Instructions for Using PDF Files
Using PDF forms requires the Adobe Acrobat Reader (8 or higher). If you don't have a copy of Acrobat reader, go to Adobe's web site and download the latest version. It's free and safe, and installation is simple.
When you click on the link to the application form, it will open either in your browser or in Acrobat Reader (we recommend the latter; check the Troubleshooting section of this page to learn more). You can then click on save icon (looks like a diskette) on the Acrobat Reader toolbar to save the Application form on your computer. You may then open the form, print it and fill it out by hand if you choose.
Note: As of September 1, 2015, the Chrome browser's built-in PDF viewer no longer supports Adobe PDF documents. We suggest either using a different browser, or disabling the Chrome PDF viewer using these instructions >>
Completing the form on your computer
- Fill out the form, using the mouse or tab key to move between fields
- Choose File and Print, or click on the Printer icon on the Acrobat Reader toolbar
- In the Print dialog box, make sure that the Print as image, Shrink oversized pages to paper size and expand small pages to paper size options are checked, choose the printer you want to print to, then click OK; the form will print out on your printer
Instructions for Completing the Application Forms
- Move in the document by clicking the mouse in an open blank (for vertical and horizontal movement) or by using the enter, or tab keys.
- Limit your response to each item to the space provided.
We suggest that you experiment with the forms in advance of the application deadline. Because this is a form, it does not have all of the features of word-processing (e.g., you cannot format your text with bold or italics, and you cannot use the spelling check feature). Editing lengthy amounts of text can be cumbersome in this format. You may find it easier to compose and edit any large blocks of text first in a separate document, and then to use the copy and paste function on your computer to place the text into the form. NOTE: The application forms are protected documents. The fonts and fields are locked so that they cannot be changed.
Submitting the Application Form
The completed application form must be mailed to the South Carolina Arts Commission on printed pages as part of the application package.
Application forms may be completed on your computer, printed out, and mailed. To use the PDF forms, you first need to download and install the
FREE Adobe Acrobat Reader, available at http://get.adobe.com/reader/.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does PDF mean?
It stands for Portable Document Format. PDFs work on both Windows and Macs. PDFs are you used to deliver all kinds of forms on the web, include those IRS tax forms.
Can I save information on these forms?
Yes, the latest versions of the free Acrobat Reader will allow you to save the information you enter into the form.
If you are using an older version, you will not be able to save; we recommend updating to the latest Reader (free at http://get.adobe.com/reader/).
If you continue to use an older version and cannot save, you will need to print a copy for the S.C. Arts Commission and a copy for yourself. Tip: If you can't complete the entire form at one time, you can do a page at a time and print each page as you finish.
Each web browser (Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari, etc.) has a built-in PDF reader/viewer, which automatically opens any online PDF in the browser, instead of opening it with the free Acrobat Reader. There are numerous difficulties with these browser PDF viewers, and they change often.
We recommend always using Acrobat Reader to open PDF files. You can set your browser to do this automatically; visit the Adobe website's page on this topic to learn how. Many of the troubleshooting issues listed here can be resolved by opening the PDF in Reader instead of in your browser.
When I follow the link to the PDF file, all I get is a blank page.
PDF files are large and take longer to load than a standard web page. Give it a little extra time. If you've waited and still have a blank screen, you may have a problem with your Acrobat Reader. Download and install the latest version (free at http://get.adobe.com/reader/). If you're still having problems, you may want to get rid of your current version, then download and install the new version.
When I download the forms I get boxes or an error message.
Sounds like you are using an earlier version of Acrobat Reader. Download and install the latest version (free at http://get.adobe.com/reader/). If you're still having problems, you may want to get rid of your earlier version, then download and install the new version.
I downloaded Acrobat Reader and I still can't open the form.
Did you install it? After you download Acrobat Reader, you need to follow the instructions on Adobe's site for installing
it on your computer.
Verify that you have a current version of Adobe Acrobat Reader:
- To determine the version of Adobe Acrobat, open Adobe from your desktop or start menu, click on help, and then About Acrobat Reader.
- If you have a version of Acrobat Reader less then 8.0, we recommend you update your reader to the latest version.
- Download the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader free from the Adobe website.
When I print the form it comes out blank.
In the print dialog box, make sure that the "Print as image" option is checked.
Something doesn't work.
There may be a compatibility issue between Adobe Reader and your browser. If so, try opening the form in Adobe Reader, instead of within your browser. There are several ways to do this:
- When you try to open the PDF form on our website, notice if you are given the option to view or open it with Adobe Reader; if so, choose that option.
- If you are not given that option, try saving the PDF to your computer. Then, open Adobe Reader on your computer, and try opening the saved copy of the form.
- You can change your browser default settings, so that any time you open a PDF, it will automatically open in Adobe Reader, instead of in your browser. The steps for changing that default setting vary by browser; visit the Adobe website for browser-specific instructions.
- If you are using Firefox, you may also need to go to your Tools menu, choose Options, then choose Applications. Look for "Adobe Acrobat" items in the Content Type column. In the Action column, for each item, choose "Use Adobe Acrobat."
Nothing works.
If you continue to have problems, we'll be glad to try emailing the PDF to you. We can also send you the form by fax or postal mail. (You'll need to find a typewriter as you won't be able to complete the application on your computer.) Please contact your coordinator for further assistance.
Save PDF To Your PC
You may save the form to your local computer. This can normally be accomplished as follows:
- Right click on the title link or go to your browser's File menu.
- Select "Save Target As" (Internet Explorer), "Save Link As" (Netscape), or "Save Page As" (Firefox) when presented with a menu. (If your mouse is configured for left handed operation use the left mouse button).
- Use Adobe Acrobat Reader to open the file directly after downloading.
The South Carolina Arts Commission is committed to providing information to all constituents. If you are having difficulty accessing material on this site due to a disability, please contact us at 803-734-8696 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Anabolic Steroids - A Brief History
The controversy that surrounds steroids and their use today is so blown out of proportion it could almost be laughable! The near hysterical rants of the press and political powers that be, show a blatantly uninformed and biased perspective.
Whilst it is agreed that the abuse of ANY drug is both stupid and ill-advised, what is really called for is more information. Information allows grown adults to make their own decisions. Information allows for the safe use of steroids, for used they will definitely be! Informed and safe use use of steroids would be so much easier if they were legalised and controlled. But that's another story!
To use steroids safely you need to understand a little bit about how they work and where they came from. I don't know about you, but I am kinda curious about what ends up inside my body!
Just to give you a bit of background, steroids were originally conceived back in 1929 when a procedure to produce an extract of potent activity (whatever that might be!) from bull's testicles was attempted, and in 1935 a more purified form of this extract was created. So no bullshit, just bull's balls; testosterone was born!
It All Started With Bull's Balls!
You gotta wonder in awe at the kind of guy who sits down and says "I know what we'll do tomorrow. We'll hack some bull's testicles off and we'll see what we can get out of them to help my friend with his bodybuilding!"
Initial uses were intended for hormone replacement and tissue regeneration in burn's victims and those suffering from wasting diseases.
In 1954 a doctor John Ziegler attending the World Weightlifting Championships in Austria, spent some time querying the Russian team doctor on how their team had managed to achieve such astonishing results.
His reply: "легко мой друг" (That's Russian for "Easy my friend! We use anabolic steroids!") Remember this was 1954 and they were not even known about, let alone banned!
So Dr Ziegler went back to work and in 1956 Methandrostenolone was created and was given the now familiar name of "Dianabol". Aha! So they've been around for over 50 years! Not some new untested untried fad!
Following years of some seriously big guys in sweaty gyms openly swallowing heaps of D-bol tabs Ziegler's weightlifters were performing way ahead of anyone else in the states and rapidly closing in on their Russian competitors. It was the early 1960s and D-bol had really arrived with a bang!
Recognition At Last For Dr John Ziegler
Worldwide Ban
By 1967 the International Olympic Committee had decided the bang was unfair and that enough was enough. They set about banning the performance enhancing drugs and by the mid 70's most major sporting bodies had followed suit.
Following closely on the worldwide banning of steroids they soon gained an underground following and became widely used, primarily in the world of bodybuilding and other strength and power based athletic pursuits.
No matter what the publicised risks to either one's health or one's liberty, the phenominal results obtained by using gear was proving way too alluring.
Ever since, the world of steroids has continued to evolve. The main focus of this evolution has been in the search for compounds that retain the anabolic properties but carry little to none of the side-effects that tend to be associated with the use of anabolic steroids.
Oh yes and they are always looking for compounds or techniques that make it even harder to detect their use by the worldwide international sporting bodies that don't want their athletes using them!
So that's enough for now about where they came from. Next we want to know what do they do and how do they do it, don't we?
Well guess what? You're just gonna have to wait until the next installment!

