufacturing, warehousing, distribution centers, and other commercial buildings. Using a patented reflector system, the Illuminator uses 50% less electricity than the traditional industrial 400W fixtures, while producing more than 50% more light. In this retrofit, the electrical contractor will replace approximately 840 HID light fixtures with the Illuminator.
"The fact that Orion's lighting will save Toro over $80,000 per year and still have such a positive environmental impact by cutting our electricity consumption by 1.7 million kilowatts was also an important part of our decision," says Don Yahnke, Toro's director of operations for Tomah. "Equally important to us were the intangible benefits from Orion's lighting such as more than 50% better lighting, better worker safety, 50% less on-going maintenance, full spectrum lighting to complete our final quality inspections, and finally, creating more available electricity for the Tomah community."

Product Description for the Focusrite Clarett 8PreX
Better. Faster. Easier.
Excellent sound is the quality Clarett owners love most. With up to 119dB dynamic range, superbly low noise, precision 24/192 conversion and eight specially-designed mic preamps with a unique analogue "Air" effect, Clarett 8PreX is the Thunderbolt audio interface that simply sounds great, easily out-performing other interfaces in its class and beyond. Meanwhile, its astonishing 1.67ms round-trip latency* simplifies your workflow and lets you use your favourite plug-ins in real time.
Eight New Clarett Mic Pres with extra 'Air'
The mic pres have been designed specifically for the Clarett range, with plenty of gain, yet low noise and distortion. They also include a special "Air" feature that switches in an analogue model of the classic transformer-based Focusrite ISA mic pre. Instrument inputs feature extra headroom to handle the loudest pickup. It's the Focusrite Sound over Thunderbolt.
The clarity of Clarett
The Clarett range is acclaimed for its sound quality. It's due partly to Clarett's specially-designed mic pres with the unique ""Air"" effect, adding air and clarity especially to vocals and acoustic instruments. Plus Focusrite's precision digital conversion, carefully balancing noise floor, dynamic range, frequency response and distortion for the best possible sound to and from your DAW.
We invited audio engineering professionals to a blind listening test at Riverside Studios in Berlin to compare the sound of Clarett to that of the Apollo 8p, from Universal Audio, makers of the Apollo Duo; and the Apogee Ensemble. What did they discover? Watch the Thunderbolt Interface Shootout and find out!
Simplify your workflow
Clarett's ultra-low round-trip latency dramatically simplifies your workflow. Instead of having to build two different mixes – one using input monitoring to overdub, the other using the DAW for playback – the good news is that now, one is enough. Build your mix on the DAW and use it whether you're overdubbing (monitoring the input you're recording with the new Focusrite Control software mixer) or playing back, with your plugins in place, all the time. Use your favourite plugins while recording, too – whether it's reverb on a vocal, a guitar amp simulator, or even virtual instruments live on stage.
The Heart of the Studio
Specially designed for studio installation, Clarett 8PreX includes separate rear panel inputs for mic, line and instrument, ADAT I/O to add 16 more channels, and dedicated phantom power, phase reverse and high pass filters on every channel.
Intuitive, Easy to Use Software Mixer and Sweet Sounding Plug-ins
Focusrite Control is a brand new software mixer designed for easy configuration of monitoring and routing setups. Simple and intuitive to use, Focusrite Control offers a traditional mixer workflow and allows immediate access to internal hardware functions. Also included is a sweet sounding plug-in collection comprising Softube's world-class Time and Tone Bundle, with TSAR-1R Reverb, Tube Delay, Saturation Knob and Drawmer S73 Intelligent Master Processor. This is complemented by the Red 2 & Red 3 AAX, AU & VST Plug-in Suite, which accurately models Focusrite's classic Red range equalizer and compressor hardware.
Accessible metering and monitoring
The monitor section provides a clear view of both analogue and digital input levels (selectable), as well as main monitor output levels via a 6-segment, multichannel hardware meter. Monitor features also include an assignable level control, plus back-lit dim and mute buttons, alongside dual high-power headphone outputs.

A computer dealer who took part in a string of financial crimes and fled Britain to escape a fraud conviction has been jailed.
Jonathan Nugent, 53, spent 12 years in the United States using fake paperwork and invoices to illegally claw back millions in VAT repayments.
The dirty money he made from his California bolthole was stashed in shadowy offshore bank accounts. Prosecutors said he had amassed £22m.
Nugent went on the run when the UK taxman went after him in 1998 for his role in a VAT-dodging conspiracy which saw computer parts brought into the UK via Ireland and Hong Kong. That scam netted him £5.5m.
It took place while Nugent was a director of Clear Technology Ltd, based in Warrington, Cheshire. But when he was charged with cheating the public coffers, Nugent fled Britain for America.
He was one of the UK's most wanted men and was on the Revenue & Customs' first Most Wanted list.
That led to a partnership between British and US authorities which saw Nugent deported to Ireland on immigration offences. Then he was hauled into the dock in Britain on an extradition warrant.
A judge at Manchester Crown Court jailed Nugent for four years and six months for cheating the public revenue.
Mike O'Grady, HMRC assistant director of criminal investigation, said: "Today's sentence demonstrates that we do not forget or give up on tax fraud cases, whatever the time lapse from offence to capture.
"We strongly suspect that Nugent left the UK on an Irish passport, which he'd originally obtained as soon as his co-conspirators were arrested, and flew with his family to the USA via Eire.
"Once we had located him, the American authorities were able to use visa violations to deport him quickly so that we could enforce the arrest warrant."

