Peugeot 205 T16 up for auctionby Garage Mike August 7, 2015
Muscley all-wheel drive rockets already flood the hot-hatch market, but none will buy you the providence attached to this classic homologation special.
Planned to be sold during auction, RM Sotheby's London currently has itself a 1984 Peugeot 205 T16, one of 200 created to help the manufacturer thread WRC regulations in the early 1980s.
That means, much like any supercar of the era, its turbocharged 1.8-litre 16 valve four-cylinder engine was located transverse in the back where you might find seats or a boot in a regular hatch.
Producing 147kW in road trim – the WRC Group B competition 205s were wrung out to 373kW – the engine was mated to a viscous coupling all-wheel drive system that helped those four tyres hiding under its bulging sleeves claw at whatever surface it rolled over.
Its wheelbase was a wieldy 2481mm, and combined with the widened tracks the T16's bodywork took on a very different form to a road-going 205 GTi's. Besides its ludicrously wide stance, various openings gaped from the car's rear haunches, C-pillar, and bonnet to feed air to necessary radiators.
Also hiding underneath was a tubular 'structure' mated to its chassis that provided a sturdy framework for Peugeot to conjure its rally car from.
Inside, drilled pedals, bright harnesses, and a leather dash board now stand out from what's an aged cabin. Obviously, couture wasn't a priority for the original car, but that didn't stop someone adding a Nardi steering wheel and magnesium wheels along the way for this one.
This particular example is said to be the 152nd built by Heuliez, the French design company contracted by Peugeot to build the road specials, and to have served as a press car in Italy for the first period of its life. It's also just received new brakes, dampers, and a brake servo from Italian rally gurus R3.
If you're interested, this T16 will step up to the auction stage on September 7 with an undisclosed reserve price attached to it. However even if you front up with a lot of cash, we wouldn't expect much change from $350,000.

Fifty years. Ten presidents. Countless wars. A civil rights movement.
Folk singer Joan Baez has lived through a lot in her musical career, and from the start, she has been a bold, admirable participant.
In 1965, she linked arms with Martin Luther King Jr. A year later, she stood next to Cesar Chavez as he led the battle for migrant farmworkers. A decade after that, she fought for gay rights, partaking in commemorative marches for Harvey Milk. And in recent years, she has showed support for environmental causes, also championing President Barrack Obama.
The point is Baez is not another washed-up singer-songwriter living off her past; she is a hero whose song has consistently come from the heart. So in 2008, when the notable activist lets out a powerful, honest and simple chorus � �we�ll rise above� � it was hard not to be inspired or moved. And that�s because these words are coming from the mouth of one who has risen �above� her entire life.
Baez�s newest song collection, �Day After Tomorrow,� finds her playing a role she is quite familiar with � that of a masterful interpreter. Working with Steve Earle, who also contributes several songs, Baez has crafted a stirring album much in the tradition of her 1960s work.
With covers of fantastic songs by artists such as Elvis Costello and Tom Waits, �Day After Tomorrow� is a beautiful and honest, if a bit predictable, album. It�s a subtle work filled with fantastic, pure playing by a group of talented musicians.
Earle cleverly decides to play it safe, pairing Baez�s clean vocals with similarly well-crafted instrumentation. With this album, we�re reminded just how powerful a well-written song can be.
Eliza Gilkyson�s contributions, for instance � the soaring �Rose of Sharon� and the mournful �Requiem� � could easily be mistaken for folk standards. The sparse �Jericho Road,� penned by Earle, is another major highlight. Closing the album, it finds Baez singing in spiritual mode, backed by a simple combination of hand claps and backup vocals.
It�s hard � maybe even pointless � to try to separate Baez�s politics from Baez�s music, but in the case of this album, they shouldn�t turn off those who disagree with Baez�s political persuasions. �We can all learn,� she warbles, �to sing the songs the angels sing.�
Baez�s voice has not lost much since she first started 50 years ago, but what it has has lost in strength is now replaced with experience. That is, Baez�s vocals now ring with the sincerity of a wiser soul, which brings a new immediacy to her songs � the same sort of immediacy that enriched the Johnny Cash and Neil Diamond comeback albums.
Thing is, it�s not really fair to call �Day After Tomorrow� a comeback album. It�s just another powerful addition to the graceful discography of a still-relevant star.
When: 7 p.m., March 16
Where: Missouri Theatre Center for the Arts, 203 S. Ninth St. Presented by Thumper Entertainment
Tickets: $32, $37, $42

But instead of getting better things appear to be getting worse. I study at close quarters all of Education Secretary David Blunkett's initiatives (so I understand and sympathise with what teachers have to wade through) and a clear pattern emerges. That pattern is a command and control model in which instructions flow down from the Department for Education and Employment to local authorities and schools as if they were junior outposts of a colonial administration. That is no way to raise educational standards and enhance the professionalism of teachers.
Take the literacy hour for example. We do need to focus on raising literacy standards, and I do not doubt Mr Blunkett's personal belief in the importance of raising standards. But a lot of teachers have serious practical criticisms of the literacy hour. It is very prescriptive about the structure, but when it comes to practical implementation teachers are left scrabbling around for the right resources. Many have been working late into the night tracking down the best texts. I sometimes think the photocopier has become the hub of Mr Blunkett's model school.
Then there is the class-size pledge. We Conservatives were getting nowhere trying to argue that class sizes were not very significant. The fact is that most parents and teachers believe that size does matter. But I am seeing too many examples of the absurd consequences which follow from taking a desirable objective and turning it into a rigid ban on classes over 30. I have visited schools which have achieved high standards despite some classes exceeding 30, perhaps using the per capita funding to employ more classroom assistants. Now they are having to turn away children and, at the same time, sack assistants so that for much of the time the classes are taught in larger groups than before. This cannot make sense.
Perhaps the fundamental mistake is to have launched so many of these initiatives without thinking through the human resources policy needed to make them work. Responsible education policy-making involves working with what you have, rewarding success, helping where it is not working and yes, in the last resort, making it easier for people finding themselves in the wrong career to leave teaching.
We will scrutinise the Government's Green Paper on modernising the profession with great care but the fact is that it has got itself into a terrible muddle having only embarked on the exercise in response to the expectations generated by its summer spending announcement.
The School Standards and Framework Act is much more to do with frameworks than standards. Many secondary schools in particular were seizing the freedoms of grant-maintained status and are now having to divert their energies into fruitless changes in status as they come under local authority control. Local authorities themselves are having to recruit more staff (as the back pages of The TES show every week) simply to implement the plans they are having to write to satisfy the DFEE.
The trouble is that if you have so many initiatives and plans you end up having no priorities. As one headteacher confided to me recently, the only way she could focus on raising standards was by ignoring most of the letters arriving on her desk from the department each week.
What I find extraordinary is that in many ways this Government is repeating mistakes that we were, rightly or wrongly, accused of making. But perhaps I am in a better place to learn and reflect on what worked and what did not than Mr Blunkett.
We will certainly not be rushing into a host of detailed policy proposals of our own. Above all, we have to listen and learn. Only then can we turn to effective policy work. But already the outlines of our approach are becoming clear. We need less heavy-handed intervention. We need more freedom for our schools, especially when they can show that they are doing well. Above all teachers are entitled to expect a degree of self-restraint from ministers responsible for education - a ceaseless flow of initiatives and instructions from the centre does not help anyone.