Dear Dr. Harbuck,
I pray this letter finds you well and blessed. It has been sometime since I have written and I wanted you to know that I remain greatly appreciative for the education I received from
God bless you and keep you,
Bro. Orlando
Pastor Jim Hatcher was a graduate of Evangel Christian. Also his son, who penned this, has done web work for Evangel in times past, a wonderful young man, husband and father himself. Thank you, Jimmy, for sharing!
Reflecting on my dad on his 69th Birthday:
It would be fantasy to say that he possessed any kind of magic—a shining, shimmering gift that mere mortals had not the power to wield. And, it would be naïve to assert that he achieved perfection at any point in his lifetime. But, my father was a rarity, and no one will ever convince me differently.
It has been over ten years since my dad passed from this life. Over those years, the memories I have of him have diminished in detail: facial expressions, the exact shape and texture of his hands, his distinct turns of phrase, the little minutiae that give definition to his living, breathing persona. Upon reflection, however, I don't mourn the loss of these sensory recollections nearly as much as I mourn the emotional security he bestowed on me. When he was here on this earth, I felt as though there were a protective covering swaddled around me. I had the sure knowledge that if I needed him, he would go to the wildest extreme to be there for me. That feeling was established in me by the gentle reinforcement and consistent support that he directed at me in the twenty-four years we had together.
When I was 11 or 12, I was involved in a scouting organization with my church, similar to the Boy Scouts. My father was one of the leaders of our "outpost," and when he learned that I was interested in competing for the district excellence-in-scouting competition, my dad did an amazing thing: he took a week off of work and he took me to a cabin, and we went through the scouting manual cover-to-cover. We learned about building fires and tying knots and what kinds of snakes were poisonous and how to navigate through the woods with a compass. It was an amazing week for a young boy. I competed in that competition and won, and when I attended the awards banquet and received the trophy, I was proud to bring it back to the table to share with my dad.
I remember another occasion in the eighth grade when I had told my dad that I was expecting to win an award at school. I came home from that awards ceremony empty-handed and disappointed. When my dad found out, he announced that we were going to dinner, and after the main course, he produced a trophy that he had bought that afternoon. It was inscribed, "To my son who makes me proud."
I think to sum up what my dad gave me was an identity. I was not a person that lived in his home. I was not someone conveniently placed in his familial order to complete chores and carry out his bidding. I was his precious son.
For the first few years after his passing, I wallowed in the pain that came with losing him and that feeling of covering. I ached inside. I railed at God for taking him and for leaving me to fend for myself without him. But, as time passed and my heart and emotions healed from being rent from my father, I realized that the degree of pain I experienced was testament to the incredible bond that we had built.
I consider myself extremely privileged to have been raised by such a man. He gave me his name. He taught me life lessons. He gave me security. He gave me confidence. He gave me an identity. He called me "Son," and I was proud to call him "Dad."
Evangel Christian University of America—Past, Present & Future…
by Dr. Dee Nance
For 40 years, Evangel Christian University has made global impact through our affiliations in South Korea, Fiji Islands, Nigeria, Liberia, Indonesia, SAF, Zambia, Kenya and Benin. In a time when schools are sterile and impersonal, Evangel remains one that operates with a "personal touch" in the lives of people all across the world, as well as on the home front in the US and Canada.
Whether you desire a degree or want to only take a few individual courses for personal knowledge and satisfaction, Evangel has something for everyone. We offer degrees in several fields—from the associate level to the doctorate through standard textbook programs. Or you may be a seasoned minister, possibly qualifying for our degree(s) by testing.
Evangel Christian's accreditation is through Transworld Accrediting Commission Int'l, with Dr. Stephen T. Anderson, at the helm. He purports that "our sound biblical approach continues to impact those in the educational realm and that internationally renown leaders have recognized that TAC has remained a trendsetter for over 25 years.

