My next few posts will mainly be practical ideas of how I am simplifying my life. Often, when we hear about simplifying, we think of clearing out the clutter and all of the non-essentials in our homes and removing things from our jam-packed calendars. However, the basic premise of simplicity is organization and that is the direction from which I am coming.
Today's topic: Laundry.
The never-ending, time-consuming, oft-overwhelming monster in each mother's life. The laundry room is usually the off-limits room in an otherwise hospitable home. I have illogically tried to conquer the unconquerable in this never-ending battle. Unless we go back to the Garden of Eden, we will always have dirty clothes, towels and sheets. It's just a fact of life.
A few months ago, a friend told me about a new laundry system she was implementing with her family and, to be honest, I wasn't sold on it right away. She was having each of her children do their own laundry. I wasn't against the idea, but I was unwilling to try it as, by doing so, I was admitting defeat in the Laundry Wars.
However, after a couple of more months and continual piles of laundry I could not keep up with no matter how hard I tried, I was ready to surrender. So, one day in October, I went to Walmart, picked out 7 collapsible laundry sacks and distributed them out to each of my children with the instructions that, once their sack was full or near-full, they needed to get their clothes washed.
For those who did not already know how to run the washer and dryer, add soap, and dryer sheets, I taught them how. Then they all were on their way to independent laundry care and I was on my way to semi-freedom!
Here's a run-down of how this works and has benefitted our family:
1. For my six-year old who is too small to reach into my top-loading washing machine, I change his clothes from the washer to the dryer. I also fold and hang his outside clothes while he takes care of his underclothes, socks & pjs.
2. All the other children are to keep track of the washer, get their clothes switched to the dryer and out in a relatively decent period of time in order not to occupy the machines when someone else needs it.
3. The children are responsible for folding their laundry as soon as it comes out of the dryer.
4. The girls and my oldest son are responsible for their own ironing.
5. I don't care if they wash colors & whites together. In fact, I prefer them to in order to consolidate loads. Shocking, I know. We love to walk a bit on the wild side around here.
6. I don't have assigned days for my children to do their laundry. They do it as needed. If a couple of them need to do it at the same time, they work it out.
6. For the most part, I wash the towels and sheets they use, but that is it.
If my children don't have a certain item of clothing, I tell them they only have themselves to blame. This is teaching them to take responsibility for themselves and their things a bit more and also teaching them a bit of foresight.
I am amazed at how much stress this has relieved me from and how much more free-time I have to do things I truly enjoy each day. Clothes are clean, the laundry room isn't a disaster, and I am able to keep up with the relatively little laundry for which I am responsible. I am grateful to have friends from whom I can learn and who encourage me to try new things.
So, how about you? Are you willing to give this system a try? Maybe you have a system that works for you and you'd like to share. I would love to hear it!
Meanwhile, may the whirring of the washing machine and the rhythm of your dryer be music to your ears!

The RIC Blackhawks headed for the ice, primed for sled hockey battle.
Matt Amos hopped out of the locker room on his only leg and lowered himself into his sled. Chuck Wyder, who was already strapped into his sled, waited as three men headed over to pick him up and carry him to the ice.

The crowd had come, presumably, to hear songs like "Come a Long Way" and "On the Greener Side," which got airplay on MTV back in the day. ("Greener Side" was even up for a VMA against Madonna's "Vogue.")
Instead they were treated to a tirade that allegedly included Shocked announcing "God hates fags."
Matt Penfield, who was live-tweeting the show from onstage called her rant, delivered during her second set, "totally sincere [and] super anti-gay and hateful."
We're still trying to get the full text of her speech, but apparently she told fans "you can go on twitter and say Michelle Shocked said 'God hates fags.'"
Another Twitter user posted that Shocked "said she lives in fear that the world will be destroyed if gays are allowed to marry."
Shocked, who was raised in the Church of Latter-day Saints and later became a born-again Christian, has publicly embraced leftist causes over the years (including the Occupy movement), but has also been outspoken about her fundamentalism in recent years. In 2011, she appeared at a Christian-oriented music event, the Wild Goose Festival, where she described herself from the stage as "the world's greatest homophobe":
Folk singer Michelle Shocked, who has in recent years publicly rejected her lesbian fan base, became incensed when asked about her "position on homosexuality" by an audience member. "Who drafted me as a gay icon? You are looking at the world's greatest homophobe. Ask God what He thinks," she said, before shutting off her microphone to complain, "There is always someone who wants to catch me."
According to reports, much of the audience walked out on Shocked's show last night, bringing it to an abrupt end. Shocked herself took to Twitter to announce:
UPDATE: San Francisco Chronicle columnist Leah Garchik has more, reporting it was the club that shut down Shocked's performance as people left:
Something like two-thirds of the crowd walked out. Even more horrified than the audience were Yoshi's staffers. The manager, assistant club manager, and sound production engineer who were on duty shut down the show immediately, turning off the lights and cutting off the microphone, said Yoshi's representative Lisa Bautista. An apology was made to the audience and refunds were offered.
The Bay Area Reporter has more details:
"When they stop Prop 8 and force priests at gunpoint to marry gays, it will be the downfall of civilization and Jesus will come back," she said.
Loud gasps were heard from the audience. Many fans walked out.
"I believe the Bible is the word of God," Shocked continued. More audience gasps were heard. More fans exited and some shouted pro-gay sentiments including "Gays deserve to marry," "That is a rotten and horrible thing to say," "Jesus loves people," and "Don't bash people for who they are."
One woman shouted: "Don't say that shit in San Francisco."
Shocked replied, "Where do I go to say it?"

