RV Tenant's Past Sours Mayor on Tax Phase-In
July 12, 2010 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on RV Tenant's Past Sours Mayor on Tax Phase-In
Allan Kauffman, mayor of Goshen, Ind., announced Friday afternoon (July 9) that he was vetoing a tax phase-in approved for local businessman Carl Van Gilst after the facts of his proposed tenant's criminal history came to light in the days following the Goshen City Council's decision, the Goshen News reported.
"The reason that I'm vetoing it is because in the resolution, it states that one of the findings that's in the state statute that the council has to make is that the jobs being promised can be reasonably expected to happen," Kauffman said, "and I have to question that had the council known everything before the meeting that they're learning now, would they have decided that they could reasonably expect these jobs to occur."
The mayor said that if Van Gilst still wants to pursue the phase-in and the council wants to override the veto or reconsider the phase-in in another fashion, members would at least have more information with which to make their decision.
"If they still decide to give the tax abatement, I won't stand in the way of that," Kauffman said.
Van Gilst's proposed tenant, Ray Belcher, 50, who recently relocated from Goshen to Warsaw, was convicted in 2008 of embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars from his last company, Sturgis, Mich.-based Cikira RV. As part of his sentence, Belcher was ordered to pay more than $652,000 in restitution and barred from having any debt, either through credit cards or loans, and must even use a pre-paid cell phone.
Belcher said Friday he has worked out a payment plan and is not worried that it might interfere with his abilities to create a successful new company.
"Everything was taken into account with the business plan, and if anything, this will aid my ability (to pay the restitution)," Belcher said.
Belcher said his past has not and will not cause any problems and has no problem with the public knowing about it.
"I think people deserve to know," he said. "And as far as vendors that I have talked to and dealers that have known me from the past, they are aware of my background and it doesn't seem to affect their wanting to do business with me.
"Probably the majority of those people I've done business with for more than 20 years and they continue to offer support."
City Council president Tom Stump said he is willing to look at the issue of Belcher's ability to create the 25 jobs and investigate it further. Should the council hear positive information, he said, he could support still awarding the phase-in.
"We need to have somebody tell us — that's knowledgeable about these things — that yes, under these circumstances, this man stands a good chance of succeeding in this business or no, he doesn't," Stump said. "At this point, I don't know who that person would be."
Stump said he suggested both to Van Gilst and to Goshen City Council member Darryl Riegsecker that if Van Gilst would provide a gentleman's agreement or promise to return the money to the city and other taxing units if the jobs are not created, it would make supporting the phase-in much easier.
"If he would be willing to do that, I think that would provide an incentive for the council to go ahead and overturn the veto or provide another resolution," Stump said.
Riegsecker is Van Gilst's stepson and also the acting Realtor for the 2502 Dierdorff Road property. He was absent at the last council meeting and said he wouldn't have voted on the issue even if he was there due to a conflict of interest.
Riegsecker was notified of some of Belcher's history by Goshen city attorney Larry Barkes before Tuesday's council meeting with the intention of having him relay the information to Van Gilst. None of the information, however, was mentioned at the meeting.
"I didn't bring anything up because I was out of town during the meeting and I didn't know whether the attorney was going to say anything or not, what they were going to bring up," Riegsecker said. "We really didn't know a whole lot. We knew he spent some time in jail for embezzlement, but to me he served his time, he got out of jail. So are you guilty your whole life?"
Riegsecker said what people need to understand most is that the phase-in is for Van Gilst, not for Belcher.
According to Kauffman, the reason Barkes didn't mention anything at the meeting was because with the limited information available at that time, he didn't feel it was the city's responsibility to insert itself between two private individuals and their agreement.
"Now maybe if we had known everything ahead of time, Larry might have felt differently about that. I don't know," Kauffman said.
Stump said he will take the weekend to think more about the issue before calling the other council members to find out how they each feel.
"Maybe we need a special meeting to work some of these things out," Stump said. "Maybe the council members feel so adamant against it and there's no need to investigate it further. I haven't talked to anyone but Darryl and I haven't thought it through completely."
For Belcher, the mayor's decision to veto the phase-in was not a negative since the council would be looking deeper into the issue.
"I think that's fantastic, I really do," he said.
Belcher said his main problem is that the focus is not where it should be, in his opinion.
"The Goshen City Council made a positive move to bring business to the Goshen community and … it's unfortunate that things would focus on me and not the importance of what happened at the City Council," he said. "It is my past, and I think there will be some fantastic things that come out of it."