All You Need To Know About Hip Arthroscopy
One eventuality that many individuals do wish to face is the experience of a medical condition, any type of serious medical condition. Unfortunately, due to the majority of people experiencing poor lifestyles the chance of experiencing medical conditions is on the increase. One of the most common types of difficulties facing older individuals, and in some younger individuals, is that of arthritis which is a deterioration of the bone. There are various treatments nowadays that can be used to prevent severe arthritis or at least reduce the side effects cause by this condition. Hip arthroscopy is a procedure used to treat aspects of hip arthritis and this article will provide information regarding its risks and performance.
What Exactly Is Hip Arthroscopy?
Hip arthroscopy is a particular type of surgery conducted on an individual's hip area. During the surgery, the surgeon will make several small incisions around the hip and place a small camera inside the body to review the area. This type of surgery is completed for various reasons but is typically part of an initial assessment to determine the damage or disease inside a hip joint.
Why Is This Procedure Performed?
As is mentioned above, the arthroscopy surgery is often completed as a treatment for symptoms of mild to severe arthritis. Individuals with arthritis may experience difficulties such as small pieces of bone and/or cartilage becoming loose in the joints, which can cause a great deal of pain and potentially further damage. An arthroscopy surgery on a hip will be able to treat this condition by removing the pieces of the bone causing pain.
It should be noted that another common reason for an arthroscopic surgery is to treat any torn cartilage. This is often caused by excessive force being placed on the cartilage, such as an athlete engaging in high intensity physical activities. The hip arthroscopic surgery is able to repair the tear and hopefully restore the athlete's career.
What Risks Are Present?
As with all types of medical procedures, there are various risks to be experienced during and after the operation. During the surgery, an individual may be at risk of allergic reactions to the anesthesia being used. The symptoms of an allergic reaction can include breathing problems and inflammation. In addition, it is possible that the patient could suffer from severe bleeding and infection during surgery. It is essential that you inform the medical professionals of any allergies before surgery begins in order to avoid these risks.
It is important to note that there are various detrimental symptoms that can be experienced after surgery and you must be aware of these to prepare for the procedure. The most common post-procedure risk of hip arthroscopic surgery is bleeding in the hip joint and severe hip stiffness or hip pain. Damage to the ligaments can also be experienced; as well as injuries to blood vessels or nerves.
Final Words On The Matter
Surgery can be a terrifying option when facing medical conditions; however, it may be the most effective treatment and should be considered. Of course, it is important to be aware of the different details of the treatment beforehand and using the information in this article can help you prepare for a hip arthroscopic surgery.

Why this blog is called "Gallimaufry".
gal-uh-MAW-free\, noun.
Originally meaning "a hash of various kinds of meats," "gallimaufry" comes from French galimafrée; in Old French, from the word galer, "to rejoice, to make merry"; in old English: gala + mafrer: "to eat much," and from Medieval Dutch maffelen: "to open one's mouth wide."
It's also a dish made by hashing up odds and ends of food; a heterogeneous mixture; a hodge-podge; a ragout; a confused jumble; a ridiculous medley; a promiscuous (!) assemblage of persons.
Those of you who know me, will, I'm sure, understand how well some of these phrases (barring the "promiscuous" bit!) fit me.
More importantly, this blog is an ode to my love for Shimla. I hope to show you this little town through my eyes. If you don't see too many people in it, forgive me, because I'm a little chary of turning this into a human zoo.
Stop by for a spell, look at my pictures, ask me questions about Shimla, if you wish. I shall try and answer them as best as I can. Let's be friends for a while....
4 August 2006
Life is the only way
Life is the only way
to get covered in leaves,
catch your breath on the sand,
rise on wings;
to be a dog,
or stroke its warm fur;
to tell pain
from everything it's not;
to squeeze inside events,
dawdle in views,
to seek the least of all possible mistakes.
An extraordinary chance
to remember for a moment
a conversation held
with the lamp switched off;
and if only once
to stumble upon a stone,
end up soaked in one downpour or another,
mislay your keys in the grass;
and to follow a spark on the wind with your eyes;
and to keep on not knowing something important.