DARHT Second Axis Is Ready for Operation
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The ability to continue to assess and certify the aging U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile without underground nuclear testing took a major step forward today as a senior official announced that the Dual-Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test (DARHT) facility is now fully operational.
"DARHT is an incredible scientific and engineering achievement and is extremely important to certifying the nuclear weapons stockpile," said Robert Smolen, the National Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA) deputy administrator for defense programs. "U.S. nuclear weapons are 20 to 30 years old, and this high-tech machine allows us to look at how changes made to fix age-related and technical defects may affect weapon performance – all without conducting an underground nuclear test."
DARHT, located at NNSA's Los Alamos National Laboratory, produces four-frame x-ray movies of very rapid events, like explosions, which take place in millionths of a second. It produces x-ray (or radiographic) images from two perpendicular angles (making it "dual-axis" and allowing for a three dimensional picture) of a nuclear weapons component as it is subjected to the extreme pressures of an implosion in a hydrodynamic test. (Hydrotests are high-explosive-driven experiments that assess the performance and safety of nuclear weapons. Under these test conditions, the behavior of solid materials becomes similar to liquids, hence the term "hydrodynamic.")
Los Alamos National Laboratory teamed with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and private industry to make DARHT's second axis achieve this new capability.
The United States has not produced new nuclear weapons since 1991, and has not conducted an underground nuclear test since 1992 when President George H.W. Bush ordered a voluntary moratorium be put in place.
To ensure the nation's nuclear weapons remain safe, secure and reliable beyond their original design life of roughly 10-20 years, the stockpile stewardship program was implemented. As part of this program, DARHT's pictures allow NNSA scientists to thoroughly examine and predict how a particular weapon component from the current stockpile will react during a nuclear explosion.
"NNSA has been able to continually assure the reliability of the nuclear weapons stockpile without returning to underground nuclear testing," Smolen said. "As these weapons age, doing so becomes increasingly challenging. DARHT is an enormous help to our national security mission."
DARHT's second axis, or DARHT 2, underwent extensive reconstruction and testing, performed better than planned, and is now complete. It joins the first axis, known as DARHT 1, which is a single-pulse accelerator and has been making important contributions to the stockpile since 1999. The two axes combined now represent a world leading radiographic capability.
The complete system will now be put through a series of readiness tests, to ensure it can be operated safely, and the first combined hydrodynamic test is scheduled to be conducted this summer. The data from DARHT, when combined with data from both historical underground tests and present day hydrodynamic experiments at NNSA's Nevada Test Site and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, allow NNSA to maintain the safety and reliability of the stockpile.
Established by Congress in 2000, NNSA is a separately organized agency within the U.S. Department of Energy responsible for enhancing national security through the military application of nuclear science. NNSA maintains and enhances the safety, security, reliability and performance of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile without nuclear testing; works to reduce global danger from weapons of mass destruction; provides the U.S. Navy with safe and effective nuclear propulsion; and responds to nuclear and radiological emergencies in the United States and abroad.

Transmission problem
1990 Mercedes Benz 420sel Front Wheel Drive Automatic 115000 miles
The vehicle would not move in reverse when shifted to reverse. When cold, it hesitated moving forward until it warmed up then drove forward with no problems. Now it barely will go forward without a lot of hesitation. The trans fluid is okay and I don't see any leaks. Any idea how minor or major a repair I'm looking at?
have the same problem?

Rep. Jim Himes gets pleasant surprise upon landing Sunday night
Updated 4:25 pm, Monday, May 2, 2011
Jim Himes got off the Wall Street-bound 4 train knowing that something terrible had happened.
"I was on my way to work," Himes said by phone on Monday morning. "The subway stopped and it didn't go any further. People were running and screaming into the subway on to the 4 line. I'll never forget the moment. I looked up and saw that one of the World Trade Center towers was on fire. People were standing in the middle of Broadway. Seeing one of them on fire struck me as being very serious, but when I saw the second one was on fire, my heart just went cold."
That was when Himes, now the Democratic U.S. congressman representing Connecticut's fourth district, was an executive at Goldman Sachs, and long before his entry into politics.
Himes, a Greenwich resident, mourned along along with a community that lost 12 residents and 14 others with close ties to the town, and paid close attention as U.S. forces hunted for Osama bin Laden.
Then came Sunday night, when Himes felt a completely different emotion at the end of a trip.
The congressman had spent the weekend in Vancouver, where one of his cousins had gotten married. He had just completed a cross-continent flight to John F. Kennedy airport in New York when he looked at his Blackberry and saw a stunning message: U.S. forces had killed bin Laden, and President Obama was set to announce the news to a national TV audience.
"The victory against Osama, he said, "caps almost a decade of very seriously degrading his organization. I'm stunned by the ability of our military and intelligence officials."
Himes spent the morning in Greenwich and was planning on flying to Washington D.C. for a vote scheduled for early this evening. He said he expects the mood the Capitol to reflect the mood of people throughout the country, who have gathered at Ground Zero, in front of the White House and in other public places to sing, chant and celebrate the capture of the world's most wanted terrorist.
"The House is always just that, he said. "Representative. I'm guessing my colleagues are feeling the same feelings that you saw manifested last night."
Himes said he hoped that, like the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks, bin Laden's killing would help bridge the partisan divide in Washington.
"Nine-eleven and last night invite us to reflect on the many profound things we have in common as Americans," he said. "Just like an event like the shooting of Gabby Giffords reminds us that we have a fragile system. Yesterday's victory is a reminder that we can do pretty impressive things together."
One of Himes' colleagues in the Connecticut delegation, U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy (D-5), received the news just as he was returning from a trip to Afghanistan.
"Nothing can ever restore the moral order undone by Osama bin Laden's horrifying attack on the United States on September 11, 2001, but now Americans can sleep easier knowing that a man of true evil no longer walks this earth," Murphy said in a statement. "The killing of bin Laden does not erase the damage he did, but it brings us one giant step closer to justice."

This romance is all fun and games – filled with witty one-liners and deep kisses – until our happy couple finds themselves in trouble with the law. It's not exactly a surprise since both Eddie (Gable) and Ruby (Harlow) make their livings off the gullibility of others. He's your typical small time con man. She uses her charm and sex appeal to separate decent men from their hard-earned money. Unfortunately, their "harmless" grifting turns accidentally deadly, forcing Eddie into hiding and Ruby into a reformatory for "bad girls." Since they can't catch him, she ends up doing time. While someone has to show how crime doesn't pay, watching a sullen, dowdy Harlow is not exactly a barrel of laughs and quite an unwanted change of tone from the first 45 minutes of this picture. To make matters worse, she discovers she's in the family way via Eddie, which makes her situation (an unwed, criminal mother) even more damaging in the eyes of society.
In an effort to save the soul of our beloved harlot, a plot is set in motion by Ruby's reformatory roommates to reunite her with Eddie on the altar and make an honorable woman out of her. While their quickie wedding gives Eddie and Ruby the chance to show their everlasting devotion to each other, it's so overly melodramatic (the ceremony is almost broken up by the police) it's hard to keep a straight face. Gable and Harlow are an engaging and sexy onscreen couple a fact proven in their many onscreen pairings but even their obvious chemistry can't save the last act of this picture. Produced on the cusp of Production Code enforcement, it's clear that naughty, loose and criminal behavior would no longer be tolerated, no matter how attractive or handsome a couple happened to be. Wickedness must be punished and it goes without saying that the woman is the one who takes the brunt of the blame. Some things never change.
While Harlow was often typecast as a woman with dubious morals, she never appears crass or cheap. There's a sweetness, strength and intelligence about her, an air of dignity that overcomes whatever unfortunate circumstance she finds herself in. She's not embarrassed by her actions (sleeping around) or their results (an unwanted pregnancy), embracing life on her own terms, which is why she continues to be a major Hollywood presence. Ruby is just a regular girl, who made a few errors in judgment, but is still a worthwhile human being. There's depth to her bad girl and her performance, despite the ridiculous nature of the plot, is a wonderful showcase of the power in living life on one's own terms. What begins as a saucy, sexy romp ends on a pious, moralistic and unbelievable note; however, if you're a fan of either Gable or Harlow, you'll enjoy this film well enough. Even the rules and restrictions of decent society can't dampen their charisma.
"I got two rules when I go out visiting: keep away from couches and stay on your feet."