When summer tire ⇔ studless tire is replaced
From Japan
On 2017-05-14 20:56:26
There used to have broken the bolt before replacing the summer tire ⇔ studless tire. It depends on feeling and stepping on a wrench with a foot. In discrepancy with this, I bought a torque wrench. I am happy that I could buy it because I became able to work with peace of mind. One thing that I want you to improve is that there are switching levers for "tightening" and "loosening" although it is a product that you can not use for loosening work. I think that there is no worry of erroneous use if it is made to specification which can only "tighten" from the beginning.

I am using it for tires of 1.5 t cars and light tigers, but three or more stud bolts have broken. Lock nut once was loose, but I tried while paying attention but I can not trust. I want you to do the inspection.

I am satisfied because the price is cheap. However, because we can not adjust the torque in the loosening direction (reverse screw), we bought it for Toyota passenger car in use at our company, so there is no problem with our company, but other automakers (conventional method, In the case of Mazda car etc. which is different from the reverse screw etc.) Please be careful because it can not tighten all the foils on the specification.

Although it arrived, I checked it immediately, but it is hard to see the scale as it is in the review of other people. We painted markings on the scale as black magic like the luxury goods such as KTC, and made it easy to see. Unlike luxury items such as KTC, the scale interval is different, it is hard to understand a bit when setting the scale halfway. Also, KTC etc. is 0.5 N · m increments, but here is 1 N · m increments. But since the price is totally different, I think that there is no choice in this neighborhood. After that, what is the actual accuracy? I am worried ...

Ginny and Max had a gorgeous day June 9th. With a smile on her face all day, Ginny decided to wear a removable off-the-shoulder top for her ceremony, and took it off for the couple's reception, revealing a stunning strapless sweetheart dress.
The theme and tones of the day were white, gold, silver, and a blush pink. Flowers were perfectly incorporated into this beautiful June summer wedding day!
The couple said their vows outside at the lovely William Paca House & Gardens. The party continued at the beautifully decorated Annapolis Waterfront Hotel. One of the highlights of this event was the custom bar and clear top tent that was brought in to make the patio into an elegant cocktail hour space! Props to Event Pro for the beautiful decor and Anna Schmidt for doing a fantastic job capturing this beautiful day and couple!

Iron Man Vol. 3 #75
Tony Stark demonstrates some of his "velvet glove" ideas for the military to the press, which has plenty of questions for the nominee. He steals the spotlight from Sonny Burch, who plots a two-pronged counterstrategy with his political cronies: fight the nomination, while rushing as many Stark systems into production as possible...
Jorge Lucas did a fine job this issue, which had a large number of scene shifts as we went to see what others had to think about Tony's surprise nomination. his lighting.
I don't doubt a few readers were anxious for Iron Man to begin hitting something by this issue, and we were happy to oblige with Tony's demonstration. It's logical and makes a point about his candidacy — just as Iron Man's second appearance, later this issue, makes a different kind of point.
That said, in large measure, this part of the story is about whether Tony Stark can solve a problem that in past "armor wars" would have been solved by Iron Man and brute force. The jury's still out, as of this issue, as to whether that's possible — but he's giving it a try.
That last splash page is one of my favorites. Tom Brevoort suggested the looming Iron Man in the background, one of those wonderful comics devices we're all familiar with. (If you're not, you were probably wondering why all the journalists weren't reporting on the giant red guy menacing Washington, behind them.)
And Christine Everhart, introduced in this issue, appears in the Iron Man movie, played by Leslie Bibb!
- This issue's title (which only appears on the recap page because I forgot to find a place for it in the opening sequence) is "Technology," which plays off both the weapons Tony's showing and reflects the many ways people hear about his ideas this issue - radio, TV, Internet. And yes, the first three titles give you Sonny Burch's job title — "Acquisition," "Logistics," and "Technology." (Burch himself delivers the overarching story title this issue, stating that the business and political enemies Tony's made in his lifetime were "the best defense against this nomination.")
- I'm not a big fan of the "leaping armor" — it's a bear to explain quickly - but it definitely helped out in the demonstration scene. We also didn't slow down for an explanation of how Tony Stark knew which of the people in the demonstration were armed, but you can read more about that little trick in Iron Man #80.
- Believe it or not, there really is a licensee making Iron Man plush toys, like the one seen in this story. My kid finds it really handy to hit me with.
- Dig the wall around Avengers Mansion. With The Avengers now a sovereign state in their title, it strikes me you've got a Vatican City/Rome thing going on now in the middle of Marvel Manhattan. I'm curious to know whether you have to exchange currencies when going from the front yard to the street...
- The Termite is a decent pick for one of the sillier Iron Man villains of all time, hence his use here. But then, I couldn't figure out a way to put the Black Lama in a jail on our Earth, and Editor Tom Brevoort assures me that Mister Doll, my first choice, suffers from an unfortunate case of death.
- The slogan behind Sonny Burch, "Security and Prosperity: Partners for America!" continues a bit I had Jorge incorporate into a scene in #74, as well. American politicians aren't happy unless they're standing in front of a static, simple restatement of their views - since they know they'll only have maybe ten seconds on camera on the evening news. (The Bush administration does lots of it, to various effect; recall the infamous "Mission Accomplished" banner on that aircraft carrier.) Watch some speeches sometime - some of the messages are pretty subtle, right from the school of subliminal advertising...
- Simon Gilbert was a nefarious member of Tony Stark's board of directors back in the early 1970s, in real time. Since then he's gotten much older and has lost most of his hair.
- Tony Stark's congressional collapse really happened way back in Tales of Suspense #84, and the dialogue is straight from there.
- There was some alternation in the way Tony's 1960s senatorial nemesis was named in the comics; Craig "Mr. Silver Age" Shutt assures me it was usually Harrington Byrd, while my reference had it as Harrison Byrd. Byrd's a popular name for Senators, given Robert Byrd, Harry Sr., and Harry Jr.
- Why's Tony Stark walking away from the Capitol? Because this particular set of Armed Services Committee hearings is being held at the Russell Senate Office Building, kind of catercornered across Constitution Avenue from the Capitol. Figure the avenue's behind all those cars somewhere.

