Nice spacious site, clean park, and helpful host. - magic

Office staff very friendly and helpful. Park is clean and well maintained. Sites are easy to get into. We had a 30 amp pull through site that was long enough to accept our motor home and toad without disconnecting. Lots of restaurants to choose from in Scottsburg just two miles from RV park. - Herb Richards

Just a few minor negatives- the grounds crew could've been friendlier. A smile and nod go a long way.
-there are ALOT of signs saying what you can't do. It's a little depressing
-there charge for EVERYTHING, even mini golf
Positives - the bathrooms/shower houses were super clean
- quiet time was quiet
- when they mowed around the RVs, they were careful not to throw grass on your rv and vehicle. - Rolando

Lot was very big and clean. We had full hookup. Every spot had shade but trimmed so the camper was not harmed. Each site had two picnic tables. The lake was beautiful and very peaceful. Overall a very relaxing trip. - Tlead4

LOVE, LOVE this campground! Very clean and well maintained campground. Bathhouses were very clean and shower stalls were very large. Campground host was very courteous and helpful with firewood. We stayed in site 218, which was one of the 90 degree angle sites and can see where it could be difficult especially with large campers and tow vehicles. Large sites, most have some shade afternoon or morning. Great lake with beach access. No Wi-Fi or Internet service at all, however with my iPhone with Verizon service was able to make phone calls and texts. Friend with iPhone with AT&T service had Internet and phone and text. But friend with Android with Verizon wasn't able to get anything including calls and/or texts. - CmcDowell

This is a good park for relaxing, spending time at the beach, biking, swimming (lake), and fishing. Facilities are clean. Store is small and close to lake. A couple of sites are sharp 90 degree turns which made it hard for this new RVer (2nd time) to park. Thankfully a kind neighbor assisted. Staff are courteous and generous with firewood. We have already made reservations to return. - tincansailor

This is a local park with a majority of Water/Electric sites but have 10 "Full" Hook-up sites. Very Clean park, with 3 playgrounds for kids. The only downside is that the Restrooms are NOT heated or air conditioned. There is a "Camp Host" on site. Water is turned off in Nov. Reservations can be made in advance. They also give discounts to Coast to Coast members. - md_procouple

We had visited this park last winter but could not get in to see the campgrounds. We booked this park as we were going to a nearby town and thought we would take a chance. We were very pleasantly surprised. We had a site with a water view that would have been better had some of the brush been cut back. Our site had ample room, a picnic table and a fire pit. We had an electric site in the F loop. The bathroom and shower house were quite nice but the building could use more ventilation as the temperature was in the 90's and the air was extremely heavy in there. A great stay and we will be back again. - jrhude

We arrived mid-week and the campground was nearly empty - only 4 other sites were filled. Our site F-26 was a pull-through at the end of the campground peninsula. Only electric hookups but water spigot was next to our site. We were on the water with easy access to the lake to launch our kayak. Our site was not level - we had to put blocks under the tires to get level. The staff are questionable - they didn't seem to know the answers to any questions we asked. The campground was about 75% full over the weekend - mainly tents. The folks who came into F27 next to us pitched their tent very close to our fire ring but that was the closest level spot to their angled driveway. Ruined our view of the lake. There was a guy fishing near us wearing a holster and gun - kinda scary. I quess it is legal in IN. We stayed 5 nights and would stay here again. - DKL1219

Beautiful, treed sites. There are a few 50 amp sites, and a few sites barely suitable for big rigs. Most of the sites are short and not level enough for a motorhome. The campground loop is a dead end and we had to unhook the toad to go back. You'll do well keeping your interaction with "management" to a minimum. We called 3 hrs ahead and were told sites are first come first served. Not true. On arrival we were charged $7 to find a site, but I waited 10 min in the rain while the ranger marked a map with a black pen to show sites that had been reserved that day and told me that these were reserved. That map was the only one in existence and she suggested I take a photo with my cell phone so I would not take a reserved site. I did so, but the sites are poorly marked. BTW, they could not spare a map for me to take. Anyway, that process did not work for me and we opted for Walmart. At the exit, the ranger had to call a supervisor in order to get permission to refund the $7 I had paid to enter. Do not enter the park when it is raining, you have to stand outside, under the dripping roof eave while waiting for the ranger to mark up the map that shows reserved sites. She had no clue as to which sites were pull-throughs and which were long enough in order to take a 38' motorhome. - rebane