Probably the best hostel I've stayed in. Full stop. Jun 18, 2011
This hostel is located about 4 miles from Whistler Village but very well connected. It's one of the cleanest hostels I've stayed in. You have charming Australian and English staff that greet you, the Cheaky Cafe serves good food with veg variety. The kitchen is big, the dining room even bigger. The fridges are clean, you have nice "locker" type to store your food. The rooms are amazing. 2 rooms come with ensuite toilet and shower. All in all, probably the best hostel I've stayed in.
Oh, and the lounge area with the sofas, the TV lounge and pool table are amazing.

By now, news of Fedor Emelianenko's loss should have reached even natives of the Amazon rain forest.
Obviously, this is a community of people who care about that loss, be it sorrow at The Last Emperor's lackluster performance or joy that he, in all fairness, got his ass kicked.
Attachment 12043
Really? You wanted him to lose? Have you no soul?
A lot of the community has been very outspoken about the defeat, as well they should be. It's very difficult not to form an opinion on the matter. It was not what the community likes to describe as a 'close fight'. I digress, however. I'm not here to rag on Mr. Emelianenko's performance. He has done far more in combat sports then I could even do in my own dreams, and perhaps even the dreams of several close friends.
No, my problem is with the community, and how they have responded to, not only this loss, but any loss at all in the sport.
Attachment 12039
A loss, shown here.
It's extremely easy to see a loss as a sign of a trend. Two losses in a row isn't exactly a great sign. Add a few lackluster performances in beforehand and it's not hard to say that a fighter is done in the sport. Mixed martial arts is not exactly a sport that caters to older participants. The training is tough, the injuries plenty, and the time required to be an elite-level fighter is just about enough to make sure that ninety percent of your life is about being a fighter.
I think this community should know better then that. Sure, it's one thing if some asshole in an Affliction shirt thinks Fedor should hang it up because he lost two in a row. That's because he's an ill-informed idiot. This is a community of fighters, for fighters, about fighters, and anything in-between. A lot of us know the training, be we hobbyists, amateurs, or professionals.
Now, imagine training doesn't go your way for a few months. Maybe you're down. Maybe your focus isn't all there. The point of the matter is, we don't know all the factors that meet to hand a fighter a loss. There is no way to scientifically determine whether a fighter will win or lose beforehand. We cannot recreate fights to see if it was a fluke or well-earned win.
So why do we try? Why do we jump to condemn fighters after a loss? I understand it's easy to want to assume that trends are set in stone, that a few bad performances mark the end of a career. And sometimes they do.
All I'm saying is we owe the fighters a bit of objectivity. Sure, Fedor said he wanted to retire. Then he didn't. Then he was the victim of witch doctor voodoo. These are men, fickle just like all of us. We don't know all the factors. We can't read Fedor's mind.
Attachment 12040
I cannot read Fedor's mind, but I doubt this is what is happening inside of it.
We don't know if his loss was the result of a poor camp or of psychological warfare or of an unfortunate alignment of the planets.
We don't have Top Men who can sit down and examine Fedor and determine when his career is over, when his body has depleted it's store of Win and it is time to enjoy the quiet life he fought to give himself and his family. The closest we have to 'Top Men' are the early men in the sport, the vanguard of mixed martial arts, and, quite frankly, a lot of them don't even know when it's time for them to hang up the gloves.
Attachment 12038
Pictured: Top...Men?
All I want to do is sit down and talk about fights with you guys. I trust Fedor will know when he's done. Do you really think any of us can guess better then The Last Emperor himself when his time in the sport is done?
If you can, maybe you should be running a training camp somewhere.

I'm curious regarding some of the other comments about there being nicer places out there? Where in West Michigan is there someplace nicer? Sandy pines where you pay out the nose? Hidden ridge where you sit on a cement slab? Yankee springs which had the beaches shut down half the summer and are mosquito infested? By the middle of October, my family will have 60 says in out there for the year, and going someplace else would not be an option because that many days somewhere else would cost way too much. Personally, it's great for us.
#167 Sep 15, 2012
We went there and the salesman was very nice until he found out we didnt have a credit card or $200.00 in our pocket to hold a membership.
We also were told on the phone that NO decisions on membership were to be made that day we were to go home and think about it WRONG!High pressure ex-car salesman.I told him we pay in cash at tax time and he was very rude and said not to come back to the campground again and the package would only be good that day only and never again!
We were never even given a tour of the park.
What a scam stay away unless you can walk in the door with $4500.00
#168 Oct 9, 2012
I was just contacted the other day by a rep and I knew it was too good to be true after reading these comments. I don't want a membership but the prizes sounded great. I'm not going to waste an almost 3 hour drive after reading this information. Thank you for posting!

A woman just called me on my cell..I've seen the number come up before, but they never left a message. She claimed that I signed up for the raffle at our local fair (which was almost three months ago). I told her I did not sign up for anything. She tried to prove to me that I signed up by reading off of my "hand written" raffle entry. She rattled off my name and age...I told her that she probably got that off of the internet. I asked where their booth was located at our fair and she did not know. She was calling to tell me that she had drawn my name and although I did not win the truck or the 20,000 that I won a door prize. I told "no thanks" and hung up. Duh!
#170 Nov 10, 2012
He is not lieing I worked their as well and have posted my name mr. Current worker EVERYTHING he said is true and those pictures are definately from somewhere else! You need to get a real job the only thing I enjoyed about that job was had a few girls sleep with me in the woods while I was supposed to be doing maintaince work, loved it!!!!!!

We got a call saying that we had entered a drawing for the truck at our local fair. Spring Lake Resort called again a few days later to confirm our appointment regarding a drawing that we entered at the Hillsdale County Fair...a fair we have NEVER been to. Since SLR wasn't too far away, we kept our appt. They schedule appts all day long with couples. While we were there waiting to talk to a representative, there were 4 other couples waiting too. The watches are junk! The other prize we won was a vacation package, but you're only allowed to bring 2 kids along at a cost of $50 each per night. Travel, food and any extra's aren't included. You're required to take a tour of the "resorts" that you vacation at. These are not high class people at all! The place isn't that nice and you can tell that these people bring couples in all day long and try to get them to buy into this. Their rooms are set up for this scam. You begin in a reception area with refreshments (popcorn, fruit, cookies, coffee), a rep comes in, makes small talk, brings you outside and to another room filled with round tables with three chairs where you sit down and he asked you lots of questions about where you vacation, how often etc. When he figures out he's not going to get a dime of your money, you go to another room with the "prizes." The lock you get to try your "truck" key in has been used by thousand of people. Don't waste your time. If this resort can't get people to use it/buy via a good reputation/word of mouth, you know it's shady!