Wishing you a safe and a happy July 4th!
|In observance of the holiday, BoxQ offices will be closed next week (Monday, June 30th – Friday, July 4th). We will reopen on Monday, July 7th.
We wish all of you a Happy 4th of July!
The BoxQ Crew
Third world nation dumping grounds
Over the past 8 -10 years, various domestic and international agencies and groups have informed and enlightened the public and private business sector of the burgeoning problems that their e-waste causes when not handled properly. From the damage done to the local environment, to the life threatening impact experienced by people in developing third world nations whose shores are the dumping ground for industrial nations electronics refuse, their stories and warnings have been common news for almost a decade. Yet, despite the attention to (and awareness of) these issues, the problems with e-waste continue to grow, especially in the poorer countries of the world.
As a picture paints a thousand words, a link to the photographic expose by Valentino Bellini of the "Bit Rot Project", whose images capture the continued devastation caused by e-waste dumping into third world nations, can be viewed by clicking on the apple icon above. You will find a link to the entire "Bit Rot Project" article on the first page of the expose. We invite you to take a look.
And please remember; BoxQ does not dump anything into landfills, and does not ship anything overseas.
Please note that BoxQ offices will be closed for the Fourth of July holiday the entire week of June 29 – July 3. Please contact Mark Bell at 877-499-2697 or email@example.com if you need an e-waste removal before June 26th. Thank you.
Earth Day is an annual event celebrated on April 22. Since its humble US inception as a true grassroots effort in 1970, the campaign to bring awareness and positive change to environmental issues impacting the earth has become a global phenomenon. Here at home, the efforts of this communal organization has resulted in the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency and led to the legislative passage of the Clean Air, Clean Water and Endangered Species Acts. Similar measures have been enacted in other countries around the world, all as a result of concerned people gathering together to bring awareness of and solutions to harmful practices against the earth.
Unfortunately, there are regions in the world where ignorance, poverty, apathy, and the basic need to survive contribute to total disregard of the environment, resulting in the devastation and polluting of land, air and water, and diminishing a decent quality of life for people in the process. An expose' entitled "Welcome to Hell" by Jeremy Kaplan of Fox News details in text and pictures one such place in Africa. Click on the icon above to view. It is worth a look.
We hope you join us in observing Earth Day this year. Whether you actively participate in a business or community sponsored event, or simply implement personal changes around the home or office that benefit the environment, the important aspect is to reflect and acknowledge that we can all have a positive impact on this planet!
The month of April brings rain showers (which we could probably do without after the record setting snowfall we experienced in New England this winter) and the observance of "Earth Day" on the 22nd. Whether you are actively participating in a business or community sponsored event that day, or simply implementing personal changes around the house or office that benefit the environment, the important aspect is to reflect and acknowledge that we all have a responsibility to treat our global home with care and respect.
This year, one of our BoxQ clients is celebrating Earth day by sponsoring an electronics recycling day for their employees. The employees will be bringing excess electronics from their homes to their place of work to be collected and removed by BoxQ. This type of event promotes awareness to the proper handling and disposal of old electronics and fosters good will among the company's personnel. If you think your business would benefit from holding such an event, please contact Mark Bell at (877) 499-2697 or via e-mail at email@example.com.
We wish you a Joyous Easter and a Peaceful Passover.
The BoxQ Crew.

If you think that your business is too small to be attacked by hackers, think again. Data corruption, data theft, and general mayhem are their goals. Most small business owners sit back in a smug sense of security because they believe that only the major companies are targets. It is because they are small and complacent that hackers find small businesses a proverbial gold mine.
- One of the hackers greatest of ploys is to turn your site or your blog into a literal robot. Under the command of the hacker, your computer systems can be used to transfer all kinds of information straight to the hackers. This can be easily done and you won't even realize it is happening until it is too late. There may be no direct data corruption but all of your information, like banking and customer information, will travel straight to the hacker's laptop.
- It is important that you are running the latest upgrades of any software you have. Software makers tend to add security patches with each new update as certain security challenges arise. Running outdated software leaves you wide open to data corruption and information theft.
- You, also, need to have the strongest and most capable firewall you can get. It may be all that stands between the hackers and your company's survival. Also, make certain that no one is using the same password for too long. Company and individual passwords must be updated and changed frequently. Use a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols. The more creative you are, the more difficult it becomes for the hacker to break in and cause severe data corruption or theft.
- Finally, try and move to HTTPS for more secure transmissions and communication. HTTP Secure protocols will allow you another blanket in your security in addition to hard to crack passwords and your firewall. Such measures will keep all of your online business as safe as is possible from various hard and soft hacker attacks and from the disaster of data corruption or information theft.