This is a nice and spacious campground. The spots are not too close to each other. In the middle of the electric loop it is very open and there is not a ton of privacy. The perimeter sites are very nice and private. Sites 18-25; 34-35 are shaded and nice. Site 35 might be the most private spot in the park. Site 34 (ours) is also very nice and private. Also the tree on the left side (site #34 - as you look at the site) is now gone. Most of the non-electric (tent area) is mostly very private and may sites are shaded. Some of them are really nice, but would be tight for any trailer of size. - kettlebelle
Sep 2015 - $30.00
Most of the sites are well spaced and fairly level. Interior roads are asphalt and easy to navigate, with packed gravel pads. Nice fire ring with a very usable grate for cooking. The campground was completely full but still seemed pretty quiet. AT&T signal was weak, but generally usable at our site. Only drawbacks of the park are no camp store and no water hookups. Historic downtown Madison is a short 5 minute drive. - Daryn
Aug 2014 - $29.00
Flat, level sites. Bathrooms in electric were surprisingly clean during Labor Day weekend. Very few water hookups at bath houses and was afraid hose wouldn't reach to fill trailer, but it did. Playgrounds could use a bit more equipment. No camp store, only firewood sales at gate. Best sites are 24, 40, 9, 11. If with a group, consider 54/55, 87/88 or 69/70. - Cicero Cachers

While there are sites on the north side of the one campground road, the sites on the river side are by far the most popular. The Ohio River is right outside your rear window (or if you pull a motor home in nose first, it's right outside your front window). The campsites, themselves, are way too close together putting your neighbors on either side just a few steps away. If there's any redeeming point about the spacing it's that each site is at a pretty hard angle making your "front" yard also your neighbor's "back" yard. If everyone just uses their front yard there's enough room for you to use the picnic table and set out some lawn chairs to watch the river. However, if your neighbor in a motorhome happens to want to pull in nose first that scheme is messed up and you end up with the front door of their RV matching up with the front door of yours - creating a shared front yard. On the other hand, the utility hookups actually support this approach because the water/electric hookups are on every other site. If you get an even numbered site they are on the normal, driver's side of the rig (when backing in). Otherwise, you either pull in nose first or you have to pass the hose/electric under the camper. There are no sewer hookups in the campground, but there is a dump station. The campground has for-pay WiFi. We didn't use it as our Verizon signal was a strong 4G. Also satellite TV was easy to get - after all you are basically aiming it out over the river and there are no trees in play. The bathrooms are old and worn but reasonably clean and in working condition. Because of the public nature of the campground (right along a city street) you pay a $5 deposit to get a bathroom key. The number of sites is limited so, if you are coming during the busy time of the year I strongly suggest you call ahead for reservations - especially if you want a riverside spot. - nazpaz

Check-in very smooth. Friendly campground host. Sites VERY tight! Mostly level pads. $5.00 key deposit for shower/restrooms, refundable upon check-out. Clean but peeling paint. Ok for shower, plenty of pressure and hot water. Additional fee for Wi-Fi. $1day/$5week. Signal for Wi-Fi did not reach site, but short walk to Gazebo for excellent signal. Campground was at capacity during our stay. With that getting into some spots could prove to be difficult with awnings. The views of the river are second to none. Watching the river traffic was a great way to relax from our trip into Downtown Madison. Just a short drive away. We would stay here again. - Us2OnTheRoad
Jun 2011 - $25.00
The rating is based on the view and surrounding beauty - Madison is a great little town. CG sites are narrow, back-in only (not pull-throughs listed on RVParkReviews), electrical and water (you will need long hoses), and there is a dump station. Paved site to park on; slight inclines. Bathrooms are older with peeling paint but okay for a shower. Host is very helpful. If you are energetic, you can walk into town. Vaughn Street is blocked due to construction on the bridge so you will need to drive on 56 to the far east side of town (past the bridge) and then turn right on Ferry St. The CG is at the bottom of the hill, on the left, next to the river. We would definitely camp here again. FYI: there is a good laundry facility on Main St, west end of town. - Traveler_2011