It's amazing that all of the.negative opinions get here but none if the positive. As I have stated in here before, as a member, we LOVE the park. Maybe it's not the fanciest place on the planet, but it's a great place to meet friends and a safe place for your children to be. It's not for everyone, but as someone who actually USES there membership, I know its a great deal for us. We use it at least 60 days a year. Plus we just upgraded to ROD, which means its going to save us even more money in the long run. It's amazing all of our friends love coming out, they camp with us, spend the day, and they love it. If you don't camp, then don't do it, but if you do, its a great deal! Can't find a better one! Not when state parks cost 35 night and fancier parks are closer to 60 & seasonally cost over 1000 a year!

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but had you experienced what the rest of us negative people had you too would be complaining. Kind of like, you don't know what it's like to walk in someone else's shoes until you actually do it. of course the bad things are shared as well as the good.

We are supposed to drive there tomorrow. It is a two hour drive and I dont know how they got my cell phone number. We already belong to a campground in Davison. Sounds like the same kind of sales pitch. I dont think we are going. Better things to do.

Since you like it so well do you know of anyone who wants to buy a membership? We don't camp anymore and want to sell.

Thanks so much to all the writers here. It saves me being bothered going there at all. I have not entered a contest in years but went to the RV Show in GR this year. I have had calls from SLR several times but no message so I figured it was a sales call. Today Jack Case left a message that my slip had been drawn to win the truck or $20,000 and that if I did not want it then to let him know. I returned the call and left a message. Now I am sorry I did that but at least I will not be driving to Kalamazoo for no reason.

Spring Lake is a great campground! me and my wife Lois joined a couple of years ago and we haven't had a bad experience yet! the staff there is very curious and helpful. and all of us members seem to have a great time every year... Very glad we became part of American campgrounds and Coast to Coast.

We sat down with the sales rep and he pulled out an RCI book and showed us where we could travel. Turns out $6990 later RCI has nothing to do with them. I have never heard back from them and I tried 8 times to call with no answer.
I'd love help on this.

This place is a JOKE!!
Everyone wins dollar store watches and a vacation package , that ends up costing more then its worth and you have to sit again and listen to another time share speech. I don't know how they get away with this for so long and not shut down!!
I asked the kid that did our tour if I could look in the garbage and see what all the other couples that had been there today had won, and of course he wouldn't let me, But im sure it was the same thing we got.. Crappy part is we drove 3 hours there and 3 hours back!! But I did stop at the new firekeepers casino and won 50.00 lol

Write to the Attorney generals office. You can also do it online I believe. We too were taken advantage of also. We waited too long to file the complaint. We started getting a bill for $75.00 a month for maintenance fees for the home campground. We were never told aboput this fee, we refused to pay it and they sent us to collections. I wrote the Attorney Generals office and they said "there is no such thing as paying maintenance fees on something you do not own or use." The AG office is very familiar with this place and what they do to innocent people. If this is so wonderful why does no one want to buy my membership for $1000.00? I posted on here to sell it but no one reacts to it. I hope this helps.
#182 May 23, 2013
Thanks for all the reviews, we were called this morning. They asked if we had an RV, I said no. They never mentioned that this was a campground! We will be canceling as soon as we get the packet in the mail with a contact number.
#183 May 29, 2013
My thanks to spring lake for contacting us but we put all our money into purchasing an RV and it will be the rural and scenic settings for us versus the resorts.
Thank You anyway,

Im not a camper and just entered a contest for a free IPod at a random show. Why not the drawing said "win a free Ipad" When i got a call i thought i actually won something. Then i got on here and it sounds like a gimmick. If you enter a drawing you should win what they say, not try to scam you!
#185 Jun 28, 2013
I entered the contest at the Women's Expo earlier this year and I too got a call in May. It was the usual "you won prizes, blah blah, take a tour, blah, No cost etc. Well, I figured something free is better than nothing at all, and I figured it'd be a nice drive. We got to the campground and met a very charming young salesman. He drove us around, told us about all the packages and options, which are actually a good deal IF you camp alot. I really like what they have to offer, but my husband and I recently bought our first home and both work full time +, so we dont have the time in our lives right now to travel enough to justify the purchase( But you bet as soon as life slows down a little we will be back) So we declined, and the salesman was polite and took us to try our key and what not. I was sure the chincy little key I had, would do nothing, so I was surprised when it opened the lock and I won an Ipad3, Awesome! Then we matched the number code and we also got A crystal tennis bracelet(cute) and a vacation package to anywhere in the U S. We have allready set up a trip to North Carolina in September, with the flight, hotel, and rental car included, my out of pocket was about 100 bucks for taxes and a deposit for the car. So yes, it is a sales gimmick, but all you have to say is no. I would do it again, and I would tell anyone else to go for it, who knows, if your an avid camper, you may fall in love!

Elizabeth (Fisher) Homer Nichols (1844 – 1929)
Elizabeth Homer Nichols was born to a prominent family in Roxbury, Massachusetts. At the age of twenty-five, she married Dr. Arthur Nichols who affectionately called her "Lizzie". Like many upper-class women of her day, Elizabeth was a social activist who worked with the Children's Aid Association and the Boston Female Asylum. An avid gardener, Elizabeth spent much of her time at the family's country home in Cornish, New Hampshire while still managing to run her Boston townhome from afar. While considered a traditional woman, Elizabeth was deeply involved in her family's finances and helped her husband by collecting rent from the boarding houses they owned throughout Boston.

ADR/GDR rights under RBI lens
Somasekhar Sundaresan in New Delhi | March 08, 2007
The Reserve Bank of India has fired the first salvo in regulating activity around voting rights related to global depository receipts and American depository receipts. In a circular issued recently, the RBI has directed all banks that have issued GDRs or ADRs to take prior consent of the RBI before amending any agreement between the banks and the depositories that issue such instruments.
Depository receipts are instruments issued by international depositories, and they represent an interest in the underlying shares held by them in the issuer company. The shares are usually held by a domestic custodian on behalf of the depositories and the depositories in turn issue the depository receipts, which entitle the holder of the receipts to get the underlying shares on demand. The depository receipts themselves, which represent an interest in the underlying securities, are in turn securities that are capable of being listed on international stock exchanges.
The RBI has always been sensitive to the voting power of any shareholder in a bank. The RBI has written a law that requires any voting power in excess of 5 per cent in a private bank aggregated across "associated enterprises" - a term defined in the tax laws governing transfer pricing, which encompasses all entities that are under common ownership, management or control - to get prior consent of the RBI.
The RBI seems to have studied the practices that have evolved in the market in relation to GDRs and ADRs. The RBI has noticed that in most cases, depository agreements executed between the issuer companies and the depository do not contain provisions that enable voting in any form by the holders of the depository receipts.
There are depository agreements that also provide for the depository voting in accordance with directions of the board of directors of the issuer company.
Curiously, the RBI has directed banks not to "give cognizance to voting by depositories in contravention of their agreements" with issuer banks. In other words, the RBI will be happy to see depositories vote in accordance with instructions of the banks, where the agreement provides for such voting instructions.
The RBI has called for a copy of every agreement between every bank that has raised funds through GDRs and ADRs and its depository. The RBI has also now imposed a requirement on banks to get prior approval from the RBI before they amend any provision of the depository agreement.
This is interesting because even the Securities and Exchange Board of India, which is concerned with voting rights in listed companies for purposes of the takeover regulations, has not gone into micro-regulation of voting rights.
Acquisitions of GDRs and ADRs are currently exempt from takeover regulations unless the holder of these instruments actually converts these instruments into the underlying shares carrying voting rights.
Of course, in the listing agreement, Sebi has insisted on excluding all the shares underlying GDRs and ADRs from the scope of "public shareholding" since in reality, these shares never get traded in India, and, therefore, ought not to count for measuring liquidity of the public float in the Indian market.
However, with the RBI throwing the spotlight on voting rights related to GDRs and ADRs, the doors of Indian regulatory oversight over depository receipts have been opened. Once one Indian regulator opens up an area of oversight, others follow suit.