The question that continually faces both individuals and companies alike remains how to classify and what to do with the mountains of information and data that continues to makes its way into your life and your business. What needs to be retained and what needs secure data destruction? Businesses of all sizes have begun to finally realize that they simply can't keep piling up data simply for the sake of keeping it. Those that do are finding themselves simply overwhelmed.
- You need to decide what information is absolutely crucial to the survival of your life or business and to have some manner of operational plan in place. For the most part, you want to retain that data which is important to your ongoing operations as well as that data and those records you know you must keep safe and secure for extended periods.
- It is, also, important to bring everyone involved, family members or employees, into the data retention and data destruction loop. Everyone needs to know what data will be vital to the success of the company and what data that must routinely be securely destroyed.
- Secure data destruction comes in to play for the simple reason of space. How much space and storage are you willing to give to the crushing amount of data that comes into your life and business every day? When thoughtfully examined, most people and businesses will realize that most of the data they are exposed to has an extremely limited shelf life and should be securely destroyed as soon as possible.
- Another consideration with regard to data destruction is the question of ongoing risk. Through safe data destruction, a company runs less of a risk with regard to having information stolen or altered for other, possibly nefarious, purposes. In addition, the less data you keep the faster and more efficient your data retrieval systems will be. This can be an enormous boost to productivity and customer service.
Your data center is the critical information hub for your business. Without it, your company may not be a company for long. Your data center stores all of your precious and sensitive company information as well as where your overall systems are watched and monitored. You need a plan for keep your center safe because the corruption of your data is something you can ill afford.
- Believe it or not, many company data centers don't even have locks on the doors. While you are concerned with a denial of service hacker attack, someone could just walk through the door and access anything they want to. In addition to keeping out intruders, it will keep unauthorized personnel from gaining access and causing all sorts of unintentional data corruption or equipment malfunctions.
- Where your center is located is crucial to the overall safety of your data and information. Like any basic military operation, the perimeter and boundaries must be secured and impenetrable. Data corruption and theft always occurs at those venues that are viewed as being the least protected.
- Speaking of doors, you need to lock the doors that will allow hacker attacks through. You know how vital this data center is to your company's survival. Hackers will dedicate hours, even days, to trying to find that back door into your system. Your IT precautions and protocols need to be state of the art or risk data loss and worse.
- Further risk factors can include your trash disposal, your secure data destruction by a skilled firm, outside vendors or visitors and natural calamities. How strong is your data center? Can it survive a natural disaster like and earthquake or hurricane? Who gets into your center? What are your security procedures? With regard to data theft or corruption, you need to have it professionally done and all of your non electronic trash must be shredded or destroyed before being thrown out.
You can't leave anything to chance with regard to the security of your data or the secure data destruction with an experienced firm that you will need to do from time to time. Your data center faces a great many risks but with some planning and foresight, you can keep it, and your company, safe.

One of the many things minimalism has thought me is how to dress with less. If I would've seen this particular outfit a couple of years ago I probably wouldn't like it at all. Every outfit had to be bigger, better and more colourful than the previous one. Yes, colourful.
Photography by Carmen Castrelo
Now, on the other hand, what with all the clean Instagram feeds I stepped away from (mostly) all colour and other statement pieces in return for much simpler and more timeless outfits. I am constantly on the search for items that I can mix and match endlessly with key pieces in my wardrobe.
Comfort first
The biggest shift in my style has been my need for comfort. While comfort used to be last on my list; wearing high heels and tight skirts, I can't tolerate to feel the slightest discomfort nowadays when it comes to my outfit choice. Last week, I decided to wear a gorgeous pair of heels to the office, which I started to regret about 3 hours later. I ended up cursing myself the entire day, nearly cried while walking home and gaining a blister that was perfectly placed on the sole of my foot. Torture indeed.
Toning it down a notch or two (go ahead and make that three), didn't make me feel like less of a 'fashionista'. I learned that being able to create a trendy outfit with less, only shows that fashion is in your blood. It is easy to pile up on the latest trends and call it a day, but being able to incorporate contemporary items into a timeless wardrobe is what makes fashion even more fun.

Neandertal was based on a disfigured human (Talk.Origins)
Claim CC051:
- Neanderthal man was reconstructed from a fossil skeleton badly deformed by disease. Neanderthals really are not much different from modern humans.
- Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, 1985. Life--How Did It Get Here? Brooklyn, NY, p. 95.
CreationWiki response:
First of all the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society is a poor source known for bad scholarship. (Talk.Origins quotes in blue)
1. An early stereotype of Neanderthals was that they were stooped, very hairy, and had divergent big toes. Straus and Cave (1957) showed that they were fully human in posture. However, Neanderthals do have distinctive features that distinguish them from modern humans. Some of these features -- powerful bones and muscles, in particular -- cannot plausibly be attributed to pathology or injury.
This is 100% correct and the original Neanderthal skeleton was indeed deformed by disease, leading to that generalized stereotype, and not just a creationist stereotype, so at worst this is out of date.
But it needs to be noted that features like powerful bones and muscles can be a result of life style rather than genetics. In fact, we can see wide variation within mankind today from Pygmies in Africa to a group of Sudanese known for height and Biblical records of nine-foot six-fingered giants like Goliath.
2. Neanderthals are known from many specimens. It is extremely unlikely that all of them would be suffering from exactly the same illness.
No disagreement here but once again it only shows that the claim is out of date.