Long white sandy beaches, moderate sized waves good for body surfing and pleasant fall weather. Add on lots of Bloodies, Mojito's and ice cold beer and you have the makings of a stress free week.
We started the vacation with a night of camping at Huntington Beach state park. The park was the former home of sculptor Anna Hyatt Huntington and her husband who donated the land to the state of South Carolina after their home was destroyed by a hurricane. On our final day before we drove home we stopped at Brookgreen Gardens, adjacent to Huntington Beach State Park to check out their famous sculpture gardens containing many of Anna Hyatt Huntington sculptures. It might be catnip for old people and tourists but it was plenty beautiful.
Before leaving we ran through Murrel's Inlet for some lunch on the water at Spud's Waterfront Dining where I got a lunch seafood platter consisting of some perfectly poached flounder and scallops.

The other day in yoga class I was trying to squinch myself into supta kurmasana* when my left shoulder made a crunching sound. I kept going, because a crunching sound, well, that's not so bad, is it? Naturally, this is not an event that you can expect to discuss rationally with non-yoga-doers, they tend to say things like HOLY MOTHER OF CHRIST OF COURSE YOUR SHOULDER MADE A CRUNCHING NOISE, WHO THE FUCK WOULD WANT TO FIT THEIR SHOULDERS UNDER THEIR KNEES ANYWAY? GOD, I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU ANYMORE, I WANT A DIVORCE. Honestly, though, if I had heard a huge popping sound accompanied by, say, flames shooting out of my armpit, I would have stopped, rolled up my mat with my feet, and driven (swerved, rather) to the nearest feng shui practitioner. But a crunch that only made my arm feel like a duck terrine-filled tube sock? I am made of sterner stuff. Stuff that's delicious when spread on a thinly sliced, toasted baguette.
*Sanskrit for "sleeping tortoise pose" -- I am always on the lookout for new napping challenges
P.S. I just have to add that if you Google "duck terrine" you get a page that espouses "Country Duck Terrines manufactured according to the greedy and artisanal tradition of our area Of Provence."

text: Last Saturday, I decided to head out early to get in a sunrise shoot at Hamahiga Island. I usually don't get too many keepers from these type of shoots because the exceptional lighting is so fleeting, you usually only get one look from one position before it is all gone. Fortunately the light had several different stages on this morning and I made a concerted effort to not stick to one area taking a lot of photos of the same thing. I changed lenses, moved locations and I was fortunate that good light stuck around for awhile. You can see the captions for some more about each of the following photos.

Picking a Key in Finance
7 Jun
In the next few decades, today's young adults will have to pay off our country's 9.5 trillion dollar debt. If this income is compensated via higher taxes, then it is very crucial that American citizens know now how to handle their personal cash. Finance as major is extremely useful due to the fact it educates students about methods to save far more funds and to invest in their future. Selecting Finance as a main in college is required to earn higher wages and to augment their financial savings.
Several average individuals right now have difficulties managing their mortgage alongside paying all of their utility bills. Some devote funds they do not have by employing credit cards which will, in return, decrease their credit score as well as place them in debt. To avoid the hassles of bankruptcy, residing check by check, and getting in debt, the finest decision for a main in college is Finance.
Mastering how to make decisions about what to buy and how significantly it will cost will save the average citizen a significant quantity of income in the extended run. Considering with the future in mind permits men and women to establish financial opportunities that will much better prepare them. When a loved ones is living on a single low revenue and has to a household of 4 or five, it is really critical that they know how to manage the tiny funds they earn. This could imply that they buy less expensive toilet paper, acquire clothing on sale, or even put a certain percentage of their income away into financial savings. Each and every particular person need to know exactly where their funds is at all instances, and to do this picking Finance as a major is critical.
Going to college is the norm for graduating students in today's planet. Those students have a decision to make that can influence their future completely. Your key will choose for you what profession you would like to go into, but picking a specific significant, finance, could be the most useful and crucial choice ever created throughout your college knowledge. Finance is employed in practically every single profession and employed on a day to day basis. Some students select a major that has no relevance to their future, while Finance is utilised everywhere. Deciding on Finance as a main will advantage your future entirely, but that selection is up to you.

Five undulating horizontal ribbons of weathered steel—in bright orange, deep red, and rust brown—wrap the Design Museum Holon, Israel's first museum of design. London-based Ron Arad Architects chose Cor-Ten steel for its integrity, as a material that is "not coated or masked," explains Asa Bruno, the firm's co-director.
The $17 million, 38,000-square-foot building is set on a gentle slope and is part of a large cultural complex in Holon, 4 miles south of Tel Aviv. After nearly four years of construction, the two-story building opens February 2. It will display Israeli and international creations, including fashion, furniture, technology, and architecture.
In the August 2019 issue, Architectural Record features building type studies on landscape and leisure.

Week in the Life 2017 | Friday
Finally sharing Friday of my Week in the Life album.
Repeated my Monday & Wednesday formula. I love how my opening page for each day worked out. I love the wood veneer and the list of facts below it.
Another day of 3x8 journaling. I don't know why the rainbow 3x4 card doesn't have anything on it. Maybe I should go back and add one of the chipboard squares from the kit that I've been hoarding.
At the bottom of each 3x8 journal page - on the back side - I added a little note of Gratitude and my favourite moment from the day. Still loving the day of the week over the photo.