The first domino for the Galaxy fell the day after Edson Buddle signed with a German club when LA announced early this morning they had signed 26-year-old D.C. United reserve forward Adam Cristman, right, in exchange for the Galaxy's first round pick in the 2011 MLS Supplemental Draft.
Cristman has had three MLS clubs, including the New England Revolution and the late Kansas City Wizards, in four years and two serious injuries including a fractured metatarsal that required lengthy stays on the sideline.
The 2007 MLS Rookie of the Year finalist has scored 12 goals and six assists in 68 career regular season games; in 2008 he notched a career-best six goals in just 18 games when a toe injury limited his appearances.
The University of Virginia product had two goals in eight starts for D.C. United last year.
The three-round Supplemental Draft, reinstated by MLS this year, will be held a week from today, five days after the main MLS draft, also a three-round event this year, down from four.
Cristman doesn't sound like the starting forward (or two) the Galaxy require, but the team needs bodies in that position at the moment so it's a start.
The Galaxy's striking needs in the wake of Buddle's departure was the subject of today's column along with the usual Beckham speculation we've seen season after season and the departure of Galaxy icon Cobi Jones.
Some critics have suggested Buddle's MLS exit represents a black eye for league. I disagree and so did USMNT Coach Bob Bradley when I spoke to him Monday at camp in Carson:
"Players have to make decisions that fit what's good for them and in this particular case he's 30 years old (soon) and now the window for possibly going to Europe is small. And as much as MLS has shown that its paying some very, very big salaries, clubs still have to make decisions at a certain point of the season.
"MLS is continuing to play a major role in the development of soccer in this country and sometimes you're going to have different players at different times who think it's an option for them (to go to Europe). I don't think it's a knock on MLS at all.
Former U.S. international and Fox TV analyst Eric Wynalda agreed:
"Good business – don't condemn them," he said. "I'm really happy for (Buddle) to get the opportunity to go somewhere else.
"If Edson is comfortable and they really want him it's a good place to be," he added. "I would venture to say if he's a success he won't be there long.
"When these opportunities come for these players we need to recognize them for what they're worth … and not always feel like were losing something. Sometimes we're creating opportunity (for players)."
Galaxy defender A.J. DeLaGarza was surprised to hear Buddle had left Monday:
"It's crazy. I didn't even know his contract was up. I'm excited for him. I hope he can perform well.
"We're going to need some people to step up whether that's Landon playing forward — maybe even signing Angel or grabbing some people from the draft.
"Angel brings pressure. Like Edson he can hold the ball up top and he's one of those inside the 18 finishers — he can finish like no one else. So hopefully he could be a little bit of a replacement for Edson."
Hot Spur? The Galaxy's David Beckham trained with EPL club Tottenham Hotspur today for the first time. Incidentally the caption supplied with this picture observed that "Beckham, left, (is seen) in action with teammate Wilson Palacios … at the Spurs Lodge in Chigwell, England." Teammate? Hmm. (AP Photo).
In other trade news, midfielder Daniel Paladini of Northridge was signed today by the Chicago Fire along with Croatian Josip Mikulic.
The 26-year-old Paladini had been playing for the Division 2 Carolina Railhawks where he had seven goals and added five assists in 34 games and was named team MVP; Paladini was a 2006 MLS Supplemental Draft selection by the Galaxy and played for cross-town rival Chivas USA in 2008, seeing action in eight games, before joining the RailHawks.
Mikulic, a 24-year-old central defender, joins Chicago from Croatian side NK Zagreb.