Shelby Cobra CSX2023. Photos courtesy Auctions America.
When CSX2023, one of the first couple dozen Shelby Cobras, sold at auction for half a million dollars last year, many Cobra purists noted the slew of modifications it sported and wondered whether they hurt or helped the car's value. Their questions may soon be answered when the same Cobra, now re-restored back to its approximate original configuration, crosses the auction block next month.
As it sold at last year's Auctions America event in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, CSX2023 was painted red, had side exhausts, and rolled on fat tires wrapped around American Racing magnesium knock-off wheels under wide fender flares. Its original 260-cu.in. V-8 had been long ago swapped out for a 289, and despite (or maybe because of) all the modifications, it hammered at $485,000 and sold for a total of $533,500, including 10 percent commission.
Auctions America had little of the car's early history in its description of CSX2023, noting only that it originally sold out of Downtown Ford in Los Angeles in November 1962, and that a prior owner had restored the Cobra in the early 1980s. The World Registry of Cobras and GT40s doesn't have much more than that, noting that the prior owner, Ruben Garnica, bought it in 1971 missing its windshield, hood, and trunk lid, causing him to commission its restoration.
In the year since CSX2023 sold, its current owner has been busy with it, cutting off the wide flares, reverting it to a full dual exhaust system, and installing skinnier knockoff wire wheels and whitewall tires. Though the World Registry notes that the Cobra was originally painted white with a red interior, CSX2023 now has a fresh coat of Silver Moss paint with black leather interior. According to the auction description, a 289 still powers the Cobra.
Was it worth putting all that work into CSX2023? Auctions America seems to believe so, with a pre-auction estimate of $750,000 to $850,000.
The Cobra will cross the block at this year's Auctions America Fort Lauderdale sale, which is scheduled for March 14-16. For more information, visit AuctionsAmerica.com.
UPDATE (20.March): The re-restored Cobra sold for a price of $825,000, including the 10-percent buyer's fee.
Seems strange not to restore it to it's original color for a flip based on restoring originality. It looks like this one from Auctions America in 2009 is in this car's original colors:
I couldn't agree more. Does the "color" silver bring that much more of a premium in an auction than restoring it back to the original white would? To go to all that work and then not bring it totally back to original specs, at least color-wise, is beyond me. A correct-for-the-era 260 V8 would also be my choice if I were restoring that car. It sure is a beauty, though. I much prefer it compared to the fat-tired red car that it previously was shown as.
What happened to the original 260 engine ? I feel the car with numbers matching engine in it would bring up the value more, if that is not possible I think the 289 small block is fine as is.
The original engine argument is one that I stand by. Although, a person has to look no further than the years and years auction results, and folks hacking up original cars into pieces in the name of restomods, to show that a modified car can, and does, more often than not bring many times what an original, or restored-to-original-specs car will bring. If there is a business coupe of any make out there in original condition that hasn't been turned into someone's idea of a "cool" car or a rat rod, it's a rare thing of beauty, in my opinion. The 260 from this Cobra probably ended up in someone's boat or some crazy thing.
Just so you are aware there is no such thing as a numbers matching Cobra. The best you could ask for is a block with a date code before the car was sold. Cobras left with all kinds of engines Shelby had around. I agree with you in that if you are going to restore to original that should be correct displacement and date coded engine, original paint and Interior colors. This car now just represents a different owner desired modification. I don't see a value increase other then Cobras are more desirable every day.
Doubt that that 260 ended up in a boat. Why would anyone install a 260 when 289's and even 302's were everywhere and likely about the same cost? More likely that 260 ended up in a Falcon or Fairlane or even a dumpster or salvage yard!
I have always thought the 260 or even the 289 were much better suited to a car the size of the Cobra. The 427 was overkill IMO. I looked at replicas a few years ago and was surprised to find the dimensions of a 260/289 Cobra was almost exactly the same as a MGB. Of course when the big fender flares were added the width grew. It's just a perfectly sized car for a 260/289 V8…. I'm glad no one decided to stuff a 427 into it somewhere along the line…
My issue with the red version of the car is that it is trying to emulate a 427 big block car, which it isn't, and that makes it look like a fake. My understanding is that the earlier smaller engine cars were much better handling, so it would be my choice if I could afford one in the first place! At least its latest incarnation more accurately reflects its origins.
definitely strange.
if you are spending that much to return to historicity, why only go part way?
I think the owner and auction will be disappointed in the auction results. Cutting the fender flares and putting on skinnier tires is not bringing the car back to its original state. Another non original paint job/color change isn't doing that either. Leaving the 289 in and not replacing it for a period and build sheet correct 260 also does nothing for authenticity. I do like the white walls with the wires. That is certainly a 60's correct look.
Interestingly, the car still wears the wrong wheels. Early cars, those prior to fender side vents, came from Shelby with narrow wire wheels — similar to an Austin Healey — rather than the fatter wheels on the silver car. It will be interesting to see if it tops $1 million.
I have always preferred the earlier Cobras. Without all the flares, sidepipes and flash, they seem to be a more nimble looking car.
The only time I was ever tempted to get involved in a kit car what a couple of years ago when I saw a 289 Cobra kit shown at one of the Carlisle shows.
Would have certainly been something different.
Second paragraph, 15th word. Should be "was".
Graham, while correct punctuation and spelling is important in a doctoral thesis, or our childrens homework, most of us are willing to endure the odd type-o. Dont swet it.
Ha, nice I'm always paranoid about the non-edit function here, as well. But, in the grand skeme (taking your lead) of things, it really doesn't matter too much if we're all dotting our "i's" (shouldn't really be an apostrophe there) and crossing our "t's" (there, either).
Like you, I'm more interested in the huge brains of the average Hemmings reader and the vehicle knowledge that they put out there in some of the comments. It's the best class I've ever had.
Alan, it's "sweat"
You forgot to mention I left out the apostrophe in don't Badron.
I saw that kit car too. It was a refreshing change from the SC kit cars all over the place. really liked it!
I own two Shelby Cobra replicas a 1966 289 Slabside and a 1967 427 Sideoiler S/C. Both have original date-coded period-correct drivetrains — exactly the same in specs as the original Cobras. Both cars were built by John Paullus at John's Custom Fab in Oregon — the 1966 took one year and the 1967 took two years to complete. I get more looks driving the '66 289 because it is more rare in appearance.
is this car begging to have all this money lavished on it ?
I agree with the others. Why go through all that effort, and not return it to the original color, interior and put the 260 motor back into it. This one maybe a Munson.
Do you see the nice 1962 Shelby Cobra ad next column for $192,000? Cheers.
I saw that. But I think one of the first 25 260 cars to roll off the line, even with the new engine, is a significant difference. Even in the ultra rare world of Cobras.
Glad I'm not the only one looking at this as just another modification instead of a restoration. It was originally white, now it's silver, had red interior, now it's black, had a 260, now it's a 289. Even though it could be said that it lost its originality a long time ago, just based on the visual attraction of the two, if I walked up to a car show and saw these two cars sitting there, I would be immediately drawn to the red, flared version and not the silver. Unless the earlier modifications in red were poorly done, which it doesn't appear so from this picture, I would have left well enough alone.