Eugenie Bouchard won her second-round match Wednesday morning at the French Open, beating Belgium's Julia Goerges in three sets.
Court 7, where the match took place, is a lovely mini-stadium, with a few hundred seats, none more than about 25 feet from the court. And if you were lucky enough to be there, you were indeed lucky, because at the rate Bouchard is going — finishing 2012 ranked 144th in the world, finishing 2013 ranked 32nd, now sitting at 16th — it won't be long before she's playing in 15,000-seat Philippe Chatrier.
At the same time Bouchard was winning on the smaller court, American falling-star Venus Williams was losing to unheralded 56th-ranked Anna Schmiedlova — on Chatrier.
Well now, that's interesting if you're a Canadian tennis fan, because it was less than four years ago that Venus had her hands full with another Canadian. My wife and I were on our way to New York for a long-planned U.S. Open bucket-list trip, flying overnight, when we realized that, just hours later, Vancouver's Rebecca Marino — an up-and-comer who'd made the main draw of the 2010 tournament through qualifying — was to play Venus at Arthur Ashe Stadium. We arrived in the city around 8 a.m., dropped our bags off at the hotel, freshened up after flying the red-eye, and made our way out to Queens for the match, played in the early afternoon on a scorching day.
Marino was brilliant, in places, that day. She gave it her all in that opening set, nearly overwhelming the third seed, a seven-time Grand Slam singles champion, with her power. Sitting high in the upper deck, we were pumped. We believed we were witnessing the birth of a Canadian champion, chanted her name. (A year later, I met Marino's dad in Vancouver, told him about being at the match. "I thought I heard you guys," he said.) But Marino lost that set, in a tiebreaker. And Venus, who could still conjure magic 14 years after her WTA debut, won a lopsided second set to take the match.
Things were never really the same for Marino. At least, it seemed like she reached the height of her tennis career that day, and was never again able to match it. Bouchard, on the other hand, is into the third round — ironically, that was Marino's Grand Slam-best result just eight months after we saw her in New York — and she'll be heavily favoured over world No. 99 Johanna Larsson of Sweden. From there, a potential fourth-round match against German eighth-seed Angelique Kerber. She's also an impressive 20-year-old, which you can see from this interview she gave in Australia last December:
Here's the rest of the 2 O'Clock:
Trending like mad on Twitter? Dale Weise.
Yes, the former Vancouver Canuck, so unrecognized on the West Coast that he could ride down the elevator in his building, with Canucks fans in jerseys talking hockey and not thinking twice about the big guy riding with him, can't go anywhere in Montreal without being hailed as a hero.
Then, on Tuesday night, during Game 5, Weise was breathtaking. In 11:21 of action — only two Habs forwards had less ice time than Weise — he had two assists, four hits and was rocked off his feet by a cheap, high hit by the New York Rangers' John Moore (who awaits the results of a hearing with the NHL's discipline department).
Stunning, frankly, that Rangers head coach Alain Vigneault would say today that Weise was "admiring his pass" when Moore hit him. After all, Moore hit Weise, according to the CBC, about 9/10 of a second after the pass. Is it possible Weise was just doing what anyone would do? Look to see where the pass is going?
Weise should admire his passing. Check out his two assists, at approximately the two-minute mark and again at 2:15:
And so Weise is trending. And here's a sampling:https://twitter.com/MarcBelletete/status/471687394173800448
And one that should resonate in Vancouver:
I was taken aback this morning when I saw a photo of Canadian men's soccer coach Benito Floro on the sideline during Canada's 1-1 tie against Moldova Tuesday in Austria.
After all, he reminded me of someone. But who?
Right. That guy!
tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, TWEET!!!! TWEET! tweet, tweet, tweet, TWEEEEEET!
Speaking of Twitter, the folks who work at Twitter Data did a cool thing the other day: they tracked Twitter's embrace of the Champions League final from the time the ball was kicked off between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, and the time the game ended with Real winning in extra time.
Frankly, the experiment borders on mesmerizing. Seriously. Throughout the match, you can see that Twitter users who follow soccer are prolific in countries such as Spain, Portugal, England, Brazil, Mexico, throughout Central America, in many parts of the U.S. and in Canada's urban centres (though mainly Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal), Indonesia, Italy, Turkey, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, and the northwest countries of South America — Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela. In all of those places, there was pretty constant Twitter chatter throughout the two-and-a-half-hour match.
But there are certain moments where Twitter explodes globally — where, literally, people go nuts. Not so much when Atletico's Diego Godin put his team ahead in the first half, but more so when Sergio Ramos scored the tying goal, and again when Gareth Bale scored the go-ahead goal in extra time.
Fascinating. And fun.

In the content management system/site admin, the website pages are organized in an intuitive tree structure, similar to File Explorer on a PC and Finder on Mac. This layout is familiar to most and makes it easy to find the pages you want to edit, create new pages or sections, and move pages around within your site.
As simple as editing a Word document, the WYSIWYG editor has the tools you need to:
AgileSite allows you to perform basic image manipulation in your site admin like resizing, rotation, or cropping. Once saved to your site, you can display the image in multiple places instead of having to upload multiple times. If you decide to change the picture in the future, replacing the file with a new image will update the photo everywhere it was used.
Our websites are built on an optimized platform that delivers pages fast, making users and search engines like Google happy. The site admin also has features and elements that allow you to easily optimize your pages to rank higher with:
Visual continuity is important not just for brand consistency, but also for a positive site visitor experience. All pages in your website are based on a page template of some kind. These templates contain predefined areas, also known as editable regions. These templates and regions allow you or any approved site admin to add content to the site, but prevents them from breaking or overwriting the page design.

Oh. Hey there. Hi. Sooooo... things have been pretty quiet around here lately, huh?
I just wanted to say (to those of you still reading) thanks for doing so. I have had a blast writing this blog. And, for those interested in doing so, you can now find me over at http://andyjames-ink.com/ - my official site as an official writer type fellow. It's in the early stages at the moment but I hope to build on it and add some really cool things soon. I have some ideas, I'm playing around with some things but the site is really more of a home for me as a writer and the blogs will be random - in both subject and timing.
This blog will be sticking around on the web (for now) as I am actually rather proud of some of the things here. And it's like some sort of digital historical document. For me, anyway.
So, hey. Thanks again. It's been emotional, there's no place like home, etc. etc.