Your live blogger for this game will be young Kevin Whitaker, who blogs high school sports at the Albany Times-Union and said he wanted "an opportunity to swear more." Here's your fucking opportunity.
Ha, thanks for the introduction Suss, though I will disappoint you all from the start and say I'm not sure exactly how much I will take advantage of that opportunity. After all, I do have a reputation to uphold, and you never know who's watching. (Possibly being paranoid here, but my guess is most colleges I have active applications to aren't as appreciative of dead baby jokes as most of the Deadspin readership.) Anyways, I don't quite fit into the mold of your typical sports blogger. I'm not a 33-year-old male who lives with his parents, spends all his time surfing the internet and watching sports on TV and wishes he could play like they do...I'm actually a 17-year-old male who lives with his parents, spends all his time surfing the internet and watching sports on TV and wishes he could play like they do, which apparently makes it all cool.
So, let's do this thing. I live in the Albany area, so I'll be pulling for my hometown Siena, fulfilling the "without discretion" tenant of Deadspin. I may not be able to do the same work as the four people did at the last game in this region, but damn it, I'm going to try.
Siena went 26-7 and won the MAAC* regular-season title, then clinched the NCAA berth in its home building, the Times Union Center in Albany. Call it karmic justice if you will, but they now have to more or less go on the road and play Ohio State in Dayton; the Buckeyes went 22-9 and lost to Purdue in the Big 10 championship.
*The "M-A-A-C", according to Dick Vitale (he says each letter like that). I get why he does it, since the MAC has been more nationally relevant recently, but Albany-area fans might be able to back me up on this: They played a radio commercial locally for the MAAC tournament, which involved Vitale for some reason, and he still did his "M-A-A-C" thing, which annoyed the crap out of me...if you say "MAAC" (one word) around here, we're definitely thinking of the one with two a's.
You'll hear plenty tonight about Siena's nonconference schedule, which was brutal...they played Tennessee, Oklahoma State, Pitt, and Kansas, all on the road or neutral, though they lost all four games. You'll recall that this team beat Vanderbilt in the 4-13 game last year; Vandy was terribly overrated, but Siena has everybody back except for sixth man Tay Fisher (who did play a big part in that game).
A couple stark contrasts in this game. Siena plays at the 16th-fastest pace in the country, averaging 71.9 possessions per game, while Ohio State is #289 with 63.4. And, according to some neat graph I found yesterday, Siena is the most consistent team in the tourney, while OSU is the third-most inconsistent.
Siena tries to force the issue defensively to get into transition; they'll run off turnovers, missed baskets, made baskets, timeouts, and anything else they can. When forced to play a halfcourt game, they generally eschew playcalling and run a freewheeling motion offense. Ohio State's offensive philosophy is to have the player with the ball curl up in the fetal position for the first thirty seconds of the shot clock. At least that's what I'm told. Big 10 pace jokes aside (don't worry, there are more coming), OSU runs their entire offense through top scorer Evan Turner in crunch time, though he isn't their nominal point guard, and goes with four guys on the perimeter around first-team all-Atlas Dallas Lauderdale or B.J. Mullens.
Looks like I'm leading off among the late games...
For whatever it's worth, I picked Siena in my bracket, but mainly because I didn't want to be that guy who picked against the hometown team and was wrong. I probably would have picked OSU if I lived in any other region of the country.
18:52 More than a minute gone, and still only one possession for each team...good news for OSU. Neither team on the board yet after a shot clock violation.
18:23 A Ryan Rossiter putback for Siena opens the scoring; Rossiter is the one key guy that wasn't a big part of last year's team but has really broken out as a threat this season.
17:29 Siena finally gets to run, but Kenny Hasbrouck gets fouled before he can finish. One of two FTs give Siena a 3-2 lead.
17:00 Siena gets a rebound and pushes the ball up, but OSU gets guys back and turns it into a transition opportunitiy, which William Buford finishes with a vengeance.
16:15 Ouch, the Saints are just getting killed inside right now. They're not very deep inside, either, with hometown boy Josh Duell limited to probably just a small amount of playing time due to a partial tear in his calf.
14:05 Finally, Siena gets an outside shot to fall. OSU 8, Siena 8.
13:40 Someone should tell Siena that they're great in transition. Because right now they sure aren't looking like it.
13:40 Fun Fact: Ohio State does not have a senior on their roster.
13:40 Six minutes in and you can officially cross "Siena's upset last year" off your bingo card. I knew that was a gimme.
12:00 Ohio State also has a white big man who grew up in their area, B.J. Mullens. He gets an easy basket inside, and it's OSU 13, Siena 8.
10:43 Cleveland State's up ten on Wake already? Siena keeps missing shots (4/17 at this point)...
9:38 And cross off "Where is Siena?" as well. Another big difference between the teams: Siena is the smallest school (by enrollment), while OSU is second-largest. The game seems to be going that way right now too.
9:07 Sharpshooter Clarence Jackson, playing the role of Tay Fisher this year, hits a three, followed by a very tough and awkward shot by Rossiter that somehow falls. OSU 17, Siena 15.
7:59 Buckeye sighting. Very intimidating. At least a Saint Bernard could, like, jump on top of you and suffocate you, and stuff...
7:17 There is a lot of red in that arena. Um...CBS just cut away from the Siena game...do you know where you are? It's not even on the CBS2 that Time Warner gives me. They claim they're going back soon, but I'm loading up MMOD just in case (man, I love being a 21st century kid).
5:05 Thank you,
Robert Greg Gumbel (no idea where that came from), for graciously sending me back to Dayton. One mysterious bucket for each team, but the way these teams are shooting, we could go away for the final five minutes and not miss much.
4:15 I have seen more missed dunks in this tournament than I can ever remember. These goshdarn kids these days ain't got no fundamentals! Lew Alcindor, now there was a REAL basketball player! Alex Franklin misses a putback off a missed Rossiter layup, and Siena misses a golden transition opportunity.
4:00 Alley-oop to Edwin Ubiles makes up for it somewhat. OSU 21, Siena 19.
3:03 One effect of Siena's transition game that does not show up directly in the box score: They're forcing OSU to get back early, and as a result the Buckeyes only have one offensive rebound. Of course, on the next possession, their second leads to a Jeremie Simmons three.
2:02 Ubiles misses a three-footer, but Simmons is called for traveling in the backcourt. The NCAA Tournament - where the best basketball players in the nation come to shine!
1:41 Yeah, I'd probably be asleep now if I didn't have a rooting interest in this game. Pretty sure most of you are over at the Cleveland St-Wake liveblog now (or, even better, actually out doing something).
1:10 Mullens scores, then Hasbrouck misses another shot right under the basket. Can't wait to see Siena's first-half shot chart - a row of X's in a three-foot circle around the basket.
:26 I know I'm not the first nor the last person to say this, but...can we please get a no-charge circle in the NCAA already? Like, yesterday?
Halftime: Ohio State 28, Siena 23. An absolutely ugly end-of-half possession for OSU...there's no way that the "by the book" strategy is the most effective one there, right? Like, whatever teams usually do, it never works. I think the halfcourt shot is just about as effective.
The Big 10 really needs to be excommunicated from college basketball...I'm blaming them for this slopfest just because it's easy. (Not like Siena's the one shooting 20ish percent or anything.)
One of the live-bloggers brought this up yesterday, and I regret that I cannot give credit where it's due because I'm too lazy...can Sonic please start opening up in the northeast? Like, I don't think there's one within ten hours of here. I know their food's probably crap, but damn it, I want to find out for myself, and they advertise all the freaking time.
I guess I've always taken this for granted, but Storming the Floor has this to say about the Saint Bernard:
Best Mascot: This one's not even fair. The nod easily goes to the Siena Saints, who boast perhaps the best logo in all college sports.
Really, 51 points? The over-under on this game was apparently 141.5 or thereabouts...well, we're almost a third of the way there. Maybe a 24-second shot clock is in order? Or, you know, a basket that's three times the normal size?
19:38 And we're back...Ubiles starts the half off with a made layup, giving us all hope that we might see some points in the second half.
19:09 Quick scoreboard check...Wake Forest is down nine, Wisconsin down twelve. Bracket-picking, I wish I knew how to quit you.
18:40 Lauderdale wide open for a dunk. Glad he didn't go to school where I live...if I were writing about him in high school, I can't imagine how many "putting his team on the map" puns people would have been subjected to.
17:33 Off-topic but...that Arizona win is really pissing me off. They didn't deserve to be in the tournament (lost five of their last six, 2-9 on the road with the wins over the worst teams in the league), so I picked against them out of spite, even though they're obviously more talented than Utah.
16:53 Buford hits a baseline jumper, and Ohio State has what I think is their biggest lead of the night. OSU 36, Siena 27.
16:25 Rossiter gets fouled twice on the floor on one possession, paving the way for Ubiles to hit a three. Hasbrouck's still been remarkably quiet.
16:25 Exciting news, according to this commercial: If you buy Degree deodorant, you can go 90 mph down the freeway the wrong way between two trucks on a shopping cart. Since we're still talking commercials (no idea how many of you are watching on TV or if you're seeing the same things I am), did everybody really hate that Polamalu/Joe Green commercial at the Super Bowl (just on again)? I thought it was kinda funny, better than you could say about most of them.