I'd take the red version over the silver any day. You could alway restore to original condition later. But who would take the silver version and convert it to the red version today? Put different wheels on the red one and you would have a nice car.
The car hansome prior to the restoration . They should have left it the way it was . If they are looking to flip the vehicle for profit the market has gone up in the last year . The owner would have accomplished his goal anyway .
Yep, I saw that. It is apparently a 1996 re-issue of a 1962.
Well, in my opinion the "re-restoration" totally ruined the looks of this car and probably the performance of it too. But this day and age, performance for these doesn't matter at all because it is likely to go into some rich person's collection and will be a discussion piece. Sad…
Face it, folks; the Shelby Cobra was a mongrel from the get-go and getting anal about one that's been as screwed with as this one is rediculous. It wasn't a racer or owned by some famous personality, just a cruiser sold to some moneyed L.A. sport to rip around in. Let it be what it is, a car to be driven and enjoyed in the manner the owner wishes, not subject to the opinions and prejudices of self-appointed defenders of the Shelby Gospel.
I think the comments tend to agree with leaving it as it was, but since they went through the effort of making changes with the clear intent to make it look original (presumably for the purpose of resale given the short turnaround), the choices made in the restoration are unusual and don't seem like they will yield the highest value.
Modified fender flares are absolutely hideous on any steet car,with probaly one exception; the Shelby Cobra
I've always Preferred the simple look of the early cobras. Not bashing the big block side piped ones. It's that this model looks so clean and what Carol liked from the start.
And what has not been mentioned yet is that these cars were still blazingly fast and agile to the delight of the magazine writers of the day. I agree, they were sleek and fast.
I'm sure they'll get more for it but I hate the silver paint and those wheels and tires!
I think the it will be overpriced at the estimate given for the simple reason of it is still not what the car was originally. While it's admirable that it got re-restored to a very close version, it feels like this car falls short somehow…kind of like when a football team kicks a field goal after falling to get in the end zone at the one yard line.
If the owner would like to contact me, I have some period-correct 1962 LA air for filling the tires.
Smog-era LA? Careful, Norm, it'll probably rot 'em out!
Cute car, but I'll stay out of the resto fray seein' as how I couldn't afford the plug wires, let alone the whole enchilada.
The Moss Silver suits the restoration and it shows. I cannot understand, why they still, fascinate me, and put me in awe, and make me read or check the price and condition, everytime, one passes within eyesight. It does not matter if in print, or physically in my World. They have so much history, and made one man, what, from a farmer, to an Iconic racer and car builder!!
………makes one wonder why he bought the car in the first place………hesitate to call anyone in this guy's league "poor", but this poor guy got some pretty poor advice on this re-restoration (actually a re-modification)……..doubt this will be a profitable flipping lesson.
Personally I prefer the red version over the silver re-do. But if I was to go for the re-do I would have preferred the original white with red interior. Just my personal opinion though. To each his own as they say!
I'm with the "Shoulda either left it alone or gone all the way back" crowd. It will be interesting to see how the bidding goes.
Wonder what's going to happen with the 50th Anniversary cars. Bet they're even more fun than the original 289s – and will eventually be worth as much.
A friend had two of the 289 cars in the mid-60s; just about the most semi-legal scary fun ever chasing each other around Berkeley/Oakland/East Bay twisties!
The $192,995 Cobra is not an original Cobra built in 1962. It is a recreation built by Shelby 3 or 4 years ago. It is an 8000 series car.
It all depends on who really wants it and what he or she is really willing to pay? Duh! I just recently bought a 1965 Cadillac Eldorado convertible and paid a slight premium because it was red(Originally Tuxedo Black.) with white top(Original.) and red and white interior(Originally red (Firemist.), white and black. Otherwise a very original car with very low mileage for it's age. I was specifically looking for a red car as my dad, who loved Cadillac's, especially convertibles, always bought red, saying convertibles should always be red to really make them pop. Mine was not restomoded at all but the seats were re-done in a very good softer satin feeling vinyl, are much more durable, comfortable and not subject to staining, cracking and moisture if caught out with the top down in one of Florida's many showers. If I, or some subsequent owner, ever decided to frame off re-restore/restomod, while I would probably keep it as is, it could easily be taken either/and /or any of the three different directions. In fact I am in the process of upgrading to to stainless steel brake lines and hoses while considering a drum to drilled and slotted disc conversion as well as a fuel injected 500/four speed! Saving the original drive train and brake system parts of course!
The only thing I can say Howard is if I were going to pay the better part of a million dollars to buy this car, I'd expect a 260 in it, painted in the original color, and correct color interior. Why bother otherwise at that price? I love Cobras, but could only justify that price for completeness. This car is slightly incomplete in a purist's mind.
Locate the original 260 for this car, and you could probably turn a quick 100 grand!
How would you know if it really was the original 260 or not? There's no way to tell. Once the car and original engine parted company all bets are off. All 260's were alike.
I guess the bottom line is whether or not it gets what the asking price is at auction. Whomever bought the car bought it to flip it, not drive it, which is the real shame here.
I would have left it alone, I am certain it would have been much more of a thrill to drive to the limit!
Love those old style mag wheels.
Cobras are ugly. The only ones I like are early ones with little engines and skinny wires. They were sleeper Ace's. White with red interior would appeal to me way more than it's new Porsche scheme of silver and black, boring. Why these flippers do this stuff is unknown, but I'm sure they think it's worth it. Looked great in red as a 289. I'd have driven the wheels off of it like it was if I was that well funded.
Why they do it is for the $$$.
Personally, I hope the flipper looses his a$$ in the sale.
Cobras are great looking cars. What brings the "ooh's" and "aah's" is there weren't that many produced.
But I'll take that Cobra, sell it and buy a few old Corvette's, thank you very much!
I agree with your statment hoping that the flipper loses his a$$.
Why would you two wish someone bad luck, you reap what you sow bro!!!!
The original 260 Cobra engine is probably still powering a 60-era Bucket T hotrod out there somewhere.
I agree with most of you;if the guy was after originality,he should have at LEAST gone with the white exterior and red interior. The 298 isn't so critical as long as it wears the 260 trappings. I'd also lose the white-walls,original or not. They cross the foo-foo line for me.
The re-installation of a 260 is pointless unless the original unit was located. After Ford introduced the 289, Shelby offered to retrofit them for customers, so it was most likely scrapped. The decision to not restore to the original colors makes it simply re-modified. Bizarre. And probably bad decision making.
I have a 289 in white, which is just like it was brand new; it has 32,400+ miles on it now… I think the 289 is the best… just me, I suppose.
I saw the car in Ft Lauderdale last Saturday. The car looked really nice but it was behind a rope and I didn't care enough to try to BS the guys there that I was a real interested buyer.
The car sold for north of $800,000, $825,000 sticks in my head but I didn't write it down.
I didn't think it was worth that but what do I know. This is what happens when a couple of guys with way too much money get excited about a car.
If I really wanted a Cobra, I would have bought one of the Kit Cars that sold back of $40K
I bought csx2023 in 1971. it was all apart, no windshield, trunk, hood, no light buckets. It came with a bare block, 5 bolt bell housing. I still have it stored in my brother's garage in SoCal. It had the flares already done when I bought.