May 2018
The S-line Streetcar opened in December 2013, with a single track and 20 minute headways. Since the completion of the line, a great deal of development has occurred and continues to occur in the area. The Salt Lake City Redevelopment Agency found the construction of the line has accelerated or was partially responsible for the creation of over 1,000 residential units and 2 million square feet of redevelopment, resulting in over $400 million in private investment through 2017. The S-line had 370,500 weekday boardings in 2017.
With the success of the line, there is a desire to be able to increase the 20 minute frequency of service. The current single track will not allow for the additional trains needed for 15 minute service. The planned double tracking on a two block segment of the line will allow it. Currently there is a passing track at 500 East to allow trains traveling in opposite directions to pass by each other for the 20 minute service. This project will extend the double tracking westward, to 300 East to allow for the increased 15 minute frequency. A new station platform will also be added at 300 East to accommodate the double tracking. UTA and Salt Lake City have estimated that the increased frequency will attract approximately 870 new daily passengers by 2030.
This project will cost $5.9 million for design and construction, Salt Lake City secured $1.9 million from the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) Program and Salt Lake County has programed $4.0 million from the County Infrastructure Fund. In addition, the County is also pledging $500,000 for additional operating costs for the first three years.
Current Progress
All agreements with Salt Lake County have been signed. The contractor has been procured to complete the design and construction of the project. Grading and earthwork construction will begin June 1 with engineering design to be released for construction around July 19. OCS and train control systems will be procured once design is completed with installation set to begin on October 1. Substantial completion is scheduled for January 18, 2019 and the new track release for revenue operation January 19, 2019.

Due to floods, this area was unfortunately closed in 2014
This is the crack 25 feet left of "Redneck Hero". Steep and pumpy this route has good pro and fun movement. The route "Big, Big Monkey Man" splits off about mid way up. Best to do this route when the river is low. i.e. spring, fall. At the top traverse right to a bolted anchor at the top of "Big, Big Monkey Man."

Mark Wilford discovered this crag in the mid-eighties when Jeff Lowe's company, Latok, was located downstream in Lyons. Four of us (Jeff, Mark, Steve Mammen, and I) went up one afternoon to climb here and we all epic'd. Mark and Steve took the thin crack line of what is now called Pocket Hercules so Jeff and I got the Neurosurgeon line. Here's what I saw:
Steve was more of a boulderer so Mark took the lead on their line. The water was low and the flat slabs at the base were slick so Steve belayed fairly far to the left; maybe 25'. Mark traversed to the base of the crack and clipped in one of his half-ropes to an upward pulling directional. Then he started up and after about 10' placed his first downward pulling cam. He cruised the crack, clipping alternately, and was virtually at the top when he stopped to place a last cam. He got a good one in and was pulling up the rope to clip when his hold broke and he fell. By the time he stopped falling, Steve had been dragged 20' to the right (There's is not much in the way of anchors there) and Mark was hanging about 2' above the water and getting closer as Steve tried desperately not to get dragged farther across the slab. Mark was screaming at Steve not to let him down into the water (the route overhangs about 20' so Mark was out over the water), Steve was freakin' because he didn't want to let Mark down, but there wasn't anything he could do about it and Jeff and I were laughing so hard we had to quit for the day. Well, Mark got all wet so they bagged it and we all went for beers.
What happened was that when Mark fell the weight came on the rope which was through the directional. It pulled, leaving about 30' of slack. Between the slack and Steve getting pulled across the ledge Mark ended up taking a 50 or 60-footer.
Same story as for Neurosurgeon here. I told Piana about the epic and the cliff and by the time we got back to climbing there he had bagged the ascents of both routes.

That's a great story, This wall is a super quality Crag, I love it. Apr 21, 2009

I love this route! It's a bit more logistically annoying, but it's part the experience, I guess. I recommend lots in the 0.75 Camalot size if you're thinking you might hang some (in the neighborhood of 7 is actually a good idea). It's pumpy! I also found the 3 smallest TCUs nice for the start, but there are other options. Dec 1, 2012

Really enjoyable route that is tricky and pumpy all at the same time. I thought (3) x 0.75s felt sufficient especially if you have triples in 0.5s. There was a rope anchor up and climber's left that allowed for an easy descent back to your packs. Aug 12, 2013

Connecticut Senate votes against bear hunt, amends bill language to forbid trophy-hunting activities
The Connecticut Senate voted against legislation that would have permitted a bear hunt in Connecticut for the first time in more than 100 years.
After an hour-long floor debate, the Senate removed language allowing a bear hunt through a legislative process known as a "strike all" amendment to S.B. 522 that instead forbids trophy hunters to import, possess or offer for sale or transport in Connecticut five species of African wildlife. After the Senate approved the amendment, the bill transferred to the Judiciary Committee.
Annie Hornish, Connecticut state director for The Humane Society of the United States, says:
"We are thrilled that the Senate acted to squash Connecticut's first black bear hunt in a century. The best available science indicates that a trophy bear hunt will not benefit public safety, as bear hunters seek large, trophy-sized male bears deep in the woods, not in our neighborhoods. Rather than killing this slow-to-reproduce species, people can employ commonsense measures to minimize encounters with bears, like using bear-resistant trash cans and feeding pets indoors."

New week, new music and this one's a bit of a grower. The first half's pleasant enough but stick with it and you'll be rewarded with a damn fine psych pop meltdown. Probably best not to watch the vid before lunch though...especially if you're having Taramasalata.

Charlie - Spacer Woman
S'Friday again. Whoop! And what better way to soundtrack the last few hours of the working week (for most of us at least) than a little early 80s Italian disco/house. You could spend several lifetimes trawling through this stuff on You Tube but I've settled for the still rather futuristic sounding Spacer Woman by Charlie, complete with an ever so slightly trippy video. Enjoy.