MY husband loves maps. From his earliest childhood when his dartboard was a map of the world, he has been fascinated with those intricate lines and minuscule letters that make sense of the earth's surface. He loves the lore of the most exotic of the world's geography and can astound a tableful of Trivial Pursuit players with his answers to obscure questions.
But perhaps his most satisfying use of maps is to decipher the enlarged details of an area and find his way around an unknown place. He has navigated by car the congested narrow streets of downtown Cordoba in Spain and the dips and rises of the hollows in eastern Kentucky. He has found his way through the cities and villages of Israel and Italy, pedaled through the British Isles, and forded the wild rivers of Canada by canoe.
As I think of the journey to a new life that our family of six began four years ago, I sigh and wish there were a reassuring map of just where we were heading and the final destination.
When we set out from our familiar home, a farm in Kentucky, we thought the path ahead of us was short and full of certainty. Instead, the trail has demanded endurance and a will to keep on going, much like a hike we once took through the Daniel Boone National Forest in Central Kentucky.
It was late morning, and we'd planned a short hike before lunch to a natural rock bridge that the small map we had indicated would be clear and easy. Two hours later, as we scaled small hillsides and trudged single file through narrow pathways, we realized the map had omitted several crucial bits of trail. Each time we all stopped to rest and complain my husband would urge us on confidently: ``Keep on walking. It's not far.'' We made it back to our car three hours later, tired, hungry, and grateful.
The carefully charted path we had planned before leaving our farm included a one-year master's degree program in diplomacy and international development for my husband. This, we were sure, would guarantee employment in the field of third-world development where we would live a family Peace Corps style of work.
Eagerly, we awaited the day when we would set off to live a simpler, more useful kind of life. Even when friends joked about a life without microwaves and cable TV we laughed, heady with the anticipation of exactly that and of the new cultures we would find.
When the coveted master's degree did not produce a job, we realized just how competitive this field of international development really was and how many people were looking for the same path of service and simplicity.
It was inspiring to think so many other Americans wanted this way of life, even though this seemed to be a roadblock to our progress. It was time to chart a new trail.
Each of us must be the mapmakers of our lives. We travel down the comfortable or challenging routes our hopes and imaginations set for us. If we are neither lazy nor content to merely do the easy thing, we reach for a goal, a particular career or place to live or ideal to embody, and then we head with hope and some trepidation along our self-styled path.
We live in a country that offers us endless possibilities and places in which to embark upon our dreams.
Sometimes the unexpected dead end forces us to detour, and then we discover uncharted geography that makes for unplanned exploration. This travel amid the unknown is at times frightening or exhilarating, but always a chance to discover a brand new way of life.
When international development work became a dead end, we made the Foreign Service our new destination. With all tests passed and my husband's name on the hiring list, we waited for the day when he would be called to Washington DC and a subsequent posting abroad.
Our children were now primed for a life in some far-off continent, and we waited on pins and needles for the phone call, which never came. Once again, fierce competition had pushed my husband's name too far down the list, and he was never hired.
Four years later, still in the midst of traveling toward another rewarding goal, we have lived in three houses, in two states, in city, suburb, and village and find our map of life expanding as we dip down into deep valleys of disappointment and over the peaks of new experience.
As we watch our young daughters grow along the way, we wonder: Will this extended journey convey to them life's frustrating vagaries or will they come to know, with unshakable certainty, that all of life is a journey that unfolds, sometimes the way we plan and sometimes unexpectedly?
Our girls started out from a small Kentucky town where many people knew our name and where an exciting happening would be the birth of Gene's newest grandchild, announced from his diner's magnetic sign.
Since those nostalgic days, the girls have learned how to catch blue crabs by hand, to ride a metro, and to make homeless women smile at the downtown shelter we often visit. They have seen all the sights in Washington, ridden Percherons in the Lexington bluegrass, and sailed boats in Chesapeake Bay.
Throughout it all, the children have made new friends in new schools and found that once again they can belong. I hope these years of traveling toward our goal, toward a permanent, not rented home, may come to be part of a bright pattern in the mosaic of their lives.
During this, his last year of a doctoral program in political science, my husband will write his dissertation. With a competitive fellowship and highly praised comprehensive exams, he has been told his job prospects are good.
One year from now, according to our newest plan, he will be teaching in some university. We are not picky, just about any will do, although we have a list of favorites that we hold more like wistful possibilities and not as firm destinations. We have learned to be both resilient and highly flexible.
Underneath our bed is a stack of topographical survey maps that break western Kentucky into very detailed 5-by-8 mile chunks of land. Using these maps, we have driven down narrow two-lane rural roads where every dip and incline has been delineated along with each small graveyard, barn, and abandoned railroad line. We have known the satisfaction of taking a Sunday drive along these roads and anticipating each upcoming landmark.
And yet, when the time comes to look back upon our life and contemplate the twisting and turning paths, I have a feeling we will be grateful for the adventure of having created our own unpredictable, custom-made map as we went breathlessly along.
Each of us must be the mapmakers of our lives. We travel down the comfortable or challenging routes our imaginations set for us.

Despite opposition from competitors and watchdog groups because of the milling colossus it would create, the Justice Department last week signed off on the $4 billion flour milling merger of ConAgra (NYSE:CAG), Cargill, and CHS (NASDAQ:CHSCP). The new miller expects to be operational this week.
The merger was originally announced in March 2013 and was expected to have closed late last year, but ConAgra was forced to push back the completion date as antitrust regulators eyeballed the impact it would have on pricing. Horizon Milling, currently the largest flour miller, is a joint venture owned 76% by Cargill and 24% by CHS, and would join the 21 mills ConAgra operates. The rechristened Ardent Mills would have combined sales of $4.3 billion, operate 44 flour mills, three bakery mix plants, and a specialty bakery facility across the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico, and control.
To help grease the skids for approval, ConAgra agreed to sell to the U.S. subsidiary of Japan's Nisshin Flour Milling four of those mills for $215 million, a move that apparently worked as the regulatory agency finally stamped it with its imprimatur. Sort of.
In approving the transaction, the Justice Department also moved to block it, announcing it filed a civil antitrust lawsuit to force the grain processors to move forward with the sale of the four mills. It agreed with opponents who said the transaction as originally constructed would cause hard wheat flour prices to rise in northern and southern California, as well as in northern Texas and the upper Midwest, while also making soft wheat flour in southern California and northern Texas more expensive. If the mills are divested as proposed, then theoretically at least the merger would "create a substantial, independent and economically viable competitor" in California, Minnesota, and Texas.
The biggest loser will be grain processor Archer Daniels Midland (NYSE:ADM), which remains the second-largest miller in the country, but will now be dwarfed by the leader that will command more than a third of the market. Coupled with troubles ADM is facing in its core grain merchandising and handling operations due to severe winter weather and China's rejection of GMO-tainted corn, the grain processor will be hard-pressed to defend itself against this new, bigger rival.
The milling industry itself is consolidating down to a point that further mergers will likely become even rarer. Once it completes its own acquisition of Cereal Food Processors that it announced in March, Milner Milling will be the third-biggest miller, though even more distantly behind its rivals. Miller Milling, which is buying the four orphan flour mills from ConAgra, will be fourth. With such concentration in the hands of so few companies, the likelihood any but the smallest would be able to arrange a deal is doubtful.
With regulatory opposition removed, however, it looks like this miller is about to grind down its rivals along with the wheat.