straight parallel wires A, B and C carryng current I=10 amp are on the corners of equilateral triangle with side a=30cm. The wires A carries current I into paper and wires B and C carry I out of the paper.
1. what is the direction of the total magnetic field on the center of gravity of the triangle?
2. calculate the magnitude of the total magnetic field

The magnetic field around a wire due to the current flowing through the wire is equal to B = `(4*pi*10^-7*I)/(2*pi*r)` where I is the magnitude of current flowing in the wire and r is the distance of the point from the wire where the magnetic field is being measured.
The direction of field is given by the right hand rule. If the wire is held in the right hand such that current flows towards the thumbs the fingers curl in the direction of the induced magnetic field.
In the figure, all the three wires A, B and C carry an equal magnitude of current. The magnetic field induced due to all the three wires at the point O that is equidistant from the points A, B and C is the same. The field generated due to the flow of current in wires B and C is opposite in direction to that due to the current flowing in wire A. This gives the net magnetic field at point O as:
`(4*pi*10^-7*10)/(2*pi*(0.3/sqrt 3))`
= `(2*10^-7*10*sqrt 3)/(0.3)`
The direction of the field is in the anti-clockwise direction.
Distance, r of each vertex from the centre of gravity of the equilateral triangle is given by
`=2/3*sqrt3/2*30` cm
`= 10sqrt3 ` cm
`=17.32` cm (approx.)
Magnetic field at the centre of gravity due to A,
`F_A =(mu_0*I)/(2*pi*r) = (4*pi*10-7 T m/A)*(10A)/(2pi*(0.1732 m))`
Magnetic field at the centre of gravity due to B and C will be the resultant of two vectors of magnitude F, operating at an angle of 120°
By the law of parallelogram of vectors, resultant of magnetic fields due to B and C at the centre of gravity,
`R_BC = sqrt(F^2+F^2+2F*Fcos120°)`
As the direction of current in wire A is opposite to that in B and C, the two vectors `R_(BC)` and `F_A` will have directions that are reinforcing each other (see the attached image).
Thus overall magnetic field at the centre of gravity
The direction of the overall magnetic field is perpendicular to the wires, along `F_A` with the anticlockwise magnetic lines of force.

#1 Ranked Children's Hospital by U.S. News & World Report
MyPatients provides referring primary care providers with secure access to their patients' information.
Boston Children's has launched the world's 1st program dedicated to offering hand transplants to children who qualify.

There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
Lymphoscintigraphy is a noninvasive medical imaging test that provides images of the lymphatic system. These images can help your doctors diagnose problems related to the lymphatic system.
At Boston Children's, the test is performed by the Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging program which provides a safe, comfortable and patient-friendly atmosphere with:

Lymphoscintigraphy is a noninvasive medical imaging test that helps your or your child's doctor diagnose problems related to the lymphatic system.
What is the lymphatic system?
The lymphatic system is a network of small channels—similar to arteries and veins—that transport the fluid and cells of the immune system to and from the lymph nodes and throughout the body.
This fluid—called lymph—normally flows slowly from the arms and legs toward the center of the body and into the blood stream.
If the flow of lymph is blocked, the fluid can build up and the affected areas can become swollen.
What is lymphoscintigraphy?
Lymphoscintigraphy is a special type of nuclear medicine test that provides images of your child's lymphatic system.
Why would my doctors use lymphoscintigraphy?
We use lymphoscintigraphy to evaluate children and adults who may have several different conditions:
What kind of equipment is used in lymphoscintigraphy?
We perform lymphoscintigraphy using a gamma camera—a specialized camera that detects radiation and takes pictures from different angles. A computer helps create the images from the data obtained by the camera.
How does lymphoscintigraphy work?
Does lymphoscintigraphy hurt?
While the injection can cause some discomfort—it might feel similar to a bee sting—the imaging process itself is completely painless.
We use a topical anesthetic to reduce the pain of the injection.
Is lymphoscintigraphy safe?
Nuclear medicine has been used on babies and children for more than 40 years with no known adverse effects from the low doses used.
Boston Children's is committed to ensuring that your child receives the smallest radiation dose needed to obtain the desired result. You can find out more here about what we're doing to keep nuclear medicine and radiology scans as safe as possible.
Can I stay with my child during lymphoscintigraphy?
Yes. We encourage you to stay with your child during the entire procedure, though other children are not allowed in the procedure room.
How should I prepare my child for lymphoscintigraphy?
Here are a few tips that may make the procedure easier for your child.
What happens if my child is afraid or uncomfortable?
Getting a lymphoscintigraphy scan can sometimes be a little intimidating for small children—that's why we've set everything up to be child-friendly. We place a great deal of importance on making sure children and their families are well informed about the procedure in advance, so that they know what to expect.
One of our child life specialists may also be available to help your child during the examination, using age-appropriate play and other distraction techniques.
Will my child be sedated?
No. Because lymphoscintigraphy just involves small injections and taking images, and because children only have to remain still for brief periods of time while being scanned, we don't use sedation for most children.
Our technologists and child life specialists are good at helping children and families remain comfortable through procedures like lymphoscintigraphy. It's because of these specialists that we so rarely need to sedate a child to perform lymphoscintigraphy—eliminating the inherent risks of anesthesia, especially in young children.
What do we do when we get to the hospital?
When you arrive, please go to the Nuclear Medicine check-in desk on the second floor of the main hospital. A clinical intake coordinator will check in your child and verify her registration information.
Then you'll meet with one of our nuclear medicine technologists, who will explain to you and your child what will happen during the procedure.
How long will the scan take?
You should plan on being here for most of the day. It may take some time for the radiotracer to move throughout the lymphatic system.
Not all the time is spent in the examination room, though. In between imaging sessions, you and your child can wait in the waiting room, take a walk or go to the cafeteria. Just be sure to return to Nuclear Medicine in time for any additional imaging.
What happens after the lymphoscintigraphy procedure?
One of Boston Children's nuclear medicine physicians will review your child's images and create a report of the findings. We will send the report to the doctor who ordered your child's scan. Your child's doctor will then discuss the results with you.
In the meantime, unless your physician tells you otherwise, your child may resume normal activities immediately after the scan.
What if I have more questions?
Our physicians, technologists, nurses, and child life specialists are all available to answer any questions you have about lymphoscintigraphy (and any of our tests); you can reach the Division of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging at 617-355-7010.