Problem Statement
The Zoom Across functionality allows you to zoom quickly from the current record to a related record in a different window. The default Zoom Across functionality allows you to zoom from one record to a destination record only if the destination table references the source table. For example, if you are looking at an order, you can zoom across to the associated invoice, shipping docs and payments.
As part of this blog we will provide step by step explanation of how to extend advanced zoom across functionality at Tab level in ADempiere.
ADempiere 360 or higher
- Basic understanding of ADempiere zoom across funtionality
- Understanding of table structure of ADempiere
- Working knowledge of SQL
- Knowledge of content on the link http://www.adempiere.com/Extending_Zoom_Across
Let us take example to connect the Invoice (Vendor) Window and Material Receipt Window through the Zoom Across functionality i.e. from Invoice Vendor, user should be able to zoom to all the material receipts of corresponding invoice
- Login as System with Role System Administrator (or a login and role with similar priviledges).
- Open the Reference Window. (Click on Reference in the menu bar or navigate to Application Dictionary >> Reference.)
- In the Reference Tab, create a new Reference. This defines zoom from material receipt to invoice
- Name: RelType M_InOut_ID->C_Invoice
- Description: Finds C_Invoice_IDs for a given M_InOut_ID
- Help: We are in M_InOut and want to find all Invoices
- Validation: Table Validation
- Open Table Validation Tab and configure logic to to get correct Invoice for a given material receipt
- Table: C_Invoice //This is the target table we will be trying to Zoom Across too.
- Column: C_Invoice_ID
- Column shown: DocumentNo
- SQL: C_Invoice_ID IN ( select i.C_Invoice _ID from C_Invoice i join C_InvoiceLine ivl on i.C_Invoice_ID = ivl.C_Invoice_ID join M_MatchInv mi on ivl.C_InvoiceLine_id = mi.C_InvoiceLine_ID join M_InOutLine iol on mi.M_InOutLine_ID = iol.M_InOutLine_ID join M_InOut io on iol.M_InOut_ID = io.M_InOut_ID where io.M_InOut_ID=@M_InOut_ID@ )
- Window: Invoice (Vendor) // or the one on which the invoice is found
- Create a new Reference to define zoom from material invoice vendor to reciept
- Name: RelType C_Invoice_ID->M_InOut
- Description: Finds M_InOut_IDs for a given C_Invoice_ID
- Help: We are in M_Invoice and want to find all M_InOuts
- Validation: Table Validation
- Open Table Validation Tab and configure logic to to get the correct material receipt for the given invoice
- Table:M_InOut //the target
- Column: M_InOut_ID
- Column shown: DocumentNo
- SQL: //the target M_InOut_ID IN ( select io.M_InOut_id from M_ InOut io join M_InOutLine iol on io.M_InOut_id = iol.M_InOut_id join M_MatchInv mi on iol.M_InOutLine_id = mi.M_InOutLine_id join C_InvoiceLine ivl on mi.C_InvoiceLine_id = ivl.C_InvoiceLine_ID join C_ Invoice i on ivl.C_Invoice_ID = i.C_Invoice_ID where i.C_Invoice_ID=@C_Invoice_ID@ )
- Window: Material Receipt // or the one where the material receipt is found
- Login as Admin User. Open the Relation Type Window found at System Admin >> Relation Type. Create new entry:
- Open window Invoice (Vendor). Select an invoice you know has a Material Receipt. Press Zoom across icon or select Go?Zoom Across (where used). Among others, the corresponding Material Receipt will be shown.
- Clicking on it, a Material Receipt window will open with the material receipt related to the invoice.
As a part of this article we learned how to extend zoom across functionality for more documents

text: From September 2017, working parents of 3 and 4 year olds could be entitled to 30 hours of free education and childcare. This will be made up of 15 hours of free early education and a new offer of up to 15 hours of free childcare. To help plan for this and ensure there are enough places available, we would like parents / carers to tell us a little more about how, where and when they would like to use their additional 15 hours. We are keen to hear from working families who could be entitled to the additional free 15 hours of childcare in the next few years. Please complete the online survey available at Parent / carer survey

In this lesson we demonstrate some invaluable technique-building exercises to boost your picking prowess and fingering finesse. These exercises and single string guitar songs can be beneficial for players of any standard -just make sure that you start at a metronome speed which reflects your technical ability and expect to improve gradually. Your patience will be rewarded. If you've already listened to the ten audio examples, you'll have noticed that they all have something of a "Flight Of The Bumblebee" sound to them. (more…)
Country Boy Albert Lee gives us the full monty in this masterclass – the whole circus act, in fact… AIbert Lee and Hogan's Heroes (Gerry Hogan on pedal-steel guitar, Pete Baron on drums, Brian Hodgson on bass and Pete Wingfield on keyboards) recorded a special masterclass including a backing track. It took ages to figure out positions for certain licks (Albert shifts fretting hand position at a frightening rate, and even if you see him live it's still difficult to follow by eye) so figuring out how the sounds heard match up with where his hands are generally involves a reasonable amount of speculation. (more…)
There's a whole raft of techniques to master in this mammoth metal monster. Take your time and your patience will be rewarded. John's present band is a lot rockier then previous incarnations so, as the song's in D minor, we decided to use a drop D tuning to make it a little heavier and to give something to hit when between sections. The intro is pretty much the same as the original one, but don't worry about all the time signature changes. I didn't realise how awkward it is until I had to write it out, so you'll probably find it a lot easier to just listen to it a few times. From bar 15 there's a neat little pattern of ascending fifths. As there are some spaces in between I used the low D to accentuate the 'straight-eighths' feel. (more…)
In this current series of articles, such as Lydian Sharp Five Scale, Mixolydian Flat 6 we've seen how modes enable us to see the notes of a scale from different perspectives. As you can see, A Locrian nat 2 has the same notes as C melodic minor, but it's viewed as an A scale so, here, the notes of an Am7b5 arpeggio are considered to be the strongest (A, C, Eb and G). As the name of this scale suggests, there is only one note different from Locrian: a major scale mode (the seventh), which is used over half-diminished chords. (more…)
Well it's one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready now go cat go! With luck you've been busy working on Working it out. Rock n Roll rhythms lesson, because this time I'm going to show you a really cool solo you can play over the top of it. The solo contains lots of classic licks and phrases from that era and should provide you with enough of a springboard to develop some ideas of your own, as well. Before we make a start, though, try holding your pick as illustrated in the main picture above and use downstrokes for everything. (more…)
Hybrid picking is always great fun and often challenging. Let's think of the great Chet Atkins and do it some more… Making an entrance: the solo's entrance is surely reminiscent of Albert Lee, although Albert once told that Chet Atkins was certainly one of his early influences, especially concerning that kind of playing which involves hybrid picking and multiple string grabs or fingerpicking patterns. To play this effectively and efficiently, think forward or ahead (don't rush the timing at all, though); it's about setting up the correct fretting fingering fractionally in advance of when it's actually required – this is vital information, you know. (more…)