15:42 Important news from the CBS graphic people: "Eye of the Tiger" has been played 98 times so far this tournament. How badly would it suck to have that job? I guess it would be cool to be at the tournament and stuff, but if it means listening to twenty different bands play the same song a hundred times (and counting), it might be hard to swallow.
14:27 Turner hits a three, and all of a sudden it's OSU 41, Siena 30. This is getting out of control fast.
14:27 Does this count?
14:27 Siena's FG% has inched up to 29%. More importantly, they only have four points off turnovers (the plodding Buckeyes have 15). Hasbrouck jacks up an NBA three, which is, um, not exactly what the coach means when he says be patient. More like the opposite.
13:19 Ubiles on a break, nobody in front of him...and he misses a dunk spectacularly. CBS may have to dump the "One Shining Moment" this year and replace it with a blooper reel instead, to the tune of William Hung.
12:26 And yet, Siena's finding a way to come back somehow. Ronald Moore makes some fancy moves and finds Alex Franklin under the hoop; one of two free throws makes the score OSU 41, Siena 35.
11:37 Franklin cuts the lead to four with a tenacious drive, and OSU has got absolutely nothing going on offense right now.
11:12 I see OSU's trying to break the 7-0 run with their "pass the ball around 30 feet from the basket" play. Gutsy call. It ends somewhat predictably, with Turner forcing a shot late in the clock and missing.
10:39 Rossiter is wide open on the opposite block for about a decade, finally receives the pass from Franklin, and finishes to cut the lead to OSU 41, Siena 39. Saints force a turnover on the other end, and can tie or take the lead here.
9:40 DJ Hill hits a three to finally break the streak. Other scores, in case you're too lazy to click over to somewhere else: Wisconsin opened the second half on a 13-0 run to take a one-point lead over FSU, Cleveland State continues to have a nine-point lead on Wake, and Michigan State is running away with their game.
9:00 Hasbrouck drives but is called for a travel...sure hope he gets another chance, because this is not the way you want a senior as great as he has been to go out. Moore misses a layup in transition, may have been deflected.
8:10 But OSU seems determined to give them opportunities; a pass directly to Moore, who makes the uncontested layup this time, then a traveling call in the backcourt. Either way, Louisville is licking their chops right now.
7:45 Timeout. Score remains OSU 45, Siena 43.
6:39 Won't somebody please think of the children? Dumb travel by Hill as the game's lack of fundamental play is moving past humorous sportswriter cliche and into legitimately embarrassing territory.
4:55 Jon Diebler finally connects on a three-ball, this one from NBA range, and it's OSU 49, Siena 43. Hasbrouck misses a trey on the other end and Siena is called for a rebounding foul.
4:30 Siena needs a bucket here...and they go to Hasbrouck, who creates a midrange jumper from the wing and connects.
3:51 Moore finds Franklin with a sweet dish and finish to cut the lead to two...the basketball gods decide to smite Buford on the other end, as his shot goes in and out of the bucket.
2:55 Rossiter all alone inside...and we're tied! 49-all.
2:35 It's Turner time...the Buckeye star hits a pull-up jumper from the elbow to retake the lead. Moore misses a three on the other end. Neither team really wants to take this game, giving away just enough momentum at just the right moments.
1:51 After two free throws from Turner, Hasbrouck misses a shot from the baseline, but Ubiles is there to clean up. OSU 53, Siena 51.
1:20 Two more freebies for Turner after an odd foul by Moore, but Hasbrouck answers with one of his own. Rossiter and Hasbrouck fight with Buford for a loose ball after the second, but get charged with a questionable foul instead.
:56 One of two for Buford; bad possession for Siena on the other end. OSU ball with under a minute left; Buckeyes lead 56-52.
:47.0 Mullens misses two FTs for OSU. Hasbrouck finally connects with a three, fed by Ronald Moore, and yet again Siena's made things interesting. OSU 56, Siena 55.
:8.0 12-second difference between game and shot clocks...wonder who's taking this shot. Turner misses, Moore finds Hasbrouck on the other end, who is fouled hard. Biggest two free throws of his life.
:8.0 First shot...off the back iron. Seriously, no pressure. Second one is good, OSU has eight seconds to put the ball in the basket or else we're headed to overtime. Rooting for OT, but even if not we'll see the tourney's first legit buzzer beater, so we'll at least get an exciting ending to what has been a less-than-stellar game.
End 2nd Half: Siena sticks with the trap, which OSU hasn't been breaking quickly the entire game...Turner gets the ball on the wing, drives through a couple defenders, and actually gets a decent, albeit off-balance, look, but can't get the ball to fall. The ball winds up in Hill's hands with less than a second left and he gets off another shot, but doesn't connect and you're stuck with me for at least another five minutes.
Siena has to be feeling pretty good going into OT...they clearly have the momentum, Hasbrouck's finally starting to get hot (though he does have four fouls), and their press may be wearing OSU down.
4:42 Hasbrouck gets things started right, making a drive look easy. Saints have their first lead since the second minute of play. Siena 58, OSU 56.
3:44 Buford settles for a leaner instead of waiting for help in transition, but misses and Hill gets called for a rebounding foul; Rossiter hits both free throws. Four-point game.
3:09 Diebler hits his second three of the contest (2/10) to bring the Buckeyes within one. Rossiter called for his fourth foul chasing down a loose ball on the other end. Both free throws are good. OSU 61, Siena 60.
1:50 After a bunch of passing down low, Buford fouls Ubiles (his fourth). The junior makes both free throws to regain the lead. Siena 62, OSU 61.
1:40 Wisconsin and Florida State are going down to the wire as well right now. Wake is done, Michigan State won. Coverage just switched to the FSU game during the timeout, hopefully will go back.
1:20 Lob ball to Mullens on an inbound play, and OSU is back ahead. Hasbrouck stripped on the other end.
:30 Not sure of everything that happened, because CBS cut away to the Wisconsin game to see the last shot, only cut back about three seconds too soon (it wasn't good). OSU holds till the end of the shot clock (:14 difference), misses, but Mullens gets a huge rebound; Hill gets fouled with :9.1.
:9.1 Damn, this is intense. Basketball is the best.
End 1st OT: Hill hits both...but Moore takes the ball down the court, pulls up, and hits the three with :3.5 to play. Diebler actually gets off a good look from 28 feet or so on the other end, but the ball bounces off the inside rim. We're headed for (yet another) overtime. Damn Syracuse for cheapening this whole experience.
What a shot by Moore...now that's what this tournament is made of. First 2OT game since the first round in 07 (Vandy over Washington State), for those of you not watching CBS.
4:08 OT2: Neither team scores on their first possession. Ubiles drives for Siena and is fouled; he makes one but the Saints control the rebound.
3:43 Franklin in the post gets fouled (Turner's fourth). Hits two of two. Siena 68, OSU 65.
3:35 OSU's been doing some strange stuff to break the press, but over the past eight minutes or so, it's generally been working.
2:18 Ubiles and Hasbrouck both have opportunities to make it a two-possession game, but neither connects. Turner hits a big jumper on the other end when Ubiles gives him plenty of space...after plenty of deliberation, it's ruled a three.
1:40 Since CBS is taking me here...hell of a drive and shot in the Wisconsin game - bucket and one by Hughes with :2.0 to go up two.
:35 Missed a lot in the Siena game...bucket for each team (Ubiles for Siena, didn't see a replay of the OSU bucket). Hill called for a touch foul on Moore, who makes one. Siena 71, OSU 70.
:17 Turner with a huge, huge drive. 72-71.
3.9:McCaffrey lets his guys play, the ball ends up in Ronald Moore's hands with five seconds left, he shoots from beyond the arc again and...swish! Moore's second huge three at the end of an OT gives the Saints a two-point lead. Siena 74, OSU 72 (3.9 remaining)
End 2nd OT: Turner goes the length of the court and takes an off-balance 19-footer...hits off the rim. Siena is into the second round for the second time in as many years. Huge win for the program, huge night for Ronald Moore, and Ohio State has to feel bad about this one.
If you told the Buckeyes they could force Ronald Moore to hit two threes to win the game, they certainly would have taken that...Moore didn't hit a single trey in the four games before this one (and missed his first four tonight). But he came through when it counted, to say the least, and will be one of Saturday morning's biggest heroes. Certainly not a great game overall, but you can't complain about the way it ended.
For Ohio State...you were Big 10 tournament finalists, you're a power-conference team, and you held an 11-point lead on a mid-major in the second half, playing essentially at home. Siena could not make a shot early in the game, but OSU could never fully take advantage; each time it seemed they were close to ending the game they would let Siena get on a run. Good teams have to do better than that. They turned the ball over way too many times late in the game, and let the game go to overtime, where crazy things can happen.
On the other side...Siena goes almost on the road and beats a favored BCS squad. They played awfully in the first half, at least offensively, but for now they have to be considered right up there with the best mid-major schools after winning tourney games in consecutive years. They played from behind the whole game but fought back well, and got the right shots at the right time. They obviously won't beat Louisville playing like this, and probably won't no matter what, but I'm looking forward to seeing them try.
Guess I'm closing up shop here. Thanks to Suss for giving me this opportunity, and thanks to both teams for playing a very exciting game. If you enjoyed it, glad I could help, and if you didn't, screw off. Now, back to your regularly scheduled Deadspin...