We stayed at their park for 5 nights, the last weekend of October was considered a holiday and the fee was 44 per night for W/S/E 50 amp, the price dropped to 33 weekdays , the site was spacious for our 43 foot RV, all sites are paved, the park was very quite and peaceful, They have approximately 5 hiking trails ranging from one to approx 2 1/2 miles, its a very nice park to walk, hike or bike, have a campfire, I believe most site are electric only, with water spickets along the road ways, dump stations on the way out of the park, we were able to get our satellite and I suspect most sites can ???but certainly not all, perhaps 60% can.
They shut off the water and close most of the park Nov 3 but they are open all year. - Camping USA
Oct 2016 - $39.00
There is a daily vehicle fee. During our stay (not on a weekend), the guard booths were not manned and we were never asked to pay. Other reviewers do a good job of describing this absolutely wonderful state park. I will focus on a few other topics. First - We were there mid-October and, while the park was somewhat empty, nearly all full h/u sites were occupied. In fact, we had to leave on Friday morning because all full h/u sites were reserved for the weekend. Second - we didn't see any snakes or experience any "bug problems". We had lots of rain and water drained well at our site and around the park. Third - if you're coming in from I-65 via "Old Indiana 160", it's a typical two lane country road complete with curves and whoop-de-dos. The speed limit seems high relative to the road. Take your time. There isn't much traffic. Safety first. Last - we were in Site #185. It was big, had a hedge for privacy on our front door side and we were able to get a DirecTV signal. However, our windshield looked across the road directly at a utility panel maybe 6' high x 4' wide. There's enough beauty around that it doesn't make a difference but, if we go back, we'd select another site if available. Verizon cell and Sprint Mifi worked well. The CG does not offer wifi. Hook-ups worked well. Water pressure was fine. We loved our time here, wished we could have stayed longer and would certainly stay here again. - GottaGoNow
Oct 2016 - $37.00
The sites here are nice and large, typical of most state parks we've stayed in. The park appears very clean, groomed, and maintained. It's nice to find full hookups at a state park, and for a reasonable fee. There's also a $9 park entry fee, but fortunately that was a one-time charge and not a daily charge like most other parks. Sites are paved (asphalt) and fairly level, with picnic table and fire ring, and grass lawns. Each campground loop has a nice buffer of trees around each side, but there are few trees on or between sites, so there's not much privacy. There a plenty of hiking trails in the state park, including one from the campground, and one that visits the remains of the Rose Island amusement park that was destroyed in a flood 80 years ago. There's no WiFi, but our Verizon and AT&T both worked well. Since we had full hookups we didn't check out the bath houses at all and can't report on them. We'd return here. - LifeRebooted

Book notes: Rules for the Road
Title | Rules for the Road |
Author | Eve Luppert |
Luppert's guide to surviving an entry-level job is a good read for fresh
graduates who need tips on surviving the mindless drudgery of their
first year. "Do stupid things brilliantly," Luppert counsels, giving
hundreds of tips on surviving everything, including office gossip.
Of particular interest to me was the short segment on managing a
hands-off boss (hello, Mark! ;) ) on page 28. Luppert suggests finding
other people who have done what I'm trying to do and asking them
questions. Saving questions and ideas will help me make the most of rare
moments of contact, and I should take care to update him with tidbits
and stuff. Because he won't give me constant feedback, I'll need to give
myself whatever encouragement I need. Hmm.

LULAC Applauds President Obama's Call for Bipartisan Comprehensive Immigration Reform
Feb 13, 2013, 12:32 ET from League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In last night's State of the Union Address, LULAC was encouraged to see that the President's call for comprehensive immigration reform received support from both Republicans and Democrats. The President laid out a blueprint for immigration reform that included stronger enforcement, a pathway to citizenship, and a streamlined immigration process. LULAC's civic engagement efforts have included working with business, labor, and faith communities to pass comprehensive immigration reform in order to fix our broken immigration system. In addition, LULAC commends the President for creating the "Voting Rights Commission," a nonpartisan group that will offer recommendations to remove existing obstacles to electoral participation. LULAC was part of a group of national civil rights organizations that put forth the recommendation for establishing such commission.
"As the President said last night, the time for immigration reform is now, and LULAC will be at the table to ensure that the legislation meets the needs of our community," said LULAC National President Margaret Moran. "At present there are bipartisan groups in both the House of Representatives and the Senate working on legislation and it is our hope that there will be significant movement on this issue in the coming months."
As part of the 16th Annual Legislative Conference which takes place during LULAC Week, our members gather in our nation's capital to meet with Members of Congress and agency leaders to discuss the issues of critical impact to our community. In the last couple of months, LULAC has collected over 10,000 petitions from its membership urging congressional support for critical immigration reform and will be meeting with Members of Congress tomorrow advocating for passage of critical legislation that will have significant affect on our communities.
LULAC united the voices of business, labor, and faith in a blog carnival available at the LULAC blog, www.LULAC.org/blog. The carnival will be live at today's gala.
The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) is the nation's largest and oldest civil rights volunteer-based organization that empowers Hispanic Americans and builds strong Latino communities. Headquartered in Washington, DC, with 900 councils around the United States and Puerto Rico, LULAC's programs, services and advocacy address the most important issues for Latinos, meeting critical needs of today and the future.