Wake of the Dawn - The Gravity Drive
Cop of load of this cinematically epic new track from Dorset based band The Gravity Drive. Pretty much perfect for the next Bond theme in my humble opinion. It's a taster for their new album due out later this year and if the rest of it's this good, boom, there's your Christmas present dilemma sorted. You're welcome.

Stop The Flapper going down the crapper
Add N to X, Arab Strap, Catatonia, Idlewild, Space, Bis, Mistys Big Adventure, Everything Everything, Ten Benson, King Adora, Islet, O Children, Acid Mothers Temple, Editors, Pull Tiger Tail, Doll and the Kicks, Miles Hunt, Off The Cuff Festivals...the list of great bands and entertaining nights I've had at The Flapper goes on and on. Sadly it looks as though one of Brum's best loved venues of the last 20 years or so might be going the way of so many small venues these days. Ruddy flats. I despair, I really do. It happened in London and now it's happening in Brum. Rip out the heart and soul of the City in exchange for rabbit hutch sized flats that can be flogged for a fortune to poor sods who won't be able to afford to go out - even if there were any venues left - 'cos they're paying £2000 a month for their mortgage. Agggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
Anyway, there's a petition to stop this madness right here. Please sign it. Thank you.

Snooky Fest @ Warren Farm, Dawlish - Saturday July 15th 2017
Having had a little hand in putting on a few festivals in my time I know just how much hard work, planning, money...more hard work...blood, sweat and tears goes into them, not just on the day itself but the many months beforehand too. So even before getting on site I was stuffed full of admiration for the organisers of Snooky Fest for getting to this stage.
Pretty soon it became clear they'd nailed it too, from the lovely handpainted signs all on the way into the site through to the mix of stalls, number of loos (oh so important for a festival), security and sound (big up to the sound dudes who did a cracking job all day). Atmosphere's key at a festival and Snooky Fest just felt right from start to finish. In between the crowd were treated to a wonderful mix of music from the main stage's opening act Brother Of The Walrus's funk filled classics packed set right through to Eventine's brilliantly eclectic mix of covers climaxing – in true festival style – with some fireworks.
There were many highlights but personal picks of the bunch were Keir and Seven Cities, the first coming from Bristol the second...well...apparently they're from some place called Dawlish. Past single Troubled Mind's a blues rock belter with Muse-tastic guitar solos and enough punch to make Royal Blood sound positively anaemic.
They've got a good half dozen equally strong songs up their sleeves too though and with Black Sabbath now seemingly on a permanent sabbatical I'd like to think that Seven Cities could soon be filling their stadium filled hole. A seriously impressive performance.

Equally strong but adding a touch of soul and even gospel to the rock mix was Keir. Imagine if Freddie Mercury and Prince had got it on, the resulting lovechild might well have sounded a little like this. Good grief he's good. Prowling the stage, raising his hand to the heavens and beating his chest like a man possessed during set highlight Squeeze Me Keir's already a star, trust me, and once the rest of the world catches up you'll be seeing him on the Pyramid Stage at Glasto.
Other highlights? Oh go on then...deep breath...singer sonwriter Cloudi's cover of Lana Del Rey's Blue Jeans, Datura's sax-ual cover of Horace Andy's Skylarking, Wax Cylinders Reef-ish West Country rock, Ten Bob Notes Socks and Sandals ska smasher, Sarah Yeo's West Country meets West Coast Roadie, Ollie Stephens giving Gregory Porter a run for his money on Don't Lose Your Steam, N.U.M.B's marvellous mashing up of reggae, hip hop and dub, the punky, spunky Bunny Boilers getting the kids united Sham 69 style, Vivid Vague bringing a little Slits-ish attitude via self penned track Dolly and Eventine's riotous Uptown Funk. Thanks also to Ventons Cider for keeping us suitably refreshed (ahem) throughout the day with some of the finest pints this side of, well, anywhere.
It would be remiss of me not to mention the whole purpose of Snooky Fest and that's to raise dosh for The Snooky Trust which helps out people with physical illnesses between the ages of 18-40. We've not been in Dawlish long but it's clear they do some ruddy great work and hopefully the profits from this year's inaugural Snooky Fest will go on to help many more people and – fingers firmly crossed – bring this wonderful heart warming, booty shaking, good time vibe filled event back next year.

Snooky Fest...48 hours and counting...
The rain's done one, the temperature's rising and the sun's ruddy well shining too. Oh yes...and it's now just under 48 hours to Snooky Fest! You've missed out on the online sales but there may still be a few physical tickets at Curios in Dawlish or hopefully you can just pitch up on the day and pay £20 on the gate (as with all events there's a limit on numbers so if you want to get in get there at dawn's crack). As well as N.U.M.B there are more than a dozen other acts on the main stage (plus some special acoustic sets), here's just a selection to get you in the mood:
(trust me this dude will be MASSIVE)
As well as the music there's food, booze and stalls plus you'll be helping improve the lives of young people with a range of physical illnesses rather than lining the pockets of Live Nation or some other soulless corporate behemoths! Yeah...rock 'n' roll...stick it to the man...down with skool...start calling 'Snickers' Marathons again etc etc.

Great Lost Bands of the Noughties # 5 - Men Women and Children
Mixing up rock, disco and pop and putting on some blistering live shows Men Women and Children should have ended up soundtracking a generation of good times and headlining Glastonbury. For some inexplicable reason the band's record label seemingly failed to get behind their debut album and they fizzled out before the world had the chance to dance its tits off to some of the greatest party music ever made. It's never too late though, play the hell out of their tunes, run up to random strangers and start singing the songs, share this post with at least one million people and maybe, just maybe, the band will get through to as many men, women and, yes...you've guessed it...I'm nothing if not predictable...children that they deserved to the first time around.