Unfortunate shadow? Merkel and Netanyahu
Photo: AFP
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said goodbye to honored guest German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Tuesday night, after a successful 24-hour visit by the bulk of the German government.
The two nations are soon marking 50 years of full diplomatic ties, but the two days of talks, ceremonies and photo ops have been overshadowed by an image that went viral just as Merkel took her leave.
A photo of the two heads of state shows Netanyahu pointing at something out of frame, but his finger casts an unfortunate shadow across the German leader's upper lip, evoking an image of a vile predecessor.
Two versions of the photograph have been enthusiastically reproduced in the international media, perhaps ensuring this historic meeting will be remembered for something entirely different altogether.

Hi all, Full Doppler Tracking has been discussed on the amsat-bb from time to time for many years. Since I have just implemented it here, I thought that I would try to tell, what my experience over the last couple of weeks, have been. First of all Full Doppler Tracking means to keep your frequency at the satellite constant. With two amateurs in different places the satellite is the only point, that is a common reference. That is both for the uplink and the downlink frequency. There is a very good article about this on amsat.org. http://www.amsat.org/amsat/features/one_true_rule.html by KB5MU It is a little bit outdated. Now we have PC programs and transceivers that allow us to use the knob on the transceiver like we normally do - and the PC takes care of the doppler correction. To start with I got SatPC32 up and running. Connected the homemade ICOM interface to the IC-910 - and made a lot of setting up of the program. You have to make adjustments to the "doppler file" to make it work with your own transceiver, but that is not too difficult. Once everything is set-up correctly I were ready to test it in real life. That was great - especially with another radio amateur with the same set-up in the other end. Even if the amateur in the other end does not use full doppler tracking it works very well. All you have to do is to follow her downlink frequency. Almost hands off - just talk on the SSB satellites FO-29 and VO-52 (HAMSAT). No - not always that easy - FO-29 and VO-52 are not completely stable in frequency according to my findings. I think it has to do with the temperature in the satellites. Therefor you sometimes have to make fine adjustments to your uplink frequency. That can be done by the + and - keys if you use SatPC32. On the FM satellites it is no problem once you have adjusted the doppler file to your own transceiver. I feel like a very well known radio amateur who demonstrated Forward Error Correction on AO-40 at the AMSAT-UK Colloquium - his comment was: "Why did we not do this several years ago" SatPC32 is made by DK1TB, Erich, and all the monies for registration goes to AMSAT. Lots of other programs can do the same. InstantTrak, Hallosat are just two examples. A friend, OZ9VQ, made the interface with a MAX232. Low cost compared to ICOMs solution. Happy New Year from Copenhagen. 73 OZ1MY Ib ---- Sent via email@example.com. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT member? Join now to support the amateur satellite program!

<< -- 4 -- Ted and Emi Norrish DEVOTION AND HEROISM
The Bavarian State Opera is one of the great opera companies of the world,
and the Nationaltheater, where the majority of its performances take place,
is one of the world's finest opera houses.
The Nationaltheater was built between 1811 and 1818. It was destroyed
by fire in 1823, rebuilt in 1825, and destroyed again in 1943. Since the
early 1960s its splendid Neo-Classical Facade again looks proudly across
Max Joseph Platz. An inscription beneath the pediment reads 'Apollini Musisque
Redditum, MCMLXIII' -- 'Restored to Apollo and the Muses, 1963'. Within the
auditorium, as you look up at the tiers rising row upon row towards the
ceiling above the great chandelier, the effect is awe-inspiring.

In the current season, from mid-September to July, the State Opera is
presenting forty-two different productions, including three new stagings,
followed by the July Opera festival, with fifteen productions, including
two new ones. The General Director since 1993 has been Sir Peter Jonas,
former general manager of English National Opera, and its Music Director
since 1998, Maestro Zubin Mehta. The State Opera has an efficiency, confidence
and a lack of self-doubt that must be the envy of many great companies world-wide.

This is XKD 604. It was the first of six long-nose Jaguar D-Types made for the factory team in 1956.
The car was state-of-the-art back in 1956 featuring fuel injection and a Dion rear end (a non-independent rear end set-up that allowed for less unsprung weight and more freedom to choose suspensions and alignment settings).
One thing this car lacks is prominence. After leaving the factory, it was passed to the Ecurie Ecosse team in Scotland where it was mostly stored. From then on, it was sold to various parties in the UK where it was restored before coming to the US.