Re-use piles of plastic to make a boardwalk maybe?
Mar 17, 2013, 04:48 AM #6
I heard they were going to use Great White Shark blood to paint it. Its cheaper than paint and looks better. So stoked
Mar 17, 2013, 03:08 PM #7
The wood is going to have to come from somewhere. I'm not sure why one would want to import wood from the Rainforest? The state of Georgia is one of the world's largest producer of raw wood - a project like this should stay in the US.

of all the trees. The f*#^in rain forest?! Dumbest thing I've heard in a while. Find any number of hundreds of loggers that do selective cutting in the US. Plenty of different types of wood to choose from.

As long as it's harvested sustainably, wood is a renewable resource. For SURE I would be against using virgin plastic for "boards." Recycled plastic might be the best answer.

April 7, 2008 TABLE OF CONTENTS APPLIANCE RECYCLING CENTERS OF AMERICA, INC. 7400 Excelsior
Boulevard PROXY STATEMENT This proxy statement contains information relating to the annual meeting of shareholders of Appliance Recycling Centers of America, Inc. (the Company) to be held on Thursday, May 15, 2008, beginning at 3:30 p.m., at the corporate offices of the Company, located at 7400 Excelsior Boulevard, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55426. The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Company for use at the 2008 annual meeting of shareholders and any adjournment or postponement of the meeting. The approximate date on which this proxy statement and form of proxy will first be sent or given to shareholders is April 15, 2008. ABOUT THE MEETINGWhat is the purpose of the annual meeting?At the Companys annual meeting, shareholders will act upon the matters described in the accompanying notice of annual meeting of shareholders. This includes the election of five directors. In addition, the Companys management will report on the performance of the Company during the 2007 Fiscal Year and respond to questions from shareholders. Who is entitled to vote?Only shareholders of record of outstanding common stock of the Company at the close of business on the record date, March 14, 2008, are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the meeting, or any postponement or adjournment of the meeting. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles its holder to cast one vote on each matter to be voted upon. Who can attend the meeting?All shareholders as of the record date, or their duly appointed proxies, may attend the meeting. What constitutes a quorum?The presence at the meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares of the common stock of the Company outstanding on the record date will constitute a quorum. A quorum is required for business to be conducted at the meeting. As of the record date, 4,565,777 shares of common stock of the Company were outstanding. If you submit a properly executed proxy card or vote your proxy by using the internet voting service, even if you abstain from voting, you will be considered part of the quorum. 1 How do I vote?Sign and date each proxy card you receive and return it in the prepaid envelope or vote using our internet voting service. If you return your signed proxy card or vote using our internet voting service but do not mark the boxes showing how you wish to vote, your shares will be voted FOR all nominees in Proposal 1. Can I change my vote after I return my proxy card or my internet vote?Yes. Even after you have submitted your proxy or voted by internet, you may change your vote at any time before the proxy is exercised at the meeting. You may change it by: 1) Returning a later-dated signed proxy card or re-accessing the internet voting site listed on your proxy card; 2) Delivering a written notice of revocation to the Companys Secretary at the Companys principal executive office at 7400 Excelsior Boulevard, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55426; or 3) Attending the meeting and voting in person at the meeting (although attendance at the meeting without voting at the meeting will not, in and of itself, constitute a revocation of your proxy). What are the Boards recommendations?The Boards recommendations are set forth after the description of the proposal in this proxy statement. In summary, the Board recommends a vote: · FOR the election of each of the nominated directors (see Proposal 1 on page 5). If you submit your proxy card or vote by internet, then unless you give other instructions on your proxy card or your internet vote, the persons named as proxy holders on the proxy card will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board. With respect to any other matter that properly comes before the meeting, the proxy holders will vote as recommended by the Board or, if no recommendation is given, in their own discretion. What vote is required to approve each Proposal?For Proposal 1, the election of directors, each shareholder will be entitled to vote for five nominees and the five nominees with the greatest number of votes will be elected. With respect to any other matter that properly comes before the meeting, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal will be required for approval. A properly executed proxy marked ABSTAIN with respect to any proposal will not be voted, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a negative vote. If you hold your shares in street name through a broker or other nominee, your broker or nominee may not be permitted to exercise voting discretion with respect to the proposal to be acted upon. Thus, if you do not give your broker or nominee specific instructions, your shares may not be voted on 2 the proposal and will not be counted in determining the number of shares necessary for approval of the proposal. Shares represented by such broker non-votes will, however, be counted in determining whether there is a quorum. Who will count the vote?An Inspector of Elections will be appointed for the annual meeting and will work with a representative of Wells Fargo Shareowner Services, our independent stock transfer agent, to count the votes. What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?If your shares are registered differently and are in more than one account, you will receive more than one proxy card. To ensure that all your shares are voted, sign and return all proxy cards or use the internet voting service for each proxy card. We encourage you to have all accounts registered in the same name and address (whenever possible). You can accomplish this by contacting our stock transfer agent, Wells Fargo Shareowner Services, at 1-800-468-9716. How will voting on any other business be conducted?Although we do not know of any business to be considered at the 2008 annual meeting other than the proposals described in this proxy statement, if any other business is presented at the annual meeting, your proxy gives authority to Edward R. Cameron and Denis E. Grande to vote on such matters at their discretion. When are shareholder proposals for the 2009 annual meeting of shareholders due?To be considered for inclusion in the Companys proxy statement for the Companys annual meeting to be held in 2009, shareholder proposals must be received at the Companys offices no later than December 16, 2008.