I had been feeding Dudley Innova EVO for months, I went to purchase
somemore a while back and the uneducated employee scared the
pants of me, (well not in the store)
He informed me it causes kidney problems, I have tried ever other kibble
on the market and he does not seem to eat it he will hold out for 2 to 3 days I decided to try giving him the EVO again and he gobbled it up.
Has anyone in United Kingdom ever heard of this.
I am going to switch him back to raw, which he was originally eating
about 1 year ago. How do I introduce the raw if he is presently just
started eating EVO again ????????????????
I am concerned about just giving him straight EVO as it is protein based
so how do I get the veggies in, I heard that if the veggies are not
pureed the dog does not get any nutrients from them.
I also called the company about the coments the employee said to me
about EVO they advised this is not true. I remember when I was feeding
completely raw, whenever I would take the chill out of his food in the
microwave he took off, that is why I stopped I am thinking of trying
another brand.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

We Hold These Truths To Be Self-Evident
by Paul Aron, from his book "We Hold These Truths...and Other Words that Made America"
ON JUNE 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee, following the instructions of the Virginia Convention, introduced a resolution at the Continental Congress in Philadelphia "that these United colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved." The Continental Congress adopted Lee's resolution and then appointed a committee of fiveJohn Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, Thomas Jefferson, and Robert Livingstonto turn the resolution into a declaration of independence. Adams took charge and promptly assigned Jefferson to write a draft.
Jefferson did not want to do it. He watched Lee depart for home and longed to follow him. He was convinced that what was going on in Williamsburg, where the Convention's delegates were drafting a constitution for the newly independent commonwealth, mattered more than what was going on in Philadelphia. Jefferson had even written a draft constitution that he hoped the Convention would adopt. What was the point of independence if you didn't create the right form of government? "Should a bad government be instituted for us in the future," he wrote Thomas Nelson in May 1776, "it had been as well to have accepted at first the bad one offered to us from beyond the water without the risk and expense of contest."
Jefferson suggested Adams should draft the Declaration himself. Adams declined, giving several reasons, which he repeated years later in his autobiography:
- That he was a Virginian and I a Massachusettensian.
- That he was a southern Man and I a northern one.
- That I had been so obnoxious for my early and constant zeal in promoting the measure, that any draft of mine, would undergo a more severe scrutiny and criticism in Congress, than one of his composition.
- 4thly and lastly that would be reason enough if there were no other, I had a great opinion of the elegance of his pen and none at all of my own.
Adams's arguments, Jefferson had to admit, made sense. Jefferson went to work and, a day or two later, produced a draft of what would become the Declaration of Independence.
How he managed to write, in a matter of a day or two, the words that more than any others made America has been the subject of much debate. Part of the answer is he didn't start from scratch. He had with him in Philadelphia, and he clearly drew from, his own previous writings, including his 1774 Summary View of the Rights of British America, his 1775 "Declaration . . . Setting forth the Causes and Necessity of their taking up Arms," and his draft of a constitution for Virginia. He also had others' recent works at hand, most notably a draft of Virginia's Declaration of Rights, which was written by George Mason and adopted with amendments in the Virginia Convention. Mason's declaration opened by stating: "That all men are born equally free and independent, and have certain inherent natural rights, of which they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; among which are the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety." Jefferson's most famous words were clearly derived from Mason's; in Jefferson's rough draft of the Declaration, men were "created equal," they had "rights inherent and inalienable" (which he later changed to "inherent and inalienable rights"), and these rights included "the preservation of life, and liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" (which he later changed to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness").
Jefferson also drew from works that he did not have at his side in Philadelphia. He was familiar with the writings of seventeenth-century English writers, including John Milton, Algernon Sidney, and above all John Locke, who set forth a doctrine of natural rights in his Second Treatise on Government. He may also have drawn from Scottish philosophers, especially Francis Hutcheson.
Jefferson submitted his draft to Adams and Franklin, who made a few changes, among them that the rights Jefferson had declared to be "sacred and undeniable" were instead "self-evident." The committee then sent the document on to the Congress, which made a total of eighty-six changes. Most involved cutting (about a quarter of Jefferson's text was eliminated), but the Congress also played with Jefferson's language, for example changing "inherent and inalienable rights" to "certain inalienable rights." "Inalienable" later became "unalienable," probably when the Declaration was printed (the latter was more customary in the eighteenth century). Thus the words in their most familiar form: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
For Jefferson, seeing his words changed was agonizing, and some others also questioned the results. Richard Henry Lee wrote Jefferson that he wished "that the manuscript had not been mangled as it is." Franklin, Jefferson later recalled, "perceived that I was not insensible to these mutilations" and tried to console him by telling him a story about a hatter who wrote what he considered superb copy for a sign advertising his store, then watched his friends edit it down to simply his name and a picture of a hat. Jefferson's hat, this mangled manuscript, contained words that more than any made America; as Jefferson himself put it in 1824, the Declaration was "the signal of arousing men to burst the chains under which monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves."
Butwith so many sources and so many editorswas the Declaration truly Jefferson's?
Adams, who was admittedly jealous of Jefferson, later wrote that there was "not an idea in it, but what had been hackneyed in Congress for two years before." Jefferson denied he had copied any other writing: "I turned to neither book nor pamphlet while writing it," he insisted in an 1823 letter to James Madison. Jefferson did not deny, however, that the words of others, past and present, were on his mind. Indeed, it would hardly have been possible to secure Congress's support for independence had Jefferson's words not been, as he put it in an 1825 letter to Henry Lee, "an expression of the American mind." His purpose, he explained to Lee, had been "not to find out new principles, or new arguments, never before thought of, not merely to say things which had never been said before; but to place before mankind the common sense of the subject, in terms so plain and firm as to command their assent." The Declaration's authority, Jefferson rightly added, "rests . . . on the harmonizing sentiments of the day, whether expressed in conversation, in letters, printed essays, or the elementary books of public right, as Aristotle, Cicero, Locke, Sidney, etc."
By the 1820s, when Jefferson rose to defend his authorship, the Declaration was well on its way to becoming the premiere "expression of the American mind." Partly, this was because of partisan politics. When Jefferson emerged as the leader of the Republican Party, his supporters began to celebrate the "deathless instrument" penned by "the immortal Jefferson." Jefferson's opponents in the Federalist Party argued that he wrote only a "small part of that memorable instrument" and that what he did write "he stole from Locke's Essays." After the Federalists faded away and a new party system emerged, both parties claimed to be carrying on Jefferson's legacy, and both embraced the Declaration. Jefferson happily accepted the Declaration's new role. In 1824, when Congress sent him copies of a new facsimile edition, he expressed his pleasure at the evident "reverence for that instrument," which he viewed as "a pledge of adhesion to its principles and of a sacred determination to maintain and perpetuate them."
To later generations of Americans, the most important principle pledged in the Declaration was that of equality. Neither the Constitution nor the Bill of Rights asserted that all men were created equal. So it made sense that Americans seeking equality, whether workers or women or blacks, would turn to the Declaration. At the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848, women declared it "self-evident" that "all men and women are created equal." Abolitionists like William Lloyd Garrison urged, in 1847, the formation of a new government faithful to "the principles of the Declaration of Independence." At a Fourth of July celebration in 1852, Frederick Douglass asked the crowd: "Would you have me argue that man is entitled to liberty? That he is the rightful owner of his own body? You have already declared it." Most famously, in his 1863 Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln looked back four score and seven years ago to 1776, the year "our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."