A brand new gallery of the amazing looking driving simulator, Project C.A.R.S has been released.
It's a shame that it got delayed until next year. I was really looking forward to picking it up this year.
Oh well; better late than never! Can't wait to get some Wii U screens/footage. Using a game like this along with the Gamepad will be gold.
Looks gorgeous , this best looking racing game yet. I really hope it will drive as good as it looks :)

New Toyota Auris launched
Toyota Japan has launched the facelift of the compact hatchback named Toyota Auris. This small car is expected to bring about changes in the Japanese and European markets for which it has been specifically designed and to these markets it will be launched. Meanwhile, Toyota India could increase the price of it best selling Toyota Innova, Toyota Etios and Toyota Etios Liva by 1.5 percent starting next month. This is expected to be the result of the weakening rupee value that has increased the input cost of the Toyota cars and hence the car maker has to compensate it with the increase in price of cars.
The new car launch by Toyota Japan is seen as a major development and it is said that it will certainly bring about a change in the way people used to look at small cars specially in Europe if not in Japan. The Auris though has not been projected to be launched in India, but experts believe that the car could see Indian turf as well in the near future. In Japan, the car will be sold through the Netz dealer network. As per the information regarding the new Toyota hatchback, it is available in seven exciting colors and on the inside there will be two viz. black and greige. Giving a close look at the car gives an impression as if a stretched Etios Liva or a Toyota designed Hyundai i30 is standing in front.
As part of other features, the Auris has an all glass roof to make the interior fresh always with sunlight. The glass roof is panoramic as it stretches to the rear seats as well. Another feature of the interiors of this car is that the legroom at the rear has been increased by decreasing the width of the back rest of the rear seats. There are a lot of safety features that adorn the car and make it virtually indestructible and these include impact absorbing front area, airbags that are SRS type.

One advantage of selling a CBU car in Malaysia is that you can react to model offering changes very quickly. That is why Suzuki Malaysia Automobile Sdn Bhd is able to bring in the facelifted Suzuki Grand Vitara so quickly shortly after it was unveiled internationally in early October 2008.
There are very minor changes on the front end – so minor that at first glance you may think that it looks exactly the same. I had trouble spotting the difference, to be honest. The bumper design is almost the same except the foglamps have been moved further away from the center to help the Grand Vitara look wider. There is also a new design for the front grille. From the side view, you will now notice a new 17 inch wheel design.
On the interior, there is a new multi-information display integrated into the meter cluster. The climate control area also has been redesigned. The steering wheel audio switches are now illuminated. Finally, the seat upholstery now has a new design for the fabric.
The facelifted Vitara adds a 2.4 litre engine to the model line-up but in Malaysia we continue to get a 2.0 litre model producing 138hp at 5,900rpm and 183Nm of torque at 4,300rpm, mated to a 4-speed auto with ratios from 2.862 to 0.688. One technical change is the addition of disc brakes at the rear.
The Suzuki Grand Vitara minor facelift retails for RM117,125.90 OTR with insurance (RM113,900 without insurance).

All lanes reopened on Kansas Turnpike after accident one mile east of East Lawrence Interchange
All lanes have reopened on the Kansas Turnpike one mile east of the East Lawrence Interchange after an early-morning accident blocked traffic Friday morning, according to the Kansas Department of Transportation.
Kim Qualls, a spokeswoman for KDOT, said the last closed eastbound lane was reopened about 12:30 p.m. Friday.
Firefighters responded to the accident about 4:20 a.m. Friday, after a semitrailer crashed and rolled on its side near mile marker 205, according to Journal-World news partner Operation 100.
Emergency dispatch received reports that the semitrailer was in the median, on fire, and showed "major damage." The driver was out of the truck and told authorities the trailer tank was empty. He was transported by ambulance to Lawrence Memorial Hospital with serious injuries.
Firefighters from Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical, the Wakarusa Township fire department and the Reno Township fire department of Leavenworth County were among those responding to the accident.
For more than an hour, traffic was forced to exit the turnpike near the accident while emergency crews worked, until about 6 a.m., when one lane of eastbound traffic and one lane of westbound traffic were opened. A second westbound lane was opened later in the morning.
While authorities worked on the scene, they reported there was significant debris across the highway and a diesel fuel leak. A Kansas Turnpike Authority representative was requested to respond to the scene.
KTA officials said it was unclear how long the roadway would remain blocked.

The Fiat S.p.A. 2013 consolidated financial statements presented to you report a net profit of €1,951 million, of which €1,047 million is attributable to non-controlling interests. The financial statements were provided to us by the statutory deadline, together with the report on operations, and have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union, and Italian regulations issued pursuant to Article 9 of Legislative Decree 38/2005.
The audit conducted by Reconta Ernst & Young S.p.A., the independent auditors, led to their opinion that:
"the consolidated financial statements of the Fiat Group at December 31, 2013 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and with art. 9 of Legislative Decree n. 38/2005; accordingly, they present clearly and give a true and fair view of the financial position, the results of operations and the cash flows of the Fiat Group for the year then ended."
The audit report also stated that:
"In our opinion, the Report on Operations and the information presented in compliance with art. 123-bis of Legislative Decree n. 58/1998 paragraph 1, letters c), d), f), l), m) and paragraph 2, letter b) in the Annual Report on Corporate Governance, are consistent with the consolidated financial statements of the Fiat Group as of December 31, 2013."
In application of Article 41 (3) of Legislative Decree 127/1991, the Board of Statutory Auditors did not review that information or the consolidated financial statements, except as specified below.
Determination of the scope of consolidation, and the methods and procedures applied for consolidation of investees conform to the requirements of IFRS. The structure of the consolidated financial statements can therefore be considered technically correct and consistent overall with those standards.
The report on operations adequately represents the operating and financial performance of the Group for 2013, as well as events occurring subsequent to year end relevant to the consolidated group. Based on the examination conducted, we found the report to be consistent with the consolidated financial statements.