Such officers, directors and 10% stockholders are also required by SEC rules to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it, or written representations from certain reporting persons, the Company believes that, during the fiscal year ended December 29, 2007, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and 10% stockholders were timely complied with, except that the following reports were filed late: Form 4 reporting a stock option exercise and sale by Mr. Cameron; Form 4 reporting a sale by Mr. Bednarczyk; four Forms 4 reporting stock option exercises and sales by Mr. Carlson; and a Form 3 reporting initial ownership by Mr. Wolf.

Prior to joining the Company, Ms. Jones was an independent environmental consultant and previously worked for the Metropolitan Council of the Twin Cities, the State of Minnesota and the West Central Regional Development Commission. From 2003 to present, she has been an active volunteer for a local nonprofit organization. Director IndependenceThere are no family relationships between any of the nominees, directors or executive officers of the Company. In addition, Duane S. Carlson, Thomas F. Hunt and Glynnis Jones, the non-management directors of the Board, are independent directors as defined under The NASDAQ Stock Market (NASDAQ) rules. Albin S. Dubiak, a director since 2005 who is not standing for reelection at this years annual meeting and whose term will expire as of May 15, 2008, is also an independent director as defined under NASDAQ rules. Actions and Committees of the Board of DirectorsIn 2007, the Board of Directors met five times. The Board of Directors has two standing committees, the Audit Committee and the Compensation and Benefits Committee. In 2007, the Audit Committee met six times and the Compensation and Benefits Committee met once. The full Board serves as a nominating committee. The Board currently has no other standing committees and has no current plans to establish additional committees. Each director attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and of the committees on which the director served. It is the Companys policy that all Directors should attend the annual meeting of shareholders. Compensation and Benefits CommitteeThe Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors (the Compensation Committee) is composed entirely of non-employee directors Mr. Carlson, Mr. Hunt (Chairman) and Ms. Jones, who are also independent directors as defined under NASDAQ rules. The Compensation Committee is responsible for review and approval of officer salaries and other compensation and benefit programs and determination of officer bonuses. The Compensation Committee may administer and make grants under the Companys stock option plans. The Compensation Committee does not operate under a written charter. In the performance of its duties, the Compensation Committee may select independent compensation consultants to advise the committee when appropriate. In addition, the Compensation Committee may delegate authority to subcommittees where appropriate. The Compensation Committee may separately meet with management if deemed necessary and appropriate. Annual compensation for the Companys executive officers, other than the CEO, is recommended by the CEO and approved by the Compensation Committee. The annual compensation for the CEO is recommended by the Compensation Committee and formally approved by the full Board of Directors. Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related PersonsThe Audit Committee, comprised of Messrs. Carlson (Chair), Hunt and Ms. Jones, is responsible for the review and approval of all transactions in which the Company was or is to be a participant and in which any executive officer, director or director nominee of the Company, or any immediate family 7 member of any such person, (related persons) has or will have a material interest. In addition, all transactions with related persons that come within the disclosures required by Item 404 of the SECs Regulation S-K must also be approved by the Audit Committee. The policies and procedures regarding the approval of all such transactions with related persons have been approved at a meeting of the Audit Committee and are evidenced in the corporate records of the Company. Board Practice Related to Nominations of DirectorsThe Board as a whole performs functions equivalent to that of a nominating committee. In that capacity, the Board has no written charter. Duane S. Carlson, Thomas F. Hunt, and Glynnis Jones, the non-management directors of the Board, are independent directors as defined under NASDAQ rules. The Board will consider director candidates recommended by shareholders. The criteria applied by the Board in the selection of director candidates is the same whether the candidate was recommended by a Board member, an executive officer, a shareholder, or a third party, and accordingly, the Board has not deemed it necessary to adopt a formal policy regarding consideration of candidates recommended by shareholders. Shareholders wishing to recommend candidates for Board membership should submit the recommendations in writing to the Secretary of the Company. The Board identifies director candidates primarily by considering recommendations made by directors, management, and shareholders. The Board also has the authority to retain third parties to identify and evaluate director candidates and to approve any associated fees or expenses. The Board did not retain any such third party with respect to the director candidates described in this Proxy Statement. Board candidates are evaluated on the basis of a number of factors, including the candidates background, skills, judgment, diversity, experience with companies of comparable complexity and size, the interplay of the candidates experience with the experience of other Board members, the candidates independence or lack of independence, and the candidates qualifications for committee membership. The Board does not assign any particular weighting or priority to any of these factors, and considers each director candidate in the context of the current needs of the Board as a whole. Director candidates recommended by shareholders are evaluated in the same manner as candidates recommended by other persons. Board Contact InformationIf you would like to contact the Board or any committee of the Board, you can send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com, or write to the Company, c/o Secretary, 7400 Excelsior Boulevard, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55426. All communications will be compiled by the Secretary of the Company and submitted to the Board or the applicable committee or director on a periodic basis. 8 INFORMATION CONCERNING