GUILDFORD is to be home to the second store of Ben Newick, who is hoping that his innovative approach to furniture design will help cement his new vision for the furniture market.
aving set up shop in Haslemere three years ago, the business has enjoyed instant success and there are already ambitious plans to expand further across the south. Based in Chapel Street, the shop is pitching somewhere between the mass market approach of Ikea and those offering a bespoke, high end service.
The aim is for Ben Newick Home Furniture to occupy a niche in the market with an emphasis on simple, affordable high quality products which have a timeless quality.
Newick, whose design expertise has seen collaborations with major high street companies including Laura Ashley, Sharps Bedroom and Hammonds has designed all 80 pieces himself and believes the unique selling point is the number of variations on each piece aimed at suiting almost any requirement
"With our bedside tables, we have five different types, one with a draw, one with a shelf, one with three draws for example and they are all priced differently," said Newick.
"The market we're going for is the mid price range on a par with Habitat or Heals.
"Often with furniture stores there isn't a huge amount of choice for the public.
"Retailers buy containers of four of five pieces from Poland or Vietnam, where they can throw cheap labour at it but the result is a lack of choice for the customer."
Newick uses a CNC machine (Computer Numerical Control to construct his furniture, a method now widely employed in the furniture industry, which he believes makes for a more accurate finish when producing the pieces. He employs two companies to make the products via this method.
Newick embodies a one-stop approach to his trade. As well as designing, he has plenty of sales experience in this field as well as carpentry skills – a combination which he believes gives him the edge.
"It can cost of hundreds of thousands of pounds for a company to employ a full time designer but because I do all this myself, it really keeps down the costs," said Newick.
"And I find that because I don't need a huge amount of stock on display, I can keep the shops quite small, so I don't have high overheads.
"When it comes to displaying furniture a lot of stores just stack the items up which really doesn't show things to their best advantage.
"I do miss actually making the furniture myself, but it comes down to time, before, I was working through the night to complete orders and it just becomes exhausting."
In contrast to much of the more stylised furniture products available on the market, Newick produces Shaker-inspired furniture with a timeless appeal which enables customers to return a few years later and still buy matching pieces.
"At the moment the home office and bedrooms are the biggest sellers and we are getting a lot of repeat orders.
"We did have a recent order to furnish a whole house, with our furniture going in the home office, living room, kitchen and master bedroom, so that it had a wonderful continuity.
"We also replaced damage parts which makes it perfect for hotels which see a lot of wear and tear, an area we are looking to get in to."
As well as the high level of interest in the local area, Newick recently had an order for furniture from Scotland from a customer who had come across the website and decided to make an order.
New store for designer getting back to basics
GUILDFORD is to be home to the second store of Ben Newick, who is hoping that his innovative approach to furniture design will help cement his new vision for the furniture market.

Hello! I'm Issaic Gates, and I'm extremely honored to serve as the new principal of San Marino High School. Since joining the high school team, I've been working to learn the community of San Marino, and I've spoken with students, parents, teachers, and community members. It is no surprise that each group proudly affirms the commonly known fact that SMHS has a world-class team of educators, counselors, and staff- the best in the business. It is also widely known that San Marino High School's identity is framed by a culture of excellence described in part as rigorous academic programming, high expectations, and superior student achievements in academics, arts, and athletics. College and university admission offices throughout California, across the United States, and around world regard San Marino High School graduates as highly prepared learners who will excel in challenging college-level courses.
As principal, it is my aim to develop relationships and provide leadership that will support and further SMHS's identity and traditions. I'm also committed to promoting a campus culture that encourages student connectedness and healthy and balanced learning. Our community, educational professionals, and students recognize that having strong academic skill sets is important. Equally important is developing students who are balanced and healthy learners, learners that believe and rely on their uniqueness and individuality as a tool, as an advantage, to look beyond traditional perspectives, rules, and patterns to create new ideas, new methods, new solutions, and other meaningful contributions to our local and progressive global community.
San Marino High School's identity is solid and respected. As we look forward, towards the next 10,000 tomorrows, building and shaping the future of San Marino High School will take our entire community. As principal, I will lean on the expertise and professionalism of our faculty and staff. I'll value the voice of our students, and I garner input and support from our community. Together we will determine how to best prepare our students to contribute immediately as perceptive leaders and collaborators in an ever-so-quickly evolving society.

Johnny Football™ – The beginning of the brand
By: Kerri Phillips
As the college football season comes closer to its end, all eyes are on the games of the most highly ranked teams. This past Saturday, the game of interest was between No. 1 Alabama and No. 15 Texas A&M.
Prior to the game, Alabama was favored to win the game by two touchdowns. However, SB Nation cautioned the Crimson Tide against underestimating the Aggies powerful offense – or else they might lose their coveted BCS ranking.
What happened during the game few fans can forget. All season long ESPN analysts have been mentioning Johnny Manziel, the red-shirt freshman quarterback for Texas A&M, yet most did not think much of him until last Saturday's defeat of Alabama.
Manziel and the Aggie offense spread the Alabama defense thin from beginning to end. In a hostile Tuscaloosa environment, Manziel did not crumble under the pressure and accounted for 345 yards both rushing and passing.
Now, Manziel is not only being talked about as a Heisman candidate – he is considered by some as the best quarterback in the nation and the front runner to take the trophy in New York.
Almost overnight Manziel has gone from not having his jersey sold in the Texas A&M bookstore to having the country embrace him as a superstar in the Southeastern Conference.
Manziel was given the nickname "Johnny Football" by Texas A&M students and fans before the start of the 2012 season. After last Saturday, Johnny Football is a household name in areas that live and breathe college football – which includes all of the Southern states.
Darren Rovell tweeted on Nov. 10 that both Texas A&M and the Manziel family are working to trademark the nickname "Johnny Football." Trademarking Manziel's nickname is a sign that his family and coaches see a prolific future for the young player.
While Johnny Football is still playing football for Texas A&M, neither Manziel nor the college can profit from the nickname. At this phase in the young quarterback's career, the trademark will only prevent other vendors from using the nickname for commerce.
Although Manziel and his family may not own the trademark for years, if ever, claiming "Johnny Football" as intellectual property could greatly benefit the young player in the future if his career continues on the path he has set in motion.
The practice of registering nicknames and catchphrases as trademarks among athletes is not uncommon. In 2010, the New York Times published an article about why various professional athletes trademark words as intellectual property and how it has benefited them.
High-profile athletes and coaches with registered trademarks include Pat Riley, Darrelle Revis and Terrell Owens. Many of these trademarks are central to the athlete's brand and successful marketing of that brand.
For the moment, Johnny Football's brand is weak – particularly since he is not allowed to speak to the media per the Texas A&M policy. Once he steps into the public spotlight and focuses his brand in the direction he wants, Johnny Football™ will be a force to be recognized in the sport marketing world.