One of the things I love so much about Disney is that there's always something new to do, some area that can be explored just a little more. I like that you can go on a ride that you've been on a million times and notice a new detail or you find a new, quiet place to sit in a bustling park. Here are 10 hidden gems things I want to explore, find, or do during our next (yet to be scheduled!) trip:
- Meet the Mayor and pin trade with Scoop Sanderson (two of the Citizens of Main Street). Seriously, this has been on my to-do list forever, but I always miss them!
- Go to Jellyrolls to hear the dueling pianos.
- Find 10 Hidden Pascals in the Tangled rest area in the Magic Kingdom.
- Finally see the famous hidden Mickey plate arrangement in the ballroom scene in the Haunted Mansion. Somehow, I always miss it!
- Spend some time at the Animal Kingdom Lodge at night. I'd like take advantage of the night vision goggles (!!) to see the animals at night, or listen to an African story by the campfire. Obviously, we'll be forced to stuff ourselves at Boma first…
- Submit a joke to the Monster's Inc. Laugh Floor. I also want to be "That Guy," but I'm a girl so maybe I can't be? BUT, maybe The Dude can!
- Check out the Metrophone in Tomorrowland and listen to intergalactic conversations. I am nosy, after all.
- Meet DiVine in Animal Kingdom. I've heard rumors that there's a male version, too, but I'm not positive. Anyone know?
- Find and press the "Press for a Surprise" buttons in Epcot's Italy pavilion. I'm sorry in advance if I inadvertently squirt you with water!
- Spend time appreciating hidden or in-the-background atmospheric details. For example, I love hearing the music lessons on Main Street U.S.A., but have never heard the people talking/dishes clattering on the back patio of Tusker House. Epcot is also full of these little features (like the talking water fountains in Future World or the single cracked tile in each of Morocco's mosaics).
I can't wait to go back!

Beyond the Kitchen: Living Areas to Love
The ideal kitchen is much more than just a place to cook; it's where people really live day to day. That's why we incorporated places to eat, watch TV, do homework, catch up on household paperwork, and catch up with family in our Innovation Kitchen. And, like the kitchen itself, these adjoining spaces were designed to be equal parts pretty and practical. Here's a look at how we put the fun in functional.
The dining room connected to our Innovation Kitchen works extra hard, serving as a home office when it's not hosting a meal. But what really makes this spot special is how it veers from conventional dining room design. Instead of a long table and matching chairs, we chose a table that expands from a cozy 6 feet to more than 8 welcoming feet. Seating is a combo of vivid blue chairs and a built-in storage bench topped with a colorful cushion and pillows. Instead of a china hutch we used a tall cabinet in a lively green (SW 6432 Garden Spot from Sherwin-Williams) and filled it with books and accessories. Even the lighting offers a fresh take: Good-bye, formal chandelier; hello, playful pendant!
The dining room hutch is a storage workhorse without feeling like an office supply store. Decorative bins, boxes, and caddies get the credit by holding pens, pencils, pads of paper, and even an iPad. Pretty accessories make getting down to business a lot more fun.
In the nearby family room, the fireplace wall gets an unexpected treatment. Painted 1-foot-high stripes could be overpowering, but because they're neutral and limited to a small area, they pack just the right amount of punch. Notice the other twist? There's no mantel above the electric, wall-mount fireplace. Instead, two antique wooden beams are mounted to the adjacent wall. They're useful shelves, but they also team up with the TV to create one large decorative display.
Here's one of my favorite features: a large message board for back-door convenience. It's made from a piece of glass so you can write a note using a dry-erase marker and just wipe it off later. So practical! Painting the back of the glass (it's the same green as the dining room cabinet) and framing it to look like a window—well, that's what makes practical perfect.
Have a little fun with your next project!
The BHG Innovation Kitchen, created for the May 2014 issue, is filled with fresh ideas and cool products. Here, senior editor Kit Selzer highlights a few of our favorites.

All of our resorts have been specially chosen for their suitability to the weekend skier and snowboarder. They are located within 2 and half hours of Geneva airport (many are closer) and our ski chalets with in each resort are close to the ski slopes and resort centre.
Our resorts are also perfectly suited to beginner and intermediate skiers, whilst offering challenging skiing and snowboarding for more advanced snow users. Each resort has ski schools and we can offer a package of lessons and ski or board hire for your short break away at very competitive prices.
Size of the ski area is also an important consideration for the short break skier, as one tends to want to get the most out of their short break away, skiing as much mileage as one can in the short time that they have. Ski lift and slope quality is also a priority where the weekend skier will not want queue bottle necks or narrow pistes.
We ensure that all resorts offer good access to the mountain resort services, destination airport capabilities and airport transfer time.