(1) The option was granted under the Companys 2006 Stock Option Plan on January 27, 2007 and became exercisable with respect to 12,500 of the shares of common stock subject to the option on January 27, 2008, the one-year anniversary of the grant date. On January 27, 2009, the two-year anniversary of the grant date, the option will be exercisable with respect to all 25,000 shares of common stock subject to the option.
The Companys 2006 Stock Option Plan (the 2006 Plan) was adopted by the Board of Directors in March 2006 and approved by the shareholders at the 2006 annual meeting of shareholders. The 2006 Plan may be administered by the Compensation Committee or the full Board of Directors acting as the Committee. Under the 2006 Plan, the Company has reserved an aggregate of 600,000 shares of its common stock for option grants.
The Companys Restated 1997 Stock Option Plan (the 1997 Plan), which was adopted by the Board of Directors on March 1997 and approved by the shareholders at the 1997 annual meeting of shareholders, expired on March 6, 2007. Options outstanding under the expired 1997 Plan continue to be exercisable in accordance with their terms. As of March 14, 2008, options to purchase an aggregate of 96,000 shares were outstanding under the 1997 Plan, including options to purchase an aggregate of 28,500 shares held by employees and options to purchase an aggregate of 67,500 shares held by the Companys non-employee directors. Under the 1997 Plan, 377,250 options have been exercised.
Under the 2006 Plan, each non-employee director is automatically granted stock options for 7,500 shares upon his or her initial election as a director and upon each re-election by the shareholders. Each option to a non-employee director becomes exercisable six months after the date of grant, provides for the forfeiture of any nonexercisable portion if an optionee ceases to be a director for certain reasons, provides that the exercisable portion may be exercised for a period of 10 years from the date of grant, and expires on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. The exercise price of an option is the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted.
Employees of the Company, including employee directors, are eligible to receive awards of options to purchase common stock pursuant to the 2006 Plan. The Committee has the discretion to select eligible employees to whom awards will be granted and establish the type, price, amount, size and terms of awards, subject in all cases to the provisions of the 2006 Plan and the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
The exercise price of an incentive stock option cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted, except that if the optionee owns 10% or more of the voting rights of all of the Companys stock (10% Holder), the exercise price of an incentive stock option cannot be less than 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted.
Options granted to employees cannot be exercised prior to a set period after their date of grant, which cannot be less than one year during which time the optionee must remain employed by the Company. Each option specifies the expiration date, which may not exceed 10 years from the date the option is granted, provided, however, that if the optionee is a 10% Holder, the exercise period with respect to incentive stock options may not exceed five years.
Unless otherwise specifically provided in an optionees agreement, options cannot be exercised prior to the first anniversary of the date of grant and provide for the forfeiture of any nonexercisable portion if an optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company for any reason and that the exercisable portion may be exercised for a period of three months after termination (or one year in the case of death, disability or normal retirement).
The Audit Committee is responsible for relations with the Companys independent auditors, for review of internal auditing functions (whether formal or informal) and internal controls, and for review of financial reporting policies to assure full disclosure of financial condition. The Audit Committee adopted, and the Board of Directors approved, a revised written charter for the Audit Committee which was attached as an appendix to the Companys proxy statement for the annual meeting of shareholders held on May 4, 2006. Mr. Carlson (Chairman), Mr. Dubiak, Mr. Hunt and Ms. Jones, the Companys non-employee directors, serve on the Audit Committee. Each member of the Audit Committee is independent, as independence for audit committee members is defined by NASDAQ rules, and otherwise satisfies NASDAQ requirements for audit committee membership. The Board has determined that Duane Carlson is an audit committee financial expert under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
The Audit Committee reviewed the audited financial statements in the Annual Report with management, including a discussion of the reasonableness of significant judgments and accounting principles.
The Audit Committee reviewed with the independent auditors, who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), their judgments as to the Companys accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the committee under standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). In addition, the Audit Committee has discussed with the independent auditors the auditors independence from management and the Company, including the matters in the written disclosures required by the Independence Standards Board.
The Audit Committee discussed with the Companys independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their audit. The committee meets with the independent auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the Companys internal controls, and the overall quality of the Companys financial reporting. The committee held six meetings during 2007, five with the independent auditors and one without the auditors present. In addition, at the end of each quarter the chairman of the Audit Committee discussed with the independent auditors their findings and procedures relative to the auditors quarterly reviews.
In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors (and the Board has approved) that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2007 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Wasted Effort DIGNAN NECKLACE
Wasted Effort DIGNAN NECKLACE
Minimalist triangular brass pendant with geometric cutout pattern inside. Hangs from a 30" brass infinity chain. Lovingly cut, shaped, soldered and polished by hand.
Based in Vancouver, BC, Wasted Effort is a line of handmade jewelry, meticulously crafted piece-by-piece by mathematician-turned-artisan, Marie Foxall. The venture initially began as a hobby before blossoming into a brand in August of 2011. Effortless with a subtle futuristic feel, the line is made using traditional metalsmithing techniques coupling sterling silver and brass with non-traditional elements like plexiglass. Minimalist shapes, clean lines and a focus on simple geometry ensure that each piece fits seamlessly into the wearer's everyday rotation. The best part? The line is produced entirely in the designer's East Van studio.