In my recent focus on the Digital Client -- defined as any individual who utilizes online services -- I've received a lot of thoughtful emails from CRM readers. A 57-year-old executive writes: "Social networks are as much for my Baby Boomer generation as they are for any other.... I can't live without them in either my professional [or] private life!' In fact, Hitwise -- an Experian firm that tracks 10 million U.S. Internet users interacting with more than a million Web sites across more than 165 industries -- has data suggesting that, of all social network traffic, 18-to-24-year-olds account for only about 30 percent -- and dropping. People 55 years old and over now account for more than 10 percent of that social traffic -- and that figure's rising.
Digital Clients -- of all ages -- most often get hooked at home, using social media to learn about topics of interest (e.g., a hobby, a sport, a vacation). Until recently, most were unable to continue their digital lifestyles in the office -- not enough of those offices were prepared to offer employees internal social networks or other Web 2.0 social media (e.g., blogs, wikis, RSS feeds, widgets, podcasts).
Here's some good news: A rising number of organizations'public, private, not-for-profit'have completed their Digital Client roadmaps and are in the midst of implementing them. I personally favor a roadmap that offers a long-term continuum in three distinct phases:
Phase 1: Create the NetworkAs Baby Boomers begin to retire -- taking lots of institutional memory with them -- organizations are in grave danger of losing significant strategic and tactical knowledge. The average tenure of a Generation Y employee is only around 18 months, and they're typically hesitant to formally document memory. Efforts relying on a knowledge base -- a technological information repository -- are falling short because they're unnecessarily complex. Social media can be a great helper for retaining institutional memory: You simply create social networking threads -- which most employees are happy to collaborate on, for their own purposes -- and you then capture and store relevant knowledge from these threads.
Phase 2: Define the NetworkMany organizations are quite concerned about "opening themselves up" (to competition, to revenge-seekers, and so on). So the next step in the social media continuum should engage key clients and partners in invitation-only forums that are planned and facilitated by your own subject-matter experts. This way, you proactively involve your clients in a desired information exchange that can be controlled. We're working with a financial services client to realize this approach; the firm plans to limit its invitation-only social network to a half-dozen invitees at a time so as to ensure a tightly managed, information-rich experience.
Phase 3: Explode the NetworkTripadvisor.com and Wikipedia.org are examples of sites that are open for public comment and content. For many, this is the ultimate phase in the continuum. At the same time, some feel threatened'they fear losing control of their brand. To address this, you need to not only carefully monitor (and correct) comments posted on your Web site, but also actively participate in the discussions there. Get proactive with your Digital Clients' they're going to chat about you over the Internet regardless of whether you host the discussion.
This three-phase continuum applies as much to the younger Digital Clients as it does to a 57-year-old executive. We'll discuss this continuum'and its effect on the Digital Client'at the destinationCRM 2008 event (www.destinationCRM2008.com). We'll also explore the three core Digital Client values:
Leaders and best-in-class organizations -- Amtrak, AAA Northern California/Nevada/Utah, and North Shore Credit Union, among others -- will share their trials, tribulations, and successes in engaging Digital Clients of all ages.

Ask a Dog Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Good Morning and welcome. I am Dr. Loretta, a licensed veterinarian and I am happy to answer your question.
This is a common first treatment for this condition but most of these cases will require surgical intervention. If this is a mild case, your vet may start with this moderate treatment trying to prevent the need for surgical intervention....this depends on the extent of the damage and individual case. After this period of time, your vet will re evaluate and determine if surgery is required.
This LINK explains in more detail.
Does that make sense to you?
Please let me know if you have ANY other questions. My goal is to give you 100% satisfaction and if you are not yet satisfied, please Reply so I can clarify for you
Sincerely, Dr. Loretta
ct scan has shown signs of osteoarthritic change and abnormality of ulna, she says surgery does not always work. i am concerned about how i cope woth such a young dog on permanent limited exercise
i guess my real worry is if he will be on such limited exercise for life or if he will ever be able to run and play again

HVLS fan maker, alarm company team up on smoke detection
Big Ass Fans, Xtralis enter into joint partnership to integrate early detection
Big Ass Fan Company has announced a strategic partnership with Xtralis, a leading provider of intelligent fire detection and security solutions, to provide advanced smoke detection solutions for Big Ass Fans, a leading provider of huge ceiling fans for industrial, institutional, agricultural, and commercial facilities worldwide. The partnership will integrate the Xtralis early warning smoke detection system with the Big Ass Fans technology
The Xtralis VESDA (Very Early Warning Smoke Detection System) provides for the earliest possible warning of an imminent fire hazard, particularly in high-volume spaces. Within the incipient stage of a fire, VESDA detects minute levels of smoke present in the air and offers up to three levels of alarm, all with adjustable thresholds, before there is visible smoke, flaming fire, or intense heat and often long before disruption, damage or injury can take place.
The VESDA system works with the Big Ass Fan by detecting smoke at the earliest stages, and then sends a signal to automatically shut the fan down. This automatic shutdown feature is designed specifically as a safety precaution that will eliminate any potential effect with a facility's ESFR (early suppression fast response) fire sprinkler system.
"It was extremely important for us to not only select the most trusted name in the smoke detection industry, but to select a technology that was proven," said Carey Smith, president of Big Ass Fans. "Additionally, by detecting the earliest possible sign of smoke, customers now have the potential of early warning, providing the opportunity to address an event earlier in its cycle."
"We are excited about this new partnership with Big Ass Fans," ssaid Ian Ehrenberg, generaliest stages, effectively avoiding any losses in productivity."

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.