Cummins Announces EPA Engine Certification
October 1, 2012 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Cummins Announces EPA Engine Certification
Cummins Inc. announced today (Oct. 1) that it has received certification for its ISX15 engine from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), meeting both the EPA 2013 regulations and the new greenhouse gas and fuel-efficiency rules that will take effect in 2014. According to a press release, Cummins 2014 greenhouse gas certification is the first engine certificate issued by the EPA.
Cummins ISX15, the top-selling engine in the heavy-duty truck market, will deliver higher levels of fuel efficiency and reliability in 2013. Efficiency improvements to the base engine include optimized combustion and reduced parasitic load through high-efficiency water, fuel and lube pump systems, and the ISX15 will achieve up to 2 percent fuel economy improvement over today's product. Cummins ISX15 for 2013 uses the same proven base engine with the XPI fuel system, VGT Turbocharger, Cummins Aftertreatment System with Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology, and fully integrated electronics.
"Cummins 2013 truck engines will deliver better fuel economy with no major hardware changes," said Jeff Jones, Cummins Vice President – Sales and Market Communications. "This results in improved reliability due to stable architecture.
"The certification of the ISX15 demonstrates Cummins commitment to deliver products that exceed both environmental and customer requirements. We are confident that we'll receive certification for our other on-highway engines well before the end of the year," Jones continued.
Cummins' entire lineup of on-highway engines for truck, bus, RV and specialty-vehicle markets will enter production on Jan. 2, 2013. All engines are expected to be certified a full year early to the 2014 greenhouse gas and fuel-efficiency rules.

Ryder Hesjedal, winner of the 2012 Giro d'Italia, has admitted to doping that took place over ten years ago.
The Canadian cyclist now rides for the Garmin-Sharp team, and insists that he has cleaned up his act.
"More than a decade ago I chose the wrong path," the 32-year-old was reported of admitting by BBC Sport.
"Even though those mistakes happened more than ten years ago, and they were short-lived, it does not change the fact I made them and I have lived with that and been sorry for it ever since."
Cycling suffered a huge dent to its reputation last year when Lance Armstrong – formerly a seven-time champion of the Tour de France – was stripped of his titles when it was revealed that he was a long-term drug cheat.
Armstrong and Hesjedal competed for the same team in 2004 and 2005, but the accusations that the latter took drugs refer to his time at Rabobank.
Danish cyclist Michael Rasmussen revealed that he showed his former teammate Hesjedal how to take EPO in 2003. Ramussen admitted earlier this year that he took banned substances throughout his 12-year career.
EPO, or Erythropoietin in full, is a performance-enhancing drug, which acts as a blood-booster. It is suspected that EPO was first used in cycling in the early 1990s and it became increasingly widespread.
In 1997, the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) tried to ban the substance with a new rule preventing riders testing above 50% haematocrit from racing.
Hesjedal claims that he has not used doping since 2003 though, and now wants to help cycling to clean its name.
"I believe that being truthful will help the sport continue to move forward," he added.
"Over a year ago when I was contacted by anti-doping authorities, I was open and honest about my past."

Hello I order this teeshirt but what you send me is ABSOLUTELY not the same. No colors, completely dull, fade... If your machine is runnig out of color why do you print ? Why do you send me a product so bad thinking (I suppose) that I will not react. I'm an artist myself I'm not blind ... Feel extremely bad and sorry to see and to be forced to react as I'm doing it today. Could you kindly let me know why you did it so ? I would appreciate your sincerity.