After completing his Articles with BDO Spencer Steward in April 1997, Rob spent the next eight and half years in the UK and USA working on various assignments. Highlighting some of those roles abroad, included 2 years for BDO Seidman in Atlanta as an Audit Supervisor, a one year special project for the British Parliament, and a one year project for Sport England to set up a new payroll system. Rob performed various other roles as a project accountant, moving through several organisations improving systems and processes within Banking as well as Commerce and Industry. Rob also completed his mortgage and financial advisory exams in London and worked as a Wealth Manager during his last two years in London.
In 2005, Rob moved back to South Africa and took on a Project Accountant role at Stanlib. His career took a turn towards Recruitment and Resourcing when he was approached at the end of 2006 by an International Recruitment company to head up their Banking and Financial Services team in Johannesburg. Rob assisted to turn this business around and found that his passion for people and desire to make a difference to South Africa and its economy was of utmost importance and left to set up Redi Recruitment two years later. Redi Recruitment has grown exponentially and become one of the well known recruitment companies in SA.
Rob has contributed to articles in the Star Workplace as well as Homecoming Revolution, where his drive has been to bring the 'brain-drain' back to South Africa. Rob's global exposure from his time in the US and UK, as well as his networks within the senior levels of industry combined with Eric van Gils' reputation and qualities within resourcing aim to deliver a professional executive search and advisory service through Holbourne Advisory.

Beauty and love.
We aren't always meant to understand our own beauty.
Sometimes who we are is a gift to someone we won't ever understand.
Sometimes what we do ripples further than we will ever know.
Sometimes our presence can change a room or someone's day or someone's life without us ever knowing.
What's beautiful to me is the more you find the beauty within yourself, the more you fall in love with who you're destined to be, the less you see and the more the world is exposed to love in motion.
You're made with love by the Hands that creates sunsets and ice crystals, beauty and love is the essence of who you are.
It's ok if you don't understand why you are loved.
It's ok if you don't see the beauty others see.
Some of the most beautiful things in life are meant to be left as a mystery.
That is why love and faith and hope are the hardest things to define but the most potent things we ever experience.
Beauty is in embracing the authenticity and rareness you are.
Nothing and no one will ever be who you were created to be.

I think the first Syrian Bass music I've come across and it's pretty dope and covers genres such as Dubstep, Electro, Trip Hop, DnB and Electronica.
Kinda reminds me of a band called "Zohar" who were around in the early 2000's and who inlcuded a friend of mine on bass guitar.
The track "Tarab Dub" is the stand out for me.
"Hello Psychaleppo! is a project fusing Arab heritage music and electronic sounds.
Rare melodies of the bedouin "Mawwals" and choirs of old Tarab are carefully crafted with electronic solos and traditional "old school "arrangements giving this music a highly distinguishable and contemporary feel.
The young talent behind Hello Psychaleppo! is Samer Saem Eldahr A.K.A Zimo, a music producer from Aleppo."

The connective tissue integral to the fabric of the American system is disintegrating like wet Kleenex. As Yeats wrote: "Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world. The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity." …As relieved as I am in Trump's win for what it will mean for the SCOTUS and a host of other issues, I am also horrified to realize that both the emotional incontinence and hysteria that we see in the reaction by those who supported HRC to Trump's win, AND the impetus that led to Trump's election, come from the same mechanism: Americans driven by their feelings rather than thought, reason or adherence to principle. We are where we are because several generations of children have been taught that their feelings are the ultimate arbiter of truth and goodness. If we cannot change the American school system, if it continues to indoctrinate our youth in nihilism, cultural Marxism and moral narcissism, this election will prove to be a very short reprieve from our slouch toward Gomorrah.
—Don Mitchell
My friend Jack Niewold's ability to create the perfect word pictures while simultaneously illuminating their spiritual significance is an art and a blessing. He takes what's in my heart and pours it out with his silver pen. The following is from the afternoon of Veteran's Day.
The fallout over the election this week has been revelatory. The only response I can come up with is this: Now that the other side has shown what kind of people they are, thank God we have turned them out. I've never seen such a pitiful bunch of losers in my life, from campus crybullies to street thugs to authoritarian vulgarians like the owner of the food business Grubhub, who has asked for the resignations of any employees who voted for Trump.
We can now redefine some familiar words, like "diversity," "inclusion," and "marginalization."
Please "resign" from Grubhub if you are a customer, and don't go quietly.
The American Left has shown itself to be a low-life, vicious, despicable, self-absorbed, emotionally-puerile movement, a parasitic malignancy on the fragile body of civilization. The cities, media and cultural institutions that have spawned this disgraceful brood will be the first to taste its malevolent hatred, and that is all to the good. It's the rest of us, those of us who have had to tolerate this filthy bunch of cretins, who owe our country something better.
That's what I want to talk about right now.
We've turned a corner. None of us thought it would come this quickly and dramatically. It's time for offense rather than defense. It's time to proclaim the faith rather than defend the faith. It's time to enjoy our civilization and history rather than to shore them up against destruction.
The fight has been long and dirty, and though we didn't partake in the crimes and sleaze of our enemies, we have been spattered by their sputum and feculence. We are all coarser than just a year or two ago. Nor is the struggle for decency over. It will take a lifetime of vigilance to keep our nation free. This is no time to draw inward, except in one sense.
I am gripped with a sense of my own sinfulness and my own distance from my Lord and Redeemer. The exhaustion I feel amidst the euphoria is a spiritual exhaustion, warning me that now, more than any time in my life, my example, my martyria (witness), is fragmented and uncertain. Like the prodigal son, I have "come to myself" in the sense that I am undone and without excuse.
Great victories, it is said, are often followed by great sobrieties. Triumphant warriors in ages past have knelt before priests to receive absolution.
Sociologists say that such periods of personal distress and introspection, when experienced at a broad level, are one of the precursors to religious awakenings. Many of us have prayed for a Third Great Awakening for years. Perhaps this is the moment. Our society needs to be rebuilt, and only a people with vibrant reserves of religious commitment will be up to the task.
As when the Nordic barbarians swept over Europe in the Dark Ages, and it was the Christian missionaries such as St. Patrick, who followed and re-established a new world order, so it may be today that a great resurgence of evangelical faith will give birth to a new people who hold to what is good, true and beautiful.
In the end, we have won nothing if we do not take this moment, this "tide in the affairs of men," to prayerfully grasp one another's hands and work together for a generation of spiritual renewal. Yes, let's "Make America Great Again," but let's also Make Jesus Christ Lord, both of our own lives and for the life of our republic.