Snooky Fest...it's the final countdown!
Just over a week to go until the very first Snooky Fest so if you haven't got your tickets yet - a mere £20 too - snap 'em up now! You can book online right here or if you're kickin' it old skool and like to have a physical ticket to sniff and rub against various parts of your anatomy you can pop into Curios on The Strand in Dawlish.
There's a great line up of bands, food and drink, stuff for the kids and grown ups who still think they're kids (that'll be most of us then) and apparently even the sun's been booked. Plus the whole shebang's raising money for The Snooky Trust which provides help and support for 18 - 40 years olds with any form of physical illness. Have fun, do good, drink cider...lots of cider...what's not to love eh?
To get you in the mood here's a little vid from someone who's set to be one of the many highlights of the day, Keir, who recently wowed the crowds at Glasto...

Let's Rock Exeter @ Powderham Castle, Saturday July 1st 2017
Having learnt our lesson last year we pitched up at just after 9am to ensure we got in on time for the first act. We weren't alone. Sensible souls even brought some booze with them to help pass the time, one group even had a seemingly never ending supply of sparkling wine and fresh orange but we made do with a plastic bottle full of red and a lukewarm sausage roll. Who says the age of elegance has passed eh?
As the gates opened at 10am and we got in without the 75 minute delay suffered back in 2016 we had a couple of hours to kill before the first band. Pint of cider? Don't mind if we do (I'll get to the music in a minute...the day wasn't just an orgy of alcohol...honestly). First up From The Jam (see, told you) and one of two bands today who are still doing their thang despite the original lead singer being AWOL. Actually in the case of From The Jam the drummer's not involved either so it's just Bruce Foxton (from the Jam...see what they did there?) but vocalist Russell Hastings does a damn good Weller (sound and looks wise) and first track That's Entertainment pretty much summed up the entire set.
Next up Big Country who sadly lost their lead singer, Stuart Adamson, not to another band or solo career but suicide back in 2001. Having reformed briefly in 2007 and then again in 2010 they've been through a few line up changes but now seem pretty settled. Some chap called Simon Hough's on lead vocals and after one or two minor sound issues (far too quiet Mr/Mrs Soundman) he more than held his own against the band's signature (Hadrian's) wall of guitars sound.
He may be wearing a lot more these days but Imagination's Leee John's still a nifty mover and that vocal's almost as high as it was back then, especially on a goosebump raising acappela intro to the band's biggest hit Just An Illusion. Not quite sure what the Storm Troopers were doing in the pit during Body Talk, who knows maybe Darth Vader was a closet disco and soul fan? Good to hear some new material too, apparently Do It Right Now is currently number one in the UK soul chart!? Speaking of 'Bugger me backwards I never knew that' moments who knew that Katrina (of 'and the Waves' fame) wrote Going Down to Liverpool famously covered by The Bangles? Not me. She informed us that it helped get her and the band signed though and not long afterwards came Walking On Sunshine which managed to get a fair number of the elderly audience (I can say that, I'm almost elderly myself) up and dancing.
I'd forgotten how fast the changeovers were at Let's Rock once the house band Retrobates were safely installed so I was in the loo when Toyah took to the stage with a rousing Good Morning Universe (it was afternoon but we'll let her off). Her slightly operatic brand of 80s punk was massive for a few years and despite nudging 60 big hit I Want To Be Free (released on my 11th birthday fact fans) was delivered with just as much snarling screw you attitude as she had as a 23 year old.
Right, how do you deliver a hits packed set when you...er...only really had one hit? Okay that's slightly unfair but do many of us remember I'm A Man Not A Boy? Anyway, Chesney Hawkes didn't let that get in the way of things, knocking out a crowd pleasing mix of covers kicking off with Summer of '69 and including Mr Brightside and I Predict A Riot before climaxing (steady ladies) with a triumphant The One and Only which unsurprisingly went down the proverbial storm.
From pop gold to a bit of a neglected soul diamond in my humble opinion in the form of Jaki Graham who...wait for it...stepped right up...and delivered one of the sets of the day. Boy that lady has soul and more great songs than perhaps you remember including the aforementioned Step Right Up, Could It Be I'm Falling In Love and Set Me Free. It was her Ain't Nobody cover (which reached the US Dance Charts number one slot in 1994) that stole the show though. Now that the late great Sharon Jones has joined that glorious soul club in the sky if the Dap Kings are looking for someone else to team up with Jaki Graham should be the first person they call. How about it chaps?
Fellow Midlander (Graham was born in Brum...as was Toyah of course...and me...and seemingly most of the inhabitants of Devon) Hazel O'Connor might not seem to share much in common with Chesney Hawkes but both he and she starred in film pretty much at the start of their careers. In O'Connor's case it was Breaking Glass, which I can't recall seeing, but I do remember loving the songs including today's set highlights D Days and the sultry noir pop of Will You replete with a truly stunning sax solo.
With barely time to pause for breath Jason Donovan set several thousand middle aged womens' hearts (and quite possibly other organs) a-fluttering again, although rubbing his nipples and repeating the words 'Grndr' over and over again may well have got some of the men going too, but we'd best not go into that eh? Ahem. From one pop pin up to another. I had a bit of a thing for Belinda Carlisle back in the day, I think it was that Heaven Is A Place On Earth video that did it but more importantly she put out some truly great pop records, Live Your Life Be Free, We Want The Same Thing (I don't think you do m'luv but a man can dream), Circle In The Sand and of course Heaven Is A Place On Earth which today started off acoustically before well and truly putting the 'rock' into Let's Rock.
Still with me? Good 'cos Howard Jones would Like To Get To Know You Well. I have a lot of respect for Howard, he seems a good (vegetarian) egg and continued to write and record new stuff when a lot of his peers traded purely on past glories but at the same time he knows what the crowd at a show like this wants and he duly dished up the hits, albeit with a few tweaks notably New Song's Powderham Castle / South West specific lyrics and the banging Euro house climax to set closer Things Can Only Get Better.
As a number of the crowd gently stewed in a combination of booze and sun (the weather was most un-festival-like all day) Spandau Ballet's Tony Hadley joined 'em sipping from a generous glass of Jack Daniel's in between playing his own hits and one or two impressive cover version too, opening up with Bowie's Life on Mars and "For Fred, my friend and inspiration" a suitably bombastic Somebody To Love. I could've done without Kings Of Leon's The One but that's more down to my lack of enthusiasm for anything they've ever recorded or done rather than Hadley's rendition of it...but still...there are much better songs to showcase Tone's voice than this one and he saved the best till last. A solid Gold performance all round from one of 80's pop's most instantly likeable and down to earth stars.
Finally – and after a bit of a wait – Level 42. Not sure if there were some technical difficulties but the set didn't get going until almost 9.45pm leaving the band with just 45 minutes to jazz-funk the place to bits. Good grief, I reckon Mark King could knock out a 45 minute slap bass solo on his own. On the plus side it meant the set was all killer and no filler Level 42 classics a go go with Livin' It Up (The Sun Goes Down) soundtracking the sunset (neat eh?), neglected classic Starchild (sung as ever by the falsetto-ly fabulous Mike Lindup) and a Something About You/Lessons In Love medley.
Okay so Let's Rock Exeter won't win the award for the coolest festival around, some of the sets are a bit blink and you'll miss 'em and maybe Level 42's set closer Sons and Daughters should perhaps be renamed Grandsons and Granddaughters given the average age of the audience and artists but it's all bloody good fun, the crowd are generally well behaved (one or two drunken dickheads but that's life) and for a touch under £50 you'd frankly be hard pressed to have more fun with your clothes on.