T-shrts were ordered on Nov 20th. After not receiving them and not getting any tracking info for more than two weeks I found out they never went to the printer! Based on the original shipping estimates they were to be shipped to where I would be at the time of estimated delivery with a few extra days built in on my end. Asked CS to change the shipping address so I don't have to get them shipped again back to my home address. No response to that and its been 48 hours. There are other print orders days past their shipping dates with no tracking information and no sign of the orders. The quality of products I've seen from FAA has been excellent but when orders don't ship on time, no tracking information is provided,and sometimes don't even make it to the printer for weeks (and nobody notices!!) and it can take two days to get a reply from someone, it is ridiculous! I've placed orders with more than 100 different retailers online and never had experiences like this. Mistakes happen, things stock out and shipping gets delayed but when that happens all companies keep you updated, let you know what is going on. If its going to take a month to receive something that was supposed to arrive in a week, well that sucks but at least let the customer know what is going on. The same thing happened two years ago. Prints ordered in early December did not arrive to a client until January and they were bent and chipped. It is time to step up!

Creating a dyslexia friendly classroom
Alumnus overcomes for self and students
By Katie Hudson ('10)
"When I look out at my class, I see myself," says Jared Setnar ('04M). That's because, like many of his students, Setnar is dyslexic.
Setnar teaches ninth- and 11th-grade history at Virginia Beach's Chesapeake Bay Academy, a private academy that offers learning-challenged students a more individualized environment. Students with attention disorders and dyslexia are the majority enrolled in the academy.
Setnar knows how frustrating it can be to overcome a learning challenge. During most of his education in public schools, he says that he resorted to "teaching himself." Dyslexia, Setnar says, "is something one can never be fully cured of." His dyslexia followed him to Virginia-Wesleyan College and on to JMU where he earned a master's in history.
Getting into grad school despite dyslexia
Throughout his education, test taking was the most difficult task, Setnar says. Because of his dyslexia, he does not perform well on standardized tests. After he explained his situation to professors in the JMU history department, they decided to waive Setnar's GRE scores. "I will never forget that, and I will always be grateful," he says.
A few years later, Setnar's mother saw an ad in the newspaper from Chesapeake Academy seeking a history teacher. "I was really excited to find this school that focuses on learning-challenged students. This is definitely a place that I would have wanted to go to school," Setnar says.
The school currently enrolls about 65 students, and classes consist of usually no more than six students. Technology plays a big role in Setnar's classroom. Each lesson has structured notes that Setnar calls "road maps to the lecture." Students can follow along during PowerPoint presentations, and classrooms have interactive white boards to facilitate learning.
Contagious energy, deep understanding
Erica Smith-Llera, principal of the upper school, says Setnar's teaching is not solely successful because of state-of-the-art technology. Setnar's ability to connect with the students is much more powerful. "His energy level is contagious, and students immediately become excited about the history he weaves into compelling stories," Smith says. "Each day, I not only hear, but I also feel, the learning going on in his classroom."
Setnar individualizes his teaching methods for particular students. Some may need one-on-one attention, while others need visual representations of subject matter. "I think it's very easy to teach learning-challenged students," he says. "Dyslexia is not an intellectual disability. These students have difficulty with language or reading, or other challenges, and they just need to handle their aggravation and stress differently. I understand their aggravation, and I can remind them that I am in the same boat they are."
Within two years of joining the Chesapeake Bay Academy faculty, Setnar has worked his way up to assistant principal of the upper school.
With his dyslexia, he knows what it was like to feel isolated and alone during high school, and he doesn't want any of his students to have that same kind of experience. "I am trying to be the principal I wish I had," Setnar says.
His new position requires a lot of work, but Setnar considers himself very lucky. "I might be a little tired when I leave work, but I feel satisfied and fulfilled eve

*Trust and Believe that Divine energy helps and heals. (Bruno Groening)*
The great number of healings that occur are documented in accordance with clinical anemneses. The MWF (the German name for the Medical Scientific Group (MWF) is Medizinisch-Wissenschaftliche Fachgruppe and the initials MWF are standard for all languages) in the Bruno Groening Circle of Friends, a forum of several thousand doctors and other professionals associated with healing, checks the reports and when possible, compiles documentations with medical comments based on the findings of independent doctors.
Everybody is free to consult a doctor in addition to receiving healing on the spiritual path. In his lifetime, Bruno Groening welcomed a collaboration with doctors. However, in accordance with the way he worked, there are no medical consultations, examinations or treatments in the Circle of Friends.
Affiliation to the Circle is voluntary and free of charge. There are also no national, ideological or confessional ties. All activities are free of charge. Costs are met by voluntary donations.

As we reported earlier this week, Apple is busy sending out cease and desist letters to small, defenceless projects to defend its trademark application (it doesn't actually own the trademark yet) for 'app store'. This has prompted many a discussion over the trademarkability of such a generic term, and over the origins of the abbreviation 'app'. Who came up with it? How old is it? To my surprise - the abbreviation is much older than you'd think, and in a way, it illustrates quite well the demise of the programmer. What? Read on.