Five people were rushed to hospital after a crash in Swanley on Saturday (April 19).
The incident occurred at around 3pm and included two vehicles on the A20 slip off at Swanley.
The slip road closed for almost three hours while South East Coast Ambulance Service (SECAmb) and Kent Fire and Rescue Service attended the scene.
Three people were taken to Darent Valley Hospital and two women were taken to the Princess Royal Hospital, Orpington, all with injuries thought to have been minor.
A SECAmb spokesman said: "There were five occupants in one of the cars including three children, all the patients suffered head and neck injuries."

Newcastle back to winning ways after Figueroa sees red
Newcastle United ended a run of four straight league defeats with a 3-0 home win against 10-man Wigan Athletic last night.
Demba Ba scored twice, his first a penalty after Maynor Figueroa brought down Papiss Cissé and was sent off in the 12th minute. Ba doubled his tally soon after, pouncing on a rebound. Gael Bigirimana then scored his first goal in professional football with a powerful drive in the 71st minute. MORE
Lancaster admits draw is 'difficult'
The hosts England will face Australia and Wales in Pool A at the Rugby World Cup in 2015. The England coach, Stuart Lancaster, conceded it was a "difficult draw". Scotland are in Pool B with South Africa and Samoa. Ireland are in Pool C with France and Italy. MORE
Arsenal are not in crisis, says Wenger
Arsène Wenger last night insisted Arsenal are not a club in crisis and claimed he is not affected by speculation over his future. "We lost one game in the last seven," he said. "I only have one pressure and that is to win the next game." The club travel to Olympiakos tonight. MORE
Mancini: We will fight for Europa
The Manchester City manager, Roberto Mancini, insists his team will fight for a place in the Europa League, which will be possible if they defeat Borussia Dortmund tonight, and if Ajax fail to win at Real Madrid. "We must try to play in the Europa League," he said. MORE
Messi in praise of Celtic supporters
Barcelona's Leo Messi has said Celtic, who defeated his side last month, deserve to progress in the Champions League. "We have not always been supportive of the way they play football," he said. "However, their fans deserve the knockout stages of the Champions League."
Ponting's career ends with defeat
Ricky Ponting was out for just eight in his final innings for Australia yesterday, in their 309-run defeat by South Africa, which wrapped up a 1-0 series win for the Proteas. Only Sachin Tendulkar (15,562) has scored more Test runs than Ponting (13,378).
Finn and Bell back for vital third Test
It is probable England will make two changes to a winning side for the third Test in India. Stuart Broad looks likely to be dropped for Steve Finn and Ian Bell is set to replace Jonny Bairstow, following a break at home after the birth of his child. MORE
Dettori braced for a six-month ban
Frankie Dettori faces a six-month worldwide ban when the stewards of France Galop meet in Paris today. The Italian, who turns 42 on Saturday week, tested positive for a prohibited substance at Longchamp on 16 September. MORE
Gardner in rallying cry to Sunderland
The Sunderland midfielder Craig Gardner has issued a rallying cry to his team-mates to save their season from developing into another relegation fight. "We need to stand up and be counted and take our chances," Gardner said. MORE
Robertson sets up Hawkins match
Neil Robertson earned a second-round match with Barry Hawkins by thrashing Tom Ford 6-1 at the UK Championship in York. Mark King also went through by defeating Mark Williams 6-3 last night.
James Lawton
Any suggestion that Avram Grant might now be reimmersed in the Chelsea stew sounds ultimately weird only if you detach it from the club's behaviour over recent weeks. MORE