Free eye examinations for older people in Uganda
A new initiative to check older people for eye health problems has been launched with the help of the Ugandan government.
People aged over 65 living in trachoma endemic districts, can now have a free eye examination while collecting their pension. People in this age group have been identified as being most at risk of eye problems. If needed, after their examination they can be referred for surgery or given medication to treat conditions such as trachoma or cataracts.
The initiative, started at the end of May in Karamoja, is provided through The Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Trust's Trachoma Initiative and Sightsavers' Coordinated Approach to Community Health (CATCH) programme, funded by UK's Department for International Development (DFID). The initiative is working in collaboration with development partners and the Ugandan government's Expanding Social Protection (ESP) programme.
Dr Astrid Bonfield, Chief Executive of The Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Trust, said: "Thanks to the commitment and collaborative efforts of partners like the governments of Uganda and the UK, and for the innovation shown through programmes like CATCH, we can help enable anyone – young or old – to access quality eye care and ensure diseases like trachoma that cause unnecessary blindness become a thing of the past."
Over the last four years, the Trust's Trachoma Initiative has mobilised nearly 5,000 case finders to identify those in need of treatment, provided sight-saving surgery to nearly 27,000 people and trained 65 surgeons in Uganda.
Sightsavers Uganda Country Director Johnson Ngorok said: "This collaboration has provided a unique opportunity to reach the section of the Ugandan population most at risk of eye problems. With support from The Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Trust and UK aid, thousands of people have accessed surgery and had their lives changed."
The Ugandan government's ESP programme has been running since 2010 through the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development, with support from UK Aid and Irish Aid. Under the scheme, the government aims to reduce poverty-related ageing by providing a social pension, called the senior citizens grant, to people aged 65 and over (or 60 and over in the Karamoja region, Uganda's poorest area).
Head of the ESP programme Stephen Kasaija said: "We recognise that various forms of disability impede access to and full benefit from programmes such as the senior citizens grant. Our target population is highly vulnerable to the effects of disability. That is why the ESP programme is exploring partnerships and linking our beneficiaries to services that address disability challenges. In this way we not only improve their wellbeing and welfare, we also improve access and the impacts of our grants."

Sewage Discharge Into the Black River/
Many people were shocked to learn from television or Facebook that up to 1million gallons of partially treated sewage was released into the Black River by the Ludlow wastewater treatment facility (WWTF). beginning 11 am Friday (April 14) and lasting until about noon Saturday (April 15). The sewage was not fully disinfected before it was released and resulted in a river E.coli level of 770 bacteria colonies per 100 milliliters (mLs). The acceptable level of E.coli colonies in Vermont is 235 per 100 mLs. My NBC
Concern is being raised about the safety of the river, why it happened, why wasn't the town notified and what can be done to keep the community informed.
In preparing this article, Cavendish Connects has spoken to the Cavendish Town office, the Black River Action Team (BRAT) and the Agency of Natural Resources (ANR), Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC).
Reporting of Wastewater Discharge: The Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) requires that Wastewater Treatment Facilities (WWTF) provide a public alert as soon s possible, but no longer than one hour from discovery of an untreated discharge from the wastewater treatment facility. This time requirement is extended to no longer than four hours if the operator does not have telephone or Internet service at the location or they are working to control or stop the untreated discharge. Additional details regarding sewage overflows and incidents are required to be reported within 12 hours of discovery and are included at the DEC (Dept. of Environmental Conservation) website.
Operators are required to post temporary signs at public access areas for 1 mile downstream of sewage discharges and other unpermitted discharges identified by the Secretary that may pose a threat to human health or the environment. The signs must remain in place for 48 hours after the untreated or unpermitted discharge has stopped. More information about this process is available here.
Since the discharge started the day before, for a 24 hour period partially treated undisinfected effluent was discharged into the Black River somewhere between 500,000 to 1 million gallons, without notification.
Why this Discharge Occurred: The report states, Preliminary lab report of 770 colonies/ 100 mls e-coli believed to be caused by ineffective chlorination. This was most likely caused by nitrification in the secondary clarifiers, while we had the aeration/mixers shut off to hold suspended solids. High flow conditions threatened plant wash-out of solids.
According to Amy Polaczk of DEC, Wastewater treatment is a biological process. In the case of the Ludlow Plant, an oxidation ditch is used to break down organics followed by a secondary clarifier to settle suspended matter, prior to discharge the effluent is chlorinated to inactivate any pathogens that may be present and then dechlorinated as chlorine is toxic to aquatic life in the receiving stream. Because of the high flows through the plant due to rains and snow melt, the operators of the Ludlow WWTF were trying to avoid sending solids to the Black River and to do that they turned off the aeration and mixing. A major component of wastewater treatment is the conversion of ammonia to nitrogen gas. This conversion is a two-step process, first nitrification is the process where ammonia is converted to nitrate/nitrite and then denitrification where the nitrate/nitrite is converted to nitrogen gas. If this process begins but is not complete, nitrate and nitrite will react with chlorine and reduce the amount available to inactivate pathogens. This combination of events is what is believed to have caused high E.coli counts in the Ludlow effluent.
What About the E-coli Levels?: There are various types ofE.coli and not all of them make your sick. Nearly every mammal and bird carries it and there are many ways it can get into the river- bird droppings, agricultural run-off, diapers, feces from people or pets, storm water runoff, or even naturally occurring E. coli present in the soil. Just because there are 770 per mL of E. coli does not mean that there are 770 E.coli cells that can make you sick. If there were, the only way it can do so is through oral ingestion. For healthy humans, the infectious dose of E. coli (only the ones able to cause disease) needs to be in the range of 100-10,000 cells. Typically in order to acquire enough of the pathogenic bacteria you would have to swallow water.
The VT Health Department recommends that those using rivers, streams and ponds
• Heed posted advisories or closings
• Do not swallow the water or get it in your mouth
• Stay out of the water 48 hours after a significant rain event
• Shower after swimming; and wash hands before eating.
Learn more at Healthy Recreational Waters
Corrections: The correction action taken is listed as "aeration was resumed and chlorination system was inspected. Effective levels of disinfection are expected to return within 24 hrs., pending return of manageable flows."
Notifying Cavendish: To make sure that the community is informed in a timely manner of any discharge, multiple people in Cavendish will now be receiving the DEC Alerts. You can do this as well by signing up at their website. You can receive these by e-mail or text.
If a discharge should occur again, it will be posted immediately to Cavendish Connects blog, Facebook and to Update subscribers. BRAT is planning a new feature at their website entitled "Alerts," which will also be shared at their Facebook page.
Testing of the Black River: For those who swim and regular recreate in the Black River, BRAT will once again be testing the Black River in Cavendish. Thanks to underwriting by Okemo, Cavendish will have water tested at Greven Field and the Cavendish Gorge. In addition to these locations, they will also be testing weekly at Buttermilk Falls (Ludlow), North Branch at Little Ascutney Rd (near Downer's Four Corners), Downer's Covered Bridge on Upper Falls Rd in Perkinsville and Tolles Power Dam off Maple St in Weathersfield/Perkinsville. This information is posted on-line at the BRAT site and in the event of an unsafe reading, Cavendish Connects will post this information to their outlets. Thank you Kelly and BRAT for your continued dedication to our River and your help in keeping it a safe recreational area.
How to Protect the Black River: BRAT has a number of programs that support the Black River. Check their website for ways to be involved. BRAT will be at the Cavendish Town Wide Tag Sale July 29th on the Proctorsville Green. This is a good time to ask questions, raise concerns and learn how to become involved in protecting the health and safety of the River. There is a also a possibility that Kelly will be doing a regular show on LPC-TV about the Black River.
Stocking: For those interested in the trout stocking on the Black River, it will take place the weeks of May 1, 8, 15 and 22. A total of 2,000 two-year old trout (1,500 rainbow and 500 brown) will be released.