Grungy Monday 09 : Shabby Chic
This week's Grungy Monday technique is the wonderful Shabby Chic technique - the very first Tim Holtz technique I learnt and one which I used to do all the time but which I have sadly got out of the habit of using.
As Grungy Monday celebrates everying Tim Holtz, Linda has taken us back to Tim's 12 Tags of Christmas 2007. If you click the link here you will be transported back to Tim's blog and the details of the technique.
I am just loving these Dance stamps and just had to get them out again, so my Shabby Chic technique was done on blue card using Hero Arts French Script stamp (one of my favourites!) and I used a Ranger Pearl Dabber. I do love blue and white - crisp but soothing at the same time. I had intended to make a large white "floppy" fabric flower, but got carried away and stuck these paper ones down instead!
Click the link here to Studio 3 to see wonderful examples from Guest Designers Jennie and Kaz, Linda's wonderful heart warming tropical piece and a heap of wonderful examples from other bloggers.
I'm still having problems leaving comments on some sites, so apologies!
Have a good week everyone.

Officials dispute Bevin's claim about why Volvo didn't choose Kentucky
Automaker Volvo and Swedish officials dispute Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin's recent claim that Volvo refused to consider locating a production plant in Kentucky in 2015 because the state did not have a so-called "right-to-work" law at the time.
Insider Louisville reported Friday that a spokeswoman for the Embassy of Sweden denied Bevin's claim that Ambassador Bjorn Lyrvall told the governor that Volvo would have set up shop in Kentucky if it had a law that allows employees to work in unionized workplaces without paying union dues. Also, Volvo Car USA denied that a right-to-work law was a requirement as it searched for locations.
"I sat next to the ambassador from Sweden a couple of weeks ago who told me Volvo wanted to be here," Bevin said during his State of the Commonwealth Address. "Volvo could have been here, would have been here, had we been serious about passing right to work, had we shown any interest in them as a company with any real significance, they would have been here. Those are the kind of companies that want to see this."
In a response to Insider Louisville, the ambassador's spokeswoman, Monica Enqvist, said "there must be some kind of misunderstanding with regard to what the Ambassador said during his talk with Gov. Matt Bevin of Kentucky."
Insider Louisville also reported that Volvo Car USA replied to a tweet about Bevin's comments by saying "We have never confirmed which locations we considered, but a 'right to work' bill was not a requirement."
Volvo broke ground on a factory in Berkeley County, South Carolina on Sept. 25, 2015. Production of the Volvo S60 is expected to begin there in late 2018. The company must invest $600 million and create 2,000 jobs by Dec. 31, 2023, in order to get more than $200 million in incentives from the state and county, according to The State newspaper in Columbia, S.C.
Bevin's office did not respond to a request for comment, according to Insider Louisville.
Kentucky's Republican-led General Assembly approved a "right-to-work" law last month over the loud protests of union workers. Bevin immediately signed it into law.

Two Charged with Arson in Connection with Guernsey Fire
by Rich Denison, K2 Radio
Two arrests have been made in connection with the fire at Guernsey State Park earlier this month that burned over 2,700 acres, authorities have announced.
Awaiting arraignment on third-degree arson charges in the Platte County jail are Thomas Pierson and Stephanie Schultz, both 36 and of Torrington. The two stand accused of allowing their campfire to get out of control, leading to the June 9th fire.
Guernsey State Park was under a fire ban. The fire closed the park through June 17.