Here's a first look at plans for Rochdale's new transport Interchange. The new facility will be on Smith Street, next to the River Roch and is lightyears ahead of the current concrete monstrosity.
While originally intended to serve Metrolink trams as well as buses, the interchange became bus only when funds to extend the currently in-development Rochdale and Oldham line beyond Rochdale rail station could not be found.
No word on when the new Interchange will be built but the plans include a shop, a Travelshop, toilets, bus operator and supervisor facilities, as well as electronic passenger information displays.
Look wise, it's no major departure from recent GMPTE bus station designs, such as Shudehill Interchange, Middleton and Hyde. Still, we're sure the people of Rochdale will appreciate not having to enter a concrete hell-hole in order to catch a bus, as they do right now.
UPDATE: We've just heard this from GMPTE:
Subject to planning permission being granted early next year, work should start on site in autumn next year and construction should take around 15 months (so it should open early 2012).
The interchange will be next to the proposed town centre Metrolink stop (for which outline planning permission has been granted). Funding for the Metrolink line to Rochdale town centre has been earmarked via the Greater Manchester Transport Fund, a £1.5bn 10-year investment programme agreed by the Association of Greater Manchester Authorities in May this year. The fund covers 15 major transport schemes and a delivery programme, which will outline when work could start on each scheme, is being finalised.

We did get to walk around a bit though and experience some of the great food Singapore has to offer...and some of the shopping! Naughty Liz. A walk down Orchard Road, Singapore's answer to Oxford Street, has finally put us in the Christmas mood with the fantastic lights and Christmas music playing everywhere. I think we're going to reserve judgement on Singapore until we can come back as non-budget travellers - it has a lot to offer...

Do not be literal in your interpretation. There is no benefit to TPTB in producing works that simply pass on knowledge. Their agenda is to change/pervert the way you think. So everything has the truth twisted. Notice the recent fixation on the Titans? Fascinating myth. Did you know that when Kronos ruled the earth it was referred to as the Golden Age? When the reign of Zeus began so did the reign of evil. |

Fall OASItching and tingling of the mouth can occur any time of year but may become more common during fall ragweed season. The symptoms are caused by a little-known condition, called Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS) or pollen-food allergy. About 70 percent of those with pollen allergies may be affected by OAS. Ragweed, which blooms from late summer to fall, is the most common cause. OAS occurs when your immune system recognizes a similarity between pollens and the protein in certain fruits and vegetables. This cross reaction triggers an allergic response, kind of a combined pollen-food attack. Those allergic to ragweed may experience swelling, itching, tingling or burning of the lips, tongue, throat or mouth when eating bananas, cucumbers or melon. Other triggers are chamomile, Echinacea, sunflower seeds, dandelion and zucchini. Symptoms usually are mild and subside within a few minutes. Other symptoms may include watery and itchy eyes, runny nose and sneezing. Approximately nine percent of individuals have more severe symptoms, including gastrointestinal problems (nausea, diarrhea) or skin allergies (contact dermatitis, hives, itching). About two percent may experience anaphylaxis, a life-threatening response. While ragweed is the most common cross-reactive pollen, there are grass, tree and weed pollens that trigger OAS during the spring and summer. Other possible pollen-food combinations include: Grasses: tomatoes, potatoes, peaches, melon, oranges, celery. Birch: potatoes, carrots, celery, parsnips, peppers, cherries, apple, pears, plums, peaches, kiwi, apricots, fennel, parsley, coriander, hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts. Alder: celery, pears, apples, cherries, peaches, parsley, almonds, hazelnuts. Mugwort (a weed): celery, carrots, various spices, apples, kiwis, fennel, peanuts, sunflower. Any of the above may react with: strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, other berries, citrus, grapes, mango, figs, peanuts, pineapple, pomegranate, watermelon. Many individuals will find they are only bothered by certain foods during the related pollen season. Avoiding the offending foods is one way to avoid the reactions. Some people find relief by peeling and/or cooking the foods. In addition, antihistamines and allergy shots may lessen symptoms.