On July 31, 2017, the New Jersey Supreme Court in GMAC Mortgage, LLC v. TamiLynn Willoughby said that the Chancery and Appellate Courts incorrectly found that a settlement agreement between a homeowner and GMAC Mortgage, LLC was provisional and not enforceable, which ultimately led to her home being sold to GMAC at a sheriff's sale for $100.00. In a unanimous opinion, the Supreme Court reversed that result and enforced the agreement.
In this case, GMAC foreclosed on Ms. Willoughby's home after she defaulted on her mortgage loan. Prior to the sheriff's sale, the parties entered into mediation through New Jersey's Residential Mortgage Foreclosure Mediation Program, which was established in 2008 following the collapse of the housing market. The mediation process led to an agreement between GMAC and Ms. Willoughby that gave her a "path to save her home through a 'permanent modification' of the loan." The agreement set forth the required down payment and monthly payments, the unpaid principal balance, the amount in arrears, and the length and interest rate of the loan.
Ms. Willoughby complied with the terms of the agreement, making the down payment and each monthly installment for one year. Then, GMAC sent Ms. Willoughby a "wholly new modification agreement" that contained less favorable terms than the original agreement - GMAC shortened the maturity date and increased the monthly payments. Ms. Willoughby moved to enforce the agreement in the Chancery Division. The Chancery Division initially sent the parties back to mediation, and then denied Ms. Willoughby's motion to enforce the agreement, holding that it was a "provisional settlement." Ms. Willoughby appealed, but the Appellate Division upheld the Chancery Division's ruling. The Supreme Court then agreed to hear the case.
The Supreme Court determined that the language of the parties' agreement, the majority of which was handwritten by GMAC's attorney, "spoke of a 'permanent modification' that was final and binding." The agreement explicitly stated that "if Willoughby made 'all trial payments,' GMA would 'make modification permanent.'" Importantly, the Supreme Court noted that "[Ms.] Willoughby has endured years of litigation, ending with the loss of her home," and that she "was entitled to the benefit of the agreement for which she had bargained." The Supreme Court found that the Chancery Division should have granted Ms. Willoughby's motion to enforce the agreement, stating that the terms of the agreement indicate that "the parties intended a permanent loan modification." The Supreme Court reversed the rulings of the lower courts and remanded the case to the Chancery Division to "craft an appropriate remedy" given the sale of the Ms. Willoughby's home at a sheriff's sale.
The case is available at:

Net income fell from $460 million to $357 million or $0.28 a share missing analyst's forecasts
The earning consensus on Wall Street was for eBay to be down 20% and earnings to come in at $0.33 share. eBay CEO, John Donahoe blamed the stronger dollar and the challenging economy. PayPal and Skype did well.
Here is what eBay said about the Marketplaces division that includes US and overseas eBay sites and the classified advertising site Kijiji:
"The Marketplaces business unit, which consists of eBay, Shopping.com, StubHub, Kijiji and other ecommerce sites, recorded $1.22 billion in revenue, equating to an 18% year-over-year decline. The revenue drop was attributable to the impact of the strengthening dollar and the decline of the core business in difficult macroeconomic conditions. Approximately 54% of Marketplaces revenue came from markets outside of the U.S. GMV (excluding vehicles) was $10.80 billion for the quarter, a decrease of 16%, compared to the first quarter of 2008. Online classifieds revenue increased 23% year-over-year. eBay Marketplaces continues to focus on stabilizing its core business by improving trust, value and selection for customers while looking for ways to drive growth through geographic, format and category expansion."
The business forecast is not too rosy either as eBay sees further declines in the coming quarter:
"Second quarter 2009 — eBay expects net revenues in the range of $1.850 to $2.050 billion with GAAP earnings per diluted share in the range of $0.23 to $0.26 and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share in the range of $0.34 to $0.36"
Even with what I consider to be bad news, eBay stock is up almost 5% in after hours trading. i guess I know why I am not a Wall Street analyst.
I will be out of the office for the next few days with limited access to my computer, but stay tuned for a wrap up and analysis on the challenges eBay is facing.

Probably the most important ballot initiative passed by California voters in November of 2008, Prop 11, the redistricting proposition, is under attack yet again. This time opponents seek to overturn Prop 11 next year with ballot initiative of their own.
The successful Voters First Act (Prop 11) which removed the authority from California state politicians to write their own political districts, instead placing the responsibility with an independent citizen redistricting commission, could be overturned if the proposed ballot initiative is passed by voters in 2010.
A UCLA professor and vocal opponent of the Prop 11, Daniel Lowenstein, filed an initiative Monday that would get rid of the citizens redistricting commission altogether. His ballot initiative seems to be aimed at the perceived costs of the citizen commission, the compensation of the commission members and the notion that the citizen members of the commission are not elected. That was the reason voters supported the initiative: Californians want to stop elected politicians from choosing who votes for them instead rightfully empowering voters to decide their elected officials for themselves.
Mr. Lowenstein's opposition to the 2008 initiative is well documented. In fact he was one of the co-authors for the ballot argument against the proposition—but he is not giving up the fight, even after the people have spoken.
Mr. Lowenstein seems to have an affinity for less-than-liberty friendly positions, like trying to overturn Prop 11. For example he served on the national board of Common Cause, a far left organization claiming to be non-partisan that advocates for government run health care (with a public option), so-called campaign finance reform and tax-payer financed political campaigns. He was appointed in 1974 by then-governor Jerry Brown as chairman of California's Fair Political Practices Commission, another oversized, inefficient, government bureaucracy.
Prop 11 is a historic ballot proposition taking away the power of elected politicians to map out their own political districts for their electoral advantage. A citizen's commission may not be perfect, but it is the best proposed solution to date for creating fair, constitutional and competitive political districts.
Mr. Lowenstein's desire to put the power back in the hands of Sacramento politicians demonstrates a childlike faith in government that would be endearing if it wasn't so dangerous.