The airwaves are abuzz today with the least surprising news since Lindsay Lohan entered rehab. Hillary Clinton is running for president. "I'm in. And I'm in to win," she says, after months of saying she hadn't given a presidential race any thought. Just my little pet peeve, though, that politicians could try harder to evade rather than actually lying.
For more than 15 years now, Hillary has been the incarnation of Big Government. She votes with taxpayers only 9 percent of the time, according to the National Taxpayers Union. She calls herself a "government junkie." She says, "There is no such thing as other people's children" and calls for "a consensus of values and a common vision" for 300 million people. She was best known in her White House years for heading a team of 500 bureaucrats organized into 15 committees and 34 working groups to recreate in 100 days one-seventh of the American economy. After health care, she told the New York Times, her next project would be "redefining who we are as human beings in the post-modern age." Or, as the Times put it, "She wants to make things right."
She just might be the scariest collectivist this side of Al Gore.
And yet…. And yet, she may end up running for the Democratic nomination against a gaggle of candidates who criticize her for being insufficiently devoted to bigger and more powerful government.
All the candidates who might have offered a more libertarian direction seem to have dropped out. Mark Warner and Evan Bayh might have campaigned on more sensible and centrist economic ideas. Russ Feingold would have run as a critic of the war in Iraq and the Patriot Act (and its extension in 2006), all of which he opposed and Hillary supported.
But who's left in the race? Barack Obama, whose only stated campaign position so far is that he is in favor of hope but who votes for even more spending than Hillary. As does John Kerry, who is turning his hearing aid up higher and higher, listening for the clamor for him to run again. And John Edwards, who in his second campaign is embracing more crank economic nostrums than Huey Long. And maybe the aforementioned Al Gore, the Lord Voldemort of liberty.
The Republicans are offering independent, centrist, and libertarian voters to the Democrats on a silver platter. And Democrats are about to compete to see who can do the most effective job of driving them away.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome, or PCOS, is a condition in which a woman's levels of the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone are out of balance. PCOS can cause problems with a women's menstrual cycle, fertility, cardiac function, and appearance.
Women with PCOS often produce higher-than-normal levels of androgen. Symptoms of PCOS typically start soon after a woman begins to menstruate. If a woman with PCOS is suffering from infertility, fertility drugs may be administered to aid in ovulation.
What is polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)?
Polycystic ovarian syndrome, or PCOS, is a condition in which a woman's levels of the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone are out of balance. This leads to the growth of ovarian cysts (benign masses on the ovaries). PCOS can cause problems with a women's menstrual cycle, fertility, cardiac function, and appearance.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, between 1 in 10 and 1 in 20 women of childbearing age suffers from PCOS. The condition currently affects up to 5 million women in the United States.
While the exact cause of PCOS is unknown, Gynecologists believe that hormonal imbalances and genetics play a role. Women are more likely to develop PCOS if their mother or sister also has the condition.
Androgen is a male sex hormone that women's bodies also produce. Women with PCOS often produce higher-than-normal levels of androgen.
Symptoms of PCOS typically start soon after a woman begins to menstruate. The type and severity of symptoms varies from person to person. The most common characteristic of PCOS is irregular menstrual periods.
Because PCOS is marked by a decrease in female sex hormones, this condition may cause women to develop certain male characteristics, such as:
– excess hair on the face, chest, stomach, thumbs, or toes
– decrease in breast size
– deeper voice
– thin hair
Other symptoms include:
– acne.
– weight gain.
– pelvic pain.
– anxiety or depression.
– infertility.
While not symptoms of the disease, many women with PCOS have other concurrent health problems, such as diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol. These are linked to the weight gain typical in PCOS patients.
There is no definitive test for PCOS. To make a diagnosis, your doctor will review your medical history and symptoms and perform tests to rule out other possible conditions. Your doctor will perform a physical and pelvic examination to look for signs of PCOS, such as swollen ovaries or a swollen clitoris.
Blood tests to measure hormone levels are typically ordered, as well as:.
– thyroid function tests to determine how much of the thyroid hormone your body produces.
– fasting glucose tests to measure your blood sugar levels.
– lipid level tests to assess the amount of cholesterol in your blood.
A vaginal ultrasound allows your gynecologist to create real time images of your reproductive organs. A pelvic laparoscopy is a surgical procedure in which your doctor makes a small incision in your abdomen and inserts a tiny camera to check for growths on your ovaries. If growths are present, your doctor may take a small tissue sample (biopsy) for further examination.
Treatment for PCOS is not curative. Treatment focuses on controlling symptoms and managing the condition to prevent complications. The treatment will vary from woman to woman, depending on specific symptoms.
A healthy diet and regular exercise is recommended for all women with PCOS, particularly those who are overweight. This can help to regulate your menstrual cycle and lower your blood glucose levels.
Women who don't want to become pregnant may be prescribed birth control pills. These can help treat acne, regulate the menstrual cycle, and lower levels of male hormones, such as testosterone, in the body. If a woman with PCOS is suffering from infertility, fertility drugs may be administered to aid in ovulation.
Anti-androgens are drugs that reduce male hormone levels. These can help stop excess hair growth and reduce acne. Diabetes medications may also be prescribed to lower blood glucose and testosterone levels.
Surgery may be recommended for some women with PCOS. Ovarian drilling is a procedure in which your doctor punctures your ovary with a small needle that carries an electric current, in order to destroy part of the ovary. This is a short-term solution that can promote ovulation and reduce male hormone levels.
Women with PCOS have a higher risk of developing:.
– hypertension (high blood pressure).
– high cholesterol.
– anxiety and depression.
– sleep apnea (when a person stops breathing periodically during sleep).
– endometrial cancer (cancer caused by thickening of the lining of the uterus).
– heart attack.
– diabetes.
– breast cancer.
If you become pregnant, your doctor may refer you to a doctor who specializes in high-risk pregnancies. Women with PCOS have a higher rate of miscarriage, gestational diabetes, and premature delivery. They may need extra monitoring during pregnancy.
The earlier your PCOS is diagnosed and treated, the lower your risk of developing these complications. Avoiding tobacco products and participating in regular exercise can also reduce your risk of some of these comorbidities. Talk with your doctor about what PCOS means for your overall health and how you can prevent serious complications.

Many popular prophecy teachers have created an end-time scenario very different from, and far more complex than, the one taught by Jesus. At the same time, they have rightly reminded many in the body of Christ that we should be ready for Christ's unexpected return.
Like the flood, the Son of Man's coming (Dan 7:13-14) would arrive as sudden and unexpected judgment, without explicit warning. Jesus' followers might recognize the completion of requisite signs (compare 1 Thess 5:4-6), but for outsiders, life would be business as usual (banquets and weddings, or grinding with a hand mill). This passage echoes the damnable folly of outsiders repeated throughout the Gospel tradition in general and Matthew in particular (as in 13:19; 15:10): they do not understand (24:27, 39). If Jesus means "taken in judgment" (Jer 6:11; 8:13; compare Ps. Sol. 13:11), the "taking" parallels the different expression in Matthew 24:39, where the flood took the wicked away (see Lk 17:34-37; contrast Sirach 44:16-17).
Keep watch does not mean "look for" or "anticipate immediately," but borrows the image of a night watchman at his post (Mt 24:42; 25:13; Ladd 1974b:208): the believer must remain prepared for the Lord's coming, remaining alert and awake (26:38, 40-41, 43-46). That the time of Jesus' coming is unknown does not preclude that some signs mentioned earlier in the passage will precede it (compare Gundry 1982:491-92; Katterjohn and Fackler 1976:118-19), any more than such ideas were incompatible in various ancient Jewish end-time views (see, for example, Bonsirven 1964:53). The early Christians often reused Jesus' image of a householder unprepared for a nocturnal thief (compare Joel 2:9) for Jesus' return at the end (1 Thess 5:2, 4; 2 Pet 3:10; Rev 3:3; 16:15).

Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver, three time Super Bowl Champion and current NFL Network analyst Michael Irvin had his share of problems and criticism for some of his actions as he was becoming a man during his college days at the University of Miami and early in his career in Dallas, but there is no doubt those experiences gave him insights that are invaluable in helping fathers all across the United States connect with their children and help raise them to be productive during their lives.
Despite his busy schedule, Michael speaks all across the country about how important it is for fathers to make time to be there for their children. He finds a way to be in attendance at almost all of his son's football games. His son, Michael Irvin plays wide receiver for Prestonwood, a private school in Plano, Texas in the Dallas metroplex.
My high school alma mater, Gilmer High School played Prestonwood in Gilmer this past season in non-district action. Michael was there for his son in our small town of 5,000 and had his camcorder and a tripod and shot video of the game. Shortly after the game, he was back on a plane headed for his next NFL Network assignment.
We had a chance to visit with Michael on Monday afternoon during Media Day festivities for the Super Bowl and asked him how he managed to juggle everything and watch his son play during high school football season.
"I am trying to be the father that God has called me to be, and my job as a father is to prepare him for his journey ahead, and I understand as a man what that journey is. God has laid fatherlessness on my heart. Look at the numbers when we look at fatherlessness. When we start talking about my son, I just want to be on my post. I travel and speak all off-season about this. 85% of all runaways and homeless are from fatherless homes, and a lot of the incarcerated are from fatherless homes, so I understand the importance of having a father there. You know, my father, I lost him at an early age, so I want to be there, but I want to encourage all fathers to be on their post because it is important for all fathers to be on their post."
"You know, it is a difficult thing when you're trying to balance things and also being there for the family. One of the things I always talk about when I am traveling is one of things we need to be conscious of and cautious with is that we don't allow our old wounds to create new wounds in our kids. Let me explain what I am talking about. One day my kid said to me, 'Dad, are you going to ever watch me play a game?' I said son, you've got to understand why I stay so busy working. I said I don't want you to grow up like I did. I grew up without anything. He said, 'Okay, I hear you, but I'm looking around at this mansion we live in, so what are you talking about?' So you see, it was my pain of not having anything that turned me into a workaholic and I'm about to put a different pain on him because he's going to say 'My dad wasn't there.' I thank God from his lips to my ears, so I said let me turn this thing around and make sure that I am giving him all the time he needs because it is a special thing. (There was) Something I read that I thought was beautiful and well said. It said you can give kids rules and restrictions, but without relationships, it is going to lead to rebellion. So, you have to have that relationship to make sure you set those guidelines and govern them with love so that the police won't govern them with law."
It is very obvious in talking with Michael that he learned a lot of valuable lessons from the "school of hard knocks", and everyone who hears him speak about the importance of being there for their kids during their formative years are given some wise advice from a good man who is doing what he believes God has called him to do. The world would definitely be a better place if we had more caring men like Michael Irvin who cared enough to try to help others.

Hot Tip Harry: Tips from Our Readers -- January 200612 Jan, 2006 By: Bill Kramer Cadalyst
Generate 3D text, create a yes/no dialog box, maintain text height and convert polylines and 3D solids into 3D face objects with these tips from Harry's readers.
The top tip of this month is 3DText (Tip #2081) from Aaron Werning. This fantastic tool adds depth to a text object so it shows up nicely in a 3D drawing. Instead of creating text objects 3DText generates a series of polylines in blocks that trace the text characters and have a z depth. To use this program, load the LSP file and type 3DTEXT at the AutoCAD Command prompt. Press Enter to start the creation of a new 3D text graphic or select an existing 3DText object for edit. You must use the 3DText command to edit the text in the 3D text graphics. Each text sequence is stored as a block and each character is drawn as a block behind the scenes. Documentation on special characters and other aspects of the utility are provided in the header of the LSP file. This version supports only one font type and creating a new font for it may be tedious work unless you write a LISP routine to create the data lists. Congratulations on being the January top tip, Aaron. Nice programming!
Spline to Polyline Conversion Redux (Tip #2082) is an improved version of Tip #2039 from June 2005, supplied by mysterious sources.
Nick Hofland supplied Yes/No Dialog Box (Tip #2083) for LISP programmers. The dialog box is defined by a simple DCL file that you must place in the AutoCAD search folder for this utility to operate correctly. Load the LSP file and use the function in your coding as (Yes-No "My question"). The function returns T if the answer is Yes, nil otherwise and sets the symbol NUMYN to either 0 for No or 1 for Yes. A handy utility to keep ready for when needed. After all, users love dialog boxes!
Jamie Spartz sent in two related functions. Convert Polylines to 3D Face Objects (Tip #2084) is used to prepare a drawing for 3D rendering. Load the LSP file into AutoCAD and type 3C at the Command prompt to activate the function. Select polylines that have three or four vertex points for conversion to 3D face objects. Convert 3D Solids to 3D Face Objects (Tip #2085) works along the same lines and for the same purposes converting 3D solid objects into faces. Jamie's main reason for creating these cool tips was to convert 3D drawing information into faces for editing. Thanks for sharing, Jamie!
Leonid Nemirovsky provided a nice utility for maintaining text heights in Text Selections (Tip #2086). Once the LSP file is loaded, type TXT at the Command prompt to display a dialog box holding three buttons. Pick one of the buttons for the style of text you want to create and then proceed directly into the Text command with all the parameters set. Saving button picks and menu hunts is important for productivity in the CAD/CAM workplace. Leonid provides us with yet another of his excellent tips.
Each month Harry looks for new tips and tricks that can help you, the AutoCAD user, do your job faster and better. This year Harry is starting something new -- a forum where you can request tips and get help from the tip authors and other Hot Tip Harry readers. Harry thanks you for your support over the last year during the transition to an online format and looks forward to hearing your comments and suggestions in the forum.

Tourism Holdings Acquisitions OKed by Board
October 22, 2012 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Tourism Holdings Acquisitions OKed by Board
A merger of three of New Zealand's five largest motorhome providers has been given the green light by Tourism Holdings Ltd.'s (THL) shareholders.
According to a report by the Fairfax New Zealand News, the listed company's board announced last month that it had offered $69.5 million to the owners of Kea Campers and United Rentals to acquire their companies. The deal was sealed with little fuss at a special shareholders' meeting in Auckland yesterday.
THL, a motorhome rental firm, reported 97% proxies had voted in favour of the merger, while a show of hands at the meeting was unanimous.
THL will pay $7.4m through the issue of 12 million THL shares at 62 cents per share, with $3.9 million worth being distributed to the owners of United, while $3.4 million worth will go to Kea's owners. A further $3.2 million will be paid in cash for the businesses, as well as the refinancing of $50.9 millon of debt in the companies.
A deferred payment of up to $8 million is contingent on meeting the expected sale price of motorhome vehicles.
The merger creates an entity with assets of $157 million, combined revenues of $95 million and a vehicle fleet of 2,500, though this will reduce to a total fleet size of 1,800 within two years.
THL said consumers would not see any immediate change to THL's suite of seven motorhome brands: Maui, Britz, Mighty, Kea, United, Alpha and Econo.
THL chief executive Grant Webster said visitor numbers from Europe and the United Kingdom were stagnant, which meant the New Zealand market was oversupplied with motorhomes. He estimated the number of motorhomes for rent had increased 5% in the past three years, despite average visitor numbers from Europe and Britain falling.
